Joe Page Bridge is open

t has been more than two months since the Joe Page Bridge has seen traffic outside of service vehicles, but it was announced Tuesday that the major throughway between Calhoun and Greene counties is now open, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

According to an IDOT news release, the Illinois Route 16/100 from the Joe Page Bridge intersection in Hardin to Eldred Road in Jersey County and the bridge itself has been opened.

The bridge has been closed since Monday, June 3, in the wake of historic flooding in the area. For weeks, much of the area has returned normal, but

the same could not be said for East Hardin near the bridge, which still had inches of water that had no place to drain to. There were still thousands of acres still underwater.

One such place underwater was the pump house, a necessary site to pump water out of the area.

After 152 consecutive days of impacts to the transportation system in IDOT District 8, all roadways, facilities and services impacted by the flood have been restored, according to the release. It was noted that roads in Madison County had been closed as a result of recent heavy rains.

The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office stated in a Facebook post Tuesday that the Kampsville and Brussels ferries will still run two ferries for next couple of days, and after, go back to running one ferry. The ferries have been running a 24-hour service for a few weeks now, in the process, taxing the staff at these ferries.

Gone Fishin’

By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press Several instances of vandalism to buildings and vehicles were reported last week in Carrollton, according to city police.

Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross said there were eight reported cases where a building or vehicle was tagged with spray paint early Friday in a four-block area inside the city.

Gross said the incidents occurred around 3 a.m.

Friday.

Buildings including a local parochial school, St John the Evangelist Catholic School, and the CHS Grain Elevator main office were tagged as well as other structures like sheds in the area. Two vehicles were also tagged, the police chief said.

IDPH warns of potential vaping hazards

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Greene Praire Press The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is working with local health departments to investigate the hospitalization of three young people who experienced severe problems after vaping.

The department is now working in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services who had had 11 confirmed and seven suspected cases of severe pulmonary disease among adolescents who have been known to vape.

Vaping has been a popular avenue for people of all ages to help stop cigarette smoking while still satiating their addiction to nicotine. However, with the rising promotion of Juuls and other e-cigarette devices, teens are gravitating toward that first instead of choosing other forms. While smokeless tobacco on the outside may seem a safer albeit still potentially harmful option, it poses several dangers according to IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “While short- and long-term effects of vaping are still being researched, these recent hospitalizations

Carrollton moving forward with TIF district plans

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Greene Prairie Press The City of Carrollton taking steps toward developing a tax increment finance (TIF) district.

At their Aug. 8 meeting, Carrolton City Council passed essential measures that were necessary to meet the requirements for a future TIF district. “Establishing a TIF is a process,� Mayor Joe Montanez said.

The city passed an ordinance authorizing the establishment of a TIF interested parties registries and adopting registration rules for these registries.

An individual seeking to register as an interested person concerning a redevelopment project area must complete and submit a registration form to the city clerk.

The individual must also submit a copy of a current driver’s license, lease, utility bill, financial statement or such other evidence as may be acceptable to the clerk to establish the individual’s current city residency. “It allows all individuals who reside in the city visibility,� Montanez said.

Each registry is then available for public inspection during normal city business hours.

The registry will include the name, address and phone number of each interested person.

Organizations will include the phone number of a designated contact person.

A resolution was passed declaring an intent to reimburse certain redevelopment project costs. The city will assume all responsibilities of initial funding for the TIF district process and will be reimbursed at a later date.

A resolution was passed to provide a feasibility study on the designation of areas as Redevelopment Project Areas. This resolution lets taxing districts know that they are in a TIF district area.

In other news, the council members also discussed the elevated water-storage tank, which has been in the works to replace for some time.

As of right now, work must be done on the current location on the northwest corner of South Main Street and Seventh Street to see if it is on a historical site.

Local tourism on the rise again

By KYLE CUNNINGHAM Greene Prairie Press With the aftermath of the flood subsiding, tourism continues to rise across the tri-county area mirroring growth across the state, according to early reports from the Illinois Department of Commerce’s Office of Tourism.

In 2018, visitors to the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau region which includes Greene, Jersey, Calhoun, Madison, Macoupin and Montgomery counties, spent $695.5 million, an increase of $28.72 million over 2017 which marks a 4.3 percent total increase of revenue. The region received local tax receipts of $18.64 million from visitor spending in 2018 compared to $18.12 million in 2017, marking a 2.9 percent overall revenue increase.

