SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley Elementary School Board and Spring Val-ley City Council are still at a disagreement on where a new traffic signal light and pedestrian crossing should be placed in the downtown area.

While the city would like the Safe Routes to School Grant to be applied at the inter-section of Dakota and Strong streets, the school board has concerns about the inter-section being too traffic heavy with the future supermarket and other businesses near the location.

The board believes a safer location for the traffic signal would be at the intersec-

tion of Dakota and Richards streets or Dakota and Taylor streets. Currently, the school tries to route students to cross at Richards Street.

With the grant, the city would receive funding from Illinois Department of Trans-portation (IDOT) for the construction of sidewalks from the school to the inter-section, a traffic light and the city would provide a crossing guard for the students.

SPRING VALLEY — Curriculum changes are coming to Hall High School.

Science teachers Nicky Barto, Rob Malerk and Bettianne Harrison pre-sented information to the board about the Next Generation Science Stan-dards (NGSS) also known as Common Core Science to the Hall High School Board on Wednesday eve-ning.

Barto explained the standards were adopted in the summer of 2013 and are performance stan-dards for all students. The Next Generation Science Standards cover the areas of life science, physical science, earth and space science, plus engineering and technology.

The NGSS are aligned to the Common Core State Standards. When students are learning about science, they are also enhancing their skills in reading, writing and math.

The science department has recently visited two schools to get ideas for their new science rooms and STEM Lab, but as a result, they decided it was time to align the science curriculum at Hall High School to the new stan-dards.

“We are designing rooms to last 50-60 years in the new building, and we decided to update our curriculum as well,” Barto said.

PRINCETON — From one extreme to another … Mother Nature appears to be somewhat tempera-mental.

The Quad Cities area, including Bureau County, has recorded its snowiest winter on record but saw temperatures this week near 50 degrees, creat-ing lots of melting snow and potential flooding.

On top of that, there was rain with thunder and lightning. To make things even more unpredictable, the weather turns colder again this weekend, with a chance of some light snowfall on Monday.

Mother Nature appar-ently can’t make up her mind.

On Thursday, WQAD meteorologist James Zahara said the whole Midwest has experienced a grab bag of weather this week, with blizzard conditions to the north-west of the Quad Cites and the potential for severe weather off to the southeast. Though those

extremes were missed by the Quad Cities area, the entire area was still hit with a lot of rain, thunder and lightning.

“At least this week-end, we finally break the six-weekend streak of recorded snowfall with no worse than passing flurries on Saturday,”

Zahara said. “But that may change later Mon-day with some light snowfall expected as the coldest of the air arrives early next week with highs in the teens and lows in the single digits.”

A river ‘usually’ runs through itWater rushes through a resident’s backyard in Tiskilwa on Thursday morning after melting snow and ice cause a small creek to overflow its banks. A portion of the house spans the creek and typi-cally sits about 5 feet above the water. During the past few weeks, this portion of the creek had slowly filled to within 1 foot of the house with ice. The creek is outside its banks on the south side of town as it runs along Arch Street to where the photographed house sits on the corner of Arch and Main streets. As the creek flows north, there weren’t any other flooding problems.

Annual dress sale to benefit

area youth

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

PRINCETON — Crunch time for the second annual PROMise dress sale is on.

Event coordinator Amy Thompson has been busy sorting, organizing and pricing more than 300 dresses, which will all be on sale on March 1 at the First United Meth-odist Church in Princ-eton.

The dress sale will offer ladies the opportu-nity to purchase new or pre-worn dresses for $50 or less.

Thompson is inspired to host this sale as a way

to give women a break when it comes to dress shopping. Her thought was with the economy not in a good place, why not offer ladies the chance to shop without worrying about spending “an arm and a leg.

“I’ve never been a part of something so positive,” she said. “I’ve never in a million years expected the sale to be this exciting. I do believe it will be just as exciting this year, if not more.”

Shoppers who attend-ed the sale last year can expect about the same routine this year. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Liana Hall of Designs by Liana Rae will be on site to help with any needed altera-tions.

There will also be

shoes, purses, gloves, garters and jewelry for sale. Dresses will run from all sizes; plus sizes are included. There will be dresses for all kinds of events including prom, bridal, flower girl, moth-er-of-the-bride or groom, little black dress, home-coming, graduation, beauty pageants and more.

“Prom was my focus in the beginning, but it has expanded to so much more than that. It’s a dif-ferent kind of promise now,” Thompson said. “I’m hoping people just come and shop and find something they like.”

All proceeds from the sale will be split and donated to the Living Works Suicide Preven-tion program and First United Methodist Youth. Last year, Thompson was able to donate $1,300 from the sale.

“I want the money to go to organizations that affect the youth because it’s about ‘promise’ for the youth,” she explained. “Being the parent of a 13 year old, I’m finding the importance of focus-ing on them because they are our future.”

Thompson feels there are many things out there that can harm the youth these days, and it’s a scary feeling for her.

“We need positive orga-nizations to show differ-ent options for our kids. I know Living Works is suicide prevention, but the ‘living’ part of it is the important thing,” she said.

For those looking to still donate dresses, Thompson will be accept-ing donations up until next Friday, before the sale. Drop off donations at the First United Meth-odist Church.

