By BETH ZUMWALT Scott Count y Times Winchester High School is an official home of a Key Club, a leadership based organization affiliated with Kiwanis International.

“Kiwanis International, is for the adults,” Chuck Frost, president of the Kiwanis when the two year process to make the WHS Leadership Club a Key Club. “A Builders Club is for junior high, Key Club is for high school, Circle Club is for college and Kiwanis International is the adult level.”

Frost said the high school formed a leadership group about four years ago when he was president.

“I thought to myself they are doing all the things a Key Club could do,” he said.

The process has been a lengthy one. Dave Roberts, a Kiwanis member and former superintendent of the district submitted the application form and the club received its charter Oct. 28.

The formal induction ceremony was last week.

“It was for sophomores, juniors and seniors,” Roberts said. “Freshman are not eligible to join until second semester. We have 41 now and after winter break, I expect us to be over 50 in membership.”

The local Kiwanis Club paid the membership fee for the club and also the dues for each member this first year.

“They can help us with projects and vice versa,” Frost said. “They did the

To date more than 40 students at Winchester High School have joined the Key Club, sponsored by the local Kiwannis Club. After the Christmas break, freshmen will be eligible to join the club and will hopefully raise the membership to more than 50. There are nearly 200 students in WHS meaning 25 percent have shown interest in the club that promotes community service, volunteerism and leadership.

Christmas Parade two years in a row. They helped with muffins with mom and doughnuts with dad at the grade school.”

Frost and Roberts both say the plan is two fold.

First to get help and to help with projects and secondly to increase membership in the adult level Kiwanis International.

“More and more younger people are choosing not to join formal volunteer groups,” Roberts said.

“We hope Key Club will encourage these students to join if they stay in Winchester and if they move somewhere else to join a Kiwanis Club there. We are also hopeful some parents will join once they see their children’s involvement.

The club has elected officers: President Millie Lashmett, Vice President Cole Howard, Secretary, Halie Daniel, Treasurer, Gabe Cox, Editor, Shaylee Lomelino, Webmaster, Laurel Albers, Senior Class Director, Samantha Ayala, Junior Class Director, Zoe Evans and Sophomore Class Tristan Lashmett.

Dakota Beavers is the faculty advisor and Roberts is the Kiwanis advisor.

Is Cabela’s serious about new Christmas advertisement?

By BILL HOAGLAND Christmas is coming, and like many others, I struggle to find a gift for certain people in my family.

So to get some ideas, I like to look at the Cabela/ Bass Pro circular in particular, since there are a number of outdoor enthusiasts in the family. Last week, I was looking at the most recent Cabela Christmas circular and a particular item in the “toy” section caught my attention.

It was a plastic handgun that looked more like a sawed-off shotgun than a pistol. According to the

ad, it shoots table salt. The ad does not say how many grains of salt are expelled at once, but hopefully we are not talking about a “shotgun blast” of salt with each pull of the trigger.

But what really caught my attention was the promotional language that accompanied the text.

The ad said that this item is “safe for kids and pets!”

Let’s start with the “pets”.

Does Cabela’s think that your dog will be thrilled to find this gun under the tree with his name on the package? I don’t know about your dogs, but mine are

not “packing any heat” (as far as I know) and none of them are getting a gun for Christmas—plastic or otherwise.

So why would this toy “be safe for pets”? Does Cabela’s suspect your pet will become the usual target when no adults are around? I can understand why some kids would be tempted to shoot a moving target that yelps when hit, but why empower a fiendish child with a gun that shoots table salt anyway?

And is this toy really “safe for kids”? I guess it depends on how you define

kids. The ad gives no clue.

But it does say that this gun “is a nightmare for flies within three feet.”

“Nightmare” is not a word that seems appropriate for a toy gun advertisement but what do I know?

Maybe that word really “triggers” sales. From other literature in the ad, it sounds as if this gun is supposed to be used inside the house to shoot flies.

