Upgrading Darius Miller Park City looks at train and historical themes By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — Renovation plans for Darius Miller Park are in full swing. At the Princeton City Council meeting on Monday, Nov. 16, Laurie Bonucci, a member of the park planning committee, gave an update on the plans the committee has been working on for the park.
The committee has been meeting every other week since September. Bonucci said during the first couple months, committee members talked only about ideas for the park, but now those ideas have been dwindled down to a list of more realistic plans for the space. Bonucci said the committee’s focus is to make the area a simple, welcoming green space, while incorpo-
rating historical elements to tie it into the neighborhood and the city’s historical pride. Wanting to use trains as a soft focal point for the space, Bonucci said the committee has used inspiration from a train park located in Phoenix, Ariz. She said they would like to incorporate train elements for children and historical signage talking about Darius Miller.
Bonucci said she has also researched grants given out by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and discovered it gives out grants of up to $1 million a year in small increments to communities. She said BNSF is interested in train and cultural-themed ideas, as well as historical elements, and Bonucci plans to write for

Who was Darius Miller? Bonucci gave a brief history bit about Darius Miller at the Monday, Nov 16, council meeting. She said Darius Miller attended Princeton High School. When he left town, he got involved with the railroad. He worked his way up to become president of the then Chicago-Quincy Railroad — now called the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Miller died in 1914 from an appendicitis attack. Following his death, the railroad company donated the piece of land that makes up the park to the city. The last time the park was renovated was in 1976.

PRINCETON — He was the man with the largerthan-life voice. You knew when he was in the room. He had a kind smile, and he fixed plenty of those smiles in his lifetime. He was involved. He loved life; he loved his family and friends; he loved God. Dr. Richard “Dick” Dorsch, 76, of Princeton died late Sunday evening at Perry Memorial Hospital. Friends and colleagues of Dorsch each seemed to have a story to tell of how this well-known Princeton resident had touched not only their own lives, but the lives of others as well. Practicing dentistry for years, Dorsch had a way of comforting patients, always telling a story or two while working on their teeth. Dr. Harold “Hutch” Hutchinson of Princeton was not only a colleague of

Bureau Valley’s core values Will the district abide by them or change them? By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com
Editor’s note: This is the first story in a twopart series on a special meeting held by the Bureau Valley School Board. MANLIUS — It was a two-hour meeting of the minds Monday, Nov. 16, as the Bureau Valley Board and about 30 district residents gathered at the Bureau Valley High School auditorium to review a recent survey sent out by the board and discuss future plans for the district. The survey was recently sent to Bureau Valley registered voters to get their thoughts on how the district should proceed with consoli-
dating the junior high schools and/or building a new school in the southern portion of the district. Prior to the survey, the board had voted to build a junior high school next to the high school and consolidate all junior high school students in the district. It had also approved a new kindergarten through fifth-grade building to be built somewhere in the southern part of the district; its location had not been determined. BV Board President Dr. Rick Cernovich opened the meeting by giving a bit of history about the path the board and public had traveled in the past year regarding the district’s aging facilities and options to rectify the issues. He asked the discussion on Monday to remain

Ingrained Images Photographer Dan Acker and the Flour House Bakery unite for the first Bookshelf Gallery By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — Along with the appeal of the daily variety of freshly baked goods and brewed drinks, one of the attractions of Princeton’s Flour House Bakery has been its atmosphere. Long shelves filled with books and small items run down the length of both sides, encouraging patrons to slow down, peruse the titles and perhaps pull one off the shelf to enjoy. Professional photographer Dan Acker, a resident of Tiskilwa and a Flour House regular, approached owners Terri and Sallee Zearing this summer with an idea of subtly incorporating more art onto the shelves. This was the beginning of what has come to be called the Bookshelf Gallery. On the evening of Friday, Nov. 13, the bakery hosted a reception for its first exhibition, a collection of Acker’s photography. “The minute he explained his idea to us, we loved it. I loved the idea of doing it this way; just one artist and art that enhances our look and not just a bunch of price tags,” said Terri. “I’ve always admired the decor here, it’s a unique environment. I had the idea, with all these bookshelves and objects around, that it’d be fun to integrate small art pieces into it; not necessarily clear the shelves and make it all about the art, but to make it to where it’s almost to the point of where if you
weren’t paying attention, you wouldn’t know it was there,” said Acker. Acker, who worked for Bloomberg News in New York City from 2000 to 2010, is now a freelance photojournalist whose work is frequently to provide images of the presidential candidates as they travel through the region. “I do a lot of politics, especially lately. I’ve been in Iowa more than I’ve been in Illinois. The next few months will be pretty hectic until the caucus on the 2nd of February. It keeps me busy,” said Acker. As he travels across the region on his way to or from the latest political events, Acker’s eye is always keen to lock on to anything which may make for an interesting image. “I do a lot of u-turns and stand on the roof of my truck quite frequently,” said Acker. He went on to explain his feelings and intentions toward his work in the Bookshelf Gallery. “It’s one thing to get paid to make a picture and cover a specific event or to illustrate a story, but this work is sort of everything else. These pictures represent my reactions to light and shape,” said Acker. The images themselves are, as you’d expect from a professional photographer, well composed and striking on their own, but what adds an extra artistic dimension is they’ve been printed on wood. “There’s something tactile about agriculture and the way farmers interact

