The devil is in the details

Board discusses need for clarity in drug and alcohol policy

By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — When Granville village attorney Brad Popurella asked if anyone at the village board meeting had any suggested corrections or changes they wanted in regards to the drug and alcohol policy, it provided the debate of the evening — vagueness or specifics?

Trustee Randy Borio began the March 7 discussion by suggesting anyone who gets a paycheck from the village, with the exception of the contracted village attorney and village engineer, should be subject to

the testing policy, including board members.

Trustee Tina Dolder said she thought that was the policy’s intention, but Borio replied he’d like it spelled out; he added the disciplinary action portion of the policy was far too vague and without any clearly defined steps of graduated procedures.

“I think it depends on the situation,” Dolder said.

“But it’s not spelled out. In a situation like this, we need to make sure we cover as many of the bases as we can,” Borio said. Dolder responded every scenario can’t be included.

Borio suggested it address the different degrees of seriousness with accidents. He described a theoretical accident involving serious bodily harm or death where an employee could be subject to termination and then a minor situation with no harm and a first offense where the employee could be informed of treatment options and encouraged to seek treatment.

“We need to be clear. The more clear this is the better off we’ll be.

I’d like to see it spelled out for a first offense, a second offense and a third offense,” Borio said.

Seeds of spring HENNEPIN — “Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to the garden I go,” sang Barb Dahlbach in a happy burst of song celebrating the beginning of gardening season and the start of another year of the University of Illinois Extension’s award-winning Healthy Gardening program.

Visiting the Hennepin Library on the evening of March 9 with fellow master gardener Mary May of LaSalle County, the two experienced gardeners were on hand to share advice and answer the questions of local gardeners as part of “From Seeds to Harvest.”

“From Seeds to Harvest” is the portion of the larger Healthy Gardening program which encourages residents to feed their families fresh and healthy food by growing their own gardens. Throughout the entire season, Master Gardeners are available to help ensure a bountiful harvest.

Early in the season, programs are held throughout the area which teach how to properly plan and prepare a garden, along with the possible challenges and how to overcome them.

The next step of the program is to visit area food pantries to distribute seeds and plants.

The future looks bright

Virtual reality brings fun to 2nd annual College and Career Expo

By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — Planning the future is serious business, but the second annual College and Career Expo showed it can also be fun. The virtual reality (VR) simulators brought by both IVCC and Local 150 of the Union of Operating Engineers had students, their families and even people from the other booths waiting in line for some educational play.

Held in the gymnasium and cafeteria of Putnam County High School on the evening of March 2, the expo was quite a bit larger than last year’s inaugural event.

Details From Page 1 “I’d like to hope we don’t run into that,” Dolder said.

Borio agreed but said, unfortunately, there was a very realistic chance the village could someday have to use it, adding the more things the policy can cover before being put in place the better off the village would be.

“I understand that sometimes if a law is vague, it works to everyone’s advantage, but sometimes when a policy is vague — what it does is work against someone. I don’t want this to work against the village, and I certainly don’t want it to work against our employees,” he said.

When Trustee Jared Baker said he thought if an employee was drunk or high on the job that they shouldn’t have a chance for a second offense, Borio advised caution.

“If it involves a piece of machinery or a public vehicle that means they’re probably going to lose their license and won’t be able to do their job,” Trustee Jim Pettit said.

“Does it say that anywhere in any of our policies that you have a license to do your job?” Borio asked.

Dolder responded that

The 2016 expo featured representatives from 28 colleges and 18 careers. This year’s event hosted 33 colleges and 27 careers.

“We’ve received tremendous support from the district, and the school and career representatives we approached were all very receptive. Last year we had 122 people in attendance, and this year we’re at 164; so we’re very happy with how it’s grown. Next year’s expo will be even better,” John Heiser, ag science teacher and expo organizer, said.

Colleges were hosted in the gymnasium, and IVCC’s table near the door was busy throughout the evening because of their new VR welding simulator. When used for testing and training purposes, it analyzes all aspects of a proper weld and displays them on the screen.

Prospective welders donned a welding helmet with glasses show-

ing a realistic simulation, complete with flying sparks, on a television screen as the welders simulated welding a piece of steel.

The representatives from the career field were hosted in the cafeteria, and they had their own VR displays. Local 150 of the Operating Engineers had a popular VR drone set-up where pilots could simulate flight on a high-definition screen, but it was their heavy equipment simulator which drew rave reviews.

Sitting in a chair with controls capable of simulating either a Caterpillar or John Deere excavator, those in attendance were taught what it takes to safely excavate earth and load a dump truck.

