A new administration team at PES Principal Eleanor Walker retires

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Princeton Elementary School Board has adjusted its administration team for the coming year.

At Monday’s meeting, the PES Board hired Amanda Carr as the new Logan Junior High School

principal. Carr has worked for the district for the past six years as a special education teacher at Reagan Middle School.

In making his recommendation to hire Carr, Superintendent Tim Smith said Carr is extremely committed and hard working and will be a great asset to the administration team.

Carr will replace J.D. Orwig as Logan principal.

Orwig will now become principal at Jefferson Elementary and will also assume some districtwide responsibilities, Smith said following the meeting.

The board also voted to post an assistant principal position for Logan Junior High School, since 125 additional fifth-grade students, plus staff, from

the Reagan Middle School building will become part of the Logan campus starting with the 2014-15 school year.

The increased numbers of students and staff at Logan would be too much for one principal to handle well, Smith said. With the consideration of school security, it would be best to have administrative support on the west end of the Logan

campus as well the east side of the campus. Also, there is the challenge of changing requirements in performance evaluations for school districts. Even if Orwig had stayed at Logan, he (Smith) would have asked for an assistant principal at Logan, Smith said.

Rounding out the administration team for PES will be Principal Bob Bima, who will split his

Buyer beware!

SPRING VALLEY — Spring Valley residents who received a brochure from a company called HomeServe are advised to investigate what exactly they offer before doing business with the service.

At Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor Walt Marini advised HomeServe is not affiliated with the city of Spring Valley. The private business advertises to provide a form of water service line insurance coverage for the water line running to a consumer’s home.

“These types of agreements are uncommon and may not provide the coverage marketed by the solicitation,” Marini said.

“The service offered is not necessarily a scam, but it more than likely is a service the average homeowner or business owner does not want or need.”

Marini pointed out the brochure refers to the Spring Valley water service line responsibility but has nothing to do with the city.

Residents can research businesses on the Better Business Bureau website and review any affiliations with scams.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the Reagan building, which had housed fourth and fifth grades, will be used this coming year by PES for one preschool class of Tiskilwa children,

Keep dogs and cats safe as the temps rise

By Goldie Currie gcurrie@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Summer is the time to kick back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. But for pets, it can be a time of danger if proper care is not taken. Pets need more attention in the humid, hot temperatures, as they are more susceptible to overheating.

To help keep all furry friends safe this season, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has provided a list of hot weather tips for owners to read and consider. Take these five safety tips into consideration as the temperatures continue to rise:

Travel in style Traveling can be highly stressful for pets. If planning a road trip, prep pets in advance by taking short rides in the car and getting them used to riding in a crate or car harness.

Dr. Louis Murray, vice president of the ASPCA Animal Hospital, reminds pet owners they should never leave their animals unattended in a parked vehicle “Parked cars, even with windows open, become very hot in a short amount BCR photo/Amelia Bystry of time, and this can lead to Stella takes a long drink of water on a warm summer day. Animal organizations and area officials remind pet owners heatstroke or death,” he said

to have plenty of fresh water available for their animals, especially when the temperatures are high. A shady area is a must as well, and rides in the car should be limited to times when pet owners do not leave the animal unattended.

And the winners are ...

The LCN team (pictured) was the winner in the food drive challenge with MTM Recognition. The two businesses faced off to see who could collect the most food and monetary donations between June 9 and June 20 to benefit local food pantries. LCN raised $894.40, and the company matched that total for a grand total of $1,788.80. The employees also collected 284 food items. MTM Recognition raised $411, and their employees collected 532 food items. A traveling trophy, donated by MTM Recognition, will be displayed at LCN until next year’s challenge. Jamie Smith, order processing representative, and Jolee Parks, human resources intern, led the LCN team. Ginny Bollinger, administrative coordinator, led the MTM team. Following the outcome, Bollinger said although LCN won the challenge, the real winners are the food pantries and people the two businesses have helped.

Princeton program canceled for lack of participation

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Less than a month into it, the Illinois Coalition for Community Services (ICCS) has cancelled its free summer lunch program in Princeton for area children and teens.

On Tuesday, ICCS community organizer Jillian Severinski confirmed the closing of the Princeton program due to a lack of participation. Even though the lunch program has closed, that doesn’t mean the problem of hunger doesn’t exist in Princeton, she said.

“I know child hunger still exists in the summer, and that this meal could be a great asset to parents and the wider Princeton community. Unfortunately, it was not economically fea-

sible to continue the program while the average feeding did not exceed four children per day,” Severinski said.

The ICCS had partnered with the Tri-County Opportunities County, Princeton School District and the First United Methodist Church in providing the free lunch program in Princeton.

The Princeton program was one of three programs started this summer in Bureau County by the ICCS and its community partners. The other programs in DePue and Spring Valley are doing well, Severinski said.

“The DePue and Spring Valley programs have been thriving. We are feeding an average of 48 students per day, per site,” she said. “We hope the program continues to be utilized throughout the summer.”

