Missing woman’s vehicle found

Car parked in Morris restaurant lot, but still no sign of Deborah Dewey

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

Deborah Dewey Has not contacted family or friends since last Monday

LADD — The vehicle of the Ladd woman reported missing Aug. 23 was located Monday morning in the parking lot of R Place Family Restaurant/T.A. Truck Stop in Morris.

According to Lt. Jeff Padilla, lead investigator with Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17, Deborah Dewey’s

vehicle was “neatly parked” in the lot of the restaurant that sits along Route 47, with no signs of damage and no indication of Dewey being in the area.

A volunteer actively searching for Dewey was the one to report the location of the car.

Police are unsure how long the car had been parked in the lot, and they don’t know if Dewey was the driver of the vehicle when it was parked.

After checking into security camera footage, Padilla confirmed there was no footage of the parking lot where the car had been sitting.

“There is footage at the pumps and inside the store and restaurant,” he said, adding Dewey was not seen on any of those cameras.

“We have not seen her in Morris, other than having her car in the parking lot,” he said.

At this point, police don’t have enough evidence to confirm whether Dewey went missing on her own or not.

“We have no indication at this point of any foul play,” Padilla said.

Chris Dewey, Deborah’s son, said it’s unusual his mother’s car would be in Morris.

SPRING VALLEY — A partnership of sorts is forming to solve drainage problems at Webster Park.

A group of citizen volunteers will install a new sewer line to replace the one that appears to be blocked or collapsed. The city will pay the yet-to-be determined cost of the 18-inch pipe and manhole structure, Alderman Ken Bogacz told the council at its meeting Monday.

Several aldermen met in the park on Aug. 17 to assess the drainage issues, Bogacz said. Chamlin and Associates project manager Mike Richetta said the private property owner will handle the replacement of the drainage material with help from a few neighbors.

“It would take longer if the city needed get an easement and bid a contract out for the project. This gives an opportunity for the homeowner to correct the problem almost immediately,” Richetta said, noting Spring Valley has done this previously, where drainage materials are purchased and citizens do the maintenance.

The dog days of summer at Alexander Pool As the summer season winds down, so does the fun for children and adults at Alexander Pool in Princeton. The outdoor pool closed for the season, but area dogs got a chance to experience some swimming pool fun on Saturday, when the Princeton Park District opened its doors to area canines — allowing them to take a dip in both pools.

Several area dogs and their owners enjoyed the two-hour event, where the four-legged friends had the run of the pools and some refreshing swimming adventures.

Wetland From Page 1 Speakers engaged local farmers on topics including constructed wetlands, cover crops, pollinator habitats, water testing, nutrient loss reduction and USDA programs.

There was also a rainfall simulator present to provide a demonstration of how water moves over and through soil.

Continuing education credits were available for Certified Crop Advisers.

The main event, however, was the construction of an approximately fouracre wetland area designed to slow water run-off into the nearby creek. Once established, the wetland, which will be roughly 12 to 18 inches deep, will allow excess nutrients to be absorbed naturally by native plants. The wetland will also be beneficial to pollinators and other wildlife.

Erika Turner with the NRCS said, “We’re here to promote federal programs landowners and producers can take advantage of to help to offset the cost of using practices such as wetland construction, cover crops and other methods promoting the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy.”

Caroline Wade, nutri-

The approximately four-acre wetland will be lined with clay to help hold the 12 to 18 inches of water. Once the wetland is fully established, it will slow the flow of water through the area and allow native pollinator plants to absorb the excess nutrient run-off from the nearby fields. ent watershed manager for the ICGA, spoke of the most common concern of farmers in regards to the construction of wetland areas.

“It’s an edge-of-field practice, so with the economy the way it is, a lot of farmers are really focused on what they can do in the field to address nutrient loss while also boosting production. The four Rs (right source, right rate, right place and right time) of nutrient management and the use of cover crops are the main issues they’re concerned with first because there are other benefits to production.

By the time we’re talking about wetlands, they’ve

already lost the nutrients, so they’re less likely to look at it as a primary way, but it works very well,” Wade said.

Wade also said farmers are concerned about the amount of crop production space it takes up, which is why these constructed wetlands are targeted within existing drainage areas.

“It helps minimize the amount of land taken up by their construction, as opposed to a restored wetland which can flood a whole field. Farmers don’t want to give up that much productive ground.

This specific practice works well in maintaining production levels while

This is just an unknown to a lot of farmers which is why we’re hosting these events. It’s to help them understand how it works and can benefit them,” Wade said.

Wade said there are also other benefits such as establishing pollinator habitats which helps address some other sustainability pressures that

farmers are seeing.

Jill Kostel, TWI’s senior environmental engineer, provided technical assistance to farmers and encouraged farmers to watch the construction and ask questions at any time.

Kostel said, “Constructed wetlands can get results while taking up little land. They’re small and placed in areas of less

productive farmland. It’s been shown to be highly effective at removing nutrients and putting marginal land to work for you for many years with very little maintenance.

There’s also the additional environmental benefit of providing a natural pollinator and wildlife area.”

