Kewanee prison will remain open Facility to be converted to adult prisoner use

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

KEWANEE — Legislators and local leaders applauded a decision on Friday, May 20, to convert the Illinois Youth Center at Kewanee to adult prisoner use.

State Rep. Don Moffitt (R-Gilson), State Sen. Chuck Weaver (R-Peoria), State Sen. Neil Anderson (R-Rock Island), and State Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Port Byron) were joined by employees, county officials, city and

economic leaders at a press conference.

“Sen. Weaver and I are pleased to announce we have a letter of commitment from Gov. (Bruce) Rauner that IDOC will re-utilize IYC-Kewanee as a correctional facility. This announcement only became a reality with the combined legislative and Kewanee area community effort. This is good for the community, good for jobs, and good for the taxpayers,” said Moffitt. “I want to thank

Gov. Rauner for making this commitment.”

“We look forward to helping ensure the Illinois Department of Corrections realize its goals to help rehabilitate our state’s inmate population and provide the justice that our courts seek. I know the addition of the Kewanee Youth Center into IDOC’s inventory will be an asset,” Weaver said. “I want to thank the governor’s office and the Department of Corrections for a continuing commitment

to Kewanee, Henry County and criminal justice reform.”

Anderson added, “I am pleased with the announcement and commitment that the governor has given. Although Kewanee is not in my district, a large number of the employees reside in the 36th Senate District. The facility will aide the department’s mission serving justice for Illinois’ citizens.”

Smiddy also added, “This has been a strong bipartisan effort to ensure this facility continued

to stay open and offer economic viability to Henry County.”

The Illinois Youth Center-Kewanee is the newest facility for Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice and was one of the most modern for IDOC, with it opening in 2001. The Illinois Department of Corrections currently has more than 45,000 inmates in custody, while only maintaining actual bed space for about 31,000.

Local chef to appear on new Food Network show Wise Guys’ Chef Jeff is in a ‘Dinner Rush’

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — It’s safe to say cooking is in his blood, and in a few weeks, TV viewers across the country will be able to see for themselves.

Chef Jeff Patton, 56, the executive chef and kitchen manager at Wise Guys in Princeton, was chosen to appear on a new program on the Food Network called Dinner Rush.

“I belong to The American Culinary Federation (ACF) and when they contacted me last November and asked if I would be interested in participating in a cooking competition show, I jumped at the chance,” said Patton. “It was sponsored by the Augusta, Ga., chapter of ACF. We

taped the show over an eight-day period in February just outside Atlanta. It’s a farm-to-table show called Dinner Rush that is set to air June 5.”

Because of confidentiality clauses he had to sign in order to appear on the show, Patton is unable to speak about the show in-depth regarding how he did in the competition, who won and other particulars. He was able to say the same company that produces the popular Food Network show, “Chopped,” also produced “Dinner Rush.”

“It was an honor to have been chosen, and it was a blast,” Patton said. “I met a lot of talented chefs and made a few new friends along the way.”

LAMOILLE — LaMoille is looking to step out into furthering its math program.

At the LaMoille Community Unit School District meeting on Thursday, May 19, the board looked at a new math program it could use.

The program is called Digits. Representatives from LaMoille traveled to Minooka to see the program used in its natural habitat.

“We have partnerships with many school districts throughout Illinois,” Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza explained. “Through that process, we are able to share information, get information, receive instruction, at no extra cost.”

Those who watched the program in use were impressed.

“It’s very interactive. It’s very engaging,” said Tara Robinson, a Title 1 math specialist at LaMoille. “When we were in Minooka, the students were engaged the

Echo Bluff Park hosts Adventure Day to preview summer camps

By Eric Engel

out her experience, and she tries to get to know all the campers, even though there are hundreds of them each year. When she wants to explain something to the children she’ll say “echo,� and the campers will all say “bluff,� so there are times when Brown is cruising through the grocery store when she hears “bluff� followed by a giggle at the end of the cereal aisle. “One of my favorite things is when a camper does something they didn’t want to do and then want to do it again, be it zip lining, archery or something else, and their facial expression says, “Oh, that was fun,’�

Brown said, noting many times the campers must leave their comfort zone to interact with new experiences. “It’s not to push them, but to encourage them, and as you encourage, you watch them grow,� she said, stating campers arrive from Princeton, Ottawa, Utica, Oglesby and Mendota, among other towns, so they make friends at camp they’ll hold onto throughout their life.

Brown said she works with local high schools also, allowing teens to earn their service hours by being assistant counselors at Echo Bluff.

SPRING VALLEY — Children want to fly through the sky like birds. They want to be outside, charging around as if animals of the forest. They want to interact with their friends, and if that includes a game of kickball or a bit of body paint, so be it. If history has told us anything, it’s that children are always ready for an adventure.

