Illinois TB cases on the rise One case reported in Bureau County

y

PRINCETON — Although the trend throughout the past decade has shown a decline in tuberculosis (TB) cases, there were 344 report-

ed cases within Illinois and one case of extensively drug resistant TB (XDR TB) in 2015, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

TB is a contagious possibly fatal disease transmit-

ted through the air when active TB germs are spread through coughs or sneezes. People with TB are most likely to infect those who they spend the most amount of time with, such as family members, classmates and

co-workers.

According to Laurie Geuther of the Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, about two-thirds of TB cases in the U.S. occur in people from parts of the world where TB infection is

much more common. It is unknown whether the slight increase in 2015 will continue.

“Bureau County has one active TB case, the first case in Bureau/Marshall/Putnam Counties since 2011,”

Geuther said.

TB typically affects the lungs, but can also infect the spine, brain, kidneys or any other part of the body. Usual symptoms may involve

​ C EMS celebrated its 10th anniversary with an open house on Saturday. There were displays of photographs and newspaper stories P from throughout the previous decade, tours of the station, a graduation celebration for new EMTs, lunch, door prizes, balloons for the children and other freebies. Unfortunately, because of the day’s high winds, a scheduled visit from the Life Flight helicopter wasn’t possible.

PRINCETON — Freedom House is gearing up for its next Take Back the Night event to help raise awareness about sexual and domestic violence and promote safety.

On Wednesday, April 13, at Nelson Chapel in Princeton, Freedom House will host a showing of the film, “The Hunting Ground,” which documents sexual assault survivors as they pursue their education while fighting for justice despite harsh retaliation, harassment and push back at most every level on college campuses.

The film will take viewers straight to the heart of a shocking epidemic of violence and institutional cover-ups sweeping college campuses across America.

The film will leave viewers feeling inspired by the courage of survivors and activists featured in the film. “The Hunting Ground” presents an opportunity to accelerate change.

The Take Back the Night event in Princeton will begin at 6 p.m. with a meet and greet session, followed by speakers at 6:30 p.m. The film will be shown at 7 p.m.

For those who are interested in seeing the film but cannot attend the April 13 event, Trisha Schafer, volunteer coordinator at Freedom House, said the organization has purchased the

Underage drinking on the decline ...

But Illinois teens more likely to drink than national counterparts

tion will be here shortly.

It is a time full of parties and celebrations, but oftentimes those activities can provide the temptation of underage drinking.

To increase public awareness of the potential dangers, April has been designated “National Alcohol Awareness Month.”

Sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, the 2016 theme of “Talk Early, Talk Often: Parents Can Make a Difference in Teen Alcohol Use” is designed to bring attention to the role parents play in prevention.

According to the Illinois

Youth Survey (IYS), alcohol continues to be the drug of choice among Illinois youth and is the most commonly reported drug across all age groups. As children grow older, the use of alcohol increases; 26 percent of eighth-graders reported using alcohol in the past year and

the percentage jumps to 62 percent for those in 12th-grade.

Dawn Conerton, director of the Bureau/Putnam County Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA), said, “It’s a legal drug, so people view it as more socially acceptable, but there’s a reason

the legal drinking age is 21. Children’s brains and bodies are still developing and can’t tolerate the effects of alcohol as well as an adult.”

The IYS determined Illinois eighthand 12th-graders are more

A happy anniversary Putnam County EMS Director Andy Jackson was all smiles Saturday as residents of Putnam County visited the open house at the fire station in McNabb. The Putnam County EMS recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, and the open house also featured a reunion of past members, current members and those who recently completed their EMT training.

The condition of bridges is something highway engineers all over the U.S. continue to keep a close watch on.

But while every state works to keep their bridges safe and sound, there is not always enough funding to keep up with the needed repairs for every structure, which results in bridges being listed as structurally deficient.

A new report recently released from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) shows there were 58,500 bridges in America listed as structurally deficient in 2015.

That number is 2,574 fewer than what was listed in 2014, however, it doesn’t take away from the amount of bridges that still repairs.

