Cemetery victim of vandalism; grave lot prices rise By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The cemetery sexton approached the board about recent vandalism to a headstone at a grave site located in the cemetery on North Cemetery Road in Hardin. During a meeting Aug. 4, Phil Gress, cemetery sexton and former mayor, said the police are investigating the situation, noting the vandalism looks purposeful rather than an accident. “It’s a very, very large stone,” Gress said. “The base was pushed off of the concrete footing and the stone was toppled over.” He said there are tracks from what looks like a four-wheeler in the grass near the site of the grave. The grass is matted, he said, which suggests the vandalism occurred as recently as this past weekend. The stone, which would normally be upright, was found laying flat with the names on the front of the stone facing the dirt. Gress said the headstone was found off of its base stone, adding he does not

believe there is any major damage to the grave. It did, however, fall onto flower pots and other items near the site. He said Alton Memorial installed the stone and will be contacted to place it back on the foundation. He said the city should contact Squier’s Insurance for an estimate on the cost if there are any damages. Those who have any information on the vandalism that occurred near the end of July are encouraged to contact local law enforcement officials to report suspicions. This is not the first time vandalism has been noticed in the cemetery in Hardin. In September 2012, four tombstones were subject to vandalism in the cemetery. At the time, it was suspected more than one person was responsible for the vandalism, which was not believed to have involved a vehicle. Gress also suggested the board increase the cost for graves in the cemetery. Comparing prices with grave sites in surrounding counties, he said the cemetery has the lowest in a four-county

area. Sites may be purchased in twograve lots for $400, meaning $200 per grave.

“The base was pushed off of the concrete footing and the stone was toppled over.”

Phil Gress cemetery sexton and former mayor He said some two-lot grave sites nearby are $1,000. “The only reason I’m really concerned with raising it is because neighboring counties see how much ours are compared to where they’re at, and they’ll come over,” Gress said. The board approved to increase the cost per grave by $100 to $300 to remain competitive while also staying cheaper

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A worker’s compensation trust’s recent billing habits have local school districts searching for new options and dropping their contracts with the company entirely. During a meeting June 25, the Calhoun Community Unit School Board approved to enter into a contract with Mississippi Valley Insurance Cooperative (MissVIC) rather than remain with Workers Compensation Self Insurance Trust (WCSIT). The main reason to change providers was due to a series of retroactive bills from the company, meaning it was billing the district for payments as far back as seven years ago. “We received what they called an assessment for claims made back in the 2008-2009 school year and Michael Weaver/Calhoun News-Herald 2009-2010 school year,” Unit 40 Superintendent Kate Sievers said, noting Members of the JCH Wellness Center team from left to right Tina Leonard, Lisa Shrimpton, Kari Crawford, Marcia Turner, Christy the assessment was for Pyatt and Courtney Schroeder yank on a rope to pull a fire truck during a fundraiser for Isaac's Rays of Hope at the Jerseyville approximately $26,000. The incentive to remain American Legion July 26. Christy Lorschbach, Hardin resident, anchored the team which pulled the truck the farthest of all competiwith WCSIT allows for the tors at the event. The fire truck was full of water and weighed around 35,000 pounds, Lorschbach said. michaelrweaver.com

been done to what,” Haug said. The deadline to complete the work is December 2015, meaning the village is not in a time crunch to finish the project quickly. Bartlett and West is administering the grant for the village and Andy Vecellio, Bartlett and West representative, said the project has good progress and momentum for its stage in the process. The village received a $200,000 grant from the community development assistance program. In other business, the village: n Discussed purchasing a new air conditioning and heating unit for the water plant office. n Agreed to have Haug put together a prototype website for the village. n Approved a $7,900 roof bid for the senior citizens center from Paul’s Roofing. n Tabled discussion and approval of an ordinance amendment for a water tap on fee to the next meeting. n Announced it would be flushing city hydrants Aug. 13 and 14.

