Hennepin looks at I-180 reduction By Goldie Rapp

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The talk of reducing Interstate 180 from a four-lane expressway to a two-lane highway has caused concern for many area villages. On Wednesday, Aug. 19, Hennepin Village Board President Kevin Coleman said he has talked with many people about the interstate, including Congressman Adam Kinzinger and State Rep. Frank Mautino. He said the local politicians were aware of the situation and working on the issue. Coleman said reducing the interstate wouldn’t just impact Putnam County but other surroundings counties, including Peoria, which uses the interstate as a quick route to Chicago. “You’re talking a couple hundred thousand people, if not more,” he said. “And it will affect the Peoria area as well.”

Hennepin village engineer Bill Shafer said he had spoken with an Illinois Department of Transportation representative who told him the Interstate reduction was in the preliminary stages. He said there’s a lot of maintenance work that needs to be done on the interstate, particularly on the river bridge, and the government is short on funds and looking at all options. “If they are going to do something as drastic as that, he said there would be public hearings,” Shafer said of the IDOT representative. “The probability of it actually happening are pretty slim. There would be quite a bit of an initial cost to make that conversion.” Shafer said he didn’t think it was something to get too excited about. Village trustee Quentin Buffington said he also spoke with someone from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the representative told him the decision wouldn’t happen quickly. “It’s basically just a feeler, and he said any plans would

be 10 years out. He said there are projects scheduled for the next few years to maintain it. There’s no concern for at least five to 10 years,” Buffington said.

Ongoing improvement projects in the village

Shafer updated the village board about the upcoming storm sewer project. As reported last month, the village is having drainage and water flow issues in the area near Sixth and Locust streets. Shafer said the tentative bid date on the project is Monday, Sept. 14. After the bids come in, he will give a recommendation to the board at next month’s meeting. Shafer said a possible gas line may be in the area where the project will take place, and he was investigating it further to ensure plans did not interfere with the

GRANVILLE — Superintendent Jay McCracken presented the tentative budget for the upcoming school year during the Putnam County School Board meeting on Monday, Aug. 17. “I will remind all of you this is very, very tentative. This is a working budget; it’s very fluid. Even our final budget is a flexible, working document,” McCracken said. The board approved the tentative budget. It will be available and on display in the district office for at least 30 days, as required by statute. The final budget will be approved in September. The budget hearing for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 will be at 6 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Putnam County Primary School, prior to the regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. “We have no debt. We are still one of the few districts in the state that has no outstanding debt and no bonds,” said McCracken. A major expense in the upcoming budget is the roofing project at the junior high school, but the district can still end up in the black at the end of the year because of its positive financial situation. “We have some of the nicest facilities in the entire area, and we can be very proud of how

From the Ground Up ... Bureau and Putnam County’s farmers’ market loyalty program By D ave Cook

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

When making a purchase it’s become almost expected to be asked if you belong to or would like to join a frequent shopper/loy-

alty program or if you have a rewards or frequent shopper card. One place you don’t expect it to happen, though, is at a farmers’ market. The Bureau and Putnam County Health

Department has changed that with their new program From the Ground Up. It’s funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers’ Market Promotion Program (FMPP). It’s meant to encourage people to support local farmers’ markets, growers and food and to also eat healthy. Participating farmers’ markets are in Gran-

ville, Sheffield, Spring Valley and Walnut. So far the program has been well received. “A lot of people have been coming in with their punch cards. They’re really excited about it because they’re getting T-shirts, bags, cutting boards and getting their names entered for the dinner. We’ve been giving a lot of stuff away. It’s gone over very well,” said

Kathy Tarmann, from Boggio’s Orchard and Produce in Granville. While the Princeton farmers’ market is promoted on both the health department’s website and its Facebook page, the Princeton farmers’ market board has chosen not to participate in this successful and free program.

