Changing directions Putnam County School Board reviews new core standards By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord
GRANVILLE – The Putnam County School Board started off its meeting on March 18 with a hearing on the intent of the school to sell $5 million in bonds. Superintendent Jay McCracken re-iterated the bonds will not necessarily be issued.
“This opens a window of possibility,” he said. “With the state owing us so much money, we have to prepare. We have no intention of selling these bonds unless it’s absolutely necessary.” The main topic of discussion at the meeting was the new Common Core State Standards for learning that are being set by
legislators. Proponents of the new standards include the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, and the new core will have sweeping changes in the way teachers teach. Primary school science teachers Anita Ladage, Nichole Zellmer and Nancy Berger presented the board with an outline of how kindergarten through second grade
will be affected. Science subjects will be taught as cross-cutting courses, with portions of different science applications – biology, geology and physical science – being taught in the same class. “The accent is being placed on cause and effect, patterns and problem solving. From early on, students will be asked to look at problems and use a scientific approach to then solve them,” Ladage said.

By Ken Schroeder GRANVILLE – The Granville Village Board has cleared another hurdle in the quest to bring a Dollar General store to town. During its regular board meeting March 19, upon receiving approval from the planning and zoning committees, trustees established the business district in the plat of land where Dollar General would be built. The board also passed a resolution imposing a 1 percent tax on goods sold in the district with the exemption of foodstuffs and title-able items. The business district covers the total five acres of the plat instead of the 1.9 acreage Dollar General intends to use, since it is easier to exempt businesses from the tax imposed than to add the tax later. The land was also rezoned from single family residential to commercial. In addition, a resolution was passed allowing Al Cioni to locate a business in the business district. The next step in the procedure will be a meeting at 3 p.m. on March 29 with a Joint Review Board and Moran Economic Development to review the TIF plan and the eligibility of the proposed area. That meeting will be held in the village hall.

HENNEPIN - The bells are ringing again at the United Methodist Church in Hennepin as the bell choir is practicing this spring. The bell choir is composed of 11 musicians and Director Kristen Augspols. Bell choir members are Sandy Hrasch, Cathy Phillips, Betty Dean, Meaghan Dean, Kendall Miller, Ila Weddell, Debbie Doyle, Nancy O’Connor, Nita O’Neil, Linda Litherland and Dana Lewis. “We try to play at least one Sunday a month,” said Augspols. “I have played bells before in high school, so that is how I was asked to become the director. The bells were purchased with memorial monies left to the church, so it took lots of years to save up and get them.” Augspols said they have three octaves of bells. “Each bell is a separate note,” she said. “So if you have to play a sharp, you pick up a different bell.” Participants play as many bells as they are comfortable in doing. Some play four, some play two. The members don’t have to read music, but just have a good sense of rhythm to know when to play their parts. Individual members play with gloves as to not get skin Putnam County Record photo/Dixie Schroeder oil on the bells.

a situation that troubles McCracken. “Usually, you start with a goal in mind and work toward it, but the state says it’ll work,” he said. High school Principal Bob Petersen presented the board with an explanation of the changes in math and the efforts of the math teachers to meet the Common Core standards.

The second-grade students have already started lessons using the new core with the other classes starting in the 201314 school year, once the school can assess where any problem might occur. The standards are currently in the draft stage, but Berger said it shouldn’t change significantly. However, while the core standards are nearly complete, a system for measuring success is not —

she said. “We are sometimes asked to play in various parts of Putnam County. We have played at an open house for some retirees and at the steel mill employee’s credit union.” Augspols said she has had her core group for quite a while. All but two of the members have been in the choir since it started. Augspols said the choir is working on a difficult piece for Easter services, and they are very excited because they get to use mallets to hit the bells. It gives a shorter sound to the music. Choir member Weddell is one of the “lifers” as choir members call their role in the bell choir. “I’m here for the duration,” she said. “I try to play to bells where they are supposed to be played,” Doyle said.”But I enjoy it. It probably helps to be able to read music. But you just have to know what note your bell is on the music score.” “This is my second year, and I started with one bell, and I made it to two bells,” O’Connor said. “There was an opportunity to join, and I took it.” Hrasch said playing the bells is like fishing because the motion is “like casting for a fish.” The bell choir will perform on Easter Sunday and on Mother’s Day, May 12.

