School threats unsubstantiated Police still investigating social media comments about a gun being brought to Logan Junior High School

By Terri Simon and Goldie Rapp news@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — As of Wednesday morning, the Princeton Police Department was still interviewing students at Logan Junior High School in Princeton regarding social media comments made on Monday suggesting a gun was going to be brought into the school on Tuesday.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said the situation is under investigation, and his department is taking the social media posts very seriously. An upgrade of police presence at the school has been ongoing since Monday.

“There is nothing to substantiate a threat,” Root told the Bureau County Republican on Tuesday. “We are interviewing some students,

was going to bring a gun to school and start shooting.

“There is nothing to show this is a real threat,” Root continued. “We’ve got more people to interview, and we’re getting closer to who started this ... We are taking this very seriously, but as of right now, we have nothing to validate it at all.”

and we still have a few more to talk to. The school is safe. We encourage parents to send their children to school. We have extra officers at the school. At this time, there is nothing to worry about.”

After doing what Root called “extensive interviews with students,” the threat is still considered “hearsay,” Root said, adding social media posts claimed someone

Walnut looks for help on sidewalk project Board sets open house for new sewer project

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The Walnut Village Board is contemplating a new sidewalk project, and it is requesting help from the community.

Year 170 No. 114 One Section - 20 Pages

© Bureau County Republican

Superintendent Carl Minks told the board he had been approached by Jeff Wallace, township road commissioner, about the possibility of the board assisting with the placement of a sidewalk from the intersection of McDonald Street to the entrance of the village cemetery. Wallace would like to construct a 5-footwide sidewalk that would extend

to at least the first entrance to the cemetery and, if money is available, extend the sidewalk on to the podium used for Memorial Day services.

Minks proposed to the board the streets and maintenance department could provide labor and some equipment for the removal of the previous sidewalk and help to prepare the area for

the new sidewalk.

Wallace said the project costs will need to be covered by donations from the public. He will be approaching various organizations and individuals within the village to see if there would be support coming from some of those groups.

PRINCETON — City leaders want to give some power to the people, and they’ll do it by forming a committee to help run the electric department.

But in the meantime, they’ll raise customers’ electric rates to help replenish cash reserves and catch up with overlooked increases.

During Monday’s meeting, the Princeton City Council voted unanimously to have City Manager Rachel Skaggs prepare an ordinance authorizing the formation of the committee. The vote came after Mayor Joel Quiram requested the city form a Citizens Electric Utility Advisory Committee to help run the electric department.

With the department’s reserves running low and rates not running high enough, the move comes at a difficult time for the department.

City Council OKs Princeton Tire expansion

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Princeton City Council granted special use permits to Princeton Tire on Monday, which will allow the business to expand its services.

The council went with the Sept. 13 recommendation of the Princeton Plan Commission/ Board of Zoning Appeals.

Darryl Newell and Ron Piper, owners of Princeton Tire at 901 N. Main St., will now be able to perform minor and major vehicle repairs and sell used vehicles. They will also be allowed to use the small parking lot located north of Wyanet Carpet to park used vehicles for sale.

Earlier this year, Bob Nowak, the city’s temporary financial director, discovered the city didn’t have $3 million in electric investments it thought it had. Aside from not maintaining its reserves, the city hasn’t increased its electric rates to stay in line with the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency, which has resulted in the city absorbing those increases throughout the years.

Quiram listed just some of the responsibilities that

Ann Crosby, owner of Annie’s Little Pots, located at 906 N. Main St., spoke at the Sept. 13 meeting in favor of the business expansion. She also spoke in favor of it at Monday’s city council meeting.

Crosby said she foresees a very abandoned block if the Princeton Tire owners were to leave.

“These gentlemen are bringing sizable sales tax to the city in comparison to anyone else on this block,” she said.

Crosby said she has spoken extensively with Newell about his plans to spruce up the property with antique gas pumps, which she added would be charming and historically accurate.

“We as a town are fortunate

fall onto the shoulders of one man — electrical Superintendent Jeff Mangrich — including electric rates, reserves, capital outlay, maintenance and employee supervision of both the generation plant and line crew.

“That’s a lot of pressure,” Quiram said.

Quiram said a five-member committee could help take charge of the city’s power and alleviate the pressure on Mangrich.

He said the committee’s responsibilities would include, but not be limited to, making recommendations on rates, capital proj-

that Darryl and Ron invested in this property. What else would you envision in this building, and how long would it sit vacant with someone with a lot of money to turn it into something other than its original intention?” she questioned.

Another business owner on North Main Street wrote to the city council opposing the business expansion.

Laura Massey, owner of Beetz Me, stated she wishes to keep a certain look to North Main Street and fears selling used vehicles would not be in its best interest.

