Granville OKs motor fuel tax resolution By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Granville Village Board made it official at the Tuesday, April 21, meeting when they voted unanimously to pass the Motor Fuel Tax resolution earmarking $96,000 for street repairs and resurfacing. The figure includes resurfacing McCoy Street from

Route 71 north to the railroad tracks with asphalt, something Village President Doug Gimbal is still opposed to. “My stand is I still don’t agree with it,” Gimbal said. Gimbal has pushed for resurfacing the street with concrete, but other board members felt the extra money it would cost was something they could not justify in the village’s

financial condition. Village Engineer Mike Richetta told the board the allocation would use all of the funds currently in the account. He noted the numbers for the sealcoat patching could be reduced for the summer project. In other news, the board: • Learned of the money lost in the March Motor Fuel Tax revenues due

to the state’s $50 million sweep in the budget passed by the Illinois General Assembly. Richetta calculated the village’s loss at approximately $1,500. Although the measure was only set for one month, Richetta noted such a sweep “gets easier the second time.” • Approved retaining Hopkins and Associates for the village’s annual audit. Hopkins quoted a

price not to exceed $6,000 for this year’s audit. • Approved a donation to the Illinois Valley Community College summer programs for $2,100. The programs are set up to teach children the healthy aspects of being active. Last year, the programs served 300 students. The sessions start from 9 to 11 a.m. May 30 and run for four weeks. • Agreed to help Gran-

ville children take swimming lessons at the Hennepin Park District. Sessions are $33 per student. The village agreed to pay for one session. • Approved allowing Aqua Back Flow to administer the cross connection control surveys for the village at a cost of $1.35 per household. • Discussed the replacement of defective fire hydrants in the village.

Street project almost completed By Ken Schroeder

MARK — The Mark Village Board did a walkthrough of the Saint Paul Street project during the board meeting Tuesday, April 21. The repairs were started last year with progress on the project running ahead of schedule before winter set in. The board members made the walkthrough to decide on what repairs remain before the project is completed this spring. Area resident Merle Norris gifted the board with a set of photos. The photos were of various construction projects around Mark that have been completed over the years. In other action, the board: • Announced repairs on the lift station on the north end of Milwaukee Street will be starting soon. • Opened bids for a new tractor and mower. Board members decided to seek more pricing using other tractor and equipment combinations. • Reminds residents electronic recycling will be available June 13 at Mark Village Hall. Only Putnam County residents will be able to use the service and identification will be checked. • Will swear in the elected officials from the consolidated election at the next board meeting on Tuesday, May 5.

With a little help from my friend Roger Barnard of Granville knows this time of year can be long when working the fields. So Derby, Barnard’s 12-week-old puppy (standing just outside of the tractor cab), keeps him company in the cab of the tractor that he drives for Luke Holly of Standard. Barnard was plowing a field owned by Phil and Mary Edgerley of rural Granville.

Remembering Jeanne Alleman GRANVILLE — Putnam County has lost one of its best. Jeanne Alleman, 85, of Granville died on Sunday, April 19, at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, Peoria. A person who never seemed to slow down, Alleman was a second-grade teacher and taught at Granville Grade School, Hopkins Elementary and

Swaney Grade School. She was a Putnam County School Board member for 12 years and volunteered with the Marshall-Putnam Fair, 4-H, the Putnam County Republicans and Psi Omega Volunteer Women’s Club. For her volunteer efforts, she was awarded the Gallery of Ageless Achievement Award by the state of Illi-

nois in 1999. Linda Walter of Streator was a second-grade teacher who worked with Alleman and remembers her well. “I always thought of her as shining,” Walter said. “She always had this positive aura around her. You never heard a negative word from her on one of her children. She was a

very giving person for her students, fellow teachers and everyone around her.” Walter’s daughter attended school with Alleman as a teacher. She told her mother, “Of all the teachers I ever had, Jeanne had the biggest impact on me.”

