Hall: Good news and bad news

By Becky [email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — The Hall High School Board of

Education received both good and bad news from auditor Dave Wilcoxson during the presentation of the Fiscal Year 2014 audit.

The audit looks at many aspects of school finances, but the main area of focus is in the following funds: Education, operating and maintenance, transpor-tation and working cash. During the past year, there was deficit spending of

$398,000 in these funds. The good news is there is still reserve money in each of the funds, but the bad news is there is not a large balance. Wilcoxson explained these balances are quickly dwindling and will not last long without an increase in revenue or a decrease in spending.

Wilcoxson explained to the board this lower score is mostly due to cuts in

state funding. Hall has lost approximately $500,000 in funding from 2010 to present.

The overall audit score went down from 3.8 last year to 2.8 this year, which puts Hall High School on a financial warning list. Superintendent Mike Struna will be required to adopt a deficit reduction plan.

Struna reviewed the dis-

trict’s FY ‘14 report card which will be released to the public at the end of October. Some of the highlights include a 94 percent attendance rate which is down slightly from the year before. Stru-na said their biggest prob-lem with attendance is on Mondays. The staff and administrators are going to meet to make a plan to address this issue.

The 2014 graduation rate was 89 percent which is up significantly from 2013’s rate of 78 percent.

Fifty-six percent of the students at Hall High School met or exceed-ed the state standards in reading but only 43 percent met or exceed-ed in math. There was a significant growth in the

County board hears update

on health issues

By Donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department is con-tinuing to monitor various health issues, including the flu, West Nile Virus and now the Ebola virus.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Bureau County Board in Princeton, Loretta Volk-er, who serves as the coun-ty board’s representative on the county’s health board, reported there have been daily meetings with the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Con-trol through conference calls and webinars to dis-cuss the Ebola virus, to learn how to prevent it and to prepare for Ebola. Air-ports in the area have been taken into the preparation process. The local health department is part of the preparation discussion as well, Volker said.

In other health issues, Volker said the health department continues its respiratory flu vac-cinations, with another walk-in flu clinic set for Oct. 29 from 3 to 6 p.m., at the health department in Princeton. Local testing and surveillance for the West Nile Virus has con-cluded, and once again, there were no positive test results this year, Volker said.

In another positive note,

Volker announced the local health department was awarded a $94,000 grant through the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture to increase access to healthy foods by promoting direct p r o d u c e r - t o - c o n s u m -er market opportunities, such as farmers markets in both Bureau and Putnam counties.

In other business at Tuesday’s county board meeting, Fees and Sala-ries Committee member Jeff Mangrich presented a request from Gateway Services to increase its tax levy from .033 to .04 for 2014, to be collected in 2015. Most of the increase was due to new services which would be provided, Mangrich said.

Also, Gateway Services expects to broaden the number of people served because of the Affordable Healthcare Act, committee member Steve Sondgeroth said.

The Fees and Salaries Committee had recom-mended granting the .04 tax levy, which was less than originally requested by Gateway Services. The increased tax would mean about another $41 in taxes for the owner of a $100,000 home.

After further discussion, the board agreed to delay action on the Gateway Ser-vices request until more of its questions could be answered.

In her report to the board, Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Kristi Warren said the county is still having some issues with

Women of Distinction

By GolDie [email protected]

OGLESBY — Six women from all areas of the Illinois Valley were honored at the second annual Women of Distinction awards lun-cheon held Thursday afternoon at the Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby.

A packed house— comprised mostly of women and a handful of fellows — spent the afternoon to help honor the six women chosen from various areas around the Illi-nois Valley.

Each Woman of Distinction spoke to the crowd, many sharing stories about volunteerism, chal-lenges and strength.

Following is a little about what

each Women of Distinction had to say:

Michelle Brady of Peru talked about how volunteering is some-thing that just comes natural to her.

“I don’t think twice about the volunteering. I (volunteer) … it’s just how my mother raised me,” she said. “I’ve always said if I can put a smile on one person’s face, it’s made my day.”

Brady, who just returned from a trip to Haiti, where she was instru-mental in working with children and their families, talked about how surprised she was during her trip. What she thought would be a trip to benefit others, she discov-ered it was a trip that helped her.

“It softened my heart and opened my eyes that life is about caring for one another,” she said.

Carol Yandel of Wyanet gave reasons of why volunteerism is so important to her and how people

have to make time to do something positive in their communities.

“When somebody asks me why I do what I do, all I can say is I enjoy being involved in my community,” she said. “Volunteers have an enor-mous impact on the health and well-being of communities, and there are so many ways people can volunteer. “

Yandel said the best thing about volunteering is that a person can pick and choose what interest them and their abilities.

“Every community has a variety of needs when it comes to volun-teers. Some are very busy jobs, and some are not,” she said.

Pam Lange of Princeton talked about her own journey with the Bureau County Historical Society, which started in 1986.

SVE Board studies budget

By Goldie [email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley Elementa-ry School Board got its first look on Wednesday at the district’s budget watch, just three months into Fiscal Year 2015.

Right now, the bud-get is showing the dis-trict has already spent 41 percent of the $9 million projected for expendi-tures this year.

