Christmas in the Valley Annual event will be a jolly good time

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Halloween is behind us, which means the holiday season is just around the corner.

Spring Valley is gearing up to bring in the spirit with its annual Christmas in the Valley event, which takes places Saturday.

The streets will be alive with activity from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with holiday music, games and refreshments, trolley rides and gift specials.

Spring Valley Economic Development Director Debb Ladgenski encourages families from all around the area to take part in the jolly event, which has been happening for more than 10 years.

“We want people to come and visit our shops to see the wide range of products and services we have available, not only for the holidays, but all year,” she said. “The entire community rallies together to make this a family event as a means of sharing the holiday spirit.”

This year’s event will feature the favorite traditions such as pony rides, a petting zoo, children’s crafts and games, raffles, a vendor’s show to benefit the food pantry, a silent tree auction to benefit Freedom House and shopping specials.

“I think the highlight of the event varies (for each) individual, but the overall effect of kicking off the holiday season with the spirit of giving to others is important,” Ladgenski said.

The trolley will be making stops at the downtown mini-park, library/city hall, St. Margaret’s Hospital Gift Shop, Valley Flowers and Gifts, and Spring Valley Ford.

Children are invited to take part in children’s crafts at the Richard A. Mautino Memorial Library until 1 p.m. Face painting will be at the ImagineU Studio, located across from the library. A vendors show

Meeting their goals ... and beyond

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

MALDEN — The Malden community has surpassed its goal to raise money for new playground equipment at the grade school.

On Monday, Malden Grade School Superintendent Mike Patterson said the Malden Playground Community, Malden students and staff, and the community have come together to raise

Filing From Page 1 Treasurer position, the county clerk position, and the Bureau County sheriff’s position.

Also political parties will decide their candidates for 13 of the 26 Bureau County Board districts.

Those county board seats, and the persons currently holding them, are as follows: District 1, Robin Rediger; District 3, Jim Donarski; District

$34,737 for the new playground equipment.

The original goal was $25,000.

Patterson said it’s amazing the amount of money that has been raised in less than three months for the new playground. The money includes nearly $800 raised by the students themselves in a Pennies for Playground drive, a $5,000 grant from the local Pioneer dealer, and from fundraisers, including the most recent ben-

efit/auction held at the Princeton Moose Lodge.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the Malden Playground Committee had two goals when it formed earlier this year.

The first goal was to raise the needed $25,000 so Malden kids could have modern, updated playground equipment at the school. The second goal was to increase community involvement with the school.

Those goals have been

met and exceeded, Patterson said. Not only was the monetary goal reached and exceeded, there has also been great community support from every group and organization in the town, from parents and families, from people who no longer have children in the school, he said.

Looking ahead, Patterson said the Malden Playground Committee will meet Thursday evening to move forward with selecting pieces for the

new playground. With the additional money, the committee can look at maybe larger pieces or more pieces, he said.

As far as the existing playground equipment at the grade school, the bridge piece will be removed, but some of the other pieces may remain, Patterson said.

The goal is to have the new playground equipment installed next June, he said.

The political party nominations for the Regional Superintendent of Schools will also be decided at the March

primary. Candidates for that race will file at the state level, Hieronymus said.

Precinct committeemen positions will be elected at the March 18, 2014, primary election.

Statewide elections will include those for U.S. senator, governor/ lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer. Also to be determined are the representatives for U.S.

Congress and the Illinois General Assembly.

Looking at voter turnout, Hieronymus said voter turnout is typically lower for primary elections due in part because some voters don’t want to declare a political party.

Currently, Bureau County has 23,919 registered voters, but voter turnout for the last primary was about 35 percent.

Records posted on the Bureau County Clerk website show the num-

ber of registered voters in the county, voter turnout and election races since 1980. According to those records, Bureau County has seen a decreasing number of registered voters for the county.

Some of that decrease is due to the Help America Vote Act which has helped states clean up their registration records of active and inactive voters and to make sure records are current and accurate, Hieronymus said. Also, there has been some decline in the county’s population through the years, she said.

However, most people in the county who are eligible to vote are registered to vote, Hieronymus said.

“Getting people registered to vote is not so much the problem, but rather getting them to the polls to vote,” Hieronymus said. “The focus has got to be on the turnout.”