Hall: ‘Anything that comes from it is gravy’ By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

This is the second story in a three-part series on video gaming in Illinois; how it works, where the money goes and who can benefit from allowing video gaming in their establishments. GRANVILLE — It’s a cozy atmosphere when you walk into Kaddywampus Sports Grill in Granville. With a dining room to your left and an old-fashioned bar counter to your right, it’s a slice of Americana, like many small-town taverns. In the back hallway, there used to be a wide space along the south wall that had no use. Today, it holds three video gaming terminals (VGTs) which contributed almost $24,000 to the restaurant’s bottom line in 2014. “They’ve done pretty well for us,” Kaddywampus co-owner Tom Hall said. “It’s space that we really couldn’t use before, so anything that comes from it is gravy.” Kaddywampus was the first tavern in Granville and one of the first in Putnam County to offer

video gaming. That status might have been responsible for a huge upswing in business, but it wasn’t. “We had a bump in people who came in when we first got them, but we don’t really see that now,” co-owner Kris Hall said. “The people who play now are our regulars who play while they’re in for food or a drink.” The broad cubicle where the terminals reside is perfectly suited for video gaming. The three terminals and the pay-out terminal fit nearly perfectly in the space. State laws dictate VGTs have to be within sight of an employee, and the space has a direct line-of-sight to the bar – that condition has been met. While they’re pleased with the terminals and the extra income, there are still a couple of things the Halls aren’t happy about. “What surprised me the most is we had to pay taxes on the proceeds,” Tom said. “I figured after the fees and licensing we’d be good, but that wasn’t the case. It’s taxed like other income.” Some establishments

A player tries his luck on a video gaming terminal in Pagan O’Leary’s in Granville. Last year, state coffers took in almost $165 million from individuals playing video slots. According to the Illinois Gaming Board, more than $8.24 billion was fed into the terminals in 2014, with a payout of more than $7.5 billion — an overall payout rate of 92 percent. do better with video gaming than others. Only three terminals are located at Samms Bar and Grill in Hennepin, licensed as Lefevre Inc. However, it’s the gaming hotspot of the county with $1,291,678.11 flowing into the machines, an average of more than $1,179 per terminal per day. Some establishment owners have noticed video gaming is a widely fluctuating side income — income and outgo can be very sporadic in

tention lies outside the building. “In order to have the machines, it’s the law you have to serve liquor,” Kris said. “How do these places that have started up as just gaming parlors get around that? How can they break the rules like that?” While the state grabs a healthy piece of the pie, the Halls have no regrets about adding the terminals to the floor space. “If they didn’t work, they wouldn’t be here,” Kris said.

video gaming terminals (VGTs). The vagaries of when the machine’s algorithms decide to pay off, plus the ebb and flow of people playing the games, can result in high numbers for the establishments for one month and flat figures the next. “Some weeks, a machine will go for days without a big payout,” he said. “The terminal owners will come in after a while and make an adjustment, and it pays out constantly.” The other bone of con-

Putnam County School Board honors Alleman By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County School Board opened its monthly meeting on Monday, April 20, by observing a moment of silence for the late county resident Jeanne Alleman. “She was a long time Putnam County teacher and board member. She will be greatly missed in our community,” Vicky Nauman, school board president, said. The board heard a presentation from the district’s Response to Intervention team (RtI), accepted resignations, hired staff and viewed a presentation from the junior high’s science fair team. Two of the four members of the RtI coaching team gave an update on how the program is doing. Ronda Vacca of the primary school and Monica Frund of the elementary school explained the differences between a Tier I, Tier II and Tier III intervention for students who struggle with learning.

Alleman From Page 1 “Jeanne always placed kids first, as a teacher and as a board of education member,” Putnam County School Superintendent Jay McCracken said. “Her

There is a team of educators at each building who review intervention strategies and assist in their implementation. This is the second year of the program at the primary school level, Vacca said. She said the second year of experience working with interventions has allowed more success stories, especially at the lower grade levels. At the elementary school, Frund talked about how the team and staff are learning the best way to implement intervention teaching strategies as this is the first year of the program there. Other members of the RtI coaching team include David Lombardo at the junior high school building and Annette Davis at the high school. The board went into closed season at the end of the meeting to review staff. Following the session, the board accepted the resignations of James Barnett, high school physical education teacher and girls basketball coach, and Kaitlyn Foley as high school cheerleading coach. The board hired Kelly McCur-

teacher Jennifer Dudek introduced the eighth-grade students who attended the regional science fair this year. Each student presented a summary of their projects to the board. Dudek said all students who participated earned first-place

