Cannabis issue raised at commissioner meeting Discussion regarding acceptance tabled %\ .5,6 6&+())(/ Calhoun News-Herald The issue facing counties across the state, cannabis legalization, made its way to the Calhoun County Commissioners Thursday.

Among the list of items on the docket for the meeting, commissioners were scheduled to speak on what the county should do about its regulation and taxation. However, a proper discussion of the topic was tabled until Calhoun State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen would be present and give his legal advice on the matter.

In spite of this, the commissioners voiced concerns about the regulation and enforcement of legal cannabis in the county.

Illinois was the 11th state to legalize marijuana back in June. The bill will begin to take effect on Jan. 1, 2020, meaning that residents are legally

Furthermore, as it was noted, cannabis is not legal federally adding to the considerations of what this means not only for local government, but also those who will be entrusted with enforcing these laws. One such example of this was brought up by commissioner Doug Wilschetz, who noted that those with medical marijuana cards were denied the right to own a weapon because of federal regulations, which define marijuana as a controlled substance.

During the next meeting, however, the commissioners will be tasked with making the decision to permit the sale of recreational marijuana in the county.

This does not mean that a dispensary will be opening in Calhoun, though.

Any prospective dispensaries will still be required to acquire one of a limited (See, CANNABIS, A2)

here's a new sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle in town and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got four legs and a tail.

Sheriff Bill Heffington debuted his equestrian skills during the Batchtown Fall Festival when he led his mounted posse in the parade.

Horse riding is not a specialty of the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ridden since I was a teenager,â&#x20AC;? Sheriff Heffington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like I was riding a two story building. He was tall.â&#x20AC;?

But after the Batchtown event, Heffington said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now fielding requests to ride a horse in other events including Kampsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Settlers Days.

In a viral Facebook post, Chief Deputy Kyle Jacobs put

out the call for the Sheriff to ride in Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days and received wide support from locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who would like to see both Sheriff Bill and Deputy Nate on horseback at Old Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days?â&#x20AC;? Jacobs wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe we can make it happen - Nate already has a hat!â&#x20AC;?

Heffington is embracing the idea. He said it was funny, and he is looking forward to his next appearance on horseback despite being out of practice. He cracked a few jokes about having to swing the horse wide and being told the girth, a piece of equipment used to keep the saddle in place on a horse, should be secure enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was holding onto that (saddle) horn while throwing out candy,â&#x20AC;? he said.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Deer's ability to smell is remarkable Cannabis r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND A friend of mine recently sent me an article from a hunting magazine that explains why deer have such an amazing ability to smell—an ability to smell that is even better than that of a dog.

As you might suspect, there are physiological reasons for this.

That article, written by Clint A. McCoy, DMV, encouraged me to do a little more research on the subject, which, as a non-deer hunter, I find to be fascinating. Since it is now officially deer season here in Illinois, this would seem to be an appropriate time to talk about the deer’s unique ability to smell.

It is said a deer has not only the ability to smell things that are more than a half-mile away, they also have the ability to determine the specific direction from which that smell is coming.

This is due in large part to the deer’s long snout or nose, which contains more than 300 million olfactory receptors inside that are constantly analyzing the scent molecules coming in at all times. By comparison, we humans only have 5 million olfactory receptors.

The fact that deer also have large nostrils plays a big part in allowing them to determine the direction from which the scent molecules are coming.

Finally, an adult deer typically has an enlarged olfac-

tory cortex in the brain— four times the size of a similar organ in the human brain—that makes the final call whether to run or stick around, so to speak. This decision occurs after the scent molecules have been dissolved, analyzed and a report transmitted to the olfactory cortex from the olfactory receptors.

That decision whether to run or stick around is governed by several factors.

The first factor is instinct born into all deer. Certain scents will automatically trigger a fear or danger reaction; other scents trigger reactions based only upon those experiences in the deer’s life-time that have taught him that he has good reason to fear that scent if he ever smelled it again. That is why an older deer is that much harder to hunt.

