IEMA grants more than $73,000 Tri-County area to receive federal dollars By Goldie Rapp
and
Dave Cook
news@bcrnews.com
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) recently announced it would be awarding grants totaling $4 million to 120 accredited city and county emergency management agencies throughout the state.
The monies are Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG), which are funded by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each year, the award amounts are determined by a base amount plus population-based formula prescribed by administrative rule. This year, Bureau County was allotted $21,218.73; LaSalle County was allotted $36,778.01 and Putnam County was allotted $15,508.71. Bureau County EMA Director Keenan Campbell explained in order for EMA agencies to qualify for the grants, each
agency must conduct exercises, attend trainings and meetings as requested by IEMA and have an approved County Emergency Operations Plan. “If we meet all of those requirements, then IEMA will recognize (the agency) as an accredited county emergency management agency making us eligible for these grant funds,” Campbell said, adding Bureau County has been accredited for decades. The EMPG covers up to 50 percent of expenses that have already been depleted in the previous quarter. The funds
Cruising to success
are a reimbursement of up to 50 percent of the director’s salary, EMA operational expenses, public outreach and preparedness programs, and other events EMA may develop. “These funds help all of us complete our jobs and provide the best services we can for our citizens,” Campbell said. While monies granted through the EMPG help sustain the local agencies, many will say there are still aspects of the program that still needs funding.

2016 Cruise-In had something for everyone in Granville By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — More than 100 cars lined McCoy Street for the annual Granville Cruise-In on Friday, Aug. 5, and spectators enjoyed the thousands of horsepower present along with every color represented in the miles deep paint and reflected in the glistening chrome. “It’s a great time. There’s lots of cars, and this is the perfect time of year for this type of event. Having this on Friday night is a wonderful way for everyone to kick off their weekend. It’s got that small town feel we all enjoy, and let’s not forget, the Spidervette is here,” said village board member Randy Borio. As Spiderman mingled with fans and posed for pictures, others visited the

the Granville Cruise Committee, this was one of the most well-attended cruises since it began in 2007. “It always amazes me how many people show up and how early cars begin to arrive. We started this as a Hopkins Alumni reunion event, and it just keeps growing. Every year we donate the proceeds to a different group. This year’s proceeds are being given to the Putnam County Community Center,” Sandberg said. As those in attendance viewed the cars representing several decades of the best of Detroit, the music filling the street was occasionally interrupted by the roar of the rumbling, high octane power made by the classics parked along the street ... everyone had a favorite.

petting zoo for pony rides, and many tried to guess what one of the more unusual attractions was. “He’s a Patagonian Cavy from Argentina. He’s gentle, but very fast, so we don’t want him to get loose,” said Deb Moreland of Princeton’s Furry Friends, as she held the leash of the animal that looked like an odd, long-legged, shorteared rabbit. The vendors in the food areas stayed busy. There was freshly-made kettle corn, Mexican food, grilled meat and frozen treats; nearly every child’s face was stained blue or red from the popular snow cones available. Balloon artist Doug Smith of The Unique Twist was also kept busy as children formed a long line to wait for their colorful balloon hats and swords. According to Charlene Sandberg of

GRANVILLE — During the Aug. 2 Granville Village Board meeting, Chamlin and Associate’s Mike Richetta wrapped up the lengthy McCoy Street project. The board passed the change order and final payout for the recent work around the railroad crossing Board members, Sheli Starkey, the public works superintendent, and Richetta then discussed needed work and possible improvements to the Granville Village Water Works. Starkey reported they’re waiting on the delivery of polymer for the floor. Board members then discussed the operation of the current system and the possibility of upgrading to a screw press system for the handling of sludge. Richetta had located similar screw presses in Oglesby and Sheridan and began to arrange a trip for village representatives to tour one of the facilities to see the system in action. To help increase safety for village motorists and pedestrians, the board passed a new stop sign ordinance.

SPRING VALLEY — Past Commander Art Buck of the Spring Valley American Legion has his fingers crossed ... and so do several other members of the Spring Valley VFW and American Legion. In a press release from Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru), she acknowledged there is a resolution on the table to name the new Route 89 bridge that connects Bureau and Putnam counties the Illinois Valley Veterans Memorial Bridge. Rezin sponsored the resolution (HJR 142). She said the resolution has already passed the House, and she is hopeful the Senate will pass it when lawmakers return to Springfield in November. “Illinois veterans are very special and deserve recognition, respect and admiration for their dedication to protecting our state, nation and freedom around the world,” Rezin said. “This is a small token of our appreciation as we can never do enough to honor those who fought so bravely for the freedoms we enjoy today. The veterans we honor paid the ultimate price, and it is important that their sacrifices are never forgotten.

