Library program leaves its mark on patrons
A ton of help
FFA class collects 2,000 pounds of food for Putnam County Food Pantry

HENNEPIN — A several thousand year old art form recently came to the Hennepin Library for the first time, and it left its mark on more than a dozen Putnam County residents. Used by a variety of cultures, but most recognizable as part of Indian celebrations, Henna is the art form of applying elaborate and often floral designs to the skin using a paste derived from the Henna plant. Kristi Gehrt, artistic director and professional body artist for Wild Style Design Co., visited the library on Oct. 26. She’s been doing commercial make-up and body painting for 12 years and applying Henna designs for six. She said she’s done several Indian weddings, where she’s spent up to three days applying designs to entire wedding parties.
GRANVILLE — As volunteers of the Putnam County Food Pantry stepped through the front doors on the morning of Oct. 26, they received a nice surprise — 2,000 pounds of food was waiting for them. For the fourth consecutive year, the Putnam County High School (PCHS) FFA class has canvased Mark, Magnolia, McNabb, Standard and Granville as part of their annual trick-or-treat canned food drive. PCHS Ag Science teacher John Heiser said the amount of food donated has increased each year, especially throughout the last two years.

Women of Distinction honored
State Sen. Sue Rezin offers words of inspiration By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — Six women from the Illinois Valley were honored for their outstanding service and dedication to our area communities at the fourth annual Illinois Valley Living Women of Distinction event held Tuesday at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens. Nearly 200 people — mostly women and a handful of men— attended the event to hear the stories of Sheryl Churney of LaSalle, Nancy Heiden of Princeton, Joy Kauffman
“Don’t look at a challenge as a setback, look at a challenge as a positive to make yourself better.” State Sen. Sue Rezin of Tiskilwa, Monico Huber Nunez of Princeton, Barbara White of Cherry and Deb Wood of Princeton. The honorees shared stories about what led them to successful careers and willingness to led a helping hand. The women also shared secrets to overcoming challenges, told of their inspirations, thanked their encouragers and motivated fellow women in the crowd to go above and beyond in their own lives.
IN HONOR OF OUR VETERANS The Village of Granville would like to invite you to Dinner on
Novemberr 9th at 6pm Wedn nesd day, Granville American Legion 209 N. McCoy Street If you are able to attend Please RSVP by Nov. 4 to the Granville Village Hall

This year’s keynote speaker was Illinois State Sen. Sue Rezin, who was also a 2015 Women of Distinction Award winner. Rezin’s message to the crowd of women was to never let their surroundings limit them. She got personal when she shared a story of her mother, who to this day continues to serve as Rezin’s role model and inspiration. Rezin’s mother worked on the family farm, raised a
family, managed a household and went to night school, which led her to college, a career as a teacher and eventually a school superintendent. “Nothing would limit her. No matter how difficult it was, she pressed forward,” she said. “Don’t look at a challenge as a setback, look at a challenge as a positive to make yourself better,” she said. Rezin shared her own success story of when she was first stepped into the Senate. Coming from being a stay-at-home mom, Rezin described herself as being shy and petrified of speaking in public. After a year, Rezin tried for a leadership role in the Senate Caucus, however
was turned down because of her unwillingness to talk on the Senate floor. After denial, Rezin spent the next two years working on confidence and public speaking. When the position again became available, she tried once more and landed the position the second time around. Despite hard work and dedication to a career, Rezin reminded women to not let it define who they are. “It’s only a fraction of who we are,” she said, adding the roles of a coach, a volunteer, a friend or a mother are the roles that will truly give meaning to the people we are in the end.

