County assessor clears air on EAV drop By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald It was standing room only during the Calhoun County Commissioners meeting Aug. 7, when the supervisor of assessments presented information on the drastic shift downwards for the county’s equalized assessed value (EAV). Since being appointed by the commissioners in September 2013, Pat Langland, supervisor of assessments, spent her time reevaluating property throughout the county to fix mistakes during previous assessments. In doing so, the county’s total EAV dropped by around two percent. However, that drop was still not enough, according to the state, so an additional negative multiplier of seven was tacked on to the EAV. According to a release from the state published in the June 18 issue of Calhoun NewsHerald, “a multiplier is a method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law.” That drop in EAV will negatively impact the budgets for local taxing districts in the coming year, most notably Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 and Brussels Community

Unit School District 42. Unit 40 Superintendent Kate Sievers said the decrease is a loss of approximately $275,000. The loss of revenue, she said, will be devastating to the district’s finances. “We have been strapped for cash the last four years I have been up here, so it has been a tremendous impact on our district,” Sievers said, adding she would have liked the change to be phased in over a three-year period. The assessor said the state would not allow for such an option because the problems with assessments in Calhoun have been a longstanding issue, one with which the state was fed up. Langland said until the late 1980s, many assessors throughout the state were not properly educated on how to accurately calculate property assessments. The state created standards for education for assessors, Langland added, noting she is the secretary for the Certified Illinois Assessing Officers board of directors that oversees those standards. The goal of assessments, she said, is to equally assess properties in all counties so that no county is over- or under-assessed compared to another, especially since some

local taxing districts overlap into multiple counties.

“We have been strapped for cash the last four years I have been up here, so it has been a tremendous impact on our district.”

Kate Sievers Superintendent All property assessments should be made at one-third of the property’s market value. According to Calhoun County’s information, assessments are at 35.8 percent of market value for sales of property between 2010 and 2012. Langland explained the number is high due to some outlying assessments in the past three assessment years. As an example, she said one non-farm weighted property in 2010 was assessed at 36.35 percent of its market value. That number dropped to 33.5 in 2011,

but spiked again in 2012 to 41.78 bringing that property’s three-year average assessment to 37.22 percent. “They didn’t address the multipliers when they were given,” Langland said, noting the assessors used a county multiplier in response to the state’s. “When they first come out with the initial assessment to the supervisor of assessments, they’re supposed to evaluate where the problems are and instead of evaluating that, they threw all of these [county] multipliers at everybody.” The supervisor of assessments said solving the problem could be a simple as a reassessment of individual over- or under-assessed properties to bring them in line with the state’s standards, rather than applying a multiplier that throws all the properties into flux. Commissioner Gene Breden said the county was in a bad place with assessments as far as the state was concerned. The state pays half of the assessor’s salary, and Breden said Illinois refused to pay its half of the salary last year “because the factors were so messed up.” He said something needed to change, adding Langland is making those changes now.

Goldenrod progress still on track By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Fundraisers for the Goldenrod Showboat are still in their planning stages, despite the death of a man heavily invested in the restoration effort. Steve DeBellis, Historic Riverboat Preservation Association president, died of an infection Aug. 2 at St. Mary’s Health Center, according to a report from the St. Louis Post Dispatch dated Aug. 3. The entrepreneur was instrumental in drafting agreements to pay back mooring fees for the historic showboat and planning its return to the St. Louis riverfront. Jake Medford, Jerseyville resident, volunteered many hours since 2010 to share the boat’s history and maintain it when it was moored at Pool 24 in Kampsville. He worked with DeBellis on returning the Goldenrod to St. Louis, and said the loss has slowed down the process. The HRPA board will gather to take action on how to proceed with the Goldenrod’s restoration in the wake of DeBellis’ death, he added. “Right now what we’re doing is getting everything organized internally, [to] move forward at a pretty good pace,” Medford said. The Goldenrod Showboat is one of two remaining his-

toric showboats and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968. It was built in 1909 – three years before the Titanic – in Parkersville, W.Va. by the Pope Dock Company for W.R. Markle. It sustained damage in a series of accidents before it became a fixture of the community in St. Louis in 1937 under Captain Bill Menke. It sank twice before 1950 and was salvaged after each incident. The Goldenrod was home to dinner theater shows that sold out on a regular basis and also successfully hosted rag time festivals. After it bottomed out in 1991, the costs for repair were too great for another restoration to take place and it was then moored on the riverbank in Kampsville until it was put up for auction in the fall of 2013. Pool 24 won the bid for the boat at approximately $70,000 and entered into an agreement in April with HRPA to have the mooring fees paid back over time while the association gathered support for its restoration effort. Medford said fundraisers are in the works, but nothing has been finalized at this time.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Health Department finished its fiscal year approximately $11,000 in the red, according to a report to the county commissioners Aug. 7. Commissioner Gene Breden said the health department is seeking $8,000 less in its levy for the year to compensate for the losses, adding the board is prepared to make sacrifices to keep the budget balanced in the future. “We discussed what was going to be done about their deficit from last year and what was going to happen with the lower amount of money than they had planned on,” Breden said. “They had proposed raises in their budget; however, the board voted that no raises would be given this year.” He said the board of health would be interested in providing raises for its employees this year if it becomes affordable for the department to do so. Commissioner and Finance Committee member Phil Robeen said there

is public safety tax money built into the health department’s budget, which may help its financial situation, and Breden said the department was already counting on money from the tax, which was approved in 2012. “They’re just going to have to suck it up, is what the board determined,” Breden said. “They’re going to have to tighten their belt. That’s about all there is to it.” He said Board of Health member Ed Fanning has been instrumental in advising the board on its financial situation and cautioned it against high projections of revenue. Additionally, a motion to subsidize health insurance for county employees failed on the floor during last week’s commissioner meeting. A motion was made by Breden, but it did not receive a second. Breden was tasked with learning how the county could offer health insurance incentives to employees while still adhering to the (See, health dept., A2)

