Women of Wellness Offers Quick One-Stop Services
he Women of Wellness program,
provided by Hannibal Regional Med-
ical Group and Hannibal Regional
Hospital, is an integrated approach for
women to receive annual health care ser-
vices in one brief appointment that will last
about an hour. During the appointment,
as recommended by a provider, women
receive a bone density test, gynecological
exam, pap test, and mammogram results.
Mammograms are scheduled in conjunc-
tion with the wellness exam and provided
by Hannibal Regional Hospital Medical Imaging Services.
This service is offered at five convenient Hannibal Regional
Medical Group locations:
Canton: Tuesday, 9:00–11:00 am
Pittsfield: Tuesday, 9:00–11:00 am
Hannibal main campus: 9:00–11:00 am
Monroe City: Wednesday, 1:00–2:00 pm
Shelbina: Thursday, 9:00–11:00 am
Hannibal Regional Hospital
utilizes digital mammography
with computer aided detection to
provide the most accurate screen-
ing and diagnosis of breast disease.
Bone density is checked with a
DEXA scan (dual energy x-ray ab-
sorptiometry.) This painless, quick
procedure is used to screen for
osteoporosis. The gynecological
exam and pap test are performed
by nurse practitioners with Han-
nibal Regional Medical Group.
Most insurances are accepted. However, if you are under
insured or uninsured, are between the ages of 35-64, and meet
the income guidelines, you may be eligible for these tests under
the “Show Me Healthy Women” program. Contact any Hannibal
Regional Medical Group clinic for more information.

Wellness Programs Saving Businesses Money
ellness programs at work are not only good for the
waistline; they’re good for the bottom line. Companies
across the nation are adopting employee wellness
programs to drive down expenses associated with insurance, dis-
ability claims, workers’ compensation, and absenteeism. In fact,
Johnson & Johnson adopted a corporate wellness program in
1995 and have since seen a two-thirds reduction in smokers, but
companies do not need to have the Johnson & Johnson budget to
start such a program.
Abby Schlipmann,
Corporate Wellness
Coordinator at Quincy
Medical Group, will
coordinate a wellness
program to companies
at little to no cost and
customize the services
based on the com-
pany’s needs.
A wellness program
can be as simple or
comprehensive as the
company size, em-
ployee number, and
goals dictate or allow.
Schlipmann says,
“These programs can
include stress manage-
ment, health screen-
ings, fitness programs,
insurance education,
nutrition, and tobacco
cessation. It is really a
cafeteria-style plan for businesses to choose and customize their
specific needs. Some companies may just need flu shots; others
may need a wellness makeover. And it doesn’t matter if the com-
pany has 10 or 1,000 employees; we can provide any and all our
services to them.”
Quincy Medical Group can help employees and their families
reach personal health goals through fitness classes, workshops,
nutritional guidance, and more; and all of these programs can
be held on-site at the convenience of the company. Additional
benefits include corporate memberships to local fitness centers,
online personal wellness tracking, and progress reports.
The American Association of Occupational Health Nurses
conducted an employee survey, and found that over 75% of
wellness program participants perceived the program as a good
way to improve their health, and over 60% of the participants
consider the programs an incentive to stay with the company.
A paper in the December 2010 Harvard Business Review found
that the return on each dollar a large company invests in an
employee wellness program can be as high as $6.
A full-service, comprehensive plan would begin with col-
lecting biometric data from all participants and using this data
to populate a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) to determine the
company’s needs based
on the employee profile.
HRA’s are the best way to
determine what kind of
workplace wellness pro-
gram intervention will
hold the highest likeli-
hood of success, measure
its progress, and track
the changes in health of
the aggregate employee
population. Every com-
pany’s wellness goals and
priorities will be different
based on the employee
profile, and Quincy Medi-
cal Group will individual-
ize the program to best-
suit these goals.
Quincy Medical
Group adopted an em-
ployee wellness program
and can attest to its
success. In the first year,
over 75% of employees
participated. Many employees have since quit smoking, lost
weight, and excercised 30 minutes five times a week. Bob John-
son, Executive Director of Human Resources for Quincy Medi-
cal Group, says, “Because our employee number was over 500
people, we wanted to lead as a corporate citizen and as a health
care provider. Our wellness program has created a work environ-
ment of people who feel valued because we are doing everything
we can to provide them with the tools to reach their personal
wellness goals. On top of that, we can measure the benefits from
the program, including decreased health care costs and ab-
senteeism. This is a comprehensive program designed to assist
individuals in meeting their wellness goals.” For a complete list
of wellness services, contact Abby Schlipmann at 222-6550 ext.
“Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation is so appreciative of
the overwhelming support we have received for this event over the
last two years. We look forward to another great year,” said Wendy
Harrington, President/CEO of Hannibal Regional Hospital Founda-
tion.
In addition to the golf classic, the steering committee has worked with the Han-
nibal Cavemen to have Hall of Fame celebrities as guests during the game on June
12th against the Quincy Gems. The Hall of Famers will be available at the game to
sign autographs and meet fans.
“This event is not only a great deal of fun
combining two favorite summer pastimes,
but it also contributes back to our community
through proceeds made during the Shoeless
Joe’s two-day event,” commented Randy Park,
member of the steering committee. “We already
have several commitments from our Missouri
Sports Hall of Famers including former St. Louis
Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Roy-
als and others.”
The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame secured
over 30 sports celebrities and Hall of Famers
last year who enjoyed interacting with fans at
the ball park and playing with HRHF donors in
the Shoeless Joe’s Golf Classic.
The Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation
Heart to Heart campaign is raising funds for
a state of the art digital cardiac network. This
network will unite the region in a digital cardiac
network connecting patients and doctors in
seconds, saving lives and creating a healthier
community. For more information about the
third annual Shoeless Joe’s Celebrity Golf Clas-
sic or to register a team, contact Hannibal
Regional Hospital Foundation at 573-629-3577
or visit hrhf.org.
The benefit concert will be performed on
the Kawai grand piano graciously on loan
from the family of Jason Dugger, Andrew’s
piano instructor and friend.

