Announcing the 2015 Women of Distinction After much deliberation by the judges ... and many miles traveled to notify the winners, Illinois Valley Living magazine and the Bureau County Republican, Putnam County Record and the Tonica News are proud to announce the 2015 Women of Distinction. Receiving the honors this year are six ladies from the Illinois Valley. They include: • Linda C. Gustafson of Princeton. • Kathy Jo Lindner of LaSalle. • Betty Jean Pappas of LaSalle. • Sen. Sue Rezin of Morris. • Denise Etscheid Sabotta of LaSalle. • Janice Wamhoff of Princeton.
As in the previous two years of this award, the winners were selected by former Women of Distinction Award winners. Illinois Valley Living received nearly 40 nominations this year. The judges clearly had their work cut out for them, as they read and reread each nomination received for deserving women throughout the Illinois Valley. The judges made their selections using a number system. The numbers were then tallied, and the aforementioned women collectively received the highest totals from the judges. “This was very difficult,” said one of the judges. “Every nomination was deserving. I had a really hard time selecting my winners, but the women I didn’t select
weren’t losers. Each lady brought so many attributes to the table. I guess it’s not a bad thing that it was so difficult to choose. That just means there are many, many dedicated women in the Illinois Valley.” All of the 2015 Women of Distinction winners — as well as all women in general — will be honored at a luncheon set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens in rural Princeton. The facility is located at 22937 County Road 1140 North. The event includes the keynote speaker, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan; a catered luncheon; an

Welcome Attorney General Lisa Madigan Madigan: Illinois’ first female Attorney General understands her position as a role model Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has served as the state of Illinois’ top attorney for more than 12 years. She is the first woman to hold the office in Illinois, plus the longest serving Attorney General in Illinois history. Illinois Valley Living magazine, the Bureau County Republican, the Putnam County Record and the Tonica News are happy to announce Madigan has confirmed she will be the keynote speaker at the annual Women of Distinc-
tion Award luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 15. Growing up in Chicago, Madigan and her husband, Pat Byrnes, and their two daughters still reside in the Windy City. She has three main offices in Chicago, Springfield and Carbondale, along with regional offices in Rockford, Quincy, Urbana, Belleville and on the south and west sides of Chicago. Madigan attended Georgetown University and received a bachelor’s degree in 1988. She earned her law degree from Loyola Univer-
sity Chicago in 1994. As Attorney General, Madigan’s main responsibilities are to serve as the lawyer for the state and people of Illinois. She runs the fourth largest law firm in the state and employs more than 350 lawyers. Madigan has the responsibility, in and out of court, to advocate for consumers, protect children, safeguard the environment, enforce open government laws and fight for the rights of Illinois’ most vulnerable residents, including seniors, people with disabilities, and members of the military, veterans and their families. During Madigan’s time in office, she has recovered more than $11 billion, and in 2014 alone, collected
more than $1.3 billion for the state. In addition, she has brought in nearly $3 billion in relief for homeowners, communities and pension funds to recover from the devastating impacts of the mortgage foreclosure crisis. When it comes to career highlights, Madigan said, “I always say that one of the best aspects of my position is that there’s never a dull moment. So there are a lot of highlights, but I’ll limit it to the first three I think of. “Early on, I represented the state in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and won. Along with lawyers with the U.S. Department of Justice, I was a lead negotiator in a

Build it and they will come
GRANVILLE — Darrell Alleman realized a dream last year when a crowd of hundreds showed up at his baseball field that sits next to his rural Granville home for his first “Field of Dreams” event. He’s hoping the second annual event, which will be at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, at his baseball diamond, located at 11915 E. 1250 St., will
As a young boy, Darrell attended a country school where no baseball was played. When he reached high school, he would have loved to join the team but figured he was too far behind, since many of his friends had been playing for some time. Instead, as a freshman and sophomore, he watched from the stands, cheering on

his friends. During his junior and senior years, he found a way to be involved by keeping score for the team. One of his biggest regrets in life, he says, is that he never joined a baseball team. “I never got a uniform, so I always dreamed I could have a uniform,” he said. “After I was out (of high school), I thought, ‘Why didn’t I even try?’” Determined not to let his own sons have any regrets about unexplored talents, he often played catch with them. “I made sure they played ball,” he said.

