Reconstruction work moving along on $25 million I-180 bridge project Half of interstate bridge closed this year, half next year
the third year. Civil Constructors Inc. of Freeport submitted the lowest of three bids
for complete bridge deck replacement, pavement restructuring and replacement of the approach.
BY CRAIG STERRETT Shaw Media HENNEPIN — Work is moving along quickly on the $25 million reconstruction of bridge deck that carries Interstate 180 traffic high above the Illinois River between Putnam County and Bureau County. But that doesn’t mean the project will be over soon. Crews have been making repairs on the half-century-old I-180 bridge sporadically for the past several years, and now pretty much all but the supports needs to be rebuilt. Nate Sell, construction field engineer for IDOT, noted this winter that the project will last three years, though motorists will see the biggest effects in 2020 and 2021. All four lanes share the supports and piers. This year, the crew is rebuilding the eastbound (south) half, and next year, workers will rebuild the westbound (north) half.

CORONAVIRUS AND ILLINOIS
Some parks will reopen gradually, but not Starved Rock Pritzker: Masks should be worn by all in public BY CRAIG STERRETT Shaw Media G ov. J. B . P r i t z ke r s a i d t h e state would allow for the gradual reopening of state parks and Illinois Department of Natural Resources properties beginning May 1, but it does not include one of the crown jewels of the state park system. Large, popular state parks such as Starved Rock State Park were not mentioned among those that will reopen and be phased back in by May 1 as Pritzker announced new and modified stay-at-home and social distancing orders.

The IDNR posted a list of parks that g radually would reopen be ginning May 1, and Starved Rock is not on it. Pritzker did make things clear as he mentioned the gradual reopening of certain things across the state, such as golf courses with many restrictions on May 1. For one, COVID-19 spread is not at its peak. Second, people should continue physical distancing, and masks should be worn by all, including children older than 2, in public places where social distancing is difficult. Third, the governor can order sites and sectors closed if people abuse their freedoms and spread the disease. “If I start to see crowds,” Pritzker said, “I will need to bring back these restrictions.”

Bureau-Putnam-Marshall health chief recovers from virus, returns to work
Congress should provide relief to beneficial nonprofits like the Alzheimer’s Association
Members of Better Fishing Association of Northern Illinois want to teach children how to fish, how to tie knots and a little bit about the environment around them and safety in the outdoors. But area youngsters will miss out on a oneday educational and recreational experience put on by the BFA, Department of Natural Resources and other helpers this May. “The Better Fishing Association members, after conferring by telephone, have agreed that it is not possible to run our Baker Lake Fishing Expo that had been scheduled for May 16, 2020,” BFA President Barry Welbers stated. “The restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 virus are the cause. As a group, we are disappointed. We plan to restore the program in 2021.” At this time, the BFA members still hope to run the Lock 14 fishing tournament on June 6 at LaSalle. “We will be closely following the progress of our battle with the virus and the health safety regulations that are in place as the time approaches,” Welbers wrote in an email on April 17.
Hector Gomez, administrative director of the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments, has recovered from symptoms related to COVID-19, and he returned to his duties at the health department on April 27. Gomez is one of nine Bureau County residents to have tested positive for COVID-19 and one of seven who has recovered. Hector “I am glad that my experience Gomez with COVID-19 is behind me. Administrative Hopefully, the lesson for the director, Bureau, Putnam public from all of this is that COVID-19 is in our community and Marshall County Health and it is possible to contract it Departments just from casual encounters in public,” Gomez said. “I encourage everyone to follow the guidance about staying at home and, when they must go out, wear masks whenever they are anywhere in public that physical distancing may not be possible. I am relatively young and in overall good health, and one thing I know for certain is that I don’t want to go through COVID-19 again.”
As a volunteer advocate, the Alzheimer’s Association is important to me because it is a way to help people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. My mother, Grace Whitten, suffered from vascular dementia, which eventually took her from us in September of 2018. She lived with us for 3 1/2 years, and there was very little support and education for family members trying to help our loved ones navigate through such a difficult time. The Alzheimer’s Association has been instrumental in passing legislation to help families like mine. With that being said, I understand many nonprofit organizations, including the Alzheimer’s Association, have been severely financially impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have not been included in a relief package by the federal government. Therefore, I am asking that my representative, Adam Kinzinger, expand nonprofit access to credit to support nonprofit employers with between 500 and 10,000 employees in the next COVID-19 relief package. I can’t imagine another family having to face challenges due to Alzheimer’s or a related dementia without having the support, programs and resources of the Alzheimer’s Association, like my family experienced. To continue our fight to end Alzheimer’s, our nation’s most expensive and devastating disease, please join me in encouraging Congressman Kinzinger to consider the millions of Illinois families that depend on nonprofits like the Alzheimer’s Association.

