Princeton dumps garbage issue on the table Police chief discusses Homestead parade and alcohol

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council is looking into changing rules on garbage pick-up within the city.

On Monday Sept. 21, commissioner Ray Mabry brought up how it’s been a burden for the garbage crew to have to get rid of larger items at the curb including mattresses, sofas, recliners and construction debris.

“Unfortunately what started out as a good idea to pick-up just about anything instead of a spring clean-up has turned into a burden for the guys,” he

said. “(They) just never know from corner to corner what they’re going to find.”

Mabry said he would like to see the garbage pickup go back to the conventional way, starting Nov. 1, where residents are given one can, and additional cans will have to include a purchased sticker to be picked-up. There would be no change for recyclables pick up.

“I just think it was an idea that we tried, and I think there’s just been a lot of challenges,” Mabry said. “Of course, we have a few people who abuse the system when they’re doing remodeling and things like that.”

Mabry said he felt it would discourage residents to put out more garbage if they had to pay to put a

sticker on the bag. Before changes were put in place to the garbage system, stickers were $2 and sold at banks, grocery stores and City Hall.

Street Superintendent Steve Wright was also at Monday’s meeting and confirmed the current system is concerning and is costing overtime.

“I would like to see it go back to clean-up with a volume on it because some people do put heavy stuff out there, and that’s another burden on laborers who have to pick it up,” he said.

Mabry said he would also like to see spring cleanup days come back in May, and suggested the city do a fall clean-up with the intention that if there were two clean-up periods per year it could help cut down

United we stand Bureau County United Way brings progressive approach to community needs

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Others had passed by the man on the side of the road. Travelers knew this man, yet turned their head and continued within their indifference. They chose to close their eyes, unwillingly to bear the weight of the world around them. And then came the Samaritan.

He offered freely because he understood something.

It wasn’t what he gave his stranger, but his ability to give as a friend — that was his finest possession. As Andrea Anderson knows, a gift from the heart requires no compensation, and even the blind can see if they are willing to witness.

Anderson, executive director at Bureau County United Way, Inc. (BCUW), said the goal for 2015 is not just to raise $102,000, but to support 14 local nonprofit agencies that act as trees of fruit in a forest of hunger.

“We are hitting the campaign hard now through Dec. 31 because we want to help make people aware of why the United Way is critical for the county and its communities,” said Anderson, who is in her second year at the helm for BCUW. “We are living longer now, so we must be prepared to promote the wellness of all those we help.”

Anderson said the BCUW really “runs the gamut”

Cutting down the ivory tower Jennifer Fisher encourages proposed ban on elephant ivory in United States

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — Jennifer Fisher traveled over to Sri Lanka, an island country in South Asia, for one month in 2007 to do biological research. Her focus was on her favorite animal, elephants, and her research allowed for a daily treasure hunt of enlightenment.

After witnessing the beauty of these sacred creatures and the devastation poachers leave in their wake, one thing became crystal clear to Fisher. Only elephants need ivory.

Fisher, of Tiskilwa, said a federal ban has been proposed which pertains to the sale of African elephant ivory.

The proposal’s intent is to preserve the African elephant population by eliminating all undocumented and illegal trafficking of ivory in the United States, which will deter poaching due to a plunging ivory market.

During Fisher’s time in Sri Lanka, she studied the natural behavior of Asian elephants as well as their interaction with the Sri Lankan population. She said elephants are a very smart, communal species that mourn their dead and branch out to form new herds as each herd becomes overpopulated.

She said the poor Sri Lankan citizens must work daily with minimal means to sustain their communities and the families within them. They utilize bio-fencing by planting citrus plants around their crops

to discourage elephants from eating the crops, as elephants hate citrus fruits.

The elephants are unnecessarily eliminated if they are a nuisance to the livelihood of Sri Lankan families, and Fisher says poaching is already robbing the planet of this endangered species at an offensive rate.

“The ivory market is a multi-million dollar industry,” said Fisher, who worked with the Saving Elephants by Helping People organization while in Sri Lanka. “Elephants can survive with naturally broken tusks, but poacher don’t care. They won’t risk walking up and cutting them off; they’ll just shoot the animal in the head.”

Fisher said the proposed ban is not a mission to eliminate all the ivory on the earth, reminiscent to a task force breaking down your door and taking all your antique heirlooms, but an effort to dissuade the illegal marketing of ivory.

Poachers are not stupid, she added, and they will continue inhumane practices if the demand for ivory remains apparently consistent.