Additionally, job growth in the Great Rivers and Routes region has climbed slightly with a total of 5,050 full-time jobs in the tourism sectors. “These numbers are encouraging and show how vital tourism is to the local economy,� said Brett Stawar, president and CEO of the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau. “Our tourism sector is key to the continued economic growth of our region. The growth also shows the razor sharp focus of the Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau and how what we do helps drive in new visitors.�

Those dog kisses bring more than affection r e n n u R e Ridg

By BILL HOAGLAND As a dog owner, my family and I have had our share of “dog kisses” over the years.

It is pleasing to have an affectionate dog and one way they show affection is to lick you; it is something they learned as puppies.

As far as I know, our family has avoided any diseases as a result of those “dog kisses”.

Like many others, I remember being told as a child that a dog’s mouth is actually cleaner than a human’s mouth; as a result, I never really thought much about the potential for any serious condition to result from being exposed to a dog’s saliva.

Actually, nothing could be further from the truth; a dog’s mouth is filthy. Two recent cases involving humans contracting a debilitating disease as a result of a “dog kiss” have received a lot of publicity so perhaps it would be helpful to review the situation briefly.

First of all, it is estimated that most dogs have over 700 types of bacteria in their mouths, not counting what was in that horse ca-ca they chowed down on this morning. Some of these bacteria can be transmitted to humans and can result in a human illness.

Two of the better known and most harmful bacteria in a dog’s mouth are salmonella and E-coli, two types of bacteria that could make anyone sick. But the bacteria spread from dog saliva to humans that has been receiving attention recently is capnocytophaga; if transmitted from dog to human, this bacteria can ultimately lead to a sepsis infection and that is serious stuff.

This transmission occurs most often if you are bitten by a dog or if you permit a dog to lick an open wound, but it can also occur if the dog licks you in the mouth.

Within the past month, Marie Trainer, a woman in Ohio, developed what was ultimately diagnosed as “capnocytophaga canimorsus”; all indications are that it resulted because she allowed her dog to lick an open sore on her body. She eventually developed a sepsis infection and despite intensive treatment with antibiotics, she ultimately had to be put into an induced coma for 10 days. When she awoke, she discovered that both legs and both arms had been amputated to save her life.

A similar situation occurred in 2018 regarding Greg Manteufel, a man in Wisconsin. He

C H R O N IC L E S

also had significant direct contact with one or more dogs and also contracted “capnocytophaga canimorsus”, resulting in a sepsis infection and ultimately amputation of his hands and legs. He has had at least eight surgeries and may still need to have portions of his nose amputated. If you need further proof on how serious this can be, google those two names and see for yourself what can happen.

It ain’t pretty.

It is estimated that 70 percent of all dogs have the capnocytophaga bacteria in their saliva. Most humans, when exposed to the capnocytophaga bacteria via a “dog kiss”, have no ill effects. But if the saliva gets into the blood, such as will occur with a dog bite or allowing the dog to lick an open wound, or if certain types of persons are exposed to dog saliva via a “dog kiss”, such as babies, elderly people or people with weakened

immune systems, the risk is much greater.

We all love our dogs and enjoy the affection, but just remember to use some common sense when it comes to “dog kisses.”

Note, this column is about bacteria in a dog’s mouth.

We did not even touch on the parasites that dogs can share with humans: giardiasis, hookworms and tapeworms, for example.

Results don’t define stories, journeys do situations like this there’s always a risk, will be ending the season empty-handed.

It’s a result I am familiar with. When trophy hunting, one has to decide that the journey will be the success.

Not a meaningless journey, but one that will be filled with new information that could possibly lead to a buck of a lifetime. Nevertheless, the journey will be what the story is all about. It will be the plot and theme.

If I’m able to take one of these bucks, it will only be a necessary ending. Because all stories must have an end.

Your story is not the end.

The end is just necessary.

The end may or may not be what you thought it would be. In fact, the end will most likely be something you never expected. And it may or may not be long. It will most likely be only a

short pause in what is really your story.

Your story, instead, will be made up of small, seemingly insignificant, moments. It will be made up of activities and not titles.

