Honoring our veterans Panier: ‘We were the lucky ones’ By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in France. However, fighting actually ended more than seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on
the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” What started out as Armistice Day under President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 has grown to become Veterans Day in the United States, a day to honor all veterans, no matter when and where they were stationed, fought or died.
In the Putnam County corner of the world ... Every day, the Coffee Club gathers at The Corner Store in Granville to talk politics, comment on current affairs and reminisce about their past. Among the club members are a number of veterans of World War II and Korea, and the stories they share are a reminder of what they paid for our freedom. “I figure I have about 60,000 miles on the ocean,” Harold Faletti, a
retired Merchant Marine said. “I crossed the Atlantic five times, Pacific once. I served on five different ships.” “Being a 20-year-old kid and you’re away from home for two to three years, that’s not the best world,” said Joe Panier, 65th Signal Corps. “We left in October to go overseas, and two months later, our daughter was born, so I didn’t see her for 14 months.” “I never had to go overseas,” said Rich Hay-
wood, former member of the 101st Airborne. “I was part of a strikeforce. We were part of an alert group of five battlegroups, and every sixth week, one battlegroup was packed up and ready to go anyplace in the world, 24 hours day.” Bill Tonerelli was present at a couple of distinctive moments in the history of World War II. He was on board the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay when the formal Japanese surrender was signed on
Sept. 2, 1945. Tonerelli also served aboard the carrier CV-18 the U.S.S. Wasp. “Our air group aboard ship shot down the last kamikaze pilot in the war in the air,” said Tonerelli. “Our gunners shot down the last ship-downed kamikaze pilot of the war.” While all four men were proud to serve their country, there are things they wish they could change.

Losing a friend Area residents remember Jim Goldasich By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
MCNABB — A helper to many, someone who always saw the big picture and a person who thought of others before himself. These are just some of the ways McNabb resident Jim Goldasich is being remembered. Goldasich died Oct. 27. Goldasich, a former employee of the Illinois Department of Public Health, was known throughout the area as someone who could make things happen and get things done. Jeannie Vaskie, a former member of the McNabb Ambulance Service, was someone who looked to him to guide their organization from an all-volunteer status to a paying system. “Through his previous work, he had seen a lot of departments make the transition,” Vaskie said. “I’m sure he had encountered the kind of growing pains we had been going through. So he had a good knowledge base of that transition and how to make it go smooth.” Goldasich was a starting point for many changes in emergency management improvements throughout the area, Vaskie noted he had helped in bringing the helicopters into rural areas to move critically injured patients more quickly. Dan Hartenbower, a forVol. 146 No. 10 One Section - 16 Pages The Putnam County

mer member of the Tonica Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance group, knew Goldasich was a gem when he met him. “He was one of the original people in the EMS system with LaSalle and Peru. Carol and I were EMTs at the time,” Hartenbower said. “He was one of those dedicated guys. He was always working for it; he was always there. He was never afraid to lend a hand when you needed it.” Mike Vaskie of McNabb joined the McNabb Fire Protection Board when Goldasich was a member of that same board, and he said Goldasich always knew the answers. “He was always the detail guy,” Vaskie said. “He was my shell answer man. If I had a question or I had a problem, he is the guy I went to. He always, always, always came up with an answer.” Rick Turri of Tonica has worked many years in many capacities for the Tonica Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance service. Goldasich did a lot of training for Tonica and assisted with the department getting grants when they needed them. “He was a nice guy and always looking out for communities, not just McNabb or Putnam County, but outside of that,” Turri said. “He helped

Morgan to leave library district Putnam County Library director to leave at year’s end By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Barbara “Bobbie” Morgan, director of the Putnam County District Library, has announced her intent to move on. Morgan, whose contract ends at the end of the year has accepted a position as director of the Walla Walla County Rural Library District in the state of Washington. The Putnam County Board has accepted her decision with regret
and will begin their search for a new director. “I want everyone to know how much I have enjoyed my time in Putnam County,” Morgan said. “I am in the unfortunate position of needing health insurance. I want to make very clear that the board has worked with me to try fix this situation. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t going to be able to be worked out.” Morgan was hired in January of 2013 to replace Randie Dellatori who retired from the district. She contin-
ued on with the modernization plan of the library during her tenure. Several grants have also been given to the district including an energysaving lighting grant, a grant that put over 250 children’s books on the shelves, the Capton Collection which is an interactive online book program for children and a collection of contemporary art books. New technology has been bought to the library district. This technology has included upgrading the network to meet federal guidelines

OTTAWA — Twentyfour hours may seem like a long time to some, but to area veterans who participated in the honor guard event at the War Memorial in Washington Park in Ottawa, it isn’t too long at all.

