‘Cannabis’ candy deemed OK State crime lab says no THC in the candy

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — The Bureau County Sheriff’s Office is working to get to the bottom of the suspicious Halloween candy found in Manlius.

After trick-or-treating on Sunday, Oct. 30, parents came forward with odd looking candy marked as Crunch Choco Bar

in wrappers that had small cannabis leaves on it.

Officers performed a field test on the substance and got a positive reading for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the intoxicating drug in cannabis.

On Tuesday, Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed admits there is room for error in the field test, however, he said he’s never seen a false positive test for cannabis throughout his time with the force.

Reed said the candy has been sent into a laboratory, where it will be confirmed 100 percent whether or not it does contain cannabis.

Wednesday afternoon, Reed sent out a press release stating results from the Illinois State Crime Lab in Morton confirmed the candy did not contain THC and was safe for consumption.

While there are items sold in stores that contain hemp oil and hemp seed, Reed confirmed those items do not test positive for THC. “To get a positive reaction out of this candy is a concern ... That’s why we were taking this seriously,” he said.

Reed said it is believed the candy bars are from another country, possibly made in Japan. He said his department does

not believe anyone was trying to intentionally hurt children.

“There was no intention of any harm to children in this matter,” he said. “The candy bars have been deemed safe for consumption.”

Reed said no other information would be released. He said the immediate alert on the issue was sent out as a precautionary safety measure because of the Halloween holiday and also because lab testing would take some time to perform.

Gary Johnson helping to save Oakland Cemetery’s history

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The names most closely associated with Princeton’s historical past can be found among the brightly colored leaves falling on the grounds of Oakland Cemetery. Too often though, those leaves are helping to bury the very history the cemetery is supposed to preserve.

Year 170 No. 132 One Section - 20 Pages

Gary Johnson has personally taken on the challenge of locating and restoring Oakland Cemetery’s broken and buried tombstones.

He’s completed work on 1,435 and says there are still 500 to go. To help secure the long-term care of Oakland, he’s helped with the creation of the Oakland Cemetery Preservation Fund.

For the past two years, however, Princeton resident Gary Johnson has taken responsibility for saving this local history.

During those two years, Johnson has personally restored 1,435 tombstones, and he’s been financing this large project with his own money, saying, “After my mother passed away, it all just fell together.

PRINCETON — Princeton Police Department was one of four law enforcement agencies in the state to be awarded a grant that will allow the hiring of an additional police officer.

The Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded four Illinois communities a total of $4,125,000 to recruit or rehire 33 police officers.

Princeton Police got $125,000 from that grant and the chance to hire one additional officer — who will be sworn in on Monday, Nov. 7.

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root was happy to say his department was one of four in the state who got this opportunity.

He said the grant hasn’t been given out in years, however when he got word it would be granted once again this year, Princeton jumped on the opportunity. Root said it was good timing too because a Princeton Police officer had just resigned.

While there was a strong pool of candidates from all over the state to choose from for the grant, Root said he believed Princeton presented a stronger case when justifying their need at the department.

A hauntingly fun Halloween BCR photos/Joann Bowman

There was no shortage of glow sticks, candy, hot dogs and more during the Halloween celebration held at the Mineral Gold Fire Department. The event also included a costume and pumpkin carving contests.

With near perfect weather on Halloween night, there was no shortage of trick-or-treaters of all ages who were out and about for some “spooktacular” holiday fun.

Allegion hosts students for career expo PRINCETON – On Oct. 27, Allegion Americas hosted students and community leaders at its third-annual Discover Manufacturing Career Expo event in Princeton – an effort to start a collaborative conversation locally about manufacturing careers and the skills gap in the industry.

Allegion Americas manufactures commercial door closers at its 200,000-squarefoot Princeton facility. Manufacturing Day participants from Princeton High School and Henry High School were given the opportunity to tour that facility and see first-hand how those products are made.

“This event is all about inspiring the next generation of manufacturers in Princeton,” Allegion Vice

President of Operations Cindy Farrer said. “A recent Deloitte study shows that 3.4 million manufacturing jobs will be available over the next decade, and a skills gap will likely result in 2 million going unfilled. We want to help change that.”

Princeton Mayor Joel Quiram attended the event to give brief remarks on the importance of manufacturing to the local community.

“Princeton is very proud to have been the site of Allegion’s LCN Division for over 65 years. Our community has witnessed a culture of continuous improvement in Allegion’s product lines, steady growth in sales and innovations in manufacturing processes,” Quiram said. “This is a forward-thinking company.

