PRINCETON — Thursday’s discovery recount of the April 9 election votes on the Hall High School referendum does not change the results of the final outcome, that the Hall High School District will get a new high school.

On Friday, Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the discovery recount was requested by Mary Alice Mueller who had filed a petition in her office with eight signatures asking for the recount of the referendum votes. By statute, only five signatures were required for the discovery recount.

The April 9 election referendum asked voters to approve a bond issue to build a $32 million high school build-

ing. The unofficial results from the April 9 election showed the referen-dum passed by just three votes. 1,714 to 1,711. On April 24, after absentee ballots were received and counted, the final official election results showed the Hall referendum still passed by three votes, with 1,717 yes votes and 1,714 no votes.By GolDie Currie

DEPUE – DePue is pre-paring an ordinance that will better regulate service animals not recognized as household pets within the village limits.

Village resident Miranda Baker approached the board earlier this week about a notice she was served by the village marshall to abate “a nuisance on her property” within 48 hours.

The nuisance is a minia-ture goat, which is a regis-tered service animal for her son who was diagnosed with autism, transient tic disor-der, and child and sleep dis-order. The goat is specially trained for his needs and has been with the family in DePue for two years, accord-ing to Baker.

“Never was nor has there been a complaint about her,” she said. “Most people who have seen her thinks she’s a dog.”

The village currently has an ordinance in place that prohibits the keeping of ani-mals in village limits that aren’t generally considered household pets. The ordi-nance states “no livestock, foul farm animals or wild creatures can be kept in the village at any time.”

Baker said she had been communicating with the attorney general’s office, and they had advised her to talk with the village board about accommodating the ordi-nance for her son as it falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Village attorney Jacob Frost pointed out the ADA’s rules and regulations have narrowed the definition of service animal to dog or min-iature horse.

Village trustee Lyle Behm asked if there was a way to amend the ordinance to accommodate Baker.

Lee County wind: Board leader pushes compromiseBy DaviD Giuliani

Shaw Media Service

DIXON – The chair-man of the Lee County Board still supports a proposed wind farm, but he is pushing a compromise that would include strong condi-tions on the project.

Rick Ketchum, D-Amboy, said he and others are working on the conditions. He pro-vided few details.

Last month, the county’s Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3-2 to reject Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power’s proposed wind farm for the county’s southwestern corner.

In rejecting the 53

turbines, the zoning board majority con-tended the project would hurt the rural character of the area. They also said the com-pany failed to reveal the turbine model it planned to use, which would have an effect on the project’s noise. It also lacked a plan for taking down the tur-bines after the project ends.

The 24-member coun-ty board, which has the final say, is expected to vote on the matter Tuesday.

A day after the zoning board’s decision last month, Ketchum said he would vote to over-rule the lower panel’s

recommendation.In a telephone inter-

view Wednesday, Ket-chum said the county’s wind farm regulations weren’t strong enough, which he said prompt-ed the effort to impose conditions on the Main-stream project.

He wouldn’t say who he was working with in drafting the conditions, but he said Mainstream wasn’t involved.

One of the conditions would involve a longer setback than the usual 1,400 feet between homes and turbines, he said, but he wouldn’t say exactly how far.

“The conditions won’t be totally mine,” he said. “We want con-ditions that are strong, but not enough to stop

the project. We think the conditions are fair, but the wind farm (company) may not like them.”

He predicted a close vote.

In a story last month, most county board members interviewed declined to state their views on the wind farm.

Supporters of wind farms say they dramati-cally boost property tax revenue for govern-ment entities such as schools.

Mainstream’s propos-al is part of a three-county wind farm, which includes White-side and Bureau coun-ties. Last year, White-side County approved nine turbines, while Bureau County’s zon-

ing panel recommend-ed against Mainstream’s plan for 19 turbines, saying it didn’t meet the county’s require-ments. Mainstream withdrew its proposal in Bureau County, say-ing it planned to submit a new plan.

The Lee County Board will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday on the third floor of the Old Lee County Court-house, 112 E. Second St. in Dixon.

The board is expected to consider a wind farm in the southwestern part of the county.

Transportation $$$ OK at SVEDePue School Board fills vacant seat

Mayor makes appointments

By Brock [email protected]

SPRING VALLEY – Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini appointed several public officials at Monday’s meeting, but there haven’t been any changes.

After the April 29 meeting, which saw the replacement of the city

attorney and city engi-neer, this week the council approved current Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston to maintain his position, as well as John Schultz as superintendent of public works and Tim Samolinski as building inspector. Alderman Mike Herrmann was named the chair of the Finance Com-mittee; Mark Actis was named chair of Public Util-ities Committee; and Dave

Pellegrini was named the chair of Ways and Means.

Alderman Dan McFad-den will continue as chair of the Legislative Commit-tee as well as Tom Nesti as Water and Sewer Commit-tee chair; Chuck Hansen as Streets and Alleys chair, Jim Taliano as Health and Safety chair and Jack Nar-czewski as Auditing Com-mittee chair.

