Only the memories remain ...

Popular Arlington establishment reduced to rubble

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

ARLINGTON — An Arlington icon that stood on the corner of Route 89 and Main Street was torn down Sunday afternoon.

The 115-year-old dilapidated structure was beyond repair, and the village board was forced to have its current owner, Mike Hermosillo of Washburn, demolish the building.

This came as sad news to many who remember the establishment as being home of the former Barney & Nuco’s Bar and Supper Club, which was in business from 1975 to 1995.

The club was owned by Barney Wamhoff of LaMoille and Lawrence “Nuco” Fonderoli of Arlington.

People came from all areas including Dixon, Mendota, Rochelle, Princeton, LaSalle and further for the great food, service and camaraderie.

Fonderoli’s daughter, Lynne Bonnell of Arlington, can still remember working part time as a hostess in her father’s thriving business. In fact, her whole family helped keep the business alive. Bonnell’s husband

A ‘super’ silhouette Dubbed the “supermoon,” November’s full moon which occurred Monday, Nov. 14, is the closest the moon has been to Earth since 1948, though it’s only 2 percent closer (41 miles) than in was in March 2011. The next “supermoon” will take place in 2034. The silhouette of the statue at Soldiers and Sailors Park in Princeton was taken in front of that supermoon. See more supermoon photos on Page 2.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

BUDA — Jessica Pogliano didn’t know she was having twins until she was halfway into her pregnancy.

The news came as a shock to the young Buda mother when the ultrasound technician at her 20-week check-up discovered two heartbeats.

Feeling a little overwhelmed, she was sent home to soak in her new reality, but found herself back at the hos-

It’s a simple mission that includes a ton of work.

It’s a simple mission that involves hundreds of children, yet their smiles on Christmas morning is the motivation for the effort.

It’s a simple mission, and your help is needed.

For the third consecutive year, the Princeton Wesleyan Church is spearheading the Christmas for Kids event, a holiday toy drive that ensures less fortunate children will have gifts under their Christmas trees on Christmas morning.

The annual toy drive officially begins Friday, Nov. 18, when the large boxes bearing the Christmas for Kids logo will be in place and ready for area citizens to deposit new, unwrapped toys for distribution to families before Christmas.

“As of right now, we already have 85 families who have been referred to us from the school systems,” said Princeton Wesleyan Pastor Doug Kirkpatrick, adding he expects a bigger need this year than the past two years in which the church has been involved. He said he learned there’s a 40 percent increase in families who qualify for free or reduced lunches at Princeton Elementary — a barometer of the economic impact and the increase in need.

Kirkpatrick said the church receives its list of names referred by the local school systems. If there are people out there who need help with Christmas gifts and their children are not yet of school age, he suggested they call Marcia Caldwell at the Bright Beginnings program at Douglas Grade School in Princeton.

was the bartender on weekends, and her children helped clean the bar after hours.

Members of the Wamhoff family also spent their share of time working the kitchen, waitressing, serving and doing whatever else needed to be done to help keep the business going on those long, busy nights.

Many still remember the 99 cent Wednesday night fried chicken special. Bonnell said on a good summer night, the restaurant would serve 600 orders of chicken.

“It’s was almost like Rips,” she laughed.

The bar also made the popular ice cream drinks using Sisler’s Ice Cream and mixing them by hand.

“We hosted lots of family parties, Euchre and marble tournaments. My dad was a true socializer, and that was the key to his successful business,” Bonnell said.

When Wamhoff retired from the business, Fonderoli’s sister-in-law Dolores “Tootie” Fonderoli helped run the kitchen, while Nuco managed the bar.

The place stayed a bar and supper club when Nuco retired from the business in 1995 and sold the building to Hermosillo.

He leased the space out to various supper clubs throughout the years. The last restau-

rant in the building was the BC Club, which was in business until 2002. Since then the building has sat empty.

Before it was Barney & Nuco’s, the building was owned by Jay Thompson and was Jay’s Supper Club in the ‘60s. Thompson was actually Tootie Fonderoli’s father. In the ‘50s, the dining room portion of the building was a grocery store.

While it’s unclear what was in the building during the ‘30s and ‘40s, it was built in 1901 as the Arlington State Bank, which operated until March 4, 1927.

As it was being torn down Sunday, many stopped to watch as the walls came down one at a time. Bonnell said people were taking photos and picking-up bricks to take as mementos.

“Many of them remembered going there and partying there. There were a lot of good times spent there,” she said.

