‘Tick’-ing time bomb
Lori Sprung encourages action after her life-altering bout with Lyme disease By Eric Engel
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on Lyme disease. It doesn’t always take a huge event to change your life. In Lori Sprung’s case, it only took a deer tick the size of a pencil point to change hers. Sprung, a paraprofessional for the LaMoille School District, was sitting out in a pasture waiting for a cow to have a calf back
in March 2003. She went about her business in the following months, but one day in late May of the same year, she unexpectedly woke with stiff wrists ... and the mysterious pain proceeded to dictate all aspects of her being. “The pain just got worse, and my right ankle starting hurting really badly,” said Sprung, who was working in Dixon for Lee County special education at the time. “It progressed from my right ankle to my left
ankle, then up my knees to my hips. It got so bad I couldn’t even sit in a chair without dropping down because my ankles were so swollen.” Sprung, a LaMoille resident, began researching all the possibilities of what was ailing her, because by June 2003, she could not even walk without terrible pain. She went to her doctor on June 3, and he put her on anti-inflammatory medication and told her to return at the end of
the month. It is said that time heals all wounds, but Sprung decided the time to act had arrived. “A storm was rolling in, and while trying to get a few things indoors, I fell and hurt my good knee, which made everything worse,” said Sprung, who described pain so intense that it severely limited her body control. “The school nurse said, ‘Call the doctor and tell him you want a Lyme test.’ So I called the hospital and they eventu-
Lori Sprung ally confirmed it was Lyme disease.” Sprung went to the
emergency room and was put on strong IV medication that very night. She was diagnosed with second stage Lyme disease, and received IV therapy every day for three straight weeks before being put on an oral antibiotic for two weeks after that. Sprung assumes she may have been bitten by a deer tick out in that pasture, but never noticed the signature bulls-eye rash associated with Lyme disease, hence her lack of initial action. “I want to thank the doctor in the emergency

Of water and wheels Ottawa Firefighters Local 523 hosts international motorcycle rally By Eric Engel

Firefighters understand the balance and focus necessary during operation. They are fine-tuned on the speed of ignition and the importance of every component to be firing on all cylinders. They caution against reckless behavior and dedicate their lives to grasping every hand they can as they fly toward the open road to freedom. It’s no wonder so many of them ride motorcycles. Ottawa Firefighters Local 523 hosted the 2015 International Association of Fire Fighters - Motorcycle Group national rally Thursday, July 30, and around 300 bikers motored into Central Illinois. Adam Wampler, a Local 523 firefighter for 11 years, likened the celebration to a family reunion. “It’s awesome that it all came together,” said Wampler, voicing his excitement about Ottawa Local 523 pulling the event, seeing as they are the smallest department ever to host with only 27 firefighters on staff. “No one is a stranger because we all do the same job, so an instant

Tasha, a rescued Pitbull mixed breed, sails over the hurdles during an agility dog demonstration at the Putnam County Community Center in Standard. Trainer Jen Rhodes had several dogs there who ran the agility course, caught discs and helped show the importance of training. Lucky audience members helped guide the dogs through the course and throw discs.

STANDARD — The crowd of approximately 40 people at the Putnam County Community Center broke into applause and cheered as Chase, a
Keeping best friends together Border Collie, charged toward the obstacle and effortlessly cleared a high jump which was several feet high. They were equally impressed as he darted back and forth, leaping into the air and catching discs thrown by
his owner/trainer. With every throw, Chase was exactly where he needed to be in order to make the catch. Jen Rhodes was initiated into the world of dog training when she was 12. Her family raised Cocker
Spaniels, but when she brought home a puppy who was going to grow up to be a big farm dog, her mother wanted her to take it back. “But, my dad said I could keep it if I trained it, and I did. It’s been a
passion of mine since,” said Rhodes, who began showing her family’s dogs and also training police dogs with the woman who taught her how to train.

“I’d already been training for years when the hype for having certification came about, but I went online and got certified. There are schools now, but I learned everything hands on,” said Rhodes. Rhodes has a 100 percent success rate of dogs she’s trained passing their Canine Good Citizen test or Therapy Dog International test. So far, 108 dogs have received their certifications. “I deal with aggressive dogs all the way down to the most meek and mild dogs you’ll see,” said Rhodes. She additionally trains dogs to high jump and run agility courses along with basic obedience. There are multiple

