Swimming pool, roadwork items of discussion at county board meeting

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald At the Calhoun County Board meeting Feb. 18, Dick Lieber, Bob Ellis, and Dwayne and Kate Sievers addressed the board concerning the future of the community swimming pool.

Lieber, who is the chairman of the Calhoun Community Swimming Pool Association, spoke on behalf of the committee. “The swimming pool opened in 1989 at a cost of around $230,000.

The Lions Club operated the pool until 2018, when they disbanded and a group of interested persons formed a committee and took over the operation into the Calhoun Community Swimming Pool

Association. They attained a 501c3 tax exempt status and have since been raising funds for the pool.�

Lieber also mentioned issues concerning the pool, including a severe leak that is possibly structural, limited parking and a lack of accessibility, especially during flood season. “The committee’s vision for the future is a new swimming pool out of the flood plain with ample parking.

A new pool could even be a part of a larger parks and recreation district, if that were ever a possibility with the county,� Lieber said. “In order to raise significant public funding for the new pool, we’ve found that it’s going to be very difficult for a private organization like ourselves to

do. A rough guess is that a new pool would cost, at most, $750,000. We see that it could be possible under the auspices of a government organization.

Our proposal for you is to see if you’d be interested in doing a feasibility study and would want to have some of our people work to see what we could come up with in terms of funding to make such a pool a reasonable possibility for the people of this county,� Lieber said. “The group is aware of several grants available at their disposal, but they were all only open to government entities, so if you weren’t a part of one, then you weren’t eligible for the grants,� noted fellow committee member Kate Sievers.

The group is a private 501c3 organization and thus could not seek out these available grants on their own, so the conversation began steering toward an unfunded parks and recreation district and what that might entail at both a county level and a municipal level. “An unfunded parks and recreation department would give us the opportunity to seek these grants to put in a pool. We don’t know how many more years with this pool we have,� Dwayne Sievers said.

After some further discussion into the matter, a motion was made for Rick Ringhausen to provide legal opinion

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The replacement of faucets at the Calhoun High School appear to have lowered lead levels in the water at the school.

It was announced at the Calhoun School Board meeting Wednesday, Feb. 19 that all of the replaced faucets at the school were tested, and they all came back with lead levels that were below Illinois Department of Public health’s 5 parts per billion (ppb) threshold. Some came back with “no trace� at all, Calhoun Superintendent Kate Sievers said.

ollowing the competition of the HVAC systems throughout the district, roof work on the high school is anticipated as the next big project for the Brussels School District.

Concerns regarding the state of the high school roof were raised at the school board meeting Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Brussels Superintendent Mark Martin said the matter was brought before the school board that evening, noting that it was on the district’s radar, but that other projects like the HVAC project, which has been paid off, were prioritized.

The roof has been patched over the course of several years, but the roof is meeting the end of its lifespan, according to school leaders. “This looks like it’s the next project,�

Martin said. â€œâ€ŚI think we are going to have to do more patching.â€?

It was said in the meeting that pieces of the shingled roof were found in the driveway following particular strong winds.

Martin said the district was supportive of replacing the current roof with a metal one for the purposes of longevity and durability; however, the district is currently

looking at all available options.

Martin said the project would likely take place over the summer when students are out of school.

Also too, the district is looking to replace the walk-in freezer for the cafeteria. A compressor broke in the freezer, leaving it offline.

Instead of replacing the compressor, Martin said the district is looking at replacing the freezer as a whole, noting its age. “The freezer is really ancient,� Martin said.

In the meantime, food is being stored in various places in Brussels and Meppen.

Martin said this only a temporary solution, though. “It is not handy running a cafeteria with food you need to run and get,� he said.

Special recognitions were given to: Q Sofie Myers, who was described as a good role model for other students and was selected as the Brussels Elementary School student of the month.

Q Will Schleeper as the Brussels High School student of the month. It was said that he displays a kind attitude within class and takes the initiative to do extra work outside of the classroom for the school.

Q Some of the Brussels students who participated in the annual Olympiad. At the high school level, their junior team, (See, BRUSSELS, A2)

The faucets were in various places throughout the building and concession stand. They were replaced in December 2019 by Loellke Plumbing Inc. “We followed the advice of the plumbing experts, and this was the first step in mitigating the lead issues,� Sievers said.

Through this measure, they found success, she said.

