Focusing on solid solutions Bureau Valley looks at building/maintenance needs

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — During a special meeting held Monday, May 11, the Bureau Valley School Board reviewed the condition and needs of each building within the district.

While the board continues to talk about its facilities study and a possible new building configuration in the district,

it is still dealing with the several current building maintenance issues — some that need to be addressed before the next school year.

Bureau Valley Assistant Superintendent Gavin Sronce talked about what still has to be done to each building and the projects already underway.

Starting with BV South in Buda, Sronce said there are still several things that need to happen in both towers.

Currently, Entec, the company the district has a maintenance contract with, is working on the big issue in the towers, which is the HVAC system.

As previously reported in the Bureau County Republican, the return air heating system utilized in the open stairwell and common hallways was creating a fire hazard in the building.

Sronce said they are working to reroute the ventilation system. He said the regional office of education requested the district is no longer allowed to use the old air system.

Sronce to leave Bureau Valley At the special board meeting held Monday, May 11, the board approved the resignation of Bureau Valley Assistant Superintendent Gavin Sronce.

Sronce will be leaving the district at the end of the school year. He has accepted a superintendent position in another district.

Board President Rick Cernovich noted Sronce has been really appreciated at Bureau Valley and felt he did a tremendous job.

“We’re just happy that he was able to find a superintendent’s job as that was his goal,” Cernovich said. “We feel he saved the district more money than we spent on him. We’re really sorry to see him go, and we wish him good luck.”

Sronce was hired as assistant superintendent for Bureau Valley in February 2014, and began his duties on July 1.

The building has also gotten a new fire system, which includes sensors that will shut down the

furnace if there is a fire, and sensors that will immediately send a call to the fire department if

the fire alarm is activated.

Soakin’ up the sun ...

While some consider the Memorial Day holiday the unofficial beginning of summer, these turtles got a jump on their sunbathing. BCR Correspondent Photographer Mike Vaughn captured these turtles in the back waters of the Mississippi River, where there’s little to no current. The turtles, which scare easily, didn’t seem to mind the click of Vaughn’s camera shutter, as he captured them on this log sunning themselves.

Giving music a boost at PHS

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A new Princeton club is looking to give the Princeton High School (PHS) music program a little boost.

“It’s no secret that Illinois is suffering financially. Music programs are some of the first programs cut to save money.

I want strong parental and community support for our high school to do whatever possible to keep

the program alive and vibrant,” said new PHS Music Boosters Club President Lori Biggs.

Biggs explained this club is simply trying to do a little extra to help enhance the music program.

“In no way is this to replace school funding,” she added.

Other communities much like Princeton have started clubs like this one, said Biggs. In those areas the music boosters clubs have been a tremendous asset, as this club hopes to

be for PHS. “I feel that Princeton has a very strong commitment to the fine arts, said Biggs.

Festival 56, the Prairie Arts Center, the Coffeehouse, the Community band and choir are all excellent examples, she said.

“That’s amazing for such a small town,” said Biggs.

She explained the PHS club only intends to further that commitment.

According to the PHS Boosters Club’s mission statement, “The mission

of the Princeton High School Music Boosters is to enhance, foster and assist in the musical education of the PHS students. Our dedicated music students liven up life not only at PHS’ rallies and games, but in the community with concerts, parades and recitals. They are part of what makes PHS special!”

In their efforts to enhance the program, the PHS Music Boosters Club is in the works of organizing its first ever fundraiser.

Saturday, June 6, the club will gather with supporters in the Sullivan’s parking lot for an 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. cook-out.

Booster members discussed the possibility of a pre-order delivery service for large orders the day of the cookout. Members agreed with high school students participating and available to drive, any orders made the day before could be delivered that Saturday.

Guided in the needs of the program by music

teacher Brandon Crawford, the club will direct all the proceeds toward enhancing the needs of the PHS music program.

Over time, the money raised and saved can be accessed through the club to procure program essentials.

