River Valley Players to open season with ‘Freaky Friday’ Show will feature 32 actors from across central Illinois

By JAYCE EUSTICE

jeustice@shawmedia.com River Valley Players in Henry is set to open its 45th season with multi-generational performances of Disney’s ‘Freaky Friday’ on April 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10.

The show will feature 32 cast members from all over central Illinois.

The show’s performers come from Princeton, Granville, La Salle, Henry, Putnam, Peoria, Chillicothe, Lacon and more.

Tickets are available for showonly performances on Friday, April 1 and 8 as a variety of homemade desserts and snacks will be available for purchase. The April 2, 3, 9 and 10 performances will offer a dinner with a salad bar, buffet meal, three beverages of choice, coffee and dessert catered by the Meeting Place in Henry.

In her directorial debut, RVP veteran Deanne Crook, is excited to show the public what the cast has been working hard on.

“The main plot is a mother and a daughter that don’t see eye to eye and they end up switching bodies,” Crook said. “They have to spend a day in the life of the other one and it also happens to be the weekend that the mother is getting remarried.”

Working alongside Crook, Music Director Kevin Alleman has also previously appeared on the RVP stage and has directed and music directed at Stage 212 in La Salle.

Crook said that this show can offer an important life lesson to spectators of all ages, as many relevant topics and experiences are explored.

“It’s a great walk in someone else’s shoes, loving yourself for who you are and family-loving type of show,” Crook said. “I just think it’s something that people of any age can watch and enjoy.”

The cast of the production varies not just in hometown, but in age from 12 years to more experienced cast members in middle age.

While working with a wide age range of cast members can sometimes be difficult, Crook said that the younger cast are very mature for their age and the adults truly enjoy working on productions like they are big kids themselves.

“I’ve choreographed in the past, but this is my first time directing,” Crook said. “Being a High School Teacher and a Dance Teacher, I kind of wanted something where I could work with a younger cast because that’s who I’m used to working with.”

Trisha Bagby, who will be playing one of the lead roles in ‘Freaky Friday,’ said that the group knows how close they are to opening and they can’t wait to welcome in members of the public.

“It’s incredibly exciting,” Bagby

said. “It’s a little stressful but mostly exciting. I am really ready for an audience to experience the show. It’s a really great show.”

Bagby will be making her RVP stage debut, but is no stranger to performing in front of large audiences.

She said that she has essentially performed in at least one show a year since she was in high school.

“I’m excited for the energy that everyone’s going to bring,” Bagby said. “River Valley Players is clearly a really well established theater and people all around are really excited about it. I really like learning about RVP as I’m talking to people on the outside. I get more excited about it the more I learn the history of the group.”

For River Valley Players, this performance will mark the first time a large cast has been able to perform since the beginning of the pandemic, something the group is excited to get started.

“With COVID, we shut down for a while,” Crook said. “We were able to have a show in the fall, but that was the first show since COVID. This kind of feels like the first show since things are back to normal a little more.”

All performances of the upcoming production will be held at St. John’s XXIII located at 1301 Second St. in Henry. Tickets are available by calling the box office at 309-238-7878 or by visiting the group’s website at www. rvphenry.org.

13 shave heads for St. Baldrick’s in La Salle County Annual haircut event raises money to promote pediatric cancer research

I’ve always been proud to do it, and it’s something I’ve felt strongly about for many years.”

By TOM COLLINS

tcollins@shawmedia.com It was either the cheapest or the most expensive haircut Mike Porter ever received, depending on perspective.

With a few dozen people looking on, Porter sat on a raised platform Sunday at Senica’s Oak Ridge Golf Club, just outside La Salle, and bade goodbye to his hair. All of it. It didn’t cost him anything, but sponsors forked more than $1,200 to see Porter report to work at Eureka Savings Bank with a clean pate.

Sunday marked 11 years Porter parted his hair – er, parted with his hair – on St. Baldrick’s Day to promote pediatric cancer research. A dozen others joined him at an event scheduled with the fingers-crossed goal of reaching $20,000.

“I’ve always been proud to do it,” the Oglesby resident said, “and it’s something I’ve felt strongly about for many years.”

