GRANVILLE — As the newest member of the Putnam County School Board finished taking his oath, received congratulations from the other board members and took his seat, a former member took issue with the process and claimed the board was not following its own policies or those of the state. Jason Judd, a resident of Hennepin Township, was the new member who filled the seat left vacant by Kristina Popurella, a resident of Granville Township, during the Oct. 16 board meeting. Judith Hopkins, a school board member from 2005 to 2013, was who claimed Judd doesn’t meet the residential requirements of the board’s own policy and that of the Illinois School Code. Hopkins said the seat should be filled by a resident of the same township as Popurella and if neither the board nor the Regional Office of Education (ROE) could find an appointee that the seat should remain vacant until the next election. She also claimed seating Judd was illegal and all actions taken by the board as long as Judd is a member would be null and void. James Gibson, PC School Board president, said the board had the right to adapt their policies as needed and that both the ROE and their attorney had no issue with Judd becoming a school board member. Hopkins didn’t accept Gibson’s explanation and asked for the minutes of the previous meeting where the initial motions had been made to be read out loud.

Village looking for the next Clark Griswold Christmas lights contest will challenge residents to brighten village’s holiday spirit BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com HENNEPIN — While we’re still several days away from Halloween and have Thanksgiving dinners to prepare after that, the Hennepin Village Board has turned its thoughts toward Christmas. And following their recent announcement, residents will have plenty of time to prepare their inner-Clark Griswold, or perhaps even their Cousin Eddie. Board member Quentin Buffington first announced at the Oct. 18 meeting that Ameren has completed the transition to the new electrical system in Walter Durley Boyle Park and added they will be gradually changing the village’s streetlights over to LED bulbs. He said once all the lights are changed over to LEDs, the village is projected to save $1,200 annually. Buffington also said the village will be changing the lights for the village’s Christmas tree this year to light strands with smaller bulbs after squirrels previously targeted the ones with larger bulbs. “I received reports of

In other board news • The board approved a variance request to allow Growmark to exercise a right to purchase its building from Marquis Energy. “Nothing is changing there, it’s all the same players and this is basically a technicality because of the small size of the property in question,” village engineer Bill Shafer said. • Shafer also said most of the High Street project will be completed within the next few weeks and that the project has progressed as planned. • The board agreed to schedule the fall street sweeping for the week of Nov. 27.

Putnam County Primary School teacher Amy Bell’s second-grade class enjoyed painting the rocks which will become part of the Rotary sponsored rock garden at the school. Inspired by the popular children’s book, “There’s Only One You,” each student turned their rock into a personally designed fish. Once all the classes have completed their creations, they’ll be combined into a large school of unique fish which will be “swimming” in the garden visible from the windows of the school library.

GRANVILLE VILLAGE BOARD

Traveling toward a smoother McCoy Street Board is preparing financing for major improvement project

“I think the majority of people realize what we’re up against and that this one has to be done.” Lucian Verda

Granville Village Board member

BY DAVE COOK news@putnamcountyrecord.com GRANVILLE — Knowing neither the costs of delayed construction, nor the condition of Granville’s wash-boarded McCoy Street are likely to improve, the Granville Village Board has taken steps which will likely see the long-awaited project underway next year. The board discussed financing of the estimated $700,000 project with John Vezzetti, of Bernardi Securities, Inc. during the Oct. 17 board meeting. Vezzetti said taking advantage of the currently low rates for a 20-year bond would save on interest. He provided an estimation it would result in an approximate $85 per year increase in property taxes on the assessed value of a $100,000 home, although certain exemptions could result in a lower amount. When concerns were raised about the possibility of the project exceeding $700,000, village engineer Mike Richetta of Chamlin & Associates said he’d factored a $100,000 overrun into his plans and added last year’s asphalt costs were the lowest they’ve been in more than a decade. The board expressed a desire to Vezzetti to use a local bank for

the bonds and said they wished to meet with both Vezzetti and bank representatives to ensure they would be able to work together on the project. Vezzetti said after discussing the financing with the bank, the next steps will be to craft and pass an ordinance and hold a public hearing. Vezzetti added that 10 percent of the village’s registered voters could force the issue to a referendum. “I think the majority of people realize what we’re up against and that this has to be done,” board member Lucian Verda said. “It needs to be done and it’s not going to get any cheaper,” added village president Jared Baker.

