Time to prepare for Old Man Winter

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) recently promoted Winter Preparedness Month in Illinois. Both agencies are hoping to help Illinois residents get prepared for extreme cold temperatures and the dangers they bring.

“You should have a winter preparedness kit,” Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle said. “A blanket, some water, extra boots, gloves and

Same-sex marriage becomes a law HENNEPIN — Starting in June 2014, same-sex couples will be able to obtain marriage licenses in Illinois. Currently, those couples who have been able to get civil union licenses through county clerk offices throughout the state.

Putnam County Clerk Dan Kuhn said his office has only processed one civil union application, since the civil union legislation went into effect in June 2011. That application was picked up in October of this year. The civil union application and license is returned to his office and processed just like a marriage license would be.

Once the new samesex marriage license becomes effective in June, Kuhn does not expect any additional paperwork or expense to his office. The county clerk’s office in Bureau County has recorded seven civil unions since June 2011.

The same-sex marriage bill was signed into law

by Gov. Pat Quinn on Nov. 20 at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

With its signing, Illinois became the 15th state to allow same-sex marriage.

socks if you have to dig yourself out; go on the Internet, and there are a lot of good suggestions.”

“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.”

Another issue each winter is the number of new and inexperienced drivers who have not had as much time to learn how to drive on ice-crusted and frozen Illinois roads.

Good winter driving habits are essential.

“People generally pay more attention when the weather is bad. They keep a better eye out; they stay off the cell phone,” Doyle said. “Speed is the thing.

Speed is what seems to contribute to most crashes we see — driving too fast for conditions.”

There are always unfortunate deaths related to extreme cold tempera-

tures during each year.

In 2012 nationwide there were eight deaths related to the cold weather, all occurring indoors including three in Illinois. This number is lower than the last 10 years’ national average of 27 cold weather-related deaths, according to IEMA.gov.

“Stay with your car.

Don’t try to walk for help unless you can see a house,” Doyle said. “Call emergency and give us your approximate position, and we’ll come to you. If you leave your car, you can get disoriented in the snow, especially during January

when it’s often snowing and blowing.”

“There are several dangerous health conditions that can occur in winter weather,” Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck said. “It’s important to watch for signs of being too cold or overexertion. 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.”

“When we suggest don’t travel, we’re not just say-

ing it,” Doyle said. “Conditions may be fine in town, but out on the open road, it’s completely different.”

Illinois residents can find updates and assistance in preparing for the upcoming winter weather from a winter preparedness guide put together by the American Red Cross, the NWS and the IEMA. The guide explains winter weather terminology as well as having updates for staying safe at home, in a car and at school. The guide can be found at the ReadyIllinois website at www.Ready.

Looking through colored glass Schrowang’s craft class turns into a passion

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MCNABB — What started as a craft class at the Hennepin Steel Mill has turned into a profitable hobby for Tamara Schrowang. As the owner of Clear Creek Stained Glass; she’s made dozens of works of art with colored and textured glass and a lot of creativity.

“I worked at the Hennepin Steel Mill for over 20 years, and during that time, our union had an IC program. We had a guest instructor come out to one of the plant’s outbuildings and give classes,” Schrowang said. “I took the class on a whim, and I fell in love with it. I went out and bought a grinder and some glass and started in a corner in the basement.”

Schrowang’s business swelled as she worked her way out of the basement and into a section of her garage. Six years ago, she outgrew her garage and built her studio where she works today in addition to working at D&M Landscaping in Spring Valley.

She loves the challenges the hobby brings.

“It’s a lot of fun. Noth-

In addition to her stained glass windows and other creations, Schrowang is now making garden and paving stones for the garden. ing’s ever the same with it. Every sign is different, even if I’m making multiples of something, there’s always something just a little bit different with each one,” Schrowang said. “I used to work swing shift, and when I got off work, I’d come out here and work. Sometimes I’d be here until 3 o’clock in the morning because it’s relaxing to me.

“I don’t know if you’d call it a dying art, but it’s just not something you see a lot of,” Schrowang said. “It’s not a cheap hobby, but it’s so rewarding when a customer comes out and says, ‘I have this thought, this design; what can you do for me?’ and it makes me feel great when a customer says, ‘That’s exactly what I wanted.’”

Schrowang uses a lot of

books for inspiration and does her initial designs on the computer in her workshop with a CAD program. From there, she will mark her glass on a lightboard before cutting and grinding each piece to fit her pattern. It’s a time-consuming process with an individual finished product taking seven or more hours to complete.

Schrowang is branch-

ing out and now does painted flagstones as well. Several are on display in her shop, and like her stained glass windows, she’s happy to do custom work.

Clear Creek Stained Glass is located at 4026 Swaney Road, McNabb.

MCNABB — Mike Schrowang is unapologetic; he’s a ham. No, he’s not a bad actor; he’s an amateur radio operator and has been for 31 years ... and to say he’s enthusiastic about his hobby is an understatement. From his radio station in the garage of his McNabb home, Schrowang has talked to fellow ham operators all over the world.

