Weathering the weather 2015 harvest is ahead of last year By Goldie Rapp

news@putnamcountyrecord.com

It seems the Illinois Valley has lucked out this autumn season with dryer-than-normal conditions and warmer temperatures that have lingered well into October. The near-perfect weather conditions have allowed family and friends to enjoy the outdoors just a little longer this year, as many have had plenty of opportunities to take part in the traditional autumn activities that are brought on by the season. The dryer-than-normal conditions have also allowed area farmers to harvest their crops at a much quicker speed this year, compared to last year. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Ser-

vice (NASS), which released its last crop progress report on Monday, Oct. 19, about 85 percent of corn crops have been harvested in the state. That was a much higher percentage compared to last year at this time, when only 42 percent of crops had been harvested. NASS reported the corn condition to be 5 percent very poor; 10 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 43 percent good and 13 percent excellent. As far as soybeans, 85 percent of crops have been harvested in the state. Also, a major increase from 2014 during this time, when only 36 percent of soybeans were harvested. While many farmers continue to finish harvesting their final crops this week, the area is gearing up for a major down-turn in temperatures. According to meteorologist Eric Sorenson of WQAD News Channel 8, parts of the upper Midwest could see its first snowflakes of the season including Duluth, Rhinelander and Marquette, where 1-3 inches of snow

was expected last week. What’s in store this winter? The Weather Channel Professional Division has released its outlook on what the Midwest is expected to experience weather-wise during the winter months, from December 2015 to February 2016. It’s good news for those who dislike the cold weather winter months, as the outlook is calling for warmer than average temperatures in the Midwest, as well as Northeast and West Coast portions of the country. The outlook is calling for cooler than average winter temperatures for the Southern and East Coast portions of the country. Weather experts are saying El Nino is expected to play a large role in the temperatures this winter. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the El Nino is expected to impact the position of the pacific jet stream, therefore influencing the weather and climate patterns.

From the basement to the belly The Putnam County Food Pantry is helping families in need By Dave Cook

GRANVILLE — For the past 27 years, the volunteers of the Putnam County Food Pantry have helped local families in need. Many of the volunteers and board members involved during its inception are still here; and they’re needed more than ever. 2014 saw a record number of Putnam County families benefit from the services provided by the pantry. There were 3,457 people helped, 276 more than the previous year. The president of the food bank, Gayle Reno, wanted her volunteers and those who donate to know how important they are to the cause. “The volunteers are the heroes, we couldn’t do it without them; and the people of Putnam County are so supportive. It’s totally a county project, I don’t even want to try to thank everyone individually because I’m afraid I’ll forget someone and everyone is so wonderful,”

One of the hallmarks of the autumn season is the scent of burning wood drifting through the air. Whether its source is a pile of burning leaves and yard debris, a bonfire or a fireplace lit to take the chill from the night air, safety should be the first and main concern. If not composting yard waste, burning it safely can be accomplished with a few easy steps. Bonfires, campfires and burning debris share many of the same safety concerns. The first is to follow local regulations. Contact your local fire department in advance and ensure you’re complying with Vol. 148 No. 10 Two Sections - 24 Pages

Longtime Putnam County Food Pantry volunteer Jan Schuster helps keep everything orderly in the pantry located in the basement of Granville’s United Church of Christ. Schuster is just one of many volunteers who help make sure the families of Putnam County don’t go hungry in times of need.

Embers of fire safety all state, county and local agency rules. Property owners may be required to obtain a permit in advance following an inspection of the intended burn area. They will also advise you with regard to weather conditions. Weather changes, such as a shift in wind conditions, can unsettle burning debris and spark an uncontrolled fire. Choosing a safe burning location is also important. Select a site away from utility lines, overhanging limbs, structures and vehicles. According to www.smokeybear.com, you’ll need to have a horizontal clearance of twice the height of the debris pile and a vertical clearance of at least three times the height. Heat from fire extends well past the visible flames.

