Health Department inoculate 500 at drive-thru vaccine clinic By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It was a very cold and rainy day on Friday, Jan. 15, but around 20 Greene County Health Department staff and volunteers braved the cold and rain to vaccinate around 500 Greene County residents with the COVID-19 vaccine in a drive-thru clinic at the KC Hall in Carrollton. The clinic was for residents 80 and over and for those health-care workers, teachers, law enforcement and any others in the essential worker tiers who might have missed their vaccine in the first go-around. “We received 500 doses of the vaccine on Thursday morning, and we called and scheduled them all that day,� Greene County Health Department Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said. “On Friday, all 500 doses were given. We are proud of our staff and volunteers – not a single complaint of being in the cold and wind.� Health department workers were aided in the process of administering the vaccine by school nurses as well as

staff from Pharmacy Plus. Students from the schools acted as runners taking water and snacks to workers and those waiting in cars. Appointments were scheduled for every 15 minutes, and while it was cold and wet, vaccine recipients never had to leave the warmth of their car. They drove around to the back of the KC Hall where they were met by one group of volunteers who took their information. They then drove around where they were met by Peters who directed them to one of three tents where they received their vaccine. After receiving their vaccine, they were directed to wait in a line for 15 minutes to see if they were going to have any adverse reactions to the vaccine. They were then allowed to leave. “Our staff were thrilled with the outcome of completing all 500 vaccinations,� Peters said. “We are proud of the community and volunteers that made this drive-thru a success. We are making big strides and will be planning for our next allocation of the vaccine.� (See, CLINIC, A2)

Health Department employee Tracy Whitlock prepares another vaccine to be given Friday afternoon in one of three tents set up in the parking lot of the KC Hall in Carrollton for the Greene County Health Department’s drive-thru COVID-19 vaccine clinic for those 80 and older. The Health Department received 500 doses of the vaccine and distributed all 500 doses on that same day. The next drive-thru clinic will be for those 65 and older.

Carrollton earmarks CURES money for equipment replacement By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After some discussion, the Carrollton City Council took the suggestion of its treasurer and placed $60,000 of the CURES money it received in its General Fund account earmarked for equipment replacement. “This account is a committed fund earmarked as a savings program that the city uses for future purchases of significant pieces of equipment for the city,� City Treasurer Debbie Dunlap said. “When we started this program in the fall of 2017, the equipment in the street department was already partially through their life span, so obviously you don’t have the ability to throw thousands on that line item. So now, we have been for-

tunate through this reimbursement program to use a portion of that money as a catch-up on some of these line items for this purpose.� Dunlap is referring to the $102,000 the city received through the CURES grant back in October. Though originally to be used for COVID-related expenses by municipalities, requirements were changed to include the salaries of police officers as deductible expenses. Also, originally, municipalities were required to purchase the items and then “hope� they would be reimbursable as “COVID-related� items. When it was changed to include police officer salaries, the money went directly into a municipality’s General Fund and could therefore be spent on whatever they felt necessary. Carrollton used a portion of their

funds to purchase computers for the city, a new phone system and other items. Dunlap wanted the remainder to go towards the Equipment Replacement Program. However, Alderman Tim Reif had reservations about earmarking the money for this purpose. “We talked all year about how to cut costs and not buy things that were not necessary, and it kind of makes me nervous to take $60,000 that we wouldn’t have had otherwise if it weren’t for the CURES Act to take out of the General Fund and earmark it for equipment,� he said. “We may need it for something else later on because once it is earmarked for equipment that is where it is at. We don’t know what is going to happen down the road.� Dunlap said she understood.

Greene Prairie Press

“That is a good point, however the monies are a reimbursement (for police salaries), and we already paid those expenses, so that reimbursement was like an inflow of money that we did not expect in the fiscal year,� she said. “We still have set aside $44,000 to spend on necessary items, and a portion of that we have already spent. If you choose not to follow this plan that is the council’s decision.� Reif said he didn’t know if the council had anything in particular they wanted to spend the money on but that he was just nervous to have the money earmarked for one specific purpose and not have it available for use should an emergency arise and be needed elsewhere.

No snow – make your own The second-grade class at St. Johns in Carrollton was busy last week learning why snow was white and making their own snowflakes since it seems we aren’t going to get any real snow any time soon. Jack Evans (in the back) and Adam Crotchett (in the front) are busy working on their snowflakes while learning that God created each human to be unique and special in their own way, just as each snowflake is unique and special in its own way.

