When disaster strikes ...

PCEMA holds training exercise at Mennie’s Machine Co.

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

MARK — Police and rescue personnel throughout the surrounding area converged on Mennie Machine Co. in Mark on April 14 after Carl Spackler, a crazed gunman, shot and killed one person and held several others hostage for three hours.

Thankfully, it was actually only a drill.

The training exercise was conducted by the Putnam County Emergency Management Agency (PCEMA) with the Illinois Emergency Management Association and included representatives from law enforcement agencies from Bureau, Henry, Lee and Whiteside counties, as well as local emergency services and the Illinois Valley Special Response Team (SRT). Emergency drills are required for certification by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security.

James Goldasich, director of PCEMA, explained the process.

Construction on the Route 89 bridge Putnam County gets prepared

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN – The Putnam County Board discussed the preliminary studies that need to be done on the bottom road along the Illinois River in anticipation of the upcoming replacement of the Route 89 bridge at Spring Valley. County engineer Edward Andrews outlined some of the concerns and problems with the bridge on the road at the board’s meeting April 8.

In order to prepare for the increase in traffic, a traffic study by Crawford, Bunte and Bram-

meier Traffic Engineering will be done at a cost of $4,100. In addition, Fehr Graham Engineering will be analyzing the structural integrity of the bridge at a cost not to exceed $20,000. The board approved both of these projects.

The board also amended the appropriation ordinance for the county highway department, to allow for more money to be put into projects. The allocation for a raise in carry-over dollars from $50,000 to $95,000 for county-aid drainage

Election results in for Putnam County

By Ken Schroeder kschroeder@putnamcountyrecord.com

HENNEPIN – A lot of changes will take effect now that the April 9 election has passed. Turnout in most towns was about average — in the 35 to 40 percent range.

McNabb has a new village president after Mike Vaskie defeated incumbent Rick Presthus Jr. by 11 votes. McNabb had the largest percentage of voter turnout with 62.6 percent of persons eligible to vote at the polls.

The Granville Village Board will be seating a new trustee. Tina Bergen took in 196 votes to claim her position.

She knocks out Kathleen Fescenmeyer, who tallied 135 votes. Trustees Randy Borio and Roy Leckonby were successful in their re-election bids.

“It’s good to be back,” said Leckonby. “Hopefully, we can move on and finish what we started.”

Carl Naumann easily beat out contestants Bob Dixon, William Faletti and Donald Maggi picking up 33.2 percent of the vote to capture the Granville Township highway commissioner position. Naumann’s 227 votes were enough to put him in his new seat.

The Hennepin Village Board race yield-

ed results for Matthew Dean, Quentin Buffington and Lynn Haage as they’ll take seats as trustees. Jennifer Spratt lost her bid for re-election from the 44.5 percent of registered voters in Hennepin.

“This is the third time I’ve run for the office,” said Buffington. “I guess people saw that, and persistence paid off. I’m happy to be elected, and I hope we can continue the good work that the others have started.”

John O’Neill defeated John Petersen for the position of Hennepin Township supervisor.

O’Neill tallied 259 votes to Petersen’s 96.

Training From Page 1 “Our No. 1 priority today is safety. We have an overall safety officer, Chief Mike Skowera from Standard Fire Department, who will be in and around all the sites and has the authority to stop play at any time he deems it necessary,” Goldasich said. “As soon as it’s corrected, we can proceed.”

Putnam County Emergency Medical Services Director Andy Jackson was among the key personnel of the drill and was optimistic about the day.

“The only concern I have is it’s going to be busy on (Route) 71, and there’s probably going to be a lot of onlookers. And that’s a big concerns, but with the signs out there, safety-wise, I think we should all be good,” Jackson said. “As far as with EMS, it should go smooth. This is a natural for us.”

The training scenario revolved around a disgruntled former worker who broke into the building after wiring up several pipe bombs around the building. He took hostages, including one girl who had a bomb strapped to her, and shot and wounded two victims, while killing a third. A half hour into the exercise, the worker “blew up” the mezzanine over the main entrance at

Mennie’s. While it was all “make-believe,” it was also chillingly real.

“It’s being treated as a real event, of course,” Goldasich said.

The exercise was primarily written and supervised by PCEMA member Quentin Buffington.

“We had a request for law enforcement to be the first responders, so we decided with all the shootings lately, it was a good thing to do, to do a hostage situation. The SRTs suggested it, so we took that suggestion and ran with it,” said Buffington.

