The first batch of Concealed Carry License applications has been approved and is ready to be printed and mailed in Illinois.

The Illinois State Police (ISP) has announced 5,000 Concealed Carry Licenses (CCL) have been approved so far. Since the process began, the ISP has received more than 50,000 applications and objected to more than 800. To date, no objection has been appealed.

On Thursday, Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson said every application from a Bureau County resident comes across his desk for a 30-day review period. If there are any objections, he could intervene and file his concerns with the state police. All law enforcement agencies have that right, he said.

As far as locally, Thompson said about 150 applications came across his desk during that first week. The average age of the Bureau County applicants was probably 60 years old. There were both male and female applicants. The oldest male applicant was 78 years old. The oldest female applicant was 76 years old.

Thompson said he had no objections to the applications he has received. These applicants are good people who just want to express their rights to carry a concealed weapon; they are our neighbors, the sheriff said.

The CCL training is very thorough with multiple pages on all the restrictions which go along with carrying a concealed weapon, including learning the sites where weapons cannot be carried, like school grounds, Thomp-son said. In addition, commercial places, like businesses, have the right to post a restriction on their own properties as well.

Judge to rule on fate of Arlington animals

Rob Pozzi dies at 51

By Donna Barker [email protected]

ARLINGTON/SPRINGFIELD — The out-come as to the future care of 13 Bureau County dogs and seven horses is now in the hands of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

After a three-hour hearing on Wednes-day in Springfield, the Illinois Department of Agriculture judge has a five-day period in which to make his decision.

Wednesday’s hearing stems from a

recent investigation into the care of ani-mals owned by Dan Labounty of rural Arlington. At that time, there were thought to be about 20 beagles and seven horses on the property.

Bureau County Animal Control Officer Scott Robbins has removed 13 beagles from the Labounty property, and those dogs remain under the county’s care. The horses remain on the rural Arlington prop-erty with the county overseeing their care.

On Thursday, Robbins said he was one of seven people who testified at Wednesday’s

hearing. Also testifying were an investiga-tor with the Illinois Department of Agricul-ture whom Robbins had called to the rural Arlington site, Labounty, and four repre-sentatives of Illinois Valley Animal Rescue.

In addition, the Illinois Department of Agriculture also had its attorney present as well as the state’s veterinarian.

The hearing went well, Robbins said. The judge heard all parties speak and has five days to make a decision, he said.

SPRING VALLEY — After battling an extended illness, Bureau County Board member Rob Pozzi, 51, died Wednesday morning at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

Pozzi was elected to the Bureau County Board in 2000 and took his seat in December of that year. He represented District 24, which includes the west-ern portion of Spring Val-ley and rural areas toward DePue.

A family man, a leader in the Democratic party, a problem-solver and more ... colleagues and friends didn’t hesitate to describe a man who they called passionate in all aspects of life.

“We went to kindergar-ten together. We made our first communions together. We were friends for life. He’s one of the best friends I’ve ever had. We’ve been friends for 50 years,” said Illinois State Rep. Frank Mautino of Spring Valley.

“He had a great passion for everything in life. He loved family, and he loved fun. But he could be very

Grant will benefit Hispanic community

Red Cross work continues for tornado victims

By Donna Barker [email protected].

PRINCETON — The Freedom House domestic shelter in Princeton has received a grant from the Women’s Fund of Central Illinois.

Program Services Direc-tor for Freedom House Sharon Mindock said Freedom House received a $5,000 grant to pro-vide outreach services to the Hispanic popu-lation. Reaching out to Latino women will offer Spanish-speaking women the opportunity to learn about the cycle of vio-lence and how to seek help when needed, she said.

Through informal meet-ings based in the Hispan-ic community, Freedom House will offer education and support to this high-risk population, Mindock said. The goal of the pro-gram is to increase the safety and well-being of this minority group.

Specifically, one of the under-served populations in the Freedom House service area is the Hispan-ic community in DePue, Mindock said. A part-time Hispanic advocate will be responsible for providing case management and other services to meet the needs of individuals and families in the communi-ty. That person has been hired and is in place.

The details of the DePue outreach are still being determined, including the

location for the meetings and whether this would be a group-type setting or individual meetings. Min-dock said Freedom House has been meeting with individuals from the area already.

