EASTER ‘EGG’CITEMENT! Term limits for school board members?

Legislation proposal would limit school board members to two terms

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — A recent proposal from the Illinois legislature would place term limits on school board members. A concern of this proposal is how it could affect small school districts in rural areas where finding interested and qualified candidates could be a challenge.

The synopsis for IL-HB476, sponsored by Illinois Rep. Thaddeus Jones of the 29th District, states, “Amends the School Code and the Public Community College Act. With respect to school boards of school districts and boards of trustees of community college districts, provides that a person may not serve as a board member for more than 2 terms of office that begin on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act.” Currently, the proposed legislation has been referred back to the Rules Committee for further review after it was assigned to the Executive Committee.

Putnam County Superintendent Carl Carlson said the impact it could have on small, rural districts is there may not be the same level of interested candidates as there would be in larger, more populated areas. He added, though, that having a larger number of interested candidates doesn’t mean they would be better.

“If the proposed legislation is passed, it would mean new faces and perhaps new perspectives would rotate through the cycle. The key would be to hopefully make sure everyone on the board does not end their terms in the same year.

It would be critical to try and offset the terms, so some continuity could still exist,” Carlson said.

He added his experience with the school board members he’s known and worked with have been terrific and focusing on the success of the students is what’s most important.

“Our school board is extremely student centered, and the decision making revolves around what is best for students.

As long as that’s the goal in the decision-making process, there should be no need to interrupt high-functioning school boards that help oversee successful operations,” he said.

ARUKAH/MARQUIS

Emotional well-being and the modern world Arukah Institute of Healing launched with help from Marquis Energy

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com PRINCETON — While our world seems more connected than ever, many feel alone and isolated, lost in the rush of the digital age. A new non-profit has been formed to help — The Arukah Institute of Healing.

For whatever reason, the people of the Illinois Valley are particularly struggling with emotional health, as data shows this area has dramatically higher rates of mental health challenges, self-harm, drug overdoses and suicide.

According to public health statistics, suicide rates are two times higher in the Illinois Valley than in Cook County, the largest urban county in the state. Putnam County has the highest suicide rate in the state, and self-inflicted injuries requiring treatment at a hospital are three times higher in the Illinois Valley than in Cook County

• TERM LIMITS Continued from Page 1 Current Putnam County School Board President Vicky Nauman was appointed in 2007 to fill a vacancy and has since been elected to two consecutive, four-year terms. She’s served as the board presi-

encourage the acceptance that more people are struggling with anxiety, PTSD, depression, addiction and abuse than we realize. Mental health struggles don’t discriminate and can affect even the least likely of people,” she said.

She attributed part of the area’s high rate of mental health issues to a lack of accessibility to mental health care, saying when care is available it’s at a high cost and added with little to no insurance coverage, people are inhibited from seeking the help they need.

Scruggs also said she’d like to work to help bring together the different area organizations providing mental health services and develop a synergy with their efforts.

The Arukah Institute of Healing will be sponsoring the Hope For Your Future conference on April 29 at the New Hope Church of

In the last two years, drug overdose deaths in this area are more than 30 percent higher than in Cook County.

“The Illinois Valley is federally under-served with regards to mental health. While there are a few options, we’ve noticed a lack of long-term, lowto-no cost, holistic therapies. We want to journey with our clients long term to provide life-changing results and provide multiple types of therapies because we don’t believe there’s a one-size-fitsall approach to healing,” Sarah Scruggs, founder and executive director of the Arukah Institute, said.

Incorporated as a non-profit in December, the Arukah Institute will be taking a different approach to mental health than traditional counseling. Using art, nature, exercise and the benefit of new relationships, they’ll be seeking to help restore the broken connections

existing within our communities through different approaches and the acceptance of multiple beliefs.

Scruggs also said she feels a decentralized model of program implementation is going to benefit everyone by eliminating the barrier of access.

“We want to be accessible, approachable and for our programs to be able to be held anywhere, designed and adaptable to the assets of our different communities. We want to provide what the residents want and need,” Scruggs said.

