Courthouse repairs ahead of schedule By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — The work crews at the Putnam County Courthouse will be working a little while longer this year. Putnam County Board
President Duane Calbow told the board at its Oct. 14 meeting that workers from Otto Baum Co. had finished repairing a stone band around the 175-yearold Putnam County Courthouse earlier than expected, which allows them to perform some repairs to the
year’s building project called for board approval of the additional $17,178 to complete. The supplement was passed on a 3 to 1 vote with board member Willie Holmes as the lone dissenting vote. Holmes worked on the building staff at the courthouse for years and
building’s facade before the weather changes. Workers will not have to stop for the winter and set up again in the spring to continue work. “It’s going to save us a little bit of money,” Calbow said. Continued work on this
has cautioned restoration of the oldest continuously operating courthouse in Illinois is a luxury the county can not afford. In other action, the board: • Heard from former Putnam County Emergency Management Agency
Director John Ehrhardt on completed trainings for acting supervisor Bob Cofoid. Other PCEMA personnel have also completed various trainings and work on the communications setup for the PCEMA building

Hennepin talks park renovations By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountryrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Street repairs, ordinances and elections were on the agenda at the monthly Hennepin Village Board meeting Oct. 15. The board held a discussion on the plans to replace the crumbling base around the cannon which is on display at Walter Durley Boyle Park. The cannon was made at the West Point Foundry between 1859 and 1861. There are no records as to how the village of Hennepin came into possession of the cannon. Village Mayor Kevin Coleman informed the board the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association was willing to help pay for the renovations of the base of the display. “We’ve talked with them, and they are going to help fund rebuilding the cannon and the area around it. One of the thoughts on how to do this is have a granite base instead of the concrete block that has been there in the past,” Coleman said. Coleman explained that the granite base would be 6,000 pounds and will hold up better than a concrete base. The Hennepin Business and Betterment Association has chosen the granite with the understanding they would donate $3,000 to the project. The granite will cost $4,700. Plans are also underway to create some sort of plaque to denote information about the memorial. There will also be a 5- to 6-foot walking area around the planned memorial. The cost of the concrete walking area may run about $1,000. Village trustee Quentin Vol. 147 No. 8 One Section - 20 Pages
Buffington explained to the board in more detail about the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association donation. “It’s a 50 percent donation up to $3,000,” Buffington said. Buffington went on to explain the thoughts of the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association. “Currently when you are in the park and look at the Veterans Memorial, you look at the back side of it. The only way to access the memorial is to walk through a parking area to get to it. The thought is to use this cannon and this project as an anchor to moving the Veterans Memorial to a new location that would be more suitable,” Buffington said. The board approved to use up to $7,000 on the cannon project out of the park maintenance fund. In other news, the board: • Heard the village’s annual trick or treat event would be on Oct. 31 at Walter Durley Boyle Park. Hot dogs, chips and drinks will be served starting at 5 p.m. The parade will start shortly before trick or treat hours, which will be from 6 to 8 p.m. • Amended the village’s subdivision ordinance to include a rule that all future subdivisions will have their utilities put in underground in the village. • Coleman also announced three village trustee positions are open. Petitions are available for interested parties at the village hall. • Hennepin Business and Betterment Association will hold a food drive on Nov. 8. Village residents are asked to put their donated items in a bag and leave it outside their front door.

Candidates From Page 3 and taxpayers’ vested interests to my greatest ability. I will honorably demonstrate the highest ethical manner, being honest and truthful in all dealings and positions held. I will dedicate the moral courage and mental strength to do what is right, even in the face of personal or professional adversity. In addition, I am committed to serve the position of office and provide conservative practices to benefit the county for generations to come. I believe Putnam County is the best county in Illinois, for it is where I call home. I will strive to maintain the rural and agricultural setting that all have grown to love, yet look for new ways to increase new business growth. Editor’s note: Although her name doesn’t appear on the ballot, current board member Sandra Woest is seeking support as a write-in candidate for the Putnam County Board.