A Flag for America: Gift for Navy ship tours area By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The region became a part of military history last week when a United States flag toured the area ahead of it being placed permanently on a U.S. Navy ship in October. The U.S.S. America will be commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco. Lynne Pace, wife of General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2005 to 2007, is the sponsor of the ship. Katie Haddock, Otterville native and public affairs advisor for Gen. Pace, said it is customary for the sponsor of the ship to present a gift to the vessel that will remain adorned on it until it is decommissioned. “If the ship had a mother, that would be the sponsor,” Haddock said, noting that person is considered to be the spirit of the ship. “She is involved as a part of this ship for as long as it is in service.” To best fall in line with the ship’s name, America, she thought a flag would be a good representation of it. But she wanted the flag to be something special and reached out to a retired teacher from Maine for help. That teacher, Larry Ross of Skowhegan, Maine, has a 30- by 50-foot flag that was unfurled on the coast of Maine at sunrise. By sunset on the same day, it was unfurled again on the coast of California. Haddock said the flag was flown on the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks as a way to show solidarity throughout the nation during that time. “The kids referred to it as sort of the Bandaid across America,” Haddock said. “It just helps people to kind of connect with ideas that otherwise might just be something happening somewhere else.” Ross suggested the flag be taken to as many states as possible before it is placed on the ship during the commissioning ceremony. With such a tour, it too could make people feel like a part of the ship’s history. Since that time, Ross said the flag has been through 29 states and has connected with thousands of people. That connection, Haddock said, was important in tying the ship with the country’s people. “Not only is it a gift for the ship, but it also connects everyone who has seen it or C

been involved with it. They’re connected with America, with the ship, from now on, as well,” Haddock said, noting people signed pledge cards as part of the tour, too. In its journey, it made a stop at the first integrated school in the country, Hamilton Primary School in Otterville, and at the University of Illinois Extension office in Calhoun County where local quilters got to visit the flag and hear Ross’ presentation. Haddock said the flag was brought to the area in part because of her ties to Otterville, where she attended school. She was heavily influenced by two teachers in her youth, Chuck Bertman and Robbie Strauch, wife of former Calhoun Unit 40 Superintendent Terry Strauch. Haddock was a literature lover and stud-

ied English. She said she enjoyed learning and writing poetry and even attended school at Western University to become a teacher to follow in the footsteps of those who influenced her young adult life. But, she struggled to find a teaching job at the time, and rather than sit on her hands waiting for the right moment, she joined the United States Marine Corp where she worked in public affairs, using her writing talents on a daily basis. She became a public affairs advisor for Gen. Pace and is now a part of the history of the flag to be placed on the U.S.S. America in October. She said the flag is important to her because it connects people with the ship. (See, navy tours., A2)

(Continued from A1) “We’ve been suffering from this for quite a while now,” Breden said. County Engineer Barry Webster worried the downward shift in assessments is not good for home owners because they wouldn’t like to sell their property if its value has decreased dramatically from the day it was purchased. “Mine’s been going up three percent in Jersey County,” Webster said of the property’s value. “I would gladly sell my

house for what they’ve got it valued at. Now this house here that you’ve got valued at $232,000, would you sell it for that?” Some citizens were concerned their bills were too high and asked what options they have. Langland said each home owner has a 30-day window in which they may request a hearing with the board of review. The board of review was conducted earlier this summer and the next filing period for an appeal will occur when tax bills are next sent out.

Health Dept. (Continued from A1) Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. In speaking with Calhoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, he said the retirement home company gives vouchers to its employees for their health plans. Breden suggested the county do the same with its employees who seek a plan on the health care exchange. “The way they are meeting this is they are giving each person that goes to the health care exchange up to $2,000 per year to pay for their health care,” Breden said. “That’s how they’re satisfying the requirement.” Employees have to bring in a receipt to show how much has been paid for the health care, and they are reimbursed with a voucher for the cost. He proposed county employees be reimbursed for health insurance if they have to go to the health exchange market place for coverage. Chairman Doug Wilschetz said pursuing a voucher option could become problematic. Some employees have been receiving insurance offered by the county for years, while others have already sought plans on the marketplace. He questioned how the county could determine who would be eligible for a voucher.

“If we do the subsidy, I feel like other employees are going to say, ‘You’re providing this amount to them, but your’e not required to,’” Wilschetz said. “I kind of feel like we’d be opening a can of worms, really.” He said such a program could also have expensive operating costs because somebody in the county would have to constantly monitor how many people are hired, who is hiring, and figure whether the county is abiding by ACA or not. The county is not required to offer health insurance under the law until it reaches at least 50 employees. If it does reach that number and fails to offer insurance, it can be penalized based on the total number of employees greater than 30. In other business, the commissioners: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting, the bills and fuel quotes. n Approved the purchase of a John Deere cab tractor using $10,000 trade-in on an older tractor. The final price on the new vehicle is $41,000 with the trade-in calculated into the expense. n Approved a fee study for the county clerk’s office for $2,500. n Discussed drafting legislation for poker run licensing.

