The most taxing responsibilities Princeton Elementary School Board receives positive audit results despite minimal funding

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — With vice president Doris Hamilton serving as president pro tem, the Princeton Elementary School (PES) Board heard from the district auditor Monday, Oct. 26, and discussed other relevant financial matters as well.

Samantha Casey of Hopkins and Associates opened the meeting by presenting the audit to the board, indicating everything looked good on the audit. She said state aid decreased in all local districts this year, including PES No. 115, and attendance level went down minimally.

Due to losing Reagan Middle School, Casey said expenses for instruction, special education, operations and maintenance, salaries and bus transportation all decreased for the district. Fuel and transportation significantly decreased due to fuel prices going down throughout the last 12 months.

Casey said cash balances for the district remained pretty consistent, except for the working cash fund (WCF), as district Superintendent Tim Smith shared the WCF at the end of September was just under $100,000, compared to $1,327,000 at the end of September 2014, due to necessary assistance toward the education fund.

The cash on hand at the end of September in all funds was a little under $3,000,000 compared to just less than

$4,100,000 last year.

“Last year the state had pretty much everything paid out by June 30, but money due from state went up quite a bit this year,” Casey said, an unfortunate circumstance all local districts are experiencing.

Smith noted money due from the state on Oct. 30 was $364,372, with close to $271,000 due to the education fund. In light of the obvious strain the state of Illinois is currently putting on its schools through their financial efforts, or lack thereof, Smith shared some lighter statistics with his colleagues.

“On the revenue side of the budget, we’ve collected about 36.48 percent of revenue due at 25 percent of the way through the fiscal year, yet on the expense side we’re at 19.64 percent expended,” he said, indicating PES has the highest enrollment but the lowest operating expenses in the area.

Bureau Valley School Board sets meeting to discuss facilities

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — After a three-month hiatus on deliberation concerning the district’s facilities study, the Bureau Valley Board has set a date to continue discussion at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.

At the Tuesday, Oct. 27, meeting, board member Kent Siltman questioned previous meeting dates board President Rick Cernovich and Superintendent Stephen Endress had set without asking for input from other board members.

Cernovich said it was approved at a previous meeting a date would be set

sometime after Sunday, Nov. 1. Siltman said in the past, the board had been surveyed with a couple dates for these sorts of meetings to see what works for everybody. He added the date set by Cernovich and Endress would not work for him.

Cernovich agreed he wanted every board member at the meeting, and the board decided Nov. 16, would be a night that would work for everyone’s schedule.

Siltman also asked about the agenda items that would be discussed that evening. Cernovich said without talking specifics, the agenda would probably state,

Police pensions Spring Valley Police Pension Board looks to become more aggressive with investments

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council on Monday, Oct. 26, agreed to transfer police pension funds from Spring Valley City Bank to Heartland Bank and Trust, as recommended by the Police Pension Board.

Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston said throughout the last year the pension board has been discussing different financial institutions and investment advisers. The board would like to increase the different types of

• Private or Companion Suites • Private Bathroom • Recreational Activities • Delicious Meals • Emergency Call System

investments and become more aggressive in their investing with the overall hope the city’s tax levy would be reduced.

“Our pension system is one of the few in the state that is very healthy,” Sangston said. “So we were in the position where we went and hired Heartland Bank and Trust to manager our money and be our adviser; the goal long term is to keep it solvent and reduce the pension liability on the taxpayers.”

Home-grown horrors Walnut farm is all dressed up for Halloween

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

WALNUT — Driving along Route 92, just east of Walnut, travelers will approach a farmstead surrounded by ghouls, ghosts, witches, a graveyard, torture chambers and more.

The eerie residence is home to Lisa and Skip Sturtevant and their more than 270 Halloween mannequin displays.

For more than 15 years, the Sturtevants have spooked up their rural yard with all sorts of wicked, unearthly characters.

What started as fun Halloween decor for their children to enjoy each year, has exploded into an attraction that draws people from all over the area looking to get a glance at the Halloween spirit.

Skip is quick to say Lisa is the brains behind the creative creations. She is the mastermind behind the yard displays which include all sorts of themes including a ghostly football team, a wicked news camera crew, a haunted beauty shop, a frightening pizza restaurant, a witches hut complete with a cauldron, a spine-tingling daycare center, a pet cemetery and much, much more.

Lisa said there really isn’t one thing that inspires her creations, but more she just likes to take everyday scenes of life and

“ghoul” them up.

Throughout the year, Lisa collects all sorts of odds and ends for the creative details she adds to her Halloween mannequins.

She finds many of her props at thrift stores, garage sales, items people have thrown to the curb, auctions and more.

The time spent thinking and planning for the displays throughout the year is totally worth it to the Sturtevants, as they enjoy watching visitors come from all over to see their creations.

