PRINCETON — This year marks the 100th anniversary since the women’s suffrage bill passed Illinois legislature – giving women the right to vote.

Among the various cele-brations throughout the year to highlight this great mark in history, the Tiskilwa His-torical Society, this month, invited Chicago historian Leslie Goddard to portray five famous Illinois suffrag-ists in a program highlighting the suffrage movement.

Reading Oasis planned for

Neponset school

A boost for area libraries

Teen driving deaths down nearly 60 percent

By Andrew [email protected]

NEPONSET — To high-light its Reading Week activities, Neponset Grade School will host a Family Reading Night today, Tuesday. The unique event will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the grade school gym. The theme for the event will be the Reading Oasis.

The Family Reading Night event will feature games, prizes, a book fair, family picture mak-ing and treats. Reading Week lasts from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1.

The event takes a month to prepare. Back-drops have to be paint-ed, and teachers have to put in extra time to plan reading activities.

“We want to see all of our Bobcats and their loved ones at the event,” Neponset Grade School Principal Kevin Gunn said. “The PTA and teachers have done a great job planning to make the night more fun and enjoyable for parents and students.”

The PTA and teachers have lined up a host of events to generate inter-est in reading for the eve-ning event. Storytelling by kindergarten students and first-graders with Ms. Hodge will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Other highlights of the evening include a Scho-lastic Book Fair and a “Make-It, Take-It” family picture frame center. The cost for the family picture and picture frame center is $5.

The teachers and PTA

are hoping for a good turn-out, since all proceeds go toward paying for field trips, the purchase of supplies, and fun night expenses, Gunn said. Funds from the Scholar-ship Book Fair will go toward the purchase of school books.

Students who partici-pate in at least four events during Reading Week will be invited to attend a popcorn and movie party.

Grant money released to help

sustain local libraries’ e-Book

service

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

PRINCETON — Secre-tary of State and State Librarian Jesse White recently presented a check in the amount of $985,219 to the Illi-nois Heartland Library System (IHLS) and the Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS), which will help bring improvements to the e-Book service.

According to a press release issued by White’s office, the grant funding will decrease e-Book par-

ticipation fees for mem-ber libraries and provide support and training for librarians that choose to have e-Book collections.

While the grant money won’t have a direct effect on local librar-ies, Princeton Public Library Director Julie Wayland explained it will be a group benefit to all RAILS member libraries who can provide e-Book services.

Wayland said the e-Book service is a great expense for most librar-ies because of publisher contracts that come with e-Books.

While Princeton Pub-lic Library rents e-Books for patrons, depending on the publisher of cer-tain e-Books, the library might only be entitled to circulate a particu-

lar e-Book for a certain length of time or will only be give a certain amount of check-outs for particu-lar e-Books.

Wayland explained the grant money will allow representatives of RAILS to approach publish-ers and work out better contract deals for mem-ber libraries. It could mean libraries will be able to circulate particu-lar e-Books longer or for more times then they are currently given.

The deals worked out for RAILS member librar-ies will be beneficial for e-Book budgets, allow-ing libraries to be able to expand their e-Book collection for patrons. The decrease in e-Book fees may also eventually help smaller libraries who currently cannot afford

e-Book services a chance to start an e-Book service for their patrons, Way-land said.

The grant is just one step to help sustain the e-Book system as a whole.

Although it’s not directly benefiting librar-ies, Wayland said it’s def-initely an indirect ben-efit that embraces the e-Book technology.

“It’s more of a group benefit,” she said.

This will be a great thing for Princeton Pub-lic Library because Way-land explained e-Books get more popular each year.

“Especially after every Christmas when patrons have gotten a new hand-held electronic device,” she said.

Secretary of State Jesse White announced teen driving deaths are down nearly 60 percent in Illi-nois as the country recog-nizes National Teen Driver Safety Week Oct. 20-26.

Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program was cited as one of the contributing factors to the decline in fatalities. Accord-ing to the Illinois Depart-ment of Transportation, there were 144 teen driv-ing deaths in 2007. Since White’s efforts to overhaul the GDL law took effect in 2008, teen driving fatalities have decreased by nearly 60 percent – with 58 teen driving deaths in 2012.

Illinois’ GDL program better prepares novice, teen drivers by giving them more time to obtain valu-able driving experience while under the watchful eye of a parent or guardian, limiting in-car distractions and requiring teens to earn their way from one stage to the next by avoiding traffic convictions. State and national traffic safety organizations have praised Illinois’ stronger GDL pro-gram as one of the best in the nation.

authorities, the BJS states. In 2012, about 44 percent of violent victimizations and 54 percent of serious vio-lent victimizations were reported to police, with about 34 percent of property victimizations reported.

Locally, Bureau Coun-ty Sheriff John Thomp-son said he doesn’t think there has been any significant changes in crime rates locally during the last year. Of course, any crime rate is higher than what it should be, the sheriff said.

According to records kept by the Bureau County Sheri f f ’ s Department, Bureau County had 90 thefts in 2012 and 109 burglar-ies in the 2012 year. So far to date in 2013, Bureau County has had 63 thefts and 37 bur-glaries. Burglaries are when actual break-ins to buildings or vehicles occur.

Thompson said he’s somewhat surprised to see the decrease in the number of burglar-ies from 2012. Unfor-tunately, that number may increase in com-ing weeks as the Christ-mas holiday season approaches and people

may resort to crime to get things they think they may need for them-selves or their families, the sheriff said.

As he has said before, national crime trends tend to start in the cit-ies and more populated areas, but those trends typically will reach the rural areas in time, Thompson said.

As far as what people can do to protect them-selves and their proper-ties, Thompson said he would like to see people become more proactive, locking their doors and not going to the door if they don’t know the per-son. Also, even posting a “No Trespassing” sign

at the home or yard is a good thing to do. Hav-ing a dog in the house will notify anyone on the outside that there is a dog on the premises, which may also deter people, he said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the U.S. Jus-tice Department, which manages the crime sur-vey, has said one reason the recent crime rate increases seem so large is that crime has gone down during the last two decades, and current crime rates still remain at historically low lev-els.

“(Goddard’s) point was with any move-ment, some people say, ‘No, we want it all. We want it all or nothing.’ But what (women) came around to was let’s take this, and then we will get the next step and the next step,” she said.

In Goddard’s presen-tation, she highlighted just a few of the many excuses men, as well as the women against the suffrage moment, spoke out against why it was wrong for women to vote.

Many thought allow-

ing women to vote would be “terrible” for the American family. They said women wouldn’t stay in the home; they would stop raising chil-dren; they would vote the same as their hus-bands, so votes would only double for a given candidate, or it would be contrary — they would vote the opposite of their husbands and cancel out votes.

Reviewing the rea-sons, Gerber said the ridiculous excuses still had nothing to do with the fact that women as citizens deserved the right to vote.

Looking back on her

own family history, Gerber thinks of her grandmother, who died before she was born. Gerber’s grandmother lived during women’s suffrage.

“She lived 10 to 15 years where she couldn’t vote,” she said. “She wasn’t able to vote until she was 37 years old.”

The funny thing for Gerber is her grand-mother’s old scrapbooks, which were saved after her death included many cutouts of political humor, giving proof that some women during that time did follow political matters and showed an

interest of the political world.

The most fascinating part of the women suf-frage movement for Ger-ber is the bravery women and men wore during the times.

“I think about how brave these women and men were to put it out there,” she said. “Through the ridicule, the humiliation, they just believed in their cause ... There’s just a certain amount of brav-ery to be able to just say. ‘I don’t care what other people think; I think this is right in my heart,’”

“We are teaching peo-ple the importance of cleaning out their medi-cine cabinets to keep the drugs out of the wrong hands,” Conerton said. “If you are not using the drugs or if they are

expired, then get rid of them. There is an expi-ration date on the medi-cines for a reason.”