While there may be some great accomplishment that outsiders will know you for; the most important ones in your life will see your story as something so much different. They will tell it to others not by saying “She did” but by saying “She was.” They will tell about you, describing your spirit, not your accomplishments.

While you may get the trophy you are after, the story will include things like patience, compassion, determination, and love.

And these will be what others will use to describe you.

Once again, however, there is risk in trophy hunting. It’s

that you might c o m e h o m e emptyhanded, but only emptyhanded concerning the end.

So, go ahead and reach for something rare. But don’t think, if by chance you can’t grab it, your story will be less. It won’t be. In fact, it won’t be any different. Only the end will be.

According to the Truth Initiative in 2017, 4.4 percent of adults used e-cigarettes, while an alarming 13.2 percent of Illinois high school students used electronic vapor products at least one day in the past 30 days, which is also the national average.

This year the American Association of Poison Control Centers have man-

aged 2,439 exposure cases about e-cigarette devices and liquid nicotine.

Another concerning fact about vaping is it is sparking a new generation of tobacco users that otherwise wouldn’t have existed. In 2015 alone, the U.S surgeon general reported that e-cigarette use among high school students had increased by 900 percent, and 40 percent of young e-cigarette users had never smoked regular tobacco.

Some symptoms linked to e-cigarette usage include coughing, shortness of breath and fatigue. One

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle.

This Sunday morning we welcomed Dennis and Dee Cunningham, our friends from Alton. Dee filled in for our pianist, who is on vacation. Farrell and Dennis each led the music and we enjoyed special music from Amber.

We also dedicated our new sidewalk and south entrance pad to the lord and prayed for those who will come into our church that they may hear the word of God and not the words of man. Our text came from the Book of John. I invite you to read these verses from the book

of John, John 6:35, 8:12, 10:9, 10:11, 11:25, 26, 14:6, 15:5. The gospel of Jesus Christ does not teach you “How To’s” but tells you that everything you need is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the “I Am.” Too many churches, pastors, ministers are preaching worldly knowledge and wisdom with false perverted Gospel. Anything that does not point, reveal and lead people to Jesus Christ is not the Gospel. Jesus Christ is salvation, the main purpose of the gospel, and anything that does not lead people

to Jesus Christ for salvation is not the gospel. After the morning service, we enjoyed a church-wide potluck and the tables were full of delicious dishes thanks to our church family. Our recent prayer requests are Margie, Jessica, Betty, baby Kalvin Leo Jennings, Ray/ Patty, Diane, praise from Harold, for the families who have recently lost loved ones. Wednesday evening Bible study has resumed at 6:30 p.m. and this week we will be studying about Rachel.

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:3 NIV

T

he Gospel of Luke’s version of the Beatitudes says that “Blessed are the poor,” (Luke 6:20), whereas Matthew’s version says “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” (Matthew 5:3) What this means is something that we should ponder. A person can be literally poor, i.e., have no money or material possessions, and yet be “rich and haughty in spirit.” On the other hand, it is possible to have lots of money and other material things and to be poor in spirit. Being poor in spirit entails that we should be humble and meek, and not arrogant and proud, as great wealth, or pretensions to wealth, can make us. Perhaps Luke’s formulation (blessed are the poor), is simply meant to illustrate that material poverty is the visible manifestation of being poor in spirit. Those who are materially poor realize that they are completely dependent on God for everything, from the food that sustains them to the clothes on their back and the roof over their heads. In reality, this is the

existential condition of all of us, but those who trust in their wealth and their ability to take care of themselves don’t realize how dependent they are on God. Being poor in spirit goes hand in hand with the wisdom of trusting in God: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5 NIV) Finally, we should take note that this is the first of the beatitudes, and it comes with an implicit promise.

Bar rooted in agriculture makes way to Carrollton square

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Greene Prairie Press It’s been almost a week since Carrollton’s newest bar opened on the square, and according to public reaction, it’s a hit.

The Grain Bin, which officially opened Monday, Aug. 5, is the brainchild of Jerry and Sue Schmidt. The couple recently moved back to the area after 30 years away, and have been looking for a way to reconnect with and serve the community.