The ARTBA states at the current pace of bridge investment, it would take at least 21 years before these bridges were all replaced or upgraded.

To help ensure public safety, bridge decks and support structures are regularly inspected by the state transportation departments for deterioration and remedial action.

They are rated on a scale of zero to nine — with nine meaning the bridge is an “excellent” condition. A bridge is classified as structurally deficient and in need of repair if its overall rating is four or below.

Unfortunately, the funding made available to state and local transportation departments for bridge work is not keeping pace with needs, accord-

ing to the ARTBA. The Top 10 states with the most structurally deficient bridges include Iowa (5,025), Pennsylvania (4,783), Oklahoma (3,776), Missouri (3,222), Nebraska (2,474), Kansas (2,303), Illinois (2,244), Mississippi (2,184), North Carolina (2,085) and California (2,009).

Stats of Illinois bridges: Illinois is ranked seventh in the country as having the most structurally deficient bridges. The state of Illinois is home to 26,674 bridges. Of those structures, 2,244 bridges, or 8 percent of the state’s bridges, are listed as structurally deficient.

What is it about a bridge that classifies it as structurally deficient? According to ARTBA, structurally deficient means one or more of the key bridge elements, such as the deck, superstructure or substructure is considered to be in “poor” or worse condition.

According to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) 2015 National Bridge Inventory Data, 1,959 Illinois bridges, or 7 percent are classified as functionally obsolete, which means the bridge does not meet design standards in line with current practice.

There are 25 bridges in the state listed as the most traveled structurally deficient bridges in the state. There are 13 of these bridges in Cook County; four in St. Clair County; two in DuPage County; one bridge each in Will, Tazewell, Kane and Madison counties.

TB cases From Page 1 fatigue, weight loss, fever and night sweats.

When TB infects the lungs, symptoms can include chest pain and persistent coughing that may produce blood.

“Persons should be evaluated for TB if they are exposed to someone with active TB; if they are from a county with a high prevalence of TB; or if they have signs and symptoms of TB,” Geuther said.

TB can be treated by taking several drugs for six to 12 months, and it is important for those infected to take them exactly as prescribed and to finish the cycle of medication. Many patients comply with the strict drug regimen at first, but may stop taking it after they begin to feel better. Failure to follow the therapy for the full duration may allow the TB to return. In some cases the re-established infection can’t be treated with the usual antibiotics because the bacteria have become extensively drug resistant. TB resistant to drugs is more difficult and expensive to treat.

IDHP Director Nirav D. Shah said, “The identification of a person with XDR TB is concerning. It means that most antibiotics used to treat one of the world’s deadliest diseases do not work. IDHP wants to raise awareness about TB, so that people recognize it and know the importance of completing treatment in order to prevent additional extensively drug resistant cases.”

Even those who currently have no symptoms may be at risk.

“Persons with latent TB have been infected with the TB bacteria but are not ill and are not contagious, but they should be treated to prevent them from developing active, infectious TB,” Geuther said.

Geuther also said during school physical exams, children are screened for risk factors and tested if risks are identified. Teachers and other school employees were required to have TB testing upon employment until 2015, but the regulation was repealed. As a group, teachers and school employees are at no higher risk of TB than others in the general population.

The history of TB in Illinois

From Page 1

A brief time-line of TB and the IDPH: • 1901 - A bacteriologic laboratory is equipped to diagnose tuberculosis, diphtheria and typhoid fever. The Illinois State Board of Health declares tuberculosis to be a contagious disease.

• 1908 - Cities are allowed to build and maintain sanatoriums for the care and treatment of people suffering from tuberculosis.

• 1915 - Health laws are revised to create a list of reportable diseases, to specify the time limit within which the diseases must be reported and to whom and to require the reports be forwarded to the Illinois State Board of Health.

• 1941 - For the first time, state funds are designated to the department for the fight against tuberculosis.

• 1946 - With much fanfare, Gov. Dwight H. Green becomes the first person to have a chest X-ray in one of two new department mobile tuberculosis units.