“For me, it’s the way the guys were treated when they came back
cipal organizers of this event is veteran John Dubeck of Ottawa. “It’s our fifth year of doing it,” Dubeck said. “We were looking for positive things to do to contribute to the community, and we began the 24-hour honor guard vigil. No shift has been missed because of the quality of people wanting to help.” Two veterans minimum are assigned to the honor guard shift for 15 minutes. Other veterans or family members may join in. Over the 24-hour period, there were a total of 96 shifts, and a total of over 200 veterans kept the event going.
“No one missed a shift,” Dubeck said. Veterans and members of the Ottawa community donated food, so the veterans could have a warm meal or a quick snack during the event. Tonica native Art Foltynewicz, commander of the Ottawa Veterans of Foreign War Post 2470, was one of the veterans who participated. “The event has grown over time. I guess it started out, and they were having trouble filling out all the spots. Some of us were doing multiple shifts. When you get to our age, it kind of hurts,” he said. “Getting the veter-
ans from the veterans’ homes out here has been very meaningful. It takes a lot of planning, and these guys do an excellent job, getting the veterans out here, so they can feel like they are part of the veterans community here.” “We are glad to reach out to LaSalle County. We are all patriots together,” Dubeck said. “Veterans Day honors and celebrates the veterans’ service, but we honor and acknowledge that our family supports us while we are gone; the community and the nation. We are all in it together. That is the message we want to get
out to everyone.” Caretakers at some of the area veterans’ centers bought groups over whose members served in a secondary location built to handle wheelchair-bound veterans. Putnam County resident Rhonda Fogle, who works at the Illinois Valley Veterans Home, noted the participants really look forward to this event. “We bought over six of our residents to stand the vigil,” Fogle said. “The home has done it the last two years. It’s a great honor and a good way to expose the public to what our veterans did.”
from Vietnam,” Haywood said. “It was just disgusting. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking. Now the guys are coming back from Iraq, and they’re being treated a
little better.” “I can’t understand how these guys could come back and be spit upon,” Panier said. “They had it rough.” All four of these vet-
erans enlisted and were sent into harm’s way to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today, and though they admit it was difficult, they are proud of their service and are
thankful they were able to do something many of their comrades-in-arms couldn’t. “We were the lucky ones,” Panier said. “We got to come home.”

Hennepin Library: ‘Inconvenient Stories ...’ Vietnam vets to be featured at program on Nov. 13 By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — The tales of trials and tribulations of the troops in Vietnam will be the focus of a program at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Hennepin branch of the Putnam County Library. The program focuses on “Inconvenient Stories: Vietnam War Veterans,” a book by Jeffery Wolin which features the
personal recollections of 50 individuals and their reflections on the Vietnam War. The book was made available to the Putnam County Library through a donation of art books by the Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program. “We go to a site where we can order art books. This is one of them,” Bobbie Morgan, Putnam County District Library
Director, said. “When it came in, library board President Bob Steele had already been talking to me about Vietnam war vets. I showed it to Bob, and he presented it to the board. The board decided they wanted a program on veterans around Veterans Day.” Area Vietnam veterans are invited to attend and share stories and memories of the war. Two local veterans have already signed up to share their experiences. The program

will go on as long as there are veterans wanting to share their memories, Morgan said. The Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program works out of New York and helps supply art books to rural libraries. The Putnam County district was able to procure more than $1,800 in art books from the program, focusing primarily on 20th Century artists and photographers such as Claudio Edinger and Paul McDonough.

