Putnam County Superintendent Clayton Theisinger issued a statement Sunday that ensured the district will continue to monitor the case and adjust its requirements accordingly.

Putnam County school district to maintain mask requirement following Sangamon County circuit judge’s order District said it will continue to monitor the case and adjust accordingly

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com Following a late Friday afternoon restraining order from Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge Raylene Grischow, Putnam County School District #535 will keep all prevention strategies, including masks, in place at this time.

The judge’s restraining order blocks nearly 170 school districts named in Greenville attorney Thomas DeVore’s lawsuit from enforcing mask requirements and exclusion rules for students and staff as well as vaccination and testing requirements for school staff without a “due process.”

Putnam County Superintendent Clayton Theisinger issued a statement Sunday that ensured the district will continue to monitor the case and adjust its requirements accordingly.

“At this time all prevention strategies remain in place as they were last week, including mask requirements and exclusions,” Theisinger stated. “We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to prioritize the

well-being of all students and staff while providing in-person learning.”

Theisinger also mentioned that Putnam County schools were not included in the list of schools involved in the lawsuit and the impact of the temporary restraining order does not impact the district.

The Illinois Attorney General’s Office is also seeking an “expedited appeal” of the restraining order from the Fourth District Appellate Court.

What has resulted regionally is local school districts are deciding their own course of action, until the litigation is settled.

While several school districts, such as Peru and Streator Elementary, Mendota schools, Hall and La Salle-Peru high schools, among others, have decided to maintain the state’s orders, that didn’t stop other districts from reexamining their policies.

Seneca High School, for example, issued a letter to its parents implementing a plan its school board put into place in June, in which masking was optional in certain situations. Princeton High School, Princeton Elementary and Earlville school districts also are suspending their mask mandates.

Streator High School scheduled an e-learning day Monday to allow time for its board of education to meet at

7 p.m. Monday in the school’s auditorium and vote on following the temporary restraining order.

The La Salle-Peru High School Board called an emergency meeting Sunday to re-examine its COVID-19 policy. Since it was not named in the lawsuit, the board decided to keep its protocols in place, which requires students and staff to wear masks. Some residents attending the meeting shouted in disagreement at the board’s decision, calling them cowards and threatening to vote them out during the next election.

The Appellate Court is expected to issue a ruling on or around Feb. 17, the L-P board said.

“We believe the most prudent course of action is to address our mitigation plans when this information is received and interpreted,” Superintendent Steven Wrobleski said.

Pritzker said in a statement Friday that removing the masking policies at school districts may lead to more districts having to go remote if there is increased COVID-19 activity. The Illinois Education Association also issued a statement Friday in disagreement with the ruling, saying it calls into question the safety of schools across the state.

Death of Wyanet 15-year-old being investigated as homicide

PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD

By KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com Cole Daniel Rinehart’s death is being investigated as a homicide by the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department, according to Peoria County’s coroner.

Coroner Jamie Harwood said Rinehart’s cause of death is blunt force head trauma caused by another individual. Sheriff Jim Reed confirmed there is an ongoing investigation, though he declined to disclose the nature of the investigation at this time.

Rinehart died on Sunday, Jan. 30, at OSF St. Francis Medical Center Cole in Peoria. Rinehart was transported Rinehart via Life Flight from OSF St. Clare in Princeton the preceding day after an altercation in Wyanet with another 15 year-old boy, according to the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office.

Rinehart was a student at Bureau Valley High School.

“I have been an educator for 30 years and I have had

the privilege of teaching and knowing about 600 children,” BV teacher Laurie Bitting said. “When I think about certain students, I can’t always remember if they were a great reader, excellent at math or if they loved science, but what always stays with me is what kind of person they were.

“Thinking back over the year I spent with Cole, what I remember most is how incredibly sweet Cole was. Cole was quiet but always attentive and interested in anything that we were talking about in class.

He walked through the door each morning with a smile on his face and he was such a happy young man.

Polite and respectful are also qualities that I remember about Cole and that speaks volumes about his parents and the way in which he was raised.”

“Even though Cole and I were in the same building in Manlius, our paths didn’t cross during the school day but the loss I feel is great. I know in my heart that Cole was loved by many and my deepest condolences go out to his family. I will remember him always as that cheerful, smiling third grader who struggled to keep his glasses pushed up on his nose. May God welcome him with open arms.”

