Nelson Chapel rededicated in honor of Freedom House founder Nedda Simon GOLDIE RAPP

grapp@bcrnews.com PRINCETON — On a beautiful spring Friday morning, Nelson Chapel in Princeton was rededicated in honor of Nedda J. and Donald H. Simon.

Nedda is the founder of Freedom House and her husband, Don, was her greatest supporter who stood at her side to ensure all needs of the shelter were met.

The chapel, along with the nextdoor shelter building and administrative offices, was recently purchased by Freedom House from Covenant Children’s Home.

The board and staff made a quick decision to honor their founder, Nedda Simon, two days before the 38th anniversary of when Freedom House was founded in 1983.

A small crowd, which included city of Princeton representatives, a representative from state Rep. Dan Swanson’s office, past and present Freedom House board members, and Simon’s family, gathered Friday for a short ceremony where Diana Whitney, vice president of the board, welcomed attendees and spoke of Nedda’s accomplishments.

She spoke of the great opposition Nedda was met with in the early 80s when she first spoke of the need for a local safe haven for victims and their children. Before Freedom House was opened, the nearest shelters for battered women were found in Peoria, Streator and the Quad Cities.

Whitney said little by little Nedda’s dream took shape and finally came to fruition in a small house in Wyanet.

The shelter later moved to 314 N. Euclid Ave. in Princeton and finally to its current location at 440 Elm Place.

Today, Freedom House serves five counties and has assisted thousands of women, men and children over its 38-year period. It’s a 24-hour/32-bed agency staffed by trained professionals serving victims of domestic and sexual violence.

“Though she may be small, she is mighty,” Whitney said. “Because of her vision and tenaciousness, a fully-trained, professional staff provides shelter, hours of counseling, legal advocacy, education and hope for all

Through it all, Nedda had Don at her side, who was there writing the first rent check for Freedom House, there to repair broken doors and windows, fix leaky washers, buy food, pay the light bill and hug Nedda when situations got tough.

On Friday, Nedda spoke of hope, which is the emotion she said fueled Freedom House, making it a reality.

“Hope is a personal and human trait. It’s an inspiration, actually. As far as I know and scientists know, human beings are the only ones that have the capacity to hope,” she said.

“When we hope, sometimes every other emotion is already gone. We’re absolutely out of fuel, but hope always seems to be there.”

Nedda said without Don, she couldn’t have done the work she did for Freedom House. She also thanked

Freedom House Executive Director Michael Zerneck for leading the agency to where it is today.

“Don and I can rest knowing that hope is here and it will last forever as long as it’s needed,” she said.

Putnam County libraries receive CPR kits

The Putnam County Library District was recently awarded CPR kits to help promote CPR education within the community.

Librarian Peggy Smith received the CPR kits to distribute out to the six Putnam County libraries for patrons to pick up during library hours.

The American Heart Association is poised and ready to provide community members with the surviving skill of hands-only CPR as 70% of cardiac emergencies happen in the home. The first 5-10 minutes of cardiac arrest is crucial and performing hands-only CPR immediately can double or triple the chances of survival.

The adult and child CPR Anytime Kits are designed for anyone to learn the core skills of CPR in just 20 minutes. The kits contain everything needed to learn basic CPR, AED skills and choking relief anywhere from the comfort of your home. Each kit comes with bilingual instruction in English and Spanish. The kits do not provide certification but the Adult and Child Anytime Kits are meant to extend the availability and

access to training so that more people can learn CPR and act quickly to save a life.

This donation was made possible by Walter Durley Boyle Foundation.

IVCC not selected for manufacturing academy

Despite local support to create the Central Illinois Manufacturing Academy with three other community colleges, Illinois Valley Community college’s proposal was not selected by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced that Heartland Community College and Southwestern Illinois College will be awarded $7.5 million each in DCEO funding to establish manufacturing academies.

“Although we are disappointed, the collegial process of pulling everyone and everything together was very worthwhile. I have no doubt parts of our plan will move forward one way or another,” IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said. “I am proud of our board’s support of our consortium’s plan and happy to extend a tip of the hat from all of us to our friends at Heartland and SWIC on a job well done.”

IVCC’s plan generated support letters from 17 district manufacturers, nine mayors, five chambers of commerce, five community-based organizations, an economic development director, two legislators and 15 superintendents.

