Putnam County libraries celebrate First Amendment with Banned Books Week

By JAYCE EUSTICE jeustice@shawmedia.com

Visitors of the Putnam County Library this week were greeted with caution tape and a warning that some of the works on display may cause offense to those who choose to read them.

The collection of Putnam County Libraries spent the week bringing attention to National Banned Books Week at a time when censorship is growing in the U.S.

“We’ve been impressed with how much social media reaction we have gotten it has stirred lately,” Putnam County Library Clerk Matt Miller said. “There’s also been people com ing in talking about it.”

Banned Books Week is a national event put on through the American Library Association, National Coali tion Against Censorship, the Authors Guild and PEN America with the goal of bringing attention and pro viding the opportunity for patrons to take a look at banned and challenged books that have been deemed contro versial.

“There’s been a little bit of confu sion on where we stand on the issue,

but we are just out here to promote that there are these books to get peo ple to pay attention,” Miller said. “It’s the First Amendment support.”

The list of banned or challenged books has continued to grow in recent years and, in 2022, already has approached last’s years totals, which were the highest in decades, accord ing to the American Library Associa tion.

Throughout the first eight months of the year, the ALA has documented 681 challenges to books including 1,651 titles. In 2021, the ALA collected 729 challenges for 1,579 total works.

The ALA relies on media accounts and reports from libraries, meaning the actual number is likely much higher, according to the association.

The works appearing as banned books include books from all periods of time from classic stories including Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mocking bird” and George Orwell’s “1984” to modern bestsellers in Suzanne Col lins’ “The Hunger Games” and J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series.

While this year isn’t the first time the Putnam County Libraries has participated in the national event,

library officials have been encour aged by the reaction they have seen this time around.

“It hasn’t been as hot of a topic in years past as it has been of late,” Executive Director Jay Kaplan said. “From my point of view, the reaction has been all positive.”

The library said while the topic of controversial and banned books has become one that has been brought more into the spotlight in recent months, officials believe it’s their responsibility to educate people on the topic and leave individuals to make their own opinions.

“It’s a thing that we have been bat tling for years in libraries,” Kaplan said. “People are always challenging this or that and saying things should be banned. Libraries throughout his tory have always said we allow free speech to everybody.”

The Putnam County Library choose to take part in the week-long celebration not to take a side on banned books, but rather to do what it can to allow free speech under the First Amendment and give the com munity a chance to formulate their own opinions, library staff said.

Magi Baby Chest looks to support local families; announces Oct. 1 grand opening

By JAYCE EUSTICE jeustice@shawmedia.com

After seeing an opportunity to fill a need for many individuals in the area, St. Louis Catholic Church’s Magi Baby Chest hopes to become a place where parents can receive help when they need it most.

The Magi Baby Chest is a new ly-formed charity located at 616 S. Gosse Blvd. in Princeton. The organization looks forward to offering a baby-cen tered charity where parents can fulfill the needs of their children.

“It’s going to be a baby supply cen ter,” Magi Baby Chest Director Jessica Murphy said. “We are going to carry items all the way from newborn to 4-T sizes. Its goal is to help young children and families that have young children.”

The charity will initially function through monthly drives where those in need are encouraged to come and make an optional $5 donation when able. Par ticipants will then receive coupons to grab the items they need.

“From month to month they are not always going to need the same items,” Murphy said. “We will have clothes, dia pers, formula, bottles and if it has any thing to do with babies, you name it, we’ll probably have it.”

The Magi Baby Chest also plans to have used items that have been donated to allow those participating to have the opportunity to search for what they need themselves from month to month.

All of the items that will be available, have been provided through donations of the items themselves or monetary donations.

“We’ve had a lot of monetary dona tions, so we have been blessed with that,” Murphy said. “We plan on purchasing a lot of items as well and then it will be sup plemented when people feel the need and want to donate physical items.”