S H E F F I E L D — T h i s winter’s weather extremes have caused more than snow and temperature headaches. The many days of ther-mometer readings below the freezing mark have resulted in water freez-ing in pipes. The head-aches resulting from a lack of running water due to clogged pipes was brought to the attention of Sheffield Village Board members Monday night.

According to village treasurer Pat Stier, three village households voiced their frustra-tion over having frozen water lines. The villagers wanted to know what the board could do about the problem, which started last week for some. The village wishes there was a quick fix to the prob-lem, but little can be done to unclog the pipes. Mother Nature needs

time to warm the ground up. Trying to find the location of the freeze would involve digging through a frost line that is easily four and one-half feet in places. Once the location was found, a means would still have to be put in place to economically keep the water in the pipes from refreezing.

Following up on the complaints, Stier said village Superintendent Leif Porter informed her he has spoken with those affected by the problem. The simplest advice is to keep water flowing

through the mains by leaving a tap open at a slow drip in order to pre-vent pipes from freez-ing. Stier said the village more than sympathizes with those unable to follow that advice now. Because of the problem, the village has offered to help residents by letting them obtain water from the community center.

Sheffield is one of many communities that have experienced freez-ing water lines this win-ter.

Village Trustee Wes Barron acted as pro-tem for Mayor Bill Rosenow.

Rosenow was unable to attend for personal rea-sons.

In other news, resi-dents should have received notices about rules regarding usage of ATVs and snowmobiles within village boundar-ies. Villagers who intend on using those types of vehicles need the get them registered by con-tacting the village office or speaking with local law enforcement.

The next board meet-ing is scheduled for 7 p.m. March 3.

Control the damageTiskilwa village employees Rick Funderberg and John Nye (in the backhoe) work Thursday to break up the ice outside a Tiskilwa home where the yard was flooded when melting snow and ice caused the creek to overflow its banks. Two homes had water in their basements as a result of Thursday morning’s overflowing creek water. Mayor Randy Philhower and village employees worked to ensure the creek remained open downstream to alleviate any further backup.BCR photo/Donna Barker

Never too cold to readLadd Elementary School third-graders (from left) Ryan Snell, Sarah Beier and Trevor Petzel sort through some books Thursday morning as part of the school’s “Iditiraread Challenge” reading program. To set the atmosphere for the reading program, staff built a milk jug igloo, shown in background, for the reading program. Students, staff and community members brought in some of the needed 400 milk jugs for the igloo, with E.J. Cattani and Sons buying and donating the majority of the jugs. Tee Group Films in Ladd donated plastic and cardboard for the igloo project. Personnel at the Johannes Bus Co. built a dogsled to sit next to the igloo.

Incoming freshmen will have the choice of following one of three tiers of science class-es: Academic, college/career, honors. Classes will be tailored to meet the needs of each group of students.

The board approved the adoption of the new science courses. Class-es will be added each year until the transition has been completed.

The board also adopt-ed honors English and honors U.S. history courses for the 2014-15 school year.

Superintendent Mike Struna gave an update on the board’s Vision 2015 Plan which is being implemented to create a “pathway to success for all students.” The main idea of this plan is

to provide college and career readiness for the students at Hall High School.

In January of their sophomore year, all students will declare a pathway, either career or college, and create a plan to get them to their goals.

“This will get kids to focus on their future,” Struna said.

Many new classes such as accounting, business marketing and welding, to name a few, have been added to help students on their path to a career. The board is also wanting to send additional students to the Area Career Center in the fall.

The board heard a construction update from Tony Orlandi of Leopardo Construction.

Bid Package No. 3, comprising approxi-

mately 52 percent of the project, is currently out for bid. Bids are expected to be award-ed on March 19. This bid package includes fire protection, plumb-ing, HVAC, electrical, masonry, steel, win-dows, doors and roof-ing.

Mass excavation con-cluded in late Janu-ary as scheduled. The building pad has been completed. Visser-ing Construction has started initial layouts for concrete founda-tion work, which is scheduled to be begin this week. This work is scheduled for 35 work-ing days.

“The project is cur-rently meeting its bud-get, schedule, and per-formance goals,” Orlan-di said.

The 2013-14 winter has definitely been one for the record books, Zaha-ra said. As of Tuesday, the Quad Cities area has received 53.3 inches of snow, tallied so far from December through Feb. 18, making this winter the snowiest winter on record. There could still be some more snowfall, he said.

“What has made this season so unique has been the constant barrage of disturbances that have been racing across Iowa and Illinois. Most have been Clippers, where a

few have been originating out of the Southern Rock-ies. These snow amounts haven’t been impres-sive, but they have been numerous,” the meteo-rologist said.

The 2013-14 snowfall is even more memorable because the Quad Cities area actually had snow-fall accumulations before December, Zahara said. The area received 0.4 inch of snow on Oct. 22 and 0.6 inch of snow Nov. 11. With those amounts added to the total, the area actually received a total of 54.3 inches of snow during the past five months, he said.

In addition to being one of the snowiest winters

on record, the extreme cold temperatures of the past three months have made the 2013-14 season as the fifth coldest winter on record, Zahara said.

Though March is just one week away, that doesn’t mean area resi-dents are finished with winter weather just yet, Zahara said.

“The month of March averages around 4 inches of snow, but given how active and cold it has been so far this season, the chances of inching up in the rankings looks likely. Let’s see if March comes in like a lamb,” he said.

