Expanding the family farm Putnam County Board decides no further hearings needed for hog farm expansion

By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — After reviewing the plans, confirming with the Farm Bureau there were no issues or complaints, and a discussion with family hog farm owner Darren Brown, the Putnam County Board decided Monday, April 11, no further hearings were needed concerning an expansion of Brown’s farm.

Brown is planning on constructing an additional building adjacent to his existing facility and said he has met the requirements

from the Department of Agriculture.

Brown said, “I was hoping in the future to do an expansion, but what really got me going quicker was that I have six kids. My daughter, who is a senior this year, has told me she wants to attend a community college and come back to work on the farm and with our livestock, and I want to do what I can to keep our kids interested in farming. She’ll help manage it, and she loves our animals. It’s great to see.

The Department of Agriculture is very strict with what

you’re doing and with your plans. We want to add to the value of the community, and we have taken the extra steps to make sure it will give the best impression to those passing our farm.”

Brown has an arrangement with a neighboring farm to dispose of the waste and says his nutrient management plan can be fulfilled on his own property if needed.

Putnam County Board Chairman Duane Calbow said, “You’ve met all the requirements and the State’s Attorney and Farm Bureau

have reviewed the plan and we appreciate you being here to answer our questions. It’s good it’s a family thing, Putnam County is highly agricultural, and we have a hard time keeping our children here. This is a way for a family to stay together and help the community.”

In other business: • Probation officer Patricia Hohulin reported there were 43 people on probation, including 17 juveniles during the month of March, and they completed 140 hours of community service. Hohulin also

asked people to contact her if they had any suggestions for other ways community service could be completed.

• The cemetery mowing bid was awarded to Countryside Lawn Care which also held the contract last year.

• The board appointed new trustees to both the Granville-Hennepin and Standard Fire Protection Districts. Granville-Hennepin’s new trustee is John Holmbeck, and Standard’s new trustee is Fr. Paul Meismer.

Stretching their resources

U of I Extension makes due with minimal resources

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

As with any entity reliant upon state funding, the University of Illinois Extension office is dealing with the budget impasse in Illinois as efficiently as possible and searching out additional monetary resources.

Jill Guynn, county extension director at the U of I Extension Office, said their funding was suspended July 1, 2015, and they are waiting patiently and hoping the budget will be Vol. 186 No. 34 One Section - 16 Pages

restored with haste.

“We are being extremely conservative about what programs we offer, and we’re looking if there is a way to charge fees for certain programs,” Guynn said, noting the Extension office’s budget is typically based on local donations being matched by state funds — yet the state hasn’t held up their end of the agreement for close to a year. “We’re hoping we can get some additional local donations to maintain our programs.”

The U of I Extension promotes youth development programs such as 4-H, as well as agricultural and natural resource programs like Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists. She said the situation has been greatly assisted by dedicated staff and volunteers who have been outstanding in meeting the different needs,

but trying to squeeze two dimes out of three nickels is not fulfilling to anyone.

“Positions have come open, and we have not filled them,” Guynn said, mentioning all her staff members are being very cautious. “We’re keeping a positive outlook, and our area has definitely come together during this time.”

Regardless the optimistic endurance from Guynn and her colleagues, it is all too evident a budget needs to be agreed upon sooner rather than later.

“The programs we and others have are vital to our local people and our local culture,” she said, stating they’re waiting for some direction from the state office and will revisit the situation in the fall to make plans for 2017. “I don’t think anyone can go on like this indefinitely.”

Visitors were able to see more than 50 World War II aircraft, as well as many other styles of airplanes on display and taking to the air throughout the day.

Taking time for survival Area vehicular crashes have resulted in a large amount of fatalities in 2016

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Continuing into the spring season, area drivers are encouraged to take extra care behind the wheel, as crash fatalities have reached monumental peaks in the area compared to the five-year average.

According to a Illinois State Police (ISP) press release, LaSalle County motor vehicle fatalities are up 275 percent, while Bureau County crash fatalities are up an astonishing 733 percent. The Illinois Department of Transportation uses data from the previous half decade for their comparisons.

Lt. Jon Dively, ISP District 17 commander, said the two counties have combined for 14 fatalities resulting from 13 motor vehicle crashes in 2016, compared to only two fatalities during this same time span in 2015.

Dively said in most cases one of the

Fatal Four violations — speeding; driving under the influence; distracted driving; and failure to wear a seat belt — influenced the circumstances of the crash fatalities.

