Summer road work progressing Putnam County Board also receives bids on courthouse improvements By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Putnam County Highway Department engineer Pat Sloan reported during the Putnam County Board meeting on Aug. 8 the county roads scheduled for seal-coating have been finished, and the striping is scheduled to be done soon. Sloan also announced he’ll be attending a meeting with IDOT
concerning the work on the Bottom Road Bridge project. Putnam County has been awarded grant money for the upcoming project. He also spoke of the need to appropriate more funds for the Magnolia culvert work that’s a joint project with LaSalle County. Sloan and the board then discussed Timberline Drive, the 30-year-old road badly in need of repair. Sloan said the
road wasn’t in the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) system and that while Granville Township had filled the potholes, they were hesitant to take on the approximately $30,000 cost of resurfacing the quarter-mile long road without funding assistance. Sloan proposed three options — to leave it the way it is, for Granville Township to keep filling the potholes, or for the county to take over repairs with
highway funds. Board Chairman Duane Calbow didn’t feel leaving it as it is was a viable option. Board member Sheila Haage then proposed the county and Granville Township work together to repair the road. Calbow said that would be satisfactory as long as there’s a guarantee the township would then take responsibility for future work. Sloan said that would likely be an acceptable solution, and
once the township takes official responsibility, they would begin to receive MFT funds helping to finance future work. Also at the meeting, Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle reported the department’s vehicles have had the new cameras installed, and there are now not only dash cams, but backseat cameras as well.

GMOs: The labeling law
New law will help consumers, farmers By Goldie Rapp
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
main breed of mosquito carrying the virus, Aedes aegypti, is rarely found in Illinois. Taking simple precautions can help you avoid mosquito bites and also help to prevent the spread of the virus. The main precautions include practicing the three R’s — reduce, repel and report.
PRINCETON — President Barack Obama recently signed into law a bill that will require labeling of genetically-modified (GMO) ingredients. It’s been a long battle fought between both the pro-GMO and anti-GMO positions leading up to the passage of this new law. Now that the ink has dried, many are saying neither sides are 100 percent agreeable to the bill. While some points in the new law are still unclear, the one requirement that’s for sure is food packages will have to include either a QR code, a symbol, 800 number or plain text if the ingredients contain GMOs. Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) President Richard Guebert Jr. made a statement on behalf of the IFB saying it was pleased with the labeling bill, which would prevent a rise in food prices. “In addition to protecting Americans’ wallets from a jump in prices at the grocery store, this bill will help prevent an expensive patchwork of state-by-state mandatory GMO food labeling laws,” he said.

through the bite of the common house mosquito, Culex pipiens. The mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds. “Common symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches, and they may last from a few days to a few weeks,” LaSalle County Director of Environmental Health Chris Pozzi said.
It’s known 80 percent of people infected with the virus will not show any symptoms. However, severe illness, including meningitis, encephalitis or even death can occur in rare cases. People older than 50 or those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness from the virus. Zika virus is also transmitted mostly by mosquitoes, but the

Russ Higgins, an ag educator with the University of Illinois Extension office, also stated he felt it was an advantage the bill supersedes state requirements, especially after states like Vermont had already began passing its own GMO requirements. “Trying to imagine the retailers — if the states all had different rules, what would that entail them to do?” Higgins questioned. “I think it’s important a federal law was passed rather than what could have been potentially 50 individuals states addressing

ous. “They suggested that with the increases or improvements in genetics we’ve been making, we would’ve seen those increases anyway,” he said. “But also said they found no scientific suggestion or data that said GMOs are dangerous.” Higgins pointed out GMOs have been around since 1996. He explained how widespread they are at the grocery store. “When you look at the byproducts like corn and soybeans, they suggested the average grocery store had anywhere from 60 to 65 percent of the materials you buy could have GMO products,” he said.

