By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald According to a number of sources in the county, Calhoun County Tax Assessor Brandi Kieffer, an elected official, works on average one day each week.

Hardin attorney Ed Fanning said he began tracking Kieffer’s hours near the end of August because Kieffer was rarely in her office to talk about documents, deeds and legal descriptions. Several officials who work in the same facility as Kieffer have confirmed Fanning’s allegations.

Fanning said he confronted Kieffer about the issue and told her he would make her behavior public, adding Kieffer’s duties as a tax assessor may be conducted outside the office from time to time.

“Just because she’s not in her office, she could technically be working, if she was working,” Fanning said. “If she was going out and assessing property, that would be wonderful, but she’s not doing that.”

Kieffer became the county’s assessor in 1998 and her current salary is $33,742.03 per year, which was set by the county commissioners during a regular board meeting April 16, 2012. Kieffer was not reachable by telephone on Monday for comment and, according to employees in the building where she works, did not report for duty.

Fanning said the time during which she should be performing her duties in a professional capacity, she can be found conducting personal activities such as shopping, spending time at home or located in the Michael Tavern in Michael.

As tax assessor, Kieffer is also the chief county assessment officer, a position which requires certification. According to the Illinois Property Tax Code, a chief county assessment officer must have two years experience in the field of property sales, assessments, finance or appraisals; pass the chief county assessment officer examination conducted by the Department of Revenue; and possess one of a number of certificates from official assessment organizations that are either state or nationally recognized.

Fanning said the properties in Calhoun County are not being assessed nor are they being picked up on the tax rolls. An example, he added, involves a property in southern Calhoun where a home was built, but the property value was assessed as if a home did not occupy part (See, ASSESSOR, A2)

Heffington said toxicology reports have not returned from the toxicology lab, adding he believes the death was an accident, and suspects no foul play.

Heffington said it was an unfortunate accident during time spent with friends.

“They were just a bunch of friends out having a good time, and it absolutely turned tragic,” Heffington said.

The investigation is still being conducted as to how Weyen fell of the trailer, but all indications point to him losing balance prior to the fall that resulted in fatal injuries.

Brussels School Board approves installation of video cameras on school buses

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels School Board approved the purchase of video cameras to be installed on the rest of the school buses following the pilot test on one school bus this year.

Dr. Mark Martin, Brussels schools superintendent, said the board was very pleased with the quality of the video as well as the sound and opted to purchase additional units for the remaining school buses.

“I had the opportunity to demonstrate to the board the quality of the video of this system we bought as a pilot,” Martin said.

Since the implementation of the video cameras, Martin said there hasn’t been a need to review any tape for disciplinary reasons; however, one girl did injure her head while on the bus.

Martin said some questions remained as to how it happened, and upon reviewing the tape clearly saw she had lost her footing and as she fell she hit her head. Though the injury was painful, Martin said it was good to know what happened so it could be prevented in the future.

The cameras to be installed are one year

old, he said, adding the cost to buy a new camera is around $1,600 per camera without installation. The used ones are $800 per camera with installation and come with a one-year warranty.

Additionally, the board heard and approved a presentation of the audit by Croxford and Co. PC for the district which came as good news for the board and superintendent.

The Illinois State Board of Education scores districts on a four-point scale with four being the highest score possible, Martin said, adding Brussels schools receive a 3.9 score from the state this year. Compared with past years, Martin said the funds in the accounts have continued to rise, creating a stable, working cash flow for the district.

“Our fund levels were continuing to rise, some of them just slightly, but headed in the right way,” Martin said. “We were pretty happy with that.”

The board also approved to spend $1,645.60 to repair connectivity issues when it came to computers in the library and computer lab at the high school. Computer Rescue from Jerseyville assisted the school with the problems by running new cables

and performing a number of repairs and fixes to the system to maintain a stable connection, he said.

The board also acknowledged the success of the elementary school book fair which raised $1,080. Some people who purchased the books donated them back to the school, he said, and the school will receive $100 for more textbooks because of the fair’s success.

In other business, the board: n Approved to use REAP funds, money with an expiration date given to rural school districts, to purchase laptops and iPads for the schools. n Discussed the upgrading of the plumbing for the elementary school where the toilets were in dire need of repair due to calcium build-up. The boys’ bathroom was first to receive the treatment, girls’ bathroom will follow. All repairs are done by the high school shop teacher, Chad Brodbeck, and occasionally some high school students. n Approved to set the tax levy hearing Dec. 18 at 6:30 p.m. before the regular school board meeting. n Approved to apply for state recognition of schools for both the elementary and the high schools.

Heffington said the call about the accident came at 11:18 p.m. and he arrived on the scene two minutes later. The scene was very dramatic, he said, adding he did his best to calm down witnesses of the accident to find out what happened.

An emergency team from Pittsfield along with Calhoun County ambulances also arrived on the scene but after attempts at reviving Weyen failed, who is said to have worked in Pleasant Hill, he was pronounced dead at 12:25 a.m. Sunday.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Presbyterian Church in Hardin will host a charity yard sale Saturday including clothes, toys and other items to raise money for this year’s Baalman Toy Drive.

Tonya Brown, organizer for the charity yard sale, said this is her first attempt at organizing and running a fundraiser for charity, but said she has been involved in numerous charities for many years.

“I do charity work every year. I have one of those hearts that when I hear something sad, it brings me down,” Brown, who moved to Calhoun County four years ago, said, “and so it helps me to do things like this.”

Brown said she has planned many activities in which children may participate during the event Saturday, and all of them are for a relatively low cost. Four tickets are sold per dollar, Brown said, and those tickets may be spent on any of the items for sale or children’s games including ring toss, bean bag toss, frogger jump and many other activities.

Most prices are a matter of one to two tickets, Brown said, adding all the money raised during the day will be used to purchase toys C

for the Baalman Toy Drive, an annual toy drive which helps the less fortunate children in Calhoun get toys for Christmas.

Brown said she had spoken with Many Baalman, organizer for the Baalman Toy Drive, and learned a recent poker run did not raise as much money as Baalman was hoping.

“That was my cue right then and there to head and put this forward,” Brown said, adding she had worked at a toy drive in Jerseyville last year.

Three months ago, Brown said she stood at the four-way stop in Hardin with a can to raise money for a friend who was diagnosed with brain cancer. Charity work crept into her family culture, as well.

Brown said her father, Dennis Lacey, is going to dress up as Santa Claus for the event where children can get a picture for $7. And her children have also involved themselves in the effort by sorting through their toys and choosing which ones to sell.

Vendors will also be selling goods, she said, and the good will displayed by the owners of the businesses is astounding.