Pickering earns American FFA Degree

By Andrew Fisher news@bcrnews.com

NEPONSET — The FFA’s highest honor has been received by Benjamin Pickering, 20, of Neponset.

Pickering received the American FFA Degree at ceremonies in Louisville, Ky., last Saturday. The elite honor is bestowed on only one half of 1 percent of FFA members. Pickering also received a gold American FFA Degree key in recognition for the award. He was joined by his parents Jon and Gail Pickering of Neponset, at the ceremony.

The award winner graduated from Kewanee High School in 2012. He currently attends the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana and is studying crop sciences.

In order to earn the award, Pickering had to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills and the ability to earn at least $7,500 and productively invest at least $1,500.

Pickering also had to complete the three years of high school agriculture classes and one year of college agriculture classes. Additionally, Pickering had to document participation in community service activities. He also worked as an agriculture intern.

As part of earning the degree, Pickering had to log all the money earned and spent from his agricultural internship. He also had to log work activities performed and explain what was learned from his internship experience.

“I got an internship with AgriGold Hybrids of St. Francisville, Ill., which helped me earn money applicable to the degree,” Pickering explained. “I was a sales intern and helped put up field signs and deliver seed. I also developed sales leads.”

He said it took many hours to document his work as an intern.

To reach the American FFA Degree, he also had

to earn the FFA’s Greenhand, Chapter Degree and State Degree levels.

Pickering got interested in agriculture through corn detasseling in the summer. He also worked as a farm hand to gain more experience in agriculture.

Pickering said he became interested in the FFA because of the learning environment it sponsors. “I enjoyed being around people with similar interests,” Pickering said. “Many of us came from the same backgrounds, and it gave me a bridge. I went from going to a small school in Neponset to a larger one in Kewanee.”

The FFA taught him a work ethic and the ability to get out of his comfort zone Pickering said. “I learned how to explore different ideas and to express them through public speaking.”

He said he also received a lot of experience about how to participate in job interviews. Other life skills he learned were learning to feel at ease meeting and getting along with new people as the club president.

Reflecting on his time with the FFA, Pickering admitted he didn’t expect to gain so much from the organization.

“I joined because the people in it seemed like a lot of fun,” Pickering said.

“Still, I took advantage of the opportunities, and I ended up with the American Degree. I didn’t think it was possible when I started with the organization.”

Pickering participated in the FFA in high school whenever he had time away from football where he played center.

His future plans with the FFA are to join the alumni association. For now he is focusing on graduating in 2016. His ultimate goal is to work in seed corn production for an agriculture business in Iowa.

IVCC opens Peter Miller Community Technology Center OGLESBY — Undaunted by frigid breezes and overcast skies on Saturday, hundreds of supporters, employees and elected officials witnessed a new era at Illinois Valley Community College: The unveiling of the 80,000-square-foot Peter Miller Community Technology Center.

“We take great pride in having the word community in our name, and for the next 89 years our pledge to you is we will always respond to the needs of the community we serve in this magnificent new building,” IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said at the grand opening.

Early on in the program, Corcoran credited State Rep. Frank Mautino (D-Spring Valley) and former State Sen. Gary Dahl (R-Granville) for helping to secure 75 percent of the project’s construction funding from the state.

Miller Group Charitable Trust representative Joyce McCullough, who along with Cathy Miller, facilitated a $1 million capital campaign gift to name the building in memory of Peter Miller Jr. and his son.

Peter Miller III, said, “When Jerry Corcoran, Reed Wilson and Fran Brolley invited us to lunch a couple years ago, I had no idea it would lead to something as grand as this.

“If you tour this facility, I think you will see what great opportunities it has to offer everyone in our communities – the communities the Millers spent their lives serving.”

Cathy Miller said, “I know Peter and Pete would be so very pleased to be a part of this. If they were here with us today, they would be the first in line for the tour. They both were so passionate about new technology.

We can think of no better way to commemorate their memories than through the Peter Miller Community Technology Center.”

