Armed robbery

charge filed

Council sets plan of attack

Pull up a bench and sit for a while

By Goldie Curriegcurrie@bcrnews.com

PERU – An armed rob-bery charge has been filed against a Chicago man who allegedly was the gunman involved in the Peru Veri-zon Wireless Store robbery on Aug. 3, which involved the death of Peru K-9 Kali.

Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei announced in a press release that a warrant was obtained for Dennis Clark Jr., 23, on Sept. 3, which was just one month after the robbery.

Clark is currently being held in the DuPage Coun-ty Jail after being charged with a Naperville armed robbery. He will be sched-uled for a LaSalle County Court appearance in the near future. LaSalle Coun-ty Circuit Judge Cynthia Raccuglia has set bond at $1 million.

Bernabei stated in his press release that addition-al charges may be filed later and the investigation is continuing regarding the accessory that drove the getaway vehicle. He com-mended the efforts of all police personnel for their professional response the night of the robbery and through the past month.

“There is no doubt that over the past several years with our close proxim-ity to Chicago and sub-urban communities along the Interstate 80 corridor, there has been an increase in violent criminal groups attempting crimes in the LaSalle County area,” he said. “Some very dangerous people with ties to Chicago organized crime groups have come into our com-munity and have commit-ted or attempted to commit a variety of crimes ranging from armed robbery, busi-ness burglaries and felony retail thefts.”

PRINCETON — After expressing their concerns earlier this year about water and flooding problems in their neighborhoods, two Princeton residents came back to the Princeton City Council to say thank you for the council taking steps to attempt to solve future water problems.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Laura Favia thanked Mayor Keith Cain, city com-missioners and City Manager Jeff Clawson

for moving forward with trying to find some solutions, as shown by the council’s adoption Tuesday night of a two-page sani-tary/ storm sewer plan.

“I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart to see that we are still moving forward on this,” Favia said. “It’s the first time in a long time I can breath a sigh of relief. I just hope we keep moving forward and I hope the problem is solved. Thank you for your long-term commitment. I truly, truly appreciate what you have done in a short period of time.”

Resident Esther Tracey also thanked the council for its action, saying she was encouraged by the plan which “offers some hope that there could be some relief to the problem.”

In describing the two-page plan, Claw-son said he, Superintendent of Streets Steve Wright and Wastewater Treatment Department Superintendent Tim Forristall had reviewed the Farnsworth Group’s sewer system study, presented in August

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District is launching a memorial bench program to place new benches along the walking path at Zearing Park.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the Princeton Park Board reviewed the new bench pro-gram, noting the memorial benches will offer people a great opportunity to remem-ber and honor a person, event or organiza-tion.

Each bench will be 6 feet long, made of a punched Miratherm-perm in a hunter green color and installed on a concrete slab. The total cost of the bench will be either $1,585 or $1,737, depending on the size of the memorial plaque pur-chased to go on the bench.

On Tuesday, executive director Elaine Russell said the memorial benches can be placed anywhere along the walking path at Zearing Park. Currently, there are 16 locations marked on a site hand-out, placed in conjunction with future

picnicking locations, future shade from newly planted trees and potential shel-ters around the pond, she said.

“With almost two miles of path, I think we will have plenty of locations for people desiring benches,” Russell said. “As much as we desire activity, we also enjoy resting and that is what these benches will provide, a relaxing place to stop along their journey and enjoy the outdoors.”

VAN ORIN – The Chris-tian self-defense academy, known as Breakout! Van Orin recently formed a demo team to help spread an anti-bullying message to young people.

Breakout! Van Orin is a unique martial arts school that focuses on Biblical character training. Stu-dents meet weekly at the Van Orin Gospel Church to memorize Bible verses and recite the aims, stu-dent oath and tenets of Tae Kwon Do.

Pastor Jeffery Patrick explained as students progress to higher ranks, they gain more confidence in their ability to defend themselves and also learn about the love of God.

“It is the hope of this ministry that our students will never have to use Tae

Kwon Do to defend them-selves, but in the unfor-tunate case they do, they will be prepared to do so,” he said.

The new demo team will be traveling to schools, churches and civic groups to present a fun and upbeat anti-bullying message.

The team performs cho-reographed self-defense skits, breaking of boards and bricks and special-

ized forms and sequences of techniques designed to highlight the basics of Tae Kwon Do. The skit includes a lot of flying and spinning kicks all done to heart-pounding music.

Breakout! Van Orin is led by Som-Dan Chris-tian Schaffer of Wyanet. His favorite part about teaching is getting to see students’ skills grow over time.

“Some may know a little martial arts before-hand, but just watch-ing how they grow and develop themselves through the martial arts and through the Lord and through the minis-try,” he said.

The academy attracts students from places all over, including LaMoille, Mendota, West Brooklyn, Ohio and Van Orin.

Patrick said having a Christian self-defense/martial arts program in the church allows the sharing of the gospel in a unique manner while offering quality martial arts instruction at a frac-tion of the cost of a secu-lar school.

“Because we are not in the business of mak-ing money, our fees are low, and we even have a family maximum to encourage families to take Tae Kwon Do together,” he said. “Breakout! Van Orin is about families and strengthening the rela-tionship between children and parents. Tae Kwon Do is a vehicle to do this.”

Patrick is a member of the demo team along-side his three children — Scott, a senior; Lindsey, a junior and Joseph, a fresh-man, all at LaMoille High School.

The three students all admit Breakout! Van Orin is a fun, active program to take part in. While Scott said his favorite thing about class is getting to challenge himself with brick and board breaking, Lindsey said she stays motivated to do well in order to keep up with her brothers. Joseph said one of the most impor-tant lessons to learn is self defense.

“Self defense is a com-mon everyday situation. You can either do nothing or protect yourself,” he said.

Doug Harper, who is a fifth-grader at Ohio Grade School, said he enjoys just coming to class to hang out with friends and have fun.

When the demo team performs in schools, the presentation is modi-fied to address character qualities. The demo team is available to visit any church, school or civic group to perform their anti-bullying message. If interested in contacting the demo team, call 815-638-2552.

Third clue released in medallion hunt

ALS is a ‘Payne’

PRINCETON — The search for Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt continues with the release of the third clue:

Sometimes it’s confus-ing where to look first,

A lot of excitement, so please do not burst.

You may need to stand tall or crouch way down low,

But you won’t have to destroy or dig up things that grow.

Our jumble of clues might make your head swim,

Let your mind wander free, as you find a way in.

The medallion is approximately 3-1/2 inches in diameter, 1/8-inch thick and has the Heartland Bank logo on it. It will be hidden on public property within the city limits of Princ-

eton and in a location that will not pose any danger to searchers. The medallion is not hidden at City-County Park, the Bureau County Fair-grounds or at any of the local cemeteries. If you find the medallion, call the phone number that will be attached to it.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt Com-mittee will release clues to the Bureau County Republican and WZOE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The goal of the Heartland Bank Great Medallion Hunt is to provide everyone the opportunity to get caught up in the spirit of the annual Homestead Festival and get it off to a great start. Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt is open to everyone except families associat-ed with Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

Walk to support research, patient

care

Shaw Media Service

AMBOY/WALNUT— Although it’s on their hearts and minds year-round, this is the month one local fam-ily, and their friends and supporters, strap on their war gear to fight ALS.

Their war gear? Their walking shoes.

ALS stands for amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis. It’s also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous ballplayer who died of the degenerative muscle dis-ease that eventually robs its victims of the ability to walk, swallow, speak and breathe.

The Payne family, of the Amboy and Walnut areas, have lost 18 loved ones to

ALS, and two more now are dealing with it.