Lisa said in October, weekends are crazy for them, as a steady stream of visitors come to see their ghoulish creatures.

Skip said their home offers another options to those who may not like going to haunted houses or spook walks. He said they can come and check out displays less scarier than something that might jump out and grab at them.

When the sun goes down on the Sturtevant farm, the fun continues as they keep their spectacle lit up and play Halloween-themed music to set the tone for the spooky scenery.

To see some of the displays, check out the Facebook page at Haunted Sturtevant Farm.

Lisa and Skip Sturtevant pose with one of the doctors attending to patients of the Sturtevant Haunted Farm’s macabre hospital area. Each themed area is constructed with great attention to detail and a fiendish sense of humor. Admission is free, but donations are welcomed.

attorney Jim Andreoni said one of his partners in his law office has been retained by someone to represent them in a criminal matter pending in Bureau County that was investigated by Spring Valley Police. Andreoni said because of his position as city attorney his partner cannot work on the case unless the client and the city council both acknowledge and waive the conflict of interest. Andreoni said the client had also signed the waiver. Andreoni confirmed he does not prosecute this case; it is prosecuted by the Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office.

“discussion regarding the survey and discussion and possible action regarding the facilities study.”

Siltman questioned why discussion would only revolve around buildings, and not on the well being of the district, curriculum and finance. Cernovich said he didn’t have a problem with discussing those items, however, he pointed out the board is under a time constraint. Siltman disagreed and questioned the time constraint.

“Not as long as you want to keep sending people to that hole in the south,” Cernovich said. “We need to do something about the south building. It’s always been the question, ‘What are we going to do in the south.’”

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com Cernovich said the board knows what they aren’t going to do in the north (Walnut building), but still needs to figure out what they are going to do in the south (Buda building).

“I think we just keep it (the meeting) focused, so we are not there all night,” he said.

It was also mentioned the meeting could run into the following evening on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Endress pointed out the board would not be able to discuss any new items on Tuesday, however, it could continue discussion on items that had been posted on the agenda for the Monday, Nov. 16, meeting.

Pomp ... and circumstances BV graduation dates set; junior high ceremonies will remain separate

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

Also on Tuesday, Oct. 27, the board agreed to set graduation dates for eighth grade promotion and high school graduation.

Dates for the graduation ceremonies will not conflict with Memorial Day weekend this year.

BV South will be at 7 p.m. Friday, May 20; BV North will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 21; and the high school graduation will be at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 22.

While the board had previously discussed combining the junior high graduations into one ceremony, the board on Tuesday voted to keep them separate.

Superintendent Stephen Endress said a survey had been sent out to the junior high teachers and eighth grade students to get a feel on what they thought about combining the graduations.

Endress said 45 percent of staff and students were in support of combining the ceremonies, and 55-60 percent preferred to keep the ceremonies separate.

Board member Don DeWaele said he didn’t think the

junior highs were ready to combine the graduations, and board member Kent Siltman said he had talked with community members and they didn’t see the need to combine the graduations at this point either.

However, board member Justin Yepsen said he was on the other side of it, as he had talked with people in support of combining the junior high graduations.

He commented it was probably the same people who wanted to put the junior high together anyway.

Board vice president Don King suggested, for the future, the junior high school principals put a committee together to come up with a way to combine future graduations ceremonies.

“I think if you get the right people together, you can come up with that for next year,” he said.

Siltman motioned to continue to keep graduations the traditional way where they fall on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the weekend before Memorial Day. The board voted 6-1 with Yepsen being the lone vote.

The board did agree on moving the junior high graduations ceremonies to the high school gymnasium for a more comfortable setting with air conditioning.

Princeton Elementary From Page 1 The expense per pupil in the PES District is $8,686, compared to the state average of $11,447, and Casey said PES is doing very well with what it’s been given. The per pupil tuition has also decreased compared to the previous two years, and Smith complemented Hopkins and Associates as a “joy to work with” who always brings great peace when the district is dealing with financial matters.

School board member Steve Bouslog commented on tax rates discussed during the recent finance committee meeting. Princeton has a 4.89 percent tax rate, compared to Malden, 5.86 percent; Bureau Valley, 6.04 percent; Ohio, 6.28 percent; and Spring Valley, 7.34 percent.

“From a tax rate standpoint we are considerably less than our neighbors, so we’re spending less per student, but we’re also taking in a lot less on the tax rate,” Bouslog said.

Watching The Game From Heaven It seems like yesterday I was sitting with my mom watching a sport event, either it was for her children, grandchildren or else their friends. She would be so proud of you fine young men on the Tiger Football Team. I know she is watching you fine young men cheering you on and ringing her cow bell. She loved going and watching all of the sports events, and loved everyone of you. She would go every Friday at the football games with her Tiger ears on and her cow bell. She was one of the true number one Tiger fans. If you ask me she has the best seat in the house, watching and cheering from up above. So Mom, keep cheering and ringing that cow bell for all of the fine young men. Go Tigers and Good Luck!!

