Carle Health opening clinics in Spring Valley, Henry
Shaw Local News Network correspondent Spring Valley opened Sept. 9, Henry to open Sept. 30
By STEPHANIE JAQUINS
Carle Health announced its plans to open two internal medicine clinics in Spring Valley and Henry.
“Our care teams and providers know these communities and patients and are thrilled to be able to continue serving their health needs at our two new clinics,” Jay Collier, Carle Health Greater Peoria vice president of clinic operations, said in a news release. “High-quality health care you can depend on is so
important, and it’s our privilege to be a part of creating better health outcomes for families across the region.”
The Spring Valley clinic, 1302 N. Greenwood St., opened Monday, Sept. 9, and the Henry clinic, 528 Edward St., will open Monday, Sept. 30. There will be no delays or interruptions in care as Carle integrates its services into these new facilities.
According to a news release, the clinics will expand its services and scope of care to more central Illinoisans, with a group of experienced health care providers, including one of the only board-certified geriatrician providers in the state.
Drs. Mario Cote and Thaw Tun will
be the practicing physicians at the clinics, bringing decades of experience and specialized expertise to patients. They both previously practiced in Spring Valley and Henry before temporary relocations in Lacon and Chillicothe while the new facilities were finalized.
“Both of these facilities are staffed with talented and experienced physicians, nurses and administrators who are committed to those they serve and will bring patients the best possible care experience,” said Marcellus Austin, Carle Health Greater Peoria director of operations. “We look forward to advancing the health needs of the families who call this area home.”

Enjoy death, banditry – and laughs – with ‘The Trail to Oregon!’
Stage 212 presents comic musical Sept. 20-22
By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com
The Oregon Trail. It was littered with the bodies of pioneers who ran afoul of bandits, disease and deadly accidents. How could anyone turn such hard-luck stories into a comic musical?
But there are plenty of laughs and uptempo numbers in “The Trail to Oregon!” Stage 212 in La Salle is staging this genre-bending gem for its offseason production starting Friday, Sept. 20.
Originally produced by Starkid Productions, “The Trail to Oregon!” follows a family of five (two parents, two children and a grandfather) as they make their way from Missouri to Oregon in 1848. During their journey, they deal with the prospects of starvation, bandits and dysentery.
Oh, and the basis for “The Trail to Oregon!” is a video game. Seriously.
Authors Jeff Blim, Matt Lang, Nick Lang and Brian Holden set about writing a musical parody of the “Oregon Trail” video game series. To hear
Stage 212 players tell it, they pulled it off.
“It’s just hilarious,” said Bob Philip, an actor-musician who watched a performance on YouTube and soon auditioned for the part of Grandpa. “So I had to at least try to get into it.
“I’ve done 15 or 16 shows and this is by far the most fun.”
Forrest Boes, who plays McDoon, had grown up with Nintendo’s interactive game that lets players map out their trek and test their survival skills on the western frontier. In later years, Boes learned of the musical adaption and leapt at the chance to try his hand at improvisation.
By Boes’ estimate, “The Trail to Oregon!” is only about 80% defined script. The remaining fifth provides wiggle room for the cast to do improvisation with help from the audience.
“This is a big pivot,” Boes said. “This requires a level of flexibility that I’m not really used to having on stage.”
Director Robert Malerk said “The Trail to Oregon!” was a good choice for offseason production because the show is “not overly complicated in any specific areas.”

“There is no other show like this anywhere,” Malerk said. “This is not your Broadway musical. This is a handful of young people playing around on stage making the audience a little bit uncomfortable. There are a lot of really fun audience participation moments.”
Kylie Atkins plays Daughter and also is the show’s choreographer. She agreed “The Trail to Oregon!” doesn’t readily compare with any other production.
“I’ve done a lot of serious shows, and this is the first where you get to let your creativity flourish,” Atkins said. “Starkid told us, ‘If it’s funnier than what we said, put it in.’ They are awesome partners to work with and their shows are just hilarious.”
The term “audience participation” requires a disclaimer. This isn’t “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” so don’t bring squirt guns and pieces of toast. Like “Rocky Horror,” the show is risque with strong language and is not suitable for family viewing.
And while the humor can be dark – black humor abounds – Boes said much of the dialogue is flat-out silly and lends to belly laughs.
“You’re not going to go home crying,” Boes said.
Rounding out the cast are Dan Schweizer as Father, Chloe Clayton as Mother, Allesyn Wilke as Son and Isaac Alvarado as Cleetus Jones.
Helping Robert Malerk behind the scenes are assistant director Claire Brousseau, producer Karen Lesman, light operator Monika Sudakov, spotlight operators Nik Frig and Jeff Sudakov, sound operator Claire Brousseau and stagehands Haevin Britt, Kenzie Bruce and Lucas Fraga.
“The Trail to Oregon!” will be presented Sept. 20-22 at Stage 212, 700 First St., La Salle. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. The Sunday matinee begins at 2 p.m.
Tickets cost $22. To buy tickets, visit stage212.org or call or visit the box office at 815-224-3025 from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

