Andersen trial date delayed Jury trial in Ladd woman’s death no longer scheduled to begin Oct. 16

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com

FIRST STEP: GIVE Madison Keegan, a junior at PCHS commemorated her first day as a member of the school’s Rotary-sponsored Interact Club by donating at their community blood drive Friday, Sept. 15. The blood drive is just one of the many ways members help support their school, community and fellow students throughout the year.

STORY ON PAGE 2. (PCR photo/Dave Cook)

HENNEPIN — Both sides of the Clifford A. Andersen Jr. court case agreed Thursday, Sept. 14, to changes being made to the trial date.

Andersen, 67, of Standard faces the charge of concealment of a homicide death, a Class 3 felony, after allegedly finding the body of Deborah Dewey, 62, of Ladd at a vacant home on Fifth Street in Standard. He allegedly wrapped Dewey’s body in a blanket and tied it up with rope and duct tape before burying it in a shallow grave. Andersen is Dewey’s brother-in-law and lived near the vacant home.

Dewey’s body was found by officials in a shallow grave at the vacant property in Standard on Sept. 12, 2016 — 20 days after she was reported missing on Aug. 23. It was reported that police were alerted to the Standard property following an interview with a person who had knowledge about the case. One day after Dewey’s body was found in Standard, police arrested Andersen.

Andersen is being represented by the Parker and Parker law firm in Peoria. His attorney, Drew Parker, requested that because of the thousands of pages of discovery information supplied to him before Andersen’s pre-trial hearing on Sept. 14 in Putnam County Court that the previously scheduled Oct.16 jury trial be stricken and rescheduled.

Student club promotes community involvement and leadership

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — Although there are many ways volunteers can help improve their communities, there’s a club for Putnam County High School (PCHS) students which prepares them to not only enjoy a life-long commitment to helping others, but to also provide the necessary leadership skills to guide others in their commitments.

There are currently 25 members in the PCHS Interact Club. Chartered in 2008, the club is sponsored by the Granville Rotary. Some of its upcoming projects for this school year include the recently held Red Cross blood drive; orga-

• TRIAL Continued from Page 1 According to Putnam County State’s Attorney Christina Judd-Mennie, the discovery information mostly pertained to banking and Veteran’s Administration records and she said any information regarding DNA evidence was still pending.

Judge Thomas A. Keith struck the October trial date and set the new jury trial date for May 7, although both the defense and prosecutor said they’d prefer to have that moved to March or April. Because of the reassignment of judges which will take place at the beginning of the year, it is still unknown which judge will try the case and any requests for new dates or venues will have to be decided by next year’s incoming judge.

Andersen’s next court appearance will be a pre-trial motion hearing on Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. at the Putnam County courthouse and the deadline for filing motions prior to that appearance will be Oct. 19.

nizing the community Halloween party at the McNabb Fire Station; developing a community or international service project in November; helping to distribute poinsettias to local senior citizens in December; and attending a leadership camp in March.

“Being in the club benefits both students and the community by providing opportunities to participate in community, school, and international service,” PCHS Interact Club faculty advisor Helen Lenkaitis said.

As the students gain experience through their involvement, they also build their resumes and are able to demonstrate to scholarship committees, colleges and future employers their commit-

ment to community service and responsibility.

“Being a member looks good on college applications, but they also do fun things and it feels good to be able to help my community,” Madison Keegan, a brand new member, said.

Ryan Caulfield, a senior, has been a member for four years and said he’s already attending Rotary meetings and will join Rotary as soon as he’s able.

“I enjoy being an active part of my community and seeing how sometimes the smallest things can make the largest difference in someone’s life; it’s seeing their smiles. It’s also taught me to be comfortable speaking with all types of people and it’s shown me

how we’re all the same,” Caulfield said.

Members of the more than 20,000 Interact Clubs can claim almost 500,000 members who elect their own boards, choose which projects to pursue and also determine how to see them through to completion.

Sponsored by the Rotary, there are also opportunities for the two clubs to partner and interact.

“Our Rotary Club is proud of the leadership and commitment shown by the student boards and members of both Interact Clubs we sponsor at PCJH and PCHS. These will be tomorrow’s leaders, and we know the future is in good and caring hands,” Scott Shore, Granville Rotary liaison to the PCHS Interact Club, said.

