PRINCETON — More Bureau County resi-dents are getting married than in previous years,
and fewer are getting divorced.
Five years ago in 2009, the Bureau County Clerk’s office issued 187 marriage licenses, com-pared to 206 marriage
licenses issued in 2013. Also five years ago in 2009, the Bureau Coun-ty Circuit Clerk’s office recorded 128 divorces filed, compared to 100 divorces filed in 2013.
Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the increase in the num-bers of marriage licenses
isn’t due to an increase in the county’s population in the past five years.
According to a recent study, Illinois divorce rates are the highest from January through March, peaking in March. The study was based on the number of divorces filed in the United States
between 2008 and 2011 as researched by the FindLaw firm.
In his book “Divorce in Illinois, The Legal Pro-cess, Your Rights and What to Expect,” attor-ney Steven Peskind of Chicago said a major factor for people waiting until March to file for
divorce, at least according to his 30-year law career, is because people don’t want to appear heart-less during the Christ-mas holidays by filing for divorce at that time. This has been the trend for a number of years, he said.
PRINCETON — Princ-eton Police are in the process of investigating a death.
Aaron J. Porter, 42, of Princeton was found dead near the parking lot of Liberty Village on North Sixth Street in Princeton early Sun-day morning. Porter was not a resident of the facility. Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said the death does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
An autopsy was per-formed on Monday.
Bureau County Cor-oner Janice Wamhoff said nothing significant showed up in the autop-sy. She said Porter had been suffering from Huntington’s Disease for quite some time.
“Right now, we know he had been falling due to the disease he had,” Wamhoff said. “We suspect he did fall that night, which could have contributed to his death. Pathologists will put everything under the microscope, and then we’ll wait on the toxicology report. Then we’ll be able to get the final cause (of death), pending those reports.”
PRINCETON — Busi-ness is better than ever since the Bureau Put-nam Area Rural Transit (BPART) relocated its main dispatch center and administrative office to the Amtrak Depot Station in Princeton.
BPART moved its main dispatch center and administrative office in January from its previous location at the Gateway Services building on West Peru Street in Princeton.
BPART operations man-ager Mick Johnson said BPART operates out of the former Amtrak depot ticket office and former fudge shop. The move to the Amtrak depot has brought increased vis-ibility and has increased business a lot, he said.
As reported in its 2013 annual report, BPART provided more than 65,000 one-way passen-ger trips and traveled more than 559,661 miles during 2013. That num-ber of passenger trips is projected to increase to 75,000 by the end of the current fiscal year, John-son said, adding the move has been beneficial for BPART and for the com-munity as well.
The dispatch office is staffed from 6 a.m. to 5:30-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, depend-ing upon the traffic, John-son said. Staff members help with the loading and reloading of Amtrak train passengers and are also
there to assist with other transportation needs for the train passengers.
With BPART located at the Amtrak train depot, the station has become multi-modal for people, providing more than one form of transportation out of a single location, he said.
As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, BPART’s occupancy of the depot is a partnership between the city of Princeton and Gateway Services Inc., which acts as an admin-istrative agent for BPART.
Comprising BPART are Gateway Services, the Bureau County Senior Center, both in Prince-ton, St. Margaret’s Hos-pital in Spring Valley and the Putnam County Achievement Service.
Gateway Services has 13 vehicles for the BPART services; the Bureau County Senior Center has three vehicles; Putnam County has one vehicle; and St. Marga-ret’s Hospital has about five vehicles with its own dispatch center.
The need is out there for the public transporta-tion services provided by BPART, Johnson said. In fact, the need is outgrow-ing its capabilities right now, he added.
BPART is funded through the Downstate Operations Assistance program, state and feder-al grants, county matches and donations.

ARLINGTON — St. Patrick Catholic Church in Arlington had to can-cel masses earlier this month while major maintenance upgrades on the building were tak-ing place.
Workers were busy fill-ing in cracks and paint-ings the sanctuary walls. The wall color has been transformed from a yel-low-gold to a darker teal-green color, complete with gold star accents.