ribbons. Becky Ramey was chosen to advance to state level. Dudek thanked the board for the district’s financial support of the program. Irene Nelson-Parola from Johannes Bus Services told the board how much better this school year has been regarding transportation. She also praised the principals and secretaries in the district for their superior and quick actions in dealing with the occasional problems that come up. “I can call them, and if there is an issue, it’s taken care of. The secretaries are phenomenal. I rely upon them ... their advice,” Nelson-Parola said. In other business, the board: • Noted the 2014-15 school calender has been updated. June 1 is now the last attendance day with report cards, while June 2 is teacher institute day. • Heard the state is still behind $224,373 in payments to the district. • Heard the Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax (CPPRT) check for $695,852.38 has been received.

Bureau/Putnam County Health Department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation. Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal. Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above. At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of

Seat assignments I needed it. A brief vacation in Nashville, Tenn., to visit friends and family. I had planned this time away for weeks ... hanging on the idea of some much needed rest and relaxation. Since my flight reservations were made at the last minute, I knew I couldn’t be too picky. I didn’t really care how I got to Music City, U.S.A. The airline didn’t matter; the connecting flights didn’t matter; the times didn’t really matter. My only request was my seat selection. I wanted an aisle seat on all the flights. That was my only wish, which I believed would allow me to ignore fellow passengers, thrive on anonymity and fly without any distractions with my head resting comfortably on the back of the seat and my eyes closed. It wasn’t too much to ask. Flight 1: Bloomington, Ill., to Atlanta, Ga. Terri Simon OK. My seat was next to the window, but I wasn’t too upset since the seat next to me was vacant. Aaahhh! I settled in and looked apprehensively at every passenger who walked past me. Whew! I closed the window shade, tilted my head back and closed my eyes as the final boarding calls were issued. This was going to be great ... Until I heard these words ... “Well, it looks like I’m sitting next to you.” I opened my eyes to a nicely dressed fellow — probably in his mid to late 60s. I smiled weakly and snatched my purse off what I believed was going to be an empty seat. I still don’t know his name. Maybe he told me, but it didn’t sink in. He hadn’t been seated for more than three minutes when he snatched his cell phone out of his pocket and asked me if I wanted to see some photos. What was I going to say? He had a kind face; I’m a sucker for a kind face. My seat partner had 579 photos on his cell phone. His pool, his palm trees, his partner, his cookie jar collection, a bazillion Florida sunrises/sunsets ... I’m sure I saw all 579 photos. No kidding. When Delta finally landed in Atlanta 1.5 hours later, he said, “Wow. It seems like we were only in the air for 15 minutes.” I smiled but was thinking it seemed more like 15 hours to me. Flight 2: Atlanta, Ga., to Nashville, Tenn. Traversing the Atlanta airport is not an easy task. After walking what seemed like miles, taking a subway train and dodging other passengers with a cup of Starbucks in my hand, I finally found my gate which was crowded with others headed to Nashville. I went to the ticket counter and pleaded for an aisle seat on this full flight. Of course, my seat was in the middle. Ugh! I sat down, tilted my head back and closed my eyes. The fellow on my left had his eyes on an iPad. Good. The guy on my right was headed to Nashville to party with a buddy, who he chatted with across the aisle. Before we even took off, “Lefty” asked if I knew about the new “Star Wars” film. OMG! I shook my head no and told him I’d never seen one “Star Wars” movie. Am I stupid? He talked the entire flight about every “Star Wars” film ever made, and the guy on my right asked the flight attendant for a piece of paper as he learned I had once lived in Nashville and assumed I knew every honky tonk/ club in town. He made scrupulous notes and asked me directions to all the hot spots. Flight 3: Nashville, Tenn., to Minneapolis, Minn. “Please can I have an aisle seat?” I asked the ticket agent when I checked in. My words were met with a smile and a nod. Inevitably though, I was seated between two occupational therapists who left no detail unturned as they told me of their convention in Nashville. Before it was over, I knew their children’s names, their soccer schedules, what they ate throughout their stay in Nashville and a rundown of all the workshops they attended. Crazy train! Flight 4: Minneapolis, Minn., to Bloomington, Ill. I walked up to Abdul A. at the Delta ticket counter and wearily uttered the following words: “I will give you $100 if you give me an aisle seat.” He didn’t take the money, but I think he knew I meant business. Mission accomplished!

