Brussels revisits school closure policy by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels School Board reviewed its school closure policy during a Jan. 28 meeting in the wake of an avalanche of school closings. Superintendent Mark Martin said he brought the issue to the board a year ago when weather was much more mild than it is this year.

But those in high school, specifically those new to driving, are also at risk driving to school in the icy or snowy conditions. Martin said student safety is of the highest importance; closing or delaying school is sometimes the best decision to ensure students won’t be put in dangerous situations. Also in regards to snow, the board approved Nolte Lawn Care to remove

“I wanted to make sure we were still all on the same page,” Martin said, adding he was most concerned about windchill factors at that time. “They all agreed any time the wind chill factor goes below zero, school should be cancelled.” The school district has used up all its emergency days for the year and must apply for Act of God days through the regional office of education, like many other districts in the area. The board agreed its decision to close schools when the wind chill reaches below zero was the correct one, though Martin said some members of the board were split on the issue compared to last year. Martin said his main concern in the cold is the younger students who may not be as prepared for winter as older ones. “Some of them live way out. Little ones are not always real careful about zipping their coats or getting their gloves. They don’t realize in bad weather you can be hurt in a fairly short period of time,” Martin said.

snow on district property. During its regular meeting in December, the school board approved to use Nolte Lawn Care on a temporary basis while it searched for bids. Martin Nolte Lawn Care was the only bidder. Payments for snow removal are on a removal basis with prices depending on the depth of snow. Snow between two to four inches deep will net a cost of $350, four to eight inches is $425 and from eight to 12 inches is $500. Martin said those costs include salting walkways. In other business, the board: n Approved the change of the graduation date to May 24 for high school seniors. n Discussed seeking a consultant to determine ways to save energy in the gymnasium, which is heated with fuel oil. n Recognized Haley Rose for becoming a Daughter of the American Revolution and Baylee Kiel for her performance in the Lady Spartan Classic in which she averaged 22 points per game.

The area was covered in snow last week followed by freezing temperatures, leading to more school closures and delays. Temperatures are expected to rise through the rest of the week, according to Weather.com.

River traffic hamstrung by ice by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Consistent freezing temperatures are disrupting the flow of river traffic along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. Mike Petersen, Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) chief of public affairs, said locks and dams along major waterways imposed width restrictions for vessels intending to pass through them. “It’s a weird time for traffic,” Petersen said. “We’ve been dealing with a lot of issues as far as ice goes. It just slows things down.” He said some barges are making their way up and down the river with

the help of tow boats, but restrictions on width at locks and dams hamper the towing of many large crafts. Lieutenant Colin Fogarty of the U.S. Coast Guard Upper Mississippi division, which also overseas the Illinois River, said the cold weather has slowed traffic even when it is moving. He said one barge carries the same load as approximately 58 semi-trucks, and most tows push as many as 15 barges. When a barge cannot move, its contents are often offloaded into trucks which then distribute the cargo. Salt used for roads is shipped on the large vessels traversing the Mississippi River, he added, and with the width restrictions on locks and

dams, fulfilling the quantities needed in certain areas has been difficult. Local salt supplies, however, haven’t been affected. Calhoun County Engineer Barry Webster said his county has enough salt on hand to handle three more storms, though another 150 tons is on order. Although it can be ordered, he said getting the salt is another question, entirely. “We go on the state purchased bid,” Webster said. “We’ve got 150 tons that we can take. Of course, being able to get it, that may be another problem.” Jersey County has a stockpile of salt to use for roads as well, Jersey (See, traffic, A2)

U.S. Farm Bill fuels crop insurance program

by bOb CROSSEN Campbell Publications A new farm bill signed by President Barack Obama enhances crop insurance for farmers while cutting direct payments to save approximately $16.6 billion over 10 years. Local farmers and Farm Bureau managers are glad to see the five-year bill enacted after years of struggles held up by arguments surrounding cuts to food stamps. But federal crop insurance is on the forefront of local farmers’ minds. Stephanie Knittel, Jersey and Greene Farm Bureau manager, said her offices are still reading through the lengthy bill to get a deeper understanding of its impacts. “I don’t know if the public necessarily will see a lot of change. It’s basically the agriculture sector and producers having to re-evaluate their decisions on what’s going to best serve them,” Knittel said. The five-year bill has been a focus of the agriculture industry for several years. Several drafts have failed, but the most recent itera-

tion – coming from the Farm Bill Conference Committee of which U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) was the only Illinois representation – gained bipartisan approval. Though grain farmers will feel the bill the most, if it had not passed, dairy farmers warned the country about massive spikes in prices for milk and cheese. Subsidies for milk were set to expire if the bill were not passed, and milk producers also worried about regulations limiting their subsidies if they produced an excess of milk. Instead, the legislation limits subsidized insurance for those who cause prices to drop because too much milk is produced. Doris Egelhoff, Jersey County dairy farmer for 40 years, said the dairy business has gotten much more difficult for small operations, especially during this freezing winter. “This cold is ruining a lot of cows for me. That’s for sure,” Egelhoff said. The nearly 79-year-old dairy farmer said many things can impact the price of milk – somatic cells and bacteria count – but the drastic