• 1947 - An appropriation of $6.7 million authorizes the department to build and operate tuberculosis sanatoriums.

State sanitariums are eventually constructed in Mount Vernon (1951) and Chicago (1953) • 2001 - Tuberculosis cases fall to an all-time low of 707.

From Page 1 likely to use alcohol than their national counterparts. Use in the past 30 days among eighth-graders in Illinois was 14.9 percent compared to 10.2 percent nationally.

Among Illinois 12th-graders, alcohol use within the past 30 days was 44.4 percent contrasted with 39.2 percent nationally. Since 2008 for Illinois eighth-graders and since 2012 for Illinois high school seniors, alcohol use has exceeded the national rates for use during both the past 30 days and the past year.

The IYS showed an encouraging trend, however. While binge drinking was increasing among 12th-graders from 2010 to 2012, results from 2012 to 2014 indicated fewer high school students were choosing to binge drink.

director of Prevention First, a non-profit resource center specializing in preventing alcohol and drug abuse among youth and pregnant women, said “Underage alcohol use is not confined to one geographic or demographic area. A common misconception is that underage drinking is a rite of passage among teens. However, with what we continue to learn about the brain, introducing alcohol during adolescence is extremely dangerous.”

During adolescence the brain goes through many rapid developmental changes. The brain’s frontal lobes, essential for functions such as emotional regulation, planning and organization continue to develop through young adulthood according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Adolescent drinking can damage this process, and the brain is more vulnerable to the toxic and addictive

aspects of alcohol during this time. Alcohol use can impair memory, judgment, decision making, impulse control and motor functions.

“The IYS helps us know what our youth are thinking and gives us a better understanding of what they’re experiencing and how we can help them within our community,” said Conerton.

In keeping with the talk early, talk often theme, it is important for parents to remember the most important prevention tool available is their voice. According to the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, children who learn about the risks of alcohol and drugs from their parents are significantly less likely to use drugs, yet 20 percent report not getting that benefit.

Perry Memorial Hospital offers new services

PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton is offering two new services to patients; low-dose CT lung screens and ultrasound vascular screenings.

A low-dose CT lung screen is done to identify early stage lung cancer in patients who are showing no signs or symptoms of lung cancer. The procedure is a painless and quick scan of the chest with a minimal amount of radiation exposure. It does not require an IV or injection. Patients must be between the ages of 55-77 and be asymptomatic (no signs or symptoms of lung cancer). Patient must have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 pack-years (1 pack-year = 1 pack per day for 1 year; 1 pack = 20 cigarettes) and must be a current smoker or one who has quit smoking within the last 15 years.

Patients must also receive a written order from their provider during a lung cancer screening counseling and shared decision-making visit. This screen is a Medicare approved service.

The second new service PMH is offering is an ultrasound vascular screening.

This screening includes two tests. The first test is a Peripheral Arterial Disease screening which checks the blood flow in the lower extremities. It is a quick, non-invasive exam done by using ankle brachial index.

The second test in the screening is an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening. An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is a specific type of aneurysm, which occurs when the lining of the aorta (blood vessel) is enlarged and the wall is weak, allowing the vessel to balloon out into the abdomen.

This type of aneurysm is normally silent (no symptoms) until they become a medical emergency. The Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening is a painless, non-invasive exam that uses ultrasound to take images and measurements of your abdominal aorta. The cost for both of these screening tests is $100 and is a self-pay service. No provider order is needed.

Those interested should call Perry Memorial Hospital’s Central Scheduling Department at 815876-3313 to schedule an appointment.

Princeton Theatre Group receives National Endowment for the Arts grant PRINCETON — The Princeton Theatre Group has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support actor salaries and associated activities for Festival 56’s 2016 season.

“We are extremely grateful for NEA’s support and recognition,” said Maureen Droessler, president of the Princeton Theatre Group Board of Directors. “With the decline in state funding for the arts, it’s very heartening to receive support directly from NEA. With it, and the generous support of our patrons and donors, we are excited that Festival 56 can bring our region another wonderful season of professional theatre.”