According to Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle, there have been no fatalities so far this year in Putnam County.

“As far as staying safe on Putnam County roadways, I feel speeding and distracted driving, which includes texting, are our two biggest problems. Another issue coming up this year and next will be the new bridge. A lot of construction in this area could add to traffic problems if motorists don’t slow down and pay attention. There is currently a 35 mph zone through there, and we have been trying extra patrols in the area to slow motorists down and to get them to pay attention,” Doyle said.

Central K9 Search and Rescue aims to assist community in times of need

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

SPRING VALLEY — With the senses and abilities that come natural to a canine, one dog can search the same area as 50 men.

When it comes to finding a missing person, those heightened tracking skills become vital in saving lives.

Spring Valley resident Jason Schweickert started dabbling with canine search and rescue in 2014.

He and other interested individuals in the area would take their dogs out to open fields and practice different scent and tracking techniques. Soon enough he had enough interested citizens to form Central K9 Search and Rescue.

“We formed the group on March 31, 2015,” Schweickert said, noting anyone can buy a pre-trained dog for thousands of dollars, but it’s very rewarding to teach the animal from the first moments. “We need dogs with the drive to go do something, and obedience is the first basic guideline

you train them.”

Schweickert said they utilize the incredible sense of smell in a dog through drills — using tennis balls and toys placed under buckets to teach the animals to hunt down a specific scent. Each aspect of training takes weeks to accomplish, and when the dogs do hit on the right spot it’s extremely important to reward them quickly, so they learn what they’re accomplishing is correct.

“Even if the dog does something wrong, there are no negative responses,” Schweickert said, noting the animal must be built up properly if they are to remain calm when dealing with treacherous situations like a rocky cliff or the aftermath of a tornado.

Schweickert and his fellow trainers give commands in German — as the English language being yelled from a frantic crowd could confuse the animals before a search. Each lesson in the training field is lengthened in distance and difficulty, that the dogs

might make connections needed when searching for a child in a congested multi-mile radius.

“We take the toy away, then the dog comes and finds it and barks, and we reward them with toy,” he said, indicating the dog eventually connects the human aspect rather than toy. “The dog continually tracks the focus point of your scent, and moves around to hone in on strength of that scent.”

After much training, a vest is put on the dog, and they associate the vest with going out and searching for a person. Wilderness training is followed by urban training, where dogs learn to pinpoint buildings and even open sliding doors, door levers and baby gates.

“Even when we aren’t training the dogs, they’re always watching us and learning something,” Schweickert said, noting the dogs learn from each other when training in a pack.

“We put them in culverts and narrow tubing so they get used to different foot-

ing on every step. Let’s say a tornado comes through; the dogs can’t be afraid of that disrupted setting.”

Schweickert said the team is looking to certify the dogs in May 2016.

The National Association for Search and Rescue provides the certification standards for behavior and training, and the more assets they can deploy to calamity in the area, they better off everyone is.

“With some of the recent disasters in the area, the time factor for missing persons is just crazy, and people who are trapped need resources as quickly as possible.”

Schweickert said handlers form a bond with their animals, and with each other. The team uses an incident command board — which provides precise details as to the whereabouts of team members — radio communication and on-board camera equipment to document who is where and keep everyone abreast during a search.

“The vests allow dogs

to repel or be lifted over things because everyone works as a team, and we want to be an asset to any emergency services in the area … a tool they may not have at their disposal,” Schweickert said, informing those who might get lost to stay where they are instead of wandering, as it will be easier for the animals and the rescuers to find them.

The Central K9 Search and Rescue team members are always training, but the dogs are just out and about having fun while greatly assisting the community.

“At the beginning we thought it can’t possibly take a year and a half to train them, but the more we realized the importance of all the drills the better we became at coordinating help,” he concluded.

“We’re always learning something, as you have to stay fresh with each new encounter.”

Beware of bogus tickets and merchandise

Crashes From Page 1 Dively said many drivers use logic in traveling cautiously on interstates and U.S. highways due to the higher speed limits, meaning the majority of these unfortunate crashes continue to take place on local and county roads. Impairment and disobeying traffic control signs have proven to be harmful factors in many of these crashes.

“We must stress the potential for death or great bodily harm from a motor vehicle crash could happen at any time. The best way the ISP can help in the reduction of serious injury crashes is by educating the public and taking appropriate enforcement actions when called for,” Dively said.

