GRANVILLE – A Joint Review Board has agreed upon the eligibility of the proposed tax increment financing (TIF) district for Granville at a meeting in the village hall March 29. That sets the stage for a final public hearing on May 7 before the board takes action on the ordinance on May 21.

Keith Moran of Moran Economic Development presented the eligibility requirements that were met by the proposed TIF dis-trict to the board members, which included Village President Doug Gimbal, Granville resident Karen Richardson and IVCC Vice President of Finances Cher-yl Roelfsema.

“You’ve got a hundred year-old water system, constructed of cast iron, which is breaking down already; which is setting the need for a fire pro-tection district. You don’t have sufficient pressure; you’ve got lines that are breaking that creates fire protection problems,” Moran said. “You’re hav-ing problems with your salt storage building, a sanitary sewer system that’s also over 100 years old. We’ve got a variety of storm sewer issues in the area as well. We wanted to enable the community to repair those infrastructure problems.”

GRANVILLE – If tenacity can be applied to someone in Putnam County, it would be John Kendall. Kendall, who was a well-known media/journalist in the Putnam

County area through high school and junior col-lege, has landed his first full-time television job as the producer for WEEK News 25/WHOI 19 morn-ing television program. As the ABC news affiliate for Peoria, WHOI-19 pro-vides news in the “Morn-

ing Daybreak” show. The show gets a 10-minute segment each hour to fill.

Kendall said he has always wanted to be working in television.

“I first off wanted to be a weatherman,” he said. “I’m a weather nut. I saw Lee Ranson; I saw Bill

Houlihan from News 25; and I always wanted to be that.”

Kendall said in 1994, his parents had taken him to a kids’ festival held by WEEK News 25. Kids would stand in front of the green screen where weather was taped and practice with the weather man in saying

the day’s weather.“The weather man

wanted to do two takes with me because I was reciting his weather fore-cast right back to him,” Kendall said.

Fast forward to 2003. Kendall signed up for the first journalism classes

5K Run/Walk brings awareness,

memories, understanding

By Ken [email protected]

HENNEPIN – To under-stand the “Colors for Arie” memorial 5K Run/Walk, it’s important to understand the reasons.

For a parent to have to bury a child must be one of the hardest things to do. How much worse can it be when the child dies as a result of suicide?

Carol Miller lost her daughter Arie Boggio on March 3, 2010, at the age of 15, and the pain is still fresh in her mind.

“It’s hard, especially when you go downstairs and see her things still packed in boxes,” Miller said.

In an effort to understand what happened, Miller sought out help from Liv-ing Works, a support group in Princeton for families of suicide victims. Over time, she has become a board member at Living Works,

determined to make sure others never feel the pain she does. Living Works has sponsored a Living Walk for four years in Princeton, but Miller wanted some-thing more as a tribute to her daughter. When friend JoAnne Lee showed her a video of a Color Run, it trig-gered an idea.

“When I saw the Color Run, I said, ‘I have to have that!’ Arie was just so full of life and color; I thought this would be fitting,” said Miller.

The words “Color Run” are trademarked, but the basic idea is not. Runners and walkers will start out at 120 N. Fourth Street in Hennepin, ideally wearing white clothing. As the par-ticipants pass designated distance points, they are doused with a packet of colorful powders. The end result is a very colorful dis-play on each of the partici-pants.

An undertaking like this doesn’t come easily, so Mill-er enlisted the help of some of her co-workers at Mennie Machine Co. Lee and Lora Ossola, Leah Rolando and

Bob Spratt were all more than willing to help out.

“I wouldn’t be where I am without my support because this is a lot of work,” Miller said.

Spratt disagrees.“We just started it, but

it’s really all been Carol,” he said.

“We’re having it in Hen-nepin because that’s where she lived. That’s where she is,” said Miller.

The 5K route will pass by Arie’s memorial as a reminder of what the run is

all about.Rolando, a former ISU

student, has taken up the cause as well, and sees a lack of support services for people contemplating sui-cide.

