Illinois State Police (ISP) District 16 is partnering with local, state and federal agencies to promote vehicle and pedestrian safety around railroad tracks and trains during Rail Safety Week, Sept. 24-30.

To promote rail safety awareness and education, Illinois State Police District 16 has planned enforcement details throughout the week at various railroad grade crossings. Drivers and pedestrians who disobey the laws associated with railroad grade crossings and railroad property will be cited.

In addition, police officers will be distributing literature to the public that contains information on how to be safe around trains and train tracks.

ISP Lieutenant Carl Heintz asks for your increased awareness.

“Everyone who drives, cycles or walks near railways must always be alert to the presence of rail traffic,” Heintz stated. “Also, be mindful that buses, as well as trucks hauling hazardous materials, must stop at crossings regardless of the presence of trains. You’ve got to respect the amount of energy involved and heed all signs and signals. Don’t add unnecessary risks.”

When crossing railroad tracks, motorists must always obey the law and be aware of your surroundings. Please remember, it against the law to stop your vehicle on the railroad tracks and anywhere within the highway-rail grade crossing.

Highway-rail grade crossings are typically marked by white stop lines located on the pavement in advance of the crossing, and if not marked by white stop lines, the highway-rail grade crossing extends from protective gate arm to protective gate arm.

According to Illinois Operation Lifesaver, more than 67 percent of all rail-related collisions occur at crossings with active warning devices (flashing lights, gates, and ringing bells).

LISTEN near a natural gas appliance or line; there may be a hissing or roaring sound when natural gas is leaking.

SMELL the distinctive, rotten egg odor associated with natural gas. Natural gas is colorless and odorless so we add an odorant with this scent for easy detection. You should take action any time you detect even a small amount of this odor in the air.

AVOID touching anything that may cause a spark. This includes starting a car engine or using cell phones, lighters, matches, cigarettes, light switches or landlines.

Natural gas is non-toxic, lighter than air and displaces oxygen. Keep away from ignition sources because natural gas can burn near a spark, possibly causing a fire or explosion. In severe cases, if not used properly, it can also lead to asphyxiation.

LEAVE the area IMMEDIATELY if you detect a natural gas leak. Don’t try to identify the source or stop the leak.

CALL Nicor Gas at 888.Nicor4U(642.6748) or 911 once you are safely away from the possible leak site. Stay away from the area until an Nicor Gas representative or emergency personnel indicate it is safe to return.

Note: Always leave if you suspect a leak. Do not solely rely on sense of smell. Be aware that some persons may not be able to detect the odorant because they have a diminished sense of smell, olfactory fatigue, or because the odor is being masked by other odors in the area. Certain conditions may cause the odorant to diminish so that it is not detectable.

Slices of life

In my opinion

Baking from scratch isn’t that hard after all

The other day I found myself in a quandary. I was in need of cupcakes, but the pantry was without a box of cake mix. I didn’t want to go to the store so was left with but one option: to bake from scratch.

I’m not a baker. Mostly because I lack a penchant for measuring and exact oven temperatures. But when your kid needs cupcakes, you deliver cupcakes – in this case, from scratch.

I didn’t think much of it.

Until a few days later when I related the experience to a few friends.

They all had the same reaction: disbelief and shock. “I’d never bake from scratch,” they said. “Too risky.”

I got the same response from my family a week later when we ran out of pancake mix. They assumed being out of pancake mix meant we couldn’t make pancakes. Ha! There’s a Google solution for that.

I stirred together some flour, eggs and assorted baking sodas and powders and flipped out a batch of from scratch flapjacks. My family was impressed with my culinary magic.

By

JILL PERTLER Contributor

Who’d have ever thought you could make pancakes without a mix?

The kitchen – and food – can be mysterious and complex. Daunting even. And we are busy. Let’s not forget that. Convenience foods and mixes make our complex and hectic lives easier. I’m all about making life convenient and my freezer always contains some sort of premade waffles and pizza.

But in a pinch, I’ve found that going back to the basics isn’t really that hard, and we shouldn’t forget that making things the old-fashioned way is doable. Many things in life seem mysterious and complex, until you understand them. Then they become simply a few ingredients waiting for you to mix together in a bowl.

