Death ruled a homicide

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A Spring Valley man’s death was ruled a homicide by a Bureau County coroner’s jury on Friday afternoon.

A six-member coroner’s jury said the death of 23-year-old Kyle Zinzer of Spring Valley was a homicide. The jury deliberated only a few minutes before issuing its decision.

Adam Curran of the Spring Valley Police

Department testified at the inquest. He said he responded to a call at 2:34 p.m. on Jan. 4 at the residence of Angel E. Moreno, who was living at 127 W. Minnesota St. in Spring Valley. Upon arrival at the scene, Cur-

ran said he found Zinzer not breathing with an apparent gunshot would to the leg. Because of circumstances found in the condition of Zinzer’s body, Curran believed he had been dead for several hours.

Curran said Moreno had made the 911 call.

A crime scene technician was brought in to help with the investigation.

Upon questioning, Curran said Moreno changed his story several times regarding the gunshot

wound and subsequent death of Zinzer. Curran said Moreno finally said the two — Zinzer and himself — were toying around with a shotgun, and it went off, hitting

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Sheriff’s Department helped in the recent investigation into child pornography in the Quad Cities area which led to the arrest of a Moline man.

According to a press release by the Moline Police Department on Friday, the U.S. Secret Service, Bureau County Sheriff’s Department and Milan Police Department worked with the Moline Police Department in executing a search warrant, relating to child pornography, on March 21 at a Moline residence where Leonard R. Fite, 28, lived.

Upon execution of the search warrant, Fite was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography.

Bond was set at $250,000 for Fite, who is held in the Rock Island County Jail.

As reported earlier by WQAD News Channel 8, court records show Fite was charged in Rock Island County with one count of producing child pornography with intent to sell and two counts of producing child pornography involving a victim under the age of 13.

WYANET — The Wyanet Food Pantry continues to meet a steady need to help feed the hungry within the Wyanet community.

Though the Wyanet Food Pantry does not typically do anything extra for the Easter season, Director Kathy Crayne said the food pantry is faithful in helping to meet supplies and food needs for people in its service area. Right now, the pantry shelves are well-stocked to make sure people have what they need. Of course, items are constantly going off the shelves and need to be replenished.

The Wyanet Food Pantry serves about 40 families each month, a number that has been fairly consistent for quite a while, Crayne said. It’s sad to see people come in who are struggling, but the volunteers help them feel at ease, and the people are usually smiling by the time they leave, she added.

The Wyanet Food Pantry continues to get items from both the River Bend Food Bank in the Quad Cities, and from the Midwest Food Bank in Peoria.

However, there are always other needs, especially in

PERU — On Friday afternoon, the four Chinese representatives visiting from Kinglee High School took a full tour of the St. Bede Academy campus to get a better look at their sister school.

Wei-Chi Lee, owner and president of Kinglee School, located in Zhengzhou, China, signed a formal agreement with St. Bede Superintendent Ted Struck last week. The agreement opens the door to a new opportunity for St. Bede students. Beginning next spring, selected students will be able to study for a semester at Kinglee, as St. Bede’s curriculum is on its way to being integrated into the school.

This year, St. Bede has hosted six students from Kinglee and plans to host a higher number of students next year.

On Friday, before the tour, Struck briefly sat down and answered a few questions people may be thinking about as the cross cultural education opportunity expands at St. Bede.

How will this opportunity impact the economic opportunity in the Illinois Valley?

“From a very naive perspective, the people of Zhengzhou, China, will be sending about 900,000 of their dollars here to pay for tuition for their kids to study at St. Bede,” Struck explained, assuring that dollar amount is gross, not net. “We don’t spend our money internationally.

Here at St. Bede, It’s all spent local.”

From a macroeconomic viewpoint, Struck explained it’s pure input with no cost to the economy of the Illinois Valley.

His daily costs to keep St. Bede up and running will be the benefit to the economics of the Illinois Valley because everything he will spend will be purchased here.

How easy will it be to integrate St. Bede curriculum into Kinglee High School?

With the help of tech-

Wei-Chi Lee (center), owner and president of Kinglee High School, spent Friday afternoon touring St. Bede Academy with Eileen Wang (left), director of International Affairs at Kinglee, Yao-Bing Wang (behind Lee), general manager of Kinglee and Jen-Hao Walter Hsu (right), director of International Department at Kinglee. The group got a closer look at their sister school and visited the living quarters where six Kinglee students who are studying at St. Bede this year currently reside. nology, Struck explained the task will be “a smooth process.” The procedure is in full swing with representatives at Kinglee already reviewing and discussing the curriculum.

