PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department says it’s not too soon to be thinking about mosqui-toes and West Nile Virus.

Kurt Kuchle, director of health protection for the two-county health depart-ment, said the health department has begun its surveillance program to detect possible West Nile Virus (WNV) activity in the local area. The surveil-lance program consists of

testing mosquitoes col-lected from traps and also submitting dead birds for testing at the state lab.

The mosquito traps are placed each year in the vicinity of public access/gathering areas in both Bureau and Putnam coun-ties. The health depart-

ment has four traps, with typically three of those traps placed in Bureau County and one trap in Putnam County.

Each county is allowed five birds for testing this year, Kuchle said. The state of Illinois has direct-ed local health depart-

ments that they may begin collecting birds. The pub-lic is encouraged to help locate birds that may have died from West Nile Virus.

According to the Illi-nois Department of Public Health, birds that can be submitted for WNV test-ing must have been dead

less than 12 hours and the carcass must not have obvious signs of trauma, such as being struck by a vehicle, window or animal attack. The carcass must not show any decay or have a strong odor. Birds

PRINCETON — For the past 156 Mondays in a row, Our Table has been serving up meals and developing friendships.

On Thursday, Our Table organizer Jim Miller said the community meal out-reach hasn’t ever cancelled or missed a Monday eve-ning since the program began in May 2011, even when Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fell on a Monday as it did this past year. Of course, the Memo-rial Day holiday always falls on a Monday, but those meals go on as planned, he said.

Our Table was started as an outreach of the First United Methodist Church in Princeton for people who may be facing tough financial times or who may simply be lonely and want-ing to eat a meal with oth-ers, Miller said. There is absolutely no cost and no suggested donations for the meal.

Miller described Our Table as a safe place to come, where people are served a great meal, feel welcomed and not judged, have a social time with others and hopefully see the love of Jesus in action. Typically, Our Table serves 140-175 people each week, he said.

Today, there are now 12 other churches, plus some civic groups, who have joined with the First United Methodist Church in providing Our Table

SPRING VALLEY – The cost to attend classes at Hall High School is on the rise. Superintendent Mike Struna made the recommendation that fees be increased for next school year. Fees were last increased three years ago.

The increases in fees are projected to bring an additional $30,000 to Hall. This is part of Struna’s deficit reduc-tion plan.

Registration fees will be increased from $110 to $130 and technology and book fees from $20 to $70 for a total registra-tion cost of $200. Sport fees are also increasing from $50-$75 per sport with an individual stu-dent limit of $150 or a total family limit of $300. Driver’s education is being raised from $75 to $125. Other increases include gym locks now costing $7, parking stick-ers $20, student lunches $3, and adult lunches $3.25.

Also at the Hall Board’s recent meeting, Struna introduced a new social probation policy. Stu-dents will be placed under social probation for accumulating three or more in-school sus-pensions in the same school year, for accumu-lating two or more out of school suspensions in the same school year, or by receiving one out of school suspension of more than five days.

Honoring all veterans on Memorial DayRay Larson of the Princ-eton American Legion holds the American flag as the Princeton Veter-ans Group gets ready to perform Memorial Day services at Oak-land Cemetery. Below, the Princeton Veterans Group fires a salute during the service. The group also held a ceremony at Elm Lawn Cemetery in Princeton as well as the cem-eteries in Dover and Malden, followed by a Princeton parade and service at Soldiers and Sailors Park. Nearly every town and village in Bureau County and beyond held Memorial Day services on Monday to honor all veterans from all branches of the service and every war and conflict. Taps could be heard echoing throughout the county, as military groups paid their respect.

Where to cross the street?

Electronic recycling event set for May 31

Time to create, time to write

Spring Valley and school on different sides of the street

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

SPRING VALLEY — The Safe Routes to School matter is still a lingering topic between the Spring Valley Elementary School Board and city of Spring Valley.

While the city wants to use a Safe Routes to School grant to place a traffic light and construct sidewalks at the intersec-tion of Dakota and Strong streets, the school board opposes this plan and has suggested other intersec-tions — like Dakota and Richards streets or Dako-ta and Taylor streets — which the board believes would be best for stu-dents crossing to and from school.

Another factor in the debate has been the traf-fic congestion at the inter-sections and how placing a traffic light would affect the traffic flow, especially with year when the Lin-coln Elementary School students attend JFK.

