NCI ARTworks to host reception for emerging artists
More than a dozen artists to be featured
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
NCI ARTworks will host an opening reception 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 12, for more than a dozen emerging artists at NCI ARTworks Gallery, 400 Fifth St., Peru.
The opening reception is free and open to the public.
The artists include:
David Alleman grew up drawing in La Salle. He focused not only on visual arts but music performances. Versed in traditional art media and inspired by street art, Alleman creates hybrid art pieces.
Emily Maze is a professional artist whose work can be seen at numerous public art installations in the Illinois Valley. She is a principal muralist on the Westclox Studio team, which is responsible for the Mendota Union Depot mural, the Seneca “Find Your Connection” mural, as well as numerous smaller public murals. She also collaborates with renowned mosaic artist Susan Burton.
Francesco Messina has been painting with acrylics for the past few years. He was inspired to create paintings of the universe overlaid with whimsical images from literature and Norse mythology by watching street artists create similar works of art in the squares and galleries he visited during his travels in the U.S. and abroad.
Jacob Stouffer pushes the boundaries of his creativity, drawing inspiration from the world around him and his personal experiences. Each piece is a testament to his evolving vision and dedication to his craft, offering a glimpse into the heart and
mind of a young artist on the rise. Stouffer’s art is not just a visual experience, it is an emotional journey. He believes in the transformative power of art to heal, inspire and connect all people. As he continues to evolve as an artist, Stouffer remains committed to exploring the depths of human emotion and sharing that journey with his audience.
Jannett Kelly’s whimsical work takes color and movement to another level. Using mixed media and materials, she creates thoughtful and sometimes disturbing vignettes of otherworldly images.
Jeremy Faivre’s artistic inspiration can be found in the Post Impressionism and Surrealism genres of fine art. His art is born of life events that dramatically and colorfully reflect both the pleasant and unpleasant aspects of it. His work is mainly created in acrylic. One of his outstanding pieces is included in the NCI ARTworks publication called “From Harm to Hope – A Multi-Artist Retrospective of Trauma and Recovery,” available on the nciartworks. com website.
Kat Bouxsein is a Putnam County artist, exhibiting locally for the first time. Her large-scale whimsical creatures are the product of her fertile imagination. Bouxsein graduated with a bachelor of fine arts and is working as a freelance artist. She works in a variety of mediums, depending on the inspiration.
Lili Heredia is a university student who grew up in the Illinois Valley and was trained from childhood in the use of acrylics and in drawing in both graphite and charcoal. Her work has won awards in various art shows in the Illinois Valley.
Lisa Carlson is relatively new to the local fine art scene, but her dramatic alcohol ink work overlaid with skillful line drawings has been taking the local art scene by storm at many local art fairs. Her
work often portrays the Rubenesque female form.
Lyle Newby’s artwork encompasses a wide range of mediums, including paintings, canvas reliefs and demi-sculptures. Through a thoughtful examination of discarded materials, unwanted objects and seemingly purposeless items, he repurposes these remnants of the contemporary world. His multidimensional artworks are filled with lines, shapes, forms, curves, textures and vibrant colors unique to his vision.
Megan Truscott is a Chicago-based artist, educator and counselor. She earned her BFA in Scenic Design from The Theatre School at DePaul University and continued on to design for companies across the U.S. including Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Theatre Squared, Pennsylvania Youth Theater, Porchlight Theater Company and Jackalope Theater Company, among others. Truscott began her MFA in Scenic Design at Northwestern University in 2016 before recognizing her passion for working in education. She continued on to Purdue University where she earned her M.S.Ed. in Counseling Sciences in 2019 with a concentration in School Counseling. Morgan Phillips grew up in the Illinois Valley area and after earning a BFA in Industrial Design in 2022, she began working as a muralist at Westclox Studios. Phillips has been instrumental in creating numerous works of public art, including the Mendota Union Depot mural and the “Find Your Connection” mural in Seneca.
Nate Petitdieu is a well-rounded artist, whose line drawings of imaginative superheroes and fantastical characters practically leap from the page. The characters he creates are uniquely suited to adventure and thriller narratives that he creates

