Crime rates climb

Women at the polls Gerber speaks on the women’s suffrage bill

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — This year marks the 100th anniversary since the women’s suffrage bill passed Illinois legislature – giving women the right to vote.

Among the various celebrations throughout the year to highlight this great mark in history, the Tiskilwa Historical Society, this month, invited Chicago historian Leslie Goddard to portray five famous Illinois suffragists in a program highlighting the suffrage movement.

The program was well received in Tiskilwa, and Tiskilwa Historical Society Director Cecille Gerber was pleased with the amount of education and entertainment it brought together for citizens.

Gerber recently sat down to talk about the importance of honoring the anniversary of women’s suffrage.

“I think the 99th year is just as important as the 100th year, but a lot of times an anniversary gives us an extra reason to call attention to something a lot of people don’t know much about,” she said. “It’s important for people to realize, especially young women, that (voting) wasn’t always an option.”

In 1913, Illinois women were only given the right to vote in presidential and local village official elections. Illinois was the first state east of the Mississippi River to allow this right to women.

A huge local connection to this mark in history was Sen. Hugh S. Magill, the father of the bill who had also been principal at Princeton High School.

Gerber explained the decision in 1913 was just a starting point. Women still weren’t able to vote for state Senates or House of Representatives, but it gained traction for the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

Bureau County does not follow the trend

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics show violent crime and property crime rates have risen for the second consecutive year, though at least one local statistic does not reflect that same trend.

Year 167 No. 130

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) study released last week, the violent crime rate in the United States in 2012 jumped more than 15 percent, from 22.6 victimizations per 1,000 persons in 2011 to 26.1 victimizations in 2012. The figures include estimates for rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated and simple assault.

In addition, the BJS study shows the property crime rate increased by more than 12 percent in 2012. In 2011, there were 138.7 property crimes per 1,000 households, compared to 155.8 property crimes in 2012. Property crime figures include estimates for burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft.

Unfortunately, not all crimes are reported to

Hungry for Halloween?

Anna McDonald, dressed as Dorothy from the “Wizard of Oz,” pretends to take a giant bite of eyeballs during Saturday’s Halloween party sponsored by the Ohio Public Library. The Ohio event was one of several communities hosting weekend Halloween parties for area youngsters and adults alike. Halloween festivities will continue this week with many communities having set trick-or-treat hours on Thursday evening.

PRINCETON — More than 800 pounds of unwanted and expired medicines were collected and counted during Saturday’s National Take Back prescription drug day in Bureau and Putnam counties.

On Monday, Community Partners Against Substance Abuse coordinator Dawn Conerton said 806 pounds were collected Saturday at the Princeton, Buda, Wyanet, DePue, and Granville police departments as part of the National Take Back event. Saturday’s collection included not only that day’s drop-offs but also included drugs collected during the last six months at the six Prescription Drug Disposal Program (P2D2) drop-box sites in Bureau and Putnam counties.

Since beginning the P2D2 program in July 2010, CPASA has worked with area law enforcement agencies, through the P2D2 program and Take Back days, to collect 5,149 pounds of unwanted and expired drugs, Conerton said.

“This is an amazing number,” Conerton said. “Every year, I always worry that no one will come for the Take Back days, but we opened at the Princeton Police Department at 10 a.m., and there were already people who showed up early at 9 a.m. to drop off their unwanted drugs. It was a revolving door all day. It was wonderful.”

The National Take Back event is held twice a year, in April and October, and that’s also when collections are counted from the permanent P2D2 boxes, Conerton said. The P2D2 drop-off boxes are located at the Princeton Police Department, Bureau County Sheriff’s Department Jail, Spring Valley Police Department, Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, Ladd Police Department and Walnut Police Department, she said.

The collection and proper disposal of unwanted and expired medications is important for a of couple reasons, Coner-

Reading Oasis planned for Neponset school

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews.com

NEPONSET — To highlight its Reading Week activities, Neponset Grade School will host a Family Reading Night today, Tuesday. The unique event will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the grade school gym. The theme for the event will be the Reading Oasis.

