Trace Adkins to headline annual country concert Aug. 21 in Princeton
Brushville to perform as special guest
By DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@shawmedia.com
Country music star Trace Adkins is coming to Princeton in August.
Adkins has been booked to perform in the annual country concert at the Bureau County Fairgrounds. He will be joined by Brushville.
The concert featuring Trace Adkins with special guest Brushville will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, at the Bureau County Fair in Princeton. Online ticket sales begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14. All tickets will be sold online at www.bureaucountyfair.com. The 170th Bureau County Fair will be Aug. 20-24.
In Adkins’ storied career in country music, he has sold more than 11 million albums, charted 40 singles on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart, earned numerous awards, multiple Grammy
nominations and garnered more than 2 billion streams.
A Grand Ole Opry member for two decades, the Louisiana native is known for his dynamic baritone, fiery live performance and roles as an actor in film and TV. Since his 1996 breakout debut “Dreamin’ Out Loud,” he delivered smashes, such as “Every Light In The House,” which hit Top 5 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 “This Ain’t (No Thinkin’ Thing).”
Adkins has pioneered a mix of classic country minded traditionalism and adventurous, good-natured showmanship, breaking open new avenues in modern country through fun-filled hits like “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and “Hillbilly Bone” with Blake Shelton.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut with 2021’s release “The Way I Wanna Go” (Verge Records), the 25-song album has been applauded by Billboard as “a creative tour de force that serves up the lyrical and stylistic diversity that would make his hero [Ronnie] Milsap proud,” with Rolling Stone calling it “lighthearted club-ready fun…,” and People praising it as “packed to the hilt with hits.” From traditional balladry to clever country party anthems, the Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George
produced project features special guests Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Melissa Etheridge, Pitbull, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder on harmonica and more. Adkins is on tour playing headline shows spanning coast to coast throughout the year.

President’s gesture ‘spoke of hope’
IVCC arranges graduation for student amid champions’ health struggle
By PEGGY SCHNEIDER Shaw Local News Network correspondent
While most guys his age are nailing down job references or securing endorsements for college applications, Jonathan Hammond is asking for access to a drug that could save his life.
The 29-year-old from Peru is circulating an online petition in support of his quest for Imlifidase, a drug that would suppress an overreactive immune system so his body could accept a new kidney. Without the drug, the chances of finding an organ that his body will not reject are slim, leaving him dependent on dialysis treatment.
Not long ago, Hammond was working full time, but his health declined this past year and he stopped working. He tires easily, so he does not enjoy activities such as cooking or playing piano like he used to.
“The simple stuff – getting up and making a small breakfast – takes a lot out of me,” he said.
His health shattered his plans to graduate with his Illinois Valley Community College class this past spring. But what hurt more than being over-

was that he felt like he broke a promise to IVCC President Tracy Morris.
“I did not want you to think I didn’t fulfill my end of the bargain,” he would apologize in an email to her later.
Hammond met Morris at her investiture, and after the ceremony, she invited him into one of her famous selfies.
“Let’s take one now and another on graduation day,” she said.
He remembers the impact her speech and personality had on him that day.
“I felt so much hope and inspiration,” he said.
After the graduation day plan fell through, and when Hammond was feeling better, Morris arranged a mini graduation ceremony for him. They posed for another selfie, she in her regalia and he in his cap and gown. Hammond still chokes up thinking of the gesture.
“My mom and my friends got to come,” he said. “That little interaction spoke of hope.”

A chronic illness threatened to derail Jonathan Hammond’s graduation hopes, but encouragement and support from Illinois Valley Community College faculty and staff propelled him to his academic goal. Recently, a thoughtful gesture from President Tracy Morris (pictured, with Hammond) particularly inspired hope and optimism as they celebrated his accomplishment.
Veterans honored at Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony in Peru