Popurella From Page 1 Assistant state’s attorney, LaSalle County, 2000-2004. Anthony Raccuglia and Associates, P.C., 2004-2012. Popurella Law Office, 2012-present. Village attorney, Magnolia – 2013-present. Village attorney, Granville – 2014-present. Assistant public defender, Bureau County, 2015-present. Pro Bono lawyer, Prairie State Legal Services. What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected:
My first goal would be to cement relationships with all of the law enforcement agencies working in the county. By building and maintaining solid relationships we can be an effective team in combating crime in our county. My second goal would be to team up with CPASA and implement a D.A.R.E. program to help educate our children as to the dangers of drugs and alcohol. I will take a hard-line stance on the use or trafficking of illegal and illicit drugs in our county. My final goal will be to make the Office of the State’s Attorney accessible to all residents of the county. Being available and willing to work with the county
residents on their concerns will assist in the overall effort to curb crimes in our community. In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers: As a Putnam County resident and taxpayer myself, I want to make sure the office is operating at its most efficient capacity. I will work with the county board to trim the budget where necessary. With my broad experience I will handle a majority of the legal work myself, saving the county thousands of dollars in outside legal fees. What changes will you make if you are elected: I will ensure the office operates in a fiscally responsible manner.
I will work hard to enforce the laws equally for everyone. I will aggressively handle all prosecutions myself with an emphasis on protecting those most vulnerable, like children and the elderly. I will take a hard stance on drug use and trafficking in our communities. Why should voters cast their ballots for you: I have handled a diverse amount of cases since I began practicing law. I have prosecuted ordinance violations. I have worked on murder investigations. I have tried serious misdemeanors and felonies to verdict before juries. I have tried jury trials throughout North Central
Illinois. I have argued before the Third District Appellate Court and the Illinois Supreme Court. I know what it takes to make effective, successful presentations before a judge and a jury. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County: I will utilize hard work, proven leadership and my experience in and out of the courtroom. Justice will be there for everyone, regardless of your last name, your social status, or who your buddies are. I will work tirelessly to protect our children and the elderly. I will take a hard-line stance on drugs and drug trafficking.

The PCHS FFA club canvased the county during it’s annual canned food drive and collected 2,000 pounds of food for the Putnam County Food Pantry. Pictured are Kindra Shawback (front row, from left), Ashley Johnson, Cassie Johnson and (back row, from left) Ag Science teacher John Heiser, Jack Buffington, Jacob Wiesbrock, Aaron Cimei, Kole Chiado, Dillion Schoepke and Putnam County Food Pantry manager John Shimkus.
From Page 1 PCHS senior Ashley Johnson said, “I enjoyed seeing how generous people are during this time of year; they’re all so eager to help. It’s nice to be able to provide help to such a good cause.” Putnam County Food Pantry manager John Shimkus thanked the class and helped direct them as the dozens of baskets were arranged throughout the shelter. “Everyone in the county is always so generous any time they’re asked for help, we’re always in need and always very appreciative,” Shimkus said. He said the most needed items continue to be easy to make or ready-to-eat items such as canned goods or the Hamburger Helper type of boxed meals. Toiletries are also often needed. Shimkus said monetary donations are always helpful as well, and they can be made directly to him at the pantry or by visiting the Granville National Bank. “Just tell them it’s for the Putnam County Food Pantry, and we’ll receive it. You can also get a receipt for your donation,” he said. The pantry is open on Saturdays from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. and is located at 103 W. Church St. in Granville.

Accident kills one, injures two PERU — Route 251 was shut down from the Oglesby spur to Route 6 in Peru from 2:40 to 4:50 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, after a three-car crash at the intersection of Route 251 and North 2551st Road (Ben Samek Road) south of the Illinois River in the city of Peru. There was one confirmed fatality in the accident, and the two other drivers were taken to Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru. Peru and Oglesby ambulances responded the scene, along with Peru Fire Department Rescue squad, Peru Emergency Services and Disaster agency, Illinois Department of Transportation, Oglesby Police, LaSalle County Sheriffs deputies and Peru Police. During the rescue and extrication efforts by Peru firemen, the LaSalle Fire Department manned the
Peru station. The intersection of Route 251 and Ben Samek Road was repaired roughly a year ago to help give drivers an unobstructed view when turning onto northbound Route 251 from Ben Samek Road. “It is not related to an obstructed view like in previous accidents at this location. We believe that a northbound vehicle was stopped waiting to turn west onto the Ben Samek Road when that vehicle was rear ended by another northbound vehicle. This second northbound vehicle then spun into the southbound lane and was struck broadside by a southbound vehicle. The driver of the second northbound vehicle that was ultimately broadsided was killed in the crash,” said Police Chief Doug Bernabei An accident reconstruction will take place.

