Going with the flow City officials, project workers break ground on Spring Valley’s new wastewater treatment plant

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — With gold-plated shovels in hand, individuals involved in the project broke ground Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the site of the new wastewater treatment plant in Spring Valley.

The plant was designed by Chamlin & Associates Inc., Peru, and Don Bixby, engineer at Chamlin & Associates Inc., said the project schematics were awesome to cre-

ate.

“I never dreamed we’d design another wastewater treatment plant from the ground up,” Bixby said, explaining work is always needed on existing facilities, but it’s a rarity to lay the first brick. “It’s been a lot of fun working on this project.”

Bixby said the opportunity for proper evaluation has been available with the project, and he’s shown the Spring Valley area to personnel involved with the new plant, so they have a deeper understanding of the com-

munity standards and geographical expectations surrounding the plant. Focused on efficiency and structural integrity, Bixby has studied similar projects around the country as a reference for the upcoming task.

“I’m confident we’ll do a good job, as it’s always an accomplishment to see the water come out crystal clear,” Bixby said.

River City Construction LLC of East Peoria were contracted for the $11,250,000 project, and project manager Bradley Klisares said the new plant is what they specialize in.

“It’s right up our alley,” Klisares said, adding demoli-

Each student will have a Chromebook

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau Valley Board has moved forward with its technology plan to supply all high school students and teachers with Google Chromebooks this year.

During a special meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 14, the board agreed to purchase Chromebooks for all high school students. At the last regular board meeting, the board had approved the purchase of 35 Chromebooks for all high school teachers.

The district will be getting 330 students Chromebooks.

The total cost for the computers total around $68,000, and the cost to bring the high school building technology system up to par on the ability to support all the computers will be about $29,000.

While it looks to be an expensive purchase, board member Don DeWaele said this will not be a huge expense for the district, as many community businesses and organizations have stepped up to offer donations toward the technology upgrade.

DeWaele confirmed the district had collected about $40,000 in donations for the Chromebooks, and said there could be more community donations coming soon.

Board President Dr. Rick Cernovich brought up policy about the Chromebooks, which high school Principal Eric Lawson confirmed he had been given a copy of Sherrard High School’s technology policy guide, and they are using it as a guideline to work on Bureau Valley’s future

PRINCETON — The third annual Illinois Valley Living’s Women of Distinction event was held Thursday, Oct. 15, at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens in Princeton.

Attendees, mostly women, but a few men, took pleasure in an afternoon of celebration for this year’s six Women of Distinction award recip-

ients, while also getting to hear from keynote speaker Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Aside from generating enormous amounts of revenue for the state of Illinois and representing the state in several high-profile cases, Madigan is an advocate for Illinois residents, and for her service also received an honorary Women of Distinction award.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan addresses WOD crowd

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In her keynote speech at the third annual Women of Distinction event, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan spoke about how she chose public service as her life career and shared the defining moments in her life that taught her the importance of giving back and making a positive impact through community service.

“All of us, whether we realize it or haven’t thought about it, have defining moments,” she said.

Madigan shared the lessons she learned while working in U.S. Senator Paul Simon’s office during her college years. It was there she found herself surrounded by people eager to want to change the world for the good as they worked on issues before their time.

Madigan also talked about her experience as a volunteer high school teacher in an all girls Catholic school in southern Africa during Apartheid. There, she helped her students succeed through some of the toughest racial segregation times the country endured during that period.

It wasn’t until after her experience in Africa that she learned from her students that just being there with them was the most impactful part of her public service there.

“It wasn’t the subjects I taught... it was the fact that an American white woman was willing to take the time to simply be there. That showed them they had value,” she said.

Madigan also dove into the general bits about the workings of her office. As Attorney General, Madigan works the highest grossing law firm in the state. Last year, she generated $1.3 billion for the state — for every dollar the state gave her, she gave back $44.

Her office employs 725 employees, which 375 of them are lawyers. She described the workload in her office as “enormous,” adding there are about 40,000 legal matters pending at any given minute.

Her office deals mostly with consumer fraud complaints. Each year, her office receives about 200,000 calls, emails or messages from citizens around the state who have a complaint or concern. She said about 10 percent of those citizens work with her office to find a resolution.

Madigan’s office is currently investigating the student loan debt burden many college graduates are dealing with today.

She said nationwide 41 million Americans hold nearly $1.3 trillion in outstanding student loan debt. Since 2007 the total number of student loan debt has doubled, and the average amount of the individual’s debt has increased 60 percent.

As the burden has gotten heavier each year, her office has seen an increase in complaints related to higher education and student loan debt, she said.

From her investigations, she’s gotten to the bottom of issues related to highly expensive, yet poorly accredited colleges who are dedicating more revenue to marketing and advertising than teaching.

Madigan is also investigating student loan services who are not helping borrowers make their outstanding payments. She is currently leading a multi-state investigation into one of the largest student loan services in the country, who has been misapplying payments and not doing the basic job loan services these businesses are supposed to providing.

Madigan said in turn, their poor services are making borrowers lives and the economy much worse. Her office is also currently working on a resolution for this issue.

The six local women honored for their outstanding service and dedication to their communities included Linda Gustafson of Princeton, Kathy Jo Linder of LaSalle, Betty Jean Pappas of LaSalle, Sen. Sue Rezin of Morris, Denise Sabotta of LaSalle and Janice Wamhoff of Princeton.

Each woman shared a bit about themselves and the professions and volunteer work they take part in. They talked also about the passion that drives their work and the role models who inspired them.

Gustafson spoke about how her parents’ public service was a model for her volunteer work. She said they showed it was just a way of life. Through volunteering, she said she’s learned having a vision and building a team is only the beginning of accomplishing a community project. She also recognized how families and spouses are also an important part to public service as they provide the support in those trying to achieve their dreams.

Through tears, a humbled Linder also thanked her family and friends for their support in her volunteering and fundraising, which has been an important part of her life. Linder talked about the nurse she had when going through cancer,

and how she inspired her to put her own foot in the door in becoming a volunteer nurse in the cancer ward. Linder said she knew she could help people with her ability to connect with those going down the same journey she once found herself.