Rezin moves office to Westclox building PERU — Calling it an “incredible opportunity,” State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) said she is thrilled to be moving her district office to the old Westclox factory, a former manufacturer of clocks in Peru.

“Once I learned there were efforts to revitalize the Westclox factory and turn it into some office space, I knew I wanted my district office there,” Rezin said. “It’s going to be really neat to work inside a building with so much history, unique architecture and incredible stories, especially a building that had such a tremendous impact on the LaSalle/ Peru area.”

At one time, the Westclox factory employed about 4,000 people. It closed its doors completely in the 1980s and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

“Once you walk inside, you just get that feeling of, ‘This is really cool,’” Rezin said. “The developers did such a great job utilizing the space, respecting its history, and preserving the look and feel that makes this building a treasure for our area.”

Rezin’s new address is 350 Fifth St., Suite 264, Peru, IL 61354. You can still reach Rezin at 815-220-8720 orsenatorrezin@gmail.com.

He has guided us to improved sales results while retaining the culture that is at the core of our success, one that shows ‘more heart’ and puts our customers’ interest first.”

TO Letter THE Editor

Hoping for 100 percent participation

Sam R Fisher

Terri Simon

Publisher

Editor

Compromise I really don’t want to tackle this subject. I have no desire. When it comes to the state budget impasse, I really don’t want to weigh in on it at all. It’s as complicated as it is simple. That’s really all I want to say about it.

But as the editor Terri of this newspaper, I almost feel like I’m Simon shirking some kind COMMENTARY of responsibility if I don’t put in my two cents, so to speak.

After all, newspapers are known for taking a stand. And one of the Shaw Media promises is we will provide “relevant information,” “marketing solutions” and be “community advocates.”

First and foremost, let me first tell you these words are coming from a person who hasn’t really balanced her checkbook in 25-plus years. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not proud of that, but it’s true.

Sure I glance at the bank statement and I run by the ATM every now and then, but I will never be one of the people who spend hours looking for a dime in my checkbook tally. I’m fairly good with words, but when it comes to numbers, I don’t have much of a clue.

On the other hand, it doesn’t take a mathematician to see what is happening to the great state of Illinois right now. The inability for movement from both sides of the aisle to rectify this situation is nothing short of (what I really want to say is stupid, but for the purpose of such a serious problem, I’ll be a bit more prolific and say ...) senseless, shortsighted and foolish.

Much-needed state money is not getting to the agencies — more importantly, the people who need it most in our state. Yes, I know the abuse in years gone by has been rampant, and in many cases, the Land of Lincoln has become a laughing stock because of bad politicians, poor choices and more.

But the problem here is our state’s most vulnerable — our children, our seniors, our disabled — are not getting what they need to function ... much less thrive.

While I applaud Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desire to fix our state’s bank accounts, it’s not going to happen overnight ... and it shouldn’t happen on the backs of those who really need some help. There has to be compromise — from both sides of the aisle, from both Republicans and Democrats. That’s the only way anything is going to get accomplished.

Every day, I see people slipping through the cracks, even though they are hanging on for dear life.

It hurts me, and ultimately, those who are slip-sliding away because they can’t get the services they need, will — in my opinion — come back to haunt this state in a myriad of ways. It’s one thing to be tough on a budget, but it’s another thing to look needy, deserving people in the eye ... and then turn your back on them. How do you do that?

Yes, I know our state’s finances are in a mess. We all do, but we can’t just shut down and wait for the other side to wave the white flag. First of all, it’s not going to happen. And secondly, this should not be a game. I shudder to think of the consequences.

So in my never-balance-my-checkbook wisdom but my love for this state and all it has to offer, here is what needs to happen ... Rauner, a Republican, and his people need to meet up with Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, a Democrat, and his people in one room. Lock the door. Bring in some food and water a couple times a day. Maybe even give them some of those camping cots to lay down on for a while. And let them know nobody is leaving until they come up with a compromise. Oh ... and I also think we should have a screen in the room, where we flash all the faces of Illinois residents impacted by their inability to be adults and put their political beliefs aside.

