Hall projects stable tax rate Board looks at school’s graduation rate By Becky Kramer news@bcrnews.com
SPRING VALLEY — Superintendent Mike Struna presented the tentative 2016 tax levy to the board during Wednesday night’s Hall High School Board meeting. Struna says there is a projected 1 percent growth in local equalized assessed valuation, with the total amount of bonds to be levied equal to last year’s tax levy. Struna is projecting the total tax rate will remain the same or possibly drop by 1 cent. The board is expected to vote on the levy at the December board meeting. Also at the meeting, the board approved a suicide and depression awareness and prevention policy. The plan is consistent with Ann Marie’s Law and includes
curriculum for students through health classes, staff development, procedures for identification and referral, a response plan for death or suicide, and parental notification of the plan in the handbook. The crisis plan includes a list of crisis team members at Hall and crisis team members in the community. It clearly outlines the responsibilities of the superintendent, principal, crisis team leader, assistant principal, teachers and staff members. The plan also includes how the crisis team will communicate with students, parents and the press. Principal Jesse Brandt updated the board on how Hall fared on the Illinois School Report Card. The main concern is the graduation rate which dropped to 74 percent in 2015. The dropout rate was 6 percent which is signifi-
“If we can keep kids in school, then we can get them the help they need to graduate.” Jesse Brandt, Hall principal cantly higher than the state average of 2 percent. Brandt said improving these areas are a main goal of the school improvement team. Many interventions have been put in place to ensure students stay in school and graduate. “These two areas go hand in hand. If we can keep kids

LaMoille looks at safety issues
State still lags behind SVE has only received 23.8 percent of general state aid
Repairs set at LaMoille schools By Zachary J. Pratt news@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Superintendent Jim Hermes told the board during Wednesday night’s board meeting the state of Illinois is behind on its payments to Spring Valley Elementary (SVE) School. To date, SVE has received 23.8 percent of the general state aid that is expected for this school year and no money for Early Childhood Education or special education. “I know I said it last month, but we are surviving now on our local tax money,” Hermes said, adding he spoke with Hall Superintendent Mike Struna who believes money will start coming from the state in December, according to an email he received. Hermes discussed some proposed calendar changes for the 2017-18 school year. Hermes said the calendar committee has been meeting and researching a trimester schedule instead of the current quarterly schedule. He explained students are assessed three times a year, and this lines up with the trimester schedule perfectly. The first trimester would end on Nov. 10, and parent teacher conferences would be right after that. Hermes said, “Teachers felt strong that this is the best time to meet with families.” It’s expected the calendar changes will be discussed and voted on during the December meeting. Board members want additional information from schools that are on a trimester schedule before making a final decision. In other discussions, State Bill 2912 passed the House unanimously Wednesday morning. According to

LAMOILLE — The district’s safety inspection was on the minds of the LaMoille School Board at its meeting Thursday, Nov. 17. The LaMoille School District has received its annual safety inspection. Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza said there are some aspects the district needs to work on, however, there are others which he finds debatable. “Some of these are recurring violations from last year,” Espinoza said, adding some of the violations should not need to be dealt with. “There are things in here that need fixed,” he clarified, but other elements are a matter of aesthetics, or in the case of Allen Junior High School, of retaining the building’s historic nature. “Allen, you can make the case that it’s historical,” Espinoza said. Because of the structure’s historic value, Espinoza indicated there are some things that should not be altered, so as to preserve the building’s integrity, however, he said the Regional Office of Education does not always agree. “We debate back and forth,” Espinoza said. Nevertheless, these disagreements will not hinder progress on violations which need to be addressed. “We’re going to work diligently and work real hard with our architect to make sure what needs to be done gets done,” Espinoza said. Also at the meeting, the board learned the district’s buildings will be undergoing repairs this holiday season, with stair tread work commencing at the junior high, as well as window work at the high school.

