The dollars and cents of Homestead Homestead Festival requires sound financial planning to run smoothly By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Homestead Festival parade is expected to attract more than 7,000 visitors Saturday, and the weekend’s big ticket item takes extensive planning and a hefty chunk of cash to run smoothly. Rick Clary, one of the Homestead Festival managers, said those who plan the festival each year typically meet the week after the festivities to begin planning for next year’s event. Official planning begins Jan. 1 of each year, nine months in advance of the actual event. “In 2015, the total expenses were right at $29,000 to put everything on — with the parade and entertainment expenses typically costing $10,000 to $12,000 a year,” Clary said, putting much of the additional costs on advertising expenses and other supplies like brochures and sound systems to run the parade. “Sometimes people might think the South Shore Drill Team or the Jesse White Tumblers just show up because they enjoy the event, but we pay them to be part of the parade,” he said, noting many of the marquee parade events are paid to attend and walk in the parade. Local parade participants can access a parade entry form by visiting the city website, Clary said, and he noted the importance of securing the marquee participants early rather than waiting until a month or two before contacting them. When it comes to raising funds for Homestead Festival, Clary said there are individuals and businesses who sponsor specific parade entries, and the Homestead Lawn Event serves as a fundraiser at the beginning of summer which supplements the end of

PRINCETON — It’s come down to Princeton City Council agreeing to disagree on whether or not tourism funds can be used for Main Street improvements. On Tuesday, the council voted 3-2 to authorize the use of those funds to plant trees along Main Street. Commissioners Bob Warren and Laura Favia voted no. Mayor Joel Quiram clarified the trees being planted on South Main Street were covered by donations, and the vote was to use anywhere between $3,000 and $5,000 of tourism funds

for improvements to the corner lot on Elm Place and North Main Street. Warren and Favia have taken the stance that tourism dollars cannot legally be spent on Main Street improvements. During a special meeting held Aug. 20, Warren asked for a legal opinion on how those funds can be spent, after challenging the idea of using it for streetscape improvements. He said the law clearly states those dollars are meant to attract overnight visitors to Princeton, and it’s a stretch that trees on Main Street would attract visitors. At that meeting, Favia agreed and said the

Welcome Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin Rezin is keynote speaker for Women of Distinction luncheon By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin has served in her state office seat since 2010. She represents all or parts of Bureau, Grundy, LaSalle, Kendall, Livingston, Putnam and Will counties. Illinois Valley Living Magazine, the Bureau County Republican, the Putnam County Record and The Tonica News are happy to announce Rezin has confirmed she will be the keynote speaker at the annual Women of Distinction awards luncheon on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Rezin is a 2015 Women of Distinction award winner. Rezin’s hometown is Geneseo, however, she now resides in Morris with her husband, Keith, four children and three dogs — all labs, one brown, one black and one yellow. Rezin attended Augustana College and graduated with a degree in international business and political science with a minor in Hispanic studies. As an Illinois senator, Rezin said one of her most important responsibilities is to represent her constituents and their values. “This means fighting for them and what they deem important in Springfield,

Women From Page 1 2013, Illinois Valley Living magazine received numerous nominations this year. The judges clearly had their work cut out for them, as they read and reread each nomination received for deserving women throughout the Illinois Valley. The judges made their selections using a number system. The numbers were then tallied, and the aforementioned women collectively received the highest totals from the judges.

while also helping them with state-related problems,” Rezin said, adding other responsibilities include being a public voice for her constituents in Springfield; communicating regularly with constituents, educational leaders and local, state and federal leaders about issues; meeting with everyday families/workers; and visiting business/ job creators. “I love this job because not only do I get to meet so many wonderful people and travel throughout our great district, but I get to represent them,” she said. Rezin said one of the opportunities associated with her position is to help ideas become a reality for the district

and the state, whether it’s local economic issues, the state’s educational system, roads, making government more efficient, and more. “Being able to help people is something I care deeply about. It’s a privilege my role allows me to do that on a daily basis,” Rezin said.

