Avoid the disease until the freeze Protecting yourself and others from the West Nile Virus

By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

While mosquitoes are generally thought of as a summertime pest, their bite is still potent until autumn’s inevitable first freeze arrives. Along with the initial sting and the following incessant itching, mosquitoes can also deliver the disease known as West Nile Virus (WNV).

According to the Bureau and Putnam County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), West Nile Virus is most often spread by infected mosquitoes. It was first detected in North America in 1999 and has since traveled across the U.S. and Canada. The only states which have not reported any cases are

Alaska and Hawaii. It has also been documented in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Asia and Australia.

WNV typically cycles through birds and mosquitoes.

Infected birds can transmit the virus to mosquitoes who then spread the disease to other birds and animals, including humans. Some infected birds, but not all, will become ill and die from the virus. Finding dead birds may indicate the presence of the virus.

If you find a dead bird, report it to the health department.

You will be assisting them in monitoring and tracking the spread of the virus. Don’t handle the bird with your bare hands. Contact the department for instructions on the reporting and disposal of the bird.

According to the CDC, there were 44 documented cases

of WNV in Illinois in 2014. Three of those resulted in death.

There were 2,205 total cases with 97 deaths in the U.S. during the same year.

Bureau County Director of Environmental Health Kurt Kuchle said the nine test batches gathered around the county this year resulted in 450 mosquitoes being tested, and the results have all been negative as have the results for the tests conducted within Putnam County. The county is also required to test five birds for WNV, and they have so far tested four. None of them tested positive.

“The mosquitoes that carry the virus are of the genus Culex. Culex mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. You’re more likely to find them in the five-gallon bucket forgotten behind the garage than by a flooded river. They like it when

Keeping an eye on our elders New law allows recording devices in rooms of nursing home residents

By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

As an added measure of safety and security, a new law has been passed which will allow nursing home residents to put audio or video monitoring equipment in their rooms.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan passed House Bill 2462 in late August as a way to reassure senior citizens and their family members that utmost care is being afforded to nursing home residents. The new law will go into affect Jan. 1, 2016, and individual residents will be responsible for the cost, installation and maintenance of the monitoring devices.

With Illinois’ population continuing to age, Madigan proactively responded to recent complaints of abuse and negligence in nursing homes with this law, offering peace of mind to individuals who cannot always be at the side of the elders they love. The law prohibits facility retaliation against residents who choose to use the monitoring devices, and allows the recordings to be admissible in any legal proceedings.

Matt Hartmann, vice president of public policy at Illinois Healthcare Association, said residents utilizing the recording devices have the right to turn them on or off at their discretion. He also said the bill has strict consent language, which mandates all occupants, includ-

Earning their metals Illinois Valley metal-detecting club continues to grow

By Shannon Serpette news@putnamcountyrecord.com

The Illinois Valley Historical Research and Recovery Association (IVHRRA) really digs its work. So much, in fact, that members of the metal-de-

tecting club volunteer their time to help reunite people with their lost possessions whenever possible.

In one recent case, when an Ottawa woman lost her wedding rings while gardening, the club stepped in and hunted for the rings

several times spanning months before finally finding them, John Mateika, vice president of IVHRRA, said.

“We found it around their anniversary,” Mateika said. “Oh, they were happy.”

Recently, the club tried to show the younger generation the ropes of metal detecting by working with 48 children at Echo Bluff camp in Bureau County.

The hands-on teaching session was followed by a club hunt for those club members in attendance.

As young children hunt-

“We average two new members a month,” he said.

“Many of our members are outside of a 50-mile radius.

We have a large footprint.”

Gary Olson of Peru, a long-time detectorist, said a successful hunt involves more than just equipment and luck. He has found some great areas to search by doing his homework.

“You’re always doing research,” he said.

He encourages people to look at old plat books to find where former schoolhouses, early downtown areas, and popular gathering places were. Olson, in particular, likes hunting at the sites of old one-room schoolhouses.

“I’ve got one I can hunt in Bureau County,” he said.

“This stuff is just fascinating. You know that everything has changed so much in the last 100 years.”

Olson’s grandson, Alex Pozzi, 12, of Peru began metal detecting about three years ago, learning how by watching his grandfather.

“He goes with me everywhere,” Olson said.

Pozzi is more than just a tag-along, though; he is a capable detectorist in his own right.

“He’s holding his own on this thing,” Olson said.

People new to the hobby shouldn’t expect to get rich from it, and they should realize they’ll be pulling a lot of junk, like nails and bottle caps, from the ground, especially in the beginning.