‘A time to gather’ Churches band together to provide 16th annual Thanksgiving dinner for all By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — Some people host Thanksgiving dinner, and others only need to make a short trip to see their families. Many of the rest are part of the busiest travel time of the year. There are others though — those unable to make the long trip home, those without families, and also those who can’t travel. Members of the Evangelical Covenant Church, the New Hope Church of the Nazarene and the St. Louis Catholic Church have united to help ensure everyone enjoys a Thanksgiving meal and a sense of family. The 16th annual free Thanksgiving Day
dinner will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Evangelical Covenant Church in Princeton. Event coordinator Shirley Peterson has successfully organized the dinner for 11 years. With the help of approximately 25 volunteers, the members of the three churches can serve more than 100 dinners and deliver approximately 70. There are no RSVPs needed to attend the dinner. For transportation, delivery or carry-outs, call Marianne at 815-875-2124. Peterson said, “There are a lot of people who are alone on Thanksgiving, and there are also shut-ins who have no way of traveling. This dinner helps us bring some sunshine into their lives on Thanksgiving.”

First Lutheran’s gift to the community ... Old-fashioned Christmas Carol Sing-a-Long set for Nov. 27
“This is not a spectator sport.”
By Terri Simon tsimon@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — With the holidays just a hop, skip and jump down the road, one’s gift-giving list will begin to grow — both in items to buy and money to spend. For many, the list will be long, and the pockets will need to be deep. But in the chaos of the Christmas season, First Lutheran Church of Princeton again wants to offer a gift from the heart — one that doesn’t cost a dime and clearly resonates with the spirit of the Christmas season. It’s the church’s gift to the community — no strings attached. Set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27, at First Lutheran Church, 116 N. Pleasant St., Princeton, the fourth annual Christmas Carol Sing-a-Long promises to be as impressive as the three before it. This year will no doubt be a repeat performance, as First Lutheran gets ready to invite the entire community to come celebrate the holiday with them through song and music. Formerly spearheaded by the late Dick Dorsch, First Lutheran’s worship committee is now organizing the popular event, which includes an hour to an hour and one-half of Christmas carols, music and fellowship. June Ohlson is the chairperson of the worship committee. “Our whole intent is we want people to come and enjoy singing their favorite Christmas carols ... This is not a wor-

They will perform a variety of holiday selections throughout the event on Sunday, Nov. 27. ship service,” Ohlson emphasized. “It’s fun; it’s good old-fashioned Christmas carol fun.” This year’s event will be a bit different from the past three events. Previously, organist Larry Peterson of Augustana College Campus Ministries accompa-
nied event-goers with his organ music. Since Peterson has moved out of the area, local musicians have stepped into offer their musical talents. To add to the incredible sound of an entire church collectively singing Christmas carols, Kathy Allen will be
accompanying singers on the piano, and the Monarch Brass Quintet will play several selections as well. The Monarch Brass Quintet is comprised of Ann Lusher, horn; John Armstrong, trumpet; Barb Kinzer, trumpet; Ron Makeever, trombone; and David Peterson, tuba. Dale Fiste will emcee the event. Those who attend are encouraged to dress casually, sing their hearts out and enjoy the sound of a sanctuary filled with music and voices. There is no charge to attend, and no freewill offering will be solicited. Event-goers are encouraged to enjoy refreshments and camaraderie in the church’s fellowship hall after the singa-long. The event is not a religious-based activity, rather a time for area folks to gather together and sing Christmas carols they know and love. The church is completely handicapped accessible at the corner of Putnam and Pleasant streets, and there will be folks on hand to help open the doors and make sure everyone gets inside to enjoy the music and fun.

in school, then we can get them the help they need to graduate,” Brandt said. The positive news is the percentage of freshmen on track to graduate was 78 percent last year and is 87 percent this year. The state average is 82 percent. Brandt said the improvement is due to great work through RTI homeroom. Students who are failing classes go to a special homeroom where they receive help with assignments and also are learning organizational skills. “If we can keep these kids on track by junior year