According to church trustee Bob Schmidt, it’s been about 30 to 40 years since the church walls have seen a new coat of paint.
Parishioners have been working on turning the church back to its origi-nal Gothic-style design, from when the it was built around 1921.
Workers have also sealed around the church’s distinguishing stained glass windows and have added a fresh coat of paint around those areas, as well. An additional step was built on the back of the altar, which has given a boost to the church’s taber-nacle, making it more prominent.
Schmidt explained there has been a great response, so far, on the changes from the parish-ioners.
“It makes it look nice and makes the people who’ve been here forev-er, like me, feel like it’s really being taken care of,” he said. “When you think there hasn’t been anything done in here in
30 or 40 years, it’s time to do something.”
Schmidt said the next project on the list will be to lay new carpet. While colors and design have been discussed, it will most likely be next year when the carpet will be installed.
When the Rev. Pat-rick Fixen became the
church’s administrator in 2011, he made it a goal to help parishioners turn their church back to its original state.
Other changes that have been ongoing over the past year and one-half include the installa-tion of a new back altar; replacing of the front altar and pulpit; the cross
above the altar is new; a statue of the holy family has been displayed after being stored in the base-ment for about 30 years; construction on the bell tower took place and today the bells are work-ing properly after being silenced for years; and new light fixtures were hung on the front altar.
Schmidt said many of the maintenance upgrades are paid for through the church’s budget, however many parishioners are also willing to donate money, time and their own efforts, as well, for cer-tain projects.
“Half of the commu-nity is always out help-ing us at fundraisers,” he explained. “This com-munity really works ... We raise a lot of money and are very self-sustain-ing.”

It’s been about 30 or 40 years since the church has seen a fresh coat of paint. The church has undergone a list of maintenance upgrades over the last year and a one-half. Parishioners are gearing up for the church’s sesquicentennial celebration this fall.
Other church news:St. Patrick Altar and Rosary Society is currently compiling a
cookbook for the upcoming sesquicentennial celebration this fall. Recipes have already been submitted and about 700 recipes will be published in the final product. The book will also include some of the stained glass window photos taken by Fr. Dominic Garramone of St. Bede Abbey and a historical prelude written by Ruth Pom-mier, who is also preparing a historical booklet to be available at the celebration. Proceeds raised from the cookbook sale will go toward maintenance upgrades for the church.

DEPUE — The long, harsh winter weather hasn’t been too friend-ly to the residents and roadways in DePue.
Residents in the vil-lage have experienced frozen water lines, and a couple homes and one business are still with-out running water this month.
The village board held a special meet-ing Monday to discuss solutions to the frozen water lines. The goal is to reconstruct the lines, in order to prevent the issue from reoccurring.
Mayor Eric Bryant explained on Monday the village has provided the homes and busi-ness with 500-gallon and 1,000-gallon water tanks to help get by this winter. The fire depart-ment has been able to
refill the tanks when they are emptied.
The village has also been faced with dete-riorating roads, caused by plows and other winter weather condi-tions. The village was forced to close the east entrance into the vil-lage from Route 29 onto Lincoln Avenue last month, because of such bad deterioration.
Bryant said the village hired Starline Construc-tion of Ladd to come in and fill the holes with gravel as a short-term solution. The village will now have to look into long-term solutions to repair the road once the weather turns. Bry-ant said the short-term solutions are “not great,
but it’s better than what it was.”
Looking ahead at how the village will have to finance the long-term repairs, Bryant said the village could dip into the $975,000 settlement money it’s expected to receive from Exxon Mobile/CBS Corporation any day now. However, vil-lage engineer Don Bixby will also be looking into grants, which the village could apply for and use specifically for the road conditions.
