Every child needs 

security and comfort, 

especially those who 

have experienced a crisis, 

tragedy or the hardships 

of poverty. Local children 

and new mothers are 

finding warmth in homemade 

blankets donated 

by Rita Brummett and 

her local Project Linus 

chapter. 

“It’s a really personally 

rewarding situation 

and you really feel like 

you’re contributing to 

something that’s worthwhile,” 

Brummett said. 

Named after the 

Peanuts cartoon character 

with a love for his 

blanket, Project Linus is a 

charitable organization 

that donates blankets 

nationwide to children 

who experience a crisis 

situation. Over 400 chapters 

have donated nearly 

2.5 million blankets since 

1995. 

Brummett’s 

McDonough/Hancock 

County Chapter has presented 

650 blankets since 

March 1, 2001.

Cinema I and II recently installed 

digital projectors, making it, according 

to manager Larry Jarvis, one of 

the only two-screen theaters around 

to be current on recent technology. 

“It’s the only one I know that has 

it,” he said. 

Cinema I and II, owned by 

Carmike Cinemas, who according to 

Jarvis, is dedicated to putting digital 

projectors in all their movie theaters,

The comfort of 

a blanket 

By Nathan Woodside 

According to John 

Reinert, clinical supervisor 

of North Central 

Behavioral Health 

Systems, Macomb, a 

blanket can bring feelings 

of comfort and safety. 

“Usually when we’re 

trying to get somebody to 

feel safe, we’ll ask them 

to call on memories of 

safety, and a lot of times, 

that’s a quiet, soft, warm 

place,” he said. “A blanket 

could be those 

things.” 

Reinert said children 

could associate a blanket 

with the safety of home. 

“Frequently when children 

are removed from 

their environment, like an 

adoption or in a crisis situation 

like Hurricane 

Katrina, it’s very important 

for children to have 

some semblance of 

home with them,” he 

said. “It reminds them of 

a better place, a quiet, 

safe place.” 

ago. 

“(Carmike Cinemas is) one of the 

companies leading the pack in that 

technology,” Jarvis said. 

The move, Jarvis added, allows 

managers to spend more time on 

“the floor” or helping customers 

rather than being in the movie booth. 

“Once you press start, you don’t 

have to worry about it,” he said. 

“They make running the theater 

much easier.” 

Also, the quality of the projection 

has increased, Jarvis said. Often film 

would get scratched after repeated 

showings.

“The image looks just as good the 

first time it’s played to the last time 

it’s played,” Jarvis said. “The (movie) 

is much sharper, it’s always in focus 

and always in frame.” 

Digital projectors are “the latest” 

technology available. 

“They’re so new, there’s no ... 

directions for how to use them,” 

Jarvis said. 

Behind the scenes, the theater is 

still ironing out the kinks. 

However, the struggles are unbeknownst 

to the audience. 

“We haven’t missed any shows or 

any show times,” Jarvis said.

Industry Village Board 

continues park planning 

By JENNIFER DAVIS 

Eagle Correspondent 

The veteran’s memorial park, which was proposed 

to be named Industry Memorial Park, was first on the 

agenda at the Industry Village Board meeting 

Wednesday, Nov. 7. 

The initial construction plans and drawing of the 

memorial was presented to board members. Two or 

three line bricks will be laid in the formation of an “I” 

for Industry. Anyone in the surrounding community 

may purchase a brick with a loved one’s name. 

Each name will be researched to make sure the veteran 

had an honorable discharge from the service. 

Blank bricks will be used as fillers until all bricks are 

purchased. They will be purchased from India and 

will take four months to arrive from the time they are 

ordered. 

Landscaping will include two large floodlights, 

which will light three flags behind the memorial. A 

walkway will be built in the back for foot traffic. A 

tree near the flags will need to be removed because of 

sap that will damage the flags and the memorial. 

Construction is set to begin in the spring with a 

dedication planned on Veteran’s Day 2008. 

The village board agreed to remove the tree at the 

site. 

In other business: 

• Abandoned properties in Industry were briefly 

discussed. Village Clerk Ruth Harrison said one suggestion 

is to sign such properties over to the village to 

be sold. 

• Semi-truck parking on private property was also 

discussed. The weight of a large rig sinks sidewalks 

over time and can cause water damage to yards. 