The council also approved the appoint-

ments to the various city boards and committees.

In other business, the council:

• Adopted an ordinance allowing for the issuance of general obligation bonds to purchase a fire truck for the fire department. The city will draw up an ordi-nance allowing Sangston permission to sell a 2002 Chevy Blazer that has not been used for several months due to mechanical

and mileage issues.• Voted to go out for

bids to construct an access road for the west intercep-tor sewer project.

• Heard Mayor Walt Marini met with represen-tatives from Sullivan’s gro-cery store. There is a water line on the property, that if moved, would allow for two more lots for commer-cial development.

SPRING VALLEY — While most other school districts are clamoring to make do with little state aid for transportation, Spring Valley Elementary has enough to last at least until the end of the year.

“I’m about as happy about transportation at this time of year as I can get,” Superinten-dent Jim Hermes said at Wednesday’s school board meeting.

The fund has about $60,000 in it, which is more than enough to last until the end of the school year. While transportation is good for now, the district did receive some bad news about equalized assessed valuation.

The EAV for the dis-trict dropped by about $2 million, which makes it roughly equiv-

alent to the EAV prior to the Walmart Distri-bution Center going on the tax books. The district is also behind

one state aid payment but did receive grant money this month.

DEPUE – The DePue School Board has filled its open seat on the school board.

On Wednesday, Paul Bosnich took the oath of office and was seated. The position has remained open since previous board mem-ber Laura Ortega resigned from the board in October.

Also on Wednesday, the board looked at bus bids from Illinois Central School Bus Co. and Johannes Bus Service.

Superintendent Randy Otto reviewed the bids with the board saying Illi-nois Central came in at $3,706.50 for the next three years. Johanna Bus-ing came in a little higher. However he pointed out Illinois Central had a high-er expense than Johanna Busing when it came to busing for extracurricular services. He said the differ-ence would eat up the sav-

ings they would get if they opted for Illinois Central. The board decided to table the bids until negotiations take place with how many buses will be needed for their routes next year.

In other business, the board:

• Hired Tricia Musselman as Title I teacher and Kath-ryn Aguirre as junior high math teacher.

• Accepted the resigna-tions of Jessica Arteaga as aide and Diana Enbom as junior high social studies teacher.

• Accepted the resigna-tion of Brenda Salas as junior high cheerleading coach and hired Felica Coster for the position.

• Rehired all non-certi-fied personnel.

• Approved Angela Rich-ards as seventh-grade track coach.

• Approved a 3 percent raise for the superintendent for the 2013-14 school year.

Year 2014 Illinois State Board of Education Maintenance Grant for “site work.” The grant is a matching grant where the state contributes in $50,000, and the district puts in $50,000. Site work applies to gener-al work done at the school, but that description may not qualify.

• The board honored retiring sec-ond-grade teacher Deb Arbet for her 34 years of service in the district.

• Student Nathan Diaz was honored for finding a envelope with a large sum of money and turning it into the local police department. The police were able to get the money back to the appreciative owner.

“We’ve never had this situation before,” he said.

Village trustee Roger Harrison agreed with Behm, but questioned where the village would draw the line when the ADA has already nar-rowed their definition of what they consider a

service animal.“I’m not against

Miranda on this issue, I’m for it; but I’ve got to think about the whole community,” he said.

The board ultimate-ly agreed they would have to handle each case separately as it was brought to their attention. They agreed the current ordinance in place would have to

be amended to accom-modate Baker’s situa-tion.

Frost suggested put-ting a permitting pro-cedure in place where each case would be submitted to the zon-ing board, and the per-son would have to pay a modest application and register fee.

“You could have an ordinance that it’s got

to be a miniature ani-mal of some sort, ade-quate enclosure, and the animals have to be kept in a clean fash-ion,” he said.

Baker said if it came down to having to pay a fee for the service ani-mal, she would be will-ing to cooperate with the decision.

The board granted Baker permission to

bring her son’s goat back to their house and agreed to not have Frost file a complaint with the circuit court for the case. After questions and details are worked out, they village plans to have Frost write an ordi-nance to help regulate future cases.


On Friday, Hieronymus said state statute allows for a review of one-fourth of the precinct ballots, which was four precincts in the case of the Hall High School District. Thurs-day’s recount was done on Hall Precincts 1, 2, 3 and 6. Absentee and early ballots for those precincts were also recounted. The cost of the recount was $10 per precinct, paid by the petitioner.

Hieronymus said she had conflicting results from Thursday’s recount, but the recount would not have changed the official election results one way or the other. The official final count shows the Hall High School referendum was approved by three votes, regardless of what may have been found on Thursday’s recount.

Both sides of the issue were represented at Thursday’s recount, Hieronymus said.

From here, the objec-tors could choose to file a petition in circuit court asking to have the April referendum count over-turned or declared inval-id, among other options. However, any petition must be filed in court by the end of the month, Hieronymus said.


The board also heard from Jill Guynn and Jordan Ellena with the local Uni-versity of Extension which serves Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam counties. The Extension rep-resentatives detailed some of the programs sponsored through the Extension and thanked the county for its previous finan-cial support through the years. The repre-sentatives requested $20,000 in support for the coming year.

