High voter turnout expected Early voting begins

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

Early voting has begun.

On Monday, early voting began, and a steady turnout was seen in both early voting locations, according to Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus.

Princeton’s early voting is available at the Bureau County Courthouse basement office, located at 700 S. Main St. in Princeton. The courthouse is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Also, the Bureau County Clerk’s office, located on the first floor of the courthouse, will have early voting available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 25, The last available day for early voting is Nov. 1 in the clerk’s first-floor office.

Hieronymus said Spring Valley voting is open at Spring Valley City Hall, located at 215 N. Greenwood St. in the council chambers from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Concerning other voting options, Hieronymus said quite a few absentee ballots have already been returned, about 250 out of the 350 that have

gone out. This is a higher number than usual at this juncture, she said.

However, interest levels have seemed high this year, Hieronymus continued.

“We’ve had a lot of people with questions — a lot of people in with questions and phone calls,” she said.

The high interest level and the early return of so many absentee ballets indicates a high turnout this year, Hieronymus said. Early voting will be available through Nov. 1 at the above locations to all registered voters.

There are several contested statewide and local races, as well as three statewide advisory questions and two constitutional questions on the ballot. Also locally, voters in the village of DePue, city of Spring Valley and the Buda Fire Protection District have referendums on their ballots.

Contested countywide races are those for Bureau County Sheriff between Democrat candidate James Reed of Arlington and Republican candidate Allan Beaber of Princeton, and for the office of Bureau County Treasurer between Republican candidate Courtney Yates-Mabry of Princeton and Democrat candidate Rick Wilkin of Ohio.

Ebola virus update Sheriff warns against Ebola scams

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — About two months after news of the Ebola virus in Africa became an international concern, the Illinois

Department of Public Health (IDPH) has established an Ebola hotline to answers questions and concerns from residents.

On Friday, IDPH Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said the Ebola hotline is available by calling 800889-3931 or by visiting the IDPH website. In an additional safeguard measure, a task force comprised of medical, health care, emergency response and state officials is being

assembled to further strengthen the state’s ability to respond to Ebola, Hasbrouck said.

On Monday, Bureau/ Putnam County Health Department Administrator Diana Rawlings said the local health department is receiving daily updates through webinars and telephone calls from the IDPH, the Centers for Disease Control and other state and national agencies concerning Ebola pre-

vention and preparedness.

“We are committed to keeping the community healthy and informed,” Rawlings said.

In other Ebola news, Illinois Attorney Genera Lisa Madigan has issued a warning about a new wave of scams targeting people concerned about the Ebola virus, specifically asking them to send money for personal protection kits

Guerrini: A tireless guardian angel for Spring Valley Colmone: ‘She was one in a million’

By BCR

SPRING VALLEY — A long-time advocate for Spring Valley who tirelessly performed community service to promote and assist people in her town, Lori Guerrini died Saturday at the age of 58 after a long struggle with ovarian cancer.

Once termed “tiny but mighty,” Guerrini could be found throughout the community volunteering time and energy and raising money for special causes throughout the Illinois Valley.

Brother-in-law Bill Guerrini remembers her fondly.

“Being around her was fun,” Bill said. “She was a blessing to know. She was always ready to help out in the community, and she passed that quality down to her kids and grandkids, and three generations of kids at the daycare (she operated).”

Guerrini was a strong

supporter of running in the area and was instrumental on many projects in Spring Valley.

“From the first, she organized the Walleye 5K Run,” Bill said. “She coordinated it with the Starved Rock Runners Club. I think it’s still their kick-off event.

“I think a lot of people have forgotten but she was an integral part of raising money for the new track at Hall High School,” Bill said. “I don’t remember who gave her the nickname of ‘tiny but mighty,’ but that fits her well. She was a good egg and a great person.”

Retired Hall High School

athletic director Frank Colmone remembers well how Guerrini raised money for the all-weather track at Hall.

“She came to me around 1990, and said she wanted to get an all-weather track for Hall High School,” Colmone said. “I said, ‘I want that too, but do you know how much that costs?’ She said she didn’t know, and I told her it would cost about $250,000. She said, ‘I’m going for it.’”