After discussions, let-ters and committee meetings between the two boards, a debate con-tinues over which inter-section would be best to plant this traffic light.

At last week’s meet-ing, Superintendent Jim Hermes reported the city was going to move on with the project with or without the school board’s approval.

Hermes suggested writ-ing a letter in response to the city, so there is something in writing that states the school board’s position on the matter.

Board member Tracy Morris asked if the school has considered asking for the opinion from parents of the students who walk to school.

“We’re coming at it from one direction, and the city is coming at it from another. I don’t think it’s impossible for

us to meet, but that is another stakeholder that we need to somehow get that information before we write our response,” she said.

Board member John Kusek agreed with the idea, but expressed con-cerned about the pub-lic and parents knowing the exact plans. He said people had approached him in the last couple weeks about the issue and brought up incor-rect information. He did mention that everyone he has spoken with about the issue has opposed placing the light at the Strong intersection.

Kusek again brought up the need for a traffic study to find out which would be the safest cross-ing for the students and cause the least amount of traffic congestion.

“(The city) is trying to push it together with a traffic plan for develop-ment and some state funding, and those two things don’t quite mesh,” he said.

Morris said she feels the city has a different interest than the school, and if an independent third party completed a traffic study and said the intersection at Strong would be the best for students, then she could stand behind the deci-sion 100 percent.

“But I just don’t feel like I’m getting that, and I can’t support some-thing that doesn’t have that independent opin-ion,” she said.

The board briefly dis-cussed paying to have their own traffic study completed, but eventu-ally came to the notion that if they completed a study, the city could complete a study, it might not conclude the issue.

Hermes has asked school board members to submit any opinions or comments they feel need to be printed in the letter, which he will send to the city.

LAMOILLE — The recent-ly published “Same Book, Different Stories” brings readers into the creative minds of 23 sophomore high school students at LaMoille High School.

“Same Book, Differ-ent Stories: Short Stories from the Class of 2016” is the culmination of a six-month long writing project assigned by teacher Barb Zimmerman for her English II students. What started out as a short story and auto-graphical poem assignment has turned into a nearly 300-page book.

The finished project is better than she could have imagined, Zimmerman said.

“The kids really stepped up and showed a creative side that they have been dying to show. This really is a proud moment for the kids and their families,” Zimmerman said. “As the rough drafts came through and I noticed how good the stories were becoming, I realized that they all should be published. This then not only became an assignment in creative writing, but also in editing.”

The LaMoille student authors were honored at a reception and book-signing Thursday at the school.

Though this is the first time the book project has been done at LaMoille, she hopes to do this every year from here on out, Zimmer-man said. Explaining the process, the class worked through the Instant Pub-lisher website, to which they uploaded the short stories in one large file. The students voted on the title and cover art. In about a month, the anthologies arrived.

Readers of “Same Book, Different Stories” will find a wide range of story lines and revelations as students described themselves in their poems and created their short stories, which ranged from medical mys-

teries, to fantasy horror, to sports and beyond, Zim-merman said.

Student Jordyn Pinter said she chose to write an irony because she likes the idea of making a joke out of some-thing, saying one thing and meaning it as something else. She also used foreshad-owing by starting her story with the female character in the hospital. The story then goes back to chronicle the past week in her life.

Emily Scully said she used a lot of dramatic irony, as well as foreshadowing, in writing her medical mys-tery, which begins with a husband walking up to his wife’s casket. The reader

knows more than the char-acter knows at the time. She didn’t realize her story would be a mystery until she started to write it, Scully said.

A longtime fan of fanta-sy horror, Cantrell said he based his short story on the “Games of Thrones” show. His story focuses around a wedding, which does not have a happy ending, he said.

To have their writings complied into a book has been an exciting adven-ture, the sophomores agreed.

“It’s been awesome,” Pinter said. “I went through a stage when I was younger when I wanted to become an author, so this has been cool for me to actually become one.”

Scully agreed, saying it’s a milestone that has been reached, while still in high school, and it will always be remembered.

Hopefully this new book is just one of several which will bear his name in the future, Cantrell said. His goal is to become an author, again with a focus on fantasy horror.