Also, there are some people who may take drugs from medicine cabinets and try to sell them, or some young people may take them for their parties, she said.

Another reason for the collection and proper disposal of unwanted or expired medicines is to safeguard the environ-ment and not flush the drugs into the water sys-tem, Conerton said.

With another success-ful Take Back event com-pleted, Conerton said CPASA is appreciative

of the support of area law enforcement depart-ments in partnering with CPASA in the Take Back and P2D2 programs. CPASA also appreciates the residents and com-munities for their sup-port of these needed pro-grams, she said.

Ohio High SchoolOHIO — The Ohio

High School Board met in regular session on Oct. 21 and conducted the following business:

• Approved the agen-da as presented, the minutes of the Sept. 30 regular meeting and budget hearing as presented, September treasurer’s report and bills and payroll.

• After discussion with the board mem-bers, the board agreed with the grade school board to wait until January to complete board training.

• Superintendent Sharon Sweger explained every five years, the school must do a waiver for driver’s education because they offer the class in the summertime. The school has done this for several years. It is very cost effective for the district and also frees up a period for the students dur-ing the school year to take a college class if needed. The board will be having a hearing at 6:30 p.m. with the reg-ular meeting immedi-ately following. Sweger also had a couple par-ents approach her con-cerning children’s birth dates and the timing of the school’s driver’s education class. If the school board moved it during the school year, then it would affect other students’ birth dates. Either way will be a no-win situation. If the school moved it to second semester, it would be more costly

as far as teacher sal-ary, insurance, gas and rental of the car. One parent has offered to pay for this if the school changes. However, if down the line the school has a situation like this again and it’s a student who can’t afford it, the cost comes back on the district. The board decided to not change their summer driver’s education class. It has worked for years. They suggested this student take the classroom instruction at Ohio and then the behind-the-wheel instruction at an outside source, so when the student is 15, they will be on track to get their license.

• Approved the sub-mission of the 2014 school library per capi-ta grant application.

• Reviewed and accepted the Fiscal Year 2013 audit.

• Sweger feels the committee for one-on-one computing needs to meet again before any action can be taken.

• Principal Jason Wilt has written a School Improvement Plan to be submitted to the state after approval by the board. Since Wilt was not in attendance due to a conference, Sweger reviewed the plan he has written. The board approved the plan.

• In Sweger’s report, she announced the current enrollment is 35 students. Sweger is getting a price for replacing the caps on top of the building. The

roofer recently visited the school and said water could be pen-etrating the building through the deteriorat-ed caps. Sweger is pur-suing two state grants. Sweger has contacted the school’s architect to see about including the remaining win-dows on life safety to assist with this grant. The energy grant is up to $250,000. Also, scoreboards should be arriving soon. Sweger ordered new mats, which go below the baskets on each end of the gym. The schools’ current mats are in bad shape. Sweger was able to get the scoreboard cost down enough to pay for the mats. Also, the seniors have addressed Sweger with new trip revision. The spon-sors going are Adam Spencer and Jordan Olson. There are only three students who have decided to go, so they are going to fly. On Wednesday, they will go to Chicago; Thursday, fly out to Washington, D.C.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, do a lot of sightseeing; Saturday, attend a Bulls’ game; Sunday, fly back to Chicago, where they will visit Navy Pier and then attend a Blackhawks game. They will arrive home late. Sweger approved this with the firm understanding they will all be present at school Monday morn-ing,

• In Wilt’s report to the board he said the

girls’ volleyball sea-son has gone well. All teams are progressing nicely. Varsity won all but one conference game. They recently placed fourth in the Little Ten Conference Tournament. Also, the school is still wait-ing on AYP results to be released. Sweger thinks it will be the end of October or first of November. The Response to Intervention (RTI) is going well. The school had RTI in the past, but this year they are taking it one step further where stu-dents are receiving additional instruction time outside the class-room. The RTI program has the whole school involved. They have several teachers as RTI instructors. Olson and Barbara Mead have been instrumen-tal in helping Wilt with scheduling, answering questions about inter-ventions and much more. The school also participated in the 2013 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut at 10:17 a.m. Oct. 17. The school was among 2.4 million people in Central U.S. and 18 million world-wide who participated in the drill.