As deer hunters know, there are variables in the atmosphere that will have an impact on the deer’s abilities to smell and detect on a particular day. For example, if the temperature is relatively cold, this means that molecules that are responsible for transmitting “scents” through the air may be slower moving through the atmosphere and this will affect the ability of a deer to inhale those molecules and to quickly process them.

If the atmosphere is unusually dry, this will impact the ability of the deer’s olfactory receptors to properly capture and dis-

C H R O N IC L E S

solve the scent molecules they are receiving. Wind direction and wind speed will also impact a deer’s ability to detect particular scents in the atmosphere.

But even if the atmosphere is not ideal from the deer’s perspective, they still have the ability to smell scent molecules on the ground-even molecules that have been on the ground for more than 24 hours.

Humans depend mostly on eyesight to survive; the ability to smell may be our weakest sense.

Deer on the other hand have poor eyesight to go with their empowered ability to smell.

That is why, when you encounter a deer in the wild, they will often move their head up and down and sideways as they look at you; they are trying to get a better perspective in order to determine what they are seeing.

In the meantime, they are hoping to catch a scent, and if you look closely, you can see that nose twitching just before they bolt away. Getting a good sniff of you will really narrow things down for them very quickly.

I guess we humans are

lucky we don’t have the highly developed sense of smell that deer or even dogs have. That could drastically change human relationships, couldn’t it?

Imagine coming into a room for a job interview and in front of you are five high-powered human noses taking turns giving you the full body once-over, just like your family dog does to strangers who come in your house—sometimes to the point that it is embarrassing for everyone involved.

Or being on that first date with someone who, with a couple of sniffs, would know all she needs to know about you in about three minutes—despite the Old Spice.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Things can become clear among the trees I started the morning sitting in a tree stand.

A few weeks ago, I had trimmed limbs and opened up some shooting lanes for this new stand placement. I think it is going to be a good one.

The cool morning was expected as well as the lingering fog that hovers over the hills, sometimes through the late morning.

That was the case on this particular day. As I peered toward the sky just before dawn, I wondered if what I was looking at was clouds instead of fog. But after a few more minutes I recognized the familiar look and feel of this hazy mist.

It wasn’t long until I could see the sun began to peek over the mountains just in front of me. It would have

its work cut out for it today as it began to slowly burn away the veil that was hiding everything from my view.

I was actually surprised how quickly the fog began to surrender to the sun, and it was not too many minutes later until it was all gone and everything around me became crystal clear. The lines between the objects that were blurred just a few minutes earlier were now distinct, prominent, and flawless.

As I watched this transformation, I was reminded of a quote from C.S. Lewis.

He said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

For him, Christianity gave perspective to the things in

(Continued from A1) Private nonprofits include hospitals, schools and churches as well as utilities, which are given the status because they are a necessity.

Under public assistance, two types of work qualify for federal assistance: emergency and permanent work.

Permanent work refers to measures taken to restore or repair a damaged structure to pre-flood conditions.

This work has 18 months to be completed following the federal declaration and can be granted an extension through FEMA. Emergency work is conducted primarily during the disaster event and can include debris removal and/or any action taken to protect lives. This work must be completed within the six months following the federal declaration.

During the briefing, however, it became apparent that as straightforward as these eligibility requirements may at first seem, they are anything but.

Curtis Caldwell of IEMA gave numerous examples throughout his presentation of projects that were denied funding largely because of a lack of documentation and followthrough of government procedure.

Road works and schools having lost hundreds of thousands in federal public assistance.

By contrast, however, he was saying that without a proper view of God, life is only one random and undirected action after another.

Or as Shakespeare’s Macbeth put it, “it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

There is no doubt life is full of head-scratching moments.

Some are fleeting; others shake our very foundation and leave us changed forever. The lens we view these through will either bring a sense of clarity or a deeper sense of confusion and despair.

I am not saying my faith makes me perfectly under-

ly, the underlying reality is that these are communities trying to rebuild and move on after a disaster.