Smoking the sewers Richetta discussed the ongoing work in the village to identify the causes of the wide-spread and increased flooding experienced by many homes earlier this year. Some sewer lines have already been visually inspected and the next steps will involve smoke. Richetta said the contractor will do the smoke testing for $175 per hour plus the cost of the chemicals needed to create the smoke. He said in a

day’s work they could inspect approximately 3,500 feet of sewer lines for roughly $1,800 depending on how much smoke is needed. Richetta said 3,500 feet would cover roughly 10 blocks and he would arrange for the contractor to develop a proposal for three days of testing. He added the smoke will find any drainage issues. “We’d start on Silverspoon, south down Archie, down Colby and probably down Elm. Smoke will come out of the ground, out of downspouts, drains and basins, anywhere there’s an issue. This will be your best bet to find problems,” he said of the testing areas. Before the work begins, the village will send homeowners a notification of the work and will also alert the village’s police and fire departments. Any homes with improper connections will be responsible for correcting the situation and problems found in other areas will be the village’s responsibility. The board also discussed the need for the homeowners on the north side of the 500 block of West Main Street, who were previously asked by registered letter, to finally connect their homes to a

newer line on the other side of their properties. “Some of those houses are getting water flooding their basements and it’s because they’re hooked up to that old sewer. We’re going to have to resubmit letters to them and tell them this has to be done,” board member Jim Pettit said. The board said they need to abandon the problematic line and that no further repairs will be made if the line collapses.

In other board news The board passed the ordinance regarding raffles, poker runs, 50/50 drawings and other games of chance which will provide for better accountability. Village attorney Brad Popurella said the $10 application fee will be good for one year and will cover any events within that period. The board also passed an ordinance, which will take effect on Jan. 1, to raise the village’s water and sewer rates by 50 cents, 25 cents for water and 25 cents for sewer, for the first 2,000 gallons and an additional 50 cents for every subsequent 1,000 gallons. The ordinance also raises the re-connection fee to $50 during business hours and $150 during other times. The board reminded the village the Halloween celebrations will begin with the parade at 5 p.m. followed by food and refreshments at the park and trick-ortreating hours from 6 to 8 p.m.

Wyatt hit-andrun trial date set for Jan. 29 Dobrich will stand trial for criminal felony fatality OTTAWA — Luke T. Dobrich, 39, of Oglesby will stand before Judge Cynthia Raccuglia and a jury for his felony trial at 10 a.m. Jan. 29, 2018. He faces the charges of aggravated DUI and reckless homicide for the hitand-run accident which killed Wyatt K.L. Wyatt, 22, of Spring Valley on the night of June 4. Wyatt’s body was found on Bottom Road between Granville and Peru and Dobrich was arrested soon after. He initially faced charges for one count of leaving the scene of an accident leading to a death, a Class 4 felony. Dobrich paid 10 percent of a $100,000 bond and was released pending his trial. On Sept. 26, a LaSalle County grand jury indicted Dobrich on the additional charges of one count of reckless homicide and two counts of aggravated DUI. Dobrich remains free on the original bond and his next court date will be a motions hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Jan. 19.

• BOARD Continued from Page 1 Board member Adriane Shore later made a motion to ask for an outside attorney to review the situation and the board agreed. “I can’t go forward if we did the wrong thing. If we made a mistake we need to fix it,” Shore said. Board member Laurie Glenn addressed Hopkins. “Judy, I just want you to know everyone sitting on this board is here to do the right thing for every student in this district, not just the ones from their district, we do it as a whole district. We’ve done what we needed to do. We’ve talked to the lawyers and we’ve followed protocol,” Glenn said. “I think it’s great we have people who wanted to step up and do this because when there was an election there was nobody who wanted to run. I think we ought to be happy we have somebody to fill the spot so there’s not a tie when we have an important vote. I want you to remember we’re here for the benefit of everyone,” Glenn added.

