Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to
try new things. The saddest summary of a
life contains three descriptions:
could have, might have, and should have.

SPECIAL CERTIFICATES HONORING Illinois Valley
Fire District (IVFD) staff and volunteers were presented
by Chief Harry Rich Thursday night, Aug. 10 during a
district board meeting. Those recognized devoted hun-
dreds of hours during the 2005 Deer Creek Conflagra-
tion that began Aug. 25 and was contained Aug. 28,
burning across 1,600 acres of Selma and destroying 12
structures including five homes. Many I.V. firefighters,
said Rich, were on duty for six consecutive days with
little or no rest. Directors (at right) and Rich (kneeling
at front left) shook hands all around. Recognized with
heartfelt thanks were (not in order) Firefighter Phil
Aria, Firefighter Jeff Bradshaw, Firefighter Mary Jane
Clough, Capt. Steve Corwin, Firefighter Lisa Edmunds,
Recognizing
stroke vital
Stroke is the leading
cause of adult disability and
the third-leading cause of
death in America.
In a recent poll con-
ducted by the National
Stroke Association, a third
of men could not recognize
even one stroke symptom.
This is not good news
for men, or the women in
their lives, who are uniquely
affected by stroke. National
Stroke Association’s
“Women in Your Life”
campaign is working to
change these statistics by
educating Americans about
stroke prevention and recog-
nizing stroke symptoms.
