Boone County Shopper - Belvidere, Illinois - September 10, 2020
FAQ General Election 2020 From the Office of the Boone County Clerk 1. How can a REGISTERED voter vote? You can vote by mail, early vote in the Boone County Clerk’s office, or vote at your polling location on November 3, 2020. You must be registered to vote. 2. How do I know if I’m registered to vote? You can go to https:// boonecountyilclerk.com or https://www.elections.il.gov/. You can also call the Boone County Clerk’s office at (815) 544-3103. 3. How do I register to vote? You can register online at https://ova.elections.il.gov or print the registration form at home and mail in to the Boone County Clerk’s office: https://www.elections.il.gov/Downloads/VotingAndRegistrationSystems/ PDF/R-19.pdf or you can register in person at the Boone County Clerk’s office, 1212 Logan Ave, Belvidere, IL 61008 4. How do I vote by mail? You complete the application for a vote by mail ballot, sign and return to the Boone Count Clerk’s office. If you have voted in one of the last three elections, you should have received an application in the mail. You can also request one online at https://il-boone.ballotrequest.net/. You can print an application from our website as well: https://www.boonecountyil.org/sites/default/ files/images/Vote%20by%20Mail%20App%20NOV%202020(2).pdf 5. Are Absentee Voting and Vote by Mail the same thing? Essentially YES, both are casting a vote by mail. In Illinois, absentee voting was available if you were going to be “absent” on Election Day. A voter used to have to provide a reason for being absent. Illinois legislators took away the requirement to be “absent”, allowing any voter any reason to vote by mail. 6. Do I have to mail my voted ballot back to the County Clerk’s office? No, you may also walk it into the office. If you want someone else to deliver it for you, both you and the person who is delivering your ballot must sign the affidavit giving them permission. 7. What is the deadline for requesting a ballot by mail? October 29, 2020 at noon is the deadline for requesting a vote by mail ballot to be mailed to a voter. HOWEVER, please use good judgement and do not wait until the last minute. It is wise to request and mail your voted ballot back as soon as possible. 8. When do I have to have my voted ballot back to the County Clerk’s office to be counted? It must be postmarked no later than Election Day. Do not wait until 5PM on Election Day to be postmarked in time. 9. Can I still early vote or vote at my polling location? YES!! Early voting is in the Boone County Clerk’s office beginning September 24, 2020. Please wear a mask and be prepared to stand in line. You can get information about your polling location at https://boonecountyilclerk.com 10. Can I vote by mail and at my polling location? NO!! You only get to vote once. If you’ve requested a ballot by mail, you must turn that in UNVOTED if you decide to vote at your polling location.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people live. One readily felt effect was spending more time at home. Vehicles sat idle in driveways & even some automotive insurance providers reduced rates because people were driving much less. Even with stay-at-home measures in place, people still need to leave their homes to stock up on essentials, such as food or medicine. In other cases, people may have been essential workers who drive for a living, including delivery drivers or health care personnel who were incapable of working from home. Any time a person goes out in public, he or she runs the risk of contracting viruses. Bacteria & germs may reside on various surfaces, including those inside vehicles. People want to protect themselves & now are more aware of the importance of frequently cleaning & sanitizing their cars. Keeping a vehicle safe to drive without affecting its upholstery or electronic components is paramount. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention makes a distinction between cleaning & disinfecting. Cleaning refers to the removal of germs, dirt & impurities from surfaces. It does not kill germs, but can lower their numbers. Disinfecting refers to using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. The following are some ways to deeply clean & sanitize a car. • Wash hands. First & foremost, it is crucial to wash your hands before & after using the car. This can reduce the likelihood of growing ill because of transferred viruses or bacteria. • Use rubbing alcohol. Solutions that contain 70% alcohol are effective against many viruses & bacteria, including coronaviruses, says the CDC. Furthermore, Jeff Stout, Executive Director of Global Innovation at Yanfeng Automotive Interiors, says that, for the most part, nearly every interior surface of a vehicle can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Plastic to painted chrome to imitation leather have been tested to ensure they don’t degrade when exposed to pure isopropyl alcohol.

• Avoid bleach or hydrogen peroxide. While bleach & peroxide are very effective cleaners & sanitizers, they are likely to damage a car’s upholstery, according to Consumer Reports. • Use soap & water: Experts say that vigorous washing with a soap-and-water solution can be effective against many contaminants because it breaks down the protective envelope that surrounds coronaviruses & other germs to disarm them. Friction also can help to break down germ cells during cleaning. “You want to do the best with what you have, so even soap & water can chip away at the risk,” says Stephen Thomas, M.D., Chief of Infectious Diseases & Director of Global Health at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY. • Address frequently touched surfaces. Pay attention to the steering wheel, door handles, buttons, touchscreen displays, shift lever, & more when sanitizing. Each of these items can harbor germs. Deep-cleaning a vehicle has become a necessity since COVID-19 emerged. Frequently cleaning & sanitizing can help make vehicles safer to operate.