“Frustration is a hobby killer,” Olson said.

Once in a while, though, the stars align and someone finds something of monetary value.

When asked about his most lucrative find, Olson doesn’t hesitate: “I found a pendant with three diamonds and four sapphires,” he said.

Despite his find and the valuable finds other club members have made, Olson is quick to point out those days are the exception, not the norm.

“You’re not going to get rich doing it,” he said. “You find a lot of junk before you find anything you write home about.”

But much of the joy of metal detecting isn’t measurable by dollars and cents. The real pleasure is in finding something, picturing the person who dropped it, wondering how it got there, and knowing you are the first person in decades, maybe centuries, to see it.

it’s dry, which is why the peak time for infection is at the end of July. This means the peak time for reported infections begin to appear in mid to late August. The best preventive measures you can take is to eliminate standing water around your home and to limit your time outside during dusk and dawn,” said Kuchle.

While mosquitoes are typically the source of infection, other ways have been documented as well, although they are a tiny proportion of cases. Infections have occurred through blood transfusions, organ transplants, exposure in a laboratory and through pregnancy, delivery and breast feeding.

After blood is donated it is tested for the presence of WNV. A positive is flagged as being a PVD, or presumptive viremic donation. This means there were no symptoms present in the donor at the time of the donation, but the blood tested positive during further screening.

Most infected people, 70-80 percent, will not develop symptoms. About 20 percent of those infected will develop a fever and other symptoms such as head and body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. Most people recover completely, but fatigue can last for months. Less than 1 percent of infected people will develop a serious neurological sickness such as encephalitis or meningitis.

The symptoms of neurological illness can include high fever, disorientation, headache, tremors, seizures, paralysis and coma.

Severe illness can develop in people of any age. However, people over 60 and those with medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, immune disorders and transplant patients are at greater risk for serious illness. If you think you or someone in your family might have WNV, consult your doctor for further evaluation. Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms along with specialized blood or spinal fluid tests.

ing resident and any roommates, be in full agreement to the presence of the recording devices.

Hartmann doesn’t expect a huge response to the bill once it goes into affect but said anything that reinforces residents’ comfort levels is a good thing.

“The cameras will be a good deterrent, as abuse is driven by an individual, not the establishment, and this will help them police themselves,” Hartmann said, adding situations where facility administration and device owners have

There are currently no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent WNV infection. People with milder symptoms usually recover on their own although some symptoms may be longer lasting. Most people are infected from June through September. The incubation time is usually two to six days after being bitten, but can range from 2-14 days.

WNV is not spread through casual contact such as kissing or touching an infected person or through animal-to-person contact.

Normal veterinary infection control prevention should be followed when caring for a horse suspected of being infected with WNV or any virus. It is not spread through the handling of live or dead infected birds although you should avoid handling any dead animal with bare hands. It is also not spread through the consumption of infected birds or animals. Always follow the proper procedures for fully cooking meat.

Pregnant women are not at higher risk to be infected

a qualm will be more effectively handled. “The camera doesn’t lie.”

Dennis Grobe, the administrator at Heritage Health in Walnut, said his establishment has an aggressive abuse policy, and if anyone has a concern, his door is open.

“I’d rather you ask questions than have any doubt,” said Grobe, who has cared for multiple members of his own family at Heritage Health. “I tell families sincerely if they’re worried as they go to bed, then we’re not doing our job. You should know your loved one is getting the best of care.”

by WNV, and there appears to be little risk of an infected woman passing the virus to her fetus or newborn. Any insect repellents containing active ingredients registered with the EPA are considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

It is believed that WNV can potentially be transmitted through breast milk. In 2002, a woman who became infected through a blood transfusion shortly after giving birth had the virus present in her breast milk. She had been breast feeding her infant and three weeks after birth the baby tested positive for the virus.

Because the baby’s minimal outdoor exposure it is unlikely it was infected by a mosquito. The infant developed no symptoms of infection and remained healthy. The transmission of the virus through breast milk is unknown, but the health benefits of breast feeding are well documented. Therefore, according the CDC, there are no recommendations for a mother to stop breast

The most effective way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. The following are tips to prevent bites: • Use insect repellents when outdoors. Use repellents containing DEET, IR3535, picaridin, para-menthane-diol or some oil of lemon eucalyptus. Mosquitoes will bite through thin clothing, so spraying clothing as well as exposed skin will give extra protection. Don’t spray repellents on the skin beneath your clothing.