“When I was there, I found no groups for peo-ple with bipolar disorder, no suicide support groups, nothing,” Rolando said. “We want to shed some light on it. We need to be talking about issues and causes.”

Miller is working on bringing workshops to local

schools not just to talk to students, but also to inform parents on what happens when a loved one takes their life.

“There is a stigma against people with mental issues and problems like this, and there shouldn’t be,” said Miller. “This is real; it’s not a TV movie where she shows up at the end.”

“This happened,” said Ossola. “It can’t unhappen.”

Miller is grateful to the village of Hennepin, and she said many of the board members have already pledged their personal report.

The proceeds from the “Colors for Arie” run will go to Living Works, a non-profit organization that runs on donations. The cost for registration is $25, and that includes a T-shirt. The first 200 registrants will also receive a color packet.

There is still a need for volunteers and sponsors and always room for more runners. For more informa-tion on the run/walk, go to http://colorsforarie.webs.com or check out their Facebook page.

that had been offered in a while at PCHS. He was nominated and won an “Outstanding Staffer” award for his work on the Pan-ther’s Tales online school n e w s p a p e r in the Peoria Journal Star’s high school journalism contest. Kendall also joined up with the WRAM television crew. Kendall learned to run the cam-era and shot different games at the end of his freshman year in high school.

“It was a student-run operation,” he said. “It was guided by Jack Immel, Mike Gonet and Ken Jenkins. I started to direct a few games and started to call games on TV. My first game I called was on Nov. 22, 2004, with David Stickel and Eric Straughn.”

The fuse had been lit, and Kendall quickly saw what his future would be. After graduating in 2007 from PCHS, he went to Illinois Valley Com-munity College for two years, continuing to hone his writing on the IVCC newspaper.

Transferring to West-ern Illinois University in 2009, he declared as a broadcast major and

journalism minor. Kend-all found the set up some-what similar to what he had done at PCHS and WRAM-TV, as he was looking for a break to get working in his chosen field.

“I tried out for some announcing, ran camer-as,” he said. “It ended up that one of the kids was unable to finish the sea-son, and the sports Direc-tor Buzz Hoon asked if I wanted to do the rest of the season.”

Kendall helped call Macomb High School games — live softball and volleyball and he did the entire football season his junior and senior year. He was sometimes the analyst, sometimes the color person, and some-times the play-by-play person in the booth.

With 2011 came gradu-ation from WIU and no job offers. Kendall sent out more than 300 appli-cations — which he called a “conservative” estimate — had inter-views, a couple second interviews, but could not find the full-time job for himself. He sees part of the problem as being a

lack of internship experi-ence.

“I already knew how to do things professionally,” he said. “So I didn’t apply for any internships. But I didn’t make connections either.”

A friend last fall helped him get hired as a part-time associate producer at WHOI 19 in Peoria. Kendall said he loved the job in an instant.

“I did a lot of differ-ent things. It was for the noon show. I was a film editor, I would go out and shoot sports, I was an occasional photogra-pher, and a reporter. If spot news happened like a car crash or a house fire, I was out there going where ever I could,” he said.

Kendall said the peo-ple he worked with were very interesting. The on-air personalities were just the same when they were off the air. After three days, he was somewhat star struck.

“I was afraid to go talk to them,” he said. “Then one of my friends had to do a ‘Gibb slap’ on the back of my head because it was like, ‘Dude, you

gotta wake up.’”Kendall said one of the

best parts of news is the fact that you never know what is going to happen. He thinks that makes the job more interesting.

Kendall’s step into the WHOI-19 “Morning Day-break” show was made possible when a couple of other producers left. The show is on from 5 to 7 a.m. each morning Monday through Friday. In his role as a new pro-ducer he will decide what goes on the air each day and organize the show. He said he should be trained and considered the full-time producer by April 1.