Corcoran also praised other major donors: 1982 IVCC alumnus and machine tool industry leader Dan Janka for the donation of a $300,000 vertical milling machine; Bill and Dian Taylor of Winnetka, $100,000; 1951 LPO Junior College alumnus Ralph Scriba of Palos Verdes, Calif., $50,000; and 1971 IVCC alumnus Jim Kozel of Laguna Nigel, Calif., $20,000. Kozel, a native of Oglesby, attended the ceremony with family.

He also gave special recognition to Vice President for Business Services and Finance Cheryl Roelfsema for leading the construction project and to Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Workforce

Development Sue Isermann for directing the purchasing plan for technology and equipment.

American Federation of Teachers Local 1810 President Mike Phillips also credited area legislators for their support of the college in Springfield and praised the skilled work of local building tradesmen.

Executive Director of the Illinois Capital Development Board Jim Underwood lauded building contractor George Sollitt Construction Co. of Wood Dale for completing the building 30 days ahead of schedule.

The project, part of $30.5 million in enhancements that also include demolition of east campus temporary buildings, received $22.8 million from Gov. Pat Quinn’s “Illinois Jobs Now!” capital construction program.

Following a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, guests were taken on guided tours led by administrators and student ambassadors armed with iPads to assist their knowledge of the new environment.

The ceremony began with a flagpole dedication by Student Veterans Association representative Yvette Lucas of LaSalle, a flag presented by the Marine Corps League and the National Anthem sung by IVCC Chorale Director Norm

Engstrom.

A c c o m m o d a t ing IVCC’s increasing demand for high-tech, high-growth programs, the CTC will house labs and classrooms for computer aided engineering and design (CAD), computer networking, electronics, industrial electricity, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, wind energy and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC).

Continuing Education including the Business Training Center, Adult Education and Project Success will also call the CTC home as will student services such as counseling, admissions, financial aid and career services.

With geothermal heating and cooling, IVCC expects to achieve LEED Gold certification, a testament to its energy-efficient, environmentallyfriendly design.

Mautino drew a laugh when he said not everything at IVCC has changed since he attended in the early 1980s.

“Before the ceremony, I took my mother down to the cafeteria and saw students were still playing euchre on the same tables I played on.”

In closing, Corcoran said, “generations of students have benefitted because they attended IVCC and generations will follow.”

From Page 1 interim sheriff position. While in the state police, Rosenow was sergeant and District 17 range master and fleet supervisor.

His year as interim Bureau County Sheriff was very interesting and a great experience, Rosenow said.

That time gave him the inside advantage to know the operations of the sheriff’s office and department. One thing he wants to accomplish, if elected sheriff, is to curtail spending in the department, he said.

A graduate of Western High School in Buda, Rosenow served four years in the U.S. Air Force and attended Illinois Valley and Sauk Valley junior colleges, receiving his associate’s degree from Black Hawk East.

Rosenow is currently in his 18th year as mayor of Sheffield. He is a 46-year member of the American Legion and is currently H.F. Hortz American Legion Post 415 commander

and current adjutant. He also served for 14 years on the Western School Board of Rosenow Education and was a member of the Lions Club and Sheffield Rescue Unit for 30 years.

He is also a member of the Princeton Moose Lodge and served for several years on the Bureau County Zoning Board. Rosenow is a member of the Methodist Church.

Rosenow and his wife, the former Mary Jo Hewitt, are the parents of three grown daughters and have three grandchildren.

Again stating why he is running for the office of Bureau County Sheriff, Rosenow said he has a deep love for police work and for helping others. He has many years of experience in law enforcement, and he believes he’s the right candidate for the Republican Party’s nomination, Rosenow said.

Dale Price Sr.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Jessica Jane Sergeant, 32, of Davenport, Iowa, formerly of Walnut, passed away died Friday, Nov. 1, 2013, at the Walnut Manor Nursing Home in Walnut after a sixyear battle with Li Fraumeni disease, a rare cancer causing disease.

Jessica was born on Sept. 12, 1981, in Walnut, the daughter of Jeff and Sally (Rodgers) Wallace. She was united in marriage to James Jessica Sergeant Jr. on Aug. 19, 2006, at the Maxson Sergeant Manor in Oregon, Ill. She worked at Allied Locke in Dixon for several years and at John Deere in Moline and as a Tastefully Simple representative.

