Pumpkin season

Boggio’s Orchard between Granville and Mark canceled its major vendor and craft show on its scheduled weekend (Sept. 28-29) because of the heavy rains. The business planned to have some crafters present during the following weekend, and Boggio’s still did get quite a few customers through the doors and into their pumpkin patch — purchasing mums, gourds, cider, apple cider doughnuts and kettle corn, just to name a few.

Board approves new ordinance to boost utility bill compliance Pay bills promptly, or else owe even more BY STEVE LUNGER For Shaw Media GRANVILLE — Delinquent water and sewer bills will not stand in Granville. The Granville Village Board approved a new ordinance Oct. 1 that revises timelines and increases fees for those who fail to pay water and sewer bills on time. The new ordinance, drafted by village attorney Brad Po p u r e l l a , m ove s the due date of all water and sewer bills Brad from the 15th of each Popurella month to the third Granville Thursday of each month. village A 10 percent late attorney fee will be added to all bills not paid on time, and those who have not paid will have past-due cards mailed to them on the third Friday of the month — with payments due on or before the following Wednesday. If payment still is not made, the water will be shut off on the fourth Thursday of the month and additional fees will be assessed — both to turn the water off and then to turn it back on again once the account becomes current. In such a case, residents with past due bills will be charged $50 for the disconnection of their service and $50 for the reconnection of their service, if these actions occur during regular working hours of the public works department. If not, residents

will face greater fees of $150 for each action. In the event of repeat offenders, fees will double the third time that the water must be disconnected and reconnected again. This ordinance takes effect Jan. 1.

Board invests in equipment In other board action, Joe Glynn, field service operations manager with Total Environmental Service Technologies Inc., presented a combined proposal from G.L. Scheri Electric Co. and Complete Integration and Services for the engineering, installation, programming and testing of two blower variable frequency drives for use at the wastewater treatment plant, at a total cost of $33,440. Though the village previously considered a soft-start system, Glynn pointed out an important distinction with variable frequency drives: “The soft-starts start the motor up slowly, but then ramp it up to full speed and that’s where it stays 24 hours a day; where a VFD will modulate depending on the oxygen in the tank.” Glynn said this distinction means that VFDs enhance the prospect of greater savings on energy costs. He estimated savings of a minimum of $5,000 a year. In addition, Glynn pointed out that with Ameren Illinois’ VFD incentives program, the village could expect to receive $10,000 toward the purchase. Following discussion, the board unanimously approved the bid.

Street-patching update Village engineer Mike Richetta, of Chamlin and Associates, along with Kevin Moore, acting superintendent

of public works, reported that spray patch work on the streets is underway and should be completed soon. Also, the VFW project is done, and though sealcoating had been slated for this year, it will not happen until the spring. In his role as police chief, Moore said delivery has yet to be made on the new squad car purchased by the village. In addition, he recommended repairing the 2013 model before selling it. It may need a new torque converter, and a recall exists on its catalytic converter. These repairs will be pursued with Al Cioni Ford of Granville. Moore also reported that of the four new par t-time of ficers hired, two are already Jared patrolling on their own. The remaining Baker two continue to progGranville ress through their village training and should president be completed soon. Trustee Jeff Greathouse reported on estimates for an electronic marquee sign to be installed at the village entrance. In view of costs ranging from $20,000 to $30,000, the board determined to consider other possibilities.

Upcoming events Village President Jared Baker outlined upcoming events: • The village Halloween party will be held Thursday, Oct. 31, with a parade at 5 p.m. and hot dogs and chili in the park. • The Veterans Day dinner will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12. • The village’s Christmas celebration will be from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 7.

PUTNAM COUNTY

Final property assessment multiplier unveiled It’s 1.0000, which is the same as it was last year HENNEPIN — Putnam County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, director of the Illinois Depart-

ment of Revenue. The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assess-

ments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts).

