Bureau County, nation choose Trump Illinois votes for Hillary Clinton

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — While many stayed up to watch the national presidential election returns, many Americans woke up Wednesday morning to learn of Donald Trump’s win as the 45th president of the United States.

Trump, the Republican nominee with no government expe-

rience, stands as a powerful rejection of the establishment.

Reports from the New York Times say these historic results amount to a repudiation of not only Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but also of President Barack Obama, whose legacy is suddenly threatened.

New York Times said, “It was a decisive demonstration of power by a largely overlooked coalition of mostly blue-collar white and working-class voters who felt the promise of the United States had slipped their grasp amid decades of global-

ization and multiculturalism.”

In his victory speech in New York early Wednesday morning, Trump pledged he would be “president for all Americans,” and he would be reaching out to “unify the country.”

Trump also spoke well of his challenger, Clinton, saying she was “owed a major debt of

gratitude for her service to our country.”

Back at home, supporters of Trump in Bureau County defeated those of Clinton. Final tallies showed Trump with 9,264 votes to Clinton’s 6,010 — 56.06 percent compared to 39.37 percent.

Along with those votes, 836 voters chose Libertarian Gary Johnson, 193 voters chose Green Party nominee Jill Stein, and there were 221 votes for write-in candidates.

saying no. LaSalle County voters in the Dimmick district also gave the affirmative nod to the consolidation with 391 voting yes and 128 voting no.

With the consolidation, taxpayers are expected to see a significantly lower tax rate on their bill.

Unofficial results from the Illinois U.S. Senate race, as well as the unofficial tallies for Illinois State Senator and Illinois State Representatives who cover Bureau County have been announced.

Democrat Tammy Duckworth defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Mark Kirk.

Collectively Duckworth received 54.4 percent of the vote, followed by Kirk’s 40.2 percent. Libertarian Kenton McMillen received 3.2 percent, and Scott Summers gathered 2.1 percent of the vote.

Locally, Bureau County voters gave the majority of their votes to Kirk — 8,415, compared to 6,819 for Duckworth.

For the race in the 76th District for Illinois State Representative, Jerry Long, a Republican, won the race by a narrow margin. Collectively in all four counties — LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam and Livingston — Long earned 50.7 percent of the collective vote, compared to Skoog, a Democrat, who got 49.3 percent, separated by just a little over 600 votes.

Long, the Republican, is a newcomer to the seat. Skoog was appointed last year to fill the unexpired term of Frank Mautino, who left the seat to assume the role of Illinois Auditor General.

The fight on the home front Spring Valley veterans groups need to gain new members

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Veterans groups are most often seen helping communities celebrate national holidays such as the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but they also help memorialize the service of veterans during other ceremonies, as well as taking part in many fundraising and community betterment projects. Despite their honored status, however, these groups are facing a new challenge — declining membership.

The Veterans of Foreign

Wars (VFW) traces its lineage back to veterans of the Spanish-American War, and the American Legion began after World War I. Both have outstanding achievements in acquiring care and benefits for our nation’s veterans, yet both are suffering from a lack of new members.

World War II veterans are a rapidly dwindling group as are veterans of Korea. The core of both groups are now largely comprised of Vietnam-era veterans. The military is also much smaller when compared to decades past.

At the end of World War II, there were more than 12

million in the armed forces.

According to the Department of Defense, there are now approximately 1.4 million serving. Data from the Census Bureau shows there are approximately 21.8 million veterans.

James F. Taylor, current commander of the Spring Valley VFW Post and past commander of the Spring Valley American Legion, described the decline locally, saying, “There are currently 16 members in the VFW. Not too long ago we had 28, but we’ve lost some due to relocation and some to death. When I first joined we had 125 members including some from World War I. The American Legion had 250 members, and they currently have 88.”

Taylor has belonged to

both groups since returning from Vietnam in 1966.

He’s also a member of the Disabled American Veterans and Purple Heart group, but neither of those groups have local posts.

He said both the VFW and American Legion work to help the Veterans Home in LaSalle, as well as the local food pantry.

Taylor said, “The biggest challenge facing both of these local groups is recruiting new and younger members. Also, neither of the Spring Valley posts have their own building, so finding a place to meet can be somewhat of a challenge.” The groups usually meet in the local library.

Both the VFW and the American Legion are competing for younger veterans

Those things have a higher priority for them than belonging to a veteran’s group,” Taylor said, adding their newer/younger members help with the Poppy Days fundraisers and with various parades.

Many times several years will pass before a younger veteran joins an organization, and with family obligations slowing down, they’re then ready to begin community work. As the older veterans groups adapt to the changing, often digitally-focused world and compete with the newer organizations for younger members, one thing remains common between them all — respect for their nation, service and sacrifices.

Voter turnout: 69.42 percent

Decided From Page 1 Bureau and Putnam counties cast its votes for Skoog, with Bureau giving Skoog 3,292 votes and 2,329 votes to Long. Putnam County also favored Skoog with 1,526 votes; Long got 1,516. LaSalle and Livingston counties both gave the nod to Long; LaSalle County voters gave Long 18,739 votes and 17,485 votes to Skoog, and Livingston County cast 535 votes for Long and 209 votes for Skoog.