One example of a future booster club goal, said Biggs, is to eventually replace the PHS choir robes. However, that specific goal, she said, may

Bureau County native performs at Kennedy Center Ringenberg has performed since the late 1980s Area native Jason Ringenberg performed March 9-10 at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., with his band, Jason and the Scorchers, and the Bowen-McCauley Dance Co. The dance group had created an entire program of choreography using Ringenberg’s songs. They performed the program while Ringenberg and the band played the songs live on the Kennedy Center stage. The Kennedy Cen-

ter is considered one of the premier performance venues in the world.

The program was a big critical and commercial success. Both shows were sold out and earned excellent reviews. The Washington Post called it “a truly original creation that did justice to the great legacy of Jason and the Scorchers.”

Ringenberg is the son of Marvin (deceased) and Betty Ringenberg of rural Sheffield. He graduated

from Buda-Western in 1977 and began his music career in Bureau County singing at parties and school events. He moved to Nashville, Tenn., in 1981 and formed Jason and the Scorchers. Rolling Stone magazine called them “one of the great rock bands of the ‘80s.”

They have released 10 albums and have toured the world several times.

Ringenberg also has a children’s music character called Farmer Jason which is based on his Sheffield farming roots.

With Farmer Jason he has won an Emmy Award and four Emmy nominations

for his PBS video program called, “It’s a Farmer Jason.” It is the most commercially successful creation of this 35-year career. This spring he is doing shows as Farmer Jason in the U.S. then will tour England and Scotland this July with Jason and the Scorchers.

He still maintains deep roots in Bureau County and visits often. He once said in an interview: “I am a very proud son of Bureau County, Illinois.

It will always hold a very special place in my heart.

I love the prairie and the wonderful folks who call it home.”

Helping the stories to survive Logan eighth-graders research Princeton roots

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Logan Junior High School eighth-graders just finished up with a unique class project that got them digging up all sorts of history on the buildings that make up our community.

The project was assigned by social studies teacher David Gray.

Working in groups, students selected a building around the Princeton area — whether it be a church, business or historical home.

Students had to produce an essay on the history of the building and take photos of the building to help illustrate its story and architecture.

Students then had to take the information gathered and turn it into a slide show, which they presented in class last week.

In the course of the project, students gathered information at the

local library, from online sources, and some students even got the opportunity to sit down and talk with the building owners to get a better grasp on the building’s history.

This is the first year Gray assigned this sort of project to his students.

“It actually started with trying to find new ways to incorporate technology into the class. I wanted the students to use their cell phones for something constructive and academic,” he said.

The project went through many revisions, he said, but after coming across the tourism brochures published by the library and historical society, the final idea came to him.

“I constructed the list of buildings from the brochures because I knew the students would at least be able to find some information about these structures,” he said.

Just some of the buildings students researched

A few tidbits of research ...

• The Allstate Insurance Building on the northend of Princeton’s Main Street was originally constructed to support the women’s movement in the early 1900s.

• There was a men’s club that met in the upstairs of the “White House,” also known as the previous Kirby-Henning Pharmacy. It was noted the men used the bay windows to “scout for police and women.”

• There was an opera house above where Maria’s II stands today. include Guys and Gals, Apollo Theater, Bruce’s Jewelers, Flour House Bakery, Bureau County Courthouse, the Bowen home in Tiskilwa, St. Louis Catholic Church and Hampshire Colony Church.

Gray said students got excited about exploring their own environment, rather than learning through the work and efforts of others.

“The students did the digging and the learning.

It’s a powerful idea when one discovered that they had the ability to seek and find answers to questions on their own,” he said.

“I believe by doing this

project the students have gained some appreciation for their local surroundings, and what it took to build this town.”

He also pointed out in this sort of project, the research was authentic.

“Looking at old newspapers and first-hand documents is a more valuable lesson then just having Google do all the work,” he said. “I wanted students to understand why history is important.

Many of our local stories are lost forever, but with work like these students just did, hopefully many stories can survive.”

New administrator at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

LASALLE — The Illinois Veterans’ Home of LaSalle has welcomed aboard its new Administrator Sherri Whitmer of Princeton.