gers and gradually lighten as it moves up the hand onto the arm. “The design takes one to three days to fully oxidize and reach its deepest coloring. Henna, with proper care, will last one to three weeks. It’s a painless, all-natural, temporary tattoo,” Gehrt said. She said it’s Indian tradition that as long as the Henna design is visible on a bride’s hands, she doesn’t have to do any housework. Unsurprisingly, Indian brides have developed ways to extend the life of the art. “A small amount of oil placed on the skin before washing helps protects it from fading prematurely,” laughed Gehrt. Hennepin Village Clerk Diana Brandstatter and resident Doris Miller both chose designs for their inner wrists and enjoyed the process that only took a few minutes to apply. Miller said, “It was fun, quick, and all the designs were beautiful, I’m happy I came tonight.”
From Page 1 Henna paste is made from all natural ingredients including powder made from dried Henna leaves, sugar, lemon juice and essential oils; Gehrt said she prefers lavender oil for its relaxing scent. Made by hand until the proper consistency is reached, the paste is applied much like frosting to a cake. Once applied to the skin, the non-allergenic paste takes approximately an hour to dry. During this time care must be taken to not smear the paste or the design will be ruined. After drying completely, the paste crumbles off of the skin, and a very light stain is visible. By the next morning, the designs will have turned a rich, sienna brown. The color of the designs is dependent on skin tone, and the stains are darkest at the end of the body. Therefore, a hand design will be darkest on the fin-
Mennie From Page 1 In 2010, I opened my own general practice. I did everything from contract negotiation on commercial business ventures to criminal defense work and family law. I was also counsel for the village of Granville. I was able to draft ordinances and deal personally with municipal law. I am presently the chairperson of the Putnam County Health Department. In that capacity, we help protect the citizens of Putnam County through education, inspection and regulation of food establishments. We also work to promote healthy lifestyles and provide medical and dental care to those in need. Our goal is the health and well-being of Putnam County. Finally, I have served almost two years as the Putnam County State’s Attorney. I do not believe there is any better experience for the job you are running for than to actually serve in the position and to be able to demonstrate a solid record for the public to see. I have a proven record of being tough on crime, and I hope I have earned the privilege to continue in this position on behalf of the citizens of Putnam County. What are your Top 3 goals, if you are elected: • Drug Awareness/Prevention for our youth. Unfortunately drugs are a problem in the Illinois Valley area. We are fortunate to have a smaller drug issue than many of the surrounding counties, but that doesn’t mean we can be lax on education and enforcement to keep the dealers out. We have a great group of kids in Putnam County. We need to work together as a community to provide leadership and education to the children who are our future. We have several great groups already formed such as CPASA, but community involvement is key. • Fiscal Responsibility. It is important that our county is fiscally sound. Our county board has done a great job in keeping this so. As everyone knows, the state has not been operating in a fiscally responsible manner for quite some time, and that has trickled down to the counties, municipalities and townships. We have been going through times when the state just refused to pay the portions they collected that were allocated for certain county funds. The state has recently start-