After nearly two years following the completion of the pipeline through the county, however, Spire has continued to refuse to repair or reimburse the county for the damage caused to the county roads and bridges – damage that amounts to nearly $2 million, the board alleges. The Greene County Board turned the matter over to the law firm of Brown, Hay and Stevens who have gotten nowhere in negotiations with Spire’s attorneys. At the Jan. 13 board meeting, Board Member Chris Elliott asked Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe to be in attendance to give an update on where the matter was concerning Spire. “We are at the point where we need to make a decision,� Briscoe said. “We either take their last offer or we file a suit against them. We are not going to get anywhere further in negotiations with them – it is useless to try. We are not getting anywhere.�

According to David Willenburg, Carrollton Township Road Commissioner, all of the townships in the county have banded together and hired an attorney through the Township Officials of Illinois. “This attorney isn’t costing us anything and only gets paid if he gets us a settlement from Spire,� Willenburg said. “How much has the county already spent on your guy - $20,000 to $30,000? And you’ve gotten nowhere. Our attorney is willing to take you guys on too.� Elliott said while it was all the same project, there are two sets of finances to consider – those of the townships and those of the county. “You have the township roads that were damaged – that is a different set of circumstances and finances than the county roads that were damaged and county highway finances,� Elliott said. “Township finances are not controlled by the county board.� In other words, if the entities went in together, dividing the settlement may prove tricky since both entities are responsible for their own respective roadways. Board Member Joyce Clark said that the board needed to consider its citizens and that the current firm is costing them money with no results. The county turned in just under $2 million in damages, and Spire’s offer was just under $300,000. (See, SPIRE, A5)

Maybe we need a break from COVID-19 By BILL HOAGLAND Most of my columns recently have been about COVID-19 in one way or another. Maybe we need a break. Maybe we need to get as far away from that subject as we possibly can — at least for a week anyway. And the farthest we can get away from that subject, literally speaking, is to talk about “outer space.” In other words, let’s talk briefly about what we know, at this point, about the outer limits of “outer space,” and why we are about to discover much more about it. In 2016, astrophysicists, utilizing the Hubble Space Telescope, located a galaxy believed to be not only the oldest galaxy in the universe but also the galaxy that is furthest away from us out in the hinterlands of the universe. This galaxy has been given the name “GN-z11” and is believed to be 13.4 billion light years away from us. Expressed another way, 13.4 billion light years would be 134 “nonillion” kilometers

Clinic

away from us. And in case you are wondering, a “nonillion” is a bigger number than a billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion or even an octillion; a “nonillion” is a standard number followed by 30 zeros. Wow. It makes the head spin. In short, the GN-z11 galaxy is a long way away; the light we now see in the telescope when looking at that galaxy left there 13.4 billion years ago. And it appears that this galaxy is moving even further away from our galaxy (as are all galaxies) as time goes on. Scientists believe that it was formed 400 million years after “The Big Bang,” and that is why it continues to be moving away from us. Being able to study GN-z11 and these other earliest galaxies as they were forming allows us to better determine the physical process by which the universe developed in the first place. While we don’t know what might be out there beyond GN-z11, we may soon find out. That’s because on Oct.

31, 2021, NASA is launching the James Webb Space Telescope, which will basically put the most powerful space telescope ever built into orbit. This will be an orbit around the sun, believe it or not, in a path that at some points in the orbit will be a million miles from earth. By getting beyond the earth’s atmosphere with this orbit, scientists will for the first time potentially be able to view the universe even beyond GN-z11. But the outer reaches of our universe are not the only area of focus for this telescope. Among other issues, it will be searching for more exoplanets where humans might some day survive – for those of you who have expressed an interest in living elsewhere. If this launch is success-

ful, the year 2021 will be the starting point for a new era of astrophysics. The James Webb Space Telescope already has its own web site (www.jwst. nasa.gov), and they predict on the site that the information developed as a result of this project will “fundamentally alter our understanding of the universe.” Stay tuned. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

