Marquis Energy hits 1 billion gallon milestone By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
HENNEPIN — Since April 20, 2008, Marquis Energy has been producing ethanol in Putnam County. Seven and one-half years later, through the continuous enhancement of their production method, the team at Marquis Energy — approximately 150 people, reached the milestone of having produced one billion gallons of ethanol. Everyone knows it’s an ethanol plant and has seen the endless parade of trucks traveling to and from the
facility or the barges regularly working their way down the river, but what about having an understanding of what actually happens there? Marquis Energy produces more than just ethanol. The process of making ethanol creates additional opportunities for marketable products. They also make use of every advantage Putnam County has to offer an industry located within its borders: Easy interstate access, rail roads, the Illinois River and manpower from throughout the area.
Jeff Peterson, president and director of risk management, said, “That’s our strength here, the logistics. Being located on the Illinois River is a huge key to our success.” The process The transition from corn to ethanol begins as the corn, from as far away as 60 miles, is loaded into one of the roughly 300 to 400 trucks per day traveling into the plant. Those trucks deliver a total of 300,000-400,000 bushels of corn per day. After being weighed at the entrance, the corn is unloaded and

tation leads to increased yield and profitability. The mix enters a slurry tank for retention time to allow the enzymes time to work. The corn mash absorbs heat from the 200-degree cook water, so to maintain the optimum 185 degree temperature for the enzymes, the mixture travels through steam-powered jet heaters. The heat provides a physical process of breaking down the starch. Andy Rowe, process manager, said, “After more retention time and enzymes, an operator will
send yeast into the tank and let it grow and reproduce for about eight hours before we fill the ferment tank with the mash mixture.” Fermentation is the biological process which converts sugars into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as a result. Some ethanol plants sell the carbon dioxide to industries which have a need for it, such as beverage companies, providing the plant with another product and revenue source.

The chorus of change
Freedom House introduces community coalition to decrease abusive activity By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com
PRINCETON — If only a few people speak up against an unjust cause, they may be easily drowned out in the commotion. If many voices join together, though, the sound becomes a song that supersedes ignorance and clarifies uncertainty. Freedom House, a domestic violence shelter in Princeton, is taking a vocal stand against sexual and domestic violence. They are inviting others to join in by introducing their Voices Against Violence coalition. Melanie Whitmer, Freedom House sexual violence advocate, said the coalition is an opportunity for forward-thinking and honest discussions. “Voices Against Violence is still in the very early stages, but it will allow our community to network together and raise awareness in all five counties,” Whitmer said, noting the Freedom House serves to protect victims in Putnam, Bureau, Stark, Henry and Marshall Counties. “We’re looking for men and women who will give

directed into storage silos. The plant can store up to 2.4 million bushels, enough for approximately six to seven days worth of ethanol production. After the corn is taken out of storage, it travels by conveyor to the hammer mill where it’s ground into a flour. From there, the flour is mixed with water and enzymes to create a mash that begins the chemical process of breaking down the starch into simple sugars. This helps prepare the corn for efficient fermentation, and optimized fermen-

A person of any age or background can learn what to look for and understand what areas need work in preventing violent interactions with children, spouses, friends or strangers. “The community will be encouraged to attend, with the more people showing up the better,” Whitmer said, indicating a survey will be sent out into the community to get feedback from unique citizens about this important subject. “All professional departments might see things completely different, from health to drug use to social and economic circumstances.” The Freedom House has contacted the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, area sheriff departments, local hospitals and countless others in spreading

Mary Ann Kidd, lab technician, helps ensure Marquis Energy is producing the highest quality ethanol possible by continuously monitoring and testing samples throughout the process.
Energy From Page 1 “We don’t sell our CO2, the logistics for us to reach a viable market do not work out favorably, so we do not market it,” said Peterson. Marquis’ typical fermentation time is about two days. “You might hear in the alcoholic beverage industry of fermentation times of weeks or months, but we don’t have that kind of time. We add a lot to help it out, enzymes and yeast propagation come into play,” Rowe said. When the fermentation process is finished the mixture is typically 16 percent alcohol by weight. From one of the 16 fermentation tanks, the blend travels through three columns of distillation. Distillation is the action of purifying a liquid through a process of evaporation and condensation. “One separates the liquids from the solids, which then go to a different part of the plant. The other two columns refine the liquids into 190 proof alcohol, the most you can distill before you start to boil off too much water. To get to 200 proof (or 100 percent alcohol) we use molecular sieves. They’re big enough for water molecules, but not for ethanol. We put it under pressure, and it gets squeezed through and removes the last 5 percent of water. The water removed goes back into the distillation process. The ethanol is also denatured with gasoline to make it