Judicial candidates John Grivetti Position for which you are running: Resident Circuit Judge of Putnam County. Political party: Independent. Grivetti Town of residence: Standard. Age: 68. Where you work now: Presently in private practice as solo practitioner. Education: Loyola University in Chicago business and law. Experience: Served 44 years as attorney and one term as Putnam County State’s Attorney, three years as case researcher for Lexis/ Nexis. Why should voters cast their ballots for you? I have been fortunate enough to be in practice for 44 years and believe that I have experience in such a wide variety of cases that I can be a fair and impartial judge in any kind of a case, with the knowledge and experience to reach a fair and just result. In my practice, and when serving as state’s attorney, I have always worked to reach a result which is fair to all parties involved. Very few cases are routine, and I have encountered virtually every type of case imaginable and have seen how cases are handled by judges who ranged from very good to questionable. I believe that my combination of experience and temperament are what is needed to best serve as a judge. James A. Mack Position for which you are running: Putnam County Resident Circuit Judge. Political Party: Republican. Town of Mack Residence: Hennepin. Where you work now: Currently serving third term as state’s attorney.
Age: 49 years. Education: Bachelor of Science-Biology, Illinois State University, 1992; Juris Doctor-Northern Illinois University, 1995. Experience, Professional: State’s Attorney 2000-2004, 2008-present; Assistant Public Defender 1996-2000; private practice 1995-2000, 2004-2008, Boyle, Goldsmith & Bolin/ Schweickert & Ganassin — general practice, insurance defense, probate, personal injury, local government. Civic: Illinois Valley Crime Prevention Council board member; Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team board member; Putnam County Bar Association secretary; Putnam County Community Center board member; Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) board member; member and past president Putnam County Rotary (formerly Granville Rotary); trustee, member and past Grand Knight, Knights of Columbus; member, Hennepin Tree Commission; member, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. What are your Top 3 Goals if elected: A judge is responsible to ensure justice is served within the confines of the law. My No. 1 goal as a judge will be to ensure justice is served. While that in and of itself can be a daunting challenge, I believe a judge also has additional responsibilities to all litigants. Meeting some of these other responsibilities are not only additional goals of mine, but help in ensuring that justice is served. Whether a multi-million dollar civil case or a petty traffic offense, I will conduct the proceedings in a manner that each litigant knows their voice is heard. A judge can make the correct legal decision, but if the litigants do not believe their evidence was afforded due consideration, a judge has failed in making that litigant feel that justice was served. Treating all parties with respect is a key component to achieving this goal. As a judge, I will also communicate the reasoning underlying the decision in each case so the litigants understand the basis of the decision, whether or not they ultimately prevail. In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers? I will work to ensure that all litigants are heard and not cut short, while managing the courtroom in a manner that will not incur overtime expenses for the county. I will also continue to work to reduce the law library expense by utilization of online resources as opposed to the purchase of books. What changes will you make if you are elected? At this time, I do not plan to make any changes. I am running for the judicial position being vacated by Judge Scott A. Shore, who I believe to be an outstanding jurist. I will strive to fulfill the duties of office to the high level Judge Shore has set and maintained. Why should voters cast
their ballots for you? Throughout the majority of my career, I have served the people of Putnam County as assistant public defender and state’s attorney. The nature of elective office, as well as my civic activities, has kept me in close contact with the people of Putnam County and has allowed me to learn their thoughts and concerns. These conversations keep me grounded and give me a broader understanding of fair and just results in a variety of situations. Additionally, I understand from these experiences that all public service positions entail a high level of public trust. Serving as judge is a public service. A judge, as the ultimate arbiter at the local level, holds a position of even greater public trust. I have shown I take public service positions seriously, and am willing to commit the time and effort to fulfilling the duties of the office in a manner worthy of your trust. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County? I have always enjoyed using the law to seek justice. If allowed to serve as judge, I would continue to seek justice through law; albeit in a different capacity. Throughout my career as an attorney, I have learned that common sense and fairness are necessary in the courtroom. Having lived and practiced in Putnam County for almost two decades, I have shown through my interactions in both private practice and as state’s attorney that I possess both common sense and fairness, and I will bring them with me to the bench if elected. I also believe that a judge has to be impartial and unbiased. Serving as state’s attorney has put my record as prosecutor on public display. It shows the impartial and unbiased manner in which I have made prosecutorial decisions. The same unbiased and impartial manner I would use to perform the duties of judge. Brad Popurella Position for which you are running: Putnam County Circuit Judge. Political party: Democrat. Town of residence: McNabb. Popurella Where you work now: Popurella Law Office, Granville. Age: 38. Education: B.A. History – University of Illinois; Juris Doctorate – Northern Illinois University. Experience: 1999-2004 – LaSalle Co. State’s Attorney’s Office; 2004-2012 – Anthony Raccuglia and Associates, PC; 2012-2013 – Wimbiscus Law Firm, PC; 2013-present – Popurella Law Office, LLC. What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: To ensure that EVERYONE receives a fair and impartial decision. To fairly and appropriately decide the matters presented before me. To administer justice
within the confines of the law. In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: I believe that to be a fiscally responsible judge you have to be true to the docket and make sure that cases move at an appropriate speed given the circumstances of each individual case. What changes will you make if you are elected: No changes are needed. The residents of the 10th Judicial Circuit are losing a skilled and knowledgeable judge with the retirement of the Honorable Scott Shore. I hope to continue the legacy he has established. Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I believe I have the experience to appropriately weigh the matters which may come before me on a regular basis. I am level-headed and able to listen to all sides of an argument and find the most logical and appropriate solution. It is important to give each side in a matter an appropriate amount of consideration and not make rash decisions. I also have spent a lot of time in the court room presenting cases before judges and juries throughout North Central Illinois. I know what it takes to be in a court room and be successful. The values I was taught while growing up – hard work, respect, honesty and civic responsibility – give me the foundation to be an effective judge. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County: I promise that I will work tirelessly to make sure that the judicial process is efficient and fair to everyone that appears before me. I will not favor special interests and will decide cases before me on the merits.
Putnam County Clerk Dan Kuhn Position for which you are running: Office of Putnam County Clerk and Recorder. Political Party: Democrat. Town of residence: Kuhn McNabb. Experience: Served as Putnam County Clerk and Recorder for past 12 years. What are your top three goals if elected? To continue to serve as a full-time county clerk and recorder and provide services to the public that are accurate and delivered in a timely fashion. I will continue to deliver the office’s services in a fiscally responsible manner. To continue with the project he initiated to systematically conserve and preserve historical land records, plats of survey and vital records. To continue to support the county’s ongoing courthouse preservation project. Our original courthouse building was completed in 1839 and remains as the oldest courthouse in the state of Illinois that is still in use. This year
marked the building’s 175th anniversary. It is one of our county’s most important historical landmarks, and it should be preserved. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County? I believe the residents of Putnam County deserve honest, dedicated and experienced hardworking county officials and with their support, I will continue to bring these beliefs and values to the office of Putnam County Clerk & Recorder.
Putnam County Sheriff
Kevin Doyle Position for which you are running: Putnam County Sheriff. Political Party: Democrat. Town of Doyle Residence: R.R. Granville. Where you work now: Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. Age: 48. Education: Putnam County High School; Kishwaukee Community College, A.A. in Criminal Justice; Sangamon State University, B.A. in Social Justice Professions; University of Illinois Police Training Institute; Trained in Management, Leadership, Incident Command, School Shootings, Active Shooter, Etc. Experience: Five and one-half years as Deputy Sheriff for Putnam County Sheriff’s Office; nearly 16 years as Sheriff of Putnam County; Illinois Sheriff’s Association Training Committee, past chairman; 911 Emergency Telephone System Board, chairman; member of the Illinois Valley Chiefs of Police; Vice President of T.R.I.D.E.N.T. Drug Task Force; current financial officer for the Illinois Valley Crime Prevention Commission. What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: My No. 1 priority if re-elected as Putnam County Sheriff is to continue with the professional, respectful, service-oriented department that we currently have. Law enforcement is an easy profession to get sued in, even if you are doing the right thing. My deputies and dispatchers are well trained, which helps prevent any lawsuits. There are many training classes that my deputies attend. ALL deputies are mandated in my department to be trained in Active Shooter, CPR, AED and First Aid. We respond to many medical calls and traffic accidents where people are in need of medical attention, and in many instances, my deputies are the first to arrive on the scene even before medical professionals arrive. I have deputies that are certified in Lead Homicide Investigator Training which is mandated by the state of Illinois in order to investigate a death.
