BLOOD DONATION OPPORTUNITY

BY JERRY LINDSEY Shaw Media The 1970 graduating class of Erie High School entered a world of bell bottoms, women’s rights movements, the Viet Nam involvement and the breaking up of the Beatles, so when graduate Janette Bush was offered a job at Resthave Nursing home in Morrison, she was thrilled.

The excitement of her employment carried her to a career hire that ended 50 years later.

Being an only child, Janette was familiar with how to perform various maintenance and cleaning jobs around the home and this variety of experience became very useful throughout her employment.

Regardless of her task, she always owned a smile and a friendly gesture to whoever she encountered. It excited her when the residents asked her to join them in prayer because her main reward for working at Resthave was “Doing something for someone else.” “That always made my day!” she added.

When asked what she would miss the most, she remarked, “Not being around the residents and doing something for them.” Continuing she added, “We reap what we sow

The halls of Resthave Care and Rehabilitation will miss the smile and pleasant air that followed her daily journey of giving.

Janette paused when asked if any one thing stood as a highlight of her five decades of service and then she answered,“Yes, those I got to share the Lord with”.

COMMUNITY

Fulton, Morrison community foundation grants Grants made possible through partnership with Illinois COVID19 Response Fund The Fulton Association for Community Enrichment (FACE) and Morrison Area Community Foundation (MACF), both Geographic Affiliates of the Quad Cities Community Foundation, have awarded $105,000 in grants to support Whiteside County nonprofits in their response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The grants are made possible by the Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund, and were proactively awarded in collaboration with the Quad Cities Community Foundation.

“What a lifeline these grants

are providing to Whiteside County,” said Connie Koehn, advisory board member of FACE. “We are immensely grateful to the funders who gave to support those who have borne the brunt of this pandemic. These grants will provide an immediate infusion of resources to provide access to food, emergency supplies, mental health care, and housing assistance to those most in need right now.”

Joseph Mills, advisory board member of MACF, added that “this money will go a long way in supporting Whiteside County residents right now. This large grant allows us to provide greater assistance in a very short period of time.”

The Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund was established by the United Way of Illinois and the Alliance of Illinois Community Foundations in collaboration with the Office of Governor J.B. Pritzker to help non-

The new rate of 5.799 cents per kWh begins with the August 2020 meter-read date. It will remain in place for 36 months.

City of Morrison residents now pay 6.99 kWh through supplier MC Squared. ComEd’s current rate is 6.47 cents per kWh.

Eligible Whiteside County customers will receive the traditional energy supply at this rate automatically, unless they decide to opt-out

by Tuesday, June 30. Call AEP Energy Customer Care at 877-726-0214, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon.

To compare prices and products, request (at no charge) from the Illinois Power Agency a list of all available supply options. You can choose to enroll in the 100% Renewable Energy option. The secure price is 5.895 cents per kWh for 36 months.

profits serving individuals, families and communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. The coalition has distributed dollars from that fund to organizations like the Quad Cities Community Foundation to proactively make grants to organizations.

“We are reminded of the power of collaboration as we collectively make these grants with Fulton and Morrison leaders,” said Kelly Thompson, vice president of grantmaking and community initiatives at the Quad Cities Community Foundation. “These community funds play a critical role in local towns and counties in our region.

We are proud of their efforts, grateful for their knowledge, and glad we can swiftly get these dollars into the hands of nonprofits who are responding to critical needs due to COVID-19.”

In Whiteside County, five orga-

nizations have received a total of $105,000 in support: River Bend Foodbank, for local food pantries—$15,000 Sinnissippi Centers, for mental health services—$30,000 Tri-County Opportunities Council, for emergency assistance—$20,000 United Way of Whiteside County, for county-wide grocery program—$25,000 YWCA of Whiteside County, for direct support of immigrant families—$15,000 The Quad Cities Community Foundation is home to six Geographic Affiliates outside the immediate service area of Rock Island and Scott Counties. Because of the partnership with FACE and MACF, the Quad Cities Community Foundation was able to leverage its expertise and experience to grant additional dollars to these counties.

