Putnam County voters flood the polls By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Some technical difficulties made tabulating the votes difficult, but when the problems cleared, Putnam County voters showed a preference for the status quo in a primary election that pulled in 46.7 percent of the registered Putnam County voting populace. A total of 1,934 voters stormed the polls in the eight Putnam County pre-

cincts to make their voice heard. In local uncontested races, Kevin Kunkel picked up 1,094 votes in his Democratic bid for re-election as county treasurer. Kunkel faces no challengers from the Republican side for November. For the Democratic candidates for county board, all three candidates won their nominations. Duane Calbow received 941 votes; Luke Holly tallied 914; and Eric Balma took

home 820 votes. They will face off against Republican challenger Steve Malavolti who received 345 votes. Duane Calbow will be running for re-election with the other candidates fighting for the seat vacated by Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer in her unsuccessful run for county clerk, as well as the chair vacated by Jordan Ellena as he moves out of the area at year’s end. In his uncontested run for the Democratic nomi-

nation, Bradley Popurella picked up 1,016 votes. He will face off against Republican James Mack, who also ran unopposed picking up 364 ballots. In contested state races, Putnam County voters had clear cut winners in their totals. Local Republican voters picked James Oberweis (239 votes) as U.S. Senator over Douglas Truax (118 votes). That follows with Oberweiss’ statewide victory. He will face

Democrat Richard Durbin in November. Durbin ran unopposed. Democratic voters locally leaned toward Gov. Pat Quinn for re-election with his new running mate Paul Vallas. The Quinn ticket picked up 616 votes for 60 percent of the local total. Statewide, Quinn grabbed 72 percent statewide. Across the aisle, Putnam County Republicans picked Bruce Rauner and Evelyn Sanguinetti as their opponent to Quinn, which

echoes the state decision. The Rauner slate received 143 votes, 35 percent of the vote in Putnam County and 40 percent overall. Adam Kinzinger easily outpaced the challenge from David Hale locally in his run for re-election as 16th District Congressman with 330 votes or 85 percent of the local vote. Kinzinger took 78 percent statewide and will face off against the unopposed Democratic challenger Randall Olsen.

Doyle remains in sheriff’s seat By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — In a primary election that saw 46.7 percent of the county’s registered voters turn out, Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle coasted to a win over challenger Kevin Moore. Doyle had 1,229 votes over Moore’s 275 in the Democratic primary for the sheriff’s position. Doyle received the most votes of any candidate in the March 18 primary election. “I was overwhelmed by the support from the voters,” Doyle said. “I think the key is treating people fairly over the last 16 years.” Moore, Granville’s police chief, mounted a door-todoor campaign throughout the days leading up to the primary, but it wasn’t enough to unseat the incumbent. “I have to thank my family, friends and staff for my win,” Doyle said. “I have an excellent staff, and they’ve done a wonderful job for me.” The race for sheriff received the most attention of the county’s 1,924 voters visiting the polls with 1,504 voters making their opinion known in the race. Doyle’s share of the votes gave him nearly 82 percent of the total balloting. With no Republican candidate in the November elections, Doyle will retain his position as Putnam County Sheriff.

Kuhn wins re-election in primary By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Putnam County voters turned out in large numbers to voice their opinions in the primary election March 18. With a total of 1,934 voters going to the polls, 46.7 percent of the registered voters in the

county chose their candidates and their winners. In the contested race for the Democratic nomination for Putnam County Clerk, incumbent Dan Kuhn held off the challenge from Putnam County Board Member Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer. Kuhn captured 954 of the 1,477 votes cast, giving him 65

percent of the ballots. “It feels good,” Kuhn said. “It shows the voters showed their confidence in me and the work I’ve done over the past 11 years. “I had to work hard for this win because I knew my opponent would work hard,” Kuhn said. “There was a lot of money behind her campaign while my

funds were limited. I went doorto-door to talk to people. I think if people know you and the work you do, they appreciate you.” There was no Republican candidate for the office of county clerk, giving Kuhn an uncontested win in the upcoming general elections in November.