computer at a cost of $650 for the back office where the officers go when they are not in the patrol car. “The guy who put the computer in our patrol car also does desktop computers and does them for all the local police departments around here as well,” McCartney said. “His bid was about $350 lower than the bids Debbie (Dunlap) got. The thing I like about him is that they maintain the Jacksonville, Roodhouse, South Jacksonville and Jersey County police departments’ computers, so they do a lot of police stuff and know about our report writing system and all that.” His final request was for hiring two new part-time officers, to be used as-needed. One of them is long-time police officer Chris Dawdy. Dawdy is a former White Hall Police Officer who is now an officer with the Capitol Police Force in Springfield. The other one is JJ Whicker, also from White Hall. “Officer Dawdy was a part-time officer with us in the past, but when he took the job with the Capitol Police, they wouldn’t let them work for anyone else so he had to give up working for us,” McCartney said. “They are letting them work part time again, so he is wanting to come back. JJ Whicker is a younger officer but he is very gung ho. They are both very good officers. They will save us on overtime — if we don’t use them it won’t cost us anything.” Public Works Director Steve Rosentreter informed the council about a program through Courtmoney that will allow the city to accept debit and credit card payments for the water bills that will not cost the city anything. “This is basically a thirdparty credit card company that will allow us to take payments online, over the phone or in person via debit or credit card,” Rosentreter said. “It doesn’t cost the city a penny, and they take care of any disputes that may arise with a customer.” All costs associated with use of the debit or credit card are to the customer. There is a $1.75 fee for any water bill up to $50, so anyone with a minimum water bill of $45 will pay $46.75. For those whose bill is over $50, they will pay 3.5 percent which is added to

their bill. So, a water bill of $100 will see an additional $3.50 charge added to their bill for use of the service. “It is just time for us to move into a new era,” Rosentreter said. “We are one of the few municipalities who are not able to take debit or credit cards right now, and with COVID still going on and people not getting out as much, I think now is a good time to implement this.” Rosentreter noted this is just another option for Carrollton water customers. Residents can still come into the office to pay their bill by check, money order or cash, or they can still have their bill taken out each month via direct debit through their bank. The council approved signing up with Courtmoney and Rosentreter, who said the program should be up and running within a week. Cemetery Board Member John Quandt asked the board to appoint Mary Crotchett to replace Kenny Kallal on the board, who had resigned, which they did. Quandt also asked the council to come out and tour the cemetery as there were several areas of the cemetery in need of repair. The council went into closed session to discuss personnel. There were two items up for discussion – a raise for Dunlap and approval of a compensation package for Chief of Police (McCartney), Public Works Director (Rosentreter) and Treasurer (Dunlap). All of these positions are non-union positions and all are appointed positions. After a 45-minute closed session, Mayor Joe Montanez announced that the motion to approve the raise for Dunlap would be discussed later and they moved on to the compensation package, which was proposed by Alderman Shane Carter and approved by the council. This compensation package included increasing the compensation for the above three employees’ cell phone reimbursement from $30 to $60 per month, effective Jan. 1. Also, effective May 1, a three-percent increase, with a possibility of an additional one-percent increase, on a satisfactory annual performance review, which will be done in January by the Personnel Committee and approved by the City Council was approved.

The council adjourned without bringing up the raise for Dunlap again. Both McCartney and Rosentreter were hired in the latter part of 2020 following the retirement of former Public Works Director Mike Snyder and former Police Chief Terry Gross. Dunlap has been city treasurer for around eight years and was appointed to the position when Mayor David Stendeback took over from Mayor Tim Brannan.

CURES (Continued from A1) Dunlap said perhaps it would help if she were to explain the different types of funds, especially the committed fund, which is what this $60,000 would fall under. “There are four classifications of funds – assigned, unassigned, restricted and committed,” she said. “The last two, restricted and committed, are the funds that are most controlled.” The restricted funds are funds like the tax levy, social security or IMRF, and those items can only be used for those purposes. “Committed funds is money committed to a certain fund by an action of the council,” Dunlap said. “So, we are saying we are going to commit funds in this particular account to be used for these particular purposes, and they can only be used for those particular purposes if you are following the direction of the council. However, the council can come and say, ‘I am going to take money out of this account and use it for this purpose.’ So, you can move that money out and you can use it, but I cannot use that money for anything but its intended purpose.” In other words, it will take an action of the council to take the money out of this committed fund in the future should the city need to use those funds now that they have been placed in this account. “So, if COVID made another surge and we lost revenue and next fall, we have trouble making payroll, we can pull this money back out and use it,” Reif asked. “I agree this program works – I just wanted to make sure we could make sure we could still get to it if we needed it.” Police Chief Mike McCartney made a request for the purchase of a 2020 Stalker radar unit for the 2020 police vehicle at a cost of $795, which the council approved. “The one we have in it now is 26 years old, and it hasn’t worked right in quite a while now,” he said. “The guy who comes in and tests them said it could be fixed, but it would be about $450. With its age, you could fix it and something else could go wrong and it would be like putting money into a dead horse. I went out and got bids and this $795 was the cheapest.” They also approved a new

