B1-2 CHILLICOTHE IVC Board approves tax abatement resolution The Illinois Valley Cen- tral District 321 Board of Education approved a reso- lution to abate taxes levied for the 2017 fiscal year at its meeting Tuesday, Jan. 23. The unanimous tax abatement vote will allow the board to use $350,000 from its County School Fa- cilities Sales Tax revenue to offset a potential tax rate increase due to a project- ed 1.1 percent decrease in Equalized Assessed Value for 2017. With the abatement, the district aims to maintain its tax rate at approximately $4.71, which is the second lowest in the Peoria area. The board also approved IVC Superintendent Dr. Chad Allison to proceed with the purchase of prop- erty at 1051 N. Second St. The roughly 10-foot-wide area is between the Ameri- can Legion Post 9 and the Learning Center. “It maintains the Ameri- can Legion fence as our boundary,” Allison said. “I think it gives us the ability to do a little bit more with our kids once they are back outside.” The cost of the prop- erty came in just under $3,000. Prior to the approvals, board members discussed in detail participation con- cerns regarding junior high girls basketball. “It’s really a numbers concern. Mossville had re- ally low numbers,” Allison said. This season, Mossville had 17 girls in the basket- ball program. Of the 17, eight were fifth graders, three were sixth graders, one seventh grader and five were eighth graders. “For the seventh-grade team, that means for us, we had to use our fifth, sixth and seventh graders which was 12 girls at Mossville,” Allison said. “Unfortunately then, and almost the same problem we are seeing at the varsity level, is that those girls have to turn around — sixth and seventh graders — and play in the eighth-grade game. Much like at the high school, we have girls playing eight quarters, which isn’t good for anyone. It’s not good for those girls and it’s not good for the program.” CEC also experienced similar low numbers. Al- lison pointed out with the one seventh-grade player at Mossville, the situation will maintain itself next year and potentially for years to come. “We are looking at op- tions,” Allison said. “We want to be competitive, but we want to develop these kids because we need more numbers than this to have a program.” In other discussion, IVC Assistant Superintendent Adam Bussard presented the board with new infor- mation about the new evi- dence-based school funding model.

Those are the selections of the radio sta- tion of choice for the park workers who are in the final weeks of a $40,000 restoration project to re- turn the historic build- ing’s ballroom to its turn- of-the-20th-century glory and charm. 2018 meets 1974, meets 1915, on the western shore of the icy Illinois River. “(The Shore Acres Club- house) is a special place to a lot of people of Chilli- cothe,” said Kevin Yates, director of the park dis- trict. The restoration project has been ongoing for years, dating back to 1996 when it was listed on the Na- tional Register of Historic Places, the only building in Chillicothe with that distinction. Several years ago the entranceway and parlor were restored to an original 1915 look complete with a new tin ceiling and thick old-timey carpeting in the foyer and up the stairs to the second level. The ballroom renovation is the latest, but not the last phase of the long-range project. “We’ll try to do some- thing every year, even if it is improvements that the public don’t really get a chance to see,” Yates said. The tin ceiling will soon replace the entire dropped ceiling above the entire ballroom. An original chandelier has been re- stored, rewired and refit- ted to use LED lighting making it more efficient and much brighter. The room’s large fireplace is being remade to be func- tional as a fireplace for the first time since the 1940s. The original wood floors are being buffed to shine like new. The wood trim is being returned to a uni- form look throughout the room. “We’ve kept up with re- pairs and replacements through years but often with donated items like ceiling panels and lighting fixtures,” Yates said. “But this is different. This time it is all being done to make it historically correct.” The building with the majestic four-columned entrance and front porch was built by the Peoria Au- tomobile Club in 1915. “The Peoria Automobile Club, when constructed, contained ample room for parties with a main din- ing room, several private dining rooms and sleep- ing rooms. Social events such as dances and parties were frequently held. Dur- ing the 1920s and 1930s, many sororities and frater- nities from Bradley Uni- versity held their formals and Christmas dances in the Club House, traveling up the river road in their automobiles such as Win- tons, Packards, Chandlers, and even a Duesenberg,” reads the nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places. “Picnics under the trees and catered dinners were common. The Park was a popular place for river steamers to land excursion parties.” Park district voters ap- proved purchase of the building and park in 1948. It is well-used today with more than 90 paid events and rentals during the 52 weekends of 2017. Workers are under a strict deadline to have the ballroom ready for public showing by Feb. 10, the date of this year’s Eagle Day’s celebration spon- sored by the Lions and Rotary clubs of Chillicothe and the Chillicothe Park District. “I can’t say enough about the work of our district employees and the exper- tise they bring to the job,” Yates said. “We wouldn’t be able to do this with- out their hard work and dedication to the city and the job.” — Scott Hilyard can be reached at 686-3244 or by email at shilyard@pjstar. com.