The hostages and shooting victims were played by members of the Putnam County High School FFA chapter, Neal Stasell, Shauna Wortz, Sara Moore, Ali Pletsch, Austin Pletsch, Kaylyn Donelson, Matt Donelson, Brad Wink and Megan Wink, along with FFA sponsor John Heiser.

FFA member Samantha Smoode was fitted with a vest with several “pipe bombs” attached. The gunman was played by Lyle Calkins, a member of the Standard Fire Department and PCEMS. Buffington was pleased with the response with local agencies and very grateful to Mennie’s Machine for the use of the facility.

“We couldn’t have done this without the people at Mennie’s,” Buffington said.

“Anything we’ve asked, they’ve always said, ‘What-

ever you need.’ They’ve always, always been big supporters.”

Valerie Keeney, human resources manager at Mennie’s, explained the company’s willingness.

“We’re happy to work with the emergency personnel. It gives us all a sense of security, plus it exposes them to our building and operation just in case something should actually happen here,” Keeney said.

Mennie’s continued to operate during the day, and the workers were given red shirts to wear to show they were not involved in the exercise.

“As long as we don’t interrupt the workers, they’re OK with us being here,” said Buffington.

Circumstances in this case were very different from most other disaster drills run in the area.

“This isn’t a fire or a tornado drill,” said Skowera, who is also Standard Fire Chief and county deputy coroner. “It’s a completely different situation with a shooter, so we have to slow down.”

Buffington was happy with the results of the day.

“Afterwards, I sat down with Jim (Goldasich), and we compared notes.

It went better than we expected,” he said. “The Response Team asked us if they ever (needed our) help for something like this, would we? Yes.”

OTTAWA — “Lincoln and his Generals: LaSalle County at War,” three days of Civil War Living History, will be presented April 19-21 throughout Ottawa.

Several new events have been added including a military battle and parade, a performance by the 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band and a display of Civil War era clothing.

Friday evening will feature the presentation of “Shiloh: The Devil’s Own Day,” a 30-minute video by the Tennessee Renaissance Center about the Battle of Shiloh and the last days of Gen. W. H. L. Wallace. In the video, Ottawa historian, Mollie Perrott, reads several of the love letters written between Wallace and his wife, Ann. People who attend the movie are then invited to the Reddick Mansion for a reception complete with Abraham Lincoln, Gens. Grant and Wallace, and several other historical and local dignitaries. Also, on Friday evening, 810 luminaries will be lit in Washington Park, at the Civil War Memorial monument, dedicated to the 810 LaSalle County soldiers who paid the ultimate price.

Saturday’s events will include the opportunity to have breakfast with the

soldiers, Civil War flag and artifact display at the Ottawa Historical and Scouting Heritage Museum (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily), Union and Confederate military drills and encampments, a display of Civil War era clothing, demonstrations and vendors in Washington Park (including a Civil War era hospital, blacksmithing, coopering, wheat-weaving and wool demonstrations, as well as several food options), a “press conference” with Lincoln and his generals, self-guided Civil War Soldiers tours of the Ottawa Avenue Cemetery, and guided bus tours of the Dickey-Wallace cemetery.

Saturday evening, the lumi-

naries will again be lit and Rob Girardi, Civil War historian and author, will give the keynote presentation, followed by a reception at the Reddick Mansion.

Many of the events continue on Sunday. On Sunday at noon, the Union and Confederate soldiers will participate in an Infantry and Artillery Civil War battle. The 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band will perform at 2 p.m. in Washington Park.

Several events are free, and some do have some entrance costs. For more information, see www. ottawaavenuecemetery. com or www.reddickmansion.org.

Mildred E. Steffens GRANVILLE — Mildred E. Steffens, 92, of Granville passed away Thursday, April 11, 2013, in Provena Hospital in Urbana.

Mildred was born to Harry and Anna (Zellmer) Graham on March 20, 1921, at their farm home in rural Granville. She married Leon Steffens on June 3, 1945, in the McNabb Methodist Church, McNabb. He passed away on Oct. 24, 1993.

She attended Fairview School for eight years, McNabb High School for two years and Steffens graduated from Hopkins High School in 1939.

She attended LPO College in LaSalle for two years and Bradley University where she graduated in the spring of 1943. She began teaching at the one-room country school, Fairview, where she attended as a child. She went on to teach elementary school in Putnam County for more than 25 years.

Mildred was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, and the Illinois and Marshall-Putnam retired teachers associations. She was also a member of Putnam County Historical Society, Home Extension, Card Club and the Ladies Aid Group at Immanuel Lutheran Church. She had fun choosing gifts for her Secret Sister and looked forward to getting their gifts and cards.