Consult a physician before using repellents on infants. Report locations where stagnant water has been g for more than a week, such as ditches, flooded yards or other similar places that may produce mosquitoes. “The health department or city government may be able to add larvicide to the water which will kill any mosquito eggs,” Pozzi said.

this issue.” Higgins pointed out how that could have trickled down and impacted costs for producers, who are already concerned over the low commodity prices. “If you’re out on the countryside, any enthusiasm for this great crop we’re watching is just tempered because of commodity prices. It’s just a little sobering in the farming community right now,” he said. Higgins was part of a recent national research study on GMOs.

Board From Page 1 Doyle also presented the board with bids to replace the courthouse’s cooling tower and boiler. County Zoning Officer Jim Burger and the board discussed zoning regulations concerning skid buildings and a recent fine given to a resident. The board would like to remind residents to contact the zoning officer and/or to review the county’s zoning ordinances before adding any buildings to a property. County Death Investigator and EMA coordinator Robert Cofoid reported there were no deaths last month. He then reported the Marshall-Putnam Fair went well and commended assistant coordinator, Chauntelle Biagi-Bruer for the amount of hours she spent working the fair for the EMA. Cofoid also said the recent Z-Tour cycling was a success, and there was an exceptional amount of help provided. Cofoid also mentioned the tornado that recently touched down in two places in the county and reminded residents to seek shelter when they hear the warning siren and not to go outside to look.
Opiate dependence There is a health epidemic occurring in the United States, and many people are unaware of the danger it represents. The leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. is no longer motor vehicle crashes but deaths due to unintentional drug overdose. This problem has been exploding with the number of unintentional overdose deaths more than quadrupling since 1999. The increase in deaths parallels the expansion of prescriptions for opioid pain relievers. In 2012, 259 million prescriptions were written for opioids, which is more than enough to give every American adult their own bottle of pills. Opiates, also known as narcotics, are a powerful and important class of medicines that have provided pain relief to millions of people with cancer, broken
Dr. Paul Bonucci COMMENTARY bones, or who have undergone surgery. However, if these medicines are taken recreationally or for long periods of time, there is a high risk of developing drug dependence. This class of drugs includes prescription pain relievers’ oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and fentanyl, as well as the illicit drug heroin. By binding to receptors on nerve cells in the brain and nervous system, these drugs initially provide pain relief and pleasurable effects. But the human body quickly begins to develop tolerance whereby higher and higher
New OB/GYN, midwife join IVCH staff PERU — The Women’s Health Care Center at Illinois Valley Community Hospital has added a new obstetrician/gynecologist and a new certified nurse midwife to its staff. The new OB/GYN is Kemoria Granberry, DO, who came to IVCH after completing her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago.

Granberry joins a WHCC physician team that also includes OB/ GYNs Shyrlena Bogard, Dr. Kemoira MD, and JefGranberry frey Edwards, MD. The new midwife at IVCH is Barbara Tieman, who had been workBarbara ing for the Tieman KSB Medical Group in Dixon.

doses are needed to achieve the same effect. A significant percentage of the Americans now addicted to heroin started using prescription pain pills, either prescribed or purchased on the street, but as their tolerance and cost of their habit grew, they started using heroin which is cheaper, more potent and easily available. Opiate dependence is a chronic, relapsing problem which can be caused by either legitimate use or misuse of opioids. Frequently users are aware of their problem, but the severity of withdrawal symptoms which may begin within hours of their last dose, and which can include sweats, chills, tremors, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle and joint pains, prevents them from quitting on their own. Although these drugs are pow-
erful, there are ways for individuals to get help and achieve recovery. The path to recovery most often includes two elements of treatment: Maintenance medication and support/counseling. Medications, which reduce withdrawal symptoms without making a person feel “high” are available to help people with opiate dependence. Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, independent counselors or church-based programs can provide the support and counseling that increases chances of successful recovery. If you, a friend, or family member is suffering from opiate dependence, please don’t lose hope. Please contact 815-8764481 with questions. Dr. Paul Bonucci is medical director of Perry Memorial Prompt Care in Princeton.

