Coalition plans for disaster

By Goldie [email protected]

PRINCETON — Sep-tember is recognized as National Preparedness Month.

During this time, national, regional and local public and private organizations are working to educate the public on how to better prepare for emergencies — whether it be for natural disasters, mass casualties, biologi-cal and chemical threats, radiation emergencies, terrorist attacks, etc.

In Bureau and Putnam counties, there is a coali-tion made up of several

emergency agencies who work together all year round in strategically planning and preparing for possible disasters that could occur within the two-county radius.

Some may have heard of it —it’s the Bureau/Putnam Emergency Pre-paredness Community Partners (BPEPCP).

When disaster strikes, emergency crews are trained to response to the

scene and assist victims in whatever the case may be. However, there’s more to it than just fire crews, police and ambulances arriving on scene. It takes coordination, communi-cation and effective plan-ning to efficiently meet the needs of those involved in the disaster.

The goals of BPEPCP are to build strong work-ing relationships between response parties; plan and

prepare for emergency events; reduce duplication of efforts minimizing the costs to the taxpayer; and meet federal, state and local mandates for pre-paredness activities.

Chairman of the BPEP-CP is Deb Wood, who is also the EMS coordinator and safety officer at Perry Memorial Hospital.

She explained before BPEPCP was formed, each emergency provider was

operating on its own.“Everyone was drilling,

but not at the same time. So people were involved in four, five or six drills, but we got the idea to host one cohesive drill, where we would all work together,” Wood explained.

The Euclid Chemical fire that occurred in Octo-ber 2012 is what really opened the eyes of many.

Up in smoke

By donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — With the recent news of the increased use of e-ciga-rettes among young peo-ple, officials at the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department want area young people to realize e-cigarettes are still dan-gerous.

One of the dangers of e-cigarettes right now is that the research is still out on the potential harm of e-cigarettes, said Bureau/Putnam County Health Department health edu-cator Dawn Conerton on Friday.

“While we are busy debating the benefits of e-cigarettes for current smokers, we are missing the fact that more and more youth are turning to e-cigarettes as their gate-way to smoking because of the belief that they are harmless. But in fact, e-cigarettes are poten-tially just as addictive as regular cigarettes, and the long-term effects of this new technology remain unknown,” Conerton said.

Possibly the biggest concern people should have with e-cigarettes and other vapor devices is that they are capable of being used to deliver other substances, including a potent form of marijuana called “wax” and virtual-ly anything else that can be reduced to an oil and delivered with heat, Con-erton continued. Unfortu-nately, recent information shared with CPASA (Com-munity Partners Against Substance Abuse, of which Conerton is coordinator)

suggests that wax is being to be used in this manner by youth in the local area, she said.

Health department administrator Diana Rawl-ings said the health depart-ment and its health educa-tors are working continu-ously to address issues related to smoking and the abuse of other substanc-es through its many pro-grams, including the for-mer Tar Wars program, the new Reality Program, and through cooperation with the many CPASA projects.

According to the recent report issued by the Cen-ters for Disease Control, more than a quarter of a million youth who had never smoked a conven-tional cigarette used elec-tronic cigarettes in 2013. That number reflects a three-fold increase, from about 79,000 in 2011 to more than 263,000 in 2013.

The CDC report, based on the 2011, 2012 and 2013 National Youth Tobacco surveys of middle school and high school students, shows that youth who had never smoked con-ventional cigarettes but who had used e-cigarettes were nearly twice as likely to intend to smoke con-ventional cigarettes as those who had never used e-cigarettes. Among non-smoking youth who used e-cigarettes, 43.9 percent said they intend to smoke conventional cigarettes within the next year, com-pared to 21.5 percent of those who had never used e-cigarettes.

Conerton said e-ciga-rettes is essentially an elec-tronic nicotine delivery

Health department: Research is still out on e-cigarettes

Stolen property recovered

By donna Barker [email protected]

PRINCETON — Stolen Bureau County property has been recovered in the Chicago area.

On Monday, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson issued a press release stating his inves-tigators recovered a large amount of construction

equipment on Sept. 17 which had been stolen during a burglary report-ed on Sept. 6 in Bureau County.

