Carrollton Square Initiative holds second public forum

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Members of the Carrollton Square Initiative (CSI) hosted their second public forum at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Oct. 8. “One of the goals we had was to hold three public forums to engage the community,� CSI spokesman Pat Pinkston said. “This is our second of the three. Another goal we had was to engage a professional consultant to help us see what is possible for Carrollton. What could we conceive of to take us into the third centennial. We have done that as well.�

The walls of the KC hall were covered with sketches of the Carrollton Square as envisioned by the profes-

sional consulting firm of Vandewalle and Associates. “What you see tonight is not a plan or a proposal – what you see here are concepts and ideas,� Pinkston said. “Things to think about and build on and decide if we want to take on any of these projects and how quickly we should take them on. Nothing has been funded and nothing has been committed to. This is Vandewalle’s concepts based on input from you. “Carrollton already has a lot going for it. It is located within 90 minutes of two major cities – St. Louis and Springfield. It presents a small town way of life which people who live in larger cities now aspire to find. It has a lot of really historic architecture – a lot of original architecture and there

is good housing in an affordable price range.�

The one thing that Carrollton does lack, from a tourism standpoint, is natural resources. “We have a lot of natural resources and assets in this region but there is not connection to Carrollton,� Pinkston said. “There are no bike paths, and we probably don’t have sufficient lodging for what we might need for tourism.�

This is an agricultural area and Carrollton needs to draw more on that. “We are in the middle of an agricultural area, and this really shows some assets relative to agriculture,� Pinkston said. “One of the things we could consider here as we go forward is that we could build on that. Folks want to know who grows their food. How can

we continue to grow that?�

Six priority strategies and projects were identified as opportunities for Carrollton: Q Enhance Carrollton Square visually and functionally.

Q Identify and create redevelopment projects.

Q Provide opportunities to support outdoor dining.

Q Prepare design guidelines for facades and signage for business.

Q Formalize standards for streetscape improvements and sidewalk solutions.

Q Drive locally relevant content towards integration into regional tourism and employment efforts.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council unanimously approved the adoption of an ordinance proposing the issuance of waterworks and sewerage revenue bonds not to exceed $6.5 million for the purpose of defraying the cost of acquiring and constructing improvements to the waterworks and sewerage system of the city.

Earlier this year, the city approved building a new water tower and water plant as well as replace some water mains.

Jaimie Headon with Benton and Associates gave the council an update on progress so far. “We are proceeding with the design phase and are moving into the permit application stage,� he said. “It is moving along really well. We are trying to get ready for the EPA permit application in the November time frame.�

Last month, other steps were made to move the project forward. The council authorized Mike Southworth as bond counsel and passed a debt authorizing ordinance. “This shows the EPA you have taken action necessary to receive the loan agreements,� he said. “This authorizing ordinance is part of the overall financial packet you have to submit.�

Headon said the total cost of the project should be closer to $5.8 million, but the city wants to allow an additional 10 to 15 percent to allow for flexibility should bids come in higher than expected and they want to accept them. “You wouldn’t want to have to go through this process again,� he said. “You can operate within there.

This action would take care of Phase 1 and 2 even done separately.�

The ordinance will be published, and there will be a 30-day comment period to allow voters to take a look

He addressed the Carrollton City Council at the Oct. 10 meeting about the positive aspect the Carrollton Square Initiative could have on the community “I graduated from Carrollton High School, moved away and came back not once, but twice,� he said. “I love this community and I’m getting married in March and my fiancee and I have a decision to make – do we stay in Carrollton or go somewhere else.�

Cavins said everyone should have access to books. “Reading is just absolutely essential to everyone,� she said. “If a child starts off behind in reading, they are going to be behind their entire school time.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

‘Thoughts, prayers’ have move impact than is believed I wrote about the lack of rain a few weeks ago.

My little food plot needed a drink so bad. It still does, but the drought continues. And it’s probably too late now anyway.

Something growing in the middle of October seems unlikely.

I did all that I could do. I needed God to send the rain.

He hasn’t.

I can only pray he does. I guess it’s that “thoughts and prayers� thing. But it looks like my food plot doesn’t lack the thoughts and prayers. It looks like, maybe, I’m being shown how bad it really would be without what God does during a normal year.