Fisher also showed concern for the Asian elephant population concerning human influence on the species’ genetic code. By poaching elephants with tusks and leaving elephants without, the chance for tusks in future generations decreases dramatically.

“Two parents without tusks will rarely birth an elephant with tusks, and so we are making this animal adapt to us,” Fisher said,

adding it would be a shame if Asian elephants go extinct without their tusks. “Nature didn’t do that; we did that.”

Recent human encroachment and land development often drives the elephants into unprotected areas, where poachers can feast on the beautiful beasts in their acquisition of ivory.

Fisher is disgusted by the hundreds of thousands of pounds of ivory seized from poacher dens on a yearly basis, because these are animals, not baseball cards.

Elephant population control is still allowed through culling on a restricted basis, but Fisher believes the world has more than its fair share of ivory.

“You can have it, we just don’t want you to buy any more, or sell it without documentation,” she urged, stating she hopes to work in a zoo or in a field similar to what she experienced in Sri Lanka after her youngest makes it to elementary school age.

“I loved being in the jungle, and when I go back to work I will be a biological researcher, because although you don’t always see the animal you’re still doing something for them,” said Fisher. “Ivory is still in demand, so we have to do something different, even if it’s only baby steps.”

The ivory ban proposal ends Sept. 28. Visit the Fish & Wildlife Service website at www.fws.gov; the Wildlife Conservation Society at www.wcs.org; or www.96elephants.org to save an elephant’s life.

An anniversary for Wedding

$1,930: 10-4 good buddy

Bud Wedding celebrates 50 years in scouting

on the front of their business or residence.

Lawson agreed to report any residences he sees not in compliance. The village office has then been asked to send letters to those residents not displaying numbers.

At the request of Walnut Village Superintendent Carl Minks, the board agreed to purchase new tires and have the alignment done on the village utility truck. The tires and alignment will be purchased from Fisch Motors, Walnut.

Village Clerk Tiffany Pistole reported on several ongoing issues.

• Pistole first gave an update on the 128 S. Main St. property. The board discussed possible next steps for this property and ultimately agreed to have Pistole contact the county treasurer and ascertain the current status of the property and what the current assessed valuation would be.

• The clerk also stated that previously the board had questioned whether or not the ordinances of the village allow for trailers to be replaced within a trailer park if a trailer is destroyed or removed. Pistole had contacted the village attorney, Rob LaSage, and he has confirmed the ordinances do provide for replacement within a trailer park.

• Additionally, Pistole reported the paperwork for the purchase of the Peterson property near the holding pond has been completed, and as soon as all of the paperwork has been finalized, a closing will be held and the sale will be finalized.

The board then discussed two properties located on Brewer Street in the village.

These properties are in disrepair, and the village has received complaints from the neighbors of these properties. The board is concerned for the neighbors, but after discussing the possible expenses involved with condemning these properties and the village taking ownership, it was agreed the village needs to take its time and exhaust all other avenues before proceeding with condemning. It was also agreed the police chief will monitor these properties and will issue citations for any ordinance violations seen.

A decision was also made to send a letter to the owner of these properties, asking the owner to come to either a board meeting or a committee meeting to discuss his plans for these properties.

Lastly, the board set the Halloween Trickor-Treat hours for the village for 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, for the entire village and then from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Heritage Health in Walnut.

PRINCETON — Harold “Bud” Wedding, 83, of Princeton was recently recognized for his 50 years of leadership to the Illinois Boy Scouts Troop 1063.

At a reception held at the Hampshire Colony Congregational Church, he was honored by the city and received a special Boy Scouts pin for his dedication and service to the organization.

Wedding started out as a Webelo Cub Scouts leader in 1965. His brother-in-law talked him into becoming a leader, and his son was interested in joining the Cub Scouts, so he agreed to the offer. In 1969 the Princeton Optimist Club contacted him and asked if he would have any interest in being a scout master for Troop 1063.

WALNUT— Walnut Police Chief Glenn Lawson discussed with the village board the continuing problems with police radio reception in the Walnut area.

Previously, the Walnut Police Department had purchased portable radios and repeaters for the squad cars. There has been an ongoing problem with interference and static on these radios.

Lawson has been in contact with Radio Ranch of Rock Falls regarding the problems with the radios. Radio Ranch was the supplier of the current radio equipment.

Radio Ranch came to the village with testing equipment and said Walnut sits in a “bowl” and because of that “bowl,” all of the radio frequencies in the surrounding area are picked up by the current police radios on the frequency being used.

