Extending a healthy handshake It’s a deal; local health departments merge with Marshall County

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Tuesday, Dec. 1, will mark the first day the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department will begin extending services to Marshall County.

The health department office in Marshall County, which is located in Lacon, will be closed on that one day as employees will be installing new computers, wireless Internet and connections to resources needed in the office. Marshall County Health Department (MCHD)

employees will also officially become Bureau County employees on that day.

Bureau/Putnam County Health Department Director Diana Rawlings explained Marshall County Board of Health (MCHD) first approached Bureau County about the extension of services two years ago. The MCHD had been contracting services with Peoria City County Health Department since the 1980s, however decided to stop contracting with them this year due to financial reasons.

“I’m honored the Marshall County Health Board

sees the good that Bureau and Putnam County health departments are working so hard to do and has decided to partner with us,” Rawlings said. “The adjustment will take some time, but together we have the potential to go beyond basic services and do some wonderful things with our communities.”

The county health department merger is not a new idea, as Rawlings explained counties have been partnering to provide public health services in Illinois for a long time. Bureau and Putnam counties and also Henry and Stark counties have been partnering for more than 15 years.

More than just a meal

20 years ... and counting DePue still waiting for Superfund issue to be resolved

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — Friday, Nov. 6, marked 20 years since the signing of an interim consent order by the Illinois Attorney General’s office charging Exxon/ Mobil and CBS/Viacom with the responsibility of coming up with a plan to resolve the contamination issues in DePue. Twenty years later ... and DePue is still waiting on that cleanup plan.

“For some reason people my age think of 1995 as not being that long ago, however when you think of 20-plus years of being exposed to numerous heavy metals, that is a lifetime or the end of a lifetime,” said Eric Bryant, mayor of DePue. Bryant said while the country has come in and out of recessions throughout the years, DePue has remained under a 20-plus year depression from the

Superfund issues that continue to haunt the small village.

While the cleanup progress made in the last five years has been encouraging, Bryant continues to be furious about the whole Superfund process and the mess it has caused.

“The things the responsible parties are able to do to extend or delay the process and the things

Hall Township Food Pantry goes the extra mile during the holidays

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — As far as Jan Martin is concerned, the age old testimony rings true — ask, and it shall be given unto you.

Martin, director of the Hall Township Food Pantry, said the holidays are always an important time of exchange for those who have little to spare, as well as those who have much to give.

Although she is grateful for every item

offered to the food pantry, she usually sends out an appeal letter around this time of the year to all generous individuals in the community asking them to donate what they can.

“We need household supplies right now, like dishwasher liquid and hand soap because people can’t use food stamps for those type of things,” Martin said, adding nutritional staples like cereal, soup and rice would also be put to good use.

Martin said a woman recently left the food pantry shedding tears of appreciation, voicing she wouldn’t know what to do without the pantry. This woman supports a family of four on $500 a month because most every penny she has goes

Princeton and the end of World War II A love letter provides a window into the past

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — On Aug. 14, 1945, the world gathered together in the hearts of its cities to celebrate the best news it had received in many years; the war which had engulfed it for the past six years was finally over. There is newsreel footage of the celebrations which took place in large cities across the globe, but the similar expressions of relief and joy weren’t only in the big cities; they happened in the world’s small towns as well, towns which millions of servicemen and women called home ... towns like Princeton.

A love letter written by a newlywed wife on this incredible day provides a glimpse as to how Princeton reacted to such world-changing news.

Princeton resident Connie Oeder provided the letter from which the excerpt was taken, written by her mother and sent to her father, Robert Peterson. She also provided other documents which contain much of the following information. Corrections were made to minor errors which were obviously made because of the emotional state in which the letter was written.

Robert Peterson graduated from Princeton High School in 1941. He was employed as a welder until he entered service in December 1942. Like his older brother Randall, who took part in 55 successful European missions as a gunner aboard a B-17 Flying Fortress, Robert experienced the war in a bomber. However, Robert was a radio operator aboard a B-24, and he was also very far from Europe, stationed on the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska.

