Computer repair scams

$173,250 headed to

DePue

Tax levy for Princeton

By Donna Barker [email protected]

PRINCETON — Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson has released a statement warning area residents about unsolicited telephone calls from individuals claiming to have knowledge of the resident’s personal home computer.

“These phone calls are an unscrupulous attempt to gather personal information,” Thompson said.

According to recent reports, Bureau County citizens have indicated there are individuals who are contacting residents by telephone and claiming to have a working technical knowl-edge of the resident’s personal home computer, Thompson said. The caller will identify himself

or herself as a technology specialist who is employed by a “fake technology company” and will suggest the resident has “problems with” or a “virus on” their computer, the sheriff said.

The caller will then try to entice the resident into providing personal and confidential infor-mation that can place the resident’s financial assets in jeopardy, Thompson said, adding reports indicate the caller consistently speaks with a strong foreign accent.


DEPUE — The village of DePue will receive a $173,250 state grant to renovate its ground level water storage tank on the north side of town.

Gov. Pat Quinn made the announcement on Friday, saying the DePue grant is part of a $8.83 million investment which the state is making in 23 towns or townships for improvements in their water and sewer systems.

“This project is vital to DePue and sup-ports basic community needs,” Quinn said. “I am pleased to support this work that will provide jobs and a foundation for commu-nity renewal.”

On Friday, DePue Mayor Eric Bryant said he’s pleased to learn DePue will receive the grant, and now the village can go forward with the bidding process for the water stor-age tank project.

The renovation work will include draining the water storage tank, doing some interior repair work and also painting the exterior of the tank. The work will probably begin sometime next spring, Bryant said.

The village has a second water tank which is also on-line and will be used to supply water to the entire town, while the main tank is being renovated, Bryant said.

The total project cost, including local matching funds, is $225,000.

In making the state grant announce-ment, Quinn said the investment was made through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s (DCEO) Community Development Assis-tance Program, which targets areas with populations of less than 50,000 that are outside of urban counties.

Most of the money is for work on water and sewer lines, some of which are dealing with emergency needs, Quinn said. The housing component will allow for improve-ments to 105 single-family homes state-wide, he said.


PRINCETON – The pro-posed 2013 tax levy ordi-nance is available for read-ing at Princeton City Hall.

At this week’s meeting, the Princeton City Coun-cil had a first reading of the upcoming tax levy ordi-nance and is expected to formally adopt the ordi-nance after a second read-ing. The ordinance deals with levying taxes for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2014, and ending April 30, 2015.

Princeton City Manager Jeff Clawson said the city’s proposed tax levy is for about $1.6 million, which is a very small increase from last year. The city’s tax rate, exclusive of taxes for Princeton Public Library, is about 81 cents, with the library adding another 35 to 36 cents, for a total tax rate of about $1.15-$1.16, the city manager said.

The 2012-13 tax levy brought in revenue to the city of $1,594,553 through property taxes, Clawson said. The proposed tax levy shows an estimated total revenue of $26,565,000 for the city budget, with about $24,970,447 of that amount coming from rev-enue sources other than the tax levy, he said.

The city council also received the city’s recent fiscal year audit, which Clawson said showed “a solid financial report for the city.” The 75-page report was accepted as presented.

In other business, Claw-son reported he and Princ-eton City Clerk Pete Nel-son had gone recently to Bloomington to take part in the State Farm Insur-ance Company’s used fur-niture program for govern-mental entities. Clawson had submitted a request for the program, and the city received about $20,000 in good used furniture, includ-ing 35 office chairs, tables and desks.

The program is a great service provided by State Farm Insurance, Clawson said.

“The best action to take when contacted by individuals who you don’t personally know, and for matters which you have not requested assistance in resolving, is simply

hang up,” Thompson said. “If they persist, hang up again and contact your telephone service provider

nuisance division.”The main thing to

remember is these unwanted callers can-

not access the resident’s personal home computer information without the resident’s help and sup-

port, Thompson said.“They will make every

attempt to convince you they are working on your behalf. However they will mislead you into provid-ing some type of personal information that will allow them access to your per-sonal assets,” Thompson said.

To help safeguard them-selves against this scam, as well as others, Thompson encouraged residents to stay close to trusted family members for support. And again, do not provide any information to unknown individuals (or anyone) during a telephone con-versation, he said.


The funds originate from the U.S. Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development and are administered by the DCEO.

Also commenting on the recent grant announce-ment, DCEO Director Adam Pollett said these investments are impor-tant to the quality of life in rural communities statewide. Better public services and an improved housing stock will help these regions attract jobs, he said.

Are you ready for winter?

SHEFFIELD — Holiday spirit, great deals, plenty of treats and more are on the agenda for the third annual Celebrate Sheffield holiday event, set for Nov. 16.

The chance to win Shef-field Bucks is one of many activities planned for the event. There will be more than 20 village-wide open houses. A total of $500 of Sheffield Bucks will be offered to lucky winners, who in turn will be able to be used toward the purchase of products and services at Sheffield busi-nesses.

The main events begin at 10 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. The village will have holiday music playing, and the streets will be lined with Christmas decorations.

Participants will also be able to take the ever-popular horse-drawn wagon rides to destina-tions throughout the vil-lage. Businesses will have holiday sales and sponsor a gift-basket walk.

The Sheffield Public Library will also be getting into the holiday spirit and host a book sale, a chil-dren’s reading time and a book signing event by Shef-field author/Bureau County Republican Editor Terri Simon, who will be signing her recently-released book “Grandma’s Cookie Jar.”

Other events include:• The Sheffield Pride

Arts Center will show free movie matinees complete with freshly-popped pop-corn.

• The historic Danish church will be open for tours.

