In like a lion, out like a lamb Princeton’s Ace Hardware’s Lindsay Pierson weighs some grass seed which will eventually help provide another lush and green lawn within the community. Now that March is coming to end we will have April showers to anticipate. Those, of course, will bring May flowers. With our sudden snowstorm this past week, another old gardening saying comes to mind: Spring snow is the poor man’s fertilizer. The thought behind this saying is when a late snow occurs, the nitrogen from the air is accumulated into the snow. As it gradually melts, the nitrogen is absorbed into the soil rather than washing away as it does during a rainstorm. This provides the growing plants with a tiny boost of natural fertilizer. As the weather has warmed and the days begin to grow longer, many have begun the process of planning for the next growing season. Stores everywhere have begun to prepare for their customers who will be continuing their various outdoor projects. Plants, seeds, pots, tools, mulch, decor and landscaping equipment will now be front and center as the weather continues its journey through spring. IVS photo/Dave Cook

Dustin Lynch to headline county fair country show Tickets will go on sale April 2 PRINCETON — The Bureau County Fair has announced Dustin Lynch will headline the 2016 Bureau County Fair’s annual country concert on Thursday, Aug. 25. Since releasing his platinum debut single, “Cowboys And Angels,” Lynch has catapulted onto the country music scene. Racking up more than 45.9 million views on YouTube/VEVO, notching 91.5 million plus streams on Spotify, soaring to No. 1 on the MTV Music Meter and selling 2.9 million digital singles, he brings a fresh combination of traditional influences and edgy intensity to the genre. Producers Mickey Jack Cones, Brett Beavers and Luke Wooten showcase his progressive sound throughout his sophomore album, “Where It’s At” (Broken Bow Records), which delivered consecutive No. 1 smashes — “Hell Of A Night” and platinum-certified, multi-week chart-topper “Where It’s At” — and his latest Top 25-and-climbing single, “Mind Reader.” Debuting at No. 1 on the iTunes Country Albums Chart upon release, the album has tallied more than 1 million tracks sold to date. Lynch recently launched his first headlining Hell Of A Night Tour, which already claims advance sellouts in Chicago, Anaheim, San Diego and Denver. He has joined Luke Bryan’s Kill The Lights Tour, marking his second nationwide run with the superstar, and has previously opened for Keith Urban. Rave reviews continue to stack up for the high-energy performer with Rolling Stone coining Lynch as Luke

A PJ party: A fun event on a worrisome journey Breast cancer survivors are invited to enjoy an evening of relaxation, fun By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Pink Ribbon Club is gearing up to host its second Pink PJ Party at the AmericInn in Princeton on Friday, April 15, and Saturday, April 16. The overnight event brings together breast cancer survivors from all over the Illinois Valley and provides a fun, relaxing evening for them to kick back and take a break from the worries and stress endured on their journeys with cancer. The party includes an evening of manicures, pedicures, massages, facials, Reiki therapy, pizza and other fun options for relaxation. There is also a PJ pageant, where participates decorate, coordinate and “bling” their PJs before showcasing them on the grand stairway of the hotel lobby. Sonnie Blocki, Pink Ribbon Club founder, said the club hosts this party to have fun and be silly, just because it feels so good. “Laughter is good for our souls,” she said. “Who didn’t like a good PJ party growing up? It brings back

great feelings and creates great memories. Our 2014 participants still talk about the party.” The 2014 event brought together about 25 area survivors, and Blocki is expecting to see about that many again this year. “Some stay overnight and some just come for the night. Whatever makes it fun,” she said. Abbie Cochran of Princeton was one of the attendees in 2014. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2014 at the age of 31. Cochran underwent a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. Her treatments ended in September 2014, and since then, she has been cancer free. Cochran admits she had some hesitations about attending the PJ Party. The day before she had just shaved her head and began wearing a wig. “Then I figured, what better place to debut the new (hair)do than with a bunch of people who can relate. So it was great timing and gave me the confidence I needed to go to