It is unknown what exactly happened in these cases or the reasoning of those involved; however, a question from Grafton Mayor Rick Eberlin provided a new level of insight into the conflict between government procedure and natural disasters.

Eberlin presented an example of emergency work done to remove mud and silt off of Grafton’s main roads following the flooding — work that might not see any federal assistance because of the process through which it was done as Caldwell indicated.

For Caldwell, the main importance was documentation. He reinforced the importance of taking photos, documentation labor and of going through the proper channels.

For Mayor Eberlin, on the other hand, his main objective was ensuring the community could survive the impacts of the flood.

“I’m a practical individual.” he said. “We did what we had to do.

Otherwise, we would have been a ghost town to this day.”

The public assistance program is a critical step for communities attempting to rebuild after a disaster like the flood. Funding is shared with FEMA providing 75 percent of the costs after insurance payouts have been deducted.

If denied funds, applicants are able

to appeal within 60 days, but it is a lengthy process—one Caldwell said was not recommended.

Oct. 19 marks the 30th day following the federal declaration, and the day when public assistance applicants are required to have their FEMA Form 90-49, request for public assistance in to IEMA. From there, applicants can expect to receive a response from FEMA sometime in the beginning of November, where they will be notified if the application has been successful.

From there, specific requests for project funds can be made through IEMA who will sub-grant funds directly to the local governments and private nonprofits for those projects.

A two-hour public webinar will have been held by IEMA on Oct. 9 further explaining the procurement process.

For those with questions about public assistance or who were unable to attend the briefing, IEMA can be contacted via phone at 217-782-8719, or email at pa.grants@illinois.gov.

It was announced a couple of weeks ago that the Federal Declaration for flood assistance had been signed; however, for the 22 counties affected including Calhoun, individual assistance has been denied.

According the federal government, the amount of damages for residents and business owners was not sufficient to warrant federal assistance.

(Continued from A1) number of licenses granted by the state. However, there are other facilities such as farms and warehouses that need to be taken under consideration when it comes to policies such as zoning.

Hagen said there has already been interest in having a holding facility for recreation cannabis.

Nonetheless, recreational marijuana will be legal by 2020, and the decisions to be made by local governments are limited to regulation and taxation of businesses associated with the drug.

Individuals will still be permitted to obtain the drug outside of the county and use it legally within the county.

“You can’t stop it from being in your county,” Hagen said. “You can regulate it to not authorize the sale, but not regulate its use.”

Further discussion on the matter has been tabled until the next meeting on Monday, Oct. 21 at 5 p.m.

Thursday’s meeting also saw the commissioners move forward with the hiring of a flood project manager to assist in assessments and applications to obtain grant money. The county

“Then local officials can use that for flood forecasting and warnings,” Osman said.

The hope is that these local officials can better prepare for rising waters by knowing which buildings will require sandbagging first or where mitigation projects would have the greatest impact.

The highway department has been given the go ahead to begin work on a guard rail project that has been allocated federal funding.

The county, as a local recipient of the Emergency Food and Shelter fund, will be holding two distributions of ham rather than one of bulk groceries and another of ham for local families in need.

The commissioners discussed an agreement with First Logistics Group to host, once again, an electronic recycling trailer in the coming spring.

Residents will be able to recycle a variety of electronic goods including TVs, printers, computers and keyboards amongst other goods.

Judge Charles Burch proposed a salary increase for the county’s public defender who has not received a pay increase since 2006. The judge noted that the work of the public defender has changed with it no longer being “a one afternoon a week deal anymore.” The commissioners agreed to raise the salary by $5,000.

the series of gauges along the river, which can warn local residents and officials a week in advance what the flood stage will be. Paired with these first floor elevations, a better understanding of how rising waters will impact communities in places such as Calhoun can be obtained.

Osman stressed that the surveys will have no impact on flood plain maps, flood insurance or disaster funding.

The process will be brief and will not impact residents or their properties. Osman said that the surveying of Grafton took only two days to complete.