“I wish I knew about this hobby when I was younger because it would have changed my life from what it had been,” Schrowang said.

“I’m certified as a first class license holder. I know Morse code. I enjoy it immensely; to me that’s the pinnacle of it,” Schrowang said. “They used to require it until around 2000; you had to show proficiency in order to get your license. That stopped when so many other counties stopped requiring it.”

Ham radios were once one of the main forms of information and assistance during disasters before the advent of computers and cell phones. However, computers have helped change the nature of ham radio operators in a positive way. Schrowang uses a website that shows where radio reception is active and what satellites are in position for longdistance communication.

Mike Schrowang searches for an active signal on his ham radio station outside McNabb. Schrowang has been an amateur radio operator for 31 years.

“We have activity going into Europe this morning. You can see a little bit in Africa, “ Schrowang said. “The different frequency bands will be open at various times. Lower frequencies come open at night; higher ones will be active during the daytime, and that’s when you work some of your foreign stations. It’s amazing tools that

you’ve got with the Internet.”

Each country has its own unique call-sign — a set of letters at the front of the licenseholders registry number — that indicates where it’s from, and one of the things ham operators do as a type of competition is collect frequencies from other countries. After contact on the air, the operators will

send a printed card with their frequency number to the other person. Schrowang can tell you which country is which without blinking.

“That’s Greece, ‘HA’ is Hungary, ‘OH’ is Finland, ‘LA’ is Norway and ‘PU’ is Brazil,” he said. “It’s another thing about ham radio — you can ask me the name of any country, and I can tell you where it’s at and what’s around it. There’s currently over 330 countries on the air, and I’ve talked to over 250 of them.”

With the large number of cell phones and face-to-face computer communication programs, you might think ham radio is on its way out, but that’s not the case. According to figures from the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), an international organization of ham operators, the hobby has been experiencing a resurgence of late with more 750,000 ham operators in the United States, at least 10,000 joining in the last six months.

“It’s pretty easy to get started.

You can buy radios today under $300, and you can study and get your license on line,” Schrowang said. “We’re always welcoming new operators. You can talk to people all over the world that share your interests, that tell you new things – it’s a blast.”

Information on ham radios and how to get started can be found at the ARRL website, www.arrl.org.

Mark weighs curbside recycling

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MARK — The village of Mark may be following suit with Granville and begin curbside recycling. Dave Schwab of Waste Management Inc. presented the idea to the village board on Nov. 20.

“You’ve experienced the same problems that Granville has with the cessation of the recycling drop-off in Granville,” Schwab said.

“We understood going in the center was going to be a community thing, not just Granville.”

Waste Management will be offering curbside recycling to the village at a reduced rate from their normal fees. Schwab gave the board a quote of $2.65 a month per household with service starting in December, if the board accepts the proposal.

“Recycling is a learned activity. You know how to

separate it out, and you know what to do with it,” Schwab said. “The habit’s already there; we’re just making it simpler. You don’t have to put it in your car; you don’t have to gather it up and get it there.

Just put it next to the garbage.”

Board members are expected to be making a decision on the proposal at the Dec. 4 meeting.

In other business, the board:

• Approved the annexation of the Timberline property owned by Dan and Don Cioni. The action was recommended by the village zoning board. The land will be zoned as residential.

• Discussed a request from Granville resident Summer Pappan to establish a place in town where the village could collect contributions for the victims of the Washington tornado on Nov. 17. The

board opted instead to spread word through the village on collection points in Granville.

• Reviewed the preliminary mailing address verification maps received from the U.S. Postal Service.

Mayor Frank Niewinski said there are some discrepancies in the maps and the numbers on some of the homes, and a house-byhouse check is necessary to confirm addresses and development.

Madigan warns residents about ‘storm chasers’

Winter concert announced

AG investigators assist law enforcement to combat repair-related scams SPRINGFIELD — Following devastating tornadoes and severe storms that raced across Illinois on Sunday, Attorney General Lisa Madigan urged residents to be on alert for home repair con artists looking to exploit homeowners and local businesses needing repairs due to stormrelated destruction and damage.

Madigan warned of home repair scammers who follow media accounts and quickly move into affected areas to take advantage of people. Madigan noted these “storm chasers” use the opportunity to pressure people into making impulsive, often expensive, decisions about cleanup and construction work. Madigan encouraged local residents and business owners to call local law enforcement agencies and her office’s Consumer Fraud Hotline (800-386-5438) to report any suspicious activity. Investigators with her office, who already have been assisting local authorities in Washington, Ill., since Nov. 17, will look into complaints received about contrac-

tors.

“In the wake of this weekend’s devastating storms, communities face a long recovery process,” Madigan said.

“During this challenging time, I encourage area residents to be cautious and on alert for scammers trying to take advantage of people in need of assistance.”

Seven Illinois counties have been declared disaster areas including Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell, Washington and Woodford counties.

