Escaped prisoner captured in Oregon

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— The escaped prisoner, last seen at the westbound Great Sauk Trail rest area off Interstate 80 near Princeton, was located and apprehended in Oregon on Monday, Oct. 12.

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) special agents announced they had captured maximum-security inmate Joshua Drinnon.

According to a press release issued by CDCR, Drinnon was found at a local resource center for the homeless and people in need in Ashland, Ore. He was arrested without incident. The Ashland Police Department was notified and provided transportation to a local detention facility pending extradition.

Drinnon, 36, had escaped approximately 40 days ago from a private inmate transportation service that had stopped at

the rest area on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Drinnon was being transported back to prison in San Diego, Calif., following a court appearance in Tennessee. While at the rest area, he was able to get out of his restraints and elude the transporting officers, scaling a fence and running into a cornfield.

Following the incident, more than 100 local police personnel spearheaded a search for Drinnon.

As previously reported,

Illinois State Police committed patrol troopers, air operations and investigators. Bureau County Sheriff’s Office and Princeton Police Department also used K9 units and tactical teams in the search.

The active search was suspended two days later on Friday, Sept. 4, with no new leads in the investigation.

The CDCR Office of Correctional Safety and the U.S. Marshals Service then formed a task force to track down Drinnon. The

investigation led special agents to Ashland, Ore., to the site Drinnon was located.

“We can credit the diligence of our agents and out partnership with the U.S. Marshals Service for locating a dangerous offender and taking him off the streets,” CDCR Office of Correctional Safety Chief Derrick Marion said.

According to Terry Thornton, CDCR Deputy

Who should 911 call for help?

New legislation will decrease funding

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — New 911 legislation announced July 1, is going to impact how 911 systems around the state are funded and governed.

Changes coming down the road with the new legislation will decrease funding to BuEComm (Bureau Emergency Communication), which has continued to face financial loss every year since 2008.

Diana Stiles, BuEComm director, spoke to the Bureau County Board Tuesday, Oct. 13, about the current legislation and called on county board members to form a committee that will work with the Bureau County ETSB (Emergency Telephone System Board) to find a solution to keep E-911 services afloat in Bureau County.

The new legislation, which goes into effect Jan. 1, will create a statewide 911 advisory board and a statewide 911 administrator who will be governed under the Illinois State Police. Stiles said a new 911 administrator will be in place Jan. 1, to develop, implement and oversee a uniform statewide 911 system.

The legislation will create a uniform surcharge rate across the state and calls for creation of 911 systems where they do not exist. It also calls for consolidation of covered 911 systems by July 1, 2017.

Tiskilwa digs deep on tree-planting program Board considers Main Street building renovation

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA — A tree planting program in Tiskilwa was met with mixed reactions Tuesday night at the Tiskilwa Village Board meeting.

Trustee Dan Acker wants to plant trees in village right-of-ways around the town, but was told by other board members to give them more specifics about possible locations and other criteria for planting trees.

Other board members felt there aren’t

many spaces available for trees to be planted in town since there is a potential conflict with overhead power lines and underground infrastructure like gas and sewer lines.

Acker wants to establish a tree board to provide oversight for this program that will be funded through village monies starting next spring.

Acker was instructed to come back with more criteria at a future meeting before the tree planting program will be approved by the village board.

In other business, Acker also asked what

needs to be done to renovate a village-owned building on Main Street into offices for the board president, village clerk and village treasurer. The building is currently used by the police department to park the squad car with a small office for officers to do any reports.

Acker felt the building may be used for village board meetings and wants to improve the facade, making it a bright spot on Main Street. He feels monies in the high school building fund could be used to pay for this project.

Sen. Weaver promises substance over platitudes Jobs, infrastructure, fiscal responsibility and education will be focal points

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — On Oct. 8, new state Sen. Chuck Weaver took his oath of office and began serving the residents of Illinois’ 37th Senate District. Weaver, a Republican, was appointed to replace former Sen. Darin LaHood, who was recently elected to serve as the U.S. Representative for the 18th Congressional District of Illinois to fill the vacancy created by former Congressman Aaron Schock’s resignation.

On Monday, Oct. 12, as LaHood and Weaver were traveling through the district together to meet with area constituents, they stopped in Princeton.

LaHood gave his thanks to the district, and Weaver shared thoughts on how to brighten the state’s future.

“I was honored to represent the 37th Senate district for the last four and a half years. Bureau County has been an important part of that and I’ve enjoyed having my office here in Princeton and working with the citizens of Bureau County. I’m very proud to have Chuck taking my place, I think he brings a unique skill set to

County From Page 1 “The financial impacts of this new legislation will change the way we receive our 911 monies,” Stiles said.

Right now, BuEComm gets a $1.95 for every landline, which is set by a county referendum; and 54 cents for every wireless line, which is a state mandate.

Beginning Jan. 1, all surcharges are to be a uniform 87 cents for both landlines and wireless lines.

Instead of Bureau County surcharge monies going to BuEComm, they will be put into one big pot at the state and will be distributed by state police. Stiles confirmed this change will decrease the surcharge monies received by Bureau County.

this job as a businessman, as somebody who’s served in public office on the Peoria City Council, who knows how to create jobs and knows what fiscal responsibility means. We need those skills more than ever in Springfield. I’m happy to be with him today as we try to make a smooth transition from myself to Chuck.

I think he’ll do a great job,” said LaHood.

Weaver is a lifelong Peoria resident and has entered his new office with an extensive background in the restaurant business, as well as other businesses, and has additional experience with city government and many community service and philanthropic projects.

“I’m a farm kid, I still live on the farm I grew up on. That’s a unique thing I bring to the district, a farm background, plus I served on the city council and have an understanding of a lot of different businesses. I think those are important skills to bring to Springfield as we talk about how we’re going to grow jobs,” said Weaver.