he Loafers Car Club extends an open invitation to all car
enthusiasts to attend the 17th annual Loafers Car Show
on Saturday May 12. The show will be held in historic
downtown Hannibal, and will bring more than 275 historic and
special interest vehicles to our town. Cars will be displayed until
mid afternoon. Spectators are welcome anytime, and there is no
admission charge.
Registration is
$20 from 8:00 am
until noon. Due to
their popularity,
an additional class
was added this
year for Mustangs
from 1964 ½ to
1973. Trophies will
be awarded to the
top three vehicles
in each of the 32 judged classes. In addition, there will be eight
special awards and a large assortment of door prizes. This year
a restored antique gas pump from the ’50s will be raffled off
at the show. A total of only 530 raffle tickets will be sold at $10
each and are currently available from Loafers club members.
Any remaining tickets will be sold at the show. The winner is not
required to be present, and
the pump will be delivered
free within 100 miles.
A wide range of vehicles
will participate in the show,
including antiques, classics, street
rods, lead sleds, rat rods, Mus-
tangs, Corvettes, imports, and
more. A car that got a lot of atten-
tion in 2011 and placed second in
the import class was a 1956 Mess-
erschmitt KR200 owned by Steve
and Gen Lenoch of Coralville,
IA. This year Mr. Lenoch will be
bringing his newly restored, rare
1958 BMW Isetta 300.
Local businesses will be open and encourage spectators and
car show participants to visit their shops. Children may engage
in Hot Wheels “racing.”
The Loafers Car Club is a not-for-profit organization with
the goal of giving back to the community while preserving and
enjoying historical automobiles. The public is invited to at-
tend, at no charge, the main events of the year. Events include
the April through October Hot Dog Cruise-in, sponsored by
County Market and AutoZone and held in the Steamboat Bend
Shopping Center the first Saturday evening each month; the
annual Car Show held in May in downtown Hannibal; and
the Reunion Cruise-in held each September in the Huck Finn
Shopping Center.
Donations received during these events are used for vari-
ous charitable causes, such as Leaps of Love (helps childhood
cancer families), scholarships for two graduating high school
students who are planning to continue their education in an
automotive related field, the Great River Honor Flight, and other
needy causes.
Individual club members all have a common interest of ve-
hicles that are propelled by the internal combustion engine. There
is a considerable variety of members’ background and involve-
ment in restoring or maintaining their vehicles. Although some
members are professional mechanics and body/repair-shop own-
ers, most members “farm out” some or all aspects of the work.
Loafers membership is open to everyone; however, to
become a member a person must be sponsored by an existing
member, have a special interest or historic car or truck, and be
willing to assist in the various activities of the club.

t’s kind of like an itch, but in the back of your mind where you
can’t scratch it. For me, it’s akin to the feeling I get when the
creative juices start to flow but haven’t taken form yet. There’s a
crescendo of expectation, a sense that anything is possible.
It’s called spring fever and—guess what!—I don’t have it. Every-
one seems to have it but me. When the bulbs starting peeking up out
of the ground, the kids were delighted. The forsythia bloomed, and
folks cheefully announced to each other that it was time to plant.
Me? I was annoyed. Annoyed with spring.
I couldn’t figure it out. What was wrong with me? After all, I re-
ally like having the windows open. My favorite temperature is 60–70
degrees. (Warmer than that I start gasping, “Too hot! Too hot!”)
Finally, as I stood glaring at the weeds in my flower garden and
enjoying the cool breeze on my face, it hit me: I’ve been really, really
busy lately, and spring means even more work. I’m just not in the
mood for more work right now.
My husband has begun puttering contentedly around the lawn,
dropping not so subtle hints that my rose garden is looking a little
rough. He’s been making noises about cleaning the garage and wants
to pare down my lumber stash. Is he kidding? I may need that.
The kids are asking when I’m going to finish painting their fort...
and add a door and shutters and a rope bucket and a canopy on

