Potholes filled by stopgap Transportation funding provided for whole year By Dave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — At the Monday, July 11, meeting of the

Putnam County Board, Putnam County Highway Department engineer Pat Sloan was able to report the good news that transportation funding for the full year will be provided through the recent stopgap budget measure. “We’re set for the whole year and all the MFT (motor fuel tax) work is going,” Sloan said.

Some minor work on Timberline Drive has been done in an attempt to improve road conditions, but it was acknowledged by board members it has been neglected for too long. It was determined the road is the responsibility of the township, since it’s collecting the motor fuel taxes for the it, and the village is unwilling to annex the

area. Sloan recommended to residents at the meeting they attend township meetings in the future to stay informed of future roadwork plans. County EMA coordinator Robert Cofoid reported the simulated anthrax exercise on June 15 was a success, and also the emergency system worked well during the recent severe

weather. The board approved the county insurance renewal proposal; the Fish ‘n Fun request to sell liquor at the annual pancake breakfast on Aug. 7; the appointment of Bart Whitney as the trustee for the McNabb Fire Protection District; and the certified lists of candidates to serve as election judges.

Slamming down the scam Illinois sheriffs warn residents of phone scam By Eric Engel

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

Per the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association (ISA), area residents are encouraged to steer clear of phone scammers falsely claiming to be part of the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association. According to a press release, there is currently a fraudulent phone campaign underway in area counties that uses the ISA Vol. 148 No. 47 One Section - 16 Pages

in their solicitation, claiming of opportunities “too good to be true” and asking individuals to “act immediately.” The press release emphasized the ISA never solicits by phone but does conduct a direct email campaign throughout the state endorsed by individual sheriffs’ offices. The release states: “Telemarketing fraud costs billions of dollars each year, and if you have any doubts or feel highly pressured by the caller, just hang up.” All residents have the right to ask the following information from a caller soliciting

funds: • The name, address and phone number of the organization for which they are soliciting. • The name, address and phone number of the telemarketing firm. • The percentage of every dollar paid to the telemarketing firm. • Insist on something in writing prior to making a pledge or commitment. “If you cannot get the answers to these questions do not hesitate to hang up the phone. After all, it’s your money.”

Although there are some legitimate organizations that use telemarketers for their fundraising efforts, the sheriffs of Illinois — through the ISA — are adamantly opposed to police groups and associations using telemarketing to promote monetary donations. Should you receive a call from someone saying they represent your local sheriff or the ISA and are asking for donations, gather as much information as you can from the caller and report it to the ISA at ISA@ilsheriff.org; or by contacting your local sheriff’s office.

GRANVILLE — Those in education breathed a sigh of relief when Springfield politicians managed to cooperate to pass the stopgap budget legislation (SB2047) which will ensure schools across the state will be able to open their doors when summer vacation comes to an end. Carl Carlson, the new superintendent for the Putnam County School District and Jerry Corcoran, president of IVCC, recently discussed their thoughts on the stopgap budget. “The uncertainty of state finances has been one of the biggest fears for anyone in district leadership positions. My thoughts on the stopgap budget remain mixed, as I will proceed with cautious optimism. The benefit right now is local districts can now move forward to open their doors this year. The issue that remains is the state needs to evaluate and develop a research based change to a broken funding formula moving forward. Obviously, past practice has not been successful,” Carlson said. Corcoran said, “The good news is the Monetary Award Program (MAP) ended up being fully funded for all of last fiscal year. As you may recall, IVCC agreed early on to credit accounts for eligible students for both the fall and spring semesters — a $500,000 commitment to do everything we could to stand for those who most need our help. It looked like we would be on the hook for at least our spring semester commitment until the last day of the fiscal year when the stopgap budget was approved, and IVCC was made whole for the full year. Unfortunately, we have no assurances that the state will end up covering these obligations in the new fiscal year.”