The decorative support posts on the front of the building were moved to the location when the Arlington Train Depot was demolished. They were rescued again before the building was torn down on Sunday. One will be going to the LaMoille Train Depot, which is being restored, and other will go to Sammy’s Place, across the street in Arlington.

pital shortly after with symptoms of early labor.

During the next 12 weeks, she spent her time on mandatory bed rest both at home and in the hospital, and at appointments with high-risk pregnancy doctors as they tried everything they could to prevent labor from happening. Doctors try to keep babies in the womb until at least 37 weeks. Any baby born before is considered premature.

At 32 weeks, Pogliano started showing signs of active labor and upon arriving at the KSB Hospital, Dixon, she was told there was no stopping her contractions.

Because of her high-risk pregnancy and the breech position of one of her babies, doctors wanted to Life-Flight her to OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, but the mid-February snowy weather posed dangerous flying conditions. Plan B was to send two surgical teams from Rockford Memorial to assist with the C-Section delivery at KSB. On Feb. 20, 2014, Pogliano gave birth eight weeks early to identical twin girls — Kinley and Teegan. One baby was born 4 pounds, 7 ounces, and the other was 4 pounds, 1 ounce.

Kinley’s condition was unstable , and doctors had to administer medication immediately to help open her airway.

Pogliano only got to hold one of her babies for mere seconds before the surgical team rushed them by ambulance to Rockford’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Pogliano had to stay behind in Dixon and recover.

“It’s a horrible feeling to be away from your babies,” she said.

While three days is the standard recovery hospital time for mothers undergoing a C-section, Pogliano’s urgency to get to her new baby girls who were in intensive care nearly an hour away was enough to let doctors sign her release two days early.

Kinley and Teegan spent 11 days in the NICU ward where a team took close watch and care over the small babies. Both babies had dropped down to 3 pounds and 13 ounces and had to have feeding tubes placed in their nose to help keep them alive.

While the care for both babies was outstanding, Pogliano said the only thing on her mind was getting them to a point where she could take them home.

“I just knew I had to get them home. I had to get them to where they could be with me, and I could wake up in the night and hold them when they were crying,” she said.

Following the time in Rockford, the babies were transported to Dixon, where they had to stay another week before Pogliano and her boyfriend, Andrew Munson, could take their girls home.

Now two and one-half years later, both Teegan and Kinley are happy, strong, healthy toddlers almost ready for preschool. But Pogliano never wants to forget the experience endured during those days in the hospital.

“We don’t forget the experience they had in the NICU,” she said. “The doctor said they can be behind in school and in their developments, and I just want them to remember it’s OK to struggle because they were premature … The preemie babies are the strongest babies you’ll ever meet.”

Today, Pogliano shares her story on social media to help connect with other moms going through the similar experiences with her preemie babies.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month, which helps bring awareness to this serious health crisis. According to the March the Dimes, premature birth is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 worldwide. Babies born too early may have more health issues than babies born on time, and may face long-term health problems that affect the brain, lungs, hearing or vision.

Throughout the month, and especially on Nov. 17, which is World Prematurity Day, the March of Dimes draws attention to the lifesaving research, treatments and community support made possible when people work together to give babies a fighting change.

To help spread the awareness, people all over are encouraged to share stories and post news and photos on social media with the hashtags #givethemtomorrow and #worldprematurityday.

November 14-20 is “Get Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work” week

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese It’s scary to think you could be infected with a bacteria that can’t be treated with medication. Because too many patients receive antibiotics for conditions that don’t warrant it, some types of bacteria are developing stronger strains that are resistant to antibiotics.

The key is to not use antibiotics unless it’s absolutely necessary, and just for certain afflictions. The more antibiotics that are used, the more the bacteria will mutate to survive and become more difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate. Antibiotics can only help if a patient has a bacterial infection like strep throat; they are ineffective against viral infections, such as a cold or flu.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) establishes a week in November each year to raise awareness among doctors and other medical staff, and among the general public, of the threat of antibiotic resistance. It stresses the importance of prescribing antibiotics only when absolutely necessary.

The misuse and overprescribing of antibiotics is becoming a widespread

problem in the U.S., according to the CDC. The “Get Smart” program focuses on the most widespread illnesses for which most of the antibiotic prescriptions are written.

Antibiotic-resistant infections affect 2 million people annually in the U.S., with 1% leading to a fatal result. Even more people die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibioticresistant infection. It’s estimated that up to half of all antibiotics prescribed are not needed, or won’t be effective as prescribed.

