MCNABB — The resi-dents of McNabb will be invited to a get-together in the near future. The McNabb Village Board pledged $100 to help fund a social event to give the residents a chance to get re-acquainted and meet people who have recently moved into town.

GRANVILLE — Com-munity Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA) brought Oma-ha-based author and R5 Productions presenter Mike Donahue to Put-nam County High School Sept. 10. Donahue talk-ed to students about bullying, and the social pressures teenagers face today.
“I can’t tell you don’t do drugs. That would be hypocritical,” Donahue said, using a voice stu-dents were easily able to relate to. “I was a drug and alcohol abuser when I was in sixth grade. I didn’t do it for the high. I did it to escape the pressure.”
Donahue talked to the students at PCHS about his own experi-ences as a youth, includ-ing a time when his mother attacked him with a knife. The wound required 17 stitches, but Donahue didn’t want anyone at school to know how it happened.
“I went to school the next day, and there was that pressure to belong. Not me that day. I found a bathroom, and I spent the whole day crying,” said Donahue. “That was the worst day of my life.”
According to Dona-hue, a lot of destructive behavior young people go through is due to the
pressures of day-to-day peer pressure at school, and a failure for students and parents to commu-nicate and understand the problems children face.
“I talked to the mother of a girl who had com-mitted suicide. She said ‘Why did my daughter commit suicide?’ The problem was she didn’t listen, and her daugh-ter didn’t tell her all of her problems,” Donahue said.

Remembering 9/11Flags commemorat-ing the 2001 terrorist attacks fly at half mast at the Putnam County Courthouse on Sept. 11. The flags were loaned by Putnam County Clerk Dan Kuhn to the court-house as a reminder of those who died on that day, and the impact it still holds. The Flag of Honor (top) contains the names of the victims of the attack, while the Flag of Heroes lists the names of the emergency service personnel who gave their lives in the aftermath.

McCracken led students through some games designed to allow students to become familiar with their dictionaries.
“I’ve chaired this pro-gram all seven years,” said Dictionaries Project Chair Adriane Shore. “As a for-mer teacher, this is some-thing I really believe in.”
Rotarians participat-ing in the presentation included Shore, and com-mittee members McCrack-en, PCES Principal Mike Olson, Lorraine Teran-do, Rosanne Maier and Samantha Wachowiak.
“This is a great program. It gets the community involved with the school through the Rotary and gives the students some-thing that helps them through their education and beyond,” said Olsen. “And it gives the superin-tendent a chance to inter-act with the kids which is something he truly loves to do but doesn’t get an opportunity often enough.”

