Shadows from yesteryear

It’s time for a flu shot!

Flu season is on its way

By Donna Barker

PRINCETON — The flu bug hasn’t yet taken a bite out of Bureau County, but health officials are beginning to gear up for the upcoming season.

PRINCETON — The CityCounty Park north of Princeton will be transformed this weekend into a Civil War camping site and battleground.

The 16th annual Shadows of the Blue and Gray begins at 10 a.m. Saturday with special events scheduled throughout the day until the park closes at 9 p.m. On Sunday, the gates open again at 9 a.m. and close at 4 p.m.

Shadows of the Blue and Gray spokesperson Randy Woodbury said this year’s event will be filled with the traditional favorite happenings, but it will also have some new opportunities to enjoy.

“We have the ever popular and amazing Max and Donna Daniels, as President and Mrs. Lincoln, who always do such an incredible presentation and are always a favorite. The living history artisans will be back again presenting their various crafts.

There will be lots of great music and entertainment for all ages, including the kids’ Civil War scavenger hunt and the Lincoln Look-Alike contest,” Woodbury said.

Among the new features this year are more activities for the children, including the “Civil War: Did You Know” program that allows children to learn about things which they might not have known, but in a fun and hands-on way, Woodbury said.

Also new this year will be a special presentation on Illinois women in the Civil War, which will give some unique insights on the role women from Illinois play during the war.

Like the past couple of years, the Civil War campgrounds will be open to area Boy Scouts to join the Civil

Various flu vaccination clinics are starting to pop-up in numerous locations throughout the county, which residents are encouraged to take advantage of to ward off the nasty bug that ultimately finds its way into the area.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the seasonal flu vaccine protects against the flu

viruses research indicates will be most common. This year, flu vaccines are made to protect against four viruses — influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2) and two different types of influenza B. Sue Gorman, infection control nurse at Perry Memorial Hospital, confirmed

Veterans would not be deterred ‘One of the most successful flights we’ve ever done’

By Derek Barichello Shaw Media Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — What does that World War II word “snafu” mean again?

Korean War veteran Donald Matthiessen of Sterling gave a censored version of the answer: “Situation normal, all fouled up.”

Thursday’s Honor Flight No. 25 of the Quad Cities almost never got off the ground.

After the plane struck an owl on its way to the Quad Cities airport, there was the possibility of the flight being canceled. It wasn’t,

but takeoff was delayed for nearly three hours.

Then there was the matter of memorials in Washington being closed to the public because of the federal government shutdown.

And, while the 92 veterans – about 60 from the Sauk Valley – were touring the sights, the death of a Connecticut woman who tried to ram her car through a White House barricade led to a temporary lockdown of the Capitol.

Despite all of that, Thursday’s Honor Flight

was “one of the most successful flights we’ve ever done,” hub Director Bob Morrison said.

The late flight meant a visit to the Vietnam Memorial wall had to be scrubbed. And the shutdown prevented the veterans from going to the Udvar-Hazy Center Air and Space Museum.

But this Honor Flight was the first from the area to tour the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon. It also got to add a bus tour of Fort Myer to the itinerary.

Ninety Korean War veterans made the trip; two served during World War II.

Members of the Quad Cities Honor Flight No. 25 pose for a photo during their trip to Washington, D.C. Nearly 30 veterans from Bureau County participated in the trip.

Honor Flight From Page 1

Flight delay The schedule broke from doughnuts and coffee at the airport to a tearful announcement from the Sun Country Airlines pilot that the flight was being delayed. The jet had struck an owl on its landing into Moline, and the airline had to be certain there was no safety risk.

After two hours of “hurrying up and waiting,” another military expression shared often Thursday, the plane’s engine was tested on the runway as more than a dozen veterans watched from a window.

Some cheered as the engine started up and again as the announcement came that the trip was a go.

Shortly after 10 a.m., about three hours off schedule, the plane was

!

in the air on its way to the nation’s capital.

