White pelicans in Illinois…seriously? Story and Photos by Deanna Frautschi
U
sually during the peak of April migration, I’m looking for small songbirds like indigo buntings, scarlet tanagers and orioles that may be coming through our McLean County area. But I was surprised when I learned from a Lake Bloomington resident that they see American white pelicans coming through almost every year. Seriously? I had to check this out for myself. Sure enough, there they were fishing at Lake Bloomington. Fascinated, I took lots of photos and then researched their migration habits. Interestingly, I discovered that only white pelicans migrate north (not brown pelicans). Many will go as far as Minnesota and Canada for the summer and then begin to fly south around October. Some are even nesting in northern Illinois. Often, flocks can be seen as early as March, especially along flyways like the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. But over the last 10 years, some choose to stop over at inland lakes as they make their journey north. It’s hard to believe these large birds weighing in at 30 pounds with a 9-foot wingspan can look so graceful when they land on the water. If you have never seen white pelicans up close, Great blue heron and American white pelican sharing a roosting spot
try watching for them along the Illinois River. The Peoria area often has a flock or two stopping during late March to mid-April. Be sure to bring your binoculars and camera. You may catch them fishing with their long bills and pouches in the water, then tilting their heads back to swallow the fish. White pelicans in Illinois are a sight to behold in the water and in the air.

Bill Flick Your April 2016 BNI (Bloomington-Normal Index): Number 8: After Seattle; San Francisco; Boston; the Washington, D.C., metro area; Raleigh, N.C.; Boulder, Colo.; and Huntsville, Ala., Computerworld magazine recently Bill Flick ranked BloomingtonColumnist Normal among America’s “techiest” of cities. 11.5% of all B-N marriages: That’s how many end in divorce in BloomingtonNormal these days, according to a marriage and divorce study of America’s 500 biggest cities by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health. Verna Crusius Huffman: Of the literal thousands of Bloomingtonbased State Farm employees since the company’s founding, she was the very first. Beginning work with founder G.J. Mecherle in July 1922, Verna was his secretary and Girl Friday and shared a one-room office with him. Verna died in 1976.
39 McDonalds restaurants: That’s how many the Dobski brothers own (from left, Tom, the youngest, of Lawrence, Kan., with 14 stores; Bob, of Bloomington, who has 10 in the B-N area; and Tony, the oldest, of Laredo, Texas, who has 15 McDonalds).
University of Illinois: Instead of what became Franklin Park in Bloomington, if a proposal facing the Illinois State Legislature back in the 1860s had not failed, that’s where the U of I would be located today. A change of seasons … gnosh, gnosh: There are occasional snowstorms in April – many times dumping lots of snow because of more humidity in the air – but because the snow doesn’t hang around
long, grocers say we no longer deplete their shelves of the proverbial eggs, milk and bread but instead buy more snack foods, like Doritos, Cheetos, cookies and ice cream cake, apparently just to enjoy the day(s) inside. Love him or leave him, Obama is one quick dude: Besides being U.S. president, Barack Obama is quick and can catch horseflies with a bare left hand. In fact, back when campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat in July 2004, he did just that on a stop in Olney, to the awe of those in attendance at that city’s fairgrounds. That’s a photo here of the 12-yearsyounger Obama, a snapshot of the future president taken by Mary Jordan of Bloomington moments before his spontaneous fly-catching demonstration, as he stood in line, no Secret Service, no entourage, to use the restroom at the Community Building at the Olney City Park.

Co-chair Cat Woods with armfuls of wonderful bags
Co-chair Julie Dobski shows off some of the many purses that will be available for auction at Power of the Purse
By Jonell Kehias, Photos by Erin Woods
H
ow do you get 500 attendees to a first-time event and fundraiser? Just combine two dynamic cochairs, a committee of 15 incredibly hard-working women of all ages and backgrounds, plus a very worthy project. And there you have Power of the Purse, a fundraiser hosted by United Way of McLean County to raise money for construction of a home by the Women Build crew. Habitat builds homes for the working poor, who must demonstrate need and an ability to repay a no-interest mortgage. They also must put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity. Among Habitat volunteer construction crews is a Women Build group, which, as it name suggests, is comprised solely of women volunteers. The idea was the brainchild of United Way of McLean County Resource Development Director Pat Grosso, who attended a Power of the Purse fundraiser last year in Peoria. Grosso went with Cat Woods, one of this year’s co-chairs. “It was great fun,” exclaims Pat. “It was a sold-out event and all the bidding was done electronically, on smart phones or tablets. A new twist on the traditional silent auction.” Cat is co-chairing the event with Julie Dobski. Both women have strong United Way ties and are past or present board members. The acquisition committee is charged with gathering the purses, with a goal of 120.