IVCC offers Continuing Education courses
3,000
Illinois Valley Community College’s Continuing Education Center delivers the world from A-Z, and on an affordable budget, the college said in a news release.
Flipping through the 24-page course catalog, students can explore curling or the latest technology tools (ChatGPT) or the earliest survival tools (the atlatl) or basic yoga.
Each year, about 3,000 participants aging from 5 to 95 sign up for dozens of short courses in leisure activities, youth summer camps and personal or professional enrichment. The summer camps alone draw 400 children.
Along the way, many participants forge lifelong ties to IVCC. Like retired pharmacist William Arkins, who graces the 2024 fall catalog cover and has revisited his alma mater
Illinois Valley Community College’s Continuing Education Center lives up to its name by offering courses for all ages and interests.

many times since graduating from LPO Junior College more than 70 years ago. He still embraces the adventure and believes he owes much to a lifetime’s philosophy that’s kept him moving.
Continuing Education Center Community Program Coordinator
Kim Koehler said college continuing education programs trace their roots to turn-of-the-20th-Century Chautauqua assemblies and the mid-1970s
Road Scholar program. Founding Father Benjamin Franklin founded a club whose members shared a curiosity and a thirst for learning.
“These programs fill a niche, especially in small rural communities,” Continuing Education & Business Services Director Jennifer Scheri said in a news release. “Colleges can offer opportunities beyond traditional education programs, and continuing education programs are ‘a part of a trusted institution where you know you will get a good experience.’”
Scheri said course assortment and schedule-friendly delivery options appeal to new and returning participants. Participants usually sign up for multiple courses, drawn by fresh topics or the satisfaction of completing a sequence or advancing their skills.
A typical IVCC catalog features more than 100 programs and introduces about 50 new topics.
“If you cannot find a topic in the classroom, you can probably find it online,” Koehler said, adding that the team helps participants find programs to match their interests and needs.

Bus trips are always popular. Classes have traveled to theaters, wildlife preserves, historic sites and themed cultural activities. Overnight trips, once a yearly staple, disappeared during COVID-19 but are expected to return soon, Koehler said.
“We aim to create an experience, something people might not find on their own,” Koehler said.
Every travel destination has some new lesson or insight to reveal and summer camp lessons are freed from typical classroom settings and pressures.
Each catalog medley emerges from a complex strategy that involves scrutinizing what has been popular, what other colleges are doing and what loyal followers and new students want to see.
“We want to be a leader,” Scheri said. “We try to be mindful about what’s coming in the future and try to introduce new opportunities.”
Some topics are timeless, others are relevant for a time
and disappear as technology and interests evolve. Some courses such as sewing and fiber art reappear periodically.
Medical coding, computers and technology, regional history and environmental issues are among the current hot topics.
The curriculum is driven by the availability of college or community resources and instructors. The program enlists active or retired professionals, hobbyists who share a passion and retired and active teachers – some of whom have been with the program for 25 to 30 years.
Four years later, the program is rebuilding and finding new markets. Recently, more than 100 new students joined within a two week period in August.
“That’s huge.” Scheri said.
The fall edition catalog dropped into mailboxes and inboxes in early August. Spring editions will arrive in January and the popular children’s summer camp catalog is released each spring. For more information, visit ivcc.edu/ enroll or call to speak to an enrollment specialist, 815224-0427.