After the presen-tation by the Exten-sion representatives, the county board approved the $20,000 request for the 2014 fiscal year budget.

CPASA promotes ‘I Choose’ projectBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

PRINCETON — Poster boards filled with messages of hope and encouragement, fun, sports and school were all part of Bureau County’s observance of the National Prevention Week.

The Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) partnered with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to promote May 13-18 as National Prevention Week. An estimated 70 local messages, along with photos of the people giving those messages, are posted on the CPASA website at www.cpasa.org.

CPASA project coordinator Dawn Conerton said the National Prevention Week is a national obser-vance to help raise awareness and spur collective action to prevent substance abuse and to promote mental, emotional and behavioral well-being. This year’s theme for National Prevention Week has been “Your voice. Your choice. Make a difference.”

Locally, CPASA teamed with SAMHSA to conduct an “I Choose” project as a way to encourage people to be positive examples and inspire others, Con-

erton said. CPASA worked with four area schools, the Bureau County Search and Rescue Team, and numerous individuals in developing and collecting the “I Choose” messages. Some of those messages were funny; some were heartfelt; but all were cre-ative and positive, she said.

“We liked the idea of going out into our commu-nities and taking photographs of individuals and groups who wrote personal messages on signs about why substance abuse prevention or mental health is important to them,” Conerton said. “The project was a natural fit considering CPASA’s mission to work together to reduce substance abuse among youth in Bureau and Putnam Counties.”

In addition to the Bureau County outreach, CPASA members also worked with teens and adults in Put-nam County to become involved with the “I Choose” project.

Conerton said she hopes the public will take the time to go through the “I Choose” messages and pho-tos on the CPASA website. Hopefully, those photos and messages will be an encouragement for others to choose positive messages for themselves.

Tassel hassle

My kids are growing up, and I don’t like it. My son has now been around for two decades, and my 7-year-old girl will be turning 25 in July. At least it seems like it. Her latest attempt at adding years to her looks is by wearing those fake glasses that have lenses that don’t do anything. They look pretty good on her, and she knows it; but I told her that it’s a slap in the face to all of us people who have to wear glasses to be able to see. She looked down over the nosepiece of her new spec-tacles and informed me that she really didn’t care.

Last weekend, the boy received his associate’s degree from Spoon River College in Canton, Illinois. He really didn’t want to go through the gradu-ation ceremony, but unfortu-nately for him, he has a mother that did. He may be 20, but he wasn’t going to win this battle.

It turned out to be a beauti-ful day, and we had a nice ride down to Canton. When I say we, I mean myself, my wife, my four-eyed daughter and my proud parents who wouldn’t miss going to something like this. On the way, we followed, met or encountered in some way, absolutely every piece of farm equipment the state of Illi-nois has to offer. Even though we left home fairly early, by the time we made it to my son’s house, it was time for him to get going.

The graduation was held at a location that was approximately 10-15 minutes from the actual college in the small town of Cuba, Illinois. Since we already had a full car, we took separate vehicles to the ceremony. The plan was that we were to follow him, since he knew where we were going. Inevitably, we some-how got split up. No big deal. It was just my son that needed to be there early. The rest of us still had plenty of time to arrive and find good seats.

However, for some reason, his cap and gown had ended up in our trunk, not his. My advice to all graduates this year ... never ever let your cap and gown out of your sight. You’ve earned them; you keep them. Trust me. It’s just better that way.

As we ambled around Cuba, looking for the graduation venue, we received a couple of cell phone calls from the graduate wondering where the heck we were. Actually I think he was much more concerned about the location of the gown and his funny little hat than he was about the whereabouts of five close family members, but I understood his predicament.

We pulled into the parking lot at about the same time he was supposed to be inside the building. So as my wife was approaching the curb to drop my parents off by the front door, I could see my son strid-ing through the rows of automo-biles to get to us. As I held the door open for my mom, he had my wife pop the trunk to get the aforementioned cap and gown.

As he picked up his garments, he decided he was going to throw the gown on right there in the parking lot. So he tossed the hat back in the trunk as he started putting his arms through the voluminous sleeves of the gown. I grabbed up the hat and shut the trunk, so that my wife could proceed to park the car while Mr. College finished dress-ing on the sidewalk in front of the building. Everything was going to work out fine.

The moment the trunk lid slammed shut, I happened to notice the tassel was not con-nected to the mortarboard hat. In fact, it was nowhere to be seen. My son and I looked wide-eyed at each other as we imag-ined him not having a tassel to push over to the other side. I believe that might nullify the whole two-year degree. Hope-fully the tassel was still in the trunk of the car which was just now starting to pull away from us.

Not wanting to cause a big fuss in front of the crowd of people who had come to see their friends and/or loved ones graduate from an institution of higher learning, I utilized a subtle technique in attempting to get my wife to stop the car. Instead of yelling “Hey!! Stop

the car!!!” and drawing any unwanted attention, I instead started following her bumper whispering, “Stop. Stop. Please stop.” and making strange hand gestures in hopes she would see me in the rearview mirror. She apparently did not. Or maybe she did. Either way, it worries me.