Hermes, this bill is intended to help curb the current substitute teacher shortage and streamline license reciprocity for educators trained outside of Illinois. The bill reduces substitute teaching license fees from $100 to $50 and creates a one-year grace period for retired teachers with lapsed licenses to bring their license into good standing without fines or coursework, allowing them to substitute teach. The bill also prevents educators who retire mid-cycle from lapsing their licenses, allowing them to substitute

through the interventions that are in place, then we should see a significant increase in the graduation rate in two years,” Brandt said. Hall students did not participate in the PARCC assessment. In other business: • Struna publicly thanked everyone who was involved in making the Veterans Day program a great experience for students, staff and the veterans who attended. The board also thanked Struna for all of his hard work organizing the event. • The board approved the Blue Cross Blue Shield renewal with a 1 percent total decrease, noting this is
the first time in a long time the premiums decreased. • The Affordable Care Act fee of $1,725 was eliminated. • The insurance committee will be shopping for dental and life insurance. • The board accepted with regret the resignation of Nick Hanck as assistant football coach. • The board hired Carrie Curtis as a teacher’s aide in the life skills classroom. • Cody Burroughs and Tyler Thompson were named as volunteer basketball coaches.

ISBE will be able to grant licenses based on comparable out-of-state licenses, instead of comparing prep programs from other states In other business: • Hermes met with board members Jim Faletti and Jack Kusek last month to discuss the architect search. School board members will now look at the information collected and decide who to interview, which could happen as soon as January. The committee was helping to narrow down the search to several candidates. One firm attended Wednes-
day night’s meeting to introduce themselves and answer questions. • Hermes read the travel reimbursement policy which will go into effect next school year. This also will be voted on in December. • Hermes heard iPads will not work for PARCC testing this spring. Hermes is concerned because there is no quick solution to this problem that won’t cost a large amount of money. He is addressing the issue with the Illinois State Board of Education.

By waiting until this time to have the work completed, Espinoza said the district saved $10,000 on the stair tread project. The projects will take approximately two weeks to complete. Also, LaMoille is preparing its students to WORK. Partnering with area industries, LaMoille is preparing the Illinois Workforce Opportunities Readiness Coalition (WORK), with the goal of helping students pick up trade skills and ready them for an economic environment. With changing targets, the district sees a necessity to keep an eye on the skills students will need upon graduation. “What do the businesses need from these kids?” board President Jeff Pinter asked. The project is also intended to benefit the school district in other ways. “One of the things we want to come out of this is area for grants,” Espinoza said of the grassroots effort, indicating a desire that businesses might see the project to be worth investment.

LAMOILLE — LaMoille School District is gearing up for its involvement in the STEA2M Conference this coming March. As the months roll by, the preparations continue for the STEA2M Conference. STEA2M stands for science, technology, engineering, art, agriculture and math. Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza is preparing for a large turnout. “We’re going to invite 70 school districts,” he said. The district is leveraging its partnership with Dell electronics to provide giveaways and prizes. “I asked for 70 devices to give away that day,” Espinoza said. This would be one device available for each invited district. An event this size needs people to lend a hand, and the district’s relationship with the Community Partnership Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) has provided aid in that regard. Because of this relationship, CPASA has offered to provide volunteers for the event, which opens up further possibilities. One aspect this helps with is the students’ involvement in the c2onference. Without the additional help, some of the students might have been limited to helping manage the event. “If we have enough volunteers, I think our kids can compete,” Espinoza said. The STEA2M Conference is set for March 14, 2017, at Illinois Valley Community College.

