A $10 minimum wage Minimum wage question to go to Illinois voters By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
The Illinois House of Representatives wrote it. The Illinois Senate approved it. Gov. Pat Quinn said he’ll sign it. Next, it’ll be your turn. The Illinois General Assembly has passed House Bill 3814 which would increase the mini-
mum wage from $8.25 to $10 an hour. The vote will put a non-binding question on the November ballot this year. State Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-Maywood) sponsored the legislation after state Democrats failed to put together the votes needed to increase the state’s minimum wage from $8.25 to $10.65 an hour in the Senate.
Quinn was pleased with the vote. He said he believes raising the minimum wage will benefit workers all over the state and will eventually boost economic growth. “The referendum will help the legislature get the job done as it works to build a majority to raise the minimum wage,” Quinn said. House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) also believes Illinois residents deserve a living wage. He said Illinois voters can
show their representatives their support by approving the measure in the fall election. “I happen to think we ought to raise the minimum wage,” Madigan said. “I do think it merits a full public discussion by all Illinoisans. We can show people in the legislature that despite the differences, we ought to move ahead with raising the Illinois minimum wage.” While some believe the minimum wage will
improve the economy, small business owners and management aren’t in the same boat. “We don’t know yet how we’re going to handle this,” PC Foods assistant manager Edith Passini said. “We’re not sure how this will effect staffing. It really depends on sales, and if the local shoppers support their local businesses. This would have a big impact on us.” The minimum wage in Illinois is higher than in adjoining states and one of
the highest in the country. Various lawmakers who represent districts around Illinois’ borders have been unenthusiastic about further raising the Illinois minimum wage. State Republicans said this movement is an election year token gesture. Currently there are going to be a total of possibly four constitutional amendments on the fall 2014 ballot, and Republican legislators are citing potential confusion about adding an advisory referendum to the ballot.
A deep subject for McNabb Village to apply for CDAP grant By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
MCNABB — After a public hearing, the McNabb Village Board voted to apply for a Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) grant during a special meeting on May 28. The grant is intended to erect a second well in the village. Currently, there is only one source of water for the village which is considered by the state to be a public health hazard. The grant is in the amount of $185,978 and will be used by the village for the construction and development of a sand and gravel well including installation of a submersible well pump and the equipment to carry the water to the water filtration system. The proposed well site is near the ball diamond. The cost to apply for the grant is $1,500, which is an administrative fee to the North Central Illinois Council of Governments which will act as an administrator in the project. While the project is a necessity, some concern was voiced by several members of the board. “If we drill this well and we don’t hit water — which happens around McNabb — McNabb is a tough place to get water. What’s the process then? Are we just out $180,000,” village President Mike Vaskie said. “Can we just move 20 feet and try again? I know a gentleman Vol. 146 No. 40 One Section - 16 Pages

south of town that dug four wells and got nothing but dust.” NCICG representative Kendall Cramer told the board that would be an issue to take up with village engineer Jack Kusek, but said Kusek had assured Cramer he was certain the proposed location would yield water. “I’m pretty confident Jack has done his job,” Cramer said. The current well is 400 feet deep Vaskie told the board, but said the proposed well was expected to be only 280 feet deep. In order to apply for the grant, the village passed three resolutions. The first set up the partnership between the village and NCICG for the administration of the grant. The second outlined the village’s intent to apply for the grant, while the third established any home displaced by the well project would be replaced by the village. The third resolution is required for the grant although it is unlikely to be a problem in this grant, since there are no homes in the area.