IDPH recognizes St. Margaret’s for stroke care

SPRING VALLEY — The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has recently informed St. Margaret’s it is now recognized as an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital within the state of Illinois. According to the Illinois Hospital Association (IHA), in May 2009 the General Assembly unanimously approved legislation allowing the creation of stroke systems of care in Illinois. Illinois’ landmark stroke law helps ensure that stroke patients receive the right care at the right time in the most appropriate setting by identifying hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directing EMS providers to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals. Following the recommendation of the IHA Board of Trustees, IHA staff successfully worked with the American Heart/Stroke Association, the Illinois Department of Public Health, EMS providers, and others, to incorporate member recommendations into the public act and the ensuing regulations. In January 2014, IDPH released the hospital stroke center designation form, allowing hospitals to voluntarily pursue stroke center designation. “We have implemented a multidisci-

plinary approach to the care of stroke patients that is based upon the latest evidence-based guidelines and follows the American Stroke Association guidelines for best practice,” explains Jolene Woitynek, director of Critical Care Services. “This approach follows the patient from early detection of stroke symptoms to rapid diagnostics and treatment if a stroke is confirmed. This process for the care of stroke patients is consistent throughout our facility. Whether the patient is in the emergency department or on the inpatient unit, the level of care and response by the staff remains the same.” The IHA also points out Emergent Stroke Ready Hospitals must annually attest to IDPH their continued compliance with criteria outlined in the statute and the regulation. “The ultimate goal of our stroke program at St. Margaret’s,” continued Woitynek, “is to provide rapid assessment and treatment of patients experiencing stroke-like symptoms, in order to give them the best possible outcome. We are honored by this designation from IDPH, and pleased to join this network of quality care hospitals.” For more information about St. Margaret’s Health, visit www.aboutsmh.org.

While there are many funding issues yet to be dealt with in Springfield, Carlson and Corcoran spoke of the educational funding provided by the stopgap deal. “Currently, Putnam County does not rely heavily on the general state aid. However, we do receive a nominal amount in this category ... Our district does rely heavily on the Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax (CPPRT). The initial numbers indicate our district might qualify for additional funds this coming year in that category. As the new superintendent, one of my main goals is to remain fiscally responsible to the Putnam County taxpayers. Once the final numbers come through from the state pertaining to our schools, I will have the opportunity to closely examine all in full detail. I will then be able to share clearly where our district will stand. Initially, it appears to be a plus

for everyone, so long as the state stands behind their end of things,” Carlson said. At this point, while any funding received from the state is viewed positively, Corcoran discussed the ongoing funding deficiencies at IVCC. “The bad news is IVCC received only 27 percent of what was budgeted in the way of state support for operations in Fiscal Year 2016 (a $1.5 million shortfall), and it’s beginning to look like all we can hope for in Fiscal 2017 is a 50 percent cut in what we had been using for planning-assumption purposes,” Corcoran said. While the stopgap budget provided urgent funding measures for schools and other service providers across the state, the measure is still temporary and funding issues will continue to need to be addressed by the state. Carlson and Corcoran both spoke of what they hope to see from Springfield in the coming months. “My hope is that once the November election results are final, the state of Illi-

Rezin appointed to bipartisan commission to reform school funding formula State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Peru) will serve on the Illinois School Funding Reform Commission, after being appointed by Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno (R-Lemont). The commission is tasked with recommending a comprehensive solution to reform Illinois’ school funding formula. Gov. Bruce Rauner first made the announcement of the new commission in Chicago July 12. “Illinois’ education funding formula is flawed and in need of serious reform,” Rezin said. “Ensuring schools in the 38th Senate District are always properly funded and the school funding formula is equitable across the state is critical. Education funding has been a top issue of mine since I took office. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate from both sides of the aisle and the administration. We need to work together to craft a solution that makes

the state’s funding formula work well and makes every student a priority.” Rezin previously served as a member of the bipartisan Education Funding Advisory Committee (EFAC) and currently serves as a member of the Illinois Senate Education Committee. “The earlier we can fix the funding formula, the better,” Rezin said. “By working in a bipartisan fashion, I am confident we can find a solution that the education community will deem fair and one that will help students reach their potential in the classroom.” The commission will be composed of five designees from the administration and five members from each of the legislative caucuses. Secretary of Education Beth Purvis will chair the commission. The commission’s report is due to the governor and general assembly by Feb. 1, 2017. Rezin said the goal is to have the General Assembly take action on a proposal in 2017.

