Memorial softball tournament to honor murdered Manchester family By CArMEN ENSiNgEr Greene Prairie Press

A co-ed softball tournament has been scheduled at the White Hall Rez on Saturday, Sept. 6 to raise funds to purchase a memorial headstone for the victims of the Manchester

shooting last April. “This is going to be in memory of the Ralston-Luark family,” said Amber Goodall, who is the sister of Roy Ralston. “All proceeds raised will be used for the purchase of a tombstone at Pine Tree Cemetery where the family was laid to rest.” Six members of the family, who were living in the public housing units in Manchester, were gunned down during the early morning hours of April 24, 2013, by Rick Odell Smith, who was later shot and killed by police while attempting to flee. Roy Ralston, 29, his girlfriend, Brittney Luark 23, their two children, Nolan Ralston, 5, and Brantley Ralston, 1, were the victims along with Luark’s unborn baby girl. Luark’s

grandmother, JoAnn Sinclair, 67, was also killed in the attack. Kassidy Ralston, now 7, was the only survivor of the massacre. “All five of the Ralston-Luark family are buried together, but we’ve not had the funding to get them a stone,” Goodall said. “Because there are five of them, it’s going to have to be a pretty big stone to get all their names on it.” Sinclair is buried at a separate location. Both Ralston and Luark graduated from North Greene High School and lived in Roodhouse until one year before their murder when they moved to Manchester with Sinclair. Goodall said they decided on a softball tournament because of her brother’s love of sports. “They were both really big into sports and they started to put their kids into a lot of sports,” Goodall said. “My brother played baseball all the way up until he went to college.” So far, the response has been very good. “I’ve had at least five teams respond and say they are going to participate, so far,” Goodall said. “We’ve also had a lot of people give us donations to be put into our raffle and silent auction.” In fact, Goodall said the original plan was to raffle the items off throughout the day, but the overwhelming response of donations made her rethink things. “If I tried to raffle off every item we had, we would be here all day,” Goodall said. “I think that would be a bit too much, so we decided to raffle some of them and then hold a silent auction for the rest.” There will be plenty of food available including barbecue pulled pork, pork chop (See, tournament, A2)

School Facilities Tax could benefit Greenfield By CArMEN ENSiNgEr Greene Prairie Press

News from the pews. See page A4

With the November election just around the corner, school districts are banking on residents approving the County School Facility Tax to bring much needed funding into the districts. The County School Facilities Tax referendum allows county voters to approve a sales tax of up to one percent to fund school facility costs. Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said the tax would be good for schools and good for people who pay property taxes. “This is the first shift away from schools having to rely on local property taxes to fund facility needs,” Bowman said. “Let’s say a roof went bad and needed replaced. This is a Health Life Safety issue and it’s such a big item the schools usu-

ally end up having to issue bonds and issue debt to cover that, and that debt goes right to the property tax rate which pushes up property taxes.” The money generated from the sales tax could be used to replace such high dollar items, thereby keeping the property tax rate level. Bowman said the County School Facility Tax was approved in 2007. Several counties in Iowa have already taken advantage of this alternative funding source. “They have some really good facilities in Iowa,” Bowman said. “Right now in Illinois we are struggling financially everywhere, and this is a way to help the schools without putting more burden on the property owners.” Bowman said the tax could even help the local economy by providing employment to local contractors on

projects falling under the scope of the tax. The money generated could be used for asbestos abatement, roof repair or window replacement, electrical upgrades, lighting, construction of a new facility. Each school is given a 10-year Health, Life Safety plan with items that need either replaced or repaired. Greenfield just completed its 10-year Health Life Safety plan and will begin a new one this year. “These are things which we must fix in order to stay in compliance,” Bowman said. “Rather than have to issue debt to make these repairs or replacements, which would probably drive up the tax rate, we would have dollars from this tax to make those repairs.” The tax would not apply to the sales of cars, trucks, boats, RV’s, drugs, farm equipment, services or

When it comes to the children, the North Greene community takes care of their own. This is evidenced by the completion of the 10th year of the summer lunch program.

Helping Hands Lunches Coordinator Helping Hands Lunches provides lunches during the summer months for students in the North Greene School District. “The number of students receiving free or reduced lunches during the school year is over 60 percent,” Helping Hands Lunches Coordinator Tammy Winters said. “For some of these kids, the meals they received at school were their main source of nourishment. Their need for nourishment doesn’t stop with summer break.”

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

It was with this in mind that Winters set about creating a summer lunch program 10 years ago. The lunches are free to any student in the North Greene School District. This year they prepared approximately 160 lunches daily over the course of eight weeks. The lunches

issue:

Bowman said the good thing about this area is that the communities support the schools. “That is one of the biggest positives we have going for us,” Bowman said. “Nobody likes anything that has the word ‘tax’ in it, but we also do support our children and grandchildren and think schooling is important.” Ultimately, though, the decision will be up to the county voters. “We just need to inform the public on this and let them make their decision because I think the more people who are informed on what this really is, it will pass,” Bowman said. “I really think this is something that people around here will surely realize is a good thing.” For Greenfield, the tax could provide an additional $134,262 to the district.

unprepared food from a grocery store. In Greene County, the tax will affect mainly restaurants and gas stations. “If you pay $7 for your lunch, you will see an additional seven cents tacked on with this tax,” Bowman said. “If you spend $50 putting gas in your tank, you will be paying an additional 50 cents, which would go to the schools.” It will also be a good way to bring in funds from outside the county. “If you have someone driving through town and they stop and eat and get gas, they are going to pay this tax the same as you and I,” Bowman said. “Overall, I don’t think most people will even notice the tax except maybe the property tax owners when they get their future tax bills.”

