The good news and the bad news By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — A case of good news/bad news was heard at the Putnam County School Board meeting on Sept. 22. The good news is the approved Fiscal Year 2015 budget shows an estimated fund balance for June 30, 2015, of $8,440,593, and all funds are expected to be in the black.
The bad news: The Fiscal Year 2015 budget carries $628,037 in deficit spending. “For years, we’ve worried about deficit spending. This year, it looks as though it’s going to become a reality,” Superintendent Jay McCracken said. McCracken stressed the budget deficit quoted is a “worst-case scenario,” and the figures would likely not be as severe, citing
an ending balance for FY ‘14 which was $400,000 higher than expected. “It’s not a bad report. We’re all in the black at the end of the fiscal year,” he said. “Our budget totals are very strong yet, and we can be very proud of the work we are doing for our students.” The largest deficit comes in the operations and maintenance fund with $424,240 worth of red ink. The budget calls for
more than $1 million in support services expenses. The greatest changes from the previous tentative budget come from potential increases in faculty staffing and technology for the school’s 1:1 initiative. In other action, the board: • Discussed Senate Bill 16 which, if approved, would eliminate $874,000 in the school district’s state funding. McCracken said
the bill is meant to substitute for Illinois’ General State Aid program, which has been underfunded for several years. Dubbed the “Robin Hood” bill, the bill will remove levels of state funding for wealthier school districts and distribute the money to poorer school districts. • Awarded a high school diploma to Josh Gualandri, a disabled student who was able to complete his driver’s education training
this summer and therefore meet state requirements for graduation. • Approved offering insurance to the district’s cooks and paraprofessionals. The insurance would be single coverage and cost the district approximately $75,000. • Hired Beth Sale as special education aide at the high school. • Hired junior high basketball and volleyball coaches.
If I only had a brain ... MEGA Brain used to teach children about strokes By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
PRINCETON — Strokes are the No. 4 cause of death in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 130,000 people die of strokes each year. That accounts for more than 5 percent of the deaths in America. Strokes are also called brain attacks and occur when blood flow to a part of the brain stops. If blood flow is stopped for longer than a few seconds, the brain cannot get blood and oxygen. Brain cells can die, causing permanent damage. Early reaction to a stroke can save a life, but not everyone knows what to look for or what causes strokes. Enter the MEGA Brain, a traveling exhibit that can teach children and adults the impact of strokes and injuries. Putnam County Elementary students went to the Metro Center in Princeton for a field trip focused on strokes, causes and symptoms. At the center of the presentation was the MEGA Brain, an inflatable replica of the human brain with many different brain injuries represented on it to show what they look like to a Vol. 147 No. 5 Two Sections - 36 Pages

doctor and their effects on the brain. “We wanted to educate people on stroke and the urgency to respond to stroke just like people would for a heart attack,” Education Director Marcia Hartwig from Perry Memorial Hospital said. “We wanted to make sure people understood the urgency for treatment for stroke and the options that are available. With that we brought in the MEGA Brain exhibit with the help of area health education coordinators for Northern Illinois. They graciously helped us with grant funds for this event.” Strokes can happen to anyone regardless of age, although major risk factors for stroke are high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. Nearly half of all Americans have at least one of those factors according to the CDC. Identifying causes is a large part of what the MEGA Brain is all about. “It allows students to come in and tour to learn about their brain as well as diseases that might affect the brain like multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and stroke,” Hartwig said. “We also have a station on brain inju-

Driving to a new future Perseverance pays off for McNabb resident By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — One of the requirements to receive a high school diploma in Illinois is completing 36 hours of driver’s education. While Josh Gualandri of McNabb easily fulfilled his academic requirements, he
was not able to satisfy the driving requirement during his senior school year last year due to his disability. Thanks to patience — and help from the school district and other benefactors — Gualandri received his diploma from Putnam County High School from school board President Vicky Nauman on Sept. 22
after he passed a driving course this summer. Because of the loss of some motor skills due to a childhood affliction, Gualandri is not able to drive a normal car. During the summer, he was in St. Louis learning how to drive despite his physical challenges. The vehicle he used to satisfy his driving requirements was a specially-modified minivan which steered using a joystick and used a large button for speed and
signal controls. The technology for the operation of the minivan was adapted from the technology used for flying F-16s. Gualandri’s wheelchair was lifted by the vehicle — the wheelchair then became the driver’s seat. With the van, Gualandri was able to satisfy all of the driving tests required for a driver’s license. The minivan still had its steering wheel and other

if someone is experiencing a stroke, including numbness on one side of the body or slurred speech. The station also gave a three-step procedure that can be used to determine the likelihood of someone actually experiencing a stroke.

