A call for veterans Granville Public Library clerk Bernie Egan is shown with the library’s three photos of local World War I veterans. Pictured are Leo Janusick, who served in the U.S. Army from 1917 to 1919; William Tyler, an Army sergeant first class during World War I; and James Steele, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1917 to 1918. The library is hoping to expand its collection of local veterans photos before Veterans Day, particularly of any area World War I vets. Families with photos of their veterans, of any branch of service and war, are encouraged to share them with the library, as well as adding a short anecdote about their time in service.

Deputy addresses board about budget concerns

Circuit Clerk encourages board to keep up with fee legislation BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — Deputy Chad Haage shared his concerns with the Putnam County Board’s handling of their ongoing budget problems during the board’s Oct. 8 meeting. Haage took issue with rumors of the board wanting to reduce vacation hours; increased insurance costs and changes; the professional responsibilities faced by law enforcement and emergency dispatchers; the difference between courthouse employees and sheriff ’s office personnel; the high costs of funding the county’s Emergency Management Agency (EMA); the proposed public safety tax; and the board’s creation of “preventable mistakes” and their “incompetence and lack of financial awareness.” “In my opinion, you are attempting to climb out of this financial situation on the backs of the employees,” he said. Haage said that being a 24-hour-aday, seven-days-a week, 365-days-ayear law enforcement agency means the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office (PCSO) operates 100 percent of the time for 8,760 hours a year. “The courthouse operates clerical offices 1,729 hours a year. That is 19.8 percent of the time,” he said. “Each (deputy) works 12-hour shifts, nights, weekends, holidays, and are put in extremely high-stress situations. These individuals and our department cannot be and should not be compared to a clerical employee or office. I am in no way degrading the clerical employees or office, I’m just pointing out the difference.” He continued by saying the board was looking to cut employees from the sheriff ’s office, and that the department is understaffed as it is, adding they need an additional two deputies at a minimum. He also described the types of dangerous situations deputies often find themselves in, including domestic situations, fights, drug overdoses, burglaries, neighbor disputes and many others. “There are law enforcement departments that will not allow their officers to go to these situations alone, they must always have backup. Does that happen here? Not as often as it

Putnam County Sheriff’s Office should,” he said. Haage was also critical of how much the county has been spending on its’ Emergency Management Agency, saying it could be done on a smaller scale and adding that the county hasn’t levied for it in years. “There seems to be a more practical way for EMA to operate. One way would be to combine EMA services with another county or perhaps more than one county. Another option that’s been proposed to this board is for EMA to operate under the direction of the sheriff. This has been accomplished in many other counties,” he said. He continued with a comparison of the services provided by both the Putnam County EMA and the sheriff ’s office. “According to figures I was provided by one of the dispatchers, the PCSO handled 7,160 calls for dispatch from Jan. 1, 2018, through Sept. 30, 2018. Can you provide me with the amount of calls EMA handled in that time? It’s probably safe to say it’s not even close,” he told board members. Haage also addressed the accusations from the public that the department’s wages are too high. There is a proven and significant wage disparity between the PCSO and other area law enforcement agencies that shows this isn’t true. “The men and women that serve and protect this county are a great group of people. They maintain their required hours, they report to duty on their time off, if needed and other matters that you as a board and the public do not see,” he said, later adding “I don’t think you as a group have presented your best effort.” Following Haage’s statements, Putnam County Board member William Holmes asked how much Haage was paid, and Putnam County Board Chairman Steve Malavolti told him

he should have addressed the county’s finance committee rather than the county board.

In other board news: • Putnam County Circuit Clerk Cathy Oliveri recommended the board keep up the state legislation regarding fines and fees. If a fine or fee has a range, such as $100-250, the county can only charge the lowest amount unless they have a resolution on file pertaining to that specific fine or fee. The amount of revenue provided to the county could be significant, as Oliveri said the amount of new fines and fees have recently increased from 12 to 115 because of new legislation. • The board approved an intergovernmental agreement to share county highway engineering services with Marshall County. • The board approved a new food sanitation ordinance after Putnam County Health Department official Kurt Kuchle announced there will be a new review scale for establishments serving food. “There will be no more 100-point scale used. Instead, you’ll be able to read the complete reports and specific violations. This will provide for more transparency, and we’ll be conducting a lot of education until this takes effect on Jan. 1,” he said. • The North Central Illinois Economic Development Corporation’s Ivan Baker reported that 600,000 people have left the state in the past eight years. He also said his efforts to sell the attributes of the Illinois Valley to corporate investors was nearly successful and may still be. According to Baker, the area was one of two finalists chosen by an international company. They had been expected to announce their decision in August, but President Trump’s tariffs and decreased sales “spooked them,” and they’ve now delayed the project for a year.

