Putnam County was begun working with Ogle County, Growth Dimensions Economic Development of Boone County and Lee County in a broadband planning partnership through the Accelerate Illinois Broadband Initiative. The vision statement for the partnership is to ensure availability of reliable, high-performing, high-speed, affordable broadband to all residents, businesses, organizations and farms in the north central Illinois region that promotes educational, economic and information opportunities. As part of the initiative, the county
will be fielding survey responses. This survey will be open through July 23 and is available online at www.BroadBandForAIINCIL.org. Putnam County Vice-Chairman Steve Malavolti stated that it’s crucial to gather as many responses as possible while the survey is open. “It is very important that we have input from all our neighbors across Putnam County,” Malvolti said. “To reach as many people as possible, a new website has been setup to complete the survey online as well as a printed survey, which will be available in the Putnam County Library system and Village Halls across the county.”
Goals for the Region are: To create a technologically advanced broadband network that is affordable, accessible, adaptable, and reliable. To leverage partnerships and resources across the region to support and expand network development. To serve and provide support for all the inclusive services for residents, education, businesses, agriculture, and tourism. To incorporate scalable improvements that will enhance existing infrastructure and new developments. And don’t forget to tell your neighbors to complete the survey, too,” Added Malvolti.

Putnam County Board to allow state police to use space in county building By JAYCE EUSTICE
jeustice@shawmedia.com The Putnam County Board will present a contract to the Illinois State Police to set up an office in the county’s Emergency Management Agency building, the board decided after discussion at Monday’s monthly meeting. The building is at 1120 Old Highway 26 in Hennepin and also houses the county’s emergency management staff and serves as an emergency operations center. The contract has been discussed during previous meetings and has been awaiting official go-ahead due to
specifics within the wording of the contract. Putnam County State’s Attorney Christina Judd Mennie said during the meeting ISP would not be obligated to tell the county if anyone was injured on the property. “That’s something that they said they have never done and they have several buildings throughout the state that don’t require it,” Mennie said. “I don’t like doing things like that.” Mennie said ISP suggested language in the contract that would mandate that only troopers would be allowed in the building and not the general public.
Mennie said she would also like to include language that if there was an injury in the building, ISP would be responsible for taking care of it. The board said it would be in favor of housing ISP in the building if specifics are agreed. “Obviously the benefits, in case something does happen catastrophic, we would have the state police headquartered here in the county,” Board President Charlie Lenkaitis said. “To utilize that space is a good thing.” Mennie was unanimously given approval to draw up a contract with the preferred language and present it to the Illinois State Police.

$3M OK’d for highway-rail crossings in region All work to be done within 18 months of order date Shaw Local News Network The Illinois Commerce Commission has approved three stipulated agreements authorizing the use of approximately $3.1 million in Grade Crossing Protection Funds to help pay for the installation of automatic warning devices at eleven highway-rail grade crossings of the Iowa Interstate Railroad Tracks in Bureau, La Salle, Putnam and Rock Island counties. “Public safety near and around trains is a high priority for the Illinois Commerce Commission,” ICC Commissioner Carrie Zalewski said. “Installing automatic warning devices at these crossings will provide pedestrians, motorists and rail employees with greater protection. The allocation of Grade Crossing Protection Funds enables project like these to become a reality.” Agreement 2208 requires the installation of new automatic flashing light signals and gates at four crossings of the IAIS in Peru. The crossings are located on Pine, Plain, Putna and Pike streets.
Agreement 2217 requires the installation of new automatic flashing light signals and gates at four crossings of the IAIS in Bureau County. The crossings are located at Depot Street in DePue, East Street in DePue, East Nebraska Street in Bureau Junction and East Main Street in Tiskilwa. Agreement 2218 requires the installation of new automatic flashing light signals and gates at three crossings in Putnam, Marshall and Rock Island counties. The crossings are located at Main Street near Bureau in Putnam County, CR 1450 North near Henry in Marshall County and at North First Avenue in Carbon Cliff in Rock Island County. The total combined estimated cost of the new automatic warning devices is $3,3 million. Staff recommended that the Grade Crossing Protection Fund be used to pay 95% of the signal design and installation costs, not to exceed $3,135,000. IAIS will pay all remaining signal design and installation costs and all future operating and maintenance costs related to the new automatic warning devices at the crossings. All work is to be completed within 18 months of the order date.