than other nearby cemeteries. The village is also moving forward with its project to update its sewage and water lines with detailed maps, which are being transferred to a computer system. Public Works Director Jerry Rose and other city workers produced hand drawn diagrams of where Hardin’s water and sewer lines are laid throughout the town on 33 separate maps. The maps are being entered into a graphic information system (GIS), which can be accessed through computer software. The upgrade will allow the village to more accurately track the updates to the lines in the system by maintaining a living record of those changes in the computer system. Rose said the updates will be beneficial for his work and the future of the village. Mayor Matt Haug had a similar sentiment, noting he, too, looks forward to the completed project. “It’s going to be really handy to have something like this in place, and going forward we can keep records of what’s

payment of the assessment over the course of a three years, which would be a little more than $8,000 for Calhoun Unit 40 during that period. However, by leaving the contract early, the district must pay the full sum in a single lump. Sievers said this puts added strain onto the district’s finances as the $26,000 amount could be better utilized by the district. “This has a huge impact on the school district. That’s like a first year teacher’s salary,” Sievers said. “If you’re a larger school district, [it’s] maybe not [as big an impact], but we need every penny we can get.” The billing for years so far back is allowable due to the contracted agreement of all districts that are a part of the co-op. Sievers sought legal counsel on the matter only to learn the contract gave WCSIT the authority to retroactively bill its consumers. Calhoun Unit 40 isn’t the only district ending its contract with WCSIT. Brussels Community Unit (See, wcsit, A2)

Student health records Brussels’ teachers agreement still in flux required for attendance By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The bargaining agreement between the Brussels school board and the teachers union is still under negotiation following a special board meeting July 30. Superintendent Mark Martin said the district has been working out the finer details of the agreement. He said some of the issues revolved around the salary schedule for the teachers. The agreement would last two years.

“They said to the board, 'Here is what we see and a number of ways to improve things. You have to decide what you want to do.'”

Mark Martin Superintendent No action was taken regarding the teachers’ contractual agreement, Martin said, but negotiations will continue with the aim of finding an amiable resolution for both parties. After closed session discussion during the July 30 meeting, Martin said the board approved to fill the stipend position of boys basketball head coach and girls junior varsity basketball coach. Jeff Kamp will lead the basketball team while Ken Schleeper will take the reins of girls junior varsity team. During a meeting July 15, the school board discussed its options to improve the energy efficiency throughout the district to save some money, especially in regards to heating. During the frigid winter months this year, Martin said the district paid around $10,000 each month for January, February and March to keep its buildings heated for the students. The two main areas of concern were the industrial arts building and the gym, both of which use heating oil to keep the space comfortable in the winter.

Martin said the board is interested in solving its heating problems first and foremost while other projects take a back seat for financial reasons. “They said to the board, ‘Here is what we see and a number of ways to improve things. You have to decide what you want to do.’ So, that’s a work in progress,” Martin said. Upgrades to windows throughout the district are not a major energy concern, Martin said, noting nearly every window in the district was replaced within the past three years. “We’re in good shape with windows. Some of the doors need attention,” Martin said. “These are older buildings so insulation is probably not up to what it should be now, and our industrial arts building has been neglected for years. We need to do something with that.” The window replacement in 2012 also led to asbestos abatement for the schools as the hazardous material was found in the caulking of the windows while the work was being completed. He said preparing the district to conserve energy better during the winter months is the highest priority, and will likely be the focus of the board moving forward. Additionally, the high school test scores from last year met and exceeded goals set by the state. In fact, in both reading and math, 100 percent of students met or exceeded the standard. Martin said the statistic is aided by the size of the class that took the test, as there were only three juniors last year to take the PSAE. “There are three students in the class, and they are three very, very good students. … We’ll probably get investigated. Who knows?” Martin said with a laugh. The small class size could have been problematic as well, as even the smallest change in test scores could have had major ramifications for the district’s overall score. In other business, the district: n Discussed options for a weight room for district athletes. n Approved the fuel bid for the year, the price of which will fluctuate as gas prices change. n Approved the resignation of Jay Butler as the business teacher and approved to advertise for the position.

