Princeton investigates burglaries Lock your vehicles!

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Princeton Police Department is investigating a series of vehicle burglaries that have been reported within the last couple weeks.

On Monday, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root confirmed four vehicle burglaries were reported last week, all which occurred on the northeast side of town.

One more vehicle burglary was reported this past weekend, having occurred on South Fifth Street. Root said a wallet had apparently been snatched from the unlocked vehicle.

Root confirmed all vehicles involved in the

burglaries had been left unlocked when items were taken from them. He said none of the vehicles were actually broken into.

Root confirmed the burglaries have taken place in vehicles either parked on the street or in the driveways of a residence and have all occurred during the early morning hours.

PRINCETON — Sixteen mosquito samples have been collected this year in Bureau and Putnam counties for West Nile Virus (WNV) testing, but none of those samples have tested positive for the disease.

Kurt Kuchle, director of health protection for the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, said the local health department has caught a ton of mosquitoes this year and has tested about four batches a week, throwing away the extras. So far, there have been three negative tests from Putnam County and 13 negative tests from Bureau County.

Describing the testing process, Kuchle said pool testing is done by placing 50 mosquitoes in a test tube with three bebes and a grinding solution. The mixture is placed in a shaker with the bebes spinning and grinding the mosquitoes into a slurry. The slurry is centrifuged down to get just the liquid part, which is transferred with a pipette into another tube, where a test strip is placed into the liquid. A dark line will develop as a control, and if a second dark line develops, then it is a positive WNV test, Kuchle said.

The local health department has also received two dead birds which tested negative for WNV from Putnam County, and no eligible “not rotten” birds from Bureau County. There is a five bird per county quota for the season, he said.

The peak time for WNV activity is usually the third week in July, which should be reflected in test results throughout the state. The WNV season has been delayed this year, but there

Bureau County 4-H provides first ever Shooting Sports program

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

LAMOILLE – Last month, the Bureau County 4-H Shooting Sports kicked-off its first program in the discipline of shotgun.

Youth involved in the program meet with trained adult shotgun instructors and learn about the safe and responsible use of firearms and marksmanship skills.

Jennifer Caldwell, coordinator for 4-H Youth Development Programs, said the discipline also allows youth to focus on life skills.

“They are learning about building self respect, listening and respecting the instructor, how to be responsible with the equipment and to make positive choices,” she said.

The program is taught by shotgun instructor Rex Biggs and his assistants, Roger Krueger and John Gorman. The shotgun program meets at the A2 Firearm and Tactical Training near LaMoille, which is owned by certified instructor Jay Irizarry. All instructors have been certified through the Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports volunteer training program.

The 4-H Shooting Sports also includes the disciplines of rifle and archery. Program coordinator Cyndi Olson explained Bureau County 4-H is currently just focusing on the disciplines of shotgun and archery, due in part by the lack of a certified instructor to teach the discipline of rifle. The discipline of archery program will begin in September.

Caldwell listed the four focuses of each 4-H program: Belonging, independence, mastery and generosity.

“With the Shooting Sports program they’re getting the belonging aspect in that they’re belonging to a group with youth that have similar interests

How about a little horror with your holiday?

Check out Walnut native’s film at the Apollo Theater

By Barb Kromphardt bkromphardt@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON – Looking for a little something more than your traditional red, white and

blue for the Fourth of July?

How about something with a little dread, horror and creepiness?

On Wednesday, “You Are Not Alone” will have a pre-screening at the Apollo Theater in Princeton at 10 p.m.

The movie was made

by Bureau Valley graduate and former Walnut resident Derek Mungor

and features Walnut as the backdrop for much of the scary events.

And not only the village is featured in the movie.

Walnut residents also took part either as extras or with small speaking roles. “’You Are Not Alone’ sets out to tell a suspense/horror story in a new and interesting

way,” Mungor said. “At its core, it is very much a story about family and returning to the place you grew up to find that it’s not so much that the places have changed, but you have.”

“You Are Not Alone” is about college graduate Natalie, who returns to Walnut, her hometown, over the Fourth of July.

The night she arrives,

she is stalked by a sociopathic killer.

