Restore it or let it go? By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN – In a split vote, the Putnam County Board has decided to have tests done on the courthouse building to determine the cost of repairing the tuckpointing of the structure. The testing phase will cost $21,850, but repairs have already been estimated near the $1 million mark. George Cary of Basalay, Cary and Alstadt, an architectural firm in Ottawa, explained some of the possible problems to the board.
“The mortar that has to be used on a restoration has to be softer than most of what is made today,” Cary said. “We have to find out exactly what that mortar was and try to simulate it. If you don’t, the mortar is harder than the brick, when the materials expand and contract with the heat and the cold, it’ll pop the facing off of the brick.” Cary said the bricks at the time were more porous than today’s brick, allowing more moisture into the brick and exacerbating the problem. The limestone used in
the construction will also probably need to be treated. The stone, mortar and bricks will all need to tested to determine where the problem lies. “Without doing some testing, a lot of this is speculation,” Cary said. “We need to find out what that mortar is made of and make sure that’s part of the problem.” If the bricks are all or part of the problem, Cary said they would have to be custom-made in order to conform to the brick in the rest of the building. “It will not be inexpensive,” Cary said.
While the cost of the project is likely to be high, board President Duane Calbow believes it’s necessary, since the courthouse is the oldest functioning in the state. “Personally, I think we’re stewards of the courthouse, and we owe it to the county to take care of it,” said Calbow. “It’s a historical landmark; something we have to take care of,” said Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer. “It seems like a large expense, but it’s something we’ll have for us and the future.” Board member Willie Holmes, the lone dissenter in the voting, disagrees.
“It’s like taking a Model A and putting a Cadillac body around it,” Holmes said. “You’ve still got the Model A on the inside. I worked here for 10 years, and it’s terrible inside. The electrical system is terrible. You can’t even tell where it goes anymore.” Sidney Whitaker, president of the Putnam County Historical Society, commended the board for trying to keep the courthouse viable. “You should be proud of the job you’re doing in preserving the courthouse,” Whitaker said. “We’re really invested in this courthouse
ourselves, and anything we can do to help, we will.” Holmes said the heating system is not sufficient, and the walls are too thick for an air system. He favors using the money and rebuilding but retaining the flavor of the current courthouse. In other action, the board: • Discussed the resignation of Marshall-Putnam County Engineer Edward Andrews. Andrews has taken another position, leaving the county currently without an engineer. • Appointed John Crist of McNabb to the Putnam County Conservation Board.
One-onone with Kinzinger By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE – U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger has been touring the 16th Congressional District to highlight the energy diversity of the district and to talk to local residents about their energy needs and concerns. On Aug. 16, Kinzinger was in Putnam County, and took some time out of his schedule to talk to the Putnam County Record. PCR: What brings you here today? Kinzinger: The last couple of weeks, I’ve been traveling around the whole district. The goal is to hit every county. I go on military duty on Sunday (Aug. 18) for two weeks, so the last couple of weeks have been pretty busy. We just visited Mennie Machine and saw all the great things going on. I’m visiting with some business leaders in the area. PCR: You’re with the Energy and Commerce Commission in Washington. Kinzinger: I think our economy is really seeing the energy revolution around the country. It’s very important to this district. Let’s talk about

Putnam County Schools hire final 2013-14 staff Replacements include Dave Garcia’s position By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE – The Putnam County School District Board met on Aug. 12 in an emergency session to hire final staff for the 2013-14 school year. Among the positions that were addressed
was the athletic director position for the district, recently vacated by Dave Garcia. Putnam County Superintendent Jay McCracken said the district wished Garcia nothing but the best. “With the recent resignation of Dave Garcia as the Putnam County athletic director and var-
sity baseball coach, Putnam County Principal Bob Peterson has devoted numerous hours to the hiring of his replacement. Putnam County administration congratulates Mr. Garcia on his new position as Parkland College baseball coach and recognizes his fine accomplishments dur-
ing his tenure in Putnam County. The position of varsity baseball coach has not been filled outside the district since 1978. There were more than 30 outstanding applicants for this position, and Putnam County is fortunate to have made an excellent selection among those fine applicants,” said McCracken. “Putnam County

Kinzinger From Page 1 the importance of energy diversity and what our district has going on, including ethanol, including hydropower nuclear. We have more nuclear power plants than any other district in the country. We have four, with eight reactors. That’s going to play a very important role in going forward. PCR: With all of the energy diversity, are we on the right track? Kinzinger: There’s a feeling that we’re going to replace fossil fuels. We can’t windmill our way to energy independence with all puppydog smiles somehow powering our cars. It’s not going to happen. It’s great to the point wind plays a role, how solar plays a role, let’s use it, but we can’t think that we’re going to penalize king coal or we’re going to penalize nuclear because of Fukishima. We can do that and not drill for oil? That’s unrealistic. We can’t put all of our eggs in the green basket. PCR: What’s the biggest problem facing the district? Kinzinger: Unemployment. By far.

