Carrollton signs off on police contract

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

Childress' anniversary.

See page A8

Though the Carrollton City Council approved its contract with the police union 5-1 at the Oct. 16 council meeting, three of the aldermen were less than enthusiastic with their Aye votes.

Alderwoman Sharon Butler was the only council member voting No to the contract which will give Carrollton police officers a three percent raise for each of the next three years. Aldermen Joe Harness and Tom Wilson added the word

Staredown

“reluctantly” at the end of their Yes votes and Alderman Dewain Freand capped off his vote in favor of the contract with “but didn’t want to.”

Carrollton Mayor David Stendeback, when asked for the specifics of the contract, said the contract was not available.

“The union is preparing a written contract and once we receive it we will sign off on it,” Stendeback said.

Butler, who said she had not even been presented with the proposed contract before it came up for vote Wednesday night, said that wasn’t her only reason for voting against the

measure.

“I voted No because I don’t think the city can afford a three percent raise each year for three years,” she said. “I questioned it because I don’t think we have the money and the economy is awful. No one else, however, seems to worry about it.”

The contract was negotiated on behalf of the city by city attorney Anne Clough and Stendeback without the aid of an outside arbitrator.

“This has been done internally and none of us knew what was going on,” Butler said. “The mayor and our attorney did all the negotiating, so

I guess it’s good we didn’t have to pay an arbitrator. According to the mayor, they wanted a whole lot of concessions, but they settled for only receiving the three percent for three years.”

In other action, the council: n Approved the purchase of a new computer for the city clerk at a cost of $498. n Approved raising the number of hours an employee can work before the city has to pay into the IMRF from 600 hours to 1,000 hours. n Approved purchase of a dump truck at $42,500.

Roodhouse City Council members voted at the Oct. 16 regular meeting to add another employee to its payroll, despite not knowing the exact state of its finances.

The motion to hire an additional employee at the South Shop passed by a vote of 5-1 with aldermen Barb Alred, Terry Garner, Charlie Huffines, Ralph Phillips and Jim Knox all voting in favor and Alderman Garrett Rogers voting No. Mayor Tom Martin does not think now is a good time to hire an extra employee.

“Personally, I am not for this but I can’t vote on it,” Martin said after the meeting. “At this time I’m not so sure we need anyone going into the winter months. Maybe in the spring we might, but given that we don’t have a clear picture of our finances right now, I just don’t think it wise to add another employee to the payroll at this time.”

There are currently four men, including the supervisor, who work at the South Shop. A motion to give the workers in the South Shop, which is not unionized, an 8 percent raise was tabled until the next special meeting.

“They wanted to do some more research on it before they made a decision,” Martin said.

“They were saying that no one had had any raises for awhile so they wanted to go back and look at the past two or three years and see just what the salaries were

and who had had raises and who had not.”

Martin confirmed the council had brought up hiring back Tim Garner, Alderwoman Terry Garner’s husband and the longtime employee who was terminated under the former administration for alleged theft of overtime.

“It was brought up but I don’t know what the outcome of that

“Personally, I am not for this but I can’t vote on it.”

will be,” Martin said. “It will be a council decision, which I am not able to vote on.”

Martin said it was his understanding that per the city’s ordinance, the position must be posted in-house, giving any current employee the opportunity to apply for the job first.

“I’m going through the ordinances and everything I can find to find out how that does work,” Martin said. “But I do know at least one employee wants the job and has applied for it.”

Ultimately it will be the utility committee, consisting of Barb Alred, Charlie Huffines and Garrett Rogers, who will make the recommendation to the full council.

“They recommend who they want and then the whole council gets a chance to vote on whether

or not they want that person,” Martin said.

If the council chooses to ignore its ordinance giving inhouse employees priority for any open position within the city and chooses Tim Garner, Martin said Alderwoman Terry Garner would have to abstain.

“As a matter of fact, she should not even be in on the conversations if that is what their consideration is going to be,” Martin said. “It hasn’t come down to that yet, but if it did, she absolutely would not be involved in it. Our city clerk told me as far back as she can remember the in-house employees had first chance at any openings so this should be done the same way.

That shouldn’t change under this council.”

Martin said it was time the council stopped spending the taxpayers money until the city gets its finances straightened out.

“We are going to have to put a freeze on spending,” Martin said. “I know we came into this needing a lot of things – there are things that haven’t been done for many years, for instance we needed to update the truck and tools. There were different things we needed to do but I think, as I said before, we’re getting to the point where it is time to stop and get this financial thing straightened completely out before we do a lot of spending, and my idea was to wait until we get the total controllers report on where we are at and get this audit over with and maybe then consider hiring. We are coming into the slow months, anyway.”

n Accepted a proposal from Combs in the amount of $5,170 for tree removal. n Approved purchase of an incubator for the sewer plant at a cost of $4,000. n Approved a bond ordinance for the sewer project. n Approved two nights of trickor-treating on Oct. 30 and 31 from 6-8 p.m. on houses with porch lights on only. Ages 12 and under.

The next regular finance meeting will be on Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. with the council meeting to follow at 7 p.m.

Effects of Obamacare already being felt locally

By ROBERT L YONS Campbell Publications The date requiring every resident to carry health insurance is nearing. But, many associated with health insurance locally are not overly optimistic the initial affect will be positive.

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, mandates citizens have a health insurance plan in place by the end of March 2014. The concept is that if everyone has insurance, the quality and affordability will increase. As part of the legislation, insurance companies will be forced to accept customers who have pre-existing conditions and provide preventative care coverage.

However, local employers, healthcare providers and insurance agents aren’t confident the plan will meet its goal, at least not early on.

“It’s an ambitious project,” Dr. Ron Johnson, who practices at locations in Pike and Scott counties with Quincy Medical Group, said. “To cover everybody with insurance like we did for car insurance is not a bad idea, because it evens out the payment. But to require everybody to have preventive care, as well, front loads the cost tremendously. The payoff will be incredible on the other end, though.”