“We’re looking at all the options. We’re keep-ing an eye on grants for road damages, so we would capitalize on that and make the set-tlement money go fur-
ther,” Bryant said.Comment on this

However, Bureau County Circuit Clerk Mary Romanelli Dre-mann said that’s not been the trend in Bureau County. Looking at the circuit clerk’s records
for the past five years, divorce filings are dis-tributed fairly equally throughout the year, with total annual num-bers decreasing slightly from five years ago, Dre-mann said.

The baby is almost ready to enter the world, and the decision of what to name the new addition to the family is a tough one. Do you name the child after great-great-grandpa, or do you give him his own identity? Do you lovingly use your mother-in-law’s name, or are you thinking about a more popular name of a character you’ve seen on TV or at the movies?
Naming a baby can be tough, especially if the two parents (and often grandparents get in on the discussion) can’t agree. One thing for sure, the baby will live with your decision the rest of their life, so you’ll want to think long and hard about the name you give your new bundle of joy.
While experts in the naming field have a vari-ety of theories about what kind of name should be suit a child for the future, the most popular names for boys and girls have remained similar throughout the years.
At St. Margaret’s Birthing Unit in Spring Valley, Heather Knob-lauch, perinatal coordi-nator, glanced through the names given to new babies at St. Margaret’s Health in Spring Valley,
and what she found was many of the names are quite unusual. Several were “made-up” names — titles that hadn’t been heard before or more common names that were spelled in an unusu-al manner. While there were a few more common names in the book, Kno-blauch said the biggest trend she could see was that many of the names began with an “A” or and “E.” As she read down the list of first names, each one was different — only a few were alike.
At babycenter.com, the experts there said par-ents should start think-ing about their newborn’s name early in the preg-nancy. They caution soon-to-be parents there are many considerations like “appeasing relatives, avoiding embarrassing initials or nicknames, and steering clear of moni-kers associated with bad memories.” These are some of the main points to keep in mind:
• “Uniqueness. An unusual name has the advantage of making the
bearer stand out from the crowd. On the other hand, a name no one has heard of and few can pro-nounce can bring atten-tion a child would rather avoid. One way of strik-ing a balance is to choose a familiar first name if the child’s last name is unusual, and vice versa.”
• “Relatives and friends. Many parents choose to name their babies after a grandparent, other rela-tive or close friend. Take ideas graciously, but don’t tell anyone what you and your partner have decid-ed until after the baby is born — when it’s too late to give in to any subtle hints. And never let any-one pressure you into a name you don’t like.”
• “Ancestry and heri-tage. Your child’s heri-tage is an essential part of who she/he is, and you may want their name to reflect that. Your religious preference may steer you toward a certain catego-ry of names. Or perhaps your family has a tradi-tion of naming first-born sons after their fathers. If you love a name but it doesn’t meet your fam-ily’s traditional require-ments, consider using it as a middle name.”
• “Initials and nick-names. People, especially kids, can be cruel when it comes to nicknames, so try to anticipate any potentially embarrassing ones.”

This, that and the odder
From the editor’s desk
We have had some crazy weath-er lately. When you think that it is finally going to start getting warm-er and turn into spring, it does the opposite and goes back into nega-tive numbers.
I usually don’t complain about snow but we have had about three snows too many. Some people love it when it first snows. You get to sled, make snow angels, build snowmen and snow forts and have snowball fights. These activities are lots of fun until you want to be able to swim in your swim-ming pool again or go on long bike rides. Waiting for spring/summer seems really hard now, but it will be here before you know it.
My brother, Milo, has been in karate for about four years, and he recently tested for his brown belt. Being tested means that he will go to class as usual, but he will be asked different questions and will have to execute Katas for the Sen-sei. If he passes, he is awarded his next belt. The order of the belts is white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown and black.
When Milo arrived home after class we all gathered at the door to see what color belt he had on when he got out of the truck. As soon as we saw that it was brown, we started jumping up and down yelling, “He got it, he got it.”
It is a big deal for Milo to have
gotten this far in karate, and we are all proud of him. Milo wants to celebrate by turning an extra white belt he received with a new gee into bright pink, so he can give it to my little sister, Patsy. She often does routines with him and one day hit him on the head with a broom handle as she was pretending to do a bokata. It bled for several hours!
