Princeton hires city manager Bureau County native Rachel Skaggs set to start before year’s end

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A Bureau County native has accepted the job of city manager for the city of Princeton.

The city of Princeton has announced Rachel (Lange) Skaggs of Hampshire, Ill., has accepted the position of city manager.

Her start date is slated to be no later than Nov. 2.

Skaggs comes to Princeton with a track record of public administration, having worked in Montgomery, and most recently as a management analyst for the village of Schaumburg. According to the city’s press release, she has managed substantial capital and general budgets, developed utility policies, improved economic development initiatives and worked with multi-

ple collective bargaining units.

Princeton Mayor Joel Quiram said Skaggs’ direct communicative style and her demonstrated abilities were major factors the city council used to determine Skaggs would be the right fit for Princeton.

Quiram said he is excited about Skaggs joining the team.

“She has a very easy going and friendly

demeanor, and I think people will really warm up to her,” Quiram said Friday morning, adding Skaggs’ experience with economic development, including bringing in new businesses and helping other businesses to expand, will benefit the city. Quiram also said he believes Skaggs will be very visible in the community and has plans to meet with business owners to help move

the city forward. He called Skaggs “approachable, a relationship-builder and a consensus-builder.”

A native of Walnut and a graduate of Bureau Valley High School, Skaggs has a master’s degree in public administration with an emphasis on local government management from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

“I’m looking forward to it, definitely,” Skaggs said

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — Congressman Adam Kinzinger visited DePue earlier this month and met with Mayor Eric Bryant and other local elected officials to discuss the ongoing Superfund site cleanup.

Kinzinger has been facilitating discussions between federal and state agencies to cut through red tape. Kinzinger took the opportunity to share with Bryant an update from his most recent meeting with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Director Lisa Bonnett.

The IEPA is the lead oversight agency for the site investigation and cleanup.

“I appreciate Mayor Bryant’s work on this important issue facing the village of DePue,” said Kinzinger in a press release. “This cleanup project has been a long time coming, and I was glad to share with Mayor Bryant that based on my meeting with Director Bonnett of the IEPA, I am optimistic we will continue to see progress made.

I commend Director Bonnett for her commitment to the project and to the people of DePue.” On Thursday, Aug. 27, Bryant talked about Kinzinger’s visit to DePue and about the status of the site cleanup.

Crunching the numbers at BV Bureau Valley looks at tentative budget

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley School District is heading into Fiscal Year 2016 with a tentative budget that shows a net surplus of $50,000.

Superintendent Steve Endress was happy to report the positive budget news at the regular board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

He said there were several changes made on both the revenue and expense side that helped balance the numbers.

The district was able to shed about $380,000 by reducing three full-time teachers, an assistant superintendent, and a custodian position. With those reductions came a $70,000 decrease in insurance costs.

The district was able to increase transportation reimbursement by $25,000, and an increase in the tax levy last year brought in $900,000.

Endress also pointed out the variables in the budget that worked against the district.

Those included a decrease in Bradford student tuition. The district lost five students at a cost of $50,000. There was a decrease in general state aid by about $180,000, due to two factors. One being the average daily attendance declining by about 20 students from last year. Second, the district’s poverty numbers also declined.

“We’re trying to boost our poverty numbers back up. So even though we have less students, we’re trying to keep that number as high as it legally should be,” Endress said. “We’re hoping to reverse that trend in the future.”

A couple of large expenses the district made this year included a $50,000 purchase on a new bus. There was also a 3 percent increase in wages and salaries approved throughout the district, which came at a cost of $220,000.

Endress said the district is also projecting an increase in building repairs this year, including a new roof and HVAC system at BV South, which is expected to cost around $170,000.

While the tentative budget shows a surplus, Endress pointed out a couple factors that could change the outcome of the budget at the end of the year.

“We never know if we are going to have an increase or decrease in general state aid and don’t know if and when the state will make all of its transportation payments,” Endress said.

He did commend the board for taking steps last year that helped right the ship this year.

“We made some reductions, made some revenues and many of the things that are costing us this year more than normal are not in our control,” he said.

“Unless we encourage more people to move to the district to get our numbers up.”

The board unanimously approved the tentative budget. The budget will be on display in the central office until Tuesday, Sept. 29. The scheduled budget hearing is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29.

In other business, the board: • Accepted the resignations of Trudi Roberts at BV South as a special education aide and Theresa Kostello at BV North as a special education aide.

• Approved the employment of Tiffany Johnson at BV South, special ed aide; Amy Roe at BV South and Wyanet, art teacher; Steven Getz at BV High School, Spanish teacher; Sharon Weborg at BV South, extra curricular aide; Jessica Klimek at BV Wyanet, part-time aide; Rhonda Znaniecki at BV North, special education aide; Andrew Blackert at BV North, assistant boys basketball coach; and Jennifer Moore and Ashley Schmotzer as transportation shuttle side supervisors.

• Approved Tyler DeBrock and Luke Davis as volunteer football coaches, pending completion of certifications.

• Approved Corey Peterson and Zach DeMay as volunteer BV North junior high boys basketball coaches and Jeff Monier as volunteer BV North junior high girls basketball coach.

Friday morning. “I’m very honored to serve as the next city manager for the city of Princeton. I’m looking forward to working with the mayor and the council to move Princeton forward and work on different projects and initiatives to continue to make Princeton a great community.”

Skaggs will live in Princeton with her husband, Riley, who is originally from Buda, and their 3-week-old son.

Quiram said the search for a new city manager would not have been so without the participation of many citizens in the community, including Kay Cushman, Tim Smith, Sue Spratt, Annette Schnabel and Steve Bonucci. He said all of these people gave up personal time to advise the council and meet with candidates.