But the event has taken on special meaning since 2019, when family friend and Oglesby firefighter Evan Knoblauch died of cancer. He was 20 years old. Porter has since doubled down on his efforts to eliminate pediatric cancer once and for all.

A dozen other volunteers stepped up for haircuts this year, which was a welcome number after last year’s event was held amid infection controls. Utica Fire Protection District has hosted St. Baldrick’s Day for 15 years straight and last year’s “hybrid” event raised more than $13,000 – a figure Fire Chief Ben Brown thought would be exceeded by the end of Sunday’s fundraiser.

“We have more people here than I

The hair may be collectively thinning, but there is a steadily growing group of volunteers who get their heads shaved annually and who’ve strung together an impressive number of consecutive years shaved.

At the front of the line was Karen Martin of Streator, who led Sunday’s hairless by going 16 straight years getting shaved for charity. Martin said she was inspired by her mother, who lost her hair during chemo treatments, and which inspired Martin to shave herself bald as an act of solidarity – eventually.

“I chickened out,” Martin admitted, “but a couple of years later this came along and I did it.”

Ralph Moshage, of rural Utica, is a Boy Scout leader whose troop has

and nobody joined it, so I joined it to be with him,” Moshage said. “That was my first year doing it.

“And after I was done, I realized I liked shorter hair and I’ve kept it shorter ever since.”

Don’t bother looking up St. Baldrick in Butler’s “Lives of the Saints” because you won’t find him. The name is merely a play on words that evolved from a St. Patrick’s Day head-shaving challenge to raise funds for pediatric cancers. Three New Yorker conceived the event and, at the 2000 inaugural event, raised $104,000.

The idea caught on from coast to coast and today the St. Baldrick’s Foundation (st.baldricks.org) reports $314 million in cancer research grants since 2005.

Second-year veterinary students with a focus on Illinois food animal science are eligible to apply for the Illinois Veterinary Education and Training loan program.

Applications open for veterinary student loans through Illinois Farm Bureau SHAW MEDIA STAFF REPORT The Illinois Farm Bureau is accepting applications for its Illinois Veterinary Education and Training loan program. Loans are available to second-year veterinary students attending an accredited college of veterinary medicine in the U.S. and who are focusing on Illinois food animal medicine.

The IVET Program helps offset the high cost of veterinary education, according to a news release from the Illinois Farm Bureau. The program loans up to $40,000 to as many as three veterinary students each year.

Loans are made over a period of two to three years.

IVET award recipients are given a $1,500 stipend during their fourth year in school to help pay expenses associated with clinical rotations.

Loans are repaid over five years, during which graduates must commit to working in a food animal practice that services Illinois livestock producers.

“Illinois Farm Bureau encourages veterinary students to pursue a career in caring for food animals,” Tasha Bunting, IFB associate director of commodity and livestock programs, said in a news release. “To succeed, farmers need the services of a food-animal veterinarian to help them care for their beef cattle, swine, sheep and poultry. It’s an incredibly rewarding career field that has seen an increase in demand in recent years.”

Applications are due Sunday, May 15, and can be found online at www. ilfb.org/IVET. The selection committee will interview eligible applicants in spring 2022. Successful applicants will be notified by mail. Loan disbursements begin in August.

Since the Illinois Farm Bureau established the IVET program in 2005, the organization has awarded more than $550,000 to 27 veterinary students who focus on caring for food animals in Illinois. For more information about the program, contact Tasha Bunting at 309-557-2993 or tbunting@ilfb.org.

By DEREK BARICHELLO

dbarichello@shawmedia.com State Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa) is sponsoring a house bill focused on helping health care in rural communities.

To address the shortage of obstetrical services in rural communities, Yednock proposed House Bill 4303 that says if an obstetrical physician works at a privately owned rural health clinic in Illinois, they also can qualify for assistance under the state’s Loan Repayment Assistance for Physicians Act. The bill, if passed, would go into effect immediately.

Yednock said the previous act only allowed for obstetrical physicians to qualify for assistance if they were going to work at a 501(c)3 facility.