If there are further questions, residents are asked to contact IDNR at 217-7824544.

“They can do whatever they want, even if it’s unpopular with their constituents,” Davidsmeyer said.

Following this introduction, the floor was open to residents to voice their own concerns about the direction of the state government and new and upcoming legislation.

One concern voiced by several of the residents present was Senate Bill 1966,

bombing raid that the B-29s ever made.

which looks to amend the regulations surrounding the Firearm Owner’s Identification Card. Those looking to renew or apply for the card, if the legislation is passed, may be requested to provide fingerprints for a government database.

While a small part of SB1966, which aims to better identify individuals posing “a clear and present danger,” many at the town hall voiced concerns about giving that level of personal information to the government.

Others, such as local resident Marilyn Parsell, expanded on the discussions by asking what data was being gathered in order to identify which policies worked and which did not. “(Illinois) has been expanding gambling and now marijuana. My question is, do they have in place

what it costs families and hospitals and the state of Illinois—to say is it worth what we voted for?” Parsell said.

Davidsmeyer responded to the question by saying that the state probably does not collect the necessary data.

“There are certain pieces of data we do collect,” he said. “I don’t know that we have the data today that we can compare to the expansion.”

Following an update on the Cardinals’ game, discussions carried on centering on citizens’ concerns about history in schools, marijuana legislation and sanctuary cities.

The Senator and Representative concluded the town hall by inviting citizens to introduce themselves and ask questions or make comments one on one.

Edna Leone Fox, 88, of rural Hamburg, IL passed away Thursday morning October 3, 2019 at the Calhoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Hardin.

Leone was born February 26, 1931 near Mozier, a daughter of William Randolph “Rance” and Mary Ledona Goewey Preston. She first married Robert Weston Poore and he preceded her in death in 1955. She later married Frank Fox and he also preceded her in death.

Leone was a graduate of Pleasant Hill High School and was a long time member of the Hamburg United Methodist Church. In earlier years, she enjoyed singing, dancing and playing the harmonica.

Survivors include three

sons, Wesley (Dina) Poore of Hamburg, Randy (Sue) Fox of Tennessee and John Fox of Jerseyville, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren and a brother, William (Julie) Preston of Hamburg.

Leone was preceded in death by her parents, husbands and an infant daughter, Roberta Marie.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Lummis Funeral Home in Pleasant Hill. Burial followed at Hamburg Cemetery. Visitation was held one hour prior to the services on Tuesday.

Memorials may be made to the Hamburg Cemetery.

Lummis Funeral Home in Pleasant Hill is handling the arrangements.

Roadwork near Joe Page to run until November The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced that Illinois 16/100 will be intermittently restricted to one lane between the Joe Page Bridge and Busby Lane near East Hardin, a project which began Sept. 30.

Sheriff

(Continued from A1) While all fun and games, the Sheriff’s Department sees this sort of engagement as a broader effort to engage in the community.

“I’m just an outgoing guy,” Sheriff Heffington said. “I get involved.”

Heffington stressed the importance of public outreach as part of the larger mission to keep residents safe— a mission instilled in the department. He and his deputies regularly visit the schools and

flaggers. This work will take place daily between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and is necessary to replace the asphalt surface.

This work is expected to be completed by the end of November. The Contractor on this project is Charles E. Mahoney Co. of Belleville.

attend local events like the Batchtown Fall Festival.

“Something simple like that, riding a horse, is just another way for him to interact with citizens,” Chief Deputy Jacobs said.

Sheriff Heffington described his most recent experience on the four-legged giant as enjoyable and is game to make an appearance at Old Settler’s Days. Judging from the public’s reaction on Facebook, this sentiment is shared broadly..

“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.”

Psalm 96:3 NIV

t is sad how often our plans to do something worthwhile are hindered by fear. Maybe it’s the fear that things won’t work out as hoped, or that it will cost too much, or that others will think we are overstepping our bounds. It is perhaps wise to have second thoughts about large ventures.