Permission has been granted to park on private 

property because there is a city ordinance against 

parking rigs on the street but current sidewalk damage 

must be resolved by the board.

Get ready for the holiday 

season as the 

Macomb Community 

Theatre (MCT) presents 

its take on “A Christmas 

Story.” Based on the timeless 

holiday film, this 

comedy will bring laughter 

and smiles to every 

audience member. All 

will reminisce the good 

old times of Ralphie and 

his quest for the perfect 

Christmas present. 

Of course, everyone 

seems to love the film 

and how can you miss 

the its 24-hour marathon 

on television during 

Christmas Eve. 

Travis Gage is the 

adult Ralph Parker and 

provides the main narration 

about a Christmas in 

1940. He observes himself 

as 9-year-old Ralphie, 

portrayed by Brady 

Smith. 

In Homan, Ind., all 

Ralphie wants for 

Christmas is a Red Ryder 

BB gun. His parents, 

Santa and even his 

teacher band together and 

Ralphie’s dreams are 

instantly shot down when 

he consistently hears the 

most commonly-used 

phrase, “You’ll shoot your 

eye out.” 

Rachel Smith as 

“mother” and Brian Clark 

as “the old man” are 

included in the cast. 

Debuting at MCT, Smith 

should do a magnificent 

job while Clark will 

undoubtedly give a stellar 

performance that 

makes your funny bone 

tickle. 

JoEllen Pensinger also 

serves up a delicious take 

on the stern schoolteacher, 

Miss Shields, creating 

a character reminiscent 

of The Wicked Witch 

of the West. 

Silliness and laughter 

round out a perfect night. 

Aspects from the film are 

around every corner, 

including Easter bunny 

pajamas and the repulsive 

fishnet stocking leg lamp. 

One of the most 

famous scenes, the risky 

dare in which Flick’s 

tongue gets stuck to a 

pole, is also included. 

This classic moment is 

unforgettable and should 

provide some giggles. 

The film’s narration by 

Jean Shepard is transposed 

into the thoughts 

of the adult Ralph, which 

is the appealing aspect of 

th play. 

The narrating character 

is similar to the stage 

manager in “Our Town.” 

Director Lori Botts has 

chosen to divide the 

parts, adding more people 

into the casting mix 

and allotting for various 

in-depth characterizations. 

The other characters 

in the play do not 

actually see the narrator 

but he breaks the wall to 

help set up the stories for 

the audience. 

The set, of course, is 

Community 

You won’t shoot your eye out 

with MCT’s Christmas Classic 

Center 

Stage 

Le 

Alexander 

Laundry, Grocery Shopping, Household Cleaning, Meal Preparation 

somewhat complex, especially 

for a small stage 

that does not allow for 

much movement. The 

intentions set forth by the 

director plan on creating 

an atmosphere that runs a 

smooth performance and 

does not distract from the 

acting. 

The show will be performed 


and Saturday, Nov. 17 at 

7:30 p.m. with a matinée 

at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 

18. Tickets may be purchased 

at the Pat Crane 

Memorial Theatre, 309-

adults, $8 for senior citizens 

and $6 for students. 

Other events:

New British sitcom 

added to WMEC- 

TV/PBS lineup 

WMEC-TV, Macomb’s PBS station, carries a 

number of British sitcoms, including “My Hero” 

and “Last of the Summer Wine,” the world’s 

longest running sitcom. With the latest addition, 

“May to December,” British sitcoms can now be 

seen Monday through Thursday and Saturdays. 

“May to December” is a gentle situation comedy 

concerning a relationship that crosses the generation 

gap. It tells the story of Alec Callender, a widowed 

solicitor in his 50s and Zoe Angell, a teacher 

some 27 years his junior. 

Alec has a typically suburban legal practice but 

privately he wishes he were more like his hero, 

Perry Mason. One day, into his life walks an angel, 

Zoe, who has come to consult him about a divorce. 

On the face of it, an aging widower and a 27-yearold 

physical education teacher should have nothing 

in common. But a mutual love of old musicals 

and a whimsical sense of humor spark a romance 

which surprises not just Alec and Zoe but also the 

entire office staff, his two grown-up children and 

the rest of their families and friends. 