unfit for consumption,” Rowe said. The separated solids are sent to the dryer building where they travel through a centrifuge. After the centrifuge the solids are a wet cake called wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS) with an approximately 60 percent moisture level and are usable as animal feed. Due to the level of moisture and chance for spoilage, the WDGS is not suitable for export and typically remains in the local area. The solids designated for export leave the centrifuge and travel through a set of three dryers, each removing more moisture. The 60 percent moisture of the WDGS is lowered to about 11 percent. These solids are called dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and are suitable for export as animal feed after an additional step. “The water that’s spun out of the centrifuges goes through a series of evaporators and basically gets boiled down to a syrup. The syrup goes through another set of centrifuges that removes the corn oil which is then sold to bio-diesel and different entities. The syrup is then added to the DDGS to make it a higher quality product rich in protein and fat. It’s a highly digestible and cost effective feed supplement for livestock,” Rowe said. The people These non-stop and complicated processes are managed and monitored continuously with a state-ofthe art control system and a surprisingly small staff considering the
size of the operation. Marquis’ production capability has recently doubled since the completion of their new south unit, essentially a mirror image of the north unit. Approximately 25 maintenance people, two lab techs, one chemist, the board operators and others work to ensure the plant runs cleanly, efficiently and is producing the highest quality products possible. Lab technician Mary Ann Kidd said, “We continuously collect various samples from throughout the plant and run various tests. We check moisture levels, sugar analysis, acid levels and more.” Process board operator Calvin Tussey jokingly began by saying he liked to call himself a 21st century moonshiner, but added more seriously, “This is one of the last, truly domestic industries left in the rust belt. I think it makes people feel good that something is expanding in the area.” The finished product The finished ethanol is delivered to one of the six storage tanks, each holding approximately a million gallons. Two of those tanks are near Marquis’ barge terminal. There are barges for both the DDGS and ethanol. Trucks drop loads of the DDGS into a hopper which feeds them up through a chute and into the barge. As ethanol is loaded into it’s barge, a flare burns off the excess vapors to ensure everyone’s safety. Marquis also delivers ethanol to the marketplace via truck and rail car. According to Bio-diesel Mag-
azine, a truck holds about 7,000 gallons, a rail car roughly 25,000 gallons and a barge is capable of holding approximately 400,000 gallons. This means each barge is the equivalent of 16 rail cars or almost 60 trucks. “We’re constantly taking product out to our barge terminal where our logistics team schedules loads. With the added production from the new facility, we’re going to have to start doing a DDGS barge about six days a week. The ethanol barges will probably be about one a day. We haven’t done a lot of rail in the past, but with the added volume, we’ll be shipping out every month on rail as well, but not as much as we do on barges,” said Rowe. With the new unit having entered production, Marquis Energy expects to be able to produce roughly 800,000 gallons per day and about 300 million gallons per year. They are looking forward to reaching the 2 billion gallon milestone by 2020. Vice President Jason Marquis said, “We are proud of the team here at Marquis energy to have produced over a billion gallons of renewable fuels throughout the past seven and a half years. This accomplishment highlights the hard work and dedication of our team which contributes to our local farm economy and also the world’s energy markets. We appreciate all of the people who have contributed to hitting this milestone and look forward to continuing our business relationships in the Central Illinois area.”

SPRING VALLEY — St. Margaret’s Health is participating in the National Rural Accountable Care Organization (ACO) – a program designed to help rural Medicare patients live long, healthy lives. St. Margaret’s Health belongs to the Illinois Rural ACO, with its other members being Morris Hospital, Pekin Hospital’s physician group called Pro Health, Fairfield Hospital (Fairfield), McDonough District Hospital (Macomb), and Graham Hospital (Canton). As part of the new program, St. Margaret’s will hire and train a care coordinator to work closely with patients – helping seniors stay healthy, get great care when needed and avoid costly and wasteful repetitive tests. St. Margaret’s will also have access to important information which will help community physicians evaluate the services of distant specialists, hospi-
tals and other health care providers to make the best recommendations for patients. Tim Muntz, president and CEO, states, “When our patients want support, they can come to us for advice and assistance. We will help them find the right health care providers, coordinate their care and help them get the best results. Our mission is to serve the community’s health care needs, and this program will help us do that better than ever.” Initially, St. Margaret ‘s will introduce these new programs for Medicare patients, but hopes to expand to other types of insurance as well. “St. Margaret’s is doing its part, but the community can play an even larger role in promoting health,” Muntz added. “As a community, we need to take responsibility for our health and for each other, and encourage each other to stop smoking, eat health-

