2 IVCC alums work to bring college history to life

IVCC commissions

mural to recognize 100-year anniversary

This spring, Morgan Phillips and Emily Maze will leave their mark on Illinois Valley Community College in a way neither could have predicted when they were students there.

Stroke by stroke, their brush with

history emerges inside a repurposed church in Rutland. The nave now holds a congregation of three and a tall wooden frame that supports an aluminum substrate on which Maze and Phillips are bringing Ray Paseka’s vision of IVCC to life.

IVCC commissioned the 10-foothigh-by-20-foot-wide mural to recognize its 100-year anniversary this year. The art will be mounted above the C-Building entrance, where separate aluminum canvases will span the wall

OSF: Quarter of rural hospitals at risk

Virtual care coming to health care centers – including Peru, Ottawa

The Peru hospital has been reopened, but OSF HealthCare warned Tuesday that tough times remain for rural hospitals.

At a town hall in Ottawa, A.J. Querciagrossa, CEO of OSF’s western region, said the popular perception is rural health care was squeezed by the novel coronavirus, but in fact trends were spotted years before anybody heard of COVID-19.

Those problems continue, and more than 400 hospitals are in danger of closing.

“We’ve seen that firsthand in the last year,” Querciagrossa said, alluding to the closure of the Peru and Spring Valley hospitals. The latter remains closed and OSF has no plans to acquire it.

“We don’t have an interest in the Spring Valley hospital,” he said – OSF’s plans would not be altered if another network acquired it.

None of which has stopped OSF from planning a new hospital for Ottawa with a targeted opening of late 2027. The hospital is expected to feature 12 medical-surgical beds and a 26-bed inpatient behavioral health unit.

However, the problems that led to the closure of local hospitals have not disappeared. These include rising health care costs and lower payments received from commercial insurance plans. Rural hospitals have smaller, more diffuse populations, which means smaller patient volumes. Rural patients tend to be older, sicker and poorer than in urban areas.

All of that has cut into profitability for hospitals and health networks who were further squeezed by their aging facilities.

“It’s really expensive to upgrade old buildings or build new buildings,” Querciagrossa said.

OSF’s investment will be more than $120 million. OSF pledges to discuss with Ottawa officials how to repurpose the existing hospital, as the very design will lend to outpatient services where older facilities were designed for inpatient.

“No one in our region will have this type of campus in our community,” Querciagrossa said. “Ottawa might look different ... but will have more services in the future.”

Throw in a critical shortage of health care workers, and more hospitals have been closed than opened since 2011. For those hospitals that have survived, critical services have been cut led by obstetrics: 55 of rural hospitals in the United States do not offer labor and delivery, and for 10 states it’s 66%.

How dire is the situation for rural hospitals? It varies by state.

as seamlessly as Paseka’s subject has bridged the decades from La Salle-Peru High School to the 21st century Oglesby campus.

A founder of Westclox Studios in Mendota, Paseka’s public art palette includes Cherry’s coal history and Streator’s trompe l’oeil streetscape in Heritage Park. Phillips and Maze have assisted in recent projects capturing Mendota’s railroad history and Seneca’s shipbuilding, canal and transportation past.

Their latest indoor work will be displayed in a unique gallery in full view of streams of college students, parents, alumni, high school tours, arriving freshmen, theatergoers and campus visitors, Paseka said.

“This is important stuff. It will make a lasting impression on everyone. There will be hundreds of young people walking through the corridor, and this will permanently effect them,” said Paseka, who is no stranger to how public art projects influence the communities around them.

Maze and Phillips understand because they feel the power, too. Maze said she has been fascinated

with public art projects since she saw the Chicago Cows Parade. She said she likes the idea of “being able to see the physical product of what you create.”

“The community looks better, and that makes me excited, which makes others excited,” Maze said.

Phillips agreed.

“It’s nice to see people excited and feeling better about their community,” Phillips said. “Some people don’t feel like there’s a lot out here in rural Illinois for them, but there’s more here than they think.”

They said they enjoy the historical insights their mural work has brought them, but learning what has been lost to time also saddens them.

Phillips grew up in IVCC’s halls, where she and her brother spent school breaks while their father, Mike, taught his geology classes.

“We might have wandered farther afield than he realized,” she said. But the exploration paid off later as a student when “finding my classrooms was no problem.”

