Agriculture Education Foundation nears first official meeting date By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Agriculture Education Foundation is preparing for its first meeting at which it will decide its bylaws and policies. The foundation was created after Tim Carmody, FFA alumni affiliate, learned such organizations can be a powerful tool towards generating revenue for agriculture education. During a meeting May 30, 2013, Carmody approached the school board with the idea for the organization which would work with agriculture corporations to seek donations

for agriculture education at the high school. Big name corporations would donate services, equipment or money to the foundation, which would then relay those services to the school. By giving the items to the foundation, the corporations can receive tax breaks for the donations. The companies could also benefit from the positive public relations of offering equipment or money to a school, which would otherwise have some difficulty funding an agriculture program. Terry Strauch, former Calhoun Community Unit School District 40

superintendent, has also been involved in the formation of the foundation aimed at improving the agriculture classes at the high school by providing high-end equipment for students to use as learning tools. “We had a little meeting with the group just before Christmas,” Strauch said, “and we really haven’t pursued much further on [finding members]. We’ve been rounding up some names and thinking about what we want to do.” Depending on how much money the organization can raise, students could also benefit from scholarships through the agriculture education foundation,

in addition to the improved land labs. Students at Calhoun High School travel to other locations to learn how some of the high-tech equipment is used, and if corporations donate through the foundation, those resources could be used locally. The high school classes could also be guinea pigs for newer equipment. Strauch said he believes the organization will have a strong impact on the students at Calhoun High School. “I think we’d be one of the few that has this,” Strauch said. Though the organization received its 501c3 nonprofit status, Strauch said he and Carmody had been seek-

ing members to conduct the organization’s business. Strauch said the board is currently comprised of three people, and expects to hold a meeting in the near future. No date has been set. He said the group has a few different 501c3 bylaw examples they’ll play with to fit the organization’s needs. “There’s no need to invent the wheel,” Strauch said. “We just have to decide upon a set that would be applicable to us.” The district does not fund the foundation, and being one of the first of its kind, Carmody said the district could reap great rewards from the nonprofit.

Missouri high school class CEC holds auditions visits Stone Bridge Valley for musical Sunday BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald An out-of-state high school art class visited Stone Bridge Valley Art Center in Michael last week where the students were able to play with art equipment in the Calhoun studio. Linda Basden, owner and operator of the art center, said many of the students had never used equipment like a kiln or pottery wheel before visiting the center. “I just want to be a resource for people,” Basden said. “I don’t care how far they come, but it’s just fun to see their excitement, when they can see something like this they don’t normally get a chance to do.” She said the pride shown by the students after they had created something and the enjoyment they felt throughout the process validated her artistic service. She said she offers the service to people interested in art, as well as students like those who visited last week. Amanda DePriest, art teacher at Louisiana High School in Louisiana, Mo., who brought her class to the Michael art center, said Stone Bridge Valley gave her an alternative to taking students into St. Louis where they could play with different art media. Stone Bridge Valley has equipment for all different types of art from kilns to glass working and bead-making machines. Students were given free rein to learn how the machines worked, while Basden moved around the

by BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Entertainment Company will host auditions for its annual musical Sunday, Jan. 19 at the Presbyterian Church Hall in Hardin. Jerry Sievers, Calhoun Entertainment Company director, said the auditions are open to all who have an interest in performing for the show, which will debut in April. “That’s open to everybody,” Sievers said, noting backstage workers are also needed. “We’re always looking for help there.” Initially, Sievers said CEC planned to perform “Grease” this year, but the company ran into snags when acquiring the rights. The director said there were some issues with the contract which would give CEC the rights to the music and script to perform the show. “They never would send us a contract to give us the rights to do ‘Grease,’” Sievers said. “They were really strict about doing things so we were unable to do that.” Because of the problems, he said the company switched to a different show, and will be performing “Once Upon A Mattress.” The musical comedy with music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics from Marshall Barer is set in a fictional medieval kingdom. The queen of the kingdom enacts a law that none in the