other public places,” she said. Cochran said once she was at the party, the worries fell away, and she had a great time. “It was so nice to relax and be pampered after all I had been through. The social time you get with other survivors is invaluable,” she said. “Still being fairly new to my own personal cancer journey, it was important to surround myself with other survivors and to do that in a fun, light-hearted environment.” Cochran highly recommends this event to other survivors needing a night of relaxation and enjoyment. “It’s impossible to leave this event without having fun, being relaxed, pampered, feeling inspired and hopefully with a new friend,” she said. Lorraine Hamilton of Peru was another attendee at the 2014 PJ Party. Hamilton was diagnosed with Stage 3B Triple Negative Breast Cancer 14 years ago at the age of 45. She had eight chemo treatments over six months, followed

by a mastectomy and 33 radiation treatments. She has since been breast cancer, however, five years ago she was diagnosed with a rare leukemia. The diagnosis is an active malignant blood cancer which has remained stable and is currently being monitored. “There was something so wonderful about bonding with a group whose common denominator is cancer, but cancer was never a part of the experience,” she said. “It was so much fun. Still makes me laugh to think about it.” Hamilton said she hopes everyone who attended in 2014 will be back, along with many new survivors from around the area. “It’s great to take a break from cancer no matter what stage of the journey you’re on,” she said. Nancy Jackson of Mendota was diagnosed with Lymphedema in 2011 during her yearly mammogram. It didn’t come as much of a shock to her as she had lost both her mother and brother to cancer, and had watched another brother battle and

Workcamp 2016 looking for volunteers PRINCETON — The Covered Bridge (Princeton) Workcamp is looking for volunteers for the week of the event, June 19-25, and also before and after the event. These volunteers would be support personnel for the 250 to 300 teenage and adult volunteers coming from around the country to actually do the work. People interested in helping can contact Diane Christianson at 815878-3708 or email her at DianeC61356@yahoo.com to receive an application form to volunteer. The application can also be done on line at PrincetonWork-

camp2016.org under the “Volunteer” tab. Workcamp will make free home repairs for elderly, disabled and lower-income residents in Princeton and surrounding towns within 30 minutes of Princeton. The application process to be eligible for home repair is closed, with 101 applications currently being reviewed for the final selection of 40 to 50 possible sites to be recipients of this free home repair. St. Matthews Lutheran Church-Princeton, in conjunction with Evangelical Covenant Church-Princeton, First Lutheran

Church-Princeton, First Lutheran Church-Ohio, St. John Lutheran (Church on the Hill)-Princeton, Christ Community Church-Princeton, First Presbyterian Church-Princeton, Princeton Rotary Club, Princeton Jaycees, Malden Lions Club, DuPont-Pioneer Seeds, Key Builders, Carter and Becky Sorenson, Princeton Elementary District 115 and the city of Princeton are co-sponsors of this project and are working with other area churches, service organizations and community volunteers to bring Workcamp to the Princeton area.

beat prostate cancer. Today, Jackson is still taking a chemo pill and will do so for two more years. Along her journey with cancer, Jackson met Blocki, who asked her to help start up the website and support group for the Pink Ribbon Club. “I have the greatest family and friends, but none of them truly get what I and the other breast cancer survivors have gone through and will continue to go through. The women in the Pink Ribbon Club get it. They lived it and continue to live with a certain amount of fear that it will come back, and with the side effects of the surgeries, the chemo and the radiation. We see our scars every time we look in the mirror, and we have a certain amount of scars the human eye cannot see,” she said. Jackson commended Blocki for being so giving of her time for the Pink Ribbon Club. “She is our backbone of our group,” she said. Jackson was also an attendee at the 2014 PJ

Party and said it was a blast and a great opportunity to meet and talk with more survivors. “My daughter, Rachel, came with me. At breakfast the next morning, Rachel said, ‘This was so not what I thought it was going to be like. I thought we were going to sit in a circle, tell our sad stories and pass the Kleenex box,’” she said. “There were tears there, but only from laughing so hard.” Jackson hopes more survivors attend this year’s event. She said it’s a great way to know more of the Pink Ribbon Club women at a deeper level. “I really formed deeper relationships at the event, and we still laugh about some of our memories at the meetings now,” she said. The AmericInn of Princeton is donating rooms for the event. Those interested in attending may bring family and friends. RSVPs must be made by Friday, April 8.