Echo Bluff Summer Camp is heading into its third year of entertaining children and expanding their horizons, and camp coordinator Samantha Brown said a presentation will be conducted during Family Adventure Day at Echo Bluff Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 29. The day will showcase a couple of the best activities available to the campers at Echo Bluff. “As a parent of three, I’m curious as to what my kids will be doing, so Adventure Day is an open house to come see what your kids would typically be doing in the summer,�

Brown said, noting a zip line will be available to all visitors which usually costs $25 per person but will be cheaper on Adventure Day. “It’s open to anyone, so you don’t have to be a camper to come.�

Brown said the summer camps have been exceptional through-

whole time.� As they visited at the end of the school year, she finds this says a lot about the program. “All the problems are real-world problems which they could engage with,� she said. “I feel it’s a great transition from Origo Stepping Stones,� she said, referencing the program the district uses for younger classes.

The program even has certain similarities which could make the transition easier. “Students had a student companion, just like in Origo, that they write in,� Robinson said.

With the online aspect, the program is available to students outside of class. “This is all available to the student at home if they have Internet, if they really want to go over everything again,� Robinson said.

Matthew Krug, fifth and sixth grade math, suggested a practical use for this aspect. “If they’re sick, they miss class, this is available for them,� he said.

For students who might not have access to the Internet, the program also includes a book which has the same problems and everything needed to work the solutions.

Principal Chawn Huffaker pointed to an example to show one aspect he particularly likes about the program. “What’s important to see here is that there’s writing here. It’s not just math; there’s a writing component,� he said. “It’s asking for a comparison, which is usually something we ask for with writing ... We have math and writing coming together,� he said.

The possible program is especially exciting for Krug because it would change the way he puts lessons together. “Right now I have no textbook or any kind of curriculum,� he said. “I’ve been putting it together for the past few years.� “What this means is he will be able to spend more time helping the students rather than putting the work together,� Robinson said.

Espinoza made sure to explain the reason for Krug’s predicament has not been the school’s unwillingness to pay for a curriculum, but rather that there has not been anything to buy.

With Digits, that could all change.

importantly ‌ they aren’t on their cell phones. “We offer the high-schoolers a lot of positives, so even though they’re too old for camp, they can still have fun,â€?

Brown said, adding when the light bulb goes off for anyone involved, it brightens the entire community of campers.

Let’s have a pie-eating contest, or do body-painting. We could get a game of gagaball — a blissful blend of dodgeball and kickball — going, or immerse ourselves within art and theater activities. Brown said Ameren representatives will come speak to the children, and she brings in community members to teach the children and tighten the social connection between area citizens young and old. “Even if you can’t come to any of the camps, you can still come to Adventure Day and have a really good time.�

Adventure Day costs $5 per attendee. No reservations are required, and families can arrive anytime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Echo Bluff Park is located in Hall Township off Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue. For more information call the park at 815- 447-5117, or visit www.echobluff.org.

Attention all campers Camps still available eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Echo Bluff Summer Camps will allow campers the opportunity to create new friendships and grow their abilities as artists and individuals. The Adventure Camp reached capacity weeks ago, but six other summer camp opportunities are still available.

The Echo Bluff Summer Camp 2016 schedule is as follows: I Got Painted — June 21 to 23, for ages 8 to 15 at $60 per camper. • Campers will build a team fort and defend their flag while improving their paintball knowledge and ability. All equipment will be provided. After lunch, the campers will wash off the paint on a giant slip and slide.

Park Ranger — June 28 to 30, for ages 5 to 12 at $50 per camper. • Nature lovers will hike the Echo Bluff trails, compile and complete scavenger hunts and

get more in touch with trees and the surrounding wildlife. Guest speakers will present to the campers, and every afternoon they’ll cool down on the slip and slide while playing water games.

Art in the Park — July 5 to 7, for ages 8 to 12 at $60 per camper. • Campers will let their imaginations soar using a brush and canvas to capture the beauty of nature. Aside from interacting with the colors of the earth, they will do impromptu skits, enjoying the slip and slide each afternoon.

On Belay — July 11 to 15, for ages 8 to 15 at $60 per camper. • Campers will experience a challenge course and zip lining. Teamwork activities will allow for kids to encourage and cheer on their friends, whether on the ground or high in the sky. Water games and the slip and slide will refresh the campers each afternoon.

Camper Who Swallowed the Inventor — July 18 to 22, for ages 5 to 12 at $60 per camper.

• Invention is the name of the game, as the kids will blend their imagination and the real world.