He is a fiscal conservative who was aggressively against overspending during his time on the Peo-

ria City Council. He was also instrumental in the creation of budget projections in order to help the council better understand and control its financial situation. Weaver plans on bringing that same focus to his time in Springfield.

“I’ve done 135 face-toface visits in the nine-county area outside of Peoria and keep notes of what I’ve heard are the biggest issues.

The budget impasse, we all want to get that behind us. The second issue is job growth and job creation.

There are two places I want to focus on that; one is, with regard to short term, ‘How do we get people work with regard to a good infrastructure built?’ Roads and bridges are important to these farmers, we hear that a lot.

The second issue is ‘How do we continue to develop our workforce, starting with the education of our children?’” said Weaver.

Weaver said one thing which will help make Illinois more attractive to new businesses is to change workman’s compensation laws in order to make them more protective of businesses’ interests.

Weaver also said he

understands the importance of jobs.

“Jobs, every time we talk you’re going to be talking about jobs. That’s what’s going to solve our problems in our state and in our country,” he said.

When asked about the minimum wage increase question, which was supported by 63 percent of Illinois voters on the 2014 ballot, Weaver answered, “I won’t be supportive of a minimum wage increase. It may feel good for the short term, but it continues to make our state less competitive.”

LaHood then shared his thoughts on a minimum wage increase.

“I was in the state legislature when minimum wage came up and I did not support it. I think the time to think about raising it is when the economy is booming. If we had an $8 billion dollar in the state and 3 percent unemployment, I think that’s when you think about it,” said LaHood.

Weaver recommended working toward finding ways to give people more skills in order to get them out of minimum wage jobs.

“I took great pride in how I took people from minimum wage to manager wages in my restaurants and I continue to believe in that philosophy. People have to add skill sets to get up off that minimum wage,” said Weaver.

Weaver will be concentrating on reducing spending while in Springfield.

When asked if he thought there were any sources of revenue which have been overlooked and would help balance the budget, he replied, “I won’t be a person looking for new revenue. If you look at my record with the Peoria City Council it was about finding the fat and cutting it.

It was about being wise on how to make decisions how we spend our money.

I watched a Depression era father on how he grew his business. It’s about watching every nickel and being very wise and holding people accountable that we’re all doing a good job and earning our money.”

The last issue which Weaver was questioned about was the heroin epidemic which is haunting much of the Midwest, including many rural areas.

“I”m going to wait and learn a little bit more before I’m ready to tackle the heroin problem. I will tell you this, I was a ‘No’ vote on medical marijuana in our community. I think what we have to look at is that we have 50 labs, called states, around the country. We do not need to be, in the marijuana situation specifically, on the cutting edge of trying to figure out where the right place to go with that is. You stand back, you wait, you watch what other states do,” said Weaver.

“The plan is this will equally disperse funds to create a balanced picture of 911 centers across the state and it will consolidate redundant services to minimize costs,” Stiles said.

As far as consolidating covered 911 systems, Stiles said the only change required in Bureau County under this part of the new legislation will be Bureau County Sheriff’s Department, Spring Valley Police and Princeton Police will have to move their dispatching services into BuEComm. Stiles said they can choose to stay on their own, but would have to pay for services themselves.

“While it would help the financial situation to get all dispatching under the same facility, the overall picture would be that we would have to hire additional staff for servicing

these entities. That again, would be a financial piece we can’t afford,” she said.

Stiles said the ETSB board has looked into a couple different consolidation options to help BuEComm stay financially sound, but has not found one that seems to fit the direction board members feel satisfied with choosing.

Bureau County did join in on the Illinois Valley Regional 911 Planning Committee, along with the cities of Peru, LaSalle, Oglesby and Mendota.

However, Stiles said planning has hit a wall.

“The grant to build that facility has not come through due to state budget issues and there is no time frame or information when that would be awarded,” she said.

Plus, with the new legislation hanging in the air,

consolidating with another county introduces new financial concerns.

If Bureau County was to consolidate with LaSalle County, its current ETSB board would have to cease to exist as it would be forced to consolidate along with LaSalle County’s nine ETSB boards under the new legislation. From there, all Bureau County 911 monies and fees would go to LaSalle County.

“For me, I have a little bit of a problem with that,” Stiles said. “Right now, legislation to establish makeup of that ETSB board is very vague. ... I fear we won’t have a spot on that board. My concern is who is going to make the decisions on spending our Bureau County funds? …

Would we be fairly represented?

“It’s a big risk for Bureau County to give roughly

$400,000 a year with no guarantee on how it’s going to be spent.”

Another consolidation idea the ETSB board has looked into is contracting services with another agency who would be willing to take on Bureau County’s 911 services.

The county would still have to pay for services through the agency and any radio or communication issues that may arise. Stiles said she has talked with Lee County about this option, and has estimated it would cost about $250,000 a year to give Bureau County’s services and dispatching to them.

“But again, the problem is going to be, we’re going to write them a check for our services with the expectation that they will take care of everything that happens in Bureau County,” she said, adding they

run the risk of signing an agreement with an agency and not being satisfied with services.

“I think making a move for Bureau County outside of Bureau County is very risky,” Stiles said. “I’d rather find a way now to fund the cost of running 911 at BuEComm today without depleting our reserves and then work together for the future of 911 call taking and dispatching under one roof, keeping our services and funding in Bureau County and retaining control over our public safety services in Bureau County.”

Bureau County Board Chairman Dale Anderson plans to appoint members of the board to form a committee that will work with ETSB board members to help find a better solution for BuEComm.

Water issues and tree trimming on Wyanet’s agenda

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

WYANET — At the Tuesday, Oct. 13, meeting of the Wyanet Village Board, water in residents’ basements leaked into the discussion.

During the past heavy rainfall, several residents complained of water in their basements. Engineer Jack Kusek reminds residents that many of the water problems are due to residents dumping water illegally into the sanitary sewer. No sump pumps or rain water should be draining into these sanitary sewer lines.