“Once it really gets going, teachers here will send lesson plans over to (teachers in Kinglee), and we will have a mentoring program between teachers,” he said.

The teachers and principal at Kinglee will all be American citizens, which St. Bede Academy will hire.

“It will take effort, but I don’t see it being a burdensome. I see it as a professional development opportunity,” Struck explained, adding that St. Bede teachers having the opportunity to review curriculum might be a great refresher.

the interest in the beginning, however, until those first kids come back and say what a great experience it was,” he said.

Struck said St. Bede will start off only sending two or three students in the

spring and possibly during the next couple years, the school will increase that number. The students who attend Kinglee will do so at the cost of St. Bede tuition. The students selected to go will be based

on many factors including teacher recommendation, classroom effort, parental support and positive outcome after an interview with Struck.

Hazing law challenged in 2012 fraternity drinking death

By Andrea Azzo Shaw Media Service

SYCAMORE — Defense attorneys for the five former Pi Kappa Alpha members accused in the November 2012 death of a Northern Illinois University freshman are claiming their felony hazing charges are unconstitutional.

Defense attorney Richard Kayne was the first to file a formal request asking DeKalb County Associate Judge John McAdams to drop the charge against 22-year-old Steven Libert of Naperville, claiming Illinois’ hazing laws are too vague. The four others charged in freshman pledge David Bogenberger’s death quickly followed suit.

Illinois’ hazing law prohibits people from requiring students to perform any unauthorized act that causes bodily harm in order to be accepted in a group connected with a school. Bogenberger died at the fraternity house with a blood-alcohol level of 0.351 percent after a non-sanctioned party in which fraternity members and other guests ordered the pledges to drink vodka, authorities said.

“This hazing statute is incurably vague, not only in application to the defendant, but in all other situations,” Kayne said in court records. “The term ‘any act’ is not defined, and it is literally boundless in meaning.”

But DeKalb County prosecutors are arguing

Illinois’ law is similar to laws in 17 other states, where hazing laws prohibit any act or method that inflicts physical or mental harm. A hearing on the motion will take place at 1:30 p.m. April 24 at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 133 W. State St., Sycamore.

“Forcing somebody to drink large amounts of alcohol to get into a fraternity is a prime example for hazing,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Julie Visher.

Visher also compared Illinois’ hazing law to the battery law, which says a person commits battery when he or she causes bodily harm or makes insulting physical contact with someone “by any means.” A doctor accused of inappropriately touching a patient unsuccessfully claimed the battery statute was vague in the past, Visher wrote in court documents.

In Bogenberger’s case, Bogenberger’s family has claimed that Bogenberger and 18 other pledges drank several 4-ounce glasses of vodka in rapid succession, but their “Greek parents” decided against calling for medical help – and also told others not to do so, according to a pending wrongful death lawsuit.

Instead, the fraternity leaders and women invited to participate in the non-sanctioned party gave the pledges decorated buckets and positioned their unconscious bodies in a way they thought would prevent them from

choking if they got sick, court documents allege.

Peter Coladarci, the Bogenberger family attorney, said there is no serious question that the defendants were engaged in hazing.

Coladarci interviewed members of the fraternity under oath last week and plans to file new information in the wrongful death lawsuit by the end of the month, he said. The wrongful death lawsuit is next due in court April 30 in Cook County.

“In the literature, it says if you think it’s hazing, it probably is,” Coladarci said. “I’ve seen that in risk management handbooks in multiple fraternities, including this fraternity.”

Meanwhile, criminal charges remain pending against Libert as well as fraternity president Alexander M. Jandick, 22, of Naperville; vice president James P. Harvey, 22, of Northfield; pledge adviser Omar Salameh, 22, of Burbank; and secretary Patrick W. Merrill, 21, of DeKalb. All five men have maintained their innocence throughout court proceedings.

If convicted, each could be sentenced to probation or to between one and three years in prison.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, a Northern Illinois University student from Princeton was among the students charged with a misdemeanor offense in the hazing death incident.

A stitch in time ...

Mary Wallis of Princeton works on a project during a beginner bead embroidery workshop, held Saturday at the Christ Community Church in Princeton. The event was sponsored by the Covered Bridge Quilters Guild.

Arrest From Page 1 Since the residence was also the location of a day care, the Department of Children and Family Services is handling that investigation, Moline Police Lt. John Hitchcock stated in Friday’s press release.