Bureau Junction death being investigated as suspicious, Sheriff Jim Reed says

By KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com

The death of a 55-year-old Bureau man is being investigated as a suspicious death by the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office.

Bureau County Sheriff James Reed said in a Thursday news release that about 8:17 p.m. Jan. 20 deputies responded to 105 N. North St. in Bureau Junction for an unknown medical issue.

Tyson McCann was discovered in the home and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The case is under investigation by the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office and Bureau County Coroner, Janice Wamhoff, as a suspicious death, according to the release. The investigation is ongoing and awaiting a final autopsy and toxicology report.

Bureau Fire first responders and Princeton EMS also responded to the scene.

Veterans will have a new outlet to lodge complaints with state Local lawmakers concerned about governor’s lack of signature, despite his support

By DEREK BARICHELLO

dbarichello@shawmedia.com Complaints with the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs will receive a new level of review after a state law that is going into effect creating a new unit.

Gov. JB Pritzker failed to act within 60 days on legislation that creates a veterans’ accountability unit within the IDVA. Because the governor did not sign or veto the proposal within 60 days after it reached his desk, it automatically becomes law.

Pritzker’s administration has been criticized for its handling of the state-run veterans home in La Salle after 36 residents died from complications related to COVID-19.

In November 2020, the veterans home had an outbreak of 109 cases among residents. Additionally, there were 116 cases among employees at the veterans home. The outbreak brought scrutiny to the veterans home about its handling of the pandemic. The head of the state’s veterans administration has since resigned and the administrator of the La Salle facility was removed from her post.

The bill, sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit of Oswego and Democratic state Sen. Tom Cullerton of Villa Park, was approved in October without opposition in both legislative chambers.

Scott Anderson

State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, was joined by several veteran organizations at the Illinois Veterans home in La Salle last year. Rezin recently was critical of Gov. JB Pritzker’s office for not signing or vetoing a bill designed to create another layer of accountability for the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.

It creates a veterans’ accountability unit within the state VA, with a director to be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. While it will operate independently of the department, the new unit will be funded out of the agency’s budget. The new office will be responsible for taking complaints and recommendations from veterans and others who receive services from the department, including residents, contractors and vendors working with the IDVA.

Pritzker’s office told the Chicago Tribune the proposal did not get a response from the governor’s office because of “an internal miscommunication.”

Pritzker’s office also told the Chicago Tribune it supports the bill becoming law and looks forward to implementing it.

While the bill becomes law, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, was critical of the governor’s failure to act within 60 days on legislation that creates a veterans’ accountability unit within the IDVA because of an “internal miscommunication” “The Pritzker administration has a history of making careless mistakes when caring for veterans with catastrophic consequences,” Rezin said. “Fortunately for them, this one didn’t lead to 36 veterans dying as we saw in late 2020 when the Pritzker administration waited 11 days before providing crucial on-site assistance, leaving our nation’s heroes and employees defenseless.”

Illinois House Republican Conference Chair Rep. David Welter, R-Morris, also issued a statement critical of Pritzker.

“Gov. Pritzker’s woefully inadequate response to the deadliest outbreak at a state-run facility in Illinois history continues to fail our veterans by forgetting to sign a bill to provide accountability in the wake of the fatal COVID-19 outbreak at the La Salle Veterans’ Home,” Welter said. “Fourteen months later, we continue to get the same excuse citing internal miscommunication from the Pritzker administration, making us no more confident in the governor’s ability to prioritize the health and well-being of our veterans.”

The Putnam County Rotary will host a virtual open house at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 24, for anyone who lives or works in Putnam County. This open house will be complete with door prize drawings and opportunities to volunteer for one of the Rotary’s service projects.

In 2022, the organization hopes to expand its efforts with the participation of more volunteers. Whether you are interested in helping on one or more Rotary projects or are considering joining, the PC Rotary welcomes participation of all community members.

Projects that need volunteer help include the upcoming PCHS PostProm Afterglow, support of two Rotary ‘Little Free Pantries’ in Standard and McNabb, a ‘positive message’ project at PCJH, sponsorship of Interact Clubs at the Junior High and High Schools and co-hosting of local blood drives.

Other projects the Rotary is currently involved in include Rotary Readers at the primary and elementary schools, plans for a Soup for Seniors Sunday event in March,

awarding of several scholarships, recognition of community volunteers, annual dictionary distribution to third graders, Christmas projects benefiting children and seniors and support of other local organizations doing good things for local residents.