swings in temperature have made it difficult on the livestock and farmers in the milking process. During a drought in the summer of 2012 Egelhoff worried about the cost of feeding her animals. The newly ratified farm bill offers insurance to pay dairy farmers when the difference between the price of milk and the cost of feed is too narrow to sustain a business. But the farm bill also affects crop farmers as it repealed direct payments farmers would receive even during the better harvest years. By cutting the costs in direct payments, more money was put towards the crop insurance program offered through the bill to help farmers when their crops are lost or damaged. “We needed crop insurance. We haven’t gotten direct payments for a while,” Robert Reed, Calhoun County Farm Bureau president, said. “We’ve been fighting for a long time to get this. We’ve been fighting for a long time to get a farm bill.” Producers may also supplement the insurance through the bill with private insurance, and the federal crop insurance program will cover up to

65 percent of insurance premiums. Steve Albrecht, Greene County farmer and Farm Bureau board president, said the repeal of direct payments will have an impact on farmers, but most producers in the area had already planned on the loss of that program, opting for better insurance. “They were willing to give that up in turn to hopefully keep crop insurance,” Albrecht said, adding the change is a fair trade. He said farmers needed more help in years when their harvests are lost because of the large investments they made to put seeds in the ground. Without coverage, planting the following season would be an even greater financial burden. Knittel said farmers will have to make a decision on which type of insurance will be best for the size of their farm and what they intend to plant. She said the insurance program is used as a risk management tool rather than a way to earn taxpayer dollars. “They have to choose what’s going to be best (See, farm bill, A2)

by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Commissioners approved an amendment to the county liquor license during a regular meeting Feb. 6 by adding two additional A and D licenses to accommodate sitting applications. The commissioners approved a new liquor ordinance last June, codifying all amendments made to the original ordinance since its creation in 1967. The need for an updated ordinance adopted last summer was fueled by local churches’ desires to sell liquor at their annual picnics. Stone Bridge Valley Art Center in Michael, owned and operated by Linda Basden, and Point Pleasant in Golden Eagle, owned and operated by Alex Schulte, are two applications on file for A and D licenses, which are awarded as a combination allowing the sale of package beer and wine in addition to sale for consumption on location. State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen said the commissioners have the authority to amend the ordinance as needed, noting adding licenses does not increase the number of people drinking alcohol in the county. “When you open another bar, it doesn’t necessarily mean more drinkers, it just means the busiC

ness is split between more people,” Ringhausen said. Schulte expressed interest in a license allowing the sale of package beer from Point Pleasant in Golden Eagle. The license owned by the restaurant allows the sale of beer or wine for immediate consumption and by the bottle to be taken off the premises. Commissioner Gene Breden said offering Schulte the combination license would free up the wine license he holds and motioned to add the two new licenses. Although there are applications on file, before the licenses may be granted, the ordinance must sit for inspection for 30 days after its publication. After adoption of the ordinance last June, Basden approached the board seeking a beer and wine license to host an art festival at the center’s location this summer. Only one wine and beer license – which required a meal with the sale of alcohol – was awarded with the liquor ordinance, but it was held by the Golden Eagle Country Store, and the commissioners showed hesitation in changing the ordinance so soon after its adoption. Additionally, the commissioners discussed how to address pasture leases for property owned by the county. State’s Attorney Rick

Ringhausen brought the issue to the board last year, noting the leases expire at the end of the calendar year and felt some should be leased with a price tag. The leases have been free to those who have them and the lease holder must also maintain the property by cutting grass, though no permanent structures can be placed on them. Wilschetz said gravel can be poured on them to be used for parking, or an individual could park a mobile trailer on it, so long as it can be removed later. The commissioners approved to hold a bid for pasture leases not currently leased. Those already in possession of a lease will keep that contract on a renewal basis. Contracts are three years in length. In other business, the commissioners: n Approved to apply for a grant to be used in the courthouse renovation project. n Approved to send a letter of support on behalf of the Calhoun Ferry Company for a chance at a grant to be used for a new ferry engine. n Tabled approval of matching fund allocations for a new squad car in the sheriff’s office until the next regular meeting when exact figures may be presented.

