DePue buys former bank building Village still working on how it will utilize the space

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

DEPUE — The village of DePue is in the process of purchasing the former bank building that most recently housed a Heartland Bank and Trust Co. branch.

The DePue bank branch closed its doors in September after they reported a decline in customer traffic at the bank location.

Mayor Eric Bryant recently explained the village board agreed to purchase the building from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) at a price of $20,000.

“I think early on it was listed in properties for sale for $65,000. When we called, they reduced the price and asked $40,000.

(The village offered) $20,000, and they accepted,” he said. “We made it work. We think we got a great deal, and hopefully, we make good use of it.”

Bryant said it was brought to his attention the FDIC had asked Heartland to remove a large, antique vault from the building when clearing the location. The vault weighs about 9.5 tons and has been a part of the bank building for years, Bryant said.

Bryant said Heartland was looking into tearing out a window to have the vault removed, because it was too large to remove through a doorway.

With fear of damaging the building structure, and the removal of a safe that holds historic value to DePue, Bryant said the village decided to step up and make the purchase.

“We didn’t want to see that safe be taken out of there,” he said.

The village has made attempts to attract a new bank to move into the location. Bryant expressed concerns about the village no longer having a bank in the village.

PHS: The report card is in Berlinski discusses PHS scores

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Princeton High School students continue to score above academic state averages, according to the 2013 Illinois Report Card.

The recently-released Illinois Report Card shows PHS students have had above state averages for the PSAE (Prairie State Achievement Exam) for the past four years.

As an example, PHS students had a composite score in reading and math of 65 percent of its students meeting or exceeding state standards, compared to a state score of 53 percent.

In explaining some of the information on the PHS Report Card, PHS Principal Andy Berlinski said the PSAE has two components. Day 1 of the testing is the ACT which tests English, math, reading and science, and Day 2 is the WorkKeys testing for applied math and applied reading, which

Same-sex marriages in Bureau County Governor expected to sign law Nov. 20

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Starting in June 2014, same-sex couples will be able to obtain marriage licenses in Illinois. Currently, those couples have been able to get civil union licenses through county clerk offices throughout the state.

On Friday, Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said her office has processed

seven civil union applications and licenses since the civil union legislation went into effect in June 2011.

Four of those civil union applications in Bureau County were processed in the first eligible year, in 2011; there was one application in 2012. So far this year, there have been two civil union applications processed through her office, she said.

The civil union application and license

is returned to her office and processed just like a marriage license would be.

Once the new same-sex marriage license becomes effective in June, she does not expect any additional paperwork or expense to her office.

County clerk offices in neighboring Whiteside and Lee counties have each recorded 10 civil unions since June 2011.

In comparison with the number of civil union applications handled through her

Making friends at Christmas in the Valley Jessica Waddell knows the way to a goat’s heart is apparently through his stomach as she and other area children feed the goats at a petting zoo set up for Saturday’s Christmas in the Valley event in Spring Valley. Other activities of the day included trolley rides, holiday music, face painting and games, and of course, early shopping for Christmas.

PHS From Page 1 determines whether the student can apply what he/she has learned in the classroom to non-classroom situations.

Once again this year, PHS did not meet AYP (adequate yearly progress), which is the percentage of students who are to meet and/or exceed standards on the PSAE examination, Berlinski said.

“What is flawed with this system is that the examination doesn’t take into account that the students testing change every year. It is a single point of data rather than a Point A to Point B comparison,” Berlinski said. “We prefer to look at the level a student entered our building as ninth-graders and the growth they made from that time until their

taking of the PSAE. AYP does not take the individual student growth into account.”

With the implementation of the new Common Core Standards, the PSAE as it is now known will no longer exist, Berlinski said. Instead, the new PARCC Assessment will take the place of the EXPLORE testing for freshmen, the PLAN testing for sophomores, and the PSAE for juniors, he said.

The PARCC Assessment will be given to each PHS student a minimum of twice a year throughout high school, Berlinski said. Additionally, the PARCC will replace the ISAT testing given at elementary schools for many years.

