Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?There’s a better chance for a warm Christmas!

By Goldie [email protected]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but will it be white?

After a back and forth guessing game last week, it seems the chances are diminishing as we count

down the final days before Christmas.

A white Christmas is defined as at least an inch of snow on the ground on Christmas Day, according to a press release issued by the Illinois State Water Survey, Prairie Research Institute.

“In general, the odds (of a white Christmas) are about

40-60 percent in the north-ern third of Illinois, 20-40 percent in Central Illinois and 0-20 percent in South-ern Illinois,” Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel pre-dicted last week.

AccuWeather also released a report later last week stating a major storm centered on Christmas Eve would affect the Mid-west and East with areas of strong winds, heavy snow, torrential rain and thun-derstorms. The report said

those with direct or con-necting flights to New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit and Chicago should be prepared for disruptions and delays due primarily to wind, rain, thunderstorms, and in some cases, snow.

On a local level, however, the WQAD News 8 is report-ing a more mild prediction.

Today’s (Tuesday) fore-cast is showing tempera-tures to reach the low

to mid-40s as clouds and showers hang around. On Christmas Eve, the tem-perature is supposed to drop back down into the upper 30s and we could see light showers, but they will be brief and quickly move out. On Christmas Day, WQAD’s forecast is show-ing sunshine with a high of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and only a 10 percent chance of precipitation.

Bob Byrne of Princeton, who is with the National

Weather Service Cooper-ative Observer Program, is also predicting a green Christmas this year with the reports of temperatures lin-gering around the 40s.

We may not get that white Christmas, but despite the small chance of snow, at least the dry weather con-ditions and sunny sky will allow for pleasant traveling in the area on Christmas Day.

20/20 Vision for Illinois schoolsNew plan being looked

at by area districts


School boards around the county are now being introduced to a new state-wide education plan — Illinois Vision 20/20.

Led by the Illinois Asso-ciation of School Admin-istrators (IASA), Vision 20/20 is a long-range blue-print for improving public education throughout the entire state.

The education plan focuses on four policy pri-orities: 21st Century learn-ing, highly-effective edu-cators, shared account-ability, and equitable and adequate funding.

At last week’s Spring Valley Elementary School Board meeting, Superin-tendent Jim Hermes talked briefly about the plan to board members.

Hermes explained state-wide education organiza-tions and several educa-tors have come together to develop the plan. He also pointed out how SVE Principal Kim Lisan-by-Barber was one of the local administrators who worked on the plan.

“These are goals that we hope to get legislators to take seriously,” he said.

Hermes said many edu-cation associations will begin writing letters of support for Vision 20/20, and many school boards will adopt resolutions to also show their support in the plan.

“It’s a lot of really good ideas to help students in Illinois,” he said.

Hermes asked board members to review the plan and said he would be bringing it up again at the January meeting.

Last week, Bureau Val-ley Superintendent Steve Endress also addressed his board briefly about Vision 20/20.

“This is an effort led by IASA to put forth a for-ward thinking plan based on good decisions, good data and good motives,” he said. “They’re trying to have a positive voice for the future and taking back the positive direction of legislation, instead of leg-islation happening in pub-lic schools and we being reactionary.”

Endress said state edu-cation organizations that have contributed to the plan would be presenting the legislation. He named many of the organizations involved including Illi-nois Association of School Business Officials; Illinois Principals Association; Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools; Illinois Asso-ciation of School Boards and the Superintendents’ Commission for the Study of Demographics and Diversity.

“They’re adding more organizations all the time,” he said.

Endress compared Illi-nois Vision 20/20 to BVi-sion 20/20, which is a new advisory committee within the district made up of 10 teachers and five admin-istrators.

Santa shares his secretsPrior to his trip around the

world, Santa took time to chat with the BCR


With only two days left until Christmas, Santa Claus is busy making final preparations before

his long ride around the world Wednesday night.

The North Pole is full of excitement in the remain-ing hours before the grand takeoff.

The elves are dashing around quickly wrap-

ping and packing the last bundle of gifts; Santa is making final adjustments to his naughty and nice lists; Rudolph and the other reindeer are getting in their last-minute naps before they saddle up to pull the sleigh; and Mrs. Claus has laid out San-ta’s nicest red suit and is now sewing on new gold buttons to ensure he stays warm in the night sky.

On Wednesday, Santa

will again set out to deliv-er toys to all the good girls and boys — it’s an annual tradition that began hun-dreds of years ago and yet one that Santa looks for-ward to more and more each year.

With all that’s left to do, Santa recently took a few minutes from his home in the North Pole to answer some questions from the

A gingerbread dream house come trueKaren

Henrikson wins Metro

Center contestBy Zita HenneBerry

[email protected]

Visions of sugarplums ... and gingerbread hous-es have always danced in Karen Henrikson’s head.

“I’ve always wanted to make a gingerbread house, and I never have,” said Henrikson of Walnut

About 25 years ago, Hen-rikson picked up a book with a Victorian style gin-gerbread house on its cover, determined to one day make that house.