And that she did ... holding fundraisers and becoming the catalyst for

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

A victim’s story

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The issues that surround domestic violence are easy to push under the rug and pretend they are not happening. But during October, advocates are shining a light on these hidden and dark secrets.

Amber Killian, a shelter advocate at Freedom House, explained Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is about bringing these issues to the forefront and getting people talking.

“We need to shout from the rooftops that violence inside the walls of a home is not OK, and that it’s not a family matter,” she said. “Women are isolated inside those walls, and they have to know that there is a way out when they are ready.”

This month, awareness is being spread through various ways. Many may have attended or are planning to attend a DVAM event around the Illinois Valley; some have added a thumbprint to the traveling Tree of Support; sported an awareness purple ribbon; or even began following Freedom House through social media.

“We want to get the community involved as much as possible, so they are aware they can be a part of the solution and help these families,” Killian said. “And we want victims in our area to know they are supported and have somewhere to go.”

Thinking about domestic violence as a topic or concept, Bruce McVety, executive director of Freedom House, explains it as being opaque and

“Unless it’s something that has occurred to you or in your home, it’s something out there that doesn’t really affect us,” he said. “It doesn’t strike home for many until we encounter it. A personal encounter changes the way we respond to people and the awareness of it.”

Freedom House serves five counties including Bureau, Marshall, Putnam, Stark and Henry and offers residential and non-residential services to victims of domestic violence.

Last year, Freedom House served 551 victims of domestic violence and spent 8,402.5 hours providing service to adults and children.

“To understand the volume of service to vic-

On Monday, Bureau

County Sheriff John Thompson said he’s “very, very disappointed” that people would try to take advantage of others with the Ebola virus, but he’s not surprised to hear of the latest scams. The val-

tims in shelter, just think about what a household of four would need to live for a month in their home,” Killian said.

“Now times it by six or eight families of four who are living under the same roof at one time.”

There are many ways Freedom House can offer help to victims. There is a 24-hour hotline where trained advocates take calls from emergency situations.

Advocates are available 24-hours to assist victims in hospitals, through law enforcement or in person. There is 24-hour access to emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling services, educational services and prevention education at the schools to children and teens.

Freedom House offers professional trainings to clergy, medical person-

ues with which local people were raised just aren’t there outside of their own local community, he said.

Though he has not heard of any local instances of an Ebola scam being circulated, residents need to

nel, teachers, employers and law enforcement and can provide legal advocacy for orders of protection, civil no contact orders and stalking orders.

“I truly believe people need to know where Freedom House is, know our number, our services, because everyone is bound to know someone who will experience or is experiencing domestic violence,” Killian said.

“I encourage everyone to speak out; if you hear someone joking about domestic violence let it be known you’re not OK with it … The victims of abuse can’t do it alone and neither can we.”

Freedom House is located at 440 Elm Place, Princeton, and can be reached at 815-872-0087.

be on the alert, Thompson said. If they get any solicitation of any type asking for money, just don’t do it, he said.

If people want to donate money, they should find that local cause or that local charity which will

Editor’s note: This is the personal account from a victim of domestic violence.

The victim’s name is not used to protect her privacy.

I grew up in a house where domestic abuse was the norm.

One of my first memories is waking up to find my father twisting my mom’s arm so badly that she was crying and screaming in pain. I wasn’t allowed to talk about it, but when I would spend time at a friend’s house and didn’t see it, I realized it wasn’t normal. I begged my mom to leave, but she wouldn’t, and I could never understand why. I made a promise to myself that I would never let that happen to me.

Fast forward to when I’d thought I’d met my Prince Charming. He was jealous, possessive and checked my computer all the time, but I didn’t take it as a warning sign. I took it as a compliment and proof of how much he must care about me.

After two months of living together, we got into an argument, and he punched me in the jaw and twisted my arm.

I called the local shelter, and I left. While there, I got a message from him saying he missed me; he didn’t understand why he did it to me; he was sorry; and it wouldn’t happen again if I gave him another chance. I was still in love, and I thought to myself, “He never did that before, and everyone makes mistakes. Who am I to judge?”

Within a few days of moving back, I lost my job because he was calling me at work and harassing me.

I was really stuck — two kids, no job, no money and no place of my own.

