Lena Business and Professional Association announces Christmas Walk schedule The LBPA Hometown Christmas will celebrate “Miracle on Main.”

We are planning a lighted parade with a luminary walk from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 1. The parade will begin at 6 p.m. starting at the Village Hall, down Main Street, crossing the railroad tracks, and continuing up Railroad Street and tentatively ending at Lobdell Transportation.

During the parade we will have a tree lighting ceremony on the square downtown as Santa passes by.

A window decorating and a yard

decorating contest will be held in conjunction with this themed event.

Entry forms are included and must be turned in by Nov. 27. Judging will take place on Nov. 30th and Dec. 1.

A Community Giving Tree will be at Fluegel’s. This tree will consist of items listed on an ornament for children and needs for community families. Everything will be in code without names visible. Response for the giving tree last year was abundant.

We are also having a Teacher Tree for teacher’s needs at Lena-Winslow

Schools. With all the budget cuts, classroom needs have been noted and we have volunteered to help.

Children may visit Santa at Citizens State Bank, following the parade until 8:30 p.m., or deposit letters to Santa in his mailbox in the bank lob-

by. Their letters will be answered by Santa. He is so excited to hear from all the children in the area.

The Lena United Methodist Church will be hosting a Cookie Walk again this year and a Chili Supper.

The Lena Library is hosting a Fam-

ily Fun Night with Christmas readings.

We hope you will join us in our excitement for all the festivities we have planned. Remember we all need to work together for the better of Lena. It’s a great place to live.

Panthers play for state title REPORTER

The Panthers did what a prospective Champion must do on Saturday afternoon. They played great defense and let the running game carry it to a very important win. Lena-Winslow defeated Forreston 12-8 in the Class 1A Semi-Final. The win propelled the Panthers into the IHSA Class 1A State Championship this Friday in DeKalb at 10 a.m. against Tuscola.

Rahveon Valentine was dutifully grounded in Saturday’s game. He carried the ball 26 times and picked up 107 yards through his efforts. However, he didn’t score. It’s not something that has happened much this season. The twelve points scored was the lowest Lena-Winslow has put up all year as well. The next lowest total was in week two when they faced the Forreston Cardinals for the first time this year. They scored 28 in the two-touchdown win back on September 1.

Lena-Winslow has averaged 55 points or more for the playoffs. They scored 55 in the season closer over Dakota on Oct. 20, 55-7, in week nine. When the playoffs started they put up 55 against Stark County and then dropped their average briefly with a 49-point outburst in the Class 1A second round meeting with Milledgeville.

In the Class 1A Quarterfinal the Panthers scored 67 points in a battle with the NUIC-Upstate’s last remaining representative, Freeport Aquin.

The Nov. 11 win opened the door to this past weekend’s Semi-Final

victory against the defending State Champion Cardinals. The State’s top-ranked team plays for the 1A crown now and will face a strong team with a long history of success.

Lena-Winslow plays Tuscola in the Class 1A Title Game this Friday morning.

The Warriors are an historic program with a recent history of season-extension success. They’ve only lost five games since the 2014 school year, including back-to-back one loss seasons in 2015 and 2016. They’ve been playing football a long time and could be considered one of the founding members of Illinois High School Football. In 1895, the first season-long football statistics were set in stone and reported to the State’s High School Sports Governing Council.

Tuscola plays out of the Central Illinois Football Conference and is undefeated, similar to Lena-Winslow.

They have scored 639 points and given up only 169 in those contests.

The Panthers still get the slight edge. They have scored 654 points this year and have given up 166.

The difference is a s couple scores here and a partial stop there, but it is substantial when you consider which teams Lena-Winslow had to beat to put itself in this position now.

As far as the numbers show, the Class 1A State Championship Game between the Lena-Winslow Panthers and the Tuscola Warriors, does seem to reflect the two best teams in the State of Illinois this year. The Championship Trophy could deservedly go to either. Go Panthers!

Lena-Winslow Elementary School celebrated American Education Week this week with the theme: “A Star Spangled Celebration.” Students wrote on small stars what they like about our school, and then the stars were attached to the large flag in the picture. Each teacher in the school had a large star & students wrote notes and compliments on the stars which were also displayed in the hall.

