Progress before payment Spring Valley aldermen looking for integral results from local business before investing By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com
SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council discussed the details of a facade grant application on Monday, June 6, as they were concerned with providing money to renovate the exterior of a local business without first executing an examination of the interior. Spring Valley resident Dan Sawin applied for a business revitalization grant for his business at 102 W. St. Paul St., and he was present at the public health and safety meeting June 1. He was told by the aldermen they needed a schedule with a timeline deciphering his plan of action for
the internal renovations, and alderman Ken Bogacz stated Sawin did not provide them with a project completion date as of yet. Bogacz suggested the facade grant be tabled for a later date, explaining the aldermen were not aware Sawin would be present at the June 1 meeting, and therefore did not have the adequate time to contemplate the full scope of the situation and present the proper questions to Sawin. The aldermen all agreed they wanted to see initiative from Sawin to improve the inside of his business before they provide funds to shape up the outside — with Spring Valley Building Inspector

Quality prizes donated by area businesses will be available, and the cost is $30 for adults and $15 for youth ages 10 to 15.

Bogacz called two different water and sewer meetings — Wednesday, June 15, and Tuesday, June 28,, both at 6:30 p.m. — to discuss the maintenance and service agreement of the RO system associated with the water works in the city. The second meeting will allow professional representatives working on the RO system to explain their tactics and answer any questions. Economic development director Debb Ladgenski noted the sign-up is underway for the triathlon, which will involve shoot-

When Interstate 180 became a runway Engine fails on SR22 aircraft At 5:42 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, a 2008 SR22 aircraft, piloted by Danik Shiv Kumar, 24, of Sandusky, Ohio, was forced to make an emergency landing on Interstate 180, northbound at Mile Post 2. The Illinois State Police said the reason for the interstate landing was engine failure in the aircraft. Kumar, along with passengers Stephen M. Bosak Jr., 27, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Matthew A.

I-180 traffic on the northbound lane was closed for a short period, but the Illinois State Police said the entire incident only caused limited disruption of traffic on the road.
PRINCETON — The Princeton City Council meeting on Monday, June 6, began with a resident of Bailey Court, just off of Backbone Road, discussing the amount of dust created by motorists on the unfinished road. The complaint was taken under advisement, and the current 20 mph speed limit may be temporarily lowered until the road is resurfaced. The mayor explained the upcoming work was bid out for July. Commissioner Ray Mabry confirmed the dustiness created by faster moving vehicles and stated the scheduled work should be completed in roughly five days, once the resurfacing is underway. The board also approved a new ordinance which declares using, keeping or storing any upholstered furniture, including mattresses, manufactured primarily for indoor use, in any yard and/or unenclosed porch a nuisance. Another resolution was adopted altering the sequence of resolution numbers and is an administrative change prompted by an error. In other business, the board approved the purchase of a new Pierce Arrow-XT rear-mount pumper engine for the fire department which is not to exceed the full procurement price of $669,503. The new engine will take approximately a year to receive and will replace the current engine which the city has had since 1986. The board also approved the purchase of a Terex aerial bucket and truck chassis, along with a Vermeer BC1500 diesel wood chipper for the electric department. The bucket and truck is not to exceed $215,000, and the chipper is not to exceed $60,000. These purchases will allow the city to bring the service of tree trimming/ line clearance back to the city rather than contracting it out. In other business: • A revenue and expenditure report will now be part of the city manager’s report at future city council meetings and will help track expenses as the year progresses.

Catching up to her dreams Peru native speaks about her adventure creating a country rock album By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com
Life is all about writing your own song. You start each day with different ideas — scratching a few as you go, and capitalizing on others. You pluck the strings of your instrument, slowly at first, but then the tune starts to find its harmony. You open your lungs and rejoice in exclamation, reaching for the chords you never thought possible, and within them the melody is made. Even after nailing the notes down in the ambiance of perfected sound, you don’t ever stop … but simply begin the rhythm anew. Peru native Alika Kowalczyk was studying bio pre-dental at Valparaiso University in Indiana, as she loves helping people and felt it was her calling. Despite her efforts to excel in the field, it just did not strike the chords of her heart as she had expected it to.