Antibiotics have been very useful for the past 75 years, reducing illness and death from infectious diseases.

But they’ve been used too widely, and for so long, that they’re becoming less effective.

Preventing disease is imperative; by washing hands regularly, staying up-to-date with vaccines, preventing transmission of STDs, drinking safe water, and avoiding food-borne illnesses, you can reduce your need for antibiotics.

through age 14.

Once all the referrals are completed through the area school systems, the church sends out a letter to those families, inviting them to the shopping event at the church, set for Dec. 10. Kirkpatrick expects those letters to go out before Thanksgiving, and he asks parents to be patient and not call the church to inquire. Ultimately though, if a parent does not receive a letter, that means the referral from the school was not made.

The letter will indicate how many children are in the family, the ages of the children and the invitation to shop on Dec. 10. The letter will be the entrance ticket into the event. Once families get to the church on Dec. 10, each family will get a ticket with a number on it. A corresponding number will be placed in a lottery drawing, and numbers will be pulled out at random, giving the family entrance into the toy store at the church. Families will be assigned an escort to work with them while they shop. Doors will open at 8 a.m.

Since Christmas presents represent the element of surprise, children are not allowed at the event — only adults, parents/grandparents/ guardians. Parents will get to choose the gifts best suited for their child(ren). The number of gifts depends on the generosity of givers. All

gifts will be placed in a bag, so adults can get the presents into the house without anxious little eyes seeing the surprises.

Christmas movies and refreshments in the church sanctuary will help pass the time for those adults waiting to shop.

Kirkpatrick said any and all gifts — big and small — are welcome.

“I just want people to let their hearts be their guide,” Kirkpatrick said.

“If they can donate a toy, that’s great. If they’re not sure of what to get or how much to give, they can go into the (Heartland) bank (and make a monetary donation) or mail a check into the church. I have a concern about the amount of children who might not have a merry Christmas this year.”

The toy drives serves children in Princeton, LaMoille, Malden, Ohio, Neponset, Wyanet, Sheffield, Buda and Manlius.

All other towns are served by other programs in the county.

Kirkpatrick stressed this is not a Wesleyan Church project, rather an entire community endeavor.

He said 50 to 60 people are needed to pull off the event, and in the past, folks from other churches and organizations have been quick to pitch in, including the Princeton Police Department and the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department, which picks up toys from the boxes located around the county.

Would I be proud of me?

Once upon a time I was a kid who loved reading, writing, school, and my family and friends. At times, around those I didn’t know, I was painfully shy. That changed quickly once I really got to know someone — then I would talk incessantly. I tried to always be nice to othShannon ers, and above everySerpette thing else, I hated to get in trouble at COMMENTARY school.

I had big dreams for the future by the time I was in middle school. I was going to be a rich, famous novelist, own a green Jeep, date lots of different guys before I settled down, and live in a beach house or a huge, elegant mansion with my younger sister or some close friends. I was going to have a fabulous wardrobe and an active, exciting lifestyle. My life was basically going to be like a non-stop Barbie commercial, and it was going to be awesome.

Flash forward 30 fast years later. How close did I come to achieving my childhood dreams? My life is a completely different world than I dreamed it would be.

I started dating my future husband when I was 23, which didn’t leave a lot of time for that active dating life I had imagined I would have once I was done with school. I’ve never owned a green Jeep, or any Jeep for that matter. I’ve never stepped foot in a beach house, and no one would ever mistake my house for a mansion.

The out-of-this-world wardrobe I thought I would have hasn’t materialized either. I’m happy if I have something clean to wear most days, and many of my outfits are decidedly too boring for Barbie. I wear a lot of muted colors like gray, black and brown — colors that are acceptable in the workplace.

I still struggle with the active lifestyle goal most days, but I’m not a total failure in that department.

Despite my desk job, which can take a major toll on a person’s fitness level, I ran a half marathon earlier this year and still play tennis in addition to my regular runs.

But I’ve done some things young Shannon from 30 years ago would love and even be amazed by.

I have close relationships with my brothers and sisters, even if I don’t live with any of them. I have great friends, and best of all, I have my husband and two wonderful children who make me proud and happy every day.

I may not be a rich, famous novelist. But my younger self would be over-the-moon excited to know she would turn out to be a writer. It’s how I’ve made my living for almost 20 years, and my work has appeared in newspapers, magazines and websites during that time. The younger me wouldn’t have even known what a website was, but she would be thrilled to know that her work could be read around the world because of it.

