Who owns this building?

Historic building could be demolished

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

NEPONSET — A large, dilapidated brick building on the main drag in downtown Neponset has village officials searching

for the owner of the structure.

The building, which is located on the east end — the south side of Commercial Street, is crumbling and has become a hazard for residents walking near the property.

Earlier this year, village officials secured the area with barricades and began a search for who was responsible for the building.

Karen Ingles, Neponset Village Clerk, said the village attorney did locate the company who last purchased the building, however, she further discovered the company has since dissolved and

additional information on who might have taken over ownership has yet to be uncovered.

Ingles confirmed in August, the county put the building up for auction for taxes but received no bidders.

“Several people looked at it, but after going in there and taking a look around, they said there was just nothing in there

Thanksgiving baskets on their minds Hall Township Food Pantry gears up for the holiday season

By Zita Henneberry zhenneberry@bcrnews.com

“It is thanks to our giving community that our baskets are so full,” said Jan Martin, the Hall Township Food Pantry director, referring to the annual Thanksgiving food baskets delivered throughout the area.

The Hall Township Food Pantry will be delivering Thanksgiving food baskets to 321 families, a total of 1,007 individuals.

“We try to make our baskets a truly complete dinner — with all of the Year 168 No. 135 Three Sections - 56 Pages

trimmings, and (we) work hard to be able to do so,” Martin said.

Martin explained the Thanksgiving baskets are especially important because they help people put their struggles aside for one wholesome holiday meal.

“Our patrons are struggling to feed their families every day — and most particularly on holidays.

What a joy it is to give them a wonderful meal to take their minds off of their problems,” Martin said.

The Hall Township Food Pantry is simply working

to provide patrons with a helping hand when they need it, Martin said.

“Luckily we have a giving community that helps neighbors in need,” she said.

Martin said it is thanks to the giving community that programs such as Second Helpings was made possible. Second Helpings, a newer program, has allowed families with children to shop at the pantry twice a month throughout the summer.

The pantry also has Santa’s Workshop, open Dec. 13 at Ladd Grade School.

Remembering ... honoring ... at Elm Lawn Memorial Park Anderson: ‘It’s the one place in Bureau County where people can come and see who lost their lives during World War II’

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — In light of the celebrations and ceremonies many will take part in during the Veterans Day holiday, there is a monument located in Elm Lawn Memorial Park in Princeton that perhaps many should visit and pay homage to this year.

Just inside the entrance to the park, stands the Bureau County World War II Memorial. Upon this monument are the inscribed names of Bureau County soldiers who lost their lives in battle during war.

Willis Anderson, a World War II veteran, having served in the Navy from 1942-45 and resident of Tiskilwa, believes this memorial is one of the most significant in the county, as it recognizes all Bureau County World War II soldiers together.

“It’s the one place in Bureau County where people can come and see who lost their lives during World War II,” he said. “You can go to other memorials around the county and they’ve probably got their own memorials, but what I think what’s most significant is that this was a county-wide memorial.”

According to the July 6, 1945, edition of the Bureau County Tribune, the idea for the memorial began in 1942 when James Devore, manager of Elm Lawn Park, felt

Willis Anderson of Tiskilwa stands beside the monument in Elm Lawn Memorial Park in Princeton that honors World War II veterans of Bureau County, who lost their lives during the war. the community needed a monument to honor the men who fought in World War II. He donated the plot of land where the monument stands today.

According to Anderson, the Mothers of World War II are responsible for raising the funds to have the monument erected.

A dedication ceremony for the monument

was held on July 4, 1945.

During this ceremony, the stone memorial was erected at the time, however the names of the soldiers had yet to be inscribed upon the structure.

Anderson explained the names of soldiers had to be gathered from each Bureau County town, and a rule was given that

the soldiers had to have died before the German

Perry Memorial Hospital

Correction In the Nov. 6 issue of the Bureau County Republican, the BCR reported two Princeton residents requested payment for flood damages. However, residents Dan Shaw and Irene Milligan ‘s home damages were a result of sewage backup. Extensive pure sewage damages occurred from the lift station malfunction. Insurance claims were denied because the malfunction was not willful negligence by the city. Dan Shaw said Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson and Princeton City Commissioner Ray Mabry went out to view damages and recognized the damages as the city’s fault. The city of Princeton has paid for these damages. Irene Milligan said she greatly appreciated the city following through with the payment for the damages as they said they would. The BCR regrets the error.

and Japan armies surrendered.

It wasn’t until 1946, when an unveiling of the names printed in bronze on the monument took place. In a Bureau County Tribune edition, printed Sept. 20, 1946, Congressman Everett M. Dirksen came to Princeton and spoke during the ceremony.

For Anderson, it was a noteworthy happening for Princeton to have gotten a congressman to visit and speak during the unveiling at that time.

According to the 1946 article, while Dirksen spoke, three planes from a nearby airport flew in formation over the park and dropped flowers on the grounds.

Today, the monument continues to honor the Bureau County men. The names of each soldier are listed under their hometown.

During a recent visit to the memorial, Anderson took a moment as he focused upon the soldiers’ names under Tiskilwa. While there are only seven names listed under his hometown, they are very significant as these were men he knew and attended school with.