State funding Superintendent Carl Carlson reported the district has received from the state three of the four mandated payments from last fiscal year. “This still accounts to $343,638.88 the district had to cover on its own due

to the state’s inability to meet mandated payments. To date, we’ve not received any mandated categorical payments for this fiscal year,” he said. Carlson also said since the passage of Senate Bill 1476 the state has caught up with payments for General State Aid (GSA). Last year the district received approximately $515,000. “Under the new evidence-based funding formula, the district is projected to receive $843,309.72 in GSA. This is up $325,808.12 from last year’s projection, but I want to caution all the board members that the amount of payments could change once the dust settles on the new legislation and the formula is carefully run for each district,” he said. He added he’s still concerned over the large reduction in the district’s Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax (CPPRT). Carlson said he’s remained in contact with superintendents from across the state who are in the same situation and said he’s heard news of a bill being drafted to address the funding shortfall.

Anti-bullying events The district announced they will be hosting BMX flatland stunt rider Matt Wilhelm’s anti-bullying presentation on Nov. 8. Wilhelm will be performing and speaking at the pri-

Wilhelm, who is from Illinois, is a three-time X-Games medalist, a twotime U.S. National Champion, a bronze and silver medalist at the World Championships, a winner of television’s “30 Seconds to Fame” competition and a semi-finalist on television’s “America’s Got Talent.”

SPRINGFIELD

White: Teen driving deaths down 51 percent since GDL overhaul in ’08 SPRINGFIELD — Kicking off National Teen Driver Safety Week, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced teen driving deaths have decreased by more than half. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were 155 teen driving deaths (age 16-19) in 2007. Since White’s efforts to overhaul the state’s graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws took effect in 2008, teen driving fatalities have dropped by 51 percent — with 76 teen driving deaths in 2016. Many cite White’s nationally heralded GDL program for the decrease. “When I first assembled the Teen Driver Safety Task Force, we knew we faced a difficult task,” said White. “I am pleased this law is working as we intended. The goal has always been to save lives. We worked hard to strengthen our GDL program and make it one of the best in the nation.” Illinois’ GDL program better prepares novice, teen drivers by giving them more time to obtain valuable driving

experience while under the watchful eye of a parent or guardian, limiting in-car distractions and requiring teens to earn their way from one stage to the next by avoiding traffic convictions. White emphasized the important roles that parents, high school teachers and driver education instructors play in preparing safe and responsible teen drivers. State and national traffic safety organizations have praised Illinois’ stronger GDL program as one of the best in the nation. To learn more about the state’s GDL program, visit www. cyberdriveillinois.com. White is also reminding the public that National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct. 15-21, a time when parents and caregivers are encouraged to talk to teens about staying safe behind the wheel. It is important to discuss how to avoid risky driving behaviors such as texting while driving, drinking alcohol, speeding and not wearing a seat belt.

HOLIDAYS

Police group offers Halloween safety tips SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has released their annual list of tips to keep trick-or-treaters and their escorts safe during Halloween. “Kids and their parents can have a safe and enjoyable trick-or-treating experience by following these few, simple safety tips,” said Illinois FOP President Chris Southwood. “Illinois’ law enforcement officers urge everyone to

make sure the only scares this Halloween are the make-believe kind.” The FOP offers the following Halloween safety tips: • Children should only go trick-ortreating with a responsible adult. Be sure to follow all local ordinances regarding trick-or-treating times, ages, and areas.

