State phasing in $40k minimum for teacher pay Local officials don’t anticipate much from move

By JARAD JARMON Jersey Coutny Journal In a move that surprised no one, at least not educators, state lawmakers and Gov. J.B. Pritzker passed a measure Thursday phasing in a required $40k minimum pay for teachers to address the statewide teacher shortage.

The bill is aimed at relieving what many have described as a severe statewide teacher shortage in Illinois. During the 20182019 school year, Pritzker said, roughly 1,500 teaching positions across the state were unfilled.

While local school officials don’t think the minimum pay raise as hindrance in that effort, they do think other, more crucial factors

play into these numbers.

Brad Tuttle, Jersey Community School District Superintendent, confirmed the teacher shortage has been palpable in the district.

The district last year and this year have qualified teachers in every position, but the pool of candidates is notably smaller.

But, Tuttle is skeptical it will have the impacts state legislators might be hoping for.

“I don’t think it can hurt,” said Brad Tuttle, Jersey Community School District Superintendent. “But, I think there are a few things causing the teacher shortage.”

There are reasons outside of pay detracting high school graduates interested in pursuing an educational degree.

Among them, Tuttle said,

was the public perception of the education field in this day and age.

Being a teacher is not seen as prestigious a position as it used to be, he noted. There is a lot of doubt in teaching nowadays, he said, partly instilled over the retirement system.

Still, Tuttle reiterated every little bit helps.

“We truly are in a teacher shortage and if (the minimum pay raise) helps (to solve) that teacher shortage, that is great,” he said.

Tuttle said they are also seeing shortages in other vital positions in the district including drivers and substitutes, a trend among districts across the state.

Jerseyville OK’s minor subdivision

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Jerseyville City Council approved the final plat of a minor subdivision, Woolsey Estates at 1303 East Spruce St., during their Tuesday meeting.

Bill Strang, city attorney, said the city council’s approval was contingent to start work at the two-lot subdivision. The work had already gone through the planning zoning board and the city’s public work director with minor tweaks before making it to the city council.

The plat allows the owners of the property, Kevin and Lorie Woolsey, the ability to divide up the tract of land so they can have a house on two sides of a tract.

“You can’t do two houses on the same tract unless it is a subdivision,” Strang said.

During the meeting, members also OK’d a measure autho-

rizing the publication of the updated official zoning map.

“Through the years, people apply for changes and classifications for various tracts,” Strang said. “We had not had our map updated for quite a while, so we needed to update the map so that it reflected all of the changes that people had come in and changed.”

Also at the meeting, the council approved two fundraisers. The first is for the Ainad Shriners and is to take place from 8 a.m.-noon Sept. 14 at the intersection of W County Road and Illinois Route 109. The second is for Candy Day, sponsored by the Jerseyville Lions Club, taking place from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 27 also at the intersection of W County Road and Illinois Route 109.

Members went into executive session to discuss personnel and the sale and purchase of property.

Southwestern board issued bond for school buses

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal The Southwestern CUSD No. 9 School Board issued bonds to update the school’s bus fleet at their monthly meeting, according to the superintendent.

Superintendent Kyle Hacke said the board OK’d a resolution providing for the issue of a $500,000 bond to move forward this project.

The resolution provides for a levy of a direct annual tax to pay the principal and interest on the bond.

Hacke said the bus fleet is in much need of upgrades including the purchase of new buses.

“We have an older fleet,” he said.

Also, the board addressed previous debts incurred several years ago. They issued another bond to

address $890,000 in the bond debt the school is currently paying off.

Hacke said this essentially serves as a way to refinance existing debt of the school district. He said this will save the district $67,000.

Hacke said he presented the fiscal year 2020 budget, which he said did not have any notable changes in comparison to last year. This is a tentative budget that school board members will vote on the budget in a special meeting, Sept. 24, following a 30-day viewing period. The tentative budget can be seen on the district’s website, piasabirds.net.

The superintendent’s report at the meeting had announcements of personnel changes including: Q The resignation of Miranda Standefer from middle school girls track.

Q The employment of Karen Gallaher to be third-grade teacher Shipman Elementary.

