Putnam County examining options for recovery spending KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com HENNEPIN — Putnam County’s board and treasurer are exploring options for spending American Recovery Plan funds that may soon be coming to the county.

Treasurer Kevin Kunkel told the board that the county may be able to get reimbursement for COVID-related expenses to the tune of just over $1 million.

Kunkel says he’s still waiting to hear back when and how much the county may get, but he believes the initial payment should be about $550,000 with another $550,000 allotted in 12 months. The county would have until December of 2024 to spend the money.

The funds can be used for infrastructure repair like courthouse upgrades-security, plexiglass panels and other protective measures, as well as for highway use. Kunkel says he’ll find out more about what is reimburs-

able at a treasurer’s conference this month.

Convalescing girl who donated to Illinois Valley Animal Rescue now is cancer-free

Avery Sontheimer, who’s given to nearly 3,000 shelters, is in remission TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com Her donation to Illinois Valley Animal Rescue in La Salle was for a grand total of $5, but already it looks like the best money Avery Sontheimer ever spent.

Avery, 14, is the Pennsylvania girl who, from her sick bed, sent monetary donations to animal shelters across the donation. The folks at IVAR were moved to tears and sent out prayer offerings as Avery battled a rare cancer.

This week, Avery sent out a happy update: All the prayers worked and she’s cancer-free.

“It’s a blessing that I’m in remission,” said Avery, who nonetheless must undergo some precautionary radiation treatments. “I’m very thankful so I can continue to help animals. Thank you for everyone who said prayers for me through this tough time.”

Chris Tomsha, executive director at IVAR, rejoiced when she got the news.

“I was very excited for her,” Tomsha said. “Praise God.” Tomsha called upon fellow prayer warriors after getting a $5 Walmart

Avery Sontheimer gift card from Avery, a resident of Corry, Pennsylvania. Avery included a note explaining that she’d launched a fundraiser for animal shelters a year earlier.

As word spread that Avery was battling cancer – Ewing sarcoma, a cancer affecting the bones or adjoining tissue – donations poured in and she issued gift cards to nearly 3,000 shelters nationwide.

“You’re one of the places I chose to help because of my passion for animals,” Avery had written to IVAR. “Thanks for everything you do.”

Avery may be cancer-free but Avery’s Pawsitive Change, launched in March 2020, still is open for business. To donate, visit Avery’s Pawsitive Change on Facebook or www. gofundme.com/f/avery039s-pawsitive-change.

“I love helping animals,” said Avery, whose dream is to open a shelter in the underserved area by home in northwest Pennsylvania. “I was hoping by sending gift cards to shelters I could help just a little and also an encouraging letter because animal shelter life is not easy.”

Firefighters mourn loss of Lacon-Sparland firefighter Firefighter died after sustaining injuries from a fire at his family’s property in Sparland The Lacon and Sparland communities are mourning the death of a local firefighter on April 15.

Lacon-Sparland firefighter Chaise Mangold died from injuries sustained April 10 in a fire at a family property in Sparland, said the Lacon-Sparland Fire District.

Chaise and his father Pat, along with two other family members, were taken to a Springfield hospital’s burn unit for recovery.

The fire department made the announcement at about 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

Chaise was a member of the fire department for

3 1/2 years.

“As a firefighter he put up an incredible fight but for reasons we may never know the Lord had other plans and he was taken away from us at a very young age,” the fire district wrote on its Facebook page. ... He will be deeply missed.

We ask you keep the Mangold and Chaise Mangold Murphy families in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

Other local fire departments expressed their condolences.

“Our prayers are with your department and the Mangold family during this time. Please reach out if you need anything at all,” wrote the Cedar Point Fire Department.

“All of you are in our prayers during this difficult time. Please reach out to us if you need any-

thing,” wrote the Peru Fire Department.

“Condolences from the Chillicothe Community Fire Protection District and the Fred Meister Chillicothe Community Firefighters Association during this difficult time. Please reach out if anything is needed.”