In the 74th Illinois State House race, Republican Daniel Swanson got the win in all five counties — Henry, Knox, Mercer, Bureau and Lee — over Democrat challenger Bill Butts. Swanson got 65.6 percent of the vote; Butts received 34.4 percent.

Bureau County voters cast 5,604 ballots for Swanson, and they gave 2,355 votes to Butts. The incumbent, Illinois Rep. Don Moffit, decided not to see re-election.

Sen. Sue Rezin, a Republican, kept her seat in the Illinois Senate, handily beating out newcomer Christine Benson, a Dem-

with newer groups such as the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and Team Red, White and Blue (Team RWB).

The IAVA was founded in 2004 and Team RWB in 2010. They are also working to achieve support for veterans and to help their communities. Both offer veterans assistance, family friendly activities and athletic events, as well as having a strong social media presence.

“It seems there’s a decline in membership because as older members die or become inactive due to age, there are no younger members to take their place. We try to encourage younger members to join, but they often are involved with their work or the activities of their families.

PRINCETON — Voter turnout in Bureau County came in at 69.42 percent of the 24,172 registered voters.

Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus was only off .58 percent of her 70 percent voter turnout prediction. She called this election an interesting one, as the county set a record for the number of early voters.

Residents had the opportunity to cast their ballots beginning Saturday, Nov. 5, and Monday, Nov. 7, at various spots in the county.

Before Tuesday’s Election Day, Hieronymus was saying there was definite interest in the election, due mostly to the presidential race.

Wyanet approves new insurance plans Board increased 2016-17 tax levy

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

Vescogni named associate judge Michael J. Tardy, director of the administrative Office of the Illinois Courts announced Wednesday, Nov. 9, the 13th Judicial Circuit judges voted to select Michelle A. Vescogni as an associate judge of the 13th Judicial Circuit.

Vescogni received her undergraduate degree in 1995 from North Central College in Naperville, and her Juris Doctor in 1998 from Chicago-Ken in Chicago. Vescogni is currently engaged in solo practice in Peru.

WYANET — Insurance was on the mind of Wyanet Village Board members at its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Wyanet Trustee Dave Bickett has been seeking an insurance plan that works for both the board and employees.

After a lengthy presentation and discussion, the board voted to approve the new health and ancillary insurance plans. The board is changing to a self-funded Blue Cross Blue Shield plan.

Trustee Jim Etheridge said the insurance plan was a golden plan for the employees. Etheridge felt the deductible should be higher to help save additional money for the village.

Also at the meeting, the board approved increasing the 2016-17 tax levy by 2.5 percent. Trustees Etheridge and Joe Law voted no.

The board had continually raised the levy by 5 percent up until last year when they decided to only raise the levy

by 3.5 percent. The board discussed at length the amount of money the village needs to run. They are trying to use the taxpayers’ money wisely, they said.

Also, Brandon Teske gave the monthly maintenance report. Teske advised the board they have been busy preparing for winter. Salt has been purchased and is in storage. They are hoping to get the lawnmowers into storage and plows put on the trucks.

Teske said work is almost complete on Wyanet Police Chief Todd Marquez’s offices. He hopes to be finished next week, and the furnace and air conditioning can be moved soon after that.

In other business: • Marquez gave his monthly activity report.

• New tires were approved for the part-time police car.

• Engineer Jack Kusek and Trustee Cory Peterson will be inspecting the village streets to make a plan of action for next year.

• Bars were given permission to stay open one hour later on New Year’s Eve. The next meeting is Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 5:30 p.m. at Village Hall. Please note the earlier time.

PRINCETON — Over the objections of some neighbors, the Princeton City Council voted Monday to allow warehousing at the former Walmart building on Princeton’s North Main Street, a move that is projected to bring about 30 new jobs to town.

The council followed its plan commission’s recommendation and unanimously approved the special-use permit. It allows Breck Loos of Sterling to turn the space into a Napa Auto Parts retail store and use a portion of the building for warehousing and distribution to other Illinois stores he owns.

Loos is also working with another retail establishment that is interested in space in the south portion of building, Mayor Joel Quiram said. “(We) would actually have three businesses — TSC, Napa would be in the center and this unknown business on the end,” he said.

Loos also plans to revamp the facade, including that of Tractor Supply Co. in the north side of the building, Quiram said.

The Napa warehousing business is expected to provide 10 to 12 full-time jobs; the NAPA retail businesses 10 to 12 part-time jobs; and the unnamed business three to four fulltime and three to four part-

time positions.

The permit requires Loos erect a 14-foot privacy fence around the west and south sides of the surrounding lot.

Bob Rupcich, a resident of Bailey Court Subdivision west of the former Walmart building, spoke against the special-use permit and on behalf of all Bailey Court residents. He previously submitted a 19-page report in which he cited what he called violations of the city’s Land Development Code.

“We continue to strongly object, even though it passed the commission,” he said Monday.

Rupcich listed several concerns the residents have with warehousing in their neighborhood including a potential drop in property values, the alteration of the neighborhood’s character, noise from diesel trucks, forklifts and an outside compactor, intrusive lighting and security surveillance, litter and more.

The privacy fence was the plan commission’s response to their concerns.

Rupcich also cited concerns with diesel trucks driving in and out of the loading dock areas. Commissioner Jerry Neumann said engineering studies to be done at Loos’ expense would determine whether the trucks would be allowed.