Pappas credited God for finding her own direction to serve people and conquer the things she once had hesitation about regarding what she could achieve. She said through becoming a nurse, it helped her fill the service to people she wanted to accomplish. Pappas talked about the path that led her to volunteering for the women and babies at the local women’s health clinic in Mendota Rezin talked about her first experience of getting to sit on the floor in the Illinois Senate and hearing the legislation being acted on during her visit. She said it was there her light bulb came on and her experience drove her to change her career to public policy. Rezin also talked about the importance of connecting with the next generation. She shared about the high school internship project her office has worked on that introduces students to local careers that could allow them to stay in the Illinois Valley and raise a family.

Sabotta, a 90-year-old women who raised 14 children of her own and one stepson, shared some of her greatest high-

lights in life, including those she experienced when growing up in England during wartime. She talked about her volunteer work with the Red Cross and the many fun journeys that motivated her to continue her volunteerism. She also shared when she met her American husband during the war and the voyage she faced when coming to American by ship.

Wamhoff, who serves as Bureau County coroner, told about her own experience with her brother’s death from a car accident and the hardship her family faced when trying to find answers to the accident. She also shared her experience of trying to be an ambulance personnel in LaMoille during a time when women didn’t do the job. It took much convincing, but eventually she became the first female ambulance personnel in LaMoille. The career led her to also becoming the first female deputy coroner of Bureau County, which she said took 10 months of convincing the county board before she was given the responsibility. Wamhoff said her job doesn’t just deal with death, but also preventing death, which she does through her work with CPASA in trying to prevent prescription pills from ending up in places they shouldn’t be, especially the hands of those who could overdose.

Making the puzzle pieces fit Freedom House/IVCC team up for domestic violence awareness

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Freedom House teamed up with Illinois Valley Community College’s theatre improv group this year for the annual domestic violence awareness program.

The group, which is under the direction of professor David Kuester, performed in Princeton on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Elks Lodge.

The production focused on the struggles and hoops many of the domestic violence victims have to jump through in order to get needed assistance once they leave an abusive relationship.

The actors targeted the agencies who provide assistance, and called out examples of the barriers women face when trying to seek help.

Following the performance, Freedom House shelter advocate Amber Killian spoke more about the

real hurdles her clients face each day. She gave real-life examples of women in the shelter who struggled with maintaining a stable life after leaving an abusive relationship.

“There are many barriers women face once they leave,” she said, adding it could be from friends or family creating mental barriers; or the police creating barriers by saying it’s his word against hers; it could be no readily transportation available to get to work; or no childcare available for a single mother trying to keep her job.

“Even shelters create barriers. Sometimes we are full.

Some shelters you still can’t bring a boy over the age of 13 into. Fortunately, Freedom House fixed that barrier,” she added.

“Community assistance has been wonderful, but sometimes we do create unknowing barriers ... My hope today is that everyone here explores who we are

as a community and how we may be unknowingly creating barriers in the continuum of care and services these women are seeking when trying to leave.”

Killian asked attendees to remember when a woman is trying to jump through the hoops, most times she’s also dealing with mental and verbal abuse for her abuser. She said statistics show a woman will go back to her abuser seven times before she is successful in leaving for good. Part of an abuser’s goal is to create an environment that will block a victim from succeeding, Killian added.

“I know we can’t change policies and procedures or societal attitudes or funding issues today, but my hope is that you bring the discussion back to your table and explore what piece of the puzzle is yours and how you can make it best fit for these families,” she said.

“It’s right up our alley,” Klisares said, adding demolition of the current facilities are slated to begin around Wednesday, Oct. 21. “Everything that is currently here will be removed, replaced by a head works building, a sludge dewatering building, an office building and a giant treatment tank.”

Klisares voiced his pride in providing for the Midwest, regardless the unpredictable natural conditions.

“We’ll take the weather and the river height as it comes, handle it as best we can and keep on track,” he said.

The project had been discussed for years, but the

flood in April 2013 deemed the new plant an obvious necessity. Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini said you can’t plan for something like the river flooding, you just have to react to it.

“This is an exciting day that has been in the works since November 2013,” Marini said, adding the project will take time and they’ll simply have to be patient if any problems arise. “This is a great thing for Spring Valley, and we’re so lucky we got the $9,500,000 grant, thanks to (Illinois Rep.) Frank Mautino.”

The project is being funded through federal and state agencies as well as the city of Spring Valley, and the projected completion date is October 2017.

policies.

Lawson said he believes students should be allowed to take the computers home. He said for students who don’t have wireless Internet at home, the computer would allow them to still work on some assignments for school offline.

The idea of rental fees was also discussed.

DeWaele said they have looked at installing a $25 rental fee that would act as an insurance policy for the computer. He said because students would be receiving the Chromebooks halfway through this year, the fee would be enforced starting next year.

Because this year’s senior class will only use the computers for about five months, Lawson said at the end of the year the school will give them the option to purchase the computer following graduation. For those who do not want to purchase their Chromebook, it will be put back in circulation and used as a rental for students who may experience

issues with their computer and need the rental while their Chromebook is being repaired.

The district plans to give the Chromebooks to graduating seniors in the future and continue to purchase new Chromebooks for incoming freshmen each year, which will help keep inventory fresh.

The board also talked about introducing the technology into the junior high and elementary schools. It’s a plan they will be looking at next. The Bureau Valley North and South principals talked about a survey they gave their teachers that showed they were willing to try out the technology but wanted more direction from the board on how they should incorporate them into the classroom. The board discussed bringing in training for the teachers.

Also, the board approved to designate a board retreat date to discuss further the facilities study sometime after Nov. 1. The board retreat will be a public meeting.

Morning commute The following is a previously published column by BCR Editor Terri Simon.

My grandfather was a farmer. By today’s standards, he was a very small farmer — only 100 acres or so and the typical livestock which many farmers owned years ago — cattle, hogs, ponies, sheep, chickens. We also had a berry patch, an orchard, a huge garden, etc., and all the out buildings farmers needed — a corn crib, barn complete with a haymow, a granary, a windmill/pump and structures for the animals to get out of the weather.

It was a family farm, and every member of the family helped to work it. Each one of us had farm chores to do every day of our lives. While we often didn’t like to do those chores, we didn’t question it either. It was just a part of being a farm family, and quite frankly, we didn’t know there were families who didn’t Terri Simon have a daily agenda of chores to do.

