of an adult woman who resided in Bureau County was reported by a hospital outside of the area. Influenza-A was listed as a contributing factor in her death. While the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is still recommending flu shots, this year’s shot isn’t completely effective
against the strain causing deaths across the country. The CDC has termed the current outbreak as an epidemic, with Illinois one of the five hardest-hit states. The fault isn’t with the flu shot. The leading flu virus this year is influenza A (H3N2), which has been linked to higher rates of hospitalization for those highly susceptible to infection, particularly the very young. Approximately 97 percent of the flu
cases reported so far this flu season are strains of influenza A. The CDC predicted influenza A would be a threat, and this year’s flu vaccine contained an A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)like virus. Unfortunately, H3N2 is what’s known as a weakcell virus, which means it is subject to change when exposed to outside influences. H3N2 has mutated into a strain that

Putnam County unemployment rises
Illinois figures continue to improve By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
As always, the monthly unemployment figures from the Illinois Department of Employment Security consist of good news and bad news. This time around, the news for Putnam County is worse than usual. The state has as a whole fared much better with unemployment statewide at 6 percent for November 2014, down from October’s 6.6. But while most of the state continues to see unemployment shrink, Putnam County isn’t following the trend. Following last month’s figure of 6.6 percent, the local percentage has inched up to 7.1 percent. While lower than a year ago when local unemployment stood at 10.2 percent, the reversal is still not a good sign for the county. Nationwide, the unemployment figure stands at 5.5 percent. “Our local economies continue to grow at a steady, deliberate pace, just as they have throughout the year,” IDES Director Jay Rowell said. “Diverse economies such as Illinois’ move deliberately because we have exposure in multiple
sectors. Worker training programs driven by the private sector will lead to a more nimble workforce in a better position to qualify for unfilled job opportunities.” Locally, Bureau and LaSalle County saw their fortunes continue to rise. LaSalle County’s unemployment stayed steady at 7.9 percent, the same as October and down from November 2013’s 11.0 percent. Bureau County’s numbers shrank to 7.2 percent compared to October’s 7.6 and November 2013’s 9.3 percent. “November data follow trends established earlier this year. More people describe themselves working than one year ago and the labor force remains stable. Help-wanted advertising continues to be steady,” Media Relations Director Greg Rivara said. “Declines in professional and business services are concentrated in temporary help and likely are seasonal. Declines in retail trade are curious and could reflect more online purchasing activity rather than at brickand-mortar storefronts.” The greatest job growth statewide was seen in the education and health services industry. The lowest unemployment figure in the state belongs to Henderson County where only 4.3 percent of the populace are unemployed.
One-on-one with the state’s attorney Judd-Mennie: ‘Sometimes service comes before what you want to do’ By Ken Schroeder

State’s Attorney position he held. Due to regulations, the position had to be filled by a member of the same political party, so with a recommendation from Republican Central Committee Chairman Alma Toedter and unanimous support of the Putnam County Board, Christina Judd-Mennie became the first female state’s attorney
in Putnam County. The Putnam County Record spoke with Judd-Mennie PCR: How’s the job been so far? Judd-Mennie: So far, so good. Everybody’s been very helpful. I’ve had Paul Bauer from the state’s attorney’s office in Marshall come down. He showed me a couple of things. All of the office-holders have been great. PCR: Was this something you ever thought you’d want to do? Judd-Mennie: I would say early on in my career I thought about it. As my
career grew and I opened my own office, it kind of dissipated a little bit. When the opportunity came, I toyed with it for a while and first I thought, “I don’t know. I just got my office up and running.” I love my office, and I liked being able to do a little bit of everything. But I just decided, sometimes service comes before what you want to do, so I decided I would try to help the county the best I could. PCR: Were you surprised when you were recommended for the post?