“I believe this testing will be able to provide some great long-term longitudinal data,” Berlinski

added.

In addition to the academic information, the PHS Report Card also gives a snapshot into other aspects of PHS, including student mobility and graduation rates, low-income student rates, class size, revenue sources for the district, the costs to educate each student and teacher education.

For instance, the report card shows 87 percent of PHS students graduate in four years. Within five years, PHS has a graduation rate of 90 percent of its students. The district has an 8 percent student mobility rate, and 31 percent of its students are considered to be lowincome The cost per student for instructional spending is $7,421, with another $11,835 spent per student in operational spending.

Looking at the value of

the Illinois State Report Card, Berlinski said PHS administration and staff do a great deal with the data analysis of the PSAE test results, including an individual item analysis of test questions to determine areas of focus within the teaching and curriculum at PHS. As far as the value of the report card for parents, Berlinski recommended parents and community members visit the new Illinois Interactive Report Card and look up Princeton High School. The state has redesigned the layout to make school data and information more userfriendly.

Though the report card was not reviewed in detail at the recent October school board meeting, Superintendent Kirk Haring did comment on the report card, saying PHS

students did well in comparison to other districts in Illinois. The positive results is to the credit of the staff and most importantly to the students for taking it seriously and putting forth their best efforts, he said.

“I’m very happy with those scores,” Haring said.

“I look forward to continuing to find ways to improve on those scores.”

DePue From Page 1 “It’s been a burden on businesses in town. We’d certainly like to see a local bank move in. We’ve reached out to several banks, and even if it was open for only a couple days a week for residents to make deposits or cash checks, it would be beneficial,” he said. “Whoever would come here would receive a good response and attract a different customer base.”

While the building purchase also included the small space located directly to the left of the former bank, which formally housed the library, Bryant said the village has discussed utilizing the space for a possible future historical museum.

“The 150th anniversary committee is looking for a building to display historic items collected on the village,” Bryant said. “But these are all just thoughts right now.”

“They are both cramped for space, and both departments really need a vault-type area to secure important docu-

The final decision on what to utilize the space for is yet to be determined. Currently the village is finalizing paperwork for the purchase and anticipates having full ownership by the end of the year.

Helping those involved with Typhoon Haiyan

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Typhoon Haiyan reportedly has affected 4.3 million people across 36 provinces in central Philippines.

The typhoon swept through the area on Friday, bringing with it sustained winds reported in excess of 145 miles per hour.

The American Red Cross has reported Haiyan as the second Category 5 typhoon to strike the Philippines this year.

According to the American Red Cross website, Philippine Red Cross volunteers have reported significant damage and a

growing death toll.

As of Monday morning, 1,200 evacuation centers were housing more than 330,000 people left homeless by the storm.

Bureau County residents who are interested in making a donation to help disaster relief efforts can donate $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999. Through the texting option, the donation is added to the mobile phone bill or deducted from a prepaid balance.

Bureau County Red Cross Director Lori Compton was not available for comment by press time, but in a past disaster relief situation, she encouraged Bureau County residents to support the Red Cross

disaster relief effort. She explained in the past for those writing checks to the Red Cross, it’s important to write “Disaster Relief” on the memo line of the check, and not to designate the money to any specific relief effort.

While communication is very limited in the hardest hit communities within the Philippines, the American Red Cross has sent more than two telecommunication specialists and a satellite system.

The Red Cross has also activated its family tracing services. Those who are looking for a missing family member are reminded many phone lines are down. The Red

Cross encourages family members to continue trying to contact a family member who is in the affected Philippines area.

If unable to reach someone, citizens are asked to contact their local chapter of the American Red Cross to initiate a tracing case.

The inquiries must involve people living in the affected areas who were in regular contact with relatives in the United States during the past 12 months. The service is only for inquiries involving family members who are not U.S. citizens, according to the American Red Cross website.