Q The employment of Linda Derstine to be high school math teacher.

Q The employment of Mary Dresch to work High School concessions.

Q The employment of Amy Clendenen to be Shipman classroom aide.

Q The employment of Stormy Ringhausen to be Medora Intermediate School classroom aide.

Q The employment of Jana Reno to be middle school classroom aide.

Q The employment of Michelle Davenport to be Medora lunchroom monitor.

Q The acceptance of Cole Hagen as a volunteer football coach.

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Jersey County Journal Following mass shootings this past summer in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, gun control reform continues to be a focal point for those in Washington D.C., including local U.S. Representative Rodney Davis, R-Illinois 13th District.

This past February, the U.S. lawmakers passed bills that would require background checks for all gun purchasers, including those on the internet or at gun shows, and extend the waiting limits for would-be gun buyers flagged by the instant check system.

Now, US representative Rodney Davis is backing a proposed law that could take some citizen’s firearms away.

“As the survivor of a mass shooting, I know what it’s like to dodge bullets and every time there’s a mass shooting, like the most recent tragedies in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton, the same smells, sounds and fears come back,” he said in a message to the Peoria Journal Star earlier this month.

Davis was referring to a mass shooting incident he survived two years ago. He was not injured, but was present at the Alexandria, Va., shooting during a congressional baseball practice.

Davis recently called up Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring a federal “red flag” bill to the floor, which would help more states pass legislation allowing law enforcement to seize weapons in extreme cases. According to several media outlets, Davis stated he believed the bill would pass with a huge bi-partisan margin.

Despite backing the law, Davis was said to still support the constitutional right to bear arms and that he does not believe in making it harder for people to chose the right to own a firearm.

Downtown Country Christmas planning is starting up

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal Planning for this year’s Christmas festivities in downtown Jerseyville, best known as the Downtown Community Christmas, is underway, and an open planning meeting has been scheduled at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 28.

Downtown Country Christmas is a big undertaking by city and business leaders in the area, where State Street is closed off for several hours to host numerous activities along the street.

The meeting was said to serve as a wholistic informational meeting of the needs and changes from last year’s

event, said Micheal Ward, Downtown Country Christmas president.

One of the biggest needs is volunteers; a need organizers are planning to specifically address this year. Ward stressed it is a major undertaking to shutdown a major highway, and when the event is over, organizers are finding themselves in need of more volunteers when it is time for cleanup. Cleanup notably has to be done in short time to free up the highway later that night.

Organizers are taking a more robust and active role in recruiting volunteers for the work needed to put on this (See, CHRISTMAS, A2)

Pay (Continued from A1) passed the General Assembly in the final days of the 2019 session, phases in an increase in minimum teacher salaries to $40,000 a year over the next four years. “As Illinois’ children head back to school this week and next, this new law says to them and their parents loud and clear, we value teachers,� Pritzker said during a Statehouse news conference.

Under current law, the minimum salary for a teacher ranges from $9,000 for someone with less than a bachelor’s degree to $11,000 for someone with a master’s degree. That law hasn’t changed since the early 1980s.

The new law raises the minimum salary to $32,076 in the 2020-2021 school year. It then adds $2,500 in each of the next two years, finally arriving at $40,000 in the 2023-2024 school year. After that, mandatory increases will be indexed to inflation.

Tuttle said four-year contracts with district teachers have just been established— contracts that align with the new state mandates. He said on the fourth year, the salary will edge out the minimum, ensuring the district is competitive.

Although passage of the bill will increase costs for some school districts, Pritzker noted that this year’s budget included a $375 million increase in state funding for K-12 education.

According to a fiscal analysis of the bill, the higher minimum salary will add, on average, about 0.5 percent to each district’s “adequacy target� under the state’s new evidence-based funding system. It also could widen the gap between current funding and the adequacy target for many districts.

Under that funding system, each district is assigned a target for adequate funding, and those that are the furthest below their target receive top priority for funding increases each year, with the goal of providing adequate funding to all districts

by 2027.

State dollars currently account for only about 27 percent of all school funding in Illinois. The bulk of K-12 funding, 66 percent, comes from local property taxes, with the remaining 7 percent coming from the federal government.