The ground around the site should be surrounded by gravel or dirt for at least 10 feet in all directions. Keep the surrounding area damp during the burn. When using a burn barrel, it should be in good condition and be made of metal. It will need to be well ventilated with three evenly spaced, 3-inch square openings around the rim near ground level. Each vent should be covered by a metal screen. A barrel must also have a metal top screen with a mesh size of a quarter inch or finer to keep sparks from escaping. When burning, layer the different types of debris and stir often being careful of errant sparks.

Trick-or-treat ... rain-or-shine

Serving Putnam County Since 1868

GRANVILLE — A rainy and dreary Halloween couldn’t keep Granville from celebrating a fun and festive day for trick-or-treaters. The village-sponsored event was a success by any measure, especially in spite of the less than desirable weather. “The show must go on, but we’re tough, we’re a farm town,” said village board member Randy Borio. Led by the sheriff and the fire department, the creatively-costumed marched up McCoy Street and ended up under the shelter at Hopkins Park. There they had their photos taken, ate hot dogs and chili, decorated pumpkins and got their first taste of candy before heading out into the village to gather the rest of their yearly bounty.

Reno said. Families are allowed to visit monthly, but the average is five to eight visits a year. “We’ve seen that people don’t come every month, they only come when they need it. It’s not meant to feed people for the whole month. It’s to help fill in the cracks,” Reno said. Those cracks are getting wider however, and there are an increasing number of seniors needing help. “Over the years we’ve gotten so many more, we’re up to almost 70 seniors we’re serving,” said Reno. For the past 10 years, the pantry has been able to assist the home-bound with volunteers making monthly deliveries. During 2014, the pantry made 120 deliveries to those in need. And each donation, no matter how small the person donating thinks it is, has a large and positive impact on the community. “We can always use cash because it goes a long way. We try to provide simple and easy to eat items. Pasta in a can, tuna and canned stews are always needed. We always try to have frozen pizzas available as well, because if a kid comes home from school and is hungry, he can always make a pizza. Sometimes you have to think differently. One time we had gotten a lot of Bisquick because it’s so flexible, but people weren’t taking it. We eventually realized some of the people couldn’t read, or maybe they didn’t have the facilities needed to cook, or they were living in their car. It’s a different world. We’re never judgmental because you never know everything about a person’s situation. What I’ve learned over the years is to keep it simple,” Reno said. Cash donations are used to purchase items from local stores PC Foods and Hennepin Foods, and both stores generously donate as well. The pantry also receives food from the Midwest Food Bank in Bloomington. During the summer, many people donated produce from their gardens. “Pepperidge Farm has been making

weekly deliveries, too. That’s huge, we’ve never had bread before,” Reno said. When buying meat, the pantry focuses on hamburger, hot dogs and bologna, but welcomes other types of donations as well. “Lately we’ve had some deer donations. We leave it up to our clients if they’re interested. We also recently had a young farm boy call and ask us if we could use pork. He butchered a whole pig and gave it to us. I asked him if he realized how many people he was providing for. That’s a huge donation, it was a delicacy,” said Reno. The pantry is located in the basement of Granville’s United Church of Christ and much of the construction for the pantry area and shelves was done by the shop class at Putnam County High School. “We can never thank the church enough for giving us a roof over our heads, and the school was great to work with. It turned out wonderfully for everyone involved,” said Reno. The pantry helps provide other items too. “Shampoos, bar soap, deodorant, razors and any other toiletry or hygiene items are always needed. We never have enough of those types of things,” Reno said. With the holidays fast approaching, the pantry has begun to prepare for its annual Christmas baskets. “We’ve done this for 20 years. When families get their Christmas basket they’ll have enough for their Christmas dinner and a piece of clothing and a toy for every child. That’s coordinated with the Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Granville. They do all of the clothing for the children. Seniors getting a basket need to be older than 65 and will receive food and an item of clothing. The United Church of Granville and the church in Magnolia does the senior items and the Catholic church in Hennepin does either blankets or towels for everyone’s baskets,” said Reno. “The people of Putnam County are so caring, whenever we need something, all I have to do is put the word out, and we’ll have it by the next week. People know where their donations are going and who they’re helping,” Reno said