• The board approved the closed session minutes from the Sept. 30 meeting.

The next board meeting will be held on Nov. 25 with the driv-er’s education waiver starting at 6:30 p.m. and the regular meet-ing following in the school library.

Showtimes good 10/18/13 thru 10/24/13 .

Well, like it or not (and I don’t), it happens this Sunday. That’s right. Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, when we “fall back” and set our clocks back one hour. Ugh! I always dread the end of Day-light Saving Time, which means for me there are several days when I never see my home in the daylight — since I leave before it gets light and come home long after it’s dark! Don’t forget ... set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, or you’ll be the first one in the pew Sunday morning.

•••I’ve been watching the fields in and around Bureau

County, and it always amazes me how quickly our area farmers harvest their crops. No kidding. I go to work with full fields of corn stalks along the roadside and come home to those same cleanly-harvested fields.

I know area farmers and their families put in long hours during the harvest. I also know that’s just part of being a farmer. But I will just offer a few words of friendly advice, for what it’s worth. I have to believe area farmers are tired as they attempt to beat Mother Nature and her tricks (kind of like that surprise snow shower last Tuesday). My point to all of this is that I would encourage farmers to get some rest. An exhausted farmer behind the wheel of a large piece of equipment is not a safe farmer. We want all of our area farmers (actually farmers everywhere) to be back for another harvest. Get some rest, my friends.

•••We are actively working on the winter edition of

Illinois Valley Living. If you have any feature story ideas, please feel free to send me an email at [email protected]. As always, this edition promises to be jam-packed with great stories/photos from your friends and neighbors in the Illinois Valley.

•••Halloween is nearly upon us. Last weekend saw a

plethora of spooky fun all around the county, and on Thursday, nearly every town and village in Bureau County will be hosting its annual trick-or-treat event, along with more parties and fun. As always, I would caution everyone to be careful as you drive through the county on Halloween night, taking a few extra minutes to be on the lookout for young ghosts, prin-cesses and Super Heroes who may be excited and not use great safety measures. It’s probably a good time for parents to review those words of wisdom with their youngsters — looking both ways before crossing the street, staying with a group, and not eating any candy until Mom or Day have checked each piece.

Also, you’ll want to make sure you thank the folks who are orchestrating one of the many Halloween events for area children. Those activities require a lot of effort, energy and money, and those folks deserve a good old-fashioned pat on the back! Happy Haunting!

•••Thought for the day: “I like to call it nighttime

brain — the way your mind seems to function on a different frequency than it does during daylight hours — which can be good or bad but also can lead to unexpected epiphanies or experiences that wouldn’t be the same at any other time of day.” Erin Morgen-stern.

Thought for tomorrow: “How lovely are the portals of the night, when stars come out to watch the day-light die.” Thomas Cole.

•••It’s difficult to believe the holidays are just a hop,

skip and a jump away. As you plan your gift-giving lists, please remember to add a few names onto it, like your local food pantry, the United Way and other area toy drives, the agencies in the area who take care of our homeless and stray animals, and other benevolent causes. If we each made a small donation, I have to think it would be a better holiday for all.

•••Have a great week. Take some time for you. And

remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.BCR Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@

From the editor’s desk

Questions about Hall’s performanceTo the Editor,

I would like to thank Superintendent Michael Struna for being candid and forthright about the “unacceptable” educa-tional product that is being produced at Hall High School. You may hear other school offi-cials duck and cover from their results, blam-ing the methodology of the survey, which by most accounts was not perfect.