Madigan recommended verifying contractors in these areas have all necessary licenses, insurance and permits, and she encouraged taking extra caution before making any decisions to repair or rebuild damaged or destroyed property by avoiding rushing into signing a contract or making an upfront payment.

Madigan offered these additional tips to residents and businesses from being duped by dishonest contractors: • Be wary of contractors who go door to door to offer repair services.

Ask for recommendations from people you

know and trust, and whenever possible, use established local contractors.

• Call the Attorney General’s (http://illinoisattorneygeneral. gov/about/hotlines. html) Consumer Fraud Hotline to check out a contractor and to learn if any complaints have been filed against a particular business.

• Even if there is a need to act quickly, shop around for the best deal. Get written estimates from multiple contractors, and don’t be rushed into a deal.

• Get all of the terms of a contract in writing, and obtain a copy of the signed contract.

• Never make full payment until all the work has been completed to your satisfaction.

• Never pay in cash.

• Be aware that you have the right to cancel a contract within three business days if you signed it, based on the contractor’s visit to your home.

• In the case of disaster repair, you have an additional right to cancel. If your insurance carrier denies coverage, you have the right to cancel the contract within five days of when

your insurance carrier denies your coverage.

• Ask to see required state and local permits and licenses. Insurance adjusters and roofers must be licensed by state agencies. If the contractor does not have a required license, or if the name on the license doesn’t match the name on the contractor’s business card or equipment, that should raise a red flag.

Madigan reminded consumers that the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act requires contractors to furnish customers with written contracts for any repair or remodeling work costing more than $1,000. A contract must be signed by both the customer and the contractor. The law also requires contractors to carry at least minimum amounts of insurance for property damage, bodily injury and improper home repair. Contractors also must provide consumers with an informational pamphlet titled (http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/consumers/homerep0505c. pdf) “Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights.”

Home is where my heart is “So where are you headed off to college at?” The graduation invitation salesman asked each of my fellow class officers in the last months of my senior year.

We were all very conditioned to this type of question by then, and the other four officers’ schools rang in my ears as if they were gleaming palaces only for the best: Platteville, Iowa State, Aurora, COMMENTARY and another Iowa State. Ah, the luxury of a four year college … I mused as I meekly replied, “Oh, I’m just going to IVCC.” “Just IVCC? Why, no need to be ashamed. I’d say you’re the smartest one of the bunch. Just think of the money you’ll be saving, and IVCC is really a very nice school.”

I remember a blush coming on and smiling from ear to ear, feeling pretty good about my decision to attend a junior college, but I was still feeling a little gypped about missing out on the whole college experience. All my friends would start to get the freedom and independence I so longed for, as well as getting to live with and meet all kinds of new people. I couldn’t help but be just the wee-ist bit jealous.

My feelings on the issue didn’t take too long to change, though. For one, I didn’t have to move out all of my belongings into a possibly tiny, uncomfortable room with other people I didn’t know. Also, I didn’t have to take out a loan for my upwards to $30,000 or $40,000 tuition cost, and I wouldn’t be unluckily paired with a rude, messy or crazy roommate. The list could go on and on.

Yes, I do have to drive 40 minutes every day to get to school, and I do have to deal with my family every night (don’t worry, just kidding!), but after talking to one of my friends who lives away at college in a dorm, I realize that I have it pretty good.

I get to come home to my comfortable, roomy house every night with home-cooked meals and the freedom to drive or go wherever I want. I get my own shower and double-sized bed with all of my belongings at fingertip access. And perhaps best of all I get to keep the relationships with my family that so many college students lack.

Since losing the constant attention from a relationship and also losing some of my closer friends to college both about the same time a few months back, I’ve learned the importance of needing to nurture my relationships more. The people that you love and that love you aren’t necessarily there for life, and if you are not careful, they could up and leave in the blink of an eye.

I am not a very outgoing person, an introvert by nature, so making lots of new friends and being the life of the party is definitely not my strong suit.

Through realizing this about myself, I also figured out that while meeting new people is fantastic, often maintaining long-time friends and family is the most important because we will always be closest to them.

Reflecting on this idea, one of the highlights of my days has been the almost nightly walks with my mom. We love to take quick half hour strolls through the scenic areas of Princeton or on country roads by our house while discussing our days and just being there for each other. Due to these quick catch-up sessions, my mom has become one of my best friends; always there to listen, rejoice, mourn, advise or whatever I need each day while I try to give the same in return.

It isn’t always perfect, and we have our share of disagreements, but I am so thankful for this growth in our relationship because I know that my mom will always be there whether I like it or not, and I love that we get along so well and have learned to understand and be patient with one another.

Another time I cherish is the occasional homework sessions I share with my brother. Mind you,

So what do you think about holiday music? Thumbs up?

Thumbs down? What are some of your favorites if you like it?

“I like Christmas music when it is in December, you know let’s not push Christmas. My favorite song would have to be ‘O Holy Night.’”

