Making memories Bob Warnell, of the Lostant Hatchery, is pictured with the latest volume of the historic Lostant Memory Book, which covers 1986 to now. Every year at this time, Lostant’s villagers and visitors are encouraged to sign their names in the book and include themselves in this tradition dating back to 1895. Other information included on its pages are births, deaths (both local and famous), marriages, graduations, new businesses, weather, and other significant events. The first book was started by hardware store owners Cyrus W. Curtis and Thomas Williamson. That volume is at the LaSalle County Historical Society and is available to view on microfiche. In 2017, the book chronicled 42 signatures, five births and 13 deaths. (Tonica News photo/Dave Cook)

ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
New year brings with it a number of new laws Part one in a series reviewing new legislation that takes effect Jan. 1 TONICA NEWS STAFF news@tonicanews.com The following is the first part in a review of notable new state laws that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2019. 72-hour Waiting Period: Creates a 72-hour waiting period on all firearms, not just handguns. The bill also eliminates the current exemption from the waiting period requirements for the sale of a firearm to a nonresident of Illinois while at a recognized gun show. The bill retains the current 24-hour withholding period for stun guns and tasers. A violation of this provision would be a Class 4 felony. The bill also eliminates the current statutory exemption from the waiting period requirements for the sale of a firearm to a nonresident of Illinois while at an official gun show recognized by the State Police. Firearms Restraining Order: Allows family members or law enforcement to petition the court for an ex parte order alleging the respondent poses significant danger of causing personal injury to himself/herself or another by having in his/her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing or receiving a firearm. The court may issue this order without notice to the respondent, but a hearing must be held as soon as possible and not to exceed 14 days. Allows for two types of orders: ex-parte/emergency (probable cause) and six-month orders (clear and convincing). Allows the court to issue search warrants (even in cases where the petitioner is a family member) to law enforcement to seize the weapons if there’s probable cause to believe the respondent possesses weapons. Missing High-Risk Military Person: Adds veterans and active-duty members of the reserves and Armed Forces believed to have physical or mental health issues, related to service, to the definition of “high-risk missing person.” Medical Records for Homeless Vets: Mandates health care facilities and practitioners provide a free copy of a homeless veteran’s medical records if the records are being requested by either the veteran or
an authorized person, entity, or organization for the purpose of supporting a claim for veterans’ disability benefits. Controlled-Substance Prescribers Continuing Ed: Requires licensed prescribers of controlled substances to complete three hours of continuing education on safe opioid-prescribing practices prior to renewing their prescription license. They can count continuing-education hours offered by an accredited professional association, a state agency, a federal agency or hours used to meet the licensing requirements of other states toward this requirement. Emergency Opioid and Addiction Treatment Access: Specifies insurance companies/MCOs can’t require prior notification of specified inpatient and outpatient substance-use-disorder treatment. It establishes procedures for insurance companies to terminate coverage of substance-use-disorder treatment. It provides for discharge notifications to be provided to insurance companies. Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Rewrite: Makes changes to provide the foundation for subsequent policies and rules enhancing and supportive of efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and other substance use disorders. The resultant changes are created for medical and community-based organizations providing intervention and treatment. Managed care organizations and primary care providers need clear guidance on when licensure is required, and this will help ensure a standardized approach to intervention and treatment. Human Trafficking Notice Requirements: Adds the following to the list of establishments required to post notice under the Human Trafficking Resource Center Notice Act: massage establishments; public gatherings and special events conducted on property open to the public that require the issuance of a permit from the unit of local government; public and private elementary and secondary schools; and establishments registered under the Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishment
Registration Act. Provides that a business or establishment that fails to comply with the act is guilty of a petty offense, and subject to a fine of up to $500 for each violation instead of liable for a civil penalty of $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense. Human Trafficking Lawsuits: Allows human trafficking survivors to bring a civil cause of action against traffickers under existing law. Allows family members, victim advocates, a court appointee or a government entity responsible for enforcing the laws of Illinois to bring an action on behalf of a victim. Human Trafficking Victim Compensation: Adds the crime of human trafficking to the section of the act that allows for a longer reporting time frame for more vulnerable victims of crime, as it currently does for survivors of sexual assault. Trafficking victims are eligible for compensation if they are engaged in a legal proceeding involving a claim that the victim is a victim of human trafficking. Dual Credits: Provides that qualified students can do the following: enroll in an unlimited amount of dual credit courses; and earn an unlimited amount of academic credits from dual credit courses so long as the course is taught by an Illinois instructor as provided under the Dual Credit Quality Act. Blaze Pink: Provides that hunters may wear blaze pink during firearm deer season and upland game season. Rear-Facing Car Seat: Requires children under the age of two to be secured in a rear-facing child-restraint system. Children weighing more than 40 pounds or taller than 40 inches are exempted. Back-Up Vehicular Lights: Provides that a back-up lamp on a motor vehicle must emit a white or amber light without glare. Route 66 Centennial Commission: Creates a 20-member Route 66 Centennial Commission to coordinate commemorative events to celebrate 100 years of Route 66.

