The evolution of discipline School procedures adapt to digital age in combatting cyberbullying

By Dave Cook

GRANVILLE/LOSTANT — Effective Sept. 15, Senate Bill 100 (SB100) will bring changes to how schools handle students facing disciplinary measures.

One of the most significant changes is the elimination of zero tolerance policies; administrators will now have to provide additional means of intervention, support and counselling before a student is suspended or expelled.

The rationale of this new legislation is the students often being removed from schools for behavioral issues are those who need the structure and discipline school provides the most. Therefore, schools should

make every effort to help troubled students change their conduct while allowing them to continue their education.

Bullying, and it’s millennial counterpart — cyberbullying, continues to be a concern. Putnam County (PC) Superintendent Carl Carlson discussed how students are being taught the responsibilities of social media and the changes involved with SB100.

“SB 100 will change a few procedures; the biggest piece will be restorative corrective measures. PC has done a lot in the way of providing information, training and problem solving to meet student needs over the years,” Carlson said.

Serendipity

Expanding the financial field EDCNCI has a new leader

tor, Cpl. Levi Long of Company K in the 148th Illinois Infantry, was buried in Perkins Cemetery, just a few miles down the road from Bureau Junction.

“For all these things to occur at the same time, it’s serendipity,” McGuire said.

Ivan Baker thinks of economic development like a garden with a limited amount of time to sell your produce before it dies.

Baker is the recently hired chief executive officer Ivan Baker of the Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois; a newly-found organization marketing the valuable resources of Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties to the right investors outside the tri-county area. In economic development, Baker said we cannot think about ourselves but about our children and grandchildren.

“The leadership here is optimistic about being realistic and achieving goals, and we’re trying to create more investment, expand the tax base and create more jobs,” he said. “More people would stay in the area if there were better jobs and an opportunity to raise a family.”

BUREAU JUNCTION — James McGuire, commander of the Rhode Island Department of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), traveled a long way to search a hot, humid and heavily-wooded hilltop containing an

abandoned cemetery. His search was successful, and he finally made a tangible connection to his Civil War ancestor, along with many others in his family tree.

McGuire became a commander in the SUVCW this year, the same year its national encampment was being held in Springfield. This is also the year he learned his ances-

Arriving in the area, McGuire received help from the Bureau County Genealogical Society (BCGS) and located Long’s name on Princeton’s Soldiers and Sailors monument. He was also able to see a photo of Long in the Bureau County Historical Society Museum.

He then visited a cousin he’d never met in Kewanee and met his great-grandmother’s niece in Annawan as well. He said she looked very much like his grandmother.

“For so long these towns and family members existed only in my imagination — Annawan, Kewanee, Putnam, Princeton, and now I’ve been to these places and have even seen some of their faces,” McGuire said.

The BCGS helped him contact property owner Conrad Swenson, who met him near the cemetery, guiding him in the right direction for the steep climb up the rugged, mosquito-filled hillside.

McGuire spoke of his first impression of the cemetery.

“I arrived with the expectation it was going to be overgrown, vandalized and ravaged, and damaged by time ...

I wasn’t disappointed. I was surprised though at how much it’s deteriorated since the photos I saw from about 15 years ago. I don’t understand people who would come to a place like this and damage graves. Nature has done a fine job on its own ripping this cemetery apart; it didn’t need any help,” he said.

McGuire did some raking, trimming and moving of fallen trees in his attempt to identify the final resting places of his family members, but he

was mindful of the fading condition of the area. He pointed to a burnt tree stump as a sign someone had once used fire to clear the growth.

“It’s not a good idea to burn in an old cemetery; the stones are so fragile they’ll crack and break.

This place is pretty much a disaster; I had to divorce myself from the emotion that my historical family cemetery was lost, but I had to try and clean up a little,” he said.

McGuire said every single one of the people laid to rest there was a relative.

His great-grandmother was Minnie Perkins, and her father was John Wallace Perkins. There’s also Mary Ann and Jeffery Perkins, Rachel Whitmore and Mary and Elizabeth Long.

McGuire began doing his genealogical research about 12 years ago.

