Putnam County Schools: In the black By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County School District Board received good news in regards to the final numbers of the 201314 school budget. The fiscal year end budget has the district with a positive balance of $280,962. Superintendent Jay McCracken presented the report.

“This is one of the strongest ending fund balance we have ever had,” McCracken said. Breaking it down, the educational fund revenues were set at $7,749,596. This year the same fund’s expenditures came in at $7,329,937. The budget had been set in the educational fund at $3.9 million and the actual year end fund balance for the educational fund was $4.1 million.

Due to many building projects during the school year, the operations and maintenance fund revenues were $638,230 while the expenditures were $916,631. McCracken pointed out the overall fund balance was at $1.8 million while the budgeted fund balance was at $1.7 million. The transportation fund for the district had revenue of $810,935 while the overall expenses were

$850,868. The board’s budgeted fund balance was $224,181 while the actual fund balance for the year was $255,856. “It is to be expected as the transportation fund money from the state has been cut,” McCracken said. “But we knew with Johannes we would be spending more money, but at the same time Pam (Ellena, board secretary) does a great job with the transportation budget.”

The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund revenues were $381,312, while the expenses came in at $294,687. This left the actual IMRF fund balance at $350,5834. The working cash fund revenue was $64,424 and expenditures were none during the school year. The actual fund balance ended at $2,066,685 against a budgeted fund balance of $2,072,136. The difference in the low

interest was earned on the fund investments. Under the Tort fund, revenues were $243, 312 and expenditures were $276,706. Under life safety funds, revenues were $58,335 and there were no expenses as the life safety work has been completed two years ago. This left the actual fund balance at $382,791.

Bird tests positive for WNV No positive tests in Bureau/Putnam counties By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Area surveillance for the West Nile Virus (WNV) has confirmed a dead crow in Sterling has tested positive for the virus. The Sauk Valley News Daily Gazette reported on July 17 that Whiteside County Public Health Administrator Beth Fiorini had issued a press release confirming a crow had contracted the virus from a Culex mosquito, the primary spreader of the disease. Bureau/Putnam County Health Department’s Director of Health Protection Kurt Kuchle said local WNV surveillance continues, but the health department is having problem getting birds for testing this year. The health department has sent in only one dead bird for WNV testing this year. The bird was from the Granville area and tested negative for WNV. The health department has received other birds, but the birds which the health department has picked up so far, or were brought to the health department, have all been too decomposed. In order to be tested, a bird has to be fresh, dead less than 12 hours. In cases when birds have been brought to the health department on a Friday, those birds will not keep, even with ice packs, until Monday when the state lab reopens, he said. Vol. 146 No. 48 One Section - 16 Pages

The health department recommends the public not handle the birds too much. The best way to pick up the bird is with a plastic bag and then place it in a second bag, which should be put in a cooler or refrigerator if the bird is found after department open hours. Obviously, he is not talking about a cooler or refrigerator that is used for food, he said. As a reminder, the local health department needs five birds from Bureau County and five birds from Putnam County to be sent to WNV testing. The health department would like to get at least two birds in July and two birds in August from each county. The quarterly reports to the Department of Public Health don’t look so good without numbers to report, positive or negative, he said. “I’m sure other health department are having the same problems. We are conducting the required activities, but the reports don’t reflect a whole lot of activity. The Department of Public Health does ask for hours spent on collecting and testing, but not how many birds that were collected but could not be tested,” he said. As far as local mosquito surveillance, Kuchle said the health department has tested five mosquito batches from Putnam County and 10 from Bureau County. All have been negative, he said.

New PCCC outreach coordinator Gwen Bray works the dough for the raviolis as a group puts them together July 9.

PCCC hires new outreach coordinator By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

STANDARD — The Putnam County Community Center has a new officer. Gwen Bray has been added to the staff as the new outreach coordinator. The outreach coordinator passes information on the center’s programs to the appropriate population in Putnam County and surrounding areas. PCCC Director Autumn Keegan is thrilled to have Bray on staff. “So if people see Gwen come to their door, please talk to her.

She will be distributing information, coming door to door in the county,” Keegan said. “I have helped over here since I’ve came here. I’ve done wellness fairs here before. As a massage therapist, some of my clients are from around here, so they know me too,” Bray said. “It just kind of evolved from that point.” The PCCC was hard at work with an outreach project last week — making handmade ravioli. Keegan explained the process they were following. “We make the dough in a KitchenAide mixer. It’s just eggs, flour,

water and oil. Then we roll it out flat with our rollers. Then they take the meat and roll them, cutting into ravs,” Keegan said. Helping the project along was Bray who was rolling dough with Keegan. Wrapping up the meat with the dough was Helen Aimone, Norma Hrovat and Dorothy Grivetti as well as PCCC bookkeeper Kelli Keegan. The project of making the ravs is being held in conjunction with an event that is being planned at the center on Nov. 1. Details are still being worked out, but Autumn Keegan promises a lot of fun will be involved.

low activity is most likely weather-related, he said. Typically, Kuchle said the WNV season would be entering peak activity this week. However, this year’s peak could be as late as the third week of August, he added. “Cool and wet usually means less West Nile; hot and dry usually means

more,” Kuchle said. “No one can predict, but the arrow is pointing toward a low number of human cases this year. But, people should continue to follow the standard mosquito protection precautions. I do know that if you want to be eaten alive, pick green beans or anything else form my garden at dusk.”