If it is too thick, you can warm the sauce up in the microwave for a few seconds so it is easier to pour. Put one cup of the marshmallows on top of the fudge. Pour the milk into a bowl and add pud-

ding mix. Beat with an electric mixer for about two minutes. Using a spoon to mix, stir in half of the whipped topping. Pour the pudding mixture on top of the marshmallows. Spread the pudding evenly on the pie crust with a spatula. Put the rest of the marshmallows and the mini chocolate chips on top of the pudding. If you want, you can use the rest of the whipped topping on top of this dessert. Cover with foil and put in the refrigerator for at least two hours before eating it. * If you like marshmallow creme more than marshmallows, you can make it with that instead. And if you really like graham crackers and you have some around the house, you can crush a couple and sprinkle the crumbs on top of the pie.

Good books A review of R.L. Stine’s ‘Night of the Living Dummy’ I have recently read a book called “Night of the Living Dummy” by R.L. Stine. Like a lot of Stine’s Goosebumps books, it ends with a twist. In the book, Lindy and Kris are twin sisters, and they always copy each other. This is probably the last time Kris will copy Lindy.

I liked this book because of the twists and details that are important at the end. You’ll like this book if you like mystery, suspense and the supernatural. This concludes the book review. If you have read an interesting book lately, you could submit your own book review to me at coolkidscorner@outlook.com.

BISHOP HILL — Spring Jubilee has deep roots in Bishop Hill. After that first, long, cold winter in 1846, the pioneers were eager to celebrate the jubilee that is spring. The folks who live and work in Bishop Hill today will celebrate spring jubilee from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 2, with crafts, exhibits and programs that invite families to enjoy the season.

Source Water Assessment

Source of Drinking Water

DE PUE

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-878-2117 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl. Source of Water: DE PUE The Illinois EPA does not consider the source water of DePue's wells to be susceptible to IOC, VOC, SOC, or pathogenic contamination. This determination was made based on the identification of potential sources and routes of contamination, land-use activities around the wells, available hydrogeologic data, and monitoring results. Materials reviewed included the Well Site Survey Report, published in 1989, and subsequent investigations conducted in the DePue area. The evaluation of existing information identified two activities within the 1,000 foot Phase I Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) of the wells and one additional activity outside of the WHPA. Map code 62556 is a Casey’s General Store gas station that is also the location of a leaking underground storage tank (LPC# 0110305003). The Village of DePue has enacted a Restricted Groundwater Use Ordinance in this area that prohibits the installation of potable water supply wells. The Illinois EPA Division of Land Pollution approved this ordinance (I.D. R09102301) on October 10, 2009. Additional information regarding this ordinance can be found at: http://epadata.epa.state.il.us/land/gwordinance/.The remaining identified activity within the WHPA is the DePue/New Jersey Zinc/Mobil Chemical Corp. Superfund site boundary (map code 24968) that intersects the WHPA of DePue’s wells. The DePue/New Jersey Zinc/Mobil Chemical Corp. site operated between 1905 and 1990 and was utilized primarily for zinc smelting and sulfuric acid manufacturing, paint pigment production, and ammonium phosphate fertilizer production. An additional leaking underground storage tank (map code 24969) was identified outside the WHPA of DePue’s wells but within the boundary of the Superfund site. The underground storage tanks were removed and the site received a “no further remediation” certification from the Illinois EPA on April 3, 2013.
