Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs sends
Stockton the main ingredient for Lemon-aid
EDITOR
It’s only been a few months since Stockton
Strong, the Stockton Chamber of Commerce,
the village and its Park Board joined together
asking the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs
for an AmeriCorps volunteer that would help
the village move forward in any number of areas involving economic development.
In response, the IIRA sent a Lemon, Johanna
Lemon that is; a grad student from Western Illinois University with considerable experience
in promoting economic progress and who possesses the drive necessary to help Stockton
succeed.
“I studied abroad while I was in college
and I really enjoyed that experience of going
abroad and learning about other cultures,” said
Lemon. “Studying abroad had like gotten my
toes wet, but what I really wanted was to jump
in feet first. I am kind of an idealist and I like
to think that people are good and all they need
is maybe a little bit of help and so I kind of
combined those two things and decided that
the Peace Corps is what I wanted to do.”
While in the Peace Corps, Lemon served
in Morocco for 27 months undergoing three
months of training and then two years of volunteer work before returning to the states to
pursue her graduate degree at Western.
“As for AmeriCorps, it is all kind of linked
because due to the fact that I served in the Peace
Corps I was able to apply for my graduate program which is one part studying at Western
Illinois University and one part AmeriCorps
internship,” she said. “So, because I was in the
Peace Corps I was able to go into a graduate
school which has AmeriCorps as a part of its
degree program. That internship is paired with
the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs, and basically IIRA has the MAPPING Program which
Stockton has gone through.
The MAPPING the Future of Your Community program is a participant driven strategic
planning initiative where local leaders and citizen volunteers create a long-range vision for
the future of their village. A MAPPING community can apply for an AmeriCorps volunteer
and then via AmeriCorps and the IIRA a volunteer is placed with the community to help
with economic development.
Stockton Strong Economic Development
Committee member Terry McGovern said they
approached the larger Stockton Strong group
and asked them to join with the village, the
Park Board, and the Chamber of Commerce
to bring Lemon here to help Stockton develop
as a small village and bring in additional businesses while retaining the businesses that it
currently has.
“It was not a particularly long or drawn out
process to bring her here,” said McGovern. “It
was a matter of going to each group and asking
them to help financially, and they all did. They
were all willing and we put together a committee made up of representatives of all these
groups to put together an outline of what we
hope she can accomplish for us.”
“At this point I am still trying to get a feel
for the Stockton community, but the Stockton
Strong group and the village as a whole has a
lot of really good ideas, so we will be implementing them and getting the ball rolling,”
Lemon said. “Thus far, I’m just working on
general cohesion between the units of government and the volunteer organizations within
Stockton; bringing people together for the sake
of the common good while trying to work out
schedules and all that.”
She said as the community begins to build
cohesion the next priorities might be in the
area of increasing volunteerism, disaster preparedness and creating more of an “online”
presence for Stockton.
“I think I would really like to work on engaging high schoolers because one of the things a
lot of colleges look for on resumes is volunteer
experience and if they want it and need it then
that is a great balance right there,” said Lemon.
“I also think that a lot of it comes down to finding people. The people are already here and
what we are discussing is that around town a
lot of people are wearing a lot of different hats
right now. So, instead of increasing people we
might want to decrease the number of hats we
wear by combining a couple projects.”
For starters Lemon is visiting area businesses and she says she if finding a lot of positive

Community partnership makes Scales Mound scoreboard possible
Through the partnership of Apple
River State Bank, Scales Mound
Recreation Association, and Scales
Mound Community Unit School District #211, the dream of a new scoreboard for the baseball/softball field at
High Point Park became a reality.
The three organizations pulled resources and manpower to purchase
a new LED scoreboard to replace
the current scoreboard. Apple River
State Bank generously donated over
$5000 towards the purchase of the
sign, Scales Mound School District
facilitated the purchase and delivery,
and Scales Mound Recreation Association provided the personnel to install
the sign. Two community members,
Ann Wienen and Josh Cocagne, were
instrumental in the purchase of the
scoreboard.
They did the research of a variety
of scoreboards, price comparisons,
secured Apple River State Bank as a
sponsor, coordinated with the school
district, and presented the proposal to
the SMRA Board. They also coordinated the installation of the sign with
the help of Jeff Wienen, Brad Werner,
Ben Werner, Denis Vondran, and Scott
Ohms provided the hard work installing the sign and setting up the electric.
Josh Cocagne, Dr. Bill Caron, Shannon Driscoll, Greg Duerr, Joel Holland, and Ann Wienen, all worked collaboratively to make the purchase of
the sign possible.