Open Table: The table is open for everyone!

Sheffield’s Open Table event is held the second Sunday of every month at the United Methodist Church. The event is hosted by the three Sheffield churches — the United Methodist, the United Church of Christ and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church — which alternate monthly to prepare the free meal for anyone who is hungry, lonely or who would just like some friendly conversation while enjoying a great meal. Pictured getting some of the desserts ready for last Sunday’s dinner are Judy Jones (from left), Will Jones, Ann Gripp and Leann Bill. Bill spearheaded the idea of having the Open Table event. She said about 50 to 60 people enjoy the free meal and great conversation every month.

Veterans Day 2014 Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary marking the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars. The day honors military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va.

Neponset is looking for the party responsible for this crumbling building on the south side of Commercial Street.

Neponset From Page 1 unfortunate building with a lot of history.”

While the village continues its search into the ownership, board members have thrown around the idea of the village purchasing the property and paying to demolish the building.

Ingles explained, however, this would be a last resort decision, as the cost for demolition may be out of the budget for the village.

“The village might ultimately have to take ownership, but we’re hoping that doesn’t become the case,” she said.

With winter approaching, the village most likely will have to wait until next spring if it chooses to purchase, condemn and demolish the structure.

Ingles said she’s tried to get companies who do demolition projects out to the property but has yet to have luck getting a hold of anyone who has the time to give an estimate on the project.

“There’s just no ending to its story,” Ingles said referring to the building.

Former BCR Staff Writer Donna Barker contributed to this story.

Historical facts about the Neponset building: • The building is more than 150 years old.

• It’s believed the building was built by a Mr. Burke and Mr. Wilson.

• According to the 1875 atlas, the building was owned by a Mr. John A. Russell, who was a dealer in general merchandise. Later, another structure was added to the west side of the building, and at that point, William C. Moore became involved.

• From 1895 to 1908, Charles Carpenter and George Bowen had a general store in both large structures.

• The east side of the building was a grocery store, and the west side sold dry goods, such as hats, boots, etc. At some point, the upper part of the west building was removed.

• The building has a basement, ground floor and a large upstairs that was used for meetings — such as the Neponset Masonic Lodge No. 435, that was chartered in 1865. It was temporarily discontinued in 1881 and a new chapter was issued to the Neponset Masonic Lodge No. 803 in 1891.

• In later years, the building became associated with the Kewanee Masonic Lodge. To this day, a Masonic Lodge Insignia can be seen located on the upper story of the dilapidated building.

• Later, Harry Rollins had the building remodeled. The Neponset Post Office moved into the left/east side in 1950, with Tom Studley as the postmaster. On the right/west side of the building at the time was Rollins Grocery Store until Lyman Rollins’ death in 1992.

• After World War II, many local organizations used the upstairs of the building for meeting rooms including Neponset American Legion, Neponset American Legion Auxiliary and the Neponset Sportsman’s Club.

From the editor’s desk Veterans Day ... There are a host of Veterans Day ceremonies and programs planned throughout the county today. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to attend one or two of these events, all focused on our nation’s, and specifically, our county’s veterans.

You know, I’ve done thousands of interviews throughout my journalism career, and I have to say my most memorable ones are those with our area veterans. I’ve listened to them; I’ve attempted to understand. I’ve watched their chins tremble as they retell their stories, and the tears running down my cheeks have been similar to those that come from their eyes. They are telling stories I will never understand, in hopes I can relay them to you, our readers. Those stories have touched my heart; they have changed me in ways I can’t describe.

Terri Simon Even if you can’t attend one of the Veterans Day ceremonies today, I hope you’ll take a few quiet moments to thank our area veterans, who have sacrificed so much for each and every one of us. Thank you Bureau County veterans!

••• On Sunday, I had the distinct opportunity to chat with some of the folks who organize and host the monthly Open Table event in Sheffield. Like the Princeton activity, Open Table is held for anyone who is hungry, lonely or who just wants companionship and conversation over a good, hot meal. There is no charge to attend and partake in some great home-cooked meals.

It was fun to chat with the folks about the event, and I don’t mind telling you the aromas coming from the Methodist Church kitchen in Sheffield were really tempting. Did I mention the desserts? Wow! I am so impressed with this event, and I applaud all the folks who regularly make it happen — both in Sheffield and Princeton. I have a feeling the man upstairs smiles every time you open your doors to the Open Table.

••• I’m glad the election is primarily finished. Congratulations to everyone who threw their hats in the ring — winners and losers alike. If anyone thinks it’s easy to run for public office, let me tell you ... it’s not. While I applaud those who came out on top, I also appreciate those who didn’t.

••• This Saturday is Celebrate Sheffield (see our story on Page 1). If you’ve never attended, you should come on over to the west side of the county and join in the fun.

It’s truly a village-wide event, and a lot of people go to a lot of effort to make it a fun time for everyone. If you’ve come before, you know the hospitality and fun activities make the drive worthwhile. I hope to see you there!

••• I’ve already had folks ask me when our next Illinois Valley Living will be published. We are working on stories right now, and I expect the next edition to be on the street before the end of the year. I’m glad you are excited about our magazine. We enjoy it too. If you are an advertiser and want to get in on this popular magazine, call your multi-media consultant. We’ll be happy to make a space just for you.

