Roodhouse City Council convened in special session Monday night, Sept. 30 and approved the purchase of two police cars and a flatbed truck for the South Shop. The police department is down to only one functioning police car in addition to the chief of police’s K-9 unit. The newest vehicle in the fleet, a 2009 Dodge Charger, was totaled recently when it was rearended while working an accident. The 2006 Ford Crown Victoria is in need of more than $5,000 in repairs after having spent almost $5,000 last year on repairs to the same car. “The urgency of the meeting was to try to get at least one of the cars approved by the council so he can get the wrecked Charger replaced by the end of next week,” Alderman Charles Huffines said. “Morrow Bros. of Greenfield is getting a shipment of

90 cars they are going to fit for police cars and if we act this week we could get the Charger replaced and ready for us to drive by Oct. 12.” Huffines said the bulk of these cars will be going to the Illinois State Police so the price is a state negotiated price that would be hard to beat anywhere else. “Replacing the Crown Vic is on here because it doesn’t seem like a good idea to put out over $10,000 in less than two years on a car with over 130,000 miles on it, and heaven only knows how much run time,” Huffines said. “We thought we would put it on here and let you discuss and vote on it. Not knowing what the finances are going to be and then realizing we were probably going to have to carry a note on these I added to the agenda the flatbed for the South Shop to see if we rolled a bigger amount in there then we could probably get a better interest rate at the local banks and it seems like that has been the case.”

a gear shift for it and it is just really unsafe to drive. Plus it is the most used truck in our fleet, and gets out just about every day.” Morrow Bros. has a 2012 F-350 untitled truck with zero miles on it for $32,825. “I looked at the truck and it’s a nice truck and comes complete with lights and everything we need – we just need to drive it off the lot,” Ross said. “It has four wheel drive and a heavier gauge bed and hoist so we will be able to lift more with it.” Alderwoman Barb Alred asked if the council was expected to approve the purchases or could it be taken to the workshop. “We are on a time limit,” Ross said. “Their bid is good for so long and it is getting down to the wire. I started this process two months ago.” Police Chief Kyle Robison echoed what Ross said. “He is not going to hold that vehicle for you – they want it done

“The urgency of the meeting was to try to get at least one of the cars approved by the council so he can get the wrecked Charger replaced by the end of next week.”

Utility Superintendent Terry Ross said the need for a new flatbed truck for his department is equally as dire. “Three weeks after I go here, the transmission went out on our truck and overall it is just in horrible shape,” Ross said. “There are holes in the floor board, we had to make

Carrollton City Council met for its monthly workshop on Oct. 25 and basically solidified its stand on the chicken issue in Carrollton. Most of the discussion was held prior to the 7 p.m. meeting at a discussion between members of the chicken ordinance committee and the rest of the council. The city has an ordinance prohibiting the keeping of chickens or rabbits within the city limits. However, more than a dozen households in Carrollton house either chickens or rabbits, including one of the city’s police officers. Mayor David Stendeback announced at the opening of the meeting what the council had come up with and which will be voted on at the Oct. 16 regular meeting. “Considering we had some people that were told inadvertently they could have chickens, we are going to allow some chickens, but we are going to follow the ordinance on everything else,” Stendeback announced. “They (chickens) can be for personal use only, and chicken owners will be notified they have 30 days to fill out a form if they want to keep their chickens.” Specifically, residents will

be allowed to keep up to five hens - no roosters - and they must not be used for commercial purposes, such as the selling of eggs or meat. No concessions will be made for rabbits, however. “We will have no rabbits which follows our normal ordinance as presented before,” Stendeback said. Kenny Isringhausen, who owns a considerable number of rabbits, was not happy with the decision. “I will challenge this if you push me,” Isringhausen said. City Attorney Anne Clough said that was his right. “You can do that,” Clough said. “But we have an ordinance in place and the ordinance says you can’t have rabbits.” Isringhausen questioned the validity of the ordinance itself. “A lot of these ordinances are not drawn up correctly,” he said. “You take them to a court of law and you can beat them. No one had a problem with the chickens or rabbits before.” Alderman Joe Harness disagreed. “I’ve had several people complain to me,” he said. Isringhausen didn’t agree. “I’ve talked to all my neighbors and none of them have a problem with it,” he

said. Also on the agenda was the purchase of a new computer for the city clerk. “The one I am using now is out-of-date and freezes up all the time,” City Clerk Ryan Scott said. “It wasn’t new when it was put in for the clerk to use and it needs to be replaced.” Scott presented the council with the computer he would like them to purchase at a cost of around $400 noting his office brings in revenue for the city. “My office brings in $12,500 a year so I think a $400 computer is a reasonable request,” he said. The issue will be on the agenda to be voted on at the Oct. 16 meeting. City Treasurer Debbie Dunlap has requested the council consider the purchase of new and different accounting software which she says would produce reports which would be easier for the council to understand and eliminate the need to export to an Excel worksheet. “It would be my recommendation to eliminate exporting to Excel, the reason being I don’t think it is the most financially sound way of doing business,” Dunlap said. “You have the ability to manipulate numbers when you export to Excel and you (See, CHICKENS, A2)

That's

by Oct. 1 – he told me that,” Robison said. “It’s the same way with the police cars – he’s not going to hold them for two weeks while the council discusses it further. My thought was if you buy them all at once under one note, you don’t have all the extra paperwork.” The two police cars Robison wants to purchase are $35,799 each, which includes all the equipment, lighting, cage setup, installation and camera for a total of $71,598. The city received $21,000 for the wrecked charger which brings the total down to $50,598. The addition of the flatbed truck would be an additional $32,825 for a total of $83,423. UCB Bank of White Hall quoted an interest rate of 2.15 percent for 48 months which comes to a monthly payment of around $1,851.33.

ecstatic to have gotten the good news. “I’m sure my neighbors thought I was being mugged because I just started screaming because I was so excited,” she said. However, the waiting is still not over for Keller. Her name will remain in the contestant pool for the next 18 months. “I have no idea when I will be selected or where I will have to go to tape the show,” Keller said. “They said they will notify me two weeks before the taping of the show letting me know where it will be and if I can get there to be on the show.” Keller said the show does tapings four days out of the month and five or six shows are shot each day at various locations. Keller must be able to pay for her own transportation, food and lodging to appear on the show. “I guess I’m going to have to

start having some fundraisers to ‘Send Susie to the Wheel,’” Keller said jokingly. Her trip, no matter how far she gets, will not be in vain. “The least amount I can win now that I’ve been chosen as a contestant is $1,000,” Keller said. “Of course, I would love to win a lot more, but it’s all gravy now. The hardest part of all was waiting to receive this letter because if I didn’t hear anything then it was just all for nothing.” Ironically, Keller never was a huge devotee of the show before the chance to audition as a contestant came up. “When I was growing up my parents watched it all the time, so I remember growing up around it, but as far as being a big fan – I wouldn’t say I would go home specifically just to watch ‘Wheel of Fortune,’” Keller said. “If I’m at home and cooking dinner (See, WHEEL, A2)

