Back to School: 2013-14 By August, summertime will be winding down, and vacations will be coming to an end, signaling that backto-school time is near. It’s a time that many children eagerly anticipate — catching up with old friends and making new ones, and settling into a new daily routine. Parents and children alike scan the newspapers and websites looking for sales to shop for a multitude of school supplies and the latest clothing fads and essentials. Here are some of the many statistics associated with the return to classrooms by our nation’s students and teachers as provided by the Census Bureau. • $8.5 billion: The amount of money spent at family clothing stores in August 2012. Sales at bookstores in August 2012 totaled $2 billion. • For back-to-school shopping, choices of retail establishments abound: In 2011, there were 28,128 family clothing stores, 7,093 children and infants clothing stores, 25,448 shoe stores, 8,144 office supply and stationery stores, 21,227 sporting goods stores, 8,407 bookstores and 8,625 department stores. • 79 million: The number of children and adults enrolled in school throughout the country in October 2011 — from nursery school to college. They comprised 26.9 percent of the entire population age 3 and older. • 77 percent: Percentage of children 3 to 6 enrolled in kindergarten who attended all day, as of October 2011. • 73 percent: Percentage of children 3 to 6 years old who are enrolled in school. • 25 percent: Percentage of elementary through high school students who had at least one foreign-born parent in October 2011. • 11.8 million: Number of school-age children (5 to 17) who spoke a language other than English at home in 2011; 8.5 million of these children spoke Spanish at home.

• 15 percent: Percentage of all college students 35 and older in October 2011. They made up 32 percent of those attending school part time. • 42 percent: Percentage of 18- to 24 year olds enrolled in college in 2011. • 52: Percentage of students enrolled in college, who worked less than full time, year-round in 2011; 20 percent worked full time, year-round. • 3,068,911: Number of enrolled high school students who work less than full time, year-round; 145,740 students in high school worked full time, year-round. • 12.0 million: Number of people age 25 and over who held a bachelor’s degree in business in 2011. Business degrees were reported by 20 percent of the population with a bachelor’s degree followed by education (14 percent), science and engineering related fields (9 percent), social sciences and engineering, which were not statistically different from each other (8 percent); biological, agricultural and environmental sciences (6 percent), and other and liberal arts and history, which were not statistically different from each other (5 percent); psychology (5 percent); literature and languages (4 percent); computers, mathematics and statistics (4 percent); visual and performing arts (4 percent); communications (4 percent); and physical and related sciences (3 percent). • $81,761: Average earnings of full-time, year-round workers 18 and older with an advanced degree (bachelor’s degree or higher) in 2011. Workers whose highest degree was a bachelor’s had mean earnings of $70,459. Mean earnings for full-time, year-round workers with a high school diploma (includes GED certificate) was $40,634, while workers with less than a ninth grade education had $26,545 average earnings.

BBB survey says consumers first complain to businesses CHICAGO — A majority of consumers who are displeased with a product or service prefer to complain directly to a business or manufacturer before taking any other actions, according to a recent Better Business Bureau poll. The poll also shows that few consumers go online to state their dissatisfaction. The largest single response (43 percent) of unhappy consumers in the poll was to verbally complain to the business. Others would simply never return to the business again

(32 percent), email the business or manufacturer (11 percent) or verbally tell others not to use the business or product (9 percent). The poll was taken by 740 BBB website visitors. It was run from mid-June until mid-July. BBB advises consumers to write to businesses when they have complaints. By writing complaints, a consumer is able to explain the situation and give the business a thorough understanding of their expectations.

For businesses, complaints should be viewed as opportunities to change and improve and should take negative experiences as an incentive to explore their practices. The data emphasizes the need for businesses to make consumer interaction a positive experience. It also shows that consumers would help businesses by giving honest feedback about products and services. For more consumer tips you can trust, visit www.bbb.org.

Illinois tourism numbers break record CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has announced that Illinois hosted more than 99 million domestic visitors in 2012, a 6.1 percent increase over the record 93.3 million U.S. residents who visited Illinois in 2011. This surge in tourism generated more than $31 billion for the state’s economy in 2012, and the numbers will be even higher when international visitor numbers are available later this summer. This marks the second year in a row that Illinois’ visitor numbers broke records and outpaced the national average of 5.4 percent, highlighting the industry’s vital contributions to Illinois’ economic growth, job creation and tax revenue. Bolstered by a surge in leisure travel, the Illinois tourism industry generated nearly $31 billion in 2012 from domestic visitors alone, up 5 percent from last year’s record-breaking domestic travel expenditures of $29.5 billion. Preliminary data indicate that international visitor numbers are also on the rise. International numbers will be released later this summer.