USDA issues crop progress report Wet spring slowed growth, but overall area crops in good condition

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — Although a cool, damp spring got things off to a slow start, local farmers, area experts and the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Progress and Condition report show that Illinois Valley crops will likely provide an ample harvest.

According to the Sept.

11 USDA report, while the statewide averages for temperatures and precipitation levels were below normal, nearly the entire previous week was suitable for fieldwork.

Dent corn, which accounts for most of the corn grown nationally and is the variety processed for a multitude of products, was reported to be at 82 percent. At this time last year, dent corn was at 90 percent and the 2012-

2016 five-year average is 88 percent.

Last year, Illinois’ mature corn was at 39 percent at this point, compared to 26 percent this year. Fifty-six percent of the corn was rated at good to excellent and only 12 percent was considered in poor or very poor condition.

“I feel the wet spring definitely set the maturity of our corn back and our later maturities will probably be affected more, including the 112-day to the 120-day varieties,” the U of I Extension’s Daryle Wragge, Ag and Natural Resources coordinator for Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam counties, said.

Long-time Granville farmer Darrell Alleman said his 230 acres of untiled farmland was hit especially hard by the cool, wet spring.

“I had a terrible time getting a crop planted.

For a time I had about six acres of pond. It didn’t grow anything because it drowned, but other than that, what came up looks great. I had some of the same problems with my soybeans, but it was nothing like it was with the

corn. And because of the late start, I’ll probably be one of the last to harvest,” he said.

Soybean coloring and leaves dropping are roughly at the same percentages as last year and are only a few percentage points off of the five-year averages. Fifty-seven percent of soybean crops are rated as good to excellent with only 13 percent considered in poor or very poor condition.

“Soybean coloring or maturing is a little more difficult to project and various genetic variety traits can affect coloring rather than maturity. We’ve seen mature pods on green stems and varied leaves in the past. Coloring can sometimes be deceiving,” Wragge said.

This year’s soybeans seem to have a shorter overall height, but Wragge feels the pod count and internode length are acceptable. However, he added that Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome, a fungus which spreads through the soil and develops in cool, wet weather, is prevalent in many fields.

The USDA report con-

sidered 66 percent of the state’s pastures and ranges to be in fair to good condition with 30 percent rated as being of poor or very poor quality.

As many other farmers have previously reported, the Illinois Valley seems to be one of the most ideal areas for agriculture within the state.

“I feel our area is probably sitting with some of the highest yields in the state. Our area is rather small, though, because in my travels overall crop quality declines greatly within a 50-100 mile radius of Wenona,” Wragge said.

However, there are still many challenges our local farmers regularly face.

Wragge said there are many variations in early corn germination and in some cases population has also been a problem.

Despite the slow start to the 2017 agricultural season and the varied challenges, Wragge was confident the farmers of the Illinois Valley will come out on top.

“Four to five dollar corn and eleven to twelve dollar soybeans can overcome many issues,” he said.

HENNEPIN

IN BRIEF

Judge nullifies IDFPR proceedings

Upcoming pancake, sausage breakfasts

Appraiser wins appeal concerning Marquis Ethanol Plant HENNEPIN – Judge Sophia H. Hall of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill., granted Mark Pomykacz summary judgment against the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) on July 7.

Further, the court found that the IDFPR administrative proceedings against Pomykacz are null and void. The court vacated both the IDFPR reprimand and the fine. The full ruling is available at http://federalappraisal. com/pressreleasenullifiedidfprproceedings The IDFPR did not appeal the decision. This

case began in July 2013.

The ruling means that the IDFPR, the Illinois agency that regulates federally-related real estate appraisals, had no jurisdiction over Mark Pomykacz’s appraisal, which was prepared for the purpose of determining the proper property taxation of the Marquis Energy Ethanol Plant and litigation support. The appraisal included business, personal property, and real estate appraisal opinions.

The Circuit Court affirmed that the IDFPR regulatory jurisdiction was limited strictly to federally-related apprais-

als of real estate, which means appraisals prepared for the purpose of underwriting loans collateralized by real estate made by federally-regulated banks. Appraisals completed for property tax appeal purposes are not federally-related transactions, and business and personal property appraisals are not real estate appraisals.

“This ruling finally brings closure to a case that never should have started and that lasted years longer than it should have,” said Pomykacz. “Finally, I can begin to reclaim my good reputation. ... Not

only has the IDFPR caused substantial harm to me, it has caused substantial harm to my client and to thousands of taxpayers in Putnam County. The total losses caused by the IDFPR amount to millions of dollars.”