BUSINESS

Small business disaster loans available The SBA is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses and non-profit organizations that are suffering substantial economic injury as a result of COVID-19.

These loans may be used to pay debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact, and that are not already covered by a Paycheck Protection Program loan. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses and 2.75% for non-profits. The first payment is deferred for one year.

In addition, small businesses and non-profits may request, as part of their loan application, an EIDL Advance of up to $10,000. The EIDL Advance is designed to provide emergency economic relief to businesses that are currently experiencing a temporary loss of revenue.

This advance will not have to be repaid, and small businesses may receive an advance even if they are not approved for a loan.

EIDL applications that have already been submitted continue to be processed.

their own color” we will continue to bear the burdens of racism.

Until legislators, local, state and federal, admit laws have been passed giving advantages to one race over others, we will continue to bear the burden of racism.

Until national media acknowledge there were only white commentators on the air until very recently, we will continue to bear the burdens of racism. None of us are “innocent bystanders”.

Yes, there is racial injustice in our society.

It IS NOT LIMITED to the police or any other single area of our daily life. It is part and parcel of our daily life, so much so, it is difficult for us to really fathom its effects. That video is a reflection of each time we forward a racist post from YouTube or Facebook.

That video is a reflection of each time we say nothing when we hear a ‘racist’ joke or remark. That video is a reflection of attitudes we have allowed to go unchallenged.

The George Floyd video opened eyes, but each of us needs to take a serious look at ourselves.

Our attitudes and our positions of privilege before we condemn the police for what we see. Until each of us has the moral courage to face honestly what we have gained from the past, we will continue to bear the burdens of racism.

Retired Rev. Dr. James Camp Morrison

LOCAL NEWS | Shaw Media Illinois / ShawMediaIllinois.com •

To the Editor, The George Floyd incident made us witness injustice in one of its most blatant forms. This incident focused our attention on the area of police racism. While that issue is real and needs to be addressed it is a fraction of the problem. We, individually and corporately, need to widen our focus.

Racism is no more, and no less, present in the police of our country than it is in our whole society. The action of police officers are more visible and we react to them more than the “everyday” action of racism. The actions of the police reflect the racism which has been and continues to be, an underlying current in our society. The actions of the police accurately reflect who we are as a society, both good and bad and we need to admit that.

Until people of my color understand and admit how much we benefit from the racist atmosphere of our country, we will continue to bear the burdens of racism. Until banks and lending institutions admit “redlining” prevented people of color from living in certain areas, we will continue to bear the burdens of racism.

Until colleges and universities admit there have been unwritten policies which effectively segregated their classrooms, we will continue to bear the burden of racism. Until denominations admit there has been an attitude of “they would rather be with people of

Resthave Care & Rehabilitation’s board member, Michelle Workman, heard that College Street Creations in Mt. Carroll made room number signs to put in residents’ windows. The signs will then allow outside window visitors to know which room their loved one is in so they can visit during COVID-19 restrictions. Michelle donated the signs and the items to decorate the signs for every resident’s room in Resthave. Staff made this into a fun craft project for Residents. Judy Adloph displays the room numbers that will be placed in windows of residents during the restricted visitations caused by COVID-19.

You don’t have to be a gardening expert to become a Master Gardener.

All you need is an interest in gardening, some time to volunteer in the community, and a desire to share your knowledge with others. The program is more about connections... connecting people with other gardeners, with their community, and with reliable resources for information. Once connections are

forged, it’s time to get sowing and growing in our many meaningful community projects.

We all know no one ever really “masters” gardening. Together we are constantly learning. That’s what makes it fun. The Master Gardener program emphasizes practical gardening experience teamed with research-based information from University of Illinois Extension. We help people put knowledge to work as we share information about sustainable garden and landscape management practices, aesthetically pleasing and recuperative environments, and healthy food production.

For the full Master Gardener experience, we recommend face-to-face training at your local University of Illinois Extension office. Whiteside county extension is offering face to face training to start August 25 through November 3.

