Reed will not run again for Bureau County sheriff Sheriff slams lawmakers for ‘failing’ to protect citizens By TOM COLLINS
tcollins@shawmedia.com Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed said in a Friday news release that he will not seek a fourth term of office. Reed said one of the biggest reasons he’s not seeking reelection is “the burden the State of Illinois has put on law enforcement and the laws legislators have passed failing to protect the victims of crime, including law enforcement officers them-
selves,” including the SAFE-T Act. “I believe the legislation passed in Illinois endangers the safety of our citizens and the officers who serve and protect us,” Reed said. Reed further noted two close colleagues, Chief Deputy Bret Taylor and Lt. Becky Gosch, have advised him they plan to retire next year, and “I will miss their guidance.” “While it is difficult to leave a career you have grown to love,” he said, “I feel the time is right both personally and professionally. I know in my heart it’s time for the next generation in leadership to take over and serve the citizens of our county.”

Seasons come and seasons go on their own timeline Every year, I am more and more impressed with the range of Mother Nature’s expressive voice. Through every season, she sings different songs, and if we listen closely, those songs can inform the cycles of our soul’s internal seasons as we move through life. In winter, Mother Nature is silent. Only those with eyes to see and ears to hear can recognize her in the barren landscape with its cold and snow, while everything else hibernates and rests. Just as nature grows quiet in the winter, so is it a cosmically blessed opportunity for our souls to be still and listen for the gentle guidance of the holy one in our toned-down lives. In spring, her maiden voice incarnates in the new buds opening into blossoms and new life born in the animal kingdom. As the season progresses, the world comes alive after the cold, dark winter with a colorful palette of floral beauty. So, too, do our spirits come alive in ways we had previously not expected. Each new spring is a rebirth for the world and for all who live here.
SPIRIT MATTERS Jerrilyn Zavada Novak In the summer, Mother Nature is in full-on flaunt mode. Everything is green and growing, verdant and lush. Think old-school Whitney Houston with her full, majestic voice. In summertime, nature is queen. Life is easy – or at least easier than usual. Days are long, and most of us are more active. Maybe our reflective lives take a bit of a back seat as the summer sun pulls us out into the world. Now we are midway through autumn, and this season is a master class in letting go of who we think we are. Mother Nature’s voice in early autumn is at its most brilliant. The colors inspire awe and reflection. But then the leaves fall, the temperatures drop, and all of life begins to withdraw into rest.
From Royalty to Reality:Princess Diana's Journey of Empathy Presented by Michelle Gibbons At the PCCC Tuesday, November 18, 2025, @ 12:30 pm Even decades after her passing, Lady Diana Spencer, the People's Princess, remains an icon of grace, compassion, and timeless elegance. From her enchanting royal wed-ding to Prince Charles in 1981, witnessed by over 750 million people worldwide, to her philanthropic endeavors and unwavering dedication to her family, Diana captivated the hearts across the globe. Through Michelle's portrayal, you will delve into Diana's remarkable journey—from her noble charity work and royal duties under the watchful eye of Queen Elizabeth II, to her profound love for her children, and the enduring legacy she left behind.