(Continued from A1) There are several ways one can get put on the list to receive the vaccine. The State of Illinois has developed a tier system as to who receives the vaccine and in what order. After the essential workers, such as those in healthcare, law enforcement and other first responders, the next group were the elderly, followed by those over 65, which Greene County is getting ready to start on with their next allotment, then everyone else. The health department has a link, both on their website and on their Facebook page, which users can click on to register to be put on the list for the vaccine. A series of questions are asked which will let the health department know which classification the person falls under and they will be contacted when it is their turn to receive the vaccine. Individuals can also call the Health Department to be put on the list. Peters said folks shouldn’t worry if they do not receive a call back from the health department immediately. “If you leave a message to be put on the wait list, please understand that it will take some time to return your call, but that actions are being taken behind the scenes to make sure you will be called when the vaccine is available,” Peters said. “But please be sure to answer our call when it does come.” One question that many who have taken the vaccine

are asking is when they can visit with their loved ones mask free without fear of contracting COVID-19. Peters said for now it is better to be safe than sorry. “Experts need to understand more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide in realworld conditions,” she said. “It will be important to continue wearing a mask over your nose and mouth, staying six-feet away from others, avoiding crowds, poorly ventilated spaces and continuing to wash your hands often for now.” Just because there is a vaccine now doesn’t mean COVID-19 is over – far from it. As of Jan. 18, Greene County has had 131 cases, which is an average of a little over 7 new cases per day. On Jan. 16, the Health Department’s last post, they had 45 active cases in the county with 41 deaths. According to the IDPH website, which lists data three days behind the current date, on Jan. 15, Region 3 is down to a positivity rate of 5.7 percent with Greene County’s positivity rate hanging up there at 11.9 percent. This 11.9 percent is up two whole percentage points from three days earlier on Jan. 9 when it was at 9.9 percent. Comparing Greene to surrounding counties, Morgan County is at a low 2.6 percent positivity rate while neighboring Jersey County is sitting at 7.5 percent. Calhoun is at 9.6 percent and both Pike and Macoupin are at 8.1 percent while Scott is at 6.6 percent.

Carrollton accepts bid for water tower By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton received two bids for its new water tower, and on the advice of its engineer, Benton and Associates, the city accepted the low bid from Caldwell Tank at their Jan. 14 council meeting. Jaime Headon, with Benton and Associates, said there are three or four primary contractors in the Midwest and the city received bids from the top two, so that was a good thing. The other bid was from McGuire, and the bids ranged from $1.76 million for McGuire to $1.65 million from Caldwell Tanks. These bids are good for a period of 90 days. Part of Benton and Associates’ job is to make sure the company meets all of the requirements for the job since the project is being funded through a loan through the Environmental Protection Agency which has certain requirements which must be met. “Both contractors met the enterprise goals of 11.4 percent minority employment and 6.9 percent women employees,� Headon said. “In general, both contractors had a very complete set of bids.� The low bidder, Caldwell Tanks, is very active in this area and all across the country.

“We checked their references and they are pretty good,� Headon said. “On top of that, we have had a number of tanks that Caldwell Tanks has done on our past projects as well, and they are qualified to do the work.� However, there is one problem. The bids were higher than were anticipated when the project was first talked about two years ago. “If we look back to Phase I, the estimated cost was about $98,500 per year as far as the loan payment,� Headon said. “As a reminder, the terms the city is set to get with the Illinois EPA is 1.04 percent interest for a 20-year note at this point, so that is a very favorable interest rate. Originally, we first talked about just under $100,000 per year, and with these additional costs, we are looking at $110,000 per year payment so slightly higher yet still pretty close to the budget amount.� Fortunately, residents do not have to worry about seeing a big increase in their bill to pay for the additional costs. “I went through the budget with the treasurer and the revenue we have been receiving, I think we are in good shape,� he said. “We are not exceeding this amount by a lot, but we are planning for the future with the water plant so we are in that phase approach as we are moving

along here.� The biggest cause of the increase in the cost of the water tower is the increase in the cost of steel. “I talked with the contractor, and steel prices over the last couple months went up 20 cents per pound,� Headon said. “So, you can imagine how much a project like this can increase.� Another cause for the increase is the rate of unemployment in Illinois. Right now, the rate of unemployment in Illinois is over five percent. Under the terms of the contract, 90 percent of the project has to be done by Illinois residents, other than some of the specialty work, so this is affecting the bids. The notice of intent that the council passed allows Benton and Associates to submit the bid from Caldwell Tank to the EPA who will review the bid and then generate the loan agreement. That loan agreement will then come back to the city council in around 30 to 45 days at which time the council will take action on this loan agreement. Once the loan agreement is finalized and returned to the EPA, then the project can proceed. The city is looking at an early spring start on the project, which will be approximately a year-long project, so they are looking at a completion date of possibly June 2022.