Observations from The Field of Dreams

My Olympic dream
In the past few days, I’ve spent some time watching the Olympics. As always, I am thoroughly impressed with the athletic prowess of these phenomenal athletes. As for me, I’m not much of an athlete. I’m sure that surprises Terri you. ... Simon • OK, I do like to swim, but the idea COMMENTARY of anyone — not to mention the entire TV viewing public, seeing me in a swimming suit is more than I can fathom. • I did take dancing lessons and tumbling when I was a little girl, but I could never even master a cartwheel. • The last time I played sand (beach) volleyball, I fell down three times in the first three volleys. • I do have a bicycle, but I have a terrible time remembering which hand brake controls the front brake and which one controls the back brake. • And then there’s basketball ... at nearly 5 foot, 3 inches tall, I’d be better suited as the one who gets everybody a Gatorade. • Canoeing? Never been in one. Well, I was once ... but the person I was with said once was enough. • Diving? The swimsuit rule applies. • Field hockey is fun to watch, but something about running up and down a field with a stick seems counterproductive to my theory of living. • I do enjoy a good round of golf, but I still have trouble with all the rules and protocols associated with the game. Whiffing the ball is actually my specialty. • Handball seems a bit too claustrophobic for me. • Rowing and sailing seem like calm little sports, but the Olympic athletes are way too serious about speed. In my book, those two sports should be done slowly with a glass of wine and maybe some homemade cookies. • Soccer. See field hockey above, minus the stick. • Wrestling to me revolves around watching it on TV with my grandpa many years ago. Let’s see ... there was the Crusher, Vern Gagne, Doctor X, Kenny Jay ... Other than the figure-four leg lock, I’m at a loss. • While weightlifting is an Olympic sport, I’m not sure why. However, I am pretty good at carrying in 10 bags of groceries at one time, just so I don’t have to make more than one trip from the car to the kitchen. • I’m not really sure what water polo is, though I think it involves a horse, a stick and a swimming suit. • I’m really surprised trampoline is a sport. • The track and field events all involve running and jumping — two things that I’m not the best at. • Taekwondo is way too structured for my free-spirited attitude, though I respect all those people who can chop a cement block into two pieces with their hand or foot. • The shooting events could be a good sport for me, though the only practice I’ve had is with BB guns, and that was about 50 years ago. • The equestrian sports could be a bright spot. I had a pony named Bunny once. She did kick me and bucked me off way too many times, but I did gain a few muscles by cleaning out her stall. • I used to play tennis a few years back, and quite frankly, I was pretty good at it. It did cause an immense amount of sweating, something I try to avoid at all costs these days. • Badminton was fun when I was a child. As an adult, I’m not sure I see the point. Seems like a lot of energy is exerted to chase around a little birdie. Plus, I’m not a fan of birds. • Archery seems like a safe enough sport for this old girl. Of course, that statement in and of itself tells you while I shouldn’t have a bow and arrow in my hands. • Ironically, I really like to watch boxing on TV. The key word in that statement is “watch.” • Fencing probably doesn’t involve making a straight fence line like I used to do with Grandpa. Something about having a sword in my hand seems counterproductive. • OK. I think I’ve found my sport. Who doesn’t like a good game of table tennis? Or as I like to call it, ping pong. I love that game. That’s it. I’m going to start training now. Watch for me in four years. I’ll be standing on the podium with the gold medal around my neck with the tears rolling down my cheeks as they play the national anthem. See there is something for everyone. You gotta love the Olympics ... Putnam County Record Editor Terri Simon can be reached at tsimon@putnamcountyrecord.com.