As I think about the situation at Hall, many questions come to mind including: Who is to blame? Is it the super-intendent, the board, the teachers, the union, and or the Hall Town-ship community at large? Is this somebody else’s problem, or is it, in fact, everyone’s prob-lem? If you have young children here, and you would like them to be prepared for the world,

should you be saving money to pay for tuition at a private school? Do we need more private school choices? If you have children in the school right now, and you would like them to be prepared for the world, what can you do right now? If you are a potential new business or a potential new resi-dent to Hall Township, and you think education is important, should you be looking elsewhere? Of the kids who do make it out of Hall High School and maybe get to IVCC, how many of those fami-lies will have to spend their first tuition dollars on “remedial” classes because their children have prepared in an admittedly “unaccept-able” educational envi-ronment? How many of the people who wrote letters to the editor in support of raising prop-erty taxes for new bricks and mortar are willing to be a part of the solution? How many of the 600

people who lent their names to a newspaper ad or of the 1,300 “yes” voters think that a 21st Century building should not have a 20th Century curriculum and are will-ing to stand up to say so?

With 14 million Ameri-cans unemployed, and 3 million jobs unfilled because there are not enough smart people to work them, what does this say about wide sec-tions of our American public schools? Of the regions where schools and education are suc-ceeding, what programs are they doing there that can be copied here?

J. BurtSpring Valley

I wish ...To the Editor,

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I am not that fortu-nate. I have senators who favor more spend-ing, larger government, fewer personal liberties,

and more government control and greater fiscal burdens.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I wish my senators would buck the Wash-ington norm, fight for personal freedoms and refuse to continue spend-ing as though the results of voting for trillions of dollars of debt will never have a dire consequence.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I want to see sena-tors who point out the wrongs in Washington and try to fix those wrongs, instead of think-ing more, and bigger gov-ernment programs will cure all ills.

I wish either one of my senators was Ted Cruz.

I would like to see my senators support life, including life in the womb. But they don’t.

I wish either of my senators was Ted Cruz.

But they’re not. They’re not even close.

‘You are loved’Princeton High School’s 21st Century Community Learning Center’s Pride Club participated in the “You Are Loved” campaign Oct. 10 by creating inspirational and uplifting messages in chalk on the sidewalks surrounding the high school. The club’s main focus is to promote equality and encour-age everyone to respect one another. The club is funded by a federal grant secured by the Bureau-Henry-Stark Regional Office of Education which is used to establish and maintain after school and summer academic activi-ties. The three year grant is expected to expire in August 2014. This was one of many events planned for the school year to promote a positive atmosphere and feeling of belonging for everyone at PHS and the com-munity. Devin Fields, a junior at PHS, participates in the campaign.

PCA will hold open house FridayPRINCETON — Princ-

eton Christian Academy will host a soup sup-per and open house at 6 p.m. Friday in the PCA gymnasium.

Students in Sonshine Preschool through eighth grade are busy preparing for this eve-ning. The festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with a preschool program in the classroom for par-ents, grandparents and

other people special to the preschool chil-dren who will make up a smaller crowd for their performance. Then soup, sandwiches and dessert will be served at 6 p.m. and grades kindergarten through eighth grade will per-form songs and recita-tions as the audience dines.

An open house follows featuring artwork and

class projects displayed in the hallways and classrooms. The purpose of the evening is two-fold — to showcase the PCA students and their talents and to encourage financial assistance to the school through vol-untary donations. The public is invited to this special evening, and res-ervations are requested so proper food prepara-tions can be made.

Tigers’ run ends

Bruins run a playoff sneakBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

Michael Bellino had given up hope on making the playoffs, dreading to have to turn his St. Bede uniform in for the last time.

