State provides some support to schools
Putnam County School District finally receives $448,298.99 BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — It was a short meeting, but it mostly contained good news, at least for a school district in Illinois. While the Putnam County School District is still owed $609,721.23 in mandated funding from the state, they have received a payment of $448,298.99. This raises the total Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax payments for the

year to approximately $3.1 million. Superintendent Carl Carlson said he wasn’t sure if any additional payments would be received because the court has ruled Medicaid payments take a precedent over other state obligations, which may put future categorical payments in jeopardy. Carlson is also still a member of a group of 419 Illinois superintendents who

The Big House takes the big fall
Landmark being cleared to make way for parking BY GOLDIE RAPP news@putnamcountyrecord.com SPRING VALLEY — Demolition crews spent Wednesday tearing down the notable white landmark known as The Big House in downtown Spring Valley. The current owner of the property, Spring Valley City Bank, has intentions of using the location for over-flow parking. Back in February, Bank President Matthew Merboth first announced plans to demolish the local historic structure. Before the bank purchased the property, it had been gifted by the Bonucci family last year to Spring Valley Apostolic Tabernacle, which had plans to tear down the structure and build a new church. However, Spring Valley Council denied the special use permit needed for the project. Council members had concerns about a church being compatible with neighboring residential homes and commercial properties. The Big House operated as a renown Italian restaurant for years up until Nov. 1, 2015. It was known for its Monday night specials, which drew people from all over the area and beyond. Ron Thone and his family had ran the business since 1979. The reason for closing was due to Thone’s retirement and the Bonucci family, who owned the property, had no interest in reigniting the restaurant. The Bonuccis had ties to The Big House dating back to the early 1900s. Steve Bonucci of Princeton can tell stories he heard growing up about his great-grandparents running the place during

Workers demolish a Spring Valley landmark last week — The Big House, a popular eating establishment in the Illinois Valley for many years. prohibition era. “Supposedly, guys in the business of selling booze illegally were frequent guests of the place,” he said. “It’s was always a busy, busy place up until 1980. If there was anything going on in the town of Spring Valley, you could find out more about it there at the bar of the Big House.” The restaurant was the place the Bonuccis met for big family get-togethers. “It was a warm, friendly, good place to go. The bonus was always after supper, you could run over across the parking lot and get an ice cream cone for 10 cents,” Bonucci said. “I have a ton of great memories there as a kid.” The business was passed on to Bonucci’s grandparents and while his dad never had much interest in running the restaurant business himself, the family continued to own the property and his grand-
mother convinced Thone, who was a busboy in the restaurant, to take over management. Over the years, notables like boxer Jack Dempsey,
Sen. Everett Dirksen and violinist David Rubinoff enjoyed the home-style ambience and cooking of The Big House. Before The Big House
was a bar and renown Italian restaurant, it was home to Sam Dalzell, who was manager of Spring Valley Coal Co. He built the home in 1890.

ICBA, North Central Bank celebrate National Homeownership Month In recognition of National Homeownership Month, North Central Bank, Hennepin, and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are reminding current and prospective homeowners about community bank resources that make home financing easier and more affordable. “For most people, buying a home is an investment in their future-an opportunity to establish roots, start a family, and build financial security,” said ICBA Chairman Scott Heitkamp, president and CEO of ValueBank Texas in Corpus Christi, Texas. “Your local community
banker, as a trusted financial advisor, can help you navigate the home-buying process and select the financing option that works best for you and your financial future.” ICBA reminds consumers that community banks can be a great resource to help determine: 1. How much you can borrow and determine the appropriate loan products to suit your financial needs and budget considerations. Your community banker will review the mortgage process along with available mortgage programs and other loan features, including how long it will take to com-
plete the process, so there aren’t any surprises. 2. How current mortgage rates, the loan amount, property taxes and insurance premiums translate into monthly mortgage payments. This will help you shop for a home that fits your budget and increase your prospects for success as an informed buyer. 3. Your rights and obligations under your mortgage contract. Today’s consumers have more avenues than ever to homeownership. Your community banker can help you read through and understand the fine print before signing on the dot-
ted line. 4. Suitable government-sponsored programs. In addition to federal homeownership and home-buying assistance programs, there are a number of programs sponsored by your state, local government or other organizations that community banks can recommend to make homeownership more affordable. 5. Additional resources to help you create a budget and set financial targets. Many community banks offer home-buyer seminars and other helpful resources. Free online educational tools can also be found at www.hud.gov.
“Homeownership is the cornerstone of our nation’s economy,” said Haley Guisti, assistant vice president at the Hennepin-based bank. “As a relationship lender, North Central Bank has a vested interest in our customers’ financial well-being and the Illinois Valley’s economic vitality. Creating a path to homeownership for local residents is an important step in establishing deep community ties, which will support future generations.” To find a community bank near you, visit www.banklocally.org. For more information on community banks and the services they offer, visit www.icba.org.