Sue Seifert, McNabb

“I enjoy traditional Christmas music. It’s sung too early. I mean the first of November I have XM radio, and they were playing it already.”

David Morris, Granville

“I like the traditional Christmas music at home maybe during Christmas week. But I don’t like it from Halloween on.”

Bert Giuliani, Granville

“I like Christmas music at Christmastime, not at Halloween. I liked the old fashioned ones, from church and things.”

Jerry Mcintyre, Granville

“I would agree, I like it when it is in December. For my favorite song, I like them all, ‘Jingle Bells.’ I just like them all.”

Did you really give that back?

I always count my change while I’m still in line at the gas station or fast food place or wherever.

Today when I did it, I found the cashier gave me an extra dollar, so I gave it back to her. The guy behind me looked at me like I was insane as I walked out the door.

That happens a lot these days; the cashier hands me too much money, and I give it back (which makes me worry about how well they teach math these days, but that’s another day) to the amazement of those around me.

Apparently, honesty is not in vogue these days, and that worries me.

“It was only a dollar. Why would you give it back? They’ll never miss it.” I hear that a lot.

But someone will find out, and the cashier gets in trouble. But there’s a more important reason why I give it back.

It’s simply the right thing to do.

These days, money is tight for everyone; You, me, the corner grocer, the state of Illinois (although that one’s their fault) and everyone else outside the 1 percent. I’ll probably miss the dollar a lot more than British Petro-

Ken Schroeder COMMENTARY leum will, but that’s not the point.

Keeping the money would be dishonest; you’re pretty much stealing from someone else. Not only would I not want someone to do that to me, I don’t feel right doing it to someone else.

Yet we’re always surprised when someone turns in money they found. In the news today, a homeless man who returned a wallet full of money he found in a trash bin is receiving contributions from all over the country, and a local hotel gave him $500 and a place to stay through Thanksgiving. I definitely applaud him for turning it in, and I especially recognize the people sending him donations, but I have to wonder when the act of returning money to someone who lost it became a national news story.

We now expect dishonesty from other people. That’s the message I get from this, and it’s frightening.

we don’t always get a lot of homework accomplished with all of the distractions, but I love being able to catch up and enjoy a few laughs together amongst our very different schedules.

We can do this because we both drive to our colleges, so I am thankful for campuses within driving distance. Without them my brother would not have lived at home for the past four years, and this year I would also not be home, guaranteeing no brother-sister time on a regular basis.

IVCC has really been a blessing for me in so many ways. I know that junior colleges aren’t for everyone, but I encourage all students to give them a chance because they are the perfect

We’ve gotten used to politicians telling their side of the truth. People wonder why this is true, and the thing to remember is most politicians in major offices started out as lawyers. I’m not saying lawyers lie, but they have to be very creative with the truth sometimes to win their case. That definitely carries over into politics.

While there’s a quote often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, it’s really a summary of a longer passage Mahatma Gandhi once said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” If you’re looking for more honesty and respect in the world, you have to show it.

So, the next time you pay with cash and the person behind the counter gives you too much change, give it back. True, no one is likely to hold a parade for you because of it, but it becomes an occurrence that snowballs the more it happens, and the feeling of goodwill lasts quite a while.

Now, if only we could teach the Illinois government basic math ...

transition from high school to universities and the “real world” (and I absolutely love my professors!).

But more importantly, IVCC has allowed me to maintain and strengthen many of the relationships that are the most essential to me, which is much harder for those who are away at school. I will eventually move away to a campus and experience the other parts of college, but for now I am very thankful to be living at home and being with the people that care about me most.

Former Putnam County resident earns honor

By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

OGLESBY – The Illinois Small Business Development Center (ISBDC) at Illinois Valley Community College honored the Class of 2013 “40 Under Forty” this fall. Gina Czubachowski, business specialist for ISBDC, explained what the event was about.

“This was our third year of bringing together the young generation. This generation is important to our local businesses and economies as they are helping drive growth and leadership within their organizations or communities,” she said.

Each year that ISBDC hosts this event, the 40 honored individuals, nominators and guests have the opportunity to network and meet each other. The event reminds them that the area is not losing talent, but it is actually growing, Czubachowski said.

A former resident from Putnam County, Keenan Campbell was nominated by four different Putnam County residents to be honored. Campbell has been mentoring with the late Jim Goldasich through the Putnam County Emergency Management Agency for the last six to seven years.

Campbell’s official role with the group is communications officer. He has worked hand in hand with the redesign of the building that is currently being made into the Emergency Management Center in Hennepin. Where the group could, they found savings on not only the building, but the furnishings.

“The nice thing about it was that we got an awful lot of furnishings including computers from State Farm in Bloomington-Normal,” Campell said.

He noted he was totally unaware of the “40 under Forty” event.