Alec and Zoe fall deeply in love despite seemingly 

endless pitfalls. Can Perry offer Alec any 

advice on how to handle an independent career 

woman of the ‘90s If not, there is plenty of conflicting 

advice from everyone else. “May to 

December” is a charming character-driven series 

that also happens to be funny. 

“May to December” can be seen Saturdays at 

9:30 p.m. and Mondays at 11:30 p.m., on WMEC- 

TV/PBS in Macomb. 

WMEC in Macomb, WQEC in Quincy and WSEC 

in Springfield and Jacksonville are all part of

television and educational services through a

DVD Review 

Watch ‘SiCKO’ and 

call me in the morning 

By EVERETT CRAVEN 

Eagle Staff 

Controversial director Michael Moore’s latest documentary 

“SiCKO” is a film everyone should watch, 

especially if you ever plan on voting. 

The health care system in America is already and 

will continue to be a central issue of the 2008 presidential 

campaign. “SiCKO” may be responsible in no 

small part for the renewed interest in this issue that 

affects all Americans. 

America has a broken health care system. Anyone 

who looks at the data can see it. We are spending more 

than anyone on health care but we are not seeing the 

returns one would expect from such an expenditure of 

treasure. But just looking at the data - our lousy infant 

mortality rate, life expectancy and cancer survival 

rates - will not typically move you. The facts can reach 

the analytical side of your brain but it takes a real talent 

like Moore to find a presentation that can stir your 

soul. 

“SiCKO” is, by far, the single best film I’ve seen this 

year. 

Moore, untrue to form, avoids the strictly polemical 

aspects of his previous blockbusters (“Fahrenheit 

9/11,” “Bowling For Columbine”) and focuses on the 

human, the slice of life and the anecdotal. “SiCKO” is 

comprised mostly of testimonials of personal experience. 

Much of them are experiences with our system 

but the most compelling aspects of this movie are the 

stories of people’s experiences with other health care 

systems abroad. 

In the film we visit Canada, Great Britain, France 

and, finally, Cuba to see how those countries have 

managed to guarantee universal health care despite 

their “apparent” economic inferiority to the United 

States. The most revealing scenes show the faces of 

foreigners responding to Moore’s questions of “and 

how much does a patient have to pay for that” with 

smiles, laughter and responses that amount to basically 

the same thing: “Are you kidding It’s free.” 

Of course their health care isn’t free. It’s paid for 

with higher taxes. But who wouldn’t gladly pay a 

higher tax rate for guaranteed coverage I most certainly 

would. I essentially do already. It’s called a premium. 

This film is incredibly moving. When I wasn’t infuriated 

at the greed and lack of compassion inherent in 

the American health care model, I was occasionally, I 

might add, moved to tears - movies make me cry more 

than real life. There is a particularly wrenching scene 

of solidarity between a firefighting squad in Havana, 

Cuba and a few people who developed severe health 

conditions from working at Ground Zero. 

If you have heard over and over about the supposed 

evils of socialized medicine - “red meat” at GOP 

debates - you are gently encouraged to rent this DVD. 

If you are familiar with Moore’s previous movies or 

his reputation, don’t assume you know what this 

movie will be like. It is unlike his other movies in very 

good ways. 

I whole-heartedly recommend this movie to everyone.

DVD Recommendations 

By LE ALEXANDER 

Eagle Correspondent 

Top Recommendation: 

In the ultimate numbers game, 13 versus one is a 

reoccurring theme in “Ocean’s Thirteen.” This fastpaced 

action film puts audience members at the edge 

of their seats in anticipation of Danny Ocean’s next 

move. 

The third installment of Steven Soderbergh’s super 

slick heist brings the return of Ocean (George 

Clooney) and his entourage to pull off yet another celebrated 

caper. One of the original 11, Reuben Tishkoff 

(Elliott Gould), is in a coma and his fantasy of becoming 

one of the biggest businessmen on the Vegas 

strip is interrupted when Willie Bank (Al Pacino) takes 

all of Reuben’s money in order to conquer the area. 

The crew comes together to take down Bank and triumph. 

Although the storyline becomes more complicated, 

this version is better than the sequel but not as good 

as the original. While it has the heart-racing and hairrising 

action, there are moments where a lack of tension 

is created, though the momentum continues to 

accelerate at an exciting pace. 

