Hedging its bets Does Princeton have a full house?

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council is currently looking into whether it can regulate the number of video gaming machines coming into the city.

Commissioner Laura Favia was the first to bring up the idea of looking into capping the number of machines within the city.

When the gaming machines first came to Princeton, they seemed to be a favorable idea — they brought tax money to the establishments, the state and the city, and provided a fun way for users to test their luck.

In an interview on Thursday, Oct. 8, Favia talked more about her reasons for wanting to regulate the machines.

Her first thought went to the bar establishments in Princeton. She feels the businesses are being hindered by the competition of gaming parlors popping up around the city.

“It’s hard for bars to compete with the gaming parlors,” she said. “They’re feel-

ing it — not bad, but they are feeling it.

So I want to protect them.”

Non-tavern establishments with gaming machines are able to sell cans of beer at a much cheaper price compared to tavern establishments. Also gaming parlors don’t have the expenses bars do with having to maintain bartenders, large coolers, food, insurances and more.

“Gaming parlors are competition to the bars. It may be unfair competition, and I want to level the playing field. I want to make sure our bars stay in business,” she said.

Favia has also been tracking Princeton’s tax money collected from the 57

poker machines in town. A trend she’s seeing is the more gaming machines coming to Princeton, the more tax money going to the city is either plateauing or decreasing.

Favia said in April the city collected $6,443 with 50 machines; in May the city increased machines and the tax money collected went down to $6,299; in June the number of machines stayed the same and the tax money decreased $4,935 and in July the city added two more machines and the tax money increased to $6,260.

Walnut hears update on vacating alley

By Nita Wyatt news@bcrnews.com

WALNUT—Village President Dennis Grobe reported to the board the status of the process for vacating an alley within the village at the Walnut Village Board meeting on Monday, Oct. 5.

Grobe stated that he had met with Matt Hansen, village engineer, and Rob LeSage, village attorney, regarding the vacating of an alley. The village has been trying to complete this process. Before a public hearing can be held regarding this, Hansen and LeSage recommended the village commission a survey to be done on the entire alley to determine the exact property boundaries on either side of this alley.

LeSage also recommended that any property disputes regarding this vacated alley are best handled in the future by the property owners and not the municipality.

It was also discussed by the board that there are easements in place within the alley property for cable companies, telephone companies and electrical companies. The board did then approve the expenditure for the survey.

In attendance at the meeting was the owner of two properties on Brewer Street in the village. The owner, Mike Schienier, had been sent a letter by the village, asking him to attend the meeting to discuss his intentions for his two properties. The village had previously been contacted by neighbors to these properties who were concerned with the property disrepair and the presence of rodents and other animals living in and coming from these properties.

Schienier stated that his plan is to have one of the properties torn down before the end of this year and the other property to be torn down before spring. He was questioned as to whether or not there was asbestos present in either of these buildings,

Seeding the trees of tomorrow State superintendent says our children’s needs must be at the center of the conversation

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Illinois State Superintendent Tony Smith was the main speaker Tuesday, Oct. 6, at the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) Starved Rock Division Fall 2015 Dinner, and he encouraged his fellow educators to value a child’s growth over any other aspect of their approach.

Smith, speaking at John F. Kennedy Elementary in Spring Valley, discussed

the complex relationship between having high aspirations for a child’s development while effectively handling the financial and political responsibilities involved with a public school system. He said the job of superintendent is a hyper-political role, and the ability to manage all relationships, be it the human or personnel aspect of the word, is integral to success.

“The stronger and healthier our public school systems are, the stronger and healthier our communities will be,” Smith said, adding students will do extraordinary things in the classroom if given an invigorating environment, so teachers need to prepare not just creative content, but stimulating social conditions as well.

“If the young person believes the work is relevant and has intrinsic value and they believe they can be successful; if they

can make that connection, kids will persevere,” said Smith, who added Illinois has a chance to blaze a trail on a national level when it comes to focusing on more than just test scores.

“The question of readiness is the right question to be asking,” he said, acknowledging the public is starting to see the results of college graduates and other young adults who aren’t properly prepared for the workforce they enter. “We’ve spent a lot of time asking how much our kids know, not how ready are our kids.”

Smith said it’s incumbent on academic leaders in the state to better prepare our children, and he’s starting the conversation with people in the field, asking them what they need and how things are going.

Not all wars are bad ‘The Lemonade War’ turns into a good lesson and fundraiser at Lincoln School

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Ryan Crawley’s fourthgrade students at Lincoln Elementary School turned their classroom into a cafe on Thursday, Oct. 8 — complete with baked goods and refreshing drinks.

The students recently finished reading the novel, “The Lemonade War,” which tells of a brother and sister who have competing lemonade stands. In the end, the sister decides to be the Good Samaritan as she donates her money to a local pet shelter.

Using similar themes from the book, Crawley worked with his students to help

them develop business strategies to set up their own competing treat stands.

The students used marketing strategies as they decided where to place their stand within the classroom and got a taste of advertising as they designed appealing signs to decorate their stands, hoping to catch the eye of a potential customer.

Crawley said while his students may not have realized it, through all the fun of selling baked treats, the students were actually getting lessons in many subject areas including business, marketing, advertising and math with handling money from their customers.

On the big day of the sale, students and teachers from other classrooms filed into the cafe to get a look at what sort of treats each student had provided and purchased items that looked most appetizing to them.

And keeping to the book, half of the money students raised went to the efforts of Princeton’s own local animal shelter, Friends of Strays.

Mautino encourages area to recognize Perry Memorial Hospital will Domestic Violence Awareness sponsor ‘Pink Night’ at Bureau Valley Month, new laws to protect victims SPRING VALLEY — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and state Rep. Frank Mautino is urging local residents to help prevent domestic violence in Illinois by recognizing the bravery of victims and survivors. Mautino also highlighted new legislation he supported this year to help victims escape their abusers.

“We remember the countless women who have suffered at hands of abusers, many of whom continue to suffer silently,” Mautino said. “We need to speak up for victims and survivors, and help to give them the tools to protect themselves and their families.”

Senate Bill 1645, backed

by Mautino and signed into law, gives victims who are trapped in a cycle of violence additional time to move in to a new home without the burden of having to pay utility service dues or fees immediately.

Mautino also helped pass a new law protecting those who report repeated acts of domestic abuse to law enforcement. Some counties and cities have ordinances punishing those who make excessive or false calls to the police, but Senate Bill 1547, supported by Mautino, makes it illegal to enforce such ordinances if the call was made to report or respond to domestic or sexual violence.

“We must do all we can to help victims escape violent households and these new laws are steps toward giving victims and families the support they need,” Mautino said.

“These new laws, along with continuing to help law enforcement crack down on domestic abusers, will give victims of domestic abuse the safety and support they deserve and need.”

