Me hamming it up at our First Bite event. appy summer!

Tis the season of golf outings, outdoor concerts and summer plays. In this issue you’ll find coverage of some wonderful charity events including a Tee it Up for GFPD, a new event that was hugely successful. Our centerspread features photos from a magical fundraiser that raised money for the Boys and Girls Club. And be sure to read our cover story on cruises.

If you don’t have your summer vacation planned yet, you should definitely consider hitting the high seas.

H

Two of the events in this month’s magazine are Pantagraph sponsored —First Bite (a portion of the proceeds will benefit Midwest Food Bank) and the Royal Princess Coronation and Festival, produced by Holiday Spectacular Inc. These two events were both sellouts, and we look to do both annually, so if you were unable to get tickets for either event, stay tuned to your Pantagraph or Pantagraph.com so you don’t miss out next year.

Looking forward to lots more fun in the sun in next month’s issue, including coverage of a beloved Fourth of July show, more charity events, and, of course, more golf outings. If you’d like Limited to attend a function or event you are having, please email me at jkehias@pantagraph.com.

Miller Park Zoo Celebrates 125 Years Story and Photos by Deanna Frautschi

H

ard to believe that Bloomington’s little Miller Park Zoo, one of the smallest members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year!

Many animals have been on display at the zoo over the years including lions, chimpanzees, a polar bear, a moose, black bears, an alligator, bison and penguins. Today, there are habitat requirement guidelines for new exhibits and careful attention is paid to animals added to the zoo.

Key attractions are the snow leopards, tiger, river otters, harbor seals, singing dogs, eagles, Galapagos tortoises, Red Pandas, Wallaroos and wolves. The tropical rainforest lets visitors get up close and personal with birds and animals of the rainforest in a naturalized setting. Animals like San Clemente Goats and Budgie Birds let visitors have personal encounters with certain animals.

Conservation and Education New Focus

According to Zoo Director Jay Tetzloff, zoos are often the last chance for survival of animals before they go extinct. He notes, “There are a number of species extinct in the wild that are only found in zoos today.”

He adds, “Engagement and education are key to involving people wanting to save species around the world. In the case of the endangered species snow leopards born at the zoo, it is extremely unlikely that most guests to the zoo will ever get to see one in Central Asia.” Zoos may be their last chance for survival.

“Supporting our zoo to keep it as a place for conservation of species is so important,” said Susie Ohley, Director of Miller Park Zoological Society.

“Our chief responsibility is to help sustain and provide funds and community education and outreach for this wonderful little gem of a zoo that adds so much to the quality of life in our community.” For more information about the zoo, go to www.millerparkzoo.org.

Bill Flick Your July 2016 BNI (Bloomington-Normal Index): Cover the ears, Fido!

Because of pets who are frightened by noisy Fourth of July fireworks and break away, July 5 is one of the busiest days of the year for vets and Bill Flick animal shelters in Columnist Central Illinois. So say veterinarians here.

It’s not the heat but the humidity … that gives the ice creators at the downtown Pepsi Center ice rink next to U.S. Cellular Coliseum its biggest fits this time of year.

Humid air holds more caloric content than dry air, they will tell you, and the chillers and condensers have to work twice as hard to cool the ice half as much.

Our biggest exports: Corn, beans … and Kikkoman soy sauce?: Central Illinois farms are a major supplier to dining room tables across America and in an unusual way, too. Many major makers of soy sauce from around the world come to Central

Illinois for their soybeans. Kikkoman is perhaps the biggest name.

a program that runs through the fall.

Say ‘cheeseburger’: The word was, in fact, patented from here, by Steak ’n Shake creator Gus Belt in the 1940s.

Fairbury, says the Trib: As you wile away summer and mull little day trips, the Chicago Tribune recently recommended -- in a listing of the “13 Best Day Trips from Chicago” – Fairbury. It cites the Livingston County town of 4,000 as “a major menu source for Chicago’s finest restaurants” and recommends taking the hour long tour ($4) of the Kilgus Farmstead (dairy) where (kilgusfarmstead.com) we’ll “get acquainted with the farm’s herd of sweet, doe-eyed Jersey cows, learn the ins and outs of milking and sample freshly spun soft-serve.” Then only 3 miles away, it suggests we then hit the Slagel Family Farm (for a wide range of meats) where a team of Chicago chefs put on special farm dinners ($125 – slagelfamilyfarm.com) in

A reminder of racial times gone by: Bloomington’s Evergreen Cemetery has a special section for blacks who fought in the Civil and Spanish-American wars.

Baltimore: Where, if your luggage is to be lost when bound for Central Illinois Regional Airport, it is most likely to end up. That’s because the Bloomington airport code is BMI and Baltimore– Washington International Airport is BWI. Dyslexic baggage handlers are really at a disadvantage.

Zero. In case you were counting, that’s the number of bars and pubs in Normal, that would serve you an alcoholic drink until 1973. Until then, since its founding

by Jesse Fell who found alcohol “the work of the devil,” the town didn’t allow alcohol.