land may wed until the prince has shared his wedding bed. When the leading knight of the realm realizes his girlfriend is pregnant, he goes on a quest to find a princess for the prince because if the prince does not marry, he also may not marry. Sievers said the comedy will be entertaining for those watching, as well as those performing, noting the CEC will also need people to create sets and orchestrate scene changes backstage. Rick Ringhausen said those uninterested in performing but would like to participate in the annual show can contact him about work backstage. “Anybody who is interested in designing sets, building them or painting them, they could either come to the audition date and I would likely be there to talk to them, too, or they can contact me right here at the office,” Ringhausen said. “Anybody that’s got an interest in art, we’re always glad to have.” Ringhausen will be available at the auditions for those who want to know more about the backstage opportunities for the show. He said people who are unable to make it to the audition can also reach him at his office by calling (618) 576-9013. Auditions for the show start at 6 p.m. Jan. 19 at the Presbyterian Church Hall in Hardin. The show will debut during the first weekend of April.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Commissioners owners representative Bernie Loft will meet with the courthouse project architect Wednesday to discuss the future of the project. Loft and the architect, Tim Smith, president of Evan Lloyd Associates in Springfield, will work together to find which parts of the project can be done by local contractors to keep the work in the county without increased cost from

a more pricey contractor. The county received a $1 million donation to begin the project last July from Delford Richter. The agreement signed between Richter and the county commissioners requires the building be named after Richter’s father, Marvin Richter, who was instrumental in the state’s agriculture community. The courthouse renovation will occur in three parts with the first estimated to cost around $1 million. No county offices will be moved to the building when the first phase is complete.

The Whippoorwill

What is it about a place and time that stirs such emotion within a person? Is it the people, the culture, the terrain, or is it something much deeper that takes residence within a person’s soul that leaves such an unmistakable mark we carry with us throughout our lives. As a young man I was forever exploring the beautifully-forested hills and hollows of majestic oaks and hickories that characterized my Calhoun home. I decided to go camping one day and with Mom’s permission and assistance, set out into the hills to find just the right place to set up camp. After hiking for hours, I came upon a glade, deep within the forest far from any man made intrusions. After setting up camp and building a campfire, I settled in for the night. There was a strange stillness in the quiet coolness of the night as I lay back upon my blanket, cushioned by the dense, soft grass beneath. The only sound came from the faint crackling in the remnants of the campfire, the flames now reduced to a flicker. The air was filled with the sweet, organic scent of the forest mixed with an occasional whisp of wood smoke from the fire, moist from the descending dew and as soft as a lover’s breath caressing my skin. Gazing into the night sky filled with countless twinkling stars,

my thoughts seemed to drift aimlessly as a boat that had slipped its moorings. Then, beyond the abating light of the fire, far off into the black abyss of the forest, I heard the hauntingly lonely call of a Whippoorwill. He would send his far away call out into the endless void of the night, “WhipPoor-Will, Whip-Poor-Will, WhipPoor-Will,” then pause to await a response. Time after time his plea would echo down the hollows of the blackened forest, deep within the vastness of the night. As he would pause to await a response, I, too, found myself straining to hear a reply to his mournful plea. “Whip-Poor-Will, WhipPoor-Will, Whip-Poor-Will,” then silence as I waited and hoped for a response to his lonesome refrain. I lay there listening to him, each chorus more desperate and determined than the last it seemed. When he fell silent for the night, the strange quiet that had been present also ended. Now, the creatures of the night began to make their presence known with crickets chirping, owls hooting and a wayward coyote howling. It was as if they all had held their silence in reverence for the Whippoorwill so his plea would not be hindered. The chorus I now was hearing seemed joyous and lively, as if they were celebrating something. It was then that I somehow knew

the motivaGuest tion for the Column Whippoorwill’s sad yet unend- BY JONATHAN ing determinaKAAUL tion. Someone near and dear to the Whippoorwill had become lost within the endless black void of the night. Alone and afraid with only the sound of his mournful plea as a beacon, the lost one had finally found its way home. The fire, now reduced to glowing red embers, seemed to signal an end to this day for me and the lonesome Whippoorwill as I slipped away from this magical moment into sleep. As with the faint, persistent plea of the Whippoorwill deep within the black abyss of the night or as with a mother drawing her frightened child onto her bosom, so too, does Calhoun call out to those privileged few blessed to have called it home. Calhoun: a place of beauty, peace and solitude where you are always welcome when you return and missed when you are away, a place that’s forever - home. “The Whip-poor-wil” is an excerpt from Mr. Kauls’ (formerly from Kampsville) recently published book “Venison Stew” available online at http://www. publishamerica.com/, Amazon and Kindle.