Maze’s IVCC association is more recent, but her family’s history in the Illinois Valley began even before the college’s. She recently finished a portrait of her many great-grandfathers Maze on a giant sawblade that

hangs in the company office and fuses her family past with her own present.

“She has a gift with scrap metal,” Phillips said.

Maze welds the assorted odd shapes she collects into pleasing animals and other designs. She became intrigued with metalwork since working with Paseka, who enjoys many varieties of art and sculpting.

Although they dabbled in art as children, degree pursuits pushed them toward tourism and parks administration (Maze) and industrial design (Phillips).

Maze still plays the French horn in the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra. Phillips is seeking political office.

Weeks into the IVCC project, the mural’s principal foreground characters are almost fleshed out. Maze and Phillips, paint-splattered from shoulder to sneaker toe, stand or kneel on a floor protectively sheathed against splashes and drips. Scaffolding has been temporarily set aside but will be used again to complete the complex background.

Maze airbrushes finishing touches on the iconic L-P High School clock tower at her old high school, pausing between bursts to

examine the effects.

Phillips invites a closer glance at one of the figures, where she has embellished a young man’s wristwatch with a tiny Westclox Studios on its face in a nod both to her studio and the area’s clock-making history. She also laced the modern campus setting with spring buds and foliage, relishing every moment of a fullcolor splurge after long immersion in vintage monochrome.

Paseka created two couples, one vintage pair comparing ideas over a typewriter with the clock tower behind them and a modern pair collaborating over laptops against a backdrop of IVCC’s ultramodern roofline.

Paseka studies his handiwork with satisfaction, noting how postures, props and settings animate and distinguish the eras in both halves before imagery knits them together.

“Brilliant ideas from the past affect today, and ideas today owe the past,” he said.

He encourages his assistants to embrace the past but move beyond it.

“Artists don’t always like to branch into unusual challenges,” Paseka said. “I want them to take their skills and accelerate to a higher level and not be afraid of it.”

OSF has responded not only by modifying their facilities but by using virtual care and telehealth – even in the intensive care unit – to limit wait times and facilitate outpatient services. The total investment in the Interstate 80 corridor is a projected $180 million.

Hospitals in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions are at a comparatively reduced risk of closure. Fewer than 10% of hospitals in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and most of New England (except Massachusetts) are in danger of closing. At the other end are Florida, Tennessee and Nebraska, where 41% or more of rural hospitals are at risk.

Illinois is nearer to the middle, as is Missouri. For those two states, 21% to 25% of rural hospitals are at risk of being closed.

The good news is the trends have been slow enough in coming that OSF has had time to foresee their arrival and to adapt.

One shift has been from inpatient to outpatient. Upwards of 95% of services are provided on an outpatient basis (depending on where in OSF’s service area) while just 34% of beds are occupied.

During the question-and-answer period, there were individuals who questioned the shuffling of between Peru and Ottawa. Querciagrossa and Trompeter said the goal was to keep services available regionally – no more than 30 miles drive for any city – and pushed back against any suggestion there would be staffing cuts.

“We need them all,” both replied.

Trompeter said she foresees a day when virtual nurses will handle admissions, leaving actual nurses with the freedom to “take more time with the patients.” Similarly, OSF established a dial-in service exclusively for expectant mothers.

Artificial intelligence has a burgeoning role at many levels of patient care – including in the patient’s home –not least because of the shortage of caregivers at all levels.

PREP BASKETBALL: ILLINOIS VALLEY ALL-STAR GAME

North, South split as all-star games in return

PERU – Recently, Putnam County senior Ava Hatton and her sister, Presley, were looking at the Facebook page for the Illinois Valley AllStar Game.

Presley Hatton still was in the cover photo from when she played in the game in 2018.

“I told her, ‘I’m going to be on the cover page this year,”’ Ava Hatton joked.

The event ran from 2012-19 but was canceled because of COVID-19 in 2020.

After a four-year hiatus, the game returned Saturday at St. Bede Academy.

“It means a lot to put this uniform on one more time and to play with girls I played travel ball with like Ali (Bosnich), Ella (Hermes) and McKenna (Christiansen), and to play with girls on other teams with a bunch of talent means a lot, too,” Hatton said.

Serena senior Carson Baker was happy to see the event return as well.

“I was thrilled when I heard they were coming back with it,” Baker said. “When I heard I was on the team, it was the best feeling in the world.”