Eliminating the risk factors November is American Diabetes Month

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department has joined state health officials in encouraging people to safeguard themselves, so they don’t join the rising number of people with diabetes.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), the percentage of Illinois adults diagnosed with diabetes rose 60 percent between 1995 and 2010, and that number is projected to increase another 25 percent by 2020.

With November designated as American Diabetes Month, IDPH Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said residents need to learn the risk factors associated with diabetes and how to reduce or eliminate those risk factors.

“With more than 827,000 adults in Illinois diagnosed with diabe-

tes and more than 2,700 residents dying from the disease each year, you need to know how to control your risk of being diagnosed with diabetes,” said Hasbrouck. “First, learn your numbers – weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels – and then talk with your health care professional about what you can do to make sure those numbers are at a healthy level.”

Bureau/Putnam County Health Department Administrator Diana Rawlings said approximately 7 percent of residents of Bureau and Putnam counties are diabetic, according to information gathered for the health department’s IPLAN. Statewide, an estimated 9 percent of Illinois residents are diabetic.

To help area residents learn about diabetes, Rawlings said the health department is beginning its second year of its We Choose Health grant, with a focus to reduce obesity through increasing nutrition and physical activity.

Currently, the health department is working with three area school districts to implement changes that will help children, teachers and staff be healthier, including reducing and preventing obesity. The health department has also completed a pilot Worksite Wellness program and will offer this program to businesses and schools in the upcoming year.

In general, there are some simple things people can do to help with their weight and health, such as getting up and moving more throughout the day, Rawlings said. Another simple strategy is to drink more water.

Benjamin Fogle, health educator for the local health department, said weight and weight loss is controlled primary by three main factors, which are nutrition, physical activity and genetics. People cannot change their genes, so they must focus in on the two other areas to make an impact, he said.

In the area of nutrition, Fogle recommended things like replacing an unhealthy snack or snack time with something healthy. Being prepared is a big factor, he said.

“People on the go often eat unhealthy because of its convenience,” Fogle said. “When focusing on your diet or your physical activity, it is important to think long-term with a lifestyle change that can be maintained.”

For people to learn more about symptoms and risk factors of diabetes, Rawlings said the American Diabetes Association has a great website explaining diabetes, how to prevent it and how to manage it. Also, your local doctor can use a simple blood test to determine if someone has diabetes or is at higher risk for developing diabetes. Most importantly, doctors can help people lower their risk of developing diabetes, or if they are diabetic, help people control their diabetes, she said.

From the editor’s desk I hope you had the opportunity to attend one of the many Veterans Day ceremonies in and around Bureau County. I’m always so impressed with these events, especially the ones held at local schools throughout the area.

I know there are mixed emotions about whether schools should close their doors on this important holiday, but I think I have to agree with the concept of children being in attendance at school and participating in a Veterans Day ceremony at their respective buildings. If you’ve ever Terri attended one of these school proSimon grams, you’ll know what I mean. Our area schools put a lot of effort into their Veterans Day ceremonies, and the impact they deliver will surely influence area students in a positive manner.

If you didn’t have an opportunity to attend a Veterans Day ceremony, it’s never too late to thank a veteran for their service. In fact, it’s probably something we should make a habit of doing every day.

••• I hope everyone enjoyed Saturday’s Christmas in the Valley event. It was a great activity, and the weather cooperated. While it’s difficult to believe we are already gearing up for the holiday season, I encourage you to attend the many local holiday events in Bureau County.

This coming weekend, the third annual Celebrate Sheffield kicks off on Saturday. It will be a full day, filled with all kinds of holiday specials, treats and seasonal events. I hope you’ll come out and visit me at the Sheffield Public Library between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., where I’ll be signing my new book, “Grandma’s Cookie Jar.” There will also be a book sale and refreshments.

And while you’re in town, I hope you’ll take advantage of all the fun, food and festivities!

If your village/town is planning a special event revolving around the holidays, make sure you let us know about it, so we can let your friends and neighbors know about it too. You can email your information to news@bcrnews.com.

