Members and guests of the Chief Senachwine Chapter National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution learned Feb. 3 about Potawatomie Chief Senachwine and other tribes from presenter and local historian of Native Americans, Lonna Naumann.

Revealing locations of villages, chairtrees, battles and burial mounds, Naumann shared her knowledge of Native American heritage in Illinois and Wisconsin and in the immediate area. She also shared native items from her large collection, some of which date hundreds of years.

Regent Dolores Dace called the morning meeting to order and thanked members for wearing red for Heart Health Month. She also reminded members to honor the February birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and to celebrate Presidents Day on Feb. 17.

Chaplain Florence Finfgeld led the group in prayer for husbands/fathers George Wheeler and Richard Galetti connected to chapter members.

Committee reports were given by chairmen of American History, Commemorative Events, Conservation, Good Citizens, Flag of the U.S.A. and Service for Veterans. A detailed report was shared by Women’s Issues chair Tara Hufnagel on the warning signs of heart attack and stroke. She shared a handout from the American Heart Association and said heart attack signs are different for women than for men.

Certificates of recognition were given for 20-year DAR members Diana Williamson, Elizabeth Williamson and Karen Schwiderski.

Election of delegates and alternates for the April State Conference was held, and the completed update of the chapter bylaws was announced. Further action

State’s attorney asks to end Weger exoneration bid Special prosecutor argues for dismissal of Weger’s case

By TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com Chester Weger, who was convicted in the 1960 Starved Rock murders case, has been seeking exoneration.

A special prosecutor argued Tuesday that the time has come to end Weger’s bid.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow filed a 78-page pleading Tuesday in La Salle County Circuit Court.

In it, Glasgow argued that Weger, who is soon to be 85 years old, was in fact guilty of killing Lillian Oetting, one of three women found bludgeoned to death at the state park. “[Weger’s] repeated insistence that the ‘false confession’ was the only evidence against him is simply not true,” Glasgow assistant Colleen Griffin wrote.

Whether or not Weger can continue his bid for exoneration – a successive post-conviction petition, in legal parlance – will be up to a judge in La Salle County.

Judge Michael C. Jansz has scheduled an April 10 hearing on the state’s

motion to dismiss.

First, however, lawyers for Weger will have a chance to argue why Jansz should let Weger pursue his exoneration bid. Now that Glasgow’s pleading is on file, a reply from Hale & Monico, the Chicago firm representing Weger, is expected within 30 days.

In Tuesday’s pleading, the special prosecutor argued that Weger’s claims of innocence have been heard and rejected before. And although Weger may have raised issues he characterizes as “new,” Glasgow and Griffin argued that Weger could have raised these issues at trial but never did so.

Glasgow and Griffin also argued that recent laboratory findings are not exculpatory; that is, they do not prove he didn’t commit the crime. In particular, they zeroed in on a recent finding that DNA retrieved from hair, recovered from the glove of victim Frances Murphy, was found not to have been Weger’s.

“That it did not match [Weger’s] hair did not mean that [Weger] did not commit this crime,” they wrote. “The people would add that [Weger’s] trial cannot be judged by 2024 standards and law but by the standards and law in effect [when Weger stood trial] in 1961.”

A special prosecutor wants to end an exoneration bid by Chester Weger, seen here following a Jan. 10 hearing in Ottawa, once and for all. Tuesday, special prosecutor Martin Glasgow argued Weger was guilty of murder of Starved Rock State Park in 1960 and cannot prove otherwise.

Tornado registered winds of 110 mph, NWS says

By DEREK BARICHELLO

dbarichello@shawmedia.com An EF1 tornado Thursday night led to some damage near the Marshall and Putnam counties line along Route 18 between Henry and Magnolia, according to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities.

A rotating severe storm, known as a supercell, produced the tornado, according to the NWS. The tornado, which was about 100 yards wide, registered winds of 110 mph and was on the ground for 9.9 miles, said meteorologist Andy Ervin of the Quad Cities National Weather Service.

Sirens sounded in Putnam County communities, and a warning also was issued for McNabb, Mark and Granville during the storm. The tornado was on the ground from 4:40 to about 4:52 p.m., according to the NWS. The tornado caused a semi-

trailer to roll over on Route 18, damaged a few out buildings and caused some branches to fall on the highway, the Putnam County Emergency Management Agency said Friday.

