Scam alert Never give out personal information on the phone to an unknown caller

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei has alerted residents of a new IRS scam, which involves scammers spoofing government agency phone numbers to make it look like local police stations are calling individuals requesting money.

The new scam has local police stations on alert for these callers claiming to be officers from government agencies.

On Friday, May 8, Ber-

nabei said a Peru resident reported someone claiming to be an IRS agent called the resident by name and stated he owed $39,000 in back taxes.

The caller identification on the phone showed IRS140. The resident was told he could take care of the problem by paying $3,900. The caller was then directed to give his cell phone number so the “IRS agent” could call him and direct him where to go and how to send the money. The resident knew it was a scam and

The nuts and bolts of peanut allergies Autumn’s story: Malden child wants people to understand what it is like living with a severe peanut allergy

By Shannon Serpette sserpette@bcrnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first story in a three-part series about peanut allergies, how children, parents and schools cope with this severe food allergy and the emotional toll it can take.

May 10-16 is Food Allergy Awareness Week.

MALDEN — Autumn Joiner of Malden, in many respects, is like any other 10-year-old girl. A quiet, smart, athletic girl who participates in basketball, volleyball, track and tumbling, her schedule is often full.

She has a close relationship with her family and friends, and has her heart set on becoming a nurse someday.

But unlike her peers, Autumn carries a burden no child should have to shoulder — she has a severe peanut allergy which could prove life threatening at any time. And so everywhere Autumn goes, she carries EpiPens housing the epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, that could potentially save her life if they were properly injected into her outer thigh in the minutes after exposure.

She wears a medical alert Year 169 No. 57 One Section - 16 Pages

bracelet to better protect herself in case an accidental peanut ingestion were to happen.

Autumn was 2 when her parents learned she had a peanut allergy.

“We found out at the allergist’s (office), thank goodness,” her mother, Mary Joiner, said. “I had never given her peanuts.”

She had other food allergies, including milk, eggs, shellfish. Unlike milk and egg allergies, which are often outgrown as a child ages, few children outgrow their peanut allergies, Mary said.

“She’s hit the point where they don’t think she’ll outgrow it,” Mary said.

Autumn’s food allergy isn’t her only condition — she also has eczema and asthma. With her persistent asthma, Autumn is in greater danger of having a severe reaction if she ingests peanuts.

Even trace amounts of peanut products can lead to a life-threatening episode. If a food containing peanuts is sliced with a knife that is later used, unwashed, to slice another food Autumn eats, she can react.

Reclamation project in Ladd involves local landmark

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

LADD — The skyline in Ladd has been changed forever.

As the Illinois Department of Natural Resources

continues to level out the old slag pile as part of a mine reclamation project, members of the community feel they are losing a bit of their heritage.

The slag pile, which once stood as high as 252 feet, has always been a

reminder of the booming industry that once drew people from all over the country and from overseas to establish the mining town.

Work on the Ladd mine began in 1888, and it produced 6,198,714 tons of

coal. Before the mine was abandoned in 1924, it was once considered the largest in northern Illinois, and at one time was worth at least $100,000.

After the mine was

Elsa helps students to let it go BV welcomes their new therapy dog

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

WYANET/BUDA — No need to be frozen in fear or stress kids, because Elsa has found her way to the Bureau Valley (BV) schools in Wyanet and Buda.

Elsa, the Wyanet and Buda facility therapy dog, is an emotional support animal meant to help ease the stress and difficulties students often face at school. With an emphasis on helping special needs children, Elsa will help as many BV students as she can.

With a wag of her tail and tilt of her head, Elsa greeted the students clamoring into the Bureau Valley Elementary assembly Thursday, May 7. Overjoyed at her many tricks and playful icebreaker tactics, the children couldn’t wait to walk by and meet her on their way back to class.

“Hi Elsa,” they chorused, as many of them

gave her a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ear on their way back to class.