FDA issues recommendations to reduce the risk for
Zika virus blood transmission in the United States
As a safety measure against the
emerging Zika virus outbreak, today
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a new guidance recommending the deferral of individuals
from donating blood if they have
been to areas with active Zika virus
transmission, potentially have been
exposed to the virus, or have had a
confirmed Zika virus infection.
“The FDA has critical responsibilities in outbreak situations and has
been working rapidly to take important steps to respond to the emerging
Zika virus outbreak,” said Luciana
Borio, M.D., the FDA’s acting chief
scientist. “We are issuing this guidance for immediate implementation
in order to better protect the U.S.
blood supply.”
While there have been no reports
to date of Zika virus entering the
U.S. blood supply, the risk of blood
transmission is considered likely
based on the most current scientific
evidence of how Zika virus and similar viruses (flaviviruses) are spread
and recent reports of transfusionassociated infection outside of the
U.S. Furthermore, about 4 out of 5
of those infected with Zika virus do
not become symptomatic. For these
reasons, the FDA is recommending that blood establishments defer
blood donations from individuals in
accordance with the new guidance.
In areas without active Zika virus
transmission, the FDA recommends
that donors at risk for Zika virus infection be deferred for four weeks.

Southwest Health to host fourth
annual Cuba City Community Market
On Wednesday Sept. 21, the Cuba
City Community Market will feature
a health fair sponsored by Southwest
Health in addition to the more than
35 food, arts/crafts and service vendors. This is the final Cuba City market for 2016.
As one of our region’s principal health care system, Southwest Health is working to create a
healthier southwest Wisconsin. This
means they are working to reach beyond the walls of their facilities to
help, to educate, to inform, and to
inspire. So, in addition to general
information on their services, they
will have:
· A free spin the wheel game with
Registered Dietitians giving away
small prizes for correct answers to
nutrition questions
· Details on an upcoming new
series of free education sessions,
called My Healthy Live, that’s also
connected to online resources on our
website at www.southwesthealth.
org/myhealthylife
· Nurses providing free blood
pressure screenings
· Free Body Composition Analysis
· And because October is National
Walking Month, and walking is a
great way to get more active and
improve your health, Southwest
Health will offer helpful information
on how to start and maintain a walking program
As always at Cuba City’s Commu-
nity Market, Super Hits 106.1 will
be onsite doing a remote broadcast
with radio personality, Laura Lynn,
on hand dispensing great music, positive vibes and giveaways.
The new market hours are from
3:30 until 6:30 on the third Wednesday of each month, May through
September. This year’s market features an expanded range of vendors
and new family-focused activities
at each month’s market. Additional
information is available on the Cuba
City website at www.cubacity.org or
call (608) 744-2152
Individuals considered to be at risk
include: those who have had symptoms suggestive of Zika virus infection during the past four weeks,
those who have had sexual contact
with a person who has traveled to, or
resided in, an area with active Zika
virus transmission during the prior
three months, and those who have
traveled to areas with active transmission of Zika virus during the past
four weeks.
In areas with active Zika virus
transmission, the FDA recommends
that Whole Blood and blood components for transfusion be obtained
from areas of the U.S. without active transmission. Blood establishments may continue collecting and
preparing platelets and plasma if an
FDA-approved, pathogen-reduction
device is used. The guidance also
recommends blood establishments
update donor education materials
with information about Zika virus
signs and symptoms and ask potentially affected donors to refrain from
giving blood.
“Based on the best available evidence, we believe the new recommendations will help reduce the
risk of collecting blood and blood
components from donors who may
be infected with the Zika virus,”
said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Following the issuance of these
recommendations, the FDA also intends to issue a guidance that will
address appropriate donor deferral
measures for human cells, tissues,
and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), given recent reports
of sexual transmission of the virus.
In addition to protecting the nation’s blood supply, the FDA is
also prioritizing the development of
blood screening and diagnostic tests
that may be useful for identifying
the presence of the virus, preparing
to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
investigational vaccines and therapeutics that might be developed, and
reviewing technology that may help
suppress populations of the mosquitoes that can spread the virus.
The FDA, an agency within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, promotes and protects
the public health by, among other
things, assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and
veterinary drugs, vaccines and other
biological products for human use,
and medical devices. The agency
also is responsible for the safety and
security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements,
products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco
products.

