93 books have been read so far

SHAW

The Putnam County Junior High School sixth grade students participated in the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Award program.

This Illinois award is determined by student votes. This award encourages students to read for personal satisfaction and develops a statewide awareness of outstanding children’s literature. The book “Alone” was chosen, as being the favorite among the sixth grade participants from 20 nominated books.

This program was introduced to the students through a cooperative effort among Amy Carboni’s sixth grade classes and Debbie Thompson, PCJH

media paraprofessional. The Putnam County Educational Foundation approved the grant that helped pay for copies of the books and the treats for the party. Putnam County Junior High also was selected to receive a 2023-24 Readers’ Choice Grant for a set of the Rebecca Caudill books from the AISLE/ LBSS Endowment Fund.

Annette Davis, district librarian, not only helped set up the program, but gave input on the grants, she also took the time to pick up some of the treat items and helped with the party. This is the last year Davis will help with the Rebecca Caudill program, as she is retiring.

Also supporting the program are PCJH Principal Mike Olson and Superintendent Clayton Theisinger, along with Peg Myers, who made the cookies for the party. After each student reads one of the books, they must pass a test,

then fill out a story balloon. A balloon report helps the student understand the parts of the novel.

After reading and reporting on three Rebecca Caudill books, the student receives a certificate saying they are eligible to attend the party and to vote for the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers’ Book Award.

Business mogul, benefactor Dick Janko dies at age 96

By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com

He built homes and businesses, created jobs and reshaped the Illinois Valley. He used many of the proceeds to inspire other entrepreneurs and help the less fortunate.

Dick Janko died Thursday at Manor Court, Peru. He was 96.

Janko was born during the Great Depression to an immigrant family and his father died before Janko was 10. Janko entered the business world with little more than gumption, though there was no shortage of that. After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he founded Janko Frozen Foods and, by the late 1950s, launched a second career in construction, development and real estate.

Goody Toraason, a retired banker in Peru, went to school with the Janko children and enjoyed Dick’s support and encouragement after entering banking in 1976.

“For the next 45 years Dick became a

good friend, mentor, confidant and customer,” Toraason said. “He was a shrewd and very successful businessman and asset to the Illinois Valley. His favorite thing to do was help young people and give back to the community. He was a good friend and will be missed by

absolutely perfect.

many in the Illinois Valley.”

Jim Miller, now of Marco, Florida, said he worked with hundreds of people in banking and Janko stood apart from the pack.

“To me, he defined the term ‘street smarts,’” Miller said. “From humble beginnings in the Depression, to buying and selling among the merchants on Maxwell Street in Chicago, Dick realized to sell anything he first needed to sell himself. He loved the game of business and his family. I am better for having known Dick and proud to call him friend.”

growth in our community,” Harl recalled. “The only factor that comes to mind more than his passion for making the community a better place for everyone was his level of energy.

“He will be missed. Thank you, Mr. Dick Janko.”

Summarizing Janko’s myriad contributions is no simple matter. Though many residents will recognize the names Atlas/Janko Building Companies and Janko Financial Group, he also held behind-the-scenes roles in entities that didn’t bear his name.

Kevin Heitz, village engineer for Utica, said he knew and respected Janko over a long span in which Janko put many people to work and transformed the local landscape.

“He was a mover and a shaker,” Heitz said. “He made a lot of things happen.”

Larry Bianchi of Peru is a commercial real estate broker, and former realtor, who had a long professional and personal relationship with Janko. What stood out most in Bianchi’s memory was Janko’s “unbridled enthusiasm.”

“Dick’s most unique feature was his ability to concentrate on something positive and keep moving forward,” Bianchi said. “If you told Dick 10 things and nine of them were negative, he would simply focus on the positive and go on to achieve great things.

“Dick was a natural resource in the truest sense of the word. He was my mentor, my confidant and my friend. I shall miss him greatly.”

Scott Harl served as mayor of Peru when Janko had reached an age when most men have retired or scaled back their business activity. Janko still was tireless in trying to build up the local economy and brimming with enthusiasm.

“Mr. Janko was a great person to listen to as well as ask questions of his favorite subject, that being the creation of jobs, jobs, jobs with responsible

Janko was equally visible in civic circles. He headed the LPOS Chamber, IV Homeowners Association, J.O.B.S. and a board member of FNB, Oglesby. He was especially interested in mentoring young entrepreneurs and created a scholarship fund at the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation.

Pamela Beckett, founder of Starved Rock Country Community Foundation, called Janko “a brilliant mentor.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL – CLASS 1A STATE THIRD-PLACE GAME: ALTAMONT 64, ST. BEDE 56

Altamont puts the brakes on St. Bede’s season

KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com

NORMAL – The St. Bede girls basketball team has been all gas and no brakes this season.

The Bruins rode that team motto all the way to their first state tournament appearance before the ride came to a stop.