••• Speaking of the holidays, it won’t be long before we’ll be up to our elbows in holiday preparations. From your fragrant roast turkey to all the side dishes to that scrumptious dessert, the BCR would like to help you add some new recipes to your holiday recipe box.

The BCR will again publish its “A Homemade Holiday,” filled with recipes from you — our readers.

It’s really easy to participate. Without using any abbreviations, type or print out your favorite holiday recipe(s). Make sure the directions to the recipe are complete and easy to understand. Include your first and last name, your hometown, your email and telephone number.

(Your telephone and email will not be published.)

You can submit your recipe via a variety of venues: By email at news@bcrnews.com; by using our online form at www.bcrnews.com/ forms/recipe; mailing it to us at P.O. Box 340, Princeton, IL 61356; or dropping it off at our office at 800 Ace Road, Princeton. The BCR has an after-hours drop box at the rear of our building, where you can also deposit your recipe if our office is not open.

If you get your recipe(s) to us by 5 p.m. on Nov. 22, we’ll enter your name in a drawing for a $100 holiday baking basket filled with tons of goodies to help you with your holiday baking.

The final deadline to submit a recipe is 5 p.m.

Nov. 27. Absolutely no recipes will be accepted after that date. You’ll receive your “A Homemade Holiday” section in your newspaper on Dec. 14. Happy Baking!

On the street

What is your opinion of the Affordable Health Care Plan, otherwise known as Obamacare?

“They are having so many problems getting it started out the gate.

What will it be like when it’s actually running? It’s failed before it started.”

Jennifer Flesher, Princeton

“I don’t think it’s going to work because we don’t have enough money or doctors to support it.

They are heading toward socialized health care.”

Sarah Krogulski, Spring Valley

“I think it’s not as affordable as it was promised.

The idea of health care for all is a noble cause, but I think it was rolled out too fast. We could have done better.”

Angela Mehlbrech, Princeton

“Honestly I don’t know enough about it to have an opinion. I find it hard to get answers and the website is slow.”

Mike Davenport, Granville

“I haven’t really learned enough about it to form an opinion one way or another.”

Tari Sangston, Spring Valley

TO Letter THE Editor

A gift to everyone, and it is free To the Editor, It might be free to us because someone paid the price for it, and what an awesome price it was!

He gave his life, so we wouldn’t have to pay for it. That free gift is repentance. If he hadn’t made that sacrifice, none of us would have a very bright future. I know for sure I wouldn’t. Don’t think for a minute that you can put something over on God for He knows everything we do and has it all written down.

You might think surely a pastor wouldn’t

need to repent; they may need it more than you do. When I do something wrong I alone am responsible for it, but when a pastor misleads his congregation, he not hurts only himself but everyone in the congregation. When you are taught the false traditions of men like Good Friday and pagan Easter. If you have studied your Bible, you should know that this is false teaching. Your Bible tells us that the word Easter is a mistake on the part of the translator, and the correct word is Passover. Pastors will not tell you

Thought for the day: “Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.” Dodie Smith.

Thought for tomorrow: “The greatest weakness of all weaknesses is to fear too much to appear weak.” Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet.

••• Congratulations to the Hall Red Devils football team on their first playoff appearance in six years.

While the Red Devils bowed out in the second round of the 2A playoffs to the Momence Redskins, our Hall Red Devils finished the season with a 7-4 record. Congratulations!

••• Just a reminder: The BCR will have early deadlines for the newspaper and Bureau County Journal for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. If you are an advertiser, please see your multi-media consultant for more information. Deadlines for classified ads are also early.

Of course, the BCR will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, so our staff can celebrate this special holiday with their families. We will reopen again on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

••• Just for fun ... Workplace humor!

• Jim walks into his boss’ office. “Sir, I’ll be straight with you, I know the economy isn’t great,

this, but you can read it for yourself. The Moffitt translation has it right; he didn’t use the word Easter, he used the correct word Passover. Most of the translators used the word Easter, but they all tell you that the correct word is Passover. Do we believe man or God? Man will deceive you, but God never will. The choice is yours.