Fred Lippincott displays one of the many duck decoys he has collected over the years. Lippincott, who has served as a duck guide in the Hennepin area since 1970, collects decoys and duck calls and makes his own decoys as well. with the ones on display under lock and key. Most of the calls he has are handcarved from various woods, many of which were once very plentiful in the Illinois River valley. “Many of these were carved from basswood or red cedars because they grew along the river,” he said. He also has duck calls
made from materials ranging from polycarbonates to acrylics. “The acrylics they use today, they make calls in all sorts of colors — reds, clear, striped, you name it,” he said. New acrylic duck calls are the most expensive, with prices ranging up $100. However, that’s a drop in the bucket com-
pared to the older calls. “I bought this call for $800,” said Lippincott, indicating an intricatelycarved mahogany call. “Today, it’s worth about $1,500.” One of Lippincott’s favorite calls is one carved by Bob Hicks in the style of Charles Perdew’s calls. It’s made of walnut and shows some of the intricate carv-
ing Perdew was famous for. Perdew is a name that Lippincott holds in reverence, as do many other collectors. Perdew was a carver in Henry whose work is still prized as some of the best from the region. His decoys are sold at art galleries around the world, commanding prices up to $10,000 or more. Like decoys, duck calls also increase in price after the carver dies or the company goes out of business. Last year at the Guyette, Schmidt & Deeter auction house’s 27th annual spring decoy auction, one of Perdew’s calls sold for more than $15,000. Lippincott will be featured at the Hennepin branch of the Putnam County library. His program will cover duck calls and their different designs as well as the history of duck decoys in and around the Illinois River Valley. He will also display a map showing all of the hunting areas in 1890, including the fertile duck grounds of Lake Hennepin before it was drained early in the 20th century.
Clarifications
In the March 20 Putnam County Record story “Drugs still a problem for Putnam County,” State’s Attorney Jimmy Mack was quoted as saying arrests had been made at a particular concert venue. On March 22, Mack corrected his statement, and said the concert was actually the “Music and Art Fair.” This fair has been cancelled by the Putnam County Conservation District due to those issues. Also, information supplied to the Putnam County Record concerning the Brian Mekley Breakfast benefit on April 13 was incorrect. The benefit will serve food from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Standards From Page 1 “It’s been a long-standing problem for us; the math scores are not where we want them to be,” said Petersen. “This should help.” Schools will no longer teach algebra, geometry and algebra II as separate classes. They will form the core of the math I, math II and math III classes, which all students will have to pass in order to graduate. To ensure students are performing to the core standards, they will be tested at the end of each semester. Those who do not meet the expectations will take Response To Intervention (RTI) class. The RTI classes will be designed to help a student hone their skills in order to allow them to pass the course. However, students will still need to pass three math classes to graduate, and RTI classes are considered electives. “Using one of their electives to take an RTI should

