Asphalt or concrete? McCoy Street project likely on hold until 2015 By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — Granville Village President Doug Gimbal will likely get his concrete for the resurfacing of South McCoy Street between Al Cioni Ford and Route 71. However, that work will probably not happen until 2015. Mike Richetta of Chamlin and Associates delivered the news to the village board

at the July 1 meeting. The board has been debating whether to resurface the section of street with asphalt or concrete. Asphalt resurfacing would be half the price according to Richetta but has half the life expectancy of concrete. Gimbal has said he will not sign off on an asphalt street and insists on concrete construction. Board member Lou Verda said the asphalt surface in that section of

McCoy Street was laid 31 years ago. Richetta noted that was a remarkably long life for asphalt. In June, the board had voted to repave the street with asphalt during a meeting where Gimbal was absent. At the following meeting, Gimbal said that decision was “unacceptable.” The decision to go with concrete would change the status of the McCoy Street project from maintenance to a new surface, which would cause more red tape from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

“I won’t argue against concrete because it’s a better product in the end; longer life but it costs more upfront,” Richetta said. “Since this is not general maintenance, this is now construction, and that means IDOT will have to have full review of plans and specs and all that entails. You’ll have to decide if you’re going to keep McCoy open during construction or close it down. Asphalt is a day operation, and you can open it at night. Concrete is not. You can do one lane, and then you’ll have to close it for 14 days.”

Richetta told the board no matter which surface the board chooses, the project would most likely not happen until next year. While IDOT will be involved in new construction, Richetta said asphalt resurfacing would have to be a cooperative project with the railroad. “I personally would be more in favor of concrete if we did it next year,” Verda said. “Hearing what we just heard, that we may not get it done this year anyway; the only reason I was in favor of asphalt was the cost and getting it done

Mark discusses new Granville business By PCR Staff

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

MARK — Business as usual was the word during the bi-monthly meeting of the Mark Village Board. Mayor Frank Niewinski informed board members of contact he received from Shale Energy Services, a business wanting to build a manufacturing facility outside of Granville. “I believe we touched on it at the last meeting about rezoning outside of Granville there. The county’s responsibility,” Niewinski said. “We had gotten invited to the meeting, but I couldn’t go. When the county zoning officer talked to me, I said that I had no problem with it.” At that meeting of the Putnam County Zoning Board, it was rejected, but the issue of rezoning for the potential manufacturing site is going before the Putnam County Board at its July 14 meeting. Shale Energy Services, according to Niewinski, is reaching out to the area villages asking for letters of support for the project. Niewinski was told that if approved, the company would create at least 35 constructionoriented jobs in the creation of the business. There would then be Vol. 146 No. 45 One Section - 12 Pages

25 direct and 80 indirect jobs once Shale is up and running. Shale would have an annual gross trade payroll of $1-2 million and $3.55 million in annual operations, according to a handout Niewinski received from Shale. The possible location of the new plant would be south of Granville off County Road 1300 East. Concerns about how the roads would handle multiple semi trucks and sealed trucks which load railcars were raised. Niewinski was told the company was offered to repave the road with concrete which is a more durable and long lasting material for road construction. Niewinski said, “They would bring good paying jobs to the area. What Shale would like from us is a letter of recommendation that can be sent to the Putnam County Board.” The village board members voted to send a letter to the county board endorsing Shale’s intentions. Under the streets and alleys portion of the meeting, the bids for the upcoming streets and sewer work were taken. Gensini Excavating submitted the bid of $516,318.50 for the St. Paul Street Phase 1. Maintenance paving will be let out for bids during the July 15 meeting.

this year,” board member Randy Borio said. “If it’s looking like it’s going to bump up until next year anyway; let’s do concrete.” Richetta said the village could roll this year’s Motor Fuel Tax into next year to help fund the 2015 project. Although the board is in favor of concrete, the board did not make a definitive decision. That will wait until Richetta is able to survey the street and then submit the plans to the board. Richetta said the board should be able to pass the resolution for the street project in September.

A bags tournament was just one of the many activities during Hennepin’s Fourth of July celebration. Hennepin Mayor Kevin Coleman said an estimated 1,000 people attended the day’s festivities, including cruise-in, concerts by the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra and a reenactment of a Woodford County trial with Abraham Lincoln as defending attorney to celebrate the courthouse’s 175th birthday. The evening fireworks drew spectators from all over the Illinois Valley after most other displays were cancelled. Cars were parked a mile’s walk or more away from the Hennepin pyrotechnics display.

