Engineering grant moves toward mapping updates Bob Crossen Calhoun News-Herald Paperwork for a $200,000 engineering grant through the Community Development Assistance Project has been processed through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The Hardin village must match $50,000 of the grant, which will be used for updates to the village’s water system, most notably old waterlines stretching through town. During a regular meeting June 2, Andy Vecellio, Bartlett and West representative, said one of the major parts of the project is the design and update of water maps. He said the village supplied the grant administrator with a copy of the most recent map, which was last updated in 1953. “Obviously there is some missing information there,” Vecellio said, “so we’re looking to get some assistance from you to get that as updated and accurate as you can.” He said more up-to-date information will be required to better analyze what parts of the village will need more attention than others. Public Works Director Jerry Rose said he would hand draw maps on top of aerial photos of the city to showcase where some of the missing lines are. The village also dealt with a zoning ordinance problem brought to the trustees by Gene Breden. Breden said there is a mobile home in Hardin that does not have a permanent foundation. “It has concrete pads poured on the ground with cinderblocks holding it up,” Breden said. “There is no kind of cover around the outside or anything.” The trustees agreed that the zoning ordinance should be enforced in this matter, meaning a more permanent solution to the foundation must be made.

Breden said enforcement of the zoning ordinance also causes other troubles because it requires nothing be constructed within 30 feet of the road, conflicting with some decks built onto houses in Hardin. Mayor Matt Haug said the zoning board should be tasked with looking into that issue and decide if a simple variance would be effective in solving the problem or if a change to the zoning ordinance is necessary, The zoning board of appeals includes Bob Ellis, Ed Wickenhauser and Eric Kallal, and Haug said the village will need to appoint a new board because some of the members are no longer able to conduct business on the board due to conflicts of interest or residency. No action was taken on appointing members to the zoning board, but Breden said he would send a letter to the mobile home without a permanent foundation as per the zoning ordinance’s process. Additionally, Barb Burris, Hardin resident, requested the village review the wording of its water ordinance regarding a deposit for the water. She said she recently moved from one end of town to the other and was told she would have to pay a $100 deposit for her water. She said she has paid water bills in the village for nearly 40 years, which should exempt her from paying a deposit for which she has already paid. She said nobody was tasked with turning the water off at the old house or to turn the water on at the new house, which is an expense the deposit is often used to cover. City Attorney Charles H.W. Burch said the ordinance can be amended to adopt a change. The board did not take action on the issue Monday, but said it was under consideration.

By bob crossen Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin Village Board of Trustees approved the resignation of Charles H.W. Burch, village attorney, during a regular meeting June 2. In his resignation letter to the village, he regretfully resigned because the Illinois Supreme Court appointed him to be the resident circuit judge effective July 7. Burch will be filling a vacancy left by Judge Richard Greenlief. Greenlief announced his retirement from the position of circuit judge last fall, noting he would finish out the rest of his elected term. Since that time, he accelerated his retirement date and passed the word along to the Illinois Supreme Court, which appointed Burch. “I will still be on the ballot in November,” Burch said, “and I’ll still be subject to the election.” Burch bested Democrat Tammy Evans during the primary election in April in a 961 to 507 vote, and does not have a Republican opponent in the November election. of the bridge from Illinois Department of Transportation during the parade. n Approved IDOT to place a flood barrier around a building it owns next to the Hardin Drive-In. n Approved preventative maintenance on the water wells at the water plant for $1,800. n Approved the annual budget which did not change from last year’s budget. n Discussed applying for tornado siren grants and installing a walking bridge in

By Bob Crossen Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels Main Street road project hit a milestone after the Illinois Department of Transportation approved the design plans for the project. The village of Brussels held an informational meeting about the project in January, where residents provided feedback on the project. Dave Godar, project engineer from Sheppard, Morgan and Schwaab, said the next step will be the purchase of easements and right-of-ways. “We’re beginning to work on that step,” Godar said. “That will be the last thing that we need to take care of. Then we can go to what they call a letting, which would be a bid opening.” Getting approval from IDOT is one of the major hurdles in getting the work started, he said, adding the village could seek bids as early as this fall on the project. The letting process would be conducted through the state, he added.