The organization will not function as a day care, provide counseling, or trans portation but rather offer a limited, but significant amount of baby and toddler supplies to those in need.

The charity was publicly announced

on Aug. 25 and, since that time, has received an outpouring of donations. The organization also has reached out to surrounding churches and businesses to let people know that this option is soon coming to the area.

The Magi Baby Chest will be holding its grand opening from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 1 at 616 S. Gosse Blvd. The organiza tion hopes to offer an early month distri bution with a donation drive over the following weeks to replenish what is given out.

“As the word gets out, we are hoping that it can become a wider-community supported center,” Murphy said.

The initial idea for this charity came up toward the end of July when St. Louis Catholic Church Pastor Msgr. James Kruse had lunch with a parishioner leader. The topic of what can the church do for social outreach and to help people in need came up.

“After that lunch, what stuck in my mind was the idea of a baby pantry to provided assistance to needy families,” Kruse said. “I have to say, it grew very quickly from just ideas to concrete.”

Once plans began to come together, the organization decided that instead of offering a month’s supply of all items for just a few, they would look to create a place where people can come and pick up a few items to help cover some of the gaps in their baby’s care.

“The coupons allow people to have a limit of what they can get, but at the same time they are able to get a variety of things that will meet their specific needs,” Kruse said.

While the organization is churchbased, they mentioned that this will not be a charity that questions its partici pants faith, lifestyle choices or back ground, but rather one that accepts all who are in need of a helping hand.

“It’s not just about the gifts or the items. We want people to feel loved and supported when they come to the center,” Murphy said. “That’s the whole goal, is to feel radical hospital ity of not just getting physical mate rial items but that love that they feel when they come in.”

Bonnie Campbell, IVCC’s Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, received a standing ovation at Thursday’s meeting as she announced she is retiring after 25 years in various roles at the college at the end of September.

During September’s meeting, trustees approved Dr. Jerry Corcoran’s retirement request. Corcoran, president the past 14 years, announced Aug. 18 he will retire June 30 after 33 years at the college.

In a letter, Corcoran said, “My love for being on a college campus began in 1970 (at the University of Illinois) and has never gone away. So many of the students I have met have been inspirational and I have enjoyed watching them achieve their aca demic and career goals.

“Our financial position is strong, facil ities are beautiful, we have the best technology money can buy and a well-deserved reputation for quality,” Corcoran added.

The Illinois Valley Community College board also appointed a 12-member presidential search advisory committee Thursday that includes community leaders, trustees and IVCC faculty, staff and admin istrators.

The committee includes LaSalle County Regional Office of Education Supt. Chris Dvorak; Trustees Jane Goetz and Bill Hunt; Student trustee Austin Dille; Instructors Art Koudelka, Tracy Lee and Mike Phillips; Foundation President Dr. Susan Schmitt; Administrators Dr. Gary Roberts and Jenni fer Scheri and Staff members Dr. Kathy Hart and Marlene Merkel.

Led by search consultant and former Seneca High School Supt. Dr. Jim Carlson, the committee will review applications, select semi-finalists and conduct round one interviews before recommending a slate of candidates to the board.

From that list, the board will select 3-5

candidates for final interviews before choosing IVCC’s 11th president. Applica tions are due by Oct. 9 at www.ivcc.edu/ presidentialsearch; the board expects to name a president by the end of the fall semester.

The board also approved:

The annual $10,000 match for the Proj ect Success TRiO grant to help participants with tuition, books and supplies. Project Success serves about 160 low-income and first-generation students as well as stu dents with physical or learning disabilities.

Hall’s Resetich runs for 429 yards, 7 TDs in victory

By JACE EUSTICE jeustice@shawmedia.com

SPRING VALLEY – Neither the rain nor the Mendota defense could slow down senior quarterback Mac Resetich on Friday as he carried the Hall Red Devils to a 66-45 win over the visiting Mendota Trojans.

