E. Jefferson Rd.
Bonnie, IL 62816
enthusiasts will find a haven of recreational activities, with 18,900 acres of water and over 20,000 acres
of land in Jefferson and Franklin counties, Rend Lake provides ample opportunities
for hunting and fishing. Rend Lake is located between Mt. Vernon and Benton,
just off Interstate 57.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources has management responsibility
for the Big Muddy and Casey Fork subimpoundments plus the Rend Lake Refuge,
while the remainder of the wildlife area is managed by personnel from
the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Portions of Rend Lake are managed intensively
for waterfowl, providing both habitat and hunter opportunity for ducks
and geese. Around the perimeter of the fish and wildlife area and scattered
throughout are areas well-suited for deer, squirrel, rabbit and quail
hunting. Additional recreation ammenities, such as camping, golfing, tennis,
are located nearby at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park, and at sites managed by the Corps of Engineers
and the Rend Lake Conservancy District.
Lake was built as a joint project by the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources, the Rend Lake Conservancy District, and the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. Construction of this 18,900 acre reservoir commenced in 1965 as a means for providing a dependable
domestic water supply to a two-county area. Construction
of the $60 million project took 5 years, with the final
filling of the lake in the early 1970s. Since that time, many improvements
have been made resulting in quality facilities. The Rend Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area was developed to
provide public hunting and other recreational opportunities.
Camping and Lodging
visitors can stay at the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park which has primitive
and developed camp sites, or at the Corps of Engineers campgrounds on
Rend Lake. For those who prefer not to camp, the Rend Lake Resort, which
has waterside rooms and marina facilities, is located within Wayne Fitzgerrell.
Boating enthusiasts will find easy
access to Rend Lake. Within the Rend Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area,
eight of the 19 public access areas provide launching ramps. There are
also five additional ramps within the subimpoundment used seasonally for
waterfowl hunting. Rend Lake is a relatively shallow reservoir, averaging
less than 10 feet in depth with many submerged and exposed stumps, therefore,
boaters must be alert while operating in these areas.
Rend Lake has earned the reputation of being
one of the better waterfowl hunting areas in the state for both ducks
and geese. The subimpoundment dams located across the Big Muddy River
and Casey Fork Creek and the upstream areas they impound, are planted
to a variety of crops and flooded when mature for optimum waterfowl
hunting. An on-site daily drawing is conducted for the allocation of goose
pits at the popular Whistling Wings Access Area and staked locations throughout
the Casey Fork Sub impoundment. There also are considerable acreages at
high elevations that provide excellent habitat and opportunity for archery
and firearm deer hunting. Another popular attraction is the annual controlled
pheasant hunt held at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park. For additional
hunting information see the Hunter
Fact Sheet
As a relatively shallow reservoir, Rend Lake is quite productive for both
sport and commercial fish. All species of fish common to southern Illinois
can be found at Rend Lake; however, abundant and large crappie and channel
catfish will delight any angler. Hybrid striped bass also are a popular
catch and flathead catfish have become established generating considerable
angler interest. A commercial fishing program is conducted each winter
which allows the general public to purchase fresh buffalo, carp and other
commercial species.
Lake Conservancy District manages a championship 18-hole golf
course for those who want a break from fishing and hunting. Another
choice would be a game of tennis at either the Conservancy District
or at the Rend Lake Resort. Numerous dog field trials are held
at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park during the fall and winter months
which are enjoyed by participants and spectators alike. A viewing
tower is available within the Rend Lake Refuge for those who would
like to observe waterfowl and other wildlife.