Folksongs coming to Standard By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MAGNOLIA — The Putnam County Library System continues its 75th anniversary commemoration with “This Land is your Land: Woody Guthrie and the Great American Folksong,” the next program in the “Traces & Byways Discovered” series. Recording artist Woody Halker will present the program at 12:30 p.m. July 16 at the Standard Branch Library. Halker describes himself as “folksinger, writer, rocker, scholar, labor songster

and alt-country twanger.” He was drawn to folk music when he was 16. As a fan of music and with a love of history, folk music had a great appeal to him. “I was fortunate I grew up in an era where listening to several genres of music was considered cool,” Halker said. “There was a group of musicians where I grew up in Ashland, Wis. They got me started with Woody Guthrie, and I soon got into blues and folk artists like Lead Belly and Roosevelt Sykes.” While in his late teens and early 20s, Halker was approached by people who

KETTMAN

had seen his folk music concerts and asked him if he could put together a Woody Guthrie tribute. He has been performing the program, with several changes, for more than 35 years. The program draws from Guthrie’s writings and the history of the time, as Halker’s love of history led him to a Ph.D. in history and a 10 year stint as a college history teacher. “The program is a mix of music and commentary,” Halker said. “I play as many songs as I can, plus I also try to put them into perspective with stories of the Depression and the Dust Bowl.”

Woody Halker In addition to recording music by himself and with various other musicians, Halker produces albums. He has recently released the fifth album in a series called “Folksongs of Illinois.” The set of music features songs written in and about Illinois, featuring the original artists including Alison Krauss, Studs Terkel and others.

Putnam County tentative multiplier announced SPRINGFIELD — Putnam County has been issued a tentative property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to Brian Hamer, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. The property assessment equalization factor, often called the multiplier, is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts). If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result. State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third of its

market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland and farm buildings assessed according to standards based on productivity. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the sales price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/ county assessor. If this three-year average level of assessment is onethird of market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less

be held between 20 and 30 days after the tentative factor is published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county. A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments may have increased. The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one. Assessments in Putnam County are at 33.48 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2014 taxes, payable in 2015. Last year’s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000. The tentative factor is subject to change if the County Board of Review takes actions which significantly affect the county assessments or if local officials or others can present data showing that the Department of Revenue’s estimates of the average level of assessments in the county should be adjusted. A public hearing on the tentative multiplier will

Health department releases scores 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 operation. 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 can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks. All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

IDA offers recycling program for agrichemical containers SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers to save their empty agrichemical containers. The department has announced it has arranged to recycle them. Beginning in late July, sites throughout the state will collect the containers and recycle them into small plastic chips that will be used to make shipping pallets, fence posts, drainage tubing, plastic lumber and other useful products. “This program offers farmers a convenient opportunity to dispose of empty pesticide containers and demonstrate their environ-

mental stewardship,” Agriculture Director Bob Flider said. “I would encourage them to gather any containers that they may have been planning to throw in the garbage and take them to the nearest collection site.” Metal and household pesticide containers are not eligible for the recycling program. Collection sites will accept only high-density polyethylene, No. 2 plastic, agrichemical containers that are clean and dry. Participants are responsible for rinsing them and removing all caps, labels, booklets and foil seals. The program is a cooperative venture between the Illi-

nois Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Container Recycling Council, Growmark Inc., Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, Container Services Network, Illinois Farm Bureau and University of Illinois Extension. To obtain a free brochure about the program, call the Illinois Department of Agriculture toll free at 800-6413934. The local collection site and date for the 2014 Pesticide Container Recycling Program is Aug. 8 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Grainco FS in Lostant. Call Steve Puetz at 815-368-3215 for more information.

