High-fiving their hero Blake and Nora Hazelwonder get the opportunity to meet their hero from Frozen, none other than Elsa, while waiting to take a trip through the haunted house. Sunday afternoon, children had the chance to meet a variety of superheroes and get the living daylights scared out of themselves if they wished as 217 Terror Haunted House in Roodhouse played host to their Annual Family Friendly Fear Festival Sunday afternoon. More than 600 people came through the free event which featured a toned down haunted house for the kids, plus a variety of activities for the little ones and the chance to visit their favorite story book characters from Elsa to Spiderman. Helping with the event were the Roodhouse Police Department and the Roodhouse Fire Department as well as the City of Roodhouse. Visitors had the opportunity to donate to the Roodhouse Fire Department Charity Boot which goes to buy toys for needy children in the area. More photos from the festival can be found on A9.

COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Greene County

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The number of COVID-19 cases in Greene County and throughout Region 3 continues to rise at an alarming rate, with Region 3 now dangerously close to coming under further mitigating measures like surrounding counties.

Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters released a press release Monday afternoon. “At this time, there has been an increase in cases in Greene County and throughout Region 3. There are several outbreaks, related to worksites, church and recent travel outside Greene County,� she said. “All parties are aware and taking action. It is difficult to directly connect these recent cases to a single event or gathering. We can only address the information that is provided by the case.�

Peters said limiting large gatherings continues to assist in reducing exposures, but some have opted to ignore the guidelines. “It is very likely this region will move to mitigation soon if cases throughout the region continue to increase,� Peters said. “Please be aware that we are in Region 3, please monitor your county increases.�

If the county residents don’t want to see their businesses shut down again and further mitigations imposed, health officials urge everyone to pitch in and help decrease the exposure of the virus. “It is the choice of the people to continue events and to attend. There will need to be more voices advocating the need to reduce exposures as our cases continue to increase,� Peters said. “We all play a part in this and there is addi-

tional need for support from the community.�

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health website, Greene County has once again entered the warning level with a 10.1 positivity rate for the week of Oct. 11 through 17.

A county enters warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase such as surpassing a positivity rate of more than 8 percent for three consecutive days.

The region, as a whole, has reached a seven-day rolling average test positivity rate of 8.0 as of Oct. 24.

Greene County has added to that regional average by adding 37 new cases during the seven-day period from Oct. 17 to Oct. 24. A total of 18 of those cases were added in a two-day period spanning Oct. 23-24 with 8 and 10, respectively.

This pushed the daily test positivity rate on Oct. 24 up to a whopping 10.8 percent and the seven-day rolling average up to 7.4 percent up from the previous day’s 7.3 and 6.3, respectively.

Most recently, the health department Tuesday reported 12 new cases in the county, all community acquired.

On Oct. 24, there were four new cases reported, three community acquired and one in long-term care as well as two deaths, both from longterm care patients. This brings the total deaths in the county up to 19 — all but three of which come from long-term care patients. Adding the recovered cases to the active cases and dividing by the deaths, this gives the county a 6 percent death rate with the virus, which is twice as high as the 3 percent state average.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Greene County Board convened a special board meeting on Oct. 21 for discussion on how to “proceed with, move forward with, the highway department with the resignation of the highway superintendent.�

Highway Superintendent David Marth had submitted his resignation to the board a week earlier at the regular board meeting, though he had given his resignation to the transportation committee the week before.

Marth did not attend this special meeting, but many of the local township road commissioners did because the idea being considered by at least one of the board members concerned them.

Those attending included: David Willenburg, Carrollton Township; Rodney Reif, Bluffdale Township; Jeff Gilbert, Linder Township; Mark Hallock, Roodhouse Township; Steve Rosentreter, City of Carrollton and Diane Hendricks and Mike Schmidt with the highway department.

Randy Custer, a member of the transportation committee, opened the meeting by saying this meeting was

an opportunity for them as board members to try to understand how to move forward after Marth’s leaving. “Tonight is for us to be informed,� he said. “We are not here to make any drastic changes at this time.�

Marth has been with the county for 22 years, and there is no doubt that in his years, he has become very knowledgeable on the needs and roles he played in the department.

Greene County is one of the few counties in the area which still maintains a day-labor force which builds its own bridges and maintains its own roads. Other counties contract this work out, which for a variety of reasons is a very different ball game.