With the blowPro hair care collection, you don't have to book a flight to New York City to get the best blowout imaginable. The shampoos, conditioners, treatments, hair sprays and styling products included in the range are the same formulas used at Blow and can help you get professional results with your own blow dryer. Because they are made specifically for blowouts, the blowPro hair care products produce results that are just not possible with ordinary hair care formulas. Whether you're a blowout pro or just a beginner with a blow dryer, the blowPro collection is for you!
Free of sulfates and parabens that deplete hair and limit the life of your blow out. 100% Keratin compliant. Never tested on animals.
It's easy to see why so many women swear by professional blowouts. The service is quick. It's simple, and it produces beautiful results that last for days. With the right products, a blowout can give fine hair added volume, help control unmanageable locks and give damaged strands a silky, smoother feel. In 2005, a team who appreciates the benefits of the perfect blowout opened Blow, a blowout-only salon in Manhattan, and launched their own line of products designed specifically for blowout services.
Do you want the perfect blowout? Skip the salon and reach for blowPro. The award-winning products from blowPro are specially formulated to give you exceptional blow dry results. Is your hair coarse and prone to the frizzies? Do you have hair extensions? Do you color treat your hair? Even if your hair has resisted sleek styles in the past because of its texture or chemical treatments, blowPro can help you achieve the professional look you've been dreaming about.
Begin your hair care regimen with a blowPro shampoo and conditioner. These nourishing formulas are rich in proteins to strengthen and revive your hair. Importantly, all of blowPro's shampoos and conditioners are free of sulfates, which are detergents that many hair care products include. But they can also strip some people's hair of moisture and color, leaving their scalp dry and itchy.
The next step of your blowPro regimen is to prep and style. When you apply heat to your hair with a dryer or an iron, you risk frying your strands – which leads to split ends and breakage. BlowPro offers a range of smoothing products to lock in moisture and protect your hair.
To set your style, end with a blowPro finishing product. From pomade to mist, and serum to sprays, blowPro provides lasting, moveable hold.
And if you want to enjoy your blowout for a few more days, try the blowPro dry shampoo that beauty editors are raving about. Massage the translucent formula into your scalp to remove excess sebum and buildup. After brushing your hair, you'll have more volume and shine.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A man caught robbing a St. Pete PNC Bank Friday has been charged with two other bank robberies in Clearwater.
St. Pete Police say around 6 p.m., undercover detectives saw Wesley Fox appear to put something over his face as he entered the bank in the 3800 block of 49th Street North. After a couple of minutes, they saw him run out of the bank and get into a red Toyota Corolla parked at an apartment complex nearby.
Detectives, suspecting he had robbed the bank, blocked his escape and found a handgun and a large amount of cash in his car. Bank personnel confirmed a robbery had just taken place and Fox was arrested and charged with Armed Bank Robbery.
On Saturday, Clearwater Police detectives connected 26-year-old Fox to two other PNC Bank robberies in Clearwater. One on May 26 at the bank in the 2400 block of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and the other on June 19 at the bank in the 2500 block of Countryside Boulevard.
Fox, a transient, may face one more bank robbery charge as detectives suspect the same man from the Clearwater robberies was responsible for a PNC Bank robbery on June 8.

Dr. Doorenbos Retires After 41 years of Service
(Le Mars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital and the general Le Mars community will be saying good bye to a long-time doctor that has served the Le Mars area for the past 41 years. Dr. Daryl Doorenbos is retiring, and the hospital is hosting an open house to honor the doctor on Saturday. Doorenbos, a native to Sioux County, found Le Mars to be a nice place to practice medicine. However, he says early in his career, and prior to the now present hospital facility, he remembers when Le Mars had a shortage of doctors.
Listen to
Doorenbos doesn't recall the number of patients he has cared for during his lengthy career in Le Mars, and he quit obstetrics nearly 20 years ago, but he believes he may have helped deliver between 700 and 800 babies. Doorenbos says he looked forward to going to work each day.
Listen to
Other duties and responsibilities included for a while being the Plymouth County Medical Examiner, as well as Flight Surgeon for the 185 Air National Guard in Sioux City. Doorenbos recalls he pursued medicine simply because of the fascination of studying the human body.
Listen to
Doorenbos says he will miss the people the most during his retirement.
Floyd Valley Hospital will hold an open house to honor Dr. Daryl Doorenbos on Saturday afternoon. Mike Donlin serves as the administrator for Floyd Valley Hospital.
Listen to
Donlin says Dr. Doorenbos played a major role in the health and welfare of Le Mars.

