Prairie Fire heads to Danvers, west of Bloomington, for a visit with artist D. Bill, who carves “totem” poles out of discarded utility poles. Bill’s brightly painted poles are collected by art dealers in Chicago, but he says he doesn’t see his creations as money-makers. He just likes to have “something to do in the winter.” Bill says he can’t keep up with the demand for his poles.
