HENNEPIN
Hennepin couple awarded Putnam County Rotary’s Service Above Self Award BY KIM SHUTE Shaw Media HENNEPIN — A Hennepin couple has been awarded Putnam County Rotary’s Service Above Self Award. Jennifer and Rob Spratt, owners of Spratt’s Tap weren’t looking for recognition for feeding the county’s school kids during this spring’s COVID-19 shutdowns, they were just looking for a way to give back to the community. Nearly 3,000 lunches later though, they’re being recognized by their community. “When Gov. Pritzker announced in March of this year the closing of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt we needed to do something to help the families that would be affected by the closure,” Jen Spratt said. “Having been a substitute teacher at the schools and having a mother that is currently the secretary at the junior high school, I was aware that many families depended on school breakfasts and lunches to help feed their kids,” she said. In the beginning, she put on the Spratt’s Tap Facebook page that hot dogs and chips would be available to any student in need of a meal daily at the restaurant, and any student needing internet for online learning
would be able to use the dining room and free Wi-Fi available at the bar. The first week not many students took advantage of the meals, she said, but the community started to notice the program and donated money and goods. After donations started coming in, they were able to start offering more food varieties and also started to deliver meals throughout the county. This helped provide the service to more families, while also helping to keep Spratt’s Tap staff working during a very hard time. The Spratts were able to keep their employees on the payroll and tips also were given to them for delivery of the lunches. In total 2,730 lunches were served throughout the county from March through May The Spratts are lifelong Putnam County residents, growing up in Hennepin and Mark. They currently live in Hennepin with their children, Maggie, 12, and Dylan, 8. Both Rob and Jen, along with their parents, grandparents and now children, attended Putnam County schools. Rob is currently production manager at Mennie’s Machine and Jen runs their businesses Spratt’s Tap in Hennepin and GPS Gaming in Granville. They have been married for almost 14 years. In June of 2017

Spratt and her husband, Rob, have been awarded Putnam County Rotary’s Service Above Self Award for giving back to their community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rob and Jen purchased Waterfront Tavern — better known as Ray’s Place — on Hennepin’s riverfront
and have been running the business ever since as Spratt’s Tap. It is a bar and full service restaurant.

Health department administrator urges moving forward with ‘great caution’ As Illinois has moved into Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan, the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments remind citizens that COVID-19 has not gone away. “For persons at higher risk for serious illness and complications from contracting COVID-19 this is a time for moving forward with great caution,” said Hector Gomez, administrator of the Bureau, Putnam, Mar-
shall County Health Departments. “For the rest of us, it is a time to realize the risks some of our family, friends and neighbors are still facing and exercise good sense and concern for all members of our communities. COVID-19 is not gone and there is no cure.” Gomez explained that “Phase 4 will be the longest of the Restore Illinois phases unless COVID-19 cases increase again to a level that begins
to threaten availability of health care services. Phase 5 will not be attained until there are vaccines or effective treatments or cures available and that will be months, or longer, to reach.” To prepare businesses and employers to implement new and updated safety guidelines in Phase 4, the state has developed a toolkit complete with signage, posters and other resources to ensure business and
activities are conducted in accordance with the latest public health recommendations. Phase 4 guidelines include five new industry categories and updated recommendations for the existing categories from Phase 3. Each set of guidelines includes a common set of guidelines that are expected and encouraged among all employers and activity types, as well as workplace and program-specific guidelines.
The new/updated guidelines address: • Meetings and social events. • Indoor and outdoor recreation. • Museums. • Zoos. • Theaters and performing arts. • Youth and recreational sports. • Film production. • Manufacturing. • Offices. • Retail.
• Service counters. • Health and fitness centers. • Personal care services. • Day camps. • Outdoor seated spectator events. • Indoor and outdoor tennis facilities. • RV parks and campgrounds. The guidelines can be found on-line at dceocovid19resources.com/restore-illinois/ restore-illinois-phase-4.

PCCC staff will continue to provide assistance by phone & e-mail. Please call the phone numbers below or e-mail staff@pcaservices.org.

