HARDIN, ILLINOIS 62047

NOVEMBER 6, 2013

Village aids county recycling initiative By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin Village Board agreed to work with the Calhoun Recycling Initiative to create a weekend recycling program for residents in Hardin by offering space for a Dumpster in the village. During its regular meeting Nov. 4, Patricia Stelbrink, Calhoun Recycling Initiative (CRI) representative, presented the board with an idea to offer recycling behind the car wash in Hardin on Saturdays. She said she has enough volunteers available to watch the site while it is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and ensure the items put into the Dumpster are acceptable recyclable material. “With the recycling being removed from Fieldon, a lot of people are putting recyclables in their trash stream. Calhoun is pretty natural and we want

All

to keep it that way, but we’re polluting a lot,” Stelbrink said. She said Robert Sanders Waste Management Systems will pick up the Dumpster at a cost of $375 per dump, which she expects would only be needed once every two months. She said she is not looking for the village to absorb the cost of the recycling program. Instead, she said she is seeking a board member signature for grant opportunities and for board approval to allow the initiative to place a Dumpster behind the car wash, where it would be protected by a fence. She said CRI would place plywood and a tarp over the area when it is not in use to prevent dumping of non-recyclable products in the bin. Stelbrink said some companies which employ county residents may be willing to offer some money to pay for the program, which she said aims

to keep Calhoun a beautiful county. “Illinois Rural Electric, Chic -FilA, the company that I work for, is also into sustainability. [We’re going to contact] those companies to see if they will donate our first year because we want this to be open to Brussels, Batchtown, everybody. We want all of Calhoun to be recycling,” Stelbrink said, adding the estimated yearly cost for the program is around $2,500. The Dumpster would be a singlestream container which accepts paper, plastic, glass and aluminum cans, among other items. Styrofoam is not accepted, however. Stelbrink said some local businesses may also benefit from the program by reducing their trash volume to save on their waste bill. If that were the case, Stelbrink said they may be willing to put some money to the (See, VILLAGE BOARD, A2)

Hardin talks changes to water rates By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin Village Board of Trustees discussed Nov. 4 how it would address financial troubles in the water fund where revenue is struggling to keep the account in the black. Tony Friedel, board member, said the board needs to look at the numbers to develop a new cost for the bills, noting an increase will be necessary to sustain the water fund in the future. “The amount of work and clean-up we’ve been doing over on this water plant, we’ve got to start getting some money back,” Friedel said. Dwight Moore, water supervisor for the village, said Illinois Rural Water often completes surveys to determine water rates for a community, and does the work

for free. The board agreed to have Moore contact the company about a survey so it could find the fairest rate for those in the village. Friedel said he would like the board to resolve the issue by the end of the year so water bills in 2014 could be updated with newer rates. “We’ve been dancing with this stuff for a long time,” Matt Haug, board member, said. Mayor Phil Gress said he’d like to analyze the finances to find a reasonable rate, rather than “jerk a figure out of the sky.” Water bills are $25 per month or $50 every two months, and it is unclear how much they would be after a potential increase. The board will address the issue at its next regular meeting.

Chris Schultz works a backhoe in Inmanville in Hardin Monday afternoon as part of the water main replacement. Residents in the area have been using a one-inch water main for many years, and as a result water pressure has suffered. Some have complained about receiving no water if their neighbor is using the line, but the new 4-inch main aims to alleviate all those issues. Public works director Jerry Rose said the line should be ready by next week, pending a water sample survey. Residents are responsible for hooking themselves up to the water main when it is ready.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Local municipalities in Illinois are benefiting from additional money each month generated from video gaming machines located in establishments where liquor is also sold. Though some municipalities did not need to do anything to address the Illinois Video Gaming Act, the village of Hardin did have to amend a previous city ordinance forbidding the use of the machines. The board approved the amendment June 4, 2012, and since the machines’ installations, the village has earned around $450 each month. Based on monthly reports available on the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) website, Hardin earned around $550 in September from seven machines. According to those same figures, the net terminal income for the village was around $11,000. That number is taxed by 30 percent and split between the state and municipalities with the state receiving an 83 percent share with the municipality share being the remaining 17 percent. September figures indicate the state’s share was $2,700 while the village received a little less than $550. The village of Hardin is not the only public entity benefiting from dollars generated by the gambling machines in bars as Calhoun County, Brussels and Batchtown also receive funds from the machines. Using the figures from the IGB, only one establishment is registered for Calhoun County. Boothy’s Palace Tavern generates around $14,400 in net terminal income from roughly the same amount in net wagers at its five terminals. That money translates to $719 in municipal share in