“I didn’t just want this to be a council decision,” Quiram said. “I wanted these (community) people — stakeholders if you will, to be a part of the process.”

Quiram said the interview process was a lengthy one; four different candidates were interviewed. He said the decision to hire Skaggs was a unanimous one.

“All four candidates were good; they all had their own strengths, but Rachel was very impressive,” Quiram said.

Mobil — have been more willing to speed the clean-up process up over the last year.

“There’s been a lot of things that have happened in the last year, and I’m happy with the progress.

We’re constantly working to make sure that we are getting a fair cleanup of the village, so we have a safe place to raise families and for our kids to play,” Bryant said.

He added he feels there’s now more interested in pushing the clean-up site along.

“I’m encouraged by it and appreciate all the interest,” he said.

Bryant said he remains cautiously optimistic about the progress. But as current plans stand now, the village anticipates seeing the cleanup of residential properties begin sometime next year.

The village of DePue is coming up on the 20-year anniversary of when the consent order was signed that legally forced the responsible parties to cleanup the contaminated sites.

While there wasn’t any progress for years, Bryant said he feels the gears shifted when the village partnered with Northwestern University for legal advice, and IEPA assigned new site manager Charlene Falco to DePue. Bryant added the efforts of the DePue Action Committee and CAG have also raised a lot of issues and continually watch the progress the of the cleanup. He said they have challenged plans they’ve feared were not in the village’s best interest, which has helped get the best results of the cleanup.

Bryant did mention of one of the things he’s concerned about is the how the legal process of cleaning up a Superfund site works. He explained the process needs to be improved for future cleanup projects.

He gave an example of how the responsible parties will be given 90 days to submit a plan, and the IEPA will then have 90 days to get back with comments to the plans.

“In my own opinion, there’s needs to be a better, faster way to do this,” he said.

The DePue CAG will meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Fair-ly certain When I was a kid, there was no mouse in our kingdom. Oh sure, the old farmhouse had an occasional mouse now and then — especially in winter, but the mouse I’m speaking of was the BIG mouse — Mickey Mouse who lived at the Magic Kingdom in California.

As kids, nobody needed to tell us we would never leave the confines of Bureau County to venture to Disneyland. We instinctively knew it was never going to happen, and quite frankly, I don’t think we ever asked.

We just knew the Magic Kingdom was a pipe dream, so we wasted no time Terri Simon or energy pleading for that ultimate summer vacation.

I’m not complaining. Although we had seen Disneyland on TV, we had also seen men land on the moon. Both destinations were equally elusive, not to mention impractical. So instead ... we set our youthful vacation dreams on something much more within our reach — the Bureau County Fair.

From the moment last year’s fair became a memory, we began saving our pennies, nickels, dimes and the occasional quarter for the next Bureau County Fair. While we never got paid for doing chores or other things around the farm, we did get a tiny allowance, where an even tinier portion was always earmarked for the fair. If we found a penny or a nickel on the ground, it went right into our fair savings. If we got any money for Christmas or our birthdays, a bit of that also went into our fair savings. If we were lucky ... and diligent ... by the time the next fair rolled into town, we’d have quite a bit of cash by yesterday’s standards.

The adults in our home always paid our way into the gate, but when it came to rides and games, we were primarily on our own — though I clearly remember those same adults chipping in a bit when we ran short. Back then, rides were a quarter or so, and some of the games were only a dime.

There was no such thing as an armband which offered unlimited rides. No. We would have to make our money count.

So in the days leading up to the fair, we spent copious amounts of time counting and recounting our cash. We made plans on how much would be devoted to rides and how much we would spend on games. If at the end of the day there was enough change for a snow cone or a cotton candy, that would be a plus. Likewise, if we had enough to buy a punch ball (those big rubber balls on a rubber string) to take home with us, it was clearly a fair we’d never forget.

My favorite ride was always located by the chicken barn. A fellow named Mr. Wallis brought his ponies to the fair every year, and for a quarter, he’d hoist you into the saddle, strap you in, and let the ponies walk in circles while you held onto the saddle horn and dreamed of the Wild, Wild West, cowboys, Indians, “Bonanza” and “Gunsmoke.”

All too soon the ride would be over, and Mr. Wallis would walk alongside your pony, unstrap you, and gently place you back on the ground ... only to discover you in line again just a few minutes later.

I think our favorite game was the one where you’d tap a dime on top of the machine until the carnival worker would snatch it away from you and then you’d crank this miniature crane and try to pick up a prize. The ultimate prize was a round washer with the word “Choice” painted on it, which meant you got to choose anything you wanted. We also liked the game where you threw dimes at several stacks of glass dishes, and if your dime stayed inside one of them, you took that dish home.

The Bureau County Fair was our own Magic Kingdom right in our own backyard, and 50-some years later, I still have fond memories of those moments. And I’m fair-ly certain those memories are just as good as the ones generated by those kids who actually had Mickey Mouse in their kingdoms.

The Bureau County Fair is in town through Sunday. Go make some memories ...

No free in freedom Part 2: Cousins Story and artwork by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

The 91st Division was the first unit of either IV Corps or Fifth Army to reach the Arno River and control the high ground to the south. The 363rd Infantry Regiment under Col. W. Fulton Magill Jr. captured Leghorn, July 18, 1944, and the section of Pisa south of the Arno on the 24th.

Charles H. (Kassy) Kassabaum was one of those infantryman of the 363rd Infantry, Company C., 91st Division. The 361st and 362nd Infantry Regiments were driving straight north to the Arno at this time. On the night of July 28, 1944, the 363rd was relieved and withdrew south of Leghorn in preparation for movement to the east toward Monticelli Ridge. It was assigned the mission of screening Fifth Army’s right flank and maintaining contact with the 88th Division. On Aug. 5, Kassy went into more training in scouting, patrolling, mines and mine warfare, marksmanship and physical conditioning along with the rest of the 363rd.