SENIOR HEALTH

Losing weight after 60: Outsmart the aging process

By LAURA SLAUSON Great Senior Living We’ll start with the good news: Losing weight after 60 is definitely a realistic goal. And maintaining a healthy weight can help you live an active and engaged life as a senior.

However, many older people have to adjust their prior weight-loss strategies in order to safely lose extra

Strength training is the most effective way to rev up your metabolism.

pounds. That’s because what works for younger people when it comes to weight loss doesn’t necessarily work for seniors. But that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve your healthiest weight. You can lose weight as you get older by recognizing how your body changes with age and creating a safe, effective weight-loss plan.

For many seniors, that process starts with determining their ideal weight. And because body composition changes with age, you may find that your goal weight and health priorities shift as you grow older.

That’s just one reason why it’s important to work closely with your healthcare team if you think that you need to lose weight.

The good news is that you can speed up your metabolism after 50 by making some simple lifestyle changes. And these habits will have other positive impacts on your health. Check out these tips to see how you can “trick” your body into having a faster metabolism: 1. Take up strength training.

Maintaining muscle tone is one of the most important things we can do to in order to burn more calories.

For elderly people, starting or maintaining a strength-training program

can help increase their basal metabolic rate.

As an added bonus, strength training is also good for losing the belly.

Research in the Journal of Obesity confirmed that weight loss for seniors has the greatest positive impacts on health if it comes from the abdominal region. And the fat loss from strength training (even if the exercises aren’t specifically focused on your abs) is often from this area. Plus, strength training doesn’t have to be intimidating or time-consuming. If you’re not currently lifting weights (or doing other strength-building exercises such as yoga), talk to your doctor about creating a plan that works for you. The National Institute on Aging produces an excellent guide showing some simple exercises for seniors that can act as a good starting point.

Remember: You’re never too old to improve your muscle tone. You can definitely build muscle after 60 by doing strength-training exercises. In fact, it’s possible to strengthen your muscles well into your 90s.

2. Add more movement to your everyday life.

You can also enjoy the benefits of physical activity without heading to the gym. As we get older, we tend to be more sedentary throughout the day. In fact, research in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism has confirmed that older people move less, on average, just doing the tasks of everyday life. That’s unfortunate, because even light amounts of activity can help your metabolism (and your cardiovascular health).

However, in today’s automated world, we have fewer opportunities for this kind of movement. So look for every chance you can to get some extra light movement. For example, gardening, doing the dishes by hand, and putting away all of the laundry are the kinds of tasks that keep your body moving.

As well, walking is frequently considered the best exercise for seniors to lose weight with. And you don’t have to get the often-cited 10,000 steps a day in order to benefit. Just small increases in the number of steps you take can help.

3. Eat plenty of protein.

Protein can help build muscle. It also requires more energy to digest.

That means you can boost your metabolism after 60 by eating lean protein with every meal in order to prevent muscle loss.

In addition, research in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A shows that seniors who eat a lot of protein are less likely to lose the ability to do everyday functional activities

such as dressing and walking up stairs.

But keep in mind that the best protein for seniors is not necessarily a store-bought protein shake.

Although these handy shakes can help out when you’re busy or not feeling hungry, they are often high in sugar and unnecessary additives.

And it’s always better to consume whole foods whenever possible because they offer other essential elements of a healthy diet, such as fiber.

4. Consume enough calories.

This may seem like an odd tip.

After all, many fad diets require dieters to drastically cut the calories they consume. And you’ve probably heard that the secret to losing weight is eating fewer calories.

However, that low-calorie strategy can backfire, particularly for seniors. When our bodies sense that they aren’t getting enough energy to meet our basic needs, our metabolism can go into “starvation mode” in order to conserve energy.

As well, you can lose weight too quickly if you don’t get enough calories, which can lead to muscle loss.

And you need to maintain muscle for a healthy metabolism.