Campers will participate in hands-on science, electrical and engineering activities as they explore new possibilities. Each afternoon, water games and the slip and slide will be in full effect.

Campers Gone Crazy — July 26 to 28, for ages 5 to 10 at $50 per camper. • This is the last chance to get silly and act a little goofy, as campers will compete in relay races, games and acting out fun songs. Leave the good clothes at home for this one and be prepared to get dirty. As always, the slip and slide should play a pivotal role each afternoon.

Echo Bluff Park is located in Hall Township off Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue. For more information or to sign your child up, call the park at 815-447-5117, or visit www.echobluff.org.

It is expected the re-purposing will help relieve some under staffing and overtime hours within the Department of Corrections.

The exact mission for the IYC facility has yet to be determined.

Wise Guys’ sous chef Josh Walter (from left), Chef Jeff Patton and Jonathan Thierry, grill cook, get ready for another busy day at the Princeton restaurant. Patton will soon be featured in a Food Network TV show, set to air in June.

Chef From Page 1 Patton comes by his culinary expertise naturally. His father owned/operated three bakeries, and his eight siblings have all been involved in the food industry, including one brother, Paul, who used to do all the food for the Chicago Bears’ training camp in Bourbonnais.

Living with his wife of 24 years in LaSalle County, Patton moved to the area from Minnesota, where he ran a high-volume, three-star restaurant at a resort outside of Minneapolis. Starting to work at one of his brothers’ restaurants at the age of 13, he clearly knows his way around the kitchen. In 1987, he attended Hackberry Creek School of Culinary Arts in Irving, Texas.

Throughout the years, Patton has cooked for several celebrities and sports figures, including Jessica Lange, Sam Shepard, Emilio Estevez, Danny Glover, Clint Eastwood, Walter Payton, Dan Hampton, Ron Rivera, Gary Fencik, just to name a few. He also appeared on “Good Morning America” back in the ‘90s for a Mother’s Day special along with five other chefs, and he did a weekly cooking segment on a local radio show while living in Minnesota.

“Cooking has taken me all over the

country in my career, and I have had the pleasure of working with many talented chefs including Chef Richard Cohen from The Mansion At Turtle Creek in Dallas ... Although my brother was a huge influence on my choosing this career, my mother was the main driving force that pushed me to reach beyond what I thought I could ever do,” Patton said.

Chef Jeff, as his friends know him, enjoys creating new dishes as well as putting his own spin on traditional ones.

“I make well over 200 different soups and enjoy seeing people’s reaction when they try one they have never had before, such as Muligatawny, a spicy Indian soup with chicken, vegetables and apples,” he said.

While Patton is used to cooking for celebrities of all kinds from all walks of life, he’s perfectly content now to be cooking for local celebrities, like the folks who eat at Wise Guys in Princeton.

“Let me express that I am not a oneman show (at Wise Guys), I have a very promising and talented staff supporting me, and I have a lot of respect for Ed Kurth, the owner of Wise Guys. I plan to finish my career right here, doing what I love with some really great people,” he said.

LaSalle man given five years PRINCETON — On May 5, Reynaldo Godina, 31, of LaSalle was sentenced to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for unlawful delivery of a controlled substance — heroin, a Class 2 felony — by Associate Circuit Judge C.J. Hollerich.

Godina was also placed on two years of probation, and further ordered to pay fines, fees and costs totaling $2,112 within six months of his release.

Godina was found guilty by a Bureau County jury

LADD — Darrell Robert Zigler of Ladd, born Sept.

11, 1950, in Sterling passed away after a valiant three-year battle with esophageal cancer on Thursday, May 19, 2016, at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria. Darrell lived his final days, as he had his life, surrounded by those he loved.

Darrell was head mechanic at B&D Trucking in Peru for 24 years. He retired on Jan. 1, 2016. He served his country with the U.S. Air Force in the Civil Engineers, spending time in the Aleutian Islands at Darrell Zigler Shemya Station and in California at March Air Base in Riverside. He then returned home to attend Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, where he received his Associate in Applied Science of Automotive Technology. Darrell was a kind gentle soul, a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. His favorite things to do always included spending time with his family whether it was cruising, traveling to Disney World, Jekyll Island or any other beach location or just hanging out around the table telling stories and enjoying life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Alora (Jean) Zigler, and his son, Jason Shipp (fiancé Krista Harlow), and daughter, Kathryn “Katie” Shipp. Also surviving are his siblings, Dave (Debbie) Zigler, Donna Gray and Brian (Tanya) Zigler, all of Morrison, Steve (Brenda) Zigler of Tampico and Dwayne (Tammy) Zigler of Sterling.

