‘No matter how you slice it, we’re going to have to borrow’ County leaders search for best way to shore up shaky financial situation BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — Putnam County’s financial condition continues to deteriorate, and the county board has yet to take any significant action, but members know they’re going to need to borrow a substantial sum of money, both to make it through the remainder of this year and the following. During the May 13 Putnam County Board meeting, the board was in general consensus it was best to borrow one large sum, possibly more than $700,000, but wasn’t sure which way would cost the county the least — tax anticipation loans, debt certificates or a line of credit. Treasurer Kevin Kunkel reported roughly $16,000 of additional income this past month as compared to last year at this time. He said $7,633.85 of that additional income was from the shared services agreement with Granville, which the county didn’t have last year. The remainder was from the county highway department reimbursing payroll taxes to the county’s General Fund. The two additional line items to the budget were on the correct side of the ledger, but with worse news ahead, Kunkel advised the board they not “get excited” about the increased revenue. He reported the county borrowed another $25,000 in May from the county’s Federal Aid Matching Fund to meet monthly expenses. The board previously approved interfund loans of up to $330,000 total from that fund. The debt will have to be paid back when tax revenue is received in July. The county will also have to pay back the $250,000 it has borrowed from the highway fund at this time. It’s estimated Putnam County will begin the new fiscal year with only about $100,000. As the end of April, Kunkel
“I don’t want to play the shuffle game. I want to have one entity, this is who we owe. It’s cleaner and it’s easier for me to understand, and I’m sure for everyone else here as well.” Steve Malavolti
chairman, Putnam County Board reported a total balance of roughly $88,000 across all portions of the General Fund. The county is spending more than it is taking in with fiscal year-to-date balances of a reported $715,121.49 of revenue and $1,275,318.38 of expenses. Kunkel said he has been in contact with representatives from area banks and said one concern was would the interest the banks earn be tax exempt, which Kunkel said it was the last time the county took on debt certificates. He’ll next be gathering information regarding interest rates and options for how the county can acquire the needed funds. “I’m hoping the $250,000 from the county bridge fund would more than suffice until the end of the year. How much is it you want to add to get to that million dollars to start the new year?” he asked the board, estimating the needed amount would be up to $600,000. Board member Luke Holly figured it could be an additional $125,000 on top of Kunkel’s estimate.
Daunting task The board faces a daunting task as it is still trying to get a handle on the current year’s financial situation while knowing the uphill fiscal climb will only get steeper next year. “I don’t want to play the shuffle game. I want to have one entity, this is who we owe. It’s cleaner and it’s easier for me to understand, and I’m sure for everyone else here as well,” board Chairman Steve Malavolti said about how he’d like the county to proceed after paying back the interfund loans in July. “No matter how you slice it, we’re going to have to borrow money. This
hole that we’re digging, we need to minimize how deep we want to go,” he added. Board member Brad Popurella recommended using whichever method to borrow that would cost the county the least. Holly asked Kunkel about the possibility of installments taken from an as-needed loan, but Kunkel replied the banks would rather have the county borrow the funds in one lump sum. Malavolti said it would take more than just one year for the county to once again have a million-dollar cushion in its budget, such as it has had in the past, and that it would also take an “all-hands-on-deck” approach. The board will also need to decide on an upcoming election referendum to increase revenue through higher taxation, as well as how to best gain public support. In November 2018, 75 percent of Putnam County voters were against raising the corporate tax rate from .37 to .67, a proposal which, had it been successful, would have closed the county’s budget deficit. County employees will be facing the effects of upcoming staffing and possible benefit changes next year, and residents may well experience a difference in the availability of certain services of the county’s offices.
Highway Department report County Highway Engineer Pat Sloan reported South Mark Road was left the worst in the county following the harsh winter. He said there wasn’t enough money to sealcoat the county’s roughest roads, but added the county would be spray-patching where needed. Sloan also reported the county was still working on the estimated $40,000 purchase of land from the Spring Valley Boat Club as part of the upcoming work to repair the Bottom Road bridge, a project that will cost a total of $2.2 million, 80 percent of which will be federally funded. Sloan said the county will need to have approximately $371,000 in its Federal Aid Matching Fund for the project to get the remaining state-level funding. “It will be a priority to get that money in that account,” he told the board.