vets and rescuers who call her to help recondition abused dogs, so they have a chance of being adopted into a loving home. “If for some reason you get hurt, get ill or die, what’s going to happen to your dog if it’s not social? Who can adopt? Most dog lovers willing to take on another dog need it to be dog social. There are rescues in the area which won’t even take dogs who aren’t social with other dogs, so I’m really a stickler about socialization,” said Rhodes. Rhodes not only conducts training at her residence in LaMoille, but will also travel to the homes of dog owners to help with obedience issues in familiar surroundings. She’s been training as a business for four years and has seen a
steady increase in business. She started with 175 contracts (in-home accounts) and is now up to over 5,000. “It’s all about how much time and energy you put in with your dog and how much bonding there is. You’ve got to teach a dog, and it all comes from positive reinforcement. We do nothing negative with our dogs; it’s all positive,” said Rhodes. Rhodes has also created “Paws for a Cause,” a charity event which benefits different causes each year. This year it will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, in LaMoille and will benefit two groups; Pit Crew, a Pit Bull rescue group in Chicago, and Bishop’s Small Dog Rescue in Wyanet. Together with her training partner, Brian Funk, the event will
include agility, high jump and disc demonstrations, safety awareness, children and adult games, a 50/50 drawing, door prizes, a bake sale, vendors, costume and cute dog contests, a raffle and more. Both groups will have adoptable dogs present, and shirts commemorating each group are available by pre-ordering. While Rhodes’ and Funk’s agility dogs have a seemingly desperate, high energy need to focus on work or play as they streak through the course and endear themselves to all who see them during demonstrations, it’s Abbie, a rescued Rottweiler, who can really pull the heart strings. She’s only 5, but double knee surgeries left her with the stiff walk of an older dog. She’s a certified therapy dog, and she helped prove their
importance while visiting Woodhaven after the tornado devastation. While being escorted through the debris, Rhodes and Abbie came upon a small, older woman who had just seen the remains of her home for the first time. Half of her house was standing, and the other half was in pieces in her neighbor’s yard. “The woman dropped to her knees, wrapped her arms around Abbie and burying her face in her shoulder, cried,” said Rhodes. When the woman had finished crying, she stood and leaned over to give Abbie a kiss. Abbie responded with a full face worth of kisses to help console her. For more information on both dog training and “Paws for a Cause” contact Jen Rhodes at 815762-6420.
later told my son, David, that his mom probably wouldn’t have been here at Christmas if she hadn’t gotten something done.” Sprung started feeling better by the end of Summer 2003, but is still wary even today if out in the forest or a
grassy area, and always checks herself and her children for ticks after being in settings where ticks thrive. She felt blessed by the support she received throughout her experience, saying she was surrounded by wonderful people as she recovered, friend and
stranger alike. “If you’re worried about something, get it checked out, and if your doctor doesn’t listen to you, find a new doctor,” said Sprung, who gained wisdom through her weakness. “It was tough. I’ll never forget that year.”

The 30th anniversary of the I&M Canal National Heritage Area
From Page 1 bond is felt.” Wampler said riders from Maine to Alaska; from Florida to California all converge for the rally, with terminators of flame cruising in from Canada, Mexico and even British Columbia. Bill Stewart, an 11-year owner of Uncle Stewy’s Roadhouse in Spring Valley, wanted to show his appreciation for their profession by feeding the road warriors on their way through town. “Any time we can bring a group in, especially an international firefighters union, it’s right up my alley,” said Stewart, who has ridden motorcycles his whole life and relishes visitors who do what they love. “We’re not just a bar but an experience, so we bring them in and show them a good time because we have to take care of our fire and police departments.” Stewart had a food vendor blow him off at the last second and had to borrow a fire truck from the Seatonville Fire Department to set the stage, but he wasn’t going to let any sticks get in the wheel spokes during Thursday’s poker run. He grabbed some pork chops and lit up the grills for the bikers, who enjoyed live music by Jimmy Essl and a dunk tank on the patio, which
caught many more strikes from the ladies than from the fellas. All proceeds from the dunk tank went to the Spring Valley Park Board. Greg Gollner and his wife, Patty, showed up in style, riding a Polaris Slingshot motorcycle, a tripod instrument that allows driver and passenger to sit side by side and catches the eye even on a street full of stunning two-wheelers. Gollner spent 27 years under the smoke at the Greenfield, Wisconsin Local 1963 before retiring eight years ago, and now explores the landscape in his Slingshot, which affords Patty greater comfort despite her multiple sclerosis. “It’s awesome to be part of the brotherhood extended from the fire department to motorcycles,” Gollner said. Rodney Lange, a 31-year veteran of the Princeton
Fire Department who retired five years back, and Nick Vujanov, who is 10 years into his service for the PFD, enjoyed their first rally Thursday. “This is beautiful weather for riding, and it’s cool to see the brotherhood coming together,” said Vujanov, a fan of the crowd and the cause. “We’re meeting new people at a global event, and yet it’s so close to home.” The IAFF-MG Ninth National Rally points included Boondocks in Seneca, downtown Utica, Uncle Stewy’s Roadhouse in Spring Valley, Psycho Silo Saloon in Langley (outside of Sheffield) and the Gunsmoke Grill in Cedar Point. The rally ended at H2O Bar & Grill in Ottawa, where firefighters enjoyed a pig roast and live music to conclude the festivities, and one lucky rider went home with a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street Glide won by raffle.