If you or someone you love is a victim of domestic violence help is available. The Illinois Department of Human Services’ Domestic Violence Victim hotline can be reached 24 hours a day at 877-8636338. The hotline is tollfree and confidential.

PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton will sponsor a “Pack the Place Pink Night” on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Bureau Valley High School girls’ volleyball game.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness, Perry Memorial and the Bureau Valley High School are teaming together to show support for both the Bureau Valley Storm and breast cancer survivors. Students and staff at the high school will

sell T-shirts and 50/50 raffle tickets to support the cause. All proceeds will be donated to “The Believe Foundation,” a local charity which helps provide wigs to cancer patients.

According to the Susan Komen Foundation, it is estimated that in 2015 there will be more than 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women and in men, as well. Getting regular mammogram screening tests is the best way to

lower your risk of dying from breast cancer.

Screening tests can find breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

The freshman game will start at 5 p.m., and the sophomore and varsity games will follow.

Those that wear pink to the game will have the opportunity to register for a door prize. In addition, Perry will be giving out educational materials regarding breast cancer and the importance of self-breast exams.

The Princeton City Council is looking into regulating the number of poker gaming machines coming into the city. Commissioner Laura Favia believes non-tavern establishments with gaming machines are competing with tavern establishments with the machines.

Bets From Page 1 she said. “There is only so much gambling money in town that we are going to be using on these machines. I’ve been watching the tax dollars, and if we add five or 10 more machines I don’t think we are going to be gaining any more tax dollars. We’re just going to be hurting the current establishments.”

Favia said if vendors are not generating money for the gaming machines, they are pulled. According to data, she’s seeing

some establishments around town now pulling machines from their establishments.

“Initially, part of the law was to bring them into bars, where I think they should be,” she said. “I’m not against gambling, I just feel we don’t have to walk into every establishment and see poker machines. I love the tax money they’re bringing in, but we’ve now plateaued and we just keeping adding more machines.”

Favia said this is something she’s keeping an eye on. Controlling machines through liquor licenses, which is an idea dis-

cussed at the most recent council meeting, would be an extreme measure she doesn’t necessarily want to do. However, if the issue continues to threaten tavern establishments in Princeton, it’s a route she’s not afraid to take.

“I’m all for competition, but we can only support so much,” she said. “If the tax revenue was increasing every month — then good, fine. But we’re plateauing, and it’s raised the question of is this what we want? Let’s keep it on our radar.”

The cameras would be assigned to a specific officer and therefore it will be necessary to have all four of the cameras. The board approved this purchase.

Treasurer Nita VonHolten discussed with the board that the state of Illinois is changing some banking assignments for monies received from the state to the village.

The change, if the village remains in its current

banking arrangement for the motor fuel tax money, will cost the village a monthly banking fee.

VonHolten proposed that the village move its motor fuel tax account from its current out-of-town bank to a local facility. The local facility will not charge the village for checks written and this would save the village the proposed fees.

The board approved the move of this account to First Federal Savings Bank of Walnut and gave VonHolten the task of getting this new account set up and the money moved.

With the current budget, there’s a lot of upset in most other agencies, but K-12 is the one place that’s funded, Smith said.

He urged his peers in the room to turn their attention to support and maximize their service to chil-

dren and their families.

“There’s no better public system than you to do that. Every other public system serves segments of the population, but they’re never linked for a 12- or 13-year time span.”

Climbing the walls Recently, I attended the 50th reunion of the Amboy High School graduating class of 1965. All class members were laughing during the evening that it was a good thing we were given name tags when we signed in. We probably should have also given thanks that we had excellent first- and second-grade teachers who taught us how to read.

Our name tags also had our senior pictures printed above our names. When we read the names, we would break into smiles and say the person’s name.

This was the first time in years that most of us saw our classmates.

Quite a few of us graduates also had Tami something else McCracken extremely important happening Crawley that night at the COMMENTARY same time as our party. The Chicago Cubs were playing, still trying to win home-field advantage for the Wild Card playoff which would happen the following week against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Unfortunately, when all of us Cub fans began checking our cell phones for the score of the Cub game, we soon discovered we had poor reception in the building. My classmate, Colleen, asked her husband to go out to their car and listen to the Cub game on the radio to find out what the score was.

That wonderful man did and came back a little later to report the Cubs were ahead 1-0. They would finally win as I was driving home.

Colleen and I checked in with each other the next day to discuss how excited we were about the Cubs being in a playoff game for the first time in many years. Just think about it. For over 50 years, the Cub fans in our class never experienced the excitement of having our team play in a World Series game. In 1969, we thought they were heading for a championship season and would be in the World Series.

Back then, there were no playoff games; there was a National League winner and an American League winner. There would be a seven-game series between those two teams. I was in Connecticut that summer working at a YMCA Camp for both boys and girls. My husband and our two kids, 1-year-old Rick and 3-month-old Heather, and I lived in a cabin.

My husband was the Nature Lodge director and I worked at the camp office. I still managed to keep track of the Cubs that summer and was so excited.

They were in first place in the National League.

Slowly, but surely, the Cubs began losing games while the New York Mets began climbing up in the standings.

Just thinking about those days makes me cringe.

We ate in the Boys Dining Hall – the counselors, my husband, me and other staff members, plus over 200 boys who mainly were from various places in New York and surrounding states. I noticed that it seemed as if all those boys had parents who bought them Mets ball caps before sending them off to camp. They wore those caps to the dining hall. Have you ever tried to eat a meal with over 200 boys wearing Mets caps, talking excitedly all at the same time about baseball? Years later, I realized that if I had to choose between eating at that Mets-fan infested dining hall again or going through all the labor pains of giving birth to my nine kids again, I would choose the labor pains without hesitation.

At least the Cubs hung on until I got back to Illinois before the Mets climbed into first and won the pennant. I could mourn what might have been back in the comfort of my own home.

So will Cub fans from good old AHS’s 1965 class live long enough to see the Cubs play in the World Series? Notice I wrote “play” instead of “win.” I don’t want to get my hopes up too high. After all, when the game ends, I want my old ticker to still be ticking. Since Ernie Banks passed away this year, I’ll go ahead and make a prediction for next year like he always did: The Cubs will be a winning machine, all through the summer of 20-16. GO CUBS!

Does Princeton need a taxi service?

PRINCETON — When it comes to the question of whether Princeton could use a reputable taxi service, the overwhelming answer boils down to this — cabs could certainly be utilized to transport those who cannot, or should not, transport themselves.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said it would be nice to have a taxi service available to provide an additional option to the elderly or those who don’t have a license.

“Many of the elderly citizens in the area are reaching an age where they can’t drive,” Root said, adding there have been taxi services in the past, but the cabbies were not up to the hygienic or social standards deemed necessary for the community. “It would be more beneficial to have a professional taxi service than someone using their own vehicle.”

Princeton City Clerk Pete Nelson said codes regulate taxi fares and conduct in Princeton. Although it has been a tough go in the past, he said it would be great to have an enterprise used intermittently, if not regularly, that took people from one end of town to the other.

