Commission OKs rezoning for medical marijuana Public hearing held on possible facility; decision now heads to village board By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Village Planning and Zoning Commission met on Aug. 20 and held a public hearing regarding the possible rezoning of property north of the village. Phar-Mar Labs is interested in the former Modern Hard Chrome property as a location for a possible medical marijuana growing facility. Each Illi-

nois State Police District is allowed one medical marijuana facility. Hennepin and the Modern Hard Chrome property fall into District 17, along with Princeton, Spring Valley and other municipalities hoping to get the official nod. The law states that residential zoning is not allowed within 2,500 feet of a potential medical marijuana facility. Currently the property near Modern Hard Chrome is zoned as residential or R1.

The village would like to rezone the five residential properties to conservation. Residents Steve and Kathy Siemers who own one of the properties that would be affected attended the meeting. The Siemers spoke in the hearing about their concerns which included how the change would affect their property values, taxes, insurance and if it would limit their ability to do certain things with their property. “We want the freedom to do whatever we want to do with our lawn in conservation. If this doesn’t

go through, we would like it reverted to R1. We want some assurances that it’s really not going to hurt us,” Steve Siemers said. Zoning officer for the village Larry Brown explained what the changes would be in the restructured zoning. “The zoning ordinance says that anything that is allowed in R1 would be allowed in conservation,” Brown said. “Conservation would put it more in line with our rural residential area which is all the properties east of Illinois Route 26 where people have four or five acres and a house which is rural residential.

It would allow you to benefit in other things that you can’t do in residential like raise chickens or have horses or things like that in your property.” The current zoning ordinance was written in 2001, according to Mayor Kevin Coleman. Resident Debbie Buffington also commented on the issue. “The fact that there is no plan presented to the zoning board or the village as to what their security is going to be, those are my concerns,” Buffington said. Coleman said, “State law mandates so much security, you can’t get on the property without a pass.

Every square inch is under camera surveillance. Fencing is so high, it’s like Fort Knox.” There are approximately 24 facility applications for District 17. Application deadline is Sept. 22. The state will then have up to six months to review the applications and choose one facility for each Illinois State Police District. After all comments were given, the public hearing was closed and the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approved the zoning change. This recommendation will be given to the village board who met Aug. 26.

Is that a drone in Putnam County? Hennepin looks at possibilities By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Reviewing ordinances and the appointment of people to various boards were on the top of the agenda at the Hennepin Village Board meeting on Aug. 20. Enterprise Zone Ordinance 534 was reviewed and revised. A request had been made to expand the enterprise zone by TCI Enterprises. According to Mayor Kevin Coleman, this is part of the Bureau-Putnam Enterprise Zone. The goal of establishing an ordinance for the flying of drones was addressed. Village lawyer Roger Bolin brought up questions to the board concerning the ordinance after discussion with Coleman before the meeting. One question was the definition of what a drone would be: A radio-controlled plane with a camera mounted on it or a remote controlled helicopter with a camera mounted on it. Board member Quentin Buffington had done some research on the issue. “As I have read, if it’s airspace, the FAA has control, and we don’t. We can’t regulate the airspace over the city of Hennepin,” Buffington said.

Back to school ... back to budget McCracken introduces proposed FY 2015 budget By Dixie Schroeder

dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2015 was presented to the Putnam County School Board of Education at their monthly meeting on Aug. 18.

Emphasizing that the budget was a “flexible and fluid” document, Putnam County Superintendent Jay McCracken explained the total projected revenues for FY ‘15 will come in at $10,374,605. McCracken informed the board the projected expenditures will be $10,541,989. This will give the district a projected deficit budget

of $167,384. This is the second year in a row, a projected deficit budget has been given to the school board. In FY ‘14, the district ended up approximately $280,000 in the black after projecting an initial deficit budget. McCracken also reminded the board the FY’15 tentative budget has money set aside for building projects and curriculum needs, which a lot of

area school districts do not have the luxury of being able to do. “We don’t like deficit spending at all. We always try to be so careful in our budget spending during the year. Will we be able to do this (turn the deficit around) again this year? It is doubtful, as expenditures continue to rise. I’m not going to pretend every