Representatives from the school board, the city council and IDOT recently met to discuss the conflicting issues on the matter.

On Wednesday, Superintendent Jim Hermes and Spring Valley Elementary School Board President Ray Nolasco gave an overview of what was discussed.

The biggest surprise they learned was IDOT didn’t need school board approval to con-tinue with the project.

Nolasco said, how-ever, while it doesn’t require school sup-port, IDOT has always had it in the program and prefers the board’s support. The lack of school board support on the application could potentially affect funding on the project.

It was discovered IDOT has only taken a pedestrian count in the area and has not yet completed a traffic study.

“The one question I would have is, maybe

a traffic study would show one way or anoth-er where (the light) should go because one has not been done,” Nolasco said.

While some board members were con-cerned about com-pleting a traffic study before the new Sul-livan’s Foods grocery store is built and the Lincoln School stu-dents were moved over to the JFK location, board member Jack Kusek confirmed there were ways to complete a traffic study by fac-toring in the extra traf-fic.

“Without the traf-fic study, they’re kind of asking us to vote on something that we don’t really have facts on,” he said. “It’s kind of a waste of time …Traffic signals should be placed based on a study.”

Kusek expressed con-cerns about the traf-fic light at Strong and Dakota streets possibly creating congestion in the area, more so than helping the flow of traf-fic.

“It’s going to help it or hurt it,” Nolasco

added.Hermes said in the

last couple of weeks, with the amount of snow and residents not shoveling their side-walks, students have been forced to walk on the street.

“I just have a tough time imagining Strong when we have a super-market and businesses right there and stu-dents walking down the street with snow,” he said. “It’s hard to put students safety out there without doing a study.”

IDOT will be accept-ing questions from the board on the matter. The board planned to gather questions to submit and to schedule another special meet-ing with IDOT.

The board agreed no one has quite the perfect solution in the matter, but they know what’s most important for students.

“I think it’s a piece of information that should be made part of the puzzle before any-body decides,” Nolasco said.

Hall High School BoardSPRING VALLEY — The Hall High School Board met

Feb. 19 and took the following action:• The board approved a holiday waiver which

allows students to attend school on Martin Luther King Day, Lincoln’s birthday, Casmir Pulaski’s birth-day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day. If you attend school on any of these dates, students must be taught a lesson about the reason for the holiday. A school district is required to host a public hearing if they are going to continue to utilize this calendar modification.

• Superintendent Mike Struna provided informa-tion to the board about how the Firearm Concealed Carry Act affects school districts. A person must be 21 years old to be issued a permit. It is illegal to carry a concealed firearm on school property even if you have a permit. Schools must post a sign advising the public that guns are not allowed on school property. Hall has recently posted the decals on the doors.

• Struna said the administration is still researching the possibility of providing every incoming freshman with some sort of tablet, such as an iPad.

• There is an education and economic prosperity meeting scheduled for March 11 at city hall.

• After a closed session, the board accepted with regret the retirement requests of Pete Kasperski and Joe Panzica, both effective June 30.

The next meeting is at 6 p.m. March 19 in the library.

Joseph Terando

We got a puzzle. I’m not sure what prompted us to buy it, but the design of a collage of coffee cups was appealing. The box clearly stated “500 pieces.” It seemed like a good winter activity. We opened the box and poured it out on an old enamel table in the kitchen, immediately catching the puzzle bug.

I have no idea why we were somewhat obsessed with putting together this puz-zle, but it was difficult to walk by the puzzle pieces without stopping at that table and finding a piece or two that would fit. Other times, several minutes would go by, as piece after piece were fit together. The entire puzzle took one week. We were pretty proud of our handiwork.

OK, we couldn’t wait to go out and get another one. Since we accomplished the 500-piece puzzle in such a short time, we opted for a 750-piece one this time.

Mistake.This puzzle has an intricate design of front

doors. It was rather daunting, and the box laid unopened on that same enamel table for a couple of weeks. Finally, though, I opened it up, and was quite surprised. The 750 pieces looked more like 7,500 pieces, and each piece was very small. I put the lid back on the box and continued to ignore it.

Remember those puzzles you had as a kid? You sorted through the pieces, searching for all the ones with a straight edge, since those pieces would create the border of your picture. Then you started filling in the blank space inside the border; before long, your picture was complete. Not so easy.

I stood in front of the puzzle pieces and attempt-ed to find the ones with the straight edges. I’m sure we spent hours on that task alone. Finally accomplishing the border wasn’t very satisfying, especially with what seemed like a bazillion more pieces staring back at me from inside the box. To make matters worse, it was difficult to actually see any of the patterns on the pieces with my not-so-young eyes. And on top of that, it was difficult to tell if the pieces really fit, or they just kind of fit ... which usually meant they didn’t fit at all.

And so it was the other night when I pulled up a kitchen chair to the table and sat before a moun-tain of puzzle pieces that had yet to find a home. I attempted a few pieces that didn’t come close to fitting and sorted through the mountain of remain-ing puzzle pieces. Before I knew it ... I was lost in thought instead of focusing on this collage of front doors before me.

Probably 30 minutes went by before I came to a realization that has continued to knock on the front door in my own mind. I found it rather ironic that night that as I sat before this conglomeration of puzzle pieces, of how much this puzzle resem-bled my life ... maybe your life too?