Eric Engel COMMENTARY

“My assumption is there’s not enough business in town to support a taxi service, but that’s not to say all have been unsuccessful,” Nelson added. “This is a mobile society where many people have their own transportation.”

Bureau-Putnam Area Rural Transit (BPART) provides shuttle transportation to a wide variety of individuals, but there are stipulations with the services. According to Mick Johnson, Director of Transportation for BPART, riders must schedule their trip 24 hours prior to travel, and by noon the business day before their journey. BPART shuttles run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Bureau and Putnam county residents, and the last available pickup time is 5:30 p.m.

“A taxi service would not be competition, because BPART can’t offer same day rides, so they would fill

in the gaps,” Johnson said, despite the fact BPART consists of close to 25 vehicles and assists thousands of passengers each year.

Root spoke of the option a taxi service would provide for those too intoxicated to drive, stating he would much rather see someone pick up the phone than get behind the wheel after a night on the town.

“DUIs cost a lot of money, and we don’t want to see anyone get them,” Root said, explaining the public’s misunderstanding of the allocation of money resulting from traffic tickets. “The city receives about 12 percent of the money from a traffic ticket, so it is not a revenue generator.”

Nelson spoke of an old-time trolley that was given to the city as a possible form of transfer, and Root said an Ohio native with a four-car fleet had considered a taxi service in town, but nothing has materialized.

For now, the shuttle and the sober driver remain an individual’s best friend, but keep an eye on the open road. A knight in yellow armor might soon come riding into town.

Do you think a taxi service would benefit the city of Princeton?

“Yes, a taxi service would help Princeton because it’s difficult for the elderly in the community to get around.”

Dora Gibbs, Princeton

“Yes, because it would help the younger people get around after hours and from the train station.”

Nancy Carper, Buda “Sure, they need it at night because there’s no transportation service available from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.”

Melody Levi, Dover

“Yes, if you get one that’s economical, it would benefit older people.”

Ray Demarlie, Princeton

“Yes, one that is dependable, because people want to know they have a safe ride.”

TO Letter THE Editor

Shadows of war darker than Blue and Gray To the Editor, The “On the Street” interviews in Tuesday’s BCR about the Shadows of the Blue and Gray event were an interesting read.

Andrea Etheridge’s comment that “it is important to see what war was like” caught my attention.

Little of what is portrayed in this weekend’s reenactment will show what the war was like. There will be no ticks and fleas crawling all over you; there will be no tainted salt pork or moldy hard tack to eat, and no questionable quality water to drink; no long marches over dusty roads in 90 degree heat wearing

wool uniforms. There will be no pitched battles with 20,000 or more armed men all seemingly pointing their rifles at YOU. There will be no cannon balls ripping off the heads, arms and legs of the men around you. There will be no canister shot shredding your comrades like tissue paper. There will not be hundreds of fatally wounded men crying for their mother as they slowly die on the field of battle. There will not be dozens of surgeons sawing off hands, feet, arms or legs trying to save soldiers’ lives. There won’t be swarms of black laborers hired to bury the thousands of stinking bodies that have been rotting in the sun for days or weeks after the battle. Attendees will not see any incompetent commanders, corrupt

politicians or greedy, dishonest government contractors.

The Civil War was a horrific time in our history. Re-enactments cannot bring back what it was really like.

All they can do is offer a tiny glimpse of the time and perhaps stimulate enough interest for a person to do a little further in-depth study.

For the “younger generations to learn what it was like” they should put down their i-Pads and cell phones and watch the evening news and pay attention to the ads for the Wounded Warrior Project. The wars of today and the weapons they are fought with are different, but the results to those who fight them are still the same.

NSDAR commemorates 125 years of service Princeton DAR celebrates by encouraging prospective members to join PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is conducting a membership drive as part of a nationwide celebration to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

All women who can document descent from a Revolutionary War Patriot are encouraged to consider the many benefits of joining the vibrant service organization, which has promoted historic preservation, education and patriotism since its formation in 1890.

“Our chapter, which was organized in 1896, one of the earliest chapters in Illinois, carries out the important mission of the National Society here on the local level,” said chapter regent Diana Williamson. “We are eager to welcome new members to our chapter, and we have volunteers available to help them research and complete their genealogy in order to apply for membership.”

Due to the ability to exchange and obtain genealogical information

Widmark wheels, deals in upcoming library movie PRINCETON — The next Widmark Wednesday movie finds Princeton’s own Richard Widmark portraying a two-bit wheeler-dealer whose latest scheme may turn out to be his last.

current series are scheduled for Nov. 9-12 (Widmark Goes to War Week) and Dec. 9.

Widmark, an Academy Award nominee who graduated from Princeton High School in 1932, acted in 72 movies from 1947 until 1991.

“We are eager to welcome new members to our chapter, and we have volunteers available to help them research and complete their genealogy in order to apply for membership.”

Diana Williamson, chapter regent over the Internet, interest in joining the DAR is at an all-time high, with six of the highest years of application submittals occurring in the last decade. The Genealogical Research System (GRS), which is a free online resource provided by the DAR to aid general genealogical research and to assist with the DAR membership process, has made joining the DAR even more accessible to many women. Explore these resources at www. dar.org/grs.

“Truly, there has never been a more exciting time to join the DAR. We offer today’s busy woman an opportunity to celebrate the joys of American citizenship in meaningful ways, and we are enthusiastic about the future of our Society,” said National Society DAR President General Lynn Forney Young, who noted that there are currently nearly 180,000 members of the DAR, serving in nearly

3,000 chapters across the nation and in several foreign countries. “I extend a warm invitation to all eligible women to join us in a rewarding future of service to America.”

Since its founding 125 years ago, more than 940,000 women have been inducted into membership. During the current three-year administration coinciding with the 125th anniversary celebration, the organization has issued a challenge to complete 10 million hours of service to America. Local DAR chapters nationwide are coordinating service projects in honor of DAR’s 125th anniversary throughout the year and members from coast to coast will participate in the National DAR Day of Service on Sunday, Oct. 11.

“From caring for veteran patients to assisting active duty service personnel, from preserving locations of historic sig-

nificance to welcoming new citizens, there are thousands of ways that Daughters are proudly answering the call to service in their local communities,” said Williamson.

“Here in our three-county area of Bureau, Marshall and Putnam, the Princeton-Illinois chapter, for example, serves by donating items to the LaSalle Veterans Home and playing bingo with the vets, honoring young students named Good Citizens by their schools, sponsoring the American History essay contests for grades 5-12, and currently donating U.S. flags to Hall High School and Starved Rock State Park. We are proud to carry out DAR’s mission to celebrate our American way of life.”

Williamson invited women who are interested in membership to visit www.DAR.org and to contact the local chapter at www.ildar.org to obtain more information.

The Beef Checkoff program: Why is it important?