Likewise, as kids, we would have never ever dreamed of asking to be paid for chores; even at that young age, we knew our chores around the farm were just an element of being part of the family unit.

They were good lessons.

As an adult, I reflect on that farm with cherished memories. I learned so much — not just about farm life and animals but also about values, morals, hard work, people and love. There were plenty of opportunities to learn, and my family had an uncanny ability to turn everyday life into a lesson. I am forever grateful.

And so it was the other day when I found myself behind a farmer driving a large piece of machinery (I’m ashamed to say I don’t even know what that piece of machinery was) down the road. He was going fairly slow. No. He was going really slow, and the clock in my vehicle was telling me I was probably going to be late to work ... again. I wanted to pass this mammoth piece of equipment, but the hills between the office and I were relentless. Somewhat annoyed, I resigned myself to being late, settled back in the seat and inched along Routes 6/34 like the farmer before me was.

They say most everything happens for a reason, and that morning jaunt with the farmer before me was no exception. Before long, I found myself thinking about many memories of long ago — days from yesteryear when I spent every day attached to a farm and the operations that ensued there. They were days filled with long hours, sweaty moments, good times and not-so-great times, which brought lessons of life and death, marvels and normalcy, laughter and tears. While money was always tight and our budget was inevitably lean, it was a good life, a wholesome one, and to this day, I’m proud to have been one of those farm kids.

I found myself studying the farmer in the cab of this machinery trudging slowly along the pavement, and I couldn’t help but think of my grandfather. I remember him most in the barnyard, the fields, the corncrib, wearing a straw-brimmed hat, a pair of overalls with a couple of frayed holes in the knees, calloused hands and dirt under his nails. He was truly a man of the earth — simple, proud, unassuming — traits I usually assign to all farmers; whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. Grandpa loved the land, and as I’ve grown older, it’s one of the things I respect most about him.

Finally ... the turn signal was activated, and while there was no hope for me to get to work on time, I was a bit sad to see my morning farmer leave my path. Late or not, I needed that farmer on that day.

While he didn’t realize it, he made me slow down and remember a place in time when life was different, simple and not so hurried.

It’s harvest time in Bureau County. Be safe and watch out for our local farmers. Better yet ... appreciate them, give ‘em a wave, and if you have the opportunity to get behind them on your way to work, don’t get in such a hurry. It all happens for a reason.

Richard Widmark: A Princeton legend Classmates — Becoming Richard Widmark Column and artwork by Bartlett Lee Kassabaum Special to the BCR

Lars Louis Magnus Persson Peterson was born April 20, 1842, in Småland, Jamtland, Sweden, and migrated to the United States with his parents circa 1850. He married Fredrika Sophia Dahlberg, Feb. 4, 1869, and they had eight children, six of their own and two as foster children — Christina Sophia, July 24, 1864 (fostered in 1869), Oscar Emil, June 19, 1868 (fostered in 1869), Albert Herman in April 24, 1871, William Edward, Jan. 5, 1873, Sara Maria (Mary), Dec. 22, 1875, Elmer Joseph, May 25, 1878, Rosa Olivia, March 4, 1880, and Hilma Sophia, Oct. 9, 1883.

Albert Herman Peterson married Sophia Johnson, Feb. 26, 1896, and they had four children — Delbert Peterson born May 9, 1897, in Wyanet, Gladys Natalie (Peterson) Nelson (Morris) born Oct.17, 1899, in Wyanet, Ruth Alberta (Peterson) Seidel (Glenn) born April 26, 1906 in Bureau, and Lester Robert Peterson born March 1, 1914, in Bureau. Albert and his family lived in Wyanet, Henry in 1911, and then Bureau. Albert H. Peterson and his family arrived in Princeton by 1920.

Carl Henry Widmark, another man with Swedish roots, moved to Henry in 1923 and eventually to Princeton in 1925. Carl H. Widmark, born as Carl Odin (Odén) on Jan. 23, 1892, was fostered by a Swedish-American couple, Solomon and Carrie Widmark, after the death of his natural parents at a young age.

Solomon was from Sweden and Carrie was from Norway, and they immigrated to the United States.

Carl adopted the Widmark name as a mark of respect to his foster parents. Carl’s son, Richard, and Albert’s son, Lester, both born in 1914, would be classmates and have a friendship spanning over 50 years.

The Peterson family, like the Widmark family, lived in several towns in Illinois before finally settling in Princeton. It would be permanent for the Albert Peterson family but only a seven-year stop for Carl, wife Ethel Mae, and sons, Richard and Donald Widmark. Seven years that would bond two young men of Swedish heritage, Lester Peterson and Richard Widmark, for a lifetime.

Albert Peterson was in the hardware business for a short time and had a store at 540 S. Main in Princeton, in partnership with Charles D. Lowe. Albert and Sophia are farming on Lars property by 1914 when young Lester is born. They are living at 620 Park Ave. West which they bought in 1905. Albert’s parents, Lars and Fredrika are now living in Princeton also, having relocated from Wyanet. Lars Peterson dies on Oct. 25, 1915, and Albert inherits the farm.

It is now 1926, and the Albert Peterson family is living at 316 Park Ave. West. Albert bought this property in 1904 and was building this home while they lived at the 620 Park Ave. West residence. The Carl Widmark family, new to Princeton in 1925 has moved twice already, and in late 1926, they too are living at 521 Park Ave. West. Lester’s grandmother, Lars Peterson’s wife, Fredrika, dies Dec. 4, 1926. Richard Widmark and Lester Peterson are neighbors as is Tom Best who lives at 423 Park Ave. West. Gail Castner had lived across the street from Richard when the Widmark family

lived above the bakery they ran at 450 S. Main St. The four boys were becoming friends — geography and similar interests are the glue. They became even closer when they all attended Logan Junior High School in 1927 and 1928. The boys had their share of adolescent pranks, like most young men of that age. Lester, Richard, Tom and Gail were atop someone’s house and were bombarding the local ladies in their bonnets with water balloons one Easter Sunday in early April.