The Family Reading Night event will feature games, prizes, a book fair, family picture making and treats. Reading Week lasts from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1.

The event takes a month to prepare. Backdrops have to be painted, and teachers have to put in extra time to plan reading activities.

“We want to see all of our Bobcats and their loved ones at the event,” Neponset Grade School Principal Kevin Gunn said. “The PTA and teachers have done a great job planning to make the night more fun and enjoyable for parents and students.”

The PTA and teachers have lined up a host of events to generate interest in reading for the evening event. Storytelling by kindergarten students and first-graders with Ms. Hodge will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Other highlights of the evening include a Scholastic Book Fair and a “Make-It, Take-It” family picture frame center. The cost for the family picture and picture frame center is $5.

The teachers and PTA

Juanita Castiglia and Marty Oltman, both of Mendota, were some of the people who came to Friday night’s Wine Walk at the North End Business District in Princeton.

In addition to the Family Reading Night, other events planned throughout the week include: • Student reading to parents every night during the week.

• Dressing up in “beach” attire during school and for the Reading Night event.

• Participation in a “Stop, Drop and Read” event daily during the week before recess.

For this event, students will be paired up to read stories to each other. For example, immediately before recess, a fourth-grader might read to a second-grader.

• Participation in a class book or research project for the prekindergarten through second grade levels.

• Participation in a research project or book report for the third through eighth grade levels. are hoping for a good turnout, since all proceeds go toward paying for field trips, the purchase of supplies, and fun night expenses, Gunn said.

Funds from the Scholarship Book Fair will go toward the purchase of school books.

Students who participate in at least four events during Reading Week will be invited to attend a popcorn and movie party.

Teen driving deaths down nearly 60 percent Secretary of State Jesse White announced teen driving deaths are down nearly 60 percent in Illinois as the country recognizes National Teen Driver Safety Week Oct. 20-26.

Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program was cited as one of the contributing factors to the decline in fatalities. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were 144 teen driving deaths in 2007. Since White’s efforts to overhaul the GDL law took effect in 2008, teen driving fatalities have decreased by nearly 60 percent – with 58 teen driving deaths in 2012.

Good night for a Wine Walk

Illinois’ GDL program better prepares novice, teen drivers by giving them more time to obtain valuable driving experience while under the watchful eye of a parent or guardian, limiting in-car distractions and requiring teens to earn their way from one stage to the next by avoiding traffic convictions. State and national traffic safety organizations have praised Illinois’ stronger GDL program as one of the best in the nation.

A boost for area libraries Grant money released to help sustain local libraries’ e-Book service

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White recently presented a check in the amount of $985,219 to the Illinois Heartland Library System (IHLS) and the Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS), which will help bring improvements to the e-Book service.

According to a press release issued by White’s office, the grant funding will decrease e-Book par-

ticipation fees for member libraries and provide support and training for librarians that choose to have e-Book collections.

While the grant money won’t have a direct effect on local libraries, Princeton Public Library Director Julie Wayland explained it will be a group benefit to all RAILS member libraries who can provide e-Book services.

Wayland said the e-Book service is a great expense for most libraries because of publisher contracts that come with e-Books.

While Princeton Public Library rents e-Books for patrons, depending on the publisher of certain e-Books, the library might only be entitled to circulate a particu-

lar e-Book for a certain length of time or will only be give a certain amount of check-outs for particular e-Books.

Wayland explained the grant money will allow representatives of RAILS to approach publishers and work out better contract deals for member libraries. It could mean libraries will be able to circulate particular e-Books longer or for more times then they are currently given.

The deals worked out for RAILS member libraries will be beneficial for e-Book budgets, allowing libraries to be able to expand their e-Book collection for patrons.

The decrease in e-Book fees may also eventually help smaller libraries who currently cannot afford

e-Book services a chance to start an e-Book service for their patrons, Wayland said.