Meanwhile, my son followed as he continued to put on his royal blue graduation gown. Not to be left out, my bespectacled daughter also joined in on the slow-speed, silent chase through the bustling parking lot.

There we were, the three of us, me, silently whispering “stop” to myself while wav-ing about my “jazz hands” ... my son, basically putting on the equivalent of a blue, light-weight summer dress ... and my daughter, wearing glasses that she doesn’t need, briskly walk-ing behind an oblivious sage-green Mercury Montego that was going approximately one-half miles-per-hour faster than we were. We looked like a trio of crazed, dressed-up speedwalkers that didn’t make the cut for the 1976 Montreal Summer Olym-pics. Except slower.

A quarter of a mile later, we caught up to her. Actually, she parked the car. She wasn’t sure why we were there. I explained the situation. We all crossed our fingers as she popped the trunk and were happy to see the tassel laying on the donut-sized spare tire in all it’s tassely glory.

He made it to the ceremony on time, and everything else went just fine, although I think I saw several other of the grad-uation-goers pointing and snick-ering at us as we took our seats on the gymnasium floor. Jerks.

My brand new college gradu-ate is looking forward to an exciting future as he prepares to go off to Illinois State University next fall. He’ll probably do what 90 percent of most graduates do and hang that trouble-making tassel from his rear-view mirror.

For those of you who don’t know, the rear-view mirror is that reflective thing stuck in the middle of your windshield.

Considerations by Nedda

I watched a robin building a nest, and she can teach us all a thing about our own possessions.

She chose her building materials carefully and dis-carded many. Then she tucked, tugged, wrapped and occasionally sat down in the new house to see how it felt and perhaps check its structure. I actually saw her wriggle around to adjust things in her house. Now days later, she sits ... and sits ... and sits. Patience is called for now that the house is ready for new babies.

The tree holds the little home softly in its arms with the leaves hiding it from preda-tors and weather. Together they promote life. It reminds me of human communities that form sharing groups to encourage and support us in any life phase we are in.

I live in an old house, and it is sturdy as the trees that were used to build it. But it needs to be cared for and repaired when it shows wear ... just like a good nest that can be used year after year. Just spruce it up, and it is ready to hold more memories and growth.

It is our obligation to take care of our property. If we eventually can’t afford to or don’t have the energy, we need to let someone help us do the right thing. Property is like a living thing to me and has a history unique to it alone. It has breath, history and stories that tell us about ourselves and others who lived within.

Letting property rot down into neglect means being a poor neighbor and friend to a structure that has protected and sheltered us. Many structures have been made into new things. The materials or even the whole building can be used for other purposes. It is a dignified way for a building to go. Let it go with honor. We always have the memories, history and wisdom it had to offer us.

Have a discussion with your family what is to hap-pen with buildings after you are gone. Absent land-lords can easily forget the need for upkeep or some new purpose for the homestead. Those of us who buy property should also estimate how much upkeep it will take to maintain buildings over the years before considering taking possession. Just a suggestion.

As we age, we think the responsibilities will get smaller. Ha! Ask for help. Friends, relatives and sometimes perfect strangers will help us along our way. Just ask.

And of course, don’t forget to be kind.Nedda Simon of rural Princeton can be reached at

ican Legion Woman’s Auxiliary Unit 125 of Princeton will be out in the community at various businesses May 24 and 25 to offer red poppies to the public for donations.

Poppy chairman Ber-nice Burke announced that the monies realized from this year’s Poppy Day weekend will be used for expenses for the workshops the Unit does for local veterans in the four nursing homes the

Dr. Mary Bouxsein is awarded ESCEO-IOF Herbert Fleisch MedalROME — Dr. Mary

L. Bouxsein has been awarded the ESCEO-IOF Herbert Fleisch Medal in honor of her work in the field of skeletal fragility.

Bouxsein is a Princeton native and a 1982 Prince-ton High School graduate.

The annual award from the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporo-sis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) and the Interna-tional Osteoporosis Foun-dation (IOF), valued at 20,000 EUR, recognizes a researcher who has made outstanding and ground-breaking achievements in basic bone science.

The Medal was pre-sented on April 17 at an award ceremony held during the opening of the European Congress on Osteoporosis & Osteoar-thritis (ESCEO13-IOF), in Rome, Italy.

Professor John A. Kanis, IOF president, said, “The ESCEO-IOF Herbert Fleisch Medal is named in honour of the late Profes-sor Fleisch, a pioneer in osteoporosis research. We are pleased that Dr. Mary Bouxsein, whose work has considerably influenced knowledge about bone bio-mechanics, strength and microarchitecture, has been named the winner of this prestigious award.”

