Ebola hits United States Rawlings: ‘This is scary news’ By Donna Barker Shaw Media Service

PRINCETON — The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department, as well as other health departments around the state and country, are keeping watch on the growing Ebola virus concern in the United States. The Ebola virus has killed more than 3,300 people in West Africa in recent months. This week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed the first Ebola diagnosis in the United States in a patient in a Texas hospital. Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck released a statement on Thursday concerning this latest Ebola diagnosis news. “While not easily transmittable, Ebola is a very serious virus. At this time, Ebola does not pose a great health risk to the people of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health continues to work with the CDC, local health departments, hospitals and medical facilities to be vigilant for Ebola,” Hasbrouck said. On Thursday, Bureau/ Putnam County Health Director Diana Rawlings said the news about Ebola is scary, and it is under-

standable that people are concerned since there’s been a case diagnosed in the United States. “But, there is a world of difference between the health care system in the United States and the parts of Africa where Ebola has spread rather quickly,” she said. “The United States has a very strong health system, and the CDC and the IDPH have been beefing up surveillance during the past few months, watching for potential Ebola cases.” Rawlings said the CDC and IDPH are giving guidance to hospitals and medical professionals as to how to be prepared, including evaluating patients and lab specimen submissions, implementing infection control measures and stopping the spread of illness. These are core public health functions of the CDC and IDPH, she said. “Though this is scary news (Ebola diagnosis in United States), it is important to remember Ebola is not spread through the air. It’s only contagious if the infected person has active symptoms and has direct contact with someone. You will not get it by walking through the airport in Texas,” Rawlings said. Again, the local health department is keeping current with the news about Ebola, and right now, there is no reason for alarm in Illinois at this point, Rawlings said. But if anything changes the local health department will contact the local media to keep the public informed, the director said.

He said getting the exhibit to the museum was his first priority in his new position.

Cherry comes to Utica A new home for the Cherry Mine Disaster exhibit By Ken Schroeder

UTICA — Some people look forward to retirement — a chance to finally relax from the daily work routine and take it easy. Granville’s Ron Bluemer is not one of those people. Recently retired as a history teacher at Illinois Valley Community College and formerly a

teacher at Putnam County High School, Bluemer was offered — and eagerly accepted — a position as executive director at the LaSalle County Museum. His first accomplishment was getting the Cherry Mine Disaster museum exhibit out of storage from Chicago and on permanent loan to the museum. “Peg Rondi of rural Mark, one of the first to graduate from my class

stories of that fateful day in 1909 and the lives of coal miners of that period in general. As part of that, Bluemer has plans for the building recently purchased by the museum, which will house the exhibit. “I’m going to build a coal mine in the basement,” he said. “It’ll look like a mine shaft with parts of the exhibit down here and some actual coal. I’ve got one of the old gas lamp hats they used. We’ll let people go

at Putnam County, saved this from destruction with the understanding if another museum wanted to take it on, she would see they got a portion of it, at least,” Bluemer said. “I talked to her, and she said this was going to be a more-or-less permanent loan. They’ve been looking for a place to house the collection for years. They want us to have it.” Bluemer published a book about the Cherry Mine Disaster in 2007 — one of 13 books he’s written so far — and so has a passion about sharing the

Unemployment continues downward trend in Putnam County By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

It’s still good news/bad news for Putnam County in the unemployment picture. While unemployment has dropped from 9.7 percent to 7.8 percent since August 2013, the county is still more than a full percentage point behind the average in the state. Putnam County’s rate is Vol. 147 No. 6 One Section - 20 Pages

also at a much slower rate than the state average. Statewide, unemployment rates in August fell in every metro for the fifth consecutive month and are at six- and seven-year lows, according to preliminary data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). Rates also fell in all 102 counties for the third consecutive month.