(Continued from A1) When the flag is brought to an area, Ross tells them a story of the flag’s importance to give those listening an even greater sense of patriotism. That value, she said, is strong in the area, and means even more with the flag that was brought before them. “We all know what a flag looks like, and we even know the words to our anthem. We certainly know how to pledge allegiance to a flag, but sometimes that’s sort of just something you do,” Haddock said.

“This has been so fun watching people connect in a very real way, to hear the story…You can see that they’re really honored to be a part of this story.” The U.S.S. America will be commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco. The flag’s journey is being documented by Richard Sassaman, and photos of its travels can be seen by searching “flag4AMERICA” on Facebook.

The Girl Scouts are hosting a “Movie in the Park” event Friday, Aug. 22, at the beautiful town park behind the village hall in Brussels. The community is invited to come out and enjoy a family geared movie, which is still being determined to play at dark. We encourage those attending to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating. The scouts will be providing popcorn, bottled water and packaged drinks. This will also be an opportunity for girls of the community to come out to join scouts. Registration is from 7:15 to 8 p.m. for girls from kindergarten through high school.

Financial assistance is also available to help both girls and adults who might otherwise be unable to participate in Girl Scouting. Examples of circumstances when financial assistance may be needed include unemployment, high medical bills, and several girls from the same family becoming members, public assistance, or low income. Scouting is a wonderful program that helps build girls of courage, confidence and character. Scouts get this opportunity through meetings held twice monthly plus lots of community service projects

He loved his garden, his “Jet Star” tomatoes, wood fires, cooking over the grill (lemon chicken was his specialty) and going to Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., with the family. Don also enjoyed feeding the birds and squirrels at home. “God would be mad if you don’t take care of his animals.” Visitation will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014 at Weber & Rodney Funeral Home in Edwardsville.

Groups representing Illinois livestock farmers said today newly announced rules that will affect livestock farms in the state strike a balance between protecting the environment and allowing farmers to operate. The rules, approved by the Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) as part of a years-long process, have been updated to ensure consistency with federal regulations that also govern livestock farms. “We certainly appreciate the willingness of state regulators to listen to the concerns we raised on these rules and how the rules could impact livestock farms across Illinois,” said Richard Guebert Jr., president of the Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB). “We still have concerns with some aspects of the rules, but also feel that our concerns were heard. Going forward, we will work with all interested parties and the Il. Environmental Protection agency (IEPA) on how these rules will be implemented.” “Although

our members are already strongly regulated under the Livestock Management Facilities Act (LMFA), we believe these rules provide for additional environmental assurance while enabling farmers to continue to operate,” said Todd Dail, a pig farmer from Erie, and president of the Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA). “As a livestock farmer, I take great care to ensure the safety of the environment. All farms have a responsibility to adopt management practices that protect our natural resources and limit any environmental impacts. I believe that sound environmental protection can be achieved regardless of the size of our farm or the number of animals we raise.” The rules outline, among other requirements, protocols for applying manure as fertilizer on farmland, manure management plans and recordkeeping for livestock farms.

The person that acquired it in Chicago area saw the town name of Hardin, and felt the book should go to the Historical Society for preservation. It is very thoughtful that these people took the time to locate the Society. Mr. Lair even delivered the paintings and the cup to society president Emerson Retzer.

a requirement that livestock farmers register with the state, providing specific details about their farms. IFB and IPPA, with the Illinois Milk Producers Association and the Illinois Beef Association, successfully argued that IPCB does not have the authority to require registration; that registration is not required in federal rules that govern livestock farms; and that IEPA has indicated it does not want, nor does it need, a reporting rule. IEPA has its own system in place to handle identification and inspection of livestock farms. “Today’s farms employ modern technology and innovations that allow farmers to better capture, and recycle the valuable nutrients in manure than we did just a generation ago. From adopting best practices and new technologies to implementing nutrient management plans and adhering to a stringent set of state and federal regulations, Illinois livestock farmers are committed to

doing what’s right to protect out natural recourses,” said Dail. The Illinois Farm Bureau is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a national organization of farmers and ranchers, Founded in 1916, IFB is a non-profit, membership organization directed by farmers who join through their county Farm Bureau. IFB has a total membership of more than 400,000 and a voting membership of more than 82,000. IFB represents three out of four Illinois farmers. The IPPA represents more than 2,000 pork producers throughout Illinois and the Illinois pork industry, which contributes more than $1.8 billion and more than 10,500 jobs to the state’s economy. IPPA is comprised of county pork producer groups in approximately 20 counties throughout Illinois. IPPA is an affiliate of the National Pork Producers Council and the National Pork Board.

Another article donated by a Chicago area historian who sought the Society for contact is an 1889,1890, and 1891 autograph book with salutations to someone named Rose or Rosa. There are 27 discernable signatures in it. One was from a brother H.W. Brannon in 1890. A review of the 1880 census lists a Rose Brannon, age six, and her brother Harold that he had written on another page.