According to the press release announcing the Freedom House grant, it is estimated that every nine seconds a women is bat-tered, and that violence will occur at least once in two-thirds of all marriag-es. Twenty-five percent of the women in the United States, approximately 12 million, will be abused by their current or former partners at some point in their lifetime. Three to four million are physically abused each year.

There can be some challenges in providing services to the Latino community because of a potential language barrier and also different ideas about seeking outside help, Mindock said.

“Bringing domestic violence detection, edu-cation and prevention directly to women in their home community will help these women learn it is OK to ask for help while supporting them in their cultural needs,” Mindock said.

Freedom House is the only recognized domestic and sexual violence ser-vice agency for the coun-ties of Bureau, Marshall, Putnam, Stark and Henry.

PRINCETON — The American Red Cross is still needing help with the tornado-recovery efforts in Washington, Ill.

In November 2013, an EF4 tornado roared through Central Illinois, killing seven people and damaging more than 1,000 homes in Wash-ington.

On Friday, Bureau County Red Cross direc-tor Lori Compton said the Red Cross remains

on site and continues its case work with families. The Red Cross is doing a lot of referral work in helping families get their needs met. Red Cross volunteers, which have included Bureau Coun-ty residents, continue to work on three-week schedules, she said.

The need is still great in Washington and the Red Cross will remain there indefinitely until the needs are met, Compton said. When you consider the extent of the devastation of the November tornado and

the hindrance caused by the cold and snowy winter, she’s sure there’s still much to be done as far as clean-up and, of course, the start of rebuilding homes, she said.

Compton urged Bureau County residents to con-tinue to be generous in the giving to the disaster relief program through the American Red Cross. Though the need may be in Washington right now, the next time it could be a tornado or flooding much closer to home, right here in

Bureau County, she said.On Wednesday, Gov.

Pat Quinn announced a $45 million state relief package to help Illi-nois local governments in nine Central Illinois counties recover from the November torna-does. This assistance was assembled at Quinn’s direction following the Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency denial of the state’s appeal for federal disaster assis-tance for local govern-ments.

As he understands, the CCL is a five-year license, which will then have to be renewed.

As far as alleviating concerns from some res-idents about the CCL, Thompson said he’s com-fortable with having the CCL program in place. The screening and train-

ing is thorough. There hasn’t been an increase in crime nationwide in those states allow-ing concealed weapons, but even a decrease in violent crimes in some areas, he said.

As listed on the ISP website, Bureau Coun-ty’s seven approved con-cealed carry instructors are Tom Root, Sherman Brumley, Mark Credi,

Rebecca Nielsen, Kemp Smith, Agraciado Irizar-ry and Leonard Racine Jr. Contact informa-tion on the instructors is available through the ISP website.

The CCL application requires the applicant to possess a valid Firearms Owner’s Identification card (FOID), or to apply for a FOID in conjunc-tion with the CCL, to

begin the application process. Background checks are simultane-ously conducted by state police while local law enforcement agencies review the applications for objections.

Illinois is the 50th of the 50 states to pass concealed carry legisla-tion.

serious when necessary with the county board and with his business,” he said.

Mautino said he was a people person and inte-gral to the Democrat Party in Bureau County.

“He loved politics. He made the county board meetings fun and inter-esting. He was always well-prepared, and he understood his issues. And he had the ability to persuade people to bring them around to his thinking.

“I think he would like to be remembered as a good father, a strong husband and a good man,” Mautino said. “I lost a great friend.”

Dean Devert of Ladd said he had known Pozzi since high school, and the two have been close friends for the last 15 years. Pozzi was in his wedding. Pozzi was someone he could count on and vice versa, Devert said.

He described his friend as “witty, intelli-gent, unafraid and char-ismatic.”

Devert also served on the Bureau County Board member with Pozzi for a time. As a county board member, Pozzi didn’t shy await

from the big issues, and no one ever had to won-der where he stood on an issue, Devert said.

As a family man, Devert said Pozzi loved his wife and daugh-ter. Pozzi knew it was a blessing when his daughter was born. Pozzi had always loved horses, and his daugh-ter developed a love for horses as well. They did a lot of horse shows together.

When asked how he thought his friend would like to be remembered, Devert talked about the things that made Pozzi unique.