The data, which is not seasonally adjusted, compares August 2014 with August 2013 and does not remove the effects of regular or seasonal patterns. “This is encouraging news — more people working than one year ago and fewer people describing themselves as unemployed,” IDES Director Jay Rowell said. “We now will look to see how the falling unemployment rate trend unfolds as

employers continue to add permanent jobs and we begin to experience seasonal hiring.” “Also, area employers advertised for 5,100 positions in August, and approximately 85 percent sought full-time employment, according to Help Wanted OnLine data compiled by the Conference Board. It is a global, independent business membership and research association,”

Greg Rivara, director of Information Strategies for IDES said. “Employers actually need more workers than the help wanted advertising indicates because some industries, such as construction, typically don’t advertise job openings.” The leisure and hospitality industry recorded job growth in most metropolitan areas with 10 out of 12 areas reporting new jobs.

The August 2014 not seasonally adjusted statewide rate was 6.7 percent compared to 9.1 percent one year ago. Nationally, the rate was 6.3 percent in August and 7.3 percent one year ago. The rate identifies those who are out of work and looking for work and is not tied to collecting unemployment insurance benefits. Historically, the state unemployment rate is higher than the national rate.

Having fun while learning Chromebooks in the classroom a success at PCES By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — As technology progresses, it becomes important to teach it in school, so students can keep up with the ever-changing world. At Putnam County Elementary School, that hasn’t been a problem. The fifth-grade students at PCES have been using Chromebooks in the classroom since the beginning of the school year, and so far, the results have been favorable from the standpoint of students and teachers. “It’s pretty cool,” McKinley Swickla said. “You get to go online, and it’s like your own computer.” “My favorite part is using it for homework and studying for a test,” Lucas Carroll said. “You can text each other on it.” The Google Chromebooks are part of the school district’s 1:1 Ini-

down with no light other than that. Won’t it be neat to see what it was really like?” The exhibit consists of photos of coal miners both locally and nationwide. The photos are printed on a heavy linen and show not only a slice of life of the coal miner, but also the events of the tragic Nov. 13, 1909, accident which took the lives of 259 men and boys. It was not unusual for young boys to work the

tiative program. The goal is to continue to progress with technology in the classroom and eventually have students use Chromebooks oneto-one throughout their curriculum. Such technology would be utilized throughout their entire school career. The fifthgrade class is part of the pilot program to see if the idea really works. So far so good. “I like it,” teacher Monica Frund said. “I think it engages them.” “A lot of them are used to computers at home,” teacher Josie Hall said. “I think sometimes they know how to do things I don’t.” “If there’s a downside, it’s making things work the way you want them to. The other day, we got on the website to practice math games online, and they figured something out that I didn’t know you could do,” teacher Becky Boudreau said. “They mines, especially in rural areas. Boys as young as 11 years old were in the mines at Cherry. Among the photos of the exhibit are photos of youngsters covered in coal dust who were likely still in grade school. “My idea is, if the Cherry museum wants to borrow a piece, we can loan it out to them, but this will be the central repository for them,” Bluemer said. “Many of the guys who worked there were from LaSalle County or Mark. Mr. Cherry was in Standard at the time and had to get in his horse and buggy

Join my room!’ They were still working, but they were playing against each other instead of some faceless person. They just turned it into more of a social action than just doing math facts.” Students in Boudreau’s class are using Chromebooks to blog with each other about stories they

read. Students can instantly communicate with each other and their teachers to discuss and share ideas, problems and solutions, as well as dialogue based on books they have read. A basic Chromebook costs about $200, and each book can be taken home by the student assigned to it. You might think that would raise some worries with the teachers, but that’s not the case. “We were excited about

it,” Hall said. “I’ve been able to do some projects with social studies. They really enjoy it.” “There’s times that you wanted them to do research, and the tech lab wasn’t available,” Frund said. “Now, you don’t have to plan certain days to do certain projects. You can do it anytime.” If the pilot program works, the school district will implement the 1:1 Initiative for the other grades.