and the birthplace of the Prairie Restoration movement. The second caravan will take place the following Saturday, Aug. 15. The first stop, Isle a la Cache in Romeoville, will transport “caravaners” back to the 1600s when French fur traders first explored the area. From there it’s on to view the collection of photos and documents about the canal’s early history at the I&M Canal Adelmann Archives at Lewis University near Lockport. In nearby downtown Joliet, the caravans will take the walking tour that winds through the ruins of the old Joliet steel mill. After lunch there will be an exclusive, behind the scenes tour at Brandon Lock and Dam in Joliet, followed by a visit to I&M canal locks 6 and 7, as well as the dam and locktenders house at Channahon State Park. The day finishes off with a tour of the historic Evergreen Cemetery in Morris. The third and final caravan will take place on Saturday, Aug. 22, beginning with a visit to the Carbon Hill School Museum, then on to a tour and hike through the breathtaking Goose Lake Prairie. At Gebhard Woods the group will learn about the management of the I&M Canal by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. After lunch, a “behind the scenes” tour of the Marseilles Hydroelectric plant, followed by panoramic views of the Illinois River at Buffalo Rock State Park, will be featured. The final site of the third caravan will be a stop at the Illinois Waterway Center to witness the mighty waterway that was built to replace the I&M Canal. Afterwards, join the CCA for a cocktail party at the Lock 16 Center in downtown LaSalle celebrating the closing of the 30th anniversary year. Those interested in additional information about the I&M Canal National Heritage Area or the canal caravans can visit www.canalcor.org or call 815-223-1851.
The Canal Corridor Association (CCA) will culminate its year-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the nation’s first Heritage Area with three caravans along the I&M Canal. These three opportunities to explore the I&M Canal Area between Chicago and LaSalle will take place in August and highlight 20 locations unique to Illinois history, each including its own guided tour. “We are proud to offer these caravans as an opportunity to ‘taste’ the experiences available in the I&M Canal National Heritage Area,” said Ana Koval, AICP, president of the CCA. “It’s important for Illinois residents to discover history and explore nature in their own backyard. We’re urging folks to fill their cars with friends and family, and join the CCA in a day of good, old-fashioned road trip fun.” Last fall, the CCA kicked off the 30th anniversary celebration with a two-day caravan that visited 15 different sites. This event was a tremendous success, and attracted more than 170 participants. This year’s one-day caravans will take place on three consecutive Saturdays, Aug. 8, 15 and 22. Registration is required, and can be completed by visiting www.canalcor.org, or by calling 815-223-1851. Scheduled stops will include the following locations and options: On Saturday, Aug. 8, the caravan starts with a tour of the canal’s eastern terminus at Origins Park, and will include a walking tour of Bronzeville, followed by a soul-food lunch at Pearl’s Place and a walking tour of the Pullman National Monument. At that point, everyone will hop back in their cars and head to the Chicago Portage National Historic Site in Lyons for a guided tour of Chicago’s Birthplace. The first caravan finishes with a cookout at the Santa Fe Prairie, an oasis of nature in an urban atmosphere