When a person hears the phrase “genetically modified food,” it sometimes brings Frankensteinian images to mind from science fiction: Food that can help control the masses, make you sick without realizing it or made from ... other sources. In reality, genetically modified foods have been around for quite a while. Most of the time people do not even realize they are eating foods that have been genetically modified. In the Illinois General Assembly, SB1666 — more commonly called the Genetically Engineered Food Labeling Act — was introduced in February of 2013. In this bill upon its passing, any food with more than a certain percentage of genetically modified content must be labeled as genetically modified. There has been some debate in the media about genetically modified foods; some grounded in science, but others in misinformation. Opponents of genetically modified foods say consumers have the right to know what is in the food they are eating. The portion of the food industry in favor of genetically modified foods say they are safe and labels would only con-

fuse the consumer. The Food and Drug Administration has sided with the non-labeling side of the argument so far, which has led many states to make the decision themselves. To define what foods or organisms qualify as genetically modified is difficult. It is generally something you can’t detect on a visual level. Genetically modified foods are animals or plants which have had genes copied from other plants or animals and inserted into their DNA. “Hy-Vee shares the public policy position of the Food Marketing Institute and the Grocery Manufacturers with regard to GM food and biotechnology — namely, that we believe consumers have a basic right to know the relevant information about the products they buy, including information about genetically modified foods or foods containing genetically modified ingredients,” Peru Hy-Vee perishables manager Steven O’Neil said. “Hy-Vee wants to provide customers with as much information as possible to enable them to make informed buying decisions. We think the process of educating the public about GM foods and biotechnology will be most effective if undertaken as a cooperative effort among the food industry, the government and the

scientific and consumer communities.” Scientists have worked with genetics to improve the world’s food supply, but the difference in genetically modified foods and what some call “engineered” foods is the process in which it is done. “Engineered” food is created in a lab. The process makes it mature at a quicker pace than normal. Scientists will add traits to the food to make it stronger, more resistant to disease and able to resist pesticides it would normally not be able to. There are a multitude of ways these foods find their way to your local grocery store. The genetically modified corn and soybeans may be used by farmers to feed their cattle for better meat or made into ingredients like corn starch, soybean oil or high fructose corn syrup, ingredients used in much of the processed foods in America. The Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve genetically modified meat or fish for human consumption. According to the United States National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Health, there is more testing and research yet to be done before more genetically modified they can be allowed in the consumer market.

CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn signed a new state capital construction bill that invests $1.1 billion in road and bridge projects to improve transportation, create jobs and boost economic development across Illinois. The bill will deliver more than 210 projects and create an estimated 14,300 jobs. Construction on many of the “shovel ready” projects has already begun this summer. A list of capital construction projects includes just under $1.2 million to resurface Route 71 from Route 89 to Coun-

ty Highway 54 in Cedar Point. Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Erica Borggren noted with the record setting winter of 2014-15, the infrastructure in Illinois took a hard hit. “This construction program is the shot in the arm that our transportation system and our economy needs,” Borggren said. Quinn signed the capital construction bill and also signed Senate Bill 3224 which provides the General Obligation bond authorization needed to fund the $1.1 billion

worth of transportation infrastructure improvements. In addition to funding $1 billion in projects in the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) Fiscal Year 2015-20 Multi-Year Program, the new capital construction program includes $100 million for municipal and township governments to improve infrastructure at the local level. The funding, distributed and overseen by IDOT, will help communities throughout Illinois combat potholes and make other critical infrastructure repairs.

Two charged in accident MAGNOLIA – On July 19 the Putnam County Sheriff’s office responded to a report of a two-vehicle accident on Route 89 in Magnolia Township. A vehicle driven by Benja-

min Fogle, 24, of McNabb struck a vehicle driven by Gueury Bautista, 30, of Wenona. Fogle was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and DUI. Bautis-

ta was charged with driving revoked, DUI and DUI .08 or more. Fogle and Bautista were released on notice to appear tickets and given a Putnam County court date.