Dively said ISP troopers are being assigned specific patrols to concentrate on LaSalle and Bureau County roadways. High visibility patrols have been found to reduce fatal crashes, and the troopers will take action to prevent such catastrophes in any situations they deem necessary to do so.

Better Business Bureau warns Blackhawks fans

By Dave Cook

Currently, the office of the Putnam County State’s Attorney has received no complaints regarding fake Blackhawks tickets or merchandise.

The BBB offers the following suggestions to guard against fake tickets and illegal merchandise: • Don’t fall for too-good-to-be-true deals.

• Buy tickets and merchandise from reputable brokers or retailers.

• Look for the official hologram and license from the league. Holograms are very difficult to fake and are an excellent indication of a licensed product.

• Only buy from licensed sites if purchas-

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

CHICAGO — Blackhawks fans are understandably excited as the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs have begun and the team within reach of back-to-back championships. With enthusiasm high, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has cautioned fans to beware of deals seeming too good to be true.

Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois, said “Explosive fan enthusiasm is exactly what scammers are looking for. That’s because passion for the team often gets in the way of being a smart customer.”

ing online. Lookout for broken English in the descriptions. This could indicate an overseas company; they are among the principal culprits in producing counterfeit goods.

• Check the BBB website of www.ask.bbb.org for reports on an individual business.

• Use a credit card if possible, so you can appeal to the card company if a dispute occurs.

• Report scams to the BBB Scam Tracker at www.bbb.org/scamtracker/Chicago to warn others.

Bernas said “Excitement should come from the Blackhawks’ winning performance, not disappointment by losing money with fake tickets or poor merchandise.

Munger: ‘We are all in this together ...’

Comptroller puts elected leader pay on par with other obligations CHICAGO — Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger on Sunday, April 17, announced compensation for Illinois’ General Assembly members and Constitutional Officers — herself included — will be treated the same as all other government payments and delayed due to the state’s $7.8 billion bill backlog.

Illinois is in its 10th month of operation without a budget in place, leaving the state to pay bills under a patchwork of court orders, consent decrees and statutory authorizations. As a result, the state is expected to dig $6.2 billion deeper in the hole this year, worsening its fiscal condition, exacerbating cash flow challenges and lengthening payment delays.

With families, social service organizations,

schools and businesses waiting months on end for promised payments from the state, Munger said it is appropriate for elected leaders to face delays as well.

“Our social service network is being dismantled, mass layoffs are occurring and small businesses across Illinois are awaiting payments for services they’ve already provided,” Munger said. “As our cash crunch grows in the coming months, it is only appropriate that the unfair prioritization of payments to elected leaders ends. We are all in this together; we all will wait in line.”

Salaries for the state’s six Constitutional Officers and 177 General Assembly members total approximately $1.3 million a month, or $15.6 million annually. The elected leaders are customarily paid on the last day of the

month. Munger noted her office will still process the vouchers monthly, but the warrants will then wait in a queue with other payments before being released when cash is available.

State payments are currently delayed a minimum of two months, unless they are expedited due to severe hardship. That wait time is expected to grow in lower revenue months in the summer and fall.

“It is the right thing to do,” Munger said.

“And if this action helps bring all sides together to pass a balanced budget and end this unnecessary and devastating hardship to our state, that is an added benefit.

“Illinois needs a balanced budget. It is well past time that we get it done,” Mungor said.

Company gets loan for new manufacturing

EDCNCI holds first meeting LASALLE — The Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDCNCI) had its first official board meeting representing more than 150,000 people and 2,200 square miles of the tri-county region. “The EDCNCI has begun to get the ball rolling by meeting, voting on officers and forming committees to start the work of building an active corporation,� said Jim Riley, Hometown National Bank.

The newly-founded board consists of six public and seven private investors. The executive officers are: President Jim Riley, Hometown National Bank; vice president Don Finley, mayor of Oglesby; secretary Debb Ladgenski, economic development director of Spring Valley; and treasurer Joni Hunt, executive director of Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development. Remaining board members are: Mayor Robert Eshbach of Ottawa; village president Kevin Coleman of Hennepin; Jill Bernal, LaSalle County Board; Keith Cain, manager of Princeton Redi-Mix Inc.; Dan Aussem, executive director of Illinois Valley Contractors Association; Steve Nelson, secretary of Tri Con Materials; Scott Stavrakas, vice president sales and marketing at the

News-Tribune; Steve Aubry, vice president/dealer principal of CIT Trucks LLC; and Brad Bruins, Illinois Management senior estimator/project manager at Advanced Asphalt Co. The purpose of the new organization is to promote the assets of the area to industrial and commercial site selectors and real estate developers. Most efforts will focus on marketing the region for long-term economic growth.

