PC Board OKs rezoning for Shale Energy By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The economic picture in and around the Putnam County area looks a little brighter after the Putnam County Board meeting on July 14. The Putnam County Board passed a rezoning amendment which will allow Shale Energy Services LLC to put up a facility off County Highway 1300

East, about three-quarter of a mile outside of Granville. Attorney James Andreoni of Peru represented Shale and gave a presentation on the project. Andreoni’s presentation was aimed at informing the board in regards to Shale and answering questions and concerns and correcting rumors that came out of an earlier meeting of the Putnam County Zoning Board.

According to Andreoni, the trains will be operating on the Norfolk Southern Railroad line and will be traveling from Kankakee and back, limiting the potential slowing of traffic on Route 71 at the train crossing. There will be lighting around the railcars and current construction plans include fencing around the facility. Proposed hours of operation are tentatively set from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

with potential future shifts operating during daylight hours as much as possible. Semi truck traffic will average 28 trips per day during the implementation of the first shift. The trucks are covered as well as the railcars and conveyor off-loading system. There will be a retention pond built. Shale will pay for the cost of road improvements near the facility.

The company will build two, 12-foot lanes with 4-foot gravel shoulders. On Route 71 at the intersection with County Highway 1300 East, the company will share maintenance of the road with Putnam County. Potential economic benefit for Putnam County will be positive, according to Andreoni. “Shale Energy Services has hired Chamlin and Associates to conduct

their preliminary engineering work,” Andreoni said. “Shale Energy Services does intend to hire local labor for what construction work will be done at the site.” Proposed jobs include 38 construction positions and initially eight employees. There will be 26 employees when the plant runs at full capacity.

Hennepin looks at marijuana facility By Ken Schroeder

HENNEPIN — Someone else is throwing their hat into the ring for a chance to operate a medical marijuana facility in District 17. Hennepin Mayor Kevin Coleman told the village board at its July 16 meeting there is a potential buyer for the Modern Hard Chrome property next to the vacant steel mill. The property would extend from Interstate 180 north to the water district. Currently, land near the facility is zoned residential, and state requirements do not allow such zoning within 2,500 feet. Coleman wants to rezone the residential area — which is currently uninhabited — to conservation zoning. Three houses sit in that area, but none of them are currently in use. If the facility is erected, it is expected to produce 20 jobs from the start with possible expansion. Village zoning officer Larry Brown told the board Coleman can start the rezoning process with the board’s approval. The company has told Coleman they would pay the expenses for preparing the property. The board gave Coleman permission to start rezoning proceeding for the project. The Hennepin Fourth of July was more successful than originally thought. The final estimate shows more than 8,000 people

More jobs coming to Granville Shale Energy to employ 26 workers By Ken Schroeder

GRANVILLE — More jobs will be coming to Granville and Putnam County after the Putnam County Board approved the rezoning of the proposed site three-quarters of a mile south of the new Dollar General Store on

County Highway 1300 East. Attorney James Andreoni of Peru represented Shale Energy Services at the July 15 Granville Village Board meeting and gave a presentation on the details of the project. Also in attendance were Michelle Herron from Shale and Herbert Smith from Norfolk Southern Railways. Andreoni told the board the trains will be operating on

the Norfolk Southern Railroad line and will be traveling from Kankakee to the facility and back, which will limit the potential slowing of traffic on Route 71 at the train crossing. A highway survey concluded the slight influx of truck traffic should not impact the Route 71 highway surface. Current construction plans include fencing around the facility and lights that will be

“unobtrusive” to the neighboring residents. Proposed hours of operation are tentatively set from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. with potential future shifts operating during daylight hours to match the agricultural timetable the area has established. Shale predicts an average of 28 semis per day at the beginning of the operation.