TONICA — Many people who own antique cars store them away. They spend the days up on blocks and only come out for car shows and the occasional summer spin. Russell “Coonie” Alleman and his family would have none of that idea. Alleman owned four Model As, selling one within the past two years ago. After he died last month, the other three passed to his wife and children. Alleman drove his Model As

regularly, and like their father, the kids take them out on a fairly regular basis. “I took one out to Darrell’s Field of Dreams event the other night,” daughter Kim Goodbred said. “’Skeeter’ (Kevin Alleman) drives that one (a convertible), and the truck gets driven

the least lately, although it’s been driven the most throughout the years. I learned how to drive on that one. Both of my brothers did too.” Learning how to drive in the Model As is a bit of a tradition in the Alleman family.

“Papa told me if you learn how to drive one of these, you can learn how to drive anything,” Goodbred said. “He was driving his Grandpa Amos around in the Model A when he was 11 or 12 because his grandpa was blind. And now my daughter is learning how to

So we all know how to drive Pop’s cars.” When Goodbred’s daughter Lexi started learning how to drive, “Coonie” had her name put on the license plate for the Model A sedan. “He told my boys, ‘You can’t name a car after a girl,’ so that car became ‘Lexi.’” The three Model As will stay in the family as long as possible with two of the cars going to her brothers and the last staying with their mother. No matter where they end up, they’ll still be chalking up mileage. “Papa’s rules: They get driven,” Goodbred said. “If they just sit in the garage, they’re not worth anything. Pop told me all the time. ‘You gotta drive them.’”

Codification of village ordinances Granville looks further into the possibility By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

GRANVILLE — The Granville Village Board wasted little time churning through a very light agenda at its Aug. 19 meeting, with the topic garnering the most discussion being the proposed codification of village ordinances. The codification will streamline the village’s ordinances, eliminating any which have been repealed, then post them online with a link to the ordinances on the village website. The board discussed the process in 2012 but decided at that time not to do anything. Two companies have been contacted about the codification, one in Kenosha, Wis., and the other in Idaho. However, not everyone seems to be enthused about pushing ahead with the project. “You’re looking at between $10,000 to $15,000,” Mayor Doug Gimble said. “If you’re not willing to spend that, there’s no sense in even having (the representa-

In other action, the board: • Approved the low bid from Pavement Maintenance of Henry of $23,453.75 for the village’s seal coat project which was under the engineer’s estimate by about $370. The project is expected to start soon. • Approved the amendment to the Bureau/ Putnam Enterprise Zone ordinance. The amendment adds another five acres to the zone west of Walnut. The zone is limited to 15 square miles, but North Central Illinois Council of Governments representative Ben Wilson told the board there is still approximately 1,100 acres still open. • Discussed the Field of Dreams event at Alleman Field and the scheduled Aug. 22 circus at the Putnam County High School. • Noted discussion of raises for the village employees will take place at the Sept. 2 meeting. • Noted the village received two bids for the purchase of a new squad car.

tives) come. I’m not trying to discourage you either way. I just want to find out how you feel.” “I wasn’t willing to do this last time because we didn’t have that much money,” board member Jim Pettit said. “We’re in a better position to do this, and in my opinion, we need to move forward with it.” Updates for the service cost about $500 a year, which includes adding any new ordinances passed by the village. The website would be searchable and allow

residents to find ordinances online without coming to the village hall. Village engineer Mike Richetta said Peru has its ordinances codified and consults them anytime he’s involved in construction in the town. “It’s a benefit for the residents, but it’s a real benefit for the council because all of your ordinances are brought forward,” Richetta said. “You find conflicting ordinances and can pare them out.” The board elected to go forward with the project and solicit bids for the job.