Tractors head back to Grand Ridge Stirling joins Illinois Valley Farm GRAND RIDGE — The small village on the prairie will come alive with antique/ vintage tractors on Friday, Aug. 14. The annual Grand Ridge Community Fest will be held this year Aug. 13-16 with the Ridge Roundup tractor event starting on Friday. Tractors from all around will travel to this popular show. Last year some 140 tractors were on display for Fest visitors on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday morning, some of the tractors will leave the Ridge at 8 a.m. for the 30-mile ride around the neighborhood. There will be two stops along the way with coffee and doughnuts sponsored by First Farm Credit at the first one and homemade cookies and water and soda sponsored by Coval Creek Farms, served at the second stop before heading back to the Ridge around noon. The Ridge Roundup event was started back in 2006 with a few tractors being brought to town by local enthusiasts like the Zachary family, the Liar family, Ron “Chaser” Hill for people to see. The tractors were parked behind the fire station at that time. Visitors to the village’s event seemed to like seeing the vintage tractors, so a few of the owners got together and started the show. It has grown in popularity with tractor owners and there are now some exhibitors that
travel a good distance to show their units. When the tractor exhibitors register they are given a “goodie” bag which includes a dash plaque. Those who travel on the tractor ride on Saturday will have their choice of a hat or a dash plaque as well. In 2010, a tractor ride was started. These rides are held on Saturday morning with registration beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the group leaves at 8 a.m. on their 30-mile ride. The tractors run 8-10 mph with the faster units leading the group. A dyno diagnostic station will be available for those tractor owners that want to test their unit’s power on Saturday and Sunday. This service is sponsored by Ron Welch. On Saturday night, at the Grand Ridge Fire Station, a pork chop dinner is served and a live auction is held. The items that are donated to the Ridge Roundup Tractor Show/Run are included in this live auction and all proceeds go to the Utica and Grand Ridge fire departments for needed equipment. On Sunday, there is a great parade, and some of the tractor owners also enter this fun event which starts at 1 p.m. For more information, call Ron “Chaser” Hill at 815-795-7888.
Master showmanship contest slated BLOOMINGTON — The Illinois Farm Bureau and RFD Radio Network will host the Illinois Master Showmanship Contest Friday, Aug. 14, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Junior Livestock Barn on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The Master Showmanship Contest recognizes 4-H youth who have excelled at showing animals at their respective county fairs. The members will be judged on their handling of each of
three species of animals: Beef, sheep and swine. They also are quizzed by judges on their knowledge of animal husbandry and livestock production. More than $8,000 worth of prizes donated by sponsors will be given away this year. A winner from each species will receive $100 and various prizes. Three top winners overall will receive $500, $300 or $200, a new showbox, director’s chairs and various priz-
es. In addition, all participants will receive a T-shirt and prize for their hard work. Winners will be available for pictures and interviews following the award ceremony at the conclusion of the competition. 2015 marks the 16th year for the contest. It was started by farm broadcasters in Illinois as a way to recognize outstanding youth and provide a state forum for the competition.
PMH receives emergency stroke ready hospital designation PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton, the first hospital in the Interstate 80 corridor to be designated as Emergent Stroke Ready, has received its re-designation as an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital (ESRH) from the Illinois Department of Public Health. “This re-designation ensures that all stroke patients, regardless of where they live, have access to rapid care within the narrow treatment window,” said Rex Conger, CEO. Stroke re-designation for Perry Memorial Hospital means that patients will continue to have local access to the care needed beginning the moment they enter the hospital to the time the life-saving drug is administered within the recommended 60-minute treatment window. In 2009, the Illinois General Assembly passed MB2244, allowing the creation of stroke systems of care in Illinois. The law identifies hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directs
EMS to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals. If, however, the closest hospital has not received its Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital designation, EMS personnel may divert that patient to the next closest designated hospital. As an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital, PMH has a telehealth connection with a neurologist at one or more larger primary stroke hospitals within the state. This telehealth connection allows the specialist to evaluate the patient and make treatment recommendations. “To receive re-designation, the hospital had to submit our quality plan and emergency department stroke log attesting that we are meeting the time requirements set forth in the law,” stated Conger. Perry Memorial Hospital was the first hospital in the area to receive emergent stroke ready designation and is now the first to be offered and receive re-designation status.

City Bank’s achievement is a result of its commitment to community banking and values. By focusing on the financial needs of local families and businesses, Spring Valley City Bank has in turn, charted its own path.

IVCH receives CAP accreditation PERU — The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Illinois Valley Community Hospital based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s accreditation program. The CAP accreditation letter congratulated Karen Ravnikar, the IVCH lab’s administrative director, and medical director Dr. Manual Doria for “the excellence of the services being provided.” The IVCH laboratory is one of more than 7,800 CAP-accredited labs worldwide. The U.S. federal govern-
ment recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal to or more stringent-than the government’s own inspection program. During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
Valley Radiation Oncology participating in National Veterans Choice Program PERU — Valley Radiation Oncology announced it will participate as an oncology provider for the national Veterans Choice Program (VCP). Valley Radiation Oncology is part of Vantage Oncology LLC, a leading national provider of radiation oncology services and integrated cancer care, which operates more than 50 treatment facilities in 14 states. The center is currently accepting radiation oncology patients through the program. The Veterans Access, Choice, Accountability Act (VACAA) of 2014 is a law that expands the number of options veterans have for receiving and ensuring they have timely access to high-quality care. The VCP provides primary care, inpatient and outpatient specialty care, and mental health care for eligible veterans when the local Veterans
Administration Medical Center (VAMC) cannot provide the services due the lack of available specialists, long wait times (30 days or more) and extraordinary distance (40 miles or more) from the veteran’s home. A veteran’s out-ofpocket expense will be the same as if they received treatment at their local VA facility. “We are excited and honored to participate in the VCP as a national oncology service provider for our nation’s heroes. Our mission is provide veterans timely and convenient access to advanced, lifesaving cancer care at our specialized facilities so that they are afforded the best opportunity to beat their disease,” said Michael Fiore, chairman and chief executive officer of Vantage Oncology. Beginning in November 2014, a new VA Choice
Program card was sent to eligible veterans enrolled in VA health care and who seek non-VA health care. Eligible veterans are required to contact Health Net Federal Services LLC (Health Net) or TriWest Healthcare Alliance to obtain authorization for all medical care under the VCP. The VCP allows a veteran to choose a non-network provider when one is not available, or has a preference for another provider. Once the veteran contacts a Vantage Oncology treatment facility, he or she will be provided information about the physician and facility so that it can be submitted for approval. For more information about Vantage Oncology and its centers’ participation in the Veterans Choice Program, call 815224-5511 or visit them at www.vantageoncology. com/veterans.