Bombers from the Aleutians faced the perilous task of flying through treacherous weather as they crossed the North Pacific on their way to bomb Japanese fortifications on the Kurils, a small island chain north of Japan. Missions to the Kurils were the longest over-water combat flights yet attempted during the war. Peterson and his crew flew 13 missions over Japanese territory before fate arrived in the form of Japanese flak. Their plane heavily damaged and with a diminishing fuel supply, it was decided an emergency landing in the Soviet city of Petropavlovsk was better than a risky flight across the dangerous waters of an open ocean with unpredictable weather.

Because of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality

Pact, which was still in effect at the time, Allied air crews landing in Soviet territory were interned in Siberia. After being held for a period of time however, they were allowed to “escape,” a clever way for the Soviets to assist the other Allied powers while appearing to honor their pact with Japan.

The crew having not returned to the Aleutians, Peterson’s family soon received a telegram which no family ever wants to see arrive on their doorstep; their son, Robert, was missing in action. After several agonizing weeks they received the news they had all been hoping for; their son was alive. After his time in Siberia, Peterson returned home to Illinois in January 1945, he was stationed at Chanute Field in Rantoul for the remainder of the war.

Once back in Illinois, Peterson would hitchhike home to Princeton whenever possible. He soon asked Hollowayville’s Lenore Hassler to marry him. They were wed in July, shortly before the end of the war and enjoyed a short honeymoon in Chicago Princeton’s Connie Oeder has ensured her family’s keepsakes from World War II are well while he had a three-day pass.

Until Peterson’s discharge in October documented and preserved. The stories of the Allied bombers who crash landed in Russia 1945 the newlyweds wrote to each other after bombing Japan are detailed in the book “Home from Siberia” by Otis Hays Jr. daily. Lenore’s letter dated Aug. 14, 1945, was written 45 minutes after the announcement of the end of the war and captured Princeton’s emotional reaction.

Lenore wrote “... the war is over. Darling, I’m so happy. This is the noisiest town I’ve ever seen. The blackout whistle is blowing, cars by the 50 are going down Main blowing their horns, shooting fireworks, the fire truck is going up and down the street blowing it’s whistle, church bells are ringing, shooting guns, trucks loaded with kids going by yelling their heads off, a band is playing uptown, and everything, including taverns, are closed for two days and to top it all off I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out. I’m so happy, if only you were here.”

After the war, Robert and Lenore spent the rest of their lives together. Lenore passed away in 1992 and Robert in 2010. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Through their love for each other, Lenore’s letter helps show how the entire city came together in celebrating the Princeton’s Staff Sgt. end of one of the most devastating events Robert Peterson Robert and Lenore Peterson in history. It can now help Princeton unite once again in honoring those who fought for the freedom of the world.

Robert Peterson smuggled home his sole souvenir from his time in Siberia, as interned pilots were not allowed to bring home any mementos from their time with the Soviets. His daughter said this was his favorite item from the war, his proof that he’d been there.

Economic development corporation reaches milestone Three county EDCNCI raises more than 75 percent of budget goal The purpose of the new Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI) is to forge the local governments and private business sectors of Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties into a team with the ability and resources to aggressively pursue economic growth and new job creation for the three-county region.

To accomplish this, the interim board of directors of the EDCNCI have set a goal of raising $400,000 per year in pledged financial investments from the public and private sectors to cover the cost of starting up and then operating the new economic development corporation throughout the next three years.

The $400,000 budget includes everything from office and staff expenses to a strong marketing effort.

The board is pleased to report it has now raised $302,000 in pledges or almost 76 percent of its $400,000 goal for each of the next three years. The pledges have come in the form of resolutions passed by the governing bodies of public entities or by letters of commitment from the private sector. No cash payments will be requested until the board believes it has enough pledged funding in place to ensure a successful start for the new organization.

“It is time for everyone in the Illinois Valley to finally begin to work together to bring growth and new jobs to our area,” said Debb Ladgenski, EDCNCI coordinator and Spring Valley Director of Economic Development. “We have a lot of valuable resources here, but no city working just on its own has the means to get the word out about them.

Areas all around us have been taking this regional approach for years. We really need to catch up.”

Public sector investors so far include the counties of Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam, the cities of Spring Valley, LaSalle, Mendota, Oglesby, Princeton, Peru, Ottawa and Marseilles and the villages of Granville, Hennepin, Ladd, Standard, Mark and North Utica.

