PUTNAM COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

State funding doing better this year But education dollars from last year haven’t been fully paid yet BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — While doing much better than during the years of Illinois’ multiyear budget standoff, Springfield is still behind in providing funding to the Putnam County School District. “Which is ironic, since they’re the ones who mandated it,” Superintendent Carl Carlson said at the district’s Sept. 17 board meeting. During the years Illinois operat-

ed without a budget and before the implementation of a revised funding formula, the local school district was owed several hundred thousand dollars, and the schools of the Illinois Valley were owed a total of several million dollars in mandated funding. Currently, the state still owes the Putnam County School District $207,328.85 from fiscal year 2017-18. This amount is comprised of more than $21,000 for special education funding; more than $141,000 for trans-

portation costs; almost $40,000 for early childhood education; approximately $2,600 for an agriculture grant; more than $800 for the Illinois Free Lunch Program; and more than $1,400 in other state revenue. However, for the current fiscal year, the state owes only $135.20 for the lunch program. “This is much better than it has been in a long time,” Carlson said. Also during the meeting, the board approved its fiscal year 201819 budget.

Library at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27. Borys, of LaSalle, is the author of a “Street Stories Suspense” series based on her experiences as a volunteer among homeless youth in Chicago. Her new book, titled “Cry Baby Cry,” is the fourth in the series.

Stewart, of Spring Valley, is the author of “Leaves of the Linden Tree,” a sequel to her novel “The Wanderers.” She’s also had three poetry collections published. The event is free and open to the public.

VILLAGE OF GRANVILLE

Board eyes other streets needing repairs Leftover money from McCoy Street could pay for more fixes BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — The village of Granville continues to benefit from the savings provided by the McCoy Street project’s unexpectedly lower costs. During the board’s Sept. 18 meeting, members discussed looking for other areas in the community where road repairs are needed. The McCoy Street project was initially expected to cost about $550,000, but was bid out for $368,000. This allowed the village to add approximately $35,000 worth of additions to broaden the scope of the improvements while still realizing substantial savings. During the board’s previous meeting, village engineer Mike Richetta, of Chamlin & Associates, began discussions to once again add to the project. The new work addition would reconfigure the sidewalk and curbing on the northwest corner of the intersection at Hopkins and McCoy streets. He had no financial figures then, but he now estimates the improvements could cost up to $52,000, but would likely be lower. This new addition would increase accessibility and include a ramp, a new walkway, a foundation wall, new steps into Granville National Bank, and an ADA-compliant handrail. Board member Tina Dolder suggested the village look elsewhere in the community to see where repairs where needed. “I think we should do this now and be done with McCoy Street for a while,” Village President Jared Baker said. “We’ve got about $170,000

left. We could do this and still have money to do more, and that doesn’t happen very often.”

Water projects Richetta also reported on the progress of the village’s water treatment plant improvements. The project will have a total cost of $552,000 and 75 percent of that will be funded through a federal development grant. He said the project is progressing as expected and is about 80 percent completed. The board approved a payment of approximately $114,000. Richetta also reported there was no news in regards to the EPA’s findings at the village’s waste water treatment plant. The village received a quote of $10,800 to sandblast, primer and paint the lower portion of the water tower.

In other board news • Those residents confused by letters concerning either opting in or out of the village’s electrical aggregation program are encouraged to

contact the village hall. Secretary Tracie Haage said the letters are legitimate and that she’d be happy to explain what is required of residents. Depending upon which program they belong to, residents have been receiving one of two separate notifications. • The board approved a $500 donation to the PC Wellness after-school program. This program is for all grades and benefits local students. Resident Sean Coleman spoke to the board to discuss a possible future donation to the Illinois Valley Animal Rescue (IVAR). He said the parking lot of the shelter was in poor condition and in need of gravel. He’s already secured a donation of about 40 tons of gravel from LaFarge Aggregates in Utica and was seeking either a financial donation or the use of the village truck and an employee to help haul the material to IVAR. “They do good work, don’t have much money, and are in need of some help,” he said of IVAR. The board will announce its decision at an upcoming meeting. • At the board’s request, Josh Powell, of Rocket Communications, attended the meeting to describe his company’s new service to the village. Their tower was installed in February, and customers can now have wireless internet service with no data caps or overage fees. After a $200 installation fee, residents can purchase a standard package with a download speed of six MBPS for $49 per month. Powell said, however, most customers choose the upgrade to 12 MBPS for $69 a month. Other selections include download speeds of 18 and 30 MBPS. Customers can use their own router or rent one for $7 a month. After installation costs are met, Rocket Communications also provides free service for churches and fire departments. • The next Granville Village Board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 2.