Response to Another Attack From Liberatedwoman And Her Multiple Names.
Since this is the course, I trust this blog is within limits.
While the intent of my blogs are largely political, liberatedwoman has for years relentlessly attacked me and other bloggers as well as our families, on a personal level.
Many times liberatedwoman, under that name and others have been deflated, defeated and exposed by others and myself to no avail. Just days ago liberatedwoman accused me of a Federal crime, hacking. The alleged incident occurred about two years ago with one of her many names, establishing liberatedwomans connection to this blog for at least that time period. David Blackmon (Blackmond), I can't remember the exact name, was an avid and knowledgeable blogger about that time. Liberatedwoman savagely attacked him and his blogs posing his families names, his job and political ties. When David B announced that due other obligations he would not longer post, liberatedwoman instantly and falsely claimed a victory by running David B off this blog because of his political stance.
A few days ago liberatedwoman stated "Thanks hellfire for giving Jason a reason to ban you". Obviously that is her goal, to silence my truths, not going to happen so live with it liberated woman or don't.
Libeatedwoman using multiple names has and continues to harass, lie and attempt to rule this blogging platform. Below is absolute proof that liberatedwoman uses multiple names.
Since it's posting libeatedwoman employed the same tactics to try to discredit and have the proof removed. The proof is evident and in its simplest form as differentview2 posts as if liberated woman.
A few blogs ago liberatedwoman stated she was sick and tired of conservative bloggers, hence the onslaught of attacks by liberatedwoman. In her fit of rage, she forgot to change names, which resulted in the posted mistake exposing liberatedwoman.
Without a doubt, whatsoever libeatedwoman posts using other names to try to bait, harass and insult other blogers. Many of liberatedwomans other name have been banned after attacks upon the Bee Pic and editors.
While liberatedwoman would like nothing more than this latest exposure of her deceitful tactics to be forgotten, I shall not let the issue pass.
I offer the below for your perusal:
Fascist Defined
by LiberatedWoman
Fascist Defined
To Jason: Yes, this is a personal attack, but you have failed to delete personal attacks on me and other abusive blogs and articles. Do not start employing a double standard now.
2 Minutes Ago
Jason knows that I am not attacking him so quit trying to spin it into something that it isn't.
However, I have been attacked repeatedly by Tryg, MOR and you. I've held back many times in responding, but I've had enough of the insults.
Yes, this will be interesting and I'll probably receive a warning from him through my e-mail. However, I trust that he will be fair.
Why don't you produce an article about the positive things about your presumptive candidate and why we should vote for him. Are you up to that challenge? Tick tock, tick tock...

Are Comic Books a Smart Investment?
Rising enthusiasm for comic books has led some to view them as an investment like rare baseball cards or stamps. There's good reason for this: History shows that hard-to-find comics can command huge sums. But should you put your money in the hands of superheroes?

Our list of College Football's Most Valuable Teams ranks each team's value on a weighted scoring system. The four components, in order of weight, consist of each team's 1. value to its university (football profit used for academic purposes, including football scholarships), 2. value to its athletic department (net profit generated by the football team that is kept by the athletic department), 3. value to its conference (distribution of bow game payout) and 4. value to the surrounding community (estimated spending by visitors on days of home games). The scoring system also standardizes revenues and expenses in order to account for differences in each school's method of reporting financial information to the Department of Education.Sources: The Universities; Local Chambers of Commerce and Visitors & Convention Bureaus; NCAA; U.S. Department of Education.