According to the state’s most recent data, of Illinois’ 851 public school districts, 702 received less than “adequate� funding during the 2017-2018 school year.

The percentages of adequate funding vary widely across the state, from a low of 47 percent in the J.S. Morton High School District in Cicero, to a high of 288 percent in the Rondout School District in Lake Forest.

The state has taken other steps to address the shortage beyond pay raises. Already, the state has been removing other barriers, considered by some to be unreasonable barriers to entry to become a teacher in an effort to curb the teacher shortage.

Earlier this month, a measure signed into law by Pritzker eliminates the requirement that teacher candidates pass a test of basic skills to receive a Professional Educator License. According to an Illinois Board of Education press release, the elimination of the test of basic skills clears the path for any teacher candidate who had completed all other requirements for their license.

The new law allowed approximately 1,300 teaching candidates to begin student teaching this fall. “The State Board of Education supports high standards for the professionals in our classrooms,� said State Superintendent of Education Carmen I. Ayala. “However, the test of basic skills did not advance teacher effectiveness. Rather, it created a financial and practical barrier that prevented highly skilled and passionate potential teachers from beginning their careers in Illinois.�

Smith new pastor of local parishes The Reverend Father Martin Daniel Smith was installed as the pastor of Saint Francis Xavier and Saint Patrick parishes.

Smith is a native of Mt. Zion. He is the son of Jerry and Faye Smith. The new pastor also has two brothers and three sisters and many nieces and nephews.

Smith studied economics.

He has served four years in the United States Army as a paratrooper, which included a tour in Iraq. He also served as a police officer.

Smith was ordained as a priest on May 23, 2015.

Since, Smith has served as parochial vicar at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Parish and chaplain of Sacred HeartGriffin High School, both in Springfield from 2015 to 2017. He also served as Parochial Vicar for St. Francis Xavier Parish and Holy Ghost Parish in Jerseyville, St. Mary’s Parish in Fieldon and St. Patrick’s Parish in Grafton from 2017 to 2019.

He was installed by Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois as pas-

spirit, keep our parish family and Catholic Community of Jersey County always united in your love, mercy, and compassion. Watch over and protect your priests and parishioners, our school and church, as we daily walk to do the work you call us to in each of our lives. Trusting in you in all things, as we serve you here on earth, daily growing closer to one another and to you, as we await the Joys of the kingdom you have prepared for us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, son of the living god. Amen.�

Ward noted last year’s pool of volunteers was much better than previous years, but the hope is still to see more this year.

Their planning meetings are monthly until the start

A dinner reception hosted by the Saint Francis Xavier Altar Society followed the installation mass.

Downtown Country Christmas is slated to return this year with all of the family-friendly activities and Christmas festivities from 2-8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30.

This is the fifth year for the Jerseyville event.

Ward said this is one of the largest events for the city in the year bringing in thousands to the downtown corridor and thousands of dollars to the area.

(Continued from A1) “Getting shot at didn’t change my views on gun control or my support for the Second Amendment," he said in the Journal Star. “If anything, it bolstered my support for concealed carry laws because I wished I had been able to defend myself against a crazed, politically motivated gunman on that baseball field two years ago.�

He indicated something should be done, though. “The bottom line is, we have to do more to keep guns out of the hands of people

who shouldn’t have them and do more to empower those who can protect us,� he said to the Journal Star. “Red flag laws with due process protections and better coordination with law enforcement could help us stop the next tragedy.�

In the past, the congressman has proposed programs such as the School Violence Prevention Program, which offers grants to fund increased safety measures in schools that also includes the hiring of mental health professionals.

the long run,” Steckel said.

Minor charges in Greene County were dropped last week in Greene County Circuit Court against a Kane man who faces much more serious charges in Jersey County. Mark Prough was charged in Greene County with one count of possession of a firearm without a requisite owner’s identification, which was enhanced to a Class 3 felony, and one count of resisting a police officer. “It is more important for our law enforcement officers to focus on assisting Jersey County with their investigation instead of these minor charges he faces in this county,” Grummel said.