White Hall FBC offering After School Program By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press First Baptist Church of White Hall is once again offering an after school program for children in kindergarten through eighth grade in the North Greene School District. The program was started last year to help make up for the loss of the after school program at North Greene, which had been operated through the school for many years. With state funding being cut more and more each year, the district did not receive the grant last year or this year to fund the program. “We, as a church, saw a real need for this program in our community once it was cancelled at the school,” Pastor Chad Hoesman said. “We are also looking for ways to fully fund the program and make it at ‘no cost.’” The program starts the first week of school and operates from the time school ends until 6 p.m. The North Greene District has agreed to drop students off at the church who are attending the program. Hoesman said the church will also be working with the early dismissal times and try to help parents on emergency days. “This gives kids a place to go

after school if their parents work late,” Hoesman said. “While they are here, we help them with their homework and we have a computer lab plus a full service kitchen and will be providing healthy snacks. This is a Christian-based program so there will also be a Christian activity involved along with craft and games, much like Vacation Bible School.” Cost of the program is $5 per child per evening and Hoesman said the staff will work with families who might only need their child to be there one or two days a week. “We are looking for ways to fund the program which will enable us to make it no cost to the families,” Hoesman said. “We’ll work with anyone with a need – they just need to let us know.” Tracy Dirksmeyer is director of the program again and they are still taking registrants. “We have staff enough for 30 kids, but we always welcome volunteers,” Hoesman said. “Especially for the special projects such as arts and crafts, help with homework and kitchen help.” If anyone would like more information on the program, they can contact Dirksmeyer at 217-3709615.

NG looking for special ed. resource teacher By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press North Greene School District is in search of a Special Education Resource Teacher following the resignation of current teacher, Cary Knox. The board convened in special session Aug. 7 to accept Knox’s resignation, effective Aug. 1. They then authorized North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens to offer employment to a properly licensed and endorsed Special Education

Resource teacher and a Physical Education teacher at the junior high following a 10-day posting period. Board members approved employing Amber Gilmore as a sixth grade self-contained teacher and reassigning recently hired Brandy Lawson as elementary Special education teacher for fourth, fifth and sixth grades. In addition, they employed Renda Stone as junior high science teacher and reassigned Sarah Coultas to a driver’s education teaching position.

Carrollton to implement new math program By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Students in the Carrollton School District will be taking a different approach to learning math this year after the district opted to change the text series it uses for the district math programs. In May, the district approved the purchase of new McGraw-Hill education resources for grades K-5; a Glencoe Math series for students at the middle school and new algebra and geometry texts for the high school. “The new resources align to the New Illinois Learning Standards and practice standards for mathematics, where our current materials are not,” Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox said. “The technology resources for instructional purposes both at school and at home are tremendous. Students will have online access at home to lessons, materials, games, reteaching videos, etc.” Dr. Cox said the lack of alignment to the New Illinois Learning Standards and mathematical practice standards was the primary impetus for change. “Students will be assessed based on these standards for state testing,” she said. “We have to give them the tools and resources to be successful.”

So do the teachers. “Teachers were also spending a tremendous amount of time supplementing our current materials, creating flipcharts and activities, etc., along with reworking the sequence of skills and strategies,” Dr. Cox said. “Without consistent implementation within and across grade levels, it is very easy that gaps of instruction can occur.” Total cost of the new math program to the district is $45,250. Broken down, the five-year subscription in grades K-5 is $23,697, while a seven-year subscription at the middle school level is $11,398 and the six-year subscription for the high school in algebra and geometry is $10,191. All costs include online eStudent editions. Dr. Cox said it was a very good price for what the district was getting, especially since it also includes $24,000 in free materials. “A lot of people are adopting this series,” she said. “We got a discounted price because several districts are working on this same series. We were spending $5,500 for K-2 consumables a year and we did not have the technology recourses for kids to use at home.” Students will be given a code to access the online components of the program while teachers will have a code to access the instructional resources.