More community members are encouraged to help volunteer at the DePue and Spring Valley lunch programs and also to encourage children to attend, Severinski said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, the DePue program is running from June 3 through July 18, Monday

through Friday, at the DePue Unit School. The Spring Valley program is running from June 13 through Aug. 15, Monday through Friday, at Spring Valley City Hall. Lunches are served noon to 1 p.m. at both sites.

Severinski said the free lunch program is open to all children, toddlers through 17 years old, and is not based on family income.

Outdoor expo is high-flying fun

Keep cool

Event-goers at Spring Valley Outdoors Expo, held on Saturday, was fun for folks of all ages, like these people seen wall climbing.

The event, sponsored by Partners For Progress and Spring Valley Boosters, highlighted the numerous outdoor activities the Spring Valley area has to offer — from the Illinois River in the city’s backyard which provides boating and fishing, to Hall Township’s Echo Bluff Park, the area’s large motorcycle population, and more.

Dogs and cats can become dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of water when the weather is hot. Also, make sure pets have a shady place to escape the sun, and don’t let dogs linger outdoors, especially on hot asphalt. Being so close to the ground, the dog’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can get burned.

Watch what they eat Summertime can be perfect for backyard barbecues or parties, but remember the food and drink served to guests may be poisonous to pets. Keep alcoholic beverages away from pets, and remember the snacks served to friends should

not be treats for pets. Any change of diet – even for one meal – may give dogs or cats severe digestive ailments. Make sure to avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with the sweetener xylitol, since these are poisonous to pets.

Beware of “high-rise syndrome” During warmer months, many animal hospitals and veterinarians see an increase in injured animals as a result of “High-Rise Syndrome,” which is when pets fall or jump out of windows and are seriously or fatally injured. Keep all unscreened windows in the home closed, and make sure screens are tightly secured.

Love the leash Warm weather can inspire longer walks, but while this is exciting for both dog and owner, it’s important that dogs are always kept on leashes — with collars and up-to-date ID tags — to protect them from getting loose and injuring themselves or others.

PRINCETON — Princeton Animal Control Officer Nancy Bland has been called to the scene on numerous occasions related to animal cruelty during the hot summer months.

In most of these cases, she said an owner had become forgetful or careless and didn’t provide the necessities for their pets during the high temperature days.

Bland said to keep a pet safe in the summer months, it’s all about remembering the simple things. These important pieces of advice can’t be stressed enough to pet owners and should be considered when caring for animals.

When talking about pet summer safety, the first bit of information Bland shares is remembering to provide adequate shelter for pets; this could relate to hot, direct sunlight or summer thunderstorms.

Another thing to keep in mind, is making sure the pet has plenty of water to drink. It’s also important to secure the water container, so the pet cannot dump the water.

While it’s well known pets like to take rides with their owners in the vehicle, Bland said they should not be taken in the car if an owner plans to make stops and leave the pet inside the vehicle.

“It gets too hot, too fast for them,” she said. “Dogs already have a high body temperature, and we know they love to go for rides. But take them in the car when you’re going to get an ice cream or drop off a letter in the mail.

Don’t take them along when you’re going grocery shopping. Time gets away from us, and a few minutes in the car is dangerous for your pet.”

Bland hands out cards to residents about summer pet safety. In the information, it states on an 85-degree Fahrenheit day, the temperature inside a car — with the window’s slightly opened — will reach 102 degrees Fahrenheit in 10 minutes. In 30 minutes it will rise to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. On warmer days it will go even higher.

A dog’s normal body temperature is 101.5 to 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit. A dog can withstand a body temperature of 107 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit for only a short time before suffering irreparable brain damage, or even death.

Bland said pet owners who get caught leaving their pets in the car for long periods of time can be cited for cruel treatment or aggravated cruel treatment, depending on the situation. Police officers also have authority to break a car window to remove an animal in distress during an emergency.

If a pet is overcome by heat exhaustion, immerse the pet in cold water until body temperature is lowered.

pedestrian walk and traffic light at the intersection of Strong Avenue and Dakota Street.

The Spring Valley Elementary School Board disagrees with the decision to place the pedestrian crossing at Strong Avenue.

They have expressed their concerns with students crossing at the particular intersection and believe the crossing should be placed at either the Richards and Dakota streets intersection or the Taylor and Dakota streets intersection.

Before the council approved to submit the application, Marini referred to the BCR’s recent coverage of the Spring Valley Elementary School Board. Superintendent Jim Hermes had reported that community members have expressed concerns to him about students walking down Strong Avenue.

In regards to that report, Marini said he urges those community members to contact him, as he would be like to share the Safe Routes to School traffic study recently conducted by engineer James Clinard for the city council and school board.

“After going over the study, I believe anyone will see how the council reached their decision,” he said. “The city and Mr. Clinard have always had

the safety of the children as a top priority in the study. We have done our due diligence in reaching a decision on where the pedestrian crossing and the stop light should be located.”