Unfortunately, many elderly people find it difficult to eat enough food. For seniors, several factors can contribute to reduced appetites, including changes to their sense of smell or taste.

If you struggle to eat regular, balanced meals because you don’t have much of an appetite, talk with your doctor. At first, a reduced appetite might seem like a bonus for weight loss. For seniors, however, it can signal health issues that should be checked out.

5. Get enough sleep.

Seniors often struggle to get enough sleep. But missing out on sleep is another habit that can harm your metabolism. And research in the International Journal of Obesity has linked sleep deprivation with a greater likelihood of obesity for older adults.

6. Reduce your stress levels.

When you’re under chronic pressure, your body can interpret your stressed-out state as a sign to conserve energy. And the “flight or fight” response created by stress hormones like cortisol can trigger glucose production because our bodies think we might need the energy.

The results can impact your metabolism, in addition to triggering cravings for sweets. Although more research is needed, some studies suggest that relaxation activities such as meditation can help metabolism.

SENIOR ACTIVITIES

By LUKE REDD Great Senior Living

Bike riding is a great pastime for seniors who want to feel like a kid again.

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

Whatever your age, interests, or abilities, you can enjoy pastimes that make you laugh, lose track of time, or feel like a goofy kid at heart.

And plenty of activities cost little or no money. Some of the best types of diversions for older adults or elderly people include: active games and sports, dancing, karaoke, and other performance arts, parties and other social gatherings, traditional games and puzzles, animal interactions, gardening, bird-watching, and other outdoor pastimes, arts and crafts, active learning, and outings and excursions.

According to one study, four of the top five activities most commonly cited by seniors as being their favorites are, by their nature, very active.

They include walking and jogging, gardening and yard work, playing sports, and other physical pursuits.

As long as the weather is decent, being outside can do wonders for your mood. After all, the natural world is full of pleasurable sights, sounds, smells, and other sensory delights. They let you feel like an explorer or like you’re connected to something larger than yourself.

Why play is important to senior citizens Scientific studies continue to show that enjoyable activities can have several major benefits. For example, they have the power to help: Improve how your brain works.

Do you want to maintain your memory and optimize your ability to learn new things? Engaging in play on a regular basis can enhance your creativity and mental sharpness.

Heal, establish, or maintain relationships. A lot of seniors are lonely. In fact, on average, seniors without spouses or partners spend about 10 hours alone each day.

But having fun can enable older adults to make new friends or improve existing relationships.

Things like laughter and friendly competition are known to increase harmony, trust, empathy, and intimacy among people who experience them together.

Improve your mental and emotional well-being. Do you like the way you feel when you have a brighter outlook on life and your sense of time recedes into the background? Engaging in activities you enjoy can expand your optimism, multiply your moments of joy, and reduce your stress. It can even help prevent depression.

Extend your life and improve your physical vitality. Who doesn’t want to feel younger or more energetic?

Creating plenty of fun moments in your life can be a good way to boost your immune system, reduce your risk of illness, and minimize your perception of any pain you might already have.

Play should be a major part of life for everyone. We can all probably use many more joyful experiences.

It’s who we are, no matter our age.

Peoria has hosted the boys’ tournaments since 1995; girls’ tourneys stay in Normal JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Lincoln-Way West’s Jon Marotta takes a shot against Peoria Manual on March 18, 2016, during the IHSA Class 3A state semifinals in Peoria. The Warriors defeated the Rams, 45-41.

“There’s no sense of Peoria doing anything wrong. They took our tournament and took it to a higher level.”

Peoria won the bid in spring 1995 with an enthusiastic push to make the tournaments the best it could. The Champaign area drew considerable criticism for a lack of hospitality, particularly with hotels raising prices for rooms to what many fans felt were unreasonable levels.

The Champaign group has 13 hotels that have locked in their room rates for the next three state tournament weekends. Next year will be the first that the IHSA has all four classes play their championship games Saturday. The tournaments will run Thursday through Saturday for both boys and girls.