• Wear long sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors and consider limiting your exposure during the peak mosquito hours of dusk and dawn.

• Make sure your window screens are in good condition.

• Limit mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, barrels and buckets. Keep gutters clean. Change the water in your pet dishes and bird baths frequently. Keep wading pools, pool covers and discarded tires empty and dry. Drill holes in tire swings so water will drain out.

• Support your local community mosquito control programs. Methods can include elimination of mosquito larval habitats and spraying insecticides from trucks or aircraft to kill adult mosquitoes. Your local control program can provide information about the products being used. feeding because of WNV. There also aren’t too many more weeks left in this year until the first freeze occurs. Once those colder temperatures arrive, the unpopular pests will not

be a factor again until their certain return during the warming temperatures of spring.

of the new law. When it goes into effect, they will ensure the peace of mind of residents, their roommates and their family members while protecting the dignity in their home.

“Our residents and family members can rest assured we will have policies and procedures in place to comply with the new law in a manner that protects the privacy of all our residents, family members and staff,” Peterson said.

“This law has just been passed and has yet to be fully developed,” said Mary Chambers, admissions director at Heartland Health Care Center in Henry. “Our most important consideration is the security and safety of our patients and residents.”

Direct Support Professional Week is Sept. 13-19 als, who span over the residential, community and developmental training day program (MLAs).

DSPs often sacrifice weekends and holidays, since Gateway provides 24-hour care for many. In many cases, the individuals look to the DSPs as friends or companions, especially sporting events, local fairs, zoos, and just out and about for a night of movies and eating out.

These are things that those who don’t otherwise have these personal connections,” said Tracy Wright, vice president of community services.

Direct Support Professionals or DSPs help individuals with intellectual/ developmental disabilities to be successful and as independent as possible in all aspects of their lives — from ensuring personal care needs are met to community connections being made. DSPs provide services for day-to-day living like grooming, cooking, cleaning, in addition to taking the individuals on various outings, acting as job coaches, and integrating individuals in the community.

PRINCETON — Freedom House has received a $4,000 grant from Ameren Illinois to provide victims of domestic and sexual violence assistance to build a life free from violence.

Often the clients who access Freedom House services earn less than $10,000 per year. Although they have a desire to start a new life, finances often limit their ability to do so.

The grant received will help victims with such things as medical expenses, car repairs and household expenses.

“This grant comes at a critical time when assistance from the state of Illinois is uncertain, while client needs continue to affect the choices they have to make” said Bruce McVety, executive director for Freedom House.

The grant funds were

made available through the Ameren Cares program, which connects Ameren Illinois with the communities it serves through charitable giving and volunteering.

Richard Mark, president and CEO of Ameren Illinois, said a key focus of this program is to partner with volunteer organizations like the Freedom House to improve the quality of life in Ameren Illinois’ service territory.

“At Ameren Illinois, we are passionate about helping those in need throughout our service territory,” said Chad Cloninger, director Division I, Ameren Illinois.

“We are proud to partner with organizations like the Freedom House, and hope these funds can ease the burdens of our customers.”

Changes to whole Company breaks Sheriff asks for farm revenue ground in Rochelle help in fatal hit insurance could and run accident increase access USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) recently announced expansion of Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) crop insurance to all states and counties. WFRP was first made available for the 2015 crop year, and provides revenue insurance coverage on all of a farmer’s crops and animals under one policy. The policy was previously limited to certain states and counties.

In addition, USDA RMA made some other key changes to the policy that will help break down barriers to access for beginning farmers, integrated crop and livestock producers, and for those who direct market their farm products.

Beginning farmers now only have to show three years of tax records to qualify for WFRP. Previously they had to show five years of records to qualify. This is a positive change that we hope will open the policy to more beginning farmers.

Another important change includes the elimination of the 35 percent limit on expected revenue from animals and animal products, and greenhouse and nursery crops. RMA will leave intact the $1 million cap on revenue from these sources. This is one of the biggest barriers integrated crop and livestock farmers had to accessing WFRP. Farmers who sell through direct markets will now be allowed to use their existing price records to calculate their revenue during the insurance year. Previously, farmers had to prove their revenue through third-party verified records, which is difficult if not impossible for those farmers who market directly through roadside stands and farmers’ markets.

ROCHELLE – New York-based BrightFarms Inc. broke ground recently on a $10 million, 160,000-squarefoot hydroponic greenhouse that officials say should be up and running by early next year.

