Bridge construction on Interstate 180 to continue into fall KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com HENNEPIN — Phase two of a $25 million three-year bridge construction project on Interstate 180 over the Illinois River is underway.

The bridge links Bureau County to Route 71 and to the industrial lands north of Hennepin.

Illinois Department of Transportation has been making repairs on the bridge which receives a large amount of truck traffic to and from the Marquis Energy ethanol plant north of Hennepin.

Helm Group, formerly Civil Constructors of Freeport, will spend the summer into the fall reconstructing the bridge deck in the westbound lanes. Construction Engineer Kyle Videgar said the project is slated for completion by late fall or early winter of this year.

The company completed reconstruction of the eastbound bridge deck last year despite a somewhat later than expected opening because of COVID-related supply delays.

Crews are currently demolishing the existing westbound bridge deck.

Once demolition is completed, forms will be set in place to pour the new deck Videgar said.

In 2022, the structural steel under

Workers with Civil Constructors Inc. of Freeport move materials to replace the decking on the Interstate 180 Bridge in Hennepin. This year, crews will be replacing decking on the westbound lane. The project is expected to cost $25 million. the bridge will be repainted.

The project is 80% federally funded

with the state picking up the remaining 20% Videgar said.

The original bridge was built in 1968.

The Marshall-Putnam Fair will take you on a trip down memory lane as it presents 100 years of Country Pride at their Century-A-Fair from July 14-18.

The fair will be bringing back many fan favorites including the grandstand event that has appeared at all 100 fairs — harness racing.

There will be activities for all ages throughout the fair.

In addition to the races on Wednesday night, they will have the kick-off dinner and wine tasting; Thursday Family Fun Night; Friday night demo derby; Saturday Night PPL tractor/truck pulls; and Sunday Funday including the MP antique and stock tractor pulls and the annual car show. In addition, Tim Gill, the woodcarver, will be returning along with the special fair-themed contests and events, and the annual MP Fair antique tractor show. Throughout the fair, you can enjoy ImAGination Acres, livestock shows, exhibitors’ displays, vendors, and concessionaires.

Some of the favorite events are adding additional experiences this year to help commemorate the 100th anniversary. These include the addition of Windy City Dueling Pianos to wine tasting. This year’s Thursday night concert

is going all out bringing you three concerts in one night! The headliner is Tracy Byrd, with opening acts Craig Gerdes and the Joe Stamm Band.

A very special addition to the celebration of 100 years is the Budweiser Clydesdales, making their first appearance at the fair in over 15 years. Trivia signs with historical facts and fair memorabilia will be displayed throughout the fairgrounds in honor of the fair’s great success. There will also be 100 colorful rocks hidden on the grounds which can be returned to the fair office to receive a special prize, one per person.

For more details on any of these events, visit www.marshallputnamfair. org or phone the fair office at 309-3642814.

Displays needed

As patrons of Marshall-Putnam Fair were reminiscing of past fairs, they recalled the display of local seed dealers lining the underneath of the grandstand and commented on how they miss seeing that. The Marshall-Putnam Fair would like to take a step back into the past and invite any local seed dealers of the past or their families, to place a nostalgic display underneath the

grandstands.

They would also like to invite any family-owned produce businesses in the counties of Marshall or Putnam to setup a display of agricultural or horticultural products. These displays will be setup in the horticulture and ag products exhibitors section of the Commercial Building. If interested in participating in either of these displays, contact the fair office at 309-364-2814 or email mpfair@frontier.com.

Chief Senachwine DAR chapter kicks off summer membership drive

The Chief Senachwine chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is kicking off its summer membership drive by sharing information to help women find an answer to the question posed in the title of this article.

Although based in Henry, the chapter has members from Henry, Putnam, Princeton, Mineral, Lacon, Chillicothe, Wyoming (Ill.), Wyanet, etc.

Go to www.dar.org and click on “Membership.” There you will find helpful instructions, advice on finding your lineage, and a Prospective Member Information Request Form.

Another option is to call 202-879-3224 for more information on joining this vital, ser vice-minded organization.

As a member of DAR, you can continue its 130-year legacy by actively promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America’s future through better education for children.

Who is eligible for membership?

Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. Assistance in tracing your line is avail-

able through DAR volunteers.

What is the definition of a Patriot?

Patriots are not only soldiers and seamen but anyone who gave assistance to the cause of freedom. Some Patriots pledged an Oath of Loyalty; others donated supplies. The Chief Senachwine Chapter has a member who has traced her lineage from three Quakers — one of whom served as a town official and two who gave service by donating a beef and a blanket.

DAR has more than 185,000 members in nearly 3,000 chapters worldwide, including chapters in 14 foreign countries and one territory. Since its founding in 1890, DAR has admitted more than one million members.

Local chapters serve in their communities and support state and national projects. The Chief Senachwine Chapter has honored students from three area high schools via its Good Citizens program; has recognized community service by the Henry Events Committee; supported Honor Flight trips to Washington, D.C., by veterans; cleaned and rededicated gravestones of notables at the Henry Cemetery; promoted Constitution Week; donated to local food pantries; and promoted literacy and conservation, among other activities.

7 Phase 5 Guidance for Businesses and Venues This guidance replaces the industry-specific guidance that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity published as part of the state’s Restore Illinois plan. This guidance includes recommendations for all types of businesses and venues, customers, and employees in order to help maintain healthy environments and operations, as well as lower the risk of COVID-19 spread.

The following are reccomended prevention strategies that recognize that while the state of Illinois has made substantial progress in vaccinating its residents, a number of individuals remain ineligible or have not yet chosen to be vaccinated. Consistent use of prevention strategies will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and protect people who are not fully vaccinated, including customers, employees, and their families. As always, business and local municipalities may choose to implement additional prevention strategies as they deem appropriate.

• COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective,and widely available across Illinois. Everyone aged 12 years and older should be vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible to keep from getting and/or spreading COVID-19.

• For businesses and venues where everyone present is fully vaccinated, the state does not require face coverings and social distancing in both indoor and outdoor settings. Businesses and municipalities are permitted to continue requiring face coverings and social distancing as they deem appropriate.

• For indoor businesses and venues where everyone present is not fully vaccinated, unvaccinated persons should wear a face covering and maintain six feet social distance. Businesses and venues may continue to require a face covering and/or social distancing. At outdoor businesses and venues, unvaccinated persons may choose not to wear a face covering when able to maintain a six-foot social distance while outdoors, unless required to do so by a business or municipality.

• Although people who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear a face covering under state guidance, businesses and venues should be supportive of customers and emplorees who choose to wear a face covering.

• Persons who are immunocompromised should consider wearing face coverings when in settings where others may not be fully vaccinated • All unvaccinated persons should wear face coverings in crowded settings, both indoors and outdoors, especially when youth are present. See CDC guidance for further information • There are limited circumstances and settings where all individuals, including those who are fully vaccinated, must continue to wear a mask in accordance with CDC guidance:(1) on public transportation, (2) in congregate facilities, (3) in health care settings, and where required by federal, state. local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.

• Individuals in schools, day care settings, and and educational institutions should continue to follow separate guidance issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and Illinois Department of Public Health.

• All businesses and venues should support social distancing to the extent possible, especially in indoor settings. Businesses and venues should apply best practices in managing distancing at such places as concessions/counters, public restrooms, and lines/queuing, • This guidance will be updated as the CDC releases new recommendations and is meant to supplement any federal or local guidance, safety laws, rules, regulations or business safety policies that may expressly require a face covering and/or social distancing.

SM-PR1892422

• Continue to consult the CDCand IDPH websites for updated resources, guidelines, and rules related to COVID-19 safety.

The opening cabaret will feature a number of artists from all over the country, while also giving audiences insight to what talent, creativity and artistry will be in store this summer.

PUTNAM COUNTY

IVCC president responds to controversy, cites policy of freedom of curriculum for staff MICHAEL URBANEC

murbanec@shawmedia.com Some residents said questions on an American Federal Government course’s exam at Illinois Valley Community College were biased against conservative viewpoints.

A crowd of about 50 people gathered at the June 10 board meeting and spoke on the topic for about 80 minutes, with viewpoints from both sides of the issue.

Several attendees were protesting the use of three questions on the exam.

Those questions involved the Electoral College, right-wing media and the 2020 Presidential election and were shared via a Facebook post.

