Putnam County receives $1M opioid, stimulant, substance use program award
Program to provide various services including support to youth and school districts
By DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@shawmedia.com
A team comprised of local leadership across a three-county catchment area including Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties announced a new program that targets bringing more services to community members.
A $1 million grant was made possible through a Comprehensive, Opioid, Stimulant and Substance Use Program opportunity spearheaded by The Society of Growth Inc. and various members of the leadership within Putnam County.
“It really began with another strong collaborative leadership team within the catchment area and has grown since,” said Samantha McAvoy, the named project director of the program. “I called a member of the Putnam County leadership team and asked to give the funding a chance and without much hesitation and county approval (Chauntelle) Biagi, (Kimberley) Dahl and I began to collaborate and write for the grant with the goals of what our gaps and barriers are throughout rural communities.
The grant, awarded in late November 2024, already has started and the leadership team has been identified. Ensuring

a leadership team that is forward-thinking and creates a diverse span of knowledge and experience was the first task, the group said in a news release.
“Just knowing we have so many great leaders that provide a different perspective makes projects so much more sustainable,” McAvoy said. “It also creates a balance and a support to really see initiatives take off, maintain momentum and take the extra steps to ensure positive outcomes for the community.”
The grant, awarded for three years, will provide various services including support to youth and school districts, increased MAT services, clinical services for substance use disorder and cooccurring mental health diagnoses, support for transitional living located in Peru, Smart Recovery programming and peer recovery services within the community. The grant also will support The Society of Growth Inc. to hire a total of two full-time outreach employees to help individuals within the community locate and make the connection to available services. The Society of Growth Inc. will be working closely with all leadership and Maitri Path to Wellness as a mental health and substance use disorder provider. Lastly, the grant will provide funding for medication-assisted treatment services that are in a controlled environment and provide individuals with an additional resource.

27 students to take IVCC’s surgical technician program
College celebrates success of new surgical technician program
By DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@shawmedia.com
A total of 27 students are expected to complete Illinois Valley Community College’s inaugural surgical technician program, IVCC President Tracy Morris reported Thursday to the IVCC Board of Trustees.
Noncredit programs such as the surgical technician program typically are fast-tracked programs that lead to certification. A third section of the program is scheduled to be offered during the spring semester, beginning Jan. 9.
Responding to a demand from health care organizations facing a critical shortage of skilled workers, the Continuing Education and Business Services Department developed and implemented the course through the Pipeline for the Advancement of the Healthcare Workforce Grant.
The program fills that gap while offering students unique on-site observation opportunities.

A total of 27 students are expected to complete the Illinois Valley Community College’s inaugural surgical technician program this fall, IVCC President Tracy Morris reported Thursday to the College Board of Trustees.
Under the workforce training grant, students also can become eligible for a partial tuition waiver.

offers hiring incentives. Morris also indicated that Morris Hospital has partnered with IVCC to provide clinical hours for students.
In other action, the board approved a $17.1 million tax levy, which increased
over the 2023 actual levy of $14.9 million because of an increase in district equalized assessed value and the addition of a Protection, Health and Safety levy to support relocation of a microbiology lab to address safety concerns, the college said. The levy will result in an increase of about $7.96 on a home assessed at $100,000.
The board also established a new meeting schedule for 2025. Meetings will be held at 4:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month in January through April. Then, beginning in May, the meetings will be 5:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. These dates can be found at www.ivcc.edu/ board/board_meeting_dates.php.

The closet benefits about 300
low-income and homeless students across La Salle, Marshall and Putnam counties, Assistant Regional Superintendent Ryan Myers said. It also helps reduce the number of students missing school because of embarrassment about their clothing or hygiene.
Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center of Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties strengthens the region’s response to child abuse through prevention, intervention and advocacy.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.
Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, throughemployer-provided benefits.
When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.
Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.
When you’re comparing plans ...
Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.
Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.
Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.
Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1
That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.
Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.
The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.
Previous dental work can wear out.
Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2
Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.
Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $222 for a checkup ... $190 for a filling ... $1,213 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

“Absolutely love”
“I absolutely love my dental insurance. My dental office files the claims, leaving me with very little balance to pay.”

