Getting the Word Out by Natalie Rowe

When Lisa Jackson entered my office to talk about her
“Spooky Walk,” I was suprised...she didn’t strike me as a
Halloween enthusiast. Boy, was I wrong. The moment she began
discussing “Haunted Trails,” a spooky walk she is hosting in her
backyard, her face lit up with excitement, ideas danced behind her
fiery eyes, and she spoke passionately about her event and the
charity it supports.
Years back Lisa and her family adopted a St. Bernard from
the Scott County Dog Rescue. The pup was immediately part of
the family. Today, while many people help with financial relief and
adoption events, the Rescue is still in need. So Lisa, her family,
and friends will be opening up the Jackson’s 6000 square foot
backyard to the public. For a small, voluntary donation of $2.00
per person, anyone can take an after dark stroll through movie
inspired horror scenes, and all proceeds will benefit the Scott
County Dog Rescue.
Why did Lisa choose to host this event? “Before we

Finding the Groove By Kyle Cummings and Josh West

“It’s called The New Trier Jazz Festival. It’s in Chicago, and we’re going to play in
it.”
The members of the Jazz Band watch with rapt attention as Mr. Bartunek, Triopia
High School’s new band director, presents this news with a flourish. The classroom, normal-
ly packed to the brim with students of all ages and grade levels, is fairly empty now, housing
only a dozen or so teenagers.
“We’re going to the festival this February, and we will play in front of a panel of
judges which will critique the performance,” says Mr. Bartunek with the air of one enjoying
the reactions.
The kids sitting in the front row glance at each other excitedly. This is an interest-
ing discovery. Playing in a local concert is certainly fun, but traveling to Chicago? Instantly
several eyes in the crowd break away as the students begin to daydream about it.
This is just one of many events Triopia’s new director has in mind. In addition to
traveling in the spring, a whole host of private concerts has been planned. The students are the
best and most determined band members. In the opinion of sophomore guitarist Billie Smith,
“Playing and studying jazz has greatly
broadened my horizons, and I’ve learned
a lot about playing in general.”
Most of the kids also take band
as a class during the day. Trevor Gaines,
senior tuba player, has recently found a
new instrument to add to his arsenal. “I
just walked into the room and said, ‘I’m
going to play the trumpet.’ It’s been going
great so far,” Trevor told us.
Trevor is not a unique case at
Triopia. In the first row, senior Jenna
Arthur and freshman Jessica Clinton, both
flautists, are now broadening their musi-
cal interests by trying the alto saxophone.
There are many great changes
being made to the band program at
Triopia, , and if you want a firsthand
account, watch for the announcements of
upcoming concerts.

of the responsibility of adequately funding retirement has shifted from the employer to the
individual.
Given these factors, it’s clear that you must be proactive in building resources to achieve the
retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. So, consider taking the following steps:
Contribute to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan. If possible, try to put in as much
as you can afford to your 401(k) or other tax-advantaged, employer-sponsored plan, such as
a 403(b) or 457(b). It’s a good idea to spread your 401(k) dollars among the available invest-
ments in a way that reflects your risk tolerance and time horizon. And as your income
increases, try to increase your 401(k) contributions. At a minimum, put in enough to earn
your employer’s match, if one is offered. Due to the prolonged economic slump, some
employers have cut back or eliminated their 401(k) matching contributions, but if one is
offered, take advantage of it.
Open an IRA. Even if you contribute to a 401(k), you are probably still eligible to open an
IRA. A traditional IRA can grow on a tax-deferred basis, and a Roth IRA grows tax-free, pro-
vided you’ve had your account for at least five years and don’t begin taking withdrawals until
you’re 59-1/2. Plus, you can usually find that an IRA provides more investment options that
a 401(k) plan.
Rebalance your investment portfolio regularly. During the long bear market, many new
retirees faced difficulties when they were forced to tap into investment portfolios whose value
had dropped significantly. You can help avoid this problem by periodically reviewing and
rebalancing your investments. So for example, if you know you’re going to retire within the
next five years, you may want to consider shifting some of your assets into shorter-term
investments that may not be as susceptible to market volatility. You can speak with a finan-
cial advisor, who can help you review your specific situation.
By making the right moves, you can turn every week into a “Save for Retirement” week. And 265 N Westgate Ave Jacksonville, IL 62650-1700

you’ll probably be glad you did, once your actual retirement week arrives.