Board member Chris Elliott suggested that the board consider basically doing away with the highway department – superintendent and day labor – and contracting out those services, because the county will not be able to find another engineer willing to work for Marth’s salary. The source of this idea was not divulged. “How are we going to be able to hire a good candidate who has all of the qualifications that is going to do for Greene County and want to be here and stay here long term and want to help our department to be (See, MEETING, A2)

Stoner Supply Co. to open in White Hall

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Stoner Supply Co. conjures up all kinds of all kinds of psychedelic images of the 60s and its reference to marijuana, and although the reference to marijuana is accurate, it’s actually a misnomer to the business itself.

Stoner Supply Co., located at 505 State Street in White Hall, is a new business of Clint Newingham and his partner, Felica Lopez, that will be opening on Nov. 2. But, unlike the name suggests, not one single blade of grass will be sold in the store. “I guess the name is a bit misleading to some, but what we are really doing here is helping people to obtain their medical cannabis card,� Newingham said. “With the medical cannabis card, they can go to the dispensary and get the medical cannabis products without paying the 35 percent recreational tax that is added on.�

As an example, Newingham said that one-eighth of a flower that is $64 for a medical card holding patient would be over $80 for a recreational user. An

additional perk for the medical card user is that they do not have to wait in line like the recreational users — they are automatically admitted into the facility. They are also allowed to grow five plants at home for their own personal use.

Newingham is a medical cannabis user, but it was the effects it had on his 16-year-old son that really sold him on the power it had to change a person’s life for the better. “My son has aspergers and ADHD and was really struggling in school, at home, with the law — with everything,� he said. “He was taking 14 pills a day since he was five years old for all his conditions, and he didn’t know who he was anymore.�

As a last resort, they tried CBD. “It worked wonders, but the only way the school would give it to him was with a doctor’s order, and then they wanted me to drive up there to give it to him,� Newingham said. “It made that big a difference in him.�

If CBD worked that well, the thought was that, perhaps, medical cannabis would be even

more beneficial. “So, when I went to his doctor, his doctor said he thought he would really benefit from the medical cannabis card, so since I was already a medical cannabis patient, we got him a card,� Newingham said. “Since then, he eats one edible in the morning and one in the afternoon and takes no pills at all except one pill for depression at night. The school can’t believe the difference in him just since March when he started on it.

All of his trouble is gone. He is a totally different person.�

Newingham was able to help his son with the process because he had already gone through it to obtain his own medical cannabis card, but others might not be so lucky. This spurred the kernel of an idea for a local business. “I figured there is nothing in this area to help people to obtain their cards,� he said. “If your regular family doctor doesn’t do it, then where do you go? I got lucky in that the doctor I went to in St. Louis helped me get mine – in fact that is all they do.�

Newingham, after visiting with his doctor, inquired about

Take a psychedelic trip back to the 60s with a visit to the Stoner Supply Co. in White Hall, opening on Nov. 2. While the name might otherwise allude to, no marijuana will be sold in the store. Rather, owners Clint Newingham and Felicia Lopez will help customers obtain medical cannabis cards, which will allow them to buy medical cannabis from a licensed dispensary.

perhaps setting up appointments with others to come get their cards. “He told me the State of Illinois in March did some type of law where they can do doctor visits virtually,� Newingham said. “He said if we wanted to set them up that way we could, which is what we have done.

We make an appointment for you, and you come here and sit in front of a computer in a private room and talk with a doctor one-on-one. After that, we fill out all the paperwork with the state.�

Meeting

(Continued from A1) what it has been for 20 years,” Elliott asked. “I would like to still see the department succeed and [the] county be able to fund that, but I realize we would have to make changes to see that.

I don’t have the answer for that.”

Greene County Board Chairman Mark Strang appeared to echo the sentiment of at least some of the road commissioners sitting out in the audience.

“We, as a board, represent everyone in Greene County,” he said. “The things I noticed is not only do we work on county roads, but I think that it is a concern of a lot of people here is that we do a lot of things for other townships, and I was talking to some of these guys out here (in the audience) and they don’t even have a backhoe.

“People are totally depending on us to help them out, and if we are not in business to do that, they will have to go outside and find an independent contractor to do that and pay him prevailing wage to get things done for what we have been doing for a lot less cost for them. When we make a decision, we need to take into mind that we represent a lot of people in this county.”

Strang continued.

“Mr. Marth was telling me that even if we don’t hire our own engineer for ourselves, we will still have to employ an engineer for bridge inspections and to finish bridges we are currently working on, and we will still easily spend $50,000,” he said. “My thoughts are, if we spend that much on a parttime engineer, let’s let the State of Illinois pay the other half of his salary, and let’s see if maybe we can’t find someone in the $100,000 range and keep our staff on.