You don’t have to stop with pancakes. There are other typically premade food items you can create at home from scratch without scratching your head in frustration because they are really, truly easy to do.

Whipped cream made at home is so much better than the stuff in the plastic bowl or metal pressurized thingy. The ingredient list is short.

Cream. Powdered sugar. And air, which you whip in with a hand or electric beater.

It takes just a few minutes. Any longer and you’ll have butter. (Which you can also make at home.) If you want a magnificent versus a great outcome you can add a dash of vanilla (to the whipped cream, not the butter).

Why buy the cool or ready stuff when you can have real?

If you’re feeling the love, you might want to try making yogurt. It’s made with milk and a small amount of yogurt containing active cultures.

Temperature and time are key, so if you’re interested you’ll want to get

the details through the Google.

Cheesecake is cream cheese (or the lower fat stuff), eggs and sugar.

For every block of cheese (usually about four for an entire cheesecake), use one egg and a quarter cup sugar.

You can add vanilla if you are feeling generous. After that, get inventive and add other flavors and ingredients – chocolate, berries, etc. Use whatever you like for the crust. Graham crackers are popular, but almost any cookie will do.

That’s about all I have room for, but I could go on about mozzarella cheese, ice cream, corn dogs, chicken soup and so on.

Cooking from scratch: it’s like having a magic science lab – right in your own kitchen. And the best part is you get to eat the results.

The golden age of television is having a resurgence

According to Wikipedia (the great container of internet information), the “golden age of television” was the decade of live television from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. I have no idea if that is true (and opinions and labels are all relative anyway), but I think a new golden age of television is upon us.

When I was a kid, we had three or four channels (and no remote). Then all the cable channels were born and TV, for me, became a vast wasteland of not much of substance to watch. There was much to choose from but nothing that really interested me. (And when I was a kid, I was devoted to The Brady Bunch so perhaps I am not qualified to be such a TV snob now.)

My hubby and I gave up TV a few years ago and didn’t miss it. Movies were enough and DVDs/downloads of certain shows sufficed. But in recent years, the advent of Netflix shows and Amazon and Hulu originals (plus good old broadcast channel shows) have my interest piqued. I am a TV lover again.

I am not alone. Did you catch the recent Emmys? A lot of “big name movie stars” were up for Emmys, people who we are used to seeing walk the red carpet for their movie premieres and at the Oscars. Nominated for a television Emmy this year included Robert De Niro, Anthony Hopkins, Stanley Tucci, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Ewan MacGregor, Kevin Spacey, Viola Davis, Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Geoffrey Rush, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michelle Pfeiffer, Laura Dern, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin.

Viola, Robert, Jane, Anthony, Nicole, Jessica, Geoffrey, Susan, Kevin, and Reese have all won Oscars for their movie roles. Others in the list may have had nominations as well. Whatever used to be the bar for star power has flip flopped.

TV is cool again.

The “big league” used to be feature films. One would get their start on television, even daytime television (yay for soap operas!), and then try to break into the movies. Someone really “made it” if they got a movie role.

Success is a fickle thing perhaps but seeing the creativity and storytelling (and downright entertainment) that exists on television today is invigorating.

Watching the Emmys clued me in to shows that I want to check out.

That is the beauty of TV these days too. We have 24/7 access. And we don’t have to watch commercials. (And because I rarely see commercials, I am mesmerized by them.)

With all the new ways to watch television, I have no idea how they do ratings or views. All I know is that there is stuff to watch again. There are shows on network TV that interest me and all the new outlets as well.

I read an article that the actors, producers, writers, etc. are excited about this age of television. It’s not about creating a show that will lead in to the nightly news. It’s about creativity. Joe Lewis, head of original programming at Amazon Studios said, “Our job is to make the greatest TV shows on the planet.”

Excellent. Bring it on. Entertain me, educate me, inform me. Make me laugh, make me think. And thank you for making me want to watch television again.

Maybe even an old rerun of The Brady Bunch.

One way we can help each other get through these challenging times is to keep our dollars local.

Here are three good reasons.

Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Reason #2: When you spend your money locally, you support the businesses whose property taxes pay for our municipal services.

Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are supported and sponsored by local businesses and if we don’t support them, they can’t support our kids.