The general state aid for this year’s budget is estimated at $516,718, which is up from $501,668 and is based on the 92 percent funding level. The budget’s grants are as follows: • Regular education, $350,787; vocational, $13,614; special education, $156,255. • Lunch and breakfast program, $176,000. • Early childhood, $232,800, which is up from $220,704. • Total No Child Left Behind title grants, $102,878, down from $113,991.

Starved Rock Alliance highlights need for entrepreneurs By Mike Billy, The Ottawa Times Special to the PCR

By Dave Cook

OTTAWA — Young entrepreneurs are the key to the future of Starved Rock Country. That was the message during a Starved Rock Country Alliance public gathering on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the Fairfield Inn in Ottawa. “We’re here because we don’t want your money, we need your help,” said Dick Janko, a Peru entrepreneur who is on the alliance’s steering committee. “The young people are the future of our area.” Several local entrepreneurs and local government officials were present at the meeting, including Bill Phelan, who is a Streator city councilman and owner of the Silver Fox, and

OGLESBY — The Illinois Small Business Development Center at IVCC is seeking nominations of individuals under 40 who have made positive contributions to their community or business. The annual “40 Under Forty” award recognizes leaders, business owners and community volunteers who make the community a better place to live and work. An individual must be nominated by Aug. 30 by a community member. Award recipients will be notified and invited to attend a reception in their honor; 40 Under Forty, now in its fifth year, has recognized over 160 young professionals.

need to be successful.” The alliance also is starting a program to talk to high school students about entrepreneurship to help them “start thinking bigger,” Grandadam said. Lourie said the alliance has talked to businesses involved in food processing, education, wood working and agriculture, including a day care in Streator. “We are a group of people that are goal oriented,” he said. “We want to get things done.” Lourie highlighted a small daycare business in Streator the alliance is helping find a larger location to grow into. “There is a success story — there is a young guy or a young gal — with a business in their basement on a corner of every town in our area,” he said. “We just have to find them.”

Nominations wanted for ‘40 Under Forty’

Corcoran credited trustee David Mallery for discovering the opportunity and Kurt Rimmele of Basalay, Cary and Alstadt for preparing the application free of charge. “By incorporating these efficiencies into the building plan, we’ll save for many years through reduced utility costs,” said Corcoran. In a letter announcing the gold certification, Green Building CEO S. Richard Fedrizzi, said the CTC is a “showcase example of sustainable design.” The CTC earned high scores for its ability to control lighting, heating and cooling, use of daylight rather than artificial lighting, low-emission parking, water efficient landscaping, use of regional materials for construction, storm water management, use of recycled products and recycling of construction materials.

here they know where to go. We’re looking for small industries, and we’re looking for entrepreneurial people that we can put into business and hopefully they will become big and strong.” One of the ways the alliance plans to help small businesses is through their capital funds project, which helps businesses with start up or expansion costs, said Cody Grandadam, who also is on the alliance’s steering committee. Grandadam, president of Promier Products, was able to get his business started with help from a neighbor who allowed him to use warehouse space at no cost. “We want to do for other people what my neighbor did for me,” he said. “We want to help business people with the tools, money and infrastructure they

Lourie, who is on the alliance’s steering committee, said the group is doing something different than other economic development organizations. Their goal is to help small businesses take the first step getting off the ground. Janko echoed the need to help small businesses. “We’re not looking for big industry,” he said. “If a big industry wants to come