Thirty-five copies of the “Same Book, Different Sto-ries: Short Stories from the Class of 2016” have been published for the students, families and the school.

for the community, Miller said. There are also several businesses, including Bog-gio’s, Walmart Distribution Center, Sullivan’s Food and Hy-Vee, who have been very generous in their sup-port of Our Table, he said.

The problem of hunger is not a church problem, but rather a community prob-lem with which the church wants to help, Miller said. Since starting the Our Table outreach three years ago, several other area com-munities and groups have

started similar programs for their townspeople, he said.

However, more volun-teers are always needed and welcomed at Our Table, Miller said. Other church-es, groups and individuals are encouraged to join the community outreach and may contact the First Unit-ed Methodist Church for more information, he said.

Looking ahead to the next three years of Mondays ... and beyond, Miller said “Our Table will continue until there is no more hun-ger.”


Students who are under social probation will for-feit all privileges (early release, open campus lunch, homeroom exemp-tion) and attendance at all extracurricular activi-ties that are held during the 30-day probationary period (including home-coming, Sadie, prom).

Struna is also proposing an attendance incentive policy where juniors and seniors can be exempt from final exams during the second semester.

These two new policies in addition to the hand-book changes and code of conduct changes will be discussed, and action is expected during the June meeting.

Tony Orlandi also updated the board on the progress of the construc-tion of the new Hall High School. The concrete footing and foundation walls for the entire proj-

ect are roughly 85 to 90 percent complete.

Footings and founda-tion walls are being com-pleted at Buildings B, C and D with scheduled completion the first week of June.

The structural steel (col-umns, beams and metal decking) for Building A (three-story academic building) is ongoing and scheduled to be complete by the end of the month.

Orlandi provided infor-mation on Bid Package 3A for masonry, and the board approved the bid of Jimmy Z Masonry, not to exceed $2,664,940.

Bids for Package 3B (electrical, site utili-ties, food services) were opened on May 22. The board will hold a special meeting at the beginning of June to approve this bid package.

The board voted unani-mously to approve the 1 to 1 Technology Initiative Plan. Freshmen students will either bring their

personal iPads to school, purchase a Chromebook for a cost of $275 or rent to own a Chromebook for four annual payments of $75. Struna said, “The goal is for all freshmen to have a device for educa-tional purposes.”

In other business:• Students at Hall High

School will be given the opportunity to take dual credit classes through IVCC where students get high school credit as well as college credit. The board will discuss the policy further at the June board meeting.

• The board recognized Hildi Grivetti, Julie Eilers and Rhonda Beezely for their years of service in the Hall Booster Organi-zation.

The following actions were taken after closed session:

• Rehired for the 2014-15 school year Gina Puck, Lynn Ellis, Vicki Piontek and Deb Arreguin.

• Hired Brian Holman

as math teacher for the 2014-15 school year. He was also hired as head girls’ basketball coach and head girls’ softball coach.

• Hired Megan Uphoff as library aide.

• Hired SIP Team mem-bers Angie Carpenter, Adam Meyer, Teresa Col-mone, Ann Maller, Kathy Martin, Bob Peterlin, and Nick Hanck and; RTI Team members Ros Piga-ti, Brittney Berger, Joan-na McConville, Kayleen Haslam, Darcy Earley, Brandon Czubachowski and Joe Rue.

• Hired Kayleen Haslam as National Honor Society sponsor for the 2014-15 school year.

• Accepted with regret the retirement request from Karen Klopcic, effec-tive June 30, 2018.

The next meeting of the Hall High School Board is at 6 p.m. May 18 in the library.


dying from WNV are usu-ally found singly, scat-tered over a wide area. In contrast, birds that die from other causes, such as storm mortality, food poi-soning or toxicants, often die in groups or clusters.

As far as the extent of this year’s mosquito activ-ity, Kuchle said it can be expected that mosquito activity has been delayed with the cooler spring. However, once the weath-er warms up consistently, the mosquito popula-tion will recover quickly. The Culex mosquito and the West Nile Virus itself thrive in hot dry summers, he said.

However, if the area does have a cool wet sum-

mer, there may still be a lot of biting/nuisance/non-vector mosquitoes, but just a low incidence of West Nile Virus across Illinois, Kuchle said.

“At this point I don’t think anyone can predict with much certainty,” he said.