Letter to the editor Thanks to everyone for supporting cheerleaders TO THE EDITOR: This past Friday night, the Eldred American Legion, along with a few very special people, hosted a quarter auction to help the Carrollton Hawk Cheerleaders raise money to buy a new Hawk mascot suit and to help pay for cheer camp and warm-ups. The cheerleaders would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Eldred American Legion for all the support that they give to the cheerleaders every year. A special thank you to Bernie Faul, Amy Jilg, Sue Reichmann and Chris Garner for all that they did to help make the auction a success. Bernie especially went above and beyond the call of duty by printing flyers and putting the baskets together for the raffles and for getting it all set-up and being the number caller for the event. We also want to thank Melissa Cox for all that she did to get the items collected. A big thank you to the people who showed up and donated items to help support us. There were quite a few who donated without leaving their names but you know who you are

and we really appreciate all of you. We couldn’t have done any of this without the community’s support. Thanks to everyone’s help, the auction raised $1420 and we are so grateful to all who helped. We also need to thank all of the businesses and individuals who donated money towards the purchase of the new Hawk mascot suit. Because of the generosity of those businesses and individuals and a little money from the auction, the new Hawk mascot suit has been ordered and should be here in time for Homecoming week. Again, the Carrollton Hawk Cheerleaders want to thank everyone who has helped us in any way with these fundraisers. If anyone’s name was omitted, it was not intentional and please know that we do appreciate you and we appreciate all that you do to support the Carrollton Hawk Cheerleaders. Thank you again.

Drag-O-Way Reunion just around corner By CArmEn EnsIngEr Greene Prairie Press What started out as a bunch of old guys gathering at Lion’s Park showing off their cars and talking about their racing days in the 1960s has grown into one of the most popular car shows in the area. The 12th Annual Drag-O-Way Reunion is scheduled to be held Sept. 6 at Lions Park in White Hall during this year’s Greene County Days. In its day, the White Hall DragO-Way drag strip was more or less legendary in this area, and some of its original founders decided 12 years ago they would like to bring back some of those fond memories they all shared back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The drag strip started out in Carrollton at the fairgrounds in 1959. It was moved to White Hall two years later where two clay tracks were built. In 1968, asphalt tracks were built. Brothers Paul and Neil Fansler and Don Nell were three of the guys who helped operate the track. By 1975, the guys had grown older, had families and the track was just too expensive to keep

running. For a period of two years the track was operated by another individual until it finally closed for good. Twelve years ago the guys were together and started reminiscing about the good old days of the drag strip and one thing led to another and in 2003 the first reunion was organized. Since that time, Paul Fansler has seen it grow bigger and bigger every year. “We started out with 60 cars that first year and as word spread it just kept growing and growing each year,” Fansler said. “Last year was our biggest year ever with approximately 225 cars on hand and we are expecting even more this year.” Fansler said he believes the popularity of the event stems from the fact that it is a 100 percent nonprofit event. “Every dime we make we donate back to the community to some charity or organization,” Fansler said. “Over the past 11 years we have donated over $23,000 back to the community and this year we are looking to donate another $2-$3,000.” So how can they continue to hold these events if all of the profit

is donated back? “It’s because we have excellent sponsorship,” Fansler said. “We have close to 85 sponsors this year. When the sponsors find out what we do with our funds they are on board with it, and if they do not have items to donate to us for prizes, sometimes they will give a cash donation.” Another unique feature of the event is that every woman and child will go home with a door prize. “We have been to a lot of these shows and we have never seen this happen before,” Fansler said. “We try to cater to the kids and the ladies.” Of course, there will be a lot more than just several hundred cool cars to look at. There will be games for the kids and adults including the ever-popular I Dood It game and racing celebrity, NHRA Top Fuel Driver, Larry Dixon, Sr. from Indianapolis. “This is his second year with us,” Fansler said. “He was so overwhelmed with what we do by donating all our funds back to the community that he wanted to be a part of it again this year.” Also making a return appearance will be Rocky the drug dog along

with his handler, Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison. This year Rocky is bringing some friends along for an exhibition set to begin at 1:30 p.m. “We had Rocky and Kyle here last year and it was an overwhelming success,” Fansler said. “This year Kyle has managed to get the Jerseyville and Litchfield squads lined up, and possibly Carlinville.” In addition to a 50/50 drawing, there will be a raffle for a vintage restored gas pump which is on display in the window of J & K Furniture in White Hall. Tickets are $5 each or three for $10. Registration for the car show begins at 10 a.m. Some of the entries will include race cars, hot rods, muscle cars and street rods, plus a variety of other unique vehicles. There is no entry fee and while there is no official judging that takes place, there will be four plaques awarded to those chosen for the Mayor’s Choice, Chief of Police’s Choice, Fireman’s Choice and Lions Club Choice. The event is free to the public and there will be food and drinks on the grounds along with plenty of shade. For more information visit www.WHDOW.org.

U of I Extension science sites for teachers As the school year approaches teachers looking for resources can find many websites and videos through University of Illinois Extension. What follows is a brief description of just of few of these sites. Earthquakes, volcanoes and glaciers are all powerful forces that work to shape our world. These forces have changed the world dramatically over time and are even at work today. The website Shake, Rattle and Slide http://urbanext. illinois.edu/earth/ allows students and teachers in 4th through 6th grades to explore the amazing science behind earthquakes, volcanoes and glaciers. Animations provide visual learning opportunities, and activities can be done in and out of the classroom The All-Star River Explorers http://urbanext.illinois.edu/rivers/ is designed to introduce students in 4th-6th grades to the basics of hydrology and increase their understanding of how rivers are formed and their importance in our lives. Activities will enhance student’s skills in math, science, language arts, social studies, and art. A popular river trivia game provides a fun way for students to learn. The Treehouse Weather Kids http://urbanext.illinois.edu/treehouse/ is designed for teachers and students in the 5th – 8th grades. It provides basic information on weather topics such as winds, mois-