STEPHANA MICHAELLA BARR
Born: February 10, 1979 in Peoria, Illinois
Died: June 30, 2024 in Hennepin, Illinois
Stephana Michaella (Wells) Barr, 45, or Steph to her friends and family, passed Sunday, June 30 at her home in Hennepin, Ill. She had been fighting leukemia since she was diagnosed on the first day of school last August. Steph worked as a teacher’s aide at Putnam County Primary School in Granville for 13 years where she had hoped to return to working with the children, whom she loved. And the students loved Mrs. Barr too. Steph was born in Peoria, Ill. on February 10, 1979 to Darlene (Short) Hernan and Stephen Wells, at which time she became little sister to Jason Wells.
In the fourth grade Steph met her life-long friends Heather Hoffman and Kim Howard-Hall. Steph and her ride-or-die “bitches” had many adventures, and a few misadventures, throughout their decades-long friendship. The three shared an unbreakable bond that was cherished by each of them well past their graduation from Limestone High School in Bartonville, Ill. Steph also earned an associates degree in accounting from Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Ill.
Her best friends Kim and Heather stood by her side when she married Ryan Barr on October 19, 2002 in Peoria, Ill. The two had been introduced over a lunch-break meal by Steph’s father and a couple of hunting buddies he and Ryan shared. That awkward meeting with three unlikely chaperones turned into a nearly 22-year marriage and two fiercely-loved children, Lena and Hunter Barr.
Steph always knew she wanted to be a mom. Lena and Hunter made her a very proud

one in the too-few years she shared with them. To Steph, her kids and family were everything to her. She also loved sunflowers, the color purple and a good off-color joke. Her laugh, which occasionally produced a snort, was one of pure delight.
For both Ryan and Steph, their happy place was the family cabin at Mendota Hills Campground in Amboy, Ill. where they spent most of their recent summers with their six beloved wieners, two children and a golf cart.
After her cancer diagnosis, Steph said that if the Make-a-Wish Foundation fulfilled dreams for adults, hers would be to share a smoke with Snoop Dogg.
Steph was preceded in death by her father Stephen (Patricia) Wells, her nonie Gloria Wells and her papa William Wells, with whom she shared a birthday. All were from Peoria, Ill. She is survived by her husband, Ryan Barr of Hennepin, daughter Lena Barr (Logan Cox) of Toluca and Hunter Barr of Hennepin; her mother and step-father Darlene and Perry
Hernan of East Peoria, brother Jason (Emily) Wells of Creve Coeur and step-brother Ehren Hernan of East Peoria, many loving family members, friends and her five dogs Jimmy, Juliet, Mary Jane, Jedi and Johnson. She said her dog Jack, the O.G. wiener of the crew who crossed the rainbow bridge in January and her much-loved six-toed rescue cat Emme would be waiting to greet her.
Per Steph’s request there will be no services for fake tears to be shed by petty looky loos. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. Memorials may be directed to the family.
Dysart – Cofoid Funeral Chapel will be assisting the family with the arrangements. Online condolences may be made to her family at www.dcfunerals.com

alongside his art. In addition to his graphic illustrations, his acrylic work is also quite appealing. It is softer and more colorful than his graphic work, but it is stylish and beautiful as well.
Penny Boedigheimer is a retired law enforcement officer who was classically trained as an artist at Northern Illinois University. Boedigheimer’s work often presents a stylized vision of her world as a police officer. She integrates material related to her previous profession into artwork. Her work encompasses all mediums but her specialty in this exhibit are pieces formed from bullet casings and thematically related to law enforcement issues.
Penny Guynn’s pour art creates forms of textures that flow colorfully into one another, forming patterns out of which emerge subtle images.
Ryan Stanley began her creative journey with simple graphite drawings that she later parlayed into graphic images that have been used as tattoo designs for numerous tattoo parlors in the Midwest. She has expanded her artistic offerings by creating colorful acrylic abstracts and mixed media pieces.
Samuel Dickey is an emerging artist from the Illinois Valley. He paints the

beauty of God’s creations and the things that make him think about life. His preferred medium is oil, but he also likes to draw with graphite and charcoal. He is going to pursue a career in art.
Stephanie Latty is a local artist based out of Granville, whose lifelong love for drawing and painting was instilled in her at an early age. She earned her Associates of Arts degree from Illinois Valley Community College in 2008. Majoring in the studio arts with a discipline in photography and graduated with a BS from Illinois State University in 2011. Her unique style of mixing acrylic ink and charcoal was born shortly afterward. She has always been fascinated with the randomness and unpredictability of splatter art, which is demonstrated in each of her pieces. The balance found between the randomness and uniqueness of the background paired with a structured and diligently drawn interior is the ultimate struggle and accomplishment. Her work encompasses a full spectrum of people, animals and nature.
Vincent Fleming is a native of La Salle, who has been working with various mediums for many years. His preferred subjects are self-identification images and whimsical creatures as well as fantastical landscapes from the inner workings of his mind.