Bonucci said the committee is conscious of the budget they’ve been given for the project, which is $80,000 over a two-year period. The monies will come out of the city’s tourism fund. The ideas for the park have been submitted to the design subcommittee, and they are working on drawing up an image of the future park. Bonucci said the committee will take about six weeks to look over and perfect the plans. Once the design phase is complete, the committee will then move forward with the grant process. “We’re trying to get the best park for the budget we’ve got,” she said. Mayor Joel Quiram said he would

with the earth and equipment. I felt like the wood brought a bit of that natural element into the photograph in a way I can’t control. I can print the image, but I don’t know how the graining is going to interact until it’s printed. If you look over these, most are formally composed and they’re purposeful; and I think that comes through, but that element of being out of my control appealed to me. I like the way the images interact with the wood,” said Acker. While the photos are of recognizable scenes and familiar places, they all share some similar qualities which are enhanced to great effect by the wood grain. “A lot of them are simple and minimalistic. I like photographing in fog and blizzards, when things are obscured. It can take a common scene that you might look at every day and dramatically change it. It can give a dreamy, eerie quality,” Acker said. The exhibition opening

Unexpected project costs city upwards of $10,000 Warren questioned who is responsible By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council talked more about the unexpected manhole project that arose about two months ago while contractors were working on the sanitary sewer rehab project on South Church Street. The project has cost the city another $8,000 to $10,000 that was not budgeted this year. On Monday, Nov. 16, commissioner Laura Favia asked for an update on the project and questioned how the manhole issue was discovered. Tim Forristall, who is the city’s water treatment and wastewater superintendent, was at the council meeting on Monday and talked about how contractors discovered the issue. He said it was brought to his attention that a sanitary sewer line and a water line were running in the same manhole along South Church Street. “This is not safe,” he said. “It could be a problem, and in the EPA’s (Environmental Protection Agency) eyes, illegal if there is problem there.” Forristall explained since the roads were already torn up from the sanitary sewer project, contractors who were on-site working on the sanitary sewer rehab project decided it would be the best time to move forward with correcting the manhole issue. “We made the decision to address it then. The contractor on-site gave a price of $23,000, which we considered very
high,” he said. Forristall said he spoke with commissioner Ray Mabry, who oversees the department of streets and public improvements. Forristall said Mabry asked to get a couple more bids on the project. Superior Construction, who was in town doing boring work in the Bailey Subdivision, gave the project a bid price of $8,000 to $10,000. Forristall said it was much cheaper because their contractors and equipment were already in town. The manhole project was completed last week, according to Forristall. Commissioner Bob Warren said it came as a complete surprise to him this manhole issue was missed, and he was disappointed he recently was just hearing about the extra project. “I didn’t know we were going to spend an extra $8,000 to $10,000 for a manhole that we needed out there,” he said. “We realize things happen out in the field, but to flat out miss a manhole — that’s pretty serious.” Warren advised the council to look into which engineering company was last doing work in the area. He mentioned either Stand and Associates or Chamlin and Associates had drawings of the area from about 10 years ago. He said the city should confront them about the issue and question how the manhole situation was overlooked. Because it was overlooked, the city is now having to pay for their mistake, he added.

But the board did what a good board does.” Cernovich said he has been thinking long and hard in regards to how the board could lead the district back to a place of respect and prominence, and after much consideration, he said the answers were contained in the three words which comprise the district’s logo: Unity, Excellence and Pride. “I feel the pride we currently have could be much greater. Pride is a result of the excellence exhibited by how well we fulfill our district mission statement: To empower all students to excel in a global society,” he wrote in a prepared statement. He said he felt the district had made “great strides in the pursuit of excellence.” But when it comes to unity, Cernovich said he believes the unity within the district “is the most critical to our district’s