“I guess I received like four nominations for this thing,” he said. “They told me that there were over 700 nominees. So I was one of 40 for my work with EMA.” The position of communications officer that Campbell holds for the Putnam County EMA is strictly volunteer. He also served on the building committee with several other members. The group visited other emergency management centers, taking notes and asking what worked for them and what did not work to assist them in designing the layout of the current building in Hennepin.

“Jim (Goldasich) and I, Quinten Buffington and Andy Jackson were on this committee. My background is in electrical engineering. So all the phone systems were designed by me, wiring schemes and the like. The actual original drawings for the building I did. I then presented them to the committee, and then they picked the sizes of the rooms,” he said.

When Goldasich got sick, Campbell was nominated for his position with IESMA, (Illinois Emergency Services Management Agency) as Region 2 Vice President. This new volunteer position meant that he would be visiting 17 counties as needed and meet with the coordinators for each county.

“We help set up policies.

We inform them of what the state can do for them,” he said. “We ask them about what equipment they may need. IESMA has a cache of generators that are prepositioned throughout the state. So we want to make sure that they would know what we can do for them.”

Campbell also has his own business — KD Campbell Consulting. He also has been active in the past as a volunteer firefighter.

Here are five things you need to know about Social Security for 2014.

For clarity’s sake, here is a rundown of what is changing next year, and what isn’t.

1. Social Security recipients are getting a raise — but not much of one. Next year, the average monthly Social Security payment will increase by $19 due to a 1.5 percent cost-of-living adjustment, one of the smallest annual COLAs in the program’s history.

Since 1975, only seven COLAs have been less than 2 percent. Four of these seven COLAs have occurred in the past five years, however. The 2013 COLA was 1.7 percent.

How does Social Security measure COLAs? It refers to the federal government’s Consumer Price Index, specifically the CPI-W, which tracks how inflation affects urban wage earners and clerical workers. Social Security looks at the CPI-W from July to September of the present year to figure the Social Security COLA for next year, so the 2014 COLA reflects the very tame inflation measured in summer 2013.

Does the CPI-W accurately measure the inflation pressures that seniors face? Some senior advocacy groups say it doesn’t. The Senior Citizens League, a non-profit that lobbies for elders and retired veterans, contends that Social Security recipients have lost 34 percent of their purchasing power since 2000 because the CPI-W doesn’t track rising health care expenses correctly.

2. Chained CPI is not yet being used to determine COLAs. Some analysts and legislators would like Social Security

A Division of Ed Hartwig Trucking & Excavating, Inc. The perfect way to discard old roofing materials.

Christian Cyr COMMENTARY COLAs to be based on chained CPl, a formula which assumes some consumers are buying cheaper/alternative products and services as prices rise. Supporters think pegging Social Security COLAs to chained CPI could reduce the program’s daunting shortfall by as much as 20 percent in the long term.

The CPI-W is still the CPI of record, so to speak. That’s good for retirees, as the Congressional Budget Office says COLAs would be about 0.3 percent smaller if they were based on chained CPl. Perhaps this sounds bearable for one year, but according to AARP, a 62-year-old who retired and claimed Social Security in 2013 would be losing the equivalent of an entire month of income per year by age 92 if chained CPI were used to figure benefit increases.

3. Social Security’s maximum monthly benefit is increasing. In 2013, a Social Security recipient who had reached full retirement age could claim a maximum monthly benefit of $2,533. Next year, the limit will be $2,642.

4. Social Security’s annual earnings limit is also increasing. This limit is only faced by Social Security recipients who have yet to reach the month in which they turn 66. In 2013, retirees younger than 66 were able to earn up to $15,120 before having $1 in retirement benefits temporarily withheld for every $2 above that level. In 2014, the annual earnings limit rises to $15,480. Social Security recipients who will turn 66 next year can earn up to $41,400 in 2014; if their earnings break through that ceiling, they will have $1 of their benefits temporarily withheld for every $3 above that level. Once you get to the month in which you celebrate your 66th birthday, you can earn any amount of income thereafter without a withholding penalty.

5. On the job, the wage base for Social Security taxes is rising. American workers will pay a 6.2 percent payroll tax on the initial $114,000 of their incomes in 2014. The 2013 payroll tax cap was set at $113,700. About 6 percent of working Americans will pay more in Social Security tax next year as a consequence of this seemingly insignificant adjustment.

Putnam County whips DePue

Sports PC’s Chris Walker wins softball coach of the year

By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Illinois Coaches Association for High School Softball has announced its slate for the 2013 coach of the year award winners. Putnam County Lady Panthers Head Coach Chris Walker has earned the award for the third time.

“I’m very fortunate to be the third coach of the year award that is presented by the Illinois Coaches Association for High School Softball,” Walker said.

The Putnam County Lady Panthers were guided to IHSA sectional play in Class 1A during 2013 spring season.

Walker, who won the award in 2007 and 2009, joins the Class 1A Sectional of the Year award winners who include Brade Grenoable of Milledgeville, John Wedell of Elgin, Shanna Massey of Goreville, Matt Baalman of Hardin, Nancy Meyer of Illini Bluffs, Greg Neisler of Raymond and Kristen Storey of Okawville.