As far as funding for the WNV surveillance pro-gram, Bureau/Putnam County Health Depart-ment Administrator Diana Rawlings said the local health department no lon-ger receives a WNV grant, but does receive a Vector control grant which cov-ers WNV surveillance and education as well as sur-veillance, testing and edu-cation for other vectors such as bats and ticks.

Clarification/correctionIn Thursday’s BCR, the

story, “BV’s finances look-ing up,” it was reported deep cuts were made to the district’s budget last year including reducing the special education pro-gram and getting rid of the industrial arts and home

economic classes. Super-intendent Dennis Thomp-son clarified the special education program as a whole was not reduced, but rather a teacher was reduced from the pro-gram. Also the industrial arts and home economic

classes were reduced to part-time teachers, rather than being cut completely. Also in Kristina Church’s presentation to the school board, she recited policy codes from the Illinois Association of School Boards, not Bureau Val-

ley’s policy codes. There-fore, the administration did not break their own policy, but rather went against what is written in the Illinois Association of School Board’s poli-cy handbook. The BCR regrets the error.

Paying tribute on Memorial DayMembers of the Harold E. Russell Post 938 Ameri-can Legion of Ladd hosted Memorial Day Services in Seatonville early Monday morning. The group then went on to conduct ser-vices in Arlington, Cherry, Dalzell, LaMoille and Ladd. Nearly every village and town in Bureau County hosted Memorial Day ser-vices on Monday.


Take precautionsAs in previous years, the Bureau/Putnam County

Health Department urges area residents to follow some simple guidelines to protect themselves and their families from mosquito bites and possible WNV infection.

• REDUCE exposure - avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Eliminate sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds, flowerpots, wading pools, old tires and any other receptacles.

• REPEL - when outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants.

• REPORT – report dead birds to the local health department. In communities where there are orga-nized mosquito control programs, contact the munici-pal government about areas of stagnant water in road-side ditches, flooded yards and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes.

BV 2A Baseball Regional finals: E/P 2, St. Bede 1

Panthers trip BruinsBy Dan [email protected]

MANLIUS — The Class 2A Bureau Valley Regional Championship was held Saturday morning in Manlius. It was as evenly matched as they come as the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers used a two-run fourth inning to scoot by the St. Bede Academy Bruins 2-1.

Repeating as regional champions, E-P goes to the Morrison Sectional.

“It was a game that I expected. I expected two good lefties, and I expected it to be a tight game of who made the least mistakes and execut-ed,” E-P coach Jason Orman said.

A pitchers duel was finally broken up in the fourth inning when the Bruins committed two costly errors. After the first error allowed first base-man Owen McConnell to reach safely, third baseman Kyle Coleman blasted a double to the fence in right center field.

McConnell came around to score on a single by right fielder Ethan How-ard, which deflected off pitcher Jarrett Olson’s glove to make the score 1-0.

The second error of the inning by the Bruins’ infield allowed Coleman to score the eventual game-winner from third base, giving the Panthers a 2-0 lead after four innings.

“Well we had some chances and didn’t come up with it. It really and truly came down to base running I felt. We gave them two runs in an inning where they had one ball out of the infield and we had two errors,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said.

With the Bruins threatening in the sixth inning, the Panthers defense stepped up with two huge plays to save runs.

After second baseman Jack Brady

and first baseman Ethan Duttlinger each drew walks, Olson stepped to the plate and blasted a double which one hopped the right field fence. Brady had to hold to see if the ball would drop and was gunned out by the per-fect relay from right fielder Howard to shortstop Jordan Chandler, who rifled one to catcher Grady Todad who applied the tag to Brady.

Howard would be instrumental in the next play that saved a run with an amazing two out diving catch in the right center field off of the Bruins’ designated hitter G.W. Leynaud.

“Ethan Howard is a senior and that’s one of those plays you need in a regional title game and he came up with it. You need at least one or two of those at some point in a post season run and he stepped up big,” Orman said.

“We booted the ball around a little bit there in that inning, and we never did recover from that and they didn’t do that,” John Bellino said.

The Bruins added one run during the inning on a ground out by third baseman Michael Bellino.

The Bruins threatened again in the seventh inning loading the bases before pitcher Ken Cole shut the door striking out the last batter he faced for the 2-1 regional championship victory.

Cole went a complete game, seven innings, striking out seven and allow-ing one earned run while Olson went six and a half innings while striking out nine and allowing one earned.