First Person Jody Taliani Town: Hennepin. Occupation: Co-owner Route 71 Autobody. Family: I have a wife and three kids, age 15, 9 and 7. Pets: One dog, Josie. What was the last book/magazine you read: Car and Track magazine. What was the last song you heard: I have the radio on all day but don’t pay attention to the titles. What was the last TV show you watched: “American Pickers.” If someone stranded you on a deserted island and you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be: Prime rib.

If someone stranded you on a deserted island and you could take only one thing with you, what would it be: My family. If someone gave you a million dollars, what would you do with it: I would invest it.

Name a favorite area restaurant: I like all of Putnam County restaurants. What is one thing you like about your town: I love the residents and the businesses. What is one thing you would change about your town: I don’t think so.

Holding on to hope at the grill For those who haven’t figured out the real me (a list rumored to include coworkers, employers, teachers, neighbors, the one friend from high school I’ve yet to alienate, the loyal readership and most of my immediate family) and have only a mental profile based entirely on these oftentimes lackluster attempts at humor which I submit for publication, I have a shocking (or perhaps mildly disturbing) personality trait admission. Despite this somewhat gruff, standoffish exterior I project, I possess a gentler, kinder side. I would go so far as to say that I am a long-standing, dyed in the wool, travel to the ends of the Earth for the one I love, hopeless romantic. Yep, ol’ Chucky is (or was) a flower sending, mushy card buying, dinner by candlelight kinda guy. But it must be said, like so many other experiences in life, romance is unfortunately subject to evolution and transition over time. Fight it as I may, the days of wine and chocolate covered strawberries and rose petals strewn over a warm drawn bubble bath have slowly subsided, only to be replaced with afternoons spent in the company of the love of my life, traipsing around Hobby Lobby, searching for inspiration for the ultimate painted sticks and weeds arrangement to accent our living room decor ... followed by a scrumptious 2-for-$20 meal at Applebee’s. And if feeling especially amorous, we may even

Chuck Mason COMMENTARY

stare longingly at each other over a bloomin’ onion and an imported brew. During one recent “evening of enchantment” at the old neighborhood grill, I was witness to perhaps the most mind numbingly (and mood shattering) ridiculous example of all that is wrong with (you pick one) people/technology/relationships/society ... and needless to say, an abrupt end was brought to any thoughts of love I may have entertained. After a short wait, we were seated in the far back corner booth, providing a clear view of the entire gluttonous mob. Quickly ordering our appetizers and drinks, my attention turned from the fingerprint smudged menu to the foursome adjacent to us, who had been seated when we entered. Two couples, silent but for the nearly inaudible tapping on their four music playing camera phone tablet lap pads, and the occasional snort when something they read tickled the old funny bone. Their disgusted waitress, attempting a friendly smile as she delivered drinks, hovered about the area as

their menus lay untouched. As silent as mimes, they spent the next five minutes posing and taking pictures with (but never drinking) their frothy alcohol refreshments in every combination possible with four people. As our main course arrived piping hot, the Marceaus were simultaneously served a heaping platter of onion rings. Before sampling, one female (as best I could tell) extracted the largest ring, folded it over on itself and tucked it around her gums while making silly faces for the enjoyment (and more photo combination opportunities) of her cohorts. She resembled a creepy Suzanne Sommers (if Suzy had covered her Botox bloated lips in a tasty batter before dipping her jowls in a Fry Daddy). And so we ate ... sadly shaking our heads at what our species has become, yet comforted by our own electronic device freedom. As we passed their table upon exiting, their entrees were finally served (precipitating another round of Instagram worthy photos). The expressions in the waiting area on those faces not bathed in the glow of their own electronic displays made it clear that we are many, yet weary. Hope, my friends, is all we have at this point.