St. Margaret’s Health aims to close Spring Valley hospital Spring Valley City Council says it’s disappointed, requests impact study By DEREK BARICHELLO
dbarichello@shawmedia.com St. Margaret’s Health soon will be applying for the state’s permission to discontinue its Spring Valley hospital and consolidate services with its Peru hospital – an action that was met with displeasure from Spring Valley’s City Council on Tuesday. The plan calls for emergency and inpatient services to move to St. Margaret’s in Peru, and continue outpatient and clinical services at St. Margaret’s in Spring Valley. If this plan moves forward, there will be no emergency room in Spring Valley. Those patients will have to travel 3.9 more miles – or an estimated eight minutes, according to Google Maps – to Peru’s hospital. Formerly Illinois Valley Community Hospital, Peru’s facility was purchased by St. Margaret’s and became part of its network at the start of 2021. St. Margaret’s Health CEO and President Tim Muntz said the discontinuation of Spring Valley’s hospital status is necessary to maintain at least one hospital for the La Salle-Peru-Spring Valley region. “Two hospitals can’t survive in this close of proximity in this kind of rural communities setting,” Muntz said. “Our goal from the very beginning has been to maintain all the services we provide, and this is the best way for us to do that. If we don’t make this transi-

St. Margaret’s Peru will maintain its emergency department and inpatient services as hospital officials plan to seek the state’s permission to discontinue St. Margaret’s Spring Valley’s hospital status. tion, we could be looking at none of the facilities being able to survive.” Spring Valley Alderman Dave Pellegrini said the additional 5 minutes or more travel to Peru for emergencies is substantial, and indicated patients to Spring Valley’s hospital come from neighboring communities, for examples DePue, Hollowayville, Seatonville, Bureau Junction, Granville and Hennepin, which adds 5 minutes to what is already a trip for them. “I encourage residents to reach out to St. Margaret’s, or lawmakers, and ask them to rethink this,” said Pellegrini, who spoke about St. Margaret’s plans during Tuesday’s council meeting. “I understand the financial reasons behind this, but people’s lives

are too significant.” Mayor Melaney Malooley Thompson said the city intends to write a letter to St. Margaret’s expressing its disappointment in the decision and requesting an impact study on the residents of Spring Valley, and its neighboring communities. Pellegrini referenced an internal communication distributed June 21 to St. Margaret’s employees. There have been no public announcements made about the plan to discontinue the Spring Valley hospital, but Muntz said the hospital wanted to communicate to employees first and move forward with required regulatory procedures. St. Margaret’s intends to prepare a Certificate of Need to file with the Illi-
nois Health Facilities and Services Review Board by Aug. 1 to discontinue the Spring Valley hospital, including the emergency department. This could be approved as early as Jan. 1. “Our goal since the affiliation with IVCH in Peru has always been to achieve financial viability and structure our operation to maximize resources,” Muntz said. An urgent care facility likely will be put in place in Spring Valley, Muntz said. In May, Gov. JB Pritzker signed into law an amendment to the Illinois Hospital Licensing Act, which paved the way for St. Margaret’s to have Spring Valley and Peru facilities operate under one license, Muntz said. The act was sponsored by state Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa, as a means to allow the two hospitals to operate under one administrative team and one board. Earlier this year, St. Margaret’s Health consolidated all of its inpatient obstetrical services to the Peru hospital. St. Margaret’s internal memo said consolidating the hospitals also will help the hospital group cover schedules in many departments caused by staffing shortages. Other initiatives listed in the internal memo included Peru facility improvements, consolidating to one anesthesia program, consolidating a pain clinic to Peru temporarily, then relocating it to Spring Valley, and expanded behavioral health services in the Peru Medical Office, among other items.

ISBE awards $30M in school maintenance grants Grants awarded to over 600 eligible applicants; local schools to receive funding By JAYCE EUSTICE
jeustice@shawmedia.com The Illinois State Board of Education distributed the fiscal 2022 School Maintenance Grants, totaling $30 million in state funding to more than 600 eligible applicants, including more than 40 local school districts. The grant is a dollar-for-dollar state matching grant open to school district cooperative high schools, vocational centers and special education cooperatives. Each eligible applicants can receive up to $50,000 to put toward completing proposed maintenance projects. Grantees will use the money to improve and maintain education infrastructure throughout the state. “By investing in our educational infrastructure, we set Illinois students up for success,” Gov. JB Pritzker said. “Our state’s youth spend a majority of their days inside school buildings. It is our duty to make sure those facilities are safe, clean, well-lit and adequately ventilated. With this funding, our children will learn and grow in sustainable, healthy environments as they deserve.” To be eligible for the grant, applicants must be able to match any awarded state funds and commit to completing proposed projects within two years of funding dispersal. “Each and every student in Illinois deserves access to safe and healthy facilities that support their well-being and academic growth,” State Superintendent of Education Carmen I. Ayala said. “School districts across the state have significant facilities needs. We learned from the pandemic how important ventilation is to preventing

