Street improvements to begin in Princeton More trees and landscaping, sidewalk cuts and brick pavers planned

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Improvements are planned this month for the South Main Street and Elm Place parking area.

Nineteen trees will be planted on South Main

from Peru Street to the courthouse square, with brick pavers – likely the ones removed from South Church Street when sewer improvements were made – installed along the edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalk cuts also will be made.

The parking area

improvements will consist of timbers to edge landscaping beds, new brick pavers, concrete ramps, a kiosk foundation, trees, plants and perennials.

A request for bids went out Tuesday for all or part of the work; they will be due by 4 p.m. Oct. 11, Princeton City Manager

Rachel Skaggs told commissioners at Monday’s city council meeting.

The work should begin the third or fourth week of the month and be done before winter, Mayor Joel Quiram said.

The parking lot south of Elm and east of Main will remain gravel until

the city gets money to pave it, Quiram added.

Commissioner Laura Favia said she thought that, possibly, too many trees with too much of a spread were planned for the small area, and worried that if the trees had berries, some vehicles might be damaged

by bird waste.

The council can address those issues as the work progresses, Skaggs and Quiram said.

The trees for the south end of South Main Street have been donated by a local businessman.

WALNUT — Rock River Energy Services of Oregon presented new contract proposals for the village electrical accounts at the Walnut Village Board meeting, Monday, Oct. 3.

Mike Mudge, a representative of Rock River, offered several choices to the village for energy providers for the village’s six accounts, currently receiving services through a contract negotiated by Rock River. The largest energy user for the village accounts is the water treatment facility because of its 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a -week operation.

The current village contract will be expiring in December, but Mudge explained to the board better rates can be obtained during the fall, prior to cold weather because the demand is down, and energy companies are willing to negotiate better pricing aggressively.

After review of the proposed new contract choices, the board approved a new three-year contract with the least expensive option.

Mudge further discussed with the board the community program currently in effect within the village; 495 accounts are currently active with a three-year program with First Energy.

Since July 2012, the community program has saved the 495 accounts in excess of $226,000.

The three-year contract with First Energy will be expiring in July 2017, and Mudge will be providing

‘In it to win it’

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — An unfortunate twist of irony has caused a Princeton mother to reflect on her heartbreaking past, while remaining hopeful for the future.

In 1986, Lynn Lowe’s 4-year-old son, Jonathan, was severely injured in a farming accident. As she sat next to his hospital bedside in deep despondency after doctors told her he would not pull through, she made the then uncommon decision to donate his organs.

A difficult situation, it was the only way to find peace, knowing her son’s organs would allow someone else to live.

“It wasn’t a real popular decision. Not so many people did it back then. Parts of our family were religiously opposed to desecrating the body. However, I sort of took the reins back then,” she said.

Jonathan’s organs spared the life of at least five people — children and adults.

Fast forward 30 years and Lowe finds herself again sitting by a hospital bedside — this time for her older son, Jordan, as he awaits a new heart to spare his slowly dying organ.

Waiting for a heart

Jordan Dyer, 35, was born and raised in Princeton. On the outside he’s a handsome, young, healthy man, who, with a new wife and first child due this November, still has a lot for which to live.

But according to his medical records, doctors describe him as “a 93-year-old, halfdead guy.” Those words may seem harsh, especially considering the severity of his illness, but Dyer and his doctors have become very close, and the fact the 35 year old appears so young and healthy ... well, the levity in that statement helps emphasize the grimness of his situation.

Dyer was born with TGA (transposition of the great arteries), which means his heart’s aorta and pulmonary artery formed on opposite ventricles compared to a healthy heart. In short, the weak side of Dyer’s heart has

match they can find.

And as Dyer waits for that new heart, his slogan reflects the kind of man he is, as well as his hope for the future ...

‘In it to win it.”

illness has created a strong bond between the two.

“Together we’ve always said we’re the tough ones, and we’re the ones who can do this kind of thing,” she laughs.

Lowe has packed a bag each week and boarded the train to Chicago to sit with Dyer Tuesdays through Fridays in the Chicago hospital. She’s adamant about being there the moment doctors call and say they’ve found “the Ferrari.” As she sits there on Michigan Avenue where ambulance sirens blare every couple of minutes on the busy main strip, her mind’s constantly wondering if that will be the call.

“I feel ghoulish sometimes every time I hear an ambulance. You think, ‘Oh this could be our ambulance.’

It’s terrible to think of it that way, but I rationalize it by thinking — since I’ve been through this with my other son — I can be sort of a beggar for somebody else,” she said. “It’s sort of like you’re capitalizing on somebody’s death, but speaking from experience, it’s the only thing that will allow that family to find peace from their person’s death — to know their person lives on in other people. I can say that because I know that’s true.”