Turns out, he will get to wear his No. 45 for at least one more week

The Bruins (5-4) sneaked into the 3A playoffs, drawing a first-round date at No. 1 seed Winnebago (9-0) at 7 p.m. Friday. They were the second to last team to get in with 36 playoff opponents (combined wins by opponents).

Michael Bellino, the senior son of Bruins coach John Bellino, said

he was really surprised when they got the word during a family dinner from assistant coach Mark Siebert the Bruins had made it.

“I know personally I did (lost hope). I don’t know about the coaches, if they had the math fig-ured out. I was fairly confident we weren’t going to make it,” he said.

Now, it doesn’t matter who they play, “as long as we’re in,” Michael Bellino said. “We’ve got a second chance; got to play your heart out.”

The last team to qualify, Rich-mond-Burton (5-4), had the same amount of playoff points, with St.

MENDOTA — The Princeton Tigers’ goal for winning a state title was dashed Saturday evening in Mendota.

Somonauk kept the pressure on the Tigers for nearly all of the 80 minutes in the 2-0 victory to claim the Mendota Sectional championship. Princeton had 18 wins going into the sectional and had hoped to make it all the way to the state championship. Unfor-tunately, Somonauk’s 20-shot effort was too much for Princeton.

“They did a nice job putting pressure on us. I thought our defense played very well. There

were a couple of unlucky bounces but that is part of the game. We got a couple of lucky bounces the other night and sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don’t. We had some opportuni-ties,” PHS coach Jason Bird said.

“Give credit to Somonauk. Hope-fully they will do well on Tuesday and continue to advance,”

Somonauk (22-2) got on the board with 19:41 left in the first half on what appeared to be an own goal by the Tigers. Luke Enders was credited with the score.

“The ball is going to bounce around in there. We had our share of those go our way this year, and tonight they didn’t,” Bird said.

Somonauk added its second goal with just under six minutes left in the game with a Josh Smith goal. Princeton did not have any of their 12 shots find paydirt.

Storm gets a boost from Taylor, Weidner

Baldonado wins regional race at Seneca

By BCr sports [email protected]

WALNUT — The return of ace runners Ryan Tay-lor and Regan Weidner into the Bureau Valley lineup proved to be a big boost for the Storm in Saturday’s 1A cross coun-try regional they hosted.

Both the boys (third) and girls (fourth) squad qualified for this week’s sectional. Amboy/La-Moille also got both of its squads out.

“With the boys hav-ing Ryan back, and the girls having Regan back, it seemed to be a psy-chological boost to the team. Hopefully we can carry that through to next week,” BV coach Dale

Donner said.There were just eight

boys competing, with the top seven advanc-ing to this week’s Ore-gon Sectional. Bureau Valley placed third, fol-lowing Sterling Newman (56) and Rock Falls (64). Amboy/LaMoille (179) claimed the final spot in seventh.

SENECA — Hall junior Al Baldonado won the Class A regional cross country championship at Seneca Saturday. He will have company at section-als.

Baldonado clocked a winning time of 16 min-utes, 37 seconds. He’ll be joined at the Oregon Sec-tional by the Hall boys, who placed third as a team, and the Hall girls, who placed seventh.

Princeton qualified two individuals for the Ore-gon Sectional, Zoe Mead and Cody Workman. Other individual quali-fiers include St. Bede’s Jake Condon and Putnam County’s Noe Flores and Ashlyn Haage,

Baldonado beat out Henry’s Alex Pettis by five seconds, using a strong kick to claim the regional crown.

“It was a very challeng-ing course on a windy day,” Hall coach Tom-Keegan said. “He was sitting in second place at the mile marker with the leader looking very strong. When they got to the two-mile, Al had closed the gap somewhat before they disappeared into the woods. It came

opportunities late in the second half but was unable to capitalize after a Somonauk foul gave the Tigers the ball with their full complement of play-ers on the offensive side of the field. Somonauk was unrelenting on both sides of the ball allowing them to make the most of their fortunes.