Olson was 2-2 with single, double and a walk for the Bruins.

The Panthers were led by Howard who was 1-3 with a single and an RBI.

I hope you had a great Memorial Day holiday. We should be so proud. Nearly every town and vil-lage in Bureau County held Memorial Day services. I think that’s a great testament to who we are. On behalf of the Bureau County Republican, thanks to everyone who helped honor our nation’s veterans. I’d also like to pay a special tribute to the young people who participated in Memorial Day services. I am very proud of you.

•••What about this warmer weather? I just about

started complaining last week about being hot, but then I remembered our winter. That shut me up very quickly.

You know summer is upon us, when the bugs return. If you know me, you also know I’m not a fan of bug or anything that skitters. I had a fairly violent argu-ment with a May Bug the other night on my backyard deck. (OK, I know we call them June Bugs, but my Aunt Myrna said you can’t call them June Bugs until it’s June. Until then, they have to be called May Bugs. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it sounds good to me.)

Anyway, this May Bug was relentless as he bounced off my brick home a bazillion times — no worse for wear. Seeking the light on my backyard deck, which by the way is right next to my sliding glass door, it was obvious he was attempting to keep me from re-entering my home. It was around 11 p.m., and if any of my neighbors were outside, I’m sure they wondered what the shrieking was all about, but this bug was dive-bombing me like something from a World War II movie. There’s more to the story, but you obviously get the idea. Wel-come to summer!

A lot of very happy graduates accepted their hard-earned diplomas this past weekend, and on behalf of the BCR, we applaud you and wish you the very best of luck on your continuing journey through life. And regardless of where you go, may you always remember your Bureau County roots.

•••There have been some great news stories in the

BCR recently. There are always too many to men-tion every one, but here are a few that really caught my eye:

• Twenty-three LaMoille High School sophomores recently published their own book, “Same Book, Different Stories: Short Stories from the Class of 2016.” Wow! What an exceptional accomplishment! And another round of applause to teacher Barb Zimmerman who orchestrated this six-month long project.

• Another great education story revolves around the middle school students at Malden Grade School, who have been working on a class-wide service learning project. The students, under the direction of teacher Barb Schlund, made quilt squares, which were sewn together to make blankets and delivered to area human and health service providers. Not only did the students get the opportunity to learn how to sew on a sewing machine, they also got an underlying lesson in benevolence.

• I don’t know if you had the opportunity to ready Jessica Carlson’s ag column on Saturday, but I have to tell you it was an exceptionally great piece of work. I’ve been writing columns for 20 years, and Jessica’s column was clearly far beyond her seventh-grade years. Clever, well-written, engaging ... I don’t mind admitting I got chills when I read it. Way to go, Jessica.

•••As the end of the school year rolls around, I hope

you’ll take the time to thank our area school teach-ers, who have given so much to so many. These folks help to shape our future. Bureau County has many retiring teachers and support staff this year. Your words of thanks and congratulations will mean a lot.

•••Have a safe week. Take time for you, and remem-

ber ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street As you graduate from high school, what kind of advice would you give to younger

students?

Practicing for the futureSince 1975, the children from

the shantytowns of Venezuela have been given the opportunity to participate in classical music train-ing. The program also known as El Sistema, encourages children as young as 2 years old to sign up for free music lessons or vocal training. They practice at what are known as “nucleus” centers where the kids are given free access to instruments, and the tutors there help prepare them to join one of the 102 youth orchestral systems available.

The creation of El Sistema started as the brainchild of economist, musician and reformer José Antonio Abreu, who wanted to encourage the Venezuelan youth living under the poverty line to strive for a more fulfilling life. His belief is that chil-dren who have a passion for the arts at a young age will grow up to be more motivated and lead happier lives. Little did he know, his project would positively change the lives of more than 250,000 children.

I recently saw a documentary on the youth orchestras called “Tocar y Luchar” (To Play and to Fight), directed by Alberto Alvaro (2006), and I am in awe of the passion and dedication these musicians have developed at such a young age. Throughout the film we see the children playing their violin, cellos,

basses, etc. with such concentra-tion on their faces. They practice diligently at home as well as in rehearsals. And when they perform together, they “live the experience of agreement” and create beautiful sounds in harmony with one anoth-er. What is even more impressive is the love these kids have for their craft. One musician, Daniel, tells the interviewers that he prefers to sleep on the bottom bunk because that way he is never far from his cello.