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herlad Before students return to school in a few weeks, they must comply with state-mandated health requirements, and district administrators are requesting the information be submitted to them as soon as possible. The forms must be turned into the school before the first day that classes start, otherwise the child will be excluded from classes until the complete heath record is on file with the district. According to information presented by the school nurse Lisa Dolan, all students entering pre-K, kindergarten, second grade, sixth grade and ninth grade are required to have a complete physical exam within one year of the start of

school. Pre-K and kindergarten students are required to have up-to-date immunizations. Students under the age of 5 must have proof they’ve been administered a pneumococcal vaccine and those entering kindergarten have to show proof of two doses of the Varicella vaccine. Kindergarten students must have a completed dental exam prior to May 15, 2015 and an eye exam before Oct. 15. Second grade and sixth grade entries also require an eye exam. Incoming sixth graders and ninth graders have to show proof of a Tdap vaccine regardless of the interval since the previous one. Those who are attending school between sixth and twelfth grades that have no provided proof of the Tdap (See, records, A2)

(Continued from A1) School District 42 also terminated its agreement with the worker’s compensation insurance company. Superintendent Mark Martin said it was retroactively billed for $11,000 in an assessment for previous years, as well. He said the billing did not sit well with the board, which ultimately terminated the contract with WCSIT. For a district of Unit 42’s size, he said the bill may be smaller, but the expense is a large hit to the district’s overall budget. “It just seems like lately we keep getting hit with bills,” Martin said. “It definitely does not help. Things are so doggone tight right now – not with just us; everybody – you don’t need these surprise, out-of-the-blue bills.” He said districts do their best to budget and anticipate their expenses, but bills like that from WCSIT can throw a wrench into those plans. The Unit 42 board approved an agreement with Hartford for its worker’s compensation insurance. Martin said the district lost its catastrophic insurance as a result of leaving WCSIT, as well, and said the board is still looking at its options in regards to such an insurance plan.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex or national and ethnical origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and school administered programs. St. Norbert School also has an Asbestos Management Plan that is on file in the principal’s office and is available during the normal business hours in accord with Federal regulations.

School District 100 and Carrollton Community Unit School District 1 also have had similar retroactive bills to pay for WCSIT. District 100 received bills for the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years in the amount of $178,000, and its school board expressed interest in terminating its contract with the company when it is next possible. WCSIT still has the authority to bill district’s retroactively for services it rendered while the district was under contract, meaning that even though the agreements have been terminated, districts may still receive bills in following years from the trust. For Calhoun, MissVIC offered a higher amount of coverage – $25 million – for around the same price as WCSIT. The cost was approximately $66,000 for MissVIC compared to WCSIT’s $76,000. That expense is negotiable. During the June 25 meeting, Sievers said the district uses MissVIC for its health insurance and notes the worker’s compensation pool has an $11 million reserve, an advantage MissVIC has over other insurance agencies. That reserve is used to absorb some of the increases in costs to insurance during problem years, she added at the June meeting.

Vaccines are not just for kids n Illinois among states showing significant increases in vaccination Immunizations are one of the top 10 public health accomplishments of the 20th Century according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During August, National Immunization Awareness Month, Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck encourages people to speak with their health care provider, not only about vaccines needed for children, but for adults as well. “Vaccines are an important step in protecting against serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases,” said Dr. Hasbrouck. “Vaccines are recommended throughout our lives. They are proven to protect children from 14 serious diseases before they turn two years old, adolescents from cancer caused by certain types of HPV, young adults from meningitis, people of all ages from flu, and aging populations from various illnesses.” Each week during National Immunization Awareness Month, IDPH will highlight vaccinations for a different population on Facebook at IDPH.Illinois. While immunizations have significantly reduced the incidence of many serious infectious diseases, vaccination rates for some diseases are not meeting national public health goals. However, Illinois is making strides in increasing vaccination coverage. Illinois is one of only five states that showed a significant increase (12 percent) in one or more doses of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine coverage in girls from 2012 to 2013, and one of only four states with a significant increase (almost 13

percent) in three or more doses of HPV vaccine. Illinois has undertaken several initiatives that have contributed to increased HPV vaccination coverage, such as working with health care partners to discuss and facilitate HPV vaccination health promotion activities and interventions, providing physician HPV vaccination training, and conducting provider assessment and feedback visits focused on increasing vaccination coverage. To help prevent illness and outbreaks due to vaccine-preventable diseases, Illinois is implementing new immunization requirements for the 2014-2015 school year. Beginning this year, children entering school at any grade level (kindergarten through 12) need to show proof of having received two doses each (instead of just one) of rubella and mumps vaccines. In addition, any child entering kindergarten, sixth grade or ninth grade for the first time shall show proof of having received two doses of varicella (chicken pox) vaccine. For the following school year, 2015-2016, students will need to show proof of having received a meningococcal vaccination, something that is currently not required. For school entrance, students must show proof of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus influenza type b, hepatitis b, varicella and pneumococcal (depending on age) vaccinations.

