Granville Library continues to grow and display local veterans’ collection By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com What started as a small project, originally put together by Linda Garcia and her husband Bill, has grown into an extensive collection of local veterans’ photos on display at the Granville Library branch, 214 S. McCoy St. About 12 years ago, the Garcias saw a way to pay tribute to local veterans who maybe hadn’t received the proper thank you for their service in the past. “I’ve always had a soft spot for vets,” Linda said. “My dad was a WWII veteran and I don’t know why, but I never thought they got the recognition that they needed.” Linda began asking library patrons and she was immediately bombarded with pictures of local veterans as a collection began to form. The Garcias would take the original photos, copy them and fit them to size in a proper frame. Linda would then create custom labels for each photo including the name of the veteran, time served, position, branch and other relevant information. “That’s how it all started,” Linda said. “It was mainly, initially WWI and then we got a lot of Korean vets and them Vietnam vets reluctantly started to come in.” The collection of local veterans continued to grow and when Linda left the Granville Library, she handed control of the display and its upkeep to the library and Director Bernie Egan. Linda’s original collection has since been tweaked and now can be seen with identical frames and professionally created engraved titles on display. The original handwritten labels are still included with the photos, now just positioned behind the frame. Since its beginning, the collection has grown to now include more than 100 photos and veteran-related items to create a truly one-of-a-kind display.

Jayce Eustice – jeustice@shawmedia.com

What started as a small project, originally put together by Linda Garcia and her husband, Bill, has grown into an extensive collection of local veterans’ photos on display at the Granville Library branch, 214 S. McCoy St. “What’s interesting is that the display is embraced by the whole town and the whole county,” Egan said. “They treasure it and they come in and look around and tell stories. We get plenty of people still coming in looking at it.” There are no specific rules as to who can be included in the collection besides having a connection with Putnam County and serving in any capacity. The collection is ever-growing as library officials continue to look for opportunities to grow the display with as many local veterans as possible. Aside from the collection of veteran photos, the Granville Library also has put out another unique display with a custom America’s White Table. The library puts this out for celebrations including Memorial Day, Veterans Day and more. The table honors the men and women who served in America’s Armed Forces to signify those who were not able to be seated. The table

is made complete with various items, each with a symbolic meaning. The white cloth represents a soldier’s pure heart when they answer the country’s call to duty; the lemon shows a captive soldier’s bitter fate; salt shows the tears of families waiting for loved ones to return; an empty chair for the missing soldiers; black napkin for the sorrow of captivity; a white candle for peace and much more. “It’s a way to show respect and gratitude to those that have served, especially those that cannot sit at the table any longer,” Egan said. “All of the elements are here, but I also add a few more items as well.” The collections are on display now and will be through the conclusion of Veterans Day. Visitors can stop by and view them during regular library hours. For information, contact the Granville branch of the Putnam County Library at 815-339-2038.

WHEN PERFORMANCE MATTERS.

IVCC offers gift cards, reimbursements for students registering early for spring semester ‘We are rewarding those who have chosen IVCC,’ school official says Shaw Local News Network Illinois Valley Community College is incentivizing students to register early for the spring semester that begins Jan. 9, board members learned Thursday. Incentives include: • a $100 gift card for the bookstore, food service or local vendors for students who pay tuition (or make payment arrangements) by Dec. 15 • Students registering for at least 15 hours will have tuition waived for any additional hours • HEERF reimbursement checks will be mailed around Nov. 15. “Releasing [Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds] in mid-November will allow students to use that money for spring enrollment,” said Mark Grzybowski, vice president for student services. (The amount a student receives will depend on several factors.) “In a time of fierce competition for students, we are rewarding those who have chosen IVCC and urging them to recommit well before spring classes begin,” Grzybowski said. As of Wednesday, fall enrollment was up 4.2% in credit hours and 3.3% in head count. In other business, trustees learned that a recent five-year agreement with

Fire contained, no damage to operations in Hennepin By TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com Several fire companies responded Friday morning to Marquis Energy in Hennepin for what a company official described as a “small duct work fire” that was “always contained.” Jason Marquis, chief operating officer, said the fire broke out about 8:30 a.m. Friday. The Hennepin Fire Department said there was a fire in a centrifuge in the dryer building. It was in the same unit as a prior fire, the department said. The fire department initiated the third alarm of the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System. Firefighters located the fire in the centrifuge unit about 30 feet above the floor and was contained to the inside of the equipment and at the start of the duct work, as Marquis had referenced. To extinguish the fire, it involved gaining access and using copious amounts of water in order to cool the equipment. Marquis safety staff and fire command staff maintained a joint command with firefighters, and the