Climbing the Walls At last Halloween is almost here, one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves change into a variety of beautiful colors; the weather gets cooler; and I will soon get that hour back that was so cruelly taken from me in the spring. It always irritates me that I lose one hour of sleep when that hour is taken from us. At my age, I need all the sleep I can get; and I dread the possibility of passing away before I get that hour back in the fall.

One dark night many years ago, I Tami remember my parMcCracken ents were driving us through Amboy.

Crawley I must have been 4 years old, and my COMMENTARY brother Mike was 2.

Mom pointed out the window and said, “Look, there goes a witch!” I stared as we drove past that witch and was a little scared.

After all, if Mommy said that was a witch, it must be true. Years later, I would realize that it must have been Halloween night, and that witch had been out trick or treating. Maybe if I had not had that hour of sleep taken from me in the spring of that year, I would have realized it had been Halloween that night a lot sooner.

I bet everyone reading this is now thinking how dense could you be? I would like to take a moment to defend myself. My parents had not mentioned anything about kids going out to trick or treat or dressing in costumes to get candy. I would have remembered that and asked a zillion times, “Is it Halloween yet?” Also, we had no TV with hundreds of commercials to remind us that Halloween was almost here. We lived on a farm; no one had ever come to our house trick or treating. Being the oldest, I did not have an older sibling to fill me in on all the upcoming excitement of Halloween.

The following year, all of that changed, however. I was 5 and attending morning kindergarten. The teacher talked about Halloween, and I hurried home to inform my parents all about it. I also told them I needed a costume. My mother did not sew. That meant a trip to the local dimestore, one of my favorite places. Of course, Mike was now 3 and benefited from my newly-found Halloween knowledge. I told him we would be getting candy just for knocking on people’s doors and yelling out, “Trick or treat!”

Yup, we were ready when Halloween night arrived.

I don’t remember for sure what costume Mike wore; probably a cowboy outfit. I was dressed in a sparkly Cinderella costume. I remember being quite proud and excited.

Mom explained we wouldn’t go out to trick or treat until it got dark. Finally, the moment arrived. She gave us each a little brown paper bag. We all climbed into our Chevy and away we were off to our first house.

I was surprised when Dad backed the car out of our driveway, drove several yards and turned into my grandparents’ farmyard. We got out of the car. At this point, Mom said not to run. She must have been telling that to my brother. It couldn’t have been directed at me since I was just taking big steps as I walked. Maybe that’s when I developed my fast-walking technique. I still walk that way 63 years later.

We knocked on the farmhouse door and instantly began giggling. Grandma McCracken came to the door and exclaimed, “My goodness! Who do we have here?”

So I told her. Then she pulled something out of a bowl and put one in each of our bags. Our parents reminded us to thank her and then we were off on our merry way — all the way back to our house. What was going on here? Mom said it was getting late and that I had school the next morning. But she said we could eat the treat Grandma gave us. I looked in the bag and pulled out – an apple. I checked what Mike had in his bag – an apple. No candy for us on our first Halloween going trick or treating.

So, I bit hard into my apple; immediately panic and fear overwhelmed me. One of my top front baby teeth had come out of my mouth and was stuck in my apple.

I began to cry. What was happening? Halloween was no fun at all. I remember getting ready for bed and not finishing my apple. But now, I had something else new to think about. The Tooth Fairy was coming tonight for the first time to our house. Life went on ... ​ Tami McCracken Crawley is a mother of nine and avid quilter living in Henry.

Chasing a tiger’s tale I remember, fellas.

I remember begging my sister to come out into the yard with me — a pigskin dipped in brown spiral was our elected weapon of choice. I would tell her to launch it into the atmosphere with fuel and fire, sending a rocket toward the orbits hovering above. I would fly like a meteor tossed across the cosmos, only the tips of my toes finding contact upon the blades of grass, outpacing the very frame of my body with two eyes glued on the lunar descent. Arms stretched further than time itself, I hurled toward the horizon in search of Zion becoming under the float.

Then I would toss the football back, and prepare for the next moment of horizontal explosion.

I remember Jerry Rice and the miles of ground he covered like a stallion in open field, a streak of crimson gold shining brightly across the unfolded turf — the way he made the earth stand still with two hands and the finest eye coordination any receiver has ever encountered. I remember Barry Sanders and the times he would leave his body behind his legs, along with a dozen defenders, in a silhouette of smooth that water would be hard-pressed to mimic.

He didn’t run so much as reinvent the physics of movement.

I remember playing my team’s archrival between the lights of a Friday night and the lines of paydirt. I remember cutting right and

Eric Engel COMMENTARY juking left, and turning to find the heavens having fallen into my chest. I remember looking up field as a planet might glance upon outer space, with nothing between me and Point B but the acceleration of every muscle in my body. I remember losing that game, and yet celebrating a victory still, my every effort lying somewhere inside the hundred yards between.