“This is pretty awesome; it’s a lot of fun,” said Ashley Johnson, a PCHS senior who’s looking toward a future in agricultural education, as she quickly got the hang of

operating a John Deere excavator.

“The drone simulator was started mostly just to grab kid’s attention, but the excavator simulator is something we use ourselves to train,” said Lance Yednock, business agent for Local 150.

Yednock also discussed the many careers available through Local 150 and their impressive training facility, saying a career in the construction field is an often overlooked option for students considering their future.

Between the colleges offering education in dozens of different fields, the military, and the many local businesses in attendance, PCHS students seem to have a wide array of paths to choose from as they prepare to step into their futures.

The third annual College and Career Expo is already scheduled for March 6, 2018.

Q&A with Granville village trustee candidates Robert J. ‘Bob’ Fescenmeyer Experience: Twice appointed to village board to fill empty seats at the request of the village president; retired Navy Chief Petty Officer What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. I believe the most important is to find the funds necessary to fix the infrastructure and roads of the village. They’ve been in (disrepair) for a lot of years and are breaking down badly. Case in point, McCoy Street badly needs repaving.

2. Attempt to have more members of the village attend the meetings, so they understand what is happening in their village. They, the board, need the input of the villagers.

3. We have a city that borders our village, but there seems to be animosity between the two, The village of Granville and Mark. We need to become friends and work together on the problems we both have.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: We have a problem here in Illinois in that there are less than adequate funds available for all the projects the village needs.

We, the village trustees, must insure we spend the taxpayers’ money responsibly and try to get the most out of the bucks available.

What changes will you make if you are elected: Must enthuse the residents to start showing up for village meetings. They need the input of the residents to address the problems of the village correctly.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: The voters should understand I have been taught to be trustworthy my whole life. While in the Navy I learned that the people are the most important thing in everything I do. Also, I will work hard trying to improve the infrastructure of the village.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens: I do not believe in making promises to the voters because there are five other trustees I must work with, and they have their own ideas. Rather I will work diligently to care for the village and taxpayers to the best of my ability.

Shelby Osborne Experience: Through my college education I gained experience and knowledge in community involvement and business management. During high school I was a part of the Illinois High School Rodeo Association and gained experience in public speaking, leadership and working as a team. I have work experience as a manager in a customer service department, have worked as a CNA at our local hospitals, and am now teaching. Through my work experience I have effectively worked with people of all ages and backgrounds and have also had the opportunity to take on leadership roles.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. To work with the village board and community to improve the roads in Granville.

2. To work towards making our city more attractive and appealing than it already is. I believe we have a wonder-

changes, there’s nothing in particular I’d like to address. One change I want to make is bringing a new set of eyes, ears and a new voice with a new perspective to the village board.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I’m young, ambitious, and I care about our community. I want to invest myself and my time into our community, so it can be the best it can. I’m fully aware the decisions we make will affect ourselves individually, our neighbors, our children, and the future of our village. I’ll be walking into the village board unbiased with a fresh set of opinions. I want to be a voice for the people of Granville and to do my part to serve my community.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens: To listen, to be available, to be honest and to hear the citizens’ concerns and what matters to them. I promise to always put their interests first.

Jeff Greathouse Experience: Served as trustee and president of the Putnam County Conservation District, was a member of the Granville Fire Department and served as secretary/treasurer for 12 years. Served as a seasonal employee of the village of Granville during winter season plowing streets and alleys for many years.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. To keep an open communication and mind between the taxpayers/citizens and the village board. This is my top priority if elected. Also to be available for any concerns or questions the citizens of Granville bring to the village board’s attention.

2. Make sure taxpayers’/citizens’ money is spent beneficially to the

ful community, and I’d like that to be obvious in all aspects of our town.

3. To get more young adults involved in their community. I want everyone in our village, including all age groups, to feel as if they are aware of what is going on in their own town and feel welcomed to participate in all aspects of our community. Everyone should be informed as to where their tax dollars are going and why. With that, every citizen should feel as if they have a voice in regards to where their tax dollars are being spent.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: I’ll do my best to prioritize where taxpayers’ money goes. I’ll try to hear the people’s comments and concerns and address those first and foremost and will work with the board to stay within budget.

What changes will you make if you are elected: Until I’m more familiar with specific subjects that may need

needs and not wants of the village and its taxpayers/citizens.

3. Make sure employees and board members are held accountable for their jobs and positions. Also make sure if it’s not a job the village is able to do on its own, that unless it’s an emergency, that the project goes out for bids.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: I will be fiscally responsible to taxpayers by making sure the citizens’/taxpayers’ money is spent wisely by needs and not wants.

