NG superintendent to help County board create vision for IL schools member disagrees

North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens updated board members at the Oct. 23 school board meeting about his participation in the Vision 20/20 committee as part of the Illinois Association of School Administrators’ efforts to reform public education in Illinois.

Stevens serves on two sub-committees – Leadership and Organizational Transformation.

“I am honored to represent North Greene and the Two Rivers Region of the IASA on the committee,” Stevens said. “There are six subcommittees, and 42 superintendents from around the state serve on these committees.”

In November 2012, the IASA Board of Directors overwhelmingly supported a proposal to move forward with a visioning process to develop a longrange blueprint for improving education in Illinois, culminating in 2020.

Stevens, along with the other super-

intendents on the committees, will work to unite the Illinois education community around a vision to improve education in the state.

This process will ultimately document the consensus among Illinois educators for “creating a desired future vision for education in Illinois while providing a common voice from the state education community.”

Stevens said committee meetings are scheduled for January, April and June 2014.

When the district decided to shut White Hall Elementary at the end of the 2012-13 school year, one question which arose was what the district planned to do with the relatively new playground equipment at White Hall.

“We committed to moving it from its current site to North Greene Elementary in Roodhouse,” Stevens reminded board members. “Priorities have precluded the move so far, but plans are underway to make the move soon.”

State purchases $3.4 million ferry for Kampsville

Commuters traveling across the Illinois River to and from Kampsville will soon be traversing the river on a brand new barge and push boat in Kampsville.

In a press release issued by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn’s office Oct. 24, the ferry in Kampsville – the Kampsville II, which has been in service since 1978 – will be replaced by a new $3.4 million vessel.

The ferry between Calhoun County and Greene County connecting Route 108 and Route 96 is one of two ferries which operates on the Illinois River.

The second one is also located in Calhoun County in Brussels.

In fact, the new ferry which has an engine meeting EPA Tier 3 Standards for emissions – aimed at reducing tailpipe and evaporative emissions – was purchased with the intent to bring it downriver to operate at the Brussels ferry location if necessary, Dave Blanchette, press secretary with Gov. Quinn’s office, said.

“The whole idea is to make them interchangeable and flexible so they can service both ferries,” Blanchette said.

According to numbers issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation, the boat in Kampsville ferried more than 280,000 vehicles across the river in 2012, despite closing for three weeks due to ice. IDOT estimates around 1,000 vehicles use the ferry daily.

The new boat will carry three fewer cars than the retiring Kampsville ferry, which will be salvaged to “defray some of the costs of the new vessels,” Jae Miller, a spokeswoman for IDOT, said in an email Monday. Kampsville II held 18 vehicles.

and High School Principal Keppen Clanton reported on the activities going on in their respective schools.

Scott reported the North Greene Elementary teachers were trained recently on the use of a new Tonas Graphics Poster Printer and met with an iStation representative to address concerns on how to correctly make use of the iStation reports. He also reported a recognition breakfast was held to honor those who excelled on last spring’s ISAT tests.

At the high school, Clanton reported on the Homecoming events, which took place recently, as well as Fall Festival planning for Junior High students. She also congratulated the junior high softball team for making it to the IESA state quarterfinals.

On Oct. 9, the high school students took the PLAN, EXPLORE and practice-ACT test while senior class members met with ISAC and filled out college applications and scholarship forms.

on funding source

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Funding of a child advocacy center for the county became the subject of much discussion at the last Greene County board meeting with one board member objecting to the method the county approved for funding it.

Board member Luke Lamb said he is all for funding the program, but objected to providing this funding through fees or fines on traffic tickets, misdemeanors or felonies.

The Judiciary Committee, which consists of Joe Nord, Mike McNear and Mike Kiger, met with Tricia Ulery, director and forensic interviewer for the New Beginnings Child Advocacy Center which covers Greene,

Jersey, Calhoun, Macoupin and part of Montgomery County.

If a child has been sexually or physically abused, Ulery would be brought in to coordinate all police, detectives, attorneys etc., to do one single interview on camera with the alleged victim.

The center is currently funded by a small state grant but more funding is needed – hence the plea to the county.