ed paying in a more timely fashion and that helped the county out tremendously. The state’s attorney should work closely with the board and be their advocate when the state is not fulfilling its responsibilities. • Tough on re-offenders. I understand people make mistakes, and first-time offenders should have the opportunity to right their wrongs. I believe first time offenders should be given some consideration when their punishment is determined in hopes they will reform. When it comes to re-offenders, I do not see the value in indulging a person who refuses to accept responsibility. I do think people can change, but when you see defendants who continue to break the law and disrespect our judicial system/law enforcement, I lose all compassion. I will give anyone who makes a mistake a chance to make it right, but after someone is given the opportunity to accept personal responsibility, but continues down the wrong path, I don’t believe in spending time and taxpayer resources trying to rehabilitate. I believe this to be true for every defendant, regardless of his or her position, status or relationship to any law enforcement or me. In what ways will you be fiscally responsible to taxpayers? My office has been under budget since I became state’s attorney. When I took office in 2014, there was a pending case, Putnam County v. Cook County. The case originated in Putnam County and revolved around tax dollars generated in Putnam County. Before I took office, Cook County’s attorneys were successful in changing the venue to Cook County. I was later notified a Cook County judge had ruled against Putnam County; we received zero dollars. This didn’t sit well with me, so I consulted with our county board and recommended to appeal the issue. Just last week, Putnam County received a check for $30,000 from Cook County. This is the kind of representation the people of Putnam County deserve. I will not sit around and be content with the status quo. I will continue to fight for the county, and I hope the citizens afford me that opportunity in November. What changes will you make if you are elected? My office runs very efficiently. As I stated in response to the last question, we were under budget
the last two years I have served. I have a great working relationship with law enforcement and the public officials inside and outside the courthouse, and that will continue. Some of the laws have been changing, so it is important to keep evolving along with the changes. Continuing education is something that is important for all attorneys, and I have attended many courses to make certain we have the most up-to-date information in this office. I will continue to work with the probation department to encourage rehabilitation and counseling for first offenders, so as to not overcrowd the jail and or cost the county money unnecessarily. Why should voters cast their ballots for you? From a young age, I was required to work in my family’s business and in public service. I have never shied away from hard work; a qualification the state’s attorney must have. With the recent events in Standard, this office and law enforcement have worked to see justice is served. The work ethic instilled in me by my family has paid off; I am grateful. I will make an effort to see people are judged fairly. My record shows I have been impartial to all citizens regardless of who they are. People make mistakes, and I will work with those who wish to reform; however, the perpetual re-offender won’t see a compassionate side. Anyone that knows me understands Putnam County has always been my priority. My husband Scott, my family, and I went door to door in the county. I hope the people see how important Putnam County is to me and will cast their vote accordingly. What kind of promises will you make and keep to the citizens of Putnam County? • I will continue to fight for what is right for our county. • I will continue to stay tough on crime and will continue, as my record reflects, as being fair and just for all of the people who I come into contact with. • I will work with first time offenders and juveniles to get them the counseling and direction they need in order for them to be a productive and successful part of society. • I will continue to work with the county board to keep Putnam County efficient. • I promise to always put Putnam County first.