“It all started with a little blue notebook I found in Grandma Minnie’s old stuff,” he said.

McGuire also made some discoveries which will continue to fuel his ongoing research.

“I don’t recognize John Drake, and there’s also Gershom J. Palmer, 11, so I have to figure out how they’re connected. You do learn things by coming to places like this,” he said.

Along with the grave of Cpl. Long, McGuire also found and placed a flag on the grave of another Civil War veteran, Long’s nephew, Samuel C. Haynes.

He said, “I also found George Cottrell, a Civil War veteran of Company B in the 108th Illinois Infantry. Part of what we do as the Sons (SUVCW) is find where veterans are buried and put them in our database. We want to say we’ve located as many Union soldiers as possible. George isn’t there, so I’ve found a Civil War veteran to register, and I’ll be reporting it at the national encampment.”

Enveloped by trees, this is one of the larger monuments in the old cemetery. The area has been consumed by nature to the point where it’s conceivable that someone could walk through it without realizing they’re passing through a Civil War-era cemetery.

According to the Bureau County Genealogical Society, Perkins Cemetery was established in 1843.

McGuire was able to leave something tying him and his family of long ago to their Rhode Island roots. He placed a marker for Rhode Island veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic at Long’s grave.

The markers were manufactured in Rhode Island in the late 1800s by the Jenks Foundry.

“At some point this was taken from a cemetery, which is clearly illegal and disrespectful. We find them at flea markets, antique stores and on eBay. My friend reclaimed this from a flea market, and after hearing what I was doing, asked if I wanted a Jenks marker to give to Levi Long. I restored it to bring here and place on his grave,” he said.

McGuire amazingly found another Rhode Island connection among the dirt and growth.

“This is a Quahog clam shell, native to Rhode

One of the Quahog clam shells found by McGuire, who said placing the shells on family member’s graves is an old Rhode Island tradition.

Island. It’s tradition where I’m from to place these shells on our family’s graves.” McGuire said, while holding up a large white clam shell in remarkably good condition.

McGuire contemplated the future of the cemetery when he said, “I’m almost

resigned to ... this is it. I’d like to imagine this being restored, but there’s also something poetic about it going back to nature ... in an ashes to ashes, we all return to dust kind of way.

Now there’s the question of how many more people will ever set foot in here again. Me? I’ll be back.”

Financial From Page 1 Baker grew up in a small town in western Kansas, so he is aware of the advantages and challenges of promoting a rural community. He believes gaining ground in the global economy is simply a matter utilizing what he calls the most valuable resource … good people.

“I’m amazed when people talk about the advantages of an area for business, and they’ll talk about everything except the people,” Baker said, stating residents manage, work at and buy from the businesses they’ve built.

“When people don’t show pride in their homes and businesses, why would anyone else show pride in that community?”

Throughout his 35-year career, Baker feels good about the $2.5 billion of capital investments he’s been involved with, but he recognizes it takes great effort from many hard workers to keep the value of investments increasing.

“People have to be positive about the future because it will generate positive actions,” he said, adding his time as a Scout leader taught him basic principles such as trustworthiness, loyalty and kindness. “If I don’t have the facts, I will find them, and if I tell someone something, it’s because I’ve verified it as the truth ... They can rely on me as an ally.”

Baker said Illinois is a great state to be a part of, but we

still must have some financial sense about us. He added the tri-county region has a good workforce and people who love the area, but it’s very easy for human beings to dwell on the negative.

“I can’t do that, and I wasn’t hired to do that,” he said, noting he accepts the current financial state of Illinois so he can work to improve it, rather than lamenting on problems from year’s past. “I’m so excited about our board because they are proactive and know things will take time.”

Baker has played the piano since he was 4; he has been involved in theater; and he and his wife enjoy dancing … because he believes when you step back and be creative, you get the juices flowing rather than looking at one number at a time.

“In economics you’ve got to cooperate, compete, communicate, be concerned about your people and be creative.

Many people have not been encouraged to be creative — do this one way, stay in line — and once you unleash a person’s creativity, you find they can be a better professional because they think so much more outside the box.”

Baker said you can find people all across the tri-county area who care about being heard, and it’s his job to coordinate the conversation.

