In a medical emergency, minutes really matter. Faster response means care is delivered to a patient in a timelier manner, leading to better overall outcomes. The closer the ambulance service, the quicker the response time and the faster that treatment can be provided to a patient.

Your hometown, physical therapy provider

The North Boone Fire Department (NBFD) plays a critical role in the region’s fire and public safety infrastructure. In addition to providing fire and rescue services, North Boone has a fully-staffed ambulance with an available paramedic and EMT. Now NBFD seeks to operate its own 24/7 ambulance service to provide more timely and consistent service to its residents.

To do this, North Boone is required by law to ask voters to help fund this expanded ambulance service. The department has filed the necessary paperwork for the Yes/No referendum and the question will be on the ballot in the March 15, 2016 election.

The referendum issue would require the owner of a $100,000 house to pay just $16.67 each year in additional property taxes.

It’s a small price to pay for added safety.

Sweetening your grapes

I

t can seem overwhelming sometimes – this thing called life. You awaken at 4:00 a.m. because it is a “migraine day,” and roll over while trying not to move your head, just hoping to get back to sleep for another hour or two.

You discover the furnace needs repairs and the washing machine needs replacing – all in the same day. The morning alarm didn’t go off and no one had time to make coffee. You are out of ketchup and you’d planned on having hamburgers for supper. There’s dog hair all over the carpet and muddy cat paw prints across the newly cleaned kitchen floor (and table, but I wouldn’t admit to that publicly). The dining room table is covered in receipts and tax documents. It’s the first of the month and bills are due and you can’t find the checkbook.

One kid claims he doesn’t have clean underwear because the laundry is piled high because the washer has been broken for a few days because it broke when one of the other kids was doing a load and he or she never thought to tell you.

Another of the kids calls. He has a flat tire. Again. Your car is nearly out of gas so you have to fill up before you can go rescue him. The school calls. Your kid threw up in science class.

Again. It is raining or snowing, or maybe probably both? The snow blower or the lawn mower or maybe probably both are on the fritz. Again.

You forgot to take your vitamins and only realize this when you reach for the aspirin. Because you still have that headache.

Your day, your week, heck your life in general seeps with potential for chaos and complaints. It can be overwhelming sometimes. It can be.

The furnace needs repairs and I am able to call a repairperson and keep our house warm. The washing machine needs replacing and I am able to go to the store and order a new one. I have a coffee maker. It works when I press a button.

A hamburger without ketchup is still a hamburger. Plus, I can probably find a recipe for an interesting sauce online. It’s practically why Pinterest was invented.

Dog hair indicates a house that has the ability to love and care for animals. Ditto that for the cat paw prints. Pets give us an unconditional love like no other. Dogs do, at least. Cats 5th

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

allow us to clean up their paw prints.

Receipts and tax documents mean we had jobs and income during the previous year. We were able to purchase food and pay the mortgage and live in our house and be a family.

The bills are due. They aren’t overdue.

A lack of clean clothes and washing machine doesn’t prevent those clothes from being laundered. Teaching kids how to handwash items in a pinch is a valuable skill. Besides clean underwear is over-rated.

Having a snow blower and lawn mower means you have somewhere to blow and mow.

Rain and snow means Mother Nature is doing her job. Precipitation is typically a good thing.

Every living being – from a daisy to an oak tree to a resident of California would tell you so.

A flat tire can be fixed. No one is hurt and filling up the gas is a lot less painful now than a year ago. You can pick up the sick kid while rescuing the flat tire one. That’s a twofer.

And tonight at supper they will be home with you. All under one roof. You don’t appreciate simple things like that until they are gone.

Life. It can be overwhelming sometimes. It sure can. For me this is most likely to happen in the wee hours of the morning while I lie in bed thinking of my to-do list and all the things that could go wrong with the upcoming day or week or year or millennium.

It can be overwhelming sometimes. It is overwhelming sometimes. But it doesn’t have to be. Not always. You get to choose the fullness of your cup and the sweetness of your grapes (or wine as the case may be). As long as you realize you’re the one with the power to do so.

I attempt to make mine full to the brim with a nice white – preferably an oaky Chardonnay.

Life is tough then they make you change your clocks STATELINE — Here’s what you need to know about the time change this weekend Remember: Spring forward and fall back for daylight saving time.

1. When do I need to change my clocks?

On the second Sunday in March, (March 13, this year,) move your clocks ahead one hour; you should reset your clocks before going to bed, so you won’t arrive at appointments an hour late 2. What effect does the time change have on my body?