The case concerned an expert appraisal prepared

by Pomykacz of the Marquis Energy Ethanol Plant located in Hennepin, with value conclusions in 2008 and 2011. Pomykacz was hired by the Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC) as part of its appeal of and litigation concerning the property taxes on the plant.

PRINCETON – The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

PERSPECTIVE

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 • Putnam County Record / putnamcountyrecord.com

Football, at zenith, is dying A

merican football is at its zenith in terms of money and hype. The game dominates the airwaves on weekends, and now throughout the week as well. Big college programs are building Taj Mahal-like locker UNDERSTANDING rooms for their pampered, but unpaid, players. Katy, Texas, (pop.

ILLINOIS 14,000) just opened a $72 million high school stadium.

Jim But under the glitzy surface, the Nowlan game is apparently dying. Moms are killing it.

My local rural high school, long an area football powerhouse, mustered only seven freshmen for the team this fall. No more freshman football games. The local JFL program for peewees is way down as well.

Numbers turning out for football are down overall across the country in recent years, except in the South.

I come not to bury football, but to assess what is going on. Indeed, I couldn’t wait for the recent NFL Bears-Falcons opener. Watching a wide receiver leap improbably high to snag a 40-yard pass is indeed poetry in motion.

My fascination with the play of these great athletes is hard to resist, even though I remind myself some/many players are literally beating their brains out.

As I say, moms are killing football. They can’t avoid the media drumbeat, especially insistent this fall, about the medical findings that show brain damage to footballers. This is apparently the case even among some high school players, according to studies reported recently in the New York Times.

There have long been at least niggling concerns about safety. My dad wore a thin leather helmet to play high school football. By my unspectacular days on the field a generation later, we were wearing what seemed like huge plastic globes. I recall cloth strap netting inside that seemed to float the helmet around the head, as if to protect it.

The brain can be thought of as a large grapefruit, certainly in consistency. The three-pound, soft-tissue organ basically floats within a very thin shield of spinal fluid.

Nothing else about the human compares with it. The body is just a platform for the brain, where billions of delicate neurons dance intricately to give us Shakespeare, Mozart, Stephen Hawking, and you and me.

Studies show that brain damage — chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) — occurs not so much from concussions as from repeated blows to the head and body.

High school players are smaller and slower than the NFL brutes, so damage is undoubtedly less, though still to be found, say researchers.

Yet if more studies, and there will be such, show additional evidence of brain damage at the high school level, more moms, and dads, will steer their sons away from the playing field.

In rural America, that will necessitate even more cooperative shared teams among several small schools to come up with a respectable roster. That will blur the singular hometown connection to the sport, reducing excitement for the game, I am guessing.

I predict, hard to believe, that in 20 or 30 years, American tackle football will be a minor sport.

Yet the compelling need for tribal competition will not relent.

Football enthusiasts say few sports equal their game for teamwork and camaraderie. Baseball, for example, they say, has less of the multiple moving-part orchestration required in football, all requiring teamwork.

So, what might replace football as the centerpiece sport? Maybe soccer, which has been growing rapidly in popularity among both male and female athletes.

Or flag football? The Dixon, Ill., park district has for 35 years hosted a popular seven-player flag football league for as many as 21 teams of fellows ranging in age from out-of-school to 35 or so.

“I see flag football as an option,” Dixon recreation director Terry Shroyer tells me, who played the game in Dixon years ago.

Shroyer adds, however, that 7-on-7 touch football is becoming popular in Wisconsin. The game is played on a smaller field, without linemen or pads, and is mostly passing. He thinks that is where football may be headed.

Life goes on. But maybe not so much for tackle football, regardless of how it appears on the surface at present.

Illinois waits for Superman; does Amazon wear the cape?

J

eff Bezos can’t leap tall buildings in a single bound.

But Illinoisans are styling the Amazon CEO as a man from Krypton who – with a little luck – might find his spacecraft landing in our backyard.

What’s left unsaid is that Illinois’ destiny lies in its own hands.

It will not be determined by one business, one investment or one individual.

But it’s true that one of the globe’s corporate crown jewels wants to build its second headquarters. And residents downplay the significance of that investment at their own risk.

Amazon has issued a call for proposals from cities across the country. And the criteria the company has laid out so far match pretty well with what Chicago has to offer.

