Story and Photos by Deanna Frautschi

Some of my favorite creatures at our small, ornamental pond are the dragonflies who visit in mid to late summer. They are dazzling insects with big eyes. They do not sting, contrary to some rumors. We have at least 147 species of dragonflies in Illinois and over 400 in North America. Dragonflies have been around for millions of years and used to be much larger than they are today. Most dragonflies hunt, meet their mates and lay eggs near wet areas so this is most likely where you will find them.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Dragonflies are winged insects from the order Odonata. Their bodies are typically two to five inches long with wings of similar length. Most often we see them flying around a wet area or perched on vegetation with their wings perpendicular to their bodies.

Although their bodies have three main parts (head, thorax and abdomen), it is often their large, compound eyes we notice first. Their eyes are very important in spotting small insect prey which they quickly dart out to capture and eat.

The thorax is the main part of the body to which the wings are attached. The abdomen contains the reproductive organs.

Males often defend territory around a water area by flying back and forth over it. They wait for a female to fly into their territory so they can begin a courtship ritual called a tandem flight.

Once the couple has mated, the female deposits her eggs (ovipositing) along submerged pond foliage or near pond habitat, depending on the dragonfly species. Most eggs hatch within a few weeks. Larvae will emerge and feed off worms, other in insect larvae or baby fish. As the larvae develop, they shed their outer skins and become the winged dragonflies we are most likely to see.

A good resource to help identify and learn about drag dragonflies is Stokes Beginner’s Guide to Dragonflies by Blair Nikula and Jackie Sones.

HEALTH & FITNESS CENTER

CATHERINE PORTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

So you are now Carle Health & that we uphold the safety of our members Fitness Center. What does that and employees as our number one priorname change mean for your cli- ity. ents and potential clients?

We are excited to officially transition What is your capacity tracker? to Carle Health & Fitness Center as of July 1, 2020. Clients will notice changes to the building signage and branding, but our passionate focus on delivering the best member and guest experience will remain the same. With our talented and compassionate team members, the experience in the facility will remain the same and our commitment to outstanding service, individualized support and an inclusive fitness community will remain strong.

Our approach has always been, and will continue to be, aimed at whole person health and wellness. We are anticipating, through collaboration with the expanded physician and care teams at Carle Health System, that our diverse menu of programs and services will continue to grow as additional needs of the community are identified.

How are you keeping your clients safe in this Covid-19 world? Can you explain your Pledge of Protection?

As a medically-integrated wellness facility, we are well positioned to operate safely, even with the challenges of coronavirus. We have always been passionately committed to understanding our members’ needs and exceeding their expectations to lead a healthy, happy life. In times such as these, our resolve remains stronger than ever. Our Pledge of Protection communicates our precautionary measures, helps to clarify what a member’s experience will be in the facility and promises

The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, in conjunction with the RESTORE Illinois plan, released detailed guidance at the end of May to assist many different industries with safely returning to business. One of the stipulations for safe re-opening of fitness centers is to reduce capacity by 50%. With the use of our very user-friendly app, we are able to show real time capacity of the center.

This allows our members to check the capacity tracker from home and know if it is a good time to visit the center.

It seems like some of your programs and services (i.e. group meditation, massage therapy) are especially timely in dealing with these stressful times. Are you seeing a change in what clients want in programming?

Our menu of programs and services illustrates how we offer more opportunities than traditional fitness centers. We understand that many people are in search of a well-rounded program that includes more than physical activity. Our mind and body programs, such as yoga, Pilates, Alexander Technique and meditation have remained in high demand for managing stress, relief from chronic pain, improving mindfulness and strength. Additionally, our massage therapy services, which are open to the community, are incorporated in

8 Limited Magazine | August 2020

some members’ wellness plans because of the known therapeutic benefits. Once we were able to return to operations in June, the overwhelming impact of these services was evident by the number of members and guests who returned for services.

Why is it important to start (or restart) a wellness regime?

Good and bad habits don’t happen overnight. Research shows it takes time to develop our habits and routines, wellness routines included. Disruption of our habits, especially when it is out of our control, takes dedication, discipline and acceptance of new behaviors to continue to be successful. The pandemic has introduced more challenges to maintaining our regular routines and active lifestyles.

It is so important to recognize that exercise is essential for physical and mental

Catherine Porter

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CARLE HEALTH & FITNESS CENTER

Can you briefly describe your variety of classes?