I think our guys can take better care of our roads than someone from the outside, and I think it’s important we at least try and look for an engineer, and if we can’t find what we are looking for, let’s scale back our demands on what we can do.”

Elliott said it wasn’t all about money.

“What I’m saying is there is a huge difference in what you are going to need in a structural engineer for what we can pay and David, who has done everything he has done,” he said. “If we have to have an engineer – who can we get for what we can pay?”

Board member Joyce Clark said she was behind Strang in that the board needed to look at the big picture and not just the checkbook.

“Greene County has a good highway department, and it helps out our townships,” she said. “If they have to contract out the work, that means paying prevailing wage, so

those projects are going to cost three times more. I think we need to keep our engineer and keep helping each other out like we have in the past.

Let’s keep our county the way it is and the good roads that we have now.”

Custer with the transportation committee said that no one was here to cut out the highway department.

“We want to look for an engineer, but if we can’t find what we are looking for, we need to know how we will proceed and how it will affect you guys,” he said. “It is not our intention to cut something out. We are just looking at our options. I would like to hear what our issues are and address those issues.”

Bluffdale Township Road Commissioner Rodney Reif, who is also a member of the Carrollton School Board, said that Marth, in his position as highway supervisor, has done so much for the county.

“The county engineer can do bridge inspections, which saves the county a lot of money over the years, but one of the things that he has been able to do is bring federal money into this county,” Reif said. “How many dollars has he been able to bring in with his background and knowledge that has flowed into our county that other counties aren’t getting because maybe their engineer isn’t qualified to get it or didn’t apply?

“You may have to pay bigger than what you want to, but if he can do what Marth has done and reap money on the backside of it, it will be well worth it.”

The budget is due next month, and it appears the county has no plans to increase the amount of money it has figured in for the county engineer for next year. Marth makes just under $134,000 a year. Half of this amount is reimbursed through Motor Fuel Tax funds each year through the state, leaving the county to fund $67,000.

To make a rough comparison, other county employees received the following salaries last year: county clerk, circuit clerk and treasurer make just under $62,000; and the state’s attorney, just over $138,500, a portion of which, like Marth’s, is also reimbursed by the state.

“I’m not concerned about paying the engineer less,” Elliott said. “What I’m talking about is I have heard if you are looking for someone with similar qualifications, you are not going to get them for what we are paying right now. There is only so much we can pay.”

Diane Hendricks, office manager at the highway department, who has worked for Marth for 22 years, noted knowledge is gained with

experience.

“Dave didn’t know everything when he first started that job,” she said. “The guy we just hired for day labor – it took us six months to find just the right guy for the job.

You can’t just throw anyone into a job. You’ve got to go digging and looking for just the right person.”

The county only has until Dec. 31 to fill the position, which is when Marth will officially resign.

With the board asking what they needed to look for in a possible candidate, Hendricks said the man to ask was not even invited to

this meeting.

“Your first place to start is with Dave. He is a professional engineer, and he knows what you need to look for in a candidate,” she said.

“Not one of you (board members) has called him to ask him questions. I only heard about this meeting tonight through the grapevine.”

Board member Andrea Schnelten came up with a potential solution for the situation – hiring a professional firm to seek out a qualified candidate for the position.

“I know there are companies out there that do this very thing for a living and

know how to find candidates to fill positions such as these,” she said. “But, I think we should expedite it.

I just have to think there is some agency out there that specializes in this area, and we need to look at the cost to hire them to help us because it might save us in the long run.”

Reif agreed that would be a good idea.

“Since I have been on the school board, we have hired three superintendents, and each time we have used a professional to come in here and do a search for us, and it ranges anywhere from

$3,500 to $5,500 per search.

What they do is they bring four or five candidates for you to compare and interview,” he said. “You give them the parameters to look for such as the education, salary, etc., and they come back with the candidates.”

Clark was the first one to jump on board with the idea “I think that is an excellent idea, and Dave said that whoever he is working for said they would allow him time to train his replacement,” she said. “So between that and Andrea’s idea, I think we have come up with a plan.”

Early voting (Continued from A1) One thing that many might not have previously considered, but may now come to mind is the possibility of the courthouse closing because of COVID-19. The Jersey County Courthouse announced Monday that they would be closing for the day because of a known case in the building. Banghart was asked what Greene County would do, should that happen in Greene County.