OGLESBY
BIRTH ANNOUNCED
Dr. Matthew Johll wins teacher excellence award OGLESBY — Longtime Illinois Valley Community College chemistry instructor and textbook author Dr. Matthew Johll of Granville recently won Illinois Valley Community College’s 2020 Stephen Charry Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence. Known affectionately to students as “Doc Johll,” he has been the college’s Chem Club adviser all 16 of his years at the college. Under his leadership, the club has consistently earned “Outstanding” designations from the American Chemical Society. By introducing case studies, Johll’s textbooks have changed the way introductory chemistry courses are taught. He also successfully blends the science from crime scenes into his curriculum. A frequent presenter at national conferences, Johll is renowned for his ability to help students understand the relevancy of chemistry in their lives. His presentations have included: • Turning to Crime: Using case studies to teach chemistry; • Real Crimes, Real Chemistry: True cases that feature the analysis
of physical evidence by forensic chemists; and • The good, the bad and the ugly: Using the chemistry found in movies, television programs, newspaper stories and the internet for class discussions. Outside IVCC, Johll is a forensic chemistry consultant currently working with the LaSalle County coroner to identify a victim in a 1991 cold case. He is also working with a criminal case review commission in Birmingham, England, on an appeal for what Johll believes is a woman unjustly convicted by poor scientific analysis of evidence. He was part of a BBC documentary on a similar case in Glasgow, Scotland, where a nurse was wrongly convicted of murdering five patients. Johll earned the Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Iowa State University and the bachelor’s in chemistry (magna cum laude) from the University of Wisconsin at Platteville. In 2011, UW Platteville named him Outstanding Educator/Researcher for the Engineering, Mathematics and Science Alumni Chapter.
Thank You! Bill Lenkaitis and family would like to thank everyone for their prayers, phone calls, well wishes, cards, and all the support provided during this very difficult time! A very special thank you goes to Bill and Debbie, and Brian and Karyn for always being there for us! As well, thank you to Roger for plowing the snow all winter. Bill is continuing his recovery at home. Thank you all, we are truly blessed!

In response to the prevention of the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Putnam County Community Center is closed to the public until further notice.
Do you have a Revolutionary patriot in your family tree?
HENRY — The Chief Senachwine Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is kicking off its spring membership drive by sharing information to help women find an answer to the question posed in the title of this article. Go to www.dar.org and click on “Membership.” There you will find helpful instructions, advice on finding your lineage, and a Prospective Member Information Request Form. Another option is to call 202879-3224 for more information on joining this vital, service-minded organization.

Who is eligible for membership? Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.

Online summer sessions begin May 18 and June 10 flexibility — they can be completed while students juggle family, work and other obligations — and significant savings. “Classes are much more affordable at IVCC than they are at a university.

OGLESBY — Students can get ahead with one of more than 175 summer section courses offered online at Illinois Valley Community College beginning May 18 and June 10. “Students who take summer courses are more likely to graduate from their university than classmates who do not,” said IVCC Director of Admissions Quintin Overocker. “This is especially true for students in demanding majors,” he said, adding, “Summer’s also a great time to knock off prerequisites toward a bachelor’s degree.” IVCC’s online classes offer both
human growth and development, anthropology, environment, business, criminal justice, computer systems, macroeconomics, English composition, film, weather and climate, geography, women in ancient cultures, wellness, health, children’s literature, math for liberal arts, elementary statistics, government, psychology, child growth and development and sociology. The first eight-week session is May 18 to July 8; the second June 10 to Aug. 6. Visit www.ivcc.edu/onlinesummer. Call 815-224-0447 to register or 815-224-0360 for counseling.