See MULTIPLIER, Page 3

• MULTIPLIER Continued from Page 2

comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor. If this three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one. A change in the equalization fac-

tor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments increase. The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result. Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value. Farm-

land is not subject to the state equalization factor. Assessments in Putnam County are at 33.31 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2019 taxes, payable in 2020. Last year’s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000. The final assessment equalization factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued in July 2019 was 1.0000. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by

PUTNAM COUNTY ROTARY

Rotary members staying active in community

Several events are coming up; other programs underway BY DAVE COOK For the Putnam County Record HENNEPIN — Putnam County Rotary Secretary Scott Shore recently provided an update on the group’s activities and also shared some of the details regarding upcoming projects and events to benefit the local community. Members of the Putnam County Rotary recently visited the third-graders of Putnam County Elementary School for the 13th annual distribution of free student dictionaries. Use of the dictionaries is worked into the curriculum so the students learn how to get the most out of their new educational gift. This program is part of the national Rotary’s efforts to encourage and support literacy and educational growth. Following the presentation of the dictionaries, the enthusiastic students were challenged through a series of fun games requiring them to find words, definitions and other information contained within the dictionaries that include an atlas, weights and measurements, U.S. and world history, astronomy and more. Earlier in September, the Putnam County High School Interact Club

hosted a blood drive in tribute of Sept. 11, which brought in a total of 36 donors. The drive collected 24 units of blood for the Red Cross, and there were 13 first-time donors among the participating students. Shore also reported the family of Rotarian Brandy Sandberg is currently hosting a full-year exchange student, the first in 17 years, at their home in McNabb. Valentina Daza Gutierrez is visiting from Colombia through the Rotary Exchange Program and is attending Putnam County High School this year as a senior. Shore said the talented Gutierrez will ideally experience two more host homes during her time in the United States per the Rotary’s hosting guidelines, which are intended to provide the broadest experience possible.

Exchange Students in the Rotary District. Shore added it would be a first experience for nearly all of them. An evening Bunco fundraising event, “BUNCOWEEN,” is Scott scheduled for Friday, Shore Nov. 1, at Putnam County High School. This year’s Putnam County Rotary Grant Project is to provide a “Little Free Pantry” to the Putnam County Community Center in Standard. This mini-food pantry will be available all week, every week, to help provide extra food in a pinch for seniors and residents in need. It will include both a food cabinet and a new refrigerator. Putnam County Rotarians are

World Polio Day The Putnam County Rotary is working with other area clubs to possibly host a joint fundraising event in recognition of World Polio Day on Oct. 24. More details will be announced as they are made available. “The PCHS Interact Club will host this year’s all-county Halloween parade and party with kids’ carnival games and activities, on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the McNabb Fire Station and Goldasich Hall,” Shore said. He said the event will likely be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 20. The day may also include a pumpkin-carving event for all eight to nine Youth

working with the Peru Rotary to establish a new “Rotaract Club” at Illinois Valley Community College. T his club will fill the ste p between the high school Interact Clubs and Rotary membership. Shore reported several meetings have been held with administrators at the college and that there’s a core group of charter members who are ready to go. A charter event will likely be held on campus in November. The Peru Rotary is sponsoring the new club, and two of its members will be serving as the faculty advisers at IVCC.

GATEWAY SERVICES

Nationwide campaign taking place in October PRINCETON — Gateway Services has announced its participation in National Disability Employment Awareness Month, an annual awareness campaign that takes place each October. The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. This year’s theme is “The Right Talent, Right Now.” The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month traces back to 1945 when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the

week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month. “Every day, individuals with disabilities add significant value Tracy and talent to our Wright workforce and econ- CEO, Gateway omy,” said U.S. Secre- Services Inc. tary of Labor Alexander Acosta. “Individuals with disabilities offer employers diverse perspectives on how to tackle challenges and achieve success. Individuals with disabilities have the right talent, right now.”

Local activities Reflecting this year’s theme, Gateway Services will be engaging in a variety of activities to educate everyone on disability employment issues and its commitment to an inclusive work culture. Throughout the month, Gateway will be sharing information on their Facebook page, along with a public “thank you” to area employers in

the local newspapers. A celebration is also being planned for individuals who obtained or maintained employment in the last year. Finally, employers will be acknowledged for providing community employment opportunities or volunteer experiences for individuals. “We are proud to be a part of this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month,” Tracy Wright, CEO of Gateway Services, said. “We want to spread the important message that people with disabilities want to work and are capable of doing an amazing job,” Wright said. Gateway’s CES program, in collaboration with the Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation, provides services to individuals with a variety of disabilities from Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties, offering a number of strategies and opportunities for employment. From résumé building or developing interview skills to the actual job search, the CES program covers all aspects involved with successfully