The programs have yet to be finalized, but Scruggs said they’ll be holding a healing conference on April 29; group workshops in May; outdoor yoga sessions in June; and group gardening projects next spring The institute will also be conducting prevention research and will be open to suggestions for program ideas.

“We want activities

which will bring people together and create relationships for them and to be able to offer services people actually desire.

There’s so much more to mental health than just sitting across a desk from someone and talking,” she said.

The launch of The Arukah Institute of Healing was helped through a donation from Marquis Energy.

“We’re proud to support the Arukah Institute of Healing as they provide critical mental health services to heal emotional wounds in our local community. We hope many are blessed through their programs,” said Mark Marquis, CEO of Marquis Energy.

Scruggs said the institute will be working to help remove the stigma associated with mental struggles.

“There’s often a ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ mentality in rural areas, and we want to

dent during the past four years and said she’s been honored to serve.

“I have long been a proponent of having ‘new/fresh’ faces on the school board team. New members often bring a different and sometimes, challenging perspective to the board. And that’s a good thing, it makes you think, consider and work

towards consensus,” Nauman said.

However, Nauman also said finding someone willing to donate their time to work with a governing body can be challenging.

“So many good, potential candidates are already spread thin by being involved in other areas of school activities, volunteer-

ing in their communities or church, and more often than not, they’re also busy raising children while often working outside the home,” she said.

Nauman said when the board is working well, is fiscally responsible and supportive of the students, it can be hard to convince people to run for a position

on the board.

“On the other hand, when there’s a feeling of discontent, you find multiple candidates stepping forward. This conundrum will exist no matter what, but on the whole I feel that setting term limits will only make matters worse for smaller, rural districts,” Nauman said.

ROTARY

PC Rotary hosts annual Agri-Business night MCNABB — Putnam County Rotary’s annual Agri-Business night brought together area farmers, FFA members, agri-businesses and bankers on March 16 to celebrate National Ag Week at Goldasich Hall in McNabb.

Brenda Bickerman chaired the event with the aid of committee members Bob Cofoid, Darrell Alleman, Beth Acuncius, Debbie Buffington and Rotary Club President Randy Borio.

This year’s speaker, Jason Solberg, brought a message inspiring “best practices” in chemical application, as assistant director of stewardship programs for the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, headquartered in Bloomington.

Filling in for Jeane Payne, association president, who was unable to attend, Solberg explained the voluntary, non-profit association receives help from ag retailers, growers and the University of Illinois with funding from the Nutrient Research and Education Council (NREC) to help the ag industry focus on using the right amount of nitrogen in the field — not only important from a yield and financial aspect, but incredibly important in keeping essential nutrients in the field and out of our Illinois River watershed.

One of the programs Solberg particularly oversees, called “Variable Nitrogen Rate Trials,” to find the right rate of nitrogen for each specific field and to use the data collected from the N-Rate trial to help feed what is called the Maximum Return to Nitrogen Calculator (MRTN Calculator), which

An example of the importance of these studies can be found in the Lake Springfield Watershed.

Lake Springfield, like many lakes within the state, has experienced high nitrate levels over the years, requiring a pro-active approach lest all area residents of an affected watershed are relegated to drinking only bottled water – which nearly became a reality in that area and could easily occur elsewhere without ecologically sound planning and more efficient, economical usage of chemicals in farming operations.

CPASA

CPASA announces National Take Back Day On April 29, CPASA (Community Partners Against Substance Abuse), Princeton Police Department, Granville Police Department, Tiskilwa Police Department, Wyanet Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

Medications will be accepted for disposal at the following locations: • Princeton Police Department, 605 Elm Place, Princeton from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Granville Police Department/Village Hall, 316 S. McCoy St., Granville from 10 a.m. to noon.

• Tiskilwa Fire Department, 135 N. High St., Tiskilwa from 9 a.m. to noon.

• Wyanet Police Department/Village Hall, 101 S. Maple St., Wyanet from 9 a.m. to noon.

The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in 366 tons (more than 730,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall in its 12 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in more than 7.1 million pounds — more than 3,500 tons — of pills.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

CPASA also has the ongoing Prescription Drug Disposal Program called P2D2 with locations at the Princeton Police Department, Bureau County Sheriff’s Office and Jail, Spring Valley Police Department, Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, Granville Police Department, Ladd Police Department, and Walnut Police Department.