Fire safety From Page 1

When starting the fire, choose a spot that’s protected from the wind and if you’re camping, at least 15 feet from your tent and gear. Start your fire with small pieces of dry wood; never use fresh branches or cut wood from a tree and avoid soft wood such as pine or cedar which can pop and throw sparks. Store unused wood upwind and well away from the fire and keep a bucket of water and a shovel nearby. Don’t leave the fire unattended and keep children and pets away from it. Do not use flammable liquids to start a fire or burn any pressurized cans, fireworks, or any other improper material. An explosion can cause an uncontrolled fire and serious injury to anyone nearby. Never burn glass, it will not melt away, it only heats up and shatters into dangerous slivers, and aluminum cans don’t burn, they only break into smaller pieces and the dust is harmful to your lungs. It’s illegal to burn plastic, tires and most other waste products not considered yard waste. When you’re ready to extinguish the outdoor fire, allow the wood to burn completely to ash if possible. Use a lot of water and drown all embers, not just the glowing ones. Pour until the hissing stops. Stir the ashes and embers with a shovel and scrape sticks and logs to help remove embers. If you don’t have access to water use dirt. Mix dirt and sand with the embers and keep stirring until everything is cool. Do not bury the fire, it can continue to smolder and could catch roots on fire,eventually traveling to the surface and igniting a wildfire. Remember, if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave. When seeking warmth indoors, there aren’t many things which are more satisfying than sitting in front of a crackling fireplace. They provide a relaxing environment and are an economical source

of heat during those cold days ahead. They must be well maintained though or they will become dangerous. When wood is burned it releases creosote, tar, resin and carbon monoxide. Soft woods have a higher creosote content than hard woods. These by-products collect in the flue liner and will ignite if allowed to build up. Creosote ignites at approximately 450 degrees and can quickly become a 2000 degree blaze. Before lighting a fireplace ensure the draft is open and has adequate airflow by checking for obstructions, such as bird and squirrel nests. Never burn garbage, papers or building scraps. Never overload the fireplace, a fire which is too hot can crack the chimney. Pressure treated wood shouldn’t be used either because of the toxic chemicals they contain. Artificial logs made of wax and sawdust should never be used in wood burning stoves and should only be used in a fireplace one at a time. Combustible materials should be kept at least 36 inches away from the fire. Always use a fire screen or glass doors. There should be a spark shield on top of the chimney as well. The chimney should rise at least two feet higher than the peak of the roof and nearby objects and higher if it’s a flat roof. The National Fire Protection Association recommends fireplaces and chimneys be inspected and cleaned annually by a certified specialist. Never leave a fire unattended and make sure it is completely extinguished before going to sleep. Have functioning smoke and carbon dioxide detectors in your home and keep a specialized chimney fire extinguisher close at hand. A standard ABC extinguisher of adequate size is also recommended. If you think you need to use an extinguisher, call 911 first. Firefighters would rather be called and find a fire has already been extinguished than the alternative, which no one wants. Always err on the side of being safe.

A visit from Kinzinger Congressman Adam Kinzinger recently visited Putnam County Junior High in McNabb.

Madigan calls on feds to preserve rights for families of nursing home residents CHICAGO — Attorney General Lisa Madigan and 15 other Attorneys General urged the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to prohibit pre-dispute arbitration clauses in long-term care facility contracts, saying their use erodes the rights of families and gives them little bargaining power when disputes occur. Madigan and her counterparts from 14 other states and the District of Columbia recommended the stronger consumer protections in comments submitted to CMS, which solicited feedback on whether binding arbitration agreements should be prohibited in longterm care facility contracts. In the comments, the Attorneys General noted that when individuals enter a nursing home or other long-term care facility, those individuals or family members acting on their behalf are often making a significant health care decision under stressful circumstances. Because of that, they are unlikely to be able to anticipate future disputes and make an informed decision about the resolution of such disputes. In many instances, a nursing home resident or family member discovers the existence of a binding arbitration clause in their nursing home contract only after a dispute or tragic event occurs. The clause typically requires that claims against the