Construction on the Route 89 bridge that connects Bureau and Putnam counties continues. Plans are underway to rename the bridge to honor area veterans. “All our veterans are true American heroes, and they embody what our country and state stands for — freedom, democracy, integrity and compassion,” Rezin said. Buck said the combined efforts of the Spring Valley VFW and the Spring Valley American Legion are the ones spearheading the request to name the bridge in honor of Illinois Valley veterans. “(The idea) originated from a couple of guys.

current members are getting up in years. “We need members so bad; it’s pathetic,” he said. Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini, who is also a veteran, said he thinks naming the bridge for area veterans would be honorable. “I think it would be very nice to honor all the veterans,” Marini said. Construction began this year on replacing the current Route 89 bridge.
we should honor our veterans in town. They deserve it,” Buck said, who is a Vietnam veteran. “It would really be a pat on the back for us. “We are just holding our breath and hoping it does go through,” Buck said of the request to name the bridge for area veterans. “At the meeting last month, they were just ecstatic.” Buck said both the American Legion and VFW are in dire need of more members, as

I like seeing everyone in town and what’s been chosen to be restored; it shows the owner’s personalities,” resident Leanna Burress said. Up and down the street, friends greeted each other warmly and enjoyed reconnecting with each other. Along with the music and rumble of the V-8s, the most frequently heard sound at the cruise-in was laughter. “I like showing off my vehicle, mingling with friends and having fun; it’s a nice social gathering,” Hennepin’s Matt Kostellic said.

Upgrades From Page 1 Village Attorney Brad Popurella said it would be “to add stop signs on the southwest corner of Westcott Street where it intersects with Turner; that’s wide open now. And the other is just on the other end of that street on the northeast corner of Westcott at the intersection with Hawkins, which there are trees there that kill visibility.” The board also passed an action on the municipal utility tax ordinance from July amending its language. Popurella explained the change was made on behalf of Ameren’s requirements, and the specifics of the ordinance taking effect on Sept. 1 had not been altered. Officer Brian Gonet was promoted to sergeant during the meeting by Granville Chief of Police Kevin Moore. Gonet has been with the Granville Police Department for almost four years. The board approved the yearly budget. The board also approved
Grants From Page 1 Connie Brooks, director of LaSalle County EMA, explained while the EMPG is meant to cover a maximum of 50 percent of the day-to-day business operations, since 2011, the monies LaSalle County has received only covers, at most, 25 percent of eligible administrative costs for which has been applied. “While emergency management agencies are grateful for what grant funding they receive
needed repairs to the village’s snowplow. Lighting will be added for safety; the controls will be raised; a ladder fabricated and installed; and the wiring for the spreader controls will be repaired. The public works department also received approval to purchase a new welder for approximately $500. The current welder is old, in poor condition and no longer capable of meeting the needs of the department. Starkey reported new fire hydrants and valves have been ordered and work will soon be done at the corners of Archie Avenue and South Street and Archie Avenue and Hopkins Street. Planning continued for the girl’s dugout improvements and concession stand renovations at the park. The board has to consider ADA compliance with the dugout improvements, and they also discussed if purchasing a new shed for lawn mower storage would be more practical and cost effective than renovating the concession stand to include additional space for the mower. through EMPG, the grants only cover a fraction of total costs incurred by local jurisdictions with continually rising operational costs,” she said. In Putnam County, Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer, assistant coordinator for the county’s EMA, also pointed out how the grant cannot be used for disaster or response items. “For example, if we have to use our generator for a disaster, we can not use this grant to pay for fuel or repairs for the generator, or travel to take the generator to the disaster location,” she said.
Victims in fatal I-80 crash named OTTAWA — Illinois State Police have released the names of the individuals involved in a six-vehicle accident on Interstate 80 westbound near Mile Marker 93 Monday, Aug. 1. Donald E. Breckenridge, 69, of Lostant began the crash sequence
by failing to slow for construction. He struck a vehicle driven by Darrel E. Scott Jr., 26, of Highland, Ind. — with passenger Abigail A. Bohstedt, 25, of Highland, Ind. — into a third vehicle driven by Augenijus Stankevicius, 55, of Bolingbrook. All the vehicles continued into
separate vehicles driven by Octavio Vargas, 34, of Warrenville; Orville D. Akers, 62, of Rifle, Colo.; and Luke A. Kozak, 35, of Streator. Scott Jr., Bohstedt and Vargas all suffered fatal injuries due to the crash. Breckenridge was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash.
Farm Credit System donates $100K in honor of 100 years NORMAL – A $100,000 gift will benefit nearly 118 groups dedicated to the future of Illinois agriculture and rural communities. To capstone the 100-year anniversary of the Farm Credit System, the 1st Farm Credit Services Board of Directions made the donation to groups making a difference in their communities. “Giving back to the communities that have made the past 100 years possible for us was an important part of our celebration,” said Gary J. Ash, president/CEO of 1st Farm Credit Services. “We believe that every investment we can make into the future is critical to our current and future generation of clients and those committed to agriculture and rural Illinois.” The Farm Credit System celebrated its 100-year anniversary on July 17. The system supports rural com-
munities and agriculture with reliable, consistent credit and financial services, today and tomorrow. 1st Farm Credit Services is one of 78 associations in the system. 1st Farm Credit Services team members worked together to select groups in their communities to receive the gifts. Each selected organization contributes to the future of Illinois agriculture and rural America in its own unique way, from helping children who will become the next generation of farmers, to making sure people have access to nutritious meals. The groups in the area receiving donations from the $100,000 include: • Ag in the Classroom- Bureau County • American Red Cross of Central Illinois
• Annawan FFA • Bureau County 4-H • Bureau Valley FFA • Henry-Stark County 4-H • LaMoille FFA • LaSalle County 4-H Fair • Princeton FFA 1st Farm Credit Services supports rural communities and agriculture with reliable, consistent credit and financial services today and tomorrow. The association serves 42 counties in the northern half of Illinois, through its 16 local offices, with agricultural loans, risk management products and various services such as crop insurance, loan and lease options, as well as agricultural real estate appraisals. It is a proud member of the nationwide Farm Credit System, which celebrates its 100year commitment to rural communities and agriculture in 2016.
Agricultural Museum open house
The money in Putnam County is currently being used to pay items such as coordinator and assistant coordinator’s salaries, utilities for the EMA building, travel expenses, tower space for radio repeaters, preparedness ads in local newspapers and the new radio communications paging system and installation that had to be replaced. “This grant only covers 50 percent of these items and only up to $15,508.71. This money is not going to cover 50 percent of all of the items listed above,” she said.
The annual Agricultural Museum Open House of the Putnam County Historical Society will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 14, at 501 Old Highway 26 in Hennepin. Visitors will be able to see the antique tractors and vehicles brought by local collectors as well as the permanent displays of agricultural equipment, tools, wildlife, coal mining, military memorabilia, an early 1900s general store, a post office, a one room school and a farm kitchen. The “Crops for College” tractor drive, hosted by the Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau’s Young Leaders group, will also stop at the museum for lunch, so there will be more tractors than usual. At 1 p.m. filmmaker Stephen Parry will present “The Hayloft Gang: The Story of
The National Barn Dance,” a Road Scholar program sponsored by the Illinois Humanities Council. The National Barn Dance was a variety show broadcast out of Chicago from 1924 to 1960 and was one of the most popular country music radio shows of the 1930s and ‘40s. Everyone is invited, and admission is free. Pork chop lunches will be available for purchase. The Agricultural Museum is handicapped accessible. The Pulsifer House, the historic house museum built in 1844, will also be open for tours, but is not handicapped accessible.