Lowe describes her son as being a tender-hearted guy — emotionally speaking, of course. An instant friend to anyone he meets, Lowe says he’s an “all-around great guy.” He enjoys watching sports; he’s a big Illini fan; and he coaches girls basketball in Janesville, Wis. Dyer and his wife live in Janesville, where he works in the seed research department at Pioneer.

Lowe said Dyer used to have a tendency to get down about his heart condition when he was younger, but she believes the close mother/son relationship the two built is what has kept him strong.

Lowe, a two-time cancer survivor, has also endured numerous procedures and surgeries in her lifetime.

Living through somewhat the same encounters with

Once Dyer’s heart transplant is complete, he will be left with a new life to live, but also an enormous amount of medical expenses.

The need has caused Dyer’s friends, family and community to rally around him.

Heidi Anderson, a second-grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary School in Princeton, has been a close friend to Dyer’s older sister, Meghan Pinkas. Anderson grew up knowing Dyer’s situation, but after hearing the news of him needing a heart transplant, she decided to share his story with her students.

Anderson keeps her class updated on his well being; they’ve sent him “get well soon” letters; and even came up with the idea to raise money for his medical expenses. The students put on a lemonade stand on Sept. 24 at the Princeton Farmer’s Market and raised $2,090.51.

Lowe gets emotional thinking about the amount of support the second-grade class has shown to her son.

“We just can’t thank them enough,” she said.

In fact, Dyer’s first stop once he’s released from the hospital following his heart transplant will be to see those students in Anderson’s class.

Pinkas has also started an online fundraiser to benefit her younger brother. So far the online fundraiser has collected more than $8,000.

On the website, Pinkas writes: “Jordan has been in the hospital hoping for a transplant for a month now, but regular life goes on. He and his wife, Heather, are newlyweds with a baby due in November, and as a mom of a 2 year old myself, I just can’t imagine the burden they are feeling. Along with the stress of waiting and the unknown, they have rent to pay, car payments, insurance, medical expenses and

A mother’s take on Rallying for Team the situation Jordan For the last two months,

Jordan Dyer been responsible for pumping good blood to his whole body, which it was not built to do.

Throughout his lifetime, Dyer’s undergone numerous open heart surgeries to help maintain its function.

At 15, he received his first pacemaker. When he was 17, Dyer had two surgeries in an attempt to correct his heart function, however, the second procedure failed and almost took his life.

The unsuccessful attempt left one option for Dyer — a heart transplant sometime down the road.

Throughout the last 18 years, under many medications, Dyer’s maintained the healthiest life his heart would allow. The idea of a heart transplant has never held him back and really only remained a thought in the back of his mind.

Last Christmas, after experiencing shortness of breath and difficulty climbing stairs, that thought became a reality when doctors said it was time to start searching for a new heart.

Since Aug. 15, Dyer has been anxiously awaiting that life-saving organ at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

“Slowly his heart is dying, but he’s hanging in there,” Lowe said.

A balloon pump doctors surgically placed at the base of his heart helps maintain its lifespan. They’ve told Dyer the average wait for a new heart is three months, and he’s now heading into his second month of waiting.

Because Dyer’s heart has responded well to the balloon pump, it’s given doctors the chance to search for what they call “a Ferrari heart” — the best model/

Students from Heidi Anderson’s second-grade class at Jefferson Elementary School in Princeton have rallied around Jordan Dyer, who is anxiously awaiting a heart transplant. The students have been talking about Dyer’s situation in class, and they decided to hold a lemonade stand to help defray some of Dyer’s medical expenses.

Princeton Park District announces fall activities for the entire family

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — No matter the season, the Princeton Park District and the Bureau County Metro Center work to provide residents of all ages with a multitude of activities to help them have fun and stay healthy.

Recreation and aquatics coordinator Nick Davis presented a review of recent and upcoming programs at the Princeton Park District meeting on Monday, Oct. 3. Davis reported there have been steady additions to membership rolls.

Of the 11-week Summer Day Camp program at the Metro Center, Davis said, “Our numbers

City prepares for semi-annual water main flushing PRINCETON — In preparation for the semi-annual water main flushing, the city of Princeton Water Department has increased the chlorine level in the water.

Residents may notice a strong odor of chlorine, which is a bleach like odor. If the odor is objectionable for drinking, keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for drinking, as the chlorine will dissipate from the water after a few minutes.

The city will conduct the semi-annual citywide water main flushing between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. beginning Monday, Oct. 10, and continue for approximately two weeks. Customers may experience a strong chlorine odor, cloudy or discolored water and brief periods of low water pressure.

The city urges the public to be cautious near open fire hydrants. For questions, call the Princeton Water Plant at 815872-0811.

were better than last year; we had an average this summer of 36 kids a week and had a high of 47.”

Davis said there was still no transportation available for activities out of town, but that everyone enjoyed themselves. He said campers made arts and crafts, played games, took a trip to the Apollo Movie Theater, and the Sports of All Sorts Week was a favorite.

