District 1 County Board Needs proven leadership!

Marshall

Newhouse Dennis Ellingson Ready to make

Over 37 years actively farming and leader in conservation practices Past County Board member and Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Committee Extensive service to community and county, including 4-H and church leaderhsip

Fair & Tough choices

The Boone County Board is squeezed between stagnant, low revenue projections and the ever increasing costs of government that are driven by unfunded state mandates and rising health insurance costs.

Agribusiness leader serving Boone County

To face the unenviable challenge of balancing a budget under these circumstances will require more than campaign slogans.

Marshall Newhouse and Denny Ellingson know how to make difficult choices when there are no easy options left.

Strong history of community leadership, including School Board member, 4-H, and church.

Current Boone County Board member

Their experience – in agriculture, in business, and in government – will be invaluable during the upcoming years.

“In the months ahead, our County will face severe budget problems... the County Board must make some difficult decisions.

I believe my past experience on the board has prepared me to make those decisions.

“I am asking you for the opportunity to serve you and your families.

I will respect your right to have an honest, thoughtful and hard working commissioner to represent you.”

– Marshall Newhouse

Many people confuse Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. While those who died are also remembered, Veterans Day is a day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military in both wartime and peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank living veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served, not only those who died, have truly sacrificed and done their duty.

I will share with you one of my favorite quotes about Veterans Day. “Thanksgiving is a day when we pause to give thanks for the things we have. Veterans Day is a day we pause to give thanks to the people who fought and sometimes died for the things we have.”

The heavy price in lives we have paid. In WWI we lost 116,516 members of this great nation. In WWII we lost another 405,399. In Korea another 36,515. In Vietnam we lost 58,815. The War on Terrorism has cost another 8,000 men and women of this great Country. It is the price we paid to live in the greatest Country in the world. It is the price we paid and pay still, to live and enjoy true freedom and privileges. We must try to understand that we do not have the slightest concept of what it is to live without freedom, for freedom is all we have ever known.

I was a medical corpsman in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne from 1970-1971. There is a Memorial Wall about the men and 8 women nurses who lost their lives while serving in Vietnam. I will share some facts about the Wall with you. There are three sets of fathers and sons on the Wall. 39,996 on the Wall were just 22 or younger. The largest age group, 8,283 were just 19 years old. 3,103 were 18 years old. Five soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old. Five soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old. One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was 15 years old. 997 soldiers were killed on their first day in Vietnam. 1,148 soldiers were killed on their last day in Vietnam. 31 sets of brothers are on the Wall. Thirty one sets of parents lost 2 of their sons.

Every war has its own story and was paid for with a heavy price . The stories are all sad, but that is the price we paid. So when you see a veteran thank him or her, not only Veteran’s Day but any day. The thank yous will not cost you much but they will sure make a Veterans Day. Greg Kelm, Vietnam Veteran

Elections decide the leadership that guides legislation and enforcement of regulations. The right to vote is something many people take for granted, but elsewhere in the world many people have no say with regard to their political leaders, which only emphasizes the importance of participating in the election process whenever you’re afforded the opportunity to do so.

Before voting, voters should research the respective candidates for each election. To better understand candidates’ platforms, visit their websites as well as those of nonpartisan political organizations, such as The League of Women Voters. Deciding who to vote for requires more than just siding with a particular political party.

Read as much as you can on the candidates’ beliefs, concerns and voter history. This will help you make the best decision possible. In the days leading up to Election Day, confirm your polling location and voting options.

Memory Loss Is Not An Automatic Side Effect Of Aging No one, regardless of age, is immune to random bouts of memory loss. While misplaced car keys or forgetting items on your grocery list are nothing to get worked up over, many men and women over 50 do start to worry about memory lapses, especially when they start to occur with more frequency than they might have just a few years ago. But while memory loss might be quickly associated with aging, increased forgetfulness is not an inevitable side effect of getting older, a fact that those at or approaching retirement age should find comforting.

