<h2 style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><br /></h2>
<p>EAST PEORIA, IL (03/08/2024) Illinois Central College (ICC) recently
received two grants from the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) totaling
$204,018 through June 30, 2025. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Access and Equity in Dual Credit Project grant awarded $149,958 to ICC
to expand dual credit opportunities for high school students in Central
Illinois, including Peoria Public High Schools, Pekin High School and Limestone
High School. ICC will use the funds to train high school counselors and
advisors, update college and career pathways and lower barriers to dual credit
access for historically underserved students. The program will help more
low-income students earn college credits while in high school. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Career and Technical Education Virtual Reality grant provides the
College with $54,060 to purchase virtual reality equipment and software to
enhance recruitment and training for EMTs and paramedics. Both careers are in
high demand in Central Illinois, and the new VR technology will give students
more realistic learning opportunities to fully prepare them for entering the
workforce. The equipment will also be used at recruiting events to show
potential students what they can expect to experience in these careers and help
meet regional job recruitment needs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>### <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Illinois Central College is a two-year community college with campuses in
East Peoria, Peoria, and Pekin, Illinois, providing a high-quality, affordable
education to prepare individuals for success in the workforce or at a four-year
college or university. For more information on ICC, visit icc.edu.<o:p></o:p></p>

Severe and erratic weather patterns combined with the impacts of rising inflation earlier this year have challenged the ability to keep home and property premiums at manageable levels while paying ever-increasing claim amounts. To meet these challenges, Pekin Insurance is accelerating a strategic restructuring plan that has a primary focus on Commercial and Life Insurance, where the impacts of current environmental challenges are reduced.</p><p>Increasing our focus on business insurance will significantly impact our long-term success. As we put our strategies in place, it is necessary for us to reduce our exposure to personal insurance. We will temporarily suspend the acceptance of new homeowners or personal auto business in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin while exiting new and renewal policies for this type of business in Iowa. This decision was an extremely difficult one to make; however, it is necessary to ensure the continued long-term success of the company. On the commercial side, we will exit Habitational (condos and apartments) products in the Midwest, which, like our personal insurance, have high property risk exposures to severe weather events.</p><p>“As the industry changes, so must Pekin Insurance. Focusing on our Commercial and Life Insurance strategy will ensure our continued financial stability for now and many years to come,” said Dan Connell, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Pekin Insurance.</p><p>These changes will go into effect immediately. We understand some of them could be confusing to policyholders. For those customers who will be losing coverage, our independent insurance agents may work with them to place their policies with other carriers. All policyholders impacted by these changes can still expect claims to be handled efficiently and will receive excellent customer service through the remainder of their policy term.</p><p>Pekin Insurance has been in business since 1921 and is one of the leading insurers in the state of Illinois, providing multiple lines of insurance. Pekin Insurance offers property and casualty coverage in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Utah, and Wisconsin with nearly 1,300 independent agencies in a seven-state area. We also sell Life Insurance, Medicare Supplement policies, and Pre-Need coverage in 22 states. The company is headquartered in Pekin, Illinois.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nance Legins-Costley was born into
slavery when Illinois was still a territory. As such, she lived in slavery
following Illinois' statehood and was sold several times before settling in
Pekin. At age 14 she began legal challenges to her status as a slave, and in
1841 then young attorney Abraham Lincoln took her case before the Illinois
Supreme Court, successfully gaining her freedom. She lived the majority of her
life in Pekin, moving to Peoria in old age to live with her daughter. Her
gravesite in Moffitt Cemetery was paved over and as such their currently is no
monument to her life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her eldest son William Costley is
recognized as the first male enslaved individual emancipated by Abraham Lincoln
by the same legal action the secured his mother's freedom. He later enlisted in
the Union Army, was injured in battle in Virginia but returned to his unit, the
famed 29th Colored Infantry Regiment, when it was redeployed to Texas. On June
19 1865 the 29th Colored Infantry marched into Galveston Texas under the
command of General Gordon Granger and posted the Emancipation Proclamation in
the Public Square, an act that officially liberated the last stronghold of
slavery within the United States and caused a citywide celebration we today
mark as the National and State Holiday of Juneteenth. No monument exist in
Illinois currently honoring the memory of William Costley, and nationally only
his gravesite in Rochester Minnesota exist, in which his name is misspelled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Carle Health, a central Illinois-based healthcare
system, is proud to welcome the former UnityPoint Health – Central
Illinois network along with Trillium Place and Methodist College into
its system of care with a focus on improving the health and well-being
of the communities it serves. This union will bring an integrated
network of three hospitals with 634 beds, more than 850
multi-specialty physicians, 76 clinics, home health and hospice
services, a level two trauma center, many advanced specialty services,
behavioral health services and a college into the Carle Health team.
The closing agreement took effect on April 1st, marking the
integration of these two prominent healthcare systems.</span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Through this process we’ve found such a shared sense
of purpose and it’s clear our partnership will enhance greater
patient-centered healthcare in central Illinois,” James Leonard, MD,
President and CEO, Carle Health says. “Our mission, vision, values
and culture align, establishing a foundation to extend excellence in
the delivery of healthcare services for years to come. Our future is
bright. Wherever a person’s health journey takes them, we will be
there to help them through.”</span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Methodist, Proctor and Pekin team members will join a
robust vertically integrated health system, which brings together
resources, technologies, innovations, knowledge, and experience from
the many different parts of Carle’s broader organization – sharing
expertise and efficiencies – all to serve our patients and health
plan members better. Carle’s presence in the Greater Peoria area
increases access to preventive care and improved health outcomes by</span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">