Traffic

(Continued from A1) County Engineer Tom Klasner said, noting he ordered salt prior to the most recent storm and has received it. The Jersey engineer said he doesn’t expect a need to order more if the weather warms as March and April approach. But, other areas are in need of the salt and other supplies usually transported on the barges. Petersen said lock chambers such as Chain of Rocks Lock and Dam only allow through vessels that are 105 feet wide. He said ice builds on the sides of the locks constricting the space, but has not brought traffic to a halt. “It’s a challenge, but it hasn’t brought anything to a standstill, yet,” Petersen said. Sections of the rivers busy with traffic are less likely to freeze over, Petersen added, noting the constant motion of the water breaks any forming ice before it becomes too thick. “It usually does keep traffic

moving,” Petersen said, “but as you get further north [of St. Louis], slower flows, colder temperatures, thing like that, they can freeze things up, but usually a barge in motion isn’t going to get stuck out there.” The freezing river has caused issues with ferries operated by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) which have been closed since the beginning of the year. The ice impedes the ferry’s ability to dock its barge flush against the landing to allow safe passage on and off the boats. The ferries, however, do undergo regular maintenance even while docked. The motors are also turned on in order to churn ice away from the hull so the ferries aren’t pushed into the middle of the river. IDOT officials said the department would reopen the ferries before the projected March 1 opening date, if the weather and river allows for it.

Farm bill (Continued from A1) for them and pay for it,” Knittel said. “That can be thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in a year.” She said farmers have been using crop insurance for years to protect themselves and to quash dependency on the direct payments offered by the federal government. She said if the bill had not been passed and signed into law, the government would have reverted back to permanent law dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. Reverting to those laws could have had a significant impact on the industry. “Farming drastically changes in five years, let alone that many,” Knittel said, noting it was definitely time to get a bill passed. “It’s something Farm Bureaus have worked on for years, and many other organizations as well.” According to a Congressional Budget Office report from Jan. 28 regarding the farm bill, of the $956 billion cost of the bill, $756 billion is used for nutrition programs. But the bill also cuts around $8

billion in the next decade from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), in most part by cutting out a loophole offered in a third of the country’s states. Part of an application for SNAP would request information about utility bills for which the applicant could be given assistance. To receive the assistance proof of the bill must be shown, and one of the methods of proof is enrollment in other assistance programs, most notably the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Some states would enroll SNAP participants in LIHEAP – for assistance as low as $1 – to enter the SNAP energy assistance program, where the federal government would foot a bill. The new farm bill requires assistance from SNAP may only occur if participants receive $20 of assistance from LIHEAP or other similar programs. The Congressional Budget Office expects the cut will affect around four percent of SNAP participants, or approximately 850,000 households across the country.

■ Blessings from Belleview by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012

It is hard to believe that on Feb. 12, marked two years to the day that I preached my trial sermon at Belleview Community Church. In 2012, it fell on the second Sunday of February and that weekend proved to be one of the coldest weekends of that particularly mild winter. What a weekend as we sought to recover from the ice storm from the previous weekend and the snow storm that occurred on Tuesday. We had cancelled church the previous weekend as I fell a total of six times inspecting the parking lot. I did not want to put anyone in harm’s way as our parking lot was covered with more than ½ inch of ice. What a wonderful blessing for us folks at BCC as we had a family of five visit with us. We have a few special days to recognize and celebrate. On February 3rd, Wilma Reynolds celebrated her birthday. On February 10, Josiah Mikuleza celebrated his birthday and his mother Mary celebrates her birthday on February 15. Happy birthday to all three of them. This past Sunday parked the first Sunday of a series of message entitled “Love: A More Excellent Way”. The pastor will be bringing part two this Sunday (Feb. 16). The idea of love has been rebranded so many times that we need to get back to what it really means. Come join us for this excellent series. I also have available “What is Christianity?” for free. You can contact me by phone or email (pastor.chris@hotmail.com). I watched the Jonah White spe-

cial on Discovery. I was amazed after first moving here to discover that I am in the home county of Billy Bob Teeth. I still remember a few months back visiting a home in Kampsville with the Billy Bob Teeth welcome mat. Billy Bob Teeth has a special memory for me. My wife is from Canada and I am from North Carolina. She was in Champaign and I was in Peoria when we met. Thanks to the fellows of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, people of the south have developed a certain reputation. For instance, while working for a company contracted by Caterpillar, a group of foreign executives toured the factory. A lady from New Zealand noticed my accent was different than most of the others and asked where I was from. The question and answer session that should have been about what I do turned into a question and answer session about where I am from. They seemed fascinated. Everything was fine until the executive from Australia asked me if it was true that people from the south marry within the family. I grinned as I looked at her only to be stunned that she was serious. I quickly responded, if you were my cousin, we would be going out tonight. Thankfully I kept my job. Now let’s get back to the Billy Bob Teeth. When I first met April’s family, I went with her to the train station to welcome them. I patiently waited until their train arrived and I grinned as soon as April pointed them out. I walked straight to her father, extended my hands

Love Margaret Rorke Love is a nod from across the room. Love is a knowing wink. Love is a laugh from my heart’s full bloom. Love is a pause to think Selflessly, wholly, of what it shares. Threaded by a man and wife, Quietly weaving till unaware, Love is the whole of life. Love is an arm to support an arm. Love wipes away a tear. Love speaks of love with special charm. Love is a listening ear. Love is the squeeze of a gentle hand Saying what words can’t say. Knowing such love makes one understand God in a wiser way.