Mildred loved spending time with her family and friends or visiting with them on the telephone. She was a wonderful cook and baker (especially pies), and enjoyed entertaining. Her home and yard were always filled with plants and flowers. Two of her other favorite things to do were dancing and playing cards. She also liked to read and do crossword puzzles, but in later years with the advancement of macular degeneration her eyesight limited these activities. She was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bulls.

She is survived by her three children, Judy (David) Seraphin of Sugar Grove, Bonnie (Cary) Woolard of Tolono and Randall (Jo Ann) Steffens of Granville; seven grandchildren, Bryant (Tammy) Seraphin, Brigitte (Erik) Parks, Jeremy (Glenda) Seraphin, Zachary, Joshua and Sophie Woolard, and Grant (Johanna) Steffens; and seven great-grandchildren, Nick, Jake, Jahnia and Jazmyn Seraphin, Ava and Addison Parks, and Julianne Steffens.

Visitation was held April 16 at the Dysart-Cofoid Funeral Chapel in Granville and will be from 9:30 to 10 a.m. today, April 17, at Immanuel Lutheran (County Line) Church followed by services beginning at 10 a.m. with the Rev. Roger Helgren officiating. Burial will be in the Magnolia Cemetery, Magnolia.

Pallbearers will be her seven grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the Putnam County Education Foundation or the donor’s choice.

From the editor’s desk Last week, I had the distinct honor to be the guest speaker at the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association’s monthly meeting held at Samms. Larry Priest of Priest Financial Services invited me to attend, and I’m so glad I did. What a wonderful group of folks — all focused on making Hennepin a great place to live and work.

Needless to say, I was impressed.

As I listened during the group’s business meeting, I came to realize the many worthwhile activities the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association is doing in their Terri community — many which I wasn’t aware Simon of, however, most which I deemed to be very newsworthy.

Keeping that in mind, I hope all organizations in Putnam County will let us know when you have an event or special activity happening. Though we do have limited resources, we will do our best to provide coverage for you prior to the event. We also might be able to attend the event, snap a few photos and show the rest of Putnam County your positive news.

At the very least, we encourage you to take photos and submit them to us for publication. It’s really easy — just email the photo to news@putnamcountyrecord. com and in your email, make sure you tell us who is in the photo, what is going on, and include a telephone number so we can reach you if we have questions.

Likewise, submit your press releases on upcoming events/activities to news@putnamcountyrecord.com.

You are also welcome to drop off information at our office in Granville.

Your input into your hometown newspaper is integral to us bringing you the news which affects the folks in Putnam County. Give me a call or email me if you have any questions. I can be reached at tsimon@putnamcountyrecord.com or 815-875-4461, ext. 229.

••• What about last week’s election? I hope you made it to the polls. I watched so many races in Bureau, Putnam and LaSalle counties, and there were quite a few that were decided by just a few votes. I guess it just goes to show you that every vote counts — including your own.

Obviously, we’ll be seeing some new faces in local government. Whether they were your candidate or not, I hope you will lend your support to your local officials. Being on any kind of board is a lot of work, time and energy. And let’s face it — the pay isn’t great.

••• Way overdue: I should have introduced her to you long before this, but the other columnist on this page today is your Putnam County Record and Tonica News Managing Editor Barb Kromphardt. Barb comes to the position with a host of experience in the Bureau County Republican’s newsroom.

The font of all pleasure It’s been quite a few years ago, but I still remember the time I took one of those little quizzes you used to find in women’s magazines.

No, it wasn’t about rating your marriage or your parenting skills.

This quiz was about words, both their meanings and their pronunciations.

Now, I have been a voracious reader for a very long time. (See, I know lots of big words!) I used to be that obnoxious kid in school who would take her reading book home the first day of school and have it all read by the next morning.

As I grew up, books, newspapers, magazines ... even the backs of cereal boxes or the toothpaste tube ... if it had writing on it, it was fair game.

So I took the test, and boy did I score big on the vocabulary section. Perfect, if I’m remembering correctly, and I’m sure I am.

I knew what all of those words meant.

But I didn’t do so well on the rest of the test, which had to do with how those words are actually pronounced. My low scores on the second half of the test led to a conclusion that “You read a lot, but you’ve never actually heard any of these words used in a sentence.” Well, duh. I could have told them that.

One of those big words has been on my mind a lot lately.

Barb Kromphardt COMMENTARY It’s a great German word, full of all the angst and drama of that Teutonic language.

The word is “schadenfreude.”