“The Henry Fire Department would like to extend our deepest condolences to Chaise’s family, The Lacon-Sparland Fire Dept and all who knew him.”

“Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Chaise Mangold and to the members of the Lacon Sparland Fire Department. We will continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers,” the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department wrote.

“Prayers being sent to Chaise’s friends, family and the Lacon - Sparland Fire Protection District as they mourn the loss of one of their own,” wrote the La Salle Fire Department after it changed its profile picture to honor Chaise Mangold.

36 days on the run: Sophie is home

Shetland sheepdog missing from Granville is found in Streator; returned home safely SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK After more than a month on the run, Sophie, a 2-year-old Shetland Sheepdog, is back home in Granville.

Sophie was found April 13 on Airport Road, just east of Streator, and recovered by La Salle County Animal Control Officer Gary Wind, Jordan Donnelly and Streator Animal Control Officer Amy Ragusa.

In a video posted by Streator Animal Control, Sophie jumped excitedly with her tail wagging as her owner exclaimed: “Hi, momma’s baby girl.”

“The farmer who owns the field was nice enough to give us permission to do what we had to in order to catch her,” Ragusa said on Facebook. “Jordan Donnelly asked if I could use his help, he showed up on a four-wheeler, which was exactly what was needed.

“ ... Gary and Jordan did some slick cowboy moves in order for Gary to tranquilize her to slow her down.

Had her slowed down enough and Jordan jumped out and snatched her.

It wasn’t fun, it wasn’t pretty, but she is safe and home and unhurt.”

Sophie had been missing since March 9 when she was last spotted on South Archie Avenue in Granville, which is more than 30 miles northwest of Streator.

Ragusa said Wednesday “after tail wags and happy kisses with her fourlegged siblings, Sophie is plumb tuckered out and safely at home napping.

I bet she sleeps for days!”

Sophie had spotted in the Streator area for the past few days. A drone was launched in an attempt to spot her, but it did not catch sight of her.

Sophie’s story is reminiscent of the story of Brooks, the Siberian husky and retired Iditarod sled racer from Wyanet that was found five days later in Streator — a roughly Photo provided 54-mile trek.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor: For more than 50 years, Earth Day has provided an opportunity for us to celebrate our beautiful planet. This Earth Day, April 22, and throughout the month of April the Illinois Beverage Association (IBA) is reinforcing our industry’s longstanding commitment to protecting our environment through sustainable solutions, reducing our plastic footprint and helping create a more circular economy for recyclables.

The beverage industry has made significant investments that have greatly improved the collection of our 100% recyclable plastic bottles. Our Every Bottle Back initiative is shepherding nearly a half-billion dollars to increase the amount of plastic that is collected and remade into new bottles, and The Coca-Cola Company, Keurig Dr Pepper and PepsiCo – in collaboration with environmental leaders World Wildlife Fund, Closed Loop Partners and The Recycling Partnership – are funding modernizations of recycling infrastructure in local communities.

The IBA is committed to getting our bottles back so they don’t wind up where they don’t belong, like rivers, streams, parks and landfills

River Valley Players to offer youth 9 Shakespeare musical productions

Volunteers at the heart of Illinois 4-H URBANA — Volunteers play a vital role in supporting 4-H youth clubs and programming. University of Illinois Extension’s 4-H youth development program honors its 6,000 volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 18-24.

“Our volunteers guide our 4-H members in every way,” said Patricia McGlaughlin, University of Illinois Extension 4-H volunteer youth development specialist. “Youth are making a difference in local, state, national and global issues and none of that would be possible without our volunteers.”

National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize the continued impact that volunteers have.

“Volunteers are the lifeblood of our clubs,” said McGlaughlin. “On average, 4-H volunteers give more than

eight hours per month to their program. Annually, that time is w o r t h a l m o s t $3,000 per volunteer.

But the gift of their time, skills and passion is really invaluable to the youth they support.”