The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking that anyone with further information contact the Moline Police Criminal Investigation Division at (309) 5242140/ (309) 797-0401 or Crimestoppers at 762-9500.

On Monday, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said his depart-

ment’s involvement in the Moline-based investigation is because of Bureau County’s involvement in the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force.

He had the unique opportunity to involve the sheriff’s department in the nationwide ICAC task force about a year ago. He has one officer, Trey Barker, involved in the task force. The work is primarily technologybased where Barker can see and observe people whom he has been assigned to investigate, the sheriff said.

The Bureau County Sheriff’s Department is one of many members of the ICAC task force. Barker has worked on cases from

several different areas and counties. His involvement with the Moline case was requested by the U.S. Secret Service, Thompson said.

Another recent investigation in the Quad Cities area, in which a school janitor was alleged to have placed cameras in restrooms, was also the result of an ICAC investigation, Thompson added.

The ICAC program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing more than 3,000 federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecuting agencies.

when “he realized his friend had died, he took the gun to his grandmother’s (home).”

Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff said she pronounced Zinzer dead at the scene, after which he was taken to St. Margaret’s Health in Spring Valley. She said the gunshot wound was in Zinzer’s thigh. Toxicology reports deter-

mined Zinzer’s blood alcohol level (BAC) was .390 — five times over the legal limit.

Moreno’s BAC was never tested, since it had been several hours between Zinzer’s death and the time Moreno made the 911 call.

A pretrial is set for Monday.

The food pantry volunteers are a great group of community-minded people, with some of them going above and beyond this winter to help some people get clothes for their family through The Closet store in Princeton.

“It’s amazing what neighbors do for neighbors here in Wyanet, and I’m not just talking about giving to the food pantry.” Crayne said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the Wyanet Food Pantry was established in March 2003

as an outreach of the Wyanet United Methodist Church. The food pantry serves individuals or families who live in Wyanet or Wyanet Township.

However, no one will be turned away that first time but will be directed to the right pantry for the next month, Crayne has said.

Located in the basement of the United Methodist Church at 112 W. Main St., the food pantry is open from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursdays.

Death ruled accidental

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A Bureau County coroner’s jury ruled the death of a 49-year-old Manteno woman as accidental.

Susan’ McIlvain’s death was ruled as accidental Friday afternoon at an inquest at the Bureau County Courthouse.

Illinois State Police Trooper Richard Vanko testified at the inquest. He said conditions were snowy and a bit slippery on Dec. 8, 2013, when he was called to the scene of an accident on Interstate 80 at Mile Marker 46.5.

Vanko said McIlvain’s Ford Mustang left the eastbound roadway, traveled through the median, rotated almost an entire turn and hit the driver’s side of a westbound 2007 Peterbilt semi truck. The semi driver, who was the only witness to the accident, said he was driving about 55 to 60 miles an hour in the left lane. When he saw McIlvain’s vehicle coming toward him, he attempted to change to the right lane but could not complete the maneuver before McIlvain’s vehicle hit him.

Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff said McIlvain was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:30 p.m. She died from blunt force trauma to the head and neck. Toxicology reports revealed no alcohol or drugs were found. The truck driver also tested negative for alcohol or drugs.

From the editor’s desk Well, my backyard looks like a rabbit rodeo is going on — hopping, racing, jumping — the antics are fun to watch. Robins are frequently visiting the birdbath on the deck rail, and I even watched one devour a worm the other day. My winter coats have been swapped for lighter jackets, and I can’t help but notice the baby calves in the fields on my travels around the county.

Spring is here, and I, for one, am ecstatic.

••• If you haven’t seen it yet, our Illinois Valley Living Spring 2014 edition is on the streets.

• Joe said he always likes the service he gets at Verucchi’s Ristorante in Spring Valley. “They always make me feel like I’m part of the family. That says a lot these days. Whenever I think about going out to eat with my wife and family, Verucchi’s is always first on the list of places to go.”

• Mary Jane said Avanti’s Foods in Walnut delivers great customer service. “When I go to Avanti’s, I never quite know what I want to buy — I’m usually searching for something for supper. The ladies behind the counter are always so patient and tell me to take my time. That means a lot, and I always go home happy.”

••• Just a reminder: Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. It’s a time to reflect and see how those reflections affect our lives today.

••• Thought for the day: “The feller that brags about how cheap he heats his home always sees the first robin.”

The beauty of spring is and will continue to be all around us, and once it’s gone, it won’t be back for several months. Take deep breaths. Exhale slowly. Embrace the season. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

Given the recent shootings at Fort Hood, do you think returning military personnel are offered enough mental health services?

