Case sent to Attorney General Criminal prosecution for Princeton postal carrier?

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The completed report of the investigation into a former Princeton postal carrier has been turned over to the U.S. Attorney General’s office.

On Monday, Assistant Special Agent Bob Rukes with the U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG), said the OIG’s investigation into the former Princeton carrier has been forwarded to the U.S. Attorney General’s office for criminal prosecution consideration. No time frame was given as to when that consideration could be completed.

The former Princeton mail carrier resigned from his job in January, apparently as a result of the OIG investigation into the carrier.

On Jan. 10, Princeton Post Office customers along the carrier’s route received a oneparagraph letter from the OIG informing them of the investigation and returning to the customers pieces of mail which had been apparently part of the investigation.

The letter stated, in part, that the individual responsible for the possible delay in delivery of the mail may be subject to administrative action as well as possible criminal prosecution.

Beverly Howard, customer relations coordinator for the Central Illinois District of the U.S. Postal Service, said the final OIG report is sent to the Central Illinois District, but since the Princeton carrier voluntarily resigned, there was no administrative action for the district to take. The OIG also sends a report to the Office of Attorney General for review. If there are going to be any criminal charges brought against the former Princeton carrier, those charges would be brought by the Attorney General’s office, Howard said.

State $$$ headed to Tiskilwa Library gets grant for new addition

By Lyle Ganther lganther@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA – A state grant will allow the Tiskilwa Public Library to build an addition to the building.

Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White recently informed Tiskilwa Public Library officials that the library is entitled to receive a Fiscal Year 2013 Illinois Public Construction Grant. White said the grant’s maximum award is $504,241.40.

“We’re excited because the grant will make it possible for us to build an addition to the library and make it accessible for the whole community,” said Nancy Johnston, secretary of the library board.

“The plan also includes preserving and renovating the current building as a community center.”

The grant requires the library to match the grant with an additional $465,453.60.

The library will meet the grant from combination of savings, donations and a loan from a local bank.

Tiskilwa area residents are invited to review the building plans and hear about the project at an open house to be held at the library at 6:30 p.m. May 21.

“Donations from Friends of the Library to the building fund total $34,500 to date, an important part of making this project possible,” said Rich Foss, board president.

“We are also looking for additional donations.

“In 1908, Tiskilwa and its leaders had the foresight to build the current library,” Foss added. The library is working with

Health department gets grant for WNV surveillance

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com.

Planting time is here (finally) These Bureau County farmers took advantage of last week’s warmer weather to finally get into their fields. An especially rainy April and colder than normal temperatures have kept tractors under wraps, with only 1 percent of the state’s corn supply planted by April 28, far below the five year average of 36 percent, and even farther below last year, when 76 percent of Illinois corn was planted before the end of April.

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department has received a state grant to help with surveillance work for the coming West Nile Virus (WNV) season.

The local health department will receive $14,236 for Bureau County and $11,362 for Putnam County. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded the WNV grants totaling $3.4 million to 90 certified local health departments throughout the state. The grants are based on WNV activity surveillance from the previous three years, along with county population.

In announcing the grant, Illinois Department of Public Health Director LaMar Hasbrouck said Illinois experienced its second highest number of human West Nile Virus cases last year, second only to the 2002 outbreak.

“Our local health departments around the state are on the front lines in the fight against West Nile Virus, and it is important they have the resources necessary to monitor mosquito activity, take steps to reduce the mosquito population and investigate human infections,” Hasbrouck said.

For the 2012 season, Illinois reported 290 human cases of West Nile disease and 12 deaths. The state followed a nationwide trend and ranked fourth in the country for the total number of human cases, Hasbrouck said.

Concerning local surveillance plans, Kurt Kuchle, director of health protection for the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, said Bureau and Putnam counties are each asked to submit five birds per season for testing, with the bird testing running May through October.

Cora’s Crew plans benefit for classmate

Proceeds to help Cora Peters and her battle with cancer

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Friends stick together, and a group of Bureau Valley High School teens are doing just that to help a classmate battling cancer.