Rezoning From Page 1 “For every job we have in the industrial sector there’s a multiplier effect ... We are going to create other ancillary jobs as a result of that, service jobs for example ... We would expect to create 35-40 construction jobs, 25 intermediate and 80 indirect jobs,” Andreoni said. “We anticipate to have an initial gross payroll of one to two million dollars and if we get up to maximum capacity, we would have a payroll of three and a half

to five million dollars.” Herbert Smith of Norfolk Southern Railroad also addressed the board. Smith said the track in Putnam County needs to be used. Otherwise, the company may have to evaluate its long-term feasibility. Board Chairman Duane Calbow asked County Board Zoning Commissioner Jim Burger to address the audience in regards to his review of a similar facility near Streator. Burger commented he saw a very similar facility to what is being proposed and saw

no long-term problems or concerns for the project. Hennepin Mayor Kevin Coleman addressed the board to add his support. “I’m in favor of this project, not for the project itself but the potential it has for the future,” Coleman said. “With this project going through, people throughout the United States will see this, and they will know that Putnam County will work with others and with industry. We will all benefit. This is a great project.” The proposed facility will be completed by the end of 2014.

ed to bring in 26 jobs once the facility opens and will hire local companies to do the construction of the facility and the road renovations. Initial payroll coming into the county will be between one and two million dollars. Smith told the board this will bring renewed traffic to Granville and could lead to more businesses using the railway and the surrounding area as new business locations.

In other action, the board: • Donated $100 to the Putnam County Rotary picnic at Darrell Alleman’s “Field of Dreams” north of the village on Aug. 8. The board also donated $500 in tornado relief funds to Earlville. • Discussed the circus coming to Granville in August. The Culpepper/ Merriweather Circus will set up at Putnam County High School on Aug. 23.

HENNEPIN — At the July 14 meeting of the Putnam County Board, appointments were made to fill current vacancies on two boards. Sandra Woest of Magnolia was sworn in to fill the unexpired term of former board member Jordan Ellena who resigned his position in May. Woest, who is currently working on the county’s website was classified as a “good asset” for the Putnam County Board. The second appointment for the board was for Ron Bluemer to fill a vacancy on the Putnam County Conservation District Board. The board also heard monthly reports including one from Sheriff Kevin Doyle. Doyle updated the board in regards to the building’s lightning strike that happened when the last round of storms hit Hennepin. Doyle explained to the board they are trying to determine if the damage is in excess of the $1,000 deductible the county’s insurance policy has. The Otto Baum Co. of Morton was the lowest bidder in the first phase of repair for work on the courthouse in Hennepin. The board voted to give the company the bid of $31,125 which was below the initial estimate of $34,594 to work on the sandstone band-

The Bureau-Putnam Area Rural Transit group also gave the board its proposed fee change which was approved by the board. Monthly reports were also given by treasurer Kevin Kunkel, zoning officer Jim Burger and county E.M.A. coordinator John Ehrhardt.

Granville library is on the move

Mark streets not lining up

By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE – The Granville library branch of the Putnam County District Library is making a move ... to a new location. The relocation will take place sometime later this fall or early next spring. It will move next door to 214 Main St., Granville. “This is a great opportunity for the citizens of Granville and Mark,” said Putnam County Library Director Jay Kahlmanh. “We will have a remodeled building that will be twice the size of our current location ... We are trying to fund raise $100,000 for renovations.” The new location will allow more books for patrons as well as more seating space. The children’s area will grow as well. There will also be a permanent area for technology-based classes with the district computers. According to Kahlman, the library is currently applying for grants to help pay for new books for the library district as well as defraying costs for the renovation. “We will have a dedicated room for showing movies and holding programs,” Kahlman said. “We plan to be very well situated for the future.” To kick off the plans,

MARK — Mark village engineer Jack Kusek told the village board at its July 15 meeting he’s found some discrepancies on some streets while surveying in preparation for street repairs. “We’re setting the block corners, and everything seems to fit. Heading south we’re allowing 50 feet per lot, and everything is running pretty close until you get up to Public Street,” Kusek said. “Even the map from the courthouse shows the lot line on some of the houses up there encroach on the right-of-way. We’re going to have to figure out what’s going on at the north end of Public, and there’s probably going to be some adjustment and coordinating with the buildings and the property owners. Their houses are built into the right-of-way.” The maps from the county courthouse are also contradictory in places. Where one map shows a jog in the street, another one doesn’t. “At this point, everything else fits,” Kusek

Little by little we will get there,” she said. “We are now also accepting book donations for the book sale during Granville Days.” Garcia is excited about the new location and how it opens the Granville branch to modernize its facilities, not only physically but philosophically. Modern libraries are evolving into social destinations with not only books, but Internet access, magazines, programs and more. “We are hoping to make the library a more friendly,

Commercial usage of the postal services has dropped 27 percent during the last seven years. The United States Postal Service informed the board it will likely shorten the hours for the post office operations from 7:15 to 11:15 a.m. Monday to Friday and from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays.