They will be taking part in the 12th annual Les Turner ALS Walk4Life, Sept. 22 at Soldier Field in Chicago, which raises money for research and patient care.

They invite any and all to take part, too, or to donate to the effort.

Check-in starts at 9:30 and the walk at 11 a.m. There will be an opening

ceremony, refreshments, music, merchandise, raf-fles, blood drive, perfor-mances by cheerleaders and tumblers, art displays, and a children’s fun fair with a stilt walker, balloon artists, face painters, and a bounce house.

Handicap parking spots also are available for ALS patients in the lower level of the Waldron parking garage, south of the field on 18th Street. Email

Megan Gaffney at mgaff-ney@lesturnerals.org to reserve one.

This is one of the world’s largest ALS gatherings, with thousands of people walking in support or in memory of loved ones. The walk raised $849,516 last year, and $8 million in its 11-year history.

To help, the Payne fam-ily requests contributions to ALS Therapy Develop-ment Institute and the

Muscular Distrophy Asso-ciation’s ALS Division. People may donate at donatcommunity.als.net/paynefamilyfund.

Go to www.alswalk4life.org or find “Les Turner ALS FOUNDATION” on Facebook for more infor-mation, or to register. People may also contact Connie Becker at paynei-ntheals@yahoo.com or 773-550-4059 for ways to support the Payne family.

On Aug. 3, Peru Police responded to the Verizon Wireless Store, located north of Peru. A 9-1-1 call reported two black males, one armed with a handgun, had just robbed the business. Five officers were dispatched to the scene. While en route, Peru Police K-9 Officer Art Smith was involved in

a traffic crash at the inter-section of Route 251 and Wenzel Road. As a result of the accident, Smith’s partner, Kali, was ejected from the patrol vehicle and died later that night.

Bernabei stated since that evening, an inten-sive investigation into the robbery has been con-ducted by detectives from the Peru Police Depart-ment who coordinated their efforts with numer-

ous federal and Chicago suburban police agencies.

“It is my belief that our aggressive policing of these crimes coupled with tough prosecution from the LaSalle County State Attorney’s office are sending a strong sig-nal that these crimes will simply not be tolerated in Peru and all of LaSalle County,” he said.

to the council, and were in agreement that some of the simpler items could be completed this fall. As more revenue is received through the recently approved rate increases, the larger projects can be tackled, Clawson said.

Steps to be taken this fall in the Green-croft Subdivision include the installation of a dia-phragm at the intersec-tion of Greencroft and Mayfair Drive to allow water to flow into the manhole but not back into the lateral and also adding more sealant to a

low lying manhole.Also this fall, the city

will install inlets in the Dover Road area around St. Matthew’s Church to increase the volume of water that will be direct-ed underground to the Skin Creek storm sewer. The plan also calls for the hiring of a company to do smoke testing and televis-ing of the entire 24-inch sanitary sewer main from its inception around the east city limits line to the wastewater treatment plant.

Future steps included in the plan are determin-ing the need for addi-tional detention sites, enhancing the sanitary

and storm sewer maps, and implementing a sewer replacement pro-gram.

Following Tuesday’s meeting, Mayor Keith Cain said the schedule set up in the plan is one which the city should have no problem in keep-ing. There are a lot of things which the plan covers, but the city can’t guarantee the plan will take care of 100 percent of the problem. These steps will definitely help the situation, but if it doesn’t help enough, then the city will know it needs to go another avenue.

In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, the park board approved the budget and appropria-tions ordinance for the fiscal year beginning July 1, and ending June 30, 2014.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the FY 14 budget shows total appro-priations in all funds of $2,971,950, and total new revenue of $2,004,080. The park district began FY 14 with cash on hand of $933,785, another $46,395 in the Corporate Emergency Fund and

$35,000 in the Enterprise/Metro Center Emergency Fund. With those factors included, the park dis-trict has a total projected revenue of $3,019,260 for the FY 14.

The park district will live a little below its means, Russell said.

In still other business at Tuesday’s meeting, the park board discussed the recently completed Phase 1 parking lot project at the Metro Center, which included the removal and paving of the center island designating park-ing spaces for patrons and the resurfacing of a dumpster collection site on the east side of the

building.Russell said she is

extremely pleased with the result of Phase 1 of the Metro Center park-ing lot. Besides repairing low spots in the parking lot, the work was able to get done in three days as projected, she said.

Phase 2 is expected to be done in the 2014-15 fiscal year and will include resurfacing the entire front parking lot at the Metro Center, exclud-ing the semi-circle at the front door and the square area north of the front parking lot light, Russell said.

Bully prevention

PRINCETON — Com-munity Partners Against Substance Abuse, CPASA, will sponsor Mike Dona-hue, Omaha-based author and R5 Productions, who will present an informa-tive and interactive semi-nar from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday in the Princeton High School auditorium.

The presentation is aimed at reaching all Illi-nois Valley parents, grand-parents and community members, and topics cov-ered will include cyber-bullying, bullying and the social pressures teenagers face today. The free pre-sentation is open to the public, and there will be a drawing for door priz-es including an iPad and DeWalt Hammer Drill.

Donahue is also sched-uled to speak to all eighth-graders and high school students in Bureau and Putnam counties during his local stay. At 9 a.m. Monday, Donahue will speak at Bureau Valley High School in Manlius to students from Bureau Valley High School, Ohio, LaMoille, Malden, Bureau Valley South, Bureau Valley North and BEST, and in the afternoon at

1:30 p.m. he will speak at Princeton High School in Princeton to students from Princeton High School, Logan Junior High School, St. Louis School and Princeton Christian Academy. At 9 a.m. Tues-day, Donahue will speak at Putnam County High School in Granville to stu-dents from Putnam Coun-ty High School and Put-nam County Junior High School. In the afternoon, he will speak at Hall High School in Spring Valley to students from Hall High School, John F. Kennedy School, Dalzell, Cherry, Ladd and DePue.

Donahue has spoken to more than one mil-lion students over the last decade about bully-ing, respect and destruc-tive decisions. He is the owner of R5 Productions and the author of three books: “Reinventing My Normal,” “Hidden Scars” and “Talking to Brick Walls.” His fourth book, a guide to tackling bully-ing, written through his own story, is scheduled for release next year. His goal is to empower young people to be the change they want to see in the

world. He attempts to help students gain respect for one another and to go beyond stereotypes and labels.

“I was on both sides of that coin growing up. I was the victim of bul-lying and also the bully. And that’s why I launched R5,” Donahue said. “I know how these kids are feeling — I’ve walked in their shoes and felt their anxiety and pain first hand today. That’s why, today, I am dedicated to help young people feel powerful by making right choices in their lives.”

R5 Productions travels to more than 200 schools every year reaching more than 200,000 students in 29 states. Founder Mike Donahue says he has ded-icated a part of his life to help young people feel powerful without putting others down. Donahue says his life mission is to help young people find the answer that is already inside of them and to help them find the courage to face whatever it is that is holding them back from experiencing greatness.

PRINCETON — A Chicago man will serve 70 days in the Bureau County Jail after plead-ing guilty in Bureau County Court to the Class 2 felony of unlaw-ful possession of a sto-len motor vehicle.

Terell Nichols, 20, entered his guilty plea on Aug. 27 before Asso-ciate Circuit Judge C. J. Hollerich.

The judge placed Ter-rell on two years proba-tion with the conditions he serve 70 days in the county jail; pay fines, fees and court costs totaling $2,000; and pay a $25 monthly proba-tion fee.

Nichols was repre-sented in court by Pub-lic Defender Michael Henneberry. Prosecut-ing the case was First Assistant State’s Attor-ney Anthony Sciuto.

This is Nichols’ first felony conviction.