• Many of the village’s other churches will be offering activities too.

• The Sheffield Historical Society will be open and ready to greet event-goers.

• Radio station WUNT will be recording individ-ual spots with participants who will be broadcast throughout the holiday season.

• Local restaurants and St. Patrick’s Catho-lic Church will be serving meals. Most of the other locations open for the event will provide food, hot cocoa and treats.

Celebrate Sheffield is the joint effort of 21 different businesses and organiza-tions. That number is up from last year’s number of 15.

The community can help to make it a success by inviting family and friends to enjoy the fes-tive atmosphere, said Cele-brate Sheffield coordinator Mary Ann Cernovich.

Cernovich thanked Sara Osborn for helping with promotional work and Dave Jensen and Michelle Mannon for providing the horse and wagon for the rides. She would also like to thank Sheffield Pride for sponsoring the Sheffield Bucks give-a-ways.

People can get involved in Celebrate Sheffield by offering ideas for next year’s event. They should contact Cernovich at her store on Main Street.

“We are always looking for ways to make the event bigger and better,” Cer-novich said.

“The event is impor-tant to Sheffield because it brings the entire com-munity together,” Cer-novich said. “It’s not just about businesses and Main Street. It’s about our com-munity as a whole.”

Additional details about the event can be found at local businesses or on the Celebrate Sheffield and the village of Sheffield Facebook pages.

eton Chamber office in the Prouty Building or call Lion Don Smith at 815-875-3475 or Lion Jim Argo at 815-872-6181.

Now is the time to get prepared

By donnA BArker [email protected]

PRINCETON — It’s time to take the lawn chairs and picnic baskets out of car trunks and replace them with ice scrapers, shov-els and other winter pre-paredness gear, according to Kris Donarski, coordina-tor of the Bureau County Emergency Services Disas-ter Agency (ESDA)

Donarski said it’s impor-tant for people to plan ahead and be prepared for winter driving and winter outdoor activities.

“The best time to pre-pare for bad weather is now, before it happens,” Donarski said.

With that preparation goal in mind, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) have joined forces to promote the month of November as Winter Pre-paredness Month in Illi-nois. The agencies are encouraging Illinois resi-dents to get prepared for the extreme cold, snow and ice of winter, before those days actually get here.

There’s no getting around the fact that cold winter weather is coming, IEMA Director Jonathon Monken said.

“In Illinois, it’s a ques-tion of when snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures will hit, not if they will occur,” Monken said. “Getting caught unprepared may not be just inconvenient, it could be dangerous. Now’s the time to take a few minutes to put togeth-er your home and vehicle emergency supply kits and review the steps you should take to stay safe during hazardous winter weather.”

Donarski agreed, say-ing people don’t plan on getting stranded or being in an accident due to icy roads, but those things can happen. Even in short trips to the store, there could be accidents or car problems, she said.

There is also the fac-tor that each year there will be new drivers who are experiencing winter roads for the first time, as well as travelers driv-ing through the area who may not be familiar with the area roads or condi-tions, Donarski said. Even experienced drivers need to refresh themselves on good winter driving habits,

she said.Her recommendation is

that when it’s time to turn back the clocks each fall, it’s also time to prepare for winter by getting a winter emergency supply kit pre-pared for the home and vehicle, Donarski said.

People need to remem-ber that not all winter weather accidents, inju-ries and even fatalities are vehicle-related, National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Chris Miller said.

According to the NWS, there were eight deaths, nationwide, related to extreme cold tempera-tures in the 2012 calendar year. All of the 2012 cold-related fatalities occurred outdoors, including three deaths in Illinois, Miller said. Since 1995, 134 fatal-ities related to cold tem-peratures have occurred in Illinois, making it the second-leading cause of weather-related deaths in Illinois in the past 18 years.

Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, also warned Illi-nois residents to take the necessary precautions to safeguard themselves, and their health, against the coming winter weather.

“There are several dangerous health con-ditions that can occur in winter weather,” Hasbrouck said. “It’s important to watch for signs of being too cold or over-exertion. Hypother-mia, when a person’s body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, can occur both outdoors and indoors and can be fatal. “

Continuing, Hasbrouck said frostbite, when skin becomes stiff and numb, can cause tissue damage. People should also watch for signs of overexertion, such as chest pain, when shoveling snow.

“You should know the warning signs of danger-ous cold weather health conditions in order to stay safe and healthy during the winter,” Hasbrouck said.

To help Illinois residents prepare for winter, the IEMA. the NWS and the American Red Cross have developed a winter weath-er preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school. The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925.

GRANVILLE — Pastor Eldon Cook has taken on an interesting challenge for this year’s holiday season. Cook decided he wanted something differ-ent for the nativity scene at his church, the Wal-nut Community Bible Church.

Pastor Cook: Meet Karmel the camel.

“When I got to Walnut, I always wanted to do a live nativity,” Cook said. “I had a vision of what I wanted, and I’ve slowly been getting around to that point over the last four or five years. I’ve used my horses in the wise men scene, but I always wanted a camel.”

Karmel has been a fix-ture at Boggio’s Orchard for nearly three years.

“He’ll be 3 years old in January, and I got him when he was 6 weeks old,” Denise Boggio said. “He’s originally from Texas; a broker got him

for me, and I met the broker in St. Louis. I bottle-fed him for about three months.”

“My son-in-law Brian Gonet told me about this camel; how he was kind of rambunctious, and I stopped by last week, just to see what he looked like,” Cook said. “After talking to Denise and asking about renting him out, she explained the circumstances and how he hadn’t been broke. I was actually thinking about offering to train the camel, thinking there was no way she’d say yes. She told me if

I wanted to try it to go right ahead.”