Budget From Page 1

year that we will be able to reverse the deficit spending,” he said. “Our facilities are some of the nicest in the area, and we are also putting a lot of money back in the curriculum. We are managing this budget well. It is the work of all of us; it’s not just one person.” McCracken gave credit to the teachers, staff and building principals who keep the expenses in check during the school year. The tentative budget hearing for the district’s FY ‘15 budget will be at 6 p.m. Sept. 15 before the regular scheduled September board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Also, the district has changed health care providers and approved a new provider, Illinois School Employees Benefits Consortium (ISEBC). McCracken explained to the board the district was incurring expenses of $2,000 per month in regards to the new health care reform laws. These fees the district absorbed last year, but the district did not want to pass them onto the teachers and staff for FY ‘15. The move to ISEBC will save the employees of the district money depending on what degree of health coverage they take. The ISEBC with Health Alliance as the insurance will become effective for the district on Sept. 1. “The fees associated with the healthcare reform act are now embedded in the cost of the insurance, of which the district pays most of the premium for the individual employee’s coverage,” McCracken said. In other business, Putnam County music

teacher Natalie Hulstrom presented details on a proposed trip for the band and chorus to take to New York City in the summer of 2016. The trip, which is tentatively scheduled for June 5-10, will have the students taking a charter bus and giving two music presentations, one by the band and one by the chorus. Students and chaperones will also tour Radio City Music Hall, the Sept. 11 Memorial and attend a Broadway show and classroom workshop during their stay. Hulstrom said the tour will include a tour manager and private hotel security for the students. Currently planning on taking 55 students and chaperones, the projected costs will be $913 per person. Students in the music program begin working on fundraising projects in sixth grade to help defray the personal costs of the trip. The board also made some personnel changes at the end of the meeting for the 2014-15 school year. They hired Linda Feurer as the first semester’s family/consumer science teacher and Angela Augspols as an English teacher, both at the high school. Kristopher Sienza was hired as a math teacher at the junior high. Special education aide Gina Heiser was transferred from the elementary school to the junior high school. The board also accepted the resignations of Samantha Fifer, high school family/consumer science; Kaitlyn Ralph, high school English; Lori Miller junior high math; and Alaina Sunken, junior high special education aide. Several paraprofessionals were also hired.

Street work continues in Mark By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MARK — The road repairs will continue in Mark. At its Aug. 19 meeting, the village board accepted the bid for the next street project. Advanced Asphalt of Princeton will start performing work on Division street shortly after submitting the winning bid of $76,948. The bid was nearly $10,000 less than estimated, although there are stipulations Mayor Frank

Narcziewski directed village engineer Jack Kusek to add, which were not in the original bid. “I want the shoulders trenched out, and I want the road as wide as possible,” Narcziewski said. “There’s not much room on either side when you drive through.” Narcziewski also expressed an interest in reenforcing entry ways from homes onto the street. Meanwhile, work on St. Paul Street resulted in a day-long boil order for part of the village.

“There’s been a few surprises. We hit the water main running across the street,” Kusek said. “There are tiles there that we didn’t know were there.” In addition, several pipes have not been located where village and county diagrams would indicate, making the work a bit more difficult than expected. One of the pipes the workers dug up had soapy water in it while another apparently contained sewage run-off.

Both tiles were feeding into the storm system and will be rerouted to the sewer system. Kusek also recommended a storm sewer pipe along the street be abandoned and residents unhook their downspouts from the tile. He told the board the tile is actually illegal due to its proximity to the water main. The board also received a clean audit report from Hopkins and Associates concerning the village annual budget.

American Board of Otolaryngology certifies Musgrave PERU — Dr. Brandon Musgrave, an ear, nose and throat specialist on the medical staff at Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru, has been certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto). Musgrave joined the IVCH medical staff in August 2013 after completing an otolaryngology

residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. He is a magna cum laude graduate with a degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois in ChampaignUrbana, and graduated in the top third of his medical school class from the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Board certification is

a voluntary program in which specialists seek to improve their performance and demonstrate a commitment to their profession, according to an ABOto statement. Board certified otolaryngologists must meet ABOto training requirements, pass psychometrically validated examinations, and partici-

pate in the board’s maintenance-of-certification process. Musgrave’s office is in the IVCH Medical Group ENT, Allergy and Sleep Center located in the lower level of Building B across West Street from the hospital. Appointments can be made by calling 815-2234400.