The Illinois Coaches Association has been in existence since 1928. There are eight sections in the state of Illinois and one coach is chosen from each section in each sport at the high school level.

Coaches whose schools are members of the Illinois High School Association make nominations of their peers for this award.

Voss leads all scorers DEPUE — The undefeated Lady Panthers easily handed DePue a defeat at its own gym.

Putnam County stampeded past the DePue Lady Giants 82-10 in a one-sided contest.

PC woke up strong and ran up a 22-0 lead during the first quarter.

While DePue came alive in the second quarter, the team was unable to cope with the height and the tempo of the Lady Panthers. Putnam County would score 24 points in both the second and third quarters, and tallied another 12 in the fourth. The Lady Giants were only able to muster four points in the second and fourth, with a lone basket in the third.

PC/Hall wrestling co-op wins Sterling Newman tourney

By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

STERLING — The Putnam County-Hall Wrestling Co-op team did it again.

For the second year in a row, the Panthers won the 13-team Sterling Newman Catholic Tournament.

The Panthers took first with 152 points. Coming in second place was Dixon with 145. Third place was earned by Rock Island with 136 1/2 points while West Carroll took fourth with 131 points. Polo place fifth with 119 points.

Head coach Jerry Kreiwald was tickled with the results of the tourney.

“What a great way to

start off the season,” he said. “This has excited the guys to gear up for our first home dual meet on Thursday against Amboy and Sterling Newman at 5:30 p.m. I also want to give special thanks to coach (Joe) Rue and coach (Chris) Quigley for all your dedication to the boys.”

The rotation for the tournament started at the 132 weight class. PC-Hall’s Mario Flores took first and went 3-0 in matches during the day. Nathan Diaz placed fifth in the same weight bracket. Diaz went 1-2 on the day.

Kreiwald said, “Flores is really starting to evolve as an experienced wrestler.”

Newcomer R.J. Copeland made a splash by taking second place overall in the 145-pound weight bracket.

Kreiwald said Copeland learned from any mistakes early and didn’t repeat them.

“R.J. really made a statement today in a 12-man bracket going 3-1 on the day. This being his first tournament, he really adapted well and jumped right in. His natural athleticism will do him very well the more technique he learns,” he said.

At the 160-pound weight class, Luke McCook showed why he is made of the right stuff by wrestling five matches to take

third in his weight class.

Kreiwald was enthusiastic in his praise for the wrestler.

“McCook went 4-1 for the day. He lost his fist match to the eventual champ and wrestled back to a third-place finish with a four match win streak,” he said. “It takes a lot to wrestle two or three matches a day, never mind five. Shows a lot of guts and pride.”

The second overall champion for the day was Cole Elliott. He wrestled at the 170 weight class.

Kreiwald noted the focus Elliott displayed as he competed.

“He wrestled with deter-

mination all day and never let up. What a champ,” he said.

The remaining scoring for PC-Hall came from James Hall who placed second in the 195 weight class. Hall held a 2-1 record on the day. Matt Briddick earned a third-place finish in the same weight class with an overall 2-2 record.

Evan Kiphart also wrestled in the 195 weight class and placed fifth with a 1-3 record. Kreiwald acknowledged all three PC-Hall wrestlers did well.

“What a really great group to coach and watch,” he said.

The final PC-Hall champ of the day was at the 220

weight class in the form of Marco Gutierrez. With a perfect 4-0 record, Kreiwald said at the heavier weights it is not all about strength.

“He was a great demonstration of how technique over takes power. He really out wrestled some beasts!” he said.

Also in the 220 weight class, first year wrestlers Trevor Case took third and Isaac Marquez took fifth.

Kreiwald and the coaches were pleased with their efforts.

The next wrestling meet for PC-Hall will be at home on Dec. 5 in a triangular event versus Sterling Newman and Amboy.

PC’s Wilson to play softball at Cardinal Stritch

Stephanie Wilson (front center) signs her letter of intent to attend Cardinal Stritch University, surrounded by PC golf coach Eric Ciucci (left), Cardinal Stritch golf coach Tim Eckard, parents Kim (left rear) and Steve Wilson and grandmother Gladys King.

GRANVILLE — When she was in grade school, Stephanie Wilson had never touched a golf club. On Nov. 27, Putnam County senior Wilson signed her letter of intent to play golf for Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wis. Wilson’s first visit on Memorial Day this year convinced her it was her best choice.

“I liked the team and how it’s close and family-like. I liked the school and how small it was,” Wilson said. “I loved downtown Milwaukee. I just fell in love with Cardinal.”

“I found Stephanie’s profile online, saw that she had a fantastic swing, and did a little research on her,” said Tim Eckard, Cardinal Stritch golf coach.

“Coming from a small town, and the process she went through just to have a golf team at her school and to take that on herself shows the kind of leadership we really want. Having a student coming on from the same area as me was a neat thing for me.” Eckard is from Walnut and attended IVCC.