• Make sure kids know how to safely cross streets — look in both directions, and only use crosswalks or well-lit street corners. Tell them to not cut through back alleys and fields and to stay in welllit areas with lots of people around. • Know the route your children will take while trick-or-treating if you are not going with them. Have them check in at set times, either by phone or by stopping back by your residence. • Make sure your children have costumes that are fire retardant, contain reflective strips or material, do not obstruct their vision or movement, and that any props that depict knives or other sharp objects are made of a dull, flexible material. Have at least one flashlight per group of trick-or-treaters.

• SAFETY Continued from Page 4 • If you can’t accompany your younger children as they trick-or-treat, make sure at least one, and preferably more, responsible adults go with them. Set a curfew for the children and make sure they understand how important it is to arrive back home on time. • Instruct children that they should never go into a stranger’s house or car unless their parents or other trusted adults are with them and say it’s OK. They should never go anywhere with a stranger, and if a stranger tries to make them go somewhere they should scream as loudly as possible and run to safety as quickly as they can.

Pay close attention while driving, especially at crosswalks, intersections, the side of the road, and by parked cars. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas, do not pass vehicles that have stopped in the road, and pull off the road in a safe spot and turn on your emergency flashers when picking up or dropping off children.

Try to make each child’s costume unique in some way so they can be easily spotted. • Serve your children a filling meal before they trick-or-treat so they won’t be tempted to eat the treats before they get back home. Carefully examine all of the treats before you let your children handle or consume them. • Several days before trick-or-treating, check the local and state sex offender websites to see if there are any sex offenders living in your area. If there are, make sure your children avoid those homes. • Remind children that it is wrong to vandalize property or hurt animals. • To lessen the chance of allergic reactions, try any makeup products on

Dumbbells and noodles

he blood pressure’s up and my body’s gone down below in that infernal hand-basket. While we all like to blame other causes for our deficiencies (like old age), I have to own up to the fact I just plain got careless and lazy. COMMENTARY So, it’s time to get on the stick and do something about it. I Earlene checked the various opportunities available at the Bureau County Campbell Metro Center. Quite a few of my friends do the Body Works class. I used to do that, and just the thought of starting out working that hard made me want to burrow down even deeper into the couch cushions with a good book. Getting up early, or starting my day with hard physical labor has no appeal for me. I ran across the “Water Walking” ladies in the coffee shop, and they encouraged me to try it. Somehow playing around in water sounded much more desirable than lying on the floor doing crunches. “I wear my swimsuit to class and it saves time,” Jan Milles said. I certainly appreciated that bit of advice. On Sept. 28, I walked through the door of the Metro Center and was launched off on my first water session. “Here, Earlene, I got your dumbbells for you. You need to get them from the closet each time before getting in the water,” Betty Peterson instructed, indicating from then on I was on my own. “Then you need a noodle,” she continued. It was like walking into a foreign underwater world with a strange language. The dumbbells are weird hard-plastic slotted instruments with four wings sticking out and a handle tucked inside. Noodles are long foam cylinders, much like fat floating spaghettis. My guess is, you are thinking exactly what I was when presented with the concept of using holey dumbbells and spaghetti shaped foam noodles for a workout. “What the heck?!” Some crazy person came along and thought it was a good idea to use the dumbbells as water resistant paddles and the noodles for flotation devices. Elizabeth, the instructor said, “Mount your noodles like they’re horses.” There’s no stir-ups! “Now peddle across the pool like they’re bicycles.” How’s that for confusing? Those puppies are amazingly resistant to staying under water. The noodle is utilized many more ways to build our bodies but does nothing for the cellulite. The beauty is, the Water Walking class doubles as a social hour, whereas the jaw muscles are exercised twice as much as any of the other muscles in the body. Many problems and solutions are bounced off the waves of the pool. It was there I was instructed to get my butt into the doctor that day regarding my high blood pressure. Due to the nurse’s alarm, I got in that afternoon. Waiting for two extra doses of BP meds to work, I was held captive in the doctor’s office. First dose – up a little; second dose – up a little more. “So how’s that working for you, Doc?” I guess he gave up, as I was let go with a prescription doubling up my current one. At the follow-up appointment, I’ll probably have to cut out all the good stuff like salt and caffeine. Exercise and diet are the key factors – so they tell me. Since I have done neither lately, I guess they may be onto something. So it seems I need to continue going to the regular water sessions. My gut feeling is this will be a never-ending project. We walked out of the “Met” with everything dampened except our spirits. The fun continued as we gathered at the coffee shop where we sat on our water-logged buns doubling up the jaw exercise by talking and chewing all at the same time. Most of us worked on a piece of pie washed down with strong coffee. I chose a piece of raspberry, and any twocrust pie screams “a la mode!” Thus, I was served a healthy slice of fruit, milk product, sugar and lard. I’ve been water-walking/coffee-slurping twice already and haven’t seen a noticeable difference in the way my jeans fit. Hopefully I won’t – it could go either way. Regardless, I foresee spending many wet hours with dumbbells and noodles. Don’t forget to FROG.