She has mastered one song so far, called “My Devotion.” She started an Indiegogo account — a financial effort driven by fan donations — to help with the studio costs of recording and mastering all the quality cuts. She’s also playing with some experienced people, including Tim McGraw’s drummer, a fiddler and Memphis talent abound. “They’ll probably be expensive, but we are competing with national artists, so we can’t go cheap or that’s what the sound will be,” she said, adding her parents have dipped into their accounts to afford her dream. “I’m ready for this, but every day I have to keep telling myself I have the strength and talent to reach great heights.” The musicians have nine songs to finish before the album is completed, so Kowalczyk is going to delve into that while simultaneously jumping onto any stage she can find. “I have experience, but not enough; you have to do it all the time because that’s how you get better at it,” she said, adding she’d love to tour around the area in the future and has been working on her guitar skills for the last year. “I’ve become a geek for instruments, so my appreciation for every musician I witness has grown, which just helps me better communicate with my musicians.” Kowalczyk said it’s refreshing to finally talk about her dream, and it’s enlivening to be within the beginning stages of such an opportunity. “People are like, ‘Oh, you sing?’ and I say, ‘Surprise!’” she said. “If you can make a living doing what you love, it’s truly a great joy.” To hear her music, visit www.AlikaSings.com, or toss a letter in the mailbox to Alika’s Fan Base, P.O.

Coalition encourages legislators to fund rural treatment centers SPRINGFIELD — Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, law enforcement, mental and behavioral health providers and concerned citizens were among the 225plus in attendance during the “Opioid Crisis Next Door: 2016 Rural Health Summit,” held June 2 at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. The “Opioid Crisis Next Door: 2016 Rural Health Summit” was organized in an effort to increase awareness of the rapidly growing problem of opioid and heroin use in rural communities and the lack of community response. Together, the Illinois Pharmacist Association, the Illinois Department of Health and Human Services, the Illinois Department of Public Health, Center for Rural Health, and the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network (ICAHN) partnered to bring the health care community, local organizations, and teams of concerned citizens together to assist in the fight. “With 88 people dying nationwide every single day due to this problem, it’s a legal obligation of ours, as health care providers, to bring awareness to this issue and take the steps necessary for fixing this epidemic,” said Mark Rossi, ICAHN Board president and COO of Hopedale Medical Complex. “Today, we issue a call to action to anyone and everyone who wants to see it stopped. I think we made great strides in this statewide collaboration.” Among the day’s presenters were Sam Quinones, journalist and author of Dreamland, Scott Brink of the federal Drug Enforcement Agency; and Tim Ryan, a community activist, successful entrepreneur, former nationally-ranked barefoot water skier and the father of four who lost everything due to his bad choices of letting alcohol and drug abuse control his life. Doctors, pharmacists, law enforcement and substance abuse partners were also an integral part of the panel discussions and identification of rural community treatment and coalitions already at work to combat opioid abuse and heroin use. “The process has just begun. When each of you returns to your community, you have been charged with the task of keeping this momentum alive. We

Sister Francis Anne (Marie Flore Angele, “Angela”) was born on May 12, 1924, in Fargo, N.D., to Francis and Anna (Brunelle) Bellemare.