On Wednesday they presented the support personnel with star shaped cookies to show them what an important part of the school they are and how much we appreciate them. Students brought in canned goods for the food pantry and pet items for the local shelter, and wore Panther gear to show our school pride and support for the football team’s great success.

Lena KOA wins major awards during annual convention The Lena KOA Campground, owned and operated by Joseph and Diane Long, has been awarded the 2018 KOA Presidents Award and KOA Founders Award by Kampgrounds of America Inc., the world’s largest system of family-friendly campgrounds. The awards were presented Friday, Nov. 17 at KOA’s annual International Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. KOA is also celebrating its 55th Anniversary in 2017.

The KOA Founders and KOA

Presidents Awards are presented annually to campgrounds that receive the highest scores in customer service from their campers, and also receive top scores in KOA’s annual Quality Review.

The KOA Founders Award, named in honor of Dave Drum, who founded KOA on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962, is given to those KOA campground owners and managers who attained the very top scores in both

customer service and the KOA Quality Review. KOA surveys hundreds of thousands of campers each year regarding their KOA camping experience.

“We are so proud to honor these fantastic KOA campground owners and managers,” said KOA President and CEO Pat Hittmeier. “The recipients of these awards do a wonderful job of taking care of our guests, and that’s why we include guest feedback as a major factor when selecting campgrounds for these awards. KOA Founders Award and KOA Presidents Award recipients are the best of the best in camping.”

Lena-Winslow Theatre Department brings Shue’s ‘The Foreigner’ to comedic life EDITOR

Since its creation in 1985, Larry Shue’s The Foreigner has become the stuff of countless high school to professional level theater productions. Much of its appeal is that the script permits a talented cast and team of directors to endow whatever dimension they desire. The Lena-Winslow High School Theatre Department not only met that challenge, but exceeded it with talent for its presentation of the play last Friday and Saturday nights.

The story: The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time “Froggy” has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy,” before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone, the fun really begins as Charlie overhears damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant.

Directors Mary Ellen Modica, Zach Masa-Meyers and Iris Trimble worked tirelessly to bring an expe-

rienced and talented troupe that is sprinkled with gifted newcomers to the Lena-Winslow Fine Arts Center stage.

Asa Lake as Charlie, the shy “good listener” kept the audience in stitches with his simple raised eyebrow glances and shocked smiles as he eavesdropped through the show.

John Jurkovic portrayed Froggy perfectly with made up stories about a foreign exotic land and his partner’s

inability to grasp English as a second language; the very epitome of a cheerful British Army man who teaches the use of explosives. Kierra-Lynn Schulz brings what has to be a natural affinity for fun and sarcasm to the role of Betty Meeks, an elderly widow who owns a resort lodge and mothers her guests. Kenny Broge brought a touch of dark reality with his faultless performance as Owen, a redneck good ol’ boy of

the worst kind that lives in town and actresses Ella Brunner and Krista Keene brought their characters Edith and Amy to life using an all too real portrayal of random townspeople attempting to help a visitor. Lauren Guy shone through her personification of Catherine, a pretty heiress going through an emotional time. She is kind and caring towards Ellard her seemingly challenged brother who is heir to half the family fortune if Catherine decides he is “smart enough to handle it”. Ellard, played with real heart by Isaac Shelly is a kind, gentle hearted man, but no one really gives him the time of day until Charlie comes into the picture.

Noah Milder brought Rev. David Marshall Lee to life brilliantly as Catherine’s betrothed and, “it would appear, a good young man to have on our side”. Midler drifts in and out of the play with perfection and always seems like a charmer when the ladies are around, but when it is just him alone with Charlie he begins to show his true colors.

At its silly, romantic heart, The Foreigner traces the opening up of a repressed sad sack, who even manages to find true love in a somewhat bitter and regretful Catherine. All in all, the troupe provided solid laughs in a solid production that resulted in another great night at the theatre.