HENNEPIN — The next step in the renovation of the former Hennepin steel mill has been scheduled, and apparently the building isn’t quite as empty as previously thought. Heritage Global Partners Asset Advisory and Auction Services has listed an auction for the contents of the building on Feb. 11 and Feb. 12, with a pre-auction tour available on Feb. 10. Alex Dove of Heritage Global Partners said a full cataloguing of the assets of IPS Steel, formerly ArcelorMittal, will be done during the next couple weeks, and items for bid will be listed on the company’s website at http://www.hgpauc-
Judd-Mennie From Page 1 Judd-Mennie: Yes. I definitely can’t say I was just sitting there saying, “Oh yes, it’d be me.” I know there were a few other people who had expressed interest, so it wasn’t just me. PCR: How long have you been practicing law? Judd-Mennie: I think late 2004, so about 10 years. I started with Durley (Walter Durley Boyle) and Roger (Bolin), and then in 2010, I went out on my own. PCR: Do you feel anything there is special about being the first female state’s attorney in Putnam County? Judd-Mennie: Absolutely. I think that’s pretty neat, for me anyway. There’s a lot of female attorneys, and I went to a state’s attorney convention in December before I was appointed. There were several women, but if you look statewide, it’s definitely a male-orient-
tion.com/auctions/71601/ assets-formerly-arcelormittal/. Most of the items listed so far are pieces of scrap or tools from the previous operations. Dove said he expected at least 700 lots by the time cataloguing was complete; 30 lots are already on the site. The auction will be online only, starting at 7 a.m. on Feb. 11 and ending at 10 a.m. on Feb. 12. All of the items up for auction can be viewed during a pre-auction tour on Feb. 10. The tour will be guided and conducted at different times during the day. Details on how to be included in the bid process are also on the website. Dove could not give an initial estimate on the possible auction proceeds. ed position. But I have nieces and even a nephew who think it’s pretty cool. It’s something I take pride in. PCR: Ten years from license to state’s attorney is a short time. What do you think about that? Judd-Mennie: It is, and I know I’ve got a lot to learn yet. But I’m a quick learner, and I’ll do my best. What’s great is I have a lot of resources. The state’s attorneys around here have all welcomed me and said, “You need anything, there’s probably not much we haven’t seen. Call us.” I’ll probably have to lean on some people at the beginning. PCR: Have you had a lot of experience with criminal law? Judd-Mennie: I was assistant public defender when I was with Durley and Roger, so I was on the other side of the fence. I think that might help a little bit. Sometimes, I think you can lose perspective, and I’ll be able to see both sides. And that might benefit all of us.

Flu From Page 1 is resistant to this year’s flu vaccine. Many times after a person receives a flu shot, they take fewer precautions to keep from being infected, which has allowed this strain to spread rapidly. According to the latest flu activity reports from the CDC, California is showing little-to-no flu activity, and the southwestern states show moderate flu activity. With few exceptions, the CDC has declared the rest of the nation under widespread activity. Most area hospitals have placed restrictions on visitors during the flu epidemic. St. Margaret’s Hospital in Spring Valley and Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru will allow only two visitors at a time and no visitors under the age of 18. Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton is staying with its normal policy of only two visitors at a time but has not placed an age restriction. “This flu has been seen in every age bracket,” said Perry Memorial Hospital infection control nurse Sue Gorman. “We’ve seen patients from ages 1 to 97 this year, so it doesn’t make sense to limit any age bracket. Typically, a flu strain will skip certain ages, but that isn’t the case here.”
Influenza antiviral drugs Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir) can reduce severe complications such as hospitalization and potentially death for people who are at high risk of serious flu complications or are very sick. Gorman noted patients who started taking flu antiviral drugs within the first 48 hours after symptoms appeared recovered much quicker. Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Treatment of highrisk patients should begin as soon after symptoms develop as possible, without waiting for lab tests to confirm flu infection. “We still recommend getting a flu shot. In fact, we have a flu vaccination clinic on Jan. 12,” Gorman said. “While it’s not totally effective against the strain, it still provides some protection and can lessen the severity of the flu. We’ve seen more flu patients this year than ever before, and this strain is not going away anytime soon.” Those at high risk from influenza include children younger than 5 years (especially those younger than 2 years); adults 65 years and older; pregnant women; and people with certain chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart or lung disease and kidney disease.