Interesting donations to Historical Society Two oil paintings from the1930s era of the Kampsville Ferry landing area were recently donated to the Calhoun Historical Society by John Lair of Mt. Zion, one is dated 1936 the other is not but could be of an earlier period because not as many buildings are depicted. C. Koch of Kampsville signed both. These belonged to Lair’s grandmother Lucille Ritter Langer Lair, but the artist name is not familiar to the area. Does anyone recognize the Koch name? If so, please contact Emerson Retzer at 618-653-4285. The other item Lair donated also belonged to his grandmother and is a five inch tall silver colored goblet style cup award which is inscribed:

Calhoun News-Herald

There are two ways to enhance our chances of survival: robustness and resiliency. Robustness is a measure of how much damage can be done to an organism and it will still function. Plants are robust because they can lose their leaves and the majority of their limbs and yet survive. Resiliency refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to changing circumstances. A tropical plant may be robust, but it won't survive in a harsh environment such as a desert. Human beings are hardy because we combine robustness with resiliency. We are robust insofar as we can survive without our teeth, could lose a few limbs, and some of our vital organs are paired, such as the kidneys and lungs, allowing us to survive with just one of them. Though not as robust as plants, we are more resilient, since we adapt well to change, as evidenced by our living in virtually every environment on the planet. Religion is one of the tools that help us to adapt. The Bible is full of advice on how to get along under trying circumstances. The early Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and then had to survive in the desert, and even once they were established as a nation, they were surrounded by hostile neighbors. This remains true for them today, and there is a lesson here on the value of resiliency and robustness. Increase your robustness by staying healthy and increase your resiliency by being adaptive.

Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave.

Brussels Woman’s Club to help Brussels schools For the fourth consecutive year, Brussels Woman’s Club is working to provide needed school supplies for the community’s two elementary schools, Brussels Grade School and St. Mary’s School. Past efforts have been in coordination with Winneberg Club and included backpacks and such backto-school necessities as paper, pens and pencils, crayons, markers and erasers. This year they are refocusing to provide materials specific to each school. Brenda Paynic and Deb Pohlman, St. Mary’s principal and secre-

Splash Dash to bolster autism, special ed classes By RoBeRt Lyons Calhoun News-Herald An upcoming charity run is going to add some color to the community while raising money for the school district's special education and autism programs. The Splash Dash, planned for Sept. 27, is a 5K run/walk, where participants are doused with colored powder throughout the race, and at the end have become "a Picasso work of art." "A big draw with this kind of event is the before-and-after pictures," she said. "You and your friends get a before picture where you're all clean and white, and then at the end you have the same picture taken and you're covered in every color." Wearing plenty of white, as to start as a blank canvas, is encouraged and costumes are welcome. The event is being planned by the Cruiseaders Foundation, a non-profit organization that was founded by Amber Blackorby after her son, Cruise, was diagnosed with autism. "We could see our education system was lacking in funding, and the autism and special ed classrooms could use some extra funding," she said as to why the foundation got its start. All of the money raised by Cruiseaders Foundation events support Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100's autism and special education programs. Various fundraisers since its inception have allowed the foundation to contribute more than $10,000 to the district. Equipment, supplies and training for teachers have been funded in part by the foundation. "The community has always really supported this organization, I think because it all stays right here in our school district," Blackorby said. The district's special educa-

tion coordinator, Chip Fabry, collaborated with members of the department throughout the district and came up with what amounts to a wish list for the programs. Blackorby said the list totals about $16,000, which she is hoping to raise with the Splash Dash. "So, that's the goal," she said. "Every single classroom needs

quite a few things. Every therapist has items they'd like to have that could better the education of those students." An emotional Blackorby said the district deserves the best technology and resources available, as the educators in the special education and autism programs have improved the quality of 11-yearold Cruise's life significantly. When Cruise was much younger, Blackorby said the family was told Cruise faced many obstacles and would never be in a regular education classroom. However, with the exception of math, Cruise spends his entire school day in general education classes, which Blackorby attributes to the quality of the district's program. "He's broken every bound-

ary they've set," she said. "We're lucky. We just have such a great special ed program here. They've changed our lives." The idea for the Splash Dash came from Blackorby's wanting to break away from the more common fundraisers that have been done time and time again. She attended an event similar to the Splash Dash in St. Louis with a group of friends and was inspired. "We just had the best time," she said. "There were 40,000 people that were paying almost $50 a piece, driving from all over. I thought, 'You know, why couldn't I do this on a smaller scale in Jerseyville?'" The event has been in the planning stages for more than a year. So far, more than 50 people have registered, the majority of which are not local residents, according to Blackorby. She said in addition to providing a shot in the arm for the Cruiseaders Foundation, the city stands to benefit from an influx of participants spending time in town. "I hope it can keep growing and get bigger and better," she said. The colored powder is manufactured in the U.S from corn starch, and is both non-toxic and biodegradable. Blackorby is trying to get as many participants as possible registered early because the colors must be ordered in advance. The event begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Jersey County Fairgrounds. Registration closes the day before the event. A limited number of sponsorships are being offered. The registration fee includes an event T-shirt, race bib and goody bag. There is currently an early registration discount, as well as discounts for those who register as a group.