September while the state raked in $3,600. Calhoun County Treasurer Lisa Roth said the revenue from the machines has grown for the county since August when the first check was around $30. The most recent one for October was a little more than $950, she said. “If we’re getting $1,000 that’s $12,000 a year. That can make a difference,” Roth said. “It’s really going to take a few months to see how consistent those amounts are.” In Brussels, A J’s Bar and Grill is the lone contributor with three machines. Only about $70 was distributed to the village, according to September figures posted to the IGB website. The state received around $1,450 from the Brussels’ machines. The nine machines in Batchtown generated approximately $9,700, according to the September reports. Of that money, $2,400 was issued to the state with the remaining $480 going to the village. According to the Illinois Video Gaming Act, machines installed at establishments where liquor is sold are subject to inspections by an independent testing facility. They must be able to report a full record of play history including outcomes, bets placed, intermediate play steps, credits available and credits cashed out. The machines must “pay out a mathematically demonstrable percentage during the expected lifetime of the machine of all amounts paid.” That percentage cannot be less than 80 percent. Money generated through the gambling terminals can be earmarked for specific usages, but the county and villages have not declared such an earmark for the money.

Loss of funding decreases A healthy helping of fruits and veggies n Community Helpings Co-op brings fresh produce to Calhoun at low cost SNAP benefits locally By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Participants of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive less money each month due to an expiring federal act which had boosted the money offered by the program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the stimulus which was enacted by U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009, expired at the end of October, causing a decrease in benefits for participants of SNAP, which is the state’s food stamp program, formerly known as LINK. Januari Smith, spokesperson for Illinois Department of Human Services, said it is unlikely a similar financial boost to the program will occur based on the current congressional climate in Washington. “They’re talking about even cutting even further, so I would doubt we would get this increase back,” Smith said. Funding for the program is set at a federal level, Smith said, and states are tasked with administering SNAP in their areas. The spokeswoman said the state is not responsible for the reduction in benefits which can range from $11 per month for a household of one to $81 per month for a household of 10 people. Though the reduction may look small on paper, Smith said the program is designed to issue, on average, $5 each day per household member for food, meaning the $11 lost by an individual could be two days worth of supplemental

income for food. Though the program is meant to offer supplemental funds for food purchases, Smith said many families rely strongly on the service. “It will definitely impact those families that depend on this program,” Smith said, noting how much a family receives is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, income and family size. “Obviously, this is a supplement, as well, but [for] a lot of families, this is all they have.” According to information provided on the Department of Human Services website, the Jersey County office has around 6,300 people using the food stamp service on a regular basis in approximately 2,900 households. Of that total, around 1,100 people receive no public assistance other than SNAP. The Jersey office serves the counties of Calhoun, Greene and Jersey. From the same information source, the Adams County office says 13,500 people receive SNAP benefits. Those people are in around 6,500 households, and 2,400 receive only SNAP benefits and no other public assistance. The Adams office serves the counties of Adams, Pike and Scott. In 2010, there were approximately 4,000 households which received the benefits for approximately 8,500 people, according to the Adams County numbers, and around 2,200 people used the service in 2010 in around 950 households, according to the Jersey County figures.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Combating lengthy drives for fresh produce, a community member took it upon herself to institute a produce co-op in Hardin where people from the riverside county can purchase baskets of fruit and vegetables at a low cost. Jen Shirley, organizer of the Hardin Community Helpings Co-op, said she had been using the co-op in Jerseyville to purchase produce, which is fresher than offerings at local supermarkets. She said the commute became a hassle and she gathered community members to start a co-op in Hardin. “It was just too far to travel, so I thought, ‘Why don’t I start one here,’” Shirley said, noting the co-op must have at least 25 baskets purchased to receive the delivery. “I wanted to make sure the people here were able to get it.” Massive heads of cabbage, numerous oranges, a bunch of bananas and other fruits and vegetables filled each basket which costs around $25 and are delivered every two weeks to the American Legion post in Hardin. Shirley said the co-op has been successful since its start up in June, and with consistent access to fresh fruits and vegetables, she said her eating and cooking habits have taken a healthier turn. Her children eat a lot of fruits now, which opened the option for those ordering to request a basket of only fruits or vegetables at a reduced price. C