Through programs like El Sistema, kids like Daniel have been given a chance to grow as individuals. The benefits of the program are far grander than the music halls the kids have been lucky to perform in. For instance, practicing to learn an instrument teaches the kids self-dis-cipline and concentration. They learn to have faith in themselves as well as others. And above all, playing music makes them incredibly happy. Joyce, a musician featured in the documen-tary, “Tocar y Luchar,” noted when she played her viola she forgot all

about her vices. She no longer felt like a child in poverty but a musician worthy of achieving her aspirations.

The work of El Sistema is so important and necessary for all who participate. From an early age, the musicians are taught that they are responsible for their own success in life. They learn that no matter how dire their circumstances, their situ-ation does not have to be an indica-tion of what is to come. I hope that the programs continue in Venezuela for many more years, and I hope that we can promote similar projects here in the United States.

Maybe in the future we will even be able to create free programs support-ing fine arts education for all youths. Until then we can focus on a simpler goal. We can continue to remind our-selves to focus on why we do what we do. Rather than being bogged down by the reality that dreams are hard to accomplish, we can work hard at what really matters to us and see how far we can go. Lucky for us, the early founders of El Sistema figured it out: “What is done with love and convic-tion cannot be detained.”

Maintain state income taxTo the Editor,

In a perfect world, every elected official would love to lower taxes and still provide critical public ser-vices, however, the reality is the math just does not add up.

The Illinois Rural Health Association relies greatly on state-funded programs to support

medically underserved populations across the state. If the current state income tax is not main-tained at its current level, the health care services provided at hospitals, Rural Health Clinics and public health depart-ments will suffer greatly and impact thousands of Illinois residents who currently depend on them. In the mental health community, core psychiatric services and

crisis services would be eliminated. Unfortu-nately, if an individual does not get the proper medical care in the early stages of an illness or be able to stay on their medication, the illness is not eliminated; it wors-ens and becomes more expensive to treat in the long run and makes people who could be leading productive lives unproductive, not to men-tion the human pain and

suffering. The Illinois Rural

Health Association urges the members of the General Assembly to make what may not be the most popular choice but the most practical and responsible one, by voting to maintain the current state income tax rate.

2009By Kevin Hieronymus

PERU — Pete Kasper-ski’s retirement is being put on hold compliments of his Lady Devil softball team.

The Hall Lady Devils upset No. 1 seeded Sen-eca 7-0 in Saturday’s championship of the St. Bede 2A regional, keep-ing their outgoing coach in uniform for at least another day. It was Hall’s first regional title since 2009.

Deidra Whightsil and Ellie Herrmann each had two hits and Ellie Her-rmann and Abbey Azar-skis each drove in two wins. Sophomore pitcher Adriana Pikula took care of the rest, shutting out the Lady Irish on just three hits.

“Oh yeah, it’s his last year. Got to go out with a bang for him,” senior shortstop Brenna Faletti said.

“We definitely want to win it for him,” senior

catcher Becca Herrmann said. “He didn’t want us to think like that. He was like, ‘No, win it for yourselves.’ But we really wanted to win it for him. We’re really glad we got that last regional win for him”

Kasperski, who has coached Hall softball for eight years, said, “My wife wants me to keep working,”

Hall got the only runs Pikula would need with a pair in the first inning. Faletti scored on the front end of a double steal with Deidra Whightsil. Azar-skis drove in Whightsil on a long fly down the line that bounced off the glove of the Seneca left fielder.

Pikula doubled to lead off the second and scored.

The Lady Devils plated three runs in the fourth. They loaded the bases on three straight hits by Faletti, Deidra Whight-sil and Becca Herrmann before Faletti scored on a wild pitch. Ellie Her-rmann drove in Whightsil with a line drive single to left and Azarskis plated

A Mead for speedBy Kevin Hieronymus

CHARLESTON — Princ-eton senior Zoe Mead fin-ished her prep career in style, overtaking a pack of runners down the stretch to finish second in the Class 2A State 800 meters finals in Charleston Satur-day.

She was joined on the medal stand by team-mate Colbi Schertz, who finished eighth in the shot put.

Mead was near the lead in the first 200 meters, but found herself in about ninth or 10th place with 300 meters to go. That’s when she took matters in her own hands. She became a blur, picking off runners left and right to move all the way up to sec-ond place.

