Subzero garage fire
The Lostant Fire Department responded to a garage fire on the morning of Jan. 30, when temperatures were well below zero. Firefighters found the detached garage located in the 300 block of West Third Street fully involved and with heavy smoke and flames showing. The garage and a vehicle were severely damaged, but firefighters were able to save the home, which was less than five feet from the garage, and the strong winds also helped. Lostant was assisted by the Toluca, Wenona, Tonica and Leonore Fire Departments, and also Eastern Marshall County Ambulance and Hope Township. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Windchills dipped to 50 below zero in worst of cold snap BY DAVE COOK news@tonicanews.com
Impact on schools Tonica Grade School Superintendent Chuck Schneider said there had been no issues reported regarding the building’s condition following the deep freeze. “Our parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared, but may need a little TLC after any new snow, and our maintenance and custodial staff prepared the building for the cold weather. We’ve had seven days canceled due to weather conditions: one just after Thanksgiving, two last week and four this week,” he said. He also said graduation has not been impacted and that as of now, it looks like the last day of school for Tonica Grade School students will be June 3. Lostant Superintendent Sandra Malahy reported her students have missed six days so far because of weather. “Hazardous road conditions drive the decision whether or not to cancel school, and we haven’t experienced weather-related equipment breakdowns,” she said. Graduation in Lostant, however, may be rescheduled. Malahy said Lostant students will now be in school through June 7, and that
teachers will be working through June 11. Schools weren’t the only places closing their doors. Several announcements were made throughout the week by area stores, restaurants and a several public buildings that kept their employees home during the worst of the weather. Garbage companies pushed back their routes for the week, and the U.S. Postal Service suspended mail deliveries during the cold snap for the safety of their letter carriers. The Putnam County Community Center, along with the Bureau Putnam Rural Area Transit (BPART), also put out notices letting people know they would be closed. The LaSalle County Sheriff ’s Office allowed their officers to let their patrol cars idle as needed during the worst of the weather as long as they were secured. Tonica Volunteer Fire Department Officer Rick Turri said he was thankful his department hadn’t experienced any major issues other than assisting with a garage fire in Lostant. During that fire, the strong and frigid winds helped to protect the nearby home from damage.
Keeping customers warm Area heating and plumbing contractors have understandably been kept quite busy. “We’ve been very, very busy. There’s been a lot of ‘No heat,’ calls and several broken water lines,” Heather Davis, dispatcher for
Grasser’s Plumbing and Heating of McNabb, said. Tonica’s Town and Country Services was also asked how the weather impacted their workforce, but as of press time had yet to respond. Local ethanol manufacturer Marquis Energy was asked if the polar temperatures had any effect on their production capabilities “During the extreme cold temperatures, we take extra precaution with the safety of our staff, but we continue to run at a full production rate of over a million gallons of ethanol per day,” Danielle Anderson of Marquis reported. The commercial greenhouse Color Point, of Granville, was asked how the glacial weather had impacted their operations and delicate products, but had yet to respond by press time. Following the extreme cold, temperatures rose almost as dramatically as they had previously fallen. Daytime temperatures during the following weekend rose well into the 40s and also included rain and fog. While the surprising war mth diminished much of the snowfall, nighttime temperatures continued to drop below freezing and kept icy roads a concern for snowplow drivers who worked to keep roads safe for local motorists. As area residents emerge from bone-chilling cold amid the early days of February, keep in mind the first day of spring is only a little more than six weeks away.

PC grad shows a student can serve on school board Streator teen tries to duplicate feat by Owen Mallery BY DEREK BARICHELLO Shaw Media When Owen Mallery graduated from Putnam County High School, he joked with his superintendent if he should sit with his peers or with the school board at the ceremony. In 2017, Mallery, along with Jake Leahy in Bannockbur n District
“We all seven (board members) have different opinions, different political beliefs. But we all respect each other.” Owen Mallery
member, Putnam County School Board 106, were elected to school boards at age 18, while they were still high school students. Both are still serving on their respective school boards.