We need to not overspend.

What changes will you make if you are elected: I have no changes planned.

I’d just like to be able to help better each village department.

for you: As a lifelong Granville resident I’ve seen a lot of changes in our village, some good and some bad, good times and bad. I think we need changes in the board for new ideas and future plans and goals. I’ll make decisions on topics based on facts, not by whose idea it was or who is involved.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens: I’ll be available by phone or in person for all concerns or questions. I will not be a trustee who agrees with decisions I don’t think are in the best interest of the taxpayers/citizens and the village. I’d also like to see the village keep moving in a positive direction and welcome any new or expanded existing businesses while maintaining a balanced village checkbook.

Q&A with Granville village trustee candidates

Tri-DENT arrests Marseilles man

Tina (Bergen) Dolder I’ll continue to work with different organizations to bring youth activities to our village to help our youth stay active.

3. One of the most important goals as a trustee is to be available to the citizens you serve. I promise to always be someone you can discuss your questions and concerns about our village with, and I’ll always do whatever I can to address them. Also, I encourage all of our residents to come to the village board meetings and hold us accountable.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: I’ll take a more active role in looking over bills and will ask the hard questions when necessary. Being from a small community, we always have to find ways to stretch our tax dollars as far as possible and still be able to offer the services our citizens need and deserve.

What changes will you make if you are elected: I’ll continue to work

hard for the citizens of Granville.

Why should voters vote for you: I think it’s important for people to vote for someone who works hard and cares about the people they serve, and I do. An example of this is for the past two years I’ve chaired the police committee. One of the goals I had was to find a way to offer our police officers a competitive wage.

For years we’ve invested money in training new officers only to see them move on to other agencies that could offer a higher wage. Now we’re able to offer a competitive wage which should give our officers an incentive to stay.

What promises will you make and keep to the citizens: To always be accessible to the citizens I serve.

I’ll always be someone who will listen to their concerns and questions about our village and do what I can to help. I promise to remain an active member of the board and to ask the hard questions when it’s necessary.

Robert ‘Bob’ Bruch Experience: I have none but willing to learn.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. Work on improving the current infrastructure.

2. Entice new business to our village.

3. Work responsibly to adopt a

budget to keep the property tax low as possible.

In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: As a taxpayer also, it only makes sense that the decisions I make will be good for all taxpayers, including myself.

What changes will you make if

you are elected: I see no immediate changes necessary at this time.

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I’m approachable and on the job 24/7.

What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens: I will give my all.

During the search, TriDENT agents located less than one gram of an unlawfully acquired substance containing soboxone and drug paraphernalia associated with the use of heroin.

Following Tri-DENT’s investigation, Roe was charged and is being held in the LaSalle County Jail.

ISP announce results of Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 announced the results of an Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) held in LaSalle County during February.

These OREPs provide extra patrol coverage for the ISP so officers can focus on saving lives by making sure all vehicle occupants were buckled-up.

During the detail, there were 24 citations given for safety belt violations.

There were zero citations issued for child restraint

violations.

Officers issued a total of 26 citations during the OREP and gave four warnings for other violations.

Most motorists know safety belts save lives, but some ignore their safety and that of their families by neglecting to use safety belts and child restraint devices.

These patrols reinforce the occupant protection message by focusing on those who ignore the law.

Lives can be saved if people simply buckle-up.

Experience: I’ve served on the Granville Village Board as a trustee for the past four years. I’m a member of the Putnam County Rotary Club, CPASA, and I coach summer softball.

What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: 1. Many of the businesses in our village are located on McCoy Street, and the board has worked with our engineer to develop a plan to improve it. I’ll continue to work with the board to explore grant opportunities, and when we’re able to receive grant money, I’ll make it a goal to proceed. Part of this goal is to also make sure we work with our local businesses to ensure there are minimal disruptions.

2. Our youth are important to me because they’re our future. I think it’s important to continue to improve our parks, so they have a safe and enjoyable place to play and are a place for families to enjoy.

James R. Roe, 34, of Marseilles was charged with the Class 4 felony of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (soboxone) after being arrested by the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (Tri-DENT) with the assistance of the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Response Team (TRT) at 5:02 a.m.

Seeds From Page 1 If unable to have a large garden, the program will also provide soil and containers for a patio garden.

“Seeing people’s reaction when they realize you’re helping to provide their families with homegrown, fresh and healthy food when they didn’t think it was possible is what makes it worthwhile,” said Dahlbach.

She added when people are living with the immediate stress of a financial struggle, the initial investment a garden requires, while a value in the long run, isn’t something people will typically make.