Greenfield High School to compete for $100,000 grant By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

Susie Keller’s head isn’t the only thing spinning after the news she received last Thursday. Keller, of Carrollton, received confirmation she had been chosen to be a contestant on the nationally syndicated game show “Wheel of Fortune.” Keller’s future trip to the “Wheel” began back in June when she went to River City Casino where KSDK Channel 5 had the Wheelmobile scouting for prospective contestants. “There really wasn’t any kind of rhyme or reason on how you got picked,” Keller said. “They put your contact information in a big drum and drew out five names at a time and you played a speed round of the game and that was basically your audition. They see how you behave, how you react,

etc.” Keller was told she would receive an email in two months if they wanted her to move onto further auditions. “I received the email which said they had reserved me a time to audition on Sept. 10 at Lumiere Casino for my second and third auditions,” she said. “We started out with around 60 people and they dwindled it down to 20 and I was lucky enough to make it past the second round.” The third audition took place the same day and consisted of Keller having to simulate playing the game. “You have to pretend you are spinning and they want to see if you are energetic, etc.,” Keller said. “They then told me in two weeks if I were chosen I would receive a letter from them, but if I wasn’t there would be no letter.” It took a little longer than two weeks, but Keller was

Greenfield High School will be participating in the State Farm Celebrate My Drive program which could net the school a cool $100,000. This program is coming to Greenfield on Friday evening, Oct. 4, in the form of a tailgate party prior to the Tiger’s football game against West Central. “We are going to have the

Illinois State Police here with their rollover simulator at the north end of the field,” FCCLA sponsor LuAnn Hubbard said. “They will be asking the kids about traffic safety and one of the participants will walk away with a new laptop.” Hubbard signed Greenfield up to participate in the program at the FCCLA State Conference this past April and learned at the beginning of the school year Greenfield was chosen to participate in the

program. “This is being sponsored by grants made possible by State Farm Insurance,” Hubbard said. “When they contacted us, they said we could use the $500 grant for either a speaker or a tailgate party, and ,of course, we chose the party.” The FCCLA has a long history with safe driving. “One of our national programs is Families Acting For Community Traffic Safety,” Hubbard said. “It’s a national

peer to peer student run education program where kids teach other kids.” Because of its deep commitment to promoting safe driving, State Farm is a large backer of the FCCLA program throughout the state. “They contribute thousands of dollars in Illinois each year toward our State Conference,” Hubbard said. “You have to have an FCCLA chapter in your school to even be in this.” The tailgate party is a kickC

off to the real competition which begins on Oct. 18 and runs through Oct. 26 in conjunction with National Teen Safe Driving Week. Students and their families and friends will be asked to go online to the Celebrate My Drive website and vote for Greenfield School. The top 10 schools across the nation who garner the most votes will win a $100,000 grant for their school. Ninety schools will win grants in the

amount of $25,000 and the top two schools will win a concert with Kelly Clarkson. Greenfield is pulling out all the stops to be among the top 10 to win the $100,000. “We are making trifold flyers we will be passing out and will be having our own Teen Safe Driving Week here at the school,” Hubbard said. “I have a speaker coming to the school on the 18th to do another assembly with us, and (See, GREENFIELD, A2)

Carrollton Hawk Cheerleaders have devised a unique way to raise money selling Hawk Slides. The cost is $20 a pair and they can be viewed at CNB Bank and Trust or at the Spirit Shack at the football field. Money raised will help pay for transportation to and from away games along with all of the other things the cheerleaders do such as decorate for Homecoming.

Fundraising – this time the shoe’s on the other foot By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with unique fundraising ideas with so many groups out there trying to raise money for their cause, but the Carrollton Hawk Cheerleaders have come up with an idea that has a lot of “sole” in it. The girls are selling sandal type shoes called slides which have become all the rage these days. “While we were selecting the uniforms for this year, the girls saw these sliders in a cheer magazine,” cheerleading sponsor Patti Nord said. “We realized this could be a good fundraiser that we don’t believe has ever been done before. The slides are practical and are worn by a lot of athletes in our district, so we thought we would give it a try. Cheerleading is a self-funded sport meaning the school district does not provide funding. Therefore, they have to earn money for everything from their uniforms to riding the bus to away games. “They also provide all of the homecoming decorations, locker decorations and are in charge of decorating the town for homecoming

and playoffs,” Nord said. “So they need to raise more money to be able to pay for all of these things.” Nord said while they don’t have any definite numbers yet, it looks like the girls will have to raise around $500 just for their transportation to the football and basketball games. “It really depends on what the charge is to the football and basketball teams,” Nord said. “The cheerleaders pay half of the bus cost because they take up about half of the bus.” The shoes sell for $20 a pair and come in sizes ranging from XS which is comparable to a women’s size 5/6, or a men’s size 4/5 to XL which is comparable to a women’s size 13/14 or men’s size 12/13. The first order went in Oct. 1 and another one is scheduled in November . “We ordered 25 extra pairs so we are hoping to be able to sell them at the Moon Over Carrollton event on Oct. 19 up town,” Nord said. “The next order will go in Nov. 1 so we can place an order to be delivered before Christmas.” The shoes may be viewed at CNB Bank and Trust in Carrollton or at the Spirit Shack at the football games.

The council was unanimous in their vote to purchase the flatbed truck for the South Shop and the police vehicle to replace the wrecked Charger, but it was split on the second police car with both Garrett Rogers and Ralph Phillips voting “No” on the motion for its

purchase. Martin instructed Ross to get a list of the items which the city is no longer using which can be sold to go toward the purchase of the vehicles. He did the same with Robison and also told him to pursue a grant which could pay for a portion of the squad cars. “I realize things have been let go and I think in the few months we have been here we have done a good job getting things in order,” Martin said. “But there comes a time when we have to put the brakes on and I say that time is getting close. I realize the equipment has to be safe and I realize also that it has to be paid for. So we do need to follow through with all these things and that money needs to be applied to this note.”