Spring Valley studies possible grants

By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council learned about a grant that could benefit the city’s industrial park.

On Monday, Nov. 7, Nora Fesco-Ballerine, director of the North Central Illinois Council of Government (NCICG), addressed the council about a possible grant. The grant is available through the Illinois Department of Transportation and is a 50/50 matching grant which would cover half of the costs of building a new road in the city’s industrial park. The city would financially have to cover the

other half of the project.

Spring Valley has also received a USDA grant to help with the cost of the road which would connect the west end of Wolfer Park Industrial Road to Route 29.

Mayor Walt Marini attended a meeting last week and learned the Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) grant money has been released by the government.

According to the website www.illinois.gov, the Department of Commerce has awarded approximately $140 million since 1983 in CDAP grants to more than 180 local units of government throughout the state to help them pro-

vide financial assistance to businesses locating or expanding within their boundaries.

Marini would like to be able to put some of the grant money in a revolving fund to loan to small businesses, and then as the money is repaid, it will be put back in the fund to loan to another business.

The finance committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 14 to discuss the grant. Also that evening, the water and sewer committee and public health and safety committee will meet.

In other business: • Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston is upgrading the surveillance at City Hall.

• Mike Richetta of Chamlin and Associates provided an update on the wastewater treatment plant. He also explained the water towers at Walmart Distribution and St. Bede Academy were recently inspected.

• The lighted Santa Parade will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 26.

• Residents are reminded leaves that will be vacuumed need to be on berm and not on the street.

• The public health and safety committee met Oct. 31 to discuss the revitalization grant application by attorney Jacob Frost.

The board approved the request, pending no heavy equipment will be on the sidewalks.

ISP to conduct sTEP in November LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 will be conducting Special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) in LaSalle County during the month of November.

These sTEPs allow the ISP to focus on the fatal four violations, which contribute the greatest to traffic crashes and fatalities: Driving under the influence (DUI), not using safety belt and child restraints, speeding and distracted driving.

The ISP will increase daytime and nighttime patrols to

ensure the safety of vehicle travelers through enforcement of all traffic safety laws. Impaired driving is a factor in more than 30 percent of traffic deaths in Illinois.

Likewise, speeding is a factor in nearly 35 percent of fatal crashes; and nearly 50 percent of vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were known to not be buckled-up.

This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).

Illinois State Police conducts ACE Patrols LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 conducted Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols in LaSalle County during October.

The ACE patrols allowed the ISP to focus on preventing, detecting and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol or drugs.

During the detail, there were a total of 26 citations given and 54 warnings written. Among that enforcement activity, there were two citations and one warning given for occupant restraint offenses; one citation and

one warning given for registration offenses; one warning given for driver’s license offenses and two citations issued for insurance violations.

Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor crashes in Illinois. There is one alcohol-related traffic fatality every 53 minutes in the United States.

The ACE program allows officers to work even harder at removing dangerous DUI offenders from the road.

This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).

ISP conducts Roadside Safety Check near Utica LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 held Roadside Safety Checks (RSCs) in LaSalle County from the late evening hours of Oct. 29, to the early morning hours of Oct. 30.

The RSC was conducted on Route 6 near Route 178, north of Utica.

During the detail, troopers issued a total of 17 citations and 12 warnings. Among that enforcement activity, there were two citations given for offenders driving under the influence and two citations given for other alcohol/drug offenses. Also, there were six citations given for occupant

restraint offenses, one warning written for a registration offense, three citations given for driver’s license offenses and three citations given for insurance violations.

Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois, and throughout the United States. Nearly 10,000 people die each year due to alcohol-impaired driving. RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road.

Sometimes it’s not just a game There’s already been much written about the Chicago Cubs winning their first World Series in 108 years, but I don’t want to write so much about the team as I do of the effect it’s had on people.

Any time a city’s team wins a championship it’s excitDave ing, makes people Cook happy (at least most of them any way) COMMENTARY and is good for the economy. However this time, it’s gone beyond the norm and has actually changed the cultural fabric of the area.

I’ll be honest and admit I’m not a baseball fan or even much of a sports fan. I do appreciate athletic ability and a good game, though, especially the intensity of a great Game 7; and this one couldn’t have been a better example. While I’m not often found watching a game, I have followed all the different sports at one time or another. I’m not what you’d necessarily call a bandwagon jumper; I’m more of a trial offer person, and some of those times have come during great sporting events.

I’m odd in that I used to listen to a lot of sports radio but didn’t watch any sports. If I happened to find myself in front of a game, I knew who was who and what to expect. After spending a lot of time on the road, I’d eventually gotten sick of what I was listening to and stumbled across a sports talk show I found funny. There’s seemingly an endless supply of stupid things athletes say and do; it’s sort of like politics.

I did watch Boston’s run through the playoffs on their way to breaking their own “curse” by winning a World Series because I knew it was going to be an emotionally-charged, history-making event for their city and baseball. Chicago is similar, but somehow different.

Boston may have been subjected to a long championship drought, but I don’t think their losing ways were woven into the city, or even embraced (maybe accepted is a better word) the way it was in Chicago.