Besides her work as a state senator, Rezin said she enjoys spending time with her family and making memorable experiences with family and friends. She also enjoys riding her bike long distances and is a runner as well. Her advice to others — specifically women in the workplace — is simple:

Work harder than anyone else. “Having a bad experience should not be looked at as a burden or a stumbling block,” Rezin said. “Look at it as a learning experience and take that experience to grow from it. Look at challenges as a positive, not as a road block. Don’t be limited by

your surroundings.” Rezin will address the crowd at this year’s Women of Distinction awards luncheon. See the accompanying story for details on tickets and activities during this special event to honor area women. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

“This was quite a task,” said one of the judges, a former Women of Distinction winner. “All of the ladies who were nominated were so deserving of this award. It was difficult to select my winners, but after I was finished, it became clear all the ladies who were nominated were winners. Every lady nominated was a winner in her own right. The Illinois Valley is lucky to have so many women who make a difference in the lives of other people.” All of the 2016 Women of Distinction winners — as

well as all women in general — will be honored at a luncheon set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens in rural Princeton. The facility is located at 22937 County Road 1140 North. The event includes keynote speaker and former Women of Distinction award winner Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin; a catered luncheon; an opportunity to hear from all the 2016 Women of Distinction; an awards ceremony; plenty of door prizes; networking opportunities; a goodie

bag; and much more. The public is invited. Tickets are available at the Bureau County Republican newspaper, located at 800 Ace Road. The cost of each ticket is $28 and includes all the aforementioned activities. The newspaper/magazine accepts cash, check and credit cards. You can reserve your tickets by phone by calling 815-875-4461, ext. 6320, or you can fill out the form located in upcoming editions of this newspaper and mail it with payment to Illinois Valley Living, P.O. Box

340, Princeton, IL 61356. There will be no refunds given. Seats are limited. “As always, this will be a great event,” said Illinois Valley Living Editor Terri Simon. “Like winners from the past, the 2016 Women of Distinction are such great role models. I’ve enjoyed speaking with each and every one of them. Without exception, all of our Women of Distinction award winners were humbled and quite surprised to learn they had won. I think everybody — women and men alike — are going to enjoy meeting

these fabulous women. “Also, I am excited to have Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin be our keynote speaker this year,” Simon continued. “Not only is she a great role model for women, she has worked tirelessly for the benefit of all Illinois citizens. “All in all, it’s going to be a day to remember. I hope you’ll join us in celebrating the women of the Illinois Valley and beyond who have truly made a difference in the lives of others,” Simon said. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Tourism $$$ From Page 1 city should focus on bringing industry to town that would grow Princeton’s population and tax dollars, which would then benefit Main Street. Following that Aug. 20 meeting, Warren sought legal advice. On Tuesday, he said the statute states, “Tourism funds are to attract non-resident overnight visitors to the municipality.” He said the legal advice also suggested the city should document the items spent with the funds. “I think we’ve failed to do that,” he said, adding the money spent on Main Street improvements would count as misappropriating funds. Mayor Joel Quiram, along with Commissioners Ray Mabry and Jerry Neumann, have been proponents of using the monies for aesthetic improvements in Princeton’s main corridor. Their argument is that a beautified Main Street is what would attract people to the town to shop, eat and stay. They’ve had the stance the law on tourism dollars is subjective. “A good-looking streetscape promotes tourism,” Mabry said on Tuesday, adding at the end of the day it’s all about how the law

Homestead Festival fun kicked off early this year on Thursday with a Main Street concert, where event-goers enjoyed a Bruce Springsteen tribute band, dubbed Glory Days — ironically the same name as the theme of this year’s Homestead Festival.

Homestead From Page 1 summer festival. “Another way is to buy 50/50 tickets. Last year the winner took home over $7,000, and the community received the same amount,” Clary said, noting booths selling the tickets will be located along the parade route both Friday and Saturday. Fellow Homestead Festival manager Tracy Makransky said volunteers make the wheels go ‘round throughout the weekend, and it takes a great amount of

hard work behind the scenes to bring the streets to life during Princeton’s biggest yearly celebration. Clary said Homestead Festival brings the entire community together to enjoy what’s great about Princeton and the Bureau County area. “There’s nothing better than growing up and raising a family in a small community, and we have a lot of tradition and history within Bureau County,” he said. “This is a perfect way to help celebrate that.” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews. com.

is interpreted. In other news, the council: • Unanimously approved to extend a contract for two months with GovTemps USA to allow Bob Nowak, the city’s temporary financial manager, to continue his work. Nowak has been working to sort out the city’s finances and accounting system. The extension period will allow Nowak to finish his projects. The city pays Nowak $70 an hour, not to exceed 40 hours a month. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance that would allow the city to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for police dispatch services with BuEComm. A second and final reading of the ordinance will be voted on at the Sept. 19 meeting. This will allow BuEComm to take over Princeton Police Department’s dispatch services for $34,000 annually. Currently, the city pays Bureau County $32,000 for the city’s dispatch services after Princeton Police Department’s office hours. • Re-appointed Terry Himes to the board of Fire and Police Commissioners for a three-year term and appointed Tracy Grimmer to the Industrial Development Commission for a three-year term.