Every game has a winner, and every game has a loser. It’s how society defines our existence, with notions of superior and subpar development. Yet what roar comes from the tiger on the pinnacle of cliff, but one unique to the wave of echo as it ripples across the ages.

You have all evolved past who you were before this season began. Initial expectations wandered away to pout in the corner of what should be many weeks ago, and yet current conclusions remain to maintain balance during the accession toward the highest ring of the ladder. If you care to listen I offer a word ...

Remember every backyard and playground you skated across

like a leopard that would not be tangled in the enemy’s trenches.

Remember the lesson of every loss, not for the bitter taste of defeat, but for the rich tickle of knowledge upon your tongue that we are young, and we will stumble as we learn to stand.

Remember to be representatives of the generations before you who paved the way for you to earn every inch of success you deserve.

As alone we ne’er travel the long road home, remember you got here together.

We are all very proud of you.

Not because you are undefeated because life knows not the definition of that term. Not because you have accomplished something great because you have just begun to emerge, like icebergs from the water. We are proud because you won’t toss away a broken clock that slips toward triple zero, and because you have taken age out of the equation of integrity. We are proud of you because regardless the outcome of any coming contest, we witness you continuing a beginning without end.

Remember the kingdom in front of you has always been built from what’s behind.

You have already won, gentlemen. Now go out there and play the game you have always loved.

We will be the roar beside you.

TO Letter THE Editor

Pride on the front page To the Editor, I am writing in regards to the Princeton Tigers. We have a team that has succeeded in making history with a 9-0 series of games. It is really a shame we don’t have a town paper that recognizes our team on the front page of the sports section. I think you need to rethink your choice of teams you put on the front page of the sports page. I don’t think that’s asking too much of the town paper. We should be proud of our boys.

A job ... a chance To the Editor, The BCR editorial Oct. 24 took exception to former Gov. George Ryan’s recent proposal that people who have been in prison should not be labeled felons for the rest of their lives. In Ryan’s case, there is little question that he will be remembered (and well past his lifetime) as a convicted felon who served time for corruption. At 81, he is probably not seeking a job, but there are thousands of other formerly incarcerated people who are, and it’s tough going.

The editorial acknowledged that “society expects ex-offenders to reintegrate by going straight and getting jobs.” Then it asked, “Do we make it unnecessarily hard for them to do so when labeling them felons?” and then never answered the question. Rather it shifted to the employer’s “right” and “duty” to know the criminal background of job applicants: “What’s past is prologue, after all.”

For sure, if ex-offenders have virtually no chance of being considered for employment, the chance of re-offending increases. Fortunately, Illinois and 18 other states have now passed what is known as a “Ban the Box” law. The Illinois law, which became effective Jan. 1, prohibits employers from asking

about a person’s criminal background on the initial application.

Under the new law, a person with a nonviolent drug offense conviction, for example, has a shot at a job. If the applicant reaches the interview phase, the employer has the right then to ask about any criminal background and decide whether to hire the person.

Significantly, there is now growing bipartisan political support for not incarcerating people for most nonviolent drug offenses and for drastically reducing prison sentences. There is also growing recognition that those who come out of prison should not have a life sentence of exclusion but a genuine chance to rejoin the larger society. A job is often that chance.

Taxes in Illinois To the Editor, Which state has the highest taxes in the Midwest? Not Illinois, that’s for sure.

The Illinois Policy Institute is claiming otherwise, citing “recent research.” But that research was actually based on tax collections from Fiscal Year 2013, when the Illinois state income tax rate was 5 percent. Today – in Fiscal Year 2016, more than two years later – the state income tax rate has dropped to 3.75 percent. So if you look at tax collections in the first six months of this year, under the new rate, Illinois’ state taxes collections come out to $1,597 per person – more than $60 lower than Wisconsin’s $1,661. That’s just a fact.

But beyond that basic inaccuracy, that letter simply ignored some fundamental facts about state taxes – the first being that comparing state tax burdens is like trying to compare apples and mashed potatoes.

Take Indiana. Their income tax

rate is a flat 3.3 percent — which looks pretty good next to Illinois, right? But in Indiana, almost every county imposes its own income tax – which can range up to almost 3 percent, for a total income tax rate of 6.3 percent. That’s a whopping 68 percent higher than Illinois!

And while it’s true that people in Illinois pay more in income taxes, per person, than people in Missouri, there’s a very good reason for that: We make more money.

The average per capita income in Illinois is $29,666 – above the national average, and substantially higher than the Missouri per capita income of $25,649. So if you want to move to Missouri and pay less, remember that’s because you’re likely to make less.