The grant is just one step to help sustain the e-Book system as a whole.

Although it’s not directly benefiting libraries, Wayland said it’s definitely an indirect benefit that embraces the e-Book technology.

“It’s more of a group benefit,” she said.

This will be a great thing for Princeton Public Library because Wayland explained e-Books get more popular each year.

“Especially after every Christmas when patrons have gotten a new handheld electronic device,” she said.

Princeton Police Officer Peg Maciejewski (from left), Tyler Wood, Morgan Wood, Amy Wood and Dawn Conerton join together in collecting unwanted and expired medicines during Saturday’s Take-Back prescription drug day at the Princeton Police Department. The police department partnered with the Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) in Saturday’s event. Representing CPASA at the Princeton Police Station were Conerton and Amy Wood. The event also took place in Putnam County as well.

CPASA From Page 1 “We are teaching people the importance of cleaning out their medicine cabinets to keep the drugs out of the wrong hands,” Conerton said.

“If you are not using the drugs or if they are

Crime From Page 1 authorities, the BJS states. In 2012, about 44 percent of violent victimizations and 54 percent of serious violent victimizations were reported to police, with about 34 percent of property victimizations reported.

Locally, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said he doesn’t think there has been any significant changes in crime rates locally during the last year. Of course, any crime rate is higher than what it should be, the sheriff said.

Suffrage From Page 1 “(Goddard’s) point was with any movement, some people say, ‘No, we want it all. We want it all or nothing.’

But what (women) came around to was let’s take this, and then we will get the next step and the next step,” she said.

In Goddard’s presentation, she highlighted just a few of the many excuses men, as well as the women against the suffrage moment, spoke out against why it was wrong for women to vote.

Many thought allow-

expired, then get rid of them. There is an expiration date on the medicines for a reason.”

Also, there are some people who may take drugs from medicine cabinets and try to sell them, or some young people may take them for their parties, she said.

Another reason for the collection and proper disposal of unwanted or expired medicines is to safeguard the environment and not flush the drugs into the water system, Conerton said.

With another successful Take Back event completed, Conerton said CPASA is appreciative

of the support of area law enforcement departments in partnering with CPASA in the Take Back and P2D2 programs.

CPASA also appreciates the residents and communities for their support of these needed programs, she said.

According to records kept by the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department, Bureau County had 90 thefts in 2012 and 109 burglaries in the 2012 year.

So far to date in 2013, Bureau County has had 63 thefts and 37 burglaries. Burglaries are when actual break-ins to buildings or vehicles occur.

Thompson said he’s somewhat surprised to see the decrease in the number of burglaries from 2012. Unfortunately, that number may increase in coming weeks as the Christmas holiday season approaches and people

may resort to crime to get things they think they may need for themselves or their families, the sheriff said.

As he has said before, national crime trends tend to start in the cities and more populated areas, but those trends typically will reach the rural areas in time, Thompson said.

As far as what people can do to protect themselves and their properties, Thompson said he would like to see people become more proactive, locking their doors and not going to the door if they don’t know the person. Also, even posting a “No Trespassing” sign

at the home or yard is a good thing to do. Having a dog in the house will notify anyone on the outside that there is a dog on the premises, which may also deter people, he said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the U.S. Justice Department, which manages the crime survey, has said one reason the recent crime rate increases seem so large is that crime has gone down during the last two decades, and current crime rates still remain at historically low levels.

ing women to vote would be “terrible” for the American family. They said women wouldn’t stay in the home; they would stop raising children; they would vote the same as their husbands, so votes would only double for a given candidate, or it would be contrary — they would vote the opposite of their husbands and cancel out votes.

Reviewing the reasons, Gerber said the ridiculous excuses still had nothing to do with the fact that women as citizens deserved the right to vote.

Looking back on her

own family history, Gerber thinks of her grandmother, who died before she was born.

Gerber’s grandmother lived during women’s suffrage.

“She lived 10 to 15 years where she couldn’t vote,” she said.

