Riding the school bus ... Bad bus behavior discussed at PC School Board meeting By Dave Cook
news@putnamcountyrecord.com
GRANVILLE — While stating most Putnam County students are well-mannered, Superintendent Carl Carlson discussed what he said were “pockets of bad behavior” in the district’s school buses. “After nine weeks, we should know what the rules are; we should know how to sit in our seat, be quiet and to be respectful to the bus driver ... appreciate the ride,” Carlson said of student bus behavior
during the Putnam County School Board meeting on Oct. 17. Saying he’d spoken with the bus company and viewed tapes to see examples of the behavior in question, Carlson has met with the district’s administrative team. During their monthly meeting, it was decided the district will be re-visiting the expectations of student behavior on the bus. “We’re going to address the consequences right then and not wait until this becomes more of an issue,” Carlson said. Carlson added he’s evaluating a pro-
posal from the bus company, Johannes Bus, which could possibly save the district money by changing the pre-kindergarten bus routing to be more efficient. In other board news: • During the state funding update, it was shown the district is owed a total of $214,005.04 from the state — $108,397.08 for transportation; $105,541.24 for special education and $66.72 for the Illinois Free Lunch program. The district has not yet received any funding from the state for the Early Childhood program.
“This takes us back to the typical $200,000 or more in delayed payments from the state that we’ve seen during the last few years,” Carlson said. • Carlson said he’ll soon be meeting with a representative from First Midstate to discuss the district’s options in regards to the potential bond repayment issues created by the county’s mistake of assessing the tax levy in one year rather than over five years.

their friends. The more we can put this in their heads, the safer we hope they are,” he said. The students were told if they were trapped and saw a firefighter to not be scared, but to call out to them loudly so they can be found.
HENNEPIN — The assets of Putnam County and the Illinois Valley have much to offer investors and both the Economic Development Corporation of North Central Illinois (EDNCI) and the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce (IVAC) have been busy promoting them. IVAC Executive Director Joni Hunt presented a review of IVAC’s last six months to the Hennepin Village board on Oct. 19, saying, “Our No. 1 prerogative is to bring jobs to the Illinois Valley.” Describing how IVAC and the EDNCI work together, Hunt said Ivan Baker, CEO of the EDNCI, draws from the national stage, and then IVAC works to develop those prospects at the local level. Hunt also said IVAC is in the second round of talks with a heavy industrial manufacturer interested in Hennepin’s steel mill site. If chosen, it will provide the area with more than 600 jobs. The manufacturer, however, needs the option of rail transport, so Hunt said she’d been in discussions with four short-line rail companies in the hopes of being able to meet the company’s needs and successfully re-energize the long defunct site.

Escaping to safety frightening things which can occur; it’s unexpected, potentially deadly and disorienting, even for adults. To help children escape from this possible waking nightmare, members of the Hennepin Fire Department recently visited the Putnam County Elementary School during Fire Prevention Week.
Fire prevention officer Quentin Buffington spoke with students on Oct. 12 about the simple things they can do to be prepared and safe. Students first saw a firefighter in full protective gear and received an explanation of the various pieces of his equipment. “We teach them firefighters are

Students were shown demonstrations on “Stop, Drop, Cover your Face, and Roll,” “Crawl Low in Smoke” and that 9-1-1 is the proper number to dial if they or anyone is having an emergency. Buffington spoke of how much fire safety the students already knew, saying, “The kids are sponges for information when we do these programs. They know smoke detectors have to be tested, to crawl low,and to feel the door with the back of their hand, so we get to reinforce it and hope that, God forbid, if they ever were in that situation, they would be ready for it.” While it’s good the students already had some knowledge of fire safety, there are always new things to learn which could save lives. “I’m always surprised they think they should hide from fire and smoke. Sure it’s scary, and we hope when we teach them to feel the door with the back of the hand, crawl low, stop drop cover your face and roll, that they’ll