PMH Cardiac Rehab offers monitors for outpatients PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Department now offers Holter Monitors for outpatients. A Holter Monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records the heart’s activity continuously for a specific amount of time. The unit checks for fast, slow or irregular heartbeats called arrhythmia. Patients will be asked to keep a log on a provided cell phone of their activities and symptoms during the testing period. If the patient feels symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats or dizziness, they are asked to note in their log the type of symptoms and what they
were doing at the time. The device is the size of a small camera. It has wires with silver dollar-sized electrodes that attach to your skin. A cellphone, used specifically to download the collected data, will be given to the patient. After the testing period, the monitor will be returned and the results will be read by a physician from Heartcare Midwest in Peoria. They will prepare a report for a person’s provider. A provider’s referral is needed. The provider’s nurse can call and schedule an appointment, or the patient can contact the rehab department directly and make an appointment at 815-876-4494.
IVCC’s Field Day helps mark return to ag By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
OGLESBY — As IVCC celebrates the return of its ag program for students preparing to enter the field, it’s also partnered with the University of Illinois Extension, the Illinois Farm Bureau, the Illinois Council on Best Management Practices (CBMP), the Soil Health Partnership and the Illinois Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program to help build the knowledge of current farmers and agronomists. IVCC hosted its first Ag Field Day on Aug. 2, and the topics focused on cover crop management for ag retailers, the importance of nutrient loss reduction strategies and the impact of soil health on the industry. “We’re trying to bring the idea of best management practices to them, but for them to do them for their own economic reasons, for their own profit. These practices are also good for the environment,” Jim Isermann, field manager for the Soil Health Partnership, said. The day’s program was designed for agronomists and CCAs, and there were approximately 25 people in attendance from throughout the local area.
“We’ve had a lot of interest and good questions. Some of the farmers here have already been experimenting and are looking to build their knowledge base,” Russ Higgins, commercial agriculture educator for the Extension, said. During his presentation, Isermann explained why the program was valuable to local ag retailers and why thorough knowledge of cover crops is necessary. “They (farmers) want to work with an ag retailer who knows what’s going on and has the same concept of farming as they do, and those farmers are growing. I know farmers who are getting farms because of these cover crops, and we’re actually seeing landlords seek out farmers because they’ve got them,” Isermann said. Isermann said the Soil Health Partnership is looking to build 100 demonstration sites through the Midwest. There are currently 18 sites in Illinois, and the goal is to get 30 sites within five years. He predicted they’d likely meet that goal next year and then continue to grow. The Ag Field Day program is expected to continue to grow as well. “As this continues we want to move into more of the nuts and bolts of cover crop management. That would be the next step, to talk about species, varieties, what they can be integrated with; that was a small part of today. We’re building the interest of why we need to be looking at cover crops and
soil health for industry reasons and nutrient loss reduction strategies. We’ll be looking more at in-field demonstrations of cover crop seedings and actually getting more in depth with the management,” Isermann said. According to an IVCC press release, the school and the Extension are in the early stages of utilizing approximately 149 acres of farmland to develop a soil research program. The research’s initial focus is to find effective ways of reducing cropland nitrogen loss, an important environmental concern linked to the health of the Illinois and Mississippi River watersheds. “We’re trying to promote practices that help with soil health and with nutrient management. We’re supposed to decrease our nitrate-nitrogen load by 15 percent by 2025,” Higgins said. The day also featured presentations on Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategies by Lauren Lurkins from the Illinois Farm Bureau; Consumer Demands Facing the Agriculture Industry by Monsanto’s Kevin Hoffman; Herbicide Management of Cover Crops by Pete Fondle of the CBMP; and CCA Value and Specialties by Luther Smith a certified association executive (CAR). Higgins said “Our joint goal is to build on resources and collaborate on programming that supports the area’s ag industry, including ag producers and agri-businesses, and serve IV’s new agriculture students.”
Field Day set in Marshall County shall-Putnam SWCD, Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau, Wetlands Initiative, S&S Farm Chemical Inc., and Cropsmith Inc. – the field day will have several discussions and presentations on soil health, cover crops, water testing and local programs. The morning begins at the Rutland American Legion with regis-