The instructor told me to turn around,” Gualandri said. “Unfortunately, I tried to do it in the middle of the road instead of taking the exit.” Board members and
staff were supportive of Gualandri and very happy with the final product. “He’s been a great student of ours,” Superintendent Jay McCracken said. “It’s a great story of how a school district and a great family can cooperate and work together.” Gualandri plans to take courses at Illinois Valley Community College in computer graphics and would like to work on video game and graphic designing.

Grivetti announces candidacy for Circuit Judge STANDARD — Standard’s John Grivetti has announced his candidacy for the office of Circuit Judge in Putnam County. Grivetti is running as an independent in the Nov. 4 general election. “I have been practicing law for over 43 years, and I believe that I have the experience and temperament to serve as a circuit judge. It is a daunting challenge, but my years of experience have prepared me for it,” Grivetti said. “I have practiced in courts throughout Illinois, appearing in over 60 of the Illinois counties, as well as in courts in our surrounding states, and that has given me an exposure to the legal system that is extensive and varied. While the political party candidates are both fine men, I have always felt that a judge should be truly independent of any influence, whether by virtue of friendship, politics or money. I will accept no donations from lawyers or political litigants for my campaign.” Grivetti graduated from Standard Grade School and St. Bede Academy before attending Loyola University in Chicago for his undergraduate work
in business and for law school. After completing his legal studies, he immediately opened his law practice. Grivetti has served as Putnam County State’s Attorney and was admitted to practice in Illinois state courts, federal courts in Illinois and Michigan and the U.S. Supreme Court and has appeared in other states by special permission. Grivetti noted, “While serving as state’s attorney, in cooperation with two sheriffs we compiled an outstanding conviction record, including the first murder conviction in Putnam County in over 50 years. However, serving as a judge requires a different approach than that of a prosecutor, as each case is unique and must be independently evaluated. A judge cannot take a one-sizefits-all approach, and I believe my experience is such that I can provide the judgment needed for all kinds of cases. In my practice, over one-half of the work I have done has been pro-bono, and I am well aware of the great effect a legal case has on people appearing in court.” While in private practice, Grivetti was hired
Grivetti by a large legal publisher to be part of a team summarizing all Illinois legal cases and creating an index of important legal points in those cases. “I worked on 25 to 50 cases per week for over three years, beginning with statehood in 1818 through the 2000s. This required intensive analysis of each case and provided me with a unique and unparalleled overview of Illinois law in all its facets.” Grivetti has four children and 14 grandchildren. In addition to his law practice and research work, he served as golf coach at Loyola University and has completed more than 100 marathon and ultra-marathon runs, from 26.2 to more than 70 miles.

Remaining a friend of Putnam County My introduction to Putnam County came 17 years ago when I began working as a reporter for the NewsTribune. The first person I met was an elderly lady, a member of the Putnam County Historical Society. She told me she hoped I was a good reporter who would be a friend to the society. We became fast friends. and she would frequently thank me for the coverage I gave the COMMENTARY society. I would often thank her for being such a great source and for providing valuable news tips to me. Although this lady has since passed away, I have always remembered her words and have applied that to the county as a whole — I’ve tried to be a good friend to Putnam County, celebrating its great successes and respectfully reporting its tragedies. Throughout the years, I’ve become extremely familiar with Putnam County and its people. One thing that always struck me was how people introduced themselves to others who lived outside the area. When describing where they lived, they would say Putnam County — not the individual town they actually lived in. It didn’t matter if you were from Granville, Hennepin or Mark — you always told people you lived in Putnam County. It may seem like a small distinction, but to me it speaks volumes about the real sense of unity the county has. Putnam County, I’ve learned, is like a giant family. At times there can be bitter disagreements, juicy gossip and rivalries. But when disaster strikes — the horrific Granville tornado comes to mind — people in the county quickly put their differences aside and band together for the common good. Throughout the years, I’ve been welcomed into your homes at all hours as I conducted the interviews I needed for my stories. You’ve given me directions to reach the rural places I was sometimes convinced didn’t actually exist because they were so hard to find. I was given the privilege of getting to do some unusual things, like riding down McCoy Street in the Granville American Legion’s one-of-a-kind mechanical mule. I’ve visited the county’s historical sites, from the Pulsifer House in Hennepin to the final resting place of Chief Senachwine in Putnam. After meeting so many Putnam County residents and writing about the county for almost two decades, I made the difficult decision to part ways with the NewsTribune earlier this month to better accommodate the extracurricular schedules of my children. My kids would much rather have me at their baseball and softball games than sitting at village board meetings. Childhood goes by so fast — I refuse to miss their important moments, and I want to be there to tuck them into bed every night while they are still young enough to allow me to snuggle up to them. Fortunately for me, the Bureau County Republican offered me a job as a copy editor, which I happily accepted once I heard it would keep my nights and weekends free for my children. While I will no longer be the one covering Putnam County Board meetings, I’ll still get to read about the county I’ve come to love as I edit some stories for the Putnam County Record. As my time allows, I’d love to write the occasional feature about Putnam County and its residents — it will give me the opportunity to visit some familiar faces while still getting to pursue my life-long love of writing. That’s where you come in. Know some interesting people you’d like to read about? Does someone have an usual hobby you think would make a great story? I’d love to hear about it. Please feel free to contact me with news tips, ideas or comments. Copy Editor Shannon Serpette can be reached at sserpette@bcrnews.com.