New year ... more new laws By Goldie Currie Shaw Media Service
Editor’s note: This is another story in an ongoing series about new laws that will go into effect in 2015. On Jan. 1, more than 200 new laws went into effect in Illinois touching many areas of state government from education and public safety, to transportation and wild life. Following are a few notable measures taking effect in when we turn the calendar to 2015.
New technologies inspire new laws New technologies, like surveillance drones and online communication platforms, continue to develop, inspiring a number of new laws. One law taking effect, prohibits a law enforcement agency from using a drone owned by a third party to acquire information. Another new law will require a unit of local gov-

Liability for underage drinking Expands current law that makes it illegal for parents or guardians to allow underage drinking at a residence or other private property. State law will now include vehicles;
conveyances; like trailers, mobile homes and campers; or a watercraft under the parent or guardian’s control.
Wolves, bears, cougars The gray wolf, American black bear and cougar are added to the list of protected species in Illinois. The new law also spells out conditions that allow landowners to kill the animals if they are causing an immediate threat of physical harm or death to a person, livestock, domestic animals or harm to structures or other property. In recent years, all three animals have started to return to Illinois in very limited numbers, and this is an effort to manage that reintroduction.
E-cigarettes A new law requires e-cigarettes to be sold from behind the counter in an age-restricted area, or in a sealed display case. E-cigarettes, which do contain nicotine, seem
to be the “wave of the future” and became popular because they don’t produce the smoke that conventional cigarettes do, but they still produce vapor.
‘Ban the Box’ Gives job applicants the opportunity to address questions about a past criminal record in person, during an interview. The new law prohibits private employers with 15 or more employees from asking a job applicant about their criminal history until the applicant has been selected for an interview, or if there is not an interview, until after a conditional offer of employment is made.
Pregnancy accommodations Another new law requires employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” for all working pregnant women unless the accommodation would impose an “undue hardship” on the business.
Visiting restrictions implemented at IVCH PERU — Because of widespread influenza activity, Illinois Valley Community Hospital is restricting patient visitation privileges. Effective immediately, no one age 18 and below will

ernment or a school district that maintains a website (other than a social media or networking website), to post an email address that members of the public can use to communicate with elected officials of that unit of local government or school district. In recent years, social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, so has the practice of “cyber bullying.” In what some argue was an overreach of a school’s authority, a new law will require schools to address electronic bullying under certain circumstances, even if the bullying occurred off-campus and was conducted by using private computers, cell phones, etc.

An interstate adjustment Ladd chiropractor to offer services at Sapp Brothers By Lyle Ganther Shaw Media Service
LADD — Dr. Jason Lafferty, who has operated Ladd Family Chiropractic for 11 years, started to offer services at Sapp Brothers in Peru, beginning Jan. 6. “This opportunity has been on my mind for a number of years,” he said. “I called local truck stops, and Kevin (Cassidy manager at Sapp Brothers) jumped on it.” Lafferty knew of the great need for this type of service for travelers. “I have family members who are truck drivers, and I know about the wear and tear this profession does to them,” he said. Lafferty will have a room next to the CB Repair Shop at the truck stop where he will have office hours from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lafferty will offer chiropractic care such as adjustments and spinal exams, and X-rays by appointment only since he will have to do this at his Ladd office. He will also be seeking certification to perform DOT physicals. He wants to not only offer chiropractic services to truckers, but also to other travelers on Interstate 80 and even local folks, if they so desire. Lafferty said Sapp Brothers offers chiropractic care at two other trucks stops the company operates in Denver, Colo., and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Hatred doesn’t have to be an order Even though Christmas has passed and you’re now no longer bombarded with Christmas songs, I wanted to share a Christmas story with you; one from just more than 100 years ago. “War is hell.” William Tecumseh Sherman. “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.” John F. Kennedy. “What a cruel thing war is ... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.” Robert E. Lee. It was called “The war to end all wars,” but that was not to be. On a cold Christmas Eve in 1914, World War I was just a few months old. During the war, soldiers said you were so close to the enemy, you COMMENTARY could hear them breathing. It was starting to look as though this war would not end soon, which wore on the hearts of men fighting so far from home. So is it any wonder that on this festive occasion, the soldiers in the trenches decided to celebrate as best they could. They sang Christmas carols, exchanged gifts of food, drink and tobacco, shared stories and played soccer. It was a celebration of life for all of the English, French, Scottish and German troops present. Wait a minute ... German troops? Yep. Called the Christmas Truce of 1914, soldiers — predominately along the Western front — laid down their weapons and enjoyed the camaraderie of men who understood