GRANVILLE — Putnam County Schools Superintendent Carl Carlson has been fielding numerous inquiries about the April 2 Putnam County School Board election results.

There has been some confusion in regard to current Board President Jim Gibson’s race. While Gibson received the lowest amount of votes, he ran unopposed and therefore retains his seat.

Emily Chiado was unopposed and won from her township. Adriane Shore defeated Gretchen Currie, who challenged from the same township. Michael Borri defeated Jason Judd to be elected to the remaining two years of an original four-year term.

Membership on the board is restricted to a maximum of three members from any congressional township. The area of residence of those elected to fill unexpired terms is taken into consideration in determining the winners of the full terms.

PUTNAM COUNTY BOARD

Auditor and supervisor of assessments both cite six-figure problems

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamocountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — Putnam County Treasurer Kevin Kunkel wasn’t in attendance at the April 8 Putnam County Board meeting, but he’ll face challenging questions the next time he meets with the board.

Supervisor of Assessments Tammy Mehalic and independent auditor Kim Bird, of Arch Hopkins & Associates, both spoke of financial problems facing the county.

After the board’s approval of the March 4 resolution to allow “as needed” interfund loans of up to $330,000 from the Federal Aid Matching Fund, similar to last year, Kunkel said he expected the county Kevin would be borrowing before the end Kunkel of April. He also said he expected Putnam the county would financially make County it until it receives tax revenue at the end of June. treasurer Mehalic sees things differently.

“I don’t see us making it to June 30,” Mehalic told the board on April 8.

She cautiously added Kunkel may know something she doesn’t, but said the conservative calculations her office made of known and dependable revenue don’t add up to being enough to meet expenses.

She said the amounts of several sources of revenue have become unpredictable and have been steadily declining over the past few years, Luke so her office didn’t include them in Holly their financial forecast.

Mehalic said the county borrowed Acting board $25,000 in March and another chairman $125,000 for April expenses from the county’s Federal Aid Matching Fund.

“There’s only $160,000 left in that fund, and there’s a potential $300,000 gap,” she told the board.

Mehalic later said the county had just received a corporate personal property replacement tax (CPPRT) payment of $60,000 from the state, which drops her estimated potential gap to $240,000.

She added the county needs approximately $100,000 a month to meet payroll and insurance expenses and roughly another $100,000 a month for other county operations. By her office’s calculations, the county can expect $413,000 in revenue through June 30.

Kunkel reported a balance of $139,000 in the county’s General Fund at the end of February.

“Which is roughly $130,000 less than the month before,” he said.

From May to June of last year, Mehalic said, the county needed to borrow $130,000. She also said other sources of income to meet expenses “are getting wiped out.”

“At the rate we’re going, we’ll be borrowing in

Otherwise, you’re just guessing.”

Kim Bird

independent auditor, Arch Hopkins & Associates January. We have to start thinking about how we’re going to address this,” she said.

“We can’t keep doing this,” Luke Holly, acting board chairman, said.

Auditor’s assessment Bird’s assessment of the county’s financial prospects made the situation seem even more dire, citing “weakness” and “significant deficiencies.”

She said the combination of decreasing revenues and increasing liabilities resulted in the county overspending by approximately $230,000 last year. She added the cost of salaries, insurance and benefits will always be the county’s largest expenses.

Despite the county making spending reductions in several other areas, Bird said, “It’s just not enough.”

She said over the past five years, property tax revenue has increased five percent, but both sales tax revenue and revenue from fees and fines have decreased. State reimbursements have remained level.

“The train has come around the bend, and this is what we’re looking at. We’re going to have to start asking harder questions and making more difficult decisions,” board member Charlie Lenkaitis said.

Bird recommended the board adopt new practices to have a more thorough understanding of the county’s financial situation.

“You need to have a clear cash balance at the end of the year. Otherwise, you’re just guessing,” she said.

She also said that rather than just “approving the bills,” the board needs to document each expense paid, month-by-month, so nothing is overlooked.

“The county also needs a long-term plan, for five years, to know where the county is going, rather than for just one year,” Bird said.