A copy of the Safe Routes to School traffic study can be downloaded on the city of Spring Valley’s website, under the city clerk’s tab.

PMH receives Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital designation PRINCETON — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton has received designation as an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital (ESRH) from the Illinois Department of Public Health.

“This designation ensures that all stroke patients, regardless of where they live, have access to rapid care within the narrow treatment window,” said Rex Conger, CEO. “Prior to receiving this designation, patients would have had to travel a long distance to receive the required care, losing precious time.

Stroke designation for Perry Memorial Hospital now allows local access to the care needed beginning the moment they enter the hospital to the time the lifesaving drug is administered within the recommended 60 minute treatment window. ” In 2009, the Illinois General Assembly passed MB2244, allowing the creation of stroke systems of care in Illinois. The law identifies hospitals capable of providing emergent stroke care and directs EMS to transport possible acute stroke patients to these hospitals. If, however, the closest hospital has not received its Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital designation, EMS personnel may divert that patient to the next closest designated hospital. With Perry Memorial Hospital designated, it now means stroke patients can receive high quality treatment right here.

In response, the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network (ICAHN) created its Stroke Initiative in March of 2010 to increase the number of small and rural hospitals achieving the designation.

The initiative has received international attention for its success in treating stroke patients in the rural areas of Illinois. “In order to gain the ESRH designation, the hospital must meet specific criteria, and Perry Memorial Hospital has worked to achieve this,” said Peggy Jones, ICAHN Stroke Consultant.

As an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital, PMH has a telehealth connection with a neurologist at one or more larger Primary Stroke Hospitals within the state.

This telehealth connection allows a specialist to evaluate the patient and make treatment recommendations. To receive designation, hospitals must measure their outcomes and times to treatment and are subject to random inspections by the state.

• The Ohio School Foundation has donated $300 Board of Education each for sixteen K-12 teachers to purchase Common OHIO — The Ohio Grade School Board of Education met in regular session on June 17 with the following action taken or discussed: • Approved the agenda as presented, the minutes of the May 20 meeting as presented, the May treasurer’s report and bills and payroll.

• Heard audience participation.

• In old/new business it was discussed that for a student to earn the privilege to go on the award trip to Great America, which is paid for by the board, they must meet the criteria as stated in the handbook. The student and their parent/guardian must sign the consent form for random drug testing/ discipline and it must be turned into the principal’s office within 10 days of the first day of school.

Last year, both boards voted to add discipline to the award trip. This meant the student must be drug free and no student could have any suspensions throughout the school year.

Board member Brenda Reuter feels that after a student serves their suspension, the school is double punishing them by not letting them go on the trip.

Board member Rachael Fitzpatrick stated, “What does that say for the good kids who have done nothing wrong all year?”

Reuter said, “Give them a piece of paper that awards them on being good.”

The board decided to table this and make it an action item next month.

Reuter asked the board to revisit the schools’ policy on fighting. Principal Jason Wilt then explained the particular situation that Reuter was referring to.

The board felt that every situation is different and that administration handled it properly. After more discussion the board decided to leave the student discipline up to administration decision, as it has been handled in the past.

• This year only first and second grade will be doing Stanford Testing. This is because the rest of the classes have to do the two PARCC testings in the spring. Sweger and Wilt thought it would be too much to do both.

• Wilt thought the graduations went well with both being on the same night again. Board member Cori Thomas thought it helped to have the reception line down at the auditorium doors for the grade school so it wasn’t congested for the people coming for the high school graduation.

‘Consider the Following’ About a week or so ago, an article came across my Facebook newsfeed about a show I used to love as a child. Curious, I decided to check it out. Well, much to my amazement, I discovered it’s getting a reboot on Netflix.

What show is this, you ask? It’s a wonderful show filled with the adventures of an eccentric teacher and her pet lizard, who loves to take her students COMMENTARY on fun and exciting field trips that always seem to take an odd twist in a magical school bus.

“The Magic School Bus” will return in 2016 on Netflix as “The Magic School Bus 360°” and will still feature the loveable Ms. Frizzle, class and bus on 26 science-themed, half-hour episodes. It originally ran in the 1990s and featured field trips to a bakery, learning about bats and the human body, travelling to outer space and many other exciting adventures.

The episodes expand your mind and teach viewers an abridged version of science. The creators know they can’t cover everything in one 30-minute episode and include a factual snippet at the end clarifying how they stretched the story to fit into its time and all the while keeping it suitable for a young TV and classroom audience.

I can’t lie to you, our fine BCR readers, I probably could have written this column a lot quicker if I hadn’t been writing it while taking a trip down Scholastic Lane and watching a few episodes of the “Magic School Bus” on Netflix. You can watch all four original seasons there. And honestly, I will most likely continue to watch the show for years to come as my niece gets older.

There is nothing like reminiscing about the good old days when you got to make a cell out of Jell-O, an egg and little pieces of candy.