Waylon Fanning, right, hands a bunch of bananas to Tammy Franke, left, while volunteers for the Community Helpings Coop pre-package the baskets purchased by community members. For around $25, a buyer receives a basket loaded with fruits and vegetables. The produce comes every two weeks and can be ordered through the Community Helpings Coop website.

And she said Community Helpings, a volunteer organization, allows people to purchase additional items like cereals and other dried goods. “The produce is a lot fresher than what you get in a store. This comes right from the distributor that supplies the grocery store, so it’s like we’re cutting out the middle man,” Shirley said, as volunteers pre-packaged the baskets of food for those picking up Friday. Word has been spreading around about the co-op, too, as the most recent basket total reached 55. She

said the program tapered off in the summer when many people were cultivating their gardens and did not need the produce from the co-op. It was so popular at one point that people from Belleview who were taking advantage of the co-op started their own in the northern part of Calhoun so they wouldn’t have to travel as far for the produce. The popularity has even spread to Facebook where many who purchased the baskets first heard about Community Helpings Co-op. (See, CO-OP, A2)

Chicago schools receive more money than rest of state By SCOTT REEDER & JACKSON ADAMS Illinois News Network Chicago-area public schools are collecting a disproportionate amount of state educational aid at the expense of students studying in downstate schools. That conclusion was reached during October in two separate and independent investigations conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Policy Institute. “People should be concerned because it is an issue of fairness and equity,” said state Sen. Pam Altoff, R-McHenry. “What this is telling me is that children with developmental disabilities and special needs in Chicago are receiving more money than my students in suburban Chicagoland or downstate Illinois.” Back in 1995, Illinois lawmakers passed legislation that guaranteed Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, a certain percentage of state funds from block grants funding programs such as special education. In 1995, the percentage was based on the proportion of Illinois students attending CPS. However, CPS enrollment has dropped during the last 18 years, while the proportion of funding it receives has remained at the 1995 level, according to Mary Fergus, a spokeswoman for the Illinois State Board of Education. Consequently, Chicago students are getting more state funding per pupil than their counterparts elsewhere in the state. According to the Illinois Policy Institute’s report, Chicago received $811 per pupil in property tax subsidies while downstate districts received an average of $25 per student. In the area of poverty grant funds, Chicago received $2,513 per impoverished student – downstate only $1,343. For some, this is nonsensical. “What are they trying to say— kids from Chicago with disabilities from Chicago need more than those from the suburbs or downstate? This is not about poverty or socioeconomic conditions. This is about an individual disability,” Altoff said. The funding gap can be seen in overall school district spending per student. According to the Illinois State Board of Education’s report, school districts outside of Chicago spent an average of $7,541 per pupil in 2012 while Chicago spent $10,410.

Altoff said most lawmakers are unaware of the disparity in funding between Chicago schools and the rest of the state. “Most legislators are focused on general state aid to schools and local property taxes,” she said. “Few people are getting down into the weeds and looking at the whole picture – including block grants.” One of the few people who has studied the issue is state Sen. David Luechtefeld, R-Okawville. “Right now, it looks like schools are going to face some cuts, so it’s important that we take a close look at this issue and see who may be getting more than their fair share ,” he said. “After we have looked at these numbers we may come up some recommendations. It important that students all across the state receive adequate funding.” State Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, said he is not particularly bothered that more money is spent per student in Chicago than elsewhere in the state because Chicagoans pay much of the state’s taxes. “We want to shift the way we fund education, and that should be based solely off the income tax distribution in the state,” he said. “Right now it’s inherently unfair.” Dunkin said school districts outside of Chicago are getting too much money. Others see an underlying problem in the way public schools are funded. “School funding should be changed totally,” said Dave McDermott, CFO of Moline School District. “In Illinois it matters where you live for the quality of your education. The General Assembly has known this for 50 years and doesn’t do anything about it.” State Rep. Joe Sosnowski, R-Rockford, said a solution to this problem is to have the money follow the student rather than be allocated directly to school districts. He said there is no need for special “block grants” that pit various parts of the state against one another for limited funds. Instead of having government allocate funds to school districts, it should be given in the form of vouchers to parents for them to decide on what school can best serve their children’s needs, he said. “Parents should be able to choose where their students attend. And this could create some healthy competition between public school and perhaps private schools for students,” Sosnowski said.