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY In June of 2013, Debbie Buffington of Hennepin and her cousin, Tim Schlosser, traveled to Italy, and while in Bologna, they decided that since they were so close to where their grandma, Lena Merli, was born, they would see what family history they could find. They arrived at the village of Montese in Northern Italy, about 30 miles from Bologna. As they drove into town, Debbie said, “The first thing we saw was a garage with a sign that said, ‘Passini’s Garage.’ We were so excited. We did not know what to do next or where to go because we weren’t sure we would find anything. “We found the village hall, and I went in. Tim stayed in the car. I said, ‘Does anyone speak English?’ A woman motioned for me to follow her into another office. She talked Italian to a man there. He told me he spoke English. I told him my great-grandparents were born here. Then I said my family is the Bellisi family. He grabbed my hand, exclaiming, ‘Mamma mia! Mamma mia!’ He took me into another office where he talked real fast in Italian to another person. He kept saying the Bellisi name. I was wondering what I had done. “Tim came in and heard the commotion and said, ‘Are we getting arrested? What did you do?’ The man said, ‘We are calling Walter Bellisi. He was just here and left. We are having him come back.’ “He called him and handed me the phone. When he answered, I said, ‘This is Debbie Grivetti.’ Walter said, ‘You are Dorothy’s daughter. Stay there. I will be there in five minutes.’ “When he arrived, he said, ‘I am so happy to meet my family. I will take you to meet your grandma’s family and show you your Grandma Lena’s house, where she was born, her church, where she was baptized.’ He then asked Tim where he was from. Tim said, ‘I have lived in Standard and Peru, but now I work at the University of Kansas.’ Walter said, ‘Do you know Bob Dole?’ Tim said, ‘Yes, I work at the University of Kansas. We have the Bob J. Dole Institute of Politics at the university there.’ Walter said, ‘He is our hero. He was shot when he helped liberate Montese. I have to take you and show you where he was wounded. You have to see it.’ “Walter said, ‘During the war, they bombed and destroyed our city, especially our church and city hall, and we lost so many of the records. The only records that survived were the first part of the alphabet, so you are lucky, your great-grandparents’ records are saved. But the information for the Tonionis is gone. But you still have family alive here, and I’ll take you to meet them.’ “Debbie said, ‘Walter made copies of our family history for us. He walked around that village hall like he owned it. He walked behind the counters, he did whatever he wanted to. He gave us folders of each family. My great-grandfather, Enrico Bellisi, who was born March 22, 1865, and who married my great-grandmother, Maria Tonioni, were both born in Montese, and until they immigrated, they lived in the Tonioni family home in San Martino, a smaller village, less than a mile from Montese. Enrico was the ‘capo di famiglia,’ head of the family, and that his profession was listed as a journalist, was the last