Learning the language I bought a new house in Tiskilwa last fall and have been working hard to spruce up the place. The task requires much effort and a patient endurance as I jump from interior design to exterior beautification. After close to nine months of maintenance, the place is starting to look like a home worth Eric having. One of the Engel requirements COMMENTARY I’ve inherited in protecting my investment and maturing the terms of my residence is not just caring for my plot of land but inquiring into the interests of my neighbors. My parents encouraged me to seek out friendships since I could walk, and I’d much rather have township companions than enemies within my proximity. Hence, on a walk home from my buddy’s house a month back, I saw a gal working in her yard and proceeded to offer a warm greeting. We got to talking, and as we strolled across a few small town blocks, the conversation turned to how enjoyable it is to be outside and interactive with each other. She then offered a token of insight strong enough to rise above all the words before it or after. She was in her 70s, and said when the digital age struck the ground running, so very many of those in their 50s and older were left behind at the station. Not because they did not care to board the train of revolution, but because it seemed no one was willing to sell them a ticket. Think of ancient tribes, and the stories told of their continuity. The elders would teach the youth how to speak and dance, how to hunt and build, and the young adults would showcase all their new discoveries of the land and its uses to the tribal leaders. In this sufficient cycle, everyone in the tribe discussed everything relevant, that the force of knowledge would saturate throughout the entire clan. This woman said when computers, emails, Internet utilization and digital interaction all began the initial stages of their social reign, very few of the pioneers or adults in the prime of their cognitive skills made a significant effort to educate the older members of the population. Hardly a soul stood on the welcome mat at the senior center, asking to personalize the lesson plan. Some did, of course, but the point she made is that not everyone did, and it would be foolish to assume most aging adults were not just as interested as those younger than them in the technological breakthroughs of their global surrounding. When the television was invented, everyone took a first glance with wonder in their eyes, not just those under 40. She acknowledged the reality those heading into the later stages of their life would have a harder time grasping the digital age, but the frustration in her voice spoke to the point that they still should have been offered the chance to learn. Sure, a few classes are offered here and there that teach someone how to surf the Internet for useful information, but she said a dozen elders attend the class — and are hurried through with no fair shot at meaningful comprehension. Consider this ... the negative aspects of the digital age keep us glued to our devices, and therefore takes more time away from the natural human interaction we’d find by using our imagination while climbing a tree or the laughter we’d gain from interacting with our peers. When our brain is ingrained in the video game application, it is not listening openly to the instruction from our parents, our teachers or our surroundings, and when our eyes hurt from scrolling through Facebook and Twitter, they are not looking at the artwork of the green trees contrasting against the baby blue and white cloud sprinkled sky. Through all of these seemingly small things, we as young humans learn tiny lessons at a time of patience, trust, joy and guidance, and those build up to define the character of a calm and worthy

Not on the weekend ...