Pronounced “scha-den-freud-eh” as near as I can tell.

A great word, but also a truly disturbing word.

You see, schadenfreude means to take pleasure in the suffering of others.

Not to take pleasure in the good things in life, like love, family, the smell of bread baking and the sight of a cute puppy.

But to take pleasure in the evil, the sadness, the grief that happens to someone we just don’t happen to like very much.

Who among us is so perfect that the little schadenfreude devil hasn’t sat on our shoulder and whispered in our ear?

Who hasn’t giggled when the star outfielder for the other team drops an easy fly ball?

Who hasn’t smugly grinned when the high school quarterback and homecoming queen show up at their 30th reunion fat, bald and wrinkled?

And who hasn’t absolutely gloated when the idiot that sped past you on the interstate is

pulled over by a state trooper?

Yep, schadenfreude.

Rick Warrren is learning all about schadenfreude.

Yes, the author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” pastor of the ginormous Saddleback Church, and speaker at presidential inaugurations, has been touched by tragedy. His beloved son, Matthew, recently committed suicide, and he and his family and friends are suffering.

But his detractors, those who dislike him and his message, are having a field day.

They are relishing Warren’s pain, rolling around in it like pigs in slop.

Some call him a hypocrite, and others say Warren earned his suffering because he is a “monster.” Fox News personality Megyn Kelly called some of the comments “shocking, disgusting and hard to understand.”

Yep, schadenfreude rules.

I still think schadenfreude is a cool word, but as a feeling or emotion, it’s not how I want to describe myself.

I want to celebrate the good in life, and let the bad hopefully wither and die.

And there’s no big words required for that.

NCILC announces Continuous Improvement programs At the March meeting of the North Central Illinois Logistics Council (NCILC), members agreed on a new format that will focus on educational programs aimed at both management and frontline associates.

Recognizing the overall workforce of many area companies has not yet completely rebounded from the recent downturn of the local economy, the intent behind the new format is to hold fewer meetings but shift from short presentations to slightly longer programs. Adopting the overall theme of “On the Road of Continuous Improvement,” two, two-part series have been scheduled for the upcoming months.

The first series kicks off on April 18 with “Managing and Reducing Workers’ Compensation Claims” presented by Carol Cesaretti, a workers’ compensation attorney from Chicago who will offer advice to employers on how to control existing claims and reduce future claims.

That program will be followed up with a program titled, “Risk Reduction in the Workplace”

on May 16 presented by Lanny Slevin, a physical therapist with St. Margaret’s Center for Physical Rehabilitation who will talk about what companies can do to reduce risk and prevent injuries in the workplace or on the road.

The second series of programs will further the Continuous Improvement theme, beginning with an “Introduction to Continuous Improvement” presented

by Amanda Oltman on June 20.

Oltman is a warehouse superintendent at Advantage Logistics and is charged with implementing the distribution center’s continuous improvement process for both management and hourly associates. Her program will provide an overview of the steps involved in implementing a program, and information on how to turn a plan into action at the workplace.

Part 2 of this series will be titled, “Turning Managers into Leaders,” presented by Mike Neubauer, a consultant with years of HR and management experience in the logistics industry. While companies may promote current employees to management

Both series are open to the public at no charge, and companies are encouraged to bring at least one key supervisor or team leader to all programs.

PC Rotary installs new member HENNEPIN – Rosanne Maier of rural Granville was installed as a member of Putnam County Rotary at the club’s April 4 meeting at Ray’s Place in Hennepin.

Proposed for membership by Rotarian Brenda Bickerman, Maier has actually been a part of Rotary’s meetings for some time, as the cook at Moreno’s on Main in McNabb, where the club had met for several years before moving to Ray’s in February. She will represent the classification “food service,” reflecting her occupation.

Each member of Rotary represents a profession or vocation,

true to the original Rotary concept of bringing together community members with many diverse skills and interests, to enjoy fellowship and to put their talents together to best serve others.

Maier grew up in the Cedar PointLaSalle area. She and her husband, Bob, live south of Granville. She has six adult children, 12 grandchildren and another grandchild on the way.

Performing the installation ceremonies, club Chaplain Ron McNeill offered Rotarians many opportunities to serve within the Putnam County community through pro-

grams such as blood drives, poinsettias for seniors, and the post-prom Afterglow, as well as internationally through youth exchange, international scholarships and world projects such as polio eradication, clean water in remote areas, and emergency response to disasters.

Club President Bob Cofoid officially welcomed Maier to the club, as club secretary Scott Shore provided her Rotary lapel pin and the challenge to learn more about Rotary.