HENNEPIN VILLAGE BOARD

Village’s text alert system is now available to residents BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — With vehicles regularly parking along the streets near Putnam County Elementary School, the path bus drivers and motorists must take is often winding and congested. To ease their routes and increase safety for drivers and children in the area, the village of Hennepin is considering parking restrictions during school hours. Discussions during the village board meeting on Sept. 19 focused on the areas of Fifth and Sixth streets from High Street to the school. The board will seek input from Principal Courtney Balestri and Johannes Bus Service, as well as from interested parents and area residents. The board will also need to decide how the potential changes

would be enforced. “With cars parked on the sides of the street, everyone has to weave in and out of traffic, and with all the children running around at the same time, it feels unsafe,” Board member Karyn Christiansen said.

Following the recent burglaries of 18 vehicles, the village has contacted Rocket Communications to inquire about the installation of security cameras. “We could have three cameras installed in different areas of the village and routed into and monitored by the sheriff’s office for five to six thousand dollars plus a yearly maintenance fee,” Board member Quentin Buffington reported. If the village decides to pursue this option, the location of the cameras won’t be publicized. “We can’t monitor everything, so it’s still important that everyone

ILLINOIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Long gives his version of harassment complaint Streator Republican lawmaker says he won’t resign from seat BY DEREK BARICHELLO Shaw Media State Rep. Jerry Long gave his account Sept. 19 of an incident that brought about harassment allegations, admitting he touched a former co-worker’s neck, but saying he doesn’t believe he did anything wrong. A spokeswoman for the House Republican Organization said Long’s story doesn’t match what was found in an independent investigation and that the organization has a zero tolerance policy for harassment. On Sept. 12, the House Republican Organization asked the Streator Republican to resign, and the organization, along with the Illinois Republican Party, withdrew support of his campaign. Other state lawmakers, including

Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, and Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, who either share or have adjacent districts to Long’s 76th, have asked for his resignation. Long said he will not State Rep. resign. He is opposed in Jerry Long the November election R-Streator by Democrat Lance Yednock, of Ottawa, in a race considered a battleground between the two parties.

Long’s account On the Friday before Labor Day, Aug. 31, Long said one of his staff members called him to her computer, but he can’t recall what the two of them were looking at on the screen. He said the staff member was not feeling well. “She was at the computer. I’m standing right behind, and I’m looking at it,” Long told The Times Wednesday. “She leans back. She goes, ‘Ah man I’m tense, I’m getting a migraine headache.’ And I grabbed her neck. Not grab. I touched her

neck. And I said: ‘You do feel tense.’ And then I said I’m going to grab my stuff and go.” Long said he then took some interns to a pizza restaurant in Ottawa. When he returned from dinner, the staff member had left. He said he had never touched the complainant before this incident. Long didn’t speak to the staff member all weekend and the co-worker didn’t answer her text messages Monday or Tuesday. Long received a call later that Tuesday indicating a complaint had been made to the House Republican Organization and he was being investigated for harassment. Long said initially investigators told him they were looking into “sexual harassment.” “Once they realized the touch wasn’t sexual harassment, they said it’s a hostile work environment,” Long said. Long said he couldn’t initially figure what the complaint was about, until he remembered about a day and a half later when his wife woke him up on her way to work. “She walked out of the house. I laid

down, and five minutes later, my mind is wandering,” Long said. “I actually sat up quickly, holding my head. ‘I touched her neck. I touched her neck. I touched her neck.’ That’s how inconsequential it was.” Eleni Demertzis, from the office of House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, said Long’s story was not the one received from the complainant. The complainant issued a written statement last week through the House Republican Organization after Long told media he had done nothing wrong. Her name was withheld to respect a request for privacy. “Rep. Long’s denial of his actions and behavior are troubling and disappointing. “While there was an incident of physical harassment, the verbal abuse and abuse of power on a daily basis resulted in a hostile work environment that put anyone around him at risk. “It is my sincere hope that Rep. Long resigns from his position and gets the help that he needs.”