Snow is a remarkable thing. Of all the snow that fell on that Tuesday here in Calhoun County, it is said that no two snowflakes are alike. What an amazing fact! As I have met many people throughout the county, I have discovered that everyone I have met is different in one way or another. Too often we become guilty of trying to be someone we are not, maybe to impress the person on the other end of the conversation (My father-inlaw was not impressed. HA!). I have shared this particular thought throughout my 17 years as a youth pastor. You have been created and designed to be “Younique” so just be you. In doing so, it saves us from a world of trouble. There is nothing wrong with the way you have been made. As a preacher once said “God does not say ‘oops.’” I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:14)

Happy third birthday to our great granddaughter Charlotte, next Saturday we will be attending her party. Happy happy Gwen Burch. Had to have my prep for more radiation last Wednesday at Barnes in St. Louis. The weather was so horrible, as you all probably know, that we left at 5:30 a.m. to be there at 10 a.m. We arrived at Barnes at 8:30 a.m. for 10 a.m. blood work and noon prep. Got blood work done immediately, but had to wait until almost 2 p.m. for my prep. Since this is my second round of radiation, the preparation took much longer, and hurt a little more. Nurse told me, at first, to go home and not do anything much for three or four days, and before we left she had stretched it to a week. Poor Redeye said he sat in one chair for three hours waiting on me. Normally

Becky would have been waiting with him, but weather was too bad. He has been waiting on me hand and foot, and cooking up a storm. We did eat out a couple times. Friday afternoon I went to the Office for a couple hours to get the Gas Tax forms ready to send to Collinsville. Got all 2013 info entered on the forms, and added six times - my numbers on calculator were the same, but total on form in computer did not agree, and there was no way to change it, so I ran three of the calculator totals and stapled to form with a note that their program was wrong. Snow Bird, Mark Becker, did his magic last week. So thankful to have someone help us with this, and Redeye doesn’t have to. Junior Snow Bird,

Chuckie VanVleet, helped Mark when necessary. Unfortunately, I have to remind those of you who have not paid your water/sewer bills, that it is time to do so. Winter brings a lot of bills for everyone, including the Village of Kampsville. Those who have not paid in three months or longer must pay at least half by the 15th of this month or service will have to be cutoff. The Village, like all of you, has to pay our bills, and we cannot do this if you do not pay us. Just come in and talk with us, we will work with you, but if you ignore us, you lose your water/sewer. And how was your week??? See you next week, hopefully.

‘We Will Rock You’ opens March 18 at the Fox The worldwide smash hit ‘rock theatrical,’ Queen and Ben Elton’s “We Will Rock You,” built around 24 of Queen’s biggest hits, opens at the Fabulous Fox Theatre March 18. Performances of “We Will Rock You” at the Fabulous Fox Theatre run March 18 - 30. Show times are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. Performances are also scheduled on Saturdays at 2 p.m. and Sundays at 1 p.m. There will be an evening performance on Sunday, March 23 at 6:30 p.m. and a matinee on Thursday, March 27 at 1 p.m. Tickets are available online at MetroTix.com, by calling (314) 534-1111 or in person at the Fox Theatre Box Office. Ticket prices start at $25. Prices are subject to change; refer to FabulousFox.com for current pricing. This hilarious,

multi-award-winning and recordbreaking phenomenon is created by celebrated British comedian and writer Ben Elton (TV’s “Mr. Bean” and “The Young Ones”), and boasts a fantastic score of Queen’s biggest songs including “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “We Are The Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and, of course, “We Will Rock You.” “We Will Rock You” takes place in a future age on a planet once called Earth that is now controlled by a mighty corporation. Globalization is complete. Individuality is taboo. Everyone watches the same movies, wears the same clothes and thinks the same thoughts. Music is generated by the corporation’s computers, rock

music is unheard and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance – an alliance of rebel Bohemians, waiting for a hero to lead the battle to bring the power of rock back to the people. “This show is all about legend,” says Ben Elton. “We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the mighty corporation who wants to suppress their individuality and their love of music. They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we have two – the dreamer Galileo, and the sassy rock chick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?” For more information about “We Will Rock You,” please visit wewillrockyou.com and schoolswillrockyou.com.