Meds and food: You can’t always eat what you want A guide for safe food and drug interactions
Susan Glassman (right), U of I Extension Nutrition and Wellness educator, is pictured providing assistance during a health fair held in 2018 at the Putnam County Community Center in Standard. Throughout the year and at a variety of area locations, Glassman regularly holds many informational health programs.
BY DAVE COOK news@tonicanews.com STANDARD — It’s well known it’s in a person’s best interest to follow doctor’s orders and to take prescribed medication as instructed. It’s also well known certain medications shouldn’t be taken together. But, what many may not realize is what someone eats and drinks while medicated can also be important. Susan Glassman, a nutrition and wellness educator with the University of Illinois Extension, has shared information to help families be sure their medications aren’t neutralized or being made counterproductive through their diets. According to the Food-Drug Interactions guide from U.S. Food and Drug Administration, some medications are taken on empty or full stomachs, or after a meal. Some are recommended without foods. When people follow the recommendations,

their prescribed amounts. It’s also advised to fill all prescriptions at the same pharmacy. Other tips from Glassman include to never open capsules, mix medications into hot drinks, or chew tablets.

A 2000 graduate of Creighton University’s School of Pharmacy, Sines has worked full-time as a pharmacist at IVCH since 2003. Before then she had worked holidays and summers at the hospital as a pharmacy tech and later as a supplemental pharmacist. Jennifer Sines also worked for a time as a pharmacist for Osco Drugs and Sines the Princeton Walmart. Sines is an Illinois Valley native and a graduate of LaSalle-Peru High School.

Grapefruit and other citrus can cause problems for those taking statin drugs for high cholesterol, as well as medications for high blood pressure, anti-anxiety, corticosteroids, abnormal heart rhythms and antihistamines. Spinach, broccoli, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts and other greens can affect people on anticoagulants or blood thinners. Fiber supplements can alter the transport and absorption of Digoxin, Metformin and Levothyroxine. Chocolate, some cheeses, processed meats and soy sauce can alter monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and drugs for treating the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. “Milk, yogurt, cheese and calcium-fortified juices should be avoided when taking antibiotics,” Glassman said. Fats, such as butter, lard or highfat meat, fried food, high fat meals and pastries and desserts, can inhibit cholesterol, anti-fungal, bronchodilators and ACE inhibitor medicines. Fortified foods, such as enriched breads, cereal and other grain products, as well as multivitamins and folate supplements, can negatively alter the absorption of antacids, bile acid sequestrants, birth control,

GRANVILLE — Judith “Judy” Ann Meyer, 79, of Granville, formerly of Tonica, passed away Saturday, Dec. 22, 2018, at Aperion Care in Spring Valley. She was born Sept. 14, 1939, in LaSalle to Guy and Dorothy (Stanford) Ringer. She married Arthur “Art” Meyer May 18, 1957, in Tonica. He survives. She worked at Anderson Microfilming, where she was a microfilmer. She was also a waitress at Ali’s Pantry in Granville. She was a member of various camping clubs. She loved playing with her dog, “Princess.”
anti-convulsants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs). Fortified dairy, as well as enriched grains, can increase vitamin D levels and interfere with estrogen replacement therapies. Multivitamins and vitamin D supplements may affect antacids, calcium channel blockers, cholestyramine and anticonvulsants. Enriched grains, multivitamins and iron supplements can impact the effectiveness of ulcer medications, bile acid sequestrants, antibiotics, ACE inhibitors and birth control medications. Enriched grains, multivitamins, vegan and vegetarian foods, multivitamins and B-12 supplements can also alter the performance of anticonvulsants, chemotherapy medications, bile acid sequestrants, H2 blockers, Metformin and proton pump inhibitors. B-12 can also interfere with antibiotics. Salt substitutes containing potassium can affect those taking Digoxin or ACE inhibitors, and alcohol should be avoided by those who are prescribed pain relievers, fever reducers, NSAIDs, bronchodilators, statins, nitrates and metformin. To get the most benefit from prescribed medications, Glassman recommended letting a person’s doctor and pharmacist know about every drug being taken, including over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements. “The main points I stress are to communicate with your doctor and pharmacist for their recommendations,” she said. For more information, visit the U of I Extension website at https:// web.extension.illinois.edu/state/ index.php or contact a physician and/or pharmacist.
