Is your flu shot

effective?Health officials still urging people to get vaccinated

By Goldie Currie [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Centers for Disease Con-trol recently announced the influenza virus has mutated, making current vaccines not as effective as what health officials hoped for in protecting against the strain of flu.

With the recent news, however, local health offi-cials continue to urge peo-ple to get vaccinated.

Diana Rawlings, Bureau/Putnam County Health Department director, con-firmed it is common for viruses like influenza to mutate.

“Viruses can change their surface proteins to disguise them, so the host cell will allow them to attach. This is called antigenic drift or mutation,” she said.

Rawlings explained

there are several different strains of influenza, and the flu shot is designed to protect against the three most common strains cir-culating around the globe throughout the year.

“Even if the flu shot isn’t as protective against a recently mutated strain, it can still decrease the sever-ity of illness caused by the virus. It can also protect against other circulating strains of the virus,” she said.

Rawlings confirmed there have been people in the community who have tested positive for both influenza A and B this year.

“Flu is considered wide-spread across Illinois right now and has increased dra-matically in the past two weeks,” she said. “Nation-wide, influenza A has been detected most frequently

New laptops ... powered by STEMBy Zita HenneBerry

Editor’s Note: This is the first story in a two-part series concerning the STEM educational focus in LaMoille Community Unit School District (LCUSD) No. 303.

LAMOILLE — Technolo-gy in LCUSD No. 303 is get-ting a significant upgrade.

The LaMoille district is distributing new Dell lap-tops to all students Grades 4 through 12. By February, all students in these grades will have their school lap-tops, said Superintendent Ricardo Espinoza.

“We believe that acces-sibility and availability of technology and connectivi-ty is paramount to achieve-ment,” said Espinoza.

Dell’s Latitude 13 Edu-cation Series laptop is

described by Dell as “Classroom-ready. School-yard-tough.” This Dell laptop is designed specif-ically for classroom use. Its’ durable design, Dell described, as ready to withstand harsh treatment and even spills.

Senior Jennah Graham and junior Rae Schultz said they were very excited about receiving their lap-tops.

“It’s going to be nice, especially for the seniors that are definitely from class to class, always using them for different proj-ects,” said Graham, “We’re pretty excited, actually, for that too.”

Apart from the laptops, Graham said she was excit-ed about her recent STEM educational projects.

Late work — no problem?Berlinski acknowledges

there are mixed responses

By Zita [email protected]

PRINCETON — Prince-ton High School (PHS) has enacted a recent policy change which will allow PHS students to turn in late work for full credit.

“Regardless of the syl-labus that was given out in each class, late work will not be docked any points,” Andy Berlinski, PHS principal, said in his letter to students. He con-tinued, “In addition, all students will be allowed to rewrite papers and

redo other work, in order to improve skills and demonstrate knowledge.”

Any work which has already been docked points for lateness, Ber-linski explained, will be adjusted if possible.

“This was a, I would say, a teacher initiated and led decision,” said Berlinski. He said this change was initiated by the division at the end of last week. The division, a group of seven teachers (one from each department), and the principal meet once a week to discuss various concerns. This change

has been part of an ongo-ing discussion, he said.

“The policy change came about in looking at some data that we found to be very kind of con-cerning to us,” Berlins-ki said. “Obviously our graduation rate at being at 83 percent and below the state average, I think is probably the one that was primarily the focus of this discussion and what could we do as a school independently from 8 (a.m.) to 2:45 (p.m.) to help ensure student suc-cess.”

The change is now effective in all classes and for all students at PHS and will continue into second semester. This semester’s final due date for all late

work, work-rewrites, etc. is Dec. 19, the end of the semester.

“This is a work in prog-ress,” said Berlinski, “The division had to make a decision going into finals week, and with seven days left, it’s really an open-ended policy.”

He said due to the lim-ited time frame the pol-icy is currently a very open-ended one. How-ever, he fully expects to develop the policy further to protect the integrity of the classes, grading and academic fairness.

“I do see us working toward making some parameters and restrict-ing this to a greater

Freedom House and IVCC team up to deliver message

By Goldie [email protected]

PRINCETON — Free-dom House will team up this summer with Illi-nois Valley Community College’s (IVCC) Theater Department to help deliv-er messages about the seriousness of domestic violence.

Freedom House was recently awarded a $2,850 grant from the Communi-ty Foundation of Central Illinois, which will help fund the upcoming proj-ect.

Dorothy Voice, Free-dom House office manag-er, confirmed the collab-oration will provide dra-matic vignettes to better educate all ages.

The theater group’s presentations, which will be given to service pro-viders in the community, will also teach about the impact this type of trauma has upon victims and the barriers they face when trying to leave the abuser.