Private sector investors include Hometown National Bank, Miller Group Media, Central Bank, MBI, LaSalle State Bank, Marquis Energy, Ameren Illinois, NICOR, JB Contracting, Economic Development Group/Jacob & Klein, TriCon Materials, Mertel Gravel and D.J. Sickley Construction.

For more information or to request a presentation to your organization, please contact Debb Ladgenski at 815303-4327 or sveconomics@comcast. net.

Mautino announces laws to assist Illinois veterans SPRING VALLEY — In recognition of the upcoming observation of Veterans Day, state Rep. Frank Mautino is highlighting two new laws that were passed this year to assist Illinois’ veterans.

“Far too many of our veterans are struggling to keep up with rising cost of living,” Mautino said. “I took steps in the Legislature this year to help the brave men and women who served our nation keep more of their hard earned money.”

Legislation supported by Mautino allows more disabled veterans to qualify for a property tax exemption. Senate Bill 107 expands eligibility to veterans who are classified as 30 to 49 percent disabled, allowing those homeowners to be eligible for a $2,500 exemption.

Additionally, the measure increases current property tax exemption for former service men and women with 50 to 69 percent disability from $2,500 to $5,000.

Veterans with a disability of 70 percent or more would be eligible for a full property exemption.

Illinois veterans will also soon have the opportunity to save money thanks to legislation passed by the General Assembly, which creates the Veterans’ and Military Discount Program. The program is similar to a successful Cook County discount program where businesses participate by offering discounts to both veterans and active duty military personnel. This new law will give

“Disabled veterans will have less fear of losing their home due to their inability to pay rising property taxes.”

Illinois Rep. Frank Mautino qualifying individuals the choice of having their veteran status indicated on their driver’s license.

Active duty members will be able to use their Common Access Cards issued by the Department of Defense to receive discounts.

Participation by businesses is voluntary, and they will be able to set up the discount or money-saving promotion as they would prefer.

“Disabled veterans will have less fear of losing their home due to their inability to pay rising property taxes,” Mautino said. “Illinois’ new Veteran and Military Discount Program will allow businesses the opportunity to recognize all veterans for their service and sacrifice, while helping those who served save a little on purchases they make.”

‘Celebrate Sheffield’ at the Sheffield Public Library SHEFFIELD — The Sheffield Public Library will again be participating in “Celebrate Sheffield,” the annual holiday event which will take place on Saturday, Nov. 14.

The library will be open that day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The library will carry out its theme for this year’s celebration, “Believe in the Magic of Books” with many holiday decorations including a running train in honor of the 30th anniversary of the book, “The Polar Express.”

Karl Rahr will portray the conductor in the book, and children will have the opportunity to have “Believe” tickets punched. Refreshments, including cheeses, dips, candy, coffee and punch, will be served.

A book sale will also be held featuring books from “Books are Fun,” a nationwide company that offers a

ds n u g ro ir Fa n y u ty o C u re a Bu le Huge Ga age Sa

Sun., Nov. 15th

diverse selection of books, educational items and gifts at reasonable rates. The items will be pay and take.

This would be a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping.

In conjunction with the event, librarian Sue Lanxon will also be reading two new holiday books for the children in the children’s department at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The children can also participate in a “make and take” craft which accompany the book titles.

The Sheffield Public Library urges everyone to visit and participate in the silent auction held as part of the “Celebrate Sheffield” event. The library has prepared a holiday book basket containing “new” holiday books for children. Some of the titles included in the basket are

“Express 30th Anniversary” edition, “A Shiloh Christmas,” “The Pups Save Christmas (Paw Patrol),” “Frozen Olaf’s Night Before Christmas” book and CD, and “Santa’s Sleigh is on its Way to Illinois.” A special “I Believe” boxed ornament is also included. All proceeds from the basket auction will be given to Cornerstone Community Wellness Center. A container where shoppers can drop their Sheffield Bucks will also be located in the library.

Remember many holiday-themed titles are available at the library or favorite holiday books can be ordered through the RAILS interlibrary loan system. Regular library hours are Monday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon.

Hall Food Pantry “We believe by partnering together we can provide quality, responsible public health services economically for all.”

Diana Rawlings, administrator, Bureau, Putnam, Marshall counties health department

Marshall County From Page 1 “For rural counties especially, working together to provide public health services make sense, as it allows us to share resources and provide more services overall,” she said.