The Bruins, who fell to defending state champ Okawville in the Class 1A semifinals earlier in the day, ran into a hot-shooting Grace Nelson of Altamont, who scored 39 points to lead her team to a 64-56 victory over St. Bede in the third-place game Thursday night at Illinois State University’s CEFCU Arena.

It was a memorable season for the Bruins (19-9) in many ways.

“Bringing home a trophy means a lot,” St. Bede coach Stephanie Mickley said. “Two years ago we saw something special in them. They had to get used to the coaches and what we wanted to teach them and they just grew from there. They have a saying that’s called ‘all gas no brakes, let’s fly.’ They really took that to heart and they took off this year and they didn’t look back.

“They’re a very disciplined team. They’re connected. They listen to the coaches. The coaches are connected. So it was really kind of a perfect storm to have these girls excel the way they have. They’re good role models to the younger girls. We really wanted to bring girls basketball back on the map in the Illinois Valley.”

St. Bede seniors Ali Bosnich (21) and Ella Hermes (16), who combined for 37 points in their final game, said it was the perfect way to go out.

“I’m just happy that we got this far and we’ve had such success over the season. I can’t be mad now because it’s gone so well and I’ve got to like spend this time with my friends,” Hermes said.

“It’s been a pleasure working with coach and giving her a second season and seeing the success that she brought us that she promised us that she saw in us. And yeah, as usual she’s always right,” Bosnich said.

Nelson showcased her talents where she will be playing for the Illinois State Redbirds next season. She made 12 of 22 shot attempts with two 3-pointers and 13 of 15 free throws, falling just one point shy of the Class

1A state tournament record of 40 set by Hardin Calhoun’s Grace Baalman in the 2017 third-place game.

“I just play my game and let it work for itself. I don’t care how much I scored. I didn’t even know what the record was,” said Nelson, the second vote-getter in the Illinois Media AllState Team.

“She’s a very strong player. It’s very hard to guard the Euro step,” Mickley said. “And the girls we put on her, Ashlyn (Ehm) and Lily (Bosnich), did a phenomenal job. You can’t ask for much more when they’re giving us over 100% and she’s still scoring. It’s just she’s a very good ball player.”

Ehm drew a similar assignment guarding Nelson that she did in the

semifinal game against Okawville’s Alayna Kraus in a 44-30 loss.

“She was a lot more patient with the ball than (Kraus) and was harder to guard (in some ways), but it was also easier (in some ways),” she said.

Nelson sank six straight free throws and added a 3-pointer from the top of the key to shoot the Indians to a 49-39 lead with two minutes to go in the third quarter.

But the Bruins didn’t go down without a fight.

Ehm scored the first six points of the fourth quarter with two baskets and two free throws to draw the Bruins to within 51-47 with less than 6½ minutes left.

A basket and two free throws by Ali Bosnich drew the Bruins to

within 54-51 with 4:49 left.

That’s when the Bruins’ gas finally ran out with the Indians scoring seven straight to regain a 10-point lead at 61-51 and outscoring the Bruins 10-5 down the stretch.

“The game shifted a little bit and we couldn’t get it back, but in my eyes I think they did everything they could,” Mickley said. “Everything we’ve been teaching all year. Hit the outside shot when it’s open, pound it inside when it’s there. I think they did it all tonight. We just came up a little short.”

Altamont coach Craig Carr said it was a good way for his team to end the season.

“We’re one of two 1A teams to end the season with a victory and that’s what these kids deserve,” he said.

The Bruins who will be returning next season want to set their sights on making it back to state.

“Now we know we can make it,” St. Bede sophomore Lili McClain said. “We’re obviously losing our two best players, but that means more people will just be able to step up next year and fill their role and then we’ll just do it again.”

“Winning fourth place is going to give us a lot of confidence and excitement for next season,” said Ehm, who contributed nine points.

Nelson had 19 points in the first half, but it still wasn’t enough to give the Indians the lead.

She scored three straight baskets to give Altamont a 15-12 lead with under two minutes in the first quarter.

The Bruins answered with an 8-2 run to close out the quarter for a three-point lead. Lily Bosnich hit a 12-foot jump shot to put the Bruins ahead 16-15 at the 1:10 mark and scored again on a pass from Hermes. Ali Bosnich scored in the post to close out the first quarter for a 20-17 lead.

Hermes opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer and Emm scored inside to give the Bruins their biggest lead (8) of the night at 25-17. Ali Bosnich hit 1 of 2 free throws and Savannah Bray sank a pair for a 30-24 lead.

Nelson cashed in two free throws and Peyton Osteen hit a 3-pointer to draw Altamont to within 30-29 at the half.

St. Bede can’t keep up with Okawville in second half

By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com

NORMAL – During its historic postseason run, the St. Bede girls basketball team has rallied from double digits down to survive and advance.