Just one more night ... Where is everybody? OK, I know it’s been hot recently, but that never stopped us before. And actually, the heat was what took us to our happy place many years ago. Why aren’t people doing that anymore? The happy place I’m talking about varies for each one of us, but predominantly, I’m speaking of the front porch ... or is it your side porch, your back porch, your patio, your deck, your terrace? Either way, I’ve been noticing way too many vacant areas — absent of people and quiet conversations. I don’t know about you, but I Terri Simon miss that ... I have no room to criticize. Even though I’m in the throes of some construction work at my home, my front porch has yet to see me visit this summer. That also goes for my deck and my patio and my terrace. Sounds a bit absurd, but I have to wonder if those coveted areas of my home miss me as much as I miss them. I think if I asked for a show of hands, I wouldn’t be in the minority. Seldom do I see people sitting on their outside areas as the sun slips below the horizon and the moon works tirelessly to light up the sky. As I reflect, those were sacred moments in my life ... Do you remember? The sticky, sultry heat inside the old farmhouse was nearly unbearable. Even with a box fan whirling in the window like soldiers marching into battle, the only breeze it created was equally as sticky and sultry. After the dinner dishes had been put away, our baths had been taken and our baby-doll pajamas had been put on ... nobody had to tell any of us where to go or what to do. We headed to the side porch, where the evening seemed to gladly greet us. With the adults sitting in old rickety lawn chairs, the scratchy cement under our bare legs didn’t seem to bother us kids, as we sprawled on the porch like a bunch of lazy coon hounds. Inevitably, my grandmother would be fanning herself with a paper fan that had the local funeral home’s logo printed on it, and the crickets launched their serenade without asking for requests. Glass mayonnaise jars with holes punched in the top were just waiting for the lightning bugs to appear, and somewhere in the distance, a dog barked and a coyote howled. As the night wore on, I remember how the voices became hushed — almost as if nobody wanted to disturb the night. The conversations were as deep or as shallow as the mood; as children, we took it all in, listening quietly to a host of topics and ironically learning about life in the process. Often nobody spoke at all, leaving each other alone with their thoughts. Nobody had to tell us to be quiet or to mind our manners, rather we learned early on to respect the night and all it had to offer. As our eyes grew heavy from long days of chores and playing on the farm, we’d crawl up into a lap, nestling our hot little bodies into welcoming arms. I remember pats on my back — a gentle swaying back and forth. I remember placing my ear to my grandmother’s chest and listening to her words vibrate through her body ... ultimately urging me to sleep. What I wouldn’t give for just one more night on that porch with the people I love. While many now watch me from above — as I run through this crazy life of mine — seldom taking time to appreciate the summer nights, I have to think they smile down on me when I throw deadlines, chaos and all the hectic aspects of my life to the sticky, sultry wind and actually settle down into the comfort of a summer night with those I love. Porches, decks, patios ... They shouldn’t be empty in the summer. They should be filled with memory-making moments, shared with those you love and cherish. They should hold hushed voices, quiet thoughts ... and mayonnaise jars with lightning bugs. All brought together with the crickets’ serenade.

Field of Dreams The Magnolia Grange #179 was organized on February 13, 1873, at the Clear Creek School in Magnolia Township of Putnam County. The Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was a national fraternal organization with its major purpose being the advancement of agriculture and the interests of those people pursuing the vocation. The first membership consisted of both women and men. They were Master John Swaney, secretary Amos B. Wilson, Thomas Flower, Sarah Swaney, David Swaney, Mary Ann Swaney, Anna Morris, Sarah Hoyle, Pusey Mills, Joseph Mills, Oliver Wilson, Oliver Smith, Gustav Otto, Louis Beck and a few more local citizens. Several of their descendants still live in this area. In the 1880s, the Grange operated a store where staples were sold. This merchandise was brought from the Illinois Central Railroad at Tonica by the U.S. Mail Service. The merchandise included binder twine, feed, flour, maple syrup and dried fruits. From 1882 until 1922, Magnolia Grange ran an annual agricultural fair, which became one of the major attractions of the entire area. In 1922, the Grange Fair was discontinued and its members devoted their energies to the newly-organized Marshall-Putnam Fair. The Grange held dances, suppers, plays and lectures providing good and wholesome entertainment for the community. A male quartet was composed of Bob Whitney, Maurice McGhiey, Rich Forney and Harold Carr. This group won honors at the National Grange, held in Vermont in the 1980s. One of its charter members, Oliver Wilson, became Master of the National Grange. Here is a partial list of the Magnolia Grange’s past masters. There have been 55 masters from the beginning until 2002: John Swaney, Oliver Wilson, Henry C. Mills, James Taggart, Oliver Smith, Amos Wilson, Walter G. Griffith,

These men and women represent the diversity of leadership of this organization in the Clear Creek area over the past 130 years, as transportation facilities improved and the opportunities for recreation became more diversified, membership in Magnolia Grange declined. The building and grounds were deeded to the Clear Creek Magnolia area Preservation Council in 2002.
The organization maintained the historic old building and hosted an annual fair for several years in July. The hall has set there for several years now, without repairs. It is going to perish if it is not repaired soon. A small group of concerned Putnam County citizens are trying to form a committee to save the historical building. They include Daniel Kuhn, Terry Judd, Angie Glenn and Richard Ashdown. We are looking for more members, donations and donated labor to at least secure this great historical building. ••• Question: What 10 parts of the body have only three letters in their names? Please let me know if you think you know the answer. The answer will be in next week’s article. ••• Once more our community has lost a member of the greatest generation, Jim Hubert Whitaker. I visited Jim a week before he died. I am grateful for the conversation we had. I first met Jim when he worked at the Standard Elevator with Lyle Young. I later wrote his veteran story, when he served in the United States Army at the end of World War II in occupied Japan. It was a great privilege to have known Jim.