As students returned to classrooms, the after-school program for kindergarten through fifthgrade students began with an average of 20 to 25 children per week but has now leveled off to around 15.

Youth basketball clinics will be starting Oct. 8; the youth league

Additional concerns were also raised by Mudge regarding scams that have been active in the area serviced by Rock River. One scam involves customers receiving phone calls that their power will be cut off because of non-payment if the customer does not immediately send a certain amount of money to the caller. Mudge wanted to remind everyone that power companies, including Commonwealth Edison, do not call saying the power will be cut and that all power companies have toll free

One of the most unexpected surprises on the activity schedule was the popularity of Nerf Nights.

Davis said children brought their own launchers and played a variety of games including Elimination and Capture the Flag.

Active adults also have plenty of organized events from which to choose. Davis informed the board of the success of adult, slow-pitch softball, the men’s basketball clinics and league, and the adult, indoor volleyball

• Grobe also proposed a proclamation in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Grobe had been approached by Freedom House asking the board to approve this proclamation. The board approved this, and Grobe will be notifying Freedom House of the board’s support.

“Players previously had to travel to Peoria, Rockford and the Quad Cities in order to play, so they’re loving it,” Davis said.

As the weather cools and trips to the golf course become less appealing, the Metro Center is offering tee times on 12 world-famous greens with their OptiShot simulator beginning on Oct. 20.

Housed on one of the racquetball courts, the simulator has proven itself a popular attraction and is entering its third year of use.

ready for foreclosure, and the letter from the attorney requested the board’s approval to proceed with the foreclosure. After the property is in the village’s possession, it is hoped the property will be put up for bid and sold. A motion was made to proceed. After some discussion, the board requested an appraisal be done on the property to provide a minimum bid amount for sale purposes.

• Superintendent Carl Minks reminded the board about the open house being held at the sewer plant on from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8.

• Minks also discussed the previously proposed street improvement project and the need to make a decision as soon as possible.

The board agreed action needs to be taken at the next board meet-

great, but unfortunately it’s a dying game. The golf simulator has been generating revenue and lets golfers swing their clubs year around. We’ve had some people in two or three times a week to play.”

Walk-in play is possible, but Davis recommended scheduling a tee time. The simulator can host a foursome, and golfers can play 18 holes for as low as $10. He also said previously held tournaments were well received, and golfers can expect more this year.

• The board expressed its condolences to the family of Geneva Jensen, wife of long-time village employee (now deceased) William Jensen, and also the family of Thomas Stone, former village board member.

• Village board member, Sharon Stone, submitted her resignation from the board. This resignation was effective that evening. The board accepted, with regret, Stone’s resignation and thanked her for her contributions to the board and her work for the village of Walnut.

BBB: Let falling leaves signal a rise in seasonal scams

will follow from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and The Pigskin Revival, a band from Princeton, will finish the night from 7 to 10 p.m.

Fall Fest on Main will also kick-off the Celebrate Walnut 50/50. The 50/50 sale will last a full year, with the winner being announced at Fall Fest on Main 2017. This raffle will benefit four different projects that will enhance the community: Main Street renovation, a new roof and reading garden for the Walnut Public Library, Walnut Days Celebration fireworks and a community walk/bike trail.

Other events include a scarecrow contest with winners announced at 6:30 p.m., and family bingo at the Community Building on Main Street from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Walnut Chamber of Commerce will be cooking out brats and hot dogs, as well as offering chips, pasta salad, cheese curds and desserts throughout the day.

When the Walnut Chamber of Commerce first discussed plans for a fall event, they had two visions in mind. First, they wanted to bring another exciting event to Walnut that families look forward to each year. This is an event for all ages to enjoy. Secondly, the Chamber didn’t decide to host this event to make money for the organization.

With all the money earned, the plan is to re-invest it back into the community, specifically Main Street. This event is part of the Enhance Main Campaign.

“The amount of work and investment that has gone into this project should make all of us proud,” Walnut Chamber President Brian Smith said. “To me, this is not just another successful Walnut project, but a showing of how a spark of pride and get it done attitude still very much exists.”

ROCKFORD — It’s fall, and many homeowners will begin preparing their homes for cooler weather by hiring specialists to clean and make repairs.

But, the Better Business Bureau warns to stay alert; scammers see this time as an opportunity to rip-off homeowners, and in some cases, steal thousands of dollars for unnecessary work.

“These scammers are specific as to who they are looking for,” says Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau.

“They often target middle-class homeowners, and in particular senior citizens. They often look professional — sometimes wearing safety vests, are polite, all to fool the homeowner into thinking that they are trustworthy.

“They are deliberate in the

way they carry them out,” notes Horton. “Typically, the scammer provides a verbal estimate to do the work for a very low price, but they later charge a much higher price, and the quality of the work is often shoddy.”