Dollars and sense Classic investing mistakes Year after year, in bull and bear markets, investors make some all-too-common blunders. They have been written about, talked about and critiqued at some length – and yet they are still made. You can chalk them up to psychology, human nature, perhaps even a degree of peer pressure. You just don’t want to find yourself making them more than once.

Caving into emotion The deVere Group, which consults high net worth investors around the world, recently surveyed 880 of its clients and found even with their experience, some had made the equivalent of a rookie mistake – 20 percent had let fear or greed prompt them into emotional investment decisions.1 Investors use past performance to justify their greed – it did well recently, I better buy more of it, but past performance is merely history and represents a micro factor versus macroeconomic factors influencing sectors and markets. Fear prompts panic selling. How many investors draw on technical analysis or even stop-loss limits when shares suddenly decline? A stop-loss limit is handy for those who don’t want to watch the market every day – it instructs a brokerage to sell a stock if it drops below a specific value, often in the range of 8-10 percent of the purchase price.2

Investing without a strategy Some people invest with one idea in mind – making money. An outstanding goal to be sure, but it shouldn’t blind them to other priorities such as tax efficiency, managing risk and reviewing asset allocation. Even 22 percent of the investors in the deVere poll confessed to this.1

Not diversifying enough Have you ever heard the phrase “familiarity bias?” This is when investors develop a “home team” attachment to an investment. Just as sports fans stick by the Celtics and the Cornhuskers and the Cubs through thick and thin, some investors stick with a few core investments for years. Maybe they work for XYZ Company or their mom did, or maybe they like what XYZ Company represents, so having a certain percentage of the portfolio in shares of XYZ Company gives them a good feeling. If XYZ Company craters, they won’t feel so good. You can hold too much of one investment, especially if a company rewards you with its stock.2 Conversely, some portfolios are overdiversified and hold too many investments. This is seldom the fault of investors; over time, they may end up with some shares of all the major companies in an industry group with a little help from Wall Street money managers. The core problem here is that not all of these companies can be winners.

Slipshod tax management of investments Sometimes certain investments within a taxable account will lose money, yet because of past gains they have made, the investor is stuck with capital gains tax. Some investments are better held in taxable accounts and others in tax-deferred accounts, as various types of investments are taxed at varying rates. When you retire and tap into your savings, you can potentially improve tax efficiency by drawing

Christian Cyr COMMENTARY

down your taxable accounts first, so that you’ll face the capital gains tax rate (which may be 15% or even 0%) instead of the ordinary income tax rate.3 Also, when you pull money from your taxable accounts first, your tax-advantaged accounts get a little more time to grow and compound. If they are large, another year or two of growth and compounding could prove beneficial.

Seldom reviewing portfolio allocations A long-term asset allocation strategy starts with defined percentages. Over time – and it may not take much time – the percentage allocations go out of whack. A bull market may result in a greater percentage of your portfolio assets being held in stock, and while this overweighting may seem reasonable in the near term, it may not be what you want in the long term.

Investing (or reinvesting) near a market peak Many investors play the market in one direction, which is up – they buy with expectations that a sector or the broad market will keep climbing. Short selling stocks (i.e., seek to exploit falling stock prices) takes more skill than many investors have. A buy-and-hold philosophy may prove very rewarding, as long as you don’t hold too rigidly or too long in the event of a sustained, systemic shock to the markets.

An even keel promotes a steady course Fear, greed, bias, randomness, inattention – these are the root causes of the classic investing blunders. We have all made them; patience and experience may help us avoid them in the future. Christian Cyr is a Financial Advisor in Hennepin.

Heartland Health Care Center receives outstanding survey results HENRY — Heartland of Henry has again received outstanding state survey results and with this most recent survey, no deficiencies. The survey is conducted annually at all nursing centers by the Illinois Department of Public Health as a way to measure the quality of care delivered in all skilled nursing centers. “I applaud the positive attitude and commitment to providing exceptional clinical and therapy services which ensures our patients are treated with the greatest level of dignity, comfort and enjoyment possible whether it be for patients in our short term rehabilitation program or long-term patient care,” said Susan M. Legner, administrator at Heartland of Henry. “Our scores reflect the commitment to excellence that we strive to reach every day. I’m very

proud of our team. We continue to be the only five-star rated facility in the Illinois Valley area. Heartland of Henry was the first to offer rehab to home services over 25 years ago and continues to be a leader and innovator in patient care and services.” The survey is a detailed process where the center is expected to adhere to an extensive list of rules and regulations designed to ensure the safety, wellbeing and dignity of each resident. The process can include interviewing staff, patients and families, analyzing patient documentation and observing staff in all areas of business. Citations for not meeting a regulation are called deficiencies. “Our success is reflective of the commitment to excellence and caring on the part of every employee,” said Daniel