It’s all about the timing The Thanksgiving celebrations in my 50-plus years have been a conglomeration of varied circumstances — from intimate family gatherings with just a few people ... to large, rambunctious crowds of wayward musicians in Nashville, Tenn., who had nowhere else to go ... to a couple of us deciding to drink our holiday away Terri at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, also in NashSimon ville, where we drank coffee out of Styrofoam COMMENTARY cups and switched to something much more intoxicating as the day wore on ... to last year when a turkey sandwich at Arby’s turned out to be my Thanksgiving feast. In other words, Thanksgiving in my world has run the gamut — each celebration creating a host of memories that still, to this day, tug at my heart. I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world. With the exception of the Tootsie’s event (and it was an event) and the Arby’s turkey sandwich, the majority of my Thanksgiving memories revolve around a feast with all the fixings. For the last several years, that feast ended up on my agenda, and even though I begrudgingly took on the task, it always concluded with it being a labor of love for those who would ultimately be seated at a beautifully decorated table(s) in my home. For that, I am now thankful, though at the time, I was a hot mess trying to coordinate all those homemade and traditional dishes. There’s an art to it, you know ... getting all those steaming hot dishes mixed with all those refrigerated ones ready at the same time. My grandma and my mom made it look easy. I make it look like the giant fiasco it often is. Let me take a step back here and tell you I am one of those people who believe hot food should be served piping hot, and cold food should be served immediately after it is taken out of the refrigerator. I don’t want anything to be even remotely lukewarm or cool. It’s got to be hot or cold — nothing in between. It makes me crazy(ier). Personally, I think it’s an admirable trait, and the health department probably smiles at my wisdom. Nobody will go home from my house with any foodborne illness from something served at an inappropriate temperature. Furthermore, the taste of the food will be at its peak, since after all ... hot food should be served hot, and cold food should be served cold. But somewhere years ago, some well-meaning friend or relative (I can’t exactly remember, though I’m fairly sure it was a relative) decided on a tradition that has stood the test of time — with that hot/cold meal perfectly placed on that beautiful table, why don’t we go around the room and tell one thing for which we are thankful. What? OK, it’s a nice idea — an admirable one to say the least, but you want to do this now when the fried onions on my green bean casserole are getting soggy and the gravy is already starting to congeal in a way that makes me want to head to Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and forget the whole thing? Come on ... And so we do it ... one by one ... we go around the room and deliver our thankful messages to the rest of those in attendance. There are smiles ... sometimes a few tears ... quick short answers and long drawn-out responses (my worst nightmare) ... and the Jell-O salad watches and weeps ... literally. OK, I actually love this tradition, but the timing is awful. Just ask the mashed potatoes, Grandma’s bread stuffing and the turkey, which is getting drier by the moment. They are on my side, I’m sure. Why don’t we do the “I’m thankful” prayer, start passing those hot/ cold dishes and then tell each other through mouthfuls of temperature-appropriate food how thankful we are for whatever lives in our hearts? Seems like a good solution to me. Of course, I’m just trying to have a little fun now. Telling each other how thankful we are is a wonderful tradition, and other than the timing, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. I’m thankful for you ...

A holiday crisis ... again? America’s next crisis most likely started around the Halloween holiday. Many Americans buy more candy than they give away to the children trick or treating. Since we want to be thrifty and most of us like candy, we keep it. We hold on to the candy to demonstrate that we are good stewards of money. We also hold on to it just to eat a piece or two or three every day. I’ve held on to Halloween candy before and eaten handfuls of it in a day. I normally gain weight if I eat more than 2,000 calories a day. This proves I’m not exercising enough even though I might work off a couple of hundred calories at the gym — on some days. I used to exercise 90 minutes or even two hours and could still gain weight, since I have the ability to eat more than I work off on a treadmill. Next comes the Thanksgiving holiday. I love Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for like most Americans. My wife has already been making and freezing cookies. The problem is I know that they are in the freezer, and I know where to find them in the freezer. I can take one out at a time and put it in the microwave. Occasionally I have taken two out of the freezer. I hope we have some left by the time Thanksgiving is actually here. For some reason after Thanksgiving is over, we begin to really settle in to the holiday spirit. Christmas programs, parades and all the festive songs begin airing on the radio. Something sort of comes over me with festive singing, dancing and holiday cheer. A glass of eggnog from the grocery store which is loaded with calories and fat is so delicious. Of course, who can ever have just one glass of eggnog?
Glenn Mollette COMMENTARY I am blessed in that our freezer is full in preparation for Thanksgiving. My wife has been the commander in chief in regards to our meal the last few years. She has learned how to prepare far in advance of the big day. In times past, she co-chaired this event with her mother. Her mom has spent the last few years in and out of the hospital and nursing home, and so Carole has carried the ball of cooking the big meals. We will have plenty to eat, and for that I am very grateful. The only problem is that by about Jan. 1, I will be standing on the scale shaking my head. “Whoa is me ... or whoa is my weight!” I’ll likely exclaim. I keep reading articles that Americans only gain about one pound during the holiday season. However, if we only gain one pound a holiday season and never lose it, then after a few years we are in very sad shape. Sadly too many Americans are in very bad physical shape. Let me quickly stop here and say, I think I gain three or four pounds around Christmas and then have to work all winter to lose it, and so far I have. However, losing weight just simply gets harder all the time. We smile and know we all fight this battle of eating too much and exercising too little. Unfortunately it’s nothing to really smile that much about. We kill ourselves eating too much and eating the wrong foods. Too many Americans are obese. That only leads to serious
health problems from heart issues to cancer and to diabetes. Diabetes is such a chronic problem in America. There are different numbers on diabetes. About 30 million people in our country are struggling with this health dilemma. Millions of people are undiagnosed. Diabetes leads to blindness, kidney failure and amputations of feet and legs. There is nothing pretty about diabetes. I confess I eat too much sugar. Overall I eat too much of everything. I’ve always tried to work out, but it takes balance in eating, routine exercise and a mentality of trying to live healthy. We are in a crisis in America due to health care costs. We can’t afford our medical insurance, and it’s almost always financially painful to go the doctor. I see people in nursing homes who are too young to be there. They have become physically dilapidated and unable to care for themselves. The estimated annual health care cost of obesity-related illnesses are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21 percent of annual medical spending in the United States. Childhood obesity alone is responsible for $14 billion in direct medical costs.(healthcommunitieshealthfuture.org) There are all kinds of scenarios. Some people inherit diabetes, fight it hard and still lose the battle. Lately, I’ve seen this in my own family. My challenge to me is to try to get ahead of this and not let eating bad, inactivity and extra weight become a holiday crisis ... again.