Observations From the Field of Dreams

arlier this year, the Putnam County Historical Society hosted Jerry and Bob Read during its annual open house at the new meeting house by the Ag Museum. Their topic was “Dukes to Read Bros. Inc.” The two brothers showed a slide show and both talked about the history of the Duke and Read stores in Henry. This is what they said. “The Joseph Duke family came to Henry from Ireland in 1850. Joseph was engaged in the boot and shoe business in Henry. His sons, Thomas and William, learned at an early age that hard work and pride in one’s work can yield awards. Thomas Duke learned blacksmithing. In 1875, Thomas purchased a machine shop. Thomas patented several inventions and sold patents for $3,000. These patent sales allowed Duke and his brother William to go in business. “The firm, Duke Brothers, was established in the year 1880. In 1881, Thomas and William organized the Duke Brothers’ agriculture and hardware store. By 1897, business was so good that a trainload of buggies was retailed in one week. There is a picture of flat cars loaded with buggies leaving Henry. Many other buggies were shipped on the Illinois river. “Seeing a growing demand for grain binders, steam threshers and other farm tools, they secured

COMMENTARY Darrell Alleman the agency for a number of these machines and entered the farm implement sales arena. The fire of 1901, which swept almost all of the business block on Edward Street from Second to Third Street, gave the Duke Brothers an opportunity to secure a better location. They decided to build onto Lot 408 Edward Street. They erected a two-story building that measured 80x150 feet. “Duke Brothers’ inventory was so large that they laid claim to one of the finest and largest stocks of merchandise in the entire state. After 31 years of business, Thomas Duke died in 1911. His brother William Duke worked until 1921 when ill health caused his retirement. “He sold his interest to Clarence and Walter Duke, the next generation -- Thomas’ sons. They operated the business until Clarence’s death in 1941. Walter continued the dealership with Clarence’s two sons, William and Thomas. Thomas later became associated with the Farm Bureau. “Duke Brothers represented the International Harvester Co. for more than 50 years. In the 1950s, Duke Brothers became affiliated with True Value

s I sit here this morning with little bits of bird formula in my hair, on my clothes and speckling my glasses, I wonder ... why? Why have I taken on this Herculean task of hand feeding five baby conures? Letting their parents take responsibility for them and letting them be at their beck and call every few hours seems more sensible. Why have I subjected myself to their frantic chirping and their wing flapping and their chaotic squawking? With my poor eyesight (I need bifocals, but am unwilling to admit to it yet), I need to place my face near to my feathered tornadoes while I try to get the gooey, sticky mixture of vitamins and minerals into their crops. This needs to be done in a timely manner so it doesn’t get too cold, so I am hasty and they are flailing, which results in the gooey sticky mixture being flung everywhere as they jockey for position on top of their siblings. The result of all of this is a huge mess. If I don’t get the goo off of them soon after feeding, since only about half of it actually enters their beaks, they become crunchy. Birds aren’t meant to be crunchy and these little guys haven’t quite mastered preening yet, so if they were Charlie Brown characters, they would all be Pigpen. We have spoken of the feeding portion of this endeavor, but there is another messy aspect to this whole process. Poop. Since what is entering their body is liquid, it retains its liq-