When the con artists get to the door they often offer these kind of jobs: Chimney/roof repairs Scammers disguised as chimney sweeps will tell you your chimney needs to be inspected, and then use hard sales tactics to get you to make expensive, unfounded repairs. Don’t fall for it.

Gutter cleaning - Fraudulent gutter cleaners tend to prey on the elderly or those who cannot clean their gutters easily. They will claim they have worked in the neighborhood before, and quote

you a very low estimate in return for shoddy, incomplete work.

Energy audits - Door to door furnace repairs - Many scammers offer a “free” energy audit to reduce heating costs, claiming to be a representative from your local utility company. They insist on costly upgrades for your attic, such as solar blankets or insulation, and may or may not burglarize your home while conducting the audit.

Ductwork cleaning Ductwork cleaning is rarely a necessity, so take caution.

Scammers are known to damage your heating system while cleaning it in order to leech more money out of you for repairs. They also may create indoor air hazards.

What are the clues you are dealing with a scammer?

They come to your door unex-

pectedly. Never let anyone you have not called inside. Without much inspection, quickly point out the problem they say needs repair. They say they have leftover materials from a project they just finished nearby. Offer unbelievably low prices. Accept cash or check only. Promise an unconditional guarantee on the work. Start work immediately Report all scams to the police and to the BBB Scam Tracker to help stop scammers.

Before having work done by someone you don’t know, research the individual or company. There are also tips available on the BBB website that can guide you in making your decision.

Coloring outside the lines ...

Everyone makes mistakes once in awhile. Some mistakes are small, and some are big. But every so often a person makes such a big mistake it might be called an epic failure. These are a few of my own epic failures.

It was a nice Thursday afternoon, and my mom was away having lunch with my grandma. My siblings and I were home treating ourselves to some delicious frozen pizza. I was sitting down to enjoy my pizza and gave Simeon my little brother a Bystry slice. He was being obnoxious, and he COMMENTARY threw it on the floor, which would be no big deal but the dogs spotted it and all decided they wanted that slice of pizza.

Elfie and Luna started a fight. They were fighting over a piece of floor pizza? So you know, Luna is a giant Newfoundland, and Elf is a small mutt. It was pretty scary, and I thought I needed to break up the fight ... so I grabbed the huge metal lid to our trash can and tried to get in the middle.

I ended up with four big puncture wounds on my arm from darn Luna. We called my mom to come home, but it was all over in a minute. I think I have learned not to get into the middle of a dog fight. Good thing a few minutes after it happened I was supposed to go to my awesomely cool friend Nate’s house. His mom helped me clean the wound, and I felt much better.

This next one will make you crack up. It was a nice Wednesday afternoon at piano. I had just gotten done with my lesson. I walked outside and saw a wheelbarrow full of veggies from Mrs. Brown’s garden. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a small green pepper. It looked like it might be spicy, and I love spicy things, so I picked it up and went back into the house and asked Mrs. Brown if I could have it.

She was in the lesson with my sister at this point, so she was distracted but told me sure also saying don’t eat it raw because it was a very spicy Thai pepper. Well, I knew I loved spicy things, and I figured she didn’t know how tough I was. So I went back outside with my mom and shoved the entire pepper in my mouth. It didn’t take long to realize I had made a mistake.

My tongue started burning, and my eyes started watering. I was freaking out, and my mom was trying not to laugh. She realized we might need help, so she went in and asked Mrs. Brown for aid. She grabbed a piece of bread for me to eat to try and help stop the heat, but I would say my mouth was burning for a long time. We hadn’t been taking lessons for very long at that point, and Mrs. Brown was worried my mom might be upset ... but my mom just figured it was just another epic fail by Simeon.

My siblings love to play with Play-Doh, and I know my mom makes it homemade. I wanted to help out one day, so I asked if I could make some for them. She was busy at the computer, and I was badgering her, so she finally said sure. I found the recipe and kept asking her this or that question, but she never came into the kitchen to see what was happening.

I added the water, salt, flour, oil and decided on the color blue for the food coloring. I had never made it before, so I figured it was all going well. I was stirring it and finally called my mom in to see if it was about done. When she came into the kitchen, she was surprised to see I had chosen to make it in her cast iron skillet rather than the usual pot. At this point the skillet looked like it was attacked by blue Play-Doh. The dough was stuck all over the sides and bottom. My mom managed not to strangle me and got most of the play dough out of the pan. After a good soak and scrubbing, the skillet was good as new.

Through all those failures came something for me to learn. I learned not to get into the middle of a dog fight, listen when someone tells me something is really spicy, and to wait until my mom is ready to help me rather than starting on my own without knowing how.

I have lived long enough to see a history lesson come full circle. The day Franklin Delano Roosevelt died, I must have been about 17. The ensuing days were filled with much gnashing of teeth, wailing, despair, disbelief

by Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike.

This completely unacceptable Harry Truman was our president! What was to become of us?

FDR had despised, disrespected,and not included Truman in the inner workings or secrets or plans of anything important to the nation. And we were at war.