County board OKs roof testing
Area veterans to take Honor Flight
By Ken [email protected]
HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Board voted to begin the process of discover-ing exactly what con-dition the Putnam County Courthouse is in. Basalay, Cary and Alstadt, an architec-tural firm of Ottawa, has been given the go-ahead to perform an exploratory drilling on the courthouse roof to determine if the sur-face of the roof is the problem or if it goes much deeper.
The test will cost the county $21,850. No actual estimate on the repairs has been made, although George Cary told the board previ-ously it would “not be inexpensive.” Several of the materials used in any repair option would have to be cus-tom-made, since they are no longer manu-factured.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to do this in stages and spread the cost out,” said Duane Calbow, county board president.
The Putnam County Courthouse is the old-
est functioning court-house in the state.
In other action, the board:
• Went into closed session to discuss the hiring of a new county highway supervisor. Calbow said there are no candidates at this time, but the board is still intending to share the officer with Marshall County as before.
• Heard a report from Sheriff Kevin Doyle on his search for a possible service dog for the department. It has been some time since the county had a canine unit, and Doyle told the board dona-tions from residents and businesses are sufficient to pay for the purchase of a new dog without using tax-payer dollars.
• Set the dates for the upcoming budget meetings for the next fiscal year. Meetings will be at 5 p.m. Sept. 23 and Sept. 30 and 9 a.m. Oct. 7. The meet-ings are open to the public.
• Discussed allow-ing Sandy Woest to administrate the county website.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Three Putnam County vet-erans will be among those recognized with an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 3. Jim Goldasich, Harold Schrowang and John Bima have been cho-sen to fly free of charge to visit memorials and sights in the nation’s capitol by Honor Flight of the Quad Cities.
The first Honor Flight in the nation started in Springfield, Ohio, in May 2005. In 2008, the Quad Cities formed a local chap-ter, called Honor Flight of the Quad Cities (HFQC). The purpose of HFQC is to fly America’s veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to honoring their sacri-fices.
Top priority is given to World War II- and Korean-era veterans, or any veter-ans with a terminal illness. The intention is to honor the local and regional
heroes who were selfless in their military duty with a free trip to visit their memorials. The program operates on donations from organizations and individuals. Volunteers plan and coordinate the flight event, and special guardians are trained to help escort the veterans the day of the flight.
Local organizer Jodi Slingsby said some veter-ans are hesitant to take advantage of the honor. That’s where she comes in.
“I call and get them to go. Even when we did the big bunch out of here, I can’t tell you how many
times I had to make phone calls to the house, ‘You’re going. You’re going if I have to come get you and roll you out in a wheel-chair into my car. You’re going,’” she’d say to the reluctant veteran.
Arrangements are made to insure veterans’ needs are covered.
“I took Cindy Bunnell when we went the first time because she was an inhalant specialist, and we had a couple of vets on oxygen. They said, ‘We can’t go.’ No, no, no, we got that covered,” said Slingsby.
Each veteran has a guardian assigned to them
for the trip to give what-ever assistance might be required, and veterans are required to fill out a medi-cal form so the organizers know about each veteran’s individual needs. Veter-ans and their guardians must attend an orienta-tion meeting in Rock Falls so they can meet, get to know each other and learn about the itinerary. The Honor Flight departs from Quad Cities International Airport.
In addition to the flight, the organization arranges for students from local schools to write letters to the veterans thanking them for their service. The letters are handed out on the return flight home.
There is still some room for more guardians to take this group of veter-ans. Guardians do have to pay the $500 for the flight and travel arrangements. Forms and information are available at www.honor-flightqc.org. Applications must be received no later than Sept. 26.

Quinn’s task force to meet in Peru
College enrollments are down
Library to provide program on Affordable Care Act
Time to kick the habit
PERU — The LaSalle-Peru Township High School Area Career Cen-ter will be playing host next week to a meeting of Gov. Pat Quinn’s Area Career and Technical Education and Vocational Centers Task Force.
State leaders will dis-cuss the future of career and technical education in Illinois during the meeting. Participants will be looking at the finan-cial challenges that career centers are facing today and exploring innovative solutions to ensure that opportunities for career and technical education
training for Illinois high school students remains a viable option.
George Letavish, policy analyst for Quinn, will be conducting the meeting and Bob Sheets, a policy advisor from the Depart-ment of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, is expected to attend.
The public meeting will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday in the Dolan Building (Corner Cafe), 200 Ninth St., Peru.
For more information, contact Mary Stouffer, director of the Area Career Center, at (815) 223-2454 or [email protected].

OGLESBY — Accord-ing to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, college enroll-ment in fall 2012 plunged by half a million (467,000) from one year earlier. This decline, which includes both graduate and under-graduate enrollment, fol-lows a period of substantial growth between 2006 and 2011.
As the nation’s students begin a new school year, the Census Bureau released its annual set of tables on the characteristics of chil-
dren and adults enrolled in school at all levels from nursery to graduate school. Among the characteristics examined were age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, nativ-ity and foreign-born parent-age.
The decline in college enrollment was driven by older students, those 25 and older. Their enrollment fell by 419,000, while the enrollment of younger stu-dents declined by 48,000.
In 2012, there were 19.9 million college stu-dents, including 5.8 million enrolled in two-year colleg-es, 10.3 million in four-year
colleges and 3.8 million in graduate school.
Locally, Illinois Val-ley Community College’s enrollment also slipped.
“We’re down 6 percent in head count this year from last year,” said IVCC Direc-tor of Community Relations and Development Fran Brolley. “We’re also down 6 percent in credit hours taken.”
For IVCC, this is not a new occurrence. Enrollment has been on the decline for a couple of years.
“We set record atten-dance in 2010,” said Brol-ley. “We had 8,361 credit
students enrolled between our fall, spring and summer semesters. Numbers have been slipping since then.”
Speculation on the rea-sons for the drop in enroll-ment point predominately toward economics with col-lege being financially out of reach for many, and the amount of grant money available being cut. Addi-tionally, there’s a growing concern that college may not be worth the invest-ment with at least one esti-mate of approximately 53 percent of college graduates currently unemployed or under-employed.
HENNEPIN — Join the Putnam County Library at 6 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Putnam County Library in Hennepin, when Mary Hal-lock of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois explains the upcoming changes in the health care laws.
Learn how new provi-sions of the health care reform law will change how many people will get health insurance begin-ning in 2014. There will be different ways to compare and purchase health insur-ance — either directly through an insurance com-
pany or agent or through online health insurance exchanges. Many people will be eligible for tax cred-its or subsidies to help pay for coverage.
Hallock has been with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois since 2007 and has been a featured speak-er at numerous seminars. She has extensive expe-rience in the insurance industry and health care management.
Registration is required and can be done by call-ing the Putnam County Library at 815-925-7020.

