Defining a nuisance Hennepin Village to address fences, grass clippings and property maintenance BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN — Though the village of Hennepin has repeatedly reminded residents not to blow grass clippings onto streets and sidewalks, the issue remains. However, steps are now being taken by the board to officially define this act as a nuisance. During the June 21 meeting, board members discussed upcoming changes to the village code which will provide definitions of nuisances for miscellaneous

problems including grass clippings, fencing and general property upkeep. The changes will also address enforcement procedures and penalties. A public hearing will be held Wednesday, July 12, concerning the ordinance changes. The hearing will cover fencing materials, uniformity, placement, maintenance and homeowner responsibilities. The village also appointed Tim Pyszka as the new property maintenance officer.

Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments collaborate for successful first year BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — The deeper the state goes as it swirls into financial disaster, the more counties and communities are working together to make the most of limited resources. The collaboration between area health departments has shown there are also other benefits. During the most recent Putnam County Board meeting, public health administrator Diana Rawlings presented a review of how the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County Health Departments are working together. “Bureau, Putnam and Marshall County have separate certified health departments and we’ve created a collaboration. The biggest benefit is it allows us to share resources and staffing, while offering more programs,” Rawlings said. She said this is currently the only three-county example of a certified health department collaboration in the state and that they’re also covering the largest rural geographical area. “We started the year with possible lead paint exposure from an elementary school in Marshall County. The department responded to concerns by holding a free lead testing clinic for more than 200 children and school employ-

ees,” Rawlings said. The departments also published the second edition of their “Family Connections” magazine which included locally written articles about raising healthy families and also featured a showcase of work by area photographers. “The USDA farmer’s market promotion wrapped up with several farm crawls and a wonderful farm-to-table dinner. A few markets were able to add EBT machines and can now accept public aid,” Rawlings said. A grant was received to help provide Narcan, the medicine which reverses the effects of opioids. Every law enforcement officer in the three-county area will now have a chance of helping someone recover during an opioid overdose. Perry Memorial Hospital also partnered in this endeavor and helped provide the necessary training. In Marshall County, flu shot clinics were able to be held in different communities for the first time. Rawlings reported 9,146 people were served through the WIC program and that more than $420,000 in food was purchased in local grocery stores. The three departments have been able to begin free screenings for HIV and Hepatitis C. “We also held our first emergency response exercise for all

three counties at the same time,” Rawlings said. The department’s environmental health staff trained more than 120 food handlers and conducted more than 775 inspections. “The Illinois Liquor Commission also asked us to pilot a program and conduct liquor control inspections. The pilot was successful and it’s been rolled out to several other health departments across the state,” Rawlings reported. The department worked with conservation police when an unusually high number of owls were submitted for West Nile Virus testing. Although there have been many successes during this new collaboration, there are still challenges ahead. “Learning to work together in the best way takes time and we’re excited to continue. Integrating three health departments isn’t easy and while data shows the issues people in each county face are similar, each county also has unique needs. Our goal is to remain economically responsible while still providing public health services. This is challenging given the current state budget issues,” Rawlings explained. She said the health boards of the three counties value innovation and a community health needs assessment for each county

was recently completed. Community members working with the departments identified areas of concern. “We’ll continue to work on access to care, access to healthy foods, healthy relationships and substance misuse prevention. This assessment will guide us in programming and outreach over the next five years,” Rawlings said. Some of the new programs which have launched, or will soon launch, include a substance misuse prevention coalition in Marshall County; mental health counselling in Putnam County; weekly low-cost blood testing clinics Putnam and Marshall counties; and a program in Bureau County called “Safe Passages.” “Safe Passages allows anyone with an addiction to come into the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, the Princeton Police Department or the Spring Valley Police Department to receive help getting into treatment. For more information on the Bureau, Putnam and Marshall Health Departments, visit their Facebook page, or visit www. bchealthdepartment.org for Bureau and Putnam County information and www.marshallcountyhealth.org for Marshall County information. A cohesive website to encompass all the information of the three departments is currently under development.