Health department releases inspection 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 operations. 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 violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks. All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be

seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

nois will return to a model that prioritizes the needs of community colleges — of all the post-secondary education options that are available today, community colleges are the engines of economic opportunity and clearly the best return on investment for the student, state and property taxpayer,” Corcoran said. Carlson said, “The funding formula for schools needs review and change. The other concern is this increased funding to schools and other state programs requires getting the funds, but from where? Any budget is fragile and needs to be a fluid process. The good news right now is the elected officials listened to the pressure from their represented groups. Hopefully, this momentum continues in the same positive fashion for the sake of everyone across the state of Illinois. This will be something that every district administrator, local school board and communities should keep an eye on. I will closely monitor and share updates to the Putnam County communities.”

UIS professor to relocate endangered birds to Illinois near Lake Shelbyville and the other near Canton, along the Illinois River. “Biological diversity is important to the long-term well-being of human health and communities,” said Ting. “Efforts to recover threatened or endangered species, such as ospreys in Illinois, are necessary to keep biodiversity strong, so that future generations can benefit from these wonderful creatures.” Establishing a self-sustaining breeding population of ospreys in Illinois is one of the goals of a multi-year U.S. Fish and Wildlife grant awarded to Ting through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The objective is to re-establish ospreys in Illinois where they are listed as endan-

SPRINGFIELD – TihFen Ting, associate professor of environmental studies at the University of Illinois Springfield, will translocate 10, 6-week-old ospreys, an endangered fish eating bird of prey, from Virginia to Illinois thanks to the help of the Illinois Audubon Society. The society is contributing $3,000 to transport the birds by plane in collaboration with the aviation program at Southern Illinois University. The birds were flown into the Decatur Airport on July 6, and were processed and tagged the following day at the Illinois Raptor Center, 5695 W. Hill Road, Decatur. Later in the day, the birds were released at two sites, one

gered. “We’re happy to help with this important project. This gift, I believe, will make our members proud, plus have potential to educate many more people regarding our effort to bring back this tremendous bird of prey,” said Tom Clay, executive director of Illinois Audubon Society. Since 2013, Ting and a group of UIS students and research personnel, in collaboration with IDNR, have helped to successfully translocate and fledge 24 young ospreys from the Chesapeake Bay area. The researchers have been feeding, observing and tending to the translocated osprey chicks at Anderson Lake, near Havana, and at Lake Shelbyville.

A third site called Banner Marsh, near Canton, was added this year. Although ospreys have a wide range of distribution in North America, the birds rarely breed in Illinois and are considered vulnerable to climate change. According to the National Audubon Society’s climate model, by 2080 ospreys are projected to lose 79 percent of their current summer range, particularly in coastal areas. “Through translocating young birds, we can help with ospreys’ range expansion into inland lakes or rivers in Illinois,” said Ting.

Terri Those hankies Simon belonging to my grandma got me COMMENTARY also thinking about my grandpa and something he never left home without ... any guesses what that would be? Any farmer of any merit had one. Without exception, they carried it in the front pocket of their overalls or jeans. It went everywhere they went, and it always got switched from one pair of overalls to the next without hesitation. It was as important to the men of the ‘50s and ‘60s as their wallets and their keys. Grandpa’s pocket knife was worn. I’m not sure what the outside was made of — ivory would have been too pretentious and costly for a frugal farmer, but the outside wasn’t what mattered. The blades inside that knife were what separated the men from the boys, and if I remember correctly, I was cautioned way too many times about the possibility of losing fingers if I ever thought I wanted to play with this gadget. Consequently, I spent my childhood gazing at this powerful tool that was so sharp and so dangerous that it scared me to death. What made matters worse was that Grandpa used his pocket knife daily, and every time I watched him pull it from his pocket, I remember cringing a bit and taking a step or two back — almost sure that pocket knife was going to jump out of his hands and cut me to shreds. Back then, Grandpa used his pocket knife to cut a piece of twine to the size he needed; he’d carefully dig out a splinter in the tip of his finger with the point of one of the blades, opening a box or a letter was a breeze with those sharp blades; cutting an apple — slice by slice — and sharing it with me seemed really cool; and sharpening a stick to a point (not sure why he needed to do that) was easy. Nobody ever thought of using it as a weapon. Little girls didn’t have pocket knives, but I don’t mind telling you there was some deep, dark part of me that wanted one. I remember playing some game at the fair, and the prize I won was either a plastic cigarette box or a cheap pocket knife ... I was forced to take the cigarette box because clearly, a pocket knife in my hands was a disaster waiting to happen. They were probably right. Nevertheless, getting one’s own pocket knife was a rite of passage for a boy — it was like the first time he held his own pocket knife in his hands he would automatically become a man. I remember when my Uncle Greg, who was eight years older than me, got his own pocket knife. It wasn’t fancy, and it didn’t come from Switzerland. Instead, I think it was a Boy Scout knife. I was very jealous, but I knew deep down he would probably cut off a finger or two before he actually learned the ropes of how to properly use it. I’d watch him take it out of his pocket — he was probably all of 12 or 13 years old — and I can still hear how the blades would click as he closed them. I always expected to see blood when he did so. In a drawer in our kitchen, there was an old, small pocket knife, mixed in with some string, some labels from dog food cans and all the other stuff that nobody knew what to do with. The biggest blade had a nick out of it, and I doubt the blades were sharp enough to cut anything. Once I put it in my pocket and carried it around for a while, but just the idea of a knife in my pocket caused me to stick it back in the drawer and pretend it had never happened. While pocket knives aren’t so prevalent today — probably because of airport security and other issues of safety, there’s still something about a fellow with a pocket knife in his pocket that fascinates me ... and ultimately reminds me of a place in time when carrying a pocket knife was more important than using it.

