New wastewater treatment plant, trail improvements among highlights
By DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@shawmedia.com and TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com
Starved Rock State Park will receive $33.8 million in state funding for a wastewater treatment plant and trail improvements.
The funding, announced by the Capital Development Board and Illinois Department of Natural Resources, will support much-needed improvements to the park’s wastewater treatment system, ensuring it can effectively serve the high volume of visitors the park receives annually.
Additionally, the investment will go toward trail enhancements to improve safety and accessibility.
“Starved Rock is one of Illinois’ most beloved natural treasures, which attracts millions of visitors each year,” said state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, who has advocated for improvements to the park. “For years, I have been fighting for critical upgrades to the park’s wastewater treatment facility, which is long overdue for improvements to meet environmental and safety standards.
“This funding is a major step forward in ensuring that Starved Rock remains a premier destination for outdoor recreation in Illinois.”
The park tallied more than 2.4 million visitors in 2024, which was the seventh-best year on record for attendance.
“Modernizing the park’s infrastructure is not just about maintaining its natural beauty, but also about protecting the health and safety of its visitors,” Rezin said. “I’m proud to have been a strong advocate for securing these funds and will continue to fight for investments that protect our natural resources and enhance our local economy.”
Rezin said she remains committed to ensuring that the park receives the attention and resources it needs to properly accommodate its large number of visitors while preserving its unique landscape.
The Starved Rock State Park funding was among more than $60 million in investments to address deferred maintenance projects for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The funding, made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois capital plan, focused on five areas.
“Through Rebuild Illinois, we are making meaningful investments in communities across the state so that Illinoisans – no matter their Zip code –benefit from our state’s progress,” Pritzker said in a news release. “Today, I am pleased to announce over $60 million in funding for vital community projects, which will help improve IDNR facilities and parks, drive economic growth and improve the lives of residents in Illinois’ rural communities.”
The projects aim to address essential repairs, including water and wastewater systems, trail and bridge replacements, and site preservation efforts. State parks, such as Starved Rock and Lake Murphysboro, will see improvements that will provide recreational and educational benefits to the public.
“The people of Illinois deserve to enjoy outdoor experiences that are safe and accessible,” IDNR Director Natalie Phelps Finnie said in a news release. “I want to thank Gov. Pritzker for getting the state’s financial house in order so that there is money available for tackling improvement projects like these that have been delayed for far too long.”
Along with Starved Rock State Park, Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park in Rock Island, Bureau, Henry, Lee and Whiteside counties will receive $10.2 million to plan and repair Lock 33 near Rock Falls in Whiteside County, ensuring structural integrity and operational capacity while preserving its historic status.

Seneca slips past Marquette for TCC Tourney title
Paxton
Giertz’s late steal, layup lift Irish past Crusaders
By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK cellerbrock@shawmedia.com
GRANVILLE – There’s a big difference between typical and boring.
Seneca’s back-and-forth 39-36 victory in Friday night’s championship game of the 98th annual Tri-County Conference Tournament was very much a familiar sort of conflict.
However, it sure managed to keep all the fans in Putnam County’s RM Germano Gym on the edge of their seats.
With the game tied at 36 and the ball in Marquette’s possession, the Fighting Irish’s Paxton Giertz took a chance and reached around the Crusaders’ Griffin Dobberstein near midcourt and poked the ball away to teammate Brady Sheedy.
That defensive gem just seconds later turned into a layup by a quick-cutting Giertz with just 1 minute, 3 seconds remaining, giving the No. 1-seeded Irish the edge they needed to come away with their second straight league tourney title game victory over the Crusaders.
Those points were the last of a gamebest 20 by Giertz, clinching his berth on the All-Tournament Team along with Sheedy as Seneca rolled to its 21st win in 25 contests this season.
For Cinderella No. 6-seeded Marquette, it was a tough pill to swallow, coming so close to TCC Tourney history on its way to dropping to 12-12, despite 12 points from Alec Novotney, six points and six rebounds from Lucas Craig and five points by Dobberstein. All three Crusaders were also tabbed All-Tourney as the rivalry added another thrilling chapter.
“Marquette is not a 6 seed,” Seneca coach Russ Witte said. “There wasn’t any doubt in our minds that we were going to play Marquette for the championship. It wouldn’t be a Tri-County Tournament without a Marquette-Seneca game and they have been getting better and better and better … I’m just glad that the rims were covered for both teams.
“That is probably the worst shooting we have had in a while. The last few games, we’ve been around 40-45% from
High School.
the 3-point line and I’d say tonight we were in single digits … But credit the kids down the stretch. They made some defensive plays, they didn’t panic when Marquette got the lead, we ran a great play to get Pax the layup and we got a stop.
“We polished a turd enough to make it good enough for a win. That’s really what it was.”
It ended up Giertz’s night, but it didn’t start that way. The senior allstater went an uncharacteristic 0 for 7 from the arc in the first period alone, but still the Irish were able to cling to the lead as large as seven points in the second period.
Marquette stayed within striking distance with its rebounding until it
finally tied it at 26 on a trey by Matt Graham in the third quarter and took its first lead on a 3-ball by Dobberstein to start the fourth.
But there was just too much Giertz down the stretch. After a Novotney steal and 3-point play had the Cru lead at 36-34 with 2:21 left, Giertz cashed in a layup to tie it, then generated his own game-winner with the big steal at 1:22.
“I knew they were going to hold the ball as long as they could and we couldn’t risk having them hold it any longer,” Giertz said. “So I went for the steal and happened to get the ball. We got the ball and ended up getting that layup … I don’t know how long this rivalry has been going on, but ever since I’ve lived in Seneca, it’s been

intense and a lot of fun.”
A Sheedy toss made the Irish lead three points, but Dobberstein and Novotney both missed treys in the final 10 seconds to let it stand.
“It’s a great experience for our young team to play in a game like this,” Marquette coach Todd Hopkins said. “It was a great game, especially if you like tough play at the defensive end. Both teams played hard, but Seneca was able to finish at the end ... Experience was probably a factor for them.
“We got four good looks at the end of the game, two at the end and two before that, but they just didn’t fall for us … But I’m just so proud of my guys. We were at a weird place, had lost eight in a row, but we fought back and we’re playing our best basketball right now. We have to keep that going through a tough stretch coming up and be playing our best for the regional.”
Also named to the All-Tournament Team were Woodland’s Nick Plesko and Connor Dodge, Dwight’s Luke Gallet and Joey Starks, Lowpoint-Washburn’s Kody Knecht and Roanoke-Benson’s Jack Leman.