Fisher is new Sauk Valley publisher Sam Fisher takes reins of Telegraph, Daily Gazette By Shaw Media Service news@bcrnews.com
Sam Fisher, who has been with Shaw Media for 31 years, was recently named as publisher of Sauk Valley Media. Fisher, who is currently publisher of the Bureau County Republican in Princeton, succeeds Trevis Mayfield, who resigned last month after nine years with the company. In announcing the new publisher, company President John Rung said Fisher would assume oversight of publications of the
Telegraph (Dixon), Daily Gazette (Sterling/Rock Falls), Ogle County Newspapers (Oregon) and Prairie Advocate (Carroll County), in addition to the Bureau County Republican, Putnam County Record and Tonica News. He will be based in Sterling. “I’m excited about this opportunity, as we will be able to blend the strengths of both organizations together,” Fisher said. “As I will be spending the majority of my time in Sterling and Dixon, I will be looking to hire a general manager to oversee the daily functions of the Princeton location.
I still plan on being active in the community in both markets.” Fisher, a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, joined Shaw Media in 1983 and held various management positions at the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake and at the Kane County Chronicle. He also had been a corporate sales trainer before he was promoted to publisher at Princeton in 1993. He is an executive committee member of the Illinois Press Association and has been active in Princeton with Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Princeton Main Street, Bureau County United Way, Princeton Youth Soccer, and Princ-
Sam Fisher eton Public Library, among other organizations. Fisher and Lori Frick reside in Princeton. Fisher has a 13-year-old daughter, Meg of Princeton; a daughter, Brooke (Tim) Miller of Kewanee; and a son, Ben of Princeton.

PC Historical Society hosts annual dinner program By Darrell Alleman
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — The 51st Putnam County Historical Society annual meeting was held at the Hennepin United Methodist Church. President Sidney Whitaker presided, and the Hennepin United Methodist Church served the meal. Kenneth Farnsworth from the Illinois State Archaeological Survey and State Museum Research and Collection Center in Springfield gave an informative program on the Indians of Putnam County as far back as 10,000 years ago. The Kickapoo and Powaee Indian tribes who moved down river out of Putnam County as the pioneers moved into the county were discussed. Farnsworth said in 1953 when he was 21 years old, Stuart Struever established a small private research foundation as a way to receive grants and donations for archaeological fieldwork in Illinois. From 1955 to 1958, he focused his excavations at two Putnam County prehistoric habitation sites in the big bend area of the Illinois River Valley. Both sites are multi-component woodland period settlements. From 1955 to 1957, he assembled field schools each summer to dig at the Adolph Kuhne site on the eastern Marin of the Illinois Valley between Swan Lake and Clear Creek about six miles east of Henry. In June to September of 1958, Struever and a small crew including several volunteers, dug a series of test squares at the Heineken site,

The Heineken site name was a favorite beer brand served at a popular local tavern. In 1963, local collector Frank Conpasso, carried out a salvage excavation in Mound No. 3 when the north half of the mound was bulldozed, exposing at least four burials. The mound and five others are located a top the bluffs at the juncture of Allforks Creek and the Illinois Valley northeast of the Heineken site.
The University of Chicago sent an all female excavation crew to Putnam County to excavate one of the mounds in the Wheeler site south of the Heineken site. In 1932, newspaper clippings in the Wheeler family scrapbook tells of 25 mounds in the group and five of which had been opened by landowner George Wheeler. Beth Kuhne Clinton spoke about the history of her family farm. She said her great-grandfather, Siebold Kuhne, came to Putnam County from Bever, Ohio, in 1868, settling on the land that is known today as the Kuhne site. Her grandfather Adolph Kuhne

2012 census of agriculture released Data shows more young people choosing farming as a full-time job By Goldie Currie Shaw Media Service
GRANVILLE — The 2012 Census of Agriculture is revealing new trends in farming. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the final Census data and reported record sales moderated by rising expenses; agriculture becoming increasingly diverse; and farming and marketing practices changing. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack released a statement with the data, saying it illustrates the
power of USDA efforts to grow the economy and strengthen infrastructure in rural America. “The Census shows the potential for continued growth in the bioeconomy, organics and local and regional food systems. USDA will continue to focus on innovative, creative policies that give farmers, ranchers and entrepreneurs the tools they need to attract a bright and diverse body of talent to rural America.” An interesting highlight from the Census data shows that 22 percent of all farmers were beginning farmers in 2012, which means one out of every five farmers operated a farm for less than 10 years. Young, beginning principal operators who reported their primary occupation as farming
increased from 36,396 to 40,499 between 2007 and 2012. That’s an 11.3 percent increase in the number of young people selecting agriculture as a fulltime job. Kevin Knapp is one such individual. Knapp farms outside of Magnolia after spending time as an engineer with Case-International Harvester. “I always knew I was going to be a farmer. It was always in the back of my mind,” Knapp said. “I grew up and I was taught you aren’t just given things. You gotta work for it. I went to college and got an engineering degree at the University of Illinois. “Gradually I worked through the company until I was back in the area. The time was just right, there were some changes here on the farm and I’m get-
ting married this summer,” Knapp said. “It seemed time to come home. This spring, I became a fulltime farmer.” Knapp is the third generation to farm locally. His grandfather moved here from Morton about 77 years ago after farming with his father. The senior Knapp is still alive at 101, and only stopped climbing into the tractor five years ago. While family tradition is one reason young people turn to farming, it’s not the only one. Profitability in farming has been higher lately than in the past. Increased demand driven by more overseas exports and ethanol production have driven prices for crops up substantially. Putnam County Record staff writer Ken Schroeder contributed to this story.