The city of Princeton will continue a strong partnership with Allegion for the next 65 years and beyond.”

The Princeton-area expo is supported by the North Central Regional Betterment Coalition, Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC) and Starved Rock Associates Vocational and Technical Education. It includes opportunities for students to also visit other local manufacturers like Black Brothers, Carus, Eakas, Flint Hills, James Hardie, Sabic and Vactor, as well as attend a career expo at IVCC. The local expo is also a celebration of National Manufacturing Day, an annual event during which North American manufacturers across the country open their doors to help

Local author explores LaMoille Utopian dream WALNUT — The prairie of Bureau County, Illinois, in the 1840s would seem a very unlikely location for a planned Utopian settlement. This is especially true if the motivation for the effort was the complex and controversial writings of a French Utopian socialist who never set foot on American soil, much less the prairies of Northern Illinois. The doctrines of

Charles Fourier spread to America and would influence a small group of idealists residing in the small community of LaMoille in Bureau County.

The Lamoille (sic) Agricultural and Mechanical Association would have been the first such attempt in Bureau County and Illinois and is a long overlooked aspect of

“I wanted the inheritance from my parents to be spent on something worthwhile in their memory.”

When he was ready to begin genealogical research on his father’s side of the family, who have been in Princeton for 100 years, Johnson joined the Bureau County Genealogical Society.

“In one of the first newsletters I got, I saw they were going to have a program about restoring cemeteries. It was really interesting, I went to that and then also went to a workshop. In order to do this legally, you have to be certified by the state. I’m now one of three people in the county to be certified,” Johnson said.

When Oakland’s stones fall, they don’t take long to disappear. Johnson said one inch of soil on top of a fallen stone represents 10 years. He’s found and restored several with 5 inches, meaning those rescued and often broken stones haven’t been seen in 50 years.

Johnson said, “The cemetery isn’t responsible for the stones; it’s up to the families, but a lot of people here have no family.”

The average time to restore and reset a stone is roughly one hour with two men, but some have taken up to a day. Johnson has received help with

The officer who had resigned from Princeton was serving as the school resource office for Princeton area schools, therefore Princeton Police has plans to move senior officer Sara Rokey into that position, and hire the new patrol officer.

“We will be able to continue that program, which is important to the schools, the police department and the community,” Root said, adding the resource officer acts as a liaison to the school and police department and works to build strong relationships with the students and school administration.

Oakland Cemetery began in 1836 with four acres. It’s now far more than 100 acres and is the final resting place for approximately 14,000. The cemetery’s namesake, the large oak trees towering throughout the grounds, are partly responsible for the damage to the stones.

“There’s at least 50 trees that still need to come down. When they fall, they can cause a lot of damage.

There are still 500 stones that need to be restored.

There’s so many to work on

they’ve even brought in restoration groups to study this cemetery,” Johnson said.

He’s also noticed the fence surrounding Oakland is in need of help and said he’d like to see its restoration become a project for the Boy Scouts or American Legion.

In order to provide for the long-term care for Oakland’s tombstones, Johnson has joined with Pam Lange and Jackie Davis to create the Oakland Cemetery Preservation Fund.

Their biggest challenge with this new endeavor is to raise awareness of the condition of the cemetery,

as well as raising funds to continue restoration work.

Davis, foundation president, said, “We owe it to the citizens who made Princeton what it is today to maintain their legacy.

Everyone deserves that respect. There’s so much history here.”

Meeting Minutes Illinois Valley Community College OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College and 40 support staff represented by AFT/IFT Local No. 6561 have reached an agreement resulting in withdrawal of an unfair labor practice charge filed by the union.

Following closed session at its monthly meeting on Sept. 8, IVCC board members agreed to a retroactive 2.5 percent increase for fiscal 2016 and a 2 percent raise this year for union support staff.

The retroactive payment will be included in the Sept. 22 payroll.

In exchange, the union will withdraw its charges before the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board and allow IELRB to conduct an on-site union certification election.

In other business, the campaign to build the college’s scholarship endowment has exceeded its $500,000 goal, President Jerry Corcoran said.

“One of the goals the board and I agreed to last year was to establish an endowment to offer more scholarships, particularly to those with unmet financial need. We set our initial target at $500,000 and have achieved that goal thanks to 106 generous supporters of our college’s mission,” Corcoran said.