The public/private collaboration has created a spirit of cooperation and a philosophy of working together for the greater good of the people of the tri-county region.

The first mission is to identify and hire a chief executive officer, experienced with operating a successful economic development cooperation. The board feels strongly that an economic development professional with established relationships in the field including site selectors and developers is a requirement for the job. “A director with the skill set of running a proven, successful EDC will support the success of this newly-formed endeavor,� said Keith Cain, Bureau County Board member.

A nationwide search and recruitment will begin shortly.

Illinois State Police troopers handle traffic incidents during March

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

LASALLE — The citizens of the Tri-County area kept Illinois State Police (ISP) troopers busy in March.

According to a press release from ISP Trooper Jason Wilson, ISP District 17 troopers handled 1,739 calls for service and assistance during March 2016, 158 of which were to help motorists whose vehicles were disabled on

area highways.

The troopers apprehended six persons who were wanted on outstanding warrants, and aimed to curb the criminal activity in the area by making 19 arrests for criminal activity. Eleven individuals were arrested for driving under the influence, while three apprehensions for other alcohol-related offenses were recorded.

Concerning traffic enforcement activities, troopers issued a total of 413 traffic citations — 217 of

which were drivers arrested for speeding and 45 cited for seat belt violations — along with 797 written warnings for motorists.

Troopers and weight inspectors issued seven citations for overweight loads and four written warnings for overweight violations.

They also handled 22 traffic crashes within the Tri-County area of LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam. There was one fatal crash handled by District 17 troopers.

BBB: Don’t let scammers clean you out as you clean up for spring ROCKFORD — Now that spring has arrived homeowners throughout Chicago and Northern Illinois are focusing on home and yard improvement projects. The Better Business Bureau is warning this time of the year is popular with crooks and con artists looking to cleanup by taking advantage of those same homeowners.

In the past year, the BBB has received 234 complaints regarding air conditioning and heating contractors, 231 complaints against roofing contractors, and 139 complaints about work performed by landscape contractors.

“We are certain to receive a steady stream of home improvement complaints

each year, but the number of consumers who become victims can be reduced if they take care in finding the right business to perform the work they want done,” says Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau.

“The BBB has Customer Reviews available online that can help guide consumers in their search for trustworthy businesses to help with spring home and garden projects,” stated Horton.

Additionally, he notes, “We also have available to consumers our online Request a Quote program where they can ask to be contacted by Accredited Businesses. This makes the

task of finding a reputable contractor easier and safer.”

Tips to follow that can help prevent getting rippedoff this spring: • Hire a professional.

Research companies for free at ask.bbb.org or use the BBB’s Online Directory to find BBB Accredited Businesses. Ask for references.

• Be wary of door-to-door solicitations. Each year, countless homeowners have companies knock on their door and offer to provide their services at a discount.

In too many cases, the work performed is shoddy or only partially completed — and the company fails to return, as promised.

• Get everything in writing. A contract should clear-

ly state the services you will receive, as well as when the job is expected to be completed, payment terms and conditions, contact information for the company — phone number and address, as well as any refund or cancellation policy.

• Verify insurance cover-

age. Confirm the company has insurance that covers worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability in case of accidents.

Horton cautions, “Remember, you’re the customer; it’s your home. Don’t feel pressured to choose a

That old farmhouse I’m one of those people who firmly believes our roots influence who we are and who we will ultimately become. Those roots, for me, run deep, and I cherish every little moment from the past that has decided to take up residency in my memory for safe-keeping. Like a small Terri child grabbing for all the toys Simon in the box, I find COMMENTARY myself desperately attempting to hold on to each memory like they are golden grains of sand — priceless tidbits from yesteryear that either soothe my soul or cause me to remember a place in time I cherish more than most will ever know.

There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish I could go back to the old farmhouse north of Princeton, but several years ago, a vandal and a match made that impossible. While the people who own the property now have been more than kind and allowed me to tromp around the place I used to play, explore and live, the absence of the house haunts me ...