Hennepin welcomes Kinzinger rep HENNEPIN – Reed Wilson, representing Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Illinois 16th), was in attendance at the Hennepin Village Board meeting March 20. Wilson wanted to let board members and Hennepin residents know to contact the congressman with issues they need assistance with such as Medicare benefits, Social Security benefits, taxes, immigration, veteran’s benefits and other issues. Board President Ken Coleman said the terrible condition of old Route 26 from the old telephone building site area was a problem Kinzinger could look into. Wilson said he would be happy
In other business: • The village is planning on adding more imprinted bricks to the courtyard at Walter Durley Boyle Park. Information will be released on placing orders, the prices of the imprinted bricks and the deadline for ordering. • The board approved a donation of $125 to the “Teen Showcase” of North Central Behavioral Health Systems. to pass the information concerning the problem of that stretch of road along to Kinzinger. Rotarians Bob Cofoid, Justina Boggio and Brenda Bickerman spoke about membership in Rotary, letting the board know of the valuable services it provides to Putnam County. They said
that in the past, Rotary has helped run the Prom Afterglow, given grants to PC Achievement services and other community organizations, raised money for scoreboards in McNabb and Granville and delivered poinsettias to seniors at Christmas. The board members chose to wait
for the full board to be on hand next month before giving a decision on membership. Coleman informed the board of the “Take Back the Night” event sponsored by Freedom House that will be taking place April 11 at Walter Durley Boyle park shelter. He also informed the board of a second Freedom House program called “Walk Around in my Shoes” which is a men’s march against violence on women and rape. Coleman asked for a donation from the board as he will be participating in that program on May 18 in Princeton.
TB skin testing at health department HENNEPIN - “TB” is short for a disease called tuberculosis. TB is spread through the air from one person to another. TB germs are passed through the air when someone who is sick with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, speaks, laughs, sings or sneezes. A TB skin test is one way to find out if you have TB infection. The TB skin test (also called the Mantoux tuberculin skin test) is performed by injecting a small amount of fluid
(called tuberculin) into the skin in the lower part of the arm. A person given the tuberculin skin test must return within a specific time frame to have a trained health care worker look for a reaction on the arm. The health care worker will look for a raised, hard area or swelling, and if present, measure its size using a ruler. Redness by itself is not considered part of the reaction. Employers including schools and health care providers may require
Attorneys schweickert & Ganassin, LLP • Personal Injury • Worker’s Compensation • Real Estate • Wills • Trusts
their employees to have TB skin testing done as a requirement of employment. Students enrolled in certain courses of study may also be required to have a TB skin test. The Putnam County Health Department offers TB skin testing at their location at 220 E. High St. in Hennepin. The current fee is $10 for a one-step and $20 for a two-step TB test. To schedule a TB skintest, call the Putnam County Health Department at 815-925-7326.

The smell of victory That time of year is upon us once again. The days are longer; flowers are starting to push through the frozen tundra; and animals are starting to shake off the cold starkness of a cold winter. It’s the time of year when a young man, such as myself, turns every waking thought to — college basketball. The NCAA men’s college basketball tournament has always held a special place in my family’s heart, and you’re about to find out why. When my wife and I were married many, many, FROM THE SKETCHBOOK many years ago, we thought that it would be fun to start a tradition of wagering on the tournament brackets. When I say wagering, I’m not talking about any money of any kind exchanging hands because in the catastrophic, unthinkable event of me actually losing, I’d have to ask her for a check to pay off my debt anyway. No, our wager was to be based entirely on personal pride. The bet was that on the upcoming Easter Sunday, with our entire family present, the loser of the bet would have to announce, in front of everybody, that they were married to the smartest person in the world. It was a simple little bet that I had every intention of winning. I was finally going to get the recognition that I so richly deserved. When we first started making our bracket selections, I rapidly determined that I had the upper hand. After all, I watched countless hours of basketball on television, both college and professional; I listened to hours upon hours of sports talk radio; and I was an avid reader of Sports Illustrated. Even the ones that weren’t the swimsuit issue. I absorbed all the information I could about college basketball. I studied the Xs and Os. I knew the weaknesses and strengths of all 64 teams. On the other hand, my wife made her decisions based mainly on the team mascots and their uniforms. She’d say things like, “Oh, those uniforms are pretty,” or “What’s a Jayhawk?” This was going to be like taking candy from a baby. Being the basketball guru that I was, coupled with the fact that I am practically the nicest guy I know, I magnanimously attempted to assist my wife with her picks. She wouldn’t have any part of it. She was determined to win this thing on her own. Her actions were both admirable and foolish at the same time. I just hoped she wasn’t going to be too upset over the drubbing that she was about to experience. I hoped that our young marriage would be able to survive this storm. I can remember waking up the Thursday morning that the tournament started. The air smelled crisp and clean. It smelled like — victory. And then the games started. By three o’clock in the afternoon, the first day of the three-week tournament, I was mathematically eliminated from any chance of winning. I felt like the Chicago Cubs on May 1 — done. It was horrible. My picks had become the kiss of death for many of the elite college basketball programs across this great land of ours. Meanwhile, my wife’s “pretty” teams were pulling off upsets left and right. I wanted to take her to a casino right then and there. The majority of the teams she picked, moved on to the next round. Her bracket looked all nice and neat. Mine had little red scribbles all over it that signified my teams getting knocked off, at least right up until I ripped it off the fridge, wadded it up and threw it away. When Easter Sunday rolled around, I was dreading what I was going to have to do. I was hoping for a small crowd. Many Easters, several of my family members have not been able to make it back home for Mom’s family dinner. This was not one of those Easters. There were people in attendance that I didn’t even know. The place was packed. I can still picture taking my last bite of Easter ham and looking across the table as my wife wickedly smiled at me. This was it. Time for me to swallow my pride and declare that I was married to the smartest person in the world.