Safe driving on Labor Day

Heartland Medallion discovered after first clue

Illinois State Police to have watchful eye for poor driving during holiday weekend

Tara Favia (second from left) was lucky person who found the Heartland Bank and Trust Co. Homestead Medallion, which was hidden inside the bell at Douglas Grade School in Princeton. Favia discovered the medallion after the first clue was given/published. Pictured with Favia are Heartland staff members DeAnn Underwood (from left), Favia, Carolyn Taylor and Ginger Freeberg. Absent from photo are Lark Fisher and Theresa Oloffson. Favia wins $1,000 in Chamber gift certificates and a ride in the Homestead Festival parade. Favia told Heartland staff members she recently graduated from University of Iowa and had returned to Princeton. She had looked for the Heartland medallion when she was in high school, but this was her first search since she returned to Princeton. After reading the first clue, the word “shout” made Favia think the medallion might be related to children playing. Since she doesn’t live far from Douglas Grade School, she decided to look there on her way home from work. Favia found the medallion wrapped in black bubble wrap and taped to the inside of the bell.

LASALLE – Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 Commander Lieutenant Victor Markowski issued a press release reminding motorists to make safety their No. 1 priority while driving during the Labor Day holiday weekend. The Labor Day weekend is a one of the busiest periods for motorists in Illinois, and everyone needs to be responsible on the roadways, he said.

The ISP encourages motorists to avoid the “fatal four” — speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving and failing to wear your seat belt — which are the most common causes of fatal traffic crashes. The release said a driver traveling at a faster speed will cover more ground and have less time to react to a road hazard, and speed adds to the severity of traffic crashes.

The ISP will be monitoring speed on Illinois roadways this holiday weekend.

Alcohol, a factor in onethird of all fatal traffic crashes, is often present during Labor Day weekend celebrations, and the

ISP encourages those who will be traveling this holiday weekend to designate a sober driver.

The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign began on Aug. 22 and concludes on Sept. 5. During the campaign, ISP officers across the state will show zero tolerance for impaired driving and seat belt law violations. Seat belt use remains the most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries in a crash, the release said.

Driving distracted takes a driver’s eyes off the road.

According to Markowski, looking at your phone for five seconds while traveling at interstate speeds is like driving the length of almost two football fields … while blindfolded. The ISP will be on the lookout for those driving distracted this holiday weekend, and advises all drivers to keep their eyes on the road, not their phone.

“The Labor Day Holiday weekend should be a time to celebrate the social and economic achievements of the United States,” Markowski said.

Chris said his mother didn’t like to drive on busy interstates and always avoided them when possible.

Padilla, however, noted there are many different ways of getting to the Morris restaurant without taking Interstate 80.

Despite that statement, Chris said his mother would never drive to Morris and believes she was abducted.

Currently, police have secured the car and Dewey’s apartment in Ladd.

“We are still working to firm up a time line as to when she was last seen and heard from,” Padilla said.

Dewey has not contacted her family or friends since last Monday. The last known communication from Dewey was through a text message sent around 7 a.m. Monday.

Padilla said police do have Dewey on security camera footage in the Spring Valley area on Monday morning, but from what can be seen, she’s doing nothing out of the ordinary.

“In fact, it’s her running errands, and it seems to be routine,” he said.

Camp Kesem offers a sanctuary of healing for the children of cancer victims

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — From every eye in the auditorium, tears flow like rainfall for the deceased and the afflicted. How can cancer be so ruthless … such a destructive thief in the night? How can I move forward carrying such a heavy heart?

A hand nudges your shoulder, and you look up to find the eyes of a 6-year-old child, extending a Kleenex to wipe away your sorrows. He smiles and points to his heart …

“Don’t cry. It’s going to be alright. They will always be there for you, just as you will always be here for me.”

When Princeton native Alyssa Thompson was a senior in high school, her father was diagnosed with cancer. She kept the situation close to chest as to avoid spreading any worry or uncertainty around the neighborhood, and surgery eradicated the disease from her father’s body forever. Or so the family dreamed.

Then, when Thompson was at Augustana College two years later, her phone rang. A mother’s loving voice stood firm and said, “Your dad found a lump …”

Camp Kesem is a national organization designed solely to offer solace and emotional salvation to children whose parent or guardian is battling cancer. The organization offers youth a week-long safe haven to be around others who understand their struggles, as well as a forum to vocalize their pain, their fears and their greatest hopes.

“I didn’t join until I was going into my junior year at Augustana, and that was partly because my dad had just finished chemotherapy and radiation in Spring 2014 during his second bout with cancer. Resulting from that, I wanted to be involved and make something positive out of it, so I joined Camp Kesem and Relay for Life,” Thompson said, speaking of her experience as a counselor at Camp Kesem.

Photo contributed

Alyssa Thompson (front row middle, holding the green K) said she is inspired by the children and her fellow counselors at Camp Kesem who have a determined attitude ... a willingness to fight with all her heart for those families affected by cancer.

