grapp@shawmedia.com While the COVID pandemic has changed a lot of what this school year is going to look like, one thing it hasn’t changed is the ability for exchange students to study in America.

Right now, because of the misconception that cultural exchange probably won’t happen this year, there is a great need for host families.

Andrea Crew, Illinois Field Manager for International Cultural Exchange Services who is based in Put-

nam County, said her agency does have a decreased amount of students coming to the U.S. this year, but the program is still going forward.

“Cultural exchange bridges the divide. If you turn on any news station at all, anyone can easily see that our world needs a global impact and foreign exchange students and their experiences help foreign relations now and in the future.”

Crew is currently seeking host families in Putnam County. There are also openings in Streator, Earlville, Leland, LaMoille, Serena and Spring Valley.

Crew said while it’s hard to put on a number on just how many families are needed this fall through ICES, she said it’s rare that a family would not have a student if they applied to host a student.

“New students submit applications daily, and students are matched to their new American families daily, as well,” she said.

Some may question what will happen to these students if schools revert back to remote learning full time due to an outbreak of COVID. But even if schools revert back to remote learning, Crew said ICES will allow ex-

change students to stay and continue learning remotely.

“We are committed to allowing the students their best experience regardless of the situation,” she said. “The Federal Department of State has made it very clear that they are not suspending the J-1 high school student visa program this year. They have been very flexible during the pandemic and continue to do so.”

Crew said there’s still a strong interest from students to spend a year in the U.S.

Student exchange is still happening this school year

Lostant mom saves prom

By KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com LOSTANT – A Lostant family threw a highly personalized prom after Putnam County High School canceled theirs due to COVID-19.

Like most local schools, Putnam County canceled this year’s prom due to coronavirus, but one Lostant woman, Jenifer Shaver, didn’t want to see her son and his girlfriend go without, so she threw them their own prom.

Shaver, a nurse who’s worked through the pandemic, and her husband Brian, LaSalle-Peru High School’s dean of students, have experience homeschooling their kids so creativity has always been a strong point for them.

She’s also no stranger to throwing a good family party – the mom of five has family fun nights that are second to none.

Thanks to her creativity, her family has had a virtual Hawaiian vacation, “camped in the mountains,” gone to outer space and visited princess fairy unicorn land right from home.

When it came to prom, she says throwing her own was a no-brainer.

“When our vacation got canceled, I decided we’d do a staycation, but not an ordinary one,” she said. “We went all out with a Hawaiian theme, with decorations, traditional foods, clothes, an ocean waves sound machine and music. Just because we had to stay home doesn’t mean we can’t leave in our minds.”

“I think it’s important to just be present in the moment, but turn

those moments into memories,” Shaver added.” I don’t want the kids’ memories to be that they didn’t get to play sports, or didn’t get to go to their prom.”

Shaver said she understands why prom was canceled and supports the administration 100% so she decided she didn’t want to try to throw a competing event, or one that could exclude anyone, so she decided to honor her son and his girlfriend with their own dance, but also included her two younger children and their Argentinian au pair Aldi who helped plan the event.

After deciding on a masquerade ball theme, Shaver got to work searching for formal wear, renting a dance floor – a well-kept secret that she says paid off when her son’s girlfriend Kendra laid eyes on it, making bouquets for the girls, getting lights, a sound system, chocolate fountain, backdrops and photographer lined up.

“I had a lot of amazing businesses help me out with deals on the dance floor, sound system, pie pops and more, because they were enthusiastic about the idea,” she said.

As for the results? She says the only people who knew about the dance floor were Aldi (the au pair) and I. “Corbin was super surprised and Kendra almost cried. I told her that she had to wait until after pictures,” Shaver said.

“Her parents came just for the pictures and they were both pretty teary-eyed. It was absolutely wonderful. They had the night of their lives.”

Kendra Crew and Corbin Shaver got to have a first dance at their own personal prom. The Putnam County couple didn’t let a canceled prom spoil their memories. Corbin’s family set up a masquerade-themed prom for the couple.