Chicagoland Greenhouse, near Bay Valley Foods, just off Interstate 88, will grow more than 1 million pounds of salad greens – kale, arugula, baby spinach, and lettuce – as well as tomatoes and basil, a year for suburban grocer Mariano’s, a division of Milwaukee-based Roundy’s Supermarkets Inc. About two dozen greenhouse jobs will be created, and more than 100 local construction jobs, said Paul Lightfoot, BrightFarms CEO. The company has similar facilities in three other states. “Each farm is designed to conserve land, water, eliminate agricultural runoff and reduce greenhouse gas emission from transportation,” its website says.

“The food supply chain in the country today I don’t think is great,” Lightfoot said.

PRINCETON — Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed has announced the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department is expanding its investigation into a fatal hit and run accident that occurred early Sunday, Aug. 30, at approximately 12:45 a.m. in the area of 2500 East St. and 1150 North Ave. in Leepertown Township in Bureau County.

Reed said the accident occurred on a farm access road near a clearing where a large party, which included minors, was held. Pedestrian Jacqueline Martinez, 19, of Mendota was pronounced dead, and a young male was seriously injured as a result of the hit and run accident.

The Bureau County Sheriff’s Department is asking anyone with any information regarding this incident to contact the Bureau County Sheriff’s Department or the Bureau Putnam County CrimeStoppers.

Reed advised several agencies have been assisting the sheriff’s department with the investigation, including the Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff, Bureau County State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini, Tri-DENT, Illinois State Police, and the police departments from Princeton, Streator, LaSalle, Kewanee and Mendota.

Your love and support during this time of loss has been greatly appreciated. A special thank you to Bobby and Darlene Cofoid of Dysart-Cofoid Funeral Home and Pastor Kristi Hopp for making sure the service was absolutely perfect! We are most grateful for every expression of sympathy.

Charles Harvey Terrie and Bob Bennett and family Connie and Phil Banks and family Steve and Darla Harvey and family

“We are looking for a shorter supply chain that will create healthy food that is better for the environment.”

The company “wanted to come to the Chicagoland area because we wanted to partner with Mariano’s,” Lightfoot said. “Rochelle made it easy for us to decide to come here, because this site was ready to go.

Roads, sewer and power all run to this site, and it’s build-ready, which isn’t often the case.”

Lightfoot, 45, said he would like to keep some of the produce in the Rochelle area as well.

“We would love to partner with someone local. Whether it’s a nonprofit or with schools, we love to get some of this produce in the local community,” he said.

“We’re honored BrightFarms chose to put down roots in Rochelle, and we are excited for the completion of the greenhouse,” said Chet Olson, mayor of Rochelle.

The company also has greenhouses in Bucks County, Pa.; Kansas City, Mo., and Elkwood, Va.

Meant to be driven The automotive world is a diverse place, and I’m drawn to almost all of it. The fascination didn’t start for me as an eager-to-drive teen; it’s always been there. I’m the little kid, obsessed with Hot Wheels and all things automotive, all grown up. I thought I’d try to share some of what it’s like to drive a classic vehicle and why I like it. I don’t mean driving a garage queen which only sees the light of day when it’s sunny and warm out or backing it off a trailer to drive it into a show; I mean driving it every day, to anywhere, in any weather.

I often hear people say how much they’d love Dave to have an old car, Cook but don’t because they’re so expenCOMMENTARY sive. I’ve never understood this outlook. Having an old car does not require a small fortune. Oh, it can, but it’s not even close to being a necessity. If you want to have one, go get it; it’s fun.

My current mode of transport is a 1963 Plymouth Valiant. It’s a great little car which has always been reliable. It rides beautifully, and the steering is light and easy. Brakes ... well, it has brakes. I could upgrade them, but it comes with a fairly hefty price tag. It’s easier to simply adopt a driving style which keeps a fair distance between me and anything else.

There’s the wonderful, old car smell which doesn’t fade like the new car smell. The push button transmission on the dash is something which everyone always notices and enjoys. I’ve gotten more comments on those buttons than anything else. I get 26-29 mpg, and mechanical parts are plentiful and inexpensive.

I spent $3,000 for it. It’s a real survivor, originally owned and well maintained by a little old lady.

Shortly after buying it, it was in a bad accident (someone ran a red light). I refused to let the insurance people have their way and scrap it. I insisted they allow it to be fixed, and in less than 48 hours, I had located almost every part for the body shop. It was an ordeal, but it’s still on the road, and it was worth it.

