Putnam County Rotary launches scholarship in memory of Dan Ramirez

Rotary volunteer and member died Oct. 23 in car accident The Putnam County Rotary Club announced this week that the club will create a scholarship fund honoring the memory of fellow member Dan Ramirez, who tragically died in a single-car accident on Oct. 23. Ramirez had been a Rotary volunteer and member, participating in nearly every Rotary project since joining. He also served on the club’s board of directors, and offered several suggestions that will augment existing projects sponsored by the local service club. As noted by Club President Brenda Bickerman, even on the day of his passing he had participated in the club’s “End Polio Now” campaign, helped a community member with

technology issues, reached out to her with suggestions for new Rotary projects and helped put together the music for the high school’s Sadie Hawkins dance which was also sponsored in part by the Rotary Club. The new scholarship will be offered to graduating seniors intending to advance their education in the field of internet technology, with at least two $500 scholarships available in Spring 2022. Criteria will favor students who have participated in community service, either as members of PCHS Interact or otherwise. Applications will be available through the office of PCHS Guidance Counselor Tyler Ellena. The club will raise money to help fund the scholarships by offering a “calendar raffle” in February 2022. Community members wishing to also donate to the fund may contact PutnamCountyRotary@gmail.com or call Project Chair Nancy Burress at 815-481-2580.

Mayor Jeff Bergfeld of Henry signs a proclamation recognizing Nov. 1 as National Family Literacy Day as Chief Senachwine Chapter NSDAR Literacy Promotion Chairman Nancy Gillfillan looks on. Chapter activities, such as a book donation to the local library, a Family Reading Night and assistance to the Girl Scouts in finalizing their placement of a Little Free Library, will emphasize literacy throughout November.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 34 million people (10.5%) manage diabetes in the U.S. Diabetes can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney disease and blindness. You can be more at risk for developing type 2 diabetes if you smoke, are overweight or obese, are physically inactive, have an AIC of 7.0 or higher, or have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Everyone is invited to join Extension education Susan Glassman for researchbased educational information on man-

aging diabetes in the “Your Time is Now! Feel more prepared and confident about diabetes” classes. By attending, participants will learn to set goals, choose healthier foods and drinks, add in activity and other wellness strategies. They will discuss getting through the holidays and managing those leftovers. These classes help identify small steps that can make a big difference. Each class will include a cooking demonstration and a sample to taste for a diabetes-friendly recipe. Recipes and research-based information will be available. Classes will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesdays, Nov. 23 and 30, at the Putnam County Community Center, 128 First St. in Standard. To register for the class, call 815-339-2711.

Members hear presentation on Cherry Mine Disaster LACON — The Marshall-Putnam Retired Teachers Association (MPRTA) held its meeting on Oct. 19 at the Timber Ridge Golf Club in Lacon. After the regular business meeting, MPRTA member Sandra Woest presented a program on The Cherry Mine Disaster. The Cherry Mine was built in 1904 and was considered to be the safest mine ever built in U.S. history; it turned out to be the scene of the third most disastrous mine accident in U.S. history. On Nov. 13, 1909, a fire in the mine left hundreds of women widowed and nearly 500 children orphaned. This was a national tragedy. Newspapers told the story of the continuing relief and rescue efforts and the follow-up investigation. Foreign governments sent consuls to Cherry to attend to their bereaved nationals; troops arrived to maintain order, and Americans gave generously in response to calls for help from the Red Cross and The Chicago Tribune. At the Cherry Library on Main Street in Cherry there is an exhibit room with many artifacts, photographs and much information about The

This tragic event is an important part of local history; we honor the memory of those who lived and died in that disaster by learning about it.

The annual planning meeting of the MPRTA was held Nov. 2. Plans for programs in 2022 were discussed and tentatively scheduled.