Jessica loved to run and was a member of the Rock River Road Runners. Despite having part of her lung removed, Jessica was determined to run as a member of the 2009-2010 Sauk Valley Community College cross country team that qualified for nationals. She was always an active person. She participated in basketball, softball, track, cross country and karate.

She is survived by her husband, James Sergeant Jr. of Davenport, Iowa; her parents, Jeff and Sally Wallace of Walnut; two sisters: Danielle Wallace of Walnut and Suzy Wallace of Naperville; one brother, Darrell (Leslea) Wallace of Sterling; her maternal grandparents, Kenny and Alice Rodgers of Sheffield; two uncles, James (Madolyn) Wallace of LaMoille and Jerry (Chris) Wallace of Champaign; and one aunt, Judy Patton of San Diego, Calif. She also left behind three beloved cats, Paws, Jasper and Muffin. She will dearly miss her nephews, niece and numerous cousins.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Marvin and Lorena Wallace of Walnut.

Jessica wanted to thank and remember all those who shared memories with her. These memories include swimming at the Walnut pool, scrambling for pennies at family reunions, running road races, her annual Fourth of July parties, family get togethers at the Rock River, and playing at Grandpa Rodgers’ farm.

Jessica was a true inspiration to all, especially through her battle with cancer. She is tougher than cancer. Never did she become disheartened. Cancer was not going to stop her from leading a normal life. Jessica said that if her life was summed up in three words it would be: “Totally worth it!”

A time of sharing will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the Garland Funeral Home in Walnut. A celebration of life will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Please feel free to wear the orange or gray benefit T-shirts to her services in honor of Jessica’s celebration of life.

Meeting Minutes Princeton Elementary School Board PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School Board took the following action at its Oct. 28 meeting at Reagan Middle School in Tiskilwa: • Heard from Superintendent Tim Smith the state of Illinois owes PES a total of $366,019 in back payments, as of Sept. 30, for the current fiscal year. Of that amount, $261,271 is owed in the education fund, including $136,525 in the Early Childhood grant program.

Another $104,748 is owed in the transportation fund.

• Authorized Smith to apply for the Fiscal Year 2014 school maintenance grant in the amount of $130,800, which would be used at Lincoln, Douglas, Jefferson, Reagan and Logan buildings for security/camera upgrades. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant, which would be handled through the district’s life safety fund.

• Also authorized Smith to apply for the Energy Efficiency Grant in the amount of $168,000. The 50/50 grant would be used for boiler work upgrades in all school buildings. The upgrade would be expected to realize about $20,000 in energy savings for the district.

• Approved the District Improvement Plan as presented. The plan looks at a variety of indicators, as determined by the state, and determines how that indicator is developed within the district, as well as the priority and implementation of that indicator, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Barb Valle said. The plan is a continuous improvement plan which requires ongoing assessment throughout the year, she said.

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave... and weep I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die Mom and Dad, Sara, David, Abbey

From the editor’s desk If you didn’t notice, Jack Frost played a hard trick on us Saturday night, which left us waking up to more color on the trees than when we went to bed. Early Sunday morning and throughout much of the day, the leaves were dropping like crazy — offering us a carpet of yellow, orange and red on the ground.

Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 a.m.

Sunday, and if you’re like me, my sleeping patterns are totally messed up. As I write this column on Monday at about 9 a.m., Terri I’ve already been up for six hours. Doubtful Simon I’ll make it to the 10 p.m. TV news tonight without falling asleep early, which means I’ll be up and at it early again in the morning. Is it just me, or do any of you have a sleeping issue with this time change? If it’s any consolation, Daylight Saving Time begins again on March 9, 2014!

••• I’ve noticed about a million geese flying over my house, presumably heading south for the winter. Likewise, there are just as many gathered around the pond out here by the Bureau County Republican office. Actually, they kind of creep me out.

For our local snow birds — our readers who will be or have headed south for the winter, we’ve changed our policy on forwarding your newspaper to your sunny location outside of Bureau County. Please call Brandie in our Circulation Department for details at 815-8754461, ext. 239.

••• Can you believe it’s already November? Whoa!

