BV supports Walnut Ridge Project could generate about $776,000 in revenue

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley School Board on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution to support the Walnut Ridge wind farm project, which is currently being developed

by Geronimo Energy.

The project is expected to contain about 225 megawatts of power with about 80 percent located within the taxing jurisdiction of the school district.

Superintendent Steve Endress explained the proposed project would increase the district’s equalized assessed valuation (EAV) by as much as 25 percent. The project is expected to generate about $776,000 in total property tax revenue on a yearly basis for the district.

“Obviously given our large budget deficit, we are interested in projects that bring revenue to the district and allow us to continue to offer the opportunities we have in the past, as well as the opportunities that we’re talking about in the future,” Endress said. “We know quality comes with a price, and so from an administrative perspective, pursuing revenue is something we have to be serious about.”

Keith Bolin, project developer of Walnut Ridge, said this is an exciting time right now and something he is very proud in which to be a part.

“The real wealth of Bureau County is the people,” he said. “To get people to Bureau County, we have to have jobs, economic development and a tax base, and this project uniquely does both.”

The Walnut Ridge wind farm project is still being actively developed. Tom Swierczewski, project manager, explained they are getting ready to send an application to Bureau County for a conditional use permit for the project, and they anticipate that Year 168 No. 115 Two Sections - 28 Pages

Walnut Ridge touts the advantages The top three advantages of Walnut Ridge Wind Farm, as told by project manager Tom Swierczewski: • The rural economic development aspects of the project, in particular the direct benefits to Bureau Valley with the additional $776,000 in tax revenue.

• The job creation.

In the construction phase of the project, about 200 temporary jobs will be created in building the wind farm.

Once the wind farm is up and online, about 16 permanent, full-time jobs are expected to stay for the purpose of maintaining and operating the wind farm.

• The charitable funding generated by the project for the community. The community fund will receive $42,000 on a yearly basis and will be controlled by a committee made up of local participants.

Swierczewski explained that’s a very significant amount of money that can be used for things like new lights for the football field or for local FFA organizations and 4-H clubs.

Rural Princeton home a total loss 50 firefighters respond to the incident

PRINCETON — The investigation continues into a Tuesday afternoon fire that destroyed a rural Princeton home about five miles southeast of Princeton.

Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley said the Princeton Fire Department received the emer-

family, wood frame dwelling, Woolley said. With the amount of damage that had already occurred when firefighters arrived, it seemed the fire had been burning unnoticed for a while.

No one was at the home when firefighters arrived, Woolley said.

The cause of the fire, and where it began within the house, has not yet been determined, Woolley said. The state fire marshal was called to the scene Tuesday and was expected to return on Wednesday. With this type of destruction, it might take a little longer if

Have you received your flu shot yet? Now is the time!

By Donna Barker PRINCETON — Now’s the time to take precautions against the coming flu season.

The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department is one of several local entities offering flu vaccines to area residents.

The local health department had its first flu clinic this year on Monday at the Bureau County Senior

Center with more clinics held Wednesday in Walnut, Wyanet, Manlius and Tiskilwa. The health department has scheduled another 10 clinics throughout Bureau County and three clinics in Putnam County.

On Tuesday, the health department’s Director of Nursing Laurie Geuther said this year’s vaccine is a quadrivalent vaccine, which offers protection against four different influenza viruses,

two A viruses and two B viruses. Previously, the flu vaccines gave protection against only three strains of the flu virus. There is no supply issues this year for the vaccine, she said.

As announced earlier, the Bureau Putnam County Health Department will accept private insurance for adults and children, as well as Medicare Part B. Medicaid is only accepted for children 18 years and under. Persons should bring with them their appropriate card (private insurance, Medicare Part B or Medicaid card) to the clinic.

Flu shots are $30 except

any items have to be sent to a state lab for further study, Woolley said.

The entire residence and its contents were all basically destroyed, Woolley said. Everything but a small section of wall was totally charred and had collapsed into the basement.

An estimated 50 firefighters were involved in Tuesday’s response. Firefighters remained on the scene until about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. No injuries were reported. No other buildings on the Parr property were damaged.

will happen in October.

While there isn’t a set schedule in place right now, Swierczewski is anticipating construction of the project to begin as early as 2016.

Theoretically, if the project is underway at that time, Bureau Valley will begin seeing the tax revenue flow as early was 2018.

The residence, owned by Princeton businessman Ernie Parr, was fully involved in flames when Princeton firefighters arrived at the scene at 2250 East Street, next to Hornbaker Gardens.

Once on the scene, firefighters initiated a defensive attack, stretching water hoses and setting up a water shuttle with responding water tankers to fight the fire from the exterior of the single-

The best way for people to protect themselves against the flu is to get vaccinated, Geuther said.