New Small Business Development Center welcomes new director Lambert credited with co-founding Startup Peoria BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com PRINCETON — Although the local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) had been located at IVCC for 30 years, it closed at the end of 2016 because of funding problems related to the state’s budget troubles. However, the Starved Rock
Country Alliance (SRCA) has announced they have both a new plan and a new director for a revitalized SBDC . The SRCA, a non-profit community development group, secured funding through an Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity grant and from contributions from the five communities where the new SBDC’s decentralized offices will be located. Using a creative approach, the new Illinois

SBDC will maintain an active presence throughout Bureau, LaSalle and Livingston counties by having regular office hours in Princeton, Peru, Pontiac, Streator and Ottawa. The new SBDC will be led by its new executive director, Amy Lambert. Lambert began work at the SBDC on June 26. She’ll coordinate personal counseling with those interested in starting new business endeavors, as well as helping existing small businesses with their concerns.
According to a press release, Lambert was central to the development of the entrepreneurial environment in the Peoria area. She co-founded Startup Peoria, now known as StartupGP, and assisted new business owners by establishing a variety of programs to help them with funding, networking and training.

She has more than 20 years of experience in leadership development, marketing, training, design and business knowledge. “I’m honored and elated to be driving a new outreach of assistance to this important region of Illinois. A strong SBDC is crucial to the develop-
ment and growth of business. I know how lucky we were [in Peoria] with the services and expertise our start-ups could access through the SBDC hosted at Bradley University. I also know, as an entrepreneur, how difficult it can be when you can’t access their service due to time or physical limitations. I’m excited about leading the team to deliver this vision and assistance.” Lambert said in the press release.

Peru Mall to lose another anchor in Sears BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com PERU — The prospects of Sears have seemingly fallen from the heights of the famous Sears Tower and the impact of that plummet will soon be felt in the Peru Mall. Sears recently announced the
impending closure of 43 more retail locations on top of the 265 stores they’ve previously announced. The list encompasses eight Sears stores, including the anchor store in the Peru Mall, the only Illinois closure, and 35 Kmarts. Sears was founded in 1893 as a mail order company, and through
their catalogs anything a home could need — including the home itself, could be easily purchased. They began opening retail locations in 1925 and were the largest retailer in the nation until eclipsed by Walmart in 1989.
See SEARS, Page 5
Across the state, several regions have seen their college and university-based SBDC centers closed. The SRCA developed this newly-designed model because they saw the benefits it could provide to area entrepreneurs. The Illinois SBDC at the Starved Rock Country Alliance, which is also known as the Alliance SBDC, has been created as part of a statewide network with support from city and county governments, local banks and community businesses, as well as the federal Small Business Administration and Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

While a significant savings, a portion of the money still owed by the state includes more than $267,000 for transportation costs.