My little sister, Patience, we call her Patsy, had her third birthday on March 2. We celebrated it and had her party on March 1. We wanted to make it special for her. She has watched other family members all year long open their presents (this is a big deal for a 2 year old) and blow out their candles on cool cakes. I made her an awesome cake with Disney princes and princesses all over it. Then we decorated a room with pink balloons and streamers. My grandparents came over, and she opened all her pink presents and blew out her candles as we sang “Happy Birthday.”
The next evening we went to our church for an appreciation
dinner. It was to thank all the people who helped in our par-ish. Patsy, of course, got a lot of attention because it was her birthday. She was given birthday wishes by several different people.
Later on in the evening, after she had taken a bathroom break, she walked back in and everyone was singing “Happy Birthday.” There was a giant birthday cake in the center of the room. Being 3, she didn’t understand that is was celebrating the 150th birthday of our church.
She was puffed up with pride and got a huge smile on her face thinking it was all for her. The evening continued on but we had to leave before it was finished. There was a speech being given, so my mom tried to get everyone out quietly. Patience escaped her and went joyfully running around the room waving and yelling, “Bye everyone. I’m leaving, bye, I’m leaving.” My mom tried to grab her but that caused her to shout louder.
At the end of the night, she didn’t wonder where the candles were or how big the presents came; all that mattered was that she felt special.

I had a nice chat last week with my buddy, Princeton resident Ray Crawford. We talk now and then on the phone about a variety of subjects. I find I always hang up the phone after a Ray Craw-ford conversation with a smile on my face that lasts a good share of the day.
The other day Ray put something into perspective for me. As our chat was dwin-dling down, he told me that last year on March 15, 2013, he was planting green beans in his garden. Wow! What a difference a year makes! I bet none of you — including Ray — were planting green beans on Saturday!
•••Speaking of warmer weather, spring officially begins
on Thursday just before 1 p.m. You just have to love spring, don’t you? It’s a time of year that offers us so much, if we will just take the time to look around and see the wonders of our world. In my mind, spring offers each of us a second chance ... and who doesn’t like second chances? Happy Spring, my friends! We clearly deserve this one!
•••Today is Election Day. Candidates for the primary
races have their names on the ballot, and they are hopeful you will give them your vote. I understand a lot of people don’t like to vote in primary elections (my grandfather was one of them) because they don’t like to declare a party to get their ballot. Just so you know, you can still go to the polls and ask for a non-partisan ballot, so you can vote on referendum questions. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call the Bureau County Clerk’s office.
•••I hope each of you had a fun-filled St. Patrick’s Day
celebration. It’s been said that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! I know a lot of area restaurants served up some great corned beef and cabbage dinners, not to mention those wonderful Reuben sandwiches. I hope you had the time to patronize your local establishments. I understand there was quite a bit of green beer flowing through Bureau County too!
•••Congratulations are in order for the young people
who were honored recently by the Princeton Chapter of National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution DAR at the group’s annual Youth Day Lun-cheon, including Kelly Van Den Bussche of Princeton Christian Academy as the American History essay win-ner; and high school DAR winners Katelyn DeBrock of Bureau Valley High School, Adilene Gavina of DePue High School, Nathan Tonozzi of Hall High School, Ken-tessa Hartwig of Henry High School, Zachary Hicks of Princeton High School, Jon Mattern of Putnam County High School, Christopher Sampson of St. Bede Academy and Myrah Graham of LaMoille High School. What an honor! Congratulations!
•••I also have to say I am so impressed with the folks at
the Bunker Hill Church of God who are asking for sug-gestions regarding the conversion of a Buda building into a community center for folks of all ages. While it might seem like a huge undertaking — and I’m sure it is, I applaud this area church for their efforts, determi-nation and perseverance. What a great idea! Applause, applause, applause ... If you missed our story on it in last Thursday’s newspaper, you can check it out on our website.