Resetich lit up the scoreboard, scoring seven touchdowns while scampering for 429 yards on 29 rush ing attempts, a whopping 14.8 yards per carry. Resetich also connected on one pass for 26 yards.

This high-scoring matchup between renewed rivals featured two explosive offenses that exchanged touchdowns throughout before Hall’s defense dug in and the Red Devils walked away with their second win of the season.

Hall coach Randy Tieman men tioned he spent extra time in practice throughout the week preparing for the onside kick-based kicking game of the Trojans after seeing Princeton take advantage of their special teams a few weeks ago.

The extra time paid off, as Mendota opened the game with onside kicks

one after another, all of which were fielded cleanly by the Red Devils.

The Red Devils received the open ing kick and imme diately set the tone with a three-play drive that ended with a 45-yard touchdown run by Resetich. After a 2-point conversion by Gianni Guer rini, Hall took an early 8-0 lead.

The Trojans answered back on their first possession with a long drive capped by a 17-yard run by Isaac Smith. The extra-point attempt in the rain was bobbled, keeping the 8-6 lead in the hands of the Red Devils.

After ending its first drive in explo sive fashion, Hall’s second possession included a methodical drive down the field that ended with a 1-yard touch down run by Joseph Bacidore. Rese tich would complete the 2-point attempt on the ground, giving Hall a 16-6 lead.

Mendota answered with a long drive that included a 20-yard fake punt run by Anthony Childs. Charles

Heiting punched in a 2-yard touch down, and Angil Serrano added an extra point to bring the score to 16-13.

Resetich again showed his quickstrike ability on the ensuing drive with a 49-yard touchdown run and 2-point conversion to put Hall back up 24-13.

Mendota fought its way back with a 39-yard touchdown pass from Justin Randolph to Garret Zinke. Hall quickly responded on the next posses sion with a 7-yard touchdown run by Resetich and 2-point conversion, leav ing the score at 32-19.

Hall’s defense made its first stop in the middle of the second quarter, as the Devils forced a four-and-out on the Trojans’ fourth possession. With good field possession, Hall’s offense capped its fifth consecutive touch down drive with a 1-yard run by Baci dore. A failed conversion left the score at 38-19.

Smith returned the ensuing kickoff for a 75-yard touchdown, and the Tro jans’ defense forced a Bacidore fum ble. Mendota scored on a 4-yard pass to Ryne Strouss with three seconds remaining in the half to make the score 38-31.

Three seconds proved to be too much time for Resetich, as he took the one play 52 yards to the end zone to put the Red Devils up 44-31 at half time.

In the second half, Hall’s defense dug in its heels and forced a turnover on downs on Mendota’s first posses sion, allowing the offense to put together a two-play drive capped by a 75-yard touchdown run by Resetich to go up 52-31.

Mendota showed off its explosive offense on the next drive with a 64-yard pass from Randolph to Smith, pulling the Trojans closer at 52-37.

Hall’s offense then begin to work the clock, putting together back-toback long touchdown drives ended by 5-yard and 27-yard touchdown runs by Resetich. The Red Devil defense forced two straight turnovers on downs as the clock began to run out on the Trojans down 66-37.

The Trojans added a late touch down by Heiting.

Hall will travel to Kewanee to take on the Boilermakers on Sept. 30. The Trojans will head to Sherrard for a matchup with the Tigers at 1 p.m. Oct. 1.

Shaw Local News Network

Putnam County finished sixth in the TriCounty Conference Tournament on Sept. 21 at Wolf Creek Golf Course.

PC was led by Miles Walder with a 97, just a stroke ahead of teammate Andrew Pyszka. Completing the scoring were A.J. Furar with a 100 and Logan Keesee with a 103.

Roanoke-Benson turned in a team total of 335, just slipping past runner-up Dwight at 340. Seneca (369) was third, followed by Mar quette (388), Midland (397) and PC (398).