Letter to the editor Toys for Tots campaign a huge success TO THE EDITOR: Christmas Day this year was just a little bit brighter for 2,262 children in Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, and northern Macoupin counties. Facing rising unemployment in most areas, the outlook of Christmas seemed very bleak for these children. Because of the generosity of the people and assistance from the Toys for Tots Foundation, we were able to provide gifts for the 2,262 children in our four-county service areas. Let me express my gratitude to all who donated toys,

money and especially time this year. This year was truly a community effort, from Virden, to Carlinville, to Brighton, to Hardin, to Roodhouse, to Carrollton, to Kane, to Jerseyville and many points in between. Everyone came together and provided the children of these counties a truly joyful Christmas. This community truly believes: “Every child deserves a Merry Christmas.” My thanks to all who participated this year, and I am looking forward to working with you all again in 2014. This will be my

last year as the Toys for Tots Area Coordinator. I have enjoyed working with this program and with each individual and organization involved. Captain Marshall Lewis, USMC (Retired) has been named as my replacement staring in 2015. Marshall and I look forward to serving our area of responsibility together this year, and continuing the Toys for Tots Program for many years to come. WEBB CUNNINGHAM Area Toys for Tots Coordinator

Stone Valley (Continued from A1) design and how to fire it. Students who worked with glass left with a small dish or a jewelry pendant they made. Though use of machines was popular, DePriest said many of the 16 students in the class were interested in dying fabrics to make scarves or other decorative clothing accessories. Fabric dying was a favorite of LHS sophomore, Kelly Smith. “I liked dying the scarves because I’ve never been able to do that before and it was interesting,” Smith said. DePriest said giving her students a means to express themselves with artistic media with which they otherwise would never be able to experience gave her newfound knowledge, as well. “We had a blast creating the art, and I have heard a lot of discussion about wanting to return to take other classes,” DePriest said in an email. “Besides it being a great field trip, I am most grateful for the things I learned in which to strengthen my own knowledge.” Basden said it is exciting to know Stone Bridge Valley has gained momentum into the new year and hopes more schools outside the county will take advantage of the art center’s offerings. Basden has been offering similar experiences to schools in Calhoun County, as well as the Friday night art offerings she’s made available since last fall. She said there are a number of people who are unable to make it to the later times in the evening, and the art center owner said she has expanded the times to include one for 10 a.m. Fridays, as well. Basden said the Calhoun Art Guild is planning a number of events for the year including featured shows for local artists similar to those hosted by Stone Bridge Valley last year. The guild also plans to hold an art sale in June at Stone Bridge Valley for artists in the area to display and sell their work.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS ■ Blessings from Belleview

by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012 under a large tube and then disappear from sight. As I patiently waited for him at the exit, out of the corner of my eye I saw his head pop out of the entrance. “Are you ready to go?” I asked. “No”, he responded, “Come.” I harken back to the days where I use to be in shape to do such things and excelled in athletics such as basketball but now I am simply in the shape of a basketball. I warily crawled into the entrance and immediately noticed the smile on his face. After crawling under the large tube where I saw him disappear, I discovered why he did not make it far. He struggled with a large hump that rose immediately after the tube. To my horror, just beyond the hump was a climbing wall that I knew he would not make it over. Thinking to myself, I reasoned that the reason this was called Adrenaline Rush II was because my adrenaline rushed out of me within two seconds. Sweating profusely from climbing, squeezing, and sliding down obstacle, I have never been happier to set my feet on the soft bouncy blue mat that served as the floor. Within this story lie several life applications. One, our journey from start to finish is filled with obstacles and oftentimes there are certain portions where we will face the greatest difficulty. Two, quitting or giving up will never allow you to accomplish or reach the finish. Three, there are others who face great difficulties on that journey from start to finish that the simply need someone to help them along or guide them through the difficult portions. In other words, they need a friend who cares. Maybe you can be that one. Four, once the finish has been reached, then all the struggles and difficulties that have been endured will make the finish much more special and worthwhile. Yes, my journey has faced difficulties and I face struggles even in this day but I know and believe that the best is yet to come. If you know someone faced with difficulties, do not hesitate being a friend and if you are faced with difficulty, do not hesitate in asking a friend. If anything else, you can always contact me, I will be glad to help any way that I can.

Easley I’m forever finding beauty, All about me everywhere, And it reaches out to touch me, When I am least aware. Standing on the edge of gladness, I reflect each different shade, And I marvel at the richness, Every vibrant tone has made. Blending in the lights and shadows, I’ve discovered I can see, Just beyond the range of vision, Normally assigned to me. Reaching up through outer limits, Using goodness for a stair, I am full of breathless wonder …Finding BEAUTY EVERYWHERE!

