Bridging the gap Public comment ends for proposed SV Bridge replacement project

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has released public comments received following a public hearing held April 9 concerning the Route 89 bridge replacement in Spring Valley.

At the hearing, representatives of IDOT displayed maps and diagrams of the bridge project for the public to view. The purpose was to present the proposed scope of work, answer questions about the project, provide land acquisition information and receive public comments.

According to a letter sent out by IDOT, there 47 people registered at the hearing, and six written comments were received. A synopsis of the comments stated “Plans look good, everything looks great, good job; The plan seems minimally disruptive; The plan is very good for the area’s emergency services; Glad that the old bridge will be open during construction; Requested some of the displays.”

The comment period ended on April 24. IDOT will evaluate and consider comments as they finalize the preliminary engineering study. Following completion of the study, Phase 2 of the project will begin and produce plans and specifications for materials needed for construction. Also during this

The event also included music by DJ Gary Swanson, door prizes, a 50/50 drawing, Relay For Life Team bake sale and food booths. All proceeds will go to benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

grounds and government buildings. As far as the places not included in the prohibited list, like private businesses and homes, it’s up to the individual owner whether or not to display the sign, Root said.

Root said he’s a strong proponent of using the “no guns” signs. If the signs are posted, it’s very clear

that guns cannot be brought onto the property.

The signs can be downloaded through the Illinois State Police website.

The Princeton Police Department does not have the signs available.

On Monday, Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston confirmed residents can pick-up “no guns” stickers at his police department, free of charge.

While the department has now provided most

Spring Valley agencies and churches with the new stickers, many of the business owners in town got the new signs when they first became available earlier this year, Sangston said.

Teenagers having babies Teen pregnancy rates decreasing

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The number of teen pregnancies appear to be decreasing in Bureau County.

According to the 2014 County Health Rankings and Roadmaps data recently released, Bureau County had an average of 29 teen pregnancies per 1,000 females ages 15-19 during the 2012-14 years, compared to an average of 33 teen pregnancies per 1,000 females ages 15-19 in the 2010 year data information. The data for this measure came from the National Center for Health Statistics.

As part of President Barack Obama’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative (TPPI), the Center For Disease Control is partnering with the federal Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to reduce teenage pregnancy and address disparities in teen pregnancy and birth rates. The month of May has been designated National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month.

Locally, Princeton High School teacher Emily Happ is one area teacher who talks with students most every day about sex and teen pregnancy through her Child Development and Parenting classes. In both classes, she talks with students about sexual education, pregnancy and the consequences and responsibilities that come with unsafe sex and pregnancy.

‘We Can Change the World’ DePue students develop fuel source prototype

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — It’s the second year in a row that DePue’s Student Environmental Group has received national recognition in the Siemens’ “We Can Change the World Challenge.”

This year, the group created the “Thermonators” team and worked on a prototype that used spent plastics as a fuel source.

Team Thermonators included juniors Cassiday Mitchell and Jacob Aden and senior James Yundt.

The team’s mentor was Keith Garcia, high school science teacher at DePue. The idea for the project came shortly after classroom discussion about the unsettling amount of plastic bottles filling the landfills. The team devel-

Phase 3 includes onsite construction of the bridge.

oped a way to find the right amount of accelerant, mixed with the correct amount of plastic to create a heat source.

The project started small in a saucepan with one plastic bottle and a small flame and grew into a large steel pot, complete with a filtering chimney that held heat temperatures more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The students assured all project experiments were completed with a local firefighter on scene as a precaution, and there was only one major unexpected turn in the project, when their fire grew hot enough to melt their aluminum turkey roaster prototype.

While the project didn’t place in the challenge, it brought little discouragement to students, and perhaps urged them to think harder about their idea.

They are currently looking into submitting the project in the Google Science Fair.

The project is scheduled for improvement in the fiscal years of the 201520 Proposed Highway Improvement Program, subject to project readiness and funding availability. The anticipated project cost is about $25.1 million.

The new bridge is designed to provide a

“This type of project incorporates a lot of different areas. They’re getting math, the science, the writing and the reading all in one particular setting.”

