Ice boats prepare to race during the 2022 U.S. Nationals DN Ice Yacht Races on Senachwine Lake on Wednesday Jan. 26, near Putnam.
Senachwine Lake hosts U.S. Nationals DN Ice Yacht Races after last-minute relocation Originally scheduled for Madison, Wisconsin, competition moves to Putnam on four days notice By JAYCE EUSTICE
jeustice@shawmedia.com Coordinating and planning a competitive race that is heavily dependent on the weather is never an easy task. Just ask Deb Whitehorse, who was forced to move the U.S. Nationals DN Ice Yacht Races from Madison, Wisconsin, to Putnam, Illinois, on just four days notice. “We took a gamble and there was beautiful ice in Madison, but we knew that there was snow coming,” Whitehorse said. “We thought it was going to be one to three inches and we took a gamble that it would be on the low side.” Competitors began arriving in Madison and were even able to check out the ice on Saturday, Jan. 22, to prepare for the week’s planned event. “Then it snowed overnight going into Sunday,” Whitehorse said. “We got on the high end and may have even gotten more than three inches.” That left the organization searching for Plan B. After exploring past locations and speaking with competitors, the group found itself narrowing in on Senachwine Lake in Putnam to host the national competition. Competitor Pete Johns of Decatur helped bring the organization’s attention to the lake that he spends some time on in the winter. “This freezes early because it’s shallow, but it had a bunch of snow on it this year so I haven’t sailed it yet,” Johns said. “I had a guy drive up here on Sunday and it was perfect.” The organization also sent a group to Putnam on Sunday, Jan. 23, to inspect the ice and see if it would be possible to hold the races at the secluded location. The ice on the lake was given a green light and the racers were notified that the competition would be held in central Illinois. “To go through all this drama of ‘Oh, no, it snowed, what are we going to do?’ and then figuring it out and moving to

the next place can be stressful,” Whitehorse said. Despite the location change, Senachwine Lake was set to host about 70 ice yacht racers over three to four days of competition. While the change may have been last minute, the site isn’t completely unfamiliar to longtime competitors. Lake Senachwine played host to the U.S. National Races in 2011 and was the planned site of another competition a few years before that was snowed out. “We’re really delighted to be here and we feel really lucky,” Whitehorse said. “We were pushing through to make this happen. If people get to go sailing and be outside then everyone’s happy.” People traveled from all over the country, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and even a few visitors from Canada. The event was scheduled to kick off with the first qualifier at 1 p.m. Thursday but, in one more twist, the lack of wind caused a delay in the race start. The ideal or “Hollywood” conditions that the sport hopes for is clear black ice, 10 to 15 mph winds and very minimal snow.

Peoria-to-Chicago train pitched with stop in La Salle-Peru ‘It would give a lot more opportunities for economic development’ By MICHAEL URBANEC
murbanec@shawmedia.com The old stories parents and grandparents share of hopping on the “Rocket” for a day trip in Chicago or Peoria could be getting a modern take. The city of Peoria is conducting a feasibility study with the Illinois Department of Transportation for a passenger train to run from Peoria to Chicago, with possible stops in Ottawa and La Salle-Peru. Peoria Mayor Rita Ali said the project still is in the planning stages and actual construction upgrades could be years down the line. As for locally, cities such as La Salle and Peru have a long history with trains. Peru Mayor Ken Kolowski said there’s a train in the city’s logo for a reason, and La Salle Mayor Jeff Grove said having a train come through like it did 50 years ago would benefit everyone. “Any time you can bring convenient transportation out of Chicago and Peoria through the Illinois Valley
Tom Sistak for Shaw Media
La Salle is proposed as one of the stops on a Peoria-to-Chicago train route pitched by the city of Peoria. it’s going to be a great thing,” Kolowski said. “Trains have a history with people in La Salle County and the possibility of having people stop in our community to shop and go to a Pistol Shrimp game, sure, that takes some time but it’s exciting. It’s a positive for the community.” Kolowski said he found out about the new proposed passenger train at the same time as everyone else. He
said he’s heard nothing of timelines or money yet and he probably won’t any time soon since it’s in the planning stages. He doesn’t see a downside to it, however. Grove said he reached out to the city of Peoria on Wednesday morning to make sure they’re kept in the loop on all correspondence. Ottawa Mayor Dan Aussem said this isn’t the first time a passenger rail study was performed that included Ottawa, but he’s happy to see Peoria has a good group of people working on it. “It would give a lot more opportunities for economic development just because of people choosing to live in Ottawa or work in the area with places like Joliet, Peoria and Chicago available by rail or vice versa,” Aussem said. Ottawa last had a rail study done in 2015 and Aussem said a city employee reached out to Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich, Wednesday morning to share the information discovered seven years ago. Utica Mayor David Stewart said he’s following the news with considerable interest and plans to contact the study group to see if Utica and Starved Rock State Park somehow can be tied to the train’s route.
Keep Warm This Winter!
“This is something that’s definitely piqued my interest,” said Stewart, who said he’s inquired previously of rail opportunities into Utica. “I’d like to get some more information as to how this is all going to work, what their timelines are. I see now there are proposed stops between Ottawa and La Salle-Peru and I’d really like to get Utica added to that list.” As the route is laid out right now, it would follow west of the Illinois River before making stops in La Salle-Peru and Ottawa. Urich said during Peoria’s Wednesday City Council meeting this is a critical time to look at a passenger rail because Peoria is the largest metropolitan area in Illinois without a public rail system and there’s more money available for a rail project than ever because of the passage of the national infrastructure bill. Urich said the next step is for Ali, the Peoria mayor, and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, who is working on the project, to set up meetings with Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration to make the city’s case.