■ Summit Grove News by Martha Narup ■ 653-4306 Sympathy to the families of Jeanette Suhling of Texas, Russell Churchman of Florida, and Karen Tow. Karen was a sister to Carmen Narup. Birthday greetings to Barb Kiel and Hannah Mixer. A couple of weeks ago, Dennis had to take Martha to the emergency room. I was admitted for a couple of days with pneumonia, and congestive heart failure.

Thanks kids for all you had done for me. Dan Bland visited Martha Friday evening. He brought me some homemade sausage. Sunday guests at Martha’s were Bill, Rita, Lexi and Dennis. The Sievers took my Christmas decorations down. We were unable to have Christmas together because of the weather.

After the miserable nine to 10 inch snowstorm last Sunday (Jan. 5) followed by high winds and drifting snow, everyone was content staying in so therefore not many news items this week. Thank goodness it warmed up, the snow has melted considerably and even the Winfield Ferry is back running again. On Monday evening Jeff, Debbie and Shannon Kamp returned from Columbia, IL where they had attended the visitation and funeral of Tonya Kirchner at the Lawlor Funeral Home. Tonya, a Flight Nurse for Arch Helicopter, passed away on New Years Day. She and her daughter, Haley, had lived in Golden Eagle approximately eight years ago. If anyone would like to send Haley a note of sympathy she is now attending college and her address is: Ms. Haley Kirchner, 132 20th Avenue S.W. #E2 Cedar Rapids, IA 52404. I drove to O’Fallon, MO on Saturday morning and hosted a Miche Handbag Party for my daughter, Shelly Scherer. In attendance for the afternoon were Pat Scherer, Roseanne MacCauley, Theresa and Janica Scherer, Robbie Simon, Betty Shaw, Brooke Hanchette, Glenda Stucker and Cyndi Axford and Mackenzie. Afterwards refreshments were served and a nice visit was enjoyed by all. On Sunday I attended church with Dennis and Shelly and afterwards we prepared a birthday dinner for my daughter Cyndi Axford of Chesterfield. Also in attendance were Trevor, Madison and Mackenzie Axford. The remainder of the day was spent visiting while the guys watched football. Originally we had planned for John Carnes (whose birthday was that day) and his family to join us but they were taking their daughter Hannah back to Eastern IL.

University in Normal now that her Christmas break had ended. Many more “happy ones” to both John and Cyndi! Congratulations to Haley Rose, daughter of Steve and Susan Rose of Golden Eagle. The Dr. Silas Hamilton Chapter National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, announced recently she was one of the 2013-2014 DAR Good Citizens. Members of the senior class, these students’ best exemplify the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. Haley is a senior at Brussels High School and plans to attend Maryville University to major in occupational therapy. The Brussels Girl Scouts are now selling Girl Scout Cookies. This will continue until Saturday, Jan. 25. If you are not contacted by one of the scouts, but are interested in purchasing cookies, please call one of their leaders, Debbie Kamp, 883-2162, Nancy Robeen 883-2249 or Cyndi Kinder at 8832664. A portion of the cookie sale proceeds will be used to benefit the community. Birthday greetings this week to my daughter Cyndi Axford, also Debbie Kamp, Mary Vogel, Agnes Kamp, Megan Brangenberg, Loralei Hartman and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Walter and Jessie Dixon, Greg and Agnes Kamp and all other couples celebrating their wedding anniversary this week. Our recent snowstorm was the third of the season and the weatherman states we have already exceeded the normal snowfall for the winter already. At this time I would like to thank Paul Droege, Bob Held, Roy Hagen, Kevin Eberlin and Blake Kamp for keeping my driveways open. What would we do without friends and neighbors???