The students call themselves Cora’s Crew, and they are honoring classmate Cora Peters this week with special activities each day at the school, culminating with a benefit fundraiser on Saturday.

Cora, a BVHS junior, was diagnosed with cancer in November 2009 when she was 14 years old. She is the daughter of Dave and Karen Peters of Walnut.

On Monday, the BVHS

!

students wore their class colors to school. Today, Tuesday, the students could pay $1 to wear a hat. Wednesday is Mismatch Day. On Thursday, students can pay $1 and wear their pajamas to school. Friday is Purple Day, a favorite color of Cora’s. Friday will also include a volleyball game between the boys and girls, as well as a basketball shoot-out.

But the big fundraiser comes on Saturday, from 3 to 10 p.m., at the school. From 3 to 5 p.m., the students will host a fun fair for all ages, including games and cotton candy. From 5 to 7 p.m., the students will offer a pulled pork dinner, silent auction and fashion show bidding. From 7 to 7:30 p.m. will be a live auction, followed by the fashion show.

The top bidders (female students) for the fashion show will get to

have their “models’” (a group of about 20 male students) dressed in outfits of the winners’ choosing for the fashion show.

Silent auction items include, in part, a Ducks Unlimited print, a Coach purse, American Girl doll, a bicycle, pies and lots of gift baskets. As a special feature for the auction, BVHS Principal Eric Lawson is also donating an item but is keeping that item a secret until the day.

Organizers for this week’s activities include juniors Shannon Reuter, Kalie Rumbold, Janelle Norden and senior Jordan Monier. Working with the students is school counselor Vicki Bailey.

In talking about their friendship with Cora, Shannon said the group decided to have this special week and benefit because they are great friends with Cora, and

she hasn’t had a benefit for quite a while to help with expenses.

The group wanted to let Cora know the school and students support her and are behind her, Janelle said. That’s the main goal, she added.

Jordan said he brings that male input into planning the benefit. Cora has been an inspiration to everyone on a dayto-day basis and shows incredible strength, he said.

Kalie agreed, saying Cora has been an inspiration because she has kept so positive throughout everything and never seems to get down or discouraged.

Lawson also commented on the importance of friendship and the upcoming benefit for Cora.

“It’s exciting to see our students step up and want to be leaders and to help others,” Lawson said. “Obviously a lot of the things we try to instill in our kids in the high school deal with academics, but we also want them to be great citizens, to be great friends and to help others. We see these great qualities in the kids here in this building and in the kids in this room (benefit organizers).”

The public is invited to attend Saturday’s benefit with all proceeds going to Cora and her family.

Additional items and donations are still being accepted for the benefit. More information is available by calling the high school at 815-4454004.

Letter carriers want your help to Stamp Out Hunger Leave non-perishable donations in mailbox this Saturday

Hall Township Food Pantry needs help to stock shelves

By Barb Kromphardt

By Goldie Currie

bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

gcurrie@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY – Jan Martin is looking for a few helpers to assist in stocking the shelves of the Hall Township Food Pantry.

Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America deliver much more than mail when they walk and drive along their postal routes. They also collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers who participate in the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive – the largest one-day food drive in the nation.

Martin, director of Project Success, which

You might be used to your area mailman delivering your letters and packages, but this Saturday will be a great time for you to deliver something to your mailman.

The 21st annual National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive takes place on Saturday.

The effort is a nationwide project and is aimed at collecting non-perishable food donations to help stock-up the local food pantries after the harsh winter months. The project is ongoing throughout Bureau County.

Princeton food drive coordinator Scott Maschek said it’s important to take part because so many are in need, and all donations benefit the local food pantry.

“It means we’ll be helping our friends and neighbors in need,” he said.

Maschek said the food drive helps the local pantry provide during the summer months and helps feed children in need who would normally be at school receiving a nutritious snack or lunch.

Taking part in the food drive throughout the county is simple.