Voice said it’s a wonder-ful opportunity for Free-dom House and expressed appreciation for the grant. She explained this will be a chance for many to learn about the kinds of issues victims face when trying to leave their abus-er. She said often times people are too quick to judge victims for not leav-ing an abuser, as many cannot relate to the sce-narios victims are going through.

“It’s said that a victim

will leave and return to her abuser on average of seven times,” Voice said.

According to a press release issued by Pro-gram Services Director Sharon Mindock, with the increased knowledge gained by providers, it is the belief of Free-dom House that victims will have better access to physical and mental health services reducing the effects of post-trau-matic stress and other health related conditions that plague this high-risk population.

“The theater group will educate service providers in the community about the impact that this type of trauma has upon vic-tims and the barriers they face when trying to leave the abuser,” the press release stated.

Freedom House is the only state-approved domestic and sexual vio-lence service provider for the counties of Bureau, Marshall, Putnam, Henry and Stark.

Last year, Freedom House served more than 800 victims of domestic and sexual violence.

Services offered include emergency shelter, coun-seling, medical and legal advocacy, therapy, sup-port, professional training and prevention educa-tion.

For help or for more information, call the Free-dom House hotline num-ber at 800-474-6031.

Are you and your car ready for winter?By Zita HenneBerry and

terri [email protected]

It’s no secret winter driv-ing can be rather interesting — to say the least, especially when snow, sleet, ice and other elements can create hazards for motorists.

Are you ready for winter driving? Throwing an extra pair of gloves in the car is far from sufficient. Those who work with vehicles on a daily basis, as well as offi-cers/deputies who respond to stranded motorists and health professionals who have seen their share of frostbite and other implica-tions from the weather say there are several things to consider before you turn onto that snow-packed or icy roadway.

The car experts say ...

“Regular, routine main-tenance can help improve your gasoline mileage, reduce pollution and catch minor problems before they become big headaches,” said Tony Molla, vice pres-ident of communications at the National Institute of Automotive Service Excel-lence (ASE).

A representatives from a Princeton dealership echoed that comment.

Rob Hammitt, service manager for Prescott Broth-ers in Princeton, said your car should have a complete check up before the winter weather hits.

“First thing is to check the tires to make sure there is plenty of tread. And then make sure the antifreeze has a low-enough freezing point, at least 20 degrees below zero,” Hammitt said.

Hammitt said it’s also important to make sure your oil is fresh, and he advises drivers to keep at least a half of a tank of gas in the vehicle during the winter months. He also said the battery and belts should be checked, and one should make sure there is plenty of window washer solvent and good wiper blades installed on the vehicle.

Officially speaking ...

Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said if people decide to brave the inclem-ent weather, they need to have some safety items in their vehicles before set-ting out, including a shovel, water, blankets, some food, a flashlight and even some flares. He said it’s not a bad idea to also have a fluores-cent vest, which would be highly visible for passers-by.

If you have to get out of the vehicle, Root said to try and exit from the passenger side. It’s also important to attempt to get the vehicle as far off the road as possible, to keep it from being a haz-ard to other motorists, snow plows, etc.

“Try to maintain your emergency flashers as long as possible, and make yourself as visible as pos-sible,” Root said. “And do not wander off. Stay with your vehicle; we will come to you rather than you try to find us. Stay as warm and comfortable as you can, and make sure you leave the house with a charged cell phone.”

What the doctor says ...

But what about you? While your car might be in tip-top condition, your body needs to be protected from bru-tal weather if your vehicle should slip into the ditch or you become stranded in the middle of a snowstorm.

Dr. Paul Bonucci of Princ-eton said anyone traveling in the Midwest during the winter months should carry certain essentials with them, including hats and gloves, sand for traction and other emergency kit essentials. He warned when stuck and/or stranded, people should stay with their vehicle and be careful to avoid wind that may drop temperatures.

When sitting for long peri-ods of time, Bonucci said people should help their circulation by moving their hands and feet, and keeping their ears covered.


Some tips to keep you safeThe National Institute for Automotive Service

Excellence offers a variety of tips to help keep peo-ple safe and provide peace of mind throughout the winter months:

• Before you do anything else, read your own-er’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recom-mended service schedules.

• Get engine performance and drive-ability problems corrected at a reputable repair shop that employs ASE-certified repair professionals. Cold weather makes existing problems worse.

• Replace dirty filters, such as air, fuel, and PCV. • As the temperature drops below freezing, add

a bottle of fuel de-icer in your tank once a month to help keep moisture from freezing in the fuel line. Keeping the gas tank filled also helps prevent moisture from forming.

• Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual — more often if your driving is most-ly stop-and-go or consists of frequent short trips.

• The cooling system should be flushed and refilled as recommended. The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended.

• The heater and defroster must be in good working condition for passenger comfort and driver visibility.