Observations from The Field of Dreams This is an article about Barb (Cowan) Griffith’s life. She was one of the few people I knew that all you had to say was Barb did this or that, and everyone who knew her in the community would know you were talking about Barb Griffith without saying her last name. When Barb put on a party, a golf tournament, a fundraiser, etc., everyone turned out. She just had that great touch about her that made you feel you needed to be there. Everyone tells stories about the wooden table in her kitchen, where so many of us enjoyed ourselves. Barb was born on June 30, 1945, and she passed away on March 11, 2016. Her funeral was held at Friend’s Meeting House in McNabb. The celebrant was Richard Ashdown. Brooks Whitney gave her eulogy. He started out by saying, “Today we are celebrating the life of Barbara Cowan Griffith. She was born to Robert Fort Cowan and Caryl Cowan. She will always be remembered as a beloved wife, a caring mother and grandmother, a sister, an aunt and a good friend. I remember the first time I met Barb. She had a date with my friend, Lynn Griffith. I know Lynn was smitten by her. Barb was gorgeous, energetic and nice to be with. She and Lynn were married in 1966. They soon had two children, Trent and Laura. The last time I talked to Barb was at a gathering, and as she was leaving, I walked her to the car. She expressed to me how proud she was of her family. She worked beside Lynn and supported him at the Griffith Seed Co. Barb served on many business organizations. She was a board member of the Farmers State Bank in McNabb, the Peoria Journal Star Advisory Board, the Upper River Development Authority. Barb was very generous with her time and

Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY monetary support of many charitable organizations, many times providing anonymous support. At the funeral, Laurie Glenn said Barb lived in a country home on a hill. She had a well used wooden table in the kitchen. She was a beautiful woman with a big smile, sparkling eyes, a warm hug and so many wonderful memories. Barbara’s oldest grandchild stood up and said she wanted to share the things that her beloved, incredible grandmother taught her in the 21 years they were lucky enough to share. “I would go on forever about all the things Granny taught me, every way she has inspired me, but these are the ones that make me smile the most. While she was a fiercely passionate and ambitious person, she was also the life of the party and lit up a room,” her grandchild said. “She made so many people smile and laugh in her life. I hope this list of 15 things about my Granny will help us smile until we meet again.” No. 1: Honesty is usually best, but also the 11th Commandment is thou shalt never get caught. (Granny just wanted people to be honorable and tactful at the same time.) No. 2: It is better to arrive late than to arrive ugly. No. 3: There are not many things better than a good pair of shoes, but they aren’t good if they hurt you. If you can’t walk by the end of the night, they probably aren’t cute enough. No. 4: Fearlessness: I would not have had the courage to get Lasik or

