DRY NEEDLING NOW OFFERED AT MEMORIAL MEDICAL CLINIC ON LOCUST STREET
Carthage, IL – Monday, January 24, 2022 – Memorial Medical Clinic, located at 630 Locust Street in Carthage, is excited to provide a new service. Dry Needling is now offered by Katie Ruebush, PT, DPT. Dry Needling is a technique used to decrease pain, increase range of motion, and improve muscle function. Ruebush was trained in Dry Needling through Evidence In Motion for Level I and Level II Functional Dry Needling, which consisted of 54 hours of additional education to obtain optimal experience and skill in the practice.
During a Dry Needling session, a small, sterile filament needle is inserted into the muscle or connective tissue in order to release trigger points. These trigger points are taut, banded tissue that causes dysfunction. Dry Needling increases blood flow and causes a change in chemicals in that area by creating a pro-inflammatory response. When experiencing Dry Needling, patients can expect to feel an ache when the trigger point is reached.
Ruebush states, “I’m excited to offer this service because the results I’m seeing are phenomenal. Clients are reporting and demonstrating significant improvements. It’s exciting to offer effective pain relief treatments because so many people live with chronic pain. Especially when coupled with other physical therapy techniques, patients experience significant improvements in symptoms. Helping people avoid surgery or avoid taking pain medication is incredibly rewarding.”
Dry Needling is effective in loosening stiff muscles, easing joint pain, improving blood flow, and increasing oxygen circulation within the body. Individuals who are experiencing chronic pain, working to optimize sports performance, recovering from an injury, or who are desiring to prevent pain from becoming chronic could likely benefit from Dry Needling.
To learn more about Dry Needling or to schedule an appointment, Call Memorial Medical Clinic on Locust Street at (217) 357-6560.

CARTHAGE, IL ~ The Carthage Elementary School District #317 Board of Education conducted interviews to fill a vacant board position, and Dillon Darbyshire was appointed at the January 2022 school board meeting. “The Board of Education is looking forward to working with Mr. Darbyshire, and we are glad to have a full team now seated,” stated Amy Graham, board secretary.

Darbyshire has been involved in the community through his church council and youth sports as a

He is currently a manager for Chem Gro, Inc. in LaHarpe, which has allowed him to get to know many people in the area. “It is an honor to be appointed and trusted to sit on the Board of Education. We face many tough decisions and controversial issues that are present now, and there will be more to come. I want to encourage more people to get involved with local organizations and work together to build the community we want to leave to the generations to come. That is what ultimately drove me to get involved.” Darbyshire will serve until the next school board election on April 4, 2023.

Carthage Library Receives Land for New Building
Carthage Public Library District now officially owns the site where the new library building will be constructed. The property, at First and Center Streets on the northwest corner of the Carthage Veterinary Service campus in Carthage, was donated to the library by Prairieland Investment Group, LLC. The legal process to transfer the property and record the deed was completed on December 6, 2021. The land transfer was announced to the public at a press conference on January 19, 2022.
Doug Groth, DVM, and Bill Hollis, DVM, of Prairieland Investment Group presented Library Board President John Dittmer with a copy of the deed. In return, the library presented them with a certificate of appreciation which represents a plaque which will be displayed in the new library.
This land transfer is an important step toward the goal of a new library building. Carthage Public Library District applied for a Public Library Construction Act Grant of almost $1.259 million through the State of Illinois. The passage of a bond issue in April 2021 provided the library’s local cost share and secured the grant funds.
Since their original architect retired and closed his firm, the library has been working with StudioGC based in Chicago to refine the original plans and ensure compliance with all of the various building codes and zoning requirements. They are currently working on details such as the color of the exterior brick, the type of windows and doors, the HVAC systems, the color of carpeting and other flooring, the number and placement of electrical outlets and data ports, and a myriad of other decisions. The board hopes the project can go out to bid in February so that groundbreaking may take place this spring.
The Carthage Public Library District Board of Trustees and staff appreciate the community’s support, which is an integral part of the project. In addition to the donation of the land, the library has received generous monetary donations. Current fundraising efforts are focused on raising money for shelving and furnishings. The engraved brick and paver fundraiser continues. Donations of any size are always appreciated. Checks should be made out to the Carthage District Library Foundation, or on-line donations may be made through their website: https://www.carthagepubliclibrary.com/library-foundation.html.