No Child Left Untested Here we go again Among the alarming number of careers I’ve had in my life, I was a teacher for a couple of years — just long enough to pay off absolutely none of my student loans. (FYI: 40 percent of teachers will not teach more than five years.) I quickly realized that while I understood teaching and actually enjoyed a lot of it, I was not suited to be a teacher. But, I still understand teaching — the multiple hats that a teacher has to wear in a day and the enormous workload and responsibility of teaching the next generation to thrive in today’s world. In addition, teachers spend a lot of their “three-month vacation” attending classes themselves, so they can retain their teaching certification. If there’s a profession that receives no respect, it’s teaching. I understand teaching. Legislators, however, haven’t a clue. I am firmly convinced the legislators who write the laws and standards for today’s schools have never set foot in a public school.
Ken Schroeder COMMENTARY They likely attended a private school where everyone was there to learn, the teacher-to-student ratio was lower, and time could be spent devoted to learning without meeting the requirements of public schooling. First, there was the number of assessment tests that have been in schools for years. While often an intrusion, these tests at least measured learning and helped schools learn where their weak points were. Then came No Child Left Behind. While the goal was admirable – to make sure that all students had the same basic education – it was also unattainable. Students do not have the ability to learn the same. Some learn by doing, some by watching or reading — treating the students as a whole doesn’t work. NCLB also brought with it more tests. A lot more tests, many of which had little to do with knowl-
As I stood up at the table, I cleared my throat and asked if I could have everybody’s attention. As a hush grew among the hundreds, possibly thousands, of relatives that were in attendance, I started out by saying, “I have an announcement. I would like to publicly announce that my wife …” At that point, it got a little weird. Apparently, when you are the husband in a newly-married couple, and you stand up at Easter dinner in front of your entire family and start a sentence with, “I would like to publicly announce that my wife …,” you really need to finish the sentence with “… is having a baby.” Before I finished the sentence with “… is the smartest person in the world,” I could tell that people were going to be disappointed. I can picture everybody’s eyeballs getting wide with excitement and anticipation. My Grandma was starting to beam. My Mom was already figuring out what kind of baby
edge that most students need or could understand. These tests weren’t there to do determine which students were better learners; they were there to determine if the schools – and particularly the teachers – were “doing their job.” It didn’t matter if the students were doing well scholastically, if they had a “bad test day” during their Prairie State Assessment Test – or worse, if a student knew the test was aimed at the teachers and really wanted to “stick it them” – then the school wound up on the watch list and the teacher could get a little red mark in her file, which would follow her for the rest of her teaching career. Because these tests sometimes had little to do with some of the usual classwork, teachers were forced to “teach to the test,” covering areas that would appear on the test during time that should have been used for subject matter that was actually useful. Stay tuned for Part II of this column. It gets better. Putnam County Record Staff Writer Ken Schroeder can be reached at kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com.
paraphernalia that she was going to knit. My sister was sitting there stunned with her mouth wide open. (I believe that she was eating mashed potatoes at the time.) They were all eagerly expecting my next words. The confusion and ultimate dejection registering on people’s faces when I told them that my wife was the smartest person in the world is something I’ll never forget. My bewildered Grandma leaned over to my Dad and asked, “What did he say? Is she having a baby?” Dad replied, “Nope. She’s just smarter than him.” To which I believe my Grandma replied, “Why did he make such a big fuss about announcing something that we already knew?” You can contact Wallace at gwallace@bcrnews. com.