4-H clubs and programs benefit from volunteers, but volunteers also benefit from the volunteering experience; gaining skills in teaching, leadership and communication that are useful in their work and lives.

“Most of our volunteers report that

they gained useful skills, increased their confidence and made connections in the community,” said McGlaughlin.

“Volunteering is a two-way street in 4-H. Volunteers give to the clubs, but the clubs really give right back.”

There’s no one path to volunteering with 4-H. Ways to volunteer could include leading or beginning a local or special interest club, teaching a skill through workshops, judging projects at fairs and competition, planning or helping at events or serving on club advisory boards.

“There is no one size fits all for our volunteers. There are so many ways that they can make a difference in the lives of young people through 4-H,” said McGlaughlin. “We try to match a volunteer’s unique interests, availability and schedule with a role that will be

the most rewarding to them.”

Marshall-Putnam 4-H would like to thank all the volunteers in our counties that have given of themselves to support our 4-H program; from club leaders, to SPIN club leaders, to Shooting Sports instructors, to show superintendents, to judges, to parent and grandparent volunteers, to Expansion and Review committee members, to Unit Council members, to our 4-H & Extension Foundation and to all who support 4-H through donations and supporting our youth.

4-H clubs are always looking for new volunteers to share a passion, skill, talent or time to help impact today’s youth. For more information on 4-H and becoming a 4-H volunteer, contact Anne Scheel at Marshall-Putnam Extension office by calling 309-364-2356.

shall-Putnam Master Gardeners have an opportunity for you.

On Monday, April 26, beginning at 3 p.m., they will need help cleaning up the

flower beds at the Marshall County Courthouse in Lacon. They plan to work until 6 p.m. Come for one or two hours or stay for all three hours. Bring your own gloves and

gardening tools to help beautify the courthouse gardens. For more information, contact the Marshall-Putnam Extension office at 309-364-2356.

Preserving flowers Cementing your Flowers can have sentimental value, particularly those received as gifts or those that were part of momentous occasions, like weddings. Fresh flowers have finite life spans unless measures are taken to preserve the blooms. The flower experts at ProFlowers say pressing flowers can preserve them for years to come. While flower lovers can invest in a flower press, other heavy objects also can be effective at pressing flowers. Start by choosing flowers that are either still in bud form or are freshly bloomed. Dry the flowers out as quickly as possible to prevent browning. Place the flower between two pieces of white, nontextured paper. Then place all within the pages of a book. Depending on the size of the book, you may be able to press more than one flower at a time. Place other books on top to weigh down the book with the flowers inside.

Change the moisture blotting sheets every few days. After two to three weeks, the flowers will be completely dry and flat. Remove the flowers carefully using tweezers or fingertips. Store the fresh flowers in a cool, dry place or consider framing them in a shadow box. TF212687

SAVE THE DATE Consider food allergies when planning wedding menu Wedding guests will remember many aspects of the ceremony and reception.

For guests who have food allergies or require specialized diets, dinner can be memorable for all of the wrong reasons. But it doesn’t have to be.

Even though weddings are all about the happy couple’s wants and needs, special attention should be placed on ensuring guests’ comfort. Individuals with allergies and dietary restrictions warrant extra caution. Any food can cause an allergic reaction, but eight types in particular, often referred to as the “Big 8,” are responsible for the greatest numbers of adverse reactions.

Milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy comprise the Big 8. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Food Allergy Research and Resource Program says the Big 8 accounts for about 90 percent of all food allergies in the United States.

Couples need to recognize the likelihood that at least one person at the wedding will have a specialized food need. Most people with dietary restrictions will be very understanding that eating out is a challenge, especially at a wedding. But couples can take steps to ensure that guests with food aller-

gies don’t go hungry.  Ask about allergies on the response card. Some couples request that guests choose their food preferences on their RSVPs. Include a spot where guests can mention serious food allergies.  Choose a caterer very carefully.

Caterers are increasingly adapting to common food restrictions. Express specific food avoidances or what you want to be included and find a caterer who specializes in this type of cooking.  Offer allergen-free appetizers.

