Each year, Master Gardeners from the U of I Extension and 4-H visit Putnam County Elementary School to teach fifth-graders about growing herbs and vegetables during their six-week cool-weather gardening project.

Students just keep growing; so does their school garden Yearly gardening project is always popular with kids

BY DAVE COOK For the Putnam County Record HENNEPIN — A popular program for the past eight years at Putnam County Elementary School proves as much can be learned outside the classroom as inside.

During these years, fifth-graders have begun their new school year with “Gardening: Seeds to Harvest,” a cool-weather outdoor gardening project sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension in conjunction with 4-H and the Illinois Valley Herb Guild.

Master Gardeners pay weekly visits over the course of six weeks to guide the students through the entire process of growing a success-

ful garden. Topics covered include garden preparation, soil conditions and types, weeds, good and bad insects, fruits and vegetables, and harvesting.

“Our Master Gardeners are here to teach you about gardening, and for the next six weeks they will come visit you each week to help you plant a garden, weed a garden and watch your garden grow. Then you’ll get to eat your garden,” said Anne Scheel, program coordinator with the U of I Extension and 4-H. She then tur ned the program over to Master Gardeners/Naturalists Sharon Gallup, Barb Dahlbach, Gay Kyle, Connie Stetson, Sandy Miller, Francis Morse and Amy Moore, who then directed the class outside.

D a l h b a c h s a i d s h e ’s b e e n impressed by the number of students she’s met in public, often several years later, who seem to remember everything they’ve learned from her about gardening.

“Once there was a boy at one of

my library programs who I thought I was going to have to ask to sit down. I was afraid he was going to give away all of my information before I’d even started the program because he’d remembered everything,” she said.

Dahlbach told another story of a student who told her how thankful her grandfather was after she’d been able to use what she’d learned in class to plant and maintain his garden for him after he’d gotten sick.

“She did it all by herself, and that meant more than anything to him.

He was so proud of her,” she said.

Several of the students in Josie Hall’s class have previously experienced gardening with their families and already know the pleasures of growing their own food.

“I like touching the dirt and especially getting to eat the broccoli after we grow it; it’s my favorite,” student Brooklin Brown said.

See GARDEN, Page 3

Continued from Page 2 As the students gathered around the three small box gardens, one for each fifth-grade class, the Master Gardeners wasted no time in getting to work. Weeding was, unsurprisingly, the first task the class faced.

The instructors identified the weeds within the garden for the students, taking care to protect the herbs still thriving from last year’s planting. One featured a bushy growth of mint and the others chives.

“Are we going to spray? No, we’re going to have an organic garden, so that means everyone’s going to use their hands,” Gallup told the stu-

always enjoy it,” Hall said.

After several years with the elementary school program, as well as with the growing success of their other community gardening programs, the Master Gardeners are seeing their work blossom. Each year, they see more children who have some gardening experience and who are always eager to learn more.

“We appreciate that we have the opportunity to work with other organizations in our community.

The U of I Extension office brings their expertise and engages students in hands-on activities that provides our students with a priceless lifelong skill they can benefit from for the rest of their life,” PCES Principal Courtney Balestri said.

Gardens have typically featured crops of mixed lettuces, kale, Swiss chard, radishes, spinach, onions and snow peas. Teachers select two students a day to go outside and water the garden between visits from the Master Gardeners.

4 Granville Legion to host breakfast Oct. 13

PUTNAM COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

PC Schools ‘ahead of the curve’ with mandated plans and state policies State owes district much less than normal

BY DAVE COOK For the Putnam County Record

Photo contributed

Granville American Legion Commander Bill Haage (left) and Financial Officer Phil Euler (right) are shown preparing for the Legion’s homemade pancake and sausage breakfast. The breakfast will be served at the Granville American Legion from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13. Area residents are invited to come and enjoy breakfast. The Legion is at 209 N. McCoy in Granville.

GRANVILLE — During its Sept. 16 meeting, the Putnam County School Board was informed by Superintendent Carl Carlson that the district is “ahead of the curve” compared to other area school districts in regard to newly mandated plans and policies.

A new threat assessment plan was approved by the board, and Carlson said the training that district staff participated in at Northern Illinois University last year resulted in them being well prepared for the new state mandate.

He added the basics of the plan largely mirror what was provided to them during the visit to NIU and that features of it have already been implemented. The plan will be reviewed yearly.

Another newly adopted policy required by law was the approval of a prevention of bullying policy. The policy, which appears in all district handbooks, was provided through

the Press Plus service from the Illinois Association of School Boards.