Johnston, regional director of Operations of HCR ManorCare, Heartland’s parent company. “Our survey results reaffirm that our patient’s best way home is through our doors. On average, 89 percent of rehabilitation patients admitted to Heartland Health Care/HCR ManorCare centers return home. We are proud of our accomplishments and of our contribution to the community. Heartland of Henry consistently shines in this intensive survey process. Our company focuses on being committed to service and care every day and Heartland of Henry certainly lives this philosophy.” For more information, visit www.medicare.gov or call Heartland at 309364-3905. Heartland of Henry is located at 1650 Indian Town Road, and is part of the HCR ManorCare family.

Appellate Court rules in favor of IVCC OGLESBY — The Third District Appellate Court recently ruled in favor of Illinois Valley Community College concerning its ongoing litigation involving Marquis Energy LLC, and Putnam County and its clerk and recorder and treasurer. In 2006, IVCC passed a resolution authorizing abatement of real estate taxes of new construction in the Bureau-Putnam

Area Enterprise Zone pursuant to certain conditions. “It is our position that the Putnam County ethanol plant owned by Marquis, which began operation in 2008, did not meet these conditions,” said IVCC attorney Walt Zukowski. “However, the Putnam County Clerk abated taxes attributable to the ethanol plant that would have otherwise

been paid to the college.” Failure to follow the resolution’s conditions has resulted in other taxpayers paying more and a loss of tax revenue to IVCC, said Zukowski. “After it became apparent we could not resolve this controversy informally, IVCC filed suit in Circuit Court to obtain the abated tax revenue,” he said. Due to reasons beyond the college’s control, it was

not until May 14 of this year the Appellate Court heard oral arguments, and on July 9, ruled IVCC followed proper procedure for filing its complaint and that the Circuit Court can continue to hear the matter. “We are pleased with the result and hopeful the matter will soon be resolved in a way that is fair to all parties involved,” said Zukowski.

Law strengthening GDL program took effect July 1 SPRINGFIELD — The law proposed by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White to further improve Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program took effect July 1. The new law requires people ages 18 to 20 who failed to attend driver education to complete a sixhour driver training and education course before applying for a driver’s license.

“Since we implemented one of the nation’s most comprehensive GDL programs in 2008, teen driving fatalities have dropped nearly 60 percent,” said White. “But even the best programs can be made better, and this legislation will help strengthen our state’s GDL program, and hopefully save more lives.” Prior to this law, when teens turned 18 — even

without any driver education whatsoever – they were allowed to apply for and obtain a driver’s license. In 2013, there were 37,543 driver’s licenses issued to 18 to 20 year olds. Of those, 18,532 did not take driver education. The six-hour driver training course includes a variety of critical traffic safety components, including instruction

on traffic laws; highway signs, signals and markings; issues commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents such as poor decision-making, risk-taking, impaired driving, distraction, speed, not wearing a safety belt, driving at night, failure to yield the right-of-way, texting while driving, using wireless communication devices and alcohol and drug awareness.

Preventing abuse of older adults SPRINGFIELD — On July 7, Gov. Pat Quinn declared July 2014 as Elder Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. Elder or dependent adult abuse refers to a negligent act including physical, sexual, emotional, confinement, passive neglect, willful deprivation or financial exploitation committed by a person known to the victim. It is estimated that approximately 5 percent of older adults fall victim to abuse each year, and with a population exceeding two million adults 60 or over, it is estimated that 100,000 older adults fall victim to abuse in Illinois annually. In 2013, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) received 11,756 reports of suspected abuse of older adults. There has been a steady rise in reports received over the last 10 years, but it is still believed that a large portion of abuse cases go unreported. In addition to older adults, last year the state of

Illinois combined the Elder Abuse program with the investigation of abuse and neglect of adults 18 and over with a disability to form the Adult Protective Services program, administered by IDOA. The inclusion of investigation of alleged abuse of adults age 18 or over with a disability has increased the number of reports investigated, and has added a whole new population of victims and possible unreported abuse cases. IDOA is hoping to raise awareness with the general public, family members and those who work with the eligible populations to be on the lookout for signs of abuse and neglect. Some indicators of abuse include: • Untreated injuries, bruises, burns, sprains or dislocations, scratches and cuts. • Sudden changes in behavior, unusual depression and/or withdrawal in social settings.