Crafty Christmas by Marcy Patterson
Debbie Bartz knows all about bells, whistles and doo-dads. After 21 years in the
handcrafted home decor business, her Jacksonville Company, Taylor & Coultas, Inc., at 220 E.
State St., has gained a nationwide reputation for delivering the extras, like ribbons, bows, and
pompons that add a three-dimensional touch to holiday decor.
The business is named after Debbie's crafty grandmothers, Helen Coultas Sturdy and
Pauline Taylor Moody. One, a meticulous seamstress, the other, a savvy saleswoman.
Following the company slogan, "Making the world a softer place, one pillow at a
time," Taylor & Coultas sells decorative pillows with seasonal expressions. With pompons,
rick rack, bells, and other accents, petite pillows showcase clever phrases like, "Oh by golly
it's time to be jolly."
The company also specializes in non seasonal pillows embellished with decorative
trimmings, also embroidered with popular phrases. Recently, birthday products have been
added to the extrensive lineup.
All Taylor & Coultas products are designed in house by Steven Varble.
This is a wholesale agency, and it is not open to the public. However, the Taylor &
Coultas products are sold in gift shops all over the United States. Once each year, Debbie opens
her doors to our community in her inventory reduction sale. You can take advantage of this
opportunity on November 7th during the hours of 7am and Noon. The next time you see an
adorable Taylor & Coultas product, you can tell your friends, "It was designed in Jacksonville."
Mr. Anderson’s Biology II Class by Bethany Fischer and Cody Griffin

“I think it’s the best learning environment.” That is Mr. Anderson’s opinion about
field trips in his Biology II class. He would rather it be called Field Biology, since so much of
what the students do is about the world around them. The students have learned about aquatic
plants and animals, trees in the area, how to identify birds, and later they will collect wildflow-
ers, weeds, and leaves. This part of the class is only one semester long, with the second semes-
ter being Bio Tech which focuses on forensics.
Mr. Anderson said that he’s been taking classes on field trips for about 10 years now.
He thinks that when the students get out of the classroom and are surrounded by the environ-
ment they’re learning about, they’ll get a better feel for what they’re learning. “The outdoors
is a wonderful teacher,” Mr. Anderson said. The class that he has now has about 20 kids, which
is one of the biggest classes of Bio II that he has ever taught. He said that with a bigger class
it is sometimes harder to get everybody involved, but so far this year he hasn’t had a problem
with it.
The picture that is shown shows two boys in the class seining. A seine, by defini-
tion, is “a fishing net that hangs vertically in the water, having floats at the upper edge and
sinkers at the lower”. By using a seine, the class tried to collect fish and aquatic plants.
Although he was unsuccessful in finding fish, Mr. Anderson still feels that the trip was worth-
while. The first class field trip (where the picture was taken) was to a field pond where the stu-
dents caught aquatic plants, a turtle, and several crawdads. The second field trip was to a farm
pond near Mr. Anderson’s house. Once again, no fish were caught, but the students learned a
lot about the plants that they caught. The third trip was finally a success when the students
caught a clam and several minnows in Indian Creek near Arenzville. Mr. Anderson said that he
was impressed how everybody in the class participated in the activity at Indian Creek. About
the trip he said, “There are things that work better in the classroom, and things that work bet-
ter outdoors, but blended together they work.”
The class has since moved on and they are now working on how to identify leaves
they are gathering from the various woods around the school.