Cook started work-ing with Karmel on Oct. 28, and so far he’s pret-ty pleased with how it’s working, despite the fact that he has never trained a camel before.

“As far as I’m con-cerned, after training horses, he’s come pretty far,” Cook said. “I don’t know if I’ll get the job done, but I feel encour-aged by it. He’s friendly; almost overly friendly sometimes. He always comes back for more, and that’s a great thing.

“As far as challenges,

he’s got a long ways to go. I want to teach him how to lie down, then I have to get him out of this enclosure which he hasn’t been out of for a long time,” Cook said. “I think the hardest part is going to be getting him into the trailer.”

The nativity at the church is scheduled for Dec. 20-22, and though he’s hoping Karmel will be ready, Cook said he won’t be too disappointed if he isn’t.

“It’s all in trying. I wouldn’t be able to go on not knowing if I could do it,” Cook said.

Settlement money to help repay bonds early

By Matt MencariniShaw Media Service

DIXON – The city will save nearly $4 million under an agreement with Midland States Bank, which has agreed to allow an early payoff of three bonds, Finance Director Paula Meyer said Wednesday.

The bonds were issued in 2008, 2010 and 2011 and, under the bond arrangements, couldn’t be paid off any sooner than 2018, 2020 and 2021, respectively, Meyer said. But after Meyer and Commission-er Dave Blackburn met a few weeks ago with bank officials, the bank agreed to let the city pay off the bonds now, sav-ing about $3.87 million in interest.

The bank had no obli-gation to allow the early payment, Meyer said, but the city approached the bank because offi-cials believed taxpayers deserved to have the city try.

The city will pay off the bonds with funds received in a lawsuit settlement in the matter of former Comptroller Rita Crundwell, Meyer said. Crundwell is serv-ing a term of nearly 20 years in federal prison for stealing more than $53 million from the city over two decades.

The balance on the bonds at the end of Octo-ber was $12,316,000, Meyer said, adding the

total repayment would have been $16,184,610.

Meyer and Blackburn didn’t expect the bank to agree to an early pay-off but were hoping for a chance to negotiate, Meyer said.

Paying off that exter-nal debt was a “must,” Meyer had said when talking about use of $40 million the city will receive from the settle-ment. On Monday, the Dixon City Council approved the allocation of $8,678,083 – of the $14 million the city has received so far – to pay interfund loans, which is money it had borrowed from its own operating funds.

The city should receive the remainder of the $40 million by Thanksgiving and have proceeds from the sale of Crundwell’s property by the end of the year, Meyer said Monday.

If Midland hadn’t agreed to the early pay-off, Meyer said, she had another plan to save the city some money.

Meyer had planned to put about $14.5 million from the settlement in U.S. Treasury bonds, an investment she expect-ed would have yielded more than $1.6 million.

The agreement with Midland States Bank will allow the city to save more than twice what Meyer had hoped to real-ize from the investment.


Dr. Gary EckbErG would like to thank his patients, staff, and the community of Wyanet for their many kindnesses and loyalty for the last 45 years as he retires from the Smile Shop.

Jeffery receives prison sentencePRINCETON — Bo W. Jeffery, 19, of Wyanet has

received a prison sentence after pleading guilty to four felonies on Nov. 1.

Jeffery was sentenced by Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei to two years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the Class 3 felony of theft, with credit given for county jail time served from May 21 to July 9. He was also ordered to pay $750 in fines, fees and costs and $505 in restitution from his bond. Jeffery was also sentenced on the three Class 2 felonies of possession of a stolen vehicle to four years on each count, with those terms to be served con-secutively and also consecutive with the Class 3 felony sentence. For the Class 2 felony conviction, he was also ordered to pay fines, fees and costs totaling $2,457 within six months of his release from the Illinois Department of Corrections. Jeffery was given credit for county jail time from July 13 to July 29.

The court did find Jeffery meets eligibility requirements

and is approved for placement in the Impact Incarcera-tion Program for both felony cases. The Impact Incar-ceration Program is a boot camp-style program intended for non-violent offenders. If the defendant successfully completes the program, his prison sentence is considered served. If the defendant does not complete the program, he serves his prison sentence as ordered.

On May 17, Jeffery committed felony theft when he exerted unauthorized control of $505 from a family member at a time when Jeffery was invited as a guest into the family member’s residence. On April 27, Jeffery pos-sessed a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu knowing it to have been stolen. On May 13, he possessed a 2013 Mazda 6 knowing it to have been stolen. On May 18, he possessed a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier knowing it to have been stolen. The Bureau County Sheriff’s Department investigated both cases in which Jeffery was a suspect. Jeffery admitted to the theft of money and to the theft of the motor vehicles.

Cisneros sentenced to two years in prison

PRINCETON — Esau O. Cisneros, 34, of DePue has been sen-tenced to two years in the Illinois Depart-ment of Corrections after pleading guilty to the Class 3 felony of identity theft on Nov. 6 before Associate Cir-cuit Judge C.J. Holler-ich.

Cisneros was credit-ed with time served in the Bureau County Jail, from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5, and was ordered to pay fines, fees and costs totaling $580 within six months of his release.

On July 11, 2011, a Bureau County Sheriff’s investigator received information from the Springdale, Ark., Police Department that a

Springdale resident was the victim of iden-tity theft after the resi-dent was notified by the Internal Revenue Service he owed taxes on wages earned at Monterey Mushroom in Princeton. The inves-tigator discovered that Cisneros used the iden-tification documents of the Arkansas resident to gain employment at Monterey Mushroom. Cisneros admitted to using the name and Social Security number of the Arkansas man for employment pur-poses.

Cisneros also has misdemeanor convic-tions for unlicensed driving in 2011 and 2012.