“When you’re in a small town you may not have the ability to get the word out there, but by joining resources, you now have the ability to stand out,” he said. “We’re going to stand out; we have to for the sake of our people.”

First human case of West Nile reported OTTAWA — LaSalle County Health Department has confirmed its first human case of West Nile virus this year. A resident in their 70s tested positive for West Nile virus in mid-August. Human West Nile virus cases were previously reported in LaSalle County in 2014 (1), 2013 (1), 2007 (2), 2006 (1), 2005 (1), 2004 (5), 2003 (1), 2002 (11) during the late summer and early fall months. In addition, five crows have also tested positive for the virus throughout the county this year.

According to Chris Pozzi, director of environmental health, “This is the time of year we expect to see the potential for human cases

increase. Even as we move into the fall months with fluctuating temperatures, it is important to protect yourself against mosquito bites and possible West Nile virus infection. The best way to protect yourself against illness is to wear insect repellent and to get rid of any stagnant water around your home to reduce the number of mosquitoes.”

West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of a Culex pipiens mosquito, commonly called a house mosquito, which has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Common West Nile virus symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symp-

Majestic Donuts, Pastries opens in Princeton

By Lyle Ganther

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

PRINCETON — Majestic Donuts and Pastries opened in Princeton the end of July. A grand opening is planned in the near future.

Manager Larry Werdeniuk previously ran Nuts 4 Donuts on North Main Street in Princeton for two years.

“We are Princeton’s best kept secret,” said Werdeniuk.

Sergio and Martha Sanchez and his sister and husband, Imelda and Jose Alfaro, are the owners of Majestic Donuts and Pastries, now with a location in Princeton and Peru. The Peru store opened for business in March 2014.

“We have the same quality of items here as over there,” Sanchez said. “We make them over there, and Larry decorates them here.”

Cyberbullying From Page 1 Lostant Superintendent Dr. Sandra Malahy said, “Positive behavior expectations will be taught weekly by all teachers, and we have a social skills curriculum appropriate for each grade level.”

Since the digital world crosses all boundaries, the superintendents discussed the issue of monitoring social media for evidence of cyberbullying.

“At this time, the school does not monitor social

“We steadily built up a good Princeton client base at the Peru location,” said Sergio. “We met with Bob Walters of Princeton, a steady customer, who one day asked us to come to Princeton.”

Walters knew Werdeniuk and said he had a friend who used to run a donut store in Princeton.

“We met in November 2015, and I told them if still interested to call me after the holidays,” recalled Sergio. “After meeting earlier this year, we decided to go ahead.

Larry found this location in April and took three to four weeks to clean and paint the interior of the place with the assistance of Allison Wilkinson.”

After the grand opening, the shop will be open Tuesdays through Sundays from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be closed on Mondays.

“We sincerely appreciate the open arms we have received since opening and have been very successful,” said Sanchez.

media sites. Comparative to other school districts, I am not sure if PC has more or less issues regarding social media. The administrative team does closely follow up if issues are reported that could be threatening in nature or if student safety is at risk. Unfortunately, a large majority of the social media issues dealt with at school is students not respecting other students by sending inappropriate comments/pictures that can turn into drama. As stated, PC does a great deal to teach students appropriate behavior regarding

social media,” Carlson said.

Lostant Elementary also doesn’t monitor social media and hasn’t received any complaints of cyberbullying.

“Students are not allowed to use social media at Lostant School.

The school computers and iPads are only used for educational purposes. We support parents to monitor and teach their children how to interact appropriately online,” Malahy said.

dent behavior off school time should not interrupt the school day, and therefore, the school does not have to take serious measures when parents manage their children,” Malahy said.

Carlson said, “It comes down to choices people make and making sure they understand what their actions can do to others. It’s very helpful to have parents that closely monitor the usage of the phones as well. Hopefully the message at home is the same message we share at school, and that is to make sure and be responsible.”

This past quarter, Google challenged its partners to increase the number of mobile friendly client websites to their AdWords client management account within the

quarter. All Web was one of the Top 10 Google partners in the United States and Canada for the contest and were jetted to Google headquarters to meet with representatives and record marketing videos in the Google studios.