La Salle theater reaches into the jukebox with ‘The Marvelous Wonderettes’ By TOM COLLINS
tcollins@shawmedia.com Imagine going to your 10-year high school reunion and standing there is your rival for prom queen. And the girl who cheated with your then-boyfriend. And the girl who was mean to everybody. What do you do? Well, you get up and sing with them, of course. Stage 212 is easing audiences out of the pandemic with a comedic musical called “The Marvelous Wonderettes.” In Act I, four girls compete at the 1958 Springfield High School prom singing about their lives and loves through classic ’50s hits. In Act II, the Wonderettes gather at their 10-year reunion and put their trials and tribulations to hit songs from the ’60s. “It’s an amazing show,” said Dawn Cardwell, who co-stars as Betty Jean. “It’s all ’50s and ’60s hits and if you grew up listening to that, as my dad had me do, you’re going to love the show. “It’s a toe-tapper. It’s funny. There are some good emotions in it. You’ll feel all the ‘feels’ through the show.” Never heard of the “Marvelous Wonderettes?” You’re not alone. Roger Bean’s show is comparatively new – decades younger than “Grease,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” etc. – and enjoyed success off Broadway but never quite hit the big time. Stage 212 director Joseph Santos called it a “hidden gem of a show,” tailor-made for the local stage.
Tom Sistak for Shaw Media
Guess what ‘50s hit they’re singing? “The Marvelous Wonderettes” are seen here performing “Lollipop.” From left are Dawn Cardwell as Betty Jean, Samantha Farb as Suzy, Sarah Breyne as Missy and Kaitlin Ernst as Cindy Lou. “It really did find its spot in becoming a really good community theater show,” Santos said. “It’s just perfect: small cast, easy set, tap-your-feet music, audience participation, comedy and a little bit of endearing moments.” That’s not say it’s an easy show to cast. The four leads require accomplished singers who can read music and who can harmonize. Fortunately, co-stars Samantha Farb and Sarah Breyne both are music teachers and some in the cast and crew have done this show before. “Wonderettes” was Santos’ directorial debut (with Engle Lane in Streator) while Farb is making her fifth turn as ditzy Suzy Simpson, her first with Stage 212. “This show I would do a million times, if I could,” Farb said. “Who doesn’t love ’50s and ’60s music?” Breyne said the music alone makes “Wonderettes” a sure-fire hit with audiences, though the show also includes a healthy mix of pathos, comedy and audience

‘Bulletin Board of the Month’ created to spread positivity December’s bulletin board message was to be grateful
Putnam County Rotary has partnered with Putnam County Junior High to create a bulletin board of the month to share messages of hope, optimism and compassion to and from its students. President-Elect of the Putnam County Rotary Debbie Buffington announced that the message from December’s board of the month was ‘We are Grateful.’ “Putnam County Rotary is happy to see the excitement and participation of not just the 8th graders but all students, faculty and staff at Putnam County Junior High,” Buffington said. “Hopefully this project is being enjoyed by not just the students but by their parents, families and all Record readers as well.” The participation in the board has been great as this past month’s board was accompanied by a short essay on being grateful in our lives from eighth grader Mariah Sager. “The bulletin board this month is about being grateful and there are many people who are grateful for things and people,” Sager’s essay reads. “Many people were grateful for their family and friends but there were some people who were grateful for people at PCJH, like Mr. Olson. The board is mostly about what you are grateful for.” Sager stated that they were thankful for the teachers and faculty at her school and wanted to remind others around her to time to appreciate what they have. “In my mind I think it was mostly about being grateful for what you have,” Sager stated. “To me I see PCJH as a fun and exciting place to learn and be