Library Corner The Putnam County Public Library began in April 1938. Programs to commemorate its 75th anniversary will run one Monday each month.

Each program will be a special event highlighting local people and events as the library celebrates its 75th birthday, a nine-month celebration.

These programs are a way of thanking the Putnam County community for its support for the past 75 years and share the excitement the library has for providing services for that time.

Condit Library will continue with the theme of “Renewal and Spring Awakenings” for the preschool story hours held Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m. The themes for April are: April 23: Gardens April 30: Let’s Plant Some Seeds In April, Granville Library preschool story hour will be talking about friendship, sharing, taking turns and other themes that concern preschoolers. The Granville preschool story hour meets on Fridays at 10 a.m.

The Favorites Club meets the first Thursday of the month. Participants exchange names and authors of their favorite and not-so-favorite books from 10 to 11 a.m. Come prepared to enjoy a lively discussion.

Hennepin Library story hours are held every Friday beginning at 10:30 a.m. Children are read stories and make a craft. Spring is in the air in Hennepin and at the library.

McNabb Saturday Stories are every Saturday at 10 a.m. at the McNabb branch library for children age preschool through early elementary. Themes for April are: April 20 – Celebrate the Earth!

Recipe Corner

Green projects and eco-friendly stories will be enjoyed.

April 27 – April is Poetry Month!

Haiku, sonnet, verse or limerick, every poem weird or wacky will be read. There will be poetry and a wordy craft.

Special programs to stretch participants’ creativity will be available beginning in April. A series of interactive, art computer programs will be available for public use at the McNabb Branch Library. The National Gallery of Art has produced NGAKids ArtZone, compiling eight educational programs, including Brushter, Dutch House, Faces, Jungle Places, Photo Op, Sea-saws, and Still Life. These programs are used to teach art and art history through exploration and creativity. Patrons can request the computer disc for in-library use on the public computer.

The Homework Hour continues at the Magnolia Library. As the school year winds down, it is important to keep up with homework and work on having good grades.

Have you checked out the Standard Library? It carries a full range of materials for all ages. If you don’t see what you desire, the library is more than willing to obtain the materials from another branch or library system.

To have your news items and pictures included in the Library Corner section, email your information to news@putnamcountyrecord.com. For more information, call 815-339-2321.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Illinois Department of Transportation is proposing the replacement and demolition of the bridge that carries Illinois Route 89 over the Illinois River, located south of Spring Valley in Bureau and Putnam Counties. The bridge was determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Whereas this project is funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration and pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 144(n), any state which proposes to demolish a NRHP eligible listed bridge and asking for federal participation in funding the project shall first make the bridge available for donation to the state, local or responsible entity.

Therefore, the Illinois Department of Transportation is offering the IL 89 Bridge over the Illinois River to any qualifying state, local or responsible entity, as soon as they agree to enter into an agreement to the following conditions: 1. Maintain the bridge and the features that give it its historic significance, and 2. Assume all future legal financial responsibility for the bridge, which may include an agreement to hold the Illinois Department of Transportation harmless in any liability action.

The Department may cover some cost associated with moving this bridge, not to exceed the cost of demolition of this bridge. All remaining cost shall be the responsibility of the entity requesting to move the structure.

Interested parties should send a letter, along with funding means, location of bridge placement, means of moving structure and timetable for move.

It should be noted that the bridge will be required to be moved within thirty (30) days of the opening of the new bridge.

Letters of Interest should be sent to: Illinois Department of Transportation District #3 700 East Norris Drive Ottawa, IL 61350 Or contact Roger F. Rynke, Environmental Studies Unit Chief at 815-434-8569. Normal business hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Comments must be received by May 17, 2013 to be considered for transferral of bridge responsibility.

‘Can I have this dance ... for the rest of my life’ The annual Daddy Daughter Dance was held from 7 to 9 p.m. on March 15 at the Putnam County Elementary School in Hennepin. All Putnam County little ladies — prekindergarten through fifth grade — were invited to dance the night away with their dads while also enjoying a DJ, refreshments provided by Cheri Judd and Mandy Ciucci, and a live band — Shattered Pride of Princeton. Each young lady received a photo of her dad and herself to take home for a keepsake. The event was sponsored by the Hennepin Business and Betterment Association. Pictured (right, top) are Arriana and Albert Rivera; (right, bottom) Katrien Holocker and A.J. Chambers; (above, left), Taylor and Jason Lenkaitis; and (above, right) Madelyn and Scott Hultz.
