Putnam County third graders receive dictionaries from Rotarians
Distribution is the 18th year of participation in the Dictionaries Project
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
Putnam County third grade students were presented with personal dictionaries on Sept. 19, compliments of the Putnam County Rotary Club.
Rotarians were on hand not only to distribute the books, but also to challenge the students with word-find games and a guided tour of the other treasures to be found in their dictionaries. Students
were eager to compete to follow word clues and enjoyed finding and learning new words during the presentation.
Rotarians also explained the bookplate on which each wrote his or her name, bearing the Rotary “4-way test,” which emphasizes the importance of being truthful, being fair to all concerned and being friendly, while always acting in a manner that will be beneficial to all concerned. And if students did not know the meaning of the word “beneficial,” they can now look it up.
PC Rotary, in partnership with the Putnam County Library, also will make dictionaries available to home-schooled students. Families may contact Rotarian Matt Miller at PC Library’s Hennepin headquarters at 815-339-2038.
This marks the project’s 18th year of participation in the Dictionaries Project, a part of Rotary’s worldwide support of literacy and learning. Spanish-English dictionaries are made available as well, for bilingual students.
Volunteers are needed for additional literacy projects, including Rotary Readers in the primary and elementary schools. To volunteer, email PutnamCountyRotary@ gmail.com and all are invited to attend Rotary’s Oktoberfest from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, at Lost Duck Tavern in Granville to learn more about Rotary and how you can help as a volunteer or member, with free pizza and German pretzels, mustards and beer cheese, and a cash bar with German and domestic beers and German root beer available.
Granville library to host screening of
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
The Putnam County Public Library will host a film screening at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3, of the PBS documentary, “Flyways,” at the Granville branch, 214 S. McCoy St. Shorebirds fly thousands of miles each year along ancient and largely unknown migratory routes called flyways. More than 200 species, such as Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red Knots and Hudsonian Godwits, travel from feeding
grounds in the southern hemisphere to breeding grounds in the Arctic and back again, flying up to nine days nonstop without food or water. Their populations, however, are crashing amid climate change and urban development. The documentary invites the public to follow a conservation movement of bird-loving expert and citizen scientists as they mobilize to the challenge of understanding and saving shorebirds.
This program is the first of four in a program series made possible through a grant
opportunity from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and SciStarter that focuses on bird migration and citizen science. Information on bird migration and citizen science will be available. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Note that the Granville branch will be closed during the program. Arrive no later than 5:45 p.m. in order to guarantee admittance to the program.
For more information, call the Granville library at 815-339-2038.

It’s often said that dedication blooms where it’s nurtured. This sentiment rings true for Gay Kyle, who has been honored with the State Outstanding Master Gardener Award in 2024 for exceptional service and commitment to the community.
Presented during the State Master Gardener Conference on Sept. 13, at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign, this award recognizes an individual Master Gardener who has demonstrated exemplary leadership, innovative programming and a profound impact on their community.
For 21 years, Kyle has been a Master Gardener, serving Princeton, Henry, Hennepin, and beyond –wherever nature calls for her help. Throughout their tenure, Kyle has made significant contributions to several projects such as Princeton Pollinator Garden and Freedom House’s garden, where she helps plant and maintain spaces. Kyle is a mentor, presenter, 4-H judge, and even a volunteer at the Princeton Library and The Princeton Closet.

“I just like to be involved with others; we learn from each other,” Kyle said. “Their passion for gardening and community education has inspired countless residents to cultivate their own gardens, improve their horticultural skills, and foster a deeper connection with nature.”
Kyle’s efforts have not only enhanced local green spaces but have also empowered community members with knowledge that promotes sustainability and wellness. Their commitment to service exemplifies the spirit of the Master Gardener program.
“University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners continue to surpass expectations, using their skills to teach others the joys and benefits of gardening,” State Master Gardener Specialist Candice Anderson said. “Their efforts not only benefit communities but also create lasting knowledge that empowers individuals to garden for years to come.”
As a part of a larger community of 2,300 Master Gardeners across Illinois, Kyle joins a network of volunteers who collectively contributed 135,203 volunteer hours last year, enriching lives through gardening knowledge and expertise.

“This is the first time we’ve been able to offer an in-person training since 2019,” Illinois Extension Agriculture Educator Emily Hansen said in a news release. “I’m so happy that we have such a great new group of volunteers. I learned just as much from them as I did from our classes, and I look forward to seeing what the new class will contribute to our future programs.”
The Illinois Extension Master Naturalist program is designed for adults who want to have a positive impact on their community by serving as an environmental steward and naturalist.
Now that they have completed their training, the new volunteers will work toward completing 60 hours of service
over the next year with partner organizations such as Starved Rock State Park, Dayton Bluffs Preserve and Dixon Waterfowl Refuge.
“We are very fortunate to have these new volunteers in our local service area,” local Master Gardener/Master Naturalist coordinator Bettyann Harrison said in a news release. “Not only are they enthusiastic and excited to improve our local natural areas, each brings with them a strong history of learning in nature and dedication to educating others while preserving our natural environment. I very much look forward to new programs and projects that will be made possible with this graduating class.”