As for that novel, I wrote it five years ago, and it’s been sent out to less than five agents since then.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what my young dreams were, and a book was always at the top of the list — I wanted to hold it in my hands and see my name on the cover.

Here’s the thing about childhood dreams: While your priorities shift, the superficial dreams, like a great wardrobe, fade away, but the important ones never really die. They might get buried, but they never really go away. Some part of you remembers and yearns for it, even if it’s just a little, even if it’s subconsciously.

I’m not ready to give up on my childhood dream of being a novelist just yet. I feel like I owe it to my younger self to give that novel a real try. In the past month, I’ve been working on my new query letter, so I can send it out to more agents. I don’t know what will happen, but that’s kind of the point to a childhood dream. It may seem big, uncertain and out of reach, but that’s what makes it worth attempting.

So what would the kid I once was think of the person I’ve become? Her life may not have unfolded exactly as she had hoped, but in many ways, it turned out better than she ever dreamed. I think she would love where she landed.

TO LettersTHE Editor

The Book To the Editor, It has been said there is a divine splendor to the Father and to Jesus Christ. I would add that there is a divine splendor to His Word. Who wouldn’t want to read the greatest book ever written ... the best selling book in all history ... the first book printed on Gutenberg’s 1455 invention the printing press ... a book filled with true and exciting stories for all ages ... a book that has inspired thousands of psalms, hymns, and poems ... a book used as a benchmark by which all other books can be measured ... a book that has been translated in over 554 languages, and 2,932 languages have at least some portion of the Bible ... a book of miracles ... a book of hundreds of fulfilled prophecies (44 messianic prophecies were fulfilled in the first coming of Jesus) ... a book also known as “The Good Book?”

“The Holy Scriptures,” The Sacred Writings,” “The Book” ... and “The Holy Bible.”

Ah, a beautiful book. The Bible is a book in a class all its own. When understood it is a life-changing book.

Augustine said, “That the Word of God had enough in it that is easy to nourish the meanest (low in rank or birth) to life eternal but enough, also, to demand the industry and humility of the greatest scholars.”

The Bible is the written Word of God, with its glorious message of creation, redemption and eternal life; it is the most remarkable piece of literature that has ever graced the hands of humanity. The Bible is a library of 66 books harmoniously revolving together

around a single theme: salvation through Jesus Christ.

The Bible is bread and nourishment to the soul as food is to the body.

After a study of over 3,000 documents over a 10-year period, it was the one book found to be the most quoted by our founding fathers, who by the way, also established “The American Bible Society.” It was this book and the principles within on which our founding father’s established our constitution and the laws of our land. It was this book that gave us our morals and principles and stability we enjoyed as a nation before their removal from our public schools.

The Bible places the highest value on the family.

Husbands are to love, honor and protect their wives.

Wives are to respect their husbands. And I believe that for the most part they would if husbands were faithful to their responsibility before God. This provides a safe and healthy environment for their children and is the foundation for a strong and healthy nation.

This book is brutally honest when it comes to man’s sinful nature. This book gives strong warnings. It condemns fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lust, greed, hate, corrupt government, blatant and rebellious sin, but offers love, grace, mercy and forgiveness to those willing to receive it. For the glory of God and for our children’s sake, let’s stand once again on the principles found in “The Book.”

Ted Roberts Princeton

‘Pull the plug’ To the Editor, As the election season passes and political signs are taken down, there are some signs that will remain up.

Some may be rather tattered as they have weathered for over four years, and some will be replacements as the issue they wish to draw attention to drags on.

The signs say Block RICL and contain slogans such as “Save Our Farm Land”and “Stop Eminent Domain Abuse.” They represent a five-year fight that has seen citizens’ request ICC public, forums, an Illinois Commerce Commission decision over-turned unanimously by the Appellate Court, and now a possible Supreme Court battle. I wish I could say the proposed DC mega transmission project proposed by “Clean” Line Energy Partners (CLEP) was dead, but it lingers on.

Multiple states oppose the private group of investors’ plans to take 200-foot easements across hundreds of miles of productive rich farmland. CLEP has had investors come and go, but they still claim their plan to move electricity from wind rich states in the west to energy hungry lucrative East Coast markets is viable. In the last year, they dropped the facade of being

all about “clean” wind energy. As they scramble to attempt to win support against Arkansas’ opposition, they are now claiming their long haul transmission lines will save Arkansas coal-powered power plants.

With the political shifts occurring, I wonder how else their story will change as the renewable energy portfolio standards and the federal subsidies for wind are re-evaluated. I am hoping the millions CLEP has spent lobbying at the federal level has been wasted.