Taking my own pilgrimage I’ve been thinking a lot about pilgrimages lately, how we are all on them, whether we realize it or not. According to Webster’s Dictionary, a pilgrimage is a journey, especially a long one, made to a sacred place as an act of religious devotion. A pilgrimage can also be defined as simply the course of life on Earth. Though many of us may not have the opportunity, or develop that opportunity, to take a religious pilgrimage COMMENTARY to grow spiritually, there’s no question we are all on a pilgrimage that takes us day-by-day through life, with lots of experiences and time for self-discovery along the way. My interest in pilgrimages has been piqued in recent months, since last fall when our youngest daughter first started talking about taking a five-week pilgrimage across Spain, to walk the 500-mile El Camino de Santiago. She is on that pilgrimage now. Also known as the Way of St. James, the El Camino de Santiago generally begins on the border between France and Spain and ends in northwestern Spain at the shrine of the apostle St. James the Great in the area of Galicia. Pilgrims have been traveling the El Camino since Medieval times. We have talked with our daughter several times since she’s been in Spain. We’ve received text messages and photos from her most days, depending upon WiFi accessibility. Back home, on the coffee table in our living room, we now have a large map of Spain on which we are marking her journey. Though our daughter is the one actually making the El Camino, walking about 15-20 miles a day and carrying everything she has with her, about 15 pounds worth, in her backpack, in a way I am discovering more of my own pilgrimage as I listen to her stories. There are things to be learned on pilgrimages, whether they are taken in Spain or right in my home town. For one thing, when it comes right down to it, we probably have way too much stuff that we drag through life, materially and figuratively. Second, there’s something to be said about putting one foot in front of the other and just making it through the day sometimes. And then, there is a wisdom that comes by slowing down so you can see the petals on the flower a bit better, appreciate the sunset and think more quietly. As a parent, part of my pilgrimage is the continuing realization that I’m no longer in control of my kids’ lives. It’s time for me to step back and watch them explore and make their own choices. If I had my way, my kids and grandkids would all live much closer to me. As it turns out, no one even lives in the state. And that is OK because everyone has their own pilgrimage to take. Living with the idea of pilgrimage in mind can be a freeing thing, sort of a sorting and sifting of the important things in life. All things considered, maybe the most important thing about pilgrimage is not just the road we take but what we become along the way.

This is a photo of the Model As at the church for Russell (Coonie) Alleman Jr.’s funeral

Field of Dreams My oldest first cousin, Russell (Coonie) Alleman Jr., passed away on July 13. Our grandparents were Amos and Bertha (Kessler) Alleman. My father, Walter, and his father, Russell (Pat), were brothers. Coonie loved to laugh, always smiling and happy. I have fond memories of growing up with him in Tonica. Our families would get together several Sundays a year for dinner. Coonie could drive cars when he was very young. After dinner, we would take his cousins out in his dad’s Model A coupe with the rumble seat. We always went out east of Tonica on the gravel roads. Coonie was an excellent driver. I remember we would be going at what I thought was a high speed when somehow, he could turn that Model A right around in the loose gravel, and in seconds, we were travelling back in the opposite direction. It was a real thrill to be sitting in the rumble seat when this happened. Then Coonie would drive us back into town slowly and take another group of cousins out for the same ride. Our parents never knew about what dangerous happenings were going on with their children. The day after Coonie died, I was at the Peru Auto Electric Shop in

Peru. Several men were outside the shop and knew I was Coonie’s cousin. They all agreed no one knew Model A cars like Coonie did. At the Methodist Church in Tonica at Coonie’s funeral, his Model A car friends lined their coupes up by the church, then followed Coonie to the Tonica Cemetery. When they left the cemetery, each one gave Coonie a final salute by honking their Model A horns as they drove off. ••• My heartfelt thanks to the Carl Sauder family for continuing to host the Standard Tractor and Truck Pull after the tragic loss of their son, husband and father Dave.

PC/Hall wrestlers attend seminar

Putnam County Golf Invitational a success By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MCNABB — The annual Putnam County Golf Invitational was held July 26 at Edgewood Golf Course. The event was organized by Eric and Mandy Ciucci and proceeds were split between the Putnam County girls and boys golf teams as well as the Putnam County Athletic Boosters. Winners included: in the Men’s Division, first place was a tie at 15 under par with a 57 final score. The team of Kenny Wonder, Jeff Aimone, Steve Gabrielse Sr. and Steve Gabrielse Jr., along with the second team of Chris Cyr Charlie Judd Steve Harvey and Danny Herman, were the winners. In the Women’s Division, first place was a 70 score earned by the team of Christina Mennie, Kelly Sartain, Kathy Doyle and Jamie Cyr. In the Mixed Division, first place was won with a score of 60. The team of Craig and Amy Jessen and Harold and Amy Fay took the prize. The team that had the most fun was given to Team Lenkaitis, made up of Charlie Lenkaitis, Joe Lenkaitis, Albert Lenkaitis and Chad (Haage) Lenkaitis. The 50/50 drawing was held and won by Kent Zellmer, who donated the winnings back. Toni Lawley and Andrea Brannon assisted running the tournament. Eric Ciucci said, “The day was such a success. We are so humbled by the support for the Putnam County Golf Program. The girls golf team needs more uniforms so that is what was on our minds when we were planning. We are happy to say we will be able to get enough uniforms.”