Dorsch, but they were best friends. Practicing dentistry together in Princeton for upwards of 50 years, Hutchinson didn’t hesitate to give applause to his friend and colleague. “He was a colleague, a friend and just a great human being. I just really really admired him. I would have liked to have patterned my life after him. He was a good Christian, a good American, very patriotic,” Hutchinson said. “Dick was thoughtful of other people and very generous. I feel like a hole has been left in my life when I talk about his passing. He was my best friend.” Hutchinson said the pair would collaborate on dental problems with patients.
“I would ask his advice and vice versa,” Hutchinson remembered. “He was a perfectionist. He did gorgeous work. “He was just absolutely top notch,” Hutchinson continued. “You’d never hope to find anybody better. I can’t find any fault with Dr. Dorsch; he was patient, thoughtful, introspective. I can’t say enough good about him. The town has really lost a great citizen.” Merle Polson of Princeton was another close friend to Dorsch. “Dick has been a good friend of mine since 1961 ... He was very organized, a very religious man,” Polson said. “Dick had cancer ... many years ago. Dick’s mission in life was to make phone calls to people (with cancer) to offer encouragement. He was a kind man, very caring of other people
• Unit district formation (kindergarten through grade 12). • One centrally located high school. • Attendance centers in each community. • Enhanced curricular and extra-curricular opportunities. • Equality of students in each community and grade. • Sound financial planning. “What core values are we going to use (as we proceed)?” Cernovich asked. “If we aren’t going to use them, we need to establish our own ... If we are going to change our core values, then take that plaque down and start over.” “The board has to make that decision,” said BV Board member Kent Siltman, regarding the idea of changing the district’s core values and agreeing with Cernovich on the concept of needing to either abide by the current core values or develop new ones. “My point is we need to start out with our core values. It will make our decision (for the future) a whole lot easier,” Cernovich said.

success, the most lacking and the area that we, as a board, can have the greatest impact ... It is the first word of our logo; it binds the five communities together; it gives strength to the whole — a house divided cannot stand.” Cernovich went on to say the lack of unity and trust in the BV District has been mostly felt among adults, including board members, administration, teachers, coaches and especially between those in the northern part of the district and those in the southern part of the district. “The group that has been most successful in developing unity has been the students,” he said. “The students have done it, but we as adults seem to find it harder to dump the baggage, selfishness and false pride that would allow true unity to flourish.” Throughout the meeting, Cernovich referred to the “core values,” a set of guidelines or guiding goals the committee of 10 established 20 years ago when the towns in the now Bureau Valley District made the tough decisions to consolidate into a single district. Those towns include Wyanet, Buda, Sheffield, Manlius and Walnut. Those core values are inscribed on a plaque and hang in the main hallway at the high school. Basically, those core values say:
his roles demanded. “Dick would try out for these shows, and he did a special job becoming that person on stage,” said Hamilton, who remembers Dorsch as a person with rare abilities to play every part a little different. “He didn’t need the spotlight, just a chance to express himself.” Dorsch was not just a dentist to Hamilton, but someone with whom she would seek the company and advice of — due to his attitude which was always accompanied by “a smile and a chuckle.” “He was so kind and helpful to all the cast members, and it was never work to him even though it was hard work and demanded a lot of time,” she said, calling Dorsch a truly genuine person. “He could always make the heaviest days
“Dick was thoughtful of other people and very generous. I feel like a hole has been left in my life when I talk about his passing. He was my best friend.” Dr. Harold “Hutch” Hutchinson less fortunate. “Dick is a pillar in our church,” Polson continued of the membership they both shared at Princeton First Lutheran Church. “We will definitely miss his influence. He was in church Sunday. I spoke to him, and he said he was having a better day ... I had told him once to his face he has probably been the
most influential man in my life as far as my faith walk. I seriously meant that.” Tiskilwa resident Doris Hamilton was involved with Dorsch in many musical productions throughout the last four decades, and she remembers him as a wonderful friend with a great voice, who was so qualified to embrace the characters
light.” First Lutheran Church Pastor Norm Femrite called Dorsch a “real man of faith” and a leading presence in the Princeton congregation. “He loved his Lord,” Femrite said. “He had a deep caring for people. When he was around people’s lives were touched, and they were cared for.” Femrite said Dorsch was involved in many aspects of the church — from special events like the upcoming Christmas Carol Sing-Along, as well as other groups and events. “For Dick, it was never about him. It was always about the church and the work of Christ,” Femrite said. See a full obituary on Page 5. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

U of I must halt further missteps The University of Illinois has enough financial trouble on its hands without reeling from self-inflicted wounds. Principle and character in the athletic department must be restored One need not be a University of Illinois student or alum to be concerned about the state of affairs at our state’s flagship university. The U of I – the state’s largest university – is vital to the state’s rural economy, of which Bureau County is a part. It imparts knowledge through its 17 colleges that drives across-the-board advancement in rural and urban areas alike. The University of Illinois Extension system serves farmers and people in small cities and towns with research-based, unbiased information on a wide range of subjects. The U of I is a leader in innumerable areas, so when troubles at the university’s athletic department threatened its prestige and effectiveness, action had to be taken. Gone are football coach Tim Beckman, fired in August after football players said they had been mistreated, and athletic director Mike Thomas, fired Nov. 9 after the release of a 1,200-page report. In it, according to The Associated Press, independent investigators “found that Beckman pressured players to play hurt, sometimes profanely questioning their toughness in front of other players, and interfered in medical decisions.” That’s certainly not good for the public perception of this top-shelf university. The chaos hasn’t been limited to athletics. Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise resigned earlier this year after a hubbub about her emails, leaving the decisions to clean up the athletic department to her successor, interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson. We applaud Wilson’s take-charge approach, and we encourage the university’s first-year president, Timothy Killeen, to ride herd on the process to restore principle and character to the athletic department. That, along with continued academic excellence and, at some point, we hope, a renewed tradition of athletic success, will help keep the campus full of students. The university has enough on its hands with a reduction in state funds and the loss of MAP grants so far this academic year because of the state budget stalemate. Self-inflicted wounds, therefore, must be kept to a minimum. Going forward, that is one of President Killeen’s main challenges. BCR