Major population center: check.

Proximity to an international airport: check. Access to major highways and arterial roads: check.

Access to mass transit: check. An enormous amount of office space at a decent price: check. Strong tech workforce: check.

Chicago is also a logistics hub – fitting nicely with Amazon’s core business – and is home to a media ecosystem capable of handling the company’s foray into film and television production.

Amazon’s plans to hire 50,000 workers at the new headquarters would single-handedly shift the city and state’s economic landscape. The largest employer in the Chicago area – the U.S. government – reported more than 42,000 full-time local employees last year.

Illinois’ population loss between July 2015 and July 2016 was 37,500 people. That was the worst decline in the nation.

In short, Amazon would bring a historic number of paychecks to a state with too few.

And downstate Illinoisans would be unwise to think that

COMMENTARY Austin Berg won’t impact their neck of the woods. The Amazon move has the potential to be a boon not just for Chicagoans, but for families from Crystal Lake to Kankakee to Carbondale.

Payroll tax revenue alone could net the state hundreds of millions of dollars a year, even if one assumes sweeteners from Springfield. And serving as home to an innovation giant can have serious benefits down the line.

Why not service the nation’s largest fleet of self-driving trucks in Effingham? Who says Belleville can’t be the drone capital of the Midwest? And could a south suburban Chicago airport – discussed for years – finally make fiscal sense to a private developer?

An investment like Amazon’s starts to make big dreams seem like real opportunities.

But there’s a problem. And it points to a much deeper issue with how Illinois treats businesses.

“A stable and business-friendly environment and tax structure will be high-priority considerations for the project,” Amazon’s request reads. Illinois’ business climate is neither stable nor friendly. It’s unstable and confiscatory, and it doesn’t appear to be getting better.

Illinois ranked No. 48 in the country for its lawsuit environment in a report released Sept. 12 by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform. “Chicago or Cook County” ranked as the worst local jurisdiction in the nation.

And don’t forget, lawmakers in July passed the largest permanent income tax hike in Illinois history. Notably, Bezos contributed $100,000 in 2010 to help defeat an

initiative in Amazon’s home state of Washington that would have created a state income tax.

That doesn’t mean Amazon won’t take all the goodies it can get. Its request for proposals is clearly courting cities for massive incentives. But Illinois has already given millions in tax breaks to Amazon in connection with its distribution centers, which have popped up across the state.

With so many small businesses struggling to get by, it’s not fair to give special tax favors to ease the burden of a global behemoth.

Instead of throwing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of special subsidies and tax incentives to land one megadeal, structural reforms to how the state treats businesses large and small would go a long way toward creating opportunities for Illinoisans from the ground up – headquarters or not.

To compete for Amazon’s new hub, Illinois is better off pursuing innovative, unique partnerships with the resources it already has at its disposal.

Might the company bite at a long sought-after deal for the Thompson Center? In its place, Amazon could build a 21st century Sears tower – fit for the new king of American retail. Policymakers should also work aggressively to develop a package of partnerships with local universities, leveraging private donations and endowments.

Clearly, Illinois and Chicago have a lot to sweep under the rug should Amazon come knocking.

But lawmakers should know this: Efforts to reform the state’s business climate would be a win for residents regardless of whether the dot-com giant comes to town.

Don’t let N.Y. billionaire influence soda tax revote

C

ook County residents and retailers overwhelmingly hate the sugary drink tax foisted on them last month.

No amount of money spent defending it is going to change that.

That’s why it would be prudent for Cook County commissioners to listen to their constituents instead of New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who is attempting to influence the outcome of a vote on a potential repeal of the penny-perounce tax.

Yes, commissioners are being given a second chance to do the right thing and undo the damage of their razor-thin decision from last November, when Taxer-inChief Toni Preckwinkle broke an 8-8 tie to approve the penny-perounce tax.

Nine votes will be needed to rescind the tax. If that happens, Preckwinkle, the County Board’s president, likely is to veto the repeal. Eleven votes then would be needed to override.

That won’t be easy, particularly with Bloomberg throwing his fortune around.

The world’s 10th-richest man

COMMENTARY Dan McCaleb according to Forbes magazine, Bloomberg is doing what he can to help keep Preckwinkle’s tax in place. He’s spent $5 million of his own money on an online and TV advertising campaign trying to change public opinion about the tax.