• Tense relationships/ frequent arguments with a caregiver, or a caregiver’s refusal to allow visitors. • Dehydration, unusual weight loss, poor hygiene, untreated health problems, unsafe living conditions. • Sudden financial changes: additional names added to accounts, unauthorized withdrawals of funds, abrupt changes on a will or other financial documents. If you suspect abuse or neglect of an eligible adult, report this to the local investigative unit or the IDOA 24-hour hotline. In Putnam County, the Adult Protective Services unit is operated by Alternatives for the Older Adult. Alternatives accepts reports of abuse Monday through Friday during business hours and can be reached at 309-277-0167 or 800798-0988. If a report needs to be made outside of normal business hours or on the weekend, IDOA oper-

ates a 24-hour hotline that can be reached at 866-8001409 or TTY 888-206-1327. Anonymous reports are accepted, and all calls and information provided are kept confidential. If there are questions about whether or not a specific incident should be reported, or for more information about services available to older adults and/or their caregivers, contact the IDOA Senior Help Line at 800252-8966 or Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging at 309-793-6800 or 800-322-1051.

an arrest warrant for Tara Casey, 23, of Granville. Bond was set at $25,000 with 10 percent to apply. Casey was unable to post bond and was transported to the LaSalle County Jail for housing. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services.

Walking the road not chosen Editor’s note: This is another installment in a series by former staff writer Barb Kromphardt. After failing two mammograms, I was told I would need a needle biopsy, and because of the nature of my condition, it would mean a surgical biopsy. The nurse at the mammogram center COMMENTARY checked with the surgical practice just across the street and came back with a date just more than two weeks later. The long wait was my fault. We had a family vacation planned for many months for the following week, and they told me there was no reason to cancel it. Whatever was wrong with my breast – if anything – wasn’t going to get any worse in a couple of weeks. So, we went on vacation, and oddly, I had a pretty good time. As I’ve said before, I’m a bit of a hypochondriac and can work myself into a frenzy over very little. But now, facing the possibility of cancer, I was strangely calm. I still didn’t think I really could have breast cancer and that this was all a mistake. I’m sure the prayers of my friends and family were holding me up, as well. After returning from vacation, I had my meeting with the surgeon. The examination room was filled with posters of diseases I didn’t want to think about. My angel – the nurse from the mammogram center – was there with me. She told me she would be there for me as long as I needed her. I told her with a shaky smile I hoped I didn’t have to see her again for a very long time. The surgeon came in, gave me a brief exam, and then explained what he was going to do. My breast would be numbed, a needle would be inserted into the site of the suspicious sparkles on the mammogram, and then the cells would be removed. The only good news was that I would be given conscious sedation rather than general anesthesia. In other words, I’d still be out during the procedure but breathing on my own. The surgeon was optimistic, and he said the odds were very good the “sparkles” were only calcium deposits and not cancer, and if they were, well, we had caught it nice and early. He was pretty thorough, and I didn’t have too many questions, but I did have one thing I wanted to tell him. You see, I’m adopted, so I don’t know what my genetic history is regarding breast cancer. But my emotional history was something different. They had found the same sparkles in my adopted mother’s breast many times. In her case, they were just calcium deposits until the last time, when they found she had breast cancer. About 10 years later, long after her mastectomy scars had healed, the breast cancer came back, Stage 4 this time. Within a month, she was dead. So, choking back tears, I told the doctor, “So I know how this whole process can go, and how this can end.” When I went out to schedule the biopsy, I told the clerk I was eager to get it done as soon as possible. We set up a tentative time for early the following week. The next day the phone rang. It was the surgeon’s office. There had been an opening, and I was set for two days later, on Friday morning. I was glad to have the procedure moved up. I wasn’t looking forward to it, and this way I wouldn’t have to worry about it over the weekend. I notified my family and faithful friends, and sent up a few desperate prayers of my own. I prayed for peace and calmness, for steadiness in the surgeon’s hands, oh, and for some positive results, if it wasn’t too much to ask.