Drones

“They’re trying to catch up to the technology,” Buffington said. The board directed Bolin to research and talk to some major municipalities to see if any have an ordinance currently in place. The drone ordinance was then tabled. The board also appointed Paul Loiselle of Hennepin to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Jane Loiselle was appointed to the Scholarship Committee, taking the place of Gilbert Tonozzi who retired from the committee. Coleman also reported on the research to develop a plan to restore the

cannon in Walter Durley Boyle Park. Coleman has found the cannon was made at a Westpoint Foundry between 1859 to 1861. It is a field cannon, and the concrete beneath it is deteriorating. According to Coleman, a possible restoration plan would include a base made with a monument style of stone that would be more durable with the cannon secured on the new base. Then new plaques identifying local veterans could be affixed to the base. After discussion it was agreed it would be helpful if a community group stepped up to help organize this process.

Discussion was also held on the possible rezoning of the property north of Interstate 180 from residential one (R1) to conservation. The former Modern Hard Chrome property is being looked at by Phar-Mar Labs, a company who is interested in obtaining the District 17 contract from the state to grow medical marijuana. The board temporarily adjourned the meeting to await the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation as to what action to take. The board met again on Aug. 26 to officially vote on this rezoning issue.

From Page 1 Bolin asked what specific objective or policy the board has with the ordinance in mind. “I’m just thinking of trying to stop something before it starts,” Coleman said. “We’ve got 28, 30 pools in town. I can just see someone in the summer flying over this guy’s backyard or that.” Buffington suggested tabling the motion until the FAA establishes some of their rules and regulations. He noted the goal is to have something in place in early 2015.

Linn Goldsmith HENNEPIN — Linn Carr Goldsmith passed away Friday, Aug. 22, 2014. Linn was born Dec. 14, 1934, to Frederick Carr Goldsmith and Edith Linn Goldsmith of Mattoon. Linn’s father was on the cutting edge of refrigeration sales in the 1940s and that business took the family to Chicago where Linn spent his early life. At the age of 15, the family moved to a farm outside of Crawfordsville, Ind., where Linn spent the remainder of his teen years enjoying small town farm life and graduating from high school. He attended Purdue University, met the love of his life, Susan Goldsmith, of Indianapolis, Ind., and in 1956 he earned a Bachelor of Science in agricultural economics. In 1957 Linn and Susan wed in Indianapolis. Immediately following their nuptials the young newlyweds deployed to Okinawa, Japan, where Linn served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. After three years of service, Linn and Susan returned to the United States, now a young family with daughter Margaret and newborn son Richard. Linn worked full-time supporting the family while attending the University of Chicago

She was a teacher and taught science and math at the military academy in Charleston, S.C., and she Gloria Morgan was a Spanish teacher at Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico. Gloria loved flowers, but roses were her favorite flower and she enjoyed planting and taking care of them in her garden. Survivors are her hus-

Lauderdale, Fla.; one stepson, Norman Morgan of Richland, Miss.; one brother, Luis Fernando Matos of Puerto Rico; one sister, Josefina Matos of Puerto Rico; and three grandchildren, Tiffany, Danielle and Lissette.

School of Law. He earned his Juris Doctor, graduating at the top of his class, began employment at Mayer, Linn Goldsmith Brown, and Platt law firm in Chicago and enjoyed the arrival of his third child, daughter Carol. Through a series of connections and fortunate events, Linn was introduced to attorney Durley Boyle of Hennepin, who was looking for a law partner of stature to join his law practice. Durley felt that Linn was his man, so Linn moved his young wife and family to Granville in 1965. Thus began the law firm of Boyle and Goldsmith, for decades one of the most well-respected law firms in central Illinois, consistently earning the American Bar Association’s highest honors. The firm continued to grow and expand its success in the following years with the arrival of Scott Shore and Roger Bolin. Linn was busy in for the next 30 years running the thriving law practice, raising a family, and following his passion for gardening, hunting, and voraciously reading history, economics

and science. His peers knew him as a formidable foe in the courtroom, a man of the deepest possible integrity, and a fair and just attorney. His family knew him as a devoted husband, and a dedicated, wise, fascinating and loving father. His friends knew him as exceptionally good company, a man with an infectious sense of humor and a tireless hunting companion. In 1987 Linn and Susan built their dream home in Hennepin Farms. Susan perfected the inside of the home to her taste while Linn created a showplace of flower and vegetable gardens. In those years Linn and Susan enjoyed traveling to such locales as Egypt, Africa and the Mediterranean.