“I think that any person that serves our country should receive all the help they need when they are put in difficult situations that they’ve never experienced before.”

Lois Peterson, Princeton

“The organization “Children of the American Revolution” is sponsoring a program called War Dogs that gives trained dogs to help soldiers suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Maybe this would’ve helped the soldier at Fort Hood.”

Beverly Larson, Princeton

“I’m not sure. I really don’t know what they receive.”

Nancy Gillfillan, Putnam “Anyone who has experienced trauma or loss should be offered and receive as much mental health support as they need.”

Diana Williamson, Henry

“Mental health issues should be treated as health issues and not stigmatized. Not enough resources are allocated to those suffering mental health issues in the civilian community. On military bases it’s probably worse. I can’t imagine there are many more resources there, and they experience the stresses of life and death routinely.”

Scott Hartman, Princeton

This, that and the odder Some of you may know I have been taking pictures for the Bureau County Republican for about eight months. I had my first pictures in the paper last year toward the end of July. After the initial thrilling excitement that my pictures were actually in the paper, I still love it. The best part is all my adventures.

Every week, usually on a Thursday, either Terri Simon or Donna Barker calls me and gives me a few places to take pictures during the weekend.

The places they assign me are all over the area. I have learned where all the different towns are around Bureau County. Because I’m not 16 yet, my mom usually drives me everywhere.

She is learning right along with me.

Sometimes I go to Arlington, Ladd or Cherry, and sometimes I go to Manlius, Sheffield or Walnut. Even though most of my assignments involve taking pictures of people eating or serving food, each trip ends up being its own journey.

Because of all the snow this winter, some of my assignments were difficult to attend. One night my mom and I headed to Walnut after Saturday Mass. I was sent to a spaghetti supper at a church. When we left Princeton, it was snowing a lot, but we thought it was probably OK to continue on. By about halfway, my mom was saying, “It’s pretty bad out. I don’t think we should have come.”

As we were nearing Walnut we started thinking that nobody would show up because the snow was so bad. Convinced the trip was a complete waste of time, my mom got all excited when we pulled in and the first thing we saw were tons of cars outside a building. Inside the building was a room full of people, and there were balloons on all the tables.

My mom pulled into this made-up parking spot right out front and said, “This will make great pictures.”

Amelia Bystry COMMENTARY What she had completely failed to see was the big sign in the front shaped like a No. 1. On the sign was “Callie Jo” with a big bunch of balloons attached. I then had to inform my very excited mother this was a birthday party, not a spaghetti supper.

It wasn’t even in a church. When we found our correct destination, there ended up being plenty of people to photograph. The entire way home we were laughing about what would have happened if I had walked into Callie Jo’s birthday party ready to take pictures.

I have learned through experience to identify myself before I start taking pictures of children. I was assigned to go and take pictures around Christmas time of Santa Claus with kids on his lap. I would take the picture, and then tell the parents I was with the newspaper and ask for the child’s name.

I had met the lady in charge of the Santa program before at a library assignment, but she didn’t remember that I was with the paper, and she did not recognize me from the library program. The entire time I was taking pictures she kept staring at me. When she realized who I was, she came over and told my mom and me she thought I was stalking all of the kids. She said, “I thought she was with one family, and then she started taking pictures of another family’s kid.” I recently ran into her, and she jokingly said, “Oh there is the child stalker.”

Another thing I have slowly learned since I have been taking pictures at the newspaper is what you should wear to different assignments. In the last two months, I have been assigned to two wild game dinners. The first

one was in Manlius. My dad took me, and as soon I walked through the door, I wished I hadn’t worn my bright mustard yellow swing coat. I was surrounded by people in camouflage jackets and pants. I looked like a giant yellow canary in Alaska. I tried to take all the pictures quickly and get out of there. When I got home I told my mom that if I ever went to one of those again I would borrow my brother’s camouflage jacket.

A few weeks later my mom told me I had to take pictures in Malden. I had asked her multiple times what I was taking pictures of, but it never actually registered to me that it was another wild game dinner until we pulled up and I saw all of the pickup trucks. This time my outfit was much worse. I had on an extremely sparkly cardigan and heels. My mom ditched me and stayed in the car. As I went in I thought, “I’ll just take them quickly; it can’t be much worse than the other one.”

I was wrong because there was only one other girl in the entire room. I stuck out SO bad. After I listened to a few of his jokes first (that I did not understand), I told the guy who was at the table in charge of raffle tickets, that I was from the paper. I really think I heard it slowly make its way through the small crowded room of men who did or didn’t want their picture taken, “She’s from the paper.”