Superintendent Jim Hermes explained the reason why the numbers look high is because of the expected construc-tion bills the district is paying off for the new school addition.

Hermes talked about the district’s current defi-cit budget and explained it is so because of the all costs that go along with the new addition. The district had to pur-chase new tables, chairs and other items for the new addition, and those expenses are what is throwing off this year’s

glance at the budget numbers.

“We aren’t doing any-thing different than we’ve done in years past when we had a consis-tent budget. This build-ing project is the culprit of this deficit budget,” he said.

Hermes mentioned he is also keeping a close look on the district’s bonds and is hoping around 2018 to refinance them, under the condi-tion the market is good. Doing this would help bond rates and potential-ly save taxpayer dollars.

Looking at the revenue side of the FY 2015 bud-get, Hermes said the dis-trict has received a little over $1 million thus far, which is about 32 percent of what is expected for the year.

The district has pro-jected to receive around $8 million total in reve-nue this year.

Right now, Hermes is waiting to receive the last 10 percent of the grant used to pay for the school addition project. The

$1.3 million will be used to pay off the remaining construction bills.

The district has received 95 percent of local tax money, which means they are about $37,000 short of their overall expected amount. Hermes said the district could see more tax mon-ies come in, but it’s rare that schools ever see 100 percent of all tax monies.

Looking at general state aid payments, the district has received 18 percent of what they are expecting for the year.

“We’re only going to see about 89 percent of what we should get,” Hermes said, referring to state aid payments. “We didn’t (budget) for 100 percent, and only pro-jected that 89 percent. That’s about $350,000 of what we are entitled to.”

The board will be hold-ing a hearing on the night of the next regular school board meeting to dis-cuss increases in admin-istrative costs. Hermes explained the costs have gone up due to salary increases, basic year-to-year funds and furniture for office use.

Health department announces walk-in flu clinic on Oct. 29

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Health Department will offer a flu clinic from 3 to 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the health department.

The department will be accepting private insurance for adults and children. Medicare Part B will be accepted as well. Medicaid is only accepted for children 18 and under. Bring the appropriate card (pri-vate insurance, Medi-care Part B or Medicaid card) to the clinic.

Flu shots will be $30 except for children 6 months through 18 years

who qualify for VFC vac-cine but do not have a Medicaid card. The fee for those children (6 months – 18 years) is $12.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol (CDC), everyone age 6 months or older should get a flu shot. Follow-ing the “three C’s” (cover your cough, contain the spread of disease by stay-ing home if you are sick and control the disease by washing your hands) will also help keep your family healthy during flu season.

On average 5 to 20 per-

cent of Americans catch the flu every year, with more than 200,000 being hospitalized (including 20,000 children) and 36,000 dying from flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu shot every year.

For more information and updates on flu shot clinics in Bureau and Putnam counties, go to the health department website at: www.bpchd.org or like them on Face-book at www.facebook.com/bpchd.

have to make time to do something positive in their communities.

“When somebody asks me why I do what I do, all I can say is I enjoy being involved in my communi-ty,” she said. “Volunteers have an enormous impact on the health and well-be-ing of communities, and there are so many ways people can volunteer. “

Yandel said the best thing about volunteering is that a person can pick and choose what interest them and their abilities.

“Every community has a variety of needs when it comes to volunteers. Some are very busy jobs, and some are not,” she said.

Pam Lange of Prince-ton talked about her own journey with the Bureau County Historical Society, which started in 1986.

“What’s been exciting for me over the years is to see the growth and inter-est in local history, both in the historical society and the county itself,” she said.

Lange pointed out how the historical society has expanded from one to three buildings, with their latest acquisition being the 1912 former Matson Public Library building, which they hope to open as a county history center.

‘Throughout Bureau County, it’s been inspiring to see so many museums opening in our communi-ties,” she said. “Back in the day it was just the county museum in Princeton — a little room in the court-house basement in 1937 — and now today, you can see 10 other museums scattered across the coun-ty.”

Eleanor Walker of Princ-eton humored the crowd with stories about darnd-est things her former stu-dents have said through-out the years.

She explained her desire

of wanting to become a teacher came from her love of teaching Sunday school and Bible school.

As a principal’s daugh-ter, she explained the hardship of having to set the bar high — luckily she had an older sister to help her along the way.

In 1958 she graduated from college and started teaching second grade at Lincoln School in Princ-eton. She explained how appreciative she’s been all these years for the men-tors and supportive par-ents she had along the way.

“I always think about schools as there are many children who have many loves, but there are also the children who will take the hand of anybody who is kind enough to give it to them; and I think that’s what education is all about,” she said.

Mary Lanham of Shef-field is blessed to have grown up with two strong role models — her mother and grandmother.

Both were heavily involved in community organizations and watch-ing their involvement is how Lanham became who she is today.

“Being a service to oth-ers has pretty much been a lifelong commitment for us,” she said.

Lanham, along with her husband, Cleo, started the Western Bureau County Food Pantry five years ago.

“We feel very blessed by the giving spirit of the peo-ple in our community and the surrounding areas. We couldn’t do it without this,” she said.

Lanham shared a secret — what a person gives is what comes back to them 100 percent.

“We give these folks food, but what they give back are blessings and acts of kindness that make me feel grateful beyond words,” she said.