But playing in their first state tournament, the Bruins stumbled in the third quarter, fell behind by 11 and couldn’t rally in a 44-30 loss to defending state champion Okawville in a Class 1A state semifinal Thursday at Illinois State University’s CEFCU Arena.

“We knew we were going up against the defending state champions and a player who has scored 2,000 points,” St. Bede coach Stephanie Mickley said. “We prepared as best we can. It was a two-point game at half. The girls played really tough. A big difference is they’ve been here before and this is our first time in school history. Some nerves played a factor. That’s understandable. They never stopped fighting.”

Both teams started slow as neither scored in the first 2:39 until Okawville’s Adysen Harre hit a free throw.

St. Bede grabbed the rebound off Harre’s missed free throw and senior guard Ella Hermes passed up to sophomore guard Lily Bosnich who went in for a layup for the Bruins’

lone lead of the game at 2-1 with 5:15 left in the first quarter.

Okawville led 9-7 after the first quarter and held a 14-9 lead midway through the second quarter – the largest lead of the half – before St. Bede rallied.

Hermes drained a 3-pointer with 1:46 left in the half and on St. Bede’s next trip down the floor Ashlyn Ehm hit a pair of free throws after being fouled on her fourth shot of the possession to tie it at 16.

The Rockets led 20-18 at halftime.

“We practiced a man-to-man and a sagging defense to try to contain (three-time first-team AP/Illinois Media All-Stater Alayna) Kraus as best we can and the more I scouted them, we looked at some weaknesses,” Mickley said. “A 3-2, we haven’t shown it much this season, we switched to that and I think it did throw them off the first half.”

Okawville took control in the third quarter, forcing three straight turnovers and scoring five points in the first 1:36 to push the lead to seven at 25-18.

“We talk about the third quarter all year,” Okawville coach Haylee Bowers said. “We talk about how we need to come out of the locker room more fired up and ready to play. We felt we played as a team not the greatest in the first half so we had to come out and turn it on a little better.

PC players earn TCC All-Conference honors

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK

contact@shawmedia.com

Putnam County players received Tri-County All-Conference recognition for the 2023-24 basketball season.

PC senior Ava Hatton was a unanimous selection along with St. Bede senior Ali Bosnich, the TriCounty Conference Player of the Year.

PC senior Maggie Richetta and St. Bede senior Ella Hermes and junior Ashlyn Ehm were named to the second team, while PC senior Gabby Doyle and Henry-Senachwine junior Kaitlyn Anderson were honorable mention picks.

Seniors Owen Saepharn and Orlando Harris of PC along with Henry-Senachwine senior Nolan Dunshee were honorable mention selections for the boys team.

Seneca junior Paxton Gieritz was named as the TCC Player of the Year.

Henry-Senachwine sophomore Carson Rowe was voted second team All-Tri-County Conference.

The girls played really tough. A big difference is they’ve been here before and this is our first time in school history. Some nerves played a factor. That’s understandable. They never stopped fighting.”

Stephanie Mickley, St. Bede coach

“We talked about spreading out our offense a little bit and pull them out. Their 1-3-1, they’re so long and athletic that we were struggling to get paint touches, so we were trying to get it spread out so we could put it in the middle a little more.”

The teams traded baskets before the Rockets went on an 8-0 run on a 3-pointer by freshman Kenley Hackstadt and five points from Kraus to go up 35-22 before St. Bede’s Savannah Bray scored on a putback with 10.2 seconds left to make it 35-24 going to the fourth.

“Kraus came alive a little bit more, I think fatigue was a little bit of a factor, we weren’t snagging the rebounds or securing them as best as we could have,” Mickley said. “Offensively, they had us scouted pretty well. It was kind of hard to fall into our offense. They double-teamed Ali (Bosnich). It

was difficult to get into a flow.”

The Rockets played an intense fullcourt pressure defense that pestered the Bruins into 21 turnovers, which Okawville converted into 22 points.

“I feel at the top we were just trying to rush everything and they were getting into our heads, so by the third quarter we lost our confidence,” Hermes said.

St. Bede was hampered by foul trouble as Lili McClain had three fouls in the first half, while Ehm and Hermes had three fouls each less than three minutes into the third.

“Foul trouble did hurt,” Mickley said. “It was a physical game. If you get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and your hands are there, it happens. It kind of went in spurts. We used our bench to try to stop the bleeding. Our bench did a nice job stepping up and chipping in, but it is a momentum shifter for sure.”

The Rockets pushed their lead to as many as 16 in the fourth quarter and the Bruins never managed to get closer than 12.

Ali Bosnich led St. Bede with 11 points, 13 rebounds and three steals, while Ehm had eight points, six rebounds and three steals, Bray scored six points, and Hermes finished with three points and four assists.

Kraus scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Rockets (24-11), who will face Illini Bluffs in the title game at 11 a.m. Saturday.