Business&Ag Time to schedule your annual water well checkup WASHINGTON, D.C – Just as you check your furnace or smoke detector batteries seasonally, spring is a good season to have an annual water well checkup before the peak water use season begins, according to the National Ground Water Association. An annual checkup by a qualified water well contractor is the best way to ensure problem-free service and quality water. Also, preventative maintenance usually is less costly than emergency maintenance, and good well maintenance – like good car maintenance – can prolong the life of your well and related equipment. NGWA further recommends you test your water whenever there is a change in taste, odor or appearance, or when the system is serviced. Wells can provide highquality drinking water, and about half the U.S. population receives its drinking water from wells. But with well ownership comes the responsibility of keeping the water well in good working order. A check of your well by a qualified water well contractor may include: • A flow test to determine system output, along with a check of the water level before and during pumping (if possible), pump motor performance (check amp load, grounding and line voltage), pressure tank and pressure
switch contact and general water quality (odor, cloudiness, etc.). • A well equipment inspection to assure it’s sanitary and meets local code. • A test of your water for coliform bacteria and nitrates, and anything else of local concern. Other typical additional tests are those for iron, manganese, water hardness, sulfides and other water constituents that cause problems with plumbing, staining, water appearance and odor. It is also recommended that well owners: • Keep hazardous chemicals, such as paint, fertilizer, pesticides and motor oil far away from wells, and maintain a “clean” zone of at least 50 feet between your well and any kennels and livestock operations. • Maintain proper separation between your well and buildings, waste systems and chemical storage areas. • Periodically check the well cover or well cap on top of the casing (well) to ensure it is in good repair and securely attached. Its seal should keep out insects and rodents. • Keep your well records in a safe place. These include the construction report, and annual water well system maintenance and water testing results. Visit www.ngwa.org or www.wellowner.org for more information.

“There’s an eightperson panel that looks over the applications and makes the selections. They make the decision based on the organization’s need and the request from the farmers,” Joehl said. “This is just our way of trying to give back to the community.”