You knew it was going to be a good day in elementary school when the teacher wheeled in the big TV from the audio/visual department and popped in a VHS tape. It didn’t matter if it was “The Magic School Bus” or a Bill Nye video. They were both excellent options, and both encouraged us to explore the world around us.

After my “Magic School Bus” discovery last week, I also decided to give Bill Nye another look. There was just something about the tall, bow-tie wearing scientist to make you want to try an experiment. And try I did.

I discovered his website which in addition to carrying his blog and other Bill Nye items, also had a list of easy to do, at home experiments which require very little in the way of equipment. I’ll admit, I got extremely excited about an air pressure experiment involving a piece a paper and a puff of your own breath that I had to show to of my co-workers. I was more giddy about this than a kid waiting to open presents.

In addition to “The Magic School Bus 360°” on Netflix and Bill Nye’s recent debate with creationist Ken Ham drawing attention earlier this year, another childhood favorite is getting a reboot. “Reading Rainbow,” a childhood staple for many has recently been the focus of a Kickstarter campaign to raise a few million dollars to bring the show and its featurettes to schools and children around the globe to encourage literacy.

This resurgence in educational television gives me hope for our future. It’s encouraging kids to pursue topics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I was never one for STEM topics; they were never my favorite. I would much rather have my nose stuck in a book. However, as I’ve gotten older, I wish I would have spent more time focusing on those topics for they are simply intriguing.

I hope kids are able to get as excited about these topics with the renewing of the greatest field trip teacher and read-along buddy ever. Ms. Frizzle, “Reading Rainbow” host LaVar Burton and Bill Nye all taught me different things and shaped my early childhood education.

So a few words of advice, Take chances, make mistakes, get messy. Of course, you don’t have to take my word for it, and thank you for joining me on “Consider the Following.”

Letter THETO Editor Get the facts To the Editor, GBE is a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission line proposed to traverse your area.

Dr. Smith of Missouri has done extensive research into the risks associated with HVDC transmission of electricity. I am extremely concerned for the residents of your area who may be endangered by the proposed GBE transmission line.

In 2012, scientists gathered to independently review over 1,800 new studies done in five years prior to their meeting. Not all were related to the effects of HVDC lines, but there were enough studies and evidence-based results to cause them to make some serious conclusions regarding HVDC. These reports refute Clean Line’s claim

of no negative health effects associated with the company’s proposed GBE transmission line.

Actual health findings based on the evidence state, “Power lines and other sources of ELF are consistently associated with higher rates of childhood leukemia.”

The report also states, “Increased risk for childhood leukemia starts at levels almost 1,000 times below the safety standard.” The World Health Organization ELF Health Criteria Monograph No. 322 (2007) says that other childhood cancers “cannot be ruled out.”

Another study looked at what risks for cancer a child would have later in life, if that child was raised in a home within 300 meters of a highvoltage electric power line. For children who were raised for their first five years of life within 300 meters, they have a lifetime risk that is 500

percent higher for developing some kinds of cancers.

A study by Lowenthal et al. investigated leukemia in adults in relation to residences near to highvoltage power lines. The study provides support for two important conclusions: Adult leukemia is also associated with EMF exposure, and exposure during childhood increases risk of adult disease.

GBE is being proposed by a private group of investors seeking eminent domain in multiple states.

They wish to acquire 200-foot-wide easements across the Midwest for what they claim will be a transmission line unlike anything seen before in the United States. With massive support pole structures designed to carry direct current (DC) electricity, this project would greatly impact not only those along the proposed routes but also set precedence for use of

eminent domain by a private company.

This transmission project is proposed by a LLC, not a public utility planning to improve infrastructure. The GBE project would impose health and economic hardships upon Illinois residents, and even though the company claims they are “clean,” there are no guarantees they would transmit only clean wind generated electricity.

I urge citizens to become informed. Go to www.Block RICL. com or www.Block GBE. com for links to the most recent health research on HVDC lines and further information as to why thousands across multiple states are opposing this dangerous and unnecessary transmission project.

People’s health would be put at risk for the economic benefit of a select group.

‘Sylvia’ hits the Festival 56 stage PRINCETON — Festival 56 presents the romantic comedy “Sylvia” at the Grace Performing Arts Center, 316 S. Main St., Princeton, July 3-8. It plays at 7:30 p.m. July 3, 5, and 8 and 2 p.m. July 6.

The play, written by A. R. Gurney, is a romantic triangle of a special sort – an irresistible dog named Sylvia, a husband in a bit of a midlife crisis who responds to Sylvia’s attention and a wife who sees the dog as a rival for affection.

“My favorite thing about ‘Sylvia’ is that it’s wonderfully theatrical, but not in a splashy or show-offy way,” said director Brad Raimondo. “On the one hand, it’s a very intimate, truthful play, where the humor is generated by real, deeply felt human (and canine) concerns. On the other

hand, the whole play hinges on the audience imagining that a beautiful young woman is a dog. It’s a workout for the heart, the funnybone and the imagination all at once — I don’t know what else one can really ask of a play.”