“She wasn’t able to vote until she was 37 years old.”

The funny thing for Gerber is her grandmother’s old scrapbooks, which were saved after her death included many cutouts of political humor, giving proof that some women during that time did follow political matters and showed an

interest of the political world.

The most fascinating part of the women suffrage movement for Gerber is the bravery women and men wore during the times.

“I think about how brave these women and men were to put it out there,” she said.

“Through the ridicule, the humiliation, they just believed in their cause ... There’s just a certain amount of bravery to be able to just say.

‘I don’t care what other people think; I think this is right in my heart,’” Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

She preceded him in death on Aug. 20, 1994.

He then married Beverly Meister on Sept. 20, Harry Molln 1996, in Eau Claire, Wis., and she preceded him in death on Nov. 4, 2005.

He went to grade school at the Molln Schoolhouse and graduated from Ohio High School in 1946. Harry farmed and raised livestock in the Van Orin area during his lifetime. He was a member of the First Lutheran Church of Ohio.

He is survived by two sons, Alan (Debra) Molln of LaMoille and Richard (Theresa) Molln of LaMoille; one daughter, Sandy (Joe) Carpenter of Ohio, Ill.; five grandchildren, Corinne (Jeremy) Kulik, Jessie Carpenter, Brandi Molln, Aubrey Molln and Thomas Molln; two stepgranddaughters, Jennifer (Mike) Sullivan and Melissa (Mike) Slusarek; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, both of his wives, and one brother.

Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Bache Chapel in Van Orin and from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the chapel. Funeral services will be conducted at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Bache Chapel with the Rev. Gene Vincent, pastor of the First Lutheran Church of Ohio, officiating. Burial will be in Van Orin Repose Cemetery in Van Orin.

A memorial has been established to the First Lutheran Church of Ohio.

The Garland Funeral Home in Walnut is handling the arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www. garlandfuneralhome.com.

OHIO — The Ohio High School Board met in regular session on Oct. 21 and conducted the following business: • Approved the agenda as presented, the minutes of the Sept.

30 regular meeting and budget hearing as presented, September treasurer’s report and bills and payroll.

• After discussion with the board members, the board agreed with the grade school board to wait until January to complete board training.

• Superintendent Sharon Sweger explained every five years, the school must do a waiver for driver’s education because they offer the class in the summertime. The school has done this for several years. It is very cost effective for the district and also frees up a period for the students during the school year to take a college class if needed. The board will be having a hearing at 6:30 p.m. with the regular meeting immediately following. Sweger also had a couple parents approach her concerning children’s birth dates and the timing of the school’s driver’s education class. If the school board moved it during the school year, then it would affect other students’ birth dates. Either way will be a no-win situation.

If the school moved it to second semester, it would be more costly

However, if down the line the school has a situation like this again and it’s a student who can’t afford it, the cost comes back on the district. The board decided to not change their summer driver’s education class. It has worked for years. They suggested this student take the classroom instruction at Ohio and then the behind-thewheel instruction at an outside source, so when the student is 15, they will be on track to get their license.

Sweger has contacted the school’s architect to see about including the remaining windows on life safety to assist with this grant.

The energy grant is up to $250,000. Also, scoreboards should be arriving soon. Sweger ordered new mats, which go below the baskets on each end of the gym. The schools’ current mats are in bad shape. Sweger was able to get the scoreboard cost down enough to pay for the mats. Also, the seniors have addressed Sweger with new trip revision. The sponsors going are Adam Spencer and Jordan Olson. There are only three students who have decided to go, so they are going to fly.

On Wednesday, they will go to Chicago; Thursday, fly out to Washington, D.C.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, do a lot of sightseeing; Saturday, attend a Bulls’ game; Sunday, fly back to Chicago, where they will visit Navy Pier and then attend a Blackhawks game.

They will arrive home late. Sweger approved this with the firm understanding they will all be present at school Monday morning, • In Wilt’s report to the board he said the

Also, the school is still waiting on AYP results to be released. Sweger thinks it will be the end of October or first of November.

