Time to soar Area nature lovers and bird watchers can take advantage this weekend of the Bald Eagle Watch Weekend, held each year on the fourth weekend of January at the Illinois Water Visitor Center, located across the Illinois River from Starved Rock State Park near Utica. Eagles can be seen perched in trees on Leopold and Plum islands or fishing below the Starved Rock Lock and Dam. Members of the Starved Rock Audubon Society will be on hand to share spotting scopes for close up views of the eagles.

For persons who want to stay a bit closer to home, eagles can traditionally be seen along the Hennepin Canal and Illinois River as well. The Bald Eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States.

As can easily be seen, the Bald Eagle is not actually bald, but rather has white feathers on its head.

The top 10 scams of 2013

Meeting Calendar Jan. 27

CHICAGO — Topping the list of scam activity for 2013 is advance fee brokers, accounting for more than 45-percent of scam inquiries to the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois (BBB).

Advance fee brokers are usually empty promises for a personal or business loan requiring payment of a fee in advance. This scam attracts vulnerable consumers who need cash urgently.

Coming in a close second is work-at-home scams.

This scam lures consumers by using get-rich-quick approaches.

Seeking Sources

money or some type of personal information, such as a credit card or Social Security number, to verify being a winner. In the end, no prize is awarded, and the personal information is then used to withdraw a victim’s money from accounts or for identity theft.

Paving, painting and home improvement by “traveling” workers. Never pay upfront to a “traveling” contractor who just happens to be in the neighborhood, is doing work nearby, or has extra materials. The technique to get your money often requires you to pay for added materials. Once you pay the contractor, he disappears with the money, and no work is ever done.

Having access to your property also provide an opportunity for these people to check what valuables you may have for a future burglary or ID theft.

Pyramid companies. Pyramid schemes within companies are fraudulent because returns to investors are paid from personal money or the money paid by the newest investors, rather than from any actual profit earned by an individual or organization running the operation. These scams collapse because payouts exceed investments, or because the legal authorities prosecute the organizers for sale of unregistered securities. Often the organizers simply disappear with funds sent to them.

Sweepstakes. If you don’t remember entering a sweepstakes, be very suspicious about being declared a winner. If the prize provider wants you to send money or give your Social Security number to receive your prize, take no action. If you send money you will likely never receive a prize or you will get a prize of lesser value than the money you’ve sent.

Debt relief services (non-compliant with FTC rules).

The Federal Trade Commission has established rules for debt relief services (for profit businesses that represent that they renegotiate, settle or alter the terms of payment for an unsecured debt). The FTC rule governs disclosures and representations that debt relief services can make and does not allow advance fees. There are legitimate debt relief companies that comply with the FTC rule, and the Better Business Bureau is identifying only the non-compliant companies as scams.

“Before giving any company your personal or financial information, review the business on the BBB website,” said Bernas. “And remember, if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.”

‘The Quiet Season’ It snowed overnight.

You saw it first thing this morning, and you grumbled. You know how much extra work that stuff is: shoveling, brushing, scraping. Everything needs more time to warm up and get going – including you.

Sure, snow Terri is pretty …

Schlichenmeyer for about 10 minutes. Or, as you’ll see in “The Quiet Season”

by Jerry Apps, it’s beautiful for a lifetime.

Born to a pair of farmers in the “midst of the Great Depression,” Jerry Apps says that, save but for his time spent in the Army, he’s never missed a Wisconsin winter. For folks in snowy climes, winter reminds us that “we are not in charge,” he says.

The winters of 19391947 were particularly memorable for Apps.

Electricity hadn’t yet come to his parents’ farm — it didn’t arrive until the spring of ’47 — which meant that milking cows and fetching water was all done by hand. Dinner was made on a wood-burning stove that served both to prepare food and to heat the kitchen. Homework for the three Apps boys was done by kerosene lamp.

Apps remembers how his father prepared for winter by “making wood” from dead oak trees and hauling it closer to the house. The family butchered a hog every fall because they “needed the meat if we were going to survive the long winter.” Produce from garden and field was laid in for the season.

Even when there was

a snowstorm, the three Apps boys had to walk to school and they tried not to miss a day. The season’s first snow was especially exciting; says Apps, he and his classmates were “running around like we were possessed by first snowfall demons.” As white stuff piled up, his teacher in the one-room schoolhouse tapped one of the bigger children to shovel a path to the outhouses.

Apps recalls playing in the snow, and wading through waist-high drifts.

He remembers hunting in it, travelling by car and on foot through it, and hoping that Santa could handle it. He recalls when neighbors took care of neighbors and dances were held in someone’s dining room.

And he remembers the perfection of winter some 70 years ago, its loveliness and its magic.

I’m not sure where it came from, but reading “The Quiet Season” gave me a definite sense of pulse-slowing calmness.

Maybe that’s because author Jerry Apps — who often mentions his

Cliffnotes “The Quiet Season: Remembering Country Winters” by Jerry Apps. 2013, Wisconsin Historical Society Press. $22.95/higher in Canada. 150 pages.

love of a good story — is himself the teller of tales that circle around community in a TV-less, packed-calendar-free, horse-drawn but hardworking world that fewer and fewer folks remember. They’re told with awe, gratitude, grace, more than a little kneeslapping — and lots of love for the way things were, the rotation of the seasons, the bounty of the land, and the perseverance of its people.

This is the kind of book that elders will read and read again. It’s a book you’ll want to give to a whiner. It’s one you’ll be glad to curl up with because, though it’s mostly about winter, “The Quiet Season” will leave you warm.

Terri Schlichenmeyer is a book reviewer from West Salem, Wis. She may be contacted at bookwormsez@yahoo. com.

PRINCETON — The Prairie Arts Council will offer a four-week beginning drawing class for high school age and adults from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays from Feb. 11 to March 4.

This class is offered for the student with little or no drawing experience. In most cases, drawing is a helpful, if not required, skill when composing a painting. Learn how to see things differently, as a teacher Sheila L. Heth guides participants through some drawing techniques.

Participants will learn shading, contouring and other elements of good drawing skills. They should bring an ebony pencil, kneaded eraser, sketching pencil #HB and a 9-by-12-inch sketch book.

Heth has taught art to all ages from kindergarten to adults for almost 30 years. She has won various teaching awards and her students have earned many awards and scholarships for their artwork. Heth’s personal artwork has been seen throughout the world.
