Emergency services building on schedule By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Board meeting on Nov. 12 started with a moment of silence for Putnam County Emergency Management Agency Supervisor Jim Goldasich and his wife, Sharon. Jim died of cancer on Oct. 27. His wife was killed in a traffic accident on Nov. 11. In other business, the board learned work continues on the Emergency Services building. The concrete

Election filing begins Nov. 25

footings have been poured, and most of the trusses are in place. Work is continuing on schedule, with the building currently 25 percent completed. In other action, the board: • Briefly revisited the application from attorney Roger Bolin to be included in the county’s Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. As it turns out, the decision is not up to the board, since Bolin’s position as public defender is appointed instead of elected. The IMRF will be making the decision. • Heard a report from board member Chauntelle

Biagi-Bruer concerning her meeting with the Hennepin Fourth of July Committee concerning including the commemoration of the courthouse’s 175th anniversary with Hennepin’s Independence Day festivities. • Learned from Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle the report from the testing of the courthouse’s tuck pointing and walls should be coming within the next two weeks. • Received a report on a recycling grant from North Central Illinois Council of Governments’ representative Kendall Cramer.

On the last day, we will keep the office open until 5 p.m. to accept applications. We’ll be closed Nov. 28 and 29 for the holiday.” Anyone who is interested in running for office can pick up a candidate packet from Kuhn’s office at the Putnam County Courthouse in Hennepin. These packets are available throughout the filing period. Offices up for re-election in Putnam County include the county clerk and recorder, currently held by Kuhn; county treasurer, currently held by Kevin Kunkel; county sheriff, currently held by Kevin Doyle and three county board seats, occupied by Duane Calbow, Chauntelle BiagiBruer and Jordan Ellena.

The number of registered voters is down from the 2012 with 4,246 registered countywide. According to the latest census, population has also decreased. Last year, 36 percent of the registered voters in Putnam County went to the polls in the primary election. Peak participation in primary elections was in 2004 when 54 percent of Putnam County’s registered voters exercised their right.

A memory from the past ... Hennepin Township High School By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Several of the small towns in Putnam County have fought to keep their schools. Through the years, due to declining enrollment, financial concerns and the like, area high school have closed. Some have deactivated, and some have merged with others. The village of Hennepin was incorporated in 1817. It grew very rapidly hitting one of its population highlights of 2,144 residents around 1875, according to www.illinoishighschoolglorydays.com. Schools in

Hennepin From Page 1 Hennepin were established in the late 1800s. The school district in Hennepin along with the rest of the county, combined into one large school district in 1966 named Putnam County School District. The new high school was located in Granville. The Hennepin High School mascot was the Mallards, and the school colors were red and white. Hennepin resident Dolores Jessen remembers a small group of students in the high school, and they had a lot of fun. “I graduated in 1946,” she said. “They played baseball, basketball and track at school. The high school had classrooms upstairs, and the grade school

rooms were downstairs. Teachers sometimes doubled up on some things and subjects.” Jessen mentioned her brothers all played in sports. “We didn’t have a gym at that time. We played basketball at the Odd Fellows Hall down by the post office,” she said. Great rivalries were established between several schools in the area like Hopkins High School in Granville and Magnolia-Swaney High School. In the last year of the school’s existence

(1965-66), head coach Joe Massino guided his basketball team to a district championship with a 22-3 record. Massino went on to be principal of Putnam County High School after the consolidation happened. Another graduate of Hennepin Township High school was Class of 1964 student Sharon Petersen. “Everybody was very close knit. In a small school, everybody got to participate in every activity,” she said. “So you had an opportunity to be a cheerleader;

you played basketball. We had a variety of classes. I believe that they tried to have gifted areas if you were better than some other kids you could try different things. “Even though we had a small number of us, we got a lot of oneon-one treatment. It worked really well. I felt the teachers all knew us real well. You had a lot more friends.” Being a graduate of 1964, Petersen was on hand to see the rivalry between the schools as the new high school had the unenviable job

of molding the students into one. “There was a big rivalry between the schools. “Even to this day, I think there is a little bit of that rivalry. People my age still have that rivalry between the schools,” she said. According to Putnam County School Superintendent Jay McCracken, there are many mementos from the area’s discontinued schools being displayed in various locations of the current Putnam County School District buildings.