Social ... without the media Our society is firmly entrenched in the digital age, and its prevalence will only grow. Children are coming of age who’ve never known the world without its presence. The Internet is invaluable; information has never been Dave so easily accessible; Cook and the promise for society is inarguable. COMMENTARY However, when it comes to social interaction, and even with informational access, the Internet is far from perfect. It seems it’s generally accepted that it’s necessary to be involved with social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or any of the others working to convince us an account with them is required in order to not be left behind. There’s a comedic bit on the television program “Portlandia” about a man stuck in a “tech loop,” unable to get away from computer and phone because he’s continuously cycling between texts, emails and other accounts. He pleads to his girlfriend to help him break free. I think many can identify. Our new age is a non-stop barrage of everything ... news, advertising, entertainment, information, misinformation, the horrible, the humorous, the meaningful and the meaningless. It’s overwhelming and impossible to keep up with, filter and process; it’s no wonder so many feel anxiety and depression. I’ve always been uneasy with social media, but I tried. It seems somewhat unnatural and destined to result in someone eventually being alienated or offended. What’s appropriate, entertaining or understood by one group of friends may not be to another. There’s also no barrier allowed between personal and professional. Our relationships with each other aren’t one-size-fits-all; people are too complex. I’d much rather socialize face to face. I had a love/hate relationship with social media, it was just useful enough to keep, but much like television, the quality and usefulness continue to lessen for me. I decided long ago to no longer pay for television because I couldn’t justify spending money for commercials and a bulk of programming aiming for the lowest common denominator. I still have a television and watch it regularly, but I try to be selective. The Internet is much the same way, as the quality seems to lessen, I’ve decided to step away from much of it. My son has followed my lead, and together we’ve found it’s an addictive feeling, but easily beatable. For the first several days, the habit of moving toward Facebook was felt, and we decided to put our phones down and use the time more constructively. I still search online for information, but by breaking the tech loop, I’ve realized how much more present I am in my own life. I’m more at ease without a screen in my face. I’ve begun reading more, books that is, and feel it’s a more relaxing and controlled way to absorb information and learn uninterrupted. I’m not a Luddite by any means, but lessening the relentless flow of the Internet into my life has only been positive. I may no longer be instantly privy to every development of people’s lives, but it’s not a problem. I learn of them more naturally now and at a reasonable pace. I’d rather share someone’s news in person rather than clicking a button. I’m still social; I always have been, but constantly trying to stay on top of everything online isn’t for me. I don’t even think it’s possible. Too much time plugged in is not only unnecessary, but unhealthy. Facebook, Twitter and other sites train your mind to think in short, soundbite-like thoughts, and that seems as though it could limit the development of discussion. There’s much more that could be said about the online realm, but for now, I’m quite happy to be an occasional visitor rather than a full-time resident.

