Addy’s Acres is a labor of love for Hennepin family KIM SHUTE

kshute@shawmedia.com HENNEPIN — When Brian and Janee Leatherman were given the opportunity to utilize a small plot of land owned by family, they researched various food crops, eventually deciding on something they both loved, garlic.

The Leathermans both have fulltime jobs in addition to farming corn and soybeans, but decided to throw their efforts into a small garlic farm when a family member offered them use of a two-acre parcel.

“We decided on the name Addy’s Acres after our daughter and have plans to add different organic products in the future,” Janee said.

In the fall of 2020 the Leathermans planted .6 of an acre and currently have five varieties to offer. Though they are not organic certified, they practice organic growing methods and hope to become certified in the years to come.

“This is our first year and we planted five hardneck varieties, Chesnok Red, Persian Star, Georgian Fire, Tamarack and Great Northern White,” Janee said. “We planted that space with 200 pounds. Of those 200 pounds, there were about 18,000 cloves that were all planted by hand.

“We have family members who volunteer. My cousin, Michelle Bouxsein, is helping with all of the technology that goes along with this adventure.

“In July, we harvested 1,200 pounds by hand. I believe this is an average crop size and being our first year, we are ecstatic.

“We also are planning on adding two additional varieties for next year’s

In our area, you want to plant hardneck varieties 4-6 weeks before the ground freezes in October, then harvest in July.

MARSHALL-PUTNAM COUNTY

Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau promotes farm safety programs ahead of harvest season

Illinois Farm Bureau is again partnering with the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) to promote farm safety and health during National Farm Safety and Health Week, themed “Farm Safety Yields Real Results,” Sept.

19-25.

“We’re excited to help promote and support NECAS’s efforts in keeping farmers and farm families safe,” said Tiffany Moodie, manager of Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau.

“Harvest season can be particularly dangerous for farmers with long hours and stress of weather delays, equipment breakdowns or high operating costs, and this year’s activities will reinforce the importance of organizations like ours working together to ensure farmers

make it home safely to their families at night.”

Each day of the week has a designated topic of focus to promote various aspects of farm safety: • Monday, Sept. 20 – Tractor Safety & Rural Roadway Safety.

• Tuesday, Sept. 21 – Overall Farmer Health.

• Wednesday, Sept. 22 – Safety & Health for Youth in Agriculture.

• Thursday, Sept. 23 – Agricultural Fertilizer & Chemical Safety.

• Friday, Sept. 24 – Safety & Health for Women in Agriculture.

The 2019 data for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the agricultural sector is still the most dangerous in America with 573 fatalities, or an equivalent of 23.1 deaths per 100,000 workers. Fall harvest

time can be one of the busiest and most dangerous seasons of the year for the agriculture industry. For this reason, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week.

“Farmers are notorious for their work ethic and determination, both qualities that also can be a detriment when it comes to safety,” said Moodie. “While farm safety is top of mind every week for farmers, their families and their employees, National Farm Safety and Health Week is an opportunity to spotlight safety reminders that keep those both inside and outside the agriculture industry aware and mindful during the busy harvest season.”

For more information about

National Farm Safety and Health Week, contact your local county Farm Bureau, visit www.necasag. org, or contact Donna Gallivan at 309-557-2350 or dgallivan@ilfb.org.

• MURALS Continued from Page 2 currently accepting donations for the project through its website.

The proposed public art project is planned to showcase historically significant achievements of local women in LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties.

It will be a series of hand-painted murals featuring women from all professional and service fields who have contributed to the well-being of the area and beyond, according to Pasieka.

The murals will be hand-painted on aluminum panels and then attached to steel grids for permanent display in high-traffic areas.

The murals will also feature signage that holds descriptions of the women and their achievements as well as links to information on other public art installations along the Silo Pathways Countryside Public Art Tour.

Pasieka currently leads a committee hoping to create a series of murals in communities throughout LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. Committee members envision the series of murals as the most impactful way to realize the inspirational aspect of the public art installations.

“The object of the ‘Empowered Women’ project is to create public art that inspires local young people, women in particular,” Pasieka said. “My hope is that the art inspires them to follow

their dreams and to do things that are beneficial inside their communities and beyond, as did the women who will be depicted on the murals.”

Pasieka stated the project evolved from the time her daughter was discouraged from following her dream by an authority figure who said that a girl from a small community wouldn’t do anything of importance.

“The words stung,” Pasieka said.

“Instead of discouraging my daughter, they motivated her to research important contributions local women had made and to take inspiration from their work to achieve her own success.”

Pasieka’s daughter has since gone on to receive her doctorate and works as a senior research scientist. Pasieka hopes these murals can inspire similar individuals to accomplish great things.