“We are very pleased that Sherri Whitmer is joining our team and look forward to the leadership she will provide at our LaSalle Veterans’ Home,” said Army veteran and Director Erica Jeffries. “Her track record of excellence, expertise and proven record of accomplishment equip her well to lead our staff at LaSalle in providing the highest quality of care for our veteran residents.”

Whitmer is joining the Illinois Department of

Veterans’ Affairs (IDVA) with nearly 20 years of experience as a human services case worker for the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS).

As a 2009 graduate of the University of Phoenix, Whitmer holds her Illinois nursing home administrator license.

“My goal is, and it has been any place I’ve ever worked, is to just make it the best place it can be and that I can touch the veterans as much as they touch me,” said Whitmer.

“When I work in a community, I always hope to give back to them to thank them for what they’ve done for our country.”

After working in the field for some time, Whitmer said she felt the calling to return to school for

her administrator license.

“I just love working with seniors in general,” said Whitmer.

Whitmer’s past work with veterans has lead her to feel drawn toward this position.

While Whitmer started in her administrator position Monday, May 4, she did not take over the full responsibilities until recently. As the administrator, said Whitmer, she will be working on a personal and administrative basis with both the veterans and facility staff. Whitmer is looking forward to her work in the day-to-day operations and bringing her experience and fresh ideas to the facility.

The Illinois Veterans’ Home of LaSalle provides care and nursing services

for a total of 200 residents, including 40 positions available in their special needs programs. As an Illinois Veterans Home, the facility and their services are inspected by both the Illinois Department of Public Health and by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center of Jurisdiction.

According to Whitmer the great facility and team already in place has helped to make the transition as smooth as possible. She encouraged anyone to come visit with the veterans and to tour the facility.

“I think when you look at the veterans you can’t help but say ‘thank you’ to them,” Whitmer said.

From Page 1 DeWaele said BV South is a top priority in getting fixed.

“There are still some incredible decisions the board will have to make as far as looking at the towers and HVAC system,” said Sronce. “They are operating; they are safe, however going forward at status quo will not cut it.”

At BV North, there are a lot of piping issues with the heating system, which has caused problems with delivering proper heating to classrooms this past winter.

“It’s never the boilers.

It’s always the piping and control systems,” DeWaele said.

It’s a project that will be worked on during the upcoming summer months. Sronce said the rough cost of the project could be around $200,000.

The board discussed the possibility of installing individual heating systems in each classroom. The cost of that project was estimated to be about $3,000 for about 25 rooms.

“That’s not labor included, just material,”

PHS band From Page 1 take some time to collect for.

If interested in donating or joining, anyone should feel free to contact the club through any of the participating club members or Crawford.

Board President Lori Biggs, Vice President Ben Atkinson, Secretary Linnea Campbell and Treasurer Phyllis Miller along with all other club participants said they would be happy to help anyone interested in whatever way they could.

Sronce said.

Also at BV North, an outdoor freezer will need to be replaced this summer at a cost between $15,000 to $20,000, according to Sronce.

At the high school, a water heater in the cafeteria needs to be replaced, which will cost around $15,000.

“It’s continuous leaking. We cannot find a way to mitigate the leakage. We have to have it,” Sronce said.

At BV Wyanet, the building has the worst roof in the district, according to DeWaele.

It has three different types of roofing, and it’s leaking. Also there is some landscaping issues outside and flooring issues in the inside of the building.

DeWaele said every building is prone to maintenance.

“It’s a constant issue with every building we have,” he said. “It’s an ongoing thing no matter what we do.”

DeWaele said the Band-aids haven’t been put on a lot of the issues this past year, as the focus has now turned to coming up with solid solutions.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Issuance of a Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit LCN Closers - Division of Schlage Lock Company in Princeton LCN Closers - Division of Schlage Lock Company LLC has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) regulating air emissions from the surface coating and metal finishing process at its facility located at 121 West Railroad Avenue in Princeton. The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.

The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit.