nursing home or long-term care facility – even claims involving abuse or neglect – must be brought before a private arbitration provider that is chosen by the facility, prohibiting consumers from filing a lawsuit. Requiring residents and families to sign such clauses upon admission to a nursing home or long-term care facility prevents families from evaluating and deciding how to address specific disputes as they arise. The position of the Attorneys General is consistent with that of the American Arbitration Association, which determined in 2003 that it would not administer healthcare arbitrations between patients and service providers related to medical services, unless all parties agreed to arbitration after the dispute occurred. The use of binding arbitration agreements has other negative consequences for consumers, including lower accountability of the long-term care industry; decreased monetary awards when an arbitrator finds in the consumer’s favor, even in cases of severe negligence or mistreatment; and a reduced incentive for facilities to change unlawful or harmful practices. The comments can be found on Madigan’s website, www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov.

PMH’s Sterile Processing Department earns award PRINCETON — The Sterile Processing Department at Perry Memorial Hospital was recently chosen as one of five winners of Healthmark Health Care Product’s “Pink Power” package in celebration of National Sterile Processing Week which was Oct. 11-17. Each year in October, the American Society for Healthcare Central Service Professionals encourages hospitals to recognize the important role that sterile processing teams play in the supply distribution and processing of surgical instrumentation, as well as patient safety and positive patient outcomes. The theme of this year’s recognition week was “Central Sterile … The Heart of the Hospital.” Healthmark Health Care Products is a company that provides products that aid hospitals in meeting their sterilization, decontamination, storage and distribution needs. These products are used to assist healthcare facilities in the sterilization and delivery of surgical instruments and other life saving medical devices to patients. Healthmark invited Sterile Processing Departments to enter a contest writing a short essay on why their department would be a good choice in receiving the “Pink Power” package in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October. Robin Johnsen, sterile processing technician at PMH, submitted an article honoring Anne Hansen, former PMH sterile processing employee, who lost her battle with breast cancer a few years ago. As a winner, the department received breast cancer awareness scrub caps and a “Heart of the Hospital” sign and engraved plaque.

Peru to host roundtable on heroin

PERU — Peru and the Peru Police will host a roundtable discussion addressing the heroin epidemic that is taking place across the country as well as in the immediate Illinois Valley. The purpose of this forum is to bring together the various stakeholders and community leaders in the LPOS area to have a discussion on what arguably is the most serious drug problem ever faced.