too well what each side was going through. It didn’t matter on that day what uniforms they wore or how many of their brethren had been killed by the other side. All that mattered was the spirit of giving both sides felt; the realization the men across the trenches were no different than the ones beside you. And of course, they also took the time to retrieve the fallen soldiers littering the short distance between the opposing trenches and bury the honored dead. When upper command caught wind of this, there were cries of outrage. It was high treason to see the enemy as anything other than a deadly threat to a country’s ideology. Units were broken up; men were demoted; and punishments handed down. It was only through the public support of such goodwill such punishments were not more strict. The ensuing years saw the top brass reminding soldiers fraternizing with the enemy was treason. But although the practice was not as widespread, the Christmas truce repeated each year through World War I. But never again afterward. The chivalry of war breathed its last in World War I and would ever after be fought with pure hatred instead of the realization soldiers are men doing their duty. There are still those who see this as treason; but I’m reminded of a quote by Col. Sherman Potter from the TV show “M*A*S*H” that has always struck me as profound. “Sometimes I think it should be a rule of war that you have to see somebody up close and get to know him before you can shoot him.” Ken Schroeder can be reached at kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Honoring Doug Veronda
Putnam County’s Doug Veronda will be inducted into the Illinois Basketball High School Coaches Hall of Fame at the 43rd annual Hall of Fame induction dinner to be held at the Illinois State University Union Ballroom in Normal on May 2. Veronda played four years on the Putnam County varsity (1983-87). Despite facing opposing defenses bent on slowing him down, he found ways to score often. Combining a 64 percent shooting accuracy with smooth moves inside, Doug led his team in scoring for three consecutive seasons. As a starter his sophomore year, Doug averaged 14.2 points a game. For Doug’s junior year, his points per game rose to 19.4. Doug’s senior year was his best; he scored 21.8 points per game. He also averaged 10 rebounds per game. Veronda’s career statistics as a Panther: Total points - 1,337; total rebounds - 740; total blocked shots - 210; field goal percentage - 64. Doug is only second to All-Stater Carlton Fay as all-time scorer at Putnam County High School. Doug’s honors include: Honorable mention, All State; all Tri-County Conference first team, two years; all Tri-County Conference Tournament first team, three years; Hall Holiday Tournament first team, three years; co-MVP, one year; NewsTribune all-area first team, two years; NewsTribune athlete of the week, two times. Doug played in the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association All Star game in 1987 as a member of the Class A North Team. He was inducted into the Putnam County High School Hall of Fame in 2013. Veronda joins Jerry Zielinski, Putnam County High Class of 1968
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY
inducted in 1975, and Fran Aimone, Hopkins High Class of 1959 inducted in 2005, in representing Putnam County School in the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Former PCHS basketball coach Ken Jenkins was Doug’s freshman coach and his varsity coach during his junior and senior years. Doug also played on the varsity his freshman and sophomore years under coach Dave Mead. “Doug was a hard worker, came from a good family, was easy to coach and played great defense, although everyone talked about his offense,” Jenkins said. “Every big man he went up against, he would shut them down. He had a knack for blocking shots. A lot of players can block shots but they also foul the guy. Doug could block their shots and not foul the shooter. He had tremendous hands. We knew if we would throw the ball in the post he was not going to fumble it. He also could shoot the ball; he shot 64 percent. “I remember a game at St. Bede Doug’s senior year. He had 28 points, 20 rebounds and 10 board shots,” Jenkins said. “Doug took a lot of room on the floor, and when he got the ball, he shot it quick. He was strong and could hold his ground. Doug’s a great guy, and I’ll take those kind of players anytime.” Doug said he was surprised when he found out he was nominated to the Hall of Fame, although Hall of Fame member
Fran Aimone had told him he had nominated him. He received a phone call from Fran saying, “You better go to the post office and check your mail.” “There was a letter saying I would be inducted into the IHSA Basketball Hall of Fame in May in Normal,” Veronda said. “Throughout my career, if it had not been for my teammates, coaches and staff, I would not be in the place I am. My junior/senior years we had a solid team; a great shooter in Pomatto, point guard Pyszka, other good players. We were strong in the side game with me and Mike Pletch — a scrapper, he took pressure off of me. “Putnam County High School was my life from being a student and athlete there,” Doug said. “Then coaching basketball for 17 years. I went to school and got my coaching certificate, then coached the PC freshman team for two years. After that, I was assistant coach under John Slingsby and Josh Nauman. “My dad was a big help in me developing,” Veronda said. “He videoed all my games. After each game no matter if it was an away game or a home game, we would go home and watch that video. He would tell me what I should have done and what I should not have done. “Putnam County is strong in sports. The fans are unbelievable; they come out and support the athletes,” Doug said. “There is a lot of talent that comes through PC High School. It’s an honor to be nominated to join Fran Aimone and Jerry Zielinski.” What a modest and nice person Doug is. I wish Number 34 the best.