Kinzinger supports bill to research neurological affects of COVID-19 Moved to action by a Morris native who experienced neurological issues caused by COVID-19, U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger introduced a bill to award grants on a competitive basis to support research on neurological and psychiatric illnesses associated with the novel coronavirus infection. Last week, Kinzinger joined six other Congress members, introducing House Resolution 5772, the Brycen Gray and Ben Price COVID-19 Neurological Impact Act, which would authorize the National Science Foundation, in consultation with the National Institutes of Health, to award the research funds. This legislation comes after the death of Price, a Morris native who died of suicide, and Ohio native Brycen Gray earlier this year – both of whom had no history of mental illness, but experienced neurological issues caused by COVID19. “The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on all our lives, but some families across the country have also been victim to a less understood result of a COVID diagnosis,” Kinzinger said in a news release. “There

have been cases of drastic neurological changes and psychiatric illness among individuals following a COVID-19 diagnosis that, in some instances, has led to suicide. “After speaking to the Price family and hearing stories from other members’ constituents, I knew something had to be done. I’m grateful to be a part of this bipartisan group and am hopeful that this legislation will be swiftly considered by Congress so we can get answers for these families and establish a strategy to prevent additional cases.” According to research published in The Lancet Psychiatry, one-in-three patients diagnosed with COVID-19 experience a neurological or psychiatric illness following their diagnosis and infection. Even more alarming, one-in-eight patients are diagnosed with such an illness for the first time. While anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders are among the most common symptoms, researchers have also uncovered a prevalence of serious complications, such as psychosis, dementia and brain hemorrhages, Kinzinger said in a release, citing the research.

LASALLE

Emotions flow up and down Stage 212’s ‘Rabbit Hole’

Pulitzer Prize-winning drama will be performed on LaSalle stage MIKE MURPHY

Shaw Media Correspondent A young boy named Danny is at the center of the Stage 212 drama “Rabbit Hole,” even though his character is never seen onstage. It’s because the 4-year-old has died, yet his presence and absence affects everyone in the five-character play written by David Lindsay-Abaire. Larry Kelsey, director of the play that won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for drama, said many believe “Rabbit Hole” is a dark play. But not completely, Kelsey explained. “There are some tender and humorous moments. ‘Rabbit Hole’ is how people are dealing with death. When it’s serious, it’s serious,” he said. Zoe Peshel portrays Becca, Danny’s mom, who wants to forget much of her son’s past. This puts her at odds with husband Howie, played by Nathan Nosalik. “She has her conflicts and emotion,” Peshel said of Becca. “She’s trying to figure out how to handle the grief.” Peshel describes the play as “amazing” and likes its human aspect. “It shows that when you go through a tragedy it will be OK and you will get through,” she said.

Kelsey said he has had his eye on directing the play for several years. He presented “Rabbit Hole” to Stage 212’s board of directors, who granted him his wish. “It really appealed to me. It’s a beautiful script. Death seemed like modern-day poetry. That’s what I like about this show,” Kelsey said. Peshel is serving as the play’s set designer. Sarah Breyne, who portrays Becca’s sister in “Rabbit Hole,” also is the play’s lighting designer. Kelsey has worked with most of the play’s actors before, and said directing such a small cast allows them to work on the play’s nuances. “They all take direction beautifully. Their chemistry is beautiful.” the director said. Additional cast members include Kathy Missel and Andrew Beer, Peshel’s 15-year-old son. He is a sophomore at LaSalle-Peru High School. “Andrew does musicals,” his mother said. “This is his first dramatic show. It’s been fun to see him to shift his focus. He’s done a great job and I’m very proud of him.” Production staff includes Kelsey; Joe Ennenbach and Jessica Breyne, producers; Beer, assistant director; Ella Johns, stage manager; Breyne, lighting designer; Yvette Lucas, light operator; Kyle Foley, sound designer; Fred Davis, sound operator; Peshel, set designer; and Brian Brown, Steven Kofoid, Scot Smigel and Cory Tomasson, set construction. “Rabbit Hole” will be presented 7:30 p.m. Friday