ture, air pressure, seasons, and storms. Activities have been provided that are appropriate for classroom settings. Riding the Wind with Kalani http://urbanext.illinois.edu/kalani/ is designed for students in K-3 grades to gain knowledge about the weather. The site provides information on temperature, clouds, precipitation, lightning, thunder, and tornadoes. The student section of this site is designed for young readers to go through each screen and read the words or listen to the narrative. Animations have been provided to enhance the learning of weather processes. A story, Billy the Air Bubble and His Friends in the Air, is meant to be read to students. There are various coloring pages that accompany the story. All of these sites are also available in Spanish, while Riding the Winds with Kalani is available in several other languages. In addition, there are a series of You Tube videos that discuss weather processes such as why winds blow, how clouds form, how the earth is heated, and the greenhouse effect. Most of the videos are 2 to 3 minutes in length, and can be accessed at http://www.youtube. com/user/UIExtension. Other science sites can be accessed through the Schools Online section of the main University of Illinois Extension website http://web.extension.illinois.edu/state/index.cfm .

word has guidelines for all of us to live, Dismissed in prayer. Sunday evening: Prayer and singing. Bro. Baxter continued the message in Timothy 3: 7-16. No one is perfect, was only one perfect person and that was Jesus. We need to respect our leaders. The wives of pastors and deacons must be grave, no slander, sober, faithful in all things, as we member should also be. Great is the mystery of godliness, god was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory. We must strive everyday to be more like Jesus.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Rev, David Slagel, Pastor A wonderful week. We had rain, just what we needed. Not to much, just right. Crops all look real good so far. We had a good group at church. This is a message from Pastor David, “the torrential rains, his mighty torrential rains, serves as his signature to all mankind, so that men may know his work”. Job 37 6-7. Some one once gave me this definition of the so-called theory of evolution; it is believing that an explosion of nothing instigated by no one, accidentally resulted in everything. How foolish - thunder, lightning and even the torrential rains are his signature, for the heavens declare the glory of his handiwork. Thank you to the one who was so good to trim the bushes. They look nice. We had a short business meeting after church and filled in three trustee that we needed. It was decided that the roof needs repaired soon. The yard was mowed so nice. Think you tot he young man who took time to do that. We all appreciate it. Our prayer list is: Courtney Stevens, Gene Ridenbarh (knee surgery, but doing well so far), Ray and Patty Baldes, Susie Kiefer (so good to

have you back with us, you will be better), Ed Crabtree, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Vera Sprong, Debbie Gillis, Larry Phillips family, Shelia Chapman, Mark Smith, Ann Ford, Brenda Early, Velma Gillingham, and all our church families. The question for next week is, “Can you have too much sleep?” Prov. 24: 33-35. And another one, “Who had knocking knees?” Daniel 5: 6. We had a short blackberry crop. To cold a winter. The same with the peaches. I guess the summer will make it up in good corn and beans. Harvest time is on the way it won’t be long. I wonder if we realize that harvest time for the God’s people is on the way? There are a lot of us living on borrowed time. We praise God for that. There is no destination. Do you know that time has a way of moving quickly and catching us unaware of the passing years? Don’t let time pass you by and you wish that you had let Jesus been your guide. Walkerville is always there to help you any and all times. Jesus loves you and so do we. See you in church Sunday.

Hillview Baptist Church news Bro. Jason Holliman, Pastor Alice Ford, reporter Announcements: Business meeting will be held Wednesday evening. We had a baptismal service this evening. Praise God. Next Saturday at the Hillview Festival, the music group “Reborn” will be singing along with “Sisters of Glory” 12 noon till 3 p.m. “Reborn” is our pastor and his family.

On the second Saturday in September our next movie night we will be showing the movie “God is not Dead”. Anyone is invited and it’s all free. Message: I Peter 2: 1-5 We need

to have the desire to study the word of God. Worldly things will brings us down but by studying the word of God we will be lifted up. Deacons and elders of the church are expected to meet certain standards in the church, but we should all want to live up to those standards too. The word of God should be engrafted in us. We, as the church, should be the rock. We should not be a dead church. We are to be ready and tell others about Jesus Christ so they will be ready to meet the Savior. We are the stones to build the church of God. Are you telling others about Jesus? You are always welcome at Hillview. Hope to see you in church next Sunday.

