Flu cases are on the rise It’s not too late to get a flu shot By Donna Barker news@putnamcountyrecord.com
PRINCETON — Illinois has been bit hard by the flu bug, as has much of the rest of the country. The Illinois Department of Public Health is reporting widespread flu activity in Illinois, with 122 confirmed influenza Intensive Care Unit admissions and six influenza-relat-
ed deaths so far in the state. Illinois is one of 35 states determined to have widespread flu activity, up from 25 states during the first week of January. Bureau/Putnam County Health Department Director of Nursing Laurie Geuther said it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine. The number of influenza cases is increasing, and some of those cases have been
serious and resulted in hospitalization. Also, the H1N1 strain of influenza has resurfaced this season and seems to affect the younger population, she said. “We strongly encourage you to get the annual flu vaccination if you haven’t done so already,” Geuther said. “We have not hit peak influenza season yet. Historically, February posts the highest confirmed cases of influenza. Overall, the
peak season is typically from December through March.” The local health department does have a good supply of vaccines at both of its offices in Princeton and Hennepin. While further flu clinics won’t be scheduled, people can call either office to schedule an appointment, she said. The Princeton office number is 815-9257326. The Hennepin office number is 815925-7326. The local
health department has given about 1,500 doses, combined through its two offices, so far this year, Geuther said. As in previous years, those people most at risk for the flu are children younger than 5 years of age, people ages 65 and older, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, Geuther said. “However, I think that you are at risk every year
if you do not receive the vaccination,” Geuther said. “The best defense against the flu is the annual vaccination.” Other important safeguards for preventing the flu are good hand-washing and eating a nutritious diet. Also, people should stay home when the are ill, and if someone is at high risk and they think they have the flu, they should see their doctor since there are anti-viral drugs which can be given, she said.
Hennepin questions Mediacom Board talks of poor service By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Representatives from Mediacom, who provide Internet services for the village of Hennepin, were called to answer questions at the Hennepin Village Board meeting on Jan. 15. “In the past there have been some questions about Mediacom,” Mayor Kevin Coleman said. “Our service is rather tacky at times.” With that statement, Coleman turned the questions over to trustee Matt Dean who asked not only questions on Mediacom service from his own experience, but also expressed complaints of several village residents who had contacted him. Problems experienced included tiling on television programs and slow Internet services. Customer service problems have often taken over a month to resolve, and many do not get feedback afterward to see if a problem is fixed. Don DeMay, area operations manager, and James Friske, senior manager of marketing with Mediacom, responded to questions Dean and other trustees presented. They

Swapping spaces Hopkins moves next door By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — Hopkins and Associates had outgrown is office space, so when the chance came to make a big move, they did. They moved next door. Hopkins and Associates purchased the former Granville Drug building and had the interior redone to maximize usage as office space. The plan hit a snag
or two along the way. “We were getting cramped next door, and this building was vacant. So when the new drugstore was looking for a place to move, we approached them to buy our building,” Joel Hopkins said. “They found the building next to the bank was better suited for their needs, and the layout was better. “We still wanted to somehow get over to this building, but
we didn’t want to abandon our other building; so I reached out to Russell (Guinn) who owns Pagan O’Leary’s, and he bought that building from us,” Hopkins said. “We called up Marlon who owned this building and made the arrangement the same day. It all happened one Friday afternoon.” Hopkins has added some new employees throughout the last few years, and the move to the larger building allows them more room to work. Each associate’s

area is enclosed which allows more privacy for clients. The storage area is also increased, although files are still boxed from the move. “It’s a newer building, it’s in fantastic condition,” Hopkins said. “I was lucky to have it sitting here really because I needed the space.” Pagan O’Leary’s will be using the old Hopkins building to build a dining area away from the bar to allow diners to enjoy their experience more.

GRANVILLE — Service above self is one of the central tenets with Rotary International, and some members take that to heart. Putnam County Rotarian Scott Shore is one of those people, and in recognition of that, he has been nominated to serve as District Governor for Illinois Rotary for the 201617 term. Shore has been a member of Rotary for more than 35 years and
carries a lot of credentials in district Rotary. Shore served as president of the Granville Rotary in 1984-85 and has edited the local newsletter since 1986. He has served two terms as Governor’s Representative and one term as Assistant Governor. He is also the chair of the short-term youth exchange program, a position he has held since 2008. “I’ll be serving during the 2016-17 term. Until then, I watch and learn
Scott Shore and assist at the district level and work on building our future lead-
ership,” Shore said. “I have a lot of mentoring behind me from people who have served as district governor. They’ve all enjoyed the experience. I get the opportunity to go around to all the clubs and see what’s going on first-hand and participate internationally.” Shore is retiring as 10th Judicial Circuit Judge on Nov. 30 this year.