The first words out of Dusty’s mouth when he came home from work were, “Where’s my supper?” All he had to do was smell. Chicken and dressing in the oven. Hot light bread and butter on the counter. Table set. Mel (my sister) was here. Right now I wish a Happy Birthday #85 to our cousin Will Jennings, the son of Clifton Hammon’s Great Uncle Homer and Great Aunt Nancy Jennings. Will had called Mel in Colorado - I called Mel in Colorado - she was “a sleepin’”. Claire, a friend from Ellicott, Colo. was Mel’s nurse for the day and Claire told me! Back to my original tale - Sybil and Guy Clark (Rockbridge) had an older brother who was lying in state at a funeral home in Virden. Mel, Clifton D. and I were ready to make the trip for the visitation. Dusty took his bath dressed up and ate - we had warmed up the car and had a shovel in the trunk; the snow was cleared, but you never know. Mr. Gary Clark met us and carried Clifton D. (3-years-old) to a rumpus room with children and things with which to play. Mr. Guy and Dusty visited. Mel and I knew family and Rockbridge people - the Faiths; McGuires; Kirbys; Burgers; Ethels; Samples; Longmeyers; Anne Hickman; Nettles; Pitchfords; Frys; Mae Manus; Huffs; Reid and Minta Tendick; Rathgebers; Howard and Kathleen Powell and daughters. This a.m. Corey McCarn called his Gram Barbara Kahl. He had been inducted into a National Honor Society in Mississippi. Recently Bob Cole took his mother Mable Batty Cole down into Missouri to visit his daughter and granddaughters. Mable’s granddaughter and two great-granddaughters. Mable had her handmade baby quilts, a color book for the older girl who counted and stuck 89 play stamps. Sometime ago Clifton Hammon who is employed in Springfield told me that a gentleman at work said, “Did you know Howard Phillips and his wife a long time ago?” Sure thing. Mrs. Laura Phillips was my fifth grade teacher at Greenfield Grade School and Mr. Howard Phillips was my junior high instructor at the old Grade School building (where the town clock was located, Clifton D. replied. The worker said that the Phillips had moved from rural Greenfield into town. They are residing in the former home of the late George Perry and Vanetta Entrekin - corner of Prairie Street and Sycamore Street; Bob and Alene Garner live across the street. When Garners were my neighbors Smiles was “Nanny” of Phillip’s children - ironic, isn’t it? The centerpiece on my table is a ceramic pumpkin. On one side is the face of Jack-O-Lantern. For Thanksgiving we turn to the plain side. Wind it up to hear “Phantom Of The Opera”. My sister Melba bought

this at Tuesday Morning (a shop in Pueblo. Colo. when we were on a browsing trip. Last time when Clifton D. and Shirley came from Sherman they brought their big John Deere riding mower and mowed “my hay”. As usual they went to Meehan’s Deli for our delicious meal - my treat. This gives Debbie some free time. Clifton D. laughed with joy and said, “I saw the big sign “It’s a girl”. Joe and Heather Meehan Garner’s baby. Clifton D.’s friendship goes way back to Bob, Ailene “Smiles” Garner (the great-grandparents) Jim (he calls Jesse) and Pat Garner grandparents, great gram Gar (d) great aunts Robin and Gayla. I don’t believe he knows daddy Joe, Mama Heather, grandpa and Grandma Jared and Val Garner and aunts Adriene and Josie Garner. We know Grandpa Mike Meehan the maternal grandpa. I don’t believe I’ve met Grandmother Meehan. As Great Uncle Harry and Clifton D. spent free time together. After eating Clifton D. and Shirley went exploring in my attic. He was tickled to find Operation (a battery operated childhood game). I sent a cone shaped grinder to my grandson Jer Crumly who was going to make jam. I don’t eat sweets, so it’s his to keep. My dollhouses - the first was in the corner of the living. My doll bed was beside mother’s beautiful floor lamp. Mother would bring my tea set with tea and some fruit, as I didn’t care for cookies. Our two-story home north of Greenfield was so large that the three rooms upstairs were not furnished. Mother hung lace curtains after daddy hung shades. My sister Mel and I had a good time playing house. Our brother had built a table, chairs and cabinet in Manual Training (GCHS) for us. We had a wonderful time when school was not in session. We could see Grandma Effie hanging up clothes, feeding the chickens and Grandpa Jesse Story feeding the cows. Their son Dick Story was in GCHS - he is Joe, Jim and Suzi’s father. We could also see Clara Parks (Chat’s wife) polishing her car - she was getting ready to drive Effie to Greenfield. The Parks lady who petted my sister and me was Aunt Florence - she said that we made her think of her daughter Celeste who had employment in California. There were no little girls in the community. Once in a while our cousins Eugene and Marcella Jennings would come for a day. We dressed up in old high heels, big hats - slid up and down the banister, looked out the stained glass window above the double front door. We didn’t spend any time pretending to cook. At meal time we ate at the table (picnic food) fried chicken, potato salad and drank either lemonade or iced tea. ‘Til next time!

Greenfield First Baptist Church news

Sept. 29. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements. Weiner roast this evening at 5 p.m. with a hayride too. Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. Business meeting. Birthday Janet Dossett. Sunday school report by Sis. Mary. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis Donna at the piano led the congregation in singing of hymns. ‘Message by Bro. Baxter Romans 5: 12-21 Sin entered into the world by one man, Adam. The serpent beguiled Eve to partake of the tree of good and evil and gave to her husband to eat also. Their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked. They hid themselves from God. God knew they had eaten of the tree so he put them out of the garden after he clothed them. From then on sin was in the world. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Rome was the center of the universe and it was full of sin. Sin is everywhere. God’s one and only son Jesus lived on this earth and was tempted as

you and I are tempted, but he didn’t sin. Jesus was the only man on earth who didn’t sin. God created us in his image. As sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord, who died on the cross for our sins, if we accept him as our Saviour. Sunday evening: The wiener roast was well attended and the hayride was great. A great group of children went on the hayride accompanied by adults. Thanks to the Mason family for a great hayride. Thanks to everyone who brought food for the wiener roast. A great time was had by all who attended.

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 217-2480901. 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 gave a message from Matthew 24:3-14 depicting signs of the times and the end of the age. The disciples ask Jesus when will the end of the age be and the very first thing He says is: “Take Heed that no one deceives you.” It’s important that we all prepare our hearts by studying the Lord’s Word. Be familiar with it and stay close to Him through it. Don’t allow the enemy to creep into your life and pull you away with deceit and lies. We understand that the end is not yet and thankfully so, because there are still many souls to win for The Kingdom. We still have time to reach the unsaved! Take this knowledge as an opportunity to reach those who don’t yet know Christ. Take advantage of the times now because, like Jesus said, the world hates us and will lash out against us in tribulation and kill Christ’s believers. This is already happening in countries around the world. We are fortunate enough that, on a personal level, we only have to endure ridicule and snide comments. Although, it does seem as though our government is really trying to push Jesus out entirely. We have to cling tightly to His Word and His example. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” He is making it clear that His followers will suffer. It’s not easy to be a Christian. Saints are persecuted, but there is a Great Reward for those who stand with Him for the long haul. This week Brother David gave a message from Matthew 24:15-28. In