There are so many today who are bemoaning, criticizing, and even scoffing whenever someone offers “thoughts and prayers.� Their argument is that it is an excuse for inac-

tivity.

I completely understand what they mean, especially the “thought� part of the “thoughts and prayers� offering. What do my thoughts toward you, or anyone, actually accomplish?

The “prayer� part is something altogether different, if prayer matters. But even in that, I understand the criticism.

The thinking is this — just as I had to plant my field before God could water it — we all must do our part in other areas before God can do his part as well.

For some reason, however, it doesn’t feel like the critics are looking for a partnership with God. It feels more as if they think prayer has very little or no effect on anything going on — like it hasn’t mattered in the past, and it doesn’t matter now.

So, let’s forgo the prayer thing

(Continued from A1) your typical library, though. “People come in, take a book and if they bring it back, then that is great but if they don’t it’s not a problem,�

Cavins said. “There is no library card needed. I decided to put them in the rural areas because people who live in these areas have to pay for their library cards and some families don’t have that kind of money.�

The only thing required of the community where the libraries are located is to bring electric to the building. “I supply everything for these buildings other than the electric,� Cavins said. “Once the electric is to the building, then we are able to hook up and utilize it and then the person or school or whoever says ‘okay, our bill went up $20 this month’ and I will pay for that.�

Cavins even supplies an employee to keep the library open. Each facility is open two days every other week on a set schedule.

The cottage sheds are purchased from R & E Enterprises in White Hall.

Once they are set at the location, her husband, David and another worker will go inside and finish out the inside of the building with insulation and wall boards and LED lighting. Rather than simply painting the wall boards, Cavins applies pieces of books and newspapers and then laquers them down.

Cavins said they put in metal shelving because the wood shelving tends to bow under the weight of the books. “I try to find them on Craig’s List at a minimal cost and so far I have been very lucky in finding them,â€? she said. “I just think the metal shelving looks nicer‌ I wanted to present a positive image on the inside.â€?

Once the inside is finished it is stocked with books from all genres. There is a children’s

and just take action.

I hope I’m wrong in my assessment. But have you ever thought that perhaps what is going on now is the result of people’s ongoing prayers?

I mean have you ever thought that perhaps there would be more violence and more catastrophes and more suffering, if not for those who bring these things before God each day, or if not for the ongoing mercies of God? Just ask it this way. Could things be worse? And if so, what or who keeps them from becoming that way?

God has withheld the rain from my food plot – the rain I had come to expect, depend on, and yes, take for granted.

He has shown me it could be worse.

Does praying make a difference? Is it important?

providing 20 to 30 units with underground parking.

Q Mixed use redevelopment. This would be three floors with 2,400 square feet of first floor space dedicated to commercial and eight residential units above.

Q Townhome redevelopment. Four units with unit style transitions to single family neighborhood.

Improvements to the courthouse include lighting the building to accent and display architecture at night; trim and selectively remove trees to provide views of building and celebrate it as Carrollton’s primary destination.

As for the library, an addition would be added to make the library ADA-accessible and expand its use as a community center.

So what can Carrollton do to attract people moving forward. One suggestion geared to attract people moving forward to Carrollton is the rich pottery history in the area. “There is a clay deposit from Rock Island to Alton, which at one time was world renowned,� Pinkston said. “Clay became a foundation for tourism. Connect that to the history we already have here.�

Another thing would be to market the Greene County label.

section, mystery, cookbooks, true crime, self help, romance. “People have started to know I do this so they are always donating books to me,�

Cavins said. “I keep them all in a shed at my house until one of the buildings is up and running.�

As an incentive for children to read more books, Cavins has started a reading program. “I have hooked up with Subway and if a children, up to a teenager, reads five books or magazines they get a free kid’s meal from Subway,� she said. “If they read two books, they get to draw a coupon out for a free soda or ice cream cone.

Same with the second two and when they read that fifth book they get the meal.�

Cavins also has what she calls a scavenger hunt for the children. “When a kid comes in I have a list of 10 things for them to find in a book or magazine,� she said. “Out of the 10, they have to find five of them. So that child has to pick up a book to find these items.