Many Bureau County residents have a special interest in the movie as they helped pay for it. Last summer Mungor looked to raise funds on the Kickstarter website, and 121 backers provided $8,098 for the movie to be filmed during last year’s Fourth of July.

“We shot for a solid two weeks during the hottest part of the year, but beyond that, we couldn’t have asked for a better time to be in the area,” Mungor said. “Everyone in the community was very accommodating and supportive.”

Mungor said the public support was crucial.

“It could not have happened any other way,” he said. “The film is a product of as much as it is about this area.”

After Wednesday’s prescreening, Mungor hopes his movie is accepted at some of the top tier movie festivals in the United States and Canada. Distribution of the movie is planned for the Halloween season.

Is there more horror in Mungor’s future?

Not immediately, at least.

Immediately following the premiere, Mungor is going to be directing a television pilot set in Pittsburgh.

“And after wrapping up the distribution of ‘You Are Not Alone,’ I will be taking a much-needed break,” he said.

Stay safe this Fourth of July

Tips for firework safety

PRINCETON – It’s almost time for Fourth of July celebrations - fireworks, a backyard barbecue or maybe a trip to a beach. Whatever people have planned, it’s important to have fun and stay safe this holiday.

Local law officials are reminding the public its illegal for residents to use any type of firework that has an explosivetype component.

Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley said smoke bombs and handheld sparklers are the only legal firework in the state.

He also said just this past May, state officials have made Chinese lanterns illegal. The lanterns would involve users to insert a small 30-second burning candle into the small paper lantern and release them into the sky. Woolley said officials have discovered the lanterns could produce a flame longer than 30 seconds and could land into dry areas or on top of houses, producing a major fire hazard.

The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public fireworks show put on by professionals.

Stay at least 500 feet away from the show. If someone is setting fireworks off at home, they should follow these safety steps: • Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging.

• Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.

• Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

• Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.”

• Store fireworks on a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

• Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

• Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks.

Source: American Red Cross.

Sheriff John Thompson said purchasing fireworks across state lines and bringing them into Illinois is illegal, and violators could be ticketed.

Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston said his office receives many complaints around the Fourth of July. He said if they do receive several complaints at the same address, the resident can be ticketed under the firework or city’s noise ordinances.

For families who are lighting off legal fireworks, make sure an adult is the one supervising and lighting the firework.

Woolley said to make sure the location where the firework is being lit isn’t a dry grassy area which can catch fire quickly and easily. He said to also make sure fireworks are cooled down before they are discarded. Also, have an adult read the manufacturer’s recommendation on the side of the firework.

Going to the fireworks? ​Fireworks in the area begin at dark in the following locations: Spring Valley — Wednesday Mineral — Wednesday Hennepin — Thursday Kewanee — Thursday Princeton — Thursday Walnut — Sunday

“If it says to wear safety glasses, then do it. When the firework goes off, it may shoot pieces that could get into someone’s eye,” he warned.

Thompson said once the holiday is finished, people need to put away any unused fireworks.

“The Fourth of July should be a fun time for families and friends, but safety is always the first priority,” he said.

WYANET — The Wyanet Food Pantry had a busy month in June, according to Director Kathy Crayne.

On Monday, Crayne said the number of patrons was definitely higher in June, but overall monthly numbers have been fairly consistent this year. As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the food pantry has averaged about 150 people a month. The numbers seem to balance out as new people come and others leave, Crayne said.

As usual, summer time can be a busier time for the food pantry, since children are out of school and parents may need more help with groceries, since their children aren’t getting breakfast and lunch at school. Also, Crayne said there has been a recent increase in the number of senior citizens using the food pantry.

Right now, the shelves at the Wyanet Food Pantry are fairly well stocked, but supplies always need to be replenished. She said the community has been good to help with supplying items for the food pantry.

“It seems when money is tight, people get even more generous,” Crayne said.

Looking at recent community donations, the Wyanet Post Office collected items for the food pantry during the recent postal service collection. Also, Casey’s General Store in Wyanet has a coin collection jar on its counter for the food pantry and also gives food items to the food pantry from its own shelves.

With monetary donations, the food pantry is able to buy food supplies at reduced costs through

the River Bend Food Bank in the Quad Cities and the Midwest Food Bank in Peoria. As the summer progresses, fresh garden produce is also welcomed.