Camp Kesem is free to all the children, so counselors like Thompson write letters to family and friends and host fundraisers to easily exceed the $500 they are mandated to raise to pay for the camp. She said people are very willing to give to such a cause, especially those close to her who cared for her father as she did.

Thompson assisted teenagers the last two summers — although Camp Kesem serves children age six to 16 — and said the weeks were a blend of carefree and fun activities during the day combined with “Cabin Chats” during the night — streaming connections between aching hearts that define the concepts of consolation.

“It was their time to talk about anything they wanted to,” she said, noting the subject matter was often just focused on being a growing teenager, let alone the speed of maturation due to the weight of cancer’s reality. “The biggest thing is just to let them be kids. A lot of times their situation at home doesn’t allow for that.

They’ve matured so quickly because of this experience, so to see them just play kickball or sing camp songs ... to just laugh and smile ... it’s a huge thing and very cool to see.”

Thompson said she is very fortunate with her father because many children she met have already lost one parent, or both. It’s humbling and gratifying to meet others who share your tears and anger; your optimistic demeanor; your silent stance in considering the boundaries of existence. An Empowerment Ceremony is the zenith of all heartfelt transactions during Camp Kesem.

“It’s very heavy sometimes, and as a counselor you don’t want to show the kids you’re upset, but I have a difficult time not getting emotional. A little 6-year-old will go talk, and you just break down,” Thompson said, stating she openly shared her father’s struggle for the adolescent education, and for her own relief. “Even your kids … you may go the whole week not knowing why they’re there because they don’t talk about it, and then they get up and you hear their story.”

When she got the call from her mom, Thompson was angry. She stopped complaining about trivial things. Her heart cracked at the possibility of continuing without her father, yet it drove her to find Camp Kesem — to see strength and wisdom in children faced with the

harshest lesson plan in life. The instructor found a comfortable seat in the classroom and listened to the students speak.

“These kids are at their most vulnerable moment, so giving them support is huge because if they are not able to get help who knows how they are dealing with it,” Thompson said, noting Camp Kesem also allows parents to detach from the pressure of being a provider weakened by disease. “It’s a message of hope throughout the week, and we call ourselves a CK family.”

Thompson’s father is doing well, but she admitted once cancer has entered your household, it remains like an old picture on the wall that seems to catch the eye even when you’re trying not to look.

Kesem means “magic” in Hebrew, and Thompson described the camp atmosphere as an aura that floats between the trees of the forest; a means of sustenance shared by all.

Although Thompson will miss her counseling responsibilities in the coming years, spring and fall reunions reunite her with the vibrant Camp Kesem youth she has come to appreciate so greatly.

Rosetta Von Holten

PRINCETON — Bobie Franklyn Fritz Sr., 91, of Princeton passed away peacefully Monday, Aug. 29, 2016, at his home surrounded by his family.

Bob was born Aug. 17, 1925, in Walnut to Arthur and Mary (Wangelin) Fritz. He married Marggie Lou Fundell on Feb. 25, 1944, in Lacon.

He was a previous member of the PrinceBobie Fritz ton Elks Club and Moose Club, and current Farm Bureau member.

As a young man, Bob cared for his parents and worked on the family farm. He met the love of his life, Marggie, at the Bureau County Fair ferris wheel. The two fell in love and were soon married and starting a family.

Bob was an entrepreneur. In the late 40’s he started Fritz Coal — a coal hauling business, and built his family’s first home in 1950. He was a very hard working, focused, motivated businessman. His spare time was spent with Marggie and their three daughters. There was a lot of card playing, fishing, playing ball and spending birthdays and holidays with extended family.

In the 60’s he started Fritz Construction & Excavation.

He began building residential apartments/homes, commercial buildings and working for the city with his excavating equipment. Bob and Marggie worked side by side as they built their business. They began growing their family with four more daughters. In the 70’s a son was born, making a total of eight children. Bob renamed his business Fritz & Son Construction. He also went back to the work that made him the happiest — farming.

Bob and Marggie spent their days raising their family and working hard at the same time. Bob would come home from work and sit in his recliner as his kids would rush to his chair to undo and remove his boots, roll up his pants, pull up his socks and roll his pants back down.

Then they sat on his lap to watch him play a little Solitaire to relax. He enjoyed fishing trips to Canada with friends, hosting game feeds, spending family vacation on Lake Wisconsin and playing 3-card. He smelled of Old Spice on date nights with Marggie. Now his youngest children were growing up, getting married and having more grandchildren for him to love. Most Sundays were spent at Bob and Marggie’s house for family dinner. The entire family would gather together for birthdays and holidays. Life was good.

Bob was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, friend, neighbor, farmer, contractor, entrepreneur, ambitious, dedicated, stubborn, colleague, mentor, teacher, advocate — Patriarch.

On June 26, 2008, Bob lost his beloved Marggie — his best friend, his right hand — the love of his life.

What We Think

Victory came 1 vote short; Bureau County don’t give up on redistricting Republican Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Sam R Fisher

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Make America Christian Again’ To the Editor, Rather than “Make America Great Again” Donald Trump’s message should have been “Make America Christian Again.”

