McNabb’s village gathering Cimei: ‘Find a way to get people together’ By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
MCNABB — The residents of McNabb will be invited to a get-together in the near future. The McNabb Village Board pledged $100 to help fund a social event to give the residents a chance to get re-acquainted and meet people who have recently moved into town.
The idea was brought before the board during the Sept. 11 meeting by McNabb Fire Protection District member John Cimei as a means to bring a sense of friendship and community back to the village. “A few of us feel that, with all of the new people who have come to our town, we don’t know our neighbors,” said Cimei.
“We’d like to have a community dinner – free for the people of our community. We just want to find a way to get people together.” “I look at our community, and it’s a very special community,” Cimei said. “How many communities of 350 people have a 24-hour paramedic service in their town, convenience store, hard-
ware store, bank, restaurant, veterinarian service; I can go on and on. Look around the county, and you won’t find a town that will halfway compare with our town.” The fire department will be approaching businesses throughout the village for donations. Their intent is to hand-deliver invitations to everyone in the village and fire protection district. The invitation will have a list
of the businesses in the district, and residents will have to present the invitation to attend. The board was very supportive of the idea. “I think this would be great for the town,” said Mike Vaskie, board president. “I think it’s a great opportunity to get some community spirit going.” The gathering is currently planned for the second weekend in October.
In other action, the board: • Agreed to replace 14 of the poles on the park shelter due to deterioration. Work will start after the last currently scheduled private event in the park, and it should be completed by Nov. 1. • Voted to make donations to several non-profit projects in the area. The board donated $100

‘Making the right choices’ CPASA sponsors presentation on bullying and social pressures By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) brought Omaha-based author and R5 Productions presenter Mike Donahue to Putnam County High School Sept. 10. Donahue talked to students about bullying, and the social pressures teenagers face today. “I can’t tell you don’t do drugs. That would be hypocritical,” Donahue said, using a voice students were easily able to relate to. “I was a drug and alcohol abuser when I was in sixth grade. I didn’t do it for the high. I did it to escape the pressure.” Donahue talked to the students at PCHS about his own experiences as a youth, including a time when his mother attacked him with a knife. The wound required 17 stitches, but Donahue didn’t want anyone at school to know how it happened. “I went to school the next day, and there was that pressure to belong. Not me that day. I found a bathroom, and I spent the whole day crying,” said Donahue. “That was the worst day of my life.” According to Donahue, a lot of destructive behavior young people go through is due to the
pressures of day-to-day peer pressure at school, and a failure for students and parents to communicate and understand the problems children face. “I talked to the mother of a girl who had committed suicide. She said ‘Why did my daughter commit suicide?’ The problem was she didn’t listen, and her daughter didn’t tell her all of her problems,” Donahue said. “‘I just thought they were the usual stuff,’” she told Donahue. Donahue has spoken to more than one million students throughout the last decade about bullying, respect and destructive decisions. He is the owner of R5 Productions and the author of three books: “Reinventing My Normal,” “Hidden Scars” and “Talking to Brick Walls.” His fourth book, a guide to tackling bullying, written through his own story, is scheduled for release next year. “I was on both sides of that coin growing up. I was the victim of bullying and also the bully. And that’s why I launched R5,” said Donahue, “I know how these kids are feeling – I’ve walked in their shoes and felt their anxiety and pain first hand today. That’s why today, I am dedicated to helping young people feel powerful by making right choices in their lives.”