The questions are as follows: “Explain why it is time to get rid of the electoral college,” “explain how far right-wing media is negatively impacting American democracy” and “provide evidence that the 2020 election was

legitimate. Do not do the opposite. Information supporting conspiracies about the election shared here will result in a 0.”

IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said the board takes community feedback seriously, and the assessment these exam questions pose free speech issues for students with conservative viewpoints, but he also directed the community members to IVCC board policy that allows for freedom of speech and freedom of curriculum for staff, as well as freedom of research.

“This freedom includes the advocacy of the faculty member’s point of view, as well as the presentation of representative views within the discipline,” Corcoran said.

Corcoran said he stands behind the collective bargaining agreement between the board and faculty union and said he “fully understands the union’s position that a faculty member’s test questions are considered ‘intellectual property.’”

Corcoran said the curriculum is developed by content experts consistent with requirements for content set by the Illinois Articulation Initiative, which sets transfer requirements

between community colleges and universities.

“The questions are worded in a way to deny rights to the students,” said Martin Rue in reference to the student’s rights to education in an atmosphere free of bias and prejudice. “They lead the student to choices. A: Believe that the information provided by the instructor is indisputable and ignore any contradictory evidence or B: Answer what the student believes to be true and can support with evidence, even if it’s contrary to the instructor’s premise and risk a penalty for exercising free speech.”

LaSalle County Republicans Chairman Larry Smith said the college belongs to the community, not just to the staff, and it’s up to the college to provide service to the community.

Smith said the goal is diminished when a teacher teaches based on their own biased political philosophy, whether it be conservative or liberal.

“Students have tolerated the bias to get through the class like we all have,” Smith said. “We all went to college and we all had teachers that it was like pulling fingernails getting through a class, but you endure. Some of these students

have tolerated that bias to get through a class that they desperately needed to move on.”

Desiree Martin, who lives in Idaho but is familiar with the teacher in question and previously practiced law for six years in LaSalle County, said critical thinking is something this teacher tries to push in their class: It’s not about her political beliefs, but about making her students understand an opposing viewpoint.

“I can honestly say that my education prior to going to law school, being primarily educated in Idaho and Utah, my education was lacking in learning to look at issues and try to see and identify arguments on both sides of the issue,” Martin said. “I was raised primarily in a conservative household with a conservative perspective, and that was all I had for the better part of my life.”

Martin said she learned the law as she went through law school and started to recognize there would be times when she needed to argue against her own opinion or her own position on something to be able to properly represent clients or a situation.

GRANVILLE

2021 Hopkins Alumni Scholarships awarded

The 2021 Hopkins Alumni Scholarship winners have been announced.

Melanie Trinidad received a $1,500 scholarship award, and Adam Currie and Samuel Currie each received $1,000 scholarship.

Melanie is the daughter of Agustina Castro and Ricardo Trinidad of Granville. Her family includes four siblings. During her four years at Putnam County High School, she participated in National Honors Society, Interact Club and volleyball. She volunteered service at blood drives, the food pantry, the poinsettia drive and at freshman orientation. Her future plans are to become a first-generation college graduate in the field of criminal justice and become an immigration lawyer.

Adam and Samuel are the son of the Gretchen and Scott Currie of Granville. Their family

includes two other siblings.

Adam has participated in baseball and basketball, and volunteered at church fundraisers.

He was a teacher’s aide in a high school special education class.

He also worked part-time at Rural King and Fish “N” Fun. His goal is to study and receive a bachelor’s and master’s degree in chemical engineering and hopes to contribute to fuel-efficiency research.

Samuel has participated in baseball and basketball as well as Interact, National Honors Society and FFA. His volunteer work includes blood drives, basketball camp for youth and working at church fundraisers. He also worked part-time at Rural King, Fish “N” Fun, Lake Thunderbird and umpiring baseball. His goal is to attend the Milwaukee School of Engineering to major in mechanical engineering.

• IVCC Continued from Page 11 “Critical thinking is an essential skill for me as an attorney, but I know that it’s an essential skill for people in all aspects of life professionally and personally, and it’s important for all of us to have those skills in order to not only navigate through today’s complex world but also to be able to try and see things from other people’s perspective, for us to be able to engage in a productive political conversation.”