Donna Barker of Wyanet talked about how her posi-

tion at the Bureau Coun-ty Republican has given her a lot of opportunities to meet people and learn from them.

“There’s so much you learn from all these people we’ve been able to meet,” she said.

She reflected on her favorite assignments, and also touched on the tough assignments she’s faced along the way.

Barker shared her enjoy-ment in visiting class-rooms around the county and watching the pas-sion and dedication from teachers, while seeing the students work hard to reach further than they did the day before.

“When I leave those classrooms and go back to the office, I know that whatever work has taken place in Bureau County that day, none of it is more important than what took place in those classrooms without a doubt,” she said.

WGN co-host of the Kathy and Judy Show — Kathy O’Malley — was the keynote speaker. She entertained the crowd, as she spoke of the impor-tance of having girlfriends and how they help you make your life complete. She also modeled the “per-fect” dress for the crowd.

Justus Bystry, 12, and Faustina Bystry, 8, of Princeton entertained the crowd with guitar and vio-lin, respectively.

Illinois Valley Living Magazine/Bureau Coun-ty Republican Editor Terri Simon emceed the event.

“It was such a fun day,” Simon said of the event. “I truly believe women should empower each other, and this was a great opportunity for everyone to get together, have fun and enjoy each other’s company. it was also the perfect chance to honor six women who truly have made a difference in the Illinois Valley.”

Joan MercerDIXON — Joan Joyce (nee Hamm) Mercer, 87, of

Dixon, formerly of Paw Paw, passed away Monday, Oct. 13, 2014, at Hillcrest Nurs-ing Center in Round Lake Beach, Ill. Joan was born in Princeton to David and Clara Hamm on April 2, 1927.

Raised during the Great Depression and coming of age near the end of World War II, at age 18 Joan and a girlfriend signed up to work in the U.S. War Department in Washington, D.C., much to her parents dis-may. There she shook President Truman’s hand on VJ Day and met her future husband, Bob Mercer, who was serving a post with the U.S. Navy. Following a desire to become a teacher, Joan attended Carthage College for one year and worked at a bank in San Francisco before she married Bob on Sept. 26, 1948. As did many women of her generation, Joan withdrew from college to help support Bob’s education in pharmacy at the University of Iowa. After working at drug stores in Princeton and Mendota, in 1961, Bob and Joan purchased their own store, Mercer’s Pharmacy, in Paw Paw, which remained open until 1999.

In addition to raising her four children and assisting Bob at the store, Joan returned to education serving as a library assistant at Paw Paw High School. She also served part-time as a library assistant at the Paw Paw Public Library and often dressed in costume as Mother Goose reading nursery rhymes to school and children’s groups. Joan was an active member of First Presbyterian Church, a member of PEO, a long-time league bowler, an earnest golfer and member of Indian Oaks Country Club and, according to all her partners, was an excellent bridge player. After Bob’s sudden passing in 2003, Joan was blessed with six great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

Beloved wife of the late Robert B. Mercer; loving mother of JoEllen (the late William) Schlesinger, Ste-ven (Kim) Mercer, Nancy (Hanna) Wassouf and Philip (Nancy) Mercer; dear grandmother of Brandon (Rachel) Schlesinger, Trent (Amy) Schlesinger, Sara (Matthew) Wiemer, Louis (Sara) Mercer, Suzanne Wassouf and Kara Mercer; great-grandmother of Maddux Schlesing-er, Caleb and Abigail Schlesinger, June and Theodore Wiemer, and Abraham Mercer; dear sister of the late Kenneth (the late Janice) Hamm, the late David (Ernes-tine) Hamm and Barbara (James) Rife; and fond aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Torman Funeral Home, 510 Flagg St. in Paw Paw.

A funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 20, at the First Presbyterian Church, 398 Chicago Road in Paw Paw, with the Rev. Anne Hoflen officiating. Interment will follow in the Wyoming Township Cemetery in Paw Paw.

Meeting Minutes

Illinois Valley Community CollegeOGLESBY — The Illinois Valley Community College

board approved a four-year contract with faculty Oct. 9. It had earlier been accepted by 83 instructors and counselors represented by the American Federation of Teachers Local 1810.

“This agreement provides for real economic salary increases, includes a revised salary schedule and merg-es various letters of agreement and understanding into the contract,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran.

Estimated cost to the district averages 2.5 percent per year over the length of the contract that expires at the end of the summer session in 2018, Corcoran said.

The agreement does not add to the salary base nor does it provide for step movement the first three years; however, the starting salary does increase each year through the elimination of a step. All contracted employ-ees will move to the high-deductible health plan by Jan. 1, 2016, and employees who remain on plans 1 or 2 in 2015 will have an additional premium share.

Following closed session, the board approved a 2.5 percent increase in part-time faculty pay, a 2 per-cent increase for Cheryl Roelfsema, vice president for business services and finance, variable increases for employees not affected by labor agreements, a 1 per-cent increase to the salary schedule for coaches and a $3,000 stipend for men’s and women’s tennis coach Julie Milota.

In other action, the board approved:• The appointment of Scott Curley as director of facil-

ities. Curley had been serving as interim director since March 1 and was supervisor of facilities before that.