Comfortable, relaxingenvironment where you

can enjoy a gaming experience rather

than a noisy, crowded bar scene.

The morning of the interview, I spent a half hour or so developing some questions for this World War II vet. With my interviewing skills a bit rusty, I wanted to have some questions jotted down, so I could spend my interview time really getting a feel for what this veteran was saying and feeling.

Sounds crazy — I mean I’ve done thou-sands of interviews in my career, but I was a little bit nervous as I waited for him to answer my knock on his door. Slowly, the door opened, and he greeted me with a broad yet seemingly shy smile. As we shook hands, I looked into his eyes, and I could tell he was a bit nervous, too. After he invited me inside, the two of us sat down in his kitchen, where he had some World War II memorabilia spread out on the table — a few photos, some medals, a couple of papers he wanted me to see.

Before jumping into an interview, I like to chat a bit with the subject of the story. It’s just small talk, but it usually helps to relax the person I’m interviewing as well as myself. I was hoping to learn a little about the man, so I could better write the story about the vet-eran. Weather, crops, the upcoming winter, his family — kids, grandchildren, his dog that was doing circles around my feet — 10 minutes of small talk usually cre-ates a better interview, a better story.

“So, where do we start?” I asked the 87-year-old man as I finally began my interview. “There’s a lot I’d like to know, but maybe the first question should be this: ‘What is the most memorable moment you have of World War II?’”

Personally, I thought it was a fairly innocent ques-tion, but I was wrong. The man’s eyes darted up from the table. As those aged eyes of his met mine, I saw his expression change. Like a bullet penetrating someone’s soul, his eyes stared not at me but through me. Quickly he averted his eyes and looked off into the distance.

A good reporter will know when to speak and when to let the silence prevail. I sat quietly, but what I saw next was bigger than any story I could ever write.

With his eyes still staring off into the distance, I realized he was seeing something I’d never under-stand — something that happened long ago, yet something that probably happened in his memory all the time. Without uttering a sound, the corners of this proud veteran’s mouth became taut, and I saw his chin begin to tremble ever so slightly. Those piercing eyes of a few moments earlier had filled with tears, and a single tear rolled down his cheek and dropped onto the plastic tablecloth.

A lump immediately formed in my own throat, and the tears in my own eyes quickly matched his.

“I’m sorry,” I said, for lack of anything more pro-found.

He shook his head and held up his hand as if to dis-miss my apology.

“No. I’m sorry,” he said. “I thought I could do this. I thought I could talk about it, but I don’t think I can. I guess you ain’t gonna get much of a story from me.” He looked down at the items on the table, seeming to know his journey through World War II would remain a private one. “I guess I owe you an apology,” he said.

“Sir, you don’t owe me anything,” I said with tears still brimming in my own eyes. “You’ve said more to me this afternoon without saying a word. If anybody owes anybody anything, it is myself and others in this country who owe you a world of gratitude for your service and how that service has impacted your life.”

Veterans. We have no idea what lives in the hearts and memories of those who have so valiantly served this country. It’s time we do the honorable thing and offer our most heartfelt gratitude to our nation’s vet-erans.

High school + free time = hanging out with friends

I’ve always been a pretty social person, and I enjoy hanging out with my friends. I’ve always had a lot of friends at school. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but they are always pretty fun!

I’ve recently been spending more time with my neighbor and her friend, and hanging out with them. We usually play a game like 5-Second-Rule, and maybe turn on a movie and eat some snacks. Trust me, the games get a little radical when they get going! But I feel like once you get into high school (I’m a freshman now), I have a lot more free time in school, and you start to feel the pressures of maturity — like being able to go to other people’s houses longer or stay out later. It gets even weirder when your brother gets to drive! But I’m going to compare the past of me hanging out to now!

In third grade, I had these things called “Family Fun Nights.” I invited all my friends over, and I arranged games for us to play. And sometimes I had my mom judge them, and the winner got a prize

from somewhere like Dollar Tree. I one time had a dancing contest, and I just completely went ran-dom! I won my own prize! But other times my mom made lots of snacks, and we ate them all and drew on the sidewalk! I used to even pretend our backyard was a mall with a friend of mine! We put stones in the ground and made a little sidewalk and everything! It was quite legit. Then we made our little stand and sold candy to our friends. Then I had lemonade stands with my brother and other neighbor. We made the best lem-onade ever! We have a secret rec-ipe! One time during the Hatzer Nordstrom sale in Annawan, we made $20 from our little joint on Pritchard Street. But a lot of my friends still know that we make the best lemonade of the best. That wraps up a good chunk of

hanging out when I was younger.More recently I started to hang

out at my neighbor’s house or she and her friend come to my club-house! We watched “Monster’s, Inc.” last week, and she cried, I still think that was a bit pathetic ... But anyway, we always eat a lot. And I mean a lot. Just give us a bag of barbecue Lay’s chips and two minutes ... it’s gone!

One time she stole my phone and dumped the pitcher of water we had on me! We even had a shaving cream fight one time! Still, to this day, I didn’t really see a point to it, but we just sprayed each other with shaving cream. Did you know it burns when it’s on your face for a long time. I could go on and one, but this is how I’ve been hanging out recent-ly ... now that I’m in high school and all.

Hanging out with friends is fun to me! It’s nice to just chill out and go crazy! Everyone needs to once in a while!

All-conference time — Area volleyball players have received all-conference recognition. See page 11.

Former volleyball player finds new love in tennis

“I decided to try something new and I’m glad I did. It was a total game changer.” • Jen O’Neil

By Kevin [email protected]

PRINCETON — Jen O’Neil was a volleyball player coming through the junior high ranks. The only thing she did with tennis balls was hit them in her front yard with a baseball bat when she was little.