“We will all work as a team to put on the best product that we can each day,” he said. “But I will choose the stories and other breaking news. I will have to decide what the top story is when we hit the air at 5 a.m., and say ‘Good morning here is your top news of the day.’”

The new job means dif-ferent hours for Kendall. He will be working from midnight to 8 a.m. How-ever, he doesn’t mind the change. He is excited because now he has more stable hours and can give a little more time to orga-nizing his social life and staying busy.

“It’s like that Warren Zevon song, ‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead,’” he said.

Philip H. EdgerleyGRANVILLE — Philip H. Edgerley, 23, of Gran-

Of the 116 parcels in the TIF district, more than 20 percent of them are declin-ing in equalized assessed value (EAV.) The proposed district represents only 1 percent of the EAV in Put-nam County, Moran said. Building deterioration and lack of a unified village structure are also contribut-ing factors.

“There was no real plan-ning when most of these buildings went up; they were just built,” said Moran.

“We were really careful about what we wanted to put into this TIF. I can’t reiterate enough that we are a blip on the radar as far as what we put in this TIF,” Moran said. “There a lot of communities who would put 50 percent of their town in; they’d put the whole town in, and we didn’t. A lot of thought went into this.”

The initial reason for establishing the TIF was to enable the building of a Dol-lar General store. The com-pany has expressed interest in coming to Granville but would not do so without the existence of the TIF. The TIF district will also provide monies and incen-tives for the beautification of the downtown area. Moran cautioned this was not going to be an instant money gen-erator.

“This is not going to be a monster, where the village goes out and annexes sur-rounding property. This is going to be a very specific TIF designed to attract a business and help you out

with your infrastructure and help other businesses in town. This is not a LaSalle-Peru TIF district,” Moran said.

Roelfsema presented the views of IVCC, which were positive but with some res-ervations.

“We have no objection to this, and we’ve seen a lot of good come from TIF dis-tricts in our area. However, in the majority of the local TIF districts, the college has an intergovernmental agreement. If new busi-nesses come to town and bring tax revenue, we need our share,” Roelfsema said. “If these businesses come to the area and property values do go up, that doesn’t help the college at all.

“Our tax levels are at their limit right now. We cannot go any higher. We need to be able to count on those tax dollars,” said Roelfsema.

Moran said the college’s share of the tax monies in the TIF district would be very small with an estimate of less than $10.

“We took considerable care to make sure this TIF district is small,” Moran said. “We did everything in order to make less of an impact on local bodies. We took such careful consider-ation of what we put into this TIF to have it just big enough, so it could have an impact over 23 years.”

Moran expressed the pos-sibility of meeting with the college on an annual, as-needed basis at the annual joint review board meetings, but Roelfsema reiterated the college’s desire for an inter-governmental agreement.

COMMENTARY

No Child Left Untested, Part IIThe NEW new math

Last week, I related the joys that teachers have dealt with since the passing of No Child Left Behind.

Wait, it gets better.Now, the powers that be have

decided – probably from the results of NCLB – that the central precepts of teaching – the core curriculum – need to be over-hauled. I really do applaud this move and the method that they are initially going about it, but in the end I think it might do more harm than good.

For instance, the math program at schools will be overhauled in high school. Instead of taking alge-bra, geometry and algebra II, the subjects will be taught together in a more comprehensive manner. These three core math subjects would be taught in Math 1, Math 2 and Math 3. Lessons learned as part of algebra can immedi-ately be applied to geometry and vice versa. After these classes, advanced students can take the more advanced calculus and trigonometry classes. However, three math classes are required to graduate.

Question: When you went to high school, did everyone in your class take algebra? Probably not. Many of your classmates probably took general math. Guess what’s

not going to be available any-more?

Wait, it gets better.If students do not measure up

to the standards set up for the new core curriculum, then they become part of a program RTI (Response To Intervention). This will help the student rise to the point where they can pass the class (At this point, I don’t know if they then are able to count the original math class as completed, but the impression I get is that is not the case.). Remember how students have to pass three math classes to graduate? RTI math is not a math class. It’s considered an elective. So instead of taking that shop class or theater class, Johnny has to take RTI, and then probably take the math class over again. Considering many students look forward to their elective classes to get through the day, being forced to use an elective slot to learn math again will not sit well.