A Valiant was often Mom’s car, a first car or the car sent along to college with a new student. If I had a dollar for every memory people have shared with me over the years I’d be driving one of my fantasy cars.

The attention it draws is enjoyable and positive.

Yes, there are times when I don’t want to listen to someone’s recollections about their neighbor’s uncle who had a friend who had a sister who drove a Valiant, but overall it’s fun and welcomed. It’s also often been amusing.

On more than one occasion I’ve found myself parked next to a new, far more expensive and desirable car, and it’s always a similar scenario. A small, road worn, 52-year-old Plymouth is parked next to a new, extremely expensive Mercedes sports car or something comparable. The people walk right by the mighty German, ignoring its gloriously Teutonic engineering, style and flawless black paint and shout to me, “Hey man, cool Plymouth!” It feels weird to feel sorry for someone driving that sort of car, but I kind of do. If nothing else, I was surely admiring his car. My love can cross all years, makes and classes.

I’ve driven newer cars, and while there can be many good aspects to them, there’s more of a connection with the car and the road while driving an old car. New cars are too insulated and sterile. Drivers are removed as far as possible from the experience of driving. I’m not interested in being able to access my email from my steering wheel. A little road and wind noise isn’t a bother and having some road feel come through the steering wheel is a good thing. I like being able to hear and possibly even feel what’s going on under the hood. I don’t mind dealing with the inevitable quirks and occasional inconveniences which develop after five decades on the road. They’re often referred to as the car’s character or personality. You become accustomed to every noise and little vibration and quickly notice when anything changes.

There’s also a difference in materials. Plastic is something scarce on an older car. I appreciate the solid thud I hear and feel when I close the door.

There’s a satisfying heaviness to it. It was built to

Me, myself and I I had a terrible argument with myself today. It was the kind of quarrel where things were said in the heat of the moment about myself that I can’t take back. In fact, I’m not even on speaking terms with myself right now.

I was mowing my parents’ yard.

They live out in the country, and it takes a long time to cut all of their grass. We’re talking several hours if you want to mow the whole thing. It involves a lot of bouncing around on a yellow seat and inevitably, talking to yourself. Well, at least it used to.

It started innocently enough when I was mowing under one of their trees. There was a stick in my path. In my humble opinion, it was definitely not big enough to be considered a limb. Some people may consider it a section of a branch, but to me, it was a smallish, tiny, insignificant part of the tree, definitely not worthy of me having to get off of the lawn mower to pick up. So I just kind of, sort of mowed over it.

After that, I started thinking, “What if Dad saw me mow over that stick?” He might not think that it was as small and insignificant as I did. He might wonder why I didn’t get my lazy butt off of his riding lawn mower that he purchased with his money instead of running over a hard wooden object that might possibly damage the mower blades, the mower deck or break the window of his house which was also purchased with his hard-earned money. My lazy butt suddenly became concerned. So I thought that I had better plan out my reasoning if he were to confront me about it. This is when all the trouble started.

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY You see, all of my completely made up reasoning was going to revolve around the basis that I like to run over sticks every now and then because it helps to clean out the stuck-on grass underneath the mower deck. If it would have helped, I’d have told him that I read it in a magazine. I guess maybe a magazine like Lawn Mowers Digest or something like that. Yep, my lie was really coming together.

My line was going to be, “I ran over the stick purposely. It helps clean out the grass on the mower deck.” But then I started thinking, should the word be “purposely” or “purposefully.” The best verbal fabrications hinge on the proper wording. Trust me, I know.

Purposely or purposefully, that was the dilemma I found myself in. Part of me thought that “purposely” was the way to go because I ran over the stick with purpose.

The stupid part of me thought that “purposefully” was correct because I was “full of purpose” when I ran over the piece of wood.

What an idiot!

I mean, I guess that I had a point but I just wanted myself to see my side of the argument. But the manner in which I debated myself with such vehemence, I knew it wasn’t going to do any good. What a pompous, arrogant oaf I can be!

After a few rounds on the mower, the argument with myself

became even more heated. A couple of times, I thought that I was going to have to step in because it looked like I was going to come to blows with myself. And I know how I can fight dirty sometimes.

As the afternoon wore on, I became more and more disgusted.

As I finished up the yard, I caught myself giving myself a rather vulgar hand gesture. I stomped off in a huff. There was no way I was going to put up with that kind of treatment. It was going to take a sincere apology to end this confrontation and quite honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to give in.