Marissa Martinez, who played Sylvia in the Festival’s production of the show in 2006, reprises her

role this season. Matt Scott, also a Festival 56 veteran, plays the smitten husband and MoMo Lamping, new to the Festival this year, plays the skeptical wife.

As “Sylvia” contains some adult humor and coarse language, it is recommended for ages 12 and up. A brief discussion with the show’s cast and director will take place after

the opening night performance.

Bureau Valley Veterinary Service is the sponsor of the Festival 56 production of “Sylvia.”

To purchase tickets, call 815-879-5656, ext. 11, visit www.festival56.com or go to the box office open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and an hour before each performance.

Health department releases scores The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department makes routine and unannounced visits each month to various food service establishments in Bureau and Putnam counties to inspect the operation.

Health inspectors use an identical scorecard at each facility, where they check for health code compliance in 45 areas. Each area carries a rating from one to five, with five being the most critical. Inspectors

check the entire operations of the facility in 14 different categories, such as food protection, personnel and garbage and refuse disposal.

Beginning with a score of 100 points, the health inspector deducts one to five points for every violation. The final total is the facility’s inspection report score. A passing food inspection score is 65 or above.

At 65, the Bureau/Putnam County ordinance

allows the health department to close an establishment, but a score doesn’t have to be that low for the department to close it. It depends on the number of critical and non-critical violations and the type of violations. Certain combinations can create a domino effect for food borne outbreaks.

All inspection reports are a matter of public record and can be seen at the Bureau County Health Department in Princeton.

NFHS has school spirit up its sleeve INDIANAPOLIS — The NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee approved four rules changes during its Jan. 6-8 meeting in Indianapolis. The recommended rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

With a mind toward school spirit, the committee approved the addition of a school name or mascot reference to be placed on the sleeve(s) of solidcolored jerseys, providing it appears in either 4-by-4 inch or 3-by-5 inch space.

The solid-colored jersey, as specified in Rule 4-2-2 Note, is required in 2016 but is currently permitted.

“Schools are wanting to put a mascot or [the high school’s abbreviation] on the sleeves of the solidcolored jerseys,” said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Volleyball Rules Committee. “The committee thought ‘how do we allow them to promote school spirit and team unity, but yet preserve the integrity of the solid color and not make a change that becomes more restrictive?’ Now, (it is allowable) to have a 4x4 or 3x5 (logo) on the sleeve.”

Another rule change approved by the committee was clarifying the responsibility of the second referee to whistle and signal out of bounds for an antenna fault on his or her side of the net.

“This change provides clarification that if the ball is going out of bounds over the antenna on the side of the second referee, he or she is in a better position to look up and make that call better than the first referee,” Oakes said.

“Now, by rule, the second referee can and should make that call.”

The other changes include a whistle by the second referee to end a timeout if the audio sig-

WYANET — The sixth annual Nancy Jo OldsBohm 5K run/walk will be held July 12, and will carry on the tradition of benefiting local nonprofit organizations.

The event is held in memory of Nancy Jo Olds-Bohm, who died of breast cancer seven years ago, started by four of Nancy’s Wyanet High School girlfriends – Margaret DeVenney, Julie Farraher, Lori Graham and Karen Russell.

“Nancy was always active with the Wyanet Summer Festival. We wanted to continue her legacy while helping others in the area at the same time,” said Karen Russell, race director. “The race serves as an opportunity for us to honor our friend, Nancy, while raising money for two good causes – ultimately giving back to the community.

The NJOB 5K committee will donate all race proceeds this year to the Believe Foundation and the Wyanet Community Club.”

The Believe Foundation was founded in Princeton in 2008 as a non-profit local foundation that provides local cancer patients with expenditures such as wigs, surgical needs, and other related items to individuals of all ages from the Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties. This foundation is totally funded through donations, to learn more about Believe visit them on the web at http:// believeforhair.org.

The Wyanet Community Club is an organization that provides free family entertainment and support in the Village of Wyanet. Among many of their activities, some of their annual events include the carnival and entertainment

at the Wyanet Summer Festival, the Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween party, Senior Citizens Christmas dinner and Secret Santa gifts to area needy families.

The Event consists of the 5K run/walk, a 1 mile memory walk, kids’ fun run and raffles. In the first five years of the Event, the NJOB committee has been able to donate over $26,000.

Raffle tickets will be sold in advance and on the day of the race for the following items: an overnight stay at the Embassy Suites plus $100 gift certificate to a fine dining restaurant in Peoria; a Perfect Spa Day package at Sophisticuts Salon and Spa; and two tickets to the White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins baseball game on Sept. 12. Raffle tickets are available at the Wyanet Locker or you may contact Margaret DeVenney at 815-8661146.