The letter carriers pick-

up donations when they deliver your mail. Those wishing to make a donation are asked to leave the non-perishable products in the mailbox and then let the carriers do the rest.

“With the large amount of needy, we need to collect everything we can,” Maschek said.

Maschek, who has been food drive coordinator in Princeton since 1999, said one of his best collection years

operates the food pantry, said each letter carrier needs a driver and small group to help them after they bring the donated food items back to the street.

“We will have trucks and vans following them with volunteers to jump out and collect the bags,” Martin said.

“All bags will then be brought to the food pantry where volunteers will separate and organize the donations.”

Martin said volunteers should meet at the post office at 8:15 a.m. and be willing to work until about 2:30 p.m.

Other volunteers will be needed to sort the donations at the food pantry, which is located at 500 N. Terry St. in Spring Valley.

Martin said the Stamp Out Hunger food drive was when the Princeton Postal Service collected 7,700 pounds.

This year, Maschek is challenging every resident to donate two cans to beat that record.

Other event organizers around the county are also encouraging residents to do give as much as they can. All items should be non-perishable and cannot have an expired date.

“If every delivery point in Princeton and in the

is important for local communities because it helps stock food pantries for summer, a time when there’s an increased need for food assistance, especially for children who are out of school.

“You know how many people we feed in a normal month - nearly 900 in April,” she said.

“The number increases dramatically in summer as parents must also provide breakfast and lunch - the meals students typically eat at school. Sadly, donations to pantries decrease when there isn’t a national holiday for food collection.”

Volunteers can call Martin at 815-663-2085 for more information.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews. com. rural routes donated two cans, we would make 10,000 pounds for the food pantry,” he said.

To provide another simple option for residents in Princeton, the postal service will also be setting up a dropoff location in the post office parking lot. Donors can drive-by and hand off their non-perishable items to volunteers at the scene.

Also, the health department sets two traps per county, generally near recreation areas where human exposure is most likely, Kuchle said. The mosquito traps are put out when nighttime temperatures remain at or above 55 degrees.

When temperatures are 55 degrees are lower, mosquitoes are not very active. The health department usually sets outs its mosquito traps sometime in June depending on the temperatures.

The testing/surveillance is needed to detect when activity or amplification of the virus is beginning, so public service announcements can get the word out, Kuchle said.

However, not all mosquitoes are carriers of the virus. The wet April weather tends to favor the “inland floodwater mosquito,” which are active biters but not

thought to be diseasecarriers. As a rule, hot dry conditions favor a higher percentage of “house mosquitoes” which are the carriers of WNV. “It is difficult to predict if we will have a heavy season for mosquitoes, which can be different than a heavy season for the virus,” Kuchle said. “You can have lots of mosquitoes with low virus activity or few mosquitoes and lots of virus activity.”

Whether or not it’s a mild season for WNV, history has shown that mid-to-late July is when detection of the virus peaks, and mid-to-late August is when illness among humans peaks, Kuchle said.

“Last year was hot and dry with a corresponding higher number of West Nile cases,” Kuchle said.

“Most experts believe such weather conditions to be the determining factor for West Nile virus activity/amplification.”

Buck Sutliff of Princeton takes a break in his schedule as a Gold Coat volunteer at Perry Memorial Hospital to talk about his ongoing health challenges which he believes can be traced back to having diabetes. His recommendation to others is for people to take care of themselves and follow doctors’ orders.

Check it out and follow doctor’s orders Sutliff: Living with diabetes

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Living with diabetes is not an easy thing to do, according to Buck Sutliff of Princeton.

His quality of life has changed a lot since getting the disease, and it’s difficult to stay positive, the Princeton man said, adding his advise to others is to take the disease seriously and to follow the doctor’s orders.

Sutliff was first diagnosed as a borderline diabetic more than 30 years ago. But in his mind, getting a borderline diabetic diagnosis is misleading, he said.

“Being told you are borderline diabetic is like being told you are a little bit pregnant ... You either are, or you aren’t,” Sutliff said.