Tragedy then darkened the sky for the Peterson family on April 26, 1928, when Lester’s older brother Delbert, by 27 years, is killed in a train accident. Delbert helped Albert on the farm both before and after serving in World War I, besides working at Carlson Clothing in Princeton, and was on his way into town from the farm when the tragedy occurred. He had married Marie Page in 1920, and they had two children. She died July 24, 1991.

Lester is a freshman at Princeton High School in 1929 along with Richard Widmark, Tom Best and Gail Castner. The four young men are in many activities together during their four years in high school. Lester has a part-time job working at the Ben Franklin store at 622 S. Main during his freshman year, and Richard works at his family’s bakery, Henri’s, now at 450 S. Main. Tom Best helped his father at Best Monument Co., and Gail worked for his dad, Frank Castner, on Saturdays.

Doris Fetherston taught public speaking, English and dramatics at Princeton High School for the four years the four boys were there. She is the teacher that Richard Widmark credits with giving him the confidence to speak to an audience and feel that he was in control when doing it. She helped him find his true calling. She was popular with all four young men.

Donnabelle Fry, on the other hand, began teaching at Princeton High School during the sophomore year of Lester and his friends in 1930. She taught music, English, and psychology. It was a baptism under fire for Miss Fry. Her first year at Princeton could have been it for her as she had to weather that time putting up with the antics of the four, especially Richard Widmark, who she did not like. She survived and was a good teacher, but Widmark, Peterson, Best and Castner could be a chore, even though Lester and Gail could sing like nightingales. She went on to have a long career at Princeton, eventually teaching the children of her first students. Lester’s daughter, Susan, remembers that she could do no wrong in Donnabelle’s class, so maybe Miss Fry actually remembered and liked her father, Lester.

Lester was in Boys Choir, French Club, Science Club, Hi-Y Club and the National Athletic Scholarship

Society with Richard Widmark, Tom Best and Gail Castner. They all played football together their sophomore, junior, and senior year.

Lester and Gail Castner sang many duets together at many events, both in and out of school. They both had great voices. The junior class Play, “Green Stockings,” featured all four of the friends in the cast. Lester as Henry Steele and Richard Widmark as James Raleigh were two young Englishmen with their own ideas about society. Tom Best was Colonel Smith, and Gail Castner was Admiral Grice. None could have imagined that they were sharing the stage with a movie star of the future.

Lester was the class secretary during the junior year when Richard was class vice president. Richard, Lester, Tom and Gail were all class officers in at least one of their four high school years. All four of the boys were involved with the Tiger yearbook in either their junior or senior year. This four years of bonding in various school activities and sports would be the cement for friendships that would last a lifetime. Though worldwide fame was in the future for Richard Widmark, he never forgot these three high school friends.

The 63rd annual Princeton High School commencement was June 10, 1932, and it would be the start of Lester Peterson and his friends Richard Widmark, Tom Best and Gail Castner taking separate paths that would define them as individuals in their adult lives. Richard Widmark, senior class president, gave one of the two orations during the commencement; Lester and Gail Caster were two of the Senior Boy’s Sextet that sang; and all four boys were awarded membership in the National Athletic Scholarship Society. This was their last hurrah in high school. Lester Peterson, Richard Widmark, Tom Best and Gail Caster were now on their own to follow paths waiting to be taken. I’ll be back with the next part of Lester Peterson’s story in couple of weeks.

The Bureau Valley FFA horse judging team attended the state horse judging competition Sept. 19 at Black Hawk East in Kewanee. The team competed well in both the reasons division and the non-reasons division. The reasons division ranked the horses where they thought the horses were best placed, and then wrote out the reasons of why they thought one horse was better than another. Three girls competed in the reasons division and the team placed 10th and consisted of Dana Kepner, Margret Kelly and Makina Carrington. Individually, Dana Kepner placed 17th. Four girls also competed in the non-reasons division in which they place the horses how they felt best but they did not have to write out the reason as to why they placed the horses where they did. This team included Mariah Klemme, Katie Bannick, Bethany Swanson and Morgan Vick. They placed 42nd as a team. Pictured are Katie Bannick (from left), Morgan Vick, Bethany Swanson, Makina Carrington, Dana Kepner, Mariah Klemme and Maggie Kelly.

Independent Map Amendment petitions available at Bureau County Farm Bureau PRINCETON — Individuals wishing to pick up petition forms and collect signatures for the Independent Map Amendment initiative may do so at the Bureau County Farm Bureau. Completed petitions also may be returned to the local office.

“Our grassroots policy has long supported restructuring the Illinois legislative redistricting process and we feel the Independent Map Amendment coalition’s proposal is a balanced approach to the process,” said Kevin Semlow, director, state legislation, Illinois Farm Bureau. “We believe a change in the way maps are drawn will benefit our members, and hope they will take an active role in helping to make that change.”

IFB and the Bureau County Farm Bureau is working with the coalition to reach the goal of gathering 600,000 signatures of registered voters by April 2016.

The Illinois Constitution requires that any petition seeking to amend the Legislative Article of the Illinois Constitution gather at least 290,216 valid, registered voter signatures.

To gather the necessary signatures, the Bureau County Farm Bureau is asking interested individuals to circulate, collect and return petitions to the Bureau County Farm Bureau office.

“It really is a simple process for any of our members wishing to help with the effort,” Semlow said.

“Any legally registered voter in Illinois is eligible. People who sign the petition must use their full address without abbreviations, should include the address where they are registered to vote and information should be leg-

ibly written.”

Once completed, the petition sheet should be signed by the person circulating the petition and notarized and returned to the Bureau County Farm Bureau no later than December 2015.

Office staff at the Farm Bureau office can notarize the petitions.

The proposed constitutional amendment would create an 11-member independent redistricting commission to draw legislative districts for General Assembly members.

The commissioners would be selected at the same time of each federal decennial census, with the first commission appointed in 2021.

New districts drawn by the commission would be contiguous and substantially equal in population and would comply with federal law.

All of the commission’s meetings and records would be open to the public.

After a majority of commission members approve a plan, the new districts would be established at the point in time.

“The proposal from the Independent Map Amendment coalition would remove partisan consideration from map-making and make map-making public and transparent to all, which means election outcomes will not be determined in advance and may deepen the candidate pool for state elections,” Semlow said.