Sports Panthers award Garcia with 100th career victory By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — The spring baseball campaign kicked off with a bang as the Putnam County Panthers took two from the Seneca Irish on March 23. The Panthers’ took the first game with a score of 12-9, and the second game by a score of 10-2. The first game marked the 100th career victory for fifthyear PC coach Dave Garcia. He also notched his first coaching victory against Seneca in 2009. Top Putnam County hitters included four-year varsity veteran Cody Ballerini who went 2 for 3 with a double and single and drove in five RBI. Evan Kreiser showed why he is one of the Panthers’ rising stars, going 2 for 5 with a double and a single knocking in two runs as well. Pitcher Jack Egan (1-0) won in game one with three innings pitched. Egan threw five strikeouts, only giving up two walks and three runs, all earned. Panther seniors Xavier Warren and Austin Pletsch packed a potent punch against the Irish with Warren hitting 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI. Pletsch was 1 for 3 with two RBI. Tyler Williams, (1-0) was the winning pitcher for the Panthers in game two. Williams pitched three innings, giving up only two runs earned. The doubleheader was moved to Granville due to unplayable grounds at Seneca. The Panthers’ next home game is a Tri-County conference game against Streator Woodland at 4:30 p.m. March 28 on Jenkins Field.
Shooting stars at Granville Hot shooting leads South girls, North boys to wins By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com
GRANVILLE — There were some real shooting stars in Saturday’s Second Annual Illinois Valley All-Star Game at R.M. Germano Gymnasium in Granville. Ottawa’s Jaleesa Kindred hit her first five shots of the game to fuel a 21-2 South run to build a 32-14 lead. She finished with 24 points on 10 of 15 shooting, leading the South to a 78-57. In the nightcap, Hall sharp-shooter Brett Fanning was equally as hot, sinking 4 of 5 shots in the first half and 6 of 10 overall in the North’s 113105 win. L-P’s Jens Soderholm led the North with 22 points. “This was all good. I appreciate Josh (Nauman) and Putnam County, and the Lockerroom and Country Financial for hosting these games. This is tremendous for the kids,” said St. Bede’s Tom McGunnigal, who coached the North girls for the second straight year. “I wished more schools would get their girls to participate in this, because it’s so important for them, to
be able to say you played in an all-star game years down the road no matter what the areas and where you come from, the girls deserved it and want to get that recognition.” The girls: McGunnigal said he wrote three rules
on the board for his allstars before they took the floor — don’t get hurt, score more points than the other team and have fun. They were able to abide by two of them. “It could have been any order of priority, but I think having fun was the most important thing, and I think they did that,” McGunnigal said.
Ottawa coach Mike Cooper said he kept it simple assembling his allstar team, which included three of his own Lady Pirates. “We put in two out of bounds plays, talked a little offense and let them get up and down the court a little bit,” he said. “I just

PCHS boys track meets the season with optimistic goals By Dixie Schroeder dschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE – Coach Chuck McConnell of the Putnam County High School boys track team has 14 boys out for the team this spring. McConnell is focusing on working with each student athlete to improve personal bests during the course of the season. The runners on the squad include four seniors who anchor the track team. Max Boggio is a first-time track member, and McConnell sees him filling a variety of roles on the team. Boggio will be put in distance events like the one- and two-mile event and possibly participate in the 4 x 800 and the 4 x 400 relays. Senior Dylan Croisant will be doing some running with the 400 meter and 800 meter type events with participation in the 4 x 400 and 4 x 800 relays as well. Dylan Kostellic on occasion will do a relay like the 4 x 400.
Jacob Levy is running the 100 and 300 meter hurdles. “He’s pretty versatile,” McConnell said. “He can do anything from the mid-distance to the distance if he has to. So we are looking at the 4 x 400, 4 x 800 and he could even do the 4 x 200 relay. It just depends on the meet.” Five juniors are also on the team. Jared Clark is the mid-distance sprint man for the team. McConnell said he would also be on the 4 x 200 and the 4 x 100 relay teams. Sam Garland will be doing sprints with the 200 meter and the 4 x 200 relay. Another new recruit is Tristan Keegan, who will be running in the sprinting events like the 4 x 200 and the 4 x 400 relays. Austin Middleton will be doing the 200 meter, 100 meter and the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay, too. Stephen Morine wants to do the mile event, according to McConnell. Along with that, Morine has been in the 4 x 200 relay and the sprint events and will be so again this year. Sophomore Mario Flores will be doing the 300 meter
hurdles and the 4 x 800 relay. One of two freshmen on the team is Andrew Mertel. Mertel will probably be more in the sprints, McConnell said. “The 100, 200 kind of thing,” said McConnell. “Possibly he will be in the 4 x 100, the 4 x 200 relays.” The second freshman on the team is Kurt Nabers. Nabers is going to be a distance runner, participating in the one and two mile events along with the 4 x 800 relay. Manager for the Panther track squad is Dalton Verway. “What I am looking at for the kids is breaking a lot of (personal records),” said McConnell. “They seemed very focused this year, and that will let them do better than last year on (personal records) and such.” McConnell said the team is frustrated at not being able to practice outside. The Panthers have been working predominantly inside to get ready for their spring schedule.