Lady Panthers take fourth place in tourney By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
CHARLESTON — The Putnam County Lady Panthers varsity squad completed their holiday basketball travels earning a fourth-place finish at the Charleston Tourney on Dec. 29. Putnam County 48, Danville 31 In the first game, the Panthers won 48-31 over Danville. The first quarter of the contest was tight with a score of 10-7. However the Panthers hit their stride in the second quarter by scoring 19 points to the seven by Danville. The teams hit the locker room with a 15 point lead for the Panthers. In the second half, the offense on both sides cooled down with PC scoring 10 points in the third and nine in the fourth quarter to seal the win for the team. Allison Voss was the ‘woman’ in the middle scoring 19 points. Paris 44, Putnam County 24 In the third-place contest, the Panthers took on Paris High School and lost by a final score of 44-24. Offensively, the team could not buy a basket during the game, scoring only nine points in the first half and their remaining 15 points in the second. Voss again led all Panthers in scoring with seven points. She also was named to the All-Tournament team. The Lady Panthers, now 14-5, will take on Tri-County Conference foe Ottawa Marquette on Jan. 8. The varsity contest will start at 7:30 p.m.

Panthers take third at Marseilles By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
MARSEILLES — During the awards ceremony, the announcer asked Putnam County High School boys’ basketball coach Josh Nauman if there was anymore room in the school’s trophy case with this year’s finish. While the Panthers didn’t bring home the coveted first-place trophy, they did bring home some metal after finishing third in the tournament. Reed-Custer 91, Putnam County 78 First-place hopes were dashed on Dec. 29 when the Panthers took on top-seeded Reed-Custer. The Comets quickly showed why they were rated first with an offensive barrage, putting up 33 points in the first quarter. While the Panthers were able to pick up their game and outscore Reed-Custer for the remainder of the game, the difference was too much. The Comets took the win to play in the championship finals 91-78. Alec Veverka was the high scorer for the Panthers, putting 23 points on the board while blocking 10 shots and scooping up 14 rebounds. Michael Miller added another 18 points with Nick DiazDeLeon dropping in 16. Putnam County shot 61 percent for the evening with 10 steals while giving up 31
turnovers. Putnam County 62, Flanagan 47 Heading into the consolation bracket on Dec. 30 against the Flanagan Falcons, Putnam County looked like they’d repeat the previous night’s performance, quickly falling behind the blistering pace set by Flanagan’s Keegan Bertsche who bucketed 12 points in the first quarter. The Falcons ended the first period with a 21-14 lead, then scored within the first seconds of the second quarter. The Panther defense kicked in and held Flanagan scorers down to pull within two at the half with a 28-26 deficit. The third period showed once again how the Panthers have become known as a second-half team. PC defense held the Falcons to only four points while Austin Biagini and Veverka led the offense to a 21 point rally. Starting the fourth quarter at 47-32, the Panthers played a waiting game, coasting to a 62-47 win off of four bonus points from Biagini and two buckets from the bench’s Nathan Mooberry. Veverka led all scorers with 22 points, all in the first three periods, while bringing down 16 rebounds. Biagini dropped in 11 more while Miller added 9 points, all from the threepoint zone. Bertsche led the Falcons with 21 points. Veverka and Miller were both named to the all-tournament team.