Where did the year go? It won’t be long before we’ll be up to our elbows in holiday preparations. From your fragrant roast turkey to all the side dishes to that scrumptious dessert, the BCR would like to — once again — help you add some new recipes to your holiday recipe box.

Because it was so popular last year, the BCR will again publish its “A Homemade Holiday,” filled with recipes from you — our readers. Last year’s edition was so wonderful, and we’ve already had readers asking when this year’s special section will be published.

It’s really easy to participate. Without using any abbreviations (spell out words like tablespoon, ounces, etc.), type or print out your favorite holiday recipe(s).

Make sure the directions to the recipe are complete and easy to understand. Include your first and last name, your hometown, your email and telephone number.

(Your telephone and email will not be published.)

You can submit your recipe via a variety of venues, including by email at news@bcrnews.com. You can also use our online form at www.bcrnews.com/forms/recipe.

You’re also welcome to mail your recipe to the BCR at P.O. Box 340, Princeton, IL 61356, or you can drop it off at our office at 800 Ace Road, Princeton. Keep in mind the BCR has an after-hours drop box at the rear of our building, where you can also deposit your recipe if our office is not open.

If you get your recipe(s) to us by 5 p.m. on Nov. 22, we’ll enter your name in a drawing for a $100 holiday baking basket filled with a plethora of goodies to help you with your holiday baking. The final deadline to submit a recipe is 5 p.m. Nov. 27. Absolutely no recipes will be accepted after that date. You’ll receive your “A Homemade Holiday” section in your newspaper on Dec. 14 — just in time to add some new recipes to your holiday meal preparations.

••• As long as we’re talking about the holiday, please try to shop locally when you can. It’s a win-win situation for everyone when you do!

••• Christmas in the Valley is Saturday, where you’ll find a myriad of fun, great shopping and entertainment. I’ll see you there!

••• Thought for the day: “How did it get so late so soon?”

On the street

Do you think that businesses and schools should be closed on Veterans Day?

“Yes, they should be closed. It’s a tradition.

People get a chance to reflect on the day and understand the meaning of Veterans Day.” Shanna Sweger, Princeton

“Yes, they should be closed. We need to support our servicemen past and present.”

Pat Croissant, Dalzell

“They should be closed as a sign of respect for the people that fought for our freedom. They are our living history.”

Heidi McCloskey, Spring Valley

“They should be closed.

It’s important to honor our veterans based on what they’ve done for us.”

Rachel Nelson, Wyanet

“I think that children should be in school. They need to be taught why the day is important. Most kids don’t even understand why they are off of school. Businesses should be open if they aren’t doing anything special to honor veterans.”

Madeleine Robinson, Dalzell

Honest Abe and cable TV “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

Everyone is familiar with this quote, often mistakenly attributed to P.T. Barnum, but in fact muttered first by Abraham Lincoln.

It’s obvious to me from that questionable opinion (not to mention the fact that Lincoln died in 1865) that Abe was never employed by an electronic entertainment/visual media conglomerate ... because had he worn a stovepipe hat with a satellite TV or cable company logo emblazoned on the front, the last part of that quote would have read ... ”but with the proper strategic marketing campaign, I can fool nearly everyone 99 percent of the time.” If employers such as these had padded Abraham’s resume, “Honest” Abe would have been a misnomer, and instead of The Rail Splitter, his other much more colorful nickname, “A-Linc” would forever after be known among his circle of friends, and perhaps throughout history as, “The Co-axial Cable Splitter.”

Though well documented as a possessor of extraordinary oratorical skills, it is an absolute impossibility (even at the height of his popularity) that Lincoln could have convinced me of the need for The Hopper (a DVR which, as the incredulous announcer voice informs us, can record up to 2,000

Chuck Mason COMMENTARY HOURS of your favorite programming).

That, for my math-challenged friends, is just over 83 days straight (without sleep) of horribly written and acted, cliché riddled, recycled joke filled, low brow productions masquerading as entertainment. To further illustrate the ridiculousness of this claim as an attractive feature to consumers, one would have to listen to Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods sing “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero” 30,000 times to equal the time capacity of a single Hopper.