Madigan: Hang up on phony IRS scams
Meet the Buyers event for farmers is March 22
Phone scammers posing as IRS officials attempt to con Illinois residents into sending money
Local, regional food buyers to attend GENEVA — Farmers throughout Illinois are invited to attend a Meet the Buyers event to meet local and regional food buyers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 22, at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, 273 Dearborn Court, Geneva. Meet the Buyers events are an opportunity for farmers to hear directly from buyers about what it takes to do business with their organizations. Buyers representing retail grocery stores and chains, foodservice distributors, wholesalers and others are invited to participate. “Farmers will hear from several buyers and meet with them one-on-one so they can begin building working relationships,” said Cynthia Haskins, manager of business development and compliance, Illinois Farm Bureau. “It’s an excellent opportunity for both farmers and retailers.” The following organizations are partnering to support the one-
day event: Illinois Farm Bureau, Kane County Farm Bureau, Illinois Department of Agriculture, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Illinois Specialty Growers Association, and several surrounding county Farm Bureaus and University of Illinois Extension offices. “This event is popular among farmers and buyers,” Haskins said. “More than 600 farmers have been able to link up with more than 100 decision-makers among the grocery and food service industries.” Farmers are encouraged to bring business cards and any handouts they have about their farming operation to share with buyers. The event is $15 for Farm Bureau members and $20 for nonmembers. For online registration and more information, visit www.ilfb.org and select the News and Events tab, Conferences and Events, then the March 22, 2016 Meet the Buyers Event.

In response to a recent increase in consumer complaints, Attorney General Lisa Madigan has alerted Illinois residents to a renewed phone scam in which callers pose as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials in an attempt to scare people into sending money to pay for allegedly unpaid taxes. Madigan’s office is seeing an increase in these complaints to her office from residents throughout the state, in particular from older people. Consumers report being contacted by scammers pretending to be IRS officials who leave threatening messages that include a number for consumers to call in order to avoid lawsuits or prosecution. Scammers also “spoof” phone numbers, causing caller ID devices to display what appears to be a legitimate call from the IRS, with identifiers such as “IRS” or the 202 area code for Washington, D.C. The scam artists claim they are representatives of the federal government collecting on unpaid taxes and leave threatening messages or instruct their targets to make a payment to them through a prepaid debit card. “It is critical to know that the IRS does not call and tell people they are under investigation or that they owe money,” Madigan said. “If you receive a call like this, even if your caller ID shows what appears to be a legitimate name or number, hang up immediately.” Madigan also encouraged consumers to report the call by con-

Consumers can also contact Madigan’s Identity Theft Hotline at 866999-5630 for tax-related identity theft assistance. The hotline is staffed with identity theft experts who can assist with all forms of identity theft by helping victims report the crime to local law enforcement and financial institutions, work to repair their credit and prevent future theft. Hotline operators can also assist callers who want to take proactive steps to prevent their personal information from being stolen.

She also urged Illinois residents to report the scam to her Consumer Fraud Bureau at 800386-5438 (Chicago), 800-243-0618 (Springfield), 800-243-0607 (Carbondale) or 866-310-8398 (Spanish), or by visiting her website. The Attorney General also provides a Senior Citizens Consumer Fraud Hotline: 800-243-5377. With tax season underway, Madigan said consumers should also be aware of an increasing number of reports of tax-related identity theft. Since 2013, tax identity theft complaints to Madigan’s office have risen dramatically by over 320 percent – from 138 complaints in 2013 to 582 complaints in 2015. Consumers reported when they attempted to file their tax return, a return was already filed in their names using their Social Security number, and a tax refund was issued. Other consumers reported their dependents had already been claimed on another return. Madigan said the No. 1 step consumers can take to combat tax-related identity theft is to file their returns as soon as possible. Madigan offered additional tips for consumers to avoid becoming the victim of tax-related identity theft: • The IRS does NOT initiate contact with taxpayers to request