Hennepin Fire Prevention Officer Quentin Buffington shared safety information with Putnam County Elementary students during National Fire Prevention Week. The Hennepin Fire Department will soon be choosing the winners of the annual contest which will reward the winners with a trip to school in a fire truck. The contest required students to draw the floor plan of their home and include two exits to safety from each room in the event of a fire. not panic and instead do what we’ve shown them. They know quite a bit, but there is still lots to be taught. The highlight of Fire Prevention Week is the Exit Drills in The Home (EDITH) contest. Students are given paper to draw the floor plan of their house, showing two exits from every room,
Promoting From Page 1 Other highlights of IVAC’s last six months have been the addition of 39 new members. Hunt stated the group currently has 350 members and is working toward a goal of 500. IVAC has also held 34 events, the most ever, and has assisted two businesses, Shane’s Shine Shop and Central Bank, in finding new locations. “We’ve also been interested in work force development which is the No. 1 challenge we’ve heard from businesses we’ve talked to. We’re helping to form programs for students, so they’ll know the variety of opportunities in the Illinois Valley. Knowing this will be an important part of getting our youth to stay here and to

help the region grow,” Hunt said. In other board news: • The leaf burning guidelines are as follows: Burning is allowed any day of the week from 10 a.m. to dusk; no burning is allowed within 24 hours of a half inch of rain; fires must be extinguished with no smoldering; the street department will not pick up bagged leaves or branches. The yard waste guidelines are as follows: No plastic bags are allowed at the yard waste site; the site is for Hennepin residents only; the site is under surveillance; no branches longer than 4 feet are allowed. • Hennepin’s trick-or-treat hours will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 31. The Hennepin Fire Department is providing candy, drinks, food and more during the Halloween celebration.
Students also received a gift bag as a thank you from the fire department that included a firethemed color changing pencil, eraser, book mark and wrist band. The Hennepin Fire Department thanked the Putnam County Schools for allowing them to continue this important educational program and
Bus From Page 1 “We’ll be looking for the best possible plan for our district moving forward. The reason we took the bonds out in the first place was to have a protective interest in the fund because we weren’t sure about the state issues. We’re still not sure about the state, but we’re going to see if we can possibly pay it all back in one sum, which would save us a lot of interest to be paid, but it depends on what type of bond it is. It’s basically a mess,” Carlson said. • The board will be developing a checklist to ensure the district’s various HVACR equipment receives regular maintenance work and inspections.
remind everyone to be safe. “Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, practice your exit drills and check those expiration dates on your detectors. ‘Don’t wait, Check the Date;’ don’t let an outdated detector put you and your family at risk for tragedy, be fire safe,” Buffington said.
• The board approved the addition of Midland High School to the regional wrestling co-op of Hall High School and Putnam County. Carlson said, “This will mean we’ll share a third of the costs instead of half and will also result in more weight classes being filled; it will benefit all three schools.” Putnam County typically has 10 to 12 wrestlers per year, and Hall and Midland each have approximately eight to 10. He also said they’ll have to redesign the uniforms to incorporate Midland’s school color — green. Previously the uniforms were split, colored with the appropriate school color and logo on each side, red for Hall and black for Putnam County.

OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College will propose an $11.6 million tax levy for 2016, up less than 5 percent over the actual 2015 levy of slightly over $11 million, the board’s audit-finance committee learned Oct. 11. “(The levy) would assure us of being at the full tax rate for education and operations and maintenance, two funds that are crucial for our daily operations,” said Cheryl Roelfsema, vice president for business services and finance. Roelfsema said it is unlikely there will be an increase in the district’s equalized assessed valuation (EAV) since the value
of Exelon’s LaSalle Station assessment dropped from $435 million to $430 million. In 2017, the plant’s value will remain at $430 million before returning to $435 million in 2018 and increasing to $460 million in 2019. With an increase of less than 5 percent, a public hearing will not be necessary. The full board will discuss the levy Nov. 10. IVCC draws taxes from all or parts of eight counties: LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam, Marshall, Lee, Livingston, Grundy and DeKalb. In other business, the committee learned the college received a “clean” audit report from Wipfli, LLP of Sterling.