“Election staff are considered essential workers, and my understanding is that only if you test positive or

have symptoms would staff have to go home,” Banghart said. “We have one staff member who has already had COVID and is considered immune so no matter what, she would be here.”

Nevertheless, Banghart said she has asked staff to take extra precautions.

“I have asked my staff to not go anywhere – to stay at home and take extra precautions when they do go out,” she said. “That situation could easily happen. Everyone is crossing their fingers to get through Election Day.”

Greenfield School Board tour locker rooms

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

The Greene/Calhoun CEO Program students were hard at work at the four-way stop in White Hall during Oktoberfest recently, selling caramel apples and cider as part of their class business to earn money for their individual businesses for the program. Left to right: Jordyn Sharrow, Kaitlyn Weisner, Paige White, Gracie Heberline and Jordan Nichols.

Greene-Calhoun CEO Program going strong

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press This is the fifth year for the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) program, a collaboration between the North Greene, Carrollton, Greenfield and Calhoun School districts which prepares students to be responsible, enterprising individuals who will hopefully become entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial thinkers and contribute to economic development in their own communities.

Each week, students visit different local businesses where they hear how the business started, how it operates and how the owners got their start in the business and what makes it a success. Ultimately, they will start their own business before the class is over.

This is Jennifer Sellars’ third year as facilitator of the program, and she said that this year, by far, has been the most different year for the program that she has seen.

“We are doing a lot of things different this year because of COVID-19,” she said. “For one thing, it has caused us to take a look at how we do our class business, which is what we use to raise funds to start the students’ individual businesses.”

Last year, a combination chili cook-off and auction was held at the KC auction in Carrollton, and it was a success. But, because of COVID19 and not wanting to gather a large audience in one place, the students had to think of something else.

“They had to come up with something that they could do over a period of time that they could do outside as opposed to one large indoor event,” Sellars said. “So, they came up with selling seasonal treats.

Right now, they are selling candy apples and cider, and around Christmas time, they will be selling Christmas cookies at the different outdoor events around such as Christmas in the Park and the Carrollton Christmas Parade.”

The CEO students had a stand at the four-way stop in White Hall as well as one at Oktoberfest and Carrollton’s Witches Night Out. Mansfield said they try to meet during the first semester, when the weather is warmer, outside as much as possible.

“David and Louann Mansfield have been very gracious to let us meet under their outdoor venue at Greene Gables Inn as a class, so we meet outside there every day,” Sellars said. “In the event of bad weather, the Masons have been very gracious to let us

use their hall.”

Students have to wear masks to all of the business visits, as do the presenters.

“We have tried to do as many outdoor business visits as possible during the warmer weather, saving the indoor businesses for the colder weather,” Sellars said. “All in all, I think this COVID experience has been good for the kids. I think it teaches them to adapt – to learn how to adjust to things they did not foresee.

I think it has been beneficial to them in a way.”

This year, only seven students are participating, and only two of the four schools have students in the program – four from North Greene and three from Greenfield. Neither Carrollton nor Calhoun have students in the program this year.

“We had 10 in the class last year, but we are fortunate to have the seven that we have, because right about the time that we started to recruit for the class, COVID-19 hit and the schools were shut down,” Sellars said. “So, the guidance counselors did a great job getting students interested in the program and looking for applicants.”

For now, the students are busy earning money by selling their caramel apples and cider and soon sugar cookies as part of their class business.

Last year, they traveled the county collecting donations for an auction to raise money for their class business, but COVID-19 also put a damper on that idea.

“One of the things we did not want to do that we usually do is solicit businesses for donations for an event because these businesses have been hit so hard by COVID-19 in one way or another,” Sellars said.

“So, one of the challenges they had was that they were all given a dollar and told to go turn it into $100. So, they had to take this $1 and use their skills and resources and figure

out how to turn it into $100 or more, so that has been really interesting to see what they have done.”

For example, one student decided he was going to grow pumpkins. So, he took his $1 and bought pumpkin seeds.

“He had already planted the pumpkins, but he knew how much the seed had cost and they are taking the cost of that seed and making more with it,” Sellars said. “It is a good way to get them thinking – thinking outside the box.

That is kind of the theme this year. We really have to think differently this year, but it is a good experience for them.

“They have had to learn to adjust and think differently, and I think that is what one of the things that young people don’t always learn. They are taught to follow something or do something but not to think outside of that box. But when they get out in the real world, it is hard and the sooner they can learn to think and adjust and kind of go with the flow and figure out what is going to happen and meet these challenges head on I think it will make them much more successful in life.”