Is it race or rage? July 2 marked the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The legislation is considered a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. We sure have picked some crummy ways of commemoration. By now, you know about the tension in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo. The uproar over the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown — a black teenager — by Darren Wilson — a white police officer — on COMMENTARY Aug. 9. The majority of police in Ferguson are white, while the majority of residents are black. As you might guess, racial motives are being thrown around non-stop. It doesn’t help when there are two wildly differing accounts of the incident with one supported mainly by the police department. Perhaps not so coincidentally, a relatively short distance away in St. Louis proper, a mentally disturbed 25-year-old Kajieme Powell was shot and killed by two police officers. As you may have guessed, the victim was black; the police officers were white. Again, major discrepancies occur between a video recording of the incident and a statement from the city chief of police. Fly across the country more than a month ago to July 1 and Los Angeles, Calif., where a 51-year-old woman — Renee Pinnock — was videotaped being pummelled by California Highway Patrolman Daniel Andrew. Andrew is diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and was walking onto a freeway where she would be a danger to herself and others. Rather than simply restraining her, Andrew pinned her down, straddling her body as he punched her in the face three times, supposedly for her own good. Again, police officer is white, while the punching bag is black. Now I’m going to do something no one else has done; I’m taking out the race card. In each of the three cases, the officers felt they — or others — were threatened. In each case, there is video taken of the incident that both collaborates and disputes the policemen’s stories. Whether or not race played into each of the incidents is less important than this: In each case, the police officers involved used excessive force. In the case of Brown, the victim was unarmed. While Powell had a knife, the officers had ample opportunity to diffuse the situation, but started the encounter belligerent and sent it spiraling out of control. Pinnock was not only unarmed, but hardly in the physical condition to cause a police officer any harm whatsoever. Yes, the case can certainly be made each incident was racially involved. However, the real problem was inappropriate use of force by the law officers involved. Finding the blame is important, but is lethal force necessary to find the truth?

Field of Dreams While Jeanne and I were sitting under the stars on Aug. 2 at Alfonso Mazzini Memorial Park waiting for the fireworks to start, during Mark’s Homecoming, I looked up at the lighted cross on the old coal mine with the children playing on the hill.

Then I thought of the Granville Cruise night the evening before and also the successful FFA auction. What great people we have in our small towns to volunteer their time and money to put on these events. Hennepin and Henry’s Fourth of July fireworks, McNabb, Magnolia, Lostant, Tonica, Wenona days and Standard’s tractor pull are amazing.

HENNEPIN — Seatbelts save lives; something most people realize. In accordance, child safety seats save lives as well. However, if not used correctly, car seats can be just as dangerous. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention notes motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States. Many of these deaths can be prevented by buckling children in age- and size-appropriate car seats, booster seats, and seat belts. As many parents know, car seats can be confusing to install. A study by SeatCheck indicates while about 96 percent of parents are confident in the installation of their child’s safety seat, 70 percent have them installed incorrectly. How can you tell if it’s safe? Stop by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department and talk to Deputy Butch Gapinski. He is certified as a child seat inspector. “We didn’t have anyone certified as a safety technician, and my wife had become pregnant. I knew that very soon I was going to have to trust my baby to travel in vehicles, and I wanted to know more about car seats,” Gapinski said. “We had the baby before I went to class, and I learned how much I didn’t know about car seats.” In order to become certified, Gapinski took a class with three days of intensive instruction which included installing and inspecting car seats of different makes. The final day, the class set up a safety inspection station where the officers showed residents how to install their seats and be comfortable with the knowledge. “There’s so much to know; you can’t learn it on your own just by reading a book,” Gapinski said. “You could try to read the book on

Putnam County Deputy Sheriff Butch Gapinski recently completed a fourday course through the Illinois State Police on child seat safety and installation. Gapinski took the course in preparation for his own child being born but said the lessons he learned have helped him make several other children in the county safer. Car accidents are still one of the leading causes of death in children under 8 years of age. the vehicle and on the car seat, and you still might come up short.” Although Gapinski said the course was intensive and informative, he said he still refers to his manual on a regular basis due to the sheer volume of seat models and the varying ways they need to be installed. “I had never installed a car seat before, but I had seen others do so,” Gapinski said. “What I found was many people aren’t getting their seats strapped in as tight as they should be. In some seats, there may be a couple ways listed to install

a seat, but you can only use one. Unless you read the manual for the vehicle, you can’t be sure which to use. Some people will think, ‘I’ll use both methods, so they’ll be twice as safe.’ It doesn’t work like that. It makes it much less safe.” Among the mistakes people make using car seats are not using the right child safety seats for a child’s size and age or not placing the child safety seat in the correct direction. With so many variables involved in installing a car seat, getting your installation checked out can make all the difference.