Unlike Leahy, Mallery was elected in his own district, making his situation even more unique. On Thursday, Streator High School senior Richard “Hank” Tutoky is scheduled to go to court to try to get on the ballot of his high school’s board. Tutoky filed paperwork to be a candidate in December, but he was removed from the race Jan. 2 after a hearing in front of the LaSalle County Electoral Board. Tutoky signed nomination paperwork when he was 17 saying he was at least 18 years old. On Jan. 3, Tutoky turned 18, the minimum age to serve on the school board. Streator High School Board mem-
ber James Parr filed the objection regarding the signature, but he said after the hearing he believed it was a conflict of interest for a student to serve on his own school’s board. Parr was concerned about Tutoky being in a position of authority with teachers or fellow students. Mallery and Leahy are not the first teens elected to school boards. Fo r m e r C o n g re s s m a n A a ro n Schock won a seat on the Peoria School District 150 Board in 2001 when he was 19, making him the youngest Illinois school board member at the time.

TONICA — Oftentimes winter weather creates scenic beauty. However, this past week in the Illinois Valley was anything other than a wonderland. Record-setting cold that provided a local experience of Arctic conditions swept across much of the nation last week and created life-threatening conditions. Snow quickly turned to freezing rain. That was followed by more snow, wind, ice and then more snow. Accompanying that was a dramatic drop into sub-zero temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday, with actual temperatures in the 20-below-zero range, with frighteningly cold wind chills that approached minus 50 degrees. Bob Byrne, a member of the Cooperative Observer Program with the National Weather Service — Quad Cities, said this January is making the record books. Byrne said he has recorded the monthly snowfall in the area so far at 18.1 inches, which just beats the record of 18 inches set in January 2014. Schools across the Illinois Valley,
including those in Tonica and Lostant, closed because of the hazardous conditions and many have used their allotted snow days for the year. Further closures will have to be approved by the Regional Office of Education.

ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Notable children, family, guardianship, estate laws took effect at beginning of year Part four in a series PCR NEWS STAFF news@putnamcountyrecord.com The following is the fourth part in a review of notable new state laws that took effect on Jan. 1. DCFS Birth Records: Permits young people who have been placed under temporary guardianship or custody of DCFS to freely receive up to four certified birth certificates annually through age 26 if they were in care of DCFS on or after their 18th birthday. Custodial Alternatives for Pregnant Detainees: Requires the court to release a pregnant pre-trial detainee if birth will be given while in custody unless, after a hearing, the court determines the release would pose a threat to a victim or the general public. Allows the court to order a pregnant or post-partum detainee to be on electronic monitoring as a condition of pre-trial release. Protective Orders: Establishes that foster parents, legally appointed guardians, adoptive parents and prospective adoptive parents are added as persons protected under the Domestic Violence Act and Protective Orders Article. DCFS Youth Post-Secondary Tuition and Fee Waivers: Increases access to post-secondary education for foster
• STUDENT ON BOARD Continued from Page 3 According to the Illinois School Law Survey, the qualifications to serve as a school board member are, as of the date of the election: a U.S. citizen, a resident of the state and school district for at least one year preceding election, at least 18 years of age and a registered voter. State law also has additional prohibitions that govern qualifications.
Mallery won as a write-in In the Putnam County School District, Mallery, who now studies at Bradley University in Peoria, was elected to his school board as a writein candidate. Although he didn’t have a challenger in the race, he collected the minimum 50 votes despite not having his name on the ballot.