After they find five things, I have a prize box.�

After three months, Cavins said she has a mega drawing for a gift card.

A local resident was the catalyst for the programs existence in Eldred. Eldred resident Sue Richey heard about the program and contacted Cavins to see if she would place one in Eldred. “I had heard about what she was doing and approached her and asked her if she would consider doing it in Eldred,�

Richey said. “Eldred is going to be run a little bit differently.

It is still going to be under the Here’s To Reading umbrella and still have the same programs for the children, but we will have volunteer librarians to operate it.�

Cavins said her intentions was to limit the program to Jersey County. “When she approached me,

Thanks to the Here's to Reading program, Eldred will get its own library. The program is funded by David and Darla Cavins of Jerseyville. Each library is a 10x16 cottage shed and contains a children’s section like this one in Dow. Currently, they are up and running in Dow and Otterville with locations in Delhi, Grafton and Kane opening soon.

“Brand products from this county and build on the heritage we have and use that to create a more cohesive experience thinking about all the different providers of food,� Pinkston said. “Build on that local food and small farm experience. Get the Farmer’s Market onto the square and connect it up to the businesses on the square.�

Mary Michelle Winery is another very underutilized asset. “Why aren’t we marketing that wine,�

Pinkston asked. “Make a wine tasting room and create a destination for people to come and have that experience.�

One thing the community needs is high speed broadband. “I’ve been having a conversation with New Wave and while we have some capability its not enough,� Pinkston said. “If you really want to be relevant in the future you have to be able to share what you have and be able to market it and sell it.�

Pinkston noted that several people around the square have already invested their own money in restoring historic buildings. “It is going to take this entire community to make this happen,� Pinkston said. “We have to work together and work through the challenges, but it can happen.�

I was honest and said I wasn’t going to go outside of Jersey County, but I can work with you if you guys can meet me half way,� she said. “They agreed to pay for half the cost of the building, and I think it is going to work out great.�

At the October Village Board meeting, the board voted to pay for half the cost of getting the library in the village.

Carrollton resident Todd Steinacher addressed the city council on Oct. 10 about the importance of growing the Carrollton community.

(Continued from A1) the pool and library.

After some discussion, the board approved, by a 4-2 vote, to pay an invoice of approximately $28,471 submitted by the Moran Economic Development Group for the TIF plan and the comprehensive plan for the city.

Alderman Larry GIllingham voted against paying the invoice, as did Alderman Kevin Scoggins because the invoice was not itemized. “At the June 9 council meeting, we received a bid of $14,900 from Moran to do the comprehensive plan and $24,900 to do the TIF plan for a total of $39,800,�

Gillingham said. “There is no indication on this bill about what percent of it is complete or how much more they have to do. Give me a little explanation. “I propose to table this until he can provide us with a statement we can understand.�

Alderman Tim Reif pointed out that the city signed an agreement with Moran to pay $39,800. “We agreed to pay this amount and the amount here tonight is actually under that amount,� he said. “We should pay this amount. Up to this point, he submitted a bill less than what we approved and he has done what he is supposed to do.�

Alderman Dewain Freand deferred to City Attorney Bill Strang. “The contract said he would get paid as he finished certain items, and it sounds to me like he has finished those items,� Strang said. “He has probably earned this, and he knows through his processes he will have more work done upfront. “He can’t charge anymore than the max amount of $39,800 per the contract.�

Also, the council approved Trick or Treat hours on Oct. 30 and 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. with children allowed to visit houses who have their porch light on only. There will also be a trunk or treat on Oct. 30 at Lifepoint Church from 6 to 8 p.m. and the following night, Oct. 31 at First Baptist Church, also from 6-8.

CSI (Continued from A1) “Sales is about recruitment and retention,� he said. “Everytime someone comes through our town, whether we know it or not, they make a judgement about our community. Is this a place that attracts them and makes them want to know more? Does it recruit them to want to come back and be in this community?