Another top priority of mine that I will continue is service. I believe that is a must have in an office that serves the public. We help people daily with so many problems and situations that are not law enforcement related. Citizens who are dealing with tragedies, children, spouses, and everyday life issues have often turned to the Sheriff’s Office for help. I have spoken to hundreds of residents throughout my career looking for guidance or answers to their problems. My deputies and myself try to get residents answers or a place to turn with these answers. We have helped with children in trouble in other counties, aging parents, mental health problems, counseling services, weather issues, titles to vehicles and many more. This “personal touch” service cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is a philosophy that is instilled upon my deputies and dispatchers. Another priority is my stance on drugs. A vast majority of those that come through our jail is because of drug-related incidents. Although the initial crime may have been battery, burglary or theft, a majority of them committed their crime while under the influence of drugs or trying to buy drugs. To combat these ongoing issues, I was allowed to join the TRIDENT Drug Task Force even though I didn’t have an agent in it at the time. A short time later, I received a grant to put a deputy in the Drug Task Force. This grant has paid for EVERYTHING — wages, health insurance and even pension for the deputy. Putting a person in the Task Force has allowed me to address the drug problem in our community. It is too time consuming for patrol deputies to battle on a daily basis with all their other duties. Our new K-9, Roxy, is another step I took to battle drugs. After years of donations from individuals and businesses, we were able to make this happen. The donations we received were very generous, and we are proud to have Roxy as our K-9. In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: For 16 years as Sheriff, I have always been within my budget. I have never finished the year over budget. It is very tough to stay in budget with a 24/7 office. Many variables arise in law enforcement that is not always taken into account. Gas price fluctuation for patrol, storms and criminal investigations that require large amounts of overtime are just a few examples. Also the jail population in some cases that cause you to house prisoners in other counties in which you are charged a daily rate. What changes will you make if you are elected: If re-elected, I plan to continue to run the office of sheriff the same way that we have for the last 16 years. With customer ser-

Why should voters cast their ballots for you: My experience, my personal touch with the public and my networking with local, state and federal law enforcement make me a reason to be re-elected as sheriff of Putnam County. I have been sheriff for nearly 16 years, and in that time, I have dealt with hundreds of challenging situations and have been very successful in the process. Law enforcement is a challenging business with very complex activities that affect people’s lives on a daily basis. Through my experiences, education and training I have
dealt with them to make our office a well-run unit of government. In saying this, my networking with other agencies, both law enforcement and others, has been remarkable. Being able to pick up the phone and call somebody to get answers or problems solved for a resident in a timely matter is a huge asset. My personal connection and compassion for the office of sheriff is a huge attribute. I have dedicated my life to this office for over 20 years and have been available both day and night to those who need me. All at a great expense to my home and personal life. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County: I have never been big on making promises due to the ever changing world we live in. We will con-
tinue to run the office the same way that we have for the past 16 years and provide the services to the citizens of Putnam County.

A difficult decision We at the Putnam County Record have made the difficult decision to close the Granville office, effective Nov. 26. There was a time when all the processes necessary for producing the Record were completed at the Granville office. Since the purchase nearly two years ago, all of those processes are now completed at the Bureau County Republican location in Princeton. For the past year we have had the office open three hours a day. Six months ago, we started tracking the traffic to the office. It wasn’t surprising we averaged Sam Fisher only five customers on a weekly basis. The majority of those customers’ needs could be satisfied over the phone or online. There are those who will say by closing the office that we don’t have a commitment to the community. We understand that sentiment, but we are no different than any other business as we look to allocate our resources to publish the very best newspaper we can. Money spent on an office that no one uses is not a very sound business decision. However allocating those resources to better the product is. We look forward to continuing to provide our readers with the best that we can offer. Putnam County Record Publisher Sam Fisher can be reached at sfisher@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Appreciating a little mess Sometimes a little mess in the house looks nice to me. A couple weeks ago, our nephew, Andy, and his wife, Danyelle, and three young daughters were at our house for the evening. The girls, Abree, 7, Maelah, 5, and Gloria, 3, had been to our house before and knew there was a stockpile of toys somewhere. But since our grandkids live in other states and their last visits were several months ago, the toys at our house had long been put away. My house was neat and organized, at least to my standard, with the children’s books and puzzles, card games, crayons and markers all stored in dresser drawers in a spare bedroom. The larger toys, like the kitchen set and building blocks, were stored downstairs next to the family room.