If your pastor tells you that you should repent, ask him or her to read Matthew 7:5 which says first cast out the beam of thine own eye; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in

your brother’s eye. It is easy to see the faults of others, but sometimes it is hard to see our own.

If you attend church, you most likely give money to the church.

If you do, you become a partaker of that false teaching. 1 Peter 4:17 states that judgment must first begin at the house of God. What kind of judgment are we expecting? There are a few churches out there that teach only God’s word and not the false traditions of men; that is what we all should be searching for.

Bob Emmett Kasbeer

but I have over three companies after me, and I would like to respectfully ask for a raise.” After a few minutes of haggling, the boss finally agrees to a 5 percent raise, and Jim happily gets up to leave.

“By the way,” the boss asks as Jim gets up to leave, “Which three companies are after you?”

“The electric company, water company and phone company,” Jim replied.

• The boss of a small company was complaining during a staff meeting that people didn’t respect him enough. Trying to change the attitude in the office, he came in the next day with a sign for his door. It said, “I am the boss.”

One of the employees apparently not appreciating the change posted a Post-it Note on the sign. It said, “Your wife wants her sign back.”

••• We’re all crazy busy at this time of the year. It seems like we cross one thing off that perpetual list, only to add two or more things onto it. My suggestion would be to include on your list of things to do, to write down “Take time for me.”

And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR. BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

Butler in Annie Get Your Gun and playing the Pharaoh in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

He also directed the Festival productions of “Oklahoma” and “The Sound of Music.”

Area scouts offer assistance LAMOILLE — LaMoille Cub Scout Pack 4059 and Cherry Boy Scout Troop 1055 went to Greg Fischer’s farm and picked and bagged potatoes on Sept.

Fischer, a LaMoille farmer, offered to give fresh potatoes to the local food pantries if he could get the manpower (or in this case the boy power) to dig them and bag them to give them away. One of the Boy Scout parents heard about his offer and asked both the Cherry Boy Scout Troop and the LaMoille Cub Scout Pack if they would like to earn service hours to assist with this generous donation.

After picking and bagging for about four hours, they had picked and bagged 4,980 pounds of potatoes that were delivered to the Hall Food Pan-

Hall’s Baldonado runs down All-State honors

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

PEORIA — Al Baldonado knew he was close and didn’t want to leave anything on the table.

The Hall junior harrier passed up a host of runners in the final homestretch to run down All-State honors, finishing 17th with a time of 15 minutes, 38 seconds. The top 25 received All-State recognition.

“I just knew I had to go if I wanted to be All-State.

So I gave it everything I had and made up a few places,” he said. “I felt like I gradually picked it up. It wasn’t like a sprint, just keep picking it up every few hundred meters and passing me.

“I was going to pass as many people as possibly.

Just knowing I was on the brink of medaling, gave me more motivation to give it my all.”

Hall coach Tom Keegan said Baldonado started his All-State push from about a mile out.

“He had an incredible last mile,” Keegan said.

“After the second mile he was buried in the deep 30s for placement and wound up in 17th, so he did some serious work in the latter part of the race.”

Baldonado becomes the sixth Hall boy to claim All-State individuals and brings home the ninth state medal in program history for the boys team. His 17th-place is the sixth highest finish.

Jon Davis, a sophomore from Fithian Oakwood, was the state champion with a time of 14:47, six seconds ahead of runner-up Nick Hess, a senior from Cham-

Laura Sickley Senior guard

PERU — Despite graduating four seniors from last year’s team which reached the Somonauk Sectional championship, the St. Bede Lady Bruins will look to reload with a core group of seniors returning who saw significant playing time.

According to coach Tom McGunnigal (346-102 in 15

years), the senior captains have taken a real lead in replacing the leadership Whitley Funfsinn, Lydia Stariha, Morgan Dean and Haley Dzierzyski showed.

Stariha has taken her basketball talents to Grinnell College while Dean is playing at Sauk Valley.