“There is also the burden on both counties of trying to provide security to transport a person charged with such a serious crime back and forth to court.”

10 Years Ago August 26, 2009 Tammy Steckel, the business director of Jersey Community Unit School District No. 100, gave the school board ominous financial news during its August board meeting. She notified the board the district’s tentative budget showed a shortfall in the Education Fund of $1.2 million, with half of the overrun due to the state cutting its level of funding by $500,000. We tried to curtail our expenditures but, unfortunately, when you lose $500,000 in state aid it doesn’t help in

ork to organize what is the Downtown Country Christmas is well underway. These November Christmas festivities close down part of State Street, and each time it is a hefty undertaking for everyone involved.

Short time is given to close and then reopen the state highway, and helping hands are a necessity.

It is events like that these that shine a spotlight on the importance of volunteerism in a community.

There are several events throughout the year that hundreds and even thousands in the community take part in. Along with the Downtown Country Christmas, there are events like the Jersey County Apple Festival and the Jersey County Fair.

While numerous can be seen taking in these events, the pool of lending a helping hand to set up, tear down or run these events is much smaller.

Certainly, it is an understanding that not everyone will or can volunteer, but more should be taking up the mantle.

These events that so many in the community enjoy are not done from the magic. These events are created on the backs of volunteers and organizers. Without these efforts, the survivability of these events is unlikely.

Events like these are ones that need the support of the community, support that extends beyond foot traffic. Civic engagement means more than a vote. It means staying involved and taking part in making a community better.

One thing is for sure— without this philanthropic support, these events would not be nearly as big if would the have even existed at all.

Take a step toward supporting activities you likely take part in each year. Who knows? You might find a burgeoning interest in volunteering, in general. It is certainly not a bad hobby to take on.

August marked 180th anniversary for Jersey E

arly this month, Jersey County marked its 180th anniversary. In honor of this historic occasion, here’s a quick look at our county’s early history: When Illinois was founded in 1818, present-day Jersey County was part of Madison County, which amazingly then stretched all the way to the state’s northern border.

David Stockton and James Whitesides settled in English Township in 1817 or 1818, officially becoming the pioneer settlers of present-day Jersey County. Settlements soon sprung up near Piasa and Macoupin creeks.

Lofton’s Prairie, which encompassed Dow, Newbern and East Newbern in Mississippi Township, was also settled quite early. The area was named for Judge John Lofton, who settled the area with his fatherin-law, William Campbell Gillham, who fought in the Revolutionary War with his seven sons and two sons-in-law.

In January 1821, Greene County was carved from Madison County, and for the next eight years, present-day Jersey County was part of our neighboring county to the north.

The 1830s saw an influx of settlers.

Camden (which was located near Elsah), Fidelity, Grafton, Otterville, Delhi, East Newbern, Newbern and Fieldon were established.

As the population of present-day Jersey County grew, so did interest in creating a separate county. It’s not surprising, considering that anyone who wished to apply for a marriage license or file a land transaction in Greene County had to travel to the coun-

How do you feel about limiting select types of business in a community to allow others to grow?

I think it is important to have balance, and I believe this serves that purpose.

I don’t mind some restrictions, but there should be growth for every industry.

The free market should decide it all.

There should be a tight control on what businesses can come in and where they should go.

JOURNAL SEEKING GUEST COLUMNISTS If anyone is interested in submitting a guest column, please contact the Journal. There are many topics out there and we have found that our readers have a lot of thoughtful things to say, on a broad range of topics. Columns, like letters, should add to the public discourse in a helpful way.

Guest columns are submitted by a rotating roster of columnists or are simply sent in unsolicited and, if appropriate, are published.

These columns do not reflect the views of the newspaper, only the writer. Length is no more than 800 words. Deadlines are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Topics are the choice of the columnist although we encourage our contributors to avoid obviously inflammatory issues (religion, abortion, etc.). Though we are a local paper, contributors are free to write about national or international issues (the pledge, the war, Social Security, health care, etc.). The Journal reserves the right to hold, edit or withdraw a column.