He received still more training during the remainder of the month of August and into September in preparation for what lay ahead. The engineers gave lectures and demonstrations on river crossing techniques, more marksmanship training was taken, and special training for mountain warfare to come in the Apennines.

In the 91st Division’s first four months of combat during World War II, it had fought from Rome to Livergnano, from the Gustav line to the Ceasar line, and captured Chianni, Pontedera, Leghorn, Pisa, Monticelli Ridge, Loiano, and Livergnano, one of its biggest battles.

It broke the Gothic Line, the Berta Line and the Ceasar Line. Three times it was the first unit of the Fifth Army to achieve the Army objective – on July 18 at Leghorn, on July 23 at Pisa, and on Sept. 17 at Monticelli Ridge. After smashing the Gothic Line, the 91st’s most brilliant campaign, one infantryman stated the days from Sept.

12 to Sept. 22 were “A lifetime of mud, rain, sweat, strain, fear, courage and prayers.” Much of that credit for breaching that line was to the Division Artillery; 916, 346, 347, and 348 Field Artillery.

To give you a feel for how formidable the 363rd Infantry’s task was, taking Monticelli Ridge, one of the most important positions in the Gothic Line, consider this ... The Il Giogo Pass was the left bastion of the heavily fortified Il Giogo defense area. It constituted the anchor for the rest of the Gothic Line. It was a rocky, broken ridge with a cone-shaped peak 3,000-feet high, wooded threefourths of the way up, but devoid of any cover and concealment for the last 600 feet of the slope. On its sides, pillboxes and dugouts had been built in such a way as to afford mutual protection for each other. These had been camouflaged very carefully so that they were invisible to the naked eye. A characteristic pillbox, large enough to accommodate five men, was of concrete construction with a roof covered with 3 feet of logs and dirt, and a slit 6-inches high and 3-feet long in the front As further protection, row after row of barbed wire, 1-foot high and 25-feet deep, had been placed at 100-yard intervals up to the top

of the mountain. In two ravines, which led to the top of the mountain, the enemy had laid minefields. On the reverse slope of Monticelli Ridge elaborate dugouts had been constructed. These had been dug straight back into the mountain to a distance of 75 feet and were large enough to accommodate 20 men. On a hill 300 yards north of Monticelli Ridge, a huge dugout was found which had been blasted out of solid rock.

Shaped like a U and equipped with cooking and sleeping quarters, it was large enough to accommodate 50 men.

The Fifth Army fought to the Futa Pass, up and down unnamed hills with numbers like Hill 844, 856, 992, 1022, 1027, 544, 603 and so on. Barbed wire, pillbox machine gun nests, minefields, mortar fire, dropping temperatures, rain and snow were the environment that the 363rd Infantry Regiment and their counterparts fought through.

My father said, “We had to move fast through any open county so the German tanks and heavy armor couldn’t zero in on us. The mountains in the winter were hell. Steep inclines. It was cold, wet and rugged. I didn’t have time to think of getting hit or being afraid, just to do my job — take the ground, shoot the enemy, and try to keep my feet dry. You had to depend on the guy beside you, and he had to depend on you. It was really rough going.”

Late in September the famous Italian rain, cold and fog set in.

Intermittently during October, fog blanketed the Apennines concealing the enemy, hampering communications, and reducing the effectiveness of the artillery. The almost constant rain drenched the infantryman and turned the roads into rivers of mud and installations into quagmires. Under these handicaps the fighting was most difficult, but the 91st Division continued to advance. The 91st Division would continue to fight in Italy for another six months.

The Fifth Army in the preceding six months had fought its way from positions in the rugged mountain areas south of Rome to a point but a few miles south of Bologna, gateway to the broad Po Valley, where the enemy waited in the low fertile farmlands. There were actually many different battles and skirmishes going on from Monticelli and swinging around the city of Bologna and then into the Po Valley. Kassy made contact with his cousin, Gene Bartlett, who was in the 361st Infantry Regiment, in early December at Montecatini, northwest of Riparabella.

Both Regiments were bivouacked in the same area.

Charles Kassabaum and Eugene Bartlett were second cousins.

Eugene and his family had lived in Granville the first six years of

Gene’s life, and he and Kassy had become good pals, growing up in the Depression. It was a completely different way of life then, no television, computers, cell phones or plenty of money from Mom and Dad to fill your pockets.

They were outside most of the day.

They visited many times even after Gene’s family had moved to Peru and would remain friends their whole lives. They got into someone’s garage when they were age 6 and finding plenty of paint cans, brushes and a ladder, they had a great time painting the inside of the poor guy’s garage including the windows and ceiling. Two cyclones. Kassy and Gene, at about the age of 10, had the whole town of Granville on alert and stunk up when they set fire to a rubbish pile of rubber near the Jack Redshaw building which housed a raincoat factory at the time. “We lit it just to see if it would burn” Gene said.

“When it started to smoke making big waves of black stinking clouds, we ran like hell.”

“I’m not going to tell if you don’t” said Kassy. They shook on it, and it was silence until it later became family lore. When Charlie’s mom, Lottie, told his dad that it was too bad that Junior’s best friend and cousin, Gene, was moving to Peru, Charles Sr. smiled, and made the statement “Maybe it’s for the best (of the community)!”

Why should things be any different in another country thousands of miles from home! Gene had got a letter from his mother telling him that “Junior” (Kassy was C.H. Kassabaum Jr. and even though his mother and many relatives and friends called him “Junior,” he hated it) was in Italy also and in the same Division as he, the 91st. He started asking around and found out that Kassy was in the 363rd and where he was located.

