County hopes to fill open zoning commissioner job

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com Putnam County residents hoping for a final County Board resolution regarding future wind farms will have to wait, as the board approved an extension to the ongoing temporary moratorium until Dec. 12.

This action puts a halt on any zoning petitions or further development of wind farms to allow for further studies and resolutions to concerns expressed by Putnam County citizens.

“We want to make sure that any projects coming in or applications for these projects come in after we have our zoning in order,” Board Chairman Charles Lenkaitis said. “This includes any future projects that may follow.”

came open after a staff retirement in April, leaving an important role to fill in the county.

“It takes a special person to fill that role,” Lenkaitis said. “You have to be community facing and there’s so much to do. We require our commissioner to also be the building inspector. Those folks just don’t grow on trees.”

The moratorium doesn’t allow or deny the construction of solar farms in the county, but rather puts a hold on any current or future applications for such projects until the specifications can be worked out.

This action will give the board and the county residents a chance to gather further information and discuss the future of wind farms in Putnam County.

“We want to make sure that these are not only safe, but that they look respectable,” Lenkaitis said. “We want it to be something that, if it does come, we can be proud of.”

IVCC hosts program to help incoming college students Shaw Local News Network A new short-term program designed to help incoming college students adjust to college and thrive on campus will launch this summer at Illinois Valley Community College.

The summer bridge program, “Get Set,” provides “a quick burst of intense support” to boost learning and coping strategies, academic skills, familiarity with campus technology and connect to academic and social resources.

The free program is open to new high school graduates and adults coming to IVCC for the first time or returning to classes after time away.

In March, the board voted unanimously to extend the moratorium through Sept. 20 of this year; before deciding to extend it now through the end of the year.

This decision to extend came as a result of concerns raised through public comment during the board’s monthly meetings, county officials’ research and the hopes of filling the county’s position of zoning commissioner before a final decision is made.

Monday’s meeting, once again, conducted presentations of citizens concerned about possible future projects.

“I think the biggest thing this move does is it gives us time to find someone to fill that zoning commissioner spot,” Lenkaitis said. “Then we can work with the zoning board to come up with an improvement to our zoning in regards to these decisions.

So we can make sure that Putnam County residents will be safe.”

“If you’re ready for college, great. If you’re ready to go but want some support as you start, Get Set might be for you,” said Tina Hardy, who will coordinate and teach the program.

“Readiness for college isn’t just about academics. It’s about knowing college lingo, processes and resources. It’s about a meaningful connection to people and knowing how to manage yourself, your time and your tasks when college isn’t the only important aspect of your life,” Hardy said.

Classes begin July 25 and are offered in-person in morning or evening sessions. Morning classes meet 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 25 to 29; night classes meet 5 to

Restaurant reviews

Lively dining inside or out at Skoog’s Pub & Grill Few business owners will look back fondly on the novel coronavirus pandemic, but Skoog’s Pub & Grill in Utica is notable for creatively adapting to embrace health protocols.

Long a mainstay along Utica’s tourist-friendly Mill Street, Skoog’s boasted a standard interior – the typical long bar with televisions, a jukebox and other staples – until infection controls prompted ownership to rethink its service area and make imaginative improvements.

Skoog’s acquired a neighboring property and expanded, so diners can choose between the bar and an airy dining room. During favorable weather, patrons also can dine outside.

The village of Utica cordoned off Mill Street during warm-weather months to create a kind of dining pavilion. This enabled restaurants to serve patrons when indoor dining was either restricted or fully off-limits because of COVID-19.

Outdoor dining proved to be a big hit in Utica – the village board extended it several years – and now is a feature of the Skoog’s experience. A portable host stand is stationed at the door for indoor and outdoor dining, and there are tables with umbrellas in the proximate portion of Mill Street.

The menu is favorite pub fare – fried chicken, burgers, tortellini – with weekly specials including tacos (Tues-

day), wings (Wednesday) and ribs (Thursday and Saturday). The wings are offered breaded or unbreaded, with a wide choice of sauces including the house-made kamikaze and a showcased flavor of the month.

Burger fans will note the Hearty Skoog Burger features a three-quarterpound, specially seasoned patty that is fresh and never frozen. The pasta offerings highlight the homemade meat sauce as a special favorite.

The Mystery Diner ordered the Friday fish plate, which consists of deepfried blue gill, fries and slaw, accompa-

nied by lemonade. We had fine service, and the meal was generously portioned, with enough to split. My dining companion, however, opted for the cod.