Then she picked up a tennis racket for the first time and never put it down.

She played three years on the varsity squad at Princeton, quali-fying twice for the IHSA State Tournament. She now caps her career as the 2013 BCR Tennis Player of the Year.

“I decided to try something new and coach (Beth) Peacock was a big part in bringing me into

tennis,” she said. “I tried it the first day and absolutely loved it. I decided I was going to make that a part of my high school career, and I’m glad I did. It was a total game-changer.”

PHS head coach Connie Lind said O’Neil improved her level of play over the course of the last three years of varsity by taking lessons in the offseason and play-ing a high level of USTA tennis out

of the Quad Cities.“After her sophomore season,

she knew what she wanted out of tennis and accomplished it,” Lind said. “Jen is a true leader on our team. While playing a match she very seldom made the same mis-take twice she was always think-ing. When you see her play tennis, you can tell she loves the sport and is good at it.

“I’ve enjoyed getting to know Jen as a tennis player but also as a young lady.”

O’Neil posted a 19-4 record at No. 1 singles over the regular season and finished 22-7 overall. She won the Coal City Quad and LaSalle-Peru Invitational and took second at the Sterling Newman

(H)all in the familyHall coaches know what it’s like

to play Red Devil footballBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — When the Hall football players want to know what Red Devil football means, they have no farther to look than the coaching staff.

Five members of the 2013 coaching staff once suited up for the Red Devils, including second-year head coach Randy Tieman (1980). He has surrounded himself by a host of former Red Dev-ils, most of whom he’s coached along the way in youth football and base-ball.

Mike Filippini (1990), the sophomore head coach and offensive coor-dinator, took part in the very first playoff team at Hall as a sophomore in 1987 as well as trips in ‘88 and ‘89. He returned to Hall to serve on staff under former head coach Gary Vicini just in time for the 2001 state cham-

pionship runs.It is that connection to

home that has made Filip-pini to turn down other coaching opportunities.

“I have a lot of pride in the fact that I was on the team that started this tradition of winning and like to think I’m still help-ing carry on by coaching and teaching here now,” said Filippini, who is also the head boys basketball coach. “I think it’s great to see the town get excit-ed about Hall and not hear all the negative stuff you usually hear.”

L-P cuts down Sycamore 2012-13 BV girls basketball previewStorm stands tall with rebuilding


PRINCETON — LaSal-le-Peru had a sweet vol-leyball team. Now the Lady Cavs are among the elite in Class 3A.

The Lady Cavaliers toppled Sycamore 25-18, 25-20 to claim the Princ-eton 3A Sectional cham-pionship at Prouty Gym.

It is L-P’s first section-al championship since 2000. Now in the Elite Eight of Class 3A, the Lady Cavs (33-3) advance to the Washington Super-sectional to face Cham-paign Centennial (31-8) at 7 p.m. Saturday.

While Sycamore (19-

The last two years have been rebuilding years for the program, winning two games in as many years, but coach Tiffany Gonigam wants her team to believe things can turn around.

“We have not been able to be competitive the past two seasons, but this team has the ability to compete and win games,” Goni-

All-Conference volleyball

Area players earnall-conference

recognitionBy BCR SpoRtS Staff

[email protected]

Postseason volleyball hon-ors have been handed out for Three Rivers Athletic Confer-ence with many area play-ers receiving all-conference awards.

League champ Princeton heads up the South Division with three first-team selec-tions — seniors Michelle Kelly, Ashley Farraher and Becca Hult. They are joined by St. Bede senior Morgan King and Madi Schulenberg and Katie Conway of Orion and Riley Strandgard and Chelsey Crip-pen of Sherrard.

Schulenberg was named as the Player of the Year in the South.

The second team includes sophomores Hailey Schultz of Princeton and Brooke Keegan of Hall and seniors Morgan Bosnich and Olivia Mueller of St. Bede, Ali Gustafson and Gabby Kubiak of Kewanee and Callie Gosney of Rockridge.

Honorable mention honors went to Princeton’s Alicia Poss and Mollie Bates and Hall’s Vanessa Olivares.

In the North Divison, Bureau Valley junior Sydney Lebahn

landed on the first team along with Payton Mink of River-dale, Karlie Stafford of Proph-etstown, Courtney Cobert, Mary Chapman and Savannah Mettler of league champ Erie, Betsy Leonard and Chelsea Lesniewski of Fulton.

The Storm also placed Lindsey Hoffert on the sec-ond team while Val Reuter received honorable mention.

Mink was named as the Play-er of the Year in the South.

The Little Ten: LaMoille/Ohio senior outside hitter and junior libero Ragen Forbes was named to the Little Ten All-Conference team. The list includes 12 players, includ-ing unanimous picks Kristina Nichols and Melane Kala of league champ Newark, Emma Goodrich of Indian Creek, Jordna Buell of Somonauk and Lauren Paver of HBR.

Junior college: Illinois Val-ley Community College soph-omore Kayla MacDavitt, a St. Bede alum, has been named to the Arrowhead All-Conference volleyball team. ... Bureau Valley alum Taylor Hewitt, a sophomore at Lincoln College, received Midwest Athletic Conference honorable men-tion.

front row, she was on fire,” Sycamore coach Eric Nore said. “We had no answer for her, there was no doubt about it. That’s a credit to not only great players, but great coaches and great focus and discipline.”

“They had a really strong offense. They’re a good team; they’re pretty tall,” Sycamore senior libero Christina Dailey said. “They were a really solid team.”

Sycamore bows out at 19-21 ending its surprising postsea-son run

“We had a good season with a great run at the end,” Nore said. “I know teams that have losing records aren’t supposed to make it this far. Never had that opinion of my team.

