IVCC awards more scholarships, sees rise in enrollment
Board reviews budget as aid, enrollment grows
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
More Illinois Valley Community College students received assistance to pay their education costs this year and more scholarships became available to help cover their expenses, IVCC President Tracy Morris reported to the College Board of Trustees on Tuesday, according to a news release.
Almost 60% of students who applied received an award. As the number of recipients grows, so does the generosity behind creating scholarships.
“The IVCC Foundation awarded
327 scholarships worth $377,000 this year compared to 275 scholarships last year, which amounted to close to $50,000 more in scholarships. That is fantastic news,” Morris said in a news release.
Morris also reported the latest fall enrollment figures, with nearly one month left before classes begin. The number of students taking classes is up 4.91% compared to last year’s head count at this point and those students have enrolled in 5.34% more credit hours. The figures reflect increases in most areas, including traditional, online and dual credit enrollment.
The board also approved a tentative budget, which includes $42.7 million in revenue and $46.9 million in expenditures, and scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 19.
The budget reflects a 3.1% increase in revenue over fiscal 2025 due to the rise in
property tax revenue, tuition and fees and investment income and a 4.2% increase in expenses, due mainly to inflation, insurance rate increases and technology purchases.
The document was placed on file July 16 and is available for public inspection through Aug. 19 in the College Business Office, Room C-338, during normal business hours, or on the college website at ivcc.edu/businessservices/financial-budgets/FY2026_Tentative_Budget.pdf.
In other action, the board: • Learned that use of the campus food pantry, Eagles Peak, keeps growing. The number of visits to the food pantry jumped nearly 300% in the last year, and the pantry is supplying more household occupants and more children in those households.

Carus Summer Science Camp wraps up its 23rd year
By MARIBETH M. WILSON mwilson@shawmedia.com
The 2025 Carus Summer Science Camp concluded Friday with a graduation ceremony at Saint Bede Academy, Carus said in a news release.
Now in its 23rd year, the free, week-long camp welcomed a new class of sixthgrade students from across the Illinois Valley – bringing the total number of graduates since 2001 to 652, according to a news release.
The camp was led by instructor Dan Fitzpatrick, a science teacher at Saint Bede Academy and co-instructor Angelique Depenbrock of LaSalle-Peru Township High School.
Carus retiree Ken Pisarczyk returned for another year, generously sharing his expertise and enthusiasm as a volunteer mentor, the news release said. This year’s campers dove into a packed schedule of activities
designed to foster a lifelong interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Students explored chemical reactions, participated in interactive lessons, and launched their rockets to cap off the week.
Throughout the week, attendees took part in multiple activities, including a tour of the local water treatment facility, a guided excursion on the I&M Canal Boat in La Salle, a tour of the Hegeler-Carus Mansion and performed interactive experiments.
“At Carus, we believe that hands-on science education is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape the future,”
Carus senior communications manager Jake Kowalczyk said in a news release. “This camp gives students the freedom to experiment, explore, and imagine – all under the guidance of passionate educators and volunteers who truly care.”

SUMMER VOLLEYBALL
PC girls help Lions Jrs Starved Rock
16 Red take top-5 finish at nationals
By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com
Players from around the Illinois Valley, including Putnam County’s Sarah Weisbrock and Myah Richardson, teamed up on the Lions Jrs Starved Rock 16 Red club team to compete in the prestigious AAU Nationals Volleyball Tournament in June in Orlando, Florida.
Competing against top teams from across the country and beyond, the girls delivered an outstanding performance, finishing fifth out of 151 teams in their division.
The Lions Jrs Starved Rock 16 Red roster includes players from several area high schools, including Kaitlyn Coutts of Hall; Kijah Lucas of St.
Bede; Bella Knoll, Meredith Waldron and Savannah Markey of Ottawa; Payton Harden of Princeton; and Maggie Boudreau of La Salle-Peru.
Lucas was selected to the All-American Team.
The team started strong on Day 1, going 2-1 in pool play and finishing first in its group.
The momentum continued into Day 2, with the team sweeping all three matches to retake first place in its pool.
On Day 3, the team went 2-1, once again topping the pool and earning a spot in an additional challenge match, which it won to advance to the highly competitive gold bracket.
On the final day of play, the team went 1-1, securing fifth place.

Top games to watch week by week
By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com
With the IHSA releasing the state’s football schedules on Friday, here are the top games to watch in the area for the 2025 season.
Week 1: Bureau Valley (4-5) at St. Bede (2-7), 7 p.m. Aug. 29
In the matchup of former Three Rivers Conference foes, either St. Bede’s Jack Brady or Bureau Valley’s Patrick Elder will earn their first win in their new position. For Brady, it would be his first win as a head coach as he takes over at his alma mater after nine years as an assistant. Elder has been the head coach at four other schools.
Honorable mention: La Salle-Peru (3-6) at United Township (4-5), 6:45 p.m., Aug. 29: The JJ Raffelson era begins at L-P with a winnable game. The Cavs have won 14 straight against the Panthers, including 18-16 last fall.
The Tigers don’t get challenged much in the regular season in recent years, but the Rockets could be an early test in the Three Rivers crossover. Last season, Princeton beat Rockridge 27-18 on the road on the way to a 10-2 record and a Class 3A quarterfinal appearance.
Week 3: Hall-Putnam County (2-7) at Mendota (0-9), 7 p.m., Sept. 12
The rivalry enters a new chapter as both teams have a new coach. Alumnus Nick Sterling takes over at Hall, while former St. Bede coach Jim Eustice moves into the same role at Mendota. The Red Devils have won the past three meetings.
Princeton-Kewanee is one of the state’s oldest rivalries, having been played 126 times. In recent years, the matchup usually plays a pivotal role in deciding the Three Rivers Mississippi. The teams tied for the title in 2021. In 2023, 2022 and 2019, Princeton won and Kewanee placed second.
The Tigers will look to avenge their lone regular-season loss from last season – 31-3 at Mon-Rose in Week 5 – that ended Princeton’s streak of five consecutive Three Rivers Mississippi Division championships.
Week 6: Ottawa (1-8) at La Salle-Peru (3-6), 7 p.m., Oct. 3
After a Week 3 nonconference game in Ottawa, the Cavaliers and Pirates will meet in an Interstate 8 Conference game at Howard Fellows Stadium. L-P has won the past 11 games in the rivalry, which has been played 126 times, including 33-0 and 14-7 wins last fall.
Honorable mention: Dwight (8-4) at St. Bede (2-7), 1 p.m., Oct. 4: The Bruins’ homecoming game should be a good one if history repeats itself. Both meetings between the teams since they joined the Chicagoland Prairie Conference have been decided by three points or fewer.
Week 7: Illini West (6-4) at Bureau Valley (4-5), 7 p.m., Oct. 10
The Storm haven’t made the playoffs since 2016 but have been on the cusp the last two years, going 4-5. Bureau Valley’s game against Illini West is potentially a loss the Storm could flip into a win to help end the postseason drought.
Last year, the Red Devils played playoff spoiler for the Rams with a thrilling, back-and-forth 35-32 victory in Spring Valley.
Week 9: O’Fallon (2-7) at La Salle-Peru (3-6), 7 p.m. Oct. 24
Looking at L-P’s schedule, the Cavaliers have several likely wins and multiple likely losses based on historical results, leaving a handful of swing games, including the regular-season finale against O’Fallon. A win against O’Fallon could be the difference in L-P making the playoffs or not.