I do not care what anyone says, we had a great weekend at Belleview. Yes sir we did. My wife walked into the fellowship hall on Friday night only to see three to four inches of standing water from a busted pipe. We quickly moved the Community Helpings Coop upstairs and myself and a few others in the church spent most of Friday night cleaning up and vacuuming out water. Thankfully our floor drain worked and the water dissipated as the night progress. Saturday morning was spent removing more water as I waited for a professional water extractor to give me his input. He expressed that we did everything right and our damage may not be as severe as it could have been. I do want to send a shout out to Kathleen Green for allowing us the usage of her large commercial shop fan and also to her son Wesley who helped us as well. I am thankful for those who volunteered and offered to volunteer. It is such a joy to know there are those who are ready to assist. I do want to send a birthday shout out to Jarrod Hayn who had a birthday on Jan. 10, Josh Bridges who had a birthday on Jan. 13, Kevin Osterman who celebrates his birthday on Jan. 15, Mary Gill who celebrates a birthday on Jan. 20 and Tamara Osterman who celebrates her birthday on Jan. 21. That just about puts me out of breath typing it. Our family of five received a recent invitation to attend a birthday party in Jerseyville at Bouncetastic. There are three enormous size inflatables located in the large pole building located on the outskirts of town. I was content on just allowing my children to roam free as I sat in a chair with a central view on the three inflatables to keep an eye on my children and talking to whoever was brave enough to come near me. Adrenaline Rush II was a large inflatable obstacle course that seemed to be the joy of every partier that was there. Kids screamed and raced as I kept a watchful eye on my children. Then there is my soon to be three adventurous son. He wanted to participate. So I walked him to the entrance to the inflatable and helped him into the round entry and said, “Have fun.” I watched him crawl

The Appendix If you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago, you were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform appendix—the small wormlike pouch that hangs from the cecum of the large intestine), was a useless structure, perhaps some vestigial organ that served a purpose in our long-distant past. I distinctly remember an argument some thirty years ago between my father (who argued that it must have some purpose) and my brother (who was in his first or second year of medical school, and who argued that it had none that could be discerned). My father's argument was based on his belief that God would not have created something without a purpose. He didn't necessarily know what the purpose was, but there must be

one. People do just fine without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked, furthermore, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat from getting in your eyes was my father's answer, and wouldn't we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science now believes that the appendix is a repository for the good bacteria that colonize our intestines and which aid in all sorts of important functions, from digestion to our immune system. So score one for Dad, and the view that to everything under heaven there is indeed a purpose. We may not always know that purpose but should trust to Providence that there is one. – Christopher Simon

Join the number one crop-hail and farm insurer in Illinois and your local COUNTRY Financial® representative, Daniel Eberlin, for the “Crop Update: Understanding Crop Insurance” seminar to learn how to get the most out of your harvest. This free informational session will be held on Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. at the Illinois Riverdock Restaurant in Hardin.

Planning a marriage, not just a wedding I’m getting married! I’m super excited about planning my fiancée and I’s destination wedding. Deciding on wedding colors, a venue, dresses, shoes, food and everything else that’s going into our special day is a lot of fun. But recently, amidst all of my planning and Pinterest-ing in preparation for the big day, it suddenly hit me… I’M GETTING MARRIED! Following our one day of celebrating the wedding, there’s an entire lifetime of marriage awaiting. I realized — while I’m all over making plans for the wedding day — I haven’t begun planning our marriage. Everybody wants “happily ever after,” but a lot of different things need to be considered and thought about in order to make that happen. First of all, who is going to manage the money? Or do we manage our own money separately? What makes the most sense financially? How should we divide household bills when we aren’t making equal salaries? It can all be a mess to think about. Speaking of messes, my fiancée and I have very different ideas of “clean.” I have an organized house. I like things stacked up and put away. He likes things spread out and easily accessible. How is our Tupperware cabinet going to work? I wash my dishes when the sink is full; my fiancée does them as he uses them. He unloads the dishwasher when the dishes are clean; I typically

wait to unload it until Guest it needs loading again. Column Sometimes I just need to step outside for some BY fresh air after thinking JULIE NASH about it all. Speaking of outside, the yard work is going to open another can of worms. My fiancée enjoys mowing and working in the flowerbeds; I’ve always hired someone to mow and just hoped it rains to water any flowers. I don’t rake leaves or shovel snow, either. In fact, I don’t think I even own a rake or shovel. It’s a lot of little things, but they’re all little things my fiancée and I will be spending the rest of our lives living with. There are many other things that we do every day that are different, too — and planning those aspects of your future life together are just as important as all the details surrounding the wedding day. When you are first in love, everything about your significant other is cute, but will you think it’s all cute for the next 50-plus years? I think it’s important to discuss and think about these types of things. A wedding is a wonderful way to express your love and it’s a lot of fun to plan and make the day uniquely your own and a big celebration — but don’t forget that the marriage that follows that wedding day lasts a lifetime. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Julie Nash is an advertising representative for Campbell Publications.