It is the proposal of Radio Ranch the FCC be contacted to approve a lower frequency to be used by the Walnut Police Department. This lower frequency would help to eliminate the interference, as there would be less radio traffic on this lower frequency.

Radio Ranch is also proposing a new filtering system for the squad cars, new repeaters and new portable radios that will be set to this new lower frequency.

The cost of this new equipment and the approval of the new frequency will cost the village $1,930, per the proposal from Radio Ranch. This amount includes $1,120 that Radio Ranch will be giving the village as a trade in on their current equipment.

The board expressed its concern about what kind of guarantee is being given by Radio Ranch that this new equipment and frequency will solve the current problems.

Lawson stated he has their proposal in writing and has received assurance this will solve the issues.

The board approved this expenditure, and the new equipment will be installed and received after approval from the FCC for the lower frequency.

Lawson also informed the board his department had been approached by the Walnut Fire Department and EMS department regarding the lack of visible street addresses on many homes and buildings within the village. This recently caused a response time delay by these agencies.

The board agreed this is something that needs to be rectified and encourages all village residents to display house numbers large enough to be visible from the street

After 15 years in the child care field, Anderson understands the importance of relationships driven by composure and respect.

She said the BCUW is bursting at the seams with responsibilities, so they are advocating a realistic approach to this year’s fundraising efforts as to focus on needs rather than capital. Instead of setting a ridiculous standard that gives the perception of poor job management when unfulfilled, Anderson said the goal of $102,000 is not only within reach, but within reason.

“Even as the economic climate takes an upward tick, it takes longer for smaller communities to feel the impact,” Anderson said, noting BCUW is peeling back its layers to ensure all funds are allocated to the entire county. “It’s especially important to me to keep the dignity in it all.”

Anderson has great respect for all the BCUW volunteers, because “without them this doesn’t work,” and she understands no one wants to be in need, but some are, and

Enforcing rules at future Homestead Parades

Also on Monday, Sept. 21, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root addressed an issue that occurred during this year’s Homestead Parade.

“A lot of people saw the issues and concerns with this year’s parade that took place with the floats. It basically had to do with some unruly individuals, not everybody — this was a couple of bad apples spoiled the whole barrel,” he said.

Root mentioned there was a lot of alcohol consumption at the parade, and it caused an issue between two floats.

To help prevent the issue from occurring again, Root met with the Homestead Festival and parade committees and came up with ideas

on how to curtail future problems.

Root said the parade committee came up with the idea that the driver of a float will be responsible for the unit being pulled.

“He probably needs to get out and inspect that float periodically and make sure there’s nothing on there that should be. I think his license will be at stake basically, because if there’s alcohol consumption and so

forth, he could be ticketed for that,” Root said.

“That’s a big move right there. That should really help us.”

Root said the committees will continue to meet periodically throughout the coming year.

“I think it’s a matter of all us working together and enforcing what we can,” he said. “The Homestead Festival in itself is a great event, and I don’t think anybody wants to see too many restrictions put on, but enough that we make it enjoyable for a family fun day, especially during the parade time,” he said.

In other news, the council:

• Approved the second reading of an ordinance that will increase the maximum number of Class A liquor licenses to 30 and Class B liquor licenses to 14.

• Approved the low bid of Brandt Builders, Inc. of Morris to do sewer work in the Fox Creek Subdivision at a cost of $189,158.04.

Celebrating Freedom: Bureau County Emancipation Day in Princeton

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

What I’ve learned about runners It’s been seven months since I started a running program, and I truly feel I am fitter and stronger than I have been in years. I’m not setting any speed records and I know Shanon I never will, but I’ve Serpette steadily improved and am now starting to COMMENTARY bump up my weekly mileage in preparation for the Lincoln Presidential half marathon in April.

Here’s a few things I’ve learned in the past few months that only runners will understand.

Personal bests: It doesn’t matter how small the margin, when you beat your personal best time, even if it is by a second, you feel like there’s nothing you can’t accomplish.

My best time for a one-mile run just improved the other day. I went from a best of 10 minutes and 30 seconds, down to 10 minutes and 25 seconds. Sure, it was only a five second difference, but I acted like I had just landed on the moon. It was a big moment for me.

Beating a man: This one is for the ladies. Men, in general, are faster runners than women. That’s a fact. And that is why there is nothing I love more than passing a male runner during a race. Genetics give them an edge, which is why I want to suppress a giggle every time I pass one.