Truman was being judged as “lower class” material.

A farmer turned haberdasher who was not a financial success. A mouthy guy with a temper. Remember what he was going to do to the critic who dared criticize his only child’s piano playing ... or any disparaging remark about his homely wife who didn’t have the guts to grab Eleanor Roosevelt’s coattail ... or how she was able to tame him when he became too cocky? After all, Truman had only been a lowly dough boy in World War I, a guy who loved the Masons, etc. But there was this connection with his political career and the Kansas City Pendergast “Gang.” Oh my goodness! (Can you imagine what today’s’ media would have done to him?)

All the while we are still at war.

President Truman was a strange mixture of humble and bravado. Slowly he and the public became more confident in his responsibility when he announced “the buck stops here at my desk.” Tremendous decisions had to be made. Decisions to this day being second-guessed by people who never put a foot in a trench.

For example, the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, saving hundreds of thousands soldiers’ lives as well as the possibility of saving our beloved homeland the horror of being a battleground. There was also the decision to tangle with the media’s darling, General MacArthur.

The general’s ego, self-serving superior attitude had not escaped Truman’s sense of duty to our service men and chain of command. It took a lot of bravery to tackle what could have easily been swept under the rug of political expedience. He remained a supporter of the Marshall Plan which rebuilt Europe.

World War II ended.

Once again our country is faced with a situation where (not one but two) “unacceptable” candidates are up for election in time of great peril. Without economical security, we can not solve our problems. One candidate has dabbed in politics for 30 years, and everything she has done is worse than when she began. We can follow her career from Arkansas to D.C. and across the world by the fog of lies, revenge and uncontrollable rage trailing her. The other candidate who has spent 30 years working his way through ideas seems pretty successful in the financial sector. How many of us would spend our own money to be president? The selection of Gov. Pence for running mate is a very astute decision.

His list of Supreme Court candidates respectful of the Constitution is very comforting to patriots. Otherwise, he looks a lot like Vice President Harry Truman did.

I’m a conservative Republican, but I think Harry Truman, one of us, was one of our greatest presidents. By the grace of God, this Republic has survived. This Election Day every town should close the taverns, ring the church bells. Every voter should prayerfully cast a vote.

We owe it to our Freedom fights, dead and alive, and our grandchildren. We are at war.

Margaret Bowers Princeton

TO Letter THE Editor

We are ‘better than this’ To the Editor, As election time is near, Princeton residents are showing enthusiasm by displaying candidate signs on their property. Sometimes, this enthusiasm goes overboard, and signs are stolen.

I would like to remind folks this is not only against

the law but against our Constitution. People don’t have this right in other countries, and we should be grateful to live in a country with First Amendment rights. Our town is better than this.

The Oct. 10 program at Tiskilwa’s Museum on Main will feature Bill Wendle (right), a local bicyclist who rode from Los Angeles to Boston in the spring of 2008.

Tiskilwa Historical Society will present ‘L.A. to Boston on a Bicycle’ on Oct. 10 TISKILWA — When a bicycle-riding buddy asked Tiskilwa Historical Society member Bill Wendle to join him in a ride across the continental United States, Bill surprised his friend – and perhaps himself – by saying, “YES!” Beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10, Wendle will share photos and stories of this adventure that started May 10 in Los Angeles and finished June 28, 2008, in Boston. For those who’ve dreamed of completing a trek like this, even in a car, the details of their bicycle ride should be fascinating.

Wendle explains that they signed on with a company who organizes bike rides by arranging for hotels plus breakfast and dinner each day as well as transporting gear. A collection of 35 riders from 20 states and four foreign countries pedaled through stunning scenery and intriguing

places to visit in those seven weeks.

But the group also met with major challenges, including dangerously high winds, scorching heat in the Mojave Desert, freezing temps in the mountains, and illness when half of the group contracted Salmonella.

Daily mileage ranged from 43 to 115 with an average of 81. Wendle notes, “When you are burning 5,000 to 7,000 calories per day, you can eat anything you want, and we were always on the lookout for restaurants offering homemade pie!”

After the program, historical society members will provide refreshments during the social time that follows in the galleries of the Museum on Main. As always, the presentation is free of charge and community members of all ages are welcomed to attend. A chair lift is available for those needing assistance to the second floor.

Flu shots: Maybe not what you think Two certainties this time of year are influenza and a campaign to get people vaccinated.

While most of my patients are wisely willing and able to get the shots, I have found many don’t really understand why they are getting it. There are also many patients who decline getting a flu shot, or decline it for their children. Of those who decline, I would guess 75 percent or more don’t understand what they are declining.

Of those who decline, the most common reason given is that they don’t want the shot to give them the flu, often followed

Dr. Timothy Pratt COMMENTARY by an example of a time they got the shot and some time later got the flu. What I have come to learn is that we are talking about two completely different and unrelated illnesses.

