BURCHAM: Mental Health First Aid increasing awareness

Nearly one in five adults live with a mental illness. Many of those who struggle with a mental health challenge do not seek help for a variety of reasons. I have been trained since 2021 to be a facilitator for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), which is a training for participants to learn how to help someone experiencing mental health difficulties. It teaches a five-step process that includes communications skills and offering resources to encourage help-seeking. Multiple research studies have […]

Cost-effective ways to beat the summer heat

In the Midwest, the summer months can bring the heat. Many people look forward to this season for a variety of reasons like possible vacations or camping, baseball season (for local kids and professional teams), and fun summer activities like gardening, swimming, and biking. The part of the season that may be challenging is beating the heat, especially when budgets are already tight and energy costs may be rising to keep your home cool. Illinois Extension Educator Jamie Mahlandt wrote […]

How the final few months of the Biden administration could be his most effective

Following Joe Biden’s July 21 withdrawal from a seemingly doomed re-election campaign, Democrats instantly re-focused on picking/backing a new candidate (at the moment, vice-president Kamala Harris seems well on her way to nailing the nomination down), while Republicans took up the cry “if he’s unable to run, he’s unable to serve, and should resign or be removed.” I’m not seeing much speculation — yet — from either camp on the equally interesting subject of what Joe Biden’s final six months in […]

QUINN MINUTE: My return to fashion

All my life, I’ve found it hard to resist a good bargain. So, the pandemic a few years ago briefly curtailed my excellent purchasing decisions. I was always out in the stores, shopping for the latest in exercise equipment, self-help videos, or ideas to impress my supervisors. I liked the clothes. At work, I usually wore nice khakis and a golf shirt that made me look semi-cool. I shopped both in-store and online. Truth is, I wanted to look better […]

EDITORIAL: Pay no attention to the Dementia Dinosaurs

An opinion piece written by our summer correspondent Jacob Hamm in the closing moments of the spring 2024 semester in the Daily Eastern News has been on my mind for a while. But it's not in my mind for any reason that he or anyone else may be thinking. In fact, five of the six candidates running for President are old as hell, hence my nickname for them: the Dementia Dinosaurs. Sure, while the Democratic and Republican primaries have pretty […]

EDITORIAL: The Illinois primary is a sham

The local primaries in Montgomery County are an even bigger sham

I initially had it all planned to have this published yesterday, but a Letter to the Editor sent to local (Montgomery County, Illinois) newspapers two weeks ago was never published. So I am publishing it here. This week, Montgomery County voters and the people of Illinois will vote in the primary to determine who will be on the ballot in November. However, the people of this fine county should know that Republicans have intentionally censored the ballot by not allowing […]

BULLOCK: Thanks a thousand

In his famous Thanks a Thousand project, author A.J. Jacobs takes on a simple yet daunting task: thanking every individual who played a role in making a single cup of coffee. The project took months to complete, sending Jacobs across the globe to thank more than 1,000 people for making his morning ritual possible. The results of this project are a testament to our interconnected world, one that relies on skills, talents, and knowledge that are too often taken for […]

Gluten-free, no sugar, low fat……Thanksgiving?

I saw this article written by Extension Educator Mary Liz Wright for the Live Well, Eat Well Blog, and I thought it was so interesting to see how our traditional holiday meal has changed over the years. Mary Liz says:  Gluten-free, low sugar, no fat---doesn’t that sound like a yummy Thanksgiving dinner?  We could be describing a trend in modern dieting, however, what we are talking about is the first Thanksgiving. When coloring hand-traced turkeys and making paper bag vests […]

GUEBERT: Lawmakers must find a bipartisan way forward

For many years, I have heard that agriculture policy is one of the few areas in Springfield and in Washington, D.C., that is truly bipartisan. Members of both political parties recognize the need for good farm and food policy. It is my hope this continues, but I am increasingly disappointed by the lack of civility and level of disrespect occurring in today’s politics. I’m concerned that party leadership, on both sides of the aisle, is forcing lawmakers to vote exclusively […]