Putnam County third-grader Jadin Keirski receives her dictionary from her mother, Rotarian Samantha Wachowiak.
A gift of knowledge By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN —Several Putnam County Rotarians were at Putnam County Elementary School in Hennepin on Sept. 11 for this year’s distribution of dictionaries to all Putnam County third-graders. The event marks the club’s seventh
year of participation in a national, non-profit project that hopes to boost students’ love of learning, by publishing books for presentation by Rotary Clubs throughout the nation. The dictionaries selected by Putnam County Rotary for distribution this year include valuable reference informa-
tion such as the basics of grammar, weights and measures, the solar system, U.S. history and important world facts. Students learning English as a second language will also receive their own Spanish-English dictionaries. In presenting the books, chapter Rotary President Brenda Bick-
erman highlighted the words inserted in each book, known to Rotarians as “the Four-Way Test,” to always be truthful, fair, responsible and thoughtful of others in students’ daily activities at home and at school. Afterwards, PC Schools Superintendent Jay

Dictionaries From Page 1 McCracken led students through some games designed to allow students to become familiar with their dictionaries. “I’ve chaired this program all seven years,” said Dictionaries Project Chair Adriane Shore. “As a former teacher, this is something I really believe in.” Rotarians participating in the presentation included Shore, and committee members McCracken, PCES Principal Mike Olson, Lorraine Terando, Rosanne Maier and Samantha Wachowiak. “This is a great program. It gets the community involved with the school through the Rotary and gives the students something that helps them through their education and beyond,” said Olsen. “And it gives the superintendent a chance to interact with the kids which is something he truly loves to do but doesn’t get an opportunity often enough.”
Remembering 9/11 Flags commemorating the 2001 terrorist attacks fly at half mast at the Putnam County Courthouse on Sept. 11. The flags were loaned by Putnam County Clerk Dan Kuhn to the courthouse as a reminder of those who died on that day, and the impact it still holds. The Flag of Honor (top) contains the names of the victims of the attack, while the Flag of Heroes lists the names of the emergency service personnel who gave their lives in the aftermath.

Area veterans to take Honor Flight By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
DAVENPORT, Iowa — Three Putnam County veterans will be among those recognized with an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 3. Jim Goldasich, Harold Schrowang and John Bima have been chosen to fly free of charge to visit memorials and sights in the nation’s capitol by Honor Flight of the Quad Cities. The first Honor Flight in the nation started in Springfield, Ohio, in May 2005. In 2008, the Quad Cities formed a local chapter, called Honor Flight of the Quad Cities (HFQC). The purpose of HFQC is to fly America’s veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to honoring their sacrifices. Top priority is given to World War II- and Koreanera veterans, or any veterans with a terminal illness. The intention is to honor the local and regional

heroes who were selfless in their military duty with a free trip to visit their memorials. The program operates on donations from organizations and individuals. Volunteers plan and coordinate the flight event, and special guardians are trained to help escort the veterans the day of the flight. Local organizer Jodi Slingsby said some veterans are hesitant to take advantage of the honor. That’s where she comes in. “I call and get them to go. Even when we did the big bunch out of here, I can’t tell you how many
times I had to make phone calls to the house, ‘You’re going. You’re going if I have to come get you and roll you out in a wheelchair into my car. You’re going,’” she’d say to the reluctant veteran. Arrangements are made to insure veterans’ needs are covered. “I took Cindy Bunnell when we went the first time because she was an inhalant specialist, and we had a couple of vets on oxygen. They said, ‘We can’t go.’ No, no, no, we got that covered,” said Slingsby. Each veteran has a guardian assigned to them
for the trip to give whatever assistance might be required, and veterans are required to fill out a medical form so the organizers know about each veteran’s individual needs. Veterans and their guardians must attend an orientation meeting in Rock Falls so they can meet, get to know each other and learn about the itinerary. The Honor Flight departs from Quad Cities International Airport. In addition to the flight, the organization arranges for students from local schools to write letters to the veterans thanking them for their service. The letters are handed out on the return flight home. There is still some room for more guardians to take this group of veterans. Guardians do have to pay the $500 for the flight and travel arrangements. Forms and information are available at www.honorflightqc.org. Applications must be received no later than Sept. 26.