Bird mentioned his team set the bar very high, and they should expect to be in regional and sectional games in the future. He, however, won’t be a part of that future.

LaMoille/Ohio was the last Bureau County team standing a year ago by reaching the regional finals, but will have to get past a strong AFC team to make it back this year.

Newman won just its second regional championship. Its first came in 2009 when it went on to win the Class 1A State title.

The top runners for Bureau Valley were Taylor (12th, 17:23), Daniel Trone (13th, 17:25) and Kane Eastwood (18th, 17:44), Kody Church (27th, 18:10) and Andrew Smith (29th, 18:12).

“Our boys ran a strong race, but we feel our best race is still in front of us,” Donner said. “We understand the dif-ficulty of the course at Oregon, but feel we have put the work in this year to be prepared and advance.”

Annawan-Wethersfield junior Michael Cook won in 15:57.

The BV girls took fourth (112) in a field headed by Annawan/Wethersfield (33), Rock Falls (103) and IVC (106). Amboy/LaMoille placed fifth (134).

Donner said his girls simply “ran awe-some,” finishing only nine points out of second place, as the top finishing team from the Three Rivers. Weidner head the Storm pack, finishing 17th in 21:28. She was joined by 21st. Katelin Johnson 21:49, 29th Helena Arnadottir 22:33.3, 30th Veronica Riggen 22:33.6, 32nd Riley Francis 22:45, 36th Heather Williams 23:07 and 38th Kelly Sierens 23:14.

“I am very proud of how they com-peted today. They have put in a lot of hard work and it is starting to pay off,” he said.

Weidner hadn’t competed since the Princeton Invitational in mid-Septem-ber due to a stress fracture. Last year’s Class 1A state runner-up finished 17th with a time of 21:28.

“It was rough, but it could have been worse,” Weidner said.

Weidner has no illusions about what the next two weeks might hold. She’ll simply do her best at sectional, and then again at state, if she makes it that far. The top priority, however, is to be healthy next year as a senior.

“I don’t think this year will be any-where close to next year,” Weidner said. “I’m just going to do what I can, hope for the best and believe in myself.”

Leading the way for Amboy was fresh-man Megan Grady, who placed third with a time of 19:41. She was bested by a pair of Annawan-Wethersfield run-ners, Kirstie Ramsey (19:04) and Kait-lyn Cline (19:37).

Grady, the Three Rivers Conference individual champ, admitted to some pre-race jitters.

“I was really nervous, and I felt really sick during it,” Grady said. “I was really light-headed, but I finished. I was like, ‘I can’t walk.’ I had Italian food last night, and I won’t do that again before a race. I felt pretty crummy, so I was amazed how I did when I felt that way.”

Workman was the lone runner to compete for the PHS boys and he delivered, placing 19th with a time of 19:01 to qualify as the fourth individual.

Flores (12th, 18:15) and Condon (17th, 18:54) will join Workman as individual qualifiers.

Mead advanced as the sec-ond individual qualifier for the girls, placing 13th in 21:49. She qualified for sec-tionals for the fourth time.

“Zoe looked a little out of sync, but was able to battle through it enough to earn her fourth sectional trip,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said. “Although today wasn’t our best day, I was proud of all our girls, most of them trying cross country for the first time and seeing it through as far as they could.”

The Hall girls claimed the seventh and final berth with 193 points. Scoring for Hall were Kaylee Olivares (25th, 23:34), Amelia Moreno (35th, 24:28), Becca Her-rmann (41st, 25:18), Britta-ny Foster (43rd, 25:45) and Linnea Lee-Brown (49th, 26:29).

Henry/Midland edged Ottawa Marquette for the team title, 49-50. Fieldcrest’s Maria Baldwin (19:42) was the race winner.