••• Thoughts for this week: • “In war, there are no unwounded soldiers,” Jose Narosky.

• “I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, ‘Mother, what was war?’” Eve Merriam.

• “The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war,” Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit.

• “While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, the least we should do for our brave veterans is to ensure that the government takes a proactive approach to delivering the services and benefits they have earned, so they can access the care they need and so richly deserve.” Kirsten Gillibrand.

••• I saw my first Christmas TV ad the other night ... I hope we don’t get so caught up in Christmas that we forget Thanksgiving. After all, we have a lot for which to be thankful. Have a great week. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

Should students attend school on Veterans Day? Why or why not?

“No, students should not be in school on Veterans Day. Instead of learning other things we should have a day of remembrance for those who fought to protect us.”

Kyle DeGutis, Princeton

“Yes, students should be in school on Veterans Day. We should have time to honor the veterans.”

Austin Phillips, Princeton

Yes, students should attend school on Veterans Day. With the kids in school, we spend more time to explain the meaning of Veterans Day. There is a Veterans Day program at Logan School every year.”

Betty Baznik, Princeton

“I believe that students should be in school on Veterans Day. The most important reason is that, besides the contribution of veterans, education is the single most important factor in ensuring our freedom.

David Gray, Princeton

“I believe students should attend school on Veterans Day. If students are off that day, most of them wouldn’t know what for. Most schools who are in session that day have a Veterans Day assembly where they learn about what veterans lived through while serving our country.”

Larissa Pinter, Malden

Headlines from the past In past editions of this column, we have looked at the events of the early 1900s and the headlines from those early years. Let us jump ahead a few years to the 1930s. The Great Depression is in full swing, and Prohibition is about to end.

There might be a few names one might recognize of some of Princeton’s more famous sons in these articles also. All articles are from the Bureau County Republican, so here we go ...

Sept. 24, 1931: “Princeton High Opens Tomorrow Against DePue.” Coach Nance of Princeton recently weeded out 22 players for this season’s football starting lineup with the first game against DePue tomorrow night. The coaching staff consisting of Nance and assistant coaches Al Moser and Don Fuller have learned little of the strength of the DePue team short of DePue’s 19-6 victory over LaSalle-Peru last Saturday. Any win over DePue, no matter how small the margin, would be acceptable.

Only three lettermen remain with the team this season consisting of mostly freshman and sophomores.

A few included in the starting lineup are: (Richard) Widmark, Dean, Erickson, Haberkorn, Nelson, Best, Miller, Johnson, Shenlund and Parker.

Oct. 1, 1931: Headlines are “DePue Swamps Princeton High School.” The final score of last Friday’s football game between Princeton and DePue was Princeton 0-DePue 39. Swamped indeed!

Sept. 24, 1931: “Kewanee Baby Bandit Faces Reformatory Term.”

Todd Borsch COMMENTARY

Bobbie Frantzen, 11 years old, confessed to a dozen robberies on Saturday before Judge Davis of Henry County. Police continue to recover loot which was taken from a dozen homes and businesses. Authorities also recovered $192.05 stolen from the Kline Department Store. It will be recommended to the court that Frantzen be placed in a state institution.

Sept. 24, 2014: Miss Frances Pearson of Mendota and George Roades of Compton were held up on Friday night by four young men while in Mendota. The bandits forced Roade’s vehicle to the curb and told the couple to get out. The couple was then taken for a ride to a lonely spot on Route 2 south of Mendota where the bandits proceeded to remove the girl’s stockings and tied the two to a wire fence. The leader of the bandits told the two he was an ex-convict and unable to get a job. He warned the victims not to cry out and to wait 10 minutes before releasing themselves. Mr. Roades was relieved of $1.50, and the bandits also took his car.

June 9, 1932: Mr. and Mrs. E.T. Nichols of Princeton received word of the honors that their grandson, Virgil Keel Fox, have been accorded at Peabody University in

Baltimore. Fox, a Princeton High School graduate, has been at Peabody University and gave his final recital recently. Fox has been at Peabody a year and will be the only student to receive both his diploma and certificate simultaneously.

June 15, 1932: “Diplomas Are Awarded to 81 P.H.S. Seniors.” On June 10, 81 students received their diplomas at the 63 annual Commencement Exercise held at the Princeton Township High School Auditorium. Edward Grampp was chosen by classmates to give an oration, as well as Richard Widmark. Widmark is class president and a very popular student and athlete. Grampp’s subject was “See Illinois First,” followed by Widmark whose oration was titled, “The ‘Also Rans.’” Widmark’s subject was on the valuable men who have been lost throughout history because of presidential defeats, yet these men accomplished greater things in a different capacity.

David Pamp presented the diplomas and also spoke on the subject that the foundation of citizenship is a Christian character. Pamp used the example of Aaron Burr, who was one of the subjects of Widmark’s oration. Membership in the National Athletic Scholarship Society was awarded to Tom Best, Kent Cain, Gail Castner, Aldean Duffield, Bruce Grant, Carmi Miller, Edward Grampp, Tony Maidment, Lester Peterson and Richard Widmark.