and drive up there when he heard because he didn’t know what was happening.” Long before he started writing his book, Bluemer was able to talk to one of the survivors of the disaster, who was a young boy when it happened. “Can you imagine what it was like to live through that?” he said. “What a miracle.” Bluemer visited the exhibit many times in the past and is surprised at the breadth of the collection. “There are things here I never saw when I went to Springfield,” he said. “It’s

just amazing.” The building that will house the exhibit was recently purchased by the museum. Located just south of the canal that winds through town, the building used to be a hardware store. As well as the Cherry Mine exhibit, Bluemer plans to use a section of the main floor for an exhibit of military uniforms and memorabilia of wars and armed conflicts from 1900 on. “I got these jewelry cases I’m reworking,” he said. “They’ll hold uniforms and medals and other items. The alcove over there will

have some mannequins in uniform as well.” Before the display can go up, Bluemer has the unenviable task of cataloging the collection. He’s hoping to get some community volunteers to help, especially high school students who need community service hours to graduate. “I like to help kids who show knowledge and leadership that might not normally get recognized,” Bluemer said. “Not the jocks or the kid who gets all of the scholarships, but the ones who show a determination to work without being in the spotlight.”

Keeping your joints healthy Granville man finds second knee replacement easier than the first By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

Jim Pettit of Granville is no stranger to knee replacement. He’s had two knee surgeries in less than a decade, and he noticed a big difference between the two. “I had my first knee replacement done in 2006, and I can compare between then and now,” Pettit, a recent knee-replacement patient, said. “When I had it done then, it was under a different situation. I was still working, and my wife was working.

I had the surgery — which went well, but my problem was I didn’t have anyone at home to (push me) to do the therapy. I would have to go to therapy three times a week. “Now, they do it differently. This time, they set it up for April 6, and in early March, I was in Ottawa, and I got a phone call,” Pettit said. “The doctor called, and he said, ‘Jim, we want to do the surgery Monday.’ I said, ‘What about all these things I was supposed to do to prepare for this?’ ‘You’ll get this check-up this afternoon and your dentist already

checked you out and you’re fine. Just come in Monday at 8 o’clock.” Pettit kept a journal of his second surgery. In it, when comparing this surgery to his first, he noted, “This joint replacement was much easier, smoother and painless.” National Bone and Joint Health Awareness Week is Oct. 12-20. As people quickly learn when they are having problems with their knees, sometimes the joints and muscles in the human body can deteriorate to the point where surgery becomes necessary. Orthopedic surgery used to be a process that took a long time to prepare for and a longer time to recover from, but things

Patients with joint pain learn from their doctors the pain comes from a lifetime of wear and tear on the cartilage. This cartilage is tissue that normally gives frictionless, painless motion in a joint. With deterioration over time, doctors often see boneon-bone wear when they perform these surgeries and note bone spurs have built up. This is the main cause of the pain which a patient experiences. This pain often causes a person to exercise less, which usually leads to weight gain. According to

What’s in a name? A recent column on quinoa prompted a reader to alert me to a similar grain, which is grown in Illinois named amaranth. I did some research and learned a lot about amaranth, which has been in the food chain for a long time. It was important to the Aztecs and can today be purchased at our local grocery stories, under the name Bob’s Red Mill Organic Amaranth. I also learned it is referred to in some circles as pig weed, since it apparently has been fed to pigs. Given the choice, I prefer the name amaranth to pig weed — it certainly seems to have considerably more commercial appeal. Bob’s Red Mill Organice Pig Weed doesn’t really do it for me. Amaranth is not the only food product that benefits from a consumer friendly name, with the name changed from something unattractive to something more tasteful. For example, kiwi fruit has traditionally been called Chinese gooseberry. When farmers in New Zealand started to commercially harvest and export the fruit, they sold it as kiwi fruit to emphasize its country of origin. There are two fish whose names have been modified to sound a little more attractive –

