Emma Behrens from Huntley, Marlee Anderson from Cary, and Abby Zera from with awards during a ceremony that was held downstate in Champaign.

McHenry were part of a statewide group of 4-H members who recently were presented

Local teens recognized by 4-H Foundation

Three teenage members of the McHenry County 4-H program recently won awards (one also won a scholarship), which they received in a ceremony downstate in Champaign, Ill. McHenry County 4-H member Emma Behrens, from Huntley, received the Legacy of Leadership Scholarship, given to 4-H members who demonstrate and maintain a high standard of 4-H excellence and mastery during their membership tenure.

The Illinois 4-H Foundation provided $29,000 in college scholarships and awarded another $20,000 in national conference travel scholarships to 4-H members honored at the ceremony held last month. The

annual celebration recognized more than 100 of the top participants in the state’s most successful youth development program.

Behrens also won the 4-H Experience Award-Emerald Level Leadership Award, and the Illinois 4-H Key Award, given to recognize youth leaders who mentor and serve their community.

In their remarks, the 4-H Foundation noted that Behrens has expanded her leadership opportunities by speaking with youth from all backgrounds. Her work helped renew the county Federation program after a 30-year absence. She attended Citizenship Washington Focus and completed Speaking for Illinois 4-H Training. Behrens works to help ur-

ban youth understand livestock.

“4-H means opportunity,” Behrens added. “It gives youth opportunity to explore different project areas. It gives us a platform to express our voice and helps us become well-rounded citizens.”

4-H members Marlee Anderson from Cary, and Abby Zera from McHenry, both won the 4-H Experience Award-Emerald Level Project Learning Award. Illinois 4-H challenges youths to try new things, experiment in project areas that interest them, and explore opportunities around the state and country. The 4-H Experience Award recognizes youths who excel in that challenge.

Lisa Diaz, University of Illinois Extension assistant dean and director

of Illinois 4-H, said, “Our awardees embody the true spirit of 4-H, having made a difference not only in their communities, but also Illinois and the nation. We are proud of the dedication, service, and fortitude of the young men and women who have developed through our 4-H programs.”

‘Click It or Ticket,’ ‘Drive Sober’ campaigns underway As Illinoisans gear up for one of the busiest travel times of the year, the Woodstock Police Department announced its plans for a traffic safety campaign focusing on impaired and unbuckled drivers.

“Holiday traffic brings with it an increased risk for car crashes,” said Chief John Lieb. “To ensure your family makes it to and from your Thanksgiving feast without incident, make a conscious choice to buckle up and plan ahead for a sober driver to provide the ride home.”

According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, 15 motor vehicle crash fatalities occurred in Illinois over the 2018 Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Five of the 15 deaths occurred in

crashes involving at least one driver who had been drinking.

The Woodstock Police Department is partnering with the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement across Illinois for the increased statewide effort. The high-visibility crackdown will run now through the holiday weekend into the early morning hours of Dec. 2.

The “Click It or Ticket” and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaigns are funded by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT. The crackdown runs concurrently with a media campaign reminding motorists that impaired driving has “Life or Death” consequences. Visit LifeOrDeathIllinois.com for more information.

Health Make-a-Thon competition welcomes ‘citizen scientist’ ideas Many people experience frustration around healthcare-related issues, but most of them don’t have the opportunity to help solve those problems—unless they live in the state of Illinois, that is.

All Illinois residents are now invited to submit ideas for improving human health to the second annual Illinois Health Make-a-Thon competition. The 10 best ideas will each be supported by $10,000 in Health Maker Lab resources to create a real prototype of their idea.

Carle Illinois College of Medicine created the competition with the goal of democratizing health innovation. Mar-

ty Burke, associate dean of research at Carle Illinois, said that the people with the best ideas are often not trained scientists, but citizens who live with health issues day after day.

“We’re empowering people to get involved in the quality of their own care by saying we believe that everyone has good ideas and we want to hear them,” said Burke, who refers to such people as “citizen scientists.”