Jackson and Doug Hall of DeKalb, Mo., wait for high winds to die down Sunday, Aug. 2, at Lake DePue.
DEPUE — For the second straight year, the weather played a factor at the U.S. Title Series of the PRO National Championship boat races at Lake DePue Sunday, Aug. 2, as high winds caused a four-hour delay before race officials deemed conditions as too treacherous for the races. Although winds shortened the Sunday schedule last year, this is the first time in the 31 years of the event officials can recall the entire slate of races for a day being cancelled. “Our No. 1 priority here is safety, and right now the wind is coming out of the southwest and that’s right at the mouth of the lake and it makes the lake, especially coming out of the first turn, really dangerous with the high speeds these boats travel at,” Alan Bosnich of the DePue Men’s Club said. Weather conditions started coming into play before the races could even begin as an unusually wet spring and summer had water levels in the lake dangerously high. For the safety of the crew and drivers, the high water levels forced race officials to take the pit areas from the shoreline of Lake DePue to the residential areas that line the lakeside. “We delayed the start of the races as long as we could, but we wanted to make sure that we got everyone home and on their way safe because we don’t want to take the chances of getting anyone hurt,” added Bosnich. Doug Hall, of Dekalb, Md., claimed his 16th national title on Friday in the 500cc Hydro, as he was the only one to finish all heats in the division. “It’s been different this year. Usually they worry about having enough water and this year they have too much, and now we’re playing the waiting game not knowing if the races will continue so that’s a challenge for drivers to overcome,” Hall said. He would go on to add his 17th national title to his mantle on Saturday, Aug. 1, in 700cc Hydro, but was denied a chance for another title on Sunday.
“DePue is special. You come here and run for a national championship and there are guys coming from all over to compete. You’re running against the best guys in the country here so you know the competition is going to be competitive,” Hall said. “It’s always good to win another national championship. I came here as a toddler being held on my mother’s hip so being able to come here, compete and especially win is something special.” DePue’s Paul Bosnich III took sixth place in the 250 cc Runabout while Ladd native Steve Niesen grabbed fourth place in the 175 CC Hydro, which was good enough to best DePue’s Jake Quesse, who placed ninth. More than $20,000 in cash and prizes was up for grabs over the weekend but with the cancellation of Sunday’s races, what to do with the prizes will become an issue the DePue Men’s Club will have to discuss at a later date. “This has been a challenging year for us with the high water and now the high winds. This is obviously a fund generator for us and we’ll take a hit, but we’ll have to figure out at a later date if prizes will roll over to next year or what exactly we will do with those prizes,” Alan Bosnich said. “We just want to be fair and continue to please our fans; we’re the fastest thing in the Illinois Valley and we’re proud of that.” Results: Although the weather didn’t permit Sunday’s races, a full slate of racing happened on Friday and Saturday with national champions being named in numerous weight classes: 700 cc roundabout Andrew Thirlby of Interlochen, Mich; 125 cc runabout Tim Small of Lighthouse Point, Fla.; C service Runabout, Justin Gibson of Washington, Ill,; OSY 400 Hydro, Bob Cronin of Candia, Neb.; C Racing Runabout, Jack Campbell III of Culver, Ind.; 250 cc Runabout, Tim Small; 350 cc Hydro, Jamie Nilsen; 175 cc Hydro, Jon Wienandt of Port Royal, S.C.; 500 cc Runabout, Derek Gesler of Belle Plaine, Minn.; and C Racing Runabout, Jack Campbell III.

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sept. 10 PERU — The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting area residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place Thursday, Sept. 10, at Baker Lake in Peru. Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. It is an experience for participants in LaSalle County who will learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and clinical studies enrollment to support programs and services. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with the poignant
Promise Garden ceremony. In addition to the walk, participants will hear personal stories about the effects this disease has on families and interact with others who understand the stress Alzheimer’s puts on all family members. Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s more than 5 million Americans to as many as 16 million by 2050. To start or join a team today, visit the Alzheimer’s Association alz. org/walk. To learn more about the disease and available resources, call the toll-free Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.