“In our state, there is a statute which says if there is a child advocacy center in your county, the county board can pass what they call fees and fines and then the money goes to help run the child advocacy center,” Ulery said. “Fees or fines can be anywhere from $5 to $30 and can go on anything like traffic tickets, (See, BOARD, A2)

Greenfield High School will be getting the latest technology in its computer lab, thanks to a Rural Education Achievement Grant the district received.

Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said the district received a little more than $30,000 from the grant, which will be used to purchase 23 new computers and make updates to software.

“This grant is what we use for a lot of the technology upgrades in our district,” Bowman said. “It’s really nice because if we didn’t get this grant, I don’t know how we could manage the upgrades.”

The Rural Education Achievement Grant is administered by the Department of Education to help rural districts that may lack the personnel and resources to compete effectively for federal competitive grants and that often receive grant allocations in amounts that are too small to be effective in meeting their intended purposes.

Bowman said the current computers in the high school computer lab would be moved to the high school LMC, and those computers used wherever needed. All computers would be upgraded to Windows 7.

“The computers in there now are still in decent shape – just not as good as the new ones we will be getting,” Bowman said. “We have several computer-based classes at the high school so they needed to have a lot of memory.

The bad thing is when you upgrade a lab, in three or four years those computers are outdated.”

The last time the district updated its technology was two years ago when new computers were purchased for the elementary school computer lab.

Cost of the 23 computers will be $16,974, and the rest of the grant will be spent on upgrades software within the district.

Bowman also told the board there are School Energy Efficiency and School Maintenance grants available the district could apply for, C

though they are matching grants and would require an expenditure of the same amount from the district.

He also presented a spreadsheet showing the savings in electrical usage throughout the district for the past year. A comparison of electrical bills from last year before show savings of over $1,000 some months. This is due in part to new fixtures, Nordic Energy contract and Direct Energy savings.

Board President Howard Phillips congratulated Angie Brown and the Yearbook Club on their recognition by Walsworth Yearbooks.

Greenfield High School yearbook placed in the top five percent of all yearbooks published by Walsworth.

Superintendent Bowman gave a report on the District Wellness Plan. The Wellness Committee consists of Chris Raynor, Beth Bettis, Jill Pembrook, Sherry Kinser and Kathleen Langley.

They have created and implemented a District Wellness Plan that scored 95 out of 100 on the Wellsat Scoring System.

The district has received four General State Aid (GSA) payments from the state but they have not released any funds for categorical yet.

The district received 89 percent prorated GSA last year. Information has been received that the state may lower payments to 85 percent proration this year.

The 2013 District and School Report Cards and Continuous Improvement plans are available in each building and on the website for review.

“Student growth is continuing and we are keeping pace with the ever higher standards,” Bowman said.

Continuous Improvement plans need approval from the Board of Education.

Board member Elliott Turpin reported on the Greenfield Foundation for Educational Excellence. At the Oct. 17 meeting the Foundation approved several mini-grants for teachers. The gun raffle was won by Bill Hays.

The next meeting will be on Nov. 20.

funds and are basically from a ‘sin’ tax,” Lamb said. “These funds are from a source which is considered morally reprehensible to a percentage of our constituents. Why not put those funds towards something that we can all agree ‘does good.’”

More discussion resulted in a new motion to add a $20 fee to all misdemeanors and a $30 fee to all felonies exempting the traffic violations. This motion passed 5-1 with Lamb being the only dissenting vote.

“I voted No because this is worse than the original motion,” Lamb said.

“It is a tax targeted at the poorest of the poor. I did not win this seat to impose taxes on anyone, let alone a specific group of people. I may not agree with what the people did to receive these convictions or plea bargains, but it doesn’t make it right to single them out for extra taxing.”

Lamb said he felt like he didn’t fight hard enough.

“There are options for funding besides imposing these taxes,” he said.

“Besides the gaming money, another option would be to put it on the ballot for the people to vote on. I would actively campaign for a Yes vote if it was brought to the ballot.”

The county has two establishments which it would receive revenue from.