Donna Barker COMMENTARY
But on that Saturday night, our little guests needed some toys, and I gladly hauled everything out for my great-nieces. It was such fun having little girls playing in my house again while we adults visited and watched the girls. But before long, it was time for them to go, and Andy and Danyelle had their daughters clean up the toys before they left. After waving good-bye to the girls and their parents, I turned back to our now quiet living room. The puzzles and books
were neatly stacked on the coffee table. The downstairs toys were lined up against a wall. Our house looked about back to normal. But somehow, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness as I walked through our now silent and neat house. Quite a bit of energy and life had left as that young family drove away. The next morning, I poured my morning coffee and sat down in the living room, ready to do some Bible reading. I glanced across the room and saw a little white teddy bear on its side along the wall by the couch and, a short distance away, Mr. Bump was hiding underneath a corner table. I smiled as I stood to pick up the stray toys, but then, thinking better of it, I decided I liked the toys just where they were, and I sat back down.
I liked that my home has that decorative look that says a child has been here, that a child has made herself at home and played. Two weeks later, that little white teddy bear remains by the back of the couch and Mr. Bump is still underneath the table. And I’m in no hurry to pick them up and put them back into storage. Because each time I look at those toys, I remember what they represent to me and the little girls who had played there. And once again, I decide it’s good to have a few toys scattered about in my life. I suppose there will come a day when I pick up those toys and put them away, but I’m not ready just yet. Sometimes a little bit of mess looks really nice to me. Shaw Media Staff Writer Donna Barker can be reached at dbarker@bcrnews.com.
Field of Dreams The last place Chicago Cubs 2014 season The Chicago Cubs finished last in the National League’s Central Division with 73 wins and 89 losses, 17 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals. They avoided their fourth straight 90-loss season by only one game. There have been four Cubs left-handed batters who have at least hit 32 homers in a season. Anthony Rizzo joined Bill Nicholson, Billy Williams and Rich Monday who achieved this feat. Over the years since 1945, I personally have seen all of these players hit home runs. The Cubs’ record in the final two months was 31-28. The Cubs’ hitters struck out 1,477 times and were the Major League leaders in 2014 breaking the franchise record by 208 strikeouts. Rookie Javy Baez had 95 strikeouts in 52 games compared with 35 hits. That comes to 45
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY
percent of his 213 at bats. Baez had five strikeout performances in his first 39 games of his career. In comparison, Albert Pujols played in 2,102 Major League games before striking out four times in one game. Sixteen rookies played for the Cubs this season. Reliever Wesley Wright pitched in 58 games without a win. Catcher John Baker had one victory, pitching in relief in one appearance. Cubs rookie Matt Szezur in a game in Pittsburgh batted with two men on and nobody out and grounded into an especially rare 5-4-3 triple play. It was the first triple play turned against the Cubs in 14 years. The Cubs’ payroll was under $80 mil-
lion and ranked at 23rd in the Major Leagues. The Cubs finished the 2014 season with a total attendance of 2,652,113, and this total was up 9,431 from last year’s attendance. It is the first time attendance has risen since 2008. President Theo Epstein has about $41 million off the books from this year’s obligations. He said the Cubs are better equipped to acquire a highly-prized pitcher this winter, such as Jon Leister, who will be a free agent with the Oakland Athletics team. He also said prospects are on the rise, and we certainly hope to add talent from outside the organization. We are close to ending trading our veteran players and prospects to our young players. The Cubs are considering moving their Minor League player of the year from third base to the outfield for the 2015 season. The 6-foot, 5-inch, 215-pound Kris Bryant led the minors with 43 home runs, batted .325 with 110 RBIs at Double A
Tennessee and a Triple A Iowa. For some unknown reason, he did not receive a promotion at the end of the season to the Major League club. The Cubs plan to put up a 3,990-foot jumbo tron screen in the left field and four more LED signs throughout the outfield each up to 65 square feet, 300 additional seats in the bleachers, 300 standing room positions, new outfield light standards inside the ballpark, and a 30,000 square-foot club house. My thought is this: The rooftop owners over all these years have been stealing from the Cubs owners. The Rickett family should just buy them out. The Cubs 2014 team has to be the most optimistic last place team in baseball — they expect to be National League Central Champs in 2015. The Cubs open their 2015 home opener on April 6 versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

PC’s Mitch Aimone tees off during IHSA sectional competition on Oct. 13.