And how do they determine if a student is not measuring up? If you answered “more tests,” go get a cookie.

Wait, it gets better.Students have to pass three

math classes. All students. The only math classes currently in the new core will teach algebra, geom-etry, and algebra II. Those classes are normally required for college-bound students. Now, all students will have to be college-trained for math. I don’t know about you, but there were people in my class that were barely paper-trained; they would never be able to pass algebra.

What’s the end result? The stu-dents who would have taken the Big Three will still do well, and so will some of the students who might have taken the easy classes. However, some of those students who struggled with general math are not going to graduate under the new curriculum. They’ll become part of the “17-and-out” students who reach the legal age to do so and drop out of school. This, to me, would be a direct contradiction of NCLB.

Yes, more students will be bet-ter prepared for life, especially if they wanted to go to college. But is that worth an increase in drop-outs which will almost certainly happen?

Web-based anhydrous safety training available

SPRINGFIELD — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Direc-tor Scherrie Giamanco has announced the mar-keting assistance loan (MAL) and loan deficien-cy payment (LDP) provi-sions authorized in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) have been extended for the 2013 crop year with the

passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

MALs and LDPs pro-vide financing and mar-keting assistance for wheat, rice, feed grains, soybeans and other oil-seeds, peanuts, pulse crops, cotton, honey and wool. Assistance is avail-able to eligible producers beginning with harvest or shearing season and extending through the program year. The 2013

mohair crop is not eli-gible for MALs or LDPs because mohair provi-sions were suspended by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 and the Continuing Appropriations Resolu-tion, 2013.

MALs provide produc-ers interim financing at or after harvest to help them meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities

when market prices are typically at harvest-time lows. A producer who is eligible to obtain a loan, but agrees to forgo the loan, may obtain an LDP if such payments are available.

For more information about marketing assis-tance loan and loan defi-ciency payments, please visit your local county FSA office or http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pricesup-port.

NORMAL — The Putnam County High School FFA ag commu-nications team compet-ed in the annual state competition on March 23 at Illinois State Uni-versity. Team mem-bers included Megan Wink, Marcus Burr, Josh Cabal and Brian Schrowang.

The team put togeth-

er a presentation of a media plan on a select topic and made their presentation. Individu-al team members then write an article, create a social media plan and also a magazine lay out during the competition.

The team earned fifth place in state. FFA sponsor at PCHS is John Heiser.

SPRINGFIELD — Pre-venting accidental releas-es of anhydrous ammonia is a high priority for the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) and Illinois agricultural orga-nizations. These acci-dents can not only result in the loss of valuable nitrogen fertilizer, but can also cause injury to farmers and emergency responders.

“The IDOA investigates all agricultural-related anhydrous ammonia incidents,” Jerry Kir-bach, bureau chief of Ag Products Inspection, said. “Our investigation of incidents over the last three years shows that improper management of ammonia hoses, fail-ure to maintain safety devices on tool bars and not properly securing the tanks during highway and field transportation are among the leading causes of accidents.”

The department, the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association (IFCA), the Illinois Corn Growers Association

(ICGA) and Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) collaborat-ed to develop a detailed web-based training pro-gram for farmers.

IFCA and IDOA staff then developed the pro-gram content, which fea-tures video and anima-tion of actual ammonia accidents that occurred in Illinois and detailed instructions on how they could have been prevent-ed. The program’s five

training modules cover properties of ammo-nia, personal protective equipment, transporta-tion of ammonia to and from the field, the safe hook-up of ammonia tanks in the field and emergency response and first aid procedures. After completing the training, farmers can take a knowl-edge assessment to deter-mine their understanding of the material and print

a certificate of comple-tion for their records.