I became interested in the Beef Checkoff program because my mom was recently chosen as a member of the Illinois “Team Beef” advocacy group. Each time they run a race, they wear t-shirts promoting the positive aspects of beef in a runner’s diet.

“Team Beef” is sponsored by our state beef association because of the localized funding made available through the Beef Checkoff program. My mom’s participation in “Team Beef” and her focus on being a better beef advocate caused me to research the Beef Checkoff program in greater detail.

When doing my research, I felt it was important to first understand how it was started. The U.S. Congress created the Beef Promotion and Research Act, also known as the Beef Checkoff program, with passage of the 1985 Farm Bill. Producers approved the initiative making it mandatory in 1988 with 79 percent voting in favor of it. After the bill passed, all producers must pay the equivalent of $1 per head each and every time a beef animal is sold throughout its lifetime.

Now that you know a little more about the background of the Beef Checkoff program, let’s talk more specifically

Lauren McMillan COMMENTARY about where the dollars are invested.

The Beef Act specifically defines six areas where checkoff dollars can be invested.

The first area I’d like to discuss is promotion. Promotion includes advertising, new-product development and promotional partnerships with restaurants and supermarkets. The goal is to stimulate sales of beef and beef products. One of the newest promotions funded by the Beef Checkoff program is called the “30 Day Protein Challenge.” It is a fun, step-by-step 30-day plan that helps consumers get a balanced amount of protein at each meal, including delicious, protein-rich beef.

The second area of investment is research. Investing in research provides the foundation for checkoff-funded activities. Projects are developed and researched based on the nutritional

Flea market in Princeton PRINCETON — A flea market will be at Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton on Sunday, Oct. 18.

of the more recent success stories happened last year in Sri Lanka. The beef checkoff program’s focus to educate local chefs and retailers led to Sri Lanka ending its ban on imports of U.S. beef.

The sixth and final category is producer communications. By focusing efforts in this area, the checkoff program educates and informs cattle producers about practices they can implement in their operation. The goal is to help them increase the value of their end product, as well as improve quality control to ensure a safe and wholesome product for the consumer.

In all six of these categories for checkoff fund investment, the dollars help act as a catalyst for change. In the end, the Beef Checkoff program increases profit opportunities for producers by keeping beef in the minds of consumers and by working to ensure a wholesome, quality beef-eating experience every time.

I hope that you now have a greater appreciation for the importance that the checkoff program plays in the overall U.S. beef industry, I know I do.

value of beef, food safety, product-enhancement research and overall market research.

The third category for investment is consumer information. This area focuses on enhancing beef’s image through nutritional data and other positive messages. Target audiences not only include consumers but also news media, dietitians, teachers and physicians. The newest initiative in this area uses online gaming to attract consumers. For example, the recently launched “Grocery Grab” game is designed to give people a realistic experience of selecting beef cuts to build a nutritious meal.

Next is industry information. When putting checkoff dollars to work in this area, the goal is to promote a greater understanding of the beef industry and to maintain a positive view of beef. They do so by providing factual information to people in the food industry about food safety, environmental issues and animal-welfare.

The fifth category for investment is foreign marketing. By investing in foreign marketing, the checkoff program works to help identify and develop international markets for U.S. beef. One

Tractor Supply Co. hosts Paper Clover campaign Tractor Supply Company, in partnership with National 4-H Council, is hosting another Paper Clover campaign in October.

From Oct. 7-18, Tractor Supply Co. and Del’s Feed and Farm Supply customers have the opportunity to purchase paper clovers for $1 or more during checkout. At the end of the campaign, 70 percent of the funds raised will benefit state and local 4-H youth development program activities, such as local camps and after-school programs, and grant scholarships for 4-H youth in the communities where Tractor Supply and Del’s stores are located.

The remaining 30 percent of the total funds are donated to National 4-H Council to help connect more young people across America to

high-quality 4-H youth development programs.

“The Paper Clover fundraiser is a significant part of Tractor Supply Company’s support of 4-H programs throughout the 1,300-plus communities we serve,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing for Tractor Supply Co. “We are proud to be able to provide essential funding to more than 1,000 county 4-H programs. These programs make a positive impact on young people that last a lifetime.

The continued success of the Tractor Supply Paper Clover fundraisers demonstrates the importance of our 4-H partnership with our customers, team members and communities.”

“For many years, the fundraising event has allowed us to pro-

vide thousands of 4-H youth across the country greater access to 4-H programs,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, National 4-H Council. “We are thrilled about our continued partnership with Tractor Supply Company as it drives the excitement of local community participation and support for 4-H programs, and therefore the success of the 4-H Paper Clover campaign.”

Tractor Supply Co. raised $913,553 during the 12-day spring Paper Clover campaign held earlier this year.

The amount broke the record for most monetary donations during the four-year collaboration. Tractor Supply has raised $7,029,426 for 4-H programs across the country through Paper Clover campaigns in just five years.

March of Dimes benefit planned in Ladd LADD — The Midland States Bank Team will host a Rip’s Chicken Night from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, to benefit the March of Dimes at Rip’s, 311 N. Main St., Ladd. The event will be dine in or carryout (call 815-894-3051).

There will also be a bake sale and raffles. Tickets are $8 and include a quarter chicken or chicken strips and fries.

Stroke detection screening scheduled PRINCETON — Stroke is a major public health concern. The mortality rate, medical cost and disability burden for those suffering a stroke is significant and disturbing.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. and kills more women than breast cancer every year. Unfortunately, most people don’t notice a sign or symptom until after a stroke occurs. That’s why stroke is commonly referred to as the “silent killer.”

Early detection is the key to saving lives and saving health expense.

Wellness screenings will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct.

19, at the Bureau County Farm Bureau, 535 Elm Place, Princeton.

Stroke Detection Plus, a mobile vascular screening company, uses ultrasound technology to detect blockages in arteries and vessels of the body.

The screenings performed include: carotid arteries, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease and osteoporosis.

As a Farm Bureau member, all four tests are $100, which equates to a $35 savings off of the $135 community price.

Appointments are necessary. To set up an appointment, call toll-free to 877-732-8258.

The Hall Lady Devils celebrate their Senior Night victory over Putnam County Thursday at Hall.

Volleyball: Hall def. PC 25-13, 25-22

Hall seniors shine against PC

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — In a match that never saw the Hall Lady Red Devils trail, it was fitting that senior standout Brooke Keegan started the night with four straight points that got the Red Devils going in their 25-13, 25-22 victory over rival Putnam County Thursday, Oct. 8.

“Brooke played awesome tonight,” Hall coach Bernadette Savitch said.

“She hit her serves, hit her zones well, she was all over the court setting and had some digs tonight as well.

She just played an amazing game tonight and also got a few kills in tonight, and as a setter they love when they can get some attacks at the ball.”