Technology for renewable clean energy is evolving and with energy efficiency methods and a movement toward solar and wind energy being harnessed and used near where there is demand, instead of being inefficiently long hauled, it only makes sense CLEP’s money-making scheme is looking less attractive to investors. The existing utilities have said all along there is no need, and CLEP never took into consideration existing electricity infrastructure. I urge people to continue the fights against eminent domain abuse and pull the plug on RICL. Susan Sack Mendota

Just since 2006-07, IVCC’s dual credit program with district high schools has saved students more than $2.3 million and a new provision within the program is having a dramatic impact on low-income students’ ability to take the courses.

About 1,000 high school students enroll in dual credit courses at a reduced tuition rate each year.

Through 2013-14, students were charged just 50 percent the going tuition rate with no fees other than a $5 registration fee. In 201415, the rate increased to 60 percent and to 75 percent in 2015-16.

Over the past decade, dual credit/dual enrollment has generated more than 66,000 credit hours resulting in over $2.8 million in tuition including more than $900,000 in just the past two years combined.

The program accounts for about 6.7 percent of IVCC’s

said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran.

Marquette has taken full advantage of the program and each year up to a half dozen of its seniors graduate with both a diploma from Marquette and an associate degree from IVCC, saving two costly years at a university. In all, 17 of the 21 public and private high schools in the district participate.

Students also save on their textbooks since the majority are available on a rental basis from IVCC’s bookstore or through their high schools, said dual credit/dual enrollment coordinator Susan Monroe.

Courses are taught by IVCC and qualified high school instructors and each class grade becomes part of the student’s college transcript.

Dual credit students take class during regular high school hours and get both high school and IVCC credit. Dual enrolled students take classes at their school before or after school and earn only college credit.

Perry Memorial Hospital to mark National Rural Health Day PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton will join the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and other state/national rural stakeholders in celebrating National Rural Health Day on Thursday, Nov. 17.

NOSORH created National Rural Health Day as a way to showcase rural America and increase awareness of rural health-related issues. National Rural Health Day is celebrated on the third Thursday of each November. In support of this recognition, iVantage Health Analytics developed a data-driven program designed to identify excellence across a broad spectrum of indicators relevant to hospital performance and patient care. NOSORH and iVantage recognized Illinois as having 52 hospitals reach top quartile performance status in Quality, Outcomes, Patient Satisfaction, and Financial Strength compared to all other rural hospitals in the nation.

The rankings were designated by the Hospital Strength INDEX-TM, the assessment of hospital performance in the country to include all rural hospitals. Perry Memorial Hospital was identified as one of 18 Illinois Critical Access Hospitals winning for “Excellence in Quality.”

According to NOSORH, approximately 62 million people – nearly one in five Americans – live in rural and frontier communities throughout the United States.

“These small towns, farming communities and frontier areas are wonderful places to live and work; they are places

where neighbors know each other and work together,” said NOSORH Director Teryl Eisinger. These communities also face unique healthcare needs.

“Today more than ever, rural communities must tackle accessibility issues, a lack of healthcare providers, the needs of an aging population suffering from a greater number of chronic conditions, and larger percentages of un- and underinsured citizens,” Eisinger said. “Meanwhile, rural hospitals are threatened with declining reimbursement rates and disproportionate funding levels that makes it challenging to serve their residents.”

Annette Schnabel, president and CEO of Perry Memorial Hospital, stated, “Rural hospitals like Perry Memorial are perhaps the most critical resource utilized by the community to meet their healthcare needs. Rural hospitals typically serve as the health and human service “hub” of their communities, offering residents an array of services and providers in one location. They are also frequently one of the largest, if not the largest, employers in the community – meaning the financial stability of a small rural hospital also has a tremendous impact on a community’s economic health.”

Perry Memorial Hospital is the third largest employer in Princeton.

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigresses are off to another good start in their own Holiday Tournament.

The Tigresses improved to 2-0, defeating Streator 51-45 Tuesday at Prouty Gym. They will face Putnam County at 8 p.m.

Thursday looking to make a return to the championship game Saturday.

“We’re very happy with 2-0 and now we’re looking forward to Thursday, one game at a time,” said firstyear PHS coach Tiffany Gonigam.

In other Tuesday action, LaMoille/Ohio routed Henry/Lowpoint-Washburn 59-8 in the opener to improve to 1-1 and PC downed Midland 50-14 in the nightcap.