Starkey: ‘We have a mess’ Cold and snow cause problems for Granville By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The cold weather and heavy snowfalls dominated the agenda for the Granville Village Board on Jan. 7 and has become all too common lately, causing problems at the wastewater treatment plant. “Everything froze up,” Public Works Superintendent Sheli Starkey said. “The actuator that sends the sludge to the digester is shot, and we have a mess.” The actuator has been a problem since the new wastewater facility was installed. Starkey said this will be the third time it’s been replaced in two years. She said the extreme cold was likely to be the biggest contributor to the actuator’s failure, despite heaters in the building. “It just got too cold.” The board asked village engineer Larry Good if blueprints for the plant were available, so the board could try to figure out why the plant has been a problem. Once the system thaws, the

HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Board covered a light agenda in its monthly meeting on Jan. 13, but chief among the items was naming the new Putnam County Emergency Management Agency coordinator.

In other action, the board: • Heard a presentation by the Bureau/ Putnam Health Department and Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) concerning the We Choose Program and asking the village board to consider banning smoking in Granville parks. The program was presented by Becky Piano and Ben Fogle, health educators for the health department, and Dawn Conerton for CPASA. The program highlighted the problems of second-hand smoke and included results of a poll taken by some local residents that indicated a majority of residents are concerned about smoking in the parks. • Received a thank you letter from the village of Washington, Ill., for relief materials sent down by Granville residents. Board President Doug Gimbal noted the kindness and generosity of Granville residents and said the village should be proud of their efforts.

Grant headed to Freedom House By Goldie Currie news@putnamcountyrecord.com
PRINCETON — Freedom House will be a little more cozy thanks to a recent $4,000 grant awarded by the Community Foundation of Central Illinois. The monies will go toward the purchase of new bedding and linens for all 20 beds at the shelter. Program Services Director Sharon Mindock said having a warm, inviting bed that offers comfort and a sense of peace helps women who come to the shelter heal from trauma. “It’s important to make the shelter as home-like as possible for the women and children because they are leaving very traumatic situations, and when they come into the shelter and things look nice, it’s just one more thing that helps
them to de-stress from the trauma,” she said. According to a press release issued by Freedom House, the trauma experienced by the women who come to the shelter is often violent and intense. They are often hyper vigilant because of the turmoil they have experienced. “Many have difficulty sleeping and adjusting to shelter life,” Mindock said. “Having a comfortable bed and surroundings helps these women begin to relax.” Mindock said the grant is very helpful because purchasing new linens is something that Freedom House wouldn’t normally be able to fit into its budget. The grant will cover new mattress pads, sheets, pillows and comforters for all beds. According to Freedom House’s press release,
it’s estimated every nine seconds a woman is battered, and that violence will occur at least once in two-thirds of all marriages. Twenty-five percent of the women in the United States, 12 million, will be abused by their current or former partners at some point during their lifetime. Three to four million are physically abused each year. Last year, Freedom House provided 43 women and 40 children safe shelter. Freedom House is the only state-recognized funded domestic violence and sexual assault service agency that serves Bureau, Henry, Stark, Marshall and Putnam counties. In 2013, Freedom House provided 7,465.25 hours of therapy, counseling and advocacy services to 574 residential and non-residential clients.