GRANVILLE — Putnam County/Hall head wrestling coach Jerry Kriewald never stops looking for ways to assist his young team in getting better over the summer for winter competition. To this end, he went back to his alma matter the University of Dubuque and found another college professional to come give a seminar to his summer wrestlers this past week. Josh Terrell, one of the University of Dubuque’s assistant coaches and four time All American National Champ, worked with the PC/Hall wrestlers on various holds that they can use during the upcoming 2014-15 season. Terrell came to wrestling in his younger days after a family move. “I moved to a different town and my buddy down the street who is my best friend today still was involved in it. I wanted to check it out. I learned a lot in my first encounter and decided to pursue it,” he said. During his college days, Terrell assisted his coach give a seminar to PC/Hall wrestlers and was happy to come again on his own to help the young program train. This time around he introduced some different wrestling positions to the team and discussed tactical strategies that they can employ in future matches. “I shared some things that I have done and have had some success with,” Terrell said. “Its a little more intimate, being a small school and all. The kids can ask questions and get some immediate feedback which I hope will be helpful.” Terrell also focused on how a wrestler can defeat themself during a meet if they are not continually thinking in a positive way. “Its a 10-90 type of thing. Ten percent physical and 90 percent mental. So many kids can pysche themselves out or pump themselves up during a match. They are going to do what their mind tells them to do. It all starts up top,” he said. Charlie McCook, a soon to be freshman at Putnam County, enjoyed the camp and is looking forward to his first season on the team at the high school level. “We learned leg moves, some different things than before,” McCook said. “We also focused on how to think in a match.” Spring Valley’s Evan Kiphart, a junior at Hall, also has learned some new ways to approach a match.

James Terrell (standing) asks wrestlers Charlie McCook (top) and Mario Flores (bottom) to demonstrate a hold he is teaching during the two-day wrestling clinic he held for the PC/Hall Wrestling team. Terrell, an alumni of the University of Iowa, is a four time All-American collegiate wrestler. “We have learned a lot of leg riding and how to break your man down when you are on the mat. He also talked about how to get back points when you put him in a pin,” Kiphart said. “It the same as what we have learned, yet different in terms of approach and what you can do from each position. Everyone has their own ways of doing things and you can learn different things from different teachers. It’s not cut and dried or anything.”

Putnam County’s Sabotta keeps running By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MCNABB – For Jon Sabotta, a soon to be sophomore, it’s all about genetics. The “its” is running and Sabotta has been enjoying long distance running on Putnam County High School’s, (PCHS) Cross County and Track teams. “I think I started long distance running when I was about 8 or 9,” Sabotta said. “My grandpa and cousins kind of got me into it.” Sabotta’s grandpa, Bob Rehn, who is current president of the Starved Rock Runners Club, has assisted with their yearly running clinics for a while. Sabotta attended one and he was

hooked. At Putnam County Junior High School, Sabotta participated in track as there is no cross country team at that level. His events included the mile, the 800 meter race, the 4 x 400 meter, 4 x 100 meter and the 4 x 200 meter race were all his events. As Sabotta moved up to PCHS, he repeated his work on the track team in the one mile, two mile and the 4 x 800 meter and 4 x 400 meter events. He sees the two mile as his favorite and where his strengths are put to good use. As the 2013-14 school year progressed, Sabotta felt he was gaining in his running skill set. He credits his rise in abilities to his work on the

PCHS Cross Country team. His workouts vary depending on what type of race he is working towards. “I do a lot of 5Ks to keep in shape. I did one in Bloomington, I did the Hennepin July 4th one, I did the Steamboat Classic and one in Minonk,” he said. Sabotta runs three to four miles a day almost every day. Having recently attended the University of Illinois Cross Country camp, Sabotta got to work with a new group of runners to improve himself. “At the U of I cross country camp we would wake up at 6:45 every day and go for a run of between 6-8 miles. We would run at Lake of the Woods near Mahomet,

at the colleges cross country course, around the campus,” he said. “Then we would Sabotta eat breakfast and listen to a speaker talk to us about different aspects in running. And then on July 23, all of the campers had a race on the U of I cross country course.” At the very heart of his running however, is his ability to set priorities for himself. “You just have to set priorities. For me during the school year it’s grades. then running,” he said. “But when I’m not in school, I like to put running first.”