More than $512,000 has been raised and an estimated 80 students have already received assistance from the financial aid office ranging from $333 to $357 each.

Specific populations targeted for assistance are: GED and ESL students in healthcare and manufacturing “bridge” programs; middle class students who qualify for very little, if any, financial aid; returning students seeking a certificate or degree; and returning summer students who have exhausted their financial aid.

A campaign donor wall, similar to the display for the $2.1 million Community Technology Center capital campaign, will be installed near the main entrance.

“We remain true to our mission and focused on doing everything we can to give district residents every opportunity to receive a quality education,” said Corcoran, adding, “It’s also why we’re in the minority again (among Illinois community colleges) by covering MAP grants this year.”

The campaign was launched in January 2015 with a $150,000 lead gift from 1951 IVCC alumnus Ralph Scriba of Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif. His pledge was soon followed by a $50,000 matching gift from alumni William and Dian Taylor of Winnetka.

Trustees also approved: • The appointment of Diann Jabusch as Director of Information Technology Services to replace the retiring Harold Barnes. Jabusch has 18 years experience in Illinois community colleges (Rock Valley, McHenry County and Spoon River) and holds a master’s in instructional technology and

telecommunications from Western Illinois and a bachelor’s in mathematics and computer science from the University of Illinois.

• Purchase of 280 tons of rock salt from Cargill for $63.36 per ton or a total of $17,740.

• Seeking bids for a Simulaids SMART STAT Basic patient simulator for the Emergency Medical Services program for an estimated $11,000.

The equipment allows EMS students to practice advanced life support skills.

• The date, time and place for filing petitions for the April 4 trustee election. Petitions for six-year terms on the board must be filed with Board Secretary Jeanne Hayden in Room C301 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, Dec. 12-16, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19.

The board learned: • Part-time criminal justice instructor Gary Gnidovec and Assessment Center Assistant Kathleen Finklea have resigned.

• A total of 160 summer graduates, including 28 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) graduates, earned 186 degrees and certificates. That compares to 190 graduates earning 222 degrees and certificates in summer 2015.

• Geology instructor Mike Phillips recently published an online teaching module titled “Mapping the Environment with Sensory Perception,” as part of a National Science Foundation funded InTeGrate STEP Center activity.

‘Bear the fear’ Last week, the Princeton High School Board discussed eliminating speech class as a graduation requirement for students.

From those discussions, we learned the school’s English department felt students were gaining plenty of Goldie public speaking Rapp skills in other subject classes through projCOMMENTARY ects and presentations — to the point where lessons were doubling up.

The English department has made the suggestion to keep the class available to students who want to take it as an elective.

While the school board will ultimately have the final say in the decision, the general consensus was to go along with the English department’s recommendation.

Board member Gary Hanna did speak up and say he was apprehensive on letting it go as a requirement because he knows from first-hand experience just how important the class is for students and future careers.

He shared how he still uses the public speaking tips he learned in his own high school speech class at PHS. I have to say, students like Gary who unwillingly had to take speech class in school, but ended up learning a thing or two about public speaking are the fortunate ones.

Speech class was never required at the high school I attended. But looking back, I really wish I would have been forced to take a class that gave me the needed skills to overcome fears when getting in front of crowds.

You see, I’m one of those people who can’t stand the thought of getting in front of an audience. I even hate that moment when you’re at a meeting and the presenter says, “Let’s take a few minutes and go around the room and introduce ourselves and say a little bit about yourself.” Talk about instant panic attack!

I still remember a time in my high school social studies class when we were assigned to present a debate on a controversial topic in the media. While I did the work and prepared my notes for the debate, when the time came to get in front of the class and present — that’s where I failed. I was so nervous. My palms were so sweaty they soaked my note cards; I could feel my face burning red hot as soon as I felt eyes on me; my stomach hurt from anticipation; my mind blanked; and I froze up. I could not present my debate to the fullest because of my nerves.

Looking back today, it’s obvious I lacked public speaking competence. And, I can truly say, the only thing class presentations taught me was anxiety. I dreaded it as soon as I was given an assignment that would require me to get in front of the class.

Maybe if I would have been forced to take a speech class that focused entirely on public speaking, I would have learned the secrets of overcoming that fear. Perhaps, I would have remembered and used those skills throughout my life, which could have led to greater confidence at crowd gatherings or the ability to present information to an audience or even the desire to want to share a story with a group of listeners.