Climbing the Walls When I was a kid growing up on a farm, I can remember getting a potholder-making kit. I loved making potholders. Then one day, with an excessive number of potholders in my bedroom, I decided to sew all of them together. After a considerable amount Tami of time, I had created a bag using those potMcCracken holders. I constructed a strap for the potholdCrawley er bag using leftover COMMENTARY loops from the kit. A day or two later, Grandma McCracken stopped by. Much to my surprise, Mom told me to get my potholder bag to show Grandma. I will never forget Grandma’s reaction when I showed her that bag. She took it from my hands, looked it over, and then turned to Mom and said that I probably would enjoy sewing and other crafts. I was thrilled. Unfortunately, Grandma passed away before teaching me to sew. That credit goes to a wonderful woman who came into my life when I entered seventh grade. Mrs. Hilda Hanson was a wonderful seventh- and eighthgrade English teacher at Amboy Grade School. She was also an excellent seamstress. She believed that girls should be taught sewing skills. Therefore, she taught a sewing class at the end of the day in a room located in the basement of the old school. Mrs. Hanson would bring her portable sewing machine some days to help us get our projects finished. There were two treadle sewing machines available, but with approximately 30 girls in that combined class of seventh- and eighth-graders, most of our sewing projects consisted of nothing but hand sewing. Mrs. Hanson was a wonderful English teacher, introducing us to many types of literature, even including magazine articles from various publications. She would read those articles to us. She chose a variety of subjects; one in particular that I always will remember was the Abominable Snowman (as it was called back then, now known as Bigfoot). Mrs. Hanson said there were many things that still had not been discovered and taught us to keep an open mind as to all the possibilities in the future. Mrs. Hanson was also the director of our eighth-grade play, which would be performed twice during the night of our annual grade school fun fair. When I was handed the script to read through, I noticed my character was to scream a total of three times during the production. That first practice was to be during the afternoon and would take place in our classroom. We would be reading our parts during that first rehearsal. Our classroom was located on the top floor of our old grade school, with two other classrooms nearby. Everything was proceeding along rather well until it was time for my first scream. That scream was supposed to be a muffled scream but ended up sounding more like a muffled squawk. Mrs. Hanson immediately stopped me and proceeded to explain that I had to sound really frightened. Then she demonstrated on how the scream should sound by suddenly letting loose with the loudest, most blood-curdling scream I have ever heard. Then she told me to proceed. I screamed just as she had instructed. I fully expected the other teachers from the nearby classrooms to charge into our room to see what horrible thing had happened to us. No one came. Not a single person. The night of the fun fair arrived and our play was a success. In the final scene, one character had to throw money all over the room where our characters were gathered. Of course, it was fake money. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a little boy had come from the audience and was now standing next to me as I was speaking my last lines. I watched my fellow actors as they began to notice the boy. Later we learned that he joined us to find out if the money was real. Mrs. Hanson was very happy with the performance, especially how we kept the play going without missing a beat after the boy joined us. Our second performance went well, too. Mrs. Hanson taught me so much – the joy of sewing and creating things which I do now as a quilter; to keep my mind open to new discoveries as I watch “Finding Bigfoot,” and if I ever would see a Bigfoot, there is no doubt I would be able to cut loose with the loudest, most blood-curdling scream. Thank you so much, Mrs. Hanson; you were the best. Tami McCracken Crawley is a mother of nine and avid quilter living in Henry. She may be reached at tamimccracken@yahoo.com.
Observations from the Field of Dreams Laurie Glen, Magnolia farmer and horse owner, called me one morning to tell me a woman from Wales, United Kingdom, was riding horses around the world, and would be riding through Magnolia and would be in Henry at a restaurant that afternoon if I would like to interview her. I told Laurie to tell her I would be there with my recorder. I met up with her and asked her about herself. She said she was Megan Lewis from Wales, a retired teacher who was now breeding Welsh ponies. She spent most of her childhood living elsewhere before returning to school in London. She taught for 10 years then moved back to her Welsh roots to raise sheep, ponies and was married with three children. She said, “I am raising money through the ride for my husband Lestyn Thomas’ charity, “Challenge Aid.” You can visit www.challengeaid. org to learn more about the charity which raises money for disadvantaged children worldwide through exercise. “My interests, besides riding around the world on horses, are breeding and showing Welsh ponies,” she said. Megan said she began her trip around the world on the Chinese coast. Her first horses’ names were Zorbee, Zahira and Bolly. To this date, she has worn six horses out. Each winter she goes back to Wales to her husband and children who are grown, but she said her children worry about her well