Clooney and Brad Pitt maintain their usual chemistry 

and highlight a majority of the film. Perhaps one 

of the downfalls, though, is without a powerful actress 

like Julia Roberts, the film is male-heavy. 

Also starring Matt Damon, Al Pacino, Casey Affleck 

and Bernie Mac; PG-13. 

Other releases: 

• “Shrek The Third,” starring the voices of Mike 

Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy; PG. 

• “Amazing Grace,” starring Ioan Gruffudd, Albert 

Finney and Michael Gambon; PG. 

• “Urban Justice,” starring Steven Seagal and 

Eddie Griffin; R.

Nationally-known 

musicians Bob Bovee and 

Gail Heil will bring their 

wide repertoire of old 

time country music to the 

Hickory Ridge 

Coffeehouse Concert 

Series on Saturday, Nov. 

17 at 7:30 p.m. 

Performing on guitar, 

banjo, harmonica and fiddle, 

this award-winning 

duo combines square 

dance tunes, cowboy 

songs, blues, ragtime, 

novelty numbers and 

yodels into an engaging 

evening of old time fun. 

Since 1980 Bovee and 

Heil have traveled the 

country together, taking 

old time music to audiences 

of all ages at festivals, 

fairs, concerts, 

dances, schools, libraries, 

music camps and radio 

and TV programs. This is 

rural music as played in 

homes, at dances and for 

earlier entertainments, 

such as minstrel shows 

and country radio. 

Originally from 

Nebraska, Bovee has 

been performing since 

1970. Heil was born in St. 

Louis and has been playing 

since 1976 but they 

make their home in 

southeastern Minnesota. 

They are as much musical 

historians as performers, 

presenting the early 

development of country 

music from the 1850s to 

the 1940s in a lively toetapping 

show. 

The Dickson Mounds 

gift shop will be open

“New Tools for a New 

Planning” is the topic for 

the Wednesday, Nov. 14 

Geography Awareness 

Week presentation on computer-based 

tools. 

Richard Klosterman, 

professor emeritus of planning, 

geography and urban 

studies at the University of 

Akron, will deliver the 

presentation at 7:30 p.m. in 



Every year more 

and more people 

have volunteered 

their time and financial 

resources to the 

Project Santa 

Program and every 

year we need every 

bit of these expressions 

of generosity,” 

WIRC Executive 

Director Suzan Nash. 

Morgan Hall 109. 

Klosterman will discuss 

the evolution of planners’ 

conceptions of their professional 

roles over the last 20 

years and the role GISbased 

planning support 

systems (PSS) can play in 

new conceptions of community-based 

planning. 

Klosterman, who is also 

the president and CEO of 

“It’s all in the magic 

and you made it for 

us,” read the thank you 

card from a mother 

whose family participated 

in the Project 

Santa Program. 

After 24 years, the 

Project Santa Program 

continues to bring a 

happy holiday to families 

in Hancock, 

Henderson, 

McDonough and 

Warren counties. 

“Every year more 

and more people have 

volunteered their time 

and financial resources 

to the Project Santa 

Program and every year we need 

every bit of these expressions of generosity,” 

said WIRC Executive 

Director Suzan Nash. 

Last year the program served a 

record 165 households and 404 children 

and distributed over 2,000 gifts, 

including winter coats, mittens and 

hats and food baskets. In the recent 

past, an increase in the need for food 

by the elderly necessitated the program 

expansion to 

include food baskets 

for the homebound. 

Many of the families 

enrolled in the program 

live below the 

poverty level and 

struggle to provide the 

basic necessities for 

their families much less 

provide a happy holiday 

for their children - 

thus, many families go 

without. The program 

strives to help these 

families during the holiday 

season. 

Individuals, organizations, 

community 

groups, churches and 

businesses have stepped forward with 

monetary donations, sponsored a 

child or family, donated wrapping 

paper and the time to wrap some of 

the thousands of gifts distributed each 

year or made donations on behalf of a 

friend or loved one. This year the 

need for donations such as these is no 

less important and just as urgent.

Blankets 

so we hardly ever have to 

buy anything.” 

The chapter receives 

many of their materials 

from private donors and 

yarn drives held by the 

Boy Scouts, church youth 

groups and other organizations. 