Upon some research that I did later in the evening, I found out that technically, either word could have been used in the situation, at least by my rather loose literary standards. But I’m not going to tell myself that. I’m not going to give that jerk the satisfaction.

I don’t know when I’ll start talking to myself again. Oh, I imagine that someday I’ll look in the mirror and compliment myself on a new haircut or maybe mention that I’m looking good after losing a few pounds. Something like that could eventually help break the icy silence we’ve had to endure with each other.

But I don’t want to think that I can be won over by a few flowery, kind words about my appearance.

No, it’s going to take much more than that to bring an end to this feud.

And that’s too bad because I really miss me.

last, and it has. And chrome, where has all the chrome gone? New cars are lucky if they even get a few little bits of shiny plastic. I prefer real chrome; I want big, heavy chromed bumpers and trim.

I love history and driving an old car is actively experiencing history. It’s easy to imagine 1963 when you’re behind the wheel. Older styling is incomparable. Walk out into a parking lot and take a look. Modern cars are largely indistinguishable from each other, and even the colors are the same. Every manufacturer seems to want to make a car

which looks like every other. Most new cars seem devoid of any semblance of real style in their design and those which do often have a style based off of an older car.

I’ve owned the trusty old Plymouth for about 10 years and have recently come to the decision that I’m ready to part ways with it and drive something different.

I’ll always love it, and rather than being interested in how much I can get for it, I’m more focused on finding it a good home. I already own another classic. It’s been previously restored, and I’ve decided it’s time

for it to enter duty as my new daily driver.

I did think about selling both and getting a newer car, but the thought quickly dissipated. My new horseless carriage will be a bit of a change since it’s certainly more colorful, firmer handling, stops on a dime and is substantially more powerful than the little Valiant, but all the critical aspects are the same. It has classic styling, it’s well built and most importantly, it’s fun to drive.

Lady Puma Maddie Hultz slides into home plate during Saturday’s regional win over Lowpoint-Washburn. Hultz was safe after L-W catcher Jadie Kaerlt juggled the ball.

Pumas win regional game over L-W

By Dan Dwyer Shaw Media

MCNABB — Coach Chris Walker knows his team dodged a bullet on Saturday afternoon.

The host and number two seeded Putnam County Pumas advanced to their own Illinois Elementary School Association regional championship game by sneaking past the number three seeded Lowpoint-Washburn Bobcats, 10-4.

“If I didn’t say we dodged a bullet out their today, I’d be lying. They came to play and we didn’t take advantage of our opportunities like we should have,” Walker said.

It looked grim for the Pumas as a leadoff single by the Bobcats catcher Jadie Kaerlt got L/W rolling early as they knocked in three runs in the first two innings to take an early 3-0 lead.

“We weren’t getting anything done early and I’ve done this long enough to know that you don’t want to let a team hang around. It may not end well so we needed to figure out how to kick it into gear. I looked them right in the eyes and said, ‘I don’t care if it’s eight to nothing, we can still win this game,’ and at that point they just got down to it and started to play,” added Walker.

The Pumas used four hits in their half of the third inning including a double to left field by right fielder Shayla Arroyo that plated two runs to tie the ball game at 3-3.

That left an opportunity for the designated hitter McKenna Solomon to step to the plate with two outs and trade places with Arroyo on an RBI double to give PC their first lead at 4-3.

Bobcat pitcher Alex Malec did what she could for

the remainder of the game to put her team in position to win, including getting L/W out of a bases loaded, no-out jam in the fourth inning.

“We had them loaded and we got nothing out of it.

We can’t miss opportunities like that, but their pitcher stepped up and got herself out of a tough situation,” Walker said.

PC pitcher Savannah Tucker gave up a late run to tie the ballgame at 4-4 on a fielder’s choice. The outcome could have been much worse as the Bobcats had the bases loaded in the sixth inning but were only able to push across the one run.

Walker credits his pitcher’s growth and what she has learned over the course of the season with getting her out of a bases-loaded jam.

“She may not have that fourth gear like some other pitchers, so she has to change her speeds a lot and rely on what she has learned to get herself out of those situations,” he said. “She had to dig deep and that has kind of been our motto this last week, dig deep.”

A 2-for-4 effort with a double, two runs scored and three runs batted in for Arroyo puts her on the top end of offensive production for the Pumas while center fielder Maddie Hultz also went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. She also added two RBIs. Tucker went the distance giving up four runs on nine hits while striking out five Bobcats.

The Pumas took on LaSalle Dimmick in the Class A Regional 1 title game Monday afternoon. Results were not available by press time.