All of my experiences teach me something new. I am getting really good at handling difficult personalities or just laughing at jokes that I truly don’t get. I love seeing all the pictures I take at the end of an assignment and showing them to my mom. I hope people are starting to recognize me and know that I am there to take pictures for the paper and that I am not just some child stalker that sticks out.

PCA students travel to Chicago PRINCETON — Princeton Christian Academy seventh- and eighthgrade students in Marty Kiser’s Language Arts class recently traveled by train to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier to see Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

This year the entire trip was paid for by a Target Field Trip Grant.

Every year the theater performs especially for students an abridged production of one of the Bard’s most popular plays, announcing the selection a year in advance so students are able to read the play beforehand. Consequently, the students in Kiser’s class read and studied “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in preparation for this production.

Every year the PCA literature classes read two Shakespeare plays, including “Comedy of Errors,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet,” “Macbeth” “Taming of the Shrew” and other performed by the CST.

Community Notes Lenten meditation and luncheon PRINCETON — Hampshire Colony Congregational Church will host a Lenten noontime musical meditation and luncheon on Wednesday, beginning at 12:10 p.m. in the church sanctuary. The musical performance will be by the Bystry family and the lunch will be chicken casserole. A free-will offering will be accepted.

Lenten service PRINCETON — St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church will have its final Wednesday evening Lenten service at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The church will welcome Pastor Tim Kenyon of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Peru. The theme for this homily is “Change of Circumstances.” A soup supper will be at 6 p.m.

IVCC stages Gypsy April 10-13 OGLESBY — The rags to rhinestones story of the world’s most famous strip tease artist, Gypsy Rose Lee, will take the Illinois Valley Community College Cultural Centre stage April 10-13 when the theatre department presents “Gypsy.”

Shows are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.

Based on Gypsy Rose Lee’s memoirs, the classic musical takes the audience from the last days of vaudeville to the birth of burlesque with well-known songs like, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You” and many more.

While the plot follows Gypsy’s true story of humble beginnings – from a kiddie act with her sister to her glory days as the “Queen of Burlesque” – the driving, unstoppable force and star of the show is Gypsy’s mother, Mama Rose, who pushes her daughters mercilessly through show business and toward stardom.

The role was originated on Broadway by Ethel Merman and others who have stepped into the role include Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, Bette Midler, and in the film version, Rosalind Russell.

For IVCC’s production, the complex character is played by Karen Lesman of LaSalle.

“Karen is the whole package – she’s a great singer and belter, as she needs to be for this role, but her acting runs the course from bully to warm moments, and

Illinois Valley Community College will present “Gypsy” Thursday through Sunday. vulnerable to borderline crazy. Karen embraced this difficult role with dedication and professionalism,” said director and choreographer Don Grant Zellmer.

Transforming from gangly to gorgeous in the title role is Emily Hanck of Peru as Gypsy.

“We are truly lucky to have two such strong performers as Emily and Karen for this production,” said Zellmer. “I admire Emily for stepping out of her comfort

zone to go from a tomboy to actually doing four strip routines in one number.”

The cast numbers almost 30 and includes community members, students, children and even animals. The cast began rehearsals in February and are now in the final stages of preparation, Zellmer said. This is the first production in the Cultural Centre since construction began on the Peter Miller Community Technology Center

in early 2012.

“We’ve been doing our productions all over the place such as St. Bede and the Hegeler-Carus Mansion,” said producer David A. Kuester, “sort of like gypsies, so ‘Gypsy’ seemed a natural choice to reopen the theatre with. We also like to expose our students to the classic musicals that aren’t done as much anymore.”

Others featured in the production are Gary Talsky of Spring Valley as Herbie, Alex Guerrero of LaSalle as Tulsa, Hannah Monroe of McNabb as Dainty June and Jessica Nelson of Ladd as Tessie Tura. The production team includes Zellmer, Kuester, music director Norman Engstrom and technical director Jenna Stinson.

Because the production covers the late 1920s to the early 1940s and takes place on stage and backstage, the dozens and dozens of costumes include period styles as well as “on stage” costumes such as a two-person cow to three very unique strippers, all with different gimmicks. Taking on the challenge of the look of the show through costuming is Kuester and Stinson.

Tickets are sold at the door and are available one hour prior to show times. General admission is $15, for non-IVCC students $10, and IVCC students get in free with ID. Due to mature content, no children under 10 are permitted.