“The vendors that I’ve hand-picked are vendors that I know that are struggling financially,” Brown said. “So not only are they help-

ing with donations and raffles, they’re helping to gain potential customers which in turn helps them make money.”

Brown said a few years ago, her son, Elliot Cheek, had multiple surgeries which put a serious strain on her family’s finances. During a scheduled benefit, she said she was overwhelmed by the support of the community.

“You wouldn’t believe the people that were there to help,” Brown said, adding the experience really opened her eyes, “and at that time in my life, I always vowed that as soon as I knew I was back on my feet and I was able, I would help in any way I could.”

The effort is starting to show itself with constant charity work for communities both in Calhoun and surrounding counties, but Brown said it’s about more than just fulfilling the promise she made for herself.

“Everything I’m doing is to help some one, not just kids,” Brown said.

The charity yard sale is still looking for volunteers for the event, and Brown said those interested in volunteering or who have items to donate are encouraged to contact her at (618) 535-5848. Due to issues of capacity, Brown said she requests larger items be brought to the church either Friday or Saturday.

Letters to the editor

CALHOUN COUNTY

Mutual County Fire Insurance Co.

Questions tax assessor’s work schedule TO THE EDITOR: Citizens of Calhoun County, in this tough economy jobs are hard to find. How would you like to have a job making $32,759.26 per year.

Sound good? The best is yet to come. For this type of salary, you only have to work less than a day per week. This job has retirement benefits and you have your own staff that works for you.

In addition to the annual salary and your own staff, you are going to receive a stipend from the State of Illinois. That stipend varies from year to year, but heck, you are only working one day a week. Some weeks you can even work a half a day for that week. Maybe you don’t even want to come in to work at all that week. Another good factor is the job is local! You can work that job right here in Calhoun County and never have to drive to St. Louis, Alton or cross the river. How does such a job sound to you?

I know, you are all waiting with baited breath thinking “where is such a job, that this is a fictitious job.” No, it is a real job. Would you like me to tell you what job that is? It is the Calhoun County Tax Assessor.

The month of September 2012 your Tax Assessor averaged less than one day per week that she actually showed up at the office and worked. Some of you say, this can’t be, is it true? I have personally documented the times

when she was in her office and when she was not. It was actually fairly easy to document because she was rarely there. You say, “Our County Commissioners would not let this go on. They would put a stop to this”. Oh but they don’t. Ask yourself where are the County Commissioners on this issue. Their position is they have talked to her about this, but they cannot do anything about it. Don’t the County Commissioners control the budget of the Tax Assessor? If this individual has so much leisure time that she doesn’t even have to work a full day per week, then why does she need such an extensive budget to cover her office. Well I guess if you have such an extensive budget and staff, then I suppose you don’t have to show up at your office.

Citizens of Calhoun, our county has had to cut budgets from the Sheriff’s Department, not give pay raises to other departments, yet we have a Tax Assessor who doesn’t even show up to her office. If you are wanting to talk to her, you have better odds of catching up with her at the Michael Tavern during business hours than you do at the tax assessors office. Now, if this upsets you as much as this upsets me, please call your commissioners and DEMAND that they do something to remedy this situation. Better yet, if you are interested in such a job and if you are

willing to work more than one day a week, then you should apply for such a job and maybe the citizens of Calhoun County will elect a new Tax Assessor, one that will actually show up for the job and earn YOUR tax dollars that she collects as her salary.

Stay tuned and I will report to you the amount of time that your tax assessor puts in for the month of October, of which the first two days she has not showed up for work. Also, next month I will further explain how her lack of showing up for work costs you, and the impact this behavior has on your schools and all your taxing districts when the Tax Assessor is not there to do her job.

Citizens of Calhoun County, it is time to say enough is enough. Public officials should be accountable for their actions. If they refuse to do their job, it is time to vote those individuals out. Whether it be your Tax Assessor or your County Commissioner. We need to get someone in office that will stop the frivolous spending of OUR tax dollars. Just take her salary and donate it to a charitable organization. At least our hard earned tax dollars would be doing some good instead of paying a salary to someone who is not earning it.

EDWARD J. FANNING Hardin, Ill.

Urges Yes vote for the future of Highway 1 TO THE EDITOR: I am a member of the Calhoun Trails Partnership, an adjunct group of the Calhoun Community Foundation. The Foundation was founded six years ago and is comprised of local citizens concerned about our county’s future.

The CCF’s stated mission is to promote the health and wellness of Calhoun and increase recreational opportunities for our residents as well as visitors. The organization’s other documented goal is to develop marketing strategies to assist Calhoun in garnering tourism dollars to help with our depressed local economy while maintaining our rich farming heritage and valuing our thriving hunting industry. With these initiatives in mind, four years ago the CCF asked for volunteers to revisit the development of hiking and biking trails in Calhoun County.

To be sure, I did not naively join the trail blazing team. I had not forgotten the strong rejection of the Scenic By-Way, which proposed a route along County Highway 1 through Calhoun County. The By-Way proposal and its immediate slap down occurred in the early 1990s before the 1993 flood. For over 20 years of watching Calhoun weather multiple floods, of witnessing many established businesses in Calhoun close down, of wondering where in our county could citizens, families, youth and seniors go to safely engage in year round recreational outdoor activity, I decided to “suit up” and join the Trail committee in 2008.

For three years, under the skilled and diligent leadership of Dale Hagen, our group explored the subject, meeting with representatives on the district, state and federal levels. Opponents of trails were also invited to the meetings for our committee welcomed their input and wanted to hear and address their objections.

Our committee engaged all interested parties in this challenging initiative. It was emphasized that any enterprise would have to be funded by outside sources. Calhoun taxpayers, under no circumstances, would financially support any

trail project.

After the lengthy process of gathering data, the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners formally applied for a $20,000 IDNR feasibility grant to study and propose walking and biking routes in the county. In 2011, Calhoun was the only county to receive the grant.

Immediately after the commissioners accepted the grant and before the feasibility study team was even hired, the anticipated slap down, shoot down, cut it off and plow it under attacks began.

Personally, what is the deepest cut of all is portraying the Calhoun Foundation as a subversive group seeking to destroy the quality of life we all enjoy in the county. Again, the Foundation’s objectives are to improve the health and wellness of our citizens, ensure the safety of our roadways and enhance Calhoun’s economic opportunities by increasing employment and local revenue through tourism.

After a phased process of collecting data, the study team is recommending state ownership and management of County Highway 1 from Hardin to the Brussels Ferry. Elevate the section of the highway near the Brussels Ferry to prevent flooding and inaccessibility. When the highway is resurfaced, make upgrades for a wider shoulder to accommodate multiple uses (cars, trucks, farm machinery, walking and biking). How could these recommendations not be beneficial to Calhoun’s future?

