Andersen’s sentence: 60 years in prison Hearing held on second anniversary of the day murder victim Deborah Dewey disappeared BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — Two years to the day of Deborah Dewey’s disappearance, her family received the long-awaited justice for which they’d been waiting. Clifford A. “Skip” Andersen Jr. was sentenced Aug. 23 to 60 years in prison for the murder of Dewey, his sister-in-law. “And you will serve every day and every hour of it, as long as you are alive,” Judge Stephen A. Kouri told Andersen. Andersen, 68, of Standard, was also found Clifford guilty concealment Andersen Jr. of a homicidal death during his two-week trial in July. He received an additional concurrent sentence of five years in prison for that crime. Dewey, 62, of Ladd was reported missing Aug. 23, 2016. Her body was found Sept. 12, 2016, by Illinois State Police investigators at a house in Standard for which Andersen was caretaker and only blocks from his home. At the start of the sentencing hearing, defense attorney Drew Parker, of Peoria, entered a motion for a new trial based on several points, including spousal privilege. Prosecutor Bill Elward argued that all of Parker’s points had been litigated during the trial. Kouri denied the defense motion. Two of Dewey’s family members then read impact statements to the court. Dewey’s niece, Susie Marshall, read a statement saying that what Andersen had done was “unconscionable” and that his actions had not only caused the family to lose Dewey, but also another sister, Diane, Andersen’s wife. Dewey’s nephew, Roberto Guiliano, told Andersen he hoped his punishment was “lengthy and arduous.”

Clifford A. Andersen Jr. awaits the start of his sentencing hearing in Putnam County Court on Aug. 23. Andersen, 68, of Standard, was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the 2016 killing of his sister-in-law, Deborah Dewey, 62, of Ladd. The prosecution requested the maximum sentence, with Elward saying Andersen’s crime was “brutal and heinous” because Dewey had trusted and Deborah loved him. “Today, the bill comes Dewey due for your actions,” he said to Andersen. Parker told the court Dewey and Andersen had been like brother and sister. He then described Andersen as a good-natured and good-hearted father figure who was “a protector of the weak.” He then said the death of Andersen’s son years before, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder from his military experience, had been traumatic to his psyche. “Something happened to his brain,” Parker said. Kouri then offered Andersen his chance to make his allocution. Andersen then began to loudly and defiantly defend himself. “I’ve heard so much that’s not

real,” he said before arguing against family members and the accuracy of the video evidence, as well continuing into a rambling accusation against the truck-stop waitresses who testified about his behavior and gambling habits. “I don’t like bullies, and I would never hurt a woman,” he continued. He also said someone else had committed the murder and had buried her where she was found in order to make him “look bad.” Before announcing his sentence, Kouri commended both the defense and the prosecution for their efficient work together. He also praised the family for their quick action following Dewey’s disappearance, saying it was helpful in “solving a horrific crime.” He also praised the patience they displayed during the lengthy legal process. As he delivered the sentence, Kouri said at one time Andersen was a hero.

Village board pivots from streets to sewers Granville readies for recommended waste water plant changes BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com

be covered through the 10 percent contingency amount that was budgeted into the project and amounts to about $48,000. He said the project replaced 12,000 square feet of sidewalks, 1,700 linear feet of curb and gutter work, and 3,200 tons of asphalt.

Waste water treatment plant

GRANVILLE — The village of Granville has made the second of three payments toward the McCoy Street reconstruction project, and only minimal work remains. During the Aug. 21 village board meeting, Village Engineer Mike Richetta, of Chamlin & Associates, provided members with a positive report. “You’ve spent your money well with this project,” he said. Chamlin said the final amount for the project, even after its block-long expansion, would total $486,000. It was originally budgeted for $550,000. Following a previous payment of roughly $261,000, the board approved a second payment of approximately $176,000. Richetta said the remaining retaining wall work and some additional curb work and other items would

Richetta also began to prepare the village for what might be included in the upcoming report from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in regard to the testing of the village’s waste water treatment plant. The village is still working on finding the source of the water infiltrating the drainage system and elevating pollutant levels. The village of Mark was also tested by the EPA, and the two villages will likely be facing many of the same challenges. “It’s going to be best to wait and see what they recommend and follow their guidance, because you don’t want it to turn into a compliance issue with the EPA,” he said. Richetta then outlined some possible recommendations, including the construction of a retention pond to capture overflow during heavy

on the zoning requirements for pre-built buildings and their placement. “These buildings may not be taxed, but the setback requirements apply to these buildings, and they should be required to meet the zoning regulations, which are well-established rules,” he said. The village will be reminding property owners of these regulations through an announcement contained in an upcoming water bill.