Veronda to be inducted into state coaches Hall of Fame By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
Putnam County loves sports, and the relationship seems to be mutual. Year after year, sports teams in the Putnam County school district go to sectionals or state and rarely come back with nothing to show for it. But while championships are the result of a team effort, it’s sometimes one person who opens the door and spurs teammates into winning seasons. In basketball during the ‘80s,
that person was Doug Veronda. Veronda will be inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame during ceremonies at the Illinois State University Union Ballroom in Normal on May 2. Veronda played four years on the Putnam County varsity (1983-87). During those years, he led the Panthers in scoring three years. A tall man with a 64 percent shooting average, Veronda was the linchpin of a phenomenal statebound team.
“Doug Veronda is very deserving of being included in the Hall of Fame,” said Bruce Firchau, chairman of the Hall of Fame Committee for the IBCA. “He had a huge supporter in Chuck Rolinski (former Toluca coach and longtime member of the IBCA) who spoke very highly of him. Veronda was a coach’s dream; easy to coach. He was top shelf and averaged in the double digits for rebounds and points all three years he played as a starter.” Veronda’s love of bas-
ketball has certainly been handed down to his children, with his son Cody and daughter Paige both stand-outs on their ball clubs. “Do I miss it? I tell everyone if they ask, I wish I was still in high school,” Veronda said. “I miss sports.” Veronda’s career statistics as a Panther are impressive. During his time at Putnam County, he scored 1,337 points while pulling down 740 rebounds and blocking 210 shots. Doug played in the Illi-
nois Basketball Coaches Association All Star game in 1987 as a member of the Class A North Team. He was inducted into the Putnam County High School Hall of Fame in 2013. Veronda becomes the third Putnam County Panther inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, joining Jerry Zielinski, PCHS Class of 1968 inducted in 1975, and Fran Aimone, Hopkins High Class of 1959 inducted in 2005. Veronda was nominated for the Hall by Aimone.

Spring Valley’s Caleb Savitch works on taking down Brayden Bickett of Spring Valley at a Thundercats wrestling practice.
Getting ready for the future: Thundercats wrestling By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Putnam County-Hall head wrestling coach Jerry Kriewald knows how to invest in the future. For the past several years, Kriewald has worked on developing the next generation of wrestlers with the Thundercats wrestling club. Thundercats is open to any young person who is currently in the fourth through eighth grades. Students who join must attend either Putnam County schools or any feeder grade school to Hall High School. The idea is simple: Instill a love of wrestling in an individual and help him develop and compete with success at the high school level. The team practices Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the evenings. Team members include Miles McCook, Sami Khouaja, Connor Booker, Chad Olson, Rylan Poole, Joseph Mecagni, Stephen Mecagni, Ryan Welch, Christian Holm, Cale O’Donnell and Bucky Judd from Putnam County. From Spring Valley, team members are Brayden Bickett, Victor Heredia, Elian Rivera, Adam Harper, Dain Magana, Alek Puentes and Caleb Savitch. “If the kids need shoes or head gear, I have a box of them that they can borrow from,” Kriewald said. “I have my high school kids help me coach on Sundays. We would really appreciate some assistance at practices and meets.” The Thundercats have 17 members who are out for the team. Several of the kids have had extensive post season experience in previous years. There are several team members that Kriewald looks to do good things this year. “Caleb Savitch has been wrestling on his own in tournaments around here,” Kriewald said. “I expect Christian Holmes, a returning state qualifier and Elian Rivera and Joseph Mecagni to all do well this year. Holmes, Rivera and Mecagni often practice with the PC/Hall wrestling team.”