“From Seeds to Harvest” and the work of Master Gardeners seeks to help with that struggle.

Much of the Hennepin Library program focused on starting seeds indoors, with topics including selecting the proper seeds, hardiness zones, soil-less media, seed trays, watering, lighting, ventilation, timers, heating pads, labeling, garden design, and the care of seedlings and their transition to life in the garden.

Weed control, mulching and composting were also addressed. Gardeners learned what can and can’t be composted, how to avoid common mis-

takes, different methods, and how to incorporate it into the garden for the best results.

Another critical concern was the danger lawn treatments, pesticides and herbicides can have on a garden. Dahlbach and May both advised against using anything chemically treated in mulch or compost.

“Unless you feel it is absolutely necessary to use chemicals, we don’t like to recommend their use. And if you do, great care must be taken not only for the plants, but for all of the pollinators. We must care for and help the bees,” said Dahlbach, who added the massive collapse of colonies is a concern which must be kept in mind.

The Master Gardeners also visited with and spoke with an eighth-grade student who happened to be at the library that night using the computers. He remembered Dahlbach from when he was in fifth-grade and took part in the Cool Weather Garden project, another part of the Healthy Gardening program.

Each year the fifth-grade students at Hennepin’s elementary school prepare, grow, care for and harvest their own classroom gardens. After harvest, the students eat a salad they’ve grown themselves.

Dona Burwell Dona Morine Burwell, 90, died Thursday, Jan. 19, 2017.

She was born Nov. 11, 1926, in Hennepin. She graduated from Millikin University in Decatur, where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. It was there that she met Allen Burwell, who would become her husband. Dona and the late LTC (USAF retired) Thornton Allen Burwell were married for 53 years prior to his death in 2002.

Dona enjoyed many years as an Air Force wife — and the rewards of living in new places and meeting new friends.

Teaching that ‘old dog’ new tricks Television shows, at least during the daytime, try to help me learn how to do things. You know what I mean — how to organize my closet, how to keep the plastic containers in my kitchen organized, how to keep your laundry area a happy place, COMMENTARY how to make your life easier, happier, richer. The list goes on and on.

I, for the most part, don’t pay too much attention to all of this, in my head calling much of it nonsense.

My thinking begins with the old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, with myself being the “old dog.”

My closet could use some organizing, but the space is small, and do I really want to try to make it better? I have accepted it the way it is. The years when I was working away from home I could have used an overhaul of my closet, but I was too busy to ever get it done, and now, I have more time on my hands, so I can just deal with it. See, I talked myself right out of that!

I do keep the plastic containers in my kitchen organized — I don’t have very many. That one thing keeps their organization pretty simple. I figured that one out on my own. Quite a few years ago I rid myself and my space of all of the miscellaneous butter dishes, mismatched lids belonging to some long ago Rubbermaid set that the dish matching the lids had been used by my grandsons for catching worms or frogs, and the deli containers with the crack that only leak if you fill them to the top. After cleaning out the clutter, I purchased two small sets of locking plastic containers, and those are what I use. I decided that less is more works for the plastic container situation.

If I don’t have a container, I put it in a plastic bag.

Simple? Right!

Moving along to my laundry area. Well, there’s little joy in my laundry space. That space is shared by a furnace, a water heater, a refrigerator, a wall cabinet, and the requisite washer and dryer. You are thinking great — must be a large space. Ummmm, not so much. It’s a pretty small space actually. I forgot there is also a stepon, kitchen garbage can in the space. So, here’s the thing — what do I do with the space? Paint it a cheerful color? Well maybe, but it is open to my kitchen, and I like for it to be coordinated so not sure about that one.

I keep it tidy, that’s about the limit.

So I have exhausted the big self-improvement topics I listed, but I did happen to catch someone talking about ways to make cleaning easier. This was a topic I could get behind. I like my house to look nice, but cleaning in and of itself isn’t my favorite task. I can easily be distracted from cleaning by just about anything. Anyway, the “expert” was explaining there were ways to make cleaning your house quicker — I’m all about that.

The first few ideas all seemed to involve the use of “microfiber” cloths. These cloths seemed to be good for a variety of purposes. The cynic in me wondered if the expert was being paid by some microfiber company. I did learn during the few minutes I watched that unfortunately, after all of these years, I have been dusting my furniture all wrong. Who knew? If I can’t figure this out, I may have to give up dusting. Don’t look at the dust if you come to my house. OK? Anyway, after we got through all the microfiber do everything cloths, at the end of the segment, the person had a good idea. Here goes: Do you have cloth lampshades in your home? If you do, you know they can sometimes be difficult to keep free of dust and lint. So, here’s a simple trick to get that dust and lint off. Use a lint roller. You know the kind I mean — the ones with the sticky roll that you use and then pull off a new, fresh, sticky sheet. All of you have probably been doing this for years, but not me. I have been struggling with lampshade dust for 40 years! No more!