Bouxsein currently holds joint appointments as an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School, adjunct assistant profes-sor of mechanical engi-neering at Boston Univer-sity, and is also a fac-ulty member in the MIT-Bioastronautics Program. Her research focuses on understanding skeletal fragility from a biome-chanics viewpoint, and includes studies using ani-mal models and human cadaveric tissue, as well as clinical investigations. She also has a strong interest in the use of novel non-invasive imag-ing techniques to predict fracture risk and monitor

response to osteoporosis therapies.

Dr. Bouxsein serves on the Committee of Sci-entific Advisors for the International Osteopo-rosis Foundation and is

a Board Member of the International Bone and Mineral Society. She has published more than 145 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and invited reviews.

Regional baseball: Oregon 6, Princeton 1

Craziness as Tigers fall in regionals

BCR photo/Jeff SchlesingerPrinceton senior right-hander Matt Hayes delivers a pitch in Wednesday’s regional semifinal at Oregon. The Tigers lost to the host Hawks 6-1 in a game delayed by the weather and marred by bad hops and crazy plays. PHS ended its season at 12-10.

By Jeff [email protected]

OREGON — The Princeton Tigers base-ball season came to an end mainly due to one very freakish half inning. A key error, a crazy bounce and unexpected thunder helped the Oregon Hawks break what was shaping up to be a classic pitchers’ duel and blow the game open on the way to a 6-1 regional victory.

With the game tied 1-1 in the top of the fourth, Princeton senior Matt Hayes was matching Hawks’ ace and four-year varsity pitcher Alex Cain pitch for pitch.

After a misplayed seeing eye single to lead off the inning, it looked like Hayes would escape unscathed as he coaxed Sky-lar Short to hit into a double play.

Even after Adam Bettner ripped a solid single, it looked like the Tigers would come to bat in a tie game as Hayes got junior Joey Rowe to pop up in foul territory on the third base side. Catcher Logan Wilde seemed to have it in his sights when third baseman Caleb Dickens called him off and subsequently dropped what would have been the third out.

Given new life, Rowe promptly lined a soft single to right center which right fielder Tyler Marvin misplayed allowing Bettner to score all the way from first and break the deadlock.

After the next batter walked, Cain helped his own cause. With men on first and sec-ond, two strikes and two out, he ripped a

Regional baseball: St. Bede 7, Seneca 6 (10 innings)

Bruins lucky against IrishBy Bcr SportS Staff

[email protected]

The St. Bede Bru-ins rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat Seneca 7-6 in 10 innings in regional baseball semifinal play Wednesday at Ottawa Marquette.

Austin Schwab reached on a throwing error in the bottom of the 10th before scoring the game-winning run on a short sacrifice fly in foul territory near the first base fence by Brandon Piotrowski.

St. Bede coach John Bellino said the Bruins (18-2) were fortunate to win and outhit by the

Irish 13-6. Seneca strand-ed 12 runners, including five in scoring position.

“ ( S e n e c a ) deserved to win. I mean they shut us down for the major-ity of the game. We waited until the sixth inning to get things going and you can’t do that at this time of the year,” Bellino

told Shaw Media Service. “We’re very fortunate.”

Seneca outhit the Bru-ins 13-6, but stranded 12 runners, five of which were in scoring position.

Irish pitcher Austin Applebee retired the first nine batters he faced and took a no-hitter into the fifth. Brandon Pietrowski

and Jake Postula hit safely and Sam Lucas delivered a bases-loaded triple to cut the Irish lead to 5-4.

Schwab had a game-tying, two-run hit in the seventh to tie the game at 6.

“Austin has been a good hitter for us all year,” Bel-lino said.

Damin Smith came on relief in the seventh, pitch-ing three scoreless innings to notch the victory.

The Irish took a 5-0 lead on Brian Bergeson’s home run in the second.

The Bruins (18-2) advance to Saturday’s championship game, fac-ing the host Crusaders, who knocked off No. 2 seed Hall 8-1 on Thurs-day. Gametime Saturday is 11 a.m.

Regional softball: Mendota 5, Princeton 4 (10 innings)

Lady Trojans trip Tigresses in 10 inningsBy Kevin hieronymuS

PERU — Princeton pitcher Madison Menzel wrangled her way out of trouble in the sev-enth, eighth and ninth innings, keeping Princeton in conten-tion of Wednesday’s Class 2A regional semifinal vs. Mendo-ta at St. Bede. Even Houdini could only escape his traps so many times.

Mendota pitcher Ashlyn Ken-

nedy singled to lead off the bot-tom of the 10th and scored one out later on a game-winning hit by teammate Mary Wack-erlin. After a quick review of the scorebooks over a cour-tesy runner entry earlier in the game for Wackerlin, the Men-dota catcher, Mendota walked off with a come-from-behind, extra-inning 5-4 victory.

“The kids battled and never gave up,” PHS coach Bob James said. “We had some missed

opportunities we didn’t take advantage of. Same thing by them, good hard fought game. Missed opportunities both ways.

“We got out of some jams, I was proud of them for that. We adjusted our defense and got out of those situations on some good pitches and some good defense. In the end, it didn’t work out that way.”