Maybe because he was a younger man at the time of his diagnosis, he didn’t take it as seriously as he should have, Sutliff said. He knew he was at risk of becoming diabetic because diabetes runs in his family. His maternal granddad died from

“Countless children and adults have walked through those doors over the last 105 years and into the wonderful world of books, DVDs, audio books, computers and

diabetes, and all of his granddad’s siblings were diabetic, including Sutliff’s mother.

“I was forewarned, and I should have been more careful, but I was young and thought I was invincible,” Sutliff said. “I was also a smoker, and smoking and diabetes don’t match.”

Sutliff believes his diabetes has contributed to his other health problems, including having two strokes.

Sutliff had his first stroke on Feb. 14, 2002.

Diabetes clogs the arteries, which can lead to a stroke, he said.

He had his second stroke on Aug. 14, 2012, shortly after arriving to work at the Princeton Walmart where he was a

greeter. He began slurring his words and became confused. His wife, Betty, was called, but Sutliff didn’t go to the emergency room until the next day. He was then taken by ambulance to a Peoria hospital, where it was determined he had suffered a cluster of small strokes.

Sutliff said he was able to resume work about eight weeks after his stroke, but on a reduced schedule. Initially he worked 36 hours a week as a greeter, but the doctors cut that back to 12 hours a week. Since then, doctors have increased his allowed work schedule to 16 hours a week.

Sutliff also continues to volunteer one day a week, several hours a day, as a

In developing the plans, the library board worked with a building committee of Tiskilwa contractors and with

architect Wayne Nolan of ATSE Consultants LLC, Peoria, and Fred Schlipf, library consultant. The project is currently being put out for bid.

Gold Coat volunteer at Perry Memorial Hospital.

Though he knows the best thing he can do for his diabetes is to get more exercise, he acknowledged that’s not an easy thing to do. He uses a walker at home, but uses a wheelchair when he goes outside the home.

Most days, he feels OK, he just wears out so easily, he said.

His life has changed a lot since his early days as an air control traffic operator and then working in the family’s furniture store in Princeton.

He wants to tell his story about having diabetes to encourage others to take care of themselves and to get medical help if they aren’t feeling well, he said.

“Get to the doctor, and go by the doctor’s orders,” Sutliff said.

Also, everyone with diabetes in their family history should pay especially close attention to that possibility for themselves, Sutliff said.

“A family history of diabetes should throw up the red warning flag,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to put anyone through what I’ve been through.”

In November 2010, Tiskilwa voters voted 393 to 216 against a $1.81 million referendum which would have allowed the library board to either renovate the current Tiskilwa Public Library or to erect a new building on an adjacent vacant lot where two buildings were demolished.

However, when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance, or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken.

The following citations were issued during the patrols: • Registration offenses - one warning.

• Driver’s license offenses - two warnings.

• Occupant restraint offenses - three citations.

• Total citations/arrests - 13 citations.

• Total written warnings - 36 warnings.

From the editor’s desk It’s so pretty out right now! Daffodils, tulips, leaves popping, grass growing ... you have to love spring in the Midwest. Makes you want to count your blessings every time you can wake up and literally smell the flowers.

••• Our hearts at the Bureau County Republican, Putnam County Record, Tonica News and Shaw Media were broken last week, as we lost one of our dear friends, Cliff Arnold of Tonica.

Cliff and his wife, Elin, were the previous owners of the Putnam County Record and Tonica News, which Shaw Media acquired in December 2012. Cliff and Elin have been long-time friends and customers of the BCR; Terri we’ve known them for years. Needless to Simon say, we will miss Cliff dearly — his stories, his laughter, his jokes. A great man ... and a great loss. Our sympathy is with Elin and their family.

••• What’s the BigDeal? Every week, the BCR offers you the opportunity to save some money at area businesses. You can find our BigDeals! on our website at www. bcrnews.com. Following are this week’s BigDeals: • Just in time for Mother’s Day. Get a one-hour, full body massage for only $22.50 at Kathy’s Country Massage in Malden. This is really a great deal, since it’s regularly priced at $45.