A school ahead of its time: Hopkins High School By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The story of Hopkins Township High School starts in 1916 when the voters of Granville, Mark and Standard voted to establish a high school together. The school was to be located on the north side of Granville. In 1917, the school was recognized as a township high school, and classes began in the fall of that year. The first classes were held in the Granville Grade School building and later moved to the second floor of the local post office. In December 1918, the new $40,000 building was completed, and classes moved there. According to the Hopkins Alumni Association, Hopkins Township High School would go on to graduate 50 senior classes, comprised of 1,329 students. The senior class of 1965-66 was the last class. Hopkins then consolidated with MagnoliaSwaney High School to become Putnam County High School, part of the Putnam County School District. The original Hopkins building was very advanced and forward thinking for the times.

In earlier times, high schools had pennants that students often held up or waved at sporting events. There was a pergola, an archway in a garden or park consisting of a framework covered with trained climbing or trailing plants, and a colonnade on the west side of the building. This beautiful feature of the school was replaced in 1950 with a new state of the art gymnasium. In sports, the Hopkins High School mascot was the Hornets, and the school colors were green and white. The school offered boys basketball, baseball and track as a member of the Tri-County Conference. The Hornets excelled in sports especially in basketball in the 1940s. Between 1940 and 1947, the boys were Illinois High School Association title winners in six of the eight seasons they competed in. Additionally, from the 1932-33 school year to the 1945-46 school year, the Hornets won seven Tri-County Confer-

ence Tournament titles and took second on three other occasions. Darrell Alleman and Jeannie Anderson Alleman, who were class of 1947 graduates from Hopkins High School, remembered the times being different than today. The classes were quite a bit smaller, and teams had quite a few less athletes than teams do today. “I think there were only seven or eight kids on the basketball team,” Jeannie said. “There were only 27 students in our senior class,” Darrell added. “I think there were only five or six boys.” “At that time the boys, when they became 16, could get a job over at the watch factory, (Westclox) in Peru,” Jeannie said. “Girls did too. My good friend didn’t finish school, and she was a bright, bright girl. But many of the

families needed money, so they went to work.” “A lot of the farm boys also quit in eighth grade too,” Darrell said. The times had many Hopkins students coming from one-room school houses. Letter-sweaters, chorus and soloists, Girls Athletic Association (GAA) and Future Farmers of America were the order of the day. However coming out of the Great Depression, many students worked summer jobs, after-school jobs and quit school early to help families earn money to pay bills. Both Allemans agree Hopkins High School was one of the premiere high schools in the state of Illinois. With forward thinking administration and educators, the school made its mark. Student minds were constantly stimulated by pictures of classic art, presidents, stained glass windows and statuary whenever they were not in classes. Other high school students were brought in to tour the school “The school was written up by the University of Illinois at the time for being a model school for Putnam County Record photos/Dixie Schroeder how so many different Hopkins High School Class of 1947 graduate Darways of having things for rell Alleman shows his letter sweater that he students,” Jeannie said. wore in school.

New furnace, generator for McNabb By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MCNABB — The pumphouse and northern lift station in McNabb will be better equipped for bad weather before summer comes. The McNabb Village Board was informed at its March 19 meeting a new furnace has been installed in the pumphouse, and a new generator will be installed before the end of May. The generator will serve both the pumphouse and the northern lift station and keep both operational in the event of a power outage. McNabb will have another car show this summer. Response to the first one was favorable and the Blood, Sweat and Gears Car Club would like to sponsor another. The event will be in July

or August. The board also discussed the general condition of Coleman Park. A clean-up and repair date will be set to paint and fix playground equipment and other items in the park that are starting to show wear. The McNabb Fire Department is sponsoring its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt will be on April 12 in Coleman Park. The time has not been set but will be listed on the McNabb village website when it is finalized. The board agreed to engage Hopkins and Associates for its annual budget audit. Donations were made to the Putnam County Community Center and to the Putnam County Rotary for the post-prom party Afterglow.

Hennepin ponies up for the Little League HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Village Board is helping the village’s Little League prepare for the summer season. Little League Director Paul Biagini presented his annual report to the board during its meeting on March 19, outlining the plans for the season and condition of equipment. The board made a donation of $6,970 to keep Little League a part of children’s lives in Hennepin. In other business, Bill Shafer told the board road repairs would not start on Hennepin streets until the spring freezes are finished. Until the temperatures stabilize, any repair work accomplished would possibly be damaged before summer. The village has bought a new truck, and the village is seeking bids for the old 2004 F350 truck. Also, the board made a donation of $300 to the Putnam County Rotary for the post-prom party Afterglow. The board also made a $150 donation to the Putnam County Community Center.