BI-COUNTY SOFTBALL
Bi-County wins Major League District 20 title By KEVIN CHLUM
kchlum@shawmedia.com MENDOTA – Bi-County Major League Softball coach Shannon Jenkins said her team came into the District 20 Tournament with high expectations after a strong regular season. During the regular season, the two Bi-County teams combined for just two losses with one coming when they played each other. Bi-County lived up to the expectations Thursday as it scored five runs in the first inning, held off an Oglesby rally and tacked on four more in the sixth to win 9-4 to claim the district banner. “It was very exciting,” Jenkins said. “We felt like we had a lot to prove because we were the ones that everybody was going to want to come after. We had the advantage with three to four pitchers deep and just a lot of very talented girls in all areas.” Bi-County jumped on Oglesby right away in the top of the first inning. Hannah Heiberger got things started with a one-out single. After a strikeout, Alexis Margis hit an RBI double, Kennedy Holocker ripped an RBI triple, Finley Rue hit an RBI single and Paige Tonioni drew a bases-loaded walk in her second at-bat
of the inning. “It was comforting but at the same time, Oglesby is a tough bunch of kids and we knew we couldn’t take it for granted, that they would come back and we’d have to continue to fight throughout,” Jenkins said. Oglesby made a pitching change during the first inning, bringing in Sydney Delphi, who shut Bi-County down in the second through fifth innings, allowing no runs or hits and striking out 10 batters those four innings. With Delphi holding Bi-County, Oglesby clawed back into the game. In the bottom of the first, Kennedy Kramarsic led off with a walk, stole second base and eventually scored on a wild pitch. Kramarsic tripled and scored on a groundout in the third. Oglesby added two more in the fifth to pull within 5-4. Delphi singled and a run scored on an error on the play and Roselee Lenninger followed with an RBI single. “I thought we played great,” Oglesby coach Rick Delphi said. “We fell behind early in the game and ended up coming back. We made a pitching change and a couple defensive changes and that was all it took to hold them for five innings, but they ended up
coming back at the end.” Clinging to a one-run lead, Sarah Schennum laid down a bunt single to start the top of the sixth for Bi-County. She stole second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch. Myah Richardson drew a walk, and after a strikeout, Tonioni and Heiberger hit back-to-back RBI singles and Britney Trinidad later was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to extend Bi-County’s lead to 9-4. “Sarah Schenumm came in and she was given the bunt sign and she had the picture perfect bunt to get the rally going,” Jenkins said. “Maya Richardson took a walk and Piper (Terando) came in to pinch run and things just happened from there and we got the second rally of the game going.” Holocker then set Oglesby down in order in the bottom of the sixth to secure the win for Bi-County. She pitched three innings, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out five batters. Heiberger was the winning pitcher, giving up two runs on two hits with two strikeouts and three walks in three innings. Bi-County advances to the state tournament, which begins Saturday in River Forest.
Bi-County All-Stars win two of first three at State
The Bi-County All-Stars proved 13 runs was anything but unlucky in Sunday’s Major League Softball State Tournament in River Forest. Bi-County defeated Rochelle 13-3 in four innings, winning its second of three games in state tournament play over the weekend. Winning pitcher Kennedy Holocker walked eight, but gave up no hits while striking out five. Kylie Coons got the Bi-County offense going with a three-run double in the first inning. Alexis Margis drove in another run with a long hit in the fourth and Piper Terando added a two-run single. On Saturday, Bi-County beat Chicago Clear Ridge 11-0 behind winning pitcher Coons, who struck out seven and scattered one hit and three walks. In its second game Saturday, Bi-County lost to Beardstown, 3-1, in seven innings. Coons singled to drive in the only run. Bi-County will return to action at state at 5:30 p.m. Monday in River Forest.

PREP FOOTBALL
Hall, Putnam County coming together in football co-op By KEVIN CHLUM
kchlum@shawmedia.com In the first season of the Hall-Putnam County football co-op, players from Putnam County account for about a third of the players in the Red Devils program. Hall coach Randy Tieman, who is returning for his second stint leading his alma mater, said there are about 20 Putnam County players in the program with one senior, three juniors, four sophomores and “a bunch of freshmen.” The program’s freshman class has about 30 players split evenly between Hall and Putnam County. “It’s a pretty good number [of Putnam County players],” Tieman said. “Twenty kids is a lot more than I expected in the first year because it’s hard to get juniors and seniors out who have never played.” Tieman said one thing that may have swayed some Putnam County upperclassmen to play is that the Red Devils are young and in a rebuilding mode after going 1-8 last season. “One of the questions from one of the kids when I was over there talking to them was, ‘Is it worth it coming out as a senior when you’ve never played before?’ ” Tieman said. “In this situation, it probably is because there just aren’t many seniors and aren’t many varsity kids, so they’re going to get an opportunity.”
Tieman said there are several Putnam County players who could make an impact this season, including lineman Alex Johll, as well as some younger skill position players. Tieman also is happy with the number of freshmen. “A lot of them got into youth football the last couple of years,” Tieman said. “They wanted to continue to play. There were some people who really pushed, and that’s how this happened.” Tieman said, overall, he thinks having the co-op with Putnam County will help the program. However, with the addition of Putnam County’s enrollment of 265 students, the enrollment for the co-op is now 702 students, which puts the Red Devils firmly in Class 4A if they were to qualify for the postseason. In Tieman’s first tenure with the Red Devils, Hall qualified for the playoffs six times in eight seasons: three times in Class 2A and three times in Class 3A from 2017 to 2019. “If we’re fortunate to ever make the playoffs, 4A is a daunting task,” Tieman said. For now, with a young and inexperienced roster, Tieman and his coaching staff are focused on teaching during the Red Devils’ three weeks of summer camp. “We’re going to focus on teaching and just getting them to understand what we want them to do,” Tieman said.