“A used car lot will not generate the type of revenue that has brought the art district/ north

ects, incentives programs, and loans made to the city from the electric department reserves.

Quiram said it would be a daunting task, and committee members would need to be up to the challenge of a job that could be difficult, time-consuming – and without pay.

“The committee positions are voluntary, so those who serve will be doing so for our community,” he said.

Commissioner Laura Favia said the city manager and electrical superintendent should interview those who want to be on

end much popularity recently.

Though be it a used car lot has its merits, but not on Main Street,” she stated. “When it comes to bringing more revenue/tax dollars, people are not coming to town to find a used car. They are coming to this fair city to be entertained with unique shops, nice restaurants and historical landmarks.”

The special use permits for Princeton Tire do come with conditions. The business will not be allowed to do body work or towing of vehicles; commercial vehicle repair will have to take place inside the business’ building; vehicle sales will be limited to two vehicles at the Princeton Tire property and no more than

the board before they’re appointed.

“When we’re talking multimillions (of dollars), I think they should have certain qualities to sit on the board,” she said.

Quiram said the committee would meet either monthly or quarterly and would elect its own chairman. Skaggs and Mangrich would not serve on the board but would attend meetings.

The Illinois Municipal Electric Agency, the trade association the city belongs to for its electric needs, will help write the bylaws for the committee.

The city also will reach out to other communities that

five vehicles will be able to be parked at the Wyanet Carpet lot; advertising signage for vehicle sales will have to be limited to signage/documentation in the vehicles as required by state law and banners; flags and other outdoor signage for vehicles sales will be prohibited.

In other news, Vickie Martenson, who submitted a petition to build a storage unit on the northeast corner of Warren and Pleasant streets, pulled her request before the council meeting on Monday. The Princeton Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals had recommended the permit be turned down.

have established similar advisory boards for input and ideas.

The electric committee could be just the first of the city’s utility committees.

“My hope is that we can expand our focus to include our water and wastewater utilities as well,” Quiram said.

Electric rate increase The council on Monday passed the second and final reading of a 6 percent electric rate increase, which begins next month.

That hike means a typical residential customer will see an increase of about $3.10 a month during the winter billing cycles and about $4.43 a

month during the summer. According to Skaggs, the increase will help the city replenish and maintain its cash reserves in the electric fund and stay in line with rates charged by IMEA. “There is always disappointment when the city has to consider a utility rate increase. But rate increases are necessary from timeto-tome in order to keep up with inflation and the cost of doing business,” Quiram said, adding the rate increase is only the beginning of “restoring health to the city’s electric department.”

Construction work on Route 26 to begin

IVCC will host second annual Connie Dzierzynski Skerston Scholarship 5K

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

OGLESBY — Sometimes it’s the simple things we do that we’re remembered for, and those things can also be used to inspire and help others. Such is the case with Connie Dzierzynski Skerston.

Skerston spent 16 years working with the IVCC Student Services office before her untimely death from a brain aneurysm in 2015 at the age 45.

“Connie was a beloved colleague and a dynamic force within the admissions office. She was a powerful advocate for student success, and I believe her spirit lives on here,” Fran Brolley, IVCC’s director of community relations and development, said.

It was how she often spent her lunch hour that’s now being success-

Threats From Page 1 Princeton Elementary School District Superintendent Tim Smith, who has spent considerable time at Logan throughout the situation, said neither the school or the police have been able to confirm any legitimate threat at this time, either from social media or random comments supposedly made on a school bus on Monday.

Smith confirmed he and

fully used to continue to help and inspire students.

Brolley said, “Connie was a devoted walker who often spent her lunch hour vigorously covering a course that wound through our parking lots.”

With help from her family, mother Betty Dzierzynski and brother Greg Dzierzynski, IVCC will be hosting their second annual scholarship fundraiser at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8.

Participants can run or walk a 5K or do an untimed, 1.5 mile “Walk in her Steps” course that mirrors Connie’s personal route. To date, $32,000 have been raised and recipients of the $1,000 award have shown a passion for volunteerism and community service.

Heather McCutcheon of Ladd, a nursing student, won the first Connie Dzierzynski Skerston Memorial Scholarship in 2015, and Rick Cook of Ottawa, a

the police have seen a host of social media posts, but they have not been able to substantiate any real threat.

As posts on social media circulated and increased throughout Monday evening and Tuesday morning, many parents made the decision to keep their child home from school.

Nearly 500 students attend Logan Junior High School, but on Tuesday, about 150 of those students were absent.

On Wednesday morning,

DIXON – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that weather permitting, construction work on Route 26, north of the Lee/ Bureau County line north of Ohio, will begin on Monday, Sept. 26.