Marshall-Putnam 4-H royalty crowned HENRY — Marshall-Putnam 4-H crowned their new royalty for 2015-16 on July 14 during the 4-H Show. This year’s royalty is Bobbi Toepper and Dylan Herridge. Toepper is the daughter of Randy and Lori Toepper of Magnolia. She is 17 years old, has been in 4-H for nine years and is a member of the Bell Plain Hustlers. Her best 4-H experiences have come from showing livestock. She says it has taught her hard work, responsibility and determination. But when asked the most important thing she has learned, Toepper says “to not demand the glory of winning but to appreciate the product of my toil.” She is a recent graduate and valedictorian of Midland High School. She will be attending University of Illinois in the fall to study ag and bio engineering and she will also be living in the 4-H House. Herridge is the son of Bill and Missy Herridge of Lacon. He is 17 years old, has been a part of 4-H for eight years and is also a member of the Bell Plain Hustlers. His favorite part of 4-H is the friendships he has made. He says he looks forward to the 4-H show every year so he can spend time

Agricultural museum open house includes John Deere presentation by John Morthland
Remember us? The PCHS Class of 2005 will hold its 10th reunion on Saturday, Aug. 15.
PCHS Class of 2005 plans reunion GRANVILLE — The Putnam County High School Class of 2005 will host its 10-year reunion on Saturday, Aug. 15. The reunion will begin at 3 p.m. with a cookout at Hopkins Park in Granville. Classmates are welcome to bring their significant others and
children. The cost will be $5 per person, and all attendees are asked to also bring chips or a side dish to share. The teachers and staff who helped propel the Class of 2005 to greatness during their four years at PCHS are invited as well. The cookout will
end at 7:30 p.m. After the cookout, there will be bus transportation to and from local bars. The cost will be $20 to join the bar crawl, plus drinks. For more information on the bar crawl, email Daniel Shore at danielshore86@ gmail.com.
Back to school party set for Aug. 21 HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Park District will sponsor its annual Putnam County Junior High Back to School Party from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. Grades 6-8 are invited. The cost of this activity is $5.
Everyone must be in a swimming suit to be on deck. No one will be allowed to leave without their parents present or a signed invitation or note. The cost includes swimming, pizza, soda and door prize.
Contests and races will be offered with winner receiving prizes. For more information, contact the Hennepin pool at 815-925-7319 or e-mail hennepinparkdistrict@ mchsi.com.
HENNEPIN — The annual agricultural museum open house of the Putnam County Historical Society will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16, at 501 Old Highway 26, Hennepin. Local collectors will display antique tractors and vehicles as usual. The permanent displays are agricultural equipment and tools, wildlife, coal mining and military memorabilia, early 1900s general store, post office, one room school and farm kitchen. At 1 p.m., Richard Morthland, a Road Scholar with the Illinois Humanities Council, will present “He Gave the World the Steel Plow: The John Deere Story.” Join Morthland – farmer, teacher, and seasoned speaker – as he portrays Deere, inviting audiences to ponder not only the history lessons to be learned from his career, but also the human lessons to be learned from his life. John Deere’s agricultural innovations, especially the self-scouring steel plow, monumentally impacted farming methods during the formative
years of the United States, making expansion into the vast prairies and plains of Middle America possible. The magnitude of Deere’s contributions to technology and history is matched only by that of his personal character, which encompassed remarkable talents and virtues, profound flaws, and many internal contradictions. This presentation is supported by the Illinois Humanities Council’s Road Scholars Speakers Bureau, a program that provides organizations statewide with affordable, entertaining, and thought-provoking humanities events for their communities. Everyone is invited and admission is free. Pork chop lunches will be available for purchase. The agricultural museum is handicapped accessible. Pulsifer House (the historic house museum built in 1844) will also be open for tours. Pulsifer House is not handicapped accessible. For information, contact Luke Holly at lholly@ yahoo.com or Sid Whitaker at shwhitaker@starband.net or 815-303-5104.

Volunteer tutor training sessions planned OGLESBY — The I-READ Adult Literacy Program at Illinois Valley Community College will conduct free volunteer tutor training sessions in September. Volunteers must have a desire to work with adult learners and be willing to tutor two to three hours each week, but volunteers do not need to have teaching experience. Fifteen hours of training are required for all volunteer tutors. Training sessions will be at IVCC’s main campus in Oglesby from 1:30
to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 1, 8, 15 and 22, in Room CTC-216 or from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, Sept. 3, 10, 17 and 24, in Room CTC-125. Visiting an Adult Education classroom is an additional training component. After training, tutors are matched with learners age 17 or older who test below the ninth-grade level in reading or math or who need to improve their English language skills. Volunteers may choose to tutor in one-to-one sessions at a local library or in
small-group or group sessions at an Adult Education classroom in the IVCC district. Free online tutor training is another option for volunteers whose schedules do not allow them to participate in the fall training sessions. For information on the I-READ program, visit www.ivcc.edu/ adulted. To register for the training sessions, contact Angela Dunlap, program manager, at 815-224-0372 or Chris Warren, program specialist, at 815-224-0345.