JERSEYVILLE, IL

A year ago today it was decided by a higher authority that it was your turn to go through those pearly gates. This past year has been quite the challenge but I have managed not to destroy too much and with the help of two great boys, family and friends, I have survived. I decided to share with everyone the best memories we have of Jim as written by our son John. “I wrote this a couple of nights ago, but after last night I wasn’t sure I even needed to read this after I heard everyone’s stories and what you knew about Jim, however… Whether you knew him as Jim, James, Uncle Zimmy, Mac, or Irish…there are a few things that you may not have known. That he was born in the same room where he slept for the past 30+ years, or that he had a herd of turtles as a child when he lived in Kampsville…yes turtles. Or that he ran away from the nuns at school and hid in the cemetery, which happened more than once. Or that he attended every school in the county and in St. Louis. Ok, it wasn’t all of them, but it was quite a few. Almost never without the ingredients to make a Manhattan. Gave mom the same perfume every year, and had exquisite handwriting. His main hobbies were electronics from CB radios to stereo systems, model trains, fishing, and the orchard. He loved eagles, and Formula 1 or open wheel racing, not NASCAR. He was a transportation guy. A REAL planes, trains, and automobiles…even boats. One of his earliest modes of transportation was the bicycle. Without a bicycle he would have never made it down JAMES CHARLES to Brussels from Kampsville for the Brussels picnic in 1972. That’s where he met a young girl dipping out ice cream MACAULEY cones, his future bride. He would often introduce mom to people as “This is my bride, Yvonne.” There was something about him that my mom found interesting in him that day, but her acquaintances tried to persuade her not to get involved with him…as I guess his reputation preceded him. That night he slept in the rear pew of church. Cars. Too numerous to count (Corvette, Charger, VW bug, and trucks). He raced them with many trophies to his credit, he wrecked them, and he bought more of them. New tractors and other equipment. His toys. He was a kid when it came to those things, whether it was mowing, moving snow and rock, or splitting wood. In many cases it took more energy and time to go get one of these toys then to do the job by hand, but that ‘s what he liked to do. Any mowing…a little tornado of grass clippings. It’s hard to believe how many sets of mower blades he wore out. All these toys led to a constant and inevitable action. It didn’t matter what we had planned or what events we had scheduled for the day it never failed that an hour or two before we had to leave he had to go do something. We would all be dressed and ready to go to the event and mom would ask, “Where’s your father.” We’d open the door and listen. He was out mowing, spraying, you name it. He just had to go out and do something that could actually wait until we returned or do next week. “He’s just like his father”, mom would say. He worked at McDonnell Douglas for 20+ years, working with various plane and missile systems. He was laid off, and a year to the day he started with Bi-State working as a contract supervisor for the light rail train. He said getting laid off was the best thing that could have happened. He was out and about, and interacting with people. He was with Bi-State for 10+ years. He worked on the ferryboat up in Kampsville, in his old stomping grounds virtually in the shadows of his parents’ restaurant and house. He saw lots of familiar faces, and it gave him the opportunity to yet again socialize with people. That job didn’t last, but just as before it turned out for the best. He started driving students in vans and buses for the school system. The Happy Bus he called it. It was the lowest paying of his jobs, but it was the job he got the most enjoyment from. He loved driving that bus, and interacting with the kids. When he got involved with something, and he had his mind set on what he was going to do…it was too late. You couldn’t change his mind, and you couldn’t tell him “no”. You could try to tell him “no”, but it was a waste of energy, an exercise in futility. As a kid I often wondered why my mother never told him no. What I didn’t realize is that she already had 20 years of experience trying this. He would also rationalize his decision to Brad and I by saying it was for mom. For example, “Dad, why do you need a car with 380 horsepower?” Dad would reply, “It’s for your mother, she needs a new car.” Many a car and tractor appeared at the house, surprising my mother. Many times she would first know of it as it was coming up the driveway. He was always willing to help, but was sure to be the one doing the work. Whether it was something that needed a tractor or a torch, he was going to be the operator. This usually left someone else, usually Brad or I, either reading the directions or holding a flashlight. He loved this community, and he love to talk to people. He had the gift of gab. Someone said last night “We need more people like Jim that go around talking to everybody…there isn’t anybody like that.” It didn’t matter if you were family, friends, or strangers. He was curious, and would break the ice with strangers with saying “I’m just nosey.” He was concerned, wanting to know what was going on or how someone or their family member was doing. He made a lot of friends with his talking. What did all this talking eventually lead to…Aggravation. Once he knew you, it was too late. That grin of his would come out usually preceded or followed with some sort of aggravation. He wasn’t subtle about it either. If he appreciated you, you can guarantee he was going to aggravate you a little. It was his term of endearment. In closing I think the picnics will be a little quieter. Gone are his familiar cries of “Hot Fish Here” from the fish stand on Saturdays and the constant whistling from the chicken stand on Sunday. No more floured handprints on your rear ends. From the beginning to the end he did things his way. I’d also like to think that Jim made all our lives more enjoyable, and our skin a little thicker. Thank you.”