Easter Seals of LaSalle and Bureau Counties changes name

America’s Farmers to award $3.3 million

Non-profit agency to become Lifesteps on Sept. 1 Easter Seals of LaSalle and Bureau Counties, which has been providing services to area residents for 68 years, will change its name to Lifesteps, effective Sept. 1. It will continue to operate as a non-profit agency. According to President/CEO Susan Bursztynsky, services, staffing and locations will remain the same. The agency serves about 500 children each year, providing developmental screenings, evaluations and therapy to children ages birth to 3; pediatric speech therapy; pediatric physical therapy; developmental playgroup for children 2 years of age; child care for children with and without special needs; and preschool services. In addition, the agency operates an Autism Resource Center. Therapy services are provided throughout LaSalle and Bureau counties. The developmental playgroup is offered in Princeton, Peru and Ottawa. Child care and preschool services are offered in Ottawa, as is the Autism Resource Center. According to Tami Thomas-Leonatti, co-chair of the board of directors, this change is part of the board’s long-term strategic planning. It will allow the agency to make a greater local impact by keeping more of the donations and other funds that the agency receives in this area. It will also allow more donations to be used to work toward the expansion of services. “We are very appreciative of the strong local support that we receive and feel that this will allow us to be better stewards of our donors’ money,” said Thomas-Leonatti. For more information, call 815-434-0857 or email staff at info@il-lb.easterseals.com.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities will partner again with farmers to award more than $3.3 million to community nonprofits across the country. In Illinois, 97 organizations will receive donations in 2016. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program’s purpose is to make a positive impact in rural communities by giving farmers a chance to direct $2,500 donations to eligible nonprofit organizations of their choice. Farmer enrollment for Grow Communities kicked off on Aug. 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Since the program’s inception, farmers have directed donations to help fire departments purchase equipment and complete training, send FFA and 4-H groups to contests and conventions, provide food pantries with meals to serve those in need and boost agriculture curriculum in rural school districts. Other beneficiaries of the program have included health care organizations, youth and community centers, state parks and economic development programs, among many others. “Thanks to the participation of farmers from across the country, more than 7,000 nonprofit organizations have received donations through Grow Communities in the past five years,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “We are excited to team up with farmers once again to help support the causes that mean the most to them and strengthen rural America.” Illinois farmers can enroll in the program and find a complete list of program rules and eligibility information at www.GrowCommunities.com or by calling 877-267-3332 toll-free. Program winners will be announced in January. Follow Grow Communities’ new Facebook page to learn more about the program and connect with past winners at facebook.com/AmericasFarmersGrowCommunities. America’s Farmers Grow Communities is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture.

To cap his professional career, Marion was named Illinois’ Outstanding Older Worker in 1999 and represented Illinois at a conference in that capacity in Washington, D.C., later that year. Marion was a member of the Hennepin United Methodist Church. He also has served on its board over the years. An accomplished community leader, Marion had been closely involved in key aspects of Hennepin’s growth since moving there. He organized the fire department for the village (acting as its chief for over 30 years and on the board from 1981 to 2006), and he served as president of the town board, park district, Hennepin and Putnam County school boards, ambulance board and Zoning Board of Appeals, among others. Until earlier this month, he was a long-standing sitting member on the LaSalle/Marshall/Putnam/Woodford County Regional School Board. Major accomplishments while serving in these capacities include overseeing the consolidation of Putnam County schools into one unit, attracting Jones & Laughlin Steel to the community, the building of an indoor olympic pool and community complex for the village and providing an ambulance and skilled EMTs for the community for which Marion served as a driver

many years. Through the years, Marion was also active in many organizations, both locally and nationally, including Lions Club, Putnam County Achievement Services and Hennepin Betterment Association. He was especially proud of his affiliation with Post 1044 of the American Legion. Marion loved his family and friends and never met a stranger. He loved to speak with and teach others, coach youth athletics, tell stories and took tremendous pride watching his grandchildren compete in sports and other extracurricular activities. He also enjoyed playing with or holding his great-grandchildren. He liked to hunt, fish, and watch and play sports, as well as relaxing and spending time with friends and family. Marion is survived by his wife, Irene, as well as two children, Debbie (Jeff) Rock of Plano, Texas, and Darrell (Cheryl) Kuhne of Germantown Hills; nine grandchildren, Sheri Rock of Houston, Texas, Jennifer (David) Finkelman of Houston, Texas, Michelle Rock of Dallas, Texas, Dan Kuhne of Houston, Texas, David Kuhne of Chicago, Shelley Harwood of Peoria, Melissa (John) Reddan of Holly Springs, N.C., Jolene (Paul) Manuyag of Chicago and Kari (Chris) Daugherty of Bartonville; six great-grandchildren; and one niece, Delores Kuhne of Hennepin.