Considerations by Nedda I am glad November is here. All the past events seemed so important, and of course they are, but now we can focus on Thanksgiving. You know how I feel about our great national holiday. It is ours to treasure with no obligation. Have snacks for Thanksgiving; just be together. Have everybody give at least one blessing for which they are grateful. I have a lot of them. My personal blessings are watching the trees glow with color and see a cat curl up on the bird feeder and go to sleep. (He just as well, he will never catch a bird.) Having a friend drag me into a joke with a huge hook and then dash my hopes he will vote for my candidate! I love humor and people who laugh at things. The ability to see the positive in life and feel the energy of my own and other’s hope. The universe, that holds secrets that beg us to learn more and occasionally give us poor humans a glimpse
Nedda Simon COMMENTARY
of the real story. A simple flower that blooms when its season is gone reminding us to hold on. A call to hear a dearest friend has pulled through a very serious health incident, and the joy of hearing the messenger’s voice hitch with a little cry of relief. The generous community I live in that gives to others without a pause or question. We surely get all riled up about some things, and it might be wise for us elders to calm things down a little by reminding others that “this too will pass,” and we will do better next time. It is scary for younger people to see their plans seem to have gone awry; but it is our job, I think, to reassure
them and tell them to try again. Hope and encouragement go a long way. Young folks sometimes think we didn’t fail or struggle with decisions or life events, and it helps them to know that others have walked in that path. We simply show we made it, a little ragged maybe, but we made it. They don’t need a lecture when they are scared. Let us get out ourselves. Let us be civil, more compassionate and caring for the other person. Put down all the cell phones, turn off the TV and “noise” and look at each other and listen. Really look at them and see yourself with their pain, joys and struggles. Give up what you thought you knew at truth. Forget what others have told you as the truth. Make up your own mind and find love for others, forgiveness of others, and maybe we can all heal. Nedda Simon of rural Princeton can be reached at neddasimon@ ymail.com.

graphed by instructor Don Grant Zellmer, produced and costumed by Dr. David Kuester with technical direction by Matt Boehm, the show combines the musical talent from performers in the theatre department as well as the IVCC Show Choir, comprised of community members, alumni, current students and faculty.