Since the championship, I’ve seen strangers happily acknowledging each others T-shirts, buying way more memorabilia than I would expect is typical. Their happiness is contagious, and it spreads across everything. People have just been more pleasant; it’s been fun to see.

This is the peak though, and it will never feel as good in Chicago as it does now. Baseball may likely never again see something like this. Losing was a major part of the Cubs’ identity; to be a fan meant having to find a way to deal with disappointment, and their fans had gotten good at it.

Younger fans are going to grow up with the Cubs being a championship team. That’s the complete opposite of what several generations of older fans experienced. Think of how many people lived their whole lives as fans of a losing team. My grandfather was one of them. My brother and uncle have so far spent their lives the same way. I like how announcer Harry Caray was acknowledged after the big win; it feels like a way to connect with fans of the past and to share the excitement with their memory.

And I have to believe even White Sox fans wouldn’t begrudge Cubs fans their joy. You almost have to be happy for the Cubs and their fans. And next spring, when they begin to play again, there’s going to be additional surges of excitement through Wrigley Field, living rooms and taverns whenever the team is introduced as world champions. Holy cow, I’m not even a fan, and I appreciate the significance of being able to write that.

Thanks for the pictures In the past few weeks I gave myself a project; sometimes, you know, you have to talk to yourself and make a plan. My project was to figure out what to do with all of the photo albums my husband and I have accumulated throughout the last almost 30 years.

These pictures and photo albums are sort of yours, mine and ours.

Some were mine before we were married; some were his before we were married; and some are ours together. And some of them were passed down to me from my parents.

As most of you know by now, I live in a rather small house; living space is great but storage is always an issue. I have found the bulky photo albums and loose photos create a recurring storage problem. I have, I hope, come up with a solution for the storage, but the whole idea of all of these photos made me stop and think about what they represent.

I find the photos passed on to me from my parents to be interesting in many ways. It is always a pleasure to look back at the black and white photos that were taken when my parents were young and when my sisters and I were young too.

The ones I find the most interesting are the really old ones. As most of your also know, my parents were over 100 years old when they died a few years ago. So, some of the pictures are over 100 years old too.

You know the kind of photos I am talking about. I am sure some of your families also have these large photos in large cardboard frames, obviously taken by a professional photographer of some sort. These pictures amaze me in so many

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

ways. First of all, I am amazed at the number of professional pictures that my parents’ families had taken.

My grandparents, on both sides of my family, were simple, hard-working people. One set ran a small grocery store in a small town in Nebraska and the other set, my paternal grandparents, were, as my dad always said, “dirt farmers.” This was my dad’s nomenclature for his parents farming the land and not raising livestock. Anyway, neither set of grandparents were monetarily wealthy, but obviously, by the number of these pictures, they were wealthy in the love of their family and their desire to create a visual record of their life.

I have several favorites in these very old pictures. One is a folder with room for three separate pictures. This particular folder has a picture of my mom at about 8 years old, her youngest brother as a baby, and a combination picture of her other two brothers.

I knew my mom’s brothers, but they didn’t live in Illinois, and we didn’t see them often. It is interesting to see them all as children.

Another favorite is one of my dad, all seven of his sisters, and his parents. The siblings are all adults in the picture, and my grandparents are seated in the middle of all of them. It pleases me to see all of them and especially my grandpar-

ents. I don’t remember Grandma. but I do remember Grandpa and many of my aunts, and the picture makes me smile every time.

Then, of all of the old pictures now in my possession, there are two that are at the top of the favorites — one of my dad in a pretty classy threepiece suit and one of my mom, dressed very nicely as well. I have known for many years that these two pictures were taken close to the time my parents were married, and the one of my mother would now be considered to be her high school graduation picture. Oh, yes, her graduation picture from 1930. Those two pictures are indeed special.

So I am progressing with my new storage solution for all of these pictures, and at the same time, I wonder what will be left by all of us for the coming generations?

I have hundreds and hundreds of pictures stored on my computer, my phone and even on an external computer hard drive. I transfer pictures from my phone to my computer regularly, but are those candid pictures going to weave a story to my child and my grandchildren?

Will those pictures as someone flips through them on some kind of computer of the future, bring the same feelings and memories as those old paper photos I am storing? I’m not sure, but I hope they do.

Thank you Mom, Dad, grandmas and grandpas; you took the time, you cared enough and you made a record of your lives for your descendants to enjoy and savor the memories.

A Bruin’s family fest PERU — The traditional Sunday dinner “back in the day,” was the most important meal of the week. It was a ritual of long, relaxing afternoons spent with family and friends gathered around the family table. On Oct. 2, St. Bede Academy hosted such an event, with the longest table the academy has ever seen and was a first of its kind in the Illinois Valley area.

The table of 190 guests started the day with an

outdoor Mass lead by Fr. Ronald Margherio, O.S.B., followed by music and entertainment from our St. Bede band and cheerleaders, before sitting down to a meal. The dinner was catered by Bernardi’s Restaurant and featured their famous fried chicken.

This event helped provide a family-friendly atmosphere that showcased the beauty of St. Bede, while giving the families that attended

time to reconnect with each other and make new friends. Together they celebrated their faith, children and a community proud of its family history and old traditions.