the end times when a political leader comes to power in the Holy land and claims to be God, it is time to flee from that place. The world will be filled with deceit. Evil people, claiming to be the returning Christ, will try to trick the world. Jesus tells us that when He returns, it will be fast as lightning, so don’t even entertain those saying they have seen Him. He won’t be sticking around. He will be gone just as fast as He comes. He is telling us to know the prophesy. Be looking for these signs and HEED His warnings. If we take a look at the activities in our world today, it does seem as though prophetic events are beginning to unfold. It’s time to prepare our hearts. Spread the gospel. It’s so important because as soon as The Son Of Man returns for The Church, those left behind, will have no guidance. They will be pressured to accept the mark of the beast. Nobody will be able to buy or sell anything without the mark on their hand or forehead. If they accept the mark, they’ll be cursed to hell. If they refuse the mark, they will be killed. If you’re killed for Christ, you’ll go to heaven. These end times will be scary, lets make sure we all go out with Jesus when He returns. Julie George led praise and worship with “More Precious Than Silver.” We celebrated Travis Hamm and Don Robertson’s birthdays. Wednesday will be our business meeting. Davis Weiner Roast will be October 12th at 6:00 pm. Bring lawn chairs, hot dogs and buns. Everything else will be provided. 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! Please pray for these: Tom Vickroy and Ida Chapman-Vickroy, Ed Kuhnline, Jenn Withers, Joanne Ford, Barb Kahl, Ralph Hensan, Kelly Moore, Destiny, Cindy Meyer, Embry Family, our unspoken requests, our country, military families, nursing home residents, shut-ins, our pastor and his family.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor A little shower but then a beautiful day with just right temperatures. The Katydids made a short mistake - no frost yet, but cooler temps and we will have a frost around Oct. 15. May no be a killing frost, but it will come. So much for natures weather which God controls. Praise God. A small but good group at church. The bear hunters came home safe, thank God, but bear free. No luck, but they did bring back meat. Our prayer list is Betty Ford (she is in need of all our prayers now), Gerald Day, Randall family, Delores Ford, Darrell Ford is much better, praise God, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, John Hardwick, Brenda Cornet, Andy Ross, Angie Myers. The Halloween party is scheduled for Oct. 27. More details later. The ones who were not at church are always missed. God is the one most disappointed. We had a visitor in the community on Saturday. An old timer from Walkerville returned after 62 years.

Audry Beaueith (maiden name) and her daughter Brittany visited the cemetery and the church and was amazed at the changes since she was last home. She now lives in Racine, Wisc. Welcome back, Audry. It was good having you and your daughter. Living here we don’t realize the changes that are made. We see all the changes that need to be made and I guess that is good to keep on improving. Life does go on. If you don’t believe in miracles, perhaps you have forgotten that you are one. Everyone smiles in the same language. No prayer is too small for the Lord to handle. It may not be tonight or tomorrow or the next day, but everything is going to be OK. Jesus said, “if you can believe, all things are possible to he who believes.” Mark 9: 23. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5: 16. Come to Walkerville and let your light shine bright. We love you and so does Jesus. See you Sunday in church.

Reading”, 2 Timothy 3:10-17. Timothy is Paul’s protégé. He is the one who is going to carry on the faith. What we learn about the Bible becomes important for us because of who we learned it from. 1. There will be persecution. If we are committed to reading our Bibles, we can expect that it will be hard. For those who are students of scripture, those who do what it says, you can expect the world to be hostile towards you. Bible is an illegal book in 51 countries. Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. 2. Things are not getting better, but worse. Second law of thermodynamics, everything tends towards chaos. How do we find peace in the midst of overwhelming suffering and questions this world can bring? Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” 3. But you, Timothy, continue to learn. Be a disciple (lifelong learner). Psalm 119:11,“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 4. Study scripture from the time of infancy. It’s never too early to start. Jeremiah 1:5,“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” If God knows you, don’t you think He wants to be known back? The Bible is more than just a book. It is God’s Love Letter to us, meant to be put into practice. 5. Scripture is able to make you wise. Through the salvation

Eldred Baptist Church news Reported by Mary Eustace Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 A warm welcome from our church family to all of you and we would like to invite you to our Sunday Services. Our service today Sept. 29 , included music from our choir and special message from our guest speaker, Evan Marbury, Lieutenant in the US Army Reserves from St. Louis, MO. Lt Marbury is currently serving as a Chaplin Candidate in the St. Peters Reserve Unit. He is also a student at the Covenant Theological Seminary. He brought along his lovely wife Katrina. Lt. Marbury spoke on the message of Luke 9: 57-61. Jesus is our foundation. Are you ready to serve and is your foundation as strong as it should be? What does it cost to be a Christian – You have to be ready to give up everything at His call. Can you? It was a wonderful church service. We are blessed in many ways. We have a “Children’s Church” services for our youth. We serve supper and a meeting on Wednesday evening a 6 pm for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. Be Jesus to everyone you meet sincerely and His love will shine through you.

offered through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9-10, “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” The Scriptures are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 6. All scripture has God’s breath. What does that mean? What is God’s breath? It is the voice of God. Genesis 2:7, “the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” And Jesus embodies God’s breath in action. John 1:1-4, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” Greek word is “logos” and it means “reason or rational thought”. 7. And all scripture shows us how to live a godly life. Scripture shows us how to encourage others and help others along the journey together. By teaching - John 4:1-2, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every

spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God”; by rebuking – Hebrews 12:5-6, ““My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son”; by correcting – 2 Timothy 2:15, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth;” by training in righteousness - Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” 8. So that we as Christians may be fully equipped, not lacking anything. Wouldn’t you like to know that with all the questions in life, we can go to the one who is responsible for everything? That the promises are true and real? The Word is alive and active to believers. It is where our soul finds the nourishment that it needs in the Lord. James 1:21-22, “Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” You can experience God through the living, breathing power of His Word. Live a life with Scripture as your guide and you will be equipped for anything this world can throw at you. Get ready to be an example and live by high moral values that please God.

“A hot-tempered person stirs up conﬂict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.” Proverbs 15: 18

My brothers and I were recently engaged in a conversation about our childhood in which we all felt compelled to apologize for our youthful teasing and taunting of each other. What was interesting to me was that we all felt that in one way or another the teasing and striving with each other had made us more prepared to deal with life. One brother even expressed the worry that “we are so over-sensitized to emotionally abusive people these days that we are cultivating a whole generation of young people who are unable to handle any kind of threats to their fragile egos. When they are bullied they react in ways that are hugely disproportionate to the situation, i.e. suicides, mass shootings, etc.” Perhaps the teasing banter and rough and tumble play of childhood is preparation for life in a world that isn’t always sensitive to the fragile vagaries of our ego. It would be nice, albeit boring, if we lived in a world where everyone was always kind and deferential but until that ideal world arrives, perhaps we should let kids engage in the rough and tumble world of childhood in a way that will prepare them for the real world. Resolving conﬂict is an important skill that is best learned early in life.