I turned my TV off; I found my lint roller; and I now have clean, dust free, lampshades. It’s a miracle.

I’m not sure if there is a lesson in all of this, but if there is, that lesson might be that you are never too old to learn something new. At least, I’m not — I just need to find the one great thing out of the sea of other things.

I don’t own a pink shirt. I found that out the other day when we had Breast Cancer Awareness Day at work. Anyone who wanted to show their support for the cause was to wear some sort of pink on their personage. I went home and discovered I don’t own anything of that color.

So I did what every red-blooded, American macho man would do — I got in my wife’s drawers.

I told her the whole pink shirt thing was optional, and it wasn’t really that big of a deal. She reminded me that I’m new at this job, and it would be nice to show that I’m a team player. It became her mission to dress me properly for the occasion. I was basically her life-size Ken doll.

She asked me if I was sure I didn’t own a pink shirt because she thought that she had purchased one for me a long time ago. I told her that maybe she did, but that I had no idea where it was, which was true because I’m pretty sure that I “lost” that particular article of clothing a long, long time ago.

What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

She told me not to worry, that she had just the shirt for me. She opened up her bottom drawer and started digging. Clothes were flying haphazardly to the left and to the right. Whatever it was she was looking for was located at the very bottom of the aforementioned drawer. Not only was I going to be attired in women’s clothing against my better judgment, but I was going to be wearing something that even she didn’t wear very often, or ever. Now, if I’m going to dabble in

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY cross-dressing, I at least want to be stylish.

She kept looking and suddenly, with a flourish, she joyously raised this bright fuchsia garment and waved it victoriously above her head. She peered at me over her right shoulder, smiled and told me to try it on. With my deepest, sternest, most he-manly voice, I looked her dead in the eye and replied, “OK.” As I slid my big old melon of a head through the neck hole, I was praying to myself that it wouldn’t fit. How would a big rough and tumble dude like me be able to explain to people why I was wearing pink, the most girly of hues. As I slid my elbows through the arm holes, and pulled the bottom of the T-shirt out over my hearty midsection, I began to realize that alas, the shirt just might fit. Or at least fit as good as it can when you have a big old melon-sized head and a hearty midsection.

I kind of figured that since it was a girl’s shirt, there might be a couple certain areas that would not be built for a man’s body. When I looked down, I saw that I filled out those areas rather nicely. I was never more determined to start working out. My wife looked at me and told me that it was a T-shirt, and it’s not gender specific. Me and my

soft flabby areas breathed a sigh of relief.

So there I was, standing in my bedroom wearing a bright pink shirt. The cat rolled its eyes, and I think I heard the dog snicker. I slowly put my glasses on, raised my head and looked at the mirror above the dresser. I was shocked.

I was one hot looking piece of manly eye candy! The dog was just jealous. I started thinking that maybe pink was maybe my new color. It harmonizes well with my rosy cheeks and bloodshot eyes.

Silly me. Here I was, genuinely afraid that I was going to lose my man-card by wearing a pink shirt. I have always thought of myself in the same vane as John Wayne, Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen, and I don’t recall ever seeing any of them wearing pink.

But then again, who knows what they had for underwear.

As I masculinely posed and flexed in the bedroom mirror, I couldn’t help but be astounded at how good I looked in that pink shirt. I’m starting to think that maybe my wife has some other clothes that I should try on. She’s got this one particular blouse and a pair of stirrup pants from 1985 that I can’t help but think would look good on me.

It takes a real manly-man to be able to pull off a bright pink T-shirt.

The only down side that I can see is that it does make my butt look a little big, rosy cheeks and all.

Sugary drink tax would be a bitter pill If you know southern Illinois, you know Ski. Made with real lemon juice, orange juice and pure cane sugar, Ski soda comes in a green glass bottle from a bygone era. It’s the flagship beverage of family-owned Excel Bottling Co. in Breese, Ill. Bill Meier runs the business. His grandfather, Edward “Lefty” Meier, bought the bottling plant in 1936 with reward money he earned for catching a bank robber.

Now, the state of Illinois may rob the Meier family of Lefty’s legacy.

Senate Bill 9, proposed as the Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax Act, would place a penny-per-ounce tax on bottled sugar-sweetened beverages, syrups or powders sold or offered for sale to a retailer for sale to a consumer. It could raise an estimated $560 million annually.