The road project aims to improve the safety of the road, most notably the hill near the Wittmond Hotel, which blinds drivers from oncoming traffic because of its steep nature. In January, Godar said starting at the south end of town and working north is the best way to ensure that more glaring safety issues are dealt with first. In the northern part of the project, the engineers will smooth out the curve near St. Mary Cemetery where there is a kink in the road. Parts of that stretch of road will be reconstructed for safety reasons. During the informational meeting in January, residents raised concerns about placing a sidewalk on both sides of the street. Godar said the project was redesigned to include only one sidewalk as per the public’s suggestion. Members of the public worried two sidewalks would cause parking issues for businesses along the stretch of pavement. To provide additional feedback concerning the project or to learn more, call Godar at 618-8778700.

years ago she started working out of her home, selling silks to her daughter’s friends for prom nights and weddings. Because the focus was so heavily on prom and wedding nights, she said the business’ name, Dream Day Decorating, was the most apt title created by her sister. The store in Hardin will be named Riverside Dreams, and will act as a separate division from the Carrollton store. The extra building will provide the business with more space for its wares, and the shop in Hardin – which will be managed by Lauren Brannan – will also provide tuxedo rentals similar to the Carrollton store. She said the business grew so much that her husband said she had to find a place specifically for the business because it had taken over too much space in the house.

Debbie Winters, owner of Dream Day Decorating in Carrollton, grew up in Kampsville with a fascination for flowers. Though she had worked in a number of flower shops throughout her life, it was her brother, Kenny Keller, that encouraged her to start her own business. “He just said, ‘You know, Sis. Why don’t you just have a place of your own?,’” Winters said. “It was his encouragement that just kept saying ‘You like it. You have fun with it. You do a decent job. You do good. Why don’t you just open one?’” Keller died in a car accident 10 years ago on Mother’s Day, but Winters said she still feels his encouragement on a daily basis. And 10 C

By Bob Crossen Campbell Publications As ownership for mobile homes changes in Illinois, so too may the tax process of those properties. At the beginning of 2011, a law enacted by the state legislature was put into place that required certain mobile homes to adhere to real estate assessment rather than a privilege tax. Prior to the change, mobile homes that were not on a permanent foundation were not assessed as real property, but rather were taxed using a privilege tax, which is typically much lower than general residential tax rates. Those on foundations were treated as real property. Not all mobile homes

were affected by the 2011 change, however, as those in mobile home parks still fall under the privilege tax. Those that have not had changes in title ownership after the effective date of

Visitor’s center prepared for summer season By Bob Crossen Calhoun News-Herald In its continued effort to encourage tourism and provide visitors the resources to learn about Calhoun County, the Brussels Visitor’s Center hosted an exhibit during Memorial Day weekend. Gloria Marineau said the exhibit was a success with more than 60 people coming to view the history of the Great Flood of ‘93 in Calhoun County and learn of the impact the flooding had. “We had a respectable amount of people come through,” Marineau said. “It was so fantastic that I may repeat it later on this year.”

More exhibits throughout the year on different topics is a way she said the visitor’s center could bolster tourism numbers for the county. The center has been outfitted with air-conditioning in its main exhibit hall to better accommodate those visitors, and during the weekend of the fourth of July, she said the Calhoun Art Guild will have an exhibit with many artists showcasing their work. Some of the artists will also have pieces up for sale, she added. The visitor’s center had a similar exhibit last year, including artistic cutouts for photographs and a decorative boat. Marineau said the visitor’s center

will still operate the same functions it has since it was created in the summer of 2012. The center offers free maps and brochures to visitors in the county, and was also responsible for posting signs welcoming guests into the county at the ferry landings and Joe Page Bridge. She said all offerings at the center are free to those who stop in, but noted this summer T-shirts with a Calhoun County logo – the letter O in Calhoun is a peach – will be for sale. “That’s a fundraiser in order to sustain the visitor’s center,” Marineau said, noting that nothing passed out from the visitors center costs the taxpayer money.

The proceeds from the T-shirts will benefit the Calhoun Community Foundation, an organization which helped in the establishment of the visitor’s center. She said the center could also use additional volunteers to keep its operating hours steady throughout the tourist season. Open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Marineau requests volunteers be able to work a two- to three-hour shift. Many of the time slots have been filled for the first half of the season, but more help could be used, she added. Those interested in volunteering at the visitor’s center can contact Marineau by calling 618-883-2032.