I have always rooted for the underdog, and in running, women are definitely the underdogs.

There’s always someone faster ... and they might be double your age: I think most runners reach a point where they start to feel a bit smug. Maybe they’ve just beat someone in a race who is a decade younger than they are. Or maybe they’ve just beat their personal best and are feeling like a rock star. That feeling doesn’t last long in running.

Case in point: I was out for a one-mile speed run the other day, and I was crushing it. I knew I was on pace for one of my best times ever. As I was running the last lap, a wellknown runner from my town, a man in his 80s, passed me. I was bested by an octogenarian and we both knew it. With a smile, he kicked past me effortlessly. My feelings of self-satisfaction evaporated as quickly as they came on, and he probably had the biggest smile on his face the rest of the day.

You learn to love dressing like a superhero: I never thought my wardrobe would include so much spandex and so many bright colors.

Barely moving: Some days you feel like The Flash out there running, but other days it is a struggle just to finish your miles and you feel like you’re barely moving. There have been days I felt like I would look down at my feet and see a snail passing me. Every runner knows what this feels like.

You’re in a brotherhood: Despite wanting to beat them in every race, you greatly respect other runners, often even before you know them. You share the same struggles and have the same passion. It’s fun to meet others who understand things like foam rollers and plantar fasciitis.

You’ve realized running doesn’t sap your energy, it gives you energy: In my early days, I thought running three or four miles would exhaust me, and I’d better not plan on doing anything else after that. Now I’ve realized I have far more energy after a run than I do on non-running days.

A carboholic’s paradise: There’s not much I love more than carbs. Whether it is pasta, bread or crackers, I’m happy. As long as I’m running, I feel I can guiltlessly indulge in carbs, within moderation, of course. One of the reasons I’m doing a half marathon in the spring is because I’m gleefully imagining all the carbs I can eat while training.

An obsessive need to perfect the playlist: Let’s be clear — without music, I would never, ever run. It gives me something to focus on besides my heavy panting, and it keeps me entertained. Music inspires me to run faster when I need to, and it gives me a few minutes where I can just unwind while getting my exercise in. Since it is an integral part of my run, I spend a lot of time on it, adding and removing songs from my playlist. I have different playlists for 5Ks, half marathon training sessions and slow runs. I’m always on the lookout for good running music, so if anyone has some suggestions, please email me. I’d love to hear them.

It’s been a Princeton tradition since well before the Civil War to celebrate Independence Day, July 4, with a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Its promise -- that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights – of course left out several million Americans until slavery was abolished.

For many years in the latter part of the 19th century, there was another Princeton patriotic observance in late September: Emancipation Day. It was organized

by African-Americans who had settled in Princeton and other parts of Bureau County at the close of the Civil War. For them, most of whom had fled slavery, the most precious American document was not the Declaration of Independence but the Emancipation Proclamation.

Though the official Emancipation Proclamation was issued on Jan. 1, 1863, it was preceded on Sept. 22, 1862, by what is known as the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. After the North’s military victory at Antietam on Sept. 17, President Lincoln made public his intent, as of Jan. 1, 1863, to free the slaves in any state still at war with the Union. The news was met with jubilation by African-Americans everywhere and by many white Americans as well, including in Princeton.

Sept. 22, the date of Lincoln’s announcement, became known as Emancipation Day. The tradition of celebrating it on this date began in 1874 in Gallia County, Ohio, where it is still observed.

In 1879, the Princeton African-American community began its own tradition of observing Emancipation Day. For most years between 1879 and the early 1890s, a local organizing committee would plan a major celebration for Sept. 22.

Emancipation Day would kick off with a large and long procession through town. It would begin at the AME (African Methodist Episcopal) Church (on Church Street opposite where the Hi-Rise now stands), then continue north to the train depot, south on Main Street, around the Courthouse, back north on Main Street to Peru and then west to the Bureau County Fairgrounds. A community band (often Southwell’s) would head the procession, followed by a horse-drawn “chariot” (wagon) carrying several young black women dressed in white and each holding a flag with the name of a state or U.S. territory. One of the women (often a daughter of the local Moses, Nash or Smith families) would be dressed more formally and stand higher in the center to represent the Goddess of Liberty.