Pass the pie, then fix the state The state House took a break from serious business to name a state pie last week. Too bad that grappling with Illinois financial woes wasn’t also as easy as pie Food fans will love what the Illinois House cooked up last week. Pumpkin pie was voted as the state’s official pie. Even though Illinois’ finances are in perilous shape, and budgets are being sliced right and left, perhaps we shouldn’t begrudge lawmakers a short break from the serious problems at hand. A lawmaker from Morton, Republican state Rep. Keith Sommer, put the legislation on the House’s menu. He represents a large pumpkin-growing region and touted the fact that Illinois produces about 85 percent of

pumpkin consumed in the nation. House members apparently swallowed his argument; the vote was 108 in favor, 3 opposed. So, why not name a state pie? We have a state fruit (Gold Rush apple) and state snack food (popcorn), not to mention about 20 other officially designated state somethings-or-other. Of course, Chicago area lawmakers might protest that Chicago-style pizza “pie” ought not to be discounted. Indeed, all three “no” votes came from Chicagoland lawmakers. The state’s apple and peach growers might also feel left out, as the fruits they produce make excellent pie fillings. The Senate has yet to weigh in on the official state pie bill. Time remains for fanciers of apple, peach,

cherry, blueberry, rhubarb, strawberry and other pies to press their cases. We hope bipartisan support for the state pie bill leaves such a good taste in the mouths of lawmakers that they agree to cooperate on larger measures. And cooperate they must. The upcoming state budget for Fiscal Year 2016 is expected to have a $6 billion hole that must be filled somehow – and not by pumpkins. Solving the state’s problems shouldn’t be considered pie in the sky. Illinoisans made the mess, and they must fix the mess. If lawmakers fail, we don’t believe they’ll deserve a slice of the new official state pie. Let them eat humble pie instead. Putnam County Record

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

AMBOY — The Lady Panther track team had a good showing at the Gordon Mool Invitational on April 24, according to head track coach Melissa Carlson. “The Lady Panthers had a great day at the track.

Lady Panthers drop two in Tri County By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Panthers faced off twice this week against the Ottawa Marquette Lady Crusaders and came up on the short end of the stick each time. PC loses at home Jackie Ossola was on the bump for the home team as they tried to avenge their first of the week loss against the Lady Cru on April 23. Unfortunately, she didn’t have her ‘A’ game or her team’s solid support as two errors were made in the contest. The Panthers lost 16-3. Ossola pitched two and one-third innings, giving up 10 hits, and 10 runs, all earned. She also hurled two strikeouts in the loss. C.C.

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

AMBOY — The Putnam County Panther boys track squad ran only once this week at the Gordon Mool Invitational at Amboy on April 23. The Panther runners earned top placement in track and field areas.

PC hosts annual wooden bats tournament By Dixie Schroeder

Panthers win second game of night

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

The Putnam County Panthers hosted their annual Wooden Bats tournament April 24 and 25. Teams participating included Illinois Lutheran, Mendota, Hall, Bureau Valley and Princeton high schools. Due to inclement weather, only the April 24 games were played in Spring Valley and Hennepin. In the Wooden Bats tournament, six teams are placed into two pools of three. Each team plays their opponents two times, which determines the first, third and fifth place games the following day. This year, due to a rain, the second day of games on April 25 were canceled. On April 24 at Spring Valley, Princeton High School (PHS) won 8-2 over Bureau Valley High School (BVHS.) Hall High School (HHS) beat BVHS 4-0 and then PHS 7-0. In Hennepin, Illinois Lutheran High School (ILHS) won over Mendota High School (MHS) in a slugfest 9-7. Putnam County High School (PCHS) won over ILHS in five innings, 10-0. PCHS also won over MHS 4-1 in the night cap. If the championship games would have been played, it would have seen PCHS and Hall battle for first place. Princeton and Illinois Lutheran would have played for third place. The fifth place game would have featured Bureau Valley and Mendota.

The Panthers then went on to take the second game of the tourney 4-1 from Mendota. Matt Magana went one for two, sparking the Panthers to a 4-1 victory in seven innings singling in the second inning.

Alec Veverka stopped the Mendota team cold. He threw two and one-third innings of no earned runs, walking none and striking out one. Matt Donelson earned the win for the Panthers. Donelson allowed one run over four and two-third innings. He struck out one, walked two and gave up two hits.