NBC Montana fact checks common flu myths
Health experts are calling this flu season one of the worst in years, and some say it hasn't even reached its peak.
NBC Montana's Alissa Irei wanted to fact check some common flu myths, so she visited Bozeman Deaconess Hospital. There she talked to infectious disease physician, Dr. Mark Winton. He says he has seen a lot of flu this year, and a lot of misconceptions about the virus.
Fact or fiction: You don't need to get the flu shot if you rarely get sick.
"For some types of the flu, you're more likely to get it when you're young and healthy," Winton said.
Fact or fiction: If you don't feel sick, then you aren't contagious.
"There are some people who don't actually get sick with the flu, they don't have any symptoms," he said. "But they can still spread it."
Fact or fiction: You can get the flu from the flu shot.
"The flu shot is a killed vaccine; there isn't any live virus in it," Winton said. "You can get a fever, and some people get a sore arm after they get it. But you can't actually get influenza from the flu shot."
He says if you get sick a day or two after getting the shot, you probably got it too late. The vaccine takes two weeks to be fully effective.
Fact or fiction: If you get the shot, you can still get the flu.
"Unfortunately there's not a 100 percent match between the strains that circulate and the strains in the vaccine," Winton said, although he added that those who get the vaccine and still get sick often have milder symptoms.
Fact or fiction: It's too late to get the shot.
"Influenza A has probably peaked in our area, but Influenza B is on the rise," he said. "And there is a strain of B that is covered in the vaccine."
Winton said another common myth -- that the flu vaccine contains mercury -- is not true. In fact, he said the shot contains no preservatives at all. He added that the belief the vaccine causes autism in children is also a myth.
This year the flu is about 65 percent effective at preventing the virus. If you do get sick, Tamiflu antiviral medication can help, but you have to take it within 48 hours of the first symptoms.

West Port's Hudson commits to UAB
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 8:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 8:46 p.m.
Chris Hudson joined a rapidly growing list of West Port football players bound for Division I destinations last week when he committed to the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Hudson, a 6-foot-5, 277-pound tackle, became the fifth Wolf Pack football player to commit to a Division I college, joining the history-making Class of 2013 trio of Markee Hayes (Akron), Jonnu Smith and Alfonso Randolph (both FIU), as well as fellow offensive lineman Delroy Baker, a rising senior who pledged to Indiana last month.
Hudson was offered by UAB, which competes in Conference USA, on the night of West Port's spring game in May and committed to play for the Blazers last Tuesday.
"They just kept on showing lots of love and wanting me to play for them," said Hudson, who is planning a visit to Birmingham this fall.
"They really like my footwork and how I'm able to do pass protection," he added.
According to Russell Holley, the Wolf Pack's recently hired head football coach, Hudson has responded well to his newfound status as a major college commit. Already blessed with considerable size, Hudson has also begun paying closer attention to other facets of his game.
"He's working on his strength and quickness," Holley said. "One of the things I've noticed in Chris since the spring is that he's becoming more of a leader and taking more initiative. I think this college recruiting process has caused him to step up and realize that maybe more eyes are on him."
Hudson and Baker, as bookend senior Division I-bound tackles, give Holley a strong foundation to build the Wolf Pack around as they navigate their first season as a Class 8A football program.
"We're going to be fast-paced, but we'll be able to slow the game down if we need do," Holley said. "Having two guys you know you can count on for every snap really helps us to establish that offensive persona."
Though the Wolf Pack are often overlooked in Marion County's football hierarchy, Hudson is hoping to prove the old adage that good football is born in the trenches, where he and Baker hope to be two of the top linemen around this fall.
The offensive line "wasn't really the strongest point of the team (in past years)," Hudson said, "but now I feel like it is the strongest point of the team and we also have some really good receivers."
Though Hudson pounced on the first Division I offer he received, he did say he would listen if he can improve his stock enough this fall for major-conference schools to come calling.
Holley, who has a long background working with offensive linemen, believes that could happen, especially if Hudson continues his recent trend of early morning work in the weight room and agility drills in the afternoons.
"The work he's putting in, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be able to get some good film," Holley said, "and I would not be surprised if larger schools make a push and get offers out to him."