The Glad Game As I have written about before here, summertime always reminds me of lying under a tree in my front yard with a book in my hand, trying to keep cool and enjoy a good book. Those fond memories also make me remember a couple of COMMENTARY books that I read and reread as a child. We didn’t own a lot of books when I was young. Our at-home library was limited to an older copy of “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” the Bible and two small books titled “Pollyanna” and “Pollyanna Grows Up.” If you have never read any of the “Pollyanna” books, they are quite special. The books, written by Eleanor Porter, were first published in 1913. In the first book, Pollyanna was an 11-year-old girl who had unfortunately lost both of her parents and was sent to live with her Aunt Polly. Aunt Polly had lived alone for many years and the addition of 11-year-old Pollyanna was quite a change for stern Polly. Aunt Polly was not always kind to Pollyanna, but little Pollyanna used a game her father had taught her to get through all of the days with a smile. The game ... “The Glad Game,” had taught Pollyanna to always look for the bright side of everything. Soon, Pollyanna was teaching everyone in her new town as well as Aunt Polly to always see something good in every situation. Through the eyes of an 11 year old, a town learns that seeing the good is always better than only looking at the bad. The second book that was in the small collection was “Pollyanna Grows Up.” In this book Pollyanna is recovering from polio, and she and her Aunt Polly travel to Europe and encounter loss, joy and sorrow. Even Pollyanna struggles to keep a smile on her face and to maintain her “glad” attitude. This book, like the first, became a favorite of mine. These first “Pollyanna” books written by Ms. Porter and the additional books in the series written with the same Pollyanna theme though by other authors, have become classics in children’s literature. Little did I know at the time I was reading those books, that I was reading something that would or already had become a classic. I still think about Pollyanna and how she always saw the good or the bright side. Living life as Pollyanna did is not easy. Seeing the good in every situation is really not easy. I don’t know how Pollyanna did it. Maybe her life was simpler, I don’t know; I certainly struggle to see the good every day. I play a really terrible round of golf, what to do? Oh, yes, Pollyanna would think, I’ll play again tomorrow, and I will do better. That’s the good in me talking; the bad side tells me that I will play again tomorrow, and I will probably play worse than I did today. I drive down the street and end up behind the slowest driver known, I am irritated. I should think that I am not in any hurry, so just enjoy the day; but I am usually just annoyed because the person is driving too slowly for my taste. I celebrate another birthday (you know as we get older birthdays should be a real celebration of our life), but sometimes I look at mine as “Oh, no I’m another year older.” Living as Pollyanna is indeed tough for me. There are some things that I have no trouble playing “The Glad Game” about. I am glad that I have a great family — husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandsons; I am glad that I have the opportunity to live my life as I want; I am glad that I live in a country where I can think what I want and say what I want without someone censoring those things. Those are the basics that I am always glad about. “The Glad Game” is a simple idea, yet not always an easy way to live. I keep thinking I will get better at it. I’m hopeful, and if I’m lucky, glad that I will have that opportunity. Nita Wyatt of Wyanet can be reached at wyattnm1950@yahoo.com.

