Pulsifer House, built in 1844 by prominent Hennepin businessman Edward Pulsifer, looks mighty pretty in the spring sunshine with beds of blooming flowers situated alongside. The historic Hennepin home, at 327 Old Highway 26, was donated to the Putnam County Historical Society in 1978 by John N. Porter, Palmer A. Porter and Lyman W. Porter as a memorial to their mother, Mary Allen Porter. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Dead birds being accepted for West Nile virus surveillance, testing
Note to readers: The following information was released Friday by the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments. Collecting and testing dead birds is an important component of the West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance program. West Nile virus generally appears in birds and mosquitoes before it is transmitted to humans; therefore, monitoring bird populations helps to predict when and where humans will be at higher risk for West Nile virus infections. Your local health departments are now accepting dead birds for testing of WNV. The public is encouraged to help locate birds that may have died from the disease. Sick birds or birds that have been dead less than 12 hours may be eligible for testing. To qualify for testing, birds must meet these guidelines: Birds must be dead less than 12 hours (fresh) and the carcass must not have obvious signs of trauma (struck by a vehicle, window or animal attack), decay or strong odor. Birds dying from WNV are usually found singly, scattered over a wide area. In contrast, birds that die from other causes (storm mortality, food poisoning, toxicants) often die in groups or clusters. Eligible birds include: Crows, blue jays, house finches, house sparrows, robins; Perching birds such as blackbirds, bluebirds, catbirds, cardinals, goldfinches, finches, swal-
lows, wrens; hawks and owls. Ineligible birds include: Waterfowl, gulls, vultures, turkeys, chickens or eagles. Only adults should handle dead birds. Pick the bird up with gloves, tongs or a shovel. If you do not have gloves, insert your hand into a plastic bag like it is a glove, grasp the bird carefully and invert the bag over the bird. Each bird should be double-bagged in clear plastic bags. The Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments urge the public to take precautions to protect you and your family from mosquito bites. Outbreaks of West Nile virus (WNV) occur each summer in the United States, warmer temperatures mean more mosquitoes. Take these common precautions to minimize mosquito bites this summer: • Avoid being outdoors at dusk/ night and early morning, when winds are light and mosquitoes are active. • When outdoors during these times, wear light-colored clothing and apply insect repellent. • Ensure that doors and windows have tight, properly fitting screens. • Eliminate all sources of standing water that support mosquito breeding (i.e. bird baths, wading pools, and flowerpots, tires, cans, buckets, clogged gutters, abandoned swimming pools, etc.) on your property. This is especially important because
large numbers of mosquitoes that carry WNV can emerge from even one shallow container of stagnant water. • For additional information regarding WNV or to submit a bird for testing, call Bureau, Putnam or Marshall County Health Department at 815-872-5091, or at 309-2468074, to determine if the bird is eligible before you touch or handle it.

PERRY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Exploring clinical care capabilities and offerings
Note to readers: Perry Memorial Hospital issued the following news release Friday. PRINCETON — As Perry Memorial Hospital and the city of Princeton continue the due diligence process with OSF HealthCare to determine whether a transfer of ownership of the hospital will occur, learning and exchanging information about clinical care models is occurring along the way. OSF HealthCare is known for its digital health capabilities where advanced videoconferencing technology is used to connect patients to specialists who may not physically have an office in certain communities. OSF Digital Health has proven beneficial as it allows patients to access the right specialist for the care they need without having to leave their local communities. This quick access also helps ensure an accurate and timely diagnosis and the most appropriate and reliable treatment options. One program OSF HealthCare has deployed across several of its loca-
tions is an eICU called OSF ConstantCare. OSF ConstantCare combines expert medical staff, digital technology and compassionate care to help hospitals provide the highest level of quality care to patients in intensive care units. Vital signs, medications, blood test results, X-rays and other important information are monitored remotely by a specially trained team of critical care doctors and nurses who complement the local care team. Digital health services include neurology, cardiology, pediatrics, and more. Perry Memorial Hospital does not currently have an eICU and adding this capability could result in keeping more patients close to home versus transferring them to another community. Another tool that OSF has made available across several communities is called SilverCloud, which is a secure, anonymous and interactive platform to help community members manage the feelings and causes of depression, anxiety and stress. Virtual visits are another option
employed by OSF for the benefit of patients during the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In fact, OSF managed more than 50,000 COVID encounters during the first 31 days of the crisis. Some of the digital tools OSF HealthCare has recently implemented include: • Clare, the virtual assistant chatbot on osfhealthcare.org, which is equipped to begin screenings and educate the public about COVID-19. • Patients can also call the COVID19 Nurse Hotline at (833) OSF-KNOW (833-673-5669). It is staffed by OSF nurses around the clock. • OSF COVID Companion is a free text messaging tool that the public can use to screen and track COVID symptoms. To sign up, text OSF Track to 67634 and follow the prompts. As health care continues to evolve and strategic partnerships are formed, more resources between organizations can be shared for the benefit of patients and their communities. Smaller facilities will be increasingly able to offer resources typically
only found in larger cities. Additional information and due diligence progress will be shared soon.