Savitch, a fifth grader at JFK in Spring Valley, has been working with a relative who is a former wrestler. “I really like the meets. Then you are with all your friends at practice. I have been surprised that sometimes it’s hard to keep up in the meets sometimes,” Savitch said. Khouaja is in his first year of wrestling as a seventh-grader at Putnam County Junior High. “My brother and stepdad had wrestled so I have got more into it. It’s been interesting in learning how to defend myself. It takes endurance. I work out and try to keep myself in shape. I run,” Khouaja said. The Thundercats wrestle in tournaments under the banner of the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF.) The regular season will start on Jan. 11 and run through Feb. 8. Post season will include regional competition at LaSalle-Peru High School March 1 and possibly sectionals and state action. At this age level the tournaments are run a bit differently. Instead of wrestling at a specific weight class, the kids are paired up in groups of four with other participants of the same size. They round robin wrestle each kid in their bracket, and the individual with the best record wins. “We are self sufficient. We are no financial burden to the school district. We appreciate the sponsors that we have greatly,” Kriewald said. “We carpool to each tournament.” The Thundercats are sponsored by local businesses and individuals that include Al Cioni Ford, Kathy’s Korner, Spring Valley Foods, Matt Hostetter Country Insurance, Stanley Steemer, Daniel Kriewald, First State Bank, McNabb Veterinary, Dr. Robert Dawe, Jay McCracken, the Granville Rotary, Mike Gonet Realty and Insurance, Route 71 Autobody and the Locker Room. The assistance allows the club to function as there is no school budget for this activity. For more information on the Thundercats club, contact Kriewald at 815-712-9609.
OTTAWA — A former Putnam County resident has earned unique honors among the baseball legends of the state. Todd Hopkins has been inducted into the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association (IHSBCA) Hall of Fame. Hopkins is currently the athletic director at Ottawa Marquette High School. He is the head coach of the boys baseball program Todd Hopkins as well as the head coach of the girls varsity basketball program at the school. Don Sutherland of the IHSBCA noted that Hopkins is one of a select group. “Each year the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association takes nominations from all over the state for the Hall of Fame. The criteria includes years of coaching, team success, and other criteria to pick the most deserving people. Each year we choose between four to six of the best qualified for this distinguished honor… Coach Hopkins, and all that he has accomplished at Ottawa Marquette is a great example of what our HOF represents,” Sutherland said. As head baseball coach at OMHS he has compiled a record of 399 wins and 149 losses in the last 17 years which translates into a 728 winning percentage. During Hopkins’ tenure at Marquette, the school has won seven regional and four sectional titles. OMHS has also made four appearances in the Illinois High School Association Elite Eight and placed fourth in the state in 1999 during his coaching career. Over the years, the school has nurtured and developed four Division One baseball players and many others have played or are currently playing in the college ranks. Hopkins’ accomplishments include success in girl’s basketball as well. He and his teams have earned a 33798 record that includes five regional championships, two sectional championships and two trips to the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) sweet 16. Hopkins was named district coach of the year four times. He credits a couple of coaches for his passion and success in coaching. “It started when I was a little kid in McNabb. We had a manager named Ted Morganson. He was handicapped and had a passion for baseball. Had George Bacchio as a junior high coach. He was great as well. I learned a lot from him,” Hopkins said. “My freshman year I had Ed Schwingle. I wish I could have got to play with him a little longer, but they needed a shortstop and Coach (Ken) Jenkins bought me up to the varsity. I learned a lot from him.” In college Hopkins had another hall of fame coach in Jim Schmidt. Hopkins noted that he handled his players well. “I probably learned the most from him on how to handle players,” he said. “I pretty much knew the x’s and o’s, but he was one heck of a motivator. When I transferred to Eureka I had John Tully. We would have 5 a.m. practices six days a week before we’d start playing. We focused on fundamentals and I learned a lot from him as well.” The person that he credits learning the most from was his dad, Phil Hopkins of McNabb. “He (Phil) started four years at St. Bede and four years in college in Florida,” Hopkins said. “He is the one I learned the most from.” Hopkins is married to wife Katie and has three children, Hunter, Tate and Ty. He is the son of Phil and Nancy Hopkins of McNabb and the grandson of Lois Boyle of McNabb and the late Francis Boyle, and Richard and Marjorie Hopkins.

White recommends that corporations do not reply to the solicitation.

