The tale of the two towers

Bureau Valley School Board discusses architect’s report

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Two separate tours of Bureau Valley South in Buda have exposed a host of problems with the building, primarily with the school’s east and west towers. The Bureau Valley School Board briefly discussed a report, generated by those two tours, at its regular school board meeting Tuesday, Sept.

27. Another meeting has

been set in October for more in-depth discussions on the issues.

Bureau Valley School Board member Bill Gebeck said two tours were taken of the facility — one with the district’s architect, Larson & Darby Group of Rockford, on Sept. 13, and another by an independent architect, not employed by the district. Besides the architects, engineers and school officials, others who attended the tours included Buda Mayor/Fire

Special meeting MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley School Board will convene in a special meeting set for 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, at the district office in Manlius. The purpose of the meeting is for discussion and possible action regarding the short- and long-term plan to house district students.

Chief Jeff Bitting, Buda Village Board member Brian Kaiser and others.

“The whole reason for the two tours was to be very honest and transparent to the residents of

Buda and the taxpayers, in general,” Gebeck said.

Just before school was ready to start in late August, it was noticed the foundation was not stable in the school’s east

tower. That portion of the building was closed, and students who were set to attend classes in the east tower were relocated; third- through sixthgrade students are now in the west tower at Buda, and the seventh- and eighth-grade students are at the high school in Manlius.

After the tour, the Larson & Darby Group prepared a three-page report on its specific findings, offering cost projections

for a variety of scenarios/ options.

“It is ... my understanding that in the big picture, everyone was in agreement that the two old towers have long outlived their usefulness, and both should be taken down in the near future, due to age, structural issues, accessibility issues and operational/maintenance costs,” Larson & Darby Group wrote in their findings.

PRINCETON — Last week’s unsubstantiated threats of violence involving Logan Junior High School has prompted the Princeton Elementary School District to take steps to streamline communication with parents, staff and the community.

Comments about bringing a gun to school supposedly made by students on a bus on Sept. 19, and threats of violence said to have been made in social media, brought an increased police presence the next day, when roughly 150 of Logan’s 500 students were kept home.

Interviews and investigations turned up no legitimate threat.

What officials learned, though, is that although the district’s text messaging alert system worked well, there is room for improvement, Superintendent Tim Smith said at Monday’s school board meeting.

Before the board adopted the tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2017, Smith said $10,000 will be used to “streamline our communications and help increase safety.”

Spring Valley gets $99,000 grant Funds used to improve industrial park road

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The city of Spring Valley recently received a $99,000 Rural Business Development Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help with the costs to reconstruct the road serving Wolfer Industrial Park.

“The road is in poor condition, and there are several locations that have potholed and have exposed aggregate,” Spring Valley’s Economic Development Director Debb Ladgenski wrote in the grant application. “The distress shows some cracking and raveling. This has been an ongoing problem that has continued to deteriorate despite the city’s attempts

at patching and filling, due to the high level of employee and truck use. The proposed option of repair work will provide an adequate roadway for the expected volume of truck traffic with a 20-year design life.”

The funds will be used to improve the park’s road, which is the only way traffic can go in and out of the city’s small business industrial park. The total cost of the project is estimated at $234,000, which will be covered with the a combination of motor fuel tax funds, Tax Increment Financing and Community Development Assistance Program Revolving Fund Loan Funds, along whit the $99,000 grant.

The Industrial Park is currently home to one available building and site; eight small and emerging private businesses; five larger businesses; and one governmental entity employing more than 250 total people.

Ladgenski added in her

grant application the initial impact of the road reconstruction project will be the retention of the existing businesses and their employees.

In addition, the improvements made will increase response time for the ambulance service located in the park and reduce maintenance costs for all of the business vehicles that use the road on a regular basis.

“It (new road) will improve the marketability of the recently vacated building, thus drawing new employees to the area,” she wrote.”The ability of the new road to handle additional traffic will be a catalyst for business expansion and employee growth. the new road will also tie in with a proposed future development on property adjacent to the west end of the park designed to generate additional jobs.”

Small, but solid

Wyanet Community Bible to celebrate 150th anniversary

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

WYANET — Since 1866, the Wyanet Community Bible Church has been a fixture of the small community. The parish began with a list of 25 names, and while that amount has fluctuated throughout its 150 years, the current parish has returned to approximately the same size.

During their anniversary celebrations taking place on Sunday, Oct. 9, the church is hoping to draw new members through the doors as well

as those who haven’t visited in a while.

“There are many of us who grew up here but now live in surrounding communities,” church member Ruth Draper said, adding they all have fond childhood memories of their families and the time they spent at the church, feeling most comfortable there.

Generations of local families and items of the past are memorialized in the display case just inside the church doors, and many names grace the colorful stained glass

windows.