• Replace old blades regularly. If your climate is harsh, purchase rubber-clad (winter) blades to fight ice build-up. Stock up on windshield washer solvent and always carry an ice scraper.

• Have your battery checked. The only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment.

• Inspect all lights and bulbs. Replace burned out bulbs; periodically clean road grime from all lenses. To prevent scratching, never use a dry rag. Clouded lenses can be refinished by many service outlets or by using a DIY kit

• Exhaust fumes inside your vehicle’s cabin can be deadly. Have the exhaust system examined for leaks and problems while the vehicle is on a lift. The trunk and floorboards should also be inspect-ed for small holes.

• Worn tires are dangerous in winter weather. Examine tires for remaining tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. Check tire pressure once a month, letting the tires “cool down” before checking the pressure. Don’t forget to check your spare, and be sure the jack is in good working condition.

• Have your brakes checked periodically for safety and to prevent costly repairs that can be caused by neglect.

• The transmission is often neglected until a major failure. Routine checks and fluid changes at prescribed intervals can prevent very costly repairs down the line.

• Always carry an emergency kit with you: Extra gloves, boots and blankets; flares; a small shovel and sand or kitty litter; tire chains; a flashlight and extra batteries; and a cell phone and extra car charger. Put a few “high-energy” snacks in your glove box.

the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into the various disciplines taught throughout a student’s education. This focus is highly important, espe-cially as jobs in these areas are increasing, said Espi-noza.

“A recent report of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics predicts that the number of jobs in STEM occupations will grow by 47 percent ...” he said.

LaMoille is current-ly undergoing the inte-gration of various new methods and programs to encourage engagement and achievement through STEM activities.

Multiple LaMoille staff members agreed; the

STEM activities have been a great success.

“I think it’s all really great,” said Graham.

LCUSD aims to provide a more hands-on approach to learning, said Espino-za. He believes learning can be fun, and as often as possible, schools should be too.

“We envision our school will change dramatically,” said Espinoza.

With the focus in the schools gearing toward STEM education, the lap-tops will help facilitate STEM throughout the school day, said Espino-za, adding students will be able to use their laptops for education programs being utilized in the schools.

Programs such as SketchUp and AutoCAD, 3D modeling software, allow students to work in multiple areas of STEM

education. Eventually stu-dents will be able to work directly with the school’s 3D printer and wide for-mat printer.

The laptops, said English teacher Justin Elam, will also allow students to put their ideas into practice and continue with STEM or other projects outside of school. Often times, he said students will be reluc-tant to go home and stop their STEM projects.

“They come to me on Monday ... They come to me with their list of gener-ated ideas,” he said.

“The thing that I like the most about this is enthusi-asm that the students have ...” said Elam. “They (feel) like ‘I’m creating some-thing, I’m making some-thing that I didn’t think I could do before.’”


this year.”Rawlings said when

influenza A is most promi-nent, it causes the worst flu years, with more hospital-izations and deaths in the United States.

Rawlings said there is still time to get a flu shot, as flu activity typically peaks between December and February and can last as late as May.

So far this year, the health department has given 1,399 flu vaccines and recommends those who haven’t yet received the vaccines do so. People can call either the Bureau County or Putnam Coun-ty Health Department to set up an appointment to

receive the vaccine.Rawlings said there has

been no shortage in vac-cines this year.

There are practices peo-ple can remember to do to ensure they are protected. Rawlings reminded about the three C’s — clean, cover and contain. Clean hands often, cover cough and contain the virus by

staying home if you are sick.

“Also clean commonly touched surfaces around you regularly and call your doctor if you develop flu symptoms,” Rawlings said. “Antiviral medications may help if they are given when you first become ill.”

degree going into the sec-ond semester, so it’s not as open-ended,” said Ber-linski.

He continued, “There is always that debate of responsibility versus aca-demic work, and are we teaching them responsi-bility, and I think we have to be mindful of that as well.”

Berlinski recognized

the mixed reactions to the policy and appreciates the passion for education these responses show.

“What I’ve been very happy about is the fact that there are those in the community who are dis-cussing it and discussing education,” he continued “It is refreshing to know that there is a wide range of opinions on this.”

From Monday to Thurs-day, teachers will be avail-able after 2 p.m. to help students with the policy

Board member Steph-anie Van Ordstrand said she truly believes the staff involved are working toward the best interests of the students.

“Nothing is done light-ly,” she said.

More information on this change will be pre-sented at the 6 p.m. PHS Board meeting Wednes-day.

12 scams of Christmas: Better safe than sorry

The holiday season is a wonderful time of the year, but it’s also a prime time for scams to occur.