Dream Day (Continued from A1) business to a permanent building at 326 Fifth St. She said she tried opening a shop in Calhoun County approximately six years ago, but due to a string of health and family issues, the timing of the expansion was too difficult to achieve comfortably. But now that the dust has settled, Winters said she is ready to attempt the expansion again, especially after the encouragement of Calhoun locals. “It was the parents, mothers, the different people I talked to that kind of pushed me toward that. They were so positive,” Winters said. “This year after prom was over, I got the nicest thank you cards from the mothers in Calhoun.” Dream Day Decorating has worked with Calhoun High School in the past two years to size the students for their prom tuxedos from Jim’s Formal Wear, an aspect of the business which will also be run out of the Hardin location. She said the business came to the county to measure the students for their tuxedos, saving many families a drive to Carrollton for the procedure. Dream Day Decorations even brought the tuxedos to the students

for prom night. Sharing the moments of somebody’s dream with them is one of her favorite parts of the job because she gets to be around and interact with people. “I’m a very people-person. I like to meet new people. I’m very talkative,” Winters said, “And it gives me a chance to – I’ve got to share in a lot of people’s happy moments and their sad moments, but in a good way. It gets me close to them.” She said she feels like part of her job is to encourage people to take chances and give themselves an opportunity to reach their dreams. “You have your dreams, but you won’t know until you try them,” Winters said. “I have this quote that I’ve always kept and have it painted in my shop. It’s ‘There’s nothing like a dream to create a future.’” Located at 205 South County Road Riverside Dreams will open June 14 when the store will host its open house from 9 p.m. to 3 p.m. The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. The store will be closed Sunday. For inquiries about the business or its offerings, call 618-576-8032.

(Continued from A1) date of the bill are assessed as real estate – assuming there is a change in ownership – bringing the tax values of the properties up tremendously. Crystal Perry, Jersey County supervisor of assessments, said there are 625 mobile homes in Jersey County that are still taxed with privilege tax. “Of those 625, 49 of those were in mobile home parks,” Perry said, adding the others outside mobile home parks have not had title transfers requiring the switch to real estate tax. She said just two homes have been transferred to real estate assessment since the change went into effect. Using one home as an example in the cost changes, Perry said one of the mobile home properties in Jersey County was taxed at $244 on the privilege tax, but when it was switched to real estate, that tax bill grew to nearly $2,270. According to Illinois Compiled Statutes in regards to mobile home local services tax, the privilege tax is calculated based on the mobile home’s model year. The tax is then applied at a cost per square foot of space based on the outside dimensions of the home, excluding the length of the tongue and hitch. When the properties are switched over from the privilege tax to the property tax, the timing of their assessment is also changed. Property taxes are assessed one year behind the current year while privilege tax is assessed for the current year, meaning a mobile home on private land could pay the privilege tax on a different year than the property tax for the land on which it sits. Lorrie Koch, Scott County supervisor of assessments, said the year difference creates an interesting scenario when the property is transferred to real estate rolls. “Sometimes there’s a gap between getting them switched,” Koch said. “Let’s say somebody’s already paid their mobile home tax for 2014 because that’s the current year for mobile home tax. And then if it sells in July, I can’t

assess them for 2014. I have to wait until 2015 with taxes payable in 2016.” Like Calhoun County where all mobile homes are assessed as real estate, Koch said she assessed homes as such in Scott County for many years. One year, however, she said a resident challenged the assessment because the mobile home was not on a permanent foundation, but rather on its wheels. At the time, mobile homes without a foundation fell under the privilege tax assessment by law, and Koch said the appeal was ruled against her, meaning the county had to reassess such mobile homes based on the privilege tax. With the 2011 change to the law, she said many of the homes are being switched back to real estate taxes when the law calls for the transfer. Since 2011, privilege tax parcels in Pike County have decreased by 118 to 729 mobile homes. Of those 118 mobile homes, 115 of them were placed on the real estate rolls with the remaining three removed from the rolls entirely. “There were many mobile homes that had delinquent taxes due on them, that had never been paid, and in most cases were not caught at the transfers or closings,” Pike County Supervisor of Assessments Cindy Shaw said in an email May 30. “Many of those privilege taxes are still sitting on the collector’s books as due.” The difference in taxes for the mobiles homes was not as great as those in Jersey County, however. Shaw said a mobile home under the privilege tax that was charged $74 had a $333 property tax bill when it was assessed as real estate without any homestead exemptions. A mobile home with a similar privilege tax with the exemptions had a property tax bill of $174 when it was transferred to the real estate rolls. Greene County had a lower amount of income from privilege taxes compared to surrounding counties with them. With a total of 484 privilege tax parcels, the county brings in a little more than $41,000 in privilege tax.