hurtled toward me. Clink! I had raised my shield and the spear had hit it instead of me. “Hey, Jeffrey,” I yelled. “Remember our favorite video game, Tiki Hunter 5000?” “What’s that got to do with anything?” Jeffrey yelled. “What if we took some moves from the game?” I called back. “You know, divide and conquer?” “Okay, I’ll be the bait, but you owe me big time,” he answered. “Deal. I guess it’s now or never,” I said. With a battle cry, Jeffrey ran in the opposite direction, taunting the tikis as he went. “Hey, losers! I’m over here!” he yelled. The tikis fell for it and ran at Jeffrey as the tiki clerk shouted out more orders. Those tikis really didn’t like being called losers and all their attention was focused on Jeffrey. This was my chance. I quickly darted behind some big rocks and snuck
up behind the wooden tiki clerk. “Hey, bark breath. Guess who?” I asked. As the tiki whirled around to face me, I noticed a glowing blue necklace around her neck. A glowing necklace can’t be a good thing, I thought. So I reached out and ripped it off her neck. The second it was in my hands, the tikis stopped trying to attack Jeffrey, who was cowering behind a big rock and yelling for me to hurry up. They turned and bowed before me. I was apparently their new leader.

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 our lives. Rural and urban communities working together have made the most of our rich agricultural resources, and they continue to contribute to the health and well being of our people and to the strength of our economy. In recognition of National Farm City week, the Bureau County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee donated enough food to provide Thanksgiving dinner for 155 people.

PRINCETON — Since our earliest days as a nation, farmers have tilled the soil of this great land, feeding their families, other citizens and people around the world. Throughout the years, our 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. This 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, farmers and ranchers contribute to a quality of life in the 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
Historically, soil temperatures are approximately 8 degrees cooler in mid-November. The higher soil temperatures track the trend seen with the current air temperatures. Illinois air temperatures were 6.3 degrees above the longterm average on Nov. 15. The National Weather Service is predicting cooler weather for the state this weekend and early next week. Lower soil temperatures should follow. Soil moisture peaked on Nov. 3 after the rains that fell on most of the state the first days of the month. Since that time, soil moisture at 2-inch depths have declined an average of 18 percent as of Nov. 15. Similar trends were seen at 4- and 8-inch

Tigers competing in practice By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com
The Princeton Tigers graduated 11 seniors from last year’s squad and in the process they lost a lot of experience. The nucleus of three seniors Colby Robbins, Jake Farraher and Colton Youngren provide the building blocks to what could be another successful campaign for the Tigers this year. “Those three will be our leaders on the court and off the court,” PHS coach Michael Fredericks said. “They saw valuable minutes for us last season and we expect them to take care of business on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Their experience will be invaluable to helping us be successful this season.” Losing that many seniors is often difficult to overcome, but this Tigers squad is made up entirely of juniors and seniors and they hope to rattle the cages of many teams in the area and finally break through for a regional championship after being denied in the title game the last two years.

The St. Bede Academy Bruins have a new head coach in Brian Hanson, but the familiarity between “new” coach Brian Hanson and the Bruins will aide in an easy transition. After spending five years as assistant varsity and head sophomore coach under former head coach Mike Kilmartin, Hanson steps into a new role as the new leader as he was named head coach at the conclusion of last season. SBA expected to have a fairly lethal 1-2 punch in talented guard/forward Jon Dose and returning Second Team All-Conference selection Braidy Shipp. Shipp, however, may be lost for the season due to a knee injury suffered during football. Dose brings back an 11 ppg scoring clip and was the Bruins’ second leading rebounder last season. “We’ve been trying to get guys in tune with different roles because they may be asked to do some different things this year without having Shipp,”

Last year’s advancement: Lost to Rockridge 48-44 in regional finals.
The focus of many defenses will be the 6-2 guard Robbins and his ability to shoot from outside the arc (39.1) as well as attack the basket (12 ppg) and find open teammates with 1.6 assists a season ago. Height will not be an issue for the Tigers as they have 10 players standing over 6-foot tall. The com-

With a win Friday, the Lady Panthers would vault into Saturday’s championship game at 7:30 p.m. Visit www.bcrnews.com/sports for updates. “We talked about it before the game. Stark County’s going to be sitting in that championship game. Princeton played them last year. I knew Princeton wanted that chance, that opportunity to play against Stark County,” PC coach Jared Sale said. “It was a huge win for us. We prepared for it. The key is if we want to be in the championship Saturday night, but we have to take care of business (Friday). We’re going to celebrate this tonight. The clock hits midnight, we have to turn to Streator (Friday).” Earlier Thursday, Stark County (2-0) outlasted Bureau Valley 53-46 in overtime and Streator beat Midland 57-26.