• Pamper Mom, Grandma or yourself at Ooh La La Salon & Spa in Princeton, where you can get a $20 gift card for only $10. Wow! What a deal!

• Help Mom stay fit by getting a 20 punch fitness card at the Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton.

This card — good for land, water or spin classes only — costs only $50, regularly priced at $100.

••• I had a blast the other night at Festival 56’s “Heartache Tonight: A Tribute to the Eagles,” held at the Grace Performing Arts Center in Princeton. The band played only Eagles’ classic rock music, and I don’t mind telling you it really took me back a few years. Wow! What a show!

Here’s the interesting part, though. As I looked around the crowd, I saw a lot of grey hair and bald heads ... and then I realized I was no longer that kid from the ‘70s who grew up on the Eagles. Instead I was one of those older generation folks who can sing every word to “Hotel California,” “Desperado,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” and more ... When did that happen? Oh, well, it was a great show — and quite frankly, I still get “A Peaceful Easy Feeling” when I hear their music, and “In the Long Run,” I guess I just have to be thankful I’m not “Already Gone.” Ha! Thanks to Festival 56 for bringing this show to town!

TO Letter THE Editor

Honoring Richard Widmark To the Editor, Fans of Richard Widmark (1914-2008), the 1932 Princeton High School graduate who became a Hollywood movie star, have 15 more reasons to go to the Princeton Public Library, check out a Widmark movie, and rediscover this remarkable actor.

Among the 15 Widmark films that I recently bought and donated to the library is “How the West Was Won,” a 1962 star-studded epic that was filmed using the Cinerama wide-screen process.

Widmark plays a harddriving railroad construction foreman in a segment about the building of the transcontinental railroad after the Civil

War. Other movies new to the library’s Widmark film collection are “The Street with No Name” and “Road House” (both from 1948), “Halls of Montezuma” (1950), “O. Henry’s Full House” (1952), “Saint Joan” (1957), “The Trap” (1959), “The Long Ships,” “Flight from Ashiya” and “Cheyenne Autumn” (all from 1964), “The Sell-Out” (1976), “Rollercoaster” (1977), “The Swarm” (1978), “A Gathering of Old Men” (1987), and “Once Upon a Texas Train” (1988).

Two of Widmark’s costars among those films — John Wayne (“How the West Was Won”) and Jean Seberg (“Saint Joan”) — also came from Midwestern towns.

Winterset, Iowa, where Wayne was born, plans

a John Wayne Birthday Celebration on May 24-25. Hollywood star Maureen O’Hara has accepted the community’s invitation to attend.

The festival, “A Tribute to Maureen O’Hara,” will feature big-screen showings of all the films starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, a barbecue and dance, and a dinner and auction to benefit the John Wayne Birthplace Museum.

Marshalltown, Iowa, where Seberg was born and grew up, held its second annual Jean Seberg International Film Festival this past November. The fourday festival featured the showing of eight Seberg films in Marshalltown’s impressive Orpheum Theater Center, documentaries, exhibits, symposiums, and bus tours of Marshalltown sites

associated with the film star’s early life.

Proud of their famous former residents, Winterset and Marshalltown residents got together and acted to preserve the accomplishments of John Wayne and Jean Seberg.

I think Princeton area residents ought to do something similar for Richard Widmark, who would have turned 100 in 2014.

By the way, thanks to library Director Julie Wayland, Widmark Wednesday is back during May at the Princeton Public Library.

Please join Widmark fans at 6:30 p.m. May 8 and 22, and 6 p.m. May 29 to view three of Widmark’s adventure films from the 1950s. There will be no movie on May 15.

Monday night program to feature Tiskilwa’s role in early Bureau County TISKILWA — Almost 200 years ago, the first European settlers were moving to this frontier where the Potawatomi had a long-established home. What happened next?