Rawlings said the new partnership will be beneficial for all three counties, as each one shares very similar community health needs unique to the rural setting.

“It will allow us to share resources and staffing, and bring new programming to each county,” she said.

Rawlings said a main goal for the merger will be to identify programs that are working well in Bureau and Putnam counties and take them to Marshall County ... and vice versa.

“Once we do that, we will begin looking at other available services that would meet the health needs of our communities,” she said.

Another perk about the merger, is the health departments together will be able to apply for larger grants.

The three counties now encompass a larger rural area with a population just over 50,000. Rawlings said this larger, yet still rural collaboration, may qualify the health departments for funding that individually the department would not qualify for.

As the health department prepares for the partnership, Rawlings admitted there will be a few challenges to work through, such as getting new staff trained, bringing in technology changes and putting together schedules while maintaining current services, but she said working together from the very beginning should help them to begin thinking and working as a cohesive team.

“We believe by partnering together we can provide quality, responsive public health services economically for all,” she said.

There will be four full-time and one part-time employees assigned to the office in Marshall County.

“Most people don’t want to come here, but they’re struggling, so in many cases they’re not trying to take advantage of the system, but simply good people with more of a hand up than a hand out,” said Martin, suggesting it’s difficult to relate to someone who can’t afford the basics. “We just take so much for granted because for many of us, everything’s there, and if it’s not we just go buy it.”

Martin said the food pantry works especially hard during the holidays to provide special menus to their visitors, and they’ll be handing out cooked apple and pumpkin pies, quilts and blankets in addition to the ingredients of a quality feast. She said so many families in need will still turn down goods because they are conscientious of weary stomachs far hungrier than

The people making the decisions for the cleanup don’t live here, don’t have kids living here, don’t eat food out of the gardens, don’t have any sense of urgency to fix the problem. They work for the IEPA or the responsible parties who want to minimize the issues and seem to have no compassion for the people living here.”

the number of properties to be cleaned up in DePue and other Superfund sites,” Bryant said, adding some months later the village was informed current U.S. EPA lead standard of 400ppm in soil does yield the accepted level of 5ug/dcl in children’s’ blood.

“It would be nice to see the documentation on this,” he said.

Bryant said the whole Superfund cleanup process reeks with delays, manipulation of data, no passion for residents of a low income community and environmental injustice.

“But we will continue to fight this battle and do our best to get this small town the cleanup it deserves,” he said.

Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight December 10, 2015. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1021 N. Grand Ave. East PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/524-0922, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian. hawkins@illinois.gov.

Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ ilonline.html. Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains T1 conditions in section 4.1.2 that were established in previously issued permits. The permit contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

On the street

Do you think children should attend school on Veterans Day? Why or why not?

“Yes, they should attend school because I think they have more opportunity to honor and meet veterans through the various programs that are put on at the schools.”

Margaret Devenney, Sheffield

Remembrance On Veterans Day, we honor the brave.

The determined people, who fought to save.

They fight for the nation to be thriving and free.

If not for them, where would we be?

They keep our strong freedom alive, In a world where it’s tough to survive.

“No, they should not attend school because it is a special holiday when they should learn why it’s called Veterans Day. They should honor all veterans who served their country.”

Carolyn Barkley, Wyanet

Remember this from year to year, What heroes gave, it won’t disappear.

We will always keep clear a place in our heart, Our gratitude and thankfulness shall never part.

And though we may not know all names.

We thank each and every veteran the same.

America, raise your flags to wave, For we truly are “Home of the Brave.”

“Yes, we should be in school learning about the importance of Veterans Day. So many schools have programs to honor our veterans, and this is more meaningful than what kids would do if we had the day off.”

Eileen Behrends, Tiskilwa

Keeley Robinson, 13, of Princeton is a student at Logan Junior High School in Princeton.

From the editor’s desk Wednesday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. I hope you took the time to read the poem we placed above my column today. It was written by 13-year-old Keeley Robinson, and eighth-grader at Logan Junior High School in Princeton.

I was impressed with her work, her insight and the inspiration it creates. I hope it was meaningful to you too.