Figuring in my average of (at minimum) eight hours a day at work, five hours of sleep, four combined hours of reading and/or listening to music, and five hours of other various necessary survival activities, that leaves me with about two hours a day (if I don’t encounter a slow coal train on my way to or from work) for TV viewing. Out of those two hours, 35 minutes are commercials (which I am theoretically paying to view, even though the advertisers themselves have doled out a sizeable chunk of change to have them broadcast) for products I have no interest in ever purchasing, or

for more unappealing (and if you believe the hype, highly anticipated) ridiculously-scripted network projects. At that rate of 85 minutes per day, one full Hopper would take me almost 3.8 years to fully view. The Voyager space probe travelled to Jupiter in less time.

The other thing old Abe the satellite TV guy would have a difficult time making me believe, is that his company provides me and my family with a great entertainment for the dollar value. Let’s see, I have (more or less) 400 channels to choose from, half of those broadcast in a language I can’t understand. There are (it seems) 50 selections for 24-hour news, which really isn’t news as much as it is opinions from people I don’t trust. Multiple religious, food, shopping and “Big Bang Theory” rerun selections round out the majority of what’s left. So it comes down to a monthly bill of $130 for a few hours of programming on the History Channel, a couple of sporting events and “Austin City Limits.”

Ol’ Abe should feel lucky he was just the president, because the Lincoln-Douglas debates are gonna be nothing compared to my call to customer service.

TO Letter THE Editor

Wow! What about that COLA! To the Editor, Social Security is giving us a cost of living raise (COLA). It

is going to be a whole 1-1/2 percent increase in what you are now receiving. In the case of my wife and I, this will amount to $28. Yippee!

Medicare will take their share leaving

us with about $27 a month additional deposited in the bank.

How nice! Bacon is $6 to $7 dollars a pound; a quart of 2 percent milk is $2.08; and a loaf of wheat bread is $2.98.

After splurging on groceries, we have enough left over to go to the Apollo on popcorn Tuesday night. That’s if we walk.

Baldonado punches ticket to state

Hall’s Collin Aimone grabs a hold of Bismarck-Henning’s Mo Abbed’s shirt in Saturday’s 2A playoff opener at Bismarck. After scoring a first-quarter touchdown, the Blue Devils couldn’t escape the grasps of the Red Devils’ defense, who led Hall to a 20-7 win on the road. Hall returns home to play Momence at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Bedeviled

OREGON — After missing out on a trip downstate in the IHSA 1A cross country meet by one place last year, Hall High School’s Al Baldonado made sure there was a comfortable buffer between him and the make it or break it bubble.

The Red Devil junior placed fifth with a time of 16 minutes, 12 second on the 3-mile Park West course in Oregon. T.J. Pitcock of Byron, who like Baldonado ran 16:42 last year at the sectional, took first at 16:01.

“When the race started, I got packed in at about 30th place,” Baldonado said. “I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to break away and get separation.”

The concern didn’t last long, though, as Baldonado, Pitcock, two Annawan Wethersfield runners and Nick Monkemeyer of Rockford Christian eventually made up the lead pack.

“I stayed with (Michael) Cook of Wethersfield in

He’s always a little ahead of me, and I hung with him,” Baldonado said.

Pitcock, with a strong running stride, began to distance himself from the others and Baldonado was content to take a topfive finish.

In the team competition, Bureau Valley made a push for a state berth, but finished two spots out in seventh place.

Winnebago, ranked No. 1 in the state by dyestat. com, took first with 82 points, followed by qualifiers Rockford Christian, El Paso, Sterling Newman and Rock Falls.

Rock Falls had 174 points to 196 for the Storm.

3A playoffs: Winnebago 34, St. Bede 25

Bruins fall short on upset bid to ‘Bago

By Andy Colbert Shaw Media Service

WINNEBAGO – After running the gauntlet in what is considered one the top 3A leagues (Big Northern) in state, undefeated Winnebago found out just how tough the fifth-place finisher in the Big Rivers was.

The Indians, ranked No. 2 in the state and seeded No. 1 in 3A, barely held on to beat 15 seed Peru St. Bede 34-25 in the opening round of the 3A playoffs. St. Bede (5-5) had been the 255th team of 256 qualifying for the postseason.

“St. Bede played a phenomenal game,” Winnebago coach Mark Helm said. “They

matched up with us physically and were more ready to play than we were.”