Not hooked up to the sewer? Mark officials look at village history for answers By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MARK – The village of Mark sewer system was one of several items discussed in an abbreviated meeting on March 18. Mayor Frank Niewinski informed the board of information he had given to the new homeowner who found that his home was not hooked up to the village sewer system. “When the sewer system was put in, we had a grant out there that low to moderate (income) people could fill out a questionnaire and get help if they fell in the parameters of their income requirements,” Niewinski said. “They pulled the records of the house. The house was originally owned by L. Johnson who did take out a paper to fill out, but never returned it in.

For whatever reason, a lot of people did that and never turned them in.” The responsibility for hooking up to the sewer system was with the homeowner at that time, who had up to a year to do so, according to the village ordinance regarding this issue. “The bottom line was that house fell through the cracks,” Niewinski said. “There’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. It’s the homeowner’s responsibility to put the sewer in.” Discussion was held under the old business section of the meeting on the house number/post office identification project. This project includes verifying the number assigned for each home in Mark is correct and aligns with the proposed delivery by mail or other alternative delivery services. The village also authorized a new working agreement with Hopkins and Associates.

Learning through 3-D glasses PC School Board hears of Cubed Classroom program By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County School Board was given a unique presentation on the Cubed Classroom at its meeting on March 17. Putnam County Junior High School math teacher Emory Burdette demonstrated the Cubed Classroom which has students able to manipulate and learn from three dimensional images. The program can teach math or science and has other potential applications. The students wear 3-D style glasses — more sturdy than typical movie theater 3-D glasses — and this allows them to view the program. The program levels have been used in high school math and science as well as in the elementary buildings and at the junior high school. Money to purchase the program was given by Quaker Lane Enterprises, a company Putnam County resident Bart Whitney works for. According to Putnam County Schools Superintendent Jay McCracken, Whitney was instrumental in the process of obtaining the money for

the district. In other business: • A new certificate of deposit was given to North Central Bank (NCB) for the next 12 months. The CD is in the amount of $334,405.58. This was awarded to NCB through bidding per the district investment policy. • The state of Illinois owes Putnam County School District $220,397.17, which McCracken characterized as typical for this time of year. • The board came out of closed session and authorized the rehire of first-year teachers: Kyle Anderson, Emory Burdette, Kristin Erickson, Monica Frund, Wendy Louis, Jared Moore, Chris Newsome, Joey Ohnesorge, Chelsi Straughn and Matt Gimbal. Second-year teachers rehired included Michelle Edens, Samantha Fifer, Jamie Kunkel and Kaitlyn Ralph. Third-year teachers who were rehired included Tyler Ellena, John Heiser and Jessica Lenkaitis. The board rehired and granted tenure to fourth-year teacher Josh Nauman. Laura Spraggon and Sarah Kottke received notices they will not be re-employed.

MARSHALL-PUTNAM FAIR BeNeFIT SPAgHeTTI DINNeR

Deal reached with Johannes By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE – Characterizing the Putnam County School District’s meeting with the Johannes Bus Co. as “positive but very hard,” Superintendent Jay McCracken informed the school board on March 17 issues have been resolved. The goals of the meeting including airing the list of concerns the district has regarding Johannes’ service, asking Johannes to admit that they have had problems, and to come to an agreement regarding protocol for any future bus incidents. The issues at hand stem from a Feb. 18 incident where a Johannes bus went off the road near Putnam County Junior High School on Swaney Road. Johannes initially gave the impression to the district the bus was empty when, in fact, there were students who had to be evacuated through the bus’ back door emergency exit. At the meeting, the district, represented by McCracken, has hammered out a very specific new contract stating expectations the district has of Johannes. In the case of an emergency evacuation or incident, Johannes will contact emergency help as warranted. They will then contact the district office and nearest school building. Passengers are to remain on the bus unless emergency dictates they disembark. Johannes and the district will coordinate to contact parents or guardians of school children directly involved in the accident. The district also requests a written account of any incident along with GPS and video/audio data be sent to the district office within 24 hours of an incident. If any of these conditions are not met, then Putnam County School District will have the right to break the contract with Johannes. “At this particular time, they understand that should they fail to follow protocol, then they will result in the termination of their contract,” McCracken said. “That will happen if they fail to follow that protocol. They are aware of that from that meeting. We feel very confident that they will respond positively with this, and that’s a better resolution to this than a lengthy lawsuit. That’s what we wanted all along was to insure the safety of our students.”