Returning for the Lady Bruins are seniors Laura Sickley, Lexie Miranda, Sophie Carus, Raley Mauck

and Kelsey Thompson.

“Laura had a great summer and is continuing to guide our offense and our team intensity early on,” said McGunnigal of his point guard. “She is a leader by example and will become vocal for us as the season progresses.

“We will be looking for shooters and people who can guard as we go forward, that was one of the biggest things

McGunnigal is expecting junior guard Holly Gregorich and sophomore post Hanna Bima to contribute to the Lady Bruins effort.

A seven-year itch

From Page 11 sions later when Venegas connected with Aimone, who outraced the Momence secondary on his 54-yard TD romp.

“We knew if they are going to help over the top, he was going to beat that kid. We couldn’t get that matchup again the rest of game,” Tieman said.

Momence broke through the line on the Hall conversion attempt and may have got a hand on the kick, which went low and to the left.

“It looked like somebody got through,” Tieman said.

Then some strategy paid off for Hall.

On the suggestion of assistant coach Ryan Ferrari, Hall elected to allow Momence to score an uncontested touchdown with Geno Wendes having the honors from 27 yards out. Had they not done so, Momence could have picked up the first down and ran the clock out.

“We had to let them score to get the ball back.

That was the only thing we could do. Coach Ferrari yelled it out, and we all agreed to it,” Tieman said.

The move caught Momence completely by surprise, “I was really surprised they let us score,” Hall quarterback Taggart Venegas winds up for a pass against Momence Saturday. He passed for 221 yards and two touchdowns.

SPRING VALLEY — Hall hosted its first home playoff games in seven years Saturday. It seemed like old times as the crown at Nesti Stadium scratched a sevenyear itch.

The aroma of pork chop sandwiches filled the stadium.

The Hall stands were packed with fans dressed in red and white while others lined the fence at the end of each end zone.

Hall students rattled the fence railing of the student section and shook their thunder sticks.

The fans were riding the officials about the calls that didn’t go the Red Devils way.

Head coach Randy Tieman laughed when he was told the fans were all over the officials for a defensive pass interference that wasn’t called at the end of game.

“That’s Spring Valley.

They’re passionate about the Hall Red Devil football team,” he said.

They would like to do this again next year and the year after. That’s

BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus

Playoff football returned to Nesti Stadium for the first time in seven years, much to the delight of the Hall Red Devil faithful. what Spring Valley is all about.

Back on the map: The Hall senior class had come through with much hype after going 17-1 at the underclass level. They took a detour with a tough road as juniors with a 1-8 record and they lost some class members along the way.

The seniors who stuck it out this year helped put Hall Red Devil back on the map with their first playoff appearance in six years and first playoff win

in seven years.

On the mend: Hall junior Tyler Taber made one rushing attempt and took a hard hit, knocking him from the game.

He laid on his stomach along the sidelines, barely off the playing field.

He was examined and soon taken to the hospital by an ambulance crew.

Tieman said Sunday afternoon that Taber sustained some internal bruising, but was home.

Hall’s A.J. Gaeta grabs Momence’s Gino Wendes in third-quarter play Saturday at Nesti Stadium.

Momence coach Matt Fox said. “That’s a (gutsy) move. It almost paid off. If we get a first down there and take a knee, they don’t get a chance. At least they got a chance. I tip my hat to him. I don’t know if I could have done that.”

Momence kicker Jon Salazar gave the Red Devils a break when he was flagged for taunting the Hall student section following his PAT kick.

With the 15-yard penalty, Momence was forced to kick off from their own 25 rather than 40.

That extra boost almost made the difference as Hall drove 24 yards to the Momence, but stalled out when Venegas was sacked on fourth down to

take over on downs.

“I thought Spring Valley Hall had really good energy early in the game, and we didn’t do a good job matching that and a made a few mistakes the first half. I think a lot of that you can attribute to the way Spring Valley was playing,” Fox said “We were able to put a couple things together second half. Honestly our defense and kicking game kept us in the game. Kept the score close and we were able to sneak a score in their and get an extra point.”