Panthers earn revenge on Illinois Lutheran

Austin Biagini remembered being knocked out of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) playoffs last school year. He also remembered that the team who did it to the Panthers was Illinois Lutheran. Biagini was sparkled on the mound and at the plate as he led the Panthers to an often rain delayed win 10-0. Biagini threw just 81 pitches of three hit, no run baseball for the win. He also was two for four at the plate, scoring three runs and driving in an RBI in the contest. Neal Stasell also went three for four with a double and an RBI in the game. Other RBI in the game were earned by Alec Veverka, (3); Jeff Baker and Dan Pavlovich. Three of the Panther’s runs were unearned due to errors by Illinois Lutheran.

GRANVILLE — Putnam County Rotary continues to grow in membership and strength with the addition of five new members in the past month, and several more who may be nominated for membership next month. Two members installed at the club’s Thursday, April 16, meeting are sponsored by Marquis Energy, the ethanol production plant in Hennepin which, by year’s end, is expected to be the largest such plant in the world. Andy Rowe, a production supervisor at the plant, and Dominick Bellino, an accountant in the plant’s main offices, were nominated for membership by their employer, represented by Roger Marquis who assisted in presentation of Bellino’s Rotary lapel pin while April Rowe assisted in the presentation of her husband’s pin. The Rowes are Henry natives and, after previously living in Peoria where April is employed in OSF’s accounting offices, have moved back to their hometown. Bellino is originally from Chicago and the suburbs, obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting at ISU and became employed at Marquis shortly after passing his exams as a certified public accountant.

The club has also recently installed three other members, Gloria Giosta on March 12 and Tina Bergen and Ken Troyan on March 26. Giosta was proposed for membership under the classification of “accountant,” reflecting her two associate degrees in accounting and previous employment with Mitsubishi and IBFS. Giosta’s husband, Terry, owns a technology company and Internet business in their hometown of Varna. They have five daughters ranging from 18 to 27 years old. Bergen’s membership is sponsored by the village of Granville as a village board member, to serve as the village’s representative in rotary. Proposed for membership by fellow village board member Randy Borio, Bergen is a life-long resident of Putnam County and also serves as a staff person in the Putnam County Probation Office in Hennepin. Bergen and fiancé Ed Dolder, also a Putnam County native, have two children, ages 4 and 7. Ken Troyan and his wife, Linda, recently moved back to Putnam County and to Ken’s home roots on Quaker Lane, having retired from his past occupations in the cleaning industry and as an account manag-

er for several large corporations, to open a new business chapter in his life as owner of OxyGreen Carpet Cleaning Service. Troyan was proposed for membership by Putnam County Rotary membership chair Brenda Bickerman. Each new member is proposed by a current member of rotary and is then accepted by the rotary board and club members before being installed. Each represents his or her vocation, bringing to the club greater diversity of backgrounds and interests with the common purpose of serving others through rotary projects. PC Rotary projects include serving youth and youth leadership, community service projects, vocational betterment and ethical business practices and international service through rotary’s network of more than 34,000 clubs in 168 countries, including youth exchange, clean water projects, humanitarian support and polio eradication worldwide. For more information or to become a member, contact PutnamCountyRotary@gmail.com. The club meets each Thursday for dinner and a brief meeting at Pagan O’Leary’s dining room on McCoy Street in Granville.

Learning in the lab Perry Memorial Hospital lab technician Renee Turczyn explains to Putnam County Elementary School students how a machine examines blood in the hospital’s lab. The students toured through the hospital to learn about what happens in a hospital and what education they need to enter the medical field. Students were able to talk to staff members and ask questions about health problems and medical testing to treat patients. The tour was sponsored by the Bureau-LaSalle-Marshall-Putnam County University of Illinois Extension 4-H and Youth Development program.

HUMC to give program on human trafficking HENNEPIN — Human trafficking takes place more than you might realize, sometimes in our backyard. The Hennepin United Methodist Women’s Group will sponsor a three-session informational series to teach more about human traf-

ficking and how close to home it hits. The first program was held April 22 and the final programs will be Wednesdays, May 6 and May 20, at the church. In addition, the movie “A Path Appears” will be shown in three, half-hour segments during the pro-

gram. Each week, the movie will be followed by discussion, questions and answers, more information and consideration on what actions can be taken to prevent the problem. Light refreshments will be served. The public is invited.