While there, they met with their relative, Walter Bellisi (left). entry in the family folder, before the young Bellisis, with their daughter, my grandmother, Lena, whose real name was Inez, left for America, on Aug. 12, 1906. That was just one of more than a dozen trips they made between America and Italy. One of the trips was made so that my Grandma Lena could celebrate her first communion at the small church in San Martino where she had been baptized. “Walter took us through the town square. So many of the Putnam County Italians came from this place. The water fountain still has bullet holes in it. The bell tower had been damaged and they had rebuilt it. There are bread and breakfast places. Walter took us to the church where Grandma Lena was baptized, and to the house she was born in. A few years ago, Walter came to see Grandma Lena, and did not know she had died. So he went and saw my mother, Dorothy, at her home. He also visited Helen (Ellena) Aimone and her family. “Irma Ellena and her daughter, Diane, had visited Montese years ago. Tim and I did not know they had visited when we went there to visit. We met Elena Tonioni, who now owns the house where Grandma Lena was born, and her daughter, Maria. She was so glad to meet us. ‘Mi famiglia! Mi famiglia!’ She gave us the key to the house so we could go see it. The house is called Casa dei Papi (The House of the Pope’s) because it is where popes stopped to stay as they traveled in and around Northern Italy, prior to Castel Gandolfo being named the official summer residence. Pope Leo XIII was one of the popes who stayed there as he traveled. Amazingly, my dad’s father, Steve Grivet (Grivetti) was a guard for Pope Leo, who traveled with him on his trips. “The last place Walter took us was to where Bob Dole was wounded just a few miles out of Montese on a dirt road. We came to this open area in the woods. Everything was destroyed except this one tree where Dole was wounded on April 14, 1945, when the war was almost over. Montese was one of the last
villages to be liberated in World War II in Europe. There is a large plaque by the tree where Dole was wounded. It said, ‘On this site during the second World War, Lt. Robert Dole was a member of the 10th Mountain Division. He was seriously wounded fighting for the freedom of our village.’ “Walter said, ‘For 33 years, the village of Montese has had a celebration for Bob Dole, and Dole has given the village computer equipment, money and friendship. He also has given help to the hospital he was taken to in Bologna after he was wounded. The last time Alma Toedter went to visit her home village of Acquaria, Italy, her friend, Senator Bob Dole, asked her to deliver a check from him for the hospital. Bologna is about 30 miles from Montese, and Acquaria and Vaglio are about 15 miles from Montese and 45 miles from Bologna. My grandma’s husband, Pio Merli, was from Vaglio, where many of his nieces and nephews still live and where all his brothers and sisters are buried. “At the end of the day, Tim said it was amazing and unreal as our driver was bringing us back to Bologna. He said, ‘You know Grandma Lena did this.’ I believe that everything we did and saw was her guiding us. We were in the right place at the right time. We met Walter, who spoke English, who knows our family and who they are related to. When we found him, we had it made. He knew Irma Ellena and her daughter, Diane, and Helen Aimone, the late Bruno Bernabei and his children and many others.” “He is in his 70s,” Debbie said. “Walter is a world renowned photographer, as well as a writer. He said, ‘I like to take pictures like your son Quentin. It must be in our blood.’ Walter had just got back from Russia where he took photos as he traveled.” I remember writing about Irma Ellena’s trip to Italy, and she had told me it was a trip of a lifetime. Debbie agreed with Irma when she said, “It was one of the most amazing days of my life.” Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Russell finds herself at home at Oak Ridge By Kevin Hieronymus Shaw Media Service
Edgewood Ladies League
LASALLE — Cheri Russell seems to have a good feeling when the Illinois Valley Women’s Golf Open returns to Senica’s Oak Ridge Golf Course. She won the tournament the last time it was held at the LaSalle course and won it again there Sunday, Aug. 14. Russell, the multi-time club champion from Morris Country Club, beat out rookie Aiko Mendoza of Spring Creek by four strokes, 88-92. She was quick to think of the ramifications of her most recent victory. “The last time I won, the Packers won the Super Bowl
MCNABB — Pick your partner was the play of the day for the Edgewood Ladies League on Aug. 9. Ann Lasson and Connie Casford were the hostesses. A Flight: Roberta Henson. B Flight: Betty Lequia. C Flight: Kathy Kline. Low Gross: Ann Lasson. Low Net: Kathy Kline. Low Putts: Catherine Gregorich. Chip-ins: Kathy Kline #6.
Blind baseball team coming to Streator STREATOR — The Streator Hardscrabble Lions Club is sponsoring the Chicago Comets, a blind baseball team, at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, at Sherman School in Streator. The game is played with the exception of the pitcher, catcher and spotters in the outfield being blindfolded. The pitcher will pitch the ball that beeps to the batter. If the batter should hit the ball, either the first base or third base will beep. The object is for the batter to get to the base by listening to the beep before the ball is fielded. Admission is free. Donations will be accepted.
that year. So this is a good omen for the Packers winning the Super Bowl,” Russell said. She was hopeful, however, she wouldn’t take six years in between IV championships. “That would be nice. I like the way you think. I’ll talk to my agent and we’ll see if we can put together a few more practice rounds,” Russell said. Russell was overall pleased with her game. She’s been traveling a lot and not playing much golf, and doesn’t take her clubs when she travels. “I hit my irons well. I didn’t really have a problems off the tee, other than the first two holes. Actually, just the second hole, I put it in the water,” Russell said. “Oh, did you see my drive on 18? That was a 7 wood, that I’m trying to play smart. I was going to play a 7 wood, hit it smart. Oh my God, I hit in the bush.” Russell said this was a nice back-to-school year present for her. She is assistant principal and AD at Crest Hill Junior High outside of Joliet.