PUTNAM COUNTY BOARD

Chairman Steve Malavolti’s response to concerns raised by Deputy Chad Haage BY STEVE MALAVOLTI Chairman, Putnam County Board In response to Deputy Haage: The county board understands the frustration Deputy Haage expressed on the financial issues in the county. However, it would’ve been more constructive if he would have presented his concerns to the finance committee as whole, in a face-to-face discussion, instead of the way he did at the regular board meeting, which mainly came across as finger-pointing. I disagree with the comments he presented because not every service the county provides to the public provides a means of generating income. The county board or finance committee is not looking at cutting vacation. Vacation is a set benefit and is earned throughout the year at different rates per employee. However, the county does stress to take vacation in the year that it earned so that it allows the employee to recharge and rest fully for the demands of the job. It’s up the department heads to manage vacation time and when it is taken. It’s also up to the department heads to manage their office according on documentation of working hours and taking comp time if it is so authorized. The county board does not and will

not manage office functions. The county board can only control budgetary spending and set courthouse hours. As for insurance, based off past audits, county health insurSteve ance costs have doubled Malavolti since 2008 when it was Chairman, $194,647 and is currentPutnam ly at $378,554 for 2018. County Board The county has not discussed insurance at the current finance meetings, but that does not mean it may be looked at in the coming years. As for the ballot question for the increase of the General Fund, all money levied has a specific purpose. The current levy for the county in 2018 is $1,801,000. From full levy amount, the General and Corporate only levy receives $1,092,500. Within the Corporate levied amount, the General Fund receives $555,000 for daily operations such as payroll, health insurance, operating materials and equipment purchases. The rest of the county revenue has to be made up through other means. Since 2014 there has been a decline in revenue. Last year’s spending for the General Fund was at $3,000,000, which was less than the previous four years. Within the General Fund,

Public Safety includes the Sheriff ’s Office and Emergency Management and is the largest portion of the county budget. Both are out of the General Fund, but primarily, the Sheriff ’s Office and County Dispatching are the largest. Emergency Management expenses in 2017 was $55,719, where the Sheriff department was at roughly $840,424 over four line expenditures. So when a decision was made to ask the public if they were in favor to increase the Corporate Fund rate from .37 to .67, the extra revenue will automatically be in support of the funding for Public Safety, for this is the largest part of the county’s budget. Emergency management is a necessity for all county governments to have and having set plans in place to receive funds from FEMA. All federal dollars for disasters will funnel through Emergency Management. The Emergency Management Building is an asset to the county and is utilized by many entities. The county board is always looking for a better way to make Emergency Management more efficient to run and to utilize the building. The building was mainly built with grant money and is fully paid for. It’s a fully operational command post when the need arises. Since June, the county finance

committee has requested all unnecessary spending cease. Each of the board members, to my knowledge, hasn’t taken any pay for attending meetings. We are here because the job needs to get done. Also, at that time in June, the board presented all department heads that everything will be looked at for next year’s budget and spending. One in a financial managerial position that’s fiscally responsible cannot not look at everything the county spends money on. Desperate times call for desperate measures, the finance committee must do what’s best for the county finances, but yet try to keep the level of service to the public, especially with safety. Again, it was sad to see a missed opportunity to promote the sheriff department and the cost savings that it does repeatedly, instead of pointing fingers and dwelling over why we got here. Every county is experiencing a revenue shortage, and Putnam County is not the only one. Yet this year, it looks like we didn’t have to make tax anticipation loans to keep the lights on and keep the people safe, which is a good thing. The county board will always strive to stay out of debt, to think outside the box, and be as efficient as possible for the taxpayer.

UPDATED BIO BLITZ RESULTS

Hennepin’s Dixon Waterfowl Refuge is home to 883 species

firsthand,” Anna Braum, a TWI ecologist, said in a press release. “We learned some lessons from the first Bio Blitz that we used to improve this year’s event, and people really enjoyed exploring the refuge, observing new species, and contributing to the data collection with fellow nature enthusiasts.” she said. During the first Bio Blitz in 2015, researchers eventually tallied 675 species. Shortly after the 2018 event that number was easily passed with a preliminary total of 779. A brief time later the confirmed total rose higher to 792. However, even those numbers would come to be surpassed. TWI recently announced the official tally has reached 883 species. The sheer density of wildlife returning to the area is impressive, especially considering the numbers should keep climbing as the years-long rehabilitation process is ongoing. “We’re also thrilled that with more participants searching, we were able to catalogue more of the refuge’s biodiversity,” TWI’s Vera Leopold said. Another addition to this year’s event was the use of the iNaturalist species identification app. “We thought we’d try iNaturalist as an alternate form of data collection people could use,” TWI’s Phoebe Thatcher said.