April 2016 — Limited
So far the committee has approximately 75 purses from designers including Coach, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Dooney and Bourke and Michael Kors. Most of the purses are brand new, still sporting the price tags that range from approximately $75 to hundreds. The piece de resistance is a classic Chanel bag valued at $4,600 that was donated by Mary Strack. The bag will be raffled during the evening and guests may purchase a chance to win for $20. “This event is more than raising money,” explains Woods. “It’s about the power of women when we all get together and collaborate for a cause.” “It’s about the power of hope,” adds Dobski. “This event will help fund the hope of hard-working families that they can share in the American dream of homeownership.”

COMPLICATIONS CAN RESULT FROM UNTREATED VARICOSE VEINS
I
gnoring varicose vein disease can lead to serious complications for patients. Over time venous reflux can result in increasing symptoms, such as leg aching, pain and swelling, because of the progressive valve failure inside the veins. Resulting skin changes, such as stasis dermatitis, can even lead to cellulitis. Eventually, the skin can break down and develop skin ulcers.
Stasis dermatitis is a common inflammatory condition that occurs on the lower extremities. It is caused by damage to the veins due to reduced blood flow. It can be a precursor to more problematic condition. Symptoms include a red, violet or brown rash on the skin between the ankle and the knee. The impaired blood flow results in leg swelling and triggers a release of
inflammatory factors that decreases the skin’s ability to heal, resulting in stasis dermatitis. Watching for the signs and symptoms of stasis dermatitis is important. Treatment can prevent the condition from becoming severe and leading to ulceration.
which is made worse by the poor blood flow in the feet and legs. The symptoms of cellulitis are swelling, redness, tenderness and warmth. Treatment with antibiotics is necessary. Stasis dermatitis can be a factor in cellulitis, especially when there is repeated leg swelling.
One of the most challenging venous complications is a skin ulcer. An ulcer is an open sore that can result from the smallest minor trauma to the skin. Combined with long-term chronic venous insufficiency, this can result in skin breakdown. The area around the ulcer is usually red, swollen, tender, and can be painful. Venous ulcers will most often occur on the inner aspect of ankle and can be very challenging to heal.
For patients with varicose veins, there is a clear benefit to addressing venous disease with endovenous laser ablation and sclerotherapy to prevent future complications. If you think you might have varicose veins, call The Vein Specialists at (309) 862-4000 to schedule a Consultation with one of our physicians or request an appointment online at www.ILveins.com. We have convenient locations in Bloomington, Eureka, Peru, Springfield and Str Streator.
Cellulitis is an infection of the superficial and deep layers of the skin, caused by bacteria. Bacteria are normally present on The surface of the skin. When the skin is injured, bacteria can spread beneath the surface and start to grow,

American Red Cross Evening of Stars co-chairs
Steve and Christel Denault Story by Jonell Kehias, Photos by Lori Ann Cook-Neisler
S
teve and Christel Denault have a fondness for the color red. They both attended Illinois State University, whose colors are red and white. And they are this year’s honorary co-chairs for the American Red Cross Evening of Stars gala, which will be April 21 at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, Normal. As one of the premier social events of the year and the largest major fundraiser for the local Red Cross chapter, Steve and Christel take their chairmanship duties very seriously. Steve is the executive vice president of Enterprise Business Corporate Services at Country Financial and Christel teaches English and French at Calvary Christian Academy, Normal.
“...to be asked to chair this wonderful event. We realize we get to do this just once in our lives, so we are enjoying every moment!” One of their first major duties was helping to choose a speaker who not only fit the Red Cross mission, but could bring in 1,000 attendees willing to pay $150 for the opportunity to spend the evening with a “star.” And they hit it out of the ballpark with their choice of Chesley ”Sully” Sullenberger as the headliner. With ticket sales already at 900 and climbing, it looks like this year’s event will be a sell-out and