Smoke Free Act celebrates six years of clearing the air By ROBERT LYONS Calhoun News-Herald The Smoke Free Illinois Act was designed to help non-smokers breathe a little easier out in public, and the proof of its effectiveness is in the statistics. In 2008 Illinois became the 13th state to adopt a ban on smoking in public buildings. According to a Jersey County Health Department health educator, Christine Smith, the benefits are far reaching. One of the primary concerns when the Smoke Free Illinois Act (SFIA) was implemented was how bar and restaurant owners would retain smoking patrons. “It hasn’t had any negative impact on the bars or the restaurants because they can just go outside and have their cigarette,” Smith said. “But, for those who do not smoke, they can enjoy the bars or restaurants just as much without having to suffer through the secondhand smoke.”

Information from the SFIA website claims secondhand smoke – the burning tobacco product and the exhaled smoke from the smoker – contains more than 50 cancer-causing chemicals. “I think it’s absolutely wonderful that I can go out to a restaurant and enjoy a meal with my husband and my child without having to smell the smoke,” Smith said. “When you go to another state and have to smell that, it really makes you thankful for a smokefree Illinois.” A 2006 Surgeon General report estimated 50,000 people a year were dying from secondhand smoke related illnesses. Since the implementation of the SFIA, mortality rates for heart and lung diseases have declined significantly. Jersey County seems to have taken the SFIA seriously, with just two complaints of smoking in public areas coming into the Health Department in the past two years. “Usually we’ll issue them a

paper that says ‘we’ve had a complaint and this is what happens if you fail to comply.’ Really, we don’t have anyone who’s had problems after that first complaint,” Smith said. “It hasn’t been a huge issue in our county. But, whether that’s because people aren’t reporting it, I honestly don’t know.” Not only has tobacco use in public areas been all but eliminated, many more individuals have taken steps to quit smoking since the SFIA’s adoption. The SFIA website reports the percentage of Illinoisans who smoked dropped from 23.6 in 2003 to 18.6 in 2012. “I know the number of phone calls to the quit line went up with the Smoke Free Illinois Act, because everyone is wanting to quit if they can’t smoke indoors,” Smith said. To report a violation of the SFIA, call 866-973-4646 or visit smoke-free.illinois.gov. To reach the Illinois Tobacco Quitline, call 866-784-8937.

What you don’t know about pain can hurt you You may not like it, but when you feel pain, your body is trying to tell you something. In most cases, it’s to stop what you’re doing. (“Ouch, that stove is hot!”) That’s why some pain is necessary and can prevent us from seriously injuring ourselves. But, at times, pain also can be intolerable, becoming constant and negatively impacting your quality of life. “Understandably people want to alleviate their pain,” says Jane C.K. Fitch, M.D., president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). “Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief from minor pain such as headaches and muscle aches. But in many cases, the reasons for and extent of pain are complex and there’s more to safe pain control than popping a pill.” If you or a loved one suffers from chronic pain, it’s important to learn the best way to treat it, according to ASA. Here are some things you should know about

pain: n Address pain when you first feel it: Acute pain is the type you feel after cutting your finger or breaking a bone. It hurts but eventually the pain goes away. When pain doesn’t subside and lasts for several months, it can be considered chronic. Unfortunately, acute pain - such as from surgery - can become chronic if it’s not treated correctly by physicians because the nerves may be injured or become hypersensitive to the stimuli causing the pain. n Chronic pain is common: About 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, which can seriously interfere with their quality of life, according to the Institute of Medicine. The most common sources of chronic pain are headaches, back pain and arthritis pain in the joints, such as knees and hips. n Pills are not always the right solution: If you are someone suffering from chronic pain, there

are many alternatives beyond traditional oral pain medication to provide you with relief. Serious pain sometimes may be alleviated or minimized by injections or appropriate use of medication(s). In addition, other non-medication methods can help alleviate pain, such as acupuncture, physical therapy, psychological therapy and electrical stimulation - which short circuits pain by stimulating nerve fibers either through the skin or, in some cases, via an implanted device in the spine (and no, it’s not painful). The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) recently released a list of specific tests or procedures related to pain medicine that are commonly ordered but not always necessary as part of Choosing Wisely, an initiative of the ABIM Foundation. The list identifies five targeted, evidencebased recommendations that can support conversations between patients and physicians about