William Bailey COMMENTARY

Patagonian toothfish is now sold as Chilean sea bass and the fish called slimehead has been renamed to orange roughy. Another area where names are important is in the dairy industry. The nation’s largest dairy farmer organization, the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), doesn’t approve of non-animal based products being sold as milk. For example, there is soy milk, almond milk and rice milk, all of which are available in the local grocery store’s refrigerator – cheek by jowl with milk from dairy cows. The NMPF doesn’t like that and has been battling for several years to stop the use of “milk” by their competitors when they name their products. This is important to the dairy industry because per capita fluid milk consumption has steadily declined for the past 25 years. On the other hand, until recently, soy

milk sales had steadily increased. Almond milk has started to take market share away from soy milk – and fluid milk consumption continues to fall. NMPF is frustrated that a white fluid is put into a container identical to milk, sold as a substitute for milk and that non-dairy interests benefit from the ability to use “milk” on their products. Clearly, names matter. Or do they? William Shakespeare wrote, and Juliet spoke, in “Romeo and Juliet” – “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” In keeping with this thought, I suspect Shakespeare would agree that a slimehead tastes the same as orange roughy. In contrast, both the NMPF and its fluid competitors think everything is in a name. They just can’t agree on that name – “milk, soy milk or soy juice.” What do you think? Professor William Bailey formerly was the Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Nutrition. He also has served as Deputy-Under Secretary of Agriculture. He is now affiliated with the School of Agriculture at Western Illinois University.

Property expansion at Starved Rock OGLESBY — Starved Rock State Park near Oglesby is among several Illinois state parks recently receiving funding for land acquisition and improvement projects. On Oct. 6, it was announced funding for the acquisition of a 51-acre parcel of land adjacent to Starved Rock State Park which will provide additional wildlife space and serve as a buffer to protect

the park. According to Monday’s press release, the recently acquired property at Starved Rock State Park is 51.47 acres with steep bluffs and ravines located adjacent to a dedicated nature preserve. The property formerly included a campground area, but most of the campsite facilities were removed prior to acquisition. The property was purchased from a private estate

for the appraised value of $900,000 using Open Land Trust funds. In addition to providing additional recreational activities at Starved Rock, this site will provide protection against incompatible future development. As detailed in Monday’s press release, Starved Rock State Park will get $1,405,000 for trail rehabilitation Phase 5; $591,000 for campground electrics

work; and $105,000 for a playground safety replacement project. In addition to the land acquisitions projects throughout the state, it was announced $6,527,000 in improvement projects at various state parks to maintain their infrastructure and make them easier for visitors to use. The funding comes from the governor’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program.

Obituaries to the community he loved. Peter Fassino Jr. He is survived by his wife, Charlene

GRANVILLE — Peter James Fassino Jr. of Granville died at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014, in Henry. Pete was born Feb. 26, 1940, in Granville, the only child of Peter James Fassino Sr. and Mary Bernardi Fassino.

Ottawa wins America in Bloom contest COLUMBUS, Ohio — Top honors for the prestigious 2014 America in Bloom (AIB) national awards program were announced at the annual awards held in Philadelphia, Pa., on Oct. 4. America in Bloom Executive Director Laura Kunkle said, “America in Bloom is helping participants of all types achieve their potential. Every year our participants raise the bar, and the accomplishments and progress shown by this year’s towns and cities is again remarkable.” All participants were evaluated on six criteria: Overall impression, environmental awareness, heritage preservation, urban forestry, landscaped areas and floral displays. Additionally they were judged on their community involvement across municipal, residential and commercial sectors. America in Bloom is the only national awards program that sends specially trained judges to personally visit

participants and provide a detailed written evaluation that can be used as a guide to future improvements. James Sutton and Karin Rindal, two specially trained AIB judges, visited towns of similar populations and spent two days touring each town, meeting municipal officials, residents and volunteers. Other competitors in the 15,001 to 19,000 population category were Arroyo Grande, Calif.,; Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.,; and Holliston, Mass. Ottawa received a prestigious five-bloom rating and won in their population category. In addition, they received a special mention for their youth art initiative which encourages youth to be very active in the creation of art that is publicly and permanently displayed in Ottawa in a number of venues. Judges said, “Ottawa has come a long way from a concrete and asphalt jungle to a green

oasis. Now its efforts are at critical mass through its diverse and highly successful grant funding activities and the tireless efforts of many volunteers. You should be proud of the many noteworthy achievements across all the America in Bloom criteria.” Registrations for the 2015 national awards program can be submitted until Feb. 28, 2015. Eligible participants include towns, cities, college and university campuses, business districts, military installations and recognized neighborhoods of large cities. America in Bloom is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting nationwide beautification programs and personal and community involvement through the use of flowers, plants, trees and other environmental and lifestyle enhancement.