“This acknowledges the expansion of private facilities in rural communities,” Yednock said.

State Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa Between 2011 and 2021, 198 rural hospitals ceased to provide obstetrics, reported Tammie Sloup of the Illinois Farm Bureau in a recent article in FarmWeek.

“I’m afraid to say that it’s really the story behind the story of the hospital closure crisis. It’s the story behind the story of the pandemic, which is that we’re seeing the loss of

these services in rural areas, creating virtual deserts of care for very important services,” said Michael Topchik, the national leader of The Chartis Center for Rural Health, during the National Rural Health Association’s Policy Institute on Feb. 8.

Almost half of rural hospitals are operating with a negative margin (excluding relief funds), with two rural hospitals closing in 2021, he said. The $12.6 billion in pandemic relief payments has helped, but only temporarily.

Yednock said graduating physicians are enticed to join Northwestern or Loyola hospitals in the Chicago area and incentives are needed to attract doctors to rural communities.

Metal toxin prevalent in U.S. raptors 46% of bald eagles sampled in 38 states had harmful levels of lead in bones

By MICHAEL URBANEC

murbanec@shawmedia.com A study conducted by various researchers as published in the journal Science found that 46% of 1,210 bald eagles sampled in 38 states across the country have harmful levels of toxic lead in their bones.

While the Starved Rock region hasn’t had reports of its eagle population showing signs of lead poisoning, the Illinois Raptor Center said that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

“When an eagle comes in and doesn’t have lead in it, it’s a bit of a shock to us,” said Jacques Nuzzo, Program Director for the Illinois Raptor Center. “Lead is prevalent within scavenger species like the bald eagle, which does a lot of scavenging.”

Lead functions as a neurotoxin that can impair an eagle’s balance and stamina, reducing its ability to fly, hunt and reproduce. In high doses, lead can cause seizures, breathing difficulty and death. Nuzzo has seen these symptoms firsthand, and called them upsetting.

“We had two eagles come in recently that both died in the same week,” Nuzzo said. “The last one, man, it was seizing bad and I just get mad.”

The easiest thing to blame, Nuzzo said, is ammunition. The common practice for deer hunting is to strip a deer of its pelt and meat and leave the guts for scavengers. Nuzzo said X-rays show these gut piles often contain lead.

“The idea is that you have lead frag-

A bald eagle nests in a tree at the park in Troy Grove. A study published in the journal Science found that 46% of 1,210 bald eagles sampled in 38 states across the country have harmful levels of toxic lead in their bones. ments in ammunition,” Nuzzo said.

“You shoot with a slug, which is a massive chunk of lead, a massive bullet. It’s designed to mushroom out and become a larger projectile and when that hits the deer, it can get lodged in the bone or elsewhere.”

Sgt. Phil Wire, with the Illinois Conservation Police, said hunting near the Illinois River at Matthiessen and Starved Rock State Parks is limited to doves and requires lead-free ammo.

Ammunition isn’t the only source of

lead raptors have to deal with. Nuzzo said songbirds they’ve tested also have high levels of lead, although it doesn’t affect them as greatly because they’re urbanized. Sparrows, starlings and pigeons are used to the waste that comes from being near cities.

However, raptors such as the Cooper’s Hawk and the Eastern Screech Owl feed on these small birds.

Nuzzo said that’s just one hypothesis for where these elevated lead levels come from. Eagles aren’t urbanized and

they don’t typically live in areas with old homes and lead paint.

“It all goes back to the 1970s,” Nuzzo said. “We had this huge push to stop the use of lead in gasoline and paint, which did happen. Then there was a push to clean it all up and a lot of promises made.

Then nothing happened.”

Nuzzo points to Flint, Michigan, as a major story regarding lead in regards to its water, but he said Flint isn’t the only place still dealing with the effects of it.

Cities everywhere still have old, rundown homes that contain lead paint, and old gas stations may leave contaminated soil behind when they close down.

As to what can be done right now, Nuzzo said it comes down to personal choice. The average person won’t be able to push change at the societal level, but enough people making the right personal choices will force businesses selling ammunition or fishing supplies to start producing cheaper, safer alternatives.