We all know that work can sometimes be mind-numbingly boring, difficult to the point of frustration, and stifling to the soul. But, it can also be exciting, provide a sense of accomplishment, and allow us to serve God by serving our fellow man. So, how do we ensure that we have more of the latter and less of the former? There is considerable evidence that what makes workers happy is a sense of agency, the sense that they are effective at what they are doing and that it is worthwhile work. What this really boils down to is doing something that you are good at. So, if you're in a job or career that you don't feel particularly suited to, you're probably not feeling great about your work. In that case, you should probably either retrain for a different job or work on the skills that will make you more effective in your current job. God has given all of us specific talents, and if we can incorporate those into our work we are bound to be happier and more effective. But, even if you aren't particularly good at what you do or happy where you work, do your best to put on a happy face each day at work. Sometimes happiness at work, like happiness in life, is just a choice that we make.

Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

Colossians 3:23

Fifteen members of our family spent last week in French Lick, Indiana where we stayed at the French Lick Resort Villas. Fun activities during the week included a 2-hour ride on the Indiana Scenic Railway, complete with a “Wild West HoldUp” performed by the “Lost River Renegade”, horseback riding at the resort ranch, touring the beautiful West Baden Springs Hotel originally built in 1902 and dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World” for its 6-story domed atrium, the largest free standing dome in the world, an evening at the Casino for the adults, a tour of the French Lick Winery, sight-seeing in the area and also a legendary Pluto Mineral Bath at The Spa. Many meals were cooked in our villas but several nights we enjoyed dining at Larry Bird’s Restaurant “33 Brick Street” as well as the renowned Donald Ross Country Club on the golf course. In our spare time the pools, both outdoor and indoor, were most relaxing. The group included myself, Dennis and Shelly Scherer of O’Fallon, Mo., Trevor and Cyndi Axford, Madison and Mackenzie of Chesterfield, John and Julie Carnes, Hannah, Lydia and Caleb of Edwardsville and Tommy and Ashley Keppler and Noah of Wentzville. Marie Held returned last Sunday after spending 10 days in Taylorville as a guest of her daughter and family, Barb and Kerry Ward and Patrick. While there she celebrated her 94th birthday. Many more “happy and healthy ones” Marie! Rev. John Siedschlag and daughter Joi of Watertown, Wis. spent several days in the area visiting his former parishioners. Rev. Siedschlag

Afterwards a brunch was held at the home of Shawn and Connie Clark with all the immediate family in attendance. God’s Blessings to Jace and his family. Margaret Carnes and grandson Kevin Carey spent July 26 and 27 in Chicago where they enjoyed the Cardinals-Cubs game at Wrigley Field Ballpark. The evening of July 25 they were overnight guests of Kevin’s Uncle Scott and Aunt Kate in Pittsfield and the following morning joined others aboard the Quincy Bus Lines. On Saturday night the group stayed at the Marriott Suites and before returning home on Sunday enjoyed shopping at the Outlet Malls. They report a great time with the Cardinals winning. The Meppen Picnic was well attended over the weekend, the weather great and the food (both Saturday night and Sunday) delicious. Always nice seeing and visiting with old friends. This coming weekend is Brussels Picnic (Aug. 9 and 10). Beginning at 5 PM food will be served and various activities will be held on the church

grounds. On Sunday the serving of their family style chicken and beef dinner, games, Country Store, etc. to enjoy. Hope to see you there!