“The losses that hit consumers each year at Christmas are stagger-ing,” said Steve J. Bernas, president/CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and northern Illinois. “Even with the hustle and bus-tle of the season, every-one needs to remain on their toes.”

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) shares this consumer warning, a list of scams to be aware of, from McAfee Labs, a developer of computer protection software.

You’ve got mail. Think twice before clicking links in shipping noti-fication emails. Always verify the shipping com-pany before giving out your personal informa-tion.

Deceptive advertising. Beware of deals that are too good to be true, as they could steal your personal information and ruin your holiday cheer.

Chilling charities. ‘Tis the season to donate, but be wary of fake char-ities. Do your research and double check the site’s URL.

Buyer beware. Check your credit card state-ments to make sure you don’t have unwanted charges as a result of a point-of-sale breach of your credit security.

iScams. Today, smart-phones act not only as a phone but also a credit card, house key, camera and more. Malware can access your device via apps. Do your research and stick to official app

stores when download-ing.

Getting carded. Avoid the unwanted gift of mal-ware and always veri-fy that e-cards are from someone you know and are from a trustworthy site.

Holiday travel scams. Avoid fake online deal links offering low price airfare or hotel rooms that could be a trap; think before you click.

Bank robocall scam. Be suspicious of phone calls from people who claim your computer is infected and request your personal informa-tion to fix it.

ATM skimming. Care-fully inspect automated teller machines (ATMs), especially if they are not at a bank location. A skimmer device could have been installed that’s designed to steal data off your bank card or credit

card as you swipe it. Look carefully at the ATM and cover the keypad when entering your PIN.

Year in review traps. While a “Year in Review” email message sounds entertaining to read, clicking on these links could infect your devices.

BYO ... device. With the hustle and bustle of the season, smartphones could easily be lost or sto-len in the shuffle. Don’t leave your smartphone unattended during the hectic holiday season as it could give hackers access to your personal and work information.

Bad USB blues. Be wary of free USB drives that are often used as giveaways. This method is an easy way for hackers to spread malware.

The Illinois State Police, District 17, will conduct a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) in LaSalle County during the month of December, according to Captain Robert Atherton.

The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license,

transporting open alcoholic beverages or driving under the influence (DUI).

Alcohol and drug impairment is a significant factor in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illi-nois. RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road.

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

My life as a prankster ... I mean writerAs I get settled into the new

office setting, I find my tastes seem to be changing. Suddenly I am relating to people and things in different ways ... as if my change in setting has somehow changed me. Or maybe this is simply a part of getting older.

The shock truly came the moment I realized I was in a con-versation about high deductible health insurance plans ... and I was actually interested.

Out of nowhere, suddenly I’m a grown up. The change may have been well overdue.

Yet, I find myself desperately clinging to my adolescence, like a child throwing an obnoxious tantrum in the middle of a depart-ment store. We’ve all seen them somewhere, kids who are unwill-ing to part with their all-time favorite stuffed animal (which they just happened to pull off the shelf 10 seconds ago). Most of us were those kids at one point or another. However, I hope my current strug-gle will have just a little less kick-

ing and screaming. Maybe.I find myself growing accus-

tomed to the office setting by planning an array of office pranks spurred by Shannon Serpette, the BCR’s copy editor. The wise Ser-pette wrangled me into prank No. 1 and paved the way for my work-place mayhem.

Post our first pranking, I enthu-siastically sat down for a mar-athon of the popular television series “The Office,” an old favorite. The show focuses on the relation-ships and tensions in the office of a small paper company. It seemed fairly relevant to my new job.

In the show, its characters pull a variety of meticulous office pranks that provide a grandeur of comic relief. Pranks like putting some-

one’s stapler in Jell-O and artfully leaving it in the middle of their desk for them to find. Or moving a co-worker’s entire desk, exactly as it was found with paper clips and all, into the bathroom ... although, I may not have established the job security to pull pranks quite so unproductive.

I find myself whirling away the hours wondering, however, how many Post-it notes it would take to cover an entire cubicle, desk, computer and everything? Too many?

Today I plan to shrink-wrap my co-worker’s coffee mug and key-board just for fun. Right before I gift wrap her cubicle of course — my substitute for her wedding gift.

Needless to say, I seem to be adapting to professionalism well. Next week, someone’s stapler is going in Jell-O.

So I may not be a real “grown up” just yet ... but who really is?

COMMENTARY

From the editor’s desk

I was out and about in Bureau County this weekend, and it’s safe to say, there was a buzz of holiday happen-ings and shopping going on around the county.

Santa was spotted in quite a few towns and villages; shoppers were scurrying from store to store; restaurants seemed busy with those grabbing a bite to eat; Christmas music resonated from our area churches; cookie sales were a sweet bonus; and the weather was more than cooperative.