“I’ve been looking forward to this trip with my son (Brian) for quite some time,” said Lowell Grummert of Sterling.

Grummert was drafted as an infantryman.

“My life was as worse as you can get, an infantryman with a rifle,” Grummert can say with a laugh now.

“That’s it, you just go out in the front line. No specialty, just a rifleman. You slept with your rifle.”

“Freedom is not free” Due to the morning’s delay, only about 15 minutes could be spent at the Korean War Memorial, if the veterans were going to have time to see the 4 p.m. “changing of the guard” at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

See the Bureau County Honor Flight roster on Page 20.

A barrier awaited veterans and on it a sign that read: “Due to the government shutdown, all national parks are closed.”

A handful of congressmen helped veterans get into the World War II Memorial.

U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, removed the barrier for veterans.

A handful of tourists of Korean descent waited outside and watched as veterans were granted access no others were given.

“I waited two years; did they think a barrier was going to stop me?” said veteran Melvin Haenitsch of Ashton.

As Craig DeDecker led his father Richard’s wheelchair into the monument, Braley put his hand on Richard’s shoulder.

“There’s nothing more special than being here father and son,” Braley said. “I would’ve loved to have taken my dad here, but he passed away.”

Different than the other war monuments in the Washington mall, the Korean War monument is filled with detail.

Sculptures of life-sized soldiers wearing rain gear stand out in the open there, while the faces of every occupation that had a hand in the Korean War effort are embossed into the memorial wall.

One veteran remembered telling his mom he was being sent to Korea, after being stationed

for a short while in the States.

“She knew something was up, and she was worried,” he said. “I told her I’m going to Korea. I said: ‘Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll come home.’”

Another veteran was impressed with the changing of the guards.

“They’re so polished,” he said of the soldiers.

“That’s really something. I’ll never forget that.”

Having to cancel the Lincoln Memorial and not being able to access the Iwo Jima Monument, a former Rock Island Arsenal worker, who is now stationed at the Pentagon, arranged the visit to the new 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon for the Honor Flight veterans.

Special thanks It’s safe to say all the veterans were impressed with the reception they received coming home.

Everywhere Honor Flight veterans went, whether it was getting off the plane in Washington, getting on the bus there, or arriving to the airport, they were met by people to give them a thank you and a handshake.

LEPC meeting canceled PRINCETON — The regular monthly meeting of the Bureau/Putnam County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) to be held at 10 a.m. Oct. 22 in the lower level conference room at Perry Memorial Hospital has been canceled. The next regular meeting will take place at 10 a.m. Nov. 26 in the lower level conference room at Perry Memorial Hospital. For more information, call Kristine Donarski at 815-875-2077.

Students from several schools in Illinois and Iowa, as well as family members, wrote letters to veterans. They were passed out during “mail time” before leaving Washington Dulles Airport.

The Quad Cities International Airport reception, however, was the grandest.

Hundreds of family, friends and veteran supporters made a path for veterans to exit the airport in the Quad Cities.

A bagpipe played and a grade school band provided patriotic music.

“I came home through Seattle, and we had a few people there to welcome us, and some dancers,” said one Army veteran.

“We just went straight home after that. Nothing like we had here.”

“I thought it was great,” another veteran said. “I won’t forget it.

I must’ve shook a thousand hands.”

Local veterans share their Honor Flight memories “I thought it was outstanding. I wish I had the vocabulary to tell people how wonderful it was. I got 32 years in the military ... The Korean War Memorial was most impressive.

As you go in, here’s the statues. They got to be 7-, 8-foot high. As you go in, it looks like they are on patrol, going through the rice paddies. There is a wall around it. They got pictures etched in the wall. When we got back in the bus, one of the guys in the bus told our bus captain, you can see the fear, the anxiety, the trepidation ... you can see every emotion you could possible see. The feeling can’t be expressed.”