Gailey Eye Clinic 75th Anniversary Patient and Physician Recognition Gailey Eye Clinic, Bloomington Saturday, May 14 Photos by Thom Rakestraw

I

t was a morning of renewing long-time friendships, telling some great stories and remembering the man who name was synonymous with the gift of sight, Dr. Watson Gailey. Some of Dr. Gailey’s original patients were on hand to share stories, including Pete Whitmer, who went to Dr. Gailey because he was cross-eyed.

After 3 surgeries, Dr. Gailey fixed Pete’s eye problem and at a final consultation, declared “My, I do good work!”

Roberta Taylor, who saw Dr. Gailey when she was 5 because of poor eyesight, remembers Dr. Gailey as a “genius” and a “wonderful man.” Roberta, her husband and her daughter are all life-long patients of Gailey Eye Clinic.

One of Dr. Gailey’s scrub nurses, Betty Wagner said “I always marveled at how someone with such large hands could do such delicate work.”

Many of the Gailey doctors were on hand to share their memories and thoughts on working at this renowned institution.

LEG HEALTH TIPS FOR RUNNERS or sleeves after running. Athletic recovery socks and sleeves are available and are designed to improve and speed up recovery after physical activity by helping to flush out lactic acid, relieving tired legs and reducing muscle soreness.

I

f you are a runner, there are a few things you can do to improve your leg health.

• Keep track of the mileage on your shoes. Most experts advocate replacing your running shows every 350-450 miles because they begin to breakdown with more use.

• Take a warm bath or soak in a hot tub after running. This will help warm your muscles and relax them.

• Hydrate well before running to avoid cramps.

• Replenish fluids after running by drinking lots of water.

• Consider wearing compression socks

Anyone who wants to maximize endurance by improving blood circulation and increasing oxygen delivery to the legs can benefit from compression socks or sleeves. These garments apply external pressure to the leg to reduce venous pressure within the limb. The pressure is greatest at the ankle and lessens as it moves up the leg. The stockings and sleeves work with the pumping action of your calf muscle as you run. Used for years to prevent the formation of blood clots among inactive or bedridden patients, they are also commonly worn by those in jobs that require a lot of standing.

Some runners wear compression gear while training and running while others wear them only after a run. There are no definitive studies that show an advantage to wearing them during a run but many runners swear by them, especially ultra runners. Soccer players, basketball players and other sports enthusiasts are seen wearing them during competition as well.

If you have concerns about your leg health, 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 Streator.

Summer on the Seas Story by Tricia Stiller

A

h, summer vacations. Everyone needs them. Some actually take them, and others just dream about them.

There’s just so much planning to do. How do you find the one trip that has something for everybody to enjoy? Do we drive cross country or do we fly the friendly skies?

Greg Phillips of Expedia CruiseShipsCenters would like to encourage you to choose option “C” (for cruise) and set sail this summer for an unforgettable voyage that offers a different adventure each night. A lifelong travel enthusiast turned cruise aficionado, Phillips explains that modern cruising is a bit different than what you may have seen on “The Love Boat” back in the 1970s.

“Believe it or not, Gavin MacLeod, who played Captain Stubing, and Ted Lange, who played Isaac, are still used in advertising for Princess Cruises,” Phillips shares with a laugh.

“Today’s ships are much larger than the series’ Pacific Princess was,” he adds. “Modern cruising is designed to be different things to different people. People with an appreciation for fine cuisine will find their happy places, while people who want an active holiday will find fantastic workout spaces. People who love great entertainment can find amazing Broadwaystyle productions, and those who want to vegetate poolside can certainly do so. The shoppers, the learners, and even the gamblers will all find cruising to fit their needs. And there are some people where even the greatest ship is merely just a hotel

22

on the water that takes them to the next great destination.”

If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, “With so many amenities, this has got to cost a fortune.” Surprisingly, according to Phillips, cruising is very affordable when you consider everything that’s included. “For most cruise lines, the fare will cover your accommodations, your meals, your entertainment, your transportation from port to port and a plethora of onboard activities. It generally does not cover alcohol or soda, gratuities, internet access or on-shore excursions, but every cruise line is different. An agent can help you navigate the offers and find the one that best meets your needs.”

By now, if you’re like me, you’re thinking, “Wow, a cruise sounds perfect! But where should I go, and do I need a passport?” Phillips explains that it’s a good idea to have a passport, especially if you’re from the state of Illinois and because of current issues with the Real ID Act. Some smaller river cruise ships are American-built and don’t travel beyond the U.S. boundaries so a passport would not be required. The larger vessels, however, are foreign-built and foreign-flagged. By U.S. law, these ships cannot sail from a U.S port back to a U.S port without first stopping at a foreign port, making a passport necessary for travel. An Alaska Inside-Passage cruise from Seattle requires a photocopy of a birth certificate along with a photo ID. “From the perspective of popularity,” Phillips explains,

“the Caribbean will always be king. Alaska, Europe, both Mediterranean and Baltic, Mexico, Hawaiian and New England/ Canadian cruises, are all very popular.” From his personal perspective, Phillips suggests that if you’re making a bucket list, you should be sure to include the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica and southern South America, Australia and New Zealand, an African safari river cruise, and a river cruise past the castles along the Rhine.