VIEWPOINT
From the desk of State
Representative Brian W. Stewart
This Sunday is the fifteenth anniversary of the horrendous attacks on
our country on Sept. 11, 2001. This
day is now known as Patriot Day
and is a National Day of Service and
Remembrance for the victims. Even
though much has changed in the world
since that day let us not forget all those
lost and their families.
Now, over the past couple of weeks
I have been mulling over a topic that
has been making headlines – an NFL
quarterback has chosen to kneel for
the National Anthem instead of standing up and putting his hand on his
heart like the rest of his teammates.
Why? The man points to what he perceives to be racial injustices within the
judicial system.
I would like to address in this
week’s column simply this: what is
freedom of speech, and how does freedom of speech apply to this particular
instance?
It would be an injustice to speak on
freedom of speech without presenting
you with the original text; “Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
For the purposes of this column I
will boil it down to this: “Congress
shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.” Abridging, by the
way, is a ten dollar word for “Shortening” or “Limiting.” So, essentially the
first amendment is written to say that
Congress cannot limit an individual’s
right to say as they wish. And I can’t
think of anyone that would oppose
that.
So why are some people saying that
if you oppose someone’s actions or
speech, then you yourself are stifling
that individual’s freedom of speech? I
can think of only two reasons that people would say this: 1) That person may
have a fundamental misunderstanding
of the Constitution, or 2) That person
is trying to silence your expression
by purposely misrepresenting the text
of the Constitution. In either case, I
would like to delve further.
Over the next few paragraphs I wish
to make some points that I ask you to
consider. If you think I’m incorrect,
that’s fine! Because, guess what?
The government shall not make a law
abridging your or my right to freedom
of speech.
First, I would like to point out that
the Constitutional right to freedom of
speech applies to (and only to) repercussions from the government for your
freedom of speech. If you rail against
the government in a letter to the newspaper, you will not be punished. That
uniquely American concept holds true
for all situations involving an individual and the American government.
Second, freedom of speech does
not mean freedom from responsibility.
The Constitution does not provide for
a wall of separation between an individual’s speech and the repercussions
of said speech between private citizens. For example, if I were your employee, and I cursed you to your face
and said “I quit my job;” the Constitution does not provide for my right to
show up to work the next day and demand my job back under the guise of
my Constitutional right to free speech.
So, the government does not and
should not become entangled in the
affairs of private citizens in regards to
speech.
Third, because an individual is
responsible for his own actions, he
must expect to face the consequences.

When that same NFL quarterback decided to show up to practice wearing
socks that showed pigs wearing police uniforms (“Pigs” is a derogatory
slur for police officers), there was an
outcry from much of the country. His
freedom of speech is safeguarded – by
that I mean he isn’t in prison for expressing himself – but he still can be
held accountable for his actions. Who
can hold him accountable you might
ask? Individual fans that refuse to buy
his products; his coach who could see
to it that he sits on the bench; or team
ownership that could cut him from
the roster. Freedom of speech does
not preclude him from the repercussions of his actions, so he should be
prepared to face any of these consequences.
In summation: “Freedom of
Speech” applies only to an individual’s relationship with the government,
“Freedom of Speech” does not mean
“Freedom from Responsibilities,” and
an individual is and should be held responsible for the consequences of his
actions. Drawing from these conclusions we must logically conclude that
this NFL quarterback can be held accountable by his team and the public
at large. He is free to boycott the police, and you are free to boycott him.
No one is taking away anyone else’s
freedom.
Winston Churchill summed up everything I hold to be true on this topic
in one sentence “Some people’s idea
of (free speech) is that they are free to
say what they like, but if anyone says
anything back, that is an outrage.”
Ironically, a British politician had a
better understanding of the American
right to freedom of speech than most
American politicians do today.