Comments must be postmarked by midnight June 18, 2015. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian.hawkins@illinois.gov.

The repositories for these documents and the application are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 700 E. Norris Drive in Ottawa, 815/433-7124 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). The draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ ilonline.html. Copies of the documents may also be obtained upon request to the contact listed above.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits.

A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to nonmajor levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA.

Publisher

Editor

From the editor’s desk As valued readers of the Bureau County Republican, I’d like to chat with you for a few minutes to make you aware of a few changes that are taking place in our office. As most of you know, rumors tend to travel quickly, so I hope this dispels some of those rumors and keeps you informed about what’s really happening at the BCR. First and foremost, the BCR is not closing. If you have heard rumors of our demise, it’s simply not true. The BCR is moving into the future with a great outlook; we have more eyes reading our products now than ever before, and we are excited about all of our products and all of our opportunities for both our readers and advertisers.

Keeping that in mind, we are moving all Terri Simon of our web printing functions to our press room in Sterling. All commercial web printing was moved at the end of April, and all BCR products which we create in-house — the Bureau County Republican, the Putnam County Record, the Tonica News and the Illinois Valley Scene — will be printed in Sterling beginning this Friday. Eventually, our printing press in Princeton will be moved to Sterling as well.

This was not a decision that was made lightly. We have been exploring this opportunity throughout the course of the last five years. We are very excited about the quality of the work in Sterling.

The move of our press room does not affect any of our job printing operations at the BCR. Commercial manager Mona Cruse will still be producing the most creative and best brochures, letterhead, business cards, pamphlets, posters and more at our Princeton office.

Likewise, all editorial and advertising functions of all of our products will remain in Princeton.

Do me a favor. If you have any questions about this change, feel free to contact me personally. I can be reached at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330, or email me at tsimon@bcrnews.com. I appreciate the opportunity to let you know about these exciting changes.

••• Memorial Day is Monday, May 25. Most municipalities in Bureau County will be hosting a Memorial Day service. We’d like to let our readers know when, what time and what events will happen at your service to honor our nation’s fallen military personnel. If you haven’t already sent us your information, please email it as soon as possible to news@bcrnews.com. Or feel free to call BCR Design/Graphic Editor Sarah Denton at 815-875-4461, ext. 6331. It will be our pleasure to let our readers know what your Memorial Day services will entail.

Speaking of Memorial Day, please plan on attending a service in your hometown or any/all of the events in the area. A lot of people spend a lot of time and energy to make these services memorable. Please also remember to take along your children, your grandchildren or even the neighbor kids. The only way this important day will continue is if today’s children are exposed to these events. I’ll see you there.

••• I hope you had the opportunity to check out our graduation special section in Saturday’s newspaper. It’s filled with the faces that will offer us hope and promise for tomorrow. Congratulations are in order for those 2015 graduates from St. Bede and Hall High School who have already received their diplomas. On behalf of the BCR, we are very, very proud of you.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know an individual or business who delivers great customer service? If so, send me an email at tsimon@bcrnews.com about your customer service experience. Following is a Kudos I recently received: • Patt said, “Eight mature ladies met at Olive Garden in Peru for lunch. They were thoroughly entertained

by Jamal who sang a song, Kevin who danced with one of the ladies, and Ashley who took a few minutes and wrote a great poem and wished us a Happy Mother’s Day. Food was great, and they each did their jobs and made our day especially nice.”

••• Have a great week. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

What is the most important thing you learned in high school?

“The most important thing I learned was to treat everyone as I want to be treated.”

Sarah Bolelli, Spring Valley

“The most important thing I learned in high school is that hard work and dedication pay off.”

Emma Perona, Spring Valley “The most important thing I learned in high school is that in order to do what you want to, you sometimes have to do things you don’t want to.”

Garett Barto, DePue

“The most important thing I learned was that senioritis is real!”

Jake Quesse, DePue

“The most important thing I learned in high school is that your parents are always right. You may not always agree with them, but they have your best interests at heart.”