Darrell was preceded in death by his mother, Marilyn Jeane (Brants) Zigler; his father, James Robert “Bob” Zigler; a brother-in-law, Don Gray; and his mother-in-law, Kathryn Louise Tomes.

A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 25, at the Norberg Memorial Home in Princeton.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, at the funeral home.

Republican

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

From the editor’s desk By now, most area high schools have held their graduation ceremonies with the exception of Crossroads, LaMoille and Hall high schools. The Bureau County Republican attended graduations this past weekend at DePue, Princeton, Ohio and Bureau Valley to capture a few special moments from these memory-making events. See our photos on Pages 1 and 2.

Even if I don’t know any of the Terri graduates, all I have to hear is the band Simon play “Pomp and COMMENTARY Circumstance,” and I immediately get a knot in my throat.

I’m not sure why. There’s just something so moving about a group of young people who have finished their high school educations and are ready to move forward into this big world that holds so much beauty on one side of the coin and so much uncertainty on the flip side. Instinctively, one wants to protect each and every one of them from the too-often harsh realities of life, but realistically, I know one sometimes has to experience things for themselves.

That’s how we grow and learn.

We at the Bureau County Republican are so proud of each and every graduate, whether that diploma came from eighth grade, high school, college or any other educational venue. We know our future depends on you, and we know you will make us proud.

••• Next Monday, May 30, our nation will celebrate Memorial Day. Likewise, Memorial Day ceremonies will be in full throttle in Bureau County as well. We’ll be running a list of all Memorial Day services in the area — at least those which were submitted to us by individual municipalities or organizations. If your town/village is not represented on that list, call BCR Associate Editor Rita Roberts and give her the information for your town.

BCR photographers will be out in force at many of the Memorial Day ceremonies, however, we are unable to cover each one. Thanks for your understanding. Watch for our images in the Tuesday, May 31, edition of the BCR. As you plan your Memorial Day itineraries, I hope you will include your local Memorial Day ceremony in those plans. A lot of people put in a good amount of time and energy to honor our fallen soldiers, and I think the least we can do is show up, place our hands over our hearts and pay our respects. And when you go ... make sure the children in your life attend too. While Memorial Day is a tradition that has stood the test of time, it is only the youth among us who will carry this very important and meaningful day into the future. When kids see us pay tribute — not just to our fallen soldiers but to also put flowers on our ancestors’ graves, etc., they are more likely to maintain those traditions.

••• We are elbow-deep into our next edition of Illinois Valley Living magazine. We’d like to include some recipes featuring strawberries, since this magazine will be published in June — a prime time for strawberry picking/ eating.

Do you have a strawberry recipe you’d like to share with readers of our magazine? If so, email it to me at tsimon@ bcrnews.com. Make sure you include your name, hometown and telephone number. We won’t publish your telephone number, but we need it in case we have questions.

••• Summer festivals are on the horizon, and we’d like to help you promote your hometown event. Please send us your press releases and photos to news@bcrnews.com.

Don’t forget to include the names of people in the photos you send as well as a telephone number where we can reach you if we have questions.

••• Do you have a flair for writing and/or taking photos? If so, our sports department is looking for a few correspondents to help cover area games and sporting events. Give BCR Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus a call at 815-8754461, ext. 6336.

••• I hope you have a great week. It’s starting to be “porch-sitting” weather. Regardless of whether you have a porch, a patio, a deck or all of the above, try to put them to good use this summer. Porch-sitting means you are having a conversation with those you love ... including yourself. Take time to do it. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

What is one thing that you would change in your educational career?

“I wouldn’t change anything because this experience has made me who I am.”

Vanessa Rosales, DePue

“I would not change anything.

I enjoyed everything about my educational career, and it shaped me to become an adult.”

Alejandro Villalobos, DePue

“I would definitely change my GPA. I would have tried a lot harder by freshman and sophomore years.”

Guadalupe Moreno, DePue

“I would have taken school more seriously the first three years.”

Savanna Brunoehler, Sheffield

“I would have taken some things less seriously and that would have eased some of my anxiety.”

Flags of the freeway It’s more patriotic to de-fund project than to continue I’ll first say I’m an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and several members of my family are veterans as well. I grew up around my grandfather, a World War II combat-decorated reconnaissance scout during the Battle of the Bulge.

I know many will disagree with me and probably get angry, but after reading the article concerning the Flags of Freedom, I felt compelled to voice a dissenting opinion others may hesitate to make. I ask those pressuring the mayor and the city council to keep spending $6,000 on flags every six weeks to consider the multitude of different and even more patriotic ways that money could be spent.