The victim, Donald Hubbard of rural Princ-eton, reported the bur-glary to his business property, during which the perpetrator(s) forced an entryway and removed a large variety of hand-operated construction

tools, Thompson said.Through the coopera-

tive efforts of the sheriff’s investigators, the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Sher-iff, the Bureau County authorities recovered the stolen tools from the greater Chicago metro-politan area. The recov-ered items have a report-ed/ estimated value of $50,000, Thompson said.

Because the burglary remains under investiga-tion by the sheriff’s inves-tigators, the suspects’ identities will not yet be

released, Thompson said.“It is noted, however,

the suspects have ties to both Chicago and com-munities within the Illi-nois Valley,” Thompson said.

In addition to the work with the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County Sheriff, Thompson thanked the local business of Senica’s Interstate Towing and Jeff Senica who provided sup-port for the recovery of the stolen items.

Paws for a CauseBy Goldie Currie

[email protected]

LAMOILLE — My Best Friend’s Training in LaMoille will be hosting their first ever Paws for a Cause fundraiser event this Saturday, Sept. 27.

This event is calling on all area dog owners to join in on a fun-filled afternoon with their furry friend, while at the same time supporting a great cause.

Jen Rhodes, owner of My Best Friend’s Train-ing, has put together a number of activities for dogs to partake in — everything from a best kisser contest, to highest jumper, best costume, fastest dog, best catcher and more.

There will be trophies and treats for the winners of each category.

The event is free and open to the public. For those who don’t have a furry friend but are inter-ested in seeing the fun, Rhodes invites everyone to come watch the fun.

Rhodes explained the money raised at Satur-day’s event will ben-efit the National Canine Cancer Foundation. The

foundation is a non-profit corporation dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health issue in dogs by funding grants which are directly related to can-cer research. These grants work to save dogs’ lives by finding cures, better treatments and accurate, cost-effective diagnostic methods in dealing with canine cancer.

“People don’t realize there is a foundation for dogs that will actually help you financially beat the disease or help the dog through the disease,” Rhodes said. “It’s for the cure. It’s for them to fig-ure out what’s causing these different cancers. There are so many differ-ent cancers in canines.”

Rhodes said this is a topic that hits home for her, as she raises Rottwei-lers who are more prone to cancer. Just last year, Rhodes lost her 2-year-old Rottweiler to cancer.

“That was it for me. I was at the point where I knew we have to do some-thing,” she said. “People don’t know this founda-tion is there to help them, and we’re looking to raise more awareness for it.”

Rhodes is looking for-ward to a great turnout

on Saturday. The event begins at 2 p.m. and will be held at the location of My Best Friend’s Training

at 28593 2650 North Ave-nue, LaMoille. There will be door prizes, a 50/50 drawing, activities for

children, refreshments and a bake sale. For more information about the event search for My

Best Friend’s Training on Facebook.


Event set to benefit canine cancer

All monies raised will benefit the National Canine Cancer Foundation. Also pictured is Rhodes’ daughter, Amanda Mancilla, with Kacy.

It became evident that a chain of command had to be set, along with better communication of who had what resources and from where those resourc-es would come.

“So we’ve been pulling

ourselves together ever since then,” Wood said.

Many have seen arti-cles or heard about the annual county-wide drills. Past drills have included the train vs. school bus in Ladd; the flooding of Wal-nut and DePue at the same time; tornado in Malden, chemical fire in Buda and more.

The drills allow the members of the coalition to plan out what would happen during that sort of incident and communi-cate about who has what to offer during that sort of disaster.

“We need to know who has what and where, because we are going to be really busy everywhere

during a disaster, and we’re not going to have a lot of help,” Wood said. “We got to figure out where we’re most needed and where we can help the most. It’s nice to have a coordinated response and to know who has what resources and where we can get those resources.”