•••Speaking of our website ... Election totals/results will
be posted on www.bcrnews.com. Local totals will be posted Tuesday evening after the polls close and votes are tabulated. Some state races might not be called until later in the evening or until Wednesday. Check back on our website Wednesday to get those final state totals.
•••I hope you have a great week. Please try to be gentle
with one another, for we have no idea what battles everyone is fighting. Also remember to be gentle with yourself. Life is short. Be kind. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.
“Personally it doesn’t bother me to declare one’s party for the primary vote. We should be willing to
stand up and vote for what we believe in.”Steve Sondgeroth, LaMoille
“Yes, it bothers me because it’s no one’s
business which party I am affiliated with.”
Carol Schmidt, LaMoille
“Yes, it bothers me. It’s no one’s business what party I’m voting for.”
Chad Lindenmier, Arlington
“It doesn’t bother me, but I know it does bother a lot of people. That’s the
reason many people won’t vote in the primary.”
Ann Hunter, LaMoille
“Yes, it bothers me. I normally don’t vote a
straight ticket. I vote for who I feel is best for the
job, not the party.”Robert Schmidt, LaMoille
On the street Does it bother you that you have to choose a party in the primary election?

The rattlesnake is one ofthe fastest killers in the animal world. It can strikeat a speed of 10 feet per second and its venom isdeadly.
Rattlesnakes are the most dangerous snakes in America, but they bite onlyif they are frightened orstepped on. So if you are
ever walking in rattler country,watch your step!
The rattlesnake gets its name from the rattlingsound made by the rattling rings on its tail. Youcan tell how old a rattlesnake is by counting itsrattles. Each time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, itgets a new ring on its rattle.
The anaconda is one ofthe world’s largestsnakes. Many grow tobe as long as a schoolbus. To find out thelength, in feet, of thelongest anaconda everfound, add up thenumbers on theanaconda’s body.
A snake is a reptile with a long body andno legs. Moving along without legs couldbe difficult, but snakes have found severalways. Here are two:
The snake scrunchesup its body like an accordionor concertina. First itloops and thenstraightens out, pushing itshead forward. Then it pulls itstail along and starts again.
Some snakes can slide back and forth, grippingthe ground with their belly scales.
When a snake iscreeping, its body is almost straight.Anacondas wait near the water’s
edge for an animal to come and drink. When an unluckycritter comes near, the anaconda windsitself around thecritter, dragsit into thewater andholds it underuntil it drowns.Then the anacondaswallows the animal whole! After a meal,an anaconda will rest for one week.
The anaconda’s favorite meals are hidingin the jungle. Can you find them all?

Birds of Chicago will perform at Princeton
CoffeehousePRINCETON — The
high energy folk group Birds of Chicago will per-form at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday at the Princeton Coffeehouse, located at the Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. in Princeton. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
Birds of Chicago’s cen-tral performers are JT Nero and Allison Russell, who have emerged as two of the most compel-ling new voices in North American Roots music. For several years, Rus-sell and Nero’s respec-tive bands, Po’ Girl (Van-couver, BC) and JT and the Clouds (Chicago), collaborated extensively. In Mountains/Forests, released in 2011 under the JT Nero banner, they tapped into the power of their voices together on an entire record. It
also featured the full cast of characters that round out the Birds of Chicago ensemble — the Clouds and Michelle McGrath, a singer and picker from Southeast Ohio. Their debut release as Birds of Chicago (also the title of the record) was called “as refreshing and rewarding as morning in the reeds with the Audu-bon Society” by Thomas Connor of the Chicago Sun Times.
When Nero and Rus-sell sing together, the audience hears echoes of mountain gospel, street corner doo-wop and classic soul. Banjo and guitar are their accom-paniment when per-forming as a duo. Other times they’re fired by a full band. The two are most at home on the road, playing festivals,
theaters, pub, VFW halls and the like.