In other business, Mike Underwood addressed the board concerning his mother’s tree.

On Sept. 10, village employees trimmed a tree at his mother’s house at the corner of Second and Walnut streets. His mother wasn’t notified they would be trimming branches, plus he believes the branches were cut way too far back.

Underwood and his mother requested a restitution of $500 for the destruction of her tree. Board members will look at the tree and make a decision.

Village President Bruce Hand said, “I apologize for the damage. We will change our policy, and it will not happen again.” Village employees will now be required to contact the homeowner before cutting trees.

Trustees Dave Bickett and Cory Peterson have been reviewing the village’s insurance policy that covers properties and contents. They are con-

cerned the list is not up to date, and certain buildings are over insured. The village is also paying for insurance on several vehicles the village currently doesn’t own. The committee will also be looking into options for employee health insurance as well.

Hand received a letter from a resident requesting the village open the recycling center again. The board discussed the pros and cons, but the board decided at this time it is not feasible.

Trick or treat hours were set from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.

In other business: • Police Chief Todd Marquez gave his monthly activity report. Several people will be completing community service hours during the next month.

The board suggested the workers are utilized to clean up the parks.

• Village Clerk Shelley Teske gave the village maintenance report. This month the village workers flushed the fire hydrants and installed a new water service on First Street. They will be replacing two fire hydrants next week.

• Nov. 2 will be cemetery clean up.

All items need to be removed by sunset on Nov. 1.

• The after hours deposit box has been moved to a pole in front of the Village Hall.

• Trustee Joe Law updated the board on the progress of the concession stand at the baseball field.

The next board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at Village Hall.

Commitment to the city SV City Council honors officers, moves forward with pre-winter plans

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — With colder weather steadily approaching, Spring Valley City Council members were happy to receive positive news on the progress of city projects on Monday, Oct. 12.

Mayor Walt Marini met with Scott Sullivan, who still has plans on building a supermarket in Spring Valley, but likely not until July 2016. Marini said Sullivan was stood up by a contractor on another site and left with a substantial bill, and those circumstances have prolonged the start of the Spring Valley project.

Marini also congratulated Christine Eimer, owner of Amia Boutique, for being selected as a recipient of the Forty Under 40 Award, which is handed out by the small business development center.

City Engineer Larry Good said the West Interceptor Sewer Roadway has been completed, and the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) project pre-construction conference was held Friday, Oct. 2. The contractor is on site getting set up at the WWTP, Good said, and

demolition will be underway next week.

Well Water Solutions contractors tentatively expect to be on site Wednesday, Oct. 14, to repair a rattle in the well head of Well No. 11, and Good indicated water storage tanks will be full before Well No. 11 is taken out of commission for one day for repair.

Work on Well No. 10 continues, with debris being bailed out of the well as workers prepare for the installment of pumping equipment.

Jeff Norton, superintendent of public works, said the fall leaf program will start Monday, Oct. 19, and run through Thanksgiving, or the first snow. Residents should place their leaves on the edge of the road by 7 a.m. the day of pickup. If the leaves are not out by 7 a.m. sharp, Norton said they will be gathered the following week, and he advised residents not to mow or blow their leaves into the street, as it makes a mess and violates city ordinance.

Two Spring Valley Police officers received promotions during the council meeting. William

Sommer was promoted to lieutenant but was unable to attend due to family emergency. Adam Curran, with family gathered at his side, was promoted to sergeant.

Police Chief Kevin Sangston said Curran, who has been loyal to the Spring Valley force for almost a decade, is currently a field training officer, a department crime scene technician and a part-time investigator.

“Adam Curran has served this department and community with extreme dedication and commitment, and we look to him to be one of our leaders of the future,” Sangston said.

Outdoor dining was discussed at the legislative meeting Wednesday, Sept. 30, and it was decided outdoor dining could take place April 1 to Oct. 31. An ordinance was approved dealing with additional requirements for outdoor dining that can be resorted to in handling future requests.

The council agreed to give $500 to St. Margaret’s Emergency Room renovation.

Nearing the finish line on sale of Crundwell assets Government expects to meet $10 million goal by year’s end

By Brenden West Shaw Media

DIXON – The wait is over.

The last belongings of Rita Crundwell will be auctioned online from Oct. 20 to Nov. 3. Items can be viewed at txauction.com early next week.

They include memorabilia autographed by NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, a Childeric English saddle (worth almost $4,000 new), Harley Davidson apparel, pairs of cowboy boots, western hats, an ATV and mopeds.

This will be the first of two auctions the U.S. government will hold following its summer-long seizure of Crundwell’s remaining assets.

The date of the second auction has not been announced. It will sell off her horse show belt buckles and household items.

Jason Wojdylo, chief inspector of the U.S. Marshals Service’s division of asset forfeiture, said the auction represents a conclusion of sorts.

Since Crundwell’s arrest April 17, 2012, “We’ve been on the hunt for her assets ... It is fair to say that we are getting toward the end of resolving the assets that are known.

“I think, by the end of the calendar year, we will have crossed that finish line.”

For two decades, Crundwell stole $53.7 million through her position as Dixon comptroller. She pleaded guilty to wire fraud in November 2012 and is serving a 19-year prison sentence.

In addition to paying back what she stole, Crundwell was ordered to pay another $53.7 million in restitution. Proceeds from asset sales go to the city.

Wojdylo said the government’s goal of recouping $10 million for the city should be surpassed by the end of the year. Previous auctions and seized amounts have netted $9.5 million, he said.

“Not only have we achieved that objective, but we’ve also stripped Rita Crundwell of all the assets she had through all of her ill-gotten gains,” he said.

Assists from agencies like the city of Rockford and the National Guard on transportation and storage of smaller items have helped keep the government’s costs down.

“Without them we would have incurred a lot more

costs,” he said.