Governor Quinn proclaims June "Leave No Child Inside" month in Illinois Governor Pat Quinn proclaimed June as “Leave No Child Inside” month in Illinois, and encouraged families to spend time outdoors enjoying recreation opportunities, activities and events throughout the state. “Following the harsh winter, our beautiful state parks and natural areas are great places for children to re-energize, get outdoors and get active,” Governor Quinn said. “We want to ‘Leave No Child Inside’ because children who spend time outdoors can have fun, get needed exercise and learn about the importance of protecting the natural wonders here in Illinois.” As part of “Leave No Child Inside” month, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and partner organizations throughout Illinois will host a variety of activities and events in June and throughout the summer to encourage children and families to spend time outdoors. “Events such as Illinois Free Fishing Days, and simple family activities like a hike on a nature trail in a state or local park, are great alternatives to being glued to a video game controller or bored by TV shows all summer,” IDNR Director Marc Miller said. The “Leave No Child Inside” initiative was launched in 2007 to get more children outside and to increase the amount and quality of time they spend outdoors. The initiative is intended to promote outdoor activities as fun and healthy ways for families to spend time together, while helping improve health and fitness and curb child obesity. Families are encouraged to check with local and regional parks, recreation agencies and youth organizations for information on local outdoor activities during the summer months. A number of June “Leave No Child Inside” events and activities coordinated by the IDNR are listed below: June 6-9 Illinois Free Fishing Days www.ifishillinois.org June 7 Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair, Pere Marquette State Park, Grafton,

Thank God who blessed us with so many friends. We would like to express our appreciation for the Calhoun Sheriff staff, ambulances of Calhoun and Greene Counties, the EMT’s, Phil Gress the coroner. They fulfilled their duties well and all were very compassionate and helpful. A special thank you to Lummis Funeral Home for the remarkable job they did. Brad thank you for working with us for our special request. We want to express our sincere appreciation to Richard Hobbs and Wayne Chamberlain for the excellent job of officiating the funeral services. Appreciated Barb for excellent choices of music and making the CD. It took a lot of cooperation to take Harry Glenn on his final journey with his John Deere Tractor. His final journeys began at the Mozier Junction (his final coffee shop), proceeded out 96 to the Summit Grove Cemetery (his final home). It was special to have the tractor running during the graveside service. We are expressing a big thank you to everyone that helped in any way. A big thank you to the ladies of the Kampsville community for preparing the meal and donating the food for the celebration of Harry’s life at the St. Anselm’s Church Hall. Harry wanted his service to be a happy one. He would have been very pleased with his humorous service. We are all greatly blessed by God and thankful for Him letting us have Harry as long as we did. We know he will be missed by many.

Couple plans ‘Wedding in the Woods’ By Carmen ensinger Calhoun News-Herald

the next year that Oct. 4 fell on a Saturday. Kraut said she loves October

Almost every young couple planning to tie the knot wants that special wedding that they will remember for the rest of their lives and this will surely be the case for Hayden Eilerman and Kayce Kraut. They have decided to have a “Wedding in the Woods” – literally. They will be married on Oct. 4 at the old 4-H camp at Jacksonville Lake followed by a bonfire. Instead of celebrating with champagne they will be celebrating with s’mores. After being together for six years, Eilerman proposed to Kraut in February. Nothing is typical about their wedding, not even the proposal, as Kraut explained. “My dad is always saying ‘10-4 good buddy’ and I thought that was a good date because it was easy to remember and people always joke about husbands forgetting their anniversary,” Kraut said. “And, I figure since I’m going to marry a redneck I guess our wedding date should be memorable.” So, Kraut knew the date she wanted to get married but there was also one other requirement – she wanted to get married on a Saturday. The problem was if she didn’t get married this year, she would have to wait until 2021 –

“I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background. I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’”

Kayce Kraut Bride-to-be because it is not too hot outside, but the men in her family love the month for another reason. “Unfortunately, October is also