POLITICS

Staying involved: BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com Elections have winners, and the same elections have losers. While local boards are welcoming their newest members, some of the candidates who lost their bids for office are promising to stay involved and use the lessons learned to inspire others like them — the young, enthusiastic, yet somewhat inexperienced political hopeful. Princeton’s Alexander Hall, 20, and Granville’s Shelby Osborne, 23, are two young local citizens who, despite their losses, are promising to stay involved with work to improve their hometown communities. Hall, who will soon be graduating from Illinois Valley Community College, ran for a position on the Princeton Park District Board. Osborne, an IVCC graduate and a preschool teacher at Zearing Child Enrichment Center, ran for a seat on the Granville Village Board. “My experience as a candidate was fantastic. I was able to meet so many amazing members of the community, and everyone I talked with was genuinely interested in the various topics being discussed,” Hall said of his first venture into politics. Osborne, who bought her

first home a couple of years ago, made her decision to become involved in her community after finishing school. “I love Putnam County and Granville, in general, and know I want to have a life here, so it’s important to invest my time into the community,” she said. She began asking questions about what she could do to get involved, and the upcoming election was suggested. “That was definitely something I felt was valuable and something I could do. I also hoped I could set an example for other young people within Granville and the surrounding towns,” Osborne said. Although her first turn as a political candidate was somewhat intimidating and nerve-wracking because she felt her age would cause people to assume she had no ability to benefit the village, she received inspiring support from throughout Granville. “I had so many people say they’re happy to see a young person getting involved because most don’t seem to care, but I don’t believe this to be true. I think the ones who want to get involved don’t even know where to start,” Osborne said. She quickly realized the

Young candidates learn from election and hope to set an example for others challenges involved in becoming a well-informed candidate. She talked to as many residents as possible, researched the issues and learned what was important to her hometown. “Overall the experience opened my eyes to what it takes to keep a town up and running. It also helped me see it was important for me to run because had I not, I wouldn’t have known where to go to find out what happens in the town I live in,” she explained. Hall is committed to staying involved with helping to improve Princeton in any way he can. “I definitely plan on staying involved with the community. Whether that be going out and helping with a community project, getting involved with the local government, or simply helping out with my neighbors,” he said. Like Hall, Osborne is also devoted to helping improve her community. “I plan to go to board meetings and will try to bring people with me. I’m already out and about in the community and shop locally when I can, go to town events, and stay as updated in the local news as possible,” she said. Would they do it again? Osborne said she “absolutely” plans on running for vil-

lage trustee again, although there are no other positions in which she’s currently interested. Hall also saw a possible future for himself in local politics. “I’d consider running again. I wouldn’t be opposed to running for other positions, as long as I feel I’m competent and qualified enough to run,” Hall said. When asked to share advice with other youthful citizens who may be considering an entrance into local politics, Osborne said avoiding discouragement is important. “Though it’s intimidating, it’s possible. Our towns need the young community to be involved because someday we won’t be the “young community” anymore. It’s important to be aware and to understand how our communities are ran, where the money goes, what the priorities are, and why. It’s also important to voice our opinions because the decisions made within our towns affect us,” Osborne said. Hall was equally encouraging to those thinking about following his example, saying, “Don’t be afraid of defeat, and don’t give up. Instead, learn from your defeats and use what you learned to help you succeed.”

Tri-DENT agents arrest couple on drug charges PERU — An Iowa man and Ohio, Ill., woman were taken into custody by Tri-DENT agents and Peru Police Special Investigative Unit (SIU) following a controlled buy/bust operation held Monday, June 12, in the 700 block of Fulton Street in Peru. Tri-DENT agents and Peru SIU conducted the controlled purchase at 5:45 p.m. with less than one gram of purported methamphetamine from Gary D. Smith, 24, of 1623 150th St., Lost Nation, Iowa.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

NCI develops new website Marketing the region for new jobs reached a critical new milestone with the debut of the new North Central Illinois Economic Development Corporation (NCI) website, www. NorthCentralIllinois.org. Promoting “Where Eagles Fly – Business Profits Soar,” the new professionally-designed website went live two weeks ago and is totally focused on the needs and wants of the business investor. The website makes sure that business prospects know “WHERE we are,” “WHAT opportunities exist in the region, and “WHO to contact for assistance.” NCI is only 8 months old and is the only organization aggressively marketing locational advantages of Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties for new business investment, new jobs, and new tax revenue. This website provides for effective marketing to thousands of executives,