Festival 56 opens fall season Friday with ‘Love, Loss and What I Wore’ PRINCETON — Festival 56 will kick off its fall season Friday with “Love, Loss and What I Wore,” followed by “Rounding Third,” opening Nov. 28, and “There’s a Christmas Tree in Terminal C,” opening Dec. 12.

In “Love, Loss and What I Wore,” a woman’s life is reflected in the contents of her closet: the dress she wore to senior prom, the heels she wore on that last first date, the purse she carried at her mother’s funeral.

Written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, this funny and powerful play explores the pivotal moments of women’s lives and how they become connected to those items that were worn, the ghosts in the closet. The show will run Nov. 14-22.

A few fun, fashion-focused events will be held in conjunction with select performances of “Love, Loss and What I Wore.” Opening night Friday (Nov. 14) will feature displays from show sponsor, Flowers By Julia, while short fashion shows highlighting clothing and accessories from local businesses will precede the performances on Sat-

PHS will present ‘Emily Sticksenstones’ Friday, Saturday PRINCETON — The Princeton High School Theater Department presents a new, unpublished play “Emily Sticksenstones” written by Camilla Schade, designed and performed as a living black and white cartoon.

This full length play is about a young girl learning to cope with loss. Emily, played by Abbey Fiegenschuh, is introduced to loss at a young age when her dear pet, Samsonite, played by Miles Rose, does not come home and her parents divorce. The audience learns through Emily’s experience that there is no quick fix for loss but it helps to have good friends, family, and professionals walk with us during times of loss. Emily discovers the hard work of dealing with grief has to

be done alone. She learns how to do that slowly with love, humor and help. As Emily emerges from her own loss she is able to have more empathy for others.

Voice of the Children Thank you, Veterans

Editor’s note: Students at St. Louis Catholic School in Princeton recently wrote essays about veterans to celebrate Veterans Day. Following are some of the essays written. The BCR is publishing them exactly as they were submitted.

Veterans Day On Veterans Day, we honor those who have served in our military. We remember those who died to give us the rights that we take advantage of each day. Even though Veterans Day is an important holiday many people don’t know its history.

On the eleventh month, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh hour of 1918, an armistice, or a temporary ending of hostilities, was settled between the Allied Nations and Germany. The “Great War” was finally over. Over sixteen million people died. Seven million of them were civilians, nine million were soldiers. The whole world mourned the loss of all the brave soldiers and civilians. On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was finally signed settling all feuds.

When the one year anniversary of the end of World War I came around, President Wilson named the day Armistice Day to remind people of the tragedies of the war. Even though President Wilson named it a holiday, Armistice Day didn’t officially became a holiday until 1938.

When World War II ended it left 1 million American soldiers dead. Then the Korean War began and kills another one hundred thousand American soldiers.

Due to all the American deaths, President Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 to remember not only the World War I veterans but all veterans. Even though he signed the bill in 1954, the law did not officially take effect until 1971.

Today, kids do not truly appreciate Veterans Day. Most kids don’t take time to reflect on the living and dead heroes of America. Today, I am proud to stand here to thank you. So thank you, thank you for giving me the freedom to live a life where I can make my own decisions.

Thank you for making me free.

Nicole Carlone, eighth grade

Home of the Brave Every time someone says America, I instantly think of the men and women that served and continue to serve our country. Without them, there would be no such thing as freedom in the United States. Our country is very fortunate to have citizens so devoted to their country, that they risk their lives every day just to make sure the rest of us can live our lives to the fullest.

Without freedom, and men and women to fight for it, I would be afraid to go to school everyday and do the little things that I take for granted. Just think about it for a second, what if there was no freedom? What if everyday we lived in fear of something bad happening? But I don’t have to worry about that because of the brave veterans and soldiers who protect our rights. That’s why when I see an active soldier in uniform, I thank them for all their hard work that they put in for me.

My grandfather, Raymond Taets, was a World War II veteran. Unfortunately, he died in 2002 when I was a baby so I didn’t get to hear any stories from him personally. Just the way everyone lights up when they talk about him gives me the reason to show respect for everyone who has been in combat. I only have one picture with my hero but that picture is worth a thousand words to me.

If I could, I would shake every veteran’s hand saying thank you for all the time you put into saving our country.

Thank you for risking your life for the little things I take for granted. Thank you for being so brave.

What is a Veteran?

Veteran

In today’s society, it’s all about super heroes. Whether at the movies or on television shows, we see super heroes.

Movie stars or cartoon characters can save the world in 120 minutes or less.

That’s Hollywood! But in reality the true super heroes are the veterans sitting right before us.

These people, our grandparents, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, uncles or neighbors are the true super heroes and I thank you. You valued your countries well-being more than your own. You had families, jobs, and obligations, yet you chose to defend our nation’s freedom because of your concern and dedication.

You did not hesitate to risk your life for the cause.

The lifestyle we enjoy today is a direct result of the great sacrifice you made.

Without these sacrifices the world would be a totally different place. We would not have the freedoms we are so used to.

You did not do this for fame and glory, but for the dedication to this country.

In conclusion, I would like to thank our true super heroes. I have great respect and admiration for you. Because of you, our generation can be inspired to fight for our own beliefs no matter how big or small. You have made a difference!