IDNR recovering alligator snapping turtles The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) took the first steps in recovering the state-endangered alligator snapping turtle to its natural range in southern Illinois recently by releasing 97 turtles of various ages over three days. The alligator snapping turtle – the largest freshwater turtle in North America – has been rarely seen in Illinois for decades due to channelization, levying, and draining of floodplain wetlands. The release of turtles in muddy creeks in southern Illinois was part of a multi-state effort involving Illinois, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to recover or augment declining populations of the alligator snapping turtle. Funding for the recovery project is from a multi-state competitive State Wildlife Grant awarded to the three states by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The grant will cover the costs of long term monitoring and tracking of the released turtles, which have been equipped with radio transmitters. The turtles released in Illinois were produced by the Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery in Oklahoma, and they were paid for by donations to the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund, as well as a grant awarded by State Farm Insurance Companies to Pontiac Township High School science teacher Paul Ritter as part of the school’s Operation Endangered Species classroom initiative. As part of the release of alligator snapping turtles in Union County, Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS) staff recorded data about each turtle and affixed transmitters and iButton dataloggers to the turtles. The INHS staff was assisted with the turtle releases by staff from the IDNR Division of Natural Heritage, the Peoria Zoo, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale zoology students, along with students and staff from Pontiac Township High School and Whitney M. Young

Magnet High School in Chicago. “Recovering endangered species in Illinois, like the alligator snapping turtle, are important in that they increase biodiversity to areas where the species historically occurred, and they increase the likelihood that the species will continue to thrive in the Mississippi River basin,” said Scott Ballard, IDNR herpetologist and project leader. “This effort could not have occurred without all the partners assisting in this effort.” A large number of organizations are partnering with the IDNR to provide support for the multi-state recovery project:

n The INHS has been contracted to conduct the telemetry studies monitoring the released turtles in Illinois, and the INHS is providing all the transmitters and iButton dataloggers for the three cooperating states. n The Peoria Zoo has been holding older alligator snapping turtles for the past several years for supplemental releases by the IDNR. n The St. Louis Zoo has been breeding alligator snapping turtles from their captive colony to provide hatchlings that will be raised by various schools in Illinois as part of the Pontiac High School Operation Endangered Species effort until those turtles are large enough to release. n Other partners include the University of Illinois School of Veterinary Medicine, Missouri State University, Tulsa Zoo, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, University of Louisiana at Monroe, and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. n The Missouri Department of Conservation and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission facilitated permits to transport the turtles from the Tishomingo hatchery through their respective states.

Classroom success begins with breakfast Dairy and breakfast go hand in hand. With so many types of milk, cheeses and yogurts available, it's easy to find breakfast combinations that set the curve for success as the kids head back to school this fall. Children who eat a morning meal perform better in the classroom and have better overall nutrition. Research shows that kids who eat breakfast have better memory, attention and behavior, and score higher on tests. In addition to the wide variety of dairy foods that make school day breakfasts easy, dairy also gets an A-plus for nutritional and economic value. Dairy delivers a unique package of nine essential nutrients in a variety of tasty and affordable options. For example, one 8-ounce glass of milk delivers calcium, potassium and vitamin D and costs only about 25 cents. Recognizing the important role breakfast and dairy foods play for school children and their success in the classroom, dairy farmers and milk processors nationwide have organized the Great American Milk Drive, a Feeding America program to deliver gallons of milk to hungry families who need it most. To donate, text 'Milk' to 27722 or visit milklife.com/give. Meanwhile, to boost breakfast success for your family this school year, consider these tips: Keep breakfast foods on hand such as ready-to-eat cereals, yogurts, white and flavored milks, and fruit. Build a breakfast burrito bar. Prepare toppings such as shredded cheese, diced ham, tomatoes and olives the night before. In the morning, just

scramble eggs, warm tortillas and fill with your favorite toppings. Save money on dairy foods by buying milk by the gallon, cheese in block form and shredding it yourself, and plain, low-fat yogurt by the quart and stirring in your own flavorings, such as

Robustness and Resiliency 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. - Christopher Simon

Before Dale and I were married I stayed a few days and nights with my friend Dora Bauer and son Freddy while J.P. Bauer was in St. Louis attending a convention of owners of shoe stores. Dora had had the influenza and was not supposed to stoke the furnace. The man that J.P. had hired to do this didn’t show up, so I told Dora I would do this - I had learned this procedure long ago. Omah Bauer sent Opah (Mr. Fred) Bauer over with a pot of chicken and dumplings and her famous coffee cake. Freddy ate at the table with us, I did the dishes. We spent our time visiting. She told me of her courtship and wedding. Her hometown of was Gardner, Kan. The wedding was performed in a hotel - Chicago. Immediate family went by train and automobile. She showed me her trousseau also a gorgeous lounging pajama in shades of brown. I told her, Dora, I’m going to fix your hair and doll you up, J.P. will think you are Janet Gaynor (a movie star). I wore a leaf-green dress with tatting around the collar. It was a “Nellie Don” purchased at FLG Breyman’s in Carlinville. Dora had gone to school with the designer, Nellie Don, and also worked for her in her boutiques. Last week Debbi and Beth Fields enjoyed quality time with Breyer Teaney of Des Moines, Iowa and his aunt Tenna Teaney of Winchester. While the girls prepared luncheon, there was a bell ringing at my door. No, it wasn’t Santa and his reindeers, but Breyer with a plate full of his frosted brownies; aunt Teena had roasting ears. Breyer graduated from high school in Des Moines and was accepted at a university in Iowa. He intends to teach at the elementary age. He and his brother Kole are the sons of the late Randy and Tammy Dalton Teaney. Since the age of 12 the lads have made their home with Randy II and Naomi Taney in Des Moines. Aunt Teena had me play favorite songs of theirs - she is a personable lady and sings beautifully. With hugs and prayers they left. Naomi was going to meet them in Breyer’s vehicle today in Rock Island. He is tall quiet young man. Pam Armold has his second grade picture and will mail it to him. He always ran the sweeper and Kole dusted. It was Christmas vacation - 1939. Uptown Greenfield George E. Meng boasted a fine hardware store. The late Louis B.F. Meng, his sister Elta and mother were owners. I don’t believe she and Gillis Strang had married. Other employees were,