PUTNAM COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT | MCNABB STANDOFF
Marcano expected to be released pending trial
Judge Mack reduces bond to $15,000 BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — Billy J. Marcano, the man who triggered a seven-hour standoff with law enforcement in February, had his bond reduced during a May 16 status hearing in Putnam County Circuit Court. His family was expected to post the required amount shortly afterward so he could be released until his next court date. It was at 1:47 p.m. on Feb. 5 when
the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office received a call that a male, later identified as Marcano, 31, had used a machete to break through a locked interior door in the back of Moreno’s restaurant in McNabb and entered while making threats. He had been renting an apartment adjacent to the restaurant for approximately a year. He is also alleged to have gone to an upstairs apartment and broken in before returning to his residence. He remained there until the standoff ended at about 9 p.m. when he surrendered to law enforcement. After initially being found unfit to stand trial and subsequently receiving mental health care, Marcano’s
behavior in custody has reportedly greatly improved. He was then ruled fit enough to face the court’s charge during a previous hearing. “A condition of his Billy J. release is that he conMarcano tinues to take his prescribed medications and that he also regularly sees a counselor, which is something he didn’t have access to while being held here. Our No. 1 concern is that he receives the care he needs,” Putnam County State’s Attorney Christina Judd-Mennie said after the hearing.
Judge James A. Mack informed Marcano of the conditions of having his bond reduced from $500,000 to $15,000. With 10 percent to apply, his family needed to post $1,500 for his release rather than $50,000. Marcano also agreed he wouldn’t violate the law while free on bond, as well as to a waiver of extradition in the event he left the state before his pending trial for a charge of burglary. Court documents show Marcano will be living with family in Downers Grove. A May 23 status hearing was vacated, and a new hearing was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 1. A trial date has not yet been set.
NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORP.
Baker resigns from economic group to take Chicago position Ivan Baker, president and CEO of the North Central Illinois Economic Development Corp. (NCI) since its founding three years ago, has submitted his resignation effective July 14. Baker has accepted a new position as consulting manager in Credits and Incentives for Crowe LLP in Chicago. Crowe is one of the largest business accounting and consulting firms in the nation, with more than $900 million in annual revenue, and is ranked as one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work for in America. “It is with reluctance that I accept
the resignation of Ivan Baker as the president and CEO of North Central Illinois Economic Development Corporation,” said NCI Chairman Steve Aubry. Ivan “He came to our Baker organization and given the task of developing a regional economic development group that had the sole purpose of marketing the available industrial sites within LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties to the world.

results prove that he has developed a top-notch organization to meet this goal,” Aubry said. “When he started, this area received 4-10 leads per year. We now are receiving 5-6 per month, a 400 percent increase. The major commercial brokers and site selectors of the nation now know that the NCI region has the available sites and workforce. When qualified leads come into our region, complete proposals are submitted quickly. The site selectors know that the region is united and motivated to attract new industrial and manufacturing busi-

NCI is the only organization in the region that is focused on marketing industrial development property to site selectors, consultants, brokers, developers and targeted executives. Only NCI has achieved the significant success in promoting quality sites and regional advantages necessary to compete for new quality jobs in Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties. “It has been an honor and privilege to work with leaders and investors who are truly committed to the economic future of this great region,” Baker said.