Maddy Ellis, Princeton TO Letter THE Editor

Public safety is a priority To the Editor, Years of law enforcement experience have taught us we can’t arrest and prosecute our way out of society’s problems with crime. We need to prevent, as well as respond: Not only locking-up lawbreakers but doing our best to helping young people avoid ever turning to crime in the first place.

Right now, Springfield policymakers face an important opportunity to boost such prevention efforts — the chance to improve preschool access and quality after years of deep cuts that have displaced more than 20,000 Illinois youngsters from prekindergarten classrooms.

Research shows high-quality early learning programs can greatly improve children’s chances of success in school and beyond. For example, kids benefiting from such services have proven less likely to become involved in criminal activity as young adults.

For those reasons, we support proposals to return to investing in young children’s learning, beginning to restore harmful cuts while also drawing down new, federal resources to further bolster our early childhood efforts.

Unfortunately, other crime-prevention strategies are facing a tough time in Springfield. Right now, state leaders are weighing whether to eliminate the Teen REACH afterschool program and reduce child care assistance for working families.

The loss of Teen REACH would take structured, positive activities — from homework assistance to mentoring — from 14,000 youth across the state. These young people would be left instead to the streets and the lure of alcohol, drugs, sex and other juvenile mischief.

Child care assistance helps ensure about 150,000 Illinois youngsters have safe reliable places to stay and learn while their parents are on the job. But proposals to cut assistance, such as phasing-out care for kids as young as age 6, will actively work against kids’ safety.

If we truly want to cut-down on crime and violence, we must avoid

First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Constitution of the United States, 1789

cutting-back on valuable efforts such as child care and Teen REACH. Instead, we should invest in these and other programs — such as preschool — that can help prevent crime.

A priority as important as public safety calls for every effective tool in our toolbox. That’s why we, in turn, call for state leaders to avoid taking or breaking those tools — and instead, to strengthen them.

Chief Douglas Bernabei, Peru Police Department Chief Robert Uranich, LaSalle Police Department

The Three Days of Darkness To the Editor, We are witnessing wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, famines, water shortages, epidemics, and this is the first of a two-fold chastisement. This is due to the breakdown of the family, immorality, adultery, abortion, the flaunting of church laws, neglect of the sacraments, and the falling away from religious practices. This first chastisement will come because of man’s sinfulness.

The second chastisement will come from God when Our Lord said if people do not repent He will send a punishment that will be greater than the flood during Noah’s time.

Fire will fall from the sky; most of humanity will be destroyed, even the good along with the bad; the priests and the faithful will not be spared; and those who remain will envy the dead.

Many of the saints like Anna Maria Taigi, Padre Pio, Elena Aiello and others have told us about the Three Days of Darkness. When utter darkness envelops the earth. The night will be bitterly cold, and the earth will tremble and all the evil spirits

will roam over the earth.

Clouds of fire will be poured upon the whole world, and the chastisement will be terrible. Satan will triumph in these days and will have appeared to have possession of the world, but God will reclaim it.

However, there are two other occurrences that will appear before the Three Days of Darkness: 1. The Warning, and 2. the Great Miracle that were stated in the Message of Garabandal. For those with a computer, look up the web site of – Garabandal2017.com. The Warning is an illumination of one’s conscience, a purification of one’s soul. Every soul will be shown how they have offended God and to what extent.

The Great Miracle will take place above the nine pines trees in Garabandal, Spain, and it will be similar to what happened at Fatima in 1917. It will be even a greater wonder than the miracle that took place in Fatima in 1917. This miracle will convince the whole world of God’s power.

All the saints have said that the fire will arrive during the last of the Three Days of Darkness. Because of the Great Miracle sign given at Garabandal, people may have time to change their attitudes, and if they pray enough, the Lord will postpone these Three Days of Darkness for a later time.

But make no mistake for the merciful plan of God is that the world must be purified of its sin, and it is predicted the Three Days of Darkness will come, and on one will escape the terror of these days.