“That book has been in my Christmas decor every year since then,” said Hen-rikson. “Every year I was determined I was going to make that house; and every year I did not have time nor the reason to make it.”

The Metro Center’s Gin-gerbread House Contest was the perfect time for Henrikson to finally make her dream a reality.

“Finally when they had that contest announced, I thought, ‘Aw! This is the year; I am going to do it’.”

As the winner of the con-test, Henrikson will receive a free one-year member-

ship to the Bureau Coun-ty Metro Center. It was the perfect incentive, said Henrikson.

Henrikson, a mother of six, is also an out of the home cake decorator. Her Victorian style masterpiece took a solid four days of work, Henrikson said.

While her children loved to watch her work and see what she was making, Henrikson worked alone.

The process had a lot of

architectural detail. That part was probably her least favorite. After finding her pattern, Henrikson took an entire day to enlarge it four times. Her pattern would require 37 pieces and near endless amounts of work.

With Oreos on the roof, pretzels for a fence, and frosting as its structural glue, Henrikson’s ginger-bread house could last a while. She detailed the outside of the house, even

adding snow on the roof, and pine tree out back; there’s a snowman out front.

Henrikson didn’t stop there. Inside the house people can see a candy bar grandfather clock, ginger-bread chairs and Christ-mas tree, a cat and its food dish, and even three pic-tures on the wall, each with a different scene.

If she would have planned ahead, said Hen-

rikson, she would have loved to include a fireplace.

Henrikson will be leav-ing her house on display at the Princeton Public Library until Christmas. While she knows she won’t keep it forever, Henrikson is still considering letting her kids eat it after Christ-mas Day.

Henrikson said she has always wanted to make a gingerbread house but never had. The prize of a one year membership to the Metro Center, said Henrikson, was the perfect incentive.

Flying Tigers soar into board meetingTechnology Club gives

presentationBy Zita HenneBerry

[email protected]

PRINCETON — At Wednesday night’s school board meeting Prince-ton High School’s (PHS) Flying Tigers Technolo-gy Club presented their national prize winning presentation.

PHS seniors Josh Wray, Ian Nichols, Jacob and Luke Gleason, Elliott Beetz, and juniors Jacob

Bickett and Clayton Zele-nik gave their Real World Challenge (RWC) Presen-tation Wednesday night.

“We need to recognize these young gentlemen here for their hard work, their families, the board, and really want to say from a community orga-nization there is a lot of good work going on, and we very much appreciate that,” said Bureau Coun-ty Farm Bureau President Bill Naffziger.

Members of the crowd congratulated the club and commended the pas-sion and work put into their project.

The young men said this project has led to

more than just a fourth-place national prize. The work they have done for the RWC has led to both school and paid summer internships at LCN for many of them.

The club explained how LCN helped direct them in the right direction on their RWC project. The Flying Tigers appreciat-ed the time LCN took out of their day to help with whatever the club may need.

Club sponsor Tim Ciesi-elski contacted Caterpil-lar, said project manager Josh Wray, securing infor-mation on even more paid summer internship opportunities.

“This program has really developed a lot of opportunities for us,” said Wray, adding six out of the seven club members plan on going into engineering.

“Outside of the school and your families, your community is proud of you too,” said Illinois Val-ley Community College Board member Laurie Bonucci.

In other business, the PHS Board congratulated the Students of the Month: Arraia Hicks, Stephenny Farrell, Emily Boes, Rachel Miller, Trevor Jenkins and Casey Schertz.

Principal Andy Ber-linski announced PHS has 11 state scholars

from the current senior class: Taylor Clark, Gar-rett Duffin, Jacob Glea-son, Nicole Holland, Brit-tany Krohn, Chloe Lund, Grace Minn-ick, Drew Pranka, Kim-berly Schlesinger, Alison Van Den Bussche and Joshua Wray.

“I would like to com-mend them on behalf of the staff and the board for their hard work and dedication here at Princ-eton High School,” said Berlinski.

In order to be con-sidered eligible, he explained, students must perform in the top half of their class and score in the 95 percentile on the

ACT, SAT and PSAE.“Each of these stu-

dents should be proud of the fact that they have earned a very prestigious place among the most gifted students from across the state of Illi-nois. I am very proud of each of them,” he said.

Board members also accepted the resignation of Steve Amy from assis-tant football coach and approved the 2014 Tax Levy.

Board President John Young thanked Amy for the time he has dedicat-ed to the students and the school.

staff at the Bureau County Republican.

BCR: How many elves does it take to make all the toys for children all over the world?

Santa: That is such a good question! And one with a simple answer... It takes ALL of them. Each and every elf is busy work-ing on Christmas gifts for children of all ages all around the world. They are either working, sleeping or eating. And they will be busy until the sleigh is load-ed and on its way!

BCR: What are some ways to stay on the nice list each year?

Santa: That’s actually pretty easy. Those wishing to get on ... and stay on ... the nice list should be kind to all around them. They should do what par-ents, teachers, bus drivers and ministers (and others) ask of them ... and do it quickly with a smile! From years of observing the nice and naughty lists, it would appear that those on the naughty list put forth a lot of effort to be bad. It’s just easier to be nice.