Contact BCR Editor Terri Simon before submitting at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330. There was a disturbing scene this past weekend in Princeton, and I think the public needs to know that those who could have done something about the situation did nothing. It was mid-afternoon on June 4, a beautiful Saturday, and the town was very busy as usual. In front of Family Video on North Main Street (Route 26) was a young deer who had obviously been hit by a vehicle. She was laying in the small grassy area between the sidewalk and North Main Street itself. Her eyes were open, and she was facing the street— quite an unpleasant image on such a pretty day. There was no way to drive by and not get an up close and personal look. I felt very bad for the deer but also for families with children driving by or visitors to our city who were met by this unpleasant sight, or just those of us who live here going about our daily routine. It was impossible to miss! I mistakenly assumed she would be removed, since the authorities had probably been contacted when she was hit, and they would have the matter under control. Imagine my surprise the next morning when I noticed the deer was still there! It had been there almost 24 hours at that point. Inside Walmart, I heard three people discussing how the city seemed to be ignoring this disgusting sight, but after all, it was the weekend. I did call 911 on Sunday morning at 10:25, and they transferred me to the Bureau County Sheriff’s office. I explained the situation and said it probably should have been removed by now. The dispatcher said “Princeton is aware.” Well, they may have been “aware” but were not attending to the
individual ... one who would make better choices than worse most of the time. One who is willing to share all they learn, with everyone in their realm. The entire culture of the world has gotten too fast because we are trying to move like the computers we are glued to, yet that is not a healthy pace for our brains to learn all those small lessons. At lightning speed we just pass those small lessons over, without appreciation of the fact our elders taught us everything in our arsenal of function at different points in the past. If we do not teach our elders the newest inventions and advantageous routes of social innovation, we are but fools to be angered when they don’t understand or apply the current means. That would do as much good as disciplining a second grader for
situation. I asked her who I could call to suggest that the carcass be removed (keep in mind this is our busiest street in town on a sunny weekend — lots of traffic — perhaps even a police car or two!). Not knowing who to call, I asked her if she thought I should call the Princeton Police Department. She replied, “They are closed on the weekend, so we dispatch their calls and Princeton is aware.” OK — reassuring! I am certain this falls within the street department domain, but you just don’t see them around town much anymore. Does Princeton still have a street department — can you say “pothole?” Look, we expect to see dead deer out in the country next to rural highways — it is a normal occurrence. They can be a nuisance and cause extensive damage to our vehicles. However, when one is on the grass at the most heavily traveled area in our lovely city on a weekend, I would think care would be taken to remove it rather than let it bake in the sun covered with flies for such a long time. I went by at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, and it was still there. Seriously, Princeton officials? In a bit of irony, someone had tied a “Get Well” balloon around her back leg on Sunday which drew even more attention to the spectacle. Was there not one city or county employee who drove by and thought, “Gee, we probably should get that out of here, as it is not exactly an aesthetic addition to our town.” I guess not. I have pictures of this deer, so if any of our social media sites that extol the virtues of our quaint little town with the slow pace and unique Main Street would like to add this photo attraction as an example of how well we take care for our town, just me know. Unlike some governmental employees, I will be available on weekends! Cheryl McLane Princeton