Before, during, and after the race the public is invited to view a fantastic assortment of additional raffle items such as wine baskets, Anytime Fitness 3-month membership, Peoria Chief tickets plus a $50 gift certificate to Kellehers Irish Pub and a variety of other great items. Tickets for all raffle items may be purchased on the day of the race under the Wyanet Park Pavilion. Winners will be drawn following the kids’ fun run.

The race will start and end at the Wyanet Memorial Park. The course loops through the streets and is fast with mostly flat terrain and only a few gentle hills.

The race is electronically timed and features water stations, splits at the first and second mile markers

Of mice and fish at Black Bear Lodge Editor’s note: This is the second part of Lee Wahlgren’s chronicles of the PHS Sportsman’s Club’s 2014 fishing trip to Black Bear Lodge in Ontario, Canada.

The bus returned home safe and sound and a week later, the Kirgans, Wahlgrens, Tom Bickett and Damon Mercer, pulled into Princeton, tired but safe.

I reported that the Grandpas and grandsons caught many pike and walleyes during their week.

Grandpa Vern Sondgeroth caught the biggest walleye at 6 1/2 pounds and grandpa Bill Griffin tied with the biggest pike at 18 pounds but

Lee Wahlgren OUTDOOR COLUMNIST

the kids did well also. Our four girls along with Turner and Austin Jamison did well also. They traveled to various spots where they caught several stringers of walleyes and pike.

The third day, I took the girls to Suffel Lake, a portage lake known for good walleye fishing. We caught several pike en route to the cut where we started fishing for walleyes.

By the time we arrived to the cut, Brook Stowe and Brooke Ford had already caught several walleyes so McKenzie Cain, Hailey Hilmes switched over to jigs in order to try to catch up. During the fishing, Brook Stowe hooked a pretty big walleye. She fought it for several minutes but then the walleye bit

Wally From Page 13 through the line and Brook was disappointed since it was a big one. All in all, the girls and I had a good trip. It was a good portage.

The six of them shared the hot spots if one was catching more than the other boat was. As I mentioned in my last article, the highlight was when Hailey caught her 11 1/2pound pike. Her boatmates stated, Hailey really got excited. I was just sorry I didn’t get to see how excited she was.

I know that Brock Griffin, Dustin Fultz and Zach Tuft caught quite a few fish in the capable hands of the grandpas. Another grandpa that caught a nice pike was Carl Lund.

He always boats some nice fish each year and this year it was 12 1/2pound pike. The rest of our friends did well also.

One exciting event took place in the girls’ cabin when they were ready to go to sleep. The girls heard some scampering and then some screaming as a mouse ran across Hailey’s hair.

She woke everyone up and into the shelves with a potato Hailey had left on the table. I’m not sure how fast the girls got to sleep after the rodent raid.

My brother, Ron, and Yog’s brother, Richard, decided to make it a trout day. They set up their two downriggers and took off to find some lakers. They had a good day. They caught and released lake trout weighing 25, 23, 21 and 20 pounds.

They also caught four more weighing 10-14 pounds.

We had pretty good weather and caught quite a few fish. The only negative things we experienced were mosquitoes. For the last few years, it had not been too bad. But this year, there were plenty.

One other nuisance that bothered our sleep was a whip-poor-will. Anytime during the night, and I mean anytime, this pesty bird sang outside of our cabin.

Well, another year at Black Bear came to close.

We had a safe trip, had pretty good weather and caught fish. When I got back and checked my emails, I had two that said, “Sorry I missed this year, but mark me down for next year.” Guess we’ll start getting ready for 2015.

Thanks to all who gave a helping hand.

“Because of therapy I feel like a new person!”

I am a diabetic and I had a blister on leg that was so sore. I was in the hospital for a week. I was really, really sick and was told that I had a disease in my veracious veins. I had become so deconditioned over time and in the hospital.

I knew I was not able to return home safely, so I decided to go to Liberty Village of Princeton for therapy. My goal was to return home to make lemon margined pie and vegetable soup for my family. Because of therapy I feel like a new person! I am heading home to cook and bake for my family once again! I now feel like I have energy again and I want to get up and do things-that’s more exciting than anything!

I can go out with the girls again! Therapy was the best thing for me-I never knew what therapy could do!

The cast of “StinkyKids: The Musical” includes (front row, from left) Iliana Garcia, Lauren Van Speybroeck and Alexis Harter; and (back row) Mark Bacon, Mitch Donahue and Adam T. Biner.

Circa ‘21 presents ‘StinkyKids: The Musical’ ROCK ISLAND — Continuing the venue’s recent run of sensational stage versions of beloved children’s books, Circa ‘21 Dinner Playhouse brings another literary gem to life in its forthcoming family production “StinkyKids: The Musical.” Based on the award-winning book series, and running through July 12, this tale of the little stinkers who learn to make correct choices through childhood mistakes is sure to delight audiences of all ages, and is being brought to life by a sensational cast of Circa ‘21 veterans.