CPASA has collected over 10,570 pounds of drugs locally since July 2010.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Health department releases March food inspection scores

BY LYLE GANTHER lganther@bcrnews.com The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it.

It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations

AGRICULTURE

The Farm and Rural Ag Network launches While the agriculture industry has adapted to the vast array of communication outlets, locating quality agricultural podcasts can be a challenge when surfing the web or iTunes. Rob Sharkey of Bradford, Tim Hammerich of Austin, Texas, and Wendell Schumm of Ontario, Canada, have recognized the need to give ag podcasts a centralized home online, leading to the launch of The Farm and Rural Ag Network.

The Farm and Rural Ag Network will provide curated content for farmers, consumers and those interested in food and agribusiness. At launch, the network lineup will include Shark Farmer Podcast, Ontario AgCast, Future of Agriculture Podcast, Farmer & The City Girl Podcast, and Grow Smart with BASF. The network plans to add additional agriculturally focused podcasts in the coming months.

Sharkey, Illinois grower and host of the Shark Farmer Podcast, believes the network fills a gap in the agriculture community, saying, “Podcast are gaining in popularity because of how specific they can appeal to an audience’s interest. With farmers being such a small part of the population, it’s not surprising that farmers and ranchers are turning to ag podcasts. It gives them a chance to find sources of information and entertainment with an ag twist.”

Following the launch, The Farm and Rural Ag Network will be booth sponsors at Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, on March 2-4. The network’s goal is to get the message that they are providing a variety of ag shows in one centralized location.

PERU

Chicago man charged with Peru armed robbery at McDonald’s PERU — At 4:29 a.m. Saturday, April 15, an armed robbery took place at the Peru south McDonald’s located at 924 Shooting Park Road.

During the robbery, which was committed by a fully-masked gunman, a McDonald’s employee was injured when struck in the face with a firearm. The employee was taken by ambulance to Illinois Valley Community Hospital for treatment of facial injuries.

The offender was described as fully-masked black male wearing dark clothing that fled the area on foot and was armed with a semi-automatic handgun. Officers from both Peru and LaSalle police departments responded to the 911 call and searched the area for the offender to no avail, however, physical evidence was recovered during a search of several blocks surrounding the restaurant.

An intensive investigation into the robbery was then initiated by Peru police patrol officers and detectives who were assisted by two assistant LaSalle County State’s Attorneys.

At approximately 7 a.m. on April 15, Peru police took a potential suspect into custody who has been held since at the Peru city jail as the investigation continued. Since then a team of Peru officers conducted a search of an area residence. Additionally a search warrant was obtained for a vehicle believed to be involved in the robbery and attack.

At approximately noon, the vehicle was towed to the Peru police station where a search warrant was executed on the vehicle.

During the course of the investigation, police recovered a firearm, currency, video evidence, a money drawer taken in the robbery, suspected clothing, and the mask believed to have been worn during the robbery.

The LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s office has approved charges of armed robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery against the suspect. He is identified as Eddie Stiff, 48, of Chicago. Stiff is currently on parole and is believed to have an extensive criminal history including murder and armed robbery.

The McDonald’s employee’s injuries were serious, but not life-threatening. Still was processed at the Peru Police Department and taken to the county jail, where he was expected to be in bond court that evening.

ROBERT BOUXSEIN

RICHARD WEDDELL SR.

LARGO, FLA. — Robert Frank Bouxsein of Largo, Fla., passed away Wednesday, April 5, 2017, at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Fla., surrounded by family.

“Bob” was born March 27, 1931, to the late Frank Bouxsein and Evelyn (Gunn) Daugherty in Spring Valley. He attended Hopkins High School in Granville. He was employed at Granville National Bank. Following that he served our country with the U.S. Navy for four years. He then was employed at Streator National Bank for 10 years. He moved his family to Largo, Fla., and was employed by Pinellas Central Bank. Bob resumed his education and graduated from Pinellas Vocational Technical Institution and was then employed by Sheraton Sand Key Hotel. In his retiring years he worked as sexton at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

On Sept. 20, 1952, he married Velma Zellmer in the County Line Lutheran Church. After his retirement he and his wife spent their summers in Spruce Pine, N.C. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Velma; two daughters, Taryn (John) Medina of Burnsville, N.C., and Tanya Nicole Winters of Apex, N.C.; and seven grandchildren, Robert, Landon, Collin and Ashlyn Medina, and Alyssa, Ty and Natalie Turk.