In other board news

Village Attorney Brad Popurella reported to the board his findings

• Board member Shelby Osborne raised the issue and the board discussed lowering the speed limit in the village. • After board member Jeff Greathouse began the discussion, the village will be looking for bids to construct a sidewalk from the alley north of Tomlinson Street to Casey’s General Store to improve safety for pedestrians. “A lot of kids walk there before and after school,” Granville Police Chief Kevin Moore said. • Village garage sales will be held Sept. 21-22. Residents may contact the village hall for more information or to be added to the sale map.

during the trial, but now is the time for their consideration,” Kouri said while looking at Andersen. Following the issuance of the sentence, Parker announced a cousin of Andersen’s had been paying his

legal expenses, but was no longer able to do so. He then reported the withdrawal of his law firm’s services and referred Andersen to a public defender for his appeal.

Water treatment plant work Richetta reported the work at the village’s water treatment plant is still underway and that the plant would be periodically shut down during the first and second week of September. “When the tank is full, the village has enough water to allow for 16 to 18 hours of pipe-fitting work at a time,” he said.

New funding formula friendlier to PC District will get about $16,000 more this year than before BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — During the Putnam County School Board meeting on Aug. 20, Superintendent Carl Carlson presented an overview of the district’s tentative budget for the next fiscal year, as well as discussing the changes created by the state’s new educational funding formula. Carlson reported the district had received its first funding payment of the year, although the district is still owed mandated funding from last year. “Our first payment was just over $40,300, and these payments are scheduled to be delivered on the 7th and 20th each month,” he said. He also said the base funding minimum is expected to increase each year. Based on the state’s new Adequacy Target formula, which takes into account how much revenue a school district receives through

community raised funding, Putnam County received roughly $12,000 more last year than what was provided through the previous General State Aid payments. Carl Carlson “This year our disPutnam trict will receive just County School over $16,000 more. This superintendent is lower than some surrounding districts because we’re so close to their 90 percent target,” Carlson said. The target is determined by a formula calculating the local funding capacity of each district. Putnam County is at 89 percent. He added since Putnam County receives money through Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax funding, the district hasn’t been as reliant on state aid as some other districts. “Whenever funds that are projected to be received don’t follow, it’s catastrophic for any district trying to evaluate their financial position,” he said. The state still owes the district more than $209,000 from last year, including more than $141,000 for

transportation expenses and almost $40,000 for early childhood education.

Replacement tax update Carlson reported the funds provided through the Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax were estimated to be 7 percent less than last year. The district received about $2.9 million in replacement tax funding for Fiscal Year 2017. In Fiscal Year 2018, the district anticipated $2.2 million and received $2.4 million. For Fiscal Year 2019, the district is again anticipating $2.2 million.

New budget The board approved the tentative budget for the next fiscal year, and it will be adopted in September during a budget hearing at 6 p.m. Sept. 17. Anticipated expenditures for Fiscal Year 2019 are $12.8 million, higher than the $12.7 million anticipated during the previous year, but lower than the nearly $13 million budgeted in Fiscal Year 2017. Actual expenses during Fiscal Year 2017 were $11.3 million. Actual expenditures for the following fiscal year were $10.7 million.

The anticipated revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is $11.1 million, which is roughly the same as the two previous years. The actual revenues received by Putnam County during the fiscal years of 2017 and 2018 were $11.3 million.

In other board news • The district has 859 students registered this year. There are 17 more students at the junior high school than last year and 22 fewer at the high school. Carlson said the district graduated a large class of 85 students last year and registered 45 kindergarten students this year, saying it was part of the natural ebb and flow regarding class sizes from year to year. • Carlson also said the district is in the first year of its 3-year bus contract with Johannes, and that routes will continue to be evaluated for efficiency. • The board approved the Illinois High School Association’s Catastrophic Insurance coverage. The $1,024 annual policy is mandatory and provides $3 million worth of coverage. • The next school board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 17.


Burnham was correct; bigger plans to fix state’s woes are needed

I

llinois could sure use a couple of big thinkers and doers like Daniel Burnham and William Stratton. Based on what I see of political TV ads, we may have to wait another 4 years. But we can dream, can’t we? Architect and city planner, Burnham was the driving force behind the creation of the fabulous “white city” that was the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, which put Chicago prominently on the world map. Overcoming earlier false starts by others, a national economic panic, and almost impossibly tight deadlines, Burnham triumphed. The fair drew 27 million people to Chicago (the Illinois State Fair each year draws maybe half a million). In 1906, Burnham went on to develop his namesake plan for Chicago – the glistening public lakefront, extensive park system and wide boulevards that symbolize the city