He was thinking of the whole area, whether it was Putnam County or Tonica or anywhere around, he just always helped. We worked together a lot.” John Cimei of McNabb has served in many capacities in the Fire Protection District since 1970. He said Goldasich was never involved because of the recognition. “It is hard to put it into words. Jim was never there for accolades, pats on the back. He was just involved in so many things and did so much good. He was kind of a mediator at times. He became a trustee in the Fire Protection District. He has done so much.

because he did everything.” Duane Calbow, president of the Putnam County Board, said after the Granville tornado, the board knew the county needed help. “I knew Jim for a long time. After the Granville tornado, we knew that emergency management needed a boost. Jim was the right man for the job,” Calbow said. “Just knowing Jim, he was very dedicated to the public and public safety. What was striking about Jim was that he was always concerned about other people. You’d ask him how he was doing, and he just wanted to talk and see how you were doing.” Many people in Putnam County and the surrounding areas have felt the loss with Goldasichs passing. Calbow summed it up. “Putnam County lost a good friend, and I personally lost a good friend,” said Calbow.
those areas.” Morgan has led the staff in an ambitious pruning of the current library collection — meaning books that have not been used for many years have been taken out of the collection to make room for new volumes. “I will miss my staff and the patrons of the library. Everyone has been very wonderful in my time here,” Morgan said.

Coming soon: Axline Pharmacy By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE – The drywalling is finished; the painting has started; and carpeting gets installed in a week or two. After the end of the month, it will be a lot easier to pick up prescriptions in Granville when Axline Pharmacy opens its doors on South McCoy Street. “This is going to be a unique-looking store, a really classy-looking pharmacy,” said Rob Bean, Bloomington Axline Pharmacy manager. “We’re hoping people like it. “The big sticking point will be getting the state’s approval,” Bean said. “We’ve made our application, and it usually takes four to six weeks to be approved. After the interior is completed, there’s

We’re ready and willing to do this for Putnam County because

Library to host holiday decorating event By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Library District is kicking off the holidays with a class on the art of tree decorating at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 12 in the United Christian Church in Granville. JoEllen Fiorentini has been giving this class around the area at local libraries and at Illinois Valley Community College for many years. Fiorentini holds an art degree from Illinois State University and is employed by Bergners in the Peru Mall doing the store’s decorating. “Linda Garcia called me. She said she had been referred to me by a woman I know,” Fiorentini said. “This hap-

pened maybe 20 years ago. The thing is even after you once learn it, it is something you don’t forget because you have to do it once a year.” In the class, participants will learn that there is a very distinct plan when decorating the annual holiday tree. “The first part of the process is we start at the beginning where we shape the tree. This is
just normal shaping. When it comes out of the box, that is not the way you put up a tree,” she said. With live trees, Fiorentini noted that you have to accommodate the large tree stand. Lighting is next on either style of tree. According to Fiorentini, lighting is one of the most misunderstood parts of decorating the tree.

Field of Dreams With Veterans Day on Nov. 11, I am thinking of Jim Goldasich, who I respected so much for his 20 years of service in the U.S. Navy, for his 25 years with the Illinois Department of Public Health as regional emergency medical services coordinator, president of McNabb Village, trustee of the McNabb Fire Protection District, commander of American Legion Post 1242 and since 2005, Putnam County Emergency Management Agency coordinator. Jim meant so much to so many groups and individuals. He was very pleasant and everyone enjoyed his company. I remember one COMMENTARY time Jeanne and I were driving Route 66 and stopped in Litchfield at a popular 66 restaurant. We visited with the owner who we found out was Jim’s childhood friend. He said he and Jim played ice hockey in the creek across from the restaurant with Jim’s brother and other boys. I’m so happy the McNabb Fire Department community hall was renamed the James Goldasich Community Center in his honor. I will miss Jim reading the names of the veterans who are buried in Friends Cemetery – and cemeteries all over the world – on each Memorial Day during the memorial service in Friends Cemetery. ••• Question: What year was Anne Frank’s family apprehended after hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, Holland, for two years? Answer at the end of the article. ••• Since it is Veterans Day, I want to call attention to the Putnam County Library in Granville. Linda (Serafini) Garcia, who works in the library, had the idea to honor her father and other area veterans with 8-by-10-inch pictures. Linda’s husband, Bill Garcia, blew up the veterans’ small photos and framed them before displaying them on the top of the library’s shelves. There are 58 pictures at the present time. Linda would like for all area veterans to bring in their pictures, so she and Bill can display them. As you enter the library, look up to your left on the top of the shelf. The first picture you will see is Vietnam veteran Ray “Duke” Moriarty, staff sergeant squad leader Vietnam 196970. Beside his picture is a book titled, “Our War,” the history and sacrifices of an infantry battalion in the Vietnam War by David W. Taylor, Ray’s commander in Vietnam. Ray is in several pictures in this book. The second picture is Vietnam veteran Jerry Massini, 1961-63. When I visited the library, I met Bernadette Egan, who works in the library. She is the only female veteran that has a picture on the shelves. Bernadette was a lieutenant nurse in the Navy. Her husband, Terry Egan, and son, Shaun, are also veterans with their pictures next to hers. There is a banner across and above the shelves of books, it reads “Our greatest heroes are ordinary people doing extraordinary things.” These men and women who served and sacrificed are an extraordinary group of people. Please come to the Putnam County Library and view the great local veterans; then when you see them on Veterans Day – or any day – honor them and appreciate their courage. This is the time to remember our veterans. ••• The answer to the question: Anne Frank’s family was apprehended after hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1944. ••• May your life be long, successful and happy. Thanks for reading; gone farming. Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@ putnamcountyrecord.com.