The Bruins stunned Winnebago by taking a 19-15 lead at halftime. Two quick touchdowns early in the third quarter by Nolan Peterson gave ‘Bago a 28-19 lead they would not relinquish.

“We executed our game

plan, but they got the scores when they needed them,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said.

After the game, it was an emotionally taxing time for the Bellinos. John Bellino fought back the tears, realizing that it was the last high school game ever to be played by one of his three boys.

“We made some big plays in that second half.

Only giving up seven points. (The defense) really stepped it up. All the credit goes to them,” Hall quarterback Taggart Venegas said.

The six turnovers were a recipe for failure, BH coach Mark Dodd said.

“We kind of got what we deserved,” Dodd said.

“When you turn the ball over to good teams, you’re going to lose.”

While the Hall offense sputtered throughout the day, Venegas came up big when he needed.

He scrambled for a seven-yard touchdown to give the Red Devils a 6-0 lead Hall quarterback Taggart in the first quarter.

“Our offense wasn’t working as well to what we thought it was like we can. The defense won that game,” Aimone said.

The Hall defense gave up one big play when Donnie Ganley dashed 71 yards down the home team’s sidelines to give the Blue Devils a 7-6 lead late in the first quarter.

Bismarck outgained Hall 238-146 rushing and tallied 295 net yards offense to Hall’s 229. Venegas accounted for 115 yards rushing a 83 yards passing.

BISMARCK — Hall traveled well downstate Saturday sending one fan bus of 53 including 10 cheerleaders. Many other Hall faithful made the three-hour trip, giving the Red Devils a backing that challenged the home side in the Red Devils vs. Blue Devils affair.

“They gave us a big boost of confidence. It’s a long bus ride, we’re glad they came down to support us,” Hall quarterback Taggart Venegas.

The team took its own charter bus, leaving at 8 a.m. and arriving by 11 a.m., three hours before kickoff.

Even still, Tieman thought the Red Devils had a slow start before kicking into gear.

• One had to wonder what the BismarckHenning crowd who was still around had to think about the coach Steve Smith-led “Who’s the King of Rock and Roll” victory salute by Hall to honor the late Red Devil coach Richard Nesti. It is unlikely they have ever witnessed anything quite like it in the Vermillion Valley Conference.

• The field announcer had an assortment of nicknames for the hometown Blue Devil players. There was the Moe “the Machine” Abbed, Donnie “Money” Powell and Chase “In your Face” Swinford.

At the end of the game, the announcer wished Hall good luck and praised them for having a very good team. Bismarck also extended some southern hospitality by providing the team with a postgame meal.

• Hall junior Tyler Taber took a shot to the helmet late in the game.

He laid just off the playing field along the Hall sidelines momentarily, before being assisted to Yardsticks.............H

the bench. Hall coach Randy Tieman said Taber told him Monday morning he was feeling OK, but he was to be further examined.

• The win was the first in the playoffs for Hall since a 28-13 win over Paxton-BuckleyLoda in 2006.

Hall will be coming home for second-round play, hosting Momence at 2 p.m. Saturday at Nesti Stadium. Like Hall, Momence had an upset win of its own on the road Saturday, defeating No. 2 Clifton Central 13-6.

The Red Devils gained the homefield advantage as the higher seed, a No. 6 to No. 7. Hall last played at home in the playoffs in 2006 against PaxtonBuckley-Loda.

• Hall senior defensive end Matt Briddick received second team all-conference recognition by the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. His first name was released incorrectly by the conference and thus reported incorrectly in Saturday’s BCR. The BCR regrets the error.

Newman racked up 257 yards on 48 carries, and its defense held Fieldcrest to 36 yards, 18 of them rushing and 18 of them passing.

“Our defense dug their feet in the trenches and held their ground for awhile,” Fieldcrest coach Nate Lorton told Shaw

From Page 11 “It’s my last kid,” Bellino said. “It’s hard on me. Michael and I were so close.”

After Winnebago regained the lead 28-19, the Bruins closed to within 28-25 on its next possession on a Justin Shaw 24-yard touchdown run on fourth down.

St. Bede then caught a break, as an Indian 30-yard gain was wiped out by a holding penalty and Nick Needs forced a fumble on the very next play that was recovered

by Brady Booker.