After being introduced to golf by her grandmother Gladys King, Wilson decided it was a good fit for her, but Putnam County didn’t have a girls golf program. So she started one. Wilson and three other girls — none of whom had ever played golf — played the first year of golf without a coach. PC boys golf coach Eric Ciucci took on coaching responsibilities during Wilson’s sophomore year.

“It’s exciting for our girls golf program to have her move on into a four-year university. She has worked extremely hard for this, and I believe Steph’s best golf is still ahead of her,” Ciucci said.

“Going to a four-year university with a full-time coach, they’re going to be able to open up doors for her and make her just that much a better player.”

“I’m very proud,” Stephanie’s mother, Kim Wilson, said. “She never missed a day golfing. We’re all proud of her. She made it to sectionals as a sophomore, a junior and a senior. And the team went to sectionals when she was a junior and senior.”

In addition to joining the golf team, Wilson will be studying to be a nurse.

CHILLICOTHE— The Putnam County/Hall wrestling co-op took to the road for a triangular wrestling meet last week versus Illinois Valley Chillicothe and Streator High School wrestling squads.

In the first meet, PC/Hall gave up four weight classes at 106, 113, 126 and 152 pounds. This led to a final score of IVC 52 to PC/Hall with 24 points. Winners for the Panther squad included Dominic Elliot at 120 points by pinfall; Luke McCook at 160 pounds by pinfall; Nathan Tonozzi at 182 pounds by pinfall and Marco Gutierrez at 220 pounds by pinfall.

In the second meet of the evening, PC/Hall again had to give up the four weight classes, giving Streator four wins by forfeit as well. Streator took the meet by a score of 56 to 24. Winning by pinfall were Dominic Elliot at 120 pounds; Mario Flores at 132 pounds and Nathan Tonozzi at 182 pounds. Streator gave PC/Hall one win by forfeit.

Head coach Jerry Kreiwald noted that while the team fell short in these two meets, things will turn around as team members learn to eat sensibly and make their weight class safely. Watching sodium intake is important and eating consistently but not junk food is important during season.

The PC/Hall team assistant coach is Joe Rue and volunteer coach is Chris Quigley.

The squad will host their first home meet against Sterling Newman and Amboy on Dec. 5.

Marseilles memorial honors fallen soldiers MARSEILLES — Not all war memorials stand in Washington, D.C. The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial stands in Marseilles on the banks of the Illinois River. The wall was dedicated in 2004 to those who have lost their lives in worldwide conflicts since 1979.

Every June, the names of the newly-fallen are added to the wall during the Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run. The soldiers, their family and friends are honored during this yearly event.

Thousands of motorcyclists honor the fallen.

The memorial sits on land donated and adjacent to the IV Cellular headquarters. Since its creation, people have left mementos and tributes at the memorial for the fallen soldiers. Due to the amount of treasures left behind, IV Cellular turned part of their lobby into the Middle East Conflicts Memorial Museum.

The Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial is located at 200 Riverfront Drive, Marseilles.

The top leadership organization for girls More than 21,000 girls in Central Illinois are members of the Girl Scouts SPRINGFIELD — Girl Scouts of Central Illinois (GSCI) is still accepting 2013 registrations for girls ages 5-17 who would like to become part of a troop. Today in central Illinois, more than 21,000 girls participate in troops and Girl Scouting activities in their communities, and the number continues to grow.

Girl Scouts is widely recognized as the top leadership organization for girls in the world. Today’s Girl Scout Leadership Experience, although embedded in the tradition of cookies and camping, offers girls more than ever before. Girl Scouting provides more opportunities than any other organization to help girls and young women develop their leadership potential and build practical life skills.

“Girl Scouts has evolved to meet the needs of today’s girls,” said Jamie Stout, director of membership and volunteerism. “We help build girls of courage, confidence and character by providing the tools and support to young girls that feeds their drive to succeed in all aspects of life. And we empower and encourage them to become good stewards to the environment and their communities. There is no other organization like it in the world.”

One core concentration in the organization today is exposing girls to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)

“We help build girls of courage, confidence and character by providing the tools and support to young girls that feeds their drive to succeed in all aspects of life.”

Jamie Stout, Girl Scouts of Central Illinois director of membership and volunteerism in a way that inspires a future career path. When today’s girls graduate from college, the United States will need three million more scientists and engineers, yet women account for fewer than 20 percent of the bachelor’s degrees in engineering, computer science and physics. Research shows that by middle school, girls begin to shy away from STEM, but when they are able to explore STEM fields and careers in a girl-only environment with female role models, this enhances their skills, confidence and learning.

Girl Scouts also boasts the top financial literacy program in the nation for girls — and it starts with cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program has grown into a leading business and economic literacy program that is run by and for girls. The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides an important ingredient for leadership by helping girls develop five key skills: • Goal setting.

• Decision making.

