GRANVILLE — On a sunny August afternoon, residents from through-out the county descended on Darrell Alleman’s base-ball field as, for one night, it would become a true “Field of Dreams.” As it turns out, that’s now an official designation.
The Putnam Coun-ty Rotary Club hosted a “Field of Dreams” night at Alleman’s farm north of Granville. Alleman built his own “Field of Dreams” on his farmland, inspired by the movie to give peo-ple another place to play ball and to proclaim his love for the sport.
In keeping with the theme, an inflatable screen was rented and the movie “Field of Dreams” was shown. Frank Dardis — one of the ghost play-ers from the movie — was invited to come out and visit with the crowd and play ball with area ball-playing youngsters.
Dardis decided not to come alone and brought seven other players from the “Field of Dreams” Movie Site, a museum/park that has started at the Dyersville, Iowa, film site. Together with Marv Maiars, Randy Olberding, Mike Ehlers, Tyler Swig-gle, Charlie Huberty, Larry Schultz and Mike Schus-ter, Durdis emerged from the cornfield next to Alle-man’s ball diamond while music from the movie played.
Dardis presented Alle-man with a plaque, desig-nating his field as an Offi-cial “Field of Dreams” ball diamond and a similar plaque will be displayed at the Iowa site. Dardis also told the assembled crowd the team would be return-ing to this field once a year
for the foreseeable future.After the plaque pre-
sentation, the ghost play-ers grabbed several of the children in attendance for
a combination baseball game/comedy routine before the movie.
“We love doing this,” Myers said. “We’ve been
to other states and other countries with the ghost players, and if we could come out to ballfields like this, we’d do it everyday.”
MARK — More jobs may be coming to Mark. Mayor Frank Niewinski told the village board at its Aug. 5 meeting a busi-ness expressed interest at the latest enterprise zone meeting.
“TCI Industries bought
a company and would be relocating a quarry over here,” Niewinski said.
Niewinski also informed the board the village’s enterprise zone expires in two years. However, the committee is already working on getting an extension for another 10 years.
“I think it’s very impor-tant everyone supports
the enterprise zone because we’ve had some businesses come to these meetings, and they want to know if we’re extend-ing the zone or not,” Nie-winski said. “We don’t know because the per-mit’s not up. For some of these companies, it’s a make-or-break deal, so it’s important taxing bod-ies stay behind it.”
In other action, the board:
• Learned bids had been opened for the upcoming asphalt project for village streets. The bids came in $12,000 lower than the village estimate, Niewin-ski said. The approval of the bids will take place at the next meeting.
• Received accolades for the Mark Celebration on
Aug. 2. Attendance was lighter this year compared to last, but response was enthusiastic. This year’s fireworks display in par-ticular was singled out.
• Discussed water meters for the village. Estimates for replacing all of the current meters are approximately $50,000 plus installation. Niewin-ski put forth the idea of
switching to a flat rate based on previous usage with a quarterly read of the current meters to allow for usage adjust-ment. The idea of charg-ing customers for meter replacement was also briefly discussed.
• Renewed the contract for village decorations with a three-year contract at a cost of $2,450.
GRANVILLE — It may soon be easier to look up village ordinances in Gran-ville. Board Member Jim Pettit told the village board during its meeting on Aug. 5 he would like see the vil-lage’s ordinances codified and listed on the village website.
“We need to look at the expense of codifying our ordinances and putting them online,” Pettit said. “That way residents will know the ordinances or can look them up easier.”
“Our current system doesn’t work,” board mem-ber Lou Verda said. “You try to look through that (ordi-nance) book, and you can’t figure it out.”
The village looked into the process before, but took no action at the time. Vil-lage Clerk Traci Haage said the cost then was approxi-mately $1,000, which
included some updates. Currently, the village has 655 ordinances.
In other action, the board:• Discussed the current
liquor regulations for out-door events. Verda would like to charge a $50 fee to the liquor establishments for selling beer and other bev-erages during special events like Granville Days. Full dis-cussion will take place at a board meeting with the full board present, as village President Doug Gimbal was absent this week.
• Learned from village engineer Mike Richetta the Motor Fuel Tax seal coat spray patch will be let out for bids on Aug. 18.
• Discussed street proj-ects that board members felt had not been completed by the contractors hired for the projects.
• Thanked local law enforcement and emergen-cy departments for assisting the village in running the Granville Days Cruise-in on Aug. 1.