The Editorial Page Observations from the Field of Dreams Sam R Fisher

Trying to be the ant Autumn is over so quickly, a short commercial break before returning to the overly long mini-series of winter. Spring is similar, but there’s a promise of warmth and rebirth rather than the accompanying sense of foreboding doom contained within the increasingly chilly winds of the year’s later months. Summer is basically the time you have to accomplish Dave tasks before the Cook next winter’s arrival. Everyone has COMMENTARY their list of projects and repairs, a list which is always evolving and growing. I try to never let mine get too long. It’s a constant juggling act of trying to acquire all the needed materials with a budget which is never large enough (insert political joke here) and the time in which to use them. There are only so many hours in the day, and weather is often a factor as well. Some tasks can be put off, hopefully being taken care of before things get much worse, and some jobs jump immediately to the top of the list. Water spraying freely in your basement will grab your attention far quicker than a shaggy lawn ever will. I try to be one like one of Aesop’s ants, but the grasshopper in me can be hard to resist. I think there needs to be a balance. I try to live by the practice of stopping and smelling the roses, but if I can accomplish even a little bit of work every day, my efforts begin to reveal themselves before long. The list will never be completed ... ever, so I may as well sit in the shade, relax and enjoy the beauty of the day with the rest of the grasshoppers when I can. Life is short. Besides, I can use those pleasurable moments to contemplate how I’d need to add a few zeros to my bank balance if I was to purchase all the needed items to finish my list with one trip to the hardware store. It seems as though my household is only allowed to have so many things in good condition at any one time. It’s a theory which has strong evidence to back it up, and it can make me worry about checking off those simple items on the list. Repairing that tiny leak in the O-ring of my kitchen faucet may result in the stove falling apart. Buying a new microwave? Hello, faulty light switch. There are also those things on the list which can avalanche into a splitting headache. You’re jinxing yourself the second you speak out loud of how cheap, quick and easy the upcoming project will be. Something will break; you’ll realize you don’t have the needed tool; a part will be the wrong one; or you’ll discover mid-repair there’s a larger underlying issue. At best, it will only be another trip to the store. And while certainly not the worst, you may have to find a way to live without the thing being repaired until new parts or tools are obtained. The worst is having a small repair turn into a major one requiring the work of professionals. Remember, keep your thoughts of things being easy hidden. Home repair shows tend to make things look quick and effortless. They also don’t account for the average work week, the usual errands always needing to done, laundry, cooking, routine cleaning, surprise cleaning, inclement weather or the fact most of us don’t have work crews with us or the sponsorship of a major company. Think about how great it would be if we could edit our home repairs and DIY projects to remove the actual work. I’d be quite productive if I could stand in my living room, talk for a few minutes about the process of resurfacing my wood floors and the color of stain I’ll be using, leave for a few minutes and then return to a beautifully refinished floor. I’m never fully satisfied by the time we reach this page of the calendar, but I’m usually content enough if I’ve accomplished at least a few important tasks during the summer. We now have to find and prepare all of our sweaters, coats and scarves or perhaps buy new thermals, gloves, socks and boots. Will the snow blower start, or is the shovel in decent shape? Making sure all of winter’s needed items are ready can be a bit of a gamble. How long to wait before taking care of these things? Will I be ready when those first flakes begin to fall? I’m not sure if it will be the ant or the grasshopper who will answer that question for me, but winter’s coming whether we’re ready or not.

The Putnam County Community Center hosted a bus trip to Chicago on Sept. 25 to Wrigley Field on a warm and sunny day. The Cubs played the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sherry Boedigheimer, Tami Green and Richard Gimbal were the great hosts. I tried to take a picture of our group sitting together in the stands, but the light coming in behind them made it impossible. The Cubs lost to the Pirates 3-2. The Cubs were hoping to clinch the wild card game, but the Pirates’ Gerrit Cole beat Jon Lester. I bought a base that was used in an earlier game at Wrigley Field and will put it at first base on my Field of Dreams here in Granville. I enjoyed the bus ride, especially on Lake Shore Drive where we could see the sailboats on Lake Michigan. It was also fun to see beautiful Wrigley Field with my two sons, Kim and Scott, and with all my friends from the area. ••• Question: How many Illinois residents left the state of Illinois in 2014, and how much taxpayers’ money did they take with them? Answer at the end of this column. ••• My granddaughter who works for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, associate director of development and College of Applied Health Sciences, was in Durham, N.C., in Tyler’s Tap Room, a fancy restaurant recently. She was entertaining a couple who had graduated from the U of I. They noticed two couples coming into the restaurant — one man had a U of I cap on. Krista excused herself and told the couple she had to find out who they were. She went over to their

Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY table and introduced herself. There, she met Harry and Ellen Park from Streator, Ill., who were in Durham visiting Ellen’s sister and husband. At first, she did not realize who they were, and that they knew her family so well. Harry grew up in rural Magnolia and rode with Krista’s mother on the school bus to Putnam County High School when Harry was a stand-out basketball player, and Debbie was a cheerleader. She found out that Harry and Ellen are close friends to her grandfather and grandmother, Jeanne. Krista called me that night from her hotel room at 9:30 p.m. all excited about meeting Harry and Ellen. She told me it’s a small world and divine intervention. Then my granddaughter Katie Alleman told me she had talked to my grandson, Greg, and his wife, Ann, who teaches at Dodgeville High School in Wisconsin. Ann told her that Julie Massino from Hennepin is a student teacher in her classroom. Julie is attending Wisconsin Platteville University. Ann was surprised that Julie was from Putnam County, same as Greg. What a small world we live in sometimes. I remember several years ago when Jeanne and our family were vacationing in Yellowstone Park. We watched Old Faithful geyser erupt. I had a Polaroid camera and walked over to discard the waste paper in a garbage can.

Removing ‘felon’ label; is George Ryan right? Ex-Gov. George Ryan wants the “felon” tag to be removed from ex-convicts. This felon thinks he has a point, but we don’t agree. Earlier this month, former Gov. George Ryan gave a speech to a suburban Chicago group whose goal is to reduce recidivism in Illinois. Ryan, 81, a Kankakee Republican who was imprisoned for five years after his 2006 political corruption conviction, made headlines with what he had to say about how released felons should be regarded by society. The longtime politician said it was important “to remove this tag of ‘felon’ from those of us who’ve served their time.” He continued, “They served their time; they paid their penalty; and that tag ought to be removed by law.” Ryan found a sympathetic audi-

ence in the members of Waukegan Township’s Coalition to Reduce Recidivism. Indeed, society expects ex-offenders to reintegrate by going straight and getting jobs. Do we make it unnecessarily hard for them to do so when labeling them felons? In other words, is Ryan right? This high-profile felon might think he has a point, but we don’t agree. We believe employers have a right, and a duty, to know the criminal background, if any exists, of job applicants. What’s past is prologue, after all. It should be up to felons to prove that their criminal background – their felony or felonies – is not the

issue for prospective employers to consider, but rather their skills, background and work record. As far as changing the law is concerned, how could the state make it illegal to no longer refer to someone for what he or she is – a felon? After George Ryan served the time for his crimes, we pointed out that one way he could further atone for his corruption conviction would be to advocate for political and governmental reform to strike out at Illinois’ notorious culture of corruption, of which Ryan was a part. That opportunity still exists. Regarding his views on felons and recidivism, however, Ryan’s stance appears to be more self-serving than public minded. Putnam County Record

Opening day duck season a success Opening day for duck season has now come and gone. It was a beautiful day. I was fortunate enough to have Anthony Cain to go with me as a pusher and caller. I wasn’t very lucky in the draw for blinds, but it ended up that we got a good one. After we got the decoys out and got into the blind, there was plenty of action. The bad thing was that I missed my first five shots. I was really embarrassed. Then I settled down and found my range. Some mallards swung into the blocks and I finally dropped one. Then a woodie. And then some more mallards. I was shooting better now and got a couple more mallards. By 11 a.m., I needed one more duck to fill my limit and it had to be a green head. We looked up at Goose Pond and here came a large flock of pintails. Anthony called them and they came right toward us. I waited till they got in over the decoys and lo and behold, the lead duck was a green head. I pulled up and dropped him. What a great finish to a wonderful day. The other members of the club did well also. I don’t know what the final count was, but it turned out to be one of our finest opening day shoots. I am looking forward to Friday when I will take my grandson out for his first hunt. • It was also opening day for the inland trout season at Hennepin Canal Parkway. Most of the fishermen limited out with their trout. This is a great event sponsored by the DNR. Taking home five trout is always a thrill. • Coming up soon will be the Ducks Unlimited annual banquet. Mark your calendars for Nov. 14 and get your reservation in early. There is always a great amount of outdoor prizes given away that evening. I will fill you in on the info for the banquet in my next column. In the meantime, get out and see some of the beautiful colors of trees in Bureau County this year. It is always a great time of the year. SVWC members should get their reservations in now for their annual tournament. Get your reservation in before Nov. 20.