Beginning at 9 a.m. there will be a social time for parishioners and guests, and the worship service will begin at 9:30 a.m.. The guest speaker for the day will be Pastor Michael Fox, and a special musical performance will be given by Regina Rhymes Doss and the Free at Last band. Following services there, will be a catered meal provided in the fellowship hall.

The church is located at 215 S. Locust St. in Wyanet. For more information call 815-303-8013.

More treasures get their turn in the spotlight

Spaghetti for Freedom House

Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum presents ‘Rare and Rarely Seen’ items from its vast collection SPRINGFIELD – A new exhibit at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will celebrate the depth of the library’s collection by highlighting items that rarely get a turn in the spotlight — from a document signed by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to a pair of shoes from a Nazi concentration camp.

“Rare and Rarely Seen” opened to the public Sept. 28 and will run until Jan. 29, 2017.

“What makes this exhibit so special is that it shows the depth of our collection through documents and artifacts that, in most cases, have never been on display before,” said Alan Lowe, executive director of the presidential library and museum. “We’re excited to share these rare items with our visitors.”

Among the items on display in “Rare and Rarely Seen” are: • Wooden shoes worn by a prisoner at the Dachau concentration camp.

• A commission naming a federal marshal, signed by President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.

• A Howitzer shell representing Illinois that was fired during President John F. Kennedy’s funeral.

• A dress worn by Marilyn Monroe.

• A letter from Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant expressing concern that he

“The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum commemorates Lincoln, of course, but it is also the home of the Illinois State Historical Library.

Millions of fascinating documents and artifacts that cover the gamut of Illinois history have made their way into the collection over the past 125 years, and we are so excited to share a few of them with the world in this exhibit,” said Dr. Samuel Wheeler, the state historian.

The exhibit also includes two interactive features. One was inspired by the section on politics and will let visitors vote on their favorite item in the exhibit.

Another asks visitors to write about rare, precious items from their own lives; their answers will be posted for everyone to see.

“Rare and Rarely Seen” will be presented in the museum’s Illinois Gallery.

The exhibit is free with regular admission to the museum.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a series of special events over the next four months.

Kid-friendly events are planned for Oct. 3 and Oct. 10. The historians and curators who produced the exhibit will offer a behind-the-scenes look at it on Nov. 17.

that portion of the building also produced other concerns, including: • Almost all the equipment is original in the 100-year-old-plus building like the boiler, pumps, panel boards, old galvanized piping, duct work, lights, wiring, etc. Other than a few pieces, the firm believes most everything is beyond its useful life.

• Electrical infrastructure is under-powered to meet today’s demands in

the educational setting.

• The original galvanized piping is likely to be at less than 25 to 30 percent of original capacity due to years of build-up in the pipes. Many are also leaking.

• The boiler is nearing the end of its operational life and problems with getting it certified are on the horizon.

• Many accessibility and clearance issues are also in the facility, as well as roof leaks, and energy ineffi-

The Larson and Darby Group put together a rough estimate to identify potential costs in bringing the existing single-story portion of the building up to code and fully operational. The total of that estimate ranges from $4,437,400 to $5,471,015.

That would not include the dollars needed to build new classrooms around the single-story area, as well as costs

associated with asbestos abatement and demolition of the two towers. If the single-story portion of the building was to be also demolished and rebuilt, those 39,000 square feet could cost upwards of $8 million.

“Numbers don’t lie,” said BV Board member Don King.

“We learned a lot,” Gebeck said. “The numbers are there; it depends on what a person wants to do. ... The figures are there.”

The complete report from Larson & Darby is on the district’s website — www.bv340.org. Go to the “District” tab and scroll down to “Board of Education” and then to the “Board Agenda and Minutes.” At the bottom of the page is an entry for “September 27, 2016 Regular Meeting Agenda and Public Packet.” The correspondence from the firm is in that file.

Carls is concerned the rectangular structure will resemble a pole barn diminishing the property values in the neighborhood.

“I don’t know where he is getting the idea of a pole barn, but to me a pole barn would look better than what is there,” Richardson responded.

Alderman Dave Pellegrini also expressed concern over the proposed permit.

requirement for a retention pond for drainage issues and the proposed parking area.

Mayor Walt Marini further explained traffic would enter the parking lot from Cornelius Street and exit onto Dakota Street (Route 6).

It was also stressed to the council they would be voting to approve the special use permit only, and Richardson would still be required to apply for building and parking permits which would need to be in compliance with all codes.

The first motion to approve the special use permit was made by Alderman Charles Hansen, but the motion died for lack of a second. Then Alderman Kenneth Bogacz made the motion to deny the permit which was seconded

by Alderman Frederick West. The motion passed 6-1 with Hansen being the lone no vote.