Marking time It was a day I had been waiting for ... and to be quite honest, I didn’t think it would ever come. I don’t mind telling you I’m sharing this long-awaited discovery in hopes it offers others the same sense of peace it gave me. Most of you know I heard the word “cancer” uttered from my doctor’s mouth. The actual words I remember were “cancer, serious and malignant.” I remember walking out of that doctor’s office more of a woman than I had walked in. Those three words carved a hole in my soul, never to be forgotten. Never. It’s difficult to believe I first heard those Terri words seven years ago, and like other Simon cancer survivors, those words have continued to haunt me on a daily basis. They come and go, but they never leave. In fact, they resurface several times a day — usually without warning, and I’m left to decipher and attempt to deal with them. Once you hear the word cancer — and I’ve said this before, your world changes forever. Nothing is the same again, and life is different. If a cancer survivor/patient tells you otherwise, I need to learn their secret because the words, the worry, the unknown will forever etch themselves in your mind, your heart, your soul, your dreams and your waking moments. That’s right. You remember the day you first heard the word. The exact date, the exact time. You remember the number of chemotherapy treatments you had, and you remember how many radiation treatments you underwent. You never forget the exact day of your surgery. You don’t forget all the days you went back for check-ups, hopeful everything was OK. You rehash, remember and recall. It’s just part of it. Much to my dismay, I’ve resigned myself to those facts. I will always carry around the emotions, the worries, the trepidation and everything else that goes along with that diagnosis. Whether the cancer is gone or not, one still lives with the word and everything that accompanies it. It’s just that simple. It’s just that convoluted. And so it was the other night ... The clock was nearing midnight, and as I laid awake in my bed ... the darkness swirling around me ... my mind was busy preparing for the next day and what needed to be accomplished. I spend a lot of time with my thoughts on those late nights — not that I accomplish a lot, but I attempt to sort out a variety of situations, issues, ideas, etc. In my crazy world, it’s a peaceful time I cherish more than most will ever know. And then it hit me. Wow! My eyes popped open like a child startled by a loud noise in the middle of the night, however, this “noise” was something I hadn’t planned on hearing — or should I say not hearing. You see, it was the late evening hours of March 5 — the day I first heard the word “cancer” associated with my own body seven years ago. As the clock neared midnight, I realized that fateful day in my own personal history had nearly passed me by without even the slightest remembrance. As a matter of fact, as I contemplated my latenight discovery, I realized I hadn’t thought about the cancer for quite a few days. What? How did that happen? How did I forget such a horrifying and awful experience? What changed? Why did I miss that all important anniversary date? Why hadn’t the thought of cancer crossed my mind for a while? I guess my point to all of this is that old saying that, “Time heals all wounds,” might just literally be right. There was a point in my life when the word “cancer” plagued my world, and now, I’m happy to report that while I still think about it a lot, time has allowed me to forget now and then. That’s a pleasant discovery, and if you’ve walked in my shoes, I know you understand. Time ... from both perspectives ... well, I guess that’s what it’s all about, my friends.

Applause to the Truck and Auto Store To the Editor, I want to give a big thank you to Ron Herman for the former Truck and Auto Store. I first met him when I was 12 years old. I needed a spark plug for my dirt bike. He had

one, so I didn’t have to ask my parents for a ride to Peru to get one. Since then, he’s gotten shocks, exhaust systems, carburetors, batteries, bearings, paint, waxes and hundreds of quarts of oil. Sometimes I’d just call, he’d say “OK, I’ll just put it out back in the alley, and you can pick it up

on your way home.” I think he started the store around 1969 or ‘70 before that he drove a fuel oil truck. I think before that he was a pharmacist on a ship in the Coast Guard. He’d always asked me how I was doing, and we’d talk politics, golf or on his favorite: Put-

nam County basketball and baseball. Now when I open my cabinets and I’m out of whatever I need, I think of how nice it was, and how nice he was. Thank you Ron Herman for all the years and your Truck and Auto Store. Bill Migliorini Jr. Granville