These guest columns are an opportunity for our contributors to share an idea, an opinion or information; it is not an opportunity to sell a product or a service. We are looking for informed opinion and lively debate. Our only requirements are that your column have relevance to our community and our readership and be responsibly written (no personal attacks or self promotion, for example).

ty seat of Guest Column Carrollton.

BY BETH MCGLASSON The round trip would have taken the better part of two days for those living in Camden, Grafton, Delhi and other communities in the southern portion of the county.

As interest in dividing the county grew, John N. English (later elected Jersey County’s first sheriff) canvassed the county for signatures. After obtaining the necessary signatures, he rode 75 miles via horseback to the state capitol in Vandalia to personally deliver the signed petition to lawmakers.

On Aug. 5, 1839, the state legislators voted to create Jersey County, and Jerseyville was named the county seat.

Despite its central location, the decision to make Jerseyville that county seat was not without controversy. Some believed the lack of readily accessible timber due to its location on Jersey Prairie would limit the town’s growth. Others believed Jerseyville had little hope of ever competing with the bustling town of Kane to the north!

Today, Jersey County includes two cities (Jerseyville and Grafton); four villages (Brighton, Elsah, Fidelity and Fieldon); and one town, Otterville.

Happy anniversary, Jersey County.

Ozarks trip always poses unique surprises

This Week's

“Red Flag” measures are popping up across the state and the country. What are your thoughts them?

EDITORIAL

F

or 39 consecutive years, I have taken a pilgrimage to the Missouri Ozarks to hunt wild turkey in the Spring with my brother, some family members and some of our hunting buddies.

Every trip is memorable because it seems that something always happens during the trip that is unexpected and more often than not, flat-out weird. Generally these “memorable events” have no connection to the harvesting of a wild turkey.

In fact, they sometimes have a lot to do with the non-harvesting of a wild turkey.

For example, one year Annie loaned me her four-wheel-drive truck, and I returned it with the hood ornament shot off and the side mirrors hanging by a thread—I had nothing to do with the removal of the hood ornament, by the way. The next year she loaned me the truck again and I managed to set it on fire in the middle of the woods at 4 a.m.

At that point, I was told to get my own truck.

Then there was the time that one of my hunting buddies got lost hunting on the Current River and had to hitch-hike down the Current River to get back to the clubhouse. Incredibly, a young couple stopped and gave him a ride in their canoe despite the camo, shotgun and face mask.

This year was no exception.

But this time, it did not involve setting a truck on fire, hitch-hiking on the Current River or shooting off a hood ornament. This time, the memorable event occurred in a public rest stop on Interstate 44 during our trip down to the Ozarks.

My son, Tom, was with me at the time.

We stopped to use the men’s room. It was late morning. This particular men’s room has two stalls to the left and three urinals to the right as you face the west wall.

When we got inside, there was a line. As I am waiting in the line closest to the two stalls, I noticed that while the door to the stall to the left was closed, the stall to the right was open.

Thinking that the right-hand stall might be unoccupied, I glanced in. I was surprised

to see that it was, indeed, er occupied Ridge Runn even though CH RO NI CL ES the door Guest Column was open.

It appeared

BY BILL HOAGLAND from a glance, that the occupant was a man who must have weighed between 300 and 400 hundred pounds. He was staring back at me, and he did not look happy.

As I am waiting in line, this large man suddenly bellowed out the word, “taco.” Everyone in line looked around at each other, wondering if we all heard the same thing. Thirty seconds later, he again bellowed “taco.” Now people were getting a bit uneasy. What in the world was this all about?

Suddenly, “Taco” made his appearance. “Taco” apparently is a dachshund—a wiener dog, if you will— and he was coming out from under the other stall. The man in the open stall was evidently the owner of “Taco,” and the unleashed “Taco” was having the time of his life.

The Germans bred the dachshund to go down into narrow tunnels and catch groundhogs, badgers and other critters; that is precisely why they ended up with such an odd body shape. The Germans did not breed the dachshund to duck under bathroom stalls and say hello to the occupant inside. Nor did they breed them to race out around in a men’s room with wet feet, jumping up to greet everyone in line.