No homes were reported damaged.

A tornado in February is rare. Thursday’s is the second in the Quad Cities forecast area since 1950. The other tornado occurred Feb. 28, 2017.

There only have been two tornadoes recorded earlier in the calendar year – Jan. 24, 1967, and Jan. 16, 2023.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Magnolia Fire Department, Putnam County Emergency Medical Services, Putnam County EMA and Illinois Department of Transportation responded to the incident.

Traffic on a stretch of Route 18 was limited to one lane as debris was cleaned up.

The NWS in the Quad Cities conducted the survey Friday.

An EF-1 tornado with estimated winds of 110 mph was verified in Marshall and Putnam counties, according to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities. ON THE COVER: Street signs along Route 18 were blown over after the EF-1 tornado Feb. 8 in Putnam County.

AREA GIRLS BASKETBALL REGIONAL PREVIEW Team to beat: St. Bede (24-7) Pairings: Saturday, Feb. 10 - Game 1: at (6) Marquette 54, (7) Gardner-South Wilmington 53. Monday, Feb. 12 - Game 2: (2) St. Bede vs.

6) Marquette (18-11). Game: (3) Amboy (23-7) vs. (5) Putnam County (19-11). Friday, Feb. 16 - Championship: Winners, 3-4, 7 p.m.

Worth noting: The Bruins enter the postseason on a hot streak, having won 13 games straight. St. Bede has not lost since Nov. 27 after a 2-4 start to the season. The Bruins, who have more than 20 wins for the first time since 2011-12, have only lost two games to fellow 1A opponents in Marquette and Annawan (Associated Press No. 3). St. Bede’s other five losses have come against Peoria Notre Dame (AP 2A No. 1), Limestone (3A), Ottawa (3A), Dixon (3A) and Fieldcrest (2A). The Bruins are one of only two teams to beat Serena, which is the No. 1 seed in the sub-sectional. “We’ve had a nice season,” St. Bede coach Stephanie Mickley said. “It’s been a battle. I’m happy with how far we’ve come compared to last year. They’re a very disciplined, goal-oriented team that just focuses one game at a time. They’re very humble. They have a common goal.” Seniors Ali Bosnich (15.9 ppg, 7.2 rpg) and Ella Hermes (9.3 ppg, 2.2 spg, 2.1 spg, 56 3-pointers made) lead the way for St. Bede, which has not played G-SW but is very familiar with the Crusaders. The Bruins are 2-1 against Marquette this year, winning the last two games 60-48 and 55-47. The Bruins are 3-0 against Putnam County this season but have not faced Amboy. “We’re going to see a lot of teams we’ve already played a few times. That’s the hard part,” Mickley said.

“We’ve played so many times that they know a lot about us and we know a lot about them.

So you have to be creative and try to outsmart the others. We’ll be scouting all the teams and taking nobody for granted.” The Bruins are looking to win their first regional title since 2019-20. “It would mean a lot,” Mickley said. “I think these girls, if they put the hard work in and they get the regional title, they deserve it. They’re a very unique and special group. They can go as far as they want to go.” The Panthers, who have not played Amboy this season, are looking for their first regional title since winning three straight from 2012-15.

Last year’s regional finals: Serena 41, Marquette 37; Newark 48, Putnam County 23 BCR pick: St. Bede over Amboy Next: Advance to Gardner Sectional to face Crete Illinois Lutheran Regional winner at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 20

Mike Vaughn for Shaw Local News Network

Putnam County’s Eme Bouxsein defends against St. Bede’s Lili McClain eyes the hoop as during the Tri-County Conference Tournament championship game on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024 at Henry-Senachwine High School. The Lady Panthers and Lady Panthers will play out of the Marquette Regional.

Worth noting: The Red Devils will enjoy all the comforts of home playing for their first regional championship since a four-year run from 2016-19. They have already beaten Saturday’s play-in foe Mendota three times by an average of 31.3 points. Another win over the Trojans will give the Red Devils a shot at No. 3 Morrison. “I think like most any regional, it’s going to be tough. The top two seeds are both really solid and we’re going to have to play one of our better games of the year to beat either,” Hall coach TJ Orlandi said. “We’ve played well this year against a good schedule, but we’ve had trouble at times putting four quarters together.