Many thought that PC (14-7, 5-1) had the advantage coming in, but the rivalry brought out the best in the home team crowd as the Spring Valley (9-17-1) fans had the gym abuzz and created a playoff like atmosphere PC had

trouble dealing with, especially on the serve-receive.

“We did a really phenomenal job of never giving up and making Hall earn the end of the match,” Putnam County coach Amy Bell said. “The girls fought hard at the end and we had fought hard in the end, and Hall had some really good serves. They created an environment in the gym like we hadn’t seen before and it was hard for the girls to adjust to. I’m glad that environment was created now and not in the post-season, and now we know what to expect in the future.”

PC clawed its’ way back into the first set, tying the game 8-8 on a kill by sophomore hitter Presley Hatton but four straight service points from junior right side hitter Tori Coble sparked another Hall scoring run as they outscored PC 17-5 down the stretch.

Junior defensive specialist Madi Quinn then rattled off six straight of her

MCNABB — Hall’s Amanda Scheri and St. Bede’s Aiko Mendoza are coming home and they’re taking Princeton’s Arraia Hicks and Audra Reidner with them.

The Bureau County foursome has played through to the St. Bede sectional at Spring Creek Golf Course Monday, qualifying from Thursday’s Putnam County regional at Edgewood Park Golf Course in McNabb. Hicks (88), third overall, Scheri (97) and Reidner (100) were the top three individual qualifiers. Mendoza (107) seized the seventh of 10 spots.

Spring Creek is the home course for Scheri and Mendoza and they can’t wait to get there.

“I get to go to Spring Creek now. Hoping to shoot well there. I practice there every day, so I’m hoping it’s a good score,” Scheri said. “This was set up perfectly. Edgewood is just down the road, so I was able to come down about three Sundays in a row and see the course.”

“It’s great, especially because it’s my junior year and at our home course. Gives me a second chance,” Mendoza said.

The St. Bede junior, who make her third straight sectional appearance doesn’t think playing at Spring Creek necessarily gives her a big advantage.

“It does, because it’s my home course. But I feel it’s fair game to everybody, because the course isn’t that much of a maze,” Mendoza said.

While disappointed to miss out on a team berth for the first time in their high school careers, Hicks and Reidner were glad to

Houses divided between Cubs and Cardinals fans Interfaith marriages and relationships have withstood a lot of hardships, be it financial, mental or other strife.

But can they withstand a house divided when it comes HIERONYMUS’ to baseball? Cubs and Cardinals baseball. And for a new HYPOTHESIS twist, the playoffs.

For all the good-natured spirits and banter going on this is new, something different. back and forth for decades and Did we say, it’s never hapgenerations, dating back to pened before?

the 11 World Series championships and Red Octobers in St. Louis.

Cubs fans prefer to live in the now, their last World Series title some 107 years ago. They are banking on Theo’s Gang that promises to be built for the long haul to join those Redbirds this year and beyond.

None of that will mean a thing this weekend when the longtime rivals meet in the NLDS. It’s bringing many households up and down Interstate 55 between St. Louis and Chicago, and all around, including Bureau County, to a standstill.

One side, like mine, bleeds

Cardinal red. The other side, like my wife’s, bleeding Cubbie blue.

I love that gal of mine to death, despite her upbringings when it comes to baseball. But that’s OK. Our oldest daughter was born on a late September day in 1997 on a day the Cardinals beat the Cubs; it was only natural she followed Dad. The youngest, also a Redbird rooter, can cite the history of the Cardinals as well as the Cubs World

Series championships, both years.

I’m learning we are hardly alone as a house divided.

Hieronymus From Page 11 native, came to Illinois in 1973 to take what was supposed to be a one-year teaching job. Forty two years later, he’s still around, now a part-time principal at Dalzell Grade School. He married a Cubs fan, Kathy (Vicini) Parker, years ago, and they are definitely a house divided.

“My wife family’s are all Cubs fans. When the Cubs don’t win, it’s all good. But when they do, it’s tough. It’s divided no doubt,” he said. “It’s kind of religion around here, because we really do love our baseball, especially our teams.”

Kathy once got picked to do a commercial for WGN about her favorite Cubs memory.

Steve said it’s going to get real interesting around their house coming up, especially who they have over to watch the ball games.

“She’ll have her Cubs stuff on, I’ll have my Cardinals stuff on. We’ve got more than one TV in the house,” he said. “I have two daughters that are Cardinals fans.

My other daughter is a Cubs fan. That splits that. And I have two sons-in-law that are split. So as long as I can get the right group over here, I’m OK. “The world loves an underdog so that’s what we’re dealing with.”

Princeton volleyball coach Andy Puck grew up a big Cardinals fan in Moline. He came to Princeton and met and married a local gal, Gina Lopez, a Cubs fan. They have traveled the country making baseball tours, their count now tallying 16 ballparks. But it always come back to the Cardinals and Cubs.

“My passion is the Cardinals. Always has been, always will be,” Andy said. “However, I am happy when Gina is happy. And, the recent Cub success makes her happy.

“I am lucky to have such an avid sports fan as a wife that also shares a love for baseball and ballparks.”

Gina figures it’s her time to shine with her team, and has scored tickets for Game 3 in Chicago Monday.

“I have been more than willing to travel to see the Cardinals play in playoff games multiple times and in the past Andy has expressed that he would do the same for me if the Cubs would just get to the postseason,” she said. “He told me (Wednesday) night that ‘It’s the Cubs, we can’t miss this,’ and with it being the Cardinals it makes for a fun, albeit tense, week in our house.”

Seems my old pal Kevin Marsh is softening up a bit these days when it comes to keeping a happy marriage in his divided house. A close source said he was wearing a Cubbie blue hat Wednesday in support of his wife, Pam’s, aka Moses’, favorite team.

Manlius native Dave Oloffson (Class of 1989) grew up a big Cubs fan. He moved south and married a Cardinals fan, Cathy, who is from Saybrook, just outside of Normal. They have one daughter, Kayla, (Cardinals), a junior in high school, and another, Mallory (Cubs), a seventh grader, who keep the household evenly divided.

Naturally, they are flying the House Divided flag at their house in Normal, which kind of makes their family abnormal.

Former Bureau County residents, Shawn and Karen Doubet, now of Peoria, have a mixed household. Their

Shawn said his wife and their middle daughter, Kaitylyn are reasonably indifferent, though his wife would profess to Cubs-fandom when pushed.

Their youngest daughter, Emily has recently strayed from the family lineage, by friends to the red line.

“I would imagine that my youngest will not be watching the games with me, but her friends,” Shawn said.

While it is all in good fun, Gina Puck ponders their relationship coming up over the course of the next week.

“I just may not feed him for the week,” she said.

BCR Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus grew up in Atlanta, Ill., which was once pegged by a central Illinois newspaper as ground zero for the Cubs-Cards rivalry. He is a lifetime Cardinals fan, enjoying his team winning five World Series and making five other appearances in his lifetime. His wife, Kami, not so much as a Cubs fan, but has high hopes this year to raise the W flag.

