AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

Drivers needed to take patients to treatment PRINCETON — The American Cancer Society is in need of more volunteer drivers to support the Road To Recovery program, which provides cancer patients with free rides to treatment. This year, there will be an estimated 68,560 new cancer cases in Illinois in 2019, and for some, getting to treatments can be their biggest

All drivers must have a current, valid driver’s license; a good driving record; access to a safe and reliable vehicle; regular desktop, laptop or tablet computer access; and proof of car insurance. The American Cancer Society stands shoulder to shoulder with cancer patients and those supporting them, focused on improving patient access to quality care, including transportation. To learn more about volunteering for the Road To Recovery program, visit cancer.org or call 800-227-2345.

The American Cancer Society currently has dedicated and passionate volunteers throughout Illinois, but the need for drivers is greater than the number of volunteers. In many communities, due to the lack of drivers, transportation needs can go unmet. Volunteer drivers are needed to help give cancer patients a much-needed ride. The organization screens and trains all volunteer drivers, and coordinates the rides for patients. Volunteer drivers donate their time and can provide as many rides as they want.

roadblock. A successful transportation assistance program can be a tremendous, potentially life-saving asset to the community. That’s why volunteering for the American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program is so important. “Every day, thousands of cancer patients need of a ride to and from their treatments,” said Kelly Perez, program manager, American Cancer Society. “Even the best treatment can’t work if a cancer patient can’t get there.”

ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Third Giving Day fundraiser is the charm Event exceeded $25,000 goal before it even began

As part of the Spirit Sprint Relays, the fourth stage, the “Pantyhose Pushover,” required placing a stocking with a tennis ball in the end over participants’ heads and attempting to knock over a bottle of water — which was easier said than done.

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com OGLESBY — In three years, the Illinois Valley Community College Foundation has raised more than $75,000 through its Giving Day events to help students achieve their academic goals. The third annual Giving Day event, held April 3, exceeded its $25,000 goal before the spirited events in the gymnasium even began. “These funds will be used to provide scholarships to well-deserving students to help them complete their education,” Fran Brolley, IVCC’s director of Community Relations and Development, said. Funds are raised through a series of lighthearted competitions, raffles and social media interaction. Included in the day were a bake sale; a raffle for two tickets to a performance of “Hamilton” in Chicago, sponsored by IVCC; and a raffle for two tickets to a White Sox game, sponsored by NRG Media. Past competitions have included challenges such as staff members seeing who could make the most free throws or do the most pushups. But, this year organizers changed the lineup to allow for more participation from both

However, one aspect that didn’t change was the popular “Slime Challenge.” Each year the “winner” of this challenge is the staff member who collects the most monetary donations prior to the event. They are then “slimed” by a raffle winner who entered to be the “slimer.” The IVCC Chem Club creates the thick, oozing green concoction that is poured over the winner’s head in front of the cheering crowd. New to the event was the Spirit

Sprint Relay. In this challenge, six teams of five competed in a relay race with a series of events. Teams included staff and a variety of members from the college’s athletic teams. “We’re here to celebrate everything that makes IVCC great,” Janice Corrigan, IVCC Foundation assistant, said. The first stage was a race with a balloon held between the legs of the competitors who then had to sit on and pop the balloon. Following that, the next team member had to quick-

ly rotate through a large stack of colored cups, or the “Stack Attack,” until reaching the sole cup of a different color. The third event was the “Chuckin’ Chick’n,” in which teams had to successfully toss two rubber chickens into a distant bucket. The fourth stage, the “Pantyhose Pushover,” required placing a stocking with a tennis ball in the end over their heads and attempting to knock over a bottle of water. The final stage required competitors to don safety glasses and mittens before quickly spinning around five times while leaned over with their forehead on a yardstick. They then had to stay leaned over while rolling a basketball through a series of cones before finally shooting a basket while wearing the bulky mittens. Hometown National Bank was a major sponsor of the day, and Brolley said the bank has donated $3,000 each year toward the event. Following the competitions, those in attendance were invited to enjoy the pizza provided by Marchelloni’s, the water provided by Pepsi and the popcorn made by the IVCC Athletic Department. “We’re excited we’ve found a way to make giving fun. This event seems to grow and get better every year. All the donations, no matter how much they are, add up to help us provide access to higher education for our students,” Brolley said.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