Ever since Obama stated America is no longer a Christian nation, ministers, priests, abbots, and cardinals have not taken Obama to task because of political correctness. If any of these people spoke in defense of Christianity, they would have been criticized as racists by Obama and the drive-by-media.

This is what Obama has done with political correctness. It has scared the “living daylight” out of the religious communities in our country. For years, what was the law in our country — the Ten Commandments — has now been made null and void.

Among Christians, there are more damned souls than predestined souls. Saint Augustine states even more clearly, “Therefore, few are saved in comparison to those who are damned.”

The message of AKITA on Oct. 13, 1973, was to inform all, even the dinga-lings, that the laws of God (the Ten Commandments) should be adhered to, and if the moral fiber of a nation begins to collapse, then a great catastrophe

will come upon us.

If people don’t repent God will send a punishment more serious than the great flood. During the great flood, only eight people survived in the world, Noah and his family. During our time, fire will fall from the sky — most of humanity will be destroyed, even the good with the bad. Neither priests nor the faithful will be spared, and the survivors will envy the dead.

Satan’s goal is the destruction of religion and mostly the Catholic church. Attacks on the Catholic church have come in many forms — on marriage, contraception, sex, gender roles, priestly celibacy, black masses and the desecration of the images of Jesus and Mary.

Hollywood and TV have mocked traditional Catholic values, portraying a perfect Catholic family as extremists coping with anti-gay bigotry while they steal and have sex out of wedlock, plus many more episodes that convey anti-Catholic messages.

Will the worldly ding-alings have their bell rung in the end? I think not because many are called but few are chosen.

One vote is all that stood in the way of the Independent Map Amendment being approved by the Illinois Supreme Court for placement on the Nov. 8 ballot.

On a party-line ruling Thursday, the four Democratic Supreme Court justices struck down the proposed redistricting reform amendment, while the three Republican Supreme Court justices favored allowing it to go before the voters.

The Supreme Court, by its 4-3 vote, sided with a Cook County judge who had ruled the proposed constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

Thus, the second attempt in 2 years to reform a secretive redistricting process, controlled by politicians with little public involvement, which is unfair to minorities, skews election results, stifles competition, and thwarts the will of the people, has failed.

We disagreed with Cook County Judge Diane Larsen’s ruling in July.

We disagree with the Illinois Supreme Court’s ruling from last week.

Justice Thomas Kilbride, writing an opinion for the majority, centered the court’s argument on an extremely narrow interpretation of the citizen initiative portion of the Illinois Constitution.

By amending the legislative article (Article IV) through citizen initiative, Kilbride wrote, the proposed Independent Map Amendment would unconstitutionally add responsibilities to the auditor general’s office, which are set forth in Article VIII and mentioned nowhere else. (The proposal would have required the auditor general to take applications for the citizens commission and propose qualified nominees for the group.)

Because citizen initiatives are limited to make changes only to Article IV, the proposed amendment exceeds the scope of what is allowed to be amended through that process, Kilbride wrote.

“We conclude that the duties assigned to the Auditor General by the ballot initiative at issue in this

case do not comport with the strict limitations in article XIV, Section 3 [Constitutional Initiative for Legislative Article],” Kilbride wrote.

In a thorough, thoughtful and forceful dissent, Justice Lloyd Karmeier provided an opposing view.

Karmeier pointed out the current redistricting system, described in the legislative article, involves officers from all three branches of government – not just the Legislature.

In arguing that the auditor general’s role in the proposed amendment’s process was constitutional, he wrote: “Nothing in the 1970 Constitution requires that all of a constitutional officer’s responsibilities be set out in a single article, and such is certainly not the case with respect to the redistricting-related duties of this court and the Attorney General under the current redistricting mechanism.”

Point by point, over nearly 40 pages, citing the state constitution, previous cases, and statements by delegates to the 1970 Constitutional Convention, Karmeier argued it was his opinion the Independent Map Amendment indeed passed constitutional muster and should have been allowed on the ballot.

Karmeier said the majority’s interpretation in this case would basically make ballot initiatives “pointless.”

“There can be no serious dispute that the drafters and adopters of article XIV, section 3, intended for that provision to allow citizens to actually accomplish something through ballot initiatives. Plaintiff’s reading of the law, however, would allow them to accomplish nothing.”

Karmeier further wrote, “If we do not permit this ballot initiative to go forward in accordance with the law, our authority over the redistricting process and, indeed, our status as an institution, will forever be suspect.”

He’s got that right.

More than 563,000 Illinoisans who signed petitions supporting the Independent Map Amendment

have every right to suspect that the institutions of government, run by self-serving politicians, or those beholden to them, want to stifle the public’s input.

Indeed, the proposed 11-member citizen redistricting commission would have been required to be open and transparent, while removing politics and incumbency from consideration when new legislative districts are drawn every 10 years.

The current redistricting process, for 3 of the past 4 decades, was controlled by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, who used it to promote his personal political agenda (Democratic supermajorities in the House and Senate), not the interests of the public.