The $2.2 million project involves replacing four culverts and removing three additional structures that are no longer needed.

“They have done a remarkable job promoting, organizing and raising money for the annual race that attracted almost 200 participants its first year,” Brolley said.

The entry fee is $25 if received by Oct. 1 and $30 after that date. There are several age divisions for men and women. Early packet pickup will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6, near the college’s main entrance, and race day registration is from 8 to 9:30 a.m..

Smith said attendance was back to normal at Logan, and he characterized the mood at the school as “back to normal.

“It’s unfortunate,” Smith said of the situation, adding the Princeton Police Department has been “amazing” in their efforts at the school. Smith said the district will consider the situation as a learning experience to use with students, their families and staff.

Customers will receive more information about electric and natural gas meter upgrades which are scheduled to begin in the fall and continue throughout 2016. Benefits of these advanced, two-way communication devices include: • More reliable energy. The advanced meter works with the other system upgrades that Ameren Illinois is making, including automated switches and sensors that will help the utility detect and isolate outages sooner so that they can restore service more promptly. • More energy usage control. As technology continues to advance, the new meters will provide detailed energy usage information that will make it easier for customers to take an active role in controlling their energy usage and costs. • More customer infor-

PEORIA — As part of a multi-year plan to build a next generation energy delivery system and create jobs in central and southern Illinois, Ameren Illinois announced it is enhancing service reliability for more than 36,000 residential and small business customers in and around Bureau, Kendall, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam counties, including upgrading electric meters and natural gas meters.

Customers in the following communities will benefit from these enhancements: Bureau County: Arlington, Cherry, Dalzell, DePue, Dover, Hollowayville, Kasbeer, LaMoille, Ladd, Malden, Ohio, Princeton, Seatonville, Spring Valley, Tiskilwa, Van Orin, Walnut and Zearing.

Over time, customers will have more convenient ways to view their energy usage information through mobile and web-based tools – all designed to help customers better manage their energy use.

Ameren Illinois will contact customers in advance of meter upgrades. Cus-

tomers do not need to take any action or be present as long as installers have clear and safe access to the meters. The upgrades will take about 10-15 minutes and will be performed by Ameren Illinois or Apex contracting crews displaying Ameren photo-ID badges. Installers will never ask for payment of

any kind. There will be a brief interruption to a customer’s electric service. If a customer is not present, a door hanger will be left to let them know if the upgrade was completed.

Customers with questions can visit AmerenIllinois.com/focus or call Ameren Illinois Customer Service at 1-800-755-5000.

Sidewalk From Page 1 The only contribution by the village board would be the cost of the labor and use of village equipment. It is hoped the sidewalk can be completed by Memorial Day 2017.

After discussion by the board, a motion was made to donate the labor costs with the understanding the work on this project would only begin after sufficient funds are raised. The board did not want the area torn up and then not have the sidewalk completed. The motion passed with this stipulation.

Minks also reported to the board an open house will be hosted by Willett-Hofmann, engineering firm, at the now completed sewer improvement project. The event is set from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 8. This project includes a new brick equipment and laboratory building. Representatives from the engineering firm will be on hand to explain various aspects of the project and to answer questions. The open house is being held on the same date as the Walnut Fall Festival being held in downtown Walnut and sponsored by the Walnut Chamber of Commerce.

Also at the meeting, Adam Bickett of Buda was sworn in

by Walnut President Dennis Grobe to serve as a full-time police officer for the village.

Bickett will begin training at the Illinois Police Academy on Oct. 2.

Obituary Ernest Cook

ISP results from Nighttime Enforcement Patrols LASALLE — The Illinois State Police (ISP) held Nighttime Enforcement Patrols (NITE) during the late evening hours of Sept. 2, and the early morning hours of Sept. 3.

The patrols were conducted in LaSalle County by ISP District 17 officers.

During those patrols, officers issued one citation and two warnings for registration offenses, three citations for driver’s license offenses and made one arrest related to alcohol/drugs. There were no citations or warnings given for occupant restraint offenses and no arrests made for driving under the influence offenses.

During the patrols, officers issued a total of 17 citations and wrote 32 warnings.

Alcohol is involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes in Illinois. NITE patrols are designed to keep roads safe by removing alcohol-impaired drivers. However, when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance, or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken.

This project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

Learn something new every day While the phrase “learn something new every day” isn’t my creation, it’s something I’d say I try to live by.

It’s certainly not hard to do; you can usually learn several things over the course of a day, and those simple bits of information add up over time.

The challenge is Dave managing to rememCook ber them.

I’ve always COMMENTARY enjoyed work that keeps me moving and offers chances to experience different things and learn from others.