MCNABB — The roots of American music will be displayed and discussed at the Putnam County Library McNabb branch at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 18. Noted guitarist Jim Kanas will present the program on bluegrass and jazz, as well as the European and African styles that influenced the music of America.
“There’s a common thread that runs through America’s roots music, and it includes a lot of instruments and styles we’ve gathered from other cultures. It’s all part of a living oral tradition,” Kanas said. “The pro-gram features guitar, but I also play native Ameri-can flute, banjo, spoons, dobro and several other instruments during the program.”
Kanas has a music pedi-gree that proves he knows his material. In addition to earning a graduate studies degree at North-ern Illinois University, he has been an Illinois Arts Council Artist-in-Resi-dence since 1983. He has played at venues in the company of Pat Methany, George Benson and Alli-
son Krause among others, and won awards for his musicianship.
Kanas’ “American Roots Music” program includes audience par-ticipation with hands-on performance and call-and-response songs. He is certified by Illinois as a K-12 music teacher. Through it all, Kanas is not only teaching music but still learning.
“I’m learning the Cajun button accordion right now,” Kanas said. “Cajun music is such a neat genre. The music is German in origin, which
is odd for a culture that speaks French.”
Kanas’ program starts with the folk tradition and moves into swing jazz and bluegrass.
“Then I dip into some eclectic music,” Kanas said. “There are lots of music styles that were influenced by bluegrass and jazz.”
Funding for the pro-gram was made possible through a grant from the Illinois Valley Fine Arts Trust and the Illinois Arts Council. The program is free and open to the pub-lic.

5,000 same-sex marriages reported
in IllinoisBy chriSti Warren
Shaw Media Services
More than 5,000 same-sex couples have been married in Illinois since the law allowing same-sex marriages took effect on June 1, according to a news release from Equal-ity Illinois, an LGBT advocate organization.
The survey of Illinois counties conducted by Equality Illinois found that at least 3,274 mar-riage licenses were issued, and 1,694 civil unions were converted to marriages.
Numbers recorded in area counties, accord-ing to Equality Illinois, include: Putnam County — one civil union license converted to a marriage license; Henry County — two civil union licenses converted to marriage licenses; LaSalle County — 10 civil union licenses converted and six mar-riage licenses; Marshall County — none; and Bureau County — two civil union conver-sions and one marriage license. These numbers are all taken from the Equality Illinois survey.
Tracking the exact number is a challenge because the 102 Illinois counties’ record-keeping systems vary. The sur-vey found some coun-ty clerks combined the licenses and conversions into one number. Other counties – including DeKalb – said they treat all marriages the same, and thus do not keep a record of the same-sex marriages. If they had, the number of newly recorded same-sex mar-riages would easily be over 5,000.
Five counties didn’t respond to the sur-vey, the news release says, and nine counties reported no licenses or conversions issued.
The survey found that most of the marriages happened in Cook Coun-ty with 2,370 new licens-es and 800 conversions being reported.
Rock Island County was another county with a large number of mar-riages. According to the survey, it reported 108 marriage licenses and 62 civil union conversions.

MAGNOLIA – The self professed “master facili-tator of fun” Mr. Steve’s Magic, Music and Balloon-ing show will be at 7 p.m. on Aug. 16 during Magno-liAffaire. The show will be sponsored by the Putnam County Library.
“I present a show of magic, ballooning, music and more,” Steve Lun-dquist said. “The ‘and more’ part will include some contests on stage.”
Lundquist notes his show is very audience driven, and he enjoys lots of audience participation. This means the show can be quite different every time he presents. Lun-dquist has performed all over the United States and also in South Africa for 23 years.
“I started with just music. Then I expanded into the magic. I just do some simple tricks. Then I added the ballooning and the contest piece,” he said.
A friend of Lundquist had a magic shop where
he used to stop by to pick up things for his shows. He started picking up things as he pointed out here and there and decided it would be a good idea to bring this into his performances.
Lundquist has a 29 song CD titled, “Elephants & Kangaroos/Wonderful Things I Remember.” He
uses a lot of this self written music in his shows.
The show is not a solo act. Lundquist has a stuffed monkey named Stumper that is also part of his act. The contests include feats of skill and name that tune that are geared towards children. All winners receive prizes.

Ficek Electric wins state contractLASALLE — Jennifer
Bias, president of Ficek Electric and Communi-cations Inc., LaSalle, has announced that on July 8, the state of Illinois officially awarded Ficek Electric and Communications a multi-year, multi-million dollar telecom maintenance con-tract.
Ficek Electric outbid AT&T to win the initial one year state-wide contract last year. Backed by a 98.9 percent approval rating, Ficek Electric was, again, Illinois’ choice in 2014, and will continue to provide ongoing maintenance for telephone systems within all state agencies, as well as the installation of any new telephone systems
and structured low voltage cabling projects as need-ed throughout the next 10 years.
“I’m thrilled to have won this contract,” said Bias. “It’s a great victory for a small, but dedicated, fam-ily-owned business. I’m excited to see Ficek Electric evolve, succeed and create new employment opportu-nities along the way. With last year’s contract, we gen-erated nearly 30 new jobs locally and across the state. With this new contract, we hope to add another 25 to 30 employees. Employees are key to our company’s success, and that is most important to me. By grow-ing and succeeding as a team, we all benefit.”
In February of 2012, Bias won a $115,000 technology “make-over” prize from the WBENC (Women’s Busi-ness Enterprise National Council). The company was also named the NDIA (National Defense Indus-try Association) Illinois/ Iowa Small Government Contractor of the year later in the year, and Bias was featured on the cover story of the summer 2012 edi-tion of Tri-County Women magazine.
Ficek Electric and Com-munications Inc. was established by Bill Ficek in 1976. Joining the company in 1979, Jennifer took over as the company’s owner and president upon her father’s retirement in 2005.