The money they raise from their class business and from their own entrepreneurial endeavors with their $1 investments will go towards starting their own individual class business during the second semester of the course.

One student, Sarah McEvers, from North Greene, has leased space at Greene Elite, where she is holding dance classes.

“She knew from the moment she started in the class what she wanted her business to be and has already gotten started,” Sellars said.

“She is doing a really good job, and it is something she is really passionate about. A lot of them still aren’t sure what their individual businesses are going to be.”

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greenfield School Board members had the opportunity to tour the newly remodeled boys and girls locker rooms at the high school gym at the Monday Oct. 19 school board meeting.

The locker rooms that were replaced were original to the gym, which was built in 1966.

Funding for the project came, in part, from a $50,000 School Maintenance Construction Grant from the state government that the district had applied for this spring and received.

“This is one of those extra projects that you probably wouldn’t do unless you have a grant to do it with,” Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “This grant cut the cost of the project almost in half.”

A video was taken of the lockers before the construction began and again after it was completed.

“Everything was original from the lockers to the fixtures, and all of them had more than exceeded their life expectancy,” Bowman said. “You can really see a big difference in the video of the before and after. It was more than time for an upgrade. Those locker rooms had more than served their purpose.”

Bowman gave an update on COVID-19 and how the district is handling the pandemic.

“The good thing I see is our cleaning and all the things we are doing here at the school has been working, and we do not have a lot of

transmission taking place here at the school,” he said. “As a matter of fact, neither of my school districts have seen any transmissions happen. I think that has to do with trying to maintain our social distance and wearing masks and doing the right things like washing our hands.

“The students and staff have been really good about following the protocols on the bus and in the cafeterias.”

But while he is pretty confident there is not going to be any transmission in any district building or bus, he admits he can’t control everything.

“I’m pretty confident when it comes to the school buildings; however, when it starts ramping up outside in our area, it is pretty easy to transmit it if people aren’t wearing masks, and they get in somebody else’s face or are just talking to someone in the grocery store – it’s been proven that can happen if you are not protected,” he said. “So, I think that is our main worry.

“Or, if people just don’t make the right decision – if they are feeling poorly, and they still go out – that kind of thing. I think everyone in the school circle such as our parents and families have done a really good job where they know if they don’t feel good, let’s stay home and make sure we are okay so we don’t cause the school to have to close down.”

(Continued from A1) It takes about four or five days and then, if they are approved, the customer will get a copy of their permit and can go to the dispensary and get their cannabis products.

The benefits of medical cannabis are many, from the relief of pain and inflammation to anxiety. Cancer patients are often prescribed it to help with the appetite during chemotherapy. “I’ve known several people who have taken it while they have gone through chemo, and it has helped dramatically with their appetite,� Newingham said. “But, it also helps with the pain they might be experiencing.�

Like Newingham, Lopez also has a medical cannabis card and takes it for pain. “I have a cyst in my spine and two compression fractures than can never be fixed, and my doctor put me on medication for the pain, but I am more about natural relief of pain rather than the pills they are pushing,� she said. “This is all-natural, and you don’t have to worry about any kind of side effects from a pill or getting addicted to it. The worst that is going to happen is that you are going to go to sleep.�

For Newingham, cannabis completely changed his life. “There are a lot of benefits to taking it, and we have seen them first hand,� he said. “I was taking 180 Vicodin a month and take nothing like that now,

and it is all due to medical cannabis.�

But, as with any drug, when used, it should be used with common sense, Newingham noted. “Just as with alcohol or any other kind of prescription drug you might be prescribed, you have to use your basic common sense when taking it,� Newingham said. “I use it when I’m at home. I’m not going to use it and get out and drive and neither should anyone else – that’s just using your common sense – just like you shouldn’t drink and drive. You need to know your dosage. You shouldn’t be driving while on it because you could be considered driving under the influence.�

So who qualifies for a medical cannabis card? “There are a lot of medical conditions that could qualify a person to get a medical cannabis card,� Newingham said. “They have a whole list of things, such as anxiety, pain, cancer, etc. They are in the process of putting our logo with their logo on papers that will have a checklist for us to go

through with you. These cards are not just issued to everyone.