As a special treat to celebrate Elsa’s first birthday, which was Sunday, May 3, principal Kristal LeRette treated her students to Scooby Snacks.

Having trained for the entire first year of her life, the pure-bred black Labrador has been well prepared for her new job.

Elsa has worked her way through the Quad Cities Canine Assistance Network (QCCAN) program with trainers Samantha Scherer, Allie Roehrenbeck, LeRette and QCCAN president and head trainer Hillary Plog.

Elsa was previously fostered at the homes of her QCCAN trainers, preparing 24 hours a day, seven days a week for her new job as the BV therapy dog.

However, Elsa moved to her permanent home with LeRette Thursday evening.

For the remainder of the 2014-2015 school year, Elsa will work half days as she transitions into full days beginning with the 2015-2016 school year.

Her days at school will be mostly occupied by visits with assigned stu-

Special meeting planned

PRINCETON — A special meeting of the Bureau County Board’s Zoning and EMA Com-

dents on a weekly basis.

During her free time, however, Elsa will see other students and make visits to BV classrooms. She will travel with LeRette between the Wyanet and Buda BV schools as a therapy dog for both facilities.

During the Wyanet assembly, Elsa received a standing ovation after she laid on her side as she was told, basically playing dead for her crowd. Her peek-a-boo trick filled the gymnasium with excited laughter as she ran around and poked her head between her trainer’s legs. The joy one of the young girls felt was evident when she sat on the ground with Elsa in her lap and the trainers asked Elsa to lean against the young student. These and other tricks demonstrated to the Bureau Valley students are proven therapy tactics to help students feel at ease with their new canine friend.

As members of the QCCAN, LeRette and Elsa will continue to work with Elsa’s team of trainers and with the QCCAN organization.

Ladd

been a big part of the town history.”

Aside from mining, the slag pile was once a favorite hangout place for the children in town. It served as a

place to sled, climb, meet other people or just be with friends.

“That’s just where everyone went to play,” Piacenti said.

While the rock wasn’t pleasant to fall on, it didn’t stop kids from climbing to the top of the pile.

“It was the bird’s-eye view of the town,” Piacenti said.

According to Piacenti’s research on the mining history in Ladd, the abandoned mine was sold by the Illinois Third Vein Coal Co. to Peter Bergandi, a former

miner, for $5,000 in 1925.

Years later, Ladd Construction Co. bought the property.

According to Piacenti, there were once big plans for the slag pile. Dom Palmeri of Ladd Construction Co. wanted to build a revolving night club at the top of the pile in 1972.

He had sketched plans and had the top of the dump leveled off. However, when the slate and shale rock proved to be too loose to support weight, the idea of the revolving club was abandoned.

Later on, in the ‘70s, school children planted black locust trees, which were the only tree able to grow on the tough shale and slate. The children planted the trees as part of a school project to keep the soil from eroding.

Department and that a warrant for tax fraud had been issued for his arrest.

The resident was again directed to provide his cell number and was told he would receive a call explaining how, where and how much to pay to bond out on the warrant.

The resident again knew this to be a scam and hung up. He then called the number back and discovered it was, in fact, the number to the police department.

According to Bernabei, the resident was never called by the Peru Police Department, nor does the department employ an officer Harris.

“The police department’s number had been spoofed by these individuals trying to commit a fraudulent activity,” he said.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root confirmed the area has reported IRS scams, when people received a call from some-

one claiming to be an IRS agent and demanding money.

However, he said he has not yet heard of anyone getting calls from a “spoof” number reading the same as Princeton Police Department.

“We have not had that happen, but we continue to tell people never, ever, ever send money, or given information on bank accounts or credit cards or any personal information over the

phone to people you don’t know,” he said.

Root also confirmed the police department will never call a home asking for any sort of money to bond out of a warrant.

“It’s unbelievable what people are able to do now with cell phones and technology to commit these fraudulent acts,” he said. “It’s hard to keep up with them, even the FBI has a tough time tracking individuals.”