• Preparation of the 2014 tax levy by President Corcoran. A tentative levy will be presented in Novem-ber with final approval set for December.

• The purchase of four virtual reality arc welding train-ers for $80,164 from Airgas of Peru.

Fall-ing into memories

My grandfather was a fairly stoic man. Of German descent, his heritage taught him strict work ethics, and he worked tirelessly throughout his entire life. Besides owning and operating a small farm north of Princeton, he also worked as a night watchman at Champion in Princeton. Needless to say — between those two responsibilities — he had little time for fun and games. Every day held chores, jobs, tasks, errands, etc. Never once do I remember Grandpa taking a nap on the couch or just frittering away the hours. There was no time to rest.

I spent a lot of time with Grandpa, and most of that time was spent working. I was the one who tagged along behind him. Even though he was a small man, it took three of my steps to keep up with one of his, but that was OK. I did my best to stick with him from as soon as the sun came up until long after it had set.

Now you might think a little girl would grow tired of “helping” Grandpa with all his work, but nothing could be further from the truth. I idolized that man, and he helped me grow into a responsible, hard-work-ing adult. On the other hand, I just happen to think I brought out the kid in him too.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times my grand-father would hold my 4-year-old hand and skip down Princeton’s Main Street. Of course we had errands to do, banking and insurance and other adult-like stuff, but when I was with him, Grandpa always seemed to shirk that stoic, responsible aura that surrounded him.

On the way home from town, Grandpa would occa-sionally turn the old, green Chevy into City-County Park. I would just squeal. Slowly, he’d make his way to the playground. Turning off the engine, we’d both run toward the swings, where the two of us would swing and swing and swing. Talking, laughing some more — money couldn’t have bought a better time.

On a fall day, Grandpa — who was all business when it came to jobs on the farm — would begin the task of raking leaves from around the house. A host of maple leaves would always find their way under the evergreens and around the foundation of the house. Grandpa would spend a good deal of time raking those leaves into a huge pile in the yard, where he would eventually crumple a page or two of the Bureau Coun-ty Republican, stick that paper deep into the pile and set it all on fire. But before the match was struck ...

“Are you ready?” he’d say to me, as his eyes twinkled like a little boy who was about to get us all in trouble.

Again, I’d just squeal as the two of us would run hand-in-hand toward the pile and jump into the crispy, crunchy maple leaves. We’d laugh and repeat the process over and over again. It was big fun, and to this day — 50-plus years later — I can still hear our laughter. I can still feel his hand in mine. I can still remember how good life felt.

My grandfather has been gone more than 30 years now, and quite frankly, I can barely remember any of the things my grandparents bought me. But I sure hav-en’t forgotten the skips down Main Street, the swings at the park, the jumps into the leaves ... or especially the laughter. Whether he knew it or not (I happen to think he did), Grandpa made time to make memories for me. I cherish them more than you know.

Instead of heading to the store this weekend, why not put your money back into your wallet or your purse and head out into the backyard and rake up a big pile of leaves. Make some memories. I guarantee the laughter — now and later — will be well worth the effort.

The legend of LambeauI have several, I guess what most

people would refer to as “friends,” who (for reasons unbeknownst to me) are fans of the Green Bay Pack-ers. Sometimes life is a mystery.

I, however, am not one of these people. I’m a fan of the Chicago Bears, or what I like to refer to as, a “normal” person. I tend to find that most of my Packer-backing acquaintances to be rather loud and boisterous. They also seem to be a little on the slow or dim-witted side. Their personal hygiene is also usually lacking to the point where they have odor issues. The nice guy that I am, I usually don’t like to point it out unless, of course, I happen to be writing a newspaper column.

The guy that I work with happens to be one of those stinky people. He has all of the Green Bay parapher-nalia — shirts, sweatshirts, hats, coffee mugs, wall banners, etc. .... All of these items have a stench to them that he is apparently immune to.

He has gone to the extreme where he has named his dog Lam-beau. For those of you who are not knowledgeable about horrible places, Lambeau Field is where the dreaded Packers play, and according to Wikipedia, the stadi-um was named after the legendary co-founder of the team, Curly Lam-beau. I personally believe that Curly only got into football after a serious spat with his vaudevillian partners Moe and Larry. I’ve never been there, but from what I understand, it smells bad also.

Lambeau is the dog that resides

out at our workshop. Let me describe him to you. He’s a large-sized Yellow Lab that at one time I would have described as the mean-est canine that has ever walked the face of the earth. In fact, the first time that I met him, he growled and viciously barked at me causing me to experience immediate weight loss, mostly in bodily fluids.

He would do this every time that I saw him. I used to think that he treated me this way because he could sense that I was a Bears fan. I figured that his smelly, dim-wit-ted owner had trained him to act this way toward me. Part of me still thinks that.

It didn’t take long to realize that if I was going to be at the shop on a daily basis, I was going to have to figure out how to co-exist with this hellhound. For the first week, it was the same thing every morning. He’d bark at me and then pace around and growl. I would stupidly say “Who’s a good boy?” while trying not experience anymore immediate weight loss. Some days, I was suc-cessful.