They say you can’t go back, and even if you do, it’s never the same as when you left in the first place. I know that. I also know the house, the barn, the yard and all the other tangible items from my childhood aren’t what made the memories — rather it was the people amidst those buildings and walls that created them. Nevertheless, I’d give a lot to see, feel and touch all the places on that farm which carved deep and memorable crevices in my heart and soul.

You see, I yearn to walk up those wooden steps Grandpa made that always needed a coat of paint. Actually what I’d love to do is sit down on those steps on that side porch and inhale the sweet scent of the lilacs that surrounded the west side of the farmhouse. I’m not sure how long I’d sit there, but I guarantee time would stop as the aromatic scent permeated my soul. I wouldn’t even mind a splinter or two, since many of those little slivers seemed to find a way to get under my skin when I was a child.

Eventually, I’d pull open the screen door that slammed behind me too many times, and I’d scan that old screen door for the hook and eye latch that we locked at night — the only safety feature on the door that separated us from the rest of the world. That door led straight into the dining room, and I know I’d be taken back by the swimming pool blue color on the walls that my grandmother decided to paint the walls one day, much to the dismay of my conservative grandfather. Grandma was always a wild soul — a trait I still admire her for to this day.

There would be plenty to see and touch in the house — the old plaster walls, the enamel-topped table and the old cook stove in the kitchen, the big picture window in the living room, where Grandma displayed some figurines on the windowsill. Eventually, I’d open the door that led us upstairs, and no doubt, I’d see Grandpa’s shoes still sitting on those old wooden steps, which would creak as I headed to my old bedroom, where homework was accomplished and dreams were made. I’d pass Grandma and Grandpa’s room, where the sweat from a farmer and the Avon perfume from his wife would no doubt still be lingering in the air.

The basement — or the cellar as we called it back then — would be dusty and filled with Mason jars of something my grandmother had canned, and the fire-breathing monster — aka the coal furnace — would no longer be a threat.

The back porch where our watch dog, Freckles the Dalmatian, lived would invite me to sit a spell, as would the front porch — shaded by the giant maple trees — ironically, the same place where we buried Freckles and cats and goldfish and canaries and hamsters.

I could go on and on — wishing I could step back into my childhood home that helped to build me, while revisiting all those memories from yesteryear. Or maybe ... I just did.

I’ll fold The other day, I was watching a scintillating episode of “Swamp People.” For those of you who are unfamiliar with the premise of this fine program, it’s one of those “reality” television shows that follows a bunch of alligator hunters down in the swamps of Louisiana.

I don’t know why it interests me so much. It’s basically a bunch of hairy, smelly-looking men and women that go out in little flat-bottomed boats, talking in some sort of subtitled Cajun gibberish, operating firearms that tend to not work very well.

It always ends up with someone shouting “Shoot ‘im! Shoot ‘im!,” and then they haul a dead alligator into the boat. It’s more like I “monitor” the show instead of “watch” the show because I’m just waiting for the one time when the alligator wins.

Well, the other day I was “monitoring” a marathon of the program for a couple of intense hours. It was at a critical juncture when my wife decided to interrupt my viewing pleasure. How did she do this you are probably asking yourselves right about now? Throughout the past 25 years of wedded bliss, she has created several different ways to inhibit my well-intentioned television-watching plans. Among these have been, “Honey, the washing machine is off-balance again.” or, “Get in here! The toilet is doing weird things!” or possibly my personal favorite, “ Hey! I don’t think the yard’s going to mow itself!!”

Remarkably, she is under the foolish notion that I have the power, ability or desire to deal with any of these situations.

But the other day, she went back to one of her tested, tried and true ways of taking me away from my beloved television. She plopped a load of clothes on the floor right in front my reclined visage. They had just come out of the dryer, and evidently, my wife thought I apparently had enough free time that I could

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY fold the laundry.

As I mentioned, she has used this ploy many, many times to ruin my television-viewing pleasure throughout the past quarter-century. The last episode of “Seinfeld” was practically ruined by a load of brightly-colored shirts and blouses, and many of the Chicago Bulls six championships were obscured by white sweat socks that were in dire need of being grouped together.

Being the sensitive guy that I am, I can usually tell how badly she wants the garments folded by the way in which she drops the pile of laundry.

The height at which she drops the clothes basket is a dead giveaway. If she raises the basket above her head before she releases it means she would like them folded in the very near future. Proximity is also a clue.