When considering the relationship between memory and aging, it’s important that men and women recognize the distinction between memory lapses and dementia, as the two are not one and the same. As a person ages, his or her hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, often deteriorates. This can affect how long it takes to learn and recall information. But just because this process is slower does not mean it’s a warning sign of dementia, which is the loss of certain mental functions, including memory. Though taking longer to recall information can be frustrating, many people still retain their ability to recall information. In addition, while dementia brought on by conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease is untreatable, there are things men and women can do to strengthen their memories. * Start playing games. Games that test the mind have long been believed to benefit the brain, though some remain skeptical about the true impact of brain games. However, a University of Iowa study funded by the National Institute on Aging found that brain games may in fact pay numerous and long-term dividends. In the study, 681 healthy volunteers over the age of 40 were divided into four groups. One group played computerized crossword puzzles, and three other groups played a brain training video game from Posit Science designed specifically to enhance the speed and accuracy of visual processing. The volunteers showed less decline in visual processing as well as in other tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to shift quickly between tasks, and the benefits from the training games lasted as long as seven years after training. Brain games are now more accessible than ever before, as players can access such games on their smart phones, tablets, ereaders, and computers. And in addition to being effective, the games also provide entertainment value. * Alter your routine. Many working professionals recognize that each day tends to have its mundane moments.

The brain can grow accustomed to these moments, which tend to be a routine part of the day. But altering your daily routine can jar the brain awake, forcing it to focus during those times that had become mundane but now present new challenges. Something as simple as alternating driving routes to work from day to day or preparing some new, yet healthy, breakfast each morning can help the brain stay alert and sharp. * Become a social butterfly. Maintaining a social life as you age is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. But there’s another reason to continue to be socially engaged. A 2008 study spearheaded by the clinical trials administrative director at Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Group and published in the American Journal of Public Health found that older women who maintained large social networks were 26 percent less likely to develop dementia than women with smaller social networks. In addition, those who had daily contact with friends and family cut their risk of dementia by nearly half. The study also noted that regular social interaction can delay or possibly even prevent cognitive impairment. * Continue your career. While the idea of retiring pool side and watching the world go by might seem nice, such a scenario is not necessarily good for your brain. Numerous studies have shown the benefits that staying engaged in professional activities can have on brain health. The brain does not thrive if it’s sitting on the sideline.

Staying active in your career will continue to provide the challenges your brain needs to stay sharp and avoid memory loss and struggles with concentration.

Maple Crest and Northwoods Care Centres sponsor a monthly Memory Cafe. The purpose of the Memory Cafe is to provide knowledge, understanding and education about memory loss in a relaxed atmosphere. The meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month at the Steam Plant Restaurant, 123 Meadow St., Belvidere at 6:00 PM.

A large part of the decision process is determining how assisted living can benefit you. There are many benefits of assisted living that can contribute to better mental and physical health as well as safety and peace of mind.

With staff on site 24/7, a resident will not have to fear being left alone without care. We have all heard stories about an elderly individual who has fallen at home and had to lie on the floor until a family member or other assistance arrives. Assisted living communities also provide housekeeping, laundry services, and 3 delicious meals a day, which lightens the burden of living independently a great deal. Instead of worrying about how to maintain household chores, an assisted living resident can focus on enjoying their elder years to their utmost ability. Daily social activities are also provided to ensure residents get the social stimulation that they desire. All too often, a senior living at home independently cannot get out of the home frequently, due to mobility issues or incontinence. This often leads to feelings of isolation and sadness. Many groups are typically available for residents to join so they can maintain their hobbies and favorite past time activities. Assisted living residents also are able to maintain their privacy with private apartments equipped with amenities similar to home and individual bathrooms.

The importance of taking prescribed medication is immeasurable. It is also very confusing and intimidating for an elderly individual to manage a handful of medications alone. Assisted living communities typically offer medication set ups and reminders to help alleviate the stress of the maintenance of medication. Transportation assistance is also offered to residents so they can continue to see their regular physicians and maintain independence with shopping trips and social outings.

Assisted living communities offer so many great benefits to seniors. However, for a number of reasons, some individuals wait too long to move to assisted living communities and by the time a move is an absolute necessity, they are beyond the care level that assisted living can offer, and end up having to move to a skilled nursing facility.

Assisted living is truly a higher quality of life for the individuals that choose to make the decision to move. If you or a loved one have questions about whether or not a move is right for you, reach out to an assisted living community near you and get more information.

As the seasons change, motorists must take steps to safeguard their vehicles. Each winter, many vehicles are subjected to sub-zero temperatures, snowfall and icy roads, and such conditions can take their toll on vehicles over time. Taking steps to prepare vehicles for winter weather is a vital step that can make cars and trucks safer.

Battery - Old batteries should be replaced before winter begins. Without a strong, properly functioning battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and five years. However, extreme cold can compromise batteries. Batteries are made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery performance. According to AAA’s Automotive Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses 35 percent of its strength. Newer batteries can be protected by starting the vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you cannot take an extended drive.