IDNR announces 2024 schedule of waterfowl blind site drawings
Waterfowl hunters should mark their calendars for upcoming waterfowl blind drawings at several public hunting areas in Illinois.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources will host traditional blind drawings at various sites for this year. Participants are advised to follow any site-specific drawing procedures.
The Sunday, July 28, sites include Lake DePue State Fish and Wildlife Area with registration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Oak Grove Park, 0.75 miles west of DePue on Route 29; Marshall State Fish and Wildlife Area, including the Sparland Unit with registration from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the area check station, five miles south of Lacon on Route 26; Starved Rock State Park with registration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Buffalo Rock State Park (large picnic shelter area), three miles west of Ottawa on Dee Bennett Road.
Waterfowl hunters must register in person for blind site drawings and must be present at the drawing held at each location after the registration period to claim their blind sites. Mail-in or registrations are not accepted. Blind allocations for these sites are good for one year.
To participate in a drawing, all applicants must present a 2023 or 2024 regular Illinois hunting license; a 2023 or 2024 Illinois Migratory Waterfowl Stamp at the time they register, unless exempted by law; and valid photo identification. Applicants must be at least 16 years old by
the date of the drawing. No apprentice licenses and no youth licenses will be accepted unless the youth license holder also presents hunter safety certification.
Applicants needing to purchase licenses and stamps should do so before the drawing. Most blind drawing locations will not have license sales available. Licenses and stamps are available at any IDNR license and permit vendor or through the IDNR website.
Registrants are no longer required to possess a valid Illinois Firearm Owner’s Identification card from the Illinois State Police to participate in blind drawings. Also, to be an eligible applicant for the drawing, participants must not have their hunting privileges suspended or revoked by IDNR or any other jurisdiction at the time of the drawing. Out-of-state residents must have an annual 2023 or 2024 nonresident hunting license for Illinois and a 2023 or 2024 Illinois Migratory Waterfowl Stamp. Fiveday licenses will not be accepted. Individuals with a disability precluding them from hunting from a waterfowl blind may be accommodated through the issuance of a Standing Vehicle Permit from IDNR.

Currie enjoys big league experience
Post 125 player plays for Illinois All-Stars at Busch Stadium
By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com
It was a big league experience in every way for Nicholas Currie.
The 2023 Putnam County graduate, who is playing for Princeton Post 125 this summer, played for the Illinois AllStars against the Missouri All-Stars in an American Legion All-Star game on Sunday, June 23, at Busch Stadium following the St. Louis Cardinals game with the San Francisco Giants.
He got to bat once, pitch an inning and play in the outfield two innings.
“It was an incredible experience.
Getting out there and playing on a field like that, it was incredible,”
Currie said.
“There’s no other way to explain it, really. I mean everything was perfect down to every little detail. They made sure the field was ready for you like it was a professional game. It was really amazing. Even warmup time, coming down from the tunnels underneath where we got changed for the game.
“They turned the lights on somewhere like that fourth inning, so you’re playing under the lights. And you’ve got the [Gateway] Arch in the background, too. It was an amazing place to be.”
Currie, who redshirted his fresh -
men season at the University of Missouri Science and Technology, started the game in left field and returned there in the third inning as the Illinois All-Stars shared playing time, making a couple of plays in the field.
He also got to pitch in the eighth inning to close out the game.
“It was definitely a bit of a different feel,” he said of standing on the mound of a big league field. “If you make a good pitch, you can catch the ball and turn it around and watch it on the big screen. Or you just look around and there’s three decks of seating all around you. They weren’t full for this game, obviously, so just the feel of being in there and you look at towards center field and you see the Arch out there was amazing.
“Pitching’s always the same thing. You’re always doing the same thing no matter where you’re at, what mound
you’re on, but that had a special feel to it.”
He also got one at-bat, which didn’t turn out quite the way he would have liked.
“Got a full count and struck out on a curve ball. Kind of unfortunate the one at-bat I got at Busch Stadium was a strikeout, but at least I can say I got an at-bat at Busch Stadium,” he said.
Illinois lost to Missouri 12-8.
“We had a couple rough innings, let up a few runs,” Currie said.
Currie said he didn’t see any of the big league players come out for the American Legion game. He said he was told that several came out for last year’s all-star game and got kicked out for cheering too loud.
“That’s very ironic that a Legion umpire would kick out MLB players at their own stadium cheering on a bunch of high school kids,” he said.

