Medical marijuana users skyrocket

By Donna [email protected]

PRINCETON — The Illi-nois Department of Pubic

Health is reporting a high-er than expected number of people wanting appli-cations for medical mari-juana use.

On Monday, Bureau/

Putnam County Health Department Administra-tor Diana Rawlings said the applications are only available online through the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Divi-sion of Medical Cannabis. For people who are not able to get the application online, the IDPH will mail an application to qualify-ing individuals. The local

health departments will not have applications in their offices, Rawlings said.

In a statement issued Friday, IDPH Medical Cannabis Pilot Program project coordinator Bob Moran commented on the higher than expected response to the program, which began accepting applications on Sept. 2.

“We anticipated a few

hundred patients and caregivers would begin registering for a medi-cal cannabis identifica-tion card during the first couple of days, but by the end of Thursday, Sept. 4, more than 2,000 people had started the applica-tion process,” Morgan said. “This is a promising sign that the program is on track to fulfill its key

purpose — alleviating the pain and suffering for thousands of Illinoisans.”

For now, qualifying patients whose last names begin with A-L may apply through Oct. 31. Qualify-ing patients whose last names begin with M-Z may submit an application from Nov. 1-Dec. 31.

IDPH expected a couple of hundred applicants; to date,

more than 2,000 have registered

Corn, soybeans: A good year for Bureau County

By Donna [email protected]

Bureau County area farmers are gearing up for the 2014 harvest which should be a good one, but maybe not record break-ing.

The Illinois Crop Prog-ress and Condition Report,

released Sept. 2, showed 82 percent of the corn con-dition is rated at good to excellent, with 78 percent of the soybean condition rated as good to excellent.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Statistics Ser-vice reports the United States is expected to pro-duce a record 3.82 bil-lion bushels of soybeans in 2014, which is up 16 percent from the amount produced last year. Corn-growers are expected to produce a record-high crop of 14.0 bushels of

corn, up 1 percent from the 2013 record corn pro-duction.

On Monday, Tiskilwa farmer Sharon Covert said she thinks it will be a good soybean crop this year, but probably not a bum-per crop in this part of the state.

Covert, who serves as a director for the Illi-nois Soybean Association and also as a member of the U.S. Soybean Export Council, said she has talk-ed with fellow soybean-growers around the state, and the soybean harvest

does look good statewide as a whole.

However, conditions do vary from area to area around the state, Covert said. Many farmers say they have had ample rain, and some even felt they have had too much rain and are worried about dis-eases. There were other farmers in particular areas who have had quite dry conditions for some time. But on the whole, the soy-bean crop looks good this year, Covert said.

What defines a bumper crop

in 2014?

What’s it take to put on the

Homestead Festival?

By GolDie [email protected]

PRINCETON — There are only three days left before the 43rd annual Homestead Festival.

The weekend-long cel-ebration will draw people from surrounding areas and beyond, as many come home to reconnect with old friends, classmates or family members and par-take in the fun activities planned throughout the weekend.

This year’s theme, “Back in the Day,” will have many reflecting back on the many great memories they made throughout the years.

A big focus this year will be on Princeton’s popular actor Richard Widmark, who would have been turning 100 years old this year. Widmark grew up in Princeton and attended PHS, before becoming a well-known actor and star-ring in more than 60 films.

The Apollo Theater will be showing Widmark’s 1959 movie, “The Trap” at 9 p.m. Friday. Also, the Prairie Arts Center will be displaying a Widmark exhibit.

On Monday, Homestead Festival manager Tracy Makransky, who works side-by-side with fellow Festival manager Rick Clary, said plans for this year’s event are on track and ready to go.

“At this point, we’re just hoping for good weather. We’re crossing our fingers

for no rain,” she said.In talking about the cost

of Homestead, Makransky said it takes a little more than $30,000 to cover the expenses the weekend.