As time went by, the barking and growling became less intense and he even started to let me pet him a little. He let me fill up his food bowl and let me take him outside to go pee and all the other stuff dogs do

when they go outside.I have come to the realization

that Lambeau isn’t necessarily a mean dog. He’s just a little grumpy. And I figured out why. It’s because of his name. That’s gotta be the rea-son. I’d be upset too.

Don’t tell my business partner this, but I call him by a different name when he’s not around. It’s a name that has literally soothed the savage beast. Ever since I started doing that, the dog has mellowed out quite a bit. He seems much more at ease with the world as he lays around the shop licking himself. I think that I might have missed my calling as an animal psy-chologist.

This once frightening beast now allows me to roughhouse with him, scratch behind his big yellow ears and he eats whatever I don’t want from my lunch. He still won’t give me his red rubber chew toy without a battle to the death, but I am confi-dent that day will eventually come.

While I’m sitting here at the workshop writing this, my new four-legged buddy is standing beside me, panting with his slob-bery tongue hanging out, looking at me with those big bloodshot, brown eyes. He’s just a big old lug of a mutt, and I’m sure that I’ll have all sorts of stories about him as time goes on.

But for now, you’ll have to excuse me. Soldier Field has to go outside and tinkle.

BCGS will meet Thursday in PrincetonPRINCETON — The

Bureau County Genea-logical Society will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Society library, 629 S. Main St. in Princeton. The meeting will feature Ron Weitzel from the Peoria area.

Weitzel is a retired high school German teach-er and has been deeply involved with German/American cultural proj-ects. In addition, he was coordinator of a Ger-man/American student exchange program for 20 years.

His program for the evening will be a slide pre-sentation that will take the audience back in time as far as 1861. He will make the area around where the counties of Bureau, Lee and LaSalle meet come alive through recently

discovered documents from the early days. These documents, consisting of school board minutes, financial records, atten-dance records and grade books, were discovered in the Weitzel farmhouse near the site of the for-mer Hinkel School on the Old Chicago Road, slight-ly northwest of Mendo-ta. This area was settled by many German immi-grants. Through studying these records, Weitzel has learned a lot about those early settlers which he will share.

The public is invited to this free program. Those needing further infor-mation may contact the library at 815-879-3133 or visit during the regular hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thurs-day and Friday.

The Honey Dewdrops will perform at coffeehousePRINCETON — The

musical duo known as The Honey Dewdrops will perform at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Princeton Coffeehouse. The cof-feehouse is located at the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors will open at 7 p.m.

The Honey Dew-drops — husband and wife Kagey Parrish and Laura Wortman — have released three albums. Their most recent is Silver Lining, which, according to Folk Alley Blog, “per-fectly captures the spirit of the Blue Ridge foothills, feeling like a collection of tunes delivered late at night on someone’s front porch. Through just two voices, a guitar, and a banjo, Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish let go some beautiful and heart-sick harmonies.”

The experience of lis-tening to The Honey Dew-drops has been described as being “pulled out of daily orbits, and brought back down to the endur-ing truths that reside in kindred people and plac-es” (James Potter). They have toured steadily the past four years, perform-ing and promoting their three albums.

“Not only are they bril-liant musicians, Laura and Kagey are wonder-ful people whose music is as genuine as their personalities,”comment-ed Bradley Kolodner of WICB (Ithaca, N.Y.). “They have the chops to make it big but more importantly, their sincer-ity and kindness will vault them to a whole new level in the coming years.”

The appearance of The Honey Dewdrops at the Princeton Coffeehouse

is sponsored by Dr. Jon McCutchan and Bureau Valley Vision Care.

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 UCC is completely accessible and there is ample free parking nearby. For more informa-tion, visit www.theprinc-etoncoffeehouse.com or call 815-872-6501.

Still a lot to do ...It’s my favorite time of year — the

days starting to become shorter, tem-peratures falling, and Mother Nature is giving us one last celebration of color before winter.

Fall is not my favorite season because of the weather changing, but it is my favorite because it is harvest time once again in the countryside. It is a time to head back to the fields and reap the crops that we have cared for, worried over and thought about all year long.

That is the perspective that I have for our own family farming opera-tion. Harvest is also the time where I receive my “report card” as a seed dealer. Farmers, along with our own operation, are evaluating the success of particular hybrids and placing their orders for the 2015 growing season.

Harvest results are just starting to come in, and overall, the results, in most places, seem to be better than expected. We experienced a great growing season, weather wise, and the crop took advantage of it. Yes, there was no doubt some setbacks this sea-son. For example, the wind event we had the end of June/first part of July. We will know more later as the season continues and more yield results come in, but the farming community should be seeing yield results comparable to years past.

Harvest season is also the time of year where there is an increase of traffic in fields and on the roadways. There is a lot more vehicle to be in charge of while in the tractor cab than compared to a standard vehicle that is

driven on the road daily. The farmer has to think about how much space the tractor and the equipment being pulled by the tractor is taking up of the road. Unfortunately, there are times where the tractor takes up all of the space on the road, and there is no room to move over to allow vehicles to pass. It seems like the farmer is constantly walking a tight rope of the steep ditch to the right side of the road and not taking up the entire roadway.