I know I am over-simplifying this ... and clearly I understand it’s not as easy as I’m making it sound. But come on ... the health and well-being of many people are at stake here. Figure it out. Make it work. Be adults.

Think about something other than your political party.

It’s about compromise now, gentlemen. Let’s get it done.

To the Editor, All high school parents want their kids to enjoy prom and stay safe! Rotary’s on your side, again sponsoring the Post-Prom Afterglow so that our students can extend the enjoyment and excitement of their Prom night safely – and it’s totally free for all students and their dates — even including those juniors and seniors who do not plan to attend Prom!

We need your help in encouraging your student to attend, in discouraging any parties that would compete with the Afterglow, and in allowing your student to stay to the prize-winning end.

Our hope is that through 100 percent participation, our community can help ensure a safe, fun, and memorable prom experience for us all.

This year’s Afterglow “Carnival” experience will again include carnival games, a bags tournament, and a mock casino in which students will use play money, gathering their winnings for use in an auction for valuable prizes at the end of the night. The event will begin immediately following the PCHS Prom on Saturday, April 30, lasting until 2:30 a.m. at the PC Primary School Gym in Granville.

Many generous businesses, municipalities and individuals in our county have donated with the goal of encouraging a safe and enjoyable prom night.

With their support we are able to offer a great party,

and great prizes to be won throughout the event.

Prizes include a 24” flatscreen TV, a FitBit, a Go-Pro action camera, a high-power juicer, digital camera, cordless headphones, a dorm-sized microwave and freezer-fridge, iHome stereos, an HP wi-fi printer, restaurant and shopping gift certificates, Keurig coffee-makers, a ROKU for video streaming, and many other prizes too! Some gifts are auctioned off at the end of the night, while other items are given by raffle drawings so that all who are present have a chance to win valuable prizes.

Every student also will receive a gift Afterglow T-shirt with this year’s theme, if still present at night’s end.

There is no cost to the students to attend or for any of the “game chips” or raffle chances.

The Afterglow has become a part of the PCHS Prom tradition and is something students look forward to each year as an extension of the evening’s festivities.

Please help us continue the tradition by encouraging your student’s participation and by allowing them to remain at the Afterglow through the exciting auction and final prize drawings at the end.

With your help, we hope for 100 percent participation in this year’s “Carnival” on April. Thank you for your support!

Ron McNeill, Rotary president Granville

Considerations by Nedda This is a great time of year. We have more sunshine, some nourishing rain, and renewal of our spirits.

This is also the time for celebrations in the Christian world and of course other religions have related festivals. We must all remember the Christian story is based on forgiveness and love, and the other religions have the same base. We must not listen to hate talk. It makes us emotionally sick and diminishes us.

Spring is also the time for the sun to shine into the windows and catch the dusty spots and corners. The bright light also lightens up the stuff we have collected in the winter; I guess, the stuff that make us feel cozier.

Anyway, some of us begin to feel the urge to tackle some of the cleanup and get rid of things we really don’t need anymore. I have noticed most magazines are emphasizing pitching unnecessary clothes, furniture, knickknacks and well, you know. I have talked

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY about this before, but our kids will probably feel relieved, and it will make us look so up to date, and we can impress them with our modern thinking!!

I don’t know why our kids or grandchildren politely reject some of the stuff we thought was so sweet and precious! Anybody would treasure that old chipped carnival prize won in 1950!

I am writing down some things I have so the family knows the history and dates, and they can decide what to do. I made it clear their decision is fine with me, since I’m not going to be here to object!

The point is, make it easier for your kids or relatives and friends

later on. I have heard more talk in my generation about this, and there is a positive outlook about downsizing. We don’t need to feel as if all is lost, but more caring about ourselves and others.

I have decided to not listen to too much news as well. (This gives me more time to move my stuff around and pitch silly things that mean nothing.) I have found most is repetitive and the same theme.