The ideas and efforts being proposed for Carrollton will help us recruit people to this community.�

On the retention side, Steinacher said they have to find a way to keep younger people in the community. “As the community ages, the population will eventually decline,� he said. “If we want this town to grow, we have to retain our younger population.�

Also, the more people who are in a community means a larger tax base, both property tax and sales tax. He said it is important to support local businesses for several reasons. “Local businesses support the community through property taxes and the sales taxes collected through their business,� he said. “Local businesses provide employment opportunities for residents and students. The local businesses are supporting the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) program that shows students that they can create jobs and businesses in rural America and what makes them successful.�

Steinacher said most people are resistant to or simply afraid of change. “But change is required or the town will go backwards,� he said. “There are opportunities we need to address and take on.

People will come for the right kind of experience. If they don’t get it here – they will go elsewhere. We need folks talking about Carrollton and investing in this community.�

From the desk of Pastor David Slagle; We awoke this Sunday morning to much cooler but also a beautiful morning. Whoever says there is no God needs to look in the mirror at themselves and ask where did I come from and why am I here?

You see God knows each of us even before we are born into this world, and we are created by him for a purpose.

We just need to accept him as Lord and Savior and allow him to work in our

lives.

If we do that, there is no limit on what we can do through him. We were blessed with a good group this morning. We want to invite all church family and friends to the Walkerville Baptist Church bonfire and wiener roast this coming Saturday afternoon Oct. 19 at 5 p.m.

n the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. As Jesus often does, he both shows them and tells them the answer. Jesus calls a child to come over, sets the child in their midst and says “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

(Matthew 18:3-4 NIV) Jesus calls explicit attention here to the humility and obedience of the child, who came and sat with them without asking questions. And as usual, the kingdom of heaven reverses the values of this world. In the kingdom of heaven, the lowly and humble shall be first. Pride and arrogance, and self-serving ambition may get you the highest position here on earth, but in the kingdom of heaven, the highest position is for the humble and lowly, and those with the simple faith and obedience of a child. The fact that the disciples are even asking the question reveals to Jesus how much they are stuck in the mindset of this world, thinking of hierarchies and pecking orders. Jesus wants them to re-evaluate their worldly values and consider that things in heaven will be quite different. Consider how much your own values (materialism, ambition, pride, etc.) are really the values of this world and not the values of the kingdom of heaven.

SCHOOL/NEWS

North Greene student tries hand at proposing legislation More than 60 students spent their day in Springfield learning about state and local government, debating issues, and proposing new laws, all as part of State Sen. Steve McClure’s (R-Springfield) Youth Advisory Council program. Among this group was North Greene High School student Victoria Smith.

“This is a way for me to try to get younger people more involved with our government and more involved with the issues that we’re dealing with,” McClure said. “I hope they continue to want to get more involved with government and that they keep these issues in mind, because so many of these things affect them, and they need to be part of the discussion.”

The students travelled to Springfield from across the 50th Senate District, which encompasses all or parts of nine counties. They began their day discussing issues with the Senator, and hearing from other officials along with learning from government reporters.

“I’ve been interested in politics for the last four years, it’s become my passion, it’s what I want to do for a living,” said Jerseyville Community High School senior Grant Morgan. “I think the things I learn here, will help reflect other opinions, and the way I speak and the people I talk to will help build on what I already know, and I think that’s really important towards the overall goal of getting into politics.”

Later in the day the students separated into groups to discuss and debate ideas for new legislation. The students’ proposals ranged from free college tuition to requiring armed officers in schools. Each group had the opportunity to present their idea, take questions, and debate the merits. Eventually, the whole group voted to take one proposal forward,

ultimately picking their plan to provide higher education at no charge.

“It’s important for us to get involved because at a young age you never know what’s going to happen and the decisions that we are going to make, if we mess up, it could change the lives of our kids,” said Calhoun High School student DJ Lorton. “I learned a lot about what our government does and how it works.”

Smith saw it as a good opportunity to see how things work and what is going in our state.

“It’s going to help me see how to make a change and create a better outlook in our lives,” Smith said.

The students will meet again in the spring, this time

at the Illinois State Capitol, where they will conduct a mock Senate committee hearing on their proposal.

Each student will take on a role in the process, from lawmakers, to lobbyists, concerned citizens, and even members of the media.