World’s largest national mock election accepting enrollees for 2014 midterms The National Student/Parent Mock Election, founded in 1980, takes place Oct. 30 and is expected to involve more than one million children, teens and adults nationwide WASHINGTON, D.C. – Schools and teachers nationwide are encouraged to enroll now for the National Student/Parent Mock Election (NSPME), which has helped introduce more than 50 million children, teens and adults to democracy since 1980. Coordinators who can help recruit and guide participating schools in their designated state or region are also needed, according to NSPME organizers. “The NSPME is fortunate to have the decadeslong support of tens of thousands of volunteers who are devoted, as we are, to ‘passing the torch’ of democracy,” says Gloria Kirshner, co-founder of the NSPME. “We need even more of these civic-minded volunteers to help us preserve and expand this great

tradition of the world’s largest national mock election.” Every two years, 59 educational, civic, business and religious organizations join with the NSPME to support the mock election. Participation is free to students and teachers from kindergarten through college and technical schools, all of whom can enroll through the NSPME website, www.nationalmockelection.org. All participating classes receive free downloadable teachers’ guides, sample student materials, and a mechanism to record votes, either online or by other means. Teachers decide how to lead their classes in the national mock election beyond voting. Projects have historically included art displays, debates, con-

tests, plays, songs, essay writing, visits from public officials, candidate forums, pep rallies and other forms of school-wide celebrations. Participants vote on governors, senators, congressional representatives and current issues. After the mock election, five national professional organizations join to provide awards for outstanding projects by state, school, district and more. Results of the mock election are posted online no more than 24 hours after ballots are tallied. Sample ballots are available for practice several weeks before the mock election. Experts have recognized the NSPME and other voter education projects as essential to young people’s healthy development. The University of Colorado, for example, found in its research that the NSPME provided five broad benefits to students: www.nationalmockelection.org “Preserving Democracy for Generations to Come” nspme@ aol.com

• Increased political decision-making ability. • The belief that voting is important. • Informed involvement on current issues. • The belief that social studies classes are relevant. • The discussion of political and election topics with parents. • A reduction in an overall sense of powerlessness. The National Association of Secondary School Principals has also noted a possible connection between participation in the NSPME and increased civic engagement among young voters. Pew Charitable Trust raises the possibility that voter education projects like the NSPME may be one reason why the Millennial Generation is more politically active than the previous Generation X. And the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning (CIRCLE), a nonprofit group that researches information on civic education, proclaims mock election projects like the NSPME to be “habitforming.

“When young people learn the voting process and vote, they are more likely to do so when they are older,” CIRCLE says on its website. “So getting young people to vote early could be key in raising a new generation of voters.” Schools that have lost social studies or civics classes because of budget or curriculum cuts may find the NSPME a promising means to help fill the remaining void of civics education, Kirshner points out. NSPME’s outreach to national and state education organizations comes just as the group embarks on several improvements intended to modernize and expand its ability to inspire young voters. New plans include a modernized balloting system, a physical presence in Washington, D.C., a new website, increased social media outreach, and greater numbers participating than ever before. Also in the works is a collaboration with Voter-

Buzz LLC, a start-up social network and voter education website that aims to help the nonprofit become selffunded in time for the 2016 election season. Donations to the NSPME of any level or amount, from individuals or corporations and including in-kind, are welcome. The NSPME also offers an attractive sponsor package to those who share the group’s mission of promoting voting as the strongest means to “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” For more information on becoming a coordinator, send an email to the National Student/Parent Mock Election at nspme@aol.com. To enroll your class or school, go to www.nationalmockelection.org. To inquire about partnerships or sponsorships, contact Christine Hawes at 941-780-3046 or chris@ voterbuzz.com.