MICHAEL URBANEC

murbanec@shawmedia.com The Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois is one of 10 applicants for the Build Back Better Regional Challenge, a competition funded by President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan. Administrative Manager Gina Czubachowski said the EDCNCI applied because money from the grant would aid its goal of selling North Central Illinois as a place where industry can grow. The EDCNCI is made up of city officials and business administrators from throughout La Salle, Putnam and Bureau counties and intends to attract industry to the region. Czubachowski listed four things the EDCNCI Board of Directors would like to have done to attract agribusiness and food processing industries as well as advanced manufacturers to the area that fits its goals. “The first one is having our sites reviewed from when we’ve talked to Intersect Illinois and (the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) so we can show they’re shovel-ready to any brokers or prospective business, and that we do have competitive sites that are ready for them to build at any time,” Czubachowski said. “The second thing we noticed in the last five years is the requests for building and unfortunately in our region, we’re at a shortage.”

Czubachowski said La Salle County has space but not many buildings with the qualifications and the size and space required for these kinds of manufacturers. “We’ve researched the Virtual Building Program concept and we would like to pursue that with our region partners to see if that would build value for our communities and our building sites,” Czubachowski said. A Virtual Building Program is a marketing tool that can be used to provide a visual for what a building will look like before it’s built that can be adapted to suit a manufacturer’s needs. Czubachowski said with these resources the region will be able to be more attractive thanks to training programs that already exist and programs coming in the future at Illinois Valley Community College. “They’ve invested a lot in the last two years, especially with agribusiness, so for them, we have a great training resource in our backyard,” Czubachowski said. “It lies with the direction that the college is taking in offering additional business classes and increasing their educational offering that allows us to pursue these industries.” Whether EDCNCI’s grant application wins or not will not be known until fall or summer of 2022. The Build Back Better Regional Challenge received 529 applicants

HENRY

HENRY — River Valley Players is excited to introduce three newcomers to its stage for its upcoming production of “Rise Up O’ Men.” Will Meachun, a Henry resident, is a former music teacher and currently the pastor at the Methodist church in Henry and Washburn. Meachun has joined the RVP board of directors and now has joined the actors on stage. Meachun plays the part of Elroy, a John Deere dealer, a charismatic and charming gent and husband to Karin, guaranteed to capture your heart with his beautiful voice. Ryan Thompson, a Henry native, remembered fondly by his peers, will be playing Roger Herbranson, a fast-talking salesman, witty and a bit of a kaniver. Roger has a lot of goods for sale, but Thompson will try to sell you a bill of goods. He has quite the surprise in store for you! Sterrett Collins is newer to the community, he resides in Galesburg but is the interim pastor at the Henry Presbyterian Church. In the “church” of “Rise Up O’ Men,” he is the handyman, Carl, and is not a bit comfortable in the kitchen with the ladies. Join us and be amused and in awe not only of the talent of these three men but

the other actors as well. Returning to the stage is Ron Friedrich as Pastor, and of course, the three original church basement ladies, Jane Knapp (Karin), Cyndy Bruch (Mavis) and Karen Leifheit (Vivian). For tickets, visit http://www. rvphenry.org or call 309-238-7878. Show dates are Nov. 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21. Both Friday performances are shows only at 7:30 p.m. for $20. Desserts will be available for purchase. Saturday and Sunday are dinner theatre performances for $38. Included is a delicious buffet meal, salad bar, three complimentary beverages, dessert and the show following dinner. On Saturday evenings the meal is served at 6:30 p.m. and on Sunday the meal is served at 12:30 p.m. Since safety is the No. 1 priority for patrons and cast, it is preferred and recommended that masks are worn with the exception of while you are eating and drinking and are required anytime you are away from your table as set forth by the state of Illinois. RVP will follow this mandate until such time as the state lifts it.