4 to go to finalsBy Kevin hieronymuS

CHARLESTON — Lindsey Hoffert has jumped herself back into conten-tion for another medal in the IHSA State Track and Field competition.

The Bureau Valley sophomore is ranked fourth overall in the 1A long jump competition with a jump of 16 feet, 11 3/4 inches in Thursday’s pre-lims at O’Brien Stadium on the cam-pus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. She was the state runner-up in the long jump a year ago.

Classmate Regan Weidner is ranked 13th heading into Saturday’s 3200 meter run based on sectional seeding. She placed third last year. There are no state prelims in the 3200.

They will be joined in the 1A finals by Kewanee’s Freya Block, a senior from Neponset. She is in position to medal twice in the weights, ranked second in both the discus (121-6) and shot put (40-4 3/4).

Princeton’s Zoe Mead (800) is the lone qualifier for the 2A finals.

Hoffert, who used a jump of 17-8 to place second last year, was happy to advance, but not satisfied. BV coach Dale Donner said Hoffert missed her mark on the board.

“I felt all right, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted,” Hoffert told Shaw Media Service. “I still feel I have some-thing better, and I’m happy to have one more day to show it.”

Hoffert just missed qualifying in the 200 meters by one place with a 13th-place time of 27.34.

Mead came in seeded fourth in both of the 800 and 400. She will go into Saturday’s finals in the 800 ranked 10th with a prelim time of 2:19.54. Running about 15 minutes after com-pleting her 800, Mead failed to advance

ing freshman, was rolling early in the game, riding a 3-0 lead and a no-hitter through four innings.

PHS scored in the top of the second when Makenzey Wilson singled and took second on a wild pitch before scoring on a base hit by Mollie Bates.

One swing of the bat by sophomore Abby Jaques made it 2-0 with a long blast over the left field fence, her fourth round-tripper in three games.

Sydney Hall was hit by a pitch with one out in the fifth and a pair of field-er’s choice brought in courtesy runner Jaimee Cieslieski after an adventurous run around the bases.

Menzel retired 11 straight batters leading into the home half of the fifth. She walked the leadoff batter, who was followed by a bunt hit by Mallory Defore and a walk to Haley Walters to load the bases. Brooke Carroll ripped a two-run double that got past right fielder Alisa Holmbeck to make it 3-2

Kennedy’s comebacker brought home Carroll with the tying run with Menzel recording the out at first. An errant pickoff throw to third by Jaques brought Carroll in with the go-ahead run for a 4-3 Mendota lead.

Princeton was down to its last out in the top of the seventh, but Jaques kept the Tigresses alive with a base hit. She took second on a wild pitch and scored the tying run on Kat Pranka’s double to left.

PHS got two on with one out in the ninth on base hits by James and Dani-elle Hughes. Jaques (3-5) followed with a smash to left field, which proved to be hit too hard to allow James to score from second. Kennedy got Wilson on a pop up to third and Pranka on a flyout to right end the threat.

With the loss, James had to say

good-bye to his four seniors, including his daughter, Heidi, Wilson, Hall and Pranka.

“That’s tough. It will be worse when we get home probably,” said James, who shared a hug with his daughter in the dugout. “That’s tough. Makes me choke up, just for the passion of the game and everything. All four seniors gave their heart and soul, so that’s tough for them.”

Notes: The host and top-seed St. Bede Lady Bruins await Mendota (11-12) in Saturday’s regional title game at 11 a.m. at the Academy diamond. St. Bede coach Bill Prokup and staff joked that ace pitcher Lainie Schweickert will be in the circle even if they have to take her out there in a wheelchair. St. Bede moved into the finals with a 7-1 win over Somonauk on Tuesday. The regional champ advances to the Oregon Sectional on Tuesday.

low line drive to center field. It was hit so hard that center-fielder Isaiah Taylor, who looked to be positioned perfectly to play it on one bounce, most likely would have been able to prevent any runs from scoring.

But then crazy occurred. The ball must have hit a divot or a rock or something as it bounced high up in the air over Taylor’s head and all the way to the fence for a bases-clearing triple. Cain would score a couple pitches later when Hayes uncorked a wild pitch, making the score 5-1.

“The reality is they didn’t beat us as much as we beat ourselves,” said Princeton coach Tim Taylor. “We gave them every run they scored. We didn’t put the bat on the ball enough.”

After the Tigers finally escaped the nightmarish top of the fourth, Wilde was about to come to the plate to lead off the bot-tom half when things got even stranger.

With the sun shining brightly, thunder was heard overhead. The umpires, as per IHSA rules, cleared the field and began the clock for the delay (play cannot resume until 30 minutes

after the last thunder/lightning). Two and a half minutes of rain and a few more claps of thun-der and the delay was stretched out to about 50 minutes.

While the Tigers were generous in giving runs away, Cain and the Hawks did not return the favor. Cain pitched a complete game, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out seven.

The Hawk defense slipped in the first inning as an infield error brought the only run in, but it was flawless after that.