Outside of the auction, the government officially received court approval to obtain title to Crundwell’s horse breeder royalties of the American Quarter Horse, Paint Horse and National Snaffle Bit associations. As of September, the horses she bred through breeder trusts had accrued $68,000.

Remaining Crundwell items to be auctioned off Oct. 20-Nov. 3 DIXON – Rita Crundwell’s last belongings will soon go to the highest bidder.

An online auction of Crundwell’s assets will be held from Oct. 20 to Nov. 3, the U.S. Marshals Service announced.

The items come from a summer-long seizure of the former Dixon comptroller’s remaining assets. Up for auction are her Terry Bradshaw football memorabilia, a Childeric English saddle, Harley Davidson apparel, cowboy boots and hats, an ATV and mopeds.

Items for sale will be viewable early next on TXAuction.com. This will be the first of two auctions, with the second taking place “before the end of the calendar year,” Marshals Service Chief Inspector Jason Wojdylo said. The second auction will include Crundwell’s belt buckle collection and household goods.

Wojdylo said the government decided against having a live auction out of concern that poor weather might reduce attendance.

Bidders must register for this month’s auction at the site. Registration requires credit card information, phone numbers and a shipping address. Wojdylo said some items might have a refundable deposit requirement.

Closing times on items will vary. There will be a “dynamic close” – a high bid placed in the last five minutes extends the closing time on an item.

Winning bidders will be responsible for retrieving their winnings. Most of the Crundwell assets are being stored in Texas, Wojdylo said.

Go to TXAuction.com for more information. A link to the Crundwell auction is on the site’s home page.

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

Veterans Day on my mind ...

Veterans Day is still a month away, but as the Bureau County Republican finishes up this year’s annual Veterans Day tab, the day of recognition is on my mind.

As a reporter in the area, I quickly learned the significance of this day from having to cover the county’s veterans’ ceremonies over the years.

These ceremonies have always had an impact on me. People of all ages, from all walks of life, come out to pay their respects to the men and women who gave up their time and freedom to serve our country.

I’ve witnessed tears and smiles during the speeches, musical performances and moments of silence given at these programs. These facial expressions provide evidence for just how important a moment is to someone.

I think the moment I truly Goldie realized the importance of Veterans Rapp Day was during the COMMENTARY start of a program at Logan Junior High School, which I found myself covering for the first time a few years ago.

At Logan, the program kicks off with audience members standing as they cheer and clap at the local veterans —men and women, young and old — who slowly file into the gymnasium.

The electric atmosphere that flowed through the room during those seconds was like nothing I had experience at any other program.

Students, teachers and some community members gave all they had in that moment to show their appreciation and pride for their local veterans.

I found myself teary-eyed in a moment where I should have been snapping photos for the newspaper. It’s a moment in reporting I will never forget, and one I like to share to fellow reporters who have not yet had the chance to cover the program.

Changing the subject a bit, on a separate year while covering an outdoor Veterans Day program, I learned a small life lesson from an elderly lady in attendance of the program. She doesn’t know it, but she taught me to never grumble about the weather on this day.

The early November day usually produces a cold, gloomy setting, which often times sets a somber tone for the events.

One year, the cold was really getting to me. The wind was blowing; there was no sun; and snow seemed to be just a cloud away. I had arrived early at the outdoor ceremony and stood shivering in the wind — wishing I would have worn a winter coat, or at the very least brought gloves to keep my fingers warm.

As I stood there grumbling to myself, I realized a small commotion going on nearby.

A middle aged woman was trying to urge her elderly mother to get out of the wind and sit in the car.

The feisty mother, however, insisted she stay in the front row of the program. She told her daughter firmly she wasn’t leaving her spot. It was obvious, this elderly woman was freezing by her shivers, but she remained in her spot until the end of the ceremony.

As I headed back to the office, I thought about her persistence to stay outside rather than watch the ceremony from her warm car, which she could have easily agreed to. A little discomfort wasn’t getting in her way to pay her respects to the veterans.

I quickly figured if this elderly woman could stay out in the cold with no complaints, then so could I. That lady does not know it, but she showed a selfless act that taught me a lesson. She quickly put my complaint of cold weather in perspective.

Today, I’m ashamed I was only thinking about myself and my own discomfort, when I should have been focused on paying my respects to our veterans, who endured way harsher conditions than what I could ever experience on any cold November day.

BCR Senior Staff Writer Goldie Rapp can be reached at grapp@bcrnews.com.

First Person Brian David Gilbert Town: Murfreesboro, Tenn., is my hometown, but I currently live in Princeton.

Family: I am single, I grew up with my mother, father and older sister. One of my grandmothers also grew up next door on the family farm and was always involved in my life.

Occupation: I am a pastor in the United Methodist Church serving at First UMC of Princeton.

What was your first job: My first job was working at a pizza joint called Mazio’s when I was 16. Before that I did work and chores around the family farm … but my parents didn’t pay me any money to do that … it was just expected for me to do the work to help the family.

What is your favorite movie: Hmm, I love older movies from the ‘50s like “The 10 Commandments.”

For a more modern flavor, I enjoy sci-fi movies, particularly “Star Wars” and am looking forward to watching the new one coming out soon.

What is your favorite book: I feel like I am supposed to say the Bible in response to this question since I’m a pastor ... but, I love the Harry Potter books and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

What is the best concert you’ve been to: Metallica, by far!

If you met a genie who granted you one wish, what would you wish for: Again, I feel like I should wish for world peace and harmony, but deep down I’d also want to make a wish for a fully functioning Enterprise D with crew.

What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done: When I was 23 and in seminary I contracted a rare bacterial blood disease that almost killed me. I spent two and one-half weeks in the intensive care unit in a

hospital. For the next three months after that I had to relearn how to walk. Trying to get around in my early 20s with a walker and deal with mobility issues and poor health was a challenge and eye opening experience. Fortunately, I’m doing very well now and don’t have many side affects. It has really, in the long run, helped me in my own ministry empathize with people that are facing the loss of mobility and freedoms in their own life as they recover from their own medical issues.