Meeting Minutes claim for transportation Ohio High School can reimbursement.

OHIO — The Ohio High School Board met in regular session on Aug. 22, and conducted the following business: • Approved the tentative Fiscal Year 2017 budget for public display. The budget hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26, with the regular meeting to follow. • Approved Jennifer Hamilton and Jason Wilt as qualified evaluators. • Approved setting the high school graduation date for Saturday, May 20. • Approved the concussion oversight committee plan and the emergency action plan. Superintendent’s Report: • CTS, a mechanical engineering company, completed a walk through the Ohio Schools. CTS is a consulting firm that provides a comprehensive evaluation of the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and any other necessary repairs and renovation needs. In addition, they will identify needs of concern (asbestos) and provide a comprehensive report for the building committee to review. • The 10-year life safety report has not been completed or submitted. The district is working with the architect to complete and submit the report to the ROE. • Currently the district does not receive reimbursement from the state for two of the buses; in addition one of the mini buses needs a significant amount of repairs. The large bus did not pass inspection and will require significant repairs before it will meet safety requirements. Midwest Bus is preparing an estimate for the cost of leasing two new buses and the trade in value for three of the buses. If the district leases two new buses, it will be able to depreciate the cost of the lease and the maintenance costs. Hamilton will continue working with Midwest and will present exact costs for the district and the amount the district

• After reviewing past board notes, it was discovered the bleacher project was not approved by the board. The total cost for new bleachers is $64,000 and will be split between the two districts. This cost is only for the purchase of new bleachers and installation; it does not include removing the old bleachers, installation of the electrical components required for opening and closing of the new bleachers, or the cost of repairing the damaged wood floor and refinishing the entire floor. The board has discussed using volunteers to remove the old bleachers to save money. The grade school board did approve the project, but it is pending high school board approval. Since there is a concern with liability, the high school board would like an itemized quote with removal of old bleachers included. The high school board also expressed concerns about scheduling and completing the science room project. • The window project is complete. • Enrollment is 64 students in the grade school and 42 students in the high school. Principal’s Report: • Jason Wilt was pleased with the Back-to-School Night Off turnout. He thanked the grade school teachers who put it together on their free time. • Volleyball and football practices have started. There are six girls on the volleyball team and two boys on the football team.