​Field of Dreams My grandson, Greg Darrell Alleman, received a scholarship in cross country running and track from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. There he met Ann Tank who also was at Platteville on a cross country and track scholarship. They both are dedicated runners. They were married after graduating. Greg is a math teacher and coach at Lancaster High School about 20 miles north of Platteville. Ann is a physical education teacher and coach at Dodgeville, Wis., 20 miles east of Platteville. They recently ran in the 119th running of the Boston Marathon at the official starting point in Hopkinton, Mass. They decided to run there to test their physical and mental fortitude because they both have always had an attraction to running in the Boston Marathon. Running the 26.2 mile Boston Marathon is a challenge for serious runners only. Greg ran track and cross country at Putnam County High School. Ann ran track and cross country for Dodgeville/Mineral Point High School. In high school, Ann helped her school program to win two division titles and, with University Pioneers at Platteville, she became a nine-time All-American. Neither had run a marathon before last summer, although the idea of running at Boston had always been on Ann’s mind since watching her mother run the race in 2003. To run in the Boston Marathon, runners must first meet the qualifying standard at a certified feeder marathon. To qualify, Greg and Ann decided to run in the Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minn., on June 20, 2014. Ann finished the race in a time of 3:13.43, well below the 3:35 qualifying time for the Boston Marathon. Greg

came in at 3:03.38, less than two minutes under his qualifying time of 3:05. With their acceptance into the Boston Marathon secured, Greg and Ann began a rigorous 18-week training program using the hilly terrain around Lancaster. They started off with lower mileage runs and worked their way up to running as much as 20 miles on a given day. They logged in an average of 65 miles a week. That meant getting up at 4 a.m. every morning before school, even in the cold dark during the winter. Greg said he finds it “a lot harder to run without a goal.” Ann said running the Boston Marathon was easier than she thought it would be. Greg said it was definitely challenging, but it was easier than his first marathon. Greg ran the Boston Marathon in a time of 2:52.32, finishing 950th out of 5,047 runners in the 18 to 39 year-old men’s division. Ann finished the race in a time of 3:12.20 and placed 445th of 6,145 runners in the 18-39 year-old

women’s division. “There is really nothing like it,” said Ann. “The weather was not ideal at all. It was rainy, windy and cold, but the crowds came out and cheered at every mile.” Greg said he had heard a lot about this race, but it is a way different experience firsthand. “It was very motivating and challenging, which is what drew us to it,” he said. There was a total of 30,000 runners in this year’s marathon. To say the least I am so proud of Greg and Ann. ••• This is an Irish blessing: “May God grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you.

Like a streak of ... Meteor showers perturb me. Take the latest one for instance. Last week, there was a three or four night period when the Perseid meteor shower was visible to us earthlings. When I heard about it, to say the least, my interest was piqued. Whenever I hear about one of these stellar phenomenons occurring, I get all giddy and excited. When I was a little kid, my parents bought me a small telescope because I was a little space nerd. I remember that I would go outside at night and check out the moon. It wasn’t powerful enough to really view the constellations very well, but I still tried. A couple of times, I think I witnessed some of the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, whose five-year mission was to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Yeah, I like space stuff. I have been known to drag my wife out of bed at 2:30 in the morning to drive out in the country to get a better view of stars shooting across the inky-black sky. I even brought my son one time when he was very young. He snored his excitement at the display. My family and I have just recently moved out to the country from the big city and its bright, glaring street lights, so I thought that this would be the ideal time to view this astral event. My wife wasn’t home but my 10-year-old daughter was and she came up with the idea to spread a blanket out in the darkest part of the farm yard so we could just lay back and behold the meteor-filled heavens. I was beyond happy to

Greg Wallace COMMENTARY hear this from her. I finally had a semi-willing participant to join me in my nocturnal stargazing habits. I let her pick out the spot in the yard, and I must say that she did an excellent job. It was out of the view of the yard light, which might obscure our view, but yet close enough to the house that we would have somewhat easy access to snacks and/or bathroom facilities. As we spread out the blanket, I was already starting to point out Orion’s Belt and how you can find the North Star by using the Big Dipper. That’s right, I was getting ready to go full-blown Carl Sagan on her with my vast knowledge of the galaxies, a portion of which might actually be correct. We laid back and we beheld the star-filled sky. She was brimming with questions. She was like my little Mr. Spock, ever curious about the mysteries of the universe. We were going to see bolts of light streak across the sky. This was going to be great. As I explained to her how fast the meteors that we were about to see were traveling, we heard a noise off in the distance. It was a high-pitched yipping noise. It was followed by several other yipping noises. Some were north of our position and some were more to the south and some to the west. Some were farther away while some of the yipping was much closer. I didn’t