On the street

Did someone make your costumes when you were growing up? What was your favorite one?

“My mom always made my costumes. My favorite was when I was a gorilla in a big, black fur coat.”

Annie Cole, Spring Valley

“My dad made me a rock ‘n roll flower costume when I was 9. I had a big flower pot, a guitar and big petals.”

Colette Lehn, Spring Valley

“My mom made my costumes. She made me Dorothy in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ when I was 7.”

Debra Arreguin, Spring Valley

“My mom always made my costumes. One year she made me a spider costume out of panty hose.”

Julie Dietman, Spring Valley

From the editor’s desk Well, like it or not (and I don’t), it happens this Sunday. That’s right. Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, when we “fall back” and set our clocks back one hour. Ugh! I always dread the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means for me there are several days when I never see my home in the daylight — since I leave before it gets light and come home long after it’s dark! Don’t forget ... set your clocks back Terri Simon one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, or you’ll be the first one in the pew Sunday morning.

••• I’ve been watching the fields in and around Bureau County, and it always amazes me how quickly our area farmers harvest their crops. No kidding. I go to work with full fields of corn stalks along the roadside and come home to those same cleanly-harvested fields.

I know area farmers and their families put in long hours during the harvest. I also know that’s just part of being a farmer. But I will just offer a few words of friendly advice, for what it’s worth. I have to believe area farmers are tired as they attempt to beat Mother Nature and her tricks (kind of like that surprise snow shower last Tuesday). My point to all of this is that I would encourage farmers to get some rest. An exhausted farmer behind the wheel of a large piece of equipment is not a safe farmer. We want all of our area farmers (actually farmers everywhere) to be back for another harvest. Get some rest, my friends.

••• We are actively working on the winter edition of Illinois Valley Living. If you have any feature story ideas, please feel free to send me an email at tsimon@ bcrnews.com. As always, this edition promises to be jam-packed with great stories/photos from your friends and neighbors in the Illinois Valley.

••• Halloween is nearly upon us. Last weekend saw a plethora of spooky fun all around the county, and on Thursday, nearly every town and village in Bureau County will be hosting its annual trick-or-treat event, along with more parties and fun. As always, I would caution everyone to be careful as you drive through the county on Halloween night, taking a few extra minutes to be on the lookout for young ghosts, princesses and Super Heroes who may be excited and not use great safety measures. It’s probably a good time for parents to review those words of wisdom with their youngsters — looking both ways before crossing the street, staying with a group, and not eating any candy until Mom or Day have checked each piece.

Also, you’ll want to make sure you thank the folks who are orchestrating one of the many Halloween events for area children. Those activities require a lot of effort, energy and money, and those folks deserve a good old-fashioned pat on the back! Happy Haunting!

••• Thought for the day: “I like to call it nighttime brain — the way your mind seems to function on a different frequency than it does during daylight hours — which can be good or bad but also can lead to unexpected epiphanies or experiences that wouldn’t be the same at any other time of day.” Erin Morgenstern.

Thought for tomorrow: “How lovely are the portals of the night, when stars come out to watch the daylight die.” Thomas Cole.

••• It’s difficult to believe the holidays are just a hop, skip and a jump away. As you plan your gift-giving lists, please remember to add a few names onto it, like your local food pantry, the United Way and other area toy drives, the agencies in the area who take care of our homeless and stray animals, and other benevolent causes. If we each made a small donation, I have to think it would be a better holiday for all.

••• Have a great week. Take some time for you. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@ bcrnews.com.

“Yes my mom always made our costumes. My favorite was the Princess and the Pea. I was a princess, and they decorated a wagon to look like a pea pod.”

Courtney Davis, Spring Valley

TO Letters THE Editor

Questions about Hall’s performance To the Editor, I would like to thank Superintendent Michael Struna for being candid and forthright about the “unacceptable” educational product that is being produced at Hall High School. You may hear other school officials duck and cover from their results, blaming the methodology of the survey, which by most accounts was not perfect.