On March 2, a Princ-eton man reported his vehicle was taken while it was parked running outside a Princeton business at about 8 p.m. Nichols was found in

the vehicle later that evening, at about 10:37 p.m., by the Metamora Police Department.

Nichols was charged with auto theft on March 4, in Bureau County and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Police reports

Neponset Village BoardNEPONSET — The Neponset Village

Board heard from village residents and looked at variety of proposals when it met in regular session on Aug. 21.

• On behalf of the Neponset Historical Society, citizen Ron Miller addressed the board regarding the location of the LP tank for the historical society’s new heating system. The historical society asked for a variance of 5 feet. Mayor Carl Rohrig explained the board has no authority to give a variance for LP tanks because it is a state regulation for health and safety and out of the village board’s hands. The mayor asked trust-ees Wayne Gerrond and Ken Snyder if they would help Miller where they could, and they agreed.

• Citizen Gale Hinze asked the board if the zoning for his rental property at 103 Bureau St. would accommodate a welding and fabrication business. Board members said they believe the property is zoned light commercial. The board will look into the zoning and get back Hinze.

• In his trustee report, Gerrond reported the board must deal with the resident who still needs to hook up to the sewer. The issue will be put on next month’s agenda.

• Gerrond also said the village needs to get the surge suppressor put into place before the village has serious issues. Gerrond made a motion to accept the third revision proposal for the surge suppressor and phase protec-tion for Well No. 4 at a cost of $6,3000. The motion carried.

• Gerrond said the water department current meters have been discontinued and are not available anymore. The vil-lage will have to get updated as to what is available. Trustee Gene Costin made a motion to buy new meter equipment that is needed. The motion carried.

• The board will also look into buy-ing a small portable water tank for the sewer plant.

I• n his report, trustee John Pratt reported on vandalism regarding the new traffic signs. The signs were pulled out, which could have caused accidents, and have since been reinstalled, Pratt said. Also, more gas cans are missing from garages, he said.

• In his report, trustee Ken Snyder reported the culverts were not delivered last month, but should be here next week. The village is ready to have the new culverts installed at three locations.

• In his report, trustee Mandy Mueller reported she is working on grants for sidewalks in town.

• Rohrig reported he would like to see if any organizations are interested in

forming ball teams for the village field. Also, there have been a lot of com-plaints about illegal dumping in the vil-lage burn pile, and he would like to see the board consider security cameras, Rohrig said.

• Also, the mayor said he would like the board to consider purchasing a pro-jector, so the village can show movies in the community for kids on Saturdays. The projector and security camera issues will be put on next month’s agenda.

• Also, the board will get proposals for padlocks for all village locks for next month’s agenda.

Ladd Village BoardLADD — The Ladd Village Board con-

ducted the following business at its Aug. 27 meeting:

• Heard that Brandt Builders has completed the Cleveland Street culvert replacement. The board approved a $3,913.80 net decrease change order, and a $15,729.20 pay request subject to IDOT approval.

• Heard that the manhole is being cast and JW Ossola would soon begin the Chestnut Street manhole replacement.

• Discussed the new flag band and bracket installed on the Main Street pole in front of the Village Hall. Superintendent Englehaupt is not pleased with how it attaches to the pole so work will be done using one of the old brackets.

• Chief Gaefcke announced the new squad car would arrive soon. Once the new equipment is installed, he would take it to Dick Ajster for signage.

• Passed an ordinance to allow an additional $50 charge for utility recon-nections performed after normal busi-ness hours.

• Passed a resolution authorizing the sale of surplus village property.

• Passed a resolution authorizing the village president and clerk to execute documents necessary to secure a loan for the purchase of a new village squad car.

Families are defined differently than when we were young. Modern families can consist of two women or two men with adopted children or mixed families of different races and religions, and of course, the traditional man and wife marriage we are more accustomed to knowing. Sometimes peo-ple live together for years, and never marry or wait for years before they do. There can be no wedding ceremo-ny or very elaborate ones.

Whatever the arrangement, these people see themselves as a family. I guess I’m here to say, “Whatever the package, it is a family, and I want it to be as strong and safe as it can be.”

I came from a family that was as dopey as any. I feel fortunate I always felt safe, secure and loved, and I know that isn’t the case with many of you all. Maybe I was drawn to the work that gave me so much joy because I wanted the same things for others.

I have one living sibling, and I talk to her sev-eral times a week on the phone. She helps me remember things that are precious to me from my past family, and in her wisdom, she urges me on as I try to age as gracefully as she has. I traveled to see her last year, and I am so happy I did.

Make time to visit each other even though they live far away. At least email, call and have someone set up an Internet visit, so you can see each other. There is no excuse not to communi-cate with others in this new age.

Sometimes we feel challenged by what is going on in the family, and as the `elder statesmen,” perhaps we can help members get along better. First, we need to get rid of our own resentments and the idea of never forgiving a slight by some-body. This just feeds the fire and keeps the feud going. Resentments diminish us in many, many ways.

Next we should reach out to any siblings estranged from the rest. It may not work, but maybe it will, and the reward is new life for all. “I’m sorry” goes a long way. And even if you think you are right, give it up and move on. Our days are too precious to miss out on seeing members that are disconnected or distant.

If family gatherings are tense, perhaps smaller groups could work or not being so rigid about how the holidays are celebrated. We all don’t have to go to the same place at the same time and eat the same meal every single year! We need to be mindful of our children’s traditions they have established and be flexible toward their plans and schedules. Be sure you con-sider their in-laws’ plans and ask about how to accommodate everybody. Plan gatherings together to get closer and make the larger fam-ily more bonded. We might even learn some new rituals and traditions that will expand our world and enhance our lives.

Just think, we all can help the expanding world become a better family by starting with our own.

On Labor Day, Diana Nyad showed the world what it meant to have a dream. To believe in that dream. To do whatever it takes to achieve that dream. On Labor Day, Diana Nyad became the first swimmer to cross the Florida Straits without a shark cage. It was her fifth attempt at the crossing in 35 years.

Nyad should serve as an inspi-ration to us all. We all have dreams that we work to accom-plish. Some dreams are harder to achieve than others, but they all deserve a chance to become real-ity. My dreams vary from finding ways to help others, to writing a novel, to creating a great life for my loved ones.

I know every dream, every goal I have will take work. I know they will all face some sort of opposi-tion but if I’m patient, and I give it time, I’m sure I’ll make it. It took Nyad five times to reach the shores of Key West. She was deterred by weather, jellyfish and even the ocean’s currents on her previous attempts. But it only takes one moment, or in her case a series of 53 hours worth of moments, and lots of persever-ance to succeed.

Nyad learned from her previous attempts, and she adapted going

forward. They were not failures. She was able to adjust and learn what was required to continue. Her attempt in 2011 was foiled after 41 hours when she could no longer continue to swim due to stings from the potentially deadly Box Jellyfish. In 2012, she combated the jellyfish with a jellyfish suit, a thin nylon cover-ing that prevents stings. But the jellyfish could still sting her lips. The stings, weather and circling sharks still proved to be too much to overcome.

Some may say she was just lucky. But I don’t believe in luck. I believe it takes patience, lots of it, and an opportunity. Nyad is a very strong swimmer, she first gained national attention in 1975 when she swam the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in under eight hours. In 1979, she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Fla., in 25 1/2 hours. She had the skill, she just needed the oppor-tunity.

Many of us spend our lives believing our dreams are out of our reach when in fact they are just over the horizon, and we have to work for it. No one can say how long it will take to accomplish something, but as with everything in life, the journey is just as sweet as the destination. It’s the journey that shapes us as individuals. It’s the journey that pushes us to the brink, testing our limits. It’s the journey that shows us what sort of strength we posses. It’s the jour-ney that often times surprises us.