BCR: What do the rein-deer have to do to get ready for the big ride on Christ-mas Eve?

Santa: They spend a lot of time resting and eating. As you can imagine, a flight

of such magnificence and importance burns a great deal of energy. To be pre-pared, they eat lots of hay and oats ... and a special speed-generating supple-ment known only to Santa and the elves charged with reindeer care.

BCR: What time do you leave the North Pole on Christmas Eve to get around the world in one night?

Santa: Unfortunately, that tidbit of information is classified. If everyone knew when I began my journey, there would be no surprise in my arrival. Let me just say that I leave in time to make all my stops efficient-ly and on a timely basis.

BCR: How fast do Rudolph and the reindeer have to travel to make the trip in one night?

Santa: What an interest-ing question! And a ques-tion that I have no answer for right now. A state troop-er in Ohio tried to clock me with the radar gun a few years ago. The radar gun blew up! Oh my!!! Now all radar guns carry a warning about trying to determine the speed of Santa’s sleigh. I can tell you one thing ... the space agency is inter-ested in my speed technol-ogy. It’s been reported that I have passed rocket ships on my journey.

BCR: What’s your favor-ite kind of cookie you like to get on Christmas Eve?

Santa: Such an easy one!

The cookies that are left by boys and girls all over the world are my favorite. I have no ingredients to buy or mix. There’s nothing to bake. No one has to clean the kitchen. So, without a doubt, the ones I find under many Christmas trees are indeed my favorite!

BCR: What do Mrs. Claus and the elves do while you are gone for the night?

Santa: First, they clean up from the days, weeks and months of work. Then, they prepare for a grand party that begins as soon as I return. There’s food of all kinds (no venison). We enjoy music and sto-ries. And, we celebrate our Christmas. When the party ends, we all settle in for a long night’s sleep.

BCR: Does Santa use

GPS?Santa: In the past, I’ve

depended on some well-trained and experienced reindeer. Having made the trip so many times, they know the way to pull the sleigh through the white and drifted snow. That being said, sometimes weather, construction and such things leave me no alternative but to reach out for some modern technol-ogy.

BCR: What’s your favor-ite part about living in the North Pole?

Santa: It isn’t the win-ter. The cold can be brutal and unending. In fact, I do believe “cold” was invented at the North Pole. On the positive side, we don’t have much traffic. The beach-es aren’t crowded. Plus, I don’t remember the last time I saw a fly or mosquito

at my home. BCR: How do you keep

warm during your long trip on Christmas Eve night?

Santa: My special suit and boots are a great help. Also, at the speed I trav-el, friction from the atmo-sphere tends to form a warm, protective shield around me and the sleigh. It’s really quite comfort-able.

BCR: Which reindeer is the most stubborn?

Santa: It seems to me that Grumpy is the most stub-born. Oh wait ... my gosh. That’s one of the seven dwarfs. Of the reindeer, it would have to be Don-ner. In German, his name means thunder. Some-times, it would appear his head is as thick and unpre-dictable as the worst of the thunder clouds. On the positive side, he is tougher and stronger than the rest. He never misses a trip. And, his efforts make the load easier to carry for the rest of the reindeer.

BCR: Does Mrs. Claus make Santa a big, hot meal each year before the big trip? If so, what does she make?

Santa: She used to make me a wonderful, stick-to-the-ribs meal. Beef. Pork. Potatoes. Vegetables. Pie and cake. Mmmmmm. But, a few years ago, she got a job at Walmart. That was the end of that! Now, I make a few sandwiches. And fill my thermos with hot tea. At many homes, the kind and generous

families leave me cookies and milk. Some even leave treats for Rudolph and the other reindeer.

BCR: How much training do reindeer have to have before they can take the trip?

Santa: I wish I knew. The same reindeer have been making the trip for so long, that I don’t really recall training them, or how long it took. I can tell you this: They learned well and help make Christmas pos-sible for millions of boys and girls, moms and dads, grandpas and grandmas ... everyone around the world. Christmas would be much less magical without them.

BCR: What’s your Christ-mas wish for every girl and boy?

Santa: Just every girl and boy? How about for every-one? It would be wonder-ful if all of my worldwide friends would go to sleep with their stomachs full of food. All homes would be happy and warm. While they sleep, there would be no danger from harm done by others. Terrible disease would be gone. And they would awake to warm and loving family and friends for all of their lives. But that’s a lot to ask. And I cannot even deliver all that. It’s something to hope and work for each day.

Enjoy a peaceful, bless-ing-filled and safe holi-day. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Princeton Redi-Mix honors WoolleyMore than 20 Redi-Mix trucks followed the funeral procession late Monday morning, as John Woolley of Princeton was laid to rest in Prairie Repose Cemetery in Dover. Woolley had retired from Princeton Redi-Mix after 30 years of full-time service and some part-time work as well. The procession of Redi-Mix trucks was held to honor the former, long-time employee for his service and dedication. Woolley died Dec. 18 after a four-year battle with cancer.