Healthy habits to lower your cancer risk Certain types of cancer are more likely to strike certain types of people than others. For example, while men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, women are far more likely to develop the disease. But just because a person's risk of developing cancer is low, that does not make that person immune from the disease. As a result, it's important that men and women take steps to lower their cancer risk. One of the more effective ways to lower your risk for cancer is to ensure your lifestyle choices are as healthy as possible. Choosing habits that benefit your short- and long-term health can reduce your risk for cancer and a host of additional ailments. n Maintain a healthy weight. According to the American Cancer Society, men and women who are overweight or obese are at a greater risk of several types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, breast, kidney, and thyroid. The National Cancer Institute defines obesity as someone with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or above, while someone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight. Maintaining a healthy weight or shedding excess weight if you are already at an elevated risk for cancer can lower your risk for cancer and other potentially debilitating diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. n Quit smoking. Smokers might be surprised to learn that

tobacco use, according to the ACS, is responsible for nearly 20 percent of all deaths in the United States. That might have something to do with tobacco's role in causing more than a dozen types of cancer and its link to heart disease, emphysema and stroke. But smoking can even harm nonsmokers unfortunate enough to spend time in the vicinity of smokers. Such nonsmokers take in nicotine and thousands of additional chemicals, including carbon monoxide and cadmium, a chemical element used in batteries, when people smoke near them. In addition, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke were 25 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease compared to nonsmokers not exposed to smoke. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children, as kids whose parents smoke around them get bronchitis and pneumonia more often than kids whose parents abstain from smoking in their presence. n Exercise regularly. The NCI notes that there is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon. More than 60 studies published in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have indicated that physically active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than inactive women, with some active women reducing their

risk by as much as 80 percent. Studies conducted around the world have produced similar findings with regard to colon cancer. Research has consistently indicated that adults who increase their physical activity, be it in intensity, duration or frequency, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent relative to adults who are sedentary. The ACS suggests adults include at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity in their weekly routines, though many studies have found that 30 to 60 minutes of moderate tovigorous physical activity per day is the most effective way to reduce cancer risk significantly. n Reduce alcohol consumption. While many adults may be quick to point out the benefits that a glass of wine can have with regard to a person's risk of heart disease or stroke, the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as recently as 2011 listed the consumption of alcoholic beverages as a known human carcinogen. Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for various types of cancers, including head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer. Adults who continue to consume alcohol should do so in moderation, which the ACS defines as no more than two drinks per day for men and no more than one drink per day for women.

Tips to keep your family safe Know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning (Family Features) Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electric power is needed, but if used incorrectly, they can cause harm to you and your family. Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that is tasteless, colorless and odorless. Careful consideration should be taken while operating portable generators or carbon monoxide poisoning can become a deadly risk. "Generators can be very dangerous if not operated properly," said Joe Harding, representative for the Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association (PGMA). "However, with proper selection and safe usage, the potential dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by portable generators can be greatly reduced. The PGMA Safety First

program is focused on educating the public to prevent unnecessary deaths." Protect your family, know the warning signs To minimize tragedies associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, the experts at PGMA offer these tips for the safe operation of portable generators: n Do not run portable generators inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds or other partially-enclosed spaces, even if using fans or opening doors and windows. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up and linger for hours in these places, even after the generator has been turned off. n Only operate a portable generator outside, far away from windows, doors and vents, to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas accumulating and potentially being drawn toward occupied spaces.

n Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plugin alarms with battery backup according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas. n Always place your portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces. n The symptoms of low-level carbon monoxide poisoning can be similar to those caused by other illness such as cold, flu or food poisoning. If you suspect you or a family member are experiencing any of these symptoms due to carbon monoxide poisoning, get outside to fresh air immediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention. For more information about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and ways to prevent unnecessary deaths, visit www. pgmaonline.com.

A balanced diet, exercise, genetics, and even certain medications can work in concert to make a person healthy. But a person's demeanor also can factor into personal health. The Mayo Clinic says that whether or not a person is an optimist or a pessimist can affect many areas of his or her health and well-being, and those who see the glass as half-full may ultimately be healthier than those who see it as half-empty. Positive thinking can make it easier to manage stress. The body responds differently based on an individual's mood, and it may produce stress hormones if a person's outlook is negative. Such stress hormones can compromise the immune system, increase blood pressure and even reduce the body's ability to burn fat effectively. Thinking negatively and being on edge also can increase a person's risk for developing cardiovascular disease and aging prematurely. Conversely, maintaining a positive attitude can be good for your health. Studies have shown that thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy and provide greater resistance to certain illnesses, such as the common cold. A 2012 preliminary study from researchers at Stanford University found that daughters of mothers suffering from depression were able to witness their own stress levels go down on a real-time brain scan as they switched from negative thoughts to happy ones. Researchers are unsure why positive thinking has such profound effects. But in addition to limiting C

stress-releasing hormones, positive thinking may inspire people to live healthier lifestyles that make them more likely to get routine physical activity and eat a healthy diet. Happy people also may be less likely to use tobacco products or alcohol as a coping mechanism when dealing with elevated stress levels, and such people will not have to deal with the side effects that can come with these unhealthy behaviors. Becoming a more positive thinker can take a little effort for those without a natural inclination for optimism. But because positive thinking boasts such significant health benefits, men and women might want to try the following methods to embrace their optimistic side. * Exercise. Start an exercise regimen, as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood. * Embrace humor. Surround yourself with others who bring a smile to your face. Look for ways to laugh as much as possible. Rather than go out to dinner or a bar with friends, head to a comedy club. Choose comedies at the movie theater and find humor in everyday happenings. * Identify areas that need change. Think about moments in life that may bring you down or inspire negative reactions. If work is problematic, figure out ways to make it better and work toward improving the situation. * Be supportive of yourself. Consider what you would say to others and then treat yourself the same way. Would you be overly negative or derogatory toward a complete