That sure sounds like “fun times” to me until a child gets a grain of salt in the eye, and you are spending the rest of Christmas Day in the emergency room.

Frankly, if you have enough flies in your house that the kids will have a blast after Christmas gunning them down, maybe your home needs more than a toy gun that shoots grains of table salt.

––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for

more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life. Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County.

Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Confidence cannot stand without knowledge My friend just ended his Hunters and fishermen will tell you about the importance of confidence.

It is really a major part of the battle when it comes to patience and persistence. For instance, if I know I have always caught fish in a certain hole; I will fish that hole slower and with a greater awareness of an imminent bite.

I also must have confidence in the bait I’m using. It can be the latest and greatest invention, but without my added confidence it’s most likely to find itself in an unused section in the bottom of my tackle box. And what can I say about confidence when it comes to boredom?

The two cannot survive together. One will always push the other into the corner of the boat. In hunting, confidence comes

from knowing you are in the right place and that at any time you might have the opportunity for a shot. It causes you to get to the woods early, stay late, and forgo lunch.

Confidence brings excitement. What we all must remember, however, about confidence, is it is the byproduct of something else – knowledge.

Confidence can never stand on its own.

It must have something to prop it up. That something is knowledge. Therefore, if our knowledge is unfounded then our confidence will be as well. You can see how important it is then, to know the truth. In deer hunting, the scenario might go like this.

We set a stand in the same place we did last year without scouting. Last year, the

acorns were plentiful and the deer abundant. We get to the stand before light, excited about the possibilities. Our confidence is out the roof. As daylight exposes the trees around us, we begin to gaze at each one and find out none have acorns.

Immediately, the confidence we had earlier, now becomes doubt, discouragement and distrust.

No matter how much confidence we may have in that area, the truth says different.

As a Christian, my confidence doesn’t need to come from the circumstances or situations around me. If I were to only look at the bad things that happen to me from an earthly perspective, I would have no confidence in my ability to overcome.

And conversely, when good things hap-

pen, I would have the needed confidence to continue.

But, my confidence must come from something that is less fickle than the circumstances around me. It must come from the truth found in the word of God. If you and I will look at the events in our lives in the light of scripture, we can have confidence that, know matter what the circumstances appear to be, we have hung our life’s stand in the right tree.

Roger Campbell Ministries

Have a postive, peaceful Christmas A long email arrived from a discouraged woman. Like many during this festive feasting season, she’d been losing the battle of the bulge; and this after a year of successful weight loss. Using a faith-based lifestyle of discipline and activity, she had shed forty-eight pounds, but had now quickly added thirteen.

What caused this gain of unwanted pounds and her feeling of failure? She says it all started with eating one or two M&Ms. How do you comfort a person whose discipline has been decimated by such a tiny transgression? I chose to contact her immediately, complimenting her on her successes.

She is still thirty five pounds lighter than a year ago. Why not focus on her achievements instead of her recent lapse of control?

Now her email assured me that this one whose confidence had been crushed by two

small pieces of candy was already back on track. She was planning to talk to her pastor about starting a group in her church for others who need to learn that God cares about every part of our lives and will enable us to achieve what is best for us.

Clashes of faith and doubt, positives and negatives, confront us continually. This was brought to my attention recently in an article titled “Where is Peace?” written by our son, Timothy, who, along with myriad other responsibilities, edits a newspaper.

See if you can identify with his story of a late night journey from perplexity to peace: “This old world we call home seems at times to be little more than a ‘ball of confusion,’ spinning evermore out of control day by day. War, famine, drought and disease monopolize the international news while our domestic headlines decry a culture of violent crime, greed, hedonism

and family dysfunction and dissolution.

“A few weeks back, I stood out in the paddock praying and unwinding with my horse as he enjoyed a late dinner of Equine Senior and a few carrots. My thoughts were on the ever turbulent situation in the Middle East and I lamented with Jeremiah, “‘Peace, peace,’ they say, ‘but there is no peace.’”