“For one, I’m just glad that we have the opportunity to play again. Number two, we are really going to have to up our game in the next two days to compete with these girls we have coming up and they’re pretty darned talented,” Walker said.

They moved to Hennepin in 1956 when Brook accepted a position with the Hennepin Power Plant.

Irene worked as a school secretary in the Hennepin School. They spent retirement years in Mt. Home, Ark., returning to Princeton in 2007. Brook is a World War II Navy veteran, serving in the Pacific.

They will be celebrating with their family.

PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution opened their 201516 chapter year with a program on the U.S. Constitution.

Presented by the chapter’s Constitution Week chairman, Debra Wendt, her program covered the framing of the Constitution and the history behind its amendments.

Constitution Week was originated by NSDAR, enacted by Congress, and signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower on April 15, 1957. Constitution Week is commemorated annually Sept.

17-23. This year marks the 228th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution.

The Sept. 5 meeting was called to order by acting regent Evalynn Blanco at in the community room at the Bureau County Republican. Two new members were welcomed, Linda Byrd from Mendota and Karla Losey from Chillicothe.

Folders of DAR materials and roses were presented during the welcoming ceremony. Prospective member Cassidy Salsbery was approved.

The year 2015 marks the 125th anniversary of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a women’s service organization based on direct lineal descent of a Revolutionary War patriot. The National Society was founded by an act of Congress on Oct. 11, 1890, and incorporated by Congressional charter in 1896.

Members are dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. Since the society’s inception, more than 930,000 women have been admitted to membership. Among the organization’s 3,000 chapters in the U.S. and abroad, more than 10 million service hours have been recorded by members since 2013.

The Princeton-Illinois chapter was founded in 1896 and will commemorate its 120th anniversary on April 13, 2016.

The sign-up sheet for the chapter’s Conservation Committee project of monthly clean-up at Darius Miller Park was passed. Begun in 1998, this is the 17th year for this

chapter activity.

Reports from the Vietnam Commemoration Committee, the bake sale, education, yearbook and Homestead committees were delivered. Members were encouraged to save Labels for Education and Box Tops for Education, which are donated to the two DAR Schools and six other schools approved by DAR. Five members attended DAR Days workshops in East Peoria on Aug. 28-29, and information was shared.

Arrangements for upcoming meetings were discussed. At the Oct. 2 chapter meeting, the chapter service project, honoring the 125th anniversary of DAR, will be held.

Members are also asked to work toward a list of 125 DAR memories.

Another meeting is the District II meeting in LaSalle prior to playing bingo with the residents of the LaSalle Veterans Home. The Nov. 7 joint meeting with Illini Chapter from Ottawa and guest, State Regent Sharon Frizzell, will be followed by a U.S. flag presentation at Starved Rock State Park.

The next meeting, on Oct. 2 will be held at the Prouty Building in Princeton.

PCHS students will attend seminar GRANVILLE — Students in Putnam County High School’s business and CEO classes will attend a sales psychology and business strategy seminar presented by D.J. Carroll on Sept. 18 at the high school in Granville.

Rather than doing what was expected of him, Carroll, who now

Save the Date

lives in Louisville, Ky., didn’t go to college right out of high school.

Instead, he started his own business, EasyPro, with $300. Within its first five years his business grew by more than 4,000 percent and it is now a million dollar business operating in three states.

Carroll also owns a coaching

business, along with several others, and works with everyone from Fortune 500 companies to high school students.

Carroll instructs individuals and businesses on how to become selling machines with proven techniques in sales psychology and business strategies.

Scholarship open to high school seniors MOLINE — Midwest Technical Institute and the mikeroweWORKS Foundation announced the third annual mrWF/MTI scholarship program for graduating high school seniors beginning Sept. 14.

The 2015-2016 program will award seven graduating high school seniors with a 100 percent tuition-paid scholarship for any of MTI’s workforce training programs. Winners will have the opportunity to select from a number of in-demand vocational courses and programs including welding, HVAC, medical assisting, dental assisting, truck driving and more.

The program, in collaboration with TV personality Mike Rowe, was established in 2013 as a partnership between MTI and the mikeroweWORKS Foundation to foster an

interest in a wide range of mechanical trade and allied health careers.

Each year, approximately $800,000 in scholarship funds is awarded to help high school students gain the skills and experience necessary to secure meaningful employment in today’s competitive workforce and develop into industry-leading professionals.