“I think Rob would

like to be remembered as being one-of-a-kind, for not being afraid,” Devert said. “He went into anything he did 100 percent, and he was usually successful in everything he did.”

Mary Jane Marini of Spring Valley has known Pozzi and his wife and their families for years. Marini also served on the Bureau County Board with Pozzi.

“What I liked about Rob was the fire and feistiness that he always had. I didn’t always agree with Rob, but I always appreciated his fire. And he always had a means to support his opinion. He wasn’t afraid to make a state-ment, and he would pur-sue it with a diligence,” Marini said. “He was a man of the people.”

She will remember how Pozzi sat on the front row, end seat, at county board meetings, and how he would twirl around in his seat, lis-ten to others, and then express his opinions. Marini said Pozzi had a way of bringing the topic right back to the main point. He was a

good board member, she said.

“Rob was feisty and had fire, but all that was combined with compas-sion,” Marini said.

Above all, Pozzi was a devoted family man and devoted to his daughter, she said.

Former Bureau Coun-ty Board member Korter “Butch” Moran sat next to Pozzi at county board meetings. The two were colleagues and friends.

“The recent death of our friend and Bureau County Board mem-ber Rob Pozzi is just a reminder that life is short, to say the least,” Moran said. “Rob was a very responsible indi-vidual and also a very loyal friend. We served on the Bureau County Board together, and the one thing we could all count on from Rob was he would share his vast knowledge of what was going on with the other board members.

“Honesty and integrity were his best friends,” Moran added. “How sad that we lost a friend and a leader in our county.”

Taxing your tummy for your

own good

Match game

On a recent Sunday morning, before going to church, my little daughter found me sitting at the corner of my bed, nervously glanc-ing from side to side, mumbling, “… can’t find a matcher … can’t find a matcher …” over, and over again, oblivious to the fact that she was even in the room with me. As she shook my forearm and asked me what was wrong, I looked deeply into her frightened blue eyes and said, “We have a sock situation.”

Here’s the deal. I grew up in an old farmhouse with an unheated upstairs. Because of this, socks have always been important to me. Not only for warmth and comfort but also for that added peace-of-mind in knowing that if the house catches fire during the night, my feet won’t get cold while standing in the dewy grass.

We are kindred spirits, my socks and me. We go everywhere together. “Why be barefoot when you can wear a pair of socks?” has always been my motto. When I’m old, I plan on being that guy at Disneyland holding his wife’s purse while wearing sandals and white knee-high socks. Hopefully I’ll be wearing other stuff too, but as long as I have the socks, I’ll be good.

As much as I love the act of wearing socks, early on in our marriage, my wife and I came to the conclusion that we both hate the task of folding socks. The whole process of sorting though the pile of hosiery to find “the matchers,” as we like to refer to them, and then wadding them together to stick in a sock drawer, just seemed like a big waste of time. Time that could be bet-ter used to watch the hilarious exploits of Honey Boo Boo and her family. We both literally hate organizing and folding socks. In fact, on more than one occasion in my adult life, I have made the following statement: “If I am ever

as rich as Michael Jordan, I would never wear the same pair of socks twice.” It’s good to have dreams.

So the system that we have adapted for the most part is one where all of the laundered socks are stored in a clothes basket in the bedroom and on the occa-sion that new socks are needed, the person requiring the footwear will sort through the pile until finding the “matchers.” I usually yell “Bingo!” to alert other family members of my successes. It’s a good system. Or at least it usually is. Until that fateful Sunday morn-ing.

Over the years, myself and a group of Western European dip-lomats have developed a color-coded system, recognized by both NATO and the United Nations, to effectively assess my sock situa-tion on a daily basis. For my own personal purposes, all color-coded designations are made courtesy of the fine folks at the Crayola Cray-on corporation. Here they are:

Periwinkle Blue: This designates that all current footwear is almost relatively hole-free and more or less matches in color, size, elastic-ity and general appearance.

Dandelion Yellow: This indi-cates that I am experiencing a sock dilemma. Upon my first rummaging of the sock basket, no suitable matches have been dis-covered. I start to question myself that maybe my standards are just too darn high.

Mango Tango Orange: I am now beginning to experience the first effects of a full-on sock emergency. This means that I have exhausted the search of the basket and have gone to checking under the bed and/or couch for strays. This is now turning from a rescue mission into more of a recovery operation. Families might need to be notified.