At the same time, the school district has been dealing with early dismissals and closures because of water main breaks at the village level, prompting school leaders to look to other options for their water, including Calhoun Rural Water.

Sievers indicated they are still exploring that option at this time.

During the meeting, the Calhoun School Board OK’d district leaders to enter into a memorandum of understanding with local authorities allowing police to notify school administrators when a student has experienced trauma.

Mike Chamness, a representative from the Illinois Terrorism Taskforce, shared the memorandum with local authorities and the Illinois State Police, and the school district was notified of the potential implementation in Calhoun.

This model, called the Handle with Care initiative, is one that has been adopted in other states such as West Virginia where school districts and local law enforcement agencies enter into an information sharing agreement where law enforcement officers responding to any incident where children are present would gather the names, grades and schools that the children attend. School officials then would receive information via phone call, email or text that lists only the children’s names, grades, schools and the message “Handle With Care,� according

to the official recommendation of the Illinois Terrorism Task Force School Safety Working Group dated in October 2019.

Superintendent Kate Sievers said this will allow the school leaders a better understanding to assist the student. “We have seen students come into school upset, mad, angry, withdrawn, etc. and couldn’t figure out what was going on because they were embarrassed or just would not share anything, and we didn’t know how to help them,�

Sievers said. “This gives the administrator a heads up, and they can be proactive in being ready to help that child when they get to school.�

Sievers stressed that this was not a move geared to involve school officials in business on the home front.

According to the Terrorism Task Force School Safety Working Group, this does not violate any privacy laws according to Attorneys General in various states that have implemented the program.

School leaders have already spoken to Hardin Police Chief Greg Weishaupt and Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington, who were said to both be receptive to the idea.

Weishaupt said he has reached out to the Illinois State Police (ISP) to get their potential participation, too. Even if ISP officials do not agree to this, the Calhoun Sheriff’s Office deputies and the Hardin Village police have still decided to participate.

The goal of the program is simply to make school administrators, teachers, staff, counselors and others aware that something possibly traumatic has occurred recently in that child’s life so he or she can be handled with care and given appropriate help if needed, according to the Terrorism Task Force School Safety Working Group.

During the public comment section of the meeting, Peggy Hall, PTO representative, presented an idea the PTO may adopt called “Bright School Kitz� where pre-made school supply kits are made and parents can order them and have them delivered to the school.

According to the school board summary, each kit would be made according to each individual classroom’s supply list and needs. Hall reportedly has done some research on the cost of the kit to families versus their material costs, and it is very close in price. The PTO has already spoken to teachers to get their classroom supply lists and will continue to update the lists as needed.

The school board has given the PTO their blessing, hoping this will alleviate some stress for the parents, the board summary details.

Also in the meeting: Q Emma Green was congratulated on getting a full paid scholarship to Illinois College.

Q The Senior Class Trip was announced to take place March 14-16 to Nashville.

Biometrics are coming, like it or not CHS

By BILL HOAGLAND Do you find it frustrating trying to remember your original passwords (all three of them) and all the subsequent passwords you were told to substitute for the original stuff; of course, we never seem to have that list of new and old passwords handy when we need them--even when we have a list, right?

To make matters worse, you are told that notwithstanding your best efforts to periodically change your passwords, your Social Security Number, date of birth, mother’s maiden name and that goofy little three-digit number on the back of your credit card are all out there on the dark web, waiting to join in a concerted effort to render you bankrupt.

To combat these issues of computer fraud and identity theft that result from the continued use of passwords as the primary means of identification, numerous companies have been researching the use of biometrics to develop a better, safer means of personal identification for your credit cards, computer access and so on. If they can come up with a foolproof biometric system, the good news is that you won’t have to memorize all those passwords anymore.

The bad news is that some folks believe these biometric identifiers are “too invasive” and should be prohibited regardless of how effective they might be.

Before we discuss current research on biometrics, let’s back up a minute and get a better understanding of what biometric identification means.

Biometric identification is the use of human characteristics to verify our individual identities. We all have characteristics that are unique to each of us, such as fingerprints and DNA; in other words, no one else has your fingerprint pattern or your DNA. There are two categories of biometric identifiers: physiological and behavioral. The physiological identifiers include not only fingerprints and DNA but also facial structure, iris composition and palm prints. The behavioral identifiers include your gait, voice patterns, and believe it or not, even how you use your computer at different times of the day.