Thanks to funding from NREC, the program is free to farmers or anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of ammonia safety.

“When not handled properly, anhydrous ammonia can cause seri-ous injury and impact the environment,” Agricul-ture Director Bob Flider said. “I encourage farm-ers who apply their own ammonia to use the pro-gram, take the knowledge assessment and self-certi-fy that they are trained to safely handle this prod-uct.”

The program can be accessed at the following websites; specific ques-tions about the program or its features should be directed to IFCA: Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association at www.ifca.com; Illinois Corn Grow-ers Association at www.ilcorn.org; Illinois Farm Bureau at www.ilfb.org; and Illinois Department of Agriculture at www.agr.state.il.us.

Putnam County beats WoodlandBy Dixie SchroeDer

[email protected]

HENNEPIN –After a shaky start in one of the first home games for the Putnam County varsity Panthers this season, the team recovered and car-ried by the hard hitting bat of Jake Egan, beat Streator Woodland 9-6 at Massino Field on March 28.

The first four innings of the game saw PCHS play messy baseball, giv-ing Woodland, (0-2, 0-1 TCC) the lead on an error, a dropped third strike and a passed ball. Cody Ballerini and Har-old Fay gave up a com-bined five earned runs in first five innings to put the Panthers behind the 8-ball.

Panther coach Dave Garcia noted his pitch-ers are still trying to fine tune their delivery. How-ever Garcia was happy that the team was out on the field competing and not giving up when the score was not in the Panthers’ favor.

The Panthers then turned to Jack Egan to deliver the big hit in the fifth inning and ignite his team. Egan hit a bases loaded triple which pro-pelled the Panthers to an eight-run inning in the fifth. PC designated hitter Austin Pletsch sin-gled home Egan to tie the game at 5-5. Pletsch moved to second after Jake Kasperski was hit by a pitch. Kasperski was out on a fielder’s choice that moved Pletsch to third. Pletsch then scored on an error by Woodland when a double play ball got thrown into the Woodland dugout for an error. This left the score at 6-5 with PC on top.

The Panthers added three more runs for a total of eight for the win with a final score of 9-6. Egan finished the contest with a two for three at bat, delivering a double, triple and 3 RBIs. Other top hitters in the contest for Putnam County included Xavier Warren who was

two for four with two runs and one RBI. Evan Kreiser went two for two with two runs, Ballerini went two for four with two RBIs and one run.

Winning pitcher for the Panthers was Fay,

(1-0) while losing pitcher for Woodland was Nate Roemer.

Putnam County, (3-0, 1-0 TCC) will next play at home in the Midstate Tournament on April 5 and 6 at Jenkins Field.

DWIGHT — In a week filled with weather-relat-ed cancellations, the Put-nam County High School varsity Lady Panthers were able to squeeze in an away game against Dwight on March 27. While the Lady Panthers, (0-1) shined in the defen-sive area and pitching, their offense was lacking, leading to a 1-0 loss to Dwight.

Both teams had low-hitting games with the Panthers pulling down six hits as Lauren Colby went 2 for 4, Nikki Mertel went 2 for 3, and Shelby Yepsen and Taylor Pettit each went 1 for 3. Pet-tit’s hit was a triple in the top of the seventh inning which head coach Chris Walker was hoping would be the start of the Pan-thers’ offense.

“It was nothing-nothing going into the seventh inning,” Walker said. “Top of the seventh with two outs, Taylor Pettit hit a triple to right center, Lauren Colby, our lead-off hitter came up, but we had struggled with a slow-er pitcher all day, and we

didn’t get her in.”Putnam County pitch-

ing was stellar with veter-an player Yepsen throw-ing shutout ball at Dwight through six innings. With one out in the seventh inning, however, the wheels fell off the game for the Panthers.

“The bottom of the sev-enth, I think there was one out,” Walker said. “The girl comes up who played for them last year and hit a dinger over the center field fence for a walk off home run. So we lose 1-0.”