Simplify and save on your wedding Planning a wedding is complicated. Once couples choose a date and location for their ceremony, they can then can get down to the nuts and bolts of the big day. When planning a wedding, many couples are governed by a budget. Budgets often get stretched, but even those brides- and grooms-to-be who spend more than they had initially hoped often find themselves not going too far over budget. One of the best ways for couples to stay within spitting distance of their budget or even come in under budget is to take steps to simplify the ceremony and reception. Simplifying a few aspects of the wedding can save couples money without forcing them to make sacrifices that affect the look or feel of occasion. n Turn floral arrangements into multi-purpose accessories. Bridesmaids typically carry beautiful floral bouquets during the wedding ceremony. But such bouquets are quickly put down and forgotten once a couple has officially tied the knot. Couples can save a few dollars by repurposing floral bouquets and other floral arrangements used during the ceremony. Once the ceremony has ended, repurpose floral bouquets as centerpieces for the reception tables and turn flowers used as aisle markers during the ceremony into small centerpieces on the escort card table or place them alongside the guestbook. This saves you the trouble of choosing various floral arrangements to display throughout the reception venue and also saves you money. n Scale back on the alcohol offerings. Some couples opt for a fullservice, top-shelf bar at their wedding. While that's a nice gesture, it's also an expensive one. Couples can save a substantial amount of money by simplifying the alcoholic offerings at their reception. Instead of a full top-shelf bar, offer guests one or two choices of popular liquors such as whiskey, rum and vodka and steer clear of especially expensive brands. The majority of guests likely won't even notice, but couples will notice how much money they save. n Choose a classic cake. Elaborate cakes may be de rigueur, but the cost of an especially elaborate wedding cake can make a cost-conscious couple's collective jaw drop. Instead of a specially designed, labor-intensive cake, choose a classic cake that won't break the bank. Classic cakes can add an elegant touch to a wedding without extending a couple's budget. n Trim the guest list. Trimming the guest list is arguably the most effective way to simplify a wedding while

simultaneously saving some money. Once you have compiled a list of potential invitees, peruse that list to determine if there are any people who can be trimmed from the list. This is easier for couples paying for their own wedding, as they won't feel pressured to invite any friends or colleagues of their parents whom they don't know personally. But even couples splitting the cost of their weddings with their parents should speak with their parents about trimming the guest list to make the affair a little less expensive. Traditional weddings are anything but simple. But there are ways for couples to make planning their wedding less complicated while saving some money at the same time.

the beginning of bow season so our anniversary is going to be at the start of bow season,” she said. “I really had to fight for that date because deer season is very important in both his family and mine. My dad even made sure my mom wouldn’t deliver a baby during deer season because he had no intention of missing it.” With the date set, next came setting a theme for the wedding. “I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background,” Kraut said. “I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’” But finding a venue to provide just the right atmosphere would be a little more difficult. “We looked at several different places but none of them had everything we wanted, which was a lot of trees along with water,” Kraut said. “I was telling my friend, Hattie Plogger, about it and said if she ever ran across such a place to let us know. She told us about Jacksonville Lake and we went and looked at it and it was just perfect for us.” So what does one wear to a “Wedding in the Woods?” Certainly not the traditional attire

of an elaborate wedding dresses and tuxedos. “My dress is going to be really simple and laid back,” Kraut said. “The boys are going to just wear dress pants and a button up shirt with rolled up sleeves and no tie. Hayden hates to wear ties, plus it would look really out of place in such an outdoorsy atmosphere.” Following the short 30-minute ceremony, guests will be asked to gather around a bonfire, where they will be making s’mores. For the honeymoon, the couple must be on an airplane at 4:30 a.m. the day after the wedding so they can board a ship for a cruise around the Caribbean. Even this could prove to be out of the ordinary. “It is during hurricane season so we were able to get it really cheap,” Kraut said. “If there is a hurricane or something interrupts our cruise, then you get free cruises for like five years or something so we are like ‘Hey, bring on the rain.’” When they return to Carrollton as man and wife, the couple will reside in the parsonage at Lifepoint Church (formerly Assembly of God) where Eilerman is youth pastor and Kraut works in the office. Eilerman is also a member of the Air National Guard and works in Springfield on F-16 jet engines.