Looking at needs for the food pantry, Crayne said the need right now is for additional volunteers to help on the Thursday distribution days. The current volunteers are a wonderful group of people, but summer time means vacations and it’s difficult to always have the needed people to work. Also, it would be nice to have some younger people take advantage of this community volunteer opportunity, she said.

Established in March 2003 as an outreach of the Wyanet United Methodist Church, the Wyanet Food Pantry is all about being a good neighbor, Crayne said. To qualify for the services of the Wyanet Food Pantry, an individual or family must live in Wyanet or Wyanet Township.

“It can be the hardest thing to come in and ask for help,” Crayne said.

“We make sure to try to make them feel like we are just their neighbors — there to help them out.

We are all about being a helping hand to others.”

The Wyanet Food Pantry is housed in the basement of the First United Methodist Church, located at 112 W. Main St. Hours are from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursdays. However, the food pantry will be closed Thursday due to the Fourth of July holiday but will reopen on July 11.

John Gorman, who is an assistant to the 4-H Shooting Sports program shotgun instructor, gives advice on aiming a shotgun to participant Luke Schultz during a recent group meeting at the A2 Firearm & Tactical Training near LaMoille. The program is led by adult volunteers who have been certified through the Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports volunteer training program.

Shooting From Page 1 and instructors who are skilled and able to work with them … They’re getting independent decision-making in terms of choosing what types of shooting sports discipline and how they progress through the program,” she said. “The generosity will come in the next phase where we’ll see some of the kids who are more experienced giving advice to those who are newer and helping them out … Of

Burglaries From Page 1 Root advises residents to keep vehicles locked at all times. He said it’s tempting for some peo-

course, mastery, they are learning to master a new skill.”

Students who attended the shotgun program’s last meeting on Sunday were asked why they wanted to participant in the program. Answers varied, but one participant said he wanted to learn the skill of shotgun. Another participant said he just wanted to try something new, and a third participant said he wanted to do more shooting and “hopefully get into competitive shooting.”

Caldwell said national 4-H Shooting Sports began in the 1970s in Texas and

has since spread to other states. Illinois got the approval for the Shooting Sports program in 2009.

Currently about 84 of the 102 Illinois counties provide the opportunity for their youth.

“It’s something that has been going on for a long time national, but just a short time in Illinois,” she said.

Olsen said the state is currently working on setting up 4-H Shooting Sports competitions between counties.

The shotgun program will continue to meet throughout the summer. New members are

welcome to attend the shotgun program, which is open to all youth who were 10-18 years old as of Sept. 1, 2012. There is a $65 fee for the shotgun program. Youth who are not already part of the 4-H community club, may also be required to pay the $20 annual 4-H program fee. Youth do not need to own their own shotgun to participate but should bring their own eye protection and hearing protection. To register, contact the University of Illinois Extension office at 815-875-2878.

Root said if someone has to leave items in their

car, make sure to cover them or put them in a place out of sight.

“It’s an out of sight, out of mind thing,” Root said.

“If they see them, they will open the door and take them.”

The investigation continues into the burglaries.

“The catch is that high activity in birds and mosquitoes does not always translate directly to a lot of human cases, hopefully because people take the precautions we send out,” Kuchle said.

Illinois for the 2013 season. IDPH collected a positive mosquito sample on June 24 in Perry County and on June 24 in St. Clair County. Statewide, the first positive mosquito sample was collected in May in Cook Coun-

ty. Since then, DuPage and McHenry, also in northern Illinois, have also confirmed positive WNV positive mosquito samples.

“As temperatures rise we are starting to see West Nile virus in mosquitoes,” Hasb-

rouck said. “Remember to protect yourself by wearing insect repellent and getting rid of any standing water around your home.”

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the IDPH has encouraged residents to follow the three Rs of precautions. Those three Rs are Reduce exposure by avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn; Repell mosquitoes by wearing shoes, socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirt and insect repellent when outdoors; and Report areas of stagnant water to local health or municipal officials.