The BPEPCP consists of a

number of area emergency response and public health organizations covering a spectrum of occupational specialties. They include BuEComm, Bureau and Putnam County Health Department, Princeton Fire Department, Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, Bureau County Coroner’s Office, Bureau County

Emergency Management Agency, Putnam Coun-ty EMA, CPASA, Medical Reserve Corps, Bureau County Mounted Search and Rescue, In-Home Care VNA, Bureau County Red Cross, Perry Memorial Hospital and St. Margaret’s Hospital.


system in which battery-powered vaporizers sim-ulate tobacco smoking by producing an aero-sol resembling smoke. A major difference between

e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is the vapor cre-ated in e-cigarettes is not the same as the smoke created by regular ciga-rettes. Also, e-cigarettes are capable of utilizing oils that can produce many different scents and flavors, as well as contain

substances other than nic-otine. However, some of those substances are more dangerous than nicotine, Conerton said.

“A primary argument for e-cigarettes is that they are less dangerous than regular cigarettes because they do not con-

tain many of the chemi-cals found in the smoke of regular cigarettes, mak-ing them a safer alterna-tive for smokers who have tried to quit and cannot, or for those people who realize they face risks with smoking but are not inter-ested in quitting altogeth-

er,” Conerton said. “While this may be true, the fact remains that the nicotine contained in e-cigarettes is still addictive. So while they may be safer in some ways, they carry new risks of their own.”

Two die from West Nile VirusBy Donna Barker

[email protected]

PRINCETON — The first deaths of the year from West Nile Virus have been confirmed in Illinois.

On Thursday, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Direc-tor Dr. LaMar Hasb-rouck announced two residents in Northern Illinois became ill with West Nile Virus (WNV) in late-August and early September and have died.

“Although we’ve seen a cooler and wetter sum-mer, which has resulted in less West Nile Virus activity, these deaths show the virus is cir-culating and can cause death,” Hasbrouck said. “Even with the cooler temperatures we’re see-ing now, until the first hard freeze, you still need to protect yourself against mosquito bites and possible West Nile Virus infection.”

To date this year, WNV-positive birds, mosqui-toes and/or human cases have been reported in 47 counties, Hasbrouck said. There have been 15 human cases so far

this year, with the first human case reported Aug. 8 in a Cook County man in his 30s.

In comparison, there were 117 residents diag-nosed with the West Nile virus in the 2013 season, resulting in 11 deaths. The first death for last year was reported Sept. 13, 2013.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department started its WNV surveillance of birds and mosquitoes in 2003 and has contin-ued to do so each year since. This year the local health department has three mosquito traps in Bureau County and one in Putnam County. Mos-quito testing is expected to end sometime in Sep-tember or with the first hard frost.

On Monday, local health department Director of Health Pro-tection Kurt Kuchle said the health department has tested 20 batches of mosquitoes so far this year and also sent four birds to the state lab for testing, with all return-ing negative.

Area residents should continue taking precau-

tions against mosquito bites up until the first hard frost, Kuchle said. There is still a chance of exposure to infected mosquitoes although it is a bit less due to the cooler temperatures, he said.

As recommended by the IDPH, residents should practice the 3Rs (Reduce, Repel, Report) to limit exposure to infected mosquitoes, Kuchle said. Residents should reduce exposure by avoiding being out-doors when mosquitoes are most active, making sure doors and window have tight fitting screens, and eliminating sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed.

People should also repel mosquitoes by wearing shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt when outdoors and apply-ing insect repellent that contains DEET, picari-din, oil of lemon euca-lyptus or IR 3535. They should also contact their local municipal govern-ment/health department to report dead birds or areas of stagnant water, Kuchle said.

Neponset Village Board

NEPONSET — The Neponset Village Board is discussing new pur-chases for the village and also a building demolition project.

At its Sept. 17 meet-ing, the village board discussed the purchase of a newer backhoe and truck, since the village’s current one is on its last wheels. The board will investigate different options and will put the purchase on the agenda for the October meeting.

The board did receive the copy of the village’s intergovernmental agree-ment with the townships and the agreement is now official, as voted

upon at the last meeting.The board learned

there was no new infor-mation on the building at 101 Commercial St., but a quote will be sought out to determine the cost to take the building down and dispose of it. The project will be addressed again at the next board meeting.

In trustee updates, Barb Jannie reported preparations are being made for the Halloween party. Also, the grade school has agreed to have the students paint the community trash con-tainers as a community project, she said.