A New Day Clay Harrison How lovely the sunrise and cool morning breeze As slivers of sunlight sift through the trees. The shadows are yawning about to depart; A new day is dawning ready to start. The clouds are aglow with purples and red As the moon and stars crawl into bed. A chorus of songbirds are singing a hymn Praising the Master upon every limb. The roses are drenched with cool morning dew, Each petal a diamond of lavender hue. The curtains of heaven are changing to blue… A new day is dawning… waiting for you.

Sorry there was no news last week, but we had a lot of activity going on and I was just too pooped to pop. Sunday, May 25 we had our annual Retzer reunion up at the Retzer Farm. We had geat crowd and so much food it was almost sinful. Redeye and I didn’t stay long; as usual I too tired and had to come home to rest. Saturday the 24 th , we went to Poore Cemetery where I waited in the truck, out of the gnats, and Redeye put flags on graves of all Veterans. Memorial Day the annual services were held at Summit Grove cemetery followed at park in Kampsville followed by a wonderful dinner. Those ladies know how to bake pies. All in all it was

a great day. The Legion is now open daily, and are having a good business. It is so light and airy, and has enough room for several tables. For those who do not drink alcohol, there is a plentiful collection of soda. Finally got both of our poor damaged vehicles home. C&K Collision in Carrollton did a wonderful job. Tim McGowen even delivered repaired vehicles to us. He is a great body man with about 30 years of experience and very easy to work with. My cancer doesn’t seem to be bothering me, but the arthritis in my knees and back is about to drive me crazy. To add insult to injury - my combined State Insurance and

Medicare are refusing to cover my cancer meds. I sent a letter to Dr. Tan, and he is working on it. I have my office back. Haven’t felt like sprucing it up, and it had gotten very un-pretty. Spent all day yesterday hanging red, white and blue decorations, etc etc. Jane Hagen came and did the actual cleaning and it is quite charming now. If anyone can help me with my flowers in the yard, please do so. No matter when I water them they will not really bloom. I have added treated potting soil, and Miracle Grow, and all the plants do is snicker. And how was your week??? See you next week.

■ Blessings from Belleview We want to send our gratitude to the Hamburg Village Council for allowing us to the park pavilion for our Community Worship Service. It was a wonderful service and we thank our visitors who chose to be with us. The weather cooperated beautifully. The rain stayed just a few miles north of us; a beautiful breeze came off the river and kept the bugs at bay. We are excited about what is to come in the weeks ahead. Our theme for the next several months is “Possibilities in Impossibilities.” On June 14, one of America’s premiere southern Gospel group will be in concert at 7 p.m. Join us for a night of great music with “The Greenes.” In addition to this event, I am excited about having David Ring joining us on Sunday night June 29 at 6 p.m. You may have seen David on John Hagee or Jerry Falwell. We would like to send a birthday shout out to George Neitzel who celebrated on June 1 and happy anniversary greetings to Lawrence and Mary Gill who celebrates on June 4. We have enjoyed having my mother and her husband visit us

from North Carolina for a few days. They have enjoyed the beauty of the Calhoun bluffs, felt the breeze from the mighty Mississippi, and experienced the ferry ride of Golden Eagle. The Baytowne Guest House in Mozier has proven to be a wonderful place to stay during their time here. A place that I would highly recommend should family or friends need a place to stay while they are here. The five of us took them to Hannibal to discover Mark Twain’s history. A part of that trip included Mark Twain Cave. During the tour, we divided our three children. The girls stayed with either mom or grandmother and my son stayed with me. Midway through the tour, we came to a stop. It is the stop where they turned out the lights. I was adjusting the camera lenses in the darkness when I heard a silent whimper from my son and his arms clung fast to my leg. He squeezed with all his might. I placed my hand lightly on his shoulder and he quickly reached for it to hold. When I knelt down, I quietly

told him that I am here and he had nothing to worry about. His whimpering ceased and together we remained silent in the cave when the tour guide lit a lone candle to demonstrate what it was like in the cave during the days before they installed modern-day lights. Isn’t that nice? How in the times of darkness in our lives we have someone to hold on to? Someone that we can depend on when we need them the most? Unfortunately, not everyone has proven to be that. Many people are like the friends of the prodigal son in Jesus’ parable. When the prodigal son had hit rock bottom, those who were considered to be his friends abandoned him. I have always believed that when life hands you lemons, friends stick around for the lemonade. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. (Isaiah 43:2)