While there are a few Veterans Day ceremonies at area schools today, Tuesday, the majority of them are set for Wednesday in most all schools across the county. Likewise, several towns and villages in the area will be Terri Simon hosting Veterans Day observances. I hope you will take the time out of your schedule to attend one or more of these events. If you can’t, please take a moment of your day to quietly offer some sincere thanks to our nation’s veterans.

Perhaps young Keeley says it best ... “Remember this from year to year, What heroes gave, it won’t disappear.”

We should be so mindful ... Thanks, Keeley.

••• Congratulations are again in order to the Hall Red Devils and the Princeton Tigers — both teams won their second-round playoff games and have reached the state quarterfinals. If it the first time both teams have reached the quarterfinals together.

On Friday, Princeton beat Chicago Raby 43-8, and on Saturday, Hall beat Bismarck-Henning 35-23.

Upcoming: Princeton plays Elmhurst Immaculate Conception Catholic at home at 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, and Hall plays Annawan/Wethersfield at home on the same day at 2 p.m.

Go Tigers! Go Red Devils! You’ve already made us proud, but your fans at the Bureau County Republican are always rooting for you. A big hats off as well to the coaches, parents, fans and communities for all you’ve done to support your local football teams.

••• It’s difficult to believe Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away ... Wow! It seems as if we were just roasting our holiday turkey along with all the side dishes and desserts. Where does the time go? I hope as you plan your holiday festivities, you don’t let the Christmas holiday overshadow the Thanksgiving one. We all have much for which to be thankful. May we remember those who are less fortunate and invite them into our homes and our hearts to help celebrate our own personal Thanksgiving activities. Who knows how much it might mean to someone less fortunate than ourselves.

Also, while you are shopping for your Thanksgiving festivities, please try to shop locally when you can.

Every dollar spent in your hometown or Bureau County impacts all of us in a positive manner. Even when it comes to holiday decorations, snacks and like, it’s a winwin situation when you shop locally. And by the way ...

I think that’s pretty good advice when you think about your Christmas shopping as well.

••• I hope you have a great week. I’m so enjoying this brisk, fall weather; I hope you are too. Breathe. Exhale.

Repeat. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

“No, they should not attend. I think they should go to their local VA home and volunteer their time to the men and women for the day.”

April Landrus, Princeton “Yes, kids should be in school on Veterans Day and they should be learning/observing why we have Veterans Day at an assembly or some type of program. Logan Junior High conducts an excellent program for the students to honor local veterans and Veterans Day. Every school should be doing something similar.”

Linnea Campbell, Princeton TO Letter THE Editor

What difference does it make?

To the Editor, Under her watch, just three short months after the killing of four American men at Benghazi, throwing her hands in the air, Hillary Clinton angrily proclaimed, “What difference does it make?” Jesus said, “For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). Hillary’s words revealed what was in her heart, bringing upon herself shame and disgrace.

But what about we who claim to be followers of Jesus? You’ve heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” Biblically, we as Christians, are to use both actions and words. Being good doesn’t make a person righteous. Going to church doesn’t make a person a Christian. Nor does mere intellectual assent.

Each of us should ask ourselves the following questions: • What difference does our constitution make?

• What difference does it make

concerning the kind of education our children receive?

• What difference does it make if we stand up for justice?

• What difference does it make if we are apathetic? (Voting would fall under the last two questions.)

• What difference does it make if we are a people of principle or see ourselves as being insignificant?

• What difference does it make if we are pseudo Christians or true followers of Christ?

• What difference does it make if we are heading toward orderliness or chaos?

• What difference does it make if we are courageous or cowardly?

Look at Revelation 21:8.

• What difference do our priorities make?

• What difference does 30 minutes make in our daily routine?

• What difference does it make if we read our Bible and pray? Think 30 minutes..

Jesus’ answer to these questions is that it will make an eternal difference.

Our nation is facing a moral dilemma. But gloom and doom

doesn’t need to be our perspective. The problems we face are problems of the heart. Including apathy, indifference and fear. Biblically, a family unit consists of a marriage between a man and a woman as well as a clear distinction between male and female. A mother’s womb should be a safe haven from outside intrusion, not a mortuary as a result of killing an innocent child. History shows a pendulum swinging left then to the right and back to the left. It’s time for it to swing back to the right.