“In the end, voters will have more choices on the ballot and more incentive to vote, which is a win-win situation for everyone, not just farmers,” Semlow added.

Heartland Bank sponsors money matters financial education class SPRING VALLEY – Heartland Bank and Trust Co. recently launched two new consumer loan products through its Money Matters Small Dollar Loan Program.

A Money Matters Financial Education Class will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Hall High School, located at 800 W. Erie St. in Spring Valley. Heartland Bank will facilitate the class.

To register, contact Kathy Hermeyer at 815-875-4444.

Class size is limited to 25 attendees.

The program offers both Credit Builder and Credit Repair small dollar loans designed to meet the credit needs of those who may have difficulty obtaining

small, short-term loans due to poor or non-existing credit. With reasonable interest rates and low fees, the loans are designed as an affordable alternative to high-cost credit products.

Designed for a single borrower only, loan amounts range between $500 and $1,500.

Interested borrowers must first complete a mandatory Money Matters Financial Education Class provided through Heartland Bank.

“We feel the financial education class is an important part of our program,” says Ernie Hamilton, community reinvestment specialist for Heart-

land Bank. “We want to make a difference for the people we serve, not just provide a loan product and this program can really positively impact their lives.”

Money Matters Small Dollar Loan applications are currently accepted at the following Heartland Bank locations: 925 Shooting Park Road, Peru; 606 S. Main St. and 2101 N. Main St., Princeton; 501 W. Walnut St., Oglesby; and 100 E. Dakota St., Spring Valley.

For more information on the Credit Builder or Credit Repair small dollar loans, contact Ernie Hamilton at 309-662-4444 or 888-8972276.

Pension Assistance Project recovers more than $2 million With the help of the Illinois Pension Assistance Project, retirees in Illinois have recovered more than $2 million in benefits they earned during their working years.

The project provides free legal assistance to those with pension problems, particularly people of moderate and low income who have nowhere else to turn.

Thanks to the Retirement Research Foundation, based in Chicago, residents will be able to access this one-of-a-kind resource as the project enters its fourth year.

“We are very proud of what we have accomplished over the past three years,” said Jeanne Medeiros, director of the project. The project is operated by the Pension Action Center of the Gerontology Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

The Illinois Pension Assistance Project has the expertise and experience to handle a variety of issues related to retirement income benefits, such as over payments, union pensions, 401(k) plans, survivor benefits and pensions in divorce.

The center also helps find retirement plans that have been “lost” due to corporate mergers and bankruptcy.

Medeiros explains, “We always feel like, in a way, we’re keeping the pension system honest, because we’re advancing claims for people who actually earned these benefits.”

Individuals seeking assistance from the Illinois Pension Assistance Project can call 888-425-6067 or submit a request for assistance at https://www.umb.edu/pensionaction/contact.

“I was cutting to get in front of a girl and my knee cap just came out of place and went back into place all in one motion,” she said.

She said some school officials told her it probably wasn’t an ACL, because it didn’t swell up at all.

Amanda Scheri

Initially it was believed to be just a meniscus tear, but when things didn’t get better, it was determined to be her ACL. Scheri had surgery July 17 at St. Margaret’s Hospital and missed her whole junior year of sports. She has since returned to golf competition this fall.

Murray crumbled in pain, probably a lot more pain than she remembers.

“When it happened, I really wasn’t in pain, I was just more shocked than anything,” she said. “I had the most pain the week after surgery. I don’t know how to describe it. In the later month I just got stiffness pain.”

Fordham said she also heard that infamous pop and, “then it was a stabbing pain after that. I could walk on it after it happened but every once in a while it felt like it would give out on me.”

Damerell heard one loud pop when it happened and said the pain was instant.

“I knew something was wrong right away. It was a pain like I had never experienced before,” she said. “The pain lasted for a few days. Before getting surgery the knee would give out a lot just from walking, turning or twisting.”

• Next, we’ll take a look at the biggest fears each girl faced as they began to face surgery, missing the sports they love so much and the long road to recovering to get back to the playing field.

MORRISON 40, AMBOY-LAMOILLE 33

’Stangs start late fire Morrison recovers from 18-point deficit to upend Amboy-LaMoille

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

AMBOY – The Amboy-LaMoille Clippers came out fired up from the opening kickoff. The Morrison Mustangs came out fired up from the halftime locker room.

It was the Mustangs whose fired burned brightest.

Morrison rallied from a 26-8 halftime deficit Friday night at The Harbor, scoring four second-half touchdowns en route to a 40-33 victory over Amboy.

“We just played with passion in the second half,” Morrison senior running back Will Bird said. “We came out flat at the start – we seem to do that a lot – but our lines definitely stepped up in the second half. The offensive line opened holes, and the defensive line filled them in. We’re definitely happy with the win.”

The Mustangs (3-5, 3-2 Three Rivers Rock) amassed 248 of their 355 yards after the break, including 286 on the ground. After fumbling on its opening possession of the second half, Morrison scored on four consecutive possessions, all while forcing three straight Amboy punts and picking off a pass.

Bird scored two of those TDs, including the clincher from 8 yards out with 1:45 to play, and finished the night with 112 yards on 20 carries. Senior Tate Renkes added a TD in each half, and ran for 106 yards on 10 rushes,

including a 51-yard scoring scamper that accounted for almost half of the Mustangs’ first-half yards.

“It felt like we started to get down on ourselves in the first half,” Renkes said, “then we just picked each other up at halftime.

We got a lot of momentum going, we got excited, and we just kept going.”

Amboy (2-6, 1-4) went the other way.

The Clippers scored on four of their five first-half possessions, and picked off a pair of Morrison passes to set up scores.

Senior running back Ryon Richardson had 150 of his game-high 164 rushing yards before the break, and he also caught three passes for 88 yards and a TD. Dallas Appleman added 88 yards rushing and a score before halftime, and junior quarterback Jordan Hochstatter ran for a pair of TDs – Amboy’s first and last of the game.

“I think we had a lot of guys who thought the game was pretty much over at halftime,” Richardson said, “and we came out lacking a little bit in the second half. We were fired up at the start, but they were more fired up after halftime, and it sucks that it happened on our Senior Night.”