Both entrees came with a good-sized green salad and choice of dressing. The menu notes the house dressing is the homemade creamy garlic.

Skoog’s provides outdoor music from a loudspeaker mounted on the west wall; do know that the volume is relatively high near it, if you’re looking for a more quiet spot to converse.

Hours of operations are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday; 11 a.m. to 2

p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday; and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For a sweet flourish to cap a meal, Skoog’s offers a dessert selection of tempting cheesecakes.

4-H wraps up Crime and Spy camp for local youth U of I Extension – Bureau, La Salle, Marshall, Putnam Unit Office hosted the event Shaw Local News Network Attention to detail, patience and accuracy were common themes throughout the recently completed 4-H Crime and Spy camp, which was conducted from June 6-9.

During the four-day camp, youth ages 8-18 heard from Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigators on topics related to their jobs.

These topics were translated into hands-on activities in fingerprinting, hidden messages, DNA extraction and evidence collection.

During the final day of camp, participants broke into groups to process one of four crime scenes where they were able to apply the lessons they had learned over the course of the camp. Through teamwork, each group photographed the scenes, logged and packaged evidence and dusted for fingerprints.

“The results of Crime and Spy camp exceeded my expectations,” said Danielle Gapinski, Bureau

County 4-H program coordinator.

“We were able to witness participants form new friendships, work collaboratively, and even had some grow a genuine interest and excitement for learning more about becoming a CSI. This is why we do what we do, providing youth with a nurturing, safe environment to explore interests.”

The mission of University of Illinois Extension is to provide practical education to help people, businesses and communities solve problems, develop skills and build a better future.

University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. For information, visit extension.illinois.edu/ blmp.

For questions or information, call University of Illinois Extension – Bureau, La Salle, Marshall, Putnam Unit Office at 815-875-2878.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, indicate when registering or contact the Extension office. Extension offices are located in Princeton, Ottawa, Henry and in Oglesby on the IVCC campus.

NEWS BRIEFS Marshall-Putnam Fair to hold Senior’s Day on July 14

The Marshall-Putnam Fair will offer a Senior’s Day that will include free admission, refreshments and music from the Henry Torpedo Boys from 9 to 11 a.m.

Thursday, July 14, in the Hunt Building.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. where seniors will be greeted by local officials and Rotary Club members of the two counties.

Retired Marshall-Putnam Judges Mike McCuskey and Scott Shore will emcee the event, with many donated door prizes for those older than 65 and a guest appearance of the Fair Royalty.

The Henry Torpedo Boys includes Terry Feldott on banjo and guitar, Rich Selquist on dobro, Dave “Barney” Erickson on mandolin, fiddle and guitar; Tom Bogner on bass and Todd Witek on guitar.

The group treats audiences to a mixture of bluegrass, new grass and a little bit of country. Bogner said the group is looking forward to performing for seniors and is hoping for a record turnout.

Seniors in Bureau and Putnam counties needing transportation to the fairgrounds may call BPART at 877-874-8813 or Marshall-Stark Transportation at 309-3642287 as soon as possible to be added to the transportation schedule.

The Putnam County Community Center also will help coordinate transportation to the fairgrounds.

Livestock families seek donations for Marshall-Putnam swine barn A small committee of livestock families are interested in preserving the original

hog barn on the Marshall-Putnam Fairgrounds.

After presenting concerns to the Marshall-Putnam Fair Board, the group, in conjunction with the fair board, are seeking donations from the public.

Volunteers, grants and donations helped remove and replace the roof of the 4-H hog barn in 2019. Now the original hog barn is in need of major repairs.

The swine department is one of the largest at the County Fair and provides an opportunity for families to exhibit their hogs.

“We know many of you have great memories of your time at your county fair,” A letter to Friends of the Marshall-Putnam Fair stated. “Here’s an opportunity for you to help support the fair with this historical project so future generations can also create memories of their own.”

Donations to the project will be honored on the hog barn as Grand Champion Friends for donations more than $3,000, Champion Friend for donations between $1,000 and $2,999 and Reserve Champion Friend for donations under $1,000.

Checks can be made payable to the Marshall-Putnam Fair. For information on how to donate, call Kennedi at 815-9922572 or Darla at 309-251-0838.

Bureau County WorkCamp begins June 26 in Princeton

Starting June 26, Princeton will play host to 250 young adults for the 2022 Bureau County WorkCamp. These individuals will participate in construction projects, painting and other necessary projects to enhance the homes of those selected.

This camp is part of Group Mission Trips and is an international Christian Fellowship Group which has volunteers come to a community and refurbish homes for senior citizens, many of whom cannot afford to have a local construction company come and do the work.