“When we left 25 years ago, there were concerns about the hotel pricing,” Anderson said. “They have provided evidence that that will not be the case and locked in a significant number of hotels at three-year pricing we think is reasonable “Their bid was powerful. Their team was

GIRLS WRESTLING

IHSA announces girls wrestling state tourney

For the first time, the IHSA will host a girls wrestling state tournament, beginning with the 2021-22 season.

The IHSA announced the decision after its virtual board meeting Monday. The dates, location and structure of the event are to be determined.

“I commend the Board on their vision to further the IHSA mission by continuing to seek out more participation opportunities for high school students in Illinois,” IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said in a statement. “Participation in high school girls wrestling has grown significantly over the past few years, and we expect this announce-

ment will only help increase that momentum here in Illinois. Our staff will use the lead time in the 2020-21 school year to best decide how the IHSA Girls Wrestling State Series fits within the current wrestling state series structure, including the dates and locations of each level of the tournament.”

The announcement marks a victory in thelong journey for the state’s female wrestlers. The Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association introduced its own girls wrestling state tournament in 2017. This year’s event would have been the fourth annual event, but it was canceled because of the coronavirus pan-

demic.

Traditionally, girls have had to wrestle against boys for most, if not all, of the season. Some coaches and advocates have argued that more girls would take up wrestling if they wrestled against girls more often.

The IHSA wrestling advisory committee, made up of coaches and administrators from across the state, in March recommended it was time to implement a girls state tournament.

According to the minutes from the March meeting, 837 girls across the state competed in wrestling during the 2019-20 season. That was about double the 424 girls who participated

only two years earlier.

“The committee feels that it’s time for the IHSA to organize a state series tournament for girls,” the wrestling committee minutes read. “The committee feels that if this happens, the number of girls participants will significantly increase since they will be able to compete against other girls and will have the opportunity to participate in their own state series tournament.”

The committee recommended the girls state finals take place the same weekend and same location as the boys; however, the IHSA has yet to make a decision on the date or location.

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

The IHSA looked at the University of Illinois’ renovated State Farm Center as the ideal place for its boys basketball state tournament and its new format next season.

After 25 years of playing at the Peoria Civic Center’s Carver Arena, the IHSA announced Monday that the boys state tournaments will return to Champaign. The $170 million in renovations completed in 2016, along with a renewed vigor from the Champaign-Urbana group, proved vital in prying the tournaments away from Peoria.

The boys state tournaments were played in Champaign from 1919 through 1995.

The IHSA also announced that the girls basketball state tournaments will remain in Normal at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena, which has been the host site since 1992. Champaign, which hosted the girls state tournaments from 1978 through 1991, also made a bid for the girls tournaments.

IHSA executive director Craig Anderson said the decision to leave Peoria was difficult, but the board’s vote for Champaign was a consensus. The state tournament contracts for both Champaign (boys) and Normal (girls) will run for the next three years.

“If you haven’t visited, the (State Farm Center) venue is absolutely top-notch,” Anderson said.

“The investment the university made in the facility is really a crowning jewel for this state. We’re so appreciative for the opportunity to bring the boys basketball tournament to Champaign-Urbana and look forward to the partnerships growing.

impressive. They went above and beyond doing all the things we would expect. They put forth a very good bid. Champaign rose to the top.”

Champaign also hosts the boys wrestling individual state tournament and the football state championships in alternating years.

“The people are different from that time (1995), and the community is different,” said Jayne DeLuce, president and CEO of Visit Champaign County. “There is much synergy between the community and the campus. When it was here before, I think there was a little bit of complacency where we never thought that the tournament would leave. The hospitality industry is well on-board with us. We’ve worked closely with the hotels, the restaurants, the retails and everybody else who will welcome everyone with open arms.”

DeLuce said that through an impact-calculating program they anticipate a $4 million effect on the Champaign-Urbana community.

There have been six host sites for the boys tournaments, which started in 1908 at the Oak Park YMCA. Bloomington, Decatur, Peoria, Springfield and Champaign have been the other hosts.

