Kidding around in DePue

Recount show same results

Owner says miniature goat is a service animal

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

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

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

The nuisance is a miniature goat, which is a registered service animal for her son who was diagnosed with autism, transient tic disorder, and child and sleep disorder. The goat is specially trained for his needs and has been with the family in DePue for two years, according to Baker.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By statute, only five signatures were required for the discovery recount.

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

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

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Board has made several appointments to area boards and approved contracts for summer road projects.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Transportation Committee Chairman Steve Sondgeroth presented resolutions for projects totaling more than $440,000 for the county board’s consideration.

Lee County wind: Board leader pushes compromise

By David Giuliani Shaw Media Service

DIXON – The chairman of the Lee County Board still supports a proposed wind farm, but he is pushing a compromise that would include strong conditions on the project.

R ick K etchum , D-Amboy, said he and others are working on the conditions. He provided few details.

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

In rejecting the 53

turbines, the zoning board majority contended the project would hurt the rural character of the area.

They also said the company failed to reveal the turbine model it planned to use, which would have an effect on the project’s noise. It also lacked a plan for taking down the turbines after the project ends.

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

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

recommendation.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, Ketchum said the county’s wind farm regulations weren’t strong enough, which he said prompted the effort to impose conditions on the Mainstream project.

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

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

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

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

He predicted a close vote.

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

Supporters of wind farms say they dramatically boost property tax revenue for government entities such as schools.

Mainstream’s proposal is part of a threecounty wind farm, which includes Whiteside and Bureau counties. Last year, Whiteside County approved nine turbines, while Bureau County’s zon-

Transportation $$$ OK at SVE

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

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

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

Hall

DePue

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

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

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

From here, the objectors could choose to file a petition in circuit court asking to have the April referendum count overturned or declared invalid, among other options.

However, any petition must be filed in court by the end of the month, Hieronymus said.

From Page 1 “We’ve never had this situation before,” he said.

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

service animal.

“I’m not against Miranda on this issue, I’m for it; but I’ve got to think about the whole community,” he said.

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

be amended to accommodate Baker’s situation.

Frost suggested putting a permitting procedure in place where each case would be submitted to the zoning board, and the person would have to pay a modest application and register fee.

“You could have an ordinance that it’s got

to be a miniature animal of some sort, adequate enclosure, and the animals have to be kept in a clean fashion,” he said.

Baker said if it came down to having to pay a fee for the service animal, she would be willing to cooperate with the decision.

CPASA promotes ‘I Choose’ project

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

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

The Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) partnered with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to promote May 13-18 as National Prevention Week.

An estimated 70 local messages, along with photos of the people giving those messages, are posted on the CPASA website at www.cpasa.org.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Considerations

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

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

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

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

It is our obligation to take care of our property. If we eventually can’t afford to or don’t have the energy, we need to let someone help us do the right thing.

Property is like a living thing to me and has a history unique to it alone. It has breath, history and stories that tell us about ourselves and others who lived within.

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

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

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

And of course, don’t forget to be kind.

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

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

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

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

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

It’s just better that way.

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

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

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

The moment the trunk lid slammed shut, I happened to notice the tassel was not connected to the mortarboard hat.

In fact, it was nowhere to be seen. My son and I looked wideeyed at each other as we imagined him not having a tassel to push over to the other side. I believe that might nullify the whole two-year degree. Hopefully the tassel was still in the trunk of the car which was just now starting to pull away from us.

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

Instead of yelling “Hey!! Stop

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bouxsein is a Princeton native and a 1982 Princeton High School graduate.

The annual award from the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) and the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), valued at 20,000 EUR, recognizes a researcher who has made outstanding and groundbreaking achievements in basic bone science.

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

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

Bouxsein currently holds joint appointments as an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School, adjunct assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Boston University, and is also a faculty member in the MITBioastronautics Program.

Her research focuses on understanding skeletal fragility from a biomechanics viewpoint, and includes studies using animal models and human cadaveric tissue, as well as clinical investigations.

