Firefighter training on Saturday included four separate burns. During each one, about 10 firefighters worked as a team on the situation.

Local firefighters participate in flashover simulations

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com While rain and cooler weather hit the Illinois Valley Saturday morning, things were heating up for more than 50 local firefighters from 11 area fire departments.

Spring Valley Fire Department played host to a flashover training session that took place at JFK Elementary School in Spring Valley.

Many departments from the Northern Bureau County Firefighters Association took part in the crucial training, including Spring Valley, Ladd, Hennepin, Granville and Standard.

A flashover occurs when a room reaches a high temperature where everything in it ignites, including the smoke itself. Temperatures for a flashover can exceed 1,000 degrees.

“We want to show the guys how to prevent a flashover,” Spring Valley Fire Chief Todd Bogatitus said. “It’s very important training.”

The training was put on through Sauk Valley Community College and was designed to simulate the conditions of a flashover fire inside of a semi-trailer.

“They have a small flashover inside,” Bogatitus said. “They’ll be in the smoke inside the trailer and see the temperature increase from the beginning stage

Knowing when to and how to control a flashover before somebody gets burned is crucial. When it happens you have split seconds to make a decision on how to prevent it before firefighters can get burned even with the protective gear on.”

Todd Bogatitus, Spring Valley fire chief of the fire to right before the flashover.”

Bogatitus said that outside of the control environment, firefighters have very little time to prevent flashovers and to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

“Knowing when to and how to control a flashover before somebody gets burned is crucial,” Bogatitus said.

“When it happens you have split seconds to make a decision on how to prevent it before firefighters can get burned even with the protective gear on.”

Saturday’s training included four separate burns with about 10 firefighters completing the training at a time.

Spring Valley Firefighter Matt Eilers, who was part of the day’s first burn, mentioned that he observed the temperature in the simulation reach a high of 1,028 degrees.

“It was hot,” Eilers said. “You can’t see anything. The smoke rolls down and is pitch black and then all of a sudden you see the fire. You can see the glow start to get bigger and bigger and then the fire shoots across your head all the way behind you.”

The operators controlled the airflow to the simulator through the doors located on the side as participants were seated on the ground, facing forward, as a flashover formed in front of them.

This training previously was completed in Spring Valley in 2015 and was put on under the direction of instructors from the Blackhawk Firefighters Association through SVCC. Local Emergency Medical Services were on hand to check the vitals of the firefighters entering and leaving the simulator to ensure everyone’s safety.

While the training is very intense, with firefighters having to deal with heavy amounts of smoke and extremely high heats, Bogatitus said that he believes all firefighters should be exposed to this type of training in their careers to prepare them for events that may occur outside of a simulation.

Drive or Ride Benefit Run for Sheffield’s Savanna Bell set for June 18

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS

khieronymus@bcrnews.com The Bureau Valley Area Ride or Drive Benefit Run is set for Saturday, June 18. The run will benefit Savanna Bell of Sheffield, a 2016 Bureau Valley High School graduate.

In June 2020, Bell was diagnosed with ovarian cancer for which she had surgery to remove the tumor that had consumed one of her ovaries.

In December 2021, the cancer returned in her remaining ovary.

Bell began chemotherapy treatments at OSF Infusion Center in Peoria to try to remove the cancer for good.

This will be the group’s 17th run and the second under organizer Tom Brummel. Brummel’s father, Ken Brummel, ran the event for 15 years and saw it as a great way to help members of the community who needed some extra help.

Participants in the event will

depart from Manlius and travel to small businesses and taverns across Bureau County before returning to Manlius to finish up the day.

The event will feature a turkey dinner, an auction and a 50/50 raffle with proceeds benefiting Bell.

The cost for the run will be $20 a person and sign-ups are being taken at Beulah’s Tavern in Manlius.

The first vehicle out will be at 11:30 a.m. with the last vehicle in at 6 p.m. Food at the second stop will be courtesy of Huseman Farms of Walnut and K & K Farms of Sheffield.

The Manlius Sportsman’s Club will be hosting a dinner, separate from the ride entry fee, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. with the proceeds also going to Bell’s benefit.

For information on the day’s events, contact Brummel at 815-8784319 or follow the event’s Facebook event page at facebook.com/ events/5735790623104006.

OBITUARIES

5 children while working side by side operating Piccioli’s Grocery store until 1979. The couple moved to Granville in 1998. Dolly served in the Granville Sacred Heart Catholic Church Altar and Rosary Society, Keys Club and the Mark Grade School Mother’s Club. The Mark Mother’s Club was known for making thousands of pounds of tortellini over the years for the Mark Homecoming Celebrations.

In retirement, Dolly became an avid and successful golfer. She won numerous trophies in her “flight” at Edgewood Golf course in McNabb. She continued to drive, both cars and golf balls, until age 97.

Dolly was the matriarch at the heart of a large extended Panizzi family, celebrating and hosting Thanksgiving with her siblings and their children starting in 1949. The Panizzi Family Thanksgiving gathering continues today attended by 50 plus family members with a fifth generation of babies.