BPART transportation systems announces changes in service PRINCETON — The BPART transportation system is making changes to trips inside and outside the Bureau and Putnam County service area and increasing fares effective Oct. 1. The changes in service are being made due to increased costs of fuel, increased vehicle repairs and increased ridership. BPART provided more than 75,000 trips from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 which was an 18 percent increase in transportation over last year. BPART also provided service to about 1,500 residents from Bureau and Putnam counties. “BPART has seen significant growth. On average, BPART provides 6,400 trips per month,” said Larry Kerrick, BPART program administrator. “Each provider had to reevaluate how the entire system works, and have

to make these changes at this time. We don’t want to face another budget deficit like last fiscal year.” A single bus will go to Ottawa on Mondays and Peoria on Thursdays at $20 round trip. A rider’s appointment must be scheduled between 9 a.m. and noon or the ride will not be eligible for service. Service to IVCC students is also seeing a change. Instead of having designated arrival and departure times, the students are to call the main dispatch and schedule their trips to the college. The IVCC rate for students will be $8 for a round trip. “BPART is a very valuable service, and we need to take these steps to continue to provide the greatest amount of service to the public,” said Jeff Dean, president/CEO of Gateway Services Inc.,

Alleman thanks all who made Aug. 8 a success “Build it, and they will come.” There is so much truth in that statement; the Putnam County Rotary and the Alleman Field of Dreams hosted a 25th anniversary celebration of the movie with Frank Dardis and seven other actors in the movie. People came, babies, all ages of ball players, children, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers and people of all ages. We all know that Putnam County is a baseball community. Actually the Rotary and I only expected one player, Frank Dardis, who Jeanne and I met at the Dyersville, Iowa, Field of Dreams. This wonderful man said he would like to see our diamond here in Granville some time. This early summer I thought of inviting him to come, and I remembered how he played ball with the children who were visiting the Field of Dreams at Dyersville. I knew our local kids and ball players would like to meet and play catch with this White Sox uniformed player. I also realized it would be a big undertaking for Jeanne and I to do it all, so I brought it up to my fellow Rotarians. They were

glad to be part of the event and started making plans. Several local village boards, businesses, individuals and several fellow Rotarians pitched in to cover expenses. The event was free to everyone. My heart was full to see old friends, new friends, the young ball players and the 1919 Chicago White Sox players all on the Field of Dreams ballfield. I never dreamed that high. I built it so Jeanne and my large family who are all ballplayers would come home often to see us and play ball on the field. While writing this article, we got a call from our granddaughter in Alaska; Roxanna Anderson and her husband, Aaron, just had a baby boy called Araih Kimery. He makes our seventh great grandchild, another ballplayer. Frank certainly pulled one on me and the Rotary by bringing the other wonderful players to surprise us and shock us. He also brought his wife with him. So many people have told Jeanne and I what a nice lady she is; we immediately loved her too. When Frank told the crowd if you want to take

a picture of me, coming out of the corn, be ready, I will go in and come out. Everyone stood watching as he disappeared into the corn. I had my camera ready as did a lot of other people. We waited and waited, then I saw a White Sox ballplayer coming out of the corn, and it was not Frank. Then more players were walking out of the corn with Frank. I could not talk. I was dumbfounded. I thought my heart might burst, it was pumping so hard. I looked around at everyone else. Everyone was screaming, laughing and enjoying what they were seeing. It was amazing; none of us believed what we were seeing. When Jeanne and I had our picture taken with these 1919 Sox players, I kept telling them what wonderful people they are. They then played ball with all the kids on the diamond; they played jokes on the kids; everyone was smiling, laughing and enjoying the goings on. Earlier in the evening, Rotarian Karen Karczewski said she had seen several cars with Iowa license plates. I was surprised, but thought some of Frank’s friends must

The Putnam County Rotary Field of Dreams event featured the 1919 players from the Chicago “Black Sox” team as they emerged from the cornfield at Alleman’s Field of Dreams north of Granville on Aug. 8. have come. I was not thinking they were Sox players. Jeanne and I and the

Putnam County Rotary want to thank all the great people who support this Field of Dreams

night. Thank you as well to all the great people who attended it too! Darrell Alleman