“Literally anyone with an idea for improving human health has a chance to access our maker lab resources where our experts will guide them through

bers involved in envisioning the future of healthcare and taking charge of their own health outcomes,” said Illinois Extension’s Director Shelly Nikols-Richardson. “Illinois Extension supports approaches that empower individuals in identifying existing problems and coming up with creative solutions to make living better.”

Idea submissions will be accepted between now and Jan. 6, 2020. Finalists will be notified in February 2020, and 10 winners will be chosen at the Health Make-a-Thon event March 28, 2020.

concepting, designing, making, failing and trying again.”

Amaury Saulsberry, who submitted a winning idea to the first Health Make-aThon, has been working with the Health Maker Lab network to move his “smart pacifier” from concept toward reality.

Saulsberry said his idea was sparked after watching his baby brother suffer with undiagnosed gastro reflux disease for the first three months of his life.

“Doctors usually just see what’s happening with the baby in the office, not at home,” said Saulsberry. “The smart pacifier will record vitals like a baby’s

temperature and pH levels so doctors get information more efficiently and can see levels over time.”

While the first-ever Health Make-aThon was open only to ideas submitted

by Champaign County residents, this year’s competition invites all residents of Illinois to participate. As part of the first state-wide event, University of Illinois Extension offices across the state will engage in friendly competition to see which of the 27 units represents the greatest number of submitted ideas.

State unemployment rate remains at historic low in October

The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) has announced that nonfarm payrolls increased to a record high 1,900 jobs compared to last month, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at an historically low 3.9 percent in October, based on preliminary data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and released

by IDES. The September monthly change in payrolls was revised from the preliminary report from +4,800 to +8,500 jobs.

The state’s unemployment rate is 0.3 percentage points higher than the national unemployment rate reported for October 2019, which was 3.6 percent and up 0.1 percentage point from the previous month. The Illinois unemployment rate was down -0.3 percentage points from a year ago when it was 4.2 percent.

Illinois payroll employment has shown variability since the beginning of the year, as have national payrolls.

Average payroll employment in Illinois during the August to October threemonth period, which provides a more stable measure of payroll employment change, was up 1,500 jobs compared to the July-September three-month period.

The largest average gains were found in government (+2,300), other services (+600), and trade, transportation, and utilities (+500).

“Job growth remains strong in Illinois and this administration is committed to building on that foundation with policies that lift up working families,” said Deputy Governor Dan Hynes. “From raising the minimum

In my opinion

America is squandering our grandchildren’s future Many of us sense our great nation—that City upon a Hill—is slipping down the slope, yet we’re not sure how to restrain the slide.

Our democratic process is wonderful, yet not perfect. For example, frequent elections— combined with candidates who think the fate of the Western World rides on their personal re-election— induce politicians to focus laser-like on short-term gratification, their own and that of the voters. There is no political benefit, indeed there are costs, in thinking about the world our grandchildren will inherit.

Our political campaigns are rife with claims of leadership qualities, yet elected officials are really followers, not leaders, as maybe they should be in a democracy.

Candidates pore over opinion polls to learn what they can talk about to curry voter favor, and what they must avoid.

The really tough, fundamental issues are rarely on America’s radar screen, among them the following:

By

JAMES D. NOWLAN

• Social Security and Medicare.

In a few years, both will run out of the money to pay full claims.

Modest tweaking of the taxes and benefits could assure a future for both.

• Debt. The recent federal tax cut for you and me is paid for almost dollar for dollar with $1.5 trillion in debt, piled atop many other trillions.

• K-12 education. We talk about this endlessly, yet we ignore the imperative to lengthen the school day and year, and replace the long summer break with several shorter breaks throughout the year—as in other developed nations and China.

• Higher education. According to the College Board, per student spending by state and local governments declined by 15 percent in real terms between 2000 and 2017, while student debt soared.