I have been working on my goals for awhile, achieving little victories here and there. They remind me I am on the right path, and I am chipping away little by little. I may not be able to see the big picture of my life, but the strokes and colors I’m seeing now show me it will be a beautiful one when I’m done.

So I make this promise, even if it takes me 50 years to accom-plish my dreams, I will succeed. I encourage all of you to find what makes you happy and see it through because life is too short to have regrets. So find that dream, fight for it and achieve it.

Considerations by Nedda

Fight for your dreams

Viewer discretionTo the Editor,

Is there any reason why a judge would not sign off on the agree-ment the NFL has come to with its’ brain-damaged retired play-ers? I think so, but the

suffering people won’t see the money they need for treatment for many, many years if this goes to trial. So the judge must sign off even though the evidence of a trial would stir to the top of the public attention might justify a humane

pulse and lose the NFL some fans and produce more legislation; perhaps a viewing warning, a viewer discretion notice at the beginning of the concussion-ridden game, followed with further warnings upon return from commercials. Such

shows as “The Walking Dead,” “Sons of Anar-chy,” “Dexter,” “Game of Thrones” (all of which are not real) give their audience a viewer dis-cretion notice several times during an episode.

2013 cross country preview

Area runners set sites on state

By Kevin Hieronymuskhieronymus@bcrnews.com

Bureau Valley junior Regan Weidner has been there before, placing second at state in 2012. She endured an injury-plagued track season and is ready to go. Hall junior Al Baldonado was close, missing out by one place to make state a year ago. That is the fuel that fires the top area cross country runners around Bureau County.

“Al was one placement away from Detwei-ler last year, and that fact was not lost on him as he trained hard all summer and in our early practices,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said.

Here is a look at area cross county teams:

HallBoys: Baldonado

is a solid No. 1 but to be competitive with stronger area teams, Keegan said the Red Dev-ils will need huge contributions from seniors Rosy Fuen-tes, Sandro Aldana, Christian Garcia and junior Tyler Pullam.

Some of the younger runners have looked strong Keegan said, including fresh-men Gage Ripka and Kyle Follmer, who is out with an ingrown toe nail for another week. Other squad mem-bers are junior Luke Lee-Brown, sophomores Josh Garcia and Moises Aldana and fresh-men Marco Gon-zalez and Christopher Enriquez.

Girls: The Lady Devils will be led by seniors Becca Herrmann and Brittany Foster, the squads only upperclass-men. Keegan said fresh-men Kaylee Olivares has the potential to shine in this sport “once she gets things figured out.” They’re joined by soph-omores Kaylee Turpen and Tanja Acamovic and freshmen Amelia Moreno and Linnea Lee-Brown.

“Hopefully as the sea-son goes along they will all see improvement and advance as a team to sectionals again,” Keegan said.

Bureau ValleyBoys: Senior Ryan

Taylor was a 2012 state qualifier for BV, finishing 49th in Class A. He will be challenged by senior Kane Eastwood, whom Donner noted along with classmate Andrew Smith, logged a lot of miles over the summer to prepare for their senior year. Donner looks for Smith to lead the Storm’s 3-8 spots, including seniors Colton Peterson, Daniel Trone, Kody Church,

juniors Michael Trujilio and Char-lie Lotspeich and sophomore Yulian Osorio.

“The key to our success will be our team depth. Our numbers 3-8 will change all year. If our boys put in the work these next two months, we

could have a shot at a state run,” Donner said.

Girls: Donner said Weidner has put in a strong offseason of run-ning to work back in shape from the nagging injuries this spring. She had a lot of company logging the summer mileage in prepara-tion for the season,

Dorner said.Additions like junior

Corinne Wagenknecht and freshmen Heather

Williams make the Storm’s prospects strong for this sea-son. “I really feel we can compete for the conference championship ,” Dorner said. Kate-lin Johnson, Kelly Sierens and Lauren Peterson return for their senior year joined by junior

Riley Francis and fresh-man Marissa Mungia and Sabrina Webb.

PrincetonBoys: The Tigers

have some experience returning from last year’s sectional team in senior Patrick Arrabia, Alex Biggs and Mason Hunt and sophomores Dominic Biggs and Cody Workman. However, senior Zach Andersen is focusing on soccer this year and Andrew Birkey graduated. The Tigers gain sophomore Peter Wang and Kaleb Kous-mierz.

Storm, Bruins meet after

solid openersBy Kevin Hieronymus

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Bureau Valley and St. Bede both made some strong opening state-ments to start the 2013 football season.

The Storm defeated Hall 42-21 while the Bru-ins beat Amboy/LaMoille 41-6. They will meet Fri-day on the Academy grid-iron for the BCR’s Week 2 Game of the Week.

It was with a lot of con-fidence Bureau Valley took the field last week and lived up to their expectations. The Bruins may have surprised some folks outside of the St. Bede camp the way they dismantled the host Clip-pers.

“We did some things really well and did some things we have to work on,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said. “I thought our defense played well against kind of a mature Amboy team. We’re going to have to build on that. We were sky high going into that being as young as we are. We can’t be overconfident. We know Bureau Valley is much improved. We’ve seen them on film now. They just offer another chal-lenge.”

Storm coach Jeff Ohl-son was not one of those surprised to the Bruins’ early success.

“Their young kids had very good games, and (Justin) Shaw and

Do you live in a fantasy world? Fantasy sports has certainly

been a big craze for several years now that takes sports fans into a whole new arena where sometimes you are left deciding between your favorite team or your fantasy players. I might play in a few fantasy leagues.

The BCR sports department is going to start up an inaugural BCR Fantasy Football League. With the NFL season kicking off Thursday night, we’ll have to sit out the opening week of games this week-end. But that’s OK, we’ve got 16

more weeks of fantasy fun.We’ll run our league through

Yahoo, so you’ll need to have a Yahoo account. We’ll run an online draft so you can match your wits against other area fan-tasy players. Funny thing about the drafts is I went live with one

league and was graded with a C minus by Yahoo. I forgot about my other league’s draft and ran on autopicks and got an “A.” Go figure.

If you’d like to play, send me an email at khieronymus@bcrnews.com and I’ll send you an invite to the BCR League. There won’t be any cash prizes, but you just might get mentioned in a future column here.

Keeping TRAC: One change you will notice heading out to a gymnasium near you this fall are

By Kevin Hieronymuskhieronymus@bcrnews.com

St. Bede coach Dawn Williams knew it wasn’t good news leading into Tuesday’s match at Princeton when she learned Monday morning that senior setter Morgan Bosnich was experienc-ing concussion symp-toms as the result of a run-in with the scorer’s table during Saturday’s tournament at St. Bede.

After dropping the first set Tuesday to host Princeton 25-15, the Lady Bruins recovered nicely to take the second set 25-21. Ultimately, the Tigresses claimed the

third set and ultimately the match at 25-13.

“I’m proud of my team for playing without our No. 1 setter and figuring out a lineup at 9:15 a.m. (Monday) morning,” she said. “We were kind of adjusting all night long. The second game we put it together and took advantage of things clicking. Third game things weren’t clicking. That’s how volleyball goes sometimes. When things click you roll with the tide and when it isn’t clicking you readjust and try again and just keep going.”

Wiliams said she thought Bosnich only

hit her shoulder Satur-day morning and being a tough kid, said she was OK. But then Monday morning, Williams said Bosnich told her, she still had fuzzy vision.

Sophomore Sadie Long and junior Madison Billhorn shared the set-ting duties in Bosnich’s absence.

The match was the first in Three Rivers Confer-ence play between the two former NCIC rivals.