Root said the biggest

red flag for these types of calls is the foreign accent. He said the best thing to do is spread the awareness and let people know scammers are now able to spoof individuals by using the government agency phone numbers.

If a resident does receive a call from a scammer, they are encouraged to report it to their local police station immediately.

According to Ladd village clerk Diana Chandler, the mine reclamation project includes taking approximately 80 feet off the top of the slag pile that will be spread out. Afterward, 2 to 3 feet of topsoil will added and seeded by Sept. 1. The three mine shafts will also be refilled.

Local historian Jim Piacenti of Ladd said as the reclamation project continues, many in Ladd feel a piece of their heritage is being taken down along with the shale and slate.

Allergies

Recognize life-threatening allergic reactions

From Page 1 “We’ve ended up in the E.R. from cross contamination,” Mary said. “It’s hard for people to understand.”

Because of her allergy, Autumn struggles with anxiety, which is sometimes caused by events most other children eagerly anticipate.

Kindergarten, a milestone for students, caused a fair amount of anxiety for Autumn once her classmates learned about her peanut allergy.

Some children would tell her they had peanuts when they didn’t just to get a reaction out of her.

“I was really little and I believed them, and I was really scared,” Autumn said.

A school field trip, for instance, requires strategic planning.

Autumn and Mary have decided she should not attend this year’s school field trip. The trip to a Peoria Chiefs’ baseball game is just too risky. Peanuts are a traditional snack at ball games and there is no way to ensure Autumn’s outing wouldn’t end with an EpiPen injection and a trip to the hospital, or worse.

While Autumn is happy her friends get to experience the excitement of a baseball game for their field trip, she would have loved to attend it too. Feelings of exclusion and isolation are common among children with peanut allergies, and Autumn struggles with them as well.

“I know one thing that bothers her in the lunch room: She sits at a peanut free table. She can’t sit with who she wants,” Mary said.

Mary understands the school officials are doing their best to protect Autumn, but wishes there was a way she could be like other children, sitting with her friends.

Birthday parties are another source of frustration. She has been excluded from many parties because of her allergy.

It hurts, but Mary understands why that happens.

“She’s a big responsibility to people,” she said. “I’m so grateful for every friend who invites her to birthday parties.”

Mary compensates for

Because of her peanut allergy, Autumn Joiner of Malden must carefully read the label for every food she eats. Since there is no cure for peanut allergies, strict avoidance of peanut products is Autumn’s best bet for dodging a severe reaction.

Autumn’s more limited social opportunities by inviting Autumn’s friends over to their house.

“We have a yardful,” Mary said.

A peanut allergy, like many serious medical conditions, can quickly show a person who their true friends are. Autumn has several good friends who watch out for her health when her safety could be compromised. For example, a simple bus ride to extracurricular activities can become a minefield when children around her start opening snacks.

“They eat on the bus when they aren’t supposed to,” Autumn said.

Fortunately, her friends often come to her rescue during this kind of situation.

“She has some older girls that really looked out for her this year,” Mary said.

While a few children don’t understand the fears their teasing can cause for Autumn, many children have great empathy for her situation. She’s had some friends who have expressed interest in learning how to administer an EpiPen injection in case they ever need to help her in an emergency situation.

“Kids just get it. Most kids really get it,” Mary said.

Parents, on the other hand, are the ones who

sometimes get upset because of the changes the school has made to accommodate her medical condition, Mary said.

At Malden, Autumn was the first student with a severe food allergy, according to Mary.

“It was a big learning experience (for the school),” Mary said. “The principal at Malden has been very understanding.”

According to Mary, Malden no longer allows homemade snacks for treats in class — many schools have implemented this rule as a way to better protect students. That has been a source of comfort for Autumn and her parents.

A simple label can let her know if she can eat the food or even be around the food without worrying.

But when long-established rules, such as allowing baked goods in the classroom, are changed, some parents get upset.