EARN A CRISIS COUNSELING CERTIFICATE FROM VICTIM SERVICES
(Macomb, Illinois, January 19, 2022) – Anyone who wants to provide crisis counseling to survivors of abuse in the State of Illinois can earn a Crisis Intervention Training certificate by taking a course taught by Victim Services. The non-credit course, called Crisis Intervention Training, will cover these important topics: the types of domestic and sexual abuse; creating a safety plan; working with child survivors; developing your listening skills; the cycle of violence; and other relevant subjects to help survivors of all ages and backgrounds.
The certificate is effective for life, and can open doors for people who want to work at an Illinois sexual assault crisis center and/or domestic violence agency or shelter. Those who pass the course will be invited to become a crisis hotline volunteer with Victim Services, but it is not required.
“Some people who enroll are doing it only for professional development or to be better prepared to help their employees, friends, or family members when they disclose that they were abused,” said Victim Services Public Relations Manager Jamie Roth. “This course is also helpful for college students who are studying law enforcement, counseling, social work, or psychology.”
Per requirements by the State of Illinois, all crisis volunteers must complete special training before they will be allowed to assist survivors. This one-time, one-semester course covers all of the needed materials for volunteers to meet the State of Illinois requirements.
The 2022 spring semester class will meet in-person on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 5:00 – 9:00 p.m., unless other arrangements have been made by the instructor. All attendees must wear a facial covering. The first class will be held on Tuesday, February 15, 2022. The location of Victim Services is kept confidential out of concern for the safety of counselors and their clients. Therefore, classes will be held at the main WIRC-CAA office, 133 West Jackson Street, Macomb, Illinois.
The Crisis Intervention Training course is free for students ages 18 and up and $100 for working professionals. Working professionals are considered to be community members who are not actively enrolled in high school or college as a student. Payment can be made by cash or check to Victim Services during the first meeting.
The spring registration deadline is 4:00 p.m., Friday, February 11, 2022. To register, call the Victim Services business line at 309-837-6622 or email victimservices@wirpc.org.
Victim Services provides free and confidential counseling, medical advocacy, and legal advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and/or stalking in western Illinois. The nonprofit agency also provides free counseling to friends and family members of survivors.
If you have experienced or witnessed abuse at any point in your life, Victim Services’ free and confidential crisis hotline is available 24/7 at (309) 837-5555.

Carthage, IL – Tuesday, January 18, 2022 – Memorial Hospital’s Annual Employee Wellness Program seeks to provide resources and engagement that benefit the health of all Memorial Hospital, Memorial Medical Clinics, and Hancock Village staff members. In 2021, Memorial Hospital invested over $20,000 to provide staff with mental, physical, and emotional health resources and outreach.
Memorial Hospital’s Executive Director of Community Health and Wellness, and Employee Wellness Program Director, Ashlyn Housewright, states, “The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wear on our staff, both physically and mentally. As a wellness committee, we knew that in 2021, we needed to expand and offer even more through the wellness program to support our team.”
Therefore, the Wellness Program increased cash payouts for staff members who participated in wellness challenges. These challenges include “Destination Fit” walking programs, participation in fitness classes, mental health outreach, nutritional education and challenges, and more. Employees also had the opportunity to be rewarded for attending physician appointments and completing complementary lab tests that screened for lipid and A1C level abnormalities. By participating in the outreach offered, each team member had the opportunity to collect up to $110 at the end of the year, as well as benefit from a variety of other prizes, incentives, and giveaways.
Housewright stated, “This program not only addresses and improves the health of our team but also provides much-needed morale boosts throughout the year, as our team participates in and looks forward to each challenge and prize drawing.”
In addition to cash rewards, the wellness committee also purchased requested items for Memorial Hospital, Memorial Medical Clinic, and Hancock Village. These items include: therapeutic chair massagers, desk foot peddlers, stand-up desks, air popcorn makers, self-care items, take and bake meals, and more.
Memorial Hospital is incredibly proud to offer this substantial and vast program to support its team and looks forward to improving and expanding the Wellness Program even more in 2022.

HOUSE STRUCK BY GUN FIRE IN FORT MADISON
On January 17th at 8:38 PM, a 911 call was received from an occupant in the 2800 block of Avenue K stating that shots were fired into his house. Investigating officers observed damage to a second story window and recovered four shell casings from the roadway. The residence was occupied at the time, but no one was in the adjacent upstairs bedroom, and no injuries resulted.
The neighborhood was canvassed, yielding additional video evidence of the crime. It is believed that the incident was intended as a threat directed toward a resident, who was not home at the time, and not a random act. Officers are currently following up on investigative leads.