DONNA GAYL (DAVIDSON) DOUGHERTY Donna Gayl (Davidson) Dougherty died peacefully at home in her sleep on Nov. 6, 2017. Her oldest son Robin, was there waiting in heaven for her, having just died a few weeks earlier. Donna was born on Nov. 14, 1930, the only child of Ray and Marie (Obert) Davidson, and spent her early childhood days romping around on their pig farm outside of McConnell IL or her grandparents’ farm in Orangeville before moving to Cedarville where she attended school. After graduating from Freeport High School in 1948 she worked at Micro Switch. She had a knack for numbers and became a successful bookkeeper. She also considered herself a darn good ice skater at that time and spent winter days on local ponds and rivers.

In 1955 she married Robert Bauer and moved to Stockton where she raised her three children; Fawn (Chuck) of WA, and Robin (Janet) and Jay (Kim) of Stockton. In 1979 she married Don Dougherty and her family grew in size, with Kathy (John) and Karen (Vern) of CA, Dennis (Carol) and Maxine (Dick) of Rockford, Danny (Sharon) of Sandwich and Colleen (Andy) of Freeport. Donna and Don lived 25 wonderful years at Apple Canyon Lake where they loved spending time on the lake, hosting Bears tailgate parties and playing golf. They moved to Stockton in 2005, where Don died in 2009.

Her family was everything to her.

She was the perfect mom; encouraging, patient, loving, always positive. She spent countless hours baking cookies, supporting lemonade stands, leading groups of brownies and cub scouts on outings. Donna could be found at every game cheering on her boys at sporting events.

She loved watching them play sports.

Her grand kids were the light of her life. She had five grandchildren on the Bauer side and 13 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren on the Dougherty side. Everyone loved spending time with Grama, whether it was playing cards and board games, swimming off the pontoon boat, hunting for turtles or reading books together. She had an endless amount of love to give.

Donna also loved her friends, and she had many. She was on several bowling and golf leagues and served 25 years on the board of the Stockton Community Golf Course. She loved traveling with her friends and fami-

ly; be it to a special golf course, to Ireland or to visit her grandkids in Alaska. She was up for any adventure. She was also a card player... from early euchre clubs in her basement on High Street, to her favorite Women’s Wednesday Poker Club, she loved to play cards, and was eager to take your nickels from you.

Most of all Donna LOVED parties of all kinds. She was never one to turn down an invitation. Good appetizers and Happy Hours were essential…. and throw in a Friday night fish fry catfish dinner at a local bar—it doesn’t get any better than this! She was fun to be around, and always the life of the party!

Donna will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will take place at the Holy Cross Church in Stockton on Friday, Nov. 24, at 11 a.m. Visitation will be at the church from 9-11 with a luncheon following the service. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established. Condolences may be shared with Donna’s family at www.hermannfuneralhome.com.

JOEL M. KAUFMAN Joel M. Kaufman, 78, lifelong Stephenson County resident, died Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017 at his home in Lena with his wife by his side, after courageously battling cancer, and concluding the battle with grace and faith.

Joel was born July 31, 1939 in Freeport, to Robert and Florene (Clark) Kaufman; he attended Stockton schools, graduating Stockton High School in 1957. He earned an Associate Degree in Business from Highland Community College.

Joel wed Maralee Floski Oct. 7, 1978 in Mt. Morris. Mare and Joel put down roots, built careers, raised their blended family, grieved the loss of a child, and crisscrossed the country by car (camper often in tow), driving to Mt. Rushmore with their son, Matthew, when he was just five weeks old. After raising four boys, Mare and Joel became doting grandparents to four sweet, smart and sassy little women.

Joel enjoyed a long career as a computer programmer/analyst. But his true gift was that of a servant: Joel never met a stranger and he joyfully embraced every opportunity to help a friend, neighbor or family member.

Joel was a 34-year member of the Lena Lions Club where he held the positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Fall Festival Treasurer. He was the proud recipient of the Lions’ Melvin Jones Fellow and Illinois Foundation Fellow awards, and the International President’s Award. He was a long-time member of Evangelical Free Church of Lena.