not knowing trigonometry, or reprimanding a limo driver for not being able to fly a zeppelin. Our choices create our environment, so if things are moving too fast, the only way to slow it down is to press the brakes rather than the gas pedal. I rest in agreement with Albert Einstein, who said, “I fear the day technology surpasses our human interaction, for the world will have a generation of idiots.” Let us take the time to bridge the generations rather than divide them, as everyone has something to contribute, regardless their age or social standing. Few words make for a passing thought, many for a story told … but all words make for the universal language of collaboration. BCR Staff Writer Eric Engel can be reached at eengel@bcrnews.com.

A new zoning plan? To the Editor, The Princeton Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, June 14, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. at the City Hall Council Chambers, 2 S. Main St., Princeton, concerning the adoption of a new zoning map. Let me attempt to paint you a picture. At present the East facing side of the 500/600 block of North Vernon Street is generally made up of eight parcels of land. These are made up of 40-foot single, 80-foot double and 115-foot triple lots. There are homes built and occupied on seven of them. The block has one vacant single lot and a triple lot which has a storage building on it. The single vacant lot and the parcel with the storage building have recently been zoned business. In other words, 87 percent of the block is zoned residential and has residents. The proposed zoning map will convert seven residences to business property. I am an owner and legal resident of this block. The present configuration of the block has already negatively affected North Vernon Street. Debris, litter and trash blow east from Ace Hardware and Dairy Queen. Traffic trying to avoid congestion on Main Street has increased the speeders on Vernon Street.
Since Ace has turned their parking lot into an outdoor sales area, their employees park on North Vernon Street which is too narrow for both sides of the street parking. The only obvious purpose of this change is to allow Ace Hardware to expand to fill the block with or without more parking. This will, in my opinion, further negatively impact a residential neighborhood. The stated purpose of the proposal is a smoke screen to allow Ace Hardware to grab the land for commercial use. I plan on attending the meeting and invite you to check out the rest of the proposed map which affects the entire city of Princeton. All interested persons may attend the public hearing and comment on the proposed new zoning map. Written comments will be accepted up to the day of the hearing. A copy of the map is on file at City Hall and may be reviewed by interested persons. The map is also available on the city of Princeton official website (very small link) on the very top of the page. Any questions concerning the proposed map revision can be directed to Brian Gift, director of planning, George Sebastian Princeton
Speaking the truth To the Editor, Jesus said, “I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me.” Few listen to him and even fewer people go to church anymore. Today, sound intrinsic judgments have become subjective — what is good or bad for me is not necessarily good or bad for you. The result is that standards of behavior (truths) are no longer a value system for us to follow. We create our own rules and our own morality. Truth becomes our “opinion.” Our nature tells us in essence to go ... and sin some more. Sadly, modern secularism and political correctness have taken over and defined Christianity. We are moving toward relativism which does not recognize anything for what it is. Everything is relative; nothing is either black or white; there are only shades of gray. Truth does not exist anymore. The goals are one’s own ego and one’s own feelings and desires. Jesus said, “I am the way
the truth and the life.” Relativism says, “I, only I (not Jesus), have the way and the truth and the life. Relativism states “All views are equally valid.” (Whatever you do) “It’s OK and no one dare criticize you, and if they do, they are not politically correct, which becomes the general way of thinking and undermines freedom of thought as well as freedom of religion. Relativism attacks the capacity to seek and know the truth, and since relativism becomes the accepted way of thinking, it falls in line with political correctness, and political correctness denies truth. Today Relativism has become the “real religion” of modern man and stands at the heart of modern secular civilization and limits the capacity of moral truth and the definition of Christianity. What our country needs is a renewal of faith to bring back, “I am the way the truth and the life,” (Jesus), and let God bless America again. Carlo Olivero Dalzell