June is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. This designation is held in conjunction with the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN). It is recommended adults should try to get 30 minutes of physical activity each day. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS), regular physical activity increases the chances of living a longer and healthier life. Regular exercise reduces risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and even some types of cancer. In Illinois, however, most adults do not get the recommended amount of physical activity each day. Benefits of physical activity increases your chances of living longer according to the USDHHS. Doctors have noted in published findings increased physical activity can help people who have weight trouble. Regular exercise can lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. Regular exercise can also help prevent Type 2 diabetes. The American College of Psychiatrists have published findings as well noting regular exercise can be fun, improve your sleep, make bones, muscles and joints stronger and lower chances and effects of depression. Exercise can reduce falls and arthritis pain as well. The physical activity guidelines for Americans recommend adults aim for at least two hours and 30
minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week and do muscle strengthening activities at least two days a week. Most experts see moderate activity to include things like walking fast, dancing, swimming or raking leaves. Muscle strengthening activities can include lifting weights and using exercise bands. Children also benefit as well from exercise and healthy living. If kids see parents exercising and eating well, they pick up positive life long habits that can help impact their health and wellness in life. No matter what shape a person is in, there are exercises which can be performed that can improve their health if performed on a regular basis. “Start slowly, especially if you haven’t been active for a long time,” Michael Ward, chief physical trainer at Anytime Fitness in Peru, said. “Little by little build up your activities and how hard you work at them. Don’t hold your breath during strength exercises. That can cause changes in blood pressure.” Nutrition plays an important part in healthy living and physical fitness. According to the PCFSN, eating right is a day to day practice. The website encourages those who want to improve their physical health to set small goals at first: eat healthy by cutting out snacks for a week as an example. Then the following week, add a second goal. At six different healthy eating goals, a person achieves a routine for a healthier lifestyle. The more a person incorporates them into their lifestyle, the better over time they will feel.

So you want to be elected (blank)? The nice thing — for most of us — during off-year elections is the gap between the primaries and the election where you hardly hear a peep from either party. Two years from now, we’ll be going through another mudfest/ slugfest where people spend COMMENTARY more money to get into an office than they’ll ever (legally) make from being there. I’m convinced that people running for office above a county level — and sometimes even then — do not talk to their constituents much. More importantly, they don’t listen. The people who advise them tell them what they want to hear and off they go to another same ol’, same ol’. If you feel the same, and if any of the following fits your line of thinking, please feel free to send it to the politician(s) of your choice. Call me for more copies. I can be bought — which makes me a lot like most politicians. Advice for candidates running for office: • Incumbents - Don’t campaign. I mean it. A few speeches here and there are OK, but don’t take time off from the job you were elected to do — especially since we’re paying you to do it all the time, not just between elections — to tell us how good you are. If you’re doing a good job, we’ll know. If you are doing a rotten job, you’ll know. • Incumbents - If you must campaign, then remind us what you’ve done while in office. Don’t use the “we captured so-and-so” card. Unless you were there with a rifle and a helmet, you are not “we.” If there’s some great legislation you passed that we might have forgotten about, that’s what you talk about. Which leads me to ... • Everybody - Tell me what you’re going to do; don’t warn me about what the other guy’s going to do. Stop making me feel like I’m voting for the lesser of two evils, even if that is generally the truth. Don’t tell how many votes in office he’s missed. Tell me what you’ve done, what you believe in and what you are going to fight for in office. (Just once, I’d love to see a politician say “Look, my opponent’s ideas on this are so much better than mine, so if it’s really important to you, then you better vote for her.” I would beat down the door to vote for that guy.) • Stop sending me the colorful high-gloss flyers asking me to vote for you. The average American tosses that thing into the garbage can without scanning it, and we all know that. The fact you continue to make them — spending money for printing and mailing them — when nobody wants to see them tells me you don’t care about what I think, and you’re going to do a crappy job shepherding my money. • Don’t guarantee me you’re going to do something. Unless you’re emperor or dictator, you are one voice who has to work with several other people to get anything done. You can’t end anything on your own, but you can tell me it’s what you want to do. If you win, here’s the best thing you can do: Compromise. You cannot win every vote, but you can win the ones that are important IF you are willing to work with others to get the job done. The guy across the aisle isn’t an opponent; he’s a co-worker. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can address the problems facing the country.