River Valley Players to close 45th season with ‘Holiday Inn’ River Valley Players in Henry is set for its final show of the 45th season with a performance of “Holiday Inn” starting Nov. 12. The New Irving Berlin Musical will celebrate an entire year’s worth of holidays in just a short couple of hours as audiences of all ages look to be captivated by this glittering show, featuring Irving Berlin’s greatest hit songs. The show will be presented November 12-13 and 18-20 at St. John’s Community Center at 1302 Second Street in Henry. “Holiday Inn” tells the story of song-and-dance trio Jim, Lila and Ted. Jim, having grown tired of the flurry of life in New York City, proposes to Lila and then leaves for a farm he’s purchased in the Connecticut countryside. The trio’s manager has other plans for them, but Jim stands firm in leaving showbiz, leaving Ted & Lila to go on the road as a duo. With his former partner and fiancée on the road for six weeks, Jim starts his new life as a farmer, but is disappointed to find

that it isn’t what he was expecting. Just as Jim starts to reconsider his new lifestyle, he meets the local school teacher, Linda, who he also discovers is a former performer herself. Together with Linda’s friend Louise and Jim’s Broadway friends, the Connecticut farm is transformed into an inn, only open on holidays, when the Broadway performers are available to perform. Tickets for the Saturday evening and Sunday matinee show are our classic dinner theater and and are on sale now for $40 per person. The dinner menu includes a full salad bar, buffet dinner, three beverages, dessert and coffee. Friday night is a show only ticket, which sells for $20 per person. The show will also have a selection of desserts for purchase. Tickets can be purchased online at www.rvphenry.org/tickets or by calling the box office at 309-238-7878.

IT’S YOUR WRITE Small Town, Big Gesture

To the Editor: In a world so off-kilter, with an over-abundance of the self-absorbed, it is encouraging to realize one can still do (in a pinch) as the “A Streetcar Named Desire” character Blanche Dubois famously stated, “I have always depended on the

kindness of strangers, always depended.” Just the other day, I found myself in the awkward position of having only a $20 bill to pay 80 cents owed for printer copies. The librarian had no change for my twenty. While deciding how to remedy the situation without appearing to be a scofflaw, a kind “stranger” came to the

rescue. Devin Greathouse, a young Granville man, did not know me that day. He did not yet know that I have known his father since grade school. He just saw someone who needed 80 cents and without hesitation, surprised me by paying it out of his own pocket.

Devin wasn’t concerned about repayment, but I promised to try to someday do as he did – help out someone else in a pinch. Granville does not have big city lights, nor big city amusements, but it has Devin and that’s something much better. Heidi J.E. Sobkowiak Granville

jeustice@shawmedia.com Last week, former Mayor of Spring Valley, Walt Marini took part in a trip that he will not soon forget, when he departed from Illinois for Washington D.C. on an Honor Flight. The Honor Flight was part of the nationally recognized Honor Flight Network which works together to honor the nation’s veterans with an all-expense paid trip to the memorials in Washington D.C. These trips give veterans a chance to share a unique opportunity with other veterans, remember friends and comrades as well as share their stories and experiences with one another. Marini served in the United States Army from 1964-1967 and what able to take part in the flight through a connection through a family member of a close friend. Marini and the other veterans on the trip were able to visit many memorials and monuments in the nation’s capital including the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Korean War Memorial, World War II Memorial and many more. The group was also able to witness the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. This trip was years in the making as the original one had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. “It was terrific,” Marini said. “I think

Marini and the other veterans on the trip were able to visit many memorials and monuments in the nation’s capital including the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Korean War Memorial, World War II Memorial and many more. the best part of it for my was when we landed Dulles (Airport), they had what they said was three schools with all of their kids lined up as we walked through. They were all thanking us for our service and handing us cards and posters that they had made.” To Marini’s surprise the sounds of support from their arrival were also echoed when they returned to the Quad Cities International Airport as around 500 people welcomed them home. “They greeted us and shoke our hands and thanked us for our service,” Marini said. “There were several that were in full uniform as well. There was a corridor that they made with flags on both sides that we walked through.” Marini added that upon their return their was also a man playing a bagpipe at the airport as well. “Both of them were really touching,” Marini said. “To see that there’s still a lot of patriots out there was great.”