While cleaning out my old camera bag which was going to fall apart soon (and I’m certain it would’ve happened at the most inopportune time), I came across the collection of business cards I’ve amassed throughout the past year or so.

As I browsed through them, I realized the diversity of the people and events I’ve recently encountered.

I’ve been in contact with farmers; agronomists; ag events; FFA; 4-H; fairs; rodeos; draft horses; boat races; a golf course; animal rescues, resorts and trainers; farmer’s markets; schools and educators; artists and musicians; a congressman and state senators; mayors and board members; gardeners; librarians; Hollywood memorabilia; a geologist; ethanol manufacturing; a large scale greenhouse; firefighters, police officers and EMS workers; nature preserves; cemeteries; protesters; a candy store; water treatment facilities; churches; a salon; community and senior centers; food pantries; collectors; outreach workers; genealogists; Civil War re-enactors; World War II planes; a yoga instructor; bakers; car shows; alpacas; entrepreneurs and probably several others I’m forgetting.

The one thing they all have in common is I learned something from each of them. While I can’t say I’ve mastered any one thing in life, I’m probably fairly well rounded with general knowledge.

When people are asked questions about professions, passions and past times, they’re almost always eager to share. All you have to do is think to ask and then listen. Education doesn’t have to be in a formal setting; you can learn anywhere and from anyone.

I was told when I started here I’d eventually tend to gravitate toward certain areas I find appealing. I’ve learned I should have been a farm kid.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for me to join 4-H, and my dogs probably wouldn’t be willing to share my attention with a horse, goat or chickens. I also don’t have a pasture and a barn, so I’ll have to continue to enjoy them vicariously.

A little more than a year ago I knew very little about agriculture, but with assistance from some of the aforementioned people and organizations, along with my own research, I think I’ve learned quite a bit. I’m not ready to purchase any acreage yet, but I’ve enjoyed learning about soil quality, new management practices, environmental concerns, the showing and caring for livestock, organic farming and farm equipment.

I’d like to thank the people I’ve come in contact with for the things they’ve shared with me. I’ve had fun, and hopefully, I’ve helped readers of the publications my work has appeared in to enjoy the various topics themselves.

Occasionally, while covering an event, I’m asked about my work and if I like it. Oftentimes it’s a student, and I enjoy sharing a bit of my life with them. I don’t know if I’ve ever swayed anyone toward similar work, but I’d like to think there was at least something in what I said that counted toward their “learn something every day” quota.

What to do with laptop malfunction I have been rather lazy during the summer getting any writing done.

My days seemed to get busy with grandchildren, golfing and keeping cool.

A new column was in my plans for a recent evening. After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, I turned on my laptop, got myself a soft drink and got comfortably arranged on the couch. I forego sitting at a desk for the comfort of my leather couch. Sorry, comfort is key.

I fired up the laptop, expecting the usual screens to appear. I do have to admit my attention was drawn to a tennis match in progress and shown on television, rather than the assignations of my computer. I glanced a few times at the screen and noticed the little round series of dots indicating he computer was still thinking, seemed to be taking much longer than usual. But, as I said, I wasn’t really paying that much attention.

Finally, the log-in screen appeared, and I logged in with my simple password (simple is good for me — I can’t remember complicated, and I don’t take the laptop away from home). My password was accepted, and I assumed I was ready to type, type, type.

I had an idea for a new column, and I thought it was going to be a good idea ... but it will have to be explored in a future column. The events of the next couple of hours superseded that idea.

I opened a new, blank document to begin recording my thoughts.

After about three lines of typing, a message appeared, a message that I was going to soon become very familiar with. The message was this: “L Your computer has encountered a problem and will be required to shut down. Information is being gathered and then your computer with restart. If you have questions

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

about Registry Errors, please review on-line.”

OK. I can deal with a sudden shutdown; after all I had only written a few lines. No big deal. I was a slow learner because I received this same message repeatedly for the next 90 minutes or so. After about the third try, I did stop trying to write and just tried to figure out what was going on with my trusty laptop.

I did some research on my iPad regarding registry errors and found that, for the most part, registry errors do not cause problems with the performance of your computer.

OK. Obviously, the performance of my computer was being greatly affected. I further read malware or viruses in the registry of a computer can cause it to not function.

What? Viruses? Malware? I have anti-virus software on my computer, and it should be keeping those kinds of bad stuff from infecting the machine. This scary idea prompted me to call the provider of my virus software. A very nice gentleman with a significant accent told me he would try to go into my computer and make sure his company’s software was working properly.

I was game for that idea. Unfortunately, we could not get my computer to stay on long enough for him to get into it to check it out. My frustration and fear of the worst was growing rapidly. His suggestion was for me to call the manufacturer of the computer. I wasn’t too hopeful of that — the computer is definitely out of its warranty period.