They were all just sittin’, a lull in the action, so Gene got time to visit. This was in Montecatini.

I’ll have more of the story next time, in “Shootin’ Frogs.”

NASS to survey small grain producers SPRINGFIELD — During the first two weeks of September, growers of small grains around the country will receive survey forms from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The agency is taking a comprehensive look into the 2015 production and supply of small grains, which include wheat, oats, barley and rye.

“The small grains industry is a big player in Illinois agriculture and it is crucial for us to have accurate data about this key sector of the economy,” said NASS Illinois State statistician Mark Schleusener.

“We will contact more than 2,300 producers in

Illinois to accurately measure 2015 acreage, yield, and production for small grains. The data collected from this survey will also help set small grain acreage and production estimates at the county level.”

NASS will contact Illinois survey participants to gather information on their 2015 production and the quantities of corn, soybeans, wheat, and oats stored on farm.

As an alternative to mailing the survey back and to help save both time and money, growers will have the option to respond to the survey securely online.

Farmers who have not responded by Sept. 1 may receive a phone call from a NASS representative who

will help them fill out the survey form.

As with all NASS surveys, information provided by respondents is confidential by law. NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified.

Survey results will be published in several reports, including the annual Small Grains Summary and the quarterly Grain Stocks report, both to be released on Sept. 30.

These and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov. For more information call the NASS Illinois Field Office at 800-551-1014.

Emergency responders trained for ag rescue Agriculture is the most dangerous industry. Each year unnecessary deaths and injuries affect farmers and their families, farm employees and rescuers. Emergency responders often lack knowledge of the nature of farm machinery, chemicals and farm structures. For this reason the Bureau, Henry and Stark County Farm Bureaus, along with the Kewanee Fire Department, sponsored a course for fire, rescue and EMS providers in the three-county area.

The course involved an eight-hour combination of instruction and hands-on incident training conducted by Dave Newcomb and Jim Berry of the Illinois Fire Service Institute. The Illinois Fire Service Institute’s Agriculture Rescue Program

offers courses to train Firefighters who respond to incidents in the farming and rural settings.

Throughout the course of the day, rescue personnel learned principles and guidelines for the safe response to tractor roll-overs, entrapment in field agricultural machinery, entanglements in stationary equipment, electrical incidents, agricultural chemical spills and exposure, fires related to the farm operation and other agriculturally-related incidents.

The program was coordinated by the Bureau, Henry and Stark County Farm Bureaus, and received grant funding from Illinois Farm Bureau and COUNTRY Financial.

Rockridge spoils grand opening at Hall

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Everything was set for the grand opening of the new Red Devil Gymnasium at Hall High School Thursday evening.

The video board was on display, featuring player profiles and team cheers.

The fans from both Hall and Rockridge filtered in to check out the new gym, appreciating the air conditioning that the old gym did not have.

And both teams were excited to play, especially the Lady Devils in their new volleyball digs.

Everything went grand, except for the final score. The visiting Rockets spoiled the

grand opening by defeating the Lady Devils 25-22, 24-26, 17-25 in Three Rivers Conference play.)

Hall senior captain Brooke Keegan said it was very exciting to play in their new gym for the first time.

“It was very different, very exciting, big,” Keegan said.

“Obviously, it’s a different tradition, different feel to this gym. I feel like the girls are like, ‘Wow this is a big space,’” Hall coach Bernadette Savitch said. “We’ve been working on getting our energy here because when it’s quiet, it’s quiet. That was a big adjustment. The girls are working hard and we’re getting there.”

Savitch said the Lady Devils just couldn’t seem to seize momentum. After winning the second set, they quickly fell behind 13-4 in the third and couldn’t recover.

“We were really hoping to take that momentum from the second set and it just died on us,” Savitch said. “I felt like there was a time, ‘Hey, this was really going to work,’ and they fought back and came back alive in the game.

But when you get down that early and that quick and that much, it’s always going to be very, very difficult to come back from.”

“I’m glad the girls showed

Hall junior libero Madison Soldati makes a dig for the Lady Devils Thursday.

PERU — First-year coach Karrie Damerell has spent five years at St. Bede Academy teaching social studies. During that time she was also in the stands at St. Bede home games watching, all the while an itch was building in her that only volleyball could scratch.

“I’m excited to be back in the gym after some time off. To be able to be back on the court this year with the girls instead of watching from the stands is a great feeling and something I really missed a lot,” said Damerell, who previously coached at Lowpoint-Washburn. “I’ve had most of these girls in class at one point. My daughter was at St. Bede last year and my niece, Kourtney Knecht, having been here the previous two years made it really easy to transition into this new position.”

The Bruins (15-20) come back after a year that taught many of the current seniors and returning letter winners the ups and downs of volleyball while it prepared them to take on their current roles as leaders this season.

“We have a lot of returning talent this year. Between the mix of returning players and talented young ones we have a lot of good things happening for St. Bede volleyball, and I’m happy to have the chance to be a part of it and excited at the possibilities of where we can take it,” Damerell said.

The leading forces on the team will be seniors Zoe Postula (OH) and Julia Pohar (DS/libero) as they step into new roles at the forefront of SBA volleyball as captains. Damerell also expects returning letterwinners Hanna Bima (MH) and Sadie Long (S) to come into their own and create a four pack to watch out for on the floor.

Pohar returns after being selected to the second team all TRAC with Bima also grabbing an honorable mention nod.

“I expect big things from those four seniors,” Damerell said. “They’ve all played together for a long time and they have experience at the varsity level. They should be ready for whatever the season throws at them and I expect them to make strides this season and make the rest of the team better.”