They had the opportunity to discuss All Web’s approaches to digital marketing and learn how Google can best assist them in promoting the company’s clients. It was a rare opportunity to directly get information from the search giant.

“It was great to get the information straight from the source,” marketing account manager Doneida Larsen said. “These are people that we are still in contact with and work with us on a regular basis.”

In addition to meeting with members of the Google account strategy and partner teams, they had the opportunity to create professional quality videos at the Google Hangout Studios.

The videos, which are available to view on YouTube, go over the company’s recent promotion to Premiere Google Partner and its numerous services including web design, pay-per-click advertising, social media management, search engine optimization and email marketing.

day as a staff physician for a Chicago urgent care clinic.

Valdez joins Kara Fess, MD, as a second family practice physician at the Hygienic.

To make room for an expected increase in patient volume now that another doctor has been added to its staff, the Hygienic Institute recently finished a remodeling project that involved

moving into the vacant space in its building that had formerly been occupied by the local Veterans’ Administration clinic.

The work included almost doubling the size of the reception area in the front of the building and reconfiguring the rest of the clinic’s interior to provide space for 11 exam rooms.

Hygienic Institute is located at 2970 Chartres St. in LaSalle.

The bell has rung In this job, I get to visit a lot of schools. I like that.

The sights, sounds and smells of our institutions of education in this area tend to take me back in time, ... a lot of time, when this old girl was a student and typing columns on a computer at a newspaper wasn’t Terri even in the cards.

Simon They were days of innocence — times COMMENTARY when the worries of the world never crossed our minds, and the biggest problems were in our math books.

They were moments filled with best friends and laughter, shy looks at the cute boy across the room, and playground games where I don’t remember winners or losers.

To say I received a great education in Princeton would clearly be an understatement. I knew the As I brought home had been earned, and the adults in those hallways really cared about helping me learn.

I was really fortunate because school, as they say, ... came easy for me, ... but my teachers continued to give me work they knew would challenge me.

Every now and then when I’m inside an area school, I take a few moments and close my eyes, ... and the memories flood my mind. They still cause a host of heartfelt emotions. While we all have a few memories from our school days that still cause us to wince, the happy recollections clearly outweigh anything negative.

I think it’s ironic today’s schools specialize in being progressive, however, there are some basic things in those same classrooms and hallways that haven’t changed a bit. While the lessons today are different — keyboarding, technology, computers, etc. — what I’ve been fortunate to witness in the schools I visit are many things that have stood the test of time.

You see, when I first walk in a school today, the first thing that hits me is the smell. A mixture of sweaty kids, teachers’ perfume, the hot lunch coming from the school cafeteria are the first things I notice. In the classrooms, a mixture of scents take me back many years, like the unmistakable smells of Elmer’s Glue and Crayola Crayons, freshly-sharpened pencils with worn-down erasers, and textbooks that own that unforgettable scent of many years of use.

With my eyes still closed, the sounds I hear are no different than when I was in school. Teachers’ voices echo into the hallways. I hear children laughing, singing, talking. The school bells haven’t changed a bit. On the playground, ... oh, the wonderful playground, ... recess is in full swing, and the shouts and squeals take me back to a time when the biggest worry was if you got one of the swings at recess and how many kids were playing on the monkey bars.

Even though much has changed, the sights I see inside the school are reminiscent of days gone by.

Students’ artwork hanging in the hallways, inspirational messages crafted on bulletin boards, classrooms decorated in the brightest colors — fun items that you didn’t even realize were educational. The desks are arranged in a variety of rows and/or circles, and the lockers are lined up like metal soldiers with names clearly marked on many of them. While children and teachers dress more casually than when I was in school, their eyes tell the story better than I can on this newspaper page.

I guess my point to all of this is I’m glad our schools/administration/teachers are progressive, however, I’m thankful there are still many elements in our local schools that have stood the test of time.

Some of those things are small and probably relatively unimportant, however, those little things have a way of staying with us for a lifetime, ... just like a good education.