Princeton had things clicking late in the first set. Down 9-7 in the first set, the Tigresses sided out and senior libero

HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

Cody Griffin had just pur-chased the bow the weekend before their trip and practiced some during the week for his trip to go Black Bear Lodge hunting. He was accompanied by his dad, Shawn, Mark Fansler of Kewanee and Jack Carey of Milan.

Mark was the first one to get his bear. Cody was the next one to get his bear. Cody was hunt-ing at the far west site Monday night after see-ing what the trail cam pics showed, two large bears hitting the same bait. The group arrived around 1 p.m. to find the bait completely gone again. Cody climbed into the ladder stand followed by his dad. Shawn was sitting just behind Cody on a hang-on stand so he could videotape his son’s first bear kill. They sat there for nearly six hours before they saw a large bear coming straight at them through the brush, The bear did not hesitate and walked a straight line to the lad-der stand that Cody was sitting in. The large bear then paused a while and looked right at the hunt-ers who were perched 15 feet above him. Both Cody and Shawn froze.

After analyzing the situation a little longer, the bear decided the two big blobs in the tree offered no threat. So he worked his way to the bait. He quickly sniffed around each bucket investigating. Once he committed to eat out of one of the buckets, Cody drew back his bow and put his pin just behind the bear’s front shoulder. The bear whirled around then circled back toward the hunters where he quickly expired 10 yards from their stand.

The bear turned out to be one of the two they had seen on the trail camera. He was a big old boar. The teeth on this big bear were well worn and he had several cuts and scars where he has battled other bears. They guessed his age to be about 15-18 years. The bear was over 300 pounds and measured 6 feet, 8 inches from nose to toes. They were happy when they knew it was a confirmed kill, and they didn’t have to track it.

Mollie Bates, served a five-point string to give PHS a 13-9 lead. Becca Hult also served for five straight including an ace to run the Tigresses to a 23-13 lead. Hailey Schultz hit through two blockers for game point at 25-15.

St. Bede got off to a 9-5 lead in the second set, but PHS tied things up at 9 on a kill by Poss and took a 14-12 lead on a stuff block by Becca Hult. A service error by Princeton gave St. Bede a lead it would not surrender at 18-17 with Olivia Mueller hit-ting for the game win-ner at 25-21.

“I was pleased with our girls stepping up blocking. We got a lot of hands on the ball. Oliv-ia Mueller and Hanna Bima had a lot of good hits in there,” Williams said.

“They served us off the court that second set. We couldn’t get into any systems. our confidence was shaky, They pushed us and that was all them. That was everything they did to us,” Puck said. “But I tell our kids all the time worry about what hap-pens to our side of the net, if we take care of things on our side of the net and we’ll be fine. Little by little by title, we did that. Third set we definitely did that.”

The Tigresses (2-0, 1-0) regained control of the match in game 3, using another high five from Bates, who had a team-high 11 points, to go up 11-4. A kill by Hult made it 14-6 and a blast by Poss put the Tigresses on the way to victory at 20-10.

“We played well when we had to,” Puck said. “Good team pushed us

back and fourth. Sec-ond (game), you’re going to have your roll-er-coaster runs, your peaks and valleys, but I think we’re learning about each other and they’re learning about me. We ended up win-ning. It’s a win. I was confident going into that third set we’d be OK.”

Puck said the Tigress-es simply attacked bet-ter in the third set.

“When you do that, you play hard and you don’t think, and when you don’t think you think you react,” he said. “Playing hard and attacking takes care of things. And our back row definitely cleaned up. Our serve receive was a lot better that third set.”

Senior Ashley Farra-her led PHS with 11

kills and six digs. Poss had 10 kills and set-ter Michelle Kelly 32 assists.

For St. Bede (3-4, 0-1), Mueller had 11 kills and Bima added seven. Morgan King and Samantha Whalen each had 18 digs and Billhorn paced the Lady Bruins with seven points.

Notes: St. Bede claimed both under-class matches,winning at the freshmen level 25-21, 25-23 as well as the sophomores 25-15, 24-26, 25-13. ... St. Bede travels to Ster-ling Newman Thursday night.

TennisAddition: The No. 1 doubles teams

of Anjali Patel and Brittany Krohn were inadvertently left off of the Princeton team preview. The BCR regrets the error. PHS coach Connie Lind said the juniors look to pick up where they left off playing well at No. 1 doubles at the F/S level. They “are both strong servers and aggressive at the net,” she said.

but if we stay healthy, we should have a shot at repeating las year’s performance,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

Girls: The PHS girls squad will be known as “Zoe and the newcomers.” Senior Zoe Mead is the lone returner, but she is a good one, a three-time letterwinner and two-time sectional qualifier.

She has new company with juniors Megan Hen-drickson, Ashley Rivera and Lindsy York, a trans-fer from Putnam County, sophomores Kira Harp and Alex Smallwood, and freshmen Casey Schertz.

“Aside from Zoe Mead, we are a totally differ-ent team from last year as we have six rookies,” Hodge said. “Lindsy York brings some expe-rience with her from Putnam County and has been a nice fit for our team. Everyone else is new to distance running and it will take some time to get mentally and physically prepared for it. Hopefully by the end of the year we can be competitive at regional and challenge for a sec-tional spot. There are a lot of unknown factors until we get some meets under our belt.”

“For both squads it will be exciting to be a part of the newly expanded

Three Rivers Confer-ence. There are many fine programs in both cross country and track. It should be a nice, com-petitive atmosphere,” he

said.

Amboy/LaMoilleBoys: Skylar Wheel-

er, the 2012 MVP, will be out the first month of the season due to injury. Still, coach Bob Halberg expects a lot of improvement

from prior years with the return of senior Ben Hosto, juniors Nick Bick-ett and Nick Dewey and sophomore Alan Stam-berger and the additions of sophomores Paul Meyer and James Blackburn.

Girls: With a squad of nine deep, Halberg looks for “some really good things to happen this year.” Jennifer Popov-ich, the 2012 MVP, was All-Conference last year and promises to have another solid season. She should be pressed by senior Kaitlin Boers and freshmen Megan Grady, Erin Hosto and Brenna Rieker.

“The nucleus looks good barring injuries and hopefully with competi-tion in practice we hope to advance to sectionals. The future looks bright.”

Other returnees include senior Laura Rieker, juniors Sydney Langler, joined by sopho-more newcomers Emma Scully and Renee Vaes-sen.

The co-op squad is split nearly in half with

eight athletes from Amboy and seven from LaMoille. The Clippers will run Thursday at Rockridge.

St. BedeBoys: The numbers

are strong for the Bru-ins program with Adam Hunter, Leo Lopez, Felipe Takeasu, Jeff Barnes, Abram Yucus, Brent Koogler, Jacob Condon, Jacob Hockings, Garrett Barto, Jeremiah Johnson, Andrew Lopez, Joey Chai, Johnny Kera-sotes and H. Wang,

Girls: Senior Laura Sickley received all-BCR Honorable Mention honors last year. She is joined this year by Thea Mauck, Holly Grego-rich, Annie Needs, Julia Pohar, Sadie Long, Katy Kennamer, Morgan Kno-blauch, Raley Mauck, Anna Jereb, Destiny Kwiatek, Lexie Miranda and Sophie Carus.

OhioThe Bulldogs have four

runners with freshmen Nathan Bousum, Brady Debruhl, and sopho-mores Jacob Tudor and Johnee Schulte.

DePueSeniors Adilene Gar-

cia and Cristian Men-dez head up the Little Giants’ pack, including juniors Hector Madrigal, Jesus Garcia and Alber-to Acosta and freshmen Austin Kiest, Miguel Lopez and Luis Cruz.