drive after I was in a car accident or been so goal oriented without her teaching me not to be scared. No. 5: Chipped nail polish is unacceptable. No. 6: Don’t crack your knuckles. She was convinced it gave her the arthritis in her hands. No. 7: It’s okay to take a day for yourself. No. 8: Follow your gut, it’s almost always right. (Hers was anyway.) No. 9: Eat dessert first, if you like it. All goes to the same place regardless of the order in which you eat. No. 10: Hard work and dedication will get you what you want. No. 11: Anything cooked over medium rare is a waste of meat. No. 12: Don’t waste this life. It is far too short. Take advantage of opportunities and regret as little as humanly possible. No. 13: Never wax your eyebrows. They will never be the same. No. 14: Always stand up for yourself. Once when I was 4 or 5 and Paige was 2 or 3, we ate at a Steak ‘n Shake. I ordered chicken strips and they were so peppery I couldn’t eat them. Granny sent the food back and threw a fit at our snobby waitress. We left, she sold her stock and never went back. No. 15: Most importantly, family over everything. Whatever your definition of family may be, your family should always be over everything. Tom Krzyzek, Barb’s financial adviser, said this about her: “I was amazed at her ability to read people and assess situations in insightful ways. She was always a genuine person. She was a self-made person. She treated everyone around her with respect. We shall all miss her greatly.” Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

TO Letter THE Editor

‘A higher hill and yell louder’ To the Editor, This letter is in regards to Judy Haggenjos letter in the July 6 edition of the Putnam County Record referring to my letter disputing her comparison of Mr. Trump to Hitler. She has mistakenly assumed I am a supporter of Mr. Trump. I am not. I am also not a supporter of Ms. Clinton. I am tired of all the irrational comments by Mr. Trump and the constant lying by Ms. Clinton. The point of my letter is that no one should be compared to Hitler, a man who caused the death of 55 million people. The point apparently missed by Ms. Haggenjos. Does she or the left wing media really believe anyone could do that in this country, and that the people are weak and stupid enough to allow that to happen? While I do not care for either candidate, being a responsible citizen, a Vietnam veteran and a patriot, I will vote in the upcoming election. It seems that Ms. Haggenjos, like most left-wing peo-

ple, believe that if you don’t agree with them, they feel the need to find a higher hill and yell louder. In reality no one is convinced but themselves. With regards to the comment concerning the persecution of the Jews in Germany, a true human tragedy, you should know the Jewish people were not killing everyone that did not believe in the Jewish faith. However I do believe we should stop all criminals and radical Islamics, who do want to kill all that do not believe in their religion, at the border instead of having to kill them in a gun battle with police after another mass killing. I really don’t believe you will print this letter due to your political leaning, but I did want to respond. I will leave the pissing contest to Judy Haggenjos, I have better things to do. Kenneth Frey Putnam

Considerations by Nedda A friend and I were talking about some folks holding on to anger and resentments for long periods of time. You are all familiar with this. Someone has their feelings hurt or feels cheated or slighted in some way, and they can’t seem to let it go. Now of course, there are instances of someone fraudulently taking property away or losing a loved one to another. Nor are we are talking about blatant injustice. We can sympathize and understand other’s grief on loss, but it is easy to allow it slights, remarks or even not getting something really desired. Families can split over a misunderstanding. Resentment and anger are powerful emotions, and will hold on to us if we don’t try to get some resolution. Talking about it and asking some-

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY one whom you trust their opinion how to handle your struggle can really help. It is a way to release us from having these feelings be tagged to everything we experience in the future. We can become angry about everything and resent everything, and it becomes our attitude and way of life. Let it go! Easy for me to say, huh? I just know it takes energy and time to allow these feelings to get anchored in us. Life is too precious and short to fill it with ire. Forgive the person, and forget the slight. Give your life light and move

to happiness. On a lighter note! One of the great celebrations I have always loved is the Fourth of July. Towns large and small around our nation do their very best to put on a great show. We are so proud of our country. We have flaws and make mistakes in judgment and compared to other nations, we are so young. We don’t care on the Fourth of July if we blunder sometimes; we play music, wave flags, shoot off fireworks, eat lots of food and feel so good about it all. It is our time to shout. The kids and the middle aged and the old folks love it all. Hooray for us. My fondest thoughts to you all and remember to be kind.