Thursday’s lineup includes Bureau Valley (1-0) vs. Stark County (1-0) at 5 p.m. in the White Pool and Midland (0-2) vs. Streator (0-1) at 6:30 p.m. in the Blue Pool.

MANLIUS — There are many young faces that dot the roster for the Bureau Valley Storm this basketball season, but they can’t be described as fresh.

Bureau Valley’s youth may be perceived as a detriment to some; but the Storm will be much more disciplined for such a young squad because most of the keys players returning have already clocked numerous varsity minutes.

Those not so fresh faces figure to play key roles as the Storm only dress two seniors in Matt Paup-Caudill and Jay Edlefson.

“We’ve got some experience coming back from last year, but we’re young,” BV coach Jason Marquis said.

SPRING VALLEY — Balanced basketball is the goal for the Hall Red Devils.

Hall relied heavily on two key players last season, but coach Mike Filippini believes that the talent on his squad this season is spread across the board, and he hopes that talent base will provide opportunities for the Red Devils this season.

“We’re not looking for one guy to step in and be a hero this year,” Filippini said. “We have a lot of guys that have the talent to play and I think a balanced attack will be the result this season.”

Two key pieces to the Hall puzzle coming back will certainly be junior guards Alex Castelan and

World Series is a heavenly feeling for Cubs fans After 108 years, the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win brought great joy to their fan base worldwide.

The moment Anthony Rizzo snagged the final out of Game 7 at first base, tears of joy flowed and cheers roared at Wrigleyville and across the country and haven’t stopped since.

We’ve all heard friends and family, and social media post after social media post, talk about how their grandfather or grandmother, their father or their mother, or their son or

daughter, were looking down from heaven and smiling when “Next Year” finally came.

But did they really? That is a spiritual question I posed to some pastoral friends. Are our loved ones who have passed

and walked through the pearly gates to glory, a moment we can only imagine what is like, really in tune with our daily lives and monumental moments like a Cubs World Series winner?

Abbot Phillip Davey of St. Bede Abbey said it’s a very good theological question. And he’s not in a position to tell people if they’re right or wrong, he said.

“I tend to leave those kind of things open to people’s point of view and preference, because we try to talk about things we don’t know much about. We

don’t have any category to use,” he said. “For example, how can talk you talk about time (in heaven), when there’s no time. And I understand the way people see things and interpret thing and sort of understand them, but from a theological point of view, it’s such an incredible complex sort of the thing. I just kind of let people say and think what they believe, because I can’t tell them if they’re right or wrong.”

And it’s not a bad thing to believe, Davey said.

“It obviously connects them to a part of their life with somebody before who was significant to them,” he said. “It brought people a lot of comfort and (they were) able to connect, like the guy who listened to the game on the radio at the cemetery at his dad’s grave. God bless him. I would not want to tell me him no. It was a grace moment.”

Davey, a Cubs fan, said he thought about his parents, who always took him to one Cubs

Tournament From Page 9 floor leader Anna Murray and senior Courtney Oeder getting into early foul trouble. Both would foul out at the end with the game in hand.

“Their coach has been here now for a few years. He’s got several seniors that are starters that have been with him for four years,” Gonigam said. “They’re tall and very physical. We knew that coming in. We had to match that physicality. They ran the floor tremendously well and we had to work to get back on defense. But credit to our kids, they were able to make those adjustments and step up and play a tough match tonight.”

With the game tied at 25, PHS scored seven straight to close the third quarter out. A free throw and a hoop by Oeder finished off a 32-25 edge for PHS at quarter’s end.

A 3-point play by Streator’s Alea Rashid and a free throw and a layup by Meka Elmore brought the Bulldogs within 43-40.

PHS used a 6-1 run late with a bank shot

by Oeder, a hoop by Michaela Mall off a Murray dish, and a Murray drive put the game away with 0:25 to play.

Murray (19) and Oeder (15) combined for 34 points. Murray netted 13 second-half points, despite drawing the attention of a box-and-one defense employed by Streator to try to slow her down, a tactic Murray can expect often this season.

“It doesn’t really bother her. She played through it. She didn’t let it get into her head,” Gonigam said. “We adjusted to it and were able to keep her mentally and physically in the game.”

Mall added seven points and Sara Grieff added seven, including a late first-half bucket to give PHS an 18-17 halftime edge.

L/O 69, Henry 8: The Lady Lions bounced back in a big way Tuesday after falling to Bureau Valley 53-28 on Monday’s opening night. They led 25-0 at the end of the first quarter and 38-4 at the half.