Francis Rich, Princeton “It meant so much. We finally got a little recognition, which we didn’t receive when we got back from Korea. They did a wonderful job. This (trip) was all on no government money. The Korean War Memorial was especially touching. The Pentagon Memorial was a great memorial, and I would urge anyone who goes out to D.C. to see it too. The World War II monument was very nice too. I was so impressed, especially with all the people lined up to greet us in Dulles (Airport in D.C.) ... and then the ones who were there in the Quad Cities when we returned. It was very touching.”

Irvin Gustafson, Princeton “It was fantastic. It started out like it was going to be a disaster ... But then they got the plane fixed, and it was beautiful. They treated us fantastic. For me, (the most touching) was the Korean Memorial. It was so realistic. (When I was in Korea), I was out there in the field like that. It was so real. Or course the World War II was beautiful ... While we were waiting for the plane to come back at the airport, they had mail call for us. They had people write letters to us. I had a stack of cards from family and friends. I’m glad I didn’t open them then because I would have cried. They treated us beautifully. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Harold W. Graff, Dover

It’s another Girls’ Nite Out tunities exclusively for Girls’ Nite Out participants. The event will not only be a fun time, but it will also be an opportunity for shoppers to start thinking about the upcoming holiday season and perhaps, even make some purchases that will end up under the Christmas tree.

Other special features at the event will include a photo booth, live music in front of the Prouty Building and more. A new feature of Girls’ Nite Out this year is the opportunity to write out a wish list for the upcoming holidays. The Princeton Chamber will then deliver those wish lists to the designated person of choice.

“This is going to be a really fun evening, and of course, it’s a way to keep our dollars local,” said Frey. “As in the past, Girls’ Nite Out is a fun-filled activity where ladies can not only do some great shopping but also make some fun memories with their family and friends.”

PRINCETON — “Well, it’s a Girls Night Out! Honey, there ain’t no doubt; I’m gonna dance every dance ‘til the boys go home.

Well, it’s my night to rock.

No watchin’ that ol’ clock.

Oh, ain’t no doubt, Lordy, it’s a Girls Night Out!” When the popular country music duo, The Judds, sang the song “Girls Night Out,” one has to wonder if they had the also popular Princeton Chamber of Commerce event in mind.

Fun, shopping and lots of memories are ready to be had at the third annual Girls’ Nite Out, sponsored by the Princeton Chamber of Commerce. The event is set from 3 to 8 p.m. on Friday.

“The Girls’ Nite Out event is geared toward ladies of all ages, however, their male counterparts are welcome and encouraged to participate,” said Kim Frey, Princeton Chamber of Commerce

executive director.

Frey said participants should begin the night by registering at the Prouty Building on Princeton’s South Main Street before they begin their shopping excursions. Upon registration and a $5 participation fee, each participant will be given a list of businesses that are participating in the event, a special fun gift, and details on how they can win a $500 Chamber gift certificate.

After that, shoppers are on their own to explore the South and North end shopping districts. Free transportation will be provided between the districts.

Frey said many of the businesses are offering refreshments, specials and cost-saving oppor-

“I thought it was great. The whole thing was really good; I hadn’t been to Washington for 20 years. When we got back it was really nice. The people were lined up from one end of the airport to meet us. It was surprising to see how many young people were there.

Everything was really well organized; it went off without a hitch. I thought the Korean War Memorial was really nice; it stood out to me more than any of them.”

“Despite the delay in the trip, it was an all-around wonderful experience. The weather was great, and the trip was really well organized … When we got in, there were politicians everywhere who met with us, and although all the stuff with the government was going on, we never were aware of what was really happening. Nobody said much about it … It was really neat when we ran into a guy out there who was making camouflage-colored ice cream. I’d never seen anything like that before ... Getting back was also a site to see; I couldn’t believe the hundreds of people waiting to greet us when we flew in.”

The public wasn’t allowed in … When we landed, our pilot decided to change her uniform and put on one of our shirts and walked around with us and see the memorials. She was a very personable person, and you wouldn’t have noticed if she was a guardian or not.”