Welcome to Homestead It’s always my pleasure to welcome everyone to the annual Homestead Festival — a fun-filled event that draws so many to the area to celebrate that common thread among us ... Princeton and Bureau County. On behalf of the Bureau County Republican and myself ... welcome home, friends. Merriam-Webster — in all of its seemingly infinite wisdom — simply defines the word “homestead” as a home and adjoining land occupied by a family and/or an ancestral home. While that definition seems like an adequate representation of the word, I think for this community, as well as for each and every one of you/us, the word homestead Terri Simon at this time of year generates feelings that cause our hearts to do a bit of a flip-flop, our souls to stir and our minds to take more than one trip down that proverbial Memory Lane. While it’s no surprise the name of this annual festival was derived from the Lovejoy Homestead and its important place in our local and national history, there are also so many more elements now associated with this festival and the people who attend. While I’m always thrilled to learn of the newcomers who attend Homestead and who visit Princeton for this festival or any other time of the year, I can’t help but think of all the folks who used to live in Princeton who travel back “home” to celebrate — whether with a class reunion, to visit family and friends or just to give your memory a good dose of your hometown. If you were born and raised here ... if you attended school here ... if you lived here for a while and then moved on ... Princeton/Bureau County helped you create memories, and as you return, I know those recollections will come flooding back, probably from a place in time when life was much more simple and the ways and woes of the world weren’t so complicated. As you head into Princeton, cross the tracks and proceed on Main Street, I know you’ll be wide-eyed as you search for the familiar and quickly spot that which is new. You’ll see how things have changed, and you’ll see how things have remained the same. You will probably be talking out loud to those in your vehicle as you drive on Main Street ... or maybe you’ll just be silent as you allow the memories to flood your soul. You’ll remember laughter, tears, joy and pain. You’ll think of people who haven’t crossed your mind in years, and you’ll embrace the person you were when you called this community your home. You’ll probably take a trip past the schools you attended. You’ll drive by the home where you once lived and the homes of where your friends lived. You’ll take a slow cruise through City-County Park, and perhaps you’ll take a stroll up and down the business districts on Main Street, as the memories return time and time again. While the Chocolate Shoppe, the Swedish Cup, the Loading Zone, Mr. Quick, Burger Inn, the Frost Top, the A&W, the Custard Corner, Sarah’s Somewhere Else no longer exist, you’ll probably find a new place to sit and sip a cup of coffee or a cold drink, as you reminisce with family and friends. While you’ll speak of the past, inside you’ll attempt to figure out how those days of long ago have forever changed your present and your future. I hope the smiles outweigh any other emotion. If you’re headed to a class reunion, you’ll see the barriers that separated us long ago have vanished, and while everyone has changed, you still hold something in common that can never be erased by time. You’ll grieve for those you’ve lost, and you’ll celebrate those who remain. And when the Homestead Festival is finished, and you leave the place you once called home, I hope you’ll depart with another pocketful of memories. I urge you to keep those moments close to your heart and revisit them often; they are important and are what keeps you coming home to Princeton and its annual Homestead Festival. Have a great weekend ... and welcome home, my friends. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzz ... “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer,” are the timeless words that Michael Corleone uttered in the 1974 Academy Award Best Picture winner, “The Godfather Part II.” No truer words have ever been spoken. Right now, as I write this dumb column, my sworn enemy is extremely close. In fact, he’s in my right ear. I absolutely detest, abhor and vehemently Greg hate mosquitoes. My fam- Wallace ily and I live on a farm, and I don’t know if it’s just us, but we have recently experienced an outbreak of the little pests. Evidently, the proper atmospheric conditions have conspired to make the perfect mosquito breeding ground. If I walk outside, a cloud of the satanic insects will rise from the grass and proceed to drive me completely nuts. As I sit at this electronic keyboard with Lucifer whispering in my ear, I go to the mighty Wikipedia to become more knowledgeable about my foe. From what I’ve read, and I quote, “Mosquitoes are small, midgelike flies that constitute the family Culicidae. Females of most species are ectoparasites, whose tube-like mouthparts pierce the hosts’ skin to consume blood. Thousands of species feed on the blood of various kinds of hosts, mainly vertebrates, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even some kinds of fish. Some mosquitoes also attack invertebrates, mainly arthropods. The saliva of the mosquito often causes an irritating rash that is a serious nuisance. Much more serious though, are the roles of many species of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases.

In passing from host to host, some transmit extremely harmful infections such as malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, Zika virus and other arboviruses, rendering it the deadliest animal family in the world.” (Writing is much easier when you let Wikipedia do it for you.) I am not an insect kind of guy. I don’t like gnats, flies, ants, ladybugs, spiders, caterpillars, centipedes, millipedes, roaches, grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, bees, wasps or anything of the like. Moths and butterflies freak me out a little too. But, I have always especially despised mosquitoes. I can remember as a child, sitting sprawled out on the living room floor, watching my parents’ black and white RCA Victor television. Possibly on Saturday nights, possibly between episodes of “Mannix” and “The Carol Burnett Show,” my family might possibly see a commercial provided by the Off Insect Repellent company, a division of Johnson Wax. On this particular television advertisement, I can remember a scientific-looking guy rolling up his shirt sleeve to expose his bare forearm, and then sticking his naked appendage into a glass aquarium full of mosquitoes that would descend upon his arm like there was no tomorrow. He would then pull his arm out, spray it down with “Off” and jam it back in the aquarium to show how effective of a repellent the product was. As an innocent, wide-eyed youth, basking in the warm glow of that television screen, I couldn’t help but think, “What an idiot!” and “Why would someone have an aquarium full of mosquitoes?” and “What the heck did they do with the fish?” I was