Probation officer Putnam County Probation Officer Patricia Hohulin requested the board make it so parents of juvenile offenders are responsible for the detention costs of their children. She said it costs $125 a day to house a juvenile offender, more if medical care is required. She added if an offender committed a serious crime and was detained for an extended period that the cost to

the county could be significant.

“A parent is both financially and morally responsible for their child,” she said, adding that her office makes every effort to work with families to find both appropriate and affordable solutions for their individual situations.

County highways Susie Simmons reported on behalf of Pat Sloan, county engineer. She said rising oil prices have caused the bids for the upcoming season of road work to surpass township estimates.

She said most bids throughout both Marshall and Putnam counties have come in between 1 and 8 percent higher than expected. Granville Township received a bid 21 percent higher than estimated and chose not to pursue the project.

Instead, the township would use those funds to help meet the increased costs of another project.

Senachwine Township has $57,000 worth of road projects planned, Magnolia Township has $80,000, Hennepin Township has $64,000 and Granville Township has $56,000. The board tabled approval until its May meeting in hope of discussing it with Sloan.

Simmons also said an electronics collection event will be held from noon to 6 p.m. on April 26 at the municipal building on Railroad Street in Toluca.

Use of building The board tabled Sheriff Kevin Doyle’s request that the non-profit Braveheart — Children In Need organization be allowed to use the Office of Emergency Management building.

The Braveheart organization helps children who have been removed from their homes because of abuse, neglect or both. Doyle said the group would typically need the building only a couple of times a month for a few hours at a time and wouldn’t require anything additional.

In other items • Board member William Holmes resigned his seat, effective immediately. The Putnam County Democratic Central Committee will put forth a nominee to fill the vacancy.

• The board approved amending the Enterprise Zone ordinance to include an additional 18 acres to encompass expansions at the Van-Packer company in Buda and the Kasbeer Farmers Elevator Co-op in Kasbeer. These additions won’t have any effect on Putnam County finances since they are both located in Bureau County.

• Putnam County Zoning Officer Jim Burger reported the demolition at the steel mill site is moving forward and that, despite appearances, is well organized. The many piles of debris on the site are each made up of different grades of steel.

• The next Putnam County Board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on May 13.

House Recap: House passes bill calling for teaching work ethics in public schools

BY CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS SPRINGFIELD — Public school students in Illinois might have to start learning about work ethics as early as the sixth grade under a bill that passed the state House on April 12.

Rep. Camille Lilly, a Chicago Democrat, sponsored the bill, which says that beginning in grade 6, “students should be introduced to the importance of developing and applying a work ethic in a variety of contexts.” That includes such concepts as professionalism, trustworthiness, integrity, initiative and respecting authority, and arriving on time, according to the bill.

A number of Republicans opposed the bill, arguing that it would be an unfunded mandate on schools and teachers, and that most teachers were already providing that kind of instruction.

The legislation, House Bill 2263, passed by a vote of 69-39. It now moves to the Senate.

Here’s a look at other bills that passed the House late last week: HB 3462: Allows school districts to offer courses on hunting safety, based on possible guidelines developed by the State Board of Education. Vote: 114-0 HB 2847: States that employers cannot retaliate against an employee for requesting leave

to donate blood, organs, or bone marrow.

Vote: 114-0 HB 3302: Updates the state’s law to allow two years for someone to file complaints concerning delays and denials of special education services. Timeline contingent on the creation of the State Board of Education’s “student-specific corrective action plan.” Vote: 114-0 HB 2121: Removes the lifetime ban on becoming a school bus driver for those convicted of a cannabis misdemeanor in the past 20 years.

Vote: 108-0 HB 2259: Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to create a list of preferred medical drugs in collaboration with the state’s Medicaid managed care organizations. Vote: 112-0 HB 2: Creates a list of 21 rights for women in pregnancy and childbirth, for which the Department of Public Health must create rules to protect. Aimed at addressing disparate rates of infant and mother mortality and health care for minorities. Vote: 67-35 HB 190: Requires school districts to connect “at-risk” students with academic support programs, and to notify parents of such support programs, both within the school and the community. Vote: 91-22

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report MARK IL1550250

Source of Drinking Water

Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2018 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water.