Like so many of the “greatest generation” wives and mothers of Mark and surrounding area who grew up in the Great Depression, Dolly was an excellent cook. Her recipes created special dishes like polenta with chicken stew, hand rolled tortellini in homemade broth, spaghetti sauce, pies, her Italian rice custard called Tultha, and Italian sugar cookies called “zuccarines.”

Dolly and Art traveled in retirement,

spending 22 winters in Florida and attending postmaster conventions throughout the United States. Together with a group of five local couples, they toured Italy, visiting their respective home regions “in the old country.”

She continued to spend winters in Florida until she turned 97.

Sarah’s name “Dolly” was put on her as a young child because family and friends said she looked like “a little doll”.

Mrs. Piccioli is survived by three children, daughters Mrs. Rick (Sharon) Stecker of Rothschild, WI, Mrs. Kenji (Janice) Farinelli of Colorado Springs, CO, a son David (Linda Ritter) Piccioli of Springfield, IL and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Janet (Richard) Nickle Piccioli of Champaign, IL. Also surviving are nine grandchildren, three great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Arthur in 2005, a son, Richard in 2008, four brothers, Serfino, John, Arthur and Adolph Jr. and a sister, Mrs. Margaret Panizzi Lorenzini.

The family would like to thank the director of Cabin Livin’ and Vitas Hospice for their kind, compassionate care especially in the last weeks of her life. Memorials may be directed to the Putnam County Community Center in Standard, IL 61363 Online condolences may be made to her family at www.dcfunerals.com

How to submit: Send obituary information to obits@BCRnews.com or call 815-632-2534. Notices are accepted until 5 p.m. for Wednesday’s edition. Obituaries also appear online.

Congressional candidate calls committee OBITUARIES investigating Capitol attack a ‘waste’ of time RUTH W. HAYWARD

By RUSSELL LISSAU

rlissau@dailyherald.com During an online forum Thursday night, all five Republican candidates for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District seat criticized the U.S. House committee investigating last year’s deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Mike Koolidge said there are much more pressing issues in the nation than determining exactly what happened Jan. 6, 2021.

“We waste a lot of time talking about something from so long ago,” said Koolidge, of Rochelle. “We need to move on.”

The others criticized the committee for not having an equal number of Democrats and Republicans or for how the two Republican members – Reps.

Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming – were chosen.

“It’s a sham and a fraud,” candidate James Marter of Oswego said.

The other Republican candidates in the 14th District are Scott Gryder of Oswego, Jack Lombardi of Manhattan and Jaime Milton of Fox River Grove.

The winner of the June 28 GOP primary will face two-term Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood of Naperville.

The almost 90-minute forum was hosted by the League of Women Voters

groups serving Naperville, the Aurora area and DeKalb and moderated by league member Jan Dorner.

In addition to the Capitol siege, Dorner asked the candidates about voting rights, abortion, climate change and other topics.

They all opposed abortion and called for stricter rules and procedures to secure voting. But they stood apart when it came to describing what they consider the most critical national security threats.

Lombardi and Gryder cited cybercrime among their top targets, while Milton said irresponsible spending in Washington is the most critical security danger. Milton also cited the southern border with Mexico as being a critical national security threat; Koolidge cited that as his top security worry.

On the other hand, Marter called President Joe Biden the greatest threat to American security, criticizing his policies on the southern border, the war in Ukraine and other issues.

A video recording of the forum will be published at illinoisvoterguide.org.

Redrawn for the 2022 election, the 14th District encompasses parts of Kane, Will, DeKalb, Kendall, LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties.

Early voting for the primary started Thursday. The general election is Nov. 8.

Born: December 8, 1927 in Mt. Vernon, NY Died: May 17, 2022 in Rockford, IL Ruth W. Hayward, 94, of McNabb passed away Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, Illinois.

Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at Dysart – Cofoid Funeral Chapel, Granville, IL. Service will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 20, 2022 at Immanuel Lutheran Church (County Line). Chaplain Kent Terry will officiate. Burial will be in Granville Cemetery, Granville, Illinois.

Additional visitation will be from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. prior to the service at the church.

Ruth was born on December 8, 1927 in Mt. Vernon, New York to John and Ruth (Baxter) Kellerman.

Ruth devoted her married life to farm living.

She was a life long member of Immanuel

Lutheran Church (County Line) and was a Sunday School teacher for 37 years. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at the church and the Red Hatter’s Club. She was young at heart, enjoyed time spent with her family, shopping, winning at Rummy, and traveling.

She was preceded in death by her parents, 11 siblings, and husbands Ralph Dippel (1977), and Kirby Hayward (2005).

Survivors include one son, Jack (Lori) Dippel of McNabb; two grandchildren, Jared (Beckie) Dippel and Jonelle Dippel; four great grandchildren, Jayden, Michaela, Addison, and Jacob; special niece, JoAnn Shams and her Dubai family; three sisters-in-laws and step granddaughter, Jennifer (Rey) Rojas and two step great grandchildren, Reed and Rylan.

Ruth treasured life and held onto it with grit, grace, and joy. Always living life to the fullest.

Residents of Marshall and Putnam counties can dispose of unwanted agrichemicals for free this year through the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s agricultural pesticide Clean Sweep program.