Also, if people feel sick, they should stay home.

Those people most susceptible to getting the flu are adults ages 65 years and older and children younger than 5 years, especially those younger than 2, as well as

165 years and going strong St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrates 165th anniversary

By Deb Young Special to the BCR

On Sunday, Sept. 28, St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, eight miles east of Princeton and just north of Route 6, will celebrate its 165th anniversary. Rich in history, church records reveal its early beginnings with settlers coming to the area in the spring of 1834.

In the fall of 1833, John Hassler and his family left their home in Munich, Bavaria, to come to the New World. After months on a sailing vessel, the family came to New Orleans and later traveled up the river until they reached Peoria.

From that point the family split up to better explore more territory. Some of the sons continued upstream by way of the Illinois River.

According to church records, “The group that went through Peoria to Hennepin found good land nearby. This land, which was to become the Princeton area of Bureau County, was a great wilderness with a mighty river nearby” and after exploration, decided on the territory surrounding the present location of St. John’s Lutheran Church.

In the spring of 1834, they traveled to Galena where the land sale was being held for Bureau County. They purchased the land from a Mr. Hall and permanently settled there.

Early records state “The Indians of the territory were numerous, but they were friendly to the whites and offered no difficulties as they started to settle this part of the country.”

Later, as word reached the Old Country, more families came and settled in the area. Some of the earliest recorded settlers are the Croisants, Searls, Werners, Lehrers, Mays, Merkels, Schneiders, Stadlers, Heits, Heintas, Albrechts, Ihrigs, Walters, Wagners, Hills, Duntermans, Haltes, Keuters, Weissenbergs, Schirmers, Bolzs, Mosers, Linkers, Schlunds, Retts, Wolfs and Hahns.

It was not until several years later that the settlement was visited by itinerant Lutheran ministers who served large territories and paid only occasional visits, sometimes taking months to cover such a large area as they mostly traveled by foot or by horse back. During these times, services were held at the log homes of the settlers but usually at the home of Carl Hassler.

While services were conducted as often as possible, it was not until March 3, 1849, that St. John’s Church was organized in the home of Theodor Walther. Carl Hassler donated two acres of land for church needs. A small building was erected and was used for a school

house and also for services.

It measured 36-feet-by-18 feet, and later, two rooms were added to serve as a parsonage. In October 1853, the edifice of the first church building was complete, and by 1858, enough money was raised to complete the interior work. Total cost of the new church building was $1,425.49. The first church was a simple building. It did not have a bell, nor did it have a tower for a bell.

The church constitution at that time is written in German script and states the original name of the Church on the Hill as “The German Evangelical Luther Saint Johns Church of Selby Township, Bureau County, Illinois.” This lengthy name remained on the records until 1950. Services were held strictly in German, and children were required to attend German School five days a week. In 1858, the congregation decided to call a resident pastor. Pastor Josias Ritter arrived to dedicate the newly-finished church building on May 20, 1858.

In 1869 it was decided that a steeple was to be built on the church, and in 1873, the first bell was placed in the steeple.

It was not until Pastor Ernest Lack arrived in 1916, that English would be allowed to be spoken at times in the church. When he first arrived, the people were still speaking the German language in the worship services. However by this time, English was the language being used by most members outside of the church. Pastor Lack realized that if the young people were to be interested in the church, they would have to understand what was being said. On Jan. 1, 1917, Pastor Lack convinced the church to ratify the constitution in order to allow English to be spoken at times in the church. This did not set well with the older people, so the transition to English

St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church was a slow one. In 1920, the church constitution was rewritten in English.

In 1921, the church was faced with a decision whether to build a new structure to accommodate its growing membership. In the general announcements written by Pastor Lack in the June issue of the “Lutheran Bulletin, he states “On Sunday, May 21, quite a few people had to remain outside again for lack of room.” After several years of countless meetings and several heated debates, it was resolved to tear down the old church and that the dismantling of the old church should take place on March 3, 1924. John Schlund was put in charge of the work, but no one was hired to do the work. Anyone could help. The last service in the old church building was held on March 2, 1924, with 133 people receiving communion. The next day, the men began to tear down the 66-year-old building. The brick was salvaged as much as possible to be used in the new building. Over 55,000 bricks were saved with 17,000 of them

cleaned in one day. In April 1924, the Peru Construction Co. was awarded the contract for the building, while George Foster of Streator was the architect. The cornerstone of the new church was laid on June 1, 1924.

In the Aug. 9, 1934, edition of the Bureau County Republican, the headlines read “Church on Hill is well Known Institution. Beautiful Edifice, Prominently Located, is familiar to thousands of people.”