hopefully surpass the $200,000 raised last year with singer Kellie Pickler. Steve and Christel were kind enough to share their thoughts on chairing this signature event. When were you asked to chair the Evening of Stars Gala? How did you feel about being asked? Christel: I felt honored and humbled and I am thrilled to be a part of this worthy cause. Steve: American Red Cross Chief Development Officer Lyn Hruska approached us last year. We were thrilled and honored to be asked to chair this wonderful event. We realize we get to do this just once in our lives, so we are enjoying every moment! I’m proud to say I’m the third leader from Country Financial to chair Evening of Stars. What is Country’s commitment to the American Red Cross? Steve: Country Financial supports Red Cross because the organization is critical to the overall health of our community – the people who work here and the people we serve. Support from Country Financial and the many other businesses and
individuals helps Red Cross continue to provide critical services to people who desperately need them. How many Evening of Stars galas have you attended in the past? Steve: Many! My first one was in 2001 when my
Christel and Steve Denault with son, Nathan and dog, Nike
“I can think of no greater honor than being a part of an event that highlights the dedicated and selfless work of this organization.” former boss, Deanna Frautschi, chaired. That year, they welcomed Captain Scott O’Grady, a pilot who was shot down over enemy lines. It’s amazing to see this come full circle as we welcome another heroic pilot to Central Illinois. Do you have a favorite speaker? Christel: I have loved all of the speakers, but have really enjoyed both Nik Wallenda and Kellie Pickler. Steve: It’s difficult to select from the many wonderful speakers we’ve invited to Central Illinois. I think my favorite speaker will be Sully. As a pilot, his story resonates with me greatly. As a human, his story should resonate with everyone. He is one of the few authentic remaining American heroes.
Photos of planes decorate the Denault home. What most appeals to you about the American Red Cross serving Central Illinois? Why have you agreed to make such a big time commitment to this charity? Christel: Our son was born three months prematurely, at week 29. Shortly after his birth, he required a full blood transfusion. We are thankful for the people who donated blood through the Red Cross. We are forever grateful. Steve: Red Cross appeals to me on a personal and professional level. At Country Financial, we see ourselves as financial first responders. We’re there shortly after disaster strikes to help our customers rebuild their lives, and we are often shoulder to shoulder with the amazing volunteers from the Red Cross who are servicing their immediate needs. Personally, I am very connected to Red Cross. Our son was a recipient of a blood transfusion when he was born very early, and I owe so much to the people who make sure this area has a safe and abundant blood supply. I can think of no greater honor than being a part of an event that highlights the dedicated and selfless work of this organization.
The Denault family: Deidre, Steve, Christel, Nathan and Alyssa at Steve’s parents’ farm in Herscher. How are you putting your personal touch on this year’s event? Christel: Our speaker, Captain Chesley Sullenberger, is a reflection of both our families’ strong ties to aviation. Steve’s interest in aviation was instilled by his parents. His annual childhood vacation was to the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in convention -- the largest air show in the world. As a result of this passion for airplanes, Steve earned his private pilot’s license. I have also been exposed to aviation since childhood. My stepfather had his private pilot’s license and owned a Cherokee 235. We flew for recreation and family trips. When my stepfather developed health issues, my mother earned her private pilot’s license so we could keep the family plane. Steve: I’m sure my background as a pilot led me to recommend Sully as our featured guest, but that’s not the only reason. Sully’s story resonates with us all because he stepped up and answered the call. The fact that he was a pilot is almost secondary to the fact that he was able to use his experience, judgment and courage to save lives. He’s also a longtime advocate for several community organizations, including the American Red Cross. He is a true hero not just because he saved his passengers’ lives, but because he uses his prominence to keep helping others – whether that’s speaking at local events to benefit Red Cross or advocating for safety on Capitol Hill. Any big changes for this year’s event? I don’t think you’ll see too many surprises. In many ways, we want to preserve the quality of an event which was created by so many talented and dedicated chairs before us. What do you like most about chairing this event? We love our role for two reasons. First, we enjoy the feeling that we’re helping a great organization and amazing volunteers. While they might not receive the same type of attention as a plane in the Hudson River, Red Cross volunteers answer the call every day, or even in the middle of the night. Secondly, it’s been rewarding to work with so many fantastic people in the community. We are meeting and reconnecting with people from all walks of life, who work for so many different
employers, and who have so many talents. It’s exciting to see us all coming together to unite around such a great gem in our community – the American Red Cross Serving Central Illinois.