being. Her husband believes in what she is doing. Of all the countries she has rode through, the Chinese, especially in the rural areas, have welcomed her the best, and China was the best of all countries at keeping her in the home and giving her hay and food. While visiting Megan, she told me she once won the junior long distance rider of the year award. I asked Megan if I could see her horse. When Megan led her horse out of the stall at the fairgrounds, I was surprised when I saw her horse because I had a horse in the 1940s and early 1950s that looked exactly like this horse with its white face and reddish brown
Darrell Alleman COMMENTARY color. When I asked the horse’s name, Megan said, “Lady.” Now I was stunned because my horse was named Lady, too. When Megan and I said goodbye, I realized I would never see this special lady again ever. She is a very special woman, and I wish her the best. Darrell Alleman can be reached at news@putnamcountyrecord. com.
Love your fuzz off ... Girls, we all had one. That doll. You know, the one who would scare the daylights out of any normal human being. It was the baby doll with a missing eye, or an eyelid stuck in the open position, so one eyeball was always watching. It had its hair tangled in a knot on top of its head, and no amount of washing and grooming would ever restore it to its original beauty. It was the Velveteen Rabbit incarnate. When you realize they got this way because of love, it makes it a little better. OK, maybe a brother had something to do with the eyes, but when something endures a lifetime of hugging, kissing, tea parties, hospital visits, trips to the unknown and all the other “duties” of a comfort object, it starts to show. For me it was Bluey. It’s funny ... I didn’t know how to spell it. I never had to put his name in print before. He (why did I attach a male gender to it too?) was there for me. All throughout my childhood, he was a part of my life. I took him everywhere, and he always made it all better. He was nothing more than a blue piece of thermal material with satin around his outside, but he couldn’t have been more important to my growing up years. At age 5 or so, my mother decided that Bluey was too hard to keep track of when we traveled to various relative’s homes, so she decided to divide him up and give each household a piece, so I would never be without. She sneakily executed this procedure long after she thought I was asleep, but I walked in on her and with all of my 5-year-old drama announced, “You’ve murdered Bluey!” There she sat, scissors in hand, unable to
Lori Boekeloo COMMENTARY deny her crime. I was devastated and calling for her execution, or at least a lengthy jail stay. I had big plans for Bluey. He would adorn the kitchen curtain rod when I got older. I was going to have a valance made out of him so I wouldn’t face the ridicule of those who might think it was childish to hang onto something such as that. I hadn’t ironed out the details of how I was going to hide the fact that he had his fuzz all loved off, and was, in fact, worn right through in areas, but those were minor details. He wasn’t blue anymore, since my mother had washed him so many times his color had faded to practically white. My main concern is that he would never be away from me. My mother had just ended that dream. With a few swipes of the butchering shears, I no longer had my friend. Oh, I had pieces of him, but what was one little hunk compared to the full body armor he provided me in times of trouble? If I were the type to seek psychological counseling, I might also cite the example of Mrs. Matooga. I don’t remember her well, just that she was an old friend of my grandmother who thought that Bluey and thumb sucking were way outdated for a child my age. She tortured me by actually trying to take Bluey from me and telling me that my stomach would rot if I
continued to suck my thumb. The tug of war she engaged in with me and her harsh words have scarred me for life. I would seek refuge behind the big chair in Grandma’s living room when she was around. I’ve never gotten over it. Some people appreciate the importance of things such as these. My maternal grandfather was one of them. Until his death, he kept my piece of Bluey that had been designated to his home, and after his death, my grandmother framed it with a poem. I carried my own piece as my “something blue” for my wedding to my second husband. He was tolerant of that seemingly childish act. Just the other day, I pulled out my piece and held it to my face and was immersed in years of memories, love, tragedies avoided and comfort. We all need physical comfort in some form. For me it was Bluey. For some children, it may have been well worn dolls or stuffed animals who weren’t quite so stuffed after years of being over-loved. To the outside eye, they are gross and hideous, and may even smell, but to the ones who love them, they are a lifetime of memories and love. In my struggle to convince myself that inner beauty is the most important, I try to remember to see myself as those who love me see me. They don’t see my battle wounds and scars. They see who I have been to them. They love me as God loves me. Thank goodness! Lori Boekeloo of Hennepin is a mother of three.