May God bless you and the families who have lost their loved ones for the sake of freedom. You are inspirational role models and true super heroes.

Ally Murray, eighth grade

If you look in the dictionary for the word veteran, the definition is clear, precise, and accurate. You will discover something like: “a person who has had long service or experience in an occupation, office, or of many sports competitions.” And the second definition consists of something like: “a person who has served in a military force, especially who has fought in a war,” which is slightly more accurate in this case.

For just a moment imagine you had absolutely no idea what a veteran is. So, you searched for a definition, which is what most of us would do just out of curiosity. The definition you find really does no justice to veterans and what they risked and gave up in order to defend what we are fortunate enough to call the United States of America; the land of the free and the home of the brave.

We can never really understand what veterans went through, but as a country, America established a special day to acknowledge our soldiers and past and present. We take time on this day to honor them, appreciate them, listen to their stories, and finally, to thank them.

One day is not nearly enough to thank veterans and current military for your service and dedication. But I think we all would like to take this time to say thank you for being “a person who has served in a military force, especially who has fought in a war.” Thank you for being that, and all that goes beyond that definition.

Lydia Mead, eighth grade

What makes America the “land of the free and the home of the brave”? Is it the beautiful rolling hills or the breathtaking snow-capped mountain? While these are all factors that add to the American legacy, the most important is freedom.

Freedom is what so many men and women fought for and gave their lives.

Unfortunately, freedom is often taken for granted or forgotten about. But we must never forget the sacrifice made by these heroic people.

We are very lucky to live here. We are lucky enough to be able to go to school, choose the career that we wish to have, and be able to raise a family with whomever we choose. We have you to thank, our veterans, because of you, and all the brave men and women who fought for this country, we get to live each day as free men and women living, laughing, working, and loving as free American citizens.

Steve Buyer once said, “Twenty-five million veterans live among us today.

These men and women selflessly set aside their lives to put on the uniform and serve us.” He is correct. You bravely put on the uniform and marched into battle, not knowing what challenges you might face. You made one of the most courageous decisions I have ever known.

While only one day is dedicated to veterans, we must never forget the sacrifice you made. We owe you all a debt we can never fully repay.

Thank you. Thank you for the sacrifice you made. Thank you for accepting the responsibility to defend this country and uphold our values. I cannot say thank you enough because the choice you made greatly impacted the world. I can only hope that one day I may be half as strong as you. So with that, I end with the wise words of John Hoeven, “From the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country it is today.” Thank you.

Sabrina Bickett, eighth grade

A Veteran’s Work It is the veteran’s work that lets be us free.

It is the veteran’s work, that allows us to do what we do today.

It is the veteran’s work, that lets us go to school and get a proper education.

It is the veteran’s work, that lets us choose what we want to be when we grow up.

It is a veteran’s work That lets us make a living.

It is a Veteran’s work That allows us to be the country we are.

Luke Anderson, seventh grade

What is Freedom??

What is freedom?

Freedom is playing outside or riding a bike, and eating ice cream when I want to.

What is freedom?

Freedom is going to school to learn about our history.

What is freedom?

Freedom is talking with a friend or going for a walk with your dog without being afraid.

What does freedom mean to me?

Freedom to me is to not be controlled by people.

Freedom is to be with my family and friends and having fun.

What does freedom mean to you?

IHSA Class 1A Boys State Cross Country Meet

Class 2A playoffs

Taking the fifth

Baldonado lands fifth-place finish

Hall at Eastland-Pearl City

EPC outlasts Hall

By Cody Cutter

By Kevin Hieronymus

PEORIA — Saturday was the last hurrah for Al Baldonado.

The Hall Red Devil senior competed in his final high school race at the IHSA Class 1A State Meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park, wanting to create a different picture from his tight experience in last year’s meet.

“I was just in a huge pack the whole time,” Baldonado said. “It was just crazy.”

Baldonado used that as motivation to perform better in his final race.

In a run that went exactly as planned for him, Baldonado navigated the Detweiller course in 15 minutes, 10 seconds. The finish was good enough for fifth place in all of Class 1A, with Baldonado becoming the eighth runner in Bureau County history to place in the top five, and the first to do so since Hall’s Scott Janusick took third in 2010.

Baldonado and Hall coach Tom Keegan spent Wednesday afternoon at Detweiller getting used to the surroundings. From there, Baldonado was able to formulate a gameplan to help him do well three days later.

“I came down Wednesday, just so I could run the course and visualize how it was going,” Baldonado said. “I wanted to visualize being in a big pack in the first mile, then making my move out there and getting into the top 10 and maintaining that

LANARK — The Hall Red Devils scored twice in the third quarter Saturday, including a nineplay, 59-yard scoring drive, to take a 20-14 lead over favored and undefeated Eastland-Pearl City.

With an upset brewing, Red Devil fans hardly had time to celebrate however, when EPC’s Eric Schaney calmed the red storm.

The 215-pound senior back raced 80 yards on the very first play from scrimmage to give the Wildcatz a 21-20 lead with the PAT. Hall failed to recover the regular kickoff by EPC and Schaney added a twoyard score early in the fourth quarter, and the Red Devils never recovered, falling 27-20.