TO Letters THE Editor
Paying it forward in Putnam County To the Editor, Wonder if you ever watched the movie that was out years ago titled, “Pay it Forward?” Well I can pretty much guarantee you the people in this letter either watched it or inspired it! I was at the Dollar General getting school supplies for my kindergarten class. I saw a woman (you know who you are), and she said she wished she could still purchase school supplies too ... meaning that her children were too old for them. I laughed and said she could still buy crayons because now they make coloring books for all ages. She laughed too and said, “Thank you for ail you do (as a teacher).” How
kind of her to say that to me. I continued to shop until a cashier comes up to me and says, “You know that lady that was talking to you about being a teacher; she left you $16 to put towards your purchases.” Wow! Needless to say, I was thrilled! I went to check out, and there was a man behind me. He saw all the supplies and asked if I was a teacher. I said yes and that I taught kindergarten. I proceeded to suggest he purchase more than one pack of crayons for his little first-grader as little ones do tend to accidentally break their crayons. We continued to chat. After my purchases were totaled up and paid for, he said, “Please go and get
$10 more of school supplies for your class on me.” Again, I was thrilled. Not only was I delighted that both people contributed to my school supplies for my students but more importantly the kindness both of them showed to both my students and me. So why did I feel the need to share this story? I think it is a grand tribute to the quality of people we have in our community! So, thank you to those two generous people along with all the other kind and caring people in our community. You are noticed and appreciated. Dianne Alleman Putnam County kindergarten teacher Granville
To the Editor, Gov. (Bruce) Rauner signed a bill to allow the board of trustees of public universities and community colleges to decide whether to allow the sale of alcohol at public events. Did politicians and university officials consider the high costs of alcohol? The economic cost of alcohol is $807 per person per year, whether you drink or not. The cost is $249 billion annually, according to Center for Disease Control. Underage drinking and alcohol abuse by college students are a major concern both for individuals and the campus community. Vir-
tually all students experience the effects of college drinking, whether they drink or not. One-fourth of college students experience academic consequences due to drinking, and 20 percent met the criteria for alcohol abuse/dependence, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Colleges students are injured, assaulted, attempt suicide, experience sexual abuse, health problems and die each year as a result of alcohol. Alcohol-related problems tend to go up when alcohol is more readily accessible to young adults. Allowing the sale of alcohol at sporting and public events
at colleges could lead to an increase in underage drinking, alcohol abuse, and drinking and driving. The board of trustees at Illinois universities and community colleges will develop their alcohol policies within the next six months. If you are alumni or have children or grandchildren attending there, please contact the board of trustees. Ask the trustees not to allow the sale of alcohol at sporting events, concerts, or public events in the stadiums/arenas. Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol and Addiction Problems Springfield
To the Editor, I applaud state political representatives for working to improve Illinois’ infrastructure. I agree that creative measures must be taken, but in these times of land grabs for private gain, I plead that the long-term future of the state be weightily considered. Illinois relies heavily on agricultural for economic stability. A majority of Illinois jobs are tied to agriculture. From agriculture and chemical companies to anyone in the banking, transportation, food, lumber and textile industries, many are tied to farming. Farming is the backbone of our country, but it can’t be done without the soil we are fortunate to have in this fertile part of the world.
Farmable land is a valuable non-renewable resource. Each acre taken out of production affects the community, the job market and the world economy. Our area has been bombarded with projects wanting to take farmland out of production. Wind and solar projects which rely heavily on federal subsidies and could quickly fall out of favor, as they have in many European countries, threaten to alter the farmable soil forever. I realize infrastructure needs to be improved, but in the case of private speculative projects such as long haul DC transmission lines (RICL and GBE) and toll railroads to slightly shorten freight hauling time (GLB) the lack of proven need should be enough
to stop any land grab. When infrastructure projects are not initiated by the industry, in these cases power companies and existing railroads, and are not proven necessary, they are an unnecessary threat to the community and farmland. I urge our elected officials to continue finding creative funding for infrastructure improvements such as the privately funded toll bridge recently announced to improve intermodal traffic. I also ask they be critical of the speculative land grabs trying to take advantage of federal money and provide a service there is absolutely no need for. Susan Sack Mendota