As those first school bells ring in Putnam County, I wish all of you a great school year. While finances are always an issue for schools, I have no doubt the hallways of education in this area are some of the best in the nation, and we should be proud of our traditional yet progressive attributes inside those facilities.

What We Think

Victory came 1 vote short; don’t give up on redistricting One vote is all that stood in the way of the Independent Map Amendment being approved by the Illinois Supreme Court for placement on the Nov. 8 ballot.

On a party-line ruling Aug. 25, the four Democratic Supreme Court justices struck down the proposed redistricting reform amendment, while the three Republican Supreme Court justices favored allowing it to go before the voters.

The Supreme Court, by its 4-3 vote, sided with a Cook County judge who had ruled the proposed constitutional amendment unconstitutional.

Thus, the second attempt in 2 years to reform a secretive redistricting process, controlled by politicians with little public involvement, which is unfair to minorities, skews election results, stifles competition, and thwarts the will of the people, has failed.

We disagreed with Cook County Judge Diane Larsen’s ruling in July.

We disagree with the Illinois Supreme Court’s ruling from last month.

Justice Thomas Kilbride, writing an opinion for the majority, centered the court’s argument on an extremely narrow interpretation of the citizen initiative portion of the Illinois Constitution.

By amending the legislative article (Article IV) through citizen initiative, Kilbride wrote, the proposed Independent Map Amendment would unconstitutionally add responsibilities to the auditor general’s office, which are set forth in Article VIII and mentioned nowhere else. (The proposal would have required the auditor general to take applications for the citizens commission and propose qualified nominees for the group.)

Because citizen initiatives are limited to make changes only to Article IV, the proposed amendment exceeds the scope of what is allowed to be amended through that process, Kilbride wrote.

“We conclude that the duties assigned to the Auditor General by the ballot initiative at issue in this case do not comport with the strict limitations in article XIV, Section 3 [Constitutional Initiative for Legislative Article],” Kilbride wrote.

In a thorough, thoughtful and

More than 563,000 Illinoisans who signed petitions supporting the Independent Map Amendment have every right to suspect that the institutions of government, run by self-serving politicians, or those beholden to them, want to stifle the public’s input. forceful dissent, Justice Lloyd Karmeier provided an opposing view.

Karmeier pointed out the current redistricting system, described in the legislative article, involves officers from all three branches of government – not just the Legislature.

In arguing that the auditor general’s role in the proposed amendment’s process was constitutional, he wrote: “Nothing in the 1970 Constitution requires that all of a constitutional officer’s responsibilities be set out in a single article, and such is certainly not the case with respect to the redistricting-related duties of this court and the Attorney General under the current redistricting mechanism.”

Point by point, over nearly 40 pages, citing the state constitution, previous cases, and statements by delegates to the 1970 Constitutional Convention, Karmeier argued it was his opinion the Independent Map Amendment indeed passed constitutional muster and should have been allowed on the ballot.

Karmeier said the majority’s interpretation in this case would basically make ballot initiatives “pointless.”

“There can be no serious dispute that the drafters and adopters of article XIV, section 3, intended for that provision to allow citizens to actually accomplish something through ballot initiatives. Plaintiff’s reading of the law, however, would allow them to accomplish nothing.”

Karmeier further wrote, “If we do not permit this ballot initiative to go forward in accordance with the law, our authority over the redistricting process and, indeed, our status as an institution, will forever be suspect.”

He’s got that right.

More than 563,000 Illinoisans who signed petitions supporting the Independent Map Amendment have every right to suspect that the institutions of government, run by

self-serving politicians, or those beholden to them, want to stifle the public’s input.

Indeed, the proposed 11-member citizen redistricting commission would have been required to be open and transparent, while removing politics and incumbency from consideration when new legislative districts are drawn every 10 years.

The current redistricting process, for 3 of the past 4 decades, was controlled by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, who used it to promote his personal political agenda (Democratic supermajorities in the House and Senate), not the interests of the public.

The latest result of Madigan’s maps will be seen by voters in the Nov. 8 election, where in election after legislative election across the state, there are no competitive races.

Dennis FitzSimons, chair of Independent Maps, said the court’s ruling was “extremely disappointing” and that drafters of the Illinois Constitution “would not recognize the interpretation” made by the Supreme Court.