This year’s money came from two fundraisers— the annual Homestead Lawn Event in June and the vari-ety show in August. Also, there’s the 50/50 raffle and area businesses who have shown their support for the festival and have made big contributions that have helped keep the festival going strong.

Makransky confirmed most of the Homestead budget is taken up by the grand parade, which totals about $10,000. It’s a big expense, but Makransky said it comes from hav-ing no parade entry fee and the cost to bring in the popular entertainment everyone enjoys such as the South Shore Drill, New Generation Drill Team and Funny Little People.

Looking at the budget, Makransky said the goal is to always break even or to make a little more which can be used for next year’s event. This year, if every-thing goes as planned, Makransky said they are looking to make that goal.

The best thing about the event is that it attracts people of all ages. Makran-sky said there something out there for everyone.

“I’m looking forward to all the people visiting Princeton. I love to see the people lined up for the parade and seeing all the activity in town all week-end long,” she said. “It’s an energizing feeling and exciting and something I certainly look forward to every year.”

Everything is on track, ready to go

Rediscover Richard Widmark

PRINCETON — The Rediscover Richard Wid-mark Community Orga-nization will have its pre-mier event in conjunc-tion with the Homestead Festival at 9 p.m. on Fri-day, Sept. 12 at the Apollo Theater in Princeton with spotlights scanning the sky and old cars of the period.

All admission fees will benefit the organization, however, anyone attend-ing the movie wearing a Rediscover Richard Wid-mark T-shirt will get in free. Regular admission is $5, and the movie being shown with Dolby sur-round sound and wides-creen digital color is “The Trap” starring Richard Widmark, Lee J. Cobb, Tina Louise, Earl Holli-man and Lorne Green.

This movie was first released worldwide and shown at the Apollo in 1959. Richard Widmark attended grade school and high school in Princ-eton and graduated as senior class president of Princeton High School in 1932. He was a doorman at the Apollo when he was in high school.

He made his first movie, “Kiss of Death” in 1947, earning an Oscar nomination and then went on to have a 44-year, 72-movie career. He starred in many clas-sics like “The Alamo” with John Wayne, “Judg-ment at Nuremberg” with Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster and Montgom-ery Clift, and “Cheyenne Autumn” with an all-star cast.

Rediscover Richard Widmark T-shirts are being sold throughout the Homestead Festival and now through com-mittee members. They

will be on sale also prior to the movie. T-shirts are available in S, M, L, XL at $20 and 2XL, 3XL at $22. They come in sand and brown colors.

Richard Widmark would have been 100 years old this Dec. 26. He was born in 1914 in Sunrise Township, Minn., and died at home in Rox-bury, Conn., on March 24, 2008.

The goals of Rediscover Richard Widmark are a scholarship in Widmark’s name, raising his life pro-file by telling his story and history in Princeton and his movie career, and eventually having a per-manent exhibit in town. Exhibits and displays on Richard Widmark will be found during the Home-stead Festival at Princ-eton Public Library, the Prouty Building, Prairie Arts Center, Jillian’s win-dow display, B.L. Kas-sabaum Artist’s Gallery, Heartland Bank and at

the group’s booth on the lawn in front of Frontier on South Main Street, just north of the Apollo Theater. You can also find the group on Facebook at Rediscover Richard Wid-mark or write to them at Rediscover Richard Wid-mark, P.O. Box 32, Princ-eton, IL 61356.

Members are Jim Dunn, Mike and Carole Vaughn, Bart Kassabaum, Fred Best, Todd Borsch, Laurie Anderson, Jay Schneider, Judd Lusher and Dick Volker. For quick service, call Kassabaum at 815-872-7081.

The Rediscover Richard Widmark Community Organization will show “The Trap” at 9 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Apollo Theater. Admission is $5.

Still looking for the Medallion?

PRINCETON — The search for Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt continues with the release of the fifth clue:

Knowing your nursery rhymes won’t lead you a far,

The medallion lays near where Richard was a star.