The work paid off — both of his sons’ high school teams made it to state in baseball. Darrell toyed with the idea of having his own baseball diamond for years before it finally came to fruition. The greatest love of his life, his wife, Jeanne, encouraged him to realize his dream of a diamond. She also enjoyed baseball, and as a former teacher, she deeply loved being around children. She knew if they had a baseball diamond it meant children, including their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, would be around more frequently, Darrell said. Once the diamond was finished, Darrell and Jeanne wanted children to use it and enjoy it. They allowed Little League and T-ball teams to play there, and Darrell came up with another plan to get more people to the diamond. “About a year and a half ago, Darrell, who has been a very actively involved member of Putnam County Rotary since the mid-1970s, mentioned to the club that he would like to have an event at Alleman Field for all the children of Putnam County to attend,” Scott Shore, friend and fellow member of the Putnam County Rotary, said. “And the club responded that it sounded like a great idea.
“He elaborated that he might be able to get one of the original players of the movie ‘Field of Dreams’ to attend, and he had our club’s full support in making that effort,” Shore said. “He further elaborated on what he envisioned as a celebration of baseball, with parent-child activities, games and a showing of the movie ‘Field of Dreams’ on a huge screen on the ball field after dusk, and we saw that this wasn’t just an idea, it was a dream taking shape. “He suggested that we could print a program, and we agreed that would be a great idea – and then Darrell pulled out from his shirt pocket, where he keeps his very full pocket calendar, some thoughts on what should be in the program, and we saw that to Darrell it wasn’t just an idea and a dream, but a plan – and that Darrell had done his homework.” On Aug. 8, 2014, Alleman’s “Field of Dreams” night brought in a crowd, and as Darrell envisioned, Frank Dardis, one of the 1919 White Sox ghost players from the “Field of Dreams” movie attended. But to Darrell’s surprise, Dardis brought seven other ghost players with him. “Their presentation to Darrell and Jeanne, commemorating Alleman Field as an official ‘Field of

Dreams’ was a moment for all to remember, and the fun they had with the children on the ball diamond and while taking pictures and signing autographs was enjoyed by all,” Shore said. Darrell and Jeanne were thrilled with the turnout at their event. “We were surprised. We didn’t know if anybody would come,” Darrell said. “They say if you build it, they will come. That part is true.” As the second “Field of Dreams” event approach-
es, Darrell frequently thinks of his wife, Jeanne, who passed away in April after they had enjoyed 64 years of marriage, and knows she would be pleased the event is happening once again. Sponsored by the Alleman family, Putnam County Rotary and other businesses and individuals, this free event will again feature Frank Dardis and other ghost players. Also included in the program will be parent-child ball activities, autographs and photos with the players and an out-

and quite surprised to learn they had won. I think everybody is going to enjoy meeting these fabulous women. “Also, I am beyond excited to have Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan be our keynote speaker this year,” Simon continued. “Not only is she a great role model for women, she has worked tirelessly for the benefit of all Illinois citizens. “It’s going to be a day to remember. I hope you’ll join us in celebrating the women of the Illinois Valley and beyond who have truly made a difference in the lives of others,” Simon said.

America’s Farmers to award $3.3 million
America’s Farmers Grow Communities will partner again with farmers to award more than $3.3 million to community non-profits across the country. In Illinois, 97 organizations will receive donations in 2016. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program’s purpose is to make a positive impact in rural communities by giving farmers a chance to direct $2,500 donations to eligible non-profit organizations of their choice. Farmer enrollment for Grow Communities kicked off on Aug. 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Since the program’s inception, farmers have directed donations to help fire departments purchase equipment and complete training, send FFA and 4-H groups to contests and conventions, provide food pantries with meals to serve those in need and boost agriculture curriculum in rural school districts. Other beneficiaries of the program have included health care organizations, youth and community centers, state parks and economic development programs, among many others. “Thanks to the participation of farmers from across the country, more than 7,000 non-profit organizations have received donations through Grow Communities in