Chasing the perfect holiday When you have eight brothers and sisters, holidays can feel overwhelming, frenzied and a bit crazy at times, especially when you factor in spouses and children running around. As much as I love my family, and I love enjoying Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas Eve at my parents’ house, things tend to get a bit chaotic. Our family has never been a quiet, reserved one — we are loud, quick to laugh and eager to tease each other. I’ve grown accustomed to the noise levels, and I’m one of the main contributors. But every once in a while I find myself longing for the quiet, cozy holiday moments I see in Hallmark movies or commercials. I’ve struggled for years chasing the vision of the perfect holiday — the silent moments sitting by a roaring fireplace, the immaculate, uncluttered house, the perfectly decorated Christmas cookies, the succulent turkey sitting on an impeccably dressed-up table, the helpful children smiling in their holiday clothes without a hair out of place, the married couple still finding time to steal romantic moments during the hectic pace of the holidays, the professionally wrapped gifts under the most beautiful Christmas tree imaginable and the parents waking up looking refreshed on Christmas morning, leisurely enjoying a cup of coffee. I’ve finally wised up and realized — it’s a lie ... it’s all a lie. It’s like Bigfoot or the Chupacabra. Perfect holidays don’t exist, at least in my universe. Here’s what I’ve experienced throughout the years as I chased holiday perfection:
Shannon Serpette COMMENTARY • Quiet moments by the fire: I was so excited when we bought our house almost 11 years ago because it had a fireplace. Soon, at our holiday gatherings, I became chained to it once I realized people thought burning wrapping paper in my fireplace was OK. I would explain to them I would rather avoid toxic fumes in my house. I stayed sweating by the fire, afraid to leave it, knowing I would return from grabbing a snack to find five pounds of wadded up wrapping paper stuffed in there. Then a few years later, my daughter was diagnosed with asthma, and we were told not to use the fireplace anyway. • Turkey dinner: Inevitably at some point during the process of making a holiday feast, I become convinced my turkey is under cooked and will give everyone food poisoning. My turkey always resembles a pin cushion because I feel the need to check every inch of it with a meat thermometer. As I cut the meat, I stare suspiciously at it, as if I can detect bacteria with only my eyes if I focus hard enough. • Immaculate house: My house will never be immaculate. Most days I am grateful for semi-decent. Did I mention I still have my Halloween decorations up, almost three weeks after Halloween ended? That’s how I roll. • Helpful, tidy children: My chil-
dren are pretty helpful if I catch them at the right time. As far as tidy goes, my 8-year-old daughter firmly believes she should not have to brush her hair on days she doesn’t have school. I try not to let this bother me because I’m not eager for the teenage years where she will probably spend way too much time on her appearance. So for now, most weekends and holidays she looks like a child who has been raised by wolves. • Romantic moments: Most days during the holiday season, I am so busy, mentally exhausted and distracted, I don’t think I could pick my husband out of a police line-up, let alone arrange a romantic date without the kids. • Perfectly wrapped gifts: I am one of the worst wrappers known to man. For that matter, I am also one of the worst rappers known to man, if my ill-conceived attempt to sing “Ice Ice Baby” for karaoke one night is any indication. I might be able to do a better job on the wrapping gifts thing if I slowed down. But due to the time crunch of the holidays, I don’t ever see that happening. Who has time to slow down? • Waking up looking refreshed on Christmas morning: If you want to see what I look like on Christmas morning, Google “Nick Nolte mug shot.” A combination of being so exhausted and frazzled does that to me. If I ever break the law, I pray the authorities don’t arrest me on Christmas morning because that photo would be so crazy it would immediately go viral.

Cast members for this year’s children’s Christmas musical, “Christmas Banished,” prepare for upcoming performances. Frost, has convinced the Coalition members that Santa Claus does not think that the other Coalition members deserve their own holidays.

with Suzie Snowflake, and Cupid letting loose his arrows during a climactic battle scene. The cast of “Christmas Banished” includes Luke Bowen, Cearra LaPlante, Niklas Schneider, Bianca Lanham, Ashten Wilson, Miles Bengtson, Keegan Fogarty, Grace Busard, Alexis Alt, Brennan Roden, Libby Boyles, Chloe Sampson, Henry Bengtson, Alexis Jacobs, Abby Davis, Maggie Davis, Nora Schneider, Josie Edelfson,