For those that have not been following this case, I’ll provide a little background. FLM is a company that would like to develop a gravel pit just west of Chilli- cothe on the south side of Truitt. Besides being a less than desirable neighbor to our residents in this area of town, it would drastically impede the city’s growth to the west. This case has been going on for a few years; most recently, the judge that was overseeing it has been replaced. Due to this event, FLM was able to re-state their case, which they did on Jan. 8. So, now it’s our turn to file a reply. This reply will be pre- sented during a hearing scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 10 a.m., in the Peoria County Courthouse, Room 203. It would benefit our case if as many people attend as possible to im- press the new judge of just how important this is to us. If you’re concerned, please try to attend. If you haven’t heard Casey’s is relocating! Cur- rently, they are located in the west part of town, on the corner of Truitt and Bradley.

Chillicothe’s Shore Acres Club house gets historic makeoverBy Scott HilyardGateHouse Media Illinois
The soundtrack to the working hours inside Chillicothe Park District’s clubhouse these days is straight up Classic Rock — Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger. Those are the selections of the radio sta-tion of choice for the park workers who are in the final weeks of a $40,000 restoration project to re-turn the historic build-ing’s ballroom to its turn-of-the-20th-century glory and charm.
2018 meets 1974, meets 1915, on the western shore of the icy Illinois River.
“(The Shore Acres Club-house) is a special place to a lot of people of Chilli-cothe,” said Kevin Yates, director of the park dis-trict.
The restoration project has been ongoing for years, dating back to 1996 when it was listed on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places, the only building in Chillicothe with that distinction.

“The way I’m acting now is the way I am in sum-mer,” said Susan, 60, who called herself “the poster child” for SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Without the hours of strong sunlight that win-ter months steal, she and other SAD sufferers – an estimated 10 percent of the northern hemisphere’s population – slip into de-pression at levels mild to severe.
“On days like this,” Su-san said as she glanced through her kitchen win-dow at bare fields draped by low, dark clouds, “I’m as lazy as a slug. I don’t feel peppy, don’t feel happy, don’t call friends.”
That’s been the story of her adult life. She was di-agnosed with SAD about 20 years ago, at roughly
the same time the medi-cal community formally recognized the still-mys-terious malady.
Susan (who asked that her last name remain con-fidential) retired several years ago after 20 years as an intensive care nurse at a Peoria hospital. She and her husband tend horses they own and board on their 12-acre complex sev-eral miles southeast of Eu-reka. She loves the place they bought a year ago with the same passion she brought to her high-stress career.
While that work helped energize her through past winters, as fall would set-tle in she’d tell her friends, “I’m sorry, I hibernate, and you won’t hear from me.
“I’m a totally different person in the summer. I’m outside all the time, riding every day,” she said. But on these January morn-ings, “especially on a day like this, I have to men-tally kick myself to do the chores, to get out and feed the horses.”
Two decades ago, “I fi-nally asked myself, what
in the world is wrong with me?” and began looking for answers.
By the early ‘80s, studies had begun to show that some forms of depres-sion – later identified as SAD – were eased with light therapy. Susan’s doc-tor recommended it for her, but its effects were
minimal.That was her fault, at
least in part, she said. She struggled to find the pa-tience “to sit for 20 min-utes hunched over” an oval-domed therapy lamp at her table.
While light therapy has become more focused and refined over the years.
Susan said she treats her SAD with a different ap-proach.
Studies have linked SAD with low levels of Vitamin D, which the skin produces when in contact with light. Susan takes regular, low-level doses of the vitamin in pill form.
It’s a “controversial” form of therapy, she said,
and could be dangerous. “If (vitamin D) is taken too much it becomes toxic.”
Susan said she has bet-ter days than others during winter’s gloom. She knows she should get outside as much as she can, a true ef-fort “on days like this.”
But she knows the chores are waiting and that spring will come.