She also has a strong interest in the use of novel non-invasive imaging techniques to predict fracture risk and monitor

Bureau Valley’s Sydney Lebahn spins to make a discus throw in Thursday’s 1A State prelims in Charleston. She was 13th overall, missing the finals’ cut by just one position. Finals will be held Saturday at O’Brien Stadium.

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

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

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

Classmate Regan Weidner is ranked 13th heading into Saturday’s 3200 meter run based on sectional seeding.

She placed third last year. There are no state prelims in the 3200.

They will be joined in the 1A finals

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

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

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

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

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

Princeton’s Jaimee Ciesielski took second base the hard way with a collision with Mendota shortstop Haley Walters in the fifth inning in Wednesday’s regional game.

She continued an adventurous trip around the bases to give PHS a 3-0 lead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lady Trojans trip Tigresses in 10 innings

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

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

Mendota pitcher Ashlyn Ken-

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

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

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

Missed opportunities both ways.

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

From Page 11 ing freshman, was rolling early in the game, riding a 3-0 lead and a no-hitter through four innings.

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

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

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

Menzel retired 11 straight batters leading into the home half of the fifth.

She walked the leadoff batter, who was followed by a bunt hit by Mallory Defore and a walk to Haley Walters to load the bases. Brooke Carroll ripped a two-run double that got past right fielder Alisa Holmbeck to make it 3-2 Kennedy’s comebacker brought home Carroll with the tying run with Menzel recording the out at first. An errant pickoff throw to third by Jaques brought Carroll in with the go-ahead run for a 4-3 Mendota lead.

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

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

With the loss, James had to say

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

Notes: The host and top-seed St. Bede Lady Bruins await Mendota (1112) in Saturday’s regional title game at 11 a.m. at the Academy diamond. St. Bede coach Bill Prokup and staff joked that ace pitcher Lainie Schweickert will be in the circle even if they have to take her out there in a wheelchair.

St. Bede moved into the finals with a 7-1 win over Somonauk on Tuesday.

From Page 11 low line drive to center field. It was hit so hard that center-fielder Isaiah Taylor, who looked to be positioned perfectly to play it on one bounce, most likely would have been able to prevent any runs from scoring.

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

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

We didn’t put the bat on the ball enough.”

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

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

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

While the Tigers were generous in giving runs away, Cain and the Hawks did not return the favor.

Cain pitched a complete game, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out seven.

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

Fifth-seeded Oregon, who had to travel to Sterling for a play in-game against Sterling Newman on Monday, now advances to the regional championship Saturday morning against Mendota. The Trojans defeated No. 2 seed Forreston 3-2.

“Pitching is the key to our advancement,” said Hawk coach Adam Albrecht.

“Murray pitched a really nice game in Newman and Cain did a great job tonight. We know that if we can give him (Cain) some support, even a little bit of support, we’ll be in the game.”

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

PHS second baseman J.J. Vaccaro keeps his eye on the ball at Oregon Wednesday. The Tigers fell to the Hawks 6-1. next year. Finishing 2013 at 12-10, the Tigers only graduate four seniors.

With a talented group of underclassmen to add to an experienced group of juniors, expectations are high for next year.

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

Dean to get back in the game at Sauk

Roundup

Tigers second in NCIC finale

By Kevin Hieronymus

By BCR Sports Staff

sports@bcrnews.com

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

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

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

Dean said Sauk was just a good fit for her. She had considered IVCC.

Princeton placed second at the varsity level and first in the F/S level in the final NCIC boys track and field at Rathje Track last week.

IVC edged PHS 85-78 for varsity honors with St. Bede (18) third in a three-team field.

NCIC varsity champs for Princeton were Zach Anderson in the 3200 (10:43.96) and 1600 (5:06.4), Caleb Strom in the 200 (23.66), Drew Pranka Zach in the 110 hurdles (17.16) and Andersen pole vault (10-6), Jordan Sissel in the shot (43-1 1/2) and Austen Stewart in the high jump (6-4).

St. Bede’s Steven Gualandri won the 300 hurdles (40.86) and triple jump (40-0).

PHS F/S champs were Jacob Gleason (400), Cody Workman (1600, 3200), Lenny Mead (300 hurdles), Brock Griffin (200), Miles Rose (high jump), Trevor Bickett (shot), Luke Marselle (long jump).