When the wealthy Lord is found dead, a race around the clock is begun to find out whodunit. It does not stop there. Murder seems to lurk around every corner … or does it? The evening moves at a fast pace, whether a lively song and dance or another murder, but whom and why are questions the audience will try to determine. The cast provides an interesting combination of classic British stock characters — Cyndy Bruch (Lettie, the saucy maid), Donald Knuckey Jr. (Flint, the caretaker) and

Princeton DAR hosts youth luncheon PRINCETON — On Friday, March 4, the Princeton-Illinois Chapter, NSDAR, honored Good Citizens award recipients and members of their families and schools at the annual DAR Youth Luncheon at the Hampshire Colony Congregational Church in Princeton. Good Citizens honorees attended from Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties, the areas served by the Princeton DAR chapter. These high school seniors are selected by their peers and school staff on the basis of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. Good Citizens winners were Tess Kopp, Bureau Valley; Selena Campos, DePue; Jacob Merkel, Hall; Caroline Downey, Henry-Senachwine; Dustin Fultz, Ohio; Jacob Reinhardt, Princeton; Taylor Kreiser, Putnam County; and Nicholas Needs, St. Bede, whose essay was selected as chapter winner. His essay has advanced to district judging. Seven district winners will be judged with one Illinois DAR winner selected from the seven. The program for the day was presented by Tim Pletkovich, Peoria author of “Civil War Fathers.” Originally begun by his middle school students who researched living descendants whose fathers had fought in the Civil War, the book’s content evolved to focus on eight World War II soldiers and their Civil War fathers. The World War II vets were usually descended from second marriages by the Civil War men. The youth luncheon was followed by a brief business meeting when delegates were elected to the 125th Continental Congress, the national DAR convention to be held June 15-19 in Washington, D.C. The year 2016 marks 125 years of the national

St. Thomas More to host Rosary Crusade DALZELL — St. Thomas More will host a Rosary Crusade at noon on Saturday, March 19, in the parking lot of the church in Dalzell. The Rosary Crusade is being held to celebrate “God’s marriage and the traditional family,” said one of the organizers of
the event, adding “the legalization of safe-sex marriage under the title of marriage has awakened many souls.” The event is being held on the feast day of St. Joseph, who is known as “the spouse of the Mother of God and the pillar of families.”
According to a press release on the event, the “intention for this Rosary Crusade is to beg God, Our Lady and St. Joseph to protect and preserve traditional marriage in America.” Approximately 3,000 rallies are being held around the country.
STREATOR — Community Players of Streator Inc. has announced auditions for its summer musical “Mary Poppins.” Director Darcy Mollo will hold auditions at Engle Lane Theatre in Streator from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 18; from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 19; and from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 20.

Auditions will be held in the dance hall and those participating are asked to use the rear door marked “Mary Poppins Auditions.” Mollo is looking to cast performers age 13 and up, with the exception of the children’s roles of Jane and Michael. Singers and dancers, including tap dancers, will be part of the chorus and as such, will be performing in all of the production numbers. Production dates are July 9-16.