I would like to emphasize caution and patience to both farmers and non-farmers. Farmers are busy taking the crops out of the fields and trans-porting them to a grain storage facility. From the storage facility, the corn and soybeans can be used to feed and fuel (ethanol) not only the United States, but also the world. Farmers are also transporting their harvest equipment via the roadways to continue harvest-ing before snowfall.

Please slow down when coming up on slower moving equipment and please pass when it is safe to do so. Even if you have to slow down to 20 mph and follow a tractor for two miles, it takes only six minutes of your time. This is approximately equivalent to waiting for two stoplights.

I know that some farmers, when

the opportunity allows, move over or even stop to allow motorists to pass at a safe time. A few farmers even assist when the time is safe to pass by waving you around when it is safe and clear to do so. I cannot express this point enough, by taking a few extra moments we can get both the motor-ist and farmer home safely to their families.

Farmers, I know this is a very busy time for everyone. When Mother Nature finally allows us to be back in the fields, we have the tendency to just want to push and get as much done as we possibly can. This is especially true since we have spent this past week of looking at our crops because of the rain instead of harvesting them.

After the delay, I would strongly urge a sense of caution. Please take the time to check over all farm and safety equipment to make sure they are in good working order. Also, it might be a good idea to have phone numbers of our co-workers and emergency services saved in our phones. In an emergency situation, it becomes more difficult to remember a phone num-ber, and every second counts.

Please remain vigilant, like always, this harvest season. We are currently trying to get the most we can accom-plished. We will be moving even faster after the rain clears this weekend. Therefore, by working carefully, we can have a prosperous 2014 harvest because of the yields as well as being home safe with our families.

KEWANEE — Going into Fri-day night’s Three Rivers Confer-ence matchup against a strug-gling Kewanee Boilermaker squad (0-7), the Hall Red Devils (5-2) were con-fident that they would pull out a win to clinch their second playoff berth in as many years.

Hall would have to wait for the final buzzer as the Boi lermakers gave everything they had before the Red Devils outlasted their opponent 14-13 in Kewanee.

“We talked to the kids all week about this being a trap week. Coming off a big win against St. Bede they thought were going to come over here and just have an easy time and you can’t do that in this conference,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “You have to come ready to play every

Storm comes back ‘super’ against PHSBy Dan [email protected]

PRINCETON — An electric crowd was on hand for a three-game thrill-er between the Bureau Valley Storm and Princeton Tigresses during Three Rivers East play Thursday night in Prouty Gymnasium.

The Storm, who are 11-0 now in the conference and were crowned conference champions after their victory over the St. Bede Academy Bruins Tuesday, had to overcome a Princeton team that came out swinging en route to a 19-25, 25-20, 25-15 victory.

“That’s a super-sectional team over there. I’m not kidding,” PHS coach Andy Puck said. “If they get the right draw and play well through the postseason, that’s a super-sec-tional team.”

BV struggled early, as a 1-1 tie was as close as they could come to con-taining the Tigresses in first game

Princeton started with a 5-1 lead in the first set, including aces from senior defensive specialist Sierra Storm and senior outside hitter Tay-lor Clark.

The Tigresses seized this early momentum and never trailed for the remainder of the set.

“After the first game we just talk-ed about where we want to be and what our goals are. We’re confer-ence champions, but we’re not done there and we really talked about that. It just lit a fire under the girls,” BV coach Abbi Bosnich said.

BV would start the second set with their own 5-1 run and would never trail the entire second game and would lead by as many as nine off of a hot shot by senior outside hitter Val Reuter that hit off of a Princeton defender to put BV up 19-10.

The third set had a whole different

Storm, Bruinsstaying alive

By BCr SportS [email protected]

The St. Bede Bruins became playoff eligible with their fifth win of the year Friday at Orion. The Bureau Valley Storm took a big step to get there.

Bureau Valley 48, Riv-erdale 16: Freshman quarterback Drake Davis threw for 336 yards and seven touchdowns as the Storm rolled to their third straight win and fourth overall. They will need to win at Fulton next week to become playoff eligible.

“Just looking forward to another week. Excited for the kids,” BV coach Spen-cer Davis said.

Davis hooked up with seven different receivers. On top of the list was for-mer quarterback Parker Neuhalfen, who grabbed seven balls for 123 yards and three scores. Will Kon-neck had three catches for 50 yards and 2 TDs and Tommy Johnston (3-64) and Blake Balensiefen

(1-46) each caught TD passes.

PRINCETON — It was just another night in the office for Dalton Woeber and the Rockridge Rockets.

Woeber scored five touchdowns and rushed for 295 yards to lead the third-ranked Rockets to a 48-6 win over Princeton on Breast Can-cer Awareness Night at Bryant Field. The Rockets have not lost a game since falling to defending 2A champ Newman in the season opener.

“That started a fire under us. We wanted to come out like Newman did last year and won 13 straight (to win state),” Woeber said of their opening-night defeat.

Princeton’s Levin Bates does his best to pull down Rockridge’s Dalton Woeber at Bryant Field Friday. Woe-ber scored five touchdowns in the Rockets’ 48-6 win.

feel as each team went tit-for-tat scoring nine ties including the final tie at 10-10, a hard kill from senior middle hitter Lindsey Hoffert.