Walking the road not chosen

Editor’s note: This is the second installment in an ongoing column by Barb Kromphardt. On Monday morning, I was back for my second mammogram in three days, and it was very different from the first time I was there. This time, there were no more exchanging pleasantries with the women at the front desk. The procedure was familiar because I knew the routine this time. COMMENTARY I went into the changing room, placed my shirt and bra in the bag, and then went out to the waiting room. I didn’t have to wait for long. There were no more jokes with the technician this time. And instead of approaching the machine with an attitude of let’s get this over with, I approached it with a sense of dread. The rescan was quickly done. Only the right side this time, as my left breast had been deemed clear for another year. Then I returned to the waiting room. I soon discovered Monday morning mammograms were different from those conducted the rest of the week. It seemed me and all the other ladies in waiting were callbacks. Something wasn’t quite right with our first mammograms, and our return visits weren’t routine. Some women seemed lost in their own thoughts while others were talkers. Some were stoic, and others were damp-eyed. But we were all trying to keep the impending horror at bay. Everyone looked up whenever someone appeared at the door and called out a name. Finally it was my name. Great, I thought. I’ll find out everything is all right, and this nightmare will be over with. But it wasn’t to be. They wanted to take yet another mammogram. Even now, my fingers get cold remembering how I felt. The other women looked at me as I gathered up my things and went back for another scan. I was numb. I returned to the waiting room yet again. The next time my name was called it was almost anti-climactic. I was led into a dimly lit room with breast x-rays glowing on the walls. It almost felt like I was on a spaceship, peering out the portholes at the glowing orbs of distant worlds. I think they sat me down. As the nurse looked on, the doctor explained that one of the orbs was mine, and there was a problem. Some of the sparkles glowing in the x-ray of my right breast were good and fine and normal, but not these, he said, gesturing to one area. These were questionable. They hadn’t appeared on my previous mammogram, so they had to be looked into. Not with a scan this time, but with a biopsy. I honestly didn’t hear too much of what he said. I vaguely wished for my microcassette recorder so I could catch every word. But I caught the most important words. They wanted to be sure I didn’t have cancer. When the nurse led me out of the room, I balked when she wanted to return me to the waiting room. “No, I can’t go back in there with them,” I frantically whispered. She was a saint, and she must have been through this before, so she led me to an empty exam room and left me for a few minutes. The tears poured silently down my face. Dear God, dear God. What was I going to do? Before I entered the office for my second mammogram that morning, I had sent a text message to my sister and a few close friends. I told them what was happening, that it was probably nothing, but if they had a few spare minutes to send up a prayer on my behalf, I’d appreciate it. I had no idea how much I was going to need those friends and their prayers in the months to come.

On the street

NBA stars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are currently considering the possibility of free-agency. Do you think it is OK for them or any other NBA star to do this? “I think they are greedy. They should feel very lucky that they are playing a sport and getting paid high money.” Natasha Riester, Streator

“I think if they are the best players like LeBron James, as he is really good, then yes.” Caleb Burton, Millington, Tenn. “I think that they shouldn’t be greedy. I think that it’s ridiculous to pay that much money to entertain us when we have other things that need money like education and fixing roads and things like that.” Amy Carboni, Granville

“Oh no. They are special athletes, and they have got to make money while they can and when they can make it. I don’t think they are greedy at all. Carmelo has waited a long time to get paid decently. Lebron, well he doesn’t need the money, but hey, you are only in the league for so long.” Rich Cavaletto, Oglesby

“I think while they are able to, they should go get what they can ‘cause it is not a sport you are always going to be able to do; so get what you can now. Maybe save it for later. Never know who is going to have an injury or something later. Do what you got to do.” Tina Huggins, Peoria

In this case ... The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a decision June 30 that will have repercussions for a long time to come. It’s a case that was guaranteed to raise the ire of a large percentage of people, but current trends say this time the majority loses. On June 30, the SCOTUS decided in a 5 to 4 decision forprofit organizations — in this case, Hobby Lobby — can refuse to withhold services — in this case, contraceptives for workers which were included in the Affordable Healthcare Act which was upheld by the same SCOTUS — based on religious beliefs. In other words, if a company doesn’t believe in contraception, it doesn’t have to provide it as part of its healthcare plan. The same people who ruled they don’t have to are the ones who said they had to two years ago. Go figure. This was a difficult case. Seemingly at issue was whether someone else could impose their religious beliefs on someone else, in this case if an employee could force someone to provide contraception, which was against Hobby Lobby’s beliefs. Also at