Two arrested, face heroin charges PERU — Two Peru residents were taken into custody July 18 after police raided their apartment, finding suspected raw heroin and large amounts of currency. Mark A. Chaparro, 41, of Peru was charged with the Class X felony of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (heroin) with the intent to deliver after being taken into custody at 3:46 p.m. July 18. Shalayna M. Worley, 26, of Peru was charged with obstruction of identification. The Peru Police Department Special Investigation Unit (SIU) after receiving reports of possible drug activity in and around an apartment in the 1700 block of Walnut Street initiated a several months narcotics investigation. With the help from the LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s office, a search warrant was obtained for the apartment, which was executed July 18 by Peru Police officers comprised of SIU detec-
tives, and members of the Peru Police Department Emergency Response Team (PERT). During the course of the search, detectives seized suspected raw heroin and a large amount of currency. This arrest made by the Peru SIU is yet another arrest as part of the Peru Police Departments ongoing commitment to the community in targeting heroin distribution in the area, said Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei. “The Peru Police Department with the support from the mayor and city council has committed many resources to fighting the drug problem facing our area,” said Bernabei. “With these resources, we will continue our enforcement efforts and it is my genuine belief that these arrests will continue until such time that we eliminate heroin distribution the community. The city of Peru will simply not tolerate the distribution of heroin and other dangerous drugs in our community.”

Considerations by Nedda S
ince I focus on the older generation, some things come to mind about our habits! I know! Who wants to talk about “that?” However, we do pick up some patterns that can get us stuck on one theme. One is living and talking about the past. Of course, the past is a huge part of our lives, and the present is sometimes boring or strange to us, and of course, darn frightening. We see folks, communities and our governments repeating the same mistakes, and we are sometimes really alarmed — since we saw that same thing before, and it really didn’t work well or it had downright tragic consequences.
Our perspective comes into play, and we want to shout to the rooftops: “No! Stop! That won’t work!” Now, of course, people think they are acting in everyone’s best interest or maybe not. It doesn’t matter. The stage is set, and we have to live with it or through it. We discover that those who do not study history or seek advice or won’t do either, can really set a bad play up on the stage of history. We know all this because we have seen it play out ourselves. Maybe that is why we think and talk and live in the past. It is so scary now. Don’t despair. There are
COMMENTARY Nedda Simon plenty of wise folks out there who are studying history, experimenting with new formulas, exploring new horizons, listening to others who have tried and failed. Great books are being written; wise people are becoming adults with open minds and great ideas. We need to focus on all the new; listen to the young; and hear what they are doing in the work place. We need to keep
learning, exploring ourselves, and weeding out the boring and wrong notions we have. Ask young people (that would be anybody younger than us!) what they think, dream and wish for our future. We all may get wiser. The past has its place of course. Hopefully it teaches us, and we must study the lessons. However, generally, most people don’t care about the past. They need to deal with the present and make it better and set some plans for the future that makes things right for everybody. We can help them. We won’t tell them “it” won’t work but urge a different solution and help them along with the idea.
PERSPECTIVE We can hope and pray for them and give them encouragement and say, often, “Good job”. I’m going to try to take my own advice and not bore others with the same story just because I thought it was great the first time 25 years ago. Oh, by the way. To all the parents with kids out of school now, just hold on for a few weeks, and school will start again. Peace and quiet will reign again, and the teachers get to bear up! Above all, we can remember to be kind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shame in Illinois To the Editor, Surely, the representatives of our great state of Illinois are congratulating themselves for finally doing their job! Haven’t you heard the biggest news to come out of Springfield in years? All the news media is trumpeting this glorious achievement. Yes! That’s right. The state of Illinois — you know, the state with the nation’s most miserable credit — has a BUDGET! Now I don’t mean to be cynical. After all, folks will finally get paid what they have coming after waiting far too long. But shame on the legislators for not paying our bills like any other respectable human being. The hypocrites. They have been more than happy to pay themselves for accomplishing nothing with money we don’t have — as other hard-working folks wait and wait for payment honestly earned. Not that having a passed a budget is all that wonderful in the first place. A piece of paper with figures and promises and projections. And taking more in tax revenue to make it appear balanced. (Just wish they could show a modicum of wise stewardship with the tax dollars they already collect). Unfortunately, the tax paying citizen will suffer in the end. Again. He is compelled to support a broken state government that refuses to alter course after years of utter failure. None of the underlying structural problems are being resolved. More kick-the-can down the road mentality. You know — pass the bill to our kids. And drive more jobs out of state as the corporations are soaked and gladly exit our company. It takes courage to make the hard decisions that need to be made. Pensions, legal reform, workplace rules, term limits, and redistricting just to name a few. Sadly, courage is in short supply. Much easier to go along with party leadership that is so firmly entrenched, it has lost all sense of fiscal reality or moral judgment. Which brings us to my final point. Our great state — the Land of Lincoln — is the laughing stock around the entire country. Want to know how NOT to run a state government? Illinois would be a case study extraordinaire. But who is to blame? Ultimately, it is we ourselves who are to blame. We have allowed this nonsense to continue for way