Surprisingly, according to the Schmidts, remodeling and opening the bar was the easy part of the undertaking. “The experience of remodeling comes easy to Jerry. We had a couple of similar

places in Quincy, in which Jerry spent time remodeling them with much success,� Sue Schmidt explained. “[But now] we are looking forward to serving this community. We just hope for the Grain Bin [will] be a fun place people enjoy coming to and hanging out with friends.�

The Schmidts are hoping to create a funloving atmosphere that keeps the community coming back with a number of attractions including a full bar, pool table, dart boards and a jukebox, as well as gaming machines slated to be installed later this month.

However, they’re also very much aware of other needs and facets of the local community.

According to Sue, that’s why they decided

to name the bar The Grain Bin. “The Grain Bin just fits with Carrollton being a farming community - we wanted to make it agriculture-based,� she explained.

That understanding of the community and its needs also explains the Schmidt’s decision to keep the bar open long hours, so that it can serve Carrollton’s early risers with coffee service starting at 8 a.m. six days a week, as well as provide a hangout for the late night crowd.

However, the couple is still fine tuning the services they offer. “(We) still have a few things to complete, but glad to be open,� Sue said.

Among those plans are establishing a full menu. While The Grain Bin currently offers

Republican lawmaker calling to introduce death penalty bill

By REBECCA ANZEL Capitol News Illinois A Republican state lawmaker is calling for the resurrection of the death penalty in Illinois after two mass shootings in the U.S. and recent gun violence in Chicago.

Barrington Hills Rep. David McSweeney said he will either sponsor or co-sponsor some version of a measure overturning the abolishment former Gov. Pat Quinn placed on capital punishment eight years ago. Former Gov. George Ryan had placed a moratorium on the death penalty in 2000.

At the time, Quinn said Illinois should not have a system in place that might result in the erroneous execution of citizens. McSweeney said “eliminating the death penalty was a terrible mistake.� “It has been a complete failure,� he said.

Mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, on Aug. 3-4 killed 31 people. In Chicago last weekend, four people were killed and 43 injured in gun-related violence, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. “Texas officials are pursuing the death penalty against the coward racist who targeted Mexican Americans in El Paso. We should have that tool in the state of Illinois,� McSweeney said. “The time to act is now, because the death penalty is a deterrent that we need to protect our citizens. No one can argue the state of Illinois is a model for how to fight crime.�

In part, Quinn’s argument for signing legislation making Illinois the 16th state to abolish capital punishment was the lack of advancement in DNA testing, McSweeney said. But DNA technology has progressed “light years� beyond its stage in 2011, he added, to be the “key to ensuring there are no wrong-

ful convictions.� “I want to make sure there are safeguards,� he said.

According to a Pew Research Center study published last year, 54 percent of Americans support capital punishment for those convicted of murder. That number is up from 49 percent two years prior. Thirty-nine percent of people oppose the death penalty.

McSweeney is not the only Illinois politician to express support for capital punishment. In an unexpected move last year, former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner proposed reviving the death penalty by using his amendatory veto power on a firearms measure that needed his signature to become law.

The legislation would have extended the 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases to include assault weapons. Rauner wrote in his veto message that the proposal did not go far enough to prevent gun violence incidents and other public safety concerns.

His addition would have created a new category of crime — a “death penalty murder� — that encompassed anyone 18 or older who killed two or more people “without lawful justification� or if the victim is a police officer. “The ultimate public safety objectives of this bill would be better served with comprehensive solutions,� he wrote, which included a ban on bump stocks, the addition of mental health and law enforcement personnel in schools, and “reintroducing the death penalty for the most egregious cases.�

The General Assembly did not vote on Rauner’s proposal, effectively running out the clock on the bill.

Before Rauner’s push last year, Illinois’ staunchest supporter of the death penalty in state politics argu-

ably was former Republican Rep. John Cavaletto, from Salem.

Cavaletto’s last iteration of a measure to reinstate the death penalty would have applied to persons older than 18 who were convicted of first-degree murder for killing a police officer, firefighter, employee of a correctional agency, or a child; or for killing more than one person.