No one currently living in the state of Illinois can be unaware of its financial condition. Every budget is strained, whether you’re an individual, part of a school, village, city, business or any entity providing a social service. Schools have announced they’ll possibly close their doors, and more people than ever are depending on social services. No matter where you look, people are struggling with significant sacrifices.

If these four flags are to be funded year around, it will cost roughly $48,000 a year. If taken down in winter, the city will still spend approximately $36,000.

Rather than using those funds to project an image of patriotism to those driving past on the interstate, most of whom probably don’t even notice or give more than a second of thought to them or Princeton, they could be allocated toward any number of projects more beneficial to residents.

Yes, the flag symbolizes something, but it’s not the piece of fabric that’s been fought for, it’s the ideals it represents; those are what’s important to preserve.

We’d better honor those ideals and our veterans by improving our community. I agree the flags are an impressive sight; they can create what my drill instructors would’ve called a “warm and

Dave Cook COMMENTARY fuzzy,” but warm and fuzzy feelings shouldn’t be prioritized over more pressing issues.

For example, these funds could potentially help education (educational field trips, technology, supplies, general funding), public works improvements, the senior center, veterans’ groups, food pantries, parks, the library, city vehicles, police and fire departments, Buddy Bags, Freedom House, animal rescues, CPASA, and business and community development projects. I’m sure city leaders could add several more that could make use of those funds.

I doubt people drive by or through our community counting flags and monitoring levels of patriotism. Whether or not someone is flying a flag isn’t an accurate measure of patriotism. There’s also no shortage of flags in Princeton. Visitors and residents almost always have a flag in sight. They fly at every school, city hall, the courthouse, police departments, library, post office, parks, Metro Center, Prouty building, churches and several businesses.

They also fly proudly throughout our neighborhoods. I walked roughly a mile the other evening, and I counted 19 neighborhood flags. If multiplied by Princeton’s approximate seven square miles, that’s well over a hundred additional flags. There’s plenty of patriotism here.

There are already other and better ways in which our community honors veterans. Have those opposed to removing the flags forgotten about Soldiers and Sailors Park? It’s a beautiful, shady park with a fine monument, and it’s in the heart of the city, not at the interstate ramps. Within that monument, a flag hangs, pro-

tected and safe, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Across the street, there’s a store window replica of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier complete with an eternal flame and four more flags, all bathed in red, white and blue lights. Near city hall we have Veterans’ Park, where not only Old Glory waves, but also the different flags of our military services.

Our city leaders are practicing fiscal conservatism in the way it was meant to be practiced; they’re doing what elected to do and should be commended for putting the needs of the city first.

They shouldn’t be emotionally manipulated in the name of patriotism and made fearful of doing what’s best for the city and its residents.

The suggestion to fly one every day and four on special occasions is a nice compromise, but not enough to satisfy the opposition.

The city hasn’t dropped the ball; they carry it the way they should be carrying their responsibilities.

The VFW said they’ve paid for the flags in the past and could do so again. That’s a great project for their fundraisers, and I’ll happily support them; it’s an honorable cause, but it shouldn’t rest upon on the city if they can’t afford it.

I also think it’s quite a stretch to equate the decline of the Roman Empire with the city’s decision to de-fund a very costly expense. Using patriotism to pressure and shame city leaders to spend money they can’t afford is, in my opinion, more a sign of declining values than the act of our city leaders being responsible with Princeton’s municipal funds.

Bettering the community through projects actually impacting and improving the everyday lives of our citizens is more in line with the ideals represented by the flags than the flags themselves and something which we could be much prouder of in the long run.

PJWC will host public gathering on May 30 PRINCETON — The Princeton Junior Woman’s Club will once again sponsor a public gathering at Veteran’s Park in Princeton for a moment of silence on Monday, May 30.

The event will begin at 3 p.m. and participants are asked to arrive by 2:45 p.m. Everyone is asked to wear red, white and blue.

Girl and Boy Scouts, as well as military personnel, are encourage to attend in uniform.

This “Moment of Silence” will happen nationwide at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day and is an annual event.

What is the National Moment of Remembrance?

In 1996, a humanitarian organization based in Washington, D.C., known as “No Greater Love” conducted a survey on children and asked them why do they think there is a holiday on Memorial Day. It was agonizing to hear their remarks that were all associated with barbecues and extended weekend parties and celebra-

One of the children was even quoted as saying that this was the day when swimming pools open!

Thus, the organization came up with the idea of “National Moment

of Remembrance” to remind and especially, let the future generations know about the real meaning of the holiday. The idea clicked with the President and Congress and since 1997, it became a standard American tradition.

National Moment of Remembrance requires

everybody to keep silent for a minute, exactly at 3 p.m. (local time) when ‘Taps’ is played and reflect on the glory of those who have shed blood for us. The federal government hopes to raise public awareness about the heroes and their valor by introducing this moment.