“My favorite part of this event is the discussion, it’s really fantastic to hear from them, and to hear how excited they are,” said Senator McClure. “I hope they take away from this skills that they can use, whether they want to run for office, whether they want to be a journalist, whether they want to be in business, because there are so many skills and lessons that can be learned from public service that can be used anywhere.”

Tiger Tales Congratulations to the Greenfield-Northwestern Tigers Football team on their WIVC South Conference Championship. Come out Friday night to honor the Senior members of the team before the game, cheerleaders and band members at half time.

Golf fundraiser raises $15,000 for Price scholarship Seventeen golf teams gathered at Timber Lakes Golf Course on Sept. 27 and helped to raise $15,214 for Bob Price’s scholarship fund.

Closest to the Pin winner for men was Dave Stewart (Nokomis) and Closest to the Pin winner for women was Audra Harrison (North Carolina). George Russell won the ‘chipping” contest. The winner of the cash/gun raffle was Bill Marley, of Nokomis and he chose the gun. $10,000 in scholarships were awarded last year in Hillsboro, North Greene,

Nokomis, North Mac, Northwestern, and Staunton, with a total of thirty awarded in the past six years.

The scholarships are available to high school senior students in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, and Montgomery counties. For information about the scholarship or playing in next year’s tournament, September 25, 2020 contact Ginger Barnes at 217-825-9175.

In September, District 18 personnel presented Safety Education Programs to various schools, business and civic organizations. Audiences were educated on topics covering Alcohol Awareness, Seatbelt/Child Restraint Safety, Distracted Driving, Computer Crimes/ Internet Safety, School Bullying, Rules of the Road and various other public safety topics.

The goals are simple: reduce fatalities and make Illinois roadways safer through education and enforcement.

One driving fatality is one too many and Illinois State Police are committed to driving zero fatalities to a reality.

Roadwork near Joe Page to run until November The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced that Illinois 16/100 will be intermittently restricted to one lane between the Joe Page Bridge and Busby Lane near East Hardin, a project which began Sept. 30.

Two-way traffic will be maintained with the

use of flaggers. This work will take place daily between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. and is necessary to replace the asphalt surface.

This work is expected to be completed by the end of November. The Contractor on this project is Charles E. Mahoney Co. of Belleville.

Greenfield-Northwestern’s Baylee Bilbruck and Jessa Vetter go up side by side for a block against Brown County last week in Palmyra. The Lady Tigers won the game in a hard fought three sets.

Drake Stuart makes a block against North Greene’s Jordan Nichols to give GreenfieldNorthwestern teammate Brady Pembrook running room on a quarterback keeper during a WIVC South football match up. The Tigers came out on top and will take on Beardstown at Fleur de Lis Field in Greenfield on Friday, Oct. 18. The Spartans who fell to 4-3 on the season are on the road traveling to Mendon Unity next Friday.

Sherry Fraley/Greene Prairie Press

Friday night under the lights at Palmyra butted two Greene County football teams head to head. The GreenfieldNorthwestern Tigers defended their home field beating the North Greene Spartans 47-0.

Jury trial has been set for Ellis

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After almost 11 months in the Greene County Jail, the woman accused of murdering her 5-month-old son is getting close to a jury trial date.

Jamia Ellis, 23, was arrested in November of last year and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and Concealing a Homicidal Death. Ellis’s son was found buried in a garbage bag in the back yard of a rural Carrollton residence where Ellis was staying with her boyfriend, Ryan Wheeler.

Wheeler also remains in jail with a bond of $500,000 on a charge of concealing a homicidal death. An autopsy showed that the baby died from blunt force trauma.

Ellis, who originally had a public defender, hired her own council in May of this year – Michelle Berkel of Alton, thereby delaying proceedings.

At a pre-trial hearing on Oct. 11, Berkel and States Attorney Caleb Briscoe were in conference for around 15 minutes at which time Berkel came out and talked to her client.

Berkel then asked for more time once again.

“There are ongoing discussions and because of the seriousness of this charge, I need to discuss this further with my client,” she said.