The source of drinking water used by MARKis ground water For more information regarding this report contact: Name: Michael Holmes Phone: (815) 343-9942 Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre el agua que usted bebe. Tradúzcalo ó hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Source Water Information Source Water Name WELL 1 (01501) GW WELL 2 (01502) GW WELL 3 (01928) GW

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: - Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

- Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.

- Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

- Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturallyoccurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at (815)343-9942. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/ swap-fact-sheets.pl.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source of Water: MARK The Illinois EPA does not consider the source water of this facility to be susceptible to IOC, VOC, or SOC contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: the land-use activities in the recharge area of the wells, the available hydrogeologic data, monitoring conducted at the wells, and monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system.

OGLESBY

IVCC receives another $100,000 from Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg estate OGLESBY — The largest gift in Illinois Valley Community College’s 95-year history grew this week to $1.2 million as the college received an additional contribution from the estate of Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg.

Dr. Rose Marie Lynch, executor of the Weeg estate, presented IVCC President Jerry Corcoran with a check for $105,560, the remainder of the estate, to bring the final gift to more than $1.2 million.

Weeg, a longtime English instructor and humanities division chair, died April 19, 2015, at age 84.

Following the first gift of $1.1 million in August 2017, the IVCC board named the college’s 600-seat auditorium the Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg Cultural Centre.

The bequest has endowed Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg Arts Scholarships, provided a major gift to the Scholarship Campaign of 2015-17, and will provide perpetual support for the Adult Education department, Student Emergency Living Needs Fund and IVCC Foundation operations.

“This monumental and unprecedented gift from a beloved professor and academic leader has had a profound impact on our institution and will continue to do so for generations,” said Corcoran.

Lynch, who was hired by Weeg in 1970 to teach English and journalism at IVCC, said, “This bequest is a tangible legacy, but Mary Margaret’s true legacy is in the thousands of students, teachers and friends she inspired with her love of language, literature, music, art and travel.”

Corcoran added, “How fitting it is that Mary would entrust Rosie, her protégé, to carry on her

Weeg retired in 1989 — 35 years after beginning her teaching career at LaSalle-Peru High School and while also teaching part-time at IVCC predecessor

LaSalle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College.

In 1964, she was appointed chairman of L-P’s English department and in 1967, when the IVCC district opened, was named chair of the college’s humanities division. She resigned that chair in 1980 to return to teaching full time.

HENRY HENRY — Corbin Shaver (Jay) and Luke Bowen (Arty) are having a ball while working hard preparing for the upcoming production of “Lost in Yonkers” at River Valley Players in Henry.

Jay (15 1/2) and Arty (13 1/2) start out just trying to survive the sweltering heat of “Hot House Grandma” while they sit perspiring and impatiently waiting for their father, Eddie Kurnitz (Michael Mendola), to finish talking with their grandmother. These two brothers have no idea what is about to transpire.

Luke’s impeccable comedic timing sets the stage for Arty’s honest outlook on life and allows him to deliver a load of laughs regardless of the weighty problems at hand. Jay’s desire to be the more mature older brother causes him to take himself much too seriously and often lands himself in some pretty hilarious moments as he works double-time to talk himself out of trouble. The chemistry on stage between Arty and Jay is enough to cause their parents to question whether or not they are actually brothers in real life.

“Lost in Yonkers” is an amazing story and one that everyone can relate to. Neil Simon is known as

one of America’s greatest playwrights. During a 1997 interview with Mike Wood, Simon said, “‘Lost in Yonkers’ is a favorite of mine, first because I think it is the deepest play. ...” Neil Simon goes on to share how the story was built around the four main characters and how they became so incredibly dysfunctional through their stern mother’s teaching them to survive rather than to live.

“Lost in Yonkers” opens on Saturday, April 27, with continued performances on Sunday, April 28; Friday, May 3; Saturday, May 4; and Sunday, May 5 at St. John’s Community Center, 1301 Second St. in Henry.

IVCC’s ag program was well represented by female students, including Torino Wick (from left) of Ottawa, Lainee Day and Carly Mesarchik of Streator, McKenzie Cain of Princeton and Catie Nowakowski of Hennepin.