Write to us too long. The beauty of a true republic is it is a government for the people, by the people. When things get out of kilter, it is up to the citizenry to correct the course. We have abdicated our responsibility to poor leaders who are unaccountable. Sorry to say it. Shame on us.

‘Too much government’ To the Editor Revamp our Obamacare is a given. Look at the numbers; we had added millions onto the welfare of health care. As entitlements make up by those who had given up to work and pay their own health care. We lost a million Illinois residents due to our Democratic state officials who only know how to raise taxes and not create new jobs. It’s new jobs that pay the bills and grow the economy. Those of us who pay the high cost of present health care insurance premiums, shouldn’t. The government has no right to force us. The Amish doesn’t pay this tax. They cover there own needs. We have too much government, and we need to use our government to protect us from our enemies not tax us out of the state and country. Are we so lazy or ignorant that we can’t see the forest because of all the trees?

I support school funding reform To the Editor, School funding reform is of the utmost importance to all Illinois residents, whether they have children in the public school system or not. The majority of funding for our public schools is supposed to be given by the state government, yet over time the state has fallen short of this constitutional mandate. When that happens, the responsibility is shifted to the property taxpayers, which is why we pay so much more here in Illinois than in surrounding states. The budget passed earlier this month left many questions in regards to education funding. Specifically, the budget increased funding for education, but only appropriates that money if the evidence based model is in effect. Currently, the foundation formula is in state statute, so money
cannot be distributed to school districts until that is changed. This is a clear example of the majority party using children to further their political agenda. During the spring legislative session, a bipartisan working group of Democrats and Republicans made great strides negotiating to change current foundation formula to the evidence-based model. Unfortunately, like we see far too often, the majority party walked away from negotiations. Instead, in the final week of session, they ran their own bill which imbeds a perpetual Chicago Public Schools (CPS) pension bailout into the formula. School funding reform is about making sure all 852 school districts in Illinois receive the funding they need to educate their students properly. That’s why the proposed idea that 70 percent of the new funding will head to Chicago when they only contain 23 percent of our student population is preposterous. This CPS bailout is not about improved learning for CPS students. This money will not be headed for the classrooms. It is about adults’ pensions, not children’s education. How does bailing out CPS pensions help students in classrooms anywhere else around the state? That’s why I have chosen to support bills that truly send the money where it is needed. Both HB4069 and SB1124 provide equitable funding for Illinois Valley schools as well as Chicago. By sitting back and accepting SB1 for what it is, I would be actively allowing almost $2 million that our school districts deserve, to be sent up to Chicago to correct years of financial mismanagement. I am focused on ensuring Illinois is taking a fair approach so that all school districts get the critical resources they need to educate our children.