Prouty Gym at Princ-eton supports all 15 TRAC banners with the Tigers’ home flag nicely presented front and center. The NCIC logo remains on the gym floor due to having the roofing construction delayed over the sum-mer by the heat and

running out of time to work on the floor. That will be done next year.

St. Bede athletic director/handyman Tom McGunnigal put the TRAC banners up over the weekend at the Academy.

With Red Devil Gym-nasium to come tum-bling down in a year and a half at Hall High School, the new TRAC banners will remain on hold to go up in the new gym. AD Eric Bryant Jr said they are coming up with a plan to cover up the existing Tri-County

Conference banners which are painted on the gym wall

If you haven’t made it down to the South Gym at PHS, be sure to do so. The 1926 facility has been brightly reno-vated with a new paint job compliments of the PHS Booster Club as a match to the royal blue, white and gray colors in Prouty Gym. You won’t recognize the place. It looks great.

Youth footballAnother week, another sweep for Princ-eton Youth Football. All four Princeton teams traveled to Kewanee Sunday and brought home wins. Elijah Grundman makes this catch in the seventh-grade’s 16-6 win. In other games, the sixth grade won 24-6, the seventh grade won 18-8 and the eighth grade won 38-8. The Princeton teams return home at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Congrats to Cody for his first bear, a bow kill captured on video, his dad was with him. The only thing they didn’t know was who was more thrilled, the hunter or the cameraman.

• Opening day of dove hunting proved to be a moderate success. On day one at the canal parkway, there were 40 hunters, and they harvested

113 doves. The second day, there were 13 hunters, and they harvested 16 doves. At Mautinos, 28 hunters harvested 77 doves the first day, and 22 hunters harvested 58 doves on the second day.

Fishing on the canal has been decent. Some nice stringers of blue-gills and crappie have been reported.

Erie/Prophetstown (1-0) at Hall (0-1)

Gametime: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Nesti Stadium.

BCR insider: The Panthers invade Nesti Stadium for the second straight year, having spoiled the 2012 Homecoming festivities at Hall. E/P got off to a good start last week with a win over Kewanee and want another taste of the playoffs after getting their last year for the first time in 10 years. Nick Williams (16-235, 4 TDs) did well filling the shoes of former all-state running back Zach Inskeep (201 yards, 3 TDs vs. Hall), scoring three times in the second half to lead the Panthers to a come-from behind win over Kewanee last week. EP was down 6 at halftime and could have been down more had the Panthers not made two goal line stands. E/P improved to 8-5 in season openers since forming their co-op in 2001.

Last week: E-P beat Kewanee 33-19; Hall lost to Bureau Valley 42-21.

Newman (0-1) at Princeton (0-1)Gametime: 7:30 p.m. Friday at

Bryant Field.BCR insider: Newman doesn’t lose

many football games during the course of the season, let alone season openers. Last week’s 21-9 loss to Rockridge was the Comets’ first opening day defeat in since they fell to Morrison in 2007 13-8. Veteran coach Mike Papoccia called it disappointing. “We didn’t block, and we didn’t tackle. Not to take away from the quarterback who played great, and they ran their offense really well, but we didn’t perform the way we have been practicing,” he said. The Comets were held to 184 yards offense, including 84

by quarterback A.J. Sharp. Newman dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in this week’s AP 2A poll. ... The Tigers had an equally frustrat-ing opener, committing eight turnovers, fumbling the ball away in its only two scoring opportunities. PHS coach Jesse Snyder said the Tigers would address their ball control in practice. PHS added a passing game into its playbook last week, attempting 13 passes while completing just three. Sophomore Jake Reinhardt split time with senior Caleb Dickens at quarterback, completing 3 of 12 for 125 yards. ... Newman has won four state championships under Papoccia’s watch (1A in 1990 and ‘94 and 2A in 2004 and 2010). Princeton has one state finals appear-ance, placing second when “Tiger Style was Running Wild” in 1989. ... This is the first meeting between the new TRAC rivals since 1981, a game won by Newman 20-2. PHS has won the other four games in the series.

(Michael) Bellino both are very good,” he said. “Coach (John) Bellino and coach (Mark) Siebert have a lot of experience and expertise and have them playing very well at the start of the sea-son. We will need to come out and take care of the ball, execute on offense and defense, try to match there physicality and ath-leticism and be ready to play.”

Junior quarterback Jack Brady shined in his varsity debut for the Bruins, throwing for 234 yards and five touch-downs all in the first half, answering any questions if he was ready for the big show. He threw TD strikes to four different targets — Justin Shaw (15, 54), Michael Bellino (7), Braidy Shipp (51) and Matt Szczepaniak (51).

“I’m sure it’s going to boost his confidence level. Jack’s just doing what we’re asking him too do and hopefully that continues,” Bellino said. “You have to give our offense line a lot of credit. I think they did a nice job protecting him. He put the ball where he had to, and our receiv-

ers caught the ball. Lot of what happened was to what Amboy was doing. Amboy was trying to stop the run, (and) we took advantage of the passing game.”

Bureau Valley junior quarterback Parker Neu-halfen put up equally impressive numbers in his first season-opening start, throwing for 136 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 87 yards and three TDs. All told, the Storm offense racked up 481 yards offense with Tucker Schoff leading the ground game (16-157, 2 TDs).

No favors on schedule for TigersBy Kevin Hieronymus

khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Princeton sure wasn’t dealt any favors by the schedule-makers out of the gate for its first go-around of crossover action in the Three Riv-ers Athletic Conference.

First up was Morrison, which handed the Tigers a 46-0 defeat. Next comes Sterling Newman Friday, which may be in a foul mood on the heels of a rare opening day defeat.

Between them the Mus-tangs (2009, 2011) and the Comets (2004, 2010) have won four state championships over the past 10 years. Newman has won four state cham-pionships in school his-tory dating back to 1990.

Coming up the Tigers will also draw Fulton, which has two state titles (1976, 1991), for a Week 6 crossover, and Rockridge (1994) with one title.

PHS will also draw three more foes who reached the playoffs last year in St. Bede, Orion and Rockridge.

North vs. South: The scoreboard for the first round of crossover con-tests in the Three Rivers shows the north with a 4-3 edge. In those games, Morrison beat Princeton, Bureau Valley beat Hall, Erie/Prophetstown topped Kewanee and Fulton sur-prised Orion, For the

south, Rockridge upend-ed Newman, St. Bede blasted Amboy and Sher-rard whipped Riverdale.

Seven more crossovers are on tap this week with first conference games within divisional playing starting up Week 3. With seven teams in each division, there will be one crossover contest each week the rest of the way.

Crossover opponents will change every two years on a rotating basis.

Morrison coach Cory Bielema said it can be a little nerve-wrecking preparing for new teams you’ve never placed before for your first game. He welcomes the four news teams to the conference, saying “I think Princeton, Mor-rison, Orion, Rockridge and Sherrard are going to be great additions to the conference and going to be fun meeting up with them.

They said it: When Bureau Valley came up about an inch short of gaining a first down Fri-day night, Storm coach Jeff Ohlson suggested to the officials, with a grin on his face, that one of the links was missing on the chains.

When asked to sum up the play of sopho-more quarterback Joey Brackenmyer and know-ing he was in earshot of

his answer, Morrison’s Bielema responded, “If I say good things about him, then it’s going to go to his head and I’m going to deal with that all week … Maybe if he listens to Coach Bielema a little bit more he’ll be all right.”

Poll watching: Rock-ridge, which was unranked in the preseason, is ranked fifth in this week’s AP 2A poll, thanks to its

win over then No. 2, now No. 6 Newman. Sterling moved into the No. 10 slot in 5A with its win over Metamora.