“I thought today we could have done better, unfortunately, but it was a tough day with all that wind. It took a toll on a lot of us,” PC coach Sydney Eustice said. “This was proba bly our worst 18-hole score this season – great timing – but a lot of our younger guys stepped up, and it’s also really good prep for all of us for the regional coming up next week. Hope fully, we’ll have learned from our mistakes by then.”

At Mendota: Putnam County placed eighth in the Mendota Modified Ryder Cup at Men dota Golf Club on Saturday. Logan Keesee and

Jacob Edens led PC (261) with an 82. Ottawa won with a 230 followed by La Sal le-Peru (242).

Panthers put up fight, but Sexton lifts Huskers

By BILL LIDINSKY

Shaw Local News Network correspondent

SERENA – Before Monday evening’s nonconference matchup with Putnam County, Serena senior outside hitter Paige Sexton had been making her name known in state volleyball circles.

According to maxpreps.com, Sexton ranked fifth in kills in Illinois this sea son with a lofty 205 throughout all four classes.

She’d add to her prodigious totals with a whopping 18 more kills along with two blocks during the Huskers’ 25-19, 25-23 decision over a tough-minded group of Panthers on Al Stegman Court.

“It means a lot to me that I’ve been able to contribute so much for my team so far this year, and tonight I felt really good in being that type of player that can be counted on to get points when we need them,” Sexton said. “This was another big win for us against a solid team.”

In addition to Sexton’s heroics, Ser ena (14-3) also received fine perfor mances from seniors Abby Johnson (five kills, three blocks, seven points, two aces), Sophie Thompson (20 assists) and Arianna Tanas (seven digs). Junior Paisley Twait (eight digs) and freshman Kendall Whiteaker (three blocks) also contributed to the winning mix.

But it was Sexton who stole the show for the Huskers again.

“The last couple of matches we were able to spread our attack out a little bit and give Paige’s arm a little bit of a break,” Serena coach Chris Bjork said. “But tonight she was on fire and wanted the ball. She’s been phenomenal this year, and I think that puts her over 220 kills this year, and we’re just 17 [matches] into the season. Just another amazing effort from her this evening.”

Putnam County (9-5) fought hard, receiving a strong effort from senior Tori Balma (10 assists, five kills, three digs) as well as balanced performances from juniors Maggie Richetta (five kills,

three digs), Ava Hatton (nine digs, four kills), Megan Wasilewski (eight points, six assists, three digs) and Avery Moutray (five kills, three aces, two digs).

But the Panthers couldn’t find a way to solve the hard-hitting Sexton.

“[Sexton] just does a great job out there, and we struggled with our offense, so Serena had a lot of great chances to set her,” Putnam County coach Amy Bell said. “We also struggled to put up a block, and I don’t think we’ve seen a hitter like her all season. So give a ton of credit to that type of performance. But I’m proud of the way our girls competed, even though we didn’t come away with a win.”

Sexton pounded down nine kills in the first set, including seven from the left side and two from the back row. Ser ena broke open a 16-16 stalemate when Sexton’s two consecutive back-row win ners gave the Huskers a 18-16 advantage.

She sparked a 7-3 Serena rally to close out the opening set with three left side daggers, including her last of the trio on set point.

“I got some great feeds at the net tonight, and getting that last one to close out the opening game was pretty nice,” Sexton said. “It was a nice kill and a great feeling knowing we were up a set.”

Sexton added nine more kills in the second set with five more from the left, two from the back row and a pair off the right side to lead 17-14.

But the Panthers rallied after three consecutive aces from Moutray to tie the set at 17-17 and then went ahead 23-22 off a left side kill from Hatton.

The Huskers countered with a right side kill from Sexton and two deftly placed middle tip winners off the hands of Johnson that closed out the match in style.

“I think their blockers thought I was going to go a different direction, so I changed things up and went with my tips,” Johnson said. “It was a great win tonight and gives us a lot of momentum going into tomorrow night’s big confer ence game with Newark.”