Meet the creator of Memorial Day Gen. John Logan of Illinois started observance in 1868 BY CHARLES MILLS Effingham Daily News
M
URPHYSBORO — Civil War General John A. Logan is credited with creating what we know today as Memorial Day, according to the executive director of the museum in Murphysboro that is dedicated to him. Logan was born Feb. 9, 1826, in Jackson County, Ill., on family property that became a part of the city of Murphysboro in 1843. “Gen. Logan founded Memorial Day as a national holiday,” said P. Michael Jones, executive director of the General John A. Logan Museum. “He did that when he issued General Order No. 11 on May 5, 1868, as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, sometimes referred to as the GAR.” Jones said several cities have claimed to be the first to observe Memorial Day — or Decoration Day, as it was called after the Civil War. “The question is not who started the Memorial Day we have today, it was John A. Logan,” Jones said. “The question is, where did Logan get his idea?” Jones said historians have several
theories about where it started. However, according to research, newspapers printed in the 1930s and 1940s stated Memorial Day started in the South. Jones said today some Southern states observe Confederate Memorial Day. In her book “Reminiscences of a Soldier’s Wife: An Autobiography,” Logan’s wife, Mary Logan, wrote about her March 1868 visit to Virginia: “In the churchyard near Petersburg we saw hundreds of the graves of Confederate soldiers. These graves had upon them small bleached Confederate flags and faded flowers.” She said her husband, Gen. Logan, was interested in her trip when she returned and told him how touched she was to see the decorated graves. Gen. Logan issued the General Order to observe Memorial Day two months later, in May 1868. However, Jones said historians believe John A. Logan should have been aware of the memorial observations being made in the South due to press coverage at the time. Logan, as commander-in-chief of the GAR, a Union veterans organization, issued General Order No. 11, the Memorial Day Order, on May 5, 1868 from the GAR Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Jones said the GAR was a precursor to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. At the time he issued his General Order, Logan was also an Illinois representative-at-large of the U.S.

The Memorial Day General Order states: “The 30th of May, 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. “Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds about them with the choicest flowers of springtime.
“It is the purpose of the commander in chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades.” According to Jones, Logan’s General Order is still read during Memorial Day ceremonies around the United States.

PUTNAM COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
PERU POLICE DEPARTMENT
Criminal trespass At 6:05 p.m. on May 13, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office responded to a location on Hennepin-Florid Road and located a 17-year-old from Oglesby on property the individual had previously been warned to not trespass on. A report will be filed with the Putnam County State’s Attorney’s Office for charges of criminal trespass to property. Single-vehicle crash At 7:54 a.m. on May 14, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle crash on Route 89 in Granville Township. A vehicle driven by a 16-year-old from Peru went off the road, over-corrected, left the road again, and overturned. No injuries were reported and no charges were filed. Putnam County EMS provided assistance.
School threat received by state Sen. Rezin’s office PERU — Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei announced the arrest of Steven A. Tutko, 33, following an intensive investigation by members of the Peru Police Department patrol division, detective division and Special Investigations Unit. The LaSalle County state’s attorney, as well as the Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center, also assisted during the investigative phase. Tutko, who lives at 2830 Fourth St., Trailer 30, in Peru is charged with the Class 4 felony of making a threat to school building or person, with bond set at $100,000. He was arrested at 12:45 p.m. May 14 at his residence. On May 13, a Peru Police officer responded to the Peru offices of 38th District state Sen. Sue Rezin. The sen-
ator’s office had received a voice mail where an individual made very specific threats to commit a mass shooting at “a school.” The matter was treated as the highest of priorities and overnight efforts to identify a potential suspect continued. The threat was only to “a school,” with no specific school, city, or county mentioned or named. As a precaution, the appropriate measures were taken to make sure local schools were safe and secure. Based on the investigation, Peru Police identified a person of interest by the morning of May 14 and immediately presented the facts to the office of the LaSalle County state’s attorney. The state’s attorney approved a felony charge against the defendant for threats to a school building and persons, and
Judge Michael Janz signed a warrant over the noon hour May 14. At the same time, Peru Police obtained a search warrant for the residence of the defendant. The home of the defendant was placed under police surveillance after the suspect was identified and while the warrants were being obtained. At 12:45 p.m. May 14, members of the Peru Police Department’s Emergency Response Team executed the search warrant and took the defendant into custody. The unit is a tactical response team consisting of officers who have undergone special training in tactical response and search warrant tactics. The charge in this case, as in all criminal cases, is an allegation, and the defendant enjoys the presumption of innocence.