The home run was only one of two hits that Yep-sen allowed in the game.

Walker was, however, very pleased with his lead pitcher this game.

“It was the first game of the season for her,” Walk-er said. “She struck out 12 and walked two; she looked pretty sharp for the first day of the year. We just didn’t give her a whole lot of support.”

Walker was pleased with what he saw in the Lady Panther defense during the Dwight game.

“Our defense was very, very good,” he said. “Pitching was sharp; we just didn’t finish our job.”

PCHS boys trackPanthers on track in field events


GRANVILLE – Put-nam County High School boys track coach Chuck McConnell has a surplus of student athletes ready to participate in field events this season.

In the field events of shot put and discuss, the Panthers have seniors Dylan Kostellic and Dylan Croisant, along with junior Tristan Keegan, sophomore Scott Urnikis and freshman Andrew Mertel.

For Kostellic and Urni-kis, the interest in these events came by seeing the challenge of conquer-ing how to do the events.

“It seems to take more skill and coordination,” Kostellic said. “It’s most-ly form. He’s (Urnikis) working on the form for shot put, and that’s very difficult as well.”

“It’s more like a dance, than anything,” Urnikis said.

“It’s probably 60 per-cent form and 40 per-cent strength,” Kostellic said. “So you have to be really strong, but if you don’t have the form down — and the practice and dedication to get the form perfect, then you are not going to throw as far as

someone who put in that dedication.”

Kostellic has thrown around 31 feet for shot put so far. His best dis-cuss throw was 100 feet. Urnikis had his best shot put throw at 27-1/2 feet. His best discuss throw was about 96 feet.

McConnell gave the students tapes to watch demonstrating the form.

“We mostly learn from other people at the meets,” Urnikis said. “Watching other people who demonstrate their form — if you see some-thing you like, something that really clicks.

“Or you see someone that throws like 140 feet, then you pay attention,” Kostellic said. “’Oh wow,’ you think, ‘Let’s watch him next time and take pointers from that.’”

McConnell said Urnikis is looking at the discus record Croisant wants to exceed — 40 feet in shot put.

“I know they have been working in the off sea-son on things trying to get better,” he said. “I’ve

seen several in the weight room and stuff like that.”

Senior Jacob Levy does the high jump, and McCo-nnell said he is wanting to take on more field events.

“He’s even talked about triple jump this year,” McConnell said.

Levy said the high jump is not what people would call a normal event.

“You like run in a big old curve, and it’s slightly ridiculous,” Levy said.

PCHS girls track

Lady Panthers up to new challenges


GRANVILLE — The Putnam County High School Lady Panthers track and field squad are going to be very busy this season. Coach Missy Carlson will be asking the most out of her squad, taking several girls into new field events as well as welcoming veterans back to old field events. Carlson, however, thinks her girls are up to the challenge.

Junior Megan Rehn will be learning the tri-ple jump for the Lady Panthers. Rehn, who had previously done the long jump, is up to help-ing the team gain more points in tight meets.

“I have been doing the long jump previously, and she (Coach Missy Carlson) is going to have me do the triple jump for points,” Rehn said.

Rehn said it will help because not many girls at the high school level do the triple jump.

“The more events we can be in the better,” she said.

The difference is going to be challenging for Rehn, but she said she has seen others perform the triple jump at other meets last year, so she feels she can pick it up this season.

Sophomore Lydia Warren will participate in the long jump this season for the Panther squad. Warren is an experienced long jump participant, having done it as a freshman and pre-viously in junior high school. Warren is work-ing hard to increase her jumping ability.

“My best (jump) so far is 14 foot flat,” she said, “But I’m trying to work on it to make it farther.”

Training for the long jump takes a combination of things, Warren said.

“You work pretty much on strengthen-ing your legs,” she said. “You also work on your form as well. By doing that you can watch other people jump at meets. I also watch videos of people on YouTube.”