Mendoza and Spring Creek’s Amanda Scheri, both All-BCR selections in 2015 golfing for St. Bede and Hall respectively, were newcomers to the IV field. They both said they had fun playing, but were nervous. “I was very nervous, especially since we were put in the championship class because we didn’t have a handicap so they stuck us wherever, I guess,” Mendo-

Mendoza, who was consistent with two rounds of 46, said it was a good tune-up for Tuesday’s season-opener for St. Bede. “I was as pleased as I can be,” she said. “I still have some things I have to work on. I’m just glad I could stick with it and not mess up things too badly.” Scheri said having the ladies she played with made things go well. “It was fun. I’m glad I got the people I was playing with. They were nice and made it less nerve-wracking, especially going up against (the women). That was intimidating,” Scheri said. Mary Scheri, Amanda’s mother, who also played for Spring Creek, said it was nice to have the girls pump some new blood in the tournament, which had just 35 golfers this year. “It’s a good thing because the numbers are dwin-
dling,” said Mary, who also played for Spring Creek. “It’s great to have her and Aiko in.”
Mother and daughter
Playing in the tournament with her mother was nice, Amanda Scheri said. Losing to her mother by one stroke, 101 to 102, was not so nice. When asked if she was not happy to get beat by her mom, Scheri was quick to reply, “No, not at all. I was definitely hoping to beat her. On the first 9, I did pretty well, so I thought I had a leg up there.” Mom knows the time will come very soon when her daughter will beat her. “Sooner or later, she’s going to beat me. I think it’s going to be soon,” Mary said. “It was very exciting. I knew she was very nervous, but this will help her in the future.” Amanda Scheri is attending IVCC this fall, but it no longer has a girls program.
She said she would like to get one started. She has decided not to continue to play basketball at IVCC, taking care of her knee that she injured in high school.
New champ
Prophet Hills just joined the IVWG Open this year and made off with the team championship. The Prophetstown club tallied 395. Green River from Walnut was the net team champion at 301. Karen Wiersema of newcomer Prophet Hills claimed the A Class crown by two strokes over Ann Lasson of Edgewood Park, 94-96. Green River’s Tammy Howlett (99) took third. Jan Booker (116) of Edgewood Park won the C Class title. The B Class crown went to Karen Slattery (96) of Morris. Linda Molln of Green River won the Senior Class with Spring Creek’s Hilda Koppens (104) crowned as the “Super Senior.”

Members of the Marshall-Putnam-Stark Show Choir entertained residents recently at Liberty Village in Princeton with a lively and upbeat show that included singing and dancing. The choir is under the direction of Robert Eckert.
BCGS will meet on Thursday PRINCETON — The Bureau County Genealogical Society invites the public to a special program to be presented on Thursday, Aug. 25, in the Society library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton. The regular monthly meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature Ottawa resident Ieva Neimanas Pipyne, who will be speaking about her early life story of which she has written a book titled “Half a Slice of Bread.” This powerful true story is of her own Lithuanian family who was
caught up in the turbulent political and military events of World War II-era Europe from 1941 to 1950. Pipyne’s Ottawa neighbor and friend, Connie Fetzer, encouraged her to write the book and assisted with the editing of it. Come hear how Pipyne and her family struggled to survive and their experiences in a German camp at Wangerin, Germany, from 1941 to 1943 with seven people occupying one room. This is a free program. BCGS is also sponsoring a beginning level genealogy class which will consist
of four evening meetings from 7 to 9 p.m. each evening. These classes will be held at BCGS on Wedensdays, Sept. 14, 21 and 28, and Oct. 5. The class will be limited to 12 students and requires pre-registration and payment of $30 which involves all materials necessary. This is truly a class designed for those who are just beginning the hobby of genealogy, and the first three classes will be taught by Eva Blanco of DePue, an experienced teacher and genealogist. Blanco will introduce all the basic skills for success-
ful genealogical research. The final session will be taught by BCGS volunteers and will involve computer Internet searches using popular genealogical tools such as Ancestry.com.