Flu

Gorman encourages residents to get a vaccination. She said Perry Memorial Hospital was fortunate this year as they have already received the seasonal vaccination, while other health facilities are still waiting on their supply.

She said one shot per year is enough. She confirmed the vaccine does not wear off throughout the season. If a person comes down with the flu after they have been vaccinated, it’s a sign the ever-changing flu organism has mutated and has infected the body.

Gorman also said the

vaccination takes about two weeks to go into affect, so people shouldn’t wait until the last minute to get it.

To help prevent the spreading of germs, Gorman said keep hands washed and cover the mouth when sneezing or coughing. Also, take advantage of sanitizing stations at local stores or near hospital entrances.

Sue Cater, who is the school nurse for Princeton and Ohio schools, also confirmed she hasn’t yet seen any flu cases. While she is unsure whether it will be a good or bad year for the flu bug, she stays

“pretty optimistic that it won’t be a bad year.”

Cater confirmed the schools will be holding vaccination clinics for local teachers and staff, as well.

“What we are stressing is good hand washing, that makes a big difference,” she said. “Also parents should really try to keep students home when they are sick.”

Cater said as the season slowly rolls in, people should stay informed and have increased awareness of what’s going regarding the flu season.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

From Page 1 on Friday zero cases has been treated this year, however hospital and EMS employees are preparing by getting their own vaccination.

It is unpredictable whether it will be a good or bad year for flu, however, Gorman confirmed cases usually don’t begin popping up until early November or December.

She confirmed Bureau County began seeing cases of flu in early November last year, which was labeled an early season.

Shadows From Page 1 War re-enactors on Saturday night for an overnight camping experience, Woodbury said.

“We are striving hard to present history in a fun and interesting way and to make sure there is something that will appeal to all ages and both genders,” Woodbury said.

On a personal note, Woodbury said he has been involved in some capacity for the past eight years with the Shadows of the Blue and Gray.

“I’m passionate about presenting history in a unique way, making it fun and not so boring,” Woodbury said. “I think it’s important to present history in a way that stands out from just the black-and white of text books.”

People who have never been interested in history or the Civil War will find the Shadows of the Blue and Gray to be an enjoyable outing and a fun learning opportunity, Woodbury said.

From the editor’s desk I was enjoying an early evening cup of coffee on my deck Sunday night, as I watched darkness envelope my home and yard. Quite frankly, I didn’t even know what time it was, but I assumed it was getting close to 8 p.m. Imagine my surprise when I went inside to grab a jacket and realized it wasn’t even 7 p.m. yet. Ugh! That’s right, friends. Mother Nature is stealing the sun right out from underneath us these days, which translates to the days Terri getting shorter and shorter. Daylight SavSimon ing Time ends Sunday, Nov. 3, so enjoy the dwindling daylight while you can.

••• Have you picked up your ticket for our upcoming Illinois Valley Living’s Women of Distinction Award luncheon, set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby? This is going to be a great event, and I hope you’re planning on coming.

Not only is the event orchestrated to honor our 10 Women of Distinction Award winners — Kim Abel of Mendota; Kathy Casstevens of Utica; Mary Ann Cernovich of Sheffield; Lisa Clinton of Cherry; Dawn Conerton of Magnolia; Pat Schou, Nedda Simon, Loretta Volker and Teresa Zearing of Princeton; and Judith Wilkins Wright of rural Tiskilwa — the event is also to honor every woman who has made a difference in the Illinois Valley. Let me stress, the luncheon is not just for women and about women. We hope to have several guys there to also show their appreciation to the women who help make the Illinois Valley world go ‘round. Trust me on this ... if you need some inspiration in your life, this is the event to attend.

On top of all of that, Princeton’s own Kathy O’Malley is our keynote speaker. O’Malley — a terrific volunteer, humanitarian and go-getter in the Illinois Valley — is the co-host of the popular WGN “Kathy and Judy Show.” If you know Kathy, you also know you’ll leave this event with a smile on your face. Don’t miss Kathy O’Malley’s words of wisdom, as she kicks off our inaugural event.

