West Nile virus-positive mosquitoes collected in Granville
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
Mosquitoes collected in Granville on June 27 have tested positive for West Nile virus, the Putnam County Health Department announced. The mosquitoes were tested at the Health Department in Princeton.
Health officials are urging residents to take extra precautions against mosquito bites, particularly during outdoor activities in the summer months.
“We are urging the public to use precautions against mosquito bites while attending outdoor events,” said Hector Gomez, administrator of the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Department. “Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache, and muscle aches. However, severe illness – including meningitis or even death – can occur in rare cases.”
West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected house mosquito.
Most people infected with the virus do
not experience any symptoms. About 1 in 5 infected individuals, however, may develop symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea or rash, according to the release. Most people recover fully, though fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or longer.
About 1 in 150 cases result in serious illness affecting the central nervous system, such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord), according to the news release. People over age 50 and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe outcomes.
To reduce mosquito populations around homes, residents are encouraged to:
Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes lay eggs, such as in buckets, gutters, flower pots and old tires
Change water in bird baths and pet bowls weekly
Keep swimming pools clean and chlorinated; cover or drain when not in use
Drill holes in the bottoms of recycling containers and other items that can collect water
Store items like wheelbarrows and wading pools upside down when not in use
To protect yourself outdoors:
Avoid outdoor activities at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active
Wear long sleeves, pants, socks and shoes; loose-fitting, tightly woven clothing offers the best protection
Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors
Apply insect repellents registered with the EPA and recommended by the CDC. These include products containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, IR3535, or 2-undecanone. Follow label instructions carefully.
Do not apply repellent to children’s hands, eyes, or mouth, or to infants under 2 months of age.
Residents should ensure that door and window screens are tightly fitted and in good repair to keep mosquitoes out of homes.

Demonstrators voice concerns about Trump administration, deportations
More than 100 gathered at Rotary Park in Princeton
By BILL FRESKOS bfreskos@shawmedia.com
More than 100 people gathered Saturday at Princeton’s Rotary Park to protest President Donald Trump and what demonstrators described as rising authoritarianism in American politics.
Carrying signs and waving American flags at passing cars on North Main Street the day after Independence Day, many attendees who gathered called for the defense of democracy and support for vulnerable communities.
Rosanna Stremlau, of Princeton, said she believes people showing up to the protests is about more than just party politics.
“Whether you’re Democrat or Republican is immaterial,” Wilkin said. “It’s about whether you support policies that hurt vulnerable people.”
Nancy Churchill of Princeton echoed the sentiment, explaining she wanted to attend because of concerns about policies hurting children and low-income families.
“I think they’re taking health care and food away from the poor while giving tax breaks to the wealthy,” Churchill said. “What’s happening in Washington right now is just the opposite of what America stands for.”
Rich Wilkin of Ohio said he has little hope in the current administration and what’s been happening with deportations. However, protests like this, as well as many across the country, give him hope.
“I gain hope and from being with people that are like-minded and who see how our country and marginalized folks are being harmed,” Wilkin said.
Steve Gasuigne of Princeton wore a shirt that read “Impeach Trump” and
explained it often sparks quiet support in public, however, he urges those people not to hold back.
“People come up to me and whisper, ‘I like your shirt’,” Gasuigne said. “And I tell them that’s good but there’s no need to whisper. We need to speak out together.”
Terry Nelson, a 76-year-old U.S. Army veteran from La Moille, was at a similar protest in Princeton two weeks ago, and was happy to see a good turn-
out on Saturday.
“I’m bewildered and angry about what’s happening in our country right now,” Nelson said. “The feeling of solidarity out here is something I haven’t felt in decades.”
Nelson said the protest reminded him of marching for civil rights in the 1960s.
“I’m proud to see so many people show up – this is what democracy looks like,” he said.

My way of saying thank you for all those birthday wishes
Tuesday. July 1. Happy birthday to me.
Yes, today my age rolls into a higher number. Oh boy. My Facebook page is heating up with friends and family wanting me to be happy.
I give each one the blue thumbs-up so they know I got their birthday message. I worry about missing someone and feel some guilt that I am not sending back a personal note to each. Every name sparks a memory and reminds me how our worlds orbit each other. That’s the best birthday gift.
I should tell each one that, but I guess it’s Facebook etiquette now to post a thank you later. Or hey, why not write a column about it without turning this into a pity party.
I’ve told a few well-wishers that this is a day I try to tolerate. I can remember when every year was cake and candles and gifts. I looked forward to birthdays. I was eager to turn 16 and extremely impatient to be 21. All magic ages.
But that was yesterday that suddenly became today ... at least it feels that way. Time is a fast train ride when