“The tourism industry plays a vital role in growing Illinois’ economy, providing valuable jobs for residents and spurring business of all sizes,” Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) Director Adam Pollet said. State and local tax revenues from tourism totaled more than $2.3 billion in 2012, an increase of more than $124 million. State tax revenue rose 5.3 percent to $1.6 billion, while local tax revenue rose 6.6 percent to more than $699 million. Initial estimates indicate the Illinois travel industry workforce grew by 1.9 percent in 2012. Final figures will be released later this summer. “We are always looking for innovative ways to share Illinois’ unique stories with the world and to encourage visitors to discover all that the state offers,” Illinois Office of Tourism Deputy Director Jen Hoelzle said. “Our efforts drive visitors to the people, places and experiences that make a trip to Illinois memorable.”

Zephyr Route announces upcoming rail tours

Truck, tractor pull set for Aug. 24

PRINCETON — The most unique attraction at the 158th Bureau County Fair in Princeton is the demolition derby, set for 3 p.m. Aug. 25. Demolition derbies always attract more people than any other event at the county fair because its fun for both drivers and spectators. “This is an opportunity to break every traffic law there is and maybe get paid for it.” The object is simple. Two rows of cars line up, rear bumper to rear bumper. When the flag drops, they race toward each other and meet in a huge traffic accident. Drivers try to knock out all the other cars before they can knock him or her out. The spectators watching get as much of a kick out of the carnage as the drivers, picking their favorites and cheering them on. The derby is produced by the fair and complete

Echo Bluff Park — close to the city ... far from the ordinary

There’s a new carver in town PRINCETON — This year’s Bureau County Fair in Princeton will feature a new carver, Luree Magee from Progressive Edges. Timber Falls Tree Service will presents this carving specialist four times daily, as part of the free entertainment at the fair. Magee will start with a log and will complete a variety of figures, from woodland creatures, farm animals and gators to totem poles and benches in as little as an hour to three hours time. The sculptures range from 2 to 9 feet tall. Audiences

attending these shows will see work begin, forms beginning to emerge from the wood. Fair-goers can return as often as they like to monitor the progress on the carvings, and watch as new creations pile up. Finally, all the craftsmanship will be auctioned on Aug. 25, the last day of the fair, in front of her display at 2:30 p.m. The auction helps defray the cost of the fair. For complete information for this year’s fair, see the fair’s website at www.bureaucountyfair. com. The 158th Bureau County Fair runs Aug. 21-25 in Princeton.

SPRING VALLEY — As summer winds down, families are looking for “staycation” opportunities in the Illinois Valley and Echo Bluff Park (located off of Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue) has plenty of events to fill this need. Zip lining is very popular in vacation resorts and Hall Township’s Echo Bluff Park has public and private events where you can experience the thrill of the ride. Perhaps the ambiance is not that of the tropics, but the “rush” is every bit as exciting! On Aug. 21 you can take part in a Night Zip from 7 to 9 p.m. Impending darkness always adds to an event and participants ($15 each) will receive a glow necklace! To reserve a spot, call 815-447-2115. Though Zip Lining is a great event, those seeking more challenge will want to take advantage of the high ropes course at Echo Bluff. Elevated 35 feet above ground, the ropes course is an excellent team building event for groups and organizations. When groups or individuals go up on a high ropes course there is a great opportunity for them to learn about risk taking, their own personal limits, how they perform under pressure, how they give and receive support from others and how working together can help an individual accomplish at 815-993-5007 or Bretta Klein at 815-878-8591.

Antique car cruise SPRING VALLEY — An antique car cruise to benefit the Spring Valley Historic Association will be Sept. 14 in downtown Spring Valley. The event is for vehicles 1988 and older. Registration will be from 10 a.m. to noon in the 100-200 blocks of West St. Paul Street. The show will be from noon to 5 p.m. There is no registration fee. The event will also include a 50/50, food and music by 3-D Sound.

more than they thought possible. High ropes events are prescheduled, though public events are held sporadically. As certified instructors are required for each high ropes and zipping event, it is best to check the website for upcoming events. Check out schedule on www.echobluff.org. Schools, clubs, businesses, civic organizations and families have found Echo Bluff’s Challenge Course an excellent means of increasing individual confidence and group unity. What was once a unique 200-by200-foot wooded paintball course has been doubled to the size of two football fields with the addition of a Speedball course at Echo Bluff Park. The field has a ravine within, making challenges a bit more interesting. Natural obstacles and manmade bunkers create the perfect backdrop for creative warfare. The third Sunday of each month (Aug. 18) is the Red/Yellow game at Echo Bluff Park. This event is an organized challenge. The cost is $30 for adults and $25 for those in eighth grade and under, with unlimited air and CO2 during competition. Each Friday during August is Free Field Fee Friday – meaning those with equipment will enjoy a free afternoon in the park! Rental is available for masks and guns, but the field fee is waived on Fridays. Enjoy Disc Golf at Echo Bluff.