Volleyball: Annawan def. BV 25-18, 25-15

Bravettes topple young Storm

​By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

ANNAWAN — Young teams go through growing pains early in the season and that was evident as the Bureau Valley Storm struggled to put it together in their season debut Wednesday, Aug. 26, against the Annawan Bravettes.

The Storm may have five seniors, but they only return one player with significant floor time at the varsity level and the Bravettes took advantage of the inexperience of the Storm squad as BV suffered a 25-18, 25-15 loss Wednesday in Annawan.

“Our concentration is getting bet-

ter than the day before and we had a really rough practice yesterday. I don’t know if it was nerves or getting in the rhythm of school but we have had a rough few days, and I don’t think we have been confident but we improved tremendously over yesterday,” BV coach Abbi Bosnich said. “We didn’t like the outcome of the game but I’m proud of the girls because they are better today than they were yesterday.”

BV hung around early on in both sets, but the outside hitting of the Bravettes, led by senior outside hitter Taylor Shaw, proved to be an insurmountable task for the Storm.

Back-to-back aces from senior

Savannah Dean put the Storm up 11-10 in the first set, but the Storm struggled to take advantage of their serves in key situations.

Each team traded points before the Storm offense sputtered and was outscored 7-2 down the stretch.

The second set was much the same as the first with the Storm cutting the Bravettes lead to one at 10-9, but the Bravettes turned it on down the stretch outscoring BV 15-6.

A huge part of the stretch run for Annawan came on the shoulders of Shaw, who stymied the Storm defense with an ace to put the Bravettes up

some spunk. That’s something we’re just going to take and try to grow off of Saturday.”

The Hall coach said the Lady Devils showed good life coming back in the second set after dropping the first. That’s another area of their game Savitch said they are working on.

“I think a lot of drills that we’ve been doing in practice we put the girls in a situation they have to come back from something,” she said. “They’ve gotten in a habit, and Megan (coach Uphoff) struggled with it last year, where they made a mistake or two and they didn’t really, I guess, believe that they could come back from things. They have a tendency to do that. A lot of teams do, but those that don’t are the ones that win. That’s what we’re working at. A lot of mental games.”

First-game jitters, especially playing in their new gym, may have got the best of the Lady Devils in the first set. The Lady Devils led as late as 18-17, but the Rockets hit for the sideout and tacked on the final two points for the 25-22 decision.

“We just started too late. They were up 8-3 and we started to come back. We started to play good at the end, missed some key serves. That’s really what hurt us,” Keegan said. “I think it was getting some nerves out. Second game we came back and got at it. I think next home game we won’t be as nervous.”

Keegan and junior Jenna Lusietto each had five kills, with Caitlyn Jablonski and Abby Hoscheid adding three each. Keegan also recorded 14 assists and nine digs. Junior libero Madi Soldati had 13 digs and three aces.

“It was a difficult night, because we struggled a little bit with serve receive,” Savitch said. “Offensively, I wasn’t seeing all the hitters come alive like I did Tuesday night (at Seneca). Tuesday night, I think we had

a really good mesh of mixing it around and everybody seemed to be on. And tonight, we had a couple we were going to because the others were struggling a little bit.”

• Notes: Rockridge swept all levels, taking the sophomore match (26-24, 25-14 and the freshmen match, which was played in the new adjacent auxiliary gym (the White gym) 25-15, 25-6. ... Hall will utilize both gyms Saturday for its Early Bird Invite. The Lady Devils will be in Pool B with Kewanee, Stark County and Galva. Pool A will consist of St. Bede, Sherrard, Fieldcrest and Peoria Manual.

Bureau Valley’s Megan Hunt keeps her eye on the ball as teammate Sam Stocking moves in Wednesday at Annawan.

21-15. She then rattled off four more points as Annawan claimed a two-set victory.

“We only have one varsity player in Savannah Dean that played any real amount time at the varsity level. We have a few seniors that saw a few points last year but we don’t really have much experience playing at this speed,” Bosnich said. “We knew they were going to Taylor (Shaw) on the outside and we stopped her a few times but she hits at a speed that our girls just aren’t used to yet.”

BV senior Darcy Kepner rejoined the volleyball team after taking the year off and instantly made a big impact even though she only carries a 5-5 frame.

“Darcy Kepner came out again this year and that’s huge for us. She led our team in or was near the lead in almost every statistical category in our stat

Lady Bruins From Page 11 Also joining the four seniors on the court to start the season will be a duo of talented juniors as middle hitter Chase Ludford and outside hitter Kourtney Knecht hope to make their presence felt early in the season.

The Bruins have a solid core of hitters who will make an impact off the bench in senior Caitlin Smith, junior Lauren Giordano, and with sophomore call-ups Kaelyn Condon and Alexa Damerell also making the squad. Damerell was expected to work her way into playing time but tore her ACL so she won’t be available at the immediate start of the season.

Shaw led the Bravettes with five kills, one block, one dig and an ace to go with 11 service points.

Dean was tops from the service line for the Storm with five points and three aces. She also had five sets for the Storm. Senior Sam Stocking chipped in four points, an ace and one kill.

“I think getting that first game out of the way for them is the best thing and I’m confident that they will be better tomorrow than they were today. I told them as long as they continue to get better good things will come.”

“The girls have a solid work ethic and always push each other. They don’t get down on one another and genuinely care for one another. I can call on any one of them at any time and be confident in them,” Damerell said.

A big key to the success for St. Bede this season will be the familiarity amongst the players on the team and that is something that coach Damerell hopes to build on throughout the season.

“Gelling as a group is really important to any team and we have emphasized this, but these girls have already been so comfortable around each other that I only

expect them to click more as the season progresses. They’re such a close group already, I couldn’t have asked for a better group for my first season,” Damerell said.

