Defraites says candle fires occur most often because people get busy and forget they lit them, leaving the candles to burn down or go to bed without blowing them out. He recommends extinguishing taper and pillar candles when they get within two inches of the holder, and votives when only about a half inch of wax is left.

Ameren Promoting Efficient Holiday Gifts
12/12/2009
This year, you can give gifts that will keep giving throughout the New Year with energy-saving holiday gift ideas from the Ameren Illinois Utilities.
According to Ameren Spokesperson Leigh Morris, a good place to begin is with a gift for your own home. The Ameren Illinois Utilities Act On Energy program allows residential customers to save money by purchasing, at sharply discounted prices, energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs, or more commonly referred to as CFL’s.

Morris adds another great gift idea for your home is new ceiling fans. Residential customers can receive a $20 rebate by purchasing a qualified ceiling fan, which will help save you energy throughout the year.

Morris says a unique gift idea involves getting rid of that old, second refrigerator or freezer that is sitting out in the garage or down in the basement. AIU will pay an electric customer $35 for a standard size working refrigerator or freezer manufactured before 1993.

Harvest Numbers Down For '09 Firearm Deer-Hunting Season
12/11/2009
Deer hunters in Illinois harvested a preliminary total of 99,419 deer during the seven-day 2009 firearm deer-hunting season. The preliminary total compares with 105,595 deer taken by hunters during the 2008 firearm season.
According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources preliminary numbers for the second season, which was held December 3rd through December 6th, show that 33,293 deer were harvested which is down from the second season of 2008 when hunters were able to take in 33,701 deer. Numbers from the 2009 first season show that over 66,000 deer were harvested, which is down from the first season total of 71,894 in 2008.
Spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources Tim Schweizer says the numbers were good this year, but for the second straight year, they were down from the previous firearm season.
Click here for audio
Like the rest of the state, Christian County hunters saw their numbers for the 2009 season come down from a year ago. This season, hunters were able to harvest 604 deer, which is down from 667 during the 2008 season.
Schweizer says that most hunters in the state blamed the low numbers on the standing corn crop, which provided plenty of shelter for the deer.
Click here for audio
Schweizer adds that the state does have a few more chances left for hunters to claim a deer for the 2009 late-winter season and muzzleloader season, as well as the archery season which ends January 17th, 2010.
Click here for audio
Other counties in the Regional Radio listening area reporting a decline in deer harvested were Effingham, Macon, Montgomery, and Sangamon. Early reports show that Pike County once again topped the county deer harvest totals for the firearm season as hunters there took 3,265 deer.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources asks successful hunters to report their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer was taken by calling the toll-free check-in system 1 – 866 – 452 – 4325, or by going to the online check-in system at www.dnr.state.il.us/vcheck.

Quinn Signs New Campaign Finance Bill
12/10/2009
On Wednesday, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law a groundbreaking campaign finance bill that imposes Illinois’ first-ever contribution limits on candidates, political parties and political action committees. The new law also makes campaign contribution and expenditure information more open and available to the public.
The signing of this important campaign finance legislation caps Governor Quinn’s “Year of Reform,” which includes passage of other tough ethics laws and implementation of government reforms in the areas of appointments, freedom of information, governmental and pension ethics, procurement and accountability.
Quinn says that this bill was created to help keep the government honest and clean, stating that fair competition is a fundamental principle of American democracy.
Click here for audio
The new law also creates the Campaign Finance Reform Task Force, which will study the impact of contribution limits and make recommendations following the 2012 and 2014 elections. The task force, which will consist of 11 members appointed by the Governor and the Illinois General Assembly, will also do an in-depth study on the feasibility of implementing public financing for statewide, legislative and judicial offices and make recommendations by September 30, 2012. A final report will be issued by March 10, 2015.
Signing the campaign finance reform law is the latest in a series of government ethics reforms put into action by the Quinn Administration this year.

Taylorville Fire Department Rescues Injured Pelican
12/08/2009
On Tuesday, someone seeking assistance in rescuing an injured pelican called the Taylorville Fire Department. Firefighters were called to the wetland area east of town, just south of the Assumption blacktop, to rescue the bird. Among the equipment used by the responders were the department’s ATV, and one of the firefighter’s personal watercraft. With temperatures in the low 30’s, maneuvering through the icy waters required delicate precision, as the ice was a little over an inch thick.
After an hour, they were finally successful in obtaining the bird. Upon its capture, the Decatur Scovill Zoo was called for assistance in placing the pelican in custody. Scovill Zoo Director Dave Webster says that if the bird had not been rescued, it would’ve likely died this winter.
Click here for audio
Webster adds that with limited space at Scovill Zoo, it is likely the bird will get transferred to a zoo with more room to care for and treat the bird. Webster also says that it is not uncommon for pelicans to stay in Illinois through the winter.
Click here for audio
The bird was missing its entire left wing, likely the result of an attack from a predator. Webster says Scovill Zoo will care for the bird until an alternative facility has been found.