The folks in line were not pleased, to say the least. But for me, it was just another episode that makes all of these trips memorable.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Syrphid Flies are annoying but helpful impostors Is it a bee? Is it a wasp? No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a syrphid fly, and they are rather abundant this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several questions come into our offices about them and while at a cookout with my family this weekend we got to experience dozens of them flying around and occasionally landing on us.

Syrphid flies (aka hover flies, flower flies, corn flies, helicopter flies, and sweat bees, among other names) range in size from Âź to ž of an inch long and resemble bees and wasps with yellow, orange and black markings. Despite their appearance, they are not bees or wasps but flies in the family Syrphidae (thus the name syrphid flies). Like bees and wasps, the adults are often seen around flowers. There are several different ways you can tell them apart from one another: Syrphid flies can â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the air while flying (it can seem like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re floating), while bees and wasps cannot (when flying theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always moving in one direction or another).

Look closely at the wings (easier said than done, I know). Flies have one pair of wings (2 total), while bees and wasps have two pairs (4 total). As the adage

goes, two wings fun, four wings run.

You can also look at the antennae of the insects. Syrphid flies have small short antennae, while bees and wasps have longer, elbowed antennae.

Bees and wasps can sting, flies cannot. Probably not the way you want to determine if something is a bee or wasp, or a flyâ&#x20AC;Ś Despite their annoying habit of swarming and landing on us, presumably to get moisture and salt from our sweat, most syrphid flies are quite beneficial (there are a few species, such as the Narcissus bulb fly, that are considered pests). The adults are important pollinators and are often seen visiting flowers in gardens.

Some popular flowers with these insects include Queen Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lace, sweet alyssum, coriander, dill, and other smallflowered herbs.

Where syrphid flies really shine in the garden is when it comes to pest control.

Females will lay their eggs on plants near or among aphid colonies. After about three days the eggs will hatch.

The maggots (gross I know, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what fly larvae are called) are legless with a tapered body and range in color

from creamy-white to green or brown.

They will crawl around in search of food, once they find something they will grab it with their hooked mouthparts.

The larvae will feed on aphids and other small soft-bodied insects such as mealy bugs, scale, thrips, and eggs. A single larva can eat 20 to 30 aphids a day and up to 400 during its development! So, if you ever see an aphid infestation in your garden make sure you check to see if there are any syrphid fly larvae around before getting too worried. The larvae will feed for seven to ten days before they pupate. After around ten days as a pupa, the adults will emerge to continue the cycle again.

Between the adults pollinating and the larvae feeding on pest insects, the occasional annoyance from syrphid flies is definitely worth it.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Syrphid files have sponge-like mouthparts that they use to feed on nectar, pollen, and if they land on humans, sweat.

Despite what many people think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bite or sting. If you do get stung by a small insect feeding on your sweat it is most likely a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sweat bee.

Red Cross stresses giving blood for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support kids, teens and young adults battling cancer, as well as others in need of transfusions.

The National Cancer Institute estimated that more than 15,000 children and adolescents in the U.S. would be diagnosed with cancer last year. Childhood cancer patients may need blood products on a regular basis during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

Cancer and cancer treatments can put patients at risk for low red blood cell and platelet counts. Some types of chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, lowering the production of red blood cells and platelets. Cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma attack the bone marrow as well. Blood and platelet transfusions can enable patients to receive critical treatments needed to fight and survive cancer.

Platelet donors and blood donors of all blood types are urgently needed to replenish the blood supply following a summer blood shortage. As a thank-you, those who come to give Aug. 30-Sept. 3 will receive a unique Red Cross canvas tote bag, while supplies last.

Make an appointment to donate by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Blood drives are also essential in helping ensure blood is available for patients this win-

ter. To learn more and sign up to host a blood drive, visit RedCrossBlood.org/ HostADrive.

Who blood donations help: In October 2018, what began as a normal toddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear infection changed the Corbeau familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life forever. Beth and Matt Corbeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-year-old son, Jackson, was running a high fever.

He was taken to urgent care and diagnosed with a simple ear infection and prescribed antibiotics. After a few days, Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fever failed to subside, and he became increasingly more lethargic. His parents decided it was time to have him seen again.