Injuries, Cavs get best of Lady Bruins By Dan Dwyer sports@bcrnews.com
A wide range of factors came into play as the St. Bede Lady Bruins suffered its third loss in four days Thursday at the academy. Practice and hard work can’t prepare you for the injury bug or the tall task of playing four quality teams in four straight nights. The Lady Bruins had to deal with both as they dropped to 1-3 Thursday night during a 54-41 defeat at the hands of rival LaSalle-Peru Lady Cavaliers in the Temples Thanksgiving Tournament put on by Geneseo. Playing without two starters, sophomore Maggie Sons and senior Emily Edwall, due to injuries suffered Wednesday evening, the Lady Bruins
could have hung their heads in the face of a bigger, more experienced team. Instead the Lady Bruins showed their home crowd the fight and the heart of a Bruin. “My girls played excellent tonight,” SBA coach Tom McGunnigal said. “I don’t think in my entire time coaching I’ve ever glowed so much after a defeat. The strides that they took and the pride they played with was great.” L-P coach Hollis Vickery knew St. Bede would come to play despite facing adversity. “I don’t care who they have out there, we have to be ready. They’re still going to give us a good game and they’re not going to give up,” he said. “St. Bede had a great effort tonight.

New coaches abound in tourney By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com
There’s been a changing of the guard among coaches in the Princeton Holiday Tournament with four new head coaches in charge this year. Tiffany Gonigam has jumped county lines from BV to Princeton. She has brought along former BV assistants Abbi Bosnich and Wayne Bailey to the PHS staff. Former BV player Val Reuter has also made the trip to BV East with Gonigam. Jim Nugent took over for Gonigam at the midnight hour to replace Spencer Davis, who never coached a game in his BV tenure. Bobby Wilson moved up as head coach at LaMoille/Ohio, adding his wife, Melissa, as assistant. Ruark Crowley is the new head coach at Henry. Jared Sale is in just second year at Putnam County. • Stark reality: Stark County has won three straight tourney titles at Princeton and six since 2008, all under veteran coach Scott Paxson. • Did you know?: Midland coach Jim Foster was a starter for Ralph Hallam’s 1988-89 BCR photo/Kevin Hieronymus undefeated team at the former Mid-County district.