Looking for the leak in McNabb By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
MCNABB – Leaks and sewer issues continue to have an impact on the village of McNabb, village works supervisor Robert Mekley said during the McNabb Village Board meeting Aug. 15. A water leak on Main Street has had some residents concerned, but Mekley has been backlogged with work. He said while it might seem large, it isn’t as large as believed, though it is a matter of concern. “Things keep coming up,” Mekley said. “This has got to be the worst year I’ve ever had trying to
get stuff done.” Mekley said once the leak is found, the repairs will have to be timed with the restaurants in town, since the water will have to be shut off and restaurants cannot be open without running water. He is making it a priority to get the work done. The village has also conducted a smoke test to look for sewer line cracks that might be causing some of the leak issues, but nothing conclusive was found. Mekley also reported a couple of sewer vents in town had been broken, which could allow debris and foreign objects to enter the system. Board
President Mike Vaske OK’d the repair of those vents at village expense. In other action, the board: • Discussed a solution regarding the steep ditches in the subdivision west of the tracks. Labor, pipes and fill-dirt to be used to fix the issue were estimated at just more than $10,000. The board decided to contact some local contractors for their own estimates. • Discussed the playground equipment in the park. Some pieces are showing wear and are becoming hazardous. Some of the equipment has been taken down, and
the board is considering and pricing replacements. • Reviewed progress of clean up of several local residences whose owners were warned they needed to be fixed up. Many of the problems noted last month have been addressed. • Received a report from Mekley concerning people who are severely delinquent in paying their water bills. The board gave Mekley permission to shut off anyone who had not paid by Aug. 19. • Discussed the payment of some of the bills in the monthly financial report regarding hours worked by employees and contracted individuals.
4,500 students served by HUSKY By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Picking up back-to-school supplies just got easier for about 4,500 area students thanks to an assistance program from the United Way of Illinois Valley. The Helping Underprivileged School Kids Year round (HUSKY) program provides school supplies to disadvantaged students from preschool to high school at the beginning of every school year. A total of 31 local schools, including the Putnam
County School District, participated this year, the most serviced by the local program, said Julie Sloan, executive director of the United Way of Illinois Valley. “Every school district that is in our service area is eligible,” said Sloan. “The students have to qualify for the free or reduced lunch program in order to participate.” Sloan said the program has been around for 13 years since United Way received a grant because of need in the community. Since then, the program
has been dependent on the generosity of the community, and so far that has been successful. Most of the program is funded by money and supply contributions from local residents and merchants. “We go to Northwest School in LaSalle, and we organize all of the supplies we have,” said Sloan. “Then we box them up for each school, and each school sends someone to pick them up and distribute them. “We cannot say enough about the community sup-

port we have received. It’s just phenomenal,” Sloan said. “We estimated that it takes about $50 per student in the program, which is close to $200,000 that we just don’t have; so we appreciate those resources and contributions.” The HUSKY program is separate from the United Way’s campaign drive, and there is always a need for more contributions, Sloan said. Individuals can still donate by dropping off supplies or money at United Way’s office at 103 Fifth St. in Peru.

Medical marijuana Assessing Illinois’ approval of medical marijuana By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
With the signing of HB1 by Gov. Pat Quinn on Aug. 1, Illinois became the 20th state in the nation to legalize medical marijuana. The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act is intended to protect patients with debilitating medical conditions, as well as their physicians and providers, from arrest and prosecution if the patients engage in the medicinal use of cannabis. The legislation will create a patient registry program which will list and protect qualifying patients and their registered designated caregivers from arrest or prosecution and will allow for the registration of cultivation centers and medical marijuana dispensing organizations. The
act goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014, and will impose a 7 percent tax on the sale of medical marijuana. As a pilot program, the current law will allow for the sale and consumption of medical marijuana for four years, from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 31, 2017. It will also allow only 22 growing facilities in the state. However, since regulations have yet to be addressed by the legislature in the handling of the matter, it could be fall of 2014 before any legalized pot reaches a patient’s hands. “From what I have heard, the drug will be actually issued by the state,” said Granville Police Chief Kevin Moore. “You’re not going to be able to go down to Walmart to pick it up. “This really won’t affect how we work,” Moore said. “Some people don’t realize, but you can be arrested for