After a quick visit to Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary care physician, they were advised that he was anemic and were instructed to take him to the local emergency room. Five grueling hours after arriving at the ER, the Corbeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were introduced to a pediatric oncologist. Beth recalls that moment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as she introduced herself as a pediatric oncologist, I felt the room get extremely small.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything that was said that afternoon after she said the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leukemia.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In the first few days after diagnosis, Jackson received red blood cell and platelet transfusions to prepare him to have a port placed in his chest to receive chemotherapy treatments. He has gone through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and has received approximately seven units of blood and four units of platelets during his treatment so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our family is so grateful to blood and platelet donors who so generously make time

to share their good health with patients like Jackson,â&#x20AC;? says Beth Corbeau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget about the importance of blood donations if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know someone in need, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I will never take for granted again.â&#x20AC;?

Upcoming blood donation opportunities Aug. 30-Sept. 15: Greenfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sept. 10, 2:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., First Baptist Church of Greenfield, 1152 NE 575 St. Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sept. 12, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m., Hope Lutheran Church, 1009 N State Street How to donate blood: A blood donor card or driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and

weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPassÂŽ to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. Since 1914, the American Red Cross has served the Greater Kansas City area by preventing and alleviating human suffering. Today the Red Cross provides blood products and specialized laboratory services to seven hospitals in the Greater Kansas City area, including those within the HCA Midwest Health. The Red Cross is the only blood services provider that also offers health and safety training, serves as a vital communication link between military personnel and their families, teaches disaster preparedness, and provides relief to victims of disasters for our community.

reat classrooms don’t happen by accident.

Teachers across the country work hard to build vibrant, energizing learning environments for their students, which often means everything from microscopes to pipe cleaners, graphic novels to oboes, class pets to ¿HOG WULSV DQG PXFK PRUH $V a result, teachers spend more than $1 billion from their own pockets each year on supplies.

However, parents and community members can OHQG D KDQG +HOSLQJ WR R൵VHW teachers’ expenses can take many forms, from working directly with your child’s teacher to identify needs to participating in school-based fundraisers. Another option is sharing your assistance with a program like DonorsChoose. org, which makes it easy for any individual to address the inequity in schools, one classroom at a time.

Over the past 19 years, more than 3.8 million people have donated to classrooms through the program. Last year alone, nearly 145,000 teachers had

projects funded on the site and over 255,000 classroom requests were brought to life.

These requests reveal some of the key things teachers across America need for success:

Books, Books and More Books While books may seem “old school,” teachers know that a single book can change a student’s life. Year after year, teachers request books more than any other resource. Many elementary school teachers ask for leveled reading books to meet their students’ individual needs. Others want to diversify their libraries ZLWK ERRNV WKDW UHÀHFW WKHLU students’ identities. “The Hate U Give” and “Wonder” are among the most popular books requested this year, and e-readers have become a popular way to expand libraries beyond what the classroom bookshelf can hold.

the classroom learning experience. Rather than rigid desks, students choose from comfy chairs, bouncy balls, bean bags or wobble stools, all designed to let students get those wiggles out so they can better focus on their work.

Technology Because of rapidly evolving technology, 65% of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that don’t currently exist. Resources like laptops and tablets help students learn at their own pace and practice 21st century skills like coding. For example, coding robots and 3D printers are becoming some of the most popular items requested in high schools.

Back to the Basics Many teachers simply need basic supplies: paper, pencils and tissues top the list. Last year, teachers requested enough pens and pencils to write the complete works of William Shakespeare more than 2,000 times.

Books Technology Basic classroom supplies Flexible seating Life Essentials

Community Service

Another popular request is “hygiene closets,” which allow teachers to provide students facing poverty with free toiletries to take home such as deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as laundry supplies and clean undergarments.

Not all learning must take place in a classroom. In fact, teachers across the country often take aim at new ways to engage students, such as integrating practical life into the daily curriculum through an outdoor learning environment like a community vegetable garden.

By requesting composters, rain barrels, seeds, gardening tools and more, educators can take their classrooms outside to help make the planet healthier while students learn how to be healthier themselves. It also gives students an opportunity to give back to their community by donating food to local families in need.