The St. Bede coach will take each season as a learning experience and hopes to improve each year starting with this one.

“There is always room for improvement and that’s what one of my goals is as a coach,” Damerell said. “I want to build upon every year and have more success and be more prepared than the previous year. I expect to be one of the top teams in the conference and that’s something we’ll strive for and hopefully that results in postseason action.”

NEWMAN 22, ROCKRIDGE 8

Comets pull rank Newman knocks off 2A’s top-ranked team in season opener

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

EDGINGTON – What could have been a rude way to begin a season turned into a Rude awakening.

Senior running back Brady Rude sliced and diced a stout Rockridge defense for 176 yards and three touchdowns to lead Newman to a 22-8 victory Friday night in a Three Rivers crossover contest.

It was one of the most anticipated games in the state, as the Comets entered the season ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, while the Rockets were No. 1 in 2A. Each team has now won on the other’s home field for 3 years running.

“This is huge, because we had some terrible practices this week,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said of his 298th career win at his alma mater. “We had a little heart-to-heart about it, and just challenged the kids. They accepted it, and you saw that tonight.”

Newman seized control in the opening moments of the second half. Rude went virtually untouched up the middle for a 65-yard TD run on the second play of the third quarter.

On Rockridge’s ensuing posses-

sion, Comets defensive back Garrett Stringer picked off a pass just in front of the Newman bench.

Rockets QB Carson Frakes had completed 10 passes for 97 yards in the first half. In the second, he completed four for 41 yards.

Senior running back Dalton Woebber, who had rushed for 1,500 yards a year ago, had eight carries for 32 yards against the Comets. Rockridge’s lone score came midway through the first quarter on a 3-yard run by Nathan Parchert, to answer Newman’s initial score.

“Rockridge had a heck of a drive, but we came back and never doubted each other,” senior defensive end Rhett Scroggins said. “We kept working hard and playing with heart.”

FORRESTON 33, AFC 13

New Cards, same result Defending state champ Forreston runs through AFC

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

FORRESTON – With most of its 1A state championship team having graduated, Forreston’s 33-13 NUIC crossover win Friday over Ashton-Franklin Center demonstrated that a group of reinforcements is on the way.

Among the reinforcements are sophomore running backs Matt Akins and A.J. Christensen. They combined for 174 yards in a first half that saw the Cardinals gain 19 first downs. Christensen had touchdown runs of 16 and 3 yards, and Akins had a 1-yarder. Another sophomore, Gavin Fuchs, scored from 10 yards out as Forreston built a 27-6 halftime lead.

“We have a lot of new faces,” said senior Logan Rogers, one of the few returning starters. “It will take awhile, but we’ll start to round into form. We have a strong sophomore class.”

Another of those sophomores, 6-foot-6, 210-pound Sam Barkalow, had two first-half fumble recoveries. The first came after a Noah Gipe squib kickoff that bounced off an AFC player.

At the time, the Raiders led 7-6.

Six running plays later, Forreston scored and never trailed again.

“That was a backbreaker,” AFC

coach Brad Winterland said.

David Zinke stunned the Cardinals with a 63-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Two plays later, quarterback Jacob Hilliker scored from 2 yards out for an early 7-0 AFC lead.

Forreston then put together a 14-play drive that stalled after a first-and-goal situation. AFC did manage a pair of first downs, but was forced to punt, and the youthful Cardinals took control of the game.

Christensen returned the punt 20 yards, then topped off the drive with a touchdown on second and third efforts.

“It’s an honor to step into the left wing[back] for Max Barkalow,” Christensen said.

With new quarterback Caleb Poffenberger directing the offense, the Cardinals started the second half with 13 straight running plays, scoring on a Tyler Bryant 4-yard run and taking a 33-7 lead.

“The thing they do so well is making it hard to find who has the ball,” Winterland said. “They had more depth with guys coming in all the time. They’re big and strong.”

Jake Hageman added a 6-yard Chris Johnson/Shaw Media touchdown for AFC’s final score AFC’S Jake Hageman follows his blockers during Friday’s road game against Forreston. The late in the game.

LENA-WINSLOW 46, EASTLAND-PEARL CITY 8

How other half lives Defending champs EPC no match for Lena-Winslow in opener

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555 @CodyCutter35

LENA – One year removed from winning the 2A state championship, the Eastland-Pearl City Wildcatz looked little like defending champions in a 46-8 loss to Lena-Winslow at the Panther Bowl in Lena.

Called for 20 yards of early penalties and notching just a single first down by halftime, the Wildcatz (0-1, 0-1 NUIC Northwest) struggled to penetrate against the Panthers’ tenacious defensive line.

The Wildcatz were outgained 339-49 in a first half in which they trailed 46-0, more than setting the tone for just how much of a hill they’ll have to climb to get back into the upper echelon of the rugged NUIC once again.

“It’s a good football team,” Wildcatz coach Randy Asche said.

“Our kids are young and are inexperienced, but my kids didn’t quit. We didn’t turn on each other, so that’s a positive.”

Lena-Winslow (1-0, 1-0), without the services of senior quarterback Joe Robinson, relied on a three-man rush attack to produce six touchdowns and 412

total yards.

Payton Clouse was relied on heavily by the Wildcatz, rushing for 65 yards on 20 carries.

Clouse’s 12-yard second-chance D.J. rush with less than Heeren 8 minutes left in EPC sophomore the second quarter marked the Wildcatz’s only positive of the opening half. His other 14 rushes of that half went for an average of just 2 yards.

“We’re proud of the fact that we never quit,” Clause said. “We knew this was going to be a tough game coming in. We couldn’t get some stuff going.”