St. Bede’s Ali Bosnich said she hopes the event is here to stay.

“I’m thankful they continued this tradition,” Bosnich said. “I hope in future years they can do the all-star game as well.”

In the girls game, Bosnich and Hatton helped the South squad to a 63-47 victory, while Baker helped the North squad win the boys game 98-78.

Between games, Baker won the boys 3-point contest by making 11 of 15 shots, while Fieldcrest’s Kaitlin White won the girls shootout by hitting 10 of 15.

White then knocked down 9 of 15 to beat Baker for the overall crown.

“It was a little nerve-racking, because I haven’t really touched a ball that much since our last game, but it’s really rewarding that I won and to know I still have some shooting in me,” White said.

GIRLS

South 63, North 47: The South got off to an early eight-point lead, but the North tightened it up to 15-10 by the end of the first quarter.

White and Fieldcrest teammate Aliah Celis sparked a North run in the second quarter.

Celis scored on an assist from White, then Celis got a steal and found White in transition to tie it before Marquette’s Lilly Craig scored on a putback for the North’s first lead at 20-18.

“It brought a lot of energy to our team,” White said about her and Celis’ run.

The South led 26-25 at halftime before pulling away in the second half. The South outscored the North 23-12 in the fourth quarter behind seven points from Bosnich.

“I thought we all shared the ball really well,” Hatton said. “We didn’t take forced shots. We pushed the ball.”

Continued from page 13

Bosnich scored a game-high 16 points, while Hatton finished with 12 points. Dwight’s Kassy Kodat had 10 for the South, which had all nine players score.

Bosnich said it was fun to play with Hermes - and be coached by Stephanie Mickley and Shannon Leininger - one more time and to put rivalries aside to play with La Salle-Peru’s Abens and Bailey Pode.

“It was really unique having all the girls that normally our defense would be centered around playing together,” Bosnich said. “It was so special and so fun. I’ll definitely cherish this.

“I’m going to miss (Hermes, Mickley and Leininger). After leaving the court the last time, I was trying not to cry, because this is supposed to be a happy time.”

White led the North team with 12 points, while Craig finished with nine.

“It means a lot,” White said. “It’s our last time playing in a Fieldcrest jersey, and it was a way to represent our school one more time. It was fun playing with my teammate Aliah and getting to play with all these other girls who I don’t get to play with.”

BOYS

North 98, South 78: The game was close early, with the North holding a 20-17 lead after one quarter before pulling away in the second.

The North drained four 3-pointers in the second and outscored the South 28-12 to take a 48-29 halftime lead.

“We played some hard defense,” Bureau Valley’s Corbin Chhim said. “We pushed the ball up the court. We shot the ball well too.”

The North team went up 20 for the first time at 51-31 when Serena’s Richie Armour buried a 3, but the South rallied

in the fourth quarter.

Marquette’s Denver Trainor hit a 3-pointer, scored on a layup then got a steal and hit two free throws to pull the South within 78-72. However, Earlville’s Griffin Cook and Ryan Browder shifted the momentum back to the North.

Cook scored on a three-point play, and Browder knocked down a 3 on backto-back possessions to push the lead back to double digits at 84-72.

“It felt great playing with all the people I grew up with, including some of the Earlville boys,” Baker said. “It was really cool getting to meet (different players) and getting to see how they play.

“It was just amazing being able to step on the court one more time. … Getting a dub and playing with the people I grew up with was amazing.”

Baker opened the second half on the floor with Husker teammates Armour, Tanner Faivre and Hunter Staton. The North team was coached by Serena’s Dain Twait.

“To step on the floor with them one more time was the best feeling in the world,” Baker said. “It’s hard to say goodbye to all this even though it means the start of something new. I loved playing one last time with these guys.”

The North, which hit 17 3s, had a balanced scoring attack with Browder leading the way with 15 points, while Baker and Chhim each had 14, Staton scored 13, Mendota’s Izaiah Nanez had 11, and Cook and Armour contributed 10 each.

“As a team, we worked really hard in the offseason, and I think it really showed,” Chhim said. “I would not have been here if I played like I did last year. We put in the work and we improved a lot. It meant a lot.”

Trainor and Flanagan-Cornell’s Kesler Collins led the South with 15 points each, while Fieldcrest’s Jozia Johnson had 13 points. Streator’s Logan Aukland added 12 points.