We have witnessed earthquakes in Nepal and tornadoes in America, and the suffering is appalling. Then try to envision how the Three Days of Darkness will affect all humanity.

Now may be a good time to think about and prepare your soul for the coming chastisement.

‘Spider’ John Koerner at Princeton Coffeehouse PRINCETON — Veteran folksinger “Spider” John Koerner will close out the 2014-15 Princeton Coffeehouse season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 23. The coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion, Princeton.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

Since the late 1950s, when he became a student of the burgeoning folk scene, John Koerner has explored the range of traditional American song, as a solo performer and with a variety of partners.

Koerner is also a country blues musician, rhythmic guitarist, song-crafter and humorist.

All of Koerner’s 1960s recordings have been reissued on CD: Blues, Rags and Hollers; Lots

More Blues, Raga and Hollers; and The Return of Koerner, Ray & Glover, and Running, Jumping, Standing Still.

Two 1970s albums recorded on Dave Ray’s Sweet Jane label, Music is Just a Bunch of Notes and Some American Folk Songs Like They Used To are now collector’s items.

Koerner and Dave Ray contributed the track, Delia, to the Redhouse tribute recording, A Nod to Bob, released in April 2001 for Bob Dylan’s 60th birthday. When Dylan was first coming up and went to Minneapolis, he met Koerner at the Ten O’Clock Scholar, a beat coffeehouse, and, found him a kindred spirit to play with.

In his autobiography, Dylan described Koerner as “the first guy I met in Minneapolis like me.”

Koerner still lives and plays in Minneapolis.

During his musical career, Koerner has appeared on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion and has been a guest artist on NPR’s Morning Edition and Weekend Edition. He was also featured in Part 1 of the PBS Educational series, River of Song.

Civil War hospital matron addresses Princeton DAR meeting PRINCETON — Sarah Gregg, played by Nancy Gillfillan, entertained the members of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter NSDAR at their May 1 meeting at the Prouty Building.

Gregg was employed as the head of nurses at the hospital at Camp Butler in Springfield during the final years of the Civil War. Chapter member Gillfillan read excerpts from the actual diary of Sarah Gregg detailing the May 1865 funeral of President Abraham Lincoln in Springfield. Gregg stayed often at the Lincoln home, which a friend of hers had rented while the Lincolns lived at the White House. Gregg related the shock and sadness of the community upon hearing of the assassination and later on wrote of the funeral procession to the temporary tomb where Lincoln and the disinterred body of his son Willie were placed.

Member Beverly Larson reported on newspaper coverage from May 1865 BCR newspapers. A delegation of Princeton men attended the Lincoln funeral. Among them was Larson’s great-grandfather.

The chapter welcomed four guests from Wisconsin and Chicago who learned of the Gregg program from the registry of the Lincoln Funeral Coalition. The

Princeton chapter joined the Coalition a year ago, and since then members have shared information about the Coalition’s plans and Lincoln funeral commemoration activities in Springfield May 1-3.

A memorial service was conducted by Chaplain Lois Peterson for Betty Ingram Miles Davenport who passed away Dec. 8, 2014.

Reports were given on State Conference which was held in Bloomington April 24-26.

The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution will celebrate 125 years since the founding of the society in 1890. The quasquicentennial will be recognized at the national level June 24-28 during the Continental Congress.

Members will again participate in Memorial Day ceremonies at Oakland Cemetery, Elm Lawn, Dover Prairie Repose, Malden City Cemetery and Courthouse Square.

The next chapter meeting will be Saturday, June 6, at the BCR community room. Coffee time is 9:30 a.m. Gavel time is 10 a.m.

The program, Princeton Pollinator Garden will be given by Ellen Starr. If the weather is nice, a field trip to the garden is planned.

Bureau Valley Sectional

Sectional showcase

Storm, Clippers have strong showing

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — It’s all about getting girls to state, and Bureau Valley and Amboy/LaMoille got their fair share of them in Friday’s Bureau Valley 1A girls sectional track and field meet.

The Storm qualified nine girls in nine events while finishing second in team standings with 93 points. The Clipper qaulified five girls in six events to place third as a team (64).