World War II Army mechanic, wheel vehicle, T-5 Corporal Tech Charles R. Doty of Princeton survived three D-Day Invasions: First was Sicily, then Italy and finally Utah Beach. He also survived when his landing ship tank (LST) training ship was torpedoed and sank off of Slaptan Sands in the English Channel by some German E-Boats that found the U.S. Navy and Army training for the D-Day invasion. Doty was drafted when he was 17, and inducted into the Army on Jan. 25 at 18. He reported to Scott’s Field in Illinois. His company was put in the 3497 Ordinance Co. His unit was part of the first engineers brigade. When Doty was drafted he scored high on the mechanical aptitude test, and they needed mechanics at Scott’s Field. He was loaded out of Scott’s Field on a troop train. The train stopped in Indiana Town Gap, Ind., for one week. They were not allowed off of the train. Finally he was assigned to operate a winch unloading boats. He would take his boon loaded with cargo off of the dock and put it over the hole in the deck of the ship. It was very cold, and he did not have earmuffs; he froze both ears and was sent to the hospital. He did not like the job and was not happy and tried to transfer. When he came back from the hospital, there was a note on his bed that he was transferred to the 3rd Army Division. Three days later, Doty and four other men shipped out from Patrick Henry, Va., to Africa on May 9, 1943, and were taken to camp Kasaila “as replacement fodder,” Doty said. The camp was out in the middle of the desert, the sand blew everywhere including into the food. People died from diarrhea. After this, he went overland to North Africa and loaded on a ship on July 4 for the D-Day invasion of Sicily, Italy. Doty’s company was the first Engineer Brigade Amphibious Crew ship anchor. They were special troops that went in with the first wave on each D-Day he was in. His job was to keep everything running and moving. If they did not run, they had to clear them off the beach. Doty said “We had to keep them working as long as possible.” After Sicily, they went to Locatta, General Patton’s rest camp. He was tough on the soldiers; they were required to wear their helmets and liners, carry their rifles at all times; sleeves had to be buttoned; it was 120 degrees in the shade; and there was no shade. Every morning they had a forced march of walking and run as long and far as they could go. Soldiers would drop out and fall on the side of the road. Doty said, “This was Patton’s idea of a rest camp, and I have no good thoughts about the General.” The second D-Day was on Sept. 10, 1943, and everyone thought the Italy D-Day would be a push over, but it was the worst Doty was in. Italy was worse because Italy had given up, but they told the Germans when and where the U.S. troops would attack. Doty loaded with other soldiers on a LST for Italy; it drew 9 feet of water in the front end and 19 feet of water in the back. The LST got stuck; the Captain told everyone to get in the back of the LST. He yelled jump up, and they all jumped; after three jumps, the LST never moved. A small Higgins landing craft came and picked them up and took them to the beach. When they landed, the equipment did not arrive for some time. When it did, there were no tools, so they had to use their hand tools that they carried. They replaced engines and worked on the tanks with their hand tools. There were seven German tank divisions waiting at Salerano’s Bay. There were mountains on each side of the bay, and the Germans were dug into the sides of