The appearance of Birds of Chicago at the Princeton Coffeehouse is sponsored by Steve and Laurie Bonucci.
The Princeton Coffee-house offers a full season of traditional and mod-ern folk, blues and blue-grass music from August through May. All seats
are $12 and are general admission.
Open Prairie is com-pletely accessible and there is ample free park-ing nearby. Fair trade coffee, tea and home-made desserts are avail-able.

Princeton Rotary Club releases scholarship information
PRINCETON — The Princeton Rotary Club has released information about the 2014 Swan-Eickmeier Scholarship Program.
Five $1,000 non-renewable scholarships will be awarded to Princ-eton High School gradu-ating seniors pursuing a two- or four-year col-lege degree. Scholarship funds will be paid direct-ly to students in one installment following graduation. Scholarship money must be applied directly to tuition, room and board, fees, and/or books/media.
The criteria for stu-dents applying for the scholarship will include enrollment as a student at PHS for at least one academic year prior to graduation, the intent to complete a college degree and enrollment as a full-time student at an accredited college or university. Selection will be based on candidate’s academic achievement, extracurricular and community activities,
letters of recommen-dation and a 500-word essay about how Rotary service and ideals will play a role in their life.
“This marks the 14th year the Princeton Rota-ry Club will be offering scholarships,” said Jud-son Lusher, scholarship committee chairman. “The Swan-Eickmeier Scholarship is another way for the Rotary Club to further their support and interest in the edu-cation of Princeton’s young people. Members take great pride in the scholarship program because it helps students financially and furthers our mission of helping others,” he added.
“The scholarships are funded via the various fundraising events spon-sored by the Princeton Rotary Club, includ-ing its annual charity auction.” Lusher said. “It also makes contri-butions to other orga-nizations and programs throughout the commu-nity.”
Founded in 1905,
Rotary International is the world’s first ser-vice club organization. Today, Rotary flourishes worldwide with 1.2 mil-lion neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our commu-nities and around the world. There are 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geograph-ical areas. Its members volunteer in communi-ties at home and abroad to support education and job training, pro-vide clean water, com-bat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio. Rotary members believe it starts with a commit-ment to “Service Above Self”.
Seniors may pick up a Swan-Eickmeier Schol-arship application from counselors in the high school guidance office. Applications must be received by April 11. Notification of the five scholarship award win-ners will occur in May.

Second at State — The Princeton Tiger Special Olympic team took second at state. See Thursday’s BCR for more.
BCR photo/Kevin HieronymusMineral’s Megan Foes helped bring home the IHSA 1A girls state champion-ship trophy to Annawan and Bureau County. The senior guard received fourth team IBCA All-State and AP All-State Honorable Mention honors. LaMoille senior Shiela Browning is the BCR Player of the Year Runner-up.
Mineral spiritsFoes big contributor to Annawan’s state success
Bureau County has never produced a state champion in basketball before.
The 1986 Ohio Bulldogs and 1997 and 1998 Hall Red Devils came close with second-place finishes. The 1955 Princeton Tigers placed fourth in the one class system and the Bureau Valley Storm brought home three straight third-place finishes from 2000-02.
The little town of Mineral on the western edge of Bureau County brings home the first in the form of Megan Foes.
The senior starting guard from Mineral was a big time contributor for Annawan’s 1A state championship run.
She averaged 10.2 points, 4 steals, 4 rebounds and 3 assists a game. Those num-bers came playing for a state champion which included two other AP All-State picks in Celina VanHyfte and Cierra Davis.
She was named as a first-team Lincoln Trail All-Conference selection and recog-nized with Fourth Team IBCA All-State and All-State Honorable Mention honors.
She is now the 2013-14 BCR Player of the Year.

team, said his Bravettes couldn’t have done it without her.
“She has truly been a joy for me and Annawan fans to watch on the court over the years. As a coach, however, I always remember the things people don’t often see,” he said. “Megan is all character. She led the charge when it came to unselfish play. She held play-ers accountable in practice for doing their part. She was a sweetheart off the court and in between whistles, but when the ball was in play, she had an atti-tude. The attitude every coach loves to see.