Virgil Bauer, Ed Hebner and Leo Faulkner. There was an enclosed electric lighted stairs to a cloakroom and a lodge room upstairs. This was used for Royal Neighbors reunions, banquets and dances - no alcohol or smoking. I had a gentleman friend, Merrill Hineman who was an engineer on the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. He came to visit me when school closed. It created quite a stir with Miss Eaton and my friends as he had a new black Chevrolet (1940). I introduced him and he took us for cokes. School was not involved in the following. Miss Eaton and Mr. Leo Faulkner were going to have an informal engagement party in the hall. It was to be a dance with local musicians. Fergursons, Joe Valentine, George P. Entrekin, Amol Greer. She verbally asked me and said, “Bring your young man.” Brian Hill and Willie Rives were invited also. Martin and Evelyn Roth (her neighbors) minor - Amy Barton (she ate at their restaurant) Chas brought his high school friend Hilda Jean Prather. Mr. and Mrs. Girhard were out-of-town. We took party favors and balloons. The only members of the Board of Education I remember were Mr. Leon and Mrs. Ella Middleton, Mr. Glen and Louisa Smith - they danced and filled in with the young couples. Tom and Jeanette Ford were engaged, Harold Ford and Lorena Arras, Dale and Eloise Blair Featherstone. She was a cousin of my friends Willard Hamilton and Olive Upton. We had fixed a monetary box to pay for Cokes, lights, etc. This we gave to honored couple Leo Faulkner and Barbara Eaton who were to be married June, 1941 and were.

Vintage gas pump being raffled Sept. 6

IDNR announces 2014-15 Waterfowl Season dates

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Members of the White Hall DragO-Way club are really pumped about the upcoming raffle held during the Drag-O-Way reunion, which is being held Sept. 6. The grand prize this year is a fully restored, vintage Martin and Schwartz Wayne Model 80 gas pump from the 1950s. Drag-O-Way member Dennis Cumby stresses the pump is not a replica and that it was completely restored by club members. “We have done all the work our-

“We purchased it from an individual near Scottville and completely tore it down and restored it.”

Dennis Cumby Drag-O-Way member

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

If there were any female mechanics in the 1950's - they might just look like Anna Gansz who poses next to this vintage, restored gas pump from the 1950's This gas pump is being raffled off by the White Hall Drag-O-Way and the winner will be chosen during their Reunion at Lions Park in White Hall on Sept. 6. Gansz was the perfect choice to pose for the pictures since her great grandfather, Charlie Coates, operated the Standard Station in White Hall from 1948 to 1966.

by Jack Roberts. Coates is the greatgrandfather of club member, Anna Gansz. “When we brought up the idea of having an attractive young lady standing beside it, someone mentioned Anna,” Cumby said. “As it turns out, it was a perfect fit because her greatgrandfather owned and operated the station right here in White Hall, so it was good to have that connection.” All of the money raised from the

raffle of the gas pump will go to charity. The drawing will be held at the Drag-O-Way reunion Sept. 6, and the winner need not be present to win. Tickets are $5 each, or three for $10. “It will look great in your game room, garage, or outside as a display piece or security light,” Cumby said. “It is currently on display in the window of J & K Furniture in White Hall and it looks really nice at night when it is all lit up.”

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 Regular Season Dates - 2014–15 North Zone Youth Hunt Duck Canada Goose 2014–15 Oct. 11 – 12 Oct. 18 – Dec. 16 Oct. 18 – Jan. 15 Central Zone 2014–15 Oct. 18 – 19 Oct. 25 – Dec. 23 Oct. 25 – Nov. 16 and Nov. 26 – Jan. 31 South Central Zone 2014–15 Nov. 1 – 2 Nov. 8 – Jan. 6 Nov. 8 – Jan. 31 South Zone 2014–15 Nov. 15 – 16 Nov. 27 – Jan. 25 Nov. 27 – Jan. 31 Illinois Snow Goose and WhiteFronted Goose Season Dates – 2014-15 North Zone Snow Geese Regular Season: Oct. 18 – Jan. 15 White-fronted Geese: Nov. 3 – Jan. 15 Central Zone Snow Geese Regular Season: Oct. 25 – Jan. 31 White-fronted Geese: Nov. 19 – Jan. 31 South Central Zone Snow Geese Regular Season: Nov. 8 – Jan. 31 White-fronted Geese: Nov. 19 – Jan. 31

South Zone Snow Geese Regular Season: Nov. 27 – Jan. 31 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/MapsApprovedWaterfowlZoneLines.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.