As a reporter, I’ve covered a great share of public speakers throughout the years, and during each speech — whether it be on school audits, grant proposals or just the usual storytelling — I sit in the audience and admire the speaker’s ability to stand in front of a crowd and portray themselves in a confident matter as they share their messages to listeners.

I’ve shared my fear with a fellow colleague and we’ve joked about attending a local toastmasters meeting. While I know it would probably teach me things I should know about public speaking, the problem is I know they’ll make me get in front of crowd at some point, and I can’t stomach that thought. For now, I’ll just bear the fear and continue avoiding public speaking as much as possible.

TO Letter THE Editor

No shortage of substitute teachers To the Editor, It’s Halloween, so let’s pretend. Let’s pretend a school needs a substitute teacher in Spanish classes for a day or two. Let’s pretend someone with a bachelor’s degree in, say, philosophy, with no teaching credentials or experience, has paid $100 to the state, submitted an application transcript, and passed a background check. Let’s pretend there is a retired teacher who, until recently, was certified to teach Spanish, has a master’s degree, taught that subject for many years, and could actually teach the classes. You would call the retired teacher, wouldn’t you?

Ding! Wrong answer! Sit down.

You cannot call the highly-qualified retired teacher because she has not submitted continuing education hours, therefore cannot renew the certificate with the appropriate endorsement which she earned and held for decades. She refuses to be insulted by the bureaucracy.

She believes it should not cost her

money to continue teaching after all these years, certainly not five times as much as someone with no qualifications. Unfortunately, she has passed through the magnetic portal of retirement, which apparently signifies that she has forgotten everything she ever learned.

The Illinois State Board of Education decrees that someone with no teaching credentials in any subject whatsoever, and no experience, can substitute teach by meeting only the above-mentioned criteria, but the retired teacher, whose qualifications have long ago exceeded that, must continue “training,” which the rank beginner does not, taking classes and sitting through lectures that are often completely irrelevant, if not downright useless. Read the rules in black and blue on the ISBE website. The lack of logic is glaring.

So is the solution to the problem.

Here are a couple of additional thoughts on the subject: School

administrators throughout the state could grow a collective spine and demand of the ISBE that the path be made easier for retired teachers to substitute. A simple application and a summary of educational qualifications and experience should suffice.

Their jobs would become easier, and the quality of instruction would improve. What are they waiting for?

Another is that there must be financial gain in it for somebody.

The continuing education system for most professionals is a lucrative racket, and teaching is no exception. And of course, the state can’t pass by an opportunity to harvest a few bucks.

There isn’t a shortage of qualified substitute teachers. There is a shortage of retired teachers willing to jump through hoops. If that makes a certain group of people unhappy, they should quit whining and do something about it.

Ann Darwish, expired teacher Spring Valley

Fully funding education? Not even close ...

To The Editor In June 2016, Illinois policy-makers proudly announced a compromise which would “fully fund” K-12 education and allow for a six-month, stop-gap budget for the state. Despite assurances to the contrary, the term “fully fund” has been narrowly applied to only include the general state aid (GSA) formula. Fully funding K-12 must also include the payment of mandated quarterly categorical payments which provide revenue to schools for things such as special education, transportation, bilingual education, early childhood education, driver education and more.

The education community and the general public were led to believe that K-12 education would be fully funded. This is a gross misrepresentation of the facts, as quarterly mandated categorical

payments have not been disbursed.

Additionally, fully funding general state aid at a foundation level of $6,119, which is the same funding level as 2010, is a mere 66 percent of the recommendation of the Education Funding Advisory Board whose job it is to determine the cost of educating two-thirds of non-at-risk students. Compounding irresponsible funding practices is the continual erosion of CPPRT funds, another source of local support of schools.

The Legislature has exacerbated the impact of state funding negligence while misleading the public into thinking they have met their obligations to the children in our state.

The state of Illinois has not disbursed the last two quarterly categorical payments required of them to school districts leaving districts in a very difficult situation. To illustrate the gravity of the situa-

tion, VOICE (Visions on Issues and Choices in Education), on behalf of its member school districts covering all or parts of Bureau, DeKalb, LaSalle, Marshall and Livingston counties) has compiled data from 36 school districts, two special education cooperatives, and one regional office of education. To date, an astounding $10.2 million of categorical funding has been vouchered by the Illinois State Board of Education and is owed VOICE member educational entities.