Anna McKee The opportunity to build an idea that started on paper and eventually turn into a prototype that has the potential to “save the world” one day, was in itself a winning experience.

“With anything we do here, it’s always a learning experience. There’s always opportunities to do something new and perhaps change the world,” Aden said.

One thing that Yundt enjoyed about the project was its ability to incorporate it in everyday classroom studies.

The current truss bridge over the Illinois River opened to traffic in 1937.

About 5,650 vehicles cross the bridge daily.

Correction

In Saturday’s BCR it was reported incorrectly the last Spring Valley woman to sit on the council was Pam Albrecht. The correct name is Pam Argubright. The BCR regrets the error.

“It’s also a competitive challenge. You want to do good and show pride in not only your school, but the state,” he said.

As a first year member of the student environmental group, Mitchell found the challenge an eye-opener.

“It really opened me up to science and more than just classroom science. The project itself was very interesting to learn about and also the facts about plastic and harmful things because I didn’t know that before,” she said.

With the second year of the Siemens’ challenge completed, Garcia is already looking toward the next. He’s talking with freshmen and eighthgrade students to try to rev up the interest in joining next year’s group.

While he admits working on the project all year long can be a huge undertaking for students, it’s a great opportunity to learn real life skills and management tied into one.

“It’s not for everybody.

(The students) have to be self-starters, and I tell them coming in, ‘You have to be able to work sometimes with little or no direction,’” he said.

“Obviously they are top science students and are motivated and have an interest beyond the classroom. They’re working together as a team, and it’s things they will have to do in the real world — meeting dead-

lines, working with different objectives and goals.

That’s just an extremely valuable experience for them.”

Anna McKee, the schools’ community coordinator, was a big contributor to the student group. When they needed equipment or materials for the project, she was always willing to go searching for whatever the needs were at local shopping centers. She explained how the challenge was a great learning opportunity for the students.

“This type of project incorporates a lot of different areas. They’re getting math, the science, the writing and the reading all in one particular setting,” she said. “Sometimes that’s all it takes to catch the bug to make things not so boring.”

IVCC to hold free tutor training OGLESBY — The I-READ Adult Literacy Program at Illinois Valley Community College will conduct free volunteer tutor training sessions in June.

Volunteers must have a desire to work with adult learners and be willing to tutor two-to-three hours each week, but volunteers do not need to have teaching experience. Fifteen hours of training is required for all volunteer tutors. The four required training sessions will be from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

June 3, June 5, June 10 and June 12 in Room CTC-221 at IVCC. After completing the training, tutors are matched with learners age 17 or older who test below the ninth-grade level or who need to improve their English language skills.

Volunteers may choose

to tutor in one-on-one sessions at a local library or in an adult education classroom at IVCC or at an extension site within the IVCC district.

Free online tutor training is another option for volunteers whose schedules do not allow them to participate in the June training sessions.

For information on the I-READ program, go to http://www.ivcc.edu/ adulted.

To register for the training sessions, contact Angela Dunlap, I-READ program manager, at 815-224-0372 or Chris Warren, I-READ literacy specialist, at 815224-0345. This project is made possible by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds designated for literacy.

Teens

which they are following, Happ said.

As another deterrent, teens may also be more aware of the problems that come with teen pregnancy through watching certain television shows, like “Teen Mom,” Happ said.

“I think students understand the hardships those people (on the television show) go through and the reality of their choices,” Happ said. “I don’t think ‘Teen Mom’ glamorizes teen pregnancy much at all.”

Parents should watch these shows with their kids and have frequent and open conversations with them about sex and the choices they are facing, Happ added.

After learning about the local teen birth rate decreasing, Happ said she took the opportunity to discuss the new statistics with her students.

The students thought education in school was the biggest factor for the decline. They also thought seeing the reality of teen pregnancy on television shows and seeing their own parents and acquaintances struggle financially were also factors, she said.

“My students all seem to want to further their education, to live life to the fullest without regrets, to be able to afford nice things and achieve their goals. They now know that having a child now will not allow them to do this,” Happ said.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

From Page 1 Looking at possible reasons for the decline in teen birth rates, Happ said the numbers may be lower because schools are doing more in the area of health/sex education.