Tick, tick, tick ...
I don’t wear a watch. Other than a blue Barbie watch my grandparents gave me when I was a child, having time on my wrist has never really appealed to me. My friends and colleagues would say that’s the reason I’m usually running a few minutes late, but Terri I would disagree. Simon I’m late because I am always thinking COMMENTARY I can accomplish one more thing before I have to be somewhere at a particular time ... but that’s another column. Actually, I think I’m usually “running a few minutes behind” because as a child, we were the type of family who always got somewhere early. Being early meant one thing — waiting, and if you think I’m somewhat impatient now, my childhood patience was even slimmer. We were always the first car in the parking lot for Sunday church services, often getting there before the minister. We were sent to the end of the gravel lane long before the school bus had even turned onto our road. That was the tip of the iceberg. That’s right. I grew up in a prompt household, and as a child, I vowed I would never wait for anything as an adult ... especially if I could come screaming in at the last minute. Sad, but that theory still makes sense to me. To further explain the time issue of my youthful years, the single clock in the house (aside from those in the bedrooms) was a wall clock that hung in the kitchen. If my memory serves me correctly, that lone clock was a whimsical rendition of a black cat, whose eyes moved one way and tail moved another with every tick of the time piece. No doubt one of us bought this clock for my grandmother, but truthfully, that darn clock had a way of creeping me out — those cat eyes following me every time I entered the kitchen. To make matters worse, my grandfather — who I have to believe was never a minute late in his entire life — required that cat clock to be set 20 minutes fast. Why 20 minutes was the magical number I’m not sure. All I know was that if you wanted to really know what time it was, you looked at the clock and then subtracted 20 minutes. While that was probably a good lesson in arithmetic for the kids in the family, we weren’t fooling anyone. All of knew the clock was exactly 20 minutes fast. If anything, it tended to result in a bit of confusion ... “What time is it?” my grandmother would ask one of us. Somebody would head to the kitchen and return to let her know it was 11:15 a.m. Her next question is what sticks with me most ... “Is that fast time or right time?” she’d ask. We were probably the only household in the country that had two time zones. Wow! Once I grew up and had my own home ... well, there would be one time zone, and there would be no need for “fast time” or “right time” questions. But not so fast ... Today, the clock in my bedroom ... you guessed it ... is set 10 minutes fast. While nobody is asking me to decipher the time for them, I set it ahead to give myself an extra 10 minutes before I have to rise and shine. When the clock hits 6 a.m., I know it’s really 5:50 a.m., and I still have 10 minutes to spare. Aaahhh. On the flip side, the clock in my car is now about eight minutes slow. Actually it used to be five minutes fast, but something happened (it was probably me pushing buttons on the dash I still haven’t figured out), and now, the darn digital time-keeper is slow, and I can’t figure out which buttons to push to make it fast again. Ugh. And the clock on my computer at the office is four minutes behind the one in the newsroom, but I have no idea which one is right or wrong. To add salt to the proverbial wound, I’m really attracted to cool clocks, and my kitchen walls, counters, shelves, etc. are decorated with a plethora of time pieces in all shapes and sizes. Funny ... I look at those clocks every day, but I have no desire to keep track of time. I just like the way they look. Still ... time marches on ... even if I’m running just a tad behind schedule.