Burnt Sienna: The situation has now escalated into a Category-One Sock Disaster. (You can tell the seriousness I am trying to convey by my usage of capital letters.) No matching socks have been found at this juncture, and prospects do not look promising. I have been known to actually check the “crisper” drawer in the refrigerator just to be thorough. At this point, generals gather in the White House situation room to retrieve the nuclear codes and get their keys ready in case of impending world-wide pandemo-nium. It’s always good to be pre-pared.

Wild Watermelon Red: A complete and total sock catas-trophe has just occurred. All sock-matching hope has been abandoned. Thankfully, this has never occurred. However, scien-tists planning for this eventual-ity have made comparisons to a meteor striking the earth and plunging us into another ice age. In other words, a total and com-plete obliteration of society as we know it. This might be why we don’t have dinosaurs anymore. If this ever happens, I plan to climb back under the covers in my mismatched stockings, play that Aerosmith song and wait for the impending Armageddon.

Luckily, that Sunday morning, I was mercifully able to scrape together a pair that were some-what similar in hue but woefully different in length and texture. Since we were running late for church, I decided that this was my best option, and I pulled the two strangers on to my feet and stuck them in my shoes. As I entered the sun-filled sanctuary, I don’t know if anyone else could tell, but I was walking with a noticeable limp.

Until that moment, I never knew how good Michael Jordan has it.

I’m dragging a dead horse back out again – one I flogged within the last month or so – because the leg-islation of your life is apparently not leaving anytime soon.

Meet Mattie Hunter, a Democratic State Senator from Chicago (of course). Hunter wants to save you from being fat, by targeting what she sees as the great “ruin-er” of waist-lines throughout the state.

Does Hunter want to restrict your access to Krispy Kremes, or Twinkies or potato chips? No, her target is more insidious with a method that only a politician could love.

Ms. Hunter, seeing sodas and energy drinks as the antithesis of health, has proposed a tax on carbonated sugary beverages. And since nothing succeeds like excess, she’s going for the jugular with a 1 cent tax per ounce. Yes, per ounce. That means that 89 cents for the two liter bottle of Great Value cola you bought at Walmart last week will run another 68 cents if Mad Mattie has her way.

In a way, you can’t blame Hunter; she’s lost five immediate family members to health problems brought on by unhealthy diets. In her mind, what she’s doing is right for the state, its people and the business climate of Illinois.

Not all that long ago, I was addicted to soda. A six pack of Dr. Pepper in a day was not unusual and a hot day of outdoor recreation meant a 12 pack or more. I’ll admit, when I stopped drinking soda, my weight dropped 40 pounds almost overnight.

But that was my choice. You can’t legislate people’s beverage choices; it doesn’t work. The same measure was tried in health-conscious California and trendy New York where it failed miserably. Prohibition stands as the greatest testament to the people’s desire to have something and consequences be darned.

Good for the job atmosphere, she said? Only if you live in Davenport or St. Louis where more than a few people are going to drive and stock up on 24 packs of Coca-Cola rather than pay a $3 tax per case. It was only 25 years ago people would drive across the coun-try to buy Coors beer in Colorado because it was illegal in much of the country. What were we thinking?

Hunter’s figures indicate an extra $600 million will pour into state coffers, where half of the proceeds from her Healthy Eating, Active Living Act would go toward funding Medicaid, and of course, healthy lifestyle edu-cation.

“We understand this is a challenge,” Hunter said. “But even if it takes three years, five years, we’re going to hang in there.”

Meanwhile, at Wrigley Field, my beer is going to cost less than my neighbor’s cola. I wonder if Mattie’s related to Anheuser-Busch?

ELECT

JAMES A. SHIPPBUREAU COUNTY SHERIFF

Hello! I am James A. (Jim) Shipp, 58, of rural Princeton. I am currently Commander of the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, and am seeking election to the Office of Bureau County Sheriff in 2014 on the Republican Party ticket.

I am married to the former Deb Anderson of Ohio, IL. and have three children, Jamie (Shane) Pennington, Adam (Holly), and Sarah. I also have three grandchildren, Kelsey, Kailey and Matthew.