medical records have to show proof of diagnosis of one of the qualifying conditions. Under the new law, patients would qualify for an Illinois medical marijuana card if they suffer from: Cancer, glaucoma, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), hepatitis C, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, chronic pancreatitis, a spinal cord injury or disease, a traumatic brain injury or one or more injuries that sig-
nificantly interferes with a patient’s daily activities. In order to qualify, patients must also have a prior history with the licensed physician prescribing the marijuana to keep possible fraud from occurring. Despite the new ruling, Illinois is still one of the harshest on marijuana users. Penalties are harsh, and the state has the fifth highest arrest rate in the country. A study by the American Civil Liberties Union found that there were nearly 50,000 marijuana arrests in Illinois in 2010.

There was time I’m not sure why it hit me so hard, but the other day as I was putting together Thursday’s newspaper, I was checking dates on the top of each page. Luckily, each page read Aug. 15, 2013, however, it didn’t set well with me. That’s right, my friends. Half of August is gone, kaput, absent, missing ... Where did it go? Why it wasn’t that many years ago when August seemed to go on forever — a steamy, hot friend who came and didn’t leave until school started after Labor Day. I loved him like one cherishes any free-spirited friend who challenges the norm and kicks caution Terri to the wind. August was the kid who Simon didn’t abide by any rules and sucked you into his whimsical ways and mischievous monkey business. August was the time when our adults pretty much left us alone. Perhaps it was because they were so sick of our antics they couldn’t muster the energy to keep us on the straight and narrow for one more day ... or maybe they just knew school was looming in the not-too-distant future and this was going to be our last hurrah. Either way, August was the culmination of our summer, and probably only because we wanted it to, the days drug on and on and on ... We loved it. We spent countless hours doing everything yet nothing. We played in the fresh water spring in the pasture and made the trek to Big Bureau Creek as often as we could. We laid in the grass and talked ... again about everything yet nothing. We sat on the porch. We rode our bikes on countless adventures. And we completely ignored the new school clothes, the new saddle shoes and the new school supplies, knowing these items were like the enemies that would ultimately fire the bullets that would kill our summertime bliss. We would spend an enormous amount of time planning our visit to the Bureau County Fair; daily, we counted the money we had saved. We spent hours trying to figure out how much money would be devoted to rides on the Ferris wheel, the tilt-a-whirl and the merry mixer, which each cost only 50 cents back then — long before armbands were even invented. We looked forward to the fair with all the gusto kids from the ‘60s could muster, and never once, did the academic equation of starting school ever enter into our plans. After all, August was for daydreaming, lollygagging, soaking up every bit of summertime fun with no thoughts of schedules, homework. School was as far away from our youthful minds as it could get, and we liked it that way. We lived in the moment and thought of nothing further than that moment. There was time ... plenty of it. But then somewhere along the line, some school board member somewhere in the world made the ugly decision to start school in August (probably some board member who never had the chance to study the clouds in an August sky, play in the murky waters of the local creek or ride his bike down a gravel road — destination, unknown). His fellow board members agreed, and the idea of starting school in August spread like a wildfire, ravaging every summer dream in its path. It was a spark — presumably fueled by adult thinking that focused on getting out of school earlier in the spring; the use of snow days; the lack of air conditioning in schools; and more. Though the excuses were as weak as a kid with a supposed stomach ache on the day of his math test, the motion was made, seconded and passed. School boards across the country jumped on that yellow school bus bandwagon, and now, we are left to wonder where August really went. The result? August has been interrupted, and I, for one, resent it. Today’s kids will never know the wonderful, lingering, hot and steamy, lolly-gagging days of August. But there’s no more time. I’m sorry, kids, for your loss ...