Fortner memorial

A lot has changed since you were in school. Your children don't listen to the same types of music you enjoyed, and they certainly dress differently despite your protests. They learn differently as well. Today's classrooms are no longer focused on chalkboards and lectures. Digital devices tied to curriculum leveraging big data technology are becoming more central to learning and are key to creating dynamic classrooms that support personalizing learning for every student. This new approach is helping students to learn at their own pace and aids educators to deeply engage with students in their learning process. These new technologies rely upon access to student data to provide more informed instruction and individualized approaches to helping all students succeed. But with the gathering of more data, schools have more responsibility to ensure a student's privacy is safeguarded. Many parents are now asking schools about how their kid's data is being secured. There are Federal laws in place to guide districts on protecting student privacy. These include FERPA, COPPA, PPRA and even HIPAA regulations that help give districts some guidelines on privacy and security, but many of these regulations were created before the massive adoption of technology in schools and the laws haven't kept pace with classroom realities. This places the burden of creating more modern plans for minors' privacy and security on states and districts. "While these laws are important for schools to understand and comply with, they alone will not ensure the privacy of student data," says David Hoffman, director of security policy and global privacy for Intel. "It's up to district officials, teachers and parents to ensure privacy and security are top priorities in school districts." As a parent, you know that new technology is the key to furthering your child's educational development. But how can you be sure your child's district is protecting student privacy? It's simple, get involved. You can do so by asking your district these six questions about data security: n What data are the school district collecting? Understanding what data are being collected makes you

Fear Not!

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

What is the root of all evil? Some say selfishness, and Saint Paul said it was the love of money, but perhaps it is really just fear, since fear is at bottom the unwillingness or inability to trust God. While we should be a bit dubious about reducing everything, especially something as complicated as sin or evil, to one simple thing, the more we reflect on this the more we see that fear does indeed reside at the basis of many sins. Consider how greed (or the love of money) derives from a fear that our future will be destitute and that money will somehow guarantee our security. Negative emotions like jealousy and envy are often borne of the fear that we will lose our loved ones to more attractive or talented rivals. Anger is quite often just fear that has turned outward: the startled response to a slammed door is quickly replaced by anger directed at the door slammer. But, perhaps this is as it should be: anger and fear are appropriate at the right time and place, and when tempered by reason and mercy. Perhaps no one thing is the root of all evil and perhaps there are many roots of many evils. Greed is one thing, while fear and anger are another, or to quote Joseph Butler, "everything is what it is and not another thing." - Christopher Simon

IDNR: Stay safe by leaving baby birds and other wildlife alone With summer’s arrival, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) reminds everyone to leave baby birds and wild animals alone. During the breeding season, wellmeaning people often rescue birds and animals they believe have been orphaned or abandoned. In nearly all cases, the birds and animals are unnecessarily taken from the wild. Often, parents are still feeding their young but will not show themselves if people are present. The Illinois Wildlife Code provides legal protection for Illinois wildlife. It is against the law to keep wild animals as pets, or to raise wild animals believed to be abandoned. If you have questions, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. To learn more about wildlife conflicts and how you can keep yourself, your pets, and wildlife safe, visit the Living with Wildlife in Illinois website at: http:// web.extension.illinois.edu/wildlife/ All wild birds except the nonnative rock pigeon, European starling and English house sparrow also are federally protected. This includes protection of eggs, nests, and feathers. The IDNR works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect and manage birds in Illinois. Before you take any action, consider these facts: 1. Birds often leave the nest before they can fly. These birds, known as “fledglings,” will live on the ground

Having a

2. Do not attempt to rescue fawns. Fawns stay very still to conceal themselves until they are old enough to keep up with their mother. Does will not stand near the fawns, because that would alert predators to their presence. Leave fawns alone and the mother will return once you leave the area. 3. It is illegal to feed wild deer. When deer congregate, it can facilitate the spread of disease. 4. Wild birds and animals can become habituated to people when they are provided food. Do not leave pet food outside at night, clean up under bird feeders, and secure garbage can lids to keep raccoons and other wildlife out. Nuisance animals can become dangerous to people. 5. Handling wild animals can result in the handler being bitten. According to the Centers for Disease Control, wild animals that bite a person must be euthanized immediately to be tested for rabies. The IDNR urges everyone to enjoy wildlife by observing, but not interfering. Keep yourself, your children and your pets safe. Leave wildlife in the wild.