At Mendota: Westley Schmidt (6th, 17:45) and Ethan Cattani (9th, 18:05) turned in top 10 finishes for the Hall boys Thursday.

Jenna Parenta finished 10th (21:54), then the Lady Devils packed it in with 12th Kaylee Olivares (22:44), 13th Matti Heiden (23:42), 15th Lainey Robbins (23:46) and 16th Amelia Moreno (24:22).

Hall From Page 11 own with three aces to blow the first game wide open at 20-9, creating an easy cushion for the Red Devils to cruise to a first game victory.

“PC really struggled with the serve receive tonight which was an advantage for us. Hats off to our girls serving because our last match we gave up eight serves, so we really focused a lot on that.

Obviously the high energy in this place tonight was extremely helpful to the girls,” Savitch said.

Receiving the serve doomed the Panthers once again in the second set as Coble rattled off five more service points with three aces to put the Red Devils up 17-6.

“Volleyball is a game that is all about momentum and Hall got the momentum early, and it’s really hard to get the momentum back and we struggled to get it back.

We got it back in the second set with our run but we were just too late,” Bell said.

Momentum started to shift in favor of the Panthers as they chipped

Regional From Page 11 that the team would go.”

“I think it shows how much work we’ve put in the last four years,” said Reidner, who celebrated the moment with a dinner at Olive Garden.

Hicks, like most golfers, found the back nine, where she started from, to be a little more challenging. She was very happy with her round on the front nine.

“The back nine was a little rough and the front nine was a little better,” Reidner said.

Scheri missed all of last season with an ACL injury and said her knee feels fine most days. She spent most of the season golfing on the boys team and has had to adjust moving up to the girls tee blocks, she said.

She said coach Tom Bauer has helped on her mental approach and shaking off bad shots.

Mendoza wasn’t happy with her overall game, in particular her short game and irons.

“I’m really going to practice to get back into it for sectionals. A lot of practice and a lot of rest,” she said.

Princeton (416) placed fourth as a team, missing out on qualifying for the first time in four years. Jaimee Ciesielski (114) and Brooke Hieronymus (115)

STERLING 17, GENESEO 14

Kickin’ Leafs out Diaz’s field goal proves difference in Warriors’ big win

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550 @pm222

STERLING – Sterling kicker and soccer star Tony Diaz missed a penalty kick against Geneseo on Tuesday, and a long field-goal attempt at the end of the first half in Friday’s football game against the Maple Leafs.

But he wasn’t about to miss again.

Diaz boomed a 37-yarder to put the Golden Warriors up by two scores, and it turned out to be important as Sterling hung on for a 17-14 win in a key NIB-12 West matchup at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

It was Geneseo’s first regular-season loss since Week 4 in 2013 to Sycamore. The streak was snapped at 20.

“The first one, the hold was a little off and I didn’t get a good kick,” Diaz said of his 43-yard try at the end of the half. “So it was nerve-racking, looking at the scoreboard, seeing the time, and knowing this was a big moment.”

Diaz knew he had enough

leg, kicking 55-yarders in warmups. It was just a matter of all the moving parts going right.

“I knew I had to stay calm,” Diaz said. “It was one of the best feelings ever seeing it go in. That kick pretty much sealed it.”

His kick with 5:25 to play in the game put Sterling (6-1, 3-0 NIB-12 West) up 17-7. Warriors safety Turner Morse picked off Geneseo quarterback Will Daniels on the fourth play of the ensuing possession. The vertical threat on the route fell down, and Morse knew Daniels’ only option was the drag, and Morse jumped the route to give Sterling the ball back.

“I wanted to make some plays,” Morse said. “I felt I had to redeem myself after a bad week last week. I kept my head up and made one.”

But the Maple Leafs didn’t go away. Their defense forced a three-and-out, and Daniels orchestrated a nine-play, 60-yard scoring drive to cut the deficit to 17-14 with 12.8 left on the clock.

Geneseo recovered its onside kick at the Sterling 48, and had 10.1 seconds

10 Franchises One Location!

to score. Two Hail Mary attempts failed and Sterling hung on for the win.

The Maple Leafs (6-1, 2-1) came in with a stout defense that allowed just 32 points through the first 6 weeks, including allowing zero points in first quarters – until Friday. Geneseo held Sterling Thornton – the area’s No. 3 leading rusher entering play – to 19 yards on 15 carries, but the Warriors found other players to step up.

Sterling scored on its opening drive on a Thornton 1-yard run, and added another score early in the second half when Thornton found receiver Jordan Asbury down the sideline for a 34-yard touchdown reception.

The Warriors looked like the defensive monster, as defensive end Treay Martin raised the bar. The junior was a wrecking ball, picking up two sacks and three tackles for loss.

“We’re not as big as them,” Martin said. “But we played hard and got into their backfield. We stepped on their throats and made it tough all night.”

DIXON 44, STILLMAN VALLEY 36

Defense when needed Dukes make key stops in second half to knock off Stillman Valley

BY TY REYNOLDS treynoplds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5554 @STyReynolds

DIXON – On a night when the Dixon offense was clicking on all cylinders, Friday’s game against Stillman Valley came down to the defense getting big plays in the final seconds.

The Dukes thwarted two pass attempts in the final 10 seconds at A.C. Bowers Field, securing a hard-fought 44-36 victory over the Cardinals to become playoff eligible with their fifth win.

“We know the offense has our backs,” senior defensive back Benny Mayes said, “and it was our turn to have theirs at the end. We knew we were going to do whatever we had to do to stop their offense, especially with our backs to the wall to win the game.”

Dixon (5-2, 3-2 Big Northern West) had things going on both sides of the ball in the first half, as the defense got two stops in four Stillman Valley drives, and the offense scored on four of its five possessions; the only time it was stopped was due to the clock running out for halftime.

The Dukes amassed 322 total yards before the break, with senior quarterback Nate Gascoigne completing 16 of his 17 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns – both to Kyle LeBlanc, who had 126 yards receiving in the game.

“Everything was working, and we were

just taking what their defense gave us,” said Gascoigne, who finished 26-for-29 for 250 yards. “We threw the ball well, we ran it well, and we have so many weapons – and they were all on tonight.”

The second half saw the Cardinals (3-4, 3-2) find their offensive rhythm. Stillman scored on three of its six drives, and got as close as 38-36 with 4:13 to play.

But two of those non-scoring possessions were stopped by fumbles, which Dixon turned into Nyrel Sullivan’s third and fourth touchdown runs. The second of those fumbles was the killer, as it came after the Cardinals defense had forced a punt. Sullivan’s 10-yard TD run after Kaylon Westmorland recovered the fumble gave the Dukes a 44-36 lead with 2:16 remaining.

Stillman drove down to the Dixon 5-yard line on the final possession, but couldn’t punch it in.

ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 48, KEWANEE 23

Morale booster

Panthers get back on track with rout of Boilermakers

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5552 @CodyCutter35

PROPHETSTOWN – With morale not so great after back-to-back heartbreaking losses, the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers felt a sense of urgency Friday before their home game with Kewanee.

Before game time, Panthers senior lineman Jack Heflin had a conversation with junior Kody Wetzell.

“It’s your night. You’re going to have a big one,” Heflin recalled of their conversation.

“If you don’t get me three touchdowns, we’re going to have problems.”

Little would Heflin know, Wetzell accomplished that task in a matter of 8 minutes, 32 seconds. Running the game’s opening kick for a touchdown, intercepting a pass for another, and rushing for yet another, Wetzell helped put the Boilermakers in a hole early as the Panthers won 48-23 at Mosher Field.

Wetzell took back the opening kick for 92 yards, ran back Boilermaker quarterback Nick Sheets’ left-side pass

for 41 yards about a minuteand-a-half later, and rushed for a score from 14 yards on a sweep left.

“We were all ready,” Wetzell said. “I could see in my team’s eyes that we were all ready to go. That fired me up.”

Getting by the Boilermakers’ passing game was a challenge for the Panthers (4-3, 2-2 TRAC Mississippi). Sheets slipped and slid past Panthers defenders in pressure situations. And when pressure mounted, Sheets made good on most of his connections – including a pair of deep heaves to Donavan Oliver for scores.

Sheets passed for 291 yards on 20-for-31 passing for the Boilermakers (2-5, 0-5), but mustered only 1 yard on 11 keepers. Heflin had a pair of long-loss sacks for a net of 21 yards.

“He’ll be looking down the field, but he sees you coming,” Heflin said about Sheets.

“So he would just step back real quick, and I’ll lift and look silly. I just try to get up and get him again. But by the time I get up, the ball’s gone.

He’s just a great athlete.”

NEWMAN 54, SHERRARD 7

Rude return Comets’ back gets Newman on track

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529 @BWest-SVM

SHERRARD – Once again, Brady Rude lit up the stat sheet.

The Comets’ senior back had 191 all-purpose yards, 3 touchdowns, and didn’t see a snap in the second half against Sherrard on Friday. His biggest play might have been when he tiptoed the sidelines in the second quarter for a 30-yard rushing score.

Or it might have come when he returned a safety kickoff 60 yards to the house untouched.

But Rude – and fellow backs Logan Whitman, Landen Vesley, Hunter Webb, and Garret Stringer – didn’t find the end zone singlehandedly and relatively untouched.

Newman’s 54-7 win over the Tigers, Rude said, was owed to the guys up front.

“I couldn’t do anything without our line,” Rude said. “This was a good refresher for us, coming off a loss. We look at the next game and we know the next one is the biggest one. ...

“But I can’t reiterate enough about our offensive line.”

Following last week’s loss to undefeated

Princeton, Newman coach Mike Papoccia said he was pleased with the overall intensity his now 6-1 Comets showed. He called the win another “total team effort.”

The game also was a showcase of impressive scrimmage play to Papoccia. It’s a group, he said, that’s showing steady improvements week to week – and he singled out tackles Zach Brauman, James Phelps and Kalen Smith as major factors.

“They have strengthened our offensive line every week,” he said, adding that the Princeton loss wasn’t due to poor blocking.

“We’ve got three junior tackles that we cycle through. Every one of them has been making an impact.”

The blowout allowed him to use reserves for most of the game and exclusively in the second half. The defense forced Sherrard (0-7) into seven punt attempts.

Defensive lineman Victor Francque found himself with a rare end zone opportunity, sacking the punter on one of them for a safety that set up Rude’s kickoff return score.

Stringer’s second carry of the season resulted in a 22-yard touchdown sweep.

The Comets wrap up the season with road trips to Hall next week and St. Bede on Oct. 23.

But the two had to travel more than 4,400 miles to finally face off against each other on a field of play.

Schneider and Landau are foreign exchange students from Kleinmachnow, Germany, a town of 30,000 people just south of Berlin. Schneider is spending the year at AFC High School, while Landau is at River Ridge High School.

And on Friday night, the two Germans met on an Illinois football field to take part in the coin toss for an American football game.

COMMENTARY: STATE RANKINGS

What rankings really mean?

“We know the only rankings that matter are the ones after Thanksgiving.” • Hall senior captain Jake Merkel

S

tate rankings mean different things to different folks.

For Princeton fans, whose Tigers are ranked for the first time in 12 years, now at No. 4 in 3A, it means everything. The town is simply abuzz.

In places like Sterling Newman, where state rankings, in particular No. 1s, are as common as the St. Louis Cardinals playing in October, it’s tradition.

Newman coach Mike Papoccia said he addresses the rankings once with his team at the start of each season and that’s the last time they talk about it.

“I say, ‘Guys this is just some people saying we have a really good program going and it’s supposed to happen every year, and it doesn’t happen by just wishing.

It happens by doing,’” he said. “It’s just another cross to bear trying to live up to it.

“I don’t even know what we’re ranked now, if we’re ranked at all. If we’re No. 1 at end of the year, I’d be happy.”

The Princeton Tigers were ranked No. 9 in 3A when they upset No. 1 Sterling Newman Oct. 2. The Tigers moved up to No. 4 with the Comets slipping to No. 6. Area coaches say the only rankings that matter are the one at the end of the season.

Hall coach Randy Tieman, whose Red Devils moved up one spot to No. 5 in 2A this week, like most coaches, does not put much weight into the rankings.

“They are more for the

fans. It’s always nice for your program to get recognized, but that’s about it. We don’t talk about it as a team,” said Tieman, his Red Devils previously ranked No. 2.

Hall senior captain Jake Merkel said while it’s nice to be recognized, “we know the rankings don’t mean anything in the season. The only time they matter is after

Thanksgiving.”

St. Bede coach Jim Eustice, whose Bruins received one vote in 3A, said, “Honestly, (I) put zero weight (in them). If that week’s opponent is, then it’s a whole different story. “(We) can use as motivation if the opponent is ranked,” he said.

That ploy certainly hasn’t hurt Princeton.

It’s already helped them knock off then No. 2 Hall and then No. 1 Newman this season.

And now with their No. 4 ranking and climbing, the target has been placed directly on the backs of the Tigers.

Princeton coach Jesse

Snyder continues to stress to his squad to stay the course, no matter what ranking may come their way.

“The rankings are exciting, but not something we are focused on. Our focus is on continued improvement from one week to the next,” he said. “We want to focus on one opponent at a time. The only thing that matters is our preparation and work ethic throughout the week to be successful.”

Having so many league members, six of the 14 teams (three in the top 5) receiving votes speaks volumes for the Three Rivers, Tieman said.

“The TRAC is always a grind and always seem to have multiple teams ranked. It is one of the top small school conferences in the state,” he said.