He appeared in films of the frontier west,

Those with Indians, wagon trains & outlaws were best.

Focus your efforts don’t waste light when it’s prime,

Call on your friends, don’t exhaust all your time.

This is the 27th year for the Great Medallion Hunt. As in the past, the lucky individual(s) finding Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion will win $1,000 in Princeton Chamber gift certificates. In addition to the medallion, several other surprises have been hidden throughout the city to reward hunters for their efforts.

Hunters will need to decipher the clues to find the hidden Medallion. The Medallion is approximate-ly 3 1/2 inches in diameter,

1/8-inch thick and has the Heartland Bank logo on it. It will be hidden on pub-lic property within the city limit of Princeton and in a location that will not pose any danger to searchers. Nothing needs to be bro-ken into, dug up or torn apart to find it. The Medal-lion is not hidden at City-County Park, the Bureau County Fairgrounds or at any of the local cemeter-ies. If you find the Medal-lion, call the phone num-ber that will be attached to it. When the Medallion is found, announcements will be made on WZOE and posted to the web-site at www.wzoe.com as well as the Bureau Coun-ty Republican’s website, www.bcrnews.com, as soon as its discovery has been confirmed.

Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt Commit-tee will release clues to the Bureau County Republican and WZOE every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The goal of the Heartland Bank Great Medallion Hunt is to provide everyone the opportunity to get caught up in the spirit of the annu-al Homestead Festival and get it off to a great start. Heartland Bank’s Great Medallion Hunt is open to everyone except families associated with Heartland Bank and Trust Co.

next clue

Beginning Jan. 1, patients and caregivers will be able to submit applications at any time, Moran said.

As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, there has been local interest from

at least two communi-ties in being selected as one of the approximate-ly 20 medical marijuana cultivation sites across the state.

In August, the Spring Valley City Council approved an amend-ment to the city’s land development code to meet requirements needed for a state-

licensed medical mari-juana cultivation facil-ity. The Princeton City Council took similar action in August to allow for a possible cultivation center to be established in the Princeton Logis-tics Park, located on the north edge of town.

The Compassionate Use of Medical Canna-bis Act was signed into

law on Aug. 1, 2013, and went into effect Jan. 1, 2014. The number of cultivation centers is limited by law to no more than 22, or one per Illinois State Police Dis-trict. The new law lim-its the number of state licensed-dispensaries to 60.

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com.

Princeton farmer Steve Bonucci said he doesn’t know if the corn crop will be a bumper crop this year, considering all the wind damage received earlier this summer. But still, there will be some big yields, he said.

What marks a bumper crop? Bonucci said what used to be a bumper crop

is now what farmers have come to expect. Ten years ago or so, farmers would have considered an aver-age of 200 bushels of corn an acre to be a bumper crop. Now many farmers would think a bumper crop would be more in the 240- to 250-plus bushel range as an average, he said.

Having driven back to Illinois recently through Nebraska and Iowa, the crops look good there

as well, Bonucci said. No doubt about it, there should be a lot of corn harvested this fall, he said.

Of course, the other side to good yields is that prices for that corn will be lower, Bonucci said. There will be a lot of farmers who struggle to sell their crop and make money this year because the higher yields will mean lower prices.

“But farmers didn’t start producing corn to

make money. They did it to keep people from starving to death. In that regards, it’s going to be a pretty successful year for American farmers,” Bonucci said. “I think we should pat ourselves on the back for doing a good job, and thank Mother Nature again for helping us to keep down the num-ber of hungry people in the world.”


A few things about this year’s event is while the Bureau County Pork Pro-ducers will no longer be selling the popular pork sandwiches, people will not go without, as the Bureau County 4-H orga-nization has stepped up and taken over the tradi-tion.

Also this year, there were a record number of business and organiza-

tions who participated in the window display. People will enjoy strolling Main Street and peering in to see how each busi-ness or organization por-trayed the theme, “Back in the Day.”