First, IDOT’s ownership and maintenance of Highway 1 would free up needed county funds to improve other Calhoun roads. Currently, under the excellent leadership Barry Webster, the County Highway Department does a commendable job with their limited resources.

Second, elevating the stretch of Highway 1, making access to the Brussels Ferry reliable would be a historic improvement. Before 2012, Calhoun endured four consecutive years of multiple floods, blocking access to and from southern Calhoun County. What a hardship the “Ferry Closed” sign places on Calhoun residents, espe-

cially our commuting work force whose daily expense increases dramatically with every ferry closure and no relief in sight. Elevating the highway would not force emergency vehicles to find alternative routes during flooding. Local businesses (orchards, restaurants) who rely on tourists as customers also suffer from accessibility problems caused by floods.

Third, resurfacing Highway 1 with a wider shoulder would improve the safety of our county’s main thoroughfare. Large farm equipment could use the wider shoulder to move away from ongoing traffic. A new shoulder lane would allow residents and visitors a place to exercise out of the direct path of traffic. As one of the young people interviewed said, “Wouldn’t it be great to ride a bike to the Hardin pool for a swim?”

Throughout Calhoun’s history, its people have worked and adapted the land to survive.

Early Calhoun pioneers profited by clearing hundreds of acres of land selling timber to help build St. Louis and beyond. After the land was cleared and the timber was sold, Calhounians planted thousands of acres of apple orchards, which were marketed, throughout our country.

When the apple business became unprofitable, local farmers cleared the land again to begin cultivating crops.

The point I wish to make is Calhoun has adapted with the changing times to survive and prosper. I suggest that once again in its evolving history, Calhoun should open itself to new opportunities and capitalize on its beautiful natural resources.

On Election Day, Nov. 6, we, the citizens of Calhoun, have the change to create a stronger future for our county. Unified in purpose, we can make our voices heard to improve our transportation, recreational and economic opportunities.

Please vote Yes for the future of Highway 1.

JUDY BURCH Calhoun Trails Partnership Golden Eagle, Ill.

Says nothing to lose, everything to gain TO THE EDITOR: President Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in his first inaugural speech “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself…nameless, unnecessary, unjustified terror which paralyzes effort to convert retreat into advance.”

This is exactly the mindset that has been spread by individual(s) who oppose any effort to improve the health and economics of Calhoun County.

Their opposition consists of rambling, confusing

and untrue statements covering a wide range …..all designed to spread fear; their comment about green this, green that has nothing to do with the trails proposal. It reminds me of the politician who said he was for something before he was against it, before he was for it. Those who use the four letter word, FEAR, usually do so because they cannot explain their position in a clear and truthful manner.

The Calhoun Trails Partnership has no secret

agenda; all info has been available via four countywide open houses. This trails proposal does not mean that trails will ever be developed; it simply means that by voting Yes on Nov. 6 , it will provide the opportunity to consider this possibility in the future. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

DALE HAGEN Chairman Calhoun Trails Partnership Brussels, Ill.

County engineer’s position on bike trail TO THE EDITOR: I have been following the debate on the bicycle trails issue. Some of the information I have read and heard is misleading or false.

Currently, we have a countywide bike trail, in that bicyclists have the right to ride on any state, county, township, or city road in the county. The upcoming vote on the issue, whether pro or con, will not change the rights of the bicyclist to use these roads.

The Calhoun Trails Partnership is trying to get a dedicated bike trail in the county. The study that was recently done shows the most logical route would be along County Highway 1.

I, along with the Trails Committee, agree that the only way this can happen is if the state takes over jurisdiction of this highway. I can assure you that I would never agree to the use of any county funds to construct or maintain a dedicated bike trail.

The county has been trying for years to get

the state to take over this road, which according to the State of Illinois Road and Bridge Laws, by definition, is their responsibility. They are responsible for roads carrying through-traffic through the county, and the county is responsible for local traffic. County Highway 1 leads to another county, and it also branches off and goes to the Golden Eagle Ferry that goes to another state, definitely through-traffic, not local traffic.

People have said the state will never take over County Highway 1 because the state is broke.

Their General Fund may be in trouble, but their Highway Fund should be in good shape. The state’s road funds come from the major portion of the Illinois motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees and the state share of the federal gas tax. The county funding is based on a portion of Illinois motor fuel tax that has been decreasing every year for over 10 years because of decreased fuel usage in the state and county taxes. The state keeps 100 percent of the vehicle registration fees

that have been increasing due to the increase in license plate fees. They have also benefited from the recent issuing of larger weight license plates because of the increase to the weight limits on roads to 80,000 pounds.

From my funding sources, I have around $12,000 to spend on the county roads per mile, and $2,400 per mile for township roads. The state has over $135,000 of revenue for each mile of road they maintain.

I hope the voters of Calhoun trust me and vote in favor of the bike trail. I see nothing to gain in voting against the bike trail, but everything to lose in that we lose a bargaining chip in getting I.D.O.T. to take over the maintenance of County Highway 1, and the recreational and economic benefits of having a dedicated bike trail in the county.

BARRY WEBSTER Calhoun County Engineer Fieldon, Ill.

My vote, my future LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Your vote can help decide the future of agriculture in the United States.

This year is an election year. Did you know that? Judging by this year’s voter turnout numbers for the primaries, most Illinoisans don’t.

In fact, Chicago-area precincts reported vote turnout for the March 2012 primaries at around 24 percent – the lowest voter turnout in more than 70 years. Downstate Illinois numbers were just as discouraging, ranging anywhere from 16 percent to 30 percent voter turnout.

With a number of weighty, and at times, overwhelming, issues facing agriculture this year, it’s easy to see why some registered voters, farmers included, may see the upcoming election as a waste of time. After all, one vote isn’t going to make the difference, right?

Wrong.

Considering the 2000 presidential election was decided by just 537 votes and a lengthy

recounting process, it’s easy to see that one vote can make a difference.

Still, despite the fact that history is littered with nominees who lost close elections in presidential or primary election, voter turnout continues its downward slide. In fact, voter turnout percentages in presidential elections have fallen from 63 percent in 1960 to just 56.8 percent in 2008 and the 2008 presidential election actually boasted a higher voter turnout than the five presidential elections before it.

So, why have so many people decided it’s just not worth it to vote? Perhaps they’re tired of the political process. Or, perhaps they really do feel like they aren’t going to make a difference. Whatever the reason, participating in the selection of our elected officials is the duty of every American of legal voting age.

Voting enables American citizens the right to decide who will help balance the state and federal budgets, who will help create jobs for

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

American citizens and who will help decide important agricultural issues like the estate tax, regulations, international trade, farm supports and many, many more.

Eighty percent of the Illinois’ land is involved in production agriculture. In fact, agriculture employs more people in the state of Illinois than any other industry. To help ensure that agriculture continues to be a profitable industry for the state and a beneficial industry for the country, you have a job to do. You have to vote this November.

As you consider for which candidates to vote, remember to educate yourself about how each candidate will handle issues important to you and to agriculture. And remember, your vote is equal to your future.

Assessor

(Continued from A1) of the property.

“So, for two years, the value of this expensive house was not even on the tax rolls,” Fanning said.

“That’s thousands of dollars being lost.”

In 2012, Fanning said Kieffer has spent a total of two days on the road assessing properties in the county, adding because the assessments aren’t being done properly, some homes are being assessed at values much higher than their actual worth, putting unnecessary strain on taxpayers.

Fanning said voting somebody new into Kieffer’s position is the best option, but the only way he said the problem would change is by calling upon the county commissioners to cut her budget. The county commissioners approve budgets for county offices each year, but have not yet approved them for the fiscal year 2012-2013.

In 2010, her budget was at its lowest in the last four years with $76,111, but since that time, it has only risen, with this year’s commissioner-approved budget totaling $81,287. Though neither her deputy nor her chief deputy have received a raise in four years (the chief deputy receives $23,581

and the deputy receives $20,446 annually), Kieffer has seen a steady increase in her salary since 2010.

“If she has two people that show up full-time and she doesn’t need to work,” Fanning said, “then she doesn’t need two people. Don’t get me wrong. They are good employees and good people, but we can reallocate them, move those county employees to a different department where people are actually working.”

Fanning said Kieffer is competent and capable of the job, but said because she does not show up, the work is not getting done.

“It’s time for the people in this county to wake up, get somebody that’s qualified to run against her, and get her out of office,” Fanning said.

According to Illinois law, the position may be either elected or appointed. During the last general election, Calhoun County residents voted down a referendum which would make the position appointed by the county board. Kieffer currently is running unopposed on the November ballot.

Attempts to reach Kieffer were made to the assessor’s office and Michael Tavern. Her home telephone number could not be located.

Letters to the editor

In favor of safety tax LETTER TO THE EDITOR: On Nov. 6 we will be going to the polls to vote on several important issues. One of those issues is the Safety-Tax (.75 of a penny). There have been questions pertaining to items that can be taxed and items that will not be taxed. Below are a list of non-taxed items and what the revenue from taxed items can be used for as per Rita Hagen, Calhoun County Clerk.

Items that will not be taxed: Prescription and non-prescription drugs; groceries, other than alcoholic beverages and soft drinks; medical appliances and insulin; farm implements and input items;

property that is titled or registered with an agency of state government; and property that is not sold at retail.

The Safety Tax can be used to benefit: Anything that has to do with operating a public health department, court system, law enforcement, county highways, ambulance, disaster emergency agency.

Calhoun County Farm Bureau® urges you to vote Yes on the safetytax to provide additional financial support for our county.

It may seem a little early to get started on Christmas related activities, but that’s not so when the priority is helping those in need have a great holiday. The Southwest Illinois Division of United Way needs organizations to help out with their annual Community Christmas event by serving as a donation dropoff location.

“Our goal this year is to have 160 boxes for donations throughout the area at different organizations where anyone can drop off items throughout the day,” said Dawna Gilbreath, coordinator of Community Christmas. “Last year, we had around 100, but this is such a generous and compassionate community to help those that are less fortunate that I think we can reach this goal.”

Community Christmas begins Monday, Nov. 5, when boxes will be delivered to participating businesses and will remain there until Dec. 13. Donations to be placed in the boxes include non-perishable food items, new clothes for all ages, new winter weather necessities like gloves, hats and scarves, blankets, baby care items, hygiene items and of course new toys. Cash donations are also accepted and should be sent to United Way at 263 South Sixth Street, Wood River, Ill. 62095 and marked as Attn: Community Christmas.

Right now, United Way is working hard getting these boxes confirmed for placement throughout the community. “Currently we have over 50 organizations already committed to having donation boxes in their facilities,” Gilbreath said.

“This is a great start, but there are a lot more opportunities to help.”

All it takes to be a donation dropoff location is to have a box, or two

The Trademark Logo meeting for fruit and produce growers scheduled Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. at the Riverdock has been postponed and may be rescheduled at a later date.

and even three, located in the main entrance or another easily accessible area where anyone can drop off items during business hours.

The boxes are provided courtesy of Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery and are of no cost to host organizations.

Gilbreath is confident that the donations and participation will exceed last year’s numbers. “This is a community that is filled with people who genuinely care about the needs of others,” she said.

Last year, Community Christmas brought in more than 50 volunteers, 100 boxes, and received roughly 20,000 items donated.

Donations received will go to support 14 local agencies to help those in need of these items during the holiday season. Many of these organizations greatly depend on the donations from United Way’s Community Christmas to help those in the area have a great holiday.

Besides needing business to host donation boxes, volunteers for a variety of activities are also essential to the success of United Way’s Community Christmas. “We have several ways for volunteers of all ages to get involved, and it’s going to be a really fun and rewarding experience for all who participate,” Gilbreath said.

Volunteer opportunities include prepping the boxes with festive signs and labels, delivering boxes to host sites, picking up donation-filled boxes once Community Christmas comes to a close, and sorting and loading the thousands of items donated for pick-up by the agencies.

For those interested in hosting a box, volunteering or for more information, call United Way’s Southwest Illinois Division at 618-251-0072.

M NEY MATTERS

Selling in a slow economy When the economy is slow, consumers tend to tighten their purse strings. Conservative shoppers may skip bigticket items or carefully consider each penny they spend.

This can make it challenging for businesses to turn over inventory.

Any business -- large or small -- may be faced with cyclical periods of slow business. But since the recession fell over the country like a suffocating blanket, some businesses are finding it hard to stay afloat and move merchandise or services. The economic downturn of the last several years has been much more pronounced than those that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. That means fewer people have disposable income to spend, and business owners might need to work extra hard to entice consumers to buy their products.

Forget Luxury Very few people are spending money on luxury items these days. Therefore, to be successful you may have to reposition products and services as necessities rather than idle wants. During a recession, consumers may only spend money on necessities or items that will improve their quality of life. Fluff items will be weeded out.

Therefore, look at ways to turn your items into musthaves. For example, gear them toward health, children and pets. A massage therapist may want to focus less on the spa experience of a massage and talk more about the health benefits.