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — The tally for this summer’s Bio Blitz species count at Hennepin’s Dixon Waterfowl Refuge has continued to climb and gives reason to celebrate the site’s progress in returning to its natural state. For the past several years, the previously drained farmland has been undergoing its transformation with help from The Wetlands Initiative (TWI), a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring Midwestern wetlands. Ecologists, researchers and 90 citizen scientists gathered on Aug. 3-4 to conduct a species count to gauge the site’s biodiversity. During the 24-hour event, volunteers traversed the 3,000-acre site to identify as many species as possible, including plants, insects, reptiles, fungi, arachnids, birds, mammals, amphibians and fish. “We had two goals: to increase our scientific knowledge of biodiversity at the refuge, as well as to give area residents an opportunity to experience the refuge’s unique plants and animals

• SPECIES Continued from Page 5 “It ended up working beyond our wildest dreams, with 667 confirmed species and 1,346 individual observations. It was awesome to watch the results rolling in after the Blitz.” Of the 413 plant species compiled, 16 haven’t been previously recorded at the refuge. Some highlights were dwarf blazing stars, a rare species not often found in Illinois, and other rarities included prairie onion, swamp loosestrife, and dozens of others. One hundred bird species have been identified residing in one of the site’s many ecosystems,

including 15 that have returned to the area since 2015. These include Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Great-Hor ned Owls, American Kestrels, state-endangered Upland Sandpipers, state-endangered Common Gallinules, which are medium-sized marsh dwellers, and the state-threatened Least Bittern, a small member of the heron family. Regarding insects, 293 species were identified, including the rusty patched bumblebee, an endangered species. Other insects found were 141 species of moths; 12 species of ants; 31 varieties of butterflies; 17 types of dragonflies or damselflies; 24 species of beetles; 30 types of bees or wasps; eight arachnid species; and 38 other

members of the insect family. Thirty-four varieties of fungi and slime molds were found, including one that is the second ever recorded in the state and the only one seen in the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes region. Sixteen species of amphibians and reptiles were documented; seven types of fish; and 12 members of the mammal family were also identified. TWI recently conducted their annual seed harvest at the site on the cool and rainy Saturday of Oct. 6. These seeds will now be dried, sorted and planted at different locations throughout the site before the warmth of next spring begins. “With our unusually large group

of about 50 people, we were still able to collect a huge amount of seed of 16 different native species. There were 20 students volunteering from IVCC to get extra credit, and we’d like to thank their biology professor Lauri Carey, who also attended the Bio Blitz,” Leopold said.

HENRY

HENRY — Women interested in research into their colonial ancestry are invited to supply information on the first three or four generations, which will then be tracked to see if they lead to a Revolutionary War ancestor. The goal would be membership in the Chief Senachwine Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The process requires supplying as many of the names, birth dates, death dates, and locations known about one’s parents, maternal and paternal grandparents, and maternal and paternal great-grandparents as possible. Often, an interested party might say that her parent, grandparent or great-grandparent came in the 1850’s or 1900’s — too late, the person believes, to trace back to a Revolutionary ancestor.

However, often the “late-comer” has married someone with roots tracing back to Revolutionary times, and the DAR connection can be proved. The DAR national motto of all DAR chapters is God, Home and Country. Special interests are education, historic preservation and patriotism. Women in the DAR devote thousands of hours of service in their communities. To supply such vital statistics as mentioned above, and call 815-3031034 for further directions. Any prospective member who is accepted into DAR before February 2019 will be awarded the title of charter member of the Chief Senachwine Chapter in Henry. It is considered an honor by many to join in the first year of a new chapter and earn the label of charter member.

Octoberfest set for Oct. 20 in Henry HENRY — The Meeting Place will host the 2018 annual Octoberfest from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. Crafts and vendor booths will be down both sides of the sidewalks on the 300 and 400 block of Edward Street. On Second Street, there will be a cruise-in. If the weather permits and you have a classic or an antique car, bring it out and enjoy the festivities. The Meeting place at 415 Edward St., Henry, will have German food.

The goal is to raise over $10,000 to help local children to live, learn and play to their maximum potential. Tickets are $50 per person, $80 per couple or $350 for a table of 10, and include dinner, entertainment and one drink coupon per person. The resort is also offering discounted rooms for the weekend.