The way it is configured, the municipality, or in this case county, since both Lone Oak and Third Base are outside any corporate city limits, will get five percent of the total revenue generated from the machines. The state gets 25 percent and the other 70 percent is divided among the vendor and the establishment.

White Hall has video gaming machines in one establishment.

According to White Hall Police Chief Jack Wallis, the city receives between $100 to $200 a month in revenue from the machines.

Ferry (Continued from A1) Kampsville II, a 50-foot twin screw diesel-powered push boat, suffered from regular wear and tear carrying vehicles across the Illinois River, but because of its age and the decreasing availability of replacement parts, a new ferry was a necessity. Routine and preventative maintenance proved costly, as well.

Another push boat and barge, Miss Illinois and Barge 12, were placed at the Kampsville location in 1998 to be used in conjunction with the Kampsville II. However, the newest vessel comes in two parts – push boat and barge – which have to be built to IDOT specifications.

IDOT accepted a bid from the lone bidder, Massman Construction Company, which quoted the vessels at $3,365,735.

Federal Ferry Boat Discretionary Funds will pay for 80 percent of the total cost of the ferry while the state will match with the remaining 20 percent of the cost.

The Kampsville Ferry has been in operation since the 1830s when fares were $.12 per person, and horses on treadmills were used to power the ferry wheel pushing the vessel across the river.

To stop the ferry from drifting down stream, the boat was tethered to a cable which stretched across the river. It wasn’t until the 1940s with a boat called the Carrollton that the traditional barge and push boat ferry was implemented, and a year later, the state acquired the ferry from the private company.

Since that time, ferry trips have been at no cost to those crossing the river.

Ulery said a nurse would also suffice.

“We can send a nurse to training if they would be willing to do it,” she said. “There are grants and things out there that can provide the equipment. It’s just hard to get doctors to give up that time.”

Another goal is to become accredited through the National Children’s Alliance. According to their website the National Children’s Alliance is a professional membership organization dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient – and put the needs of child victims first.

“DCFS is going to start requiring we be accredited by the NCA to get our grant money,” Ulery said. “As right now that is our only source of funding, it’s not really an option – we have to get it done.”

To become accredited, they must follow certain protocol in a variety of different areas. They will also check to see that all of the procedures and practices are written down and everything is up to standard.

Her third goal is to bring training into the schools.

“Hopefully, if I can generate enough money from the county boards, I’d like to hire someone part-time to do some prevention in the schools,” Ulery said. “Last year Aaron’s Law got signed and it is going to require all school to do sex abuse prevention from kindergarten through fifth grade. It’s an unfunded mandate so the schools are supposed to provide it, yet they are not going to get any money for providing it. So, we are hoping the money received from the county boards will at least allow us to hire someone part-time to do some of that prevention in the schools.”

(Continued from A1) felonies, misdemeanors and stuff like that.”

The proposal the judiciary committee presented to the board for approval initially called for a $5 fee on all traffic tickets, including seat belt violations, etc., $10 on misdemeanors and $20 on felonies.

Lamb, while agreeing it was a much needed service and probably saves the county money in the end, said he didn’t have enough information.

“Discussion before the vote left us with unanswered questions,” Lamb said. “We didn’t know how much money she needed or would like to have for the year, a rough estimate of how many traffic, misdemeanor and felony convictions there were each year on average, etc. I think these are some pertinent facts we should have known before we voted.”

There was also a discussion on whether a ticket conviction/fine is a tax.

“Yes, it is 100 percent a tax,” Lamb said. “I see these victimless crimes as a tax and I don’t see it as right as adding a tax onto the top of a tax.”

The first vote was split 3-3 with board members Kiger, McNear and Nord voting Yes and board members Mark Strang, Charlie Helton and Lamb voting No. “Mark and Charlie voted No, citing this tax was going to hit the working man directly in the pocket,” Lamb said.

“I voted No because it is tax on top of a tax that is directed toward a group of individuals. We, the people, are taxed enough without getting it from as far down as the county level.”

Lamb had his own idea – to fund the program using the money received from the gaming machines in the county.

“I wouldn’t normally suggest earmarking funds; however, these are new

around 350 interviews and saved the counties a lot of money in the process.