Durbin urges community colleges
to assist former ITT Tech students
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)
today urged area community colleges
to reach out to and assist students impacted by the sudden closing of all
ITT Technical Institute campuses. After years of being one of the worst actors in for-profit education, ITT Tech
announced this week it would close its
campuses nationally. ITT Tech operated campuses in Arlington Heights,
Oak Brook, Orland Park, and Springfield enrolling around 750 students
with dozens more scheduled to begin
this fall. Speaking at City Colleges
of Chicago’s Malcolm X College,
Durbin pointed to community colleges as a quality, affordable alternative
to the for-profit institutions that will
be aggressively recruiting formed ITT
Tech students in the coming weeks. “The collapse of ITT Tech and the
uncertainty it has caused in the lives
of its students should give anyone
considering enrolling in a for-profit
college pause. ITT Tech is not unique
in the for-profit industry – in its predatory practices, in its poor student outcomes, in its financial instability –and
it is likely not the last major for-profit
college that will close,” Durbin said.
“I have asked Illinois community colleges to reach out to and assist ITT
Tech students, and I am pleased that
the Illinois Community College
Board has joined that call and community college presidents, like Malcolm X College’s David Sanders, are
responding. Students who have just
had the rug pulled out from under
deserve an opportunity to get a high
quality, affordable education.” “City Colleges recognizes the challenges former ITT Tech students face
with closure of their school and we are
committed to ensuring they can access
a quality, affordable college education,” said Chancellor Cheryl Hyman. “I want to commend Senator Durbin
for his continued leadership to make
sure our students are treated fairly and
are able to earn a college degree that
has value in the marketplace, without
all of the debt.”
“ITT Tech students join a growing
list of students of for-profit schools
who are left in the lurch after their
school was suddenly closed due to
fraudulent practices,” said Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. “My investigations into the for-profit schools
industry have revealed predatory recruiting practices and poor accreditation that left students struggling with
enormous debt levels and limited job
prospects in their chosen fields. The
federal government must continue to
crackdown on these schools that focus
on profits and not on their students.”

Earlier this week, the Illinois Community College Board contacted every community college president in
Illinois to address ways to assist displaced students. The Department of
Education and the American Association of Community College have also
been working to mobilize community
colleges across the country, offering
guidelines to colleges that include:
developing an outreach strategy to
connect with ITT Tech students, and
designating points of contact for ITT
Tech students to address their questions about transfer credits, financial
aid, transcripts, and more.
Students recently enrolled at ITT
Tech may be eligible for a Closed
School Discharge of their federal student loans. Others may wish to assert
a Defense to Repayment to have their
federal student loans discharged if
they believe they were defrauded or
misled. Students who wish to seek
forgiveness of their federal student
loans can visit studentaid.ed.gov/itt
for more information about eligibility
and how to apply.
ITT Tech was being investigated
by more than a dozen state Attorneys
General, including Illinois’ Lisa Madigan. The company is also being sued
by the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau for predatory lending and the
Securities and Exchange Commission
for securities fraud.
Durbin has been working for years
to protect students from the predatory
practices of the for-profit college industry. While the industry enrolls only
about 10% of all college students, they
take in 20% of the Department of Education’s federal student aid funds and
account for a disproportionate 40% of
student loan defaults.

itttech or by calling 773-COLLEGE.

INFORMATION COMPILED BY DR MIKE

After a car accident paramedics are
often the first health care professionals who attend to your needs. Their
job is to assess whether you should
be rushed to the hospital for immediate medical treatment or deal with any
life-threatening injuries right on the
scene. Fractures, concussions, lacerations and other potential internal injuries will necessitate your escorted trip
to the hospital. What if the paramedics tell you that you are not injured
enough to go the hospital, but then or
even days later you don’t feel quite
right? Let’s look at frequent problems
your musculoskeletal system often encounters after a car accident.