The latest result of Madigan’s maps will be seen by voters in the Nov. 8 election, where in election after legislative election across the state, there are no competitive races.

Dennis FitzSimons, chair of Independent Maps, said the court’s ruling was “extremely disappointing” and that drafters of the Illinois Constitution “would not recognize the interpretation” made by the Supreme Court.

So, what’s next?

FitzSimons said a rehearing of the case might be sought.

If not, redistricting reform is officially dead for 2016.

The good news is that this effort very nearly made it across the finish line.

With elections in 2018 and 2020 ahead before the next redistricting cycle, a revised redistricting reform amendment might yet be possible.

Justice Kilbride wrote, “Our decision is not intended to reflect in any way on the viability of other possible redistricting reform initiatives.”

We hope the Independent Maps group, which very nearly succeeded in 2016, will remain together, retool its proposed amendment, and push ahead for needed redistricting reforms in the future.

By Joel Quiram Princeton mayor

There are many good and positive things going on in Princeton. It is all driven by committed residents, business owners, a strong Chamber and city officials/employees; all of whom share a vision.

Yet there are individuals in the community who detract from the positive to remind us of the obvious in an attempt to hit the brakes on our

progress. But all in all, I think everyone can agree that we all want to make Princeton a great place to live, work and play ... to be the best Princeton can be.

Everyone knows we have infrastructure concerns. I have been talking about them for years, and it is why I ran for city council. Everyone can agree we would like industry/business to locate in town. If not for Illinois being at the top of the list of the least business friendly states in the union, due to corporate and business tax rates and work comp laws that are not friendly to businesses, our job would be far easier in attracting new business to the area. But do not think that we are not doing anything in the

economic development arena.

We are members of the newly-formed Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois.

Our city manager, Chamber director and I have met with Ivan Baker, the new executive director of the group. We had a positive and forward thinking discussion on our future. Our community’s strengths and our vision, all that we are currently moving toward, despite the naysayers, will place us head and shoulders above all others in our ability to attract new business.

Regarding our infrastructure. The day I was sworn in as a council member I introduced the possibility of becoming a Home Rule community. Home Rule then and

Home Rule today is, without question, the answer to our infrastructure concerns. But Home Rule was defeated in a referendum, so we moved on.

Infrastructure will always be something we need to work on and improve. Recently the city entered into an agreement with Chamlin and Associates to conduct a comprehensive sewer study and put together a plan for improving our sewer system. City staff members are working closely together to develop a 10-year capital plan for our streets, and much more is going on. We will always be focused on improving our infrastructure – that priority has never changed, just how we are going to fund those improvements has.

Now, we are on a new path. Improving our town, our Main Street corridor. Think about Galena, Geneva, Batavia and a host of other communities. Do people return to those communities just for the stores?

Would those stores exist if those towns exhibited a bland appearance?

The appearance of those towns (the landscaping, the trees, the signage and the outdoor seating) along with the attention and support the city councils and Chambers give to their Main Streets are why those stores exist and why they do so well year after year. They go hand in hand. People return to those communities, time and again, for the overall experience. We are not trying to be one of those

communities, but we are taking things that have worked for them and trying to apply some of them to Princeton.

Getting people to Princeton and creating an environment that ensures the return of tourists is what we want as well. Revenue generated by increased sales tax revenue due to more shoppers will work to improve the infrastructure that we are all concerned about. We do not have an alternative revenue source to earmark for infrastructure, so increasing the one revenue source that we can by bringing more people to town and getting them to return time and again, makes sense.

providing an experience that promotes many of them to return to Princeton. These projects will benefit our town greatly, and yet there are people in town who would rather see the projects derailed rather than succeed.

One of the reasons some are trying to derail the project is because they say we need to focus our attention on our infrastructure, and we need to bring jobs to town. They

do not understand that absent alternative revenue streams, we can’t address our infrastructure concerns to the extent that we want, and bringing jobs to the area is not as easy as they seem to think it is. They offer no ideas of their own, but they are very good at beating their drum.

Fortunately there are many more people who share our vision for Princeton’s future and

how we want to navigate in getting there, than there are naysayers. But the naysayers likely will not let up. Ignore them unless they start to offer sensible ideas and/or solutions. If they do, we’ll welcome them with open arms.

We have momentum and we’re not letting up. We’re committed to ensuring that Princeton is, and will remain, the place to be!

‘Princeton’s best kept secret’

Majestic Donuts and Pastries opens

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Majestic Donuts and Pastries opened in Princeton the end of July. A grand opening is planned in the near future.

Manager Larry Werdeniuk previously ran Nuts 4 Donuts on North Main Street in Princeton for two years.

“We are Princeton’s best kept secret,” said Werdeniuk.

Sergio and Martha Sanchez and his sister and husband, Imelda and Jose Alfaro, are the owners of Majes-

tic Donuts and Pastries, now with a location in Princeton and Peru. The Peru store opened for business in March 2014.

“We have the same quality of items here as over there,” Sanchez said. “We make them over there, and Larry decorates them here.”