Bede gaining an edge in the tiebreak-er for defeated opponents’ wins, 11-9. Sterling (5-4) was the first team to be left out with 35 playoff points and 12. Three Rivers member Fulton (5-4, 34) did not get in either despite their Week 9 win over Bureau Valley.

There was no drama for Hall (6-3), which drew a opening round game in 2A at undefeated Bismarck-Henning (9-0). The Vermillion Valley Confer-ence champion is a school of 324 stu-dents located north of Danville, about 160 miles from Spring Valley.

Hall coach Randy Tieman said he had a list of about eight teams Hall could play, but Bismarck was not on his radar.

“We are OK with playing Bismarck.

I thought we would get a little closer game. But we are playing in week 10 and the kids are very happy about that,” he said.

Three Rivers South champ Rock-ridge (9-0) gained a No. 1 seed and will host former West Central rival Carthage Illinois West (No. 8, 6-3). No. 5 Sterling Newman (8-1), the Three Rivers North champ, will play at No. 4 Fieldcrest (8-1) at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Also in 2A, No. 4 Annawan/Wethers-field (8-1) will host Lincoln Trail rival Aledo Mercer County (No. 5, 8-1).

In 3A, Kewanee (6-3) drew the No. 11 seed and a trip to No. 6 Seneca (7-2), and No. 13 River Valley (6-3) travels to No. 4 Erie-Prophetstown (7-2) at 7 p.m. Friday. It’s the first playoff bid for the River Valley co-op between Midland and Henry.

How to find a complementary medical providerWhen the time comes

to find a traditional doc-tor, many people find the process to be relatively easy. Some doctors may be recommended by a friend, while others opt for a physician that has been treating their fam-ilies for years. Certain health management and insurance plans may dictate certain “in-plan” providers, searchable by a particular location and practice. Finding an alternative medical pro-

vider, or one who spe-cializes in complemen-tary medicine, may not be as simple.

Practitioners who pro-vide complementary and alternative medicine, known as CAM, are those who specialize in chiro-practics, naturopathy, acupuncture and herb-al remedies. Millions of people now see CAM pro-viders in addition to their standard physicians. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-

vices estimates that at least 40 percent of adults and 12 percent of chil-dren have used a CAM provider.

Complementary and alternative medicine is made up of a diverse set of therapies and healing philosophies. While tradi-tional doctors may treat illnesses, many CAM providers are employing techniques to prevent ill-nesses in the first place. Dissatisfaction with tra-ditional medicine has led many people to seek the help of CAM providers. In fact, a study in the Journal of the Ameri-can Medical Association found that the majority of alternative medicine

users appear to be doing so largely because “they find these healthcare alternatives to be more congruent with their own values, beliefs and phil-osophical orientations toward health and life.”

Men and women can find a CAM provider is several ways.

• Start with your doc-tor or another health care provider, who may offer a referral, particu-larly if this doctor is in favor of traditional medi-cine working in conjunc-tion with alternative therapies.

• Some regional medi-cal centers and hospitals may have CAM practi-tioners on staff. You can

seek information from such organizations by calling them directly or going online to see a list-ing of staff.

• There are a number of professional organiza-tions for CAM providers. An online search may yield various organiza-tions that offer regional referrals.

• Contact state, pro-vincial or municipal reg-ulatory licensing boards for health care profes-sionals. Health depart-ments and boards may have information on nearby practitioners.

• To meet the rising demand for complemen-tary and alternative care services, many health

insurance plans have options for you to access these services. Howev-er, many plans provide only limited coverage for many CAM services.

• Referrals from friends and family mem-bers may yield the name of an effective local CAM practitioner.

Individuals should keep in mind that unless CAM services are covered by insurance, it is very likely that all expenses will be out-of-pocket. When searching for a specialist, be sure to find one who is qualified and verify his or her training, certifications and licens-ing before beginning any treatment.

There are many different ways to find alternative and complementary health practitioners.