Now, it must be remembered at this point that I am no computer expert. I know the difference between hardware and software in the computer world. I tend to rely on the control/alt/delete keys to get a computer to move when stuck (this doesn’t seem to work with my current laptop), and I know that the ESC (escape) key can be my friend. I can download, delete and make some basic programs do what I want.

By this time on my recent evening, it is well past time for me to say lights out, but I know that I will not get much sleep with this whole computer thing not rectified. So, I do a little Google research on my iPad to find out what I can do to reset my computer, seemed to be the best available option.

Ah ha, Google tells me I can go to the start button, go to restart, click on restart and hold down the shift key. Doing this is supposed to open up a new window giving me options for resetting my computer. Who knew? After several attempts, I get to the screen! There are several options for the reset. I choose the one that will leave me at least some of my “stuff.”

It worked! It worked! I am so excited, relieved, happy! Yes, I lost some programs that were on my computer (those that did not come with the machine), but I didn’t lose my pictures. I didn’t lose my documents. I didn’t lose those things that I would have trouble recreating. I feel like it’s a miracle. My laptop is mine again.

Three hours of frustration gave way to relief. Thank you Google.

You knew what you were talking about! Life is good after all!

Carus employees tour Tangled Roots Brewing Co. in Ottawa as a kick-off to Imagine a Day Without Water.

Carus asks followers to ‘Imagine a day without water’

Can you imagine a day without water? It’s a question Carus Corporation in partnership with organizations, experts and officials across the country is asking the world this month.

Organized by the Value of Water Coalition, Imagine a Day Without Water, is an awareness campaign focused on the state of our nation’s water infrastructure and the crucial need for investment in drinking water and wastewater systems.

Carus’ participation will take place primarily via a social media campaign the company launched earlier this month, with posts on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook that draw attention to the importance of water. They are also having some fun with the message by asking followers to imagine a day without beer.

“It typically takes about six barrels of water to make one barrel of beer, a number that we are constantly looking to reduce,” said Keith Pearse, co-founder

and CEO of Tangled Roots Brewing Co. (TRBC). The craft brewery, located in Ottawa, is owned by Carus’ Chairman Inga Carus and her husband, Peter Limberger. To kick off the campaign, a team of employees gathered at the Lone Buffalo Brew Pub to tour the Tangled Roots brewery and learn about the importance of water in creating TRBC’s craft brews.

“When imagining a day without water, it is easy to think about not turning on the tap, skipping laundry or not watering the garden,” said Carus’ Carlos Hevia, who is leading the company’s participation in the awareness campaign. “But water impacts so much more — from the produce you buy, to just about every beverage in your refrigerator. It’s easy to take water for granted.

Most people don’t fully understand the complex systems, the chemistry and engineering that go into providing safe water to our communities.”

Carus employees are

well aware of what it takes to provide safe water.

About 85 percent of the Carus products manufactured in LaSalle are used for water treatment. Additionally, Carus’ manufacturing process is powered mainly by water.

“We operate on steam,” said Tom Moshage, senior project engineer at Carus.

“We’ve undertaken a massive conservation project in recent years to recycle water in our plant, saving millions of gallons of water each year. Still, without water, we could not operate, and hundreds of people in LaSalle, Peru and elsewhere would be without work. It’s one reason we can’t imagine a day without water.”

“We’re thrilled that Carus has joined Imagine a Day Without Water. This national day of action is educating public officials and engaging citizens about the essential role water plays in our lives, and the threat that aging and underfunded water infrastructure poses to our

communities and economy,” said Radhika Fox, CEO of the U.S. Water Alliance and director of the Value of Water Coalition.

Statewide association recognizes Peru Waltham Mutual Peru Waltham Mutual Insurance Co. of Peru was named winner of the Company Achievement Award presented by the Illinois Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (IAMIC) on Aug. 22.

The presentation was made during the annual banquet of IAMIC’s 135th annual convention in East Peoria at the Embassy Suites. Peru Waltham Mutual was singled out from among 53 IAMIC member companies and recognized for its tremendous efforts used in improving their business over the recent years.

Peru Waltham Mutual has been serving the community since 1878 and has adapted to continuously meet the many needs of the consumer. The company has grown throughout the years, with the process and procedures changing, but the purpose — it has remained the same — providing quality insurance to the policyholders at an affordable rate.

In the past two years (2014-16), Peru Waltham Mutual embarked on a journey to provide improved services to agents and policyholders and create a more efficient workplace for employees. During this time of improvement and expansion, they have worked to honor their roots and the values of their found-

Through embracing technology, making “greener” choices, and streamlining the procedures- they have made great strides towards these goals. One of the largest achievements within this timeframe has been the planning, construction, and

most importantly, the move to their new office building.