an inquisitive little angel. As I sit here tonight doing my research on the dreaded little beasts, Beelzebub has now made it over to my left ear where he is currently buzzing. I’ve tried to violently swat him on several occasions, but alas, my buggy assassination attempts have gone unfulfilled and have left me with a dull ringing in both ears along with freshly-slapped cheeks. I appear to be losing this battle. My opponent is buzzing with laughter. And speaking of that stupid buzz, how can a creature that is so small in stature make that much noise? It doesn’t make sense. I suspect tiny, amplified kazoos are involved. But even in this dark hour, I am not without hope. Did you know that there is an American Mosquito Control Association? According to their website, the AMCA, founded in 1935, is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing leadership, information and education leading to the enhancement of public health and quality of life through the suppression of mosquitoes. Where do I sign up? But for now, I will spend these last warm, humid days of summer lurking inside my house, pricing bee-keeper suits on E-Bay and looking up Carol Burnett clips on YouTube, waiting for the first hard frost to come and lay waste to the present mosquito population. When that day does arrive, I might just strip down to my underwear, go out on the lawn, giggle uncontrollably and roll around in a frolicking manner. Neighbors, consider yourselves duly warned. I don’t expect the same reaction as last time. You can contact Wallace at gregwallaceink7@gmail.com.

Headlines from the past It’s time again, friends, for another edition of Headlines from the past ... BCR Oct. 31, 1929. Headline: “Speculators Hit by Stock Market Crash.” It took only a few hours for the stock market crash on Wall and LaSalle Street to become news in Bureau County. It’s hard to say how hard the investors in Bureau County have been Todd Borsch hit, but security owners were far from wiped out. Local banks reported a heavy demand for funds as stockholders took advantage of the break and scooped up bargains in the stock market. BCR Nov. 14, 1929. “Short Change Artist Sentenced to 30 Days.” Laura Scott, a blond beauty, has been sentenced after pleading guilty before Judge Reck of Ottawa. Scott, a beautiful red-head (which is it, blond or redhead?) from Minneapolis, will expend her beauty on LaSalle County Jail for the next 30 days. Scott, along with her escort Donald Burke, were arrested on Oct. 19 for swindling Ottawa merchants. Miss Scott was said to have almost lost her mask of indifference when the judge threatened her with a year’s confinement and a $200 fine. It was reported Scott said, “But we have an agreement with the state’s

attorney” in which the judge retorted, “Agreements have no weight in this courtroom.” The 25-year-old Scott breathed a heavy sigh of relief when she was sentenced to only 30 days in the LaSalle County Jail. Scott was found guilty of obtaining $10 from Frank Peterson of the Leader Furniture Co. BCR Jan. 20, 1966.

Conserve Illinois: Managing nutrients leads to better yields, cleaner water Nutrients can help or harm, either leading to bountiful harvests or contributing to water quality issues. How we manage nutrients affects how much is taken up by plants and how much is lost from our farm fields. Nutrients come from many sources in rural, suburban and urban America. Farmers play an important role in finding solutions to prevent nutrients from making their way into our streams, rivers and other water bodies. Producers across the U.S. and here in Illinois help improve water quality by managing nutrients, using the right kind, the right amount, applied at the right time and using the proper method of application. Plants need nutrients to develop properly. On farms, nutrients are often provided through fertilizer, manure and compost. As the nation’s private lands conservation agency, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service helps producers use nutrients wisely — through a conservation practice called nutrient management. Nutrient management allows farmers to achieve optimal agricultural and economic outcomes

while improving the quality of air, soil and water. Through nutrient management, farmers perform a soil or plant tissue test to determine nutrient needs and apply only the amount needed to optimize crop yields. To improve timing, nutrients should be applied when plants can best absorb them, while considering factors like weather, irrigation events and crops that will follow. Sometimes it’s best to split nutrient applications to increase the chances of nutrient uptake by the crop while minimizing losses through runoff and leaching. Nutrients can also be managed through other conservation practices like managing more crop residue on the soil surface and planting cover crops. By maintaining more crop residue on the soil surface and by planting cover crops, the soil is less likely to erode. When soil erodes, it takes nutrients with it. In the past two years, producers worked with NRCS to implement nutrient management on more than 3.5 million acres in the country, including nearly 30,000 acres in Illinois. Managing nutrients comes with benefits for the producer, too; seeing cost savings from

Erika Turner COMMENTARY lower inputs and potential yield increases, thus creating a win-win situation. High concentrations of nutrients in water, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, can be harmful to humans, animals and aquatic life. When the runaway nutrients reach estuaries, they can lead to hypoxic zones, or oxygen-depleted waters. The Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico experience hypoxic events every summer. With 88 percent of surface water falling on private land before it reaches our lakes, streams and underground aquifers, private landowners, like farmers and ranchers, play an important role in decreasing the amount of nutrients in our waterways. If you want more information, stop by our local field office, located at 312 E. Backbone Road. Erika Turner is the district conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Princeton Field Office.