“It is an imposing building erected 10 years ago at a cost of $32,000 and is set against a picturesque background of trees, the cemetery and parsonage nearby, and fields in the distance.”

It further describes the new structure as “with brick exterior, is 42-by-74 feet, with the Gothic mode of architecture used throughout. It has two towers, and besides the main entrance, has two side entrances.

Beautiful art glass windows, comfortable pews with a seating capacity of 450 persons, a high alter with a fine statue of Thorwalden’s Christ as well as

the Lord’s Supper in relief, two seven-branched candelabra, ornate electric fixtures and fine rugs reveal to the worshipper and visitor that resources were not spared in erecting and furnishing the House of God.” The years to follow would offer challenges for the new building. The beautiful stained glass windows would have to be reinforced with steel rods to withstand the harsh weather and heavy winds. The roof on the towers would often leak and would be cause for repair and eventual replacement of the tower roofs.

After viewing the photographs taken over the years, one can see the changes that have taken place on the structure of the towers.

Due to the growing number of children attending church in the early 1960s, a concern to do the best job of Christian education and also to have a building which could be used for various kinds of activities, it was decided to build a parish education unit on to the existing building.

Ground breaking took

place on June 25, 1967.

The building of this addition progressed rapidly, and

by Jan. 14, 1968, the new wing was being used. The new wing included a spacious lounge, pastor’s study and three classrooms with a kitchen and parish hall in the basement. This new Parish Education Wing had a total cost of approximately $104,900.

The last major construction that took place at the Church was in 2001 when a handicapped accessible elevator was installed. The elevator has four stops which will take the passenger from the lounge area in the Parish Ed Wing to the sanctuary, to the church basement and to the basement in the Parish Ed Wing.

Church services are currently held at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church of Princeton every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. with Pastor Kim Lee-Brown officiating. Several descendants of the original founders of the church remain steadfast in their Lutheran beliefs and membership of the Church on the Hill. The church is open to the public for all who wish to enter for worship.

A 165th anniversary celebration will take place on Sunday, Sept. 28, with worship service commencing at 9:30 a.m. followed by a roast beef and chicken buffet. The Rev. Gary Erickson, assistant to the Bishop and director of Evangelical Mission, will be present for the program of historical reflection which will conclude with a historical film footage. Many historic memorabilia and photographs will be on display.

The following quote is published in a Lutheran Parish Bulletin by Pastor Lack of St. John’s Lutheran Church dated March 1920: “To all who mourn and need comfort; to all who are tired and need rest; to all who are friendless and want friendship; to all who are lonely and want companionship; to all who pray and to all who do not, but ought; to all who sin and need a Savior, and to whosoever will; this Church opens wide its doors and in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord.”

The biggest misconception about the respiratory flu, for which the vaccine is received, is that it is the same as the “stomach flu,” Geuther said. Symptoms of the respiratory flu include fever, a cough and/or sore throat, headache and body aches, and chills. Symptoms of the “stomach flu” are nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, she said.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an average of 5-20 percent of Americans catch the flu every year with more than 200,000 being hospitalized and 36,000 dying from flu complications.

eral man was riding in the rear seat of the vehicle operated by Roger Donner with Michael Donner as a front seat passenger. The 20-year-old Mineral man sustained injuries upon exiting the vehicle and died as a result of those injuries on Sept. 22, 2013. Witnesses at the scene stated Michael Donner displayed a police badge. Upon arrest, a badge was received from Michael Donner.

Following further investigation by the sheriff’s department, it was determined that Michael Donner had displayed the badge to the 20-year-old Mineral man within the vehicle after discussing a cannabis transaction. Both Donners were arrested that day for false impersonation of a police officer, with Roger Donner being prosecuted for aiding and abetting his brother.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the 20-year-old Mineral man was identified as Brandon R. Anthony.

Appreciating a little mess Sometimes a little mess in the house looks nice to me.

A couple weeks ago, our nephew, Andy, and his wife, Danyelle, and three young daughters were at our house for the evening. The girls, Abree, 7, Maelah, 5, and Gloria, 3, had been to our house before and knew there was a stockpile of toys somewhere.

But since our grandkids live in other states and their last visits were several months ago, the COMMENTARY toys at our house had long been put away. My house was neat and organized, at least to my standard, with the children’s books and puzzles, card games, crayons and markers all stored in dresser drawers in a spare bedroom.

The larger toys, like the kitchen set and building blocks, were stored downstairs next to the family room.

But on that Saturday night, our little guests needed some toys, and I gladly hauled everything out for my great-nieces. It was such fun having little girls playing in my house again while we adults visited and watched the girls.