Then there’s the huge issue of comparing Illinois’ regressive flat income tax rate with our neighboring states’ progressive rates. In Wisconsin, people in the highest income bracket pay a top rate of 7.65 percent. Iowans pay almost 9 percent on taxable income over $68,000. And people in Minnesota pay a hefty 9.85 percent on taxable income of $154,951 and above.

Here’s the real point – when you start cherry-picking statistics on state tax rates, you can prove just about anything you want. The real task is figuring out the best, fairest way for a state government to raise the revenues necessary to pay for the services that its people demand. And you can’t develop smart, effective tax policy based on a misleading, simplistic and out-ofdate chart.

But if you could, I’d choose one from the Tax Foundation (that same place that Illinois Policy Institute cited) that ranked the combined state and local tax burden in every state. Illinois comes in at No. 13 – compared with Wisconsin, which had the fifth-highest tax burden in the nation.

Religion brief — Area churches and organizations have announced upcoming events.

See Page 8.

Princeton DAR chapter celebrates 125 years PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Oct. 2 at the Prouty Building and celebrated the 125th birthday of the National Society, founded on Oct. 11, 1890. The chapter’s Celebrate 125! Commemoration project was to collect 125 items for the Bureau County Food Pantry.

The collection went well over 125 items. A total of 210 pounds of food and paper items were donated.

The Oct. 2 meeting was called to order by Regent Diana Williamson, who shared a binder of awards received by the chapter at the 2015 state convention.

Vietnam Commemoration Chairman Beverly Larson announced that there will be a display for Veterans Day at the Princeton Library.

The brother of a chapter member and Korean War-era veteran will participate in Honor Flight from Moline in late October. Visits to monuments in Washington, D.C., will be enjoyed by the Honor Flight group. The Princeton-Illinois chapter donates to Honor Flight annually.

Darius Miller Park is being renovated so the chapter’s conservation project of clean-up there each month is on hiatus.

The chapter voted to donate a U.S. flag to the new Hall High School and will also present a U.S. flag to the lodge at Starved Rock State Park in a ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 7, with participation by State Regent Sharon Frizzell and Illinois Flag of the U.S.A. chairman Catherine Humphrey.

On Saturday, Oct. 10, chapter members attended the District II

meeting in LaSalle, presided over by chapter member and District II Director Sharon Bittner. Following the meeting, District II members traveled to the LaSalle Veterans Home to deliver donations and to play bingo with the veterans.

The Oct. 2 program involving all members was “125 Memories of DAR.” Members shared their favorite memories involving their membership in the Princeton-Illinois chapter, Illinois State Society and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

The next meeting will be a joint meeting with Illini Chapter from Ottawa on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Lock 16 Café in LaSalle with guest speaker State Regent Sharon Frizzell. Attendees should arrive by 10 a.m. for registration.

Clara Madison will celebrate 100th birthday An open house to celebrate the 100th birthday of Clara Woods Madison of Princeton will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Bureau Township Church on the Wyanet-Walnut blacktop.

together until his death in 1991.

She is the mother of Marcia (Gary) Madison-Crothers of Chillicothe and Alan (Janice) Madison of Walnut. She also has four grandchildren and one deceased grandchild, 12 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

All family and friends are invited to attend the open house. Cards and well wishes can be sent to: 19917 1550 East St., Princeton, IL 61356.

Trick or treat hours will be from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. After trick or treat, there will be a hayrack ride starting at the Manlius Fire Department.

Thanks Neighbor Thank you to our law enforcement Many thanks to those who braved the cold to come to Soldiers and Sailors Park to thank our law enforcement in Bureau County for all they do. It took a lot of work to organize the event and all who attended had a good time. We hoped for better attendance — so where were you? For those who failed to show up that were in town and could have been there — shame on you! Our law enforcement will continue doing their jobs and we appreciate that very much. When you see them around town, be sure to shake their hand and say “thanks.”

Sunday, Nov. 1, at the LaSalle-Peru Matthiessen Memorial Auditorium. This concert will continue the orchestra’s cultural theme for the season by featuring distinguished trumpet player Mark Ponzo, professor of music at Northern Illinois University.

Ponzo is principal trumpet of the Fox Valley Orchestra and Antiqua Baroque Consort, and a member of the Rochester Philharmonic orchestra, the Mexico City Philharmonic and Syracuse Symphony Orchestra. He played solo coronet player with the New Sousa Band and Illinois Brass Band and has performed with the Chicago Symphony

Orchestra.

In addition to his performance activities, Ponzo publishes through Balquhidder/Carl Fisher, Charles Colin Music Publications and the Buccine Press. His publications include 26 method books, 16 solo transcriptions and two unaccompanied works for trumpet. He is a busy recitalist, doing an average of 40 full recitals each year, performing at most of the nation’s finest music schools. He presents recitals on the cornet, baroque trumpet and modern-valved instruments.

Ponzo will perform Concerto in C Minor by Benedetto Marcello, originally written for oboe.