We Choose Health Grants

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County School District was named to be part of the Bureau-Putnam Health Department’s We Choose Health Grant for the 2013-14 school year. This grant facilitates a study on the health of students in the elementary buildings and provides professional development for the prekindergarten through eighth-grade staff. The grant will have avenues for looking at the district’s wellness in regards to staff health, student activities and food service. Becky Piano, a health educator from the Bureau-Putnam Health Department, was pleased to be working with the Putnam County School District. “The Bureau-Putnam Health Department’s We Choose Health Grant promotes and supports healthy lifestyles that will ultimately improve health, reduce health disparities and control health care spending,” she said. Piano is helping provide professional development for the staff to improve the rate of fully-engaged students during recess and physical education. The activities in physical education will target or limit a student’s wait time to be active in games. While recess will now have more indoor equipment that will allow students to become active and engaged in activities which do not require a lot of space.

Items the district will have access to include new equipment for indoor/outdoor recess as well as physical education which teachers Kyle Anderson and Jimmy Carboni are ready to use in class. Items include a portable outdoor scoreboard, chin-up bar, walking cups, yoga sports, relay puzzles and more. The total cost of the equipment was almost $6,000. Other districts besides Putnam County which received the grant was Bureau Valley and Malden. All three districts completed a survey on the health of their school district. In upcoming months the districts will plan ways to improve health for their students, staff and community. Several staff members from each school attended C.A.T.C.H. training, a curriculum which emphasizes increasing physical activity throughout the day and promoting healthier lifestyles. “We are excited to have this opportunity to work with each of the school districts and are looking forward to helping them determine unique ways to increase health in their districts,” Piano said.

Sunday storm causes headaches By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN – The severe weather system which inflicted major damage to Washington, Ill., and Dana on Nov. 17 did not leave Putnam County totally undisturbed. Reports of power outages and toppled trees were fairly widespread but caused little property damage, although the storm knocked the Putnam County 911 system out. Emergency personnel were forced to rely on regular commu-

nication networks to deal with calls. The Standard Fire Department responded to a gas leak at an aboveground array of natural gas distribution pipes at Moews Seed along Route 89 south of Route 71 around 11 a.m. A resident at the Moews property was evacuated for about an hour while the leak was fixed. In Granville, the storm triggered alarms at the Putnam County high and primary schools. No damage was reported at either building.

Field of Dreams Jake Passini of Standard and Patrick Porosky of Chicago brought their catapult which tosses pumpkins to the baseball park Nov. 10. The friends are both mechanical engineering seniors at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Jake and Patrick took first place in the distance category at the school’s ninth annual Pumpkin Launch. Every year dozens of students from different disciplines at the university compete to design and build machines to throw pumpkins the farthest and most accurately. The Pumpkin Launch was held at the Ed Glancy Baseball Field, where about 100 COMMENTARY students worked to build 12 structures for pumpkin launching. The students took anywhere from a few days to a couple of months to construct slingshots, wooden trebuchets and robotic launchers for the competition. Each machine got three chances to show their power. Jake and Patrick took two, five-gallon buckets and filled them with concrete; they used four international tractor front weights which they winched up to the top of their machine. Then they pulled a rope that dropped the weights down and launched the slingshot to shoot the pumpkin into the air. Each team can have two senior advisers, Jakes’s Dad, Mike Passini, and his grandfather, Syd Glover, were their advisers. Jake and Patrick took first place in the distance category with a record team long shot of 361 feet. At Standard, they shot three times. The first launch went 370 feet and hit a tree about 6 feet up its trunk. They launched the pumpkins from inside the backstop, and all three pumpkins cleared the field, and Earl Souders’ family tractor pulling track on the west side. It was said that the pumpkin leaves the catapult at 100 miles an hour. A large crowd of onlookers watched the launch. Luke Holly furnished the pumpkins. It was a sunny crisp day and fun in the village of Standard. Darrell Alleman of Granville can be reached in care of this newspaper at Putnam County Record, P.O. Box 48, Granville, IL 61326.

On the street

What is your favorite holiday, Thanksgiving or Christmas, and why is that so?