Robo calls On Sept. 14, Long addressed his constituents on his Facebook page,

explaining the complaint stemmed from a disagreement with a staff member regarding a robocall. “I refused to record HRO’s message and recorded my own message to the people I represent, which infuriated the (employee),” Long wrote then. “Rather than allow me the ability to speak my own mind and represent the 76th District, the HRO has used this simple disagreement as a way to pull their support.” During the Sept. 19 interview, Long said he made the post to demonstrate the contentious relationship he had with the House Republican Organization. He said he and the staff member were working on robocalls the staff member had written prior to the incident in question. He said the two of them were frustrated with the GOP organization. “She wanted me to read it, and it didn’t sound like me,” Long said. “It wouldn’t roll off my tongue. So I started scratching parts of it out and rewriting other parts. And I said, ‘Wow, who wrote this?’ ‘I did.’ ‘Sorry, no offense, this doesn’t sound like me.’ We reorganized it. We did the robocall. We did the recording.” Long said he didn’t raise his voice or slam his hand on the table during this interaction. “My frustration has always been with the Republican party, they

constantly butted heads with me on running my campaign,” Long said. On Sept. 13, Long told WCMY radio he was a “demanding boss”: “It’s not sexual harassment content. What it is, is because the nature of this campaign being high pressure and high-paced, and I can be demanding. It’s extremely important to understand I expect a lot out of people. That’s what the allegation is.”

Long says HRO wants him out Long believes the complaints against him stem from his contentious relationship with the House Republican Organization. “If they lose one seat, Democrats don’t gain the supermajority,” Long said. “They can afford to lose one seat. In 2016, they threatened to pull money three different times. I feel they were just ready to let the seat go, because of our contentious relationship. Maybe they feel they can cut their losses on this one, and gain another seat. So they can recoup what they’re going to lose here. “I think they figure they can get enough representatives and senators to rise up against me, call me to resign,” Long said. “I’m not going anywhere. I was hired by the people to represent the people. I’m going to continue to represent the people. If they decide to vote me out, then that’s up to them.”

Robert Milan, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern Illinois District, conducted the internal investigation, along with Andrea Gonzalez, both of Alvarez & Marsal. The investigation was a workplace investigation, not criminal. No report has been released, including to Long, who said he is requesting documentation. “The facts brought forward by the complainant were corroborated by a witness and ultimately deemed truthful and founded by the independent investigators,” Demertzis said in a statement Sept. 19. “Leader Durkin and his leadership team stand by the independent investigator’s report and subsequent actions rendered to Rep. Long.” The House Republican Organization said it was made aware of “Long’s behavior” over Labor Day weekend. “We immediately brought in a third party firm to investigate these allegations, and upon completion of their report on Sept. 12, a decision was made to withdraw support of Rep. Long’s campaign, restrict access to all caucus resources and recommend he step down from his position,” Demertzis said in a statement last week. “The House Repub-