There will be raffles, vendors, food, bar-b-que cook-off and two bouts of wrestling. Tess has a rare brain disorder. She is the daughter of Stan and Carol Drainer of Jerseyville and granddaughter of Joe and Carol Stepanek of Brussels. Deepest sympathy to the family of Jerome Toppmeyer who passed away on Friday evening at the Highland Health Care. Visitation was on Monday evening at Hanks-Gress Funeral Home in Brussels and funeral on Tuesday morning at St. Joseph’s Church in Meppen.

Illinois’ top doc issues five health tips for the State Fair and other festivals If you’re planning to visit the state fair, or any other outdoor summer festival, Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck offers the following five health tips. “We want people to enjoy their visit to the state fair, as well as other outdoor events. These tips will help everyone avoid some of the more common hazards associated with the summer season,” Dr. Hasbrouck said. #1 Wear sunscreen: Applying sunscreen is a quick and easy thing to do, and all skin types need protection from the sun. For the most effective protection, be sure to apply your sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and then reapply every two hours. Unprotected skin can be damaged by the

sun’s harmful rays in as little as 15 minutes, yet it can take up to 12 hours for skin to show the full effects of sun exposure. Wear a sunscreen with at least a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher, and one that has both UVA and UVB protection. #2 Stay Cool: Sunburn and heat exhaustion are the most common heat-related conditions. However, prolonged heat exposure can lead to heat stroke, which can be fatal. A person can suffer from heat exhaustion or heat stroke after spending too much time in the heat, indoors or out, or from overexposure to direct sunlight. Along with increasing your intake of fluids, wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Also be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaus-

tion and heat stroke. A person suffering from heat exhaustion will be sweating heavily and their skin will be cool and wet. Symptoms also include dizziness, nausea, or a flushed complexion. If these symptoms are present, move the person to a cooler place; remove or loosen tight clothing; apply cool, wet cloths; and give cool water to slowly drink. A person suffering from heat stroke will have hot, dry skin, hallucinations, chills, high body temperature, confusion/dizziness, a throbbing headache, and slurred speech. If a person is suspected of having heatstroke, seek medical attention immediately. #3 Wear Insect Repellent: Protect both you and your family from mosquito bites

According to the 2014 Medicare Trustees Report released this week, the Medicare Hospital (Part A) Trust Fund is now solvent through 2030- (4) years longer than predicted last year. Additionally according to trustees the standard Medicare Part B premium will not increase in 2015 remaining $104.90. Drug Discount Telemarketing Scammers Charged in Illinois! In East St. Louis, Illinois, a grand jury indicted three Canadian citizens with defrauding older Americans. The defendants own and operate a telemarketing business that allegedly called Americans, and while implying that they were

affiliated with federal government programs, such as Medicare, led consumers to believe they needed to purchase a prescription drug discount card in order to keep their Medicare or social security benefits. The telemarketers would take bank information and charge a fee, usually $299, for these discount cards, which are available for free online. For most beneficiaries with Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, the discount cards have little or no benefit. More than 5,000 Americans were defrauded in this scam. Remember, if anyone calls and ask for bank account # or social security # it is most likely a scam. If your are having trouble paying for prescriptions, you can get help comparing Part D plans or see if you qualify for programs to help with drug costs by calling your local area agency on aging.

USDA announces additional food safety requirements, new inspection system The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a critical step forward in making chicken and turkey products safer for Americans to eat. Poultry companies will have to meet new requirements to control Salmonella and Campylobacter, and up to 5,000 foodborne illnesses will be prevented each year as a result of the New Poultry Inspection System (NPIS), an updated science-based inspection system that positions food safety inspectors throughout poultry facilities in a smarter way. "The United States has been relying on a poultry inspection model that dates back to 1957, while rates of foodborne illness due to Salmonella and Campylobacter remain stubbornly high. The system we are announcing imposes stricter requirements on the poultry industry and places our trained inspectors where they can better ensure food is being processed safely. These improvements make use of sound science to modernize food safety procedures and prevent thousands of illnesses each year," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said. FSIS will now require that all poultry companies take measures to prevent Salmonella and Campylobacter contamination, rather than addressing contamination after it occurs. Also for the first time ever, all poultry facilities will be required to perform their