At the fairgrounds, the crowd would listen to a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation (by one of the young women) and speeches by the organizing committee and guests from out of town. The program always involved both black and white speakers. One of the African-American speakers was often the Rev. James Suggs. Suggs had escaped from slavery in North Carolina, and after serving in the Union Army, became a preacher. He and his wife Malinda eventually made their way to Bureau County and settled near Providence, where they had four daughters. Later the family moved to Kansas where Suggs had a long ministerial career.

George Tisdell, a longtime African-American resident of Princeton, was the chair of the 1887 Emancipation Day. It was an especially important occasion that year because it was the 25th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Tisdell introduced General Thomas J. Henderson, a Princeton lawyer and U.S. Congressman, to give a keynote address. Henderson was one of several local white Civil War veterans who would over the years be asked to speak on Emancipation Day. The Princeton observance of Emancipation Day was often a big celebration, with 500 or more people (both black and white) attending. The annual march to the depot as part of the procession was to greet African-Americans from Aurora, Mendota and Kewanee arriving by train. Others would come from Hennepin and Granville for the festivities.

Most years after the procession through town and the program at the fairgrounds, food would be shared, and in the evening, a ball would be held at Opera Hall at the north end (above the former Nelson’s Drug Store, now Maria’s Pizza) or at Apollo Hall at the south end.

The idea of celebrating Sept. 22 (or Jan. 1 for that matter) as an official national holiday never took hold.

But these dates as much as — or even more than – the Fourth of July represent milestones in fulfilling the declaration of equality and inalienable rights for all so boldly claimed in our nation’s founding document. It took the Emancipation Proclamation to begin to make good on that promise.

Tigers moving on, set sights on Fulton Tigers receiving notice

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Saturday’s win over Hall was all about making a statement for the Princeton Tigers, proving a point they are indeed a force to be reckoned with in the Three Rivers Conference and beyond. This week’s game with Fulton is all about moving on.

The Tigers will take a 4-0 record into battle against the Steamers, who are coming in 1-3, notching their first win, 53-7 over Riverdale Saturday. The match up under the Friday Night Lights of Bryant Field is the BCR Game of the Week for Week 5 of the 2015 season.

“I think we proved some stuff (Saturday). Playing those (first) three weeks against those teams, but coming out here against Hall proving ourselves and

Game Page 15

The Princeton Tigers are on the bubble of being ranked.

Last week’s 14-7 win over Hall has given the Tigers notice in this week’s Associated Press’ poll. While they are not ranked in the top 10 in 3A, the Tigers collected seven votes to stand tied with Marshall in the 11th spot.

Sterling Newman stands atop the 3A poll. Erie/ Prophetstown, also from the Three Rivers Mississippi Division, moved up one spot to No. 9 in 3A. It is the Tigers’ first time being ranked since the 2002 season.

With its loss, Hall (2-2) fell from No. 2 in 2A to No. 6. Rockridge, which was the preseason No. 1 in 2A, remains at No. 7.

Volleyball: LaMoille/Ohio def. DePue 25-21, 25-7

Right at home in Ohio

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

OHIO — The LaMoille/Ohio Lady Lions made short work of the DePue Lady Giants as they trailed early in the first game by one point but dominated from there on out, taking the match 25-21, 25-7 Monday, Sept. 21.

L/O plays most of their home games in LaMoille, but twice annually, they open up the facilities in Ohio for the home crowd at Ohio.

“I thought our girls really came alive in the second game, and I was glad to see everyone contribute tonight,” LO Coach Hallie May said.

“We tried a different lineup in the first game, and

we just had fun tonight.

We always love coming to Ohio to play; the crowd was great, and it was good to get the win while we were here.”

DePue grabbed its first and only lead of the match on a serve from senior Melissa Serrano at 3-2. A 15-3 streak by L/O that was capped off by back-to-back aces from outside hitter Erika Zimmerlein put the Lady Lions out front 17-6.

“I think we came out really strong, but when we get into longer rallies like we did in the second game, it just gets us down. We kind of beat BCR photo/Dan Dwyer ourselves up mentally, and we have trouble LaMoille/Ohio’s Alana Cherry (14) soars for a spike recovering from that.

Answering some 1989 Princeton Tiger trivia While I heard a lot of response about my column last week about the 1989 Princeton Tiger football team and PHS Class of ‘90, I didn’t get any takers on my Tiger trivia. I had asked if anyone could list all the starters from that famed Tiger Style Running Wild team.

I had a pretty good idea, but admittedly needed some help from my old pal, Jay Alter.