Iowa Interstate Railroad’s passenger train is returning
Hanna Hundley attends Girls State
HENRY — Iowa Interstate Railroad is once again bringing its 1950 vintage passenger cars, plus diesel locomotives to Henry. On Saturday, Sept. 10, it will be making three round trips from Henry to Chillicothe. Trips will depart at 9 a.m., 11:50 a.m. and 2:40 p.m. from the track in front of the Henry Fire Department, 220 Railroad Ave. A 45-minute layover in Chillicothe will allow time to stretch legs and check out local vendors before returning passengers back to Henry. There will be food, music and entertainment in front of the Henry Fire Department. Proceeds support local organizations and the Henry Fire Department. Round trip tickets cost $14 for adults and $7 for children ages 5 to 12. Tickets may be purchased in Henry at the follow-
ing locations: Heartland Bank, Henry State Bank, Read Bros. True Value and Wilson’s Insurance Agency. In Lacon, tickets may be purchased from Morton Community Bank and First National Bank. In Hennepin, they are for sale at North Central Bank. Tickets are color coded for each trip. Passengers must depart and return at the times stated on their ticket. Ramps will be provided for access onto the train. Keep in mind there is no heat, air conditioning or restroom on board the train. These amenities were added in more recent years. Passenger trains no longer run these tracks so don’t miss this opportunity to take a trip back in time. Bring family and friends to experience what it used to be like to travel by rail.

Hundley is pictured with her mother, Melanie Hundley. Girls State activities were scheduled for the week of June 19-25. Hanna joined the American Legion Auxiliary during its July meeting and summarized the events she experienced while attending Girls State. She is anticipating a return to Girls State as a counselor. Any Hennepin girl, who is a high school junior, interested in levels of government should complete the Illinois Girls State form offered during the spring school year.

Schedule announced for fifth annual General W.H.L. Wallace Memorial weekend MARSEILLES — The fifth annual General W. H. L. Wallace Memorial Weekend, Saturday. Aug. 27, and Sunday, Aug 18, titled “LaSalle County Civil War: A Patriotic Appeal” has a new encampment location at the FFA Land Lab in Seneca (2667 East 28th Road, Marseilles). This year’s living history program will include two battle re-enactments, coopering and blacksmith demonstrations, a vintage base ball match and historical presentations. The 17th Corps Field Hospital, a favorite from previous years, will be demonstrating Civil War era hospital and surgical techniques. Saturday’s events (camp opens at 10 a.m.) will include Union and Confederate encampments, training and military drills. Period demonstrations, sutlers, vendors and food booths will also be set up. The PBS 30-minute video, “Shiloh: The Devil’s Own Day,” which was partially filmed in Ottawa, will be shown continually from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. At 2 p.m., the first day of the Battle of Shiloh will be re-enacted, complete with musket and cannon fire. Saturday evening, at 8 p.m., a cannon night fire demonstration will light up the night. On Sunday, the camp opens to the public at 9 a.m. The day will begin with a non-denominational

church service, followed by breakfast prepared by Seneca’s FFA students. The public is invited to the service and to breakfast ($4 per person). Sunday’s activities will again include period demonstrations by soldiers, hospital workers and craftsmen. At 11 a.m., the
Lemont Quarrymen will challenge the Somonauk Blue Stockings to a Civil War era base ball game. About 1 p.m., the baseball game will erupt into the second battle re-enactment of the weekend, the second day of the Battle of Shiloh. Admission (which includes
both days) is $5 per person, with a family rate of $15. All money raised throughout the weekend will be used for the restoration and upkeep of the Dickey-Wallace Cemetery. For more information, visit ottawahistory.org.
Alexander Pool goes to the dogs PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District is inviting all pooches for a dip in the Alexander Pool. The event is set for Saturday, Aug. 27. Small dogs will be welcome from 11 a.m. to noon, with larger dogs getting their chance to get their paws wet from noon to 1 p.m. Prior to this event, the pool will have been closed for the human season and open this day only for the canine season. Only social dogs are allowed, and there is no swimming for pet owners at this time — only for the dogs. Dogs must be on a leash until they are in the water. Those with more questions about the annual Alexander Pooch Paddle or other pet events can call the Bureau County Metro Center at 815-872-0840. •••