World War II Army veteran Charles Doty holds a model of the American tank that sits on Slapton Sands Beach in England. the mountains. The United States had no artillery; they had one company of M10 tank destroyers that carried eight men with three naval guns; the Germans had 88 MM guns. There were German troops everywhere; they had search lights on top of the mountains that spanned the sky. They blinded the U.S. bomber pilots, so that they did not know where to drop their bombs. On the mountains, the 90 MM German guns shot them down. The Air Force then never bombed, and the Navy couldn’t shoot because they lost all communications. Doty was driving a 10-ton truck, and while he was tying a tarp on the truck, a German plane flew over and strafed the truck. Doty rolled under the truck and shrapnel fell all over. The next morning the tarp had holes all over it when he removed it. On the seventh day, the communications started working, and that saved all the troops. After capturing Naples, Doty’s group took over the vehicles there. After that on Nov. 18, they loaded on a boat in Naples and headed for England. It took 28 days to reach Glasgow Scotland; they then went by train to South England. The unit was to train at the Slapton Sands with the 47th Division for the invasion of France, called Exercise Tiger on April 27, 1944, which was to be a rehearsal for the D-Day landings. It was a disaster; a series of blunders allowed German E-boats to intercept the landing crafts. There were 946 young Americans who lost their lives that day. Doty remembers being in the English Channel at 5 a.m. that morning on an LST, and the destroyers that were to escort them got lost. Doty said, “I was on one of the LSTs that got hit, I had to do something. There was no time; I just got off of the LST into the English Channel, and I swam as fast and as far as I could. I got picked up by one of our boats. They took us to land; there they put up a tent and a fence around it. They told us to get in the tent, and they put guards around the fence. They lectured us for four hours not to ever talk about what happened. If we did we would be court marshalled, and our fate would be decided. I believe I was more prepared because I had already been in two D-Days, Sicily and Italy.” Then on June 6, 1944, 70 years ago, Doty was in the D-Day invasion that was a spring board to the liberation of Europe from the Nazi occupation, the invasion was history’s largest amphibious military operation, putting more than 150,000 allied troops against a fortified German Army. An estimated 9,000 allied soldiers were killed or wounded on D-Day. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower talked to the troops the morning of the invasion. He said, “The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.”
Doty made it on Utah Beach where he unloaded supplies, including food, fuel and everything else. One job he had was going inland each morning with his large auto truck that looked like a cattle truck and picking up German soldier prisoners from the P.O.W. stockade and hauling them down to the beach to work and then taking them back in the evening. One of the German prisoners built a monument on the Utah Beach that said, ‘In proud memory of our dead engineers in the special brigade.” Doty said he was on five different LSTs during the war. He was separated from service on Nov. 20, 1945, at Center Camp, Grant, Ill. He received five overseas service bars European-Medal, the Eastern Victory Medal Bronze Arrowhead Croix DeGurne. When he got home, he and another mechanic that Doty had worked with at Diller’s Implement in Princeton opened a repair shop in 1946 in Malden. After two years he bought his partners out. In 1952 he signed a contract with the Minneapolis Tractor Co. that took over the dealership for New Idea in 1959. There was nowhere to expand in Malden, so in 1965, he moved his implement store to Dover. Charles visited Slapan Sands in England in November of 1988; he was standing by an American Sherman Tank that was lost at seas during the Exercise Tiger rehearsal for the invasion of Utah. The tank had been brought up from the floor of the English Channel and placed on the beach. It stands on the beach now as a memorial to those American lives lost during the practice landings. Author Ken Small was also standing by the tank. They struck up a conversation and Doty told Small he had been on a LST in the Channel on April 27, 1944. Small said he had written a book called “The Forgotten Dead,” about what had happened and the government cover-up of what happened. Small owned a hotel on Slapton Sands, and enjoyed beach combing near his hotel. He began finding expended bullets, U.S. dollars and personal belongings of U.S. servicemen. Gradually he pieced together the tragic events of that night. He decided to erect a monument to honor the servicemen and write the true story of what had happened. Doty was invited to a dinner in Chicago in the loop for D-Day World War II soldiers; there he met and visited with a man from the French Consulate. Later he received a letter from the Consulate General DE-France; in the letter was the French Legion of Honor Medal. The medal was for his dedication to help France regain its freedom. Doty said, “I had it better than most people during the three invasions.” I first met Doty when I volunteered to be a guardian on the World War II Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. I was fortunate to be his guardian. I am proud to call this great, humble gentleman a friend. As a young man, Doty risked his life so that we all can live in freedom. I thank him for his service. He is truly from the “Greatest Generation.” Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