Like Sunday dinners of the past, the Bruin’s Family Fest gave participants the opportunity to bring multiple generations of family and friends together for an afternoon and an experience to remember. For pictures from the event, visit www.st-bede.com.

Making a dream a reality

Couple opens Italian restaurant in Ladd, named after friend

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

LADD — Area residents can now enjoy homemade pizzas and other Italian food items in Ladd.

Tracy Fousekas and Garrett Calevaugh recently opened Savario’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria at 115 N. Main St. in Ladd where Torri’s Ice Cream Parlor had operated for many years, dating back to the 1930s.

“There is a lot of history in this place,” said Calevaugh. “We tried to keep its charm. We still keep some ice cream here for people to have dessert because of it being served here for many years.”

The majority of the new restaurant’s menu consists of homemade specialty pizzas made every day, added Fousekas. Other items are gyros, appetizers, salads, burgers, subs and ice cream.

“We felt there was a real need for pizzas out here,” said owner Fousekas, who has 17 years of experience working in the restaurant business.

The restaurant is named after Calevaugh’s best friend growing up in Montgomery, Illinois, Savario “Sam” Simmons, who was killed in a car accident in 2015.

“We dedicated it to him because we wanted to have an Italian theme for a pizza restaurant,” said Calevaugh. “It was always his dream to open a restaurant.

“We brought his mom here after opening, and she had no idea we named it after her son. She was real emotional,” he said.

Savario’s hours are from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday. It is closed on Tuesday. The phone number is 815-8949316.

Princeton Culver’s partners with United Way

Health department releases inspection scores

Photo contributed

Jake Swanson, general manager of Culver’s of Princeton, presents a check to Kimberly Scott of the Bureau County United Way. The donation represents a portion of the restaurant’s sales on Nov. 1 to raise funds for United Way. “We’re proud to call Princeton home and doing our part to help just feels right,” said Michele Davis, owner of Culver’s of Princeton. “We strive to make a difference in the community we share with so many others, and working with United Way of Bureau County allows us to help support individuals and families in our area.”

The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas.

Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing

food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations.

Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

2016 Soccer Player of the Year Brett Schenck, Junior, Princeton

Princeton junior forward Brett Schenck, the 2016 BCR Player of the Year, did whatever it took to make his team successful. He scored 12 goals in their first 10 matches and dished out six assists with six goals over their final 17 matches, leading the Tigers to the regional championship

Whatever it takes PHS’ Schenck does what’s best for the team

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — When Brett Schenck took the soccer pitch for the Princeton Tigers this fall, he lived by the theme of doing whatever it takes.

Early on, he was the no doubt, go-to guy, scoring 12 goals in the Tigers’ first 10 matches with two assists.

Midway through the season, his team needed him more as a facilitator, setting others up to score. He performed that task equally well, notching six assists with six goals over the final 17 matches.

For being the player that the regional champion Tigers needed

The Brett Schenck file • PHS and area top scorer, 18 goals • Team leader in assists, 8 • Area top play-maker, 26 points • Led PHS to regional championship • Scored team’s lone goal at sectional at the moment most, whether it was as the team’s leading scorer (18 goals) or top play-maker (8 assists), the PHS junior forward is the 2016 BCR Soccer Player of the Year.

When learning of his honors, Schenck was quick to send another assist his teammates’ way.

“Accomplishments are nice, but I definitely couldn’t have done it without all my teammates,” Schenck said. “If anything, we should have the Team of the Year rather than

Player of Year, because they definitely get a lot of credit.”

PHS coach David Gray said Schenck is what a team player is all about.

“Brett led our team in scoring and assists. He became the player that changed other teams’ tactics, as he was the player they would single out in marking,” Gray said.

“Brett scored a lot of goals early in the season, then adjusted his game to be more of a set up man. He was a threat against every team we played, not just the poor ones.”

Schenck said his season was a learning experience.

“There was a learning gap in the middle of year, where I didn’t have to do all the scoring. I had to do a lot of assisting as well. The whole team has one goal and that’s to work as one unit and I think we did it well,” he said.

My 30 for 30 moments at the BCR I always enjoy the 30 for 30 programs by ESPN, featuring interesting sports stories.

I’m going to make my own 30 for 30 here today, marking my 30 years writing this weekly column coming to you each Thursday as Nov. 4. It’s not true that when I first started I wrote these columns by chipping them out on a piece of stone.

But I have seen many, many changes in our industry. When I came here, we had to cut our copy and paste up our pages with nasty wax on the back of it.

Now we paginate pages all on the computer screen. Another

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

big move was going from film to digital. That instantaneous imaging is big on deadline.

While our industry has made a huge turn to digital, I will always remain a firm believer that newspaper print is still and

should be a viable tool.

I won’t do this by a grand countdown, because it would be too hard to mark any one moment greater than another.

Forgive me in advance if I’ve overlooked anything.

I will start at the top, however, as this one is easy for me. My No. 1 moment in 30 years at the BCR is meeting a local gal off a LaMoille farm, my bride of 24 years, the former Kami Hildebrand. I have my former co-worker Stephanie (Peterson) Cartwright, Kami’s cousin, to thank for that and her grandma, Kami’s Aunt Beulah.

Coupled with that grand moment was the arrival of our girls, Brooke Lee (Sept. 27, 1997) and Brynn Elie (Aug. 6, 2002). I don’t know what my life would be without the three of them. I have been blessed.