Perhaps more importantly, Bloomberg has vowed to help those commissioners who support the tax to get re-elected, despite its unpopularity.

An August poll of more than 1,100 registered voters in Cook County showed 87 percent of respondents disapproved of the tax, which adds $1.44 to the cost of a 12-pack of canned soda, and 68 cents to a 2-liter bottle.

Preckwinkle and other commissioners who voted for it claimed they did so for health reasons, saying sugary beverages such as soft drinks contribute to this country’s very real epidemic of obesity and

diabetes and the tax would act as a deterrent. Respondents to the poll weren’t buying it.

When asked why they thought the County Board approved the cola tax, 80 percent responded that it was to raise money and only 8 percent said it was related to health concerns.

Of course, Preckwinkle proved it’s nothing but a money grab last month when she tried to take millions of dollars from the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, which filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the sugary drink tax from taking effect. The lawsuit delayed enactment of the tax by a month but a judge eventually dismissed it.

Cook County commissioners don’t answer to Bloomberg. They answer to the voters who elected them to office. Cook County Board members would be wise to listen to them and not the carpetbagger from New York.

Lady Pumas win sectional; headed to state MCNABB — The Putnam County Pumas won the sectional championship game over Mendota Holy Cross on Sept. 16, 13-4. They will now play Sept. 22 in Bloomington in the state tournament.

“The girls did a great job of executing the game plan to a tee for the first four innings,” said coach Chris Walker.

“We wanted to get on early, run the bases hard and limit the strike zone to show more discipline in the batter’s box.”

Reise Zellmer went 4-4 at the plate, driving in two runs on a double, triple and two singles. She scored two runs, stole two bases and scored twice. Madelyn Torrance drove in three runs on a homer and a triple. She scored three times. Other hitting stars were Grace Ebel, who tripled, scored three times and stole three bases, and Zofia Uzella, who had two hits, stole a base, drove in a run and scored once.

“We did a great job of attacking pitches and laying off the bad ones,” added Walker. “Reise drove the ball where it was punched. She didn’t try to overswing and she made good contact. Madelyn did an exceptional job of waiting for the right pitch. The ball she crushed for a home run would have been over the fence in most other junior high fields.

Grace’s triple in the fourth drove in two much needed runs. Zofia is seeing the ball right now well.”

Kara Staley was the winning pitcher. “Kara did well in regrouping after their three-run inning and finished the game strong,” said Walker.

PC scored three runs in the first, three in the second, one in the third, four in the fourth, one in the fifth and PCR photo/Shannon Jenkins one in the seventh.

PRINCETON

Princeton DAR holds opening meeting for 2017-18 PRINCETON — The opening 2017-18 meeting of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was called to order on Sept. 2 by Chapter Regent Evalynn Blanco. The meeting was held at the Prouty Building with Gloria Flathorn, state regent, as guest and program presenter.

Flathom’s wide-ranging speech on DAR topics and information was preceded by the group’s singing “Illinois,” her chosen state song for her two-year term. Flathom was gifted with a postal sheet of butterflies, her state symbol.

DAR members will plant home pollinator gardens to increase the dwindling habitat of butterflies, bees, wasps and hummingbirds.

Youth speakers Bryant and Eliza Johnson from Fairway, Kan., presented selections to the group.

The teens represented the NCFCA, National Christian Forensics and Communications Association Speech and Debate League.

Names of seven prospective members, two associates and one transfer were introduced to the members.

Historian Diana Williamson announced two national awards: Nation-

al citation for outstanding accomplishments in attaining Chapter Achievement Award Level 1 for 2016 and Registrar General’s award for 100 percent perfect applications verified in 2016.

Members are encouraged to save food and non-food coupons to be mailed to military bases and to donate personal care items to the LaSalle Veterans Home. They are also encouraged to continue to save Labels for Education to help the schools supported by DAR, some dating their founding to World War I. Chapter members will also participate in the money-earning “Save Labels for Cash” from Sullivan’s Grocery.

Members should save Best Choice labels.

Information was shared on the new American Revolutionary War Museum in Philadelphia. NSDAR has donated 76 trees for the surrounding area, commemorating the “Spirit of ’76.”

Commemorative markers, placed by the Princeton DAR chapter for Aaron and Lydia Sturges, were noted during the August “Voices from Mount Bloom” cemetery presentations in Tiskilwa.