ISP to conduct Nighttime Enforcement PatrolsThe Illinois State Police District 17 will conduct

Nighttime Enforcement Patrols (NITE) in LaSalle Coun-ty during the month of January, according to Captain Robert Atherton.

The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired drivers. Therefore, officers working NITE patrols will be watch-ful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, driving

under the influence (DUI) and are not properly buckled up.

Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. These nighttime patrols are designed to keep roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road and ensuring all vehicle occupants are buckled up.

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety.

From the editor’s desk

It’s Christmas week! Why it seems as if we were just carving our Thanksgiving turkey, doesn’t it? The past four weeks have come and gone quickly. I wish it was possible to savor every day and make it last longer.

I had a telephone call the other day from a friend/read-er, who said she was so taken with the Christmas displays in the store windows, as well as all the lights and deco-rations with which people have decorated their individual homes. She said she knows it takes a lot of effort to put up all the lights and decorations, and she just thought every-one should know there are people out there who appreciate and applaud their efforts.

•••So, what are your plans? Whatever they

are, please be safe when you’re headed to your destination. Please don’t get in such a hurry that you aren’t safe on the highways. It’s better to arrive late ... than not at all.

•••Hats off to the First Lutheran Church in Princeton who

organized a wonderful community event on Sunday, as the church and its congregation invited the community to participate in an old-fashioned Christmas Carol Sing — the church’s gift to the county and beyond. There’s just something about hearing a packed church sing Christmas carols.

Also, another big round of applause to the Princeton Community Band on its concert Sunday. It was another great performance by community musicians who donate their talents, time and the expertise to entertain.

•••Just a reminder: Many of you have given of yourself

and reached down deep to donate to our local food pantries during this holiday season. Please remember the shelves are often quite bare in the local food pantries after Christmas, so your help is always needed to help replenish the shelves. Hunger doesn’t stop after Christ-mas. It’s a daily problem everywhere ... including Bureau County. Thanks to all the folks who made donations, as well as to the people who volunteer their time and energy to work at the pantries in the area.

•••Our Illinois Valley Living winter edition is ready to hit

the streets. Watch for it! It’s a great edition.•••

Thanks to all the comments our staff writers/colum-nists get from you, our readers. Please know your com-ments and words of encouragement mean a lot.

•••Don’t forget your newspaper carrier this Christmas —

especially if he/she does a good job getting you your BCR.•••

Our office will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day so our staff members can celebrate the hol-idays with their loved ones. Likewise, we will have early deadlines throughout the holiday season, so if you have questions, please give us a call.

•••On behalf of the staff at the Bureau County Repub-

lican, I wish you a Merry Christmas — one filled with much love and many memorable moments. Please know you are important to each of us, as we strive to deliver a hometown newspaper in which we can all be proud. Merry Christmas, my friends.

On the street Will you spend more or less this year for Christmas?

“We are spending more this year because there

are grandkids to buy for.”Kathy Layton, Kasbeer

“We will be spending less, mostly because the

kids are getting older and don’t need as much

stuff.”Jim Pinter, Princeton

“I will be spending less because this year I am

paying for presents out of my own pocket.”Noah Irizarry, Princeton

“I will be spending less this year because Christmas

isn’t about presents; it is about spending time with

your family.”Patti Moynihan, Princeton

“We are spending less this year because the kids are getting older, and we are focusing on the

grandchildren more.”John Jesse, Princeton

This, that ... and the odderThe other day, I was sorting though

my huge box of newspaper clippings looking for a column to include with our family Christmas card. After a long time of searching, I found my very first column that was written five years ago. It was about our family Christmas tree shopping experience that year. Much has changed in our family since then, and there are numerous things that remain the same. Because we recently went and picked out a tree for this Christmas, I thought it would be fun to compare all the differences.

Five years ago, we only had seven members in our family. Since then, we have had two new additions. With the new additions and everyone being five years older, there are more opinions and personalities to try and please.

For the first shopping experi-ence, we were all packed into our old suburban. We now have nine family members, and our van only holds eight. This trip required us to take two vehicles instead of one. We choose to take our van and my dad’s truck. Since I can now drive, my mom thoughtfully let me drive the van with Angelo, 11 months, Milo, 12, Faustina, 8, and Simeon, 10, while she stayed with my dad, Justus, 15, and Patience, 3. This was slightly unfair! She hadn’t given me the most considerate riders, and I had to deal with Simeon changing the radio sta-tion every 30 seconds, while Milo and Faustina were requesting their favor-ite movies. Angelo was an angel and spent the whole ride sleeping.

As we were driving to our destina-

tion, I was following my dad because I had no idea where the tree farm was located. It was about a 45-minute drive, and we all arrived in one piece.

One thing that hasn’t changed is mom’s opinion trumping all nine of us. She insisted on having this one type of tree, and that resulted in four of us walking off in a huff because we wanted something different.

Something that has changed dra-matically is the roles people play. In the old column, I talked about Fausti-na throwing fits and crying the whole day. This role has officially been passed onto Patience, and Faustina has taken over my role of being a big sister.