Martha Stewart Weddings suggests serving customized bite-sized hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour to allow for easier customization. This gives guests with allergies the ability to pick and choose their pre-entrée bites.  Label foods and let guests with severe allergies dine first. Buffets should be clearly labeled so those with allergies can avoid certain foods.

Also, those with severe food allergies should have first shot at the buffet to limit cross-contamination from serv- have advanced notice. desserts and gluten-free beer as well. ing utensils.  Don’t forget desserts and drinks.

How to host a socially distant wedding

It’s likely that few people heard of “social distancing” prior to 2020. That changed as the novel coronavirus COVID-19 spread rapidly across the globe and the world found itself in the midst of a deadly pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines social distancing as keeping a safe distance of at least six feet between yourself and other people who are not from your household. Public health officials continue to champion social distancing while acknowledging the fatigue that many people have experienced as the pandemic stretched on for months.

Though much of the world hit the proverbial pause button, life went on during the pandemic. Perhaps nowhere was that more evident than at the altar, where many couples still tied the knot, albeit in scaled back ceremonies that adhered to social distancing guidelines in their communities.

Engaged couples who have yet to tie the knot no doubt recognize that planning a socially distant wedding will not be the same as organizing more traditional ceremonies and receptions.

While planning a socially distant wedding presents some unique challenges, couples can take certain steps to ensure their big day is memorable and safe.  Spread the socially distant word.

Let guests know what they’re in for should they decide to take part in the festivities. Many people have strictly followed social distancing guidelines, while others have been reluctant to do so. Couples intent on keeping

themselves and their guests safe from COVID-19 should emphasize that their weddings will be socially distant affairs so there’s no confusion come the big day.  Stream the wedding online. Stream the wedding online for those guests who won’t be in attendance. By the end of 2020, millions of people had already “attended” weddings via platforms like Zoom, so loved ones may be experienced virtual guests by the time couples walk down the aisle in 2021. Couples who may need some help planning virtual affairs can visit the virtual wedding coordinators at Wedfuly.com, who recently partnered with Zoom to help couples bring their ceremonies online.  Pare down the in-person guest list.

Couples who planned large weddings prior to the pandemic can still invite all of their loved ones to witness the festivities online, but pare down the in-person guest list to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. Limit in-person guests to immediate family and those people who are part of your social distancing bubble.  Plan a party for down the road.

Couples can still celebrate their nuptials with family and friends down the road. Plan a post-pandemic reception and let guests know you will fill them in on the details once social distancing restrictions have been lifted.

Socially distant weddings may require couples to take some unusual steps as they try to tie the knot while keeping themselves and their loved ones safe. BR211578

PUTNAM COUNTY BASEBALL PREVIEW

Panthers ‘love to compete’

Like many teams this spring, the Putnam County baseball team doesn’t have many players back with varsity experience after the 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19.

However, coach Chris Newsome said the Panthers have an excellent mentality.

“One positive is we have a good nucleus of guys who genuinely love to play the game of baseball, love to compete and hate to lose,” Newsome said.

Newsome, who is 99-52-1 in five seasons at PC, is excited to see the Panthers back on the field.

“I still feel for our group of guys that lost their season last spring, and

I’m pumped to see that a couple of them are having success at the next level,” Newsome said. “Such a long break was rough. Having a season this year provides the kids a sense of normalcy in an abnormal year. Just hearing the gloves pop, the chatter, and the bats pinging has been uplifting.

“I’m looking forward to seeing these guys compete this year.”

Senior Kyle Gorisek is the lone player who has varsity experience after getting some time as a sophomore.

Junior Chris Uzella will pitch and play catcher, while a trio of sopho-

mores also will play key roles. Andrew Pyszka will see time at shortstop, catcher and pitcher, Austin Mattingly will play center field and pitch, and Jackson McDonald will see action at first base and pitcher.

Newsome said the Panthers have many options at pitcher.