Starting a business or charity, or deciding to go on a mission trip halfway around the world are serious, and sometimes risky ventures, and we do well to consider carefully how best to accomplish them. But human beings are made for adventure. There is an impulse to explore and accomplish great things in most of us.

Don’t we all want to impact the world positively? So why not pursue that dream you’ve had, or the calling that has been nagging at you? The Gospels call all of us to spread the good news to the ends of the earth.

With all of the problems around the world, and the ease of travel, this has become something that almost every person can do, especially when they have the support of a church or humanitarian organization. Think of all of the risks taken by the first Christians in spreading the good news and how much easier it is for us to do this nowadays. Instead of asking why we should do these great things, perhaps we should be asking why not?

The stages of breast cancer

Upon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in.

The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively.

Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.

Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started.

Breast cancer patients may hear the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiveyear survival rateâ&#x20AC;? when discussing their disease with their physicians. The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.

Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast.

The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters. But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters. The ACS notes that the five-year survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.

Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the tumor measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary

lymph nodes.

Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2 millimeters but no larger than two millimeters. Stage IIB may also be used to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors that are larger than five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers. The fiveyear survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.

Stage III Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size. In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer. The cancer may have spread to up to nine axillary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast. If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone. The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.

Stage IV Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The five-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent.

More information about breast cancer is available at www.breastcancer.org.

Breakthroughs in imaging technologies can help fight cancer Doctors and patients have many different tools available in the war against cancer. Imaging is one of the essential resources used in such battles. Imaging helps screen and diagnose cancer and can be used to guide treatments and determine the efficacy of various therapies. Therefore, advancements in imaging can have profound effects on the ability to manage and hopefully in the future - prevent or cure the disease.

The goal of cancer imaging is to detect the smallest possible number of tumor cells at the earliest possible time. Traditionally, X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, singlephoton emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography have been utilized as key cancer imaging techniques. These technologies are being studied and advancing.

Imaging probes are one area of imaging worthy of attention. The Center for Probe Development and Commercialization, a supplier of radiopharmaceuticals, is developing the next generation of molecular imaging probes.

They are designed to detect responses to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. CPDC also

has started to manufacture another probe designed to identify hypoxic tumors.

These probes work on a molecular level, according to data published in 2013 in the International Journal of Biomedical Imaging. Molecular imaging has the potential to greatly enhance understanding of various cancers.

Another cancer imaging and evaluation tool that is being produced and tested is called the MasSpec Pen, which enables a controlled and automated delivery of a water droplet to a tissue surface during tumor surgery or diagnostic exploration to extract biomolecules. The sample taken can immediately tell if cancer cells are present and distinguish tumors from healthy tissue.

Imaging has merged nanotechnology and conventional imaging tools with new developments.

These technologies are still in the testing phase.

Novel diagnostic probes with nanoparticles can improve imaging results.

A 2018 review paper published in the Journal of Controlled Release looked at how nanotechnology could improve the imaging and treatment of lung cancer. For example, gold nanoparticles work better

than iodine-based agents for CT imaging. Similarly, superparamagnetic ironoxide nanoparticles can be utilized with MRI for the ultra-sensitive reactions they produce.

Other imaging technologies in the works involve combining and improving the workflow of various methodologies.

Philips Medical Systemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ingenia MR-RT Oncology Configuration is a comprehensive solution that allows radiation oncology departments to integrate MRI into their computed tomographybased radiation treatment planning.

In addition to the imaging evolution itself, researchers have realized the limitations of the human eye to discern abnormalities or small changes from images collected. Therefore, technological advancements are enabling artificial intelligence to look for key signs in images and correlate changes to the aggressiveness of the disease. This can improve treatment success rates and reduce the chances for human oversight.

Imaging plays a key role in cancer diagnoses and therapies. Improving cancer imaging can improve treatment plans now and in the future.

Survival rates are on the rise Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited to a host of factors. Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts of various organizations to promote cancer prevention and raise awareness about the disease.

The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidencebased prevention strategies.

However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatly reducing their likelihood of surviving the disease.