They have implemented a new website that has an agency portal, a Facebook page and created a new logo. In addition, they have begun the process of going paperless. The company has worked with determination, weath-

ered challenges and has become stronger because of them. It is because of their demonstrated ability to improve their company and provide exceptional service to their policyholders that Peru Waltham Mutual Insurance Co. was named the 2016 recipient of the Company Achievement Award.

Health department releases inspection scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations.

Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

Game of the Week

Tigresses calm the Storm

Princeton (3-1) at Fulton (3-1) • 7:30 p.m. Friday

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Princeton’s Anna Murray opened Tuesday’s TRAC East match at the Storm Cellar with four straight points against the rival Bureau Valley Storm.

Her teammates took it from there to the tune of a 25-13, 25-19 Tigresses victory.

The win improved the Tigresses to 4-2 in conference play, 5-8 PHS coach Andy Puck said the Tigresses responded well, especially in the second set, playing in front of a boisterous BV student body, the Thunder Crazies, who he labeled as the Storm’s seventh man.

“We played a disciplined game in a loud gym. I was proud of how they focused in Game 2. Bureau Valley made it interesting. When they pushed, we answered the call and continued to push back,” Puck said.

PHS got out early once again in the second on the serving of sophomore libero Corrine Peterson.

The Storm battled back and continued to push but came up short, 25-19.

“There were some bright spots on offense tonight,” BV interim coach Vicki Litherland said. “We did a better job of hitting the ball. Princeton’s serving took an early jump on us and we struggled digging out from that. We came out with some fire in game two, but it was just a little late.”

Peterson led the Tigresses with eight points and seven digs. Senior middle hitter Courtney Oeder ripped off nine kills with a block to lead PHS at the net. Anna Murray chipped in four kills and five points, and Katelyn Ross had three kills and Jenna Grimmer had 10 assists.

Tigers look to go full steam ahead at Fulton

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

FULTON — Both sides of Three Rivers Conference football will have a confluence Friday night in Fulton, when the Princeton Tigers and Fulton Steamers collide for a crossover contest.

The Tigers are the defending champions on the TRAC Mississippi and are tied atop this year’s standings with St. Bede at 2-0. The Steamers likewise stand atop the TRAC Rock at 2-0 along with Rockridge.

The BCR Game of the Week for Week 5 promises to be another gridiron great, much like last year’s clash at Princeton.

The Tigers were fortunate to come away with a win (24-20) a year ago when the Steamers committed a costly late fumble.

“Fulton will be very physical, both offensively and defensively,” PHS coach Jesse Snyder said.

“Our goal defensively will be to stop the run, have great pursuit, tackle with purpose, and create takeaways. Offensively, we have to execute our assignments and take care of the ball.

“Coach (Pat) Lower will have them ready to go

It’s J.A. Happ Week in the Illinois Valley Attention Illinois Valley and St. Bede Academy: It’s OK to be bursting with pride today. In fact, I’m officially declaring this J.A. Happ Week in the IV. Native son J.A. Happ reached a major milestone late Tuesday night in Seattle where he picked up his 20th win of the season. That’s win No. 20, second in the majors only to Rick Porcello (21) of the Red Sox. He becomes just the sixth Blue Jay pitcher in franchise history to reach the coveted 20-win plateau, including Roy Halladay, Roger Clemens, Jack Morris and David Wells.

With the game starting late on the West Coast, this old sports editor tried to keep one eye open on the sports ticker. When I saw Happ take

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

an 8-2 lead after five innings, the required minimum of work to earn a victory, I soundly went to sleep dreaming of Happ strikeouts.

St. Bede athletic director Tom McGunnigal shares the same sentiments.

“I am obsessed with SportsCenter and the Blue Jays website after he pitches,” he said.

“I am beyond excited for him. My

uncle lives in Washington and was watching the game. He texted after the win his stat line.”

McGunnigal called Happ’s effort Tuesday simply amazing.

“He strikes out the side in the fourth after they (Blue Jays) score eight runs,” McGunnigal said.

The best thing about Happ is he remains as humble as the days he toiled at Washington Park in Peru and St. Bede Academy. He’s the same old J.A. that we all loved and adored, no matter what riches and fame he finds in the big leagues.

His post game quote on the Blue Jays website hits that home (here’s the link — http://m.blue-

come Friday. It will come down to the team that is the most disciplined.”

Princeton is eying its second straight playoff appearance after last year’s historic 11-0 run to reach the 3A quarterfinals before falling to Elmhurst Immaculate Conception. The Tigers graduated the bulk of that talent, but only a Week 2 stumble at Morrison (13-12) has kept them from matching last year’s start.