HENNEPIN VILLAGE BOARD
Board agrees to make one last attempt to contact owner of Sycamore Street house BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Village Board agreed to continue with demolition proceedings regarding an abandoned Sycamore Street property during its May 15 meeting. Village attorney Sheryl Churney reported the property’s title search had come back clean. “I recommend the board make one last effort to contact the property owner to request they transfer ownership of the property to the village through a quit claim deed. This will result in a faster demolition process,” Churney said before the board agreed to the recommendation. Chur ney also recommended approval of a zoning ordinance change regarding solar and wind farms that the zoning commis-
sion had previously a n d u n a n i m o u s ly approved. “This paves the way for the future if the village gets a request for a solar farm. Hennepin will be in a Kevin unique position for Coleman development with the Hennepin way it’s expanded,” village she said before the president board approved the change. The board then agreed to the requests from Hennepin Marine regarding their donation of property that will allow access to the planned foot bridge over Coffee Creek and into the nature refuge. They requested a permanent easement onto the property, that the boundaries be flagged prior to signing the agreement, that a gate be
installed on their remaining property, and that the village pay the closing costs. Churney said the requests were all very reasonable and not out of the ordinary, and the board agreed.
In other news • The board approved the budget for the village’s recreation programs. • Village engineer Bill Shafer reported progress has been made regarding the reseeding and improvements of areas disturbed by last year’s street projects. Delays have been the result of recent heavy rains. • The board approved the revised liquor licenses. • The board approved a $1,000 donation to the after-school program and $50 to the Granville Cruise.

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
Legislators stand together on increased gas tax Lawmakers considering every revenue option for infrastructure plan by end of session May 31 BY JERRY NOWICKI and GRANT MORGAN Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com gmorgan@capitolnewsillinois.com SPRINGFIELD — A new report says subpar roads in Illinois are costing drivers $1,300 to $2,600 in repair, safety and congestion costs each year, and that number will increase if the state does not take action on an infrastructure bill this legislative session. Unveiling the report May 15 at the Capitol, representatives of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce joined one Democrat and two Republican lawmakers who said they are ready to take the lead on an infrastructure bill, and all sources of revenue — including hikes to the motor fuel tax
and vehicle registration fees — are on the table. “You can’t build 21st century infrastructure with 1990s money. There isn’t enough efficiency, there isn’t enough reform, you just can’t do it,” said Republican Rep. Margo McDermed of Mokena. “We still need to look at the fact that our buying power has plummeted because cars are much more efficient and we don’t get as much money in, No. 1. And No. 2, inflation. We haven’t raised that (gas tax) number since 1990.” McDermed joined the two other lawmakers, Sen. Martin Sandoval (D-Chicago) and Don DeWitte (R-St. Charles), in saying the independent report by national transportation research group, TRIP, demonstrates the cost of inaction on an infrastructure bill. “The real question we have to ask is, ‘What is the cost if we do nothing?’” DeWitte said. “(The report) is more evidence that the longer we wait, not only do things get worse, but the more expensive it becomes.” The report estimates drivers in Illi-
nois face $18.3 billion in annual vehicle costs as a result of rough roads, traffic crashes, and lost time and wasted fuel caused by congestion. In Springfield, that boils down to about $1,300 per person per year. In the Chicago area, it amounts to about $2,600 each year. Sandoval, who chairs the Senate committee that has been touring the state to hear from local officials about infrastructure needs, is sponsoring legislation to raise the state’s gas tax by up to 25 cents while hiking vehicle registration fees. He said his proposal, which would raise $2.4 billion in revenue, is a launching point for discussions on a capital bill. “I think it’s a hypocrisy on behalf of our state to consider ourselves to be the crossroads and hub of America when we don’t necessarily take a real public and personal interest in upkeeping our infrastructure. We’ve fallen behind for far too long,” Sandoval said. Sandoval did not give specifics on what measures, if any, lawmakers were considering to drive down
labor or project costs rather than upping taxes and fees, though he said they would be included in a final bill. McDermed said her Will County district is in dire need of infrastructure improvements. Specifically, she said a twin bridge on Interstate 80, which is one of the worst-rated in the state, has caused her constituents to alter their traffic patterns. “People in my district are telling me they take the side streets to get where they’re going,” McDermed said. “They don’t take the bridge anymore. … This is unacceptable.” The lawmakers acknowledged increasing fees or the gas tax will be a difficult sell for some of their colleagues, but “literally every number is on the table, because every member is having input into this process,” DeWitte said. McDermed said a 2016 constitutional amendment that mandates the use of gas tax and licensing fee dollars for transportation infrastructure and safety use will ensure new revenues are not diverted from road and bridge projects.