If the doctor approves it, it gets sent off to the state to get signed off on.�

There is a cost to obtaining a card. “It’s $250 to $300 for every doctor in the state of Illinois just for the doctor’s appointment to try to get the card,� Newingham said. “We went cheaper than that at $230 so we are trying to beat everyone else for the price, and then it is $100 to the state of Illinois per year for the card because the state has to get their money.�

The process is really quite simple. “All you have to do is make your appointment, bring three forms of identification to your appointment and sit down and talk with the doctor and tell him what is wrong,� Newingham said. “He will either approve you or he won’t. If you do not get approved there is no cost – that is just how they work.�

If you do get approved, there is no need to go somewhere else to get supplies. While they don’t carry cannabis products, they

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.�

Colossians 3:13 NIV

As every child knows, “please� and “thank you� truly are magic words, in the sense that they can almost immediately transform the situation at hand and bend others to our will.

But these aren’t the only magic words we should have ready at hand. “I’m sorry� and “please forgive me� are another set of magic words that almost always work to transform a bad situation into one where mercy, forgiveness, and thankfulness for having been forgiven are the overriding principles. These magic words not only work on the people around us, but also work to transform our inner lives. Saying “thank you� sends the message to our conscious and unconscious minds that things are going well and that we have much to be thankful for. Even when things are going poorly it is still possible to give thanks to God for the opportunity to develop our character.

There are always things to be thankful for, and thanking God

Being aware of our guilt and culpability helps us to live more easily and comfortably with our imperfections and inevitable failures.

North Greene rethinking early out program for seniors

By CARMEN ENSINGER

Greene Prairie Press The North Greene School Board is rethinking their policy regarding the early out program for high school seniors where they can leave school early their senior year if they have completed their required number of courses.

The discussion took place at the Oct. 21 school board meeting.

High School Principal Amanda Macias explained why the program was started in the first place.

“We started the program because we realized that we had a lot of seniors who had met all of their course requirements and were taking three and four study halls their senior year,” Macias said. “We thought this program would allow them to at least get a job or something with this time, but now we have realized that more and more kids are getting out earlier and earlier, so now we have kids who only need one or two classes, and we have hardly any seniors at all in the school.”

Things have changed since the program was first implemented several years ago. The district has been partnering with Lewis and Clark Community College to offer several cours-

es that will directly benefit seniors, including some dual credit courses.

Next year, the district is considering a welding course, a child development course and possibly a truck driving course as well as an introduction to criminal justice, which will be a dual credit course — plus a building trades course next fall.

“Therefore, I would like for us to revise the early out program for our seniors to require them to take at least four courses their senior year,” Macias said. “Right now, we have five seniors in the building most of the time, so there is a lack of leadership for the younger kids.”

The board will discuss the item more at next month's meeting.

Grade School Principal Jaclyn Kuchy requested the district bring in additional help for students in the first and second grade in reading.

“I am a little concerned that our Tier 3 numbers are pretty large, especially in the primary grades, and I asked if I could have a retired teacher come in and take some title reading groups like a booster reading program during November and December,” Kuchy said. “Those teachers would ID those kids during those 20 days of instruction before the holiday break, and I would appreciate it if the district

would support us in doing that.”

Superintendent Mark Scott asked Kuchy if she had anyone in mind for the job or if they needed to post for it.

Kuchy said she already had someone willing to do it.

Board member Casey Kallal noted her son benefited from it last year and thought it was an excellent idea.

Dean of Students Brett Berry addressed an issue in the district regarding remote learning. Berry indicated that a number of students are having trouble adjusting to remote learning, especially now as they are being graded on their work. Last year, they were not graded on it. Instead, they were given the grade they had at the beginning of the pandemic, regardless if they did their work or not. But this year, if they did not do their work or turn in their work, they received a zero.

“We took a look at the students, and around 40 percent of them had an ‘F’ in at least one or more classes, and most of those students were remote learners,” Berry said. “They come back to school and get better, but they have dug themselves into such a hole that it’s hard to dig out of. They are not organized, and it’s hard for them to deal with adversity.”

Berry said school leadership

doesn’t want to just give them their grades, but they do want to put some interventions in place to help them bring their grades up if they want to work at it.

“We want to help them, but at the same time we didn’t want to enable them,” he said. “We did want to extend them the opportunity to dig themselves out. We are offering study labs, after school tutoring and extending the window to get the work done, and it seems to be working.”

Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 27, the district will be extending its school day. The elementary school will be dismissing at 2 p.m. with the junior high dismissing at 2:25 p.m. and the high school at 2:30 p.m.

The district currently has 94 students in remote learning, but is considering contracting that out to a third-party vendor at a cost of $500 per student. This would allow the district to do away with remote Mondays and free up teachers to put their time entirely towards in-person learning.