Some people encounter pain and
tension right away. For others, the
symptoms may get worse over time.
Whether the impact occurs from the

your neck is usually the most vulnerable area of your body in any motor

and deceleration. Your body is held
relatively still by a seat belt, whereas
your head and neck are free to move.
This typically results in the neck moving very rapidly through an excessive range of motion, contributing to
hyperflexion-hyperextension injuries
that can affect soft tissues in the neck,
as well as joint capsules and intervertebral discs. Whiplash is the name
commonly given to these types of injuries.
Symptoms from whiplash may include;
Neck pain and inflammation
Arm pain, numbness or tingling
Headaches
Nausea
Dizziness
And because of the nerves that innervate the thyroid, you may experience a weakened thyroid (which may
take 6 months to show signs or symptoms
Depending upon the degree of injury, your recommended course of
action will differ. To determine what
you should do, first consult with your
chiropractor. Chiropractors are musculoskeletal specialists. They have
know-how to assess and treat almost
any problem related to the nerves,
muscles, joints and connective tissues
of the spine. If you already have an
established relationship with a chiropractor, then you should already have
a set of x-rays to reference. A new set
of x-rays after the accident is vital to
establishing the extent of injury, and
you may need more tests such as an
MRI.
Muscles around the injured area
tend to spasm-effectively splinting the
area in an attempt to prevent further
damage. Muscle spasm can also cause
greater compression and/or irritation
of the joints, and nerves leading to
more pain and long term damage. Ice
is a good idea especially right after the
accident. Avoiding sugars in your diet
is also a great thing to do right after
the accident as well. We often recommend no bread, no pasta and no sugar
for at least a week after a major trauma
to your spine and nervous system.
Vertebral Subluxations in the neck
and upper back are commonly found
in those who experience car accidents.
Therefore, at any stage of healing and
recovery from whiplash-associated injuries, chiropractic adjustments can reduce pain and restore normal function,
especially when the cervical curve
has been lost or reduced from normal.
The unfortunate part about old injuries is the joints adapt to an abnormal
position and start to rapidly age and
break down, causing more stress to the
nerves.

Another Fall Festival has come
and gone. The weather was “iffy,”
but everything turned out to be just
fine. It really was a fall festival kind
of weekend. I didn’t win the car,
but I heard there were great crowds.
The people who work hard for this
celebration should be proud and
probably a little bit tired. We had a
drop in humidity and temperature.
This next week will be a great fall
week—my kind of weather. This
week’s columns will continue using the fruits and vegetables of the
season.
This slaw recipe uses cucumbers
instead of cabbage. The coriander
gives it just a different flavor, and
the carrots add just the right amount
of color. Enjoy slaw made a different way.
Cucumber Slaw
2 C. thinly sliced cucumbers,
peeled and seeded
¾ C (2 carrots) shredded carrots
¼ onion, very thinly sliced
2 T. sugar
1 ½ t. ground coriander
1 t. kosher salt
½ t. black pepper
¼ C. apple cider vinegar
Stir together all the ingredients in
a bowl. Chill, covered, at least 15
minutes and up to 2 hours.
The kohlrabi is really a forgotten vegetable; it is also a vegetable
which people either love or hate.
This recipe roasts the kohlrabi and
6 kohlrabi
2 T. olive oil
¾ t. kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne
3 T. parmesan
1 T. chopped parsley
Peel the kohlrabi and cut into
1-inch wedges; toss with olive
oil, salt and cayenne. Spread on
a rimmed baking sheet. Roast at
450 stirring every 10 minutes,
until tender and golden, about 30
minutes. Toss with parmesan and
parsley.
This recipe is a one-stop prep
because it has the meat and vegetables all rolled into one. If you are
not a big chiles fan, use the plain
diced tomatoes. The toppings of
avocado and cilantro are optional,
but they make for a big finish.
Beef and Summer
Squash Chili
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
12 oz. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 chile pepper, seeded and
chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T. chili powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 can (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes
with green chiles
1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, do not
drain
2 medium zucchini cut into ½
inch pieces
1 avocado diced
Cilantro for topping
Heat the olive oil in a large pot
over medium-high heat. Add the
beef and cook, breaking up the
meat, until browned, abut 3 minutes.
Add the onion, pepper and garlic.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until
the vegetables are tender and lightly
browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in
chili powder, ½ t. salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring until
combined, about 1 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and beans and
their liquid to the pot; bring to a
boil, then reduce the heat to medium
and simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
Stir the squash into the pot. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender
and the chili thickens slightly, about
10 minutes (add up to ½ cup water if
the chili is too thick.) Season with
salt. Top each serving of chili with
the avocado and some cilantro.
This bar recipe has a little bit of
something for everyone. It has three
layers (hence the trifecta reference),
and each layer adds a new dimension to the taste of the bar. The
crunch cereal topping is a great taste
to bite into. Enjoy these three-layer
bars for dessert or just an afternoon
snack.

flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in

cool completely in the pan.
Make the cereal layer: Melt the
butter in a large saucepan over
medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the
cereal. Let cool slightly. Butter
your hands and then press cereal
mixture on top of the cookie layer.
Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares.

Stockton sets state-ranked status on standby
By Chris Johnson
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
Following a 50-6 win over the
Polo Marcos on Friday, Sept. 9, the
State-ranked Stockton Blackhawks
got another push, as they begin to
carry a heavy load.
With a top ranking comes a lot
of pressure and the Blackhawks are
about to rediscover that, as week
the second-third of the football season begins. They won’t be spending too much time worrying about
it, however.
Statistics indicate that Stockton
will have to win out the remainder
of their games, in order to potentially maintain a number one position in the Class 1A polls, but that
is not something that Blackhawks
Head Coach Chris Thornton is going to spend too much time concerning himself or his team with.
The Blackhawks are 3-0 on the
season and own a share of the
NUIC Upstate lead, today. The
Aquin Bulldogs are 3-0 and hanging around. Stockton and Aquin
will have their chance to battle later
this season.
The Bulldogs offense was on
mark and easily dispatched Durand
in their Sept. 9 showdown. The
running clock began, as game play
concluded, following a first half of
action.
Stockton has to contend with
those same Bulldogs this Friday
night. However, Durand is 0-3 on
the season and the Blackhawks
seem to handle Durand fairly well.
Stockton travels to Pecatonica
for a showdown with a team that is
in search of some answers. Stockton will be heavily favored, as the
winless Indians have given up over
53 points a game, on average, this
year.
Week six features the Blackhawks closing in on locking down
a playoff ticket for the upcoming
Class 1A Tournament. They will be
favored to knock back winless Warren/Our Lady of the Sacred Heart
and claim their qualifier’s card.
By week seven, Stockton’s focus
could be shifting towards securing
a first-round home game, when the
Class 1A Tournament begins on
Friday, Oct. 28. It also produces
the next recognizable challenge
for Stockton, as they will be tak-
ing on the Milledgeville Missiles,
a team that will be looking to keep
it at 500 or better and at the same
time, hoping to keep their playoff
chances alive.
The NUIC Upstate Championship game could be decided in the
week eight game. Stockton and
Aquin take to the field on Friday,
Oct. 14 at Stockton.

and break-away scores filling the
evening with cheers.
The road will remain difficult for
Lena-Winslow, even as the secondthird of the season gets underway
this Friday night at Galena.
The Pirates are struggling. They
have limited manpower to work
with and sit with West Carroll and
Pecatonica, with an 0-3 mark at the
bottom of the pack.

In week five, another conference
test waits for the Panthers as they
prepare to take on the Dakota Indians. The 2-1 Indians were shut-out
by the top-ranked Forreston Cardinals, and sit with Amboy-LaMoille
and Lena-Winslow, a game back.
In week six, Lena-Winslow will
get its shot at the Clippers, as they
return home for a one-game stand.
On Oct. 7, as many teams in the
NUIC Northwest and Upstate are
looking to secure their position for
consideration and participation in
the 2016 post-season, the Panthers
will battle at Forreston.
Week eight sends Lena-Winslow
home where they will face one of
the teams they currently trail in the
NUIC, East Dubuque.
The regular season ends on Friday, Oct. 21 as the Panthers host
West Carroll. The post-season begins one week later and statistics
seem to indicate Lena-Winslow
will be there. It isn’t clear yet, as
to whether they will be starting the
Tournament at home or not.
Surviving the final six games of
the season with less than one loss
makes a home game highly likely
for Lena-Winslow when the playoffs open. Two losses added over
that same span may not allow a
home game to occur in week one,
but given the strength of the NUIC
Northwest this season, 6-3 still
might get it done.