Where do you most want to travel, but have never been: I would love to one day travel to the Southern Ocean and see Antarctica.

What is one thing you’re truly passionate about: I am really passionate about opening the church to all people. I think a lot of people have encountered a dispassionate and sanitized version of Christianity that has left a sour taste in their mouths. Faith is a messy business, and I think the church needs to claim that. Religion isn’t about judging people and beating them into submission — at least it shouldn’t be. Religion should be about people coming together to try and discern what this God is trying to do in our midst and in our time.

How do we connect our individual and communal struggles with this

Jesus Christ? How do we live in such a way that the world is made a better place? And how do I, broken and messed up as I am, find healing and hope right here … right now?

These are all questions that ought to be what church is all about. For me, my passion is about helping the church be more than just a one hour service on Sunday ... helping it be a transformational agent of grace in our world.

What is your favorite area restaurant, and what do you like to order there: I’d have to say The Prime Quarter and steak of course ... but I also have to say I love a nice iced coffee and cookie from The Flour House as well.

What is something you like about your hometown: I really like how kind everyone has been since I’ve moved here. I’ve lived in Princeton for two months and everyone has been very gracious to me. So my favorite part of this town are its people.

Is there anything you would change about your hometown: I’d love to have a coffee shop that is open late. I’m a coffee fiend, and it’s hard not having a coffee shop I can sit at around 9 or 10 p.m. reading a book while enjoying a dark roast.

Budget stalemate impacts motorists Sticker check saves a ticket Vehicle registration renewal reminders won’t be mailed anymore because of state budget woes, so it’s up to motorists to keep track of when their stickers expire. Doing so helps save the state money and saves you from a ticket.

Famed pioneer aviator Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) was said to have treated his cars like his airplanes. Before leaving on a trip, he walked around the vehicle, inspected the tires, checked under the hood, and made sure all was well.

Illinois motorists won’t have to be quite so meticulous, in the wake of an announcement by the Secretary of State Jesse White’s office that it can’t

afford to mail registration renewal notices anymore because of the budget impasse.

But in the near future, drivers should at least walk around to the back of their vehicles, stoop down and read the colored sticker to find out the month and year the registration expires.

Then make a note of it, so you remember to go to the Secretary of State facility nearest you to buy a new sticker before the old one expires.

That will not only prevent you from getting pulled over by the police for an expired registration, but it will help White’s office conserve $450,000

a month in postage so it at least can keep mailing out new license plates as the budget stalemate continues.

White recently announced other financial constraints on his office; vendors such as electricity, computer, software, and armored truck companies may cease services if they don’t get paid soon.

It’s one more reminder of the dire financial straits our state is in.

When will legislators and the governor reach a budget agreement? No one knows.

But if motorists follow Lucky Lindy’s example, at least they can save themselves a ticket.

Walnut Rotary Club announces cookout proceeds will go to BVHS Chrome Books WALNUT — Mark Harkness, president of the Rotary Club of Walnut, announced proceeds from the club’s Oct. 17 cookout will go to help purchase Chrome Books for Bureau Valley High School students.

“The Bureau Valley School Board recently launched an initiative to provide a Chrome Book to each district staff member. The intention is to then provide each BVHS student with his or her own Chrome Book, essentially replacing textbooks with 21st Century technology,” Harkness said. “Members of the Walnut Rotary are committed to helping our youth by providing them with the

tools they will need to succeed in life. Our club members want to be a part of this particular effort and have agreed to donate the proceeds of our Oct. 17 cookout to the Bureau Valley School District. We want to help get the Chrome Books into the hands of our BV students as quickly as possible.”

The Walnut Rotary has a long history of helping area young people.

The club, through Rotary International and local fundraisers, has sent young men and women to numerous conferences addressing international issues and donated proceeds from previous cookouts to the BVHS

German Club and Renaissance Club.

The Rotary Club will be serving pork chop sandwiches, brats and hot dogs at the Veterans’ Memorial from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.

“Your support of Bureau Valley students and our future community leaders would be most welcome,” Harkness said. “We look forward to a big turnout on Oct. 17.”

The Rotary Club of Walnut meets six times a month at the Walnut Café. For more information on how to become a member of Rotary, contact Mark Harkness at 815-379-3062 or at Mark.harkness@gmail.com.

ciation, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Yearly mammograms are encouraged for women beginning at age 40 and continuing for as long as the woman is in good health.

Clinical breast exams are recommended about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, and every year for women 40 and older. Breast self-exams should begin when women reach the age of 20.

PMH offers patients digital mammog-

raphy. Digital mammography allows the hospital to provide its patients with the highest quality of care in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. This latest diagnostic technology allows the radiologist to view the image more closely zeroing in on suspicious or concerning areas, enabling them to make immediate decisions about additional images. The radiologist can magnify the images, increase or decrease the contrast and invert the black and white values while reading the images.

For more information, or to schedule a mammogram, call 815-876-2291.

Tigers get Frank Soph Frank saves the day at regionals

By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com

MOLINE — Going into the regional semifinal matchup Tuesday, Oct. 13, against the host Rock Island Alleman Pioneers, the Princeton Tigers knew they had to make big plays if they wanted to come away with a victory and a spot in the Alleman regional championship.

Big plays were made all around by the Tigers defense, but none were bigger than a play made by sophomore midfielder Ryan Frank

that instantly sent the Tigers and fans into a frenzy and propelled Princeton to a 2-0 victory.

In the 37th minute of a match mainly controlled by Alleman, PHS goal keeper Isaac Salazar was forced to play a ball toward the top of the penalty area as the Pioneers found an opening down the right side of the pitch.