On the street
Do you think schools and business should be closed on Veterans Day?
I think we should still continue to do it. If we don’t, the children lose sight of why it’s so important. We already have all the other issues with Social Security for veterans and all that’s going on. I think the children need to be raised just as we were and taught respect for the people and what they have done for our country. Ashli Ciesielski, Granville I believe we should honor our veterans. I’d rather honor our veterans you know than Christopher Columbus or Casmir Pulaski Day. Honor our veterans who give their lives for our country and our freedom. That makes more sense to me than some of the other holidays they make. Cary Hartman, Granville I think we should honor our veterans and keep closing businesses for a day. I mean if they are laying their lives on the line for our country and not getting honored, where’s the showmanship, where is the respect for those guys? Josh Stash, Granville I think we should continue it definitely. I think it’s a day to honor those who have served our country. Marcia Hulet, Granville
It’s hard to say. There are other days for us. Not a real big deal either way. Harold Faletti, Granville
From behind the scenes to center stage I’m more of a behind-the-scenes type of gal. That’s why you only see my words and not my face on a YouTube channel. One of my biggest dreams is to act and sing — you know, every kid’s fantasy — but, if any of you have ever witnessed my attempt at either, it’s sadder than breaking your phone. So, I’ve dumped that dream into my “unattainable” bucket and moved onto something I could actually do ... help those with talent. For example, this past week, I’ve been the spotlight girl for the high school play. I was in control of the orb that danced across the stage. It was a fun experience: I got to hang out with most of my friends, make a couple more, and learn a little about theatre Now, I haven’t had any formal experience with theatre of any sort. I did take a drama class last year, but aside from the obvious acting aspect, it was much different than the real thing. We never set foot in the auditorium. We never focused on the technical stuff (which I would have really loved to do). We just acted in the confines of the classroom. I actually loved that. It was informal, and I wasn’t self conscious about my lack of acting skills. They were a fabulous group of people for an
Maddi Loiselle COMMENTARY insecure kid like me to have in an open environment like that. When I stepped on the actual stage of the auditorium, I was extremely intimidated. Though I was only setting up the stage, my palms got sweaty, and my heart wouldn’t take a breather. Then, when I actually had to perform and read lines for an absent actor during rehearsal, it was terrifying. The stage lights were blinding. I hadn’t seen this act before; I was going in completely unprepared. But I was also slightly thrilled, holding onto my unattainable acting dream. Alas, it was so very unattainable, as my performance showed; I belonged up in the spotlight room. The smelly, cramped room seemed to be almost touching the heavens when I was up there all alone. I enjoyed reading comments scrawled on the concrete walls in my downtime. It was strewn with remarks from past spotlight people with their names, years and titles of the play/musicals, and little notes left from one
class to the next. I grew to really like those personalized walls and the cold stool and desk I spent most my time resting on. The spotlight itself became a sort of friend to me because I wasn’t on the receiving end of it. I was casting its light to the stage below me, to the actors that seemed to own it. I was the orb that danced around the stage and focused the audience’s attention on one person. How else were they supposed to see when the house lights weren’t on? I almost didn’t become a crew member for this performance. I was too worried about my fragile sleeping schedule getting completely out of whack. Yes it was majorly affected, but I’d do it all over in a heartbeat. I would wait around the school with my friends until midnight; I would request time off from work; and I would risk my grades and my nearly nonexistent social life to do it again. So I hope you all attend the spring musical. And please ... look for the orb flying across the stage. Maddi Loiselle, 16, of Hennepin is a junior at Putnam County High School.