We evolved with the stay-at-home order and now offer a virtual only membership. This allows a member, who is not comfortable coming into the facility, a monthly chat with a fitness coach and our group fitness classes in the comfort of their own home.

For those coming to the center, membership privileges include access to group fitness classes, 40-yard turf track, two free weight areas, cardiovascular equipment, lap and hydrotherapy pool, well-appointed locker room with towel service, and your own fitness coach to help create that path to success. Due to the state guidelines our steam, sauna and whirlpool remain closed. Services for purchase include massage, personal or group training, dietitian services and health coaching.

The Training and Performance Center

offers an alternative 10,000 square feet of functional training space for all members.

We train youth athletes, starting at 8 years old, up to adult age groups. Our highly credentialed team of coaches focuses on the fundamental principles of sports performance including speed, strength, power and agility to allow each athlete reach their potential. Additional results for our young athletes include a boost in self-confidence and development of peer relationships.

We have some spectacular programs focusing on exercise for individuals with Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Developmental Disabilities and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. We also have family programs for Pre-and Post-Natal moms and a children’s guided exercise class called KickStart. The best thing about our programs is that you don’t have to be a member to attend them! Most programs are open to the community with a nominal fee.

Area employers, we are here to help with creating a healthy culture at work.

We offer on-site and virtual wellness services and can assist with the development and implementation of your strategic plans. Through our portal, we are able to provide fitness and wellness services even during the pandemic.

You have a diversely qualified Fitness team. Can you explain the benefits of having this team?

The power of the center comes from our dedicated teams of service and fitness professionals. Each team member is ap-

propriately degreed and credentialed for their role. Our diversely qualified team is an aspect that sets us apart from other gyms and allows members to gain from our fitness expertise as part of their everyday member experience. Our fitness team functions as an extension of the health care team, coalescing resources for the best outcome for all individuals regardless of their level of wellness. Often times the concept of Exercise is Medicine is thought to be used for only sick or rehabbing individuals but consider professional athletes and how important their exercise and wellness routine is to their success. Exercise is Medicine is appropriate for everyone!

You offer Friend Friday, membership referral and even 7-day free trial memberships. Why is now a good time for people to try Carle Health and Fitness?

We are open and welcome the community for a tour or FREE 7-day guest pass. This allows people to experience our culture of service, meet our team and see why the Carle Health & Fitness Center is right for you. It is a great time to try out the facility while we are maintaining 50% capacity, and get your individual wellness program started.

well-being, even more so during a pandemic. A regular exercise routine’s proven benefits include reducing stress, preventing weight gain, boosting the immune system and improving sleep. Add these noticeable benefits to the proven effects of a regular exercise routine on mitigation or management of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, cancer, depression, osteoporosis and reduces the chance of falls.

Women to Women Giving Cirlcle

giving circle maintains connections WITH COMMUNITY ISSUES, DESPITE COVID

story by Pat Grogg, photos provided to Limited

One of the core values of the Women to Women Giving Circle of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation is connecting to community issues. Since its inception in 2012 the group has sponsored twiceyearly community forums on issues that impact women and children. The topic planned for the April 21, 2020, Spring Forum was Resilience, but then there was COVID-19 and the issues multiplied!

Large gatherings had to be cancelled but the group’s concern for issues that impact women and children did not diminish. So, this year’s summer Caring Conversations for the Women to Women Giving Circle were Zoom meetings: June 23: “Schooling During a Pandemic” with Dayna Brown and Angie Grubic, both from Unit 5.

June 30: “A Conversation About Race” with Linda Foster of the NAACP and Doris Houston of Illinois State University.

July 9: “Local Food and Housing Insecurity” with Mary Ann Pullin of Home Sweet Home Ministries and Tara Ingham of Midwest Food Bank.* All of the Zoom programs were recorded and are available on the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation’s You-

Tube channel.

The sessions provide real insights about issues right here at home.

Some takeaways from the Schooling During a Pandemic include: -Schools not only provided remote learning, they provided breakfast and lunch! In Unit 5’s case, that was 130,000 meals from mid-March to mid-June.

-Teachers concluded that remote learning is not as good as personal in-the-classroom setting, but good at maintaining the importance of school and learning, and a caring presence in each child’s life. As Glenn School first grade teacher Angie Grubic said: “Nurturing growth is more important than measuring growth right now.”