Quick counts: River Valley’s 39-20 win over Biggsville West Central last week was the first opening-day victory in the 13-year history of the Fal-cons co-op.

Kurt Busch is headed to Stewart-Haas Rac-ing as a fourth driver, beginning in 2014. Busch will join team co-owner Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Dan-ica Patrick in a deal that was engineered by the team’s other co-owner, Gene Haas, while Stewart was in the midst of being treated for a broken leg suffered in a sprint car crash.

Haas, speaking on a teleconference on Tuesday, said Stewart, when told of the hiring of Busch, initially dis-agreed, saying the team wasn’t ready to add a fourth driver.

But Haas solved one of the major issues — funding — by hav-ing his company, Haas Automation, be the primary sponsor of Busch’s car.

Haas said he’s long admired Busch, and jumped at the opportu-nity to hire him.

“He’s been kind of a favorite of mine,” Haas said. “I see his on-track performance. I thought this was a great oppor-tunity to pair him up with Haas Automation, for him to be the driver of my choice. It was an opportunity that I just

felt was too great to pass up.”

For Haas, the deal offers a chance to have his company’s name on a car that wins a Cup race, something that hasn’t happened in the past when he was the primary sponsor of a car.

And he said that while Stewart initially didn’t cotton to add-ing a fourth team, he’s come around in the days since.

“I kind of did this on my own, probably over-stepped my authority a tick there,” Haas said. “I did realize that Tony might be a little bit upset about it. He was; he was a little upset.

“At first he said: ‘Oh, wow, we can’t really do this because this is going to be too much of a load on the team. We’re not prepared for it. We don’t have the space.”

But Haas said the deal was on anyway.

“I don’t think Tony was exactly enthralled with what I did, but I think he saw it my way ...

“He has a lot of power ... I have some power, too. I think in a sense it’s a check-and-balance system where

the two powers balance each other out.”

For Busch, who cur-rently drives the No. 78 Chevrolet for Furni-ture Row Racing and is 12th in the Sprint Cup standings, well within reach of a berth for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the move to Stew-art-Haas returns him to one of NASCAR’s top-tier teams. In the past, he drove for Roush Racing and Penske Racing, but off-track issues while with those teams led to him running the past two seasons for single-car teams at Phoenix Rac-ing and Furniture Row. But his focus was on a move such as the one he made to Stewart-Haas.

“It’s a matter of find-ing the opportunities,” he said. “You never know what’s around the next corner.

“All I needed to do was to bear down and to put the blinders on and to learn more about myself, which was to jump in the car and just race and have fun on that side of it, but also grow as a per-son.

“I didn’t know how long it was going to take. I wasn’t going to give up. I was going to keep racing, and dif-ferent opportunities pop up if you present yourself in the right position.”

Joe Garone, general manager of Furniture Row Racing, said in a

team release that he expects his team to continue its strong run despite the impending departure of Busch, a former Cup champion and 24-time winner on NASCAR’s elite circuit.

“Right now, the main focus for Kurt and the team is to qualify for the Chase and contend for the 2013 Sprint Cup Series champion-ship,” said Garone, who added that his team is in the process of find-ing a driver for 2014 and beyond.

Stewart-Haas is also at the center of another big personnel move in the Cup series. Crew chief Rodney Childers is leaving the No. 55 team of Brian Vickers at Michael Wal-

trip Racing and is set to become Kevin Har-vick’s crew chief next season.

Greg Zipadelli, direc-tor of competition at Stewart-Haas, said a deal is in the works to hire Childers.

“I feel like we’re in a good spot, but we don’t have it done yet,” Zipadelli said. “Hope-fully, in the next week to 10 days it will be done and official.”

Childers’ current employer has relieved him of his responsi-bilities with the No. 55 team, which will be led in the interim by MWR’s vice president of competition, Scott Miller, who has worked as a crew chief for sev-eral teams in the past.

Grossi named regional banking center manager Johannes Bus Service opens

branch office in Spring ValleyBy LyLe Ganther

lganther@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — A bus service owned by the same family for three generations has opened a branch office in Spring Valley.

Johannes Bus Service, based in Rock Island, opened its second branch office this summer in Spring Valley. It also has a branch office located in Aledo.

“We have been in busi-ness for 50 years,” said Jason Johannes, the pres-ident of the bus service. “We expanded to some

niche markets in this area and are excited to be in Spring Valley.”

Johannes’ grandfather, Harry “Red” Johannes, incorporated the bus ser-vice in 1964 and then his son, Steven, took over. Jason Johannes and five other siblings have been involved in the business over the years.

“We are proud to still be in business for three generations,” he added. “In our industry, many smaller family-run bus services have been bought out by larger com-panies.”

Johannes reported the

company first came to the Illinois Valley area when it started provid-ing bus service to the Waltham Elementary Dis-trict. It has now expand-ed to offering bus ser-vice to Putnam County, Ladd and DePue school districts.

“We have 25 buses here and 30 full- and part-time employees,” he said. “We provide daily service to seven school districts and to others for extracurric-ular trips.”

Johannes said he was searching for a local con-tractor to provide com-munication radios and

surveillance cameras when he contacted Troy Resetich of TROY Simpli-fied Technologies Inc.

As a result of dealing with Resetich, Johannes was able to discover that space was available in the Richwoods Build-ing located at the Wolfer Industrial Park in Spring Valley.

“It has worked out great here,” added Johannes. “We park and fix buses at this location. We have yellow school buses and charter service with mid-sized commercial buses.”

National Grandparents Day 2013: Sept. 8In 1970, Marian McQuade initiated a campaign

to establish a day to honor grandparents. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a federal proclama-tion, declaring the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. This day has been celebrated every year since in honor of our nation’s grandparents. The Census Bureau presents updates of statistics about their role and responsibilities in our society.

• 7 million - The number of grandparents whose grandchildren under age 18 were living with them in 2011.

• 2.7 million - The number of grandparents respon-sible for the basic needs of one or more grandchil-dren under age 18 living with them in 2011. Of these caregivers, 1.7 million were grandmothers, and 1.0 million were grandfathers.

• 594,000 - The number of grandparents respon-sible for grandchildren under age 18 and whose income was below the poverty level in the past 12 months compared with the 2.1 million grandparent caregivers whose income was at or above the poverty level.

• $45,526 - Median income for families with grand-parent householders responsible for grandchildren under age 18. Among these families, where a parent of the grandchildren was not present, the median income was $33,627.

• 1.9 million - The number of married (including separated) grandparents responsible for caring for their grandchildren.

• 1.7 million - The number of grandparents in the labor force responsible for their own grandchildren under age 18. Among them, 338,000 were 60 years or older.

• 657,000 - The number of grandparents who had a disability and were responsible for their grandchil-dren.

• 1.9 million - The number of grandparents responsible for their grandchildren who were living in owner-occupied housing, compared with 844,000 that were living in renter-occupied housing.

• 505,000 - The number of foreign-born grandpar-ents responsible for their own grandchildren under age 18. This contrasts with 2.2 million native-born grandparent caregivers.

• 2.1 million - The number of grandparents respon-sible for their grandchildren, who speak only English. Another 255,000 speak another language, but speak English “very well;” 414,000 speak another language and speak English less than “very well.”

• 5.5 million - The number of children under 18 living with a grandparent householder in 2011. Near-ly half, 48 percent or 2.6 million, were under age 6.

• 10 percent - Percentage of children in the United States living with a grandparent in 2012, totaling 7.1 million.

• 2.7 million - The number of children living with both grandmother and grandfather in 2012.

• 14,821 - The number of nursery, garden center and farm supply businesses with paid employees in the United States in 2011. The forget-me-not was named the official flower of National Grandparents Day by the National Grandparents Day Council.