Historic Fry barn relocated to Day residence By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The historic Fry octagon barn stood proudly in the same spot across from Fry Park in Carrollton for more than 130 years – long before the park was even there. There is emptiness there now as the area is being prepared for the construction of 22 new affordable homes to be called Walnut Estates. Thanks to Jim and Dotty Day the barn was spared and given a new home on their land not far from where it was built more than a century ago. The barn was moved across the cornfield on Sept. 18 and placed on an octagon shaped concrete slab prepared for it at the Day residence. Mike Niehaus of Windsor Development Group, which bought the barn and the land to construct the affordable homes, had originally planned to move the barn to the Eldred House near Eldred. This proposed move proved to be unfeasible due to the distance and the number of power lines involved. The barn was then offered to the city of Carrollton but they too declined. Time was running out to relocate the barn when the Days were contacted by Niehaus with an offer to move the barn to the Day’s property, less than a half mile from its original location and just across a cornfield. “We had always enjoyed seeing the barn from our home,” Day said. “I had mentioned to the Schnelts several years back that if they ever decided to get rid of the barn to let me know before they did because I would hate to see it torn down.” Day can recall the moment they were offered the barn. “I told my husband we had been offered a ‘free’ barn and wise man that he is, he said, ‘honey, there is no such thing as a free barn.’” While the developer paid to have the barn moved, the Days agreed to provide the foundation and floor for the barn and make repairs to the barn once it was moved. The barn has a rich history dating back to the early 1880s when it was built by Captain William Fry on his 80-acre farm. The barn once boasted the Joe Minch inspired porthole and arched windows and a 10 foot cupola. A photo of the barn dated 1884 shows it in all its glory. Originally, the barn had double doors on the north and south sides, wooden floors and a curved staircase to the second floor. Most of this was removed in the 1948 remodel by the Goeddey family. The barn was originally used as a dairy barn. Horse stalls were on one side and cows on the other side of a center hall. The barn was equipped with three graineries for oats, corn and cattle feed. There is an open loft for hay with chutes which were used to drop hay down from the loft to the stalls below.” Illinois Valley Cultural Heritage Association President Seth McGee said the history of the barn is what makes it special to the people of Greene County. “Captain Fry’s father, General Jacob Fry, built the first house in Carrollton,” McGee said. “His brother was an instructor at West Pointe before the Civil War. Then it had porthole windows which makes it rare and it is an eight-sided barn. I have never seen another one like it.” Joe Schnelt , 81, said Captain Fry sold the farm to his grandparents, Joe and Catherine Goeddey, around

1913 or 1914. The farm has been in the Goeddey and Schnelt family ever since. Joe Schnelt got possession of the barn around 1983. “When I was a little kid it still had those little octagon windows up there,” Schnelt said. “All the area around the barn used to be pasture and my grandpa would let the circus come in and set up under one condition – that all his grandkids got free tickets.” During the late 1940s the barn was made into a milk barn. “I can remember how my Uncle Johnny would milk the cows in the barn and Uncle Joe would take the milk up to the Greene Valley Dairies just west of the square,” Schnelt said. “There was a vacant lot across from the bank and the back end of that was Greene Valley Dairy.” As the Days prepped the barn for the move, several historic items were uncovered including initials etched in one of the wood boards surrounded by a heart and an arrow. The initials were C.M. and it was dated 3-14-15. “It would be really nice to maybe find out who those initials belonged to, but they are probably long gone now,” Day said. “The board will be put back in the barn as it has remained for the past almost 100 years.” Jane Rogers with Trillium Dell Timber Works out of Knoxville, Ill. explained the process of moving such a huge structure. “We took metal I-beams 30 feet, 35 feet and 45 feet long and run them through the building, resting them on pillars of cribbing,” Rogers said. “From there we took the hydraulic lift and lifted it up 18 inches off the foundation, removing the bolts which had held it to the foundation. Two dollies were put on the back side and two on the front and it was pulled out and to its new location with a tractor.” The move had been planned to take two days with one day to stabilize and lift the barn and the next day to move the barn, but the movers and the local builders worked so well together it was all accomplished in just one day. Jim and Dotty Day also assisted in preparing the barn by cleaning and removing straw from the hayloft and removing broken panes of glass from the windows. They carefully removed and numbered the doors and hinges from the interior and exterior of the barn so they can be replaced. “Most of the doors hinges nails which made them very hard to remove,” Day said. The Days also removed horse pasture fencing and orchard trees from their property which were in the path of the barn’s move. They also obtained a building permit and purchased boards from the crew tearing down an adjacent barn at the original barn site. “The Goeddey-Schnelt families deserve a lot of credit for maintaining the barn all these years,” Day noted. “Without their effort the barn move would not have been possible. I know the historians refer to it as the Fry barn but most local people our ages think of it as the GoeddeySchnelt barn because that is the family who owned it during our lifetimes. It seems somehow inconsiderate not to include their names in the description of the barn when I believe they owned it for almost 100 years.

A semi pulls the historic Fry Barn onto the newly poured octagon shaped concrete slab prepared for it at the home of Judge Jim and Dotty Day. The barn was moved across a cornfield to the Day home in order to make way for Walnut Estates, a development of 22 new homes being constructed on the site.

Jim and Dotty Day hold up a board taken out of the Fry barn while it was being prepped to move to their house. The board is dated 3-14-15 and a heart contains the initials C.M. The barn was owned by the Goeddey family during this time period.

The Days said they have not and do not plan in the future to obtain any funding through historic groups, agencies or seek any tax dollars to restore the barn. “We want to consider how best to use the barn and over time make repairs,” Day said. “The SchneltGoeddey family provided a photo to us showing the barn and home and other farm buildings as they looked in 1884 and all the buildings were white at the time, so we are considering restoring the barn to that color.” Day said they are still considering what will be the best use of the barn as they plan its repair and restoration. “We have had many suggestions given to us which we are considering,” Day said. “Our grandchildren have claimed the loft and we will definitely be using part of the barn for storage, but the main barn would

be a wonderful place to entertain. It’s even been suggested we should rent it out for receptions, reunions, etc. Right now we are very grateful for everyone involved in the move and that the barn made it safety intact her to its new home.” Because the barn was moved a day ahead of schedule, Day said it was impossible to contact everyone who wanted to witness the move, but in a small town word travels fast, so there was still a sizeable crowd gathered at both locations. Local businesses that took part in the move include Ballard Brothers of White Hall who constructed the octagon shaped foundation and flooring; William Hoesman and crew, K.E. Edwards and Gary VanMeter of J.J. Chumley Builders supervised construction of the concrete work and assisted Wolfe Movers of North Manchester, Ind., in the preparation and completion of the move.