TO Letter THE Editor
Hennepin water/sewer rates to soar in 2017 To the Editor, I don’t know how many people that live in Hennepin are aware of the fact that our water and sewer rates will be increased in 2017. We can look forward to quite a steep increase. Several factors are involved in this. Our plant was built over 50 years ago. Back in those days, the steel mill footed most of the bill. Now the mill is closed, and many things are needed to keep the plant running. That being said, a rate increase is needed. Probably most residents understand that, however, it sounds to me like the people who manage our water district did not do a very good job of running our plant. Why did they not do some
maintenance work in past years? You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand you cannot build something and not maintain it for 50 years without updating. Is that one of the reasons why we are in such bad shape now? We were paying $50.60 month for water and sewer if your usage was under 5,000 gallons/month. Under our new rates, base bill will increase $20/month and base water usage will decrease to 4,000 gallons/ month. My gallons used for September this year was a little over 4,100 gallons. At the new rates, my bill would be about $75/month. That computes to a 50 percent increase which I would say is very high.
There are only two people in my home. We conserve as much water as we can. Wash dishes only once a day with full load in dishwasher. Only wash clothes when we have a full load. Also have low water use toilets and water faucets and do not wash our cars or water yards and gardens. Don’t really know what else we could do to reduce consumption. What will these new rates do to a family of five or six people? All in all I believe the water board has been a very poor steward for managing our money and our water plant. This is going to hurt a lot of families in Hennepin. Larry Eden Hennepin
Teamsters support Skoog To the Editor, Teamsters Local Union No. 722, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, announced its endorsement of Andy Skoog, current Representative
of the 76th District. We are proud to endorse Andy Skoog for the 76th District. He is the only candidate that supports the middle class and core values of the working men and women in his district. He is the
type of person we need and want representing us. Robert Sheridan, vice president of Teamsters Local Union No. 722, and sent on behalf of that union LaSalle
Voters should look at the candidates To the Editor, As the election is approaching us, there is one race that is important to the Illinois Valley. The Representative race between Andy Skoog and Jerry Long. The voters need to look at the candidates After Mr. Skoog graduated high school, he went to college and graduated from Eastern Illinois University. After graduation, Mr. Skoog came back home and became involved in many good business and civic organizations. Mr. Skoog’s business experience was running two successful business.
Mr. Long’s business experience is renting out a couple of houses. Mr. Long has no experience in any boards or any governmental positions. Mr. Skoog was elected to the Utica board, the LaSalle County Circuit Clerk’s position and was chosen to lead the 76th District. Mr. Skoog is backed by farmers, teachers, carpenters, heavy machine operators, firefighters, plumbers, electricians, policeman, teamsters, prison guards and the NRA. Mr. Long is backed by Mr. Rauner and groups he controls with other
millionaires who don’t live in the 76th District. So the choice is this. Do we elected Mr. Skoog who has good business experience coupled with governmental experience backed by many hard-working people, or do we elected Mr. Long who is backed millionaires from Chicago and beyond? Andy Skoog will do his best to represent the citizens of the 76th District. Andy is who we should vote for! Don Leipold Ottawa
Climbing the Walls Things have sure changed for women and girls since the time when I was born back in 1947. My granddaughters have no idea how fortunate they are. Back in 1947, World War II was over, and rationing had become a thing of the past. Suburbs were being built to enable more young families to achieve the dream of owning their own home. The future was bright once more. However, one thing had not changed. When the men came back from the war, women were no longer needed as much to be part of the workforce as they had been during the war. This meant that most of them had to go back to a male-dominated society. The men were expected to be the bread winners. The women were to stay at home, taking care of the children born during the baby boom. So, as a result, things were getting back to what was considered normal before the war. This meant that schools would continue offering sports programs for the boys, but nothing for the girls. My father was born in 1923; his parents lived on a farm. When he was young, his aunt taught at a country school just down the road from the family farm. His parents and aunt decided that Dad would skip a couple of the primary grades, so he would graduate from the local high school at the age of 15. This would enable him then to help run the family farm with his father several years earlier. Other families had been known to do this too. As a
Tami McCracken Crawley COMMENTARY result, Dad never was able to enjoy participating in high school sports. He was too young to compete with 18-year-old classmates. He always regretted that because he loved sports. Years later, I learned his older sister also graduated at the age of 15 from high school. So now, Dad was back on the family farm after fighting in the war, He had married my mother, and they were expecting their first child in early 1947. It was no secret that Dad wanted a boy. Looking back now, I understand why. I believe it was because he looked forward to years of enjoying sports with his son. The long awaited day finally came. However, it was a daughter born on that cold February morning. I was that little girl. As a result, Dad was very disappointed at the turn of events. I know this because when I was in my early teens, Mom broke the news to me one day when I got home from school. Out of the blue, as I walked into the house, she greeted me with, “You know your dad was so disappointed when you were born.” I was stunned. Then, about a year later, she said the same thing to me again. The second time, I replied that I already knew that because she had told me once
before. To this day, I have no idea what prompted her to tell me how disappointing my birth was. I do know that when Dad was disappointed, that meant Mom must have been disappointed too. The only one happy in that delivery room was probably the doctor. I was probably screaming at the top of my lungs. Things now are completely different. Fathers still want to have sons, but I notice that it is not a desperate wanting. Girls are involved in sports now more than ever. Fathers are devoted to their daughters participating in sports just as much as they are with their sons. I think that is wonderful. My dad taught me how to bat and throw a baseball when I was 8 years old. I realize now that was probably because my brother needed someone to play ball with when Dad was working. I learned from my father to love sports. He was a White Sox fan; I, however, became a Cub fan. Two years after I was born, my father got his much-desired son. A second son was born when I was 7. I had wanted a sister. However, sometimes things have a way of working out better than you think. My younger brother and I have always been close, and years later would marry a wonderful person. She has become the sister I always wanted. Tami McCracken Crawley is a mother of nine and avid quilter living in Henry. She may be reached at tamimccracken@yahoo.com.