own microbiological testing at two points in their production process to show that they are controlling Salmonella and Campylobacter. These requirements are in addition to FSIS' own testing, which the agency will continue to perform. FSIS is also introducing the optional NPIS, in which poultry companies must sort their own product for quality defects before presenting it to FSIS inspectors. This system allows for FSIS inspectors to focus less on routine quality assurance tasks that have little relationship to preventing pathogens like Salmonella and instead focus more on strategies that are proven to strengthen food safety. More inspectors will now be available to more frequently remove birds from the evisceration line for close food safety examinations, take samples for testing, check plant sanitation, verify compliance with food safety plans, observe live birds for signs of disease or mistreatment, and ensuring plants are meeting all applicable regulations. The proposal was first published Jan. 27, 2012, and the modernization effort has been significantly informed by the feedback FSIS received from the public, as well as from interagency partners such as the Department of Labor. Specifically, USDA received numerous comments on the proposed rule related to worker safety, and it has partnered with the federal agencies responsible for worker

safety to address those concerns. In response to public comment, the maximum line speeds for plants that newly adopt the NPIS have remained capped at 140 birds per minute, consistent with the maximum speed under existing inspection programs. Additionally, all companies operating under the NPIS must maintain a program to encourage the early reporting of work-related injuries and illnesses, and FSIS employees will receive new instructions on how to report workplace hazards that may affect plant workers, including access to a confidential 1-800 number to report concerns directly to OSHA. FSIS estimates that the NPIS will prevent nearly 5,000 Salmonella and Campylobacter foodborne illnesses each year. Salmonella illnesses have remained steady, with some spikes, in the past ten years, while Campylobacter is the second most reported foodborne illness in the United States. This new inspection model is a key part of the agency's Salmonella Action Plan, unveiled in December 2013, which is the agency's blueprint for addressing Salmonella illnesses from meat and poultry products. Also included in that plan are revised pathogen reduction performance standards for all poultry, and first-time-ever standards for poultry parts, which consumers commonly purchase. These new standards are expected to be announced later this year.

– and the risk of West Nile Virus (WNV) – by ensuring that everyone has on insect repellent. Mosquitoes that typically carry WNV are stealthy biters and you may not notice them. Repellents found to be the most effective include those that contain DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535. #4 Drink Water: Make an extra effort to drink at least six to eight, 8-ounce glasses of liquids a day. Try to avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, as well as those with large amounts of sugar, since they may lead to dehydration. #5 Wash Your Hands: With everything from corn dogs to cotton candy to eat, and horses and hogs to see and pet at the fair,

you’ll want to make sure you properly wash your hands. Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Dry your hands using a disposable paper towel whenever possible. Turn off the water with a paper towel and then throw the towel away. If soap and clean water are not available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizing liquid to clean your hands. Alcoholbased hand gels significantly reduce the number of germs on skin and are fast acting. Following these simple steps can make your visit to the state fair a healthier and happier one.

Veteran hiring event nets 26 on-the-spot job offers Twenty-six on-the-spot job offers were made at this week’s Hiring Our Heroes event in Chicago. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) and Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) were primary sponsors. This success illustrates how well the state’s hiring portal, Illinoisjoblink.com, links employers with qualified workers to grow our economy. IDES’ modernized pre-registration efforts were key to the event’s success. The three organizations registered employers to attend and notified veterans of the opportunities. Armed with job descriptions and the veterans’ resumes, IDES leveraged its Illinoisjoblink. com help-wanted hiring website to pre-match worker resumes with employer openings. The coordination allowed 87 on-site interviews at the event, which occurred at the University of Chicago, Ida Noyes Hall, 1212 East 59th Street. The non-profit Hiring Event for Veterans also was sponsored by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, which is dedicated to increasing the number of veterans working in the philanthropic and non-profit employment sector. Additionally, 52 attendees spent time at the employment workshop aimed at helping veterans and transitioning service members leverage their military experience to achieve civilian career goals. The IDVA is a nationally recognized leader in veterans’ issues and support. As a state agency, it is dedicated to empowering veterans, as well as their