SHEFFIELD — A free Diabetic Retinopathy Screening for persons with diabetes or those at risk for diabetes will be Monday, May 30, across from Veterans Park in Sheffield.

The screening is coordinated by the Sheffield Lions Club and The Lions of Illinois Foundation, and is made possible by generous donations. Persons wishing to join the Lions in their fight against the effects of vision and hearing loss should contact the Sheffield Lions Club by calling Sue Winger at 815-303-2863.

State trifecta Zimmerlein runs for three state medals

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

CHARLESTON — Amboy-LaMoille’s Erika Zimmerlein scored a trifecta in Saturday’s finals of the IHSA Class 1A Girls State Track and Field Championships.

The senior from LaMoille claimed fifth in the 200 (25.60) and sixth in the 100 (12.56), and anchored the Clippers’ 800 relay to a fifth-place finish. The Clippers finished 20th as a team with 14 points.

Overall, Bureau County competitors landed five medals with sophomores Haley Weidner (3200) of Bureau Valley and Kaelyn Hamalle (400) each landing ninth-place finishes.

The Clippers 4x200 relay of Katelynn Pankhurst and Cassidy Corcoran from Amboy and Kaitlin Boers and Zimmerlein from LaMoille set a Bureau County record with

GRANVILLE — Bill Booker, Brady Booker, Nathan Bartley and Bruins baseball.

The combination of these four things is a recipe for sweet success at St. Bede Academy once postseason baseball time rolls around.

The group has parlayed that success into backto-back regional championships as they knocked off Three Rivers Athletic Conference rival and highly touted Hall Red Devils 6-2 at Granville Saturday, May 21.

“It was improbable, you can ask anybody, and that just makes it so much sweeter,” senior Nathan Bartley said.

It also doesn’t hurt that the Bruins also benefited from stellar pitching and a Brady Booker bomb that broke the game wide open in the top of the third inning with one swing for a round tripper, three RBIs and a 4-0 SBA lead.

“I just went up there and hit. The guys were all excited but like Bart (Bartley) said, it was exciting at the time, the moment passed and we still had to play baseball,” Brady

FULTON — The Fulton Steamers have faced an uphill battle all season long.

They took the step up to 2A, and were seeded fourth in the sub-sectional. They gutted out a 2-1 nail-biter in 10 innings against Morrison in the regional semifinals.

All that set the stage for the Steamers to upset the No. 1 seed Princeton Tigers, 7-1, in the 2A Fulton Regional final Saturday, May 21, at Drives Park.

“Knocking off the 1 seed isn’t that big of a deal,”

sophomore Erik North said. “Every time we step on the field, we feel like we’re the better team. I think that’s the mindset we have to have every game.”

“These guys are a special group with a never-quit attitude,” an emotional coach Kyle Miller said. “We are never out of anything.

Princeton is a great ball club, and (Jake) Reinhardt is a really good pitcher. I’m just so proud of these guys.”

St. Bede senior captain Nate Bartley celebrates the Bruins’ regional championship victory over rival Hall Saturday at Granville. The Bruins (16-15) advance to face Beecher at the Seneca Sectional at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Booker said.

Hall came into the game at 29-5 as the favorites, but the underdog Bruins (16-15) believed in their coach as he believed in them, and for at least one game SBA outplayed the Red Devils.

“We got the kids to understand that they have

played 34 real good baseball games this year and now it comes down to one game, and we just had to outplay them in one game.

And today we put the bat on the ball at the right time, had good pitching and played enough defense to win a regional,” coach Booker said.

Hall tried to scrape its way back into contention but they were limited to only three singles on the day as Bartley, senior Nick Plankenhorn and the SBA pitching staff have given up only four hits over the last two games.

High five for PHS

MENDOTA — Princeton senior Lenny Mead qualified in two individual events in Friday’s Mendota 2A Sectional and led a Tiger relay to state along with him.

The Tigers finished third as team, qualifying five athletes in five events. PHS had a strong overall showing, including 12 medalists.

“I think the team performed well and did a great job. I am excited that we will be taking five events down to state this year,” Mead said.

The third place was a great accomplishment, said Princeton track coach Dan Foes.

“It was a by-product of how we performed on the track.

I was proud of all our young men on how they compet-

MANLIUS — Will Konneck and the Bureau Valley Storm enjoyed some home cooking at Friday’s 1A boys sectional track and field competition.