lican caucus and organization has a zero tolerance policy on harassment of any kind.” There have been a series of harassment allegations in Illinois politics. Last month, state Rep. Nick Sauer, R-Lake Barrington, resigned following a report of accusations he sent nude photos of an ex-girlfriend to other men online. Both Sauer and Long were first elected to the House in 2016. Additionally, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan removed his chief of staff Tim Mapes after a House employee said she experienced years of harassment by Mapes, who also served as executive director of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Democratic Sen. Ira Silverstein was cleared of sexual harassment, but was found to act in a manner “unbecoming of a legislator,” according to a Chicago Tribune report. The speaker also dismissed longtime political worker Kevin Quinn after a letter was sent accusing him of sexual harassment and Madigan parted ways with lobbyist Shaw Decremer over abusive actions during House Democratic races.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR President Trump has ‘no knowledge of Constitution’ To the editor: Every day, another detail we would rather not hear. Our executive branch is in chaos led by a president who leaves SO much to be desired. Every day, we see “the leader of the free world” lean more and more toward an autocracy. He obviously has no knowledge of our Constitution, nor does he seem to care. He thinks the Justice Department is there just to serve him, and he wants Jeff Sessions to use it to investigate and identify the person who wrote the New York Times op-ed so unflattering to him, even going so far as to call that person treasonous. Our freedom of speech amendment must have slipped his mind. While Trump seems to admire dictatorships, it is distressing to have our leader praise our enemies, i.e.,

Jim Dunn Editor

Rita Roberts Associate Editor

LEADERS ADDRESSES Russia and North Korea in particular. Then he tweets insults about all our allies. He is nothing more than a petulant, spoiled child. No wonder Secretary Mattis said he has the intellect of a fifth- or sixth-grader. The question is, how long are Americans going to put up with Trump’s obscenities? Better yet, how long will the Republicans in Congress sit idly by and do or say nothing? I hope members of our society will not be complaisant, especially our younger ones, and make it a priority to vote! How many more sins will be revealed before the midterm election? As former President Obama said in his speech at the University of Illinois, “How hard is it to say Nazis are bad?” How many more times, like Nazi Germany, will some people simply look the other way?

BRIEFS

Johnson family donates $2,000 to IVCC Foundation OGLESBY — The Johnson family of Ottawa recently made a $2,000 donation to the Illinois Valley Community College Foundation. Gayle and Jeremy Johnson both graduated from IVCC in the early 2000s before transferring to Illinois State University. They are owners of JJ’s Pub in Ottawa and Gayle teaches at Lincoln Elementary School in Ottawa. They were joined in the donation by Jeremy’s uncle, Larry Johnson. After serving in Vietnam, Larry attended IVCC in the early 1970s on the GI Bill before transferring to Illinois Wesleyan University. He also played and coached football at IVCC. Jeremy Johnson said, “I recommend IVCC to everyone considering college.” IVCC President Jerry Corcoran lauded the Johnsons’ financial support and advocacy. “Larry has a close, 45-plus-year association with IVCC, and Jeremy and Gayle also enjoy a rewarding connection with our college,” Corcoran said. “This generous gift will aid our Foundation’s mission of providing greater access to an IVCC education. “It’s always gratifying to hear IVCC graduates like the Johnsons talk about the wonderful experiences they had while at IVCC and how our faculty and staff touched their lives.”

PERU

PERU — The River Valley Chapter of The Compassionate Friends invites bereaved parents, siblings, relatives and friends to join them at their Walk to Remember on Sunday, Sept. 30, at the east end of Baker Lake in Peru. The cost to walk once around the lake is $10 and under 10 are free. Refreshments, along with raffles, are also planned. Pre-registration starts at 9 a.m. The Compassionate Friends is a support group for parents and grandparents who have experienced the death of a child of any age and any cause. As the world’s largest self-help bereavement organization, The Compassionate Friends offers friendship, understanding, and hope to

families that have experienced the death of a child. There are more than 600 chapters in the United States. “You do not need to be a member of The Compassionate Friends to join with us, and you do not need to walk around the lake,” said Rita Studzinski, chapter leader. “We welcome everyone who wants to join hands and hearts in remembering all children who have died too soon.” Anyone interested in walking can download the registration form at www.RiverValleyTCF. com or register that day. If you cannot walk and want to pledge support, there is also a form on the website.

The Compassionate Friends meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru, 1305 Sixth St., at 6:30 p.m. During the meetings, parents receive the understanding and support of others who have experienced the loss of a child. For more information, contact Studzinski at 815223-7663, email www.rivervalleyTCF@hotmail. com or visit the national organization website at www.compassionatefriends.org. Monies raised will be used to continue to enhance the Memory Garden established last year at Baker Lake in memory of the deceased children and to purchase education materials for grieving parents.