Parenting can be exhausting. With parents finding themselves in a position to micro-manage the day-to-day tasks of their children, stress in homes increases dramatically. What if we could help children, even very young children, to grow in independence, manage their own responsibilities, help with household chores and willingly offer help to those around them? What if parents could be released from the managing of every little thing and find them-

selves with the time and energy to be the parents they always hoped they would be? This talk will teach listeners to do all of this … and more. Moms with children of all ages are invited to the Henry Presbyterian Church, located at 511 Wirt St. in Henry, for this informative evening hosted by its Moms Next group. To learn more about the guest speaker, visit her website at www. nadiaswearingen-friesen.com.

Putnam County High School students participate in Natural Helpers training GRANVILLE — Natural Helpers is a nationwide peer assistance program. Natural Helpers has been active at Putnam County High School for the past eight years. During freshman English class, students are asked to list three students in their grade who they would feel comfortable talking to if they had a problem. The names are tallied, and the top seven boys and girls are approached to see if they would be interested in becoming a Natural Helper. Once a student becomes a Natural Helper, they remain a part of the group until graduation. On Oct. 21-23, the Putnam County High School Natural Helpers attended a three-day training session at Great Oaks Camp in Lacon. The first day consisted of team building exercises led by the camp staff that directly relate back to the skills needed to be a Natural Helper. Putnam County schools guidance counselor Steve Johnson led the students through several large and small group training exercises in order to learn helping skills. This skill set includes gaining accurate information about problem solving, active listening skills, mental health and suicide awareness and when to seek outside adult help. Just as important, they begin to form a cohesive group from what was a collection of diverse individuals. PC social worker Tricia Both also assists in the training. Among the topics addressed during the retreat training include: taking care of yourself; working as a team;

Master Gardeners/Naturalists make plans for 2016 University of Illinois Extension’s Master Gardener and Master Naturalist volunteers from Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall and Putnam counties convened at Illinois Valley Community College on Oct. 13 to discuss community service project work, continuing education opportunities and to plan special event programs for spring 2016. “We have a very knowledgeable and dedicated group of volunteers who are experts in their field. Both the Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists have more than 60 hours of in-depth training and must meet annual continuing education requirements to maintain their status,” said Jill Guynn, Extension county director. “These volunteers work throughout the year in communities across Extension’s four-county service area meeting a variety of local needs including teaching both youth and adults how to grow and utilize fresh, healthy foods, donating vegetables and produce to local food pantries, providing public presentations to community groups and school classrooms, working on city beautification projects, planting trees, helping our public lands to control invasive species, teaching youth groups about protecting our environment and much more. All information is unbiased and research-based and for public benefit. Approved projects are determined locally, based on needs.” Information from the state Master Gardener Program coordinator and the state Master Naturalist

Program coordinator was shared by Guynn covering reporting of community service hours, continuing education, required training and annual agreement forms. Bonnie Burkman covered fund information, insurance coverage and grant opportunities for youth programs. Barb Krug reviewed continuing education at local and state programs and provided a demonstration of how to enter hours into the online system. Barb Dahlbach, Marshall-Putnam Master Gardener, presented information to the group of 50 on the Healthy Gardening Project she initiated and expanded with the help of 10 other Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists to reach and serve 469 families in Marshall and Putnam counties in 2015. Dahlbach said, “Give a man a vegetable and feed him for a day; teach a man to garden and feed him for life.” This group was selected by the Illinois Master Gardener Program for the State Teamwork Award at the 2015 Illinois Master Gardener Conference in O’Fallon in September. Deb Mysker, who is both a Master Gardener and a Master Naturalist, led the discussion on the 2016 spring garden seminar. The group decided to once again plan and organize the large-scale Saturday conference with IVCC on March 12. “Last year’s new approach, offering both horticulture topics and natural resource and conservation topics, was successful in reaching the interests and needs of many people, and it would