“Parents can really hold grudges. I’ve had things said to me,” Mary said. “If it was their child, they’d do the same thing.”

When someone is rude about Autumn’s medical condition, Mary tells her to ignore it and to remember the ones who have been supportive.

While there are many downsides to her condition, there may be some posi-

tives as well.

Because Autumn has had to be so focused on her health issues from such a young age, she said she will be more likely than others to avoid potentially dangerous behavior like drinking alcohol, smoking or dabbling with drugs.

Another upside to her condition: She has learned the power of compassion.

Her compassion is what drives her desire to become a nurse.

There is not currently a cure for peanut allergies.

Some studies involving ingesting minute amounts

Prompt epinephrine injection is key to survival What is anaphylaxis? A serious allergic reaction, often occurring minutes after ingesting or exposure to an allergen. Symptoms affecting the throat, lungs and heart are potentially life-threatening.

What to do when anaphylaxis strikes: When an anaphylactic reaction occurs, epinephrine, contained in devices such as EpiPens, must be immediately administered. 911 must be called right away for every anaphylactic reaction. The epinephrine buys a person time so they can get to the hospital in case more epinephrine or additional treatment is required.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis (a person can have one or any combination of symptoms): • Swelling of the lips, tongue or roof of the mouth.

• Runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery red eyes, itchy eyes, swollen eyes.

• Hives, rash, redness or flushing of the skin, itching or swelling of the skin.

• Abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea.

• Tightening of throat, problems swallowing, coughing, hoarseness, a loud, high-pitched sound when breathing in.

• Wheezing, chest pain, tightness, shortness of breath.

• An impending sense of doom, anxiety, panic.

• Low blood pressure, weak pulse, shock, pale blue color, dizziness or fainting, lethargy.

But they are risky, with some of the children suffering allergic reactions while trying to increase their tolerance, according to Mary.

From the editor’s desk I hope each and every one of you were able to celebrate a great Mother’s Day holiday. Whether you went out to eat, enjoyed a quiet day at home or had other plans throughout the weekend, it is my hope you made enough memories to last a lifetime.

All women — moms, grandmas, aunts, cousins, sisters, daughters, friends — deserve a special day, and I hope all the ladies in the area were made to feel as special as they are.

••• The final count is in! The Bureau County Republican’s Dear Soldier campaign, spearheaded by BCR Staff Writer Zita Henneberry, has officially come to a close. In February, Zita and the BCR asked area residents in Bureau, Putnam and a small porTerri Simon tion of LaSalle counties to help us honor military personnel overseas and abroad, as well as our nation’s veterans, by writing letters — or for our younger residents, drawing pictures — to our military heroes.

When Zita first came to me with her idea, I immediately thought it was a great one, however, I was a bit skeptical on the number of actual letters/drawings we would receive. Wow! Was I wrong!

The actual Dear Soldier campaign ended the first part of April, but it took us quite a while to collect all the “mailboxes” scattered around the Illinois Valley. Zita has been counting all the letters and drawings for quite some time, and we finally have a total ... I am proud to say we received 2,019 letters and drawings from the wonderful people — adults and children alike — in the Illinois Valley. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

All of the items we received will be sent to the California-based Operation Gratitude, which will send your letters/drawings to military personnel and veterans. I’m imagining the time you took to write your letter will create a host of smiles from our nation’s heroes.

I’d also like to thank Illinois Valley Container in Peru, MTM Recognition in Princeton and Princeton Pony Mailbox who graciously donated boxes, which we turned into mailboxes for your letters and drawings. I need to tell you too, that many, many area educators took the opportunity to use this campaign as an educational tool in their classrooms — we had hundreds of letters from students throughout the area. Thanks to our area teachers for working this project into their curriculum. Also, a big thanks to Sheri Henneberry, Zita’s proud mom, who donated signage to help promote the effort. And also huge accolades to the staff at the BCR, who worked as a team to help deliver and collect our Dear Soldier mailboxes.