I spent some time in Walnut early Sat-urday morning, and I had a great time. Between the Walnut House and Avantis, I must have talked to 20 people who were clearly in the Christmas spirit. OK ... there were a few Grinches among them, but for the most part, the holiday spirit was alive and well in Walnut. It was great to see you folks.

As Christmas draws nearer, I’d like to remind you the Bureau County Republican will be happy to publish your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services and events. Just email your information — who, where, when, what time, etc. — to [email protected]. We’ll let others know of your Christmas happenings, so they, too, can enjoy the season with you.

•••I understand Illinois is having its fair share of influenza

cases right now (See our story on Page 1). Please remem-ber it’s not too late to get your flu shot. See your doctor or our local health department for more information.

•••The Christmas for Kids Toy Drive went well last week-

end. Overseen by the Princeton Wesleyan Church, this was a massive effort to ensure every child has a present to open on Christmas Day. Thanks to everyone who donat-ed to this event, and a huge round of applause to the folks at the Wesleyan Church and all the volunteers it took to make this effort a success.

•••When it comes to benevolent activities, don’t forget

your local food pantries. These folks work very hard to make sure nobody in Bureau County has to go to bed hungry at night. I know your food items, personal items and monetary donations are appreciated. Bureau County has five food pantries, which served folks from all sides of the county, including those in Princeton, Spring Valley, Walnut, Wyanet and Sheffield. No donation is too small.

•••This Sunday is the First Lutheran Church in Princeton

old-fashioned Christmas Carol Sing. It sounds like the kind of event that will warm your heart, as you join in with other members of the community to sing Christmas carols. This casual event is free — no offering will be taken, and refreshments will be served after the hour-long event. What a perfect way to kick-off Christmas week!

•••All of our newspapers will be having early deadlines to

compensate for the upcoming holidays. If you have press releases or other events you want included in any of our newspapers, you’ll want to get them in early. Likewise, ad deadlines are early too, so please contact your multi-me-dia consultant if you have questions.

•••Just for fun: It was Christmas Eve, and Max thought it

would be nice to surprise his wife with a gift on Christmas Day. A bit short of cash, he thought long and hard about what present he’d like to give.

Unable to decide, he headed to the cosmetics counter at the local store and asked the girl, “How about some perfume for my wife?”

The clerk showed his a bottle costing $150. Max said that was too much money, and he inquired about some-thing less expensive. The clerk brought out another bottle of perfume which cost $50.

“Still too much,” Max said. “Anything cheaper?”The clerk showed him a tiny bottle, which cost only

$10.“Still too expensive,” Max said. “I mean I need to see

something really, really cheap.”The sales girl handed him a mirror.

•••It’s a crazy busy time. Take some time for you and

those you love. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

On the street What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

“My favorite Christmas tradition is

decorating Boopa’s tree and celebrating the holiday with family.”Tricia Jones, Spring Valley

“My favorite tradition is getting a new nightgown

every year since I was born from my grandma. They always look the same.”

Tara Hinckley, Ladd

“My favorite Christmas tradition is hiding

my pickle ornament in the tree for the

grandchildren to find.”Molly Thrasher, Ladd

“At the beginning of December, I wrap 25 Christmas books. Every night my son gets to open one and mark the day off of the calendar. We also have an Elf on the Shelf.”

Carianna Thrasher, Ladd

“My favorite Christmas tradition is when we celebrate Wigilia every Christmas Eve. Wigilia is a

Polish tradition where you break bread (oplatek), kiss your family and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.”

Amy Golightly, Peru

Thanks for maintaining the tradition

To the Editor,Bureau County can be proud of

maintaining the fall tradition of the Homestead Festival. It takes many volunteers to make this weekend a success. We would like to thank everyone involved with organiz-ing the parade, craft show, baby contest, car show, the Friday night activities and the special perfor-mances of various groups.

For many years the Bureau Coun-ty Pork Producers have served their famous pork chops and pork burger sandwiches at this annual event. This year marked a changing of the guard with the pork producers handing over the cooking duties to the Bureau County Farm Bureau Young Leaders and the organiza-tion and running of the pork tent to the Bureau County 4-H Clubs, Inc. Board.

We want to thank the Bureau County Farm Bureau Young Lead-ers for stepping up and taking over those and other duties in the pork tent to help make this annual event a success. This serving tradition would not be able to continue without the help of volunteers from the Bureau County Farm Bureau, University of Illinois Extension staff and local Unit Council members, Bureau County 4-H Clubs, Bureau

County 4-H Clubs, Inc. and 4-H Federation, Bureau County Pork Producers and the many other ded-icated volunteers who have made it a tradition to come and help at the tent year after year.

Thank you to everyone for their ongoing support and commitment to keep this tradition going for many years to come!