PAPERWORK
Lonny Cain
I look back to when I got on board in 1948. Now I wonder about the stops ahead. What’s that thing we like to say, “Hey, I had a good ride.”
Sorry. We agreed on no pity party. So let me blow out the inferno on my cake so I can dish out some thoughts on birthdays and aging and life. Be warned, though: old man talking here.
Two thoughts are circling in my head right now. They both seem appropriate on a birthday, a celebration of that day, a single human being becomes part of the universal us.
The first thought I pulled off a Facebook post that echoes a nagging question I dealt with for many years. What do you want to be when you grow up? I know the popular response to that question: “Grow up? Are you kidding? Who wants to grow up?”
There’s a lot of truth in that quip. I

treasure the kid who still lives inside me. I talk with him more often now. So I embraced that Facebook post that stated: “I finally figured out what I want to be when I get older. ... Younger.”
Yeah, part of me would love to hop on the fast train to start the ride over. Be that kid – again. But be careful what you ask for, right? Being younger was not always a joy ride. It’s the good times I miss. The agility and energy and wonder about what’s to come. When life was more about what was coming, not what happened.
And that folds into the second thought that hit me earlier this week. We were finishing the final episodes of the latest season of “The Bear.” It wasn’t the first time I’d grabbed my nearby pen and paper to jot down a quote from this program.
The scene revolved around regrets in life ... things undone that still need to be done but get put off time and again. Then came the quote, words of wisdom for the moment: “There’s always a clock.” You can regret a lack of time or wasting time. You can wish
for more time or try to make time. But ... “There’s always a clock.” I’ve gone through a life measured by deadlines, anniversaries, due dates, bedtimes, supper times, class times, work schedules, ticks and tocks. No doubt that the train I’m still riding has scheduled stops ahead that I will deal with as they come. Because there’s always a clock. If you can hear it ticking, I guess that’s a good thing, right?
My calendar clock says today I am a year older, a countdown that restarts tomorrow. Meanwhile, my Facebook also is ticking. Friends continue wishing me a happy day. A grand day. A great day. A phenomenal day. So … why not?
There’s always a clock, but today is my time. I own the clock. So hand me another slice of that cake.

‘An honor to be picked’: State’s best seniors play in all-star games
Teams tie in Game 1; Red wins 9-5 in nightcap
By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com
PERU – DeKalb graduates Brodie Farrell and Nik Nelson are continuing their baseball careers together next year at Parkland College.
Before they moved on to the next level, Farrell and Nelson had one more opportunity to represent the Barbs.
The DeKalb duo helped the Red team rally for a 12-12 tie in the first game and win the second game 9-5 in the Illinois Coaches Association Senior All-Star Games on Monday at Schweickert Stadium, home of the Prospect League’s Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp.
“To represent DeKalb meant a lot,” Farrell said. “We love DeKalb. DeKalb was very good to us.”
Farrell and Nelson were one of several sets of teammates who got to play together one last time at the prep level, including Hall’s Jack Jablonski and Izzaq Zrust, Newman’s Chase Decker and Daniel Kelly, Dwight’s Owen Dunlap and Luke Gallet, Plainfield North’s Brendan Henderson and Pablo Herrera, Morris’ Jack Wheeler and Brett Bounds and Marquette’s Keaton Davis and Sam Mitre.
“It was great to have one more game with him,” said Davis, who will play at Spoon River College. “It was nice to play together again for the last time.”
The event featured 45 of the top senior baseball players in Illinois as selected by a panel of 15 coaches. The games include players from Classes 1A-4A from all over the state, including as far away as Mount Vernon, with Alex Kiefer traveling nearly four hours to play.
“It was an honor to be picked for it and play with other people from a higher level,” Davis said. “It was great talking to new people and playing a few games with them.”
In the first game, the Blue team built an 8-1 lead, helped by a five-run fourth inning. Henderson, who was named Blue Team MVP, hit an RBI double to
left-center field and later scored on a wild pitch.
Crystal Lake Central’s James Dreher launched a three-run home run to right field to extend the lead to 8-1.
Red rallied within 8-6, with the help of a two-run homer by Heyworth’s Maddox Klawitter, before Blue pushed its advantage to 11-6 with three runs in the sixth, including an RBI triple by Davis.
Red scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth and completed the comeback with two more in the seventh.
Neuqua Valley’s Joe Barkley ripped a line drive off the wall in left field for a two-run double with two outs, but the game ended in a tie when the next batter popped out to Mitre at first base.
“We just started having fun,” Farrell said about Red’s comeback. “I feel like
everybody was kind of nervous at the start. We just started hitting.”
In the second game, St. Bede’s Alan Spencer started on the mound for Blue and struck out the first two Red hitters before Red got its bats going, scoring five runs in the frame, with the big blow being a three-run shot by Alleman’s Gavin Awbrey. DeKalb’s Nelson smacked a two-run double in the inning.
Spencer also struck out the first two batters of the second, but allowed one more run on an RBI double by Newman’s Decker. Spencer finished with five strikeouts in two innings.
The Red team’s arms made things difficult for Blue.
Normal West’s Ryder Coone started and gave up just one unearned run
through three innings before Farrell came on for a dominant two-inning outing.
“Everybody pitched well in the second game,” Farrell said. “We kept them to five runs, which is pretty good for an all-star game.”
Farrell retired all six batters he faced, including three strikeouts.
“I thought I pitched pretty well,” Farrell said. “My curveball was working really well.”
Annawan-Wethersfield’s Kellen Keane had an RBI single in the sixth. Blue made things interesting in the seventh with three runs before the game ended with the bases loaded and the tying run at the plate. Fieldcrest’s Jordan Heider reached on a walk in the inning and later scored on a wild pitch.