State program offers free disposal of agrochemicals for Marshall-Putnam residents Shaw Local News Network Residents of Marshall and Putnam counties can dispose of unwanted agrichemicals for free this year through the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s agricultural pesticide Clean Sweep program.

The clean sweep collection has been scheduled for late summer for Fulton, Henderson, Knox, Marshall, Mercer, Peoria, Putnam, Stark, Warren and Woodford counties.

The clean sweep program began in 1990 in Illinois. Since the inception of the program, the department has held 52 collection events throughout the state and collected 626,669 pounds of material from 2,196 participants.

The collection, which rotates among Illinois counties, is open to farmers, retired farmers, nursery owners, private pesticide applicators, structural pest control applicators and landowners who inherited unwanted agricultural pesticides with their property.

Acting Bureau Chief of Environmental Programs Brad Beaver said there are two main reasons to take advantage of the program.

“The department is able to provide the service free of charge thanks to a grant obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” Beaver said. “If individuals were to properly dispose of agrochemicals on their own, it could be expensive. Secondly, the state of Illinois, not the program participant, will assume liability for the proper disposal of all materials collected.”

Participants must register the products they plan to dispose of by July 27. Registration is required to give the waste disposal contractor time to prepare for the different kinds of materials that will need to be handled.

Forms can be obtained either by calling the IDOA Pesticide Hotline at 1-800-641-3934, online or by visiting one of the program sponsors.

Completed forms should be mailed or faxed to the Illinois Department of Agriculture at Clean Sweep Program, Illinois Department of Agriculture, State Fairgrounds, P.O. Box 19281, Springfield, IL 62794-9281. The fax number is 217-524-4882.

Participants will be sent a reservation card indicating the date, time and location of their collection.

Putnam County builds 6-1 lead before regional final suspended

By DON BALDIN

For Shaw Local News Network The Putnam County and Yorkville Christian baseball teams faced off Saturday morning with the Class 1A Somonauk Regional title on the line, but one of the main factors was the weather.

The game was pushed forward an hour, and the grounds crew did an honorable job to get the field ready for play, but in the end, Mother Nature won out in the bottom of the fourth. With the Panthers holding a 6-1 lead, the skies opened up and the game was suspended until Monday.

The action on the field was just as sporadic. Panthers hurler Drake Smith started the game by hitting leadoff man Bryce Edwards, who was promptly thrown out trying to steal by PC catcher Nicholas Currie for the first out.

Trey Lambardo singled for the Mustangs, but that was all the offense for the inning.

In the bottom half of the frame, Andrew Pyszka launched a 3-1 fastball over the left-field fence to start the inning and stake the Panthers to an electrifying 1-0 lead.

After a pair of Mustangs errors, PC’s Chris Uzella drove home a pair of runs with a single off Mustangs pitcher Nolan Hooper and Putnam County led 3-0 after one frame.

In the second inning, both teams were retired in order before the Mustangs mounted their best inning of the game in the third.

With two outs, Edwards coaxed a walk that was followed by consecutive singles by Lambardo and Andrew Fox with the latter driving in the first Mustangs run.

Drake Smith and the Putnam County Panthers will resume their game Monday against Yorkville Christian for a regional championship.

With two out and runners on first and second, Blake Salek hit a smash ticketed for the left-field corner, but PC third baseman Troy Petty flagged it down and won the foot race to the bag to squelch the rally and the game moved to the bottom of the third with PC clinging to a 3-1 advantage.

The Panthers added to their lead in the third. Currie walked before Austin Mattingly smashed a triple to right-center. Mattingly came home on a wild pitch to make the score 5-1 after three

PC grad Luke Olson named First Team All-Conference and All Region

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS

khieronymus@bcrnews.com DANVILLE – Luke Olson, a sophomore pitcher for Danville Area Community College, was named First Team All-Conference in the Midwest Athletic Conference.

Olson, a 2020 Putnam County graduate, also was named to the All-Region Team.

The right-hander posted a 6-5 record

in 12 appearances (11 starts) for the Jaguars (20-25) with a 2.72 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 721/3 innings.

Olson will be pitching for Division I Ohio University next year.

Fellow Putnam County product Luke Carlson also pitched for the Jaguars, posting a 3-3 record in 11 appearances (8 starts).

The PC tandem were the winning pitchers for Danville in a doubleheader sweep over Vincennes this season.

innings.

The rain began to fall as the game moved to the fourth. The Mustangs went down in order and the Panthers looked to widen the gap. With one out, Pyszka started things with a hustle double before the Panthers worked three straight walks to score a run.

With the bases loaded and one out, the clouds opened up.

The grounds crew did what it could, but the field was deemed unplayable as rain continued to fall.

Other area postseason contests also were postponed.

The Class 1A St. Bede softball regional final between the host Bruins and Putnam County, the Class 2A Princeton baseball regional championship between Bureau Valley and Erie-Prophetstown, the Class 1A Wethersfield baseball regional between Henry-Senachwine and AnnawanWethersfield and the Class 1A Ottawa boys tennis sectional all were postponed to Monday.