Field of Dreams Congratulations to the Putnam County Junior High School Lady Puma softball team for winning second-place at the state softball tournament. They lost to St. Mary’s Saints of Pontiac, an undefeated team. Thanks to coach Chris Walker and his assistant coaches Lynette Olson and Venessa Voss. Walker’s PCJH teams have set an IESA record with six state appearances since 2008, how great is that? ••• In the Sept. 8 Time magazine there was a story by Ken Burns about his new film, called the “Roosevelts.” It is an intimate history of the Roosevelt’s, Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor. Teddy Roosevelt is the only president to be born in New York City. In his lifetime, he wrote 150,000 letters. He used to eat a dozen COMMENTARY eggs for breakfast and drink gallons of coffee and tried to read a book a day if he had time. His wife and mother died on the same day on Valentines Day, Feb. 14, 1884. Teddy once refused to shoot a captive bear on a hunting trip, as it was unsportsmanlike. The ensuring publicity led to “Teddy” bears. Franklin was elected president four times. The White House was occupied by a Roosevelt for 19 .5 years, almost 20 percent of the 20th century. Teddy was there for seven and a half years, FDR for 12 years. FDR had 1.2 million stamps in his collection. FDR’s first cabinet was sworn in at once including the first female cabinet member, Frances Perkins. Franklin contracted polio in 1921. He avoided being photographed in public using a wheelchair. Eleanor, wife of FDR, was the niece to one president (Teddy) and the wife to another (FDR). Both of Eleanor’s parents died before she was 10 years old. She also served as head of the United Nations Human Rights Commission and helped draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Eleanor had a syndicated newspaper column called “My Day.” Her Uncle Teddy gave the bride away at her wedding when she was 20 and Franklin was 23. It is also a fact that Teddy Roosevelt visited Putnam County on a hunting trip and staying at the Cecil Hotel in Hennepin. When I did Jack Brandstatter’s story, he told me his family has the register that Theodore Roosevelt signed. He also named the Grand View Drive in Peoria that overlooks the Illinois River, when he visited there. ••• Trivia: What city (population over 1,000) is the farthest north in the world? Answer at the end of the article. ••• The painter: The homeowner was delighted with the way the painter had done all the work on his house. “You did a great job,” he said as he handed the man a check. “Also, in order to thank you, here is an extra $80 to take the missus out to dinner and a movie.” Later that night, the doorbell rang, and it was the painter. Thinking the man had forgotten something he asked, “What’s the matter? Did you forget something?” “Nope,” replied the painter, “I’m just here to take your missus out to dinner and a movie like you asked.” ••• As of 2013 there were 2,195 wind turbines in Illinois. Just less than 5 percent of Illinois energy is provided by wind, or enough electricity to power about a million homes, according to AWEA. ••• “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.” Jesse Jackson. “Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.” Sophia Loren. “Always do more than is required of you.” George S. Patton. “Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind over tasked.” Oliver Holmes Sr. ••• Answer to the trivia question: Cogyearbyen, Norway, is roughly 78 degrees north latitude. The city is named after John Longyear, whose Arctic company started mining there in the early 1900s. Thanks for reading. Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