“We knew what we had,

knew what we had to do to be successful and I’m really proud of my girls, and the future that lies ahead of us.”

Notes: L-P seeks its first state finals appearance since 1990 when it finished fourth in Class AA in the former two class sys-tem. That same year, Princeton won the Class A championship and Mendota also reached the Elite eight. … Mendota offi-cial Patti Blumhurst was in the lead chair for Thursday’s championship game. … One L-P student slicked his hair back and added some gray as a tribute to longtime L-P coach Mark Haberkorn. They posed for a picture during the post game celebration. ... Centen-nial won its fourth sectional in six years, posting its seventh straight 30-win season.

BV hosting some super volleyball

By BCR SpoRtS [email protected]

Princeton had its share of 3A sectional volleyball. Bureau Valley will get its share of super volley-ball in Class 2A.

Bureau Valley will play host to a 2A Super-Sectional at 6:30 p.m. Saturday when Fieldcrest takes on Fulton at the Storm Cellar.

Fieldcrest (32-4-1) defeated Watseka 25-18, 25-21 to claim its first sectional at El Paso Tuesday.

Fulton (14-17) may be the sur-prise of the postseason having toppled league rival and Three Rivers North co-champ Erie for the regional championship. Their latest victim was Abingdon-Avon, whom the Lady Steamers dis-posed of 25-19, 25-13 to capture the Farmington Sectional.

Invitational.The No. 1 seed at sectional, O’Neil settled

for a runner-up finish to Ottawa’s Molly Angell. Angell won their sectional title showdown 6-0, 6-1.

O’Neil became the first Princeton girl to qual-ify for state in consecutive years since Evinne Dimmig 2008 and 2009. She dropped both matches at state this year, though she played Dunlap’s Grace Park to three sets in second-round play, falling 6-2, 5-7, 4-6.

“I’ll definitely always remember it. It was a good high school accomplishment, and I’m glad to have got the experience,” she said. “I’ll never forget qualifying for state both years and all the people that helped me accomplish my goals, like

my family and my coaches.”O’Neil said she is really going to miss playing

high school tennis because it was like family. She would like to play in college if the opportu-nity arises as she pursues a degree in elemen-tary education.


Runner-up for Player of the Year

Rachel Dose placed fourth at sectional to become the first St. Bede player to qualify for state in a decade. She came in as the No. 3 seed at sectional and won the first two matches to qualify.

-gam said. “My goal for them is to believe that and play with con-fidence. We should be competitive in the games we play and never lose sight of our potential.”

With four starters returning from last year’s team, the Storm has a reason to be opti-mistic.

Seniors Lacey DeVen-ney and Nicole Born-sheuer bring three years of varsity experience to the team and will be looked upon as leaders. DeVenney is an out-side shooting threat and Bornsheuer, who aver-aged 7.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last season, will start at cen-ter.

Junior forwards Heav-en Bennett (all-confer-ence honorable men-tion) and Irini Petros (5.7 rpg) also return to the starting five.

Darcy Kepner will be called up from the soph-omore ranks to fill the point guard role. She is coming off a successful season at the freshmen and sophomore ranks and dressed for the var-sity team at the end of last season.

“She has shown our coaching staff and the team that she is both capable and ready to play at (the varsity) level,” Gonigam said. “We are excited to see the dynamics she brings to our team.”

Gonigam likes the depth of her team, not-ing foreign exchange student Helena Arna-dottir being a wel-come addition along with returning senior guards Christy Williams and Shannon Reuter. Rounding out the ros-ter are juniors Valerie Reuter (F), Carlie Bick-ett (C), Taylor Zemke (C), Kelsey Kaiser (G) and Taylor Lally (G).

Bornsheuer, who stands around 6-2, along with a group of all junior post players, will give the Storm an advantage in the paint this year. Playing in the competi-tive Three-Rivers Con-ference, that will be important.

But the key for Goni-gam comes back to building confidence in themselves. The Storm will get their first taste of regular season action starting Nov. 18 at the Princeton Holiday Tour-nament.

“As a team we need

to work hard and play with one common goal,” Gonigam said. “We need to be confident about our ability to make improvements to the program and work hard to achieve the improve-ments we know we are capable of.”

Nick Hanck (2000), the sophomore defensive coordinator, played on Hall’s 1998 semifinal team. Also, the head girls track coach, he said football was one of the sports he wanted to coach when he went into education and having his first job offer from his alma mater was a bonus.

“It was an honor to coach with and learn from Coach Vicini and my other coaches that I had in high school. I believe the goal has stayed the same since I played and that is to continue to pass down the Red Devil Football tradition,” Hanck said.

Defensive coordinator Adam Meyer (2001) was a year behind Hanck at Hall and played on the 2000 playoff team.

Ryan Ferrari (2002) works with the Hall defensive backs and receivers, the same positions he played with for the 2001 state champions.

Throw in athletic director Eric Bryant Jr. (1997), running back for ‘95 state champs and ‘96 runners-up, and stat man Justin Boroski (2003) and it’s all about family at Hall. One that takes great pride in Red Devil football.

“We have a lot of the former Hall guys we really want to get the program back to where it was in the ‘90s. They all have

stories they have shared with the kids of when they were in the playoffs, and I think the kids enjoy hearing that stuff,” Tieman said.

Having a pedigree from Hall’s great playoff run from the late ‘80s to early 2000s helps Gieman.

“Coach Filipinni was on the very first playoff team, coach Meyer and coach Hanck were on playoff teams and coach Ferrari was on a state championship team. It is great to have these guys that know what it takes to get to the playoffs and win. They put in a lot of time not only at practice but in the offseason with sum-mer camps and weightlifting.

“My whole staff does a great job and we would not be in the position we are in without any one of them,” Tieman said.