On Monday evening, Carolyn Workman of Princeton will guide her audience along a pictorial journey through the county’s early history, with a special focus on Tiskilwa’s role from the 1800s to the 1840s. Hosted by the Tiskilwa Historical Society, the program begins at 7 p.m. in the Museum on Main, 110 E. Main St., Tiskilwa.

A history buff and past president of the Bureau County Historical Society, Workman has put together a story of the sights and legends of the European settlers as well as Native Americans who found a good home in the countryside’s fertile land and plentiful water sources.

Workman’s family roots in Tiskilwa go deep into the village’s history, with the early 1840s arrival of

Aylesworth is an awardwinning author and teacher who enjoys visiting schools, and he has many valuable lessons for young and old alike about the importance of courage, dedication and perseverance. His picturebooks, illustrated by some of the best artists in the field, including Barbar McClintock, Brad Sneed and Stephen Gammell, are filled with generous doses of loud sounds, rhythms and rhymes, which his 25 years as a

first-grade teacher have taught are the elements children like in a story.

He can relate the experience of being an author as only a veteran teacher can, and he inspires groups large and small to include more reading and writing in their lives. His titles include “Our Abe Lincoln,” “The Tale of Tricky Fox,” “Old Black Fly” and his most recent publication, “Cock-adoodle-doo, Creak, Poppop, Moo.” LCN Closers/Ingersoll Rand provided some of the funding for this program.

Peoria Christian rains on PHS parade Early up-rising lifts Hall past Trojans

By Jeff Schlesinger sports@bcrnews.com

EAST PEORIA — Even though virtually every other sporting competition in Northern Illinois was cancelled on Friday evening, the Princeton Tigresses and the Peoria Christian Chargers took to the soccer pitch at Eastside Centre in the annual Kickin’ Out Cancer event.

Dressed in bright pink outfits with white letters, PC came away with a 2-0 victory over Princeton who donned white outfits with bright pink letters.

The event was originally supposed to be held at Shea Stadium at Bradley University and included six other teams and three other matches. However, Bradley cancelled to preserve its field conditions and Princeton and Peoria Christian were the only two teams that found their way to the pitch in East Peoria.

“I was proud of my team. I thought they overcame adversity on whether not knowing the match would be canceled than changing venues missing four starters doing just great showing great team attitude and spirit and in just proud of them and showing that we are ready for the next opportunity Tuesday in the regionals,” PHS coach Ed Young said.

The rain held off throughout the game but the conditions were definitely sloppy. In fact, very few of the Princeton uniBCR photo/Jeff Schlesinger forms were white at the Princeton senior Lexi Marselle goes heads up for the Tigresses in action end of the game.

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Area athletes competed in three area 1A sectionals Saturday for the right to advance in the IESA State Junior High Track and Field finals in East Peoria this week. Here’s a rundown of results that were reported.

At Princeton: Princeton Christian Academy’s Eagle track team of just nine students competed

well Saturday, sending two athletes to state. Eighth-graders Grace Wolbrecht qualified for State with second in the 800 and Mauricio Jones qualified by taking second in the long jump.

For Malden, seventh-grade sectional champs were Kendra Cain (100, 14.0; long jump, 13-5) and Aleesha Foster (hurdles, 18.97; shot, 21-11). Other Malden qualifiers with seconds were Jayda Ramsey (200) and Taylor Hall

The seventh-graders 4x100 relay of Cain, Foster, Ramsey and Mikayla Wilhelm also qualified with a second place finish For Ladd, seventh-grader Genevieve Parente won the 1600 (6:13.34) and placed second in the 800 while eighth-graders Maddie Quinn won the 100 (13.78), hurdles (16.28) and pole vault (7-9), Kaylee Olivares won the 800 (2:59.06) and 1600 (6:40.72).

SPRING VALLEY – The Hall Red Devils used an offensive surge in the early innings to top the Mendota Trojans Saturday, 7-1, in non-conference boys’ varsity baseball action. “(We) got off to a good start and then sat on it,” said Hall coach Tom Keegan. “A win’s a win, but it would have been nice to have finished it off a little sooner. We just kind of played it out, got some early runs and just sat on it.”