Cavaletto’s legislation never moved out of committee, and McSweeney said he knows he faces an uphill battle with the Democratically-controlled General Assembly. “This one will have a lot of opposition. I don’t think it’s going to happen in the short run, but it’s an issue I will continue to focus on — through public education and through pointing out and proving the advances in DNA technology,� he said. “I believe it’s the right thing to do.�

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, filed legislation to strike the use of capital punishment by the federal government. The move came after President Donald Trump’s administration announced last month it would resume the use of the death penalty for the first time in 16 years. “Try as we might, we cannot escape the fact that the death penalty in America is disproportionately imposed on minorities and poor people,� Durbin said in a news release.

But McSweeney said a capital punishment measure is worth having a discussion about in a committee hearing. “There needs to be a coordinated effort between state officials and the federal government to once and for all end this problem of violence in the city and in our state,� he said. “We need to get tough on crime again in this state and defend our citizens.�

Pritzker calls for federal action to address gun violence  Remarks come in the wake of week with three mass shootings in U.S.

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday called on congressional leaders, particularly Republicans, to push for strong federal gun control laws, including universal background checks and a ban on high-capacity magazines. “Remember, it takes leadership in Congress,� Pritzker said. “It is usually the Republican leaders who are unwilling to do this, and so I would call on the leadership in Congress and the president to stand up and address the issues of gun violence, to address the issues of high-capacity magazines, to address the issues of universal background checks.�

Pritzker responded to questions from reporters during an event Monday in Chicago. His remarks came in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting Saturday in El Paso, Texas, that left at least 22 people dead. That was

followed by another shooting early Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed.

Days earlier, a shooter in Gilroy, California, opened fire on a crowd attending the town’s annual garlic festival on Sunday, July 28, that left four people dead, including the gunman.

Pritzker’s remarks were given shortly after President Donald Trump delivered a televised address.

Trump suggested he could support stricter background checks for gun purchases, possibly in combination with changes in immigration law, but he stopped short of calling for restrictions on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines such as those used in a number of recent mass shootings. “The president seems to like to pretend he’s going to do something, ‌ and then he does nothing about it or reverses himself on it. So we need action, and we need action now,â€? Pritzker said.

Soon after taking office in January, Pritzker signed a bill passed during the 2018 legislative session requiring federally-licensed gun dealers in Illinois to also obtain a state license. That new law also imposes a number of new restrictions on gun dealers.

But speaking Monday, Pritzker said individual states like Illinois are limited in what they can do on their own, and he said only the federal government can make meaningful changes. “Because as you know, people can go across the border into Indiana and to Missouri and to Kentucky where they have very little limitation on people’s ability to get high-capacity magazines or guns, and they just cross right back over the border,� Pritzker said. We’re doing everything we can to interdict those, because those are illegal transfers of guns across the border, but federal legislation would go a long way here.�

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday that people applying for Medicaid benefits in Illinois will see those applications processed more quickly, and health care providers will be paid more promptly, under a comprehensive reform bill now signed into law.

“This legislation launches one of the most aggressive, cross-agency efforts in Illinois history to expand health care access and to eliminate the multi-year Medicaid backlog once and for all,” Pritzker said during a bill-signing ceremony in Chicago.

Medicaid is a publicly-funded health insurance program for lowincome families, seniors and the disabled. Established in 1966, it is jointly funded by the state and federal governments and it is the largest health insurance program in Illinois, covering nearly 3 million individuals, or nearly one quarter of the state’s population.

Illinois operates its Medicaid program under what’s known as a “managed care” model. That means people who are covered by the system enroll in a plan administered by private

insurance companies, known as managed care organizations, or MCOs. Those companies, in turn, are paid a flat, monthly per-person rate, which they use to pay for each person’s medical care.

In recent years, though, the Illinois program, called HealthChoice Illinois, has been plagued with a backlog of applications from individuals trying to get into the program as well as people trying to renew their coverage.

The backlog, defined as applications that have not been processed within 45 days of their submission, peaked around 121,000 cases during former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration and now is about 95,000.

Health care providers have also complained about slow payments from the MCOs as well as high rates of claim denials.

Senate Bill 1321, which was drafted by the bipartisan Medicaid Legislative Working Group, seeks to address both of those issues.

Among other things, it requires the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services to set up a new claims clearinghouse to collect and

analyze data about medical bills and to adjudicate claims. That agency will also establish a dispute resolution process and will act as the arbiter in disagreements between providers and MCOs. The new law also requires MCOs to pay claims within 30 days and to make expedited payments to providers that serve large numbers of Medicaid patients, including longterm care facilities where more than 80 percent of the patients are on Medicaid, safety net hospitals and government-owned providers.