Contact us: Echo Bluff Park is located off Route 29 between Spring Valley and DePue. For information concerning the park, contact Jan Martin, park manager at 815-447-2115 or 815-252-3894. The nine-hole wooded course offers a challenge to those who have taken up the sport. Seasoned and new golfers are encourage to play the course for free. Stop by the Snack Shack to pick up a map, scorecard and discs. Hiking and biking enthusiasts are invited to “ride” the 7,000 yards of trails at Echo Bluff Park. Though the weather has been temperate as of late, it is still too early to enjoy Echo Bluff’s premiere ice skating rink. This seasonal chilled outdoor rink has undergone some major renovation and will be up and ready when winter arrives. Plan now to enroll a child in hockey and ice skating camps. Terror on the Trails, Echo Bluff’s annual Halloween event, is scheduled for Oct. 25 and 26. It will feature a “Ghostly Paintball” challenge. For further information or questions concerning Echo Bluff Park, call Jan Martin, park manager, at 815 447-2115 or 815-252-3894.

Back to school

Great on-the-go snack ideas for kids (StatePoint) Snack time can make or break an otherwise healthy diet. So keeping tabs on what your kids are munching on between meals is important. The bottom line, say experts, is to aim to nurture their bodies with pure, wholesome foods as close to nature as possible. “Getting your kids hooked on fresh fruits and vegetables early will set them up for a lifetime of great eating habits,” says Mitzi Dulan, “America’s Nutrition Expert.” Dulan offers is offering these tips for parents to help kids get their snack on, healthfully: • Plan ahead: Set up a grocery shopping routine

that allows you to have fresh foods on hand for the entire week. On school nights, reserve 10 minutes with the kids to pack the next day’s snacks together. • Avoid high-calorie drinks: Wash snacks down with water or organic lowfat milk. Avoid giving your kids high-calorie and sugarfilled drinks such as sodas, juices and energy drinks. • Make it colorful: Skip highly processed snacks such as candy bars, chips, fruit snacks and storebought cookies. Instead, complement fresh fruits and vegetables with peanut butter, hummus or low-fat dressings. • Get them involved: Take your kids grocery shopping with you and

ask them to pick out their favorite fruits, vegetables and healthy snacks. Direct them toward options like whole wheat crackers, edamame (soybeans), trail mix with nuts and dried fruit, air-popped popcorn, Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce. Involving your kids with preparing and packing a daily lunch will encourage them to make their own decisions and they will be more likely to eat what they’ve packed instead of

Help students keep organized lockers (StatePoint) Parents can do everything in their power to provide children with the proper tools and supplies to stay organized this school year. But when their kids get to school, all preparations can easily get thrown out the window — or, into a messy locker. Notepads, pens, papers and other everyday items tend to get stuffed in the bottom of lockers without arrangement, leading to wrinkled assignments, smashed food and lost books. Use durable, long-lasting locker shelves to create additional space. These locker shelves hold up to 100 pounds, so books, binders and other supplies can quickly and easily be stacked or thrown into the locker. Keep personal items and academic supplies separate for quick and easy access to both. With an organizer, students can store a makeup bag or running shoes in the top compartment and textbooks, folders and binders in the bottom, creating an easily accessible space.

throwing it away. • Add a treat: Some treats are calorie free. Put in a little note to let them know how much you love them, to make Mondays or Wednesdays — or whatever day your child dreads — a bit more special. Snack time is crucial for keeping growing kids properly fueled for their busy days. Avoiding the sugar and fat overload at these in-between mini meals will help keep kids happier, healthier and wiser.

Following this very complicated surgery, along with a week at Perry Memorial Hospital to begin healing, Kay chose to come to Colonial Healthcare & Rehabilitation Centre for her continued rehabilitation and recovery. Here is what Kay had to say about her stay at Colonial: “Sometimes older is better because of seasoning and wisdom. My stay at Colonial was awesome! The staff was like one happy family welcoming you with pride to their home. My needs were anticipated and every need was met with generosity and a smile. My observation was everyone was treated the same. The food was excellent! The therapy was tremendous!