LANARK — Members of the Putnam County Lady Panther golf team participated in the Illinois High School Association Sectional golf tournament on Oct. 13 and 14. The event, held at the Lake Carroll Golf Course was stretched over two days due to inclement weather. Senior Kelsey Grosenbach shot a 108 score over 18 holes. Sophomore Hanna Hundley shot a 123 in the meet. The meet on Oct. 13 was called for rain after the first 14 holes and completed on Oct. 14 for the final four holes. Neither Panther golfer advanced to state as the qualifying score had to be a 93 or lower. Lady Panther head coach Eric Ciucci was please with his golfers as they faced playing in very difficult condi-
tions. “We had very tough weather days on both Monday and Tuesday to play the sectional tournament and everyone battled lots of rain,” he said. “Kelsey completed a very accomplished high school golf career that included a total of six postseason tournaments and was part of the regional championship team from 2013. We are all very proud of Kelsey’s high school golf career and wish her the best going forward. Hanna was able to take advantage of a great opportunity to advance to sectional competition as a sophomore and will be able to build on this postseason experience as she transitions to an upperclassman at the high school. Looking back at our entire team and the season, I think that we have a great foundation of young ladies to build upon the next several years and I believe that we are going to have a lot of success in the near future.”

Aimone shot a 48 on the front nine of the course and a 43 on the back nine holes. Dzierzynski shot a 48 on the front nine and a 45 on the back nine of the golf course.

The tale of the Battle of Hastings comes to Putnam By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
PUTNAM — Here’s today’s history question: What tells the story of the events of 1064–1066, culminating in the Battle of Hastings, including the two main protagonists, Harold Godwinson — recently crowned King of England — leading the Anglo-Saxon English, and William, Duke of Normandy — leading a mainly Norman army, sometimes called the companions of William the Conqueror? Sorry, but if you were thinking of a book, you missed. While the true story of its origin is disputed, the Bayeux Tapestry is a 70 meter (approximately 77 yards) work of art that’s viewed as an important historical treasure. At 4 p.m. Oct. 23, Cathy Grafton — who has spent much of her life studying the tapestry — will tell the story of the tapestry and its impact at the Condit branch of the Putnam County Library in Putnam. “Like many who love
needlework, I consider the Bayeux Tapestry to be one of the most amazing embroideries ever stitched,” Grafton said. “I have studied this work since I was a child and have visited Bayeux to see the tapestry 12 times. In fact, I’m planning to go again soon.” Grafton’s interest in this illustrated piece of history was a result of a gift from her mother. “The Bayeux Tapestry has been a passion with me since I was about 10 years old; my mother bought me a book about it,” Grafton said. Although called the Bayeux Tapestry, the work is actually embroidered with wool yarn on linen. Through images and text, it follows the stories of Godwinson and William the Conquerer, culminating in the death of Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. The tapestry is missing a section after this scene although it is thought only one scene is missing. The tapestry has made its home in Bayeux,
France, for most of its existence, although Grafton said it has made some eventful journeys. “It was taken during the French Revolution in 1792 to be made into coverings for military wagons,” Grafton said. “It was taken by a local lawyer who kept it in his house until after the revolution when it returned to Bayeux.” The next threat to the existence of the tapestry came, perhaps not surprisingly, during World War II. “The Gestapo took the tapestry in 1944, and they sent it to the Louvre, which was under German control,” Grafton said. “Before the Germans left Paris, Himmler sent a message telling them to take the tapestry with them, but by the time they tried to get it, the Louvre was under French control.” Experts say it is miraculous the tapestry is still intact more than 900 years after its creation, and although it has been restored, it still holds a place of honor in the Bayeux Cathedral in France.