Sunday’s annual Car Show on Main Street is expected to be a hit, as there were a great num-ber of those who signed up for the event.

There were 70 entries for the Beta Sigma Phi Arts and Crafts Show, which is also a record number.

They will be set up on the front lawn of the Bureau County Courthouse.

Makransky thanked the city for all their support. She said they do a ter-rific job with handling the necessary things like bar-ricades, safety cones and street cleanup after the event.

“We’re really appreciate of our partnership with the city. It’s been a ter-rific partnership, and we really are grateful,” she said. “We couldn’t do it without everyone’s help.”

On a last note, Makran-sky encourages everyone to show their support for the Homestead event by purchasing 50/50 tickets for the raffle. There will be volunteers strolling Main Street all weekend long selling the tickets; the winner will be drawn on Sunday. The cost is $1 for a ticket or $5 for six tickets.

“Please consider buying tickets to help keep this event a success,” she said.

Logan Junior High School accepts ALS ChallengePRINCETON — Students of Logan Junior High School

were challenged for the ALS bucket challenge. Using the slogan, “a little change can make a big difference.” students collected change this past week.

Each grade level was challenged to raise $100. For each $100 the grade level donated, one teacher would accept the chal-lenge.

It’s difficult to believe it’s already Home-stead Festival weekend in just a few days. Wow! It seems like just yesterday I was sit-ting curbside watching that great parade and participating in many other weekend activities.

I hope you take advantage of this great hometown festival, filled with a variety of activities for people of all ages. Check out our Homestead Festival special section in today’s paper to get a glimpse of some of the fun.

As you visit some of the attractions during the week-end, please remember it took many people a ton of hours — not to mention a mountain of energy and effort — to pull off these events.

And for those of you who will be participating in your class reunions: I hope you have the time of your lives. Enjoy every minutes with your friends from yes-teryear. You’ll be glad you did.

Happy Homestead Festival to everyone!

I always enjoy hearing about businesses or people in the area who deliver great customer service. Some-times a simple please or thank you really goes a long way to promote return business and good references. Following are a few Customer Service Kudos I have recently received:

• Lori said, “Kudos to Andy and Brad Kunkel of Andy’s Karpet Kleaning Service. They came to my res-cue after I accidentally spilled deck stain on my beige carpet. They arrived within 20 minutes, after my fran-tic call, and the stain is completely gone.”

• Linda said, “After reading a story a few months back about the Farmer’s Table restaurant in LaMoille, we decided to take a ride there to have breakfast a few weeks ago. I have to say the article you wrote was spot-on, and the food and service was wonderful. On top of that, we felt like we were eating at a friend’s house. Now, that’s customer service!”

• Dan said, “I was shopping at Sullivan’s the other day and forgot one of the items my wife sent me in to get. I’m walking with a cane after a knee surgery, and when I told the clerk at the register I had forgotten something, she went and got the item for me. Kept me out of hot water with the wife! I didn’t get the girl’s name, but it was much appreciated.”

Tickets for our annual Women of Distinction Awards luncheon are on sale, and quite frankly, they’re going fairly fast. The event is set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 16 at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby. Seating is limited, so if you plan on attend-ing, you’ll want to get your tickets as soon as possible. You can use the order form in today’s newspaper or just stop by the BCR office at 800 Ace Road, Princeton.

The event will be a ton of fun, where we’ll honor this year’s six Women of Distinction Award winners, have a delicious luncheon, hear keynote speaker Kathy O’Malley from the WGN Kathy and Judy Show, and have the chance to win a myriad of door prizes. You’ll have a great time! Hope to see you there!

Lions Clubs offers much ... to manyTo the Editor,

The Princeton Lions Club has been involved in the city of Princ-eton and Bureau County area for 89 years this October. We are proud to be one of the oldest clubs in the world. The Lions Club was established in 1917 in Chicago in response to social club peer pres-sure and the desire to protect our country from the impending war to end all wars. The Lions Club received a new direction in 1925 when Helen Keller asked the Lions to be Knights of the Blind and Deaf. This new direction gave the orga-nization a worldwide purpose that has morphed into a health care facilitation program.