Keep the ‘Flags of Freedom’ flying Editor’s note: The following guest editorial exceeds the Bureau County Republican’s 500-word limit for Letters to the Editor, therefore, the BCR will extend the same opportunity to someone with an opposing point of view. Contact BCR Editor Terri Simon before submitting at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330. Really Mr. Cook. The “Flags of the Freeway!” What an insult and slap in the face to all who support the “Flags of Freedom!” First off Mr. Cook, your investigative skills as a reporter for the Bureau County Republican could not be the furthest from the truth. Does not a reporter try and get the facts before he or she prints their editorial or commentary? Obviously, in this case, this does not apply. If you would have tried harder to get the “real” facts about the cost of the flags, instead of misleading the citizens of this city and county with your figures, then everyone could understand the real truth on the amount of monies it takes to support the flags. Let us give you, Mr. Cook, a history lesson on this project from start to finish. You see Mr. Cook, after 911, the citizens gathered at Soldiers and Sailors Park immediately following the horrific act of terrorism on our country. We stood giving words of encouragement and prayers for those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. We, Mr. Cook, were united in our feelings for our country. Many in this county felt a terrible loss, especially for those who had ties to friends and family that were personally impacted by these attacks. A group of individuals felt the need to show not only America, but Bureau County, a way to express our feelings to this nation. You see Mr. Cook, this was out of respect, not what you call patriotism or freedom, but a way to show our unity to those who stand up against us. The “Flags of Freedom” represent a different meaning to everyone, not by trying to define your definition of patriotism. Each person sees a unique and different feeling as they view these flags. You cannot judge patriotism by the number of flags that you count walking around a neighborhood Mr. Cook. It is from the heart. We are not sure if you have ever been to Arlington National Cemetery, Normandy or even the Rock Island Arsenal Cemetery? If you have, then you can see the thousands of flags that adorn those graves and entrances to these honored sites. You see Mr. Cook, there can be no number of flags that can show how we feel as a nation, in showing our respect. Would it not be wonderful to see a flag at every residence or business in our county or city? Maybe not for you Mr. Cook. So Mr. Cook, a committee of citizens, business owners and others was formed, many of whom are still with us today, and some whom have passed away. The idea for the “Flags of Freedom,” not the “Flag of Freedom,” thought out a way of showing our respect for past, present and future military veterans and civilians who have protected, and still protect our freedom to be the greatest nation on earth. The idea of placing 4, not 1, flags at Exit 56, on Interstate 80, which is the “Gateway to Princeton” was born. A lot of hard work and many hours from many volunteers made this possible, as well as the many donations and in-kind services to fund this project. Donations came in amounts of $1 to $30,000. You see Mr. Cook, this was thought out very well, for almost 2 years. The list of those original committee members is available to view at any time. You, Mr. Cook, may be surprised to see who is on it! Working hand in hand with the city of Princeton, whom gave in-kind services, the project came to fruition on Sept. 11, 2005 during Homestead Festival. Thousands of dignitaries and citizens attended the raising of the “Flags of
Freedom” that day. There was not a dry eye to be seen Mr. Cook. Again, it is the meaning to each individual of what these flags represent. You see Mr. Cook, it is not how “pretty” these flags look, but the meaning behind them. So Mr. Cook, there was then a large fundraiser which took place and raised $27,000. It was at this time, in 2006, that the “Flags of Freedom” were turned over and graciously accepted by the city of Princeton. The city of Princeton from that point forward contributed $12,000 annually, to purchase 8 flags, of which we were able to fly most of the year. $6,000 every six weeks? WOW, where did you get these amounts? You see Mr. Cook, the flags are taken down during inclement weather, and for months at a time during the winter. Also Mr. Cook, the flags do tatter and tear from high winds and bad storms. The flags are taken down for repairs, at a very minimal cost by a business from Dixon. You see we try our hardest to make sure the flags look nice, but sometimes it is very difficult to raise and lower them due to conditions of climate and winds. Do we sometimes let them go for extended periods, yes, but not purposely like some may try to make it appear. Mr. Cook, we are sure you remember the raising of the flag over Iwo Jima; it was tattered, shredded and torn while it was raised high and proud by our American troops. Shameful, I think not, Mr. Cook. Mr. Cook, we are not really sure where you have obtained all your “factual” information, but it is in no way accurate. A shame that you could not have “investigated” a little further to get the truth. But, you did what you wanted to do, that of planting misleading thoughts to our citizens. It is sad that we cannot “support the “Flags of Freedom,” instead of some trying to tear them down, or put them up for sale. It is also sad that we must “DEFEND” the flags in flying. You see we are not even sure if you have ever been on the overpass to show respect to those funeral escorts passing through our city on Interstate 80, those of our fallen comrades. Not sure if you have ever talked to some of the Gold Star family members who stop and express their heartfelt thanks for the “Flags of Freedom.” Not sure if you have ever read the letters from those traveling on Interstate 80 expressing their thanks for what these flags mean to them. Obviously Mr. Cook, the “Flags of Freedom” do not have the same “meaning” to you as it does to others. Another thing, no one is trying to shame the city into purchasing flags. You see, Mr. Cook, the city of Princeton was awarded the “Governor’s Hometown Award” for its partnership with the “Flags of Freedom.” This is a community award, first place, and needs to be addressed as such. We firmly believe these flags can be funded by tourism monies, not taxpayer funds. However, there are individuals who are forming various groups to fund privately some of the expense to help in the cost of the flags. We firmly believe there are many who wish to see the “Flags of Freedom” flying. Mr. Cook, there are banners within the city in reference to “911” that say, “Let Us Never Forget,” Maybe you have forgotten the meaning of these flags for Bureau County. Shame on you and others who wish to see them just “go away.” Lastly Mr. Cook, are we angry or upset by your editorial or commentary? No, what we are is disappointed and frustrated by your lack of finding the facts and your misleading comments. Seriously, the “Flags of the Freeway!” Colleen Sissel, secretary, current committee member of the “Flags of Freedom” Princeton