I was born and raised in Bureau County and attended Hall High School. I began my public service at the age of 19 for 10/33 and Bureau ambulance service. I began my law enforcement career in 1977 for the Village of Bureau and graduated from the University of Illinois Police Training Institute in 1980. I was hired at the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department in 1981 by former Sheriff Mel Hult In addition to working full-time at the Bureau County Sheriff s Office in every capacity, I have worked as a part-time patrolman for the Village of Bureau (still holding the title of Chief of Police), 15 years for the Village of DePue (with the rank of Sergeant), and currently am in my 7th year as patrolman for the Village of Tiskilwa. I was elected President of Lodge 222 Fraternal Order of Police, a position I held for 11 years. I qualified and am a graduate (class of 2005) of the “Police Executive Role In the 21st Century” through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Executive Institute. I have over 2200 hours of ongoing law enforcement training through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, Police Training Institute, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Illinois Emergency Management Agency and other organizations. I have also received several commendations from the Department and numerous individuals, agencies and organizations.

During my career, I have also responded to and been actively involved with the Utica tornado, Euclid chemical fire in Sheffield, Tiskilwa train derailment, Washington tornado and the recent snow-bound Amtrak trains, to name a few.

I have just completed my 18th year working security for St. Margaret’s Hospital and am the Operations Director in central Illinois for Illinois Security Services. I am also a Private Investigator for Petentler Investigations.

I am currently involved in the following organizations/ agencies:

• Past President and current member of the Illinois Valley Association of Chiefs of Police• State certified with IEMA- All Hazard Type III COML• State certified First Responder• Coordinator for Bureau/Putnam County Crime Stoppers• Chair of the Bureau County Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP)• Manage the Bureau County Homeland Security Mobile Communication Center• Member of the Bureau/Putnam County Local Emergency Planning Committee• Member of the Illinois Valley Crime Prevention Commission• Member of Bureau/Putnam County Emergency Preparedness Community Partners• Member of the Bureau County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency• Representative on the Bureau Emergency Communications Board (BuEComm)• A 31-year member of the Bureau Fire Department, currently holding the title of Captain

I have dedicated my life to public service for 39 years and am ready to serve the citizens of Bureau County as their Sheriff.

THIS IS MY PLEDGE TO THE CITIZENS OF BUREAU COUNTY:

• I will save the taxpayers a minimum of $100,000 my first term in office. In no way will this affect the performance of the Sheriff’s Department.

• I will personally opt out of the county retirement, therefore, saving the taxpayers their share of the county’s contribution.

• Reduce overtime • Save vehicle maintenance and repair costs• I will increase patrol by reassigning personnel for vigilant patrol in rural areas and

villages that do not have law enforcement and continue to work with villages that have police departments.

• I will continue to support TRI-DENT (Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team).• I will continue to support and finance the D.A.R.E. programs in the Bureau County

Schools.• I will work with all law enforcement agencies by meeting with them to accomplish

better communication and a working relationship.• One of my goals is to meet with the Village Mayors, Fire Chiefs, EMS Directors, and

Township Officials at least once a year to discuss any concerns they may have, in addition to having an open-door policy to everyone.

As a Bureau County taxpayer myself, I feel it is financially irresponsible to spend in excess of $20 thousand on my campaign. Therefore, if elected, I would donate that personal money back to the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office to purchase a new patrol car.

Within the first minute after taking the oath for Bureau County Sheriff, I will be able to manage that office. I am the candidate who has worked, supervised, and commanded every aspect of the Sheriff’s Office. I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE WITH 33 YEARS OF BUREAU COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE EXPERIENCE.

I sincerely hope you will vote for me and give me the opportunity to prove I am experienced and dedicated to represent the citizens of Bureau County.

If you’re not a farmer, when you think of cattle, what do you think of?

More than likely, you probably think of those black and white milk cows that you see on TV.

Believe it or not, there are more than 120 breeds of cattle around the world. They come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Each breed has something special that they are known for such as meat, milk, mothering ability and heat/cold tolerance.

When I think of cattle, I think of the Hereford breed. They are red with white faces, and they are well known for their good temperament and hardiness.

My name is Lauren McMillan, I am 12 years old, and I live on a small farm near Tiskilwa.

We have 40 acres, raise Hereford cattle and hay. In addition to cows, we also have a horse, two dogs and a lot of cats.