In years past, students would have a freshman health class, and that was all the information they received. Now they have more options, she said.

Some topics covered in her classes include financial readiness to having a child, social readiness and emotional readiness, as well as pregnancy concerns to both the mother and child, Happ said.

“My classes are an open, trusted climate where we can openly discuss abstinence and birth control and contraception options,” Happ said.

“They are more aware and educated on the success and failure rates of such contraceptives and myths and misconceptions.”

She and her students also discuss how to communicate with their significant others, before engaging in sexual intercourse, on their stance on sex and having kids, Happ said. As a group, they talk about life goals and how having a child could deter them from achieving their goals.

In addition to the more open discussions in schools, many teens are involved in local youth groups and have set standards for themselves

PRINCETON — On April 16, Honor Flights of the Quad Cities took five Bureau County Korean war veterans on flight No. 27.

The veterans included Richard Kapraun, Merle Moore, Pompeyo Florez, Donald Schwanke and Bruce Obenhaus.

The flight also included two guardians, Thomas Jagers and John Kapraun, both of Bureau County and Richard Frank of Putnam County.

The flight included a total of 162 passengers.

Obenhaus, who served in the Air Force from 1950-54, was available to retell his experience of the flight and trip to Washington, D.C. He said the flight took off at 7 a.m. and was just under two hours long.

Harder enters guilty pleas PRINCETON — A Kewanee man has been sentenced to two concurrent prison sentences after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 4 felony of aggravated driving while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) and the Class 4 felony of driving while license revoked (DWLR)/subsequent offense.

John J. Harder, 46, entered his guilty pleas on April 23 before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. In addition to serving two years concurrently in the Illinois Department of Corrections, Harder was ordered to pay fines, fees and costs totaling $1,607 by Jan. 16, 2015. He received credit for time served in custody from Jan. 26 to April 22.

Harder was represented in court by Bureau County Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecuting the case was Bureau County First Assistant State’s Attorney Anthony Sciuto.

On Jan. 26, the Princeton Police Department investigated a car stuck in a ditch. Harder was found in the driver’s seat with the vehicle running and showing obvious signs of alcohol intoxication. His driver’s license was revoked for a prior DUI conviction in 2006.

Harder was convicted of DUI in 1991 in Rock Island County and has 12 prior DWLR convictions. The prior DUI and DWLRs were Class A misdemeanors except for a DWLR in 2006 in Henry County, which was charged as a Class 4 felony.

Ballard gets jail, probation on drug charge

PRINCETON — A Princeton man has received county jail time and probation after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 4 felony of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, heroin.

Kirk P. Ballard, 28, entered his guilty plea before Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei. Ballard was placed on two years probation with the condition he serve two months in the Bureau County Jail on a work release basis; pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $1,582; and pay a $20 monthly probation fee. Ballard was also ordered to attend counseling at his own expense and submit to a random drug analysis at his own expense. He was also ordered to perform 100 hours of public service work.

Ballard was represented in court by Princeton attorney A. Randolph Comba. Prosecuting the case

was State’s Attorney Patrick Hermann.

In February 2010, the TRIDENT task force was conducting investigations into drug sales in Princeton. On Feb. 17, 2010, the task force had made arrangements for a confidential source to meet Ballard for the purchase of controlled substances. Ballard did meet with the confidential source and provided a substance to the confidential source. That substance was sent to the crime lab and determined to be 0.2 grams of heroin. Ballard was charged with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance on July 22, 2010, and an arrest warrant was issued. Ballard turned himself into authorities on Oct. 16, 2013. On April 16, 2014, a second count charging Ballard with unlawful possession of heroin was filed against him.

The delivery charge was dismissed.

This is Ballard’s first felony conviction.

Sampson gets jail time for stealing baby formula PRINCETON — An Aurora woman was ordered to serve 208 days in the Bureau County Jail after pleading guilty to the Class 3 felony of retail theft.