Also at the meeting, Marini told the board John French is interested in purchasing a building at the corner of Spaulding and Dakota streets. He wants to add another lighted sign to the side of the building.

French explained to Marini he recently purchased a computer chip for his signs that will allow the brightness of the signs to be adjusted.

Marini requested proof the signs meet the requirements put forth by the city, French agreed to a sign demonstration on Tuesday night.

Perry Memorial Hospital offers new Senior Behavioral Wellness Service SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Seniors may be faced with challenges during their golden years. Learning to cope with the challenges of aging, including changes in one’s role in life, physical limitations, and the loss of a loved one can lead to depression, anxiety, overwhelming emotions and beliefs that he or she is the only one dealing with these feelings. Retirement, reduced income and status, medical issues and family conflict can also contribute to these symptoms. Some seniors become isolated, withdrawing from family and friends.

Fortunately, there are services available to seniors looking for a safe, supportive environment to cope with stress in their lives. Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton now offers outpatient counseling services and emotional support for seniors in the community through Perry’s Senior Behavioral Wellness service.

Giving seniors an outlet to discuss life events, lack of control over what happens and related feelings is the main purpose of this new service. Medicare and most secondary commercial

insurance health plans cover the cost of the program which includes transportation, therapeutic small-group discussions, and the opportunity to eat a meal with others. Individual and family counseling sessions are both available. Seniors can also receive assistance establishing a schedule and a routine that enables them to have a healthy and productive life at home.

The Senior Behavioral Wellness Program staff consists of a Medical Director, Program Director, Licensed Therapist, Nurse, and a Tech Assistant/ Van Driver. Dr. Scott Arbaugh, Medical Director, specializes in Psychiatry, and will provide psychiatric evaluations and follow-up appointments.

When a referral is made, an assessment is the first step to begin participating in this service. Often a staff member can visit the senior in their home to complete the assessment for his or her convenience. Physician referrals are not required; anyone can call and ask for an assessment. For more information, or to schedule an assessment, please contact:

Safety From Page 1 About $6,500 will pay for a two-way radio system for outside personnel such as teachers on the grounds and bus drivers. The rest will be used to help develop a mass notification system that will forward messages from the district to texts, emails, websites, voicemails and social media, he said.

The board will receive recommendations on mass communication systems such as EduLink and Blackboard at the Oct. 24 meeting.

The board then approved FY 2017 budget, which projects revenues of $8,696,990 and expenses of $8,691,492.

That leaves an overage of $5,498, which, when added to the $127,125 left in the budget on June 30, will leave a surplus of about $132,623 at the end of FY ‘17.

The state still owes the district $236,924 from FY ‘16, $143,229 for the education fund and $93,695 for the transportation fund, Smith said.

Also Monday, district auditor Joel Hopkins reported the district’s transition from an accrual-based accounting system, which match

expenses with related revenues that then are reported when the expenses occur, to a cash-basis accounting system, which records revenues when cash is received and records expenses when they are paid.

The state board of education prefers cash-basis accounting systems, Hopkins said.

In other action, the board: • Agreed to pay Kmetz and Legat Architects $58,000 for preliminary design proposals for a new pre-K-8 facility, to be presented to the board by its Dec. 19 meeting.

• Announced the resignations of Brianne Blumhorst, assistant track coach; Zach Smith, head track coach; and Paula Bader, cafeteria employee/ custodian.

• Hired Zach Clark, physical education teacher; Zach Smith, seventh-grade boys basketball coach; John Matlick, assistant track coach, Anne Johnson, Student Council sponsor for fifth and sixth grades; Joseph Stefko, part-time custodian; and Lindsay Ponsetti, paraprofessional aide.

• Approved maternity leave for Erica Lenihan and Olivia Johnston.

Bureau County Health Department’s guide to Disease Prevention SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak The goal of the Bureau County Health Department is to protect the health and welfare of its residents through the identification of potential communicable disease issues and to control the spread of infectious disease within the county.

The health department works several ways to prevent disease in the community.

The Communicable Disease Program provides investigation and follow-up on reportable communicable diseases.

Infectious diseases continue to pose a significant threat to public health and mortality. The communicable disease program provides investigation and follow-up of reportable communicable diseases. The department also partners with environmental health staff when needed to investigate outbreaks, such as foodborne or waterborne illnesses.

For a list of diseases that must be reported to the Bureau and Putnam County Health Department by medical and/or laboratory providers, go to https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/ conditions/notifiable/2016/

The health department’s Immunization Program offers a wide-array of both adult and child vaccinations. Not only can the department bill most insurance companies, it also offers the federal Vaccines for Children (VFC) program for uninsured or underinsured children.

There is no cost for these vaccines, and only a small administrative fee per visit, which is billable to Medicaid.

The Health Department’s public health nurses also draw blood to check lead levels in children and can tell you what vaccinations are recommended for travel abroad.