Sunday, Nov. 14, will mark the fourth annual Celebration of Giving for the Women Inspired Network. The Celebration is the annual gala to award grant funding to worthy organizations in Starved Rock Country who empower and enhance the lives of women and children. The Women Inspired Network is a women’s giving circle established through the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation, serving Bureau, LaSalle and Putnam counties. Nearly $100,000 has been raised to date; a WIN Scholarship was recently established, and a new website has been created. This year the number of grant recipients will increase to four, thanks to the generosity of the women in WIN who raised nearly $15,000 for grants as well as additional funds for the Women Inspired Network Endowment to

The 2021 grant recipients who support youth, teens and women in crisis include the Putnam County Community Church Backpack Program; Valley Immigrant Advocates Program to support survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence; Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center; and Freedom House of Princeton for a Teen Zone Room. The Celebration of Giving will be in the Bricks and Stones venue at Camp Aramoni in Tonica. The event will feature Fiddlerock with the music of violinist Casey McGrath. The grant funding presentation will follow with grant checks presented to the 2021 recipients.

The Marshall-Putnam Master Naturalist, Master Gardeners and 4-H program enjoyed working with the children at the Toluca Coal Mine Fall Festival in Toluca on Oct. 3 and 10. This old-fashion community wiener roast and activities was a chance for University of Illinois Extension to reach more children through experiencing nature. Even with the first weekend being rained out in the middle of the festivities, approximately 80 children enjoyed the activities during the two weekends of the festival. The Master Gardeners and Master Naturalist had the children paint wood slices and taught them basics of tree identification. Aaron Lindstrom, the 4-H STEM coordinator, taught the children the basics of aeronautics as they made paper helicopters. The younger children and the teens enjoyed seeing whose helicopters could stay flying the longest. Just another reminder of children enjoying nature when given a chance.

DEREK BARICHELLO

dbarichello@shawmedia.com Nearly a full week after Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger said he will not seek a seventh term in Congress, the congressman on Thursday told CNN he is considering a statewide run, or even making a bid for the White House. Kinzinger told CNN that he’ll “probably” make his decision on whether to launch a bid for Illinois governor or the U.S. Senate by January. “The key is, how do we restore the honor of the party in the country?” Kinzinger, a Channahon Republican, told CNN. The Illinois gubernatorial election would be in November 2022. Democratic incumbent Gov. JB Pritzker has said he will run for re-election, and vying so far for the GOP nomination are Paul Schimpf, Darren Bailey and Gary Rabine. Democrat Tammy Duckworth’s Illinois Senate seat also would be up for re-election in November 2022. Six Republicans have said they will run in the GOP primary for the nomination. Kinzinger, a Trump critic who voted in favor of the former president’s second impeachment, started a PAC called Country First, which he said vows to put “country over party.” Kinzinger is serving on a committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran and pilot in the

Wisconsin Air National Guard, was sure to draw a heavy primary challenge if he stayed in the Congressional race. Before Illinois lawmakers approved new Congressional district boundary maps, he had drawn six GOP challengers. In the newly redrawn district, Kinzinger would have been running in the same district as Rep. Darin LaHood, who was elected to his third full term in office last November. Shortly after announcing he would not seek re-election in Congress, Kinzinger told The Hill, “I’m not going anywhere.” “This isn’t resignation, concession or giving up,” Kinzinger told The Hill reporter Andrew Solender and then tweeted the response. Kinzinger gave the response in part to Trump, who reacted to Kinzinger’s Congressional announcement by saying “two down, eight to go,” making reference to the 10 members of the GOP who voted in favor of his second impeachment. As of Sept. 30, Kinzinger’s reelection campaign had almost $3.4 million cash on hand, according to records filed online with the Federal Election Commission. That included more than $1.8 million in campaign contributions raised between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, according to the FEC. Kinzinger has remained committed to continuing his efforts with his Country First PAC. “It has become increasingly obvious to me that as a country we must unplug from the mistruths we’ve been fed,” Kinzinger said. “In Congress, I’ve wit-

Christmas party? Wedding Reception? Bridal Shower? We Cater and Host Private Parties! Open menu options! Formal and Informal Dining Options available! Let us deal with the mess! Call us today to book your party!