Thoreau mentioned that once you have heard it, that is enough. I have taken lots of license with his statement, you scholars! Read Thoreau, notice the green things coming up, write a note to a grieving friend, and thank someone with a note, write in a journal, volunteer and let the world whirl. It is going to whirl anyway, without our stewing and fretting about it.

Happy Spring and remember to be kind.

Spring is here!

Spring is here, and soon there will be new baby animals, nice weather and flowers blooming everywhere!

There is one thing I don’t like about spring though ... THUNDERSTORMS! I have always been one to get nervous about storms, but my mom loves them, so of course we have a weather radio and weather apps on our phones and a scanner to listen to where they are. My mom sits on our porch and watches them, but I’m not so brave. I recently took a storm spotters class with my mom, so I could understand storms a little better. It was really interesting, and it has made me feel better because now I understand if I need to be worried or not. I have learned clouds can look very scary and not always be something to worry about.

In spring there is also Easter. On

Autumn Joiner COMMENTARY Easter, my family gets together to celebrate Jesus. We have yummy treats and hunt for Easter eggs. My sister and I put on our Easter dresses and go to church. The “Easter Bunny” always leaves us a Easter basket full of neat things.

Spring is the time to go play outside. In spring. I like to make goals and promises to myself to work on, like I have been running two miles a day to get ready for track. I have sports in the spring like track and softball, both of them involve run-

ning, and I have to get ready for them.

After being inside all winter, it is nice to go outside and run to get ready for those sports.

Springtime also means everyone getting outside and working in their yards, walking their dogs, kids playing outside. You get to see friends and neighbors that are outside that you don’t see much over the winter.

You can almost feel it in the air that people are happier. The birds are chirping as the sun rises and sets, and the days start to last longer. I am enjoying spring fun and anxiously waiting for summer.

Members of Putnam County FFA, pictured with Agri-Business Night speaker Chad Colby, were among those who attended to learn about the application of new technology in, and above, the field. Colby is holding a Styrofoam fixedwing drone, one of several styles used in agriculture today.

Rotary AgriBusiness Night goes ‘high’ tech MCNABB — Putnam County Rotary held its annual Agri-Business Night on Thursday, March 31, in McNabb, with more than 120 in attendance.

The event, held annually during the month in which National Agriculture Week is celebrated, brings together Rotarians, local farmers, ag-related businesses, area banks, FFA members and others, to learn about new developments in the field.

This year’s featured presenter, Chad Colby of Colby AgTech, brought with him some of the latest in ag technology and his own wealth of experience.

Colby’s family farming experience in Hennepin and Tiskilwa has served him well in developing new applications for modern technology from drones to thermal sensors. He developed his company to share and network, at conferences and through media programs, with progressive farmers, leading companies and government agencies locally and around the world.

A pilot and avid supporter of increasing the use of drones in agriculture, he has presented at many major U.S. agri-business companies and organizations, including the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, and the Farm Progress Show. He has also participated in numerous media interviews with programs such as This Week in Agribusiness, WGN Radio, RFDTV Market Day Report, Sirius-XM Rural Radio, and Iowa Public Radio’s Market to Market.

Colby demonstrated the accuracy and excellent video capabilities of

Chad Colby of AgTech Services, was thanked after his presentation at PC Rotary’s Agri-Business Night, by committee member Bob Cofoid (left) and Rotary Club President Ron McNeill (right). Colby is holding a Styrofoam fixedwing drone, and Pastor McNeill is holding a quadcopter drone, two of several styles being used in agriculture today. iPad-driven drones of various shapes and styles, some of the best being some of the least expensive. A thermal imaging ap can be obtained for a smartphone for as little as $250, he said, with amazing applications in sensing the location of livestock and even evaluating the health of a plant. Though he does not sell or market drone products, Colby’s company advises as to the best fit of software and devices for the purposes to be employed. Drones are in use to monitor field and crop conditions, to apply chemicals, survey storm damage and oversee field operations.

As the use of drones in agriculture literally sky-rocketed in recent months, more concerns have arisen also, regard-

ing user-education, air traffic safety, FAA regulation, and even privacy concerns.