Many social clubs were used to improve a person’s or family’s social status. In many cases, a busi-ness would attempt to promote themselves as being the preferred business for a particular social club. The Lions Club was constructed from several social clubs who agreed to a few basic principles. One such principle was that no member should expect personal or financial gain from membership. This and the other basic ideas have been strictly adhered to by Lions Clubs nationwide.

The Princeton club has estab-lished a pattern of raising money to help those who are overlooked by the state and federal assistance pro-grams for eyeglasses and hearing aids. The monies raised that are not used are given to several agencies that serve the community such as nursing homes, the scouting pro-grams and the area food pantries. This means that our fundraising budget begins and ends with a zero amount.

Twice a year, we work to raise money for three Lions Blind and Deaf camps in Illinois. The collec-tion dates coincide with the meat sale dates at Sullivan’s Grocery, and we are very grateful for the opportunity given to us by Sulli-van’s Grocery. There are two camps for the blind and hear impaired children and one camp for adults. The children, many who have been recently inflicted, get to experience a summer camp environment that

teaches beginning sign language and other communication skills. The one-day open house during the week-long camp is a very rewarding experience for visitors and campers.

The Lions Clubs in 209 countries all over the world are active in pro-viding care locally and internation-ally. The polio vaccine was distrib-uted with the aid of Lions Clubs. There are only three countries in the world that still have polio inflic-tions. The measles epidemic is rapidly diminishing with the facili-tation of Lions Clubs which provide the means to deliver vaccines to children and adults.

The Lions Clubs have been and continue to be a valuable resource for the world and our local commu-nities. In 1925, the Princeton area proudly joined the Lions fraternity of caregivers. We serve with com-passion and diligence, and we are grateful for all the support we are blessed with by our fellow Princeto-nians.

Lewis Bodamer, Princeton Lions Club president

Widmark to appear at Homestead FestivalTo the Editor,

Back in the day, Princeton’s own Richard Widmark was a pretty big Hollywood movie star.

President of the PHS Class of 1932, Widmark went on to star in more than 70 movies between 1947 and 1991. A versatile actor, he attracted a worldwide following of fans.

This year’s Homestead Festival, with the theme “Back in the Day,” features several Widmark-related events.

At 9 p.m. Friday, “The Trap,” a 1959 movie starring Widmark, Lee J. Cobb, Tina Louise, Earl Holliman and Lorne Greene, will be shown at the Apollo Theater.

Hollywood-style searchlights will pierce the evening skies before the Apollo shows its first Widmark film in nearly a quarter century. It’s an event not to be missed.

People who wear Rediscover Richard Widmark T-shirts to the movie will be admitted free of charge. Shirts, by the way, will be sold Friday through Sunday on the

lawn between the Prouty Building and the Apollo, and near the front of the theater before Friday night’s movie.

On Saturday and Sunday at the Prairie Arts Center, a Widmark exhibit and the showing of a docu-mentary are planned from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

A prelude to the weekend events will be the monthly Widmark Wednesday movie at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Princeton Public Library.

I would like to thank Homestead Festival committee members for their support, as well as members of our fantastic Widmark Centennial Committee.

I encourage the public to take this opportunity to celebrate Widmark’s connection to Princeton during the 100th anniversary year of his birth.

For more information, please visit our Rediscover Richard Widmark Facebook page.

As I’m sure many people did, I believed that what I was bringing was acceptable. Who would have thought plastic bags were not accepted? The printed list will help. Thanks for providing the service.

Comets answer Tigers’ first strike

By Kevin [email protected]

STERLING — Kai Tomaszewski got Saturday night’s football game off with a bang, racing 95 yards on the game’s open-ing kickoff for a quick six against host Sterling Newman.