If my body is in any way covered by the clean, warm garments, I’m fairly sure that folding is in my immediate future. The other day, when she wrecked “Swamp People,” she decided to sit down on the couch and help fold. Guilt is another one of her devilish, crafty tricks.

Now even though I’m a soft-hearted soul that will gladly do my part when I’m absolutely forced to, there are still some things I will try to get out of when folding clothes. Socks. Folding socks just seems like a waste of time that could be better spent rooting for alligators. I will attempt to stay away from any kind of underwear, especially my own. I know where it’s been and what it’s been through. My daughter has these weird shirts that have this strange inner- and outer-layer thing going on that I always manage to get tangled up. I don’t like to fold anything that has a collar.

Those things should go on a hanger anyway. Pants are easy so I usually like to leave those for my wife and daughter. That’s the kind of guy I am.

That pretty much leaves me with the towels. I would venture to guess that I am possibly one of the best towel-folders east of the Mississippi.

I have always prided myself on my innate ability to fold a towel like no other. I’ve listed this talent on job résumés.

So there we sat in front of the soft glow of televised alligator-death, my wife and I — me with the towels, her with everything else, preparing to fold laundry like there was no tomorrow. As I picked up the royal-blue terry cloth fabric and started in on the first towel, she looked at me from the couch and in a slightly snotty voice told me, “You’re doing it wrong.”

After I got my blood pressure to go back down, I calmly and politely asked the know-it-all evil woman, “Why whatever do you mean, dear?”

She replied, “They don’t fit in the linen closet the way you do it.” Miss Smarty-Pants then proceeded to show me how she folds towels so that they “fit” properly.

I didn’t want to make fun of her crazy, possibly drug-addled ways, but I did point out several issues regarding molecular physics that say the towel is the same size no matter which way you fold the darn thing. It takes up the same amount of space no matter what. Sometimes you just have to push it in the closet a little harder.

However, being the benevolent chap that I am, in order to make the cantankerous old lady happy, I folded the towels the way she wanted me to even though I think the whole world can see that my way is better in every conceivable fashion.

If you don’t agree with me, I’ll show you my résumé.

Stasell’s hot bat lead Panthers to three wins

By Ryan Friel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The Putnam County baseball team defeated Annawan-Wethersfield in a five-inning game 11-1 to improve to 14-3 on the season on Friday, April 15 in Granville. Senior Neal Stasell, went 4-4 during the game, including two home runs to left field.

“The kid’s hot, hopefully they keep pitching to him and hopefully he stays hot,” said PC head coach Chris Newsome. “He helps us out a lot.”

Stasell finished the week off 14-16 with seven singles, four doubles, one triple, two home runs, and nine runs batted in as PC heads into a tough conference week with Marquette coming up this week. The Panthers are currently undefeated in conference play at 6-0.

“I don’t think it’s any secret that we have a big week coming up with Marquette. They’re a very good ball club, very good coach,” said Newsome. “I think we have very high expectations heading into Tuesday’s home matchup against Marquette.”

Sophomore Caleb Dzierzynski went 3-3 during Friday’s matchup and is currently 4-1 on the mound.

“Probably Dzierzynski on the mound, and he’s been 4-1 so hopefully he picks up that fifth,” said Newsome about Thursday’s away matchup at Marquette. “We’d like to at least cut a share of it.”

Alec Veverka took the win for the Panthers, allowing two hits over 4.1 innings. He struck out four batters and

walked three. Matt Donelson pitched the last two-thirds of an inning.

Putnam County 10, Roanoke-Benson 5

Neal Stasell went 4-4 at the plate to leads the Panthers to a 10-5 win over Roanoke-Benson on the road Thursday, April 14. He also got the win on the mound, pitching 3.1 innings, walking two and allowing one hit. He struck out six batters. Matt Magana pitched 3.2 innings in relief, allowing two walks and striking out five. The Panthers rapped out 14 hits on the night with Stasell collecting a triple, a double and two singles. Cam Colby smacked a double while a number of Panthers collected 10 singles.

Putnam County 16, Roanoke-Benson 4

Stasell went 5-5 at the plate, leading the Panthers to a 16-4 win at home against Roanoke-Benson Tuesday, April 12. He had three doubles and two singles to lead the 12-hit attack by Putnam County. Connor Bean and Matt Donelson had two hits each. Caleb Dzierzynski pitched six innings for the win, allowing five hits, two walks and striking out nine.

