By: Jill Pertler Life isn’t easy. And the epitome of that, perhaps, might be parenting. (Okay, maybe the epitome is death, but let’s take a week away from that topic, shall we?) In regards to parenting being difficult: stop the judgmental comments already. I know what you’re thinking. People who dare say anything negative about parenting don’t deserve to be parents. I beg to differ. Parenting is a gift. It is wonderful. It is one of the very best things that has happened (so far) in my life. F...

By Bryan Golden What exactly is luck? Why do some people appear to be luckier than others? Is luck a question of chance, fate, or are there things you can do to improve your luck? Actually, being lucky isn't just a matter of luck at all. Luck is a combination of attitude, mental orientation, preparation, and opportunity. Typically, lucky people have an approach of possibility whereas unlucky people have a mindset of impossibility. Those with consistent bad luck expect to have bad luck. They advertise their expectations with statements such as,...

Pollinators are important to the global food supply and local ecosystems. About 35% of food crops rely on pollinators for production, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Meaning, without pollinators, there would be no food. If you have enjoyed an apple this fall or a tomato this summer, thank a bee. Honeybees are the most recognized pollinators, but insects like moths, butterflies, wasps, beetles, and flies are also frequent pollinators. There are many species of native bees in Ill. that are important to the ecosystem. Global...

By Tom Emery No high school football game was ever quite like this one. A century later, the thought of it still boggles the mind, and captures the imagination. Nov. 24, marks 100 years since Staunton beat Gillespie 233-0, setting multiple state scoring records that still stand. The outcome of the game attracted national attention and set southern Macoupin County buzzing, even overshadowing an NFL exhibition game in the area a few days later. Oddly, there is debate now about some of the basic aspects of the game. But a century later, the towns...