Illinois Valley Community College OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College and 40 support staff represented by AFT/IFT Local No. 6561 have reached an agreement resulting in withdrawal of an unfair labor practice charge filed by the union. Following closed session at its monthly meeting on Sept. 8, IVCC board members agreed to a retroactive 2.5 percent increase for fiscal 2016 and a 2 percent raise this year for union support staff. The retroactive payment will be included in the Sept. 22 payroll. In exchange, the union will withdraw its charges before the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board and allow IELRB to conduct an on-site union certification election. “Both parties agree that an election to resolve certification is in the best interest of both parties,” the agreement states. In other business, the campaign to build the college’s scholarship endowment has exceeded its $500,000 goal, President Jerry Corcoran said. “One of the goals the board and I agreed to last year was to establish an endowment to offer more scholarships, particularly to those with unmet financial need. We set our initial target at $500,000 and have achieved that goal thanks to 106 generous supporters of our college’s mission,” Corcoran said. More than $512,000 has been raised and an estimated 80 students have already received assistance from the financial aid office ranging from $333 to $357 each. Specific populations targeted for assistance are: GED and ESL students in healthcare and manufacturing “bridge” programs; middle class students who qualify for very little, if any, financial aid; returning students seeking a certificate or degree; and returning summer students who have exhausted their financial aid. A campaign donor wall, similar to the display for the $2.1 million Community Technology Center capital campaign, will be installed near the main entrance. “We remain true to our mission and focused on doing everything we can to give district residents every opportunity to receive a quality education,” said

er and Matthew Theisinger; and two great-grandchildren, Abigayle and Madelyn Pfeiffer. Elaine was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Theisinger, in 2006; her son, Gerald Kline; and her brother, George Helmer. As per Elaine’s request, private services were held Sunday, Oct. 23, in the Granville Cemetery with Pastor Ron McNeill officiating. Memorials may be directed to the Putnam County Food Pantry of the Putnam County Achievement Center. The Helmer-Shields Funeral Home in Granville assisted the family with arrangements.
Oglesby woman accused of delivering heroin PERU — An Oglesby woman was arrested on drug charges following an investigation into heroin sales by TRi-DENT agents. Barbara A. King (AKA Barbara Konczak), 39, of 416 W. First St. was arrested on a LaSalle County arrest warrant in the 1400 block of 11th Street in Peru on two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 2 felony. The arrest came following an investigation into heroin sales in LaSalle where during the investigation, King delivered heroin to TRi-DENT agents on three separate
occasions. The arrest warrant was obtained with the assistance of the LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s Office. King was another person that was involved in the case on Oct. 11, when police arrested Joe L. McSpadden III for unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver. King was transported to the LaSalle County Jail by TRi-DENT agents where she is being held on a $500,000 bond. Additional charges in this case are pending. LaSalle investigators assisted in the arrest of King.
Corcoran, adding, “It’s also why we’re in the minority again (among Illinois community colleges) by covering MAP grants this year.” The campaign was launched in January 2015 with a $150,000 lead gift from 1951 IVCC alumnus Ralph Scriba of Palos Verdes Peninsula, Calif. His pledge was soon followed by a $50,000 matching gift from alumni William and Dian Taylor of Winnetka. Trustees also approved: • The appointment of Diann Jabusch as Director of Information Technology Services to replace the retiring Harold Barnes. Jabusch has 18 years experience in Illinois community colleges (Rock Valley, McHenry County and Spoon River) and holds a master’s in instructional technology and telecommunications from Western Illinois and a bachelor’s in mathematics and computer science from the University of Illinois. • Purchase of 280 tons of rock salt from Cargill for $63.36 per ton or a total of $17,740. • Seeking bids for a Simulaids SMART STAT Basic patient simulator for the Emergency Medical Services program for an estimated $11,000. The equipment allows EMS students to practice advanced life support skills. • The date, time and place for filing petitions for the April 4 trustee election. Petitions for six-year terms on the board must be filed with Board Secretary Jeanne Hayden in Room C301 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, Dec. 12-16, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19. The board learned: • Part-time criminal justice instructor Gary Gnidovec and Assessment Center Assistant Kathleen Finklea have resigned. • A total of 160 summer graduates, including 28 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) graduates, earned 186 degrees and certificates. That compares to 190 graduates earning 222 degrees and certificates in summer 2015. • Geology instructor Mike Phillips recently published an online teaching module titled “Mapping the Environment with Sensory Perception,” as part of a National Science Foundation funded InTeGrate STEP Center activity.