selves in restoring this beauty,” Cumby said. “We purchased it from an individual near Scottville and completely tore it down and restored it.” The process took about two months. “We tore it apart and everybody took individual pieces and parts home and worked on them in the evenings,” he said. “Then we brought it all back together for the final paint job and assembly.” The pump is all steel with a heavy steel frame and the porcelain clock faces are original to the pump. It has been stripped, sanded, primed and painted throughout, and the pump is wired so the globe and the clock faces are illuminated. The globe and porcelain signs on the doors are reproductions, however. Cumby said that all Model 80 pumps are identical and could be outfitted with any desired brand just by applying different paint and decals. They decided to make this one Standard Red Crown, the precursor to Amoco. White Hall had a Standard Station owned and operated by Charlie Coates from 1948 to 1966 and later operated

The Engel Farm will be the site for two Hummingbird Festivals scheduled for Thursday, July 17 from 4 to 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 17, 1 to 4 p.m. Scores of hummingbirds are expected to be present to “wow” Festival visitors. Vernon Kleen, a licensed hummingbird bander and associated with the Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders, will begin the festival with a short discussion about hummingbirds and explain why they are banded. After the discussion, hummingbirds will be captured and banded. There is no admission charge for this family event and visitors may stay as long as they wish. Visitors may also “adopt” a bird by making a $5 donation to the Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders. Donors will receive an attractive signed certificate, be given the privilege of releasing their adopted birds (if enough birds are captured), and will be notified if their birds are ever recaptured. If hummingbirds appeal to you, then plan on visiting the Engel Farm Hummingbird Festival. It should be a very rewarding experience. The festival may be reached by taking Rt. 267, turning east onto 2700N (which is 1 mile south of the Greene/ Morgan county line) for 2 miles, then north into the long driveway. Hummingbird Festival signs will be posted at Rt. 267 and 2700N and at the entry driveway. The Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders is a not-for-profit organization to perform sound scientific studies and educational services to monitor, protect and enhance the populations of Illinois’ native birds and their unique environments.

Splash Dash to bolster autism, special ed classes By RoBeRt Lyons Greene Prairie Press 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.

Power of a positive attitude 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 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. n Exercise. Start an exercise regimen, as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood. n 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. n 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

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 pub-

work toward improving the situation. n 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. n Think like a child. Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in

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

lished 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 moderate-intensity 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.

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. Positive thinking is more than the subject matter of self-help books. It's a viable way to improve personal health and live longer.

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 tree-lined 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.

TRI-COUNTY REAL ESTATE TOUR

Renovating a rental property One of the best things a landlord can do during a recession is to pay more attention to their rental properties, ensuring the properties are in tip-top shape so they can get the most out of each unit at a time when the rental market is most competitive. This might require some renovations, which landlords should be making periodically anyway, regardless of how strong or tenuous the economy might be. n Update the paint. Apartments are typically empty when shown to prospective renters, and any issues with the paint job are very noticeable during such viewings. If the paint is outdated or there is any fading, update the walls with a fresh coat of paint. It's ideal to do so whenever a tenant moves out, but landlords whose buildings have a high turnover rate likely won't need to repaint every time a tenant moves out. n Upgrade the appliances. Perhaps nothing evokes a stronger response from prospective renters than a property's appliances. Outdated appliances make renters speculate as to what else might be outdated and if the building is well taken care of. On the other hand, newer appliances, particularly stainless steel items, create a contemporary feel and give the impression, true or false, that

a landlord won't allow the building to grow dated or fall into disrepair. When shopping for appliances, choose ones that are more basic so any eventual repairs won't be too complicated or costly. Newer appliances enable landlords to charge more rent for a given property, and many renters would agree that such properties are worth the extra money. n Install new windows. Older buildings tend to have creaky or drafty windows, which not only makes the property colder during the winter months, but it also drives up utility costs as renters are forced to turn up the thermostat to combat drafts and cold air entering the unit. New windows can eliminate such drafts and reduce utility costs, something landlords can use to their advantage when discussing the property with potential tenants. Landlords might even be able to earn tax breaks when installing new, energy-efficient windows. Discuss if any such breaks exist with the local municipality. When it comes to renovating a rental property, landlords can make a handful of small renovations that, while relatively inexpensive, enable them to earn substantially more money from each unit over the long haul.

Revive summer-ravaged skin, hair and feet

As summer draws to a close, many people will reminisce about weeks spent relaxing and basking in the sun. Summer is typically full of fun, vacations and relaxation, but while the sun and surf may be refreshing for the mind, sometimes the body pays a price for all of those days spent soaking up some rays. Summer can be harsh on skin, feet, hair, and more. As the warm days wind down, practice some post-summer beauty tips to revive your skin, hair and feet. Hair Weeks spent diving through the waves or plunging into a backyard pool is excellent exercise and a great way to cool off on hot days. However, saltwater and chemical-laden pool water can turn tresses into a mess. One pitfall that plagues people who swim regularly is a green tinge that appears in the hair, which is most noticeable on people who have blond hair. Some people blame the chlorine in the water for the green tint, but the real culprit is copper, a common element found in commercial algicides. The solution is to find a shampoo that chelates the metal. Speak with a salon professional or a supplier of salon products to find the right shampoo for you. It's sometimes possible to prevent future green highlights by sealing the hair cuticle with a conditioner before swimming, and then thoroughly rinsing hair after exiting the pool. Swimmer's hair is another summertime phenomenon. Constant exposure to water and sunlight can leave the hair's cuticles exposed and susceptible to damage. Leave-in conditioners may help counteract some of that damage. If that doesn't work, speak to a stylist about what can be done to get hair looking healthy once again. He or she may suggest a fresh cut, new hair color and deep-conditioning treatments. Skin Many people now know of the damage ultraviolet rays can do to unprotected skin. In spite of that widely held knowledge, skin cancer remains the most common form of cancer in the United States, where the Skin Cancer Foundation says more than 3.5 million skin cancers are detected annually. The best pro-