PROTECT YOU & YOUR BUSINESS! ! NOTICE

obtaining employment. If needed, Gateway also provides a job coach while the employee becomes acclimated to his/her new position. “Individuals involved in the CES program have a wide range of disabilities from intellectual or learning disabilities that have been lifelong to physical and medical disabilities that have occurred later in life,” Wright said. “The philosophy of the program is that everyone who has a desire to work should be given that opportunity to find a meaningful job suited to his/her interests and abilities.” Gateway’s CES program has assisted individuals in finding jobs in a variety of occupations, including janitorial, retail, office work and maintenance. Employers and employees in all industries can learn more about disability awareness and ways they can promote the message by visiting www.dol.gov/ndeam. For more infor mation about Gateway’s CES program, contact Michael Brown, CES supervisor, at 815-875-4548, ext. 255.

OGLESBY

Yednock, IVCC to host free Job Fair

OGLESBY — State Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa, is helping local job seekers partner with local employers by working with the Illinois Valley Community College to host a job fair on Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the IVCC campus in Oglesby.

Because of limited space at the college, interested business owners must RSVP for this event in order to participate. To do so, call at 815-324-5055 or

email StateRepYednock@gmail. com. After receipt of an RSVP, additional information about setup, tables and chairs will be provided. “I strongly encourage both employers and employees to participate in this event, as their joints efforts will create a better Illinois and middle class in short and long term,” Yednock said.

Ex-congressman planted the seeds for a powerful tribute WASHINGTON — There is power in names. That is something of which former Illinois Congressman Paul Findley was keenly aware. Findley, a Republican from Jacksonville, died last month at age 98. Findley, who served in the U.S. House from 1960 until 1982, was an early critic of American military involvement in Vietnam. “We were looking for a way to send a message of our opposition,” said Stephen Jones, a former aide to Findley. “He had voted against extending the draft and reappointing General (Earle) Wheeler as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But then we came up with the idea of putting the name of every servicemen killed in action into the Congressional Record.” More than 35,000 names were initially entered into the record, throwing the Government Publishing Office into disarray and forcing the Congressional Record to be published a day late for perhaps the first time in modern history. “It had an impact. More than 100,000 copies were printed and it became one of the most requested items from that office. To the best

COMMENTARY Scott Reeder of our knowledge, it was the first time all of those names became publicly available. Every six months, Paul would add names of additional people killed in action to the record.” The printed names were read aloud at anti-war demonstrations, treasured by families of those slain, and stood as a silent testimony to the horrible cost of war.

Significance of Findley’s list In the years following the conflict, the list took on new significance. “My father always believed that the architect for the Vietnam Memorial, Maya Lin, drew her inspiration to list all of the names on the memorial from the work he had done with the Congressional Record,” the congressman’s son, Craig Findley, told me this past week. What is known, is that Lin used the list Findley had the Pentagon compile to inscribe the name of every American killed in Vietnam onto to the memorial, Jones said. The black granite wall, with the names of 58,318 fallen soldiers carved into its face, was completed in late October 1982 and dedicated

in November 1982. The wall is V-shaped, with one side pointing to the Lincoln Memorial and the other to the Washington Monument. Lin’s conception was to create an opening or a wound in the earth to symbolize the gravity of the loss of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. The memorial is now the most visited site in Washington. Mary O’Malley Bragg, of Mansfield, first visited the memorial with her mother to see her brother Freddy’s name. “It was so emotional. There were people just like us standing there crying. Each name on that wall represents a whole universe. “Each person on the wall is loved and is connected with others, and each name represents its own tragedy.” A rubbing of Fred O’Malley’s name is framed and hanging in her home. “It’s so nice that when friends visit Washington, D.C., they trace his name and share it with us. It reminds us that he is remembered and honored. I keep all of them.” For Steve Watts, of Galesburg, visiting the wall is a means of coming to terms with a tumultuous era. “The name of my cousin, Gale Vogler, is on that wall. He was five years older than me, and we weren’t close. But it was a controversial time. I remember being

worried about being drafted. I don’t like the word ‘closure.’ For me, going to the wall and seeing his name was like putting a period at the end of a sentence.” Vogler was a standout athlete at United Township High School in East Moline. For this writer, when I first stood in front of that black granite wall, I was a senior at Galesburg High School visiting our nation’s capital with a dozen of my classmates in April of 1983. Although the war had ended only eight years earlier, for a teenager it was ancient history. It might as well have been the Romans and Carthaginians fighting in 264 B.C., Vietnam seemed a distant time, unrelated to me. As I reached out and touched the black granite and my fingers traced a random name, a National Park ranger sidled next to me. “Do you know the average age on this wall?” she whispered. I shook my head, and she said, “19.” I looked again into the wall and saw my 18-year-old self, reflected back among the names. A chill passed through me. These were men and women my age. The war became real.