Energy aid still available through LIHEAP Applications will be processed through May 31 SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) announced that winter heating assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is still available. Heating assistance and Reconnection Assistance (RA) applications will be processed through May 31 or until funding is exhausted. Even if your household has already applied for and received LIHEAP (bill payment assistance, but not the full RA benefit) since Oct. 1, 2018, you may be eligible for the RA benefit. Reconnection Assistance is available for eligible households who are disconnected from their energy source needed for heating or are under imminent threat of disconnec-

tion (are within seven days of being disconnected or have less than 25 percent in their propane tank). The RA benefit may also be approved to help adults who are trying to establish heat-related energy services. RA is provided to eligible households if: a) it will ensure reconnection and b) if the household has made a good faith effort to maintain energy services and/or can pay a portion of the balance due to the energy vendor, when applicable. “We understand we’re coming out of an extremely cold winter, and Illinois residents’ heating bills are probably higher than they anticipated,” said Erin Guthrie, acting DCEO director. “This program was created to help our most vulnerable residents remain healthy, safe and warm during the winter months.” A single-person household can qualify with a monthly gross income of up to $1,518; a two-person household up to $2,058; a family of three can earn up to $2,598; and a family of four can earn up to $3,138. Benefits are paid directly to energy vendors on behalf of eligible house-

“We understand we’re coming out of an extremely cold winter, and Illinois residents’ heating bills are probably higher than they anticipated.” Erin Guthrie

acting director, DCEO holds. The exception is households whose heating costs are included in their rent. Customers must bring all required documentation when applying for assistance, including: • Proof of gross income from all household members for the previous 30-day income period, beginning with the date of the application. • A copy of their current heat and electric bills issued within the last 30 days (if they pay for their energy directly). • A copy of their rental agreement (if they are renting) showing that utilities are included, the monthly rental amount and land-

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

lord contact information. • Proof of Social Security numbers for all household members. • Proof that their household received TANF or other benefits, such as Medical Eligibility or SNAP, if receiving assistance from the Illinois Department of Human Services. LIHEAP heating assistance applications, including Reconnection Assistance, will continue to be accepted through May 31, or until funding is exhausted. Applications are taken on a first-come, firstserved basis. LIHEAP is a state and federally funded energy assistance program for low-income families in which heating bill payments are made on behalf of households. LIHEAP applications are processed through a network of 35 local administering agencies around the state. For a complete listing of LIHEAP’s local administering agencies and additional information about the program, go to www.liheapIllinois. com, or call the LIHEAP toll-free hotline at 877-411-9276.

Roberts was found dead — was picked up by Wisconsin State Police around 1 a.m. Saturday, April 6, after an Illinois Department of Corrections arrest warrant was issued for parole violation. Mentgen was being held Monday in

Dane County Jail in Madison pending extradition. According to the release, Spring Valley officers traveled to Wisconsin and interviewed Mentgen. As of Monday, no charges had been filed against him or anyone else in regard to the death of Roberts. Police were awaiting results from a pending autopsy and laboratory analysis of collected evidence. According to an earlier release, police and 10/33 Ambulance were

dispatched to the apartment for an unresponsive female later identified as Roberts. Police called the incident a homicide and said the circumstances and manner of death were under investigation. Spring Valley Police Department, Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services and the Bureau County Coroner’s Office are investigating the incident.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION

Master Gardener program is accepting online applicants ‘Helping Others Learn to Grow’ is its mission For the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener program, the past four decades can be measured by the millions of volunteer hours given to help bring horticultural help to communities across the state. This year marks the 48th anniversary of the Illinois Master Gardener program. With more than 3,000 members today, Illinois Master Gardeners have given more than 2.3 million volunteer hours — a value of more than $46 million — to the state. Today, Master Gardener volunteers, who come from farms, small towns, suburbs and cities, offer numerous educational opportunities related to gardening in nearly every county in the state. The mission of the Illinois Master Gardener program is “Helping Others Learn to Grow.” After 60 hours of training in topics such as vege-