IVCC, Illinois Central, Lincoln Land and Spoon River teamed up in IVCC’s application.

Funds from the auction bridge the tuition gap by over 61%, according to a news release from the school.

“Last year was a tough year for us,” Bonnie Prokup, manager of auction of special events, said in a news release.

“With the restrictions on social gatherings we were unable to hold this event, which greatly impacted us resulting in a decrease of $197,000 from 2019. We have great optimism that with the new options to participate,

great items up for auction, and the wonderful support from our St. Bede family, we will be successful in meeting this year’s goal.”

New this year is St. Bede’s MEGA Raffle, featuring about $21,000 in cash incentives and prizes. Tickets for the MEGA Raffle can be bought at www. st-bede.com.

The Fund-A-Need for this year’s auction will be for repairs and renovations to the skylights in the Abbey Church.

“Over the years, leaks have caused water damage in the church and various areas throughout this multi-purpose building,” Abbot Philip Davey, OSB, said in a news release. “There is a critical need to repair all the windows and glass, making everything watertight, and to stop the water damage.”

Craig was born on April 15, 1944, in Spring Valley to Charles H. and Marilyn Irene (Kunkel) Kassabaum.

He graduated from Hopkins High School and served in the United States Air Force as an instrumentation mechanic at Holloman Air Force Base. Craig worked at Keystone Steel and Wire. He enjoyed reading, genealogy and gardening.

Survivors include two sons, Charles (Lisa) Kassabaum of Danvers, IL, and Christopher (Cindy) (Kassabaum) Shefts of Mokena, IL; one daughter, Angela (Troy) Gorbett of

MARILYN J. FIEDLER Born: December 14, 1927 Died: November 23, 2020 GRANVILLE — Marilyn Jean Fiedler passed away on November 23, 2020, after suffering a fall and complications ensued.

Private family services will be held at a later date. Cremation rites have been accorded and internment at Granville Cemetery.

Dysart-Cofoid Funeral Chapel will be assisting the family with the arrangements.

Marilyn was born on December 14, 1927, in Browning, IL. She was the fourth daughter of

Ralph and Irene (DeJaynes) Van Ormer. Her parents’ families were both from west central Illinois in the Macomb area. Over the years, the family has been regaled with the stories of growing up on the banks of the Illinois River and the hills of Schulyler County.

As a young girl, Marilyn would spend her evenings climbing the bluffs overlooking the Illinois River, looking upstream and downstream, wondering where a young girl’s dreams lie. Her life led upstream when her father took a job teaching and coaching in Granville, IL. After graduating from Hopkins High School she took a job working in the office at Moews Seed Corn Company. On January 20, 1946, Marilyn married Kenneth Fiedler and became a farmer’s wife. She became a tractor operator and farmhand in between raising six children. Marilyn was a member of the Junior Halcyon Women’s Club at the United Church of Christ, and a volunteer of the Ground Observation Corps as an airplane spotter in the 1950s. Marilyn was an avid gardener and very particular about the house yard. The farming operation revolved around her Thursday afternoon lawn mowing.

She was an excellent cook and baker. Her family favorites were her vegetable soup and her strawberry rhubarb pie.

Marilyn was survived by one son, Richard (Christine) Fiedler; four daughters, Suzanne

Hollingshead of Spring Valley, Nancy Koehler of Bartlett, Tennessee, Amy (Mike Holler) Fiedler of Dupere, Wisconsin, and Ann (Brad) Meisenheimer of Sammamish, Washington; seven grandchildren; and eight greatgrandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Kenneth; her sisters, Marjorie Klickna, Caroline Trimble and Eleanor Clark; daughter, Anita Bailey; granddaughter, Lisa Koehler; and sons-in-law, Grady Hollingshead and Gary Koehler.

Online condolences may be made to her family at www.dcfunerals.com.

ILLINOIS

Illinois will enter the bridge phase — the last step before a full reopening out of the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 14, Gov. JB Pritzker announced on May 7.

“The light that we can see at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter as more people get vaccinated,” Pritzker said.

In the bridge phase, restaurants can increase indoor capacity to 30% and outdoor dining capacity to 50%, and health and fitness centers, offices, personal care businesses, museums, spectator events, theaters and performing arts, and zoos can increase to 60% capacity.