“It is just something that we are looking at, but I can tell you that this is something that all of the teachers are in favor of,” Superintendent Mark Scott said. “Our teachers would no longer be responsible for tracking

Carrollton, St. John’s districts at odds over track use

By CARMEN ENSINGER

Greene Prairie Press There wasn’t much on the agenda to discuss at last Monday night’s Carrollton School Board meeting, but it turned out to be an interesting one nonetheless because of an incident earlier this month at the all-weather track involving the St. John’s cross country team.

Several members of the St. John’s administration and coaching staff, along with parents, were in attendance including St. John’s Superintendent Julie Lake, Athletic Director Brad Flowers and Cross Country Coach Ryan Howard.

The alleged incident occurred a few days before Columbus Day, according to Carrollton Superintendent Mark Halwachs who said he was looking out his window and saw students practicing on the track. He asked his athletic director, Kyle Smith, who was out there practicing, and Smith said he had no idea.

Halwachs then went outside and found the St. John’s coach — Howard — and asked them what was going on.

“He said they were having track practice, and I asked him if he had permission from anyone, and he told me he didn’t need it. That made me kind of mad, and I told him, ‘Yes, you do need it, and you need to leave now,’” Halwach said.

“I wasn’t yelling, and I wasn’t cursing, but they were using our facilities without our permission which creates a huge liability to this district.”

The all-weather track is open for the community to use; however, there is a difference in an individual using the track and a school using the track for team practice. Should an accident happen, the liability falls on the school.

“Anybody in this community can go over there and use that track – I don’t care who they are – I don’t have a problem with that,” Halwachs said.

“But, I do have a problem with another school using it without asking permission or providing us with proof of insurance, because that puts the liability for their students on us.”

Lake, noting she was nowhere near the incident when it took place and is only

going on what she was told, said that the reason they did not ask for permission was because they didn’t think they needed it.

“I don’t think anyone asked permission, but I think it was our understanding that the track is for public use,” Lake said. “We had used it before, and no one had said anything, so I think that is the way it was understood.”

Lake said after the incident on the track, she contacted Halwachs.

“After he had asked our students to leave, I corresponded with him and asked him what proper protocol was, and I apologized and asked what the proper procedure was to get permission to use the track,” she said. “He then sent me the information that we needed to fill out to provide proof of insurance. We are now working on getting that from the Diocese if we need it for future use.”

According to Lake, Howard addressed the Carrollton School Board about his concerns regarding the way the issue was handled.

“His concern was that Mr. Halwachs basically spoke to

the kids instead of just speaking to the coach,” Lake said.

“He was just concerned with the way that was handled. But, I do not know – I did not witness it myself. I am just going on what I heard.”

Halwachs refuted this claim.

“I didn’t say anything to any kids – I said it to Coach Howard,” Halwachs said. “I was stern, but my perception was they were using our facilities without permission, and it is my job to safeguard this district against any liability issue, which is what I saw happening.”

Another issue St. John’s Athletic Director Brad Flowers addressed was about the St. John’s co-op with Carrollton, which was not renewed at the end of last year.

“Brad addressed the board as well about one of the reasons given for our kids not being allowed to use the track was because of breaking the co-op,” Lake said. “But, we didn’t break the co-op, we just chose not to renew it. So we don’t feel that is the same thing as breaking the co-op. Actually, Carrollton broke the co-op the previous year by not offering cross country, which was in

them down and trying to see if they have done their homework – it would free them up to concentrate on their classroom duties.”

Transportation Supervisor John Davidson announced his retirement, and the board appointed Scott VanMeter as his replacement. They also approved raising the substitute bus driver payout from $25 to $30 per run.

The Sept. 30 enrollment in the district is 821 students, 19 less than last year at this time, but up from the first of the year. In fact, those numbers have grown significantly since the first of the year.

The district will be bidding out for proposals for the district’s property and casualty and workman’s compensation insurance after receiving notification that the premiums with its current company had risen 27 percent for the coming year – 23 percent for the property/casualty premiums and 3 percent on workman’s comp.

“I would like to bid it out because nothing prevents them from rebidding it and coming back with a cheaper rate,” Scott said. “I want to try to keep them honest, but I have to have board approval to bid it out and to let them know we are seeking other insurance.”

the agreement.”

Halwachs said the co-op agreement didn’t even enter into the picture.

“If I wanted to get back at them for ending the co-op, I wouldn’t have told them they could use the facilities if they provide proof of insurance,” he said. “No, I’m not happy with the way they left the co-op or the way the co-op was dissolved. I would be lying to say I was. Because in the long term, I don’t think it is good for the kids. I think it has benefitted both St. John’s and Carrollton to have that co-op.”