These biometric identifiers generally cannot be duplicated by hackers and that is why they are safer to use than passwords.

Twenty years ago, the use of passwords worked fine as protection against hackers. But we all know that passwords can now be determined in milliseconds.

And with the advent of Facebook and other social media platforms, much of your personal information that was formally used to identify you, such as your mother’s maiden name, is laid out there for all to see and use This is why some vendors and employ-

ers have been using physiological features such as fingerprints to help identify the user. But to add another layer to the identification process and to make it that much more difficult for hackers, we soon may have the behavioral aspect thrown in for extra protection.

Looking at and recording your unique behavioral conduct throughout the day, frankly, might seem unusually invasive. As reported

by Luana Pascu for www. biometricupdate.com, the behavioral conduct these companies are considering to record and use to identify you might include how you as an individual behave early in the morning when you are fresh verses how you behave late at night when you are tired. And those behavioral differences might be evident on your keyboard, how you handle your cell phone or how you handle your computer mouse in the morning verses late at night. For example, if you are tired at night, you might be more inclined to hit your keyboard harder than in the morning when you are refreshed. These individual and highly per-

sonal aspects of your daily behavior can be detected and preserved as a means of identifying you, just as we are doing now with fingerprints.

Personally, I don’t care how “invasive” these considerations might be. Let’s face it: what could be more “invasive” than someone in Russia having access to your credit card, your income tax refund or your IRA? Or what could be more “invasive” than a terrorist who is able to pass through an airport because facial profiling was deemed to be “too invasive” and therefore prohibited? I for one am glad someone is moving ahead with our protection by the use of biometrics, regardless of how invasive it might seem.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Growth happens when winds are against us One of the obstacles that most hunters and fishermen dread is the wind.

A light wind is not a factor – it’s even helpful, but a windy day is burdensome to the fishermen and causes most game to stay out of sight. Most of the time, I complain about the wind like everyone else. But there are a few circumstances where the wind actually adds excitement to the hunt and gives me the edge. One of those circumstances is when I’m turkey hunting.

As you turkey hunters know, this particular bird has excellent sight and can distinguish colors as well. The least movement will turn an otherwise successful hunt into a what-if story. When the wind is still,

I’m still, but when the wind blows, I use the opportunity to do a little stalking. I can remember on one of these mornings, I was able to crawl within fifteen yards of nine jakes without ever calling.

And after they recognized something was not right, they came closer for some investigation. I could almost touch them with the end of my gun.

Now that was exciting.

Many times, we assume the worst when the wind is involved. We use clichés like the “winds of change” or we offer encouragement by saying “keep the wind to your back,” as if a headwind is a negative thing. The truth is, most of our growth happens when the winds are against us.

These gusts challenge our normal and comfortable way of doing things. They make us decide whether we will curse our circumstances or use them to find another way. They reveal to us our fears and our ability to adapt and overcome.

They show us who or what is controlling our life. Perhaps the winds of difficulty are blowing against you right now.

Perhaps it seems they are so strong your boat is standing still. It may be that God is simply causing you to move in another direction. Or it may be he is using these gusts to reveal to you a fear you need to relinquish.

The wind can be your friend if you will always remember God is at its helm. He will

determine its length a n d strength.

He will use it to bring you new successes in different ways. And in doing this, He will cause you to have a greater trust in him.

Letter to the editor Davis should push back against proposed Medicaid cuts TO THE EDITOR: My Congressman, Rodney Davis, has supported President Trump on votes 85 percent of the time in the 2017-2018 Congressional year and 96.9 percent of the time in the 20192020 Congressional year.

Based on that record, I fear that Davis will vote to cut funding to Medicaid under Trump’s new budget proposal. This could leave our seniors

and their families to figure out what they need to cut from their budgets to provide nursing home care for their loved ones.

Currently, Medicaid is funded jointly by states and the federal government.

Under the proposed Medicaid block grants, states would only receive a specified amount for Medicaid spending. I fear that seniors needing longterm nursing home care at the end of

their lives would be among the first to experience the funding cuts.

Call or write to let Rodney Davis know that there should be no cuts to Medicaid and ask him to vote against the budget proposal. His past record tells me that he will vote for whatever Trump proposes!

Filled bags should be set out in a visible spot by 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 14.