County board OKs roof testing By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Board voted to begin the process of discovering exactly what condition the Putnam County Courthouse is in. Basalay, Cary and Alstadt, an architectural firm of Ottawa, has been given the goahead to perform an exploratory drilling on the courthouse roof to determine if the surface of the roof is the problem or if it goes much deeper. The test will cost the county $21,850. No actual estimate on the repairs has been made, although George Cary told the board previously it would “not be inexpensive.” Several of the materials used in any repair option would have to be custom-made, since they are no longer manufactured. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to do this in stages and spread the cost out,” said Duane Calbow, county board president. The Putnam County Courthouse is the old-
est functioning courthouse in the state. In other action, the board: • Went into closed session to discuss the hiring of a new county highway supervisor. Calbow said there are no candidates at this time, but the board is still intending to share the officer with Marshall County as before. • Heard a report from Sheriff Kevin Doyle on his search for a possible service dog for the department. It has been some time since the county had a canine unit, and Doyle told the board donations from residents and businesses are sufficient to pay for the purchase of a new dog without using taxpayer dollars. • Set the dates for the upcoming budget meetings for the next fiscal year. Meetings will be at 5 p.m. Sept. 23 and Sept. 30 and 9 a.m. Oct. 7. The meetings are open to the public. • Discussed allowing Sandy Woest to administrate the county website.

College enrollments are down By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
OGLESBY — According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, college enrollment in fall 2012 plunged by half a million (467,000) from one year earlier. This decline, which includes both graduate and undergraduate enrollment, follows a period of substantial growth between 2006 and 2011. As the nation’s students begin a new school year, the Census Bureau released its annual set of tables on the characteristics of chil-
dren and adults enrolled in school at all levels from nursery to graduate school. Among the characteristics examined were age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, nativity and foreign-born parentage. The decline in college enrollment was driven by older students, those 25 and older. Their enrollment fell by 419,000, while the enrollment of younger students declined by 48,000. In 2012, there were 19.9 million college students, including 5.8 million enrolled in two-year colleges, 10.3 million in four-year
Library to provide program on Affordable Care Act HENNEPIN — Join the Putnam County Library at 6 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Putnam County Library in Hennepin, when Mary Hallock of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois explains the upcoming changes in the health care laws. Learn how new provisions of the health care reform law will change how many people will get health insurance beginning in 2014. There will be different ways to compare and purchase health insurance — either directly through an insurance com-
pany or agent or through online health insurance exchanges. Many people will be eligible for tax credits or subsidies to help pay for coverage. Hallock has been with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois since 2007 and has been a featured speaker at numerous seminars. She has extensive experience in the insurance industry and health care management. Registration is required and can be done by calling the Putnam County Library at 815-925-7020.
colleges and 3.8 million in graduate school. Locally, Illinois Valley Community College’s enrollment also slipped. “We’re down 6 percent in head count this year from last year,” said IVCC Director of Community Relations and Development Fran Brolley. “We’re also down 6 percent in credit hours taken.” For IVCC, this is not a new occurrence. Enrollment has been on the decline for a couple of years. “We set record attendance in 2010,” said Brolley. “We had 8,361 credit
students enrolled between our fall, spring and summer semesters. Numbers have been slipping since then.” Speculation on the reasons for the drop in enrollment point predominately toward economics with college being financially out of reach for many, and the amount of grant money available being cut. Additionally, there’s a growing concern that college may not be worth the investment with at least one estimate of approximately 53 percent of college graduates currently unemployed or under-employed.
Quinn’s task force to meet in Peru PERU — The LaSallePeru Township High School Area Career Center will be playing host next week to a meeting of Gov. Pat Quinn’s Area Career and Technical Education and Vocational Centers Task Force. State leaders will discuss the future of career and technical education in Illinois during the meeting. Participants will be looking at the financial challenges that career centers are facing today and exploring innovative solutions to ensure that opportunities for career and technical education
training for Illinois high school students remains a viable option. George Letavish, policy analyst for Quinn, will be conducting the meeting and Bob Sheets, a policy advisor from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, is expected to attend. The public meeting will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday in the Dolan Building (Corner Cafe), 200 Ninth St., Peru.