“We steadily built up a good Princeton client base at the Peru location,” said Sergio. “We met with Bob Walters of Princeton, a steady customer, who one day asked us to come to Princeton.”

Walters knew Werdeniuk and said he had a friend who used to run a donut store in Princeton.

“We met in November 2015, and I told them if still interested to call me after the holidays,” recalled Sergio. “After meeting earlier this year,

we decided to go ahead. Larry found this location in April and took three to four weeks to clean and paint the interior of the place with the assistance of Allison Wilkinson.”

After the grand opening, the shop will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be closed on Mondays.

“We sincerely appreciate the open arms we have received since opening and have been very successful,” said Sanchez.

Sanchez said future plans are to possibly to serve lunches once the business gets more established.

Majestic Donuts and Pastries in Peru has a taco night once a month on the second Friday.

OGLESBY — The new Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDC) has a new office that just opened in Suite E323 of the Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby. CEO Ivan Baker has been on the job for more than a month, while executive assistant Gina Czubachowski began work on Aug. 15.

Baker is a certified economic developer, certified planner, and fellow member of economic development with more than 35 years of experience working in seven states. Originally from rural Kansas and a graduate of Washburn University, he has coordinated team-efforts that resulted in more than $2.5 billion in new industrial and commercial capital investment and more than 30,000 new jobs.

Czubachowski is a native of LaSalle, a certified professional community and economic developer, a graduate of Illinois State University, and an experienced business specialist with the Illinois Small Business Development Center.

“It is an exciting time for the organization and the region,” said Jim Riley, chairman of the EDC. “We are working together to establish a professional marketing program, so that we can achieve our mission.”

The mission of the EDC is “to create shared prosperity and economic opportunity in the region by aggressively marketing locational advantages for business investment.” The 13-member board of directors is current-

ly meeting twice a month working on the EDC strategic plan.

“We have a great story to tell,” said Baker. “We have the opportunity to build our image and convince decision-makers that North Central Illinois is the place to be for making more profits. Our citizens and our children deserve our best efforts to attract more jobs and business growth.”

The EDC has established a public-private partnership, supported by business and government leaders throughout Putnam, Bureau and LaSalle counties.

Heartland donates to PHS

PRINCETON—Heartland Bank and Trust Co. presented a $550 donation to Princeton High School for orders placed for the school’s Spirit Debit Cards.

“Offering optional designs on debit cards may be new, but customers have been doing it for years on their checks,” stated Diane Lanier, chief retail officer.

“With the world going more electronic and a continued focus on the environment, we wanted to offer our customers personal options on their debit cards other than our standard design.”

Heartland Bank’s Spirit Debit Card program currently features 53 local schools with the school’s

team mascot or crest as an optional design for the face of the card. More than just a custom card design program, the Spirit Debit Cards also support local schools.

“Heartland Bank is proud to offer Spirit Debit Cards,” said Fred Drake, chairman and CEO. “We are always looking for ways to reach out to our communities and show our support. Heartland Bank is excited to offer this new customized option to our customers and financially assist the school of their choice as well.”

This option will allow customers to select the school design of their choice for a $10 cost, and Heartland Bank will donate

$5 back to the school for each debit card ordered.

A standard debit card is still available without customization at no charge.

Customers can order this option through Heartland Bank’s website at www. hbtbank.com or contact one of their local offices.

The full list of participating schools is available on the Heartland Bank website.

“We are excited to be presenting a donation to Princeton High School from Heartland Bank Spirit Debit Card orders,” stated Sara Hudson, retail manager for Heartland Bank. “The response from the community in support of Princeton High School is truly remarkable.”

BOSTON, Mass. – With summer drawing to a close, motorists have enjoyed the cheapest summer at the pump since 2004, saving $18.9 billion over its duration versus last summer, a sweet note as they take to the roads to celebrate Labor Day. “As the holiday approaches, it’s true that gasoline prices have risen across the country due in part to rumors of production cuts from OPEC which could begin to correct the balance of supply and demand, but take note — it could be just the third time in a decade prices are rising ahead of Labor Day,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “While today’s trend may lead to some frustration, gas prices are likely to soon revert, leaving behind what has been the cheapest summer at the pump in over a decade.”

According to GasBuddy analysts, gasoline prices have remained low even in light of high

rent national average of $2.21 per gallon and far lower than prices during the early part of the decade.

GasBuddy data shows since 2005, gas prices between the end of August and Labor Day have dropped seven out of 10 times, with prices averaging a 2-cent decline. The largest jump was in 2005 when gas prices shot up 20 cents as Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. and oil rigs in the Gulf.