You see, when we first start out, we are given a lot of guidelines about life ... kind of like the border pieces of the puzzle before me. And then ... a myriad of circumstances/experiences happen in our lives — kind of like the myriad of puzzle pieces before me. Like we attempt to make all those puzzle pieces fit inside the border, so do we attempt to make all of life’s experiences/circum-stances fit too. Sometimes the pieces fit; some-times they don’t ... as we attempt to finish our own personal picture.

Putting together the puzzle — whether it’s the one on the old, antique enamel table or the one of my life — is a process. And when you finally put that last piece into the jigsaw puzzle — or you take your last breath and finish your personal puzzle, you end up with a picture that tells the trials and tribulations, the good and the bad, the irregular issues and the common pieces that make up your life.

Puzzling? Perhaps I shouldn’t get so nutty about making all the pieces fit ... rather just enjoy the process of putting all those pieces together.

Whenever something bad hap-pens in our house, I tell my mom, “It could always be worse.” But I think, so far, this story takes the cake.

A few weeks ago my aunt called my mom and said that her daugh-ter was diagnosed with a terrible disease called lice. This seemed extremely funny at the time until my mom remembered we had seen them the day before, and the likelihood that nobody had touched heads was slim to noth-ing.

My mom freaked out and called our Aunt Pam who is an expert on lice. She worked at Lincoln School for years as the secretary and has checked kids for lice many times. She agreed to come out later that afternoon and perform a full head check on everyone. To my mom’s relief, everybody came out clear.

We didn’t give it another thought until about two weeks later on a Sunday evening. My sister, Faustina, walked out of the living room with both hands on her head scratching like a ban-shee. She said, “My head itches.”

My mom didn’t even bother to check for lice because she knew. It was the coldest day of the year, and my mom didn’t want to drive into town to go to Walmart, so she found a home remedy concoction on the Internet and put it togeth-er. It was made up of lavender oil, tea tree oil and shampoo. She then started treating all the girls’ heads.

The directions on the Internet said to put the concoction into your hair, and then leave it in for one hour with a shower cap on. Of course, a shower cap in our house is just a joke. They would become

dress up items before anyone had a chance to use them, so my mom had to improvise. She thought a Walmart sack should do the trick, and she tied them on our heads. We were able to get my youngest sister, Patience, to cooperate by having her copy Faustina. At first she was really excited, but about 30 minutes into the treatment, Patience went missing. We found her hiding in a corner with her bag off of her head. She seemed very ashamed but flatly refused to put it back on. We tried to talk her into wearing a pretty polka dot sack from Gymboree, but the thrill of wearing a bag on your head wears off fast ... and nobody wanted to argue with a very strong-willed 2 year old.

The entire lice treatment had to be done every day for two weeks and included drying all of the bed-ding for 25 minutes each day and picking the nits out of their hair. My mom performed the treatment on Patience and Faustina but did not continue to do herself or me because we did not have lice.

On Day 5 of the treatment pro-cess, my mom took a break from it all and gave birth to our little brother, Angelo. She continued the extremely time-consuming process on Day 7 when Angelo was less than 2 days old. My Aunt Pam helped immensely by taking Faustina and Patience for a “girls” day. She treated their hair again and gave them makeovers. I am

trying to imagine them wearing a Walmart sack on their heads while getting makeovers ...

Our lice issues were put out of our minds with the end of the two-week treatment. It was joy-fully forgotten. A couple weeks passed quickly with all the excite-ment of our family happenings.

Then we all gathered at my Grandma Susan’s house to watch the Super Bowl. My mom wanted to check my cousins’ heads to make doubly certain they were lice free, so they couldn’t pass the problem back to us. She discov-ered my younger cousin had lice when they originally thought he was clear. She knew that an easy way to deal with boys that had lice was to just shave their hair really short. My cousin was all for the idea, so my mom proceeded.

After she was finished and we had cleaned up all of the hair, I started freaking out that my head itched. My mom said I was just being paranoid, but she agreed to check me. She made a careful and thorough check of my head, and sad to say, she found some nits. So, after all the stressful, tedious and time-consuming procedures, we had to start over. Guess what? I found nits in my mom’s hair too!

My mom splurged for shower caps this time, and we have the whole lice treatment down to a science. Everyone in the house is getting treated this time because nobody wants to go through this again. It has definitely been a very stressful few weeks in our house, but, “It could always be worse.”

Amelia Bystry, 15, resides in rural Princeton. You can con-tact Amelia [email protected].

We have all met or know some-one who has a special calm about them. If we spend some time with them, we begin to realize that it is more than a calmness; it is deeper and more lasting. Each time we are with them, we feel better afterwards, or if only seeing them once we come away wishing we could spend more time with them.

What is it about these encoun-ters that we always remember and want to repeat?

There are religious folks, but this is different. I choose to call these folks spiritual or having spir-ituality. I have made a list of some characteristics (qualities) these folks always display.

They have good manners, empa-thy, attentiveness to others and are good listeners. They don’t

seem to ever be in a hurry, so they seem calm and don’t show stress or worry. They are kind, genuine and have a great sense of humor, and are the first to make fun of themselves. They don’t gos-sip or have harsh remarks about others. Good news about others pleases them, and they celebrate other’s success. They also help others succeed and thrive.

How do we become more like these people without imitating them?