Konneck won the 100and 200-meter dashes on his home track and will advance to state with teammates Hunter Schoff (110 hurdles, pole vault) and Kale Barnett (pole vault). They will be joined

by St. Bede’s John Barnes (shot/discus), Bret Dannis (110 H, 300 H) and Baylee Hopps (triple jump) and Amboy/LaMoille’s 4x800 relay and Romeo Blackburn (3200).

Konneck won the 100 with a time of (11.11) and added the blue ribbon in the 200 (22.82), taking both events by the narrowest of margins.

“I didn’t want to tighten up because when you tighten up, you slow down,” Konneck said. “I just tried to stay loose and keep breathing.”

Bureau Valley swept the pole vault with Schoff clearing 11-7 for first, and the freshman Barnett 10-7 to claim second.

Barnett and Hall’s Nick Stoner came in with the same seed height of 10-0, tied for second behind

all the way home from second base when Fulton catcher Jack Lemke couldn’t locate a wild pitch.

The Steamers (19-8) struggled early at the plate against Reinhardt, who looked strong with six strikeouts through the first three innings.

But then Devon Ballard came to bat with one out in the top of the fourth inning, and the Sauk Valley-bound star blasted a solo shot into the trees in left-center field to tie the game.

“I was just looking for a pitch I liked in my zone,” Ballard said. “Before that pitch, Coach (Matt) Sanderson actually told me to hit a long ball.”

Still, the Tigers had plenty of opportunities to retake the lead. They consistently

Schoff. With the bar at 10-1, both Barnett and Stoner failed on their first two tries before Barnett cleared on the third and Stoner could not.

“It was pretty exciting,” Schoff said. “I thought there was a good chance Kale was going to make second. He came out here.

He did amazing, PR-ed by seven inches.”

Schoff made his first attempt at 11-1, clearing on the second attempt. He then cleared 11-7 before

failing at 12-1.

Schoff also qualified in the 110 hurdles, placing second (17.15) behind Dannis (14.81). Dannis also won the 300 hurdles in 39.93.

Barnes blew away the field in the discus with a throw of 184-3, topping the qualifying distance by some 42 feet. He placed seventh at state a year ago with a throw of 153-4.

The St. Bede strongman also advanced in the shot put with a second-place

had runners on base, but Fulton starter North and reliever Michael Dixon each wiggled out of bases-loaded jams in the third and fifth innings.

After that second escape act, the Steamers took the momentum to the plate in the top of the sixth. They loaded the bases with no outs against Reinhardt, before Seth Sikkema ripped a single over Isaac Salazar’s head, scoring Trey Simmons and Cole McClary. North then delivered the knockout blow, clearing the bases with a double to deep center field that scored three.

“I took two straight fastballs right down the middle,” North said. “I got a little mad, but stayed focused with a two-strike approach. To blow up in an inning like that was crazy.”

Simmons came up for his second at-bat of the inning and drove in another insurance run with an RBI fielder’s choice.

Princeton (19-5) had another bases-loaded chance with two outs in the

throw of 52-6.

Amboy’s Josh Gross, Thomas Stamberger, Alan Stamberger and Blackburn advanced in the 4x800 relay finishing in 8:36.32.

Blackburn placed third in the 3200 with a qualifying time of 10:06.41.

Sterling Newman edged TRAC rival Fulton 75-73 for the sectional championship. St. Bede was fourth (61) and Bureau Valley fifth (53).

bottom of the sixth against Lemke, but once again couldn’t scratch across a run.

In all, the Tigers left 13 runners on base.

“These guys have been such a great hitting team the last two years,” Princeton head coach Tim Taylor said. “I think it sucked a lot out of them to see that happen. As a coaching staff, it was difficult to watch as well. I feel for our boys. They wanted this as much if not more than anybody else.”

The win gives Fulton back-to-back regional titles. The Steamers took third at state in 1A last year, but this one was sweet as the underdog after moving up a class.

“It’s very special with this being the second year in a row. I think we can go as far as we believe we can,” Ballard said.

Fulton will play Rockford Lutheran at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, in the sectional semifinals at Morrison.

Bureau Valley regional finals: Morrison 11, Hall 8

Hall falls to Morrison

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Hall Lady Devils swung for the fences during its Class 2A Regional matchup against the top-seeded Morrison Fillies, but its efforts came up just short.

The teams met up in the Bureau Valley Regional finals Saturday, May 21, with Morrison taking an early 3-0 lead after the first inning, thanks to a two-run homer by junior Jaeden Workman. The Lady Devils only reached base once in the first three innings, and Morrison sported a 6-0 lead heading into the fourth inning.

The Lady Devils’ bats finally came to life with the crowd roaring, as it scored three runs in the top of the fourth. However, Hall left the bases loaded to end the surge.