HENNEPIN — Ali Cuicci, 12 and sis-ter Gracie Cuicci, 9 along with Ian Roach, 12 have been awful busy this summer. The trio have been chasing little white balls around beautiful, lush green lawns, otherwise known as the sport of golf.
The three Putnam County residents have had extraordinary success this year plying their trade in Bloomington, Spring Valley, Pontiac, and Ottawa on the junior golf summer circuit.
Often stepping up and playing in older age divisions, they have bought home multiple trophies and worked tenaciously to improve their individual golf games against golfers from Mis-souri, Florida and even South Africa.. Each have a favorite course they have conquered.
“I like the Spring Creek course, (Spring Valley) I like those holes,” Ali Cuicci said.
“I really like the Bloomington tour-nament, (Country Youth Classic,) Gra-cie Cuicci said. “People come from like all over and you get to see professional people and stuff.”
Ian Roach said, “I like Bloomington too. It was a lot of different competi-tion. Next year I want to be a lot better player and be in the higher level of competition.”
The three took on the competition at the first Pine Hills Golf Tournament in Ottawa and each took first place in their respective divisions. Roach also took second place in the 14-17 age group at the Spring Creek Golf Course
Junior League tournament. Ali Ciucci brought home a second place trophy at the Prep Tour Pontiac Open as well as the Baker Park Tournament. Gracie Ciucci took a fifth place in the Coun-try Youth Classic; a third place in the Spring Creek League as well as a fourth place at the Baker Park Tournament in the 7th and 8th grade division.
Learning how to better themselves is an ongoing process.
Both Ali and Gracie Ciucci note that their dad, Eric Ciucci helps them out a lot.
Gracie also admits to watching oth-ers as they golf to help her game out.
Roach discovered that knowing his woods game was a problem for him this summer but has worked hard to improve in this area.
From last summer to this one, a lot has changed in each of their golf games. It has made each one a more confident and comfortable golfer.
Roach said, “I’ve really focused down on the ball. I’ve kept my head down. It was problem for my game. I’m getting more greens and more pars.”
“I’ve just practiced more and I’ve liked it more than I thought I would,” Ali Ciucci said.
“I’ve been playing with Ali’s group a lot and that’s made me a better play-er,” Gracie Ciucci said.
A year from now, all three see them-selves still playing golf.
Roach still practices over the winter in the family’s backyard as do both the Ciucci girls in their own backyard. Each agree that keeping their hand in the game is important to become bet-ter players.

Lady Pumas win Seneca Kickoff TournamentBy Dixie SchroeDer
SENECA — The Putnam County Junior High School Lady Pumas kicked off the 2014 fall campaign with a perfect 3-0 record in the Seneca Kickoff Tournament Aug. 9.
Game one had Putnam County facing Maxon-Verona-Kinsman and winning by a final score of 6-1. Haley Cioni gave up two hits over five innings along with 10 strikeouts and four walks with one earned run.
The Lady Pumas had little trouble with the opposition scoring one in the first inning two in each of the second and third innings along with a final run in the fourth. Leading hitters included Lindsey DiazDeLeon who was three for three with Madi Solomon and Kenzie Edens hitting one for two in the contest.
Putnam County then faced Gardner South Wilmington in game two and came out a 10-5 winner in four innings. The team jumped out in front in the first inning, scoring four runs, then added two
more in the third and the final four runs in the fourth inning. DiazDeLeon and Liles led the Lady Puma offensive charge, going two for three each in the contest. Early season nerves caused both teams to make two errors each. Solomon pitched two innings, giving up one earned run on two hits and had four walks and two strikeouts. Edens, (1-0) finished the con-test giving up one hit, two walks and a strikeout the last two innings of the game.
In the final game of the day PC faced host Seneca and came out on top with a 6-0 victory in five innings. Early season loose defensive plays had PC tagged with one error and Seneca with four errors.
Cioni, (2-0) again pitched and earned the win, giving up five hits, three strike-outs and two walks in the game. Offen-sively, Liles led the team going two for three and Madilyn Dzierzynski hit one for two in the contest.
The wins marked the third year in a row that the Lady Panthers have won this tournament and gone undefeated. The next home game for the Lady Pumas is Aug. 15 at 4:15 p.m. versus Princeton.