“That’s one thing with these kids, no matter what, they show up to play,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “We talked on the bus about a lot of the adversity we went through this season, and they came out here and

played their hearts out.

“We talked all week, why you want to win this game and why you want to advance, and what not. Different things, getting another shot at Rockridge or Orion, whoever wins over there.

Just getting to that next round, getting to the quarterfinals, because we haven’t been there in so long. The kids came to play today, that’s all I can ask for. And they gave me 100 percent all day.”

Hall struck first with a 21-yard pass from quarterback Drew Pullam to Jake Merkel, who snaked his way through traffic to paydirt. Matt Krola, who set up the scoring play with a fumble recovery down to the EPC, 2A added the PAT kick to make it 7-0 with 1:27 left in the second quarter.

Tieman said it was a play one of his assistants saw at gametime that the Red Devils could exploit.

“He saw something there, and we knew (number) 6 was having trouble cutting,” Tieman said. “So, we kind of ran

BV’s Haley Weidner is all smiles from the stage after placing 24th in the IHSA Class 1A State Meet.

PEORIA — Bureau Valley freshman Haley Weidner worked hard throughout the year to make it to the Class 1A IHSA State Final Meet in Peoria’s Detweiller Park.

With it being her first state meet, and nursing a hamstring earlier in the week, she didn’t want to screw anything up more or let something slip up — or off.

But it happened. Just past the one-mile mark, Weidner got clipped by a runner behind her in a tight pack along with her older sister, Regan, and off came a shoe.

On the biggest stage of Illinois cross country, Weidner was left a little embarrassed with the unusual circumstance.

Seeking out Storm coach Dale Donner along the course, Weidner kept asking about what to do.

“I don’t know what she

wanted me to do,” Donner said. “We just kept telling her to fight it out and run.”

With the next two miles suddenly becoming more challenging than originally thought, Weidner carried on and fought through to take 24th place with a time of 18:26 to lead four local competitors.

“I’m very satisfied,” Haley said. “Anything in the top 25 would have been good. Everything felt

Storm building team chemistry

MANLIUS — Implementing a new offense can be tough to navigate for a young coach and young team.

Tiffany Gonigam knew there would be some growing pains as she brought a new offen-

sive outlook to the Storm Cellar three years ago, and now thinks her team has the chemistry and has matured to a level where they are ready to make a postseason push.

“The biggest thing for us this year is team chemistry. We have a full roster this year and we’re taking 15 girls to our first

tournament,” Gonigam said. “I can tell you from the first day of camp this summer, the girls have really gravitated to each other and have worked amazing as a group.”

Season two under Gonigam saw BV finishing at 10-17, posting nine more wins than her first season, and that trend

Playoff roundup

Rockridge, Newman advance

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Both division champions in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference have advanced to quarterfinal play in the IHSA State Football Playoffs.

Three Rivers South champion Rockridge advanced in the 2A playoffs with a 28-7 win over league rival Orion.

The No. 3 seed Rockets (10-1) will host No. 1 Eastland-Pearl City in the 2A quarterfinals at 1 p.m.

it at him and he couldn’t get it over the top on that. That was something we adjusted during the game.

The plays we did see we thought we could run we had some success with.”

The Red Devils were unable to make that lead stand up at halftime.

EPC marched 71 yards in four plays, scoring on a 18-yard pass from Deven Heeren to Brighton Haverland to tie the game at 7 at halftime.

The Wildcatz regained early momentum in the second half when Danny Groezinger’s 65-yad interception return to the Hall 5 set up a Schaney TD to go up 14-7 at the 9:07 mark of the third quarter.

Merkel worked his magic again for the Red Devils, eluding EPC defenders to take in a 31-yard pass play.

Krolak’s PAT tied the game at 14 with 5:41 left in the third quarter.

A 55-yard pass to Merkel set up the next Red Devils score, Kerr pounding the ball into the end zone from a yard out. Krolak’s PAT was blocked, but Hall led 20-14 with 1:02 left in the third quarter.

Krolak kicked off into the end zone for a touchback, but it would prove to not put the Wildcatz deep enough. Schaney ran over one Hall defender, then raced down the left sidelines for an 80-yard romp.

“I thought I was going to get caught.

I was just thinking, ‘I have to run hard for our team,’” said Schaney, who finished with 153 rushing yards.

“We needed that drive.”

It was certainly not what Hall needed after taking the lead.

“We may not have the right people in on that play. We were still in our 5-4, but we had a couple coverage guys in that didn’t get out,” Tieman said.

BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus

Hall’s Andrew Kerr carries EPC’s Michael Sheriff for a ride on a rush at Lanark Saturday.

Perhaps stunned by that run, Hall inexplicably failed to get its hands on the EPC kickoff, which was not an onside kick, the Wildcatz recovering on the Hall 31. Seven plays later, Schaney cashed in from the two-yard line to put the Wildcatz up 27-20, missing the PAT this time.

Hall got a long kickoff return by Merkel to the EPC 31, but Pullam’s second down pass from the 16 was picked off by EPC’s Walter Ollie.

Hall’s next possession also ended with an interception on a halfback pass by Merkel and EPC ran out the clock.