Snaking through the past There are certain (often painful) lessons learned by being a member of the close-knit farming community. The benefits of growing up on a country homestead far outweigh the bumps, bruises, smashed appendages, cuts, scrapes, gouges, fearful animal encounters, dust filled lungs, sore muscles, sun COMMENTARY burnt skin, electrical shocks, chemical burns, near miss chainsaw accidents, and those funny, snap buckle overshoes that took forever to stretch on, yet never really kept anything off your regular footwear. Foggy memories such as these are both the reason I no longer reside on a farm, and the cause of my longing for the simpler days of being trampled by cattle, saturated with oil from broken hydraulic lines, or tumbling from the hay mound due to heat exhaustion, soaked with sweat and covered from wrist to elbow in paper cut-like scratches. I may write a book someday, examining in great detail the vast learning universe of “The Farm,” but for now will present only this incomplete list of knowledge gleaned from my rural upbringing. I learned the hard way that a scrawny, 78-pound weakling cannot hold up an aluminum panel gate with several thousand pounds of jittery bovine crowding against it. Any sentence containing the word castration certainly eliminates all thoughts you entertained for a large, over indulgent lunch. Unless you are seeking a career as a handler in a traveling menagerie, and feel that hands-on experience will provide you a decided edge during the interview process, most non-domestic wildlife events (often accompanied with girly shrieks of terror ) are to be avoided. Barbwire is extremely sharp, even when dull. Those horseweeds you fed to the hogs, which made them lethargic and hungry, weren’t really horseweeds. This knowledge came later in life, after witnessing the lethargic and hungry friends of your best friends’ older brother smoking something very much resembling horseweeds. Yet, as I reminisce on those days, the most painful (and perhaps the most entertaining) artifact of learning I absorbed was this: I can not, even with the passing of time, believe how fast my dad could run. I’m not talking about the puddle hopping trot from barn to house in the midst of a spring gully washer, or the ninja-like quickness it took to corral an errant hog. Nope, we’re dealing with a flat out, world class, Olympic medal-winning sprint. I only witnessed this event once, but the awe inspiring impression it left on me has lasted a lifetime. You see, during the hay harvest back in the day, there was always that chance of finding a rabbit or quail or snake protruding from a bale; most often chewed up by the machinery ... yet on occasion, intact and still twitching. And so it was, on a sweltering day, standing on the edge of the hayrack, staring at the horizon, my dad decided to take a break ... oblivious to my forthcoming dastardly behavior. Before I could consider the repercussions of my actions, I had yanked a flimsy, damp, green milkweed stalk from a bale, yelled “SNAKE” at the top of my lungs, and casually tossed it across his shoulders. Like a pale Jesse Owens exiting the starting blocks in Berlin, he was off ... in mid stride, bringing to life the FTD florist logo, the DeKalb winged ear of corn on his hat replacing Mercury’s winged helmet. But for a hawk circling overhead, time stood still as we watched. Two hundred yards later, upon realizing it wasn’t a snake, his return was even quicker. Everything after that is a blur ... but yes, an invaluable lesson was learned on that long ago summer afternoon. Chuck Mason, a self-described opinionated wiseguy, resides in Princeton. He can be reached at chuckthebluzguy@msn.com.

The headline read “Man missing as railroad bridge burns.” As the Record goes to press this morning, it is reported the New York Central river bridge northwest of Mark is on fire as the result of a river barge striking the pilings and exploding. Missing is Doro Tonioni of Standard, night bridge tender, who was trapped on the open bridge span which is burning. The Peru rescue squad was called ... Tonioni jumped into the river with the temperature at zero. The barge is reported to have been loaded with gasoline and oil. The Spring Valley Fire Department was at the scene but could do nothing with the fire in mid stream.” On Dec. 24, 1964, the Putnam County Record had this article: “A Memorial Mass held for Bridge
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY Tender Doro Tonioni, 44, of Standard was held Monday morning in Sacred Heart Church with the Rev. William Carey officiating. Mr. Tonioni, the bridge tender on the New York Central Railroad bridge over the Illinois River east of DePue, died Thursday morning when struck by a barge loaded with petroleum products. The scraping of the barge against the bridge piling caused friction which ignited the fuel and set fire to the barge and center section of the bridge. Mr. Tonioni was in the bridge tender’s house atop the open center span. Tonioni was last seen by his relief man running into a wall of smoke and flames on the isolated span.
Efforts of the Peru Rescue Squad and divers to locate the body has been unsuccessful. The huge clouds of smoke from the burning oil, barge and bridge could be seen in Granville all day. A Coast Guard fireboat from Peoria arrived late that night to extinguish the fire. “Mr. Tonioni, a native of Standard, had been employed by the railroad 11 years. He was married to Lorraine Wright of Spring Valley. They have three daughters Nancy, Norma and Joanne. Mr. Tonioni’s body was discovered four months later in the Illinois River four miles downstream from DePue. In 1984, the then Con Rail road bridge was dismantled at the request of the United States Coast Guard.” Darrell Alleman of Granville can be reached in care of this newspaper at Putnam County Record, P.O.