BUREAU, PUTNAM, MARSHALL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS news@putnamcountyrecord.com PRINCETON — The Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Department is working to get an $817,000 state grant that will be used to conduct COVID-19 tracing. The grant would be used to hire part-time tracers who would be responsible in the investigation of tracing positive cases back to its origin. That information would then be put into a state system. Hector Gomez, director of the health departments, said the role of a tracer would involve talking with different people. “Once you have a positive, you have 24 hours to get that person and start the process right away to see what locations they were at and who they were with and try to contact as many people as quickly as possible so you can to try to stop the spread,” he said. Gomez said in some cases people may not want to give information or may not be truthful, for whatever reason. “It’s kind of hard to force someone
to talk,” he said. Right now, the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments is waiting on approval for the grant. The requirements of the grant process were changed after their application was submitted. “They changed what the requirements were a little bit. We might get it back and (have to) make changes,” Gomez said. “(The applications) were due back June 5 at the time and then they extended to the ninth of June. By then, we had already submitted ours.” Larger health departments are expected to receive more funding compared to smaller health departments, due to population. If there’s anyone who understands the importance of contact-tracing to combat the spread of COVID-19, it’s Gomez. He contracted the virus in early April and missed three weeks of work, but is now fully recovered. He is unsure where he contracted the virus. “I think I’m OK. I tell people, I don’t know what’s going to happen to me 10 years from now,” he said. “Sometimes

Annual Larry Klein Memory Ride and Benefit postponed until 2021 HENRY — The eighth annual Larry Klein Memory Ride and Benefit is being sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the guidelines for social distancing and the recently announced phases, it is highly unlikely they would be able to have 200-plus people together in August. It takes many weeks to plan stops and secure sponsors, arrange other details, and gather donations for the silent auction and raffle. It is important to continue to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) so they will be selling shirts. As in
past years, they are $20 and have a bit of a unique design this year. For ordering details, visit their Facebook page (Larry Klein Memory Ride & Benefit) or call 309-363-8811. Monetary donations made payable to AFSP will still be accepted and can be mailed to: Tracy Wright, 110 S. Selby Ave., Ladd, IL 61329. There is also a donation site set up on their Facebook page for secure online giving. Donations are tax-deductible since AFSP is a 501(c)(3) organization. In the past seven years, this event has raised more than $40,000 for suicide awareness.