Tiskilwa woman cited after striking IDOT construction flagger in DePue Worker treated and released from hospital PCR STAFF news@putnamcountyrecord.com DEPUE — A Tiskilwa woman was cited after striking an Illinois Department of Transportation flagger on Route 29 in DePue around 8:44 a.m. Thursday, May 16. According to an Illinois State
Police press release, a vehicle driven by Agnes Dunn, 86, was traveling eastbound on Route 29, just east of 2850 East Street, when Dunn failed to observe a stop sign being displayed by John Kowalczyk, 68, of Peru, who is a member of the highway construction/maintenance zone crew working on Route 29. The right side of Dunn’s vehicle struck Kowalczyk and the stop sign he was holding, resulting in minor injuries to Kowalczyk. He was trans-
ported to an area hospital, where he was treated and released. Dunn was charged with failure to yield to a worker within a construction/maintenance zone and disobeying a traffic control device. ISP District 17 Commander Jason LoCoco reminds all motorists of the need to remain attentive while operating a vehicle. “The lives and well-being of our troopers and other emergency services personnel often depend on how attentive you are while driving,”
Yepsen Chiropractic
LoCoco stated in the release. “You must always reduce your speed when approaching emergency vehicles, move to an adjacent lane when possible, and stop when necessary. This also extends to vehicles disabled along the roadway, and to the men and women who work to maintain our highways. “It is common sense, common courtesy, and it is the law. We are grateful Mr. Kowalczyk’s injuries were not more serious,” LoCoco stated.

The Hennepin branch of the Putnam County Libraries was awarded $7,507.50. “I am proud of the outstanding service Illinois’ public libraries provide to our communities,” White said. “Our libraries are the best and most reliable information resource available to citizens, and I am pleased to be able to provide these grants each year.” Some of the valuable services public libraries provide with these grants include large-print material, books, magazines, newspapers, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, eBooks,
home visit book delivery services, new computers, iPads, printers, Spanish and dual language materials, expanded access to online resources, adult programming, newsletters, postcards, and other promotional materials.