“Megan knew that when you stepped onto the court there was going to be a winner and a loser and from the opening tip to the very last buzzer she was going to work as hard as she could to make sure her team came out the winner.”
Mineral High School closed her doors in May of 1961 and sent their students to Annawan in the fall. Mineral has contin-ued to send quality athletes to AHS over the years and Foes is the latest to make the 4.4 mile, eight-minute trip each day on Route 6.
“I feel like she lives right next door to all of them. I don’t think it separates us at all that I live in a different town or anything. It’s three towns that make up Annawan and we just come together and have fun,” Foes said.
And fun they did in bringing back the first state champion-ship of any sports to Annawan, a town well known for its strong sense of pride and tradition for its sports programs.
“It’s definitely started to sink in, but I don’t think I will fully feel it until a few years down the road and when I say, ‘Oh yeah, we did do that,’” she said. “In third grade, we set this goal for ourselves that we wanted to win state one day and we did it. .... It definitely took a lot of hard work and dedication and some great coaches and the commu-
nity backing us long the way.”Foes also leaves with a lot
satisfaction with how her year went individually.
“I put a lot of hard work and it seemed like it paid off. All of us put in what we needed to do and then we put our skills together, which ultimately ended with a state championship,” she said.
The one night that Foes real-ly seemed to put everything together came at the State Farm Classic in Bloomington, when she sank eight 3-point shots against Brimfield. The night’s still kind of a blur to her.
“I was talking to my mom and dad after that night and I don’t remember how it happened. I was just hot that night and my
teammates kept passing me the ball, and I was open. So I shot,” she said.
She another record-setting performance when she had nine steals in each state tournament game, using her ball-hawking efforts to help the Bravettes. Foes was the benefactor of the Bravettes’ vaunted 1-2-2 press.
“Everybody on our team makes stuff happen for every-body else. If they’re not the ones getting recognized, they’re sure-ly the ones helping the others get recognized,” she said, noting how her team’s unselfish play was the secret to their success.
Foes is one of several basket-ball players moving on to soft-ball, where there is promise for
more success.“I think we’ll go farther than a
lot of people expect,” said Foes.An ace pitcher, Foes will be
taking her talents to play soft-ball for Illinois Central College in East Peoria next year and looking forward to what the future holds for her there.
“I’m gonna miss basketball and volleyball and my team-mates from Annawan a lot. The future’s really bright. It seems like a great organization just like Bravette basketball here,” she said.
You get just one chance to make a good first chance impression. Princ-eton’s Zoe Mead, Colbi Schertz and Sierra Storm made the most of theirs in Saturday’s First Chance Indoor Invitational at the Westwood Complex in Sterling.
The meet is set up as an A-B-C meet with the best athlete in the A divisions, followed by the second best athlete in the B divi-sions, and the third best athlete in the C division.
Mead won the 800-meter run with a time of 2:25.99, breaking her own PHS indoor record she set last year at 2:26.91. PHS coach Pat Hodge said Mead looked a little tired from running record 400 times on Thursday, but “still ran fast enough to break her own indoor mark.”
Schertz used a PHS meet best throw of 35-7 1/2 to win the shot put while Storm placed third in the pole vault (7-6).
Princeton and Bureau Valley boys also ran Sat-urday. In the pole vault, Princeton had a fourth-place finish in the A Divi-sion from Drew Pranka (10-6), a third-place fin-ish in the B Division from Dominic Biggs (8-6) and a fourth-place finish in the C Division from Michael Warren (6-6).
In triple jump, Princ-eton’s Luke Marselle fin-ished sixth in the A Divi-sion with a jump of 38-1 and Brent Loftus finished sixth (32-4) in the C Divi-sion.
Bureau Valley’s Austin Seitter won a gold medal in the C Division of the shot put with a throw of 45-4.