Due to concerns for the health and safety of members, the organization has again returned to virtual meetings that are normally held twice monthly.

The group hopes to soon return to in-person dinner meetings at LJ’s in Magnolia.

Young IVAR donor Avery Sontheimer fighting cancer again Pennsylvania teen has raised $25,000 for animal shelters across the country

By TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com A Pennsylvania teen who donated money to Illinois Valley Animal Rescue, among numerous other shelters, from her sickbed is once again fighting cancer.

Avery Sontheimer, who recently turned 15, warmed many hearts in 2020 when she launched a fundraiser and used the proceeds to mail $5 gift cards to animal shelters across the U.S. Avery was at that time battling Ewing sarcoma, a cancer affecting the bones or adjoining tissue, but managed to donate to 3,000 shelters.

IVAR was among the many recipients.

Chris Tomsha, executive director, was moved to tears by Avery’s donation and sent out prayer requests for her recovery. The prayers seemed to work: Avery reported last spring she was in remission.

Now, the cancer is back.

“As most of you know Avery has been cancer free for nine months but unfortunately she had scans today and the cancer is back again in her lungs,” read a Tuesday

post on Avery’s Facebook page, Avery’s Pawsitive Change.

According to the post, Avery will undergo lung surgery next week followed by more chemotherapy.

“Please say prayers for Avery to have the strength to fight this horrible cancer again,” read the post. “We need all the prayers we can get.”

There, Tomsha said, she need not worry: IVAR supporters will be asked to lend their voices for a full recovery.

“I’m praying that all will be good,” Tomsha said. “Even at her the worst of her illness she showed a lot of heart – I can’t even talk.”

The GoFundMe page that Avery launched no longer is accepting donations, but the link shows she raised more than $25,000 – a remarkable total for a girl stricken with cancer at age 13.

Avery wasn’t available Wednesday for comment on her setback. She had stated previously her dream is to open a shelter in an underserved area of northwest Pennsylvania, where she makes her home.

“I love helping animals,” Avery said previously. “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.”

A rendering depicts the updated first-floor main historic stairwell and hallway entrance at St. Bede Academy in Peru.

Restoration work continues at St. Bede Academy Phase 3 is a more than $5 million capital project to renovate the academy SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK

Work has started on the north wing of the second floor of St. Bede Academy in Peru with the first of four sections that will be renovated as part of the ongoing, long-range capital improvement plan titled The Legacy Project.

The announcement marks the continuation of Phase 3, a more than $5 million capital project to renovate the academy.

The Phase 3 Academy Renovation project follows the fire and life safety upgrade and construction of the Gateway Arch of Phase 1 in 2015 and the Perino Science Center Addition of Phase 2 completed in 2018.

Phase 3 started in 2019 with the modernization of all student restroom spaces. Renovations will resume in 2022 following plans to renovate and upgrade nearly 40,000 square feet of teaching and learning space of the first and second floors of the academy building in the next 24 to 36 months.

Work will be completed in quadrants beginning on the second floor. It will address deferred maintenance issues and energy inefficiencies the building has faced for decades, but it also will go beyond that.

The upgrades to the building will be state-of-the-art featuring collaborative and flexible spaces. The work on this first of four sections is expected to take seven months and is slated for completion in time for the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

We want to preserve and enhance the building’s character, tradition and history.”

St. Bede Superintendent Eve Postula Superintendent Eve Postula said the renovation of the 132-year-old academy building required the same ingenuity as the Perino Science Center when it was built.

“We want to preserve and enhance the building’s character, tradition and history,” Postula said in a news release. “Our goal is to provide continuity between the 21st century learning environment of the Perino Science Center and retaining the iconic character of our beloved Academy building.”

The renovation was designed with the help of a local architectural firm that specializes in historical preservation and contractors familiar with the academy building.

Postula said the renovation “will combine the best of both worlds with modernization and renovation of existing space.”

“This is a historic time for St. Bede Academy,” said Julia Yaklich, director of mission advancement and major gifts. “Thanks to the generosity of alumni, donors and special friends who believe in our mission, we are able to begin these much needed and critically important renovations as our campus continues to be modernized.”

“The generosity of our St. Bede community is

clearly apparent. To date, the campaign for the academy renovations has secured funding of $4 million with $1.5 million needed to complete the project.”

