Farming MattersBy Jake Anderson

Stark County Farm Bureau Manager

Most of us have fondecollections of a favoriteeacher(s) who sparked

our interest in learning.Since the last half of the19th Century public schoolteachers have been the

bedrock of Americansociety.

In recent decades,however, teachers havebecome the punching bags (at least teachers feelthat way) for elites, par-ents and all who lamentthe state of Americaneducation.

The policy-elites feel aneed to put teachers intostrait-jackets of teach-ing to high-stakes tests.Parents are too quick toblame the teacher rather

than their child for any behavior problems, andstate school agencies areburying the teachers inpaperwork for their data-driven analysts.

And we all lament(as we always have) why Johnny can’t read or write.

So I recently gath-ered six area teacherswho are experienced andrespected. The six teacheverything from math toforeign languages; they have 161 total years of classroom experience.

Their rural districts enrollanywhere from 35-70 per-cent low-income students.

Since teachers arerarely asked by elites whatthey think, I asked them,“What do you think about

Illinois teachers under stressBy Jim Nowlan

[email protected]

American education?”The answers were not

at all what I expected.“Eliminate tenure,”

said one, to the positivenodding of heads from allthe others.

“We all know teachers who shouldn’t be in theclassroom,” he said. “Yet

my district board is told it will cost $300,000 to rea teacher, and we can’tafford that, so the teach-ers stay.”

The teachers I vis-ited with sure don’t wantat-will rings by a new school board or superin-tendent. Instead, they say,there should be a processfor coaching, mentoring,maybe encouraging de-parture, and ring whennecessary.

“School district

boundaries should beeliminated,” said a scienceteacher. “Let studentsenroll in any district thatseems the best t, as they can in Iowa. Some admin-istrators become compla-cent, knowing they have acaptive audience.”

Teaching to the testfrustrates these teachers.

“Teaching is a creativeart,” declared anotherscience teacher. “Thereare different ways to reachand turn on the lights foreach student. Don’t sup-press that creativity withso much emphasis onteaching to the test.”

The teachers couldalso use more help fromthe parents. Attendance atparent-teacher conferenc-

es is good in elementary school, said one, yet poorat the high school level.

“Maybe at the highschool level, many parentsfeel they can’t help theirchildren,” she observed.

The teacher went onto note, however, that sheonce taught at Geneseo

High, a bedroom commu-nity for many Quad-Citiesexecutives. And all theparents, with their highexpectations for success,turned out.

“But we can’t doanything about the social world in which our schoolis embedded,” noteda math teacher from a40 percent low-incomedistrict. “We have to dothe best we can for thecommunity and school weare in.”

Much is coming down at once onto theheads of Illinois teach-ers. Over recent years,there has been a series of changing standards—theIllinois Goals AssessmentProgram; Illinois Learn-ing Standards, No ChildLeft Behind, and now, theCommon Core.

The teachers didn’tseem opposed to thenew, supposedly higherstandards of the CommonCore. But they wonder when it will stop, that is,

will this be just anotherfad handed down from onhigh, replaced by some-thing else in a few years?

At the same time thatteachers are implement-ing and teaching to the

Common Core standards,they are also to undergoa new evaluation process.Student performanceplays a part in the evalu-ation.

The evaluationsshould be more rigorousand useful than those inthe past that found every

teacher a satisfactory orsuperior performer.

These evaluationsalso come with conse-quences, and could resultin the termination of ateacher.

So there is a lot of frustration and anxiety,even fear, as teachers seeall this coming down.For example, how do youevaluate the test perfor-mance on the CommonCore of a high schooler who did not have the new

Common Core standardsin junior high? All this in a context in

which teacher compensa-tion is being cut in Illinoisas a result of smallerpensions and a require-ment that they teach until67, instead of 55 or so, tocollect it.

Would you encour-age your child to go intoteaching? “Generally, yes,but in Illinois, no,” said aforeign language teacher.

Change has beenchurning Illinois educa-tion for at least threedecades now. Teachers arebecoming worn down by change. They want somestability. And they wouldlike some respect for theirprofession.

Kewanee Area UnitedWay assist 19 agencies in29 communities and theFamilyWize Community Service Partnership, thenation’s leading providerof free prescription drug discount cards, today an-nounced a new collabo-ration to help people whocannot afford the medi-cine they need.

The partnershipbuilds upon the extensive

Kewanee Area United Way and FamilyWize announce

partnership to help uninsured with prescription costshad with FamilyWize overthe past seven years, andit impacts two of the threeUnited Way Worldwidepriority areas –Health andIncome – with one freeprescription savings cardanyone can use.

The two organiza-tions share a commongoal of improving accessto health care, one of theUnited Way strategies for“Advancing the Common

Good.” This new, closer re-lationship will address onof the greatest challenges

for FamilyWize – increas-ing awareness that free as-sistance is easily available.