16-0 1st quarter carries Fieldcrest past L-P
Fast start helps Knights to win as they repeat as Colmone Classic champions
By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com
SPRING VALLEY - It was a sweet 16.
The Fieldcrest Knights pitched a 16-0 first-quarter shutout and scored the first 17 points of the game on the way to defeating La Salle-Peru 48-38 to repeat as Colmone Classic champions Saturday in the 50th year of the annual Hall tournament
“Lucky for us, they weren’t hitting their shots. they’re a real good shooting team, so for us to make them not hit their shots, that’s good for us,” said Fieldcrest senior Eddie Lorton, the tournament MVP. “We had to get those defensive rebounds. Once they started getting back into it, we kind of pushed a little bit back. Just proud of our guys. Proud of them.
“We didn’t have a game until December and all of us putting in the work and wanted to win. We just love basketball. We’re all just good teammates.”
It was Fieldcrest’s second straight Colmone championship and record 14th overall.
“It’s always awesome to come up here. Have since I was a student,” Fieldcrest coach Jeremy Hahn said. “I think it’s run so well and the people are so awesome. For me, just personally, getting selfish, it means a lot because I’ve always enjoyed coming here and watching basketball. As a coach, to be able to put guys in positions to have good runs the last two years, it’s meant a lot. And the boys have responded and played exceptionally well.”
L-P reached the finals for the second time in four years, falling to Princeton 66-62 in 2021.
The Cavs just couldn’t buy a bucket, not scoring a basket for the first 12 minutes of the game, and spotting the Knights too big of a lead.
“We just could not make a basket,” L-P coach John Senica said. “I don’t think we made a basket until the 4-minute mark (of the second quarter). Got great shots, they just wouldn’t fall. We hit half of those shots it’s a completely different out-
come here. Just couldn’t put the ball in the hole.
“The kids never gave up. It all came down to that first quarter. There was a lid on the rim tonight.”
Eli Gerdes hit a pair of 3-pointers around one by Kash Klendworth for a quick 9-0 Knights lead. Klendworth drilled another trey and Jordan Heider converted a steal for a layup to make it 16-0.
Hahn said he didn’t have a 16-0 first quarter on his radar.
“I could sense the boys were calm, confident,” he said. “We’ve been struggling to put it in the hole, in particularly from 3 until yesterday. Had a good shoot-around this morning. So I just felt like we were going to shoot normal. I’m a stats guy, too, and you’re going to revert to your mean. We were pretty cold the first two games coming out of the gate. I know
we got better shooters than that. They finally started hitting some shots and that opens some things up for us.”
After their fast start, the Knights settled for a 26-12 halftime lead on a 3-pointer by Gerdes.
The Cavaliers fought their way back to 30-22 on a basket by Jameson Hill mid-way through the third quarter.
A Heider hoop put the Knights up 34-24 at quarter’s end.
Gerdes had a team-high 14 points for the Knights (4-0) while all-tournament selections Norton and Heider each added 10.
“Eddie and Jordan are pretty special players,” Hahn said. “They’ve both been starting since they were freshman and they just work so hard. They have a passion for basketball that is unparalleled. They kind of go
hand in hand. And they’re both special young men.”
Nick Olivero led the Cavs (6-4) with 15 points and Mikey Hartman added 11.
Hahn said the tournament was a good learning opportunity for his Knights.
“We got a new batch of juniors and some holdovers from last year, but we’re still kind of finding our way,” he said. “This kind of gives us a learning environment as we springboard into the meat of our schedule.”
ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
The Knights duo was joined on the all-tournament team by Jordan Reinhardt of Princeton, Braden Curran of Hall, Kuitim Heald and Ryken Howard of Rock Falls, Cole Tillman of Mendota, Colten Alstat of Eureka, and Hartman and Marion Per -