The effect depends on a person’s age and work, eating and sleep schedules, according to David Earnest, a professor of neuroscience and experimental therapeutics at Texas A&M University.

“Our internal clocks have to shift, be it only an hour, and the ability to do that varies from individual to individual,” Earnest said.

Sleep-wake cycles change as people age, so adults 65 and older may struggle with the time change more than others. “(They) tend to go to bed earlier, wake up in the middle of the night and have sleep interrupted in the middle of the night by frequent waking and difficulty getting back to sleep,” he said. “A typical person should be able to adjust to the new time change within a day or two.”

3. When was daylight saving time signed into law?

In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act into law. The U.S. Department of Transportation is the keep-

er of daylight saving time.

4. Why does it exist?

One argument for daylight saving time is that fewer accidents happen during daylight hours, so extending morning daylight in winter and evening daylight in summer results in a slight reduction in automobile accidents.

The idea behind daylight saving time is to take advantage of daylight hours and save energy. According to a 2008 federal Department of Energy study, U.S. electricity use decreased by 0.5% for each day of extended daylight saving time, resulting in a savings of 0.03% for the year as a whole, KING-TV, Seattle, reported.

The savings are small in percentage terms, but in absolute terms, they added up to 1.3 billion kilowatt-hours — enough to power about 122,000 average U.S. homes for a year. These savings come in the summer months of daylight saving time, not the Standard Time months we are about to enter.

The time change actually is rooted in an agricultural society, Earnest said. The idea of “extending” daylight was meant to provide more time to work in the fields.

“General consensus is that really most of those things that were used as arguments for having daylight saving time in the past are really not applicable nowadays,” he said.

“Every year, the question is: ‘Why are we continuing with this, particularly when in some cases, it is more of a nuisance than benefit?’ “

Prior to State’s Attorney Courier taking office, Belvidere faced unprecedented gang activity and gang violence. It has been a combination of several factors which have made Belvidere a safer place to live today: directed prosecution against gang and narcotic offenders, proactive policing concentrating on narcotics and gangs, and finally getting local neighborhoods involved.

Before going, I did not crush on France or harbor fantasies of Parisian cafes and Eiffel Tower kisses like so many people do, but once I arrived, I fell head over stiletto heels. Smooch smooch, bisou bisou, cheek cheek. Ooh la la.

The food, the wine, the art, the architecture, the history, the beauty, the Old World charm, the culture, the pace of life, it all moved me. France cradled me in her arms and spoke to my soul. “Joie de vivre, the joy of living, take it home with you,” she whispered.

And I did. When we moved back, my writing career and speaking career officially took off. Talks of life in France led to talks of living your joy led to talks of writing your joy. I still speak and coach on joy and writing, but I let the French stuff fade away. I thought perhaps folks would get tired of France stories and I didn’t want to hang my hat on past “glory days.”

But it keeps popping back up.

Americans are fascinated with the French way of life, rightfully so. One of the lessons in my joy life mastery program is called What Would A French Girl Do. I recently gave a talk on that topic for a women’s networking group in Chicago. We all want the quiet confidence of a French woman.

Even though it has been nearly a decade since I lived as a French woman (well, an American woman with really bad French but cute boots and skirts), the need to share the secrets of that way of living is back in play. Partly because I continue to live the joie de vivre and my glory days are now my every days.

Since that time away, I started on a different kind of journey, a journey into me. My path has led me to my Prince Charming and our amazing fairy tale life.

I don’t need to go to the City of Lights because I have a beautiful romantic life right here. That makes people curious and they want to learn how to achieve their own version of the joie de vivre in their work life and love life.

It is my joy to teach it. It is also my joy to be going back to France. For the pure joy of it.

My prince and I are taking the month of September to simply go live in the south of France.

Our home base for most of the month will be Aix-en-Provence.

The anticipation of it brings joy. Over the next six months, we will savor the planning and I will let you in on another secret.

It has been a while since we have done a group trip, and you keep asking for one.

Hiring Professional Truck Drivers

Continued from page 9 Readers joined me in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day in 2010 and we did an Alaskan cruise in 2012. It appears a group trip to France is revealing itself for 2017. If the idea of a magical week in the south of France (not Paris) brings you joy, pencil me in.

Details will be announced

when they are firmed up. It is interesting how things come back around. I thought France was part of my past, a defining part for sure, and it is exciting that it is part of my present and my future.

Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this event, please call 1-888653-6441.