“Probably Thanksgiving because it’s not as crazy as Christmas. I like Christmas also, but Thanksgiving is more like family. You spend more time enjoying them.” George Yauch, Mark

“Thanksgiving because it’s on my birthday.” Deric Miller, Princeton

“Christmas. Because it’s time to spend time with family, and I enjoy all the Christmas lights and the weather and being with my family basically.” Tonia Lester, Hennepin

“I would say Christmas because of the Christmas movies and Christmas music.” Rhiley Wallace (right), Granville (with Karrissa Helen Hedgepeth, Granville)

“You know I love both the holidays, but Thanksgiving, we look at it and we think we should be very thankful for everything that we have, and yes, Thanksgiving is my favorite because Christmas is too commercial. I enjoy Thanksgiving, so my vote is for Turkey Day.” Mary Taylor, Mark

TO Letter THE Editor

Another tribute to Goldasich’s record To The Editor, The memory of Jim Goldasich has been very appropriately honored through the recognition of his leadership in many areas — the strengthening of emergency services in Putnam County, as mayor of McNabb, the remembering of our veterans and more. Of course, we need to express our appreciation for Jim’s own years of service to our country as a member of the U.S. Navy. My purpose in writing is to add yet another area of community service to this distinguished list of Jim’s accomplishments. I am referring to the role Jim played in helping to establish the Putnam County Educational Foundation (PCEF).

Twenty-seven years ago, I went to Jim and asked him to help get the newly-started PCEF off the ground by serving on the original PCEF Board of Trustees. I barely had time to explain to Jim how the purpose of the Foundation was to provide extra educational opportunities to Putnam County students which were beyond the means of the regular school budget, before he immediately agreed to serve. Today, after raising over a million dollars for student scholarships and enrichment grants to the PC Schools, the PCEF has proven its worth and is supported by many generous Putnam County citizens. However, in the mid1980s, very few public schools in Illinois had their own private sector foundations, and none of them were established in small school districts like Putnam County. It was thought that only suburban

or big city school districts with corporate headquarters and high income households could support educational foundations. Given the willingness of a leading citizen like Jim Goldasich to quickly step forward and express his support of this unproven foundation concept was a major early boost to the PCEF’s credibility. Jim even became the chair of the PCEF Board of Trustees. Jim Goldasich provided a great deal of invaluable service to our Putnam County community. One of these important services was to help start the Putnam County Educational Foundation which now, after more than a quarter of a century, has provided thousands of Putnam County students with enriched educations. Reed Wilson, chairman of the PCEF Board McNabb

IDOA grain industry increases Illinois ag exports SPRINGFIELD — Business relationships started on the recently-concluded Illinois Grain Tour may pay immediate dividends for Illinois agribusinesses. The foreign buyers who took part in the five-day, “reverse” trade mission Aug. 25-29 are projecting purchases of $173 million in the coming year. “Trade-building activities like this are extremely important because Illinois agriculture is an exportdependent industry,” Gov. Pat Quinn said. “These strong sales bring us closer to our goal of doubling Illinois exports by 2015.” “The results indicate there is strong demand for Illinois grain and grainrelated products and services in foreign markets,” Agriculture Director Bob Flider added. “Sales are more than triple the $53 million that last year’s tour produced. Our challenge now is to build upon the relationships started on this year’s tour and turn these initial purchases into repeat business.” The tour, which the department conducts annually, brought 42 for-

eign grain buyers to Illinois from China, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Thailand and Vietnam. Stops included farms, transportation facilities and equipment manufacturers as well as the Chicago Board of Trade and Mercantile Exchange. Exports account for 42 percent of the agriculture industry’s cash receipts. In 2011, the state sold $8.3 billion in agricultural products overseas, making it the third-leading agricultural exporter in the United States. This year, for the first time, the Grain Tour was timed to coincide with the Farm Progress Show, where the department organized on-site meetings between foreign buyers and Illinois agribusinesses. In addition, with the help of federal funding obtained through the State Trade Export Program (STEP), an international database was developed that collected information online from nearly 900 Farm Progress registrants. The department’s foreign trade directors in Hong Kong and Mexico will utilize the database to recruit for future

tours and for potential export opportunities. The Grain Tour is just one of the strategies the department uses to find markets for Illinois products, support agriculturebased employment and strengthen the Illinois economy. Last fiscal year, for example, the department participated in 15 international and domestic trade shows, led nine foreign buyers’ missions and industry tours, facilitated 9,030 buyer-seller introductions and disseminated 1,289 trade leads to Illinois companies. These activities generated $61 million in actual sales and another $206 million in projected sales for Illinois food companies and agribusinesses.