Got the winter blues? It might be SADBy Michael SmothersPekin Daily Times
Each March in recent years, a TV commer-cial touting the return of spring has featured a neighbor who wanders into a backyard barbeque party in his pajamas and winter coat, dazed and confused as if he’d been hibernating. It was just winter, a friend tells him.
In a real-life setting, his winter funk might have been SAD, and the man literally needs to see the light of day.
Thousands of area people — an estimated 10 percent of the population, here and across the north-ern hemisphere – feel the effects of Seasonal Affec-tive Disorder. They battle symptoms of depression from November to March that range from mild to dangerously severe. SAD symptoms range from lethargy and low con-centration to thoughts of suicide.
The cause of SAD is simple, yet, more than 20 years after it was diag-nosed as a specific disor-der, still a matter of theo-ries.
“It’s how your biology re-sponds to lack of sunlight,” said Dr. Kyla Noghohos-sian, a staff psychiatrist at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria. “Most likely ge-netic factors” are involved, making SAD often an in-herited trait, she said.
The malady, a form of clinical depression, sends at least hundreds of Tazewell and Peoria County residents need-ing help during winter months to psychiatrists and behavioral health care therapists, typically with referrals from their medical doctors.
The area’s two primary health care providers, UnityPoint Health–Methodist and OSF HealthCare, both based in Peoria, treat more than 320 SAD patients each winter, medical officials there said.
Those afflicted often sleep more, eat more and exercise less, struggle with feelings of guilt, lose interest in things they en-joy and display attitudes that cause friction at work and home.
In rough winters like the one central Illinois currently endures, they go outside less often. That only makes their symp-toms worse, Noghohos-sian said.
Many chalk their symp-toms up to the so-called winter blues. “They just think it’s natural,” Nogho-hossian said.
Much of the 200-plus patients she and her fel-low 14 psychiatrists treat at UnityPoint Health–Methodist suffer from other, more serious types of behavior disorder as well as SAD. That mal-ady, however, is present in 15 percent of people
afflicted with depression, she said.
Sonny Pickowitz, OSF’s primary care behavioral health services coordina-tor, said she and her staff of 10 therapists see more than 120 patients from late fall to early spring who typically are referred by their doctors.
In that sense, “We’re kind of the front line” of SAD care providers, Pick-owitz said. “They’ll tell their doctor they’re just not feeling right,” and if the doctors suspect SAD, “they’ll refer them to us.”
Both specialists said the most successful form of treatment for SAD patients is the simplest: More light, specifically
through the use of light therapy lamps that can be purchased without pre-scription.
“Eighty to 90 percent of those who seek treat-ment find relief ” with a programmed use of the lamps, Pickowitz said. Noghohossian said about 70 percent of the often more complex SAD cases her department deals with show marked improve-ment with the therapy.
Pickowitz and her staff work with the patients to “meet them where they are” in their daily lives. “We encourage them to do the things they’ve always liked, take time out for themselves,” even at work, “and find ways to relax.”
Woven into that “cogni-tive restructuring” is time in front of the lamp, on a regular schedule that might coincide with peri-ods in the day when their SAD symptoms feel stron-gest, Pickowitz said.
Because SAD suffer-ers often don’t realize the physiological malady causes the depression and other symptoms they en-dure, the two specialists said many of the patients they see are referred by concerned family mem-bers.
The Tazewell County Health Department of-fers free courses “to teach
people mental health first-aid,” or how people can detect mental health disorders in those close to them and guide them toward treatment, said department spokeswoman Sara Sparkman.
“We have adult and youth sessions to teach people what to look for” in suspected disorders such as SAD, she said.
The department’s next sessions will be held Jan. 31 for adults and on Feb. 22 for teens, both at the department’s offices in Tremont. For more infor-mation, call the depart-ment at 925-5511.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, brings symptoms of depression to an estimated 10 per-cent of people during winter months when their exposure to sunlight diminishes. The disorder has been linked to reduced levels of Vitamin D, which is produced by light’s contact with skin.
Here are symptoms SAD sufferers often experi-ence.• Feeling depressed most of the day, nearly every day• Losing interest in favorite activities• Low energy• Oversleeping and other sleep-related problems • Changes in appetite and weight• Feeling sluggish or agitated• Having difficulty concentrating• Feeling hopeless, worthless or guilty• Having frequent thoughts of death or suicideSource: Mayo Clinic