table and flower gardening, insect problems and plant diseases, the volunteers participate in programs throughout their communities. Some of those opportunities may include speaking at garden clubs, civic groups or schools; answering calls or emails at help desks; establishing demonstration gardens that serve as educational tools; and educating citizens on how to establish community gardens. You don’t have to be a gardening expert to become a Master Gardener. All you need is an interest in gardening, some time to volunteer in the community, and a desire to share your knowledge with others. The program is more about connections: connecting people with other gardeners, with their community, and with reliable resources for information. Once connections are forged, it’s time to get sowing and growing in many meaningful community projects. The University of Illinois Extension is now accepting applications to

participate in the Online Master Gardener Training Program. This new online program allows volunteers, who may never have been able to in the past due to schedule or time conflicts, to complete the training. This online, self-guided course for Illinois residents can be completed any time of day or night. Set aside about four hours per week for videos, reading the manual and completing quizzes, and the training will be completed in 14 weeks. The 2019 summer Master Gardener Online Training includes 13 modules — an introduction and 12 subject-areas. Module topics include botany; soils and fertilizers; plant diseases; entomology; integrated pest management; annuals and perennials; trees, shrubs and woody vines; lawns; small and tree fruits; vegetables; composting/organic gardening; and living with wildlife. Each module consists of several videos and an online quiz; therefore, a strong internet connection is highly recommended. Please note

this training is not being offered in local Extension offices, but must be completed through use of a personal computer or other computer access. The registration cost for the program is $300, which includes the Master Gardener manual. Registration for the summer 2019 class is open now and will continue through Monday, May 20. The class will start Monday, June 3. For more information, or to obtain an application form, contact the Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam Extension Unit at the following: Meg E. Overocker, extension program coordinator, University of Illinois Extension - LaSalle County Office, 1689 North 31st Road, Suite 2, Ottawa, IL 61350; 815-433-0707. Following completion of the training, Master Gardener interns will work with Extension staff and local Master Gardeners in the Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam Unit area to complete required volunteer time through approved community service projects.

LASALLE

LASALLE — “Give a family a vegetable, you feed them for a day. Teach a family to garden, you feed them for life.” This proverbial wisdom, adapted from the popular “Give a man a fish …” saying, is the driving goal behind the Healthy Gardening Project chaired by University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Barb Dahlbach of Marshall County. The project is in its eighth year and was conceived by Dahlbach because, according to her, “if you cannot afford to put food on your table, you certainly cannot afford to buy plants to start a garden.” The underlying goal of this project is to empower families to provide themselves with lowcost, healthful, fresh food through establishment of a home garden. How does she accomplish this? Dahlbach, along with other Marshall-Putnam Master Gardener volunteers, provide families in need with initial supplies and skills to start a home garden. Additionally, they encourage youth participation through classes teaching basic gardening and cooking using fresh, home-grown produce. An ongoing problem with reaching this goal was finding the resources to support it. Every year, local companies graciously

donate most of the supplies to fulfill the project’s mission; however, resources often fall short of what is needed. Through the Know More Grow More mini-grants provided by the U of I Master Gardener and 4-H programs, this struggle will be minimized. On March 7, Dahlbach was awarded $780 to further support this successful program that’s offered to families in need in Marshall and Putnam counties. This year, thanks in part to the grant award, the Master Gardeners will partner with U of I Extension 4-H and Nutrition and Wellness programs to involve youths by having older 4-H members teach cooking classes to younger children through programs offered at local libraries. Anyone interested in attending container gardening classes taught by the Marshall-Putnam Master Gardeners will may attend any one of the following classes: Thursday, April 11, at 6 p.m. at the Magnolia Library; and Tuesday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m. at the Toluca Library. These classes are free to the public and pre-registration isn’t required. A panel discussion will follow the class to answer questions about gardening. For more information, call the LaSalle County Extension office at 815-433-0707.