-Schools had many community partners in meeting children’s needs: Midwest and Eastern Illinois Food Banks, Promise Councils, the Community Foundation, United Way. The June 30 speakers addressed what is going on today and what has happened in the past and the impact women can have on this issue. Foster spoke about how the Springfield

race riot led to the creation of the NAACP. Houston encouraged the listeners to seek out information about our history.

Both speakers encouraged us to stand together and have a conversation about race. Foster reminded the audience that what the NAACP achieves, they achieve for all. Our work is not done and blacks face an ongoing effort to be equal—in schools, in health care, in law enforcement. We need to continue to fight against racism and exam our biases so can live together in peace and harmony.

The Zoom sessions will help the Giving Circle as they consider what focus to give to its 2021 grants. Details about the upcoming grant cycle will be available on the ICPF website (www.ilprairiecf.org) in early September. *At time of writing, the July 9 Caring Conversation had not taken place.

PANTAGRAPH MEDIA

Get started at pantagraph.com/events Think carefully about the proposed terms of a divorce settlement The process of divorcing is often complex and difficult.

There are a few things that make this even more challenging. Having numerous assets or having an ex who is not willing to work to come to mutually agreeable terms are two of these.

Individuals might not want to think about having to battle things out in court, but it may be necessary if the settlement negotiations are not successful.

Negotiating the terms of the divorce requires that both parties in the matter be willing to compromise. In most cases, neither party is going to get everything they want. Being able to think clearly about how various arrangements impact them

may help as they evaluate the potential options.

It is usually best to think about what aspects of the end of the marriage they want to focus. For example, they might not care about what happens to the marital home, but they may want to keep their special art collection. In these cases, a strategy can be worked out that increases the chance of that happening. Determining what is truly important to them can also help them to save their energy for those matters.

Parties should think about the long-term implications of the settlement. This includes taking a look at how the arrangements will affect their finances in the future. Assets that are costly to keep up might not be ideal when they are trying to survive solely on their own in-

come. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the possible settlement options to ensure they make informed decisions.

We had waited all winter for Dad to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s load up and go to the lake.â&#x20AC;?

5 Questions with...

5 QUESTIONS WITH

by Kevin Barlow

Chairperson for the Bloomington-Normal Black History Project

with assistance from Jeff Woodard, director of marketing and community relations with the McLean County Museum of History

The Bloomington-Normal Black History Project “Still We Rise” program on Saturday, June 20 was done very well. How did you feel it went?

There were a lot of unknown factors taking the program to a virtual format. Our goal was to offer a program that was educational, informative and enjoyable. The primary focus of the Bloomington-Normal Black History Project is memorializing life experiences of Black residents. Our commemoration of Juneteenth allowed the community to hear a part of the life experiences of Dr. Charles and Dr. Jeanne Morris.

Their personal story is Black history, Black life in America.

We accomplished our goal and have received very positive feedback from attendees and those who have since viewed it.

A presentation is planned for Westminster Village residents in the near future. If you were not able to attend the Juneteenth event, the video recording is available on the McLean County Museum of History Facebook page.

I understand you would like to expand on the program. What things would you like to add?

It is important that the Bloomington-Normal Black History Project has the resources in order to continue the research and educational work of its founders. Juneteenth is the largest event that we host and believe it should be celebrated annually in our community. We ask that community businesses, government bodies, organizations and residents partner with us. The BNBHP would like to work with the school districts and universities/colleges to provide learning opportunities for youth and research opportunities for college students.

This year, because of the coronavirus pandemic, it had to be done virtually on-line. What are your plans for the future – such as where you will have it?

A Page From Our Past: Moraine View park opened in 1959. Since this is a community-wide event, it is very important to host it in a location that is accessible to all in our community. Miller Park is a great location for the Juneteenth celebrations because of the location and facilities available there.

4 Because of the current events, has this been a good time to promote your project and discuss the historical nature of Black history in McLean County?

Black history should be something that is a part of our daily lives and education. However, this unprecedented time has opened the eyes and hearts of many people. We have had friends and strangers reach out to committee members seeking to talk, to learn more about Black history and some have asked “what can I do?” We need our community to help ensure the future of the BNBHP though volunteers and resources. Our community has a rich history and having a program like the black history project and celebrating Juneteenth is a way to tell the story and celebrate that history.