“It would dramatically affect our business,” Meier said. He employs 30 Illinoisans at his plant about 40 miles east of St. Louis and says he would be forced to lay off one person for each 3 percent drop in soda sales.

It’s no wonder new numbers from Philadelphia are making Excel employees nervous. The city introduced a 1.5-cent-per-ounce sugary drink tax at the start of 2017 – nearly doubling the price of many items – and now local businesses are reporting severe beverage sales drops as high as 50 percent. That could mean 15 layoffs for Meier.

Thankfully, Excel is growing at a healthy clip. Rising demand for craft soda in the St. Louis market means they’ve run out of space and are gearing up to build a new distribution center. But it won’t be in the Land of Lincoln. Not if Illinois lawmakers pass the sugary drinks tax, according to Meier.

“We wouldn’t do it in Illinois.

We’d put it in St. Louis,” he said.

Austin Berg COMMENTARY “Why would we keep our business in Illinois?”

Losing Ski to Missouri might not be the only way Illinois shoots itself in the foot with this new tax.

The state’s five pension systems are underfunded by $130 billion.

And the debt is actually much worse than that if the state’s investments don’t hit their expected annual returns of 6.75 percent or higher. Problem is, some of those investments include soft drink companies that would see a decline in business under a statewide soda tax.

The most recent annual report from the Illinois State Board of Investment shows the state holds more than $66 million worth of stocks and bonds in PepsiCo, Coca Cola and Dr. Pepper Snapple alone.

Pepsi is set to lay off 80 to 100 distribution workers in Philadelphia, citing local beverage sales dropping 40 percent in the wake of the new soda tax.

“Our worst fears have been realized today,” said Philadelphia Teamsters union Secretary-Treasurer Danny Grace in a statement on those layoffs. “We pleaded with City Council members and our fellow union brothers and sisters in Philadelphia to stand with us against this outrageous tax, but to no avail.

I hope they can live with themselves after knowing that their actions led to the devastation of an industry in the city and the loss of so many family-sustaining jobs.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner has refused to rule out such a tax as part of the

budget deal. That’s disappointing.

Proponents of the sugary drink tax cite reduced soda consumption as the end-all-be-all argument as to why Illinois should start forcing businesses such as Excel across state lines.

They’re right about one thing: incentives matter. High taxes change how businesses and families make decisions. After all, Illinois is home to the worst out-migration to other states in the nation. The most common reason Illinoisans want to leave is taxation, according to polling from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

But just because a tax hits soda sales doesn’t mean anyone is healthier.

In fact, sugary drink taxes have never been proven conclusively to cause a decrease in obesity.

That’s because consumers often substitute spending on soda with spending on other sugary items.

It is known, however, that these taxes disproportionately affect poor and less-educated people. Gallup polling shows 45 percent of people making less than $30,000 a year consume regular, sugary soda. And, as incomes rise, consumption of regular soda decreases.

Illinois shouldn’t be balancing the budget with tax hikes on low-income residents, nor on beverage businesses doing their best to provide some sweetness in our often-depressing state.

Instead, lawmakers should go back to the drawing board and make spending reforms long lacking in Springfield. And grab a Ski while they’re at it.

Sixth-graders take part in Rebecca Caudill program MCNABB — The Putnam County Junior High School sixth-grade students participated in the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader’s Award program.

This Illinois award is determined by student votes. This award encourages students to read for personal satisfaction and develops a statewide awareness of outstanding children’s literature. The book “The Crossover” was chosen as being the favorite among the sixth-grade participants out of the 19 nominated books.

This program was introduced to the students through a cooperative effort among Amy Carboni’s sixth-

Putnam County Rotary

grade classes and Debbie Thompson, PCJH media paraprofessional.

The Putnam County Educational Foundation was recognized for approving the grant that helped pay for copies of the books and the treats for the party.

After reading and reporting on three Rebecca Caudill books, the student receives a certification stating they are eligible to attend the party and to vote for the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader’s Book Award. This year if any of the students read four or more books, their name was put into a drawing for the book, “Rain Reign,” which was won at the Illinois

State Library Media Association Conference, which Thompson attended.

On Feb. 27, 21 students voted and a total of 139 books have been read so far by just sixth graders. Students were treated to cookies, soda, ice cream and toppings in celebration of Rebecca Caudill’s February birthday.

Any sixth grader who reads all 19 of the Rebecca Caudill books will have their name engraved on a plaque to be displayed at the school in honor of this accomplishment. Students have until April 28 to meet the requirements to have their name on the plaque. One student has already accomplished this goal.