“I expect to see contributions from a lot of guys,” Newsome said. “Troy Petty, Drake Smith and Kyle Gorisek would likely be the top three if I had to go play tomorrow. Others who will see some time on the bump are Sam Currie, Matt Liebhart, Pyszka, Uzella, McDonald and Mattingly.”

Newsome expects Putnam County

to be versatile on offense.

“Offensively, we have a good mix of contact, power and speed with this group,” Newsome said. “I would anticipate our top hitters to be Pyszka, Mattingly, McDonald, Will Griffith, Uzella, Sam Currie and Liebhart.”

Putnam County has had a winning season every year under Newsome, including 18-10 in 2019.

The Panthers went 22-9-1 and claimed a Class 1A regional championship in 2018.

“Being competitive day in and day out and staying healthy throughout the year are a couple of goals,” Newsome said.

BASEBALL: HALL 5, PUTNAM COUNTY 0

Payton Plym, Hall beat Putnam County in opener KEVIN CHLUM

kchlum@shawmedia.com SPRING VALLEY — For the first time in about 23 months, Payton Plym and his teammates put on a Hall baseball uniform for a game April 14.

“It felt good,” Plym said. “It was forever. It was about 23 months, so it feels really good to get out and play again.”

The Red Devils didn’t show any rust.

Plym blasted a pair of home runs and combined with teammates Alec Bulak and Trez Rybarczyk to throw a no-hitter as Hall opened the season with a 5-0 victory over Putnam County at Foley Field.

“Overall, for the first game, we played well defensively, our pitchers threw strikes and we got the job done,” Plym said. “It’s definitely a good start. We can definitely build off it. Obviously, we have some things to work on as a team, but we got the job done. It was a good way to start.”

After Bulak pitched around a walk in the top of the first, Rybarczyk quickly got the Hall offense started by ripping the first pitch he saw into left field.

Plym followed by crushing his first home run down the right field line for a 2-0 lead.

In the second inning, Plym hit a two-out double to drive in Drake Garland, who started the frame with a single.

“With Payton getting us on the

board the first inning then coming through with a two-out RBI to follow it up, it was nice to give us a three-run cushion,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. “Our three arms we had took care of business from there.”

Bulak pitched the first 2 2/3 innings, striking out six batters with two walks and one hit batter.

Plym came on with two outs in the third inning and struck out his first batter looking. He went 3 1/3 innings, striking out nine batters, including the side on nine pitches in the fifth, with one walk.

Rybarczyk closed out the game with three strikeouts and a walk in the seventh.

“I thought I did pretty well,” Plym said. “I was just trying to get ahead in the count, throw strikes and get outs. “[I was throwing] mostly just fastballs. I was working on the outside part of the plate, getting ahead, then when I got them down in the count, spin a slider.”

The Red Devils added insurance runs in the fourth and sixth innings.

In the fourth, Ricky Coble led off with a single then moved to third on a throwing error on Ethan Plym’s bunt single before scoring on a wild pitch.

In the sixth, Plym led off with a towering home run to right field.

“It feels pretty good,” Plym said. “I was just trying to get pitches I could drive this early in the season and trying to get the barrel on the ball.”

The Panthers struck out 18 times.

Putnam County had six base runners

Putnam County’s Austin Mattingly fields a ground ball in center field during the Panthers’ 5-0 loss to Hall on April 14.

– four on walks, one on a hit batter and one on a dropped third strike – and stole a pair of bases.

“It was nice to get the experience,” PC coach Chris Newsome said. “With a young team, for some of these guys it was their first varsity at-bats against a pretty solid pitching staff. I told [our guys] they’re not going to see that everywhere we go. Hall is going to win a lot of games with those

three arms. They’re well coached and do the right things. I told [our guys] it’s one game out of many, so as long as everybody stays healthy and we do everything COVID protocol wise, we’re going to get better by the end of the year. That’s the goal.”

Kyle Gorisek took the loss for the Panthers, allowing three runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks in 1 2/3 innings.