“I was trying to work my way out of the pack at the last curve. When I got around that pack, I realized second place was within reach and it took me the better part of the last straight-away to pass and get second,” Mead said. “Placing second made it easier to miss graduation and it meant a lot to me to

Rewarding day for Hoffert, Storm

By Kevin [email protected]

CHARLESTON — Lindsey Hoffert and the Bureau Valley Storm had a busy, but rewarding day in the IHSA Class 1A State Track and Field finals.

Hoffert garnered four state med-als, placing fifth in the long jump and landing medals in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays. She is the first BV athlete to medal in four events in one season.

“It means so much to me and the rest of the girls as well. It’s incredibly cool to finally see that all of our hard work paid off. Nothing beats that,” Hoffert said. “ I feel so lucky and proud to be able to do

what we did this weekend.”BV coach Dale Donner said gathering

for a post meet picture with all his ath-letes and their 13 medals put things in perspective.

“We earned 13 state medal,” he said. “To say I am proud of them would be an understatement. These girls have worked their tails off for this moment and they were rewarded for their efforts.”

The Storm relay squad of Helena Osk Arnadottir, Sabrina Webb, Tiana Kenne-dy and Hoffert, picked up a third-place medal in the 4x400, finishing with a new school record time of 4:01.59, bettering

Boys Track and Field Sectionals

Area boys qualify for stateBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

Princeton made some pretty swift moves in qualifying four athletes in five events for the state track meet. None may not have been good as their coach’s moves.

Tiger coach Dan Foes ran to celebrate a Tiger qualifier and slipped and fell. And he kept on

celebrating there on the ground with not a worry in the world.

They will take that celebration all the way to Charleston.

“Not too much to it. I ran, jumped and fell, but I didn’t care,” said Foes, a former weight man for Buda Western. “(Assis-tant coach) Curtis (Odell) asked me if was OK. I said, ‘I’ve never felt better.’”

Junior Drew Pranka heads

up the Tigers state contingent, placing first in the 300 hurdles (40.88) and second in the 110 hurdles (15.44). He will be joined in the 300 hurdles by teammate Lenny Mead, who was lead-ing the race until falling over a hurdle, got up and turned in a second-place time of 40.93.

Becca Herrmann with a groundout to third to make it 6-0.

Deidra Whightsil dou-bled with one out and scored on Ellie Herrmann’s second RBI hit of the day.

“We got beat by a decent amount by them earlier in the year, so we weren’t tak-ing them lightly. It’s nice to execute and actually win,” Faletti said.

“When we played them before, we lost by five I think. One girl had a home run. I think shutting her down kind of helped us know we could do it,” Becca Herrmann said. “We scored a lot last time we played them so we were pretty confident we could pull it out.”

Pikula, who struck out nine, never let the Irish get anything going offensively. She limited them to just three hits, while pitching around the Irish’s No. 3 and 4 hitters, Sarah Radtke

and Lexi Trompeter, who walked seven of eight times between them.

“That was our gameplan. We weren’t going to pitch to their 3 and 4 hitters. We weren’t going to let them beat us,” Kasperski said. “I never dreamed in my wild-est dreams we’d shut them

out...We didn’t make an error. That’s probably the first time all year we didn’t make an error. It’s a great time (to do that).

The Lady Devils (12-10) will face Stillman Valley at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the first semifinal of the Byron Sectional.

“I can’t be more proud-er of the girls to where we started to where we are right now. It’s just a great feeling,” Kasperski said. “I don’t care who we play in sectionals. For these girls here, this is our state cham-pionship, really. Because now, you’re going to face somebody who’s bringing it. But were going to go and compete and do the best we can.”

Becca Herrmann said it’s a nice way to end her career at Hall.

“Me, Brenna and Deidra have worked so hard for four years and now this is the final thing we get to do and it’s so awesome,” she said.


be able to break the school record.”PHS coach Pat Hodge said it took a

State-record performance by Karina Liz to beat Mead, who clocked a 2:15.87 in the finals. Mead’s prelim time of 2:15.28 broke the school record held by Angie Noble since 1987.

“She started closing the gap some on the backstretch, got a little closer on the last turn and then was able to reel in everyone but Karina Liz in at the end,” Hodge said. “I was very pleased that she didn’t give up and had the confi-dence to stay after it in that last 300. I

had her final 100 meters in just over 15 seconds.”