While it is well-established the inactivated virus in a flu shot does not give people influenza, it does not keep

people from getting the stomach flu, which is a very popular misunderstanding. The influenza vaccine (flu shot) is a way to protect you against the respiratory illness known as influenza pneumonia. Talk to someone who has contracted influenza, and they can explain the difference. It typically involves about one week of severe body aches, high fevers, fatigue and persistent coughing. During the illness you can’t work or go to school, and you would be wise to avoid others, particularly the very young and the elderly.

Stomach “flu” on the other hand has nothing to do with the flu shot. Your flu shot won’t prevent it, and it won’t cause it. Stomach flu, involving nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, can be caused by numerous different viruses, and it is a common winter time illness, but it is unrelated to influenza.

The flu shot isn’t perfect. It doesn’t always work, like in 2014-15 when it only reduced the risk of contracting the illness by 19 percent. Most years it is better. Last year it reduced the risk of contracting the illness

by 60 percent, which is more typical. I suspect if you asked someone who had proven influenza last year if they would have gotten a safe vaccine for a 60 percent chance at not getting sick, they would have taken those odds.

I hope you get a flu shot. But if you choose not to, I hope this will help you to understand exactly what it is you are declining.

Centrue Bank adds Sprong, Holloway

PRINCETON — Everett J. Solon, market president for Centrue Bank, recently announced the addition of Erika N. Sprong and Ashley D. Holloway to Holloway the bank’s mortgage sales team. As mortgage loan originators, they will be responsible for assisting customers throughout Bureau County and surrounding markets with home loans including purchases, refinances and new construction.

“Erika and Ashley both have strong ties to the local area and a wealth of mortgage background,”

remarked Solon. “I am extremely excited about growing our local mortgage sales team, and I can’t think of any two individuals better suited to assist our custom- Sprong ers than those who were born and raised in the very communities that they are now serving. We are committed to making the home loan process exactly what it should be – a fun and rewarding experience for our customers. Erika and Ashley bring both the knowledge and the care and enthusiasm to give customers the peace of

mind they need to reach one of life’s biggest milestones — home ownership.”

A life-long resident of Peru, Sprong joins Centrue with a decade of local lending experience and is active in the community including with the Illinois Valley Association of Realtors.

Sprong is also trained and experienced in USDA lending.

“Becoming a home owner is one of the most rewarding steps in life, but it can be an intimidating one,” commented Sprong on the announcement. “My goal is to guide customers through the entire process and to help make things as simple as possible for

the borrower.”

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business from Illinois State University and an Associate of Science from Illinois Valley Community College.

Sprong lives in Peru with her husband, James, and their daughter, Ava. Holloway first came to Centrue in 2009 and joined its mortgage team in 2010. She most recently served as the senior loan processing specialist and was responsible for analyzing and validating mortgage loan application data.

“I’m excited to be able to take what I’ve learned working behind

the scenes in mortgage support and translate that into educating our customers on the best possible options for their home loan needs,” commented Holloway on the announcement. “I’ve enjoyed partnering with mortgage lenders over the years, and guiding the mortgage loan process from application to close.”

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and an Associate of Arts from Illinois Valley Community College.

Holloway lives in Ottawa with her husband, Chad, and their two sons, Greyson and Mackson.

Robbins finds 1A golf to his liking

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Colby Robbins qualified for sectionals three times in Class 2A. He stepped down to 1A this year and did it again.

The Princeton High School golfer was the top individual qualifier in Tuesday’s St. Bede 1A Regional, shooting an 80 at Spring Creek Golf Course.

He tied for the fourth best score of the day.

“It’s (1A) a little bit easier, I think. It’s really going Colby to prove how much easier Robbins and tougher it is at sectional, hopefully,” Robbins said. “2A created me to think that lower scores are going to be better and that’s what I need to shoot to make it out. So coming here kind of took a weight off my back to shoot a higher scorer and still make it out.”

Robbins was red hot on the front 9, making the turn with a 36.

PERU — After the first set of the match was up for grabs, Princeton used the momentum gained from that 25-22 victory to propel itself to a much easier 25-15 victory in the second game to sweep St. Bede in two sets Tuesday during Three Rivers Athletic Conference play at the academy.

The Tigresses pounced all over the Bruins in the second set. The academy came out sluggish after the first set saw 14 lead changes and 13 ties before the Tigers finally took the reigns in the final moments of play and dropped three points in a row on the Bruins to break a 22-22 tie and the 1-0 set advantage.

Tigers, Bruins hold own destiny Game of the Week

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

While the Princeton Tigers and St. Bede Bruins have set their sights on different targets down the home stretch of the 2016 football season, they both have their destiny in their own hands.

The Bruins (4-2, 4-0) need to win out to claim the TRAC Mississippi championship, including this week’s battle with Princeton and a Week 9 showdown at Sterling Newman.