Rios received DAR Good Citizenship AwardDEPUE — The faculty

and students of DePue High School have select-ed senior Daniela Rios as the winner of the 2014-15 DAR Good Citizenship Award.

The award is presented each year to an outstand-ing senior based on the qualities of dependabili-ty, service, leadership and patriotism. The award is sponsored by the Prince-ton-Illinois chapter of the

National Society of the Daughters of the Ameri-can Revolution.

Rios is the daughter of Saul and Marisella Rios. She has been involved in a number of extra-curricu-lar activities while attend-ing DePue. She has been a member of the soccer team, Activity Club, Stu-dent Council, Book Club and a cheerleader. She has been on the honor roll, including the high

honor roll for the past two years. She was named the Elks Teen of the Month for September. She has also been involved in many community service activities, including the DePue boat races, DePue Christmas Walk and the community art show.

Rios plans to attend a four-year university in the fall and major in business with an emphasis in mar-keting.

Mission trip members help to build churchKEWANEE — Steve

Becker’s team of volunteers worked alongside the local people of El Salvador to help construct a Lutheran church during a nine-day service trip. The trip was made possible by the part-nership between Thrivent Financial and Habitat for Humanity called Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity. Thrivent Builds empowers Thrivent mem-bers and other volunteers to improve communities in the United States and also internationally by helping where it is needed the most with both financial and hands-on contributions. Becker’s current trip was part of the Thrivent Builds Worldwide program.

“It was such a remark-able experience,” said Becker. “It was an incred-ible way to give back and be generous and live out my faith in a different set-ting. It was very satisfying working side by side with the congregational mem-bers helping them build their new church. Making a difference by improving the lives of other people is a very rewarding and humbling experience.”

The team members were from Kewanee, Mal-den, Moline, East Peoria

and Davenport, Iowa. The team’s main job was dig-ging dirt and hauling in sand with wheelbarrows to prepare the church floor. Other jobs includ-ed mixing concrete with shovels and tamping sand.

The team also had the opportunity to explore local sites, such as tour-ing a coffee plantation and visiting a few local villages.

Becker’s team worked

on a new Lutheran church in El Salvador, howev-er, most Thrivent Builds Worldwide trips involved building homes. While the need for simple, decent housing in El Salvador is great, the construction of the new church is of vital importance to the Santa Ana, El Salvador commu-nity.

for bone and joint devel-opment. If your child has feet pointing out or in who complains of back, knee, leg, ankle pain or has a back curvature can be seen at this clinic. The Elks will provide financial assistance to their best of their ability for children needing fur-ther treatment or specialty equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources to do so. In the past, the Elks have purchased therapy services, corrective shoes, braces, wheelchairs and augmentative communica-tion devices to help chil-dren overcome a variety of physical challenges.

Barnes and noble — St. Bede wrestler John Barnes is having some noble finishes, plac-ing second at the Riverdale Invitational. See page 13.

By Bill [email protected]

SPRING VALLEY – The Hall Red Devils complet-ed a 3-1 trip through their own 41st annual Colmone Classic Saturday night, edging the Mooseheart Red Ramblers, 62-59, to claim the third-place tro-phy.

Hall senior A.J. Gaeta paced the Red Devils (4-5) with 24 points, including six three-pointers. Team-mate Drew Pullam added 18 points for the winners, scoring 13 of them in the game’s first half.

“A.J. just kind of took the game over,” Hall coach Mike Filippini said. “He’s not going to win MVP with us playing for third place, but A.J. played like an MVP tonight. He just carried us. Drew Pullam had a huge first half. Without his 13 at halftime, we don’t win this game.

“Tyler Pullam, who hasn’t been playing a whole lot, got in and had some big minutes for us at the end, got two huge defensive rebounds. Somebody new is stepping up every night. Tonight it was Drew and A.J. just carrying the team on their backs.”

The Red Devils faced a 16-10 deficit in the first quarter before rallying to score 11 of the period’s final 13 points to push in front, 21-18, at quarter’s end on a Julian Barroso three-pointer with 1.5 sec-onds to go.

Hall fell behind again, by as many as four points in the second quarter, but Drew Pullam ultimately pulled the Red Devils even, 36-all, with a three-pointer at the first half buzzer.

Tigers hold off NewmanBy dan [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Princeton Tigers had to stave off a late surge to hold off the Sterling Newman Catholic Comets for a 60-54 victory Friday night in Prouty.

With 5:55 left to play, the Tigers were in solid position with a 51-41 advantage before the Comets steadily chipped away at the Princ-eton lead.

A trey by senior forward Shayne Allen with 5:27 to play got the Com-ets rolling, and that was quickly followed by a rebound and lay in by junior forward Noah McCarty on the next Comet possession to cut the lead to 51-46.