youths by providing tuition and fee waivers at any community college, university, or college maintained by the state of Illinois for eligible youths, including those not chosen for the current DCFS scholarship program, those the Department has court-ordered legal responsibility for, youths who aged out of care, youths formerly under care who have been adopted and were the subject of an adoption assistance agreement, or who have been placed in private guardianship and were subject to a subsidized guardianship. Adults with Disabilities Guardianship: Provides a court may not appoint an individual a guardian of a person or estate of an adult with disabilities before the wouldbe guardian discloses to the court the number of adults with disabilities over which he/she currently is appointed guardian. Provides if a court determines the would-be guardian is appointed guardian over more than five adults with disabilities, the court shall order the circuit court clerk to notify the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission and requires the commission shall maintain a list of all notifications. Youth in Care Assistance: Requires the DCFS to assist youths in care in identifying and obtaining documents to function as an independent adult prior to the closure of
the youths’ wardship. Necessary documents must include, but not be limited to: state identification card or driver’s license; Social Security card; medical records; educational records; and other documents. Workforce and Family Training Programs: Creates a five-year demonstration for two projects currently operating and being privately funded by Carle Foundation Hospital and Physician Group. These consist of the Job Readiness and Learning Program, which includes a paid training program, and Healthy Beginnings, a free, multiyear Nurse Family Partnership program for pregnant women, primarily at or below the poverty level, and offering support such as prenatal and family health, early childhood development, violence reduction, caregiver educational advancement/employment, and family self-sufficiency. DCFS Significant Event Reporting: Requires DCFS to provide a minor’s guardian ad litem or attorney, with a copy of each significant event report involving the minor, no later than three days after DCFS learns of an event requiring a report, or earlier, as required by Department rule. Defines “significant event report” to mean a document describing an event such as allegations of abuse, neglect or anything concerning their well-being.
Child Abuse Reports: Requires DCFS to keep unfounded reports of child abuse or neglect for a minimum of five years. Seeks to provide investigators more information so patterns of abuse or neglect are more easily recognizable. DCFS Specialized Placement Trafficked Youth: Provides that before July 1, the DCFS shall develop or enter contracts with agencies providing specialized placements for youth who are victims of sex trafficking. Visitation Clarification: Clarifies when a grandparent, great-grandparent, sibling or step-parent can seek visitation. Health Care Surrogate for Youth in Care: States when the court has appointed a temporary guardian for an abused or neglected minor, it’s allowed to also give the custodian the authority to serve as a surrogate decision-maker for the minor. Child Support Driver’s License Suspension: A penalty reduction for driving on a suspended or revoked driver’s license for failure to comply with an order to pay child support or comply with a visitation order, as well as for unpaid parking tickets. Only after receiving three or more tickets without paying any fees will they be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for driving while suspended or revoked.
Mallery said he heard some of the same complaints about conflicts of interest when he ran and after he was elected. Mallery was a student for one meeting in May, before he graduated. “I heard through the grapevine some teachers were complaining about it,” he said. “I had one teacher in class ask me, ‘Don’t you think it’s ridiculous you are on the board as a student?’” Mallery said voters of the school district should decide what they believe is a conflict of interest, noting his nearly two years on the school board have been both a learning experience and productive as far as the perspective he’s able to give. Mallery said he would have abstained from voting if he believed there was an issue with a teacher or coach he was close to, using the example of his baseball coach. Mallery said he had to prove him-
self at first when it came to talking about issues, before he believed other board members started listening. He said his recent experiences in school helped him inform board members who are decades older than him in regard to the importance of the ACT/SAT tests, advanced placement courses and applying for college, among other areas.
Mallery said he’s learned a lot about district finances and how to find common ground with fellow board members on issues that are important to him. “We all seven have different opinions, different political beliefs,” he said. “But we all respect each other.” Mallery said he was inspired to run for school board to give back to his community and make his school a better place. He has no aspirations for a political career. While he realizes challenges are likely for any student who runs for their own school’s board, he encourages more to do so, and he’s hoping Tutoky makes it on the ballot. “It would be unfortunate if he wasn’t able to run,” Mallery said. “Jake Leahy and I, both of us, have shown younger people can be on school boards and can do a good job.”
‘He’s been an asset’ Putnam County School Board President Rhiannon Baker said Mallery’s presence on the board has given the board “good perspective.” “(A conflict of interest) hasn’t been a concern,” Baker said. “He brings a student’s aspect on potential votes on an old teacher, coach or whatever. He’s been an asset.” Student representation is common on college boards where elected students are given binding votes.