I wasn’t allowed to speak to my mother, and the few friends I had turned their backs on me because they didn’t understand why I stayed. It’s so hard to explain to someone who hasn’t been there, but you get to a place in your mind where you’re willing to take the abuse for the rare good moments you get.

I had downplayed everything to my sister, and one night she was on the phone with my son and something he said made her wonder. She sent me a message saying she was concerned about us, and that she was there for me.

I didn’t answer her back right away.

A couple nights later my abuser strangled me so bad I passed out. It made me come to my senses.

I started formulating my escape plan because I knew he wasn’t going to easily let me go. The day I planned to leave, he threatened me with a knife. I called the police, and he was put in jail.

I got us out of there, and we came to Princeton to stay with my sister.

An acquaintance of hers told me about Freedom House. They helped me connect with the resources I needed, and I began getting counseling. Today, I have a job; I’m in transitional housing; and I feel like me again. I’d forgotten who I was, and I didn’t even realize how much of myself I had lost. I will forever be thankful for the existence of Freedom House and all the staff here. They have really changed my life.

I am breaking the chain of domestic violence in my family, so my children never have to grow up the way I did.

use their money in a valid manner, Thompson said.

The same goes for services as well. If people need a service, they should use that local, credible service-provider who won’t take advantage of them, the sheriff said.

“My position remains the same as before. Do not donate to any solicitation for money whether you get that through the mail or phone,” Thompson said.

SVE looks at behavior disorder program JFK addition nearly finished

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley Elementary School Board has been asked to consider housing a behavioral disorder program.

At last week’s board meeting, Principal Kim Barber reported to the board that since Ohio School District will be closing its behavioral disorder program, Spring Valley was asked if they might be interested in housing the program.

Barber confirmed Spring Valley has sent students to the Ohio program in the past.

She confirmed the program does pay for itself financially because it’s

Guerrini From Page 1 the track. Colmone said she wouldn’t stop until she had raised enough money — which she did.

Colmone said she was also an integral part of many other activities including Special Olympics, the PADS homeless shelter, the Spring Valley Walleye 5K Run and the St. Jude Run, where he said Guerrini pretty much put the entire fundraiser together. Throughout the years she raised thousands and thousands of dollars for St. Jude, and Colmone said the Memphis-based children’s hospital is really going to miss her and her support.

Colmone said her activities as an adult weren’t too different than the much younger Guerrini he remembered attending Hall High School, where she was involved in many, many activities.

She had been inducted into the Hall High School

based on student population.

Superintendent Jim Hermes confirmed there would be some administrative costs added for the program.

Barber said the program would need to only utilize one room, and the maximum number of students in a class would be eight.

She said one teacher and at least one para-professional would also be in the classroom.

The school didn’t take any action on the matter, as they wish to look into more of the specifics before making a final decision.

John F. Kennedy addition almost completely finished In his monthly report to the board, Bill VanDusen of Allied Designs talked about the odds and ends that still need to be completed within the new John F. Kennedy school addition.

The unfinished punch

list items, which need to be completed by various contractors are what’s keeping VanDusen from performing a final inspection of the building and are also preventing the board from sending out final payments to contractors for their work.

“We haven’t seen any people here,” Superintendent Jim Hermes said. “If people want to get paid, they need to start showing up.”

Some adjustments that are still being worked out are the temperature control system and assessing the new parking lot area to ensure no further cracking will occur.

As of last Wednesday, Hermes reported the board is still waiting for their final grant payment, totaling around $1.2 million, which will cover the remaining costs for the addition project.

Athletic Hall of Fame.

“The whole town is in a sad state today, “ Colmone said on Monday. “She was one of the finest persons I ever met in my entire life. It came naturally to her; she wanted to help someone else all the time and never took credit for it.

She had been sick for a while, and I never heard her complain once about it. She was one in a million. I’m going to miss her something fierce. She just wanted to help other people.”

Starved Rock Area Special Olympics Director Cheryl DePaepe said Guerrini had been an extremely valued volunteer for several decades.

She and her family could always be seen setting up and running several Special Olympic events.

“She was a dear friend and touched so many lives on so many different levels,” DePaepe said. “She will most be remembered for her smile, enthusiasm, ded-

ication and passion for Special Olympics.”