But before long, it was time for them to go, and Andy and Danyelle had their daughters clean up the toys before they left.

After waving good-bye to the girls and their parents, I turned back to our now quiet living room.

The puzzles and books were neatly stacked on the coffee table. The downstairs toys were lined up against a wall. Our house looked about back to normal.

But somehow, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness as I walked through our now silent and neat house. Quite a bit of energy and life had left as that young family drove away.

The next morning, I poured my morning coffee and sat down in the living room, ready to do some Bible reading. I glanced across the room and saw a little white teddy bear on its side along the wall by the couch and, a short distance away, Mr. Bump was hiding underneath a corner table. I smiled as I stood to pick up the stray toys, but then, thinking better of it, I decided I liked the toys just where they were, and I sat back down.

I liked that my home has that decorative look that says a child has been here, that a child has made herself at home and played.

Two weeks later, that little white teddy bear remains by the back of the couch and Mr. Bump is still underneath the table. And I’m in no hurry to pick them up and put them back into storage.

Because each time I look at those toys, I remember what they represent to me and the little girls who had played there. And once again, I decide it’s good to have a few toys scattered about in my life.

I suppose there will come a day when I pick up those toys and put them away, but I’m not ready just yet.

Sometimes a little bit of mess looks really nice to me.

TO Letter THE Editor

In response to ‘manic morning’ To the Editor, This letter is in response to BCR Editor Terri Simon’s column, “Just another manic morning,” published Sept. 20, So, Terri, since you asked what I think (BCR 9/20/2014) about “manic morning,” I’d agree to calling it an age-related complaint.

But not so much related to “lots of birthdays” as other co-existing facts. Personally, I’ve never been a “morning person.” Did you know: 1. Some of us in this category are here, in part, because we did not get

born in the a.m. Tracing that factor with our bio-parents can tell us if that may be a factor.

2. In the “for women only” fact pre-menopausal women in their early 40’s can experience subtle but increasing episodes of “morning fog” due to hormone changes.

Often bouts of insomnia occur as well, leading to inadequate quality “Rem” level sleep, which only complicates “fog” states. This is accompanied by spotty self-monitoring of routine and habitual activities.

(Ergo, retracing our steps to “check” whether or not we missed a step in “getting off to work” as you mentioned.)

As we produce less and less sero-

tonin, we begin to think we just need that second jolt of caffeine to alert to the day’s challenges. However, that’s “self-medicating” in the earliest stage!

Here comes the commercial: The last CPASA meeting information package contained information about pure caffeine powder — extremely lethal but on the street now to “help” students hold “allnighters” prepping for exams. I’ll supply more information if you like.

Experiencing “morning fog” at (your) young age gives you a foretaste of what we older folks deal with much more often!

Loretta Volker Princeton

More than just a typical vacation I have a deep love for mountains covered in pine trees, the nothingness of South Dakota, the moon-like Badlands, the big sky of Montana, the weirdness of the West, dormant volcanoes, Saturday Markets, replaying a new CD for three days straight, and my family at the Pacific.

My summer vacation was driving to the Oregon/Washington border. I spent seven days of driving to a different hotel each night, and seven days with a brand of my family I haven’t seen in four years, in a place I haven’t been in 15 years (so it technically doesn’t count).

We spent a couple days at the beach with 10 of us in a gorgeous beach house fit for a queen. The remainder of my immediate family’s nights were spent in an extended stay hotel, with a mall down the street (that I did not have ample time to discover), and my aunt’s house was 10 minutes away. Each night was just spent talking and laughing.

We were also blessed with the company of a very active older New Zealand couple; the feisty wife and quiet husband taught me about their culture, some slang and a few magic tricks. “Eye-Dee-Ten-Tee” they said once. I’ll let you figure out the insult yourself. He would try to tell jokes, but forget how it went, so he would improvise until the punch line. He “hypnotized” my aunt and dad during a card trick but couldn’t budge me, then taught us how to do it. She was a comical woman who sometimes lacked a filter, causing

Maddi Loiselle COMMENTARY the group of us to double over in laughter.

On Saturday, we visited the market that housed vendors selling anything you could imagine, then a quiet birthday for my cousin in the evening (where he taught his 10-month old to blow out the candles).

Sunday was a bonfire at my other cousin’s property, where we enjoyed s’mores and hotdogs on volcanic ash from Mt. St. Helen’s eruption 33 years ago. On Monday, we ventured to Mt. Hood and Timberline. We took trails that led to the summit but stopped to gaze at the snowboarders.

I was relishing the crisp air, when my lovely sister decided to throw a dirty snowball at me. We visited the infamous (but extremely intriguing) Mt. St. Helen on Tuesday.