An Appreciation for the Arts There are plenty of extracurricular activities at nearly every school that require care and compassion from the community. Drama teams, for example, require supplies to create music, perform plays and more. Donations often allow students to explore their artistic abilities while learning how to create sets, write their own scenes, use instruments and more while simultaneously building their management and teamwork skills.

Common cataract causes and treatment Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss among people age 40 and older.

According to All About Vision, cataracts also are the principal cause of blindness in the world.

There are more cases of cataracts worldwide than there are glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, states Prevent Blindness America. Fortunately, cataracts are easily recognized and treated.

What are cataracts?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. The lens is the clear part of the eye that helps focus light â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and images â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the retina. The lens must be clear to receive a sharp image. If the lens is cloudy, vision will be blurred.

Cataracts tend to form slowly. Initially, they only affect a small part of the lens, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not very bothersome as a result.

However, over time, cataracts can grow and impair vision. Seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;halosâ&#x20AC;? around lights, fading of colors, sensitivity to light, glare, and the need for brighter light for reading and handling tasks are common symptoms.

What causes cataracts?

Various things, including aging or injury to the eye tissue, can cause cataracts. Prior eye surgery, diabetes, long-term use of steroid medications, and inherited genetic disorders also can cause cataracts, says the Mayo Clinic. Smoking and alcohol use as well as consistent exposure to UV sunlight also may contribute to the formation of cataracts. With aging, the lenses in the eyes become less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Tissues within the lens can break down and clump together, clouding small areas within the lens

of the eye, thereby forming a cataract.

Cataracts may be a subcapsular cataract, which occurs at the back of the lens. A nuclear cataract forms in the center of the lens. A cortical cataract starts in File photo the periphery of the lens and works its way inward to the center.

Treating cataracts Cataracts need only be treated if they are affecting vision severely or preventing examination or treatment of another eye problem.

An eye care professional will discuss with patients if surgery is needed.

The National Eye Institute says surgery is safe and effective. In roughly 90 percent of cases, people who have undergone cataract surgery have better vision afterward. The surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial one.

The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis and patients typically stay awake during the surgery.

Routine eye examinations are a key part of an overall health plan. They can shed light on the formation of cataracts and help people develop effective treatment plans.

The facts about osteoporosis Osteoporosis is often seen as a problem for the elderly, and the National Osteoporosis Foundation notes that being over 50 is a major risk factor for osteoporosis. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean people younger than 50 canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop the disease. The misconception that osteoporosis exclusively afflicts aging men and women only highlights the need to learn more about the disease.

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both.

Because people cannot feel their bones weakening, osteoporosis is often called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;silent disease,â&#x20AC;? notes the NOF. Despite its silence, osteoporosis is a serious threat, increasing a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk for bone breaks from falls.

What happens to bones when a person has osteoporosis?

The NOF notes that, under a microscope, healthy bones look like a honeycomb.

When a person has osteoporosis, the holes and spaces in the honeycomb are considerably larger than in healthy bones. Osteoporotic bones are not as dense as healthy bones, and as they become less dense, they weaken and are more susceptible to breaks.

Is osteoporosis common?

Osteoporosis is common across the globe.

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, one in three women over age 50 and one in five men over age 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures.

What are the risk factors for osteoporosis?

The NOF categorizes risk factors for osteoporosis as uncontrollable and controllable.

Uncontrollable risk factors include age, family history, low body weight (being small and thin), and a history of File photo broken bones.

Gender also is an uncontrollable risk factor, as women are more likely than men to suffer from osteoporosis. In fact, the NOF notes that a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of breaking a hip due to osteoporosis is equal to her risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer.

Controllable risk factors for osteoporosis include not eating enough fruits and vegetables; consuming too much protein, sodium and caffeine; a sedentary lifestyle; smoking; and excessive consumption of alcohol. Insufficient calcium and vitamin D intake is another controllable risk factor for osteoporosis. Speak with a physician about osteoporosis and the role that diet and exercise can play in prevention.

Osteoporosis affects people across the globe. Taking steps to reduce your risk for osteoporosis can prevent broken bones and other negative side effects of this disease.