If education is to be a priority in the Illinois, funding for it must be a priority as well. It takes more than complex formulas to fund education adequately. It takes the will to do so.

PERU — The Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development (IVAC) will hold its Business Breakfast Seminar on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 a.m. at Mario’s Maples in Peru. The focus of the seminar will be the “Increase to the Minimum Salary for Exempt Employees.”

As you may know, the Department of Labor recently issued final Fair Labor Standards Act regulations, which substantially increase the salary level at which an employee must be paid to qualify for most overtime exemptions.

Under these new regulations, most employees making less than $47,476 per year ($913/week) must be treated as non-exempt and are, therefore, eligible for overtime. These regulations take effect on Dec. 1, so employers need to be aware of these new requirements now and make necessary changes prior to the effective date.

This session will include: • A summary/reminder of the criteria that must be met to classify an employee as exempt from overtime and potential damages and other ramifications if an employee is misclassified.

• An explanation of the new regulations released recently.

• A discussion of the practical implications employers must now consider, including: • Whether to increase an employee’s salary to meet the new salary level

requirements or reclassify the employee as non-exempt.

• What payment options are available for employees reclassified as non-exempt.

• How to avoid timekeeping pitfalls for employees reclassified as non-exempt.

• What to do when some employees working in a position are earning more than the new salary level while other employees working in that same position are earning less than the new salary level.

• How to communicate with employees being reclassified.

• Using these new regulations to reclassify employees who may not qualify as exempt because of a failure to satisfy the duties requirements for exempt status.

Speaker is Brian V. Alcala of Nixon Peabody LLP. Alcala practices exclusively in employment and labor relations law. He represents private employers nationwide in federal and state employment and labor relations law. He represents private employers nationwide in federal and state employment, labor and non-compete litigation and before administrative agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

He also counsels clients to help them comply with employment, labor and trade secrets issues.

Registration for the seminar is $15 for members and $18 for non-members. A hot breakfast buffet will be provided at 7:15 a.m. Reservations must be made by calling 223-0227 no later than noon on Tuesday, Nov. 8. The breakfast is open to the IVAC non-members, as well as, the public.

#1 Newman (10-0) at St. Bede (7-3) • 2 p.m. Saturday

Redemption time for Bruins

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Here we go again.

Two weeks ago, the St. Bede Bruins and the Sterling Newman Comets met for the TRAC Mississippi Conference championship. The Comets won that meeting 48-14.

The Bruins will get another shot at those same very Comets Saturday, this time in the second round of the 2A playoffs. Kickoff is 2 p.m. at the academy gridiron.

“We want to keep winning. We don’t want this to end,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said after the Bruins’ 40-13 win over Westchester St. Joseph Saturday at Elmhurst College. “The fact that it’s against Newman, it’s a chance for redemption.

We talked about how the two spread teams (St. Catherine’s of Racine, Wis., and Bureau Valley) the first two weeks. We didn’t play as well as we wanted defensively. We said (playing St. Joseph) was a chance to redeem yourselves and, boy, the defense did.

“We said the same thing with Newman to redeem themselves for something that happened 15 days ago from the game.

It doesn’t get any better than that as far as class and what they do. I’ve got all good things to say about them.”

Senior captain Brady

“It’s always great to have a second chance for redemption. Especially with the fact that we will be on our home field with a Bruin playoff atmosphere on our side.”

LaMoille/Ohio’s Nya Ranel (21) and Lexi Loftus hit the deck trying to make a save in Tuesday’s sectional semifinal match against Flanagan-Cornell at Flanagan. They came away empty-handed, but the Lady Lions claimed a 27-25, 25-15 victory.

Lady Lions just won’t go away

Brady Booker • St. Bede senior

Booker said the Bruins are excited for another shot at the Comets.

“It’s always great to have a second chance for redemption. Especially with the fact that we will be on our home field with a Bruin playoff atmosphere on our side,” he said.

Newman coach Mike Papoccia, whose Comets rolled to a 50-6 win over Clifton Central in its playoff opener Saturday evening in Sterling, would prefer to go in a different direction than facing a fellow TRAC school.

“Deja vu here,” he said.

“You gotta do what you’re told to do, I guess. I don’t like playing another conference school. Wish we were playing somebody new. But this is the way it fell and this is the way we have to take it.”

Not much went right for the Bruins two weeks ago

Flanagan Sectional

FLANAGAN — The LaMoille/Ohio volleyball team is fast becoming the unwanted house guest that won’t go away.