She erupted on May 18, 1980, literally blowing her top from the blast.

The cheesy salt and pepper shakers at the gift shop illustrate it best.

Ash and vegetation debris flowed down the mountain at speeds almost impossible to escape. Anything previously in the valley was gone.

The sky was gone. Smoke could be seen halfway across the country.

The aftermath was devastating, but since then, scientists took an interesting approach to fixing it. They’ve

reseeded only half the mountain, coaxing it back to normal, but left the other side up to nature. It’s really fascinating to see the stark contrast.

There are still trees facing downward, completely stripped of their bark and branches, while the other side is covered with full, lush pine trees. It’s truly a humbling experience to stand before a mountain 5,000 or more feet above your head.

As my parents and I travel through Iowa, I never thought I’d miss the personal meaning of the Plains more.

Any given day, I’d gladly go back to a higher elevation, but the Plains hold my friends and family, my job and the cutest dog I am exuberant to call my own, and my own room that features my own twin bed. My bathroom doesn’t smell like a cheap cleaner that half-heartedly attempts to cover the bleach scent. I don’t have severely outdated appliances in my kitchen and furniture in my living room.

Those two weeks have provided me with the most fun I’ve had. I never felt homesick enough to ruin even a minute. I’m already missing my West Coast family, longing for the sweetest pair of pit bulls and my favorite New Zealanders, but I know when I walk in my front door, I’ll realize how much I really missed my humble adobe.

PAC will present ‘Uncommon Art’ Berry, Ballard will team up to present exhibit PRINCETON — Two of the area’s most wellknown artists will team up together to present a month-long exhibit of “Uncommon Art” in the gallery of the Prairie Arts Center, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton Oct. 3-25.

The exhibition will begin with an opening wine and hors d’oeuvre reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 3.

Susan Berry, visual arts instructor at Bureau Valley North in Manlius, is best known for her wire sculptures. She challenges herself to create artwork that she calls “uncommon art.” She has a love for creating things out of wire that, when viewed, inspire emotion, wonder and delight. Her pieces include free-standing and wall art in mixed media and three-dimensional sculptures. She has taught kindergarten through eighth grade at Walnut Grade School and then Bureau Valley North for the past 24 years. She feels lucky to share her love

of art with her students and believes art helps them think creatively and come up with solutions to questions or problems they many encounter in everyday life. She believes “We all need to be advocates for the Arts. Art teaches children to think out of the box, be creative builders and beautify the world. Without the Arts the world is black and white, we must all color the world.”

Kathy Ballard has a more conventional outlook toward her art. Her attention is primarily focused on crafting work that is well made and technically correct. She says she looks to nature for inspiration and finds numerous ways to incorporate it in her art. Well known for her pottery, she has recently pushed herself to work “outside the box,” exploring other art media and motifs. While taking more chances with her art, she says it is “both exhilarating and scary at the same time, and quite uncommon” for her to do.

She recently retired after 15 years as art instructor for K-12 grade levels at the DePue Schools. She loves working with children in

In the meantime she is in her studio creating new art for the upcoming October exhibit at the Arts Center.

This exhibit will run Oct. 3-25. The exhibit is open and free for all who wish to visit the exhibit.

BCR game of the Week

The Streak continues Storm take down Tigresses in two

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley student section struck up the “The Streak” chant late in the second set at the Storm Cellar Tuesday as the Storm settled in to close out rival Princeton in Three Rivers Conference East Division play.

And that streak lived on as the Storm defeated their rival Tigresses 25-17, 25-19 to continue their streak to five straight wins with no losses in conference play and five straight wins overall.

“To be undefeated in the conference right now is quite an amazing feeling, but we have a long road ahead of us and I’m looking forward to playing every game,” BV senior Ali Siltman said.

The Storm (11-2, 5-0) played that streak theme out early, taking leads of 9-3 and 15-6. The Storm pushed its lead to 21-11 on a four-point string from Lebahn, including two kills by senior Carlie Bickett, an ace and then a tip by Lindsey Hoffert.

“We talked a lot about making a statement in the beginning of the game, opening up strong rather than allowing teams to play with us. And in the past few nights we’ve done a good job of that,” BV coach Abbi Bosnich said.

The Storm was on the verge of closing out the set at 24-12, but the Tigresses did not go down without a fight. They used a 5-0 run, including three straight Storm errors, to close within 24-17. Hoffert, however, closed out the set with a block on her

It was exactly the kind of play Bosnich was looking for out of the senior Hoffert (4 blocks) in her first match back from an ankle sprain.