If you see Zita out and about, please give her a well-deserved pat on the back. As a relatively new staff member, she took this project and ran with it. GREAT JOB, EVERYONE! ••• Let us know what your town/organization is doing to celebration Memorial Day, email services to news@ bcrnews.com by Friday, May 15. Be sure to include the date, time, location and information about the service as well as a contact in case we have any questions.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know an individual or a business who delivers great customer service? If so, send me an email telling me about your experience, and I’ll publish it in this column. You can reach me at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

I had a great customer service experience this week.

I ran through the drive-through window at Culver’s in Princeton to get a cold drink. A young girl by the name of Kennedy took my order and ultimately my money at the window. It was a simple transaction, but I have to tell you, Kennedy greeted me with a genuine smile. I even mentioned to her how happy she looked, and she smiled bigger. I know it seems like a small thing, but I left that drive-through window feeling happy myself — smiling is contagious. Thanks, Kennedy!

Other Kudos I have recently received: • Don said, “My Kudos go to the people at the new Ace store (in Princeton). They went out of their way to help me.”

• Jaimie said, “Kudos to the clerks at TSC (Princeton).

They are so helpful.”

••• I hope you have a great week. Take time to (literally) smell the flowers. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day. What do you think about how this country treats its police officers?

“I believe that police officers are treated differently by various age groups.”

Abbie Cochran, Princeton

“I believe that law enforcement officers in our country deserve respect, but unfortunately don’t always receive it. They risk their own safety every day to protect us, and make our communities a better place.”

Audrey Schillaci, Princeton

“I think in general that police officers are respected yet we only hear of negative incidents.

Their heroism is often ignored.”

Kelly Morris, Princeton

“I feel for the most part our country respects our police. Unfortunately the media has put them in a bad light with the unrest in the metropolitan areas.”

Tamara Workman, Tiskilwa

“I don’t feel that police officers are given enough respect. Police officers are human beings that sometimes make mistakes, but they are forced to make decisions on our behalf in a blink of an eye.

We are fortunate to have them there for us.”

Gary Hanna, Princeton

Local government units trying to become less accountable, less transparent to taxpayers As state government scurries to fill a projected $8 billion deficit in the 2016 fiscal year budget, it would seem to make sense to move beyond successful compromises and proven solutions already in place and instead focus on issues that truly have a significant impact on the state’s finances.

At least you would think so given the seriousness of the fiscal crisis.

But that’s not the case with some elected officials and local government lobbyists that represent the more than 7,000 taxpayer funded units of government in Illinois.

Behind-the-scenes efforts are currently taking place that would reduce their obligation of accountability and transparency to taxpayers, all under the guise of the state’s financial crisis. It’s a “smoke-andmirrors” attempt by local governments at a time of fiscal crisis where Illinois taxpayers would end up on the losing end.

One successful compromise and proven solution that is now in its fifth year of operation is the PublicNoticeIllinois (PNI) website, or www.publicnoticeillinois.com. PNI is a centralized, aggregated website for all public notices from the state of Illinois, units of local government, and the Illinois court system.

It’s a free-access website that is updated daily. It’s an example of a proven, successful public-private partnership that is already saving taxpayers money and should be supported by elected officials at all levels of government.

Public notices, or legal notices as they are often referred to, are a fundamental component in the foundation of our democracy and of our legal system. For more than 200 years, newspapers have been paid to print public notices and to serve as the critically important independent third-party between units of local government and taxpayers, and have functioned as the official

Dennis DeRossett COMMENTARY

notification system of our court system. Notice of publication in newspapers provides the proven and necessary verification, certification and archiving solution that ensure individuals and taxpayers rights are protected and preserved.

Frankly, it’s a process that has worked so well and for so long that those wanting to eliminate it or change to another process rarely consider the chaos and disruption to government bodies and to the court system that would take place without this proper verification, certification and archiving of public notices and notices of the courts.