Immunizations are available weekly at the health department’s three locations. Call ahead for an appointment and bring immunization records. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. There is a cost for each immunization. Medicaid is accepted, but services will NOT be denied for inability to pay.

Very low cost laboratory services for most blood tests are offered every week. An order from your medical provider is required and results are usually available within a few days.

Call ahead for an appointment.

A teachable moment Their reputations spread as fast as the lips of the children they teach can move — the “good” ones are lauded; the “bad” ones are vilified. Before they’ve actually stepped foot in their classrooms on the first day of school each year, every child in there has some preShannon conceived notion Serpette about their new teacher’s teaching COMMENTARY method, friendliness and the amount of homework they will be assigning.

Little ears can hear a lot when they want to, when they are interested. Until the past year or two, I had no idea my children paid so much attention to what was happening in the grade above them. But as it turns out, they are always looking ahead, anticipating how to academically thrive during their middle school years.

Parents are usually no different. They listen eagerly to what they’ve heard about each teacher their child is going to have for the upcoming school year. Are they strict? If they hear they are, does that mean they are going to be too strict? Are they going to suck the fun right of their child’s school year? If they hear they aren’t strict, there are still questions. Does that mean the class will be out of control and their child won’t learn anything?

I’ve heard the chatter. I’ve been concerned — highly concerned at times — over the prospect of who will be teaching my children and whether they’ll be able to effectively handle a classroom with some challenging personalities in it. I’ve had teachers, both in grade school and high school, who didn’t have the best classroom management skills, and it made for a stressful year.

When I’m feeling anxious about a teacher’s capabilities, which has only happened once or twice during the seven years they’ve been in school, I try to take my own advice. When my children are worried at the beginning of a school year about a teacher they’ve heard is particularly tough, I tell them this: Teachers don’t enter the field of education just to ruin children’s lives.

I tell them teachers usually teach because they enjoy children, the subject they are teaching and the process of learning. I remind them they’ve never had any problems with their prior teachers, and if they work hard and listen, they shouldn’t have any problems with their new teachers. And, if a problem does occur, it’s good to take a deep breath, and communicate calmly and respectfully with that teacher. In most cases, when teachers see a child and a parent are genuinely looking for a solution to a miscommunication or a problem, they are more than willing to meet them halfway.

Unless a teacher specifies they prefer using email for any questions parents have, I try, whenever possible, to stop in to ask my questions, solely because of the impersonal nature of emails. What you might think sounds like a concise, right-to-the-point email about a missing homework assignment can sound hostile or accusatory to someone else.

I come from a long line of teachers, and although I chose not to enter that field, I have great respect for the dedication and patience teachers have. I know some people who have left the field entirely, primarily because of the attitudes from parents and their children. It’s a real problem.

Teachers don’t automatically receive respect from both students and parents that they did when I was younger. I had no clue about what a teacher expected before I stepped foot in a classroom — I just knew my parents expected me to behave and try my hardest.

School really is a dress rehearsal for adult life. Learning responsibility, respect and discipline gives students a great head start for their grown-up years.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Forget about red and blue ...’

To the Editor, If you’re reading this, you likely have made up your mind. Ninety percent of us have done just that.

Forty-five on this side and forty-five on that side. There are about 10 percent of voters who can be swayed. And it’s you I care about.

This election is about more than blue or red. It’s about the future of the country; it’s about the future of disciplined debate and of facts versus fiction; it’s about realizing solutions to difficult problems are themselves difficult. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying.

You see, we can vote for a candidate who, as the New York Times put it, “discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway.” Or we can vote for one who has actual plans addressing actual problems.

In the abstract, the choice is easy.

Do you vote for the person who grew up with a silver spoon while pawning off as a qualification his self-made status, discriminated

against blacks, bankrupted six of his companies, traded on peoples’ hopes and dreams, lauded a Russian dictator while demeaning a fallen soldier’s parents, evaded paying his taxes, and in the utmost demonstration of his maturity, once said, “He would have absolutely allowed me to have done it,” when asked how his father would feel about his run for president?

Or do you vote for the person who made something of herself, championed due process, helped disadvantaged youth get an education, fought for health care for millions of kids, became a Senator and then a Secretary of State, brokered sanctions so tough that Iran crawled back to the negotiation table, and whose accomplishments are so many that attempts to diminish them highlight their pervasiveness?

Forget about red and blue: for whom would you vote? Let’s face it, if you’re about to have heart surgery, you give the knife to the doctor not the salesman. Most of us wouldn’t let a blustering salesman

asphalt our driveways yet a near majority is ready to vote this snake oil salesman into office.