Another personal moment that makes me is smile from the past 30 years is having the opportunity to meet and befriend many local athletes and coaches on the job, as well as being able to coach many more off duty. Often, I wonder just how many kids I’ve written about and coached over the years. Too many too count, I

believe.

While all the remaining moments are happy ones, there are unfortunately sad ones that stand out as well. Along the way, we’ve lost some great high school athletes, including Brett Thompson (1994) of Walnut, Mike Swanlund and Mike Crawford (Homecoming 1998), and Steve Hamacher (1993) of La -Moille and Blaine Foster (2006) and Daniel Lule (2012) of Hall.

Sadly, we also lost some great men and coaches in Bill Sisler (2011) and Danny Nelson (2016)

Schenck From Page 13 “It’s not just like me obviously, not just another person. It has to be the whole team working as one. If we’re doing that, we’re clicking, but if not, we’re struggling. I think we found in regionals we were clicking as one unit.”

While the Tigers had just a 12-9-3 record heading into the postseason, they definitely clicked at the right time of year when it counted the most. They turned their No. 7 seed into a No. 1 finish in their own regional, knocking off No. 1 seed Newark 4-3 and defeating Somonauk 1-0 for the title.

“We did prove them wrong to put us at No. 7, but again being No. 7, we weren’t disheartened by that,” Schenck said. “We didn’t know we were going to win it, but knew we had a pretty good chance. It’s always been better to be overlooked than hyped up.”

Schenck credited Gray for providing the team with the motivation they needed to win regional despite what their seed and record may have indicated.

Through it all, Schenck points to the learning experience he and his classmates and other Tigers will take back to the pitch next year.

“The young guys got playing time, so it’s going to be important later on for bigger matches, stuff like regionals,” he said. “Personally, for myself, I got more field sense and more

Ryan Frank, Princeton (Jr./D): Frank was another solid defender, who Gray described as a “very smart player, who makes very few mistakes in the back.”

Cade Harrison, Princeton (Jr./D): Harrison was the Tigers’ most consistent defender, Gray said, and also provided some offense with six assists. His long throw-in capability made the Tigers more threatening on goal.

Brent Loftus, Princeton (Sr./D): Loftus was a leader on the back line for the Tigers, Gray said, and played an important part in the organization of the defense.

David Moreno, DePue (Sr./ MF): The senior midfielder was the Little Giants’ top scorer on the year with 15 goals and six assists in 14 games. He was the 2015 BCR Co-Player of the Year with teammate Adrian Perez.

Eddie Moreno, DePue (Jr./ D/M): Moreno was a steadying force for the Little Giants, playing as defender and midfielder.

Edgar Moreno, DePue (Sr./ MF): The third Moreno cousin dished out a team-high seven assists while scoring six goals from his midfield position.

Jayden Pinter, Princeton (Jr./MF): The junior mid con-

minutes with the varsity.

That’s going to be useful for my last year. I think just learning that the competition is different the older we get, and now we’re going to be right up there with them and compete with those kids.”

And having played Normal U-High, a team that reached the peak of Class 1A soccer, to such a good game when you throw out the two quick goals the Pioneers netted late in the first half speaks volumes for the Tigers’ future success, Schenck said.

It was the determined Schenck that got the Tigers on the scoreboard late in the sectional match with those Pioneers.

“It’s up to us and our motivation and how much work we want to put in,” he said. “If we put in the work and stay on top of our game, we’re going to go as far as we can. The team that knocked us out in the first round of sectionals was the team that actually ended winning state. We lost 3-1. For us to take that as a learning experience that says as far as we could go.

“We’re going to go for something more than a regional title (next year).

Winning state is obviously the goal. I don’t see why this isn’t an achievable goal for us. It wasn’t that they were much better than us.”

Soccer has always been the sport of choice for Schenck from a young age.

“It’s one of those sports that’s internationally

There’s not many rules to it. For myself, it’s kind of an outlet. Always had it with me and my friends.

We’ve been playing it for as long as I can remember.

tributed to the Tigers’ attack with five goals and six assists, including a big goal against Earlville. Gray said Pinter “consistently set the rhythm and pace of our overall play.”

Rafa Puga, DePue (Jr./F/K): The Little Giants junior was a jack of all trades, splitting time on goal (118 saves in nine game) and forward (14 goal/6 assists). He was DePue’s second leading scorer despite playing keeper half of the games.

Juan Robledo, Princeton (Jr./ MF): The junior mid fought injuries all year and was knocked out of the postseason when he sprained his knee against HBR. He missed eight matches, but still scored 11 goals with four assists in 19 outings.

Josh Reinhardt, Princeton (Jr./K): Reinhardt solidified the goal keeper position once he took over at the net. Reinhardt made some incredible saves in the postseason to keep the Tigers in matches or to maintain a lead, Gray said.

Brett Schenck, Princeton (Jr./F): The top scorer and play-maker in the area, Schenck put in 18 goals with eight assists over the course of his junior season. He was named as the 2016 BCR Player of the Year.