top... Good grief.
No more excuses for ignoring all those projects that I could
cheerfully put on the back burner during the cold months. No,
spring decided to come early this year. Bummer.
My 75-year-old neighbor was outside the other day on a lad-
der, cleaning all her windows. Et tu, neighbor? Does everyone
have to show me up?
Forget window cleaning. I can’t even keep up with the regular
housekeeping. We have dust creatures. They’ve evolved way be-
yond dust bunnies into something considerably more menacing.
I’ve told the kids to make a running leap into bed—the creatures
lurking under there may become aggressive, even carnivorous.
Best not to take any chances. And keep a flashlight under your
pillow, just in case. (Don’t worry, they’ll grow up to be perfectly
normal adults.)
Then again, isn’t that why we have a cat? Do your darned
job, Captain Cat! You’re brave enough to stalk garden bunnies,
so why not dust bunnies? If you’d done your job before they
mutated, this would be a non-issue. Sheesh.
So what’s on my list? Let’s see. New living room baseboards.
Finish the hall baseboards. Repair plaster. Paint. Finish trim
work in boys’ room. Paint. Sew office curtains. Paint office
shelves I built but never finished. Fix bathroom
ceiling. Paint.
Outside, caulk the fort. And paint. Put door
and shutters on fort so rain doesn’t continue to
soak pint sized assault gear. Get someone to bust up that ugly
concrete. Lay attractive flagstones. Repair and paint the fence.
Help clean out the garage (no, not the lumber).
Then there’s the gardening. I want to put in a raised bed for
vegetables. The roses need pruning already. Wild onions are
overwhelming the beds, and there are some bare spots in the
garden that need color. Daisies could be nice.
Ah, spring.
Followed by summer. When it’s above 70 degrees. A lot.
Yep, I’d better get to work. Spring doesn’t last forever,
you know.
Why does it have to be so fleeting? The flowers are lovely,
and bumble bees make me smile. My cherry tree is gorgeous in
bloom. The fresh air feels great and smells sweet. The birds are
singing cheerfully. I think I’ll sit outside with Captain Cat and a
nice, cool beverage, soaking it all in.
Maybe my neighbor will be so overcome by spring fever that
she offers to clean my windows, too. Anything’s possible.

Can You Tell Termites from Winged Ants?
t’s hard to tell the difference between flying ants and swarm-
ing termites. Swarms of either (and sometimes both) can
occur at this time of year, so it’s important to know if those
gossamer wings glimmering on your windowsill are cause for
further investigation.
Flying termites indicate a potentially serious problem. Flying
ants can also indicate
a problem, although
not as serious.
If you’re the curi-
ous type, and want to
know what insect is
leaving wings behind,
here is an easy way to
tell: Flying ants have
an hourglass figure,
with a tiny waist. Fly-
ing termites have no waist. All termites have antennae that look
like a string of beads. Ants have elbowed antennae.
Termite swarmers have two pairs of long narrow wings; both
the front and back pair are equal in size and length. Winged
ants have two pairs of wings; the back pair is much shorter than
the front pair.
Flying ants could be carpenter ant reproductives or another
species. While carpenter ants can’t digest cellulose, they are
attracted to areas with a lot of moisture and often nest in wood
that is or has been moist. They hollow the wood out for nesting,
and excavate galleries that have a smooth, sanded appearance.
Unlike termites, who pack the galleries with mud, carpenter
ants excavate their shredded fragments of wood into little piles
of what look like pencil sharpener shavings. If any ants are ac-
tive in the house it is time for an inspection.
Termites, with their incredible appetites for cellulose and
ability to damage structures, are one of the least desirable pests.
It’s at this time of year, when sunshine follows a spring rain-
fall, that swarms of winged reproductive subterranean termites
leave their colonies to establish new homes.
The prolific reproductive behavior of termites means that
new colonies will rapidly increase in numbers. Depending
on where they’re established, they may chew their way into
your home. If they’re not intercepted, they can cause eventual
damage resulting in thousands of dollars in repair work. In the
United States, termites are found in 49 of the states and cause
more than $2 billion of damage every year—much more than all
the storms and fires combined.
If you’ve spotted swarmers in your home you should call a
professional pest expert and have a complete inspection!
The specialist will be able to determine if the pest are termite
swarmers or ants, the extent of your problem, and specific rec-
ommendations to correct them. Your home will not fall down
overnight, so take the time to learn about the potential options
you may have for correction.
Be sure to deal with a company who is recommended by
neighbors and friends. Ask for references and check them out.
Be sure to have exactly what will be done and with what mate-
rial and why. Verify that the firm you select is a licensed and
insured pest control company. Ask about a warranty for the
treatment and if it is extendable and transferable.
Be wary of “bargain” treatments that may not provide the
level of protection you need. Seek value; avoid making decisions
based solely on price. Compare written proposals, chemical
treatment methods and experience in treating your home.