really think too much about it until Spock asked me what the annoying noise was. I nonchalantly said that I thought it was probably coyotes. As I started to go into the spiel about the time I had seen the aurora borealis at a friend’s house many years ago, I realized that I was talking to myself. I propped my head up just quickly enough to see the shadowy visage of my chief science officer streaking across the dimly moonlit yard to the comparative safety of our front porch. Once she got inside the door, I swear I heard her lock it. Apparently, green-blooded Vulcans don’t particularly care for the wild North American coyote. As I lay there on that blanket contemplating that all of my daughter’s interests in the cosmos had disappeared at warp speed, another coyote started to howl. All of the sudden, I realized that I was the only thing on the menu at the time. It was time to go. So, depending on your viewpoint, in a rare occurrence, two bodies streaked across the horizon that night. The first was small, lightning-quick with a high-pitched squeal. The second didn’t move as fast, was much larger with possibly its own orbit and had an even higher-pitched scream to it. We just moved into this country house a short time ago and now I’ll probably have to start looking for another place to live ... one that is coyote-free. Stupid meteor shower.

GRANVILLE — From historic basketball and volleyball postseason runs to exceptional academics, the Putnam County High School Class of 2015 led the way in many areas, leaving the Class of 2016 and the underclassmen with a backseat view. However, this year that all changes with the Class of 2016 leading the way to possibly another deep postseason run. “Last year was a blast, and I think it was just enough to get this bunch hungry for more,” said volleyball coach Amy Bell when asked about returning to the sectional championship game. The Lady Panthers only return one starter this year, senior Tori Smoode, but Bell sees this as a positive. “We only return one starter, but that also means the others are ready and fighting to earn a spot to start or see more time this season,” said Bell. “The girls know that all

seven positions are open and they will have to work hard every day to earn and keep their spot.” The Lady Panthers opened up their season this week against Kewanee Wethersfield on Monday and Galva on Thursday and, according to Bell, they are ready. “There has been a lot of intensity in the gym this past week, and I am really proud of the improvements the girls have made so far,” said Bell. “It will be great to get on the court and find out what we need to continue working on.” The volleyball program has seen the departure of some pivotal classes the past couple years. Bell also coaches at Putnam County Junior High and has had the opportunity to coach this year’s freshmen since seventh grade, making what she says is “a world of a difference.” “I’m so excited to have had the opportunity to start with the now freshman as seventh graders,” said Bell. “The support of the coaching staff at the junior high and high school has greatly helped to make our program fluid from sixth to eighth grade.”

The Illinois 4-H Foundation annually recognizes one 4-H volunteer per county for exemplary service to the Illinois 4-H program as a Hall of Fame winner. This year, more than 800 supporters watched the induction of 70 new members into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame, the largest inductee class to date. Among those inducted was Deborah Leigh from Marshall County. This year celebrated the 11-year anniversary of the award, said Angie Barnard, director of the Illinois 4-H Foundation. The ceremony was held Saturday, Aug. 15, on the Director of Agriculture’s lawn on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. Ag Director Phil Nelson is a 4-H supporter and was last year’s Illinois 4-H Foundation Alumni Award winner. “These longtime volunteers fully embody what 4-H strives to instill

in youth,” Barnard said. “They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders, and the Illinois 4-H Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to each and every one of them to thank them for their service to this wonderful organization.” The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers and former 4-H staff. Nominations for the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame are made by University of Illinois Extension staff. Each inductee received a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion. “As a result of these volunteers’ years of service and leadership to Illinois 4-H,” Barnard said, “the program they love will continue to create brilliant futures for the young people whose lives it touches.” Leigh has worn many hats over her years with Marshall-Putnam 4-H. She has served as the meats judging coach for 12 years and has coached several teams to state championships and took the

Deborah Leigh state team to the American Royal National 4-H Meats Judging and Identification Contest. She was also the aerospace superintendent for seven years while also serving as the co-leader of the Bennington Go-Getters 4-H Club.