Cross country notebookBaldonado running for All-State honors


Hall coach Tom Keegan said he hasn’t talked to junior runner Al Baldonado about placement when he makes his debut in the IHSA 1A State Cross Coun-try Saturday in Peoria. But there’s one spot both would like to see him end up — the top 25.

Baldonado will shoot for the coveted top 25 place-ment which would reward him with All-State honors. He will be the lone quali-fier from Bureau County in Peoria Saturday.

“Right now he just wants to keep his mind clear and

continue to do what he has done all year,” Keegan

said. “You try to do all the comparing from sectional to sectional but there are variables that go into it. I think going to state in track last spring will help set-tle any nerves that he may have just because experience in settings

like those are a plus.“Neither he, nor I, are

huge prognosticators, and Al knows it will come down to how he performs Saturday morning. His overall body of work this year should give him a great deal of confidence.”

Baldonado qualified for state by placing fifth in the Oregon Sectional with a time of 16:12. He missed

out for state a year ago by one spot at sectional.

The week before, Bal-donado was the regional champion at Seneca.

Amboy freshmen Megan Grady became the first girl to qualify for state by placing sixth (19:33) at the Oregon Sectional.

Notes: The last time Bureau County produced just one state qualifier was 1997 with Bureau Valley’s Jonathan Eckberg.

This year also marks the first time since 1997 that Bureau Valley did not pro-duce a state qualifier. It is the first time for BV coach Dale Donner since he took over the Storm program from Don Guier.

Four Carus Corpo-ration employees are among the region’s 40 Under Forty; 40 top entrepreneurs under the age of 40 who are making an impact in their field.

The Illinois Small Busi-ness Development Cen-ter (SBDC) at Illinois Val-ley Community College (IVCC) recently honored Carus’ Chris Backos, Deb Bibula, Kevin Don-nell and Kelly Frasco at a reception held in LaSalle for the 40 under Forty Class of 2013.

The area’s inaugural 40 Under Forty class was named in 2011 in an effort to recognize, and create a growing network of promising young tal-ent.

“We are extremely for-tunate at Carus to have found such dynamic, talented individuals as Chris, Deb, Kelly and Kevin. They represent the kind of young lead-ership that will drive our company’s future success,” said Carus Corporation President/CEO Inga Carus. “We congratulate them, and thank them for choosing to be a part of the Carus Corporation family.”

“Employing four mem-bers of this year’s 40 under Forty shows that Carus is dedicated to professionals within the company, and dedicated

also to cultivating and advancing their careers within the region,” said SBDC Director Beverly Malooley.

Chris Backos, Carus’ corporate manager health, safety and secu-rity, joined Carus in 2006 as a safety profes-sional. He was promoted to his current position in 2010.

Deb Bibula, account-ing manager, began her Carus career in 2007. Since then she has held the titles of accounting supervisor, cash man-agement supervisor,

and accounts receivable coordinator/credit ana-lyst.

Kevin Donnell, pilot plant unit manager, came to work for Carus as a temporary employee in 1999. After signing on as a full-time employee, Kevin began a rapid suc-cession of promotions. He has held 11 Carus Corporation job titles so far.

Kelly Frasco, glob-al market manager for Carus Remediation Technologies, began as a quality technician for Carus in 1997. She was

eventually promoted to the position of chemist, later filling the roles of technical sales manager and director of sales.

Carus Corporation, founded in LaSalle in 1915, is an environ-mental company that produces and supplies products, equipment and services for water treat-ment, remediation and air purification. Carus Corporation is a member of the American Chemis-try Council and partici-pates in the industry’s Responsible Care® ini-tiative.

Ag summary

Tractor pull supports Black Hawk students

Applebee’s in Peru remodeled

Four of the 40 Under Forty

Widespread rains slowed corn and soybean harvest across the state last week. Statewide precipitation averaged 2.07 inches, 1.26 inches above normal.

Temperatures averaged 48.7 degrees, 2.1 degrees below normal.

There were 4.2 days suitable for field work.

With the rain, topsoil moisture improved dra-matically and was rated at 7 percent very short, 23 percent short, 67 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture also improved and was rated at 11 percent very short, 40 percent short, 48 percent adequate and 1 percent surplus.

Corn harvest has reached 83 percent com-plete, compared to 97

percent last year and the five-year average of 76 percent.

Ninety-two percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, compared to 95 percent last year and the five-year average of 85 percent.

Ninety-five percent of the wheat crop have been planted, and 75 per-cent has emerged, both of which are ahead of last year and the five-year average. The winter wheat crop was rated at 2 per-cent poor, 31 percent fair, 65 percent good and 2 per-cent excellent.

Pasture conditions were rated at 6 percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 33 percent fair, 39 percent good and 4 per-cent excellent.

GALVA — For the 12th year, the Galva/Tri-County Garden Tractor Pullers Club hosted their fall indoor pull at Black Hawk Col-lege. Garden tractors from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mis-souri and Wisconsin converged on the col-lege’s East Campus for the event.

Classes included stock garden tractors up to 25 horsepower and alcohol garden tractors up to 100 horsepower. More than 150 hooks took place during the day.

“This is a great event for the pullers, commu-nity and students of the Black Hawk College ag/auto mech program,” said Chris Craig, trea-surer of the Galva/Tri-County Pullers Club.

BHC agriculture/auto-motive mechanics stu-dents reap the benefits of a successful pull as the Galva/Tri-County Garden Tractor Pullers Club uses profits from the event to give scholar-ships to the students that can be used for tuition, books and/or tools. Last year, three $400 scholar-ships were awarded.

PERU — Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar at 1507 36th St. in Peru has been recently remod-eled with the official re-opening set for 11 a.m. Nov. 19.