The concert title, Dia De Los Muertos, means a Mexican holiday, with origins

dating back to well before 1492. It is a day of remembrance to invite departed loved ones to be amongst us again. Día de los Muertos on Nov. 1 coincides with All Saints Day on Nov. 2 in Western liturgical churches. Exciting selections by Spanish composers will be included in the program.

La Boda de Luis Alsonso composed by Geronimo Gimenez y Bellido will be a light and lively contribution to this concert for a Mexican celebration.

“We are involved in the community,” she said. “We like to put smiles on faces and make a difference.”

Swanson-Hullinger started the business in 2007 with herself and niece, Alison Joiner. She later on added Allen Higgins, who has since moved onto other interests. She has added other employees in the last two years.

“We played karaoke at Crown Lanes for the last eight years and had our last gig there on July 31,” she recounted. “It was bittersweet. We loved being out there, and it was nice to have all ages there. We do miss the kids. We now play at Skooner’z on Friday nights. We have exciting things coming up.”

Hit Clips, which now has two crews, played at Witch-

es Night Out Oct. 16 with its new sound equipment and new lighting system.

Employees can choose from 250,000 DJ titles and 50,000 karaoke titles.

“It is very rewarding.

We joined the Chamber in 2014. We played for casino night, the Chamber’s main fundraiser. We donate our time for fundraisers,” she said.

Jill, who has 40-plus years in the music business, feels the best way to express herself and make others feel good is through music, a huge stress reliever for her.

Swanson-Hullinger remembers performing when she was 9 years old with her family. “My mom was tone deaf, while my dad was an excellent musician,” she said.

Since then, Swanson-Hullinger has played in several local bands like Clear Creek, Battle Creek and Backbone Road and did the promotions and bookings for these bands throughout the years.

Jill’s first husband died from brain cancer in January 2006. “He was a bass player, and we were married for 18 years.” she added.

Two years after he died,

Dixon Regional: Rock Falls def. PHS 25-16, 25-22

Rockets take down Tigresses

By Ty Reynolds Shaw Media Service

DIXON – Communication is key in any sport, and that was evident Tuesday during the Class 3A Dixon Regional volleyball semifinals.

The Rock Falls Rockets rolled through Game 1 against Princeton, then had to fight to pull out Game 2.

In the end, though, the fourth-seeded Rockets downed the fifth-seeded Tigresses 25-16, 25-22 to advance to Thursday’s championship match against top-seeded LaSalle-Peru.

“It was really good for us to come out and get the lead right away,” Rock Falls senior Bailey O’Brien said, “and we were all talking a lot and had a lot of energy. That second game, we were thinking ‘Oh, we got this,’ and we didn’t pick it up and start talking again until the very end.”

Princeton coach Andy Puck said the Tigrresses confidence level dropped a level during the match.

“Confidence is everything, and ours dropped for awhile there tonight,” Puck said. “We couldn’t pass it in system and set up our offense until the end, and Rock Falls was just dynamite, playing to the whistle and just believing every time they step on the floor that they’re going to win – and that makes a difference.”

O’Brien put Rock Falls (25-11) in control, slamming 10 of her matchhigh 13 kills in Game 1. She had five kills and an ace to help turn a 6-6

Alana Cherry makes a hit for LaMoille/Ohio Tuesday against Annawan.

KEWANEE — How your team finishes during regional play often times isn’t a reflection of an entire season as the LaMoille/ Ohio Lady Lions and head coach Hallie May found out the hard way.

A strong season came to a swift end for the third seeded Lady Lions, who fell 25-10, 25-23 at the hands of the fifth seeded Annawan Bravettes Tuesday, Oct. 27, in the Wethersfield 1A Regional.

“I just told the girls our season isn’t defined by tonight because they expected to win so I don’t know if they can really wrap their heads around that just yet and I can’t really just yet either, but we won 20 games for the first time in really a long time,” May said.

L/O led by four in the second game of the night at 17-13 but the Bravettes scraped together a 23-23 tie on the back of Annawan’s hard swinging senior hitter Taylor Shaw before scratching out two more points

Playoffs have been something Hall football fans live for and what Princeton fans have longed for. They will all have their desires fulfilled this weekend.

Both teams will take a step into the Lincoln Trail Conference for their 2015 playoff openers.

Princeton takes a 9-0 record, the first time in school history, up against ROWVA Mid-County (5-4) at 7 p.m. Friday at Bryant Field.

Hall (7-2) will welcome another Lincoln Trail opponent, Monmouth United (6-3), at 1 p.m.

Saturday at Nesti Stadium in Spring Valley.

Mid-County at Princeton (3A): It’s been 12 years since PHS last made the playoffs and 13 years since it last had a home playoff game. Tiger fans are more than ready.