Look at the long-term effects
My new normal I’m just getting back into the swing of things here in the newsroom after taking time off to welcome my first baby to the world. It’s been an adjustment getting used to my new normal as a working mom, but so far things are going well. Many didn’t believe I was coming back to work, but guess what, here I am. My reporting days are definitely not over. My life changed on April 2 when my daughter was placed in my arms. She came wrapped in a blanket wearing a pink and blue striped hat. She was crying, but as soon as she recognized my voice, she instantly stopped and gazed toward me. It was like love at first sight. I knew life as a mom was going to be great, but I now see it’s so much better than that — It’s wonderful, fabulous, amazing, superb, killer, magnificent, sublime. I can’t think of anything more joyous than waking up each day to this little baby that has my looks and quirks. I’m constantly counting my lucky stars I get to be her mom. The last few months, I’ve watched my tiny six-pound newborn turn into a bright, blue-eyed baby curious about the world around her. She’s not yet crawling, but she loves to lift her head up, look all around and listen to her surroundings. Some days
Goldie Rapp COMMENTARY I get the feeling she wants to walk right out of my arms and discover all that’s out there to see. People tell me she will be doing this sooner than later and remind me that kids grow up fast. Deep down I know they are right, so for now I squeeze my baby a little tighter to remind her that she’s mine, and the safest spot for her now is in my arms. Parenthood has been a great adventure for my husband and me. I’ve discovered a whole new man in my husband. People said our daughter would have him wrapped around her finger in no time, but I thought it would take longer than five minutes. It’s fun to see my husband, who is a hardworking farmer, be patient, caring and loving toward our baby girl. It warms my heart to see him feed her bottles or snuggle her after a long day at work. I get a kick out of watching him dress her in girly pink outfits. My husband wished for a boy, but I think he’s really taken a
liking to his new daughter. Secretly, I think he’s holding out on her being his little athlete. If she does end up becoming the athlete, then I have to admit she will get it entirely from her dad. I did Crossfit for two years and never developed an athletic bone in my body. Together, I feel my husband and I make a great team as parents. We both work hard and do our best when it comes to our daughter. I know we are still very fresh at this parenthood thing, but I would say, we’ve been forced to learn a lot of new things in a short period of time. We’re close to mastering the art of diaper changing; we know what hustle means in the middle of the night when preparing a bottle for our super hungry baby; I’m finally learning the trick to neatly folding newborn clothes, and together we’re working on deciphering what each cry and facial expression means. We have a lifetime to go on this journey — many more experiences and lessons to learn await us in our future. While some might be nervous not knowing what’s ahead, I get excited thinking about that horizon. Shaw Media Staff Writer Goldie Rapp can be reached at grapp@ bcrnews.com.

IHSA adopts new heat safety guidelines
Hennepin teen gets first in golf sectional
Ian Roach
Ian Roach of Hennepin was the first place winner at the IJGA Sectional #11 at Sanctuary Golf Course in New Lenox, Ill., on July 13. He shot a 77, five over par, shooting off of the blues. Roach golfed in the junior division, competing against 14 and 15 year olds. Roach is 14 and will be a freshman at Putnam County High School. Roach said he is always proud to represent Putnam County and Edgewood Golf Course at his golf competitions.
Edgewood Ladies League MCNABB — Low putts was the play of the day for the Edgewood Ladies League on Aug. 2. Barb Brennan and Kay Marincic were the hostesses. A Flight: Roberta Hensen (17 putts), Catherine Gregorich (17 putts). B Flight: Jane Nord (16 putts), Dolly Piccioli (16 putts). C Flight: Marge VanEss (19 putts), Judy Moriarity (19 putts). Low Gross: Roberta Hensen. Low Net: Barb Brennan, Jan Booker. Birdies: Roberta Hensen (316).
The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) board of directors voted to enact new heat safety guidelines for all IHSA postseason contests beginning with the 2016-17 school year. Officially called “Specific Guidelines for Managing Heat and Heat Illness,” the policy was created by the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. It applies only to State Series contests (regionals, sectionals, super-sectionals, state finals, football playoffs), but the IHSA board of directors, staff, sports medicine advisory committee and Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety encourage all member schools to use the policy as their minimum standard for managing heat at athletic competitions. “This policy builds on the IHSA’s tradition of putting student-athlete safety at the forefront,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “We believe we now have a policy that is very effective in safeguarding student-athletes, however schools are certainly welcome to impose even more stringent guidelines related to regular-season athletic competition in extreme heat if they choose to do so.” The policy is built upon Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) readings, which take into account factors such as humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover, in addition to air temperature, and is considered the most effective way of judging dangerous conditions by the Korey Stringer Institute and other industry experts. As the WBGT rises, the policy builds in different types of safety measures. For example, at a WBGT range of 80.0-84.5 degrees Fahrenheit, hosts would provide “cooling stations using methods such as ice towels”, while a WBGT range of 87.6-89.9 degrees Fahrenheit would require four separate four-minute water breaks within an hour of competition. At a WBGT of 90, all events would be postponed to a cooler time of day or the next applicable day. “According to the CDC, heat illness during practice or competition is the leading cause of death among U.S. high school athletes,” said Lindenwood University Department of Athletic Training Chair William Dill (MS, ATC, CSCS), who is a member of the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. “The first step for player safety is always prevention and this policy aims to prevent exertional heat illnesses by modifying competitions based on the WBGT. Hopefully, this policy will also raise awareness that exercising in the heat can be dangerous, but good policies can go a long way in protecting stu-
dent-athletes.” Anderson stressed that the IHSA board and staff understand there may be initial resistance from coaches that extreme heat could significantly alter playing schedules, especially in sports like baseball, where rest for pitchers is an important part of game-planning. The IHSA piloted the policy during the IHSA Class 3A and Class 4A Baseball and Softball State Finals on June 10-11 at Silver Cross Field in Joliet and the Eastside Centre in East Peoria, respectively. The IHSA altered game times to avoid playing during the hottest hours of the day and also added in ice towels and water breaks, among other measures, as the WBGT dictated. The IHSA used a Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer, which can provide an immediate WGBT reading, at both state final sites, however the device, which can range from approximately $100 to $500, is not a requirement to adhere to the IHSA policy. The policy provides a WBGT conversion chart for tournament managers, who can attain the necessary information from most smart phone weather applications. “It will undoubtedly take some time, resources and training to apply this policy,” said Anderson. “However, we know our schools understand the importance of putting student safety first. The ‘Play Smart. Play Hard.’ motto is built around that ideal.” The IHSA established “Play Smart. Play Hard.” in 2015, which is a player-safety initiative aimed at empowering student-athletes, parents, coaches and fans to educate themselves on player safety issues and the steps that have been taken in Illinois to protect student-athletes. Those efforts included forming a new IHSA committee, the Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety, who also endorsed the new policy. “Heat-related illness and death is 100 percent preventable,” said Northwestern University Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Training Services Tory Lindley, who is a member of the Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety. “I am proud of the IHSA for instituting this policy. Athletic trainers are now armed with the support needed to direct and educate athletes, coaches and administrators on who is at greatest risk and what actions can be taken to prevent a heat-related issue.” The IHSA will hold a series of interactive webinars to help educate member school coaches and administrators on the new policy in preparation for the fall season, and again prior to the start of the 2017 spring sports seasons.