That sounds harsh, and it’s meant to be. I think too much of you to coddle a misplaced hope that his promises will be realized. This is, after all, a man who makes false statements seven out of ten times he opens his mouth: Blacks are worse off than ever, President Obama started ISIS, the unemployment rate is 42 percent. False, false, false.

Look, we face real problems. We don’t have time for Trump to make up fake ones — playing on our worst angels — only to offer incredible solutions. These are serious times for serious people and he is not one of them.

So please, you, over there, you 10 percent, think about the next four years and who you want in the White House — the amateur or the professional. And, my god, don’t vote for a third party.

Matthew Schafer New York, N.Y. (formerly of Princeton)

Torn on the subject too To the Editor, I just finished reading a phenomenal piece of journalism by Bureau County Republican Editor Terri Simon. She was explaining how she was “torn” between the professional football player’s First Amendment right to not stand when the national anthem was played vs. her patriotic values. It was well written, made a lot of sense and really hit home.

As someone who believes in the

Constitution of the United States, people have many rights that are often offensive to me. But they have a right to express themselves just like I am doing now. That doesn’t mean I agree with them; it just means I support their rights.

As a former U.S. Marine, I get a little choked up too when I see a flag, just like Ms. Simon said. I saw men die on the battlefield, beg God for their lives and ask me to help watch over their families as they

took their last breath. Not stand for our national anthem? How dare he?

But he has his rights, just like I have mine.

It’s good to see a journalist torn on an issue such as this one. It delivers hope in the American media. Thank you, Ms. Simon. I’m sure you made a lot of people think twice about their opinions, which is what a columnist is supposed to do.

Hip fractures, and tips on how to avoid them A hip fracture is a break in the upper quarter of the femur (thigh) bone. The most common causes of hip fractures are falls or a direct blow to the side of the hip. Some medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer or stress injuries can weaken the bone and make the hip more susceptible to breaking.

In severe cases, it is possible for the hip to break with the patient merely standing on the leg and twisting.

Women are especially vulnerable to hip fractures, however, men can have them, too.

According to 2010 data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey, approximately 70 percent of hip fractures occur in women. Most hip fractures require surgery, hospitalization and extended rehabilitation. Hip fractures can limit mobility and

independence, and people who lived independently before a hip fracture often require assistance afterward. This can range from help from family members and home health professionals, to admittance to a nursing home or other long-term health facility.

According to the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, there are things you can do to maintain and even improve your bone strength, which will help decrease your risk of a broken hip: • Understand your individual risk for fracture. This is based on any risk factors you have for fracture and your bone density.

Ask your doctor if you need a bone density test.

• Understand your individual risk for bone loss. Genetics plays a role in bone health, and

Dr. Frank Minardi COMMENTARY some people have genetically determined high rates of bone turnover after menopause or with aging.

• Be active every day.

Strength-building and weight-bearing activities help build strong bones. Children should exercise at least an hour each day, and adults should total 30 minutes of daily activity.

• Maintain a healthy weight.

Older adults who are overweight have a higher risk for falling.

Being underweight raises the risk of bone loss.

• Get enough calcium and Vitamin D. • Do not smoke. Smoking can reduce bone mass and increase your risk for a broken bone.

• Limit alcohol use. Heavy alcohol use reduces bone mass and increases your risk for broken bones.

• Reduce your risk of falling.

There are many changes you can make in your home to help prevent a fall. Remove obstacles such as throw rugs, and add safety features such as grab bars and non-slip mats.

• Consider bone-boosting medications. In addition to calcium and Vitamin D supplements, there are many drug options that slow bone loss and increase bone strength.

Youth Service Bureau gets outstanding review OTTAWA — The Youth Service Bureau (YSB) of Illinois Valley has just been notified of its re-accreditation by the national organization, the Council On Accreditation (COA).

The COA notified Frank Vonch, the executive director of YSB, of the awarding of its re-accredita-

tion on Sept. 9. Vonch was further advised by the COA the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley did not receive any “out of compliance ratings” in any of the fundamental practice standards the COA reviews.

The COA recognized the agency for not receiving any “non-compliance” practice standards as an

“amazing achievement.” Being accredited and re-accredited is a very involved, time-consuming and sometimes difficult process.

Not every agency that applies for accreditation receives it. It is also rare that an agency seeking accreditation does not receive any out of compliance ratings.

KEWANEE — Bureau Valley’s Haley Weidner earned the title of conference champion for her running accolades, while she also led her Storm team to a second-place overall finish in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference cross country meet Tuesday at Baker Park in Kewanee.

“I ran OK, but the wind was awful today,” Weidner said.

“I ran here twice last week and I think that really helped me and gave me an advantage over some of the other runners who hadn’t ran here last week.”