PRINCETON

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com A night originally scheduled for a farm-to-table fundraiser will have a new twist.

Or make that a curve.

The Arukah Institute of Healing will host a drive-in program and movie, featuring the 1989 Hollywood hit, “The Field of Dreams” on a big-screen.

The event will be open to cars at 7:30 p.m. with the program to start at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8, at Alter Acres, 1134 Prairie Lane S., Princeton.

A brief program with former Major League Baseball player Les Norman, who played for the Kansas City Royals in 1995-96, will proceed the movie. Norman, who grew up with an alcoholic, abusive father, is a syndicated sports radio host, “Breakin’ the Norm,” TV analyst, author and motivational speaker. He is a graduate of Braidwood Reed-

Custer High School.

Attendees may sit in their car in a safe, socially-distanced environment and tune in to FM for the program and movie. They are also welcome to sit outside their cars in chairs or on blankets.

Cost for the event is $100 per car. All proceeds will benefit the The Arukah Institute. Snacks and Arukah Institute “swag” will be available.

Tickets may be bought online at arukahinstitute. org.

Arukah Institute of Healing, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates in part on the generous support of community members.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the already rising mental health needs in the community. Arukah does what it can to keep services affordable, as a large portion of residents cannot afford mental healthcare. All donations are tax-deductible.

Former Big Leaguer Les Norman will speak at the Arukah drive-in fundraiser on Aug. 8.

PCCC staff will continue to provide assistance by phone & e-mail. Please call the phone numbers below or e-mail staff@pcaservices.org.

Assistance with nutrition & transportation will be uninterrupted.

During this time, anyone 60 and older is eligible to receive home delivered meals due to the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Rather than focus on what students may not be able to experience, there are so many things they still can do,” she said. “They can improve their English, experience culture, become a family member, study in America, even if it’s remotely, they can still mature and grow, become more independent and give back.”

Students who are approved for the program will undergo a health exam prior to leaving their home countries, which will include a screening for COVID-19, according to Crew.

SOB arrives in Peru to create unique, tasty food When SOB – which stands for Sushi or Burger – was preparing to open, I was excited to have another place in the area that offered sushi because it’s not something you can get many places locally.

The new restaurant at 612 Fourth St. in Peru didn’t open until February and, unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to go before restaurants were shut down because of COVID-19 precautions.

I finally got my opportunity and it didn’t disappoint.

The main draw for me is the sushi, and one neat feature of SOB is you can see the chefs preparing the rolls. The restaurant offers classic rolls, house rolls and “weird” rolls, and we sampled from each category.

One member of our group had the classic California ($6) and Philly lox ($7), which featured smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, avocado and bagel seasoning.

Another had the Shrimp Kicker ($8), prepared with tempura shrimp, avocado, cucumber, jalapeño, cream cheese and SOB sauce, and another ordered The I&M ($15), which contained tempura shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, SOB sauce, unagi and sweet Thai chili sauce.

All the flavors in each roll came together nicely, and the sauces, especially the sweet Thai chili, really kicked them up a notch.

We also ordered the BBQishi ($9) for an appetizer from the “weird” rolls, which were sushi rolls without seafood. This one had pulled pork, tempura onions, Korean barbecue and French fries, all deep-fried and topped with creamy slaw. It was unique, tasty and great for non-seafood eaters who want the sushi experience.

Other non-seafood rolls are tempura portabella, tempura chicken, beef and vegetables.

Our non-sushi eater had plenty of options. He had a build-your-own burger ($7) and truffle fries ($6). The array

SOB also serves mac and cheese, non-burger sandwiches, ramen, salads and a variety of appetizers from goat cheese balls to crispy pork belly to miso soup.

Of course, you can’t have

a dinner without drinks. SOB has a nice selection of beers and wines, but also provides a specialty drink menu, including Girlie Drink ($9), a cocktail with vodka, strawberry puree, fresh lime, rock candy syrup and club soda, which was a hit among our group.