Snyder strives to keep the expectations high each week and each season.

“It is my goal for every student athlete that we have to give them the opportunities to grow and improve every week,” he said. “It is our expectation that we continue to strive for improvement and our best effort everyday. I love and care about every young man in our program. Sometimes it might be tough for them to realize that at times, but I do.”

Fulton knocked off preseason TRAC Rock favorite Orion 24-21 in Week 3, a big win that has set the Steamers’ tone for the rest of the season. They are up for the challenge that Princeton brings.

Game Page 14

Happ-enings Keeping up with St. Bede graduate J.A. Happ of the Toronto Blue Jays

Last start: Happ earned a monumental victory at Seattle Tuesday, defeating the Mariners 10-2 to garner his 20th victory of the year. The 33-year-old left-hander struck out eight batters over five innings with just one walk. He surrendered two runs, both earned. Got to http://m.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article/202417322/ja-happ-becomes-torontos-6th-20-game-winner/) for more.

Season at a glance: Happ ties David Wells’ club record for lefties with 20 wins and becomes the sixth 20-game winner in franchise history. He stands to get two more starts as the Jays play for a Wild Card spot.

Next start: Sept. 25 or Sept. 26 at home vs. Mariners.

“It’s a nice number,” the always modest Happ said after the game. “I think as we go through the season, I’m focused on the day-to-day and the preparation, but you don’t get to that number without having great teammates.

“I’m really grateful to just be on this team. They’ve been showing up all year long and it has been a lot of fun. Special shout-out to (catcher) Russ Martin, who got me through a lot of those and a lot of battles so far this year, and hopefully we got a lot more to go.”

St. Bede coach Bill Booker called Happ’s feat “cool for our area and there many people rooting for him.”

While coaching at L-P during Happ’s prep days, Booker said his team never had a chance to face Happ. He said no one ever could have ever predicted this.

“He’s had some great coaching along the way and he has worked very hard to reach this milestone,”Booker said.

Happ, the 2001 BCR Athlete of the Year, has spent parts of 10 years in the big leagues, never winning more than 12 games (rookie season with the Phillies in 2009). Nobody’s questioning that $36 million contract the Blue Jays gave the 33-year-old lefty anymore.

Yes, Illinois Valley and St. Bede, you have a lot to be proud of. The star of our native son is shining bright this week.

Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor and has followed Happ’s career since his high school days. Contact him at khieronymus@bcrnews.com.

Barnett led the way with six kills and five points. Christen Hurley had five kills and a block while Nicole Wirth added 16 assists.

Princeton made it a clean sweep, winning the sophomore match 25-23, 25-19 and rallying to take the freshman match 20-25, 25-17, 25-18.

Bruins, Clippers top the field

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The St. Bede boys and Amboy/LaMoille girls teams topped the fields in an Illinois Valley field featuring seven cross country teams.

The Bruins topped Hall 25-39 followed by Princeton (86) and Somonauk (86).

Amboy/LaMoille, Putnam County, and Mendota competed, but did not field full teams.

Tom Stamberger, a sophomore from LaMoille, topped the field with a time of 17:35 for 3.0 miles.

Westley Schmidt (17:54) of Hall was the runner-up.

Carter Funfsinn (18:08) of St. Bede claimed third and Noe Flores (18:40) of PC was fourth.

St. Bede scored with sev-

Radio: WZOE 1490 AM. ST. BEDE (2-2, 2-0) AT KEWANEE (2-2, 0-2) Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

BCR insider: The TRAC Mississippi rivals are heading in different directions with the Bruins on a two-game win streak and the Boilers dropping their last two, both in league play, after a 2-0 start. The Bruins have racked up 110 points throughout the last two weeks with lopsided wins over win-less Hall and Sherrard teams. Another win Friday would put the Bruins atop the Mississippi at the halfway point. Facing another long road trip, SBA coach Jim Eustice said the Bruins need to get a better start than last week (down 9-7 early in the second quarter at Sherrard) against a Boilermakers team on its home turf. “Kewanee is very athletic and have some big bodies up front. We are going to have to continue improving in all phases,” he said.

Last week: St. Bede beat Sherrard 51-15; Kewanee lost to Newman 28-0.

Last year: St. Bede 33-24.

All-time series: St. Bede 4-2.

BCR insider: Last year’s game at Sherrard was a wild affair with the Red Devils racking up 72 points to double up the Tigers. The 72 points exceeds what Hall has scored this year

(54) by 18 points in the midst of a rebuilding campaign. Hall has played St Bede (17-13) and Princeton (7-0) to good battles through halftime the past two weeks but unable to sustain that play in the second half. The lack of depth and multiple two-way players has taken its toll. Coach Randy Tieman said, “I think if we can put four quarters together and play as well as we did in the first half last week, we can get the win, but we have to do a better job tackling. They have a couple good running backs who run hard and good size up front.” Sherrard looks to snap a 15-game losing skid dating back to Week 8 of the 2014 season. The Tigers have now lost 21 of their last 22 games.