HEALTH MATTERS
Back to school can mean the return of lice
The start of a new school year often means shopping for supplies, making new friends and getting acclimated to the teaching styles of new teachers. Unfortunately, a new school year also can mean head lice.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is no precise data regarding how many people get head lice each year. However, an estimated six to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11.
WHAT IS HEAD LICE?
The Minnesota Department of Health says a head louse is an insect that can infest people. Lice make their homes in human hair and feed on blood. Head lice multiply rapidly by laying small, gray-colored, ovalshaped eggs known as nits. The nits are sticky and attach to the base of the hair close to the scalp. Unlike other blood-sucking insects, such as mosquitoes or ticks, head lice are not known to spread disease.
WHO GETS HEAD LICE?
Head lice do not discriminate when they choose a person. They are equal
opportunity feeders and will hop on just about any scalp for a meal. Head lice are not indicative of a lack of hygiene.
The CDC says infestation with head lice is most common among preschool- and elementary school-aged children and members of their household, including caretakers.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF HEAD LICE?
Itching is the most common symptom of head lice, says the Mayo Clinic. A louse bite causes an allergic reaction. Itchiness may occur on the scalp, neck and ears. During visual inspections of the hair and scalp, one may be able to see lice and nits. However, both the eggs and the lice themselves are very small, so it can be challenging to spot them.
Parents and caregivers who suspect a child has lice should consult with a school nurse or a pediatrician. Studies show that many children are treated for head lice with home remedies or nonprescription medications when they didn’t even have lice. Dandruff, residue from hair products, scabs, or even dirt can be mistaken for lice.
HOW CAN HEAD LICE BE PREVENTED?
The most common way to contract
head lice is through head-to-head contact. Children should avoid head contact during play and other activities at school and home. Although transmission through shared brushes, combs, towels, hats, and clothing is less common, it is still possible, so sharing of these items should be discouraged.
The CDC says using a hot water cycle in the laundry and the high heat drying cycle can kill head lice on clothing and other items. Seal items
that cannot be washed in a plastic bag and store them for two weeks.
Vacuum the floor and furniture to remove any nits or lice that have fallen off the head. Fumigant sprays or fogs, which can be toxic if inhaled, are not necessary to control head lice, indicates the CDC.
A new school year may compel families to think about lice. Although lice is a nuisance, infestations can be treated. TF249280

Signs of ADHD in children
Rates of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among children are high. A 2022 survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than 11 percent of children between the ages of three and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. Though ADHD is slightly less common among youngsters in Canada, affecting between 5 and 7 percent of the nation’s children according to the Centre for ADHD Awareness, Canada, it’s still considered one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in the country.
The name alone sheds light on the potential impact ADHD can have on students’ academic performance. Children who struggle to remain attentive and/or sit still are likely to have problems in a traditional classroom setting. But students and their families are not helpless against ADHD. The first step parents can take is to learn the warning signs of ADHD in children. The United Kingdom-based National Health Service reports that symptoms of ADHD can be categorized into two types of behaviorial problems: inattentiveness and hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
INATTENTIVENESS
Inattentiveness is marked by difficulty concentrating and focusing. Children experiencing inattentiveness as a byproduct of ADHD may exhibit the following symptoms:
• A short attention span and being easily distracted
• A tendency to make careless mistakes in schoolwork or when engaging in other tasks
• Forgetfulness and a propensity to lose things
• An inability to continue performing tasks that are tedious or time-consuming
• Difficulty listening to or carrying out instructions
• Constant pivoting between activities or tasks
• Difficulty organizing tasks
HYPERACTIVITY AND IMPULSIVENESS
Symptoms that fall under the category of hyperactivity and impulsiveness can adversely affect academic performance and also lead to difficulties with social interaction with other children and adults. Such symptoms may include:
• An inability to sit still, especially in
calm or quiet surroundings, such as a classroom
• Constant fidgeting
• An inability to concentrate on tasks
• Excessive physical movement
• Excessive talking
• An inability to wait one’s turn
• Acting without thinking
• Interrupting conversations
• Little or no sense of danger
Parents who suspect their child has ADHD are urged to speak with the child’s physician before drawing any
conclusions. Many youngsters, particularly those experiencing classroom settings or other disciplined, highly structured environments for the first time, may exhibit some of the aforementioned symptoms but not have ADHD. A frank discussion with the child’s physician can help parents determine if their child is exhibiting typical childhood behaviors or perhaps showing signs of ADHD. More information about ADHD is available at cdc.gov, www.nhs.uk and caddac. ca. TF249274