We learn how they prepare for

the day, and who and what they study. What is their philosophy, and what do they value? What do they eat, and do they exercise? Yes, really.

I don’t believe in turning our-selves into a duplication of these people. I am suggesting if you admire these qualities, we all can develop these in ourselves. What a benefit to our families, friends and the world if we could cause an epidemic of spirituality.

I plan to concentrate on these qualities and see if I can at least show some serenity to others.

Spring really will come — it is promised. Don’t forget to be kind while you wait.

Considerations by Nedda

This, that and the odder

Puzzling

Politics as usual?To the Editor,

The original idea of the American Revolution was to raise the level of educa-tion for all citizens to a better life without being subjected to British rule. Also make them respon-sive to the ideas and senti-ments of the constitution along with the freedom to worship as they please. All Americans should under-stand the workings of a democracy and even com-prehend the virtues and limitations of capitalism.

But we have failed. Our educational system has not educated, and we have been unrespon-sive to the laws and regulations that govern our country. The people in our country are losing influence in both houses of Congress.

Congress has the low-est approval rating that has ever been noted. Because of this, many in the country are cry-ing for term limits. One reason is that those in Congress, after all these years, failed to inform

the voters they had the ability to have inside trading while voting to send people to jail for misuse of insider trading.

All the members of Congress were eligible for insider trading which refers to anyone who has knowledge of facts not available to the gen-eral public. An insider is liable for insider stock trading who fails to dis-close material non-public information, before trad-ing on it and thus makes secret profits. We, how-ever, never knew that

“our” congressmen had insider trading ability.

The impression is that members of Congress when elected are vir-tually poor as church mice and end up mil-lionaires. Voters feel this is uncalled for, and must be stopped. The cry is — throw the bums out, how-ever some members are decent politicians. Where do we draw the line — term limits, or politics as usual?

Floyd Ham to speak at BCGS meetingPRINCETON — The Bureau

County Genealogy Society will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Society Library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

The program speaker will be Floyd Ham, a member of the Henry County Genealogical Society. His topic will be “Illi-nois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Genealogy.” He has spent the last seven years

searching through records and databases and has learned to be very frugal in the process. He has become an expert at using primary sources such as birth certificates, marriage licens-es, death certificates, probate records, etc. and in knowing how to acquire these sources of information, especially in regards to FOIA. This program is free and open to the public.

The Society will also host a free writing workshop on March 15 to train and assist the public in how to write an obituary. This workshop will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Leav-ing behind a partially drafted obituary for loved ones is a thoughtful act and will better ensure that your own obituary would be accurate and pleasing to you. The workshop could

also be useful in training you to write obituaries for other fam-ily members. No reservation is needed but would be helpful to the committee in anticipating the audience size.

For more information, call 815-979-3133 or stop in between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, or the first Satur-day of each month.

Double trouble

Kelly, ICC looking for history to repeatBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

PRINCETON — Things worked out really well the last time Illinois Central College volleyball coach Sue Sinclair paid a visit to Princ-eton High School.

In 2009, she signed former Princeton Tigress Leah Shaw and the two of them helped lead the Lady Cougars to a national cham-pionship later that fall. Shaw was named as a First Team All-Tour-nament.

On Tuesday, Sinclair revisited PHS to sign Tigresses standout set-

ter Michelle Kelly. Sinclair would like none better than to see history repeat itself.

“It worked out pretty good for us,” Sinclair said of her first PHS connection with Shaw. “So you go back to the same pond when you have success. I’m excited to get another player from Andy (PHS coach Puck) as much as I am get-ting Michelle. I know what she’s going to come in fundamental wise. I have a lot of respect for what Andy has done for athletes as a person on and off the floor because again that’s really a big piece for us.”

A two-time BCR Player of the

Year and Three Rivers All-Confer-ence pick in volleyball, Kelly is also adept at kicking the white ball in soccer, the reigning BCR Player of the Year. In the end, Kelly said she simply, “knew I wasn’t ready to be done (with volleyball).

“I started looking and knew (ICC) had a pretty good program in the area, because I didn’t want to move too far from home so this seemed like a pretty good option,” said Kelly, who also looked at IVCC and Sauk Valley.

At this point, Kelly is not sure

Sophomore C.J. Rhodes of Princeton was presented with the Steve Crick Award at Illinois Valley Commu-nity College this week.

The award is given in memory of the late IVCC coach to the women’s basket-ball player who exemplified the best attitude on and off the bas-ketball court. It was not awarded last year.

Crick coached at IVCC from 2001-2009, pass-ing away from cancer.

• Former St. Bede Bruin and IVCC standout Alec Schwab had a memorable game for William Penn University on Feb. 8. The junior guard scored 43 points on 13 of 28 shooting from (9 of 20 on threes). According to school records, it is the fourth highest point total in program history.

To no surprise, the performance gave Schwab honors as the Midwest Collegiate Con-ference Player of the Week. He was previous-ly named as WP’s Male Athlete of the Month in January.

Schwab is averaging 13.8 points on the sea-son. He is averaging 19.7 ppg since sitting out two games with an injury.

wood had a sweetheart of a Valentine’s Day

for Lewis University in the Chicagoland Intercollegiate Indoor Classic in Naperville. The freshmen from Princeton won the triple jump with a provision-al mark of 18-9 3/4 and placed fourth in the long jump (17-11 /12).