PERSPECTIVE

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 • Putnam County Record / putnamcountyrecord.com

Term limits for school boards?

Apply them to legislators first!

We’re not in favor of the Legislature imposing term limits on school board members and community college trustees until legislators impose term limits on themselves.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

That’s one of the first thoughts that came to mind when we heard about a new piece of legislation introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives.

House Bill 476 would impose term limits (two terms maximum) on people who serve on school boards and community college boards of trustees across Illinois.

The motivation behind the legislation, as we understand it, is that the sponsor, state Rep. Thaddeus Jones, D-Calumet City, believes bringing new members onto such boards at regular intervals would bring a fresh look and new ideas regarding the various issues that confront them.

Perhaps that’s so.

But it would also brush aside the voices of experience of veteran school board members – community leaders who might still have a desire to serve, but who would be unceremoniously tossed off the board after two terms.

We point out there is already a way to limit the service of school and college board members. It’s called an election. Elections are regularly held so that voters can oust – or retain – members as they see fit.

Back to House Bill 476. Its sponsor must fervently believe in the idea of limiting terms of service on educational boards, or he wouldn’t have taken the time and trouble to write the bill and introduce it.

We would feel much better about the whole thing if legislators would first introduce and approve legislation to limit their own terms.

Illinois lawmakers are legendary about passing laws that impact everyone else in the state but exempt themselves.

And look at the Illinois Legislature! Its House speaker, Michael Madigan, has been in the Illinois House since 1971 – 46 years!

Its Senate president, John Cullerton, has been in the Legislature since 1979 – 12 years in the House, and since 1991 in the Senate – 38 years in all!

They preside over a Legislature that is notorious for not bringing a fresh look and new ideas to the worsening financial issues that confront the state.

Illinois hasn’t had a full-fledged budget for more than 21 months. As of Wednesday, it has a $12.8 billion backlog of unpaid bills, according to the state comptroller.

Illinois chronically spends more than it takes in. State universities and community colleges are suffering mightily from lack of state support, as are human services providers and other agencies.

Surely the Legislature is a prime example of the need for term limits, if any institution is. And yet, one of its members wants to impose term limits on someone else.

Blatant hypocrisy is one way of describing it.

“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander” is another.

Let legislators term-limit themselves first before forcing the issue with local school boards and community college districts across Illinois.

Observations from the Field of Dreams The 2017 Cubs have made these key additions: RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Koji Uehara, OF Jon Jay, PHP Eddie Butler, and they signed lefthander David Rollins as a non-roster invitee.

Their key losses are CF Dexter Fowler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, OF Jorge Soler, OF Chris Coghlan, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Jason Hammel, catcher David Ross and RHP Trevor Cahill.

The estimated opening day 25-man roster will be $156 million. The team’s new vice-president of human resources, Ann Weiser, is in charge of hiring and developing prospects to join the Cubs’ business roster, where jobs range from ticket sellers to team historian.

The Cubs have 300 full-time employees and hire over a thousand seasonal employees each spring as ushers, ticket takers and other workers. The front office is growing — the Cubs have added 40 full-time positions since winning the 2016 World Series.

Parking spaces around Wrigley are to double at 1,100 spaces. The rates will double from $2 an hour to $4 an hour.

Cubs rookie Ian Happ, who can play second base and the corners in the outfield, was sent down to Class AAA Iowa, after hitting .417 this spring. He would have been second in the Cactus League if he hadn’t fell just short of qualifying plate appearances.

He had an .833 slugging percentage and a .473 on base percentage.

Jake Arrieta and John Lackey are eligible for free agency at the end of the year.

For the first time since 1909 when the Cubs left Shreveport, La., as defending World Series champions, the 2017 Cubs left camp in Mesa, Ariz., as World Series champions.