OUR VIEW

| PERSPECTIVE

Putnam County Record / putnamcountyrecord.com • Wednesday, April 10, 2019

School finances should continue to be published hen local governments want to publicize upcoming events, they don’t just post them on their websites — they go to the local newspaper. They do this because they know that the local media are the most effective way of to get information to their constituents. Lawmakers long have recognized this, too. That’s why Illinois requires each of its more than 800 public school districts to publish an annual statement of affairs in local newspapers. Yet every so often, the complaints rise anew that these notices, which are placed in the newspapers at discounted advertising rates, are burdensome. The latest proposal, HB 2485, would remove the requirement that school districts publish financial information in local newspapers. These statements are detailed reports on the financial activities of

the local government that is by far the largest beneficiary of homeowners’ property tax bills. They tell, in detail, how much of our property taxes are spent each year on education, operations and maintenance, debt service, transportation and other categories. They also list the names of people employed by the district and the contractors with which it does business. Looking them over, you can see how many people earn salaries of more than $90,000 a year, for example, or which companies are the district’s largest vendors. This is important information, and it is important that citizens continue to be presented with it on an annual basis in the newspaper. Removing that requirement in favor of just having the information posted in a hard-to-find corner of the internet — if indeed it is posted at all — would be a move toward more

government secrecy. For one, people won’t look for this information on their own. This is what newspapers do: Present readers with information. For those who do seek it out, legal notices from every newspaper in Illinois already are available online a publicnoticeillinois.com, which is maintained free of charge by the Illinois Press Association. For another, many school districts will not post this information online, and no one will ensure that all 800 do so. Ample proof exists that many government bodies already fail to live up to requirements about posting information online. Utah is the only state to remove the requirement that public bodies post public notices about their activities. They did so in 2009; by 2011 the requirement was reinstated because local governments were not meeting the requirements online.

The same would be true here. A recent study by the Citizens Advocacy Center of more than 750 public body websites in Illinois found that only three-quarters posted notices of upcoming meetings, less than 60 percent complied with posting meeting agendas, and less than half complied with the requirement to post approved meeting minutes on their website. We have not seen any data that suggests local government will save any appreciable money by not having to publish public notices. And the public certainly will not be better served. Newspapers are the most reliably published source of local information in our society today. It’s why we call what they print “the record.” Removing the requirement that school districts publicly disclose a detailed account of their finances in local newspapers is not reform. It is regression. The General Assembly should vote down the proposal.

following the Putnam County High School prom on Saturday, April 27, 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, even including Apple watches, the latest and best in high-end electronic gifts, Solo cordless headphones, restaurant and shopping gift certificates, and many other prizes. Some gifts are auctioned off at the end of the night, while other items are given by raffle drawings so that all have a chance to win valuable prizes. Every student also receives a gift Afterglow T-shirt with this year’s theme art, if present at evening’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. We also need your help in discouraging any possible post-prom parties or activities that would draw students away from the enjoyment of this event. We hope for 100 percent participation in this year’s Afterglow “Carnival” on April 27. Thank you for your support!

roadside. Obey Scott’s Law and give first responders room to do their jobs! Distracted driving is a pervasive issue that contributes to thousands of injuries and deaths each year. The IIA encourages motorists to drive fully focused in support of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Anything that takes the driver’s eyes off the roadway, hands off the steering wheel or thoughts off the task at hand is a driving distraction. Commit to not using your cellphone while in the driver’s seat. Adjust seat position, radio, temperature control and navigational system before leaving the driveway. Confirm all passengers are properly buckled. Pets should be inside a crate. Organize food, drinks, tolls and other items you might need to access during the trip. Fully engaged motorists are ready to react when unexpected weather, traffic or roadway situations arise. Make safe driving your top priority. Everything else can wait. Let’s all do our part to protect first responders and improve Illinois’ highway crash statistics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Parents asked to support post-prom Afterglow party To the editor: Open letter to prom parents: 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 Putnam County High School juniors, seniors and their dates — even including those who do not plan to attend prom. We need your help in encouraging your student to attend — 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, Plinko and a brand new SkeeBall event, in addition to a fun mock casino in which students will use play money and gather their winnings for use in an auction for valuable prizes at the end of the night. The event will begin immediately

Distracted driving kills; be fully engaged when behind the wheel To the editor: An alarming number of Illinois State Police officers have been struck by motorists this year. Three have died. Knowing these crashes were preventable makes the statistics even more disturbing. The Illinois Insurance Association and its member companies urge drivers to protect emergency responders by following traffic laws, avoiding distractions, and never driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Illinois’ rules of the road require drivers to yield, slow down, and if possible, change lanes when emergency vehicles are stopped along the