Field of Dreams The Putnam County Achievement Services in Standard took its annual bus trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago on Sept. 5. The bus was filled with happy citizens as it left Standard. The bus driver, Barb Downey, lived in Standard not far from the senior center. I thought this would be a really fun day because we had a Putnam County citizen driving Putnam County people to the big city of Chicago. I also could tell our driver was a professional driver. Sherry Boedigheimer and her daughter, Tammy Green, were in charge of us and were helpful. Richard Gimbal handed out goodie bags and the game tickets while telling jokes and making everyone laugh. What could be better than going to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play with friends from Putnam County? As our bus turned off Interstate 55 onto the beautiful Lake Shore Drive, the sailboats were sitting on the blue water of Lake Michigan with the blue sky above. Every time I see this beautiful drive, it is like the first time I saw it. When we got out of the bus on Addison, I started taking pictures of our people and the 100-year-old Wrigley Field. When Jeanne and I were walking up the steps to our seats in the terrace reserved area, I heard someone calling my name. It was Iner Anderson, who had come to the game with his son-in-law. When the game began I realized most of the players Jeanne and I saw in Mesa last March in spring training were gone. I was looking forward to seeing the Cubs’ hot rookies who just got called up to the big club. With September call-ups the Cubs have 13 relievers in the bullpen down the left field line, plus bullpen coach and catcher and Japanese translator Ryo Shinkawa. The Cubs seem to have an all-or-nothing
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY offensive approach with two strikes. The two rookie players, Baez and Soler, have the hardest swings I think I have ever seen. When they miss, they almost fall down. I could see them hurting their backs and striking out. It was a beautiful day for a ball game for a few innings, then it clouded up and started to rain in the top of the fifth inning. The umpires stopped the game and the grounds crew covered the infield very quickly. After 37 minutes of delay, the game resumed -- until with one out in the top of the seventh inning, while tied at 3 to 3. Eventually the game was suspend-
ed. They resumed the game the next day before another scheduled game. Surprise, the Cubs lost both games, the suspended one 5-3 in 11 innings and the second game 5-0. As we were leaving the ball field, I realized I would never see it ever again the way it was now. It has looked almost like it had since the first time I saw it 69 years ago when I was 16 years old in 1945. The ballpark will be very different next season when they put the big video screen up and make many more improvements. On the way home we stopped at the “R” truck stop and restaurant in Morris. We had good food and good service. We arrived back in Standard safe and sound, thanks to the excellent driving of bus driver Downey. Also thanks to Sherry, Tammy and Richard for a wonderful day. Thanks for reading. Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