“Press Plus has helped us stay efficient with this,” Carlson said.

Press Plus is a full-maintenance subscription policy service designed to help school districts keep their policies and manuals current.

The board will be discussing the potential addition of a school resource officer within the district and the possible levy that could fund it.

Special education update The board approved the district’s workload plan for special education staff for the second year. The regional office of education requires the plan, which Carlson said is intended to help support staff, ensure proper resources and prevent burnout.

The district currently has two open positions in special education that are being filled by substitutes. One position is at the high school and the other is at the primary school. Carlson commended their dedication and commitment, but added they have limited availability. He said special education positions are the most needed in the state.

For those who are eligible to vote but have not yet registered, they must do so prior to Feb. 18, 2020, in order to be eligible to vote in the general primary election to be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2020.

People may register at the Putnam County Clerk’s Office or with any of the county’s precinct committee persons or other county deputy registrars.

Finances Carlson reported the state owes the district a total of $25,624.12 in mandated funding. Saying it’s much less than what’s become normal, the amount included almost $22,000 for early childhood education costs, nearly $500 for the Illinois Free Lunch Program and more than $3,000 for driver’s education expenses.

The next meeting of the Putnam County School Board is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 21.

Congratulations Angie Heckman

Marcano pleads guilty to criminal damage to property

BY KIM SHUTE Shaw Media HENNEPIN — The man who destroyed a McNabb apartment while he held police at bay in a seven-hour standoff in February has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of criminal damage to property.

Billy J. Marcano, 32, now living in the Chicago suburbs, was sentenced in Putnam County Circuit Court on Sept. 26 to a year of probation along with $3,864 in restitution and $1,449 in fines.

He was credited with 101 days he had served in county jail. Marcano was released in May.

On Feb. 5, Marcano allegedly hacked his way through the door to a restaurant adjacent to his apartment, which was also owned by the restaurant owner. For the remainder of the day, Marcano held off officers who attempted to get him to come out of the residence, while he demolished appliances and fixBilly J. tures inside.

M a rc a n o i n i t i a l Marcano ly was considered unfit for trial, having to be heavily restrained during his initial court appearance. However, after a twomonth stay in a secure treatment facility, he was deemed fit to proceed with his case.

Marcano initially was charged with burglary, but that charge was dismissed in exchange for his guilty plea to the lesser charge.

Monday for Wednesday’s edition.

The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (Tri-DENT) issued the following statement on Friday, Sept. 27: ••• The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (Tri-DENT) is currently investigating the sale and use of “lookalike” street-level Xanax that being bought and sold in the area on the black market.

It is believed that a large amount of “look-alike” Xanax are being produced by a local homemade pill press and the actual narcotics contained within these homemade pills are unknown and potentially very dangerous.

Users of these “look-alike” Xanax (or Xanny Bars, as they are commonly referred to) may not realize the street drug they are buying from a dealer contains a potentially lethal compound of unknown narcotics, such as fentanyl, and/or other opiates or synthetic opiates.

These pills may look like a prescription Xanax, but the internal properties of these pills are varying. During the investigation, it was learned that these illegal

pills were causing medical problems for several local users, including but not limited to, signs of overdosing, similarly to an opioid overdose, from a single pill.

Alprazolam (Xanax) is a drug whose effects include significant depression of the central nervous system, anti-anxiety properties and sedation. Since fentanyl is powerful in such minute quantities — a dose the size of a pen tip is enough to induce an overdose — cutting alprazolam with fentanyl is a cheap and effective way of increasing the sedating strength of the pill, while simultaneously reducing the amount of actual Xanax needed to cause a high.

Fentanyl has been responsible for many deaths in the past several years in the Illinois Valley. The combination of Xanax and fentanyl (as well as other opioids and depressants such as alcohol) is particularly dangerous because of the phenomenon of respiratory depression, in which a person’s breathing is drastically slowed and sometimes stopped.

If you believe that you are witnessing an opioid-related overdose, look for the following three symptoms: constricted pupils, unconsciousness and respiratory depression (identifiable by examining

Immediately call 911 for emergency medical personnel, and then place the person in the recovery position. If the person stops breathing, begin administering CPR right away.

We urge the community to keep in mind that the illegal narcotics market is always expanding so criminal organizations can make a profit. Criminals are always looking for a way to produce their product cheaper and easier. This, unfortunately, comes at the expense of our youths’ health and well-being.

We urge parents to talk to their children and have open, honest communications about the deadly consequences of drug abuse and to encourage our youths to make good decisions to live a healthy life in the future.