The Tigers stand 3-3, needing to win two out of their last three games to become playoff eligible.

It will all start on the gridiron at St. Bede Academy at 2 p.m. Saturday when the Tigers and Bruins clash for the BCR Game of the Week for Week 7.

“We control our own destiny in the conference race and look forward to the opportunity,” SBA coach Jim Eustice said. “Princeton is very big and physical and we are going to have to execute in all phases to beat them. Our homecoming is always a great atmosphere.”

PHS coach Jesse Snyder said the Tigers are up for the challenge, closing out the season with three road game, including this week’s stop at St. Bede and Erie/ Prophetstown and Sherrard ahead.

“This a great opportunity for both ball teams to compete in an exciting atmo-

sphere on Saturday,” he said. “It’s going to be important for us to attack each of these games with the most discipline and physicality that we can. We have three opportunities in front of us to give ourselves a chance. We hold that destiny in our own hands now.”

Princeton junior quarterback Garret Allen said the Tigers are excited to play a big game in front of the St. Bede homecoming crowd.

“It’s gonna be a great game between two good teams fighting for the playoffs,” he said. “I think we are up for the challenge, and I have a lot of confidence in my teammates. It’s gonna be a little different (playing on Saturday), but it’s

Jensen takes a swing at Crohn’s Disease Hitting a little white ball into a slightly bigger hole or squaring a round ball with the barrel of a bat is not the hardest challenge of Rachel Jensen’s daily routine. That’s the easy part.

The Princeton High School senior has been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, which has become the toughest thing she’s trying to hit each day.

Crohn’s belongs to a group of conditions known as Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). It is a lifelong disease that causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal

tract. It is more prevalent in ages 15-35. The cause is unknown, although diet and stress can aggravate the disease. And there is no cure.

Rachel’s journey began one evening during winter finals in

her sophomore year when she doubled over in pain that was so severe it put her on her back.

She thought it must have been something she ate or just the stress of a busy finals week and had no time for doctors with finals going on.

Four days after Christmas, getting no relief from her pain, Rachel had her gall bladder removed. Things went well for 11 months until Thanksgiving Day her junior year when she doubled up with severe abdominal pain and her parents took

her to the ER. Subsequently, Rachel went to see a pediatric gastroenterologist who her mother, Marilyn, says was an answer to their prayers.

He immediately suspected an IBD and ordered a battery of tests, followed by a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. That led to a lower bowel CT scan, a threehour test which required drinking 16 ounces of barium.

Princeton’s Colby Robbins takes a putt on hole No. 15 at Spring Creek Golf Course in Tuesday’s St. Bede Regional. He was top individual qualifier, tied for fourth overall with an 80.

“I came out to the front 9 knowing the course well and liking the way it formats to my game,’ Robbins said. “I kind of started off a little rough on the first tee, but after making that first bogey, it was smooth sailing because all my shots and putting was very good throughout the front 9, and I shot the score that I was hoping for.”

Robbins parred the first two holes on the back 9 and was able to play through some tough holes to settle down for a 44 to finish with an even 80.

“That’s what I was trying to do, start off as good as I could because the back 9 is a little bit tougher,” he said. “I kind of got tripped up by (No. 12 and 13), but I still kept it together and played to my mistakes, sorta, and didn’t let them overwhelm me and played through them.”

Princeton failed to qualify any other golfer, finishing sixth overall at 367.

The St. Bede Bruins doubled up with junior Pyszka and sophomore Potthoff.

Pyszka reversed his fortunes on the Spring Creek course, playing his best game on the front (39), where he normally does better on the back 9.

“I just played real good on the front and everything seemed to work,” Pyszka said. “I was making putts, putting (well) and hit every drive right down the middle.”

While he had a rough start on the back 9 with a bogey on 10 and a triple bogey on 11, Pyszka said he was able to “save myself by making shots when I needed them most.”

He called an 84 a good score.

“Overall, I am happy with my performance and am very excited to be going to sectionals with John,” Pyszka said.

By contrast, Potthoff played much better on the back 9 than he did the front.

“I started concentrating more and fixing stuff that I was doing wrong on the front on the back,” he said.

Hall’s Hoscheid overcame a tough start on the front 9 to qualify as the eighth man, parring out on his final five holes.

“It was great to see him retain his composure and play his best golf when his season was on the

No one is playing better ball than the Bruins. After dropping the first two games of the season to St. Catherine’s High School of Racine, Wis. and Bureau Valley, the Bruins have rebounded to win four straight. They have outscored those four opponents (Hall, Sherrard, Kewanee, E/P) 290-56 over that stretch.

Senior Adam Poundstone has become an impact player since recovering from a preseason injury.

He leads all area rushers with 725 yards and 12 TDs despite missing the season opener.

Princeton has yet to win on the road in two tries thus far, falling at Morrison and Fulton, but faces a stiff challenge of becoming road warriors to make the playoffs.