Senior Claire Griffith, along with juniors Becky Arnold and Brooke

Veronda, are the discus and shot put athletes for the Lady Panther. Griffith had an injury that took her out of last season, and Arnold is learning both events this season. Veronda is com-ing back after an injury last season that limited her ability to participate in the spring track sea-son.

Carlson said Veronda is her team’s top discus thrower right now.

“With discus I kind of really shot off in eighth grade,” Veronda said. “I was really good at it. It was surprising because I was like the smallest one out there. So I started doing shot this year. I’m hoping to improve in that.”

Levy’s best height last year was 5 feet, 6 inches in his first year of trying the event.

“But I was so close to 5 feet, 8 inches; I nicked it by the heels.” he said.

Levy said he started to get inter-ested in the high jump at meets, and at one meet they needed another person. He said senior Zach Smith told him to try it.

“I think I jumped like 5 foot, and he said, ‘You’re doing it,’ and so I did,” Levy said.

Levy said he learns by watching other people and working on his technique.

“I don’t have that much vertical advantage,” he said. “So I have to try to focus on my technique to get over the bar.”

Junior Austin Middleton, sopho-

more Mario Flores and freshman Andrew Mertel do the long jump for the Panther track squad.

“For me it’s mainly jumping in competition,” Middleton said. “It’s about me trying to beat my last attempt. It’s like trying to work against myself to do better.”

Middleton has jumped at least 15 feet in the long jump and his goal for this year is to get a jump of at least 16 feet. He said he learns to better himself in several ways.

“You have to learn to count your steps,” he said.

He said jumpers have to hit before the bar, so they don’t scratch and disqualify themselves.

“You have to get just in the right spot to get the max on length,” he said. “Mario (Flores) is awesome on long jump; I’ve learned a lot watching him.”

Flores was jumping 18 feet as an eighth-grader in the long jump

at Putnam County Junior High School but had to sit out his fresh-man year on the long jump due to a hand injury. He is very eager to get back to work this spring.

The long jump has interested him since junior high school.

“It was something new to me,” he said. “It was something differ-ent for me, a sprint and then a jump instead of all my long dis-tance events.”

Flores said that while he is com-fortable with how he jumps, he can always learn from others.

“In the meets when you see people jump I usually watch them and see what they are doing,” he said.

Flores is also doing the triple jump for the Panthers this season.

The Panthers’ track squad’s first home meet will be April 8 with Roanoke, Lowpoint-Washburn and St. Bede Academy.

be challenging, but Veronda feels she is up to doing well this season.

“I am kind of just doing it just to see how far I can go with it,” she said. “It is all really just about technique, so I really just work on my technique more.”

Veronda is learning from her father, Ray Veronda. She doesn’t like to watch other people at the meets she is in.

“My dad did the events while in high school,” she said. “If I watch people at meets I get psyched out, so I really don’t like to do it.”

Veronda said that both events are really just about technique.

“It’s really just about footing. I

dance, so it’s watching the feet,” she said. “I kind of just stick in my head when to let go.”

The Lady Panthers’ high jump representative is Kirsten Davis. Davis said her mom had done the event in high school, so it intrigued her.

“My mom always talked to me about doing the event,” she said. “Missy (Carlson) wanted me to do the long jump when I was in sixth grade, but I asked her if I could try high jump. I thought I might be pretty good at it.”

Davis broke the school high jump meet record of 5 feet, 6 inches at the sectional meet in the 2012 season.

Davis said she was excited to get going on this year’s season, and

training for the high jump is usu-ally a combination of things.

“I do a lot of jump roping,” she said. “I also do leg work outs. She (Carlson) makes me walk up and down the wall backwards in like a backbend kind of thing so I get my back muscles worked on.”

Long jump participants have to worry about disqualifying them-selves from the event by scratch-ing as well.

“There is a plane between the bar and the down side, and if you break that plane it’s a scratch,” she said.

Davis is only a sophomore this season and has the goal of aim-ing for state competition. Carl-son thinks she has the potential, because “she was only an inch off from going to state as a freshman.”

error in one of their at bats.