Other than volunteer work and

golf, few things gave Joel more pleasure than talking sports. He would argue in favor of any team he thought was performing well (except the Packers); but he remained devoted always to the Stockton Blackhawks, Chicago Bears and the Cubs, whether the “W” flew or not.

Though a servant’s heart has stopped beating, Joel’s countless good deeds will live on in the memories of his wife, Maralee of Lena; their son, Matthew (Cyndi) and their daughters, Izabella, 8, twins Meghan and Samantha, 2, and Jaydyn Manning, 10, all of Freeport; sons, Tim Kaufman and Doug Kaufman, both of Freeport; Doug’s son, Tyler; Joel’s brother, Jon (Diane), of Stockton; his in-laws and dear friends, Frank and Mary Louise Floski, of Mt. Morris; his brothers-in-law, Doug (Betsy) Floski, of Byron, and their sons, Jacob, Christian and Patrick; and Curt (Marci) Floski, of Redmond, Ore., and their children, Abi, Ben and Jack. Joel is also survived by his fellow Lions Club members and his “Romeo Boys” breakfast group. He was preceded in death by his parents, his son, Thomas, and his nephew, Steven.

Always a cheerful optimist, Joel’s wishes for a Celebration of Life will be honored on Sat. Nov. 25 at Evangelical Free Church of Lena with a Celebration of Life Service at 1 p.m.

Visitation from 10:30 a.m. until time of service. Cremation rites have been accorded; private interment will take place at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at www. leamonfh.com.

A servant to the end, one of Joel’s final requests was that memorial gifts be entrusted to Ronald McDonald House (Madison, WI) in recognition of the many kindnesses shown by that organization to his granddaughter, Sammy Jo, and her family over the last year. Memorials may also be entrusted to the Lena Lions Club or Evangelical Free Church of Lena.

Lady Wolves attack field in Dakota

By Chris Johnson REPORTER

The lineup for this week’s Dakota Turkey Tourney is impressively loaded with some recently-successful programs. The Pearl City Lady Wolves were aware of that as they made the final regular season, tip-off preparations, for some shoe-screeching action in Indians’ Country.

Pearl City got things going with the Class 1A defending Regional Champion and recent back-to-back State Champ Freeport Aquin Lady Bulldogs on Monday, Nov. 20. The Lady Bulldogs are expected to be a contender in the North again this season. They followed it up with a Tuesday, Nov. 21 meeting with 2A talent North Boone and then had to face the best from two schools when they took on the coop of River Ridge and Scales Mound on night three in Dakota.

Just to make things a little more difficult, the schedule reflects a cou-

Starting November 1, 2017, families with children age 5 and under and households with an imminent disconnect notice may also call to schedule an appointment to apply.

The household must have active service with both primary and secondary heating utilities. Households with disconnected utilities are not eligible for this assistance.

In addition to LIHEAP documents, the following documentation to show proof of home ownership is required: • Copy of real estate tax bill Or • Copy of warranty deed, contract for deed, or quit claim deed (all of these must be stamped and registered with the county clerk.

Please call 815-232-3141 or 800-883-1111 to make an appointment for assistance.

sic from Saturday, Dec. 9 through Friday, Dec. 15.

Some of the numbers seem to indicate that Pearl City will get a pretty good picture of how well things have come together for them, before they play host to the neighbors during the second and third weeks of December. They look to have some wins lined up, if things come together as they should. During the early stretch the Lady Wolves will also face teams that look really strong on paper. A couple might get away.

How they did in the early session of the season may not be a perfect indicator of how things will go by February. It could tell them how good they are though. The test being issued this week by the many championship-caliber programs in Dakota will go a long way in helping the Lady Wolves see how good they probably have to be, to shoot for titles during this recently tippedoff girls basketball season.

Lady Broncos looking for long-term success

By Chris Johnson REPORTER

Orangeville will be a team that causes a lot of headaches for defenses across the NUIC. They will be bouncing between streaks of perfect play and those of attempting to adjust to what is being thrown at them.

If the opening week of the season is any indication as to how things might go, they will be looking up for Orangevlle, but they are going to have to fight for it. It wasn’t the easy opening stretch for them.