“Her block helped us out tremendously. I wasn’t looking for her kills from her. I thought our middles were taking care of that, and they did,” Bosnich said. “She blocked the ball. I know it’s fun for her (because) her cousin is on the other side of the net.”

Princeton played with

the Storm much closer in the set, despite the heavy hitting of 6-1 BV mid Carlie Bickett, tying the game at 13 following a block by Taylor Clark.

The Storm went up 18-13 on a kill by Siltman, 24-18 on a sideout

by Bickett and ace from Val Reuter. A second pass fell untouched on the PHS court to end the match 25-19.

“We came ready to play and I’m so proud of our team. … I know this is kind of an old rivalry, and it’s a

great feeling to come out with a win like that,” Siltman said.

“I have no problem losing to a very, very good, disciplined team such as Bureau Valley as long as we play hard,” PHS coach Andy Puck said. “Last few matches we took a few steps back. Today, I think we definitely held each other accountable, which in turn they are able to hold themselves accountable.”

Illinois basketball loses a legend There’s been some good news mixed with some bad news locally in sports this week.

Chuck Rolinski, the founding father of the former two-class basketball system in Illinois, died Tuesday in Peoria. He was 82.

The longtime Toluca coach was the driving force for the IHSA adopting the two-class system in 1972.

He compiled a 649-262 record in 34 years as a coach, retiring in 1990. He guided the Wildcats to 14 regional titles and three Sweet 16 appearances with undefeated regular season runs in 1959, 1964 and 1984.

He told the Peoria Journal Star in a 1986 article as he was approaching his 600th career victory, his fight for the two-class system was “for all

the other Tolucas,” because his best teams were behind him.

Rolinski was also highly instrumental in operating the Illinois Basketball Coach Association until his death.

Whenever I talked with Chuck, his passion for basketball always came out. He will be missed in the state basketball circles.

• Another sad note is the death of former Bureau Valley Storm football

player Brett Christiansen, 22, of Walnut. Members of the Storm football team missed Tuesday’s home volleyball match to attend his visitation.

My deepest condolences to his family.

• On the positive side of things, I want to say congratulations to my old pal, Greg Halbleib, for landing his new gig as play-by-play man for the Peoria Rivermen hockey team.

The former WZOE broadcaster has called professional hockey for six seasons along with a variety of other sports in Bloomington-Normal since leaving Princeton in 2002.

The Princeton Tigers have come a long way this year, winning two of its first four football games — a feat they have not accomplished for five years.

Coach Jesse Snyder now wants to see how they handle some adversity and bounce back after a tough 33-14 loss at St. Bede in a game they played even for nearly three quarters. They’ll get that chance Friday when they host long-time rival Kewanee for the BCR Game of the Week.

“It’s something we talked about a lot. We’ve got to overcome the little things in games that set us back. It’s all about understanding ... when something does happen, we have to win the next down. We’ve talked a lot about that, and that’s what we’ve been working on,” Snyder said.

Princeton (2-2, 1-1 TRAC South) and Kewanee (0-4, 0-2) will

be meeting for the 116th time when they take the gridiron at Bryant Field.

Holding a 56-55-4 series edge, the Tigers seek to bring the traveling trophy back home that goes to the victors each year. The Boilers claimed it a year ago.

Just like everybody, Snyder said the Tigers have to continue to get better “at the things that we do. That’s the long and short of it. We have to continue to work on the little things we have to do to be successful.”

The Tigers have certainly done a lot of things well in early going, with convincing wins over Morrison and Sherrard and another good effort against St. Bede last week.

Junior quarterback Jake Reinhardt has thrown for seven touchdowns, and running back Jacob Smith has rushed for more than 700 yards. Junior newcomer Kai Tomaszewski, who came over from soccer this fall, will be a secret

Tigers bounce back against IVC

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

It was just what the doctor ordered for the Princeton Tiger soccer team.

The Tigers scored early and often, putting behind them a bad loss Monday to Stillman Valley, with a 3-1 victory over IVC Tuesday in Tiskilwa.

The Tigers did all their damage in the first half, kicking off with a penalty kick by Drew Pranka.

They made it 3-0 at halftime on goals by Brenton Schmidt, assisted by Tanner Kuhne, and Tristan Franklin.

“Scoring early was a boost to our confidence that really carried through the match,” PHS coach David Gray said.

“We have to find a way to keep our focus regardless of who scores first. If we want to win against the teams we play, we have to be able to stay focused and come back if we give up an early goal.”

IVC did not score until the 76th minute. PHS outshot the Ghosts 12-6.

PHS won the F/S game 5-3 with Joshua Reinhardt scoring two goals, Nolan Frank and Nolan Hunt one goal each, and Brett Schenck adding one goal and three assists.