My stay at Colonial was an unexpected pleasure. Each of the physical and occupational therapists were professional, courteous, and encouraging. Their success in my treatment is a testament to their skills.

Sick and tired I’m so ready for Election Day to come and go. Not because I’m looking forward to a new president, but because I’m so ready to stop hearing and seeing all the negative, slander talk about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. I’m ready to log-in Goldie to my Facebook and Rapp not be bombarded with posts and artiCOMMENTARY cles talking about how ridiculous and unfit the candidates are. I’m ready to scroll through the national news and not read a negative headline about one of the elections. I’m ready to not have to hear about the newest inappropriate remark Trump made at a debate or how Clinton needs to be in jail for her email scandal. I’m officially tired of it all. I know what you’re thinking. If you don’t like it, just ignore it. But, honestly in this day and age with social media and whatnot, how can I ignore it? I don’t go searching for the negativity; the negativity is brought to me the moment I step out my front door each day — actually, the moment I wake up and check my Facebook to see updates from my family and friends. I feel this campaign for our next president has been brutal, and I’ve never seen such hatred things being put on Facebook about the candidates. I know people have the right to express their opinion, and I fully defend their right, but boy, citizens really have some evil things to say about the person who will be leading our country in just a short time. I’m seen so much hatred surrounding this presidential campaign. I’ve watched my own family members verbally attack one another over what one candidate said or did; I’ve seen friendships break apart because one friend stated their reasoning why they will vote for a candidate, while the other friend responded with how wrong and crazy his opinion was. I just got back from vacation on Monday and saw an announcement was sent out last week from Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed reminding citizens that stealing and vandalizing election signs is a crime. Really? People were stealing and knocking down election signs? I’m so embarrassed to say Bureau County has this issue, and people who live here actually wasted precious time tearing out signs. How ridiculous!. What is going on? Another sad part about this election is that more and more people are saying they will not be voting this year because they don’t agree with either candidate. That is also shameful. While I also don’t feel Clinton or Trump are fully suited to be President, I will still be at the polls on Nov. 8. In fact, right after reading Sheriff Reed’s email when I came back to work, I also came across a letter to the editor that was published in a recent edition of BCR called “You Still Need to Vote” written by Cam Johnson of Princeton. In the letter, Cam suggests that despite the not-so-great choice we have this election year, we still need to do our homework on the candidates and cast our votes. I can’t agree more. It would be a shame to waste our chance to exercise our right to vote. I’m desperately hoping after Election Day, the fire storm with news headlines and social media will sizzle out. The passionate citizens will go on living their normal lives and not fill Facebook with hatred over the candidate they oppose. And I will be able to walk out my door and not be reminded that our country is on the verge of being doomed because of its next potential leader.