Being able to detect and treat diseases and other health risks early on will be a tremendous boon to the healthcare providers, according to Johnson. He said by keeping the populace healthy, thus at work and paying for insurance, the systems begins to

sustain itself.

“The first few years are going to be painful,” he said.

Johnson said he believes it will take three to four years before the benefits of Obamacare will begin to even out the negatives.

The downside may be hard to overcome, according to Jessica Dean, an insurance agent with the Jerseyville- and Carrolltonbased company Whitworth, Horn and Goetten. Dean said many individuals have been inquiring about health insurance since Oct. 1, a date widely advertised as the opening day of the insurance exchange. She said everything she’s encountered regarding the reform – the website healthcare.gov, the coverages and premiums – has been discouraging.

“Unfortunately, [for current clients] their options are less coverage for more money, as of right now. I haven’t seen anything any better for them, unless they are low income,” she said. “That’s been my experience with my customers, so far.”

With a penalty in the first year for failing to purchase a policy of just $95 or one percent of taxable income, whichever is greater, Dean said there’s not much incentive for someone like a young, uninsured healthy male to enroll. But, it is the inclusion of healthy individuals which equalizes the risk for insurers. Even worse, she said, many who are insured now may not be for much longer.

Carrollton man nabbed for sex with a minor

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Less than 24 hours after being released on bail following burglary charges, a Carrollton man found himself back behind bars again – this time on three counts of alleged aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor.

Daniel C. Hardwick, 22, was arrested

by Carrollton Police Thursday night on a Greene County warrant accusing him of three counts of sexual abuse which allegedly occurred on Sept. 2 and again on the Sept 7 and 8 with a minor who was at least 13 years of age but under 17 with the defendant being more than five years older than the minor.

According to Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen, a family member had just bonded Hardwick out of jail Thursday

morning after he was picked up on a charge of burglary.

According to the Illinois State Police Sex Offender website, Hardwick is listed as a Sexual Predator as the result of two charges of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse of both a female and male victim under the age of 13.

Under a negotiated plea agreement in April 2010, Hardwick pleaded guilty to the first count and the second count was dismissed. According to the Sex Offender website, the victim was only 9 years old and Hardwick was 17.

Under the plea agreement, Hardwick was sentenced to 24 months probation and fined $25 a month in addition to having to register as a sex offender.

As of Monday, Hardwick remained in Greene County Jail with bail set in the amount of $60,000.

White Hall woman waiting for double lung transplant

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Misty Hammon of White Hall is waiting on a single phone call which could literally save her life.

Hammon, 38, suffers from Interstitial lung disease and the only cure is to receive a double lung transplant, which she is waiting on.

Interstitial lung disease affects the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs.

Hammon discovered something was wrong back in 2009 when she had a cold that just wouldn’t go away.

“Because I couldn’t get rid of this cold, they did a chest X-ray and they found my lungs didn’t look well,” Hammon said.

“So they sent me to a pulmonologist in Springfield. I was there for a couple of years and wasn’t getting any better so I was sent to see a pulmonologist at St. Louis University Hospital.”

On July 24, Hammon said she got sick and thought it was just another cold so she went to her primary care physician who prescribed antibiotics.

“I didn’t get any better after taking the antibiotics so I decided I better go to St. Louis to see my pulmonologist,” Hammon C

MISTY HAMMON said. “He admitted me right away and I was in intensive care until Aug. 7 when they transferred me to Barnes Hospital because that is where they do the lung transplants.”

Hammon was at Barnes from Aug. 7 until Sept. 17 when she finally got to come home. Her condition was serious enough for her to be put on the transplant list.

Obamacare

(Continued from A1) there who will stop taking coverage, which is the exact opposite of what this plan is supposed to do for our country,” she said. “And they’re not going to be the people who are considered poor.”

Not only may some individuals drop coverage, some employers are reconsidering even offering the benefit. Dave Wittman, manager at Jerseyville’s Sinclair Foods, said the small, family-owned grocery store tries to take care of its employees, but the new law is making it tough to do. With the Affordable Care Act came a new definition of full-time employee. Now, anyone who works at least 30 hours a week is eligible for full-time benefits.

Wittman said management is weighing its options, which may include limiting many employees to less than 30 hours, or dropping insurance from the benefits package all together.

“We go from having 10 or 15 full-time employees to 30. That just doubles everything we have,” Wittman said. “The way the grocery business is now, we can’t just go out there and raise our prices on everything to pay for that because the industry is so competitive. It’s

definitely an issue we’re going to have to make some tough decisions on.”

Pike Pig Systems in Pittsfield has already made a decision. The company will no longer offer group insurance as of Jan. 1, 2014, according to co-owner John McIntire.

Instead, employees will be given a stipend on their paychecks to cover the cost of an insurance policy.

“A lot of the reason we offered the group policy was for pre-existing conditions. Now there’s no advantage to that,” McIntire said.

Businesses with 50 or more employees will be assessed a fine if they do not offer health insurance – both Sinclair Foods and Pike Pig Systems employ fewer than 50 – but if any employee is offered the benefit at any company, every full-time employee must be offered it, as well.

Wittman said if the decision is made to no longer offer health insurance, the full-time employees could see a raise to offset the cost of purchasing it themselves.

But, receiving that extra money on a paycheck doesn’t necessarily even everything out. Insurance premiums are on the rise to the tune of 10 to 15 percent per year, according

Greene Prairie Press

to McIntire, so within a few years that stipend may not make much of an impact.

“I think employees are going to realize how much of a benefit company-provided health insurance was when they see what they have to pay,” McIntire said.

Government subsidies exist for families and individuals earning up to four time the poverty level, which is $23,550 for a family of four – so a family of four could earn up to $94,200 and still qualify for some assistance, on a sliding scale.

