12 PC Elementary students read all 20 Bluestem nominees

‘Allergic,’ ‘Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom,’ ‘Chunky’ voted the 3 favorites
SHAW

LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

Twelve students from Putnam County Elementary School read all 20 of the nominated titles on the 2024 Bluestem list.

The readers are Evelyn Grasser, daughter of Brad and Danielle Grasser of Hennepin; Penelope Bird, daughter of Nathanael and Kim Bird of Hennepin; Colette Gapinski, daughter of Butch and Katy Gapinski of Granville; Austin Grasser, son of Michael and Joslyn Grasser of McNabb; Josie Heeley, daughter of Steven and Stefny Heeley of Granville; Madelyn Holst, daughter of Matthew and Janice Holst of Mark; Eden Johnson, daughter of Brian and Allison Johnson of Mark; Blake Richardson, son of Shanon Jenkins and Roger Richardson of Hennepin; Gatling Ruch, son of Roxanne Ruch of Granville; Joslyn Simpson, daughter of

Chaney and Bryan Dixon of Standard; Enrique Vazquez-Barreras, son of Martina Barreras and Enrique Vazquez-Morales of Mark; and Jaxon Zuniga, son of Robert and Julie Zuniga of Granville.

Most of the students like to read. Penelope Bird said she loves to read “because it transports me to different worlds.” The students, however, did not agree on their favorite Bluestem nominee. In fact, there were three favorites in the voting celebration in March: “Allergic” by Megan Wagner Lloyd; “Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom” by Matthew Swanson; and “Chunky” by Yehudi Mercado.

The students have various interests including band, art, softball/baseball and other sports, and, of course, reading. Evelyn Grasser enjoys soccer, theater and basketball. Josie Heeley is involved with 4-H. Madelyn Holst and Enrique Vazquez-Morales are looking forward to joining band next year. Gatling Ruch is looking forward to reading more good books. Penelope Bird’s sport of choice is softball while Eden Johnson is involved in soccer, basketball, softball and swimming.

Joslyn Simpson also enjoys softball as well as reading; her goal is to read 100 or more books next year. Blake Richardson plays baseball and soccer. Colette Gapinski is involved with softball and basketball and she “loves reading.” Jaxon Zuniga and Austin Grasser plan to be in the Bluestem reading program next year. All of the students hope to participate in the reading program next year.

Lori Mertel, the media paraprofessional, leads the Bluestem program at the elementary school. The Bluestem Book Award Program is sponsored by the Association of Illinois School Library Educators. This is the 12th year the program has been at PCES. Students who read at least four of the 20 books on the list were eligible to vote for their favorite book. Students also had to pass a quiz and complete a worksheet on the book. A voting celebration was held on March 8. Students had until April 26 to read all 20.

Each student who read all the books received a medal and a certificate at the end-of-school assembly. Their names have been added to the plaque in the PCES Media Center.

IVCC facilities committee tours potential update locations

The Illinois Valley Community College Board of Trustees Facilities Committee got a closer look at potential spaces that could be updated and improved during a tour Monday.

The assessment is part of periodic master facilities planning. Following the tour, committee members discussed options to be considered by the full Board of Trustees for future action.

Over the next months, the committee and the Board will determine the work’s scope and budget by prioritizing projects, all of which would involve

upgrading technology, modernizing instructional environments and looking at options for program expansion to meet changing needs.

Vice President for Business Services

Kathy Ross told the committee that preparations to outfit select classrooms for the distance learning project revealed that the rooms needed more than cosmetic work to support the equipment. This will also be considered by the Board for potential master planning projects.

The discussion followed months of fact-finding sessions with faculty, staff and students.

William Uebel Memorial Scholarship created at IVCC

A longtime community college instructor will continue to inspire future teachers.

With a $20,000 donation to the Illinois Valley Community College Foundation, family and friends of William “Bill” Uebel created the William Uebel Memorial Scholarship, which will provide $1,000 a year to an IVCC student pursuing a degree in secondary education.

A graduate of La Salle-Peru High School and LPO Junior College (which became IVCC), Uebel later taught social sciences at both. He received his bachelor’s and master’s in education from Northern Illinois University.

In 1968, he became one of the initial full-time faculty at the new community college, IVCC. At the time he retired in 1991, he was chairman of the Social Science Department. He died in 2023.

Uebel was known as a dedicated professor and highly regarded by his students and respected by colleagues who especially valued his great sense of humor. If you happened to drop into the faculty breakroom, you likely would discover him eating homemade goodies, spinning tall golf tales or talking about one of his five convertibles.