To top things off, we ordered two delectable desserts:

the apple pie egg rolls served with vanilla ice cream, and the dessert of the week, which was a tempura brownie with vanilla ice cream.

The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, our server, Kat, was friendly and attentive and offered excellent recommendations, and, most importantly, the food

and drinks were delicious.

The brave battle ends

11

By CHARLIE ELLERBROCK

cellerbrock@shawmedia.com Toughness wasn’t just something that Steve Self tried to instill in the basketball players he coached. He lived it, too.

Self, who served two stints as the boys basketball head coach at Henry-Senachwine High School, died on Monday, July 27, at the age of 49, after a six-year battle with cancer.

“The Henry-Senachwine family is saddened by the loss of Steve Self,” read a release from HSHS superintendent Dr. Michael Miller. “As a teacher and coach, Steve was so dedicated and invested in our students, families, and schools.

Working with Steve for 17 years, I know the positive impact he had and know how much he cared about our schools and our community. We will miss and always remember Coach Self.”

Former Henry athletic director John Erwin, who retired after the last school year, spent 20 years working with Self, many of them sharing the same office. He remembers Self as an ambitious, hard-working man who was a successful coach, a strict but fair mentor to his players and students, but always with a witty sense of humor.

“Steve was a funny guy, a lot of fun to be around. I have a lot of fond memories of my years working with him,” said Erwin. “He was a very caring person. He cared about the kids, he cared about Henry-Senachwine High School and he cared about the community.

“He put up a good fight … He will be very much missed.”

St. Bede volleyball coach Karrie Damerell got to know Steve’s wife, Rita Self, through coaching against her Henry teams in the Tri-County Conference for many years. Ultimately, they became friends and got to know each others families better when their sons, Griffin Self and Braden Damerell, played junior football against each other.

“Steve was an avid sportsman, whether it was coaching his team, supporting Rita’s volleyball teams or sitting in the stands supporting our children’s teams,” she said. “He will be missed …

Steve Self, the former Henry-Senachwine High School teacher and boys basketball coach, died Monday, July 27, after fighting six years with cancer. He was 49.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rita and the Self family.”

Self, like his wife a native of Williamsfield, took over the Mallards hoops program in 2001-02 and over the next eight seasons, led them to a 92-124 record.

Joe Mintus, now the assistant principal at Mossville Elementary School, admitted he and Self were bitter rivals when the former first started coaching boys basketball at T-C rival Midland.

However, when Mintus’ assistant, Brian Yoder, left to coach at Flanagan-Cornell, he offered Self the spot and it paid off big.

In 2009-10, the first of his two seasons there working as an unpaid assistant, he helped Midland set a school record for wins, win both the Tri-County regular

season and conference tournament and a regional.

Later, Mintus returned the favor and joined Self at Henry.

“I always respected Steve’s teams and how hard they played,” Mintus said. “His attention to detail made me a better coach. He taught me so much. Steve was such a great guy. This is a sad day, for sure … He made Henry a better place.”

In his second term at HSHS, from 201112 through 2016-17, his clubs posted a 10069 mark over six seasons, but it was during this second tour at Henry that he fell ill.

After suffering from severe headaches, he had it checked out and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in July of 2014. During the subsequent surgery, he

underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatments that caused him weight loss, nausea, fatigue and the loss of his hair.

Through it all, with the help of his wife, his children 18-year-old Griffin and 16-year-old Hope and his many friends and colleagues, Self remained dedicated professionally and upbeat personally.

“Steve was a class act,” said Marquette coach Todd Hopkins, who like Self is a devoted St. Louis Cardinals fan. “He was a good guy to talk to, great guy, great family guy, a real basketball guy, too. He got everything out of those Henry kids that he possibly could and then some. He did a fantastic job … This is a tough deal for his family. You have to feel for them and the entire Henry community. It’s a big loss.”