Thus, Hall managed to avenge one of their only four losses on the season, a narrow 3-2 defeat the Red Devils suffered exactly two weeks ago on this same Foley Field in

Spring Valley amidst play in the Legends Wooden Bats Tournament, hosted

by Putnam County High School.

Senior Brett Fanning was the hitting star for the Red Devils (15-4), as the Hall shortstop stroked a two-run single up the middle in the first frame, then followed up with a ringing two-run double to deep center field just one inning later.

Taggart Venegas led off the bottom of the first inning with a double to deep left field on the first pitch he saw. Dan Nolasco followed with a single to right, leaving runners at second and third base with nobody out early on.

Fanning plated the game’s first two runs with a single up the middle.

on the outside, the offensive pressure from Peoria Christian was constant. In fact, Princeton only had one shot on goal for the night.

Princeton (7-7) did enter the game with a short bench, four girls out due to injury, all of whom were starters. Included in that group was leading scorer Michelle Kelly. To add insult to injury, outside midfielder Kim Schlesinger was carried off the field during the second half after sustaining an injury.

Hall eventually stranded the bases loaded, settling for an early 2-0 lead after one inning.

Trevor Urbanski, Hall’s No. 9 batter, led off the bottom of the second with a single that caromed off the second base bag. Venegas walked. Nolasco singled to right, scoring Urbanski.

With runners at second and third – Nolasco had moved to second on the throw into the infield – it was Fanning again coming up big with his bat.

Fanning drilled a 3-1 pitch to deep center field to make it 5-0, Hall.

Blake Moreno lined out into a double play, but Miguel Villarreal added the Red Devils’ sixth run on a solo home run, a fly ball that just kept carrying, eventually, over the fence in left field.

Trevor Urbanski drove in Matt Boucher, who had been hit by a pitch and stole second base, with a solid single to right center field in the bottom of the third, and Hall posted a 7-0 edge.

The Trojans committed four more errors in the field on Saturday, an emerging problem for the Mendota squad this season.

“It’s not the physical errors, it’s the mental mistakes. We’re having too many of those,” said Mendota coach Aaron Sester. “The kids have got to learn, we can’t win a baseball game with those mental mistakes. They’ve been numerous, and we’ve got to work together to fix that.

“You need to be on your toes, every inning, every pitch, know where you need to go with the ball if it’s hit to you. And we don’t seem to do that, grasp that, in the last couple days. The kids have to step up and start focusing in more.”

Austin Schmitt evened his pitching record this season against Mendota at 1-1, going the game’s first four innings, allowing no runs on four hits, while walking three and striking out four Trojans.

Pete Mautino relieved Schmitt on the mound in the fifth stanza, boasting a quick, six-pitch, essentially 1-2-3, inning when Matt Dornink singled to left but was thrown out at second base for the

Hunter Mickow and the Fighting Illinois are ranked No. 22 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association national poll. they travel to Columbus, Ohio this weekend to compete in the Big Ten Outdoor Championships.

Lorraine Stamberger, a sophomore from LaMoille, ran on Augustana College’s distance medley which placed 10th- and 11th-place in the 3200 relay at the prestigious Drake Relays.

Adam Weidner and the North Central Cardinals won a third straight College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championship. Weidner, a freshman from Wyanet, placed third in the shot put with a throw of 49-7 3/4. He was the IHSA state

inning’s third out.

Venegas ascended the mound for the sixth and seventh innings, laboring through 51 pitches (29 of them balls) and five walks, seemingly extending the visitors a little late-game hope.

But Venegas gave up only Aaron Olsen’s bases-loaded RBI-groundout to third that plated Trae Blumhorst.

With the bases re-loaded on Mendota’s fourth walk of the frame, Venegas retired both the Trojans’ Nos. 8 and 9 hitters on a flyout to shallow center and a called third strike, as Hall’s 7-1 lead was preserved.