Meetings, conferences and convention centers can increase capacity limits to 1,000 people or 60% capacity, whichever is less.

The bridge phase will last 28 days, which is two coronavirus incubation cycles to allow for monitoring, Pritzker said. If there is not a sustained increase in hospitalizations, hospital admissions for COVID-19-like illness, new cases or deaths over that 28-day period, the state will advance to Phase 5.

With Thursday’s announcement,

the target for Phase 5, a full reopening of the state with no capacity limits on businesses, would be June 11.

“This good news comes with a caveat: We have all seen throughout this pandemic that this virus and its variants have proven to be unpredictable,” Pritzker said. “Metrics that look strong today are far from a guarantee of how things will look a week, two weeks, a month from now.”

Face masks will be required even in Phase 5, as long as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends them, Pritzker said, adding that if the CDC were to loosen guidance for mask requirements, the state would look to do the same.

Pritzker also announced that Illinois is expanding vaccine availability to physicians offices, allowing them to become COVID-19 vaccine providers.

The governor’s office said 1,054 doctors offices already have registered to administer the vaccine on-site. To begin providing the vaccine, doctors must register with Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange, better known as I-CARE, to coordinate the ordering of doses.

Gov. JB Pritzker tions have stabilized.

“Vaccination is how we can get back to summer camps, swimming lessons and youth sports, but it is not something the Illinois Department of Public Health can do on its own. We need everyone’s help. If you’ve been vaccinated, talk with your friends and co-workers about getting vaccinated,” Ezike said. “Research shows that health care providers, as well as friends and family, are who most people look to when deciding to get vaccinated. Wear your mask, avoid large crowds and get your shot.”

PUTNAM COUNTY BASEBALL ROUNDUP

PUTNAM COUNTY

Millions of dollars coming to 6-county area, including LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam and Livingston

Roughly $72.8 million from the American Rescue Plan funding is on the way to La Salle, Bureau, Livingston, Putnam, Marshall and Stark counties.

That total amount includes about $24.2 million for cities and villages and about $48.6 million coming to counties.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is preparing to release guidance on how the funds can be spent. The money will be dispersed in two separate portions. Counties and designated “metropolitan” cities will receive their first portion directly from the U.S. Treasury no later than May 10.

All other cities and villages will

“This is about making it as easy as possible for those who have not yet gotten vaccinated to protect themselves from COVID-19,” Pritzker said.

“For some people, that’s a matter of comfort. They’d rather get a vaccine from a doctor they know and trust.”

Pediatrician offices also can sign up in preparation for kids younger than 16 being approved for COVID-19 vaccines, which could happen as early as next week for kids ages 12 to 15 for the Pfizer vaccine, IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said.

“We will not waste any opportunity to get someone vaccinated because we know this vaccine is a lifesaver,” Ezike said.

Mass vaccination sites will remain open, Pritzker said, adding that the state may adjust the number of Illinois National Guard members working the sites to mobile vaccination efforts if mass vaccination site demand drops.

Pritzker originally announced the bridge phase March 18, but the state had to pause it two weeks later after a sustained increase in hospitalizations and new COVID-19 cases.

Since then, the state has seen a decline in new cases and hospitaliza-

receive their distributions through the state of Illinois. The state has an additional 30 days to distribute the recovery funds, which means cities and villages will receive their first portion by June 9, and second payment no earlier than 12 months after the first payment.

IVCC will host outdoor musical revue

“Steppin’ Out” runs May 14-16 and May 21-23 at Hegeler Carus Mansion TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com Farmers are hoping for more rain — Starved Rock Country is on the cusp of drought — but Don Grant Zellmer has his fingers tightly-crossed for clear skies the next two weekends.

Zellmer is IVCC’s director and choreographer of musical theatre and he’s had to repeatedly break the news to students that the show can’t go on — not while the novel coronavirus is lurking. An indoor show is off the table.

But what about an outdoor show?

Zellmer thought it over, decided to gamble on clear skies and had everyone rehearse for “Steppin’ Out! Broadway Under The Stars!” IVCC’s first outdoor musical revue runs at 7:30 p.m. Fridays through Sundays the weekends of May 14-16 and 21-23.