Girls From Page 11 hoops for Princeton. The Tigresses closed the gap in the fourth quarter, outscoring PC 17-9, including a 3-pointer by Anna Murray in the final seconds. Princeton coach Tiffany Gonigam was happy to see the Tigresses keep battling. “We weren’t shooting the ball very well first half and got a little defeated,” Gonigam said. “We were able to get a spark at the end of the game, which was good to see. I felt like we had gotten down a little on ourselves a little bit. Thankfully we were able to come back and make it another push there.” Sale said PC gameplanned to slow down Princeton’s 1-2 punch of Anna Murray (19 points) and Courtney Oeder (6). They combined for 25 points, but had tallied 36 the first night and 34 the second. To accomplish that feat, Sale said the Lady Panthers doubled Oeder out of the zone and handed Murray off through the zone,
“making sure we knew where she was going at all times. “When you look at Anna Murray and Courtney Oeder, obviously (they’re) one of the top duos in the area. When they’re running on all cylinders and you don’t game-plan for them, you can run into a lot of trouble,” Sale added. “We game-planned to what we thought would be the best way to defend them and take them out of the basketball game and we executed it.” PC got balanced scoring by its trio of Presley Hatton (15 points), Paige Veronda (11) and Kaitlyn Edgcomb (10). Sale said he’s been waiting for Hatton to reach her potential. “She has all the right tools to be a great basketball player and she’s finally putting that together,” he said. Stark County 53, BV 46 (OT): The Lady Rebels took control early in overtime by scoring the first five points. BV got a pair of free throws before Stark County closed out the win with four unanswered points. The Storm led by as much as seven points, outscoring the Lady Rebels 19-10 in the third quarter.
Saige Barnett led the Storm on a 10-0 run to close out the third quarter with two treys and a drive to take a 33-26 lead. The Rebels turned to their post power with Jenna Ehnle scoring 12 of her game-high points in the fourth quarter to take a 44-39 lead. The Storm finished on a 5-0 run, using a basket by Christen Hurley to tie the game with 14 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Barnett and Hurley each scored 13 points before fouling out. “It was a hard fought game on both sides. The game ultimately came down to free throws, they hit their free throws and we didn’t,” BV coach Jim Nugent said. Notes: PC’s Sale wanted to take care of business on the court Friday, because he didn’t want to worry about the free-throw percentage tie-breaker. “I know we’re shooting about 50 percent,” he said. Streator held the edge through Thursday at 56 percent with PC at 54 percent and Princeton at 43 percent. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Princeton has an abundance of guards vying for playing time in seniors Jeremiah Lindell and Brent Loftus. Those two seniors have a whole crew of juniors nipping at their heels for court time on perimeter as juniors Mason Nave, Ian Legner, Keaton Burress and Christian Parry all have their eyes on playing time. The forward position is just as cluttered as the guard positions with seniors Luke Schultz and Jacob Gibson in the mix with junior Alexander Janssen for playing time. “We have that competition in practice and anybody can work themselves into playing time
on this team,” Fredericks said. “The guys have goals of winning tournaments, winning 20 games over the course of the season and hoisting a regional title. We won’t get to any of those goals without hard work, and the entire team is putting in the work right now to achieve those future goals.” Princeton will get its first crack at the win column against Prophetstown at the Orion 10&32 Tipoff Classic Monday at 5:30 p.m. “The team is very high energy and they work hard,” Fredericks said. “They get along well and with their competitive nature they push each other to become better players and teammates.

time you have a group of upperclassmen that have been playing together for a long time, they know what to expect from varsity basketball and what those tense moments in games feel like,” Hanson said. “Having been in those situations before will only be an advantage for us.” Bruins basketball will get underway at the Blackhawk Center in Oregon for the Oregon Thanksgiving tournament Monday as they take on Dixon at 5:45 p.m. “We need to get ourselves down to business these first two weeks as we get ready for Oregon,” Hanson said. “Our big thing is growing as a team and players individually. We want to prepare ourselves in the short term for the long haul.” Comment on this story at www. bcrnews.com.

St. Bede’s Carly Eustice drives the floor Thursday against L-P.

Lady Bruins From Page 11 (Thea) Mauck and (Chase) Ludford got open for shots and those were the two people that we said couldn’t hurt us.” SBA took an 8-2 lead early in the first quarter on Mauck’s hot shooting as the senior guard poured in six points of her 21 points in the first three minutes of play. Mauck was also tasked with running the point, something she normally wouldn’t be asked to do. “Thea’s eye is on right now. I wanted her to get to 20 points tonight and as soon as she hit that first free throw to get to there, I knew I was going to give her a break and sub her out,” McGunnigal said. “She deserved everything she got tonight and she’s having a great tournament.” The six-point SBA lead was eventually dissolved by the Lady Cavaliers when a 3-pointer from junior post Madison Freeman broke an 8-8 tie with 3:38 to play.
Inexperience from the Bruins was costly as the pressure from the Cavaliers defense forced numerous turnovers. “Pressure got to us because we have inexperience at the wings right now. We had Thea Mauck handling the basketball and she was the only one doing so that has had varsity experience. We had incredible performances individually that led to an excellent team game,” McGunnigal said. “I’m just so proud of them, I am. They should be confident coming out of this and they should be proud of their effort.” Mauck finished with a gamehigh 21 points while sophomore center Naomi Ochuba added eight for the Bruins. L-P junior guard Gena Fassino led the Calvary with 16 points, one of four Cavaliers starters to notch double digits. St. Bede beat Annawan 55-49 Wednesday at the academy. Mauck had 24 points. SBA got a much-needed night off Friday and will resume tournament play at noon Saturday against Chicago A&S at Geneseo.