‘A better chance of staying dry’ To the Editor, Illinois is seeing first-hand the havoc flooding creates for people in Northern Illinois. Four counties have been declared disaster areas as the Fox River, Des Plaines River, Chain of Lakes and other waterways have wiped out property and infrastructure. The state of Illinois has the largest collection of inland bodies of water and rivers in the continental United States. Twelve
percent of surface in Illinois is mapped as a flood plain. My 38th Senate District, which stretches from Bureau County on the west to Will County on the east, has about 130 miles worth of river frontage, one of the most in the state. Ottawa alone is the watershed for 12,000 square miles. Flooding is serious in Illinois, and it requires a serious approach to deal with it. Like Northern Illinois right now, in 2013, communities I represent along the Illinois and Fox rivers also lived the hardships that comes with severe flooding. Many neighborhoods, businesses and infrastructure were destroyed. The Morris Hospital had to close. Thousands of lives were impacted; property was lost; tokens of precious memories were gone forever; and infrastructure had to be rebuilt. That flood cost LaSalle and Grundy counties alone more than $150 million. That’s why after that flood, my office teamed up with local leaders and started the Illinois Valley Flood Resiliency Alliance (IVFRA). The IVFRA brings communities, local governments and emergency personnel together as one unit to prepare for and battle floods. It includes LaSalle, Grundy, Bureau, and Putnam counties. The IVFRA meets four times a year and has resiliency plans in place for the region. Cities in my district have implemented new flood-related ordinances that are helping keep water away from homes, schools and businesses. There are also now 24 new certified floodplain managers in my district. The IVFRA has received statewide and national attention. It’s is also now approved as a continuing education credit for certified floodplain managers. In April, our area saw rising rivers and streams after heavy rainfall. However, after coordinating with members of our Illinois Valley Flood Resiliency Alliance, the impact was minimal. How governments respond upstream and downstream impacts other communities along the waterway. So, being on the same page as a region has made a big difference. The IVFRA is truly a model other regions of the state and the country should adopt. It has given our communities a better chance at staying dry.

Granville Cemetery Notice Price increase

For over 20 years the cost of grave spaces at the Granville Cemetery has been $300.00 each. At a recent board of director’s meeting, it was voted to raise the price to $400.00 effective October 1, 2017. We have opened up new sections of the cemetery, the area west of the Mausoleum and south, due to the lack of available spaces for sale in the current sections. You will soon see construction of a gravel road giving access to this new area. Anyone wanting to purchase spaces at the current price must do so before October 1, 2017. Please contact Barbara Kessler at 815-326-0202 or email kesslerskorner@yahoo.com for further information.

HENNEPIN
Rotary sees caring side of cancer care PERU — Putnam County Rotary’s “road trip” to the Valley Regional Cancer Center in Peru on July 13 was a journey into the unknown — and a realization of how fortunate residents of the Illinois Valley are to be able to receive highly skilled medical care when and where they need it most! Located north of the Target store in Peru, the Center combines a highly equipped clinical laboratory, a full range of diagnostic imaging, chemotherapy and radi-
ation therapy, all under one roof — a “one stop shop” for diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer and blood disorders. Following dinner catered in by neighboring Jalapeno’s Restaurant, program host Adriane Shore introduced fellow Rotarian Karen Karczewski, clinical coordinator for Valley Regional Health Services, as well as nuclear medicine technologist Michell Heider of Alliance Radiology and marketing specialist Nancy Jack-
son of McKesson Oncology. The three provided a tour of the facilities and explained the services provided at the Center. Two medical oncologists and one radiation oncologist staff the Center on a full-time basis and are on call for after hours and weekend emergencies. The facility serves hundreds of patients each week, who would otherwise have to travel to obtain similar services in Rockford, Chicago or Peoria, or in some cases out of state.