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit.” Psalm 103:2-4

Bacterial infections, cancer cells, and pests all have something in common, besides the fact that they are all seen as hostile to human life and our interests, and that is that all of them have the tendency to develop resistance, to antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and to pesticides, respectively. This is a result of the fact that they all evolve rapidly, mutating and thus changing so rapidly that the original weapon used against them no longer works for that purpose. Mutation, and thus evolution, seems built into the very fabric of nature as a protective mechanism. It may seem odd to say that cancer is somehow built into the fabric of life, but that seems to be the upshot of oncogenes, which are abundant in nature. What allows life to adapt and change rapidly, thus protecting our species from toxins and infectious agents is also what makes us prone to cancer. Life is resilient, and not easily vanquished, just like cancer, the common cold, and the cockroach. But don't be too quick to lament that fact, for what makes it hard to annihilate cancer is also what makes it hard to annihilate us. – Christopher Simon

SPORTS Lady Warriors repeat as WIVC champs Calhoun News-Herald

Wednesday, February 12, 2014 Hardin, Illinois

SAM ELLIoTT Calhoun News-Herald One day before embarking on what they hope is a long playoff push, the Calhoun High School Lady Warriors clinched at least a share of their second Western Illinois Valley Conference championship in as many seasons with a 54-39 win against West Central Monday at Calhoun Elementary School. "We stressed it coming into this game, we ran the table in the conference 8-0 last year and we're 7-0 now this year," Lady Warriors head coach Aaron Baalman said. "Being 15-0 [through two seasons] in the WIVC, not many teams have done that. West Central did it a few years ago and they've got a great program." But the Lady Cougars didn't have a means of stopping Grace Baalman Monday. The Calhoun freshman scored a game-high 25 points on 50-percent shooting from the field and 9-of-10 shooting from the free-throw line. While three of the Lady Warriors' usual starters found themselves in first-half foul trouble, Calhoun's 6-foot-2 freshman played the vast majority of the contest and added a game-best 18 rebounds to help her team outrebound West Central 46-22. "Grace does such a great job," coach Baalman said. "She's an excellent defender and she knows we've got to keep her on the floor. She's just a heck of a ballplayer." Playing with a 26-12 lead at halftime, Grace Baalman scored six-straight Calhoun points to begin the third quarter and 14 of the Lady Warriors' 20 in the frame. A 3-pointer by freshman reserve Jordan Holland gave Calhoun its biggest advantage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 35-14 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with 5:21 to play in the third quarter. West Central never got closer than 14 points of the lead the rest of the way. After leading by just a 10-5 margin through the first quarter, the Lady Warriors pulled away to a double-digit lead by closing the second on a 12-1 run in the last 2:46. Sophomore Courtney Holland and senior Courtney Gresham came off the bench to each make a 3-pointer during the run. "Our reserves did a great job [Monday]," coach Baalman said. "We knew they were going to have to knock down some shots to get [West Central] out of that zone. The girls stepped up and did what they needed to do." The Lady Warriors are 23-3 overall this season entering the Hardin Class 1A Regional they're hosting at Calhoun High School. No. 1 seed Calhoun faced No. 4 Bunker Hill in a semifinal matchup Tuesday, but results were not available at press time. The regional title game,

which will also include either No. 2 Carrollton or No. 3 Mount Olive, is at 7 p.m. Thursday at CHS. Regional champions from Hardin and New Athens will meet in a White Hall Class 1A Sectional semifinal at 8 p.m. Monday at North Greene High School. Two of the Lady Warriors three losses this season have come against Civic Memorial. The Class 3A Lady Eagles are 26-2 this season and claimed the Lady Hawk Invitational championship by winning a 63-30 decision when the teams met Saturday at Carrollton High School. Grace Baalman and Emma Baalman shared the tournament's Most Valuable Player honors. It was the second MVP award in back-to-back days for Emma Baalman, who earned the honor after scoring a game-high 33 points in a 68-27 win against Quincy Friday at the KHQA/Subway Shootout at Quincy Notre Dame High School. The victory was Calhoun's 12th in a row. WARRIORS WIN VS. NORTH GREENE Gus Baalman led all scorers with 29 points to help lead the Calhoun High School boys basketball team to a 66-60 win against North Greene Saturday in Hardin. Andrew Sievers added 17 points and Mitchell Bick chipped in 15 for the Warriors, who improved to 11-6 overall this season and 4-2 within the WIVC. selliott@campbellpublications.net

