Search is on for Illinois’ outstanding senior volunteer

Every day, Illinois senior volunteers generously give their time and service to help others. Here’s your chance to give back by nominating a deserving older adult in your community for his or her outstanding service through the Salute to Senior Service program.

Sponsored by Home Instead Inc., the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network, Salute to Senior Service recognizes the invaluable contributions of adults age 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.

“Seniors have so much to give and make a positive impact on our communities daily,” said Christine Schouten, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving LaSalle, Bureau, Putnam and Grundy counties. “Senior volunteerism not only benefits oth-ers, but also helps seniors stay active and socially engaged in their communities – important elements of healthy aging.”

Members of the community are asked to nominate and vote for these everyday heroes up until March 1,

at SalutetoSeniorService.com. State winners will be determined by popular vote. A panel of senior care experts will then select a national Salute to Senior Service winner from among the state honorees.

Home Instead Inc. will donate $500 to each of the state winners designated and approved nonprofit organizations, and their personal stories will be shared online on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national win-ners designated and approved nonprofit charity.

To complete and submit an online nomination form for a senior age 65 or older who volunteers at least 15 hours a month, and to view the contest’s official rules, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com. Completed nomina-tion forms can alternatively be mailed to Salute to Senior Service, P.O. Box 285, Bellevue, NE 68005.

For more information about Salute to Senior Service or the Home Instead Senior Care network’s services, call your local Home Instead Senior Care at 815-223-7970.

BBB reminds consumers to use care when vacation planning

CHICAGO — As freezing temperatures continue, many people are looking for relief by planning vacations. The Better Business Bureau serving Chica-go and northern Illinois (BBB) advises consumers to use care when making plans through travel agencies, as you should whenever pre-paying any busi-ness for a service or product.

Written complaints about travel agencies remain steady. However, the BBB reports con-sumer inquiries about travel agencies were significantly higher in 2013 than they were in 2012. Inquiries for 2013 totaled to 3,685 compared to 2,324 from 2012, or an increase of 59 percent.

The Better Business Bureau offers these tips when booking with a travel agency:

• Compare services and do

not feel pressured. Be wary if you feel pressured to make an immediate decision or if there is a statement that an offer is good “only if you act now.” Compare the services, fees and travel costs from a number of travel agencies before selecting the most attractive package.

• Be cautious about telephone, letter or postcard solicitations. Be careful of travel solicitations claiming you’ve won a “free” trip, or can get “special dis-counts” on hotels and airfares. Pay with a credit card. You can get some protection when using a credit card to purchase travel services. If you don’t get what you paid for, contact the credit card company and attempt to get the charges cancelled.

• Consider investing in trav-el insurance. Travel insurance can provide protection in the

event of an accident, an illness, lost luggage or a cancelled or interrupted trip.

Read the insurance contract to understand coverage and exclusions. Investigate trip cancellation policies and deter-mine what they cover to see if they would be worthwhile to purchase the insurance. Always check the business first. Check out the reputation of the travel agency before doing business with them. Check out free BBB Business Reviews for valuable information.

• Get it in writing. Don’t rely on verbal promises from a travel service. Request copies of any brochures and contracts before purchasing your trip package, or making any reservations.

For more information on consumer and travel tips, visit www.bbb.org.

Corned beef and cabbage anyone?

The BCR is working on an upcoming page about St. Patrick’s Day.

The page, which will be a fun-filled exposé on this holi-day, will include a listing of area restaurants that will be serving corned beef and cabbage. Please send the name of your restaurant, the hours and days you’ll be serving, and what your corned beef and cabbage meal includes. Email that information to BCR Copy Editor Sarah Maxwell at [email protected] or call Maxwell at 815-875-4461, ext. 228.

Also, is your establishment serving green beer? If so, give BCR Staff Writer Goldie Currie a call at 815-875-4461, ext. 236. We want to know how you make those cold ones green!

Notice ofRetirement

Rosemary Valencia, M.D.600 E. First StreetSpring Valley, IL

(815) 664-2630

Dr. Rosemary B. Valencia will be retiring from her pe-diatric practice effective on March 21st. Parents are encouraged to

contact the office by February 28th by calling 815-664-2630 and leave a message to make arrangements for the transfer of their child’s records.


‘The Dogs and I’The whole world is

your living room.That’s how it feels

sometimes because you don’t know any better place for relaxing than the outdoors. With a shady tree as your easy chair, birdsong as your music, and your dog nearby, you could be outside 24/7.

You and your furry best friend do every-thing together: hunt-ing, fishing, exploring, observing. And in the new book “The Dogs and I” by Kenny Salw-ey, you’ll see that man + dog + outdoors = a pretty good life.

When Kenny Salwey was about 4 years old, he was attacked by a dog — in a good way. The pooch’s name was Brownie, and Salwey remembers coming around the corner of his parents’ house as Brownie knocked him to the ground and “thoroughly washed my face, which no doubt needed it anyway.” That was the first dog Salwey remembers lov-ing, but Brownie was far from the last.

Rover was 6-year-old Salwey’s first hunting pal. It Salwey’s job to rid the farm of feed-destroying sparrows, and Rover was good at flushing them out. He was also a good fish-ing companion on lazy summer afternoons, as Salwey remembers.

Teddy, who joined the family later, was a coddled Mama’s boy and Salwey’s mother encouraged it by fuss-ing over the dog. Then along came Pepper,

who lived up to his spicy name. Pepper sure made a fine squirrel dog, though.