PCJH places second at IESA State Tourney By Dixie Schroeder
dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
NORMAL — The Putnam County Junior High School Lady Puma softball team did something unexpected this year, according to head coach Chris Walker; they earned second place in the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) State softball tournament. “Number one, we lost to an undefeated team at state and I’m not worried at all about that. Number two, how could you not be happy for a group of girls like this?” Walker said. “We never expected this at the beginning of the season, so this is all gravy for us. I’m very proud of all of them and all the time they have put in. We are always cognizant of that. We know it takes time. We know the effort it takes to become a good player and we know when you have a tight knit group like this and they listen and trust their leadership that they will be successful, now, later and in life. That is really what this is all about...the girls did a phenomenal job. This was very much a dream season.” The Pumas lost to state champs Pontiac St. May’s Saints 7-0 in the IESA Class A championship contest. The Saints’ Harley Schade and Regan Krause pitched a one hitter against the Pumas. Schade and Krause threw a combined nine strikeouts and gave up two walks in the contest. Haley Cioni pitched her third game in a little more than 24 hours, Cioni gave up only six hits in the contest, along with three walks. She also had six strikeouts, a passed ball, wild pitch and hit one batter. She gave up seven runs, with only five earned. The Puma defense went up
and down with two errors. However, sharp play by Lindsey DiazDeLeon at catcher had one Saints batter thrown out at second base and the Saints’ running game curtailed. Madi Solomon also threw out a runner at home in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Rylee Liles threw a rocket to home and caught a Saint sliding in to home. Unfortunately, there was interference on the base path, so the runner was later called safe. The wheels of Putnam County’s vaunted running game were stalled by the Saints. Catcher Emma Crowley kept PC from prowling the base paths in the few times they were on base. Walker remembered how very difficult it was for the very, very talented team in ‘09 (who eventually won state) to get to this place. “These guys’ best quality PCR photo/Dixie Schroeder is that they play together Lindsey DiazDeLeon gets a hug from IESA Class 1A umpire in chief Fred McNeely before the medal ceremony. well. They don’t get down McNeely umpired behind the plate in the championship contest. and they just keep plugging away. It’s something to behold and watch. It’s just a lot of fun to be with them,” Walker said. “We have plans for them (at the high school level).” Walker said, “I can’t thank both my assistant coaches (Olson and Voss) enough. They were just rocks this season. I can’t say enough about them.” Putnam County, coached by Walker and assisted by Lynette Olson and Venessa Voss, led the Lady Pumas to a final 17-8 record for the season. The Pumas were Regional and Sectional champions to get to the Elite Eight this season. The team has set an IESA record with six PCR photo/Dixie Schroeder state appearances since Members of the 2014 Putnam County Junior High School Lady Pumas and coaching staff pose with their Illinois 2008.

GRANVILLE — The Putnam County Panthers have prowled their way back to Granville. Their first home game of the short fall season was Sept. 27 at Ken Jenkins Field where they faced St. Anthony’s from Effingham and Holy Trinity of Chicago. In game one, PC took on St. Anthony and won 12-10. Major innings included the first, where PC came out of the box and scored four runs. The squad also scored in the third, (seven) and the fifth (1) to take the win. Putnam County knocked out 15 hits in the contest with Austin Biagini going two for three with two RBI. Connor Bean went two for four. Neal Stasell was two for four with three RBI. Nick DiazDeLeon also went two for four with a double and an RBI. Danny Pavlovich had a double and two RBI. Matt Magana was two for four with a double and Garrett Ossola was two for four with an RBI. Defensively, the Panthers had fielding issues, committing six errors in the contest. St. Anthony’s struggled as well, making four errors. Winning pitcher was Pavlovich (4-0) who gave up seven runs, three earned and five hits in three and a third innings. Pavlovich also gave up three walks and hit a batter. Biagini came in relief and pitched three and third innings with three runs, two earned, four hits, and four strikeouts along with a walk.

Defensively the Panthers tightened up the ship, making only two errors to Holy Trinity’s one. DiazDeLeon (2-1, 1 save) had three strike outs as well in the contest. “Great to have another no hitter. Nick threw the ball well while maintaining a quick tempo which kept his fielders in the game so they were ready to make plays when they had to,” coach Chris Newsome said. “Overall fall was very successful and productive. It was encouraging to see us continue to learn each and ever weekend. We will have our annual Black & Gold intersquad scrimmage this coming week at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 2 in Hennepin.”