“The reason lead is so prevalent is that lead is a very, very cheap material that’s cheap to produce and cheap to buy,” Nuzzo said. “When you start looking at things like ceramic ammunition, that gets expensive and I already spend enough money on my outdoor gear.”

Despite that, Nuzzo said he’s gone completely lead-free for his own personal hunting and fishing for the first time this year. He believes going leadfree is not just best for the raptors, but it’s what’s best for everyone.

Restaurant reviews

Simply delicious sandwiches describes John’s Place Anytime you want a simple midday meal that’s both hot and tasty, look no farther than John’s Place in Peru.

The restaurant is spot-on with its slogan “Nothing 2 Fancy, Just A Good Sandwich” emblazoned on the back wall. Open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., John’s Place, which has a vibrant, 1950s-diner-like atmosphere, is divided into a small dining room and a counter area with stools. The drinks and soups came in plastic-foam cups with lids, and the sandwiches and fries in waxed paper-lined baskets.

There is a rather large menu of both regular and specialty burgers, sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads, as well as ice cream specialties sure to please not just any appetite, but any pocketbook.

My dining companions and I met on a weekday just before noon at the peak of the lunch rush. We seated ourselves at a table, and our server took our drink orders, returning a short time later with the beverages in to-go cups, with one empty one on the side.

It was for the contents of a tall metal shaker nearly overflowing with a very tasty-looking strawberry milkshake ($3.95).

I ordered a cup of lasagna soup, topped with soon-melted mozzarella, and The Cuban ($4.25), a burger with the appropriate cheese, ham, pickles, mustard and garlic mayo on a grilled bun. It came with ample mayo, making it a messy but delicious feast, and a perfect complement to the tangy, cheesy soup.

One of my companions ordered the sloppy Joe ($3.35), which was listed with other sandwiches like ham or tuna salad, a BLT and even peanut butter and jelly. For a side, they ordered the ravs and broth soup, served piping hot.

The next person chose The Chipotle ($3.75), a cheeseburger with pepper Jack, grilled onions, jalapeños and chipotle mayo. Don’t let the list of spicy ingredients deter you – the sandwich had a mild amount of heat. She also added a cup of cheeseburger soup, which was a highlight. Every spoonful of the thick, cheesy, cream-based soup abounded with ground beef and noodle.

The person with the milkshake ordered The Cowgirl ($3.75), a cheeseburger with pepper Jack, bacon, grilled onions and barbecue sauce.

Also on the menu are wraps served hot or cold with a choice of meat – chicken, ham or turkey – and any mix

of condiments, including cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing. There are also greens: a side salad with cheese and tomatoes; a chef’s salad with those and either chicken, ham or turkey; and a taco salad, with seasoned ground beef, chips and taco dressing.

And the ice cream dessert menu is large, including sundaes, shakes, malts, cones and ice cream sodas.

For the four of us, each having a drink, soup and sandwich, the bill came to a very reasonable $37.60. Easy to see why John’s Place draws a crowd each and every day.

SPORTS BASEBALL: PUTNAM COUNTY 3, SOMONAUK 0

Smith fires no-hitter against Somonauk

By BRIAN HOXSEY

bhoxsey@shawmedia.com SOMONAUK – Putnam County starting pitcher Drake Smith said he’ll be hunting geese the next few days in South Dakota.

If the senior’s shot is as good as his pitches during the Tuesday, March 22’s game against Somonauk, the hunting trip will be another success.

Smith fired a no-hitter against the Bobcats while recording 15 strikeouts with only one walk in the Panthers’ 3-0 victory.

“This was a perfect day to pitch with it being cold and gloomy,” Smith said. “I love pitching in conditions like this, because I know how much I hate it as a hitter.

“I’m going to be going on vacation for a couple days after today, so when Coach said I was starting, I knew I needed to make it count. I felt like I was in the groove right from the very first batter, to be honest. I really lived off the outside corner. I’d say that’s where I threw 90% of my pitches. I mainly went fastball, with a few curves and knuckleballs mixed in.”