Exterior maintenance - Keeping a car waxed and sealed can help maintain a durable exterior finish. This includes not only the paint, but the rubber and vinyl parts of the car’s exterior. Winter is a good time to switch to a heavyduty synthetic wax that can shield against water and road salts. High-quality sealants can be used on bumpers, trim and rubber door seals as added protection. Speak with an automotive retailer or even the car dealership if you are unsure which products will make your car’s parts most durable for winter weather. Do not stop washing your car just because the weather is cold. Slushy, wet roads and snow-melting salts can speed up the formation of rust or other decay on the undercarriage of the vehicle.

Tire pressure - Vehicle tires lose a pound of air pressure for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Many modern cars will alert to changes in air pressure, and drivers should be diligent in maintaining the proper tire pressure.

Fuel economy as well as handling ability can decline when tires are not inflated properly.

Wipers - Visibility is key in hazardous weather conditions, and keeping the windshield clean is a priority. This means ensuring there is enough windshield wiper fluid in the car and that it is a product that will not freeze. Wiper blades can freeze and crack in the winter. It’s a worthy investment to replace existing wiper blades at the start of each winter. When parked, pull the wipers off of the windshield to safeguard them from sticking and cracking.

Cold weather requires drivers to amp up their vehicle maintenance routines. Consult with a mechanic or automotive retailer for more ideas and products that can help your vehicles operate safely this winter.

Choose Lighter Fare This Thanksgiving Statistics indicate the average Thanksgiving dinner exceeds 3,000 calories.

That is more calories than a person should eat in an entire day, much less a single meal. Many people admit to indulging on bigger portions and more fattening foods come the holiday season, but choosing some lighter fare this Thanksgiving can make the meal healthier without sacrificing taste.

Many low-calorie foods can be included to make the meal healthier. The following are a few healthy substitutions or alterations holiday hosts can make when preparing their Thanksgiving feasts.

• Trim down the turkey. Play up the main course with aromatic seasonings or unexpected flavors. Use garlic, olive oil and basil to add a boost of flavor to turkey without having to rely on butter or salt. Marinate the bird with lemon juice and citrus marmalade for a sweet, yet pungent flavor.

• Opt for turkey breast. White meat of a turkey tends to have less fat and calories than the darker cuts. Serve turkey breasts only, which will not only cut down on calories, but also on the amount of time needed to cook.

• Make homemade cranberry sauce. Taking the time to make your own cranberry sauce means you can control the ingredients. Cut down on the amount of sugar used in the recipe or substitute it with honey or molasses.

• Reduce the number of courses. Extra courses can be expensive, but such massive spreads also lead many people to overeat. Stick to two or three courses, and chances are guests will not miss the extra food.

• Choose whole-grain breads. Sliced whole-grain breads or rolls paired with an olive tapenade will be flavorful and such breads are healthier than white bread and butter.

• Flavor vegetables with herbs. Vegetables grilled or sautéed with fresh herbs may be so flavorful they will not need added dressings that tend to be rich or cream or butter-based.

• Serve only low- or no-calorie drinks. Beverages add a substantial amount of calories to Thanksgiving meals.

• Serve fresh fruit for dessert. Create a fresh fruit salad that can be served in lieu of fatty cakes & pastries.

• Include activities: Plan activities, such as a game of football in the yard or a walk around the neighborhood.

This places a smaller emphasis on eating while giving guests the opportunity to burn off some of their meal.

Safety First When Stringing Holiday Lights Holiday decorations help make a special time of year even more memorable but safety must be a priority when decorating a home for the holidays. Accidents can happen no matter what type of holiday decorating you’re doing, but stringing holiday lights around your home may be especially dangerous. This season, keep the following safety tips in mind when stringing lights so this season of celebration starts off safe and sound.

• Work with at least one partner. Never go it alone when stringing holiday lights. Make sure someone is there to hold the ladder steady as you climb up and down. Partnering up when stringing holiday lights allows decorators to use both of their hands to climb up ladders instead of using one of their hands to carry lights • Inspect lights and wires before hanging them, replacing any that pose a hazard. When replacing bulbs, be sure to replace them with bulbs of equal wattage.

• Use an extension cord of adequate length. Exterior holiday lights are often plugged into extension cords that extend to a shed or garage. Do not connect several extension cords to power holiday lights; instead, use just a single cord that’s lengthy enough to reach the outlet. Connecting extension cords is a fire hazard.

• Make sure lights do not pose a safety hazard inside. Some people string holiday lights indoors as well. Staple lights to the wall and never place them beneath furniture or rugs. Lights can overheat when placed under rugs.

• Hang the correct lights. When stringing lights, make sure you hang lights designated as exterior lights on the exterior of your home and those designated as interior lights inside your home.
