Take Advantage of Winter Weather
Is getting more active your New Year’s resolution or are you trying to shed those pesky holiday pounds? Winter is ripe with outdoor activities that offer a good workout. Plus, you can burn more calories exercising in winter because your body has to work hard to keep itself warm.
Flex your muscles. Snow creates plenty of opportunity for burning calories. When the fluffy stuff falls, ditch the snow blower, and shovel your driveway and sidewalk by hand. Offer to help a neighbor or family member to maximize the workout.
Go out and play. There are many fun activities to do outside in the winter.
- Ice skating
- Snowboarding
- Downhill or cross-country skiing
- Snowshoeing
- Playing in the snow with family or friends
Walk or run. Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean you can’t continue your walking or running routine. Dressed and warmed up properly, this workout can be even more effective in the cold. Andif you’re looking for a different challenge, try snow hiking. Wearing boots and snow gear, walking through heavy or deep snow is a great workout, particularly on hilly terrain.
To stay safe when exercising outdoors:
- Dress for the weather. Wear several layers to stay warm, and so you can remove items if needed during your workout. Remember to especially protect your hands, feet and ears.
- Thoroughly stretch and warm up before venturing outside, as the cold makes your muscles less flexible and more prone to injury.
- Wear proper safety gear and equipment for your activity to avoid injury.

Ace Hardware Hillsboro
The below article appeared in The Journal-News in Hillsboro recently recognizing Ace Hardware of Hillsboro as member of the month for January 2012.
------------------------------------------------------------- |
Radon: Take Action
Though you can’t see, smell or taste radon, it may be present at dangerous levels in your home. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, and causes over 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year.
Is your home safe from the dangers of radon? Luckily, there’s an easy and inexpensive way to find out. Simply buy a do-it-yourself radon test kit, available at any Ace Hardware store. The U.S. Surgeon General recommends that all homes and buildings be tested for radon. If you have a radon level of 4 pCi/L or more, your home may contain dangerous levels of radon.
DID YOU KNOW?
If radon levels in your house are too high, there are steps you or a professional can take to ensure your home is healthy. For more information and resources, contact your state radon office at
www.epa.gov/radon/whereyoulive.html. |

Carlinville's Christmas Market Foundation announced that it will hold an open meeting at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Tuesday, February 7, starting at 7 p.m. The meeting is designed to gauge interest in continuing with the Christmas Market festival in 2012 and beyond.
The meeting will be open to the public, including private citizens, merchants, members of city and county government, and representatives of Carlinvillearea businesses, fraternal organizations, churches, economic development groups, and educational institutions.
According to CCMF President Debbie Zilm, the purpose of the meeting is to determine whether there is enough community support to sustain the December festival in the coming years.
“We have had the Christmas Market in Carlinville for 22 years now, so it seems to be an established tradition. But while the festival itself has grown in terms of attendance, attractions, popularity, and local revenue, financial support from the community prior to the event has been pretty static.