“I spoke to a couple of our captains about not playing up to our potential on Monday. We are better then that and we responded in a big way on Tuesday,” L/O coach Bobby Wilson said. “I’m very happy with the production from everyone. Freshmen got a chance to play and showed some great things. I was very happy with how focused we were and stayed throughout the game. That has a lot to do with Jasmine (Kahly), Lexi (Loftus, and Paige (Conner). They expect nothing less from their teammates.”

Loftus scored 14 first-half points, finishing with a game-high 17 for the Lady Lions. Sophomore Cassie Morton added a career-high 12 points and Conner nine.

Princeton senior Michaela Mall has a close encounter against Midland Monday at Prouty Gym.

Monday’s games Bureau Valley 53, L/O 28: The Lady Lions jumped out to a 10-2 lead. Three straight hoops by senior reserve Marissa Mungia helped the Storm right the ship to take a 14-12 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Storm went on to take a 24-20 halftime lead and outscored the Lady Lions 29-8 the rest of the way to win going away.

“The girls came out with high intensity, controlling the boards on both ends of the floor and playing a smothering team defense. We also had great production off the bench,” said BV first-year coach Jim Nugent, who took over the program just two days before the start of practice.

“It was nice to come out and get a win considering the transition these girls have been through.”

BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus Christen Hurley led BV with 21 points Bureau Valley’s Ellen Johnson drives on LaMoille/Ohio’s Paige Conner Monday at Princewith Ellen Johnson and Mungia adding ton. The Storm overcame a 10-2 deficit to win going away 53-28.

10 each.

Conner led the Lady Lions with 11 points and Loftus added seven.

“We got off to a great start and BV made an adjustment. We got a little tired and things went south without us making some shots,” Wilson said. “The effort was there and we have to tip our hat to BV for responding. I always tell the girls, the ‘Ls’ are on me, I need to make the adjustments. When we win, it’s all on the girls.”

Princeton 51, Midland 21: The Tigresses took control early in Monday’s season opener, taking leads of 14-4 at the end of one and 34-7 at the half. Murray (26 points) outscored the T-Wolves by herself and Oeder added 10 points.

Storm From Page 11 “We’re going to seven or eight juniors and sophomores with significant playing time this year, but this group is ambitious.

They’re doing what we have asked of them and now they’ll just have to put everything together.”

The plethora of young talent at the disposal of the Storm leaves the starting lineup muddled.

“There will be continuity built up already from last year, and I don’t think we will be as caught off guard by the speed and physicality as we were last year,” Marquis said.

“We have quickness to deal with the speed of other teams but we will still have to make up for the physical aspect of the game and the size advantage that most teams will have on us.”

“I’m excited for Endress and his third year at the varsity level,” Marquis said. “He’s a little bigger, a little stronger and I don’t know if I’ve ever coached a kid who has put in as much work on his game than he did over this last summer.”

Standout sophomore Nate Paup-Caudill also returns with team highs in rebounds (127) and blocks (18) to solidify a

solid Storm core.

Two faces that will be fresh for the Storm that will have to overcome the learning curve of transferring in will be two juniors in Robert Rouse (Stark County) and Sawyer Gray (St. Bede Academy).

There are a slew of juniors waiting in the wings for the Storm should their number be called on in Brendan McAlvey, Joshua Monier, Jackson Hanson and Daniel Schoff as the Storm dress 10 juniors this season.

“We want to win all the tournaments we enter, we want to win 20 games, and we want to be champions in the postseason,” Marquis said. “For now, our only focus is to concentrate at practice and the next two hours that we’ll be together, and we can only prepare ourselves for those things by getting better each time we’re together.”

Red Devils From Page 11 Brant Vanaman as they return to their starting roles in the Red Devils lineup.

Coach Filippini saw stark improvement from the pair over the course of last season and doesn’t expect their improvement to be hindered this season.

“I’m not sure how it will shake down in the end, because we have different guys in the mix for playing time, but we’ll probably only end up starting one senior, three juniors and a sophomore this season,” Filippini said.

The pair will also have some more familiarity on the court as senior Kieran Trevier, who also saw starting minutes last season, will see his role elevated as he is the only true post player available for the Red Devils. Senior forward Nick Edgcomb will be out until at least January with a lingering hand injury from football season.

Sophomore forward Jimmy DeAngelo will be called up to the varsity ranks and will be the fourth connecting starting puzzle piece to the Hall lineup to fall into place.