Follow Grow Communities’ new Facebook page to learn more about the program and connect with past winners at facebook.com/AmericasFarmersGrowCommunities. America’s Farmers Grow Communities is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. Today, consumers are more interested than ever in agriculture and how food is grown. Farmers and others in the industry are joining in on the conversation to help raise awareness about agriculture and share their stories with their communities. Learn more at cfiengage.org.
ry,” Madigan said. Madigan said she doesn’t spend much time focusing on the fact that she is Illinois’ first Attorney General, however, she is often reminded that she does serve as a role model, especially for young girls who aspire to become a lawyer or run for elected office. “Over the years, a large number of parents have brought their daughters to events or my office just to meet me to show them what
girls can do. It’s always fun to talk to them and encourage them along with all the law students, college students and high school students who want to pursue public service careers,” Madigan said. Madigan will address the crowd at this year’s Women of Distinction Awards luncheon. See the accompanying story for details on tickets and activities during this special event to honor area women.
Illinois has cool, dry August CHAMPAIGN — August was cool across the state and dry in most places in Illinois, capping off a summer that was cool and wet, according to Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel, Illinois State Water Survey, University of Illinois. The statewide average precipitation for August in Illinois was 2.95 inches, 0.64 inches below average. However, this was followed by a very wet
June with 9.44 inches, and a wet July with 4.84 inches. As a result, the summer precipitation total was 17.23 inches, or 5.36 inches above average and the sixth wettest summer on record. The wettest summer on record was in 1993 with 18.51 inches of rain. The precipitation for August was unevenly distributed, which is typical in the summer months. Amounts of 3 to 5 inches
were common in Northern Illinois and points east of St. Louis. The statewide average temperature for Illinois in August was 72.0 degrees, 1.6 degrees below average and the 32nd coolest August on record. The statewide average temperature for the summer (June, July and August) was 72.6 degrees, 1.3 degrees below average and the 36th coolest on record.

PERU — Phase 2 of the St. Bede Gateway Arch, a gift to St. Bede last year from the members from the Class of 1964 has been completed. The addition to the Gateway Arch now includes a brick circular patio with flushed recessed lighting surrounding the arch, so it may be seen at night as well as day. After the dedication at homecoming last year, discussion began with the classmates of 1964 about adding lights to the arch. One of the classmates, Paul Robich, an architect from California stated, “We really need to add lights to the arch to make the project complete.” It didn’t take long for the Class of ’64 to make the decision to begin Phase 2 and add to their class gift by funding the cost of the lighting project for the arch. Almost a year to the day of the groundbreaking for the arch last June, the bricks arrived on campus,

and the arch was lit for the first time this week. Eager to see the completed project, many members of the Class of ’64, who celebrated their 50th reunion last year, plan to return to St. Bede at homecoming the week-
end of Oct. 2-4 to see the “Arch in lights.” The arch was a welcoming symbol of St. Bede Academy for most of the first 65 years of the school’s existence. Around 1961, when the lane was widened and
more parking was provided, the brick columns were removed. The arch returned to campus and was completed last September and now extends over the sidewalk at the north entrance to the school.

Annual fundraiser for Charles Perdew Museum Association
Changes to whole farm revenue insurance could increase access
HENRY — The Charles Perdew Museum Organization, which is dedicated to preserving the memory of famed decoy carver and Henry resident Charles Perdew, will have an annual fundraising dinner and auction on Saturday, Sept. 19,