With the conclusion of Labor Day weekend comes the end of the summer driving season in the world’s largest gasoline consuming country, setting the stage for gasoline demand and prices to fall. In addition, EPA’s summer gasoline requirements end Sept. 15 in much of the nation, opening the door for cheaper winter gasoline to return to pumps — a double whammy of downward pressure just in time for autumn — a yearly trend that’s unphased by upcoming elections.

gasoline demand due to rampant oil production, leading supply to outpace demand for several years, causing oil inventories to bulge and depressing oil prices. In addition, as U.S. production has increased over the last several years, oil producing countries have been fighting to win back market share. Saudi Arabia was a key player in driving oil prices down by announcing a new strategy to pump as much as they could late in 2014. The downturn accelerated when sanctions on Iran were eased, leading Iran to boost production and fight for market share against Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The U.S. national average for a gallon of gasoline is likely to close out the summer driving season having averaged $2.24 per gallon compared to 2015’s summer average of $2.70 per gallon. For Labor Day, GasBuddy expects the national average to be $2.19 per gallon, a slight decrease versus the cur-

Volleyball: Hall 2, Bureau Valley 1

Lady Devils edge Storm

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

(4-2-2), who have lost two straight after a 3-0-2 showing at the Oregon Tournament this past weekend.

Schenck put in an equalizer off a Juan Robledo assist with 4 minutes, 45 seconds gone from 14 yards out for a tie at 1-1. The ball dribbled slowly past Sterling keeper James Roddy for about 10 of those yards.

“As far as playing on a pitch like this,” Schenck said, “we go out to what we call a cabbage patch every day, and it’s long.

We’re not used to playing on [turf].

“It’s a lot faster. The grass is shorter, the balls are faster, and it rained. It’s a much faster game on turf.”

MANLIUS — It took three games, but the Hall Lady Devils eventually squeaked out a 25-11, 23-25, 25-18 victory over Three Rivers Athletic Conference opponent Bureau Valley Storm Tuesday, Aug. 30, in the Storm Cellar.

The Lady Devils appeared to be firmly in the driver’s seat after dispatching the Storm 25-11 on the backs of excellent service by junior setter Emma Taliani and sophomore setter Gertie Savitch. Each got on a roll for the Red Devils in the first set as Taliani strung together three points from the service line and Savitch rattled off four points in a row, including an ace to put Hall way out front 23-8.

Hall got off to a 3-1 lead in the second set, but let the Storm hang around until junior Christen Hurley got the ball down 6-7 and dropped three points in to give Bureau Valley momentum to open the game 16-9.

“We played well with our intensity, and when Game 2 came around, we kind of settled our nerves and I saw glimpses of what we’ll need to do in October,” BV coach Caitlyn DeMay said. “We’re kind of a roller coaster right

Sterling wins turf wars over Tigers

By Cody Cutter sports@bcrnews.com

STERLING — Sterling’s Roscoe Eades soccer pitch is much different than Princeton’s Bryant Field, and the Princeton soccer team figured that out the hard way in Sterling on Tuesday evening.

The first match of the Tigers’ season on turf proved to be troublesome in a 6-1 loss.

Pouring rain toward the end of the junior varsity match made the artificial surface slippery, but the Golden Warriors have been there and done that many times to make it seem natural.

Bruins out to slow Storm down

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Just when you think you’ve got the Bureau Valley Storm all figured out, they come out and show they’ve got more than one way to beat you.

The Storm shined by ground and by air en route to a 47-13 win over Erie/Prophetstown in last week’s season opener.

Junior quarterback Drake Davis lived up to his billing with an 11-19 passing night, good for 201 yards and one touchdown. But he also teamed up with senior running back Caje Peterson (14109) to combine for 214 yards and five

touchdowns rushing. The Storm finished the night with 248 yards rushing and six scores.

St. Bede coach Jim Eustice, whose Bruins will travel to Bureau Valley Friday for the BCR Game of the Week, said that’s what makes the Storm such a difficult matchup, you have to defend both their passing and rushing.

“They have a huge line on both sides of the ball, and their offense is incredibly difficult to defend. They pose a lot of problems for us with their diversity on offense and their size and physicality on defense.”

Storm coach Spencer Davis said it was

a good all-around game for the Storm including their backs, receivers and line.

“Obviously, we know we can pass the ball. Drake can throw, we’ve got good wide receivers, Caje had a great game, kept his legs pumping and had some nice runs. ... We played really physical defensively; that was the difference in the game,” Davis said.

Racking up a lot of yards and points in multiple ways, however, is really nothing new for the Storm, Davis noted. They ran the ball well last year with the graduated Will Konneck racking up yards in

From Page 11 now, but we’ll look to plateau at a higher playing level later in the season.”

The Lady Devils eventually evened the score at 23, and despite dropping the second set, the momentum had firmly shifted from the Storm back to Hall.

“Our big thing is staying aggressive,” Hall senior Jenna Lusietto said. “No matter what’s happening, we keep swinging and we stay aggressive.”

After BV failed to score on its serve to start the third set, Hall senior Madi Quinn took the momentum that her team had begun to build up at the end of the second set and rattled off six service points in a row to give Hall a comfortable 7-0 lead.

Hall would lead by as many as nine in the final set and never let the Storm get within five as they coasted in the final set.

“It works better for us when we get that head start and from there, it’s pretty easy,” Lusietto said. “We’re starting to get it into our heads that we can play and it makes everything a lot easier.”