Taking over at ‘Bago’s 33-yard line, Shaw ran 13 yards and quarterback Jack Brady found Braidy Shipp for nine yards.

With the Indians reeling, St. Bede appeared to be on the verge of taking back the lead.

However, a secondand-1 at the 11-yard line turned into a missed opportunity as a 5-yard penalty for not having seven players at the line of scrimmage nullified a Michael Bellino firstdown run.

“Our kids played their hearts out, but we’re not a good catch-up team,” Bellino said.

St. Bede continued to shut down the vaunted Indian offensive attack, forcing three fourth-quarter punts, leading a chaingang member to comment that he’s never seen anyone tackle Winnebago as well as the youthful Bruins were doing.

“They’re run-oriented and we felt we can play with them,” Bellino said.

Zack Beck had consecutive interceptions for the Indians, thwarting St. Bede scoring chances in the fourth quarter.

After Beck’s second interception, Michael Pate tacked on an 11-yard touchdown run to make it 35-24 in favor of the Indians.

“They gave us all we could handle,” Pate said.

“They were fired up and we were flat.”

Winnebago took an 8-0 lead on its first drive, but St. Bede responded with a 77-yard drive, capped by Michael Bellino’s 13-yard run.

The teams then traded scores, with a Brady 33-yard pass to Shaw making it 15-13 in favor of ‘Bago.

Penalties by ‘Bago kept a St. Bede drive alive that started at the 13-yard line. A 48-yard pass from Brady to Shaw moved the ball into ‘Bago territory.

Bellino went for 12 yards and finished the drive off with a 2-yard touchdown for the 19-15 lead.

Top 5 finishers: 1. Kelsey Hildreth (Byron) 18:29, 2. Kirstie

From Page 11 top as converted diver Kelsey Hildreth won with a time of 18:29.

“We’re ecstatic. Our teams rallied around T.J. and Kelsey,” Byron coach Mike McHale said.

Regan Weidner of Bureau Valley who took second in the state last year, had to settle for competing just for the sake of competing. Hampered by a stress fracture and losing most of the season to recovering, Weidner took 52nd place with a time of 21:13.

Last year, she ran 18:37 to take second to Julie James of El Paso.

“I’m glad to see Regan back,” BV coach Dale Donner said.

“Realistically, I knew (qualifying) wasn’t possible,” Weidner said. “Next year, I’ll be healthier, and we’re going to have a good team.”

Weidner feels she may have trained too much in the offseason and plans to enter her senior year with a different mindset.

“I’ll take a smarter approach,” Weidner said.

Another BV runner who qualified last year, but missed this year was Ryan Taylor. Taylor took 25th with a time of 17:10 to lead the Storm boys.

“It’s a tough course, about a minute off from what you’re used to doing,” Donner said.

Freshman Megan Grady of Amboy/LaMoille became the first girl from Amboy to qualify for state, finishing sixth with a time of 19:33. She was pleased to have her name up on the Amboy school records alongside her father, Jim, the 880-yard record holder in track for

Hall junior Al Baldonado cruises in to a fifth-place finish at Saturday’s Oregon Sectional to qualify for state for the first time. the Clippers. There will soon be another Grady on the wall of records in some fashion.

“It feels really good, because my dad had a record in track, so now my name is right next to his,” Grady said.

The next local finisher among the girls was Zoe Mead of Princeton, who took 17th with a time of 20:22. The final individual state-qualifying time was 20:08, ran

by Rock Falls’ Makeley Velazequez who placed 13th.

“She had herself in pretty good position to make it,” Princeton coach Pat Hodge said.

“She caught at least four to five girls toward the end. It was her best race

of the year.”

“I think I kept my pace, but felt like I was dragging,” said Mead, who ran in the sectional all four years. “I don’t know if it was the cold or not sleeping enough.”

Annawan-Wethersfield topped Byron 83-148 for the girls team title with fourth-place HenrySenachwine (154) also qualifying.

Notes: PHS sophomore Cody Workman finished 107th with a time of 18:53.35. While it was not his season best, Hodge noted it was a minute and a half faster and over 40 places better than last year at sectional.