Sanders, president of the RMA. “Hundreds of volunteer hours have gone into this project — including more than 300 hours by our webmaster, Jim Keating. Jim has done an amazing job for us. We are very happy with the results.” “It is a ‘work in progress’”, according to website committee chair and RMA Board member Ashley Bloomquist Baron. “We are still working on a few areas, including adding items for purchase. However,
people interested in supporting the mansion can now become members or make a donation online. This is a great addition to our website.” According to Sanders, the website features almost 100 photos of the mansion, both past and present. “We scoured our files and members’ cell phones, computers and cameras to get the photos we wanted. We also took photos of specific areas and events we wanted to feature on the website.”
One of the more interesting details: the background pattern behind most of the information on the website is a gently-faded photo of the custom-made carpet in the East Parlors of the mansion. The Reddick Mansion, built in 1858, is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and is open to the public for tours. The Mansion, at 100 W. Lafayette St. in Ottawa, also has meeting/reception rooms available for rent for special events.

Magnolia Township Preservation Association events MAGNOLIA — Several interesting events are planned at the Magnolia Township Preservation Association Museum in Magnolia in the coming months. During Magnolia Days, special events are scheduled throughout the weekend. On Friday, Aug. 19, the museum will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. featuring a special exhibit of Antique Toy Tractors courtesy of Lloyd Schrowang of Granville. The exhibit will be available all weekend. At 6 p.m., a program on “Gunsmiths of Illinois” will be presented by Curt Johnson of Tiskilwa, featuring the 1840 musket made in Magnolia by Henry Tope. On Saturday, Aug. 20, the museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will offer lunch in the Community Room from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. along with a bake sale. A yard sale offering gently used items will be available that day as well,
with all proceeds from the lunch and the yard/bake sales benefiting the museum. The yard sale and bake sale will be held on both Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20 and 21. On Sunday, Aug. 21, the museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will host lunch at 11:30 a.m. for anyone who registered for the Second Annual Putnam County Tractor Ride sponsored by Gene Johnson (309-238-3894). The proceeds from the tractor ride are going to the museum ADA fund, which is earmarked for the purchase of a wheelchair lift. In October, the MTPA first annual meeting will be held for members and those who are interested in township history; watch the paper and check Facebook for details or call 815257-0707 during museum hours (10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays) for more information.
Lady Landowners Tour date set HENRY — The Marshall-Putnam River Conservancy, with the Marshall-Putnam Soil and Water Conservation District, have announced the 2016 Lady Landowners Tour date has been set for Sept. 13, meeting at the Henry Presbyterian Church. The tour will be heading to Marquis Energy, Color Point and the Hegeler Carus Mansion. Agendas and information will be available soon. For more information, visit www.marshallputnam.com.
Agricultural Museum open house Aug. 14 HENNEPIN — The annual Agricultural Museum open house of the Putnam County Historical Society will be at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, at 501 Old Hwy 26, Hennepin. Local collectors will display antique tractors and vehicles as usual. The permanent displays are agricultural equipment and tools, wildlife, coal mining and military memorabilia, early 1900s general store, post office, one-room school and farm kitchen. The “Crops for College” Tractor Drive hosted by the
Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau’s Young Leaders group will also stop at the Ag Museum for lunch, so there will be more tractors on hand than usual. At 1 p.m., filmmaker Stephen Parry will present “The Hayloft Gang,” a Road Scholar program sponsored by the Illinois Humanities Council. Parry invites audiences to discover the story of a changing America, told through the lens of one of early radio’s most popular and influential programs. From the Great Depression through the
hardships of World War II, the National Barn Dance celebrated the folk traditions that were fading in an increasingly urbanized America and helped define an identity for a struggling generation. For rural listeners unsure of the future, or for homesick transplants confronting the city, the National Barn Dance served as a touchstone, from its first broadcast in 1924 to its last in 1960. Preceding the success of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville by nearly two decades, it made Chicago the capital
of country music prior to World War II. Everyone is invited and admission is free. Pork chop lunches will be available for purchase. The Agricultural Museum is handicapped accessible. Pulsifer House (the society’s historic house museum built in 1844) will also be open for tours. Pulsifer House is not handicapped accessible. For more information, contact Luke Holly at lholly@yahoo.com or Sid Whitaker at sidneywhitaker25@gmail.com or 815303-5104.