Did you know? For decades the month of June held firm as the most popular month for weddings. But statistics now indicate that there may be shifting preferences in the time of the year for marriages. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, July and August are now the most popular months for tying the knot in the United States. September and October have

also gained momentum as premier months. Explanations for this shift vary, but it may have something to do with changing weather patterns and warmer weather now arriving later in the season than in the past. Also, getting married later in the year may make it easier for couples to secure their first choice of wedding venues

Things to do when starting a nonprofit

In recent years, the number of nonprofit organizations has skyrocketed. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are around 1.5 million taxexempt organizations operating in the United States, which report more than $1.59 trillion in total revenue. The organization Imagine Canada says there are an estimated 165,000 nonprofit organizations in Canada, where the nonprofit and voluntary sector is the second largest in the world behind the Netherlands. Establishing a nonprofit organization is not an easy task and should not be entered without sound guidance and forethought. Though beginning a business, be it a forprofit or nonprofit organization, is different for everyone, there are some common steps when founding a nonprofit organization. While this information is to serve as a reference, it should not replace the advice of legal counsel knowledgeable of tax-exempt organizations in your area. The requirements for starting a nonprofit organization vary depending on a host of factors, including geography, so it is highly recommended that men and women looking to start a nonprofit organization consult with an attorney to ensure they are in compliance with all regulations before opening their doors. n Write a mission statement that clarifies your intentions. The mission statement should identify the overall purpose of the organization, including why the organization should exist. Include the values that will guide the nonprofit, its benefit to others, and how you would like others to view the business. Do no go forward with your plan if you cannot clearly identify a mission for your organization. n Decide the type of organization you want to be. This will help categorize your nonprofit. Being tax-exempt is not the same as being tax-deductible. You may want your organization to be incorporated to protect against personal liability. Otherwise, you may want to be an informal nonprofit organization, such as a group of friends getting together for a common goal. Setting the groundwork for your nonprofit will depend on the type of organization you want to build. n Determine who will be involved with the organization. Having a lot of people interested in the nonprofit can signal broad com-

munity support. Otherwise, if the nonprofit is only exciting to a few people, it may prove less capable of realizing its mission statement. Try to create a group of mixed talents that will have a shared passion. If there is not enough interest, it might be better for you to focus your efforts on joining an existing organization with a similar focus. n Create a business plan that includes a needs assessment. A needs assessment is used to determine if there really is a need in your community for the services you want to offer. Although the nonprofit will be established to help others and not to make money, it is still a business and must be deemed viable. The business plan should also include where the nonprofit will be located, how you will market your product or service, how management and staff will be organized, and where you will get money for the startup and monthly operations. n Develop a fundraising plan early on. Fundraising is necessary to meet your operation costs and develop funds necessary to achieve your goals. The majority of that funding will come from private citizens and local service groups. Seeking donations strictly via a Web site may be ineffective and illegal, particularly if the organization is not registered to solicit funds outside of its home state. A Web site should further your cause, but effective advertising and word-of-mouth recommendations will help fuel donations. There are a variety of other things to consider when starting a nonprofit organization. You may need liability insurance and an insurance agent to handle health and life insurance benefits for employees. Bylaws should be written to specify how the board will operate. A solicitation license will be required if you plan to solicit funds, and you may need a mail permit to get a discount on bulk mailings. Those who plan to file for tax-exempt status will be required to fill out the requisite forms at both the federal and state or provincial levels. There are many free or low-cost resources available to help guide you through the process of starting a nonprofit, both online and at the library. Working at another nonprofit organization or volunteering your time can prove an invaluable experience to men and women hoping to one day start their own nonprofit organization.

‘Mamma Mia!’ walks downs the aisle of the Fabulous Fox Theatre “Mamma Mia!,” the smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Friday, Feb. 7-9. An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her

own. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” “Mamma Mia!” is a celebration of mothers and

daughters, old friends and new family found. Performances of “Mamma Mia!” at the Fabulous Fox Theatre run Feb. 7-9. Show times are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m., Saturday afternoons at 2 p.m., Sunday afternoons at 1 p.m., and Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available online at MetroTix.com, by calling (314) 5341111 or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office. Ticket prices start at $30. Prices are subject to change; please refer to FabulousFox.com for current pricing.

A cold break-up

Bob Crossen/Calhoun News-Herald

Broken pieces of ice which covered the surface of the Illinois River last week during freezing temperatures and inches of snowfall shift their way under the Joe Page Bridge in Hardin Monday afternoon.

Chunks of ices filter down the Illinois River Monday afternoon south of the Joe Page Bridge in Hardin. The river froze last week when the area was hit by freezing temperatures and many inches of snowfall. As the area warmed and barges breached the ice, the broken pieces began traveling south as they thawed.