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Here’s how they lined up: On the line the Tigers had Jeff Donarski at left tackle, Brian Drake at left guard, Eric

Pierce at center, Moe Read at right guard and Clint Peterson at right tackle. Darryn Foley played tight end and Chad Hamel was the wideout. Doug Bruyn quarterbacked the team with Sean Schickel at fullback and John Tucker and Jimmy “Hoops” Robbins sharing tailback duties.

On the defensive side of the ball, Pierce and Foley manned the ends with Patrick “Murph”

Cater, Read (nose guard) and Bill Kissick across the line. Linebackers were Chris Rossler and Mark Griswold on the outside and Kirk Stevens in the middle.

Bruyn played corner, Alter was strong safety and Hamel the free safety.

How well did you do? I’m sure all those names are very familiar 26 years later.

That was a special team and a special time in Princeton.

Perhaps this year’s team will be remembered in a special way 26 years from now.

• Passing the torch: Speaking of the 1989ers, it was cool to see former PHS coach Randy Swinford share a special moment congratulating current Tiger skipper Jesse Snyder after Saturday’s win at Hall. Swinford returned to the sidelines to

Ohio From Page 13 just need to focus staying strong mentally throughout each game and not quitting on ourselves,” DePue coach Angela Richards said.

DePue tried to battle back chipping away at the LO lead but came up short in its quest for a first game comeback 25-21.

What glimmer of hope the Lady Giants had after their comeback going into the second game was quickly dispatched by the Lady Lions and sophomore middle blocker Lexi Loftus. She got the ball in her hands with the score 8-4 and quickly rattled off 11 in a row to charge up the home crowd, as they grew more excited with each point.

“Lexi is one of the hardest workers on our team. She has a great work ethic and because she pushes herself so hard in practice, that directly transfers to the games. You can see how much effort she puts, and she can just come out and perform,” May said.

Zimmerlein played a huge part of the 11-point surge, as she had five kills during the stretch including three thunderous spikes that DePue had little chance of handling.

“Until somebody stops her, we do feed her, but we are definitely well rounded as a team. Once she gets set up with the way she jumps it’s almost a certain thing that she’s going to do something with it and put it away,” May said.

Loftus finished the evening with three kills, three digs and 11 points, Zimmerlein added 12 kills, one dig and two points. Junior Paige Conner also made her presence felt setting up many of Zimmerlein’s kills with 12 assists, two kills and one dig.

Both teams will be back on the court at 7 p.m. Thursday as L/O will take on Indian Creek in LaMoille, while DePue will be at Midland.

PigskinPreviews (Week 5) Fulton (1-3, 1-1) at Princeton (4-0, 2-0)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Bryant Field.

BCR insider: See more in Game of Week.

Last week: Fulton beat Riverdale 53-7; PHS beat Hall 14-7.

Last year: Fulton 40-21.

All-time series: Fulton 2-0.

Radio: WZOE 1490 AM.

Kewanee (2-2, 1-1) at St. Bede (2-2, 0-2)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday, St. Bede.

BCR insider: The Boilermakers can no longer be overlooked by anyone. They played state-ranked Newman to a nine-point game last week in a game they led 29-22 after three quarters. They have added the highly athletic Donovan Oliver, best known for his basketball prowess, and are a force to be reckoned with.

“Kewanee is a very good football team. They are big and athletic and pose many problems for us on both sides of the ball. Oliver is a great addition for them, and they have many weapons offensively. We need to play physical, disciplined football on both sides of the ball and eliminate mistakes,” SBA coach Jim Eustice said ... Junior Brady Booker return to action defensively last week, but the Bruins were still fighting injuries early in the week.

Last week: Kewanee lost to Newman 38-29; St. Bede beat Sherrard 43-0.

Last year: St. Bede 46-6.

All-time series: St. Bede 3-2.

Radio: WSOG 88.1 FM.

Hall (3-1, 1-1) at Sherrard (0-4, 0-2)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

BCR insider: This is bounce back week for the Red Devils after last week’s 14-7 loss to rival Princeton, Hall’s first of the season. That defeat should be more than enough for the Red Devils not to overlook winless Sherrard. Hall coach Randy Tieman has no doubt his kids will rebound strong. “We

talked to the kids and told them Princeton was only one game, and one game will not determine our season. We have to move on and get ready for Sherrard. I believe in our kids, and I’m sure we will rebound this week,” Tieman said.

Last week: Hall lost to Princeton 14-7; Sherrard lost to St. Bede 43-0.

Last year: Hall 41-0.

All-time series: Hall 8-2.