DIGITAL DAYS: If a bill mandating five hours of direct teacher-student supervision becomes law this session, schools would no longer be able to count digital day alternatives to snow days as an official school day. The Senate Education Committee advanced the bill unanimously Tuesday, Jan. 29, while agreeing to discuss more calendar flexibility for school districts. State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood), the bill’s lead sponsor and Education Committee chair, said she understood that more flexibility is needed for school districts and was committed to working toward it. But she warned of the “wild, wild west” created by the repeal of the five-hour mandate. “Right now a district could choose to have four days of school in a year,” she said. If the bill passes both houses and is signed by the governor, the five-
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY COMMISSION: Woodstock Republican Rep. Steve Reick wants a private-sector commission to examine the spending habits and management practices of state agencies by minimizing redundancies in funds the state already allocates. His legislation, House Joint Resolution 6 and House Bill 275, would create an 18-member commission to comb through reports from the auditor general’s office and recommend ways to reduce spending, boost performance and adapt management strategies for state agencies. The group would be funded through private donations. Commission members would be chosen by each of the four legislative leaders and Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Among the proposal’s detractors is the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability Executive Director Ralph Martire. The Center is a nonpartisan think tank that “promote[s] social and economic justice for everyone,” according to its website.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Senate Assistant Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford, a Maywood Democrat, said the chamber is ready to push ahead with a bill to increase the state’s minimum hourly wage from $8.25 to $15 over an undefined period of years. The only rate structure mentioned at a Senate Labor Committee hearing on Wednesday, Jan. 30, was a $1 increase to the $8.25 rate for each of the next six years, then a 75-cent increase in the seventh year. Lightford said the rate would be phased in by 2025. Business interests also preferred a regional rollout of the tax increase. In Oregon and New York, high costs of living areas have a minimum wage that is higher than in more rural areas. Lightford said this would be discussed, but she was not sure it would be permissible per the Illinois constitution. Sen. Dave Koehler, a Peoria Democrat, raised the idea of regional tax breaks for employers in lower cost-
hour mandate would go into effect immediately. Superintendents, many whose districts were employing digital days due to the recent extreme cold, had concerns about the confusion this would cause for the current school year.

River Valley Players is revving up for its 43rd season
Lostant Grade School
Based on the DreamWorks smash hit, animated motion picture, “Madagascar,” this story follows all of your favorite “crack-a-lackin’ friends” as they suddenly find themselves on a much unexpected adventure to the wildly impulsive world of King Julien’s Madagascar, shortly after they leave their home in New York’s City’s Central Park Zoo. The Summer Youth Theatre participants will also have the benefit of attending one or more workshops geared toward the introduction and continued exposure of various aspects of theatre production, ensuring that their summer theatre experience is both fun and educational. Show dates will be July 19-21, with audition planned in May. River Valley Players will conclude their season with “Meet Me In St. Louis,” directed by Charlotte Balensiefen. Based on the heartwarming MGM film starring Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien, “Meet Me In St. Louis” is considered a “rare treasure” in musical theatre. The story portrays a wholesome, captivating depiction of the “turn of the century American family.” It is the summer of 1903, and the Smith family eagerly awaits the arrival of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over a year’s time, the family is able to survive romance, heartache and opportunity, thanks to their mutual respect, seasoned with some “good natured humor.” This heartfelt musical features a multi-generational cast, with ages ranging from 8 to 78. This down home classic musical will delight audiences of all ages. Show dates are Nov. 9-10, and 15-17. Auditions will be held in August. For more information, visit River Valley Players on Facebook or online at www.rvphenry.org.

HENRY — River Valley Players Community Theatre (RVP) has announced its 43rd season. This year features two beloved classics and a contemporary Broadway youth production. RVP is excited to give their audience exactly what they have been asking for by presenting the perfect combination of both classics and contemporary dramatic comedies, as well as the widely anticipated musicals. The season will open with Neil Simon’s “Lost in Yonkers,” under the direction of Jeni Shaver. This classic, dramatic comedy is the winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the winner of the 1991 Tony Award, Best Play. “Lost in Yonkers” is noted as Neil Simon’s best play ever written. The play is set in the year 1942, in Yonkers, N.Y. As the curtain rises, Eddie is trying to convince his mother, “stern” Grandma Kurnitz, to look after his two boys, Jay and Arty, while he hits the road as a traveling salesman in attempt to earn enough dough to pay off a hefty debt. The next 10 months prove to be a bit of a whirlwind for the boys, as they learn a little bit about growing up and a lot about the importance of family (no matter how dysfunctional they are) sticking together through difficult times. “Lost in Yonkers” is noted as Neil Simon’s best play ever written.