Hall High School Spanish students celebrate ‘Day of the Dead’ SPRING VALLEY — Spanish students at Hall High School recently celebrated the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, or El Dia de los Muertos. This popular Mexican holiday happens on Nov. 1 and its traditions are extending to the United States. This holiday celebrates death as a part of life and honors deceased loved ones. Families create altars to the departed in their homes or, more traditionally, at the cemetery. Family members lay out the deceased person’s favorite things that they enjoyed in life to entice their spirit to visit on this sacred night. The tradi-
tions of this holiday are very different from Halloween in the U.S. This holiday is all about bright colors, lively decorations, and celebrating life. Each Spanish class, taught by Katie Lawrence, creates a different craft project to apply their knowledge of the holiday. All students are directed to think of a deceased family member or friend and what that person enjoyed in their life. Spanish 1 students created a tombstone decorated according to the traditions of the holiday. Spanish 2 students drew what they envisioned an altar to look like in a cem-
etery in Mexico but their drawing was all about their loved one and what they would put out to honor that person. Spanish 3 students decorated and hand sewed Calaveras (or Skull) pillows. They decorated them to look like Sugar Skulls, a frequent decoration of this holiday. Spanish 4 created miniature versions of “Ofrendas,” or altars, to honor their loved ones by putting photos of the things they enjoyed in life. The week was finished by having a “fiesta” on Friday where the projects were completed and shared with the class.

Farm Bureau Women’s Committee celebrates Farm-City Week with Thanksgiving dinners PRINCETON — Since the earliest days as a nation, farmers have tilled the soil of this great land, feeding their families, other citizens and people around the world. Over the years, the economy has changed, but the American farm and ranch has remained a vital thread in the fabric of our lives. In fact, an average American farmer feeds 155 people each year. The nation was founded on values of hard work, faith, family and community. Those values still hold true for farmers and ranchers. By providing an abundant supply of safe, high-quality food and fiber, our farmers and ranchers contribute to a quality of life in our country that is unmatched around the world. Farmers do not work alone. Farm workers, researchers, educators, processors, shippers, truck drivers, inspectors, agribusinesses, wholesalers, marketers, retailers and consumers, many of whom are in urban and suburban areas, all play important roles in the incredible productivity of the nation’s food and fiber system.

Bureau County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee members Beth Schultz (from left), Bev Read and Nelda Marcum delivered enough food to provide Thanksgiving dinner for 155 people. The number is representative of how many people one farmer feeds each year. This year’s donation was made to the food pantry in Princeton. As we gather with family and friends around the Thanksgiving table, it is fitting we count among our blessings the vital farm-city partnerships that have done so much to improve the quality of lives. Rural and urban communities working together have made the most of our rich agricultur-
al resources, and they continue to contribute to the health and well being of the people and to the strength of our economy. In recognition of the upcoming National Farm City Week, the Bureau County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee donated enough food to provide
Thanksgiving dinner for 155 people. This donation consists of 22 turkeys, 30 cans of sweet potatoes, 26 cans of cranberry sauce, 20 boxes of instant potatoes, 26 packages of stuffing, 44 cans of green beans, 12 packages of rolls, 30 jars of apple sauce, 15 boxes of cake mix and 15 cans of frosting.

2015 BCR Cross Country Runner of the Year
A work (man) of consistency By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com
Cody Workman is a work of consistency. Each year the Princeton senior runner has continued to knock off considerable time from the previous year. That enabled him to keep up with the competition and qualify for sectionals all four years, the past three individually. That model of consistency has led Workman to become the 2015 All-BCR Runner of the Year for runners from Bureau County schools. “It’s just been nice to see Cody continue to improve throughout his four years here at PHS. He took off another 20 seconds or so from his best time in 2014, which is a nice improvement for a senior,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said. “One of his strengths is his consistency, not only consistency in physical effort, but also consistency in his mental outlook each race.” While happy with his consistency in reaching the sectionals all four years, Workman couldn’t help but to be disappointed to not reach state this year. “I was hoping obviously to get to state this year, because of the rate of improvement I was making this year and years past,” he said. “I’d always improve a minute or so, and doing that I thought maybe I should get to state this year. But there was just a lot of good runners this year in the Oregon Sectional.” That day proved to be one that challenged Workman and all the other runners pushing to qualify for state. It was wet, rainy, muddy and very cold. In a word, it was miserable. “I’ve always have run against my competition better when it’s raining or windy like that. It’s nowhere been near extreme ever as that Oregon Sectional. That meet proved who was the best of the best up there,” Workman said. That’s one reason he loves cross country so much, because the best runners are the ones who can adapt to all circum-

Storm hit the floor running
By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — The Bureau Valley Storm hit the floor running to open up the season Monday, Nov. 16, in the Princeton Holiday Tournament. They scored the game’s first eight points on the way to a 59-28 win over LaMoille/Ohio at Prouty Gym. BV coach Tiffany Gonigam said it was good to get a game in. “I am very proud of our first
game night. I thought the girls displayed very well the type of effort and enthusiasm that we have been building in practice,” Gonigam said. “I think the amount of depth that we were able to have coming off the bench shows that these kids believe in what we are doing and were into the game the whole time. “Obviously, it is our first game and it’s a long season, so the most important thing is that we continue to have that mentality, focus and
enthusiasm night in and night out.” BV put up eight points quickly to take control from the tip. The Lady Lions were shut out until the 4:56 mark on a hoop from sophomore Lexi Loftus. Darcy Kepner answered right back for the Storm, who finished out the first quarter with a 15-5 lead. BV stretched its lead to 25-12 at halftime.