On a clear, sunny late summer
day in Sept. 2001, Al Qaeda terrorists aboard three hijacked passenger planes carried out coordinated
suicide attacks against the World
Trade Center in New York City
and the Pentagon in Washington,

planes and nearly 3,000 people on
the ground. A fourth plane crashed

Presidential Proclamation -- Patriot Day and
National Day of Service and Remembrance, 2016
By the President of the United
States Of America
Fifteen years ago, nearly 3,000 innocent lives men, women, and children who had been going about their
normal routines were taken from us,
depriving families and loved ones of
a lifetime of precious moments. But
the acts of terror of Sept. 11, 2001,
sought to do more than hurt our
people and bring down buildings:
They sought to break our spirit and

destroy the enduring values that unite
us as Americans. In the years that
followed, our capacity to love and
to hope has guided us forward as we
worked to rebuild, more sound and
resilient than ever before. With the
hearts of those we lost held faithfully
in our memories, we reaffirm the unwavering optimism and everlasting
strength that brought us together in
our darkest hour, and we resolve to
give of ourselves in service to others
in that same spirit.
The pain inflicted on our Nation on
Sept. 11 was felt by people of every
race, background, and faith. Though
many young Americans have grown
up without knowing firsthand the
horrors of that day, their lives have
been shaped by it. They hear of the
many acts of service that occurred
coworkers who led others to safety,
passengers who stormed a cockpit,
and first responders who charged directly into the fire. Many Americans
did everything they could to help survivors, from volunteering their time
to donating food, clothing, and blood.
And many signed up to don our Nation’s uniform to prove to the world
that no act of terror could eclipse the
strength or character of our country.
United by a common creed, a com-
mitment to lifting up our neighbors,
and a belief that we are stronger
when we stand by one another, we
must find the courage to carry forward the legacy of those who stepped
up in our time of need. By devoting
ourselves to each other and recognizing that we are a part of something
bigger than ourselves just as heroic
patriots did on September 11 we are
paying tribute to their sacrifices. On
this National Day of Service and
Remembrance, we must ensure that
darkness is no match for the light we
shine by engaging in acts of service
and charity. I invite all Americans to
observe this day with compassionate
and selfless deeds that embody the
values that define our people, and to
visit www.Serve.gov to find opportunities to give back to their communities.
America endures in the tenacity of
our survivors, and in the dedication
of those who keep us safe. Today, we
honor all who lost their lives in the
heartbreaking attacks of Sept. 11, and
all who made the ultimate sacrifice
for our country in the years that followed. In memory of these beautiful
souls, we vow to keep moving forward. Let us have confidence in the
values that make us American, the

liberties that make us a beacon to the
world, and the unity we sustain every
year on this anniversary. Above all,
let us stand as strong as ever before
and recognize that together, there is
nothing we cannot overcome.
By a joint resolution approved
Dec. 18, 2001 (Public Law 107-89),
the Congress has designated Sept. 11
of each year as “Patriot Day,” and by
Public Law 111-13, approved April
21, 2009, the Congress has requested
the observance of Sept. 11 as an annually recognized “National Day of
Service and Remembrance.”
NOW,
THEREFORE,
I,
BARACK OBAMA, President of the
United States of America, do hereby
proclaim Sept. 11, 2016, as Patriot
Day and National Day of Service and
Remembrance. I call upon all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the United States to display the
flag of the United States at half-staff
on Patriot Day and National Day of
Service and Remembrance in honor
of the individuals who lost their lives
on Sept. 11, 2001. I invite the Governors of the United States and its
Territories and interested organizations and individuals to join in this
observance. I call upon the people
of the United States to participate in
community service in honor of those
our Nation lost, to observe this day
with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including remembrance services, and to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time to honor the innocent
victims who perished as a result of
the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand this ninth day
of Sept., in the year of our Lord two
thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-first.