Godfrey lawyer qualifies for Boston Marathon, plans cancer research fundraiser

Tim Campbell, a lawyer who lives and practices law in Godfrey and grew up in Hardin, recently qualified to run in the historic 26.2 mile Boston Marathon. He qualified on Sunday, Oct. 13 by running in the 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon and posting a time of 4 hours and 9 minutes. His daughter, Christin Kaltenbronn, formerly of Godfrey and now a resident of Prospect Heights, also participated in the Chicago event. Although all qualifying slots have previously been filled for the April 2014 Boston event, he hopes to join one of the charities that holds additional positions. If not, he qualifies and plans to run in 2015. Campbell intends to raise funds for cancer research in memory of his late wife, Linda, and son, Bryan, who both died of cancer. “A number of local and Colorado health care professionals helped me stay on track despite injuries. The medical staff included local physicians Drs. John Hoelscher, Randall Rogalsky, Thomas Kaltenbronn, and Larry Huels; local physical therapist, Mike Hentrich; and Colorado physical therapists, Barbara Thomas and Kristin Schwarck,” Campbell said. Running coach, Janet Leet, of Arlington Heights, helped with running technique and exercise. Christin Kaltenbronn helped coordinate the conditioning program as well as pacing during the last part of the Chicago marathon. Friends and family watching and cheering their runners included

Stelbrink said she spoke with some county board members about taking the brunt of the costs this year, but members were concerned about reappropriating the budget after its recent approval. Additionally, Public Works Director Jerry Rose said a water main installation in Hardin is going along quickly and should be ready for use next week. He said a water sample must be taken before it can be used by residents in the area, and residents must connect themselves to the main line to make use of it. With the county’s recent mowing tractor purchases, its older ones are available for purchase. The county

approved to buy three new tractors for a total of $230,000 during a regular meeting Oct. 21, and did not trade in its older tractors to offset some of the cost. During that meeting, county engineer Barry Webster said he would like to sell the tractors to local townships or other municipalities. Rose said the tractor used by the village is around 30 years old, and though it still works nicely, having a new one may be beneficial.

Teaching kids to be green

Corn carting

Robert Lyons/Campbell Publications

Jim Manns pulls a grain cart full of corn to a waiting tractor trailer Monday morning in Jerseyville. Though some farmers have already taken soybeans from the fields, many fields still have corn waiting to be combined.

The children of today are the decision-makers of the future. Therefore, it's imperative that youngsters learn about the planet and how to protect it. Teaching children about the ways they can protect the planet or make simple changes to decrease their carbon footprints now may pave the way for more informed adults later, and children can discover the benefits of giving back rather than taking more. * Bike, walk or carpool. Kids are in transit just as much as their adult counterparts, and how they get from point A to point Bcan help or hurt the environment. From home to school, from school to an extracurricular activity, from an extracurricular activity back to home, transportation is a large part of the day. Automobiles consume large amounts of fossil fuels and also release harmful contaminants into the air via their exhaust systems. Walking or biking to school gives children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and exercise while reducing their reliance on fuels. If school is too far away, involve kids in the set-up of a carpool with friends and discuss the benefits of riding together. * Take a trip. Children are visual creatures and often learn the best lessons by seeing what something is all about. A day trip to a working farm or a recycling center can teach important lessons about sustainability and conserva-

tion. * Shop secondhand. Children and toys go hand-in-hand. However, what was once the latest and greatest toy can quickly become overshadowed by something new tomorrow. Explain the benefits of getting gently used toys, clothing and books instead of purchasing them new. Doing so reduces the reliance on the production of new things, cuts down on shipping and also saves money. Encourage kids to set up a toy swap where they pass on toys they no longer find interesting to others who can enjoy them. * Lead by example. When installing new LED bulbs or switching out an appliance for an Energy Star-rated model, explain to children why this is being done. Children learn quickly and can grasp abstract ideas more easily than adults may think. They soon may catch on and make their own green changes, such as turning off lights when not in rooms, unplugging game chargers when not in use or using less water while brushing teeth before bed. * Cook together. Instead of purchasing fast food and processed, packaged foods or traveling to a restaurant, make a meal at home that everyone can enjoy. Not only will this enable the family to talk about important local and global issues, it saves energy and reduces the family's carbon footprint as well.