EIU will offer free summer journalism workshop for high school students CHARLESTON — High school students can learn journalism hands-on from award-winning reporters, editors and photographers at the Illinois Press Foundation workshop taking place at Eastern Illinois University June 22 through July 1. Applications for the 10-day workshop, which is funded by the Illinois Press Foundation, Robert R. McCormick Foundation and EIU, will be accepted through May 18. Eighteen students will be selected to participate in this free journalism experience. Graduating seniors
are eligible for this workshop as are those currently in their sophomore or junior years. Held on the EIU campus in Charleston, this residential program provides students an intimate look at journalism as a career by immersing students into approaches used by modern, digital newsrooms. The workshop introduces students to the complete process of publishing news: gathering and validating information, substantiating and using multiple sources, writing news, editing, designing and production. In addition, stu-
dents are exposed to the concepts of news literacy and how to differentiate and establish fact from fiction in today’s sometimes frenetic, rush-to-report news environment. Students do not need journalism experience to apply. The first week is devoted to instruction and related exercises, including news-gathering field trips. Professional journalists provide most of the instruction. Dozens of reporters, editors, publishers, photographers and other journalists have taught in the program since 1991, rep-
resenting more than 50 newspapers and news organizations throughout Illinois and across the country. Students then practice what they have learned. For two days, students are driven to newspapers, where they work with reporters and other journalists on assignments. The remainder of the second week is devoted to producing a news website. Students will also travel to Springfield where they will interview newsmakers and news journalists at the state capitol. The Illinois Press Foundation
has sponsored this event at Eastern Illinois University since its inception more than 20 years ago. The Robert R. McCormick Foundation is also a significant contributor to the program. All expenses, including housing, meals and tuition, are paid from these funds. To be considered, students must complete an application form, which is available online at EIU’s department of journalism website, www.eiu.edu/~journal. For further information, contact director Joe Gisondi at jjgisondi@eiu.edu.
‘I on Diabetes’ classes scheduled for April in Princeton OGLESBY — Every 19 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes. Statewide, 827,000 residents manage the chronic condition daily. Locally, between 7.5 and 10.5 percent of the population has been diagnosed with diabetes. And, nearly 1 in 4 adolescents has diabetes or prediabetes. Having a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes puts the individual at
an increased risk for heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and lower extremity amputations. The University of Illinois Extension will offer “I on Diabetes” to individuals and family members who want to learn more about prevention or management of this chronic disease. The class will be led by Susan Glassman,
nutrition and wellness educator. “I on Diabetes” provides four educational sessions and each class includes easy-to-prepare recipes, tasted in class. Participants will learn about diabetes and the disease-related complications, how to plan and manage meals, including eating out. The importance of reading food labels, spacing meals and

PCES students vote for their favorite Bluestem Book HENNEPIN — The fourth- and fifth-grade students participating in the Bluestem Book Award Program sponsored by the Illinois School Library Media Association (ISLMA) voted for their favorite book on Thursday, March 3. This is the sixth year for the Bluestem Award book program at PCES. Students who read four of the 20 books on the list were eligible to vote for their favorite book. Students also had to pass the Accelerated Reader Quiz and complete a worksheet on the book. Sixty-two students were eligible to vote. Students and staff enjoyed cookies and ice cream with toppings. Sixteen of the 20 books received votes with “The 13-Story Treehouse” by Andy Griffiths and “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen tying for the most votes. “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” by Chris Grabenstein was voted third. All of the votes were submitted to the state ISLMA website and an overall favorite of all students in the state of Illinois will be announced March 18. Fourth-grade students who were eligible to participate were: Zane Alonzo, Trevor Balma, Madison Boggio, Conlan Cwikla, Celina Davenport, Ryan Davis, Josh Dove, Gabby Doyle, Jaimee Faletti, Hannah Gorisek, Neveah Goulding, Hayden Grandadam, Eme-
lia Grant, Tucker Gualandi, Orlando Harris, Emma Henderson, Nathan Husser, Sarah Johnson, Logan Keesee, Ray Mandujano, Kylee Moore, Alex Myres, Zach Popurella, Miguel Reveles, Maggie Richetta, Owen Saepharn, Drew Talliani, Jonathan Taylor, Evan Turner, Megan Wasilewski and Trinity Wrobleski. Fifth-grade students who read four or more books to participate were: Tori Balma, Mikenna Boyd, Kaitlyn Brannon, Sophia Brown, Samantha Cirilo, Gracie Ciucci, Nicholas Currie, Lauren Faletti, Rihley Faletti, Ashlee Fuchs, Olivia Gonzalez, Brianna Henry, Carter Holmes, Katelyn Liles, Myra Macias, Austin Mattingly, Jackson McDonald, Milo Mucu, Emma Nicoli, Quinn Postula, Andrew Pyszka, Joel Rangel, Arianna Rivera-Story, Laynee Sanchez, Gianna Sartin, Madelyn Torrance, Cate Trovero, Haile Turner, Spencer Voss, Maddie Weger and Reise Zellmer. A special thanks to the PCEF for its funding of a grant to provide for the purchase of books, treats and medals. The cookies were made by Hennepin Foods. So far, 521 books have been read. Students who read all 20 nominees will receive a medal. Students have until April 15 to read all 20 if they choose to do so. Hannah Gorisek and
Fourth grade
Fifth grade Madelyn Torrance have read all 20. Several other students are working toward this goal.
The teachers and staff of PCES deserve a great round of thanks for all of their support of this program.
Their encouragement to read and the handling of the “behind the scenes” work is greatly appreciated.
This is a wonderful accomplishment of students and staff. Everyone did a great job.