Give where you live Greetings from the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation (SRCCF)! We are excited for this opportunity to give you a better understanding of the good works of the foundation. We are part of a movement that began in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914, when the Cleveland Foundation was born, and now more than 100 years later, we felt it was time to create a community foundation of our own that would make grants to our local non-profit organizations; manage and distribute scholarships; and provide philanthropic direction throughout LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. We are a non-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization as designated by the IRS and the state of Illinois, and governed by a board of directors representing LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. We are located at 718 Columbus St. in Ottawa, and can be reached at 815-252-2906. Our new website is under construction, but you can find us on Facebook. Our purpose is to bring donors of all abilities together, pooling contributions to fund causes that matter most to the donors and the community. We are building long-term funds to create endowments to meet the needs of the community forever. We are creating short-term funds that are returned as grants to non-profit organizations for immediate needs. For individuals and corporations wanting to create scholarships, we assist in the preparation, administration and award distribution through an educated team of advisors who will ensure the dollars are fairly and appropriately awarded in accordance with the wishes of the scholarship donor. And, we strive to provide sound gifting solutions to individual and corporate donors, attorneys and financial planners in the community. There are many types of funds we can create, and the impact is far-reaching. We will fund education, health care, childcare, youth programs, the arts, environmental concerns, tourism, economic development, beautification, conservation and the needs and particular challenges of non-profit agencies
Pamela Beckett COMMENTARY and the community at-large. Donor-advised funds give the donor the right to request their funds be released to a particular non-profit organization and at a particular time. Field of Interest funds are created so a donor can use his gifts to fund organizations in a specific category, such as assisting the homeless, the hungry or animal welfare. Agency funds allow local non-profit agencies to create funds that will build endowment for the future of their organization. Family foundations and other endowed funds can be gifted to and invested by the SRCCF. Unrestricted, general gifts to the foundation allow us to build the infrastructure and to stand ready to fund community needs quickly and appropriately. Since our inception less than a year ago, we have launched a number of initiatives and opened several funds, with more being created. • In Ottawa, the Robert M. Eschbach Legacy Endowment Fund will provide for the continuation of the growth, beautification and economic development of Ottawa for years to come. • The Rising Star Scholarship has recently been created to provide an annual scholarship to a qualified high school graduate from the Seneca or Marseilles area who has enrolled in Illinois State University to obtain a four-year degree in elementary education, and who intends to pursue a career in teaching elementary grade school students. • SRCCF is the fiscal sponsor for the TBM Avengers Reunion to be held for the second year at the Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru. A generous gift from a local donor has been made to help underwrite the expenses of the event each year. • Ideas are already forming to support local initiatives in Princeton.
• An existing non-monetary award at Marquette Academy will now have a financial scholarship attached to it because of local donors who care. • Zero for Heroes, a fund being established to provide a companion dog or cat to a local veteran diagnosed with PTSD, was created by a local resident who is fulfilling a lifelong dream of such a fund. • More scholarships and donor funds are in the works, and we can help you fulfill your dreams of doing good in the community forever. • We’re continuing to create valuable partnerships. Our new women’s giving circle, the Women Inspired Network (WIN), is a membership organization for women created collaboratively with the OSF Healthcare Foundation. Modest annual donations by large numbers of women make giving circles highly effective. Funds raised by members and supporters will be used to make grants focused on enhancing independence, dignity and the quality of life for women and children. • Our partnership with the residents of the Sheridan Correction Center is providing little free libraries to us for placement throughout LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. • And our Youth Engaged in Philanthropy program will teach middle-school students in all three counties about philanthropy, grant-writing and grant-making, as well as providing opportunities for public speaking and leadership development. We welcome your contributions to support these worthwhile initiatives and new ones arriving daily. It’s all about local people and local giving – Give where you live. Own your philanthropy. Give us a call at 815-252-2906. The possibilities are endless, and we are here to help you make an impact in your own backyard. Pamela Beckett is the president of Starved Rock Country Community Foundation. She welcomes the opportunity to meet with you, your business and organizations. She can be reached at pamela@srccf.org or by calling 815-252-2906.
TO Letter THE Editor
Trump-backer To the Editor, First and foremost, I am a Christian, a native American woman, speaking for myself, a supporter of Donald Trump. I also believe that the Bible is the true written word of God. It is our right and Christian duty to vote for the candidate who will uphold and define our rights as America citizens. We need a president who will put the needs of the people above the government, regardless of his past. Remember we are not electing a pastor or clergyman to be president. Only a man who is humanoid and subject to mistakes; no one is perfect. Can one truly judge the heart of another? Our focus should be on what and who can repair, rebuild, restore the damage done to America, by this present and past administration, who by greed and deception have blinded the eyes of the people. I believe Donald Trump is strong and has the wisdom to rebuild this nation. A man who will not bow his
knee to a political machine, Christians and non-Christians alike. If you really care what happens to the future of American, think and pray before you cast a vote for a part of this political machine, i.e. Hillary Clinton, who professes to be a Christian, but again, only God can judge her heart. However, I can judge her actions and policies. She is for partial birth abortions. Backing people who continue to murder unborn babies by the millions. I ask you, does this woman regard human life? As stated, she has said Christians are deplorable, among other nasty comments. Can you honestly say this is moral? My vote is for a man like Donald Trump who I believe values the unborn child, cares about our freedoms, one who will protect and restore America again, fight for our rights as Christians, as president upholder veterans, stand up for our American flag, for our liberty, Americans right to bare arms.
Because Trump stands up for the rights of this country, (he) has been attacked by vicious self-righteous bigotry, who want to destroy him by impure motives. Even now this present administration is quietly working behind closed doors to destroy our civil rights, nationalizing our police departments, forcing government control rules, regulations, oppressing Americans freedoms. Pray, yes! We must as Christians because we hold the future of this nation in our hands. If you choose to vote or not, remember a no vote, Libertarian vote will go to the opposition. Freedom or continued domination by socialism, communist, Marxism rule loss of our freedom of speech and religion government-controlled schools — you make the choice before it is too late — as a Christian, my hope is in God, not a man. America vote or lose! L.C. Portwood Standard
First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Constitution of the United States, 1789