Annawan/Wethersfield claimed the sectional crown with 105.

“We weren’t even setting up to win the meet.

We’re taking nine events to state, it’s a heckuva accomplishment. We competed hard in nearly every event tonight, so we’re excited about that,” BV coach Dale Donner sad.

BV standout Lindsey Hoffert, who was recruited

by ISU to run the decathlon next year, advanced in four events once again.

She chose to compete in just one individual event, the long jump, opting to run in more relays to help get more teammates to state. That move worked as planned with Hoffert helping to get three relays to state.

“Honestly, I feel so blessed,” said Hoffert who won the long jump with a winning jump of 16 feet, 10 inches. “Especially to have the teammates I have this year. We work so hard. We’re like a family, so I’m so excited and honored to go [to state].”

Hoffert ran with freshman Addison Moreland and sophomores Marissa Mungia and Tiana Kennedy for first-place and school record efforts in

Bureau Valley senior Regan Weidner (left), Amboy’s Megan Grady and Henry’s Jillian Monier head the pack in the 3200 in Friday’s Bureau Valley Sectional. Monier moved up to first place in a close finish with all three qualifying for state. the 4x200 relay (1:47.52) and 4x400 relay (4:11.39).

They also turned in a school and county record, 50.6 in the 4x100 relay, good for second-place behind Henry (50.42).

BV also qualified its 4x800 relay with sisters Regan and Haley Weidner, Riley Francis and Heather Williams with a second-place time of 10:19.07. It will be the first state trip for the senior

Francis.

“We wanted to get Riley down there. She’s a senior, she’s put a lot of time and effort in. She deserves it,” Donner said.

BV senior Regan Weidner advanced in both distance runs with a firstplace effort of 5:29.19 in the 1600 and runner-up finish in the 3200 (11:53.21) in a close finish behind Henry senior Jillian Monier (11:52.96).

It’s been a long process for Weidner to get back into shape from injury-plagued sophomore and junior seasons.

“It means a lot, especially after the past two years I’ve had. Sophomore year, barely making state and not doing well in the 3200 because of injuries and actually not making it in anything last

PLANO — Princeton senior Colbi Schertz advanced to the IHSA 2A State Track and Field Meet for the second straight year, winning the shot put competition in the Plano Sectional Friday, May 15.

Schertz had a winning toss of 40 feet, 9 3/4 inches. She will look to improve on last year’s eighth-place finish.

“It was great to see Colbi qualify for state again with another strong performance,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

Schertz has a season best throw of 41-3, which reset her own school record.

She also had a season-best 93-10 in the discus, but did not place.

The only other PHS athlete to place was senior Taylor Clark, who placed fifth in the discus at 107-0.

PHS had plenty of non-placing season best performances, including Taylor Weatherington (long jump, 14-10 1/4), Malena Wheeler (100, 14.25), Kim Glenn (100 hurdles, 18.50), Margarita Gomez (200, 30.85) and

Kira Harp (200, 31.60), Helen Moore (300 hurdles, 54.78), Kim Glenn (300 hurdles, 59.01), Nancy Duong (400, 1:18.63), and Brianna Legner (1600, 5:56.79).

PHS also turned in season bests in the 4x100 relay (53.94) with Kim Duong, Malena Wheeler, Ann Sims and Sierra Storm; the 4x200 relay (1:57.30) with Taylor Weatherington, Kim Duong, Malena Wheeler and Ann Sims, and the 4 x 400 relay (4:41.44) with Michelle Harris, Storm, Sims and Legner.

“Though we didn’t score a lot, I was pleased with our performances. I thought that we competed well and performed to the best of our abilities in many areas,” Hodge said.

“It was also nice to see Brianna (Legner) break 6:00 in winning the slow heat of the 1600 as we’ve been talking about that for the last few weeks. So we faced some tough competition and gave it our best shot.”

Aurora Rosary won the team title with 103 points.

PHS finished 13th with 12 points.