Walking the road not chosen Editor’s note: After failing a mammogram test earlier this spring, Barb Kromphardt entered the world of breast cancer treatment. Following a surgical biopsy, she was diagnosed with DCIS, an early-stage cancer, in her right breast. She is sharing her story with the readers. It was time for the next phase of my treatment. No more scalpels or stitches or anesthesia. Just six or seven weeks of daily visits to my local cancer center to blast any lurking cancer cells to kingdom come. Each treatment would only take about five to 10 minutes, so how tough was that? Stretch out for a few minutes and relax, right? Oh well. While each treatment would be brief, my first visit would take about an hour. I would be scanned and measured so the doctor could determine the best angles for the radiation, and then the machine would be programmed to deliver the proper treatment every time I came in. To hold me steady, the technician introduced me to something called a breast board. The device is kind of like a gynecologist’s set of stirrups, except for the arms rather than the legs. I lay flat under the scanning machine and raised my arms above my head. Two sets of padded restraints were on either side of my head, one to control the placement of my upper arms, and the other my forearms. My hands were loosely clasped above my head. “Now don’t move,” the technician told me. The room went dim, and the scanning device began to move above me, rotating into one position after another. The technician would dart

Barb Kromphardt COMMENTARY in occasionally to draw on my breast with a green marker. Then it was time for my tattoos. Now I am not a particularly cool person, and the tattoo craze has passed me by. But lying on my back in a dim room, I received, not one or two, but five tattoos. There was one on either side, and three vertical ones in the center of my chest. The technician explained the tattoos would guide the radiation machine to treat me precisely the same way each visit. “This one might hurt a little,” she said as she placed a bluish dot on my sternum. Lying so still for so long eventually began to hurt. I’ve got a bit of a funny shoulder, and holding my arm in that position for that long was truly uncomfortable. Minding the admonition not to move, I twitched, flinched and wriggled my toes, and even let out the occasional moan. But the prep work was finally done, and the plan for my treatment was set. The first day of treatment was intimidating. The technician took me back to the treatment room where the giant machine loomed over my head. Undressing from the waist up, I clutched a little white towel to my chest while they led me to the machine. Oh joy, another breast board! I lay down and let the technicians arrange my arms over my head.

They had me wriggle around, first a little to the left, then a bit to the right while they lined up my tattoos with laser lights glowing from the walls. Then it was time. The technicians left for the control room, and I lay there alone with my poor, scarred breast pointing skyward, almost numb with apprehension over what was to come. But as the radiation machine began to rotate over my head, a smile slowly broke out on my face. There, on the ceiling, was a huge picture of a winding path leading through a cherry orchard in full bloom! During the 35 days of my treatment — which generally lasted less than 10 minutes each day — I came to know that cherry orchard pretty well. I couldn’t always see it as the machine revolved around my body, but it was always there for me sooner or later. The main side effect from the radiation treatments was a skin irritation. Some women get a little sunburn, but my skin actually turned a little bit raw. The treatment? A jar of “bag balm,” a cream dairy farmers use on their cattle’s udders when they get a little sore. It was really kind of ironic. While nursing my first child I developed a case of mastitis. “Just like the cows get on the farm,”said my ever-helpful father. I think he would have gotten a laugh out of the bag balm.

Considerations by Nedda We still have lots of the good weather to enjoy. At this stage of life, I find that weather is there with no control from me, so I relax. Very recently I have been involved with the medical systems and have been to some different facilities and seen many different personnel. First, I appreciate all the training and long hours of studying and tests, lectures, criticism and blame medical people endure just to take care of me throughout the years. I am speaking of all the doctors, dentists and therapists of all kinds; technicians; and maintenance persons. They must deal with all kinds of issues before we even arrive on the scene. Oh, yes, and these folks have families, lives and health problems of their own. Home caregivers need to be included here as well. Now, we come along with our own

Nedda Simon COMMENTARY

issues of pain, fear, frustration, impatience in many degrees and expect all these caregivers to give us 100 percent of attention, effort, time and expertise Let us all consider these things as we interact with these people and be kind. Like us, they are just human beings trying to help us. We sometimes expect miracles from the drugs, and the people who serve us. Of course, we need to feel safe but let’s be flexible. They have to deal

with the myriad of problems we present. I don’t know about you all, but my life is not that well put together, nor is my body. Age becomes a factor, but yet we still want miracles. Don’t you all think that those caregivers want the same outcome? Maybe not miracles, but at least relief for us. I do. Before we present ourselves to these folks, let’s consider some of these circumstances and help them help us. Let us see this as a partnership, working toward the same goal. Take our medicine, do our exercises and try the new skills we are offered. What can it hurt? (Pardon the reference) Don’t forget to be kind when others are trying to serve you. We might get better.