PNI was created by state law in 2011 and was approved unanimously by both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly. Yes, unanimously. Key components of the law called for the creation of a centralized website for public notices that would be managed by Illinois newspapers. It requires newspapers to upload all notices to PNI after the notices appear in print. All of this is done at no additional cost to government. No taxpayer money goes towards supporting or managing the public notice website.

With each new session of the Illinois General Assembly, local government lobbyists — whose paychecks are funded largely by your tax dollars — repeatedly push bills to eliminate public notices or remove them from newspapers and PNI in favor of their own individual websites. These bills rarely make it out of committee because, frankly, state lawmakers understand that forcing citizens to attempt to locate notices across 7,000 websites

doesn’t make sense. (Actually, it would be about 4,000 websites as many units of local government do not yet have a website.)

Such legislation was introduced and failed again earlier this session.

However, local government groups are now using behind the scenes tactics to remove public notices from print and from PNI and, instead, have the notices placed on their individual websites. But, this time they have a new twist: They are claiming that having to be accountable and transparent through the current public notice process is an “unfunded mandate” and they want to do away with it.

The simple fact is this issue is not about money, it’s about reducing transparency and accountability to the taxpayers.

Every year Illinois citizens dutifully fulfill their obligation of paying many types and amounts of taxes to support these thousands of local government units throughout the state. Each of these units has an annual operating budget that ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars. Taxpayer dollars, that is.

It’s not at all about “saving the taxpayers money” because that has already been done successfully through the 2011 legislation and PNI. Local governments will still try to sell it that way, however. Local government officials should focus on the big-impact issues, allow the proven public notice solution in our state to keep on working, and not spend so much time and taxpayer dollars on how to be less accountable and less transparent.

All tickets must be reserved in advance by calling 815-875-2787 or 309-872-3503.

General Federation of Women’s Clubs celebrates 125 years PRINCETON — The General Federation of Women’s Clubs, an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service, celebrated its 125th anniversary on April 24, the organization’s Federation Day. On April 23, Congressman Marsha Blackburn made a statement on the floor of the House honoring GFWC’s history of service to communities throughout the country.

“What a grand day for GFWC to be honored,” said GFWC International President Babs J. Condon.

“Each year on this day, our members celebrate the history of our organization and the impact we have made on our world.”

Condon currently serves as GFWC’s 50th international president.

To mark GFWC’s 125th anniversary, state federa-

tions sought and received proclamations from their states’ governors and mayors, proclaiming April 24 GFWC Day, in recognition of the often unheralded work club women contribute to their communities.

The organization produced a commemorative 125th anniversary stamp and a series of 125 facts shared were shared daily through social media in the 125 days leading up to April 24. The celebration will culminate at the GFWC’s annual convention in Memphis, Tenn., from June 13 to 15.

GFWC’s Signature Project is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention. It also focuses heavily on veterans’ issues and child advocacy, among a host of other programs.

GFWC partners include Canine Companions for Independence, Easter Seals, The Heart Truth, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY), Inside

Knowledge, The Kettering Foundation, March of Dimes, Prevent Child Abuse America, Sew Much Comfort, UNICEF, the U.N. Foundation’s Shot Life campaign and USO. The seeds for GFWC’s existence were sown in New York in 1868 when journalist and founder Jane Cunningham Croly was denied entry because of her gender to a press club dinner honoring author Charles Dickens, leading her to form a woman’s club, Sorosis. On April 24, 1890, 63 clubs officially formed the General Federation of Women’s Club by ratifying the GFWC constitution.

The Princeton Junior Woman’s Club, founded in 1971, and the Woman’s Club of Princeton are both GFWC-affiliated clubs.

Several of the local members serve or have served on GFWC district, state, regional and international leadership positions.

Young Eagles Flight Rally scheduled PERU — Area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies for free from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 30, as the Illinois Valley Flying Club, along with Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 129 and the Civil Air Patrol, host a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru.