IVCC instructor Jim Gibson (second from left) and former IVCC instructor Rosie Lynch (far right) meet with Williston State College representatives Alberto Bellina, Pamela Rasmussen and Ken Quamme. IVCC was selected to mentor WSC’s petroleum automation and control program for the National Science Foundation’s Mentor-Connect Program.

Gibson, Lynch part of NSF mentoring OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s success in landing National Science Foundation grants has led to a mentoring opportunity with a North Dakota college.

IVCC electronics instructor Jim Gibson and former instructor Rose Marie Lynch are mentoring a team from Williston State College’s petroleum automation and control program.

“This speaks to the strategic success we have had in acquiring NSF grants and also to our willingness to share hard-earned knowledge about the process with colleagues at other institutions,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran.

Since 2005, IVCC has procured more than $1.3 million from three NSF grants: Building an engineering technology workforce: A plan for reaching young people, adults and women; Preparing a new workforce for a sustainable economy; and, Embedding CQI methodology in twoyear technical curricula.

Williston State will work with IVCC in NSF’s Mentor-Connect Program, an initiative providing guidance for its Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program.

Assigned experts Gibson and Lynch will assist WSC in a 10-month program to draft an ATE proposal. In addition to one-onone mentorship, they will

facilitate faculty and leadership development, offer technical assistance and ensure the grant is ready for review.

“Williston State was chosen from 29 schools representing 22 states,” said WSC’s Pamela Rasmussen.

“At the end of the program, we will seek funding from the NSF to sustain and grow its petroleum automation and control program.”

The idea came from WSC petroleum technology instructor Alberto Bellina when he attended IVCC’s summer training in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Automation taught by Gibson.

Participants in the Polar Plunge at Lake Mendota brave the bitterly cold water temperature to earn money for the Special Olympics.

Polar Plunge raises more than $43,000 for Special Olympics MENDOTA — On Saturday, Feb. 25, a Polar Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics was held at Lake Mendota and the Mendota Convention Center.

One hundred sixty-three plungers went into Lake Mendota with a temperature of about 37 degrees (it was about 26 degrees outside minus wind chill).

Some dressed in bikinis, despite the cold; others dressed up as Super Heroes, penguins, lobsters, crabs, sharks and frozen chickens.

To participate in the Plunge, plungers had to raise at least $100 per person. Many – such as LaSalle-Peru High School – raised more. LPHS won the “Gold” for the top funds generated of about

$12,000. Winning Silver, MTM Frozen Chickens, raised more than $2,000; Bronze went to The Frozen Ladies who raised almost $2,000. All tallied, this event – the second largest fundraiser for Area 16/Starved Rock – raised $43,566.42.

The monies generated from this event and the annual auction (Area 16’s largest fundraising event) goes to support the Special Olympic athletes through lodging, equipment, lunches, facility use, T-shirts, awards and much more. Area 16 encompasses Henry, Stark, Bureau, Putnam, Marshall, LaSalle and Grundy counties.

Congratulations goes to Area 16 and Allison Nichols, area director, for all the

hard work and coordination of such a large event.

Congratulations to those who raised funds, supported and volunteered at the Polar Plunge.

Huge thanks goes to Mendota Plunge Sponsors: Law Enforcement Torch Run, Geico, city of Mendota, Mendota Fire Department, Mendota Police Department, Lou’s LaGrotto, Coca-Cola, Travel Connections, 99.3 WAJK and 96.5 WOLF and Pirate’s Cay Indoor Water Park.

Births Announced Holmstrom

Preschool screenings will be offering April 25-26

Brent Flori and Amanda Holmstrom of Streator are the parents of a daughter born March 1 at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley.

Tackett Chris and Michele (Bills) Tackett of Stanford are the parents of a daughter, Hallie Rose, born Feb. 23 at Advocate Bromenn Medical Center in Normal. She weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 20 1/4 inches in length. Maternal grandparents are Fred and Sharon Bills of Granville. Paternal grandparents are Judy and Mike Christopher of Normal, and Rick Tackett and Jorja Molnar of Stanford. Great-grandparents are Arlene Richards of Zearing and Arthur Wellmerling of Bloomington.

Mentoring From Page 10 During one of the sessions, Gibson explained where IVCC was as a college before being awarded NSF grants and where it is now. “When we began, we were in the basement without any equipment,� he said. “Now the first thing people see when they come to our college is our technology center. The square footage committed to our programs has increased by three-anda-half times.�

Seeing the passion Bellina had for WSC’s petroleum program, Gibson and Lynch agreed to mentor the college during its application process. Gibson and Lynch joined forces with Bellina, Rasmussen, and Business Technology Chair Ken Qua-

mme to form WSC’s Mentor-Connect team. “We look forward to learning from Jim’s knowledge and experience in building his own automation and control program,� explained Bellina.