On the menu: A remod-eled interior with warmer color tones, contemporary design; features specific to the neighborhood the restaurant serves; service improvements; and new food and drink selections.

The Peru Applebee’s is owned and operated by RMH Franchise Corpora-tion, based out of Lincoln, Neb.

“Applebee’s is breathing new life into our restau-rants, giving them stronger connections to their indi-vidual neighborhoods and providing our guests with renewed experiences,” said Katie Pino, director of operations for the Peru area.

The most noticeable changes at the revitalized Peru restaurant include the over-sized, contemporary awnings that highlight the façade. Inside, Applebee’s removed the pop-culture artifacts and added local photos and murals. Wall images also depict area school sports teams, and

local community groups and organizations.

As part of the remodel process, before bringing in the new artwork, Apple-bee’s was able to auction off the older décor and memorabilia. The location

will announce the amount raised and to be donated to the Make-A-Wish Founda-tion of Illinois at its ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 19.

“We are very excited about the new remodel

and proud to be part of the Peru community. We hope that our remodel reflects our commitment to keep-ing the community fun and new,” said Pino. “We invite everyone to come in and see what’s new.”

‘Gave their all for a cause they believed in ...’

Editor’s note: In 2005, Rod-ger Schwind of Walnut deliv-ered the following speech at the Walnut memorial to honor Veterans Day. Even though that event was eight years ago, the message is still valid for today. Enjoy!

Veterans Day is about remembering; it’s about never forgetting that those who served this nation have bestowed upon each succeed-ing generation the priceless gift of freedom at great cost.

Today we stand before a memorial to those who served, fought and died to protect our great country, its heritage, its traditions, its values, and its cherished free-doms.

Look upon this memorial with respect and awe. On these stone tablets are the names of our Walnut veterans ... These were the citizen sol-diers of our small town who were willing to stand in the gap when danger threatened to overcome their loved ones and what they held dear.

On the stone obelisk you will see some very special names, the names of those who gave the ultimate sacri-fice to defend our country. No man has greater love than he who lays down his or her life for their fellow man … These were young men cut down in

the prime of their youth, who never had the opportunity to enjoy those things we often take for granted. Did they want to die? I’m sure not, but when they were called upon, they gave their all for a cause they believed in. Your free-dom …

As a teacher on this day I would often comment to my students, you have the privi-lege of living in freedom today because someone laid down their life for you.

These words come full cir-cle. I’ve had former students serve in the military, and they served with honor and distinction. A young man, an Air Force captain, who bombed Saddam Hussein’s palace during the war in Iraq, was in one of my classes.

You who are listening today, will you be called upon to serve? Perhaps, just as mil-lions of young Americans have been called upon in the past to preserve our freedom, to pro-tect our loved ones. Will you be willing to lay down your life for what you believe in?

Living in a perfect world with no wars would be won-derful. But throughout his-tory, it’s been proven there is no perfect world, and there always seems to be those with evil intent who enslave, mur-der and are aggressors toward

their neighbors and others. Someone always seems to have to stand up to evil and put a stop to it or be over taken by that evil with the loss of everything America stands for.

As we look at the world unrest today, the continu-ing violence throughout the Middle East, the tragic, sense-less massacres and human carnage elsewhere, we ask ourselves who will stop this madness? As before, it is we who stand in the breach.

We, indeed, have a new, tenacious enemy; for the want of a better name, it is called terrorism. It knows no national boundaries, it respects neither man, woman or child. It kills the innocent without remorse. It must be stopped.

Today we are engaged in far off countries toward stem-ming that scourge. Today our veterans of tomorrow are in a battle to protect you from that scourge.

Freedom is never free; there is and always will be a costly price to pay.

Thank a veteran for the freedoms you enjoy today.

May God bless you all and continue to bless this great country.

More than just a bunch of facesBy Terri Simon

[email protected]

It’s become quite a tradi-tion at the Bureau County Republican. Every fall, we begin preparing for this spe-cial section to honor our area veterans. It’s quite a pro-cess, since in just a few short months we handle hundreds of photographs accompa-nied by names, hometowns, branch of service and dates served.

One-by-one the photos are scanned, adjusted and put on the pages. I don’t mind

telling you the process can be painstakingly brutal, and one seldom has time to real-ly study the faces that look back at you. Most dressed in military uniforms — the men and women in the photos depict some who are very old; some who are very young; and many in between. As we work with the photographs, they initially are just photos of faces that need to find a home on the pages of this ever-popular section.

Finally the deadline for submitting a veteran’s photo arrives, and then the rest is

up to us. I don’t mind telling you the work on this section goes on for days. Clearly, it’s not an overnight process, rather a study in detail that evolves during the course of several weeks. At long last, the section is finished, and it is then — right before the pages are scheduled to head to the pressroom — when we finally have a moment to really study the faces that have been looking back at us for the past several weeks.

We slowly turn each page and study each face. We hope you will do the same. It

doesn’t take long for to real-ize the images on the pages each have a story — some stories have been told over and over again, while others will never ever be told.

The faces are full of so much. See what you think ... Faces filled with trepidation and fear. Others which are filled with pride and patrio-tism. We see youthful grins, old smirks and faces void of any expression at all.

And then there are the eyes ... Eyes that say everything, yet nothing. They are eyes that look back at you, hoping

we won’t forget their bravery, their heroics, their patriotic dreams to make a difference. You won’t see tears in these photos ... but they may gen-erate some of your own.

The Bureau County Repub-lican is proud to publish this “Salute to Veterans.” We hope you’ll study each face, read each name and applaud the local men and women who have given so much — sometimes who even paid the ultimate price. We salute you, our veterans, and we are proud to feature you on the pages of this newspaper.