The Brussels Girl Scout Troop 405 is teaming up with the National Honor Society from Brussels High School to do the food

drive in the southern part of the county up to the Batchtown area. The Brussels Girl Scouts and NHS members will return to collect items from residents on March 14. They will then head back to St. Matthew’s Church Hall to sort and box items and deliver to Angel Ministries in Hardin.

These items will then be gifted to families of the community.

“A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion.

Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world.”

-Joseph Taylor

id you know that the man who first formulated the Big Bang theory was a Jesuit priest? Georges Lemaitre was a Jesuit-trained mathematician, astronomer and physicist who surmised that the recession of nearby galaxies could be explained by an expanding universe, and went on to develop what he called the theory of the primeval atom (later referred to as the “Big Bang” theory). Lemaitre postulated that if we extrapolate backwards from the observable fact of an expanding universe we come to a point in the distant past when the entire mass of the universe was concentrated in a single point, the “primeval atom,” as it were, from which time and space as we know them came into existence. Lemaitre believed that this event was essentially the creation of the physical universe, and although Lemaitre wasn’t prone to mixing scientific and religious explanations, he didn’t see any conflict here. Gregor Mendel, the man who is usually considered the

father of modern Genetics, was an Augustinian friar. His work with pea plants established many of the rules of heredity, giving us the terms “recessive” and “dominant” with respect to inherited traits. Mendel’s work is important because it explains an important mechanism by which species change over time. Religion is sometimes seen as the benighted cousin of ignorance and superstition, but in reality, truth is one. There is only conflict if we insist on reading ancient religious texts as scientific treatises, which they were never intended to be.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Meaning of Ash Wednesday: This day derives its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of Christians to the words “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” or “Repent and believe in the Gospel”.

This day marks the beginning of Lent and is always 46 days before Easter.

Q Kampsville News

Anyone wanting to get down 96 on Wednesday morning wasn’t going to do it quickly! Even the school buses had to detour because a semi couldn’t make it through the construction on the bridge and attempted to turn around. That attempt was somewhat failed as it got stuck and blocked the highway most of the morning. I guess on the bright side, if you had to detour through the hills, Wednesday was a good morning to do it. The sun was out and it was a beautiful morning to enjoy the Calhoun scenery.

It’s been pretty noisy here in Kampsville the last week. The geese can be heard all hours flying over and across the river from us and down on our riverfront.

It’s been absolutely unbelievable.

Our Queen still hasn’t been found. Get your tickets.

The junior class is taking orders for Krispy Kreme doughnuts to help pay for after prom. Anyone wanting to order donuts please let me know and I will get them ordered for you.

With March Madness looming, lawmakers renew college athlete endorsement push Current, former NBA players join in call for allowing name, likeness compensation

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Nearing the tipoff of March Madness, Illinois lawmakers – backed by a pair of NBA brothers – are renewing a push to allow college athletes to profit from the use of their name and likeness.

Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch called a Chicago news conference Friday, Feb. 14, to push for his Student Athlete Endorsement Act, or House Bill 3904, which is awaiting a vote in the Illinois Senate.

“In a little over a month, the NCAA is going to see its cash cow start – March Madness,” he said. “And the students won’t see a dime from March Madness. And all we’re saying is let’s be equitable and let’s be fair.

Let’s let students profit off their own name, likeness and image.”

The bill would allow collegiate athletes to be paid for the use of their name and likeness and would prohibit the NCAA – the association which oversees major college athletics – from punishing students who take part in the payment or the universities they attend. It would not

allow for payment of salaries by universities.

Welch said it requires any endorsement contract to be disclosed to universities and allows students to sign with agents who must be licensed with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations.

It would take effect in 2023. The reason for the grace period is to allow for an expected legal challenge, Welch said in October.

The bill passed the House with bipartisan support in October during the fall veto session, but failed to reach a vote in the Senate. He said the chamber’s change in leadership at the time could have stalled the proposal, which is backed by Gov. JB Pritzker, but he believes “the time is right” to move it forward once again with a new Senate president installed.

Sen. Elgie Sims, a Chicago Democrat and sponsor of the bill in the Senate, was unable to take a call Friday, but his office said he “plans to continue working with his colleagues in an effort to get the bill passed this spring.”