GRANVILLE — Sep-tember is National Alco-hol and Drug Addic-tion Recovery Month, a national program that attempts to reach those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to teach them how to live a healthy life. The observance’s main focus is to congratulate those in recovery from these conditions and to help others realize treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
Drug and alcohol abuse is still a big problem in Illinois and accounts for most of the felonies committed in Putnam County. Drug abuse, especially marijuana, starts early. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, approxi-mately 6.5 percent of all eighth-graders had used pot during the last month according
to a 2012 study. Those figures show a steady increase in usage over the last ten years.
While alcohol usage is declining nationwide, it still starts early with the same study showing one out of every four 12th-graders getting drunk during the previous month and slightly less participating in binge drinking.
In Illinois, the num-bers are disturbing. Over 5,500 deaths among Illinois residents each year, more than 5 percent of all deaths, are directly or indirect-ly related to the use of alcohol and other drugs. Between 3,600-4,000 Illinois residents die each year from acciden-tal injuries related to the use of alcohol. The annual Illinois statewide economic costs associ-ated with alcohol, other drug and tobacco-relat-ed mortality is in excess of $3.5 billion.

The PC Agriculture Museum held their annual open house of the Putnam County Historical Society. Bruce Hollaway of Buda had his enclosed bee hive on display, and he told the story of bee keeping to large audiences. The permanent display of agriculture equipment, tools, wildlife, coal min-ing, military mem-orabilia, 1900’s general store, post office, one-room school and farm kitchen were on view for the many people who attended the historic gem on the prairie, including tours of the historic Pul-sifer House built in 1844. Antique tractors and trucks were lined up for all to see. There was also the Discov-ery trailer with animals for the children.
•••The Week International magazine had an article
about the three teenagers — one white who drove the car and the other black, and one of these shot and killed 22-year-old Chris Lane, a white college student from Australia attending college in Duxan, Okla. He was shot as he was jogging down a road. They shot him in the back. Lane was in the United States to pur-sue his dream of playing professional baseball. Racial animus was very clearly a factor.
Shortly before the attack on Lane, one of the kill-ers tweeted, “90 percent of white people are nasty. #HATE THEM.” So where’s the outrage? Does rac-ism only count when it is white on black? The Wall Street Journal in an editorial said, “There was no saturation cable TV coverage, no press conference featuring Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, and no state-ment from the Oval Office.” Kathleen Parker wrote in the Washington Post, “... that unfortunately, the race peddlers would rather focus on white injustice.” Even President Obama got into this polarizing game when he unwisely injected himself into the Trayvon Martin case, declaring that if had a son, “He’d look like Tray-von.” With this single statement he essentially gave permission for all to identify themselves by race with the victim, or the accused.
I could just as easily say, “If I had a son, he would look like Christopher Lane,” or “If I had a father, he would look like Delbert Belton,” an 88-year-old, white, World War II veteran beaten to death last week by two black teens in Spokane.

On July 7, 1928, Otto Rohwedder, a jeweler from Davenport, Iowa, and Frank Bench, a baker from Chillicothe, Mo., made history selling sliced bread for the first time. Rohwedder had invented a bread slicer years before but could not find a commercial baker brave enough to use it. Most people scoffed and told him pre-sliced bread would get stale and dry long before it could be eaten. When Rohwedder finally pro-posed a workable solution to Bench — wrapping the bread in waxed paper after it was sliced, and a trial balloon was launched that literally changed the way the world ate bread. After this every good idea was heralded as: “The next best idea since sliced bread.”