Many adults are influencing our children to defy God and celebrate sin. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote, “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” ( Ephesians 5:14 ).

Will history look back on us as a people who stood up and made a difference for the future of our children and grandchildren, or will it look upon us as a generation who brought shame and disgrace because of our silence? What difference will we make?

BISMARCK — Call it a hump or a hurdle over whatever you want to call it, but the Hall Red Devils got over it in a big way Saturday, Nov. 7.

After falling in second-round play the past two years, the Red Devils advanced to the 2A quarterfinals with a 43-25 win over the host Blue Devils of Bismarck-Henning.

Hall took a 30-17 halftime lead and shut out the Blue Devils until the final 26 seconds of the game to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2001. The Red Devils (9-2) will return home to face Annawan/Wethersfield (10-1) at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Nesti Stadium.

touchdowns rushing, the first out of the Wildcat formation to give the Red Devils a 7-3 lead late in the first quarter.

Merkel took the snap from center out of the Wildcat and jumped to the pylon on the right side of the field from one yard out. It’s the first time this season the Red Devils have run the Wildcat and something the Hall staff has been after Tieman to run.

“We’ve been working on that for three years. The coaches are always giving me a hard time. Now we’ve used it for a couple plays,” Tieman said.

“That’s the first time we’ve done it all year and it worked,” Merkel said.

The passing from quarterback Drew Pullam to Merkel also worked well as Bismarck-Henning had little answer for it. They connected for a 70-yard completion to set up a one-yard TD by Chris Hammonds to give Hall a 14-7 lead at the 7:53 mark of the second quarter.

“He just makes great catches for us,” Tieman said. “When Drew can get him the ball, when he’s getting 1 on 1 coverage there, he’s tough. I don’t know if there’s anybody in 2A that is able to guard him.”

Merkel passes it all back to his quarterback.

“Drew did a pretty good job throwing it in there and I can just run under it and go from there. It’s mostly on Drew. He put it right there,” Merkel said.

Pullam also hit Hammonds for a 51-yard TD

Notes

Hall reaches the quarterfinals for the ninth time in school history, the first time since 2001 when it won the 3A state title. Hall has a 5-3 record in quarterfinal games.

Princeton makes its first quarterfinals berth since 2002 and just the third time in school history. It has never lost a quarterfinal game.

From Page 9 Thursday, Nov. 12 in the school lobby. Tickets are now $6.

Quarterfinals pair: This year marks the first time Hall and Princeton have reached the quarterfinals in the same year.

strike with 2:38 left in the second quarter. Andrew Buchanon added a 25-yard field goal with 1:30 left before half to give Hall a 30-17 halftime lead.

The Red Devils put things into the hands of its defense from there. Outside of a 71-yard romp up the middle by Izaack Kitchens in the second quarter and an 80-yard romp by Mitchell Harper on Bismarck’s final play of the game, the Hall defense stood firm.

Tieman said a move to a 4-3 front in the second half proved to be a big one for the Red Devils defensively.

“We just gave them a different look. They got ready for our 5-2 like we showed them the first half,” he said.

“We just kept to our game plan. I just think everybody knows what was at stake second round, everybody really stepped up,” Merkel said of the Hall’s defensive effort.

One of those defensive plays by Hall came courtesy of senior Christian Heiden and Ballerini. Heiden put a blind-side hit on Bismarck quarterback Dylan Allen, jarring the ball loose. Ballerini picked up the pigskin and romped 65 yards for the Hall touchdown.

“It was great. Probably the best moment of my high school career,” said Ballerini. “Seeing the open field and looking back and seeing my boys coming with me. It was awesome.”

Hall looks to add more of those playoffs moments starting Saturday at home.

It will be Hall’s first quarterfinal appearance since 2001 when it won the 3A state title.

Spring Creek ladies receive awards

Amboy’s Megan Grady runs at the state cross country finals in Peoria.

Blackburn, Grady miss all-state cut

By Shaw Media Service PEORIA — The last two runners with area ties, James Blackburn and Megan Grady of Amboy/ LaMoille, made their way to the IHSA State cross country meet Saturday, Nov. 7, at Detweiller Park.

Blackburn, finished 49th in the boys race with a time of 16:01. He became only the second male state qualifier from Amboy.