Al and Terri Faull announce IVCC scholarship opportunities OGLESBY — Though it’s been more than 45 years since he left the old barracks campus, Al Faull of Peru has never forgotten the good experience he had at Illinois Valley Community College in the late 1960s. “Al was in the first IVCC class in 1966, and went onto a successful career, but he never forgot where he started,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “The Faulls’ generous gift will help many of our automotive students gain solid careers themselves.” They will support mechanically inclined students as he was. Al and

his wife Terri will fund up to three scholarships for IVCC automotive technology students each year. The Albert and Terri Faull Scholarship will pay tuition, fees and book expenses for incoming freshmen who are residents of LaSalle, Peru, Oglesby and Spring Valley. Home schooled and GED graduates are also eligible. The Faulls have lived in the Illinois Valley their entire lives. Al studied mechanical technology under Don Haas when IVCC was located in LaSalle-Peru High School and moved with the program

Illinois Valley Community College meeting minutes OGLESBY — Following a public hearing Aug. 13, the Illinois Valley Community College Board approved a 2016 budget with total expenditures of $36.3 million, a 5.7 percent decrease, and total revenues of $33.5 million, a 7.2 percent decrease. Operating revenues are projected to be over $21.5 million, up $43,112 or .2 percent. The operating budget will be balanced by transferring $536,750 from auxiliary enterprises for IT infrastructure and $70,000 from working cash interest. More than $1.47 million will be spent to complete a student center and cyber café, final pieces of the building project financed 75 percent with state funding. In other business, the board approved: • The retirement of Jamie Gahm as director of continuing education and business services effective Dec. 31 after more than 30 years. Gahm’s supervisor said, “She is one of the most recognized faces of the college across the district. Jamie is respected by our partners in the community and known as a go-to person for making things happen.” • The resignation of nursing instructor Jennifer Savoia after five years. Savoia plans to pursue continuing education and teaching opportunities. • Restoring the part-time accounting clerk position to full-time. • The $247,211 bid of Arthur J. Gallagher with Hanover Insurance for property/casualty insurance — nearly 22 percent less than the college’s current premium — and Forrest

Sherer Inc. for workers’ compensation insurance. • The bond proposal from R.J. Galla through Liberty Surety First for three years at $29,743. • The proposals of Illinois Valley Community Hospital and St. Margaret’s Health to provide athletic trainer services for the next two years for $5,000 a year for each hospital. • The hiring of Interact Communications of Lacrosse, Wis., for $70,500 for enrollment, retention and marketing services. Interact, chosen from among eight firms submitting proposals, has worked solely with two-year colleges for the past 20 years and is led by renowned communication strategist Pam Cox-Otto. Interact’s work will include a district environmental scan, strategic plan, community image/needs assessment, marketing plan, campaign messaging, support for traditional and social media advertising, and analysis of advertising effectiveness. “Interact utilizes proven strategies that move the needle in terms of enrollment growth,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. The board also learned: • Continuing Education staff served 246 youth campers this summer. “These camps enhance awareness for what our college has to offer and helps young people explore academic and career options,” said Corcoran. • IVCC’s Project Success program recently secured a five-year funding commitment from the U.S. Department of Education. A total of 1,700 colleges applied for grants but only about 1,000 were funded. “Thanks to our outstanding Project Success staff, our application received a score