The rally is part of the EAA Aviation Foundation’s Young Eagles Program, created to get more young people interested in aviation. Volunteer pilots have provided airplane rides to more than 1.9 million young people since its inception in 1992.

“Giving the free plane rides to these young people is as much fun for us as pilots as it is for the kids,” said Chuck Studer,

spokesman for the event.

“We look at it as giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.

When we see some of these young people come back a few years later and learn to fly, either as the beginning of a career, or just for fun, that’s pretty exciting.”

Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes, allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.

After the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle.

Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display

at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wis. The logbook, as well as additional information about Young Eagles, is also accessible on the Internet at www.youngeagles.com.

ERIE — Regan Weidner is back, and so is the Bureau Valley girls track and field team.

Weidner’s legs are finally healthy, and they are carrying her around the track faster than ever. Her emergence in her senior year helped the Storm claim the conference title at the Three Rivers Conference meet Friday, May 8, at Wayne Hein Field in Erie.

“It’s incredible,” Weidner said of the Storm’s first conference crown since 2008. “In past years, we’d be racing for second place, with (Erie-Prophetstown) always in the lead.

This year it was different, because we felt we had a chance all along.”

Bureau Valley won with a commanding 145 points. The Panthers finished second with 125.

Weidner played an important role in the Storm’s success. The strong distance runner placed second in the 1600 meters, and won the 3200 (11:49.11). She also helped out in an event she rarely competes in, but Bureau Valley coach Dale Donner needed her in the 4x800 relay, as the Storm wanted to keep pace with the Panthers.

“Our goal from the start of the season was to win conference,” Donner said.

“E-P’s got a great team, and (Rachel) Cobert is a stud. Cobert can certainly run, and we needed Regan

PERU — The Hall Red Devils recorded a pivotal 4-1 win over the St. Bede Bruins Saturday, May 9, at the academy in boys varsity baseball to pull into a 9-2 tie with St. Bede atop the standings of the Big Rivers East Conference.

Hall was to play Newman Monday and St. Bede was scheduled to travel to Kewanee in the final conference games.

St. Bede grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning when Matt Szczepaniak singled to right, moved to second base on a Nick Plankenhorn sacrifice bunt, then eventually scored on a Hall infield error.

Come the bottom of the fifth inning, Hall made its move, offensively, essentially putting the game away with a four-run outburst.

Tyler Taber doubled to right center, Ty Rybarczyk singled to right, then A.J. Gaeta (reached on an infield error), Adam Sangston (single to left), Jake Merkel (double to deep left) and Brant Vanaman (sacrifice bunt) followed with four straight RBIs, one apiece, as the Red Devils took a 4-1 lead.

“Two concerns I have today were our defense was suspect and our approach at the plate,” said St. Bede coach Bill Booker. “I’ve preached that all season long.

We just haven’t hit the ball with any authority recently. We’ve got to get better at that, and we’ve got to get better at it quickly. They were better than us today.”

Vanaman pitched four innings plus one batter

Rybarczyk relieved Vanaman on the hill, going the final three innings to earn the save.

Rybarczyk allowed only one base-hit – a bloop infield single by Sam Halm leading off the bottom of the seventh – walked none and struck out two.

“Very pleased with the way our two guys threw,” said Hall coach Tom Keegan. “Brant, I thought, was very competitive, and Ty coming in and shutting it down.”

Matt Szczepaniak took the loss for St. Bede, going four and 1/3 innings, yielding four runs (two earned) on six hits, walking none, hitting two batters and striking out four.

Gabe Braboy pitched the final two and 2/3 innings for the Bruins, shutting out the Red Devils on a pair of base hits.

“We go win the next one, then there’s a third game for first round of the regional and conference champion, to be honest with you. We’ll take a look at it that way,”

record in the 1600 that she set as a freshman. It marked a nearly four-year stretch where she was consistently working back to her freshman year times, after injuries wiped out her sophomore and junior track seasons.