Wildcatz quarterback DJ Heeren provided his team’s first Craig Lang/Shaw Media score with a double-fake from 32 yards out with 4:19 left in the Lena-Winslow’s Rahveon Valentine breaks through the Eastland-Pearl City line for a big gain third quarter.

STERLING 56, ROCK FALLS 6

Sterling from start Thornton’s long run sets tone for rare Twin Cities battle

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550 @pm222

ROCK FALLS – Sterling Thornton saw his blockers picking up the wrong defenders, but made it work anyway.

“We blocked the play wrong,” the Golden Warriors’ quarterback explained. “We missed the read key backer. We celebrated the score, but got it figured out right away.”

It was a read-option play and Thornton kept it, beat his defender, and took it 58 yards down the Rock Falls’ sideline for a touchdown on the Warriors’ first snap of the season.

It was a sign of things to come as Sterling had its running game going throughout the night in a 56-6 win over Rock Falls in the first meeting between the teams since 1994.

The Rockets didn’t lie down, however, and answered with an 80-yard scoring drive capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Logan Pillars to running back Blake Wind.

That drive was the only offense Rock Falls (0-1) could muster the rest of the way. Sterling’s defense stuffed the Rockets’ running

game, allowing just 26 yards on 26 carries, and intercepted Pillars once. Running back Braeden Westfall (11 carries, 15 yards) had the most success “They were so fast,” Pillars said.

“Game speed is so much different than what you see in practice.

They made it tough all game for us.”

Sterling stuck to the ground and ran for 368 yards behind its dominant offensive line. Thornton finished with 147 yards and five touchdowns on 11 carries, while throwing for 74 more yards – all in the first half. He didn’t play a second half that was sped up with a running clock. Sophomore Latrell Vaughn, playing in his first varsity game, added 137 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries.

The powerful back hit just about Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com every hole, and proved to be tough Rock Falls’ Blake Wind gets tackled by Sterling’s Kyle Beer (54) and Tyson Hall during Friday’s to bring down in the open field. game at Hinders Field. Sterling won 56-6.

FROM THE SIDELINE | STERLING AT ROCK FALLS | THE FUTURE

We need games like these Local teams playing each other good for high school sports

R

OCK FALLS – SVM photographer Philip Marruffo sent a text message to Patrick Mason about 6 p.m. Friday night to say that the parking lot at the Rock Falls Athletic Complex was already full.

About 30 minutes later, after Mason had left to cover the first football meeting between Rock Falls and Sterling since 1994, Mason confirmed that the lot was more than jammed.

Four days earlier, Ryan Oetting, Donnie Dittmar and Shad Bailey could have predicted such a crowd as they stood on the practice field behind Roscoe Eades Stadium.

The three assistants for the Golden Warriors, once donned uniforms for Sterling in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The Sterling-Rock Falls rivalry was in full tilt in those days, and those three saw incarnations of the rivalry across every sport.

stand that, but as Sterling coaches and assistants, they shake their heads at the travel time for sports in this era.

“I could never coach a sport with multiple games in a week,” Bailey said. “We’re going all over the place. It’s too much to go an hour or two one night, and then an hour or two the other way the next night.

“I can understand with the size difference why we don’t play Rock Falls, but there are other teams we should be playing.”

Bailey hopes to see a game with Dixon back on the schedule in the future, but the Dukes also reside in the Big Northern, so that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.

The consensus seems to be, though, that games like the one on Friday are what made high school sports great to begin with, and games like that might eventually be needed to save high school sports in the future.

ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 45, BUREAU VALLEY 22

Midseason form Panthers’ Binion scores 4 TDs in win over Storm

BY BRENT JAMISON SPORTS@BCRNEWS.COM

MANLIUS – Dylan Binion and the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers have a lot of experience coming back this year and in their season opener on Friday night they already looked in mid-season form.

The Panthers, who are ranked #10 in 3A, scored on their first four possessions of the game and racked up 414 yards of total offense as they beat the Bureau Valley Storm 45-22 in a Three Rivers cross-over game.

Binion started off his senior season on a high note, rushing for 210 yards on 17 carries, plus scoring four touchdowns in the game.

“Dylan made some pretty electric plays,” E-P coach Chuck Milem said. “He’s pretty special.

We did a good job upfront but he makes things happen in the back end. We were pretty electric tonight offensively.”

With the Panthers trailing 8-7 in the second quarter, Binion went to work. He scored on rushes of 24 and 2 yards on consecutive possessions to put E-P up 23-8.

That’s when Storm coach Spencer Davis went to his bag of tricks.

With 3:21 left in the first half, BV scored on a hook-and-ladder when Drake Davis passed to Bryan Herr, who then pitched to Will Konneck for a 77-yard touchdown reception.

But for every Storm score, E-P had an answer.

Just two plays later, Binion scored his third touchdown of the half, getting to the outside for an 80-yard run to the end zone.

“We showed some pretty good resiliency because Bureau Valley has some great offensive weapons,” Milem said, about his team holding off the Storm offense.

Panther quarterback Phillip Coers added a 14-yard score in the second half. He finished with 132 yards on the ground. His only Shaw Media photo/Kevin Hieronymus miscue came on the Panthers’ first possession of the game when Erie/Prophetstown quarterback Phillip Coers runs away from Bureau Valley’s Caje Peterson he fumbled, but it was recovered Friday night at Storm Stadium in Manlius. by offensive lineman Ian Wirt in the end zone for a score.

HALL 21, FULTON 7

Hall turns out the lights Steamers’ mistakes costly against state-ranked Devils

BY TY REYNOLDS TREYNOLDS@SAUKVALLEY.COM 800-798-4085, EXT. 5554 @STYREYNOLDS

FULTON – The Steamers’ final drive of the game told the story of their season opener in a nutshell.