An amazing change on our recent tree shopping trip was the lack of tears. This has never happened before ... EVER. Because there are so many family members, the likeliness of something happening is much greater. Someone always trips on an old tree stump or gets upset because they were left 3 feet behind the group, or they pout because we got the wrong tree ... or, or, or.

We did have the same old grumpy face photo though. It’s a tradition to get our picture taken next to the cho-sen tree. By the time we have the tree picked out, no one wants to coop-erate. Either someone doesn’t like

the tree and is mad because of that, or they just don’t want their picture taken. This results in a lovely family picture with frowns and glaring eyes. This year Faustina just covered her face with all her hair to avoid the experience.

For as long as I can remember, we have always gotten huge trees. They never fit in a stand and end up tip-ping over multiple times. They always touch the top of our ceiling and are so wide no one can get around them. Well, that changed this year. We got a skinny 7-foot-tall tree that actu-ally fits in our living room. My dad had it sturdily in a stand within five minutes, and so far it is still standing straight.

Ornaments are still in our living room corner waiting for someone to finish hanging them. Somehow we never finish, even if everyone helps. We have quite the collection. My mom was trying to figure out how many more we might have, and she said we average about two to three new ornaments a year, plus the added kids, minus all of the broken ones from the fallen trees. We figured that we have probably added, well you do the math, to our collection from five years ago.

Reflecting on my first column, I was amazed at how much our family had changed, but how many things just never change. We are all older; there are more of us; but Christmas tree shopping with the Bystrys is still an adventure!

Amelia BystryCOMMENTARY

My lucky day!To the Editor,After placing my wife in a nursing home, I decided I

didn’t need a six-room house and garage. So I contacted a realtor and put it on the market: Meanwhile I looked for a modular home (trailer). Looked at several, but this one was in perfect shape. The owner was asking $16,000; my son and I thought I should offer $14,000. I asked the owner how much would she take, she said $13,500. I swallowed and said OK. As I was bringing her a check, the realtor called and said he had an offer. Closed the deal on the house in four days, at just below asking price.

After settling down in my new home, I realized I didn’t need to keep it as warm as the house, since my wife was

in a nursing home. Seventy-four degrees was comfort-able for her, but my lab and I thought 69 at bedtime was OK. This was as long as I was busy. Just sitting and read-ing or watching TV after 7 p.m., the home seemed cooler.

My son suggested I look at a space heater, particular-ly an infrared. I checked out the big-box store that had many sizes and styles. I finally chose a medium room one, as I didn’t want to heat the whole house, just one room.

I brought it home, unpacked it, scanned through the small manual, plugged in the heater near my chair and waited for it to heat up. As it was getting warm, I got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the light. As I hit the switch my hand touched the wall. The wall was so hot it burned my hand. I raced five giant steps and pulled

the plug on the heater. I found the circuit breaker for the light, turned it off. Taking off the cover plate for the switch, I saw the switch partially melted.

The next day an electrician pulled out the two switches and replaced them and the wire. The switch had all of the plastic melted on it. Another couple of minutes, the wall would have been in flames.

Rereading the manual, one sentence stood out: The heater requires its own 15-amp circuit with no other items plugged into that circuit.

I took the heater back, took the money, bought a blan-ket and two lottery tickets.

Can I keep on being lucky?Ray Crawford

Gillfillan inducted as Illinois Library LuminaryC H I C A G O —

Nancy Gillfillan, retired director of the Fondu-lac District Library, was named an Illinois Library Luminary by the Illinois Library Association (ILA) on Sept. 19. Luminaries, comprising ILA’s roll of honor, are individuals who have made a signif-icant contribution to Illi-nois libraries and have been recognized by their peers for their accom-plishments.

A resident of Putnam, formerly of Walnut, Gill-fillan has dedicated more than 30 years to the Illi-nois library communi-

ty. Spending the major-ity of her career at the Dixon Public Library, her accomplishments include introducing rural areas of the state to library automation and Internet access.

She extended her pas-sion for libraries by pre-senting at a wide variety of conferences and work-shops and serving on a variety of statewide com-mittees. She was presi-dent of the University of Illinois Graduate Library School Alumni Associa-tion in 2001, as well as serving on the ILA Con-ference Committee from

1991 to 1995 and the ILA Executive Board from 1997 to 2000. In 2003, she was elected president of ILA, the state’s profes-sional association for libraries.

After Gillfillan’s retire-ment from the Fondulac District Library in 2005, she continued to impact and inspire the library profession by teaching the Administration & Management of Libraries and Information Centers course for seven years at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the Univer-sity of Illinois at Urba-

na-Champaign.Gillfillan joins the ranks

of more than 30 distin-guished individuals in this Illinois hall of fame for the library community.

Anthony Padgett completes training

SPRING VALLEY — Anthony Padgett, a sopho-more in the Illinois Central College Diesel Powered Equipment Technology Program, is completing eight weeks of supervised on-the-job training at Cat-erpillar Technical Center, located in Mossville. He is the son of James and Kathryn Padgett of Spring Valley.