2016 PHS girls golf awards Princeton High School held its 2016 golf awards night recently. Award winners for the girls golf team were Elise Piper (from left), All-Conference/All-Academic; Kiley Schenck, JV sportsmanship; Rachel Jensen, All-Conference-All Academic, Varsity Most Valuable, and Varsity Sportsmanship; and Jade Loftus, Varsity Most Improved.

Lady Lions From Page 13 one year under former head coach Holli Rapp, and said that familiarity will help with the transition. Rapp resigned after two seasons.

“Returning almost our entire team from last season has really helped. We have a lot of trust in our girls, as a staff, and I know the girls trust us as well,” said Wilson, who is being assisted on the sophomore level by his wife, Melissa.

“We have changed up a lot of things, intensity level has jumped up to another level and the way we will play will surprise people. We have some very big goals as a team and I trust our leaders to help guide us towards those goals.”

Wilson looks to the big three of seniors Jasmine Kahly and Paige Conner and junior Lexi Loftus to lead the Lady Lions into battle this season. Wilson said returning players Karli Forbes, Hannah Pinter, Cassie Martin, Maddi Deery and Cheyanne Hansen “also will give us a huge lift with the experience, energy, and work ethic.”

Kahly, the senior point guard, returns as the floor

leader and “does a lot of great things getting everyone in the right spot,” Wilson said.

Loftus has become a marked player by opposing defenses, returning as the big gun in the Lady Lions’ offense. The “Blonde Bomber” averaged 16.9 ppg, knocking down 57 3-point shots as an All-BCR First Team Selection.

“She is hard to stop, but we have fine tuned some things over the summer and added some things to her game too. She is a great leader and scorer and college coaches have taken notice,” Wilson said.

Conner, a 5-10 guard-forward, is a scorer (8.9 ppg) and rebounder (11.4 rpg).

The BCR Second Teamer also provides a steadying impact on defense, Wilson said.

“Paige doesn’t get a lot of credit on the basketball court, but what she does for us defensively allows us to do everything we want to do,” he said.

The new Lady Lions coach said he’s had to order more jerseys because of so many freshmen coming out and a few of them might be able to help out at the varsity level. He said Tobi Walzer, Brooke Motter, Emma Lundquist and

Meet the Storm

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley High School will be hosting the 2016 Meet the Storm Night for all winter sports Friday, Nov. 11 at the BVHS school gym.

Beginning at 6 p.m., coaches will meet with parents for the mandatory parent/coach informational meeting at the following locations: boys basketball (gym), girls basketball (auditorium), cheerleaders (home ec room) and dance team (media center).

Following the school fight song and National Anthem at 6:30 p.m., the introduction of all

Bowling Boosters 50/50 SPRING VALLEY — The Hall High School Bowling Boosters Organization (HBB) is holding a 50/50 raffle to support the Hall High School bowling team. The “Black Friday 50/50 Raffle” will be drawn on Nov. 19, just in time for some holiday shopping.

Send $5 per ticket with your name, address and phone number to: HBB Raffle, 419 W. St. Paul St., Spring Valley, IL 61362.

HBB is a newly-formed group to ensure the sport of bowling is continued at Hall High School. With tight budgets, some extra-curricular activities could be cut, so they hope to keep raising funds to keep this sport alive.

Donations will be used to assist the bowling program with expenses such as tournament fees, equipment, travel, food and any other expenses deemed necessary the Hall High School budget can’t meet.

minutes for the Tigresses as well.

The small squad of only four juniors and three seniors will require the assistance of a four pack of sophomores (forwards Jacey Jensen, Julia Hochstatter and guards Meg Fisher and Kelly Van Den Bussche) who are ready for varsity seasoning.

“My focus right now is making my team better,” Gonigam said. “We will get our expectations for where we want to be late in the season together when the time comes, but for now the only expectations I have as a team is to continue to challenge ourselves to become the best basketball team we can.”

The season is less than a week away and Princeton has its first chance to challenge themselves in the Princeton Holiday Tournament, which kicks off Monday, Nov. 14. The Tigresses will face Midland at 8 p.m. on opening night. and Streator at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Sports Shorts winter sports athletes will take place. ScrimLions Pride Night mages will follow at 6:50 p.m.

LAMOILLE — The LaMoille/Ohio boys and girls basketball teams will have a “Lions Pride Night” at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at LaMoille High School. This will be a Midnight Madness event to get both communities excited about their boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. There will be scrimmages for both teams as well as a 3-point contest and a skills challenge.

Gonigam comes to PHS after coaching four years at rival Bureau Valley and hopes to continue her success with a more than capable Tigress squad.

“I sort of knew the girls from coaching against them, but it’s a whole different feeling being in the locker room and getting to know them from that aspect,” Gonigam said. “I think there will be a learning curve while we get to know each other a little better but they’re taking in the offense well. They had Coach (Jeff) Ohlson last year and he also coached me so I think there is enough similarities that will help with the transition.”

Anna Murray’s outside presence will be felt throughout the Three Rivers Athletic Conference as she is paired nicely with 6-1 senior center Courtney Oeder.

Oeder (Second Team All-TRAC) returns a team-high 286 points, 200 rebounds and 22 blocks. She was followed closely by her counterpart in Murray (First Team All-TRAC) who came away with 279 points, and dropped a team-high 80 assists and a team-leading 12 steals in last year’s campaign.