The 2017-2018 winter campaign began in Warren. Orangeville was thrown right into trouble as they were paired against nearly 30-win, 2017 West Champion finisher, Galena.

They couldn’t stand with the Lady Pirates and they fell 58-29.

Galena was strong right from the start as they completely corralled the Lady Broncos offense during the opening minutes of play. The 15-0 first quarter lead moved across 30 by the half. The Lady Pirates weren’t as successful holding down Orangeville’s offense in the second quarter though. The Lady Broncos scored 13 points to attempt to keep pace with 17 put up against them.

Galena was overpowering in the third quarter. They scored 24 points and completely ran over the Orangeville defense. A lot of extra time was spent with development in the fourth quarter. The two teams combined for eight points total in the final quarter. Orangeville won the period with its defense. They held the Lady Pirates to two points in the frame.

The Lady Wolves will have to head out on the road on Tuesday, Nov. 28 with a bus schedule already set up. The athletes will leave district property by around 4:30 p.m.

Night two was another strong pairing as the Lady Broncos tried to slow down Milledgeville. The Lady Missiles offense improved upon what Galena had done the night before. They scored 59 points and won the match by 20, 59-39. Orangeville couldn’t catch up from the quick start Milledgeville got.

The Lady Broncos were held to five points in the opening minutes and nearly doubled it by the half. The Lady Missiles six-point first quarter edge stretched to nine at the break.

They moved in front 27-14.

Orangeville’s was stronger in the third quarter. They matched their evening’s output and kept the Lady Missiles at arms reach. After three, the visitors were in front 45-28. Orangeville scored eleven points in the fourth, but came up short 59-39.

The Lady Broncos had to deal with Durand on night three in Warren and almost came back from a double-digit deficit to capture the win. Durand won the first three periods and had an eleven-point advantage after both the second and third quarters. They were outplayed in the fourth. Orangeville fell by four, 47-43.

Warren Tournament play began to wind down with a showdown with another West Challenger. East Dubuque won 22 games last year and only lost four times all season. They will be strong and they showed Orangeville they could score.

East Dubuque had a 17 point lead after the first quarter. They were up 24-7 when the second quarter started. Orangeville would not be blown out though. The Lady Warriors were held to twelve points in the period and only added one point to its first quarter lead. The third quarter featured the two teams combining for 43 points. East Dubuque captured the seven-point edge though. The 61-42, 19-point difference would not change.

The Lady Warriors won 73-54.

Warren and Orangeville laced up on Monday to close the Thanksgiving Tip-Off Classic. The task stays daunting for Orangeville still. They face the State-ranked and very talented sister-dominated AFC Raiders at home on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN Fluffy Cran-raspberry Salad

The not so skinny cook When this paper comes out, you have shopped, the turkey is defrosting in the refrigerator, and the sides are planned. This column will be about what to do with some of those leftovers. There are a few recipes you might want to keep them for the weekend company.

The first recipe this week is for a good cranberry salad. It is easy to make with instant pudding, frozen raspberries, canned cranberry sauce and some great topping. This salad will be a favorite for you for any holiday. It would be a great Christmas salad.

LEGALS ASSUMED NAME PUBLICATION Public Notice is hereby given that on November 6, 2017, a certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Stephenson County, Illinois, setting forth the names and post-office addresses of all persons owning, conducting and transacting the business known as: Skin Haven located at 208 W.

2 C. frozen raspberries 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) Jell-O vanilla instant pudding ½ C. cranberry juice 1 can (14 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce 1 tub (8 oz.) whipped topping thawed 1½ C. miniature marshmallows Microwave the raspberries in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 1 minute or just until thawed.

Add the pudding mix and cranberry juice and stir for 2 minutes. Add the cranberry sauce, and stir until blended. Gently stir in Cool Whip and then marshmallows. Refrigerate 1 hour. You can keep for 2 days in the refrigerator.

If you have some leftover turkey, this creamy casserole is a great way to use it. The addition of the rice is a nice change from potatoes, and the vegetable makes for a complete meal. Serve it with a salad and a crusty roll.