The Lady Lions went to Annawan to beat Annawan on its home court for the regional championship last week.

Tuesday night, the Lady Lions beat Flanagan-Cornell at Flanagan 27-25, 25-15 to win its sectional semifinal match-up. The win vaulted the Lady Lions into the Class 1A Sweet 16 Thursday and sends the Ohio portion of the co-op to the sectional finals for the first time since 1993 and LaMoille for the first time since 1978.

“There’s no words to explain it,” LHS senior Alana Cherry said. “I’m so happy to be able to experience

Thursday’s finals

Wethersfield (35-1) vs. LaMoille/Ohio (25-12), 6 p.m. this with this group of girls. It’s an amazing feeling. They’re not a teammate to me, they’re more of a family.

“I only got emotional today when we had a pep rally sendoff at Ohio. I have no tears of happiness right now.

I’m just so excited,” L/O coach Hallie Monroe said. “I thought I’d be a little more emotional. But, we’re ready to go. We’re having fun.”

Senior libero Riley Johnson was

her excitable self after the Lady Lions’ win.

“It’s better than a regional, woo hoo,” she said. “It’s really great for us, we’ve been working so hard to better our team and get a better record. And now we just keep rolling with all the wins in postseason.”

Next up, the Lady Lions (24-12) will face Kewanee Wethersfield (351), which defeated Gardner-South Wilmington 25-13, 25-23 in Tuesday’s first semifinal match.

The Lady Lions looked like they were going to run away with the first set, leading 19-13. The Falcons halted the L/O runaway with a sideout and turned the ball over to senior Samantha Lyons, who ripped off eight straight points with three aces, to suddenly take a 22-19 lead.

Ezby shared her love for Cubbies with young fan Most Cubs fans come by their love of their team naturally, it’s ingrained in them at a young age. Just like the Wilcoxens, who passed their Cubdom down the family lineage from Grandpa Larry, to his son, Ken, and on down to his son, Kris.

Garrett Cornman gained his Cubs fandom in a different way.

Let’s say it rubbed off on him from a grand lady who loved her Cubs.

Cornman had been playing baseball for as long as he could

remember and loved going to Westside Park to watch his dad play fast pitch church league.

However, as much as he loved playing the game and watching his dad play, he never got much

into professional sports because tickets tended to be expensive and his family time was valued more over other pursuits.

One day at his dad’s computer store in Princeton, he was introduced to my dear friend Ezby Collins. He found her to be one of the “kindest, most generous and loving people” he had ever had the pleasure of meeting and knowing. Of course, as she would like to do, Cornman said, “Ezby slowly bestowed upon me my love for the Cubs, and con-

stantly kept asking me when I was going to be a Cubs fan.”

It just so happened that Ezby was friends with Peg Sandberg, wife of none other than the highly-popular Cubs second baseman. Through those connections, Ezby made quilts to be auctioned off for the Cubs Wives’ charity, and was known to deliver one of her famous pies or two to Mr. Sandberg himself.

I know personally that Ryno said her pies were delicious.

On Thursday, July 1, 1999,

Cornman, then 11, along with his mom and dad, and a few others, accompanied Ezby to Wrigley Field to deliver her goods. They were able to park in the players’ lot and their game tickets had them seated about 10 rows behind home plate.

Cornman said he remembers bits and pieces from the game, that Steve Trachsel pitched for the Cubs, and Mickey Morandini hit a home run in the first

Nugent named to coach Bureau Valley girls hoops

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Jim Nugent was named as the varsity girls basketball coach at Bureau Valley High School just in time for the start of the first practice Monday.

Nugent replaces Spencer Davis, who resigned having never coached a game, taking over the program last spring following the resignation of former head coach Tiffany Gonigam.

She went to Princeton.

Nugent has been a sophomore coach for the BVHS boys program for three years. He did his student teaching at BVHS and started out teaching at the high school there before being reassigned to Buda-Wyanet teaching elementary and junior high PE. “He’s a household guy,”

Hieronymus From Page 11 inning for the Cubs, and Mark Grace hit one in the third inning. Apart from the action, he said, “I just couldn’t get over how amazing Wrigley Field was. Sure, I’d seen it on TV countless times, but being there in person was truly awe-inspiring.”

In typical Cubs fashion that year, Cornman said, they lost 19-12. But win or lose, he was hooked.