TO Letter THE Editor

Fake IDs generate consequences To the Editor, As students have returned to college campuses for a new school year, I want to take this opportunity to remind them of the detrimental ramifications that may result from using or possessing a fake driver’s license or identification card. Possessing or using a fake ID is a serious offense and with it comes dire consequences. Many college students who obtain fake IDs do not think of the serious consequences. Their goal may be as simple as getting into bars or purchasing alcohol. Anyone convicted of possessing or using a fraudulent driver’s license or ID card will receive a one-year suspension of his or her driving privileges. In addition, they face up to one to

three years in prison, a mandatory minimum fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service. The Internet has made obtaining fake IDs easier. Overseas companies boast of offering fake IDs for a fee. Unfortunately, some students eager to get fraudulent IDs are falling for this illegal practice and, in so doing, are providing personal information to these disreputable companies. In addition to breaking Illinois law and risking their driving privileges, these students are putting themselves at risk for identity theft. My office is committed to combating the use and manufacture of fake IDs. In 2009, I established the state’s Safe ID Task Force, which is chaired by my office’s Inspector General Jim Burns, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The task force works with local, state and federal agencies to combat fake ID use. Some of these

agencies include police, the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Illinois driver’s licenses and ID cards contain more than a dozen enhanced security features designed to make them secure and difficult to reproduce. Secretary of State Police experts travel the state training liquor establishments, law enforcement, banks and other commercial entities on how to spot a fake ID. The fact of the matter is, while the fake may look good, those with a trained eye and inexpensive equipment such as a black light or a laser pen can quickly tell the difference. I urge college students and others who are underage to refrain from obtaining fake IDs. The penalties are too severe and will impact their future in a negative way. Jesse White Illinois Secretary of State

20 years and counting Putnam County Ryder’s Cup By Ken Schroeder

kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MCNABB — On a cold Oct. 5 morning, a golf club sounds a satisfying “thwack” as it propels a golf ball nearly 150 yards down the fairway of the second hole of Edgewood Golf Course. “Nice hit, Phil,” Steve Harvey said, seemingly not bothered by the 38 degree weather. While most of Putnam County was staying warm, Harvey, Phil Carlson and 42 other hardy souls were keeping a tradition alive: “The Putnam County Ryder’s Cup.” It started in the mid ‘90s when Harvey and Rick Bean were sitting in a tavern watching the Ryder’s Cup on TV when the thought struck: “Why couldn’t we do that?” Harvey and Bean started the “Hennepin vs. Granville Ryder’s Cup” golf tournament in 1995. During the first year, just eight players were on each team. The two teams played 36 holes of matches against each other. Last year Harvey and Bean decided they had been captains for long enough

and asked Harvey’s son Ryan and Brett Carlson to take it over as captains. The first change was opening the “Ryder Cup” event to include all of Putnam County. “So instead of Hennepin and Granville we call it ‘North PC and South PC,’” Ryan said. “I think this is just a great community event,” Ryan said. “The guys get really excited about it. This is the 20th year and this is the first year a couple of the older guys didn’t make it. My dad and Phil and my uncle Rick Bean are the only ones who’ve been here every year.” This year 44 players registered with 22 on each team. The cold weather sent most people indoors but that didn’t bother the die-hard enthusiasts from getting their round in. “Not too many events can continue throughout the years but this one has gone strong for 20 years now with the teams expanding as more guys were interested in playing,” Ryan said. The “Putnam County Ryder Cup” is always played the first Sunday in October. Apparently whether it’s warm and sunny or cold and cloudy, there’s no stopping an avid golfer.