In 1957, hearing that Walter Duke was going to retire, International Harvester sent representatives to Henry to seek new owners. Early in 1957, company representatives met with Walter Duke, and Francis and Edgar Read to take over the operation. Francis and Edgar were forming partners in the Henry-Putnam area. “On March 11, 1957, the Read Brothers purchased the Duke Brothers’ International dealership. Francis entered the store in 1957 as manager and Edgar continued farming. For years, all farm equipment set-up and tractor repair work was done inside the store. “The large wooden freight elevator in the rear of the building at one time carried buggies and supplies, corn pickers, wagons, planters and other

farm equipment that were sent up to the third floor. Over time, the equipment got larger. “In 1966, Read Brothers constructed a new service area across the north alley from the main store. In 1974, a second Read generation joined the staff at Read Brothers. Bob Read, son of Francis, assumed the role of general manager. In 1980, Francis left the daily operations. Brother Jerry left the family farm operation and entered the business.” After building a new facility out on Western Avenue in Henry in 2011, they sold out to Birkeys. Read Bros. maintains the True Value Hardware Store on Edwards Street. Read Bros. was and is, “The only store of its kind.”

Life is messy COMMENTARY Name Here uid state as it exits too. With five little poop machines in one cozy container so they keep their less-than-fullyfeathered bodies warm, I find myself washing their towels and containers constantly. I have to wipe their little beaks, like a mom wipes her child’s mouth. I have even bathed them twice when they got too crunchy. I work full time, and this latest adventure into aviculture is very time consuming. Again, why would I do this? I keep getting asked this question as people mumble “crazy bird lady” under their breath. For the record, I’ve been crazy for years, it’s just the birds are new. I’ll tell you why I do this. I am raising these birds to be pets. I want them to know human contact and be affectionate. I want them to think of people as a good thing and not something to be bitten, squawked at or attacked. As I feed them, I talk to them soothingly and try to make them comfortable. When I sell them, I want to be able to assure their new owner that they are in fact tame and will be a beneficial part of the family. If I let their avian mom and dad do all of the work, they will teach them survival skills, which includes biting things that threaten you, or that you per-

ceive as a threat. We don’t want that. Isn’t life like that sometimes? Life is messy. Sometimes we put ourselves into messy situations and only we know why. People look at our lives and our mess and say why? We can try to explain it (like I try to explain my recent leap into the avian culture) and not everyone will understand. Some will judge your mess. But you’ll find people who will tolerate your mess, and you will find people who help you clean up your mess. Sometimes it’s fun to have someone join you in your mess. Those people understand. They understand that going to Walmart smelling like Higgins High Energy Hand Feeding Formula is nothing to be ashamed of. They understand the rewards of the temporary mess, and know that the results will be worth every bit of crunchy stuff in your hair, sleepless night and load of laundry. As I travel through life, I see what a mess I can be. Some of those messes were by my own choice and some messes were dumped over my head like the slime game on the Nickelodeon channel. At the end of this game called life, I’m going to smile, look back, see all I’ve accomplished and say, “Could you please hand me a moist towelette?”

Sons of the Never Wrong return to Princeton Coffeehouse

PRINCETON — Sons of the Never Wrong, the popular folk trio from Chicago, will return to the Princeton Coffeehouse for a performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28. The Sons last appeared at the coffeehouse in 2012. Sons of the Never Wrong are celebrating the 25th year of their founding, while the coffeehouse celebrates its 25th season. The Princeton show will also help celebrate the release of the band’s newest CD, “Song of Sons.” Described as a “dynamic, original harmony vocal trio,” by WGBH Boston, the group has a decidedly eclectic style that combines influences of folk, jazz, pop and rock. All three Sons play, sing and write for the band. Bruce Roper is the primary song-

writer and plays acoustic guitar. Sue Demel is known for her inspired harmonies and exuberant moving about on stage as she beats on her djembe drums or quietly strums the dulcimer or guitar. Multi-instrumentalist Deborah Lader brings to the band her own style of writing, voice and humor along with her flair for banjo, mandolin, guitar, and rich alto harmonies. Sons of the Never Wrong concerts tend to be joyful affairs. “Although they write some serious songs and give some serious performances, they never take themselves too seriously,” according to Sing Out magazine. “They take chances, inventing their own genre as they go.” The trio has “revolutionized the world of folk”