COLLEGE NOTES
Hawkins earns degree
AMES, Iowa — At Iowa State University’s fall com-mencement ceremonies Dec. 15-16, 2017, 2,286 graduates received de-grees. Iowa State awarded 1,887 undergraduate degrees, 276 master’s de-grees, and 123 doctor of philosophy degrees.
Stephanie Hawkins, of Chillicothe, received a Bachelor of Liberal Stud-ies, Liberal Studies.
“We are just trying to get our arms around the new formula,” Bussard said. “… We are still learning a lot of the nuances of the funding formula.”
One of those nuances, Bussard explained, is a new theory in the formula known as the base funding mini-mum.
“It’s the new floor,” Bus-sard said. “What we received last year, we will receive no less this year. Any new dol-lars that come in through the new funding formula then becomes our new base fund-
ing minimum.”Districts throughout the
state, including IVC, have yet to receive any of the new additional funding. Bussard said some optimists think March or April could be when districts start to see the new money, while pessimists think no new dollars will be seen this fiscal year.
However, “We are still on pace to be getting our base funding minimum — basi-cally, getting the state dollars we got last year,” Bussard said.
The next public meeting of the IVC Board of Educa-tion will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, in the IVC Library.

Between the Lines program focuses on Jackie ChanJoin Illinois Central Col-
lege’s “Between the Lines” program as it explores Jackie Chan and the Western Hero on Monday, Feb. 5, at 2:30 p.m. in Room 212C/D on the East Peoria Campus. Facilita-tor for the discussion is Mar-sha Watson.
Jackie Chan is perhaps the biggest Asian mega-star many Americans have never heard of. If American audiences do recognize his name, it is most often for comedic, martial arts/buddy films such as Shanghai Noon and Rush Hour. West-ern audiences more familiar with Chan’s film work also will recognize him from clas-
sic martial arts films such as Drunken Master I and II or Police Story 3: Supercop. Chan trained from age 10 to perform Peking Opera, and his films portray a type of hero drawn from the conventions of that highly ritualized tradition: co-medic, morally centered, and despite the amazing martial arts feats at the core of his performances, non-violent.
This presentation will ex-amine the characteristics of the heroic tradition in Peking Opera, as performed by Jackie Chan in film, in order to pro-vide the audience with a new lens through which to view the western heroic tradition, as
represented in classic western texts such as Homer’s Iliad and Milton’s Paradise Lost.
“Between the Lines” is a lecture series presented by the faculty members of the English, Humanities and Lan-guage Studies Department at ICC. The goal of the series is to offer literary presentations that will interest students and people in the community, as well as promote reading lit-eracy and scholarly study.
The programs are free and open to the public.

EAST PEORIA
Food pantry provides assistance to ICC studentsBy Pam AdamsGateHouse Media Illinois
Terri Ingles has seen stu-dents take books out of backpacks to make room for food from Illinois Cen-tral College’s food pantry.
“That’s pretty humbling,” said Ingles, coordinator of ICC’s access services and one of the student and staff volunteers who operate the pantry.
Increasingly, colleges across the country are rec-ognizing many students have to make tough choic-es between buying books, school supplies, housing and food. Far too many opt to go without food, ac-cording to the authors of “Hungry and Homeless in College,” a 2017 survey of students at 70 community colleges in 24 states.
ICC’s Intercultural Di-versity Committee recog-nized the need in 2011, when the group started a small, word-of-mouth pantry tucked in a virtually hidden corner of the East Peoria campus. Last year, the pantry came out of the shadows, moving to a more visible location near the main entrance and part-nering with Midwest Food Bank for a steady supply to add to the food and hy-giene products collected during on-campus food drives.
“I definitely appreci-ate it because sometimes it gets hard,” said Isreal “Izzy” Evans, who stocked up with toiletries and food recently before heading to basketball practice. “You can get down to your last little bit of food and then you remember, ‘Oh, yeah, ICC has a food pantry.’ “
Lack of transportation to
a grocery store is also an issue for students who live on campus, Evans added
The pantry’s official hours are 2 to 4 p.m. Mon-days. But staff from the testing services office will open it throughout the week if a student asks.
The pantry was used 175 times last semester, said Tracy Morris, vice presi-dent of student services, cautioning that the figure could include multiple uses by one person. “We’re not equipped to be a full-service food bank,” Morris added, “but we know there are students who need sup-plemental assistance.”
ICC is not alone or un-usual in offering a food pantry for students. Meth-odist College of Nursing recently started a food pantry. The College and University Food Bank Al-liance has grown from 15 members when it started in 2012 to almost 600 this year. The membership list includes many two-year and four-year schools in Illinois, though not ICC.
The national group has grown along with a wide range of efforts to meet students unmet needs, including expanding the National School Lunch Program to higher educa-tion.
Traditional students who once might have been eligi-ble for federally-subsidized free or reduced-price lunch programs in K-12 schools are on their own after high school graduation. “You don’t get a free lunch in college,” Ingles said.
The hunger issue in higher education extends to non-traditional college students, many of whom are working while they
go to school. Baby food is a popular item at ICC’s food pantry, according to Ingles.
Though some stud-ies have found substan-tial numbers of students at four-year universities worry about where their next meal is coming from, the Wisconsin HOPE Lab’s annual “Hungry and Homeless in College” sur-vey focuses on community college students.
The HOPE lab, based at the University of Wiscon-sion-Madison, studies col-lege costs from all angles. The 2017 survey found two
out of three community college students reported some level of “food insecu-rity,” defined as the “limited or uncertain availability” of safe foods “or the ability to acquire such foods in a so-cially acceptable manner.” (About 14 percent were homeless.)
Temple University pro-fessor Sara Goldrick-Rob and other authors of the study link the growing is-sue of hunger and home-lessness on college cam-puses to a dramatic rise in college costs coupled with declining federal re-sources.
The federal Pell Grant, Goldrick-Rob wrote of the financial aid program, cov-ered roughly 80 percent of college costs when it was created in the 1970s, including tuition, fees and living costs. Pell Grants currently cover about 30 percent of total college costs, according to Gol-drick-Rob.
The authors of the HOPE Lab survey acknowledge theirs is not the most rep-resentational sample, but it is the largest so far.
Students who take ad-vantage of ICC’s pantry range from Haliah Offutt,
a budget-conscious graph-ic communications major with a 4.0 grade-point average who gets snacks for the long days on cam-pus, to a working student whose mother died, leaving her to care for two younger siblings.
Usage is not based on income guidelines, but it is based on need.
“We hear the stories,” Morris said. “If we can make it just a little bit easier, that might change a person’s life.”