How to build authentic character in youth sports Not everyone deserves a trophy. In fact, unearned rewards can be harmful, because artificially inflating a child’s self-esteem merely for participation in sports sends the wrong message, warns psychologist Jason Richardson. “There are plenty of incarcerated felons with an inflated self-view and there are extremely successful people grappling with a more moderate self-concept, so self-esteem alone is not the measure by which we should prepare our children for greatness,” says Richardson, a Pan-Am Games gold medalist who is also known as “Dr. JRich” among colleagues. Richardson isn’t alone. Last year, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison returned two participation trophies given to his two sons, awarded not for a specific victory that they’d earned, but simply for being student-athletes. Anyone can give and get a trophy, but the true value of youth sports is in the occasional tough lessons – and successes – children experience through hard work

and merit, says Richardson, author of “It’s All BS! We’re All Wrong, And You’re All Right!” He offers practical tips parents can share with their kids. • Stop saying “the problem is …” Fill in the blank. Too many people say the problem is with the coach, the school, the other kids, the equipment, the schedule – and so on. This kind of thinking implies failure because it immediately rules out your child’s goals. Instead, say things that rule in positive outcomes, such as, “I/We/You can do this.” • Make failure a teachable moment. Sports can test a kid’s emotional fragility. They may want to give up with failure, but that’s a terrible lesson. If your child missed a free throw that would’ve won the team the game, encourage free-throw practice the next day. Better yet, ask them what they are going to do differently next time. Use a coach’s staple: remind your child that Michael Jordan was cut by his high school basketball team during his soph-

Stay Local. Save Local.

omore year. Parents can always reward persistence and effort. • Don’t let your child’s ego run wild. The flipside of low self-esteem due to failure can be cockiness with success. Children have far less experience keeping the ego in check, so if he/she is the best athlete in school, they may become arrogant. Try to catch this early; people evolve at different rates. Temper their ego by showing examples of humility, respect and gratitude.

Use examples of great athletes who have overcome slumps or adversity. • Show them how to be a better student. It may seem odd that a star quarterback can memorize every detail of a complex playbook, but has trouble with class studies. If he’s having trouble with chemistry, for example, place the playbook next to the textbook and show him the parallels of complexity. Don’t let him believe he’s “just a jock.”

Adding to the tension, Nora, a dance student, has a chance to join a Broadway show where she might realize her dreams and earn enough money to help the family, but her mother insists that she stay in high school. Blanche has a dinner date with a bachelor neighbor, but he is injured in an auto accident. Stanley leaves to join the army, upsetting everyone, but changes his mind the next day. Eugene feels that he bears the brunt of everyone’s anger, disappointment, guilt, worry and frustration in addition to suffering the torments of adolescence. Pulitzer Prize and multiple Oscar and Tony award-winning playwright Neil Simon has worked his magic in this first of a trilogy of autobiographical plays, followed by Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound.

Bluegrass at the PCCC Ashley Lewis to perform on July 21

Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetter

Hostetters celebrate 50th wedding anniversary Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetter of Lakeland, Fla., formerly of Granville, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 18 with their family at a beach house in St. Augustine, Florida. James Hostetter and the former Marilyn K. Bartholomew were married June 18, 1966, at the Christian Church in Berkey, Ohio, by the Rev. Roy Striffler. James and Marilyn are the parents of Matt Hostetter of Granville and Andrea (Mike) Mehaffy of Chatham. They also have two grandchildren, Emma and Drew Mehaffy. James graduated from Eastern Michigan University with his bachelor’s and

master’s degrees in history. He taught history for two years at Bloomfield Township High School in Michigan. He then moved to Granville, and retired after 31 years as a history instructor at Illinois Valley Community College. Marilyn graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in math and taught math for two years at Bloomfield Township Junior High in Michigan. She moved to Granville, and was a homemaker and raised her two children. She then went to nursing school and became a registered nurse. She retired after 15 years as a night supervisor at St. Margaret’s in Spring Valley.

STANDARD — The Standard branch of the Putnam County Library District, located in the Putnam County Community Center (PCCC), will host a bluegrass performance by Nashville artist Ashley Lewis at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 21. According to her website, Lewis is a seven-time award recipient of the Illinois Arts Council for mandolin and has also been recognized as an accomplished and accredited Illinois Arts Tour musician who is preserving the heritage and art of Americana music. She graduated from Waubonsee College with a music performance degree and Presidential Honors. In 2007, she was honored with the “Fab 40” award from the college for her musical contribution to society as a musical artist. The Putnam County Record recently interviewed Lewis about her background, influences and career. “I grew up in the little farm town of Sandwich and credit the Illinois Arts Council with so much. They supported me through some very important learning years, and I owe them so much for that,” Lewis said. While Lewis has played in large, high profile venues, she shared what she enjoys about performing at more intimate locations such as the PCCC. “There’s that chance to connect with individuals on a personal level that you just don’t get at larger arenas. The opportunity to visit afterwards is so special too because I get to learn about their lives and a little bit about who they are as well,”