Moms on maternity Oh baby! Coaches take a timeout from the game By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Volleyball coaches are tuned in to the 12 to 15 girls making up their team each season. For three months of the calendar, from August to October, and even longer when you include the time spent in the offseason over the summer, those girls are their kids. Two area coaches added another member to their teams this summer with the arrival of their first child.

Baby makes 3

First-year Bureau Valley Storm coach Caitlyn (Corwin) DeMay, and her husband, Adam, welcomed a baby girl, Rilynn Marie, into the world Aug. 4 on the eve of the fall season. She was 20.5 inches long and 7 pounds, 15.9 ounces. DeMay started the school year on maternity leave at her new job at Bureau Valley South and is due to begin teaching at the end of September after an eightweek absence. She is vastly enjoying her motherhood. “I am eager to get back to the swing of things, but for now I am going to enjoy my last couple weeks with my little one. You only get this time once with your new baby,” DeMay said. Maddux Bell entered the world July 15, 2016, a year that promises to be historic for the Chicago Cubs and their fans. He was born to Putnam County coach Amy Bell and her husband, Jared. With mom and dad both Cubbie fans, the Bells made a pitch for the name Maddux in honor of former Cubs great Greg Maddux. Maddux and Mom have made it to a majority of the PC matches thus far and the coach will return to school and the gym Monw-

Andy Puck said it was all about the serve Thursday at Prouty Gym. Puck’s Tigresses won their second Three Rivers match in three nights at home at Prouty Gym, toppling St. Bede 25-12, 25-10. It was a dominating night all around for the Tigresses, who pulled away to easy victories in both sets, all because of their serving game, Puck said. “Kept putting pressure on them and it was service pressure. (We’ve) been serving the heck out of the ball lately,” Puck said. “In the past, we averaged about 12 misserves a match, and those 12 misserves didn’t just equal 12 points. They were usually two mishandled balls after that so it was total of three errors. So take 12 times three, you’re talking a total of 36 points per match. “We’ve been right there with teams. It’s just been too many errors. The last couple matches, we’ve really cleaned a lot up and worked really, really hard

in practice on siding out and the service pressure.” With the chants of her fellow students singing her praises, junior outside hitter Anna Murray led the PHS service attack with 14 points and four aces. She also had eight kills. The first set stood 13-10 before the Tigresses went to work. Corrine Peterson served for two points after a side out, the first on an ace to make it 16-10. Courtney Oeder hit for the side out before Anna Murray strung seven straight points, the first via ace balls, to run the score to 24-11. Oeder, the Tigresses’ 6-foot striker, finished off the game in style with back-to-back blocks and then the kill for a 25-12 decision. She had seven kills overall. “She’s a monster front row, Sky’s the limit for this kid. When she’s on, she’s on,” Puck said. “She’s having fun. She’s unstoppable. She gets in a lot of kids’ heads. (She’s) one of the better blockers I’ve ever had and we’ve

Volleyball: Bureau Valley def. Kewanee 17-25, 25-13, 25-22

Storm rain on Kewanee’s parade By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

KEWANEE — The jovial Kewanee student section was decked out in rain gear as they welcomed the Bureau Valley Storm to Kewanee to face the Boilermakers Thursday, Sept. 9, at H.F. Brockman Gymnasium. Kewanee took the first game 25-17 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference showdown. The Storm thundered back to rain on Kewanee’s parade, thoroughly dominating the second game 25-13 and then had to

battle from behind for a 25-22 victory in the third set and the match victory. Trailing 16-14 in the third set, sophomore outside hitter Saige Barnett found an opening in the Kewanee defense that put the ball in the hands of junior Addison Moreland. Moreland immediately shocked the home crowd as she rained down six service points to put the Storm up 21-16 en route to the 25-22 comefrom-behind victory. “Coach (Vicki Litherland) and I made some adjustments after the

first game. We saw where our offense was coming from so we tweaked a few things and we’re fortunate enough to do that because our girls are so versatile,” BV coach Caitlyn DeMay said. BV had trouble with Kewanee middle hitter Mitrese Smith, particularly early, as the junior unleashed one of her 11 kills to end the first set 25-17. “I like what I saw from the girls in the second and third games. They didn’t hang their heads, and they’ve turned the page and have become a