“I continuously say our setter does a great job. She (senior Syd-ney Lebahn) just puts the ball where it needs to be,” Bosnich said. “Lindsey Hoffert got hot at the end of the second game and she (Lebahn) knew that and con-tinued to put the ball to Lindsey and Lindsey just took advantage of it and was strong at the net.”

Princeton seemed to be rattled after the kill as it started a 9-3 run that included multiple miscues from the Tigresses.

Reuter was instrumental in the run scoring two kills in the stretch.

The Storm maintained their lead for the remainder of the set to remain undefeated in the con-ference season.

“I wanted to see some of my younger kids in that second set compete and see how they would do with the post season environ-ment, “ Puck said. “I’m extremely proud of my kids we battled in the first set, second set and the third set we just ran out of a gas. Give that credit to BV, they just kept coming at us but I’m proud of my kids, they played hard, and we should do some damage.”

Clark led the Tigresses offen-sively with 29 assists while junior outside hitter Hailey Schultz had 12 kills and senior middle hitter Abby Jacques added 10 kills.

Lebahn had 27 assists on the night for the Storm while senior outside hitter Heaven Bennett

had 10 kills, followed by Hoffert (8) and Reuter (6).

Bosnich credited her team with maintaining their compo-sure after senior right side hitter Ali Stiltman went down midway through the third set with an ankle injury.

“They corrected me in the lock-er room, that they are not a team, they’re a family so I have to make sure I use the right word. They’re family and they pick each other up. It’s good to see,” Bosnich said.

MENDOTA — Tanner Kuhne was the right man at the right time for the Prince-ton Tigers Wednesday night.

The Tigers had one goal called back due to offsides in the first half, and another shot hit the crossbar in the second half.

Kuhne made sure his shot counted, kicking in the game-winning goal in the 74th minute to send the Tigers into the regional championship with a 1-0 win over DePue in the regional semifinals at Mendota High School.

“That shot was a hard shot. I had to get past people since they had so many defenders

back. Think I got past three to four and decided to pull the trigger,” Kuhne said. “It is a great feeling to score a game winner in such a big game.

The five touchdowns is a personal high for Woe-ber who had scores of 27, 23, 70, 25 and 37 yards.

“That felt good. I don’t know how many yards I had, but it seemed like a lot. It felt good,” he said.

Kai Tomaszewski added another kickoff return to his highlight reel, going 90 yards with 7:35 mark in the second quarter. The PAT missed and the Tigers closed within 20-6.

PHS came up short twice on the goal line as time ran out in the first half with no timeouts remaining. QB Jacob Reinhardt and Jacob Smith were both stopped inches from the goal line. PHS coach Jesse Snyder questioned the officials if they had crossed the line to no avail.

Snyder said the Rockets are as good as advertised.

“Rockridge is very good. Coach Graves and his staff have done a phe-

nomenal job preparing those kids and getting them ready to go,” Snyder said. “They’re very talent-ed up front and so are their skilled players.”

Woeber believes the Rockets can go aways in the playoffs. Snyder doesn’t discount it.

“We’ll see any given Saturday, any given Fri-day night,” he said.

• Tiger tales: PHS junior Levi Bates had an interception and a fum-ble recovery before leav-ing the game with an ankle sprain. He spent the second half with an ice bag on his foot on the bench.

It was a day of close calls for Joe Dudek.

The St. Bede senior fin-ished with an 11-over 83 in the first day of the IHSA 1A Boys State Golf compe-tition at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington. It could have been a lit-tle better with some luck, St. Bede coach Rich Cum-mings said.

“He was an inch away so many times, he just needed one more roll on his puts,” Cummings said. “He was grinding it out today, just couldn’t get a putt to fall today, They were right on the edge.”

Dudek stands in a six-way tie for sixth place heading into Saturday’s final 18 holes. They are 13 strokes back of lead-er Hunter York, a senior from Decatur Lutheran.

After a consistent round on his first nine holes (back 9), of seven straight

bogeys, Dudek finished strong with four straight pars to end his day. He also opened the front 9 with two pars

“He had a much stron-ger back nine (the front) starting hitting greens to give himself a chance. He didn’t make any mistakes; no poor decisions.”

At Decatur: Princeton junior Arraia Hicks has a 21-over 93, good for 59th place in the Class 1A Girls State Finals at Red Tail Run Golf Club in Decatur.

Hicks started out with a 44 on the back 9, rack-ing up three pars and four bogeys. She carded a 49 on the front 9, including two pars and three bogeys.

Lauren Chapel, a soph-omore from Charleston, is the Day 1 leader at 75.

Hicks will tee off Satur-day at 9:51 am.

She is the fourth girl in school history to qualify for state.

Volleyball roundupGood night for

Lady Bruins


It was a good night to be a Lady Bruin.

St. Bede swept Amboy at all three levels in Thursday’s Three Rivers East volleyball play at the Academy.

The varsity was a 25-21, 25-12 winner, led by Alexa Damerell (13 points, 3 aces), Sam Whalen (7 kills, 11 digs), Claire Dudek (5 kills, 4 blocks) and Emma Perona (8 points, 3 aces, 10 assists).