5 How do you plan to keep the Juneteenth celebration continuing and expanding on what you had this year?

Through outreach and education about the project and Juneteenth. We hope to partner with others to be able to educate the community about black history in McLean County and in general. The events of 2020 have shown us that black history is not well known throughout our society and it is important we as a community change that dynamic. Through the BNBHP project, we can work on partnering with others in the area of education, business and governance to create opportunities for continual learning and programming. All it takes are volunteers and resources to be able to move beyond where we are today to be able to accomplish great things in Bloomington/ Normal, McLean County.

Nurses on Boards

building the health of the community:

ONE BOARD, ONE NURSE AT A TIME story by Pat Grogg, photos provided to Limited

Project brings together boards, advisory councils, commissions and new candidates.

Looking for a potential board member? Seeking a good citizen for an advisory council? Criteria include passionate, good thinkers, insightful problem solvers, strong communicators, dedicated to their profession, interested in improving the overall health of the community? Wouldn’t a nurse be a perfect choice?

Good idea, but how do I find a nurse who has a heart for community service? And, how does a nurse with that heart find a board on which to serve?

Well, either the board seeking a nurse, or the nurse, can become a part of Nurses on Local Boards (NOLB).

It began almost a year ago, with a group of area nurse leaders that the Mennonite College of Nursing at ISU cheerfully and gratefully refers

Nurse?

Board leader?

How to be a part of NOLB?

• Nurses can join the Nurses on Local Boards Roster by contacting MCN staff member Susan Lynch at slynch@ilstu.edu, 309-438-2174.

• Interested in learning more asap? Let Susan know, and a Zoom meeting can be set up with an experienced board member.

• Board nominating committees or those seeking potential board members -contact Susan for candidate information.

• Interested in the national movement to put more nurses on boards? nursesonboardscoalition.org

to as the “Brain Trust.” The College is a strategic partner in the national Nurses on Boards Coalition. Great, said the advisory group, but, the real impact of nurses on boards is local!

In a “Let’s Do It” mode, Nurses on Local Boards was launched.

ISU’s Mennonite College of Nursing maintains a roster of nurses interested in board membership.

Nurses on the register come from a variety of educational backgrounds and are affiliated with hospitals, doctor’s offices, public health, schools--the gamut of the nursing profession.

NOLB has been in place for less than a year, and connections are being made. Pre-COVID Lunch and Learn meetings were held for local board leaders and for interested nurses. When larger-than-ten meetings are again workable, new networking opportunities will be offered.

Meanwhile, the life of the community goes on, with the need for citizen input strong on many levels. “Getting citizen input is so important, and there are so many positions to fill,” said John McIntyre, chair of the McLean County Board.

McIntyre also referenced

the fact that governmental websites (Town of Normal, City of Bloomington, and McLean County) offer links for citizens to register if they are interested in appointments to boards or commissions.

Nurses are people who keep tabs on the needs of the community.

They make great additions to boards in the arts, government, social services-- to any group that seeks the participation of citizens dedicated to a worthy cause.

Local boards are the heartbeat of health in the community.

Whether it’s the park district or the library or the YW or the school Promise Councils, nurses can make a difference.

A board usually seeks a person who is a team player, who understands how to work toward a goal, with many competing bids for attention.

In an article in the July-Aug 2029 issue of Nursing Economics, that point is reinforced: “Always connected to the mission, they (nurses) understand the challenges, opportunities, and implications of decisions on many levels.”

A pre-COVID meeting brought together nurses interested in serving on boards with experienced board members.

Nurses on Boards

Right: Mercy Davison, Town Planner for Normal, and Seon Yoon Chung, nurse and university administrator, meet for an onsite chat about master planning for bike and pedestrian paths. Talk about immediate health benefits!

What’s happening in our towns?

Prairie Pride Coalition Board President David Bentlin reports two nurse connections: “Susan Carl is assisting us with an in-service training on lgbtqi+ healthcare needs which will be reactivated later this year. Susan has ICU and ER experience, and is currently on the Heartland College nursing faculty. Nurse and Mennonite College of Nursing Faculty member, Erin Reitz, is a member of the Prairie Pride Coalition Board.”

Donna Hartweg, Retired Director of IWU’s School of Nursing, with a long history board service, is enthusiastic about NOLB: “You can’t believe how much gets done at the local level.

These boards influence lives.”

Since nursing studies place such an emphasis on planning, she believes nurses bring excellent strategy and forward movement to any organization.