There are changes on the horizon, he said, in both technology and regulation, and more to come. “My goal is to get you to think – to try something new, and to push the envelope – don’t just check the box” that says you did the same thing you have always done before.

Rotary thanks Chad Colby for his presentation, and the local banks and all who attended, contributing to the success of the program.

Preschool screening scheduled for Putnam County families GRANVILLE — L.E.A.S.E. and the Putnam County School District will offer a preschool screening on Wednesday, April 27, and Thursday, April 28. The screenings will be held during school hours at the Putnam County Primary School in Granville.

Putnam County children who will be 3 years old on or before the screening dates are eligible for this screening.

It will cover small and large muscle development, speech, language, hearing, vision, cognition and social skills.

Parents who have other developmental concerns about their child can discuss those during the parent interview.

Results from the screening can be used to help determine a child’s eligibility for the Early Childhood Program at the Primary School Building in Gran-

ville. At this time the Early Childhood Program is a state funded program paid for with a grant from the Illinois Board of Education.

It offers developmentally appropriate experiences for young children to strengthen their skills for success later on in school. The program includes hands-on activities presented in a positive and encouraging environment.

Each child brings his/her own experiences to the Early Childhood program, which also helps to enhance the program.

Parents interested in making an appointment for the screening are asked to call Janice Hoffman at 815-882-2800, option 1, any time after Wednesday, April 6, during school hours, to schedule an appointment.

St. Margaret’s earns ACR accreditation SPRING VALLEY — St. Margaret’s Health has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.

Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality

control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.

The ACR, founded in 1924, is a professional medical society dedicated to serving patients and society by empowering radiology professionals to advance the practice, science and professions of radiological care. The College serves more than 37,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

Fishing tournament information is available online for Illinois anglers

Midland High School FFA wins LUC2 Envirothon ​ The Marshall-Putnam River Conservancy District and the Marshall-Putnam Soil and Water Conservation District are announcing that five students from Midland High School and their coaches will be representing the region at the Illinois State Envirothon competition in Monticello. Logan Pyles, Wyatt Col-

vin, Zack Weber, Kieran Sloan and Heidi Harrison, along with coaches Darin Blunier and Brad Stork, make up the team of students who have succeeded in winning this competition. Their journey began on March 17 at the Land Use Council Envirothon in Kewanee, where Midland FFA Team 1 placed first out of 15

teams competing. They will put their skills to use at the State Envirothon in Monticello at the end of April. The students will sit through presentations and be judged on their knowledge of five topics — aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife and invasive species.

They will be competing against 15 other regional teams.

SPRINGFIELD — The tournament fishing season in Illinois will be busy again in 2016, as angling groups in the state have applied for more than 2,100 tournament permits to date.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Division of Fisheries is now using an online application system through the www.ifishillinois. org website for fishing clubs and tournament organizers to apply for tournament permits, and is providing up-to-date tournament schedules through the website.

“The Division of Fisheries appreciates the cooperation and compliance by our tournament anglers in setting up their online accounts and submitting tourna-

ment dates through the online system,” said Dan Stephenson, IDNR fisheries chief. “This program wouldn’t be possible without their help. Thanks to the tournament anglers of Illinois.”

Anyone interested in tournament fishing in Illinois can go to the www.ifishillinois.org website, click on the map on the homepage, find a body or bodies of water they’re interested in, and see a list of approved and pending tournaments at the bottom of the webpages for those bodies of water.

Tournament organizers will also use the online system to register fish harvest data from tournaments to assist fisheries management efforts throughout the state.

Food service certification course planned SPRING VALLEY — A food service sanitation manager certification course will be offered Saturday, April 23, at St. Margaret’s Hospital, 600 E. First St., Spring

Valley. The class will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the test at 4 p.m.

This is a state-approved, eight-hour course for the Illinois Food Safety Certi-

fication. Re-certifiers may attend. All food service facilities are required too have certified managers. The cost is $100 and includes materials and test.

For more information, or to obtain registration forms, call David K. Williams at 815-564-5603 or email Dave at williamsclasses@gmail.com.