Radio: WAJK 99.3 FM.

Amboy/LaMoille (2-2, 1-0) at Bureau Valley (1-3, 0-2)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

BCR insider: The Storm are hoping there’s no place like home, especially when it’s Homecoming Week.

They have come under fire in road losses to Rockridge and Orion the last two weeks. In those two games, they have been outscored 107-26.

The schedule becomes much more favorable in Three Rivers Rock play, but the Storm needs to get things kick-started Friday. It will certainly help to get some injured players back on the field. “We are finally going to be healthy and get a couple kids back. Should be a good game and they are always well coached and physical. Hopefully we can get back on track,” BV coach Spencer Davis said. The Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned between games Friday.

Last week: A/L lost to E/P 32-7; BV lost Orion 57-12.

Last year: BV 46-12.

All-time series: BV 8-7.

Radio: WZOE 98.12 FM.

Game From Page 13 proving we can play ball,” senior fullback Jacob “Bubba” Smith said.

“4-0 is not good enough, yet, but I feel like a huge weight’s been lifted off our shoulders.

Proving we can beat Hall, it’s a notice to the conference; we’re just after that fifth and sixth win now,” senior quarterback Jake Reinhardt said.

And now the Tigers have to move on from that big win, fourth-year head coach Jesse Snyder said.

“It is very important to refocus on our goals for the season and the program. Last week was part of our goals, and now we need to focus on Fulton and prepare.” he said.

The Tigers will encounter a Steamers squad which is a very physical and runs the ball extremely well, Snyder said. Fulton got its first win of the season Saturday, routing Riverdale 53-7.

“We need to be extremely focused on our assignments offensively and defensively.

It will be important for us to continue to play physical and assignment football,” he said.

Smash-mouth football is the way the Steamers like to play, coach Patrick Lower said.

“We like to think we are (physical), we like to think we’re more of a smashmouth type team. I think to survive in this conference you have to be a very physical football team,” he said. “We have been very physical in three out of our four games so far. The one exception, Orion, we didn’t play very well the entire night and they are a very good team and took it to us.”

Maybe it’s the new charcoal gray uniforms, but the Tigers have sparkled on both sides of the ball. They have outscored

There won’t be any bulletin board material in the PHS locker room this week. The Tigers have convinced all the prognosticators they are for real after last week’s big win at Hall.

“Our defense has worked so hard. We’ve given up 13 points all year. It’s just a big testament to our defense and what they can do,” said Reinhardt, who doubles as free safety.

“I love our defense.

Every single one of those guys knows how to play.

They all take pride in their positions,” Smith said.

“This year, we’re playing as a true team. Everybody’s doing their assignments, and we’re looking for the ‘W’ instead of personal achievements.

We’re really playing for each other. We’re going out there every day thinking we can’t be stopped and nobody can beat us.”

Simply put, the Tigers are a load, Lower said, pointing to their overall team speed and experience.

While satisfying notching his first win over Hall as a head coach, Snyder was most happy for his kids.

“It’s more special for the kids because they put the work in, especially the seniors the past three years; they busted and grinded and did all things the right way,” he said. “That’s who I’m the happiest for. They did all the little things right and came out and proved that (Saturday).”

Tiger tales: The 4-0 start is the first for Princeton since the 2002 season in which they reached the 4A semifinals before falling to eventual state champ Addison Driscoll. ... Friday’s cross-over game in the Three Rivers marks just the second meeting between the new conference rivals. Fulton (which is in the TRAC Rock Division) won the first meeting last year 40-21.

Then the instructors lined up in front to demonstrate the types of field carries. They showed the six carries and explained which would be used in what situation. They also explained shooting zones.

The next topic was ethics. I’m glad they spent quite a bit of time on this because I sometime think this area is overlooked. A long time ago, Aldo Leopold, the “father of wildlife management,” once said, “Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching, even when doing the wrong thing is legal.”

The ethical code that hunters use today has

Respect natural resources, respect other hunters, respect landowners and respect non-hunters.

They finished up the course with survival skills and first aid.

I personally want to thank these volunteer instructors for the time spent in teaching the youth of Bureau County. There is a lot of man hours involved in presenting this course. Thanks also goes to the local chapter of Pheasants Forever for supplying the lunch and water for all who took the course. In addition, thanks to Whitetails Unlimited for supplying the firearms used in the demonstrations.

We hope the children who took the course will become responsible firearm handlers in the home and in the field.