KEWANEE — The Putnam County Panthers ended last week with a first place win for the junior varsity at the Kewanee-Boiler Invitational on Sept. 27. The event was held at Baker Golf course and included 17 teams. New meet record was set by PC’s first place finisher Noe Flores at 17:08. (The old record was 17:33.) Jon Sabotta took third at 19:13 and Christian Harris took sixth place at 20:29. Both Flores, Sabotta and Harris earned medals for their efforts. Rounding out team finishes were Cam Colby in 12th place at 21:28, James Hewitt in 13th place at 21:52 and Owen Mallory at 21:57 in 14th place. Running as individuals in the varsity race was Mario Flores who took 30th place at 19:39. Joe Berg placed 45th with a time of 20:55. Daniel Jefferies also ran varsity and placed 47th with a time of 21:22. Ashlyn Haage ran in the girls’ varsity race and took 20th place with a time of 22:54. Haage also ran as an individual. The Panthers showed well as a team and individuals at their home triangular meet against Fieldcrest and Hall on Sept. 25 at the Putnam County Conservation District. In the girls’ race, Haage led the way to first place with a time of 24:28 . The PCHS course, is challenging with woods, two hills and several turns.

WENONA — Early prognostications indicated this was the Putnam County Junior High boys baseball team’s year for fall ball. The Pumas had played well all season and went into sectionals as top seed. In the final, they were to face the Fieldcrest Knights, a team they had defeated earlier in the season. Last weekend, everyone knew the Pumas were state-bound. The trouble is, nobody told the Knights. The Pumas lost to the Knights in the Fieldcrest Sectional final 13-3 in five innings on Sept. 22. Fieldcrest came out swinging with an offensive barrage the Pumas couldn’t seem to stop. The first four Fieldcrest hitters knocked out singles off Puma starter Dan Sabotta. Combined with two walks, Knight bats were able to tally five runs in the top of the first.
The Pumas were able to counter with three runs of their own off of three hits and a base on balls, but PC bats went all but silent from that point on, mustering only three more hits during the rest of the game. Sabotta got tattered by the Knights for four more hits and three runs in the second before being relieved by Braden Holmes, but the damage was done. One more run would score during the second inning, one in the third and three more in the fifth would give Fieldcrest the win under the 10-run rule. Sabotta was the Pumas’ offensive leader with a single and a double and one RBI. Caleb Tonozzi, Nolan Whitney and Max Magana also submitted singles in the Pumas’ losing effort. Fieldcrest catcher Michael Morse went four for four to lead the Knights’ charge with two singles, a double and a triple.
PC JV races to first place at Boiler Invitational Schmellen at 18:46 for third place. Team wise, PC won the meet with 34 points to Hall’s 41 and Fieldcrest’s 53. The top five finishers on each team count as the team score in a cross country race. Following Noe Flores was Mario Flores at 20:39 for fifth place. One second behind him was Sabotta at 20:40 for sixth place. Number four finisher for Putnam County was Harris in 10th place at 22:09. Number five runner was Jeffries at 22:16 which placed him at 11th. Other PC finishers included 12th place finisher Colby with a time of 22:40 and 15th place finisher Berg at 23:17. Hewitt took 16th place with a time of 23:28 and Mallory was 19th with a time of 24:45. The Putnam County Cross Country team started the week out strong with a second place finish in a six team meet at Mendota High School on Sept. 22. Hall took first place with St. Bede, Mendota, Amboy and Princeton high schools finishing after Putnam County. Forty runners participated in the boys’ race. PC’s Noe Flores placed second overall with a time of 16:54. In sixth place was Mario Flores at 19:00 flat. Sabotta ran a time of 19:28 for 10th place while Jefferies placed 20th at 20:45. Hewitt earned 25th place with a time of 21:33. In 26th place was Colby with a time of 21:39. Berg finished in 32nd place at 22:52 while Harris ran a 22:53 to finish right behind Berg in 33rd place.