Turkey Broccoli Rice Casserole

3 C. half-and-half 8 oz. cream cheese 4 C. cooked white rice 3 C. cooked broccoli 3 C. chopped roasted turkey Zest of lemon Salt and pepper 1 C. shredded cheddar In a large saucepan, bring halfand-half to a simmer and then whisk in cream cheese. Stir in cooked white rice, broccoli and turkey. Stir and add lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a 4-quart baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400 until bubbling, 25-30 minutes. Top with cheddar and broil until browned.

If you want to substitute the rice for noodles, this great dish will also use up that leftover turkey. Again the addition of the mixed vegetables will make a complete meal. I substitute the mixed vegetables for the broccoli, cauliflower and carrot mixture.

Creamy Turkey and Noodles

4 oz. dry wide egg noodles

5 T. unsalted butter 1 T. minced fresh thyme 1 T. minced garlic ½ C. flour 2½ C. chicken broth 1 C. half and half ½ C. dry white wine or chicken broth 1 T. fresh lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste 2 C. chopped cooked turkey 2 C. frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and patted dry Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions and drain. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Whisk in broth, half-and-half and wine until smooth. Simmer sauce until it coats the back of a spoon and leaves a trail that does not fill in, about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice to sauce and season with salt and pepper. Stir in turkey, vegetables and noodles until heated through.

The last turkey recipe is for a simple turkey sandwich with leftover cranberry sauce, turkey and stuffing.

Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich 2 T. cranberry sauce 1 T. mayonnaise 1 t. Dijon mustard Turkey slices and stuffing warm or room temperature Spread inside a split sesame Kaiser roll, the cranberry sauce that has been mixed with the mayo and Dijon.

Fill with sliced turkey and dressing.

This great dessert is really easy to make because it uses a quick bread mix as its base. The cranberry and peach combination is excellent.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Icing: Stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake. Puree reserved cranberry sauce in a blender or small food processor and serve with cake slices.

Congratulations to the Panther Football team who will be playing Saturday for a State Championship.

They have been fun to watch, and we all wish them the best. What a way to celebrate Thanksgiving. We are praying for mild weather. I remember one state championship game that was a wind chill of close to zero.

We won, so my take on that is that if you are winning, you aren’t nearly Cranberry Swirl as cold! I hope you all have a happy Coffee Cake and Thanksgiving full of blessings.

This Thanksgiving, be thankful for your seat belt

www.journalstandard.com

Thanksgiving is near, and for many that means traveling to spend the holiday with loved ones. No matter how far you’re driving for the holiday, whether it’s down the road to pick up a pumpkin pie or hundreds of miles to see a distant relative, you could be involved in a crash. If you or anyone in your vehicle is not wearing their seat belt, they are at a much greater risk of being killed.

Being a good driver isn’t an effective defense against a drunk or aggressive driver.

It is well known that Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year. More cars on the road present the potential for more crashes. More crashes lead to more fatalities. You don’t have to be one of them.

During the Thanksgiving weekend last year, 11 people were killed in crashes on Illinois roads; more than half of those occupants were not wearing their seat belts Most roadway deaths are completely preventable. Excessive speed, driving drunk or under the influence of drugs and not wearing seat belts pose a danger to your life. It’s time to act and prevent one of the nation’s biggest killers: motor vehicle crashes.

That is why FHN’s Parent Enrichment Program is joining safety advocates nationwide to spread the message about the importance of seat belts to prevent these tragedies from occurring. Many Americans know of at least one person who has been killed in a crash, but too many people still think it can’t happen to them.

This Thanksgiving, there should be no more excuses: Click It or Ticket. The FHN Parent Enrichment Program wants all drivers and passengers, front or back seat, day or night, to buckle up. If you’re traveling with children, remember that they are required to ride in a car seat or booster seat until at least age 8. Advocates recommend using these seats until children have reached the manufacturer’s posted height and weight limit, because seat belts are designed to fit adult bodies.

The FHN Parent Enrichment Program urges you to support local and state law enforcement in our efforts