Trustee John Pratt dis-tributed the police report for August.

Trustee Ken Snyder

reported the farmers’ market has ended for the year, but the village would like to have it back next year, with hopefully more participation from the village.

Snyder also reported Gregg Gunning has com-pleted his project with the electric work on the Commercial Street light poles. Gunning did a great job and the village Christmas decorations should be safe and beau-tiful this year, Snyder said.

Snyder said the vil-lage’s first fall clean-up is only a couple weeks away, Oct. 2-3, and the village will put out flyers to inform people of the places and times for the pick-up.

investigation and set the matter for a sentencing hearing for 1 p.m. Oct. 27.

Agnello was represented in court by Bloomington attorney Brendan Bukalski. Prosecuting the case was State’s Attorney Pat-rick Herrmann.

On March 22, an Illinois State Police trooper stopped an east-bound vehicle driven by Agnello on Interstate 80. After obtaining a consent to search the vehicle, the trooper found a bag of can-

nabis and a couple jars of can-nabis. Agnello was charged with possessing between 30 and 500 grams of cannabis. He posted $1,500 bond on March 24.

On March 26, Agnello reported to the Princeton Police Depart-ment that he was the victim of a robbery. On March 28, based on further investigation by the Princeton Police Department, Agnello was charged with disor-derly conduct for the false report of robbery on March 26.

Letter EditorTOTHE

Preaching to the choirTo the Editor,Being from the South (which is hot-

ter than the Devil’s hind end, right now), I cherished spending a few days in Princeton, enjoying the cool, windy weather and experiencing the extravaganza of Homestead Days — a tribute to your marvelous history, your ancestry and dang good people who are respectful of their heritage and traditions.

I am a self-published author, and I played a minor part in the festivities, signing and selling my books — one of which features a town that is a silhou-ette of Princeton. (“Starvin’ Dog and the Guardians”).

Many thanks to the wonderful peo-ple I met during my recent stay, and some of the folks I’ve come to know and love during 35 years of visiting.

Some folks down South could learn a lot about hospitality from you all; we are certainly not the sole owners of the term.

During my visits, I have learned a lot about the history of this place and Illinois: as a “Boomer,” one of my

favorite musicians, Dan Fogleberg, described rural Illinois at its best in a line from one of his songs, “Illinois, I’m Your Boy” — “Where the sky meets the land, and the living is not planned, and the children all laugh just cause they’re livin’…” Dan, born in Peoria, died, too soon, in 2007.

I learned during Homestead Days that there have been many Princeton-ians and folks connected to this area who have gained fame — too many to mention in this article, but I’ll name a few: Academy Award winner Richard Widmark, who lived briefly in Henry, Illinois, and was president of his class at Princeton High School; how about Keith Knudsen, drummer for the Doobie Brothers; The Great Com-municator Ronald Reagan, who lived right down the road in Dixon; Owen Lovejoy, his home was the receiving point for travelers on the underground railroad; the romantic poet, William Cullen Bryant, visited his family here, and their house is still occupied by a modern family; Abe Lincoln gave a speech in Bryant Woods before he became the Great Emancipator.

I apologize for rambling on; these

are factoids that you have known for a long time. Who am I to tell you about your town, your people? However, I did learn some things about present-day folks during Homestead that maybe some of you are unaware. They all have pretty much in common: Hard-working; living their lives quietly and decently; concerned about the future for their families and the future of their community, of which they are very proud.

They are proud of their ancestry too. Many folks I talked with are related to the families that settled here in the 1830s from New England and the mid-Atlantic States. But there I go again, expounding on subjects on which you are well-versed.

Thanks for your marvelous hos-pitality and kudos to the fine people who orchestrated a highly successful Homestead Days event! I look forward to visiting Princeton again at Thanks-giving … by the way, did I tell you that Princeton used to be called “The City of the Elms?” There I go again, preach-ing to the choir.

J.T. DossettLaFollette, Tenn.

Playing ‘punchout’ is not a gameI do use Facebook. It helps me keep

up with friends I don’t see very often. Sometimes, I wish it didn’t.