Once he got out of the Army in the 1960s, Sal-wey — who missed life “on the lovely little farm tucked away back in the hill country” — got a dog as soon as he could. Old Spook was almost a throwaway, but he became a once-in-a-life-time dog for Salwey: they were hunting compan-ions, fishing buddies, and “inseparable” best friends for 16 years. It broke Sal-wey’s heart when Spook died but “Old Spook helped me better under-stand the great Circle of Life.”

Spike followed Spook, and fish-retrieving Joey Girl came afterward. There was Spider, Travis and Webster before the travel bug bit the Salweys and they decided against having another pooch. Traveling was a dream come true, but coming and going is hard on a pup.

Still, what’s a River Rat without his swamp dog?

While it’s true that any-body can read “The Dogs and I,” there’s no doubt in my mind that out-doorsy teens — particu-

larly, maybe, boys — will love this book best.

That’s because author Kenny Salwey speaks the language of a lover of the land. Salwey’s words are thoughtful and earth-kind, evoking old-time sentiments mixed with modern sustainability. Every duck or pheasant hunter who owns this book will think of his favorite hunting spot as he reads; every fisherman will recognize the feeling of knowing something’s been hooked; and both will remember their own four-legged companions, without whom the sport is just no fun.

I think outdoorsmen (and women) ages 13 to 17 will love this book, and they can easily share it with their dads and granddads, too. For hunt-ers, fishers, and lovers of Labs, “The Dogs and I” is a world of good reading.

Sometimes the market reacts poorly to changes in the world. But just because the market reacts doesn’t mean you should.

Library CornerBCGS

is now a FamilySearch

affiliate library

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Gene-alogical Society is reminding the public that it is a FamilySearch affiliate library.

The designation means library patrons will have greater and more con-venient access to the wealth of genealogi-cal resources available through FamilySearch.

FamilySearch is the world’s largest reposi-tory of free genealogi-cal records and man-ages the famous Fam-ily History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has amassed billions of birth, marriage, death, census, land, and court records of genealogical significance from more than 130 countries.

FamilySearch is extending access to its collections by circulat-ing microfilms of the historic records through select public libraries. The Bureau County Genealogical Society is now one of those libraries. It is a price-less resource for local residents interested in discovering their family trees.

Since only a small por-tion (less than 5 percent) of the world’s genealogi-cal records are online, researchers can easily access FamilySearch’s extensive collection by traveling no farther than the BCGS Library at 629 S. Main St. in Princeton.

There is a nominal fee payable to FamilySe-arch to cover rental and mailing when ordering a microfilm. Patrons can search the Family History Library Catalog online at http://www.FamilySearch.org to see what records are avail-able. Orders must be placed from home using a credit card. Once the film arrives at BCGS, patrons will use the microfilm readers there to view it. Assistance will be available from the library’s staff.

For more information, call the Bureau County Genealogical Society at 815-879-3133 or 815-303-7386, or email ques-tions to [email protected].

Nickname: Rip or Zachers.School: Princeton High school.Date/place of birth: Aug. 11,

1995.Hometown: Princeton.Family: Mom, Sandy Hicks; dad,

Egan Hicks; sisters, Arraia and Tristan.

Sports: Golf, basketball, tennis.Favorite sport and why: To

play would be golf. It’s definitely the hardest, because there’s so many different factors to consider when you play. To watch would be hockey, because there’s much action and all of the big hits.

Likes: Sports, family, food, pizza, food, nice people, snow days.

Dislikes: Full weeks of school, mean people.

Favorite food and where to get it: Basically the whole Chick- fil-A menu. But locally it would be some sesame chicken from Oriental Gardens.

Person(s) with the greatest influence on my athletic career (and why): My two golf coaches, Mr. Price and Mr. Church. They instilled In me tools and morals that I used on and off the course. Also the they are just some pretty cool, fun, caring guys.

Person with the greatest influence in my life (and why): My parents. My mom was there to tell me good game even if I had 7 bogeys or went 0 for 6 from the field and my dad was also there to tell me how and what I needed to do to adjust my game so I could get better. So they complemented each other well, one with com-passion and one with truth and knowledge.

If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: My golf clubs and some golf balls that float.

Last song I listened to: Piano man by Billy Joel.

People would be surprised to know: I think I am way funnier than I am. Michelle Kelly can eat 40 chicken Mcnuggets way faster than I can.

I stay home to watch: Chicago

Blackhawks or the Golf Channel.When I need luck for a big

game, I: pray to God! Or I watch the Mighty Ducks.

The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): Mikey Kernan – he always says the funniest things; always makes your day.

What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: He actu-ally graduated?

Most embarrassing moment: Running out before a basketball game at Mendota, tripping over the line or Cole Evenson’s ankle (whichever sounds better), and rolled my ankle, I was out of the game before it even started.

Most unforgettable moment: All the memories I have with play-ers and bus rides and big games, or Colby Robbins after hooking a ball out of bound on a par three hits his next shot from the tee box and puts it right in the hole for the most unforgettable par ever.

Ultimate sports fantasy: Win the masters by defeating D.A. Points and Jordan Speith in play-off.

What I would like to do in life: I would love to win the mega mil-lions and help tons of people out. But realistically, I want to study criminal justice and one day own my own driving range and pull a tin cup to get on tour and go pro.

Three words that best describe myself: Sarcastic, un-athletic, blessed.
