“Monkey Business: The Adventures of Curious George’s Creators”: The Putnam County Public Library District invites the public to a special Movie Matinee screening of the documentary, “Monkey Business: The Adventures of Curious George’s Creators,” on Tuesday, June 3, at 1 p.m. at the Granville branch.
While many know Curious George as the world’s most beloved mischievous monkey – with more than 75 million books sold in more than 25 languages since 1941 – few are familiar with the extraordinary true story behind its creation.
This engaging documentary explores the lives of Hans and Margret Rey, the German Jewish couple who brought Curious George to life. What began as a honeymoon in Paris turned into an extended stay, culminating in their first children’s book. In 1940, as Nazi forces invaded France, the Reys fled on hastily assembled bicycles, taking only a few
personal belongings – including the original manuscript of Curious George. Their incredible journey as refugees eventually brought them to New York City, where they rebuilt their lives and created a literary legacy that continues to captivate readers of all ages.
The film runs about 81 minutes, is not rated and is made available through public performance rights provided by Kanopy.
This program is free and open to the public. The screening will be held at the Granville Branch, located at 214 S. McCoy St., Granville.

Even a lousy student can still make the grade … someday
I never cared for report cards. That might have something to do with the details they provided. You know, grades and those little notes from teachers.
I saved most of them (of course). And recently, I had to pull them out to analyze them. This was inspired by a Smithsonian magazine article that told me I had something in common with Benjamin Franklin.
The article stated: “Before Benjamin Franklin became a printer, newsman, author, inventor, philosopher, diplomat and founding father of the U.S., he failed math twice.”
“Well, hello Ben,” I thought. “I feel your pain, buddy.”
Franklin’s dilemma got me curious about my early schooling. The formative years. The data is clear. I was a poor student.
Mrs. Olive Howard, second grade teacher at Elburn Elementary, set the tone for many of the reports sent to my parents. She said I “needed improvement” in accepting responsibility, following directions, finishing work, using spare time well, and listening atten-
PAPERWORK
tively. With numbers, I did not understand meanings, could not reason well in solving problems and struggled with subtraction.
Grade three was similar, but I should note I spent the first half of the school year attending Ellwood Elementary in DeKalb. I finished the second half back in Elburn.
The DeKalb teacher noted I had trouble “listening attentively while others are talking” and underscored “unsatisfactory progress” with addition and subtraction. There also was an interesting back-and-forth with my mother.
Teacher: “Needs to study his addition and subtraction facts. He is a good reader and is showing great growth in his vocabulary and comprehension.”
Mom: “Please send some homework home. We will help him as much as possible. He is a little hard of hearing, so
that may have a little to do with why he doesn’t listen.”
Teacher: “I’m glad you mentioned his hearing. He seems to constantly ask, ‘What page?’ Now I know why. He still needs to work on his addition and subtraction facts. He is a good reader.”
Hard of hearing? Good play, Mom. Please note my vocabulary was growing, but my writing skills were lacking, according to the Elburn teacher.
Fifth and sixth grades were at Lynn G. Haskin Elementary in Sandwich. Apparently, I weighed 65 pounds and was 4.5 feet tall in 1958. (I also was one of the fastest runners in the school. They failed to mention that.)
My grades were not terrible. (Except math, of course. D’s and C’s.) My writing skills still needed work, dropping to C’s. Might be a clue in this note to my parents:
“Lonny seems to have gone from the extremity of shiness to exceeding boldness. In arithmetic he seems to draw a blank – that is seemingly closes his mind to it. Personal help from home may help.” (It did not. Mom should have noted the teacher misspelled shyness.
And my “boldness” might have been outspoken pride in my running skills.)
The teacher later noted: “Lonny’s attitude toward school work doesn’t seem too good.” (My favorite class was recess with lots of running games.)
After seventh grade, the messages were in code: grades and numbers to reflect effort. I got B’s in English, but the effort marks were shaky.
All those reports do not show a passion for writing. It had to be all those years of journalism, putting together stories about and for people. And reading. They blend well.
My grades were accurate. But, hey, I never failed a course. I don’t think I have ever used algebra. And I learned that learning never stops.
Oh, one more thing. As my third grade teacher noted, I played well with others. And I still do.