Songbirds in Snow Forever stamps take flight PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Postal Service celebrated four birds that brighten cold winter days recently by dedicating the Songbirds in Snow Forever stamps at the American Philatelic Society’s Stamp Show 2016 in Portland, Ore. One of the birds, the northern cardinal, is the state bird for Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. The stamps are available in booklets of 20, with each of the four stamp designs repeated five times. They feature the golden-crowned kinglet (Regulus satrapa), the cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum), the northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) and the red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis). Illustrator Robert Giusti painted the original designs in acrylic on canvas board, depicting each bird perched on a snow-covered branch. “The Postal Service has a long tradition of putting birds on stamps — to celebrate and raise awareness of these amazing creatures,” said U.S. Postal Service Vice President of Sales Cliff Rucker, the dedicating official. “And the four stamps we’re dedicating ... are truly beautiful works of art.” Joining Rucker in dedicating the stamps was American Philatelic Society Executive Director Scott English. U.S. Postal Service Stamp Services Director Mary-Anne Penner served as master of ceremonies. Ordering First-Day-of-Issue Postmarks Customers have 60 days to obtain the first-day-of-issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local post office, at The Postal Store website at usps.com/shop or by calling 800-782-6724. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice,
address the envelopes (to themselves or others) and place them in a larger envelope addressed to: Songbirds in Snow Stamps, U.S. Postal Service, Attention: Ruth Traynor, P.O. Box 2089, Portland, OR 97208-2089. After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is no charge for the postmark up to a quantity of 50. There is a 5-cent charge for each additional postmark over 50. All orders must be postmarked by Oct. 4, 2016. Northern Cardinal A spot of bright red against the white of a snowy tree branch signals the presence of a northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), one of winter’s most colorful and beautiful birds. Found in thickets along the edge of forests or in shrubby, overgrown fields and hedgerows as well as in backyards, cardinals usually appear in pairs but can gather in small flocks during the winter to forage for food. Their diet is mainly seeds and fruit, but they also eat insects. During the winter, cardinals are frequent visitors to birdfeeders. Sunflower seeds are a favorite food.
Homework for parents Your child’s back-to-school health checklist Summer fun is nearing an end. It’s almost time to put away the swimsuits and dust off the book bags. More than 50 million students will head into the classrooms in a few weeks. The nation’s emergency physicians say now is the time to get everyone’s health in check. “For many, the focus is on back-to-school clothes and supplies, which is important,” said Jay Kaplan, MD, FACEP, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “But it’s equally, if not more important to also take time to schedule routine doctor visits and to make sure that your child’s health information is all organized. Here are a few things you should do now. Organize your child’s medical history records and emergency medical contact information. Complete a consentto-treat form and give copies to the school nurse and any day care providers to keep in your child’s record and to take with them if your child should need to go to the emergency department. The form will allow caregivers to authorize medical treatment. The form should include information related to prescription medications,
medical problems or previous surgeries as well as pertinent family history and emergency contacts. Free forms can be downloaded at www.emergencycareforyou.or/Be-Prepared/Organize-Your-Important-Medical-Information/. An emergency information form is also available for children with special needs. Coordinate with the school nurse and your child’s physician to develop action plans for any health issues, such as asthma or food allergies. Communicate these plans to all appropriate caregivers. Schedule medical and dental check-ups before school starts. Some children will need immunizations. Consider vision and hearing tests, since impairment can adversely affect learning. Consider a sports check-up if your child will be playing in sports. Review and do a dry run with your child of his or her route to school, explaining potential hazards along the way. If your child walks to school, make sure he or she understands potential traffic dangers. If your child takes the bus, establish a safe, visible pick up/drop off spot, prefer-
ably with a group of children and in an area where they can be clearly seen by adults. If your child drives to school, make sure he or she obeys all laws and wear seatbelts. Make sure your children know how to telephone for help. Post emergency contact numbers by every telephone in your home. Have them practice how to call 911 or the local emergency number and give their names address and a brief description of the problem. Develop a family emergency plan in case something happens on the way to (or from) and while at school. Be aware of the emergency and evacuation plans for your children’s schools. ACEP is the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.