Greene County Circuit Court Judge James Day set Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. for a jury pre-trial. A jury trial has been set for Oct. 28 at 9 a.m.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Cleaning Fall leaves comes with changing colors Now that we’ve had some cooler temperatures (to go along with shorter days), we’re starting to see the leaves change colors. In the next few weeks, we can look forward to our landscapes being awash in yellows, oranges, and reds. As the saying goes, though, all good things must come to an end. Eventually, all of those leaves will end up on the ground, and we’ll begin our annual battle of what to do with them.

If you only have a light covering of leaves in your lawn, they can be mowed. When mowing leaves, make sure you can see the grass beneath the cut-up leaves. If the leaf layer is too thick, it can smoother and kill the grass. By mowing the leaves and chopping them into small pieces, they will drop between the blades of grass to the soil surface. Once there, microbes can begin to break them down. As the leaves are broken down, they will contribute to the organic matter present in soils and nutrients will be released for turf to utilize.

If you have too many leaves to mow, consider incorporating some into your garden beds. Adding a 6 to 8-inch layer of leaves and incorporating (tilling) them into garden soils can help improve them by increasing organic matter. In heavy clay soils, this will help with drainage and aeration, and in sandy soils, it will improve the soil’s ability to hold onto water and nutrients. If you decide to incorporate leaves into garden beds, its best to do this in the fall, this will allow for plenty of time for the leaves to break down before you plant in the spring.

Leaves can also be used as a mulch in vegetable gardens, flower beds and around trees and shrubs. When using leaves as mulch, it’s a good idea to shred them first so they

don’t clump together, forming a mat that can prevent moisture from reaching the soil.

Shredded leaves also are more likely to stay in place compared to unshredded leaves.

Leaves can be used to help insulate plants too. By using leaves as insulation, we can keep the soil uniformly cold and prevent freezing and thawing cycles that can damage marginally hardy plants (some hybrid tea roses, lavender, etc.). This can be done by placing shredded leaves around the crowns of these plants, or wire frames can be built and filled with leaves. If using leaves as insulation, don’t put them on plants until temperatures are consistently below freezing.

If you’ve ever done any composting, you know how valuable leaves can be as a ‘brown’ material. For the uninitiated, compost is a dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling form of organic matter that has gone through a natural decomposition process. If you have a garden, lawn, trees, shrubs, or even planter boxes or houseplants, you have a use for compost.

While we often dread the appearance of leaves in our yards, they are a valuable and free resource for our landscapes. Before you use up all of your leaves, take some time to make a big pile of them, and relive your childhood.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: While we’re often in a hurry to clean up leaves in the fall, they can be important overwintering areas for a variety of wildlife. Many different types of insects, such as butterflies and bees, as well as other animals such as salamanders and toads, will rely on leaf litter as habitat to make it through the winter. To conserve these animals consider leaving part of your yard as is until spring.

Officials warn of deer during season With the onset of autumn, the school year is in full swing, pumpkin lattes are steaming – and Illinois deer are feeling amorous.

The Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Natural Resources are reminding motorists to be vigilant during deer mating season as the animals become more active, especially in the early morning and evening hours.

“As the risk of deer-vehicle crashes peak during fall, drivers can help ensure they reach their destinations safely by remembering a few important tips,” Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman said.

“Most importantly, don’t veer for deer. While your first instinct when facing a deer in the headlights may

be to swerve, doing so could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and increase the severity of a crash.”

Motorists are urged to consider the following safe driving tips during deer mating season: Q Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to deer crossing signs.

Q Scan the sides of the road for eye shine – the reflection of headlights in the eyes.

Q Slow down if you see deer.

They travel in groups, so more are likely nearby.

Q Prepare for the unexpected.

Deer can stop in the middle of the road or double back.

Q If a collision is inevitable, try to glance the vehicle off the deer and avoid swerving into the opposite

lanes of traffic.

In 2018, there were 15,636 motor vehicle crashes involving deer in Illinois. Of these, 14,998 resulted in damage to property or vehicles only, while 630 caused personal injuries.

Eight of the crashes were fatal.

More than 40% of crashes involving deer in Illinois occurred in October, November and December, with November being the highest-risk month. Rural environments were the site of nearly 90% of all crashes involving deer, with more than 70% occurring at twilight or nighttime.