From the editor’s desk I just got back from a week-long vacation to Nashville, Tenn. As many of you know, I lived in Nashville for 10 years, and while I always enjoy going back, it had been quite a few years since I had stepped foot on “good ole Rocky Top.” They always say you can’t really go back. After all, it’s been 20 years since I called Nashville my home, and you can imagine the changes that have occurred. While I could still navigate around the city fairly well, there were lots of surprises, changes, mixed emotions. Though those changes equated to me feeling as if I had lost a Terri piece of my past, I also left Nashville Simon embracing the new and the different.

But amidst all the new experiences, there was clearly one thing that hadn’t changed.

One of my reasons for my trip was to visit with my long-time friend Cathy, who is originally from Princeton but transplanted herself in the Nashville area more than 25 years ago. While we keep in touch via emails, texts and phone calls, it’s not the same as a face-to-face conversation. It was great to see her and to pick up right where we left off the last time we got together. Though we are both a bit older and own a few more gray hairs, her friendship was exactly the same as when we met almost 40 years ago.

While Nashville has changed extensively since my days there and I truly understood you can never go back to the way it used to be, I found comfort in knowing the best things in life aren’t places or things, rather the people who have been a part of your past who will ultimately remain with you ... unchanged!

••• Can you believe the Fourth of July is Thursday already? Whoa! Seems like we just finished up the school year, took flowers out for Memorial Day, got our gardens planted and opened the area pools.

As you can imagine, a fireworks display is not cheap. A lot of time, energy and money goes into putting together these celebrations, so if you can, please try to attend. But FYI … I just read an article about the effects of fireworks on your canine friends.

Their ears are so very sensitive, so please leave them at home. And if you are going to use sparklers, etc., please remember to supervise children … and in many cases, some adults who need supervision too! Have fun, and Happy Birthday, USA! ••• Thought for the Fourth of July: “My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!” Theodore Roosevelt.

••• Where in the World is the BCR? Don’t forget to take along a copy of the BCR on your next vacation. When you get to your destination, have someone snap a photo of you holding the BCR — maybe in front of a landmark or other cool background. When you get home, email the photo to BCR Associate Editor Rita Roberts along with information about who is in the photo and where you are. We’ll be happy to let your friends, neighbors and other readers know … Where in the World is the BCR? ••• They’re here! Have you picked up your copy of Illinois Valley Living? Our increasingly popular magazine has hit the streets. You can find them at a variety of locations in the Illinois Valley or feel free to stop by our office to pick up your complimentary copy. I hope you enjoy it! If you ever have an idea for a story for Illinois Valley Living, send me an email to tsimon@bcrnews.com.

••• I hope you have a great Fourth of July. While I know there are always many things to accomplish on a day off of work, take some time to enjoy the day with family and friends. Kick back and chat, relax and enjoy. Have a cookout; go the fireworks; make a memory. There is only one Fourth of July 2013! And remember … you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street

What does Independence Day mean to you?

“It’s when our country gained our freedom. We celebrate with sparklers and fireworks with our family.”

Jessie Lowder, LaMoille

“Independence Day is a day to celebrate our freedom by having fun with friends and watching fireworks.”

Michael Kramer, Princeton

“It is a chance to celebrate the greatness of our country and all the many freedoms that we have.”

David Larkin, Walnut

“Independence Day is about freedom, and it’s a great day spent celebrating with the family.”

Lindsay Funderberg, Princeton

“Independence means the right to live freely, and I’m grateful for those rights and liberties because other countries don’t have them.”

Sara Hildebrand, Princeton

First and then some “How can there be a best in a world of individuals?” Hugh Prather, “Notes to Myself.”

I walked away from the television the second that Ted Ginn Jr. got tackled and the Ravens began to storm the field. I couldn’t stand watching the celebration because my team was not the one taking part in it. The family and friends in my house quickly evacuated the scene, sensing the despair that I was trying desperately to shield from the open air through statements masked with words of thanks and appreciation for their presence. My favorite team had played in the Super Bowl, and yet at that moment I felt as if they hadn’t won a game since I started cheering for them as a child.

A few days ago I finished watching the San Francisco 49ers most recent season, from the first snap at Lambeau Field through the final tackle in the Louisiana Superdome, for the second time in the last calendar year. I have been a huge fan of the red and gold for the past two decades of my life, and after a considerable amount of mourning, I finally pushed play on the fresh footage in the DVR to reminisce about and enjoy this great season the team just accomplished.