Issues that can arise from poor dental hygiene
The importance of maintaining dental hygiene is emphasized from the time most people are small children. Indeed, parents start early by cleaning kids’ teeth the moment the first one pushes its way through a baby’s gums, and that hopefully kick-starts a lifelong devotion to dental care.
Appearance may be the main reason why many people prioritize dental hygiene, and few things set as strong an impression as a set of pearly whites. But health is another notable reason to make dental hygiene a priority. It goes without saying that dental health is adversely affected by poor dental hygiene habits, but the rest of the body also can suffer when individuals don’t take time to care for their teeth.
• Cardiovascular disease: The American Academy for Oral & Systemic Health reports that poor dental hygiene and inflammation of the arteries are directly linked. That’s because bacteria from the mouth enters the bloodstream and causes the arteries to harden, thus increasing a person’s risk for stroke or heart attack. The AAOSH also notes that poor oral health has been linked to high blood pressure and elevated levels of “bad” cholesterol, each of which pose a threat to cardiovascular health.
• Diabetes: The American Diabetes Association notes that periodontal disease causes inflammation in the gums. That’s a notable link, as the ADA points out that inflammation in the body can cause high blood sugar levels, which is a known risk factor for diabetes. Simple oral hygiene practices like daily brushing and flossing can protect against gum disease that can increase the risk for diabetes.
• High-risk pregnancy: Women should know that taking care of their teeth
could be a notable way to protect their unborn children. A 2021 study published in the journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth found that periodontal disease is strongly associated with premature birth. Authors of the study note that premature birth is associated with a host of negative outcomes, including perinatal mortality, immature lung development, reduced feeding ability, and inferior weight gain.
• Respiratory issues: The mouth is vulnerable to bacteria growth, which is one reason why daily measures like brushing and flossing are so important.
The AAOSH notes that once bacteria reaches the lungs, an individual’s risk for infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other respiratory issues increases.
Dental hygiene practices like brushing and flossing are simple measures, but they can have a profound effect on individuals’ overall health. TF24A347

FOOTBALL: ERIE-PROPHETSTOWN 41, HALL-PC 7
E-P jumps on Red Devils early
Panthers play Newman in Week 3, Red Devils come home to face Mendota
By BRANDON LaCHANCE
Shaw Local News Network correspondent
PROPHETSTOWN – The Hall-Putnam County football team found its back against the wall quickly in its Week 2 contest against Erie-Prophetstown in a Three Rivers Conference crossover Friday.
The Panthers scored first and scored six touchdowns in total before the Red Devils were able to erase their goose egg from the scoreboard.
With 2:43 left in the game, Hall-PC junior Braden Curran capped off a 13-play, 67-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown run to make the final score 41-7 in E-P’s favor.
“I challenged them that they couldn’t quit. We couldn’t just go out there and quit,” Red Devils’ first-year coach Logan Larson said. “Defensively, we competed the entire game. E-P didn’t hit any big plays. They just drove the ball down the field and we couldn’t get off of the field on third down. They were just getting those extra couple of yards that we have to eliminate. They stayed right on schedule with second-and-7 or third-and-3, and then it’s hard to stop anybody in three yards.
“Offensively, our backup fullback, Jonathon Stunkel, ran the ball really well. We have to find a way to get quarterback Dylan Glynn going. I thought he ran the ball hard and he had a really good night defensively. I was really proud with the way we competed at the end.
“There was no quit. That’s the way it has to be. We have to keep going.”
The Panthers (2-0) scored with 2:56 left in the first quarter against Hall-PC (0-2) on a 24-yard quarterback keeper by junior Keegan Winckler, who finished the game with 15 carries for 158 yards and two touchdowns on the ground and completed 4-of-5 passing attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown for a total of 214 yards and three scores.
E-P scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 28-0 lead into halftime.
Junior Max Milem ran in a 35-yard score, Winckler found junior Gaven Adams for a 39-yard TD strike and senior Demetree Larsen (13 carries, 87 yards) found the end zone on a 3-yard carry.
“We really thought our quarterback, Keegan, could have a great game running the ball with the way the Red Devils play defense,” Panthers coach Tyler Whitebread said. “Our offensive line did a good job kicking defensive ends out. The fakes by Keegan were executed. Throughout the week, we started to see the progression, so it was nice to come on the field and make it happen when it matters.
“One thing I was curious to see was how quick our junior group (17 juniors are on the team) would be able to play at the varsity level. It’s a whole new speed. They’ve done well. With the couple of seniors that are back and are being leaders in the locker room and on the field, as well as a couple of sophomores that are making an impact, it’s really coming from all over the field.”
E-P scored a touchdown in the third quarter on a 1-yard carry from sophomore Tristan Hovey and Winckler put the finishing touches on the Panthers’
scoring with a 13-yard keeper with 11:53 left.
The Panthers host Three Rivers Rock division opponent Newman in Week 3 to try to stay undefeated.
“No disrespect to Kewanee or the Red Devils, but we were hoping we were going to be in this position. I think every coach wants to say that,” Whitebread said. “You want to win the
early ones before you get into conference play. Right now, we’re playing some good football and gaining momentum, which is key when we go against some conference schools that are notorious for being at the top of the conference.”
Hall-Putnam County is playing host to Three Rivers Mississippi rival Mendota in Week 3.