The Lady Panthers lost 1-0 PCR Record photo/Ken Schroeder
DEKALB — The Lady Panthers outhit the Clippers. The Clippers were outpitched. The difference came down to two nearly identical hits into almost the same exact spot in centerfield. For the Panthers, it ended in a play at the plate with Nikki Mertel tagged out. For the Clippers, it ended in the only run in the game as the Amboy Clippers downed Putnam County 1-0 June 2 in the supersectional at Northern Illinois University’s Mary Bell Field. It’s the second time in two years the Lady Panthers have made it to the Elite Eight only to be sent home from Mary Bell empty-handed. The game went scoreless for the first four and a half innings, with Panther pitcher Shelby Yepsen sending the first eight batters she faced back to the dugout. Amboy rightfielder Delaney Wilhelm took a base on balls and ended Yepsen’s threeup, three-down streak in the third inning after two outs. Yepsen was able to get back into stride and ended the threat. However, with two out in the fifth, Yepsen again put a runner on base after walking leftfielder Hannah McCoy. That brought Wilhelm back up, who belted a triple out to the warning track in deep centerfield. McCoy was able to score when the throw from centerfielder Stephanie Wilson was cut off by first baseman Vanessa Voss on its way to catcher Carly Gonet at home. The next batter would pop out to Voss, but the damage was done. The Panthers’ chance to even the game came in the top of the sixth with two out and PC’s Nikki Mertel on second base. Amy Miller hit deep into centerfield where Amboy centerfielder Micaela McCoy grabbed the ball on a one-hop throw from deep center to catcher Kaitlynn Liebing for a close but successful play at the plate. The seventh inning saw Gonet and rightfielder Allison Voss get on base, but the Panthers were unable to capitalize and bring the girls home. Karlee Doege picked up the win for the Clippers, pitching seven innings with four strikeouts, five hits and a walk. Yepsen pitched an excellent game during six innings with six strikeouts, allowing only four hits but walking two. The Panthers close the year at 28-8.

Lady Panthers are sectional champs By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Two in a row is twice as nice for the Putnam County Lady Panthers as they beat the Serena Lady Huskers in an extra innings contest on May 31. In a pitchers’ duel, the Panthers’ senior starter Shelby Yepsen faced off against the Huskers’ Jacklyn Thompson. While hits and walks were limited in the first seven innings of the game, strikeouts were not. Thompson struck out 12 Panthers batters and Yepsen struck out 10 Husker batters. Yepsen threw a one hitter along with allowing only three balls out of the infield during the game with one walk and one hit batter. Thompson scattered six hits over the eight innings with the same one walk and one hit batsperson. The Lady Panthers and Huskers each had some defensive problems with the Panthers making an error in the fifth and sixth inning while the Huskers made an error in the seventh and eighth innings. While the Lady Panthers (as the guests for the game) had runners on during the second, third, fourth and seventh innings, the eighth was the key in the contest. Junior Allison Voss, who had previously hit a single in the game, hit a hard grounder to third base and the throw was missed by the Huskers first baseman. Junior Ciera Keller advanced Voss to second with a sacrifice bunt. Then senior Stephanie Wilson hit a surprise bunt single which advanced Voss to third and bought senior Nikki Mertel to the plate. During PCR photo/Dixie Schroeder Mertel’s at bat, Wilson attempted to steal second, fell, but The Putnam County Lady Panthers celebrate their win over the Serena Lady Huskers after the last out in the bottom got up and completed the steal which threw the Huskers of the eighth inning on May 31.

Chris Walker was happy with his team’s tenacity. “The key was not giving up,” he said. “It is really what everything boils down to. Annie Miller had a couple hits, we had a couple of good bunts, but we didn’t take advantage of some opportunities we had and that was because of Jacklyn Thompson. She was throwing bullets. We made our adjustment in the box, and we had a couple of key hits. Obviously Nikki’s (Mertel) hit and Stephanie’s (Wilson) surprise bunt there and Monica’s surprise bunt worked. They had tried to take that away all game. All the credit goes to our girls.” The Lady Panthers, who are now 28-7 as they head PCR photo/Dixie Schroeder into the IHSA Class 1A Carly Gonet comes across the plate on a Nikki Mertel Super sectional competi- triple in the top of the eighth inning on May 31. tion.