TO Letter THE Editor
Merchants should be accountable To the Editor, The Target data breach has affected millions of consumers by compromising their credit and debit cards, once again raising the issue of a retailer’s responsibility in securing sensitive information for card transactions at their stores. How many millions of cardholders have to be harmed by financial data breaches before Congress enacts legislation to hold merchants accountable? A data breach might be embarrassing for the merchant involved, but keep in mind that they still get paid! Consumers and financial institutions,
on the other hand, bear significant burdens and costs. For compromised consumers, information and identities can be stolen, fraudulent account charges can occur, credit scores can be damaged, and enormous amounts of time can be spent on dealing with the issue. When a security breach occurs, card-issuing financial institutions incur significant costs — canceling and reissuing cards, freezing payments and closing accounts, monitoring card usage, handling customer inquiries and reimbursing fraudulent charges for customers – most of which are absorbed even if the losses were incurred through no fault of the bank.
It’s time that Congress acts to improve the safety and security of consumer card transactions by holding retailers accountable for breaches that occur on the retail side of a transaction: • Require merchants to disclose in a timely manner any security breach to their customers and the public. In the cases of Target, Schnucks and others, they waited weeks to notify the media and affected customers. • Financial institutions are required to meet rigid privacy and security standards for safeguarding personal financial information. Merchants should be held to these same high standards.
• Merchants should be held accountable to customers and to card issuers for the costs and losses they incur from the merchant’s own negligence. • A uniform, national standard governing how merchants respond and handle data breaches should be enacted to ensure that consumer protections are applied consistently to retailers across state lines. We think consumers have the right to have their financial and personally identifiable information protected by all parties involved — don’t you?

Starved Rock Lodge creates social media team Lodge marks 75th anniversary in 2014 By Lyle Ganther news@putnamcountyrecord.com
UTICA — Starved Rock Lodge, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, now has a social media team. “The reason we created this group is to expand (Starved Rock) Lodge and (Starved Rock State) Park presence on six social media channels,” said Kathy Casstevens, the lodge’s marketing director. “The best part about building the brand through the power of social media is that there is little or no cost to do this.” Starved Rock Lodge currently maintains 10 Facebook pages with more than 24,000 people
who like them, she added. In the coming year, the team hopes to gain more shares and engagement by putting photos with all posts and having one team player in charge of key departments. “So far, we’ve added six boards on Pinterest and have 14 followers,” added Casstevens. “This digital bulletin board is a great place for us to showcase the great Starved Rock to people who have never been here before.” The photo boards are themed weddings, Starved Rock fun, canyons, waterfalls and more. The lodge currently uses HootSuite to schedule posts ahead of time. This also allows them to post to Twitter.
“We also set up an Instagram account for the lodge, and anyone who takes a great photo should put the hashtag #lovestarvedrock on it so it links with the other photos that have been posted,” explained Casstevens. “YouTube videos made about Starved Rock continue to have people watch and share them. Social media team members maintain calendars of the posts they create to track response and effectiveness of the posts.” The lodge still has three active websites as well as the six social media channels to maintain. “We have hundreds of events and activities here, and we’re eager to share all of that with the people
who want to learn about it,” says Casstevens. “We still use email, but social media is so much faster; and the more we do it, the easier it gets!” Casstevens leads the social media team. Other team members, who are all employees of Starved Rock Lodge, are Jacki Pienta (operations manager); Pam Rowe (activities department); Andrea Yeruski (food and beverage manager); Ashley Kubiak (food and beverage supervisor); Molly Ryan (gift shop supervisor); Johnna Anderson (Cattails supervisor); Amber Edgcomb (sales department); and David Jones (food and beverage director).

Sports Lady Panthers beat Streator By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE – The Putnam County Lady Panthers staked out their territory at R.M. Germano Gymnasium Jan. 13, and the Streator Lady Bulldogs paid dearly for their intrusion, taking a 71 to 37 drubbing from the Lady Panthers. PC put the game away in the first quarter, racking up 35 points in the first eight minutes of play against Streator’s 6 points. From that point on, the game was never in much doubt with the Lady Panthers outscoring their opponents in three of the four quarters and tossing up the same number of points in the other. Daniela Pavlovich tossed in 16 points for the night with 14 of those in the first quarter. Carly Gonet also tallied 16 points to join Pavlovich as high-scorers for the night. Alison Voss, Stephanie Wilson and Taylor Pettit each contributed six more points to the Panther win.

Mallards beat PC By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Panthers lost an important contest on Jan. 17 in R.M. Germano Gymnasium, dropping to the Henry Mallards 63 to 48. Henry stepped out of the box fast, dropping in two baskets before Putnam County was able to get into the game. Although the lead went back and forth in the first quarter, the Mallards went into the second period leading 16 to 14. Henry quickly scored nine unanswered points, and the Panthers just couldn’t catch up from there. The Mallards’ Nathan Helle led all scorers with 18 points. Harold Fay and Alec Veverka paced the Panthers with 14 apiece and Evan Kreiser tossed in an additional 12 points. Veverka came up with 14 rebounds and Kreiser scooped up another 10 in their losing effort. Both teams went into the contest with a 13-2 record. The Mallards come out 14-2 and 3-0 in the league. The Panthers drop to 13-3 and 3-2 in league play. This win sets the Mallards as the top seed going into the Tri-County Championship Tournament, while PC draws second. The two teams have two more potential games this season, in the finals in the TCC Tournament or in the Class 1A Marquette Regional.