Junior forward Tony Anderson beat Salazar and appeared to score the game’s first goal until sophomore defender Ryan Frank came charging in out of nowhere to make

BV senior Savannah Dean tries to push a hit past Hall sisters Cassidy and Caitlyn Jablonski Tuesday at the Storm Cellar.

MANLIUS —The Hall Lady Devils had some digging to do, but they came away with some Three Rivers Conference treasure at the Storm Cellar Tuesday, Oct. 13.

The Lady Devils went into extended play to capture the first set 27-25 against the host Storm on Senior Night at Bureau Valley.

In the second set, Hall trailed 15-9 before outscoring the Storm 9-1 down the stretch for a 25-19

victory.

“It’s a nice feeling. It’s homecoming week, so there’s a lot going on. Just trying to keep the girls focused on volleyball for a few days here. It can be challenging. We’re happy with the win and we’ll move on,” Hall coach Bernadette Savitch said.

Sam Stocking’s tip gave the Storm a 14-8 lead on the way to a 15-9 edge in the second set.

Then, Hall started its comeback, using a 7-1 run to tie the set

Volleyball Page 13

SPRING VALLEY — Two state-ranked teams, two programs with seven state championships between them and three other title game appearances. Throw in Homecoming week at Hall High School and it won’t get much better than that for the football fans at Nesti Stadium Friday Night.

The Hall Red Devils (6-1), who have climbed two spots to No. 3 Class 2A, welcome the No. 6 ranked Sterling Newman Comets (6-1) in a Three Rivers Mississippi showdown. It promises to be one of the best games under the Friday Night Lights in northern Illinois and around the state.

“This is a big week. They are a very good team and it should be a good game,” Hall senior captain Jake Merkel said.

“It should be a playoff atmosphere and a great game to watch,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said.

Simply put, longtime Newman coach Mike Papoccia, said, “It’s going to be a Jim Dandy for sure.”

Both teams also hold out hope for a conference championship in the Three Rivers Mississippi, but will need some help.

They both lost to undefeated Princeton, which faces a conference showdown with Erie/Prophetstown Friday. As it stands now, the TRAC-Misssippi crown

Tigers drop one spot, Hall gains one in AP polls Despite winning its Week 7 game convincingly over St. Bede (21-7) to remain undefeated, Princeton (7-0) fell one spot in this week’s AP 3A football poll. The Tigers dropped from No. 4 to No. 5.

Kankakee Bishop McNamara (6-1) jumped over PHS for the fourth spot. Bishop Mac received 84 points in the cast of voting by state-wide media, PHS receiving 81.

The Tigers received two first-place votes last week after knocking off No. 1 Sterling Newman, now No. 6.

Undefeated Wilmington (11) and St. Joseph-Ogden (3) snagged all of this week’s first-place votes.

Bloomington Central Catholic (6-1) remained at No. 3 with 98 points.

Erie-Prophetstown earned one vote this week, but St. Bede did not.

Hall climbed one spot in 2A from No. 4 to No. 3. It received 98 points to follow unbeaten Tuscola (139) and Downs Tri-Valley (126).

Orion fell out of the 1A rankings after an upset loss to Morrison.

is Princeton’s for the taking.

Papoccia said the Comets will be very weary of the Red Devils’ offense with the weapons they have. Chris Hammonds (868 yards, 13 TDs) heads up the ground game for the Red Devils.

Merkel has hooked up with QB Drew Pullam (1,311/5 TDs) for 35 receptions and six scores.

“They throw and run the ball really well, They put a lot of pressure on the defense,” Papoccia said.

“Defensively, they’re very aggressive, too.”

The Perfect Storm rides again at Bureau Valley Not a lot of people would have ever imagined the 2005 Bureau Valley football team would have won the state championship heading into the season.

After all, it graduated 12 players from the state runner-up team, not to mention its head coach. It lost eight starters on offense and nine more on defense, including two-way stalwarts Brad Monier,

Preston Jones, Ben Doty, Josh Coyle, Jeremy Marlowe, Eric Blackert and Spencer Yates.

But the Storm proved the cupboard was hardly bare. The Storm simply reloaded under new skipper Dave Moore, the longtime assistant coach, and won every game they played that year.

Moore, who moved to coach at Princeton from 2008-11 and remains as driver’s ed teacher, said the 2005 team lived out their motto of having unfinished business from the year before.

“Heck, those kids were hard to replace. There were a lot good kids in that class (2004 team. We did have a lot of

juniors that played on that (2004) team and had varsity experience. It was a matter of putting kids in the right spot,” Moore said.

No one was put in the right spot better than Garret Barnas.

Little Giants advance to finals

From Page 11 great bicycle kick at the line was just incredible.”

Two Tiger sophomores used that spark to gain momentum under a minute later as midfielder Nolan Frank found Schenck surging through the middle of the Pioneer defense.

Schenck kicked the ball up to himself, used a header to get the ball behind the Alleman goalie and booted the game’s decisive goal into the back of a wide open net with under a minute to go in the first half and a 1-0 Tiger lead.

“It was a great chip-through ball,” Schenck said. “I got a little bit of a lucky bounce and got it in the air where I feel comfortable. I was able to win it with my head, get it off my chest and toe poke it in.”

The Tigers took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Kai Brown on an assist by Colin Nelson in the 78th minute.

The Tigers’ defense had a knack for picking each other up throughout the night.

They made play after play during the match to pick their teammates up and snatch opportunities away from an aggressive Pioneers squad.

“I told the boys if we commit to defending as a team like that, then we can win every match, but we have to commit to it and work hard,” PHS coach David Gray said. “We were recovering and supporting each other. When one guy got beat, it always seemed like there was always another

Alleman came out quick with two solid scoring opportunities in the first two minutes of the second half, but the Tigers’ defense always found a way to thwart the Pioneer attack any time it approached the Tigers’ penalty area.