Convince People of Need Consumers don’t accessorize as much during a recession as they might when the economy is healthy. Instead,

they’re looking for the bare necessities or items that will help them down the road, such as a life insurance policy or a new roof on the house. If yours is an item that may not have immediate worth, try to transform it into a need. A customer may not have to put new tires on his car right now, but stressing how doing so can improve gas mileage while saving money in the long run could be enough to entice customers to buy. Necessary products will enjoy lower income elasticity than luxury items, and you want to cater to this area.

Create Other Spending Incentives Deep pricing cuts can be counterintuitive to your business model. Also, it also may alienate customers who think low price indicates poor quality. Rather than slashing prices to entice spending, think about other ways you can make your items more affordable. Some business owners create their own methods of financing or layaway. This enables small payments to be made with the end goal of ownership. There’s also the option of offering an incentive such as “buy one, get one.”

Go With a Loss Leader Sometimes the hardest thing is getting people into the store to buy. But research indicates that once customers are in a store, they are likely to purchase something.

Some businesses like to advertise with a loss leader.

This is essentially a very low price on one item that gets people into the store, where the rest of the items are not on sale. Although it could mean a profit loss on the discounted item, usually it is made up in profits from selling additional items.

Your Calhoun County

Calhoun News-Herald

NEWS

Hardin, Illinois

commissioner candidates were asked for their views on several issues facing the county.

Gene Breden, Rep.

Patrick Droege, Dem.

Phil Robeen, Rep.

Gregory Rose, Dem.

Taxes in Calhoun County are:

very high. Without an additional source of tax revenue, property taxes will remain high to support our schools and provide services to our citizens.

similar to the other Counties in the area, they are higher than some but less than others, so I don't see how there can be much change and the county still survive.

high. We live in a Rural Area with a relatively low population.

So more road surface per person = high taxes. Less people to pay for schools = high taxes.

high and must be a certain level to maintain our schools and roads.

However, we need to be fiscally responsible with the money collected and find other sources of revenue.

What do you bring to the table other candidates may not?

I have experience in Calhoun County government having served as Building Inspector and Emergency Services Coordinator. I can provide leadership due to my military experience and work in civilian industry.

The only thing is that I have been going to most of the commissioner meetings for about the past 12 months, so therefore I know more about what is going on in the county.

I will bring problem solving and project management skills from one of the nations top corporations, along with my experience from serving on the Hardin Town Board.

I have leadership and cooperative skills from the military, over 20 years plant management experience, and the ability to see the big picture and how today's actions affect the future.

What is your view on the referendum for the sales tax increase?

I feel that the sales tax increase is needed to support emergency services in Calhoun; however, this tax money should be carefully monitored to insure that taxes are spent appropriately.

In an emergency, all citizens expect services from the county and we are not always able to fund these services.

I don't especially like to see a tax increase, but Calhoun County is operating on a very tight budget and I don't see any other way to help the Sheriff's Dept. with their budget without it.

The way I understand it all the money from this tax goes for safety.

I am in favor of the referendum for Public Safety. This money will go to crime prevention, police, medical, ambulance and other emergency services. This tax referendum does not include increases on groceries, prescription drugs, and automobiles.

This would bring us to 7% total tax rate, still the lowest around.

I support the sales tax referendum. This small tax will go far to help balance our budget, without having much of an impact on Calhoun residents' budgets.

The most important function of a county board member is:

to provide the citizens with good government and ensure that citizen services are maintained while keeping a balanced budget.

Commissioners must be vigilant that tax money is not wasted and to make the hard decisions when needed.

I think that all of the functions of the county board is important, but the most important is to make sure that everyone operates within their budget and that all departments get the correct amount and not overspend. Spending the money wisely.

listening to and addressing the needs and concerns of the County residents with the resources that are available. Decisions have to be made to prioritize and fund the needs and concerns that are necessary to public safety, health, and economic well being of the County and its residents.

A County Board member must always consider what is best for all residents, not just a few. One must think about the longterm impact, as well as the immediate benefit of actions. A County Board member must always remember he represents the people, not himself.

What programs do you consider most vital and deserving of the highest protection from budget cuts?

All elected county officials are equally deserving of a fair budget. Each elected official is an integral part of the county government.

Cutting one office will only weaken the whole county structure. Police protection will not exist if taxes are not assessed or collected. We must maintain a balanced approach.

I feel the most important and vital for the county is our community safety protection and law enforcement. The county cannot survive without law enforcement and 3 officers are not hardly enough to patrol the whole county and do it properly. Roads are also a vital part for the county.

Public Safety and education are vital.

However, all programs must be evaluated for current spending and value provided to the tax payer. The County only takes in so much money; adjustments are likely to have to be considered. We must live within our means; some programs may have some sacrifice.

Our education and transportation must be sustained. Our future is the children and our ability to thrive today is our roads. We must also continue to take care of our elderly, who got us to today.

How would you address budget shortages in county offices?

I would address budget shortages in county offices by reducing the amount of waste. County vehicles are driven to employee’s homes outside of Calhoun causing excessive fuel costs and unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicles. A personnel manual should be developed for county employees addressing time sheets, compensatory time and policies.

Elected officials are required by Illinois statutes to stay within their budget and this has not been enforced by the Commissioners.

I worked with budget for many years, so I would have to look over the budget and see how the money is being spent. Sometimes you have to tighten the belt and cut back some until the money comes in. Maybe the money has not been too wisely spent in the past.

Did the commissioners earn as much money as they were getting.

Needs looking into!

Individual County offices must maintain operations within their budget. A fundamental problem with government budgets; everybody wants to spend every dime in their budget for fear that the surplus funding will be removed in the next year. Budgets are created for a reason and must be adhered too.

Treat money as if it were yours and spend wisely. Offices must pass this test. Is my office bringing the taxpayer value and necessity for their money?

I realize all office budgets can't be 100 percent planned, as there are variables throughout the year.

However, we CAN be smarter about how money is spent. County vehicles should not travel to employee's homes outside the county. There must be continuity across the offices, for shared resources and decisions.

It seems the trails Partnership keeps changing their plans on where they are going to put the trail. I'm against the trails, for one thing the county does not have the money for the trails and if they get the money for the trails, there is no money for the upkeep. The State of Ill. Has no money to take over the highway from Hardin to the ferry and put in a trail.

I am a little amused that IDNR would rather spend $20,000 on a study rather than cleaning and putting toilet paper in their restrooms, mowing or putting any effort into trash pickup at the river access areas in the County. My children will not be riding their bikes on a widened roadway with 55 mph traffic. The State and County are both broke, this is not the right way to spend our tax money.

I keep hearing negative things about it, but I believe that if you have the right people in office and they work together things will get better. Times are tough right now and Calhoun is not the only one having trouble and I believe in Calhoun, I love living there and things will turn around.

Voters have to make the best choices.

Currently residents of the County do not have an opportunity to voice their opinions with the afternoon meetings the County Board has been holding for the last several years.

If elected I will welcome the comments and thoughts of the residents and not hide behind an afternoon meeting. The property tax situation needs to equalize, some folks are getting killed with Taxes while others do not seem to be paying their share.

What is your stance on the Calhoun Trails Partnership's proposal for County Highway 1?

I believe that recreation and tourism are very important to Calhoun County but I also believe that the county is not in a financial position to fund this proposal. An agreement with the State of Illinois Department of Transportation to assume maintenance of County Highway 1 should be in place before approval is given by the voters of Calhoun County.

What is your view of the current state of Calhoun County?

Calhoun County is enduring difficult times as a result of cuts in State of Illinois funding to our schools and county offices. Many workers in Calhoun County are still unemployed after the housing collapse.

Out of state buyers are buying large parcels of property in Calhoun.

Our county is changing whether we like it or not.

We need to adapt to the times by encouraging businesses to locate here and contribute to our tax base.

Chris Behrens, Dem.

Larry Wieneke, Rep.

Dick Stelbrink, Dem.

No information submitted

Unfortunately taxes are necessary but not to the point of causing hardship for the county residents.

as necessary as they are anywhere else if services to the public are to be maintained.

needed to provide the funding for necessities of the citizens' lives of Calhoun County.

No information submitted

It is important to communicate with other counties and bring back to our county ideas that will help to improve on the programs we already have in place.

I have an Associate's Degree in Accounting and fourteen years of experience when I was a Postmaster of maintaining a budget and operating within it.

Calhoun Native, EMT and Trainer -12 years, Ambulance Board Member - 6 years, School Board Member 4 years, Firefighter - 30 years, Vietnam Veteran, Retired - it's time to serve my county.

No information submitted

I understand why it is being considered but I don’t agree that it will only affect outsiders that come into the county to visit. I know myself I am doing a lot more purchasing within the county to save on gas and to help our local merchants.

I would hope for its passage. Right now our real estate taxes are the main way we pay for all our services here in the county. That means all our residents and landowners bear the burden. Once passed, tourists that eat in our restaurants start helping to support our county.

I do support the tax referendum. I know the county needs extra revenue generated. I don't want this to be a burden on the elderly or young families. Groceries and prescriptions or nonprescription drugs will not be taxed. Also, your utility bill will not be taxed.

To listen and consider all possibilities of a situation before making the right and final decision.

Listening to the people of the county and abiding by the majority as long as it is the best thing for the county.

Second is helping the county offices stay within budget.

I feel the county board member's duty is to oversee the county offices and to make rational and fiduciary decisions affecting county government because each decision you make affects the lives of the citizens of the county.

Safe roads, health services, police protection for the good of all our residents and visitors.

I would want to review the budget of each county department to determine where funds are needed and where we could reduce funding to ensure our county offices operate more proficiently before any programs are cut.

Researching and making reasonable choices for cuts within the budgets.

I would be willing to sit down with the person or persons responsible for the budgets in those offices and work with them to find out if their office needs a larger budget or if they need to make cuts to maintain their current budget.

I feel the passage of the safety-tax could help ease the burden of budget shortages.

No information submitted

When it first came out as a possibility I did like the idea of the county roads being widened for several reasons. If the proposal adds more financial burdens to the county and our communities then other avenues for the proposal need to be explored and submitted to the county's residents for review.

As an individual, I like the idea of a bicycle trail in the county as long as the state is paying for and maintaining it. If elected, I would have to abide by the majority of the people that I would represent. That being said, I would be against the proposal because the majority that I have spoken to want it defeated. I would like everyone to remember that defeating it will not keep the bicycle riders out of Calhoun.

I'm against the bicycle trails because the county does not have the funding for building or maintaining. Also, there is still no evidence the state is going to take over Highway 1 or to build or maintain the trail if they do. But I wouldn't oppose the state taking over Highway 1.

No information submitted

Over all I like the family and country feel of the County “Neighbor helping Neighbor”. There are issues that need to be addressed and issues that need to be considered. I think having members of our county government coming from 5 different backgrounds and experiences will help and improve the quality of the decisions made within the county.

I believe that the Calhoun County Commissioners and the local government have been doing an outstanding job with the limited funds available to them. I again would encourage all voters to help pass the sales tax increase to help with the county's budget.

Help take some of the burden away from the real estate taxes.

I think we are very fortunate to have the roads, schools, churches, finest restaurants and businesses in the area. I hear compliments from visitors and hunters from all over the United States that passes through. I feel we need to patronize our businesses who employ county people and pay taxes even if we do have to pay a little more. We need them and they need us.

This is definitely God's Country.

No information submitted

No information submitted

This county is strong, but we need to be more inventive in finding ways to save money and increase revenue, such as tax incentives for new home buyers and businesses. The State of Illinois has already cut 11 percent of our schools funding with more cuts to come.

Therefore the burden falls to our taxpayers to make up the difference. We can also be stronger if our county offices would work together.

are their responses:

Joe Kinder, Rep.

No information submitted

I am against the proposal as it now stands. The County simply doesn't have the money and I am unwilling to support eminent domain laws that would come into affect and take land from our citizens. I am very happy this issue was placed on the ballot so that everyone has a voice and a choice.

Programs that have to do with our children receiving the highest quality of education.

■ Blessings from Belleview I would like to take a moment to thank the mayor and the Village of Kampsville for the usage of the gym for Family Movie Night.

It was a great success and great fun. We hope to do it again in the spring. I would also like to thank Terry Hausmann for helping us with the “Connections” bonfire. Those who attended seemed to really enjoy themselves and for that we are grateful.

Tonight, as I tucked Mitchell into bed, I asked him if he wanted to pray. He immediately clasped his hands together and smiled. We prayed together as we lay in his bed. When I said amen, with his mouth open wide, he gave me the slobberiest, sloppiest kiss that I could ever imagine. It was the best kiss I could ever get. I cherish them more and more as they grow each day.

I then went into the girl’s bed and lay between them. Together we

prayed, much like we always do: for each other and our pets. As our prayer ended, Emma, the youngest of our twins, said “Daddy? Bob?” Bob was a turtle that we kept for a few weeks before letting it go to hibernate for the winter. “Yes, darling, God bless Bob”. Suddenly, they began mentioning names. Aunt Shirley. Aunt Iris. Audrey (a young girl in our church). Shelley. Names were rolling off their tongues. Yes, they need our prayers. People in our church. people I have never heard of. I held them close to me and thank God that in the heart of an innocent child, we could learn true genuine compassion and care.