VICTIM SERVICES CONDEMNS GUILTY VERDICT REVERSAL
IN ADAMS COUNTY SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE
(Macomb, Illinois, January 13, 2022) – Victim Services counselors and advocates were horrified and saddened by the recent reversal of a guilty verdict in a sexual assault case by an Adams County judge.
The perpetrator, who was 17 years old at the time of the crime, was initially found guilty of one count of criminal sexual assault of a teenage girl while she was unconscious at a graduation party. The survivor says the perpetrator placed a pillow over her head during the assault. She regained consciousness and told him to stop, but he continued. Eventually, the survivor was able to push the perpetrator off of her and escape.
In an unusual and shocking turn, the judge reversed the decision to not guilty. The judge says the perpetrator had already served five months in jail and that the mandated sentence of four years in prison was not justifiable for the situation. Instead, he blamed the parents who hosted the graduation party for not being responsible hosts and providing alcohol to teenagers.
Survivors struggle with coming forward because they worry they will not be believed and/or they will be blamed for what happened to them. By reversing the guilty verdict in this case, the judge is blaming the victim and discouraging survivors from coming forward.
Consent CANNOT be given when a person is UNCONSCIOUS.
The way that a person is DRESSED, or whether or not they have been DRINKING, is NOT an open invitation for sex.
If consent was given in the past, it is not valid for any other time except that moment; prior consent does NOT obligate the person to give consent throughout the relationship.
Victim Services wants to reassure survivors that this type of verdict reversal is unusual, and that speaking with a counselor can help you feel empowered on your healing journey. Sexual assault is a traumatic crime and can have lifelong mental and physical health impacts on survivors. Speaking up and telling your story takes courage.
Victim Services provides free and confidential counseling, medical advocacy, and legal advocacy to survivors of sexual violence in Hancock, Henderson, Fulton, Knox, McDonough, Warren counties in Illinois. The nonprofit agency also provides free counseling to friends and family members of survivors who witnessed the abuse themselves.
When you call the Victim Services crisis hotline, staff pledge to believe you and listen to your story. You have the right to be heard, to get help, and to be treated with respect.
We will LISTEN to your story! We will SUPPORT YOU! We will SPEAK UP on your behalf in court! We will never stop SPREADING AWARENESS!
How can you be an ally to survivors? Being an ally means supporting survivors, in whatever capacity you can, during their healing journey. When someone tells you they were sexually assaulted, the best response is, “I believe you”. Listen to their story, and ask them how you can help. Let them know about the free resources available to them, like those provided by Victim Services.
If you have experienced or witnessed abuse at any point in your life, Victim Services’ free and confidential crisis hotline is available 24/7 at (309) 837-5555.

(Macomb, Illinois, January 7, 2022) – Since 1983, Western Illinois Regional Council-Community Action Agency
(WIRC-CAA) has offered the Project Santa program to help local people in need during the holiday season. The mission of this social service program is to provide a happy holiday full of gifts, food, and clothing to children of income-eligible families in need living in the western Illinois counties of Hancock, Henderson, McDonough, and Warren. Thanks to the generosity of community members, volunteers, organizations, and fundraisers, the 2021 WIRC-CAA Project Santa program was able to help 535 children. Of those children, 489 were officially enrolled in the program and 46 were assisted by Project Santa in a limited capacity.
“The children enrolled in this program often need things that many people take for granted, like their own blanket or comforter, shoes that fit, winter coats, or food during the holiday break from school,” said Project Santa Coordinator Jamie Roth. “Project Santa gives toys to each child that is enrolled so they can enjoy being a kid, but we also give them items like food, coats, and shoes so they have a sense of security and comfort.”
The enrollment period for this program typically starts in mid-September. Application information is sent to local public schools, posted online, and shared with local media outlets. This year, Project Santa saw an increased number of applications, most likely due to many families being financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
An average of $100 is spent on each child officially enrolled in Project Santa, and each family receives a holiday meal to prepare at home. The meal typically includes items like a canned ham, canned vegetables and fruit, potatoes, dinner rolls, and holiday treats like hot chocolate and candy canes. Families who otherwise would have qualified but applied past the enrollment deadline, which is typically in mid-October, are put on the Project Santa Waiting List. WIRC-CAA gives Waiting List families assorted age-appropriate toys that have been donated to the program by the public.
WIRC-CAA Project Santa employees and volunteers, referred to as elves, spend several days shopping for items requested on each child’s wish list. Parents list each child’s age, clothing, shoe and coat sizes, and suggestions for
toys or gifts. Roth says it is not uncommon for basic necessities like blankets, pillows, and coats to be listed. “In those cases, we do everything we can to get those items for them, because they may otherwise go the winter season without them.”
Families must meet the following eligibility guidelines in order to qualify for Project Santa: they live in Hancock, Henderson, McDonough or Warren County; they are not enrolled in a similar holiday program offered by another social service agency; they have not been enrolled in Project Santa in the past two years; and their household’s total income is within the program’s income guidelines. For 2021, each family’s income could not exceed 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. For example, a two-person household’s gross income could not exceed $2,903 per month.
Funding is partially provided by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The remainder of Project Santa funding comes from donations.
“Project Santa relies heavily on monetary donations from the public, and that affects the number of children we are able to assist each year,” said Roth. “Thankfully, we received generous monetary gifts and donations of toys to the program in 2021. Without our amazing donors and supporters, we would not be able to help so many children. On behalf of WIRC-CAA, I want to say thank you to everyone who helped us accomplish our mission.”
The application period for the 2021 Project Santa program has closed, and the 2022 program will begin accepting applications in late-September.
WIRC-CAA, based in Macomb, Illinois, offers a variety of social service programs to help anyone in need, including a food pantry, clothing center, energy assistance program, scholarships, and more. For more information about their free and confidential programs, call WIRC-CAA at 309-837-2997, find them on social media, or visit https://wirpc.org/.