COMMENTARY Darrell Alleman

That year in 1909, they opened against the same St. Louis Cardinals, just as they opened this season with the Cardinals in St. Louis.

It was the first time in 16,945 games they opened the season as defending World Series champions. The Cubs broke their own Major League single-season spring attendance record for a total of 226,933.

The average ticket to see the Cubs play in Sloan Park is $200.

The Cubs will open their Public Plaza next to Wrigley Field. It is called The Park at Wrigley.

Cubs Chairman Tom Rickets has likened it to the town squares of old Europe. Where McDonald’s restaurant was next to Wrigley, the Cubs have built a two-story tavern style restaurant with an outdoor terrace and an 8,400 square-foot store featuring Cubs merchandise.

The Cubs are considering creating their own regional sport network with fees so high fans could not afford to watch the Cubs. It was reported that one half of all Cub fans would be unable to watch the games.

My favorite player on the Cubs team is Kyle Schwarber, left fielder and catcher. He has played less than a half season and has accomplished things most Major Leaguers can only dream of. The Cubs selected the slugger with their fourth overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft out of Indiana University.

Now the 24-year-old has become a star on the loaded Cubs team, after playing in only 71 regular season

games. Kyle is a natural hitter. After playing two games in the Arizona fall league, he showed up to play in last fall’s World Series. He hit .412 with a 500 on base percentage in the seven games of the World Series.

Can you imagine what Kyle can do playing a whole season?

I also like Kris Bryant, the 2016 NL most valuable player. What about those eyes? Bryant’s dad, Mike, built a batting cage for his son. Mike taught Kris to hit the ball hard and hit it in the air. Every time Bryant swings, he tries to hit the bottom third of the ball.

I love Albert Almora Jr. who is a baseball player. In the 10th inning of the World Series last fall, Almora was sent into pinch run after Schwarber singled to lead off. Kris Bryant hit a fly ball off of Indian’s pitcher Shaw.

Almora broke halfway to second prepared to take off if the ball landed in the outfield or the wall. When he realized Rajai Davis was going to catch the ball, he dashed back to first and tagged the base, sprinting to second after the ball was caught. He ran the winning run into scoring position with one out, a head’s up play by a rookie.

I worry about the Cub pitchers this year and told Tom Hall that. Tom said, “The Cubs can give up quite a few runs and still win because they are loaded with sluggers and strong hitters.”

Also, the Cubs defense will help the pitchers. I want the Cubs to win another World Series this year, but I realize everyone has to stay healthy and Joe Maddon has to leave his pitcher in the game when they are pitching well in this fall’s World Series. I have not talked to anyone who agreed with how Joe managed his pitchers in last year’s seventh game in the World Series.

Our ‘family room’ was right under our noses I grew up in an old, drafty farmhouse. The woodwork had been painted white and was chipped in several places, and my grandmother had attempted to liven up the place by painting the dining room an aqua swimming pool blue and the kitchen a bright tangerine. Those colors nearly put my grandfather over the edge, but he never said a word about it. After all, if it made Grandma happy, then we were all happy. It was as simple as that.

The first floor of the farmhouse had a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, a front room and another room which was used as a bedroom. There was a front, side and back porch. Beneath the first floor, the cellar held the fire-breathing monster (a coal-burning furnace), several canning jars my grandmother had filled from the garden — all which were very dusty, and Scrappy, the cat — whose main job was to catch mice. On the second floor, there were three bedrooms and a door that led to the attic. That was it.

That was our house.

By today’s standards, it would probably be considered rather small. The rooms were not large, nor was there an open floor plan. The folks on House and Garden network would have had a heyday in that little house, however to us, it was all we knew — so it was perfect.

Almost.

You see, most of my friends were city slickers. They had no idea about farm life, farm chores or farmhouses.

I envied them terribly for a host of reasons — they could ride their bikes to a friend’s house, walk to school, go buy penny candy at the store, and they usually had something else I was missing. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but most of my city friends had a family room.

I had never heard the words “family

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Terri Simon room” until I would go visit or spend a day with one of my friends who lived in Princeton. I’d hear her mom say, “Why don’t you girls go play in the family room.” I thought that was so cool. A family room. A place where the entire family gathered to do a host of things like watch TV, play board or card games, practice the piano and more.