On Friday, Welch was joined by brothers Shannon

and Sterling Brown, who both grew up in suburban Maywood, graduated from the Proviso Township High School District and played basketball at Proviso East High School before entering the NBA. Shannon Brown, the elder of the brothers, played three years at Michigan State University and went on to a nine-year NBA career that included two championship rings. Sterling plays for the Milwaukee Bucks after having played four years at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

The pair founded the Brown Brothers SALUTE foundation which provides “events, programs, services and resources to under-served youth and adults within low income neighborhoods.”

The elder Brown said while he considered the possibility that endorsement deals for athletes could “detour them from actually going out and pursuing their dreams and their goals,” he believes the level of sacrifice made by college athletes deserves compensation.

“I want to see them and their families thrive on the

work that they put in,” he said. “I feel like enough hard work is put in that these kids should definitely be able to benefit from it in a way that is positive.”

Rep. Kambium Buckner, a Chicago Democrat who cosponsors the bill in the House, played football at the University of Illinois, went to law school and concentrated on sports and entertainment law.

“What I saw firsthand is that the window to profit from skillset and likeness is very short and finite for the majority of these women and men,” he said.

Sterling Brown agreed and said sacrifices players make for college basketball include late nights and time away from family.

“Those who got the bigger names are going to have a bigger chance to go to the NBA and fulfill their dreams financially and on the basketball side,” the younger Brown said. “And some who got big names on campus are not really going to get that shot all the time, so if they can get a little something while they’re in college and while they got that hype

and that buzz around their name and everybody is buying their jersey, everybody is watching them and following them, and they can help their family, why not?”

He also said that receiving endorsements at the collegiate level could provide a valuable learning experience for college athletes, some of whom get to the NBA without any education on the “financial and business side of things.”

While the NCAA announced in October, just before the bill’s House passage, that the association would “start the process” of changing its rules to allow athletes to profit from their name and likeness, Welch said at the time the move was a public relations stunt and pressure from states was still necessary.

“We believe the time is right to call it into action. It’s time to put this bill on the floor, call it for a vote, and let’s get it on the governor’s desk and keep the pressure on the NCAA to do the right thing,” he said Friday.

This week, the Associated Press reported that NCAA President Mark Emmert

urged the U.S. Congress to “put restrictions on college athletes' ability to earn money from endorsements, telling a Senate committee Tuesday that federal action is needed to ‘maintain uniform standards in college sports’ amid player-friendly laws approved in California and under consideration in other states.”

The NCAA opposed the California bill, which Illinois’ legislation mirrors.

In October House debate, Rep. Anthony DeLuca, a Chicago Heights Democrat, called the bill “a dagger in the heart of amateur athletics.”

Republicans at the time also questioned how it would impact smaller schools, whether bigger name players would have an advantage and whether endorsements could be performance-based.

But Welch responded in floor debate, saying smallschool athletes could pair with local businesses, entire teams could be sponsored and players’ contracts with their schools would address performance-based incentives.

He also said he was open to follow-up legislation.

St. Mary’s School places second in Junior Olympiad St. Mary School seventh and eighth grade classes competed in the Gifted Olympiad Competition on Monday, Feb. 10. The team, pictured from left to right, Abby Johnes, Delani Klaas, Emma Hoemmen and Cheyenne Brundies, won second place. Thirty-six teams met at the Crossroads Community Church in Brighton. Teams participated in STEM and unique activities. As a team, students used two file folders, two pieces of paper, tape and a paper plate to design a tower sturdy enough to hold a cup of water.

They designed a device with rubber bands and string to lift and stack blocks and cups. Together, they raced to balance and roll balls using rain gutters to a basket at the other end of the room. They were not allowed to drop the ball or use their hands.

25 Years Ago March 1, 1995 Alfred L. Pezman, Circuit Judge of Calhoun County, has announced that he has formally submitted his letter of retirement to the Illinois Supreme Court to be effective at close of business on July 31, 1995.

Judge Pezman as served Calhoun County as its Resident Circuit Judge since 1973.

Appointed by the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy of Judge Paul Durr, he was elected to the same position by the good people of Calhoun County, effective Dec. 1, 1974 and was retained in office in 1980, 1986 and 1992.

Pezman practiced law privately for 28 years in Brown and Adams Counties, serving as State’s Attorney in Brown County from 1952 through 1956. The Circuit Judges of the Eighth Judicial Circuit appointed him Associate Circuit Judge effective Dec. 1, 1971. During his two years as an Associate Judge he often served in Calhoun County as a backup for Judge Paul Durr and became interested in the position upon Judge Durr’s retirement.