The homes are chosen after the owners have been interviewed by representatives of Group Mission Trips.

Each of the 250 young adults have also paid $500 of their own money to come and participate in this work which is similar to other service organizations.

Local area churches and businesses contribute money for the materials, food for the workers and lodging.

Rod Benevitz and John Reinhardt are the local leaders directing the projects.

Anyone looking to donate something is asked to contact them.

Shaw Local News Network Illinois 4-H members showed a steady hand as they competed for top honors in the annual Summer Sizzle Shoot on June 4 at the Chillicothe Sportsman’s Club.

Nearly 75 youth from nine counties participated in the Illinois 4-H shooting sports contest, organized by 4-H volunteers in La Salle, Marshall and Putnam counties.

“These young people continue to practice and build their shooting sports skill as they also learn to cooperate and work together,” said Anne Scheel, University of Illinois Extension 4-H program coordinator for Marshall-Putnam counties. “Shooting sports teaches patience, resiliency, focus and determination.”

Youth interested in joining the 4-H program may contact Scheel at 309364-2356.

Total Trihalomethanes MCL Template IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Village of Mark Has Levels of Total Trihalomethanes Above Drinking Water Standards Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.

We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on 12/6/2021 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs). The standard for TTHMs is 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The average level of TTHMs over the last year was 0.098 MG/L and 0.088 MG/L. What should I do?

• You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply.

However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.

What does this mean?

This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately.

However, some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

What happened? What is being done?

We have flushed the system and are doing an engineering evaluation.

Shaw Local News Network Putnam County has been issued a tentative property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier”, is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law.

The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the sales price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor.

State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland and farm buildings assessed according to standards based on productivity.

If this three-year average level of assessment is one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one, and if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one.

Assessments in Putnam County are at

32.88% of market value, based on sales of properties in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2022 taxes, payable in 2023. Last year’s equalization factor for the county also was 1.0000.

The tentative factor is subject to change if the County Board of Review takes actions which significantly affect the county assessments or if local officials or others can present data showing that the Department of Revenue’s estimates of the average level of assessments in the county should be adjusted.

A public hearing on the tentative multiplier will be between 20 and 30 days after the tentative factor is published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county.

A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens.

If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments may have increased.

The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

New law expands student access to high school dual-credit courses in Illinois Shaw Local News Network More high school students can receive high school credits from a dual-credit program thanks to legislation recently signed into law.

House Bill 5506, sponsored by Senate Republican Deputy Minority Leader Sue Rezin (R-Morris), amends the state’s Dual Credit Quality Act. Previously, students who did not meet a community college’s eligibility requirements were barred from enrolling in dual-credit courses offered through a partnership agreement between a community college and a school district. The updated act will allow those students to enroll in the course for high school credit but not college credit.

High schools are required to establish procedures to notify students enrolled in dual credit courses if they are eligible for both college and high school credits or limited to high school credit.

“This law will create more opportunities for high school students to gain access to academic courses and credits that were previously unavail-

able to them,” Rezin said. “Students interested in courses that are part of a dual-credit program will no longer be turned away just because they might not qualify for the college credit for whatever reason, which in turn will hopefully lead to more course offerings.”

The legislation requires school districts and community colleges to make annual assessments of disaggregated data pertaining to the dualcredit enrollment, completion, subsequent post-secondary enrollment and performance. Additionally, institutions shall notify its faculty within 15 days of entering or renewing a partnership agreement.

“While expanding academic opportunities for high school students in Illinois, our state will be able to gather additional data on these dual-credit programs,” Rezin said. “This additional information will help our state ensure that these programs continue to meet our students’ academic needs.”

House Bill 5506 passed both chambers without opposition and was signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker on June 10.

Andrew Pyszka named IHSBCA All-State

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS

khieronymus@bcrnews.com Putnam County junior shortstop Andrew Pyszka was named to the 18-player Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Class 1A All-State Team.

Pyszka helped the Panthers to a 27-9 record, a regional championship and a sectional final appearance.

He hit .512 with five home runs, two triples, 16 doubles, Andrew Pyszka 63 runs and 30 RBIs.

All-State softball

Eight area softball players were named Illinois Coaches Association All-State for their play this season.

In Class 3A, La Salle-Peru senior catcher Paige Kirkman and senior third baseman Maddy Pangrcic were voted to the second team, while junior outfielder Taylor Martyn was named to the third team.