Nashville artist Ashley Lewis is a seven-time award recipient of the Illinois Arts Council for mandolin. Lewis said. Lewis also shared what drew her toward bluegrass music. “My mama always sang to me and played guitar while I was growing up. She is a fantastic songwriter and still is my favorite writer to collaborate with. She bought me my first mandolin and the rest, as they say, is history,” she said. What can fans expect at the upcoming concert? “This will be a solo performance, though I absolutely love performing with my whole band. I will take listeners on a costumed time travel experience through about 200 years or so of what we now call bluegrass and country music, starting with the

ancient melodies from the British isles to the African folk songs handed down generation to generation; the emergence of mountain music into mainstream; and the influences derived from Western swing, jazz and even rock and roll,” Lewis said. While Lewis currently lives in Nashville, rural Illinois will always hold a special place in her heart. “Illinois will always be home. I’m looking forward to seeing those endless cornfields and visiting friends and family. There’s also nothing that beats a Midwestern sunset,” Lewis said. For more information, call 815925-7020 or visit www.ashleylewis. net. This program is free and open to the public.

DAR sets Guinness world record for patriotism Princeton-Illinois chapter helps DAR collect 100,904 letters to military personnel in one month To celebrate the National Society’s 125th anniversary and the culmination of the Celebrate America! volunteer service initiative, the DAR channeled its fervor for patriotism and dedicated support of the nation’s military service members toward an ambitious goal. During the week of the 125th Continental Congress, held in June at DAR’s Washington, D.C., headquarters, the organization set an official Guinness World Records title in patriotism for “most letters to military personnel collected in one month.” DAR members possess an unwavering patriotic devotion that spans the organization’s 125year history. During the past three years alone, Daughters have devoted more than 2.2 million hours of service to veterans, honored more than 288,000 Vietnam War veterans, and donated more than $250,000 in support of active duty service members and their families. The Guinness World Records attempt served as a test: Could the membership exceed its already

high standards of support for our military? Achieving this ambitious goal required the National Society to collect and then mail at least 10,000 letters to active-duty service members. Daughters across the country rallied in support of the effort. Members of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter contributed by collecting letters to add to the total. Many DAR members wrote personal messages, but because individuals could write only one letter each, they also enlisted help from their communities. Princeton DAR members obtained letters from relatives, co-workers and friends for this record-setting effort. As dictated by the Guinness World Records guidelines, all letters had to be handwritten, addressed to an active-duty service member, placed inside a stamped, unsealed envelope and delivered in person to one of the designated stations set up at DAR Headquarters. Princeton-Illinois Chapter member Sharon Bittner took the chapter’s letters to Washington, D.C., and

The society reached 10 times that number to set an outstanding world record. hand-delivered them to a collection station. Letters of appreciation filled more and more boxes as the week progressed, and an official Guinness World Records adjudicator arrived to conduct the verification process. The carefully tallied total was revealed at the National Defense Night ceremony on Saturday,

June 18. As thousands in attendance waited to learn the outcome of the attempt, members surprised them by carrying in box after box to give a visual representation of how many letters were submitted. The adjudicator took the stage to announce the results using a number tally on the big screen. Cheers increased as soon

as the number topped 10,000, but then the audience, including the night’s special guests, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald and the USO President and CEO, Dr. J.D. Crouch, all went wild when the tally surpassed 100,000. The DAR had collected 100,904 letters, more than 10 times the minimum threshold

needed to set the record for most letters to military personnel collected in one month. This record-setting achievement provides the latest measure of the collective force of the DAR’s appreciation for the United States Military, while simultaneously fostering human connection between the American people and those who defend our freedom. As devoted stewards of the legacy of the Revolutionary War generation, Daughters feel equally compelled to express appreciation for the valor, sacrifice and commitment of today’s active-duty service members. Each letter represents the support of a grateful nation, and the Princeton-Illinois Chapter is humbled by the opportunity to assist in collecting these missives to the defenders of our country. By the end of June, all 100,904 letters were on the way to active-duty military personnel serving both at home and abroad. May their handwritten messages of gratitude and encouragement cheer the spirits of those who have raised their right hand and sworn to defend and protect the United States of America.