Stillman Valley 6, Princeton 0: The Cardinals ruled with three goals in each half Monday at Stillman Valley. The hosts outshot the Tigers 12-8.

Storm From Page 11 The Storm proved to have too much firepower with Siltman and Bickett swinging away in the middle, each finishing with seven kills. Setter Lebahn did her part with 14 assists and nine points.

“We wouldn’t be able to do the thing we do without a team,” Siltman said. “I have great hits because my setter has great sets and my setter has great sets because my passers gives her great passes. It’s just an amazing feeling.”

“There was a few times I looked up and just couldn’t believe they were hitting that well. Carlie hasn’t had a night like that this season, so that was great for her,” Bosnich said.

“They come at you in three different areas,” Puck said. “If you don’t serve tough, if you don’t shut down an option, you have three hitters coming at you and if you can’t put a ball away. ... They’re as good as Sydney Lebahn. She’s as good a setter around and is the engine of that team.”

Schultz had a match high eight kills for PHS (7-12, 3-3).

The Storm will head to Newman Thursday to try to continue their streak as they complete their first run through conference.

Sybil McGunnigal, supporter Longtime scorekeeper Sybil McGunnigal has always been all about giving back to the school which meant so much to her family and children Tom, David and Erin. She first started out keeping score for the volleyball team from 1990-95, even though she had never done it before.

She took over as the boys’ basketball scorekeeper and would add the girls’ basketball duties, sometimes sitting court side six nights a week.

While she gave up the boys’ basketball book, she was asked to video tape SBA football games in 1998, a task she did for about 10 years.

McGunnigal still keeps score for girls’ basketball, and she will continue with that. It is joked at the Academy part of her job is keeping her son, Tom, the Lady Bruins’ coach, in line.

“I have to say I have loved every minute of it all ... watching my children and your children, on and off the playing fields of the Academy; the spirit of St. Bede is going strong, and I am blessed to be a part of it,” she said.

Karisa (Dinges) King Karisa A. (Dinges) King, a 2001 graduate of St. Bede Academy, was a very successful three-sport athlete for the Bruins.

On the volleyball court, King was named co-captain of the varsity team during her senior year and to the Bureau County Republican All–Area Honorable Mention team.

The Lady Bruins track MVP and state qualifier still holds school records in the 100M (12.5) and the 200M (25.6).

The basketball court was where King truly excelled. Among her many awards are being a two-time Bureau County Republican First Team selection, named as BCR Player of the Year as a senior. She was also named as the Tri-County Conference Tournament MVP. She played basketball at IVCC and Newberry College.

She currently works as a registered nurse at Unity Point Methodist and St. Margaret’s Hospital in the ICU. In February, she and her husband, Brandon, are expecting their first child.

Karl Thomas “Tom” Langham Karl Thomas “Tom” Langham was a graduate of the Class of 1964 from the Academy. In Langham’s four years at St. Bede he was a member of the basketball, football, baseball and track teams. Langham spent three years in the football program where in his senior year, he was one of the leading receivers for the passing attack.

His athletic prowess was best displayed on the basketball court as a four-year member of the varsity team. Team success came during

Langham’s junior year when the basketball team finished the season at 18-8, but included the school’s first regional title in 19 years as the Bruins defeated LaSalle-Peru 58-46.

Langham was a regular starter for the team and was characterized in the “Via Baeda” as having a “swift, point-producing jump shot.”

During his senior year in basketball the Bruins produced the same 18-8 record for the season, but this time they dropped the regional title to LaSalle-Peru. Langham was the leading scorer on the varsity team with 360 points throughout the season.

Langham attended Quincy College and Illinois State University before serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador. He taught at Immaculate Conception Grade School in Spring Valley before working in sales for the American Nickleoid Co. Langham, who passed away in 2001, married Janet Mazzorana and they had five children: Robert (Class of 1986), Julie (Class of 1988), John, Karen, and Mary.

Alex Hueneburg Alex Hueneburg’s time at St. Bede came full circle when he later returned as coach. He came to the United States on a boat from Germany and had never touched a football, basketball or baseball before the age of 11. Fortunately for St. Bede, he took to all of them quite naturally. He played four years of football, basketball and track at St. Bede Academy and had some great success in all three sports, nominated for the coveted Athlete of the Year Award.

He was a member of the 1962-63 basketball team that won the regional championship against LaSallePeru but then lost in the next round to Braidwood 42-40.

Hueneburg found individual success on the track as well. He was the Illinois Valley Conference long jump champion his sophomore year and made the Diocesan Track Honor Roll both his junior and senior years.