“It’s such a good feeling,” Weidner said. “It’s a relief.

When I did that, it was comforting, because I finally felt like I was back to my old self again.”

Conference champs for the Storm included Lindsey Hoffert (long jump, 16-11), Sydney Lebahn (discus, 108-3) and the 4x100 relay (52.46) of Haley Devoss, Tiana Kennedy, Marissa Mungia and Sabrina Webb.

Hoffert also placed second in the 200 (27.0) and fourth in the 100 (13.41). Other top place-finishers for the Storm were Haley Weidner, third in the 3200 (12:25.36) and fourth in the 1600 (5:41.14); Addison Moreland, second in the triple jump (32-5 3/4) and third in the long jump (16-0 1/2); Lebahn, fourth in the shot (35-2 1/2); and Tiana Kennedy, third in the 100 (13.4), fourth in the 400 (1:02.71) and fifth in the 200 (27.92).

Amboy’s Erika Zimmerlein also had a strong meet coming off an injury. The Clippers junior suffered an injury to her left quad that kept her off the track for about a month. She missed the entire month of April, and didn’t look hampered on Friday as she won the 100 and 200.

She took the 100 in 13.11, and was clocked at 26.73 in the 200, holding off E-P’s Cobert (13.34)

The Clippers won the 4x200 (1:49.77) and took second in the 4x100 (52.47). Erin Hosto kicked in third-place votes for Amboy in the 800 (2:29.38) and Megan Grady finished second in the 3200 (11:55.41) and fifth in the 1600 (5:42.9).

She also won the 100 hurdles in 16.52.

Also for the Lady Devils. freshman Kaelyn Hamelle placed third in long jump (3111) and Jenna Lusietto was third

in the high jump (4-10). Hall also placed fourth in the 4x400 and 4x800 relays as did Tanya Acamovic in the 300 hurdles.

Princeton’s Colbi Schertz broke her own school record to win the shot put with a toss of 39-5. Teammate Taylor Clark finished second in the discus with a season best 107-6 while Taylor Weatherington landed fifth in the long jump (14-5 3/4) and triple jump (30-8 1/2).

“I was very pleased with our performances as witnessed by a good number of personal or season bests. Of course, Colbi’s shot put was tremendous, breaking her own record by almost two feet,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

Top finisher for St. Bede was Zoe Postula, who placed fourth in the high jump (4-10) and fifth in the 100 hurdles (17.81).

Baseball From Page 9 Booker said, when asked about a possible 10-2 tie for the conference title and also alluding to the two teams’ pairing in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs.

• Hall made it a two-win day Saturday, coming back late to beat the Mendota Trojans, 11-8, in the day’s second game.

The Red Devils shocked the Trojans with a five-run bottom of the sixth inning to make it a perfect 2-0 Saturday experience at the academy for nearby Hall, which improved to 20-6.

“It seemed like it came one hit right after another,” Keegan said. “We really hadn’t sustained a whole lot of big innings the last couple of games, so it was nice to get those in the sixth, bring in Ty to shut the door, and go home.”

Rybarczyk earned his second save of the day, pitching a scoreless seventh inning, as Hall relief pitcher Julian Bar-

roso got the mound victory.

Hall banged out 13 base hits, as Jake Merkel led the way, going 3-for-4 with a double and four RBIs, to help offset five Red Devils errors on defense.

“Our hitting overcame our defense there in the middle innings,” said Keegan. “We, for the most part, have been able to stay away from those Little League innings this season. But what we saw was pretty sickening. That’s something we’re going to have kind of clean up a little bit here going into post-season. Fortunately, our sticks were able to get us through it.”

• The Trojans (19-7) gained a split on the day by dropping the Bruins, 8-2, in the day’s third and final game.

Jarret Olson went 2-for-3 with both of his team’s RBIs, a sixth inning run-scoring single to center field, plating Matt Szczepaniak, followed by a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the seventh.