• Health care. Expenditures have increased from 5 percent of GDP in 1960 to near 20 percent of a much larger real GDP today. Our governments have shifted spending from seed corn functions like higher education to meet health care costs, which are disproportionately claimed by old codgers like me. We are robbing young Peter to pay old Paul.

• Health. We couldn’t have fought World War II with today’s young, of whom fewer than 3 in 10 can meet armed services standards, according to Pentagon data reported in the Wall Street Journal. Related, obesity is an expensive epidemic, pumping diabetes rates sky high.

• Personal accountability and family disarray. Our wellintentioned welfare programs

require nothing in return from recipients, such as parent training, and dampen initiative. In my rural Illinois setting, Government has too often replaced Dad. What to do?

• A new political party, maybe the Party for the Common Good; we may be individualist by nature, but we’re all in this together. The two major parties are bankrupt. The Democratic Party offers little but identity hand-wringing and more spending; the GOP, more tax cuts paid with debt.

The Republican Party started out as a third party, and Lincoln won the presidency with just 39 percent of the vote. I think a plurality of voters would resonate to the call to address tough, even uncomfortable, baseline issues.

• A national spreadsheet (today’s term is “dashboard”) that annually tracks and puts in our faces the trend lines of our progress or decline on issues such as those above. The

Party for the Common Good could take the lead in this, as part of its focus on the future.

• A civic Great Awakening, similar to the rousing religious awakenings that swept our new nation in the early 19th Century and transformed lives. I call on leading groups across the spectrum such as the conservative Heritage Foundation, the League of Women Voters and the AFl-CIO to rise up in coalition and lead the charge.

I worry readers might smile at my musings, as if our situation is beyond resolve. Yet, absent action on the fundamental problems, I worry about the future of our City upon a Hill, and of our grandchildren.

Compared to a year ago, nonfarm payroll employment increased by 57,000 jobs with the largest gains in: Leisure and hospitality (+17,500), educational and health services (+15,500), and government (+11,700).

The industry sectors with the largest over-the-year declines were: information (-3,400), manufacturing (-1,900), and construction (-1,600).

Illinois nonfarm payrolls were up 0.9 percent over-the-year as compared to the nation’s 1.4 percent over-the-year gain in October.

The number of unemployed work-

ers decreased from the prior month, 1.9 percent to 251,000, a new record low, and was down 8.6 percent over the same month for the prior year.

The labor force was nearly unchanged over-the-month but up 0.6 percentage points over-the-year. The unemployment rate identifies those individuals who are out of work and seeking employment.

An individual who exhausts or is ineligible for benefits is still reflected in the unemployment rate if they actively seek work.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have announced a new partnership with the Food Waste Reduction Alliance, the latest effort in the Winning on Reducing Food Waste Initiative launched by the three federal agencies in 2018.

The USDA, EPA and FDA will formalize industry education and outreach efforts with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Food Marketing Institute, and the National Restaurant Association, the three founding partners of the Food Waste Reduction Alliance (FWRA).

The FWRA represents three major sectors of the supply chain: food manufacturing, retail, and restaurant and food service. The alliance pursues three goals: reducing the amount of food waste generated; increasing the amount of safe, nutritious food donated to those in need; and diverting food waste from landfills.

“USDA shares many common goals with the Food Waste Reduction Alliance, including our belief in the power of teamwork,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.

“We are proud to join this public-private partnership to prompt action throughout the food system.”

“EPA is proud to build upon the Winning on Reducing Food Waste Initiative through this partnership with leaders of the Food Waste Reduction Alliance,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Reducing food loss and waste has many environmental and social benefits.

By collaborating with these major segments of the food supply chain, we are making progress toward the national goal to reduce food loss and waste by 50 percent by 2030.”