Field of Dreams The Chicago Cubs 2014 squad looks quite similar to the 2013 squad that finished last year’s season. That is somewhat of a worry to me, especially after a 96-loss season. But one of baseball’s youngest line-ups hopefully should only improve with another year under its belt. That experience should pay dividends, and the Cubs have one of the top farm systems in baseball. In addition, some of their best farm players are getting closer to making it to Wrigley Field. Jeanne and I took some time to fly to Mesa, Ariz., to watch a few Cub training games in the new Cubs ballpark. We flew on Allegiant Air out of Peoria into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, both beautiful airports. In Peoria, we saw many local people on our plane: Betty and Lisa Johnson, Ken Jenkins and Steve Du Rubeis. When we landed in Mesa, we met Sharon Johnson waiting to pick up Betty and Lisa by the baggage pick-up. Then on Sunday’s game when the Cubs played Cleveland, we were walking to our seats and met Buster Zenor and his wife. On our return flight to Peoria, our fellow passengers were Phil Carlson, Wayne Hundley, Ron Spratt, Dave Thompson, Darnell Edens, Mike Gonet, Jamie Vance and Matt Hostetter. When we went to our first game at the new stadium, I was kind of disappointed how it looked as we walked to it. Andy Romagnoli had warned me that it was not

Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY spectacular, and he was right. But when we entered the park, it was beautiful. It felt somewhat like Wrigley Field, especially the outfield fences. I sat by a guy who had retired 14 months ago and moved to Mesa from Chicago. Before the game started, he said, “You need to know there is no Ernie Banks or Ron Santo on this team.” He was right; the Colorado Rockies beat the Cubs 13 to 0. I am not sure how the major league’s new rule that bans home plate collisions this year will work. To me, that’s always been part of the game. Major League Baseball and its players have agreed to a new rule designed to reduce home plate collisions. The new rule prohibits a catcher from the plate without the ball, and prohibits a runner from lowering a shoulder or using their hands to intentionally create a collision. A runner violating the rule shall be declared out, even if the catcher drops the ball. A runner who slides appropriately is not in violation of the rule. Last season, the Cubs laid down the fewest sacrifices in the National League. I’m hoping new manager Renteria will make the bunt a priority this season and have the

Cubs play the game the way it’s meant to be. Albert Almora is the youngest player in the Cubs spring training camp at 19 years. Carlos Villanueva and Chris Rusin are top candidates for the fifth starting pitcher. On March 15, the Cubs park set the Cactus League record with 15,191 fans in attendance. Major League Baseball is unveiling a replay system that will perhaps put an end to missed calls by umpires. The system will cover almost every play except balls and strikes. It will watch checked swings, a trapped ball in the infield, and the neighborhood play when a defensive player turning a double play comes close to second base but does not actually touch it. Managers are allowed one challenge per game. I think I will miss the manager running out of the dugout, yelling at the umpire’s missed call, sticking up for his player and then getting tossed out of the game. The Cubs’ “Core Four” of Kris Bryant, Javier Balz, Almora and Jorge Soler probably will be sent down to Triple A before the regular season starts. Myself, I would play them in the big leagues now. Wrigley Field was built 100 years ago in 1914. Wouldn’t it be great if the Cubs won the World Series this year? Well, a guy can dream, can’t he?

