Traffic pattern change on IL Route 78 bridge The Illinois Department of Transportation has announced that weather permitting, a traffic pattern change on the IL 78 bridge over the Rock River in Prophetstown began July 2.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane utilizing temporary signals in the northbound lane while Civil Constructors, Inc. completes the repairs on the southbound lane of the bridge.

The bridge will be posted with maximum width signs of 11’ 6” but will have a 13’ 0” clear opening across the bridge for the remaining two-month duration of the project. Agricultural equipment and implements wider than 13 feet will need to find an alternate route or be staged to minimize adverse travel.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area.

To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.

FAIR EXHIBITORS

IDOA announces youth livestock and horse fair Illinois youth livestock and horse exhibitors will return to the Illinois State Fairground and the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in late summer to show their animals, the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) announced recently.

“After the cancellations of the Illinois and Du Quoin State Fairs, we knew there was a need to recognize our junior exhibitors who work year round preparing for the fairs,” Acting Ag Director Jerry Costello II said in a prepared statement. We are excited to provide

modified shows that will provide an opportunity for young adults to exhibit their animals safely following the Restore Illinois plan.

The livestock shows will happen on two weekends in Springfield while the horse shows will start the end of August in DuQuoin and continue in September. Participation is restricted to Illinois residents ages 8 to 21.

Exhibitors will bring beef cattle, sheep, dairy goats, pygmy goats and rabbits to show at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Sept. 11-13. From

Sept. 18-20, exhibitors will show hogs, dairy cattle and meat goats in Springfield.

At the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds, a Junior Horse Show will start with English style classes Aug. 29-30. From Sept. 5-6, riders will return for Western style classes on the southern Illinois fairgrounds.

A $10 entry fee will be charged for the Junior Horse Show. Livestock entry fees will vary, depending on the species. A $20 fee will be charged for beef cattle. A $15 fee will be charged for dairy cattle, swine,

sheep and goats. A $1 fee will be charged for rabbits and poultry.

On June 12, Gov. J.B. Pritzker canceled the two state fairs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, Illinois 4-H is planning virtual judging for thousands of 4-Hers who represent their county 4-H programs in state competitions that traditionally are held during the Illinois State Fair.

More details on the Junior Livestock and Horse Shows will be posted on IDOA’s website.

MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse, which is in the middle of a major expansion project, is canceling its 2020 season because of the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, the theater company announced today.

“Next week, we would have celebrated the world premiere of ‘What a Wonderful World’,” Dan Danielowski, executive director of TLP, said in a news release. “To have to make this decision is very disappointing to all of us.”

The Restore Illinois Phase 4 guidelines limit gatherings to 50 people.

“Not only is it tough to play to 50 people in a 400-seat theater, we have already pre-sold more than double the number of tickets that we could allow in the theatre per production,” Danielowski said.

More than 50 company members had to be released from their contracts.

“Although they were disappointed in hearing the season was cancelled, they understood and expected this decision,” Artistic Director Paul Stancato said in the release.

“As of today, we are not sure what

their 2020 subscriptions for 2021 subscription.

Concert or show ticketholders can convert their tickets into gift certificates that can be used for anything at TLP including registration for education programs, online purchases from the gift shop, or next year’s tickets and subscriptions. Gift certificates never expire.

Refunds also are available, or unused tickets or subscriptions can be donated back to TLP. Go go www. timberlakeplayhouse.org or call the box office at 815- 244-2035 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday through July 17, or find the playhouse on Facebook for more information.

Before the pandemic took hold, though, the 59-year-old summer stock theater was in the midst a 5-year, $1.4 million expansion and upgrade that including winterization, new housing, rehearsal areas, and dining facilities, with the goal of becoming a year-round entertainemnt venue.

Any donations to the cause would be appreciated, especially given the loss of revenue from this year’s cancellation. Donations can be sent to Timber Lake Playhouse, 8215 Black Oak Road, Mount Carroll. IL 61053.

Vagus nerve: The most powerful nerve in the body

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. The vagus nerve is not only the longest nerve in the body but one of the most powerful as well.

Researchers have implanted devices to stimulate the vagus nerve and seen a variety of benefits including protecting the heart.

These devices are already approved for testing seizures and depression They are being studied for fibromyalgia, diabetes, irritable bowel, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

The way this process works is that

activation of the vagus nerve leads to decreased inflammation.

Other conditions of common nature associated with decreased vagaries tone are hoarseness, migraines, low blood pressure, choking while eating, addiction, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disease, and many others.

The vagus nerve is the one that causes the gag reflex. The importance of this nerve helps to control both the parasympathetic system and sympathetic system.

Think of these as somewhat oppo-

site functions with the sympathetic system being the flight or fright system and the parasympathetic system the natural relaxation portion that also controls breathing and heart rate.

The Heart Rate Variability measurement is how the heart varies with breathing in the breathing out.

Higher differences in the heart rates with breathing are associated with better health, better hearts, increased happiness, improvement in mortality.

Here are 16 ways to improve your

vagal tone: deep breathing with your diaphragm; meditation; singing, chanting, humming.

The sound Ohm is particularly helpful; laughing; tai chi; gargling; increased omega 3 in diet; relaxing music like ocean waves; cold water on the face; aromatherapy; fasting; massages; yoga; face to face social encounters and other activities to increase oxytocin; and sun exposure which helps with UV. All of the above help increase acetylcholine which helps with relaxation.