“After over a year of producing online productions,” Zellmer said, “our performers were ready to get back in front of an audience. Performing a show outside, at this point in time, seems to be the only option until mitigation changes, and we’re delighted to have partnered with the Hegeler Carus Mansion to make this happen. Our cast and crew is fully vaccinated and ready to go.”

They’re indoors for this publicity photo, but they’ll perform outside the Hegeler Carus Mansion for “Steppin’ Out,” IVCC’s first outdoor musical revue. Pictured (front row, from left) are Emily Pytel, Mary Rose Prosinski and Alexis Trammel; (second row) Ashle Hurst, Karen Lesman and Grace Mccormick; (third row) Jame Jakielski, Kelly Johnson and Melanie Maskel; (fourth row) Bob Philip, Pj Olsen and Mark Fulkerson; and (back row) Megan Cullinan, Reid Tomasson and Issac Alvarado.

The pandemic struck IVCC hard. In 2019, the theatre department set attendance records and drew ever-larger casts. Hopes were high that 2020 would build on that success, but Zellmer said the pandemic led to “heartbreaking” cancellations.

Zellmer first responded with livestream performances featuring local performers and guest performers including Broadway veteran Frank Vlastnik. These ventures were successful, but Zellmer and his performers yearned to perform live again. The Hegeler Carus Mansion had successfully held outdoor concerts using social distancing and Zellmer proposed staging a music revue before the concert series begins.

“Everybody said, ‘Go for it,’” Zellmer said, “so we will be back performing with our family performers — just not inside, we’re doing it outside.”

It was a catchy brainstorm. The hope now is there will be no storms.

The fast-moving musical revue features the music of Broadway from classics to contemporary, and a cast made up of students, alumni, and community members. They include Mary Rose Prosinski, Ashley Hurst, Reid Tomasson, Grace McCormick, Alexis Trammel, Megan Cullinan, Karen Lesman, Emily Pytel, PJ Olsen, Mark Fulkerson, Isaac Alvarado, Jake Jakieleski, Kelly Johnson, Bob Philip, and Melanie Maskel.

“It was so indescribably good to be

back in the studio and rehearsing again,” Pytel said. “As a theatre person, I’ve missed this creative outlet so much over the past year. Another performer said after the first rehearsal, ‘Tonight make my heart happy.’ And I couldn’t agree more.”

Tickets are currently on sale, and audiences are urged to order them online at https://www.showtix4u. com/event-details/51887. Admission is $15 per person, a portion of which goes to the Hegeler Carus Mansion. Audience members should bring their own lawn chairs, as well as light refreshments. Gates open one hour prior to showtime at 6:30 p.m. Guests need to follow the guidelines posted on the ticket site regarding mitigation.

PRINCETON

Festival 56 seeks high school student, recent graduate apprentices

Applications due by May 17 PRINCETON — Festival 56 in Princeton will offer up to four high school students and this year’s graduates the opportunity to work as paid apprentices with the resident professional company with various aspects of theatre production.

This program is made possible through the National Endowment for the Grants by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

Over eight weeks, each high school student will be assigned to work in one or more of the following areas: scenic design (including properties and scenic art), technical direction (and scenic construction),

costume design (including construction and wardrobe), directing (including choreography and/or music direction), lighting and sound design (including electrics and engineering), Camp 56, production and stage management, and public relations (including marketing and audience services).

Apprentices will work 17-20 hours per week and will have the opportunity to enter into a mentorship with one of the company’s professional artists. Apprentices will also have the opportunity to volunteer additional time in one or more area of theatre production. Applicants must be available to work for an eight-week period between May 31 to Aug. 6.

To apply, submit a cover letter (including contact information) stating previous experience, goals relating to future studies or a career in the theatre arts at the college or professional level, and a personal artistic statement.

Following a review of the applicants, those moving on to the next level will be interviewed. One letter of recommendation will be required from a teacher or artistic mentor.

The Illinois Child Labor Law (820 ILCS 205/1 et seq.) regulates the

employment of minors under the age of 16 years and requires all minors to have employment certificates.

The required procedures for teens younger than 16 are: “Letter of intent to hire” must be obtained from all prospective employers. The letter must outline hours worked; teen and parent or guardian must bring this letter to an issuing officer at minor’s school or school district to obtain the required work permit; the issuing officer will review criteria and verify safety before issuing the work permit.