Deep Calling unto Deep “Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.� Psalm 42:7 NIV

T

here is something deep within us which longs for communion with God. As the psalmist tells us: “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.� (Psalm 42:1-2 NIV) There is something deeply mysterious, but also deeply comforting in this, to know that in our innermost being there is something which seeks its creator. Perhaps a better metaphor is that our souls contain a lock for which God is the key. How wonderful that God speaks to us in the depths of our souls, from the depths of His being. How blessed we are to taste and see and hear God so directly. These experiences of God within us are usually powerful and transformative. Our bodies, our minds, and our souls can hardly

contain the experience of God, and so our hearts overflow with gratitude. The experience often drives home the frailty and puniness of our human bodies, and makes us aware of the deeper treasure within: “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.� (2Corinthians 4:7 NIV) That God calls to us and we to Him in the depths of our souls gives our faith a firm foundation and makes us feel at home in an otherwise uncaring world. –Christopher Simon

Youth Wingshooting Clinics to be held at Pere Marquette

Young hunters between the ages of 10 and 17 can apply now for the Youth Wingshooting Clinics and Pheasant Hunts scheduled for Saturday, March 6, 2021 at Pere Marquette State Park in Jersey County and Saturday, March 20, 2021 at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex (WSRC) in Randolph County. All participants in the clinics and hunts will be required to follow all health and safety guidelines issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health, including wearing masks when social distancing cannot be achieved, and carrying and using hand sanitizer. The Pere Marquette and WSRC youth clinics and hunts have been popular late winter/early spring additions to the IDNR Wingshooting and Youth Pheasant Hunting programs. Most youth pheasant hunting opportunities are offered at IDNR Controlled Pheasant Hunting Areas in the fall or early winter. During the events March 6 and March 20, young hunters will participate in wingshooting clinics during the morning. National

Sporting Clays Association/ IDNR Certified Wingshooting Instructors will teach the wingshooting clinics. Young hunters will practice safe shotgun handling and operation while advancing their wingshooting skills. The pheasant hunts will take place during the afternoon. Young hunters must have successfully completed an approved Hunter Safety Course and have a valid hunting license to participate. Co-sponsors will assist the IDNR, Pere Marquette State Park, and the WSRC with the wingshooting clinics and pheasant hunts. Co-sponsors provide funding for the clay targets, target and field shot shells, and lunch for the young hunters. Through the assistance of some of their members, co-sponsors also provide bird dogs, bird dog handlers, and hunting guides. At Pere Marquette, the 2020 co-sponsors included Alwerdt’s Pheasant Farm, Altamont, Illinois; Bollini Taxidermy; Channel-Seedsmanship At Work; Clemens Insurance; Ducks Unlimited - Jersey County Chapter; Friends of Pere Marquette State Park; Fur Takers of

America; Green Roof Kennels; the Illinois Federation of Outdoor Resources; the Illinois National Shoot-ToRetrieve Field Trial Association; Migratory Waterfowl Hunters; the National Wild Turkey Federation - Midwest Gobblers Chapter; Olin/Winchester; Pfister Seed Company; Quail Forever – Illinois Pioneer Chapter; Todd Parish - Attorney At Law and Ward Financial Services and WhitworthHorn-Goetten Insurance Agency. At the WSRC, co-sponsors have included Friends of the WSRC; National Wild Turkey Federation – Randolph County Cutters and Strutters Chapter and the Okaw Valley Beagle Club. Permits for the Pere Marquette and WSRC Youth Wingshooting Clinics/ Pheasant Hunts are available through the IDNR Controlled Pheasant Hunting Internet Reservation System. Hunters need to review the “Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt Information� and the “Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt Regulations� on the IDNR controlled pheasant hunting webpage prior to applying.

Illinois case of the COVID-19 variant confirmed

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced the first case in Illinois of the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 first identified in the United Kingdom. The case was identified by the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine through sequencing analysis of a specimen from bio-banked samples of COVID-19 positive tests. The new strain was first identified in the United States about two weeks ago in Colorado and has since been identified in several other states. Evidence suggests that this variant can spread more easily than most currently-circulating strains of COVID-19, but there is no evidence that the new strain affects the sensitivity of diagnostic tests or that it causes more severe illness or increased risk of death. In addition, data suggest current vaccines will be effective and safe in providing protection against the variant. “This news isn’t surprising and doesn’t change our guidance around COVID19. We must double down on the recommended safety strategies we know help stop the spread of this virus,� CDPH Commissioner Allison Arwady, M.D. said. CDPH, IDPH and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with various public health agencies, are closely monitoring this strain. “When we learned of this and other COVID-19 variants, we increased our surveillance efforts by performing genomic sequence testing on an increased number of specimens,� IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “We will continue to col-