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) nessed how division is heavily rooted. There is little to no desire to bridge our differences, and unity is no longer a word we use. It has also become increasingly obvious to me that in order to break the narrative, I cannot focus on both a reelection to Congress and a broader fight nationwide.”

The McNabb Library will host “The 1930s: F.D.R., The Great Depression, and Gone With the Wind” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 , on Zoom. A link will be available on the library Facebook page and website. Unlike the previous decade, the 1930s was an era of hardships. Hit with The Great Depression, many families struggled to put food on the table and clothing on their backs. Work opportunities were scarce. Meanwhile, Swing music increased in popularity and slowly became more popular than the previous decade of Jazz. Amelia Earhart took flight as the first woman pilot. Movies such as “Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz” took root in the 1930s and reminded us that there is “no place like home” and that magic and romance still existed. Artists Diego Rivera and Salvador Dali helped us escape into the visual world of surrealism. Historian Jim Gibbons will take you back to a time of great economic hardship where the American Dream seemed to be an unachievable pursuit. The age of radio made worldwide communication possible. Political figures Franklin Roosevelt and Mohandas Gandhi marked their historical stance. Dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini spread fascism throughout the decade with the rise of the German Nazi party. Then to end the decade, World War II began.

Restaurant reviews

Piccolo’s Pizzeria delivers on reviewers’ raves Tucked away in Tiskilwa is one of Bureau County’s hidden gems, Piccolo’s Pizzeria. On the recommendation of several friends, my crew and I ordered pizza, pasta and a sub from the home-style Italian restaurant that gets good reviews both online and by word of mouth. We opted for delivery out of maximum laziness, and the food arrived exactly at the promised time, still steaming hot. Normally, we order just pizza from all of our favorite local Italian places, but we decided to order a pasta and sub along with a couple pizzas to get the full scope of the menu. We picked a meatball sub, which was a two-handed monster of a sandwich filled with big, juicy, marinara-covered meatballs with mushrooms, onions and peppers, smothered in cheese. The bread was crusty but soft inside, and soaked up the sauce, making a perfect bite. For pasta, we chose baked tortellini, which arrived with a half loaf of garlic bread. Piccolo’s pastas come with a meatless marinara, which makes a good option for any meatless eaters, but for those who prefer meat in their pasta, they do offer meatball and Italian sausage sides. The tortellini was light, with a perfect ratio of sauce, and was completely smothered in melted mozzarella, which is the selling point for me every time. The lightness of the sauce balances nicely with the richness of the cheese. For pizza, we opted for a couple of the more adventurous combinations. Though Piccolo’s has a full menu of classic favorites, the highlights for us were the fancier flavors. We ordered a BLT, which was dotted with bite-size pieces of bacon, sprinkled with lettuce and tomatoes, and drizzled with a mayo sauce. Indulgent, but for BLT fans, this one is a win. It had the perfect balance between a cheese pizza

RIGHT: The meatball sub was a two-handed monster of a sandwich filled with big, juicy, marinara-covered meatballs with mushrooms, onions and peppers, smothered in cheese. and a BLT without either flavor overpowering the other. This one probably doesn’t reheat as well, so opt for lettuce on the side if you don’t want to eat it all at once. The second one we tried was the spinach supreme, which is covered with spinach, ricotta, tomatoes, ched-

dar and mozzarella, and is paired with garlic herb sauce instead of pizza sauce. This was outstanding, with a perfect marriage of flavors between the garlic, spinach and fresh tomatoes. In addition to the Italian restaurant’s thin-crust pies, the menu notes its homemade

pizzas include a stuffed spinach specialty recipe. For $50 including delivery, a group of four of us filled up on everything we sampled, and had leftovers of each dish. Piccolo’s offers delivery to surrounding areas. • The Mystery Diner is an employee at Shaw Media. The