air conditioning. When shopping for a digital thermostat, be sure to purchase one that is compatible with your HVAC system. Otherwise, the thermostat might not work properly. nTurn off the lights (and change the bulbs!). Perhaps the simplest way to conserve energy around the house is to turn off the lights in empty rooms. It's easy for all residents of a home to turn on a light when entering a room, only to leave that room but keep the lights on. But electricity used for lighting can constitute as much as 10 percent of a monthly utility bill. How much of that electricity is being used to illuminate empty rooms? Get in the habit of turning lights off whenever you leave a room. Though the savings here might not be substantial, turning off the lights will help conserve energy. In addition to turning off the lights, be sure to use compact fluorescent light bulbs, or CFLs, instead of traditional incandescent bulbs. CFLs consume less energy, don't give off nearly as much heat as incandescent bulbs and can last as long as 10,000 hours, which is roughly 10 times as long as the best incandescent bulb. n Make use of nature. Homeowners can also employ their landscape to help conserve energy around the house. A strategically planted tree, for example, can shade a room that is exposed to the sun throughout the day. That shade can make it cooler inside the home, allowing residents to stay cool inside without having to rely too heavily on their air conditioning unit. During the winter months, open the curtains during the day to allow sunshine in, naturally adding a few degrees to the home so you won't have to crank the temperature on the thermostat. Homeowners hoping to conserve energy around the house can do so in a number of ways without having to sacrifice comfort or luxury.

STATE OF ILLINOIS IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL COURT CALHOUN COUNTY

How to conserve energy around the house this winter season

Rising fuel costs and a suspect economy has forced many homeowners to look for ways to cut costs around the house. Conserving energy is one way to do just that. And in addition to saving money, conserving energy also helps save the planet. Though preserving energy around the house might sound difficult, it's actually quite easy, and you don't have to sacrifice comfort to conserve. The following are a few ways to conserve energy around the house and help your bottom line and the planet at the same time. n Cool it with the hot water. Heating water for the home accounts for a significant percentage of your monthly utility bill. But many homeowners might not know just how simple it can be to reduce the costs of heating the water. You can trim between 3 to 5 percent off your utility bill for every 10 degrees you dial down the thermostat on your water heater. A water heater set in the range of 130 F won't require as much energy to heat and hold water as one set around 140 F or above, and a setting of 130 F is enough to prevent bacteria from growing within the tank and still provide water that's hot enough for a shower or bath. A water heater set around 130 F might also extend the life of the tank. That's because chemical reactions speed up in tanks that are hotter, accelerating the buildup of rust within the tank. n Install a digital thermostat. A digital thermostat makes it easy for homeowners to automatically turn down their thermostats during times of the day when no one is home. The thermostats can be programmed to turn up the heat shortly before you typically arrive home, so you won't be forced to sit in a cold house when you get home, nor will you be forced to pay to heat a home while no one is there. The thermostat can also be set in the summer to allow the temperature in the home to rise without automatically triggering the

FAMILY FEATURES

or the more than 25 million Americans living with diabetes, food choices are critical to maintaining their health. Chef Sam Talbot, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 12 years old, understands those challenges. But with his new cookbook he proves that diabetics don’t have to sacrifice flavor in order to follow a healthy eating plan. Talbot earned national recognition as the runner-up in Season 2 of Bravo’s hit TV show “Top Chef.” In his new book, “The Sweet Life: Diabetes without Boundaries,” he shares how diabetes has affected — but has not compromised — his life and career, and offers 75 fresh, all-natural recipes that can be enjoyed by both diabetics and non-diabetics.

Cooking to Manage Diabetes

Doctors recommend that people with diabetes follow a healthy, well balanced diet that includes plenty of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables and carbohydrates that rank lower on the glycemic index (GI). (See sidebar for more on the glycemic index.) “Pears are one of my favorite fruits to use in recipes,” says Talbot. “They are a low GI fruit, they’re high in fiber, and the flavor of a ripe pear is just out of this world. They are incredibly versatile in sweet and savory recipes in all types of world cuisines. They can be part of any meal of the day.” The two recipes here are from Talbot’s book, and showcase the fresh, sweet flavor of pears. For more information, visit www.SamTalbot.com, and for additional pear recipes visit www.usapears.org.

The Glycemic Index

The glycemic index (GI) rates carbohydrates on a scale of 1 to 100 based on how rapidly a food item raises blood sugar levels after eating. Foods that rank high on the glycemic index are digested rapidly, which produces marked fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels. Foods with a low glycemic index are digested slowly and raise blood sugar and insulin levels gradually.

One medium pear provides 24 percent of your day’s fiber, and 10 percent of your day’s vitamin C — for only 100 calories.

There are ten different varieties of USA Pears, each with its own color, flavor and texture.

More than 80 percent of the fresh pears grown in the U.S. are from the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon. USA Pears are in season from early fall through early summer.

Yogurt with Pear and Coconut

Check the Neck for Ripeness

Ripeness is the key to enjoying pears at their sweetest and juiciest. To judge a pear’s ripeness, USA Pear growers advise you to “check the neck.” Press the neck, or stem end, of the pear. If it yields to gentle pressure, it’s ripe, sweet and juicy. If it feels firm, simply leave the pear at room temperature to ripen within a few days. Don’t refrigerate your pears unless you want to slow their ripening.