Again, this announcement is for street-level Xanax and not ones that have been prescribed by a doctor or obtained from a pharmacy.

LaSalle woman kicks off run for Congress SHAW MEDIA

LASALLE — The chairwoman of the LaSalle County Democratic Party is running for Congress.

Dani Brzozowski, of LaSalle, made her official announcement at Camden Bar in LaSalle.

A former small business owner of Sweet Sadie’s Playspace in LaSalle, she describes herself as a community leader and activist.

She said she wants to fight for “individuals Dani and families who are Brzozowski not being correctly represented on Capitol Hill right now.”

She will be vying for a seat in the Illinois 16th Congressional District, which is held by Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon. Kinzinger defeated Democratic challenger Sara Dady, of Rockford, in 2018 by a margin of 60 percent to 40 percent.

Kinzinger has served five terms in

the U.S. House. Brzozowski said she will fight for affordable health care, protecting the environment and creating jobs, among other goals.

She lists social justice as one of her values, stating she will fight to protect and empower immigrants’ safety and security, as well as the rights of LGBTQ+ communities.

She also said she will fight for the rights of all women and “maintain their ability to make personal decisions about their bodies and their health without interference from the government.”

Growing up in an Army family, Brzozowski said her background is in nonprofit management.

Brzozowski was elected LaSalle County Democratic chairwoman in 2018, running on a platform of inclusivity and accessibility. She is a graduate of LaSalle-Peru High School and Purdue University. She lived in Chicago for 10 years, before moving back to LaSalle.

Played in all 50 states and with more than 15,000 courts and growing, pickleball was invented in 1965 on an island close to Seattle. Named for the dog, Pickle, who was constantly in attendance, it’s a great way to meet and socialize with others, as well as to get exercise.

It’s played at all levels, just like tennis, so there’s always room for any skill level. Those not familiar with the rules or how to play can stop by the courts any night and there is sure to be someone playing who will help.

The district is excited to see these courts being used and the growing number of participants.

LASALLE

LASALLE — On Sept. 6, Master Gardener volunteer Barb Dahlbach of Toluca received a well-deserved University of Illinois Extension State Master Gardener Sustained Excellence Award.

The award was given during the annual State Master Gardener Conference held this year in Moline. The State Master Gardener Sustained Excellence Award recognizes previous State Outstanding Master Gardener

Award winners who have continued to develop in their Master Gardener career with new responsibilities and initiatives, and those whose breadth and depth of involvement in the program is exemplary and has continued on that level since receiving the Outstanding Master Gardener Award.

Each person nominated is an exceptional example to Master Gardeners within their county and unit, as well as to others in the state.

Dahlbach has been an Illinois Master Gardener since 1996. In that time, she has won the State Master Gardener Teamwork Award for the

“Healthy Gardening” Project (2015), the State Master Gardener Teamwork Award for the “Seeds to Harvest” Project (2016) and the Outstanding Master Gardener Award (2017). In March of 2019, she was awarded a “Know More Grow More” mini-grant for the Healthy Gardening Project, a project she has chaired since 2011, and was selected in April of 2019 to be a member on the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener State Advisory Committee representing the Northwest Region. In her spare time, she loves throwing seed sorting parties and being with her grandchildren.

OTTAWA

Reddick Mansion will present ‘Ghosts of Ottawa Past’ Oct. 11-12

OTTAWA — On Friday, Oct. 11, and Saturday, Oct. 12, the Reddick Mansion Association will reprise its “Ghosts of Ottawa Past” program with some new and different stories.

The guided tour will begin in the East Parlors of the candle-lit Reddick Mansion where participants will “attend” a Victorian funeral. After the funeral, the group will take an approximate quarter-mile outside walk around Washington Park. The tour will include an overheard conversation about Chester Weger and the Starved Rock murders, and the story of the last public hanging

in LaSalle County. During the walk, other famous and infamous ghostly characters from Ottawa’s past may also appear.

Two tours will be given each night — one at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m. After each of the walking tours, the groups will return to the Reddick Mansion for hot apple cider and refreshments.

The cost is $20 per person and, due to the subject matter, participants should be at least 12 years old. For reservations, call the Reddick Mansion at 815-433-6100 or visit www.reddickmansion.org.

Each tour is limited to 20 people, and reserva-

tions are strongly suggested. All money raised will be used for the preservation and renovation of the Reddick Mansion.

The Reddick Mansion, at 100 W. Lafayette St., was built in 1858, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Sites.