Casting call for Stage 212’s ‘Boys R Us’ LASALLE — Director Kyle Foley has announced that auditions for Stage 212’s special production of “Boys R Us,” a musical revue featuring boys in grades 4-12, will be at 6 p.m. April 25 and 1 p.m.

April 26 at the theater, 700 First St. in LaSalle.

“Boys R Us” features

such diverse songs as “Hard Knock Life,” “Luck Be a Lady,” “Seize the Day,” “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” and much more.

No preparation is necessary to audition. Those auditioning should come dressed to move, with dance shoes or tennis

shoes — flip-flops are not encouraged. Boys will be taught a song and a few dance moves to perform during auditions.

Boys who would like to be considered for a solo will audition again with a pre-selected song from the groups Facebook page “Stage 212’s Boys R Us.”

Show rehearsals will be Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings beginning in May through the first weekend in June.

“Boys R Us” will be performed June 6-8.

Stage 212 auditions are open to all regardless of prior theatrical experience.

Owens earns Eagle Scout Award Story compliments of the Bureau Valley Chief TISKILWA — Ryan Owens was honored March 29 at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor, held at the Museum on Main in Tiskilwa. A senior at Princeton High School, Owens is the son of Scott and Sandra Owens of Tiskilwa.

Scouting has been a part of Owens’ life for many years and raising his level of participation to Eagle Scout was no small project. Owens was required to complete a project which would benefit his community. The project he chose was to relocate the Indian Rock, which Bob and Mick Bowers wanted to donate to the Museum on Main to preserve the Indian heritage of the community of Tiskilwa.

Owens and his family researched the authenticity of the rock and what it could have been used for. They even drove to Dickson Mounds to gather more insight, and the experts there believe the rock was used by the Indians to crush berries for juice. Bob Bowers discovered the rock about 30 years ago on the Russell farm west of Tiskilwa, and before Clare Russell moved out of the area, she gave it to Bob and his wife, Mick.

“To some people, it’s just a rock, but to us, it’s something to be respected; something that’s

Ryan Owens priceless. We are happy to be a part of its preservation,” Mick Bowers said.

Owens planned and presented a project design to the historical society board for approval; organized the moving of the rock to the museum; and landscaped the area with additional rocks, stepping stones and native prairie plants. An interpretive plaque is part of the display at the museum.

During Owens’ address at the ceremony, he thanked the many people who had a part in making this project possible, including his parents, uncle, grandfather, neighbors, friends, Ed Waca and Delmar Beams, the TCA and those who made donations to cover expenses. And of course, he thanked the Bowerses for donating this priceless artifact to the museum.

Microbes, sometimes called microorganisms, are tiny living things. They are so small they can only be seen with a microscope but they are all around us – and ON us, too. Many microbes are helpful, but some can cause illnesses. Here are some common microbes as seen through a microscope. Do the math to identify each of them.

PRINCETON — Fran Robbins sat on the bleachers in Prouty Gym behind the home bench, just as she did years ago, watching her sons play for the Princeton Tigers.

Half of her boys made it back to play in Saturday’s first PHS alumni basketball game, including Tom (class of 1979), Scott (1983) and Doug (1985).

“This was fun,” she said, hoping next year that son Tony (1979), Jeff (1987) and Jimmy (1991) can join them.

PHS athletic director Jesse Brandt divided the alumni into two games, the first featuring PHS alums 35 and older and the second for those 35 and younger.

About the first game, Scott Robbins, class of 1983, said, “we didn’t run much, but that was kind of the gameplan.”

Donny Smucker had the honors of being the oldest player suiting up, calling himself a “young 60” just days before turning 61. He’s a 1971 graduate of Tiskilwa High School, which annexed into Princeton in 1995-1996.

As a junior his Tiskilwa team reached the regional finals against LaSalle-Peru in the old one-class system.

“I like playing against the younger guys,” said Smucker, who plays once a week in a half-court league on Sunday afterBCR photo/Mike Vaughn noons in Rock Falls.

Chad Hamel, a three- Garrett Youngren, a 2009 PHS graduate, hung around Prouty Gym with some slam dunks during Saturday’s alumni basketball games. He was one of 32 See PHS Page 12 alumni to come play for a homecoming game.

MANLIUS — Things are really looking up for the Bureau Valley girls track and field team this spring.

After dropping down to only 12 girls last year, the Storm has doubled their numbers and stand 24 strong this spring.

“That will enable us to fill all the events. That will be very important to us now that we now have a much bigger conference this season,” BV coach Dale Donner said. “The Three Rivers should be one of the best track conferences in the state.”