The regional meeting was held at IVCC to plan for community service projects, continuing education requirements and upcoming educational programs including the 2016 Spring Garden Seminar which will be held at IVCC on March 12. be good to continue that theme this year as well,” Mysker said. A committee was formed to work on the plans and details. Susan Glassman, nutrition and wellness educator for Extension, talked about joint programming at farmers markets starting this spring. “I provided a program on making salsa at the Cornerstone Community Wellness in Sheffield and the Sheffield Farmer’s Market, along with Chris Isaacson, Bureau County Master Gardener. Chris talked about growing tomatoes, and community members in the class sampled the salsa and then

went out and bought all of the tomatoes.” A number of the Master Gardeners signed up to host programs with Glassman in their local communities this coming spring. Glassman also demonstrated how to prepare a simple spaghetti squash alfredo skillet recipe. According to Glassman, “Knowing how to prepare fresh produce for your family helps everyone eat healthier, and they learn to enjoy foods that are good for them. Youth especially, need encouragement in eating vegetables. Extension provides unbiased, research-based information and educa-

tion to improve your nutrition and lifestyle practices. Extension’s focus is on helping you explore the relationship between the foods we eat and the prevention/management of chronic diseases benefiting you and your family.” John McKee, Master Naturalist, talked about a potential new group for the area, “Illinois Valley Naturalists.” He encouraged fellow volunteers, “We need to continue the work we do and reach out to younger audiences who want to get involved in nature and the environment. I would like to see a new group working with us that can expand our

reach.” Master Naturalists work with many organizations and groups to educate and assist in maintaining and enhancing our area’s natural resources. The Master Gardener and Master Naturalist volunteers will continue to meet on a regular basis in local Extension offices and will meet again as the four-county group in early 2016 to finalize plans for the spring garden seminar and participate in a continuing education program.

Ashlyn Haage reports on her trip to the U.S. Air Force Academy Haage was the only representative from Putnam County High School among the 300 high school students in her group selected to participate in the academy’s summer program

By Ron Bluemer, Granville American Legion Post 180 Special to the PCR

At its October meeting, the Granville American Legion Post 180 heard about the activities of Ashlyn Haage, who spent time this summer on the campus of the U.S. Air Force Academy. After learning she had applied for one of the limited spots for this unique opportunity, the Granville Post had offered to fund some of the expenses involved in the trip to Colorado Springs. Haage is the daughter of Bryan and Tracie Haage and granddaughter of Bill Haage of Granville. She was the only representative from Putnam County High School among the 300 high school students in her group selected to participate in the academy’s summer program. The PC senior flew from Chicago’s O’Hare airport to Colorado Springs; this was her first flight traveling alone. As in military basic training, the young people in Haage’s group were quickly indoctrinated into the military lifestyle. It started with a 5 a.m. wake up call to march from their dorm to the mess hall. During their first day, the academy leaders were very strict, but later they were

According to Haage, it was like they were in basic training. Within an hour, they learned to march just like the cadets at the academy. After that, the sessions were more relaxed. The students were allowed to walk to the different buildings rather than being marched by cadets to each activity. Their first two days were filled with classroom instruction under the

direction of senior cadets. Among the topics they studied were military protocol, chemistry and food and weapons, weather, rockets and missiles. The Granville legionnaires were interested in the quality of the food being served at the military academy. She said the academy food was better than that served at her high school. The students wore the USAFA-issued polo shirts

Toward the end of the week, the group was more involved with team-building activities. During the physical activities, the students wore USAFA active wear consisting of blue shorts and T-shirts. The last day of the camp, the students were allowed

to walk around to see more of the campus, but they were never alone and always walked in groups. She made a scrapbook with photos of their activities and the academy grounds to share with the legionnaires at the October meeting. She said she was amazed at the size of the campus and made many friends among the

300 boys and girls in her group. The Air Force Academy does not offer a major in their college curriculum that she was checking on so it is unlikely she will be applying for entry to the academy next fall. Instead she said she intends to attend Illinois College in Jacksonville, Ill., and major in biochemistry.