Gibson, Lynch and the WSC team are attending a Mentor-Connect workshop in New Orleans this week to begin the process. “NSF did not have Mentor-Connect when we applied for NSF Grants,�

Gibson noted. “The program teaches you what to do and what not to do when applying. It would have helped us get accepted earlier and avoid mistakes when we initially applied.�

More than 80 percent of participants in the Mentor-Connect program receive their ATE grant upon completion.

GRANVILLE — L.E.A.S.E. and the Putnam County School District will offer a preschool screening on Tuesday, April 25, and Wednesday, April 26. They will be held during school hours at the Putnam County Primary School in Granville.

A parent must accompany their child to the screening.

Putnam County children who will be 3 years old on or before April 25 are eligible. It will cover small and large muscle development, speech, language, hearing,

the Illinois Board of Education.

This program offers developmentally appropriate experiences for young children to strengthen their skills for success later on in school.

It includes hands-on activities presented in a positive and encouraging environment. Each child brings his/her own experiences to the program which also helps to enhance it.

To make an appointment for the screening, call the school at 815882-2800 and select option one.

Genealogical society will meet March 23 PRINCETON — The next meeting of the Bureau County Genealogical Society will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 23, at the Society library, 629 S. Main St. in Princeton. The public is invited. The meeting will feature Esther Tracy as the evening’s speaker. She will talk on the topic “Bureau County in the 1800’s Through the Newspapers.�

Tracy is a retired Bureau County teacher, having taught in the Manlius and Princeton schools.

She has been a county resident for more than 50 years and during that time has become passionate about researching Bureau County’s history, its people and homes. Through her volunteer service at the Society library she has spent countless hours abstracting information from the microfilmed newspaper collection. She will share with the audience many local historical events and provide research tips both for genealogists and histori-

ans.

BCGS would like to remind the public that the research library is not only open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of each week, but it is also open the first Saturday of each month. The business hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers are always present to assist researchers having genealogical questions and to guide them in using its resources. There is no cost for this assistance.

PC fifth-graders role play incredible journey HENNEPIN — Our water supply is in constant motion, changing between liquid, solid and gaseous states. Children often imagine the water cycle as a circle with water moving between evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Using a dice, each Putnam County fifth-grader followed a water molecule through time. The random toss of the dice allowed each molecule

to take a different path. Molecules cycled between plants and animals, rivers and lakes, ground water and clouds, glaciers and oceans.

Students explained how water might make the transitions between the different locations and drew diagrams of their molecule’s paths.

Despite the fact that our world is 71 percent water, most of it is inaccessible. The amount of fresh clean

water available to man is very small and unevenly distributed.

In closing, students recalled recent news stories about water problems around the world and offered ideas for taking care of our water supply.

This program was provided by University of Illinois Extension Marshall Putnam Ag in the Classroom.

Parents who have other developmental concerns about their child can discuss those during the parent interview. All Putnam County families with age-eligible preschoolers are encouraged to take advantage of this screening.

Results will be used to determine eligibility for the early childhood program at the Primary School Building in Granville.

‘Civically Speaking’ Photo contributed

Maybe they aren’t so far from home Capt. Albert Brady from Granville hoists the state of Illinois flag and a “Win” flag aboard aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) to honor the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series win. The Carl Vinson Strike Group is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend the command and control functions of U.S. 3rd Fleet. U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific regularly and routinely for more than 70 years. Brady is the son of Albert and Sherry Brady of Granville and the grandson of Anna Brady of Spring Valley.

Terry Lynch entertains adult audiences with America’s own history LASALLE — The LaSalle Public Library will host Terry Lynch in an entertaining and memorable look at “civics” at 6 p.m.

Tuesday, March 21.

You may have to consult your “way back machine” to recall that term. Simply put, civics is an understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and the role of every citizen to be informed, and to make thoughtful decisions. Staying informed today forces us to consider if civics can be civil.

In this upbeat and amusing program, Lynch provides a thoughtful and

informative presentation about our role as citizens.

Original and engaging, this program takes the high road as we traverse the landscape of free speech, passionate views, and conflicting ideas.

This program is free and open to public. The LaSalle Public Library is located at 305 Marquette in LaSalle and is ADA compliant.

For more information, call the library at 815-2232341.