Every season is an expression of God’s intellect and creativity, but to me, autumn most signifies the wisdom that comes from allowing ourselves to shed the old narratives we have lived. In autumn, we are asked to let go of the safety we have found in living a certain way and withdraw into a more contemplative way of life, allowing the holy spirit to quietly go to work on us in the depths of our souls. While the holy spirit works in silence, we often don’t know what is taking place. We might feel lost and in a liminal space. Autumn asks us to trust that even in the loss and letting go, new life in a new form will be waiting for us on the other side. Sometimes the autumns and winters in our souls seem to go on forever. We get restless, wondering if the best of our lives is behind us, wondering if we will ever feel fully alive or purposeful again. These barren seasons of the spirit can be excruciating. Just as we are on the brink of despair, however, something seems to
soften. A new little bud appears in the story of our lives, and all of those long, dark nights of the soul when the holy one was working deep in the background of our lives begin to reveal their meaning. I have been in one of these autumn/winter periods for a long time now, no longer feeling comfortable in the past spring and summer I lived but not knowing for sure what creative form the future holds. In the meantime, I have been trying to force various projects that just haven’t taken root. I don’t think my experience is unusual for those of us in midlife. We are in a liminal space. Our task is not to do, but to be. And so, we wait for the first light tune of spring, knowing she always arrives in our lives exactly when she is supposed to arrive.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL – WASHINGTON SUPERSECTIONAL: WASHINGTON DEF. LA SALLE-PERU 13-25, 25-18, 25-17
L-P dominates first set, but loses to Washington in sectional final By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com The La Salle-Peru volleyball team came out firing on all cylinders in the Class 3A La Salle-Peru Sectional championship. The Cavaliers raced to an early 10-point lead in the first set and won it by 12 points. But L-P couldn’t keep its momentum. Washington made adjustments, and led by University of Iowa commit Carly Dawson, the Panthers rallied to beat the Cavs 13-25, 25-18, 25-17. “The first set, we were just really excited,” L-P junior Aubrey Duttlinger said. “We played really loose. I think that’s something we struggled with in the next two sets. “But I’m really proud of my team. The outcome wasn’t what we wanted, but I think we played as hard as we possibly could.” Washington (23-14) punched its ticket back home to the Washington Supersectional to face Providence (336). “We came out on fire,” L-P coach Mark Haberkorn said. “That’s the best we played all year. Everything and anything went our way. Whatever we wanted to do, it seemed like everything worked. They panicked a little bit, and we just continued to sail. “Sets two and three, it was almost a complete turnaround. They played a lot better. They got more aggressive. They had us running here and running there and we couldn’t get into our offense as much. We blocked very well in set one, but the rest of the night our blocking wasn’t as effective. “We fought, but we just didn’t play to the level we did in set one.” The Cavs grabbed the momentum early and got the big L-P crowd going as Kelsey Frederick put down back-toback kills – the second coming on a freeball – and Duttlinger slamming one down after Karmen Piano saved the ball to give L-P a 4-1 lead and causing the Panthers to call timeout. The break did little to slow down the Cavs, as they pushed the lead out to 14-3

The Cavs led by double digits the rest of the way and ended the set with a kill by Duttlinger. “I like to say, ‘Memory like a goldfish.’ Just that next play mentality,” Duttlinger said about the first set. “We didn’t let them go on long runs like we did in the next two sets. I think that was a real big advantage.” In the second set, the Panthers took the lead at 4-3 on a tip by Haley Ashley and led the rest of the way before an L-P service error ended it. The decisive third set was tight early with ties at 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 and neither team leading by more than three points. Washington took the lead on a kill by Jenna Aeschliman before a throw to the corner by Dawson and an ace by Aeschliman led Haberkorn to call timeout trailing 12-9. Then Dawson took over. After a tip by Frederick and an L-P service error, the 6-foot-2 junior had a
block and three straight kills to push the Panthers’ lead to 17-10. Dawson finished with 18 kills. “We blocked her the first set,” Haberkorn said. “Then she took her game to another level. Set two they put her in a different spot. Set three we countered with Drew [Depenbrock] to block her and maybe slowed her down, but we couldn’t control her like we did in set one.” The Cavs rallied within five at 19-14, but couldn’t get any closer. “They definitely adjusted to where we were,” Duttlinger said. “We tried to move around that adjustment, but they adjusted again. They have big hitters and scrappy defense.” Duttlinger had a huge night for L-P, as she put down a match-high 19 kills to go along with eight digs and a block. Frederick had nine kills, Anna Riva had 13 points and 13 digs, Emma Jereb put up 17 assists and had eight digs, Urbanski served 18 points and had eight assists, and Piano contributed 12 digs.
“[Duttlinger] played well the second half of the season,” Haberkorn said. “She played like this every match. She got a lot of sets tonight, and she answered with big kills. That’s what we expected.” L-P finishes the season 32-6 for the 16th 30-win season in Haberkorn’s tenure. Five of the six losses came to 3A regional champions, including sectional champions Washington and Providence, with the sixth loss against Limestone (34-3). “We had a great season,” Haberkorn said. “Every match we lost was against a quality opponent. We tied for the conference again. We have a lot to be proud of.” The loss ended the careers of seniors Frederick, Jereb, Depenbrock, Riva, Piano, McKenzie Krzyaniak, Sophia Pyszka and Brileigh Holland. “Our seniors really are going to be missed,” Haberkorn said. “They were great role models. The chemistry on this team was unbelievable.”