The Pioneers put themselves in plenty of opportune positions to score as they controlled the ball for most of the night. They outshot PHS 12-5, but the hustle, drive and will to lay it all on the line by the

Tigers kept the Pioneers from finding the back of the net.

Salazar recorded 10 saves in the net.

The next challenge for the Tigers (9-10-2) as they attempt to claim their fourth straight regional title comes in the form of the Somonauk Bobcats, the top-seed in the sub-sectional.

“It means a lot for us to come out here to play our first game and get our first win in regionals. We won last year and we want to continue that as long as we can,” Schenck said.

The Bobcats knocked off the Mendota Trojans 1-0 earlier in the evening to punch

their ticket to Saturday’s finals against the Tigers at 11 a.m. at the Alleman Athletic Complex in Moline.

“We’ve seen Somonauk already and they beat us 3-0, and we’re going to be motivated to prove that we didn’t give it our best effort that night,” Gray said. “I’m really proud of the boys, the way they’ve grown and developed through the year and where we are at now. This isn’t where we want to stop.

Our goal is to win a regional championship and beyond, so we’ll be disappointed if we don’t pull through.”

Pigskin Previews (Week 8) Sterling Newman (6-1, 3-1) at Hall (6-1, 31)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Nesti Stadium.

BCR insider: A match-up of two ranked teams between Hall (No. 5 in 2A) and Newman (No. 6 in 3A). The Three Rivers programs have combined for seven (Newman 5, Hall 2) state championships and three other state finals appearances. The only losses by both teams have come at the hands of Princeton (Newman 14-0; Hall 14-7). See more in Game of the Week story.

Last week: Newman beat Sherrard 54-7; Hall beat Riverdale 35-13.

Last year: Did not play.

Last meeting: Newman 49-19 (2012).

Radio: WAJK 99.3 FM.

E/P (4-3, 3-2) at Princeton (7-0, 4-0)

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

At a glance: Princeton is now ranked No. 5 in 3A, with its first-ever 7-0 start, as researched by the BCR, in the books. Every step they take from here out is a new record. After a slow start, the Tigers kicked into gear to beat St. Bede last week, riding three Jacob Smith TDs (two by rush, one by pass). E/P will be another formidable foe and PHS must be ready to answer the bell. ... Dylan Binion (1,631 yards rushing in 2014) has returned from a Week 5 injury to give the Panthers as good a threat in the backfield as any in the TRAC. Tiger coach Jesse Snyder said the Tiger have to especially defend the Panthers option game with QB Phillip Coers.”They are a very good option team that is disciplined in their assignments. They have the capability to hit big plays if we do not stay disciplined in our option responsibilities,” he said. ...

E/P received a vote in this week’s AP 3A poll once again.

They need a win this week or next to become playoff eligible for the fourth straight season. ... Princeton has reached the playoffs for the first time since 2003 and is ranked for the first time since that season. ... This is the first conference meeting between the TRAC foes with E/P switching divisions this year to the large-school (Mississippi) side.

Riverdale (0-7, 0-4) at Bureau Valley (3-4, 1-3)

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

BCR insider: Similar scenario as last year, the Storm hosting a winless Rams team Week 8 needing to win to keep its playoff hopes alive. Like last year, a win by the Storm and one next week may not be enough to get them into the playoffs. They have 25 playoff points (combined wins by opponents) with 35 being the standard for entrance.

It is only guaranteed six playoff points over the final two weeks. The Storm must rebound after last week’s loss to Fulton and hope those playoff points add up. They could certainly use more games like the one Will Konneck had in Week 6. He racked up 462 yards rushing and another 84 yards receiving with a total of 7 TDs against winless Sherrard.

The Bruins got their all-important fifth win there last year in impressive fashion and would become playoff eligible if they can do it again Friday. They will face a Chargers team reeling from a stunning 20-17 overtime loss to Morrison (2-5). Orion is locked into a first place in the TRAC with preseason favorite Rockridge, which they defeated 7-0 in Week 7.

Junior Tori Coble hit for the Hall sideout and regained the momentum for the final Lady Devils surge.

They scored five straight to go up 22-18. The Lady Devils scored the final three points to pull out the 25-19 set.

Savitch said the Lady Devils’ struggles with serving kept them from maintaining any momentum.

They had six missed serves in the first set alone and several more in the second.

“We battled up and down the whole second set. Really, the whole match, as a whole, our momentum had a lot of shifts which happens when you miss as many serves as we did,” she said.

BV coach Abbi Bosnich has refrained from using the rebuilding word for her young squad, which is coming off an undefeated reign as conference champions a year ago.

“People tell me all the time we can say we’re rebuilding. Yeah, we lost our seniors (last year), but I still have expectations for them.,” she said.

it,” he said. “They have a few good running backs led by Brady Rude he runs extremely hard and has great speed. We will have to play our assignments on defense and have a good mix on offense.”

The Comets took a 21-game regular-season win streak into the Week 6 match-up with Princ“It’s not necessarily about winning and losing, it’s about giving effort and attitude every night and coming into the gym motivated. Sometimes, that’s what we lack, motivation, but we’re getting better.”

The Storm now 2-21 are still putting things together, she said.

“We’re definitely still making adjustments and putting people in the right spots. I think we’re onto a few things,” she said. “We definitely lose our confidence quickly.

You can see that. They play really hard. I can’t take that away from them. We just can’t come back all the time.”

The biggest lead in the first set was just four points when Hall jumped to a 6-2 lead. The Storm, who never led but hung close, tied things up at 16 and again at 23 before falling 27-25.

Senior Savannah Dean led the Storm with seven points, with sophomore Cassidy Olds, a varsity newcomer, recording a team-high four kills.

Savitch, who has taken over this season as interim coach for head coach Megan Uphoff, who is on maternity leave, said the Lady Devils have definitely made progress this year, even if they didn’t play their best Tuesday.

Bureau Valley’s Heather Williams runs during the Amboy Invite Monday at Shady Oaks Golf Course.