“We did some good things and we made a few mistakes that pretty much cost us. We had to shore up the mistakes and we made a few,” Tieman said.

EPC coach Randy Asche said Hall’s effort gave his Wildcatz a reality check. “[Hall] fought us every step of the

way,” he said. “It kind of brought us down to reality. Our guys learned they’re not the greatest thing since sliced bread. I really like the toughness we showed today.”

While Hall will bring back many players looking to go deeper in the playoffs, Tieman knows he will lose some valuable seniors.

“It’s hard saying good bye to those seniors,” said Tieman, who shared an emotional postgame hug with senior A.J. Gaeta. “They’re part of the reason this all turned around.

They stepped up last year. A few of them played quite a bit for, and this year they took that leadership role and moved on with it.”

EPC (11-0) will face a second dose of the Three Rivers South when it faces league champ Rockridge (101) in the 2A quarterfinals. Rockridge beat Orion 28-7.

Bureau Valley freshman Haley Weidner lost her left shoe during the race in Peoria. She managed to secure all-state honors with a 24th-place finish.

Girls From Page 11 good except for running with one shoe. In the first mile, someone spiked the back of it, and I had to kick it off. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, except for running on the [roads] going in and out of the back part.”

Weidner said her sister Regan, who came in 56th place with a time of 19:13, jinxed her before the race.

“She said that it would stink if you had lost a shoe or a shoe came untied,” Haley said.

“Yeah, I said that,” Regan said. “I think I jinxed her.”

The sisters were in a pack among the top 30 in the first half-mile, but when it looked like Haley was going to slow down with her loss of footwear, Regan wound up struggling after the one-mile mark. While Haley was clinging onto a top 30 spot, Regan – who ran a 5:56 first mile – was fighting to stay in the top 50. She would eventually become overwhelmed each time a runner passed by.

“I ran slower here than I did at Peoria Heights a couple of weeks ago,” Regan said. “That says a lot right there. I didn’t have it in me. My legs, once I started dropping and trying to go for passes, with each girl that passed me, I just let it get to me.”

Donner noted that the sisters may have started out too quick.

“They both got out a little quicker than I wanted them to be, but they held on,” Donner said.

Saturday marked a bittersweet time for the

to the finish.”

Baldonado got into the top ten after the first mile.

He hung with a pack of about ten runners before the group transitioned into a line during the second mile. He was in the bottom half of the top ten as he made his way toward the third mile’s acute turn toward the final stretch.

By the turn, Baldonado hung with Rock Falls’ Seth Williams and Winnebago’s Nathan Smith before turning his knob over to another level. He caught up to overtake Mt. Zion’s Curtis Reed and Rochester’s Michael Gleason and saw Rockford Christian’s Nick Monkemeyer close up ahead.

“We came around a little bend, and that’s when the real sprinting started,” Baldonado said. “It starting hurting and hurting. It hurt real bad, but eventually it started to go away, and I had had to get them.

I didn’t feel anything for that last hundred meters.”

Keegan kept a watch on his senior runner but didn’t carry any timing devices of his own, instead focusing on positioning.

He made his way over to the top of the coach’s viewing bleachers to get a closer look at Baldonado.

“I had a feeling that he was going to have a kick in him, and he sure did,” Keegan said. “It’s a culmination of a lot of hard work on his part. He’s been a

Every weekend, kids have been talking about him.

Adults in the crowd have been talking about him.”

Baldonado’s time was a personal best by about ten seconds, and fittingly, in his final race. This season, he topped out at 15:32 and struggled with trying to find a way to improve on it.

“I was like, ‘Man, I can’t seem to get back down there,’” Baldonado said.

“I had my breakthrough race today. No better day.

I feel that I gave it everything I had. I have no regrets.”

Last year, Baldonado finished in 17th place with a time of 15:38.

“Last year at the state meet, I went out in the first quarter-mile in a minute,” Baldonado said.

“I told myself that I wasn’t going to get caught up in that. I stayed a little conservative on the start, but overall I was just planning on getting into position after the mile and staying there.”

“I try to get out of his way,” Keegan said. “He’s self-made and anything I say is stupid. I get out of his way and let him do his thing.”

Jon Davis of Fithan Oakwood won the race in 14:19, besting Tuscola’s Eric Fonder by 42 seconds. Davis set a new small school standard, besting Beecher alum Grant Nykaza’s record of 14:22 two years ago.

Monticello won the team title with 91 points.

Fellow Three Rivers Conference foe Newman was ninth with 216 points, led by Bryson Reyes’s 34th-place finish in 15:41.

Scoreboard Cross country

Shaw Media Service photo/Alex T. Paschal

Regan Weidner competes at the state cross country meet in Peoria.

Weidner sisters, as this was their final high school cross country race together. Regan, who is undecided as to college competition, had promise in her underclass years, and was runner-up at the state meet two years ago until injuries slowed her down the rest of her career.

“I’ll push this memory out of my head and just remember that one,” Regan said of her runner-up finish in this same race two years ago. “I’ll remember having a season with my sister. It’s been a lot of fun, and we’ve both pushed each other. I push her in distance runner, and she pushes me in speed workouts. It actually made us really close. I kind of see herself as me as a freshman.”