The Tigers spent the rest of the half, however, chasing the Comets. The Class 2A defending Com-ets scored six unanswered touchdowns in the first half to go up 36-6 and added one more score early in the third quarter en route to a 44-21 victory at Roscoe Eades Stadium in a Three Rivers Confer-ence crossover.

Tomaszewski, who came over from soccer this year, hit the line at the 20-yard line, bounced off down the left sidelines and was off to the races. It was a stunning blow to the Newman faithful in

attendance.While veteran Newman coach

Mike Papoccia called it a “kick right between the eyes,” it proved to be

just the kick-start the Comets needed.

The Comets answered deci-sively, racking up 44 straight points on seven touchdowns on the strength of a running game that racked up 316 yards

on 54 carries.Brady Rude, a four-time

medal winner in track this spring, led the Comets’ attack with 147 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown.

He also recovered a Princ-eton fumble in the endzone for a touchdown that gave Newman a 28-6 lead late in the second quarter.

Nolan McGinn got the Comets on the board first with a 13-yard TD to tie the

game with 8:30 left in the first quar-ter. He closed the first quarter with a 3-yard run and took in the con-version to make it 20-6.

The Comets played beat the clock,

scoring on an eight-yard TD pass from Logan Whitman to Shayne Allen with six seconds left in the half. Dillan Heffelfinger added the conversion run to make it 36-6 at the half.

PHS (1-1) surrendered a 25-yard touchdown run by Rude early in the third quarter but did not allow another point the rest of the way.

Junior quarterback Jacob Rein-hardt struck twice for the Tigers in the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdown throws.

He hooked up with Levi Bates for an 8-yard TD toss on the left side with Jett Wedekind diving inside the right pylon for the conversion to make it 44-14 at the 11:00 mark.

Tigers feelthe energy

By Kevin [email protected]

TISKILWA — Dave Gray thought his Princeton Tiger soccer team looked dead in the water in Thurs-day’s 3-1 loss to Alleman. On Saturday, they made a big splash.

The Tigers rebounded nicely Saturday with a 3-1 win over regional rival Earlville/Leland on the Tiskilwa soccer pitch. Tan-ner Kuhne had two goals for the Tigers, and Gar-rett Duffin added another, all in the first half for the Tiger win.

“We talked a lot Friday and this morning about coming out with energy. The other day we were just flat,” Gray said. “We didn’t talk about tactics and technical stuff. Just come out with energy, and the other stuff will follow.

“It (energy) makes a big difference. There’s still

some things to clean up, but it was definitely head-ed in a better direction than Thursday.”

Kuhne was a mighty mite for the Tigers. He got the Tigers on the board with an assist from Garrett Duffin. He followed that up with another score on an assist from Star Mecum.

“Tanner is a good little player,” Gray said. “He can keep the ball. His move-ment was really good today. He was passing well to his teammates. He was involved in at least one of the combinations that led to one of his goals.”

The Red Raiders closed to 2-1, but Duffin answered unassisted to give the Tigers a 3-1 cushion at halftime that they would ride all the way through 80 minutes of play.

Gray said the Tigers real-ly worked well as a team

James Armstrong will perform on SaturdayPRINCETON — Guitar-

ist, singer and songwriter James Armstrong will per-form from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Alexander Park in Princeton.

Armstrong was born to play the blues. His mother was a blues singer and his father played jazz guitar. He formed his first band when he was in seventh grade and by the age of 17 he was touring the coun-try. In his 20s, he was the youngest guitar player to play in Smokey Wilson’s legendary band. Then, just as he was about to tour with his critically acclaimed first album “Sleeping With A Stranger,” tragedy

struck. The events sur-rounding a home invasion left Armstrong without the use of his left hand and arm, including per-manent nerve damage. This threatened to end his career forever. But, thanks to the support of friends, fans and the blues com-munity, Armstrong came back two years later with his second album, “Dark Night.”