Superintendent’s newsletter August 1
On behalf of the Putnam County C.U.S.D. No. 535 Board of Education, administration, and staff, I welcome our students, families and community members to the 2016-17 school year. As I write this, the opening day of school is just around the corner. The staff and administration have been working countless hours in preparation for the upcoming school year. As the new district superintendent of our Putnam County Schools, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and talented educational staff, hardworking students, and supportive families and community. While I am new to the position, I am not new to the community. Our family has been fortunate to live in Putnam County the past nine years, and we look forward to many more. The upcoming school year presents quite a few changes with regards to staff. The most changes will be noticed at the high school with a new administrative team and several new staff members. The other buildings do have a few new faces as well. Putnam County would like to welcome the new members to our community. We would also like to sincerely thank our retirees for their dedicated years of service to our students. Personally, a huge thanks goes out to retired Superintendent Jay McCracken for all his support as we transitioned for my new position. Putnam County C.U.S.D. No. 535 will continue the mission to provide an educational environment where all students will learn and succeed ...
and all means ALL. The PC Education Foundation provides tremendous support and enrichment opportunities for our students that normally would not be possible. The Educational Program Improvement Council will continue to drive our curriculum enhancements. Rising Star remains our district improvement tool. The PC Mentoring Program will be busy providing all the new staff the necessary support. PC College Start is getting more interest from students. In honor of the district’s rich history, we are looking at getting a formal Putnam County Alumni Association started this year. Look for improvements and updates to the school website over the course of the year. Putnam County offers a wide array of extracurricular opportunities for our students. These opportunities promote team building, problem solving skills, and enrich the overall educational experience. The PC Athletic Boosters and Music Boosters are running strong and poised to provide support to our various programs. As the new superintendent of our Putnam County Schools, I remain committed to maintaining fiscal responsibility while improving the educational programs for our children. People say it takes a village to raise a child. Fortunately, Putnam County has tremendous support for our children. Our family is honored and blessed to be a part of Putnam County, and we appreciate everyone’s support. I hope everyone has a great year! Yours in Education, Carl B. Carlson, superintendent
Substitute coordinator position for the PC School District GRANVILLE — The shortage of substitutes within the school systems in the Illinois Valley area and across the state has reached a critical point. For so many years, each building in the Putnam County School District had been responsible for contacting and securing substitutes for every possible position within the school. The trend the district has noticed over the last few years is that the list of names of people able and willing to serve as substitutes has dwindled to alarming lows. What developed is most of the substitutes on numerous occasions were receiving multiple calls from the school district’s different buildings. It reached the
point that each building was beginning to fight over the same people. The district employs close to 140 people. Compound that with employees having their own families and personal responsibilities, and one can see quickly the need for a long list of substitutes. In an effort to be more efficient and professional in this realm, the school district has been able to shift some responsibilities around within its current personnel to provide a staff member the time needed to handle this very large responsibility. Janice Hoffman has been hired for the position of substitute coordinator and started those duties on Aug. 1. She will be coordinating
all the substitutes for the district. There will be an in-service on Aug. 16 for those who have served as a substitute in the Putnam County School District or for anyone interested in signing up. The requirements for serving the various substitute roles can also be reviewed. The in-service will begin at 9 a.m. at the Putnam County Primary School. After a brief meeting, the district will be providing a tour of each building in the district. The number to reach Janice Hoffman is 815-882-2800 (option 9). Feel free to call her during school hours with any questions or for any further information about being a substitute for the school district.
BCGS to sponsor beginning level genealogy class PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogy Society will again sponsor a class for beginning level genealogy students. The first three classes will be taught by Eva Blanco of DePue, an experienced genealogist and teacher. Students will learn basic research skills, sources and organizational tips to become successful with this popular hobby.
BCGS volunteers will conduct the final session on the topic of Internet research and will cover such topics as Ancestry. com, digitized newspapers and much more. Membership in BCGS is not necessary nor is Bureau County heritage. The classes will be held at the BCGS library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton on the following Wednesday
evenings: Sept. 14, Sept. 21, Sept. 28 and Oct. 5. All classes will begin at 7 p.m. and conclude by 9 p.m. The class size will be limited to 12 students and pre-registration is necessary either by mail or in person. The cost of the class is $30 and will include all materials. For further information, call 815-879 -3133 or email bureaucounty@gmail. com.