Tri-County Conference is the best ‘fit’ for St. Bede Bruins set to leave the Three Rivers in favor of Tri-County in 2023-24 By KEVIN HIERONYMUS

khieronymus@bcrnews.com The Three Rivers County Conference has served St. Bede Academy well. But at the conclusion of the 2022-23 school year, their ninth year in the Three Rivers, the Bruins plan to return to a former home. St. Bede has been accepted into membership by the Tri-County Conference beginning with the 2023-24 school year for all sports but football. To fill that hole, St. Bede will join the new Chicago Prairie Football League, which is set to kick off next year. The Bruins had a 16-year run in the Tri-County from 1994-95 to 2009-10 and spent three years in the declining NCIC before joining the Three Rivers in 201314. St. Bede Academy officials, who previously declined to comment, released a statement to the Bureau County Republican on Friday afternoon through athletic director Michael Armatto, confirming it had notified the Three Rivers Athletic Conference member schools of its intention to depart the conference upon completion of the 2022-23 school year. The statement reads in part: “While we greatly respect and appreciate the TRAC and its member schools, St. Bede Academy must always make decisions which we believe to be in the best interests of our students and our school community. Within this spirit we feel the following changes will accomplish such goals. “We like the ‘fit’ from a competitive perspective and it also allows us the opportunity to connect with our alumni residing in those areas. Additionally, we feel

The St. Bede Bruins have been accepted for admittance to join the Tri-County Conference next year. The Academy, which was a member of the TCC from 1994-95 to 2009-10, has been in the Three Rivers Conference since 2013-14. that these moves also provide us the opportunity to re-engage in ‘rivalry’ type games with several member schools of our new home. “We sincerely thank all of the TRAC member schools for their leadership in providing for the needs of their students, their families, and their communities. We wish them all the very best in their future endeavors.”

St. Bede’s full statement

Academy sports teams would be paired with schools closer to its size (282 students) in the Tri-County where it would be the second-largest school behind Seneca (428). With St. Bede’s entry, the average size of the 10-team league would be 213 with Lowpoint-Washburn the lowest at 98. Other conference members include Ottawa Marquette, Putnam County, Roanoke-Benson, Streator

Woodland, Dwight, Henry-Senachine and Midland. The Bruins are the second smallest school in the Three Rivers East division behind Newman (215), which includes three schools – Kewanee (552), Princeton (546) and Mendota (539) – nearly double their size. The average size of the other six schools is 439. St. Bede previously was a member of the Corn Belt Conference before joining the Tri-County in 1994-95. Armatto said he understands changing conferences can be challenging for all involved. “Whenever someone asks to leave a conference, whether they give the requisite notice or not, it’s always challenging,” Armatto said. “There’s always some questions and concerns about it. What we committed to the Three Rivers is that we are making this decision because we feel it’s in the best interest of our students and school community and we would expect no less than the same from our other member schools. “We all are charged with the overall development of our students. Just like all the other schools in the Three Rivers, we all take that quite seriously. The decision that we made, while difficult, was something that we discussed, we reflected on, prayed on and we came to that decision it was in the best interests of our students and our school community moving forward.” Armatto said, like it has in the Three Rivers, St. Bede has some great working relationships with the Tri-County Conference members. It is looking forward to “engaging in conference activities” with Ottawa Marquette again, one of its “bigger rivalry schools.” Princeton principal Andy Berlinski said the Three Rivers will be meeting Nov. 14 to discuss St. Bede’s departure. “I believe we will have a formal conference vote on St. Bede’s situation at that time or at least make a decision on what direction the conference will go in order to move forward,” Berlinski said.

PUTNAM COUNTY RECORD

IVCC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW

IVCC, Sophia Harris look for improvement this season By KEVIN CHLUM

kchlum@shawmedia.com OGLESBY – After winning only two games and having multiple games canceled because of a lack of healthy players last season, the IVCC women’s basketball team is looking to rebound this season. “We’d like to improve on last year,” IVCC coach Josh Nauman said. “Just staying healthy and playing a full season would be a goal. We want to compete in the (Arrowhead) conference and have a winning record. Hopefully, we can do that. I think we increased our talent level a lot. We have a lot of experience coming back. We look pretty good in practice, but we’ll see how it goes when we get against other teams.” Putnam County alum Sophie Harris is one of five players returning who saw significant playing time last season. Also back are Fieldcrest graduate Alyx Carls, Princeton graduate Taylor Quiram, Keally Braman and Kelsey Berchtold. “Hopefully, their experience will help,” Nauman said. IVCC also added a pair of talented