Ackman from Knoxville who again took him in a technical fall 15-0. At the 195-pound weight class, Matt Briddick (6-4) started in the second round after a bye in the first. Briddick took down Kewanee’s Skylar Finnin in the second round at 1:27 by pinfall. In the third round, against Fulton’s Zack Jenkins, Briddick took it into the second period and then lost by pinfall at 2:50. In wrestlebacks, Briddick then faced Polo’s Jacob Cain who beat him by decision 8-4, which earned him a fourth-place finish. Marco “Guet” Gueterriez (13-5) started in the second round after a bye against Peoria-Manuel’s Shawn Marizetts and won in the second period by pinfall at 3:30. Gueterriez
then faced eventual first place winner, Polo’s Jaun Dominguez and lost by decision 7-0.

In the heavyweight division, Marco Uribe (3-10) started his day in the second round after a first round bye. Uribe took on IVC’s Nick Jennings and lost in the first period by a pinfall at 1:48. In wrestlebacks, Uribe then went up against Fulton’s Steven Balk who pinned him during the first period at 38 seconds. This took Uribe to the fifth-place match against MonmouthRoseville’s Shain Johnson who beat him by decision 3-2 in a close match, earning Uribe a sixth-place finish in the bracket. Kreiwald was thrilled for his young team to have such a great showing. “This is the best we have done at this tournament as a team,” he said. “It was an exciting day. We are such a young team with nobody more than one year of experience, but the squad is making a great impression on the area coaches and the community.”

JV Lady Panthers prowls over Streator Lady Bulldogs By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcounty record.com
GRANVILLE – Outmanned does not mean outgunned, a fact the Putnam County JV Lady Panthers were more than happy to prove to the Streator Lady Bulldogs on Jan. 12. Streator brought 10 players to the court compared to PC’s six, but left with their tails between their legs after a 49 to 34 beatdown by the Lady Panthers. Putnam County got off to a rough start, putting up only 10 points compared to Streator’s 12 in the first quarter. The second period saw the Lady Panthers pull it together and easily outscore Streator 19 to 8, leaving the score 29 to 20 at the half. The Lady Bulldogs attempted a fourth quarter rally but it was too little, too late to stop PC. Margaret Voss led all scorers with 18 points. Teammates Tori Smoode and Kaitlyn Edgcomb put up 11 more each to put the Bulldogs down.

12 From You 12 • The Putnam County Record • Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Once upon a time... By Darrell Alleman news@putnamcountyrecord.com
This story is written in memory of Joe Masini and all the others in the Railroad Brotherhood who worked at the Three “I” (Howe) Bridge, which crossed the Illinois River from Putnam County to Bureau County near DePue. This old railroad telephone box once stood near the water tank at the Three “I” Bridge. It was used by railroad section crews, train engi-
neers and other railroad personnel as the only means of communication for many years, until the advent of radio communications. The Three “I” got its name from the Iowa, Illinois and Indiana Railroad, which went broke, and the New York Central and Milwaukee railroads completed the construction by 1905, when the coal mines were established in Putnam County. Then it was a boom town with more than 20 taverns in the village of Mark
alone. The Three “I” was also called the Howe Bridge, because it was nearest to Howe Station in what is known as White City on the far east side of DePue. Other Putnam County residents who worked at the bridge over time were Joe Toscana, Art Glover, Frank Biagi, Reno Meril, Doro Tonioni and James Marcacci. Contributors to this story include the children of Joe Masini: Marilyn Ballard, Joyce and Louis Flalko and Jerry Masini.

Marquis continues donation tradition Through the holiday season and for the fourth year in a row, the Marquis companies donated money to an area food pantry. This year, the donation was made to the Wyanet Food Pantry in the amount of $12,264. Every year the Hennepin-based company employees, who work for Marquis Energy, Marquis Grain, Marquis Marine, Marquis Management and Marquis Inc., donate money out of their own pocket, and the Marquis companies match the donations. Marquis Management employee Dana Gustafson (right) presents Wyanet Food Pantry Director Kathy Crayne with the check.