After Amboy’s third punt of the second half, Morrison QB Dylan Keller (69 passing yards) hooked up with Joey Brackemyer on a 57-yard scoring strike – one play after a long pass play was called back due to penalty – to put the Mustangs up 32-26 with 5:45 to go.

DIXON 47, ROCK FALLS 14

A trick garners treat Dukes’ fake punt turns tide as Dixon clinches playoff spot

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

ROCK FALLS – One very special special teams play was all Dixon needed to snuff out a Rock Falls uprising.

The Dukes, paced by the pitchand-catch combination of seniors Nate Gascoigne to Kyle LeBlanc, cemented their second consecutive playoff berth with a 47-14 victory against the Rockets on Friday night at Hinders Field.

Regardless of what the Dukes (6-2, 4-2 Big Northern West) do next week against Byron, they will be making postseason plans a week from Saturday.

“It’s pretty crazy,” Gascoigne said.

“This is the best time of the year to be playing good football, and we just need to keep it going.”

It wasn’t easy, as Rock Falls (0-8, 0-6) put up a fight. Dixon, up 27-7 at halftime, fumbled on its opening possession of the third quarter, and the Rockets turned that into a 13-yard Braeden Westfall touchdown run to draw within 27-14 with 8 minutes, 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

The Dukes then went nowhere on their next possession, and dropped back into punt formation. The punt-

er was Gascoigne, who threw a short pass to LeBlanc, who had drifted just past the line of scrimmage. LeBlanc turned it into a 31-yard gain, and later scored on a 10-yard pass, again on fourth down, from Gascoigne.

“It was huge,” Gascoigne said of the fake punt. “If we didn’t complete that, Rock Falls could have got the momentum, and we didn’t want that to happen.”

Gascoigne threw for 199 yards, including scoring passes of 30 yards to Arthur Cox, 21 yards to Kandras Martin, and 10 yards to LeBlanc.

Cox had a big night on the ground, with 18 carries for 109 yards, including TD runs of 4, 10 and 12 yards.

Dixon also received a TD from offensive lineman Diante Sanders, who picked up a fumble near the goal line and scored from a yard out.

It was the second touchdown this season for Sanders, who had a picksix against Winnebago in Week 6.

“I was just in the right spot at the right time,” Sanders said. “Once I picked it up, I had a bunch of guys there to push me in. Nothing was going to keep me out of there.”

Leading the way for Rock Falls was Westfall, who had 19 carries for 90 yards. Logan Pillars also threw for 108 yards, including a 2-yard TD pass to Michael Berentes on a play where Pillars was almost sacked.

OREGON 27, MENDOTA 20

Hawks win in long run Oregon uses big plays to get past Mendota in BNC West game

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

OREGON – In a 27-20 win Friday over Mendota, Oregon overcame three lost fumbles and an offense that had difficulty sustaining long drives.

Instead, the Hawks relied on four long touchdown runs, three

by Caleb Mennen and a 45-yard game-clincher by John Ghibellini late in the fourth quarter.

“It wasn’t our best effort,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “We were flat and got caught off guard on a couple of plays. Our defense remained calm, though.”

Oregon had a 14-0 lead and appeared to be in control, but a 69-yard halfback option touchdown pass with 1 minute left in the first half pulled the Trojans within 14-7.

Then Mendota (1-7, 1-5) recovered an onside kick to start the second half. Eight plays later it was 14-14 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Jake Temple and Oregon (3-5, 2-4) had a fight on its hands.

“Once we got up 14-0, we kind of hung back and they took advantage,” said Mennen, who had 144 yards on only six carries.

The speedy junior got the lead back for the Hawks with a 38-yard burst up the right side of his line

four plays later.

“That was a really nice cut he made on the run,” Bothe said. “Mendota committed so many at line of scrimmage, as many as 10 guys, which helped us break the long runs.”

On the first play of the fourth quarter, talented sophomore quarterback Bryson Prustator tied the score 20-20 on a sneak for Mendota. That touchdown was set up when the Hawks fumbled on their own 27-yard line.

Other than the touchdown runs, the other key offensive play for Oregon came from Brayton Finch.

Deep in their own territory late in the game, the Hawks faced a thirdand-9. Finch broke two tackles to keep the drive alive. Five plays later, it was Ghibellini putting the game out of reach with his touchdown.

“After a tough loss at Winnebago, we focused on finishing strong,” said Hawk 3-year lineman Matt Crandall, who had four solo tackles and nine assists. “We had some big stops in the fourth quarter.”

The final stop drove Mendota coach Brock Sondgeroth berserk.

With 2 minutes left and his team driving, Hawks defensive back Will Rice intercepted Prusator.

Officials called two penalties on Earleen Hinton/Shaw Media the Trojan sideline for protesting Oregon’s Matt Crandall dives for a loose ball that was recovered by Mendota quarterback the call.

STERLING 35, ROCHELLE 0

Right place, right time Warriors on target in shutout win over Rochelle to clinch title

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

ROCHELLE – Need some lucky numbers? Try asking Sterling’s defense.

The Golden Warriors became even better at predetermining outcomes, picking the right spots on defense to stall the Rochelle Hubs in a 35-0 win Friday at Creason Athletic Complex.

Winning the Northern Illinois Big 12’s West Division with the victory, the Golden Warrior linebackers zeroed in on the correct players, allowing just 81 yards – with 68 coming on the ground on 42 carries.

Only twice did Sterling (7-1, 4-0) allow plays of more than 10 yards.

“We challenged them, telling them all week that we played really good last week,” Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said. “But if we want to be a championship-caliber team and beat teams like Rochelle, then we were going to have to come to play tonight. And our kids showed up.”

Sterling’s defense stopped

seven runs for no gain, and made three tackles for loss.

On third-down opportunities, the Golden Warriors stopped the Hubs 11 times out of 12.

“Our defense played as a team very well,” senior linebacker Kyle Beer said. “We’ve done it the past few weeks, but I think we finally figured it out. We can fly around and get to the ball, and get it done.”

The Golden Warriors got out to a 21-0 halftime lead with touchdown runs from Andrew Spaulding of 1 and 48 yards, and the first of three touchdown passes from Sterling Thornton. Jordan Asbury was the target for the first TD catch, from 27 yards out. Turner Morse hauled in scoring receptions of 8 and 62 yards for the second-half scores.