I started showing cat-tle when I was 7 years old. We mainly show in the summer time

because I’m in school during the winter shows. I love going to shows because I love the com-petition, and it is great seeing my friends from all over the state.

My mom’s name is Jodi, and my dad’s name is Kyle. They are the people who got me started on this great journey. I am an only child, so the three of us work together. Our farm is called Rustic Oaks Farm. We got that name from my grandma and grandpa’s farm, and I hope to carry that name on when I have a farm of my own.

It is a lot of work to take care of cattle. You have to make sure they are not sick, fed right, have fresh water, and in my case with show cattle, washed and brushed regularly. This has to be done every day; it doesn’t matter if

I was up late the night before and would prefer to have a lazy day. It has to be done if it is rain-ing, 100 degrees, snow-ing or like this winter for many days, below zero! My animals depend on me and my family to make sure they are healthy and happy. So our schedules are often planned around chores, calving season and shows.

I love being part of the cattle business. Every year we go to a big show that is attended by people from all over the United States — the Junior National Her-eford Expo. It is held in a different state every year, so we get to visit new parts of the United States every summer. It is so cool to meet other people from other states there.

At Junior Nationals you don’t just show cows; there are so many more activities to compete in. There are creative arts contests, speech con-tests, talent contests, marketing contest, fitting contest, quiz bowl, grill

off, photography contest, showmanship and even a bean bag competition. There is something for everyone to participate in whether it is as an individual or a member of a team.

I look forward to shar-ing my cattle experiences with you throughout the year! I hope you will get to see what it’s like to be a farm kid that is involved in the 4-H and the National Junior Her-eford Association, and to learn from my everyday experiences at the farm as well as activities at shows and contests.

No orientation neededPHS frosh steps upwith the big boysBy Kevin Hieronymus

PRINCETON — Austin Wet-sel didn’t need a freshmen ori-entation when it came to wres-tling. He was well prepared.

The Princeton freshman stepped up this season, posting an area-best 30-14 record in his first dose of varsity compe-tition.

He was a regional runner-up, missing out on the title by one point, and missed out qualify-ing for state by two matches.

This week he has received second-team honors in the Three Rivers, a conference that

produced six state medalists and a third-place dual meet team.

And now he wears the crown as the 2014 BCR Wrestler of the Year. He is the first freshman to earn that honor.

“I have a lot of experience. It was kind of scary wrestling seniors, but not that bad,” he said.

PHS coach Steve Amy said Wetsel wasn’t your typical freshman with little experience, having wrestled a long time coming up through Tiger Town.

“This season Austin really did a great job stepping up and performing at a very high level. I think as a freshman coming in to the varsity level you don’t expect to have the type of success he was able to

have,” Amy said. “A lot of that comes from his work ethic as well as the time he has put in to the sport. From day one of the season he stepped in and took over the leadership role with his work ethic.”

Wetsel said he got started on the mats for Tiger Town at the age 6 or 7. While he didn’t have all the success he would have liked, he gained invaluable experience.

“I only made it to state once. That was kind of a bummer. I guess I did OK and got the state series once, and that didn’t go to well,” he said.

The Tiger cub started the season at 126 pounds, where he said most of the kids were big-ger than he is, but still posted

Colfax Sectional semifinal: Putnam County 58, Roanoke-Benson 41

Panthers put it on the lineBy Dan Dwyer

[email protected] — The Putnam

County Panthers came through when they needed to the most at the free-throw line to down Roanoke-Benson 58-41 in sec-tional semifinal play Wednesday night in Colfax.

The Panthers were 6 of 18 from the line for the game until senior guard Harold Fay and senior forward Evan Kreiser combined to go 9 for 12 from the charity stripe in the final minute of the game.

“We struggled there to start the game, but down the stretch it was Harold and Evan shoot-ing them. They’re seniors and

leaders. They stepped up and knocked them down,” Putnam County coach Josh Nauman said.

Kreiser knew they would be keying on him to take jump shots so he shifted gears in the fourth quarter to get to the free-throw line.

“I knew they were going to be watching my jump shot because I’ve been hitting it most of the year so I wanted to take it, draw fouls and make it from the free-throw line,” Kreiser said.

Each team got off to slow starts as each team had trouble converting turnovers into bas-kets on the other end of the floor.