PRINCETON
Hennepin man arrested during Princeton pet store fire shoved an officer, police said
‘While his efforts are noble, they were extremely dangerous’ Shaw Media PRINCETON — Princeton police issued more information about a Hennepin man who was arrested May 30 during a downtown fire at a pet store, stating he shoved a police officer twice, then resisted arrest. While conducting crowd control efforts, James F. Boekeloo, 50, of Hennepin refused to listen to the officers’ orders to stay away from the building, police said. Officers were notified by firefight ers within the building, who active ly were fighting the fire, of a man who had entered and was refusing to leave. According to police, an officer approached the front of the building and asked the man to come outside.
He refused to comply with the offi cer’s request, police said. Additional orders were given to the man to exit, and he finally complied. As Boekeloo was exiting the building, he shoved the officer who had given him the order to exit, police said. The officer then advised Boekeloo he was going to place him under arrest. When the officer approached him again, he shoved the officer again in the chest, according to police. Another officer came to assist in the arrest; however, Boekeloo con tinued to resist, police said. Firemen who were outside of the building came to assist, ultimately placing Boekeloo under arrest. No one was injured during the arrest. Officers only used their hands to place Boekeloo on the ground where, after further resis tance, he was handcuffed. He was not struck or tased by the officers, according to police reports. Initially, Boekeloo was charged
with obstructing justice and aggra vated battery to a police officer, which is a felony. On Sunday, a group of people gathered at the courthouse to pro test Boekeloo’s arrest. Boekeloo, who is the business owner’s brother, was attempting to rescue animals from within the burning structure at the time of his arrest. “While his efforts are noble, they were extremely dangerous,” Prince ton police said in a released state ment. “At any time, he could have been injured, causing firefighters to pause their firefighting efforts to rescue him. Fortunately, that did not happen. Boekeloo’s charges will be reduced to misdemeanor battery, obstruct ing police/fire and resisting arrest. Boekeloo is free on bond pending his next court date. “I understand this situation was emotionally charged. I understand Boekeloo’s intentions were to res
cue animals from within the build ing. That does not excuse his actions towards the police officers and fire fighters working to save his sister’s business,” police said. On Sunday, a man threatened to cause problems in Princeton over the arrest of Boekeloo, police said. Specifically, the man stated he would burn down buildings in Princeton and riot. The on-duty ser geant spoke to the man and advised him he was allowed to peacefully protest if he wished. Ultimately, a peaceful protest occurred near the jail and courthouse on Sunday. “We are saddened by the loss of animals’ lives and by the damage caused to one of our valued local businesses,” Princeton police said. “We are also inspired by the com munity efforts displayed that night and the following day to help the businesses impacted by the fire. It is our hope [the owner] is able to rebuild and reopen as soon as pos sible.”

Corcoran said. “In the case of recent demonstrations to protest the disastrous killing of George Floyd, I hope and pray that destruction and looting will end immediately, and people will model our core value of respect by basing relationships on the essential dignity of each individual; valuing diverse cultures, backgrounds and abilities; and understanding that inclusion makes us stronger and able to perform at higher levels.”