“StinkyKids: The Musical” will be performed on scheduled Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Saturday, July 12, with presentations taking place at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. on selected days. Morning performances will occur on June 19, 21, 24 and 28, and July 1, 3, 5, 8, 11 and 12; afternoon performances are on June 26 and July 12.

Tickets are $8.50 per person for the hour-long, show-only performance.

Reservations can be made by calling the Circa ‘21 ticket office at 309-7867733, ext. 2.

“StinkyKids: The Musical” concerns a little girl named Britt, who loves making everyone happy.

But this girl who never gets in trouble is in a literally sticky situation: She

woke up with an impossibly epic wad of gum stuck to her hair. All of Britt’s friends are depending on her parents to take them to the new MegaJumper 3000 at Captain Happy’s Jumpy-Fun-Super-Bouncy Indoor Place, so she definitely doesn’t want to disappoint anyone.

So in order to solve her sticky problem, Britt must rely on her mischievous friends to go with her on an unexpected adventure across their neighborhood!

Serving as director is Circa ‘21 veteran Andrea Moore, who has appeared in such productions as “Cats,” “Grease,” “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and “42nd Street.” Moore is also a longtime member of the theatre’s performing wait staff, the Circa ‘21 Bootleggers.

CHICAGO — Downtown Sound, Millennium Park’s popular Monday night music series at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion will continue on consecutive Monday evenings until Aug. 11. There will be no concert on July 28. The series offers an eclectic mix of indie rock music and pop.

This year, the city of Chicago will mark Millennium Park’s 10th Anniversary.

Join the city for a summerlong celebration featuring Downtown Sound, Loops and Variations and Made in Chicago music series, film series, workouts and much more.

At 6:30 p.m. July 7, Joe Pug, a songwriter from Austin, Texas, by way of Chicago, will headline the evening. With a modern take on the folk tradition and a work ethic that reflects his years as a carpenter, Pug’s ascension to the national spotlight challenged the traditional rulebook of the industry,

enlisting fans directly to spread the gospel of his songs which balance sharp narrative, social criticism and passionate delivery.

Hurray For The Riff Raff is New Orleans-based songwriter Alynda Lee Segarra, but in many ways it’s much more than that: It’s a young woman leaving her indelible stamp on the American folk tradition.

Hurray for the Riff Raff will open the show.

At 6:30 p.m. July 14, Noura Mint Seymali will headline the evening’s show. She is one of Mauritania’s foremost musical emissaries and a nationally beloved star, having begun her career at 13 years old as a supporting vocalist with her stepmother Dimi Mint Abba.

Drawing on Mauritania’s unique intersection of Arab and sub-Saharan African culture, Seymali pushes the dialectic of Mauritanian griot music forward into deep space.

Heavyweight Dub is the

brainchild of Chicago drummer and bandleader Ted Sirota. In 2013 they recorded with Reggae Dub legend Scientist for their debut album. Heavyweight Dub will open the evening.

Collectively and individually, Aimee Mann and Ted Leo have more years of musical experience under their belts than most. One might call them “lifers.” Over the years, they became friendly, leading to a tour together. Inspired by the folksy but edgy rock melodicism and spooky, soulful atmosphere of early Thin Lizzy songs, they began writing together, growing ever closer and more fulfilled working together until “The Both” (originally called #BOTH, because it made them laugh) was born. Chicago’s Pillars & Tongues craft cinematic art-rock that promises to blanket the Pritzker Pavilion in warm, lush soundscapes with haunt-

ing vocals.​The Both will headline the show at 6:30 p.m. July 21 with Pillars and Tongues opening the show.

Millennium Park is located on Michigan Avenue, bordered by Randolph Street to the north, Columbus Drive to the east and Monroe Street to the south. Convenient parking is located in the Millennium Park Garage (entrance on Columbus at Monroe or Randolph), Millennium Lakeside and Grant Park North.

Downtown Sound is presented by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and sponsored by 93XRT, Chicago Tribune, Cliff Bar, Goose Island Beer Co., Millennium Garages and Southwest Airlines.

Illinois Valley Scene

‘Natchez Burning’ All you have to do is ask.

That’s how to keep small life-knitting memories from being lost. It’s how to save tales of your grandma’s favorite toy, your mother’s best friend, your dad’s first love. Knowing those stories preserves history that books may never hold.

And to get those stories, all you have to do is ask and listen. But, as in the new novel “Natchez Burning” by Greg Iles, be prepared for what you hear.

Natchez Mayor Penn Cage knew that District Attorney Shadrach Johnson only called the Mayor’s Office when he had no other option. Penn and Johnson were far from friends — one might even call them adversaries — but Johnson’s announcement that he was planning to file murder charges against Penn’s father stunned the mayor.

For more than 40 years, Tom Cage had been one of Natchez’s most beloved citizens. Dr. Tom had stitched, birthed, vaccinated and tended folks, black and white, and was considered “a saint” by many. That he was accused of killing Viola Turner was ludicrous but when Penn tried to clear up what was surely a misunderstanding, Tom cited doctor-patient confidentiality, saying only that he’d treated his former nurse before she died.