Ken Schroeder COMMENTARY issue was whether someone else could impose their religious beliefs on someone else, in this case if Hobby Lobby could refuse to provide contraception to its employees as was mandated by a federal law. In this case, I think the SCOTUS is dangerously wrong. Whether or not you believe in contraception, it’s important to realize exactly how much your rights are about to be trampled by this decision. Hobby Lobby, a forprofit entity, objected to providing contraception on the grounds of religious beliefs — actually, its board of directors objected, since legally, a corporation is not a person and therefore does not have religious beliefs. By agreeing with Hobby Lobby, the SCOTUS has basically said the rights of a business are more important than the rights of a person. That is not an explicit

statement, but certainly a true one. Explicitly, the decision means religious beliefs can be used as an excuse to not provide services to a business’ workers. It also opens the door for other problems addressed by religious beliefs. As you might guess, many religions believe any orientation, except heterosexuality, is an abomination. Look for a challenge to providing benefits to a samesex partner to hit the courts before August. Let’s take this to the ultimate step. Every religion has someone that falls under the heretic category. If this decision goes unchallenged, then legally, companies will be able to withhold benefits to employees — due to religious beliefs — to women, same sex couples, Jews, non-Jews, Palestinians, Muslims, non-Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, people who eat pork, people who eat beef, couples who aren’t married, men without at least two wives, men without beards ... In this case, everyone. Ken Schroeder can be reached at kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord. com.

Taylor completes internship for diesel program EAST PEORIA — Blake Taylor of Hennepin completed an eight-week internship at Kelly Sauder Rupiper Equipment, a John Deere dealer in Lacon as part of the Diesel Powered Equipment Technology Program at Illinois Central College. The supervised on-the-job training provides students the opportunity to apply the skills they have acquired in the classroom to the real world. In addition to sharpening their technical skills, students also learn the importance of good work ethic. As part of the internship, the students

perform many of the same tasks as full-time technicians. “Today is the age of the highly trained and educated diesel powered equipment service technician,” Michael Daugherty, instructor in the ICC program said. “Service and repair of electronic controlled diesel engines, powershift transmissions, load-sensing hydraulics and on-board diagnostics require training beyond high school. Given the facts of high dollar value of equipment invested by customers, losses associated with downtime and

record technological advances in equipment design and operation, a serious shortage of qualified technicians remain.” Students in the program complete one-and-a-half years of intensive training in electrical systems, electronics, diesel engines, transmissions, air conditioning and diagnostic testing. Graduates of the program earn an associate in applied science degree and have opportunities to seek careers in the diesel powered equipment technology industry.

Community Players of Streator will perform ‘Les Miserables’ STREATOR — The Community Players of Streator will perform “Les Miserables” on the Engle Lane stage July 12-19. Director Doug Bartelt applied for the production rights over a year ago on the day they became available for amateur theatres. When auditions were conducted in April, performers from as far away as Hoffman Estates and Chicago turned out hoping to land a role in the show. Many were setting foot

in Engle Lane for the first time, drawn to Streator by the lure of being one of the first community theatres in Illinois to present this powerful musical. Newcomers are always welcome at Engle Lane and the Les Miserables cast has many first-timers, including several of the principals. Roger Amm of Ottawa has been cast as Jean Valjean with Bob Kinsella of Spring Valley as Javert. Suzannah Walter of Sheridan portrays Fan-

tine with her son Christian Tapp as the young Garvoche. Raley Mauk of Spring Valley is Eponine and Derek Zinke of LaSalle portrays Marius. Also making her Engle Lane stage debut is Rheagan Goluba as little Cosette. Many Engle Lane veterans are also a part of the cast and crew. Shelbie Wahl Fouts proudly proclaims that she basically grew up at Engle Lane. Shelbie returns to her Streator roots from Roano-

Serving the Tri-County Area for Over 40 Years!

ake, Va., to serve as musical director for the production. Her husband Donovan Fouts has also joined the cast as Bamatbois. Carlye Pillash of Streator who plays Cosette started performing as a youngster in the annual Engle Lane children and youth productions. “Les Miserables” has become a global success on stage and screen, sweeping audiences through an epic tale of broken dreams, passion and redemption, against the backdrop of a nation seething with revo-

lution. Set in 19th century France, it is the story of Jean Valjean, and his quest for redemption after serving 19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread. In anticipation of ticket demand, an additional performance has been added for Saturday evening, July 12. The remainder of the run will be July 13 through July 19. Evening performances begin at 7 p.m., with the July 13 matinee starting at 2 p.m. To order tickets, call the box office at 815-672-3584. Tickets are $20 each. The

box office is located at the Wm. C. Schiffbauer Center for the Performing Arts at Engle Lane Theatre, 1012 Columbus Road, Streator. For more information, visit www.englelane.org.