Lake said the two districts are trying to work it out.

“We did not intend to do anything wrong,” she said.

“We are trying to get it straightened out.”

Halwachs agreed.

“I want to have good relations with St. John's,” he said.

Study shows Greene ranks 10th in state for lowest tax burden

By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press According to one financial institution analyzing the tax burden of counties across the state and the country, Greene County ranks 10th among other counties in the state and has a rank of 2,182 across the nation for the lowest tax burden.

In its sixth annual study on the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset, a New York financial technology company, analyzed the income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county. The places where residents had the lowest overall tax burden across those categories ranked the highest, a new release stated.

Counties on the southeastern edge of the state covered the top ten spots in the ranking, outside of Greene County.

To find the places with the lowest tax burdens, SmartAsset calculated the amount of money a specific person would pay in income, sales, property and fuel taxes in each county in the country.

To better compare income tax burdens across counties, they used the national median household income. They then applied relevant deductions and exemptions before calculating federal, state and local income taxes. Greene, like with the rest of the counties in the state, has a median income tax of $11,220. Illinois has a flat tax rate, which might change with the potential approval of a tax referendum that is on the ballot this year that would introduce a graduated tax system to the state.

In order to determine sales tax burden, the financial tech company estimated that 35 percent of take-home (after-tax) pay is spent on taxable goods. They multiplied the average sales tax rate for a county by the household income after taxes. This balance is then multiplied by 35 percent to estimate the sales tax paid. According to the survey, sales tax in Greene averages at $1,073. For property

taxes, they compared the median property taxes paid in each county. In Greene, the median property taxes paid is $1,277.

For fuel taxes, they first distributed statewide vehicle miles traveled to the county level using the number of vehicles in each county. They then calculated the total number of licensed drivers within each county. The countywide miles were then distributed amongst the licensed drivers in the county, which gave the miles driven per licensed driver.

Using the nationwide average fuel economy, they calculated the average gallons of gas used per driver in each county and multiplied that by the fuel tax.

In Greene, average fuel tax paid in the county is $185.

From all of this data, they then added the dollar amount for income, sales, property and fuel taxes to calculate a total tax burden. Finally, each county was ranked and indexed, on a scale of zero to 100. The county with the lowest tax burden received a score of 100, and the remaining counties in the study were scored based on how closely their tax burden compares.

Greeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax burden index is 64.72; Jersey, 54.01; Calhoun, 59.22 and Pike, 61.92, according to SmartAsset.

The top ten counties in the state with the lowest tax burden are Alexander, Pulaski, Hardin, White, Pope, Gallatin, Lawerence, Edwards, Wayne and Greene. Across the scale, though, the tax burden is not the greatest by a long shot in Illinois in comparison to the rest of the country. For some perspective, Alexander County, with a tax burden index of 69.28 and lowest tax burden in the state, is ranked 1,582nd nationally.

In the US, the county with the lowest tax burden is Yukon Koyukuk in Alaska, just ahead of Aleutians East also in Alaska. Some of the states with the lowest tax burdens include North Dakota and South Dakota, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico among others.

Area residents have witching night out

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

A9

Carrollton, Illinois

Children have spooky fun with superheroes, frozen characters Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Left: A variety of superheroes came to the rescue Sunday afternoon for the 217 Terror Family Friendly Fear Festival.

The City of Roodhouse along with the Roodhouse Police and Fire Department were also a big part of the event. All of the heroes took time out from saving the universe to pose for a photo on the Roodhouse fire truck. Bottom row, left to right: Paw Patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marshal, Jacob Riggs; Frozenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elsa, Robyn Jolly; Frozenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anna, Madi Forsting; Black Panther, Eddie Baldwin; Thor, Shad Taylor and Spiderman, Kody West. Top row, owners Adam and Tina Cathers.

Senior witch Mickey Darr adjusts the hat of her young protege, Maci Williams, as they make their way to another store. A young witch can never start too early to learn the proper hat protocol. Witches from far and wide parked their brooms in Carrollton last Thursday night to participate in Witches Night Out. Businesses around the square offered specials and vendors were set up around the square with their wares. A band even played outside of Copper Stills and Mash. Some places even offered treats.

A few warlocks were seen, but not many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they know when they are outnumbered.

Right: Aria McCall, 9, looks down on this fake corpse which has rolled out of the back of a real hearse while waiting to get inside 217 Terror Haunted House.