Weidner finished second in her quest for a conference championship last year, but wouldn’t be denied again as she paced the field with a time of 19:58.15 for 3.0 miles, 15 seconds better than second place Teagan McKenna (20:13.88). McKenna’s Newman Comets were named the girls’ team champions as they recorded 43 total points on the evening.

McKenna trailed Weidner for most of the race, but at about the mile and 1/2 mark, McKenna made her move on a straight away and passed

PRINCETON — Princeton handed Sterling Newman a rare shutout last year, leaving longtime Comets followers trying to remember the last time it even happened. The game not only propelled the Tigers to the TRAC Mississippi championship, but served notice to the Tigers they can play with the big boys like Newman.

It is also likely a defeat that will not be lost on the Comets when they streak into Bryant Field in Princeton Friday night for this week’s BCR Game of the Week.

“We haven’t really talked about it much, but we did on prep day Monday,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said. “We told them, They beat us last year. They deserved to win. They got the big plays on us. We made mistakes and they capitalized on them.

“We’d like to make amends for that and see if we can take care of the Tigers at their place.”

The Tigers will not be looking back, PHS senior Colton Youngren said, rather maintaining focus on the matter at hand.

“I’m sure that Newman will be ready to play this week, but we haven’t thought about last year’s win over them very much,” Youngren said.

“We are focused on the task at hand, and it’s a new week and we are ready to come out and take care of business, especially on

Mike Papoccia, Newman coach Senior Night.”

While graduation took a heavy toll on Princeton’s record-setting team from a year ago, it does not take away the expectations coach Jesse Snyder has for his team every week they take the field.

“We believe if we play with great effort, discipline and physicality, we can compete with anyone.

We have to continue striving for that each day of practice,” Snyder said.

Snyder acknowledged the Comets, with five state championships and three runner-up finishes, will be a tall task for the Tigers (3-2).

“Newman is a very disciplined football team.

Defensively, our goal will be to stop the run and play disciplined, physical football. Offensively we have to play disciplined mistake-free football. It will be our goal to finish our drives with relentless effort every play,” Snyder said.

Seeing is believing for 5-year-old T-baller Like any little boy, Colby Pollok likes his baseball. He is probably not going to make the major leagues. He may never play college or high school, but he’s already made a big hit in life.

Colby, 5, of Dover was born with a vision disorder called strabismus, causing his eyes to be crossed. The vision in his right eye was so weak, his father, Marc, a PHS science teacher, explains, that Colby’s brain simply would not use the “picture”

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

that his right eye produced. This may have caused the crossing in the first place since his brain refused to use that eye.

When he was 2, Colby had eye surgery to correct the crossing.

The doctor informed the Polloks the surgery may only be cosmetic, making him look normal but not do anything to actually help his vision. They did not know if he would ever have binocular vision (depth perception, 3D).

For four years, countless prayers went out that the surgery would result in Colby’s vision being restored to a normal level. Marc Pollok, a former baseball coach at PHS, never thought his son would be able to play baseball, knowing it’s hard

enough to hit with two eyes functioning normal and figured without any depth perception it would be impossible.

This summer, playing T-Ball, the coaches informed Colby’s team they would be pitching to the kids that night.

Marc had never worked with Colby on live pitching, so he didn’t know what to expect.

As you can see on this video

from Facebook (https:// www.facebook.com/ marc.pollok.5?fref=ts), mighty Colby not only stepped up to the plate, he got a hit. He’s seen enough baseball to know what to do next, laying his bat down gently and running off to first base.

Colby Colby’s hit left his father in tears knowing Pollok prayers had come true.

The Bureau Valley Storm placed second in Tuesday’s TRAC Meet in Kewanee. Team members are Haley Weidner (from left), Kaitlin Mungia, Savannah Wall, Marissa Mungia, Sydney Sweenie, Heather Williams, Hannah Williams, Nataleigh Nugent and manager Christina Blanford.

Cross From Page 9 Weidner for the lead. That was short lived as Weidner made her move and put distance in between them.

“Going into the second lap I knew it was going to be tougher and that has happened to me before,” Weidner said. “I try not to think about what the other competitors are doing and I just stay focused on what I need to do, so I didn’t do anything really special.”

Being crowned conference champion is a highlight for the junior from BV but the success of her team was her main concern of the evening.

“I wasn’t focused on just the individual part of the race,” Weidner said. “We were going for top three and we focused on that.”

Being crowned conference champion is only one step for Weidner and her coach Dale Donner — she has aspirations of becoming a top 10 runner in the state.

“If Haley keeps working hard she could become one of the better runners in the state,” Donner said.

“She pushes the other girls and the other girls push her and that competition resulted in us sending 20 percent of the 15 runners to sectionals.”