Uebel frequently was approached by former students who thanked him for being a great teacher and impacting their future. His love of education inspired many to pursue a similar career, including his two daughters, Christine and Holly.

“Bill was one of my earliest supporters during my time at IVCC. I credit him as one of the key reasons I was able to start my career here,” IVCC President Tracy Morris said. “Bill held high standards and expectations, along with his love for learning, which are what made him such an important part of our early years of IVCC. This scholarship will make a difference for students to follow their passion for teaching.”

SHAW MEDIA ILLINOIS VALLEY SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Legendary PC coach Jenkins enshrined in Hall of Fame

Panthers baseball coach won 517 games, took 3 PC teams to state

Ken Jenkins won a lot of baseball games. After spending almost four decades in the dugout, Jenkins is among the all-time greatest coaches in IHSA history.

Jenkins coached four years at Effingham, but the bulk of his career came at Putnam County High School.

From 1979-2008, he led the Panthers to 517 victories, seven regional titles, three sectional championships and advanced to the state tournament in 1982, 1998 and 2008.

Jenkins said he will always remember the big games, but he cherished his impact on the lives of his players.

“Putnam County was a baseball community,” Jenkins said. “We had tremendous support. Coaching my son, Aaron, is something I will always cherish. My No. 1 goal was for the kids to make them better people and make them better players. To see the smiles on their faces when things go right and the team comes together... I always tried to put a very good team out there. Our enrollment was small, so we had to work hard to have the best team possible. The biggest thing is seeing improvement of kids as they progressed.”

Jenkins, 73, was a Class of 2024 inductee into Shaw Media’s Illinois Valley Sports Hall of Fame on June 6 in La Salle.

Jenkins, who was named the Illinois Baseball Coach of the Year three times and is a member of the Putnam County Hall of Fame, said he’s honored to be among the all-time greats in the Illinois Valley.

“This is a little different,” he said. “It’s a great honor. I had some tremendous teams, athletes and coaches who helped me.”

Ed Swingel said Jenkins was a coach who cared deeply for his players and his community. Swingel, who was an assistant coach for Jenkins for 15 years, was amazed at Jenkins’ attention to detail.

Ken was well respected by the players, parents, his peers and the community,” Swingel said. “He put his heart and soul into coaching baseball. Obviously, it paid off with the success he had throughout his career. I was always amazed at his knowledge of the game, especially the pitching aspect. His teams were fundamentally sound on the field. His players were well prepared for all situations. It was an absolute pleasure and honor working with him and besides him.”

Marquette baseball coach Todd Hopkins praises his former coach for instilling in him the core beliefs that helped him forge an excellent career in the dugout. Hopkins, who has won over 625 games and a Class 1A state championship in 2019 in his prolific career at Marquette, said Jenkins was a mentor and friend to him. Hopkins still uses Jenkins’ philosophy of the importance of bunting to move runners into scoring position.

“I’ve got to know him differently after I graduated

(from Putnam County), when coached with him,” said Hopkins, a former star baseball player at Eureka College. “He’s a very good fundamental coach, and good with game strategy. You just knew you always had a chance to win when you played for him. Coaching against him, you had to be on top of your game. He had a great understanding of the game. He would never overthrow his pitchers. He had his pitching rotation and went with it. He was ahead of the curve on that. I really enjoyed playing for him. He was always so gracious and would help me early in my coaching career.”

Jenkins and Tom Wiesbrock will always have a special connection. Wiesbrock played for Jenkins for three seasons, most notably on the 1998 state team.

Wiesbrock had one of the most iconic hits in state baseball history. He belted a walkoff two-run home run in a 5-4 win over Rochester in the Class 1A state quarterfinal.

To this day, Wiesbrock’s clutch home run evokes positive memories in Putnam County.

“Coach had a lot of patience with his players,” Wiesbrock said. “Every kid learns differently. He did a very good job of teaching kids to play the right way. Coach is still a devoted part of the community in Putnam County. He’s very well-respected in our community and throughout the IHSA community.”

The Ken Jenkins file:

• As baseball coach at PC from 1979- 2008, finished with 517 wins, seven regional titles and three sectional titles; Led three teams to state in 1982, 1998 (fourth) and 2008 (third)

• Named IBCA Coach of the Year in 1982, 1998, and 2008, member of PC Hall of Fame and IBCA Hall of Fame

• Also coached basketball at PC from 1984-90, finished with career record of 78-67