Kirkman hit .519 with 12 doubles, three home runs, 37 RBIs and 25 runs, while Pangrcic hit .511 with 15 doubles, four home runs, one triple, 35 RBIs and 34 runs. Martyn hit .454 with eight doubles, two triples, 41 runs and 24 RBIs. Mendota senior pitcher Paige Manning was named to the third

team in Class 2A. She was 7-10 with a 3.36 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 106 1/3 innings.

In Class 1A, St. Bede senior infielder Ryann Stoudt was selected to the second team, while St. Bede sophomore catcher Bella Pinter, St. Bede junior outfielder Addie Bontz and Earlville senior infielder Elizabeth Browder were voted to the third team.

Stoudt hit .571 with six doubles, two home runs, 28 runs and 14 RBIs, Pinter hit .487 with 10 doubles, five triples, 21 RBIs and 11 runs, Bontz hit .492 with three doubles, three triples, 26 runs and 12 RBIs and Browder hit .468 with 13 doubles, one home run, one triple, 25 RBIs and 20 runs.

Angel in the outfield, All-Star in the infield Hieronymus’ Hypothesis Kevin Hieronymus Mike and Maria Rosploch have their Little Angel in the Outfield.

Now they have an All-Star to go with her in the infield.

Mya Rosploch, 9, of La Salle, attended a USSSA Softball combine in Peoria over the winter and was selected out of hundreds of participants across the country to compete in their national showcase at the Space Coast Complex in Mya Rosploch Viera, Florida, in August.

The announcement came via live announcement show just like the NCAA Tournament selection.

When asked what she thought about the big news Mya just gave it two thumbs up.

“She’s happy, but like a kid, you know when they think of Florida, they think of beaches, hotels, swimming pools,” Mike said with a laugh.

St. Bede softball coach Shawn Sons, who gives Mya hitting lessons, took notice of Mya’s selection, calling it a “pretty special deal.”

Mya is the younger sister of the much beloved Lily, who warmed all our hearts during her three-year battle with stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer, which claimed her life on Jan. 31, 2015, at just 6 years old.

Maria said it warms her heart to see Mya carrying on her sister’s spirit.

“For her city team, she has No. 28, which

represents Lily’s birthday on June 28,” she said. “I’m super proud of her hard work and it’s paying off with these privileges that she gets to go, have some fun and meet some new friends and learn how to continue to fall in love with the game.

“She’s been working hard the past year. She and Michael are at if every day. She’s had great coaches along the way.”

The Rosploch’s experience losing Lily taught them to make every moment matter.

“It will be fun. It’s a good thing for her and we’re able to go and do it,” Mike said. “What we’ve kind of learned as a family is no putting anything off. You take advantage of every opportunity that you can. I know everyone’s always saying, ‘Ah, we can do that again or we can do that later on,’ and things like that. You know what, the world doesn’t always work like that though.”

The city of La Salle has designated June 28 as the annual Lily Rosploch Day to remember and honor her legacy.

Mike said his job is the easiest in the world helping his daughter sharpen her softball skills.

“All I’ve got to do is fill up a bucket with balls and catch a ball. This is easy,” he said.

Mya is keeping plenty busy on the diamond this summer, playing for the Starved Rock Bandits, the Midwest After Shock out of Rockford and locally for the La Salle Little League team.

“She’s made a lot of friends,” Mike said.

As far as positions, Mike said his daughter is playing the field.

“She plays wherever. She’s going to find out at 9 and 10 they play at every position. She’s pitches, she plays third base, right field and

Shrimp’s winning streak ends with one-run loss to CornBelters

By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com The Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp’s winning streak was snapped with a 6-5 loss to the Normal CornBelters on Thursday, June 16, at Schweickert Stadium in Peru.

The Shrimp, who won five games in a row, took a 2-0 lead after two innings as Kevin Parker had an RBI groundout and Zach Lane hit an RBI single in the second, but the CornBelters scored five runs in the third to take a lead they never relinquished.

Normal had seven hits in the third, including four consecutive doubles – three of which drove in a run – followed by back-to-back RBI singles.

The Shrimp closed the gap to 5-3 with an RBI single

by Logan Delgado in the third and pulled to within 5-4 on an RBI double from Luke Adams in the fifth.

The CornBelters added an insurance run in the sixth to go up 6-4.

In the eighth, the Shrimp once again pulled to within a run as Isaiah Hart singled, Jack Johnston walked and Ivan Witt walked to load the bases before Hart scored on a wild pitch.

The Shrimp put two runners on in the bottom of the ninth, but back-to-back strikeouts ended the game.