Susan Grant, whose nursing specialty is public health, retired from the McLean County Health Department. She has accepted an appointment with the McLean County Regional Planning Commission, serving on the Steering Committee for the Vision Zero Action Plan (working to reduce injuries and deaths from traffic accidents.)

Seon Yoon Chung, whose RN and PhD have earned her an Associate Dean position in the Mennonite College of Nursing, has

made a rewarding connection with Mercy Davison, Planner for the Town of Normal. Seon is a member of the Steering Committee which is updating the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan for the Town.

As Ms. Davison says, “People don’t know what opportunities there are to serve and pursue a personal passion as well. It makes sense for the Town to look for input from underrepresented groups who have so much to add to public life.”

Many boards have expressed interest in attracting a nurse to their memberships. They are as wide-ranging as MarcFirst, the McLean County Arts Center, Collaborative Solutions, Easterseals, and the Illinois Symphony Orchestra--community health is not just the province of health care, is it?

Judy Neubrander, Dean of the ISU Mennonite College of Nursing, sums up NOLB: “It simply makes good business sense to have the nursing perspective represented in all places where decisions are made, including corporate, governmental, nonprofit, advisory, governance boards, commissions, panels, or task forces that have fiduciary or strategic responsibility.”

Chuck’s Closes

an era

THE END OF The end is here for Chuck’s Harley-Davidson, Inc. in Bloomington.

Just 19 months shy of five decades of sales and service to McLean County, Chuck’s Harley-Davidson closed on July 3. Owner Winnie Feken said the company is eliminating the franchise from its dealer group.

On On Sunday, June 7, Winnie was a reluctant honoree for a retirement party at the business at 2027 Ireland Grove Road.

“It feels like the obituary for a small business.”

The dealership, which sold new and used Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a complete line of mechanical accessories, clothes, merchandise and apparel, had 15 employees.

The store opened Jan. 1, 1972, fulfilling a dream of Chuck Feken, a professional motorcycle racer, who wanted his own motorcycle shop in Bloomington.

He had already been a 13-year employee of Sodie’s Cycle Center on Morrissey Drive. At that time, Roger Soderstrom, also an accomplished racer and owner of the shop, owned the franchisee license for Harley-Davidson.

When he announced he was ready to sell, the Fekens applied and were rewarded the local franchise.

But just eight years later and at the young age of 40, Chuck died from cyanide-poisoning from repainting old cycles. Winnie didn’t ride, but enjoyed the business, the employees and the customers. She

carried on and the business grew into one of the company’s most successful dealerships. At one time, it had 30 employees, she said.

Her sister, Lois, is vice president and active in the store. Both say they have been involved with motorcycling since 1963 and have been on several trips throughout the entire country, including Sturgis and

Thousands of motorcyclists attended Sunday’s event at the dealership, which included the Christian Motorcyclists Association’s annual “Blessing of the Bikes.” A long line of motorcyclists — some riding Harley Davidsons and some not — weaved bikes through the parking lot.

Members of CMA prayed in groups over each individual, handing them

stickers and a Bible passage at the end of the blessing.

“For me today, like I am sure a lot of other people, is bittersweet for me,” said Tony Dixon of Bloomington. “When you think about the rich history of motorcycles in Bloomington-Normal, Chuck’s is at the top of the list.”

friend, Jonathan Pritchard of Normal, “but everyone in town has heard of Chuck’s for one reason or another. They do a lot for the community and they do a lot for the motorcycle community.”

Feken said that community has been more than supportive since the announcement was made official.

“This is sad for me,” she said.

“This has been my life and it’s what I know.”

As for the future, Feken has not yet decided.

“I will miss the people,” she added. “We have had a lot of great employees over the years, but so many of them have passed away, which makes times like this even tougher.”

TELEVISION

Mandy Jo Ganieany, a union organizer from Normal, headed off to Northeast Wyoming’s cattle country for her first-ever crossbow hunt for a trophy whitetail for an episode of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) Brotherhood Outdoors TV series.

Director of Organizing for Painters District Council 30 in Aurora, Ganieany is a 16-year union veteran. She began as an apprentice drywall finisher and advanced to industrial painting and finishing before becoming District Council 30’s first female organizer. A quick learner on the job, she also has been honing her hunting skills for six years and is proficient with both a shotgun and compound bow.