Who really needs a classy chassis? Each day at the newsroom, we receive a set of story ideas via email called the daily rundown. Some ideas are great; others not so much. On this particular morning, there was one that caught my eye. Down in Pensacola, Fla., there’s a young lady named Christina Andrews. Andrews spends a lot of her time along the local highway panhandling. She’s not homeless though; she’s trying to raise money for something else. She wants larger breasts. Andrews carries a sign that reads, “Not homeless, need boobs.” I’m not an expert mind you, but looking at the video of her interview I would say she has a slightly larger than normal breast size. So the question is why? She’s not alone, of course. Jocelyn Wildenstein may not be a name you remember, but if you’ve seen an image of plastic surgery gone wrong, you’ve seen her. Wildenstein has spent more than $4 million getting plastic surgery to look like a cat. She was extraordinarily attractive in her 20s; but today looks more like the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Ken Schroeder COMMENTARY According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 14.6 million surgeries for body modification were completed in the United States in 2012. That, of course, doesn’t take into account the people who have received multiple piercings or that have received extensive tattooing, even upon the face. Apparently, somewhere along the line, we’ve become unhappy with our bodies in some incredibly tragic way. We seem to attach a stigma to growing old also, since many of the movie stars from yesteryear (or even last year) have had facelifts, botox injections, collagen treatments, etc. (I don’t know whose face Joan Rivers is wearing, but it’s not hers). Many of them now look somewhat ridiculous. I understand some body image problems; I don’t know too many people who don’t have one or two things they don’t like about their body (I had a mole
removed from my face about 15 years ago, and I’m trying to lose another 40 pounds from my slightly opulent frame), but to the point of invasive surgery? I don’t get it. Although I didn’t look like it, two years ago I topped the scale at 325 pounds. I decided that I couldn’t keep that kind of weight, so I started dieting, changing aspects of my life. Result: 40 pounds go bye-bye. I could have gone with liposuction or bariatric surgery, but you don’t learn anything that way. It took 30 years of bad habits to get over the 300-pound mark. An overnight surgery doesn’t teach you new habits; it just shows you how to cheat. Our bodies are a roadmap — a celebration of who we are, what our ancestors looked like, and where we’ve been. It’s who we are, not who we think we should be. Keep your body. Enjoy it for what it is. Your parents gave it to you; do you really want Mom to know you didn’t like the gift?

TO Letter THE Editor
Hats off to St. Jude run To the Editor, I want to acknowledge the contributions of the Putnam County business community and surrounding areas, and also everyone that donated to the St. Jude LaSallePeru run over the last 28 years. I have been running for this wonderful
organization for more than 20 years. There are many good charities, and we have our own reasons for contributing to these. I feel St. Jude is especially helpful to our local residents because of the Peoria affiliate. Patients can receive follow up treatments in Peoria and not always travel to Memphis, Tenn.
The devastation of cancer is hard to deal with, especially in children, and St. Jude takes away the financial burden for families. This is exceptional. I also have a personal interest as I lost a son to leukemia in 1965. The LaSalle-Peru run is the longest continuous satellite run. Now there are 32.
A special thank you to Marquis Energy of Hennepin and Often Running of Normal for their donation which helped with the safety of our runners. Lou and Lori Guerrini of Spring Valley and Randy and Erica Pratt of Hennepin are the coordinators. Mary Jane Pratt McNabb

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 depart-
ment 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.

$3.4 million headed to local hospitals SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pat Quinn has announced $3.4 million in investments to hospitals in north central Illinois, part of $24.3 million in the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program to address the critical needs of downstate healthcare institutions. This announcement follows Quinn’s recent signing of a law that enacted the largest increase in health insurance coverage in state history, one of the governor’s 2013 legislative priorities.
“It is crucial that hospitals have the most up to date facilities and equipment to deal with the health care needs of Illinois residents,” Quinn said. “These grants will help area hospitals provide better service to their patients.” So far under Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program, private hospitals have received $150 million for critical health care needs.

PCHS girls’ golf starts strong By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Putnam County High School varsity girls’ golf coach Eric Cuicci has a problem. This problem is a good one. At the moment, he has 13 girls out for his varsity and junior varsity squads. Last year the team, in its second year of play, surprised everyone by placing second in their regional competition as a team, which allowed them to compete at sectionals. Returning Lady Panthers include seniors Stephanie Wilson, Carly Gonet, Monica Monroe, Tara Doyle and Nikki Mertel; junior Kelsey Grosenbach; sophomores Sara Moore, Laurie Bauer, Madison Zellmer and Katelyn Leitner; and freshmen Katie Cimei, Katy Goetsch and Hannah Hundley. Cuicci has a unique philosophy about how he works with the team. “We don’t practice together,” he said. “On one night, we will send the JV out to play and work with the varsity. Then the next night we will send the varsity out to play and work with the JV. We are one of the very few schools in the area with a full JV team.” In a regular high school golf meet, each team will send six players out to play against their opponent(s). The top four scores are tallied for the team score. A meet is nine holes of golf. “In Class 1A golf, the short game is probably the most important thing,” said Cuicci. “Putting and chipping is key to getting good scores. On the flip side of that, though, is that everyone likes to hit with their driver. It’s a lot of fun to hit that ball in the air down the fairway.” Cuicci noted girls have come out for the squad, never having picked up clubs before, while some have been around it all their lives. When girls come out for the team, they are responsible for supplying their own clubs, however, Cuicci has ways to help when that is a challenge. “This is Putnam County, and I have been approached by several people who have told me that if I ever need clubs for a girl, that I can let them know, and they will lend them their clubs for the season,” he said. Part of golf, however, is the mental game. Cuicci knows this is a tough issue for young golfers. “The girls need to understand that you always don’t have to always hit perfect shots on the golf course. Your better games come when you concentrate on hitting the fairway, hitting the green, not free putting. It can be intimidating when they get up against a better player, but it is just something that they need to develop a mindset that they need to play their own game,” he said. With the entire team coming back this year, the young program expects to thrive. The team will be hosting a regional competition on Oct. 8, which will give the squad a home course advantage. “These girls work at golf. I think sometimes people don’t perceive how much work they put into it. I’m impressed with the heart and effort that these girls put into it,” Cuicci said. “Our senior girls started this program, and I see them finishing it off really strong.”