Storm From Page 11 mentally tough team that can go out and lose the first set, but come back and win two in a row for a victory,” DeMay said. “Knowing that we can be that team that can take a few bumps and come back will give us confidence in tough situations down the road.” Moreland worked her magic once again as she took the opening serve and dropped six points on the Kewanee defense to put BV out front 6-0 as they cruised to victory in set two. “I knew our expectations of them were higher than most, but we’re good,” DeMay said. “The girls just needed a confidence boost to believe that they can be as good as we as coaches

know they can be. I believe this is a step in the right direction to getting them to believe that they can be as relevant in this conference as I know they can be.” Production came from every position Thursday as the Storm played solid on both defense and offense with Moreland leading the way with 14 points (3 aces) and added nine digs. Christen Hurley bested Kewanee’s Smith with 17 kills on the evening. As always, junior setter Nicole Wirth ran the offense, doling out 30 assists on the evening. BV hopes to continue on the right path as they take a trip to battle the Stark County Rebels on Monday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. in Toulon. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

LaMoille/Ohio returned home to the Lions Den in LaMoille to topple Kirkland Hiawatha 25-14, 25-21 in the Little Ten Conference volleyball opener Thursday, Sept. 8. The Lady Lions improved to 6-1 overall with Paige Conner (12 assists, 6 kills) and Alana Cherry (6 digs, 2 kills) each serving for nine points. Also for L/O, Alexa Loftus had eight digs and 12 kills, Maddi Deery had 10 assists and five kills, and Riley Johnson added six points and 12 digs. The LaMoille/Ohio F/S opened conference play with a 25-15, 25-15 victory. Nya Ranel had seven points and seven kills, and Raygen Cromwell added six points, eight assists and five kills. Mendota 2, Hall 0: The Spikers pulled out a 25-21, 25-23 win in a battle of former NCIC rivals in Spring Valley Thursday. Leaders for the Lady Devils were Jenna Lusietto (4 kills), Cassidy Jablonski (3 kills) and Kaelyn Hamalle (3 kills), Madi Quinn (3 aces), Madison Soldati (8 digs) and Gertie Savitch (10 assists).

Tigresses From Page 11 had some good ones here. When it’s all said and done, she’s going to be right up there.” Princeton cruised out to a 15-7 lead in the second set to force a St. Bede timeout. An Anna Murray kill made it 19-9, and Kate Vigars picked up match point when the Lady Bruins failed to return her serve. Sarah Murray had seven points for PHS, and Vigars and Jenna Grimmer split 20 assists. Puck said winning back-to-back matches

at home was nice, but looked ahead to the big picture. “Don’t get me wrong. We really, really want to win this conference. We just need to clean things up and worry about ourselves,” he said. “Just leaving chips where they lay and really focusing on the next game.” Notes: With Thursday’s switch to Princeton to allow for the comforts of air conditioning, the Bureau County and TRAC rivals will now play their originally scheduled match Oct. 4 for PHS at St. Bede.

Moms From Page 11 day, Sept. 12. While Bell said she does miss her time in the gym with “my girls,” she wouldn’t trade her time with her baby for anything. “Becoming a mom has been wonderful, and Jared and I are truly blessed with our little guy,” she said. “I look forward to returning to coaching, and I hope to see Maddux watching from the stands with his daddy or grandparents.” Bureau Valley co-athletic director Vicki Litherland, who has taken over for DeMay during her maternity leave, said it’s a good thing to be able to allow women like DeMay and Bell to pursue their passions of coaching in today’s world, but be able to take care of their family first. “You can make it work. There’s lot of strong women that do make the world work with strong families, friends and your support system around you,” she said.