Longtime friend Mary Jane Marini said she and Guerrini go back a long ways, when their sons were in grade school together. The families remained friends through a lot of school and college days and events. Guerrini was also a children’s librarian at the Spring Valley Public Library before she started her day care center.

Guerrini was a tremendous asset to the community, Marini said. She was willing to give her time and talents to anyone in the community. If she got involved in something, she would give it 110 percent and saw it through to the end. She was a positive force in the community, Marini said.

“We were friends for many, many years. It’s been a wonderful, wonderful relationship with Lori,” Marini said. “She was the best.”

A group of more than 30 bikers from Princeton have raised $75,000 for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., as part of the St. Jude Ride to Memphis. All groups together contributed more than $500,000 this year

Bikers raise big bucks for St. Jude

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — A group of more than 30 bikers have raised $75,000 for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Group spokesperson Mary Jo Boland said the St. Jude Ride to Memphis was a huge success. The Princeton area motorcyclists had about 30 bikes with some of the bikers also having passengers.

The group left the Ye Olde Underground Inn in Princeton at 7 a.m. Sept.

18 with a police escort and perfect riding conditions with temperatures for the day ranging from 50 to 75 degrees. The group arrived in Sikeston, Mo., about 4:30 p.m. that evening, where they spent the night. The following day, the group met up in

Dyersburg, Tenn., with other groups from Peoria, Nashville, Kansas City and the Quad Cities area. The groups rode together into Memphis with a full police escort.

“As we entered the hospital campus, the streets were lined with cheering people – patients, parents, workers, doctors,” Boland said.

The Princeton group, which included bikers from throughout a 50-mile radius, had lunch under a big tent and then had pictures taken before proceeding to the auditorium, Boland said. The Princeton group raised $75,000, and all groups together contributed more than $500,000 this year, which brings the total to $3.1 million in seven years.

To participate in the annual St. Jude event, each biker had to raise $1,000 with passengers each rais-

ing $500 to ride. Many of the bikers and passengers surpassed that minimum.

Throughout the year, individuals have fundraisers such as Jackpot Bingo events and a drawdown in memory of the late Princeton Police Officer Danny Sissel.

The Princeton group has participated in the annual 500-mile St. Jude bike ride for the past four years, as a satellite group of the Peoria bike group through efforts of former Princeton businessman Steve Wiebler, Boland said.

According to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital web page, the hospital averages more than 67,000 patient visits each year. The daily operating cost for St. Jude is $2 million, which is primarily covered by individual contributions.

BBB issues nationwide warning on fake invoicing scheme CHICAGO — The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has issued a nationwide warning to consumers about a company called IDBS that indicates their address is 2002 Summit Boulevard, Suites 300 and 400, Atlanta, Ga. They state their nature of business is “web design.”

BBB began receiving complaints on this firm in November 2013. As of this date, there have been 158 complaints filed from 39 states.

The company has an F rating with BBB for failure to respond to 27 of the complaints, while two complaints remain unresolved.

Consumers allege receiving an invoice for $599 for “business listing optimization.” All complainants disputed the charges stating they had never contracted with the company, authorized any charges or received any services. The pattern of complaints remains the same.

Schaumburg businessman, Parul Jain received an invoice.

two to three times a day for over a year to try to collect the money. I kept asking for details and proof.

They claimed they had me on tape. They didn’t stop until I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. They are ruthless.”

The company has responded to some complaints indicating the following: “Our files indicate that we spoke to (customer). We have a verbal recording of him/her authorizing the invoice on (date).

However it is our company policy total customer (sic) satisfaction, therefore, we closed the account and put the company on our do not call list.”

Some of the invoices list a suite number of 300 while others list suite 400. BBB has received notices from two different businesses that have offices in the same building stating the suite numbers on the invoices belong to them. They also say they have no affiliation with IDBS. Based on this, BBB is not sure where this company is actually located or if they have an actual physical location.

According to a domain name search of the company’s website, internet-data-solutions.net, this URL was created on Oct. 29, 2013.

Currently, the website is no longer active. Attempts to contact the company by phone have not been successful.