Eustice said the Three Rivers is one of toughest conferences in the state regardless of what the polls may say.

“It means we have some really good programs,” Papoccia said.

PRINCETON 21, ST. BEDE 7

Seventh heaven

Homecoming win nets first 7-0 start in school history for PHS

BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — No team from Princeton High School since football was first played at the state’s oldest township school had ever started off a season 7-0. Until now.

The 2015 Princeton Tigers marched to that elusive streak with a convincing 21-7 win over St. Bede in Three Rivers Mississippi Conference play in front of a large Homecoming crowd Friday night at Bryant Field.

The Bruins scored first, but the Tigers answered with 21 straight points on three touchdowns by Jacob “Bubba” Smith and put themselves in the record books.

“Everybody’s here on Homecoming, first team to go 7-0. To do it with these guys and coaches, it’s just awesome,” Smith said.

“It means everything in the world to me. We’re all grateful to be a part of this team and none of us would change it for the world.

It’s the greatest thing to happen to me,” PHS senior lineman Chaz Williams said.

The game didn’t quite start out how the Tigers would have scripted. The Bruins mounted a 16-play, 72-yard drive on their first possession with Baylee

Hopps scoring on a 3-yard run.

That proved to be a wake-up call for the Tigers defense, which had allowed just 5.5 ppg coming in.

PHS was stopped at the goal line on an interception by Josh Sapp.

PHS’ Jett Wedekind returned the favor with a pick of his own to set the Tigers up at the Bruins 24. Two plays later, Smith cashed in a 17-yard score and Tanner Kuhne’s PAT tied the game at 7.

“We needed to answer as soon as we could, keep the momentum in check and really keep our guys in focus and ready to go,” Smith said.

Smith added a 5-yard TD reception from Jacob Reinhardt with 1:15 before half to make it 14-7.

Smith proved to be king on homecoming with a 46-yard TD romp in the third quarter.

“Once I got past the first line, BCR photo/Mike Vaughn there was nobody there,” Smith said. “There was great blocking Princeton senior Jacob Smith busts a long Tiger gainer on Homecoming night at Bryant Field. up front all night. I was just trying to make sure nobody caught The Red Zone up. I was able to run fast enough, I guess.”

We’re all grateful to be a part than I would have liked to, we got of this team and none of us would change it for the world.

Smith Snyder said.

FULTON 40, BUREAU VALLEY 20

Steamers get physical Steamers derail Storm’s push for playoffs

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley Storm’s roller-coaster season continued against Fulton as the Steamers came into town and handed the Storm a 40-20 loss Friday night in Manlius.

Big and flashy plays were few and far between for both teams on the night as the Steamer offense opted to pound the ball with success into heart of the BV defense and controlled the ground game from the onset of the night.

“I don’t know why we came out slow because this is a huge game for us but for whatever reason we just came out slow,” BV coach Spencer Davis said. “We’ve had problems with big and physical teams all year long and they are both big and physical up front. That’s just it they just pounded the ball down the field,” After going down 21-0 on a twoyard dive by Steamer senior Trey Simmons with 4:00 to play in the first half, the Storm answered just 99 seconds later. Sophomore quarterback Drake Davis found Konneck streaking through the Steamers defense for a 56-yard connection and the game’s longest play to cut into the Fulton lead 21-6.

Fulton wasted no time in answering as senior Michael Pidde pound-

ed his second touchdown of the night in from six yards out with only 19.7 to go in the half.

The Storm came out strong in the second half, matching the Steamers’ offensive production step-forstep, but the first half hole they had dug themselves into was already too deep as they came up short 40-20.

The Storm came into the night trying to make a push for playoff contention and attempted to ride momentum they built on last week’s record-setting performance from senior running back Will Konneck. He racked up 462 yards on the ground and etched his name into the IHSA record books with the sixth best rushing performance in state history.

On Friday, Konneck broke the 100yard mark with 125 yards on 14 touches but the Steamer defense keyed on the talented back the entire game.

BV’s Caje Peterson has come on strong within the last three weeks and was flying around the field on defense, recording 16 tackles and a fumble recovery. He also added a 5-yard rushing touchdown for good measure late in the fourth.

“For the second or third game in a row, he’s just picked it up another notch. On defense he’s all over and that what we need. The kid just has a drive and doesn’t stop,” Davis said.

’Stangs get the upset

Trojans solve Rockets’ defensive tricks in win

Tate Renkes scored on a 3-yard run in overtime to lift Morrison to a 20-17 upset of Orion in a Three Rivers Rock contest Friday night at Bud Cole Field in Morrison.

The Chargers (6-1, 4-1) had taken a 17-14 lead on a 22-yard field goal by Ryan Fowler to open the overtime period.

Josh Ellison accountJarrett ed for both Orion Ruchotzke Morrison scores in regulation time, on a 14-yard run junior in the first quarter, and a 5-yard run in the second period. The Chargers amassed 278 rushing yards on 52 carries, and outgained the Mustangs 335-217 overall.

Morrison (2-5, 2-2) got a 4-yard touchdown run from Jarrett Ruchotzke in the first quarter, and a 3-yard scoring pass from Dylan Keller to Justin Jensen in the third period. Jensen’s 2-point conversion run tied the score at 14 with 2 minutes, 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

MENDOTA – Rock Falls threw every defensive look it could think of at Mendota on Friday night, but nothing worked in another lopsided loss for the Rockets.

This time, the defeat – a 57-7 thrashing – came at the hands of the Trojans, who entered the game winless and most likely represented Rock Falls’ best remaining chance at a victory this season.

Instead, head coach Rich Montgomery was left searching for answers.

“I don’t know. I just don’t know. I didn’t even speak to the team after the game, because I don’t know what to say,” Montgomery said. “We tried five-man fronts, sevenman fronts. I don’t know.

Maybe [Week 8 opponent] Dixon will let us play with more players on the field.”

Mendota used methodical drives to take a 14-0 lead after the first quarter, scoring on an 11-play, 52-yard drive to start the game, and on a seven-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a

touchdown on the final play of the opening frame.

For its part, Rock Falls (0-7, 0-5 Big Northern West) moved the ball well early, but the ball control demonstrated by the Trojans (1-6, 1-4) kept the ball out of the hands of the Rockets, who had just one possession in the first quarter. That possession sputtered out at midfield, but on its next possession, Rock Falls had its best play of the game – a pictureperfect deep pass by Logan Pillars to Michael Berentes for a 33-yard score to cut the deficit to 14-7.

But the fun didn’t last. Mendota answered with a long TD pass of its own three plays later, and the rout was on.

Pillars had 149 passing yards in the first half, but turnovers on two of their first three possessions in the second half prevented the Rockets from staying competitive in the third quarter.

Rock Falls turned the ball over a total of five times in the second half.

Senior running back Braeden Westfall had 60 yards on 21 carries.