Tiffany N. Sampson, 22, entered her guilty plea to the felony charge on April 23 before Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich. In addition to the county jail time, she was placed on two and one-half years probation and ordered to pay restitution of $1,129 and a fine of $477 by Dec. 19.

Sampson was represented in court by Assistant Public Defender Eric May. Prosecuting the case was First Assistant State’s Attorney Anthony Sciuto.

On Dec. 23, 2013, the Princeton Police Department investigated the theft of merchandise at the Walmart

Supercenter store in Princeton. Video evidence from the store confirmed Sampson to be the same individual who had been arrested Jan. 2 by the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Department for retail theft at the Walmart Supercenter in Ottawa. The modus operandi was the same at both locations, where Sampson and a male co-defendant would enter a Walmart store, place canned baby formula in rubber totes and leave the store without paying for the merchandise. Both Sampson and the co-defendant admitted to having heroin addictions and stealing the merchandise to pay for heroin.

Sampson had a misdemeanor retail theft conviction in 2012 in DuPage County.

Anderson pleads guilty to retail theft PRINCETON — A Yorkville man has been sentenced in Bureau County Court to 30 months in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the Class 3 felony of retail theft.

Leroy G. Anderson, 42, entered his guilty plea on April 23 before Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich.

In addition to the prison sentence, Anderson was ordered to pay restitution of $1,129 and a fine of $477 within six months of his release from prison. Anderson received credit for time served from Jan. 10 to April 22.

Anderson was represented in court by Public Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecuting the case was First Assistant State’s Attorney Anthony Sciuto.

On Dec. 23, 2013, the Princeton Police Department

investigated the theft of merchandise at the Walmart Supercenter store in Princeton. Video evidence from the store confirmed Anderson to be the same individual who had been arrested Jan. 2 by the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Department for retail theft at the Walmart Supercenter in Ottawa. The modus operandi was the same at both locations, where Anderson and a codefendant would enter a Walmart store, place canned baby formula in rubber totes and leave the store without paying for the merchandise. Both Anderson and the co-defendant admitted to having heroin addictions and stealing the merchandise to pay for heroin.

Anderson has a 1992 burglary conviction in DuPage County and a 1993 felony theft conviction in Kendall County.

Petty gets 14-month prison sentence PRINCETON — A Macomb man has been sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 4 felony of driving while license revoked/subsequent offense.

Dustin R. Petty, 43, entered his guilty plea April 24 before Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich. In addition to a 14-month prison sentence, Petty was ordered to pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $322 within six months of his release from prison. Petty was given credit for time served from Sept. 13, 2013, to Jan. 21.

Petty was represented in court by Ottawa attorney Joe Navarro. Prosecuting the case was Bureau County First Assistant State’s Attorney Anthony Sciuto.

On July 23, 2013, Petty took, without authority, a 2010 Ford Explorer from a resident in Spring Valley.

The owner of the vehicle found the vehicle parked on

the westbound lane of Interstate 80, with Petty outside the vehicle and walking eastbound in the median. The vehicle owner contacted the Spring Valley Police and Illinois State Police who located Petty within an hour of his leaving the scene. Petty’s driver’s license was revoked for a DUI conviction in 2007 in Cook County, and he was previously convicted for driving while license revoked in 2009 in Cook County.

Petty was convicted of burglary in August 2013 in McDonough County and with aggravated fleeing and eluding police in August 2013 in Cook County. In 2009, he was convicted of possession of a motor vehicle in Will County. In 2014, he was convicted of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and criminal damage to state-supported county property in Cook County and possession of a controlled substance in Will County.

Police reports and possession of paraphernalia on Wolfer Industrial Spring Valley Police Drive near Route 89 at 9:27 on April 25. ​Accident

A vehicle driven by Iram L. Avila, 18, of Spring Valley collided with a parked car owned by Maribeth F. Tonelli, 60, of Spring Valley on West Third Street near Spalding Street at 3:49 p.m. April 29.