health care providers continue to struggle with education and support. Doctors deserve education to diagnose this disease earlier to slow the progression of the disease. Families deserve answers. And most of all, victims of this disease deserve a cure so they can live their life to the fullest. With early diagnosis, research, family support and education we want to spare this hardship for other families. For these reasons, I have asked my elected officials to prioritize this vulnerable population. Increased research funding is vital, but so too are enhanced care and support services for individuals and their caregivers.

Thankfully, my congressman, Adam Kinzinger, is taking an active stance on this issue by co-sponsoring the bipartisan Improving HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act (H.R. 1873) and Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2019 (H.R. 1903). The two bills are critical to improving access to resources and enhancing quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Please join me in thanking Rep. Kinzinger for ensuring that Alzheimer’s is brought to the forefront of the congressional agenda. Together, we have the opportunity to help those struggling with this terrible disease until a prevention or cure is found.

Panthers end Peoria Christian’s TCC reign Putnam County captures conference title by five strokes

The Putnam County boys golf team poses with the Tri-County Conference championship trophy they captured by five strokes last week over perennial champion Peoria Christian. Members are Josh Jessen (from left), Luke Olson, Ben Cyr, Ian Roach, Ryan Hundley and Chris Uzella.

BY SHANNON JENKINS news@putnamcountyrecord.com PONTIAC — For the past 17 years, Peoria Christian had won the Tri-County Conference golf tournament. 2018 will be the last time that happens, as Putnam County shut them down in their last season in the Tri-County by taking first place in the 2019 conference golf tourney on Oct. 2. The Panthers finished with a team score of 347 to beat second-place Peoria Christian (352) by five strokes at the Pontiac Elks Golf Club in Pontiac. Ben Cyr shot a 76 to lead the Putnam County boys, placing him second overall. When asked what he thought about the season overall, Cyr said it had been a struggle because the team just didn’t have the numbers that they were used to in the past. However, Cyr continued: “The team made it work and is now the conference champs. This hasn’t been done for 18 years, and we did it with a great group of kids making great memories.” Ian Roach was just behind Cyr with a 77, placing him third overall. Roach said his “up and down game was solid as well as the iron game, but my driver was not reliable and straight.” Cyr also commented about his frustration off the tee. “I only hit five greens in regulation, (but) my chipping and putting was phenomenal all day,” he said. Coach Chelsi Niewinski felt the same way with the boys’ performances. “Ben and Ian both put together solid rounds, as usual,” Niewinski said. “They both aim to be right around par, so, of course, they can always pick a few shots out that they wish they could have back when they are

a few over par. But I was really happy with the rounds they put together, and it gave Ben second and Ian third overall, which is great. “ Senior Luke Olson finished with a 93 and sophomore Chris Uzella a 101. Both had some difficulties on the front nine but pushed through the second nine with improvement. “Ben and Ian usually get the majority of the attention, but I was extremely proud of the other guys out there, too,” Niewinski said. “Both Luke and Chris did not shoot the greatest on their first nine. They could have let that frustration carry out to their second nine, but they didn’t. They improved eight to 10 strokes each from their front nine to their back nine. Without that, we don’t win.” Niewinski was also pleased with the strong performance of freshman teammates Josh Jessen (103) and Ryan Hundley (109). When asked what was different between the front nine and the back nine, Olson said: “We all wanted to win. I played better the second nine because the stakes were higher. We knew we needed to get hot to win.”

Uzella said, “I took my time on the back nine and put myself in a better position and scored better.”

Girls tournament Ali Ciucci (98) was the top medalist for the Lady Panthers in the girls Tri-County Conference golf tournament. Ciucci noted her struggles on a par 5 hole. “I had to take a couple shots to get out,” she said. “On the other hand, my short game was very good that day, which helped me out a lot. I was pretty content with my overall score considering that Pontiac has always been a tough course Ali for me. I was thrilled with the win Ciucci for my senior year.” Coach Niewinski remarked: “Ali was kind of the same story. She had a tough front nine but turned around and had an awesome back nine and was able to win medalist honors by two strokes.”