As I think about the situation at Hall, many questions come to mind including: Who is to blame? Is it the superintendent, the board, the teachers, the union, and or the Hall Township community at large? Is this somebody else’s problem, or is it, in fact, everyone’s problem? If you have young children here, and you would like them to be prepared for the world,

should you be saving money to pay for tuition at a private school? Do we need more private school choices? If you have children in the school right now, and you would like them to be prepared for the world, what can you do right now? If you are a potential new business or a potential new resident to Hall Township, and you think education is important, should you be looking elsewhere? Of the kids who do make it out of Hall High School and maybe get to IVCC, how many of those families will have to spend their first tuition dollars on “remedial” classes because their children have prepared in an admittedly “unacceptable” educational environment? How many of the people who wrote letters to the editor in support of raising property taxes for new bricks and mortar are willing to be a part of the solution?

How many of the 600

people who lent their names to a newspaper ad or of the 1,300 “yes” voters think that a 21st Century building should not have a 20th Century curriculum and are willing to stand up to say so?

With 14 million Americans unemployed, and 3 million jobs unfilled because there are not enough smart people to work them, what does this say about wide sections of our American public schools? Of the regions where schools and education are succeeding, what programs are they doing there that can be copied here?

J. Burt Spring Valley

I wish ...

To the Editor, I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I am not that fortunate. I have senators who favor more spending, larger government, fewer personal liberties,

and more government control and greater fiscal burdens.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I wish my senators would buck the Washington norm, fight for personal freedoms and refuse to continue spending as though the results of voting for trillions of dollars of debt will never have a dire consequence.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I want to see senators who point out the wrongs in Washington and try to fix those wrongs, instead of thinking more, and bigger government programs will cure all ills.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I would like to see my senators support life, including life in the womb. But they don’t.

I wish either of my senators was Ted Cruz.

But they’re not.

They’re not even close.

‘You are loved’ Princeton High School’s 21st Century Community Learning Center’s Pride Club participated in the “You Are Loved” campaign Oct. 10 by creating inspirational and uplifting messages in chalk on the sidewalks surrounding the high school. The club’s main focus is to promote equality and encourage everyone to respect one another.

The club is funded by a federal grant secured by the Bureau-Henry-Stark Regional Office of Education which is used to establish and maintain after school and summer academic activities. The three year grant is expected to expire in August 2014. This was one of many events planned for the school year to promote a positive atmosphere and feeling of belonging for everyone at PHS and the community. Devin Fields, a junior at PHS, participates in the campaign.

SENECA — Hall junior Al Baldonado won the Class A regional cross country championship at Seneca Saturday. He will have company at sectionals.

Baldonado clocked a winning time of 16 minutes, 37 seconds. He’ll be joined at the Oregon Sectional by the Hall boys, who placed third as a team, and the Hall girls, who placed seventh.

Princeton qualified two individuals for the Oregon Sectional, Zoe Mead and Cody Workman.

Other individual qualifiers include St. Bede’s Jake Condon and Putnam County’s Noe Flores and Ashlyn Haage,

Baldonado beat out Henry’s Alex Pettis by five seconds, using a strong kick to claim the regional crown.

“It was a very challenging course on a windy day,” Hall coach TomKeegan said. “He was sitting in second place at the mile marker with the leader looking very strong. When they got to the two-mile, Al had closed the gap somewhat before they disappeared into the woods. It came

Mendota Sectional Championship: Somonauk 2, Princeton 0

Tigers’ run ends

By Derek Johnson bcrsports@bcrnews.com

MENDOTA — The Princeton Tigers’ goal for winning a state title was dashed Saturday evening in Mendota.

Somonauk kept the pressure on the Tigers for nearly all of the 80 minutes in the 2-0 victory to claim the Mendota Sectional championship. Princeton had 18 wins going into the sectional and had hoped to make it all the way to the state championship. Unfortunately, Somonauk’s 20-shot effort was too much for Princeton.