GRANVILLE — September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, a national program that attempts to reach those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to teach them how to live a healthy life. The observance’s main focus is to congratulate those in recovery from these conditions and to help others realize treatment is effective and people can and do recover. Drug and alcohol abuse is still a big problem in Illinois and accounts for most of the felonies committed in Putnam County. Drug abuse, especially marijuana, starts early. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, approximately 6.5 percent of all eighth-graders had used pot during the last month according
to a 2012 study. Those figures show a steady increase in usage over the last ten years. While alcohol usage is declining nationwide, it still starts early with the same study showing one out of every four 12thgraders getting drunk during the previous month and slightly less participating in binge drinking. In Illinois, the numbers are disturbing. Over 5,500 deaths among Illinois residents each year, more than 5 percent of all deaths, are directly or indirectly related to the use of alcohol and other drugs. Between 3,600-4,000 Illinois residents die each year from accidental injuries related to the use of alcohol. The annual Illinois statewide economic costs associated with alcohol, other drug and tobacco-related mortality is in excess of $3.5 billion.

Field of Dreams The PC Agriculture Museum held their annual open house of the Putnam County Historical Society. Bruce Hollaway of Buda had his enclosed bee hive on display, and he told the story of bee keeping to large audiences. The permanent display of agriculture equipment, tools, wildlife, coal mining, military memorabilia, 1900’s general store, post office, one-room COMMENTARY school and farm kitchen were on view for the many people who attended the historic gem on the prairie, including tours of the historic Pulsifer House built in 1844. Antique tractors and trucks were lined up for all to see. There was also the Discovery trailer with animals for the children. ••• The Week International magazine had an article about the three teenagers — one white who drove the car and the other black, and one of these shot and killed 22-year-old Chris Lane, a white college student from Australia attending college in Duxan, Okla. He was shot as he was jogging down a road. They shot him in the back. Lane was in the United States to pursue his dream of playing professional baseball. Racial animus was very clearly a factor. Shortly before the attack on Lane, one of the killers tweeted, “90 percent of white people are nasty. #HATE THEM.” So where’s the outrage? Does racism only count when it is white on black? The Wall Street Journal in an editorial said, “There was no saturation cable TV coverage, no press conference featuring Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, and no statement from the Oval Office.” Kathleen Parker wrote in the Washington Post, “... that unfortunately, the race peddlers would rather focus on white injustice.” Even President Obama got into this polarizing game when he unwisely injected himself into the Trayvon Martin case, declaring that if had a son, “He’d look like Trayvon.” With this single statement he essentially gave permission for all to identify themselves by race with the victim, or the accused. I could just as easily say, “If I had a son, he would look like Christopher Lane,” or “If I had a father, he would look like Delbert Belton,” an 88-year-old, white, World War II veteran beaten to death last week by two black teens in Spokane. ••• Trivia: “Who was the agent who hunted down American gangster Al Capone?” Answer at the end of this article. ••• “Flattery is like chewing gum. Enjoy it, but don’t swallow it.” — Cartoonist Hank Ketcham. “A right is a responsibility in reverse.” — E.B. White. “I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” — Thomas Jefferson. “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls.” — Thomas Edison. ••• On July 7, 1928, Otto Rohwedder, a jeweler from Davenport, Iowa, and Frank Bench, a baker from Chillicothe, Mo., made history selling sliced bread for the first time. Rohwedder had invented a bread slicer years before but could not find a commercial baker brave enough to use it. Most people scoffed and told him pre-sliced bread would get stale and dry long before it could be eaten. When Rohwedder finally proposed a workable solution to Bench — wrapping the bread in waxed paper after it was sliced, and a trial balloon was launched that literally changed the way the world ate bread. After this every good idea was heralded as: “The next best idea since sliced bread.” ••• Answer to the trivia question: The agent who hunted down Al Capone was Elliot Ness. ••• May all your life be long, successful and happy.