“I couldn’t ask for a better effort,” A/L coach Bob Halberg said. “He’s been like that all season. This was a kid that came out of obscurity the last two years to a point where he was a contender for all-state. I’ve never had a kid that has worked any harder.”

Grady, a junior, qualified for state for the third time, finishing 69th in 19:25. Grady entered the first turn after the starting

straightaway in fifth place, and fell backward after that. By about the 2-mile mark, she fell back just under the top 50.

“I let go when I shouldn’t have let go,” Grady said.

“That was the main problem. I just kind of dropped, and people kept passing me. My legs just freeze up when I drop.”

Individual state champions were Anna Sophia Keller (16:21) of Effingham St. Anthony, and Jon Davis of Fithian Oakwood, (14:00).

Rock Falls junior Brayden Hamblen, winner of the Princeton and Bureau Valley invites, placed third in 1A (14:52).

Senior teammate Williams placed 15th (15:09).

Tolono Unity swept the boys and girls 1A team titles.

Super From Page 9 school history.

L-P dropped an early-season tournament match to Joliet 2-0 in a match coach Mark Haberkorn said the Lady Cavs held late leads in each set.

Bureau Valley hosted an all-Three Rivers Conference Super-Sectional showdown where Orion defeated league rival Fulton 25-22, 25-21.

BV coach Abbi Bosnich said the supersectional was a great atmosphere with a packed gym, involved student sections, and “amazing volleyball. Both teams fought so hard in the match.”

Bosnich said having two TRAC teams at the super was also very special.

“It showed just how tough our conference is. It was nice for our girls to see the girls they played against this season be able to compete at that level,” she said. “I look forward to seeing Orion at Redbird this weekend. I think they are a strong team. I would expect to see them do well this weekend. The front line is hard to get by with their height in the middle.”

The Chargers remained undefeated in 39 matches, advancing to the state finals for the first time since 2000. Orion will face Shelbyville at noon Friday at Redbird Arena.

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com

Honoring sacrifices of area veterans and families It wasn’t a job I would have picked: I was given the task of fielding hundreds of phone calls, emails and mail-in submissions for this special veterans’ section. Don’t get me wrong — I truly appreciate everything everyone has done to make this country safe since its inception. But the idea of that workload, added to my already busy workload, was intimidating.

I found a way to do it with the help of co-workers who picked up the slack when I was working on listing the more than 1,000 names that were called in and when I was scanning a seemingly endless supply of photos of veterans.

That seemingly endless stack of photos, however, was just a drop in the bucket.

Our small little corner of the world may seem like the universe to us at times, but across the nation, there are thousands of counties, a lot like ours, who have their own seemingly endless supply of heroes.

That all adds up to a lot of sacrifices made by so many people throughout the years.

As I scanned in the pictures and named them on my computer, it brought forth so much emotion, but the main one I struggled with was sadness.

Whether the hero marching off to the service was drafted or going willingly, one fact remains: Everyone who went into the service came back a changed person, if they came back at all.

Some may have been positive changes, such as learning new skills and making new friends, but many of the changes were negative, like losing friends in battle, sustaining injuries and missing loved ones back home.

Worst of all was seeing the faces of

those who didn’t return — underneath their youthful, smiling faces, I typed the words “killed in action.” These were real people with families, dreams and aspirations. They were more than just numbers or statistics.

For every soldier killed in action you see in this section, a family was contacted and heard the most heartbreaking news imaginable — their loved one wouldn’t be coming home. It is hard to imagine surviving that type of news, so as you read this, please keep another fact in mind: Sacrifices were made, and are made today, by the entire family of the soldier. In fact sometimes, I believe, it is just as hard to be the one left behind, taking care of children and trying to pay the bills while constantly worrying and praying your loved one is safe.

To better honor the sacrifices made by veterans and their families, in next year’s section it will be easier than ever for loved ones to see their vet in the paper.

All the veterans you see in this section will automatically be placed in next year’s section — there will no longer be a need to call to ask every year for a name to be renewed for the section.

New additions are still welcome and changes to the existing names and information can be called in.

After you look at this section, I urge each and every one of you to share it with the youth in your life. This section does something the history books in school often fail to do — it puts a human face on the cost of war and the security of our nation.