There have been only two host sites for the girls tournaments, Normal and Champaign. The first girls tournament was played in 1977 at ISU’s Horton Fieldhouse. They were moved to Champaign for the next 14 state tournaments and were played in Illinois’ Assembly Hall before moving to Redbird Arena.

“Our girls tournament found continued success, the venue is rich in history for the girls,” Anderson said. “They found their niche in Redbird Arena.”

ISU athletic director Larry Lyons said his school is thrilled to remain the home to the girls tournaments.

“Illinois State University and Illinois State athletics have long valued their great partnership with the IHSA, and we take great pride in hosting these championships,” Lyons said. “It’s an honor for us to provide them with a first-class championship experience at Redbird Arena.”

CENSUS BRIEF The U.S. Census Bureau continues to monitor the impacts COVID-19 has on 2020 Census operations and follow guidance of federal, state and local health authorities to ensure the safety our staff and the public.

The Census Bureau is ready to announce resumption of other operations in addition to the Update Leave operation and fingerprinting of new hires, which are already underway, in order to conduct a complete and accurate 2020 Census.

As of June 12, over 90 million households have

responded to the 2020 Census, with over four in five households doing so online. People can still respond on their own online, over the phone or by mail — all without having to meet a census taker.

The Census Bureau will begin a soft launch to Nonresponse Followup. The Census Bureau routinely “soft launches” operations to ensure systems, operations and field plans work as they should. Starting in mid-July, six area census offices (ACOs) (one per census region) will begin the operation of interviewing households

that have yet to respond to the 2020 Census. The six ACOs will be announced by the end of June. Additional ACOs will be announced for a second wave soft launch to occur later in July. Aside from ACOs that are part of the soft launch, all remaining ACOs will begin the Nonresponse Followup on Aug. 11 and conclude no later than Oct. 31.

All census takers will be trained on social distancing protocols. They will be issued PPE and will follow local guidelines for their use.

State school board issues guidelines

BY SEAN HAMMOND Shaw Media Illinois

Ayala said six-foot social distancing recommendations are “encouraged as much as possible,” but acknowledged that it might not be possible in all situations. At all times, face masks “have to be in place,” Ayala said.

As for transportation, Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan allows for gatherings of up to 50 individuals. Ayala said Phase 4 – which all regions of the state are on track to reach on June 26 – makes it possible for buses to carry up to 50 people, but planning and care should be taken to ensure students are wearing masks, distancing “as much as possible,” and that windows are open for air flow.

With the school year less than two months away, Ayala said that she recognizes school districts need guidance as soon as possible.

Ayala said mandates from the Illinois Department of Public Health must be followed. Further guidance, beyond public health measures, from ISBE will be flexible based on each community’s needs.

“The plan definitely has some areas, particularly public health,

that have to be in place,” Ayala said. “We’re not in a position to make public health decisions. …

Working with our stakeholders, it was loud and clear we needed to be able to provide the flexibility for the districts because Community A in southern Illinois is not the same as Community B in suburban Illinois or in urban Illinois. And so, as much as we have tried to provide common things, it still will remain the districts’ ability, given their community context, to make the best reopening plan to meet the needs of the community and children that they serve.”

ISBE will host webinars for districts and will open up dialogue to suggestions. ISBE had a task force of 56 teachers, administrators and superintendents from across the state working on the forthcoming guidance.

Matias, the Chief Education Officer, said districts should continue planning for the fall and reviewing existing remote learning plans.

Matias said such plans should maximize in-person learning, especially for higher needs students.

The Illinois State Board of Education’s forthcoming guidance regarding school this fall “strongly encourages full in-person instruction,” ISBE Chief Education Officer Dr. Ernesto Matias said during ISBE’s board meeting last week.

State Superintendent Dr. Carmen Ayala said face masks or face shields “are required at all times with students and staff.”

State educators are still awaiting guidance regarding what a return to school might look like during the coronavirus pandemic.

Further guidance is expected by the end of the month from ISBE with coordination from the governor’s office. However, some of the forthcoming guidelines were discussed at Wednesday’s meeting, which took place virtually.