SPRING SPORTS SEASON

PC equipment turn-in day especially hard to take BY KEVIN HIERONYMUS news@putnamcountyrecord.com The 2020 high school spring sports season will forever be remembered as one with high anticipation and high hopes that turned into much disappointment and sadness. The Princeton softball team was coming off the first regional championship in school history and geared for another. The St. Bede softball team hoped to make a return trip to the state tournament. In track, Bureau Valley junior Kamyrn Kolb, a state champion as a freshman, was looking to get on track after illness sidelined her for competing at state as a sophomore. Hall senior Marshall Walk hoped to carry over the success of state championships and try to run down another. Then the nation was shut down by the coronavirus pandemic in March and all those hopes and sports dreams became missed opportunities and “what could have been a.” Princeton baseball coach Wick Warren found it ironic the day everything shut down. “It was very sad, We were ready to go and boom, March 13 ... Friday the 13th ended everything,” he said. “Baseball is notorious for superstition, but Friday, March 13, is beyond anything anyone could imagine.” Warren remained hopeful, keeping PHS’ Prather Field in meticulous shape throughout the rest of spring for the games that never happened.
Uniform turn-in Putnam County baseball coach Chris Newsome always tries to lighten the mood if he sees one of his players having a bad day. There was little he could say when the news broke that the season was canceled. “Usually this little humor breaks the poor-me outlook, shoulders go back to normal, chins lift up and we get back to normal. When this pandemic caused us to cancel the spring season, there wasn’t a joke or a story I could tell them to get it all back to normal; normal was gone,” he said. Newsome said the next hardest thing was conducting the uniform turn-in. “We just received two new uniform tops and the guys were pumped to play in the new threads. Having to turn the uniforms in without ever playing in them was tough,” he said. The seniors did get to dress up in the uniforms to have some individual action shots taken of them, thanks to Deb Pyszka, Newsome said.
Defending champions The Princeton Tigresses softball returned much young talent from its 2019 regional championship teams, including seven regular starters.
They envisioned putting more numbers of championships on the banner at Prut Gym. It never happened. “It was weird not to be able to play this year,” PHS sophomore outfielder Hannah Muehlschlegal, who was an All-BCR First Team pick as a freshman. “We all look forward to playing together all year, so it was very disappointing to not get that opportunity. We will miss the seniors next season, but the incoming freshman class has a lot of talent, so I am excited to get on the field next year, make more memories, and hopefully be able to defend our title.” Sophomore pitcher Katie Bates was unlikely to have been able to pitch this spring due to a shoulder injury, so the canceled season bought her time to recover. “We were all disappointed that we didn’t get to play our season, because we were planning on picking up right where we left off, but honestly, I had mixed emotions about it,” she said. “It was almost a blessing in disguise for me. Ever since I tore my labrum in my right shoulder last August, pitching was a struggle. I most likely wouldn’t have been able to pitch this season, but with the extra rest and time to build up my strength. “I’ve been able to ease back into it and get back to where I used to be, which I’m super excited about.”
An eye for state The St. Bede Lady Bruins were coming off third-place finish at state last year and returning six starters. All it needed was someone (senior Hayley Short) to step up to take over the pitching duties for workhorse Abby May and the leadership of 2019 BCR Player of the Year, Maggie Sons. The Lady Bruins were excited to get back on the field. “How could you not be (excited),” St. Bede coach Rob Ruppert said. “We were looking forward to good things. We were just getting started. Man, we had high hopes. “Obviously, it’s tough to make it back to state. We set a goal every year. We want to make state and we work our way back - super-sectional, sectional, regional conference. And you take the little victories - the Halls, the L-Ps, the Marquettes.” Ruppert felt bad for all the girls, especially the seniors, that they didn’t get a chance to play. “It just stung having that taken away from us, but I also understand the gravity of the situation,” he said. “I think we probably did right from what the government and IHSA did. It’s paying off now, I think. But, still the girls put in a lot of hard work not only in the spring, but, a lot of them play year round and put a lot of effort in it and they didn’t get to use it.”And some of those seniors, it was going to be the last time they were going to play.”
Back on track Bureau Valley’s Kolb was hoping to make up for lost time, her junior trip to state canceled when she developed mono the week of state. She had anchored the Storm’s state champion 4x100

Putnam County’s senior got to try on their new uniforms for size, even if they didn’t get to play in them this year. PC seniors are Jacob Wiesbrook (from left), Jake Pyszka, Luke Olson, Max Magana, Ben Cyr, Brayden Holmes and Jacob Williams
relay and state runner-up 4x2 relay as a freshman, and was putting in a lot of extra work to get back atop the awards podium. All those plans and dreams came crashing down with the cancellation of the season. “I was completely devastated when the season was canceled,” Kolb said. “Knowing last season when I got mono, everyone told me I still had two more years to come back and bring home four first place medals. With this season gone I have one more left and I’m going to push past my goals. “I’m going for state records. I’m thankful for my family who have been by my side helping me train and getting ready for my senior year.” Like Kolb, Hall’s Walk was a state champion, anchoring the Red Devils’ blue-ribbon 4x100 and 4x200 relays last year. He was getting all geared up for another state run, more on the individual side this year with his relay mates the year before graduated. “It was very hard to comprehend that I was not going to have a senior season at first, but as time went on I just accepted it more,” he said. “Everyone always remembers their senior season over any other season as time goes on but my class will not get to have that luxury.” Walk tries look at things in a positive way, because “that’s all you really can do.” “I am fortunate enough to say I still went out with a “bang” as last year we had an unbelievable end to our season, and I came out of it with two state championships and another individual medal,” he added. “I always tell myself this all could’ve been worse if it were to happen last year, and we wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to compete for our state titles in our relays. “So there are always the pros and cons, but ultimately I can’t be too upset with it myself because every single athlete had to go through the same situation and fortunately enough I came out on top either way and had a blast with some amazing friends of mine.”