of 104 out of a possible 106 points – one of the highest scores in the nation,” said Corcoran. • Students from IVCC’s Phi Theta Kappa Rho Omega Chapter volunteered for the Easter Seals 5K Run/ Walk for Kids as part of Ottawa’s Riverfest and helped the event net $10,000. • Corcoran recognized Ottawa Center coordinator Jeannette Frahm for facilitating a tour for America in Bloom judges July 20 and 21. “Judges were impressed with the center’s landscaping, expertly maintained by a number of volunteers including trustee Jane Goetz and Foundation board director Karen Nussbaum.” • Recent express registration events in Ottawa and Princeton netted 183 credit hours. “We especially appreciate the hospitality shown us by the staff of the Bureau County Metro Center,” Corcoran noted. • A newly-formed IVCC/University of Illinois Extension Agriculture Education Development Steering Committee will meet Monday, Aug. 24. “Twenty-nine individuals have agreed to provide feedback on the agriculture education opportunities for IVCC as we look to expand offerings,” said Corcoran. • The president concluded his report saying, “One of my goals for the new fiscal year is to design and implement a plan to increase enrollment and I believe partnering with the extension on the development of a comprehensive mix of agriculture-related courses and entering into an agreement with Interact are two enormous steps forward in achieving that goal.”

HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Public Water District is moving its Sept. 8 meeting date to Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Copy All Service to transition to Impact Networking PERU — Impact Networking is beginning the rebranding process that was a result of its January 2015 acquisition of Copy All Service. Copy All Service has been in business for 55 years. Impact Networking is a provider of document technology and business process automation solutions, headquartered in Waukegan.

are dispatched and live locally. With the acquisition, the Peru office will further its offerings to include document management solutions. “We are still in the process of transitioning and we sincerely appreciate the patience of the local staff,” said CEO Frank Cucco. “But our united team will continue to bring a level of expertise and award-winning service to Copy All Service’s customers.” Impact Networking, founded in 1999, is a privately held company with 180 employees in 12 locations and 2014 revenues of $45 million.

Dynegy’s Hennepin Power Plant managing director Byron Veech (left) gives PC EMS director Andy Jackson a donation of $15,000 to help the ambulance service purchase new cardiac equipment.

Donation to help PC EMS By Darrell Alleman Special to the PCR

MCNABB — Dynegy Hennepin Power Plant donated $15,000 to the Putnam County ambulance service to help fund new LifePak 15 cardiac monitors. The donation was given after PC EMS director Andy Jackson contacted the Hennepin plant about a possible donation to

help replace two of the three cardiac monitors used by the ambulance service. “We get funding through the county. It is not enough, so we have to have fundraisers and donations. There is no state or federal funding for us,” Jackson said. “We knew the ambulance service was going to be down on the number of ambulances they

had to respond. With our 24-hour-a-day operation, we felt it was necessary to have multiple ambulances available,” Byron Veech, managing director of Dynegy’s Hennepin plant, said. Veech said he asked the corporate office for special funding to go above the usual donation level. Darrell Alleman may be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Patio, lights added to Gateway Arch PERU — Phase 2 of the St. Bede Gateway Arch, a gift to St. Bede last year from the members from the Class of 1964 has been completed. The addition to the Gateway Arch now includes a brick circular patio with flushed recessed lighting surrounding the arch, so it may be seen at night as well as day. After the dedication at homecoming last year, discussion began with the classmates of 1964 about adding lights to the arch. One of the classmates, Paul Robich, an architect

from California stated, “We really need to add lights to the arch to make the project complete.” It didn’t take long for the Class of ’64 to make the decision to begin Phase 2 and add to their class gift by funding the cost of the lighting project for the arch. Almost a year to the day of the groundbreaking for the arch last June, the bricks arrived on campus, and the arch was lit for the first time this week. Eager to see the completed project, many members of the Class of ’64, who celebrat-

ed their 50th reunion last year, plan to return to St. Bede at homecoming the weekend of Oct. 2-4 to see the “Arch in lights.” The arch was a welcoming symbol of St. Bede Academy for most of the first 65 years of the school’s existence. Around 1961, when the lane was widened and more parking was provided, the brick columns were removed. The arch returned to campus and was completed last September and now extends over the sidewalk at the north entrance to the school.