• Money management.

• People skills.

• Business ethics.

The financial literacy skills taught through Girl Scouts have proven to be a key factor in shaping financial and personal success for alumnae. A recent impact study about the value of Girl Scouting reveals that Girl Scout alumnae have a higher income/ socioeconomic status, a greater level of civic engagement, and are overall more successful than their non-Girl Scout peers (published by the Girl Scout Research Institute, 2012).

More than 50 million American women are alumnae of Girl Scouting: Nearly 70 percent of the women in the U.S. Congress today are former Girl Scouts; 64 percent of the women listed in Who’s Who of American Women are Girl Scout alumnae; and 53 percent of all women business owners are Girl Scout alumnae.

IVCC receives Bellwether Award nominations Bellwether and Legacy Award finalists will be announced in December OGLESBY — Two Illinois Valley Community College projects have been nominated for prestigious national awards.

Making Industry Meaningful In College (MIMIC), one of 10 Bellwether finalists in 2012, is being considered for a Bellwether Legacy Award recognizing previous winners offered for five or more years and have been replicated elsewhere.

IVCC’s edible car contests have received a third Bellwether nomination recognizing outstanding and innovative projects leading community col-

leges into the future.

Bellwether and Legacy Award finalists will be announced in December and honored Jan. 25-28 at the Community College Futures Assembly at the University of Florida in Orlando.

Developed by Dorene Perez, computer-aided design/computer-aided engineering instructor and Alice Steljes, a now-retired accounting instructor, MIMIC was first offered in 1995.

“Our students needed workplace skills like teamwork, communication and problem solving,” Perez said. “We

began having our students work together as they would in a business or industry, and we provided training for the skills they needed.”

Today, each MIMIC team, or company, includes students in engineering design, electronics and a variety of business fields such as marketing, accounting and information systems.

Manufacturing students serve as consultants, and students in other fields, such as graphic design and technical writing, assist.

MIMIC instructors are Jim Gibson, electronics, Rick Serafini, accounting, and Perez.

Since its inception, MIMIC has been recognized for innovation.

Perez said it appears to be the first community

college project to place technical and business students into teams to design, manufacture and sell products.

IVCC began offering edible car contests in 2006 as a celebration of Engineering Week.

“We knew designing vehicles from food would challenge students to solve problems and be creative, skills that are critical in engineering,” said Perez. “We saw its potential to excite students about an unlimited number of subjects.”

Perez and a team consisting of Gibson, retired communications instructor Rose Marie Lynch and biology instructor Sue Caley Opsal have offered the contests to secondgraders through collegeage students.

Contests are espe-

cially suited for creating interest in and providing hands-on applications for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). While the vehicles created from food are low tech, the program showcases high tech equipment in the speed competition. A programmable logic controller is connected to a human machine interface with reflective photo eyes on the track’s start and finish.

While the organizers did not originate the contest, they have capitalized on its potential for engaging people of all ages in an unlimited number of theoretical concepts.

“People of all ages like playing with food,” Perez said. “We encourage others to capitalize on that interest.”

‘Miracle on 34th Street’

Festival 56 examines Steve Jobs

Festival 56’s live radio broadcast is Saturday PRINCETON — Festival 56 will present the holiday classic, “Miracle on 34th Street,” as a live radio play on Dec. 7. This special community event takes place at the Grace Performing Arts Center, 316 S. Main St., Princeton. The show will be broadcast live over WZOE at 10:30 a.m. Beginning at 9:30 a.m., complimentary coffee and baked goods from the new Flour House Bakery will be available in the lobby.

In what has become an annual Festival 56 holiday tradition, the radio play cast will be local civic leaders and community members.

Sound effects will be created by “Foley artists,” just like in the early days of radio.

This year the cast will be Steve Bouslog, VP-senior financial consultant, Heartland Bank and Trust Co.; Terri Simon, editor, Bureau County Republican/Putnam County Record; Lindsay Philhower, owner/instructor, Main Street Dance Academy; Al Forristall, market president, Midland States Bank; Rex Conger, president and CEO, Perry Memorial Hospital; Connie Kauffman, retired children’s librarian, Princeton Public Library; Jay Schnei-

der, owner, Apollo Theater; Dale Fiste, retired farmer/ cattle feeder and director of the Covered Bridge Barbershop Harmony Chorus; and Mike Smith, vice president/ regional business development officer, Centrue Bank.

The Bureau County Chorus will also entertain the audience with holiday classics.

Dave Roden, school social worker for the Henry-Stark Counties Special Education District and a veteran Festival 56 actor, is directing the radio play. Cyndi Olson, Taylor Tieman and Kerry Ryan will handle sound effects. The show is made possible because of the support of WZOE, the Bureau County Republican and Gary Swanson, GES Sound Services.

Miracle on 34th Street is a special event separate from the regular Festival 56 season. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Festival 56 Box Office, open noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. They may also be purchased by calling 815879-5656 or online at www. festival56.com.