BBB has the following tips to avoid being the victim of these types of scams: • Designate only certain employees to make company purchases.

• Train your staff to direct calls to only employees authorized to order supplies and services.

• Check all documentation before you pay bills. Make sure you intentionally purchased and have received the items for which you have been billed.

• Know your rights. If you receive supplies or invoices for services you didn’t order, don’t pay. It’s illegal for a seller to invoice you, send threatening notices for merchandise you didn’t order, or ask you to return the merchandise.

• Report fraud. Report suspected fraud to BBB and the Attorney General’s office[

From the editor’s desk I love fall. The cool, crisp air ... the sound of the leaves crunching under my feet ... the smell of the season ... I could literally go on and on ...

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon ... with a rake in hand, the pile of leaves was just the tip of the iceberg soon to come. I have more than 100 trees in my yard — most which have leaves, although the new rule is that we can’t buy any more trees unless they are pines, firs, hemlocks or something that doesn’t shed its leaves in the fall. Anyway, every year the colors of fall Terri Simon always make me pause and look at life with the vibrancy of the colorful season ... until I pick up the rake or the leaf blower ... when the “beauty of fall” takes on a whole different meaning. Ugh! ••• I hope you are planning to attend our Voters Forum this evening, Tuesday, set for 7 p.m. at the Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton. The event features a forum for the two candidates running for Bureau County Treasurer — Rick Wilkin and Courtney Yates-Mabry, as well as the two candidates who have thrown their hats in the ring for the Bureau County Sheriff’s race — Allan Beaber and Jim Reed.

Our editorial department has formulated questions for each race. We will not accept questions from the crowd. Each candidate will be given a time for opening remarks and closing remarks, plus time to answer each question and then additional time to add any further comments on the question. If you’ve attended our previous forums, the format will be the same.

Our Voters Forum is an opportunity for each candidate to share their story and give you information on their views, their goals and why they want to hold the county office. If you are unsure about who should get your vote, this event is for you; and even if you already know who you are voting for, this is a wonderful opportunity to become reacquainted with your candidate and understand their approach/goals to these important county offices.

I hope to see you there.

••• If you haven’t already heard, our Women of Distinction Awards luncheon was so much fun. Not only did we honor our six Women of Distinction for 2014 — Donna Barker, Michelle Brady, Pam Lange, Mary Lanham, Eleanor Walker and Carole Yandel, but we also honored all women in the Illinois Valley and the commitment they have made to making our area a better place to live.

Our keynote speaker, Kathy O’Malley, gave a wonderful speech on the importance of girlfriends — offering a variety of inspirational messages that touched the crowd. We had a ton of door prizes, great food at the Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby, plenty of time for networking and conversation ... it was just a lovely afternoon. Thanks to all who came, and thanks again to everyone who nominated someone for this honor.

In late Spring 2015, we’ll be calling for nominations for our next Women of Distinction Awards, so start thinking now about who you’d like to nominate.

••• Just a reminder: If your organization is holding a special event, please feel free to take photos and submit them to the Bureau County Republican at news@bcrnews.com. As much as we’d like to attend every event, we just don’t have the resources to do so, so you can really help us out by submitting photos, press releases, etc. Whether it’s a church activity, a school event, etc., we’ll be happy to publish your special event, before and after it happens. Give us a call if you have questions.

••• Have you taken that fall drive yet? It won’t be long before Mother Nature and Jack Frost enter our world, so do it while you can. Have a great week.

This, that and the odder With the new school year starting, everyone in my family is up to new adventures.

Justus is thrilled to be back in school. He is always looking for things to get him out of our crazy house, and going to school three days a week is a perfect excuse.

Justus turned 15 on Sept. 24 and immediately got behind the wheel ... so look out! He also attended homecoming at St. Bede. That is not his high school, but one neat thing about Justus is he is game for anything. He can go to a dance with someone from a different school, go out on the dance floor and just have fun.

Milo joined a book club at the Princeton Public Library. He loves to read, and this now gives him an excuse to read even more than he already does. It is kind of funny because Milo was pretty late in learning to read. It took a long time for him to get the hang of it, but he reads more than the rest of us combined. I remember when I was in a book club. I liked the club but never bothered reading the book.