Alumnus highlights ag open house OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s annual agriculture spring open house attracted about 25 prospective students who met with current students and heard from a program alumnus.

Students from Fieldcrest, La­Moille and Putnam County high schools heard from one of the leaders of IVCC’s first class, Trent Porter of Ottawa, now a junior at Western Illinois University.

Porter, IVCC’s first ag club president who also played baseball for the Eagles, is a member of the finance committee for Alpha Gamma Rho, WIU’s ag fraternity.

“After two years in IVCC’s program, I was well prepared for my classes at Western,” he told the students. Porter said he has secured employment with Grainco FS of Serena this summer.

Visitors met three of IVCC’s six ag instructors — Willard Mott, Doug Stockley and Gagan Sidhu.

Mott, the full-time program coordinator and instructor, said 10 percent of all jobs in the LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam county region are ag-related. Nationally, employment opportunities in food, agriculture, renewable resources and environment are expected to increase by nearly 58,000 jobs per year through 2020.

In three years, IVCC’s ag program has grown to 17 ag classes, three degrees and more than $44,000 in ag-restricted scholarships. Program facilities include a 150-acre college farm, a soils and crops wet lab, ag mechanics lab and greenhouse.

Panthers fall to Red Devils, defeat Midland SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Red Devils scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth to go up for good in a 5-2 win over rival Putnam County in a hard-fought game April 11 at Kirby Park in Spring Valley.

Cole Wozniak batted in the go-ahead run in the fifth, and Brayden DeBates followed with an RBI hit of his own to put the Red Devils up 4-2.

Matt Hultz blasted a two-run shot to give the Red Devils a 2-0 lead in the second.

The Panthers tied the game with two in the third inning on an RBI hit by Caleb Tonozzi and a sac fly by Dan Sabotta.

Alec Bulak pitched three scoreless innings in relief of starter Payton Plym to earn the win.

Trez Rybarczyk kept the Panthers silent in the seventh with two strikeouts to notch a save.

Plym and DeBates led the Red Devils with two hits each.

Tonozzi and Pyszka had two hits apiece for Putnam County.

— Kevin Hieronymus, news@ putnamcountyrecord.com

Putnam County 19, Midland 5: The host Timberwolves jumped out to a 4-3 lead after one inning before Putnam County’s offense exploded for five runs in the second inning, four in the third and seven in the fourth for a 19-5 10-run rule victory on April 9.

Dan Sabotta led the way (3 hits, 4 RBI), with ample help from Nolan Whitney (2 hits), Luke Olson (2 hits, 3 RBI), Caleb Tonozzi (2 hits, 2 RBI), and Jakob Pyszka (1 hit, 4 RBI). Brayden Holmes added a hit, three walks and scored 4 runs.

Sabotta, pitching 2.1 innings, earned the victory in relief of starter Chance Mayers and reliever Max Magana.

ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Police officers eligible for criminal justice credit hours OGLESBY — Police officers will be granted nine credit hours toward an Illinois Valley Community College criminal justice degree or certificate, Criminal Justice Program Coordinator Kevin Hermes has announced.

Beginning this fall, state of Illinois-certified officers will be eligible for the credit hours, Hermes said. The Criminal Justice department will host an informational session from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, at Ottawa Center, 321

W. Main St., to discuss the program enhancement and other topics.

“We are pleased to recognize the education certified police officers have completed. These credits will bring them closer to completing their degree or certificate, advancing them in their current job or leading to another criminal justice field,” said Hermes.

The credits are for CRJ 2010 Criminal Investigation, CRJ 2020 Criminal Law, and one, three-credit elective option within a crimi-

nal justice program.

To qualify, students must provide documentation showing completion of no less than 560 hours of basic police academy training from an Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board police academy. Documentation includes police academy transcript and a copy of the state of Illinois Peace Officer Certification.

Regarding the information session, Hermes said, “Current high school or IVCC students, potential

students and police officers are all welcome to attend to learn about our program, the different fields within criminal justice and changes to the program.

“Criminal justice goes beyond the squad car. From court reporting to private security to community relations, there’s something for everyone to better serve the community,” he said.

RSVP at www.ivcc.edu/events or call Hermes for more information at 815-224-0491.