Blouke Carus, Carus Corporation’s chairman emeritus. This spring, the Illinois Manufacturing Association (IMA) will provide $500 to a graduating senior with plans to attend Illinois Valley Community College in pursuit of a career in manufacturing. The IMA will award the M. Blouke Carus scholarship to a Discover Manufacturing Career Expo attendee annually and hopes to increase the value of the award in the coming years. Students who attended the Expo should contact their school counselors or IVCC for eligibility and application information.

HENRY – Tiffany Moodie, Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau manager, recently received word that ImAGination Acres, the children’s exhibit designed for this year’s MarshallPutnam Fair, has won a national Counties of Excellence (CAE) award. ImAGination Acres was one of 24 program winners chosen from 123 national entries. Two other Illinois counties, Cook and Randolph, also received this award. They will display their projects at the Illinois Farm Bureau annual meeting in Chicago Dec. 7–10 and again at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 12-13. A collaborative effort between M-P Farm Bureau and M-P Extension Ag in the Classroom, this exhibit offered a variety of ag-related play stations for young children. Children could make pretend pizza at pAGano’s Pizzeria, examine stuffed farm animals at Dr. SpAGer’s Veterinary Clinic and measure and pour at the wAGon of corn. They could check
their height against the eight foot ear of corn, ride “Sam” the barrel rocking horse and climb the straw bales of “Sir Charles the Rooster.” Alongside ImAGination Acres were real farm animals provided by Barnyard Discoveries and a menagerie of poultry housed in miniature barns provided by Gene Nenne. “We wanted children to use their imagination and just have old fashioned fun in an agriculture setting,” Julie Read, Ag in the Classroom coordinator said. “The project was possible because of the great support we received from our community sponsors and volunteers” said Tiffany Moodie. “We couldn’t have done it without them. This was definitely a team effort.” The CAE program acknowledges and shares successful county Farm Bureau programs and activities focusing on education and ag promotion, member services, public relations and information, leadership development and policy implementation.

Sports ILVY Dolphins off to fast start KEWANEE — The Illinois Valley YMCA Dolphins are starting their 2013-14 season in a big way. The Dolphins attended a meet on Oct. 26 in Kewanee which included Kewanee and Ottawa. The Dolphins took 47 swimmers — 22 boys and 25 girls. The boys brought home 14 first-place ribbons, 15 second places and three third places. The girls took 20 first places, 15 second places and 11 thirds. Two girls, Charleigh Holmes and Amie Knafelc, both took home a first-place ribbon in every event that they swam. Several swimmers earned district qualifying times, including Keira Kiersnowski in the 25 freestyle and 25 fly; Megan Machetta in the 200 free, 50 free and 100 back; Jacob Lowery in the 200 free and 50 fly; Will Mertes in the 25 breast; Cody Smith with the 50 back; and Logan Ulrich in the 50 free. Swimmers earning state qualifying times were Ashley Heagy in the 200 individual medley (IM) and the 50 fly; Charleigh Holmes in the 200 free, 100 free and 50 back; Gunner Jauch in the 100 IM, 50 fly and 50 back; Luke Mertes in the 50 breast; Nicole Pocivasik in the 50 free, 50 fly and 50 breast; and Marissa Sanshez in the 100 IM. The Dolphins hosted the Monster Splash Pentathlon held at the Peru YMCA on Oct. 7. More than 300 swimmers were in attendance. Final standings for the invitational were the Rock River Stingrays as the overall winners. Second place went to the Ottawa Dolphins, with the Elgin Pelicans in third. Rounding out the teams were the Streator Stingrays, the Dixon Dolphins and the Kewanee Kingpins. The ILVY Dolphins scored enough points for the win, but home teams forfeit a team place for invitationals. Medals and ribbons were given to first through 16th place finishers for a combined score in all events. For a pentathlon, swimmers must swim all events to be eligible for medals or ribbons. Individual medley, freestyle, back, butterfly and breast scores are combined to obtain winners. The ILVY Dolphins had 82 swimmers total, 42 boys and 40 girls. The boys brought home four first-place ribbons, five seconds and nine thirds. The girls received 12 firsts, eight seconds and six thirds. Swimmers also participated in a costume contest and trick or treating during the breaks between events.
Marshall County Youth football roundup
The Marshall County Squirts played their final game of the season against the Dragons from Pekin on Oct. 26. The Cyclones and the Dragons battled back and forth for most of the game. The Dragons had a couple plays that caught the Cyclones off guard and allowed the Dragons to score a total of three touchdowns in the contest. In each instance, the Cyclones’ defense was able to prevent the extra point. The Cyclones ran a sweep with a pulling guard and opened up for a 70-yard touchdown. The coaches are very proud of the team that has developed into this season. The Marshall County Cyclone JV scored three first quarter touchdowns and coasted to an 18-12 home victory over Princeville. Peyton Cordes put the Cyclones on the board first with a 26-yard touchdown run. Princeville’s next possession ended with a Bryce Welsh interception. Welsh then took the first play from scrimmage 36 yards to the endzone, putting the Cyclones up 12-0. On the Cyclones’ next possession, Braden Damerell hit Cordes on an 18-yard touchdown pass, giving the Cyclones an 18-0 first quarter lead. The Cyclones ended their season winning five of their last six games, including the last four in a row.
Marshall County loses to East Peoria LACON — On Oct. 27 the Marshall County JFL team took the field for the last game of the season against East Peoria. East Peoria was tough. Despite their best efforts, Marshall County fell behind, and the score was 8-0 at halftime. Late in the game, it seemed they would be able to shift the numbers and come out victorious, but the clock beat them to the score, and at 4:30 p.m., the scoreboard reflected a disappointing loss. The seniors celebrated together one last time on Nov. 3 at the Ogre Building, where awards were handed out.