Looking to further cut into the Tiger lead the Comets tried to get the ball into the lane, but the pass was stolen by senior forward Gar-

rett Duffin with just over a minute to play.

Duffin wisely held onto the ball, and he was sent to the free throw line where he sunk the front end of the bonus. He grabbed his own rebound on the miss of his second attempt and was sent back to the free throw line where he sunk one more from the charity stripe to give Princeton a 56-51 edge with 0:50 to play.

Two three pointers by the Comets from the top of the key in the span of 14 seconds, one by sophomore guard Eli Leffelman and one by junior forward Noah McCarty, got the game within three at 57-54 with 23 seconds to play.

Senior guard Brenton Schmidt was fouled by Newman as he tried to elude the Comet defense, and he made them pay as he knocked down two free throws.

“He’s been great for us all year. He knocked those two free throws down there at the end, and that was huge for us when we had only been getting one out of two free throws there towards the end,” Princeton coach Jesse Brandt said. “He played hard, he played good defensively tonight, he had a few fouls early but he played smart for the rest of the way.”

Newman looked to be in control quickly, going up 5-0 on the Tigers in the first 2:15 of play.

Foul trouble in the first half by Newman big man McCarty forced him to the bench early in the sec-ond quarter, and that could have played a bigger factor in the game than it did because senior forward Jacob Barnes stepped up for the Comets in a huge way scoring 16

Storm have Clippers seeing doubleBy cody cutter

[email protected]

AMBOY — Coming into its TRAC East tilt at Amboy unde-feated Friday, the Bureau Valley Storm didn’t want to overlook anyone for any reason, even if it meant going against a Clipper squad that is still trying to find its first win.

The Storm continued its strong start to the season by running all over the Clippers, doubling them up in a 64-32 win.

Guards Parker Neuhalfen and Tommy Johnston each had dou-ble-doubles. Neuhalfen scored 21 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, while Johnston scored 17 points and grabbed 13 boards. Each tallied five offensive

rebounds, which were key in pro-viding the second-chance oppor-tunities to put the game away in quick fashion.

Bureau Valley (outscored Amboy 26-7 in the first quarter, and led 41-15 at halftime after the Clippers threw a zone defense on the Storm to start the second quarter.

“I think basketball is all about getting better every possession, every quarter, every half, and every game,” Bureau Valley coach Jason Marquis said. “Amboy’s kids played hard. No game is ever going to be easy. The kids came in and worked hard, and executed their stuff.

“We had spans where we let up a little bit, and we need to get that part out of the game, but I

thought our kids played tremen-dously hard.”

While 16 minutes passed for the Clippers to score 15, to start the third quarter they scored seven in the first two minutes. However, the Storm would pull away with a 14-11 third quarter and a 8-6 fourth. Neuhalfen exited with 25.7 left in the third, while Johnston took a final seat with 5:30 remain-ing in the game.

Gradually, the Storm reserves were sent to action against the Clipper starters.

“It’s just exciting how everyone came in and stepped up,” Neu-halfen said. “Kids that don’t get a lot of minutes came in and played well tonight. Sometimes we’ve let

of his 18 points in the first half.Princeton trailed 31-30 at the

half, but stingy third quarter defense by the Tigers only allowed six points while the Tigers’ offense remained consistent pouring in 15 points.

“We didn’t play well defensive-ly in the first half and I kind of challenged them there at halftime, and we came out strong and held them to just six points in the third quarter and that ended up being the deciding factor in the game,” Brandt said. “We outscored them by nine that quarter so I’m proud of the guys for the way they came out in the second defensively and how they got after it.”

Duffin finished with a game-high 21 points and six boards.

Junior point guard Jake Reinhardt played efficiently as he facilitated the offense and took his opportu-nities to score when they presented themselves, and he finished with 17 points and five rebounds.

“He ran the point for us the whole game and played pretty good defense. At the end of the game he wanted the ball in his hands, he attacked the basket and did some really nice things for us, and we need that out of him with Garrett being a little under the weather,” Brandt said.

• Notes: The Tigers had a much easier time of it Saturday, defeating Amboy 63-33. Duffin had 17 points, and Dalton Jilderda and Reinhardt added 10 each. The PHS sophs won both weekend games. ... Princeton hosts the Ottawa Pirates at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

them come back in, which is not good. We just have to have that killer instinct and put teams away.”

Commanding the Storm court in the final minutes, Fordham pulled down four rebounds in the fourth quarter to rake in nine pulldowns in addi-tion to a pair of blocked shots.

“That’s something we’ve harked on him for,” Mar-quis said of Fordham. “He’s an athletic-enough kid that he needs to get on the glass with us. I thought he did a tremendous job tonight.”

Cole Olson led the Clip-

pers with 16 points, while reserve center Owen Drew pulled down 10 rebounds.