So, what’s next?

FitzSimons said a rehearing of the case might be sought.

If not, redistricting reform is officially dead for 2016.

The good news is that this effort very nearly made it across the finish line.

With elections in 2018 and 2020 ahead before the next redistricting cycle, a revised redistricting reform amendment might yet be possible.

Justice Kilbride wrote, “Our decision is not intended to reflect in any way on the viability of other possible redistricting reform initiatives.”

We hope the Independent Maps group, which very nearly succeeded in 2016, will remain together, retool its proposed amendment, and push ahead for needed redistricting reforms in the future.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘Make America Christian Again’ To the Editor, Rather than “Make America Great Again” Donald Trump’s message should have been “Make America Christian Again.”

Ever since Obama stated America is no longer a Christian nation, ministers, priests, abbots and cardinals have not taken Obama to task because of political correctness.

If any of these people spoke in defense of Christianity, they would have been criticized as racists by Obama and the drive-by-media.

This is what Obama has done with political correctness. It has scared the “living daylight” out of the religious communities in our country.

For years, what was the law in our country — the Ten Commandments — has now been made null and void.

Among Christians, there are more

damned souls than predestined souls. Saint Augustine states even more clearly, “Therefore, few are saved in comparison to those who are damned.”

The message of AKITA on Oct, 13, 1973, was to inform all, even the ding-a-lings, that the laws of God (the Ten Commandments) should be adhered to, and if the moral fiber of a nation begins to collapse, then a great catastrophe will come upon us.

If people don’t repent God will send a punishment more serious than the great flood. During the great flood, only eight people survived in the world, Noah and his family. During our time, fire will fall from the sky — most of humanity will be destroyed, even the good with the bad. Neither priests nor the faithful will be spared, and the sur-

vivors will envy the dead.

Satan’s goal is the destruction of religion and mostly the Catholic church. Attacks on the Catholic church have come in many forms — on marriage, contraception, sex, gender roles, priestly celibacy, black masses, and the desecration of the images of Jesus and Mary.

Hollywood and TV have mocked traditional Catholic values, portraying a perfect Catholic family as extremists coping with anti-gay bigotry while they steal and have sex out of wedlock, plus many more episodes that convey anti-Catholic messages.

Will the worldly ding-a-lings have their bell rung in the end? I think not because many are called but few are chosen.

Eric Ciucci Tribute donation request twelfth grade is enhanced as a result of PCEF programming each school year.

One of many events planned for this celebration is a silent basket auction and a children’s “brown bag” auction. You can support this event by donating a basket for either or both auctions. Silent auction items can be virtually anything for any age in a basket or container fitting your theme. Gift cards for goods and services also make great baskets. For the children’s “brown bag” auction, they are requesting items for 4-12 year olds in the price range of $10 to $15.

Any and all donations toward this fun-filled family day of tribute to Eric Ciucci, a man who was such a vital part of the Putnam County community, will be appreciated.

Baskets and children’s auction items should be delivered no later than Thursday, Sept. 8, to the Hennepin Boat Store or to Judy Boggio at 1026 East Court St. in Hennepin. Call 815-866-9272 for pick up.

On or about September 30, 2016, the Village of Granville intends to apply to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for a grant from the State CDBG program (funded by Title I of the federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended). Funds will be used to construct water treatment plant improvements. The total amount of CDBG funds to be requested is $400,132. The amount of CDBG funds proposed to be used for activities that will benefit low-to-moderate income persons is approximately $243,440. The Village of Granville also proposes to expend $125,475 in non-CDBG funds on the project.

These non-CDBG funds will be derived from the Village of Granville’s Water Operating Fund.

Information related to the project will be available for review prior to the public hearing as of September 13, 2016 at the NCICG offices between the hours of 8:00 and 4:00. Interested citizens are invited to provide comments either at the public hearing or by prior written statement. Written comments should be submitted to NCICG no later than September 19, 2016 in order to ensure placement in the official record of the public hearing. A plan to minimize displacement and provide assistance to those displaced has been prepared by the Village of Granville and is also available to the public.