Ganieany breaks new ground in the rolling hills outside Gillette, Wyoming, when she picks up a crossbow in an effort to tag a big whitetail.

“I was in Wyoming for five days,” explained Ganieany.

“It was my first time out west. I have only hunted here in Illinois. Hunting is a passion for my entire family. We use the meat we harvest each year to feed our family. So to be chosen for this experience, I was beyond excited. I paid to have the meat from my hunt processed and then donated the meat to the local soup kitchen in Gillette, Wy. I felt it was important that the deer should feed the people in the town where he was from.“ The show opens with Ganieany at the shooting range where

she combines her shotgun and archery skills to quickly master the technical side of shooting a crossbow. Then, it is on to Wyoming where the hunters encounter several quality bucks over several days, until they establish a bedding/feeding pattern for the one she wants.

“

I felt it was important that the deer should feed the people in the town where he was from.

“The best part for me was being in the woods and knowing my time spent, if successful, will put food on someone’s table who might not otherwise have it, said Ganieany. “ A hard-working single mother raised me, and I understand how hard some have to work just to put food on their table.

“Mandy Jo credits her union for providing her with more opportunities than she ever dreamed possible—including her hunt with Brotherhood Outdoors,” said Kate Nation, communications manager for Union Sportsmen. “She was extremely grateful for the experience, well-prepared and confident that she would be ready to make a successful shot when the right buck came along.

Ganieany’s extraordinary hunt on Brotherhood Outdoors aired on the Sportsman Channel in early July.

A

sk ten different commercial real estate professionals what will happen to the market due to COVID-19 and you’ll probably get ten very different answers.

Articles on the subject abound with phrases like “sudden and significant,” “market risks,” and “uncertainty.”

Many articles try to tackle commercial real estate as a whole, but commercial real estate is a vast topic. It encompasses everything from large investment REIT’s to small local landlords. It includes all property types, from retail, office and industrial buildings, to multi-family, to commercial lots and development land. It covers both investors and users, as well as tenants. In addition, the topic includes all markets, big and small, from New York City to Bloomington-Normal.

There is no single answer as to how COVID will affect all these different players.

It is largely a matter of perspective. Yes, there has been a significant public market selloff of certain types of properties.

Yes, the retail market, which was

already struggling, is taking a harder hit than some of the other commercial property sectors.

And yes, there are plenty of nervous landlords and tenants, worried about rent payments.

But what is happening here in our community? Will we see major fall out in our commercial real estate market?

People ask me all the time how our market is faring, and the truth is, it’s too soon to tell. We’ll know more in six to twelve months, but the initial indications are surprisingly good. Activity was strong in April, but much of that was due to momentum from activity happening prior to COVID. However, as we move into the summer months, activity remains healthy, with buyers and tenants touring and making offers on properties that were available long before the pandemic hit.

Things will change. There is no question about that. Some changes will be temporary, and others will be permanent. While change does cause uncertainty, it doesn’t necessarily mean a net

negative. It will be difficult for some businesses, while others will thrive. Negative shifts are frequently balanced by positive shifts elsewhere. Airlines, hotels, brick and mortar retailers, and others will have to work hard to redefine themselves, but on the flip side, opportunity will abound for delivery services, video conferencing hardware and software, e-learning platforms, etc.

Adapting to new requirements will be key, but there will be plenty of businesses that do so successfully, as well as new businesses that seize fresh opportunities. BloomingtonNormal has a history of resiliency, and this chapter in history will be no different.

BLOOMINGTON — Chuck’s Harley-Davidson Inc. owner Winnie Feken was the reluctant honoree for a retirement party June 7 at the business at 2027 Ireland Grove Road, Bloomington, which closed July 3, just 19 months shy of five decades of sales and service to McLean County, after the company eliminated the franchise from its dealer group.

Planting ahead of last year‌

BLOOMINGTON — Central Illinois farmers were happy to hear the U.S. Department of Agriculture report in early June that all but 2% of the corn had been planted in Illinois, a marked improvement from the same point last year, when only 65% of the corn crop had been planted in an unusually wet spring.

BLOOMINGTON — Rebuilding consumer confidence to encourage people to shop — and be safe — as restrictions are eased amid the COVID-19 pandemic was the goal behind the “CommUNITY Confident” campaign, which was launched June 18 with window decals distributed to McLean County businesses that signed a pledge to protect the health and safety of their customers and employees.