“We didn’t quite knock down some of the shots that we did get, and that was the difference in the game,” Amboy coach Luke Payne said. “We just got to play hard. Against a team that is as quick, as physi-cal, and as fast as they are, it shows us our weakness-es that we do have to get better at. That’s what will make us stronger. That’s what we look to do against these tough teams, to min-imize our weaknesses and get better at them.”

• Notes: The Storm improved to 10-0 with a 68-42 win on the road at Galva Saturday.

Mooseheart’s Hameed Odunewu hooped with 1.1 ticks to go in the third period to put the Red Ramblers in front by the narrowest of margins, 54-53, with eight minutes yet to play.

Mooseheart boasted a 59-56 lead with 4:32 to go in the game.

But the Red Ramblers never scored again. All told, Mooseheart went just 2-18 from the floor and 1-5 at the free throw line during the fourth quarter, while Hall even-tually pushed in front to stay.

“This (was) a long week of basketball, but I told the kids, the three games they won, they found a way to win. Great effort all week,” said Filippini. “Mooseheart is a real-ly hard matchup for us. They’ve got some really

athletic kids, some long kids that we don’t often see. We were very proud of the kids’ effort.

“When (the game) looks its bleakest, when it gets to that point where if we don’t score on this pos-session, the game is prob-ably over, we find a way to do it. To be 4-5, I told the kids, we are improving.”

A Ryan Cinotte basket in the lane gave Hall a 60-59 lead with :46.4 left. Gaeta iced the game with 2-2 free throws with 10.7 seconds to go.

Cinotte grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, while Drew Pullam added nine.

Odunewu led the Red Ramblers with 18 points, followed by Rodrique Ceda Makindu (13) and Ramiro Sanchez (12). Josh Gordon supplied a game-high 12 rebounds.

Hall sank 12 treys in the game on 28 shots from beyond the arc, while connecting on only 4-14 free throw attempts.

“Again, (we had) free throw issues,” Filippini said of his Red Devils. “It’s not like we don’t practice them. The last two games we were 17-for-42 (com-bined) from the line. I felt more comfortable with us shooting three-pointers than free throws.”

Hall’s Gaeta and Cinotte were both selected to the 10-member All-Tourna-ment team.


Boys basketball: Somonauk 67, LaMoille-Ohio 21

Cold shooting dooms LionsBy Bill SchwaBenland

[email protected]

LAMOILLE — An off night of shooting by LaMoille/Ohio’s boys’ varsity basket-ball team helped pave the path to the host Lions’ 67-21 loss to the Somonauk Bobcats Friday night in Little Ten Con-ference boys’ basketball action.

The Bobcats (4-2, 2-0) rushed out a 14-2 lead after eight minutes of play, and then proceeded to increase their advantage to a whopping 32-6 at the break, while the Lions connected on only three of 34 shots from the floor over the course of the game’s first half.

“I think LaMoille, they started out, shot a little cold at the beginning. And it seemed like they tightened up a lit-tle. And sometimes that happens,” said Somonauk coach Ron Hunt. “If they would have come out and hit a couple of those (early) shots, we (might have had) a whole different ball game. But momentum got in our favor.”

Somonauk’s lead ranged between 26 and 39 points during the third quarter.

The Bobcats led, 53-16, with one quarter to go, and a 14-5 fourth-period edge resulted in a 46-point road victory for Somonauk over the Lions (3-6, 0-1).

The Lions shot just 16 percent (10-62) from the field, while Somonauk con-verted an even 50 percent (25-50) on the night.

Somonauk also out-rebounded L/O, 39-27.

Mitch Westbrook went 10-10 from the floor and 5-5 at the free throw line to lead the Bobcats with 25 points.

“Overall, I was pleased with the inten-sity that we brought tonight. Started to run the floor, second quarter,” said Hunt of his Bobcats’ performance. “Westbrook, he really kind of set the tone for us.

“He really got us going, running the floor. He was sick earlier this week, so I was worried about his conditioning. He was out for two days with that flu thing, so I was a little concerned. But he certainly showed that he was back and played real well for us.”

Alan Stamberger’s five points off the bench led the Lions, as the LaMoille junior sank a deuce and his team’s only trey on the Lions’ 14 total attempts from beyond the arc.

Stamberger also grabbed five rebounds, while teammate Johnee Schulte supplied a team-high six rebounds off the bench.

• Notes: L/O’s frosh-soph squad, which only trailed by two, 19-17, at the half, also fell to Somonauk in the prelim game by a final tally of 42-29. Despite early foul trouble, Brady Debruhl sank nine points to lead the younger Lions in scoring. ... The Lions will host Annawan in Ohio on Thursday and Little Ten rival Kirkland Hiawatha in LaMoille on Friday.