Hall’s Jenna Parente (21:45) and Princeton’s Lauren McMillan (21:48) rounded out the top four for the girls. They were joined in the top 15 runners for all conference honors, including sixth place Annie Needs (22:27) of St. Bede, 10th place Heather Williams (22:34) and 14th Hannah Williams (22:47) of Bureau Valley, and 14th place Elizabeth Orwig (22:29) of Princeton.

The boys

Hall’s Westley Schmidt was the top area male finisher, turning in a time of 17.20.77, which was good enough for fifth place.

“The conditions were a little tough and I started to cramp a little at the end of the race. I would have liked to catch the kid I was chasing but the wind and stiffness made it difficult,” Schmidt said.

Princeton’s top finisher was Dillon Forbeck (31st, 19:53).

The Red Devils barely edged out their rival from St. Bede Academy 93-96 to finish in third place. BV (127) came in sixth and Princeton (239) ninth in the nine-team field.

Newman (29) was crowned TRAC champ, led by individual champion Chris Ahlers. Ahlers turned in a 16:41,18 seconds ahead of teammate Spencer Mauch.

Game

Pigskin Previews (Week 6) NEWMAN (5-0, 1-0) AT PRINCETON (3-2, 2-0)

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

BCR insider: The Tigers beat the Comets last year on the way to winning the TRAC Mississippi crown. They will need to do so again to repeat. While PHS has lost much of last year’s squad that went 11-0 before falling in the 3A quarterfinals, Newman has reloaded for another deep run in the playoffs. The Comets have outscored their first five foes 182-48 (36.4-9.6). See more insights in Game of Week feature.

Last week: Newman beat EP 48-13; PHS lost to Fulton 18-0.

Last year: PHS 14-0.

All-time series: PHS 5-3.

Radio: WZOE 1490 AM.

KEWANEE (2-3, 0-3) AT HALL (0-5, 0-3)

BCR insider: Hall coach Randy Tieman said the Red Devils will take a closer look at personnel to see who’s best at helping the Red Devils get better defensively and make tackles. Their passing game remains strong behind. The Hall running game showed some improvement last week against Sherrard, especially in the first half. Still, the Red Devils took a big hit, falling 52-25 to the Tigers, who won for the first time in 16 games. ... The Boilers battled St. Bede last week before falling on a late field goal 24-21. Kewanee has dropped three straight since opening with wins over Morrison and Riverdale.

Last week: Kewanee lost to St. Bede 24-21; Hall lost to Sherrard 52-25.

Last year: Hall 57-21.

All-time series: Hall 25-9 since 1981.

Radio: WAJK 99.3 FM.

ST. BEDE (3-2, 3-0) AT ERIEPROPHETSTOWN (1-4, 1-1)

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

BCR insider: Look who’s on top the TRAC Mississippi.

None other than the St. Bede Bruins, who will bring a 3-0 record heading into this week’s play, looking to become the first to reach four wins. While it’s a very nice accomplishment, SBA coach Jim Eustice notes the Bruins have three more difficult conference games to win to be champs. While the Panthers have won just once, defeating Sherrard 27-26 in a Week 3 squeaker, Eustice said it won’t come easy for the Bruins Friday. “EP is continuing to improve every week and is very physical and well coached. We are going to have our hands full stopping their triple option,” he said.

Last week: EP lost to Newman 26-20; St. Bede beat Kewanee 33-24.

Last year: SBA 33-14.

All-time series: SBA 12-1.

Radio: WSOG 88.1 FM.

SHERRARD (1-4) AT BUREAU VALLEY (3-2)

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

BCR insider: The Storm got an unexpected week off when Saturday’s game in Soldier’s Grove, Wis., was canceled due to heavy flooding in that area. While they always want to play, BV coach Spencer Davis said it may have been a blessing in disguise, giving the Storm an extra week to heal some injuries and rest up for the home stretch of the season. The Storm received a forfeit win for the troubles over North Crawford of Soldier’s Grove, but they have lost their last two games on the field — Rockridge and Orion. The Storm will need to turn things around starting this week to make a playoff push. ... Sherrard was feeling good after doubling up Hall last week to snap a 15-game losing skid dating back to Week 7 of the 2014 season. The Storm will know exactly what will be coming at them Friday and will have to stop the Tigers’ running game. The Tigers rode the 1-2 punch of Billy McAtee (167 yards, 4 TDs) and Cole Viager (158 yards, 2 TDs) for six touchdowns and 325 yards rushing last week. They passed the ball just once.

Last week: Sherrard beat Hall 52-25; BV did not play.

Last year: BV 63-20.

All-time series: BV 1-0.

Radio: WZOE 98.12 FM.

AMBOY/LAMOILLE (2-3, 2-3) AT LENA-WINSLOW (4-1, 3-1)

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

BCR insider: The Clippers will line up against a Panthers team coming off a 35-0 whitewash over Dakota.