Putnam County (3-2) grabbed the lead for good in the first inning, as leadoff man Andrew Pyszka worked a walk against Somonauk senior

Scott Anderson

Putnam County’s Drake Smith (3) delivers a pitch to Somonauk on Tuesday, March 22. starter Brendan Roberts, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a two-out single by Smith. Pyszka finished the contest reaching base in all four of his plate appearances, including the only other PC hit, an infield single in the seventh, and stole four bases.

“Getting that first run right away was huge, and Andrew got it started with Drake coming through in the

clutch,” PC coach Chris Newsome said. “Andrew is an all-stater, and he’s going to get the best from every pitcher he faces this season. He’s not going to get many fastballs right down the middle, so we’ve talked about how he needs to stay patient and take what he’s given. I know it’s frustrating for him to not see a lot of hittable pitches, but if he can get on base for us like he did today, espe-

cially with his speed, a lot of good things happen.

“The strike zone was a little wide today, but it was consistent for both sides, and in the conditions like we had, I’m OK with that. We always, from a pitcher’s perspective, want to take advantage of what the umpire is giving you, and today the outside half of the plate was just a little bit wider. It was definitely a tough day to hit in general, but with [Roberts] and Drake on the mound, it made things extra tough.

“Drake has a really good 1-2-3 combo that, when he’s throwing them all for strikes, and he usually is, we feel good about our chances to come out on top. It was a great effort by him.”

PC added two unearned runs in the sixth, as two of the three batters that reached base on errors came around to score.

Roberts almost matched Smith pitch-for-pitch, allowing one hit, two walks and striking out 14 in six innings, with Jayden Dion pitching a scoreless seventh.

• Note: The March 25 Putnam County at St. Bede varsity baseball game was canceled and rescheduled for April 23 at 2 p.m.

Brooker signs to wrestle for the University of Dubuque

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS

khieronymus@bcrnews.com The University of Dubuque has always seemed like home to Connor Brooker.

He’s attended team camps there because it is where his coach at Putnam County, Jerry Kriewald, wrestled.

Brooker is now going to make it his home. The Putnam County senior and member of the PC-Hall co-op has signed to wrestle for the Spartans, joining members from the club he trains with, NWO, in Sheridan.

“I chose the University of Dubuque because I really like the coaching staff, culture, and a couple of my teammates from NWO committed there recently as well,” Brooker said.

“Also, coach Kriewald was an alum there, so I can remember going to

team camps there when I was younger and just always really liking it there.”

Brooker finished with a 20-2 record, losing only to an eventual state champion and third-place finisher. A knee injury kept the PC senior from making a bid to return to state. He was an All-BCR First Team and the Three Rivers Second-Team All-Conference selection.

Kriewald wrestled at Dubuque from 1992-96 and is close friend of head coach Jon McGovern. He said he first told McGovern about Brooker and “has been talking to him since.”

The Spartans were top 15 in the nation last year with over 50 wrestlers on the roster, Kriewald said, but he looks for Brooker to crack their lineup at 165 pounds next year.

Brooker plans on studying business administration.

Putnam County High School track preview capsules PC BOYS Coach: Chuck McConnell Key returnees: Joey Twardowski, Sr. (distance/jumps/relays), Wyatt Grimshaw, Jr. (distance/mid-distance/ relays) Worth noting: Twardowski will run the 3,200 meters and compete in the high jump, while Grimshaw will run

the 800 and 1,600. Both will run on the 4x800 relay. “I believe Wyatt Grimshaw and Joey Twardowski will continue to drop times in their respective events and achieve new PRs,” McConnell said. Along with Twardowski and Grimshaw, the Panthers have a larger roster this season. “We have increased our numbers on the team. Thus, we

should be able to enter all the field events and running events,” McConnell said. “I believe we will be competitive in our meets. Our goal is to be competitive and have a great showing in the Tri-County Conference Meet later in the season. We have a good mixture of freshmen through seniors on the team.

This will also help the older members

to help the younger members who have just joined the team.”

PC GIRLS Coach: Brianna Downey Worth noting: The Panthers have four athletes this spring – Chloe Andersen, Emma Nicoli, Molly Roach and Piper Kammer.