“I didn’t care. I was an 11-year-old kid who had eyes the size of the center field scoreboard from the time we parked until the time we left. Once the game ended, however, the events that followed essentially made me a Cubs fan forever,” Cornman said.

When the game ended, Ezby and gang were ushered to the nursery below Wrigley Field that the players’ families utilize during games. Ezby delivered her quilt and pies and goodies, including extra cookies for the kids. Cornman managed to score autographs from Rod Beck, Mark Grace and Morandini. He remembers being greatly intimidated by the hulking Beck and getting to see his signature mustache up close and personal.

As he sat on my couch in his Ryne Sandberg jersey watching the Cubs in Game 6 of the NLCS and taking in every minute, Cornman said a small piece of his Cubs’ memo-

Jim Nugent New BV girls basketball coach BV principal/assistant superintendent Eric Lawson said.

Davis was suspended for the Week 8 football game for what Lawson called a “coaching ethics violation.” He was reinstated for the Storm’s Week 9 and playoff games. Lawson ries seemed to be missing.

“I’m still relatively young in terms of being a Cubs fan as 17 years of fandom is hardly a landmark, but the love and joy I get from watching the Cubs, as well as the many miseries that accompanied in the years prior, a great big piece of that came from Ezby and her love and passion for everything Cubs,” Cornman said. “So as the Cubs celebrated on the field Saturday, and the cheers and tears of happiness erupted from Wrigley Field, I could definitely see Ezby sitting in the front row in her Cubs shirt and hat she loved and sharing the elation that Cubs nation has so desperately been craving.”

• I fully understand what the Cubbies mean to their fans. A fan of any team, White Sox, Cardinals, yes, even the Cardinals, can appreciate the historic moment when the World Series returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in 71 years. The same place Babe Ruth made his famous “called home run” in the 1932 World Series.

I witnessed it firsthand Friday evening for Game 3 at Wrigley Field when I saw a middle-aged son holding the hands of his elderly father and walking up a ramp to get to their seats. It was probably a moment they had dreamed about years ago playing catch in their backyard. And one they probably thought they’d never share.

The Cubbies could be

said Davis resigned as girls basketball coach.

“We needed to move forward. We owed it to the girls, we owed it the parents of our basketball team. We’re confident Jim is going to do a great job,” Lawson said, When asked if Davis would remain on as varsity football coach, Lawson said, “I can’t answer that at this time.”

At last week’s board meeting, Bureau Valley also renamed former Storm varsity softball coach Brian Humphrey to replace Danny Kolb, who resigned after one season. Other new hires include Cooper Frank, BVHS boys basketball volunteer coach; P.J. Baker, BVHS assistant girls basketball coach Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. an easy team to like. Joe Maddon is a great manager in a goofy way, two players, Anthony Rizzo and Jon Lester, are cancer survivors, Kris Bryant is a bright young star, and Ben Zobrist is a great veteran payer and fine Christian man. They could be an easy team to like …. but.

He was my pal in the Fastpitch Church League and on the occasion we’d play together on Gordie Shipp’s travel team, Bob always told me to “Put in on the Green.” His son, Todd attended his dad’s funeral before returning to coach in the Washington Panthers playoff game.

He received the game ball from the team after its 35-14 win over Peoria Notre Dame as a rainbow formed over the field.

Todd, aka “Sparky,” was a member of the 1989 state runner-up football team at PHS.

IVCC welcomes local flavor OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College men’s basketball coach Chris Herman is optimistic about the upcoming season, thanks in large part to the local talent opting to continue their careers close to home.

“Each year brings new energy and excitement, and I am pleased to have several local players who I expect will make an impact with their talent, character, and leadership,” Herman said.

“I knew coming in that (L-P’s) Brady Huebbe and Christian Soderholm would be impact players, and I am pleasantly surprised with how good Isaiah Tubbs (L-P) and Alec

Veverka (Putnam County) have looked in early workouts. Both have a chance to be great players for us the next two years.

“Andrew Pyszka (St. Bede) has shown signs of improvement as he is adapting to the pressure type of defense we want to play.”

Herman also welcomed walk-ons Matt Fronczak of Ottawa and John Pickard of Fieldcrest.

“Both are stand up individuals and play hard. They will be good teammates and make us better.”

The Eagles will be led by lone returning sophomore Rickey Calvin.

“Rickey has stepped into a leadership role.

And although we are young, I am optimistic.

