When I moved here . .
A
s a music
educa-
tor,
Quincy
has been
such a wonderful
place to learn and
grow. We are one of
the few districts in
Illinois to have a mentor-teacher program;
this program has been so helpful for me
as a new face coming to Quincy. I also feel
very fortunate to be in a district where the
teachers are so devoted to their students
and the community is so involved with the
fine arts. As for being new to the town, I
have been very well taken care of by the
people I first saw merely as co-workers but
quickly came to see as close friends, and
some even as family. Something I wish I
knew coming to Quincy from the Chicago
south suburbs is how many opportuni-
ties there are to be involved in the fine
arts outside of the classroom. There is so
much opportunity for people of any age
to be involved, and first coming here, I was
unaware of how much. There are oppor-
tunities to join the community orchestra,
band and choir. There is even an opportu-
nity to be a part of the Muddy River Opera.
Outside of performance opportunities,
there are also festivals, so people of the
community can immerse themselves in
culture, such as the Folk Life Festival, Blues
in the District and Q-Fest. First coming to
Quincy, all these amazing opportunities
came as a surprise, but as soon as I learned
about them, I jumped right in and became
a true Quincyan. I have learned that Quincy
is full of wonderful surprises, and I am sure
there are plenty more surprises to come.”

Quincy College. After college, I worked at the
Quincy Family YMCA and Quincy Park District.
I love living in the Quincy community and
raising my family here. The community is a very
friendly and welcoming community. People are
willing to help each other out, and when someone
is in need, the people and organizations are there to
help. The park system is above average for green space and local parks
for a community of our size. I think the thing I would miss most is Quincy
Notre Dame. My son graduated from QND, and I have assisted with QND
athletics for over 20 years. The QND family is a very special one and does
so much for their students and the community. I would also miss two of
my favorite restaurants, Tower of Pizza and the Abbey. I have no plans to

What’s the progress on Quincy’s new public schools?
uincy Public Schools will
see its first of five new
elementary schools open
for the 2017-18 year.
Lincoln-Douglas Ele-
mentary School will serve
K-3 students in its first
year, then it will become a
K-5 school for 2018-19 as QPS opens two more
new buildings under construction at 48th and 1
Columbus Road and on North 12th Street.
The final two schools, one at the site of
Baldwin Intermediate School and the other at
4100 Harrison, are slated to open for the 2019-
2
20 year. The Baldwin project, easily the most
challenging of the five, will incorporate new
K-2 and 3-5 wings with the existing cafeteria, 3
auditorium and Blue Devil Gym.
“I don’t think another community in the state
or nation is doing that, taking 3,000 kids from
old schools and putting them into brand-new 4
facilities within a 2.5-year period,” Superinten-
dent Roy Webb said. “Quincy is doing so many 5
of these that it becomes an everyday deal, but
they should take great pride in it. They place
education as a top priority in this community.”
Voters approved an $89 million bond issue
in November 2014 to build the new K-5 schools
and an addition to Quincy High School.
The QHS project added classrooms and
a new bus entrance, renovated the main
entrance, enlarged the cafeteria, created two
new biology labs from four classrooms and
renovated locker rooms.
The QHS addition and renovations were
completed for the 2016-17 school year as ninth-
graders transitioned from Quincy Junior High
School to QHS and sixth-graders moved from

n 2017, Quincy was named one of America’s Most Artistic Small

Towns by Expedia’s Travelblog, and it’s easy to see why. Our calendar
is bursting with opportunities to become involved with visual arts,
music, theater, history and humanities. Arts Quincy is America’s first
arts council and is dedicated to making sure everyone has access to the
fine arts through the programming of nearly 60 nonprofit arts partner
organizations.
Whether you’re a professional, a hobbyist or someone with budding in-
terest but no experience, there’s an arts organization that will welcome you.
Many of our arts partners offer free and low-cost arts opportunities
throughout the year. Look for free concerts all summer by the Quincy Park
Band, Blues in the District and Hannibal’s Music Under the Stars series. The
nationally recognized Quincy Concert Band offers both a spring and fall
concert that are free and open to the public, and the Sunday Music Series
offers a monthly instrumental recital during the school year that is also free.
Students ages 18 and younger and many area college students are ad-
mitted free to both Quincy Symphony and Quincy Civic Music Association
events. Students can also apply for scholarships for classes from several
organizations, including the Quincy Art Center and the Quincy Community
Theatre.
Quincy also boasts a robust festival calendar that includes the Dogwood
Festival in the spring, Q-Fest and Lincoln in the District during the summer,
Art Fest, the Folklife Festival and Frontier Settlement Days in the fall, and
Eagle Days in the winter. Each of these major festivals offers free or low-cost
admission to the public.
Add all of this to a great line up of museums, historical sites, the Quincy
Public Library and more, and you can see that the arts are a big part of what
makes this community a great place to live, work and create.
Arts Quincy is your one-stop resource for all the
arts. Find the calendar of events at artsquincy.org,
follow us on Facebook and Twitter, or call 217-222-
3432, and sign up to receive our full-color Arts Quincy
magazine delivered to your home at artsquincy.