Signing for harvest safety

Carrollton FFA members went to the Farm Bureau on Monday, Oct. 21 to put up a safety sign for the harvest season. Members who helped were left to right: Wade Prough, Christian Curtner, Randy Rabe, Keaton Devening, Lucas Gardner, Dylan Clifford, Travis Smith, Brayden Rhoads, Jacob Durham, Tommy Phillips, and Logan Gardner.

Though farming was once big business in the United States, by 2012 less than 1 percent of Americans were professional farmers. Many challenges face today's farmers, many of which are largely unknown to the general public. Many people have an outdated view of a farm as a small, family-owned and operated parcel of land where livestock is raised in open pens and crops are hand-harvested when ripe. The reality is that modern-day farms have had to overhaul operations to meet demand and remain competitively priced while adapting to the ever-changing ways technology infiltrates all parts of life. Each of these factors present obstacles for today's farmers. Technology Rural farming communities are expected to make an effort to integrate modern technology into an industry that has been around for centuries. But such a transition in rural areas, where communications systems may not be as up-to-date as those in urban areas, is not always so easy. According to the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, a shift from a resource-based to an information-

based economy, compounded by the rapid introduction and expansion of new technology in the workplace, has altered farm operation and the skills in demand. Older workers who have been schooled in one way of agriculture may have a significant impact on labor supply and the vitality of farming as a career. Younger adults who are knowledgeable in technology may no longer seek out agricultural careers. Decrease in farming as an occupation The United States Environmental Protection Agency says that only about 960,000 Americans claim farming as their principal occupation. As that figure has dwindled, the average age of farmers continues to rise, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roughly 40 percent of the farmers in this country are 55 years old or older. This has led to concerns about the long-term health of family farms throughout the United States. Environmental concerns Many farmers have come under scrutiny for how farming impacts the environment. A growing emphasis on sustainability and conservation has led many people to protest certain farming practices. Protesters claim that certain practices, such as raising livestock, can pollute water, while the use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides badPM 0585.cc.28.ad_Layout 1 11/5/13 is 3:08 for the environment. Many farmers,

however, have altered their methods to be more environmentally friendly and self-sustainable in the process. Financial fall-out The ongoing recession of the last half-decade has also affected farmers. In November of 2012, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the unemployment rate within the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries was at 13.6 percent, far higher than the national unemployment rate. As a result, many farm families have found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, as rising costs for equipment and technology are being coupled with decreasing profits and rising unemployment. Further complicating matters is competition from corporations and international food producers who have made it difficult for family farmers to turn a significant profit. Many family farmers rely on loans and lines of credit to survive, but thanks to changes in the financial sector that saw banks become less willing to extend lines of credit, some farmers are facing bankruptcy. Though it can be easy for those who do not work in the agricultural industry to overlook the struggles facing today's agricultural professionals, a greater understanding of those struggles and the challenges that lay ahead can benefit the Page 1 industry and its employees down the road.

Brussels students enjoy Hispanic Fest 2013 Brussels High School Spanish Club had a great time visiting Hispanic Fest 2013 in downtown St. Louis this fall. Students learned how to do a Mexican Hat Dance,

taste and see how traditional food is made, look at traditional crafts, watch authentic Mexican Dancers, break a piñata, and had a wonderful day!

There’s an easier way to get the word out on your business. Submitted photo

On Tuesday, Oct. 22, the third and fourth grade students from St. Mary School along with their teacher, Mrs. Maureen Tepen, and several of their family members, traveled to Springfield to attend the annual Mission Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki along with several other priests from the diocese. St. Mary School has honored to accept the third place award in recognition for donations given to the Missionary Childhood Association (MCA, formerly known as Holy Childhood Association.) They received a crucifix and a certificate for their compassionate work. After the Mass they were able to meet and visit with Bishop Paprocki. Those pictured are Eric Robeen, Isabella Friedel, Paige Snyders, Bishop Poprocki, Zakary Grimes, Jerica LaMarsh, Hope Odelehr, Josie Friedel, Emma Vogel, Payson Camerer, Macy Jacobs, Jacob LaMarsh, Alyssa Bonner, Brody Caselton, Colin Glennon, Mrs. Maureen Tepen, Hope Smith, Shane Macauley, and Emma Hagen.

Christmas in

Greene County

Christmas in Carrollton this weekend By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the Christmas in Carrollton kickoff will be held this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-9 with events taking place all over town. The Chamber held its first Christmas in Carrollton in 2003 and it was such a success it has become a tradition during the second weekend in November. Carrollton Chamber of Commerce Vice-President Bernie Faul said it is the Chamber’s way of encouraging people to shop their local merchants this holiday season. “The whole idea behind Christmas in Carrollton is to get people to come to Carrollton to do their Christmas shopping early which brings revenue into the city’s merchants, ” Faul said. “Our merchants have all kinds of stuff to offer as holiday gifts, and this

Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, is ramping up as Jerseyville residents prepare to collect 500 gift-filled shoeboxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 18 – 25. First Assembly of God, 500 Cross Avenue in Jerseyville is the local collection site in the Jerseyville area, anyone can drop off a gift-filled shoebox to send to a child overseas. using whatever means necessary—trucks, trains, boats, bikes and even elephants—the shoebox gifts will be delivered to children worldwide. For many children, the shoebox gift will be the first gift they have ever received. Operating hours are: Monday, Nov. 18: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21 : 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22 : 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23 : 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24 : 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Though the shoebox gifts will often travel thousands of miles, Operation Christmas Child offers a way for participants to follow their box, by using the donation form found at samaritanspurse.org. Donors will receive an email telling the country where their shoeboxes are delivered. Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 100 million shoebox gifts to suffering children in more than 100 countries since 1993. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect another 9.8 million gift-filled shoeboxes in 2013. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call (800) 567-8580 or visit samaritanspurse.org.

Participants can also build a box through an online tool offering a personalized and convenient way to send a gift to a child in one of the hardest-to-reach countries.

"Oh, by gosh, by golly it's time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow." As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatra and Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery and tradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreen boughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet of mistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While these elements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religious components of Christmas, they have very different origins. Holly Holly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. The ancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held a place of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecution during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate in the tradition of hanging evilrepelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses. Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a pagan one and more associated with

gives them an opportunity to preview those items before anyone else.” It is also the first opportunity for the kids to visit Santa and his reindeer this season. Santa in his sleigh along with a real reindeer will be set up in front of Dream Day Decorating on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Chamber will be giving away six sets of $50 Chamber Bucks which can be used at participating businesses. Upon making their first stop at a local merchant, one will receive a punch card. Take this card and visit all the participating merchants and get the card punched at each one. At the last stop, one can put the card in a box and be entered to win the $50 in Chamber Bucks. This drawing will be held at the Christmas Parade Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. Merchants participating this year include Pharmacy Plus, Buck’s Crossing, 108 Resale Shop, Nims Jewelry, Mainstreet Tire, Flower

Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferred that holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion, with the red berries representing blood. Mistletoe Mistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavy infestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-Christian Europe, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thus romance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace, and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until the next day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, and why a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peace and affection. Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holiday season should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe and holly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leaves could be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoe is commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly should be hung high as well. Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe were once part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

Mill and Dream Day Decorating, Christmas Market at the First Baptist Church on Fifth Street and Boyd Hospital Holiday Bazaar. Participating stores will hold indoor sales and many will have refreshments. The Chamber will be giving away free popcorn and soda on Saturday from 11 a.m. until it is all gone. To get in the festive spirit, businesses around town are taking one of the 22 flower barrels located around the square and decorating them with a holiday theme. “I started the barrel decorating three years ago and each year I try to give different businesses the opportunity to participate, “Faul said. “Some of them really enjoy it and they want their barrel year after year. New to the decorating this year is the Wagon Wheel and Twisted Taco. We also have the Sons of the American Legion of Eldred and a Relay for Life team sponsoring a barrel.”