The Storm return three state qualifiers in the junior class with Sydney Lebahn (throws), Lindsey Hoffert (jumps, sprints) and Regan Weidner (3200). Hoffert placed third in 1A long jump at state a year ago and was the state runner-up as a freshman. Weidner finished 13 in the 3200 meters, but did not place.

She placed third in 2011.

Other returning letter winners include seniors Lauren Peterson (hurdles), Kelly Sirens (hurdles) and Katelin Johnson (mid distance), juniors Haley DeVoss (sprints) and Riley Francis (distance) and sophomore Abby Howes (hurdles).

The Storm have also added some newcomers in foreign exchange students Helena Arnadottir (jumps, mid distance) of Iceland and Roni Riggen (distance) of Mexico, both who had strong cross country seasons.

Senior Lexi Kruse will

help out in sprints and jumps with juniors Khloe Koser in sprints and the pole vault and Corrinne Wigenknecht running distance.

There are promising freshmen with Lexie Jacobs (throws), Tianna Kennedy (jumps, sprints), Laina Kruse (jumps, mid distance), Marissa Mungia (sprints, jumps), Taylin Ritter (PV, throws, mid distance), Sam Roberts (sprints), Katie Smith (sprints), Sydney Sweenie (distance), Sabrina Webb (HJ, sprints) and Heather Williams (distance).

“We have a lot of confidence in our freshmen class along with all our returners and have set our goal for a top three finish in conference,” Donner said. “We also feel we can qualify a couple relays for state, along with a handful of individuals. We feel we have a lot of talent and depth to compete with most teams in the area.”

BV boys The Bureau Valley boys return a great amount of talent from last year, though will have to make up for the loss of threetime state medalist and BCR Track Athlete of the Year Logan Hoffert.

Trojans sweep Tigers

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Timely hits and defensive stops by Mendota helped the Trojans sweep a doubleheader against the Princeton Tigers Saturday afternoon in Princeton.

Mendota won the first game 2-1. It was a defensive battle as each team only combined for eight total hits while the bats came alive in the second game as Mendota edged Princeton 6-4.

“We were just down. We did

not play to the level that we can play I think we played down a little bit today,” Princeton coach Tim Taylor said. “Everything we hit went right to them capped off by the last line drive at the end (of game two) to the second basemen, and that’s just the way our at bats were all day, they were getting those little duck snorts to fall in and we just couldn’t buy those types of hits today.”

Princeton jumped out front early in the bottom of the first inning after a sacrifice bunt by first basemen Logan Wilde

scored starting pitcher/center fielder Isaiah Taylor to take an early 1-0 lead.

Mendota answered in their very next at bat tying the game 1-1 on a bases loaded walk.

The Trojans failed to capitalize further on their early scoring opportunities, leaving the bases loaded each of the first three innings while only scoring one run.

The bats for both sides fell silent until the seventh inning when Mendota finally platted the game winning run when a

Storm

From Page 11 Leading that charge is seniors Tucker Schoff, Ryan Taylor, and Daniel Trone, who return from the 4x400 relay that medaled at state last year. Schoff returns to the hurdles running this year with his freshman brother Hunter Schoff.

Seniors Kane Eastwood, Colton Peterson and Taylor move down to some sprint events as well as still focus on the some of the middle distance events.

Senior Andrew Smith and junior Charlie Lotspeich continue to work on distance events joined by freshmen Hunter Lewis and Cole Kaiser and sophomore Julian Osorio.

Sophomores Will Konneck and Trey Dale and seniors Jeremiah Blackert and Joe Fisher provide stability in the sprints and sprint relays as well. Freshmen sprinters include Michael East-

year starting point guard for Roger Lowe’s Tigers from 1988-90, was the youngest of the players in the first game. He showed he’s still got some game, leading the Blue team to a 52-42 victory.

“I guess I did OK. My boy said I played pretty good out there,” said the father of three from Normal.

His wife, the former Nicki Lange, said she found herself wanting to perform some of her old cheers from her cheerleading days.

There was a lot more get up and go in the nightcap, which featured players graduating from the turn of the century. Nathan Cook was the oldest from the class of 2000 with 2012 grad Jacob Fisher the youngest.

This game featured some interesting sibling matchups between the Fisher and Vrana brothers.

Scott Vrana (2006) was hot early for the White team, knocking down several threepoint shots in the row. He said on his last he was just wanting to shoot it as high as he could so his not-so small little brother, 6-7, Ryne, “didn’t knock it into the bleachers.”