INDEPENDENT
When deciding who should be the next Putnam County Circuit Judge, there are three choices. There are the candidates of the political parties, and one other choice. I hope that the voters will carefully examine the qualifications of those choices, and choose independence. A judge should be without any bias of any kind, and by being an independent candidate who has not taken any campaign contributions, I will be free from even a hint of prejudice or favoritism. I am the only candidate with over 44 years of legal experience, more than my opponents combined. I have practiced in over one half of the counties in Illinois, before over 1000 different judges, as well as in four neighboring state courts, Illinois and Michigan federal courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. This provides me with an overview of the legal system that is unmatched by any other candidate for the office of Circuit Judge. Circuit judges handle a great variety of cases, both criminal and civil, and it is important that they be well versed in all areas of the law. I have served as Putnam County State’s Attorney, with an outstanding conviction record, including the first murder conviction in the county in more that 50 years. I have also provided legal services to thousands of clients in all areas of civil law, for both plaintiffs and defendants, as well as numerous small businesses. In addition I served as an editor for one of the country’s largest legal publishers, providing summaries of Illinois legal cases from 1818
through current times, for use by attorneys throughout the state. I was born and raised in Putnam County, and I credit my education at Standard Grade School and the relationships I developed there for all of my successes in life. Likewise, my children have succeeded in their lives as a result of their early upbringing in Standard. My practice allows me to travel throughout Illinois and the midwest on a daily basis, and that travel only reinforced my appreciation for Putnam County. I look forward to serving the citizens of our county as a judge. I will be a judge the citizens can be proud of.

Hennepin chef lands 40 under 40 award By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Illinois Valley Community College’s Illinois Small Business Development Center honors 40 local up and coming young leaders under the age of 40 each year. One of this year’s award winners is Hennepin’s Matt Dean. Dean, 33, is currently a division chef/food fanatic chef with U.S. Foods out of Streator. When Dean first went to college, he had no idea how his life was about to change. “I went to Illinois State University (ISU) and got my degree in public relations. I minored in tourism studies and took some business management classes. When I was down there, I started working for campus dining services. I was trained by a classic French chef. I got pulled into the catering department, which was the beginning of me becoming a chef,” he said. Dean then went onto Le Cordon Bleu and earned an associate degree in baking and pastry. After working in the Chicago area, he moved back to the Illinois Valley. In his position with U.S. Foods, Dean travels and researches culinary trends and helps other chefs learn how to perform them
properly. The key is getting the trendy concepts to the restaurants before they become mainstream. Dean is a village trustee and a fireworks coordinator for the village of Hennepin. He is a member of the Hennepin Fire Department as well as a First Responder. Dean is also active in the United Methodist Church Men’s Group and supports the Relay for Life — Team Hennepin of the Marshall/ Putnam Chapter. He is also on the Pi Sigma Epsilon Marketing Fraternal Organization. Dean’s personal philosophy is unique for a person of his age. “If you want to make something of yourself, you’ve got to give back,” he said. “Whether it’s to the church, whether it’s doing the work at the fire department or here at the village, it’s important. When you give back, you make connections and get involved, but that’s not why you do it. It gets you more involved in the community. It opens doors for you. It helps other organizations.” Dean cites the upcoming Putnam County Education Foundation Hallowinestock event on Nov. 1 as an example. Dean will be the celebrity chef who prepares the appetizers at this event. “As I get involved, more
people follow me, and I can promote events like this,” he said. Dean remembers being moved at an early age by a volunteer opportunity. “When I was at ISU, we did the food for the state Special Olympics,” he said. “So 20-30 hours a week on top of your regular work was the serving for this event ... you had kids coming through the line who got like a 10th place ribbon who were so excited. You had to come around the food tables, take off your gloves and give them a high five. That is more rewarding than getting a write-up in a Chicago magazine on a dish you prepared.” Honorees of the 40 under 40 program were nominated by the commu-
Matt Dean nity at large and selected by a panel of independent judges. They were honored at a reception at the Deer Park Country Club in October.
During a recent appearance in front of the famous ‘Bean’ statue in Chicago, Food Fanatic Chefs Bill Brooks (from left), Matt Dean and Steven Grostick talk for an event.
Dean’s signature Black List Bratwurst Brat is topped with One of the many dishes that Matt Dean shows chefs how to pork fat caramelized onions and a mustard black truffle prepare includes Stella Artois and honey marinated dried foie gras aioli. apricots topped with a cumin sunflower seed crumble.