“Anna’s vision and court awareness works really well in this offense. She sees the court really well and she has a knack for making the other players around her better. And I think the girls as a whole are ready to make strides as a team this season,” Gonigam said.

Fellow senior Michaela Mall will flank Murray at the guard position while two juniors who saw sparse varsity minutes a season ago in Maddie Forristall and Hannah Meyer will be angling to make the starting rotation to accompany Oeder and Murray.

Junior Sara Grieff (injury) and senior Maxine Dumyahn (foreign exchange student) each return after missing last season and will be in contention for starting

Hieronymus From Page 13 of Princeton to tragic deaths.

From there, let’s go chronological.

• Bruins win state: My first state champion to cover at the BCR was the 1988 St. Bede Bruins baseball team, which defeated Alton Marquette 6-3 for the state title. I would follow the Bruins twice more at state (1992, 2015).

• Tiger Style: The 1989 Princeton football season, when Tiger Style Ran Wild all the way to the state finals is surely a favorite. They lost to a loaded Belleville Althoff team in Normal, a week after upsetting Aurora Marmion (I think I’m still thawing out from that game). Tiger Daryn Foley once told me they made me in this town and I agreed. I would say it still ranks as the top Tiger team I’ve covered and one of the best from Bureau County.

• The one that got away: The Hall Lady Devil softball team had mighty Casey defeated in the 1990 state tournament, receiving what should have been a game-winning, bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh.

However, not all of the Hall base-runners advanced to touch the next base.

Casey appealed, the run was taken away to end the inning and Casey went on to win 6-2 in extra innings and go on to win another state title.

• State champs: The Princeton Tigresses spiked the state to win the 1990 Class A state volleyball championship. They remain the best team in my 30 years here and Nicole Coates the top individual player.

• Oh brother: Kipp (1990) and Kristian (1993, ‘94) Wahlgren of Princeton won three state wrestling crowns between them. I’ll never forget the bear hug their dad, aka PDub, gave them. I’ve also covered two other state champs from PHS — Brian Taylor (02) and Brandon Nink (03).

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com • Small Town heroes: One of my favorites teams to follow were the 1991-93 Neponset Lady Zephyrs basketball teams, who reached the Sweet 16 (Super-Sectionals) three straight years. Even though they fell just short each year from state, Chuck Blake’s Lady Zephyrs took on all comers, big and small. Loved their theme song, John Cougar Mellencamp’s “Small Town.”

• Sectional drought over: Princeton went 37 years between sectional basketball championships until Roger Lowe’s 1991-92 Tigers squad beat rival Mendota 54-53 to create Prouty Pandemonium. That was a memorable season personally, having coached the members of that team coming up through the freshman ranks as a member of the PHS staff.

• Tribute to Sports: The best thing we have done to promote area sports, along with originating all-area teams, Players of the Years and many other features, was our Tribute to Sports program. Originating in June of 1995, it was a great way to honor and connect athletes from the past (Bureau County Sports Hall of Fame) and the present.

• State trifecta: The Hall Lady Devils volleyball team made three straight trips to the state volleyball tournament (1995-97) under two different coaches, Phil Powers and Laurie Polte. Hall would return in 2005 under Demi Salazar to place fourth.

• Kings of Rock n Roll: The Hall football teams, spirited by the assistant coach Steve Smith-led homage to the late and great Hall coach Richard Nesti, won the 3A state championship in 1995 with a huge comeback to top DuQuoin 38-32. The very next season, in 1996, the Red Devils landed second at state, falling to Carterville 23-20.

• Back to back: Eric Bryant’s Hall Red Devils hustled their way to backto-back state runner-up finishes in 1997 and 1998. All-Stater Shawn

Jeppson scored a record number of points in the 1997 finals against Warsaw but Hall still lost 92-85 in OT. The next year, the Red Devils rode a 32-0 record into the title game against Nauvoo-Colussa. Jeppson, however, inexplicably had his shooting hand cut during pre-game introductions, and Hall went down in defeat 45-39.

• DJ spins records: Another great moment saw Red Devil D.J. Glynn win four state titles in the 1999 IHSA Track and Field finals — 100, 200, 400 and high jump. Undoubtedly, the greatest Bureau County track moment of alltime, not just my time.

• Twice as nice: Bureau County saw two runners finish as state runners-up in the 2001 IHSA State Cross Country Meet in Jason Bill of BV and Bekah Faber of Princeton. Couldn’t have happened to two nicer kids.

• Happy Days: Naming St. Bede’s J.A. Happ as our Athlete of the Year in 2000-01 certainly proved to be a good move on our part. The Bruins basketball/baseball standout has embarked on a long successful career pitching in the Big Leagues, capped with a 20-win season this year. Always been fun to follow as well as Walnut’s big leaguer Danny Kolb.

• Encore performance: The Hall Red Devils returned to the state football finals in 2001, this time in Champaign, to shut out LeRoy 21-0 to land Gary Vicini’s second state title as Hall coach.

• 3-Mendous: Brad Bickett’s Bureau Valley Storm won an unprecedented three straight third-place finishes in the IHSA 1A boys basketball state tournament from 2000-02. They were another very likeable group to follow.

I will always remember how little John Elliott backed up his fallen and late teammate Brandon Bowman against Stillman Valley.