Morse’s almost didn’t make the first TD catch, juggling the ball along the far sideline for the last couple of yards before crossing in.

“I wasn’t really focused,” Morse said. “I took my eye off the ball to look at the end zone. I shouldn’t have been doing that, but I reeled it in and got another 6 points.”

NEWMAN 22, HALL 21

Wide left, deep breath Missed FG preserves Comets’ rally past Hall in Spring Valley

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-797-4085, ext. 5529 @BWest_SVM

SPRING VALLEY – Fourth down, the 6-yard line, left hash, 3.7 seconds left – the fate of a 22-21 football game rested on the foot of Hall senior kicker Matt Krolak and the Red Devils special teams Friday.

“It really turns your stomach upside down,” said Logan Whitman, Newman senior running back, who could only watch helplessly from the sidelines. “It really shows you what you’ve got for heart.”

Only when Krolak’s kick sailed wide left could the No. 6-ranked Comets breathe easy again. In one quarter, they overcame a 13-point deficit to beat Hall and move to 7-1 (4-1 TRAC Mississippi).

And for Hall, the feeling was deflating.

“Our kids played their butts off, their kids played their butts off,” coach Randy Tieman said. “We deserved to win that game.

They deserved to win that game. We made a couple of crucial errors that cost us.”

The Red Devils (6-2, 3-2 TRAC Mississippi) kept the Comets quiet for most of the game. For the first 23 minutes, Hall held Newman runners to 2.7 yards per carry, and after scoring twice in the third, the Red Devils entered the final quarter with a 21-8 lead.

The only player Hall seemingly couldn’t stop was Comets quarterback Landen Vesley. With a minute to go until

halftime, the quarterback found a lane and broke up the middle past the Hall secondary for a 75-yard touchdown run, giving Newman an 8-7 lead.

But after Vesley’s second touchdown – a 33-yard sweep in which he dragged defenders – Whitman (Vesley’s backup) said he got the call.

“Landon couldn’t go,” Whitman said.

With 7 minutes left in the game, trailing 21-14, Newman took over from the Devils’ 49-yard line. With Whitman behind center, the Comets churned out an 11-play drive that ate almost 6 minutes of game clock. It ended with a Brady Rude 5-yard touchdown run, but rather than tie the score at 21-21, coach Mike Pappoccia opted to go for 2.

On the 2-point try, Whitman faked right on a handoff to Rude.

With most Hall defenders biting, tight end John Wilson slipped open and Whitman floated him the ball for what would be the game-winning play.

“Great fakes all around,” Whitman said. “John ran a wonderful route, and they didn’t see it coming.”

Even so, Hall had 1:13 of clock and 3 timeouts. The Red Devils took over at their own 49. Quarterback Drew Pullam connected with Christian Smith for a 22-yard catchand-run and the Red Devils were at the Newman 13 with 26 seconds remaining.

The Comets’ secondary forced 3 consecutive incompletions (with a pass interference moving the Red Devils closer).

PRINCETON 39, ERIE/PROPHETSTOWN 22

The Elite Eight Princeton clinches Three Rivers Mississippi championship

BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigers have taken a step by step approach to the 2015 football season.

That week by week philosophy has netted the Tigers their eight straight victory to start the season, defeating Erie/Prophetstown 39-22 Friday at Bryant Field.

That plan has now netted the Tigers the Three Rivers Mississippi Conference championship. Now 5-0 in the Mississippi, the Tiger have claimed the league title, owning the head-to-head tiebreaker over Newman (4-1).

“That (conference championship) was the goal at the beginning of the season. We set out game by game to accomplish it,” PHS senior running back Jacob Smith said. “All starts in the offseason. Each week in practice we strive for each game. It’s just a completion of a goal.”

The Mississippi crown would be just the third conference championship in school history. PHS won conference titles in 1984 and 1986 in the now defunct NCIC. PHS quarterback Jake Reinhardt said the win was key for a couple of reasons.

“Obviously, we’re making school history again going 8-0 and maybe knocking them out of the playoffs gives us a better chance to get into 3A,” he said of the Tigers’ playoff scenario.

The Tigers rode the workhorse run-

ning Friday of Smith, who gained 153 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries, and the near perfect passing of Reinhardt (13-14, 125 yards, 2 TDs).

Senior Jett Wedekind hauled in a 31-yard TD pass as the Tigers stretched out a 19-8 lead early in the third quarter. He added a 33-yard TD romp when he tip-toed down the sidelines to take it 31-14 early in the fourth quarter.

The Panthers closed within 13-8 with 2:02 left in the first half on a 13-yard run by Dylan Binion and conversion run by Phillip Coers. They converted a key fourth and one play from their own 32, a decision E/P coach Chuck Milem said was more of lacking confidence in the Panthers’ punting game more than anything.

E/P also got a 32-yard TD by Jack Bauer in the final minute of the third quarter and a 22-yard score by Seth Cameron late in the fourth.

Milem said the Tiger wore the PanBCR photo/Mike Vaughn thers down.

“We got beat up front. I think they were Princeton’s Jett Wedekind and E/P’s Seth Cameron lock horns Friday. more physical than us. That third and long killed all night long. Our defense The Red Zone couldn’t get of the field,” he said.

Player of the game: Jacob Smith, Princeton, 157 yards rushing 2 TDs Only Sherrard stands in the Tigers’ path of a perfect 9-0 campaign.

He said it: “Obviously, we’re making school history again going 8-0 “At this point it’s all about the next and maybe knocking them out of the playoffs gives us a better chance opponent. We don’t talk much about to get into 3A.” – Jake Reinhardt, Princeton quarterback. being undefeated, It’s about one game Up next: E/P (4-4, 2-3) home vs. Hall (6-2, 3-2), Princeton (8-0, 5-0) Jacob at a time and one opportunity at a time. home vs. Sherrard (0-8, 0-5), 7:30 p.m. Friday.

BUREAU VALLEY 55, RIVERDALE 0

Storm stays alive Bounce-back win over Riverdale keeps BV in playoff hunt

BY BRENT JAMISON sports@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS – After a disappointing loss to Fulton last week, the Bureau Valley Storm wanted to get back in the win column and keep their playoff hopes alive.