While Schertz didn’t improve on her prelim performance of 38 feet, 2 inches in the shot put, she did make PHS girls’ track history by becoming the school’s first to medal in the shot put.

“We came to Charleston with one school record holder (Schertz) and one previous state medalist (Mead). We left with two school record holders and two state medalists. I’m very proud of their performances,” Hodge said.

Notes: Mead signed to continue to run track for Lewis University. Phoenix Smallwood, a 2013 PHS grad, complet-ed her freshman season there.

Foes called the day, “absolutely awesome.”

Erie 1A sectional: Twelve area athletes quali-fied in nine events for the Class 1A State Track and Field Meet at the Erie Sec-tional Friday.

Hall’s Collin Aimone and Bureau Valley’s Kane Eastwood head up the area contingent with three qualifiers each.

Aimone finished second in the 400-meters (51.29) and long jump (20-11). He also qualified on the Red Devils’ 4x100 relay with Patrick Einhaus, Chris Hammonds and Alic Her-nandez, who finished sec-ond in 44.34.

Eastwood had one indi-vidual qualifier, clocking a top time of 2:01.94 to win

the 800. He also ran on two winning efforts in relays. He ran with Ryan Taylor, Daniel Trone and Colton Peterson for a first-place and school record 8:12.48 in the 4x800. He ran the anchor for the Storm’s first place effort in the 4x400 of 3:28.63 with Trone, Tucker Schoff and Peterson.

Tucker Schoff also qualified on time in the 300 hurdles with a fourth-place effort of 41.45.

Hall’s Al Baldonado was a sectional champion in the 3,200 meters with a winning time of 9:54.01.

St. Bede threw its weight around for three qualifi-ers. Michael Slingsby (136-11) and John Barnes (135-6) finished 1-2 in the dis-cus and Barnes garnered a sectional berth in the shot put with a second-place toss of 48-1.


the previous record of 4:02.23 set in 2006, as well a county record. Williams-ville was first with 3:59.47

In the 4x200, the Storm were edged by Three Rivers rival Erie/Prophetstown (1:47.64) with Marissa Mungia, Katelyn Johnson, Kennedy and Hoffert turning in an eighth-place time of 1:48.10, bet-tering the school record they had just set in Thursday’s prelims.

“It was so good to see senior Katelyn Johnson get a state medal on her last race,” Donner said. “She has been a lead by example worker for us this year. Our success from all our season comes back to the work ethic she has brought to this team.”

Bureau Valley landed yet another medal and county record in the 4x100, placing eighth (50.71) on the legs of Haley DeVoss, Kennedy, Mungia and Hoffert. Donner said the Storm had three “terrific handoffs.”

“We got up early in the morning to get to the track before it got crowded to work on the handoffs a little more,” Donner said. “That extra work is what these girls have been about all year long. They do not shy away from hard work, and it became worth it on Satur-day.”

Hoffert set a personal best in the long jump by 17-9 1/4 on her second attempt, good for fifth place. She placed third a year ago with a lower distance of 17-4 3/4.

“She keeps wondering what might of been, but I am happy for what was,” Donner said. “That was a very strong field in Class A. Her jump would have placed her second in 2A.”

Bureau Valley junior Sydney Lebahn just missed out on a medal in the dis-cus, placing ninth with a throw of 113-7 from prelims.

Bureau Valley finished tied for 17th place with 16 points. Aurora Christian topped the field with 49.

The largest recorded crocodile: feet long.

Alligators have to teeth. They grow new ones to replace broken teeth. One alligator can have as many as teeth in a lifetime!

S E C R E T C O D E

Don’t bother trying to outrun a crocodile or an alligator. They have a

swimming speed of 20 miles per

hour and a running speed of 11 miles per hour

for short distances.

The top row of teeth on alligators are visible when their mouths are

closed.

From above, an alligator’s snout is

U-shaped.

A crocodile’s snout is

V-shaped.

They’re potentially dangerous animals to humans. And they’re carnivores so they will catch and eat almost any creature. They don’t chew and swallow, they just tear off chunks and swallow whole.

But humans are also dangerous to these creatures. Habitat destruction and over- hunting have made these ancient reptiles endangered species.
