The Utica tornado memorial will be a more active site in late 2023. Utica mayor Dave Stewart said he hopes to break ground in March on an outdoor retail plaza to be located immediately behind the memorial.

This amendment will protect workers' and others' safety. That includes guaranteeing nurses' right to put patient care ahead of construction workers can speak up when there's a safety issue.

SECTION 25. WORKERS’ RIGHTS
A fundamental right provided to all citizens under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is the right to free speech and freedom of association. This amend ment prohibits any law or ordinance that allows union workers to choose whether they wish to be a member of the union or not. Under the 2018 United States Supreme Court decision Janus v. Illinois AFSCME, non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union dues as a condition of working in the public sector. Approval of this constitutional amendment will deny that protection to private sector workers. The amendment also states that lawmakers could never “interfere with, negate, or diminish” certain rights. These terms are broad and undefined and leave lawmakers without the ability to clarify through legislation. Our Illinois Constitution provides such protection to public employees. The result of that protection has been to squash efforts by state lawmakers and voters to address Illinois’ pension fund deficits.

The fish dinner came with a chilled salad, and the entrees were sizable. Everything was served in paper bas kets and with plastic cutlery. No frills it may be, but the entrees upheld Jake’s reputation. The vol ume of calls streaming in as we ate suggests local diners have taken note, as well.

Various professionals have studied the clinical benefits of laughter, in cluding Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan at Loma Linda University in Cal ifornia. Here is what these experts say in regard to the benefits of a few good belly laughs.
Most people have heard the adage that “laughter is the best medicine.” There are many indications that laugh ter can be beneficial to the mind and body, and that the perks of laughter and humor are far-reaching.

Research suggests that laughter de creases inflammation that may con tribute to pain. Researchers at the University of Maryland found that laughing also increases blood flow, which may help to reduce pain as well. Finding ways to laugh more is an easy and fun way to improve overall health. TF228204
SCARS
Common skin conditions can be a nuisance, but various over-the-counter and prescription remedies can help.
Eczema, also known as atopic der matitis, is a common skin condition that produces red, itchy, dry, and ir ritated skin. It tends to start in early childhood, and doctors believe an overactive immune system may trigger symptoms. A dermatologist usually treats eczema with over-the-counter antihistamines and OTC or prescrip tion steroid creams.

ACNE
Large pores tend to go hand-in-hand with oily skin. They are extremely com mon. The American Academy of Der matology recommends being gentle with the skin to help minimize the ap pearance of pores. In addition, cleans ing and exfoliating the skin can help. The AAD says retinol, which is a deriva tive of vitamin A, can unclog pores and restore the skin’s natural appearance.
Remedies for common skin issues
dition that results in the excessive shedding of skin cells. Psoriasis causes scaly, silvery defined patches on the skin and usually occurs on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Healthline says plaque psoriasis is the most common form of the condition.
Acne can occur on the shoulders, face, neck, and upper back. Breakouts may include whiteheads, red pimples, blackheads, and deep cysts. If left untreated, acne can cause scarring. Clogged pores cause acne, according to Healthline. This may occur from bacteria, hormones, dead skin cells, and excessive oil production. Non-inflammatory acne can be addressed by using salicylic acid, which natu rally exfoliates the skin. It is found in cleansers and toners. Inflammatory acne can cause infection deep beneath the skin’s surface. Products contain ing benzoyl-peroxide may help reduce bacteria and swelling.
TF227076
Skin redness may occur for a variety of reasons. These include sunburns, allergic reactions, dry skin, acne, and irritations. Identifying the root of redness can help individuals make a plan for avoiding it going forward. Longterm redness often is linked to sebor rheic dermatitis or rosacea. Certain medications and skincare products may be recommended by a dermatol ogist to address these issues. In ad dition, color-correcting makeup can help camouflage redness, according to L’Oreal.
Scars are a natural result of the heal ing process from an injury to the skin. Many scars fade over time, but deep scars can may be permanent and vis ible. Dermatologists may recommend application of vitamin E, silicone gel or other creams or oils to help minimize scarring after a surgery or injury. A pre scription retinoid can be helpful when it comes to acne scarring. Steroid injec tions and laser treatments also can be used to reduce the appearance of scars, according to the experts at Medical Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery.
Light therapy, moisturizers, topical retinoids, and biologics may be pre scribed to manage psoriasis.
REDNESS
LARGE PORES
The skin is one of the most visible parts of the human body. Skin is the body’s largest organ and helps to re tain water and protect internal organs. The average adult has about 22 square feet of skin, which weighs around 8 pounds, according to National Geo graphic.Theskin can be affected by any number of conditions. While many are not overly harmful, certain condi tions can affect appearance. This, in turn, may impact a person’s self-confidence. Therefore, many people prefer to address skin issues promptly and effectively. Here are some common conditions and how to address them.
PSORIASIS
According to the NDC, telecom munications technology has evolved considerably in recent decades. That evolution has made it easier than ever for deaf individuals to communicate.
The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals

Visual fire alarms are another assistive technology that can improve the lives of individuals with significant hearing loss. These systems, which are required by law in various countries, make it possible for deaf individuals to safely evacuate buildings and other areas in emergency situations.
The NDC notes that telecommuni cations technology for deaf individu als is an umbrella term that includes telephone devices, platforms and ser vices that are employed when stan dard phones are ineffective. The NDC identifies three primary telecommunications services:
hearing loss can make life more challenging, but the Na tional Deaf Center on Postsecondary Outcomes notes that various assistive technologies can help individuals over come hearing loss.

Both scored again before the quarter was out to make it 28-0.
Davis followed Resetich’s play with a highlight reel of his own, racing and spinning through the Hall defense for a 48-yard score less than a minute later to ensure the running clock would go in play to start the second half with the Tigers leading by 40 (48-8).
“I would like to say that’s all coach ing, but we all know that’s not,” Pearson said. “That was a pretty special play. He sees things out on the field that a lot of guys don’t. He’s a special player.”
Christiansen raced off to open the second half with a 65-yard TD romp on a play he said they talked about at half time.“The whole time at halftime we said one block was all we need and that
play’s going to hit. Sure enough, Payne Miller had that one block and there was nobody in front of me,” he said, Christiansen admitted he used up all the gas he had left in his tank, finishing with 112 yards rushing and three touch downs to go with his TD reception.

“I definitely maxed out. That was my point where I was, ‘OK, I’m going to need a break,’ and then coach Pearson said we were done. It worked out,” he said.Christiansen said it will be a espe cially memorable win for the Princeton seniors.“Westill got a long way to go. We’ve got to go one game at a time. I think for now it’s a good win to think about it, especially us seniors. We’re probably not going to play Hall again,” he said.
Pearson said winning their Three River Mississippi opener was a nice start in their defense of the conference championship.“Wewantto focus on the task at hand. We knew there was going to be a good crowd for Homestead weekend and all the festivities,” he said. “We wanted to come and play well against our very close rival and take care of business. We’re going to go in an have some fun in the parade [Saturday], and we’re right back to business at Mendota next week.”

PRINCETON – Princeton wasn’t about to kick the ball to Mac Resetich to start Friday night’s game at Bryant Field.The Tigers kicked the ball short, well in front of the Hall-Putnam County standout, just over the Hall front line, and recovered the ball at midfield.
Princeton senior Augie Christiansen, who scored three running touchdowns and another one by receiving, said things couldn’t have started any better for the “ThatTigers.whole first quarter we had momentum from those first couple kicks. That just really got us going,” he said. ‘That was our whole game plan not to kick it to Resetich. You saw what hap pened when we did. We were going to take advantage as much as we could and capitalized on both those.”
The Tigers scored four plays later, only 45 seconds into the game.
“They’re [Princeton] very talented, and we know where we’re at. We came over and said we just want to give it our bestQuarterbackshot.”
“You don’t expect those things to happen. You expect a kid to catch the ball,” he said. “It’s having young kids in positions and it’s what’s going to hap pen. You’re going to have growing pains.