“I love running with my sister,” Haley said. “This being my first year in cross country and having your sister there with you to guide you through it, it’s going to help me next year.

It was good having her.

What I’ve learned about

being in cross country is that not only do you have to have the endurance, but you have to know and tell yourself that you can do it.

It’s more of a mind game than a running thing.”

Amboy sophomore Megan Grady finished 63rd with a time of 19:21.

St. Joseph-Ogden won the team title with 86 points, followed by Urbana U-High (170), and Annawan/Wethersfield (189) – who was led

by Kirstie Ramsey’s 11th place finish in 18:02.

Anna Sophia Keller of Effingham St. Anthony won the race in 16:27. A familiar foe of Haley’s, U-High’s Arielle Summitt, came in third at 17:17.

“The runners in Class 1A are unbelievable,” Haley said. “Anna Sophia, she’s amazingly fast. Arielle Summit won the 1600 last year in eighth grade. She beat me in that. There’s just a whole bunch of amazing runners in this class.”

Storm From Page 11 Reuter and Heaven Bennett saw playing time in the frontcourt as forwards. As a sophomore, Bennett was an all-conference honorable mention but was limited to only nine games last season due to infectious mononucleosis.

“Out of the four returning seniors, there’s not one that sticks out as a leader above the others.

I watch these girls and they have the same outlook and goals for our team and they’re all leaders. Every single one of them leads in some way and encourages the rest of the team in some way,” Gonigam said.

Although she returns six letterwinners, Gonigam hasn’t set a starting roster as new freshman guard Addison Moreland and senior newcomer Lindsey Hoffert are in the mix for starting playing time.

“Lindsey’s skills may be a little rusty at first but I know she can go in and make plays, especially on defense,” Gonigam said. “She’s a wonderful athlete and if we could get her polished by Christmas, that would be great,” Gonigam said.

“She will be a great addition to the four other seniors on the team.”

Hoffert played basketball as a freshman but hadn’t played the last two seasons and looks to make an instant impact on an already athletic squad.

Junior guards Darcy Kepner and Savannah Dean return as junior letterwinners.

Also on the squad are junior guards Sidney Kolb and Savanna Bell, with junior Sam Stocking in the post.

Four freshmen round out the roster, with post players Cassidy Olds and Ellen Johnson and Nicole Wirth and Christen Hurley vying for playing time at the guard positions.

Getting her entire program to mesh as a cohesive unit has been a key focus under Gonigam and that starts at the beginning levels of the BV girls basketball system.

“We do your normal skills camps and summer league, but one of the special things that our program does is take a trip to the Wisconsin Dells and that’s everybody in the entire program, including junior high,” Gonigam said. “It just brings everyone together. It improved

our chemistry and that’s not just getting along and respecting each other, they seem to know where each other are out on the court because they’ve learned to work together so well, and it’s fun. It’s just fun.”

The team is off and clicking as a unit to start practice, but Bickett always sees room to improve their skills on the court and the rapport amongst her teammates.

“I am really excited coming into this season because I believe we will work hard every day and have a positive attitude at all times,” Bickett said.

Having her team buy into her plan and way of thinking has put Gonigam’s Storm squad in a position to be successful as long as they continue to strive for improvement.

“Each year we’re further along than the year before. The pieces are in place. I think this will be a fun year,” Gonigam said.

Remembering, honoring our area veterans Every face you see tells a unique story

By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com

For weeks, the pages you’re looking at now have been a work in progress. From Veterans Day 2013 until just a few weeks ago, you — our readers — have sent us photographs and information regarding your veterans.

The photos come in a variety of manners. Some still in the frames that you proudly display in your homes. Others are in an envelope — the paper is seemingly frail, and in some cases, even brittle.

Others photos are copies made

on a regular piece of paper, in hopes we can publish them in this section. And we do. We do our best to publish the best image we can of your beloved veterans.

At first, it’s merely another newsroom job — collecting all the photographs, typing the information below and then arranging them on the pages you are holding now. But somewhere along the way, the simple — and often not so simple — task becomes more than just another newsroom function.

After all, each name, each photo gets our attention. We study the faces — some with familiar last names; some we don’t know at all. Still, we find ourselves handling each photo with the respect it deserves. We don’t take the job lightly, and quite frankly, by the time we get through the first 25

or 30 photographs, we find ourselves wondering about the men and women pictured before us.

The expressions ... I think that’s what catches our attention most.

As you look through these pages, I think you’ll see what we see — a myriad of men and women, each owning their own personal expression. Some rightfully appear frightened, while others are smirking at the camera — probably thinking about someone back home who would have ultimately seen the photo many years ago. Some expressions are stoic; I think those affect us most, since we have no idea what was going through their minds/ hearts as the photo was snapped.

Many of the faces own smiles — warm smiles that, in many cases, continue to live on living room walls and fireplace mantles. And

in some cases, it is the last smile delivered to those back home, when the ultimate sacrifice was made.

May you study each page, each face. May you quietly thank each one of them for their service. And

may you know that every county — just like Bureau County — has a host of equally proud veterans and their families just like you see here.

We proudly present to you our 2014 Salute to Veterans.