Sports Bringing crowd to their feet from the sidelines By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — They do their best during every game of the basketball season. Both at home and on the road, they make sure the Putnam County fans enjoy the game. Week in and week out, they suit up and go out on the court to give it their best. They’re the Putnam County cheerleaders. Kaitlyn Foley is the first-year cheerleading sponsor but it’s not her first time in the Putnam County cheerleading organization. Foley graduated from PC in 2009 where she was a cheerleader all four years. From there, she went to Western Illinois University in Macomb where she studied elementary education. Foley also teaches fourth-grade at Putnam County Primary School. “When the old athletic director was here, he told me there was going to be an opening, and I should apply for it since I was also a cheerleader at Western,” Foley said. “I just always really liked cheerleading.” Most of the girls got into cheerleading because it looked fun, but many found out it was a bit harder than it seemed, which made it more of an accomplishment. “It takes a lot of coordination and practice, but when you’re done, you feel like you’ve really accomplished something,” Nikki Mertel said. In cheerleading, most girls are bases and a few are fliers. As one might expect, the fliers are the girls who are lifted high and perform the aerial maneuvers. You also might expect they wanted to be in that position, but that’s not always the case. “I didn’t want to do it, but I had to suck it up and do it,” Chloe Judd said. “I’ve been cheerleading for two years.” “I was nervous the first time,” McKenna Downey said. “I kinda volunteered. They asked if I would and I said, ‘Sure.’” The fliers are smaller girls usually starting as freshmen; some will continue as fliers but many will become bases in the varsity years. Bases are generally any girl who spends most of their time with their feet firmly planted on the ground. What was sponsor Foley when she was in school? “I was a base,” Foley said. “No way was I going to fly.”

Panther track ready to prowl By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Panthers boys track team is at the starting gate and ready to race into the 2014 spring season. Head coach Chuck McConnell sees a lot of depth in the middle distance races. “This year for the boys I think we will be a lot stronger in our mid distance running this year,” he said. “We do have a couple of decent sprinters. We’ll have James Hewitt a freshman as one of them. For mid distance we now have Noe Flores, who is a freshman. We have Jon Sabotta, another freshman. We have a nice freshman class coming up.” McConnell looks to his upperclassmen to help lead the younger runners in their first year of prep track. He notes Mario Flores, a junior, is one who will provide a great example as well as doing a great job in the middle distance races. Areas where McConnell looks to Panther successes includes the 4 by 800 race. “We have so much depth there. I have my four main guys, but we have enough for a couple of alternates too,” he said. Conditioning early in the season is key to prevent injuries. No one knows that more than Mario Flores and fellow senior Austin Middleton. Both student-athletes have a belief system ingrained through their years of competition in what it takes to be successful. Middleton knows he will be doing the 200 meter race and shotput. Mario Flores is expecting to participate in the 300 meter

hurdles, the 4x800 relay and possibly the 800 meter open. “You have to definitely be really strict with what you eat. You can’t eat all the junk food you normally do or you will mess up all the progress you make in practice,” Middleton said. “You can definitely feel what you eat when you run and that,” Mario Flores said. “So you don’t want to load up on bad food right before an event especially.” Both Middleton and Mario Flores have been around the track enough to know how much they enjoy being in the Panther track program. While there is work involved, there is often a sense of satisfaction each athlete can’t find in other areas. “I am mainly in it because I enjoy it, and I like the variety. The thing is to try to better myself each time out,” Middleton said. “I am trying to also come back from a wrestling team injury, so that is it for now,” Mario Flores said. Part of the track practice is weight room work. One day a runner will work on upper body and arms, the next on lower body muscles and the legs. Keeping muscles in shape early on is the key to help prevent injuries later in the season. The Panther track team also has seniors Noah DeBates, Tristan Keegan and Stephen Morine; sophomore Kurt Nabers and freshmen Seth Carlson, Owen Mallery and Jarod Williams. McConnell isn’t totally set on what each team member will participate in during the season. The first meet the Panthers will participate in is at Normal U-High School on March 29.

Former Extension officer earns Ph.D. TOLUCA — Dianna Gensler Bourassa, the daughter of Don and Diane Gensler of Toluca, earned her doctorate from the University of Georgia on Dec. 13, 2013. Her Ph.D. is in Philosophy of BioChemistry and Molecular Biology. Bourassa earned her master’s and bachelor’s of science degrees with an emphasis in poultry also from the University of Georgia. She attended her first year of college at University of Illinois. Bourassa met her husband, Jason, in New Mexico while working a summer job as a camp counselor. Her interest in poultry began when she was in 4-H as a Ben-

nington Go-Getter. While in her 10-year career as a 4-H’er, Bourassa tried several project areas including horses, sewing, entomology, natural resources and poultry. Four-H gave her the opportunity to try several of her interests, before she decided on poultry as her career. Bourassa is currently working for the USDA in Georgia in the Biological Science Research Department. She married Jason in 1999 and they have one son, Isaac. Bourassa said she choose this career path because of 4-H. Bourassa was a Marshall-Puntam Extension 4-H member.