To help people navigate the enrollment process, the Illinois Department of Insurance is certifying assisters. Assisters cannot charge fees, according to getcoveredillinois.gov. In this area, each county’s health department has been tasked with assisting.

“You would provide the person an opportunity to access the webpage where you sign up for health insurance, and give some explanation in terms of eligibility,” Calhoun County Health Department Administrator Steve Shireman said.

Shireman said he and representatives from other counties are still in the training process, which includes meeting federal and state

requirements.

“We’re trying to get up and going as quickly as possible,” he said. “We encourage people to come and at least look into what kind of programs are available.”

An influx of insured individuals could stretch some healthcare providers thin, though Dr. Johnson expects that affect to have more of an impact in larger urban areas.

“This part of Illinois is poor enough and old enough that an awful lot of our residents qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. I don’t think we’re going to see thousands of new patients,” Johnson said.

The doctor said patients are going to have to become more accountable for their own health in terms of taking care of their weight, refraining from tobacco use and receiving regular immunizations. He also noted patients with problems like high blood pressure and diabetes can be seen less often, unless an issue arises necessitating a doctor’s visit.

“By changing a lot of things in the way we do our practice, we can accommodate some of the influx without more manpower,” Johnson said. “But, if everybody has insurance during flu season, watch out.”

Transplant (Continued from A1) The doctors have no idea what caused Hammon to get the disease.

“It’s not something you are born with but they have no idea what causes it,” Hammon said.”They did say I’ve had it going for awhile. I have always had allergies so I could have had it for awhile and not even known it until I got sick and they did the chest x-ray.”

Hammon also suffers from a connective tissue disorder.

“My body thinks my lungs are a disease and they attack it,” Hammon said. “It’s like when you get a cold and your immune system kicks in and starts to fight it and you start to get better. My immune system is suppressed to keep my body from attacking my lungs.”

Hammon is on oxygen 24 hours a day now, tires very easily and suffers from a persistent cough.

“The only option for me is to stay on my medications and hope they keep me stable enough until the lungs become available,” Hammon

said. “It’s a very expensive procedure and my insurance runs out the first of November.”

Hammon works at the Greene County Sheriff’s Department as a dispatcher but has been on medical leave. The county pays for her insurance and because she can no longer work she has to go on COBRA. According to the Department of Labor website, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances.

“The simple fact is I can’t afford COBRA since I’m not working,” Hammon said. “I am on my husband Richard’s insurance, though, which is good, but the expenses are piling up.”

So far, Hammon has racked up more than $500,000 in medical bills

this summer alone from her extended stay in intensive care.

One of the requirements after receiving the double lung transplant is Hammon will have to live in St. Louis for at least three months in order to be close to the hospital.

This is an expense which will not be covered by insurance.

“I have to pay for that myself,” Hammon said. “There are different agencies which have apartments close to the hospital you can use, but they still cost money.”

To help defray some of these expenses, several benefits have been scheduled for Hammon including a quarter auction this Saturday at 2 p.m. at Garner’s in Roodhouse and one in her former hometown of Atwood on Nov. 2.

Last weekend her son’s junior league football team, the North Greene Knights, held a fundraiser.

“The people of Greene County are simply amazing,” Hammon said. “I never expected the people of Greene County to be so wonder-

We came home the other day and looked in our mailbox and there was a $20 bill – we don’t know from who. There are good people out there – there really are.”

Hammon uses Facebook to keep everyone updated on her condition and she also has a website, gofundme.com, through Facebook which allows people to make donations.

The only thing Hammon can do now is wait – and pray.

“Your entire life can change in the blink of an eye with that one phone call,” Hammon said. “You can be in the store and if you get the call that they have the transplant for you, you drop everything you are doing. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who is keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.”

Is the

tithe archaic and something that was just in the Old Testament? Look at the context behind this passage of scripture: This a dialogue between God and the people of Israel. The Israelites have made their way back after exile in Babylon. And the Israelites are kind of dense. Because they think God has left them. But God reminds them that He does not change. He does not leave. They are the ones who have left Him. And they need to return to Him. Return, not “if” but just return. And the people here are honest in their response, “What do you mean we need to return? We haven’t done anything wrong!” But return used here is a conditional statement. You will not experience the blessings of Yahweh until you make the first move. So, how do we make that first move? Stop robbing God. How does one rob God? Bring the whole tithe. What is a tithe? It’s the first tenth. Leviticus 27:30-32, “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 If a man redeems any of his tithes, he must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 The entire tithe of the herd and flock— every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD.” The tithe would go to support the Levite priests, who are in charge of taking care of the temple, supplying it. They are also in charge of ministry within the temple.

Programs if you will. Why was tithing important? Because everything belongs to God, He entrusts us to be keepers of what is His. Stewardship means returning the first portion; it’s a way to thank God and keep us focused on how we use the resources at our disposal. You might need to live on a budget; it’s like making a promise to God to give a 10th of your wages, your time, talents, and relationships. We are part of the same covenant that God had with the Israelites. Paul says in Romans 11 that we have been grafted into the same tree. Romans 11:17, says “If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root So why are we not all good at tithing?

Only 5 to 7 percent of Christians actually tithe. Most of us have never been taught. My mom made me tithe 10% of my first paycheck at age 16. Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Maybe we lack the discipline or are indebted elsewhere. We want something for nothing. What affects our giving to God? Is it the market?

Is it the mortgage? Is it the debt on the credit card? We do not truly understand our part in the covenant.

We are in a loving relationship with God. I strayed, just like the lost sheep, and he came and found me.

He loves me and I love him back.

That is why I give. 2 Corinthians

9:7 says, Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Gifts to my wife have to be given from the heart to show how much I care about her. Our giving “cheerfully” is the response of our gratitude for what He did for us, not a convenience to our wallets! The law of the tithe is totally contrary to what the world tells us. The World says to hurry up and get all you want and give God what is left over. The tithe says to give to God first and he multiplies the rest that is left. When we give, we are giving what is not really ours to begin with. It is not ours to keep, nor is it something we would even want to bring with us to eternity. We give what we cannot keep to gain what we cannot lose!