PRINCETON — For its last production of the summer season, Festival 56 offers “Sweet Charity,” an award-winning musical with a star-studded history. The show runs from July 28 to Aug. 6 at the Grace Performing Arts Center in Princeton. “Sweet Charity” is based on a Federico Fellini film, “Nights of Cabiria.” Adapted by Neil Simon, it debuted in 1966 on Broadway with music by Cy Coleman (“Hey! Look Me Over”) and lyrics by Dorothy Fields (“On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “I’m In the Mood for Love”). It was directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse and starred Gwen Verdon. In the musical, Charity Hope Valentine is a taxi dancer (so named because the girls were hired for time spent with customers on the dance floor) at a Times Square dance hall. Her middle name becomes significant as she bounces back from one romantic disappointment after another. Finally she meets Oscar, the man of her dreams, who calls her “Sweet Charity.” Will he disappoint her, too? “Sweet Charity” was nominated for nine Tony awards, has played in
countries all over the world, and has enjoyed many revivals. A 1969 movie version starred Shirley MacLaine and John McMartin and was again directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse. Festival 56’s production of Sweet Charity is sponsored by Bureau Valley VisionCare and Central Bank. Season sponsors are Heartland Bank and Trust Company, Illinois Arts Council, Princeton Tourism and Visitors Bureau, and the National Endowment for the Performing Arts. The Grace Performing Arts Center is located at 316 S. Main St. in Princeton and is completely accessible with ample parking nearby. To purchase tickets, visit www. festival56.com, call 815879-5656, email boxoffice@ festival56.com or stop by the theater. The box office is open noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and one hour before performances. Tickets are $29, $26 (seniors 65 plus) and $14 for students.

Registration is open for 5K Run/Walk for the Kids during Ottawa’s Riverfest OTTAWA — Pull out your running shoes because the Starved Rock Regional Center for Therapy & Child Development’s (formerly Easter Seals LBC) annual 5K Run/Walk for the Kids will kick off during Ottawa’s Riverfest festivities on Saturday, Aug. 5. The Starved Rock Regional Center for Therapy & Child Development (SRRC) 5K Run/Walk for the Kids starts and ends at Ottawa Township High School, 211 East Main St., Ottawa. Check in and race day registration begins at 6:30 a.m., runners start at 8 a.m. The run/walk follows a USA Track and Field certified course, winding through the historic east side of Ottawa, including the scenic Illinois and Michigan Canal passage. One hundred percent of all money raised at this event
remains local, helping children in the community to achieve their maximum potential. Runners will be timed and the top overall female and male runners will receive trophies. Also, runners placing first, second or third in 13 different age categories will receive medals. All early registrants are guaranteed a T-shirt. Pre-registration is open now on line at www.runsignup.com/srrc. Participants can also register at SRRC at1013 Adams St. in Ottawa. The registration fee is $25 until Friday, July 28, and $30 after. Children 12 and under are welcome to participate in the 5K for free, but will not receive a T-shirt or be professionally timed unless they are registered for the 5K or Fun Run. SRRC will be offering a Fun Run just for kids
immediately following the 5K at Ottawa High School. The race is $10 and each child that participates will receive a T-shirt and prize. All children from the community are welcome to participate. SRRC depends on community support in or order to provide developmental screenings for 0-3 year olds, therapy services for children and child care for typically developing children and those with special needs. Without donations, SRRC would not exist and families could be forced to drive to Chicago or other cities multiple times a week for therapy services and screenings. For more information, contact Tracy Beattie at 815-434-0857 or tracyb@ starvedrockcenter.org, or register online at www.runsignup.com/srrc.

LASALLE — The LaSalle Public Library will host bat naturalists Dan and Sharon Peterson at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 27, with a program that will educate and entertain with exciting facts about bat species. Using an interactive, multimedia presentation, Dan and Sharon will introduce the audience to many bat species of the world, as well as focusing in more detail on species native to Illinois, and dispelling negative myths. Discover how bats echolocate, what kinds of foods they eat, and contributions they make to the environment, to humans, and the places bats inhabit. Learn about the difficulties facing bats and what can be done to conserve these remarkable animals.
Following the presentation, the Petersons will provide a unique opportunity for the audience by featuring live bats. Both the Egyptian Fruit Bat and an African Straw-Colored Fruit Bat will provide opportunities for the audience to learn more about these bats, and for many audience members, provide a surprising hands-on experience with these fantastic night animals. The Petersons, in addition to their bats, will bring Baxter, the sweet-smelling skunk and his sister, Bella. The event, for all ages, is free and open to the public. Children under the age of 8 years must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The library is located at 305 Marquette in LaSalle. For more information, call the library at 815-223-2341.