Looking At Things From Jesus’ Perspective Submitted By Diann Anderson of Anderson Funeral & Cremation Services
What can’t be used unless it’s broken? The answer of course, is an egg. A simple egg holds such profound truth!
Affordable Assisted Living Community For Seniors 65 & Older Of All Incomes. Call For A Tour Today!
Covid-19 has ushered in a worldwide time of great uncertainness & unprecedented change. Here in the United States we are experiencing the so-called perfect storm consisting of Covid-19, the 2020 Presidential Election, social unrest & violence, & literally storms of nature. Our world seems to be breaking apart - nothing is as it was just a few short months ago. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are to look at everything from His perspective or what bible scholars refer to as a biblical lens. From Jesus’ perspective, these are exciting times & the fields are ripe for harvest. From His perspective being broken is the only way we can fulfill the purpose we have been created for. This is a crazy concept if you are not a follower of Jesus Christ. When you hear the word peace, what do you think of? The word peace & the concept of peace is used every day in the media. People frequently say “I’m searching for peace in this situation.”, “There’s no peace for the weary.”, “He or she is at peace.”, “Be at peace with the world.”, “Keep the peace.”, “Leave in peace.”, “Peace be with you.” & “Peace out!” What is peace? The world’s definition of peace is a stress-free state of security & calmness that comes when there’s no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony & freedom. That definition reminds me of the lyrics to the very catchy Coke commercial from 1971 “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke.” Jesus’ teachings about peace do not line up with the meaning that culture has given us. Jesus says “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” He is telling us that peace comes from Him - He will give us peace. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word for peace is Shalom. Shalom with God is the key concept in the bible. The Hebrew meaning of Shalom has deep meaning referring to the concept of wholeness & completeness. Shalom is not just the idea of peaceful relationships between individuals & nations, but more importantly between God & humans. Shalom is the ultimate aim for all relationships especially between a person & God. Peace is a gift from God. Without God, it is impossible to achieve peace.

What are the terms of peace with God? Jesus tells us in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth & the light. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”, & in John 6:47-48 “I assure you: Anyone who believes in Me has eternal life. I am the bread of life.” The unbelievably great news is that God has provided a way to have Shalom with Him through the work that Jesus Christ did on our behalf. Jesus willingly allowed himself to be ridiculed, tortured, & crucified on a cross which brought Him death. He was buried & on the third day, He rose from the dead. The enmity between God, sinners, races & factions was ended because Jesus Christ became our Shalom. He is our peace.

• When stored in an airtight container, honey can last indefinitely. The substance is naturally acidic & low in moisture, which means it is an inhospitable environment for bacteria. There are small amounts of hydrogen peroxide in honey as well, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

CBD Oil & Arthritis
Health-conscious consumers have no doubt encountered advertisements for CBD oil at some point in recent memory. Supplement stores, pharmacies & even gyms may promote CBD oil, prompting consumers to wonder just what CBD is & how it may or may not play a role in the treatment of certain conditions, including arthritis. According to the Arthritis Foundation®, two kinds of the cannabis sativa plant, hemp & marijuana, produce cannabinoids, which Harvard Medical School notes is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis. People unfamiliar with CBD assume it gets users high like marijuana. CBD doesn’t get users high, as another cannabinoid, a psychoactive part of marijuana known as THC, is responsible for that effect.

Advocates for CBD often note its potential to alleviate pain associated with arthritis. While animal studies have supported those claims, the Arthritis Foundation notes that such studies do not always translate to humans. In addition, the Arthritis Foundation notes that, thus far, human studies examining the potential efficacy of CBD in treating arthritis pain have produced mixed results, & the Harvard Medical School notes that more studies are necessary to determine the potential of CBD in treating pain, including that caused by arthritis. Laws also vary regarding the legality of CBD, though many places allow some form of CBD. Consumers should first consult with their physicians regarding their conditions and whether or not CBD might help them.

Signs Your Pet May Be In Pain Pet owners go to great lengths to treat their animals well. When a pet is ill, they may exhibit signs of anxiety & upset. However, sometimes it is not so easy to detect that something is awry with a pet, even if the animal is in pain.

Companion animals descend from wild animals & it is important for wild animals’ survival that they do not display signs of physical weakness. In a domestic setting, pets may hold onto some of these inherent traits, which can make it challenging for pet owners to know when the animal is feeling poorly. Cats are very stoic and it can be easy for humans to miss signs of discomfort or pain, according to Pam Johnson-Bennet, a cat behavior expert and author of several books on cats. Even dogs may not exhibit signs of pain or illness. By learning to pick up on some cues, pet owners can determine if it is time to make a vet appointment. • Lack of appetite: A lack of appetite might be a sign of various medical conditions or that a pet is in pain. If the animal is normally a chowhound but suddenly is skipping meals or turning up his or her nose at the bowl, alert the veterinarian, especially if this behavior continues for more than a few days, & if water is being refused. • Irritability: Cats in pain may be uncharacteristically aggressive, even growling or hissing when other pets or people in the household approach. Dogs, too, may try to avoid contact or even become aggressive. Any noticeable changes in normal behavior can be a cause for concern. • Increased sleep: Pets in pain may sleep more as they try to heal or find it difficult to move around. Shifting positions, hunching & disinterest in chasing toys are other indicators that pets are in pain. • Vocalizations: Both dogs & cats in pain may be more vocal, either meowing, yelping, growling, or howling to indicate something is not right.
• For Youth Development • For Healthy Living • For Social Responsibility
• Excessive grooming: The animal resource VetsNow says that if grooming seems excessive or centralized to a spot on the body, it may be the pet’s attempt to soothe.

• Panting or altered breathing: A pet who is breathing heavily while at rest may have an underlying illness & pain.

• Potty changes: Cats may miss the litter box or choose not to use it if they’re in pain. Dogs that are ill may have accidents indoors or need to go out more frequently, even if they are house trained. Those who suspect their pets may be in pain can consult with a veterinarian & monitor symptoms carefully. Do not attempt to offer pain medication without first receiving professional advice.