• 59,458 - The number of musicians, singers and related workers employed full time, year-round, in 2011. “A Song for Grandma and Grandpa” was named the official song of National Grandparents Day in 2004 by the National Grandparents Day Council.

Tips to help parents/students start the school year strong

PERU — It’s back to school once again.

But this hyped-up, commer-cial back-to-school rush to equip students with new garments and gear often gets in the way of the real preparations that parents and kids should focus on for a suc-cessful school year.

“Starting a new school year can be a daunting experience for many students, and failing to get off on the right foot can set the tone for the rest of the academ-ic year,” Peru’s Sylvan Learn-ing Center Daniel Callahan said. “Parents need to take the right steps starting now to make sure their students are prepared to tackle new academic challenges with the right habits and daily routines. This includes trying not to be so consumed with showing up in the latest fashions; it’s not that important. That’s why Sylvan Learning has put together four simple tips for parents and four simple tips for children that can help boost student success in the new school year.”

Here are four things parents can do to help their children achieve better academic results:

• Impose the two-week rule: With later bedtimes over the sum-mer, children need to ease back into their school routine rath-er than having a sudden change

their first day of school.• Reintroduce regular meal

times: During summer months, kids tend to grab a snack sev-eral times during the day. Parents can start reminding students to get back into a three-meal-a-day schedule in order to regulate their system into the back-to-school mode. Nutrition is an important factor in academic performance, and eating a healthy, balanced breakfast and lunch keeps kids alert throughout the day.

• Family calendar: Time man-agement is tricky for everyone, especially kids and teens, but planning is an important way to save everyone’s sanity. Hav-ing major deadlines, due dates, events and extracurricular activi-ties in one place helps kids visual-ize their week, manage their time and stay on track.

• Don’t ditch good habits: If you and your child have established a good summer learning routine, when school starts try not to for-sake all of the fun reading, writing and art activities that kept your child engaged all summer.

Here are four important things that students can follow to improve the academic quality of the school year.

• Organize: Organization is not overrated. Keeping notes, proj-ects and reading materials in

logical order helps students find what they need right away, cut-ting down on time spent tracking things down, and allowing more time for actual studying.

• Take good notes: Yes, it does matter. Taking good notes helps keep kids’ grades up, especially in middle or high school. To boost note-taking skills, students should practice picking out the “main ideas” in conversations, news reports, or magazine articles.

• Concentrate: Staying focused is easier for some kids than oth-ers. Students need to do their best to avoid distractions in class. This means keeping cell phones tucked away and being vocal if a chatty classmate is too distract-ing.

• Speak up: Students often can get tripped up by homework or test instructions. Students should know it’s OK to speak up if they don’t understand testing or home-work directions. Students should also listen carefully and spend plenty of time reading directions.

Sylvan Learning also reminds parents that even with the best preparation many students still may need extra help to meet new academic challenges or to bol-ster study skills. Getting help at the first sign of trouble will pre-vent students from falling further behind as the year progresses.

Food courtWith the kids back in school, why not

try whipping up a batch of cookies to send in their lunch box or have ready for after-school snacks. Even if there are no little ones around your house, a good cookie and a cup of coffee or a glass of milk sure tastes good.

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat thoroughly. Dissolve baking soda in sour cream and add. Stir in flavorings. Sift flour and add. The mixture should be a soft dough. Shape into a roll.

‘Tamarack County’He will pay.One way or another,

you’ll get back at that person who done you wrong. He’ll pay, whether now or in the hereafter, and you’ll see that it comes to pass. He’ll get his comeuppance. You’ll get your revenge.

But remember this: revenge isn’t always sweet, payback’s more than just a … well, you know, and in the new book “Tamarack County” by William Kent Krueger, vengeance has deadly consequences.

In Tamarack County, Minn., up near the Cana-dian border, winters can be hard on drivers. Snowstorms happen, vehicles get stuck and help takes time. But when Evelyn Carter’s car was found empty on a well-traveled road, it raised concern: the road was freshly-plowed, the car wasn’t snowbound and Evelyn was nowhere around.

Though he no longer served as the county sheriff, Corcoran “Cork” O’Connor was called in to help look for the missing woman. As a life-long resident of Tama-rack County, he knew the area and he’d been acquainted with Evelyn and her husband, a for-mer judge whom Cork considered to be one of the nastiest, least-likable men in the county. Also, as a licensed private investigator, Cork knew how to conduct a search.

And he knew that Evelyn Carter wasn’t the kind of lady to just disap-pear.

But that wasn’t the only mys-tery plagu-ing Cork O’Connor. His younger daughter, Annie, came home early from the convent where she’d been living, and though she obviously seemed troubled, she was uncharacteristically mute. Stephen, Cork’s teenage son, was smitten with Marlee Daychild, a girl Stephen knew from school, so there was a bit of the unknown there, too.

As the search for Evelyn Carter expanded, strange things started happening around Tama-rack County: Marlee Daychild’s uncle’s dog had been temporarily staying with the Day-childs, and was violently killed. Marlee’s mother, a bartender at a local casino, was hassled by a strange man, and fol-lowed. Judge Carter insisted there’d been a burglary at his house, but the item he claimed had been stolen was in his garage.

In his garage — cov-ered with blood.

As all these incidents piled up, they just didn’t add up for Cork O’Connor. And as the snow swirled around Tamarack County’s roads, so did the danger …

No doubt about it: author William Kent Krueger is the Master of Misleads. He knows well how to send readers

down the wrong path, and what you’ll sleuth in this novel is no excep-tion.

Indeed, “Tamarack County” is rich with wrong leads, interesting characters, dark terrain, cold nights and plotlines that will keep you turn-ing pages. These things revolve around Krueger’s main character, Cork O’Connor, a part-Ojibwe sheriff-turned-PI who has a personal stake in what happens in the solving of crimes because he grew up with many of the people affected. That rings especially true in this mystery.

Yes, this book is the

latest in a series, but you can easily enjoy it without having read the others. So find it, read it, share it, but make note: lend “Tamarack County” to someone, and you may never get it back.

White urges student readers to enter ‘Letters About Literature’

Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White is urging students in grades 4 through 12 to enter the 2014 “Letters About Literature” con-test, a national reading and writing competition sponsored by the Cen-ter for the Book in the Library of Congress and the Illinois Center for the Book.

“Letters About Litera-ture” invites students to read a book of their choice and write a let-ter to the author about how the book changed their life or view of the world. Student can enter on their own or through their schools, libraries or other youth organiza-tions.

“Every year thousands of students in Illinois enjoy participating in this inspiring competition,” White said. “Illinois has had more entries than any other state for six years in a row. Anyone who has read these let-ters can see how litera-ture inspires and touches the lives of our young people. I encourage all our students to take part in ‘Letters About Litera-ture,’ and I hope their participation leads to a

lifetime of reading.”There are three levels

of participation: Level I for grades 4, 5 and 6; Level II for grades 7 and 8; and Level III for grades 9 through 12. One Illinois winner will be selected for each level and receive a $200 cash award. Teachers of the winning students will receive a $100 cash award to purchase materials for their school library. Win-ners and teachers will be invited to an awards ceremony in Springfield. The state winners let-ters will be forwarded for national judging. One national winner in each of the three competi-tion levels will receive a $1,000 cash award, and one national honor in each level will receive a $200 cash award.

The deadline to enter the competition is Jan. 10 for Levels I and II and Dec. 10 for Level III. State winners will be announced in April 2013. For more informa-tion about the compe-tition, contact Bonnie Matheis at 217-558-2065 or bmatheis@ilsos.net. Information is also avail-able at http://illinoiscen-terforthebook.org.