A crowd gathered on the banks of the Illinois River Saturday morning for a memorial service in Peru to honor the lives lost and survivors during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Following a parade along River Road, the ceremony began with a flag-raising by the Illinois Valley Honor Guard, followed by a performance from the Peru Municipal Band.
Dennis Znaniecki, commander of both the Peru Veterans Memorial Group and American Legion, led the event at the Peru River Rescue Station, continuing a tradition he has upheld for nearly two decades.
After taking the podium first, Znaniecki said how he made a promise to his late friend, Hank Ellerbrock, a Pearl Harbor survivor, to carry on Peru’s annual observance of the attack, with this year’s event marking the 83rd anniversary.
“We always said, ‘Remember what happened, or it’s going to happen again,’” Znaniecki said. “It’s essential that we do this to keep this memory alive, especially for the future generations.”
Znaniecki also paid tribute to Jerry Welch, a former American Legion commander who passed away earlier this year.
“Jerry’s talent for craftsmanship and dedication to this community will be sorely missed,” Znaniecki said.
Krista Hammers, La Salle County Veterans Assistance Commission superintendent and former U.S. Air Force veteran, delivered the keynote address.
Hammers honored the service and sacrifices of the many who fought during and after Pearl Harbor, including the contributions of the Women Airforce Service Pilots.
“One of my personal heroes, Cornelia Fort, witnessed the attack from the skies that day,” Hammers said. “She safely landed her plane and later became a member of the WASP program, proving that heroism and dedication to this country comes in all forms.”
Hammers emphasized the ongoing struggles of female veterans, noting many women who served during World War II were not recognized for their contributions until decades later.
“Their sacrifice was for a cause, not for conquest, but for a world that would be saved for future generations,” she said.
After the speakers had their time, there was a roll call for Pearl Harbor survivors and veterans, with attendees getting the opportunity to share stories of loved ones who had served at Pearl Harbor or other battles in history.
The event concluded with a rifle salute, the laying of a wreath in honor of those who gave their lives in service and a flyover by World War II-era planes in a missing man formation.
For Znaniecki, the ceremony was a reminder of the importance of preserving the legacy of past wars and ensuring that future generations understand the sacrifices made for the freedoms they enjoy today.
“We’re here today to remember not just the date, but the people – those who served and sacrificed for our country.”

Such pleas to bypass the FDA’s lengthy trial process usually come after all other options have been exhausted.

What to know about seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
There’s much to look forward to when winter begins. Outdoor enthusiasts may relish a return to the slopes to ski or snowboard each winter, while others praise the crisp fresh air and lack of insects as more conducive to activities like hiking.
Winter indeed has plenty to offer, but some people find that less daylight has an adverse effect on their mood.
The National Institutes of Mental Health notes that shifts in mood and behavior that align with changes in the seasons could be indicative of seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD.
WHAT IS SAD?
Johns Hopkins Medicine characterizes SAD as a form of depression in which individuals’ mood and behavior changes when the seasons change.
The NIMH notes SAD is sometimes referred to as the “winter blues.”
IS SAD EXCLUSIVE TO WINTER?
Though SAD can affect people at any time of year, the NIMH reports that most cases of SAD start to affect people in late fall or early winter before symptoms begin to subside during the spring and summer. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes researchers believe the shorter days and thus fewer hours of
daylight that occur each winter set off a chemical change in the brain that leads to a person experiencing symptoms of depression.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SAD?
The NIMH points out that, since SAD is a type of depression, symptoms of the condition include those associated with depression. Such symptoms include:
• A persistent sad, anxious or “empty” mood most of the day. This occurs every day for at least two weeks.
• Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism
• Feelings of irritability, frustration or restlessness
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
• Loss of energy or feelings of fatigue. Some also feel as if they have slowed down.
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
• Changes in sleep or appetite or unplanned weight changes
• Physical aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that have no explanation and do not subside even after treatment
• Suicidal thoughts or attempts or
thoughts about death
It’s important to note that the above are symptoms of depression that people with SAD may experience. Additional symptoms of winter-pattern SAD include:
• Hypersomnia, or oversleeping
• Overeating that leads to weight gain. The NIMH notes people with SAD may have a particular craving for carbohydrates.
• Social withdrawal
HOW IS SAD TREATED?
People who suspect they have SAD are urged to speak with their physicians. Various treatments, including
light therapy, psychotherapy or antidepressant medications, can help to treat SAD. Individuals may also be prescribed vitamin D supplements.
CAN I PREVENT SAD?
The NIMH notes that since SAD is tied to seasonal changes, people can take steps in an effort to prevent it. Starting treatments prior to a change in seasons may help.
Many people experience difficulty when fall transitions to winter, and such troubles may be attributable to SAD. More information about SAD is available at www.nimh.nih.gov.