Cyclists to bike for Ag in Classroom Event will be held Sept. 7-10 CHAMPAIGN — Cyclists will travel through a three-county area of east-central Illinois during the 20th annual Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) Bike Ride. This cross-country style ride Sept. 7-10, is an annual fundraiser hosted by the IAA Foundation to support the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program. The ride has enjoyed a rich history and will conclude its tenure with this year’s event. This IAITC Bike Ride finale year highlights routes through Champaign, Ford and Vermilion counties, with lodging in the Champaign area. “We are extremely excited that the bike ride
is coming to our area this year,” said Brad Uken, manager, Champaign County Farm Bureau. “Champaign County was part of the original IAITC Bike Ride, so it’s fitting that it’s part of the final ride.” Riders can participate for one or multiple days and can choose from routes that run about 40 to 80 miles. Vehicle road support and safely scouted, marked routes are planned. Participation is flexible, desired riding speed averages 12-15 mph. “Rider safety is of utmost importance,” said Charlie Grotevant, bike ride co-chairman. “We spend a great deal of time planning the best possible routes for great riding and great views of the countryside. That’s one of the reasons we’ve had such a great following for 19 years now.”
Along the bike route, cyclists stop at schools where interactive student assemblies are held. Cyclists and IAITC staff and volunteers tell students the important story of agriculture. Equally important, students are reminded about bicycle safety from this group of “professionals.” Evenings are spent experiencing local sites, family farms and meals. The IAA Foundation is now taking registrations to participate in this year’s event, with registration discounts for riders who raise funds for IAITC. Raising $1,000 or more earns a free full ride; raising $500 earns a 50 percent discount on registration and a free book pack; and those who raise $250 receive a 25 percent discount on registration. More details on event registration
and how to raise funds to support your ride are available online at www.iaafoundation.org or by calling Jennifer Smith, program manager, IAA Foundation, at 309-557-2230. IAITC is dedicated to teaching students the role that farmers and agriculture plays in every day lives. Participation in events like the IAITC Bike Ride helps raise funds to continue agriculture literacy programs and provide free resources to teachers in the classroom. IAITC is the top funding priority of the IAA Foundation, Illinois Farm Bureau’s charitable foundation, which funds educational, research, and charitable activities that benefit Illinois farm families and agriculture.
4-H From Page 8 and textiles, foods, miscellaneous and livestock. In addition to a blue, red or white ribbon, the judges also selected trophy winners, state fair winners and state fair alternates. Wednesday night was the sale of champions and pie/ plant auction. The auction was sponsored by the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Beef Improvement Association. It is a great honor for a 4-H’er to win the right to sell his/her animal at the sale of champions. The winner of the grand champion steer provides watermelon for all to enjoy. The Federation members sign up to make pies to be auctioned off during the sale of champions. The pies are put into a collectable ceramic pie plate. There are only 13 ceramic pie plates made each year just for the Marshall-Putnam 4-H Show. This year the Federation members had a part in glaz-
ing the pie plates with Ann Crosby of Annie’s Little Pots in Princeton. A pie can go for more than $500. The raffle item this year was a Kindle Fire, and the winner was the Theesfield family of Rutland. Of course the show does not go on without the help of many volunteers. The volunteers work many positions such as judges, assistant judges, superintendents, junior superintendents, set up and take down, cleaning crew, building supervisors, blood drive helpers and pie makers. “I am so grateful to each and every one of you,” said Anne Scheel, program coordinator, 4-H and youth development. “It also takes many sponsors to pull off a show like this. We appreciate your commitment to the Marshall-Putnam 4-H program and the youth served in our counties.” To view a list of all the show results and sponsors, visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/mp4h/4266. html.

Another Blue Star banner displayed in Mark Copeland joins the U.S. Army By Ron Bluemer Special to the Putnam County Record
MARK — Another young man from Mark has joined the Armed Forces. R.J. Copeland, 18, was recently sworn in to the U.S. Army. He graduated from Putnam County High School in 2015. He was active in sports and played baseball, basketball and wrestled. According to his parents, “He loved to fish, play baseball and ride his bike.” Pvt. Copeland’s father, Rollen, is employed at a local trucking company, and his mother, Robin, is a teacher’s aide at the Putnam County Primary School in Granville. When asked what motivated him to join the Army, his father, who is also a part-time Granville police officer, said his son was ready to enroll in the police curriculum at W.I.U. However, one day R.J. told his parents, “I want to serve my country.” That wish is coming true as the young man is currently an Army private. Pvt. Copeland hoped he would qualify for the Army

Several years ago, his family toured the beach at Normandy, and the young boy saw the many German fortifications constructed in World War II along the French coast to prevent an Allied invasion. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs between Omaha and Utah beaches at Normandy and captured Pointe du Hoc, a significant German strong point in their

IVCH earns ACR mammography accreditation PERU — Illinois Valley Community Hospital has been awarded a threeyear term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR
practice guidelines and technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The IVCH findings were reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which then gave the hospital’s diagnostic imaging department a comprehensive report to use for its continuous quality improvement program.