Milo had his book read in a day.

Simeon started flag football.

He is having a blast and has been talking non-stop about how much he loves it. His first game was the other day, and he kept begging everyone to come and see him. My dad had to work, and Milo was at his book club, but the rest of us were there. He was so excited at the end of the game and was hoping next week the whole family could come watch. You would think six of us watching might count. He is also back to helping the farmers. I know all the farmers had to go and stock up on food before Simeon came to ride with them. Whenever he comes home from riding with the farmers, we hear about everything he ate that day. We hear the farmers say often, “Boy, he has a big appetite.”

Faustina has started dance class.

Instead of getting toys for her birth-

Amelia Bystry COMMENTARY

day this year, she asked for dance lessons. My mom conceded even though she tries to only let each one of us be in one activity, and Faustina already plays violin. She loves dance! After the first day, she came home with a huge hole in her tights. We weren’t surprised because Faustina seems to spill, trip and rip a lot. After questioning her instructor about how long the tights usually last, she explained that most girls just grow out of them. Not Faustina! Needless to say, we are going to have to stock up on a few pair of white tights.

Patience is now attending preschool. After a 13-year hiatus, my mom decided to send a second child to Happy Hands (I was the first). She admits she just needed a break from her strong, 3-yearold personality and that Happy Hands is a wonderful place. After Patience’s first day my mom asked her about her new friends. She responded saying she played with “Rug.” This answer, of course, was quite confusing, and we all knew that there was no one in the class whose name was Rug. My mom started questioning Patience further about Rug, asking if she liked “rug time” that day; this resulted in her getting very frustrated. It was clear that continuing to ask about “Rug” was upsetting Patience, so my mom dropped the subject. Later the next week, as she was walking into school, Patience said, “Look there’s carpet!” Suddenly everything made sense. Patience has a friend named Harper, but she misunderstood her name thinking it was Carpet. Then it evolved into “Rug.” We have now helped Patience to learn how to say

Harper’s name when she comes home every day talking about her.

Angelo got his first haircut the other day. It is pretty unusual for an 8-month-old baby to get their first haircut that early, but it is also not typical for the hairstylist to be 3 years old! The other morning we received doughnuts from a friend.

Patience had finished half her doughnut, and my mom set the rest on top of the buffet to keep it away from the dogs. My mom then proceeded to get into the shower.

When she got out of the shower, she found some hair on the ground.

Not knowing where the hair came from, she questioned Patience.

She proceeded to explain that while my mom was in the shower, the dogs were trying to get on the buffet and get the doughnut. When they were doing this, they knocked down a pair of scissors. Patience then gave the dog a haircut and kept going, giving Angelo a stylish cut. So, if you ever want a haircut, you can come over to our house and get one done by a 3 year old.

While you’re at it, you can also feel the stubble on top of Angelo’s head.

I have been attending my first semester at IVCC. I am going two days a week and taking three classes. I absolutely love it. This is the first school experience (besides Driver’s Ed) that I have ever had. I am also preparing a Chopin Nocturne for my upcoming piano recital. The timing is a killer. I am trying to fit 21 notes in the right hand into 12 in the left. They don’t really match up very easily, and it is driving me crazy. It is a bit like rubbing your tummy while patting your head, but much harder. I am really hoping that it will come together by the recital date. I also purchased a new-to-me car. It is a stick shift and has provided me with lots of stories to share with you in the future.

Bureau County retired teachers meet PRINCETON — The Sept. 18 luncheon meeting of the Bureau County Retired Teachers Association was held at the Princeton Public Library.

A business meeting was conducted, followed by presentations by John Flaherty, legislative chairman for the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, Donald Gibb, legislative committee member for IRTA Region 7, and Nancy Cramer, District Manager, for the Association Member Benefits Advisors.

Flaherty and Gibb provided an overview of the progress of the ongoing court debates and decisions resulting from the passage of last year’s SB 1 that deals with pension reform. As soon as SB 1 was passed, it was met with many challenges and finally a lawsuit that finally reached the Illinois Supreme Court. There have been some rulings on the challenges, but no final decision has been rendered. The Court did rule that the state constitution’s pension protection clause prevents any diminishment of health care benefits for retired state employees. The 6-1 decision said the pension protection clause overrode the state’s argument that its police powers, applied to dealing with state’s budget crisis, justified recalculation of what retirees must pay for their health benefits. The decision comes while the state is defending against chal-

lenges to an overhaul of pensions for state workers and school teachers outside of Chicago.