At a young age, we learn to compete with our surroundings. We try to get in another few moments of fun before the sun dives completely behind the far edge of the earth. We push and pound the buttons on the controller through one more level before Mom shuts the game system down for the night. We reach for one more cookie before our hand is slapped away from the jar. We whisper one more giggle to a friend before our eyes are cloaked with the

Eric Engel COMMENTARY lids of evening, our ears with the sound of dreams.

As growth surpasses the infancy of age and stretches our physical borders outward and up, we begin to understand more about competition through the incorporation of social interaction. We develop an intimate understanding of the words winner and loser. We shimmer like mad, weightless animals in the spoils of victory. We crumble like sandcastles in the oceans of defeat.

For all the inspirational parents and coaches out there, vastly informative of character construction during those moments of competitive setbacks, there are creeping and cowardly sources of scorn that ensure us losing implies we are worthless and obsolete, securing one of infinite negative results rather than the single positive one. I’ve felt great after winning many contests I’ve come across, and yet I’m sure the amount of times I’ve encountered a loss easily outnumbers the entirety of victorious recollections in the memory bank.

I have always been a sore loser, and although I’ve gotten better with it lately in life, I was still yelling vulgarities at the TV screen a few days ago while watching a game of which the results had been cemented weeks prior. I wanted to despise each Baltimore player that danced excessively after barely lifting a finger toward the overall body

of work. I wanted to scream at the referees to get their glasses checked on a handful of missed calls. I wanted to laugh and hug and seemingly float with joy above the ground for a few minutes as the clock struck midnight.

I wanted Crabtree to catch that ball on fourth down.

But he didn’t, and I won’t because I can’t. My favorite team lost the most important game of the season, by social standards, and yet they are not losers. They won in every way I could have hoped for this season. They grew as players, and as men, and thanks to the entire experience, I did as well. I got to celebrate great individual efforts that concluded in collective force week after week, and had the honor of cheering on my team until there were literally zero seconds left on the clock. If you want to claim the wins, you have to own the losses.

I caught the ball once in high school when we were down by a few and racing the clock, and I turned up field to see the greenest grass I ever had, nothing but the end zone in sight. I ran like I was coming home from war into the arms of a lover, but someone caught me, and as I hurried to the sideline for coach to give me the next play, I remember the crowd screaming with adulation as if the enemy had already fallen. We didn’t end up winning that game, but I sure don’t remember losing.

So after all this time ... thanks for an unforgettable season ‘Niners! We’ll catch that pass next year.

BVN fourth-grade artists visit the Art Institute of Chicago CHICAGO — On May 3, Andrew Blackert’s and Becky Dye’s fourth-grade classes at Bureau Valley North traveled to Chicago to see the sculptures and paintings the Art Institute had to offer.

The trip was the culmination of a year long study of artists and their work in Susan Berry’s visual arts class.

The students studied artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Jackson

Pollock, Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe. In the art class, in addition to discussing artists, the students tried their hand at cubism, impressionism, realism, splatter painting, Pop Art and sculpture.

Finally, the students traveled to the Art Institute to see the masterpieces up-close. The children asked questions and offered comments as they were guided through the museum by Berry. One

of the highlights of the tour of the Art Institute of Chicago was seeing Pablo Picasso’s painting, “The Three Musicians.”

The painting was on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. When the students were done with their tour, they walked over to Millennium Park to take in the fountains, Cloud Gate and the architecture of the city.

The fourth grade classes Photo contributed and teachers enjoyed the Andrew Blackert’s and Becky Dye’s fourth-grade classes stand in front of Cloud learning adventure.

The senior class at St. Bede will be one to be remembered at the academy, strong in all sports, especially baseball.

There are six members of the regional champion Bruins squad that dot the 2013 All-BCR Baseball Team.

Logan Bima (St. Bede, sr., catcher): While batting .333, the lefty swinger had a proficiency for making his hits count big. He had an area-best 29 RBIs and had 16 extra-base hits (4 homers, 6 doubles, 6 triples). The former first baseman/DH made the transition to catcher and proved to be a rock solid behind the plate.