• In perfect Aimone: Former Hall Red Devil Colin Aimone, now a Eureka College Red Devil, was recently selected as the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week. The sophomore punter had three punts, including a 71-yarder in the fourth quarter in the Red Devils’ 32-21 victory over Knox at McKinzie Field in Eureka Sept. 5.

Aimone is a criminal justice major.

Teammates at Eureka include freshman Josh Mead (Bureau Valley) and sophomore Matt Gibson (Princeton).

• Get well, Jackson: I want to give a shoutout to Jackson Heiden, 12, of Spring Valley, the son of my old pal Matt Heiden. The JFK seventh-grader is at St. Francis Hospital in Peoria experiencing a lot of stomach discomfort. Still he made sure to tune in his brother’s (Hall senior Christian) game on the radio Saturday and watch the Bears with his dad Sunday.

Jackson is an outstanding soccer player, a member of the Chicago Fire Juniors South Premiere Pre-Academy team out of Orland Park.

You can send him an ecard at https://www. osfhealthcare.org/ecards. I’m sure he’d love to hear from you.

Get well real soon, Jackson. That cheeseburger is going to taste real good when you get out.

Illinois Valley Scene

IVSO will open its 66th season on Sept. 26 LASALLE — The Illinois Valley Symphonic Orchestra will open its 66th season with a real crowd pleaser, Afro-American Celebration, the annual Pops concert, at the Illinois Valley Community College Cultural Centre at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.

Returning for her seventh season, esteemed music director and conductor Lucia Matos will feature harpist Faye Seeman, performing “Ennanga for Harp and Orchestra” by William Grant Still.

The audience will also be treated to the tunes of renowned artists Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Scott Joplin and other African-American composers.

Faye Seeman has distinguished herself as one of the most versatile harpists in the Midwest by venturing away from playing traditional classical music. As a solo artist, she completed her first CD, Nearer to Heaven, in 2010, recorded at Baylor University chapel in Seattle. She and several colleagues from the Chicago jazz community established the “ZigZaG” jazz harp quartet (harp, piano, bass and drums), exploring an electric blend of jazz, classical, and new age styles of music. Their CD Caught features several of her own compositions, several jazz standards and free improvisation.

One of Faye’s proudest

accomplishments is the commission of a concerto for harp and orchestra in memory of her late father, violinist and conductor Ernest Seeman.

Noted Chicago composer Gustavo Leone composed the concerto, which premiered in 2006 at the Birch Creek Music Festival in Door County, Wis.

Ready to see some fall foliage?

AccuWeather reports weather conditions over the past few months have laid the foundation for a vibrant display of fall colors in the East, but temperatures in the coming weeks will be the determining factor, experts say.

“I think, overall, that trees are going into the autumn in good physiological condition,” Marc Abrams, professor of ecosystem science and management at Penn State University, said.

“Assuming that we get a normal cooldown in late September to mid-October, the fall colors should be very good.”

To date, the best displays are expected to be visible in New England, upstate New York and the Great Lakes states, but temperatures in the coming weeks could stunt the development of the East’s traditional bright colors.

“The upcoming weather is very important,” Abrams said.

From late September to mid-October, a cold snap paired with dry conditions helps to bring out the vibrant reds, yellows and oranges.

“We want to avoid warm, wet and windy weather during that time,” he said.

According to Abrams, bright colors are also in the offing for the Appalachian

Mountains and as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee.

Three primary factors influence the intensity of foliage colors during the fall season: photoperiod, cool air and water stress.

“The proper photoperiod is upon us,” Michael Day, associate research professor of physiological ecology for the University of Maine, said.

“In the Northeast, trees have had above-average late summer water stress, but we are yet to have a substantial cool period over much of our area,” he said.

However, forecasters predict autumn’s chill may be delayed this year, proving to be bad news for leaf-peepers planning vacations around the seasonal sights.

“A very warm pattern will be found across much of the central and eastern United States through the end of September, particularly in the Great Lakes, Appalachians and Northeast, where temperatures will average well above normal,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Anthony Sagliani said.

“Through the first half of October, we expect a generally warm pattern will remain in place. There are a couple of signs for a cool shot or two, but any long-lived cold snaps appear unlikely,” he said.

Bake at 375° on lowest oven rack for 60 to 65 minutes so all juices are thick and bubbly, and crust is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a long wooden pick through sides of crust. Shield pie with aluminum foil after 50 minutes, if necessary to prevent excessive browning. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Place a serving plate over top of pie, invert pie onto serving plate.