PC edges Brimfield in IESA tournament By Ken Schroeder
kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
NORMAL — The Putnam County Lady Pumas’ first round of the IESA junior high girls softball tournament was everything a championship level game should be — a test of equals, and an exciting game from start to finish with no clear winner until the last out. In this case when the dust cleared, the Lady Pumas stood triumphant over the Brimfield Indians 7-6 after eight close innings of play. The game was a true slug-fest with hot bats in both dugouts. Brimfield totalled 13 hits for the day to PC’s 19. While the Indians were able to capitalize on their hits more efficiently, sheer number of bats made the difference for the Pumas. The Pumas took an early lead with a score from Skylar Grevengoed off of a double by Charleigh Holmes. Brimfield bats stayed quiet in the first inning. The Pumas’ bats came alive in the second inning, knocking five hits out of the box. Unfortunately, the Indians held PC down, stranding three Pumas at the inning’s end. Rylee Liles added the lone run off of a single from Taryn Grasser to bring the Puma total to two runs, while Brimfield answered back with a run of their own. Brimfield posted two runs in the third inning off of four hits, taking the lead from the Pumas 3-2 and holding it for
most of the game. Bats exploded for both teams in the fifth inning. Holmes scored an unearned run off of a throwing error which allowed batter Liles to reach third. Maddy Vacca tagged a single to bring Liles in for run number four. Brimfield answered back with three runs off of five hits in a scoring rally led by Indian second base Delaney Smith, who started with a single and managed to steal two bases before scoring on a fielder’s choice. Puma Lindsey DiazDeLeon started off the sixth inning with a single. Two stolen bases later, DiazDeLeon brought the Pumas to 6-5, crossing the plate on a bad throw during a pick-off attempt. The seventh inning added another run with back-to-back doubles from Liles and Vacca, tying the score at 6-6 and sending the game into extra innings when Brimfield came up empty. DiazDeLeon led off the eighth inning with another single, followed by two more stolen bases before being brought home on a fielder’s choice from Grevengoed, bringing the total to 7-6. Brimfield’s hopes of going beyond the Elite Eight vanished with a pop fly to center-fielder Grasser to give the win to the Lady Pumas. DiazDeLeon led the Puma offense going 4 for 5 with six stolen bases. Pitcher Haley Cioni went the distance for the Pumas pitching all eight innings, tallying three strike-outs while giving up 13 hits, three walks and one struck batter.
NORMAL — The Putnam County Junior High Lady Pumas have earned a berth in the Illinois Elementary State Association (IESA) state championship game by beating the Buffalo Tri-City Indians 12-4. Winning pitcher was Haley Cioni who gave up five hits over seven innings and four runs. Cioni also had five strikeouts and two walks. The big inning for the Pumas was in the top of the fourth, when the squad scored eight runs on seven hits. RBIs were earned by Taryn Grasser, Skylar Grevengoed, Maddy Vacca and Cioni. The Pumas played for the state championship game at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 27. A parade through the county is being planned to honor the team.
The Putnam County Junior High Lady Pumas celebrate after defeating Buffalo Tri-City 12 to 4 in the State Tournament semi-finals. The Pumas headed into the championship bracket against Pontiac St. Mary’s.

The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions.

Three tips for National Dental Hygiene Month Halloween kicks off a series of holidays celebrated with delicious treats, from yummy chocolate candies to gut-busting dinners to seasonal alcoholic beverages. While most parents will make sure their kids brush after eating their treats, National Dental Hygiene Month in October encourages a fuller approach to oral health. “Teeth and gums are obviously key components of oral health care, but they’re just part of the whole environment inside one’s mouth,” said Bob Kross, a biochemist who’s been researching and developing oral healthcare products since the 1980s. “The nooks and crannies in our mouths and gums are not the only places crammed with organic debris, which feed the bacteria that create biofilm, such as plaque, to protect themselves from oxygen,” Kross says. “There are also cracks on the tongue’s surface and in the other soft tissues in the mouth and pharynx where bacteria collect, further compromising dental health and creating bad breath.”
Normal oral bacteria are fine, actually even necessary, when present in proper balance with each other, but it’s a problem when putrefying and pathogenic bacteria start to take over, he said. “The sticky candies and treats children and adults consume during this time of year can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria if good dental hygiene isn’t practiced,” said Kross, who describes how bad breath is created and how we can prevent it. • If you develop bad breath, don’t simply try to mask it with mints. Anaerobic bacteria can also lead to painful and potentially serious conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis, so it’s best to attack the problem at the root. Maintaining the proper balance or oral bacteria will not only keep your breath fresh, it will help you maintain good oral health. • Add tongue scraping and an oxidizing daily rinse to your oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing reach about 25 percent of your mouth, and that’s why you should add tongue scraping and rinsing to your daily routine.

That white stuff you might see on your tongue is a collection of food particles and other organic matter, which can putrefy and create oral malodorants. Oxygen inhibits the growth of the responsible anaerobic bacteria, so scraping off the film and using an oxidizing mouthwash will counter that problem. • Control bad breath by controlling the mouth’s bacteria. Brush at least twice a day, floss, scrape the tongue and use a non-alcoholic rinse that has oxidizing properties. Individuals suffering from bad breath will experience optimum relief only by using alcohol-free, oxidizing oral hygiene products. “At least 90 percent of bad breath problems are associated with the sul-