Pasieka also noted that several

women currently considered for the mural in LaSalle include Mary Ellen Evers, Marion Dane Bauer and Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg. These women have been distinguished educators, writers and community leaders.

“Some of the names on the murals will be new to us and others will be familiar,” Pasieka said. “People who visit the murals will be inspired by them all.”

Medicare Part D Open Enrollment is October 15- December 7.

Every year, Medicare beneficiaries should review available plans to ensure they have the best plan that fits their needs and that they are not overpaying.

OGLESBY

OGLESBY — Newly appointed trustee Bill Hunt of Oglesby was welcomed by the Illinois Valley Community College board Thursday.

Hunt was appointed at a special meeting a week earlier to fill a nearly two-year vacancy created by the July 8 resignation of trustee David Mallery. Hunt is a former 12-year Mendota City Council member. His term runs through the April 2023 consolidated election.

In other business, trustees approved: • Treasurer’s bond insurance for controller Kathy Ross from R. J. Galla for three years for $29,744.

• A five-month contract extension for digital marketing with Cumulus Media Chicago for $20,000. Cumulus has driven enrollment via digital display banners, pre-roll video, social media placements and streaming audio.

• The appointment of Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Bonnie Campbell as Interim Dean of Nursing Programs.

Trustees learned: • 167 summer graduates earned 187 degrees and certificates compared to 132 graduates earning 142 degrees and certificates last summer.

• Brittany Pierski was hired as third shift custodian.

• Resignations were received from payroll and benefits coordinator Tracy Schwemlein; accounting clerk Shante Avila; Learning Resources specialist Katie Pratt; part-time Adult Education instructor Zachary Zrust and assistant women’s soccer coach Jerry Ellerbrock.

In her resignation letter, Avila said, “I have basically grown up at IVCC during my 15 years and I’m not just leaving co-workers but people who have become my family.”

• A $150,000 Capital Development Board appropriation for the Community Technology Center will be used for LED lighting in the Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg Cultural Centre.

• Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEERF) funds will be used to expand the number of LED TVs for college communications across campus and Ottawa Center. In addition, HEERF dollars will replace the digital welcome sign at the intersection of Orlando Smith Road and County Highway 23 (Oglesby spur).

The risks of an overly sedentary lifestyle

Health experts call it “sitting disease.” It refers to when people spend more of their time behind a desk or steering wheel of a car or planted in front of a television than they do engaging in physical activity. According to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs have increased by 83 percent since 1950, and technology has reduced many people’s need to get up and move. Inactivity is taking a considerable toll on public health.

A study from the University of Cambridge equated inactivity with being obese. The Mayo Clinic advises that research has linked sedentary behavior to a host of health concerns, and found those who sat for more than eight hours a day with no physical activity had a risk of dying similar to the risks of fatality linked to obesity and smoking. Increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels, and excess body fat all can be attributed to inactivity.

Mental health can be adversely affected by a sedentary lifestyle as well. Australian researchers surveyed more than 3,300 government employees and found men who sat for

Moving every 30 minutes is one way to reduce the harmful effects of a sedentary lifestyle. more than six hours a day at work were 90 percent more likely to feel moderate psychological distress, such as restlessness, nervousness or hopelessness, than those who sat for less than three hours a day.

In addition, a sedentary lifestyle can significantly increase a person’s risk

for various types of cancer. A German meta-analysis of 43 studies involving four million people indicated those who sit the most have higher propensities to develop colon cancer, endometrial cancer and lung cancer.

Johns Hopkins Medical Center says research shows that high levels

of exercise at some point in the day can lessen some risk, but it’s not entirely effective if most of the rest of the day a person is inactive. Risk for cardiovascular disease increases significantly for people who spend 10 hours or more sitting each day.

Various medical organizations recommend individuals get up and move at any opportunity to help reduce risks of inactivity. Erin Michos, M.D., M.H.S., associate director of preventive cardiology at the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, advises people who are very sedentary to aim for 4,000 steps per day. Such individuals can then build up to a target of 10,000 steps daily.

The Mayo Clinic recommends these strategies to reduce the amount of time you spend sitting.

• Stand while talking on the phone or watching television • Invest in a standing desk • Get up from sitting every 30 minutes • Walk at lunch or during meetings Sedentary lifestyles can affect health in many negative ways. But there are various ways to get up and go over the course of a typical day.

HEALTH MATTERS

HEALTH MATTERS

Healthy habits that can become part of your daily routine A person’s habits can have a strong impact on his or her overall health.