The McDonough 

County State’s Attorney’s 

office is just one of the 

several local blanket distributors. 

“Here at the state’s 

attorney’s office, we have 

the Child Advocacy 

Program,” Sarah Baca 

said. “Whenever a child 

has been physically 

abused, we have an interview 

process. After the 

interview is all done, the 

kid can go in and get a 

special blanket that Rita 

made. That kind of makes 

them feel better after the 

stressful interview they 

went through.” 

Baca, a professional 

child advocate, said she 

could see a positive 

change in a child immediately 

upon receiving a 

blanket. 

“They’re excited about 

using it and taking it 

home,” she said. “All the 

kids that have been over 

there that I’ve seen have 

appreciated it. It’s just a 

comfort thing, I think. It’s 

something they can take 

home and just have.” 

Linda Oprian, 

Birthright of Macomb codirector, 

has also seen the 

impact a new warm blanket 

can have on a child. 

“We are very grateful 

for the blankets they make 

for us and we put them to 

good use,” she said. 

Birthright wraps baby 

necessities in the blankets 

“stork-style” and takes 

them to the hospital for 

new mothers. 

“The babies get 

attached to blankets very 

easily, just like Linus in 

the cartoon,” Oprian said. 

“You know that that blanket 

is going to be a 

favorite of that child as he 

grows. It’s a very worthwhile 

project and we are 

very pleased that they’ve 

chosen us as one of the 

organizations that they 

give to. We’re glad that 

we can be a part of passing 

on their good word.” 

Birthright also distributes 

blankets out of the 

office to needy moms. 

“The mothers are just 

thrilled,” she said. 

In addition to her local 

contributions, Brummett 

does what she can to 

reach out beyond 

McDonough and Hancock 

counties. 

Last April when a 

house fire took the lives of 

five children in Quincy, 

Brummett personally took 

50 blankets to the victims’ 

elementary school. 

“I knew that there wasn’t 

a Project Linus group 

in Quincy, so I contacted 

the school counselors and 

asked them if I could 

bring the blankets down,” 

she said. 

Brummett got the 

opportunity to personally 

present the blankets to the 

students. Because most of 

her blankets are distributed 

by local child advocacy 

facilities, being there 

in person was a fulfilling 

emotion she rarely gets to 

experience. 

“It was really awesome,” 

Brummett said. 

“When I went in, they 

said ‘Oh, we’ve been waiting 

for you.’ They just 

Continued from Page 1 

welcomed me with open 

arms.” 

The Blanketeers have 

also sent blankets to victims 

of Hurricane Katrina 

and refugees of the recent 

California wildfires. 

Brummett is always 

looking for more volunteers 

to help make blankets. 

“One of the good 

things about it is that you 

can do it out of the comfort 

of your home,” she 

said. “You’re not required 

to attend meetings, pay 

dues or meet a certain 

quota.” 

In her search for volunteers, 

Brummett has 

found help in some unexpected 

places. A women’s 

sewing class at the Mt. 

Pleasant, Iowa 

Correctional Facility made 

and donated 60 blankets 

toward her cause. 

“I took them a lot of 

the yarn that we had 

donated and some fabric,” 

she said. “What was really 

neat about it was that 

they’d sent back a letter 

and a picture of the people 

working on it to thank 

me for allowing them to 

be part of such a great 

project.” 

Blanket material donations, 

such as yarn and 

fabric, can be dropped off 

at Macomb Sewing 

Center, 717-B W. Jackson 

St. or at Shenanigans, 106 

E. Market St., Colchester.

Newspapers sue IHSA 

for free press rights 

The Illinois Press Association (IPA) recently filed a 

lawsuit against the Illinois High School Association 

(IHSA) in an effort to overturn a rule that limits access 

to school sporting events and the use of photos taken 

at those events. 

According to the lawsuit, the IHSA has contracted 

with Visual Image Photography Inc. for “exclusive and 

unlimited access to IHSA tournament locations and 

photo opportunities.” At the same time, as a condition 

of receiving a media pass, newspapers are required to 

sign an agreement limiting their own access and the 

“secondary use” of photos not printed in the traditional 

newspaper. 