New year — new you 12 ways to achieve happiness and balance in 2015 We all want to start the new year off right. We think to ourselves, this will be the year I: lose weight, start exercising, eat better, reconnect with old friends, get a new job, etc. These are all great goals, but why do we wait until Jan. 1 to form a new habit and make positive changes in our lives? This year you can make a promise to yourself that the changes you make will be permanent and meaningful. They will set the year off to a positive start. Diane Lang, a positive living speaker, author and life coach, is sharing 12 ways in which everyone can achieve happiness and balance in the new year. In 2015, I will: 1. Make myself a priority this year. I will learn to say “no” to others when I feel overwhelmed and stressed. I will say “yes” to my needs and wants. This year I will learn it’s OK to put myself first and take care of myself. This year I will learn that selfish isn’t always a bad word. I realize that if I take care of myself, I will be there for others. 2. Be grateful for what I have. I will take the time to pause and think about all I have. This isn’t about my material objects. This is about my abundance of love, warmth, comfort, care and empathy I receive on a daily basis. This year I will make room in my life for gratitude checks where I spend a few minutes each day thinking about all I have in this life and just being thankful I have my life. 3. Pay it forward constantly. I will give more of myself everyday. I will inspire, help and empower others on a daily basis.
4. Step out of my comfort zone. I will take risks, add variety and become more creative. This is the year I won’t be stale or stagnate. The word “bored” will be removed from my word list this year. 5. Be a great role model. This will make me a better parent, mentor, friend and educator. I will teach others by my actions. 6. Become fully aware of my negative thoughts, comments and actions towards others and myself. I will make a conscious effort to be more positive and respectful of others and myself. I realize positive energy, actions and thoughts are all contagious. 7. Make action plans. Not only will I set short- and long-term goal lists but also action plans on how to get there. I will write down each detail of my list and follow each step. I will feel a sense of accomplishment because I have taken action. 8. Live in the present. I will let the past be in the past because the past doesn’t equal the future. I will stop worrying
about the future because it doesn’t exist. I will not waste my energy being stressed about something that hasn’t happened yet. 9. Spend less time trying to control others and being perfect. Neither one is possible and even though I have known this for many years, I never listened. This year I vow to let go of my controlling issues and perfectionist traits and learn to enjoy life in its messy existence. I will learn to enjoy the unorganized, the messy, and the not planned life. I will realize at the end of each day everything works itself out. 10. Say “thank you” to everyone I love. Not just on New Year’s, birthdays and holidays. I will say “sorry” when needed, “thanks” when it’s deserved and “I love you” just because I do. 11. Not try so hard to be something/ someone I’m not. I will not keep up with the Joneses, compare myself to celebrities, or wish I were someone else. This year I will learn to spend time alone with myself. I will learn what my likes/dislikes,
strengths/weaknesses, dreams and hobbies are. I will become fully aware of who I am. This year is the year of me! 12. Let go of all the expectations of what could be or should be, and just live my life. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our unrealistic expectations that we forget to just enjoy the life that is here right now - our present life, present situations, environments and family. We forget to be clear and aware of our surroundings. The love, warmth, and caring…the friendships and affection - I will remember to enjoy those simple things. Diane Lang is a nationally recognized speaker, happiness author, educator, therapist and media expert. Lang is extremely mediagenic and offers expertise on a variety of health and wellness topics about creating balance and finding happiness through positive living as well as multiple mental health, lifestyle and parenting needs. In addition to holding multiple counseling positions, Diane is also an adjunct professor at Montclair State University. Lang has been interviewed for numerous magazine and newspaper articles and has been a frequent guest on radio and TV shows including “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News Network. Lang is a monthly contributor for Family Beautiful magazine, a weekly columnist for MommyTalk. com, a regular featured expert on the “Expat Show” broadcast weekly on the New York ABC affiliate WTBQ-AM, and a Blogger at www.pazoo.com. Lang speaks to employees of large companies to help reduce stress in the workplace and speaks to parents about how to create balance and find happiness along with a variety of other health and wellness topics. She is also the author of two books: “Baby Steps: The Path from Motherhood to Career” and “Creating Balance and Finding Happiness.”