The following statement was released by Illinois Sheriffs’ Association on May 28: Today, the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association (ISA) filed suit against Governor J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Corrections for their refusal to accept transfers of parole violators or convicted individuals from jails across Illinois. On March 26, Gov. Pritzker unilaterally suspended all admissions to IDOC facilities in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the leaders at IDOC said they needed time to prepare and install proper intake procedures to reduce the spread of the virus from inmates transferred out of county jails. However, no such preparations have been made or implemented, despite repeated discussions between members of the ISA and IDOC. Rather than working together with the sheriffs to find ways to uphold the law while reducing the spread of COVID-19, IDOC has simply shut its doors. This has left the sheriffs to bear not only the burden of protecting their detainees and county-sentenced inmates from the threat of the virus, but also those who rightfully should be in the custody of IDOC at a time when space and inmate population are critical components to battling the spread of the virus. Jails continue to accept new arrestees and manage the spread of the virus simultaneously. Since March 26, IDOC officials have repeatedly denied requests from sheriff’s offices to transfer individuals to the agency’s custody. Currently there are hundreds of individuals being held in jails across Illinois instead of a state correctional facility simply because Gov. Pritzker and IDOC have decided to wall themselves off rather than work with their fellow law enforcement partners to address the issue. The task of safely housing detainees amid this unprecedented pandemic is challenge enough for Illinois sheriffs without having to also shoulder IDOC’s responsibilities as well.

DEPUE
DePue Boat Races canceled because of COVID-19 BY KEVIN CHLUM Shaw Media
DEPUE — Over the past few months, members of the DePue Men’s Club discussed what to do about the Lake DePue Pro National Championship Boat Races amid the coronavirus pandemic. This week, club and race officials made the decision to cancel this year’s races. “With everything going on with COVID-19, that was a big concern,” said race chairman Paul Bosnich Jr. “Our biggest thing was liability. We didn’t know if we would be able to get a state liquor license or if the health department would let us open our (food) stands. Plus, we were concerned about the safety of people. “We hated to cancel, but we thought it was in the best interest for everybody.” DePue Men’s Club president Steve Solorio called the decision tough but inevitable in a news release issued by the U.S. Title Series. “Many, if not all, of our area festivals have already canceled,” the release said. “For everyone’s health and safety as well as the club’s financial responsibility, it’s the right decision. We expect to come back strong next year.” Bosnich Jr. said canceling the event, which draws racers and fans from around the country, is a blow to the men’s club and the community. “It’s a big impact on DePue,” Bosnich Jr. said. “The school system benefits from the profits. We donate a lot to the classroom, the basketball

The surrounding area with hotels lose out on revenue.” The races, which begin on a Wednesday with testing and run through a Sunday, serve as a homecoming for DePue residents, with events surrounding the races such as a 5K, reunions, beer gardens and live entertainment. “Everybody is devastated by what is happen-
ing,” Bosnich Jr. said. “We didn’t want to cancel, but it’s in everybody’s best interest. There was a big reunion planned with (multiple) classes. There are people who come back in town who haven’t been back in years. There are a lot of people who you don’t see during the year who you do see during the races.

38TH STATE SENATE DISTRICT
MORRIS — State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris) released the following statement in response to the protests across the country and the need for change: “What happened to George Floyd was unconscionable. The death of an unarmed black man by police is becoming too common of a sight, and Americans are rightfully upset and have the right to protest and peacefully assemble to voice their pain and demand change. “In the last several days, we have watched hundreds of thousands of people protesting for positive change to only have their peaceful protests repeatedly hijacked by professional agitators with their own agenda. These agitators are determined to infiltrate peaceful protests and turn them violent — regardless of the cause. “These criminal elements of outside agitators are a persistent enemy to the movement for positive change. They are a powerful enemy to social justice and healing — everything that 99 percent of protesters advocate for so strongly. “The protest hijackers don’t want peace. They thrive on violence and
glom onto every opportunity to hijack peaceful movements to bolster their misguided agenda while endangering the lives of our law enforcement and the livelihoods of our communities. “Many people are currently hurting in our country, but harming others and damaging property will only lead to more pain. In our state, small businesses have been struggling to stay afloat due to the coronavirus pandemic and may never recover. Very few can afford to rebuild at this time. “Violence is always the wrong way to accomplish change. Turning peaceful protests into rampages of crime is a crime not just against property but is a crime against the cause of social justice. “Community and government leaders must listen heavily and then take long-overdue action to deal with systemic and reoccurring racial problems that DO exist in our country. “The history of our nation consists of pivotal moments in time that will shape who we are for generations. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. Our kids are watching and learning.
“This is the time to change, but to truly accomplish meaningful change, we must be willing to openly and honestly engage with each other. ‘No one learns only by staring in the mirror. We all learn, and are sometimes transformed, by encountering differences that challenge our own experience and assumptions.’ These words by university professor Marty Linsky exemplifies the need for our community and leaders to come together to find a better solution.�
