Lighting a fire under drug collection Collecting for a drug disposal incinerator By Zita Henneberry Shaw Media Service
PRINCETON — The community organization firing up against drug abuse is now work-
disposal, however, the state is no longer accepting the drugs, said CPASA Director Dawn Conerton. “I think they were hoping that people could sustain; they were hoping the program would continue and sustain, and that’s what we are trying to do with the incinerator — be able to continue on our program,” Conerton said. With that state decision,

Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) is raising money to buy an incinerator, so the agency may continue to dispose of drugs in a safe and economical way. CPASA has been diligent in hosting its P2D2 program, which allows area residents to safely dispose of unused medications. Previously, all the collected drugs were sent to the state for
CPASA is working to buy its own incinerator, so it can safely dispose of the drugs the agency collects in Bureau and Putnam counties. Costing about $10,000, the drug disposal incinerator will require a community commitment in order to raise the necessary funds for its purchase. However, Conerton is pushing CPASA forward with faith in both the cause and the community.
The incinerator will allow for more collection boxes to be put out and more drugs disposed of on a regular basis, said Conerton. Collections for Bureau and Putnam counties are definite, she added, but CPASA is hoping to reach out to other areas as well. “CPASA is not going anywhere,” said Conerton. The

Reaching out with a helping hand
Putnam County Community Center’s newest face By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
STANDARD — Citizens of Putnam County will be seeing a new, enthusiastic face around the county and at the Putnam County Community Center in Standard. Tamara Beaber recently started as the center’s new outreach worker, but she’s been working towards this position for some time, as she recently received her bachelor’s degree in social work from Brescia University. Growing up in rural Princeton, she now lives in Spring Valley with her husband of 13 years and their son. “I go door-to-door or work off a list of the aging population within the county and introduce them to the center, go over the services we offer and connect them to services beneficial to them. I also do an assessment to make sure all of their needs are being met,” said Beaber. The center offers several different services and programs, including exercise classes, meals, health fairs, painting, music, cooking and more. “I really hope to pique people’s interest and bring them into the center to see all of the great opportunities we offer and how we can help them,” said Beaber. Beaber will soon start some monthly therapy groups focusing on different topics which will not only help the county’s aging citizens, but their caregivers as well.

bright colors ... and the people there displayed hope. More than 65 corporate sponsors and numerous individuals joined together to make the American Cancer Society fundraiser a success. The event exceeded its goal of $84,000, with a total of $86,169 raised as of June 14. The teams held events throughout the year to raise money, and some even had ongoing fundraisers right at their campsites. There was an extensive silent auction and

many opportunities to contribute to such a worthy cause. This year’s tropical theme, “Re-Lei for Life,” brought out colorful decorations at each campsite. More than 200 people, young and old, walked side by side to show support against a common enemy that has affected almost everyone in one way or another. Kim Chambers opened the event with some facts and comments about relay and what it does. The annual survivor speaker was Pastor Pat Jones.

Relay for Life From Page 1 from the acute lymphoblastic leukemia which has ravaged his body since Dec. of 2012. Tim Zens, also a survivor, reflected on his involvement with the relay. He joined the fight in 2011 after being diagnosed with cancer the year before. The first year, he did not have a team to participate with, but joined Team Hennepin the following year because they
were so active and had such a variety of events to support their efforts. He said he has had fun while participating and helping to raise money. Carol Sprague and her husband, Wally, brought their grandchildren who were part of the Relay for Hope team, which included 72 children. They all wore matching shirts and were joined by Elsa, Wonder Woman and Spiderman as they gathered for a group photo and answered the question, “Why do you want to be a part of Relay

for Life?” The answers varied from getting exercise to “I want to help raise money for people with cancer.” Carol expressed her desire to have her grandchildren participate, so they could meet some of the people who were fighting and have a better understanding of why they were doing all of this. The children were all invited to be a part of several fun activities in the hallway of the school. Team Zebra had an elaborate campsite and
one of the largest groups. The zebra theme was chosen because of the color of the cancer ribbon that represents neuroendocrine tumors. It is black and white and reflects the rareness of this type of cancer that is being battled by the team captain, Diane Russell. Her family and friends helped raise more
than $2,500 for their team alone. They not only continued to raise money that day with raffle baskets and other sales at their campsite, but handed out informational materials about neuroendocrine tumors. Putnam County Record copy editor Shannon Serpette also contributed to this report.

PCCC From Page 1 “In my profession, I see a lot of depression and anxiety and part of helping people is to get them involved with the community, to socialize and to laugh,” said Beaber. Burnout is a common problem with caregivers, and Beaber said there are programs in place to offer respite care and to also provide emotional help when needed.
Collection From Page 1 program and all its facets will continue the same as before, she added. The drug incinerator collection is just an extra project and will not take away from the program, she said. Since the program’s start in July 2010, CPASA has worked to keep the drugs off the streets. When the collection was last weighed in September of 2014, the program had collected about 7,235 pounds of drugs. That’s more than 7,000 pounds of drugs which have been kept off the streets, said Conerton. CPASA is currently collecting donations for the drug disposal incinerator in order to continue these collections. A fundraiser will be held Saturday, Aug. 1 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in
Beaber plans on continuing her education and obtaining her master’s degree so she’ll be able to integrate one-on-one therapy into the many different services Putnam County Community Center offers its residents. “I’m really excited to get to meet everyone in the community. I love talking to people and hearing their stories, it’s one of my favorite things to do and I want to take this position as far as I can,” said Beaber.
Tri-DENT makes major heroin bust Three Princeton residents charged with felonies By Zita Henneberry Shaw Media Service
PRINCETON — With heroin being largely recognized as the leading narcotic concern in the area, the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team (TriDENT) has made some significant arrests. Three major heroin arrests have been made of Princeton residents. “It’s a good one. It’s one we’ve been hoping we’d get on him (Gregory Hall) for a while because he’s been a problem for us,
Zearing Park. The community organization will be hosting the free event with fun for the family activities such as games and raffles. A bounce house donated by the LaMoille Methodist Church and games donated by Heartland Bank and Trust will also be present. These family activities are sure to light the flames of fun and hopefully put a fire under the incinerator collection. While the incinerator collection has just begun, donations are already underway, said Conerton. Something like this is community-geared, she added. It is for the community, about the community and from the community. After purchase, the drug disposal incinerator will be housed at the Princeton Police Department.

victed, Hall could face anywhere from four to 15 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Root explained, this is Hall’s third drug charge, so there may be an extension to Hall’s sentence due to the Illinois three strikes rule. Miceli is being held in the Bureau County Jail on a $30,000 bond while Porter has posted 10 percent of her $30,000 bond to be released from jail. Both could face one to three years in prison if convicted.

the greatest value to the operation. “Customers of Birkey’s can work with local Precision farming specialists, parts representatives and service technicians to have their new or used Case IH Early Riser planters customized to their specifications,” said Jeff Stiers, regional precision farming specialist with Birkey’s. To obtain certification, dealers must meet high standards for employee training and provide reliable service on Preci-
sion Planting equipment throughout the year. One of the most popular Precision Planting products, a cab-controlled, pneumatic cylinder residue manager attachment, can be installed on most planters regardless of brand. Growers can also choose to upgrade to Precision Planting’s electric meterdrive system which maintains prescribed seed populations on each row, even around curves, and uses as-applied maps to
prevent overlap. Another available system component can sense soil conditions and adjust hydraulic down pressure for accurate seed depth. Adding a Precision Planting 20/20 monitor and Field View app allows growers to further analyze planting information and help detect issues that may steal potential yield. Field data can be viewed on an iPad and help the farmer display trends in the field, while also acting as a useful crop scouting tool.

At this point, Hall, Miceli and Porter were arrested and transported to the Bureau County Jail where more jeweler’s bags containing purported heroin were discovered to be concealed on Porter. According to Princeton Police Chief Tom Root, the three individuals were found with around 14 to 15, 1-inch-by-1-inch baggies of heroin. “Heroin is a problem in the area,” Root said. “Absolutely one of the major drug problems in the area.” Hall’s bond was set at $100,000.

The staff at Starved Rock Lodge celebrates the unveiling of the new logo.
A new look for Starved Rock Lodge NORTH UTICA — Starved Rock Lodge & Conference Center recently unveiled a new website and a new logo. According to Lodge CEO/President Amy Trimble, “The need for a responsive website was urgent. More people are looking at our website on mobile phones and tablets so we needed an easy-to-navigate site that looked good on all platforms.” The Lodge chose a Chicago-based ad agency to take on the task of redesigning and reformatting the new look for both the lodge (www.starvedrocklodge.com) and park
sites (www.starvedrockstatepark.org). “Designing a new logo and tag line for Starved Rock is more than just creating a new brand for the business, it’s putting my signature on it, developing a strategy for the type of experience I want every customer to have when they visit the Lodge,” said Trimble. She saw the need for a new logo when she took over as the lodge’s new owner/CEO in January of this year. She had worked for the lodge as a consultant before assuming her new role as owner. “While the old logo was

Climbing the Walls About 23 years ago, I began writing “Climbing the Walls.” Reading our local paper late one night, I thought the owner needed some filler on occasions when he had space to fill. The next morning, with my typed article clutched in my hand (you have to remember technology was not as advanced as it is today), I stopped in at the news office. I handed the article to the owner and told him he could use it whenever he needed to fill space. He glanced down at the article; he then asked, “You want to call it ‘Climbing the Walls?’” I replied, “Yes, it’s been my experience that your kids will make you climb COMMENTARY the walls, but your husband will drive you up the wall.” That was the first of his big, booming laughs I would hear throughout the almost five years I wrote the column. I stopped writing because my life was busy with working full time, serving on the Henry City Council, raising nine kids and renovating our Victorian house. Now retired, I babysit with grandchildren and am still working on the old house. Built in 1868, the house has approximately 4,000 square feet, counting the former servant’s quarters in the basement. The house looked good back in 2005 after I had fixed up the main rooms on the first floor. I was probably in the best shape in years, too, after all of that physical labor. Now, at the age of 68, I’m beginning to notice the pull of gravity is greater than ever in my lifetime. So many things seem to be sagging — my favorite chair, my bed and my skin. If someone waves to me and I wave back, the skin on my arms is flapping in the breeze like clothes on a clothesline. Not that I’m complaining; I just have to be careful and not wave too hard or else I will probably suffer a blow to the face. I rocked all of my babies for their naps and have continued to do so with our grandchildren. Our youngest grandchild, 2-year-old Kacey, enjoys singing along with me as we rock. We sang Christmas songs in the fall and winter. I began to realize that we needed to add to our song list with non-holiday songs. One day while Kacey and I were waiting at the grade school to pick up her cousins, Landon and Maddy, Someone’s in the Kitchen was making a delivery at a house nearby. That made me think of that old tune so I began singing it. She loved it so I began singing it again when all three kids and I were heading out of the school’s parking lot. The kids kept telling me to sing it again. So I did, belting it loud and clear so they could learn some of the words. Traffic was crawling in the parking lot and also the street after leaving the school. I had to stop and wait for kids to cross, and parents were walking slow on the sidewalk, too. Halfway down the block, I remembered that I had my front windows rolled down partway. There is no doubt that my booming voice was heard by many. Kacey now knows “God Bless America,” “Dixie” and a few other old songs. I was so surprised how fast she began singing them. There are two songs, however, I won’t be teaching her: “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” and “Roll Out the Barrel.” Tami McCracken Crawley is a mother of nine and avid quilter living in Henry.

Field of Dreams April 30, 1967, Earl J. Buhn, Moews Seed Co. retired general sales manager, published the history of the Moews Seed Company in Granville titled “The Founding and Growth of the Moews Seed Co.” He wrote this, “’Bernhardt’ Ben E. Moews, founder of the Moews Seed Company, was born on the family farm near Granville, Illinois. This farm was home to him throughout his lifetime. He received his formal education in the local schools and at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. Ben possessed an inquisitive and progressive mind. He kept studying as long as he lived. Ben was an innovator. He became interested in hybrid corn while at Ames. After college, Ben returned to the farm and began working with hybrid corn. The family garden served as his first research plot. His mother’s kitchen stove supplied the heat to dry the few ears of hybrid corn he harvested. “The old, once popular U.S. 44 was originally produced here. The inbred M14, widely used in the United States and foreign countries was developed on the Moews farm. The Moews family farm became the home of the Moews Seed company. The home offices and the company is one of the reasons that Highway 89 is where it is, rather than a mile west of its present location. The first Moews Seed corn was sold in 1928. “In those days it was known as Moews Illini Super Corn. The first varieties were open pedigreed
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY
hybrids. Ben Moews’ neighbors were his first customers. They bought a bushel or two of the new seed corn. ... All shapes and sizes of seed corn kernels were in one bag. A severe drought in the early 1930s proved the value of the hybrid seed corn. The farmers who planted only their own open pollinated seed corn had complete crop failures. Neighbors who planted some hybrid seed corn during those dry years harvested 10, 20, 30 bushels per acre. “Most of the early Moews dealers were farmers. Ben Moews was a strong believer in quality. He possessed a high sense of integrity. He carried on a intensive program of plant breeding. He also required integrity and quality in the people associated with him. In 1934, 1936, 1937, three men who are still associated with Moews joined the organization. William “Vince” Ploplis, James Tonarelli and Robert Kidd. The first two worked in all phases of the plant operations and production of Moews Seed Corn. Bob started in the transportation division. He delivered seed corn to dealers in Illinois and Iowa. He has been a dealer, a district manager and has worked in plant breeding. At the present, he is in charge of the production of seeds
at the home plant. At one time four son-in-laws, a son, Ralph, and two daughters of Charlie Gallcher worked for Moews. “Ben Moews placed his own line of pedigree seed corn hybrids into the Illinois Yield Trials in 1938. Moews’ varieties topped the yields in every plot they were planted in. The news spread and sales of Moews Seed Corn expanded rapidly. Thomas Machetle and Earl J. Buhn joined the Moews Company. Between 1944 and 1950, sales territories were established throughout the entire state of Iowa, northern Missouri, eastern Nebraska, parts of South Dakota, southern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. More modern sorting, drying research, warehousing facilities were added in the 1940s. In 1950 the Corn Belt Hybrid Company in Boswell, Ind., was purchased. Later the Moews Seed Company started a third plant in Perry, Iowa. “Dec. 29, 1950, was a sad day for the Moews Seed Company. Ben Moews died, following surgery. He provided for his wife, Gladys, and his small daughter, Bettina, by establishing trusts for them. March, 1951, Bob Huey, a friend of Ben’s, was hired as general manager of the Moews Seed Company. The present 1966-67 sales year will be Moews’ largest. The three plants at Boswell, Ind., the home plant at Granville and the new plant at Perry, Iowa, makes it possible to serve the cornbelt farmers well. Moews customers and companies themselves, have every right to be proud.”
Considerations by Nedda Lesser than ... I have been reminded all my life how short I am. When I was little, I thought maybe it was a flaw, and I would worry about it. My Dad told me to decide whether this “shortness” would ruin or diminish my life, then move on with things I needed to get done and things I wanted to do. Of course, I have some limitations, but since my family had a great sense of humor, I learned to go along and have fun with my height. I will have to say, that when people
Nedda Simon COMMENTARY
tell me I’m short, sometimes I want to say, “Duh ... you think?” We can really limit our chances to live a full life if we think about the things we can’t do. I find inspiration when I see other’s so limited doing great things, and you all know some yourselves.
It reminds us to not focus on what we can’t do now and look at what we have to work with to accomplish things. It can certainly remove the bitterness and sadness that comes along with feeling defeated. Of course, we have to mourn our losing some abilities we had, but we can make the most of the situation and be grateful we have many capacities left. There is research that backs the fact if we do just that, we get better in every aspect of our lives. Nedda Simon of rural Princeton can be reached at neddasimon@ ymail.com.
TO Letter THE Editor
Honoring veterans To the Editor, Each year on June 14 we celebrate Flag Day in honor of the 1777 adoption of the American flag. The American flag represents many things to many people, including patriotism, freedom, liberty, fairness and hope. As a veteran myself, I believe the American flag also represents sacrifice — specifically the sacrifice that our military veterans have made to ensure the United States of America remains the greatest country on earth. Our service men and women deserve our respect, appreciation and gratitude. Nothing pleases me more than giving back to our military veterans. That is why I am pleased to highlight a law that takes effect July 1, 2015, which will allow U.S. military veterans to obtain a driver’s license or ID card marked VETERAN. Veterans who have received an Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions discharge qualify. The process is simple. Veterans must first obtain official certification from the Illinois Department
Letters policy Letters to the Editor should not be more than 500 words in length. Only one person can sign a Letter to the Editor.

For more information, please contact the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs at 800-437-9824 or visit www.illinois. gov/veterans. Once the necessary certification is obtained from an Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs office, the veteran may apply for a new, renewal or corrected driver’s license or ID card at any Secretary of State Driver Service’s facility. The driv-

I had the honor of serving as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division and as a member of the Illinois National Guard and Reserve. There is no greater honor than serving your country, and our veterans can now proudly display their service on their driver’s license or ID card, which will help them receive the services and benefits they richly deserve.

DAR holds closing meeting for 2014-15 PRINCETON — The closing meeting of the 201415 chapter year of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter NSDAR occurred June 6 at the Bureau County Republican meeting room. Flags were given to members in commemoration of Flag Day on June 14. Dixie and Audrey Nichols were welcomed into the chapter by registrar Eva Blanco. A folder of DAR information plus a flag and a rose were given to the two new members following their membership ceremony. Two other women were accepted as prospective members. Vietnam War Commemoration chairman Beverly Larson reported attending the Memorial Day ceremonies honoring Vietnam-era veterans and all other veterans at Mt. Bloom Cemetery in Tiskilwa. Also in attendance was Fran Ary, a Princeton DAR member. A Vietnam War proclamation was read and pins were awarded to the veterans. These items were from the Vietnam War Commemoration commission partnered by the Princeton chapter.

The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of (815)925-7223 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl. To determine Hennepin's susceptibility to groundwater contamination, the Illinois Rural Water Association conducted a well site survey in October, 2002. Based on the information obtained in this document, there are 13 potential sources of groundwater contamination that could pose a hazard to groundwater utilized by Hennepin's community water supply. These include 1 chemical handling facility, 1 manufacturing process, 1 boat yard, 1 sales store, 2 onsite sludge disposals, 2 injection wells, 2 water treatment plants, and 3 above ground fuel storage tanks. In addition, information provided by the Leaking Underground Storage Tank and Remedial Project Management Sections of the Illinois EPA indicated sites with on-going remediation that might be of concern.According to the Hennepin PWD facility, LTV Steel Co. and the associated injection well and water treatment plant have been sold to the International Steel Group. However, the sludge disposal associated with this site is no longer active.Based upon this information, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Hennepin Community Water Supply's source water is susceptible to contamination. As such, the Illinois EPA has provided 5-year recharge area calculations for the wells. The land use within the recharge areas of the wells was analyzed as part of this susceptibility determination. This land use includes residential, commercial and agricultural properties.In 2010, Hennepin PWD received Non-Compliance Advisories (NCAs) for bacteriological detections in wells #3 and #5 and subsequently a violation notice (VN) for well #5. Resolution of this NCA and the VN resulted in a Compliance Commitment Agreement (CCA) with the Illinois EPA, in that well #5 no longer being used as a potable water source. Well #3 was inspected by an engineering company and the NCA has now been resolved, however monitoring data is continually being tracked in regards to all active potable wells at Hennepin PWD.

Character descriptions Vivian Snustad A 60-70 year old widow. She is the most conservative of the ladies and the matriarch of the kitchen. She is the one who makes sure the food tastes good
er disheveled even when dressed up for a wedding. She is somewhat butch.
before leaving the kitchen and she is the one who washes the dishes. Her duties are well defined, by her. She sits at the center work table on a stool, almost a throne, where she commands the work of the day. Her word is not to be tested and her decisions are final. Karin Engelson She is 40-45 years old and is second in line to take over the kitchen. Her cooking is fabulous. She is neat and tidy in appearance and quite pretty in a very conservative way, similar to Jackie Kennedy. She senses the world is about to change because she listens to her daughter, Singe, who without her influence on Karin’s life might be as rigid as Snustad. Mavis Gilmerson She is her late 50s and is a farmer’s wife and grandmother. She is not afraid of work and can fix anything mechanical as well as do the books. She is the most physical comedienne of the three ladies because of her jump in and work attitude. She appears rath-
Singe Karin’s daughter who has just started college at the University of Minnesota. She comes home to visit often and loves working with her mother in the kitchen. She is 18 or 19 years old and ready to make her mark in the world. She represents change. Not only the change the church was going through in 1965, but the change the country was beginning to go through at that tie. She would never really become a hippie, but she will like the styles once they are introduced at Sears in Minneapolis. She is pretty like her mother and very sweet but not afraid to challenge Snustad and speak her mind in a respectful way. Pastor E.L. Gunderson He is the same age as Karin, but he just married a young wife. He is goaded by the fact he comes from a family of pastors and his brother, no he, inherited his father’s church down the road. He is a bit competitive and finds he can truly relax in the kitchen. He has a very friendly and intimate relationship with God and he knows the church runs the best when the kitchen is happy.
Free concert during Celebrate LaSalle LASALLE — The LaSalle Public Library and the LaSalle City Park District are announcing a free concert by The Legacy Girls at Rotary Park during the Celebrate LaSalle festivities on Saturday, June 27, beginning at noon. Nancy Baumet, Renee Hein and Dia Madden formed The Legacy Girls in 2006 with their production of “American Wartime
Sweethearts: The Andrews Sisters.” The trio performs a delightfully entertaining tribute to the music that uplifted and unified our nation through the darkest hours of World War II. The Legacy Girls performance is one in a series of six programs hosted by the LaSalle Public Library marking the 70th commemoration of the end of World War II. From
May through August, the library will offer program topics that will both entertain and inform, about a time and the people who played such a significant role in defining who we are as Americans. Rotary Park is located just off of East Fifth Road, north of Route 6. The park is visible from Interstate 39. The program is open to the public.
Kids Can receives award OTTAWA — Kids Can at LaSalle County Easter Seal Center, a preschool in Ottawa, received the Silver Circle of Quality designation from ExceleRate Illinois, the state’s new quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development providers. “Every early learning and development provider who participates in ExceleRate Illinois makes quality a priority,” said Theresa
Hawley, executive director, Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development. “The higher the designation, the higher the program’s demonstrated quality and comprehensiveness in meeting children’s early learning needs.” “We are proud to receive the Silver Circle of Quality,” said Tara Ohlendorf, Kids Can at LaSalle Co. Easter Seal Center. “Providing quality in early learning and development