The sport requires a good amount of preparation for the racers as many use hand-made boats with specific skates underneath that helps many of them reach speeds of up to 90 mph. The hand-made boats have to fit very tight class specs in order to be able to compete in the races. A number of racing participants also take part in building boats for themselves or other competitors. The boats are not motor propelled and actually function more like a sailboat that is able to glide over top of the ice. The course is set up in a circle around the lake with a starting line off to the side. Each race takes around 15 minutes to complete a full run. The No. 1 ranked racer, Ron Sherry, was in attendance to enjoy the lake. Sherry has been participating in ice yacht racing since his childhood and builds many of the boats in use today. Sherry is a multi-time world champion, multi-time North American champion, multi-time European champion and has been involved in the sport since he was nine years old. “The speed and the camaraderie is kind of what it’s all about for me,” Sherry said. “It’s the speed and acceleration that gets you. I mean going 90 mph in a boat that weighs 46 pounds is pretty exciting.”

Panthers surge early, hang on to top Marquette
Panthers’ fast start, closing defense upend Crusaders for third place at Tri-County tourney By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK
cellerbrock@shawmedia.com
GRANVILLE – The banner above the balcony on the north side of R.M. Germano Gymnasium welcomes teams, referees and fans to the permanent home of the Tri-County Conference Tournament, but below that, there’s a phrase that says a little more about the Panthers’ attitude about their role as host and left Marquette feeling the sting of every word. “This is OUR house.” The Panthers fell behind Marquette, 7-4, in the first two minutes of the 95th annual tournament’s thirdplace game, but then scored 16 of the next 18 points to take control of what would become a 65-49 victory in their home gym on Friday night. Jackson McDonald led all scorers with 23 points, 10 of those coming in the fourth quarter after the Crusaders had erased all but seven of a 22-point deficit by the end of the first minute of the final period. Marquette’s Tommy Durdan scored 10 of his team-high 13 in that final period to help slice that deficit to 46-39 at the 6:59 mark of that quarter. However, the Panthers sank 7 of 9 chances from the free-throw line to help preserve the trophy-winning decision. “To end a tournament with a win is always a good thing. I’m glad for the kids after a tough game against Seneca,” said Putnam County coach Harold Fay, referencing their semifinal loss Wednesday. “I was a little surprised they started in a zone, but against it we moved the ball, we were patient and we took shots within our offense. Plus our guards rebounded well on the back side, after two or three missed shots to enable us to get another chance at it. That was big at the beginning. “When we got up and when Marquette started to close it, the kids came over to the bench hanging their heads a little bit, so I reminded them that they weren’t going to go away and we had to keep battling … We took their best punch and were able to increase the lead again. That was good to see.” Buckets by MA’s Durdan and Brady Ewers around a 3-pointer by Logan

BELOW: Marquette’s Peter McGrath (11) goes up for a shot in front of Putnam County’s Andrew Pyszka (2) on Friday. PC won 65-49. Nelson gave the No. 4-seeded Cru that early three-point margin. However, offensive rebounds converted into points in the lane by Wyatt Grimshaw and McDonald erased that deficit and started the decisive rally. Four points by Andrew Pyszka, the last of Grimshaw’s six points in the period and a steal and layup by Drake Smith capped the stanza with PC up 17-7. In the second quarter, Austin Mattingly took over the bulk of the scoring, popping in six points before he ended the Panther surge with two scores in the lane, opening up a 36-14 lead. The Crusaders wouldn’t go away. After sealing off their defensive boards better and becoming a constant nagging presence on the perimeter, MA forced five PC turnovers in the third. Five points each by twin towers Beau and Brady Ewers cut the PC lead to 46-32 heading to the fourth before Marquette got a Carson Zellers trey, a Durdan bucket and a Beau Ewers inside deuce for the first seven points of the fourth, making in 46-39 in the
blink of an eye. That’s when McDonald and Pyszka came through for the hosts. A basket from each, a free throw from Chad Olson and two more tosses from Pyszka restored the lead to 13. Back-toback Durdan deuces kept it near 10, but the Panthers squashed the threat with 11 straight points, six of those by McDonald, to ice the win. Mattingly tossed in 13 points and a team-best seven caroms on the night, while Pyszka added 11 points. Beau Ewers netted 10 points and Brady Ewers chipped in seven points and six boards for the Cru (15-8), while Zellers added seven points and Nelson six. “They beat us. We did a better job in the second half, but you just can’t spot a good team like Putnam County an 18-point lead like that and play from behind all night,” Marquette coach Todd Hopkins said. “Give them credit. They played hard … We didn’t help ourselves at the free throw line either (13 of 24), but we’ll just have to regroup and come back here next Friday and try it again.”