Junior high Hawks reach state tourney, Lady Spartans bow out in first round The North Greene Lady Spartans junior high softball team was eliminated from the Class 1A state tournament in the first round Friday, but now the seventh- and eighth-grade Hawks of Carrollton will get their turn for some state tournament hardware. North Greene saw just its second season as a program come to a close following a 12-2 loss in five innings against Pontiac St. Mary's Friday at Champion Fields in Normal. St. Mary's went on to place fourth at the eight-team state tournament. Kaitlyn Smith and Jessica Jilg collected the lone hits for the Lady Spartans with Britani McEvers scoring both of North Greene's runs. She crossed home plate for the first time in the top of the second inning to cut St. Mary's lead to 2-1, but a combined eight runs in the second and third innings by St. Mary's put the game out of reach. The Lady Spartans finished their season with a 13-5 record. In junior high baseball action, the Carrollton Hawks won a 10-0 decision in six innings against Staunton Saturday in Gillespie to win a sectional championship. Now 14-0 for the season, Carrollton will face 16-4 Teutopolis in the first round of the Class 2A state tournament at 10 a.m. Friday at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria.

Carrollton hosting hoops coaching clinic Oct. 13 This year's Carrollton Round Table Basketball Coaches Clinic will be Sunday, Oct. 13, at Goetten's Oasis Restaurant in Carrollton. Coaches from all levels of the game are welcome to attend. The event begins at 1 p.m. and includes a meal, so reservations must be made by contacting Jeff Krumwiede at (217) 491-1276.

Carrollton, Illinois

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

CARROLLTON 42 | NORTH GREENE 15

Hawks stay perfect vs. Spartans SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press With the Carrollton High School football team facing the problem of another sluggish first half, Luke Palan was the answer. The junior running back ran for a season-high 140 yards and three touchdowns — the first of which gave the Hawks the lead for good, while the last helped them pull away from just a three-point advantage — as Carrollton beat North Greene 42-15 Friday in White Hall. "With some of the playmakers we have, we can strike for a score at anytime," Hawks head coach Nick Flowers said. "When the ballgame was tight, Luke showed what kind of back he is by putting together one heck of a night rushing." Palan averaged more than eight yards per carry and the Carrollton (5-0, 3-0 Western Illinois Valley Conference South) rushing attack totaled 269 yards Friday. Clay Duba added 44 yards on just seven carries and Cole Brannan finished with 38 on six carries with one touchdown five minutes into the contest. But the Spartans (2-3, 1-2) got a safety and then went ahead 8-6 early in the second quarter on a 4-yard run by junior Kolten Heberling, who finished with a team-best 52 yards on the ground. Carrollton trailed until just more than one minute remained before halftime, when Palan took off for a 13-yard touchdown run to give the Hawks a 12-8 lead at the break. He scored again — on a 2-yard touchdown — after just 50 seconds of play in the third quarter. North Greene cut its deficit to 18-15 when quarterback Nathan Randall — who went 12-of-28 passing for 198 yards — punched in a 1-yard touchdown on the ground with 3:39 to play in the third quarter. But the Hawks pulled away thanks to a Palan 25-yard touchdown run and a 13-yard interception return for a touchdown by Cody Leonard within 10 seconds of one another late in the third quarter. Carrollton quarterback Jacob Smith capped off the Hawks' scoring with a 1-yard touchdown plunge with 3:37 to play. The Hawks can secure themselves a Week 10 game in the postseason with a win against rival Calhoun (1-4, 0-3). The squads kick off at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Hardin. "It’s not very often in the WIVC that you can wrap up a playoff spot before the conference is won," Flowers said. "Typically there’s no [postseason berth clinched] until you win the conference. It just so happens that we don’t play Greenfield until Week 7." —— GREENFIELD-NW 49, CALHOUN 14 Greenfield-Northwestern remained the only other team unbeaten in WIVC South play when the Tigers won a 49-14 decision Friday in Hardin. Senior running back Dakota Coffey — who finished with 117 yards rushing, 32 receiving and four total touchdowns — scored twice inside the opening six minutes. Isaac Masters' 15-yard touchdown pass to Riley Marsh late in the first quarter gave the Tigers (4-1, 3-0) a 22-0 lead. Marsh, who finished with 67 yards rushing and 49 receiving, added a 51-yard touchdown run just more than three minutes before halftime. By the end of the second quarter, Greenfield-NW had built a 49-6 lead. "I'm proud of the way our guys executed," head coach Joe Pembrook said. "We talked about wanting to get off to a better start, being able to move the football with greater success and taking advantage of whatever opportunities we were given or were able to create for ourselves." The Tigers forced Calhoun into five turnovers as Austin Plogger and Sam Drotz each picked off a pass and Blaine Bilbruck, Eli Weller and Jacob Bone each recovered a Warriors fumble. Greenfield-NW will seek a fifth-straight win when it hosts West Central (3-2, 2-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Greenfield. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Lady Tigers, Spartans hit 10 wins After their latest victories, the Greenfield-Northwestern and North Greene volleyball teams have each reached double-digit wins for the season. The Greenfield-NW Lady Tigers won a 25-14, 27-25 decision against Griggsville-Perry Monday at Northwestern High School, improving to 10-4 for the season. Megan Bishop put down six kills and tallied seven digs and Erika Conrady chipped in four kills for the Lady Tigers. Courtney McNeely distributed 16 assists and added three kills and four service points. Greenfield-NW, 2-2 in the Western Illinois Valley Conference, continues a stretch of non-league matches with a trip to the Carlinville Tournament Saturday. The North Greene Lady Spartans improved to 10-6 this season with a come-from-behind 26-28, 25-19, 25-17 win against Franklin Tuesday in White Hall. Tabitha Hawk led the squad with eight kills and 14 service points. Brittney Kraushaar added six kills and four blocks while Bailey Evans totaled 15 assists and eight service points. Halie Kraushaar and Karlie Davis chipped in four kills each and Arika Hull tallied three plus six blocks and seven service points with three aces. North Greene, 3-2 in the WIVC, continues league play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Calhoun High School before visiting Brown County at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Preventive mastectomy to avoid breast cancer

People around the world were shocked to learn that actress and activist Angelina Jolie opted to have a double mastectomy in 2013 to reduce her risk of breast cancer. Jolie, who was 3 7 years old at

t h e time of the procedure, reportedly learned that she carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. In addition, the actress

has a family history of cancer. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56. By having a preventive mastectomy, Jolie reduced her breast cancer risk from 87 percent to 5 percent, according to an op-ed piece she authored in The New York Times. Jolie is not the only well-known actress to opt for a preventive mastectomy, as fellow thespian Christina Applegate had a similar procedure in 2008 after learning she had a mutation of the BRCA1 gene. These highly publicized cases have left many women wondering if a preventive mastectomy is something they should consider. BRCA stands for "breast

cancer susceptibility genes," a class of genes known as tumor suppressors, says the National Cancer Institute. Mutations in these genes have been linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. A person's risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is greatly increased if he or she inherits a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Mutations in these genes could also put a person at increased risk for other cancers. Genetic tests can check for mutations in BRCAgenes. During such a test, a blood sample is taken, and if a mutation is found, a person may get genetic counseling and work with a doctor to develop a plan of action. It is important to note

Jersey County Health Department

that not all people with a genetic mutation will get breast cancer or ovarian cancer. The National Cancer Institute's "SEER Cancer Statistic Review" states a woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is about five times more likely to develop breast cancer than a woman who does not have such a mutation. Although there is no surefire way to determine if a person with a mutated gene will develop breast cancer, many women who are considered high risk opt for a preventive mastectomy to reduce their risk. Women who have a family history of breast cancer, have received positive results from gene testing, have already had cancer

Many breast centers are staffed with breasthealth specialists, genetic counselors, breast surgeons, and reconstructive surgeons who can help patients make the best decision. Second opinions are strongly recommended for women considering a preventive mastectomy.