I envisioned my friend’s Dad reading the paper in the family room, while smoking his pipe. I knew the kids sat on the shag carpet in front of the TV for Saturday morning cartoons, eating a bowl of cereal — being careful to not spill a drop. Rainy days meant they were gathered around the coffee table with a monopoly board, a checker board or card games. Their Mom, no doubt, served them warm chocolate chip cookies and big glasses of milk. Today, I’m not so sure if the activities inside that room were what I wanted or the idea of having that extra place called a family room was what intrigued me. All I knew was that I felt like any of my friends who actually had a family room was really lucky. I can remember going home and begging my grandmother to change the extra bedroom on the first floor of the house into a family room.

I can still see the look on her face. She scrunched up her nose, wrinkled her brow, and quickly told me we didn’t need a family room because “every room in the house was a family room.” End of story.

I hadn’t thought about my youthful yearning for quite some time until a

few days ago when I heard a friend of mine tell her kids to go play in the family room. The memories came flooding back, and crazy as it sounds, there was still something inside of me that wished I had a family room back then. After all, a family room back then represented a family with money; it spoke of a functional family vs. my somewhat dysfunctional one; and it clearly sent the message to my youthful ears that much fun was had in that family’s family room.

What also came back to me was the look on Grandma’s face and the words she said to me — “every room in the house was a family room.” And she was right. Board games were played on the dining room table, on a TV tray in the living room, on the kitchen table, on one of the porches or on someone’s bed. Grandpa read the newspaper at the kitchen table, and we all sat around that table and talked to him incessantly while he read it. He did kick up his feet in the living room recliner every Sunday night, but he was usually asleep within a couple of minutes because he had worked so hard all week. Whoever got there first would climb up in the chair with him and go to sleep too. Grandma never made chocolate chip cookies or served them to us warm with big glasses of milk, but she’d pass by us and allow us to stick our hands in the ginger snap box and snag a couple tiny cookies. And while we were never told to go play in the family room, we were told countless times — in no uncertain terms — to get ourselves outside to play, or if we wanted to be inside, some chores would be found for us to do.

A family room. We never had one, but we had a family who made room for all of us in many, many ways.

If only today’s children could be so lucky.

PC students attend Teen Showcase

GRANVILLE — Twenty-six junior high and 14 Putnam County High School students were able to enjoy a day of self exploration at the Teen Showcase event held at Illinois Valley Community College and hosted by North Central Behavioral Health Systems.

The day was cost free for the students and paid in full by the PC Wellness Fund. Students received a free T-shirt, lunch and a spectacular day of presentations regarding teen issues. A total of 600 local students, Grades 7-12, were in attendance. Some of the “take aways” handed in by the attendees were: “Life doesn’t wait.

When you fall down, get back up. You can do anything.” — Vicky Page.

“It made me want to get better at what I want to do, so I can achieve my dream.” — Joseph Mecagni.

“One thing that I really liked about the event was the first speaker, Jeff Yalden. I wasn’t really sure about the whole event at first, but then I started to really enjoy the things he was talking about. He understood what it was like to be really angry and upset, and

“You should always ask for help and listen to other people.” — Ethan Turner.

“What I took away from this experience was that anger is like peeing your pants; everyone can see it, but only you can feel it.” — Josh Mattingly.

Students were encouraged by the speakers to not only use all the suggestions and motivation in their own lives, but to do something nice for someone everyday.

They were also encouraged to share what they had

learned. A lesson taught about social media safety suggested that students Google their user name and see just how secure their social footprint is. “What can I find out about you in just seven clicks” was a true eye opening presentation.

The three-dimensional creation also contains photos of several generations of ancestors and childhood memorabilia.

Creative arts for DAR Jeanne O’Melia presents program to DAR members PRINCETON — Members of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution enjoyed a program April 1 presented by artist Jeanne O’Melia. She traced her interest in all types of media and displayed a number of artful creations.