This was a down economy at the time in Ancient Israel and God tells them not to short Him. Test God. Are we giving him our best? Try giving to Him first! The Challenge: Go to the next level. If you are not giving, start giving something. If you are casually giving, start giving proportionately. Work your way up to 10%.

If tithing at 10%, move to sacrificial or spirit-led giving. Proverbs 3:9-10, Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. Do you trust God to take care of it? Put your faith into action and see what He does.

Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor It was a beautiful day. The leaves are falling fast, but so pretty in color. The wind helped make them fall. A small group in church, but a good one. The weather is like some Christians, changeable, but winter is sure on the way. Frost this week, so the weatherman says, so get your flowers in. We still need rain for the pastures, but so many crops still out.

This last week was a busy one and this week will be also. The wiener roast is at 5 o’clock Saturday, Oct. 26. Bring some wieners or whatever you would like and have fun with all the rest. The fire will be warm, but dress warm also, There will be fun things for all the children. We missed those who were not there Sunday. Our prayer list is the Malin family and we want to praise God for the beautiful baby boy that he sent to Cody and Ashley Malin on Monday. Such a beautiful gift.

Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but do not worry God never blinks. No one is in charge of your happiness, but you.

an angel, He told him he was going to do something for him. God sends messengers to each of us. If God speaks to you, you need to heed the message. If we are not servants of God we are servants of the devil. How many times have you asked God, “Why??” God doesn’t always answer the way we want or as quickly as we want, but He always answers. God wants you to prosper, He doesn’t want you to struggle. You need to get ready to receive These blessings from God. Are you living for God?

Believer's Baptist Church news

Let me take a moment to say how thankful I am to pastor the good people of Believers Baptist Church.

Sunday we celebrated BBC’s 36th year of serving the Lord in the community.

During the service, the music spoke to our hearts as our choir sang about Heaven and our ladies group sang about prayer. The piano offertory reminded us of the joy of having God as our Guide. It was a real blessing to see the folks who are still with us as charter members, and also to see those who have been saved through the ministry of BBC. Glorifying God by sharing the gospel and helping believers follow Christ is the primary goal of our church. I preached from Acts 16 where both a good woman and

a hardened jailer accepted Christ as their Savior--the gospel is good news for everyone! Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by some of the best cooks in Greene County. We are thankful for all of our guests who made the effort to be with us.

I am grateful for the friendship of our church, and I enjoy serving my Savior with them.

If you are looking for a church home, I would like to personally invite you to visit us. We meet on Sundays at 9:30am, 10:30am, and 6:00pm. On Wednesdays we meet for prayer and the children enjoy a service of their own at 7:00pm. If you need us to pick you up, give us a call at 942-3007.

Calvary Baptist Church news Oct. 20. Welcome by Bro. Brad.

Announcements: Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.

Bible Study led by Bro. Johnny Renkin; Oct. 27 potluck after morning services. It’s time to start doing shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse.

We are collecting socks, caps and gloves for the grade school. School supplies were delivered to the school. Sunday School report by Sis Mary. Bro. Brad accompanied

by Sis Donna led congregation in singing of hymns. Children’s Penny March as they went downstairs for church with Baxy.

Message by Bro. Barter was from Romans 7:1-17. Paul is giving instruction to you and I about God’s law and the law of sin.

When the people worshipped the golden calf they broke God’s law.

The law has dominion over us as long as we live. When we come to church we come to hear the word.

Fellowship with others, and lift one another up. As God’s children we are part of the family of God. God blesses his church and his people.

Of course the church consists of his people. We became dead to the law

by the body of Christ. We should be married to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Sunday evening prayer and singing of hymns. Bro Baxter preached from Romans 7: 18-25.

Paul says he knows that (in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. He says he delights in the law of God, but sin still is present. It is a constant battle to do good and not bad things. Keeping our eyes focused on God helps us to do good. He says he thanks God through Jesus Christ our Lord, so with the mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh the laws of sin.

When the time falls backward Nov. 3, we will be having church and other activities at 6 p.m.

Please pray for churches everywhere, the lost, those in nursing homes and hospitals, those recuperating from surgeries and those with upcoming surgeries, the bereaved, the sick, traveling mercies, our troops and their families, our country, our leaders and one another.

Charity Southern Baptist Church news Rev. David K. Ford and Charity Southern Baptist Church invite you to worship with us. Sunday school is at 9:30am, church at 10:30.

Choir practice Sunday evening at 6, church service at 7. Wednesday night family supper 6 pm, Bible Study 7 pm. If you need a ride to any service, please call Kelly Moore 217-248-0901. Our purpose in our church is to honor God, reach the unsaved, and with our utmost ability and faithfulness promote growth in the Lord. In so doing, we will support fellowship, become alert for new prospects and always work to reclaim inactive members.

Last week Brother David read Psalm 145:1-21. Rather than delivering a prepared message, he felt The Spirit request a series of testimonies and praises to be presented

by His followers. Many members stood up and gave their praises for

the experiences they had had when God was there for them. It really was moving to hear just how close God has always been to everyone and how active He is in all of our lives. How has He shown His presence to you in your life? Do you acknowledge His glory every day?

This week Brother David gave a message from Genesis 1:14-19. We are to seek First the Kingdom of God. We do this most effectively by studying up in God’s Word. The more familiar we become with His Word, they farther He pushes us in the direction of perfection. The ultimate goal is to be with Him in Heaven, but before we get there, we want to be Like Him. It’s wild to think about a God so big that He can create a universe with billions of galaxies and billions and Billions of stars and solar systems and planets...

And He is the same God that created

me. He didn’t just create me. He Knows Me and Pays Attention to me. I am a piece of dust compared to the cosmos and yet He wants my heart. He wants yours too. Don’t allow yourself to be deceived into believing He doesn’t care about you or doesn’t think about you or has to be chased in any way. He is waiting for you. He has given you His Word, His Spirit and His Son. He just wants your heart.

We had a special performed by Barb Kahl, “Amazing Grace”. Julie George led praise and worship with “Come Just As You Are” and “Sovereign Lord.” October is World Hunger month. We will be collecting canned green beans for the Greene County We Care Food Pantry located in our storage shed. Place in foyer and thank you for the help! Saturday, the 26th the We Care Food Pantry will be

We would like to invite you to our Sunday Services. Our service today October 20th included music from our choir singing “ I’d rather have Jesus “ and a special message from our guest speaker, Evan Marbury. We were so pleased that Mr. Marbury and his wife would come back to our church as a guest.

They have brought special blessings to our congregation and we are so blessed.

Today our Women’s Bible Study Group donated a book called “God’s Promises” and compliments of the American Baptist Women’s Ministries for each person attending our church service.

Our message today was on Matthew 14: 22-31 Jesus walks on the water. How do you respond in the face of a storm? Jesus wants us to keep our eyes on Him. Have faith that He is in charge. Why am I going through turmoil? Lt. Marbury shared the story of Horatio G. Spafford, the author with stead-

fast faith who wrote the hymm “It is Well with My Soul”. James 1: 2-3 tells us that testament of your faith makes us steadfast. Jesus does not want us to doubt Him and to always know He will be there for you in any situation.

Metamorphosis

M

ost of us probably remember the word “metamorphosis” from our high school biology class, where we learned that many insects have a larval or immature stage but then undergo rather extreme changes as they enter their adult stage. Caterpillars turning into butterflies are probably the best example, but tadpoles turning into frogs are equally dramatic. Human beings undergo less dramatic physical changes, but we sometimes undergo psychic or spiritual metamorphoses which can

be very extreme. Conversion experiences are sometimes that way. A person living a wayward life may be so moved by a religious experience that they completely change their ways, almost overnight. Sometimes the changes are so drastic that they are hardly recognizable to their friends and family. We often describe these experiences as if we had emerged from a cocoon or the scales had fallen from our eyes. But, our blindness is sometimes of our own making.

And sometimes we prefer to stay in our cocoons when what we really need is to venture forth and spread our wings in order

Carrollton schools awarded Bright Star Award for Education Excellence

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The accolades just keep coming for the Carrollton School District.

Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox informed the school board at the Oct. 21 meeting that the district has been awarded the 2013 Bright Star Award for Educational Excellence.

All 866 school districts in the state are considered for the award and Carrollton was one of only 91 schools earning the distinction this year.

“The award criteria are based on those districts whose students’ academic performance ranks in the upper one-third of Illinois school sistricts but whose expenditures per pupil ranks in the lower one-fourth of Illinois school districts,” Dr. Cox said. “This award demonstrates the outstanding support that we have from our staff members and community. Our staff members continue to go above and beyond for our students.”

Dr. Cox also thanked Berdan Baptist Church and WalMart for their donations to the district. Berdan Baptist Church donated two backpacks filled with school supplies for

the students and Jerseyville WalMart provided $1,000 in gift cards to the grade school staff to provide additional resources for the classrooms.

“These local donations are greatly appreciated and demonstrate the great support for our school in the community,” Dr. Cox said. “We appreciate everything our community does and want to acknowledge them for that.”

The financial review as part of the audit last month found that the district’s limitation of administrative costs have exceeded the five percent cap for the upcoming year. Therefore, the district is required to hold a public hearing prior to next month’s board meeting to answer any questions the public might have.

Board member Melissa Wade shared a concern she had with the finding of the audit that the district was deficient in its internal control system in that it lacks a checks and balance, which is the case with most small school districts who do not have the funds to employ additional personnel in the office to provide the necessary checks and balances.

“There is a deficiency there that someone else should be responsible

instead of just Nancy (bookkeeper),” Wade said. “We have to come up with policy to make that happen. There is too much liability and if we don’t separate it we are going to find ourselves in trouble. I’m just not comfortable with the way it is now. It is not financially responsible for the district to have Nancy do it all. We have to come up with a solution and I don’t think, as a board, we are being fiscally responsible if we don’t.”

Dr. Cox said the implementation of P-Cards (Procurement Cards) will be one step towards the goal of more checks and balances.

In order to enhance efficiency within the district’s business services, the district will be utilizing P-Cards.

This system will streamline the current purchasing procedures, eliminating some paperwork by consolidating small purchases into single payments and providing additional checks and balances within the system. The locally administered system will also provide rebate options and fraud protection.

“This process is one of the many steps being initiated and taken to enhance business operations within

grant was to be in compliance with the CIPA. Once the district completes the new infrastructure it will be in compliance and able to receive the grant funding.

The board approved signing a new service lease with CDS Office Technology for copier services within the district. They also approved Prairie State Insurance Cooperative as the new contracted service provider for the district property and workman’s compensation insurance. Refreshment Vending Services was approved as the district’s vending contractor to provide vending and concession products and services.

“All three contracts provide needed services to the district and were selected after reviewing current services and proposals from numerous vendors and companies,” Dr. Cox noted.

Dr. Cox recognized the middle school boys baseball team for its trip to the state playoffs. The boys went undefeated throughout the regular and post season, losing in the quarterfinal game at State. Members of the team honored were: Tyler Barnett, Jacob Bertman, Colton Bottom, Alex

Bowker, Peyton Cox, Hayden Jones, Curtis Lake, Mitchell Friedrickson, Lance Schnelt, Blake Struble, Hayden Stringer, Nathan Walker and Kyle Waters.

Charles Helton, IV will be recognized next month for his accomplishments in cross country. Helton placed third in the cross country sectional and placed 16 at the state level out of a total of 207 runners.

In other action the board approved: Ryan Brunaugh as volunteer high school assistant girls basketball coach.

Shelby Bostruck as volunteer middle school assistant girls basketball coach.

the district,” Dr. Cox said.

The District Technology Team gave feedback to the board regarding the current issues surrounding the implementation of a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) policy.

“We are looking at additional infrastructure resources to provide wireless access to our students for enhanced instruction,” Dr. Cox said. “Providing students access through our system will provide the needed filters necessary to protect our students from inappropriate sites and to comply with CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act).”

Once the infrastructure is in place the district will be able to move forward with the policy and enhance the current procedures.

“We look forward to having this capability within our school in order to provide enhanced 21st century learning environment for our students and staff members,” Dr. Cox said.

The district received notice that their E-Rate application was approved for FY14 with funding up to $32,643 available to the district for various electronic services to the district. One of the requirements to receive this

Furnishing the empty nest For parents, experiencing their kids leaving the nest can not only be a momentous event, but it can also be one sometimes tinged with a bit of sadness. After all, your little boy or little girl is all grown up now.

However, looking at the bright side, this means you now have one or more rooms that can be turned from a kid's bedroom into a space you can now enjoy.

You may have been making due with storing your personal effects into rooms in the house simply because of necessity. But now that the kids have flown the coop, it's possible to take over their rooms and turn them into something tailored to you and your spouse. The following are a few transformations that can take place.

Craft Center Many people enjoy making things with their hands, be it painting ceramics or knitting sweaters.

A room that is set aside for different types of craft projects can keep work undisturbed and organized.

Walls filled with shelves and storage containers alongside bulletin boards will create a utilitarian feel to the room. Have a large task table so you can spread out work and comfortable sitting chairs. Stick

with a flooring material that can be cleaned quickly, like tile or wood in the event of spills.

Sports Room Sports enthusiasts may want to set up a room devoted to collections of trophies, collector cards, memorabilia, and any other sports-related items. Add a sofa or recliners in the room as well as a big-screen TV, and this spot can be the perfect place for watching the game undisturbed.

Home Office For those who have been doing bills at the kitchen table or trying to work from home amid the noise of the kitchen or the television in the family room, a home office can be just the solution. If the room is large enough, place two desks face-toface so it can be a his-and-her work center. Use neutral paint colors so that it will be more of a genderneutral space.

Private Bedroom Although topics of the bedroom are often kept hush-hush among friends and family, many men and women aspire to one day having their own bedrooms. After time retreating from the master bedroom because of a spouse snoring or simply because of being on oppo-

Choosing a doctor Choosing the right doctor is a critical decision that requires some in-depth research. Very often individuals make this decision purely by which names turn up on a health insurance plan, while others choose the doctor who is closest to their homes. Although managed care has changed the way many look for and use doctors, this doesn't mean a person should remain hands-off in the selection process. Narrow down potential doctors by their specialty, academic history, proximity to home, and whether the doctor is board-certified. A doctor who is board-certified has taken several extra years of training and passed a difficult board examination. To remain board-certified, he or she sometimes must complete continuing education and periodic recertification. After the list is made, you can select two or three eligible

doctors and make appointments for non-care-related interviews. This way there is the chance to gauge the doctors' personality, how well the interaction goes, and howcomfortable you would feel in his or her care. The doctor who best meets this criteria is likely going to make the best fit.

ted, Assis But nt ende p e d n I Living 5+ 6 ctive For A iors Sen

site schedules, separate bedrooms enable you to create rooms that cater to you. Put in the amenities you desire and encourage your spouse to revamp the other bedroom according to his or her desires as well.

Guest Retreat Many times guests are forced to sleep on a pull-out bed or sleeper sofa when staying over at a loved one's. Having an extra bedroom available can enable friends and family members to stay overnight with comfort and ease now. Decorate the room in neutral colors and invest in comfortable, hotel-quality linens for the utmost in luxury.

Library Some people simply enjoy the ability to curl up with a good book in a quiet space. Turn a vacated bedroom into a cozy nook complete with bookshelves, a plush chair and decorative reading lamp. Fill the rook with favorite books, decorations and a side table to house a cup of tea or coffee.

Regardless of how you feel when your children leave home, redecorating empty rooms into new, functional spaces can help add a positive spin to your suddenly empty nest.

STADIUM

Greenfield News

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

As early as 1922, the Greene County Fair was held in October. In the 1930’s we were delighted; we attended school 1/2 day and went to the fair the other.

Some of the boys had been over previously tending to Mr. Frank C. Smith’s ponies and their 4H projects - lambs and pigs.

Dad and mother drove Mel and me to this fall event. We signed at the office and dad bought our tickets for the rides and grandstand.

Mother’s cousins - Nelle Will, Dicie Witt and Rita Dewey were working there. Miss Rita had been my second grade teacher.

Greenfield High band was going to perform. Kathlyn Ray Stickel, Kitty Midkiff, Bernadine Cole, Tekla Tendick, Marian Tendick, Eugenia Jennings, Jerry Gilleland, Elmer Love, John Metcalf, Julian Entrekin, Bob Smith, Lovis Meng, Rives Pranger, Richard Tendick, Bob Price, Horace Armold - there were more that I don’t remember; I believe Mr. Killes was the instructor.

It must have been Republican Day as Mr. Don Piper was escorting the Honorable Sid Simpson. Our groups gathered at the Art Hall. Virginia Gable had an angel food cake and aprons; Betty Barton - a hooked rug; Helen Stickel - growing mush-

rooms; Mary Love - Kodak photos; Melba Love - a big pumpkin; Audree Witt - beet pickles; Betty Meneley watermelon. Virginia and I helped them to get their prizewinners to the Art Hall - she drove her grandfather Ben Mason’s new Chevrolet. We went in style. Mel’s gang rode in the back of dad’s Cadillac truck. Russ and Jake Morrow had an unusual display of ladies’ belts. They saved walnuts in slices (picked out the nuts) shellaced and threaded with string. Bob Morrow and Wayne “Coop” Ford had model cars and airplanes - Grandpa Ashford brought them. Telephone Russ Morrow and ask him if he remembers Donnie (Wick) Piper’s project. Byron Hill hob-knobbed around with Bill Meng and Willie (Jim) Rives. Bill had a “garden sass” (that’s the way it was listed) and photos of birds on nests.

Byron constructed a door from his grandpa Geo. Hill’s Lumber Yard.

Probably 80 percent of Greenfield citizens gathered in the grandstand to hear our band play. As Mr. H.R. and Mrs. Girhardt came up the steps we stood up, cheered and sang Loyalty.

After races and music most of us rode the swings, tilt-a-whirl, ferris wheel and merry-go-round.

On the south end of the grandstand was Daisy Wood’s booth.

That’s where my dad paid to park our Buick. She had a electric oven and baked her pies and home made bread, home churned butter, hickory smoked ham, iced tea and coffee in her glasses and cups. We ate like this at home, but a real treat to have someone cook for us.

There were the usual balloons, water taffy, fresh divinity and fudge stands. The candy dad bought before we went home.

At school next day, we thought we’d squirt water from the artificial rose on Miss Bermes and Miss Barnett. They each had a rose and drenched us before we could bat our eyes.

Nov. 8, 1935 - Carrollton Hero the first GCH Homecoming game.

Hubert Cole (d) of Greenfield tied up the game. The final score 6-6. Coach Hubbell presented G.W. Good, Captain of the GCHS Football team of 1935: Tom Weisner, Hubert Cole, Floyd Tate, Fred Ford, Louis Meng, Robert Parks, Adrian “Jack” Short, John Davenport, William Jones, Loren Haven, John Scott, Ferris Ford, Kermit Fansler, Vincent Kirbach, Floyd Meng, Bill Meeks, Dean Nash, Charles Barton, Raymond Mears, Lindell Scott, Harry N. Green, Earlom Cole and Darrell Nash.

Oct. 3, 1930 - Greenfield won its first night game defeating White Hall 19-12. Raymond Raner presented Jim Parks as Captain of the team - Kenneth Gilleland, Clarence Mears, Glenn Lorton, William Dale Hammon, Giller Strang, Clarence Nelson, Earl Journey, William Chinowith, Charles Knisley, Orville Griswold, Julian Entrekin, Marshall Waters, Edgar Knisley, Leonard Young, Maurice Nix, Robert Smith, Leo Faulkner, Donald Royal, Ralph Metcalf, Gordon Archer, Harold Witt, John Metcalf, Elmer Love, Kenneth Cole, Gary Melvin, Norbert Fansler, Charles Stickel, George Wheeler, Clarence Tuey, Elmer Knisley, Denzil Probst and Ben Harrison. Greenfield claimed the IVC 6-1-0; Roodhouse 5-1-0; Pleasant Hill 5-1-0; White Hall 2-3-1; Pittsfield 1-4-0; Carrollton 1-5-0; Winchester 1-6-0. These stats came from page 88 of “The Tiger Tradition” Greenfield High School 1899-1992 by my friend Rodger Wayne Rives - Robert “Bob” Rives’ brother.

Shirley was recuperating from summer influenza and didn’t come to see me, but insisted that Clifton D. come and tend to my yard. While he was working I telephoned Meehan’s Deli for fried chicken, pork chops

etc. for our lunch and enough for Clifton D to take home. I fixed a ‘care package’ with lavender lingerie, a white hand towel, washcloth and container of chocolate. Today when Clifton D. called he remarked, “you left a receipt in the bag from Smiley Garner.” I had used a white bag with handles that I had used for clothing for Smiley to alter. They enjoyed the way we conducted business.

Hannah Fields of Palmyra and Deidre Fields of Jerseyville spent a day or two with Aunt Beth Fields and Grandma Debbie Fields; both little girls have returned home to attend their respective schools in Palmyra and Jerseyville.

Some dry humor; A man in the state of New York took a spade and dug down into the earth ten feet.

He found a big cable full of copper telephone wire. The attached metal label was dated 1913 - 100 years ago. Not to be outdone, a California man dug down into California dirt 200 feet and discovered a cable of copper telephone wire. The metal attached label read 1813 - 200 years ago. Down in Texas, a cowboy dug downward 300 feet, finding nothing but dirt he yelled, “yippee! Texas had wireless phones 300 years ago!”

Sgt. Immer visits Grafton Elementary pen pals Sgt. Jeffrey Immer, father of Grafton Elementary 4th grader, Eli Immer, has recently returned from a year-long deployment in Kuwait. While his dad was deployed, Eli and his classmates (then Melissa Medford’s 3rd graders) wrote letters and sent pictures to Sgt. Immer. Last week Sgt. Immer came to Grafton Elementary to visit with his pen pals (now in Rick Eberlin’s class). He talked about his job in the Army and the country of Kuwait, and he led the students in a team building exercise. Eberlin and Medford are grateful to Sgt. Immer for his service to our country, and for taking the time to share his experience with the students.

Giant pear grown by Berdan man It might not be the prettiest pear on the planet, but it has got to be one of the largest. Don Buchanan of rural Berdan, an avid gardener who has many varieties of trees on his land, harvested this Honeycrisp pear last week after only the second year of producing for the tree. The monster measured 5 inches in diameter and weighed 2 1/4 pounds. Despite the odd shape, Buchanan said the variety is one of the sweetest and juciest he has ever produced.

Medals were presented to the top male and female finishers (Watson and Cole); and, to the first- and second-place finishers in each age category. Everyone received a technical running shirt commemorating their participation.

Carrollton Lions Club presented the Hometown Pride Award to the Sherrie Heaton Family. The Heaton family purchased the dilapidated two story home located at 125 N. 6th Street and virtually redid the entire home. Built in 1904, the home had been vacant for over 12 years. Holes in the roof had caused water damage throughout the house. Sherrie Heaton said when she originally purchased the property she intended to make it into apartments but once the remodel began she realized she could not destroy the character and charm of the turn of the century home.. "We tried to modernize it and yet keep some of the old characteristics of these old homes," Sherrie Heaton said.. The totally modern kitchen is offset by the original Timberline wood burning stove along with the original wood burning fireplace and mantle. Pocket doors were. They also kept the pocket doors which were indicative of this era. They were taken down and redone along with the original front door. The staircase was also preserved. Everything else in the home is new including plumbing, heating, roof,siding, electric, etc. An additional bathroom was also added upstairs.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is taking an important step toward improving Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) access by announcing that the new OHV Usage Stamp will be available in early 2014 at DNR Direct license and permit point-of-sale vendor locations throughout the state.

The annual stamps are part of the IDNR sustainability funding package passed last year and will be sold beginning in January. The stamps will be valid from April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015. The stamps will be issued concurrent with fishing and hunting licenses beginning in the 2014-15 season.

Funds generated through the OHV Usage Stamp are expected to total between $700,000-$800,000 annually. Those funds will be used to develop public-access trails for OHV use in Illinois, and to capture more than $1 million in unutilized federal funds available for motorized trail development and maintenance through available matching dollars. Because Illinois has not been able to match these federal funds with state dollars, IDNR has been unable to provide single-purpose OHV recreation trails.

Illinois law now requires that an annual OHV Usage Stamp be purchased and displayed prominently on the forward half of off-highway vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-highway motorcycles, and other motor-driven recreational vehicles capable of crosscountry travel on natural terrain.

The annual OHV Usage Stamp fee will be $15, plus a $0.50 issuance fee to the point-of-sale vendor.

The DNR plans to provide discount fees for lower-powered OHVs for youth riders. The DNR also intends to add several other exemptions to the OHV Usage Stamp, including all standard golf carts, OHVs used by bona fide commercial businesses and OHVs used by qualifying hunters with disabilities.

The expiration date on the annual OHV Usage Stamp will be March 31 each year.

Exemptions to the OHV Usage Stamp requirement include: OHVs operated on lands where the owner permanently resides (exemption does not apply to clubs, associations, OHVs operated on lands leased for hunting or recreational purposes, or OHVs used by outfitters); OHVs used for activities associated with farming or livestock production; OHVs owned and used by units of government; OHVs used for sanctioned national/international competition; and, OHVs used on OHV-grant assisted sites on which an Off-Highway Vehicle Access Decal is displayed.

For a list of DNR Direct POS vendor locations where OHV Usage Stamps will be sold, check the DNR website at dnr.illinois.gov/LPR/ Pages/LicensePermitVendors.aspx

Carrollton, Illinois

Greene County Tigers clinch, Spartans close to playoffs scores, results HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

GREENFIELD-NORTHWESTERN 46 | ROUTT 6

The Greenfield-Northwestern football team became the second Greene County squad to clinch a postseason berth after the Tigers used a dominant first quarter to win a 46-6 decision against Routt Friday at Greenfield High School.

Greenfield-NW (6-2) led 32-0 after just more than nine minutes thanks to rushing touchdowns by Dakota Coffey and David Gibbs, a touchdown pass from Isaac Masters to Riley Marsh, a 42-yard

interception return by Coffey and a Tigers safety.

Masters threw two more touchdowns, including a 65-yarder to Marsh in the third quarter, to finish with 84 yards through the air and the Tigers tallied 219 on the ground. Coffey led the rushing attack with 122 yards.

Guaranteed a Week 10 playoff game, Greenfield-NW caps its regular season with a matchup against Triopia (2-6) at 7 p.m. Friday in Concord.

SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press Chas Lewis scored three touchdowns — including two on 47- and 90-yard punt returns — to lead the North Greene High School football team to a 49-0 win against the Illinois School for the Deaf Friday in Jacksonville.

"Chas is very elusive in space," Spartans head coach Tony Rhoades said. "We've got a lot of speed guys and if we get them in space, good things are going to happen. He's been a real good weapon on special teams, we use him out of the passing game a lot and he's second on the team in carries, too."

Kolten Heberling led the North Greene rushing attack with 60 yards and one touchdown on six carries against ISD. After back-to-back wins, the Spartans are 4-4 entering Week 9.

So is Mendon Unity after a 14-12 win against Pleasant Hill in Week 8 — meaning the winner when the Spartans and Mustangs meet at 7 p.m. Friday in White Hall will be eligible for the postseason.

North Greene hasn't been to the playoffs since three-straight trips from 2003 to

2005. In five of the seven seasons since then, the Spartans have won fewer than three games.

When Rhoades took over the program in 2011, the biggest challenge he faced was convincing the team it could reach this point — with a chance to reach the postseason.

"We were coming off four-straight seasons of winning either one or two games. The toughest obstacle was getting them to believe," Rhoades said. "We had that big win against Brown County last year and they realized then that we can get this done. Now this year it’s just about taking it that one step further. I think the kids are really looking forward to that opportunity Friday."

A win against Mendon Unity in the regular season finale Friday would also give North Greene its first three-game winning streak since 2004.

"If we get this win, we’re going to be heading into the playoffs on a three-game winning streak and playing some of our best football," Rhoades said. "That’s what we’re aiming for." selliott@campbellpublications.net

Carrollton Grade School's Charles Helton IV became the first CGS runner in school history to medal at the IESA state championship race when he placed 16th in 11 minutes, 16 seconds, Saturday at Maxwell Park in Normal.

In his fourth-straight trip to the state championship race, it was Helton's best finish and first earning all-state honors. Less than 4 seconds seperated 10th place from 17th in the 207-runner field. Helton was in 35th through the first quarter-mile sprint of the two-mile race. His top-16 finish was 56 places better than his previous best effort last season at the state championship race.