It is simply Phase 10 for the Tigers, which quarterback Jake Reinhardt reiterated Saturday night would start up Monday morning. They’ve maintained a game-by-game, week-by-week approach under fourth-year coach Jesse Snyder, who has turned a program in the depths of a 21-game losing streak to an undefeated season, a No. 5 state ranking and a No. 2 playoff seed.

“It’s just about preparing. It’s a different season.

Now it’s win or go home,”

Snyder said. “We’ve got to continue to prepare just like we have all year long, but now we’ve really got to be fundamentally sound, got to be physical, got to do all the little things right to be successful.”

The Tigers will face a Mid-County team, Snyder said, which runs the ball very well and looks to establish the running game, in particular, Garrett Wright. The 6-foot,

Stevens delivers hard-hitting message to Tigers When it comes to motivation, Princeton Tiger football coach Jesse Snyder does not need much help.

He is a master of motivation, a coach who truly can get his team to run through a brick wall for him.

But all good coaches are not afraid to bring in some extra help from time to time. Such was the case Saturday night, when Snyder brought in Kirk Stevens, one of the many stars of Princeton’s 1989 state runner-up squad, to talk to the current crop of Tigers.

Stevens, an ordained minister for the Church of Christ in Madison,

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Wisc., talked about football, talked about life and how those two work together, and talked about this year’s team legacy. It was a hard-hitting message, much like he played the game of football.

“I’ve met Kirk before and have a

lot of respect for him and knew he’d be a good guy to talk to the kids,” Snyder said. “It’s great for the kids to hear from his perspective, someone who’s respected and somebody who’s been in this position before.”

Stevens, who gained respect on the football field for his hard-hitting play, had the full attention of the assembled boys in blue. It was 26 years ago, he was in their same shoes, running wild with Tiger Style.

Lions From Page 11 to avoid a three-game match.

The evening started out rough for the Lady Lions as Annawan broke a 6-6 tie on a thunderous spike by senior hitter Kayla DeMay that was set up by sophomore setter Kendall Gripp.

The kill by DeMay ignited the Bravettes’ offense and sparked a 19-4 lead that allowed Annawan to coast to an easy first game victory.

“I thought that we were ready and I think the girls would have said that they were ready as well, but you have to credit Annawan. They came out on fire, and their middle and outside hitters are dominant and they were hard

• Hallie May, L/O coach to stop. They are a good blocking team, swung well and are overall good players,” Coach Hallie May said.

L/0 came out strong in the second game, building a five-point lead on four straight service points by junior outside hitter Alayna Cherry at 15-10, but the

resilient Bravettes hung around and kept themselves within striking distance.

Sophomore middle blocker Lexi Loftus had five kills on the evening, and junior setter Paige Conner added three kills and five assists on the night.

L/O finished with 20 wins for the first time in more than a decade and have a young core of players that promise to keep the program improving.

“I’m proud of our team and I’m proud of our season. Obviously I wish we had a different outcome, but it doesn’t change the success that we had over the course of the whole season,” May said.

Annawan advances to the finals to take on the hosts and number 2 sub-sectional Wethersfield at 6 p.m. Thursday.

St. Bede had Hall’s number once again in Monday’s 2A regional opener at Fieldcrest.

The Lady Bruins defeated rival Hall for the fourth time this season 25-20, 25-19 to move on for another day. Senior Hanna Bima had six kills and five blocks, and senior libero Julia Pohar made good on nine digs and 11 points.

However, St. Bede (15-18) saw its season come to a close with a 25-18, 25-7 loss to host and regional favorite Fieldcrest Tuesday.

“It’s not the way we wanted to finish. We played well first game and then let up in the second game,” SBA coach Karrie Damerell said. “Fieldcrest is a good team. They took control of the net in game 2 and we did not respond.”

Pohar had 11 digs with Kourtney Knecht and Thea Mauck with three kills each. Bima had two kills and two blocks in her last match for St. Bede.

Hall ended its season Monday at 10-21-1.

Abby Hoscheid had five kills and three aces with Brooke Keegan adding two kills, 11 assists and six digs. Jenna Lusietto had four kills and one ace.

At Newman (2A): Bureau Valley saw its season end with a 25-18, 25-9 loss to TRAC rival Prophetstown.

Darcy Kepner had two kills and three digs, and Sidney Kolb had 4.5 blocks and two kills for the Storm (5-25).

At Farmington (2A): Putnam County came up short on its long trip to Farmington Tuesday, falling to Brimfield 26-24, 22-25, 24-26.

Playoffs From Page 11 170-pound senior back has rushed for 1,640 yards and 26 TDs. “Our biggest concern will be playing mistake-free football,” Mid-County coach Gary Denhart said. “Princeton mixes things up offensively very well, and we have been playing good defense. When we win, we don’t give up big plays and we don’t turn the ball over. We have to focus on those two things to do well Friday night.”