From there, who will fill the fifth and final starting spot for the Red Devils becomes murkier, as three other Red Devils are in line to be inserted in the starting lineup. Senior outside shooting guard Kyle Follmer could see his role change in the Hall attack from quality backup to starter. But he will have to battle two juniors for the final starting spot as the talented twosome of Cade Wozniak (F) and Ty Rybarczyk (G) are nipping at the heels of the senior for starting minutes.

“We have a fairly young group of guys, but we also have a good core of guys that saw plenty of minutes for us last year.

We have three guys that saw significant starting time last year and a few that came off the bench,“ Filippini said. “We have enough varsity experience to overcome the youth that we will have on the floor.”

“Different guys have different skill sets on the team, but they all bring something to the table. There are multiple opportunities for guys on this team to step in and fill roles this season,” Filippini said. “Guys can create playing time for themselves if they continue to put in the work needed.”

Hall will also have the luxury of having four more upperclassmen to pull from off of their bench throughout the season in senior forwards Max Marquez, Simon Burcham and Isaac Leal. Junior guard Sean Riordan will also have the opportunity to find minutes off of the bench.

Reed-Custer will be the first opponent on Hall’s list this season Monday at 5 p.m. in the Seneca Thanksgiving Tournament.

Hieronymus From Page 11 game every year, making it a real big family event. His late mother, he said, would to listen to Cubs games as a form of entertainment when she was on dialysis.

Senior Pastor Curtis Odell of the Princeton Bible Church said the Bible is not clear whether people in heaven can see what is happening here on earth. The Bible is clear, “that there is no greater joy, on earth or in heaven, than being with our Savior Jesus Christ,” he said.

“Those who are in heaven, who have been redeemed from their slavery to sin by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, now have a different perspective,” Odell added. “The perspective would be that their every desire is to glorify Jesus Christ. So, if they have any opportunity to see things here on earth, it would be centered on bringing Jesus Christ glory through people here placing their faith in Jesus.”

Odell cites scripture from Luke 15:11, which says, “There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who

repents,” to determine if the Cubs winning the World Series brought joy to those in heaven.”

Therefore, he said, “If seeing the Cubs win the World Series led people to repent and place their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for the forgiveness of their sins then perhaps people in heaven were observing and rejoicing,” he said.

As an avid Cubs fan himself, Odell said no matter how much happiness he received from watching his team win the World Series, he had to remind himself there is a greater joy awaiting him in heaven.

“The joy of having my sin forgiven and knowing God through Jesus Christ is all I will ever need on earth or in heaven,” he said.

Pastor Jeff Schlesinger, formerly of St. Matthews Lutheran in Princeton (2003-12), who now pastors at Immanuel Lutheran in Compton and First Lutheran in Lee, cites two thoughts in Christian theology on what happens after we die.

The first is the belief we will go “to sleep” until the day of resurrection when God raises all the dead to live in the great eternal kingdom, he said.

“This concept fits well for those who

think more holistic about the nature of our existence (no separation of body and soul),” Schlesinger said. “It also fits better for those who believe the eternal kingdom will be an eternal earthly kingdom.

In this train of thought, you could argue that people are right in saying their loved ones are smiling about the win insomuch as their spirit (a mystical presence rather than a separate entity) continues to live on in their ancestors. It takes some intellectual gymnastics to arrive at that however.”

The second Christian theological thought is that when we die our soul is separated from our body and whisked off to heaven to live with God eternally, Schlesinger said. This concept is much more widely accepted in the western world today, he said, and how most people like to imagine their loved ones who have died.

“If this one is true, I would imagine that our loved ones in heaven are happy for what we are experiencing,” he said.

“Orthodox Christian theology professes belief in the ‘communion of saints’ which means there is a mystical connection among all those who are part of God’s kingdom — past, present and future.

Schlesinger said determining which

point of view is true is not so easy. He said what little biblical material there is on our state of being after we die favors the first view.

“Believe it or not, there is not much Biblical material speaking of heaven as a place. That said, there is certainly Biblical stuff that does suggest heaven is a place — such as the ascension of Jesus,” he said.

Whether it’s true or not for heaven being connected to moments such as the Cubs in the World Series, Davey said, he recalled the story of the late Father Damian from St. Bede.

“Our Father Damian was a very avid Cubs fan, and he died in his room and his radio was on WGN. One of the speculation was he was listening to a Cubs game. And people used to joke now that he’s in the heaven the Cubs are going to win the World Series. Of course that didn’t happen either (right away). People can get caught up in sort of using magical thinking.”

Cubs fans will tell you they used any kind of magical or divine help they could to land that elusive World Series title.