Morrison put two more runs on the board in the bottom of the fourth, making it 8-3. They were pulling away with the score 11-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning — with two runners in scoring position — when Hall junior Hunter Galassi snagged a line drive and dove to tag a Morrison runner out before she made it back to second base.

The Lady Devils showed their grit and determination against the Fillies by conBCR photo/Eric Engel necting with a number of pitches in the Senior catcher Lu Mautino makes connections for the Lady Devils Saturday in regional top of the sixth inning, throwing on their finals play at Bureau Valley.

as they sent five over home plate. They missed out on a few opportunities to add even more runs.

The Lady Devils came within three runs of the top-seeded Fillies, falling to Morrison 11-8 in seven innings.

Hall coach Brian Holman sat his players down in the outfield after the game and told them how proud he was of their efforts. He said in sports, and in life, people have to find a way to fight back when they get down, and believe in themselves when the odds are against them.

He told the seniors it’s alright to be upset; not that they lost, but that this enjoyable chapter of their lives has concluded.

“If you would have told me we’d score eight runs and played pretty well to score those eight runs, I would have taken it,” Holman said, stating Morrison only gave up two runs in the last two weeks before Saturday.

“They got on a roll in the third or fourth and put us out of reach, but the girls have a lot to be proud about,” Holman said, stating he will always coach his gals to be tough in regionals. “When it was 11-3 and they had runners in scoring position, they were a base hit away from us just going home early, but 20 minutes later we’re down three and putting some pressure on them, so it was a heck of an effort.”

ed,” Foes said. “Lenny had an outstanding night with two firsts, a second and a third.”

Mead won the 200 dash with a time of 22.55 and placed second in the 300 IH with a qualifying 39.49. He also anchored the Tigers’ sectional champion 4x100 relay including senior Brock Griffin, sophomore Brett Schenck and junior Blake Janssen, which turned in a 43.51.

Schenck also made it down on his own with a runner-up effort in the 100 dash of 11.07. Mead placed third in the 100 (11.12), but did not advance.

Junior Lucus Sisler punched his ticket to state with a second-place finish in the high jump (6-1).

“Lucus got caught in a log jam in the high jump but came out in second because of fewer misses on his previous heights,” Foes said. “It was a great experience for Brett Schenck to run so well as a sophomore. I am excited for Brock and Blake also who ran wonderful in their legs of the 4x1.”

The 4x200 relay of Griffin, Sisler, Janssen and Schenck placed third in 1:33.98, but only the top two places qualify.

Fourths went to Blake Janssen in the 110 HH (16.05) and Bret Emmerson in the shot (45-5 1/2).

The Tigers also gained two fifths with Schenck in the 200 dash (23.20) and Austin Wetsel in the shot (44-9). Junior Colton Youngren claimed sixth in the discus (126-1).

Geneseo ran away with the team championship with 179 points followed by Plano (74) and Princeton (69).

are so proud of what she has accomplished. She is a tough kid with a great work ethic. We are looking forward to her next couple years in track and cross country.”

Hall coach Nick Hanck noted Hamalle ran her best two times of the year in the 400 over the weekend and took home a medal.

“That’s all I could ask of her,” he said.

Things did not go as well for teammate Madi Quinn, Hall’s junior pole vaulter, who was unable to make opening height (9-6) in Saturday’s finals. She cleared 10-3 in Thursday’s prelims and had a season best 11-3 going in.

“It was not the result we were looking for at the pole vault with Madi. The good news is she still has another year to make it back to state and try to get back on the medal podium,” Hanck said.

Amboy/LaMoille junior Megan Grady finished 21st in the 3200 (12:26.39).

St. Bede junior Brady Booker is greeted by his closest friends in green after belting a key three-run homer in Saturday’s regional title game-victory over rival Hall.

Bruins From Page 11 “We hit the tournament at the right time. We struggled early in the season, and it’s just a credit to these kids who put up with our criticisms, made them work extra and I couldn’t be more proud of these guys,” said coach Booker, who has put together a sterling postseason career.

Booker went 3-for-3 to lead SBA with three RBIs, double and home run.

“Coach worked with me on my mechanics and he did a great job scouting, and he told me where to throw and what to do,” Bartley said. “He couldn’t have done a better job helping me out.”

The Bruins take their talents to Seneca to open sectional play at 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday against Beecher (21-8).

Hall still has a bright future ahead of them as a talented senior class gives way to another talented group of underclassmen, as they will once again field a skillful group next season.

“This one is hard to swallow especially with the caliber of kids that we have on our team. The seniors did everything we asked of them. I have a special bond with that group and I’m going to hate to see them go. But we have a good nucleus coming back next year which bodes well for us, but it’s tough to win when you only scratch out three hits on the day,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said.