Tickets are $28 per person which includes the lunch, awards ceremony, goodie bag and giveaways, and at press time, there were still tickets available.

You can call our office at 815-875-4461 to order your tickets with a credit card, or feel free to stop by our office at 800 Ace Road in Princeton to buy them with a check or cash. If you’d like to send your check in the mail, please call our office first to check on availability.

I am so very excited about this special day. I’m proud to be the emcee, and I promise to keep the event rolling to have you on your way by 1:30 p.m.

Have questions? Give me a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 229. I hope to see you there.

••• What about our local heroes who attended last week’s Honor Flight! Congratulations to our local veterans who made the trip, as well as those of us back home who supported them. Local veteran Francis Rich said when he was in the service, people would say for every guy on the front line, there were 10 others behind the line that made it possible for him to serve there. Rich said those words came back to him on this Honor Flight — remarking there were so many people who graciously gave of their time and energy to make sure the Honor Flight veterans had a great and memorable experience.

••• Hall High School is celebrating Homecoming Week. This Friday they will take their Homecoming hoopla onto the gridiron where they’ll face area rival St. Bede Bruins.

••• It’s Girls’ Nite Out in Princeton on Friday evening. I’ll be signing my new book, “Grandma’s Cookie Jar,” in front of Hoffman’s Patterns of the Past that night. Hope to see you there.

••• Lots going on this fall. Plan on participating in some of these fun-filled local events. Take the kids and make it a family affair. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

Bull’s-eye A few weeks ago, we had guests visit us from Southern California, where Jeff and I grew up. They, like almost all our guests, asked us how we ended up in Sheffield, and it dawned on me that everyone seems to have this question, including people who live in Sheffield. Someone on our Facebook page suggested I share the story en masse, so here goes.

We threw a dart at the map.

If you believed me, that is about as arbitrary a way of landing somewhere as how we, in fact, got here. Truth be told, we didn’t care where we landed. The only thing that was important to us was the bed and breakfast we found. We literally looked all over the country, from east to west and north to south. We even considered properties in Canada on an island on Lake Superior that was uninhabitable for four months of the year because of snow and ice, and a property in Fes, Morocco, which was in ruins and would have required us to completely renovate it. So to say we weren’t necessarily concerned with geographic location is putting it mildly.

The more important factor for us was that the property we found fulfilled the list of criteria we had established. First, it had to be in budget. You can imagine that most properties on either the west or east coasts of the United States were pretty much out with that one. We also wanted an existing bed and breakfast that had at least four rooms, as we did not want to build or add on, nor did we want to try to appear before a zoning board to fight to convert a property to a bed and breakfast. It’s hard enough to get properties rezoned commercial, but just imagine these two kookie Californians with all their Moroccan furniture coming to small town in the Midwest and trying to get a property rezoned. You can imagine, at first, it would have been impossible.

A third factor for us was that we intended to operate as both a bed and breakfast and a restaurant. Most historic homes don’t

Monika Sudakov COMMENTARY have more than one small dining room, and we needed additional seating and room for tables. When this property popped up and had the spectacular sun porch it has, we jumped on the opportunity.

The property also needed to be located within a two-hour radius of a major metropolitan area. That is the typical driving distance for people who are travelling to bed and breakfasts. Sheffield is basically smack dab in the middle of Chicago, the Quad Cities and Peoria. Bingo!

Additional considerations included access to a highway making it easy to get to and from the property, and not being located in a touristy area. That may seem counterintuitive, but hear me out. We didn’t want to be in an area that was already saturated with both bed and breakfasts and restaurants. There wouldn’t be a market or a need for one more. So being in a small town in an area that had the need for something like this was a key to making our business model work. Very often people think our location is a pitfall for us, but in reality, we planned it that way. There is plenty to do in this area for a two-day getaway to keep people occupied. And quite honestly, our target marketing is more geared toward getting people out of the city and their hectic lives. Most of those people want to just relax, read, eat good food and not have to do something every minute of every day. Our peace and quiet is as much an appeal as our food.