Savitch added seven aces from the service line and 17 set attempts, while junior libero Madi Soldati had 12 digs.

BV’s Saige Barnett had five kills, four blocks and a

LaMoille/Ohio swept both matches at the underclass level, winning the freshman match 25-7, 29-27 and the sophomore match 25-18, 25-10.

The Princeton Tigers fell behind 4-0 and it was too deep of a hole to dig out of Monday, Aug. 29 against United Township at East Moline.

The Panthers scored four goals before the Tigers got on the board on an unassisted goal

by Brett Schenck in the 34th minute. Schenck added a second goal in the 70th minute, assisted

by Jayden Pinter to make the final score 4-2, UT. “We started the match a little nervous, and gave the ball away too easily. Too many mistakes in the first half and a good team like UTHS will make you pay,” PHS coach David Gray said. “We settled down and played much better toward the end of the first half and gained a little confidence with Brett’s goal going in to half time.

I feel like we outplayed them in the second half, but the three-goal deficit was too much to make up. We talked at halftime about our goal being to win the second half, and the boys fought and worked and were able to do that. I am very proud of this team. They have worked extremely hard in the last week.”

PHS freshman keeper Ian Sampson made 12 saves on 22 shots.

East Moline won the F/S match 7-0.

BCR insider: The Tigers will venture away from the home comforts of Bryant Field for the first time in eight games. They finished the 2015 slate with six straight home dates, three in the postseason, and opened at home last week. Their last road trip was highly successful when they shut out Newman 14-0 at Sterling in Week 6 last year. ... While happy with last week’s 40-20 opening win over Riverdale, PHS coach Jesse Snyder said he was not satisfied. He challenged his squad to come out and get better in practice and clean up the mistakes they had. ... Morrison’s numbers (25) are up in the varsity camp which has created a more competitive practice atmosphere, coach Cory Bielema said. They have 14 returning lettermen in with four starters on offense and five on defense. ...The Tigers have now won two straight over the Mustangs and stand 2-1 overall against them since joining the Three Rivers. The last time the Tigers traveled to Morrison, they lost 46-0 in 2013. ... Morrison has won state titles as recent as 2009 and 2011, but has won just six games total in the past three seasons.

BCR insider: The Red Devils continued its dominance of the Rockets last year, but could have its hands full sending such a young squad over to enemy lines. Hall must do a much better job of taking care of the football this week if it wants to get anything going. It turned the ball over five times against Fulton last week and the Steamers capitalized nearly each time. Hall coach Randy Tieman praised his team for never giving up. “We have to keep improving and playing hard. We are very inexperienced as far as playing in a varsity game. This group of kids are hard workers and they will get better each week,” he said. ... The Rockets did not get off to a strong start as well, falling to Newman 36-13 in a game that started Saturday and ended Sunday on account of weather.

Tieman said the Rockets have good speed and run the ball very well. “Their quarterback is more of a runner than a thrower. It’s always a challenge playing them,” Tieman said. Rockridge QB Michael Griffin threw for 97 yards and

ran for 78 against Newman.

Soccer From Page 11 Princeton coach David Gray also admitted to the turf being a factor in the Tigers’ loss.

“We never adjusted to the surface,” Gray said. “This is the first time these guys have played on it this year. That’s part of it, and we were never really able to hold any possessions. We were chasing the game the whole time.”

Princeton had trouble putting together shots against a swarming Golden Warriors’ midfield, having been out-shot 14-5 in the first half, and could only put together one shot in the final 40 minutes.

Tony Diaz, Sterling’s all-time leading scorer, took care of much of the Golden Warriors’ offense. He nailed the first of four goals nearly three minutes after Schenck’s successful shot.

Adrian Herrera added the other for Sterling.

The Golden Warriors used its speed to play keep-away throughout much of the second half.

“We had to keep doing what we

were doing at the end of the first half,” Diaz said, “except clean it up, clean up the simple things — our passing and trapping. Once we did that, we were able to open them up and make everything a lot easier.

“It was a good team win. We were able to adjust from the halftime adjustments that coach wanted, and he was happy about it.”

Sterling tallied 26 total shots, 15 of which were on-target.

“We never made them defend for any length of time,” Gray said. “They kept us spread out and exposed us. It’s a good team, so if we don’t make them defend, it’s going to be very difficult.”

The match was the only regular-season one the Tigers will play on turf. That, and a busy week made this match even more difficult. They played seven matches in the past five days.

“They’re gassed,” Gray said. “We shouldn’t hang our heads too low. It wasn’t our best evening. I don’t want to make excuses, but it was a tough task for us after a few days.”

• Condolences: I want to pass on my condolences to the family and friends of Bob Noel, who passed away last week. Bob, who I fondly called Jimmy Johnson for his uncanny resemblance to the former Dallas Cowboys coach, was a fixture for the Methodist Church League team’s dynasty in the late ‘80s. He played a mean hot corner Here’s a bit of trivia for you Church League fans: Name the usual starting lineup for the Methodist

teams that Bob played with.