Lewis fin-ished with 153.5 points to win the 17-team meet.

Host North Central Col-lege took first place on the men’s side of the meet. A contrib-uting adrenal was weight man Adam Weidner of Bureau Valley. The NCC sopho-more placed fifth

in the weight throw (51-11) and sixth in the shot put (48-11).

• Mount Mercy Uni-versity sophomore Liz Mosbach won the 400 meters (1:01:35) in addition to three other place-finishes in the Cornell College Invite on Feb. 1. Her brother, T.J. Mosbach, a senior, placed second in the 3,000 meters (9:12.95) and third in the mile run (4:36.47) for the Mus-tangs.

GRANVILLE — Talk about your double trou-ble.

Annawan got 29 points each from senior cen-ter Celina VanHyfte and senior guard Cierra Davis to power its way past host Putnam County to capture the Granville 1A sectional championship at R.M. Germano Gymna-sium Thursday night.

The Bravettes’ duo accounted for 26 of their team’s 28 points in the first quarter, staking Annawan to a 28-11 lead.

Annawan took a 45-16 halftime lead, and while Putnam County outscored the Bravettes 13-6 to open the third quarter to trim their deficit to 22, the outcome was never in doubt.

“First half they came out to play and we just didn’t. We can make tons of excuses on why we didn’t, but we didn’t. And that’s all it boils down to,” Putnam Coun-ty coach James Barnett said. “They’re No.1 for a reason. It’s not a fluke. They’ve been No. 1 since the last day of last year

Princeton High School senior Michelle Kelly signs to play volleyball for Illinois Central College in East Peoria. She was joined for her signing by PHS coach Andy Puck and ICC coach Sue Sinclair.

if she wants to pursue volleyball beyond her two-year stay at ICC. She wants to pursue a nursing degree and will concentrate on general studies at ICC.

Sinclair said she feels Kelly can contribute in a lot of ways for the Cougars.

“She’s a very analyti-cal-type player so in the role of setter, that’s huge. That allows us to think things from the strategic standpoint and scout-ing the opponent,” she said. “Secondly, I think she’s extremely athletic. I love that she’s a two-sport athlete. I think the fact she understands all

the angles in the sport of soccer honestly plays a part defensively in the sport of volleyball. That’s a great attribute to bring to the court for us.”

ICC was ranked sixth in the nation last year.

Kelly is the second member of the PHS vol-leyball team to commit to playing collegiately. Teammate Becca Hult signed over the holidays with IVCC.

Puck said Kelly made a big impression from an early age at PHS and played like a coach on the floor for him.

“I’m truly, truly going to miss her,” said Pick, noting she will return for summer camp to work with the future Michelle

Kellys of PHS. “I’ve known Coach Sinclair for many, many years. It’s a wonderful program She’ll be able to com-pete at a national level at junior college and it will be fun for her. She’ll get to travel a lot and play some very good teams.

“And if he chooses to go on after two years. Sue has always has been wonderful in giving the kids option on where they go and making sure they are happy.”

Shaw continued her volleyball career for Division I Bowling Green University, reaching the NCAA Tournament her senior year.

Girls sectional basketball roundup

High anxiety finals for Three Rivers girlsBy Kevin Hieronymus

[email protected]

The Three Rivers Con-ference won one of three sectional championship games Thursday with Prophetstown the lone survivor.

At Aurora: Prophet-stown, the Three Rivers North champion, outlast-ed Byron 55-53 at Aurora Christian. Junior Clare Kramer scored a game-winning layup with 5 sec-onds left and then inter-cepted a Byron pass at half court to seal the win.

“I didn’t think it would feel this good,” said Proph-ets junior Corrie Reiley, wiping away tears. “With everything we’ve been through these last two games, to have such a huge cheering section and so much support, this means a lot for us as a team, as a program, as a school, and

as a whole town.”The Prophets (28-2)

will face El-Paso Gridley (25-3) at the Monmouth Super-Sectional Monday night for the right to go to State.

Prophetstown was led

by Katie Stafford (19 points, 8 rebounds) and Kramer (16 points).

At Minonk: Fate was not with Sherrard Thurs-day in the Fieldcrest 2A sectional finals. The Three Rivers South champ lost to El-Paso Gridley 49-47 in double overtime on a last-second shot.

EPG’s Mackenzie Hick-ey made not one, but two shots at the buzzer, including the game-win-ner as time expired in the second overtime. She also hit the game-tying shot from the right base-line at the end of the first overtime. Hickey only had one other basket in the game.

EPG also knocked out Sherrard in last year’s sectional finals.

Libby Fry led Sherrard (27-3) with 12 points.

Sherrard would have faced Prophetstown in

all-Three Rivers show-down had it been able to survive Hickey’s heroics.

At Forreston: Amboy fell to Lanark Eastland 55-54 in overtime. East-land’s Hannah Hake scored all five of East-land’s points in overtime including a free-throw with no time on the clock, sending her bench and crowd into a frenzy. Hake finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Eastland advances to the DeKalb Super-Sec-tional on Monday to face the Little Ten’s Hinckley-Big Rock Royals. HBR was a 55-31 winner over Chicago Luther North at Elgin. Lauren Paver led HBR with 21 points.

HBR seeks a return to the state finals, having won back to back titles in 2009 and 2010.