“And then on the northern horizon I saw in all their splendor, Aurora Borealis – the Northern Lights - something of a rarity at our latitude. To the east, a meteorite streaked the night sky and I was overcome with the peace of knowing the ‘Lord of Heaven and Earth.’”

Henry W. Longfellow faced a similar quandary over the “peace on earth” of the Christmas message and the reality of a violent and unjust world. In his enduring carol, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,” he describes his inner conflict over the appar-

ent contradiction and his ultimate, comforting conclusion: “And in despair, I bowed my head: There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will to men.”

“Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead: nor doth He sleep, The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men.”

From weight problems to world political crises, we need never despair. Christmas says God loves us, every one. And the miracle of the nativity negates negativism; promising personal peace through faith, and, finally, good will to men.

Resolve to read and reap more benefits It may be tempting to curl up on the couch and turn on the television to unwind, but research indicates that reading is one of the best workouts for the brain. The World Health Organization says that doctors diagnose nearly 10 million new cases of dementia each year. With so many people understandably concerned about any and all cognitive issues related to aging, the search is continually on to find ways to strengthen the mind's muscle. It may be as simple as picking up a book.

People make New Year's resolutions to improve their lives, and reading more can be a great way to do just that. According to the online health and wellness resource The Healthy (www.thehealthy.com), reading has

been associated with language reception in the left temporal cortex of the brain.

When this part of the brain processes written material, neurons begin working hard to transmit information. Research conducted

by Stanford University indicated that MRI scans of people who are deep into a Jane Austen novel showed an increase in blood flowing to areas of the brain that control both cognitive and executive function.

When the brain is working efficiently, it may be less prone to some of the issues that can cause a decline in memory and brain function. Research published in the journal Neurology found frequent brain exercise through reading lowered mental decline by 32

percent.

Of course, the benefits of reading extend beyond the physical. Literary fiction can help people be more empathetic. Getting lost in a book and the characters' stories makes others more relatable. Reading has the potential to help a person understand what people are thinking, offers research published in the journal Science.

Picking up a good book also can help a person gain knowledge of new cultures, ideas and history and even improve vocabulary.

Picking up a newspaper or magazine, joining a book club or reading with children are just a few of the many ways to improve the mind through reading.

What is occupational wellness?

Wellness is a broad term that can refer to various aspects of daily life.

Disciplines like yoga and meditation might be the first things to come to mind when people think of wellness, but focusing on wellness at work can have positive, lasting effects on overall well-being as well.

Occupational wellness is not necessarily a familiar term, but it's something that most professionals strive for.

According to the Student Health and Counseling Services at the University of California, Davis, occupational wellness inspires people to find work from which they will gain personal satisfaction and find enrichment.

Occupational wellness promotes the exploration of various career options and the pursuit of those opportunities that most appeal to each individual.

While it may seem like common sense to aspire for an engaging, enjoy-

able career, the effect that finding such a career can have on overall well-being might not be so apparent. In an analysis of a recent Gallup World Poll, a survey that asks hundreds of thousands of workers across the globe about their jobs and their job satisfaction, Harvard Business Review found there is a correlation between job satisfaction and life evaluations. People who report being satisfied with their jobs seem to be happier overall.

So how can one embrace the concept of occupational wellness? UC Davis offers individuals the following suggestions as they begin their journeys to occupational wellness. ¡ Perform some self-reflection.

Reflect on yourself and what you need out of a job. Are there certain occupational tasks you enjoy? Are there some you find burdensome? Identifying those you enjoy and those you feel are

onerous can help you narrow down your options to careers you will find engaging and rewarding. ¡ Consider unpaid work and volunteer opportunities. Even though they don't pay, unpaid work and volunteer opportunities can still enrich your life and provide personal satisfaction.