prospects, consultants, developers, and brokers. It is a major part of a continuing campaign that includes target advertising, digital marketing, personal visits, marketing events, cooperative marketing with allies, trade shows, and mission trips. After reviewing proposals from experienced professional economic development website companies throughout the nation, the NCI Board contracted with web designer Accrisoft from North Carolina. This company’s extensive

portfolio includes Minneapolis, Charlotte, Oklahoma City, Palm Beach, Southwest Michigan, Corpus Christi and the International Economic Development Council. With the objective to meet the demands of business investors, the website provides comprehensive information on industrial real estate, site selection data standards, demographics, community data, incentives and economic development services. The site is also mobile friendly. Highlights of the website include an interactive

data map of North Central Illinois, a searchable database of full-service industrial sites and available buildings, a link to the state database, and quick access to comprehensive demographics and business data. “Everything we do must demonstrate that industrial, technology and office businesses will make more profits in North Central Illinois,” said Ivan Baker, NCI president. “The website is professionally meeting the needs of business prospects,” said Jim Riley, NCI chairman. “It sets us apart and gives our new marketing effort the necessary kick start to compete globally.”

The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operations. Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel, and garbage and refuse disposal Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above. At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks. All inspection reports are a matter of public

record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

J.T. graduated from Hopkins Township High School in Granville in 1945, where he had been active in band and lettered in baseball, basketball and track. On Jan. 16, 1949, he married his high school sweetheart, Shirley Mae Hawthorne, at the First Congregational Church in Granville. They divorced after almost 40 years of marriage. He married Frances Ralston of Rock Island on May 12, 1990, at the Disciples of Christ Christian Church in Rock Island. They both survive him. He is also survived by his son, James Edward Barnes of Granville; his daughter, Priscilla Sue (Trent) Tevis of Granville; his grandson, Ethan (Julie) Tevis, and a great-granddaughter, Lily Mae, of Bloomington; his granddaughter, Cheryl (Dustin) Olson of Lakewood, Colo.; and a cousin, Phyllis Batson of Aledo.

He spent the next 20 years in outside sales for several different farm machinery distributors and manufacturers — culminating as national sales manager for Westgo Industries of Fargo, N.D. For over 20 years he sold and serviced scooters and other equipment for those with mobility concerns for Active Mobility, Inc. of Moline and then at DonWes Market in Donna, Texas, after he and Fran moved from Moline to Mission, Texas, in semi-retirement. As a young man, he was an IHSA official in basketball and track and field. He played in a local men’s softball league and a mixed bowling league.

PERSPECTIVE

Wednesday, June 28, 2017 • Putnam County Record / putnamcountyrecord.com

Those little things really do mean a lot I pulled up to a four-way stop the other day. I arrived at the stop sign about the time a vehicle to my left came to a stop as well. I looked at the lady behind the wheel, and I motioned her to go ahead. Not a big deal, really. But then the lady did something as she progressed through the intersection. She waved — a simple gesture to thank me for letting her go first. I waved back and proceeded through the intersection. While that simple wave of that stranger’s hand wasn’t monumental, it did make me smile. And now, a couple weeks later, I still remember the gesture. Funny how something so little, so simple, stuck with me. You’re probably thinking ... “Wow, it doesn’t take much to impress her!” While that statement is true, I think the reason

that wave of a hand hit me ... and stayed with me ... is that it doesn’t happen very often anymore. A wave of a hand, allowing someone to go ahead — whether at the stop sign or in line at the grocery, a handwritten thank you note, a telephone to call to just say hi and that you’re thinking of someone ... I could go on and on. Sadly, I see those kind gestures disappearing from our lives. That’s troubling, to say the least. I know we all live in difficult times. We’d probably be hard-pressed to actually find someone who isn’t fighting some kind of a battle in their own lives. That fact alone probably contributes to the idea of those little things like a wave of the hand or a phone call being kicked to the curb. However, I contend those battles are why