Fay resigns with Predators Kevin Hieronymus Shaw Media Service
STERLING — Former Putnam County High School All-Stater Carlton Fay is making a homecoming to the United States and Illinois. Fay has re-signed with the semi-pro Sauk Valley Predators and played in Friday night’s game against the Chicago Redline at Musgrove Fieldhouse in Sterling. The 2007 PC graduate rejoins the team after playing professionally in Uruguay, whose season ended March 13. Fay
played for the Predators in their inaugural season last year in the Independent Basketball AssociationPremier Basketball League. Their season started March 9 and runs through June 2. Other teams include Bloomington, Kankakee, Chicago, Springfield, Kenosha, Wis., Gary, Ind., and Indianapolis. At PC, Fay led the Panthers to an Elite Eight finish at the state tournament in Peoria as a senior in 2007. He went on to play for Southern Illinois University before launching his pro career.

From Page 7 little offense and let them get up and down the court a little bit,” he said. “I just thought they jelled well together, they were unselfish, they passed the ball and did the things they needed to do to be successful.” He also must have instructed them to put the ball in the basket. The South put the game away by halftime by shooting 19-of-30 from the field to build a 49-27 halftime lead. “Jalessa hit a couple early, Darian DeVary (El Paso-Gridley) hit a three and I think that just put everybody at ease and that gave us the opportunity to kind of play with a big lead,” Cooper said. “That game looked like my NCAA bracket,” McGunnigal said with a laugh. “Coop’s girls came out and shot the ball well. It was one and done, because they were making everything. it was an impressive display by them … I thought they came out a little more aggressive than we did, created some turnovers that gave them some easy baskets, but again they were hitting everything. We weren’t getting much going down.” St. Bede’s Mo Dean, the BCR Player of the Year, was up to her old tricks, knocking down 10 of 15 shots to lead the North with 21 points. She also called for a three-point shot late in the game, but missed. “I told her it was her last game in a St. Bede uniform so she better take advantage of it,” McGunnigal said with a laugh. Princeton’s Makenzey Wilson’s star also shined, especially in the second half in which she netted 13 of her game’s 15 points. The boys: While the boy’ game did not have the offensive firepower of the 2012 inaugural event in which a total of 173 points were scored and 95 three-point shots were attempted, there were plenty of highlights. The North built a 59-49 halftime lead behind the fire power of Soderholm (14) and Fanning (10), who combined for 24 points. “We were in catch-up mode the whole game and every time we had a run to get close, they would get a run to extend the lead again,” said PC coach Josh Nauman, who directed the South squad. The North squad truly represented the best of the Illinois Valley with the likes of L-P’s Soderholm teaming up with Hall’s Fanning (16 points), Mendota’s Trae Blumhorst (16 points) and Troy O’Sadnick (7) and St. Bede’s Joe Pyszka (17 points), Damin

2013 Illinois midwinter bald eagle survey results released SPRINGFIELD – Statewide surveyors counted 2,325 American bald eagles during the annual Illinois Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey, coordinated by the Illinois Audubon Society. The survey was conducted between the dates of Jan. 2-16. Nationally, this effort is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The goal of the survey is to collect, analyze and maintain long-term eagle population data. Warmer than normal temperatures were recorded throughout the targeted survey period in 2013. During more typical winter conditions, shallow backwaters freeze and push most of the wintering eagle populations to open water, where they can find food. “The better the weather, the fewer the eagles,” commented Richard Call who surveys along the Mississippi in Monroe County. However, despite the warm temperatures, the numbers were still up 173 birds from the 2,152 counted in 2012.