stranger? Probably not, and there is no reason to be harsh with yourself, either. Push negative thoughts away. * Volunteer. One way to see the world in a more positive light is to help others who may be less fortunate than you. Volunteering not only helps others, but it also can help you put your own problems in perspective. Volunteering also helps you feel good about your efforts, which can translate into positive thinking. * Think like a child. Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in the little things. Let children be the leaders in activities and mimic what they do. You just may find yourself laughing more and enjoying yourself. Being silly for a little while is one way to recapture the feelings of youth. Laughter. Laughter combined with positive thinking is a prescription for good health. Research shows laughter relaxes the entire body, relieving physical tension and stress for up to 45 minutes. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases infection-fighting antibodies. Endorphins that promote an overall sense of well-being and relieve pain can be released from a hearty bout of laughter. Furthermore, laughter can increase blood flow throughout the body, which protects against hypertension and heart attack Positive thinking is more than the subject matter of self-help books. It's a viable way to improve personal health and live longer. CAPTION: Laughter and positive thinking can be good for your health.

CORRESPONDENCE

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS ■ Point News The Annual St. Mary’s Picnic in Brussels was well attended over the week-end. So nice to meet up with old friends and visit awhile. Weather was great, food delicious and lots to see and do. On Sunday you may have noticed the family of Julie (Toppmeyer) Carnes all wearing t-shirts with photos of Julie on and announcing that she was celebrating the “Big 50” that day. Hope you had a wonderful day Julie and the year ahead great in every way! Week-end visitors of Francis & Liz Toppmeyer were John and Julie Carnes, Hannah, Lydia and Caleb and Todd and Jane Mandernach and Wyatt. Lisa Heffington joined Liz, Julie, Jane, Hannah and Caleb early Sunday morning to help the rest of Elaine Eberlin’s committee with making dumplings for the church dinner, which by the way were delicious! John attended church with me Sunday morning and later we all enjoyed dinner at the picnic, along with Don Funk and Pat and Vera Droege. Rae and Jean Payne of Bloomington and Phil Held, Jared and Jordan were visitors of Bob and Bonnie Held over the week-end. They also assisted with

frying of the fish and chicken at the picnic. I know the extra help is always appreciated. Those of you who own a classic vehicle or like to look at old cars, the Edwardsville Police Department will be hosting their 23rd Annual D.A.R.E. Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show at the Edwardsville High School this Sunday, August 17. Registration begins at 8:30 AM and the show kicks off at 12 noon. Food, vendors and live music will be throughout the day. Rain date will be August 24th. Rosalyn Beardan, Asset Manager for the Illinois Housing Development Authority in Chicago visited the South Calhoun Retirement Center on Friday for their annual inspection. Property Manager Susan Haug-Kinder, along with Vice President Anita Baecht, Treasurer Carol Sue Carnes and Board Member Vera Droege were present. After the inspection was completed Rosalyn, Susan and myself enjoyed lunch at Wittmond’s. Happy to report all went well. The Brussels High School “Class of 1954” will be holding their 60 year class reunion on Saturday, September

by Carol Sue Carnes ■ 883-2333 6, at the Point Pleasant Winery in Golden Eagle. Everyone to arrive around 12:30 p.m. and eat at 1 p.m. The afternoon will be set aside for visiting and reminiscing. Looking forward to seeing all of you. With everyone busy setting up stands, preparing the dining room and baking and cooking the past week for the picnic, no one had any extra time to do anything else so “news” is short this week. Hopefully I will have more to report next week. Birthday greetings this week to my daughter, Shelly Scherer, grandson Caleb Carnes and granddaughter Madison Axford, also Larry Hattemar, twins Jerrica and Jacob LaMarsh, Doris Tepen, Vern Kinder, Mason Caselton, Tom Schulze, Keith Kinder, Barb Tepen, Brooke Pohlman, Charlene Haug, Mary Kay Wieneke, Kurt Pohlman and all others celebrating their natal day at this time. Happy Anniversary to Keith and Carol Pohlman and all other couples celebrating a wedding anniversary this week.

Could we please have prayers for my wonderful brother-in-law, Deener Schumann, and his kids and grandkids. Deener had a bad spell over the weekend, but was some better Sunday. Prayers will be a big help. Thank you. Kampsville’s annual Gala is Saturday, August 16, with fireworks at dusk. Come on down or up whichever may be the case and have a great day and even greater night. Schedule of events can be obtained on the grounds. Class of 1954 - yes I mean 1954, had a typo in one of my columns. Have to bear with me; I am not as young (really??) as I used to be. Anyway, our reunion will be September 5, 5:30 PM, at the Kampsville American Legion Post 1083, located in Kampsville’s Old School. Please either let Lavonne or me know so that I can get the food ordered. Questions - call 618-6534426.

Happy second birthday to great grandson, Sawyer Jackson last Friday. We enjoyed dinner with him, Charlotte, Sarah, Mary and Lydie, Becky and Sarah’s brother-in-law and sister-inlaw last Saturday at Louie’s. Devin Hayn our loyal handy man was on another float trip vacation last week. I keep telling him he is going to get wet, but he doesn’t seem to mind. We only have him two more weeks and then off he goes to college. I will miss my cute little slave. Following in for is for those who ask. If you aren’t interested skip over. I have been doing pretty well. Just get so terribly terribly tired. I eat and drink like a horse, so doctors don’t have to worry about me losing weight. Am going Tuesday for blood and x-rays and then next Tues to find out what is going on with my constant companion. Crossed fingers and toes please.