Good hands

Both coaches had the fortune of falling back on some familiar and experienced coaches to take over their teams in their absence. DeMay handed the reigns over to Litherland, who coached her at Bureau Valley (Class of 2005). DeMay also is very familiar with her sub at school, which just so happens to be her mother, Pat Corwin, longtime BVS staffer and coach, newly retired. Bell turned to former Hall High School head and assistant coach and IVCC head coach Laurie Polte to run the Panthers during her time off.

Polte and Litherland have decades coaching between them, each taking their respective high programs to state. Polte made three straight trips with Hall from 1995-97, the last two as head coach and the first as an assistant, while Litherland guided the Storm to state in 2005. “I couldn’t be any luckier to have a person like Vicki help me out with the team. I know the team is in good hands with her and my assistants,” DeMay said. “I haven’t made any practices, but I have made a few games where I am sitting on the bench but coach L is coaching.” “It has been a pretty smooth process. She calls me and lets me know what is going on, and we talk through things and different options,” DeMay said. It’s been a real smooth transition, Litherland said, helped by the fact that not only Corwin played for Litherland, but Storm assistant Sam (Durham) Taylor, DeMay’s classmate (2005), also did. Dan DeVenney, the other member of the Storm staff, is a fellow BV graduate as well. “All three coaches came through the Bureau Valley program. You can see similarity in styles. We each have our own style, but that sure helps,” Litherland said. “It’s all worked out well. The kids have been great. When you throw the ball out, it doesn’t matter who tosses it out, coach Puck or coach Litherland; the kids are going to chase it around.” Litherland puts the plan in place for each match. DeMay attends, but does no coaching yet. “We talk after the games and troubleshoot,” Litherland said. The Storm staff utilizes 4-way

text messaging, so everyone can communicate together, DeMay said. Polte has been a Godsend for Bell. “I miss being in the gym, but I know my girls have been in great hands with Laurie. They are very lucky,” Bell said. “She gave me the opportunity to spend time with my little man and not worry about what was happening in the gym.”

Close contact

Bell stayed in close contact with Polte, working together to pick the girls who would dress on the varsity and talked about starters, positions, and the defense and offense the team would run, she said. Polte, who got her start coaching under John Garvin with the Tiskilwa Volley Dolls in the early ‘90s before heading to Hall, said she’s had a great time and made sure to maintain status quo until Bell returned to active duty. “The kids have been so good and have accepted me very well. This is her program and team, so I want to make sure we agree on line-ups, rules, etc,” she said. “Hopefully the kids learned something from me. It’s been a privilege to coach them. I thank Amy, the players, the parents and Putnam County High School for the opportunity.” Polte joked that she had to ask her daughter, Erin, the head coach at IVCC, to remind her about some of the drills they ran. But like a new mother with her first baby, veteran coaches like Polte and Litherland have picked things up right away. Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com.

FLAGS OF FREEDOM

All ages are welcome! Minimum weight requirement is 60 pounds. Maximum is 270.

Less than an hour away from Bureau County.

The Flags of Freedom committee, a non-profit organization, has been re-established in July of 2016 in order to support the four large flags in Princeton, Illinois in Bureau County. These 30 foot x 60 foot flags are hung from 153 foot poles at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Route 26. The committee is working to raise funds to ensure that these flags remain flying. The weather is very harsh on the flags. We do try to lower them or take them down completely when there is inclement weather to prevent them from getting torn. The flags are expensive costing $1550.00 each. Our current committee consists of approximately 15 members who are diligently trying to get donations to “keep the flags flying”. The original “Flags of Freedom” committee was started in 2004. They wanted to have a memorial in honor of all veterans and their families. It was decided that they would attempt to raise enough money to buy the flags and the poles. This committee raised over $320,000.00 by donations and fund raising events. The flags and poles were then purchased and were professionally installed. In 2007 the City of Princeton took over the responsibility of maintaining the flags and the poles. In July, 2016 the City of Princeton made the statement that they needed help funding the cost of the flags and infrastructure. Since no tax money is used to support this program, some funding comes from the tourism fund. A group met with the city council and discussed that a new committee was going to be formed to try to raise funds to help support the flags. The City of Princeton has agreed to maintain daily maintenance and minor infrastructure repairs. The City will possibly approve the purchase of two flags annually. We are in the process of trying to get supporters to buy a flag on an annual basis. If someone cannot afford to do that, donations of any amount can be made to help purchase the flags and ‘KEEP THEM FLYING’. This is a great tribute to all of our veterans, past, present, and future.