As I left their room and bid them good night. a tear streamed down my cheek. A country song came to mind that someone shared with me.

The words of the chorus goes: You’re gonna miss this. You’re gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days, hadn’t gone by so

fast. These are some good times, So take a good look around, You may not know it now, But you’re gonna miss this.

Yes. I will. As I typed these words, I realized how blessed I am as a father and a husband. I am going to miss these days of a young daughter snuggling up into my arms while watching a Disney movie. I am going to miss the days when my young son wants no one else but daddy. I am going to miss the days while in church, my young children come into the sanctuary and shriek “daddy” excitedly and run to me and grasp my legs in a tight hug.

Yes, I will miss this. But for now, I have it and I will enjoy every bit of it. Enjoy what you have; it may be gone before you realize it.

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

(James 4:14)

Hardin, Illinois

Blue Man Group coming to Fox No one knows how to make a more inspired mess than Blue Man Group. Whether they’re beating on drums and generating a kaleidoscopic spray of airborne paint, or catching flying gumballs with their mouths and spewing the paint onto canvases, or feasting on Twinkies, or chomping out a Cap’n Crunch symphony, the bald-and-blue characters approach each messy, noisy enterprise with the expertise and determination of children. And the audience responds with unadulterated, uncomplicated, grin-inducing joy; with howls of laughter; with childlike wonder and delight. You might say that Blue Man Group is child’s play for adults.

At first glance, a mess – but looking closer, it’s far from one.

Don’t confuse child’s play with childishness.

“We have things that we think about, and they express themselves in these weird ways,” says Phil Stanton, co-founder of Blue Man Group with Matt Goldman and Chris Wink. “A lot of what we do is colorful, and kids enjoy it, and adults are entertained by it, whether they get the idea behind it or not.

We’re usually looking at things from the point of community or

relationships. We’re trying to say something about the power of a group. That’s why there are three Blue Men; three is the smallest number that makes up a group.”

At a Blue Man Group theatrical show there is, indeed, something on the bill to fascinate and entertain everyone. It’s vaudeville for the 21st century: instead of an array of comedians and singers and monologists and dog acts and jugglers sharing a bill, the Blue Men – abetted by a few musicians – offer an array of wildly imaginative flights of fancy, ranging from primitive to sophisticated, in a variety show quite unlike any other.

The Blue Man uses every facet of his being to engage the audience in situations and ideas and behavior and sights and sounds that intrigue him. And he does so without ever speaking.

“Talking is so limiting,” says Goldman. “We talked once, and it was painful. It was horrible. But we don’t think of the Blue Man as a mute. We think of him as someone whose chosen not to say anything.”

The show is not without words.

LED screens display a series of messages designed to make the

audience laugh and/or think. An authoritative, other-worldly voice wittily explains the intricacies of modern plumbing and choreography and technology. But more often than not, words are unnecessary.

When the Blue Men are playing their unique polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, pipes – instruments of their own making – or fiercely pounding on drums, words would just intrude on the giddiness being felt throughout the theater.

Performances of Blue Man Group run from Nov. 20 – Dec. 2 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

Performance times are Tuesday – Saturday evenings at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. and Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m. There is a matinee Thursday, Nov. 29 at 1 p.m. There is no performance on Thanksgiving. To purchase tickets, visit metrotix. com, call (314) 534-1111 or visit the Fox Box Office. Ticket prices start at $15. Prices are subject to change; please refer to fabulousfox. com for current pricing. Group discounts are available for groups of 15 or more by calling (314) 5352900. The Fabulous Fox Theatre is located in Grand Center at 527 N. Grand Blvd.

made the Calhoun County Quilt and Church Tour an annual pilgrimage for the last five years and many first-time visitors have come because of the recommendation of friends and colleagues. Although Quilt Tour organizers and vendors were disappointed, but philosophical, about this year’s attendance, tour attendees were enthusiastic.

One visitor was overheard to say that walking into the St. Matthew Lutheran Church where quilts were

The weather has played havoc with nearly everyone in Calhoun County this year and the Quilt Tour was no exception. Next year, the seventh annual Calhoun County Quilt and Church Tour will be Friday, Oct. 18 and Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013.

Roadside safety checks to be conducted Roadside safety checks will be conducted by the Illinois State Police during the remaining weeks of October, according to Captain Scott Compton, Commander, Illinois State Police, District 18 in Litchfield. Roadside safety checks are conducted to promote the safety of the motoring public and to provide a deter-

rent for those who might violate laws pertaining to the safe operation of motor vehicles. The safety checks are used to identify persons who operate a motor vehicle with defective equipment, without a valid driver’s license or are violating the alcohol or drug laws.

Does your child love to draw?

The Calhoun News-Herald is running a “Feature Drawing of the Week” series highlighting the artwork of elementary students. If you would like to have your child participate in this series, simply have them draw on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper a picture of life in Calhoun County.

(Pictures can be a wide variety of topics – the four seasons, weather, holidays, hunting, shing, family, pets and the county fair are some ideas.) Photos must be horizontal. One drawing will be chosen at random each week and printed on the “Our Town” page in the Calhoun News-Herald.

Children should label their drawings with their name and school on back in pencil.

Wine, dine, have a good time at festival

By ROBERT LYONS Campbell Publications Grafton’s Pere Marquette Lodge is gearing up for its annual wine festival, and organizers are anticipating another great year.

The wine festival is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 4 at the lodge, and will feature several varieties of the fermented beverage from around the world, according to Pere Marquette’s director of marketing and events, Leslie Franklin.

“We’re going to have themed tables,” Franklin said. “There will be basically four to five wines at each table for people to taste.

So, we’re going to have a lot of wine.”

She said there will be tables dedicated to sweet wines, moscatos, cabernets, dry whites, dry reds and Illinois wines from Carrollton’s Mary Michelle. For $10, participants will receive a Pere Marquette commemorative wine glass and samples of all the wines offered.

“There may be some they’re familiar with, but most wines should be pretty new to them,” Franklin said. “We generally get

a really g o o d turnout and people have a good time.”

T h e festival will also feature vendors with wine-related items, as well as the musical group Random Acts. Like their name implies, the band plays a variety of music types.

“They got rave reviews last year, so we’re bringing them back,” Franklin said. “Hopefully we’ll have some dancing and that kind thing going on, too.”

Franklin said the lodge’s restaurant will also be open during the festival.

The festival is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, contact Pere Marquette Lodge at (618) 7862331 ext.

The Brussels Girl Scouts will be hosting a dinner and program honoring the local veteran’s Saturday, Nov. 10, at St. Matthew Church Hall in Brussels.