A friend of mine recently posted on a current news event. I’m not going to name him, but I found his view ... disturbing, to say the least. It reads as follows:

“So Ray Rice gets fined and sus-pended for his stupidity ... Then, TMZ releases video of said stupidity ... and the video causes Rice to get fired and then indefinitely suspended. So, the NFL literally quadrapunished Rice.”

For those who, somehow, have missed the issue, Ray Rice was — before this incident — a running back for the Baltimore Ravens. News came out a while back about an incident on Feb. 15 at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City when Rice was seen dragging his unconscious then-girlfriend/now-wife Janay Palmer from an elevator. The story was leaked stating Rice had hit Palmer, knocking her out. In response, the National Football League fined him and suspended him for two games.

Recently, the “news” service TMZ got a copy of film footage from the eleva-

tor’s camera and posted it on the web. It shows Rice hitting Palmer not once, but twice. The second punch was a left hook that would have knocked out Joe Frazier in his prime, and Palmer went down like a sack of potatoes, hitting her head on the elevator’s hand rail. The utter brutality of the video caused the Ravens to cut Rice from the squad and the NFL to suspend him from football indefinitely.

Meanwhile, since Rice entered a pretrial intervention program in May, he will receive a year’s supervision. If he behaves, the felony charge of third-degree aggravated assault will be expunged from his record. As it is, because he entered the program, he will not be prosecuted.

Let me repeat that. Rice will not be prosecuted for a third-degree felony of hitting a woman hard enough to

knock her unconscious.I looked up “unconsciousness” on

the web, looking for any possible side effects. Almost every medical website I went to directed me — not to a page on unconsciousness — to a page on concussions. Seems you can’t have one without the other. With the cur-rent hullabaloo about concussions in football and other sports, you can imagine what Palmer experienced.

Palmer — now Janay Rice — is rip-ping on the media for sticking its nose into their business. If you’re looking for a poster child for Stockholm syn-drome, there she is.

I’ve said it before. There is no excuse for a man to hit a woman unless you’re both in a ring in compe-tition. I believe in equality, but I also believe the inherent strength differ-ence between most — MOST — men and women should influence a man to restrain an angry woman attacking you instead of pounding their skull into the wall. Especially if your job description calls for putting other men on their face in the ground.

“Quadrapunished?” How about grossly underpunished?

Ken Schroeder

COMMENTARY

From the editor’s deskTa-da! It’s officially fall. Summer is just a memory

now, as we jump head-first into the fall season Mon-day evening. I love every season for what it brings, but for some reason, fall weather is invigorating — it stirs my soul and reminds me of things from yesteryear, while at the same time, the brisk weather urges me forward.

Fall affords me the beauty of Mother Nature’s paint-brush, who along with Jack Frost, brings us a palette of colors — a beautiful array of oranges, crimsons, red, purple and more ... The colors remind me life — even though winter is just around the corner — can be beautiful, and I must appreci-ate each moment, each season for what it brings.

Apples, pumpkins, the crunch of fall leaves under my feet, the smell of autumn in the air, the teasing cool breath of Jack Frost in the morning and late evening ... I wait for it all every year. I hope you’ll be able to carve out some time to enjoy this beautiful season. Take a fall drive. Carve some pump-kins. Make taffy apples. Whatever it is that says fall to you, I hope you’ll take the time to embrace autumn.

•••I attended the Illinois Valley Symphony Sunday

afternoon at Princeton High School. Wow! It was great. The talent showcased from folks in the Illinois Valley was wonderful. If you’ve never had the opportunity to see this home-grown symphony, I urge you to do so. You’ll see a lot of familiar faces on stage, and the music and talent will linger with you for a long time.

•••Just a reminder, our Women of Distinction Awards

luncheon tickets are on sale at the Bureau County Republican office, located at 800 Ace Road. Or you can call us at 815-875-4461, ext. 6320, to order your tickets with a credit card. The event is from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby.

As I’ve discussed before, this event will honor our six 2014 Women of Distinction — Donna Barker, Michelle Brady, Pam Lange, Mary Lanham, Eleanor Walker and Carole Yandel. But the event will be much more, as well.