Third-graders take Utica trip HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Educational Foundation sponsored a field trip to Utica for third-grade students from Hennepin Elementary. The students visited the LaSalle County Historical Society Museum, the Aitken Rural Schoolhouse and the Stone Blacksmith Shop. At the museum, stu-
dents were transported back in time to the early days of the Illinois Valley. Students read from a list of clues to find different historical objects and displays. At the one room schoolhouse, students got a taste of how pioneer children learned in class. Some of the third-graders experienced what happened if work was not
completed or if they acted up in class. The students performed a short skit about the exploration of Father Jaques Marquette and Louis Joliet. Some children were Native Americans, fur traders and one even got to portray Robert Cavelier de LaSalle. The third-graders finished their trip at a blacksmith shop.

Food for fines at PC Library GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Library system is once again sponsoring an area wide Food for Fines amnesty program benefiting the Putnam County Food Pantries. From Nov. 11 to Nov. 23, the libraries will accept canned or boxed non-perishable food donations for payment of overdue fines. Each donated food item pays a $1 in library overdue fines up to a maximum of 25 items to pay $25 per overdue library/ patron card. Food items must be presented to the
circulation desks, with all donated food given to the Putnam County Food Pantry. This is the fourth year area libraries have cooperated to benefit of area food pantries. Even without overdue fines, people are encouraged to bring your donations to a participating library, who will take it to the food pantry for you. Donated food is not accepted for lost or damaged books, replacement of cards or interlibrary loan fees. Because of food safety concerns, the pantries request items be in
their original packaging; damaged packages, outdated food or glass containers are not acceptable. Suggested food items include canned vegetables, fruits, soups, boxed stuffing mix, cereals, pasta mixes and canned meats. For more information, call the Putnam County Public Library District Director Bobbie Morgan at 815-925-7020.