“The FDA strongly supports our shared goal of reducing the amount of food that Americans waste through important efforts like today’s agreement,” said Acting FDA Commissioner Ned Sharpless, M.D. “The issues of food waste and food safety go hand in hand and we will continue to work with our federal partners and other stakeholders on enhancing our

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is ready to deliver more than 28 million packages per day between Dec.1621, and will average 20.5 million packages per day through the remainder of the year.

With a projected 800 million package deliveries between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the Postal Service delivers more packages to homes than any other shipper.

The Postal Service will expand Sunday delivery beginning Nov. 24 to locations with high package volumes. USPS already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities, and anticipates delivering more than 8 million packages on Sundays in December. Mail carriers will also deliver packages for an additional fee on Christmas Day in select locations.

The Postal Service plans for the peak holiday season all year. This includes making sure the right equipment is available to sort, process and deliver the expected mail and package volumes. Seasonal workers are hired when and where needed, and technology has been expanded to en-

The Illinois Railway Museum is pleased to announce that it has achieved its initial fundraising goal for Toledo Peoria & Western 800, the Alco C424 locomotive acquired in 2018 from the Morristown & Erie Railroad.

This initial goal, to raise $60,000 to fund the purchase of the locomotive and transportation to Union, was accomplished largely through donations made by museum members and supporters. IRM gratefully acknowledges the generosity of everyone who donated towards the acquisition and preservation of this historic locomotive.

As part of the initial fundraising campaign to Save the 800, a series of donor “thank you” gifts were offered and these will be sent out to

campaign donors shortly.

With the completion of initial fundraising for TP&W 800, the locomotive’s future at IRM has been secured. However more work remains to be done: the museum intends to put the locomotive into long-term protective indoor storage and also intends to repaint it in TP&W colors. To this end, a new fundraising campaign for TP&W 800 is now being inaugurated.

The goal of this campaign is to raise the $23,000 needed to fund indoor storage for the locomotive ($14,000) and to repaint it in T&PW colors ($9,000). For more information on how you can help return this engine to its TP&W appearance, see www.irm.org/ tpw800.

efforts to reduce food waste and do it safely. We are committed to doing all that we can to support safe and sound food policy decisions that are good for our families, good for our communities, and good for our planet.”

Federal officials shared the news on Oct. 30 at the 2019 Food Waste Summit, hosted by ReFED, a nonprofit that uses a data-driven approach to combat food loss and waste. At the event, federal officials also recognized the growing cadre of U.S. Food Loss and Waste 2030 Champions, a group of corporations and organizations that have made a public commitment to reduce food loss and waste in their U.S. operations by 50 percent by

the year 2030.

In the U.S., more than one-third of all available food goes uneaten through loss or waste. Food is the single largest type of waste in our daily trash. In recent years, great strides have been made to highlight and mitigate food loss and waste, but the work has just begun.

When food is tossed aside, so too are opportunities for economic growth, healthier communities, and environmental protection – but that can change through partnership, leadership, and action.

The Winning on Reducing Food Waste Initiative is a collaborative effort among USDA, EPA, and FDA to reduce food loss and waste through combined and agency-specific action.

Individually and collectively, these agencies contribute to the initiative, encourage long-term reductions, and work toward the goal of reducing food loss and waste in the United States.

These actions include research, community investments, education and outreach, voluntary programs, public-private partnerships, tool development, technical assistance, event participation, and policy discussion.

Delivering for the military and overseas The Postal Service also processes mail for overseas Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of State (DoS) recipients.

More tips for a successful holiday mailing and shipping season • Use free Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. They are available at local Post Offices or online at usps.com/ freeboxes; • Make it easy with Click-N-Ship.

You can create shipping labels and pay for postage online at usps.com/ ship; Schedule a free Package • Pickup when the carrier delivers your mail. It’s free regardless of the number of packages. Or, pickups can be scheduled at usps.com/pickup;

• New this year, mail and packages weighing more than 10 ounces and/or are more than a half-inch think using stamps as postage cannot be dropped into a collection box or left for a carrier to pick up.