“No matter if it’s home or away, we have to show up and do what we have to do to win ballgames,” Snyder said. “As a team we know that we have to approach each one of these three games as if it were our last.”

Tigresses From Page 11 “When you give up the last three points of a game, it’s going to carry over into the next game,” SBA coach Karrie Damerelle said. “We try to coach to the girls to not let that happen in Game Two but sometimes it’s hard to restart essentially. That’s something we need to work on and that’s something that we can’t let happen.”

The hard-hitting combination of junior Anna Murray from the outside and senior Courtney Oeder from the inside that the St. Bede defense was tasked with proved to be an insurmountable one as the two peppered the Bruins every chance they got.

“They did a really good job of locking Anna up early and then we changed our hitting assignments up and then we just kind of took off from there,” PHS coach Andy Puck said.

“Our setters Kate (Vigars) and Jenna (Grimmer) keep getting the balls to the hitters and we really leaned on our back row tonight. Our front row played good enough to win, but our back row played really well.”

SBA held an early lead at 3-0 and had a four-point advantage at 14-10 midway through the first set, but the Princeton defense closed off many openings that the Lady Bruins appeared to have throughout the match.

Princeton recorded 30 digs on the evening with five Tigresses having at least four apiece on the evening.

Maddie Bejster makes a pass for St. Bede Tuesday at the academy against Princeton.

Oeder and Murray complimented each other nicely on the night as Oeder (9 kills) took control early in the match and Murray (7 kills) came alive after some offensive adjustments from Puck.

“We played hard, we gave ourselves chances to win and we executed things that we worked on in practice,” Puck said.

The Lady Bruins’ outside hitter Hallie McGuire racked up eight kills and libero Alexa Damerell had a game-high 14 digs.

GENERAL ELECTION NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016

From Page 11 the year, she was given a pill-like camera that took pictures of her digestive system. While her softball team was playing a game, Rachel received the diagnosis she indeed had Crohn’s.

Crohn’s is hard to deal with, Rachel said, because there are so many symptoms that can happen all at once.

“Sometimes I have my good days and sometimes I have my bad days,” she said. “I go through pain in my stomach to pain in my joints or sometimes both in one day. I am constantly fatigued and I could go from just a little nausea to a whole lot of pain, nausea, bloating and other things in maybe an hour’s time.”

She gets frustrated that she can’t be as active as she’d love to be, although it’s hard to imagine her life can be any busier being involved in golf, band, Madrigals, choir, softball and her studies.

“I was always worried about where the nearest bathroom was. I have to continually watch what and how much I eat. I allow myself ‘cheat days,’ but I have to make sure that I am staying home for a long time,” Rachel said.

After undergoing a six-week treatment of prescriptions with a pill box jokingly bigger than her grandparents’, the symptoms returned. She moved up to the next level of treatment to what is called the 6-MP, which is the equivalent strength that they give leukemia patients, Rachel said.

She took her first dose the day before senior prom which left her “super run down,” she said. She was so tired she fell asleep in one of her classes and then when she got home, she fell asleep on the couch.

A return to the doctors sent her up the next step of the pyramid of treatment, having to choose between infusions or self-injections. She opted

PHS senior Rachel Jensen receives an infusion to help combat Crohn’s Disease. It hasn’t kept her away from her many activities, relying on her faith, friends, family and music to make it through. for infusions, a 3 and 1/2 hour IV process, the first given after the July 4th weekend. The first treatment made her almost immediately feel better and some of the symptoms she had for months were gone.

The next infusion came on the morning of one of PHS’ first golf matches.

Rachel was at the hospital by 6:45 a.m. with the infusion done by 10:15 a.m.

She went to school, and then to golf. She was wiped out by the end of the day, but pushed through it to be with her team, “because that’s one of the best parts about my days.”

The infusions are making a huge difference, Rachel said.

“I feel great and normal, and the symptoms aren’t there. It is a great feeling to be able to walk around without the doubling-over pain that I have endured,” she said. “Even though there is no cure for this and it is a lifelong disease, I am sure that within the next couple years there will be one and I really hope to be at the top of the list.”

Rachel says her faith, family, friends and music have been what has gotten her through these tough times.

“I have relied on God

to help me through all of this. I know that if I didn’t have God in my life, I wouldn’t be where I was today,” she said.

“He has given me the strength to continue through the tough days when the symptoms get bad and to keep the faith when the disease feels as though it is too much to handle.”

She says her family has kept her mood light, always praying for her and making her smile. Her golf team is so carefree and fun to be around with it helps to forget the pain she endures.

It is her music that is her go-to feel-good activity.

“I don’t know what my life would be like without it. Going to choir and band and Madrigals every day just puts a smile on my face and I am doing something that I completely enjoy,” she said.

Rachel plans to study nursing (she was accepted to Liberty University this week) and work with pediatrics so she can encourage children and help those going through tough diseases. And she will be sharing their pain with them.