After successful com-pletion of their freshman year of training, students become eligible to par-ticipate in the on-the-job training program. On-the-job training provides the students an opportuni-ty to apply the skills they have acquired during their freshman year of training at ICC. Students sharpen their technical skills but also learn the importance to exhibit good work ethic skills.

Padgett is supervised by Matt Chrestenson, section manager, and Michael Daugherty, instructor in the Illinois Central College Diesel Powered Equip-ment Technology Pro-gram. Students participat-ing in the on-the-job train-ing are required to perform many of the same tasks as full-time technicians of the dealership.

“The ICC Diesel Pow-ered Equipment Technol-ogy Internship Program is an example of industry and

education working togeth-er as partners towards progress,” Daugherty said. “Today is the age of the highly trained and educat-ed diesel powered equip-ment service technician. Service and repair of elec-tronic controlled diesel engines, IVT/CVT trans-missions, load-sensing hydraulics and on-board diagnostics require train-ing beyond high school. Given the facts of high dollar value of equipment invested by customers, losses associated with equipment downtime and record technological advances in equipment design and operation, there remains a serious shortage of qualified technicians for employment within diesel powered equipment ser-vice centers,” he said.

Since enrolling in the program, Padgett has com-pleted one and one-half years of intensive train-ing in electrical systems, electronics, diesel engines, transmissions, air con-ditioning and diagnostic testing. Graduates of the program have opportuni-ties to seek careers in the diesel powered equipment service industry.

Padgett will complete requirements for the pro-gram and graduate with an associate in applied science degree in May of 2015.

Bureau County native selected as senior curator at George Washington’s Mount Vernon

MOUNT VERNON, Va. — George Washington’s Mount Vernon is pleased to announce the appoint-ment of Susan Prendergast Schoe-lwer to the position of Robert H. Smith Senior Curator.

Schoelwer has served as Mount Vernon’s curator since 2010. In that capacity she has overseen the recent refurnishing and reinter-pretation of George Washington’s “New Room,” the reinstallation of the greenhouse slave quarter, and several special exhibitions in the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center.

Schoelwer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James D. Prendergast of Princeton, and formerly of Arlington, and the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Prendergast of LaM-oille and Arlington. She graduated from LaMoille High School and the former Arlington Elementary School.

Schoelwer is currently oversee-

ing several room refurbishing proj-ects in the Mount Vernon Mansion and editing the forthcoming book, “The General in the Garden: George Washington’s Landscape at Mount Vernon.” She previously headed the museum collections department at the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford. She holds a doctorate in American Studies from Yale Uni-versity, a master of arts from the Winterthur Program in Early Amer-ican Culture, and a bachelor of arts in History from the University of Notre Dame, where she was among the first classes of female graduates.

“The late Robert H. Smith was both a truly patriotic American and one of Mount Vernon’s most generous supporters,” said Carol Borchert Cadou, Mount Vernon’s senior vice president for historic preservation and collections. He grew a family-owned construction business into a real estate empire

that included the creation of Crys-tal City area of Arlington, Va. In his later years, Smith devoted him-self to philanthropy, supporting numerous historic sites, museums and universities.

Thanks NeighborHonoring the honorable ...

To the Editor,As my wife (Kathleen)

and I are nearing the completion of our move from the farm, farm life and the farming occupa-tion, I would like to rec-ognize a few people and local businesses who we feel have been the most honorable in their dedi-cation to us and the com-munity during our 38/64 years in Bureau County.

While most of these

businesses are not flashy, with fancy facilities, vehicles and the most updated equipment, they have served us with a sincere interest in us as customers. In most cases, their prices are lower, but even when they aren’t, their quality, service and dedication to their cus-tomers far exceeds their competition. As friends and neighbors, these indi-viduals have always been there to help out whenev-er asked, even to the point of unselfishly offering their assistance without

any pre-existing agenda of “what’s in it for me.” The short list is: Diller-Rod, Joe’s Midtown, Ohda Repair, Princeton Tire, Atherton Grain, Consol-idated Grain, Lutes Well Drilling, Michael Sand-en, Dean Perino, Gary Warner, Rediger Auction, Joseph Birkey Accountant and MJ Seeds.

Without these local businesses and neighbors, the community would continue to deteriorate in favor of “Big Business” and “Corporate Domination,” which ultimately result

in eliminating compe-tition, true quality and your ability to choose. I ask that you make every attempt to support those listed above as well as many others in your area who likely fit this model for you.

PRINCETON — The Ottawa Pirates took the first possession of the game and splashed home a trey to set the tone for the entire night in a 70-51 defeat of the Princeton Tigers Friday in Prouty Gymnasium.

Ottawa junior Isaac Gassman was a handful the entire night for the Tigers as he scored a game-high 29 points and also grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double.

“Ottawa just out-exe-cuted us the whole night. They played with more energy and effort than we did in the first half espe-cially,” Princeton coach Jesse Brandt said. “We weren’t very good on the defensive end and they executed extremely well, and they shot the ball well and we did not. They just overall beat us all the way around tonight.”

Ottawa opened up an 18-4 lead with 2:54 seconds to play on an old-fashioned three-point

play as sophomore guard McKe Tucker was fouled as he drove hard through the lane, converted the layup and bonus to put the Pirates in a command-ing position.