PHS, which best St. Bede 90-53 for the F/S team title, also swept the relays.

St. Bede F/S champs were Baylee Hopps (110 hurdles, triple jump), Justin Shaw (100), Jeff Barnes (800) and John Barnes (discus).

Hall tumbles in regional semifinal

By Derek Johnson sports@bcrnews.com

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

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

only giving up two runs.

“Doesn’t matter with those guys, two strikes, two outs they’re (Marquette) up here hitting. That’s what they do,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. “We were able to hang around a little bit there until the seventh inning. Unfortunately, it just snowballed on us. Balls were getting hit into the outfield and Snyder really did a number on us.”

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

“It’s far enough away from IV. I’ve lived her all my life,” Dean said of the Illinois Valley.

“I’ll get to experience something new and different. It’s only an hour away and I can come home if I miss it.”

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

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

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

in the sixth to go up 2-0 on an error.

The game was within Hall’s grasp going into the seventh, down only two runs.

That’s when the floodgates opened.

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

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

C ommunity B anking W eek Keep Your Money In Your Community

Financial concerns are a leading cause of stress.

Here are some new ways to save money.

• Examine the contents of your storage unit.

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

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

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

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

can quickly accumulate and add up to big bucks.

• Stop losing receipts. Missing receipts often deter people from going to a store to return or replace items that do not fit or did not work out.

Instead, be mindful of receipts, always opting to have them put into your wallet instead of just leaving them in the bag.

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

Service that’s

personal, simple, banking that’s

decision making that’s

From Page 13 each of his players checking in with him each morning in the fitness center to be sure she is getting to class and they have good interschool communication between faculty and Coach Johnson. She felt really comfortable with him and how he coaches. For just being a short way from home, she is getting a great college experience and a tremendous opportunity for herself to really leap into the next phase of her life.”

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

“Getting to the next

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

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

Dean plans to study public relations and mass communications at Sauk.

“She was about two seconds off her 800 time, but hung on to make the finals,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said.

“I knew it was going to be tough, because there was some girls in her heats that ran 58, 59 in their sectionals in bad weather, but had run 56s and 57s before. I knew that’d be a tough double anyway.”

Both Bureau Valley sophomore Sydney Lebahn (discus) or Amboy/LaMoille senior Autumn Smith (shot), just missed the 1A finals cut.

Lebahn was ranked 13th with a toss of 107-10, needing a 110-3 to advance.

“She was disappointed.

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

NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that on May 8, 2013, a certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Bureau County, Illinois, setting forth the names and post office addresses of all of the persons owning, conducting and transacting the busi-

ness known as J & K Express located at 1002 Lora Avenue, Princeton, IL 61356.

Dated this 8th day of May, 2013. /s/Kamala S. Hieronymus Bureau County Clerk Published in the Bureau County Republican May 11, 18 and 25, 2013.

Investment Partnership funds under Title (II) of the (National Affordable Housing Act) of 19( 90 ), as amended, to undertake a project known as (the Tri-County Opportunities Council’s Homebuyer Assistance Program with Rehabilitation SHB50659), for the purpose of down payment, closing costs and rehabilitation assistance for the benefit of low- and very low-income buyers of single family dwellings in Bureau, Carroll, Ogle, LaSalle, Lee, Putnam, Marshall, Stark and Whiteside Counties, Illinois. $500,000 has been set aside for this moderate rehabilitation, and program related administrative expenses.

The activities proposed ARE CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDED UNDER HUD REGULATIONS AT 24 CFR PART 58 FROM NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at Tri County Opportunities Council 405 Emmons Avenue Rock Falls, Illinois and may be examined or copied weekdays ( 9:00 ) a.m. to ( 4:00 ) p.m.

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

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

RELEASE OF FUNDS The Illinois Housing Development Authority certifies to HUD that it’s Executive Director or Chief Operating Officer HIS/HER capacity as Executive Director or Chief Operating Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.

HUD’s acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows Tri- County Opportunities Council to use Program funds.

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

The smart move: choose IVCC

first.

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

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

Make the smart move, start college at home.

Save $30,000 or more!