Among the top 10 Illinois counties for crashes involving deer in 2018 were Madison at 377 and Sangamon at 360.

“Deer-vehicle collisions can happen in any part of the state – urban

or rural,” IDNR Director Colleen Callahan said. “If you do hit a deer, remember to report the accident to local law enforcement or a conservation police officer. They can help control traffic, clear the roadway or in the event that the animal must be euthanized.”

If you hit a deer, pull off to the shoulder and turn on the hazard lights. Call 911 to report the accident so law enforcement can assist. Do not get out of the vehicle to check on an injured deer or pull it from the road.

PUBLIC NOTICES/NEWS

State officials urge caution during harvest Harvest season is always hectic, but late spring planting this year will mean an especially busy time for farmers over the next few weeks. The Illinois Department of Labor urges farmers not to forsake safety as they race to bring in the 2019 crop. “Harvest season reminds us how important farmers are to Illinois’ economy and our way of life. But this busy time also brings additional risks to agriculture workers,� said Michael Kleinik, director of the Illinois Department of Labor. “We want farmers to head home to their families safe and sound at the end of each day.�

Vehicle safety is an especially important focus this time of year. Tractor overturns are the leading cause of fatalities in the agriculture industry, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These accidents result in about 130 deaths each year nationwide. “The roll overs and left-hand turns by farm vehicles on roadways seem to be the top two safety issues,� said Dave Newcomb, Ag Rescue Program Manager with the Illinois Fire Service Institute.

While tractor roll-over accidents

most often occur on the farm, roadways also pose a major safety hazard.

Too often a vehicle attempting to pass causes a collision before the tractor or farm implement can finish a left-hand turn. Some collisions occur simply because the driver fails to reduce speed for the slower moving farm implement.

Newcomb says impatience and speed are a deadly combination on rural roads this time of year. Sadly, a farm vehicle/car collision this month near Sterling resulted in the death of a 9-year-old girl. The child was a passenger in a vehicle attempting to pass a farm implement. The car struck a grain cart. “Please, be patient. Please, slow down,� said Newcomb.

Visibility is also a key to safety on the roads. All agricultural vehicles using the public roadways must display the fluorescent orange Slow Moving Vehicle triangle. Additionally, tractors and other self-powered farm vehicles must have proper lighting. According to Illinois law: Q Lighting is required from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise.

Q There should be two white lamps

on the front of the vehicle, visible from at least 1000 feet to the front of the vehicle.

Q There should be two red lamps on the rear of the vehicle, visible from at least 1000 feet to the rear of the vehicle.

Q There should be at least one flashing amber signal lamp on the rear of the vehicle, mounted as high as possible and visible from at least 500 feet, which can be used during daylight as well.

Drivers should remember that farm vehicle operators have limited visibility to the rear. Anyone passing such a vehicle needs to use extreme caution.

Modern farm equipment provides effective safety devices if they are used properly. Death and serious injury from tractor roll overs can be prevented by roll-over protective structures – a roll bar or cage designed to provide a safe space around the driver.

But too often workers fail to use a vital part of this safety device – a safety belt. “We have had fatalities where the people were thrown from the tractor and the roll-over protection pinned them to the ground and in one situation actually drowned the person because

they were not buckled in,� said Newcomb. “You need to use all of the components.�

Newcomb offers three more words of advice to help avoid making dangerous mistakes this harvest season.

Rest. Nutrition. Hydration. He knows of one farm operation this year that has decided to not work on Sundays during harvest to give its employees needed rest. “And they determined it only added one day to the overall length of harvest,� said Newcomb, noting that it paid other benefits as well. “He told me, ‘We weren’t tired, so we caught little (maintenance) things before they became a real problem.’�

Farmers may not be convinced to take a whole day off during harvest, but at a minimum, Newcomb urges them to take a break every couple of hours – you can use it not only to stretch your legs but to make a quick inspection of your tractor or combine. Also, your tractor isn’t the only thing that needs fuel. Make sure to eat and drink fluids to stay alert. “It really doesn’t have to be nonstop. Take a few minutes for yourself for safety’s sake,� said Newcomb.