File Photo

tection against skin cancer and skin damage from the sun is to use sunscreen and remain in the shade as much as possible. However, sometimes sunburns and blotchy suntans prevail. Moisturize the skin with a penetrating product as a first recovery step. Aloe is an item found in many healing skin balms and lotions. Although it can be tempting to tear off portions of peeling, sunburned skin, the peeling is actually a natural part of the healing process and should not be disturbed. The dead skin acts as a protective layer while fragile, tender new skin grows underneath. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water when showering. Moisturizer can keep the damaged skin moist and make peeling less noticeable. Some have found that spraying the skin with a solution made of vinegar and water can reduce the itching associated with peeling skin. If any part of the skin does not heal or looks strange, visit a dermatologist. Feet Walking barefoot or in flip flops or sandals is common during summer. But flimsy sandals offer little

protection against the sun as well as any dangers on the ground. Once summer is over, many people find their feet have paid the price, with calluses, blisters and dried-out skin. Find a spa or nail salon that provides paraffin wax treatments. These treatments use warm, oil-based wax to provide pain relief and skin-softening benefits. The heat in the wax increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness. Paraffin works by increasing blood supply to the skin while also opening pores and trapping moisture from underlying layers of skin. Pedicure treatments also can provide some relief for your feet. Soaking and massaging the feet and addressing any calluses can help feet recover. Think about also applying a deep moisturizer to the feet and then covering them with cotton socks, which can be left on while you sleep, and you may discover the following morning that you have woken up with softer, smoother soles. Summer is a fun time of year, but one that takes its toll on the human body. A few simple tips can recharge the body and have a person looking refreshed and revitalized.

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 C

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.

e all want to eat more vegetables — and in the summer, when farmers markets and grocery stores are filled with fresh, colorful produce, it’s easier than ever. From juicy red tomatoes and yellow sweet corn to vibrant green broccoli, seasonal produce can be even more enjoyable with the addition of spices and herbs. “I’m always thinking about ways to make vegetables taste great and be more healthful and exciting — other than just adding butter and salt,” said registered dietitian Wendy Bazilian. “Adding spices and herbs is easy to do, and they only cost pennies per serving. Plus, they’re already in your kitchen.” To add flavor to everyday vegetable favorites like zucchini and carrots, Bazilian recommends an easy rule of thumb: start with 1/4 teaspoon of spices and herbs, such as basil and oregano, per cup of veggies, along with a splash of citrus juice or olive oil. “You can also dial up the flavor depending on the cooking method,” Bazilian said. “Roasting vegetables like broccoli and tomatoes creates a caramelized flavor that pairs deliciously with garlic, basil, oregano, honey and white vinegar. Grilling vegetables gives a smoky, charred flavor. Or, let the natural flavor of green beans shine by steaming them with rosemary and thyme.” Try these simple flavor tips to season your favorite vegetables and visit www.McCormick.com for more ideas you can use all year long.

Mixed Vegetable Grill Servings: 6 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Basil Leaves 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder 1/8 teaspoon McCormick Ground Black Pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 cups assorted cut-up vegetables, such as asparagus, bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion and small sweet potato

Mix brown sugar, basil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in small bowl. In large bowl, drizzle oil over vegetables; toss to coat well. Add seasoning mixture; toss to coat well. Place vegetables in grill basket or rack, or thread onto skewers. Grill over medium heat 10–12 minutes or until vegetables are tender, turning occasionally. Kitchen tip: If using sweet potatoes, pierce them with fork and microwave two to three minutes on high or until tender.

Roasted Broccoli & Tomatoes Servings: 4 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder 1/4 teaspoon McCormick Coarse Ground Black Pepper 12 ounces broccoli florets 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons honey 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Basil Leaves 1/4 teaspoon McCormick Oregano Leaves

Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix oil, garlic powder and pepper in large bowl. Add broccoli and tomatoes; toss to coat well. Spread in single layer on foil-lined 15-by-10-by-1-inch baking pan. Roast in oven 13–15 minutes or until broccoli is lightly browned. Meanwhile, mix vinegar, honey, basil and oregano in small bowl. Drizzle over roasted vegetables after removing from oven; toss to coat well. Serve immediately.

Herbed Green Beans Servings: 4 1 pound trimmed green beans 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon finely crushed McCormick Rosemary Leaves 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Thyme Leaves 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt from McCormick Sea Salt Grinder 1/8 teaspoon McCormick Ground Black Pepper

Place beans in medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover beans. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer four to six minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain. Return beans to saucepan. Toss with vinegar, oil, rosemary, thyme, sea salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat one to two minutes or until heated through.