Fifth-seeded Oregon, who had to travel to Ster-ling for a play in-game against Sterling Newman on Monday, now advanc-es to the regional cham-pionship Saturday morn-ing against Mendota. The Trojans defeated No. 2 seed Forreston 3-2.

“Pitching is the key to our advancement,” said Hawk coach Adam Albrecht. “Murray pitched a really nice game in Newman and Cain did a great job tonight. We know that if we can give him (Cain) some sup-port, even a little bit of support, we’ll be in the game.”

After earning the first seed, the Tigers come home disappointed but much improved over last season and plenty of rea-son to look forward to

next year. Finishing 2013 at 12-10, the Tigers only graduate four seniors. With a talented group of underclassmen to add to an experienced group of juniors, expectations are high for next year.

“I would’ve liked to win this game for the seniors,” Taylor said. “The seniors have had great leadership this year. I couldn’t be more proud of the way they carried themselves on and off the field. We have a lot of juniors com-ing back and have some good underclassmen so we’re looking forward to a good future.”

Regional baseball: Marquette 8, Hall 1

Hall tumbles in regional semifinalBy DeRek JohnSon

[email protected]

OTTAWA — Hall’s baseball squad traveled to Ottawa to face Ottawa-Mar-quette in regional play Thursday eve-ning. The bats were quiet for the first three innings and unfortunately for the Red Devils when hits started coming in they were off the opposing bats.

The Crusaders opened with a 2-0 lead and ultimately won 8-1 on the strong performance from starting pitcher Evan Snyder. Hall only managed two hits against Snyder. Hall starting pitcher Brett Fanning had a good day as well

only giving up two runs.“Doesn’t matter with those guys, two

strikes, two outs they’re (Marquette) up here hitting. That’s what they do,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. “We were able to hang around a little bit there until the seventh inning. Unfortunate-ly, it just snowballed on us. Balls were getting hit into the outfield and Snyder really did a number on us.”

In the fourth inning, the Crusaders’ Curtiss Johnson led off with a base hit and quickly moved to third during teammate Logan Sparks at-bat. Sparks eventually hit a single to score Johnson.

The Crusaders added another run

in the sixth to go up 2-0 on an error. The game was within Hall’s grasp going into the seventh, down only two runs. That’s when the floodgates opened.

Patrick Killilea got things started with a base hit and Fanning was relieved by Danny Nolasco. Nolasco allowed five hits, two doubles, and five runs before he was relieved by Pete Mautino. Mau-tino gave up one more run and all of a sudden Hall was down 8-0 with only half an inning left to play.

Miguel Villareal walked to start the inning and eventually made it across the plate via base hits from Zach Urbanski and Mautino.

Dean to get back in the game at SaukBy kevin hieRonymuS

[email protected]

PERU — When the basketball season was over this year at St. Bede Academy, Lady Bruins standout Mo Dean had enough of the game, telling the BCR she was going to go to college and just be a student. Turns out, she wasn’t ready to walk away from the game after all.

On Wednesday morning, the 2013 BCR Player of the Year signed to continue her hoops career with Sauk Valley Com-munity College in Dixon, and is ready to play again.

“I was burnt out, a little tired,” she said. “But I’ve really did miss basketball. Being a part of a team is something you’ll hold on to for the rest of your life.”

Dean said Sauk was just a good fit for her. She had consid-ered IVCC.

“It’s far enough away from IV. I’ve lived her all my life,” Dean said of the Illinois Valley. “I’ll get to experience some-thing new and different. It’s only an hour away and I can come home if I miss it.”

Dean said she found every-thing positive at Sauk and coach Jedidiah Johnson, whom she called a laid-back kind of person.

Sauk, McGunnigal said, will allow Dean an opportunity to grow as a player and as an indi-vidual. He said he was proud she took the chance to go for a visit and not sell herself short on her ability.

“She will gain a little bit of independence by being away from home which will be good for her to rely on herself a bit,” he said. “Coach (Johnson) has a good system of each of

Community Banking WeekKeep Your Money In Your CommunityFinancial concerns are a leading cause of stress.

Here are some new ways to save money.• Examine the contents of your storage unit.

Storage units can be a waste of money when they’re used as a place to store clutter.

• Take inventory of your unused gift cards before your next shopping trip. Recipients may forget about them after they’ve been stashed in a mail drawer or purse that has been retired to the back of the closet.

• Stop wasting food. Store foods so that they are easily visible in the refrigerator. Simply buying frozen vegetables can help prolong shelf life and save you money.

• Put loose change to good use. While not much can be purchased for under $1 these days, that doesn’t make loose change worthless. Coins

can quickly accumulate and add up to big bucks. • Stop losing receipts. Missing receipts often

deter people from going to a store to return or replace items that do not fit or did not work out. Instead, be mindful of receipts, always opting to have them put into your wallet instead of just leaving them in the bag.

• Make payments on time. Those few dollars in late fees or several hundred dollars in interest can quickly add up.

each of his players check-ing in with him each morning in the fitness center to be sure she is getting to class and they have good interschool communication between faculty and Coach John-son. She felt really com-fortable with him and how he coaches. For just being a short way from home, she is getting a great college experience and a tremendous oppor-tunity for herself to really leap into the next phase of her life.”