Annual Walk for the Mind announces honorary chair PEORIA – Eric “Hoovey” Elliott was named the honorary chair at the 2015 Mark Linder Walk for the Mind. Elliott, a Central Illinois native is a brain tumor survivor, who was the subject of the book “Rebounding from Death’s Door” and the subsequent movie, “Hoovie.” Elliott’s story is one of survival and courage shown both by him and his family during his recovery from brain surgery. The 13th annual Mark Linder Walk for the Mind is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Peoria RiverPlex. Named for Mark Linder, a Peoria native who was in his 20s when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Linder’s goal was to create a place where brain tumor survivors could support one another. In 2003, Linder founded the Walk for the Mind to help raise money for brain tumor research in hopes of finding a cure. To register for the walk, or for more information, vista www.marklinderwalkforthemind.org. This is the fourth year all net proceeds will be donated to the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria for brain cancer research.
USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) recently announced expansion of Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) crop insurance to all states and counties. WFRP was first made available for the 2015 crop year, and provides revenue insurance coverage on all of a farmer’s crops and animals under one policy. The policy was previously limited to certain states and counties. In addition, USDA RMA made some other key changes to the policy that will help break down barriers to access for beginning farmers, integrated crop and livestock producers, and for those who direct market their farm products. Beginning farmers now only have to show three years of tax records to qualify for WFRP. Previously they had to show five years of records to qualify. This is a positive change that we hope will open the policy to more beginning farmers. Another important change includes the elimination of the 35 percent limit on expected revenue from animals and animal products, and greenhouse and nursery crops. RMA will leave intact the $1 million cap on revenue from these sources. This is one of the biggest barriers integrated crop and livestock farmers had to accessing WFRP. Farmers who sell through direct markets will now be allowed to use their existing price records to calculate their revenue during the insurance year. Previously, farmers had to prove their revenue through third-party verified records, which is difficult if not impossible for those farmers who market directly through roadside stands and farmers’ markets.

Medicare changes program at LaSalle Library LASALLE — On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the LaSalle Public Library will host an informational Medicare workshop. Mary Hallock from Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois will present the most current details about Medicare Parts A, B and D. In this educational workshop, the audience will learn about the most recent changes to these important programs. Every year, Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans change – sometimes with little impact for most people, but other times,
dramatically. To simply “choose the same plan as last year” often is not the best option. Even more important, as an individual’s healthcare needs change, certain plans may offer more cost-effective options and benefits than other plans. Informed consumers will be better able to make sound choices among healthcare coverage plans. This program is structured to answer audience questions and is not a sales presentation.

Bayeux Tapestry presentation will be Sept. 15 at LaSalle Library LASALLE — On Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m., the LaSalle Public Library will host historian Cathy Grafton who will present “Threads of History: the Bayeux Tapestry.” Cathy Grafton has studied the Bayeux Tapestry since she was in grade school. The celebrated Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the Battle of Hastings in 1066, is both an account of a turning point in European history and an intricate and extraordinary work of art. Its creation is shrouded in mystery. Its size, scope and detail, depicted entirely in stitchery underscores
the incredible story of its survival through times of trouble and fame, over the centuries. Grafton has traveled to Bayeux, France, on 15 occasions to study this magnificent embroidery. She is a needle worker herself, and has learned the unique Bayeux stitch, and has replicated portions of the stitching as a way of understanding the work of the artisans and storytellers who preserved the historic moment. Her presentation begins with the story of Harold and William the Conqueror, as represented on the tapestry, and includes the history of
the tapestry’s survival, and her insights into the mystery of its creation. Cathy Grafton holds a bachelor of arts from Knox College in American studies. This program is free and open to the public, and is possible through funding from the Alwin C. Carus Trust. The library is located at 305 Marquette St., LaSalle, and is Americans with Disabilities compliant and welcoming. Those who wish to attend the event and have special needs because of a disability should contact Donna Blomquist at 815-223-2341 to discuss arrangements.
Help restore olio curtain at IVCC OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College, working with Curtains Without Borders, is seeking volunteer help with the restoration of the olio curtain it received from Ladd Public Library. The Curtains Without Borders team will arrive Sunday, Sept. 13, and work Monday through Thursday on the restoration of the olio as well as on another olio that was
purchased for the spring musical, “Sugar Babies.” Volunteers are sought to assist the professional team in two shifts, morning and afternoon, Sept. 14 through 17. Students, community members, theater enthusiasts or history buffs are welcome. “An opportunity like this is rare outside of the museum industry, and if you’d like to contribute your time and literally
touch history, this is your chance,” said IVCC director/choreographer Don Grant Zellmer. Once the curtain is restored, it will be mounted permanently in the Cultural Centre. Olio curtains are antique backdrops that were frequently used in Vaudeville theatres throughout the United States from around 1910. To volunteer, email don_zellmer@ivcc.edu.
Tonica Baseball Association to meet TONICA — The Tonica Baseball Association will meet at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, in the town hall.