Grady uses home course to her advantage

By Shaw Media Service sports@bcrnews.com

AMBOY — Very few runners at Monday’s Amboy Invitational have as much experience on the hilly terrain of Shady Oaks Golf Course as Clipper junior Megan Grady.

So, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to see her shoot off the line and take an early lead at one of the biggest 1A meets of the regular season.

Yet, it sort of was – at least to Grady.

“I was so glad to feel comfortable here,” Grady said. “In the past, I really haven’t been comfortable in this race. Today, I handled the hills better, and I got out ahead.

“I wanted to be with the leaders because I know how good they are, and that will get me ready for the next few weeks.”

Grady placed eighth in 18:17.9.

Winning the race was Gardner-South Wilmington’s Daly Galloway in 17:03.0. She was 12 seconds ahead of PORTA’s Adrienne Brauer.

“It’s amazing to see a runner like Daly, and what she’s able to do on a course like this,” Grady said. “We get to practice on it quite a few times every year, but that’s not the same. You can’t simulate what it’s like when the gun goes off for a big meet like this.”

Bureau Valley was 19th with 487 points. The Storm’s top runners were Heather Williams in 82nd in 21:11.5 and Nateleigh Nugent (92nd), who ran a career best time of 21:26.

Brianna Legner finished 51st (20:28) and Lauren

McMillan 56th (20:38) for Princeton, which finished 16th (407).

PORTA repeated as champions with 77 points, ahead of Aurora Central Catholic at 92.

• Amboy/LaMoille’s Romeo Blackburn was the top area finisher in the boys race, placing 10th in 15:26.5.

“I just set my pace, and felt like if I kept that, I would be able to move up in the field. That’s what happened,” said Blackburn, who was the lone Clipper to run the varsity race. “This is a really good way to see where I am at compared to some of the best runners, and it went pretty well.”

Bureau Valley — Yulian Osorio (76th, 17:10.9) — and Princeton — Cody Workman (107th, 17:42) each ran just one competitor in the varsity boys race.

Monticello was the team champ (105). Tanner Chada of Aurora Christian was the race winner in 14:35 for 2.9 miles.

• The Storm placed fourth as a team in the F/S race behind strong medal performances by Morgan Strader (4th, 13:50) and Austin Catton (12th, 14:13.8).

Tom Stamberger of A/L also medaled, placing eighth (14:04.5).

The Princeton F/S placed seventh, led by Kendile Whitford (20th, 14:28) and Dillon Forbeck (45th, 15:28).

BV coach Dale Donner said the Amboy meet where 52 schools compete is used by many as a measuring stick for state.

Hieronymus From Page 11 Storm’s new play-maker at quarterback. He rushed for 1,033 yards and 19 TDs and threw for 1,502/15 more.

The Storm’s QB was surrounded by a wealth of talent with the likes of two-way starters in junior Nathan Black (FB/LB) and seniors Reid Nodine (RB/DB) and linemen Dan Braasch, Kevin Thomas Shawn Wager (G/DL) and John Roberts.

Other starters for the 2005 Storm were juniors Josh Wilkinson (RB), Ben Nolden (G), Ben Durham (DB), Jesse Willstead (LB) and seniors Michael Grieve (WR), Patrick Smith (WR), Jake Foster (LB) and Matt Morman (S).

All these players needed was a chance to perform and perform they did.

The 2005 Storm rolled through the Big Rivers Conference championship.

They opened the playoffs with wins over Paxton (45-6) and Rushville-Industry (28-14) in their own backyard. They hit the road to

defeat ROWVA (22-14) and to the deep south to tackle southern Illinois power DuQuoin (33-14).

Back in Champaign for the second straight year, the Storm brought home the first place trophy this time defeating, Tolono Unity 34-7.

They were the first state champion in any sport for Bureau Valley, which opened its doors in 1995-96, and the last in Bureau County history.

“Our kids payed with a it of heart,” said Moore, who is excited to see his old players Friday. “From our first game to our last game, you saw the team improve each week.

By the end of the year, we were very good both offensively and defensively.”

Baby Bruin: Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Happ on the arrival of their first child, James Joseph, who was born Saturday, Oct. 10, in Pittsburgh. James’ father, of course, is big-league pitcher J.A. Happ.

After a stellar stint with the Pirates since his arrival by trade, the 32-year-old lefty looms as an attractive free agent to many a team seeking a quality veteran pitcher,

PHS’ Audra Reidner chips onto the 14th hole at Spring Creek. five holes cost her in the end.

“Just one bad shot on those holes really cost her chance for a good score and a chance at state,” Bauer said.

“But in the end, she had a wonderful senior year of golf.”

St. Bede’s Aiko Mendoza shot a 98.

For PC, Lauren Bauer shot an even 100 and Olivia Holmes a 106.

Geneseo and medalist Monica Leiving (79) were champions on the day.

The Lady Leafs edged Lanark Eastland 366-367 for the sectional crown. Leiving beat Karissa Fredag of Eastland by tie-breaker on the 10th hole for medalist honors.

especially a left-hander. Perhaps, the Chicago Cubs, his childhood favorite team, will come calling.

Both father and mother (the former Morgan Cawley) were standout athletes at St. Bede.

Tip of the cap: I know many a happy Cubs fan and I tip my Cards cap to you and your team. The best team at this time certainly came out on top. Those young Cubbies can sure hit.

As a Cardinals fan, I can tell you baseball in October is fun. We’ve had our time in the sun, now this is yours. Enjoy the ride. I’ve heard from several Cubs fans who were there Tuesday, some in the park and some mingling around outside just to soak in the experience. I know they haven’t calmed down yet.

So good luck to all my friends who bleed Cubbie blue. Well, as I’m writing this, I just got one of those good-humored, shall we call them, texts from my lovely wife.

Maybe I’ll have to change my mind about that.