Our awards luncheon will include keynote speaker Kathy O’Malley, co-host of the fun Kathy and Judy Show on WGN. It will also include a soup, salad, sand-wich, dessert luncheon that I guarantee you’ll be talk-ing about for a long time. Did I mention each person in attendance will receive a goodie bag, and there will be tons of door prizes?

All in all, you’ll be glad you came, and you’ll walk away feeling good about life and the women who comprise the Illinois Valley. I hope you’ll come. We’ll have a big time.

•••I’d like to offer a special congratulations to three

Bureau County churches celebrating huge anniversa-ries this month.

• St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Sheffield turned 160 years old.

• St. Patrick Catholic Church in Arlington turned 160 years old.

• St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church turned 165 years old.

Wow! In a place in time where things come and go, we can be proud of these three churches and the longevity they have achieved. On behalf of the BCR, I extend our heartfelt congratulations on your anni-versaries, and we wish you many more years to come.

•••Thoughts for this week:• “Autumn ... the year’s last, loveliest smile.” William

Cullen Bryant.• “But then fall comes, kicking summer out on its

treacherous (behind) as it always does one day some-time after the midpoint of September; it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the after-noon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.” Stephen King.

•••Have a great week. Life is not a dress rehearsal, so

enjoy every minute. Breathe. Exhale. And remember, you are important to me and the BCR.

Scott Cook will perform Saturday at Princeton Coffeehouse

PRINCETON — Cana-dian singer-songwriter Scott Cook will appear at the Princeton Coffee-house at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday. The coffeehouse is located at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princ-eton. Doors will open at 7 p.m.

With a home base in Canada’s Alberta prov-ince, Cook has become a tireless traveling song-writer/singer/storyteller. He has been called Can-ada’s prairie balladeer. Accompanying himself with guitar, banjo and ukulele, Cook draws on influences from folk and old-time country music to soul and blues. He has made his living play-ing music full-time since 2007, averaging 160 shows and 10 festival for the last seven years — in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia.

Since putting out his first CD, “Long Way To Wander,” in 2007, Cook has delivered a new record every two years: “This One’s On The House” (2009), “Moonlit Rambles” (2011), and his

latest, “One More Time Around” (2013). Cook produces his own work and even does his own album art.

Cook’s appeal is well described by his fellow Canadian songwriter David Francey: “Scott Cook has distilled his trav-

els down into songs pow-ered by a sharp eye for imagery, a healthy dose of humanity, and that unfor-gettable voice, that at the same time intones the rig-ors of the road and the most comfortable couch you have ever slept on.”

“Pass it Along,” the opening track of Cook’s most recent album, won the Folk and Acoustic category in the 2013 UK Songwriting Contest. He was also named Male Art-ist of the Year at the 2012 Edmonton Music Awards.

The Princeton Coffee-house offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music on a monthly basis from August through May (with the exception of Decem-ber). Admission is $15. Fair trade coffee, tea and homemade desserts are available at every perfor-mance.

Open Prairie, the per-formance venue for the coffeehouse, is complete-ly accessible and there is ample free parking near-by. For more information, visit www.theprinceton-coffeehouse.com or call 815-872-6501.

Princeton Christian Academy notes staff changes

PRINCETON — Princ-eton Christian Academy begins the new school year with some former staff in new positions.

Tom Odell, who has taught Bible at PCA for the last six years and served as vice principal last year, has moved into the prin-cipal position for 2014-15. Odell is an ordained minister of the gospel and received his degree from Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music.

Marty Kiser, who has served as PCA principal since 2005, is taking on the position of vice prin-cipal this year. She has also taught junior high language arts for most of those years at PCA, and she will continue to do so this year, adding sixth-grade language arts to her class load as well. Prior to serving at PCA, Kiser taught English, speech and theater in public high schools for 23 years. Kiser received her degree in English and theater edu-cation from Illinois State University.

Bridget Van Den Buss-che has served at PCA in the past as kindergarten teacher for two years and librarian for five years, but this year she will teach fifth-grade language arts along with her librarian

duties. Van Den Bussche has a degree in education from Augustana College, and she formerly taught at Princeton High School for eight years.