Unhealthy habits like smoking and living a sedentary lifestyle can increase a person’s risk for various conditions and diseases. On the flip side, healthy habits like eating a nutritious diet and getting enough sleep can bolster a person’s immune system and reduce his or her risk for various ailments.

Some healthy habits, like daily exercise, can be time-consuming. Busy adults may not have time to exercise vigorously each day, though the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services urges men and women to find time for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.

But not all healthy habits take up time.

In fact, adults can incorporate various healthy practices into their daily routines without skipping a beat.

• Take the stairs. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator can have a profound effect on overall health. According to Duke University, climbing just two flights of stairs combined per day can contribute to six pounds of weight loss over the course of a single year. In addition, a study from the North American Menopause Society found that stair climbing can help postmenopausal women reduce their risk for osteoporosis and help them lower their blood pressure.

• Drink more water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that water helps the body maintain a normal temperature, lubricates and cushions joints, protects the spinal cord and other sensitive tissues, and helps to rid the body of waste through urination, perspiration and bowel movements. Adults who are thirsty can choose water over soda or other sugary beverages. The CDC notes that sugary beverages like soda and sports drinks contain calories but little nutritional value, making water a healthier way for individuals to quench their thirst.

• Go for daily walks. Walking benefits the body in myriad ways. For example,

the Harvard School of Public Health notes that women who walk 30 minutes per day can reduce their risk of stroke by 20 percent and potentially by 40 percent if they walk briskly. In addition, researchers at the University of Virginia Health System found that men between the ages of 71 and 93 who walked more than a quarter mile per day had half the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as men who walked less. A 15-minute walk around the neighborhood each morning cou-

pled with a 15-minute walk after dinner can help adults dramatically improve their overall health.

• Eat more greens. Eating more greens is another healthy habit that doesn’t require a major overhaul of an individual’s lifestyle. The U.S. Department of Agriculture notes that dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are rich in vitamins A,C, E, and K. The Mayo Clinic notes that vitamin E alone can help people maintain their vision and promote a healthy reproductive system

while also improving the health of the blood, brain and skin. The USDA also notes that green vegetables contain very little carbohydrates, sodium and cholesterol. Adults won’t have to reinvent the dietary wheel to incorporate more greens into their diets, and the results of doing so can have a significant, positive effect on their overall health.

The right habits can help people live healthier lives, and such habits need not require any major life changes.

Beware the threat of overuse injuries Momentum can be a valuable asset as people pursue their fitness goals.

Once a fitness routine picks up steam and begins to produce results, the resulting momentum can make it easier for individuals to fully commit to exercise and ultimately achieve, if not exceed, their initial goals.

A successful fitness regimen includes various components, not the least of which is sufficient rest. As individuals gain momentum and inch closer to their fitness goals, it can be tempting to skip off days. But rest is vital, allowing the body to recover and thus reducing athletes’ risk for various injuries, including overuse injuries.

WHAT IS AN OVERUSE INJURY? All physical activities carry a certain measure of risk. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts suffer injuries each day that have nothing to do with overuse.

Such injuries often aren’t preventable, but overuse injuries are. According to the Mayo Clinic, overuse injuries are caused by repetitive trauma. These injuries affect muscles or joints, and may be caused by training errors or mistakes with technique. Training errors include exercising for too long or

doing too much of a certain activity.

The resulting strain caused by overuse leads to injury. One common example of a technique error that can cause an overuse injury is improper form when performing strength training exercises.

That’s one reason why it’s vital for anyone beginning a new fitness regimen to consult with a coach or personal trainer prior to starting. Coaches and personal trainers can illustrate proper techniques when using strength training equipment or lifting free weights. Such instruction can greatly reduce athletes’ risk for overuse injuries.

CAN OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO OVERUSE INJURIES? Athletes should know that overuse injuries are not always a result of errors with their training or technique. A 2014 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine noted that certain intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors can increase athletes’ risk for overuse injuries.

Intrinsic risk factors for overuse injury include misalignment issues, leg length discrepancy, muscle imbalance, muscle weakness, and body composition.

Adults and parents of young athletes should discuss fitness regimens with

their physicians or children’s pediatricians prior to beginning a routine. Such a discussion may uncover intrinsic risk factors athletes are unaware they have.

Extrinsic risk factors for overuse injuries include surfaces; equipment, including shoes; environmental conditions; and nutrition. Athletes can act as their own watchdogs to prevent overuse in-

juries caused by extrinsic factors, examining equipment and playing surfaces to ensure they’re functional and safe, and eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet.

Overuse injuries are almost always preventable. Though it can be hard to take a break from an exercise routine that’s producing results, rest is integral to a successful fitness regimen. TF217075