Peoria Notre Dame rallies to defeat Princeton
PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD Putnam County Record / shawlocal.com/putnam-county-record • Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Tigresses win Game 1 and led 18-14 in Game 3, but they couldn’t hang on By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com Coach Andy Puck and his Princeton Tigresses were fighting to “Stay Alive in 25” in Tuesday’s Class 2A Riverdale Sectional semifinal. They took that battle cry deep into the third set while leading 18-14 over Peoria Notre Dame. The Irish rallied to tie the game at 18 and scored the final three points to win the match in a come-from-behind 16-25, 25-16, 25-22 victory, and they advance to Thursday’s sectional final against host Riverdale. What made the loss sting even more was that it was there for the Tigresses’ taking. “On the way over, I was thinking, ‘Just stay alive in 25,’ ” Puck said. “We just weren’t able to at the end. We’re better than that. We know that. But you’ve got to give Notre Dame a ton of credit. Just took us out of our comfort zone.” “We had chances. We just didn’t execute in the right way that I know we can. We should have won that game,” senior Keely Lawson said. “There’s nothing we can do about it now. It was a good rally. We didn’t make the blocks. They were just finding the holes, really, where we weren’t.” The Tigresses jumped out to leads of 6-1 and 10-3 in Game 3. Notre Dame charged back with a 6-0 run to close within 10-9 and tied it at 13. Caroline Keutzer served for an ace to put Princeton up 15-14. After the Irish sided out, the Tigresses ran off three straight points, including an ace by junior reserve Madie Gibson, who proved to be a secret weapon with seven points filling in for libero Camryn Driscoll, who had a shoulder injury. The Irish returned the favor with a 5-0 run and appeared to score a sixth, but the officials called for a replay when a Notre Dame assistant coach was hit with a yellow card. Princeton came back with the point instead to tie the game at 19. A kill by Keutzer tied it at 21 and an ace by Keighley Davis tied it back up at 22.
The Tigresses would not score again, however, as the Irish made off with the 25-22 winner. “Just got very inconsistent in a lot of areas. Think we got a little too antsy,” Puck said. “Then they made a little run. They were calm and pretty cool, and we were the ones on our heels, not wanting to make an error, make a mistake. If you’re playing that way, it’s got to stop really quick. We gave ourselves chances to win, we just didn’t give ourselves enough chances.” Senior setter Makayla Hecht said the Tigresses did well to bounce back from the game 2 loss. “We definitely had to reach down and reset and try to pull it back,” she said. Lawson said it was a great season for the Tigresses, accomplishing their goal of winning regionals. “This team is special. That’s about all I can really say about it,” Lawson said. “We went out the way we wanted to go out. We wanted to make history. We won the regional that we wanted. There’s nothing more than we can ask for.” Princeton came out of the blocks fast in Game 1, outscoring the Irish 8-3 to take a 17-11 lead. Hits by Davis, Keutzer and Danika Burden, and three service points by Lawson pushed the Tigresses’ lead to 21-14. Keutzer made a deep push and a kill, and Lawson dug up game point for a 25-16 win. Notre Dame turned the momentum around in Game 2, jumping out to leads of 6-1, 10-3 and 17-8. The Tigresses sided out and got an ace by Keutzer and a block by Maciczak to close within 17-11. Lawson hit for a couple of sideouts to make it 19-13. An ace by Lawson pulled the Tigresses within 22-15, but they got no closer, falling 25-16. The Tigresses bow out at 21-15-1, falling in the sectional semifinals for the second time in four years. Lawson led the Tigresses with 11 kills, with Keutzer and Davis adding eight each. Ava Kyle and Davis each had 10 points, Lawson added nine points and two aces and Maciczak eight points and two aces. Also for PHS, Driscoll had 12 digs, and Hecht had 25 assists. The Irish (25-12) will meet Riverdale Mike Vaughn for Shaw Local News Network (24-10-1) at 6 p.m. Thursday in the sectional final. The Rams beat Eureka 2-0 Princeton’s Kathy Maciczak spikes the ball against Peoria Notre Dame in a Class 2A Riverdale Sectional semifinal Tuesday in Riverdale. in Tuesday’s first semifinal.