Dollars and sense It was many years ago when I first stepped foot into the 220,000-foot facility. Kewanee was the home of BOMAG Americas, where road building equipment was manufactured and sold in all 50 states. I was fortunate enough to get hired and spend the next 12 years of my career at this multi-million dollar corporation. So I was saddened last week when BOMAG announced that after nearly 100 years of local operations, the company would “cease manufacturing operations in Kewanee by the end of 2014 and relocate its business to a yet-to-be determined location in the southern United States.” As I thought about the announcement, I realized it was truly a reflection of the current job market in many ways. The good The BOMAG jobs are not leaving the country. According to the most recent “Economic Review” published by the University of Illinois, jobs have increased in the United States by 155,300 per month. The Boston Consulting group published a report last month estimating that as much as 30 percent of goods imported from China will be manufactured
in the United States by 2020. Companies like Nokia, Motorola and others are creating jobs in the United States to design and manufacture products that less than a decade ago, would have been lost to competitors overseas. Increased efficiency, higher overseas logistics costs and declining energy costs from the shale boom are improving U.S. competitiveness globally. The bad Even though we are adding jobs in America, Labor Department data shows the average hourly pay actually declining. Employers are definitely not under any pressure to raise wages anytime soon. After all, we still have 11.5 million unemployed people searching for work, and millions of others who have simply just given up looking for a job. Adding to the wage pressure is a job market which is becoming more and more global every day. Oceans, once a barrier for wage disparity between continents, are now merely a body of water between landmasses. The ugly The BOMAG jobs are leaving Illinois. At a recent luncheon, our District 16 Representative Adam Kinzinger posed a ques-
Christian Cyr COMMENTARY tion: “So how is the local economy?” A businessman in attendance who conducts business across the country responded the economy was doing quite well and appeared to be improving. I felt it my duty, however, to speak up and explain to the Congressman that while the national economy may be getting better, that wasn’t necessarily always the case locally. Kinzinger admitted the No. 1 complaint he hears from his constituents was the poor economy in our district. This admission made sense to me – because the fact is while the nation is adding jobs, Illinois is losing them. • According to the Illinois Policy Institute and IRS data, between 1995 and 2009, Illinois lost one resident every 10 minutes ... and with them went $26 billion in taxable income. • According to a United Van Lines migration study, Illinois
American Legion Post 254 led the country with the highest move out percentage of any state in 2011. • Data from the IRS shows in 2009, Illinois experienced a net loss of people to 42 states including each of its neighbors – Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa ... not just to the south. Glass half full On the bright side, let’s give kudos to those businesses in Illinois that are still employing folks and not following the same path as BOMAG. While some say our state is beyond the point of no return, there is always hope. The uphill battle is not an easy one for our elected leaders. A turn around will be possible only if we change our ways and take a few lessons from those other states who are stealing our jobs and our residents. Good luck to my old friends at BOMAG!

MCNABB — Putnam County Junior High School coach Chris Walker admits he can’t keep a secret. When the idea came up to honor Paige Veronda last year with a special Pink Night in honor of her mother, Pam Veronda who passed away from breast cancer, he was excited about the plan and knew he could not wait to spill the beans. “I’m not very good about keeping secrets,” Walker said. “I told Paige we were going to do something special for her this year, but I didn’t tell her exactly what or anything specific like that. Then the more she would ask me I would give her a clue here and there and finally said the heck with it. So I just told her. She was pretty touched by it. She’s a good kid.” Sept. 9 was set as Pink Night and opponents Midland Junior High School got into the spirit of things as well. Special pink shirts were ordered and worn by both teams and a lot of their fans. The officials for the night even wore special pink shirts and donated their salaries back to the cause. The Lady Pumas had pink bases, pink shoes strings and pink batting helmets. There were pink banners hung in the outfield. The concession stand monies from the game even went to the