ICC students Isreal Evans, 21, left, and Taji White, 20, center, pick up food supplies as they stop by Illinois Central College’s food pantry, which is located on their East Peoria Campus. The food pantry program has been running for six years, offering a wide range of items, including soup, pastas, vegetables, fruits, breakfast foods and quick snacks. In the back is ICC Dean of Students Emily Points, who helps volunteer to stock the shelves. Points said that with a student population that deals with high levels of poverty, many students just need food. FRED ZWICKY/GATEHOuSE MEDIA ILLINOIS

Lady Ghosts having ups and downs in new yearSince the start of 2018,
it has been one step for-ward and two steps back for the Illinois Valley Cen-tral varsity girls basketball team.
Idioms aside, the Lady Grey Ghost have compiled a 1-4 record in the new year and have played much bet-ter as of late starting with their 36-31 victory over Illini Prairie Conference
foe Rantoul Jan. 6.Trailing 12-3 after the
first eight minutes, IVC outscored the Lady Ea-gles 10-8 and 16-4 in the second and third periods, respectively. Katie Tiller led IVC with 16 points and went 5-of-7 from behind the arc.
Following their second win of the season over Rantoul, the Lady Grey
Ghosts couldn’t overcome another slow start against conference opponent St. Thomas More Jan. 14. IVC trailed 40-9 at the break and dropped the contest by a score of 57-21.
In their Jan. 15 home game against Olympia, the Lady Ghosts played hard and led 25-24 going into halftime. In the back-and-forth match, the game
was tied headed into the final frame and in a tough fourth quarter, IVC saw its lead slip away before losing 62-53.
Three Grey Ghosts turned in double-digit scoring efforts with Kayla Wolf leading the way with 11 points and Katie Tiller and Mandy Moore notch-ing 10 points apiece.
IVC’s offense never got
going in its 40-22 loss to Pekin Jan. 17. The Lady Grey Ghosts trailed 33-11 heading into the final pe-riod. Jamie Cecil led her team in points with nine and 13 rebounds.
Most recently, as of press time, the Lady Grey Ghosts gave Monticello quite the scare during their game Jan. 20.
Leading 35-33 after
three periods, IVC near-ly upset the 14-2 Sages. However, the final eight minutes were the deciding factor in the Lady Grey Ghosts’ 51-41 defeat, as they were outscored 18-6.
Wolf led the team with 12 points and Jordyn Thomas earned a team-high 10 rebounds. IVC’s record stood at 2-17 fol-lowing the game.