While in-person class is encouraged, Matias said, “We know that might not be possible for all schools, depending on their unique student enrollment, school facilities, staffing, transportation and technological capacity.”

Board member Dr. David Lett, a longtime superintendent at Pana Community Unit School District in downstate Illinois, questioned how schools could enforce a rule on face masks.

“You’re going to have, flat out, students that are going to say: ‘I’m not wearing one,’” Lett said. “So is that going to turn into a disciplinary issue for school districts to have to deal with? Because you are going to have students who are going to say that.”

Lett went on to say that it can be difficult to communicate through a face mask.

“Point well taken, Dr. Lett,” Ayala said. “It’s something we continue to have conversations about.”

In addition to face masks, Lett asked for further information about social distancing and transportation.

Examining the use of sunscreen and vitamin D

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Sunscreen has received lots of press over the years as something touted to protect against skin cancer. It turns out that sunscreen may have its own toxicity up to 75% of the time.

When many sunscreens are applied at the SPF of 30 or more, they block the absorption of Vitamin D to the substantial level. Min D is actually one of the most important hormones in our body for the immune system helping to actually fight several cancers and protect against the flu.

Also, take a look at the ingredients on your sunscreen. If you can’t pronounce the usually long list of chemicals on the label, consider that your body will also not absorb it in healthy ways.

FarmWeekNow.com The Farm Progress Show, the largest outdoor farm event in the country, is still set for Sept. 1-3 in Boone, Iowa, according to the show’s manager.

The announcement comes just days after both the Illinois and Iowa state fairs were canceled.

“Barring any crazy type of spikes (in COVID-19) or the curve goes wrong on us in a major way, we are charging forward with Farm Progress Show,” Farm Progress Show Manager Matt Jungmann said Monday during a visit with RFD Radio.

“We’ve implemented some changes to our operation and made some requests to the exhibitors to change their operations somewhat so we can follow social distancing guidelines,” he said. “We’ve created one-way traffic through the show site and enlarged a lot of the areas where people typically gather.”

Exhibitors are also making adjustments in preparation for the September event.

“They’re changing their staffing levels and their stretching their exhibits out so they’re still getting the same thing done, but creating more space” Jungmann said.

The state made the announcement last week in a news release, noting the decision “has prompted the Department of Agriculture to offer a safe, creative way to ensure youth exhibitors still get a chance to show-

case their hard work.”

That will come in the form of a Junior Livestock Expo in Springfield in September. Illinois exhibitors ages 8-21 can show their animals at that event. The 4-H General Project Show will take place virtually, with premiums and ribbons distributed by the ag department, according to the news release.

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Monday extended until June 28 a waiver allowing 12% overweight for transportation of COVID-19 response and relief supplies on state routes, said Kirby Wagner, Illinois Farm Bureau assistant director of transportation and infrastructure. Originally, the waiver expired May 29.

Wagner explained the waiver includes individuals hauling agricultural loads eventually destined to produce food for people, feed for animals, fuel, fertilizer, or medical supplies and sanitizers. Wagner emphasized the waiver does not apply to all transportation of agricultural products, but only items that are a precursor to manufacturing of an essential product.

Overweight and over-dimension loads cannot exceed 14 feet in width and 100 feet in length. There is no

charge for the waiver.

“Illinois Farm Bureau worked with IDOT and the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) on this extension,” Wagner said. “COVID-19 is still presenting challenges to the transportation of agricultural products, especially livestock. We are extremely thankful to IDOT and IDOA for their work on this extension.”

The following stipulations apply: The operator must carry a copy of the IDOT waiver (found on IDOT permitting website), the presidential declaration and bill of lading. Both the equipment owner and operator agree to abide by the conditions in IDOT’s authorization and all other nonexempted requirements for oversize and overweight loads. All road and bridge postings must be followed. Haulers may carry up to 90,000 pounds on five axles or an additional 12% above legal loads on fewer axles and mustreview obstructions and restrictions onlineand obey all restrictions.