Ojibwa presenter brings
Native American culture to life
Internationally-published Ojibwa
author, Kim Sigafus, returns to the
Warren Township Public Library on
Saturday, Sept. 17, at 10:30 a.m. for
a special Native American program.
Dressed in her Ojibwa regalia she’ll
be bringing several items people can
see up close and handle. She’ll be
talking about both her Ojibwa culture and the Illinois’ Native Americans who lived in the northwest
region of the state. Sigafus will be
doing a trivia game with prizes as
well as having her personally-signed
books for sale.
The author has recently released
a children’s book, The Dress. The
book deals with bullying, and how
important it is to let children know
how special they are no matter what
anyone else says about them.
The author of seven books both
fiction and non-fiction, Sigafus’
books all have a Native culture
theme. She’s won several awards for
her writing, including the Faith and
Freedom Award, The Lena D. Myers Award, and two indie publishing
awards. An accomplished speaker,
her presentation, “Native American
Culture Through Oral Traditions,
Music, and Food,” has been chosen
for inclusion on the 2016-17 Road
Scholars Speakers Bureau roster.

These folks who received so
much from the 4-H program continue to give back to it today. They
believe in the power of youth and
that all youth need to learn life
skills, after all, 4-H helped to make
them who they are today. They are
who they are, in part, to the community of caring called 4‐H that
was a part of their formative years.
This is certainly the truth in my
household as I was an active member and all three of my kids have
been active in the program. I continue to support our area youth in
the program.

New Elizabeth gallery flows into the zone
By Laurinda Woolcock-Howe
CORRESPONDENT
The love of art, and ARRT (All
River Road Talent), truly comes
together when meeting the artists
along the Northwest Illinois Scenic Art Loop. Mona Brewer is no
exception. Brewer teamed-up with
Jan Ketza, and they opened a studio together. They had their open
house for their new studio Art Zone
Studios in Elizabeth, Illinois, over
Labor Day Weekend to a great turnout of friends and fellow artists.
Brewer will tell you she does design and makes lots of clothes for
different people, “but I never create
anything I wouldn’t wear myself.”
She doesn’t have a specific technique, and her style has changed
throughout the years, but she always wants her clothes to be well
done and have a clean finish. “The
first priority is for women to feel
comfortable and be themselves,”
said Brewer. “The most important thing for me is to show the elegance and beauty of every person
who comes to me.” Brewer is also
quick to state that, “I do not want to
copy my clothes. Every single one
is different.”
People are important to Brewer,
and her goal isn’t to get compliments herself, but for her clients to
get compliments wearing her art.
Her primary focus is clothing for
women with character, and women
who aren’t afraid to look different,
but she also does clothing for children and men. Whether the women
are younger or older, smaller or
larger, she works to find the style
her client’s desire. “At this moment I prefer Funky Western Style.
Everything goes with cowboy
boots,” Brewer said.
Brewer will also tell you she
doesn’t do sizes. She doesn’t do a
one-size-fits-all, but she makes her
clothes to fit the person. Plus, a
skirt can also be worn as a top giving women options. She also does
alterations.
Brewer started her “adventure
with clothes”, as she puts it, when
she was still in high school. Her
high school teacher, Cecilia Wryk,
was her mentor, “but I never had
inspiration from just one source. I
always looked around and silently
designed personal styles for people,” said Brewer. She wanted to
be an artist and doing something
she loved. When Brewer was 20,
she opened her first studio and custom made wedding and evening
dresses which paid for her college.
She went on the graduate from Tailoring and Fashion Design School
in Poland, where she is from. Her
education diverted her somewhat,
however. Brewer went on to get a
Master of Business at the Univer-
sity of Economy in Krakow and
became a business professional.
She kept making clothes for herself
and her friends on the side. Mona
Bara Club by Mona Brewer was
established in 1999 in Chicago, Illinois. Brewer was making clothes
for children’s boutiques in the
Chicago Suburbs. It wasn’t until
after she graduated from Stratford
Institute in Washington DC, where
she received her Interior Decorator diploma that she became more
focused on window treatments and
making clothes for specific individuals.
Art Zone Studios was started
with her friend and fellow artist,
Jan Ketza, to blend their talents.
“Her beautiful paintings and unique
jewelry blend very well with my
clothing. Jan’s jewelry inspires
me.” Brewer also added that Mona
Bara Club at Art Zone Studios isn’t
just a studio. It is a place where
people can come and learn how to
express themselves. Brewer wants
to help people find their own styles
because, “if you feel comfortable
in your skin, you are happier and
more productive.”