Mid-County is the co-operative efforts of Oneida ROWVA, Galva and Williamsfield with a combined enrollment of 478.

The Cougars tied for fifthplace in the Lincoln Trail Conference, which sent six of its eight league members to the playoffs. All four of the Cougars losses came at the hands of playoff teams, including Hall foe Monmouth United.

United at Hall (2A): United was on Hall’s radar and came as no surprise to the Hall staff.

“They are who we talked about and expect to get,” Hall

coach Randy Tieman said.

United is the 2004 merger of the former Monmouth Warren and Alexis school districts. It celebrated its inaugural season with a Class 1A state championship. Monmouth Yorkwood came aboard in 2007.

The Red Storm finished third in the Lincoln Trail.

Its three losses came to league rivals and playoff bound Annawan/ Wethersfield, Stark County and Mercer County.

“They had a good year and played a couple really good teams at the end of the season,” Tieman said.

Hall has reloaded nicely from its 2014 playoff run which ended with a 27-20 second-round loss to Eastland-Pearl City, the eventual 2A state champion. It is ranked fourth in Class 2A and is a sixth seed for the playoffs.

The Red Devils made a gallant, come from behind 27-26 victory at Erie/ Prophetstown last week to boost its playoff seeding. It had a heart-breaking 22-21 loss to Newman the week before, missing a potential game-winning field goal as time ran out.

But Princeton (22-13), which beat Geneseo xx Monday, fought back in Game 2. Trailing 18-12, a kill by Hailey Schultz kick-started a 9-4 Tigresses run. Schultz had two kills and an ace, and Courtney Oeder added a

pair of kills in the spurt, and consecutive kills by Anna Murray and Tieg Sisler tied the game at 22.

But a Princeton hitting error stopped the run, and Emily Sauer and Alexandra Romo had kills to finish off the match.

“We didn’t really have any flow there for awhile in the second game, but we just had to pick each other up and start communicating again,” Rock Falls junior libero Molly Mammosser said. “We

Hieronymus From Page 11 hardt said. “To have someone from that ‘89 team who did many things special ... that’s who we look up to right now. To have a great player like from that team was really special.

“We’ve heard of him, heard of a bunch of players from that team.

But never put a face to him. To see who he really is, to see what football can really do, meant a lot.”

A big message that hit home was how Stevens relayed to his Tiger brethren that they had all the members of his team and Tigers teams from the past behind them 100 percent. Stevens told them to do his team one better and win state.

“We’ve needed really to hear people say that. We know we have the community with us, but to hear that the past teams want us to build upon what they’ve already done, just to do well for them, just touches the heart,” said Reinhardt, whose uncle Jay Alter, was a teammate of Stevens.

Stevens, who said it was a quite an honor to come home and talk to the Tigers, praised the team for

Schultz led PHS with 10 kills, and Sisler added five kills and a block. Oeder had four kills and a block, Murray had three spikes and a stuff, and Kate Vigars (12 assists) and Madison Menzel (8 assists) combined for 20 assists.

rebooting the Tiger legacy that has been dormant for years now, while creating their own.

“Coming from a team that has a legacy to impart on them that they’re building a legacy, they’re starting their own legacy, that’s huge. I don’t know if they realize it,” he said.

Here’s a link to part of Kirk’s speech http://www.tout.com/m/r519kz • Lasting legacy: As someone who has covered and followed both the 1989 and 2015 Tigers, there is truly a lasting connection between the two teams. A passing of the torch from 1989 to 2002 and now to 2015, so to speak.

I see in Jacob Smith the hard hitting of Stevens and the hard running of Sean Schickel from ‘89. Jake Reinhardt is a smooth operator at quarterback, much like Doug Bruyn was in ‘89. It’s not about who’s the better team, and at this juncture, the 2015 Tigers still have a ways to go to catch the ‘89ers.

But what was the most important message relayed from Stevens Saturday was how his team was pulling for the Tigers. They are all brothers of Princeton Tiger football.

years from now, in 2041, they’ll come back to talk to the future Tigers.

• Tiger trivia: Remember my question last week, asking who was the last team Princeton beat in the playoffs? It’s quite the footnote.

You have to go back to 2002 when the Tigers defeated Rochester at Bryant Field in the 4A quarterfinals.

Princeton has no had no playoff success since then, but Rochester is a whole different story. Rochester seeks its six straight state championship, a run dating back to 2010.

For this week’s Tiger Trivia, name the three PHS teams that won a game in the playoffs. Everyone, of course, knows all about the 1989 team and the 2002 semifinalist.

Which other PHS team was it?

• Angel in the outfield: The Western Bureau Valley League all gained an angel in the outfield when we lost Anita Elgin, president of Tampico Youth Softball, last week. Anita was a dear friend and friend to all of those around the league. She loved the girls and the girls all loved her.

She will be deeply missed.