To the Editor, Of the three time bombs of Garabandal (the warning, the great miracle and the chastisement), Conchita stated the warning will be a correction of the conscience of all the people in the world. It could be a possible purification of everyone’s’s soul, based on each person’s action regarding his conscience Because of this, my website – Grabandal2017.com — has changed, and I have added to it. In a message from the Immaculate Heart of Mary to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, she said the Holy Spirit will come to establish the glorious reign of Christ; He will open the doors of hearts and illuminate all consciences. It will be “like a judgment in miniature,” which will open the door of your heart to receive the great gift of Divine Mercy. The warning (the second Pentecost) will be where God will send the Holy Spirit to “every person on earth” like he did to the Apostles at the (first Pentecost). The Holy Spirit will tell sinners, the good they haven’t done and the evil things they have done, in order to be saved. Isn’t it strange the 2000 years ago those 11 apostles believed in Jesus Christ so much that all but one was martyred — St. John. Today, even after reading the Bible and learning what those 11 apostles did to Christianize the world, many, many have gone astray and have lost the importance of what Jesus said people should do to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Like sheep, they have lost the sense of sin and their belief in Christianity, and now must return to the Shepherd for salvation. Just look at what is

Today lots and lots of people, secular and religious, are on the road to perdition and no longer believe in Jesus Christ. And in order to right these dire, dreadful, consequences that exist, may God bless America by invoking the second Pentecost in order to save the world. If this is done it will support our churches, communities and country. However, I’m perplexed and believe the warning may not happen because it gives those who are alive today the ability to save their souls, by illuminating and or correcting one’s conscience. And, it would not be fair to those people, from earlier times, not to be given the warning that we are to receive.

Terri Simon we need to embrace — actually hold on for dear life — to those little things that speak simply of just being nice. A wave of the hand when someone lets you go first at an intersection, someone lets you back out of a parking space, someone slows down and lets you cross the street in front of their vehicle ... well, it used to be an automatic gesture. You wave to the person to say thanks. Unfortunately, I seldom see that happening nowadays. I’m not sure why. Why do you think? Do we just expect people to be kind? Do we

not feel the need to acknowledge kindness anymore? Are we so caught up in our own worlds that a gesture of kindness doesn’t deserve at least a wave of our hand? Come on. How difficult could it be? You raise your arm and wave. I get aggravated sometimes when I make the effort to be kind to a stranger, and it’s not acknowledged. It shouldn’t make me so crazy. After all, I was taught many, many years ago to be kind, and to do so without any expectations attached. For some reason, though, a person’s inability to just utter a simple “Thanks” ... well, it just bothers me. I guess I need to get over it. I don’t really know what kind of point I’m trying to make here ... perhaps I’m just rambling to anyone who might listen (or

read) today. This isn’t really that big of a deal ... which is why I think it gets under my skin so badly. Many times, we can’t do anything about the big things ... maybe that’s why those little things mean so much to me. I know ... I know ... I know ... I’ve been told I’m a dreamer more times than I can count, which translates to I’m never going to make the world a kinder place with my weekly rant on Page 2 of the BCR. I know that. But still there’s that part of me that wants to try. I just shouldn’t be so difficult to be kind. I wonder what would happen if we all tried a bit harder every day to do so. The results could surprise us ...

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Invoking the second Pentecost

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

nother school year has come and gone — it all goes by so rapidly. Grandson No. 1, Jon, will be entering junior high next school year. Jon — with his ready smile and his love of life. That time has definitely sped by like lightning. Grandson No. 2, Brady, had a great year at school, and he will already be in third grade next year. He is so smart, so clever and so quick with an 8-year old’s wit. And then there is Cole, Grandson No. 3. Cole finished his first year of preschool this year. He is 4 and will be in preschool again next year. The changes he made during this first year of “school” were many. I have gained a real appreciation for the individuals who are in charge of preschool classrooms. Teaching and supervising one group of 19 to 20, 3, 4 and 5 year olds for the morning and then another group of the same age group in the afternoon, I would think, could be a daunting task. The preschool teacher and helpers I came in contact with this year always seemed to have a smile on their face and truly cared about their little charges. My hat definitely comes off for them. Cole’s preschool had a pretty simple to understand disciplinary approach for these young preschoolers. It was a green, yellow and red program. By that I mean, every student started off on a green light for the day. If the student followed directions, did what was asked, etc. the student stayed on “green.” Moving to yellow