Tigresses gain boost for postseason

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigresses needed that one.

The Tigresses tuned up for postseason play with a 19-1 win in five innings over Stark County Saturday, May 16. PHS will use that win to launch into the regional it hosts beginning Tuesday at Little Siberia, with the Tigresses (9-20) opening against St. Bede (10-17) at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 20.

“It was good to get a win

before postseason and opportunities for all the kids to play again. Hope we can carry the momentum into Wednesday’s game with St. Bede. A little confidence can go a long way,” PHS coach Bob James said.

The Tigresses were sure swinging the bats with confidence Saturday.

Abby Jaques belted her 11th round-tripper of the season, a three-run blast in the first inning. She also had a two-run triple in the second.

Alisa Holmbeck cracked her

fifth homer of the season, a two-run shot as part of the 10-run second inning that gave the Tigresses a 13-0 lead.

Holmbeck finished with three hits and three RBIs. Jaques (5 RBIs), Danielle Hughes (2 RBIs) and Courtney Oeder (RBI double) each added two hits.

Holmbeck was the winning pitcher, tossing four shutout innings until the Lady Rebels broke through with a run in the fifth inning.

Sectional From Page 11 year,” Weidner said.

Weidner said it’s a thrill to be able to run the 4x800 with her sister and was very happy to see Francis, her classmate, make it to state.

Another Storm senior Sydney Lebahn, advanced in both weights, including a second-place and qualifying throw of 36-11 to qualify for the shot put for the first time. She won the discus with a qualifying throw of 112-6.

“It’s really special,” said Lebahn, who qualified on her first tosses in each event. “I guess coming into freshmen year I didn’t think it’d be anything that would happen. It’s really cool to go in both. Last year was really close, but this year I was really working toward it.”

Like Hoffert, LaMoille junior Erika Zimmerlein had a busy and successful night. She edged teammate Katelyn Pankhurst for first place in the 200 (26.25) and placed third in the 100 (12.78).

Zimmerlein also advanced on the Clippers’ third-place 4x100 (51.25) and second-place 4x200 (1:48.37) relays, joining Cassidy Corcoran, Kaitlin Boers and Pankhurst to break school records in both.

“The relays are awesome, because then you can bring your team with you,” Zimmerlein said. “It’s not quite so fun when you’re by yourself.

We’ve been breaking that 4 by 2 record about every meet, and it was like, ‘OK, let’s see

Amboy sophomore Megan Grady qualified with a close thirdplace finish in the 3200 (11:53.68).

Hall sophomore Madi Quinn was a double sectional champ, winning the pole vault at 10-3 and 100 hurdles with a personal best 16.12.

Also advancing for Hall was junior Tanya Acamovic, who used a school-record 47.67 to take second in the 300 hurdles.

Putnam County senior Paige Griffith qualified for state for the fourth time in the 300 hurdles.

Top place-finisher for St. Bede was junior Zoe Postula, who placed fifth in the 100 hurdles (17.22).

BV picked up additional points from fourth-place finishers Lexie Jacobs (shot, 34-8) and Jessica Loudenberg (pole vault, 8-9), and fifth-place finishers Addison Moreland (long jump, 16-2) and Haley Weidner (1600, 5:35.7).

Notes: Other area place-finishers included A/L’s Erin Hosto (800, third, 2:28.63); Hall’s Jenna Lusietto (high jump, third, 5-0); Amelia Moreno (800, fifth, 2:32.33); and Kaelyn Hamalle (400, fifth, 1:03.42).

BCR insider: Marquette advanced to the Elite Eight last year before losing to Westmont 2-0 in the Lisle Super-sectional. The Cru has reloaded, but perhaps not at the same level as 2014. The pivotal decision in the tournament may be whether SBA coach fires ace Jarret Olson at Hall or tries to sneak by and save the southpaw slinger for finals.

SBA coach Bill Booker said he was still undecided who he will be throwing. The Bruins and Red Devils finished as co-champs in the Three Rivers East at 10-2.

The Red Devils have had a great mix of experience