Weather or not Bear with me on this one, but it will make sense eventually. Last July, I went to the LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam County 4-H Fairs. It was hot. Very hot. I think I lost 15 pounds that month. (I readily admit. There are people who perspire. I’m not one of them. There are people who sweat. I’m not one of them, either. I precipitate. If I shake my head during the summer and you’re within 15 feet of me, you *will* get wet. I apologize.) This past winter, it was cold. Very cold. One of the coldest winters on record according to the National Weather Service. I know I’m not telling you something you don’t know, but I’m closing in on the point. April 2013 was wet. It’s been called a millennial rain, and some towns are still trying to rectify problems the flooding caused. On July 15 during the midday, it was 61 degrees. Someone on Faux

Ken Schroeder COMMENTARY News called it a polar vortex, but it still was cold enough the smokers in the office were wearing coats while they alleviated their next nicotine fit. You can’t really call it global warming or global cooling. Even if you don’t believe in such things, you do have to admit if nothing else, the weather is getting extremer. It’s a made-up word, but it fits. We may not be breaking records daily, but we’re approaching records which were set over the course of decades and often within the same year. Last July, temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 90s. The record high is 112, set back in 1954. July 15,

2014, the low temperature was 57. The lowest ever was 48 degrees set in 1975. Is this fluky? Possibly, but for the last several years, weather seems to have been high or low with few in-betweens. One of the worst droughts in the summer was followed by a millennial rain in the spring. Two years ago, we had an incredibly mild winter, but last year more than made up for that. Is it pollution and man’s tampering that is melting the polar icecaps, or is this part of a cycle that’s been continuing since before recorded history? There’s ample evidence for both. All I know is if this keeps up, the man who invents a cream to rejuvenate skin from frostbite with an SPF of 75 is going to be one rich son-ofa-gun.

Field of Dreams Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY If you wanted to see a real live cow, pig, horse, chicken or cars smoking each other, the 93rd annual Marshall-Putnam Fair was the place to be. The fair had good weather and was successful. The kick off dinner had the best sweet corn ever. The beautiful and talented Marshall-Putnam girls in the three pageants, larger crowds watching the two harness races, than the last couple of years I thought. One race was a tie, it took several minutes before the judge could decide which horse won. Senior citizen programs were in the Hunt buildings, sponsored by Judge Michael McCuskey and Judge Scott Shore along with wife Adriane Shore drew a crowd of 200 attendees. The Henry Torpedo Boys entertained the senior citizens with great music. A Navy sailor and his Navy bride who were also seniors danced to most of the songs. Judge McCuskey explained why he came back to the MarshallPutnam Fairgrounds. He said his granddad graduated from Varna High School; his father graduated from Lacon High School; his mother graduated from Wenona High School; and he graduated from Sparland High School. He was happy to come home. It always amazes me that the fair is run by good citizens who volunteer and work so many hours of really hard work. They take great pride in providing a clean, safe, fun fair for all the people who attend. The exhibitors breakfast has the best pancakes you could ever taste. •••

Lady Panther varsity volleyball working hard over summer By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILE — Entering the next year of the Putnam County High School volleyball program has the squad in high spirits. With summer practices, league play and camp, the team has been working hard to prepare for the fall 2014 season. Senior Katie Bernardoni has been playing volleyball since fifth grade. To be frank, Bernardoni is a fan of volleyball. “I’ve always loved it,” she said. “I love being on the team. I love my teammates, and I love my sport.” The team is having fun as the program has turned around with head coach Amy Kreiser. They are friends as well as teammates, and fans can see that in their efforts on the court. “I think it really helps that we are friends off the court. We just don’t talk at practice, we talk at school so that helps,” she said. Seniors Paige Griffith and Megan Rehn are looking forward to the fall volleyball season. “I think we are a pretty tight knit group,” Griffith said. “I’m looking forward to playing with everybody because this is the last year we get to do so,” Rehn said. Both Griffith and Rehn have a unique bond as they have regularly attended the University of Iowa volleyball camp each summer. Griffith’s mom also worked with the two as often as possible. “We’ve had plenty of touches on the ball,” Griffith said. Playing multiple sports can also be a challenge for high school athletes. Rehn said it’s an enjoyable challenge.