How to Avoid post-holiday shopping crowds Come December 26th, many people are tired of shopping. Yet, there are deals to be had on everything from clothing to electronics on the day after Christmas, when savvy shoppers can take advantage of slashed prices to stock up on a few more things. But for millions of people the day after Christmas is about more than just returning gifts or finding great deals. For the people who live in countries that are or were British commonwealth nations, Boxing Day is a cause for celebration, and it just so happens to fall on December 26th. Boxing Day was traditionally a day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their employers and superiors. However, it is now primarily known as a shopping holiday similar to Black Friday. On Boxing Day, shoppers take advantage of deep discounts and dramatic sales, and many retailers open their stores very early. Shoppers arrive in droves to shop the sales, and such crowds can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to make Boxing Day shopping less taxing this year. * Shop when stores tend to be less busy. Ask store managers and/ or employees when business tends to be at its slowest. Even though shopping on a holiday might still be busy, there may be a slow hour or two when you can avoid crowds. Shopping those times,

whether early in the morning or late at night, can make the day less stressful. * Shop online. There are never crowds online, which allows you to browse from the comforts of home. One disadvantage to online shopping is that you sometimes cannot get an accurate idea of the size of a garment or the feel of the material. However, when shopping for toys, electronics or home products, you may not need to touch and feel the items. * Create a list and stick to it. Before shopping, create a list of what you want to buy and avoid straying from that list once your shopping trip begins. You will spend considerably less time wandering aimlessly in a store if you make a list before shopping. * Wait another day or two. Crowds will not be as big if you wait a few days after Boxing Day to find deals. If you can postpone your trip to the store, you may still benefit from sales. Waiting even longer may enable you to buy seasonal items on clearance as stores make room for spring merchandise. * Shop all year long. Veteran shoppers tend to purchase items when they are most affordable, even if that means getting some holiday shopping done in the summer. Spreading purchases out over the entire year allows shoppers to manage their budgets and avoid hefty bills come January. Shopping for gifts throughout the year also frees up time during the holiday season, when time spent at the mall or shopping online can be better spent celebrating with family and friends.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS

Calhoun wins third-straight regional title

Mike Weaver/Calhoun News-Herald

The Lady Warriors beat Carrollton 25-20, 25-17 for their third regional championship in as many seasons. Gerson put down five kills against the Lady Hawks, while Baalman tallied 17 assists, nine service points and five digs before exiting the match with a knee injury. (Right) Calhoun's Grace Baalman puts down one of her nine kills against Carrollton Thursday in Hardin. The Lady Warriors freshman added a team-high-tying six digs.

SAM ELLIOTT Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun High School volleyball team won its third regional championship in as many seasons — the longest streak of such titles in program history — after beating Carrollton 25-20, 25-17 Thursday at the Hardin Class 1A Regional. The Lady Warriors (28-3-1) fell behind early in the opening game, trailing by as many as six points at 11-5, but an 8-2 run that included three kills by Grace Baalman drew Calhoun even and forced a Carrollton timeout. "They just like to make it a little more challenging than it needs to be," Lady Warriors head coach Ann Gilman said. "We just needed to get into our groove and once they did, we started making our way back." Calhoun pulled ahead at 14-13 thanks to Baalman for its first lead since the score was 2-1. The Lady Hawks led again briefly at 16-15, but Emma Baalman and Grace Baalman combined to score seven of the next 10 Lady Warriors points as they closed out the game. Emma Baalman finished with a match-high 10 kills and Grace Baalman added nine with six digs. Calhoun never trailed in the second game, but was dealt a tough blow when senior setter Maddie Baalman went down in pain with a left knee injury. "She had one knee injury already, but this was the other knee," Gilman said. "I would venture to say that she injured the good knee compensating for the bad one." Before exiting, Maddie Baalman finished with 17 assists, nine service points and five digs. "She sends every pass up to the net to where we can get a good approach for a kill on it," Gilman said. "That’s so valuable when you have a setter who can take anything and put it up to the net for one of our big hitters to get a kill." She was replaced with sophomore Sydney White, a lateseason addition to the varsity roster who finished with five assists and two service points as the Lady Warriors closed out the match without one of its senior leaders. "That just showed how great the group of girls I have is. They maintained their composure and took care of business," Gilman