Trailing Hall 21-7 heading into the fourth quarter, Fulton marched 85 yards in 19 plays, taking 8:34 off the clock. But in the end, the Steamers came up empty, as a fumble on the 3-yard line was gobbled up by the Red Devils to preserve the Three Rivers crossover victory.

“You can’t make mistakes and miss chances against that team,” said Fulton senior running back Trey Simmons, who ran for 96 yards and caught a 33-yard TD pass.

“We kept battling all game, but we just didn’t make enough big plays against a tough team.”

Fulton (0-1) controlled the line of scrimmage for the first quarter, but had another deep drive end on downs at the Hall 22. That’s when Hall (1-0) made its move.

A 62-yard pass from senior quarterback Drew Pullam to Jake Merkel opened the floodgates, as Chris Hammonds scored from 14

A Fulton fumble was then quickly taken advantage of, as Hammonds scampered 45 yards two plays later for a 14-0 lead.

“When teams miss chances, that momentum always shifts,” said Hammonds, who finished with 139 yards on 13 carries. “We thought if we didn’t let them score, their fire would burn out.”

PRINCETON 42, RIVERDALE 0

Tigers roll on the River Princeton opens season with shutout win over Rams

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529 @BW_SVM

PORT BYRON – Jacob Reinhardt’s night started with an interception. It ended without another incompletion and three scores to boot.

Now, the Princeton senior quarterback and his fellow Tigers will ride their 42-0 blowout win over Riverdale to a date with Morrison in Week 2.

“It was a good way to start the season,” Reinhardt said.

On Princeton’s first drive, he shorted teammate Levi Bates on a deep ball, falling into the hands of Rams’ safety Dalton Baele.

After that, the Princeton defense continually stalled Riverdale, and the Tiger scoring didn’t stop. Reinhardt finished 6-7 with 64 yards through the air, 4 yards rushing, a passing touchdown and two more on the ground.

“We’ve been working on these plays for three weeks now,” Reinhardt said. “We knew the mistake that we made [on the interception] and we came right back out and corrected it.

“Now, we’re focused on Mor-

rison.”

After Reinhardt’s first goal line run put the Tigers on the board at the 2:29 mark, linebacker Jack Bays recovered a fumbled Rams’ punt attempt in the end zone, helping Princeton close out the first quarter with a 14-0 lead.

In the second, Reinhardt hit Kai Tomaszewski for a 30-yard touchdown pass, followed on the next drive by a Jett Wedekind 31-yard sweep for six.

Meanwhile, the Tigers’ D preserved its shutout by allowing Riverdale past the 50 only once throughout the game. Reinhardt notched his second rushing score on Princeton’s first drive of the third, and running back Austin Rossler took a seven-yard sweep to paydirt in the fourth.

Although he’s happy with the Alex T.

ST. BEDE 38, AMBOY 7

Bruins sink Clippers St. Bede loses sophomore Dannis to leg injury

BY ROB LAIRD SPECIAL TO SVM

AMBOY — Amboy-LaMoille’s sputtered in its season-opening 38-7 loss to St. Bede in a game that felt more like a footnote than football.

St. Bede sophomore running back Bret Dannis suffered a serious injury to his lower left leg as he attempted to dive toward the end zone in the third quarter. He collided with Amboy-LaMoille senior Kody Conderman just shy of the right pylon, and both players stayed down. Conderman was able to walk off the field on his own power after a couple minutes, but officials quickly signalled for an ambulance for Dannis.

After a delay of more than 15 minutes, officials notified the teams of the option to suspend the game, but St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said the team captains unanimously decided to complete the contest.

Even without one of their most dangerous weapons, the Bruins simply had too much firepower for Amboy-LaMoille on both sides of the ball. Hopps ended with 153 yards rushing on 15 carries.

The Clippers managed just

two first downs in the first half, and if not for an interception by Cole Olson in Amboy-LaMoille’s own end zone seconds before halftime, the score could’ve been even worse. Carter Shaw also had a first-half interception.

“They were just a lot better than us on the offensive and defensive lines,” Amboy coach Gary Jones said, “and we made too many mistakes that cost us early in the game.”

The speed of the Bruins’ skill players also gave Amboy-LaMoille problems.

Senior running back Baylee Hopps consistently burst into open space and away from defenders, including once on a 52yard second-quarter touchdown jaunt for his fourth score of the game.

JOHNSBURG – As successful as last season was for Johnsburg, there was one regular-season blemish – a 13-7 opening-night loss to the Oregon Hawks.

Friday was a chance for payback, and the Skyhawks cashed in.

Oregon stayed close early, but Johnsurg’s athleticism proved to be too much in a 53-25 win After Johnsburg (1-0) marched down the field on its opening drive to jump ahead 7-0, Oregon (0-1) was right there with an answer of its own on the Hawks’ opening possession of the 2015 season. Oregon capped off an eight-play drive with a 56-yard touchdown run by senior John Ghibellini.

The ensuing extra point try came up short as Oregon trailed 7-6, but had regained some confidence.

“This might be the best team we play against all season. Their offensive line was so tough to play against, and our inability to stop Peete is what really hurt us.”

Oregon was able to run the ball for 282 yards and were led by Ghibellini, who finished with 132 yards on 21 carries and junior Caleb Mennen, who finished with 80 yards on six carries.

Senior Maverik Good led the Hawks in receiving with two catches for 42 yards. Despite the loss coach Bothe did see a lot of positives in Friday’s opener.

“I was really happy with the effort we gave tonight,” Bothe said.

“This is just one game and we learned a lot tonight and will use what we learned to help us improve.”