Thompson off her game. Thompson threw a passed ball by the catcher, which allowed Voss to score from third base with the first run of the game. Wilson then took third on the play. Mertel then slammed a triple down the right field line which scored Wilson, making the score 2-0 in the Lady Panther’s favor. Yepsen then took the Huskers out of the game in the bottom of the eighth with a fly out, strikeout and then a popup in foul territory, caught by senior Carly Gonet to seal the win and punch the Panthers’ ticket to the supersectionals on June 2. “I didn’t care how we scored, I just wanted to win,” Yepsen said. “We got that error (in the eighth inning) and we knew we had to score somehow. We didn’t care how.” Gonet was also pleased with the win. “I was hoping I would catch it (the last out of the game). It felt good,” she said. “It was a really tough game, probably the toughest one all year. We stuck with it, they stuck with it, and it just ended in our favor.” Lady Panther head coach

Lady Panthers win sectional semifinal By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Lady Panthers have taken one giant step toward their eventual goal with a semifinal win in the IHSA Sectional contest on May 28. The Lady Panthers beat the Princeville Lady Princes by a score of 4-2. Pitcher Shelby Yepsen held the opposition to just seven hits in her complete game effort, with two strikeouts and two walks in the contest. The Lady Princes also helped the home team by some shoddy defense, committing two errors which allowed an unearned run. The Lady Princes scored in the first inning when Yepsen gave up a walk and was sacrificed to third base and driven in on a single. The Lady Panthers came back in the top of the second when Annie Miller single to left field. Miller scored on a triple by Monica Monroe, who then scored on a squeeze bunt by Vanessa Voss to regain a Panther lead, 2-1 The contest was 2-1 until the bottom of the fifth when Yepsen gave up her second walk of the game. The runner was sacrificed to second and stole third base. In a bloop single just over Taylor Pettit’s head at second base, the Princeville runner scored to tie the game at 2-2. After one out in the sixth inning, Ciera Keller singled and Jackie Ossola pinch ran for her. Allison Voss hit a hard grounder which was bobbled and she was safe at first. Stephanie Wilson dropped a bunt down and was safe to load the bases. Pettit then hit a bullet to short, which was bobbled for the second error of the inning and Ossola scored from third base. PC then put an insurance run together in the top of the seventh inning when Carly Gonet singled to left. Voss then slammed a triple to left field, which scored Gonet and gave the final score of 4-2 in the game. Miller was three for four in the contest, scoring a run. Monica Monroe hit two for three with a triple, walk and RBI. Wilson was two for four with a stolen base. Voss had one hit, a triple, with two RBIs.
Panthers end season in sectional By D ixie S chroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord. com
HENNEPIN – It was a heartbreaking loss that played out on Massino Field on May 29 between the Putnam County Panthers and the Illinois Lutheran Chargers with a final score of 2-1 in the Illinois High School Association Class 1A Sectional semifinal game. The Panthers had strong defense and great pitching for senior starter Harold Fay, but offensively, the Charger pitchers, including Jaren Buzan stymied the Panther bats. Curveballs blew in for strikes and PC batters were kept off balance in the batter’s box. The big hit continued to elude the Panthers as they left eight runners on base in the game, even in the first inning with the bases loaded. The game started off with promise in the first, as the Panthers, playing the role of the away team had the first three batters reach base with only one out. A Charger fielding error on the infield gave PC a run across the plate to allow an early 1-0 lead. The missed chances then started for the Panthers as they were unable to

take advantage and earn anymore runs in the inning. Fay held Illinois Lutheran close until the bottom of the fourth inning. A lead off double and a walk with one out put runners at first and second. Buzan then helped his own cause with an RBI single that tied the game at one each. Illinois Lutheran then laid a sacrifice bunt down the third base line. Fay fielded the ball and made a wide throw to third baseman Matt Magana which
allowed the Chargers to take the 2-1 lead and the ballgame with it. In the first inning, the Panthers received a leadoff walk, and Buzan was pulled for Charger reliever Sam Geraci who loaded the bases. However the Panthers again were unable to capitalize and another chance was missed in the contest. In the top of the seventh, designated hitter Dan Pavlovich reached first base on a Charger error (the second of the game) and then first
baseman Jeff Baker laid down a single. PC then had a failed bunt attempt that turned into a popout. With two subsequent fly outs to the outfield, the Panthers’ season was complete. The Panthers completed the game with only four hits. Fay allowed just two runs, one earned on a five hit game. The Panthers complete the season with a 20-121 record. The team will return seven of their nine starting players for the 2015 spring campaign.