PERU
PRINCETON
PERU — The 36th annual St. Bede Auction, “A Night to Roar,” closed out another fabulous night of generosity. Making history, St. Bede’s Fund-A-Need for the first time hit six figures. St. Bede exceeded its goal of $90,000, to fulfill a new Safety and Security Initiative with a Turn Key Campus-Wide Video Surveillance System. With a lead gift of $10,000 from the Miller Group Charitable Trust, paddles were raised high from the $15,000 to $100 level. At the $100 level, Kim Keutzer, from the class of 1970, offered a match for every donation of $100 up to $5,000, and match they did with 52 paddles raised at that $100 level. The night once again was a sell out, with more than 320 people in attendance and more than 100 new attendees. The return of mobile bidding was a great success. “The ability to mobile bid has truly impacted the auction to make our goal,” stated Bonnie Prokup, who manages and oversees the auction each year. “Every year it gets better and better, and everyone loves how easy it is and that anyone can be involved, no matter where you are,” added Prokup. John Spencer, as master of ceremonies, and Catholic Charity Auctioneers Chad and Jill Coe from Deefield teamed up this year for the live auction. Some of those highlights included an exclusive Silver Oak Package donated by David and Kary Duncan, which sold for $16,500, and the exclusive Rich Harvest Farms package in which Jerry Rich will generously match.
Quite the hit was St. Bede’s Golden ticket. One hundred people had the opportunity to pre-select one of the live auction items for $100 a ticket. Golden tickets were sold out before dinner with the winner being announced right before the live auction and walking away with their chosen four tickets to the attend a Cubs game in the exclusive “W Club.” “The generosity from our St. Bede family was incredibly moving Saturday night. We are truly blessed as this is what makes it possible to keep our tuition affordable and offer a Catholic education to young people in the Illinois Valley,” stated Abbot Philip Davey, O.S.B. Davey continued, “We are grateful for all those that were sponsors and underwriters for the auction. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, The J.A. Happ Family Foundation; our Spirit of St. Bede sponsor, Geneva Holdinigs LLC; and our Green and White sponsors, Cawley Chicago and Tee Group Films. The net numbers are still being finalized, but Development Director Julia Yaklich has stated that all numbers indicate that they have netted more than $300,000 and this will be a banner year for the St. Bede Auction. “Bonnie Prokup has done an outstanding job in the organization and execution to make this event possible and to reach these amazing totals for St. Bede,” stated Yaklich. “We are deeply grateful to hundreds of people for volunteering, attending, donating and bringing us to such a level of success.”
Prairie Arts Council auditions for ‘Death Trap’ scheduled for June 1-2 PRINCETON — The Prairie Arts Council will hold auditions for its production of “Death Trap” at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 1, and 7 p.m. Sunday, June 2, at the PAC Theater, 24 Park Ave. East in Princeton. “DeathTrap” holds the record for the longest-running comedy/ thriller on Broadway. Written by Ira Levin, author of “Rosemary’s Baby,” the PAC’s production of “DeathTrap” is presented in conjunction with Homestead Festival weekend and by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc. Performances will take place Sept. 6-8. The play tells the tale of a once-successful playwright, attempting to murder a former student and claim the student’s work as his own. Plot twists and surprises abound in this play-within-a-play production. When asked about the show, director Joseph Ennenbach replied that “Deathtrap is the most cleverly constructed thriller I have ever
encountered, with a plot that both shocks the audience and, at times, makes it laugh.” During auditions, Ennenbach will be looking for two females and three males for lead roles, ages mid-20’s and older. For questions about the auditions, contact Ennenbach at nnbox@hotmail.com or 815-4880633. Perusal scripts are available. Any person who wishes to audition but is unavailable that weekend can schedule an alternate date. Persons with an interest in theater, with or without previous experience, are encouraged to become involved in the show. Volunteers are always needed for stage, set and house crews. To volunteer, or for more information on how you can help, contact PAC on Facebook at Prairie Arts Council or leave a message at 815-875-2787. Prairie Arts Council programming is funded in part by grants from the Illinois Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Church Women United.