<p><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We are stronger together,” Keith Knepp, MD,
President, Carle Health Greater Peoria, says. “The strength of being
one system with Carle Health is the chance to leverage more tools and
resources throughout the organization in the best way possible.
Patients have the opportunity to find the support they need close to
home, and with providers, they know and trust.”</span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Current Greater Peoria patients will see no disruption
to their care throughout this transition. There are no current
changes to providers or locations where care is accessed. Teams are
now collaborating to connect the expertise each brings to the
relationship while furthering their shared patient-centered approach
to care. Finalizing the closing agreements is one of many steps
required to complete the full integration of complex health systems.
Patients may continue to see legacy branding or references to previous
names or origins in certain areas. These visuals and references will
soon be updated to represent Carle Health holistically. </span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

addiction recovery services currently operating under UnityPoint

Place, as the organization becomes an affiliate of Carle Health. This
new name, Trillium Place, holds significant meaning as teams continue
providing much-needed community services. A formal name and branding
will take place in May to celebrate this exciting milestone with
patients, clients and the community.</span><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">New this year, a teal egg
hunt is part of the fun for participants after the race! Participants can
search along the course for dozens of eggs filled with prizes for all ages.
CFPA merchandise, including coffee tumblers, pet bandanas, belt bags and more,
are available for purchase on the event website. CFPA encourages participants
to ask friends and family to join them at the event or donate money through the
online fundraising platform in honor of survivors of sexual assault and abuse. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">“The <i>I Run with Survivors </i>5K
and 1 mile walk is an incredible way for people to support, not only CFPA’s
mission, but also show survivors of sexual assault they are believed, loved and
supported,” said Carol Merna, Chief Executive Officer at the Center for
Prevention of Abuse. “<span style="letter-spacing: .1pt;">Every 68 seconds
someone in America is sexually assaulted. This crime occurs far too frequently
and casts a long shadow through physical and emotional scars<span style="color: #333333;">.</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; letter-spacing: .1pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Our therapy
department works hard to provide the best care for our clients and having
community support for an event like this is crucial. We encourage and welcome
everyone to join us on April 8.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">All the proceeds from
registration go toward providing free and confidential services for survivors
of sexual assault at CFPA. Race day activities include photo opportunities,
music from Mix 106.9, teal egg hunt and refreshments following the race. CFPA
services for sexual assault survivors and all survivors of abuse are free and
confidential and the crisis hotline is available 24 hours a day at
1-800-559-SAFE (7233). More sexual assault statistics and information can be

is <i>here for it</i>! Pekin Restaurant Week couldn’t be a better reason to see
(and taste) the changes. Family owned for nearly three decades, YBG has been taken
on by the next generation of Schramm: Chef JoElle.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Chef JoElle has returned to her hometown to take up the torch of
family business. With a bachelor’s degree in restaurant management and culinary
arts, she had pursued upscale dining scenes of the Windy City for several
years, returning to help family as the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivis2gBpamcLxPO1m6jIQuOJ27nFqjrNEBQ8G4sO_L0gjUx6ADMeLuuYXdH9zP-sXvY5aPOSDQRsc6s1c7Cs4YeCwhIUmmCdf7nhjtAH4PMsb5QYTObShacHF2dFeyuKM3SklXEK-g8yf9BwZ4BC3uhKLjz8mk8FNdZ_78CX0pEDx9QF41cXmpR1_7/s1534/joelle.tif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1534" data-original-width="1534" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivis2gBpamcLxPO1m6jIQuOJ27nFqjrNEBQ8G4sO_L0gjUx6ADMeLuuYXdH9zP-sXvY5aPOSDQRsc6s1c7Cs4YeCwhIUmmCdf7nhjtAH4PMsb5QYTObShacHF2dFeyuKM3SklXEK-g8yf9BwZ4BC3uhKLjz8mk8FNdZ_78CX0pEDx9QF41cXmpR1_7/s320/joelle.tif" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“I returned when the world shut down,” says Chef JoElle, now owner
of Yesterday’s Bar and Grille. “Being close to help my family was just the
right decision.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Chef JoElle’s innovative restaurant management mindset helped to keep
revenue incoming, pivoting the business to offer oven ready meals of everything
from whole chickens to gourmet mac and cheese! And, since taking ownership of YBG
in January 2021 she has transformed the little hometown bar into a progressive
dining establishment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Followers of her social media will see her “taste of international
flavor” five-course dining events, filling a little represented niche of fine
dining in Pekin. The special dining events have become a regularly sold-out experience,
offering French cuisine, a taste of the Mediterranean, Greek fare and more. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“It started as just a creative outlet for me. I missed the
challenge of the more elaborate dinners I was used to preparing in Chicago,”
says Chef JoElle. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

current house favorites: tipsy cocoa and whiskey sour made with in-house whipped
merengue and brandied cherry. This week offers an incredible dining experience with
Pekin Restaurant Week pre-fixe special menus featuring grilled salmon, bucatini,
butternut squash risotto and more! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Chef JoElle invites the Pekin area to see the on-going interior
renovations as Yesterday’s says goodbye to the past; replacing aged carpentry,
opening the dining floor to a more open floor plan, as well as transforming
lighting and removing the ironically awkward brass bar railing. More interior
updates will be seen throughout the year as YBG prepares to celebrate 30 years
in 2024! </span></p><p></p>
