2014 Illinois Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey yields record count SPRINGFIELD – A record-setting number of American bald eagles was reported during the annual Illinois Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey coordinated by the Illinois Audubon Society. Volunteers tallied 5,975 birds between the dates of Jan. 1 and Jan. 15.

Extremely cold temperatures in northern parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin caused a surge in the numbers of over-wintering birds along the Illinois waterways. Survey routes are located on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers with additional routes on the Ohio and Wabash rivers, Crab Orchard Lake, Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area and Carlyle Lake.

According to Tom Clay, the society’s executive director, “Our 2014 survey surpassed 2013 (2,325 total) and topped the highest recorded count (since 1992) of 4,292 reported in 2008.”

The largest populations of the eagles spotted were counted along the Mississippi River (93.6 percent of the overall total), followed by 4.4 percent observed on the Illinois River and 2 percent sighted on the remaining routes. The number of adults versus immature eagles reported on these surveys, an important indicator of recovery and survival,

remains at 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively.

Nationally, this effort is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The goal of the survey is to maintain the long-term, national coordination of the surveys collected, analysis of that data, and reporting of the results. Locally, survey data collected provides information on eagle trends, distribution and habitat and helps create public interest in bald eagles and their conservation.

Information regarding the 2014 survey and previous years’ data can be obtained by calling the Illinois Audubon Society at 217.544.2473.

The mission of the Illinois Audubon Society is to promote the perpetuation and appreciation of native plants and animals and the habitats that support them. The Illinois Audubon Society is an independent, member supported, not-for-profit, statewide organization. Founded in 1897, the society is Illinois’ oldest private conservation organization with over 2,300 members, 20 chapters and 17 affiliate groups.

The Illinois Audubon Society has protected over 3,300 acres by investing more than $6.6 million to protect land and water throughout Illinois.

Enjoy the 64th Oregon Antique Show Annual event is set for March 29-30 OREGON, Ill. — The Oregon Woman’s Club is proud to announce their 64th annual antique show. Many changes have taken place during the past 60-plus years developing one of the premier antique shows in Northern Illinois. This year is no exception with the addition of new dealers (five states represented), it is shaping up to be another great event.

The Oregon Woman’s Club, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, sponsors this show as a major fundraising event and uses the proceeds to help fund various community projects and charities.

As in past years, the show will be held at the Blackhawk Center Sports Arena, located on the Oregon public school campus. The facility offers ample parking, handicap accessibility and a huge area for 52 Midwest antique dealers to display their

merchandise for sale. Quality antiques from the early 1800s through the retro era of the 1950s includes all areas of collecting — furniture, glass, china, pottery, toys, primitives, textiles, jewelry, dolls, silver, decorator items and more. There will be items for all collecting tastes and budgets, for both the new and advanced collector.

“We like to think of it as comfort food for the eyes,” an event spokesperson said.

The food concession will be provided by the Chana United Methodist Ladies. The menu will include homemade chicken and noodles, sloppy joes and various other sandwiches, chips, beverages and a selection of desserts.

Mary Lou’s Crystal Repair from Joliet will be on hand both days to repair a person’s damaged heirlooms while they wait.

On Sunday, Munda & Asso-

ciates, Auctioneers & Appraisers, Freeport, will offer verbal appraisals of small treasures for $5 per item. Please supply photos of large items. If a written appraisal is needed, discuss details with Munda & Associates.

Show times are Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Entry to the show is $6 per person, which is good for both days.

Door prizes will be awarded throughout the day, both days of the show.

Location is the Blackhawk Center, 1101 W. Jefferson St., one block south of Route 64 (Washington Street), Oregon.

Watch for directional signage.

Better Business Bureau issues utilities scam warning CHICAGO — On the heels of the bitter cold temperatures that have hit Chicago and Northern Illinois, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is issuing a warning on scam artists that are targeting individual consumers and businesses with the false claim that their utility bills are delinquent and their service is in danger of being disconnected.

The BBB has received calls from concerned consumers and businesses who state they have received calls from individuals claiming to be from either ComEd or Nicor making demands that they immediately make payment on their alleged delinquent accounts.

Whether the payment demand is purportedly for ComEd or Nicor, the callers ask that the consumers

purchase a gift card or a Green Dot card and then call back with the card information to make a payment.

“If a consumer receives one of these calls they should never provide any personal or financial information to the caller” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “Instead they should contact their utility company’s customer service department and verify that a call was made.”

Additionally, if you suspect that the call is fraudulent or you may be a victim of a scam you should contact your local police department.

For more information on scams, visit www.bbb. org/.

Entertainment

‘A Big Fat Crisis’ You feel as though you might have to quit your job.

Yeah, you’re that desperate to get away from the treats that somebody’s been leaving in the break room.

Terri Nice gesture, Schlichenmeyer but you’re totally incapable of resisting them and each bite ruins your diet.

It’s a point of shame that you have no willpower, but there may be more to your weight problem than lack of the word “no.” Find out by reading the new book “A Big Fat Crisis” by Deborah A. Cohen, MD, and cut yourself some slack.

It seems as though you can’t escape it: everywhere you look, you’re reminded to eat healthier, get active and lose weight. But you also can’t escape the things that taste good but are bad for you, and sticking to Dietary Guidelines “is neither easy nor fun.” In fact, most of us don’t eat right and just 5 percent of us get the recommended amount of exercise.

But to say that we’re weak-willed is misleading, says Cohen. Most overweight people “appear to have plenty of self-control in most other areas of their lives.” They get to work on time, volunteer, pay bills, drive safely and raise families. So why can’t they control what they eat?

The reason, Cohen

says, is twofold: we’re hard-wired to eat, and we’re exploited by our “food environment.”

The good news is that the latter — “point of purchase and point of consumption” — are changeable. First, though, we must understand “that an individual’s ability to resist overeating is limited when excess food is constantly available.” In other words, for myriad reasons, the more we try to control our appetites, the less we can avoid that extra donut or large O-rings.

The fixes are many: pay attention to what you eat; just seven extra calories a day will result in surprisingly big weight gain. Familiarize yourself with caloric content. Become aware of how marketing promotes overeating. And support government regulations on grocery stores and restaurants; after all, laws keep us safe from cholera and typhoid. They should be able to keep us safe from obesity, too.

So you say you need to lose 10 pounds — but they’re kicking your (well-padded) butt? It might not be your fault, and “A Big Fat Crisis” tells you why but not without an extra helping of controversy.

On one side of the table, this book should be a big comfort to anyone who’s shamed by weight and temptation. Author Deborah A. Cohen, MD, takes the onus off dieters by

Wyanet library will host program Thursday

explaining that it may be genuinely true that they can’t help themselves. Cohen doesn’t let them totally off the hook, though; she still scolds, but not terribly harshly.

The controversy, however, lies in Cohen’s strongly-opinionated solutions. Specifically, restaurant owners, grocers, vendors and retailers won’t like ‘em. Not one crumb.

Obviously, this isn’t your usual diet-andexercise book. There are conversation-starters on every page here, and lots

to think about. But if you’re concerned about obesity, eating right, and your family’s weight, “A Big Fat Crisis” might give you the skinny.

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