Often O’Melia retrieves discarded items from trails, waterways and curb sides. She uses these to make statements about the culture, as with her paper mache mask created out of discarded cigarette butts. However, she is also skilled with water colors and acrylics and is currently involved with cyanotype prints. A

dress of material created by this print method was displayed on a clothing dummy. It was created for the Bodice Project, an ovarian cancer awareness campaign. She has also contributed art to Project Wells for Wellness.

Information was shared

by Regent Diana Williamson about the DAR State Conference on April 28-30 and district mini-tour on June 1. The chapter will conclude collecting broken crayons for the crayon initiative at its May meeting.

A memorial service was conducted by Chaplain Lois Peterson for Mary Allen (Mrs. Robert H.), who passed Feb. 10, 2017.

Mary was an active, longtime member of the chapter. Memories were shared by members. The service was attended by her husband and their son, Glenn Allen.

American flag lapel pins and cards will be available at the May 5 meeting when the program will involve the members and sharing their photos and information on their Vietnam and Vietnam-era service members. Members have reported 43 relatives of these military men and women.

Members are reminded to bring their photos identified with a veteran’s name, their own name, and the relationship to the person depicted. Be prepared to share a few details about each one.

The May 5 meeting will be held at the Prouty Building beginning at 1:30 p.m. The program is titled, “This Is My Veteran.”

OGLESBY — A total of 40 upperclassmen from several district high schools participated in Illinois Valley Community College’s first Agriculture Open House on April 6.

Prospective ag students from Henry, Princeton, Putnam County, Streator, Earlville, Seneca, St. Bede Academy, Hall and LaSalle-Peru high schools heard an overview about the college’s revitalized program, toured campus and assisted with experiments and demonstrations in the program’s new lab.

“The feedback was very positive and encouraging,” said Willard Mott, agriculture instructor and coordinator.

Students also learned of IVCC’s new associate of applied science degree in agricultural business management.

Natalie Mahler, ag instructor and FFA advisor at Earlville High School, said IVCC’s new program gives students “another opportunity for ag education close to home” and said of Mott, “He is an excellent fit. I am excited to see what he will do with the program.”

Mahler speaks from experience. She revived Earlville’s ag program four years ago starting with 16 students. She now has 65 participants in the program at the high school level plus 22 seventh-graders.

“The feedback was very positive and encouraging.”

Buddy Haas, a student teacher at Seneca High School who is pursuing his master’s in ag education from the University of Illinois, also commended IVCC for reinvesting in agriculture.

“IVCC is in a huge ag community; their program will become a tremendous asset for high school graduates interested in ag,” he said.

A highlight of the day was the interaction between prospective students and IVCC’s current ag students, said Reed Wilson, who along with Mott coordinated the event.

Bellino is pursuing a degree in chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan University. He is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Area students named to Augustana College dean’s list

ROCK ISLAND — Augustana College announced 992 students were named to the dean’s list for the 2016-17 winter term. Students who have earned this academic honor have maintained a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale for courses taken during the term.

Area students include Gregory Goodman of Peru, a junior majoring in biology, and Abigail Smith of Peru, a senior majoring in music.

Students honored during IVCC awards banquet OGLESBY — More than 200 students were honored recently at the 50th annual Illinois Valley Community College Student Academic Awards Banquet.

Among honorees were Thomas J. McCormack Scholars Benjamin Bejster of Peru, Gabriel Braboy of Dalzell, Aelsa Butler of Arlington, Matthew Cole of Streator, Mauricio Hernandez of Mendota, Chloe Lund and Grace Minnick of Princeton, Holly Partridge of Ottawa, Sarah Pozzi of Peru and Michelle Reese of LaSalle.

To earn the college’s highest academic achievement, McCormack Scholars must maintain a minimum 3.75 grade point average in at least 14 semester hours over three consecutive semesters.

Butler and Trevor Finnan of Utica were also honored for being nominated for IVCC’s Phi Theta Kappa All-Illinois Academic Team, part of the larger All-USA Academic Team.

Nominations are based on outstanding academic performance and ser-

vice to the college and community.

(Finnan was a McCormack Scholar in 2016.)

Keynote speakers included education instructor Jill Urban-Bollis, chemistry instructor Promise Yong, co-winners of the 2017 Stephen Charry Award for Teaching Excellence, and honors program students Kayte Bernardoni of Lostant and Sarah Tipton of Dalzell.