Tigresses top Henry, Streator By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigresses are off to a 2-0 start on the season in its own holiday tournament as it chipped away at the Streator Lady Bulldogs throughout the game and earned a 42-27 victory Tuesday, Nov. 17, in Prouty. Each game the Tigresses take the court, they want to play better. They followed that philosophy throughout the game as they picked up the intensity from quarter to quarter. “We talked about a few things at halftime. We had a discussion about a few things. We came out in the second half and did a better job of what we needed to do. We talked about what we needed to do differently that we didn’t do in the first half,” PHS coach Jeff Ohlson said. The intensity showed immediately as the Tigresses turned back-toback turnovers within the
first 1:30 of play in the second half into four points and a 17-5 lead. From there, PHS looked like it had a chance to pull away, but Streator junior guard Alea Rashid knocked down four second-half threes, including three in the final 5:45 of play to keep the Bulldogs in it. Streator pulled within seven with 4:50 to play in the game on a trey from Rashid. The resilient Tigresses went on an 8-1 run including a nice swing pass from sophomore guard Anna Murray to her sister, junior guard Sarah Murray, who knocked down the wide open three. The PHS run was only stopped by another three from Rashid at the top of the key with 1:32 to play to stop the bleeding at 38-27. By then it was too late for the Bulldogs as the Tigresses’ defense clamped down and held Streator scoreless the rest of the way. “I thought our intensi-

Snyder makes Tigers better than they were the day before If there’s ever been a lock for Coach of the Year, it’s Jesse Snyder. He took the Princeton football program to the depths of back-to-back 0-9 seasons and a 21-game losing streak to making history this season. The Tigers became the first team at Princeton to run the table in the regular season at 9-0. Then they won two more games, finishing with 11 overall, which goes down tied for the second most total in school history.
Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS
Only the 1989 state runner-up (12-2) won more games and only that Tiger Style Running Wild squad and the 2002 semifinalists (11-2) went deeper in the playoffs.
If you were able to watch Snyder on the sidelines the past four years as close as I have, you’d have seen he didn’t coach any different this year than he did his first year. He always strives to get the best out of every single player, every single down. If they’ve heard it once, the Tigers heard it a thousand times to get better than they were the day before during Snyder’s four years as head coach. Those early years were some trying years, no doubt about it, but
Snyder was able to get his team to see the big picture. He’d be a good salesman, because he had everyone, as he likes to say, “All in.” They bought into everything he had to say. Coach Snyder is a highly-energized motivator, able to will his troops to victory. When Saturday’s game with EIC started to slip away late in the first half, Snyder wouldn’t let the Tigers give up.

Osorio placed 15th at the BV Regional and 58th at sectional. Westley Schmidt (Hall • So.): The Hall sophomore was the top local runner (13th) in the Three Rivers All-Conference meet. Hall claimed the seventh and final team qualifying berth at the Seneca Regional, in large part to Schmidt’s 17th-place individual showing. He followed up with a 51st-place finish at sectional. Johnee Schulte (Ohio • Sr.): Qualified and advanced from the BV regional with a 17th-place showing. Finished up with a 56th-place showing at sectional. During the season, he placed 24th in the Princeton Invite and 47th at BV. Tom Stamberger (A/L • Fr.): 17th at TRAC, just missed Top 15 all-conference, 27th at BV regional, just missing second qualifier by 7 seconds. Won the Kewanee F/S invite and had top four finish at PHS
Workman From Page 13 stances, he said. He was projected to finish in the lows 50s by Hodge’s calculations and came away with a 43rd-place finish with a time of 18:36.75. “Any instance where you are able to do better against where you’re projected, you should be happy,” Workman said. That day exemplified best one of the traits Workman possesses, Hodge said, that makes him so consistent. He never got rattled and let anything bother him and gives it his best effort each time, the PHS coach said. “He has a game plan and sticks to it. He had some congestion issues in late September, which slowed him down a little bit, but not much,” Hodge said. “Again, I think that was due to his consistent mental as well as physical

and BV F/S invites. Morgan Strader (BV • So.): The sophomore was the Storm’s top finisher in its own regional with a 14th-place time of 17:54, leading the Storm to a qualifying fifth-place finish. He also placed 19th at conference and came in 60th at sectional. Cody Workman (PHS • Sr.): Earned Second Team all-conference honors on his home course with a 15th-place finish at the TRAC meet. He was the top local finisher throughout the season, including a 22nd place finish in the PIT and 39th at BV. He was the second individual qualifier from the Seneca Regional (15th) and finished 43rd in his final race in Princeton blues at sectional.