I am like a woman without a country. My printer won’t work and my Facebook still won’t work correctly. Used to spend a lot of time on both, but have had to just sit and pout the past couple weeks. Got a call from Rusty Saturday evening and he was on his way to Reed’s school to meet Sonya and Ross for the weekend. They are helping Reed get settled in his dorm room. I remember when Grandma Carol and I took our red car and traveled to NC to help with Reed, who had just honored us with his presence. After a week we decided our husbands needed us worse than Sonya and baby Reed. They seemed to be doing just fine. And how was your week???? See you next week.

nephew, Andrew Wieneke. Andrew also visited with them after lunch. Hunter and Gage Thorton were in Sparta shooting for A.I.M.S. Both boys did very well. They are the grandsons of Terry and Mary Lou Klocke. Great job boys! Brad and Cindy Klocke attended and watched the Rams practice Tuesday at Rams Park in Earth City. They had a great time. Sunday visitors of Geneva Heffington were her granddaughters, Ellen Nichols and daughter Taylor, Emily Heffington of Springfield. They brought a carry from St. Mary’s Picnic. Geneva said it was very good. Last Saturday there was a Kirn Reunion at the Brussels Legion. Lots of relatives were there. They had a nice visit. Bitzy Dorhauer, Elsie Kirn’s daughter and her family were up for the reunion, and also the Meppen Picnic. When Bitzy left, her daughter, Abby Mae, stayed with Elsie for a couple of days. Tuesday evening Abby’s Uncle Greg Franke barbecued for them and Geneva Heffington, Bernie Snyders, and her granddaughter, Page. They had a good meal, played some games, and talked about old times. Delmar and Barb Bick and their whole family, and Lindy and Martha

Bick and Katie, and Tony Hillen took a trip to Montauk State Park. They had a good time. The Fallfest at Batchtown is Sept. 22 in town. It will be a lot of fun, with a children’s parade, food stands, baked goods, local vendors, music, and lots of surprises. All proceeds are used for the town park including playground equipment, and other needed equipment. The Batchtown Womans Club will meet Wednesday August 20 at the Fill Inn Station in Batchtown at 7:30 p.m. Jean Tepen is the hostess and chairperson. The program is on Veteran’s Affairs. Members are to bring school supplies. The Modern Woodsman of America will have a chicken dinner at the Fill Inn Station from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

■ Summit Grove News by Martha Narup ■ 653-4306 Sympathy to Carol Weishaupt’s family, Carol passed Sunday after a long battle with cancer. We received over 5 inches of rain last week. Birthday greetings to Morgan

Pillar, Bo Gresham, Leroy Bland, Henry Bland, Geneva Heffington, and Redeye Schumann. Redeye you caught up to me.

Passage Norma Woodbridge The clock on the wall keeps ticking, The sands of time fall fast, One moment, then another, The years are running past. I give them all to Jesus, He has led in pastures green, Giving shelter, rest and comfort, Hope of Heaven, calm, serene.

Six young adults to paddle from Chicago to Alton with Paddle Forward Six young adults will canoe the Illinois River this September to engage students across the basin in watershed education. Minneapolis, MN Wild River Academy (WRA) will embark on its annual Paddle Forward canoe expedition this September on the Illinois River Their upcoming journey on the Illinois River continues Paddle Forward’s mission to engage K-12 students in place based watershed education along America’s great water trails. Every fall, Wild River Academy paddles a major tributary of the Mississippi River under the name Paddle Forward to bring attention to rivers and to encourage educators to use this trip as an educational tool in the classroom. The Illinois River was an obvious choice as the next river for Paddle Forward to tackle, given its commercial and agricultural importance to the Midwest. It also holds a special place in the hearts of WRA leaders Anna Johnson and Nick Ryan. They both grew up in suburban areas surrounding Chicago. Nick speaks fondly of past experiences on the Illinois River, “I learned how to water ski on the river, and I’m looking forward to seeing the river from the meandering perspective a canoe provides.” Anna Johnson will bring an unmatched curiosity and energy to the trip as a trip guide/ leader, enhanced by her passion for river health and policy. She is looking forward to seeing the ways in which human society intersects with the river. While the annual fall Paddle Forward trip does not physically take K-12 students down the Illinois River, it casts a wider net by utilizing adventure-learning techniques to reach schools across the country through an online medium. River Ambassador schools can follow the trip online, incorporate WRA curriculum into their classrooms, send questions and comments to the expeditioners, and even request the paddlers to stop by their school or town in person. Registration is free at www.paddle4ward.com/signup/ to follow this expedition in your classroom.

Follow the paddlers on Wild River Academy’s Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The sixperson expedition will launch from Chicago on Sept. 9, stopping in river towns enroute to Alton to meet with locals and learn about the river. This expedition is a unique opportunity to draw attention to the river and its significance to the people who live near it. Paddle Forward expeditioners will be coming through your town. Please send an email to Paddle@wildriveracademy.com if you are able to give tours, meet with the paddlers, and host them in your community. or contact us: Wild River Academy, 2751 Hennepin Ave. S. #254,Minneapolis, MN 55408.