Paige Griffith returns the ball with a spike during the contest against Mendota High School on July 17. The Lady Panthers will play for two more Thursdays in July at Princeton High School. “I don’t feel pressure by sports at all. It’s honestly like a release,” Rehn said. Putnam County High School is listed in Class 2A for volleyball, which brings a whole other level of competition to the table. “There is going to be teams like Roanoke Benson who hasn’t lost anybody. The conference title will be up for grabs,” Griffith said. Tori Smoode, a junior on the team, initially didn’t care for

volleyball when she started playing in sixth grade. “Once I got the hang of it, I had a lot of fun,” she said. Managing time is key to being able to be successful in high school athletics. “Being involved in two other sports is very demanding. It’s nice being busy at times and putting your priorities first and knowing what is important,” Smoode said. Conditioning is also impor-

tant to be competitive as a high school athlete. Practice isn’t all many student do to be ready to compete. “I like to run. I also do workouts and other stuff,” Smoode said. What all four athletes agree on is friendship is also key to having a successful team. “When someone does well, you are happy for them. It makes you want to do good too,” Griffith said.

their character. This was the 74th Girls State session at Eastern Illinois University. The session ran from June 15-21. Students selected to attend the program were educated on city, county and state government, including running for public office, campaigning, the voting process and what the duties are in each

office, and to write legislation pertaining to Illini Girls State as well as the state and nation. This helps the girls to develop their public speaking and leadership skills. They were in workshops, formed their own governments, listened to motivational speakers, and participated in electronic voting. Flag etiquette and Americanism was taught as well.

Summer camp international St. Bede hosts students from Mexico By Goldie Currie Shaw Media Service

PERU — St. Bede Academy is currently hosting 14 young students from Mexico, who are here to experience American culture first-hand and get a better grasp on the English language. The students, whose ages range from 9 to 14 years old, come from private schools located in Toluca and Metepec, Mexico. The students are accompanied by chaperones Luz Camila Diaz, Yara Gonzalez Cuenca and Angeles Diaz Vega. Staff and students at St. Bede have planned numerous activities and day trips for them to experience during their three-week stay. Vega played a leading role in putting together this camp for the students, after sending her son to St. Bede. She said after seeing the impressive opportunities and academics it had to offer, she sat down with St. Bede Superintendent Ted Struck and talked about providing a way to expose young students to the academy to get a taste of

what an American private school has to offer. “We always had a dream about summer camps, but we had never been in touch with any (American) schools,” she said. Vega explained parents in Mexico strive to send their students to America to study, become accustomed to the culture and improve their English speaking skills. “In Mexico, the majority want students to study English. Everybody teaches English because it’s the language that moves the world,” she explained. “In Mexican universities, the students have to speak English. If not, you can not get a good job.” St. Bede camp coordinator Eve Postula explained this opportunity is a winwin situation for both the Mexican students and St. Bede. “We have an interest in opening up our doors and bringing more students in because we feel the diversity we’re offering to the local community kids is really another unique feature for St. Bede,” she said. “The students from Mexico are a wonderful fit with the St. Bede students. They have a lot of similarities, and they are finding that out, which is really nice. Being from Catholic backgrounds and Catholic families, they fit in well with our student

population.” During their stay, the campers are taught religion, structured ESL (English as a Second Language) classes and get to intermingle with local St. Bede students to improve conversation skills. They will also be paired up in St. Bede’s summer volleyball and swimming camps, among many more ongoing activities around the campus. “We’re using the resources and the things we have here and exposing these students to it,” Postula explained. “It’s very interesting because we didn’t know what to expect when the students got here and how open and outgoing they would be with intermingling with the St. Bede students. But they have just been so inquisitive and want to talk, and it makes it fun and easy because they want to do everything we have planned.” Outside of the academy’s campus, the campers take day trips to places like Great America, Echo Bluff and Chicago, for a day of sightseeing all the major attractions. “We have to mix joy and education because they are young,” Vega said. “But they are having a wonderful time with the American kids and are starting to talk with them more each day. Their young age is very

“This is completely different here. We visited Chicago, and it was amazing and very different to El Paso, Texas, “ Vega said. Cuenca agreed and pointed out how much better the hospitality is in this area. “I want to thank the

academy for all their support and hospitality, and I am really surprised at the quality of their services,” she said. Vega is already looking into next summer’s camp, which is expected to grow and include more than 30 campers.