PC/Hall wrestling takes on Class 2A By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — It’s November and wrestling practice is well underway for the Putnam County/Hall wrestling squad. Team coaches this year are Jerry Kriewald and Joe Rue. Numbers for the season at this point stand at 33 participants between the two schools. “We will have a full team. We will just be missing a 106-pounder,” Kriewald said. “All these little guys running around the school, and I can’t find one yet to wrestle.” The team welcomes back 16 participants from last year’s squad. However, experience is a little light. “I don’t have anyone with more than one year experience,” he said. “So we are a little less experienced, but they are meaner. They are a little more aggressive on the mat. We are counting on them to be more aggressive and push through the moves. This makes them more mentally tough.” Another challenge for the combined school squad is the move to Class 2A in the IHSA system. The new multiplier has lifted the team into the 2A bracket which has schools with population of 650 to 1,500 students. “We will be in LaSalle-Peru’s regional,” Kriewald said. “That’s actually pretty exciting. You are only as good as what your competition is. A little tougher schedule means a little tougher experience. Being an individual sport, you

can still push the kids through.” Kriewald has team captains from each school. Putnam County has Ben Darwin. Darwin had to sit out last year as a transfer student although he practiced with the team every day. Nathan Tonozzi is the team captain from Hall. The team starts each practice early in the season with extensive cardio-vascular work. Kriewald is a firm believer in making sure each team member doesn’t have the opportunity during the season to hurt himself. “We do a lot of cardio. People don’t realize that we run quite a bit. We don’t run quite as much as the cross country team for sure, but cardio is an aspect. Six minutes of a wrestling match is a lot to get through. You need to be in shape all the way to the end,” Kriewald said. “It’s easy to pull something. You have got to stretch out and warm up everything before you start.” This year’s schedule includes a couple more home meets for the team. “We have our super dual towards the end of the year, which is seven teams over here from the area duking it out in round robins. Our second home meet of Orion and Alleman will be tough,” he said. The PC/Hall team has joined the Three River Conference this year. The team will get its workout. Open gyms during the summer has helped prepare them. “By the end of the season, the team will each wrestle over 40 meets during the year,” Kriewald said. The team’s first home meet will be Dec. 5 versus Sterling Newman and Amboy high schools.

PC JV Panthers practice The 2013-14 Putnam County junior varsity Panthers were already hard at work in practice this past week.

GRANVILLE — The train is rolling and on it are the Putnam County Panthers who are starting practices on the 2013-14 season. Coach Josh Nauman is back and happy to get back to work. “We started yesterday,” he said. “Varsity we basically have 13. We will probably dress a few more sophomores, too. JV and fresh numbers are good. All our coaches have said the same. We will have former Panther standout Anthony Ahlers helping out when he can as well.” While losing two strong players to graduation, Xavier Warren and Cody Veronda, Nauman has been pleased with the returning players. “We got quite a bit back. Harold (Fay), who was our leading scorer and Evan (Kreiser) and Sam (Garland) are also our leaders. Jake (Theobald) and Mike (Weide) both gave us some good playing time last year,” he said. The Panthers round out their team with Austin Biagini who scored 27 points in limited action in 11 varsity games last year. Justin Galetti and Wes Allison played in 16 games last year as well. Alec Veverka played in eight varsity games as a freshman last year and scored 3.3 points per game. Jeff Baker, Kyle Hoge, Deion Nolan and Nick DiazDeLeon are new to varsity action. Nauman is also looking forward to Hoge and Nolan adding to the Panther team as they are new to Putnam County basketball too. Offensively and defensively, the Panthers are looking to get stronger and better at what they do, Nauman said. “We are going to be working on the same stuff as last year,” he said. “Defense and offense will be just about the same. We are working on a few different plays and a few different out of bounds stuff that tends to change from year to year.” Being another year older is going to be a big asset for the Panthers. “We have a lot of experience back which is great to have. Having some kids moving up from junior varsity will help. Then we add the two new guys. It will be interesting,” he said. As far as opponents, the schedule will stay quite the same with the exception of a couple of instances. “St. Bede got dropped because they joined a new conference,” Nauman said. “We dropped Somonauk. To replace those, we have Chicago North Lawndale coming in on a Friday night. The following day on Saturday, we have our shootout in which we will add Seneca. It will be two new games in one weekend, and it will be the two toughest teams we will face all season.” As a coach, Nauman wants the team to face some challenges to become better players. “North Lawndale will be ranked in Class 3A. I heard even in their first open gym, they had 21 college coaches there,” Nauman said. “They will bring quickness and talent that we don’t see on a regular basis. This will make us better by getting a chance to play against it.” The Panthers will also play Streator and IVC-Chillicothe which are both Class 3A schools during the season. Kewanee Wethersfield Tournament will kick off the 2013-14 campaign Nov. 25-30. The first home game will be against Fieldcrest on Dec. 3.