On Friday night, the Storm bounced back in a big way, scoring early and often and defeating the Riverdale Rams 55-0 on Senior Night in Manlius.

“We did a nice job of executing tonight,” Storm coach Spencer Davis said. “It doesn’t matter who you play you have to execute a game plan. I challenged our kids this week because I didn’t think we played very well last week. We didn’t execute and had a lot of penalties. We came out tonight and we executed well. I was proud of the way all the kids played.”

The Storm (4-4, 2-3) scored on five of their six possessions in the first half to take a 33-0 lead into the break. Senior running back Will Konneck led the offense with 127 yards rushing and two touchdowns on eight carries, all in the first half.

“Everyone played their butts off tonight,” Konneck said. “We all worked hard and were in the game.

We came to play today.”

Drake Davis tossed a pair of

touchdown passes in the first half to Bryan Herr. The first was a 45-yard bomb and the second came on a 2-yard fade with 15 seconds remaining in the half. Davis finished 93 yards passing and 111 yards rushing.

The Storm defense had a big night as well, limiting Riverdale (0-8, 0-4) to just 125 yards of total offense and also scoring twice on turnovers. Caje Peterson recovered a fumble forced out by Calen Buysse and returned it 30 yards for a first quarter touchdown. Hunter Schoff had two interceptions in the game, returning one for a 10-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Seniors Shawn Christianson and Thomas Brummel tied for the team lead in tackles with 12 each.

“Shawn Christensen played a wale of a game,” Coach Davis said.

“The last three or four weeks Caje Peterson has been all over the place. I’m happy that the defense came out tonight and played with some enthusiasm.”

Herr added a 39-yard field goal in the third quarter to enforce the running clock.

ORION 47, ST. BEDE 20

Orion derails St. Bede Bruins faces must-win next week vs. Newman to make playoffs

BY DAN DWYER sports@bcrnews.com

ORION — On the chilliest night of the season, the St. Bede Bruins started off cold and miscues snowballed resulting in a 47-20 thumping by the Orion Chargers Friday night in Orion.

“The wheels came off and it just snowballed,” SBA coach Jim Eustice said.

Orion took advantage of early SBA miscues as they had committed two turnovers and had a blocked punt all in the first quarter that resulted in 20 points for the Chargers.

“They punched us in the mouth and boy we just didn’t respond.

Physically they just beat us,” Eustice said. “They physically beat us the whole first half and I’m stunned. I’m stunned that we didn’t respond and that’s got to be on my staff and I. All year long we punched back and we didn’t punch back.”

The physicality that the Chargers brought was more than the Bruins could handle as Orion used the early SBA miscues to build a 34-0 lead on an 18-yard strike from junior quarterback Craig Matson to Koby Stropes with 3:20 to play in the first half.

“It seemed like they wanted it

more than us tonight and I’m surprised. I didn’t expect this tonight,” Eustice said.

Senior Baylee Hopps finally stopped the bleeding 1:34 later as he barreled his way through the Orion defense for a eight-yard score to cut the Chargers’ lead to 34-6.

Hopps added another scamper this one of 75 yards while quarterback Bryant Eustice and junior receiver Josh Sapp connected for 25 yards in the second half but the Bruins were too far down to make a comeback and fell short 47-20.

With the loss the Bruins hold their playoff future in their own hands as they will have procured enough playoff points to get into the postseason if they can muster a victory over the Newman Central Catholic Comets (7-1, 4-1).

“We’re 4-4 and there’s no quesBCR photo/Dan Dwyer tion with our playoff points that St. Bede’s Baylee Hopps runs for yardage during Friday night’s 47-20 loss to the Chargers. we’re in so our playoffs start right now,” Eustice said referring to the fifth win needed next week The Red Zone to qualify for the playoffs. “We’ve Player of the game: Baylee Hopps, St. Bede running back, two rushing touchgot Newman coming to town and downs. they’re going to try to cram the He said it: “They punched us in the mouth and boy we just didn’t respond.

POLO 52, AFC 14

Marcos reveal secret Blocking leading to bevy of big plays for undefeated Marcos

BY ROB LAIRD Special to SVM

FRANKLIN GROVE – It seems no matter which player is carrying the ball for the Polo Marcos, he will invariably gain several yards en route to another touchdown in another lopsided victory.

So what’s the secret for this level of dominance?

“We make holes, and they get through,” senior two-way lineman Noah Prerost said following his team’s 52-14 victory at Ashton-Franklin Center on Friday.

“We work hard in practice, we work hard against each other, and that’s how we get better.”

Certainly, it can’t just be that simple for Polo, the top-ranked team in the Associated Press Class 1A poll leading into this week’s action.

But as they’ve done throughout the season, the Marcos did make it look pretty easy on Friday, scoring touchdowns on every one of their meaningful possessions.

AFC executed a solid game plan early, and scored on its opening drive on a 13-yard run by junior Kaywan Palmer to pull within 8-6.

But the Raiders’ defense simply had no solution for the masterful Polo offense, which was orchestrated by the now fully-healed

quarterback Brody Grobe. The senior finished with 114 rushing yards and 65 passing yards, all in the first half.

First-half highlights for Polo included a 50-yard touchdown run by Brad Cavanaugh and a 25-yard TD pass from Grobe to Richie Bartnick.

AFC nearly matched the Marcos by threatening to score again early in the second quarter, but a fumble deep in Polo territory stymied the momentum. The Marcos capitalized with a 10-play, 90-yard drive capped by Bartnick’s touchdown reception to stretch their lead to 24-6. Whatever energy was left on AFC’s sideline seemed to disappear with that turn of events.

Polo then poured it on in its typical dominant style, scoring touchdowns on its first seven possessions to enact the running clock in the final minute of the third quarter. The Marcos then advanced to the AFC 1-yard line on their only fourth-quarter possession before running out the clock with a delay of game penalty.

Next week, the unbeaten Marcos take on winless Orangeville Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com next week as a final regular- Polo’s Dylan Beers celebrates his tackle for loss Friday night during the Marcos’ 52-14 win in season tuneup.