How you can lower your risk of breast cancer Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, second only to lung cancer. One in eight women is expected to develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and a recent survey by the Society for Women’s Health Research found that 22 percent of women named breast cancer as the disease they fear most. The specter of breast cancer makes it no surprise that women are eager to seek various ways to reduce their risks of developing this potentially deadly disease. Though cancer treatments continue to evolve, there remains no cure for breast cancer or any other types of cancer. However, there are steps men and women can take to reduce their risks of developing breast cancer. In

fact, the National Cancer Institute says avoiding breast cancer risk factors is the best path to prevention. * Avoid exposure to radiation. Repeated exposure to radiation therapy used to treat illnesses like Hodgkin’s disease can increase a person’s risk of breast cancer, particularly if treatments begin at an early age. * Keep a healthy weight. Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. Healthy eating and exercise can help women control their weight while reducing their risks of developing breast cancer and a number of other diseases. Scientists at The Mayo Clinic believe there is a link between estrogen production in fatty breast tissue and breast cancer.

* Get your exercise. Exercising four or more hours a week can lower breast cancer risk. Exercise need not be heavy lifting at the gym. Any moderate physical activity, from cycling to walking, can be effective. Exercise decreases hormone levels in the body that can impact breast cancer risk. Some studies indicate simply walking briskly for one to three hours per week can reduce a woman’s breast cancer risk by 18 percent. * Eat a low-fat diet. The Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study from the National Cancer Institute found that the highest rate of breast cancer reduction was among a group of women who ate a low-fat diet. * Reduce alcohol consumption. Various studies have indicated that

Learn about the woman behind the ‘cure’ Thousands upon thousands of women have battled breast cancer. Some have pulled through the disease, while others succumbed to the disease after a brave fight. Few people who have waged war with breast cancer are better known than Susan Komen, a name many instantly associate with the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the most widely known, largest and well-funded breast cancer organization in the United States. Susan G. Komen was born Susan Goodman in 1943 in Peoria, Ill. According to her sister, Nancy, Susan was the high school homecoming queen and a college beauty queen. After graduating from college, Goodman returned to her hometown and pursued modeling, eventually marrying her high school sweetheart, Stan. Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 after finding a lump that subsequent testing revealed was cancerous. Komen underwent a procedure called a subcutaneous mastectomy, in which the outside of the breast tissue was left intact, but the interior breast tissue was removed. The doctor who did the procedure assured Komen that she was cured. Despite urging her sister to get a second opinion, Komen was convinced she was safe. But within six months Komen found another lump under her arm, and, by this point, it was evident that the cancer had spread. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic soon determined the cancer had metastasized to her lung and under her arm. Komen underwent several different treatments to slow the progression of the cancer, including radiation and intense chemotherapy. However, the cancer continued to spread and eventually her body

developed a resistance to most of the medication. During treatment, Komen repeatedly spoke with her sister about her wish to make the entire breast cancer experience and treatments in the hospital more palatable for women, including improving the appearance of waiting rooms and treatment centers, and doing other things to help comfort those who would find themselves in similar situations in the future. Komen lost her battle with breast cancer in 1980 at age 36. By the time of her death, Komen had undergone nine operations and three courses of chemotherapy and radiation. Nancy Goodman Brinker then made it her mission to do everything she could to help end breast cancer and increase awareness of this potentially deadly disease. In 1982, Brinker established the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her sister’s memory. Since its inception, the organization, now called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has provided funding for basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research projects. It also has become instrumental in breast health education and urging women to do self-screening while promoting annual mammograms. Through the years, the foundation has teamed up with many well-known businesses, brands and organizations as part of its fundraising efforts. To date, the organization has invested $750 million in breast cancer research, awarding many thousands of dollars in grants in countries around the world. Through her struggle with breast cancer, Susan Goodman Komen unknowingly inspired an organization that has helped to save the lives of millions. Learn more at ww5.komen.org.

women who drink alcoholic beverages may develop cancer at a higher rate. Women who consume two to five drinks daily have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who abstain from alcohol. * Weigh the risks of hormone replacement therapy. There are mixed reviews on hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, for postmenopausal women. There may be a link between long-term HRT and breast cancer, particularly when estrogen and progesterone are used in combination. Some doctors advise estrogen-only hormone therapy for women who have had a hysterectomy. * Use of SERMs and aromatase inhibitors. Selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, are drugs that

which increase access for uninsured women to these life-saving screenings. The Illinois’ Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP) provides free mammograms to uninsured women aged 40 to 64. Uninsured women under age 40 who are experiencing problems may also qualify for a free mammogram and other related services through IBCCP. Additionally, Jersey County Health

that the more often a woman takes antibiotics, the higher her breast cancer risk. A study of more than 10,000 women found that women who took antibiotics for the equivalent of about 25 prescriptions over an average of 17 years where twice as likely to develop breast cancer than women who never took the drugs. * Breastfeed your children. Lactation can suppress ovulation and the body’s production of estrogen, which has been linked to higher levels of breast cancer. Breastfeeding may drop a woman’s breast cancer risk by 4 percent. Although there is no cure for cancer, there are a number of different ways women can reduce their risks for breast cancer.