VOLLEYBALL: ST. BEDE DEF. PUTNAM COUNTY 25-11, 25-20
St. Bede starts strong, sweeps PC in Tri-County match
By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com
St. Bede was clicking on all cylinders from the start Tuesday.
The Bruins took control of both sets early and cruised to a 25-11, 25-20 victory over Putnam County in a TriCounty Conference match.
“I think tonight is the first night we’ve looked uniform and put together in a long time, which is really good, especially against a team like PC,” said St. Bede coach Kaitlyn Edgcomb, a Putnam County graduate who was facing her high school coach in Putnam County’s Amy Bell. “We played very well together, and everything just kind of meshed and finally clicked.
“I’m impressed with their progress.”
In the first set, Ashlyn Ehm blocked a kill attempt to tie it at 3 then scored on a tip to give the Bruins the lead for good at 4-3. The Bruins extended the lead to 13-4. Ehm had two more kills during the run, and Grace Millington went on a five-point service run.
“We played super well,” Ehm said. “We played individually great, and as a team we worked together super well. I’m very proud of our team because we all had our energy up from the start to the end, and our student section was crazy today.”
St. Bede led by at least seven points
the rest of the way and ended it on a kill by Ehm and a Panthers error.
“Our energy was huge tonight,” Edgcomb said. “I think being big at the net [was key]. Our front row really took care of the ball and got us the kills and blocks that we needed.”
In the second set, Sadie Koehler
FOOTBALL: KEWANEE 42, HALL-PUTNAM COUNTY 17
served two early aces to help the Bruins race out to a 6-1 lead, and St. Bede led throughout.
The Bruins extended the lead to as many as 10 at 24-14 before St. Bede made six consecutive errors to close it to 24-20 before a Putnam County error ended the match.
“We just really struggled,” Bell said. “They served well. We struggled to serve receive. We struggled to create our own offense. It was St. Bede’s night, and props to them. They had some nice servers, and they had some good swings. It wasn’t our night.
“At the end, you could tell we started to play together. We started to attempt to swing more aggressively. We got kind of caught up trying to tip or hit a shot, but when we would swing aggressively, things would go down. So we have to build from there.
“While [some of our players] are not young in age, necessarily, a lot of them are young in experience, and we’re still trying to find a way that clicks with them. We’re trying to find that cohesive unit that meshes together and is ready to go every night.”
Ehm led the Bruins (11-9, 4-1 TCC) with seven kills, while Lili McClain and Lily Bosnich each had four. Koehler had 14 assists.
For the Panthers (8-8, 1-4), Sarah Wiesbrock had 18 digs, while Eme Bouxsein contributed eight digs, six points, three assists and two kills.
“I think just continuing to be aggressive at the net [helped prevent PC from getting back into it], and telling the defense to really read the ball so we could set up a good offense to run, and that’s what we did tonight,” Edgcomb said.
Early turnovers on downs set tone in Hall-PC’s loss to Kewanee
By BRANDON LaCHANCE
Shaw Local News Network correspondent
SPRING VALLEY – The red and white faithful packed the Richard Nesti Stadium bleachers and all walkways for Hall’s homecoming football game Friday against Kewanee.
The Hall-Putnam County squad excited the crowd by scoring in the second half, but it came after the Kewanee rushing game already had left its imprint as the Red Devils fell to their Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division foe, 42-17.
“We still had a positive outlook at halftime. We were two yards away from the score being 21-14 at halftime. Our second drive of the game was a 21-play drive,” first-year Hall-PC coach Logan Larson said. “If we’re struggling defensively, obviously that’s what we have to do to keep their big horse (Alejandro Duarte) off of the field so we don’t have to tackle him.
“We put it together and were gain-
ing three or four yards every play. We just came up one-yard short. Maybe the game is different if we get the yard. It’s tough to play that physical against a team that’s more physical and stronger than us.
“We had some good plays at the end and scored some points, so that was good.”
Not only did the second drive of the homecoming contest fall a yard short, so did the first offensive possession of the game after an eight-play drive by the Red Devils. Both turnovers on downs were called after the chain gain was implemented.
While Hall-PC (1-4, 1-2 TRC East) had two turnovers on downs and a punt during the first half, Kewanee (2-3, 1-2 TRC East) scored three touchdowns to end its first three possessions of the game before the Red Devils stopped the Boilermakers during a drive at the end of the second quarter.
Kewanee had a 14-0 lead after the first frame, a 21-0 advantage at half -
time and scored two touchdowns in the third quarter for a 35-0 lead. Duarte, the Boilermakers’ senior running back who is listed at 6-foot-2, 230 pounds, ran in three touchdowns of 3, 69 and 56 yards during the game to help him finish with 228 yards on 10 carries.
“Playing hard, not giving up and playing physical football from the beginning of the game until the end is the mentality we’re going to preach,” Larson said. “That’s what wins. When it comes to November, playing physical football when it’s cold and super windy, we did get a little of the wind (Friday), you have to play physical and you have to run the ball to win.
“It’s our culture. It’s our philosophy. We’re going to run the ball hard and play just as hard on the other side of the ball.”
With 4:31 on the third quarter clock, Red Devils’ junior quarterback Dylan Glynn found junior Braden Curran for a 61-yard TD strike for Hall-PC’s first
points of the game. After an extra point from senior Ilan Bardot, the deficit was 35-7.
Kewanee scored one more touchdown for a 42-7 lead with 4:17 left in the third quarter.
However, the Red Devils put the last points on the board and visited the end zone last as Bardot made a 26-yard field goal with 9:49 left in the fourth and junior Jack Curran ran in a 17-yard touchdown with 5:41 remaining to make the final 42-17.
“We thought it would be a good positive note to go for the field goal,” Larson said. “It was fourth-and-6 and I didn’t feel comfortable going for it. I felt comfortable with him kicking. He is super talented. I felt we had to practice at some point, so we kicked it and he made it.”
Hall junior Aiden Redcliff recovered two Kewanee fumbles, the Boilermakers only turnovers of the game (the Red Devils also lost two fumbles), while rushing for 128 yards on 27 attempts.