laborate with our academic partners, local health departments like CDPH, hospitals, and the CDC to monitor for additional cases.� A follow-up case investigation by CDPH found that the individual had traveled to the UK and the Middle East in the 14 days prior to the diagnosis. CDPH has worked to identify close contacts of the individual to reinforce the importance of adherence with quarantine and isolation measures. CDPH is also working with the CDC and IDPH to contribute to national SARSCoV-2 strain surveillance. Building regional capacity and coordination for this more advanced, specialized molecular laboratory public health work is a top priority for CDPH. Last year, prior to the detection of this variant, CDPH awarded $3 million to lay the groundwork for a Regional Innovative Public Health Laboratory, in partnership with Rush University Medical Center and working with laboratories and academic centers across the City, to increase public health surveillance of possible COVID-19 variants in the Chicago region. “It is important to monitor the spread of virus variants,� Dr. Egon Ozer, an assistant professor of medicine in infectious diseases at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said. “We expected this variant to show up eventually. We will continue to sequence and study these samples.� Some data show a higher concentration of the virus in the respiratory tract for the UK variant that could be related to a higher infectivity and easier spread of the variant, but this needs to be confirmed, Ozer said. Some modeling and molecu-

lar data also seem to indicate the variant may attach more strongly to the receptor of the human cell, but this also remains under study. Importantly, no data suggests an increased severity of illness, and early studies have shown the vaccine is still effective against this variant. The COVID-19 virus – also known as SARS-CoV-2 – like other viruses, constantly changes through mutation, and new variants of a virus are expected to occur over time. According to the CDC, this variant is estimated to have first emerged in the UK during September 2020. Other novel variants of SARS-CoV-2, which also might change the way the virus transmits or behaves, have been identified in South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Japan and the US. More novel strains are likely to be identified in the coming weeks and months. As a pre-cautionary measure, the CDC earlier this week announced that all international passengers headed to the United States will first need to show proof of a negative coronavirus test, a policy which goes into effect on Jan. 26. The new policy requires all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, to get a test for current infection within the three days before their flight to the United States departs, and to provide written documentation of their test results or proof of having recovered from Covid-19. Everyday preventive actions by the public can help to slow the spread of all known COVID-19 variants, including wearing a mask, washing hands often, staying six feet away from others and avoiding crowds, avoiding non-essential travel and getting vaccinated when it is your turn.

January showers These showers aren’t going to bring May flowers. All these showers are going to bring is the street department workers out to repair them. Paul Van Meter, with the White Hall Street Department, sits in the cab Monday afternoon working the backhoe digging up the street surrounding a leak in White Hall so work crews can repair it. Because of old pipes, White Hall city crews are quite used to being called out to make repairs.

Spire (Continued from A1) “Our attorney made the last reach out to Spire, and they wouldn’t budge,” Briscoe said. “They aren’t going to keep reaching out without more direction from the board, and they have kind of let it hang out there. They approached me and asked me what we wanted them to do.” Elliott said the county has too much invested with the current attorney to just drop them without giving them a chance. “I want to hear what they have to say,” he said. “Plus, I have to wonder about a firm that solicits for business through someone else.” Briscoe said that by law, an attorney can’t solicit for business, but it would be beneficial if the county were on board with the townships instead of the Spire being able to work the two entities against each other. Board Member Regan Joehl said now is the time to get a plan of attack and suggested that both the attorney from Brown, Hay and Stevens and the townships’ attorney be in attendance at the February board meeting. On another Spire-related issue, prior to the discussion of the attor-

neys, Earlene Castleberry, who was chairing the meeting in the absence of Board Chairman Mark Strang, said that Strang wanted her to familiarize herself with the Spire issue. “Mark and I talked about the Spire update, and he asked me if I would look into that as a set of new eyes and meet with Diane (Hendricks) next week to look at all the correspondence between Spire and the County Highway Department,” Castleberry said. “I know Mark is not in favor of spending a lot more money on the attorney representing us because he feels like we are getting nowhere.” Elliott had a major problem with this. “I would say that I don’t agree, and I would take issue with someone looking into that who is not in transportation,” he said. “Transportation has been dealing with this from the get-go, and without saying anything unless something was said to you guys, to have another person come into that who is not on that committee, I find that objectionable and I also find it off-putting. We had made the decision once before as a board to make sure that anything having