Voting program for DAR PRINCETON — Members of the Princeton-Illinois Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution were informed by Kami Hieronymus, Bureau County clerk, about early voting, locations and proper marking of ballots in a program called “Let’s Get Ready to Vote” at their regular meeting on Oct. 7 at the Prouty Building. Transfer member Lura Hamilton was invited to talk about her background and patriot by Regent pro tem, Evalynn Blanco. A letter was read from the wife of a deceased Vietnam veteran thanking the chapter for the Vietnam War 50th commemoration certificate, pin and proclamation awarded for his service. The Princeton-Illinois Chapter has been successful in locating names of 700 Vietnam-era veterans to be recognized in the area. Chairman Lois Peterson presented a National Park minute recognizing the 100th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. National Park System. The treasury department has released quarters depicting national parks. Release dates will continue until 2021. The Postal Service has created stamps depicting national parks to commemorate the anniversary. The oldest national park in the U.S. is Yellowstone, signed into law by President U.S. Grant in 1872 and later transferred into the care of the National Park Service in 1916. The chapter announced three National Society DAR awards: Children of the American Revolution – North Central Division – for outstanding leadership support; Chapter Achievement Award – Level One; and Celebrate America for 100 percent participation. Blanco presented two members with 40-year membership certifi-

PRINCETON — This year’s Prairie Arts Council Children’s Christmas musical, “A Winterhaven Christmas,” by local playwright Rachel E. Gorenz-Johnson, was written especially for PAC’s young actors and was first performed on the PAC stage in 2009. As the play begins, six young cousins are stranded at their grandmother’s house in the country over the holidays; they venture into the attic to explore and find a book hidden in a locked trunk. As one of the children reads the book out loud, they suddenly find themselves face to face with the daughter of an Archduchess, a wicked sorceress, and one of the Sorceress’ minions, who step right out of the book into the dusty attic. But when the sorceress disappears, the Archduchess’ daughter remains in the attic and one of the children is gone, taken captive by the sorceress. With the help of their grandmother and more colorful storybook characters, the children set about on an adventure to return the Archduchess’ daughter to her home and free their lost cousin.