“They did a nice job putting pressure on us. I thought our defense played very well. There

“The ball is going to bounce around in there. We had our share of those go our way this year, and tonight they didn’t.”

• PHS coach Jason Bird were a couple of unlucky bounces but that is part of the game. We got a couple of lucky bounces the other night and sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don’t. We had some opportunities,” PHS coach Jason Bird said.

“Give credit to Somonauk. Hopefully they will do well on Tuesday and continue to advance,” Somonauk (22-2) got on the board with 19:41 left in the first half on what appeared to be an own goal by the Tigers. Luke Enders was credited with the score.

“The ball is going to bounce around in there. We had our share of those go our way this year, and tonight they didn’t,” Bird said.

Somonauk added its second goal with just under six minutes left in the game with a Josh Smith goal. Princeton did not have any of their 12 shots find paydirt.

he was really surprised when they got the word during a family dinner from assistant coach Mark Siebert the Bruins had made it.

“I know personally I did (lost hope). I don’t know about the coaches, if they had the math figured out. I was fairly confident we weren’t going to make it,” he said.

Now, it doesn’t matter who they play, “as long as we’re in,” Michael Bellino said. “We’ve got a second chance; got to play your heart out.”

Storm gets a boost from Taylor, Weidner

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — The return of ace runners Ryan Taylor and Regan Weidner into the Bureau Valley lineup proved to be a big boost for the Storm in Saturday’s 1A cross country regional they hosted.

Both the boys (third) and girls (fourth) squad qualified for this week’s sectional.

Amboy/LaMoille also got both of its squads out.

“With the boys having Ryan back, and the girls having Regan back, it seemed to be a psychological boost to the team. Hopefully we can carry that through to next week,” BV coach Dale

Somonauk was unrelenting on both sides of the ball allowing them to make the most of their fortunes.

Bird mentioned his team set the bar very high, and they should expect to be in regional and sectional games in the future. He, however, won’t be a part of that future.

Bureau Valley’s Riley Francis keeps pace in Saturday’s regional race at Walnut.

Storm

From Page 13 Newman won just its second regional championship. Its first came in 2009 when it went on to win the Class 1A State title.

The top runners for Bureau Valley were Taylor (12th, 17:23), Daniel Trone (13th, 17:25) and Kane Eastwood (18th, 17:44), Kody Church (27th, 18:10) and Andrew Smith (29th, 18:12).

“Our boys ran a strong race, but we feel our best race is still in front of us,” Donner said. “We understand the difficulty of the course at Oregon, but feel we have put the work in this year to be prepared and advance.”

Annawan-Wethersfield junior Michael Cook won in 15:57.

The BV girls took fourth (112) in a field headed by Annawan/Wethersfield (33), Rock Falls (103) and IVC (106).

Amboy/LaMoille placed fifth (134).

Donner said his girls simply “ran awesome,” finishing only nine points out of second place, as the top finishing team from the Three Rivers. Weidner head the Storm pack, finishing 17th in 21:28.

She was joined by 21st. Katelin Johnson 21:49, 29th Helena Arnadottir 22:33.3, 30th Veronica Riggen 22:33.6, 32nd Riley Francis 22:45, 36th Heather Williams 23:07 and 38th Kelly Sierens 23:14.

“I am very proud of how they competed today. They have put in a lot of hard work and it is starting to pay off,” he said.

Weidner hadn’t competed since the Princeton Invitational in mid-September due to a stress fracture. Last year’s Class 1A state runner-up finished 17th with a time of 21:28.

“It was rough, but it could have been worse,” Weidner said.

Weidner has no illusions about what the next two weeks might hold. She’ll simply do her best at sectional, and then again at state, if she makes it that far. The top priority, however, is to be healthy next year as a senior.

“I don’t think this year will be anywhere close to next year,” Weidner said. “I’m just going to do what I can, hope for the best and believe in myself.”