MEETING MINUTES IVCC BOARD OGLESBY — The state budget that survived a veto from Gov. Bruce Rauner last week will bring financial assurances to Illinois Valley Community College after more than two years of uncertainty, IVCC President Jerry Corcoran told the board July 13. Corcoran credited the college community for remaining optimistic throughout the prolonged stalemate. “Our students, faculty, staff and board have all handled this unfortunate problem well, without anyone overreacting to a very difficult situation. Similar to what one of IVCC’s state representatives Bob Pritchard (R-Hinckley) said when commenting on why he voted for the budget, I too believe this is what we needed to turn things around and help stabilize enrollment,” Corcoran said. The college expects to be reimbursed for MAP payments it fronted to students in 2016-17 including
$307,706.92 for the fall semester alone. In other business, the board approved a tentative 2018 budget totaling more than $31 million. Revenue for all funds is $31,208,559, a 5.1 percent decrease from 2017 and expenditures are $31,850,619, a 5.1 percent decrease. Operating budget revenue is $21,354,944, a 3.1 percent decrease from the previous year. Expenditures are $21,431,044, a 3.8 percent decrease. To balance operating funds, there will be a transfer of $87,000 from auxiliary funds for IT infrastructure. Trustees also approved naming an open “pre-function” area near the Cultural Centre and a pair of adjacent conference rooms for donor and alumnus Ralph Scriba of Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif. Scriba’s recent $50,000 donation for agriculture scholarships and instructional equipment put his total donations at $250,000 since he
began giving to IVCC in 2013. Scriba graduated from IVCC predecessor La Salle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College in 1951 and was inducted into the IVCC-LPO Hall of Fame in 2015. “With the most recent donation, Mr. Scriba qualifies for a new level of recognition based on the naming rights policy,” said Corcoran. The pre-function area and CTC124 and 125 will be named “The Ralph Scriba Conference Center.” A formal naming ceremony is planned for the fall semester. Trustees also approved: • The appointment of Bonnie Campbell as Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs until Deborah Anderson returns. Campbell is the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. • The appointment of nursing instructor Maddalena Alfano, a parttime instructor in the program and a former clinical education, clinical educator scholar and RN at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

HENRY
ImAGination Acres is a popular place at M-P Fair HENRY — Many a bushel of corn were loaded onto barges at Acres O’Grain Elevator, ImAGination Acres newest attraction. The tugboat, Imagination, was in place for them to “push” the barges down the river. ImAGination Acres is the young children’s play area at the Marshall-Putnam Fair. It is provided by Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau with the assistance of University of Illinois Extension Marshall Putnam Ag in the Classroom and is made up of a variety of ag-related stations. Two newly-designed water tables were a big hit with young children. Here, they made a pinwheel turn, floated a ping pong ball in a bird feeder and cascaded water through a waterfall. The Farmer’s Market was located just outside the vegetable garden and “sold” a variety
of produce. Pagano’s Pizzeria, where pretend pizza was made to order, and the ever popular Excavating Sand Pit were never without occupants. Another new attraction this year was the big red barn surrounded by six animal pens containing farm animals. Children hauled bales of straw and hay as well as animals with the tractors and wagons provided. Ag Fun Things to Do, sponsored by First State Bank of McNabb and Marshall Putnam Ag in the Classroom, had children making volcano and polka dot wave bottles and Farmer Mac’s Moon Sand. Making fluffy foam, baking soda volcanos and mixing colored water to create new colors were additional scheduled activities during the fair. So many people contributed time and money to make possible this popular attraction.