Kirsten Wolbrecht has served PCA in the past as substitute teacher, lunch supervisor, and track and cheerleading coach. This year she will be teaching Spanish and computer classes to students in kin-dergarten through fourth grade. Wolbrecht is a graphic artist and is also pursuing a degree in web development. Wolbrecht claims Spanish as her native language, spend-ing her childhood living

in Mexico City. She will continue to coach cheer-leading and track at PCA this year as well.

Princeton Christian Academy embraces these changes necessitated by growth in enrollment and the need for more class-es this year. PCA offers instruction for students in preschool through eighth grade in all core subjects as well as Span-ish, computer, Bible, art, vocal and instrumental music, physical educa-tion, and a large range of extra-curricular activi-ties. PCA is located 2 miles northeast of Princ-eton on Route 34.

WALNUT – Quite fitting-ly, a storm was about to brew at Saturday’s Bureau Valley cross country Invi-tational.

To speed the event up, the first race began 15 minutes before the sched-uled start time, catching Megan Grady off-guard.

“Before the race, I gagged and I thought I was going to puke,” the Amboy sophomore said. “I didn’t know the race was going to be moved up 15 minutes. I ate a lot for breakfast.”

Encountering the cir-cumstance, Grady fought through to finish in sec-ond place on the 3-mile course behind Annawan-Wethersfield’s Kirstie Ramsey.

Grady, who finished in 19 minutes, 37 seconds, bested her time from last year by 12 seconds. Making her way down the course’s large hill, Grady followed about 20 feet behind Ramsey until Kaitlyn Cline, also of Annawan-Wethersfield, caught up to her at the

1-mile mark.Cline eventually fell off

pace, allowing Eva Bruno of Seneca to catch up and try for second place. Bruno passed Grady, but once the runners scaled the course’s hill on the final straightaway Grady pushed ahead once more and held on for the finish.

“I was just motivated to get done,” Grady said. “I didn’t want to go home without a medal. I really wanted to get done with this, especially because it’s Homecoming week. I wanted to get done for that.”

Ramsey had gradually built an insurmountable lead to finish in 19:10,

leading the Titans to the team title with 90 points.

Bureau Valley had the best area team finish, placing ninth behind sis-ters Haley Weidner (14th place, 20:40) and Regan Weidner (15th place, 20:43).

The Storm and Erie/Prophetstown each scored 269 points with the Pan-thers getting the edge for eighth by the sixth-man tiebreaker. Also for BV, Riley Francis came in 59th

By BCr SportS [email protected]

WALNUT — Hall senior Al Baldonado was the top area runner in Saturday’s boys race at the Bureau Valley Invitational cross country meet in Walnut.

B a l d o -nado placed third with a time of 16 m i n u t e s , 21 seconds. He followed race win-ner Tan-ner Chada (16:08) of

Aurora Christian and runner-up Seth Williams (16:11) of Rock Falls) across the line, and he was 11 seconds ahead of fourth-place Bryson Reyes of Newman.

Hall coach Tom Keegan said Baldonado had his best BV Invite time and placement of his career.

“To say that you were the third-place finisher in this invite, which I feel is a prestigious one, has got to make you feel good. The next benchmark will

be Amboy and then it’s off to the postseason,” Keegan said.

Team champ Newman had three Top 10 finishes and five Top 25 finishes to take the title, defeating Westmon 24-41.

Behind Baldonado’s lead, James Blackburn of Amboy/LaMoille fin-ished 21st (17:46); Cody Workman of Princeton finished 39th (18:37); and Yulian Osorio of Bureau Valley finished 46th (18:47).

Tigers come in two strokes short in PITBy Kevin HieronymuS

[email protected]

PRINCETON — In a way, Princeton golf coach Duane Price said having the Tigers finish second by just two strokes in Sat-urday’s Princeton Invita-tional at Chapel Hill Golf Course summarized their week.

Despite not having a golfer in the top seven, Rock Falls checked in at the clubhouse with a team tally of 339. The Tigers, who boasted two medal-ists in the Top 6, came in just two strokes back at 341 for second place.

The Tigers had lost to Fulton on a fifth-man tie-breaker on Monday and then beat Sherrard on a fifth-man tiebreaker on Wednesday.