IVC 10, Putnam County 0

The Panthers only had three hits in a 10-0 loss in six innings to IVC on Monday, April 11. Kaleb Wright took the loss, allowing three hits, walking two batters in twothirds of a inning. Stasell, Alec Veverka and Jared WilPCR photo/Ryan Friel liams had the hits for the Panthers.

Peggy Kramer donates $5,000 annually for nursing scholarships OGLESBY — Retired registered nurse Peggy J. Kramer of rural Ottawa will support Illinois Valley Community College nursing students through $5,000 in annual scholarships.

“It is a noble and challenging profession, and I want to help those who are determined to achieve a career in nursing,” said Kramer, adding, “And I have a very good feeling about IVCC.” The award, named in memory of Kramer’s late husband, Dr. Robert Kramer, will provide five, $1,000 scholarships to firstand second-year students each fall and is part of the IVCC Foundation’s Scholarship Campaign, bringing it within $25,000 of its $500,000 goal.

“We were fortunate to be introduced to Peg by (former foundation director and current trustee) Jane Goetz,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “Like Jane, Peg is a selfless individual concerned only with doing everything she can to make this a better community to live in.”

Kramer’s career is a model for future nurses to aspire to. Following high school, she went to work at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet as a practicing nurse. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing from College of St. Francis and later a master’s degree in nursing administration from Aurora University.

Kramer was promoted to Silver Cross Director of Emergency Nursing and Executive Director of Ambulatory Care – where she oversaw “everything outpatient.” As such, she supervised numerous departments including mental health, emergency medical services, the ER, chemical dependency, outpatient surgery, house-keeping, safety and even wrote the hospital’s disaster response plans.

Kramer moved to Ottawa with her husband in 1998 and joined the Ottawa Hospital Auxiliary and was a charter member of the board that started and assisted at The Health Center of Eastern LaSalle County until it closed in 2014.

Her husband died April 30, 2005, at age 67. A graduate of Northwestern University’s College of Medicine and a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy, he had private practice offices in Joliet, Ottawa, Kankakee, Morris, Streator, Princeton, Mendota and Peru. He was the founder and CEO of Kramer Enterprises, Cardinal Sleep Centers of America and AmSurg of Joliet.

“His legacy is one of compassion, generosity and service,” said Peg Kramer. “This scholarship is an appropriate way to honor all the good works he performed so gracefully.”

Gateway Services awarded $11,000 grant for pollinator garden PRINCETON — The Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation has awarded Gateway Services, Inc. a grant which will be used to install a pollinator habitat at the main Gateway Services location at 406 S. Gosse Blvd. in Princeton.

Gateway Services was one of nine grants awarded to six, non-profits and three school systems across the state of Illinois.

This grant will cover 90 percent

of the costs and approximately 1,000 square feet of pollinator habitat in the front lawn. The garden will be visible from Routes 6/34 exposing thousands of people every day to the beauty and educational value of this project.

“This project will create opportunities to educate students and the general public in the need to provide food and shelter for butterflies and bees that are so vital to our agricultural heritage,”

said Jeff Dean, president/CEO of Gateway Services.

By working with elementary and secondary schools throughout Princeton and Bureau County, Gateway Services will teach programs about the importance of native pollinators, during the 2016-17 school year. In early September, a community planting day will be held.

Gateway Services, Inc., located in Princeton is a non-profit orga-

nization which provides services to individuals with disabilities in Bureau, Marshall, and Putnam counties. The organization has 10 different programs providing an estimated 400,000 hours of service every year. For more information, visit www.gateway-services.org.

Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation is a private foundation that makes grants to improve energy efficiency,

advance the development and use of renewable energy resources, and protect natural areas and wildlife habitat. Through its Natural Areas Land Acquisition Program, the Foundation has helped to protect over 26,000 acres of wildlife habitat across Illinois.

The K-12 Pollinator Schools program is a new pilot being tested by the foundation this year. For more information, visit www.illinoiscleanenergy.org.

Source Water Information Source Water Name

Type of Water

WELL 3 (01483)

GW

WELL 4 (01484)

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 pickup 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.

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.

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 815-224-1650

by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________.

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.

Source of Water: GRANVILLE Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1992 by the Illinois EPA, several potential sources are located within 1,000 feet of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Granville Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination.

This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Granville Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

2015 Regulated Contaminants Detected

Water Quality Test Results

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL:

The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG:

The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL:

The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Definitions:

The following tables contain scientific terms and measures, some of which may require explanation.