‘Take Back the Night’ planned HENNEPIN — In observance of National Sexual Violence Awareness Month, the Illinois Imagines Awareness Collaboration Team (ACT) will host “Take Back the Night” at 6 p.m. April 11 at Walter Durley Boyle Park in Hennepin. ACT is comprised of representatives from Freedom House, Department of Rehabilitative Services, Bureau County State’s Attorney’s Office, Princeton Police Department, Bureau-MarshallPutnam Special Education Cooperative, 13th Judicial Circuit Family Violence Coordinating Council, Self Advocates and Illinois Valley Center for Independent Living. The first “Take Back the Night” awareness event in the United States was held in October 1975 as community members in Philadelphia, Pa., rallied together after the fatal stabbing of a young woman, Susan Alexander,
a block from her home. Since then, “Take Back the Night” has become an international event which focuses on ending sexual violence against all people. This year’s event will bring awareness to the problem of sexual violence against people with disabilities. “Forty percent of women with physical disabilities are victims of sexual assault each year,” according to Michelle Spears, development coordinator for Freedom House. “These numbers increase substantially when a person has a developmental disability with a reported 83 percent of females and 32 percent of males being the victim of rape or sexual assault. Only 3 percent of these cases are ever reported. Freedom House is proud to partner with Illinois Imagines to let victims know that they do not have to suffer in silence.”

Illinois Imagines is a collaborative project on the state level that focuses on changing Illinois systems to better serve people with disabilities who also experience sexual violence. “Rape and sexual assault are crimes motivated out of anger and control,” Spears said. “Offenders will often seek victims which they feel are vulnerable. This is why nearly 40,000 rapes or sexual assaults will occur against persons with disabilities each year. Cooperatives such as Illinois Imagines and awareness events such as ‘Take Back the Night’ are crucial steps in ending these horrible crimes.” Featured speakers at the “Take Back the Night” vigil will include Teresa Tudor from the Bureau of Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention, Jason Johnson from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and James Mack from the Putnam County State’s Attorney’s Office. Survivors will also bravely share their stories of abuse.

HCCA plans final spring event The Heritage Corridor Community Associates will host its final members and guests event of the year on April 17. The deadline for reservations is April 10. A bus will leave Morris and travel to The Art Institute of Chicago. There everyone will have the opportunity to listen to a lecture on architecture given by David Spark, a senior associate director of museum education at the Art Institute. He will focus on five American houses: Jefferson’s Monticello, Frederic Church’s
Olana, and the Breakers and the Biltmore designed by Richard Morris Hunt. The final presentation will be on Wright’s Fallingwater, which embodies an integration of architecture with nature. After the lecture, lunch will be at Lowry’s, which is housed in the former McCormick mansion. Then the group will tour the Richard H. Driehaus Museum. It is housed in the 19th century home of banker Samuel Mayo Nickerson. Driehaus restored the structure and its inte-
riors including historically significant pieces by the Herter Brothers and Louis Comfort Tiffany. The HCCA is a nonprofit organization whose goal to encourage membership in the Art Institute of Chicago and support adult education in the visual and fine arts. They are always seeking new members.

Illinois Reading Council launches Illinois Reads SPRINGFIELD — Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White and the Illinois Reading Council (IRC) have formally launched Illinois Reads, the first ever statewide literacy program spanning all generations. “As a former educator and as a mom, I know how important it is to get kids excited about reading at an early age,” said Simon, a former Illinois Reading Council Legislative Award winner. “A love of reading will help ignite a desire for learning that can carry our young students into higher education and well into adulthood.” “I have always been
committed to ensuring that all Illinois citizens have access to quality literacy programs that set them on the path to lifelong learning,” said White, honorary chairman of Illinois Reads. “Illinois Reads is an exciting new program that will enhance our literacy efforts by encouraging all Illinoisans to read books by authors who are connected to the state of Illinois.” As part of Illinois Reads, which will culminate in a statewide celebration of literacy during Secretary White’s Family Reading Night on Nov. 21, classrooms, public and school libraries, community groups and community bookstores
throughout the state will feature the titles of 35 books in six separate age groupings. “These books range from read-to books for infants to read-aloud books for home-bound seniors and everything in between,” said Tammy Potts, president-elect for the IRC, who heads up the Illinois Reads campaign. “There is a pleasant mix of hard covers and paperbacks with several Spanish-language titles and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)related books.” The eight month campaign will focus on reading at home and in the