I often think people who grow up and live in an area all their lives become jaded as to the beauty and opportunity in that area. I know that was the case for us in California and even when we lived in Las Vegas. You are so used to your surroundings that they no

longer seem like something that would be inviting to someone who is visiting for the first time.

But really, Sheffield and Bureau County in general has a wealth of things to offer to people who are coming here for a getaway. There is really something for every kind of interest anyone may have.

We have abundant golf and outdoor activities with the Hennepin Canal and Mautino Fish and Wildlife Preserve. There is lots of shopping and antiquing for those who love that. There are numerous historical sites nearby for history buffs. Festival 56 appeals to those who are looking for live theater.

We have spas for girls to get pampered; we have wonderful nurseries for the garden enthusiasts; we have live music on weekends at our local pub for music lovers; and we are even conveniently located to a couple wineries for wine lovers. Honestly, if you can’t find something to do in this area, you aren’t trying hard enough. Or as someone once put it to me who stayed with us, “It takes a boring person to be bored.”

The next logical question people ask us is if we miss California. I can unequivocally say without hesitation, no. I miss my family in California, but I do not miss the rat race, the traffic, the cost of living and the congestion. We love living here, and we love that we are able to live out our dream doing what makes us happy. We also love that we have the opportunity each and every day to bring people to this area to see all that it has to offer. What we do isn’t about becoming rich. If that was the goal we should probably re-evaluate our business model.

It’s about a lifestyle choice, and part of that lifestyle for us was to become a part of a community we care about and make a difference in it. We hope that in some small way we are doing that.

PMH to sponsor ‘Pink Night’ at DePue DEPUE — Perry Memorial Hospital in Princeton will sponsor a “Pink Night” Thursday at the girls’ volleyball game at DePue High School.

cer. Screening tests can find breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable.

“The care at Liberty Village went way beyond my expectations” I recently had a hip replacement and I heard that Liberty Village had a wonderful Bounce Back physical rehabilitation department. I visited the facility and it felt more like a week-end retreat. I was a little anxious but after seeing the beautiful facilities and meeting with the administrator and department heads I became relaxed. The staff, nurses and CNA’s are all very conscientious of your needs and extremely willing to help you any way they can.

Their main objective is to work with you to get you back to your full potential and to be able to go home. The food is excellent and you get choices with plenty to eat. The over-all care was excellent. I would definitely return to Liberty Village if the need ever arose again. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart!

BCR Game of the Week

sports@bcrnews.com

PERU — The Bruins capped off a week of Homecoming celebration with a showdown against Rockridge. As has been the case for most of the competition so far this season, it was a bad day for the Bruins as they tried to keep pace with the high octane offense of the Rockets.

St. Bede made some aggressive attempts to stay in the game but in the end turned the ball over more times than they found the end zone and Rockridge piled up 55 points to the Bruins’ 20 to walk away with another win.

At a glance: The Rockets overpowered the Bruins from the start, scoring 28 first-quarter points. St. Bede never got any close than 20 points the rest of the way to drop its first Homecoming game in six years.

Next: Bruins (4-2, 1-2) at Hall (3-3, 1-2)

“They’ve done it all year,” St. Bede coach John Bellino said.

“They’re just a good football team They don’t make mistakes. They just outclassed us really. We came

out with stars in our eyes and just weren’t ready to go. We worked on that stuff and just didn’t get it accomplished.”

The Rockets improved to 6-0, 4-0 atop the Three Rivers South Division. St. Bede stands at 4-2 overall, 1-2 for fourth place in the league heading into this week’s rivalry game at Hall.