“We have voiced our opposition to the IHSA but 

they have declined to accommodate the press in a free 

and fair manner,” said David L. Bennett, IPA executive 

director. “We can no longer sit on the bench on this.” 

The IPA is seeking a temporary restraining order 

against implementing the IHSA rules and other relief. 

The Northwest Herald, Crystal Lake, and The State 

Journal-Register, Springfield, joined the IPA in the lawsuit. 

Sue Schmitt, The State Journal-Register publisher, 

noted her staff frequently uses photos not published in 

the newspaper on the SJ-R’s Web site and makes photos 

available to the public. 

“Our readers want copies of these photos and presentations 

because they want to hold onto the memory 

of their sons, their daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, 

friends or teammates in action, Schmitt said. 

“The idea that access could be denied to our photographers 

if we refuse to seek the sanction of a quasi-governmental 

body to use our own work is unacceptable.” 

The IHSA rules limit Internet broadcast of games to 

“regularly scheduled” newscasts not to exceed 30 seconds 

per clip nor two minutes of total game time within 

any one-hour period without the consent of the 

IHSA. Highlights cannot be used for any purpose two 

days following the event. Photos published in the traditional 

newspaper apparently aren’t subject to restriction. 

All unused photos are subject to IHSA control, 

according to the terms of the media pass agreement for 

state tournaments. 

According to the lawsuit, using photos is considered 

“secondary use” which IHSA Executive Director 

Martin Hickman has said is any use other than in a 

traditional newspaper story. Such requirements 

amount to prior restraint of the media’s free press 

rights, the lawsuit claims. Allowing a private party to 

have unfettered access while limiting the press is 

another example of prior restraint. It also violates the 

state’s “equal protection” clause of the Illinois 

Constitution, according to the lawsuit. 

“After a century of supporting and promoting local 

school sports, newspapers have helped develop a market 

that the IHSA now wants for itself,” Bennett said. 

“We believe what they’re doing is unlawful.” 

While membership in the IHSA is voluntary, public 

schools provide 85 percent of its membership. The IPA 

asserts in its lawsuit that “the overwhelming public 

character of IHSA membership is sufficient to confer 

state action for the application of constitutional protections 

of a free press and equal protection.” 

“The commercial interest in school sports is small 

for individual newspapers,” Schmitt said. “But collectively, 

the commercial interest could be very large for 

the IHSA. This is about money for the IHSA.”

Blood drive to honor Emma Bozarth 

Emma Bozarth and 

her family invite the 

community to donate 

blood at a special drive 

in her honor. She has 

common variable 

immunodeficiency, an 

inherited condition 

whereby the immune 

system does not function 

correctly. 

“Not only do we 

want to raise awareness 

about primary immune 

deficiency but we also 

want to encourage 

blood donation among 

our community members,” 

Bozarth’s mother 

said. 

The drive is hosted 

by the Mississippi 

Valley Regional Blood 

Center and will be held 

from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 

Saturday, Nov. 17 at the 

Macomb Donor Center, 


Primary immune 

deficiency is a group of 

genetic, lifelong 

immune system disorders 

that make the body 

unable to protect itself 

from germs and 

includes common variable 

immunodeficiency, 

which Bozarth has. The 

condition makes her 

vulnerable to serious 

and potentially lifethreatening 

infections. 

By the time she was a 

toddler, Bozarth logged 

more time in hospitals 

than many people do in 

a lifetime. She tries to 

live as normal a life as 

possible as she faces 

frustrations and fears of 

ongoing medical conditions. 

At 11, she has written 

her second book. “The 

ABCs of Kids Like Me” 

provides a positive outlook 

for other children 

with chronic diseases. 

Advances in medicine 

can help immune deficiency 

patients with regular 

infusions of intravenous 

immunoglobulin, 

which is made with 

plasma. These treatments 

allow most 

patients to lead more 

normal lives because of 

a reduced risk of infections. 

Bozarth’s mom 

also has the same disease 

as well as her 

grandmother. 

Mississippi Valley 

Regional Blood Center 

regularly provides 

immunoglobulin to 

requesting system hospitals 

in support of 

immune deficiency 

patients. 

Blood donation is a 

safe, simple procedure 

that only takes about an 

hour. 

Donors must be at 

least 17 years old, or 16 

with parental permission, 

be in good health 

and weigh 110 pounds. 