BCRInsider: PC has the top seed, but has stumbled of late, going 1-4 heading into Friday’s game with Stark County. Henry has the best record coming into the field. No one may be play-ing as strong of late as St. Bede. The Bruins took a 15-11 record into Friday’s game at No. 1 ranked Rockridge. St. Bede has the benefit of playing in 1A after previously playing at 2A since the four-class system. Bruins coach Mike Kilmartin said their schedule in the Three Rivers South, includ-ing the likes of the Rockets and state-ranked Kewanee, has them well prepared for the postsea-son. ... PC, beat Henry 70-46 to win the Tri-County Conference tournament championship after falling to the Mallards 63-48 earlier in January. Coach Josh Nauman said he’d rather have the 2 seed than the 1. “I don’t like having to play a good team when it is our first game and their second. I’d rather get the regional jitters out of the way in an easy game,” he said.

St.BedecoachMikeKilmartinsays: “We have great respect for all teams in regional but like our chances.”

BCRinsider: The Irish are the defending regional champ and primed to repeat. They have avenged two of the four losses, defeating Mendota 69-51 and Coal City 56-39. Seneca has beaten the only team in the field it has faced, defeating Hall 60-52 in the Irish’s Thanksgiving Tournament. ... The regional has plenty of firepow-er in Bureau Valley’s Parker Neuhalfen (18.7 ppg), Princeton’s Garrett Duffin (17.6). Hall’s Miguel Villareal (15.2 ppg), Prophetstown’s Ethan Howard (13.8) and Seneca’s Conlon Callahan (13.6). ... Bureau Valley junior standout Tommy Johnston sustained an ankle injury Tuesday and his status is questionable for next week. ... The Irish average 56.7 ppg and give up 44.3 ppg.

and I don’t foresee it changing any time soon. That’s a tremendous team they’ve got there.”

With their third straight sectional championship, Annawan (27-4) advanc-es to the Bloomington Super-Sectional to face Cissna Park (22-8), a 46-43 winner over host Gilman Iroquois West. Game time is 7 p.m. Mon-day at the Shirk Center on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University.

“We just hope to keep it going,” said Annawan coach Jason Burkiewicz, a Spring Valley native and Hall High School graduate

“We’re definitely excit-ed to get this trophy. We know we have to work hard Monday to get back to state,” said senior guard Megan Foes, a Min-eral product.

“We’re extremely thankful and happy we’re able to share this great experience, and we can’t wait,” Cierra Davis said.

VanHyfte hit her team’s first two buckets of the game from the inside. Then Davis hit two straight beyond the 3-point arc and would hit four treys before the quar-ter was finished. Davis lived up to the challenge Burkiewicz gave her at practice Wednesday.

“Coach gave me a chal-lenge to shoot the best I can in the postseason, and I think I stepped up to the challenge. I’m excited he gave me that challenge,” Davis said.

“I was kind of smiling. I told her in practice yes-terday, ‘You’re too darn good, you need to start hitting every 3 that you shoot.’ She comes out and starts this game and hits every one,” Burkie-wicz said. “When Celina

draws that much atten-tion down low, we’re going to have our shoot-ers open, and she took advantage tonight.

“They came out strong. It’s good to have some-one inside and outside, because they don’t know where to go on defense,” Foes said.

Barnett said Davis didn’t show up on the PC radar.

“We’ve been unsure of what Davis can do, so we were just going to play her straight up. Then she hit her first two shots, and we never made the adjustment. We should have known from there ... if anybody hits their first two, they’re prob-ably going to keep going. You’ve got to get out on them,” he said.

The proud Lady Pan-thers showed some life to start the second half. Senior Carly Gonet hit back-to-back 3s and Daniela Pavlovich added another to make it 49-27. PC maintained a 22-point deficit when Gonet hit 1 of 2 free throws with 2:18 left in the third quarter, but got no closer.

“I was very brunt with the girls, this is your last 16 minutes. They’re all thinking it, let’s just say it. And they final-ly relaxed, moved the ball, hit some shots and played some basketball. I was proud of the way they played in the second

half,” Barnett said.PC was led by Gonet

with 14 points, Pavlovich with 12 and Allison Voss with 11.

Internet in the life of a cattle farmer

BV FFA visits Monsanto headquarters

Farm Bureau plans Lady Landowners seminar

Hello everyone, I am Jessica Carlson and cur-rently a seventh-grader at Malden Grade School.

Along with being on the high honor roll, I also keep very busy with extracurricular activities at my school. I play three sports: Vol-leyball, basketball and track, plus I am also preparing for this year’s speech competition and Scholastic Bowl season. I have also been kept very busy this year as the secretary of my school’s Student Coun-cil.

Although school keeps me busy, I am also very active outside of school. Music keeps me very busy, especially since I play three instru-ments. I have played the piano since the end of third grade, the alto saxophone since I joined my school’s band in fifth grade and the flute since the end of my sixth grade year. I am also very involved in the Dover-Berlin 4-H Club, being the secretary for what will soon be three years. I take a large variety of 4-H projects, including cooking, sewing, visual arts, public speaking, cake decorating, horti-culture and beef.

My family has been involved in the Sim-mental cattle breed for many years now. We have shown cattle and sold registered animals to other cattle produc-ers. I have shown Sim-mental cattle for what will soon be five years. I have competed at many different levels of cattle shows such as, county shows, state shows, regional junior Sim-mental shows and even national junior Simmen-tal shows.