Judge Pezman said that his current term in office would end Dec. 1, 1998 and that the balance of his term would be served by an qualified person who either receives an appointment during the year

1995 from the Supreme Court or is elected by the people in 1996. Pezman said his plans for future activity would give him more time for doing the research and reading that he enjoys.

50 Years Ago February 26, 1970 The Reading room, sponsored by the Hardin Woman’s Club, is open for public use. It is located on the second floor of the Roth Building. he Bookmobile from the Lewis and Clark Library System delivered books, records and paintings for the reading room Feb. 19.

75 Years Ago March 1, 1945 Mrs. Grace Garcelon has received the New Testament that saved the life of her son, Buddy Garcelon, who was wounded in fighting in Italy last summer. Buddy was car-

rying the Bible in his shirt pocket over his heart when the bullet hit him. The bullet passed all the way through the Bible and wounded buddy, but not seriously and he is now back fighting again. Mrs. Garcelon said the Bible saved her son’s life and that it will also save the lives of everyone who accepts its teachings.

100 Years Ago February 26, 1920 We received a three dollar check one day last week from the K-S Battery Service Station of Alton, requesting us to send the News to this station. In the same letter was copy for an ad which appears elsewhere in this paper and which we invite our readers to read. K-S stands for Kamp & Skeel, Arthur Kamp and Clarence Skeel, two bright young men formerly of Kampsville, being sons of J. A. Kamp and Dr. W. A. Skeel, influential men of Kampsville. The boys have been away to school for some time studying the battery profession and have now graduated from this study and have opened up a Battery Service Station at Alton, being an official service station fro this district. Automobile owners in Calhoun county will be pleased to know that they represent the Prest-O-Lite Co. They are reliable young men and are quite well known in Calhoun county and they colicit trade from the Kingdom.

Attention brought to Eating Disorders Awareness Week Â&#x2021; $UH \RX KXQJU\ EXW afraid to eat? Â&#x2021; 'R \RX WDNH D VPDOO amount of food, cut it into smaller pieces, and spread it around your plate so it looks like a lot? Â&#x2021; 'R \RX ILOO XS RQ water and other no-cal liquids instead of eating solid foods? Â&#x2021; $UH \RX ZHDULQJ double layers of bulky clothes so others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice how thin you are getting?

These are some of the signs of the eating disorder known as Anorexia Nervosa.

Feb. 23 to 29 has been designated as national Eating Disorders Awareness Week. The goal of this special time is to shine the spotlight on eating disorders, while fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorders. The 2020 theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come As You Are: Hindsight is 20/20.â&#x20AC;? It reminds us to reach out

with encouragement to people at all stages of body acceptance. Just be yourself and Come As You Are. We love the sound of your laugh. We love the person you are within. Just Come As You Are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not as you think someone else wants you to be! Hindsight is 20/20.

Reflect on the positive steps you have taken.

You have always made us proud. Victims need the support of friends and family when they are struggling to achieve selfconfidence and a positive body image.

Anorexics develop an exaggerated interest in food, but at the same time, deny hunger and stop eating. A distorted body image makes them feel fat, even as weight loss continues. The anorexic begins to have problems sleeping, shows unusual devotion to schoolwork, and often engages in an unrelenting exercise regimen. Reduced food intake usually causes

weight loss extreme enough to stop menstrual periods in women. Not all anorexics exhibit all symptoms. There are an estimated 30 million people in this country who suffer from eating disorders, and many more who battle food and body image issues. For many years, it was known as a disease that mainly affected young women.

However, doctors now find that teenage boys and men are becoming victims as well. Early detection is vital for successful recovery. Competent treatment for any eating disorder is often hard to find, and many times denied or limited by insurance companies.

For information and support, call ANAD in Chicago at 630-5771330, or visit their website at www.anad.org.

The Information and Referral Helpline at the Nation Eating Disorders Association is 800-9312237.

Angela Johnes Scholarship applications now available The Angela Johnes Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1997 in memory of an eating disorders victim.

The committee strives to bring awareness of eating disorders to the community, as well as continue a memorial that provides financial aid to a graduating senior of Brussels High School. Appli-

cations for the 2020 Angela Johnes Memorial Scholarship are now available at the office of Guidance Counselor Kay Gilbreth. BHS seniors are invited to complete an application, and return it to Mrs. Gilbreth no later that noon on March 13. The winner will be announced at graduation.