Diabetics and persons 

with high blood pressure 

are acceptable. A blood 

donor card or other 

photo I.D. is required to 

donate. 

For more information 

and to schedule a donation 

appointment, call 1- 

800-747-5401 or log on to 

www.bloodcenter.org. 

Congratulations on your new 

building and business endeavor.

From left: Mary Saczowski, Nicole Shudy, Ricky Giltner, Patrick Burks and 

Nick Conklin, members of the Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and 

Multicultural Greek Council, delivered 1,000 pounds of canned goods to the 

food pantry. 

WIRC-CAA food pantry receives 

donation from All Greek Can Drive 

Approximately 1,000 

pounds of canned goods 

were donated to the 

Western Illinois Regional 

Council-Community 

Action Agency (WIRC- 

CAA) food pantry by 

members of 29 Greek 

communities at WIU. 

The All Greek Can 

Drive 2007 was an initiative 

to fill the cupboards 

of people in need and to 

show the Greek community’s 

commitment to 

Macomb. 

“It is a large donation 

such as this that helps 

the WIRC-CAA food 

pantry maintain its level 

of assistance to those in 

need,” said pantry coordinator 

Nancy Walker. 

Each month, the WIRC- 

CAA pantry provides 

food to several hundred 

families and the elderly 

in Hancock, Henderson, 

McDonough and Warren 

counties. 

Due to a limited 

budget and an increase 

in demand, the food 

pantry welcomes donations, 

including canned 

fruits and vegetables, 

pasta, spaghetti sauce 

and breakfast cereal. 

Food is accepted at 

WIRC-CAA, 223 S. 

Randolph, Macomb. 

Pantry hours are 8 a.m. 

to 4 p.m., Monday 

through Friday.

CQLAC award 

Gordana and the late Donald Rezab, both professors

the 2007 awards from the Community Quality of Life 

(CQLAC) Advisory Committee. They were named for 

their untiring efforts to preserve the historical integrity

stipulation the land be developed to enhance and dignify 

the cemetery and at the same time protect it from 

degrading commercial development. 

Belles read her nomination written by Kathleen 

Balderson at the ceremony held at the Western Illinois 

Museum. Gordana and Belles stood in front of the former 

Lark Theater billboard case and beneath decorative 

terra cotta art from the Lark Theater. These artifacts

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER 

Macomb Has Levels of Total Trihalomethanes Above Drinking Water Standards 

Immediate opening 

We’re looking for the right person 

to join our team 

Reporter 

Eagle Publications of Western Illinois, Inc., has a reporter 

position open in Macomb. Applicant will cover all facets 

of news in the Macomb area. 

We publish the Macomb Eagle, a twice a week newspaper 

and a full distribution free publication, 

The McDonough County This Week. 

Applicant must have good news sense, like writing and be 

accurate and deadline oriented. Knowledge of 

QuarkXpress and pagination a plus. 

This is a full-time position with health insurance after 

90 days. Pay according to experience and ability. 

Send resume and clips to Tom Hutson, Editor, 

Macomb Eagle, 210 S Randolph St., Macomb, IL 61455 

Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our 

customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this 

situation. 

We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on October 9, 

2007 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for total trihalomethanes 

(TTHMs). The standard for TTHMs is 80 micrograms per liter (ug/L). The City’s average level of TTHMs over the 

last year was 82 mircograms per liter. 

What should I do 

• You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific 

health concerns, consult your doctor. 

What does this mean 

This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who 

drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, 

kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. 

What happened What is being done 

Trihalomethanes are formed when free chlorine and natural organics combine. The longer the two components 

react with one another the more trihalomethanes form. The City has started a flushing program, reduced levels of 

free chlorine, and made adjustments to water tower water levels as a way to reduce water age throughout the 

system. We feel these measures will reduce the amount of trihalomethanes to an acceptable level. It is 

anticipated that the issue will be resolved within the 4 th quarter of 2007. 

For more information, please contact Jim Bessler, Utilities Manager, at 309-833-2821 or Clinton Hill the Water 

Treatment Plant Supervisor, at 309-836-3916. Or by mail at 232 East Jackson, Macomb IL. 61455. 

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have 

received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). 

You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. 

This notice is being sent to you by The City of 

Macomb.