Cancer that spreads to distant parts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often referred to as “stage IV cancer.” According to the National Cancer Institute, when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traits like that of the primary cancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from another part of the body.

When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the metastatic cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as

CANCER. lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung

cancer.

Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

What’s Happening

25 Years Ago October 12, 1994 The Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Federal Insurance Administration’s 1362 Program and Hazard Mitigation Program application was received last week.

The Village of Hardin has been awaiting the arrival of the FONSI in order to know what must be accomplished as a condition before any grant money can be awarded.

Hardin had applied for funding from several State and Federal Agencies to assist in relocating to higher ground after being severely damaged by the Great Flood of 1993.

The project includes the acquisition of 43 structures, with all properties acquired to be demolished and with the vacant property converted to appropriate open space use.

Another segment of the project involved the use of funding to support the relocation of the affected residents and institutions to a new Village site. The new site is comprised of approximately 20 acres of existing cropland and woodland. Federal and State funds will be used to provide the infrastructure improvements for the relocation outside of the 100-year floodplain.

50 Years Ago October 9, 1969 It finally happened after a dry spell of nearly two years. The Calhoun Warriors defeated North Greene Friday night there by a score of 20-19.

The Warriors had not tasted victory since the last game of the 1967 season when they defeated Pleasant Hill 7-0, and all the glory and enjoyment that goes with a victory is deservedly their’s.

North Greene scored

13 big points in the first period when Mark Thompson went over from the two yard line. A little latter, John Day romped 35 yards for a TD, after which Keller kicked the PTA. But the Warriors came back strong in the second period very much on the war path, when they scored all their points.

The first TD came, after the Warriors recovered a fumble, when Becker scampered over from the 6 yard line, and how he can scamper. The point after was missed. Later Mike Barry, quarterback, hit Jim Johnson, end, for 26 yards another score. Mike then passed to Johnson for the two points after, and this turned out to be the margin of victory.

Setting up the third TD Barry hit Klockenkemper with a 30 yard pass and a few plays later Becker scored from the 3 yard line.

NG scored its third TD in the third quarter when Mike Bell went over from the two yard line, but they failed to convert, leaving the final score 20-19.

The Spartans outgained Calhoun 289 yards to 141 and made 14 first downs to the Warriors 10, but Calhoun gained 120 yards in the air to the Spartans 20. Calhoun completed five out of 16 while the Spartans made but 1 for 7 tries.

Fumbles cost the Spartans plenty, but the Warriors made the fumbles in most cases, tackling the ball in real pro fashion. NG fumbled 10 times while Calhoun lost the ball but three times.

The Warriors had six penalties for 95 yards and the Spartans for 75 yards.

Neither had any passes intercepted.

75 Years Ago October12, 1944

An Albion, Iowa farmer who left the soil to become a technician in the Air Force is today working as a propeller specialist at an air base in the ETO. He is Sergeant Joseph W. Berrey, 36, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marquis O. Berry, of Batchtown, Ill. Sgt. Berrey has acquired a training in skill the results of which are paying off these days as he checks propellers in his unit, and constantly keeps them in in the tip-top condition necessary for the smooth operation of the powerful engines which carry the twin-engine Marauders aloft for attacks on the Continent.

100 Years Ago October 9, 1919 The folks of Calhoun county can feel proud of themselves and of the splendid work done by Calhoun County’s Chairman of the Illinois Tuberculosis Association, Superintendent of Schools S.J. Sibley, when they come to know that Calhoun county, through their Supt. of Schools, has, in the past two years, sold enough of the Christmas Seals in the fight on tuberculosis to have the services of a Community Nurse and that, as the following letter will explain, over one thousand dollars has been placed to the county’s credit in which to carry this work on. Mr. Sibley has informed us that he has notified the Executive Secretary of this association that the services of a community nurse is desired in Calhoun county and that we await her arrival. This work will be carried on throughout the school in the county and the fight on tuberculosis, if symptoms so exist, will be made in the youth during the first appearance.