MENDOTA 2A SOFTBALL REGIONAL: HALL 4, PUTNAM COUNTY 3
Lady Panthers fall to Hall in regional action Putnam County ends softball season with a 9-12 record BY TOMMY ROSE news@putnamcountyrecord.com SPRING VALLEY — The roller coaster season of the Hall softball team was given yet another turn to make as the Lady Devils defeated the Putnam County Lady Panthers in dramatic comeback fashion 4-3 to begin 2A regional play at home on May 13. Sara Perkins’ two-run double to just barely inside the center field fence sent pinch runner Josie Barroso and Gabby Englehaupt across home plate and gave Hall (10-19) the lead for good, sending them into the May 14 regional semifinals against favorite Orion. “I felt a little pressure up there because we were down,” Perkins said. “I just told myself to relax up there, put myself in a state of mind where I can focus on the ball more, because I knew I could put the ball in play.” “Sara really stepped up and had a couple of huge at-bats, a triple and a double. When we needed ’em, we had ’em,” Hall coach Brian Holman said. After three scoreless innings, it was Hall gaining the early advantage in the fourth when a successful bunt by Zoe Morris (2-4, 1 RBI), aided by a dropped ball at first base, would send Hanah Hart home to give the Lady Devils a 1-0 lead. “It was pretty obvious early we weren’t going to get on the pitching, for whatever reason,” Holman said. “We had to do some bunting and move things around to do what we had to do.” PC wasted little time in responding, with Grace Ebel sending Morgan Hundley and Savannah Tucker home on a double, then herself scoring thanks to an RBI single by Megan Wiesbrock to put the Lady Panthers up 3-1. Holman turned to the bunt again to stir up his offense, and it proved productive when Hannah Parente (2-4, 1 RBI) scored Perkins in the bottom of the fourth inning to narrow the gap to 3-2. “Yeah, we work on that,” Holman said. “We missed a few spots even, too, but if Morgan’s (Filippini) gonna keep us in a game like that, we’ve got to put some runs up on the

board for her.” And Perkins (2-4, 2 RBI) gave her all the extra runs she needed with
her go-ahead double. Two pop flies and strikeout in the top of the seventh took PC out of the
game and secured the win for the Lady Devils. Hall winning pitcher Morgan Filippini worked a complete game, striking out three while allowing only one walk. “She was really good tonight, moving the ball around,” Holman said. “Hopefully she’ll have tomorrow (May 14) what she had tonight. If she does, it gives us a chance to win.” The Lady Panthers finish their season at 9-12 under first-year coach Angie Heiser, a former PC player herself. “I asked them to do two things for me before this game,” Heiser said. “Give me energy the whole time, give me effort on every single pitch, and they did that for me. “It was great. We held the lead for a little bit, but we just didn’t have enough for us to get the job done today. But, I’m proud of my kids.”

Putnam County picks up extra-inning win The Putnam County Panthers, trailing for much of the game against visiting Plano, tied it up in the bottom of the seventh, then pushed across a run in the bottom of the eighth for a 3-2 win on May 10. PC took an early lead with a run in the first, only to have Plano score two in the second to go out in front, 2-1.
That lead held up for Plano until the Panthers’ last at-bat in regulation, when Putnam County tied it in the seventh. In extra innings, Plano went scoreless in the top of the eighth, then PC scored a run in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win. Dan Sabotta pitched the final two innings for the win, striking out three and holding Plano
scoreless. Luke Carlson pitched the first six innings, giving up two runs and striking out nine. Scoring runs for PC were Nolan Whitney, Jacob Williams and Brayden Holmes. Caleb Tonozzi led the Panthers with two hits. Putnam County got the win despite committing five errors.

Christian in five-inning run-rule fashion, 14-3. The Lady Panthers fell behind after one inning, 3-1, then scored the game’s next 13 runs, two in the second, six in the third and five in the fifth, to secure the win, while shutting out Peoria Christian the rest of the way. Morgan Hundley and Linzee Fay led PC in scoring with three runs each, and Hundley had three of her team’s 11 hits, two of them doubles. Also doubling was Savannah Tucker.
Haley Cioni pitched a complete-game victory.
Putnam County 2-6, Lowpoint-Washburn 1-3: The Lady Panthers picked
up 2-1 and 6-3 wins over Lowpoint-Washburn May 10. Pitcher Haley Cioni held L-W to one run and struck out seven as PC broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh to emerge victorious, 2-1. Skylar Grevengoed scored both of PC’s runs, collecting three of the team’s five hits in the process. The other game saw PC jump out to a 4-0 lead after one and pick up two more runs in the fifth to prevail over L-W, which scored single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Grace Ebel scored two runs to lead Putnam County. Savannah Tucker got the win, going six innings on the mound.