dependents and survivors, to thrive. The IDVA helps veterans navigate the complex federal veteran support system and assists them in obtaining benefits by providing long term health care for eligible veterans at four veterans’ homes and by working with other government agencies and non-profits to help veterans address education, mental health, housing, employment, and other challenges. For more information or to contact the IDVA about Veteran issues, please visit www.veterans.illinois.gov or call (800) 437-9824. Veterans are sought-after employees for non-profits and charities due to their service training, soft skills and experiences which include respect for authority, embracing responsibility and success in a team-based environment. Veterans and service members also have advanced training in fields ranging from technology and manufacturing to construction and logistics. A state income tax credit of up to $5,000 is available to employers for each qualified veteran they hire. Employers also might qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $9,600 through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. More than 160,000 help-wanted ads are on Illinoisjoblink.com, which also features a self-guided resume building tool. Once a resume is completed, the tool automatically will find help-wanted ads that match the individual’s skills. This keyword matching technology increases the likelihood of a successful new hire and compares favorably to private efforts that cost hundreds of dollars for a single advertisement. No-cost HR recruitment services also are at (877) 342-7533.

How to help kids transition back to the classroom just to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids' bodies can begin to readjust as well. n Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips. Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering their input. n Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids' progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when possible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids

when they finish a new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don't crack a book all summer. n Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged athletes get a head start on the new school year by trying out for sports teams. Such tryouts often commence a week or two before a school year is scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school year. But even nonathletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the first school bell of the year rings. Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings before the dawn of the school year, and such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year. The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting. But parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in various ways after a relaxing summer.

The dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends. For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school year draws closer. n Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids' lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly. Plan morning activities so kids can read-

Fishing, wildlife, dog shows, free entertainment and Smokey Bear highlight youth and family fun at Conservation World during Illinois State Fair Free activities and free entertainment for youth and families will give Illinois State Fair visitors a chance to sample great ways to spend time in the great outdoors in Illinois at Conservation World at this year’s state fair, on Aug. 8-17 in Springfield. Conservation World, the 30-acre park with grass, shade trees, and ponds, is located on the northwest corner of the Illinois State Fairgrounds. Conservation World is open to state fair visitors on weekend days (both Saturdays and Sundays of the fair) from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and on weekdays during the fair (MondayFriday) from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Conservation World is easily accessible through a pedestrian gate near the Junior Livestock Building, and via a state fair tram stop next to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) headquarters. “Free activities and entertainment for youth and families are a tradition at Conservation World, and we want Illinoisans of all ages to visit and make memories at the Illinois State Fair this year,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “We will show state fair visitors great ways for youth to spend time outdoors and enjoy outdoor recreation – all of which are part of Governor Pat Quinn’s initiative to the ‘Leave No Child Inside’ in Illinois.” Traditional free activities for youth at Conservation World include kids fishing clinics at the pond inside the Conservation World gate, with all bait and tackle provided; and, archery and BB gun practice ranges for youth are hosted by the IDNR Shooting Sports Development Program and the IDNR Safety Education Program. Featured free entertainment includes: n Green Acres Sportsmen’s Club Hunting Dog Demonstrations - North of Main Pond n Ultimate Air Dogs - The Ultimate Air Dogs are the premier dog dock jumping organization in the country n The Whip Guy Wild West Show - World-champion whip cracker Chris Camp performs daily shows at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

n Illinois Green Industry Association Outdoor Amphitheater - Free musical performances n Chainsaw Carving Demonstrations - Chainsaw carving team of Wendy and Mike Rhodes demonstrate throughout the day IDNR fisheries and wildlife staffs will host displays and answer questions about fishing and hunting prospects, habitat enhancement projects, and programs that are available to assist private landowners. Visitors to the Fisheries Tent can try to “Whack-a-Mussel” – a fun game teaching kids a way to stop aquatic invasive species. Members of the Illinois Bowfishing Association will be available to answer questions and will conduct demonstrations of fishing with a bow and arrow. The IDNR Division of Education will host “Monarch Mania” at Conservation World, with displays of live monarch butterflies, offering information about helping monarch survival, and providing activities for children. The first 10,000 families who pledge to plant milkweeds for monarchs will receive a packet of milkweed seeds. State fair visitors can purchase Illinois hunting and fishing licenses, get a photo and application for a FOID card, and learn about the duties of a Conservation Police officer at the IDNR Law Enforcement tent. The IDNR Division of Forest Resources invites state fair visitors to help celebrate Smokey Bear’s 70th birthday in 2014 with visits by the fire safety icon. Smokey Bear will tour Conservation World and pose for photos to remind those attending the fair of his famed message: “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.” Illinois State Fair admission includes free admission to Conservation World.