Eliza Morris and Friends cabaret at Festival 56 PRINCETON — Join the Princeton Theatre Group at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, as Festival 56 favorite Eliza Morris and friends Anslee Burns and Casi Maggio present “Little Black Book.” This musical review takes a cabaret-style look at the ups and downs of dating through comedy, Broadway standards, chart-topping hits and a splash of contemporary favorites. Eliza Morris and Friends “Little Black Book” offers a fun night out for anyone who is part of a couple, just friends, thinking about dating or remembering what it was like to date. The stories unfold through songs performed in an updated Andrews Sisters style as Eliza, Ans-
lee and Casi share the memories and pages of their “Little Black Books” — a glimpse into the good, the bad and the hilarious of dating woes. Morris’ last appearance at Festival 56 was in “City of Angels.” Since then, she has graduated from Illinois State University with degrees in classical acting and music theory. She moved to New York for three months to complete a post-graduate vocal study under Scott Flaherty, one of New York’s foremost voice teachers. Since returning to Chicago, she has worked with Emerald City Theatre and Broadway in Chicago, as well as writing, producing and performing caba-
rets. She currently studies classical voice with Saundra DeAthos, a faculty member of Illinois Wesleyan nationally known for her operatic performances, and jazz vocal performance with Elaine Dame, one of Chicago’s favorite jazz singers whom Time Out Chicago calls “a gem in the city’s vocal jazz scene.” Morris is donating all the proceeds of this show to Festival 56. “Without the mentorship of Laura and Dexter Brigham,” she says, “there is no doubt that I would not have pursued this career, which continues to bring me joy every day. Festival 56 has done and continues to do so much for Princeton, and I’m so proud and happy

Golden Bedans on field with cheerleaders.
Homecoming weekend launches new Bruins website; gift from the Class of ’66 at St. Bede Academy PERU — Homecoming weekend brought Bruins back in full force to the St. Bede campus. Beginning with the launching of the new St. Bede website to the game ball being delivered by Abbot Philip Davey, O.S.B., via helicopter, there was much excitement for alumni and friends to enjoy. The new St. Bede website was funded by the Class of 1966 to commemorate their 50th reunion as Golden Bedans. “We are excited to have a new website which will
showcase St. Bede with stories, digital capabilities and much more up-todate information,” stated Eve Postula, business office manager. “We are grateful to the Class of ’66 for making our new website possible.” The Class of ’66 embarked on a class gift that would reflect the enthusiasm and warmth that the 50th reunion class has for St. Bede. The 50th class reunion marks a tremendous milestone in the lives of these alumni. “It provided us a won-
derful opportunity for our 1966 classmates to expand our support of St. Bede by making a special commitment to provide the funds for a new website,” stated attorney John Duncan. Other homecoming activities included a parade, the annual junior/senior Powder Puff game and variety show. Saturday morning kicked off with the Jim Lattin 5K Run/Walk and the morning closed out with the St. Bede Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony. Those inducted were Michael

The weekend brought home St. Bede graduating classes on the 1 and 6 for their reunions, and many other classes just got together to enjoy the festivities such as the “Dear Bruins” that took place with group photographs taken by Quentin Buffington, ‘90. The St. Bede varsity game kicked
off with a flyover by a Stearman bi-plane piloted by Peter Limberger and accompanied by John O’Reilly, Class of ’61, to give a tip of the wings to the new Golden Bedan Class of 1966. Shortly after it wasn’t a bird or a plane but Abbot Philip Davey, O.S.B. ’65, arriving with the game ball by helicopter to personally deliver it to the referee before the Bruins took on the Princeton Tigers. A victorious Bruins win concluded the day’s events and the evening gatherings began for all those celebrating reunions. Sunday con-
cluded the weekend with the all alumni Mass that included the induction of the Golden Bedan Class of 1966 to honor the 50th year of their commencement from St. Bede and a brunch open to all that followed. The weekend was filled with great memories which just confirms why we say, “Once a Bruin, always a Bruin,” said Julia Yaklich, development director for St. Bede. “Be sure to mark the calendar for next year’s homecoming, Oct. 6-8, 2017. We look forward to seeing our wonderful St. Bede family there.”