The depression-era tale follows two boys and Midwestern townspeople as they are lured by impossible dreams to “Cooger and Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show,” a mysterious carnival with dark secrets. With dreams of regaining lost youth, beauty, and promises, they discover the cost of wishes can be the stuff of nightmares. The cast includes Chad Brokaw of Princeton as Lightning Rod Salesman, Adam Paden of Peru as Will Halloway, Patrick Foley of Mendota as Jim Nightshade, Steve Seaborn of Peru as Mr. Halloway, Griffin Tabor of Oglesby as the Policeman, John Megow of Dana as Crosetti, Jake Jakielski of Marseilles as Mr. Dark, Tricia Kelly of Oglesby as the older Miss Foley, Ashley Hurst

of Peru as Mrs. Halloway, Sarah Hunter of LaMoille as Jim’s Mom, Alexis Trammel of Ottawa as Young Miss Foley/Ice Woman, Erik Aguilar of Mendota as Cooger/ Electrico and Summer Hoagland-Abernathy of Ottawa as Dust Witch and Denise Weik of Tonica as Mrs. Tetly. Townspeople and Circus Freaks are played by Jessica Filbeck of Ladd, Ella Johns of LaSalle, Téa Lamboley of Tonica, Kyle May of Spring Valley, Olivia Heinzeroth of LaMoille, as well as Chad Brokaw, Griffin Tabor, John Megow, Ashley Hurst, Sarah Hunter, Erik Aguilar and Denise Weik. “This show is perfect for the Halloween season; it’s dark and sinister and our student and community actors get the chance to really flex their acting abilities,” show director Don Grant Zellmer said. “In addition to great acting, spectators will see impressive lighting and effects,” he added. “This is the first production in the newly-completed Dr. Weeg Cultural Centre and we can’t wait to show it off to everyone.” Tickets are available at the door one hour prior to showtime and are $15 or $10 for children 12 years and under.

New historic home owners begin construction Site to be converted into bed and breakfast SHAW MEDIA

OTTAWA — Ottawa’s historic Cora J. Pope home has been vacant since 2013, but it may be ready to take new families in by March. The building, 116 W. Prospect Ave., is in the process of being renovated to become a bed and breakfast, but most of those renovations are being done to bring the home back to the same design and state it would have been in when Milton Pope built the house in 1902 for his wife, Cora. With some modern updates, of course. It’s a passion project for Larry Mitchell, and while he’s technically a co-owner of the project he prefers to think of himself as the building’s steward. “It’s our responsibility,” Mitchell said. “We’re put here to take care of it because (the Pope family) is not here anymore.” “We’re stewards of this property and we’ll continue to care for it and love it until I go, and when I go, I hope someone continues to do the same thing,” he added. The owners closed on the building on Sept. 6, which was a long time coming since Mitchell first viewed the house nearly three years ago. “I fell in love with this place the moment I walked through the door,” he said. The owners — who also include Mitchell’s wife, Tonica native Elin Arnold-Mitchell, plus Dr. Patricia Hoagland and her husband, John Hoagland — immediately got to work on the building, which includes unveiling original hardwood floors that were covered with linoleum and carpet as well as updating the building’s utilities, such as electric and plumbing. Some of the modifications were so the home could be used for the elderly. When Cora died in 1942, she bequeathed money for the 18-room mansion to be established as a home for the elderly, which closed in 2013 when it was down to one resident. Mitchell calls the work “invigorating” as he had just unveiled a pocket door by the dining area, which likely hasn’t seen daylight in many decades. Previously, the group also renovated the hilltop cottage house to the east of the property that is now being rented out. The restoration project is reminiscent of a large puzzle, which has Mitchell attempting to either find

The first two floors of the Cora Pope home are expected to be open to guests in March. Further exterior work is expected in the future. the same pieces that were used in the original house design or through recreation. Luckily, some of the pieces reside in the mansion’s basement wherein a lot of old pieces, such as the columns that graced the mansion’s original western entrance as well as some windows, were kept for

storage, likely in the hopes someone like Mitchell would once again place them up around the home. Some of the more modern additions will remain for now, such as a large fire escape that hangs on the side. Mitchell said the owners are seeking a local landmark designation at

Tuesday night’s board meeting that may assist and give flexibility with some codes in order to return the home to its original appearance. “All the decorative stuff had to be compromised to do the utilitarian thing,” Mitchell said. “Now that the home is returning to its original purpose, which is as a place for people to live and enjoy, we’re going to maintain safety but we’re going to do it in a more decorative fashion.” The first two floors are expected to be available for rent in March and new bathrooms are being installed to best serve the up to four rooms that can be rented. Mitchell’s excitement for the project is reinvigorated every time he unearths a new piece of the home that was thought forgotten and through talking to those in the community who share their stories and own relationships with the home. He’s excited to open the doors to visitors next year, but estimates work will continue to the third floor as well as to the exterior after that. “This is the rest of my life,” Mitchell said. “It doesn’t end in March, it just starts because in March other people will be able to enjoy it and I get to keep rebuilding the house as it was back then.”