(UniverCity Magazine). The Princeton Coffeehouse is located at the Open Prairie UCC Church, 25 E. Marion St. in downtown Princeton. Admission is $15 at the door. The venue is completely accessible and there is ample free parking nearby. Doors open at 7 p.m. Fair trade coffee, tea and homemade desserts are available. Larry and Deb Lawson and Bob and Peggy Etheridge are the sponsors of the Sons of the Never Wrong show. For further information on the Princeton Coffeehouse, which offers traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music, monthly August Photo contributed through May, visit www. theprincetoncoffeehouse. The Sons of the Never Wrong, Sue Demel, Deborah Lader and Bruce Roper, will perform at 7:30 p.m. com or call 815-878-4805. Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Princeton Coffeehouse.

Princeton’s Prairie Arts Council revives ‘Christmas Fairy Queen’ PRINCETON — Dates have been set and tickets may now be purchased for the Prairie Arts Council (PAC) 2017 Christmas musical, “The One, the Only, Christmas Fairy Queen.” Christmas shows for the past several dozen years have been written specifically for PAC’s young actors by Rachel

Gorenz-Johnson, PAC’s summer drama camp director. This year‘s production is a revival of her 2010 show, “The One, the Only, Christmas Fairy Queen.” The musical is being directed by David and Rachel Gorenz, with choreography by Reid Tomaason and Emma Roden; Eyan Tiemann is serving as accompanist.

“The One, the Only, Christmas Fairy Queen” tells the story of Sam, the first female descendent of the Christmas Fairy, now living the life of a moody teenager, unaware of her true magical heritage and power. Generations ago, Neva, the evil twin of the Christmas Fairy Queen, tried unsuccessfully to destroy

the true spirit of Christmas by “eliminating” her good sister. In a renewed attempt to destroy Christmas, Neva has Sam kidnapped by her henchmen, a pair of 1920s “gangster wanna-bes,” intending to destroy Sam and achieve complete control. Will an eccentric collection of fairies, animals, and Christmas orna-

ments arrive in time to rescue Sam and save the Christmas spirit? Will Sam make the mystifying and courageous choice to accept her true magical destiny? Will Dong EVER stop interrupting Ding? Only time will tell. The production will again

IVCC theatre department will present annual Halloween thrill show

Continued from Page 11

OGLESBY — “Terror in the Aisles!,” the Illinois Valley Community College theatre department’s annual Halloween thrill show, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28, in the Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg Cultural Centre for one terrifying night only. A yearly tradition, “Terror in the Aisles!” is a combination of student and community actors and the IVCC Show Choir. “What began as a storytelling workshop has, over the years, evolved into a show that’s a little hard to explain,” said director and choreographer Don Grant Zellmer. “It’s a unique combination of unsettling stories, performance pieces and dance. “The Show Choir appears a handful of times performing some truly macabre numbers in an unexpected way, but the evening is really about ghost stories, urban legends and things that go ‘bump’ in the night,” Zellmer said. Stories and performance pieces are original to the show and vary each year. While some are created

by cast members, most are written by theatre instructor and published playwright, Dr. David A. Kuester, and professional storyteller Tricia Kelly. Both also direct the actors and workshop their stories. Kuester said, “This year we are relying heavily on the theme of classic horror such as Dracula, werewolves and ghosts but we switch up the telling of these well-known tales to add backstories. “Dracula’s Three Brides, for instance, bring the legend to life through their eyes and The Legend of the Werewolf, while very present and lurking somewhere in the darkened theatre, is told by a superstitious Gypsy woman. “We’d love for people to come and see the spooky results of pointing creative minds in the direction of terror,” said Kuester. Admission is $5 and tickets are available at the door beginning one hour prior to show time. The show is not recommended for extremely young children or those who are highly impressionable.