This should have a very significant effect on pending litigation over the state’s pension reform law. It means that the Illinois Supreme Court is giving the pension protection clause in the state constitution the broad and liberal interpretation that the drafters intended. The court rejected the state’s argument that healthcare benefits are not covered by the pension protection clause, finding that there is nothing in the state constitution to support that.

In an opinion written by Justice Charles Freeman, a Chicago Democrat, the court indicated that it would not take a differential approach. The court has said that any changes to a pension statute “must be liberally construed in favor of the rights of the pensioner,” quoting from one of its own opinions, written in 2013, which involved a dispute over early retirement between a worker and the city in which he was employed.

He further stated, “We may not rewrite the pension protection clause to include restrictions and limitations that the drafters did not express and the citizens of Illinois did not approve.”

Flaherty and Gibb provided updates and opinions relevant to both recent views on the

3-Peat for Princeton ‘That’s really become the expectation for us.’ • David Gray ​By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MENDOTA — Two minutes, that’s all the time Tanner Kuhne needed to kick in the game-winning goal in Saturday’s regional finals. Then it was up to the Princeton defense to make it stand.

They pitched the 1-0 shutout to send the Tigers to their third straight regional championship, defeating the Mendota Trojans on their home turf. PHS also blanked DePue in the regional semifinals 1-0.

“That’s really become the expectation for us, because we’ve kind of made that leap to that level,” PHS coach David Gray said. “Mendota’s a good team; took everything we had. We got a little fortunate with the goal we scored and that one held up. Good fortune, and we played hard and deserved it. Those two things go together and we get to move on.

Kuhne hardly worked up a sweat when he sneaked a long shot past Mendota keeper Jesus Delao at the 1:58 mark.

“I got it out pretty far out, actually,” he said. “I didn’t have any options, so I decided I was going to take an early shot, just challenge the goalie right away. He made a simple

Kuhne, who also had the game-winning goal in the Tigers’ 1-0 semifinal win over DePue, said having practiced on the gym floor at PHS helped to simulate the speed of the faster game on the synthetic turf

at Mendota.

That goal, Kuhne said, not only gave the Tigers momentum, but “we also played a lot harder after that. Our defense pretty much stopped everything for us.”

Dudek, Hicks save best for last at state

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

St. Bede senior Joe Dudek and Princeton junior Arraia Hicks made the most of their first appearances in IHSA State Golf Competition.

Dudek shot an impressive 3-over 39 1A Girls State Meet on the back 9 at Prairie Vista Golf Course Saturday in Bloomington, 82 overall for the day.

He finished the tournament at 165, good for a five-way tie for 37th place.

St. Bede coach Rich Cummings said Dudek went out playing his best golf, noting how he was able to overcome any trouble he found, in particular on hole No. 16.

“Yeah, he really did. That’s all you

Hicks carded a 90 (+18) for the final 18 holes of golf in the 1A Girls State Meet at Red Tail Run Golf Club in

Decatur. She finished at 38-over (183) for the two-day, 36-hole competition, finishing in a five-way tie for 60th place with more golfers to finish.

Cummings said Dudek went into state with realistic goals, aiming to finish in the top third or 25 percent, and to finish ahead of all the local kids and the kids from conference.

“There were only 16 scores ahead of him with all the ties and stuff,” Cummings said.

PHS coach Will Gross said Hicks played the best golf of her career.

“Arraia played absolutely wonderful when considering the atmosphere and what was on the line,” PHS coach Will

She was able to post her best two 18-hole scores of her young career which is fantastic considering she did it at the state finals. I saw a fire in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before and it was evident in the way that she played.

Dukes give team manager a Senior Night moment to remember ​By Ty Reynolds Shaw Meda Service

Princeton’s John Mead goes heads up against Mendota Saturday.

BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus

Tigers From Page 11 Gray said the Tigers resisted the urge to fall into a defensive shell with an early lead and played aggressive. They stuck to their game plan.