Eleven Illinois Valley college and future college baseball players are finding a home in the Kernel Collegiate League this summer in Normal.
They are part of the four-team league playing at the Corn Crib, the home field of the Normal CornBelters, who are a part of the Prospects League, along with the Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp.
The Kernel Collegiate League is in its fifth year featuring four teams. Each team roster is made up of 30-32 local area collegiate players, competing in round-robin games each week, ending with the July 2 championship.
The local players are enjoying the opportunity to play in the Kernel League.
“It’s a great league to be in – playing good competitive baseball. At the same time it’s pretty relaxed,” said Putnam County graduate Nicholas Currie, who is a member of the Ground Sloths. “Everybody’s going out to get their reps in and stay sharp over the summer. We’ve got a few weeks left before we get to the championships. Everybody’s still pretty relaxed and going out to have fun. It’s not too far away from home and it’s an amazing field down there, too.”
Recent Hall graduate Max Bryant, a pitcher who recently committed to play for Southwest Illinois Community College, has also had a positive experience in the league.
“It’s been nice,” Bryant said. “I’ve had a few ups and downs when it comes to getting in innings. I’ve gotten rained out quite a few times, but the overall experience has been very enjoyable.”
Bryant is one of three former Hall Red Devils, including Payton Plym (University of Indianapolis) and Ethan Plym (Illinois Valley COmmunity College), reunited on the Blue Caps team.
They are joined by Andrew Pyszka and Jackson McDonald of Putnam County, both playing collegiately for St. Charles (Misouri) Community College.
Pyszka is batting .400 with eight RBIs with the pitchers combining for a 1-2 record in 14 appearances and three starts, including Bryant’s 1-1 mark.

Bi-County All-Stars start 1-2 in pool play at state
The Bi-County Junior League All Stars split a pair of games Saturday and lost Sunday during pool play in the state tournament in Burbank.

Bi-County bounced back with a 17-0 rout of District 15 in four innings.
Bi-County scored four runs in the first inning, exploded for 11 in the
La Salle-Peru products Mason Lynch (Black Hawk) and Billy Mini (Illinois Central College) are teaming up for the Bobcats, making eight appearances with four starts between them.
Currie, who red-shirted his freshman season at Missouri Science and Technology, and Henry’s Lance Kiesewetter (Heartland) are both pitching for the Ground Sloths.
Kiesewetter has made three appearances with two starts at the Corn Crib, his home field for Heartland, while Currie made his second start Sunday against the Bobcats, surrendering eight hits and six runs with three strikeouts over 5-plus innings.
“I felt like I could have done bet -
second and tacked on two more in the third.
Richardson, Alexis Margis and Paige Tonioni each hit home runs for Bi-County, while Richardson and Kennedy Holocker combined for a no-hitter and nine strikeouts.
Bi-County lost 15-5 to District 7 on
ter,” Currie said. “There’s always going to be some self-critique that you have, a mistake pitch here, you should have thrown a changeup instead of a fastball. But the team was really supportive and said I did a good job. Coach said it was one of the better starts they’ve had all year and was really impressed.
“I’m looking forward to my next start which will be on July 7, I believe.”
Two more area pitchers suit up for the Merchants, Hall product Luke Kelty (Monmouth College) and Putnam County’s Troy Petty (Elgin CC). Petty stands 2-0 in four starts while Kelty has appeared in four games with one start.
Sunday, allowing 11 runs over the final two innings.