Monies raised from all of the effort was going to be given in a donation for breast cancer awareness. Paige Veronda was pretty impressed with all the efforts that everyone had gone to with this event. “It was really a shock to me, a real shock,” said Veronda. “It has been kind of overwhelming, and I am really happy about it. I really like the idea of it. Mr. Walker told us last year but we didn’t know the exact date, and he told us that about a week ago.” Veronda admitted that with her family having a lot of losses to cancer the event has made her feel better about seeming to fight back with regards to her family’s situation. Many of her teammates
agreed this was a great way to support a cause and raise awareness. The Pink Game was as exciting as the pregame activities with the Lady Pumas tying and knocking in the winning runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to win against Midland by a score of 4-3. The Lady Pumas had Lindsay DiazDeLeon reach base on an error with one out in the 7th inning. DiazDeLeon stole second and third base and C.C. Davis also drew a walk and stole second base on the same play. Veronda came in and crushed a ball to right center field that bounced over the fence for a ground rule double, driving in the tying run. Olivia Holmes followed with a single,
ending up at second base where Carleigh Wellenreiter laid down a perfect bunt and reached first base on a fielder’s choice. With the bases loaded, Alivia Resurrecion drilled a hard ground ball to the second baseman. Veronda broke home on the play and beat the throw to win the game. Davis pitched a complete game for the win, throwing nine strike outs and giving up only two base on balls. DiazDeLeon went two for four with four stolen bases while Resurrecion also went two for four. Veronda went one for four, with the double and two RBI. The Lady Pumas are currently hosting Regional this week at the Swaney campus.

MCNABB — The Putnam County High School Lady Panthers had a sterling week winning two homes meets at their home course of Edgewood. On Sept. 11, the Lady Panthers took on the Lady Bruins of St. Bede High School. Playing on the front nine at Edgewood, a par 38, the home team won by a score of 201-2016. Leading the charge for the team was Kelsey Grosenbach and Carly Gonet who both shot 48. Stephanie Wilson followed with a 51 and Tara Doyle shot a 54. For St. Bede, Gabby Mendoza was medalist for the meet shooting a 45. Mendoza was followed by Aiko Mendoza with a 51, Sydney Eustice with a 52 and Tess Montez with a 58. Lady Panther Head coach Eric Ciucci was again happy with the team’s performance despite their less than
best efforts. “I think the girls will tell you tonight was a bit of a struggle for us on our home course,” Ciucci said. “This is a very good St. Bede team, and the outcome of the meet was in jeopardy up until our last group came in off the course. We were very happy that the girls pushed through some of the challenges they had tonight and were still able to post four solid scores to win the meet. Luckily we have some seasoned players who are showing that they can deal with those challenges on a night when things don’t seem to be going their way. That poise and leadership can be a difference maker when we get into the postseason in October.” The Lady Panther record is now 7-1 on the year. On Sept. 9, the Lady Panthers took on the Lady Mallards of Henry. Playing the front nine again at home, a par 38, the Panthers dominated the Mallards 216-268.
Medalist for the game was the Panthers’ Gonet with a 47. Following her was Grosenbach with a 55 and Doyle and Lauren Bauer with 57 each. For Henry, Tiffany Lequia shot a 60 and Kelsey Pieper shot a 66. They were followed up by Sam Killen with a 68 and Kayla Gladd with a 74. On a hot night in McNabb, Ciucci was pleased with his team’s play. “Carly was able to post a good medalist round for us again on a very hot weather night,” he said. “Tara and Kelsey continued to post solid scores in the top four for our team and Lauren Bauer was able to give us a good number four player score tonight. However as a team we realize that we still have a lot of work to do in order to be prepared for the postseason this October.” The Lady Panthers will be on the road next week to play at Plano High School on Sept. 23.