Princeton library will host summer reading program PRINCETON — The Princeton Public Library will host is summer reading program with the theme “Read for the Win,” which celebrates both the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and personal success in the lives of our readers in whatever undertakings they set their minds to. Registration for the youth summer reading program (pre-K through eighth grade) will begin on Monday, June 13, and patrons may pick up a registration card at the Youth Services desk during that week (or at any point during summer reading). Participants registering for “Read for the Win” should have access to a library card since the expectation is that most of summer reading will be with Princeton Public Library materials (books, magazines or audio books). Participants will track hours of reading (in 15 minute increments) and can win prizes for reaching their reading goals with incentive prizes at several levels. For each hour of reading or program attended, participants also receive a ticket to put in raffle jar for 24 different prizes, with the drawing to be held July 29.

Summer readers may also try one or more special summer challenges that range from bird- and insect-watching (either a one-day total or a count for the seven weeks of summer reading), to hiking in various natural areas in the Illinois Valley, to designing a trophy for any sport or activity of the designer’s choosing. Princeton Public Library has scheduled more than 21 different activities to keep youth active both in and out of the library this summer, and to promote reading-related activities for fun and personal growth. Brochures with the program schedule are available in the Youth Services department and the schedule will also be on the Princeton Public Library website, www.theprinctonlibrary.org. One does not need to be registered for summer reading or hold a Princeton Public Library card to attend summer reading activities, but some activities will be by advance registration only due to limited materials and attendance. The summer programming will kick off with “Ben’s Bubble Show” at 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 17, in the library’s Matson Meeting Room.

Ben Jiminez will mix art and science with bubbles and laughter in a show that’s fun for all ages. There’s also a serious side to summer reading. Research has shown that reading over the summer prevents summer reading loss. “Studies also indicate students who read recreationally outperformed those who don’t. Students read more when they can choose materials based on their own interests,” said Ron McCutchan, youth services director. “Princeton Public Library is committed to supporting lifelong learning and educational enrichment for all families.” For adults wishing to participate, there will be several program offerings, including a Read for the Win Bingo Night at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 16. They can also take part in two book-related challenges. By answering a series of questions and turning in their answers by July 29, they will be eligible for a number of prizes. Winners will be drawn during our closing event. To learn more about the summer adventure at the library, call 815875-1331 or visit www.theprincetonlibrary.org.

Harvard Medical School honors former Princeton resident Bouxsein receives excellence in mentoring award Former Princeton resident Mary L. Bouxsein, PhD, director of the Center for Advanced Orthopaedic Studies at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), has received the 2015-16 A. Clifford Barger Excellence in Mentoring Award from Harvard Medical School (HMS). Bouxsein was honored at the medical school’s annual Excellence in Mentoring Awards Ceremony on May 23. The A. Clifford Barger Excellence in Mentoring Award honors the memory of A. Clifford Barger, who devoted his career to bringing out the best in those who studied, trained and worked at HMS. Each year, HMS faculty members, house officers, fellows and students nominate mentors who have supported and encouraged professional and personal development. A selection committee with repre-
sentatives from HMS and its affiliated hospitals carefully review all nominees’ mentoring consistencies and qualities, and chooses the recipients. In addition to serving as director of the Center for Advanced Orthopedic Studies at BIDMC, Bouxsein is associate professor in orthopedic surgery at HMS and a faculty member in the Bioastronautics Program at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. Bouxsein was honored for the guidance and encouragement she provides to junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students in her laboratory about professional and personal growth, as well as work-life balance. “From Day 1, Mary was gracious with her time, generous with her resources and enthusiastic with her support,” said Lamya Karim, PhD, instructor in orthopedic surgery at BIDMC, who nom-
inated Bouxsein for the award. “She has never once wavered in her backing. She has undoubtedly been one of the most influential people I have known in terms of contributing to my scientific and career development and advancement. I know many of Mary’s mentees feel the same.” “It has been truly rewarding to have the opportunity to provide guidance and see my mentees advance in their careers and personal lives,” Bouxsein said upon receiving her award. “I’ve been fortunate to have these extremely talented junior faculty members and trainees as my mentees and friends. Mentoring is a two-way street that involves more than just advising proteges. It’s a rare opportunity for both mentors and mentees to grow mutually as they move forward in their journey.”