Brett Fanning (Hall, sr., P/SS): The Red Devils ace went 7-2 with a 1.92 ERA,s striking out an area-high 87 batters in 47.3 innings. The co-BCR Player of the Year also shined at the plate for his senior season, raising his average 84 points to .430 and led Hall in runs scored (26), RBIs (28), doubles (9), homers (2) and stolen bases (11).

He will play for Division II Upper Iowa University next year.

Brad Groleau (St. Bede, sr., RF): The co-BCR Player of the Year had another all-around solid season for the Bruins, both on the mound and at the plate.

Groleau batted .465 with 22 RBIs, five doubles, three triples and a homer. The southpaw also posted a 5-0 record with a 2.06 ERA. He will continue his career

Matt Hayes (Princeton, sr., P/1B/ OF): A three-year honoree to the AllBCR Team, Hayes capped his Tiger career with a solid senior season. He led the Tigers in hitting with a .315 average to go with 14 RBIs and seven doubles.

He also posted a 2-3 record with a 3.03 ERA, taking the mound for the Tigers’ first game of the season and the last.

Coach Tim Taylor says Hayes is a team captain, who takes the job seriously.

McKinley Kruger (Bureau Valley, sr., SS): The senior shortstop led the Storm with a .311 batting average, adding eight RBIs with a homer and three doubles. He received First Team Three Rivers All-Conference honors. Kruger will play for Illinois Valley Community College next year.

Sam Lucas (St. Bede, sr., CF/2B): Third for the Bruins and third in the area, Lucas batted .463 with 31 hits in 67 at-bats. The senior second sacker/ outfielder also drove in 15 runs and had four doubles and two triples.

Blake Moreno (Hall, jr., C): The junior Hall catcher was steady behind the plate and at the plate, batting .380.

He also ranked high among area leaders in RBIs (18), doubles (10), triples (1) and homers (1), having a knack for hitting the gaps, Keegan said. Earned second team Tri-County Conference

100 million years ago A canyon wall is like a huge rock clock.

The lower layers were laid down first and are the oldest. The upper layers are younger.

Looking carefully at STRATA, or layers of sedimentary rock, helps scientists to find out the age of rocks and mountains. These layers formed slowly as bits of rock and grains of sand settled on top of each other.

first primates and extinction of dinosaurs

Over the ages, animals and plants became buried in the sediment and changed into fossils. Rocks that have the same kinds of fossils are believed to be the same age.

This is called RELATIVE DATING.

In the summer of 1990, Sue Hendrickson found the fossilized bones of a T. rex when she was a fossil hunter for the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in Hill City, South Dakota. The dinosaur she found is now named Sue, too!

“I was pretty lucky,” says Sue. “But it does take more than just luck,” she admits. Sue knew the right kind of rock to explore because she understood about strata.

From Page 11 honors.

Danny Nolasco (Hall, jr., P/SS): Keegan said the senior pitcher/infielder did things for the Red Devils that are hard to put a numerical value one. At the plate, the repeat All-BCR pick batted .337 with 24 runs scored and 13 RBIs. He also posted a 4-1 record on the mound with a 4.16 ERA. His versatility, will be missed, Keegan said. Received second team Tri-County Conference honors.

Brandon Pietrowski (St. Bede, sr., 3B/P): On a team with hot hitters, the Bruins third baseman carried the hottest bat of them all.

The blonde bomber finished the season with an area-best .478 average while driving in 22 runs. That kind of hitting helped his cause on the mound, where he went 4-2 with a 2.56 ERA. Jake Postula (St. Bede, sr., LF): Perhaps in the shadow of some big bats in the Bruins lineup, the senior left fielder put together a quiet, but steady season at the dish for St. Bede. Postula

hit .424 with 22 runs scored, four doubles and 14 RBIs. Damin Smith (St. Bede, sr., SS): The senior righthander was the No. 1 of the Big 3 on the Bruins pitching staff. He did not lose a game until the sectional semifinals, posting an 8-1 record with a 1.67 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 50.1 innings.

Isaiah Taylor (Princeton, jr., P/CF): The junior lefty sparkled on the mound, going 5-0 with an area-low 1.41 ERA. At the plate, he batted .312 with six RBIs, five doubles and five stolen bases. He also covered a lot of ground in center field. PHS coach Tim Taylor said the Tiger center-fielder plays every game “with intensity and still has fun.”