“While we always aspire to come out on top, this week proves that we are competing every time out and getting better in prep-aration for the postseason. And, with Rock Falls in the same regional as us, we’ll need to continue improv-ing our games in order to, hopefully, beat them to advance to sectional as a team,” Price said.

IVC’s Jarom Hutsom was medalist with a one-over-par 73, three strokes

ahead of Mendota’s Jaron Robinson.

Ian “Shorty” Nich-ols (77) and Colby Rob-bins (80) both came in as medalists for the Tigers, placing fourth and sixth, respectively. Also for PHS, Colin Pierson came in at 91, while Miles Rose, Colton Erven and Josh Eggers each shot 93s.

Price said he’s not sur-prised that Nichols, who lost out on the Handicap Hole tiebreaker with Hall’s Ryan Ott for third place, played well on his home course.

“He’s played this course for years, so he definitely had some home course advantage over the visiting team,” Price said. “Also, he’s tweaked a few things with his swing, and with

his already strong short game, that makes him a very solid golfer. Let’s hope he continues the improved play as we prepare for the TRAC golf tournament and the Freeport Regional.”

Sophomore Robbins continues to play well for a sophomore, Price said.

“Many forget that he’s only a soph-omore, who is growing physically and mentally on the course. I helped him make some swing changes last week, and from what he told me, he feels he is hit-ting the ball much more consistently. This confidence with his full swing will hopefully fuel some improvements with his short game as well.

“Though he’s had some rounds he’d like back, the recent changes have him playing well as the postseason nears.”

Ott, who also shot a 77, gained the Handicap Holes tiebreaker over Nichols with a par 4 on the No. 1 handicap hole, No. 3. Nichols shot a bogey 5.

Hall coach Tom Bauer said Ott had the best 18 hole round of his career, despite and out of bounds and two three putts. Bauer pointed out Ott’s pars on No. 2 and 12 and two birdies as his key.

“This round comes after his 82 at Kewanee where he finished 13th,” Bauer said. “I’m looking forward to a really good finish the two weeks for his senior year.”

The Red Devils (348) placed fourth as a team with Matt Hoscheid and Aaron Mitchell carding 89s and Avery Detmers a 93.

St. Bede finished fifth as a team, led by medalists Jarret Olson and Adam Len-

kaitis, both shooting 83s to place ninth and 10th, respectively. Also scoring for the Bruins were Jack Kunkel (92) and Col-lin Giordano (95).

Jay Norden topped Bureau Valley golf-ers at 102.

Area roundup

Little Giants are king on homecoming

By Kevin [email protected]

The DePue Little Giants were king on the soccer pitch for Saturday’s home-coming game vs. Port Byron River-dale.

The Little Giants court reigned over the Rams 4-0 with goals and assists from three differ-ent players.

Heber Moreno got the Little Giants on the board first on a goal assisted by Alberto Martinez.

Salvador Raya made it 2-0 at halftime, assisted by Heber Moreno.

DePue scored in the second half on goals by Adrian Perez and Heber Moreno, assisted by David Moreno

DePue keeper Rafa Puga had 10 saves on goal, including a penalty kick save to earn a clean sheet

While DePue dominat-ed in time of possession, coach Tim Stevens noted the game could have eas-ily been 2-2 at halftime, had it not been for two

key saves on a break away in the box and a blocked penalty shot.

“It is always nice to get a win on homecoming, but now it is time to focus on

the second half of the season,” Ste-ven said. “We have a great group of individual talent but still need to come together as a team.”

Princeton 3, Ottawa 0: After playing to a scoreless stalemate at halftime, the Tigers broke through with three goals in the second half.

Brenton Schmidt got the Tigers on the board in the 57th minute, assisted by Tanner Kuhne.

Three minutes later, freshman Jayden Pinter scored unassisted.

Tyler Webster with an assist by Drew Pranka closed the scoring with a goal in the 71st minute.

The Tigers outshot the Pirates 11-2 with PHS keeper Isaac Salazar mak-ing the save on both Otta-wa shots.

“It was a good solid

overall match,” PHS coach David Gray said. “We worked hard and held possession well. We need to build on this and carry it over to next week.”