effort. It’s been a pleasure to coach him.” Workman repeated with second team Three Rivers All-Conference, placing 15th with a time of 17:30 on his home course at Zearing Park in Princeton. He had been battling a cold leading up to the race. “I was all-conference junior year (second team) and I was expecting to do better this year, but just wasn’t up to health,” he said. Workman would like to run in college if the opportunity presents itself, having just changed his course of studies from meteorology to music education. Workman is just the second PHS runner to earn BCR honors since the award was instituted in 1997. The only other Tiger to receive the award was Colin Mickow in 2007. Mickow finished fourth at 2A state and went on to run at the University of Illinois. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Red Devils hope that its success on the football field will eventually translate to success on the basketball court this season. Head coach Mike Filippini knows it will be an uphill battle early as they will only have four practices by the time they take the court for their first game. “We’ll probably get off to a little of a slow start due to the success of the football team, but after we can get some practices under our belt and everybody gets back to playing basketball, we’ll be good to go. And I expect most
of those guys that played football to get a lot of minutes and make major contributions,” Filippini said Entering his 11th season on the bench for the Red Devils, Filippini has amassed a career record of 140-144 and looks to get back above .500 after their 2014-2015 season landed them at 13-18, 3-9 in the TRAC East. “Last season we started slow for the same reason, but by the time regionals came around we had a few upsets, and all of a sudden we’re a sixth seed playing for a regional title. We may start slow again but I anticipate us finishing strong as these guys want to build off of

Shotgun season opens Friday Friday is the day many hunters have been anxiously awaiting. The seven-day firearm season in Illinois this year begins on Friday through Sunday, Nov 20-22, and will conclude on Thursday through Sunday, Dec. 3-6. Much of the farmers’ crops are out of the field and the weather looks promising. I have seen quite a few deer on my a.m. bus route as of late. “The firearm deer hunt is a tradition shared by generations of Illinoisans and visitors to our state, and the seven-day season is our busiest hunting season of the year,” said IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal. “The best way to enjoy time afield during deer season is to be aware, be alert, and be safe. In 2014, there were 20 hunting accidents, two of which were fatal. Among the hunting accidents reported last year, 10 involved tree stand falls. The IDNR reminds hunters to use the (FAS) Fall Arrest System safety harness. The Illinois Firearm Deer Season legal hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. Hunters who take a deer during the firearm season in most Illinois counties must register the deer they harvest online or by toll-free

Storm From Page 13 With such a young team as a whole, the Storm’s senior captains led by example. Kepner, the Storm’s senior point guard, led all scorers with 17 points on 8 of 15 shooting and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds. Classmate Savannah Dean chipped in 12 points and five rebounds. “They are our captains and really took charge tonight and our young team followed,” Gonigam said. Freshman Saige Barnett made her varsity debut and did not disappoint, sinking nine points, including a trey. Loftus finished with 15 points on 5 of 13 shooting for the Lady Lions. Paige Conner was the only other Lady Lion to muster at least six points.

BV’s Ellen Johnson and LaMoille/Ohio’s Nya Ranel get after it in Monday’s opening night game in the Princeton Holiday Tournament. The Storm held a dominating rebounding edge of 40-10. BV returns to action Thursday against Stark County, which was a 74-18 winner over
Tigresses From Page 13 “I thought our intensity level wasn’t there until the second half when we picked it up. We kind of stood around and waited, and we can’t do that. I thought they did a better job in the second half of coming out and attacking on offense,” Ohlson said. The two teams struggled in the first half, combining for just

Midland. The Storm reached the championship of the tournament last year, falling to Putnam County 39-28. • LaMoille/Ohio had a nice bounce-back
13 points in 14 minutes of play. With under two minutes to go, Anna Murray picked off a Streator pass that resulted in a trey from Michaela Mall at the other end. Just over a minute later, Mall picked off a pass of her own and streaked down for an easy layin and a 13-5 halftime lead. “It’s nice to be 2-0. To be 2-0 builds their confidence and gets them off on a good start,” Ohlson said. “We’re 2-0, but obviously our goal is to play well again on Thursday and get better again.”
win Tuesday, defeating Midland 52-26. Coach Holli Rapp said the Lady Lions changed some things up and most importantly hit some shots and “had a great deal of energy.” Jasmine Kahly scored 16 points, including four 3-pointers after not scoring Monday. She hit a half-court shot at the first half buzzer to give L/O a 22-13 halftime edge. Paige Conner and Lexi Loftus added 13 points each. “Three players in double digits was key but I feel we had some energy off of our defense and press. It’s still a work in progress but will get better,” Rapp said. The Lady Lions return to action at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, against Stark County. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews. com.
Anna Murray led all scorers with 17 points while junior Courtney Oeder chipped in 14 for the Tigress offense. • The Tigresses opened tournament play with a 47-17 win over Henry Monday.