Coach Dawn Williams said the Lady Bruins played with consistency.

The SBA sophomores remained undefeated in league play, 17-7 overall, with a 21-25, 25-20, 15-5 win.

The freshman match also went to St. Bede by an 18-25, 28-26, 15-7 final.

Hall 2, Kewanee 0: The Lady Devils outlasted the host Boiler Girls in a mar-athon first set to post a 32-30, 25-19 win on the road Thursday in Three Rivers East play. For Hall (5-14), Emily Hoscheid had 11 kills and Brooke Keegan had 32 assists, three aces and two kills),

LaMoille/Ohio 2, Serena 0: The Lady Lions revenged a Little Ten tournament loss with a 25-27, 25-22, 25-17 win over the Bobcats Thurs-day. Erika Zimmerlein had nine kills, Alyssa Martin had nine points, Ragen Forbes had 16 digs, Rae Schultz had 14 assists and eight points, Elizabeth Geuther had six points, three kills and two blocks, and Toni Lawrence had five kills.

L/O also rallied for a 14-25, 25-15, 25-11 win in the F/S match. Paige Con-ner had 13 points, six kills and 19 assists, Kala Ward had 10 points, Lexi Loftus had 12 kills, Maddi Deery had seven kills, and Riley Johnson had 15 digs.

L/O made it a clean sweep with a 25-14, 25-16 win at the freshmen level.

Amboy 2, LaMoille/Ohio 0: The Lady Clippers topped the Lady Lions 25-16, 25-20 Wednesday in a friendly non-conference matchup of neighbors. Forbes had 10 digs, and Loftus had four kills for L/O.


week. I don’t care if a team is 0-8 or 8-0 you’ve got to come ready to play,”

The pivotal juncture in the game came late in the second quarter after Kewanee senior running back Austin VerVynk got outside of the Red Devils defense for a four-yard touchdown run to cut Hall’s lead to 14-13.

With a chance to tie Kewanee’s Travis Claeys failed to convert the point after attempt preserving the Red Devils’ slim mar-gin of victory.

Kewanee made a state-ment early showing that they came to play as sophomore signal caller Nick Sheets found senior wideout Cody Goforth down the sideline for 41 yards to put the Boilers

up 7-0 with 9:37 to play in the first quarter.

Junior quarterback Drew Pullam wouldn’t be outdone as he found senior wideout Jake Merkle 28 yards and a tie ball game with 2:15 to go in the first.

Pullam and Merkel connected again four short minutes later for the game winner on a 22-yard crossing route to put the Red Devils up 14-7.

“Drew got it going offensively again, our linemen held up early and we were able to exe-cute in our pass game,” Merkel said.

VerVynk’s run that gave Boilermakers a chance to tie came with 4:02 to play in the first half and would prove to be the final score.

Neither team could gain momentum offen-

sively in the second half as each team’s defense put their opponents attack on lockdown.

“Coach (Adam) Meyer and (Ryan) Ferrari did an amazing job getting the defense ready and the defense shut it down,” Tieman said.

Hall looks to finish the regular season on a 4-0 winning streak as they take on the Princeton Tigers next week in Princ-eton.

“We have to get our line consistent and start blocking better than we have been so we can run the ball. We’re down a couple of linemen that have injuries right now that we have to get back and hopefully we’ll have them back next week but we have to get more con-sistent running the ball.”

Quarterback Jack Brady got the Bru-ins on the board first with a 10-yard

pass to Bailee Hopps. Shaw’s kick made it 7-0.

Andre Hurr scored on a nine-yard run on the Bruins’ second possession of the third quarter.

host Trojans at 6 p.m. Saturday. Mendota was a 4-1 winner over Earlville/Leland in double overtime.

“It means a ton to us. To beat DePue was awesome. They were a good team, and it feels nice to move on,” Kuhn said. “Mendota is going to be a hard team to beat, but if we come out strong, we can win.”

PHS coach David Gray, who previously coached at DePue, knew the Tigers would be in for a battle against the Little Giants.

“It was a nice win, we knew it would be tough,” he said. “I thought that the seeding could have gone either way, and the way the match played out seemed to prove that. It seemed like there were stretches of the match where we controlled play and put a lot of pressure on them, but could not get the break through.

“We finally got the goal with about six minutes to go. It was a great match to be a part of, both teams worked very hard and were credits to their schools.”

DePue coach Tim Ste-vens said the Little Giants just couldn’t play until the end.

“We felt like we did give ourselves a chance to win, however in the end our conditioning and momen-tum fell short,” he said. “Going into the game we

felt like the progress we made as a team would carry over to a positive result. The loss was dis-appointing, but all it does is prove the need to be committed to our craft. Ultimately, we came up six minutes short. We just need to be ready to play through that time next year.”

Princeton out shot DePue 13-7, with Isaac Salazar making six saves on goal for the Tigers.

DePue bows out at 9-6-2.• Tiger tales: Saturday’s

winner will advance to the Peoria Christian Section-al to face the Rock Island Alleman winner at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Macomb and Monmouth-Roseville are meeting there. ... PHS beat Mendota 2-0 on the Tro-jans home turf in last year’s sectional semifinals before falling to Somonauk 2-0 in the finals.