“They ran whatever plays they wanted and got whatever shots they want-ed, and we didn’t contest very well and gave up transition baskets to them as well,” Brandt said. “We didn’t get after it enough and we let them do what-ever they wanted offen-sively. We just have to get better at it.”

The Tigers cut into the 14-point Pirate lead, scor-ing the first two buckets of the second quarter. A rebound and lay-in by senior guard Garrett Duffin was followed up with a three-ball up by junior guard Levi Bates that Duffin set up as he attacked the lane and kicked the ball out to a wide open Bates to cut the Pirate lead at 24-15 with 7:15 to play in the quarter.

Boys basketball: Hiawatha 48, LaMoille-Ohio 47

Lions come up short to HiawathaBy Bill SchwaBenlanD

[email protected]

LAMOILLE — Maybe just a little better start on offense, one less turnover, one more free throw, bas-ket, or three-pointer con-verted, here or there – any of those things – and the result could have eas-ily been reversed Friday night.

Such are often the cir-cumstances of a one-

point loss, as the LaMoil-le-Ohio Lions ultimately fell, 48-47, to the Kirkland Hiawatha Hawks, in Little Ten Conference play.

The two teams com-bined for just 3-19 shoot-ing from the field and 15 turnovers over the course of a sluggish first quarter. Incredibly, L-O led, just 6-2, after eight minutes of play, as Hiawatha failed to make a single basket, going 0-8.

The Lions and Hawks scored 11 points each in the second frame, lead-ing to a slim, 17-13 home team lead at the break.

One of the more frustrat-ing facts for the Lions (4-7, 0-2) was the very oppo-site result of their previ-ous, 30-some point win over these same Hawks at the season-opening AFC Tournament.

“This was a trap game. I knew it,” said L-O coach

Brent Kalsto, whose team was facing the Hawks one night after a 62-60 OT win over Annawan. “We played a good game against Annawan. I told them, it doesn’t matter what name is on the (next opponent’s) jerseys.

“I’m not taking anything away from Kirkland. They took it to us, and they beat us tonight fair and square. Nothing more than Kirk-land beat us. It’s as simple

as that. But I told the boys, you beat them by 30 the last time you played. If you play like you’re going to beat them by 30 (again), they’re going to beat you, and it came to fruition. We couldn’t do anything tonight. We didn’t have that intensity.”

Hiawatha – which used a pivotal 18-7 advantage to go up, 31-24, after three quarters – led by as many as 11 points, 38-27, with

6:18 to go in the game, but the Lions chipped away.

L-O scored 23 of their 47 points in the fourth quarter, staging a furious late comeback, getting treys from Alan Stamberg-er, Josh Gross and Derek Debruhl, but the Hawks held on.

Hiawatha secured the victory at the free throw line, connecting on 12-19

Lady Bruins Christmas Classic

Slow start at St. Bede

Lions Page 13

By Dan [email protected]

PERU — The Lady Bruins Christ-mas Classic kicked off Saturday with the LaMoille-Ohio Lady Lions and St. Bede Academy Lady Bru-ins each starting 0-2 as they each dropped games to top-seeded Mendota and No. 3 Eureka.

L-O dropped its first game to Mendota 62-17 while falling to Eureka 52-25. SBA didn’t fare much better as the Trojans downed the Bruins 62-39 while Eureka squeaked by with a 31-28 victory.

Princeton also went 0-2 on the opening day, falling to Seneca 49-34 and Kewanee 73-29.

All three teams were in action Monday. Visit www.bcrnews.com for updates.

St. BedeAfter losing the tournament

opener to Eureka, the Lady Bruins looked to bounce back against a solid Mendota squad, which was short a key player in senior guard Brooke Carroll, but couldn’t fend off the tournament favorites as the Mendota offensive attack was fast and furious.

SBA got on the board first as they scored on their first possession when junior center Hanna Bima corralled a pass on the block and laid it in for the 2-0 lead.

This would be SBA’s only lead of the game as senior forward Amy Devitt got behind the Bru-ins’ defense in transition and was fouled as she converted the lay in. Devitt knocked down the free throw to put the Trojans on top for the rest of the contest after taking a 3-2 lead just 1:13 seconds into the game.

“If you don’t like playing against a halfcourt zone or a halfcourt man, then beat it down the floor. It starts with getting stops. We don’t necessarily have to get a steal to get a transition. They could take a quick shot or just take a shot and miss, and our guards are quick enough to get an outlet pass and push the ball down the floor and find each other,” Mendota coach Brent McKinney said.

If the Lady Bruins were anything it was consistent, scoring nine points in each of the first three quarters.

But the combination of senior guard/forward Ally Bromen-schenkel and senior forward Amy Devitt was too much for SBA as they combined for 39 points to match the Bruins’ offensive output for the game.