But somebody had killed Viola Turner by overdose, and her son, Lincoln, was pushing for an arrest. Darkskinned Lincoln hinted that racism might be a motive; back in the 1960s, when Viola worked for Tom, Natchez boiled with racial issues and it wasn’t unheard-of for a white man to take advantage of a black female employee.

To Penn, though, that didn’t describe his father.

Tom was known for his fairness and his morals, so Penn began to listen closer to old rumors that resurfaced — rumors about Viola and long-ago crimes supposedly committed by a group of local rednecks that called themselves Double Eagles. Penn heard about the brutality attributed to them, the whispers of attacks on black men and women, destruction of black businesses, people who disappeared without a trace.

Was his father involved

in those murderous activities? Was it possible? Penn wondered … and Tom wasn’t saying.

Though I Terri Schlichenmeyer have to admit that I was ready for the end of this novel by page 490, and though it has its predictable elements, “Natchez Burning” is a very good book.

Maybe that’s because author Greg Iles uses real history as a reference for this multi-layered thriller, which adds raw authenticity to scenarios that will surely give the average reader nightmares. Yes, there’s a whole cadre of bad guys here who would be better described as “horrible guys,” so heinous are the crimes that Iles allows them. Fortunately for readers, that’s nicely balanced by a likeable lawyer-cum-mayor with finely-honed crime-solving skills and a girlfriend who’s hungry for cold cases.

I don’t think this is a read-in-bed kind of book — in part because of many disturbingly heavy scenarios and partly because, at nearly 800 pages, this book is heavy. Still, it’s finely detailed, meticulously set, and written well enough that “Natchez Burning” is a book for which you should surely ask.

Terri Schlichenmeyer is a book reviewer from West Salem, Wis. She may be contacted at bookwormsez@yahoo.com.

Illinois Valley Scene

Visitors at the Putnam County Community Center on June 19 were asked to share a favorite summertime memory from their childhood.

“I’m originally from Kentucky.

The favorite thing to do was to go to my grandparents house and to go fishing. They had a nice big vegetable garden; we picked vegetables, just really enjoyed country living.”

— Autumn Keegan, PCCC director “I was thinking family get-togethers. My dad always made homemade ice cream every Sunday night.

My dad would make it mainly in July and August when it was so hot.”

— LouAnne Hewitt from Heritage Health “Fishing trips to Minnesota, to Brainard, or north of Brainard. Missawau was the resort. The resort is gone now.”

— Emily Stuckert, Spring Valley

“We always had family picnics on the Fourth of July. We had fireworks we liked to shoot. The red devils, the firecrackers, I used to like the big ones to shoot them off from the big bucket or washtub.”

— Marilyn Brock, Spring Valley “I lived on a farm. I enjoyed the threshing parties. I enjoyed that so much. We took water out to the men. We would feed them. It was so much fun.”

— Rachel Mershon, Granville “The day I met my wife — 1951 at the Putnam County Fair. Her name is Betty.”

— James Barnard, Standard

“Sitting out in the sun as a kid.”

— Judy Brye, LaSalle “I enjoyed my childhood all together. I had two older brothers and a younger sister. We used to play out in the dirt.”

— Judy Byran, McNabb “My favorite summertime activity was when I was a kid...laying out in the fresh mowed grass. Watching the clouds go by wasting the whole day.”

— Sandy Tarr, Leonore “My favorite memory is watching my fish pond. I have two goldfish, a Mollie, a Koi. They are so small; it is hard to tell what they are sometimes.”

— Mary Gulandi, Cedar Point

PRINCETON — One of the world’s great Zydeco artists, Terrance Simien, and his Zydeco Experience Band will appear in a free downtown street party from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. July 6 in Princeton.

Sponsored in part

by Heartland Bank and Trust, Simien and his band will arrive in Princeton fresh from performances at the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival in Davenport, Iowa, and the American Music Festival in west suburban Chicago.

An eighth generation Louisiana Creole, Simien received his second Grammy Award in January. Although steeped in traditional Zydeco music

— an upbeat blend of Cajun, Creole, blues, jazz and soul — Simien has extended his considerable vocal and instrumental talents to performing in all of these individual musical genres as well.

He has collaborated with the likes of Fats Domino, Sarah Vaughn and Randy Newman.

For more than 30 years, Simien and his band have performed more than 7,000 concerts in more than 45 countries, including being the first Zydeco band to appear in Cuba under the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department in 2006. He is a regularly featured performer at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

For the Princeton event, the block of South Main Street from Peru to Marion will be closed to auto traffic. Four and Twenty Café and Kramer’s will be serving Louisiana cuisine. Fitzgerald’s and Somewhere Else will be selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Those attending may be bring lawn chairs or simply stand, dance or wander.

In case of rain, the performance will be moved to the banquet room in Fitzgerald’s lower level.