POIGNANT FARM DRAINAGE
November is Winter Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois SPRINGFIELD — Frosty temperatures have already destroyed the blooms on many summer plants, a sure sign that winter weather isn’t far away. While it’s not yet time to start shoveling snow, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) are encouraging people to begin preparing now for extreme cold, snow and ice. IEMA and the NWS will highlight winter weather preparedness throughout November as part of their annual Winter Weather Preparedness campaign. “In Illinois, it’s a question of when snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures will hit, not if they will occur,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken. “Getting caught unprepared may not be just inconvenient, it could be dangerous. Now’s the time to take a few minutes to put together your home and vehicle emergency supply kits and review the steps you should take to stay safe during hazardous winter weather.” According to the NWS, there were eight deaths related to extreme cold
temperatures nationwide in calendar year 2012. That number is significantly lower than the 10-year national average of 27 fatalities. All of the 2012 cold-related fatalities occurred outdoors, including three deaths in Illinois. Since 1995, 134 fatalities related to cold temperatures have occurred in Illinois, making it the second-leading cause of weather-related deaths in Illinois in the past 18 years. “There are several dangerous health conditions that can occur in winter weather,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck. “It’s important to watch for signs of being too cold or over exertion. Hypothermia, when a person’s body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, can occur both outdoors and indoors and can be fatal. Frostbite, when skin becomes stiff and numb, can cause tissue damage. And watch for signs of over exertion, such as chest pain, when shoveling snow. Know the warning signs of dangerous cold weather health conditions in
order to stay safe and healthy during the winter.” To help Illinois residents prepare for winter, IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross developed a winter weather preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school. The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready. Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925. “Preparing well in advance of winter weather is really the best way to cope when snow, ice and cold temperatures affect us,” said Chris Miller, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the NWS office in Lincoln. “Now is the time to prepare your vehicle and house for winter conditions. Make sure you have blankets, non-perishable food, boots, extra clothing and other items in your car to ride out the storm in case you are stranded or waiting for a tow. At home, make sure you have enough essential items to ride out a storm, in some cases without power, for three days at the very least.”
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER The Village of Standard Has Levels of Arsenic Above Drinking Water Standards Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.

We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on 4/1-6/30 2103 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for arsenic. The standard for arsenic is 0.010 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The average level of arsenic over the last year was 0.017mg/L. What should I do? • You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. What does this mean?

This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. What happened? What is being done? The Village of Standard is waiting for a grant for a treatment facility. We anticipate resolving the problem within the next year. For more information, please contact Mike Holmes at (815) 925-7187 Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).

Pieces of the past Outdoor classroom gets donation
“The bits and pieces of the Hopkins building have been distributed around the county schools.” Ronda Cross, Putnam County Primary School principal
By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The Hopkins Alumni Association has stepped in to assist the Putnam County School District once again. The outdoor classroom, located at Putnam County Primary School — which was also the location of the former Hopkins High School building, needed financial assistance to be completed. Putnam County Superintendent Jay McCracken said the Hopkins Alumni Association has been a supporter of the outdoor classroom concept since the start. He also praised Ronda Cross, Putnam County Primary School principal, for spearheading this project. “The Hopkins Alumni has been working with us from the very beginning,” said McCracken. “We had a number artifacts that have been on display throughout the district, and we worked with them on that project. I also want to note that Ronda was the one
who worked very closely with the landscapers on the project. She really took the lead on this.” The alumni group has used the Putnam Count Primary School for a meeting location, and current president Bob Peterson said the group is appreciative of that. “From the time the new school opened, thanks to Jay for allowing us to put some of our stuff here and using the building,” said Peterson. “The bits and pieces of the Hopkins building have been distributed around the county schools,” Cross said. Cross pointed out a picture in the Hopkins hallway of PCPS has shown the round seating areas that were outside the former Hopkins building with a garden type area. The outdoor classroom project grew out of Cross’s knowledge of the former Hopkins building. “That lent an extend-
ed idea from putting the plaques out there to putting individual benches. We found that this would not have been the most conducive for students and sitting. So we brought in Ekana Nursery who came up with the idea of the built ins. This was perfect around that square,” Cross said. “We wanted it large enough so that we could see the whole classroom for a teacher wanted them to read or do math or whatever topic they wanted to work on,” McCracken said. “Basically we are planning on adding a permanent stone also integrated that would have the original building etched into the stone as well. That’s one more piece we’d like to add.” Dean Inim was the original principal of the this site of the Hopkins High School. According to McCracken, he believed in preserving and promoting fine arts, and that

Inim was ahead of his time as there was a
library along with museum in the school building. “We believe we are bringing this full circle by
preserving some of these pieces and having them in the buildings for the community to enjoy it,” McCracken said.