Opening Day at Wrigley Field Of all the seasons, I like spring the best. Baseball is back. The Cubs go north conceived in the womb of Mesa, Arizona’s sun, born again on the corner of faith and hope. Pennants are raised on flag poles. They honor Ernie Banks, and Billy Williams, Ryne Sandberg, and Ron Santo. Vendors shout, “Peanuts, Beer!” Air is thick with smells of hot dogs and Nachos. Umpires and managers trade lineup cards. Cool breezes blow in off the lake. Eyes strain, “Is Rizzo or Biaz in the dugout?” At last the Cubs take the field. Fans rise, hands over hearts, the National Anthem is sung, followed by “God Bless America.” A fast ball explodes the catcher’s mitt, like a cannon; the starter is taking his eight warm-up throws. The catcher tosses down to second base; infielders zip the ball ‘round the horn, then to the pitcher, the lead-off batter digs in: the wind-up, the pitch, “Ste-e-e-rike One!” Baseball is back. Spring is back. So is love. As diehard fans we live and breathe knowing, “Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see.” by Michael Escoubas

This &That
She could have been Kramer!
How did Elaine Shung of Viva la Flora come by her name? As Elaine explains: “My Chinese first name was spelled as 'He' in the Chinese way, but pronunciation was like 'Her'. So I used 'Her' on my Chinese passport. I was a graduate assistant at ISU and this often confused the students. My advisor suggested that I choose an American first name to avoid the confusion. I loved the Seinfeld show so I picked 'Elaine' as my first name. When I became U.S. citizen in 2007, it became my legal name.”
Red Cross Ready A man of many talents
At the recent Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra concert at the BCPA, (which was a great, great time, btw) the band asked how many in the audience played a ukulele. And there, among the raised hands, was that of Roger Hunt. Who knew that this extremely respected and sought after medical administrator, symphony afficiando and sailor also played the ukulele? What can’t you do, Roger Hunt?
Good deed for a good cause
At the recent Blue Velvet fundraiser presented by Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, William Brady of Top Notch Event Planning turned the Holiday Inn into a magical room filled with stunning floral arrangements, crystal columns and blue and white everywhere. The event planners were thrilled with the decorations and ambiance, and even more thrilled when Brady refused his check and donated it to the cause.
When Red Cross Chief Development Officer Lyn Hruska got this text from Jim McEvers, she laughed, she cried, and then laughed some more. A little background: In 2013, when Lyn was promoted to her current position, Jim McEvers was named Interim Executive Director. All Red Cross employees are encouraged take first aid and CPR training, which turned out to be a good thing for Jim’s wife, Debbie. A little more background — Jim always refers to himself in the third person in texts.
Mr. Jim wants to thank you for making Jim take first aid and CPR class…. Last night 6 pm.Debbie choked on a large pill….before the EMTs got to the house, I was able to force some of the pill and powder out…Lyn, I never want to see that look on her face again P.S. Jim just knew he would NEVER use his skill! But thanks for making Jim take the classs…and Debbie is still with me. P.S. Can Jim come back and be in the running as a hero’s candidate at the Red Cross Heroes Breakfast?
Of golf and gibbons
There’s a lot of things we love in Bloomington-Normal. Eating out. Golf. And the Miller Park Zoo. In fact, February was a record month for three of B-N’s courses and the Miller Park Zoo. The city links saw a total of 549 golf rounds played in February — compared with three rounds played in February 2015. And Miller Park Zoo’s attendance reached 5,925 admissions in February, a 67 percent increase over the previous all-time February record of 3,547 in 1999.