Harris is one of five returning players for the Eagles. transfers in Streator alum Natali Haynes, a 6-foot-2 forward, and Serena graduate Taylor Staton, a 5-8 forward. Haynes transferred from Quincy University, an NCAA Division II school, while Staton played last season at Joliet Junior College. In high school, Haynes set Streator’s career scoring record with 1,309 points while also grabbing more than 1,500 rebounds and blocking around 400

shots. She averaged 17.3 points, 15 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game in her COVID-19 shortened senior season. “Natalie should be a difference maker,” Nauman said. “She put up huge numbers in high school. She finishes very well around the basket. It’s nice to have a girl who is 6-2 who has a lot of skill.” Staton played in 22 games with 14 starts for Joliet last year, averaging 6.2

points and 3 rebounds per game. She averaged 13.8 points and 7 rebounds per game as a senior at Serena. Freshmen Elizaneth Browder, an Earlville graduate, Jenesis Greening, a La Salle-Peru alumnae, and Leah Smudzinski, a St. Bede graduate, also are expected to make an impact. Nauman said the offense will run through Haynes, but the Eagles have plenty of shooters to give them an inside-outside game. “Probably a lot of it will (run through Haynes),” Nauman said. “As teams collapse in on her, that should open a lot up for our shooters and we have some pretty good shooters. “Taylor Quiram and Keally Braman both had good years last year. Alyx shot the ball pretty well last year. Greening and Smudzinski have come in and have been knocking down shots. Taylor Staton can shoot. We have a lot of people who can shoot and hopefully we can knock some down.” Nauman said defense is the Eagles’ biggest concern entering the season. “We have people who can play and know how to play, so hopefully, we’ll be OK,” Nauman said.

IVCC MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW

IVCC men’s basketball has better athletes, more depth in 2022-23 By KEVIN CHLUM

kchlum@shawmedia.com IVCC men’s basketball coach Chris Herman said the Eagles “have better athletes” this season. The Eagles return Dakota Deverteuil (12 points per game), A.J. Lee (7.9 ppg), Jalen Brown (7.1 ppg), Will Meliska and Abraham Pantoja from last year’s team that went 12-17. IVCC has a pair of transfers who will make an impact in DeAndre Vortes, who played at a junior college in California last season, and Fieldcrest graduate Henry Lorton, who attended Southern Illinois-Edwardsville as a student last year but did not play basketball. Vortes scored 15 points in Tuesday’s season opener, while Lorton, who Herman described as a “really

good defender,” started in the opener. The Eagles also have a solid freshman class led by four players from Dyett High School in Chicago in Vijay Wallace, DeAndre Nobles, Tavarius Vinson and Malik Johnson. Wallace led the Eagles with 18 points in the opener, Nobles scored seven in the first game, Vinson is 7-foot-1 and Herman describes Johnson as a leader “on and off the court.” Freshman guard Reece Johnson also is expected to contribute, while freshmen Caden Clark, T.J. Guthman, Willie Kennix and Wes Ruppert round out the roster. “This is the first year we’ve had some really solid depth,” Herman said. “We’ve been working in the weight room and doing a lot of conditioning. I think our conditioning really showed up (in the opener).”

Herman expects the team’s defense to be solid with Vinson serving as a rim protector and rebounder in the paint. “I think our defense is our strength,” Herman said. “When you have a 7-footer back there, that helps. We’re really working on gap coverage and stunting at the ball. I think it really gets them active. It forces them to be in the right spot in midline, help and recover we talk about.” Offensively, Wallace and Vortes will be the team’s go-to scorers. Herman said Vinson is athletic and a “bigtime dunker” but is still working to develop his post game and footwork. “Vjay Wallace and Vortes can create and get their own shots,” Herman said. “We’ve had trouble the last few years because we didn’t have anybody who could go and get a shot or make a

play when we needed it. We think we have better scorers. “We’re running some of the dribble-drive type stuff, secondary breaks, some dribble handoffs and weaves,” Herman said. “We’ll put the big kid into then pick-and-roll. He’s comfortable with that. He did it in high school with Vijay Wallace.” The Eagles will face a schedule that Herman said “doesn’t have any gimmes,” including games against preseason No. 5 Milwaukee Area Tech and No. 18 Kirkwood. “My goal is always to try to get in the top four in the district,” Herman said. “Our district is really loaded with (No. 1) South Suburban and Milwaukee Tech. It’d be nice to have a home game in the playoffs. We want to get in the top four and see where we can get.”

was put in place, he said, when Amboy left the TRAC in 2016, a year earlier than bylaws required, to join the Northwest Upstate Illini. Berlinski said PHS is the only school to have signed contracts with St. Bede for the 2023 and 2024 football seasons, and intends to hold the Academy to them.

Armatto is hopeful that can all be worked out between the schools. “If there are contracts that are signed, I’m hopeful we will be able to work with the opposing school in either finding mutual ground in breaking that contract or finding a way to satisfy it,” Armatto said. The other hope, Armatto said, is for

another school to come into the Three Rivers and “kind of take over our schedule.” Armatto noted that the previous proposal to create new football districts that was once passed only to be overturned is gaining traction again and could make leaving conferences a “moot point” for football.