This group has been very coachable and (they) have displayed solid, consistently good attitudes and effort. I have stressed that this is what they can control day-in and dayout. I believe they will continue to improve and will be fun to watch if they remain unselfish,” Herman said.

The Eagles dropped Tuesday’s season opener in OT to Danville 92-82.

• The IVCC women defeated Robert Morris 78-47 Tuesday. Hannah Wolfe had 14 points, Hunter Wright and Daniela Pavlovich had 13 each and Julia Pohar had 12.

Papoccia had a similar take on that first encounter, even though his team won by 34 points.

“We just watched that whole film again (Monday) night with the kids and had them critique themselves. We didn’t play as well as we thought,” Papoccia said. “We made a lot of mistakes we’ve got to correct because playing Bede at Bede is going to be a lot tougher than playing at our place.

On defense, Papoccia said the Comets missed some reads and a couple tackles against St. Bede before. Offensively, while he said the Comets blocked pretty well, “sometimes we blocked the wrong people.”

Newman won its 15th Three Rivers/ Big Rivers Conference championship. It now sets it sights on continuing its playoff march, seeking its sixth state championship. It won the state title in 1990, 1994, 2004, 2010 and 2013 and made two other state finals appearances.

Lady Lions

Sectional finals history

From Page 11

BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus

LaMoille/Ohio senior setter Paige Conner sends a spike right down the line as the Lady Lions gained a crucial sideout with Flanagan-Cornell leading 25-24 in the first set Tuesday at Flanagan.

Flanagan/Cornell twice had chances to put the set away at 24-23 and 25-24. Flanagan was called for four hits and then committed a hitting error before Cherry ended the set with a kill to secure a 27-25 victory.

“We put our minds together. We said we’re going to calm down, we’re going to get together and we’re going to do it and just keep focused,” Johnson said.

Cherry said the Falcons comeback “messed with our nerves a bit. We just kept pushing. We knew we could do it. I think that’s what’s important, knowing you can and not give up.”

Monroe said it was critical the Lady Lions came away with the win or things may have changed.

“It was huge to fight that off like that. Gosh, I don’t know if it would had gone our way if we hadn’t come out on top in that first one,” Monroe said. “Credit to those girls just fighting for those last few points. When you can do that, you make some noise, you prove to a team you’re not going to go away.”

In the end, the Falcons couldn’t overcome 15 hitting errors in the game.

“As bad as we played in the first game, we were right there to take the opening set. But it didn’t happen, even when I thought we had it a couple of times,” F/C coach Joe Estes told the Ottawa Times.

The second set came much more comfortably.

The Lady Lions jumped to leads of 7-3, 10-5 and 18-9 before doubling up the Falcons at 20-10. F/C closed with 21-15, but Deery served up two aces, including match point to send the Lady Lions to Thursday’s sectional finals against Wethersfield.

The Lady Lions had a balanced hitting attack, led by Lexi Loftus (7 kills), Paige Conner (6 kills), Deery (4 kills) and Nya Ranel (4 kills).

Ohio High School (1): 1993 - lost to Mendota 15-12, 15-5 LaMoille High School (1): 1978 - lost to Woodland 2-0 Deery led L/O with 11 points and four aces while dishing out 10 assists.

“You’ve got to be impressed with what Maddy Deery did out on the floor. She served well, set well,” Monroe said.

Johnson had 20 digs and was described by Monroe as “always a stud. That girl is incredible.”

Conner also contributed nine points, two aces, 10 digs and 11 assists, Cherry had six points, 13 digs and three kills, and Loftus added nine digs.

The Lady Lions are up for the challenge of facing a Geese team which returned most of its talent from last year’s third-place state finisher.

“What an opportunity to go up against somebody that played at state last year,” Monroe said.

“We have nothing to lose. If you lose, you say you lost to the third-place team at state last year that reloaded their whole team. And if you win, I don’t know, I wouldn’t have words.”

Johnson said the Lady Lions are not afraid of no Geese.

“That was last year,” she said of Wethersfield’s 2015 state finish. “We’re just going to try and go at them fired up and try to get them so we can go move on and maybe head to state, too, like they did last year.

• Notes: In its last sectional finals appearance in 1993, Ohio lost to Mendota 15-12, 15-5, according to BCR files. LaMoille last reached the sectional finals in 1978, losing to Streator Woodland 2-0 at Wenona. It defeated current co-op partner Ohio 2-0 to get there. LaMoille also reached the sectionals in 1979, losing to Erie 2-1 in the semifinals.