From the editor’s desk What a lovely weekend we had! I spent about 10 hours in the backyard on Saturday. On Sunday, every bone and muscle in my body hurt — and I’m not just talking about a little hurt. As I write this on Monday afternoon, I’ve already been digging in my purse for some Aleve, Tylenol ... anything. OK, it was the first time I was out in the yard for the season, but this is ridiculous. If you see me walking around like I’m a 100 years old, you’ll know why.

Nevertheless, it was beautiful in my backyard on Saturday. I worked alongside the squirrels and the rabbits and the birds ... oh my, the birds were singing. Something about being so close to nature has to make you feel good — even if you’re so Terri sore you can barely tie your shoes the next Simon day. We did get some vegetable plants in the ground— tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, and the high point of the day was when two neighborhood friends stopped by to chat. You gotta love spring!

••• This Sunday is Mother’s Day. My wish is for all ladies to have a great day, whether you are a mother or not.

Women of all walks of life influence not just children, but the world around them in so many positive ways.

What a great way to honor all women on this special day.

When you’re thinking about that special gift for this holiday, don’t forget to shop locally when you can.

Bureau County is full of great merchants, and when you shop locally, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

••• Last week, I had the opportunity to be part of a Bureau Valley’s strategic planning committee on public relations. It was really interesting, and anytime a school district or other organization asks for public input, I am impressed. Lots of BV District citizens have been engaged to offer their opinions, suggestions, and I applaud the district for wanting our input and insight.

I also attended the Princeton Chamber of Commerce annual meeting last Thursday, where a plethora of awards were given. Congratulations to Rex Conger, Chamber Member of the Year; Dawn Conerton and CPASA, Chamber Service Organization of the Year; Gina Nelson, Ambassador of the Year; and Julie McCutchan, Homestead Festival Parade grand marshal. Mike and Deb Vrana, who are part of the Homestead Committee, also gave an overview of this year’s Homestead Festival. It sounds like there will be a ton of great happenings at this year’s festival, and the BCR is proud to be able to bring information on those events to you.

Other cool stuff in the news that caught my eye this week: • Bureau Valley Foundation awarded more than $20,000 to improve and enhance students’ education.

• The Convoy for Cancer event, held in Ladd this past weekend, where all the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Thanks to Phil and Mary Ann Hocking for organizing this worthwhile event, and also thanks to those folks who participated.

• Ron Happach of Sheffield won the governor’s Volunteerism and Community Service Award for his volunteerism.

••• Thought for this week: • “I remember my mother’s prayers, and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.”

Abraham Lincoln.

• “Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.” William Makepeace Thackeray.

••• Thanks to all who participated in our Mommy and Me Contest.

••• It’s difficult to believe graduation is on the horizon. I applaud the efforts of this year’s graduates — whether it’s junior high, high school or college. I hope you are as proud of your accomplishments as those who love you are.

••• With spring finally in the air, I hope you’ll take some time to get outside and enjoy the weather ... and each other. Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly. Relax. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

On the street

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from your mom?

“My mom always taught me the importance of telling the truth and not to lie.”

Christie Kommenich, Ladd

“The most important lesson I learned was how to get by with very little.”

Dan Kommenich, Ladd

“My mom taught me the importance of taking care of your friends and family.”

Noreen Griffin, Ladd

“I learned to become active in my community, and that volunteerism is very important.”

Tim Martin, Ladd

“My mom has taught me the importance of behaving and following rules.”

Collin Schauer, Spring Valley

Letters THETO Editor It’s time to talk To the Editor, In June of 2010, Illinois Valley Community College representatives began approaching Putnam County and Marquis Energy LLC officials regarding mistakes that were made by county officials in 1. Inaccurately setting the partial year assessed value of the Marquis ethanol plant located in Putnam County, and 2. Incorrectly abating real estate taxes to be paid on the plant.

College officials also reached out to the administrator for the Bureau-Putnam County Enterprise Zone for assistance in resolving these matters. The college was unable to convince the parties to correct their mistakes. Therefore, in order to protect the college’s tax base and all other taxpayers, the college had no choice but to take legal action. Unfortunately, the legal action has resulted in significant costs to the college, Putnam County and Marquis Energy LLC. Since 2010, the college has continued seeking resolution by reaching out to Marquis Energy LLC and Putnam County officials. The college even went so far as to hire an expert to provide a fac-

tual appraisal of the plant showing its assessed value to be more than four times higher than what Marquis Energy LLC officials are contending.