COMMENTARY
“I think it is a good idea. Hopefully less accidents will happen among our teenagers. I am concerned about the teenagers as I know they can multi-task very well when they are young. But
when they are behind the wheel of a car, that is a big problem. I have no problem with this law at all.”
JoAnne Duncan, Granville
“I totally agree with the policy. Teenagers espe-cially have too much time with too many
phone calls as they drive. This is a great idea. It will keep many people
safer.”Connie Malavolti, Mt. Palatine
“I’m not going to be here because I am moving. This is too much. Too
much government in our lives. The government needs to fix themselves before they make any-
more laws for us.”Joe Bucy, Granville
“I wish they would all stop talking on cell
phones. You see them drift across lanes. They never stay in their own lanes. This law is a good
idea.”Bob Newhalfen, Magnolia
“I don’t think it’s a good policy. Many kids can double task just fine.
However the law on tex-ting is a good one.”

Constitution of the United States, 1789
It was many years ago when I first stepped foot into the 220,000-foot facility. Kewanee was the home of BOMAG Ameri-cas, where road building equip-ment was manufactured and sold in all 50 states. I was fortunate enough to get hired and spend the next 12 years of my career at this multi-million dollar corporation.
So I was saddened last week when BOMAG announced that after nearly 100 years of local operations, the company would “cease manufacturing operations in Kewanee by the end of 2014 and relocate its business to a yet-to-be determined location in the southern United States.” As I thought about the announce-ment, I realized it was truly a reflection of the current job mar-ket in many ways.
The goodThe BOMAG jobs are not leav-
ing the country. According to the most recent “Economic Review” published by the University of Illinois, jobs have increased in the United States by 155,300 per month. The Boston Consult-ing group published a report last month estimating that as much as 30 percent of goods imported from China will be manufactured
in the United States by 2020. Companies like Nokia, Motorola and others are creating jobs in the United States to design and manufacture products that less than a decade ago, would have been lost to competitors overseas. Increased efficiency, higher over-seas logistics costs and declining energy costs from the shale boom are improving U.S. competitive-ness globally.
The badEven though we are adding jobs
in America, Labor Department data shows the average hourly pay actually declining. Employers are definitely not under any pres-sure to raise wages anytime soon. After all, we still have 11.5 million unemployed people searching for work, and millions of others who have simply just given up looking for a job. Adding to the wage pressure is a job market which is becoming more and more global every day. Oceans, once a barrier for wage disparity between conti-nents, are now merely a body of water between landmasses.
The uglyThe BOMAG jobs are leaving
Illinois. At a recent luncheon, our District 16 Representative Adam Kinzinger posed a ques-
tion: “So how is the local econ-omy?” A businessman in atten-dance who conducts business across the country responded the economy was doing quite well and appeared to be improving. I felt it my duty, however, to speak up and explain to the Congress-man that while the national economy may be getting better, that wasn’t necessarily always the case locally. Kinzinger admit-ted the No. 1 complaint he hears from his constituents was the poor economy in our district. This admission made sense to me – because the fact is while the nation is adding jobs, Illinois is losing them.
• According to the Illinois Policy Institute and IRS data, between 1995 and 2009, Illinois lost one resident every 10 min-utes ... and with them went $26 billion in taxable income.
• According to a United Van Lines migration study, Illinois
led the country with the highest move out percentage of any state in 2011.
• Data from the IRS shows in 2009, Illinois experienced a net loss of people to 42 states including each of its neighbors – Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Iowa ... not just to the south.
Glass half fullOn the bright side, let’s give
kudos to those businesses in Illi-nois that are still employing folks and not following the same path as BOMAG. While some say our state is beyond the point of no return, there is always hope. The uphill battle is not an easy one for our elected leaders. A turn around will be possible only if we change our ways and take a few lessons from those other states who are stealing our jobs and our residents.
Good luck to my old friends at BOMAG!