“I just think we got guys in the back that are really athletic,” he said. “We had Zach Burrows shadow (Luis Valdez) and try to deny him as much as possible and make the other guys beat us. It’s hard to get anything past Drew Pranka. He’s so fast and covers so much space in a short amount of time that if anybody wants to play long ball on us, I say, ‘Good luck.’”

To keep a strong team like Mendota off the board, Gray said the “boys showed the grit and determination that you need to win in the playoffs. It feels good.”

Keeper Isaac Salazar made nine saves on goal (Mendota had 17 shots) Perhaps his biggest on the night came with 8:28 left in the game when he dove and laid out to his right to make the stop.

“It’s something different. You know it’s going to be there, in your head, and you get to it. It’s a rush, it’s amazing,” he said. “You try to hit it out or catch it and try not to put it back in play if I can.”

While he feels pressure as the last line of defense, Salazar said he and his defenders have each other’s backs.

“My defensive line has done really well all year.

There’s not much other team’s offenses can do to penetrate,” he said.

“Isaac had a heckuva night. He had a handful of really nice saves. The way he was playing made everybody comfortable,” Gray said.

“I expect them to be pretty good,” Gray said.

“We saw them in their tournament, the first event of the year. I’m sure what we learned there doesn’t mean anything because both teams are different. ... We feel like we match up pretty well with them. If we bring our best stuff, we feel pretty good what we can do on Tuesday.”

At this time of the season, Kuhne said, “We’ve got to play harder, there’s going to be better teams, and they’re going to be out

“If we play like that, we can play with anybody,” Salazar said.

DIXON – With a smile brighter than the Friday Night Lights, and wider than the 10 yards he had just run, Dixon senior David Goken was mobbed in the back corner of the end zone.

Overwhelmed by the whole situation, all Goken could do was accept the slaps on the helmets and shoulder pads from his fellow 12th-graders.

Goken, the Dukes’ autistic team manager, spent the final home game of his senior season standing in full pads with the rest of his teammates, and served as a captain for the pregame coin toss.

Before the game, after walking out with the rest of the seniors and their parents, his classmates gave him a special gift basket and a poster of David wearing his No. 68 Dixon jersey.

But it was after the game that brought tears to the eyes of David’s parents, Matt and Lori. With the clock running down, coach Dave Smith, formerly of Princeton, gathered his other 12 seniors together on the sideline and sprung the surprise on them.

After the final horn sounded, the Rock Falls Rockets players stayed out on the field. The ball was moved to the 10-yard line, in front of the Dixon student section, and the 12 Dukes seniors jogged out on the field.

After motioning David to join them, the student section and the Dixon sideline started chants of “David! David!” Quarterback J.D. Gieson took the shotgun snap, handed the ball to Goken, and the Dukes paved a path into the end zone, with Goken running right behind them.

“Technically, it was an

“But that was so special; it was a surprise even to us, but to have David get to do something he’s never done before … that’s something we’ll all remember forever.”

After the handshakes were done with the Rockets – including many, many thanks for allowing Goken his moment to shine – Dixon players, fans and parents crowded around in a massive jumble, as the coaches looked on. Goken was in the center of it all, and got to break down the final home huddle of these seniors’ careers with an ear-splitting “Duke pride!”

“This is so crazy; look at all this,” said wideout Matt Coffey, Goken’s oldest friend. “This team, this community, David is a big part of it, and this is something he’ll never forget – none of us will, the players or coaches or parents or fans. Everybody who was here tonight has a memory that will never

Matt Goken be taken away.”

After photos of the seniors together, and the seniors with their families, Goken still couldn’t stop smiling. When asked about his feat, he raised his hands to signal touchdown.

“Happy!” he crowed.

“Dixon wins, in the playoffs!”

His dad was equally at a loss to fully comprehend the scene that had just unfolded in front of him.

“This is just awesome,” he said, wiping his eyes.

“I think he was shocked when I helped him into the pads before the game, and he’s got to be on Cloud Nine right now.

“David loves these kids, Lori and I love these kids, and there’s nothing better in the world than David getting the chance to do this with his best friends.”