Why handwashing is so important and
Winter is historically marked by an increase in people getting sick. That’s because certain conditions common to winter can make it easier for infectious agents to spread. Handwashing becomes even more essential as winter rears its chilly head. Northwestern Medicine says the body is not as effective at fighting a virus when cold air enters the nose and upper airways. That means the flu, common cold and even COVID-19 can spread more easily in the winter. Also, people tend to huddle indoors where it is warm when the mercury outside drops. That puts people in closer contact with others who may be harboring these vi ruses or other infectious diseases in their bodies. Individuals often get less exposure to sunlight during the winter, which can adversely affect their natural production of vitamin D. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to a weakened immune sys tem, which can make fighting illnesses more difficult.
tion to the viruses mentioned above, people can become ill from exposure to even small amounts of feces from people or animals, which can contain Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus. It also may spread some respiratory infections like adenovirus and handfoot-mouth disease. These germs can get onto hands after people use the toilet or change a diaper, but also after handling raw meats that have minute amounts of animal feces on them.
The Cleveland Clinic advises that a person can prevent one in three illnesses that cause diarrhea and one in five respiratory infections simply by keeping hands clean. Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to objects like tabletops, door handles and even foods and beverages, which underscores the significance of handwashing.
The best way to wash hands involves some easy steps.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says handwashing is an important step in staying healthy all year long, and especially during the winter when conditions are ripe for the spread of disease. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean running water. The CDC says that, in addi-
1. You should wash your hands frequently, and especially after using the toilet; changing diapers; before, during and after preparing food; before eating; before touching your nose, eyes or mouth (including handling dentures or orthodontic aligners); after sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose; and when you arrive home from shopping or being in high-traffic public areas.
2. Wet your hands with clean, running water and use soap if it is available. Any soap will do. Antibacterial products are not essential.
3. Lather up for about 20 seconds, says Nemours KidsHealth, and make sure to get in between fingers, on the back of hands and under the nails where germs like to linger. Don’t forget to also wash the wrists.
4. If possible, remove rings and
watches before washing hands, or try to at least move the rings to wash under them.
5. Rinse hands well under running water to remove all traces of soap.
6. Dry hands using a clean towel or air dry them. It is best to use paper towels or a single-use cloth towel.
7. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door in public restrooms. People at home should routinely wipe down faucets and handles with cleansing products to remove germs from these high-touch points. Frequent laundering of towels also can be effective. TF24C520

BEARS 3 AND OUT
The Bears didn’t get any bump from interim head coach Thomas Brown on Sunday as they lost their seventh straight game, this time a 38-13 blowout to the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, Calif. Here’s what you need to know.
Three moments that mattered
1
Blown momentum: The Bears seemed like they grabbed some momentum in the second half, but whatever momentum they had disappeared on a costly turnover. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams fumbled during the team’s second drive of the half, his first since Week 7 against the Commanders. The 49ers scored on their next drive, taking a 31-6 lead when Isaac Guerendo rushed in for a 4-yard TD run at the start of the fourth quarter.
2
Getting on board: After a disastrous first half where nothing worked, the Bears offense got on scoreboard with its opening drive of the second half. The Bears had a well-balanced drive and used 16 plays to go 70 yards down the field. The offense broke up the shutout when Williams completed a 4-yard pass to the corner of the end zone, where rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze adjusted mid-catch to make sure he was in-bounds.
3
Setting the tone: The 49ers left little doubt that Sunday would be a long day for the Bears after a dominant opening drive. They only needed five plays to drive 70 yards, with quarterback Brock Purdy completing all five of his pass attempts. Purdy completed two plays for more than 20 yards and got his team on the scoreboard when he completed a 7-yard pass to Jauan Jennings with 12:25 left in the first quarter.
Three things that worked
1
Rookie connection: The Bears’ top-two draft selections from this April’s draft continued to build their bond Sunday. Williams found Odunze for the team’s first touchdown in the second half and then connected with his fellow rookie again in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard touchdown pass with 11:48 left in the game. Odunze caught four passes for 42 yards.
2
Keeping the streak alive: Sunday was a tough day for the Bears defense, but the unit did create at least one turnover for a sixth straight game. Safety Jonathan Owens intercepted his second career pass when he picked off Purdy late in the game. The Bears have now forced at least one turnover in all but one game this season.
3
What a boot: Rookie punter Tory Taylor had his number called plenty Sunday and came through for the Bears. Taylor punted six times and averaged 49 yards per punt, with three punts for 58 yards or more. He entered the game averaging 48.3 yards per punt, which was 13th-best average in the NFL.
Three things that didn’t
1
Brutal start: The Bears put together some of the worst first half numbers of the season. The offense ran 17 plays in the first half and gained 4 yards, picking up one first down. Running back D’Andre Swift had 7 rushing yards while Williams threw for -3 yards. The unit went 0 for 5 on third down and averaged .2 yards per play.
2
Giving up explosive plays: Despite the change in defensive play caller with defensive coordinator Eric Washington taking over for former head coach Matt Eberflus, the Bears continued its struggles of allowing explosive plays. The 49ers averaged 7.4 yards per play, with tight end George Kittle making plenty of big-yard plays. He caught five passes for 15 yards or more and finished with 151 receiving yards.
3 Protecting Williams: Some of the offensive struggles in the first half was a result of the Bears failing to protect Williams. The 49ers sacked Williams seven times, including five times on third down. The Bears allowed the second-most sacks this season heading into Sunday’s game and Willams has now been sacked 56 times.
What’s next?
The Bears travel to Minneapolis to play the Vikings in front of a national audience Monday, Dec. 16. –MichalDwojak–mdwojak@shawmedia.com