Last week: Sherrard lost to St. Bede 51-15; Hall lost to Princeton 35-7.

Last year: Hall 72-36.

All-time series: Hall 9-2.

Radio: WAJK 99.3 FM. BUREAU VALLEY (2-2) VS. SOLDIERS GROVE (4-1) Game time: 1 p.m. Saturday, North Crawford, Wis. BCR insider: Amboy’s withdrawal from the TRAC sends the Storm across state lines for a interstate battle vs. Soldiers Grove. The Trojans started 4-0 (Wisconsin football starts a week earlier than Illinois) before falling 35-0 to DeSoto in league play last week.

They need one more win to become playoff eligible again. Soldiers Grove has not been a traditionally strong football program but reached the Wisconsin state playoffs three years consecutively (2012-14) prior to last year’s 2-7 campaign. BV (301 enrollment) will be the largest opponent of the season for Soldier’s Grove, whose enrollment of 150 students makes it the second largest school in the Ridge and Valley Conference, a league of seven similarly-sized schools in Southwest Wisconsin. Several of the teams in the confer-

Wally ence are co-ops, whose schools have enrollments of 100 or fewer. Solders Grove junior RB Kenny Spencer ranks 14th in all divisions in Wisconsin (second in his division) in rushing with 67 attempts for 834 yards and 8 TDs. Classmate Skyler Olson has 11 carries for 340 yards and 5 TDs (30.9 yards per carry) and has caught 7 passes for 109 yards and a TD ... The Storm have taken a stumble since an 0-2 start with losses to Rockridge and Orion. This step out of league play may be just what the Storm needs to recharge for the final TRAC Rock run.

Last week: BV lost Orion 42-20.

Last year: Did not play.

All-time series: 0-0.

Radio: WZOE 98.12 FM. EAST DUBUQUE (3-1, 2-1) AT AMBOY/LAMOILLE (2-2, 2-2) Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday, at the Harbor.

BCR insider: Both teams took some hard hits in NUIC NW play last week — the Clippers falling to Forreston and East Dubuque to Dakota. The loss was the first in four games for the Warriors, which had opened with three opponents with a combined 1-11 record. They have comparable losses to Dakota with A/L falling to the Indians 38-20 in Week 2.

Last week: East Dubuque lost to Dakota 28-6; AL lost to Forreston 55-7.

Last year: Did not play.

Radio: WCRV 101.7 FM. OTHER GAMES Newman (4-0, 1-0) at E/P (1-3, 1-0) Riverdale (1-3, 0-1) at Morrison (1-3, 0-1) Orion (3-1, 1-1) at Rockridge (3-1, 2-0) Sycamore (1-3) at L-P (1-3) Sterling (4-0, 1-0) at Geneseo (4-0,1-0) Lutheran (2-2, 1-2) at Mendota (1-3, 1-3) A/W (3-1, 2-0) at Mercer County (3-1, 2-0) — Kevin Hieronymus

Game From Page 11 “I believe we definitely have our hands full with Princeton. They are a team coming in winning 14 of their last 16 games,” Lower said.

“Coach Snyder has done a great job with that program.

They are a threat with both the pass and the run. We must play well in order to compete with them.”

Heading into the season, Lower said the Steamers’ strengths this season would be their overall depth and team speed. They return 12 lettermen, including senior quarterback Tyler Sweenie, who has passed for 350 yards and four touchdowns, and senior running back Michael Pidde, who rushed for 416 yards and five touchdowns. They were starters on Fulton’s last playoff team in 2014.

Crossover game or not, Snyder said it will be business as usual for the Tigers.

“The game in front of us is the most important game,” he said.

Both are 1-1 in crossover.

The Steamers opened with a 41-8 win over Hall and fell 30-22 to Newman.

From Page 13 Mike and they followed a blood trail 10 yards into the timber where the bear lay dead.

They loaded him on the sled, took him back to the cabin, took pics, dressed him, and took him to the taxidermist in town.

Sept. 17 — Broke camp and packed, took bear to locker, and then took off for home.

They both told me it was a great adventure.

Now all Mike has to do is find a place in their home for the mount.

Congratulations, Mike and John.

It seems the Department of Natural Resources has been hit by losing many staff members. Hennepin Parkway has lost its secretary. You can call 815-454-2328 and leave a message. Maybe you can get the info you need that way. The warden will return your call.