This is being made possible by a grant the scouts received from the Illinois River Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and the wonderful support shown from scout families and the local community. This Brussels National Honor Society will be assisting the scouts with this special event for the local veterans.

The evening will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a flag ceremony and prayer followed by a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Following the dinner, a program honoring the veteran’s will be presented by the five levels of scouts and National Honor Society.

Please RSVP by Thursday, Nov. 1, with Debbie Kamp at 883-2162, Cyndi Kinder at 883-2664, or Nancy Robeen at 883-2249. All veterans in the area are invited and may bring one guest with them. In the past there has been some confusion on why some veterans receive an invitation in the mail. The scouts get a list of the legion members from the Brussels Post since all these people are veterans. We also use a list from the previous year to invite those that attended the year before. If you attended one of the dinners prior to 2011, please call to attend again.

All veterans are welcome to enjoy a meal, ceremony, and fellowship this special evening offers for those that serve or served our country. Give one of the ladies listed a call to RSVP or if you know of someone you’d like for the scouts to send an invitation to, please give them the person’s name and address.

Making healthcare decisions The typical healthcare patient has changed in recent years. No longer are individuals putting all of their healthcare decisions into the hands of nurses and doctors.

Patients are more informed than ever before and are interested in taking a more active role in their own care.

Thanks to the Internet, people are able to access information that, in the past, was not easily available. A few decades ago, medical data may have been elusive and filled with confusing jargon the layperson might not have understood without a crash course in biology. However, today there are different Web sites that clearly spell out information about certain illnesses and diseases. This means that patients may no longer be walking blindly into appointments with doctors.

Facing an illness is never easy, and the decision-making abilities could be hampered by emotions and the desire to improve as quickly as possible. Patients who do not have all of the facts may have

to rely solely on the expertise of caregivers and physicians when making important healthcare decisions. By knowing the avenues of information, a patient can find assistance with careful decisionmaking.

While learning about an ailment is important, there are some things to consider.

• The Internet isn't foolproof.

Many online medical sites are very reliable and offer a wealth of pertinent information. They can be good starting points when seeking out information on a particular condition. It is in your best interest to visit sites that are well-known and monitored by respected medical affiliations. Other sites may be peppered with exaggerated claims or misinformation. Therefore, do not go by online information alone.

• Don't self-diagnose. It can be easy to use the Internet as a means to narrowing down symptoms and making assumptions about what ailments you may have. Instead of using the Internet to self-diagnose your condition, leave the diagno-

sis up to your doctor and rely on online information after you are diagnosed. This can improve your understanding of the condition and any potential treatment options.

• Seek other avenues of information. You should never hesitate to seek a second opinion or go to a published medical journal to find out more about a condition. You have rights as a patient to be comfortable with the advice doctors give and be as involved in your treatment as you want to be.

• Online forums could be more harm than help. Many people turn to online forums and blogs to gain more insight into particular diseases. While these forums may be good sources of support, information published on these sites could be misleading, inaccurate or unsafe. Before trying any proposed treatment, it is best to consult with your doctor.

Having a general knowledge of a medical condition can enable healthcare consumers to make more informed decisions about their situations.

Boomers turning to online dating Individuals over the age of 50 are turning more frequently to Internet dating to find a new significant other.

After losing a loved one or completing a divorce, many baby boomers are considering getting back into the dating pool. Internet dating sites often provide a good number of candidates for busy people to consider. In busy times filled with work responsibilities and family obligations, logging on to the computer to find a date can be much easier than finding a date in a social setting.

Twenty-two percent of the registered members of Match.com are over the age of 50. There's a good chance that other popular dating sites also have a growing number of older participants as well. There are also dating sites geared to the over-50 crowd to make narrowing down prospects even easier.

Finding oneself in midlife and looking for a date or new mate is actually quite common. Thousands of people are in the same situation. In a September 2003 study of singles aged 55+, The American Association for Retired People discovered that 49 percent said of respondents cited, "Having someone to talk to or do things with" as the most important reason for dating.

Seniors dating can have a unique set of challenges in comparison to younger daters. These include:

• Habits or routines that have developed after months or years of living single.

• Added baggage from divorce.

• Older children who may not be keen to their parents dating again.

• Elderly parents who need care.

• Physical appearance woes, such as wrinkles and extra weight.

• Medical conditions that may be embarrassing or serious.

• Self-esteem issues from being out of the dating loop for so long.

Baby Boomers now represent more than a quarter of the population, and many are being spurred on by children to look into online dating.

“Our goal this year is to have 160 boxes for donations throughout the area at different organizations where anyone can drop off items throughout the day,” said Dawna Gilbreath, coordinator of Community Christmas. “Last year, we had around 100, but this is such a generous and compassionate community to help those that are less fortunate that I think we can reach this goal.”

Community Christmas begins Monday, Nov. 5, when boxes will be delivered to participating businesses and will remain there until Dec. 13.

Donations to be placed in the boxes include nonperishable food items, new clothes for all ages, new winter weather necessities like gloves, hats and scarves, blankets, baby care items, hygiene items and of course new toys. Cash donations are also accepted and should be sent to United Way at 263 South Sixth Street, Wood River, IL 62095 and marked as Attn: Community Christmas.

Right now, United Way is working hard getting these boxes confirmed for placement throughout the community. “Currently we have over 50 organizations already committed to having donation boxes in their facilities,” Gilbreath said. “This is a great start, but there are a lot more opportunities to help.”

All it takes to be a donation drop-off location is to have a box, or two and even three, located in

Hardin, Illinois

the main entrance or another easily accessible area where anyone can drop off items during business hours. The boxes are provided courtesy of Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery and are of no cost to host organizations.

Gilbreath is confident that the donations and participation will exceed last year’s numbers. “This is a community that is filled with people who genuinely care about the needs of others,” she said.

Last year, Community Christmas brought in more than 50 volunteers, 100 boxes, and received roughly 20,000 items donated.

Donations received will go to support 14 local agencies to help those in need of these items during the holiday season. Many of these organizations greatly depend on the donations from United Way’s Community Christmas to help those in the area have a great holiday.

Besides needing business to host donation boxes, volunteers for a variety of activities are also essential to the success of United Way’s Community Christmas. “We have several ways for volunteers of all ages to get involved, and it’s going to be a really fun and rewarding experience for all who participate,” Gilbreath said.

Volunteer opportunities include prepping the boxes with festive signs and labels, delivering boxes to host sites, picking up donation-filled boxes once Community Christmas comes to a close, and sorting and loading the thousands of items donated for pickup by the agencies.

For those interested in hosting a box, volunteering or for more information, call United Way’s Southwest Illinois Division at (618) 251-0072.