Speaking of the program’s importance, MTI’s director of high school development Eric Gleason believes the program can play a vital part in helping today’s high school students realize their future without the expense of a traditional college degree.

“Student loan debt can follow you for many years and this scholarship opportunity allows you to graduate debt free,” Gleason said. “For exam-

ple, as a college graduate, I still owe $4,000 and I am 36 years old.”

To be eligible, students must be graduating seniors during the 20152016 academic year and submit a brief essay and video detailing why they should be selected as a scholarship winner. Submitted videos will be uploaded to MTI’s website for a period of public voting where the video with the greatest number of votes will be declared the winner.

Submissions opened Sept. 14 and will be accepted through March 25, 2016. Public voting on student videos will run from April 1 to May 1, 2016, and winners will be announced on or about May 6, 2016.

For more information about the scholarship program, including previous winners, visit www.midwesttech.edu.

IVCC Foundation’s 21st Century Scholars named OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College sophomore Kaitlin Raineri of Peru, a 4.0 student who taught English at a Romanian orphanage this summer, was named the IVCC Foundation’s 21st Century Scholar recently and will receive $3,500 for tuition, books and fees.

Finalists receiving $2,500 each at the 21st Century Scholars Society’s ninth annual dinner were Adam Skoff of Peru, chemical engineering; Rachel Guynn of LaSalle, nursing; Cody O’Brien of Lostant, accounting; and Alec Lindemann of Ottawa, computer engineering.

Raineri, the daughter of Mike and Kay Raineri, spent 11 months in the Netherlands as part of Rotary Youth Exchange and last summer taught children in a village in Romania.

Next fall, she will transfer to Marquette University or Loyola University to double major in international business and management and minor in Spanish. She is proficient in Dutch and plans to work overseas for an American company.

Raineri is a registered Red Cross disaster relief volunteer, Honors Program president, student ambassador and Student Government Association representative.

She was part of a church mission that took her to Pittsburgh and the home

of an elderly woman without a family. Raineri’s team repaired her kitchen, re-roofed her sunroom and built her a porch.

In her introduction, Raineri was described as both “cosmopolitan” and “compassionate” and English instructor Adam Oldaker said in his recommendation letter “a positive, cando attitude is present in her every endeavor.”

Skoff, the son of IVCC alumnus Ken Skoff, came to IVCC from San Antonio in the fall of 2014. He is involved in numerous student organizations such as STEM, Honors, Chem Club (as president he coordinated IVCC’s Science Festival), Phi Theta Kappa, Student Ambassadors and tutors math and chemistry in the Learning Commons.

A 4.0 student, Skoff plans to pursue his chemical engineering degree at the University of Illinois before working in water treatment management or offshore drilling.

Guynn, the daughter of Ralph and Jill Guynn, hopes to one day work as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). She works in the IVCC biology lab, tutors anatomy and physiology students and is a CNA at St. Margaret’s Health.

Nursing lab instructor Lee Ann Johnson said Guynn has an “uncompromising work ethic,” is

“dependable and generous with her time,” and “exemplifies all we hope for in our students.”

O’Brien, the son of Darren and Sheri O’Brien, will transfer to Illinois State University next fall to major in accounting. In his recommendation letter, IVCC accounting instructor Mike Sankovich said of O’Brien, “A student with a strong work ethic, excellent interpersonal skills, and superior academic ability, he will be a solid addition to the accounting profession.”

Last spring break, O’Brien participated in a nine-day service trip sponsored by ISU’s “Students Today, Leaders Forever” program that took him to Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Completing a project each day, the team renovated a 100-year-old train station, landscaped at a Head Start preschool and did home improvements for a disabled, elderly woman.

Lindemann, the son of Peter and Michele Lindemann, has a 3.95 GPA and will study computer engineering at the U of I next fall and plans to work as a software engineer or in video game design. At IVCC, Lindemann is engaged in Honors, Phi Theta Kappa, Sigma Kappa Delta and STEM Club.

Lindemann’s family has raised more than $42,000

In all, 21 students received a society record $26,750. Since its founding in 2007, 21st Century

has awarded more than $106,000 to 83 students.

Currently made up of about 30 members each contributing $500 annually, the initiative rewards some of IVCC’s most promising second-year students.

To qualify, students must have a minimum 3.5 GPA as well as extensive college involvement and community service.

New members welcomed were IVCC’s Vice President for Academic Affairs Deborah Anderson with husband, Mark Green, and Dr. Holly Novak of Springfield. To join the society, call Fran Brolley at 815-224-0466.