COMMENTARY Jim Nowlan

today. He became famous for the line: “Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood.” In 1952 at age 39, Republican William G. Stratton was elected governor of Illinois. Over two terms, the slight-of-build state chief executive with the squeaky voice transformed the Prairie State. At great political cost to his career, in 1955 Stratton reapportioned the state for the first time since 1901 (ahead of the one man-one vote U.S. Supreme Court decision of 1962). He gave more House seats to the under-represented suburbs at the expense of Downstate. Stratton created tollways, cleared the way for Chicago expressways, sold bonds to build universities and mental health facilities, and initiated judicial reform. He even spoke out against segregation and for civil rights, long before those positions took hold nationally. All this cost him politically, as

he knew it would, and he lost his bid for a third term. It was more important to Bill Stratton to think and do big things. We don’t think big today in Illinois. Indeed, we seem to avoid big problems, to wit: • Public higher education is a shambles. Several century-old public campuses appear to be dying. • The state hasn’t since 2010 had a major investment plan for our rich but crumbling transportation infrastructure. • Illinois can’t take care of its children, and when we try to send them to other states for care, the kids are rejected because of worry of when our state might pay their state. • Our state revenue system is antiquated, too reliant on property taxes and characterized by narrow-base state sales and income taxes. • The gargantuan public employee pension funding shortfall at the state and local levels, decades in the making, is overwhelming the state fisc and badly needs fresh thinking. What to do? This one is tough. I think the last, best hope may lie in the Edgar Fellows Program, which I have written about in this

space. For 7 years, former Gov. Jim Edgar has annually been gathering a new crop of 40 youngish political, civic and business leaders from across the state for an intensive week of seminars and policy discussions at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The Fellows learn that those of different geographic and political backgrounds have similar aspirations for our state. They hear from national leaders like former U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar and state experts about how to approach big problems. And they stay in contact after the week-long retreat is over. I have recently mentioned positively state senators Andy Manar (D) and Jason Barickman (R). They are both Edgar alums. They and other Edgar Fellows should – and will – run for top offices. Maybe whole classes of Edgar Fellows will collaborate to offer big thinking and big leadership on major problems. We should all be admonished to make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood.

It was a big day for Illinois, way back in 1818 If you said Aug. 26 was Constitution Day, you would be right

O

n Sunday, Aug. 26, the Illinois Bicentennial Commission sponsored special events throughout the state to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Illinois’ first constitution. Motorcycle enthusiasts, for instance, were scheduled to travel along historic Route 66 through Pontiac, Lexington and Lincoln, before arriving in Springfield for the dedication of the new Illinois Bicentennial Plaza. While considering Constitution Day, don’t forget to reflect on Illinois’ own journey. Two hundred years ago, 33 delegates stood shoulder-to-shoulder

COMMENTARY Samuel Wheeler

with a cheering crowd in Kaskaskia, Illinois. The flag of the United States flew in the late summer breeze, as militia officers readied a cannon and fired a 20-gun salute, paused for a moment, then fired one more in recognition of the soon-tobe 21st state of Illinois. Illinois did not officially become a state when the delegates signed the first constitution, but it reached an important milestone on its path toward statehood. The road to the first constitution was not always smooth. The delegates did not leave us a detailed transcript of their work, nor do we even know which of them voted for

or against certain measures. We do know, however, that contentious deliberations took place, such as the ultimately unsuccessful proposal to ban clergymen from serving as legislators because “ministers of the gospel are by their professions, dedicated to God and the care of souls, and ought not to be diverted from the great duties of their functions.” Remarkably, the delegates finished their work in just 23 days, establishing a framework for state government that predictably called for three branches of government and extended the franchise as liberally as possible in the early 19th century, declaring all white male inhabitants (citizens or not) above the age of 21, who lived in the state for 6 months prior to the election, eligible to vote. The most controversial topic to emerge during the convention dealt with the issue of slavery. The

French brought slaves into the Illinois country in the 17th century, and indentured servitude (really just slavery by another name) existed throughout the territorial phase. The state’s first constitution ultimately included a series of compromises over slavery. History is often measured in terms of progress, and Illinois history is certainly no exception. The Constitution of 1818 remained the law of the land in Illinois for just 30 years. Increases in population, technology and the economy led citizens “Born, Built, and Grown” in Illinois to form new constitutions in 1848, 1870, and 1970. In many ways, these constitutions serve as mile markers on Illinois’s road toward greater freedom and equality.

LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 is conducting roadside safety checks during August. The use of roadside safety checks combine a strong sense of public awareness and enforcement in order to save lives of the motoring public. The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois. Officers working the detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, and most important: • Driving under the influence (DUI). • Safety belt and child restraint use. • Speeding. • Distracted driving. • All Illinois vehicle code and criminal violations. Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois and throughout the U.S. Nearly 10,000

people die each year due to alcohol-impaired driving. Roadside safety checks are designed to keep roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road. This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Support group changes meeting to Aug. 30 peru — The Compassionate Friends support group has changed the date of its August meeting from Aug. 23 to Thursday, Aug. 30.

HENRY HENRY — A Community Service Award was presented to the Perdew Museum Association by the Chief Senachwine Chapter NSDAR on Aug. 19 at the museum located at 914 Front St. in Henry. The award recognizes the group for their work, time, energy and giving to the community of Henry in restoring the Charles and Edna Perdew workshop and creating the museum there. Charles Perdew (1884-1963) is a world-famous wooden decoy carver and wildfowl sculptor whose decoys are among the most desired and collected from those known as the Illinois River carvers. His decoys were purchased by numberless hunters and used to attract ducks and other wildfowl within range. The business was a family affair. Wife Edna (1882-1974) painted the carved birds, which added to the acclaim of Perdew decoys. Honored with a framed certificate were Pat Selquist, board president; Rick Porch, vice president; Sandy Ziegler, treasurer; Joyce Wood, secretary; and directors Jim Cummins, Richard Crawley and Graham Smith. A community service lapel pin was given to Selquist. The award presenter was Nancy Gillfillan, Chief Sen-

HENRY

HENRY — The opening meeting of the Chief Senachwine Chapter NSDAR will be held on Friday, Sept. 7, when the members will celebrate their name connection to Potawatomie Chief Senachwine, whose village existed north of Putnam in early Illinois settlement times. Members have been invited by the Wheeler family to visit Chief Senachwine’s grave site on their private property to lay a wreath and enjoy a ceremony commemorating Chief Senachwine Day, proclaimed by Henry City Council with a proclamation signed by Mayor Doug Wilson. The ceremonies are set to begin at 12:30 p.m. The hilltop activities are not handicapped accessible, and comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Parking is limited, so members are asked to carpool from the rear parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church, 511 Wirt St. in Henry. Also joining in the ceremony is the Capt. Zeally Moss Chapter, Peoria, of the SAR, Sons of the American Revolution. Wearing uniforms of the Revolutionary War time period, the SAR Honor Guard will present the colors and provide a musket volley. The local SAR chapter marked the grave with a plaque on June 13, 1937. Wives of SAR members plan to

appear in colonial dress. Following the hilltop commemoration, members and invited guests will return to the First Presbyterian Church in Henry for refreshments and a program by Jay McCracken, local expert on Chief Senachwine. The first business meeting of the 2018-19 Chief Senachwine Chapter year will be conducted following the program. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 177,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. DAR members are committed to volunteer service, having served more than 12.5 million hours in communities throughout the world during the past three years.

Bart Kassabaum poses below the Putnam County Panther mural that he originally created in 1981 and restored during the summer.

LUNCH Daily 11am-1pm

rior to the start of the new school year at Putnam County High School, Princeton artist Bart Kassabaum restored the gymnasium’s mural of the team’s mascot that he originally painted in 1981. PCHS Principal Clayton Theisinger said it was badly deteriorated and that a recent graduate who was working at the school over the summer recognized the artist’s name at the bottom of the mural. After Kassabaum was contacted, the artist spent about four days restoring the work with acrylics. Kassabaum also restored the panther mural above the bleachers (below, right), as well, although the original artist for that mural is unknown. “These murals have become a part of the school’s history, and it’s important we honor that for our current students,” Theisinger said.

ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

New law helps counties better address water issues Bureau, Putnam counties could now choose to create storm water commissions SPRINGFIELD — All counties in Illinois will be able to establish storm water commissions that can adopt plans and ordinances under legislation sponsored by state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner Aug. 10.

“Very few counties in the state have this ability right now,” Rezin said. “For our district, we need better tools to address flooding issues and stor m water mitiga- State Sen. tion. This new law Sue Rezin will help.” R-Morris For example, in the 38th District 38th Senate District, Bureau, Putnam and Livingston counties currently do

not have a county stor m water commission. Under this law, they could vote to have a commission. In a recent report, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources found that more than 92 percent of flood damage claims they reviewed were outside of any floodplain. County floodwater commissions manage their local jurisdictions by helping them reduce flood losses and damages through best practices, mitigation projects, and effective storm water regulations. They

also help in restoring and upgrading drainage areas. “This legislation was due in large part to our local Illinois Valley Flood Resiliency Alliance,” Rezin said. “We saw how other county storm water commissions, especially through establishing local laws, can play a pivotal role during a flood event by helping reduce flood losses.” The new law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2019.