Coach John Cruz used four pitchers in the win over Dwight with Pavlov-ich (1-0), earning title as the winning pitcher for the game. DiazDeleon started the game, pitch-ing two innings, throwing eight first pitch strikes and giving up only one run. Pavlovich relieved him, tossing two innings, six first-pitch strikes and one strike out. Pavlovich gave up the only other two runs Dwight scored. Biagini pitched next toss-ing four first-pitch strikes and five strike outs and giving up no runs. Matt Magana closed the game with the final inning of shut out baseball.

Final total on the game had Putnam County with 10 runs, 13 hits, and three errors. Dwight had three runs, four hits and three errors in the loss.

March 28 had the Pan-thers traveling to Pontiac in an exhibition game. The Panthers had a strong showing beating their opponents 8-3. Putnam County scored one run in the second, third and

seventh innings. Their biggest inning was the fourth, when they scored five runs.

It was the Magana show at Pontiac with Magana batting three for four with two RBIs, a double, a sto-len base and three qual-ity at bats.

In Memory of

Hubert J. MennieSept. 25, 1942

toApril 12, 2009

Though death separates us for now, I know we’ll meet again.My tears will dry. No more I’ll cry and a new life will begin.

It’s hard to have to let you go and I still don’t understand.

It’s so hard when memories start to flow of all the good times that we planned.

Some days I sit upon the couch and your memory lingers on.I hear you laugh. I see your face and It’s here where you belong,

but then I stop and ask myself, “Would it be the best for you?”It’s not right to wish you back on earth, when I know what you went through.

Our God Is such a gracious God and he gives us each so much.He let me keep your memory near so we’d always be In touch.

Be free, My Love, I’ll let you go. Your life was not In vain.You touched so many lives on earthwith your laugh and through your pain.

I’ll live my life as God has planned. I’ll hold my head up high.I’ll treasure all the time we had and with that, I’ll say “good-bye”.

Onward the flow... I’m letting you go.Because I know... We’ll meet again!

Love, Cheryl

hiGhest deAler honor: the 2012 President’s AwArd

Every year Ford Motor Company honors dealerships who have gone above and beyond their customers’ expectations with the President’s Award.

What makes this award even more significant is that customers are the judges. Through a comprehensive survey, customers rate dealers on the basis of their sales, service and overall ownership experience.

This year, 320 Ford dealerships out of more than 3,200 were awarded this

high honor.“It’s a thrill to receive this

recognition from our customers,” says Al Cioni, owner of Al Cioni Ford, Inc.

“Making sure our customers are happy is what everyone who works

here strives for. And it takes real teamwork to make it happen. From the people who answer our phones to our sales folks to our technicians, everyone plays a part in customer satisfaction. I couldn’t be more proud of our staff. They’re the reason we’ve won this award,” emphasizes Al Cioni.

There has been a Ford dealership in Granville since 1934. The Cioni family has owned it since 1968.

Al Cioni Ford, Inc. is located at 504 S. McCoy St., Granville, IL. The service department phone number is 815/339-2511. Hours are 7-12 and 1-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and Saturday 8-12 and 1-3 p.m.

Fraud Alert! Illinois SMPEmpowering seniors to prevent healthcare fraud Fraud Alert Reader Saves His Mother from Utility Scam

His mother received a call from a "nice lady" claiming to be from the electrical company. This nice lady said

that there was damage to the mother's electrical system and that she would need to pay for repairs. The

mother called her son on her cell phone. The son encouraged his mother to tell the caller that she would not

answer and more questions and that she would be contacting the police. The caller hung up. Later, the son

called the electric company and verified that they were not trying to contact his mother for repairs. This

mother did the best thing by stopping to think about why the electric company would contact her for repair

money. She called a relative or friend to ask for a second opinion. The son also did a great thing by finding to

electric company's number in the phone book or online and calling to verify if this was legitimate.