The right watering can make all the difference in a lush lawn Proper watering is essential when trying to restore or maintain a lush green lawn. If watered incorrectly, a lawn can be susceptible to a host of problems, including insect infestation, weak roots and disease. When watering a lawn, especially when temperatures start to soar in the summer, it's easy to think a lawn needs more water and needs it during those hours of the day when the sun is at its most intense. However, those are two common misconceptions about watering. The following are a handful of tips for homeowners who want to help their lawns endure the summer heat and maintain their lush appeal into the fall. n Water when temperatures are mild. In the summertime, humans typically need water when temperatures are at their most extreme, but that does not mean lawns should be watered when temperatures soar. Water attracts the sun, so watering when temperatures are at their hottest, which is typically around midday and into early afternoon, will likely lead to brown spots indicative of a burned lawn. That's because the sun will be drawn to the water, bearing down on the lawn and burning the grass as a result. When summer arrives, a lawn is best watered when temperatures are at their most mild. That often translates to early morning or early evening. An added benefit of watering when temperatures are on the mild side is less water will be lost to evaporation during this time, meaning you won't be wasting water. n Situate sprinklers to conserve water. Homeowners who won't be hand watering their lawns should make sure their sprinklers are placed properly throughout their property. Situate sprinklers so they aren't watering driveways, walkways or patios. All of the water should be going to the grass, especially when drought restrictions are in

place and the amount of watering the law allows is limited. It's also important to make sure water from sprinklers isn't being blocked from reaching the grass by trees. Homeowners with especially large trees on their property should consider hand watering the grass beneath such trees to ensure these areas receive adequate water. n Lean on mulch. Homeowners tend to fear drought for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that drought can cause a green lawn to turn brown, potentially affecting property value and robbing a landscape of its beauty. But there are ways to help the soil retain moisture when temperatures are especially hot and dry. Mulch around trees, flower beds, gardens and shrubs can help homeowners get the most bang for their watering buck. That's because mulch retains moisture, even when temperatures are especially hot. This helps foster stronger root growth and healthier landscapes that are less susceptible to disease and insect infestation. n Get to know your lawn. Several variables combine to determine how much water a lawn needs. Understanding these variables helps homeowners understand how much to water their own lawns. Local climate is a variable to consider, as is whether or not a lawn was fertilized (experts typically recommend a lawn be fertilized several times, beginning in the spring and ending in October). Soil type and grass type also help to determine how much water a lawn needs, and homeowners who need to determine the type of soil and grass on their property can consult a local lawn care center or landscaping professional. Proper watering can help a lawn survive the dog days of summer, and it's up to homeowners to learn the right techniques.

Easy PB & J Breakfast Tarts

Regional dishes featuring delicious peanut butter

FAMILY FEATURES

n kitchens, cafeterias and restaurants nationwide, our local food preferences may be unique, and our culinary traditions may be diverse, but we all share a common bond: a love for peanut butter. “Affordable, nutritious and of course delicious, peanut butter is a staple found in most American homes,” said Leslie Wagner, executive director of Southern Peanut Growers. “While some parts of the country prefer their foods hot and spicy, others prefer savory or sweet. But no matter where you go, families love making peanuts or peanut butter a key ingredient in their favorite recipes.” To celebrate the unique flavors from coast to coast, and to find the best hometown PB recipes, Southern Peanut Growers conducted its first “PB My Way” regional recipe contest. Peanut butter lovers nationwide submitted their recipes, from spicy stuffed peppers inspired by the Southwest to decadent chocolate bars in the Northeast. These are the top regional PB-powered recipes in our “United States of Peanut Butter.” For more recipes, visit www.peanutbutterlovers.com.