Famous breast cancer patients Perhaps because they are thrust into the spotlight so often and have quite a large amount of money at their disposal, people believe that celebrity musicians, actors and sports figures are invincible. Yet, just like regular people, celebrities are susceptible to the same illnesses as private citizens. Many well-known women have battled breast cancer. Some have beaten the disease, while others succumbed to it after a

brave battle. Each of these prominent figures can help shed light on just how pervasive breast cancer can be and how no one is immune. * Christina Applegate, actress * Merideth Baxter,actress * Shirley Temple Black, actress * Nancy Brinker,founder of Susan G.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Free mammograms for those who qualify October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. About one in eight women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point in her life. With prevention, such as screenings, breast cancer can be diagnosed early and lives can be saved. In an effort to promote early detection, Becky Shipley R.N., M.S., would like to highlight services at the Jersey County Health Department

act like estrogen on some bodily tissues but block the effect of estrogen on other tissues. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the amount of estrogen made by the body. Women with a high risk of breast cancer may benefit from taking a SERM or aromatase inhibitor. * Increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Carotenoids are cancer-protective pigments found in a vast number of fruits and vegetables. Researchers at New York University found women who had higher blood carotenoid levels had a significantly smaller risk of breast cancer than women with lower levels. * Go sparingly on antibiotics. Only take antibiotics when they are truly needed. New evidence suggests

Breast cancer diagnosis often described in stages

Upon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, many women instantly want to know their chances for survival. Such a reaction is understandable when receiving a diagnosis of any disease, and especially one as potentially deadly as breast cancer. A breast cancer patient’s prognosis is often linked to the stage of the disease. Stages are used to make breast cancer more understandable to patients and to give them a basis for comparison relative to other patients. As with many diseases, breast cancer is best treated the earlier it is detected, and the various stages of breast cancer can offer some insight into how far along the disease has progressed. * Stage 0: During stage 0, cancerous cells have not broken out of the part of the breast in which they started or invaded neighboring tissue. The earliest stage of breast cancer, stage 0 breast cancer is considered noninvasive and is often successfully treated. * Stage I: Stage I breast cancer is divided into two subcategories and is an invasive cancer in which cancer cells have begun to invade normal surrounding breast tissue. Stage IA describes invasive breast

cancer in which tumors measure up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast or to the lymph nodes. Stage IB is also invasive but does not necessarily feature a tumor in the breast. In such instances where there is no tumor in the breast, small groups of cancer cells no larger than two millimeters are found in the lymph nodes. When tumors are found in the breast, the tumors are no bigger than two centimeters and there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes. * Stage II: Stage II breast cancers are divided into two subcategories depending on whether or not there is a tumor in the breast. Stage IIA can refer to invasive breast cancers in which no tumor is found in the breast but cancer has been found in one to three lymph nodes under the arm or in the lymph nodes near the breast. When there is a tumor in the breast during stage IIA, the tumor may be two centimeters or smaller and have already spread to the lymph nodes under the arm or the tumor may be between two to five centimeters but it has not spread to the lymph nodes under the arms. Stage IIB breast cancer may refer to an invasive breast cancer in which

the tumor is between two and five centimeters and small groups of cancer cells have been found in the lymph nodes. This stage is also used to describe tumors between two and five centimeters that have spread to the lymph nodes under the arm or near the breastbone, or tumors larger than five centimeters that have not spread to the lymph nodes. * Stage III: Stage III breast cancers are characterized by two categories, stage IIIA and stage IIIB. During stage IIIA, the tumor is between 2 and 5 centimeters in size and has spread to at least nine underarm lymph nodes. During stage IIIB, the tumor has spread beyond the breast to tissues nearby, such as the skin, chest wall, ribs, muscles, or lymph nodes in the chest wall. * Stage IV: Stage IV breast cancers describe invasive breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body. These organs can include the bones, brain, distant lymph nodes, lungs, liver, or skin. Stage IV breast cancers are often described as “advanced” and could be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

AMH physical therapist treated ‘close to home’ It was the worst possible news. At age 39, Sue Heinz, a wife, mom of two busy daughters and a full-time physical therapist at Alton Memorial Hospital, was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It’s been so surreal. Even today I can’t believe I went through all of this. I feel so great now and am grateful for everyone who was there for me,” Heinz said, crediting her family, friends, co-workers and patients who supported her. Heinz, who had her first mammogram at 35, was scheduled for a mammogram around her 40th birthday, but a month before she discovered a lump in her armpit. After seeking care from her doctor, she was later referred to both a surgeon and radiologist. Following a CT scan and the removal of a lymph node for testing, Heinz learned she had breast cancer on Oct. 26, 2012. Heinz began her treatment with AMH medical oncologist Mark Woodson, MD. Because of the presentation of her disease, she also sought the help of cancer specialists in St. Louis. “Dr. Woodson immediately had a plan for me to fight this starting with chemotherapy,” Heinz said. “I was confident because he knew what we needed to do.” Heinz began chemotherapy treatment at Alton Memorial Hospital’s Outpatient Cancer and Infusion Center. “Sue has been through a lot of treatments to eradicate her disease including chemotherapy, surgeries and radiation,” Dr. Woodson said. “When possible, we always hope our patients can receive care here in their own backyard. Sue has really been a model patient. I’ve been impressed with how she has tried to keep things normal in her life by working and always remaining upbeat.” Following her chemotherapy, Heinz chose to have a double mastectomy in February, at which time 10 lymph nodes were also removed for testing. She also began working with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon both before and after her radiation treatments. “This was all such a surprise for me,” Heinz said. “I have an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor, but I have no other family history. I needed to do everything I could to fight this. I didn’t want to have to go through this again. I had the BRCA gene test for cancer because I wanted to know for my own daughters. Thankfully, that test was negative.” Heinz was only in the hospital for one night following her surgery, but took six weeks off from work to recover and begin radiation treatment under the care of Joel Simmons, MD, medical director of Radiation Oncology at AMH. Heinz concluded her radiation

Bras on Broadway

Build-a-Bra-for-the-Cure - An exhibition and benefit auction To celebrate breast cancer awareness Month, the Jacoby Arts Center is partnering with Alton Memorial Hospital to sponsor “Bras on Broadway,” a unique exhibit of “artful” bras made to support the fight against breast cancer. The exhibit will be on view at JAC, East Gallery, from Oct. 5 to October 25. The donated bras will be auctioned off via a silent auction at the “Bras on Broadway” fundraising event on Oct. 25. All proceeds from the exhibit and auction ben-

efit will go to Alton Memorial Hospital’s breast cancer support program, You’ve Got A Friend.

treatments at the AMH Cancer Care Center, where she became one of the first patients to receive radiation treatments using the new TrueBeam linear accelerator after the renovated Cancer Care Center reopened early this summer. Heinz was able to not only receive cutting-edge treatment using image guidance, but also have the convenience of seeking treatments during her workday over lunch and not having to travel a long distance. The amount of treatments, time commitment and both physical and

emotional effects of cancer treatment can be taxing on patients, Dr. Simmons said. Having state-of-the-art treatment available locally to patients like Heinz has been invaluable. “Sue was an excellent patient,” Dr. Simmons said. “She was very committed and very in tune to her care. We were able to continue her plan of care, and she did fantastic.” Since Heinz’s final radiation treatment in June, there have been no signs of her disease. She walked in her first Race for the Cure as a breast cancer survivor and is back to work full time.

Although Heinz has been tested physically and emotionally over the last year, she is grateful for what she has been through and those around her. “It was all very scary at first,” she said. “But with my health care knowledge, I felt a little more at ease. I was always treated with such empathy and care at Alton Memorial. It was comforting to be here, and I am so proud of where I work. They say the best care is close to home. I believe that, and I got it.” By Becky Slatin