Putnam County Rotary charters junior high Interact MCNABB — The Putnam County Junior High Interact Club was officially chartered at the school on Oct. 29 and is sponsored by the Putnam County Rotary Club. Rotary District Gov. Ruth Lee of Rock Island attended to personally install the new club’s officers and board members as part of the chartering ceremony. Assistant District Gov. J. Burt of LaSalle also spoke, encouraging the officers and board to take advantage of the support of Rotarians for their service projects. Putnam County Rotary Club secretary Judge Scott Shore spoke on the concepts of leadership, fellowship, service above self and Rotary’s fourway test for truthfulness and fairness, all connecting their new Interact Club, Rotary and the High School Interact Club, chartered by Rotary in 2008. Also in attendance were parents, staff, junior high school Principal Carl Carlson, Superintendent Jay McCracken, 16 Rotarians, PCHS Interact President Amelia Lind-
strom, reporter Olivia Lindstrom and member Jack Huffstodt, to encourage and congratulate the new club. Rotary President Brenda Bickerman offered the club’s full support and invited all to enjoy refreshments provided by Rotary. The event was organized by Rotarian Sandra Woest, who together with Bickerman, Marilyn Calbow and Brandy Sandberg will serve as Rotary liaisons to the new club. The idea of sponsoring an Interact Club was spurred by Rotarians learning that sixth to eighth grade students at the junior high had undertaken community service projects on their own last year. With encouragement from the Rotary District to sponsor Interact and Early Act Clubs for younger students, Bickerman and Woest approached Carlson with the idea in late spring. With his support and the willingness of three volunteer faculty co-advisers, the groundwork was laid for election of officers this fall. Additionally, one member of each homeroom

16 From You 16 • The Putnam County Record • Wednesday, November 6, 2013
From the superintendent’s desk As I compose this message, I find it very difficult to believe the school year is progressing so rapidly. Our students have completed their first grading period, and teachers have conducted a successful set of parent/teacher conferences. Our students have enjoyed a variety of extra-curricular activities while working diligently in academic areas. On behalf of our entire school district, I congratulate our students who have performed so well, including those teams who advanced to sectionals and state competition. We have such talented youth, and we are fortunate to have numerous dedicated teachers and coaches to instruct them. Tremendous opportunities are available in our Putnam County Schools, including increased academic options and a wide array of extra-curricular activities that support the interests of our students. As recently reported in the media, Putnam County C.U.S.D. 535 remains in solid fiscal condition. Our annual audit has provided extensive evidence that our district consistently sets a realistic bud-
get and then carefully adheres to that budget. We remain one of the very few districts in the state of Illinois that does not have any outstanding debt, and we have continued to maintain a perfect score of 4 out of 4 for the financial rating given by the state to our district in fiscal management. Annually, it is my responsibility to report information regarding our Illinois School Report Card. Illinois has launched a new format for the school report card this year, and it can be viewed at illinoisreportcard.com. Included in this report card are fast facts about our district, including total enrollment, number of teachers, student mobility rate, ISAT and PSAE scores, and instructional/ operational spending. Our district did not make AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) as indicated through NCLB measurements. While we are very concerned about student growth and demonstrating academic progress for all students, the NCLB benchmarks are not realistic. For years, educators have recognized that the NCLB percent-
ages required for making AYP would eventually become unattainable for almost all schools. We have now reached that time, and the cut scores were also changed for ISAT, thus making it even more difficult. Our ISAT scores have consistently been very strong in Putnam County, but the change in the scoring methods have resulted in much lower percentages meeting or exceeding standards. ISAT and PSAE scores are more comparable now, but the entire NCLB system is so flawed that it is difficult to recognize any validity in the process. Nonetheless, we are required to conduct these assessments, at the same time that school districts are being required to implement the new Common Core Standards which will have a different set of assessments. We are embracing the changes in instructional practices that are required in the new Common Core Standards, and our Putnam County Schools are on the cutting edge in the implementation of these new, researchbased standards. We have recently made substantial technology purchases to assist with
the implementation of the Common Core Math in our district. All of our teachers have been curriculum mapping in Common Core Standards during the past several years. To summarize, I believe our district is moving in the right direction and making amazing progress in the area of curriculum and academic improvements, despite the fact that we are not making AYP in a system that should have been changed years ago. I extend my tremendous appreciation to our educators who have been working so tirelessly to improve instruction in our schools, as we recognize that our students deserve our very best! Once again, I express my appreciation to the parents and community members in Putnam County who provide such incredible support to our schools ... and most importantly to our students. Without your help, our jobs would be so much more difficult. We are truly grateful for this partnership with all of you, and together ... our P.C. Schools will continue to be leaders in educational excellence! Jay K. McCracken Superintendent