Hopefully, we can do that during regionals and give ourselves a chance. It is a nice luxury that we’re hosting and playing at home. I think that is an advantage, but we still need to be more disciplined and mentally tougher on the court when things get tough if we’re going to make any noise.” ... Hall finished second in the Three Rivers Conference East behind Princeton. Hall senior McKenna Christiansen went over the 1,000-point career scoring mark this season.

Junior transfer Ella Sterling, daughter of mid-1990s Red Devils star Nick Sterling, has been a big addition this season. ... Riverdale and Morrison battled it out in the Three Rivers West with the Rams coming out on top at 11-1. The Fillies finished fourth at 7-5 behind Monmouth-Roseville and Sherrard, both 9-3. ... “I’ve watched Riverdale on film and they are definitely deserving of their No. 2 seed. I’ve also heard good things about them from other coaches as well. Morrison,

who we’d face if we can get out of the quarterfinals, has a really good, all-state caliber post player, who will be a load to defend,” Orlandi said. ... Morrison junior post Camryn Veltrop became the all-time leading scorer in program history on Monday with 1,403 career points, surpassing her sister Shelby (1,394), now a freshman player at Sauk Valley.

BCR pick: Riverdale over Hall Last year’s regional finals: Orangeville 64, Morrison 36 in 1A Next: Advance to Oregon Sectional to face Genoa-Kingston Regional winner at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 20

At Rock Island Alleman (2A) Team to beat: Alleman (26-4) Pairings: Saturday Feb. 10 - Game 1: (8) Rock Falls 59, (6) Bureau Valley 47. Game 2: (5) Erie-Prophetstown 51, (11) Oregon (7-23) at (5) Erie-Prophetstown 10. Tuesday, Feb. 13 - Game 3: (1) Alleman vs. (8) Rock Falls (11-21). Game 4: (4) Princeton (19-8) vs. (5) Erie-Prophetstown (13-13). Thursday, Feb. 15 - Championship: Winners, 3-4, 7 p.m.

Worth noting: Both Alleman and Princeton lost in regional finals a year ago. They are headed toward another shot at postseason hardware. The Pioneers are ranked No. 4 in Class 2A and the definite favorite playing a tough schedule in the Western Big 6 with their only losses coming against United Township and Quincy and have played many 3A and 4A teams on their schedule. “We have a tough draw, no doubt about that,” PHS coach Tiffany Gonigam said. “I don’t

think it was anyone in the sub-sectional’s desire to have their regional path go through state-ranked Alleman. We are playing good basketball right now and will have to continue to play our best to win each game that is presented to us. Our girls have played a tough schedule too and are battle-tested with some good 3A schools, I know they are looking forward to postseason play.” ...

Princeton has fallen off its 48-7 pace over the last two seasons, but bring another solid record into the postseason, seeking its first regional title since 2007, when it won a Class A sectional. The Tigresses are led by a pair of sophomores in Camryn Driscoll and Keighley Davis and hope to get senior captain Miyah Fox back from a nagging thigh injury. ...

Bureau Valley will get a chance to play at home one more time with a play-in game Saturday against the Rockets. BV coach Matt Wasilewski did not anticipate seeing the No. 6 Storm draw the No. 8 Rockets in the first game as opposed to drawing a higher seed that went to the Hall Regional. “I guess the IHSA puts a lot of emphasis on travel distance rather than seeding,” he said.

“Regardless, you have to beat who you play.

Rock Falls has played a very difficult schedule and are much better than the record indicates. I am looking for a competitive game with contrasting styles. I am excited for the opportunity Saturday night.” ... BV senior Kate Salisbury hit the 1,000-point career scoring mark with 20 points in Wednesday’s loss to E-P. BCR pick: Alleman over Princeton Last year’s regional finals: Stillman Valley 42, Alleman 35; Monmouth-Roseville 65, Princeton 53 Next: Advance to Oregon Sectional to face Rockford Christian Regional winner at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 20