It was in football that Hueneburg took his game to the next level, collegiately anyway. In his junior year he was named honorable mention all-state at fullback when Illinois had just a one-class system. He went on to play football at Illinois State University where he had to quit during his sophomore year for medical reasons. He graduated from ISU in 1968 and began his teaching and coaching career back at St. Bede.

He returned to the Academy after serving as an interpreter in the Vietnam War, coaching at the lower levels through 1979 while taking graduate courses. He went into selling life insurance full time to form the Hueneburg Financial Group and is still a senior partner.

Alex resides in LaSalle with his wife of 47 years, Linda. They have three children: Kimberly, Erika and Alec.

Welcome to autumn!

This happy scarecrow at the Rick and Jody Jaquet property in rural LaMoille shows his joy at the start of his favorite time of the year, autumn, which officially began at 9:29 p.m.

Monday. Pumpkin patches, apple cider donuts, football games and farmers harvesting their crops will again mark the fall season in the Illinois Valley area. But for many area residents, the fall season would not be complete without leisurely drives through the countryside and villages to view the brilliant reds and oranges of the turning autumn leaves. With the cooler temperatures experienced recently throughout the area, the peak of the fall leaf season could arrive a bit earlier this year. The Old Farmers Almanac is projecting the peak time for those fall colors in the Illinois Valley area will be Oct. 5-21 .

Adler Theater hosts Festival of Praise Tour DAVENPORT — The Festival of Praise Tour 2014, featuring multiple Grammy, Stellar and Dove Award-winning recording artists Fred Hammond and Donnie McClurkin, is coming to the Adler Theatre at 7 p.m. Sept. 29.

“The Festival of Praise Tour was designed as a platform to uplift, motivate and encourage people,” said tour co-creator Ray Hammond, founder and CEO of Face To Face, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. “With all the negative things going on in the world today, we wanted to create an environment to positively impact as many lives as possible. Inspirational music has a unique way of doing that, especially when it’s presented by Fred and Donnie.”

The duo will perform a series of duets as well as some of their classic hits.

“The audience for the Festival of Praise tour will include fans of every musical genre and people from every generation,” says Fred Hammond. “The tour will be anointed, big and festive, and will include something for everyone.”

This is Fred Hammond’s first tour since his knee

surgery earlier this year and the successful 2013 United Tenors Tour. With a new tour and single, “I Will Trust,” he is looking forward to embracing and reconnecting with his fans.

“The Festival of Praise 2014 Tour is going to be an awesome, anointed, praise and worship experience,” said Fred Hammond.

One of the most celebrated artists in gospel music, McClurkin is the senior pastor of Perfecting Faith Church in Freeport, N.Y., host of a nationally syndicated radio show and a judge on “Sunday Best,” the highly-rated gospel talent competition show on the BET Network. He is currently promoting his latest CD project, “Duets.”

“I can’t begin to express how excited I am to be teaming up with my longtime friend and brother, Fred Hammond, for the Festival of Praise Tour,” said McClurkin.

Tickets cost $55, $40 and $30 and are on sale now at the Adler Theatre Box Office, 136 E. Third St., Davenport, Iowa, at Ticketmaster.com, by phone at 800-745-3000 and Ticketmaster outlets.

PRINCETON — Monday, Sept. 29, Widmark Western Week Movie will begin at 6:30 p.m. and feature a man adopted by the Comanche, accused by the white man, who is on the road to his murder trial. But when a band of savage Apaches attack his wagon train, leaving only a few teen-aged survivors, he must choose between the freedom that fortune has handed him and delivering the youths safely home. With a death sentence hanging over his head, will he risk losing his own life in order to save theirs?

Tuesday, Sept. 30, Widmark Western Week Movie will begin at 6:30 p.m. and feature a town sheriff marshal, who has one thing more to do before he can settle down with his bride-tobe … He needs to spring former comrade-in-arms

from jail. Although the marshal now considers the score settled, his ex-partner wants the loot from the gang’s final heist, which the marshal had buried in the desert when he quit the gang. To make sure the marshal doesn’t lead everyone on a wild goose chase, the partner brings the bride-to-be along as leverage.

Wednesday, Oct. 1, Widmark Western Week Movie will begin at 6:30 p.m. and feature a western town that is plagued by a gang of thugs, leading residents to hire a famous vigilante to act as marshal. When he arrives, he is accompanied by a gambler who is unusually protective of his friend’s life and reputation. They tidy things up in town, but their brutal methods call the whole concept of law and order into question.

Eventually one of the thugs, now reformed, is elected sheriff, and a showdown seems inevitable, especially after a beautiful woman arrives in town accusing the vigilante of murdering her fiancé.