Devils From Page 14 and Drew Pullam. The pair of senior forwards started for the Red Devils last season and will also don the title of co-captains. “They’re our captains and have the most experience at this level on the team so I look to them. They were great for us on the football field and I look for them to carry that success onto the basketball court,” Filippini said. “Drew was second team all conference last year and he’ll look to score. We’re also looking for Chris to kind of come into his own and make plays for us as well, so I’m definitely looking for them to handle the scoring load for us.” Pullam returns as the centerpiece

Bureau County Republican • bcrnews.com to the Red Devils’ offense, bringing with him an average of 13.2 ppg and 6.6 rebounds per game along with a knack for knocking down the trey as he drained 62 from behind the arc a season ago. With only four practices before their first game, competition for the final three spots is thick with seven players battling for playing time. The list includes senior Patrick Einhaus, junior Kyle Follmer and sophomores Alex Castelan and Brant Vanaman at guard and juniors Nick Edgcomb and Kieran Trevier and soph Cam McDonald at forward. The Red Devils typically lack height year-in and year-out, but boast three players this year in Trevier, Pullam and senior forward Adam Sangston that clock in at 6 feet 3 inches tall.
Storm From Page 14 bench, but this year will be looked upon as leaders of the young Storm squad. “They’ve got a lot of varsity experience, even though they didn’t start last year, they kind of know what the expectation is,” Marquis said. “They’ve done a great job being vocal in practice and leading by example. I think the young kids look up to them and respect them.” Fordham’s role last year was a three-point specialist, but in summer league the coaching staff prohibited him from taking any threes
“We haven’t had a 6’3” kid in a while so three is a big step up for us in the height department,” Filippini said. “We’ll actually start a few guys over 6’0”, which we haven’t had at Hall over the last five or six seasons. We’ve had to basically start four guards and a forward in the past, so it’ll be good to have some longer kids out there for us.” Five other Red Devils look to make their mark coming off the bench as three juniors, Max Marquez (5-9/G), Kendall Cinotte (5-9/G) and Simon Burcham (5-11/F), jockey for playing time with senior Victor Campos (5-10/F). The Red Devils tip off at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3, at Seneca against Ottawa Marquette. Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com.
and to focus on attacking the basket. Marquis says there is more to his game than just being a jump shooter. “People will be surprised,” he said. Dale is a good finisher around the basket and will add defense and rebounding. He is tied with Rusty Fargher for the tallest player on the varsity roster at 6-3. Corbin Endress, who was called up to the varsity team as a freshman with a couple of weeks left in the season, will be joined by classmate Spencer Marquez to make up the Storm’s starting backcourt. Also being called up from the underclassmen ranks is freshman Nate Paup, a 6-2 guard.
Senior Yulian Osorio and juniors Matt Paup, Hunter Sebby and Jay Edlefson, round out the roster. “We’ve got a small group but they all get along well,” Marquis said. “I think I’m most excited to see how this group defends and rebounds. The offense will come. The great teams defend and rebound all day, every day, from day one to the end of the year. We’ve spent a lot of time on that. I’m excited to see the fruits of that.” The Storm will open the season on Monday, Nov. 23, at the Wally Keller Tournament, hosted by Wethersfield. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.
Hieronymus From Page 13 He implored them, more like demanded them to make a defensive stop with the Knights facing a key fourth-down play. They did that and then some, throwing the EIC quarterback for a nineyard loss. That led to a Tiger touchdown in the final seconds of the half to keep the Tigers in the ball game at 21-12. Even in the final minutes of the game facing imminent defeat, Snyder instructed his players to wrap up on defense and keep the legs moving on offense. He coached to the final buzzer just like he did in 2012 and 2013 when they were losing all their games instead of winning them. Snyder forever gained my respect and admiration by what may seem like a simple gesture, but one that will be forever lasting in the minds of one of the young men he coached. When PHS junior Blake Janssen took a hard shot to the midsection Saturday, one that sent him to the hospital for examination, Snyder knelt down and held Janssen’s hand while he was being attended to. That was the coach’s way of letting his player, his team, know they are his family, and will always be. You can bet Janssen will
know where he can always go 10, 15 years down the road if he ever needs a friend. “I felt really supported and know whatever happened that him and my team would be there for me,” Janssen said. “Coach Snyder cares very much what happens to his players and he makes sure they will be OK in the end.” The Tigers laid it all out on the line for their coach, and their coach gave it all back. He is our Coach of the Year. • PHS history: The one-loss season has been duplicated by just two teams to play football for the state’s oldest township school dating back to the 1800s. The last was the 1979 squad that went 8-1, its lone loss to Geneseo (20-14) in Week 5. In that era, only the conference champions qualified for playoffs and that strong Tiger team featuring allstate running back Pete Roth stayed home. The 1933 Tigers went 7-1, their lone loss at the hands of Ottawa (12-6) in Week 6. Researching the ol’ Hieronymus files further, four Tiger teams had just one loss, but at least one tie. They include 1929 (7-1-1), 1948 (7-1-2), 1954 (7-1-1) and 1967 (7-1-1). Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor and has covered Princeton football since the 1987 season.