On the court, McGun-nigal said Dean is a very talented basketball player that will still develop skills.

“Getting to the next

level where they can really focus on individual work and position play, she is going to flourish. I really feel that she will take off with Coach Johnson and his assistants and have a great two years there which will hopefully lead to more for her,” he said.

If the opportunity would come along to continue her career at a four-year school down the road, Dean said she would possibly be open to that. The 6-2 center played big for the Lady Bruins, averaging 14.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Dean plans to study pub-lic relations and mass com-munications at Sauk.

in the 400 with a time of 1:00.3, sixth best in her heat.

“She was about two sec-onds off her 800 time, but hung on to make the finals,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said. “I knew it was going to be tough, because there was some girls in her heats that ran 58, 59 in their sectionals in bad weather, but had run 56s and 57s before. I knew that’d be a tough double any-way.”

Both Bureau Valley sopho-more Sydney Lebahn (dis-cus) or Amboy/LaMoille senior Autumn Smith (shot), just missed the 1A finals cut. Lebahn was ranked 13th with a toss of 107-10, need-ing a 110-3 to advance.

“She was disappointed. When you’re that close, you get a little greedy. But she had two of her best four throws of the year down here,” Donner said. “I told her if she wouldn’t have had her best throw (at section-al) she wouldn’t have never

made it. She was close she almost got there.”

Princeton’s Phoenix Smallwood came up short in her quest to qualify for the jumps in 2A once again. She placed fifth in her flight in the long jump at 16-2 3/4 and 20th overall. She jumped 34-3 1/2 in the triple jump, seventh in her flight and 22nd overall.

“She wanted to come down and medal,” Hodge said. “It was a little tougher than the indoors. There were some girls in Southern Illinois that

didn’t jump at the Prep Top Times so the competition was a lot tougher than it was in the indoor meet.”

Like Hoffert, Hodge said Smallwood had trouble hit-ting her board.

The last week in practice even in practice, too, she wasn’t hitting the board right and when she did jump wellshe wasn’t on the board,” Hodge said. “If you get off there, sometimes it’s hard to get rhythm back.”

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

(May 18, 2013)Terri LawrenceExecutive DirectorTri-County Opportunities Council405 Emmons AvenueRock Falls, Il. 61071(815)625-7830 On or about May 28, 2013 Tri-County Opportunities Council will request THE Illinois Housing Development Authority to submit a request to the HUD Regional Office, 77 West Jackson St., Chicago, IL to authorize the release of HOME

Investment Partnership funds under Title (II) of the (National Affordable Housing Act) of 19( 90 ), as amended, to undertake a project known as (the Tri-County Opportunities Council’s Homebuyer Assistance Program with Rehabilitation SHB-50659), for the purpose of down payment, closing costs and rehabilitation assistance for the benefit of low- and very low-income buyers of single fam-ily dwellings in Bureau, Carroll, Ogle, LaSalle, Lee, Putnam, Marshall, Stark and Whiteside Counties, Illinois. $500,000 has been set aside for this mod-erate rehabilitation, and program related adminis-trative expenses. The activities proposed ARE CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDED UNDER HUD REGULATIONS AT 24 CFR PART 58 FROM NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the envi-ronmental determinations for this project is on file at Tri County Opportunities Council 405 Emmons Avenue Rock Falls, Illinois and may be examined or copied weekdays ( 9:00 ) a.m. to ( 4:00 ) p.m.

CONDITIONS The current Environmental Review Record rep-resents the first of a two-tiered review. The Environmental Review identifies which statutes will be reviewed and what steps taken to complete the review for each specific site.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit writ-ten comments on the ERR to the Homeownership Department, Illinois Housing Development Authority, Suite 700, 401 N. Michigan, Chicago, IL 60611. All comments received by May 27, 2013 will be considered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority prior to submission of a request for release of funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The Illinois Housing Development Authority cer-tifies to HUD that it’s Executive Director or Chief Operating Officer HIS/HER capacity as Executive Director or Chief Operating Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows Tri- County Opportunities Council to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS The Department of Housing and Urban Development will accept objections to its release of funds and the certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the cer-tification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s; (b) the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmen-tal quality. Objections must be prepared and sub-mitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the HUD Community Planning and Development Director at 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.Published in the Bureau County Republican May 18, 2013.

In the face of ever-rising education costs, students – including many of the area’s best – are discovering they can save thousands by attending IVCC first. This year, 13 of the district’s top high school graduates, including six valedictorians, are attending IVCC. Over the past five years, 44 of the area’s top students chose IVCC first and saved $30,000 or more.

2012 Helen Taylor Scholars include Nadia Churchill-Gilstrap, Princeton valedictorian, left, Joe Dimmig, Mendota valedictorian, Joe Sydlowski, LP salutatorian, Ashlee Heider, LP top two percent, Marissa Washington, Streator valedictorian and Hannah Kosciewicz, Hall top two percent.