IDNR, conservation police spread awareness for National Boat Safety Week
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Conservation Police are urging people to wear life jackets when on the water and to only operate boats sober as part of National Safe Boating Week.
“As the boating season approaches, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Law Enforcement, reminds all waterway enthusiasts that safety is a shared responsibility. Every boater plays a vital role in creating a secure and enjoyable environment on the water,” Office of Law Enforcement Director Jed Whitchurch said in a news release. “Understanding and adhering to boating regulations such as navigation rules, safety equipment requirements, designated no-wake zones, and staying informed about weather conditions are essential to ensuring positive experiences for all who enjoy the state’s waterways.”
There were 63 reportable boating accidents on Illinois waters in 2024, resulting in 15 fatalities and 32 injuries, according to statistics compiled by the Illinois Conservation Police.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Conservation
are urging people to wear life jackets when on the water and to only operate boats sober as part of National Safe Boating Week.
Prior years’ statistics include:
• 2023: 70 boating accidents with 12 fatalities and 37 injuries
• 2022: 52 boating accidents with six fatalities and 40 injuries
• 2021: 93 boating accidents with 16 fatalities and 28 injuries
Statistics show most boating accidents occur between noon and 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays between June and August. Boating conditions usually are clear with good visibility, light winds and calm water. Most accidents involve operators between the ages of 20 and 40 with more than 100 hours of boating experience but little or no classroom boating safety
instruction. The accidents also tend to involve open motorboats cruising in a careless or reckless manner.
The IDNR offers free boating safety courses that provide a boating laws and regulations review, and safe and attentive operation of watercraft instruction. The department encourages boaters of all ages to take a safety course. Residents born on or after Jan. 1, 1998, must pass a course and have a valid Boating Safety Certificate to operate a motorboat with more than 10 horsepower. State law also requires boating safety education for those ages 12 to 17 to operate a motorboat.
“Safety should be the first priority of those enjoying Illinois waterways this summer,” IDNR safety education program administrator Cody Gray said in the release. “IDNR’s mandatory boating safety classes are free and offered most weekends during the summer at multiple locations across the state.”
able online. Online boating safety courses also will provided for a fee.
Officers strictly enforce laws regarding operating under the influence for boat operators as part of the Illinois Conservation Police boating safety enforcement effort.
Illinois Conservation Police officers arrested 84 boaters for OUI in 2024, an 11% increase from 2023. Four of the 15 boating-related fatalities in Illinois in 2024 involved alcohol or drug impairment.
Previous years’ OUI arrests:
• 2023: 72 boaters
• 2022: 81 boaters
• 2021: 65 boaters
State law requires life jackets on board. Wearing a life jacket is the most important action boaters and paddlers can take to ensure safety.
Illinois law requires that personal floatation devices, or PFDs, be available for each person aboard a boat or watercraft. The law also requires everyone to wear a PFD while operating a personal watercraft or jet ski.
Free safety courses are taught by volunteer instructors and available throughout Illinois. A courses schedule is avail-
Under the Boat Registration and Safety Act, no person may operate any watercraft unless an approved and appropriately sized wearable U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device is being properly worn at all times by each person under the age of 13 on the deck of a watercraft or in an open watercraft. However, this requirement shall not apply to people who are enclosed in a cabin or below the top deck on a watercraft, on an anchored watercraft that is a platform for swimming or diving, or aboard a charter “passenger for hire” watercraft with a licensed captain.

PC coaches using technology to talk to catchers
By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com
Putnam County is using technology for coach Chris Newsome to communicate with catcher Miles Main this season.
Main wears AirPods Pro 2 during the game, and Newsome talks to him using the live listen feature on an iPad.
“I don’t call every pitch, but when I need to I just swipe down to get the button I need to press so that I can talk to the catcher. Once I’m done, I tap the button again to turn it off,” Newsome said. “I use this to relay bunt coverages, first and third defense, reminders what opposing batters did in previous at-bats or where we are trying to pitch a certain kid, reminders when there is a guy on third to be a wall back there so the ball doesn’t get to the backstop and when he needs to go out there to slow the game down for the pitcher and talk to him.”
Newsome said the Panthers had to work out some kinks.
“It’s worked pretty well for us so far,” Newsome said. “We had to figure out the distance that we needed to stay in for it to come through clearly. We also had a couple times when the catcher doesn’t wear the additional over-the-ear silicone piece that keeps the AirPods in place and it falls out when he takes his

This year, when the Knoblauchs came, they mentioned decorating a wall in the PA booth, which was built in memory of Knoblauch, who died after a battle with cancer at age 20 in 2019.
The Knoblauchs decorated the wall with a photo of their son, a banner that reads “Never Quit,” a black and white drawing, a cross made of baseballs and a plaque dedicating the booth to Evan.
“It means so much to our baseball team and St. Bede Academy to stay connected with the Knoblauch family,” St. Bede coach Bill Booker said. “Our captain’s work ethic, compassion and never-quit attitude is what we want our players to display in sports and their everyday lives. He will always be our program’s role model.”

Newsome said the Panthers decided to use the AirPods because it was a onetime purchase for the team.
“I like that [the National Federation
of State High School Associations] and IHSA allow for this,” Newsome said. “I’d be in favor of expanding some sort of technology to include the pitcher and even position players down the road.”