W here are the most
accessible places to fish?
If you are without a boat or other means of on-water access, the
easiest places to go fishing are Moorman Lake and Kesler Park.
Located inside 80-acre Moorman Park off North 36th Street,
Moorman Lake is a bluegill-catching haven. It features two docks,
benches along the bank and easy access to the water.
The Quincy Park District also made fishing accessible in Kesler
Park along the Mississippi River. Kesler Park lies directly on Quincy
Bay and features several docks, bank fishing, substantial parking
and several boat launches.
Siloam Springs State Park, in eastern Adams County and along
the Brown County border, features a 58-acre lake with two boat
launches and boat rental. It has plenty of space for bank fishing,
including Cattail Cove.
The Canton Chute Public Use Area north of Quincy and the Bear
Creek Public Use Area near Meyer allow anglers to park within
walking distance of the Mississippi River banks.
W here can I find public

hunting grounds?
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources designates two
areas in Adams County as public hunting grounds.
Siloam Springs State Park, on the eastern border of Adams County,
is open to hunters year-round, although special permits are required
to hunt most species inside the park. Squirrel hunting is open to
any hunter with a valid license, while dove hunters must hunt from
staked spots inside the park and the Buckhorn Unit.
A site permit is required for bow hunters during turkey and deer
season, and hunters must apply for special permits through the
IDNR for the turkey and the fall firearms deer seasons. There is an
on-site drawing for special permits for raccoon and Canada geese
hunting.
The IDNR also has more than 24,000 huntable acres in Missis-
sippi River Pools 21, 22 and 24, which include islands, bays and
potholes.
Duck-hunting blinds are assigned by a random draw, which takes
place in July every two years. All other hunting, including spring
turkey and firearms deer, requires hunters to have statewide per-
mits and follow statewide regulations.
W here can I hike

or take walks?
The Quincy Park District offers two trails for hikers or walkers
who want a scenic avenue.
The Bill Klingner Trail is an asphalt-covered trail located near
Bob Mays Park at 18th and Kochs Lane. The trail stretches between
North 5th and North 18th streets and is nearly 2 miles long. The trail
is designed for walking, bicycling and running. No vehicular traffic
is allowed on the trail. It is open from dawn to dusk.
Moorman Park features a 1-mile path that wraps around Moor-
man Lake and is used by walkers and joggers.
Siloam Springs State Park features about 12 miles of scenic hiking
trails that go from valleys to flatlands throughout the park, includ-
ing a combination 6-mile hiking and backpacking trail. Most trails
are easy, but Hoot Owl, at 1.5 miles, and Red Oak backpack trails,
at 4 miles, are moderate. Four primitive camp sites are available for
those who wish to hike to them.

WHERE CAN I GET (and our feelings about them) to ourselves. This often results in feel-
ing isolated or alone with our problems — and, these feelings often
result in our feeling worse.
MENTAL
We are all human — and when we lose someone we love, we
grieve. When we fail at a task or competition, we lose conÿdence.
When “big” problems are present in our lives, we wonder if life will
ever be better.
I frequently remind myself of the words of the great poet, author,
HEALTH
and activist Maya Angelou. She reminds us that as humans, we may
have different personalities, different features, different skin colors
and different ways of living our lives. While we have obvious differ-
ences, we are a part of the human family. And, as Angelou writes in
her poem, “Human Family,” “We are more alike than we are unalike.”
SERVICES?
When you are struggling, don’t feel alone or apart. Reach out to

What should I know
about remodeling
and repairs?
P
ermits are required for most projects, includ-
ing remodeling. The permit process ensures
that work being done is in conformity with the
building, electrical and plumbing codes. These
codes protect public health, safety and welfare
by requiring strong, safe, stable, sanitary and
energy-conserving construction.
It is simpler to list those projects that do not
require a building permit:
• Flat concrete (patios, driveways, sidewalks)
• Interior or exterior painting
• Roof coverings (shingles, metal, rolled roofing)
Just picture it
• Interior wall coverings, floor coverings or ceiling surfaces
(wallpaper, paneling, drywall, drop ceiling, carpet, tile, etc.)
The process begins with the filing of a permit application.
Forms are available at the counter in the Department of Plan-
ning and Development or on the city’s website — quincyil.
gov. Remodeling and alteration permit fees are based on the
estimated cost of material and in accordance with a regressive
fee schedule. The minimum fee is $24. To give an example, a
project having a material cost of $10,000 would carry a build-
ing permit fee of $71.
Often, a remodeling project will require an electrical or
plumbing permit, as well. These permit fees are based on the
number of circuit openings in the case of electrical work or trap
openings in the case of plumbing. The owner of a single-family
dwelling, which also serves as the owner’s primary residence,
may perform electrical and plumbing work himself or herself;
otherwise, a licensed electrical or plumbing contractor must
perform those respective aspects of the
work.
Inspections will be required for any
...and let us framing, electrical and plumbing installa-

tions before the work is concealed.