Armstrong’s skill as a performer has not gone unnoticed by filmmakers. Several of his songs have been chosen for movie soundtracks. “Bank of Love” was used in “Hear No Evil” with Martin Sheen and Marlie Matlin.

“Two Sides to Every Story” is featured in “Speechless” with Micheal Keaton and

Geena Davis, also in “The Florentine” with Jeremy Davies and Luke Perry.

Julia McCutchan is this year’s grand marshalMcCutchan to lead

the Homestead Festival parade

By Terri [email protected]

PRINCETON — When it comes to the choice of who will be the grand marshal of the annual Homestead Festival parade, the selection of Julie McCutchan was a natural one. After all, McCutchan has been a steadfast icon in the community for several years, and her volunteerism and her love of this area are second to none.

But also typical of Julie McCutchan is her humble attitude toward the honor.

“I enjoy people, and I love Princ-eton. I’m really honored to be the grand marshal, but I just think there are so many people who have done more,” McCutchan said.

But Deb Vrana, who along with husband, Mike, are the Homestead Festival Steering Committee’s lead couple, said she along with the rest of the committee believe McCutchan was the perfect grand marshal to head up the parade and represent all the Homestead Festival encom-passes.

“The committee felt she was truly a worthy recipient. She has donated countless hours to making our com-munity a better place to live,” Vrana said. “She is a dedicated citizen, and she’s given herself to various organi-zations throughout the years.”

McCutchan was born in Chicago and attended elementary school in Palos Park; she graduated from Lyons Township High School in 1954, before earning a bachelor’s of science degree in home econom-ics from Iowa State University in 1958. She taught home economics at Princeton High School from 1958 to 1962. Until 2004, McCutchan worked part time at Bureau Valley Veterinary Service with her late husband, Dr. Harold McCutchan. She is the moth-er of five children — Ron, Jon and David, all of Princeton; Thomas, who lives in Mahomet; and Deanna, who

resides in Chicago. She is the proud grandmother and great-grandmoth-er to nine grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

McCutchan is a life-long mem-ber of the First United Methodist Church, where she has been part of United Methodist Women, the choir, the church’s finance commit-tee, the media team and is a former Sunday School teacher. Addition-ally, McCutchan has been part of the Emmaus community, the DeKalb District United Methodist Women’s mission team and has been a past board secretary of Church Women United.

Her community contributions don’t stop with her church.

McCutchan has been a Prairie Arts Council member and a past Prai-rie Arts Council Board of Directors member. She is a Festival 56 patron and host family. McCutchan was awarded the 2014 Patron of the Arts by the Prairie Arts Council.

She has also been involved with the GFWC Women’s Club and District 16 American Veterinary Medical Associ-ation Auxiliary. McCutchan has also been active in the Friends in Coun-cil for more than 35 years. She has been part of the Professional Home Economists of Bureau County and Bureau County Home and Commu-nity Education, and she has volun-teered countless hours at The Closet.

During her free time, McCutchan

enjoys cooking and traveling, and she is well known for many of her culi-nary creations. She claims to “dab-ble” in gardening and sewing and likes to participate in trivia nights with her family.

McCutchan said she enjoys her volunteerism for a variety of reasons.

“I just think (volunteering) is fun. I enjoy people, and I think especially since I’ve been a widow, I like to be out and about. I have time to do this stuff; my kids are grown. Everybody has something they fill their day with, so this is what I do,” she said.

Regarding the upcoming Home-stead Festival, McCutchan said she always enjoys seeing the reunion groups, the parade and the food.

“I just enjoy the festivities and the history of the festival too, especially all the traditions and the Lovejoy Homestead and the Princeton heri-tage,” she said.

Julie’s son, Ron McCutchan said, “Mom was always involved with so many organizations. Like so many so-called ‘retired persons,’ Mom’s only gotten busier, as she’s added more volunteer opportunities on top of ‘Grandma’ duties. Our family is thrilled that Mom is being recog-nized this summer for her quiet com-mitment to the community and her very active support for causes she values.