That perfect gift for the newlyweds Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past offers a host of options for every couple, every lifestyle By Terri Simon Shaw Media Service
Jyl Morse, owner of Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past, arranges a crystal bowl — one of thousands of items her store stocks that brides and grooms may want to include on their wedding registry.
They’ve decided to get married — he popped the question; she said yes. But before the two are pronounced Mr. and Mrs., there are many things that need to happen. The list can be seemingly endless, overwhelming to say the least. And that’s just for the prospective bride and groom. Those who receive invitations to wedding showers and the actual wedding event have a situation that is uniquely their own. What should they buy the bride and groom? What kind of gift should they give? While many will opt to place money in a card and deliver it to the happy couple on their wedding day, there are still many who want to personalize their gift giving with a beautifully-wrapped gift the couple can treasure for a lifetime — something they can see and lovingly remember the person who gave it.

Registry From Page 9
Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past, located at 513 S. Main St., Princeton, has long been a source for those seeking just the right gift for the soon-to-be husband and wife. Likewise, for just as many years, they have been a trusted source for brides and grooms to set up a registry to help steer gift-givers in the right direction. Jyl Morse, owner of Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past, comes from a long line of people and family members who have made it their priority to assist brides/ grooms and those who want to bestow that special gift to the special couple. The original owners were the La Fontes, who started the business in the 1850s. Anna Hoffman bought the business from them in the early 1900s. Morse’s grandparents, Mable and Joseph Allen Murphey, purchased the store from Hoffman in 1940, and then Morse’s mom and dad, Winnie and Allen Murphey, were asked to come back to Princeton from the state of Oregon to help with the store. In 1984, Morse, who was working for PA Bergners, returned to the family store to learn about the business. The rest, as they say, is history. Morse said Anna Hoffman was the first one to develop a wedding registry — not just in the Princeton store but in the global market. Morse said stores like Hoffman’s used to buy big, wooden barrels of china — 12 place setting, all packaged inside the barrel which had been shipped from Europe. But after the war years, when soldiers began coming home and brides began planning their weddings, Hoffman decided those brides should start registering for items they wanted to have. Hoffman began setting up tables with open stock china — complete place settings, along with complimentary pieces like platters, salt and pepper shakers, serving bowls — so brides were able to come in and actually see what they wanted. Hence, the wedding registry was born. But that was just the beginning ... Morse said Marshall Field used to make frequent stops at the Princeton store. “Marshall Field came through here quite a bit, and he liked what he saw,” said Morse, referring to Hoffman’s wedding registry. “He took the idea of a wedding registry back to Chicago. The concept of a

Registry From Page 10 wedding registry started here; it was all out of Princeton, Illinois.” Today, a wedding registry is still a vital part of Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past, although times have changed throughout the years. Morse said couples are not choosing as formal of items as they once did 20-some years ago, primarily because lifestyles have changed. “(Everything) is much more casual — patterns that you can use for all occasions, breakfast, lunch, dinner,” Morse said. “We do have an occasional bride that wants a formal pattern, and some brides have fun mixing their Polish Pottery stoneware ... Lifestyles are casual; couples are moving around a lot for their jobs. Also, some couples might inherit china from a mom or grandmother.” In years gone by, the most popular china patterns were Noritake White on White designs, and grooms tended to gravitate to blue patterns — Ranier, Tahoe, Blue Hill and Carolyn. Today, the more popular china designs at Hoffman’s are Noritake Colorwaves, Mikasa French Countryside and more everyday patterns. While stoneware is becoming increasingly popular for brides to add to their wedding registries, Morse gave some words of warning about some of the less expensive stoneware from department stores. “The department stores are (getting) stoneware Shaw Media photo/Terri Simon from China where the glazes are not regulated or Ellen Andersen (left) and Jyl Morse have fun with one of the many patterns of china and stoneware the store stocks. safe,” she said. “Noritake, Mikasa have perfected their Morse said brides seem to be choosing more casual patterns today than they did in the past. glazes.