“We pressed the entire game; that was our plan coming in. There was no way we were going to stay with the size that they had. We had to try to extend it, play faster and control it a little bit,” SBA coach Tom McGun-nigal said. “But they’re the best team in the area, the best team I’ve seen in a long, long time in the area, and it’s too bad that Brooke Carroll isn’t with them because they’d be a dynamic team to watch.”

Bima had 12 points for the Bruins while junior guard Gab-bie Morrow added 10.

LaMoille-OhioL-O had a rough day after

dropping their opener to the Trojans. The Eureka Hornets came in and wore down the Lady Lions as nine different Hornets contributed offensively in their 52-25 route.

The Hornets set the tone early as junior center Emily Ausmus stole the opening L-O posses-sion and that eventually led to a trey by freshman guard Natalie Baldwell to grab a quick 3-0 lead they built on for the remainder of the game.

Eureka used nice ball move-ment to swing the ball around the perimeter and create open opportunities for the guards to knock down wide-open shots

including five first-half three points. The Hornets added three more in the second half.

L-O came out strong in the second half scoring four points, two free throws by freshman guard Lexi Loftus and inbounds play that put the ball in the hands of freshman forward Maddie Deery for a short jump shot in the first 52 seconds of the second half. But they couldn’t keep the momentum as they were shut out for the last 7:08 of the third quarter.

“We played OK. We struggled early against Mendota and that sort of carried over,” L-O coach Holli Rapp said. “And based on what we saw from them in their

earlier game, we weren’t pre-pared for them to come out and shoot threes the way they did.

“I wasn’t upset with our effort. We keep getting better even though we go through some slumps, but we take these bumps and make them positives as we learn from our mistakes and continue to improve.”

Defensively L-O was stingy in the frame holding the Hor-nets to just eight points, but the lack of offensive production in the game from the Lady Lions secured their fate and a 52-25 loss.

Freshman center Haley Coff-man caused havoc in the paint as she swatted six L-O shots

and kept the Lady Lions’ guards from getting penetration near the hoop.

Senior center Elizabeth Geuther had eight points for the Lady Lions while Loftus added six.

The Lady Lions scored the first points of the game against Men-dota and held close at 16-8 at quarter’s end. Mendota pulled out to a 37-12 halftime lead on the way to a 62-17 victory.

Geuther had nine points. Mendota got 22 points from Abby Bromenschenkel.

PrincetonThe Tigresses spotted Sene-

ca a 6-0 start before scoring six straight of their own to tie the

game. The Irish settled for an 8-6 lead at the end of the first quar-ter and 19-14 at the half. PHS senior Stephenny Farrell kept the Tigresses close with eight first-half points.

The Irish rode the play of freshman Lydia Robinson in the second half, who scored 14 of her game-high 17 points.

Taylor Clark scored eight points in the second half to share game honors for Princeton with eight points. Abby Jaques added seven points.

Clark came back with a nine-point effort against Kewanee. Ivy Rhodes added five points.

attempts in the last period to hold off the Lions.

Debruhl’s three-point-er at game’s end simply made an L-O 48-44 deficit into a 48-47 final tally in favor of the Hawks (5-6, 1-2).

Gross (12 points), Debruhl (11), and Stam-berger (8) paced the Lions in scoring.

Tyler Hamrick led the Hawks with 14 points and seven rebounds.

“I told the guys, go away from this game. Go away from it. Enjoy Christ-mas,” said Kalsto. “In 10 years, no one is going to

remember this game. It’s not about that. It’s about the friendships, the fun we had. It’s about experiences and memories, and what are you going to do when you get knocked down. It’s that stuff. We’ll get there.

“It’s just tough. We’re going to keep playing. We’re going to keep work-ing hard. That’s it. We’re going to go enjoy some Christmas time. I need it. They need it. And we’ll be ready.”

• LaMoille-Ohio claimed the prelim contest, 60-49, over the younger Hawks. Dominic Moore and Brady Debruhl scored 11 points each in the L-O win. Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com

Ottawa took a 41-21 lead into the locker room at halftime.

“We seemed like we enjoyed playing together tonight in terms of sharing the ball and everybody getting touch-es, and that’s good to see,” Ottawa coach Mark Cooper said.

Senior guard Jake Reinhardt strug-gled early in the game from the field but came out strong in the second half as he attacked the basket and scored 8 of the 12 PHS points in the third quarter.

The Tigers continued to improve throughout the contest but the hot start by the Pirates left a gap Princeton couldn’t close.

“Jake went 0 for 8 in the first half and that’s unusual for him. He came

out strong in the second half, and we did a lot better once he got on track. We were able to score the ball, but we couldn’t get stops defensively so it really didn’t matter,” Brandt said.

Duffin was tops on the scoring sheet for the Tigers with 13 points while Rein-hardt was right behind him with 11.

“For the most part we kept them out of the lane. Duffin is really good. He is a tough cover so we threw some different bodies at him tonight,” Coo-per said. “Reinhardt is a really good player, and he didn’t shoot it as well tonight.”

• PHS won the sophomore prelim 44-31 ... The Tigers return to action at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday against Seneca in the Plano Christmas Classic. The PHS sophs split two games there Monday, defeating HBR 50-20 and falling to Burlington Central 55-42.