to do with Spire was handled by the State’s Attorney, and so now if you ask another person to become involved, that circumvents that. I just have an objection to that and it was an overreach by Mark as the board has already made those decisions as a board. That is my personal feelings.” Board Member Andrea Schnelten agreed. “I would support that feeling,” she said. “We have committees for a reason, and if we are not being consistent to our committee members and the work going on in those committees… and the Spire thing is huge…and I’m not comfortable with it.” Clark, who is a member of the Transportation Committee agreed. “Plus, it does deal with the roads and bridges, and it should be kept in that committee,” she said. Members of the Transportation Committee are Elliott, Clark and Joehl. Castleberry said that was fine with her. “That is fine with me,” she said. “I just wanted to say that Mark asked me to do it – so I will back off.”

County to conduct own search for engineer

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Greene County Board might have made a mistake hiring a search firm to find an engineer to replace County Highway Engineer David Marth – a mistake that could cost the taxpayers around $25,000 unless the county acts quickly. Marth, who had been with the county for 22 years, resigned at the end of December to take a position with another firm, though he has agreed to help the county when needed. In fact, he has agreed to help the county find another engineer by being involved in the interview process since he knows what the job entails and what qualifications are needed. He offered his services free of charge to the county. At a special board meeting on Dec. 28, the board hired Gruen Search Consultants, Inc. (GSC) of Greenfield to conduct a search for a replacement for Marth. According to their website, they specialize in “finding and placing talented individuals in the apparel and home fashion industry.� Per the contract, should the county hire an individual referred to them by GSC, then the county agrees to pay GSC 25 percent of the individuals estimated first year’s salary. The estimated first year’s salary for an engineer is around $100,000, which comes out to $25,000 for GSC. Acting County Highway

Engineer Diane Hendricks, who is also the county highway office manager, had been following up on information that had also been supplied to board members about a firm out of Springfield that has connections to a lot of engineers. This information led Hendricks to the Illinois Society of Professional Engineers (ISPE) who will conduct a search for a county engineer both on their website and through sending out an email to all of their 2,500 members listing the job and its qualifications for a one-time cost of $315 a month – no percentage whatsoever if the person is hired. The item was discussed in length at the transportation meeting last Monday and brought to the full board for passage Wednesday, Jan. 13. “For only $315 a month and them emailing 2,500 engineers, we felt that was a pretty good price for trying to find an engineer, and it was certainly looking in the correct place,� Transportation Committee Chairman Joyce Clark said. “This place targets only engineers and no one else, so I think we have a really good chance with them and could save the taxpayers a lot of money. This way we aren’t putting all our eggs in one basket.� But Board Member Andrea Schnelten, who found the search firm that the board eventually hired, said she thought there was a problem. At the end of Monday’s board meeting, Schnelten came

into the transportation meeting and said that the search firm had come up with a very good candidate who had worked for IDOT. “My concern is, and I didn’t have time to research it because I didn’t think it was going to be brought up, is Brian (GSC) already using this as an outlet already through his channels,� she said. “Is he already networked through this group? I know it is only $300 a month, but I would like to be able to know we are not already reaching this group through his search firm.� If that is the case, then the county might be looking at paying $25,000 for something they could have done for $315 themselves. Board Member Regan Joehl agreed with Clark. “If we can find a good candidate and save the county $25,000 then it is worth a shot,� he said. Schnelten then said she wanted State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe to look over the contract to see if the county could legally do it under the terms of the contract. Briscoe was contacted Thursday and said there was nothing in the contract that prevented the county from doing a search on their own or from hiring their own candidate. Now, it seems it is a race against time to see who comes up with the best candidate first – the search firm or ISPE. At the Transportation Committee meeting, Elliott asked how the county would

Carrollton seeking grant for broadband exploration

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The City of Carrollton approved, by a consensus vote, to seek a grant that will look at bringing broadband internet to the community. Alderwoman Maria Cox brought the subject up following a closed session at the Jan. 14 city council meeting. The item was not on the agenda because Cox said she just learned about the grant and did not have time to put the item on the agenda to be voted on by the council. “Every so often, I look for grants that are available for rural communities in Illinois and one that I was just made aware of a couple of days ago is called the Illinois Connected Communities grant, and it is through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO),� Cox said. “This is a $15,000 grant that provides a facilitator to look at kind of where we are at in terms of broadband internet in our rural community and what kind of gap we might have when it comes to broadband technology.� Cox said there is no cost to apply for the grant and, if selected, Carrollton would be part of a nationwide think tank that would look at where Carrollton is and where they need to be when it comes to broadband internet. “I think this would be a really good opportunity for us,� Cox said. “Debbie [Dunlap] spent a couple of hours today talking with the facilitator at DCEO and he acted like we had a really good chance of getting the grant just like everyone else.� City Treasurer Dunlap explained the grant in a little bit more detail. “This grant is really more of a strategic planning grant where they will identify where we are today and where we want to be 10 years from now,�

she said. “So, in order to know where you want to be 10 years from now, you really have to identify what we have already, such as our healthcare, education, local government, county government, single family dwellings, apartment complexes, housing, etcetera. “Just because we live in a rural community doesn’t mean that we should not have fast internet. So why are we tolerating it when people in Springfield, Decatur, and other places are not tolerating it? They should bring the same amenities to rural communities that the urban communities have.� Dunlap noted that there will be many phases to this project. “This is just the first phase, which would be approximately one year after you are awarded the grant,� she said. “It would be an investigative phase where they would come in and identify what you have and maybe make a strategic plan. Then that grant would close, and then you would go to a design-type grant, and then after that grant closes, it would go to a constructiontype grant.� Alderman Larry Gillingham sees it as a good thing, but also knows it is something that the community must get behind for it to be successful. “For this to work, you have to have passion and you have to have community support,� he said. “You have to have the community behind you pushing for this for it to work and you have to have a hook unique to Carrollton, much like Pittsfield has a hook unique to them. Look at what Winchester has done.� With the pandemic forcing schools into remote learning off and on and many students choosing full-time remote learning on their own, internet systems are stretched. Broadband would help tremendously with the faster upload/

download speeds. “There is a real void here in this area,� Dunlap said. “With all the kids being at home at times, there is a real drain on the system. There is money out there right now so this is almost a win-win-win, and there is nothing invested on our part but our time. If we could get this grant, it would enable us to have a study done for our community that gives us a foundation on which to build on for the future.�

know if the person was qualified since they have no experience in vetting the person like the search firm would. “Dave (Marth) has offered to come in and sit in on the interview process on his own time to help you out, and no one knows better than him what to look for in a candidate,â€? Hendricks replied. “The firm you hired – how many county engineers have they hired? Their website says they specialize in apparel and home fashion.â€? At around 8 p.m., the board went into a closed session to discuss personnel, regarding the candidate referred by GSC, which lasted around half an hour. Following the closed session, the board reconvened and no action was taken. IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT GREENE COUNTY, ILLINOIS ESTATE OF TIMOTHY G. DIXON, DECEASED.

Submitted photo

Denny Vetter presents a bag of bills to Boyd Hospital CEO Debbie Campbell containing $4,048 which he collected from donations from Haypress Falls this year – the light display at his home out in the country. Due to COVID, Vetter put up a sign this year saying donations were not expected, but that seemed to make folks even more generous as this year’s total surpassed last year’s by more than $1,000.

a lot of attractions, light displays such as Haypress Falls seemed to be the going thing this year. “We seemed to have a much larger crowd than last year,� Vetter said. “Last year I think we had around 3,000 cars, and while we didn’t count them this year, I would say we had a lot more than that.� He does keep a register and asks folks to sign it so he knows where they come from. This year the register has people from eight different states registered. But that is nothing out of the ordinary. “Most of those people are people who are people who are down visiting with their relatives,� Vetter said. “We have even had people who have been from foreign countries sign our register.� But the really notable visitors this year are the couple who drove 1,200 miles, roundtrip, just to see the lights, then turned around and drove back home. “They were actually some cousins of mine and they had been reading on Facebook about how neat the lights were and they wanted to see them for themselves,� Vetter said. “So, they hopped in their van with some sleeping bags, drove down here, looked at the lights, visited a couple hours, drove

up to Caskey’s and looked at their lights and then drove back home. They drove 1,200 miles just to look at lights.� Now in his 80s, Vetter is no longer a spring chicken, and since it takes a lot of work to set up and maintain Haypress Falls, he was asked why he continues to do it year after year. “Well, my wife and I never had any children of our own and we like kids,� he said. “Even without this pandemic, where people don’t have a lot of places to go this year, there are a lot of families who don’t have a lot of extra money at Christmas time to spend on things and this is something where they can take their kids where they can have some enjoyment. It is just my way of trying to help other people out at Christmas time. To try to bring some joy to people.� When asked how he came to choose the Gas Cards for Cancer Program, he said he wanted a local charity to donate to. “Someone said donate it to a needy cause, and I saw something on Facebook about people going to cancer treatments needing money and that Carrollton Hospital was giving them money for gas,� he said. “So, I thought, it’s local and it is a good cause, so that is how I got started on that.�
