COVID-19 won’t stop White Hall’s Oktoberfest

“We were not able to have our annual celebration on the Fourth of July, but we didn’t want to end such a long standing tradition completely, so we just sort of postponed it,� Lions Club President Danny Powell said. “We still wanted to have our parade and our fireworks, which are both the really big draws to our event. And since the police department has their event in October, we thought we could join in with them for one big event which would benefit both of us.�

The combo event is set to kickoff on Friday evening at 6 p.m. with the White Hall Lions Club Pumpkin Glow Run 5k Glow Run, which begins at Lions Park.

The big day is Saturday, Oct. 10, which is chock full of events

for young and old alike beginning with the parade at 10 a.m. and starting at the North Greene High School. This year’s theme is the Great Pumpkin Parade and is based on Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin. There is no fee to enter this year’s parade. “We have done away with the entry fee as a way to get more people to enter the parade this year because this is such an unusual year,� Powell said. “Normally, we have one of the largest parades around drawing entries from all around, but this year is far from normal, and we can’t expect them this year.�

Social distancing will be practiced during the parade and is encouraged along the parade route as well. “We are hoping that people will heed the advice of the health department and wear their masks and remain a distance of six feet apart along the parade route,� Powell said. “We want this event to be a safe one for everyone involved.�

After the parade, the fun is scheduled to move down to Lions Park where there will be around 20 vendors set up selling a variety of items and games for the kids to play, as well as bingo for the adults.

The Lions Club will be selling food from 11 a.m. until after the fireworks, which begin at dark.

Vendors will be selling their wares from noon until 6 p.m. Bingo will be available from noon until 5 p.m. and then from 6 to 8 p.m.

Enjoy live music by Isaiah Christian and The Rebel Saints from 12 to 5 p.m.

Greenfield Public Library had planned to have Storytime under the Trees Saturday morning but recent rains had made the ground damp, so they decided to have it on the stage in the park instead. Because it was planned to be Storytime under the Trees, the theme was trees.

Proposed bike path is just beginning

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The City of Carrollton is trying to get an 80/20 Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program Grant to construct a roughly one-mile biking and walking path around the city.

But, it is merely the first phase of a project that could blossom into much more in the future, according to local leaders.

Back in 2017, when the city council first discussed applying for the grant, they had their engineer, Benton and Associates, draw up a plan for submission to the state. This plan not only

included the one mile that would connect the city’s three parks, but it also included two additional phases to be completed at a later date.

These other two phases were not relevant to the grant, but it gives an idea of what could be done in the future if the first phase of the project proves to be a success.

Total cost of the first phase of the project is $477,365.

The city’s 20 percent portion would come to $103,453. “You have to start somewhere, and this is a good opportunity for the city to get the majority of the project paid for by the state,� City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap

said. “We are obligated to come up with 20 percent of the project, but in the realm of things, if we can get 80 percent of it paid for, it’s a good deal for us. It’s possible that we could get a USDA grant for our portion of the project even.�

Best of all is that it could lead to bigger and better things down the road including a future shared vehicle bike lane, which would be phase two of the project and a dedicated pedestrian/bike lane. This would be Phase 3. These two phases would ultimately go around the rest of Carrollton.

But for now, the proposed

bike path would include 5,300 feet (a little over one mile) of 10-foot wide, 2-inch thick asphalt running from the city park by the pool around to the ball diamonds over by Farm Service, essentially connecting the city’s three parks.

The path would be constructed along the now defunct railroad line – land which the city now owns.

Along the path will be decorative lighting and strategically spaced benches.

Since the city paid for most of the engineering cost back in 2017, the cost is minimal to go ahead and submit the application this

year, and the chances are three times better, according to local leaders. The cost of preparing the application is $600 — the remainder of the $1,500 cost of preparing the application from 2017 — and the amount of grant money allotted for the program has tripled from $35 million to $105 million.

Alderman Maria Cox has been appointed to head up a committee to help raise funds for the city’s portion of the project as well as garner support for the project.

A public hearing has been scheduled on the walking/ bike path for Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Snake root is pretty but deadly

By BILL HOAGLAND Perhaps you have some of this in your back yard—that knee-high plant in the shady areas with the delicate white flower.

Because of the extremely dry weather we have been having this year, it is everywhere. I am referring to the plant known as “snake root”; the technical name is ageratine altissima. As picturesque as this plant looks, if eaten, it can be deadly for horses, cows, goats and even humans.

Snake root has an interesting but grim history. While it was initially perceived by settlers as a remedy for snake bites— hence its name—it actually was responsible for hundreds of human deaths before someone was able to make the connection between this plant and what was then referred to as “milk fever” or “puking fever.”

Snake root has a chemical ingredient known as tremetol that is very toxic—so toxic that if a cow eats snake root and then is milked, humans drinking that milk become extremely ill. By the same token, the meat of a cow that has eaten snake root is tainted as well and could be deadly if ultimately consumed by humans.

In the first half of the nineteenth century, as settlers were moving into the

middle west, farmers in drought years, when the pastures had dried up, would allow their livestock to roam through the woods scrounging on whatever the livestock could find to eat. Snake root, which primarily grows in shaded areas, was plentiful in the woods and was readily consumed by cows in particular. Then, the cows would be milked, and humans became severely ill by consuming the tainted milk obtained from those cows.

In fact, Abraham Lincoln’s mother is believed to have died from “milk fever.”

Today, it is rare for a human to be exposed to this risk, but the risk continues for cows, horses and goats. If they do consume snake root and become ill with what is now generally referred to as “trembles,” they can display a variety of symptoms including lethargy, bloating and foaming of the mouth. In particular as to cows and horses, they sometimes develop an arched body posture, with the feet either very close together or very far apart. And death is a very clear possibility for any livestock that eats snake root.

So if you care about your horses, and they are in that pasture behind the house, make sure they can’t nibble on that plant with the delicate, white flower. This will require going through the pasture and along the edges of the woods, mowing

or spraying that snake root and making sure that your beloved critters are fenced out of the woods. This year has been one of the worse for the growth of snake root and you need to stay on top of it.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Bears are changing the ecosystem I can remember years ago thinking how neat it would be to have lots of bears in our area.

I knew we had some, and every now and then, one would be spotted on camera, and it would make news. Even though I deer hunted within their roaming area, I never gave much thought as to whether they would bully my deer into the next county and take their turf.

Boy was I wrong!

My trail cam pictures have let me know there’s a new sheriff in town, he’s a little ornerier than the last one and the town’s not big enough for both. It seems the deer that do come around now are a lot more afraid of the bears than they are the hunters. The ecosystem is about to change. The bears are not the first animal in my area to move in. The elk did a few years ago with the help of the local fish and wildlife agency’s moving van.

Just a few years before that, turkey were in that same van – each one of them

released in the same area — the same area my bears want now.

Even though we all can get along, there are going to be times when the pressure of living too close to one’s neighbor is going to test the resolve of the hospitality of each resident. The ecosystem is changing.

What goes for four-legged animals also goes for the two-legged ones. My area has changed over the past several years.

Many people have left and as of late, many others have moved in. The faces have changed along with the traffic. And, the diversity is substantial.

They have come from every part of the country and even from other countries.

They bring their own needs for accommodations but also a positivity that has been lacking since the last economic downturn. As a lifelong resident, I can bemoan the fact that I’m losing my turf to another gang.

OPINION/NEWS

Carrollton, Illinois

I can bemoan longer lines and slower traffic. But, as a Christian, I can thank God for bringing to me what I would normally have to go find: People! People who have needs and questions. People who are searching for authenticity and truth. People who will need to find hope when failure comes and life when it seems circumstances have stripped it away. People who need Jesus. The ecosystem is changing, and I like the change.

remain in their cars if at all possible.

The only thing conspicuously absent from the event is the carnival.

“We were trying to get a carnival to come to what would have been our Fourth of July celebration but could not,” Powell said.

“We found out that the state would not issue the permit to the carnival company due to regulations.”

Garners (Continued from A1) a lot of that stuff now.”

But many years down the road, when the name Garners is mentioned, it is not going to be remembered for the bar that served up countless drinks to the weary workmen or the countless hours spent by men behind a bow taking archery practice.

It is going to be remembered for the many times Dixie and J.D. have provided their banquet facility, free of charge, for special events — as was the case last year.

During Roodhouse’s Trunk or Treat last year, a last minute downpour forced the police department to move the event into the banquet hall. Within a two-hour period, it looked as if the hall had been the site of the trunk or treat all along with booths decorated, spooky lights – the whole Halloween atmosphere – all free of charge to the police department.

This is what Dixie Garner said kept her going for the past 40 years: helping out her community.

“Generally, anything that the city had asked or the fire department or the police department, or anytime they needed something to be held indoors, I was more than happy to let them use it free of charge,” she said. “Same way with the school. I never

charged them anything for using the building. Or for a funeral dinner – I didn’t charge for those either. It is little things like that that gave me the most fulfillment – helping people. I think that is what I am going to miss the most about retiring.”

She has certainly left a lasting impact on Roodhouse said Police Chief Kyle Robison, who has asked for her help on many occasions. But now, he speaks on a more personal level.

“Dixie is one of the kindest, most gentle-hearted human beings that my family has ever had the privilege of being around,” he said.

“We love her and wish her the best in her retirement.

She can also make one heck of a blackberry pie. It’s delicious.”

Garner said she going to miss all of her faithful customers – that goes without saying. The announcement of her retirement was posted on social media, and Garner said she was taken aback by how many posts it received.

“It has been really heartwarming to know that I have made that many friends over the years,” she said. “I’m going to miss all those faithful customers that have been here to support me all those years.”

Illinois Fall Trout Season opens Oct. 17 The 2020 Illinois Fall Trout Fishing Season opens Saturday, Oct. 17 at more than 50 ponds, lakes, and streams throughout the state.

An early opportunity at select trout sites – the Fall Catch-and-Release Fishing Season – will open Oct. 3 at locations marked with an asterisk (*) in the list below.

No trout may be kept during the catch and release fishing period, but anglers can keep trout after the opening of the regular season beginning Oct. 17.

The Illinois catchable trout program is funded by those who use the program through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps and the Illinois Fish Management Fund.

No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from Oct. 1 until the fall trout season opens Oct. 17. Anyone attempting to take (harvest) trout before the legal harvest season opening will be issued citations.

All anglers — including those who intend to release fish caught before Oct. 17 — must have a valid fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces. The daily catch limit for each angler is five trout.

Illinois fishing licenses and Inland Trout Stamps are available at DNR Direct license and permit locations, including many bait shops, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets. Check the IDNR website at: https://www2. illinois.gov/dnr/LPR/Pages/ LicensePermitVendors.aspx Fishing licenses and trout stamps also can be purchased by using a credit card through DNR Direct online via the IDNR website at https:// www2.illinois.gov/dnr.

Not all of the fall trout sites listed below open at 5:00 a.m.

on opening day. Anglers are reminded to check the opening time of their favorite trout fishing location prior to the season. For more information about all site regulations, anglers should contact individual sites that will be stocked with catchable-size trout.

Participants in Fall Trout Fishing Season are reminded to follow current public health directives, including maintaining social distancing guidelines, bringing with them masks in case social distancing cannot be maintained and hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol.

The Forest Preserves of Cook County has not made a final decision on opening for trout season, due to conditions related to COVID-19. Please check the FPCC website at fpdcc.com for updates closer to Oct. 17, 2020.

Unsung Carrollton sports given spotlight in fall

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press In a normal school year, golf and trap shooting are typically two sports that would be overshadowed by volleyball and football, but with COVID-19 postponing those seasons until spring, they were the only options for students at Carrollton High School this fall. “I’m not saying the cancelation of football and volleyball this season has been the reason, but we have seen an increase in participation in both the golf and trap shooting programs this year,� Carrollton Athletic Director Kyle Smith said. “This year in the golf program, we have eight boys participating and six girls. And in the track program, we have 11 kids participating, both of which are up from last year.�

Both of the sports are what the IHSA considered “low risk� sports because they are more or less individual sports with little or no contact between participants.

Also, both sports are self-funded, which means the district provides no funding.

Parents and students are responsible for all fees, equipment, uniforms, transportation and other costs.

Golf practice, meets and tournaments are

held at Lone Oak Golf Course, just outside of Carrollton and Smith said he wants to thank them for their generosity. “They have been a really big supporter of our kids,� Smith said. “They don’t charge our kids to play there, and they also help to pay for some of their tournaments they are in as well so I would like to recognize them.

They are very generous to allow our team to use their facilities and help with our sponsorship.�

The season is about over. Boys Regionals started Tuesday in Jacksonville with the girls traveling to Quincy Notre Dame for their Regional match on Wednesday.

The trap shooting team opened their season on Sept. 15 with their first competition on Sept. 26. Their last competition will be on Oct. 10.

Not to forget the junior high, Smith noted that the junior high girls softball team attained the highest honor attainable this year – Regional Softball Champions. “That is the highest you can go this year – they will not let them go to state this year,�

Smith said. “It might be noted that this is the same group of girls that was slated to play at state last year in volleyball that was cheated out of the opportunity because of COVID19.�

Schools still mulling over what HS basketball will look like

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It has been a question on many people’s mind lately: Will there be high school basketball this winter?

Nothing is written in stone, and what is said today can completely change tomorrow. “The IHSA allows coaches to have 20 contact days with their players prior to the start of the season with their players,�

Carrollton Athletic Director Kyle Smith said. “This means they can meet with the athletes to do sports specific drills, for instance the basketball coach can meet with his players and run basketball drills and run inter-squad scrimmages and things like that. “That is going on right now. They can start actual practice on Nov. 2 – per the guidelines out right now.�

That is unless those guidelines change between now and Nov. 2, which they possibly could. Smith said there are three tiers of sports. High risk, such as football, medium risk, which basketball and volleyball fall under, and low risk, which baseball, softball, golf and track and field fall under.

The track and field events take place in

the spring, but the golf program is currently going on in Carrollton as it is in the lowrisk tier. Football has been postponed until spring. But the question is, what is going on with basketball. “The seasons are contingent upon us changing phases in the state, because right now if things were to stay the same, they won’t be able to compete,� Smith said. “But the hope is things will get better, and we can start competing. If that is the case, games can start on Nov. 30 for both boys and girls. I am really hoping that we can get a season in and give the kids some opportunities – I think that would make a world of difference.�

The IHSA has shortened the seasons for all sports. The basketball season, if it is allowed, would run through the middle of February. If volleyball is allowed to start, it would start in March. “The IHSA has a set of guidelines to follow regarding a Return to Play for sports which we will follow,� Smith said. “We will also be working with the local health department as well as following the guidelines from the Illinois Department of Public Health regarding attendance should we have a season.�

We all need to Praise God for all He does for us each day.

Getting Over It “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.�

Isaiah 43:18 NIV

S

ometimes our reaction to bad events, and our inability to “get over� the event exacerbates the problem. We all have losses that hit us hard, whether the loss is something material, such as money, or something more personal, like a loved one. We should learn from our material losses so as not to repeat them, for instance, learning that it’s not wise to panic when the stock market is down and sell your stocks at a loss. And when the loss is something more serious, like losing a family member, we need to take time to grieve and process our feelings.

Failing to do so may keep us from ever really getting over it. Sometimes the things we need to get over are things which caused us to get angry or resentful. We can harbor feelings of bitterness or desires for revenge for years, or even decades, which can be incapacitating and inhibit us from

getting on with our lives. We may not be able to forget the harm that was done to us, but forgiving the person who we believe wronged us is usually a good thing to do for our own emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Asking God to help us forgive the other person is often the only way to get over our bitterness. Life will go on whether we get over the bad experience or not. The real question is the quality of our life, and that may depend on our getting over it sooner rather than later. – Christopher Simon

Tiger Tales First of all, a correction is needed to last week’s article.

Michaela Theivagt should have been included in the list of new members of the Fleur-de-Lis chapter of National Honor Society. Greenfield CUSD 10 will be using a Remote PD Learning Day on Friday, Oct. 9.

This means that there should be no stu-

dents in attendance. Columbus Day is on Monday, Oct. 12, so students will have a long weekend. For junior high and high school students, Friday is an A day on the schedule, so Thursday, Oct. 8, and Tuesday, Oct. 13, will both be B days. The end of the quarter is fast approaching so all students are encouraged to finish strong.

Have a great week. Go get ‘em, Tigers!

GED classes being taught in White Hall

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Regional Office of Education (ROE) is once again offering General Educational Development (GED) classes at North Greene High School Library on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 4 to 8 p.m.

The classes are taught by long-time educator, Angie Ford of Greenfield, who taught career and technical educational classes with the University of Illinois for 10 years. Before that, she was a family consumer science teacher.

“Because of my background, my focus has always been career technical education, and one of the things we try to do in the GED classes is to prepare students for real life situations and adapting the knowledge they are getting to real-life situations,” she said. “So, it really makes sense to me to show them or talk to them about things that will help them in real life and in world situations along with learning the lessons they will be tested on.”

Ford is relatively new to the ROE, having started just last year. In fact, becoming a GED teacher was more or less just a fluke.

“Actually, I just kind of fell into this,” she said. “They needed a sub teacher for the White Hall classes, and so I had asked about it when I went to register my sub certificate after I left Waverly, and they called and wanted to know if I wanted to sub, and I just kind of fell into it, and I started teaching this class, and I liked it.”

One way to look at a GED class is a safety net for some student populations.

“I just think the way society is today it forces teens to not understand the long-term consequences of some decisions they make and makes it harder for them, so that is why I think GED classes are a really good thing,” Ford said. “Right now, at 16 or 17, receiving that high school diploma might not seem very important to them, but a few years down the road when they try to get a good job, and they are turned down because they don’t have that piece of paper, they will realize how important it is, and we will be here for them.”

But the program is not just here for the young – it is here for the older generation as well.

“We have a mix of old and young as well in classes,” Ford said. “We have had people who are 68 or 70 years old in class right along with the 16-year-olds who are going back to school after 50 years to get their degrees and some of them are going on to college even.”

Like schooling across the state, the GED program has been affected by the pandemic as well.

“When the schools went remote, we were forced to go remote as well,” Ford said. “That had a big impact on us, because a lot of the people we serve do not have the technology available to them to do the work. They might only have a phone at home – they don’t have internet and during the worst of the pandemic, they didn’t even have access to a library to get to a computer.”

Now, since North Greene has gone back to in-person learning, the program is also back to in-person instruction as well.

“So far, I only have one student

enrolled in the class, but I think that is probably due to the fact that we started out with remote learning, and I think that now that we are back to in-person that the enrollment will pick up,” Ford said. “Like I said, a lot of people simply don’t have the technology at home to do the remote learning on their own.”

Last year, Ford said she had five students in the course, and she admits it is a huge commitment on the students' part.

“I think that is one of the things that people don’t realize when they sign up for this class – that it is a commitment on their part,” she said.

“It is not one of those things where they just come in here and just do the work – they have to make a commitment to take the practice tests along the line and get to the point where they feel confident in the different areas where they can do it on their own, but when they come to class we go over the lessons so they understand what they are doing.

“It is important that they get to class. In other words, getting them to consistently come to class has sometimes been a problem.”

The course is free.

“I’m enjoying teaching this course – it’s very satisfying,” Ford said.

“But mostly, I just want people to take advantage of this opportunity because it’s free and its right here in town.”

The ROE serves Greene, Calhoun, Jersey and Macoupin counties. GED classes are also taught in Jerseyville and Staunton.

An orientation night is scheduled for Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. at North Greene High School for those 17 and older.

217 Terror open for the Halloween season

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Illinois Department of Public Health, under the current Restore Illinois Phase 4 guidelines, has banned indoor haunted houses this Halloween season, but thanks to a directive taken by the state back in 2018, a Roodhouse haunted house is one of the few haunted houses in the state who is allowed to be open.

In 2011, Adam and Tina Cathers turned an old, run down house in Roodhouse into one of the spooky houses in Illinois. Every weekend in October, lines form to get the opportunity to get the bejesus scared out of them.

But then, in 2018, the State Fire Marshall’s Office came in and told them that they would have to install an industrial sprinkler system in the interior of the building along with an automatic smoke and fire detection system, or they would shut them down.

This was going to be a major expense on a building that was only used one month out of the year, and the Cathers were faced with a quandry, but not for long.

They simply erected the haunted house outside using temporary structures — in essence, putting them in a favorable position this year, because now they are one of the few haunted houses that are able to be open.

They opened their season on Friday night, Oct. 2.

“We had a great opening weekend and saw an increase in our numbers

versus last year,” Tina Cathers said.

“I received a lot of feedback from the customers saying they were happy we were open because they haven’t been able to do much this year because of the pandemic restrictions.”

The pandemic has meant there are many more rules that must be followed this year to be open.

“We are taking all the necessary precautions to keep our volunteers and patrons safe during the pandemic,” Tina said. “We have signs displayed regarding social distancing and masks as well as hand sanitizer along with a volunteer that monitors the queue line and helps ensure we keep groups social distanced.

We even trained our volunteers to increase the distance they keep between themselves and the patrons this year.”

Even though there are more people coming, for safety reasons, more time is allotted between groups going through.

“We have increased the time in between sending each group into the haunted attraction as this helps ensure that the groups don’t catch up to each other and allows us to maintain the necessary social distancing,” Tina said.

“This also allows us to sanitize throughout the night in any potential high traffic areas.”

Tina said they have not had any blowback from the Greene County Health Department in their opening.

“I spoke with the Greene County Health Department two days before we opened and ensure that we met all the requirements set by the Illinois Department of Public Health as well as the Illinois Department of Public Labor

(who inspects us and gives us a permit to open annually),” she said. “Due to no longer using the old house and moving to an open-air concept, it has allowed us to meet the requirements set by the IDPH to open for the 2020 season. I obtained the COVID guidelines from the Greene County Health Department website and implemented this information into our volunteer training.”

New for 2020 is an addition of a third haunted attraction called “Rage” in addition to a second mini-escape room called “Hellementary” that is located on a school bus. There will also be four new Halloween-themed carnival games to play.

217 Terror is open every Friday and Saturday night for the first four weekends in October from 7 p.m. to midnight and every Sunday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The last weekend they will be open Thursday, Oct. 29 from 7 to 10 p.m. as well.

They will have their annual Family Friendly Fear Festival on Sunday, Oct. 25 from 1-4 p.m. which is free for everyone. Children are encouraged to dress in their Halloween costumes for this event.

“We will continue to take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of the children and parents during this event,” Cathers said. “This is a free event, but we encourage donations to the ‘Charity Boot,’ and all donations collected will be given to the Roodhouse Fire Department to help with their annual Christmas program that purchases gifts for the kids in the community.”

Greene County back at warning level for COVID-19

Alluvial Rural Water Company dissolved by court

28 Illinois counties at warning level for virus

By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press It was short-lived, but Greene County’s stint off the list of warning level counties for COVID19 has ended.

According to state news release, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Friday reported 28 counties in Illinois are considered to be at a warning level for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and one of those counties was Greene. This time though, they are notably joined by another area county that recently grappled with an outbreak from a community event along with individual pockets in the county: Calhoun.

Twenty-eight counties are currently reported at a warning level – Bond, Boone, Brown, Calhoun, Christian, Clinton, Coles, Crawford, DeKalb, DeWitt, Fayette, Greene, Hancock, Jasper, Lee, Livingston, Macon, Massac, Monroe, Morgan, Pulaski, Putnam, Richland, Saline, St. Clair, Wabash, Washington and Winnebago.

A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase.

Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level vary, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with university and college parties as well as college sports teams, large gatherings and events, bars and clubs, weddings and funerals, family gatherings, long-term care facilities, correctional centers, schools and cases among the community at large, especially people in their 20s.

Public health officials are observing busi-

nesses blatantly disregarding mitigation measures, people not social distancing, gathering in large groups and not using face coverings.

Mayors, local law enforcement, state’s attorneys, and other community leaders can be influential in ensuring citizens and businesses follow best practices.

Several counties are taking swift action to help slow spread of the virus, including increasing testing opportunities, stressing the importance of testing to providers, hiring additional contact tracers, working with schools, meeting with local leaders, educating businesses and large venues about the importance of mitigation measures, and distributing donated masks.

IDPH uses numerous indicators when determining if a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county. A county is considered at the warning level when at least two of the previously mentioned metrics triggers a warning.

The Greene County Health Department reported that, although there were no new cases Tuesday, there was another death related to COVID-19.

“The Greene County Health Department, in conjunction with the Greene County Coroner, sadly report another COVID-19 death in Greene County,” an update from the health department read. “This death is related to the long term care outbreak. The Greene County Health Department would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the individual.”

There are 20 active cases in the county as of Tuesday. The health department confirmed 205 have officially recovered from the virus. In total, 16 have died.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council appeared to have dodged a bullet two years ago when they decided not to join the Alluvial Regional Water Company and instead rehab their own water system.

On July 7, Circuit Court Judge April Troemper declared that the company, began by the city of Carlinville, Jersey Rural Water, Dorchester, Bunker Hill and Macoupin Rural Water District was created in violation of the law and is a “void” corporation.

Alluvial had approached the city to join in their proposed water district but were immediately met with opposition from both Carrollton residents and Carlinville residents who had attended the Carrollton meeting with concern about Alluvial.

While Alluvial claimed that it was a not-for-profit corporation, a lawsuit was filed against it in court claiming that it was in fact a private company.

The court agreed, and on July 22, the Secretary of

State dissolved the corporation. The City of Carlinville requested a stay on the judge’s order and continues to pursue the water project while the case is under appeal.

However, the stay was denied by both the circuit court and the appellate court. As of now, Illinois Alluvial Regional Water Company no longer exists.

The city of Litchfield

had offered to let Carlinville hook onto their water system for much less than what it was going to cost to form the Alluvial system, but the council would not consider the idea.

In the meantime, Carrollton has secured funding for a new water tower and water plant as well as water mains and construction is set to begin soon.

Meyers receive Pride of Greenfield award The Greenfield Lions Club has awarded Eric and Janice Meyer of Greenfield the Pride of Greenfield award for the dilapidated property they purchased this year and turned into a magnificent showplace. Greenfield Lions Club members John and Betty Thien presented Eric Meyer with the award recently. The property had been neglected and had become quite a negative distraction to the public passing by as it is located right on the highway going through the center of the town. When the Meyers discovered the property could be purchased, they were very interested because they already owned a property adjacent to it. The Meyers purchased the property at 605 Main St. in Greenfield in the spring of 2020 after the house had remained empty for many years. Eric and Janice decided to give the old tired house a facelift. After several months of work, the house has been completely remodeled inside and out, a retired couple has rented the house from the Meyers.

Ferguson Insurance receives award The Greenfield Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club has chosen Randy Ferguson Insurance as the recipient of the Pride of Greenfield Award. Randy Ferguson Insurance, located at 426 S Main St. on the corner of the Greenfield Square, suffered a loss in a fire on Jan. 12. Thanks to the Greenfield Fire Department containing the fire, there were no injuries. The original plan was to rebuild on the same site as they knew they wanted to remain a part of the community. Several options were discussed with the final being to purchase the building at 507 and 505 Chestnut on the north side of the square. Fergurson Insurance is open at 507 with Mirror Montage continuing to operate at 505 Chestnut.

Ferguson said he is very grateful to Shade Lumber for allowing them space for a temporary office so they could reopen a few days after the fire.