Momence took a 7-0 lead with 1:50 left in the first quarter on a 36-yard romp by Fulwiley.

Volleyball roundup

L-P, Fieldcrest earn state trips

By BCR Sports Staff sports@bcrnews.com

The postseason beat goes on for two area volleyball teams.

LaSalle-Peru and Fieldcrest both captured Super-Sectional crowns Saturday to advance to the IHSA State Finals at Redbird Arena in Normal this weekend.

At Washington (3A): The Lady Cavs rallied to top Champaign Centennial 16-25, 25-23, 25-21, to take the Super-Sectional crown in 3A. The Lady Cavs (34-3) advance to the state finals for the first time since placing fourth in 1990.

They will face Chicago Payton in the 3A semifinals at 4:30 p.m. Friday in Normal. Payton defeated Woodstock Marian 25-23, 22-25, 25-21 to win the Antioch Super-Sectional.

Setter Katie Olson tallied 31 assists, eight digs and nine points for L-P. Shana Puetz had a near tripledouble with 11 points, 11 digs and nine kills.

Centennial coach Stan Bergman said his Chargers just couldn’t quite keep things going after their opening 25-16 first

“We couldn’t have put together a better set.

We made them play our way,” Bergman told the Champaign Gazette. “I don’t know if we took it for granted or LaSalle stepped up their game and did what they needed to work their way back into the match. We were right there. One less missed serve or one less something else and we could have been done and out of there in two sets.”

Friday’s late 3A semifinal pits Breese Central vs. Wheaton St. Francis at 6 p.m.

Three Rivers Conference North Division champion Sterling Newman continued its playoff push with a 35-12 win over top-seeded Eastland-Pearl City.

Jake Snow led Newman with 199 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

The news was not as good for Three Rivers South Division champ Rockridge, who fell 26-20 in double overtime to the Lincoln Trail

Lady Bruins

From Page 11 “We aren’t planning on changing too much from what has been working in the past. We’ll put the girls into the spots and let them be athletes and players and let this team make their identity,” said McGunnigal. “We want to play good defense, first and foremost, and hopefully from there we will create some offense. I think we may be a surprise to some people with how good we can actually be.”

Early season strengths for the Lady Bruins are their ability to get along real well as a group by supporting each other and not caring who gets the credit along with some players who have some good basketball sense that McGunnigal believes will help his team go far.

The Lady Bruins will forge into the new Three Rivers Conference in the South Division with Kewanee, Princeton, Hall, Orion, Sherrard and Rockridge.

McGunnigal knows historically the likes of Orion, Sherrard and Rockridge have played some good ball but the challenges are his team will take each game and each day as a challenge to improve themselves and try to play the best basketball at the end of the season like last year.

The Lady Bruins will open the season at the Brimfield Tournament by playing LeRoy (Nov. 22),

Conference’s Aledo Mercer County in front of a crowd of 2,500 filling the hillsides in Aledo.

Mercer County scored on Spencer Wood’s one-yard touchdown in the second overtime and made a defensive stop to stun the top-ranked Rockets.

Standards Link: Investigation: Find similarities and differences in common objects.

oys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles, collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children.

The idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. That fall, Diane handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll and asked Bill to deliver the doll to an organization which would give it to a needy child at Christmas. When Bill determined that no such agency existed, Diane told Bill that he should start one.

e did. Toys for Tots was so successful that the U.S. Marine Corps adopted it in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign. That year, Marine Corps Reserve units across the nation conducted Toys for Tots campaigns in every community in which a Marine Reserve Center was located. The Marines have conducted toy drives each year since then.

Below each gift is a list of words that are similar to the name of the person the gift is for. Can you figure out who should receive each gift? Write one of these names on each tag: Robin, Faith, Rose, Ruby or April.

Standards Link: Mathematical Reasoning: Group objects by common attributes.