Martin said part of critical thinking is learning to discern between facts and non-facts, non-evidence, truth and fiction.

“I find it interesting that we have three questions that are brought forth as an example of the teacher’s entire curriculum,” Martin said. “I would be interested to see the other exam questions, and I really want to encourage those who are against this to understand that just because you’re asked to argue a position, doesn’t mean that you have to hold that independent belief. It’s giving you the education and growth opportunity to look at an issue or a question from multiple sides and, identify the facts that support those positions and opinions.”

Smith also commented about wanting to see the other questions on the exam before passing full judgment.

Max Halm, a former IVCC student, said the professor in question welcomes disagreement in her course and they’re always respectful.

“It breaks my heart to see and hear from somebody who never actually sat in her class say disparaging things,” Halm said. “She’s a phenomenal instructor who deserves to be celebrated and honored and awarded, and not disparaged by the people who’ve done so tonight.”

Tracy Lee, with IVCC’s teacher’s union, said the union would like to thank the administration for their consistent support on the issue, and it’s been handled in a way that has prioritized the needs of the students and the faculty it serves.

Smith said the exam questions were “inappropriate” and “politically biased.” He suggested “tasks and tactics” be employed “to stop this kind of bias” such as a “community-based ongoing review process” of transfer program curriculum – “Not to intervene but to keep you closer to your community.” Smith complimented the professionalism he was met with at IVCC. Regarding the demand for a community review of transfer course content, Corcoran said the college would “explore such a process” in the fall but noted he is unaware of any other Illinois community college with an external advising body for transfer curriculum.

BASEBALL

DON BALDIN Shaw Media

GRANVILLE – The Putnam County Panthers and Kewanee Wethersfield/ Annawan Titans both came into the June 7 Class 1A regional championship game with the same mindset: Put your ace pitcher on the mound and scratch out a run somehow.

Unfortunately for the Panthers and starting pitcher Drake Smith, it was the Titans who found success that way in their 2-0 victory.

“We sent Colton [Quagliano] to the mound because he is our guy, and he comes up big in big games,” Titans coach Pat Keane said. “Smith threw the ball well for them, and we knew that if we could push a run across, we could win. We only really had one opportunity and were able to take advantage of it, and Q carried us from there.”

PC coach Chris Newsome echoed the same sentiment after his team’s

OGLESBY

tough loss.

“We knew Colton was going to be tough and that it was going to come down to who would execute and who could take advantage of a scoring chance,” Newsome said. “We weren’t able to, and they were. That was the difference.

“Drake pitched a heck of a game.

These hurt to lose as a pitcher.”

The game began with the pitchers exuding dominance, as Quagliano and Smith went batter for batter, neither giving up a hit in the first four innings.

Then in the top of the fifth, Smith kept his perfect game going on his way to a 10-strikeout, one-walk performance while only giving up two hits. In the bottom of the fifth with two out, designated hitter Josh Jessen lined a single the other way into right field for the first hit of the ballgame, but Quagliano finished the inning with a strikeout – one of 13 on the day against three walks and two hits allowed.

The game moved to the top of the

sixth with neither team able to tally a run. That’s when Titans first baseman Isaac Melton singled to lead off the inning and advanced to second on a passed ball before moving to third when Will Rumbold got on via an error to put runners on the corners with nobody out.

Smith battled back with a strikeout before Quagliano was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out for Wethersfield/Annawan catcher Eli Merrick. The Titans’ backstop hammered an 0-1 pitch right past the second basemen and into right-center field to drive in the only two runs of the ballgame.

The Panthers turned a double play to get Smith out of the inning trailing, 2-0.

“We had a chance to get out of the inning. If that drive would have been caught, it most likely would have been a double play, but it was hard hit, and credit them for taking advantage of the opportunity,” Newsome said of the

game-winning play.

The Panthers showed no quit, as Jackson McDonald ripped a two-out single to give PC a spark that Quagliano quickly extinguished with another strikeout. The Panthers got their best scoring chance in the bottom of the seventh when Chris Uzella got hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a balk, but Jessen’s fly ball to left was gloved to end the game and the Panthers season with a record of 17-6.