IDNR announces 2014-15 Waterfowl Season dates The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced Aug. 7 proposed waterfowl season dates and bag limits for the 2014–15 seasons. The recommendations include 60-day duck seasons in each of the state’s four waterfowl hunting zones, along with Canada goose hunting seasons of 90 days in the North and Central zones, an 85-day Canada goose season in the South Central Zone, and a 66-day Canada goose season in the South Zone. Goose season lengths are shorter in the South Central and South zones to coincide with duck season dates and match hunter preferences. The Illinois seasons are based on a five-year plan for waterfowl hunting season dates that was developed in 2011 and continues through the 2015–16 season. For 2014–15, Illinois will open the regular duck, Canada goose, and snow goose seasons on Oct. 18 in the North Zone, Oct. 25 in the Central Zone, Nov. 8 in the South Central Zone, and Nov. 27 in the South Zone. White-fronted goose seasons open Nov. 3 in the North Zone, Nov. 19 in the Central and South Central zones, and Nov. 27 in the South Zone. The proposed daily duck bag limit is six (6) and may include no more than four (4) mallards (two hens), three (3) wood ducks, three (3) scaup, two (2) redheads, two (2) pintails, one (1) canvasback, one (1) black duck, and one (1) mottled duck. The proposed daily bag limit of mergansers is five (5), only two of which may be hooded mergansers. The possession limit for ducks and mergansers is three times the daily bag limit by species and sex. Canada and white-fronted goose daily bag limits will be two (2) with a possession limit of six (6). The snow goose daily bag limit is 20 birds, with no possession limit. Illinois’ regulations are subject

to final approval by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service later this summer. The IDNR 2014–15 season dates are outlined below. Illinois Waterfowl Season Dates - 2014–15

White-fronted Geese: Nov. 27 – Jan. 31 The Illinois waterfowl zone maps are available on the IDNR website at http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/ hunting/waterfowl/Pages/.apsApprovedWaterfowlZoneLines.aspx The September 2014 early Canada goose season is Sept. 1–15, with a daily limit of five (5) and a possession limit of 15 geese in the North and Central zones, and a daily limit of two (2) and a possession limit of six (6) geese in the South Central and South zones. Illinois’ 16-day 2014 statewide teal hunting season is Sept. 6–21, with a daily limit of six (6) and a possession limit of eighteen (18). Shooting hours for the September teal season are different from the regular season, starting at sunrise (½ hour later than regular season) until sunset. Spring Conservation Order snow goose season will begin the day after the close of regular goose season in each zone and run through March 31. There is no daily bag limit on snow, blue, and Ross’ geese during this season. Additional details on the duck, goose, and other migratory bird hunting seasons will be available on the IDNR website at www.dnr. illinois.gov and in the 2014 Illinois Digest of Waterfowl Hunting Regulations, available in September. Illinois will begin to develop a new five-year plan for waterfowl zone lines and season dates for the 2016–2020 seasons following the 2014–15 waterfowl season. Hunters should look for opportunities to engage with the Department to help identify hunters’ preferences for season dates and zones.

Plan a botanical-based vacation Vacationers look for various amenities when planning trips. Some may have visions of a relaxing beachside retreat, while others desire a little more action and nightlife. Still, others may want to see sights and immerse themselves in culture. But some vacationers aim to soak in the botanical beauty that a specific city or region has to offer. Elaborate gardens are on display in locales across the globe. But you may not need to travel so far to experience the awe of nature. Chances are there is a beautiful botanical garden close to home. But those who want to travel and take in some of the world's more famous gardens should remember to include the following spots. * Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, NiagaraFalls, Ontario, Canada: While visitors to this famed region may be anxious to take in the views of the awesome falls, these gardens should not be overlooked. The gardens encompass 100 acres of manicured beds and other plantings. The grounds are maintained by students from the park's horticultural school and are a 10-minute drive from Horseshoe Falls. * San Francisco Botanical Garden, San Francisco, Calif.: This garden boasts more than 7,500 plant species. Visitors can also take in the awe-inspiring redwood trees while traversing the Redwood Trail to discover more about the world's tallest living trees. * New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, N.Y.: Visitors flock from all corners of the world to take in the famous sights of New York City. While the Empire State Building or the Theater District are popular attractions, the New York Botanical Garden is a

sight to behold, with 50 gardens and collections that feature more than one million plants. * Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina: The Biltmore Estate is a "Guinness Book of World Records" holder as the world's largest single-family home. The house, built by George W. Vanderbilt, may be impressive but so are the 75 acres of landscaped gardens and the attached winery. Several reflecting ponds and a 20-acre azalea garden are included in the layout. * Butchart Gardens, Brentwood Bay, British Colombia, Canada: These gardens are an example of a land reclamation project, having been built on a former quarry. Now they boast 700 varieties of plants that bloom from March to October. * Powerscourt Gardens, Enniskerry, County Wicklow, Ireland: The grounds, waterfalls, pavillions and treelined arbors remind visitors of Italian Renaissance properties and the great estates of France and Germany. The gardens were designed in the 18th century and continue to beckon thousands of visitors every year. * Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, Papaikou, Hawaii: These tropical gardens feature more than 2,000 tropical species across a 40-acre valley. The gardens necessitated the clearing of a formerly impenetrable jungle, and the massive job took eight years to complete by hand. Trails now wind their way through the jungle and hard lava rock. Experiencing the beauty and inspiration of nature is as easy as visiting one of the many parks and botanical gardens across the globe.