there breaking into homes and business-
es every day. The things they do once
they have gained access to your private
space are not good. Unwanted intrusions
often result in some awful things, such as
physical assault, vandalism and theft.
What can we do to stop this from happening? The answer
to that question is nothing. There are no steps you can take
that will absolutely prevent misguided people from doing
bad things.
However, investments in technology can go a long way to
minimize your risk and exposure. A strong security system
with proper signs can act as a deterrent to would-be intrud-
ers. It can also stop intruders in their tracks with loud noises
and flashing lights. Today’s most advanced approaches to
security systems are bringing smartphone and web-based

control and lighting. Improvements in wireless products
have allowed for more aggressive levels of security system
configurations at lower costs.

What should I know
about appliances?
W
hen shopping for appliances for
your home, there are many things
to consider. Most everyone has a
limitation or an idea of what they
want to spend.
Appliances, cabinets, counter-
tops and flooring — appliances are
just a small piece of the project.
With the appearance of the appliance as an integral detail of
the space, many new finishes, such as black stainless, slate
and smudge-proof stainless steel, are available on appliances.
We work directly with local contractors and kitchen designers
to help simplify your project.
In the past, a customer may have had a brand name they
were partial to for one reason or another. Today there are
many brands but only a dozen or so manufacturers. However,
consumers need to remember that all brands are not created
equal. A knowledgeable sales staff can advise a customer and
explain why one brand may be better than another.
Serviceability of any product is also important. Even a
simple washer and dryer today has some sort of computer con-
trolling its operation, and with any product comes the chance
for repairs at some point. Brands that can be serviced by local,
independent companies simplify the repair process and get
your machine back in operation as quick as possible.
As an independent, locally owned appli-
ance retailer, we feel we have a lot to offer
our customers. We’ve been in business for
34 years helping customers with purchas-
ing new appliances and repairing old
appliances.

What should I know
about lawn care?
A
beautiful lush green lawn does not happen
overnight, but with some work by the home-
owner it can be an attainable goal.
By following a four- or five-step process,
you can start down the road to a better lawn.
Step 1: Crabgrass preventer and fertilizer
applied in the spring before the soil tempera-
ture reaches an average of 57 to 64 degrees
at a one-inch depth. This will also prevent new grass seed from
germinating. A special crabgrass preventer must be used in con-
junction with new seeding.
Step 2: Broadleaf weedkiller and fertilizer, usually applied in
May or June when weeds are vigorously growing.
Step 3: Grub control (optional). Preventative grub-control
products should be applied in June or July. Watering the lawn
immediately after application is a must with this product. With
the heavy population of Japanese beetles in 2017, we may see a
resurgence in grub damage to lawns in the future.
Step 4: Broadleaf weedkiller and fertilizer, applied in Septem-
ber. This application could just be a fertilizer if the presence of
weeds is minimal.
Step 5: Winterizer, applied in late October or November. This
fertilizer focuses on providing nutrients to the root system. This
will help the density of your lawn and is one of the most impor-
tant steps in this process.
Besides this process, there are a couple of other factors that
will help ensure a green lawn. Lawn irrigation, whether it is just
manual watering or an actual irrigation
system is important in the hot, dry months of
July and August.
Another factor is air flow. A yard with
many large trees should have the lower
branches of the trees raised to allow proper
air circulation and sunlight to the area under
the canopy of the tree.

When formulating a business interruption limit of coverage
consideration should be given to:
A Type of loss: Location

Reconstruction

To successfully survive a total loss you need to develop a disaster plan that
considers these 5 factors. Without a plan, survival will be needlessly costly.
Just as any minister will tell you, you don’t get to heaven by accident.
It’s all in the planning.
Let the Hubbard group’s first-hand experience in total facility losses assist you
in formulating comprehensive disaster plans that will ensure a successful recovery.

It’s time for a
new car ...
Where do I start
irst: Start the process before it’s an emergency.
It’s always better to make a financial move you’ve
planned for. Saving a little bit regularly will add
up over time.
Contribute a little — $5, $10, $15 every pay-
check to your car fund, and you’ll be surprised
how that will add up. The down payment will
make your new car more affordable. It’s better to do a little consis-
tently and leave it alone than a lot irregularly.
What do I need Second: Make a friend in the business. Yes, there are good guys
and gals in the car business. Find one who you can relate with, a
pro will enjoy helping you select and won’t mind if it takes several
to know about
visits to determine your needs.
Pick a dealership with a good reputation that is in a position to
serve you. The right dealer will care about making sure not only

that they earn your business but also that you don’t pay too much.
Plus, the best dealers care about serving the communities they are
a part of.
Third: Pay attention to your credit. Know what’s in your credit
report, a good banker or car professional can and will review your
credit with you.
Know what it says. You can change your credit profile signifi-