“To begin distributionKewanee Area United Way will be reaching patientsin need through partneragencies then expand outso that everyone in ourcommunities will haveaccess to this discount,”Deann Schweitzer Ad-ministrative Associate of Kewanee Area United Way

stated. Ms. Schweitzercontinued, “I have beenresearching this alliance

for several months and thesavings can range from 30– 70 percent. It does notcost anything for our citi-zens but may eliminate thechoice of paying the elec-tric bill, food or purchas-ing needed medication. Also, there are no forms orinformation needed to ob-tain a card. These cards areavailable to anyone whomis uninsured, their family,their friends or co-workers

and the expiration dateisn’t until 2020.”

“Use of the card also

provides an additionalbenet to income stabil-ity. A CVS Caremark study shows that taking medi-cine as prescribed can saveas much as $7,800 per pa-tient annually, money thatotherwise would be spenton emergency rooms,hospitalizations, tests andother procedures.

The ofcial Kewanee Area United Way Family- Wize cards will be avail-

able in time for CampaignKick off in early Septemberbut we are expecting to re-

ceive temporary cards asearly as late next week fordistribution,” Schweitzersaid.

The cards are wallesized and there is a bro-chure to accompany withinformation written inboth English and Spanish.Several partnerships withlocal pharmacies exist buthe closest to home in-clude Walgreens, CVS an Wal-Mart.

Owens concluded by stating, “Mr. Slightom hasa lengthy criminal history and perhaps it was hardfor him to secure a legiti-mate job. But, it gets tothe virtue of how peopleaddress those hard times.

Woller then presentedarguments as to why hisclient should not receivea strong sentence. Wollerexplained that Slightomwas, “short of money, but

didn’t contemplate any harm to the community.”

Slightom then madea statement to the Court.He said, “(unintelligible). Iapologize. Please take intoconsideration my kids” – when it came to handing down a sentence.

Shore then renderedthe sentence. “It’s yourresponsibility. Hardshipis your consideration. Atsome point it is not ourresponsibility to stop you(from acting unlawfully)– it’s your responsibility,”

Slightom (continued from page 9)

Shore lectured.Shore continued, “You

are one of those individu-als creating the drug prob-lem. You were supporting your family at the expenseof those using drugs. You were preying on them.”

The sentencing of Slightom then followedmore of the reasons of how Shore came to his de-cision. He told Slightom,“Selling drugs has seriousconsequences.”

Question: Can “pre-tend” military heroes facepenalties for claiming they received certain military awards or honors?

Answer: The federalStolen Valor Act of 2013prohibits someone fromfalsely claiming certainmilitary awards or honors,such as the U.S. Congres-sional Medal of Honor, forthe purpose of obtaining “money, property or othertangible benet.” Violators

of the law can face up toone year in prison.

Question: Under what

circumstances may policelegally take a DNA samplefrom a suspect?

Answer: Under a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling,police can now procureDNA samples from peoplein connection with a vio-lent crime, without obtain-ing a warrant, and despitea nding of guilt in a courtof law. The Supreme Courtruled that taking a person’sDNA through a cheek swabis like taking ngerprints

or a photo and is a minorintrusion to a person un-der arrest. Until now, DNA

testing was allowed only ia person was convicted oa crime.

All DNA results are en-tered into a database anautomatically checked formatches. DNA has beenused with incredible accu-racy to identify criminalsas well as exonerate thos who were wrongly con-victed of a crime.

My folks have acabin on a lake that we

visited often when I was a child.Nearness to the water fostered a con-

stant desire to eat sh. Many people, at anearly age, grow up eating seafood. I thank my folks for their desire to be open-minded

and always wanting to try new foods. ThanksMom & Dad! You have inspired me in more

ways than you know!!

SUCCULENT SALMON STEAKS1 lb. salmon llets1/3 cup sour cream (regular or light) or 1/3 cup

yogurt2 tsp. prepared mustard2 tsp. onion, nely minced2 tsp. dried dill weed3 T. mayonnaise (light or regular)2 T. parmesan cheese, gratedPaprika for colorLemon Wedges

Preheat the oven to 450° degrees. If frozen,partially thaw salmon llets and cut into four serv -ing size pieces. Place in a greased 8x8 baking dish.Combine the sour cream, mustard, onion, dill andmayonnaise. Taste and then season the mixture with salt and pepper, if needed. Spread the mixtureequally over the four portions of salmon. Bake for12 – 15 minutes for thawed sh or 20 minutes for

frozen. When done, sprinkle with parmesan cheeseand a dash of paprika. Broil 1 minute or until cheeseis bubbly and slightly brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

Note: I do not use the parmesan cheese as I feelcheese adds a whole other element of taste and cansometimes mask the avor of sh. Try it, as thecolor will look nice when broiled.

Helpful Hint: Using light sour cream or yogurt tastes as good as the full fat versionsand will cut down on calories and fat.