Knowing a judge will act impartially is very important to the administration of justice. I am in a unique position among the candidates in that I am currently serving my third term as State’s Attorney. This service puts my record as a prosecutor on public display. It also shows the impartial manner in which I have made prosecuting decisions. The same impartial manner I would use to perform the responsibilities of judge.

HBA meeting to highlight school improvements HENNEPIN — The Hennepin Betterment Association welcomes the public in hosting Jay McCracken, superintendent of the Putnam County Schools. The HBA meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Hennepin Elementary Building, with a catered dinner served at that time. Participants should use the north entrance of the building for the fellowship with dinner in the school’s cafeteria. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and conclude with a tour of the completed gym renovations. McCracken will discuss improvements to the gym. He will be joined by junior high principal Carl Carlson, who will discuss the Google Chromebooks being provided to certain students as part of the 1:1 technology initiative. The gym project was done in two parts and included a

restoration of the decades old gym floor with a new reflective finish. McCracken said this finish is more durable and requires less maintenance than previous finishes and will last for quite a long time. The project also included new bleachers that are of an updated design, making them safer. They are now movable, allowing for many more creative uses for the gym space. Carlson will discuss the investment in Google Chromebooks that are being distributed to fifth, seventh, eighth and certain high school students to be used in class. This will have a huge impact on the curriculum and is a major investment in the future of the students. R.S.V.P. to Christina Mennie at 815-925-4090 or email Mennie at ckjlaw@mchsi. com. The cost for the meal is $10 and includes desert.

The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing. 3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.

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.

National 4-H Week will be celebrated Oct. 5-11

Residents can decorate pumpkins at library MAGNOLIA – The Magnolia Branch Library will have a special pumpkin decorating contest — book character pumpkins. Starting Oct. 18, children can come to the Magnolia branch of the Putnam County Library to pick out a pumpkin or use one of their own to create a book character using their imagination and favorite book. If children need help selecting a book character, the librarian can help

locate popular book characters to choose from. Pumpkins can be decorated at the library during open hours on Oct. 21 and 23, or children can take them home to decorate. Pumpkins should be brought back to the Magnolia branch to be displayed for family and friends to see by Oct. 25. Judging will take place on Oct. 30 and prizes will be given to all. For more information, call 815-869-3038.

HENRY — Four-H’ers in Marshall-Putnam counties will join the 6 million other youth currently in 4-H in celebrating National 4-H Week Oct. 5 to 11. Four-H youth development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Illinois and are assisted by more than 13,000 volunteer adult leaders. Four-H members in Marshall-Putnam were part of a survey to measure the value of the 4-H experience. Denise Legvold, state 4-H program leader, said the results showed 4-H has a positive influence on the participants. “Four-H’ers said that they feel welcomed at their 4-H club meetings and feel that adult leaders care about them,” Legvold said. “And, nearly all of the members surveyed stated 4-H helped them develop independent life skills and

prepared them for their future and possible careers.” Many 4-H’ers perform service projects which benefit their community, and over 90 percent of those surveyed could list ways to make a difference in their communities, Legvold said. “Nearly all of our graduating seniors reported they learned skills through 4-H they can use in a future job,” Legvold added. Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18. The new program year began Sept. 1, and new clubs are forming in this community now. To learn more about 4-H and enroll your child in a local club, contact Anne Scheel at University of Illinois Extension Marshall-Putnam office, located at 509 Front St.

in Henry, or call 309-364-2356. Illinois 4-H strives to help youth learn skills for living. University of Illinois Extension provides 4-H programs in every county in Illinois. Illinois 4-H aims to impact the lives of 200,000 youth each year through sustained learning clubs and groups and short-term programming. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, contact 815-875-2878. University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you have questions or need more information, call University of Illinois Extension, Bureau-LaSalle-Marshall-Putnam Unit at 309-364-2356. Extension offices are located in Princeton, Ottawa, Henry and in Oglesby on the IVCC campus.