In these financially uncertain times, when the state refuses to pay its fair share of the operating costs for community colleges and the burden is shifted to students and taxpayers, a $42 million difference in appraised value is substantial to IVCC — approximately $154,000 per year. When all property taxpayers do not pay their fair share, the burden is shifted to those of us who do — in Putnam County and across the college district.

The time has come to meet face to face with Marquis and Putnam County representatives in an effort to bring this dispute to closure. Their failure and refusal to do so is not fair to the district’s taxpayers or students.

Jerry Corcoran, IVCC president Oglesby

On the road to perdition?

To the Editor, Sacred places (churches) are permitted to serve, promote worship, piety and religion. The dedication of such a place belongs to the diocesan Bishop, basically. Sacred

places are desecrated by acts done in them which are gravely injurious and give scandal to the faithful. When a Bishop judges that these acts are so serious and so contrary to the sacred character of the church that worship may not be held there until harm is repaired by means of the penitential rite.

Also, sacred places lose their dedication or blessing, if they have been in great measure destroyed, or if they have been permanently made over to secular usage.

Churches have had some destruction, in some instances, to their structure, but insurance has been able to repair such edifices. Would the Vatican in Rome which may suffer damage, even major damage, be no longer a holy place of worship because of such damage?

In Pennsylvania, holy churches cannot be made secular any more.

Given what I just wrote, I’m asking Bishop Jenky not to have St. Thomas More Church in Dalzell “merged” with Holy Trinity in Cherry. We have worked hard to save St. Thomas More Church from closing. Send us a priest like you did to save St. Patrick’s in Sheffield.

Also, Bishop Jenky made a serious error in tearing down St. Bene-

dict’s Church in Ladd because under no circumstances should St. Benedict’s have been torn down given a Bishop’s criteria for its closing.

I have said for some time that priests should do what is sacred and let the laity handle the running of the church finances, repairs, etc.

An example of this was shown on Easter Sunday when Father Pat Fixsen held three Masses on that day. One at 7 a.m. at Holy Trinity in Cherry, another at 8:30 a.m. at St. Thomas More in Dalzell, and 10:30 a.m. the last mass was at St. Patrick’s in Arlington.

A priest can do this every day of the week.

This would eliminate priest shortages all over the diocese. It can be done and was done last Sunday.

As I look at the church closings in our area, I wonder if what Sister Agnes Sasagawa’s 5th statement on the Chastisement in Akita Japan states that Cardinals, Bishops and priests are on the road to perdition (Hell), and are taking many parishioners with them, is what is happening in the Diocese of Peoria?

I pray that Bishop Jenky is not on the road to perdition by closing so many churches in the diocese.

Carlo Olivero Dalzell

Anyone interested in the delivery of mental health services in Bureau and Putnam counties is invited to attend.

During the past year, the Bureau-Putnam Health Department — in collaboration with several community partners including both Perry Memorial Hospital and St. Margaret’s hospital — conducted surveys into community health needs in order to attempt to identify and begin to address the most pressing issues facing the health of local communities.

Mental Health service issues were identified as prioritized needs based on community input and health care data.

While looking for ways to further explore these issues in the area, the health department identified a program from

the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) called “The National Conversation on Mental Health” as a possible resource for ideas on how best to coordinate existing local mental health services and whether or where the need for additional services may be indicated.

In December 2013, the health department hosted a participatory webinar for the National Conversation at the Princeton Public Library.

Health department staff members were joined at the session by representatives of local mental health service providers, law enforcement, county

MANLIUS — The Princeton Tigresses rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat rival Bureau Valley 6-4 in Friday night softball action.

PHS coach Bob James said the Tigresses needed a win like this one after letting a 3-0 lead Thursday in the seventh inning against Orion slip away.