Mark Grzybowski, associate vice president for student services, gave the introduction and President Jerry Corcoran gave the welcome.

In her remarks, Bollis quoted a statement by Anthony J. D’Angelo that she and her mom shared, “‘Wherever you go, no matter the weather, always bring your own sunshine.’ When things do not go as planned know at any given moment you have the power to say, this is not how the story is going to end.”

In his address, Yong spoke of losing his mom at age 10 and his struggles to stay in school due to a lack of financial resources in his native

country, the Republic of Cameroon in central Africa.

“Treat life just like research, where failure helps you find opportunity! Jaylen Bledsoe, a 17 year old entrepreneur puts it in better terms: ‘Don’t let your set back cause you to sit back, prepare for your ‘come back.’

“Seize the opportunity when it presents itself, don’t sit on it, act on it. Don’t wait for someone else to make your opportunity a reality.

Do something about your situation, take risks, stop complaining, stop procrastinating; go get it!”

Area students recognized for academic achievement over three consecutive semesters were: Granville — Ann Miller.

Hennepin — Madalyn Loiselle and Kristen Pinn.

Area students recognized for two consecutive semesters were: Granville — Michael Laxner and Courtney Ossola.

Hennepin — Brianna Brooks.

HENRY

Gardeners wanted to start seeds HENRY — Everyone knows gardening is less expensive than buying vegetables. However, if you cannot afford to put food on the table, you cannot afford plants and seeds.

The Marshall-Putnam University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners started a program five years ago to help those in need.

As the program and those in need have grown, so has this Healthy Gardening Project. As a result, the Master Gardeners need help from gardeners who start seeds. Plants are needed to give those less fortunate and would like to garden.

Tomato, green peppers, cabbage or any plants will be used.

The Healthy Gardening Program is a three-phase project. Phase 1 is teaching the fundamentals of gardening. This year the program is being presented in seven locations in Marshall and Putnam counties.

These classes are open to everyone wanting to attend at no charge.

These classes are well attended and thoroughly enjoyed.

Phase 2 is distribution of seeds and plants. With many of those who are in need living in rental homes or apartments, the Master Gardeners also distribute containers with soil and plants for container gardeners. Distribution is through the food pantries and from references from church and com-

munity leaders.

Phase 3 is classes offered to take the food from the garden to the table, which again is free of charge.

Plants and seeds are needed to make this program work. The University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners need help growing plants. Many plants will be distributed. If you can donate plants, contact the Extension office in Henry by calling 309-364-2356 or chairperson Barb Dahlbach by calling 815452-2850, so they can plan the project. They also have some seeds and soil to help you start these seeds if needed.

See Gardeners, Page 16

Winners of IVCC’s Richard Publow Memorial Awards in Writing are Gabriel Braboy (left), Tim Perry, Cheryl Carlson and Jerry Savage. Winners not present are Linda Buland, Antonia Jenifer Kovacs, Josh Mesick, Payton Deady and Monica Joerger.

IVCC announces winners of Richard Publow Memorial Awards in Writing OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College recently named recipients of the Richard Publow Memorial Awards in Writing at the annual student academic awards banquet.

The award is open to students enrolled in Basic Composition II and English Composition I and II during the spring, summer or fall semester.

In Basic Composition II, Cheryl Carlson of Utica was first; Linda Buland of Mendota was second; and

Gerald “Jerry” Savage of LaSalle was third.

In English Composition I, Antonia Jenifer Kovacs of Putnam was first; Josh Mesick of Princeton was second; and Payton Deady of Ottawa was third.

In English Composition II, Gabriel Braboy of Dalzell was first; Monica Joerger of LaMoille was second; and Timothy Perry of Peru was third.

First-place winners received $75; second-place winners received $50; and third-place winners

received $25.

The award honors the memory of former English and philosophy instructor Richard H. Publow for his exemplary life and teaching career by recognizing exceptional student writing.

English instructor Nora Villarreal said, “It was so great to see the students’ pride as they received their awards. I think we’re doing something really special for them. I hope Mr. Publow would be proud.”