Adams was 3 for 4 with an RBI for the Shrimp, while Lane, Delgado and Tucker Bougie each had a pair of hits.

Jason Shanner took the loss as he allowed five runs (all earned) on nine hits with five strikeouts and a walk in 31/3 innings.

Ottawa graduate Jared Herzog remained unscored upon this season as he struck out all three batters he faced in a perfect seventh inning.

Pistol Shrimp enjoying comforts of home

By KEVIN CHLUM

kchlum@shawmedia.com The Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp are enjoying the comforts of home at Schweickert Stadium in Peru.

The Shrimp a enjoyed stretch of eight home games out of nine with the lone road game a trip to Lafayette on Saturday, June 11.

“I think being at home is really good for us because we’re not on the road,” infielder Harry Mauterer said. “We’re going to be able to get more sleep. Staying consistent, showing up to the field every day wanting to win, wanting to compete, I think that’s going to be really beneficial for us.”

The Shrimp have a winning record at home, while they were 3-3 on the road.

“It’s really good,” outfielder Isaiah Hart said about the stretch of home games. “It allows us to come in early and get extra swings without having to take long bus trips and being tired before you show up. We have a lot of reasons to keep playing hard and give the fans a show.”

After the home stretch ends with a doubleheader Monday against the Lafayette Aviators, the script will flip with eight of nine games on the road.

LEAGUE’S TOP PITCHING STAFF

Through Tuesday June 14, the Shrimp are leading the Prospect League in team ERA at 3.85.

The Shrimp’s pitching staff has been strong recently, allowing four runs or fewer in five of their past seven games, including back-to-back shutouts against the Clinton LumberKings (5-0) and Normal CornBelters (7-0).

Nick Laxner is fourth in the league in ERA at 2.19.

Ottawa graduate Jared Herzog has a 0.00 ERA but doesn’t have enough innings pitched to qualify for the league leaders.

Other Shrimp pitchers with multiple appearances and sub-2.50 ERAs are Justin Rios (1.69), Noah Schultz (1.69), Daniel Vogt (2.00), Kevin Davis (2.08) and Jason Shanner (2.45).

Herzog and Rios are tied for third in the league in wins, as both are 2-0, while Davis is seventh in strikeouts with 16 in 82/3 innings over three appearances.

The Shrimp are fourth as a team in strikeouts with 120 through 12 games.

CHANGING HIS APPROACH

Hart had a tough season with Purdue-Fort Wayne this spring as he hit .184 (26 for 141) with 13 RBIs and 11 runs.

But so far, his summer with the Shrimp is going well.

In nine games, Hart is hitting .375 (9 for 24) with a .500 on-base percentage, a home run, a double, six runs and five RBIs. “I struggled a lot in the spring,” Hart said. “I think in the spring I was worried about each at-bat trying to get a hit, but when I came this summer, I switched my focus to trying to produce a good at-bat, whether that’s working a walk or making good contact. I think switching focus from stats based to process based has really helped make a difhe said.

Mike has found his daughter to be entertaining around the diamond.

For the first batting practice with Sons, she showed up with her batting gloves on inside out. Another time,

ference in my at-bats.”

Hart came up big in a 10-6 comefrom-behind win over Burlington on Tuesday as he hit a solo home run and had an RBI single as part of a five-run seventh inning.

“I think I really focused on trying to have team at-bats,” Hart said. “I thought about trying to get it done for the team, and a lot of pressure was taken away from me. I think that’s why I was able to come through.”

RELIABLE GLOVES

Mauterer made a couple of tough plays in the June 14 win over Burlington.

In the sixth inning, he made a sliding stop, and although he didn’t have time to make the throw to first, he fired the ball to the plate to get Joey Fitzgerald the coaches were talking to the girls about what kind of pitches they had.

“They asked Mya, do you have another pitch? Mya said, ‘Yeah, a ball,” Mike said with a laugh. “Gives you an idea how precious kids are,”

out. In the seventh, he charged in to field the ball before making a tough throw to first base to get the out.

“I have been happy so far [with my defense],” Mauterer said. “There was that one pop-up [in the seventh inning] I should have caught [in shallow right field near the foul line], but I was able to get him out at second. The pitchers are doing a great job just getting guys to put balls in play and giving the defense an opportunity to make plays.”

Head coach Stefen Henderson has been pleased with the team’s defense, as the Shrimp were errorless in three of their past four games through June 14.

“We’ve been throwing the ball really well,” Henderson said. “Our defense has completely raised the bar. We’ve been making plays behind our pitching.” he said. Very precious.