And the bill calls for streamlining the process of determining people’s eligibility and calls for changes that will allow more Medicaid recipients to be renewed automatically.

“This legislation expands access to care,” said House Majority Leader Greg Harris, D-Chicago. “It cuts bureaucracy; it adds transparency (and) accountability to the eligibility system.”

Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, echoed that sentiment, saying, “As a result of these reforms Illinois will be able to deliver health care more seamlessly, leading to better health outcomes.”

Greene County Police Report

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

Fall can also be time for planting Planting a vegetable garden doesn’t just have to occur in the spring. Many of the vegetables that we grow in the spring can be also planted in late summer or early fall.

By the time summer rolls around many of our cool season plants that were planted in the spring are past their prime. They become tough and bitter and will often bolt (flower).

By planting these cool season crops again you can extend your gardening season and have fresh produce throughout the fall.

There are several other advantages to planting a fall vegetable garden. There are often fewer pest and weed problems in the fall compared to the spring. Many vegetables have better quality when they are grown in the fall. Additionally, some vegetables will also develop better flavor when grown in the fall, particularly after they have gone through a frost. Finally, fall gardens often require less time and labor because the soil has already been worked in the spring.

Vegetables that are typically grown in a fall vegetable garden fall into the semi-hardy and hardy categories. Semi-hardy plants such as beets, carrots, cauliflower, and lettuce can tolerate light frosts (32°F). Hardy plants such as broccoli, cabbage, radishes, and spinach can tolerate hard frosts (28°F).

To determine when you should plant your vegetables you need to determine when your first frost usually occurs. For central Illinois, it is generally mid-October. Start with that date and count backwards for the number of days it takes the crop to mature. It’s also a good idea to add a week or two for the fall factor because temperatures are getting cooler so development slows compared to spring when temperatures get warmer. Most of the vegetables you grow in the fall veg-

etable garden can be directly seeded in the garden. Some like broccoli and cauliflower are best done as transplants. Unfortunately, transplants are not easy to find in the summer for these plants, so to make your own start the seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before you wish to put them in the garden (it’s a little too late this year, but as they say there’s always next year‌).

Planting your fall garden really isn’t much different than starting your garden in the spring. Remove any crop residues from previous crops and pull any weeds that may be present. Soil can also be tilled and one to one and a half pounds of an all-purpose fertilizer (per 100 sq ft) or composted organic matter can be incorporated. When planting seeds, follow the directions on the seed packets.

Make sure to keep the soil moist until the seeds have germinated. Because the seeds are being planted at the end of summer, the soil moisture will need to be monitored closely.

It is also helpful to provide some shade to seedlings in the afternoon while the temperatures are still high and the plants have yet to become well established. Once your plants have become established the maintenance is just like any other garden, make sure to control weeds and pests if necessary and water when needed. Finally, sit back and enjoy the fruits (or vegetables) of your labor.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: A light covering of mulch or even a board can be placed over the seeds to help retain moisture in the soil. If using a board make sure check under it frequently for sprouting seed and remove it once the seeds germinate. Checking the seed packet will give you an idea of how many days it will take for the seeds to germinate.

SCHOOL/PUBLIC NOTICES/NEWS

Hundreds of citations issued in state speed awareness campaign Illinois State Police (ISP) officials announce the results of the statewide Illinois Speed Awareness Day campaign, which took place on Wednesday, July 24.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker proclaimed July 24, 2019, as Illinois Speed Awareness Day with the goal of encouraging the public to recognize the importance of speed awareness and driving safely. The ISP took a proactive approach to promote safety for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists through enforcement and education. ISP officers conducted nine presentations throughout the state to educate the public on the dangers of speeding and the importance of obeying the posted speed limit.

During the 24-hour reporting period, Troopers issued 876 speed-related traffic citations and 681 speed-related written

warnings. Troopers also issued 391 citations and 848 written warnings for other traffic related offenses during the reporting period. “These enforcement efforts and the hard work of our officers were instrumental in preventing injuries and saving lives,� said ISP Acting Director Brendan F.