“Satisfied with the girls that they never quit, they came back and battled there at the end. Normally that’s what’s going against us. We lost eight in a row going into this so that’s a good character builder,” James said. “I challenged them on that (Thursday) night after our tough loss (against Orion) to have character and not quit, so I’m proud of them for that they were able to persevere through it.

They didn’t get down on each other and they came through.”

Alisa Holmbeck drew a bases on ball and Abby Jaques was hit by pitch before Julia Bauer’s bloop single to right field loaded the bases. First baseman Courtney Oeder followed with a two-run single to tie the game at 4.

With two outs and the bases loaded, an infield single by left fielder Devin Truedson pushed second baseman Mollie Bates across the plate for the go-ahead run.

“We’ve been getting quite a few hits; we just haven’t been able to string them together in the same innings, and we’re leav-

The Tigresses put one more run up on the board as center fielder Danielle Hughes walked with the bases loaded to give Princeton a two-run cushion and a 6-4 victory.

“We couldn’t quite get it closed out there at the end, but overall we’re pretty happy with the way we played. She’s a solid pitcher, and I thought

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College hosted a National Junior College Athletic Association volleyball signing a party Wednesday, bringing 10 recruits into the Eagles Nest.

Among the recruits signing NJCAA letters of intent included Rebecca Hult of Princeton High School, Vanessa Olivares of Hall High School; Morgan Bosnich of St. Bede Academy and Taylor Erjavsek, Putnam County High School.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be able

to continue playing and I think there is a lot of talent coming in so I’m excited to get started,” Bosnich said.

The recruiting list also includes Haley Duncan, LaSalle-Peru High School; Amy Rogowski, Marquette Academy; Emily Hackler, Ottawa High School; Morgan Sharisky and Julia Harcharik, Streator High School; and Mackenzie Kitterman, Galva High School.

Returning sophomores are Lindsay Gerding, formerly of Marquette, and Brianna Huss, L-P. “The talent and experience of this class will continue IVCC’s volleyball

success,” said coach Julie Sherbeyn who will depart IVCC this summer for a position at Eastern Wyoming College. “Their athleticism and competitive spirit will make a significant impact in the Arrowhead Conference and their leadership and academic ability will ensure great contributions to the campus.”

IVCC Athletic Director Tommy Canale said applications are being accepted for the volleyball position.

He hopes to have Sherbeyn’s successor named by the end of May. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com

Kewanee to field boys soccer

By Kevin Hieromymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

There will be a new boys soccer team on the horizon at Kewanee High School.

The Kewanee School Board has approved to start the program in 2016 by a 4-3 vote.

Currently, Kewanee offers football, golf and cross country in the fall for boys.

The Boilermakers will become the just the fourth school in the Three Rivers to field boys soccer, including Princeton, the Orion/Sherrard co-op and Riverdale.

A similar motion to start a girls soccer team was not seconded. Girls, may however, try out for the boys

Bureau Valley shortstop Darcy Kepner awaits the throw at second base as Princeton’s Abby Jaques slides in Friday evening at Manlius. The Tigresses rallied for four runs in the seventh inning for a 6-4 win.

Softball From Page 11 the board but we didn’t get some timely hitting there but we played pretty well,” BV coach Brian Humphrey said.

The Storm coach will use this loss to prepare his team for a possible first round regional rematch against the Tigresses.

“We got a good rivalry with these

guys. Players know each other well; coaches know each other well so it’s always fun to play them,” Humphrey said. “Good thing is we’re probably going to see them the first game of the regional (it) looks like and get another crack at them. So we’ll look forward to that.”

Princeton’s offensive attack was led by third baseman Madi Cain 2-3 with a double, single and a run scored while Bauer added an RBI on two-singles as she went 2-4.

The Storm were led by shortstop

Darcy Kepner who was 2-2 with two singles, two walks and a run scored and pitcher Irini Petros who was 1-1 with a double, two walks, a hit-bypitch and two runs scored.

• Notes: Princeton dropped both ends of a split doubleheader at home Saturday, falling to Seneca and Fieldcrest. The Tigresses traveled to Sherrard Monday and will host St. Bede Tuesday. BV traveled to Fulton Monday.