When it comes to pre-paring for the next show season or even maintain-ing your beef herd, the Internet plays a large role.

There are many dif-ferent websites I use when it comes to seeking advice and instructions. I find discussion sites very helpful for advice on sub-jects, such as showman-ship skills and feeding suggestions. These sites also offer useful informa-tion on herd health man-agement, nutrition ideas and even management of your whole beef herd. Whenever a new beef product is made avail-able, you can research it on the Internet to learn more about its use in your herd.

The Internet also plays a big part in the decision of which bulls we use to breed the cows in our herd. Websites by sire/artificial insemination companies provide vid-eos, pictures and data to compare bulls and their breeding potential. We also can use the websites of many of the large cattle breeding herds to look at their genet-ics and calves to give us even more information on potential sires for calves. Several evenings of research and a little bit of planning, and I can plan out my next year’s calf crop.

One of the largest changes that have come along in recent years has been the rise of online cattle auctions. This alone has changed the source of purchase for my show animals

and even additions of animals to my family’s herd. Instead of going to live auctions and produc-tion sales, people can sit in the comfort of their homes and bid on cattle on websites that provide catalogs and videos of the animals.

Many breeders and herd owners have con-verted to this method as a way to cut costs and to increase exposure of their herd. It has become an ever-increasing source of marketing animals. Feed-er cattle, bulls, embryos and semen seem to be marketed like this more often.

The Internet has also played a big part in beef promotion. Social media sites are huge in promot-ing beef in the United States and other coun-tries. With the gaining popularity of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, You-Tube and even Pinterest, cattle breeders are taking advantage of the advertis-ing and promotion oppor-tunities.

One of my favorite beef promotions, and one of the best, is a parody to Katie Perry’s song “Roar” called “Chore,” made by the Peterson Farm Broth-ers. This parody, along with many other farm based videos, has offered a very realistic look into the life of a farmer.

As you know, the Inter-net might play a large role in your life, but it plays an even larger role in the life of a farmer. Since my involvement in 4-H, the Internet has really changed the scope of my projects, and will do so even more in the future.

Jessica Carlson is a seventh-grader at Mal-den Grade School and also helps out on her grandfather’s cattle farm in rural Malden.

MANLIUS — On Jan. 29, 15 Bureau Valley FFA students visited the Mon-santo headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., to learn more about the company. The students toured the Mon-santo research center in Chesterfield. They got to see the labs and get a first-hand look at new techniques and technolo-gies surrounding biotech-

nology in agriculture. The students learned about all areas of the biotechnol-ogy in use such as gene-sequencing, entomology, tissue cultures, growth chambers and trait devel-opment.

After lunch, the group went to Monsanto’s corpo-rate headquarters in Creve Coeur, Mo. The students were given a general over-

view of Monsanto’s opera-tions and toured the origi-nal facility. They got to see the technologies Monsanto helped pioneer, such as their seed chippers for both corn and soybeans. After the tour, the group gathered to discuss what they had learned, intern-ships with the company and other opportunities within Monsanto.

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Farm Bureau will hold the first Bureau County Lady Landowner semi-nar at 10 a.m. March 14. A lunch will close the program.

Guest speakers for the event are Timothy Har-ris, executive manager with Capital Ag Prop-erty Services, and Gary Schnitkey, Extension specialist, farm manage-ment, University of Illi-

nois Extension. Topics to be covered are: Types of leases; what a land-owner should have in a lease; what a landowner should do to maintain relationships with farm-ers; an outlook of where the industry is and where it is going; calen-dar of when information should be presented to farmers; and a question session.

This free seminar is being co-sponsored by

AgriEnergy Resources, Bureau County Univer-sity of Illinois Extension, Bureau County Farm Bureau, Bureau County Farm Service Agency, Bureau County Soil and Water District and Bureau County Natural Resources Conservation Service. Reservations are required. To make a reservation, contact the Bureau County Farm Bureau at 815-875-6468 by March 7.

lady Panthers notebook

Seniors put PC girlsbasketball back on the map

By Kevin [email protected]

GRANVILLE — James Barnett said it all start-ed five years ago for the Lady Panthers basketball program when he took over as coach at Put-nam Junior High School and met his future high school players for the first time.

“We had a camp five years ago, and I walked into the gym the first time with them, and that’s where it all started and it progressed from there. What they’ve done the last two years is tre-mendous,” said Barnett, who took over as the PCHS varsity coach in 2012-13.

“They’ve gotten the younger levels excited now, numbers have start-ed to come up and we have girls in the junior high talking about bas-ketball now, which is something that hasn’t happened at PC before, so it’s a very exciting future we have here.”

The PC five seniors — Carly Gonet, Daniela Pavlovich, Taylor Pettit,

Venessa Voss and Stepha-nie Wilson — are responsi-ble for putting PC girls bas-ketball back on the map.

Before they entered the halls of PCHS, the Lady Panthers had endured a 1-25 season. The senior class will walk out with a 46-11 combined record over the past two years

with two regional cham-pionships and a sectional title game appearance. They ended a 29-year regional drought.

It all ended where it started with 80-50 loss to No. 1 ranked Annawan in Thursday’s sectional finals at R.M. Germano Gymnasium.