“This exciting new beginning and renewal for the academy building rests with the commitment and trust of our donors and the SBA community” Yaklich said. “They are passionate about St. Bede’s future and their support is a testament of the confidence and pride they have for what our faculty is accomplishing with our students. We are grateful for the commitment from our donors that an investment in our capital campaign is an investment in our students and our future.”

Postula cited how the design will benefit current and future students.

Specific renovations in the first section in the next seven months include: Seven classrooms will be overhauled and a new teacher collaboration space will be added.

Work will include infrastructure upgrades including lighting, heating, cooling, electrical and 49 new windows.

New lockers will be installed, as well as new classroom furnishings and technology.

“This long-awaited transformation will benefit our students today and in the future,” said Abbot Philip Davey, OSB. “The Legacy Project and the renovations to the academy is truly about the future. It is about ensuring there is always a place for lives to be enriched and transformed for Christ.”

More about the Academy renovations can be found on St. Bede’s website www.st-bede.com and the St. Bede Academy Facebook page.

Panthers hold off hard-charging Marquette again

By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK

cellerbrock@shawmedia.com

Charlie Ellerbrock

Putnam County’s Jackson McDonald drives the lane against Marquette’s defense in Friday night’s game in Granville. much. … We were lucky to pull this one out.”

Just as in the Tri-County Tournament third-place game in which PC led by as many as 22 before Marquette rallied to within seven before falling 65-49, the Panthers were a step quicker to every loose ball and every offensive rebound to expand on a 17-16 lead early in the second with an 18-7 burst before the half. After McDonald picked up his third foul at the 4:21 mark, Mattingly took over and finished with nine in that period alone for a 35-21 home edge.

But after a Chad Olson basket set the lead at 45-27, Marquette went off, forcing seven PC turnovers in scoring the next 14 points, seven by Durdan with the last 3 on a bomb at 1:35 to slice the Panthers’ lead to 45-41.

A Nelson drive, a putback by Pete McGrath and a Durdan deuce off an Alex Graham bullet pass cut it down to one. It went to one again when Graham made a free throw and Durdan put in the second-shot miss at 1:10, and again on two Durdan free throws with 22.8 seconds left.

But on the ensuing inbounds play, Mattingly went the length of the court to a layup with 16.6 seconds left to provide the final margin.

“The difference was the same thing it was the other night: We didn’t get out of the gates,” Hopkins said. “We’re like a racehorse right now, in that we can’t get out to a good start, and if you can’t do that, chances are you’re not going to win the race. “

GRANVILLE – It’s a pretty sure bet that despite their combined decades of coaching high school athletes, Putnam County coach Harold Fay and Marquette coach Todd Hopkins would be willing to pay a shiny new dime to the person who could tell them what goes on in their players’ heads.

After Friday night’s Tri-County Conference battle at RM Germano Gym, they might even up that to a quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Panthers were playing with such confidence that – even without foul-plagued star Jackson McDonald – they expanded a two-point lead to 12 in a span of five minutes.

But in the second half, the Crusaders used their pressure defense to three times cut a 16-point deficit in the early third to one and even had a shot at a tie at the buzzer.

That try, however, misfired, and the Panthers – who had been outscored 37-24 in the last 14 minutes – escaped with a 63-60 victory.

Austin Mattingly poured in 13 of his team-best 19 points as PC made the Cru look slow in the first two quarters.

He and Andrew Pyszka sank key buckets in the fourth to help the hosts hang on and jump to 16-13 on the season, 6-1 in the TCC. McDonald finished with 14 points and Pyszka 11, while sophomore Orlando Harris had a team-best nine rebounds, five in the final quarter.

Tom Durdan got the Crusaders to that single-digit deficit, netting 19 of his game-high 21 points in the latter half, including the three scores that closed it to just one point. Logan Nelson, in perhaps his best game of the season, finished with 15 points and seven rebounds, and Beau Ewers added eight rebounds as MA fell to 15-9, 3-3 in the league.

“I think in the first half without Jackson, I thought we just didn’t try to do too much,” Fay said. “We took care of the ball, we ran some offense and took care of things, but then the pressure came, and we lost our minds. …

They went small and gave us ball pressure like I haven’t seen anyone give us trouble like that all season. Our key guys were just not executing, started hanging their heads a little bit, and we missed some shots we usually make.

“Marquette just plays hard. Coach Hopkins does a great job getting that much energy out of them down that