Such opportunities should not be overlooked. ¡ Practice open communication and proper conflict management with colleagues. Negative working environments can be stressful, leading to dissatisfaction on the job. Openly communicating with colleagues and resolving conflicts in a proper, professional way can foster a positive working environment, potentially contributing to greater job satisfaction.

Prioritizing occupational wellness can help people live happier, more fulfilling lives.

How to find time to travel

Travel is a popular pastime that many people plan to embrace upon retiring. However, adults need not wait for their golden years to arrive to take to the friendly skies or answer the call of the nearest highway.

Would-be travelers who feel that traveling is a luxury they can't afford may be surprised to learn just how many people travel each year.

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals across the globe in 2018. Many of those 1.4 billion people no doubt had professional and personal obligations that could have prevented them from traveling, but they still found a way to head off for parts unknown.

A lack of time to travel is something people often cite when lamenting their inability to get out and see the world. In many instances, that perceived lack of time can be overcome, paving the way for potentially life-changing trips. ¡ Use your vacation days to go on vacation. A recent report from researchers with the U.S. Travel Association, Oxford Economics and Ipsos found that Americans failed to use 768 million vacation days in 2018. And that's just American workers. A recent study

from the travel site Expedia.ca found that Canadians allow tens of millions of vacation days to go unused each year.

Studies have shown that using vacation time can make employees feel better about their jobs and even contribute positively to their productivity. Unused vacation days are days that could be spent traveling, and all professionals have to do is take the days off, which many professionals have in abundance.

In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that the average American worker with five years of experience at a company was given 15 days of paid vacation per year, while those with 20 years of experience were given 20 paid vacation days. In Canada, the Expedia.ca study found that the average Canadian receives roughly 17 days off per year. ¡ Make better use of weekends.

Professionals who work traditional Monday through Friday schedules have nearly one-third of the year off already.

Weekends add up to 104 days per year, and that's 104 days people could be traveling. Even if you're limited to local traveling on weekends, those 104 built-in off days provide substantial time to get out and see some sights. ¡ Turn traditional weekends into

three-day weekends. Speaking of weekends, professionals who feel they have more vacation and personal time than they could possibly use should consider turning more traditional weekends into three-day weekends. You likely won't fall far behind at work by taking a few random Mondays off per year, but that extra day can provide ample time to travel. In addition, Monday flights tend to be less expensive than Sunday flights, making travel more affordable. ¡ Work remotely, even if it's just for one or two weeks per year. Technology has made it easier than ever to work outside of a traditional office setting.

Professionals who want to travel more should inquire about working remotely for one or two weeks per year. Doing so can afford more time to travel as professionals can simply take their work with them on the road. However, do your homework before making such arrangements for overseas travel, as some countries may forbid foreign workers from working within their borders without first obtaining work visas, which can be difficult if not impossible to get.

Traveling takes time, but many professionals have more time on their hands than they might think.

Why Worry When You Can Pray?

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.�

Philippians 4:6 NIV

uman beings are naturally inclined to worry. Perhaps it is an evolutionary holdover from more dangerous times, when a lack of vigilance could easily lead to ruin. And even now, there are plenty of things to worry about, as every newscast is quick to remind us. The philosopher George Santayana claimed that one of the tenets of what he called “animal faith� is that there are things in the world that we can eat, and things in the world that can eat us! This is probably why all successful species have developed successful defenses, including effective vigilance, or even hyper-vigilance. But whereas squirrels and other small animals need to be hyper-vigilant, since hawks and cats are effective predators, human beings have created for ourselves a generally safe environment, and unless you are crossing a busy street, or working with potentially dangerous equipment, there probably isn’t much you need to worry about right now. All the major religions tell us to chill out, or in religious language, to trust in God. The natural tendency to worry and be vigilant is adaptive in some environments, but supremely maladaptive in others. Therefore, stop worrying. Your next meal is probably in the refrigerator. You have clothes and a roof over your head, and really, what more do you need? –Christopher Simon