showcase familiar and not-so-familiar Christmas music, including the classic “Carol of the Bells” and the hilarious “Christmas Can-Can.” The talents of young actors will be showcased with such challenging roles as a French CanCan dancer, a Granny Clampett-inspired Southern Belle, a narcoleptic elf, a pair of secret agents (Agents Tannen and Baum), and several others from the wacky, weird and wonderful world of Christmas spirit and the equally wacky, weird, and wonderful writings of Rachel Gorenz-Johnson. The 2010 cast featured Maggie Daluga as Neva, Sabrina Bickett as Mugsy, Drew Pranka and Doran Cotter as Fingers, Anjali Patel and Emily Boes as Lulu, Taylor Tieman as Sam, Cameron Tieman as Elvin the Elf, Courtney Pointer as Glory the Fairy, Vicki Tieman as Carol the Fairy, Preston Milliron as Snowden the Penguin, Fern Webber as Jangle the Elf, Ryan Friel as Yule the Reindeer, Grace Wolbrecht and Dylann Hall as Agent Tannen, Kimmy Glenn as Agent Baum, Emma Roden as Evangeline, Brianna Legner as Belle, Fox Webber as Sir Casper, Megan

CPASA began in 2007 as a product of the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs (IPLAN) substance abuse workgroup formed by the then Bureau Putnam County Health Department. Seven members began the coalition. Today, there are 143 active members attending monthly and team meetings and/or assisting at events and programs. Diana Rawlings, administrator at the health department, explained that “While it is impossible to demonstrate conclusive cause/effect CPASA’s efforts have generally been credited with reducing use substance youth, especially alcohol, with reducing the number of local heroin related deaths and with reducing the amount of prescription and over the counter drugs available for abuse.” “CPASA is a labor of

BPMCHD received the award for forming and supporting Community Partners Against Substance Abuse (CPASA). CPASA was one of 41 local health department programs to receive NACCHO’s prestigious Model Practice Award. Since 2003, NACCHO’s Model Practice Awards have honored programs, resources and tools that demonstrate how local health departments and their community partners can effectively collaborate to address local public health challenges. Each innovative project receiving the Model Practice Award was peer-reviewed and selected from a competitive group of over 100 applicants. “This award puts

Snowflake artist will be in Princeton on Nov. 4 PRINCETON — If you ever enjoyed making cut paper snowflakes, you will be amazed and delighted by the artistry of Keith Bonnstetter, a teacher in Bettendorf, Iowa, who will be leading a free workshop on Saturday, Nov. 4, at Princeton’s Prairie Arts Center. There will be a 1 p.m. workshop for children ages 8 to 12, followed by a 3 p.m. program for adults. The two-hour sessions are free to participants, thanks to generous sponsorship by Omni Arts. Bonnstetter’s artistry was inspired by his family’s struggle with childhood illness. His daughter was born with impaired motor skills. In spite of a discouraging prognosis from a major medical center, Bonnstetter and his wife never lost faith. They eventually connected with a chiropractor whose treatment resulted in almost immediate improvement. Overjoyed by their daughter’s recovery, the Bonnstetters were still saddled with significant medical bills. “If God healed her, surely He could help with our bills. We put our trust in Him,” said Bonnstetter. That’s when Keith began making his cut paper designs. Fellow teachers asked if his designs were for sale, and what began as a stress-relieving outlet soon turned into a thriving side business. Before long, the medical bills were paid off. Since then, he has appeared as a guest on the Martha Stewart show. Seeing the hand of God in his family’s story, he often donates items to raise money for charities. The cut-paper workshop in Princeton is the first