Sports Lady Pumas host Pink Night for VerondaBy Dixie SchroeDer
MCNABB — Putnam County Junior High School coach Chris Walk-er admits he can’t keep a secret. When the idea came up to honor Paige Veronda last year with a special Pink Night in honor of her mother, Pam Veronda who passed away from breast cancer, he was excited about the plan and knew he could not wait to spill the beans.
“I’m not very good about keeping secrets,” Walker said. “I told Paige we were going to do something spe-cial for her this year, but I didn’t tell her exactly what or anything specific like that. Then the more she would ask me I would give her a clue here and there and finally said the heck with it. So I just told her. She was pretty touched by it. She’s a good kid.”
Sept. 9 was set as Pink Night and opponents Mid-land Junior High School got into the spirit of things as well. Special pink shirts were ordered and worn by both teams and a lot of their fans. The officials for the night even wore spe-cial pink shirts and donat-ed their salaries back to the cause.
The Lady Pumas had pink bases, pink shoes strings and pink batting helmets. There were pink banners hung in the outfield. The concession stand monies from the game even went to the
cause.Monies raised from all
of the effort was going to be given in a donation for breast cancer awareness. Paige Veronda was pret-ty impressed with all the efforts that everyone had gone to with this event.
“It was really a shock to me, a real shock,” said Veronda. “It has been kind of overwhelming, and I am really happy about it. I really like the idea of it. Mr. Walker told us last year but we didn’t know the exact date, and he told us that about a week ago.”
Veronda admitted that with her family having a lot of losses to cancer the event has made her feel better about seeming to fight back with regards to her family’s situation. Many of her teammates
agreed this was a great way to support a cause and raise awareness.
The Pink Game was as exciting as the pregame activities with the Lady Pumas tying and knocking in the winning runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to win against Midland by a score of 4-3.
The Lady Pumas had Lindsay DiazDeLeon reach base on an error with one out in the 7th inning. DiazDeLeon stole second and third base and C.C. Davis also drew a walk and stole second base on the same play. Veronda came in and crushed a ball to right cen-ter field that bounced over the fence for a ground rule double, driving in the tying run. Olivia Holmes followed with a single,
ending up at second base where Carleigh Wellenre-iter laid down a perfect bunt and reached first base on a fielder’s choice. With the bases loaded, Alivia Resurrecion drilled a hard ground ball to the second baseman. Veronda broke home on the play and beat the throw to win the game.
Davis pitched a com-plete game for the win, throwing nine strike outs and giving up only two base on balls. DiazDeLeon went two for four with four stolen bases while Resur-recion also went two for four. Veronda went one for four, with the double and two RBI.
The Lady Pumas are currently hosting Regional this week at the Swaney campus.

Lady Panthers have banner weekBy Dixie SchroeDer
MCNABB — The Putnam County High School Lady Panthers had a sterling week win-ning two homes meets at their home course of Edgewood.
On Sept. 11, the Lady Panthers took on the Lady Bruins of St. Bede High School. Playing on the front nine at Edge-wood, a par 38, the home team won by a score of 201-2016. Leading the charge for the team was Kelsey Grosenbach and Carly Gonet who both shot 48. Stephanie Wil-son followed with a 51 and Tara Doyle shot a 54.
For St. Bede, Gabby Mendoza was medalist for the meet shooting a 45. Mendoza was fol-lowed by Aiko Mendoza with a 51, Sydney Eus-tice with a 52 and Tess Montez with a 58.
Lady Panther Head coach Eric Ciucci was again happy with the team’s performance despite their less than
best efforts.“I think the girls will
tell you tonight was a bit of a struggle for us on our home course,” Ciuc-ci said. “This is a very good St. Bede team, and the outcome of the meet was in jeopardy up until our last group came in off the course. We were very happy that the girls pushed through some of the challenges they had tonight and were still able to post four solid scores to win the meet. Luckily we have some seasoned players who are showing that they can deal with those chal-lenges on a night when things don’t seem to be going their way. That poise and leadership can be a difference maker when we get into the postseason in October.”
The Lady Panther record is now 7-1 on the year.
On Sept. 9, the Lady Panthers took on the Lady Mallards of Henry. Playing the front nine again at home, a par 38, the Panthers dominated the Mallards 216-268.
Medalist for the game was the Panthers’ Gonet with a 47. Following her was Grosenbach with a 55 and Doyle and Lau-ren Bauer with 57 each.
For Henry, Tiffany Lequia shot a 60 and Kelsey Pieper shot a 66. They were followed up by Sam Killen with a 68 and Kayla Gladd with a 74.
On a hot night in McNabb, Ciucci was pleased with his team’s play.
“Carly was able to post a good medalist round for us again on a very hot weather night,” he said. “Tara and Kelsey continued to post solid scores in the top four for our team and Lauren Bauer was able to give us a good number four player score tonight. However as a team we realize that we still have a lot of work to do in order to be prepared for the postseason this October.”
The Lady Panthers will be on the road next week to play at Plano High School on Sept. 23.