Bruin quarterback Jack Brady was 11 of 24 passing for 128 yards and one touchdown. Justin Shaw led the Bruins with 33 yards rushing. Sam Halm added a 65-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

SBA honors 2013 HOF class

By Derek Johnson sports@bcrnews.com

2013 SBA Hall of Fame Class Leroy Herrmann Brad Koster Chris Lushina Thomas Heitmann Dr. Paul Perona James Piletic Lanny Slevin Tom Vallero

PERU — St. Bede continued homecoming week festivities honoring its 2013 Hall of Fame class Saturday morning.

The inductees included alumni Thomas Heitman, Leroy Herrmann, Brad Koster, Chris Lushina, Paul Perona, James Piletic and Tom Vallero. Also honored

as a friend of St. Bede, was newly retired WLPO Sports Director Lanny Slevin.

Heitman, Herrmann and Piletic were all three honored posthumously.

As a member of the 1988 class, Koster was a three-time MVP pitcher for the Bruins and a member of the ’88 state baseball championship team.

“You don’t realize

looking back how difficult it is to get to that state championship game,” said Koster, who thanked his parents for giving him the opportunity to come to St. Bede for the academics and to play sports.

When he got the call over the summer, ’91 graduate Lushina said he had time to reflect on being a Bruin.

A pit crew works quickly, changing four tires in seconds.

How fast can you find the four matching wheels?

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. (NASCAR) is one of North America's premier sports. NASCAR races are broadcast in more than 150 countries.

Special thanks to Sonoma Raceway, Ed Rueda and Danica Patrick for providing great access to our student reporter for this page!

anica Patrick is one of the few women in racing and is, by far, the most famous women racer of all time. “I always wanted to be the first me, not the next somebody else,” says Danica about how she never really had role models, she just strived to be her best.

Danica Patrick may seem like a rough and tough girl that races with the boys, but she says, “I’m girly away from the track!”

When asked what gets her pumped up before a race, she said that she gets ready by being introduced and waving to the fans. “I feel like I do better on the track when I’m in a better mood, so I try to just have a good time.”

Danica’s number 10 bright lime green Go Daddy car is always an impressive sight to see at NASCAR races.

Danica races in NASCAR which is a type of stock car racing. Stock car racing started with drivers racing cars that were the exact same as the cars on the streets today. Today, NASCAR stock car racing and NASCA AR cars still drive, look like the cars that we driv ve, but are much faster.

“I’ve done things that are more fulfilling as a driver, tha that aren’t first plac place,” says Danica.

“Even if you don’t win, always you should alway remember that you sometimes how yo did all day is better than winning.”

dn’t always Danica didn’t race in NASCAR. ASCAR. She used to racee in IndyCar. IndyCar ndyCar is a lot different nt from NASCAR because IndyCar cars ars are smaller and d lighter.

But, just because ecause the two types pes of cars are different, doesn’t mean ean one of them is easier to drive.

W When Danica raced in IndyCar, she was very successful.

She won in Japan in 2008.

However, that was not her favorite moment. She raced in Texas in 2010 and she was in the top five all day.

Even though she didn’t win, she felt like she did better in that race because she drove well the entire day. When I asked her for the highlight of her NASCAR career, she said that her favorite moment in her NASCAR career so far was when she raced in Martinsville, Va. She started in the very back and finished 12th, and that was satisfying Daytona. more satisfy ying g than at Dayt y ona.

Danica has known n that she wanted to be a racer since she was as 10 when she was racing cing go-karts. But before ore that, she wanted to be what a lot of young girls want to be, a veterinarian,, a singer, then finally, y, a race car driver.

Our student reporter, Kimberly Uzzo, interviewed drivers and found out more about NASCAR at Sonoma Raceway in California. Read more of her articles and interviews exclusively at kidscoopnews.com Kimberly is an eighth-grader whose favorite quote is “Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you out of the game.”

anica said she loves being with kids, whether it is at the track or away from the track. Because Danica is such a famous racer, a lot of kids go up to her and say, “I want to be just like you when I grow up.”

And when wh I asked Danica what her reply to this is, sshe said, “If somebody ever says want to be like me when they grow they wa up, I always alw tell them that they should want better than me.” to be be