PRINCETON — Former Princeton Tiger basketball players will get the chance to suit up one more time in Prouty Gym.

Princeton High School will be hosting an alumni basketball game for all former play-ers at 2 p.m. April 5. The format will depend upon the number and ages of players, but PHS athletic director and head varsity coach Jesse Brandt said they will likely be divided by players graduating in odd numbered years vs. players graduating in even numbered years.

“I am looking forward to former players coming back to PHS and getting to play in Prouty gym. I am hoping we get a lot of guys to play,” Brandt said. “I look forward to meeting some of the players that were here before me and getting to watch them play.”

The cost is $20, which includes a num-bered T-shirt. Interested alumni may call Brandt at 815-875-3308 to sign up. They will need to sign a waiver form.

• On the mend: LaMoille/Ohio coach Brent Kalsto is home recovering from corrective heart surgery. He said he was able to get home a little ahead of schedule. Assistant coach Curt Folk took over for Kalsto during regionals.

• 1,000-point club: Mendota junior John Carroll became the latest member of the 1,000 point club, going over the coveted century mark Feb. 14. With 1,073, he’ll have a shot at Willie Hanson’s No. 2 slot with 1,685. Don Hamel (class of 1969) stands No. 1 at 2,158.

Previously this season, seniors Harold Fay of PC, Shiela Browning of LaMoille and John Carroll of Ottawa joined the 1,000-point club.

“I’m sure a lot of it was nerves playing in a sectional game but we calmed down there at the end, and we were able to pull it out,” Nauman said.

The Panthers looked to be right in it at the half as senior forward Michael Doss was fouled on a made basket on a play in the paint. Doss converted the one and one to pull Roa-noke within one with 35 seconds to play in the half.

Fay came up huge on the next Panthers’ possession as he pulled up at the top of the key with 8 seconds to play in the half and drilled the three-pointer to give the Panthers a 22-18 lead at the break.

“It seemed like we were able to do just enough. I don’t remember them taking a lead after real early in the game but we never had it up more than 5 or 6 points,” Nauman said. “It was just kind of (them) hanging around there the whole time. It’s a typical sectional game, it was back and forth, it was tight, teams were playing hard, and we made enough plays at the end to get it done.”

Kreiser extended the Panther lead to six, their largest of the evening at that point, on a layup after making a nice spin move on the block at the

7:33 mark of the fourth quarter.

“We started off a little slow. Toward the end, like we usually do, we came out and played a lot tougher than we did the first half,” Kreiser said.

Kreiser led all scorers with 18 points and Fay added 15.

Putnam County never trailed during the con-test but also never led by more than 6 points until the final 16 seconds of the game.

an impressive 22-8 record. He dropped to 120 later in the season.

He’s still kicking him-self about the regional championship that got away. He gave up the first takedown and had to wrestle from behind, falling 6-5 to take second.

“I could have beat him, easily. I just wasn’t ready to go,” Wetsel said.

Things didn’t go the way he would have liked at sectional either. He was able to win once in wrestlebacks, but not all the way to get in to contention for state.

“It makes me frus-trated, because I could have done better,” said Wetsel, who absorbed 10 losses to ranked wrestlers with three wins. “I wrestled like crap that last match, I wrestled like crap that second day, actually, at sectionals. I don’t know what was up.

“I’m happy with win-ning 30 matches, but I was really hoping to go to state. I was two matches from going, That kind of bummed me out.”

State is the one goal he has set his sights on.

“I want to place at state, that’s my only goal,” he said. “I don’t care if it’s first, second, third all the way down.

I just want to place. I want to get one of those green plaques.”

Amy doesn’t doubt he will.

“Austin is always wanting to get better, that drive to be the best is what all coaches want from their athletes,” he said. “He isn’t satisfied with the season he had. In fact I would say he is upset with himself after watching guys that he beat wrestle at the state tournament.

“Even though the sea-son is over, he is still in wrestling 2-3 times a week. And that is what it will take to be a state champion.”

Wetsel figures his time is coming, being just a freshmen.

“I think once all the seniors and juniors get out of here, then I’ll start getting it. I didn’t really lose to other freshmen and sophomores, it was

like to the juniors and seniors. They’re going to be gone next year.”

He’s already getting a head start, qualify-ing for this weekend’s freshmen-sophomore sectional having placed second at regionals.