Ryne Vrana (2010) went on to play at Sauk Valley and the past two years has been tearing up intramurals at ISU. He added some dunk shots as did former teammate Garrett Youngren (2009), now a teacher and coach at Peoria Heights High School, who tested out the Prouty Gym backboards and rims with some powerful slams.

While Jacob Fisher gave the nod to his brother on the court, Jon Fisher (2009) said his little brother did “some things that made me say, ‘Wow.’” Brandt, who officiated the games along with sophomore coach Michael Fredericks, said he expected the competition to get pretty intense, especially in the late going. He matched the players from the class of 2009 (Youngren, Jon Fisher, Daniel Murray and Brandon Dressler) on the White team who were seniors on his 2009 sectional champi-

wood, Alex Cady, Alex Elmore, and Nick Glubczynski.

The Storm’s field events will be a combination of youth and experience.

Jeremiah Blackert will be a jack of all trades in the jump events. Dale returns in the triple jump while the freshmen Hunter Schoff looks to make an immediate impact in the high jump. Taylor and Kody Church work the pole vault.

Storm coach Jeff Ohlson said the Storm has a lot of talent in throws.

Seniors Justin Buckman, Andrew Jacobs and Austin Sietter along with juniors Chase Pierce and Tyler Gonigam return to compete. They have all put in a lot of work to make them even better, Ohlson said. Junior Kegan Mooney and Freshmen Lee Eshelmen join the mix.

• The Storm hosted the BV Coed Triangular at the Storm track to kick off the outdoor season on Monday.

“Those two classes went at it pretty good in practice,” said Brandt, who utilized a 5-for-5 hockey line platoon for his 2009 squad which beat Peoria Manual 71-65 for the sectional championship.

The game did stay intense and close to the end with the White team prevailing 94-90.

As former teammates, hugs went around after the final horn sounded. Most of the players attended a postgame celebration sponsored by the PHS Boosters to rehash the game and talk about the good old days.

Everyone was making plans to play again next year.

“This was a lot of fun. I hope we do it next year,” said Dave Enbom (Class of ‘83).

Red Devils sweep Serena

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com The Hall Red Devils had the best of both worlds in Saturday’s doubleheader sweep over Serena in nonconference baseball action at Kirby Park, hitting and pitching.

The Red Devils smacked 13 hits to break open a 10-1 win in the first game.

Taggert Venegas and Trevor Urbanski (2 RBIs) led the Hall hit parade with three hits each. Zach Urbanski added two hits and two RBI. Pete Mautino allowed just on earned run and six hits while striking out six over six innings.

“Pete was very efficient and it was a good thing because it took us until about halfway through to get going offensively. We left guys on base early and as the game went on we were able to get them across,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said.

In the second game, Hall relied on the pitching of senior right-hander Austin Schmidt and Venegas in a 4-2 Hall winner. Schmitt went five innings for the win, scattering five hits while fanning five. Venegas pitched two innings for the save in a game Keegan said “offensively we didn’t show up.”

A.J. Gaeta went 2-3 with an RBI in game 2 and Miguel Villareal and Blake Moreno each drove in runs.

sacrifice fly by Shane Kruse scored first basemen Garet Zinke to give the Trojans a 2-1 victory.

Princeton had an opportunity to answer in the bottom half of the seventh with two outs and runner on second as shortstop/relief pitcher Jake Reinhardt made nice connection on a line drive but hit it directly at the right fielder to end the game.

The second game of the day was tied 1-1 after two innings for the second time of the day when the Trojans offense platted five runs in the third and fourth innings giving Mendota a 6-1 edge.

The scoring surge was highlighted by a twoout, bases loaded double which found the gap in right center by center fielder Evan Schultz that cleared the bases.

Princeton struggled at the plate with the starting pitcher of Spencer Evans, who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before first basemen Logan Wilde’s made connection with two outs, sending a sinking line drive to center field for the first hit of the game for the Tigers.

The Tigers used the momentum from Wilde’s single to chase Evans from the game and capitalized with two outs as the next two Tiger batters got on base, paving the way for two-run single to right field by third basemen Caleb Dickens which cut the Mendota lead in half at 6-3.

A fielder’s choice in the bottom of the seventh inning allowed starting pitcher Zach Friel to cross the plate, rounding out the scoring at 6-4.

“We’re so close to breaking loose, I really believe that. These guys if they could get one game that they really open it up like I know they can, they’ll start putting it together after they get a game like that,” Taylor said. “These guys have not played together as a team until this year, so I think once they get that confidence they will really start to click on all cylinders.”