Bureau Valley’s Colton Peterson (161) and Andrew Smith (160) keep close during Saturday’s regional race at Walnut.

Leading the way for Amboy was freshman Megan Grady, who placed third with a time of 19:41. She was bested by a pair of Annawan-Wethersfield runners, Kirstie Ramsey (19:04) and Kaitlyn Cline (19:37).

Grady, the Three Rivers Conference individual champ, admitted to some pre-race jitters.

“I was really nervous, and I felt really sick during it,” Grady said. “I was really light-headed, but I finished. I was like, ‘I can’t walk.’ I had Italian food last night, and I won’t do that again before a race.

I felt pretty crummy, so I was amazed how I did when I felt that way.”

Hall (109) finished third behind El Paso-Gridley (51) and Sandwich (94). The top seven teams advance. Also kicking in key points for Hall were Sandro Aldana (3rd, 19:01), Tyler Pullam (23rd, 19:16), Rosy Fuentes (26th, 19:31) and Christian Garcia (34th, 19:35).

Workman was the lone runner to compete for the PHS boys and he delivered, placing 19th with a time of 19:01 to qualify as the fourth individual.

Flores (12th, 18:15) and Condon (17th, 18:54) will join Workman as individual qualifiers.

Mead advanced as the second individual qualifier for the girls, placing 13th in 21:49. She qualified for sectionals for the fourth time.

“Zoe looked a little out of sync, but was able to battle through it enough to earn her fourth sectional trip,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

“Although today wasn’t our best day, I was proud of all our girls, most of them trying cross country for the first time and seeing it through as far as they could.”

The Hall girls claimed the seventh and final berth with 193 points. Scoring for Hall were Kaylee Olivares (25th, 23:34), Amelia Moreno (35th, 24:28), Becca Herrmann (41st, 25:18), Brittany Foster (43rd, 25:45) and Linnea Lee-Brown (49th, 26:29).

How to find a complementary medical provider When the time comes to find a traditional doctor, many people find the process to be relatively easy. Some doctors may be recommended by a friend, while others opt for a physician that has been treating their families for years. Certain health management and insurance plans may dictate certain “in-plan” providers, searchable by a particular location and practice. Finding an alternative medical pro-

vider, or one who specializes in complementary medicine, may not be as simple.

Practitioners who provide complementary and alternative medicine, known as CAM, are those who specialize in chiropractics, naturopathy, acupuncture and herbal remedies. Millions of people now see CAM providers in addition to their standard physicians.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-

vices estimates that at least 40 percent of adults and 12 percent of children have used a CAM provider.

Complementary and alternative medicine is made up of a diverse set of therapies and healing philosophies. While traditional doctors may treat illnesses, many CAM providers are employing techniques to prevent illnesses in the first place.

Dissatisfaction with traditional medicine has led many people to seek the help of CAM providers.

In fact, a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the majority of alternative medicine

users appear to be doing so largely because “they find these healthcare alternatives to be more congruent with their own values, beliefs and philosophical orientations toward health and life.”

Men and women can find a CAM provider is several ways.

• Start with your doctor or another health care provider, who may offer a referral, particularly if this doctor is in favor of traditional medicine working in conjunction with alternative therapies.

• Some regional medical centers and hospitals may have CAM practitioners on staff. You can

seek information from such organizations by calling them directly or going online to see a listing of staff.

• There are a number of professional organizations for CAM providers.

An online search may yield various organizations that offer regional referrals.

• Contact state, provincial or municipal regulatory licensing boards for health care professionals. Health departments and boards may have information on nearby practitioners.

• To meet the rising demand for complementary and alternative care services, many health

insurance plans have options for you to access these services. However, many plans provide only limited coverage for many CAM services.

• Referrals from friends and family members may yield the name of an effective local CAM practitioner.

Individuals should keep in mind that unless CAM services are covered by insurance, it is very likely that all expenses will be out-of-pocket.

When searching for a specialist, be sure to find one who is qualified and verify his or her training, certifications and licensing before beginning any treatment.