We offer personalized service, and we have so much to choose from. We are definitely able to meet everyone’s prices, plus our wedding registries are online, so families from Washington, D.C., Florida and Tibet can see them. We wrap and deliver gifts to a designated address within Bureau County, and we also ship wedding gifts anywhere.” Couples wishing to set up a wedding registry at Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past can do so from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Special evening or Sunday appointments are available upon request. The telephone number at Hoffman’s is 815-875-1944. Morse said she looks forward to working with couples as well as those looking to buy a gift to help their family/friends celebrate that special day. “When guests are invited to a wedding, they want guidance as to what gifts the couple really needs for their future. Wedding registry is as important now as it was back in the 1930s,” Morse said.
KRAMER’S KITCHEN N’ CATERING
Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past owner Jyl Morse said some brides/grooms are not choosing china patterns for the wedding registry, since they inherited a set of china from their mother or grandmother. If that’s the case, Morse has an entire basement filled with nearly every china pattern ever made, so brides can complete a long-ago china set or continue to add pieces from time to time.

Community Wyatt graduates from fire academy CHAMPAIGN — Denver Wyatt of Hennepin has graduated from the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) Basic Firefighter Academy. Wyatt will serve on the Hennepin Fire Department. He participated in a ceremony conducted at the Institutes’s Champaign campus on Friday, Oct. 14. There were 35 participants from fire departments across Illinois who successfully completed the training. The Basic Firefighter / NFPA Firefighter 1 Academy is a six-week, intense training course. The course is designed to prepare firefighters to develop skills and knowledge necessary for entry-level personnel to become functioning members of a fire company. The rigorous course teaches firefighters basic firefighting skills for single-family dwellings and commercial buildings, as well as rescue techniques. This intense program uses realistic livefire evolutions to encourage students to master basic skills and work safely and efficiently on the fireground. Students participate in live fire evolutions, train in real life scenarios and learn
proper use of fire fighting and rescue equipment. They are also introduced Denver to size-up, Wyatt search techniques and the responsibilities of engine and truck companies. Basic Firefighter Academy is offered by IFSI to assist fire departments in meeting the requirements of the Division of Personnel Standards and Education, Office of the State Fire Marshal. The Basic Firefighter Operations course is also available on-line through IFSI. The Illinois Fire Service Institute is the statutory fire academy for the state of Illinois. In addition to training provided at the Champaign campus, the Institute offers online classes and conducts training throughout the state at Regional Training Centers and local fire stations. The mission of the Illinois Fire Service Institute is to help firefighters do their work through training, education, information and research. For more information about the Institute, call 217-333-3800.

Bureau County Health Department assists with family health SPONSORED BY
By Diane Krieger Spivak The goal of the Bureau County Health Department is to provide the community with effective educational services in order to promote healthy lifestyles and a higher quality of life. The Health Department offers a number of family services including WIC (Women, Infants, Children), Pregnancy Testing, Breast feeding Support, Genetics, Lead Prevention, Breast and Cervical Cancer information and Health Screening. WIC is a food assistance program for women, infants, and children. It helps pregnant women, new mothers, and young children eat well and stay healthy. Those eligible to receive WIC services include: • Women who are pregnant, breast feeding or just had a baby. • Infants and children under 5 years old. • Families with low to medium income. Pregnancy testing is also available. Breast feeding support includes access to a Certified Lactation
Counselor or Peer Counselor through the WIC Program. The Genetics program assesses your family history to see if you are at risk for certain genetic diseases. The Health Department make referrals to other services and offer educational materials about inherited diseases. The Lead Poisoning Program includes lead screening for children and lead abatement. Leaded paint was used in homes built up to 1978 and there are many older homes in Bureau County. This leaded paint can result in subtle but serious health problems for children. Children who live in these older homes, or often spend time in one, should be tested at ages one and two. Lead testing is also required prior to school and for many day care centers. The Health Department also participates in the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, which may be available to women living in Illinois, ages 35-65, without insurance. It includes free breast exams, mammograms and pap smears. Additionally, more than two dozen health screenings are available, at reasonable cost, through the Health Department.