Still intimidated by the idea of planning a cruise vacation?

Then Expedia CruiseShipCenters are there to help. “We are full service,” assures Phillips. “We are there for you before, during and after your vacation – these are words we live by.” The staff helps with the cruise, hotels, flights, excursions, transfers, travel insurance, as well as offers advice on things to see and do in your destination. “We work to build relationships, and we consider our clients to be friends. Whether it’s one person taking a solo vacation, or a group of 100 traveling together, every trip is special to us.”

Expedia Inc., the biggest name in travel in the world, provides Phillips the clout he needs to negotiate the best deals and to get the best amenities for his clients, which suits him just fine.

“We truly aim to be the trusted source for cruise and travel in Bloomington-Normal. My favorite cruise is the one I’m working on at the moment. I love it! I couldn’t dream of a better way to spend my days!”

Trout Fishing in the Rockies My son loves to outfit his aging flat-lander father with chest-high waders, rainbows of handmade flies, super-light fly rod, creel on hip, then hike to the highest trout lake.

The arduous trail is strewn with big rocks, fallen trees and roots that bulge like big biceps out of the earth. I stumble, pick myself up. My chest heaves in air thin as trout-skin. Winded, I rest on a boulder with round places for my elbows. Are we almost there? I call between deep draughts of light air. Just another hundred yards or so, hang in there.

Now, at water’s edge, the boy rigs my rod. With strong hands he steadies me as we wade in cool spring-fed waters. The sun shines high; the lake sparkles rippling in the gentle breeze.

Out of this hard hike, this weary body, this empty creel, comes one magical moment, clean and clear, a moment always known--now said, I love you, dad.

Business Barometer Marijuana shop to open this summer

City to aid artisanal businesses

State Farm refreshes slogan

Housing sales up in April

NORMAL — Despite delays, Denver, Colo.-based The Green Solution remains confident Normal’s first medical marijuana dispensary will open this summer at the former Curves building at 501 Northtown Road after a state inspection in mid-July.

BLOOMINGTON — State Farm is hitting the refresh button on its familiar commercial ad jingle, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” with a shift to “Here to help life go right” and a new marketing campaign designed to reflect State Farm’s services and products beyond auto and home insurance.

MMNA plant closes, changes hands

NORMAL — The last 170 workers at Mitsubishi Motors North America left the Normal plant on May 31, the day before Maynards Industries and Industrial Assets Corp. took over ownership and the search for a new use for the plant.

Blaze Pizza gets warm reception

NORMAL — Blaze Pizza, 1601 E. College Ave., Normal, opened May 26 to long lines people eager to try the custom-made, artisanal offerings of the national chain’s first site in downstate Illinois.

Unemployment hits 5.4% in April

BLOOMINGTON — The unemployment rate for the Bloomington Metro Area, which includes McLean and DeWitt counties, edged up 1.5 percentage points to 5.4 percent in April, and the total workforce fell from 96,900 in April 2015 to 94,300 this April, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

Green Top to open store next year

BLOOMINGTON — With a planned groundbreaking this summer, Green Top Grocery, a 10,000-square-foot co-op store planned for 921 E. Washington St., Bloomington, is expected to open next spring or early summer.

BLOOMINGTON — With the buy-local movement catching on locally, city officials began looking in May at a zoning change to allow small-scale production of everything from craft beers to artisanal candles without forcing businesses to go to a manufacturing district.

Realtors closed 277 residential sales transactions in April in the Twin Cities, up 11.2 percent from 249 in April 2015, and year-to-date total sales grew by 5.6 percent, from 715 to 755, according to the BloomingtonNormal Association of Realtors.

Normal buys Route 66 landmark

NORMAL — The town of Normal has agreed to spend more than $600,000 to buy and renovate the former Sprague’s service station at 305 Pine St., a partially restored Route 66 landmark, and turn it into a tourist attraction by this fall.

Development eyed at ex-Mennonite site

BLOOMINGTON — The city of Bloomington has agreed to pay $14,000 to Peckham, Guyton, Albers and Viets to study the feasibility of a tax increment financing district to promote business development at the site of the former Mennonite Hospital and Electrolux office building at 807 N. Main St.

Gailey marks anniversary with free services

BLOOMINGTON — Gailey Eye Clinic in Bloomington celebrated its 75th “birthday” in May by giving four patients from the Community Health Care Clinic free cataract surgeries and 10 others free vision exams.

New Showcase site a hit

NORMAL — The new, bigger location for the McLean County Chamber of Commerce Twin Cities Showcase, which featured 80 businesses and organizations along with 17 food vendors, got high marks from people attending the May 12 event at Illinois State University’s Bone Student Center in Normal.

he two eagles at Miller Park Zoo (Beauty and Matata) cannot be released into the wild. Like all eagles housed in zoos, they can only be kept because an illness or accident has endangered their ability to live in the wild. An interesting note is that wild bald eagles stop at park trees almost every year around the holidays to visit Beauty and Matata at the zoo.