Crossing the country with York PCHS junior talks about the challenges of cross country Editor’s Note: This is final story in a series.
By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcounytrecord.com
GRANVILLE – What makes students today make the choices they do in high school? Some choose clubs, some choose sports and some choose not to do anything in the extra-curricular activity area. Student-athletes at Putnam County High School break down into two categories: Those who like team sports and those who like to challenge themselves individually. These students all agree that whether in a team sport or an individual one, at least 50 percent of their game or contest is mental. The challenge of an individual to better themselves is nowhere more self-evident than in cross country. Putnam County High School has a cross country program for both boys and girls in the fall of each school year.
One returning athlete is junior Lindsy York. She participated in the Putnam County Junior High school track team but never really liked it much. “This is going to sound awful, but I hated track,” said York. “I hated sprinting, all of it. I wanted to run, and I love running, but I just couldn’t do the sprint.” When looking at different fall sports, York choose cross country her freshman year. “I didn’t even know what cross country was until I started high school,” she said. At first it was a struggle for her. But as she practiced she found she enjoyed herself. York has also learned that most cross country runners have more success in the fall if they practice in the summer too. “I have tried to practice this summer,” she said. “It just doesn’t always happen everyday. It’s like every other
day.” York has stuck with the cross country program even though her sophomore program was somewhat disappointing. She dropped time by about five minutes from her freshman time. “I really don’t know why. I’ve had several injuries since seventh grade,” she said. Another reason York picked cross country was the challenge to an athlete on an individual basis. “Its not a team sport, so it is me beating my own times. I can’t have anybody else yell at me for not doing well,” she said. “It’s less stress.” York thinks cross country has a mental component for successful runners. “If you don’t prepare yourself the night before you are going to get there and halfway through a race, you are going to think that you can’t do it,” she said. York sees cross country being a
vehicle that could possibly help her pay for college through an athletic scholarship. She has already gotten mail from colleges where she has filled the information out and marked cross country as her sport. York participated in a clinic held by the Starved Rock Runners Club. She said having other coaches watching her run has helped her gain perspective on her own abilities. “I kind of know what works for me. So if I go and I do three miles one day, I’m going to take a break and do sprints the next day or I’m going to do hills the next to equal it out.” For incoming freshmen that are looking for a challenge, York has words of wisdom to pass along. “If they asked me if it was hard, I’m not going to lie to them and tell them it’s not hard because it is. But I would be honest with them and tell them it’s hard, and it takes hard work, but that’s how every sport is,” she said.

FFA Alumni hold fundraiser auction
Blood drive draws life-saving donors PCHS Interact’s summer blood drive held Aug. 10 surpassed last year’s total and Red Cross’ expectation of 11 units, with a total of 18 units from 16 donors — two giving “double reds” which offer twice the life-saving potential. Four of the donors were students, including Interact Club President Amelia Lindstrom, who chaired the event. The Putnam County Rotary Club, Interact’s sponsor, co-hosted the blood drive and provided the canteen refreshments for donors
and staff, while Interact members handled checkin and escorted each of the donors from cot to canteen. Interact members also promoted the blood drive and helped Rotarians and Red Cross staff in loading and unloading supplies for the four-hour event in the PCHS commons. This marks the third year the Interact Club has sponsored the summer blood drive, bringing the total collected over those years to 52 units. Interact and PC Rotary join in thanking all who
volunteered at the blood drive, and all who rolled up their sleeves for the cause of saving lives. Red Cross indicates blood supplies are at a critical low, jeopardizing the ability of local hospitals to meet critical needs. Interact is a student organization providing members many opportunities throughout the year to perform community service and to participate in international service projects, while gaining leadership and teamwork experience.