COMMENTARY Nita Wyatt meant the student didn’t do some of the things asked of them or talked too much during class. Landing on red, I presume meant the child was disruptive and out-of-control. Green, yellow and red. Simple for a preschooler to understand. Most days, as my husband or I picked Cole up from school, we would ask him if he stayed on green for the day. Most times he would say yes. Occasionally, he would say the whole class got moved to yellow. Oops, a difficult day for the preschool teacher. Thankfully, we never experienced red. When I think about this simple manner of behavior control, I wonder what it would be like if we all lived our lives on the green, yellow, red scale? We all start the day on green. Green for go — go to work, go to school, go to wherever it is you need to be. Do your job; take care of your home; take care of your family; do your homework; do what you need to do. Be kind to those you meet; play fair; no cheating; no bullying; no hurting others. If you live your life that way, you are on green forever. If you don’t go do your job — whatever that may be, you don’t care for your family, you lie, you cheat, you are a bully, you defi-

nitely move to yellow. Not sure what kind of penalty there would be, but in my perfect world, just the idea that you were on “yellow” would be enough. I know, I know, I am making up my own dream world — it works in preschool. What moves you to red? All the crimes we read in the newspapers and all the things we hear on television. The horrendous murders of innocent people, the crimes that are committed against children, the injustice suffered by many. Those will all move you to red. Once again, I’m not sure what the penalty would be at the red zone, probably as it is today — incarceration. It would be a perfect world if your own conscience would be enough to penalize you for your “red” activities. My dream world is far-fetched for sure. I would love to live in my make believe green, yellow and red world. I like to think I live my life in the green but I think my green slips to the pale side at the minimum and possibly into the yellow on occasion. I try. I try to stay in the green, but it’s not always easy. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me. I hate to admit that, but it is true. I heard a preschooler’s mother say to her young son one day toward the end of the school year, “Could we try to stay in the green today?” A good goal to live by, don’t you think?

Festival 56 presents Shakespeare in the Park

Josephine Needs receives scholarship

PRINCETON — When Festival 56 presents its summer production of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors,” audiences at Soldiers and Sailors Park in Princeton will gather to watch and listen while they enjoy drinks and snacks — much like 17th-century audiences. Shakespeare in the Park performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Sundays throughout July, with an opening matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 2. This year’s production, “The Comedy of Errors,” is one of Shakespeare’s early plays and is pure farce, beginning and unraveling with a set of coincidences, mistaken identities, and possible dire consequences. As the play begins, Egeon begs for clemency on the hostile island Ephesus by telling his story. He is searching for a son and his servant, each one a twin, who were in turn searching for their twin brothers lost in a shipwreck three decades earlier. Unknown to them, the other lost twins — son and servant — had landed on that very island and have been living there ever since. Confusion abounds as the citizens of Ephesus mistake the newcomers for their longtime neighbors, spouses, and lovers. Seventeenth-century theatergoers loved plays so much that they attended by the thousands, all over London, but mostly at the famous Globe Theatre. Plays were their wide-screen cinema, their NBA finals, their reality TV. Like people today, Elizabethans loved a farcical comedy or a gory drama. But unlike modern audiences, they felt free to hiss, groan, shout, and throw things at the actors. And unlike today’s theatergoers, most of them had to watch the whole performance

HENRY

Thrill show coming to M-P Fair HENRY — The 96th annual Marshall-Putnam Fair is bringing an exciting new attraction to the “Big Top A-Fair” which will be held July 12-16 in Henry. This spectacular act as seen in Season 6 of “America’s Got Talent” will perform their free show throughout the fair. The Fearless Flores Circus Thrill Show travels

throughout the United States performing at fairs, festivals and events of all kinds. While they are truly multi-talented, their featured attraction is the Globe of Death. The globe is a 14-foot steel cage where the Fearless Flores race motorcycles in well-rehearsed patterns missing each other by inches. This two-wheeled spectacle of

motorcycle madness is sure to entertain audiences of all ages. They will amaze you with their skill, precision and artistry. You will also be thrilled by the Wheel of Destiny, a breathtaking act high in the air. The Fearless Flores will perform two or three times a day throughout the fair. Visit the fair’s website at www.marshallputnamfair. org for scheduled times.

Miss Morgan Knoblauch, Junior Miss Nadia Kessling and Little Miss Brooklynn Thompson will pass on their titles to the 2017 queens during the annual Marshall-Putnam County Fair Pageant on Sunday, July 9.