A/L lost to Dakota 38-20 in Week 2. Le-Win rides a fourgame win streak since an opening night loss (28-14) to Eastland-Pearl City. The Clippers need a win to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

Last week: AL lost to Forreston 21-20; LW beat Dakota 35-0.

Last year: Did not play.

becomes a good ballplayer isn’t important, but the fact that he can play like everyone else is awesome.”

Marc is not one to make many posts, but this time he said he wanted to “praise to God for what he has done for my son.”

Colby wasn’t quite satisfied with one hit. Two nights later, after working with his Grandpa Pollok from Michigan, a former high school baseball coach, Colby had two more hits, including a nice line drive right over the pitcher’s head. Maybe little Colby’s career is just

beginning.

Marc Pollok said his son is just crazy about all sports.

“Doesn’t matter what it is. If something’s on TV, he’ll stop and watch,” Marc said. “He was really feeling into Olympics. It didn’t matter what was on, swimming, gymnastics. He wanted to watch it.”

Colby is my kind of kid.

I’m going to be sure to go watch him play next summer.

pete with a great program.

If you want to be a program that achieves success year in and year out you have to be able to compete with top programs, and we will have that opportunity again this week.”

Newman has shut out two of its last three opponents, defeating Morrison (40-0) and Kewanee (280) in consecutive weeks (Weeks 3-4). In their remaining games, the Comets have outscored their opponents 114-48.

Papoccia said the Comets continue to get better every week, crediting his scout team for pushing his starters every day in practice.

“I think we’re better defensively (this year),

even though were young, but were playing so well as a team,” he said. “And offensively, we’re different and have learned to spread the wealth, instead of having Brady Rude to bail us out. We have to rely on each other, so we’re a better team offensively.

“We’re of the opinion we’ve got to work hard every day of practice, and then play hard on game days. That’s the only way we can survive.”

Princeton was winning its games by a margin of 31.8 to 6.6 heading into last year’s Week 6 showdown with Newman (it was allowing just 3.5 ppg through four weeks). This year, that margin of victory has shrunk to 23-15.6 through five weeks of play. They are coming off a Week 5 loss at Fulton in

St. Bede (396) came in ninth with John Potthoff (91), Peyton Pyszka (96), Adam Lenkaitis (104) and Devin Cook (105).

Matthew Hoscheid shot a 93 for Hall (428).

Riverdale junior Tyler Bussert handled the strong winds blowing around Emerald Hill better than anyone else. He fired a 75 to top teammate Anthony Ruthey by three

shots. Also the medalist as a freshman, Bussert was the runner-up to teammate Joe Ibarra after a one-hole playoff a year ago in Morrison. “Last year finishing second kind of stung, but Joe won, so it wasn’t that bad,�

Bussert said. “It’s relieving to finish first because that was my goal. Finishing second last year, I wanted to win this year. I knew Anthony [Ruthey] was playing good, so I had to really bring my A game today.�

Hall coach Mason Kimberley said scores for everyone “were relatively inflated due to the conditions and set-up of the course.�

*Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

People used to think curve balls were just an illusion. But thanks to technology and the science of physics, we now know that a baseball actually does curve, as much as 18 inches, when thrown by a skilled pitcher.

At the end of the ninth inning, the numbers fell off the baseball stadium scoreboard. Add up each team’s runs to see who won the game.

1 1 1 3 1 5 1 1 DRAGONS:

Curve balls start when a pitcher throws them with topspin.

topspin

As the ball spins, its bottom surface moves in air flow the same direction in which the air moves.

wind resistance

Topspin makes the top of the baseball spin in the opposite direction to the air moving over the ball’s surface, creating wind resistance.

Pitchers can throw several kinds of pitches to confuse the batter. Do the math to discover which is which.

13:

This pitch makes the ball curve away from the batter.

10:

Wind resistance creates higher air pressure above the ball which pushes against the ball, making it fly in a curved flight path.

Follow the curved paths to reach the baseball.

This ball drops suddenly just before it reaches home plate.

Newspaper Numbers

In Circle One, write three words that describe Stacy Slugger. In Circle Two, write three words that describe her sister, Sandy Slugger.

Where the circles intersect or cross over each other, write three words that describe both Stacy and Sandy.

9: This ball curves down and away from the batter.

Look through the newspaper and circle five numbers.

Add them up.

Now look through the newspaper and find and circle 5 more numbers.

Add them up.

Which set of 5 numbers added up to the largest sum?

Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information.

This is called a Venn diagram.

Baseball Math Fact

Find the score of a game. Create a math fact or number sentence about that score. For example if the Giants beat the Cubs 9 to 3, the number sentence would be 9 - 3 = 6.

Standards Link: Number Sense: Students write and solve number sentences from problem situations that express relationships involving addition and subtraction.

Write a paragraph telling others about your favorite sport and why it is your favorite.