ROUNDUP
Panthers fall to Seneca in TCC semifinals
GRANVILLE – The good thing about 3-pointers is that they can help a team build a big lead really fast. The other thing about 3-pointers is that when they dry up, that same lead can disappear in an awful hurry. The Seneca Fighting Irish canned six 3s in the second quarter alone – four of them by senior Noah Quigley – during a 28-point second quarter that helped build a 17-point lead on Putnam County midway through the third period. However, when the Irish made only two 3s in the second half, that opened the door for a pesky Panthers squad to whittle that margin down to two points in the final minute. That’s when two huge baskets by sophomore Kisen Klinker in the final 33.4 seconds closed out a wild 64-58 victory in the 95th annual Tri-County Conference Tournament semifinals Wednesday, Jan. 26 in R.M. Germano Gym. A buzzer-beating layup by Austin Mattingly gave the Panthers a 15-14 lead after one quarter before the Irish got hot. A pair of 3s from the right corner by Quigley and another from the left by Zach Pfiefer started the third quarter, and later two more back-toback bombs by Quigley opened a 38-25 Seneca advantage. Jackson McDonald scored seven in the quarter for PC to keep it within 42-30 at the half, but two more Pfiefer 3s in the third widened the gap to 50-33 with 4:38 showing. After that, PC chipped away behind McDonald, Mattingly and Andrew Pyszka, eventually slicing that deficit to 60-58 on a 3 and two free throws by Pyszka with 46.9 seconds left in the fourth. That’s when Klinker cashed in passes from Calvin Maierhofer with 33.4 seconds left and from Lane Provance with 16.5 seconds to go to ice the win. “That second quarter, that was us,” said Seneca coach Russ Witte, who earned the 200th victory in his 12-plus seasons atop the Seneca program. “It was us getting deflections on defense, getting run-outs and hitting shots in rhythm. We tried to carry that over to the third, but we double-rimmed at least four 3s, so they were good shots. Our kids have to learn that when they’re not dropping like that, we need to be able to run stuff to get us good shots. We’d preach patience, patience, patience in the huddle, then not be patient on the floor. “Thankfully we made some plays at the end, Kisen made big shots and played great tonight ... I didn’t think the fourth quarter would be as ugly as it was, but we’ll take it.” Quigley ended up with 20 points for
the Irish. Pfeifer added 16 and Klinker eight points and eight boards. McDonald finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds for PC (12-13), while Mattingly ended up with 17 points and Pyszka 15. “We talked about it and you can’t deny the effort of the kids tonight. It was just too big a hole to climb out of,” PC coach Harold Fay said. “It takes a lot of energy to get to that points that it’s tough to push yourself over the top. … We knew [Seneca] was going to sit in the corners waiting for the 3s and we just left them for a little bit to help out on the post screen, just a half a step away and then bam, it was a 3. When we started to close out better in the second half, that’s when we came back. PC 60, Roanoke-Benson 27: The Panthers put the pressure on the Rockets from the outset and got out in transition to grab an 8-0 lead. Mattingly hit a pair of free throws to start the scoring, and after Wyatt Grimshaw scored a bucket, Mattingly had back-to-back steals and layups. The Panthers led, 15-5, after the first quarter and extended their advantage Scott Anderson to 26-6 on a 3-pointer by Drake Smith Putnam County’s Andrew Pyszka shoots a 3-pointer over Seneca’s Calvin Maierhofer during with 4:10 left in the second quarter. Mattingly closed the first half with a the Tri-County Conference Tournament on Wednesday, Jan. 26, in Granville. flurry with a pair of drives to the basket and a 3-pointer to give PC a 35-8 ADAM AND IDA DECK COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP halftime lead. “We played well,” Mattingly said. HENNEPIN VOCATIONAL GRANT “Defense was where we really played well. Offensively, we moved the ball KENNEY GRANT around pretty well and shots fell.” The Village of Hennepin would like to remind Putnam County graduating Putnam County pushed its lead to 30 points on the first possession of the Seniors that the deadline is fast approaching to apply for the Adam third quarter when Grimshaw sank a and Ida Deck College Scholarship.