The Fourth Circuit includes Christian, Clay, Clinton, Effingham, Fayette, Jasper, Marion, Montgomery and Shelby counties.
Prior to joining the judiciary, Judge Jarman, 52, was a solo practitioner in general practice of all types of law in Hillsboro, IL. He has served as counsel in nearly every area of civil and criminal law, including service as an attorney for governmental entities such as the City of Hillsboro and the Villages of Panama and Irving.
“My first two months of service in the judiciary has been both humbling and rewarding,” said Judge Jarman. “The Fourth Circuit serves a large geographic area. I’m enjoying the opportunity to meet citizens and lawyers from all nine counties and appreciate the warm welcome I’ve received in my new duties.”
Judge Jarman received his law degree from Southern Illinois University School of Law in 1985 and is a graduate of Eastern Illinois University. Judge Jarman also is a veteran of the United States Army and served in the White House Communications Agency.
On October 28, 2009, Judge Jarman filed petitions to seek the Republican nomination for Coady vacancy. Jarman will be unopposed in the February primary election.
“It’s an honor to serve the people of Illinois,” said Judge Jarman. “I have promised myself and the citizens I serve that I will bring honesty, integrity, and impartiality to this job each and every day. I would be honored if the voters would consider this appointment as a job interview for a full six-year term.”
Judge Jarman lives in Hillsboro with his wife Cheryl. They have three children. Doug has been active in the Illinois Bar Association the Montgomery County Bar Association, the Hillsboro Lions Club, and coaching youth sports. Until being named as judge, Jarman was a member of the Board of Directors of the Hillsboro Hospital, First Community Bank in Hillsboro, and the Montgomery County Multidisciplinary Committee whose goal is to serve senior citizens.

City Council Has Bi-monthly Meeting Monday Night
12/08/2009
It was business as usual for the Taylorville City Council Monday night. With only two meetings left for the 2009 calendar, the council covered a laundry list of topics. Among the more discussed topics was the discussion of “Tommy the Tornado” THS street signs initiated by alderman Earl Walters. The signs would adorn the THS school colors purple and gold, aside from the customary green and white. Although a number of council members were in favor, alderman Martin Vota had some reservations about the dedicating signs to just the Taylorville High School mascot.

Authorities Finish Chicago Sanitary And Ship Canal Barrier Maintenance Work
12/08/2009
The Asian Carp Rapid Response Workgroup is finishing main project operations on a 5.7-mile stretch of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal that began December 2nd. Maintenance on the CSSC electric barrier was completed, and now the barrier has been returned to normal operation.
In support of scheduled routine barrier maintenance, biologists working with the Asian Carp Rapid Response Workgroup began applying Rotenone, a fish toxicant, on Wednesday. Rotenone application was chosen as the best option for keeping Asian carp from breaching the lower voltage demonstration barrier while the more powerful barrier was taken down for scheduled routine maintenance. The application of rotenone, and a detoxifying agent, was successful, as was the successful clean-up of dead fish along the canal.
Fisheries Biologist for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Dan Stephenson says that although only one specimen of the Asian carp was found in the vicinity of the canal, the initiative was more than just a search for the invasive specie.

Stephenson adds that while the barrier was under construction, the barge traffic was shutdown to help prevent the possible movement of carp.

Stephenson reports that a large majority of the fish killed in the rotenone application were common carp, and that only a small amount of sport fish were harmed, or killed, during the process. To date, Asian carp have showed up in local waters such as the Sangamon River, Kaskaskia River, Illinois River, and Lake Decatur.

Tough Economy Hitting Christian County Soil And Water Conservation District
12/08/2009
Many agencies across the state of Illinois have been hit hard as a result of the state’s massive budget cuts. One of those agencies suffering the consequences is the Christian County Soil and Water Conservation District. The local agency provides technical, educational, and financial resources to meet the needs of landowners and users. Christian County Soil and Water Conservation District Administrative Coordinator Sue Davis says the agency has lost over 1/4th of its staff statewide since 2007, and as a result their services are taking a substantial hit.

Overall, Davis says the Soil and Water Conservation finances have been cut by nearly 50%.

Because of the severe budget cuts, the Christian County Soil and Water Conservation District is now down to just one employee. Davis says the office is in dire need of a resource conservationist, a technically trained position they have been devoid of since last October

The district office is located at 951-2 West Spresser, behind Gambinos Restaurant in Taylorville.

IDPH Warning Illinoisans About H1N1 E-mail Scam
12/06/2009
SPRINGFIELD – Dr. Damon T. Arnold, Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, is alerting Illinoisans to a nationwide H1N1 phishing e-mail scam. The fraudulent e-mails (phishing) claim to be from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and reference a CDC sponsored State Vaccination Program. The messages request that users must create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the CDC Web site. The message then states that anyone 18 years or older has to create a personal Vaccination Profile on the CDC Web site.
The Illinois Department of Public Health encourages anyone who receives these e-mails to delete them immediately as the CDC has NOT implemented a state vaccination program requiring registration on www.cdc.gov. Users that click on the e-mail are at risk of having malicious code installed on their system.
People should take the following steps to reduce the risk of being a victim of this or other phishing attacks:
· Do not follow unsolicited links and do not open or respond to unsolicited email messages.
· Use caution when visiting un-trusted Web sites.
· Use caution when entering personal information online.