“I’ve only had to go and testify at one hearing and it was a hearing to see if they would let my DVD in,” Ulery said. “That guy ended up pleading out once the judge let the DVD in, so we do get a lot of plea agreements because once the defense attorney watches the child describe the abuse on camera they realize they don’t want a jury to see that.”

The CAC is funded through a $50,000 grant from the state of Illinois, but they are trying to get funding from each individual county through fines and fees.

“In our state there is a statute which says if there is a Child Advocacy Center in your county, the county board can pass what they call fees and fines and then the money goes to help run the CAC,” Ulery said. “The fines or fees can be anywhere from $5 to $30 and can go on anything such as traffic tickets, felonies, misdemeanors, etc.”

At this month’s meeting the county board passed assessing a $20 fee to all misdemeanors and a $30 fee for all felonies to help fund the program (see County Board story on A1).

Ulery has three lofty goals she would like to see reached in the very near future, one of which is finding a local medical provider to do the sex abuse examinations on the children.

“This is not easy to do because doctors don’t want to have to testify in a court of law if they can help it,” Ulery said. “Right now we still have to refer our kids to Springfield. If a child discloses anything about penetration, we generally send them to the doctor just to be sure they are OK.”

those meetings too, along with law enforcement, and we are all able to talk about where cases are and what is going on with them.”

Their interviewing is not limited to just the victim of the sexual or physical abuse.

“We can also interview kids that have been witnesses to a violent crime,” Ulery said. “Maybe they saw Dad beat Mom up or have been witness to some other form of domestic violence on another family member.”

Ulery relates one case in which a 4-year-old was able to help his 1-year-old sister who was being abused by the babysitter.

“The parents came up and the baby was all bruised up and the babysitter denied to give a plausible explanation for the injuries,” she said. “We interviewed the little boy and he told us what happened, which was basically what we had thought happened, but we needed someone to tell us.”

The CAC can interview kids on just about anything, but their services can only be requested from the police, DCFS or state’s attorney.

“In other words, a parent can’t call up and say ‘I think my kid has been molested – can you talk to them?’” Ulery said. “The request has to come from a legal entity.”

They can interview any child who is verbally able to communicate up to the age of 18.

“All of our interviews go basically the same way so they will be admissible in court,” Ulery said.

“We try to ask as many non-leading questions as possible, which can be difficult when you are talking to a 3-year-old. We try to ask questions where they have to give a free narrative answer rather than just a yes or no.”

So far, in the two years the CAC has been open, they have done

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Many times one doesn’t even realize a service is available until they need it.

Through the New Beginnings Child Advocacy Center based in Carlinville with a satellite office in Jerseyville, Tricia Ulery of Carrollton speaks for the littlest of victims – the child.

If a child has been sexually or physically abused, Ulery, through the agency, is brought in to coordinate with the police, detectives, attorneys, etc., to do a single interview on camera with the child, preventing the child from having to relive the incident over and over again. If the judge rules the interview admissible in a court of law should there be a trial, the child does not have to appear in court.

“Before the Child Advocacy Center was around, children could be interviewed upwards of 12 times,” Ulery said. “They might be interviewed sitting in the metal chair that a drug dealer sat in yesterday and they would have to be interviewed by the police, Department of Children and Family Services, states attorney, etc.”

Instead, there is one interview between the child and Ulery in a victim-sensitive manner with child-sensitive questions. DCFS, police and the state’s attorney are in another room watching.

“I take breaks where I go out and if there is anything specific the officer or the state’s attorney wants me to find out about, they tell me and I go back in and approach the subject with the child,” Ulery said. “We try to approach sex abuse cases now as a team effort. We meet with the state’s attorney every month to find out where cases are in the criminal proceedings. DCFS comes to

Greenfield’s quilter, Mable Batty Cole and friend, Susan Flynn have returned from a three-day tour (via bus) of quilt shops. There were 14 tourists and they stopped at 15 shops.

The display quilts and fabric were outstanding. Mable’s favorite bird is Illinois’ Cardinal; she found this fabric and purchased enough for a quilt. The food was great and motels clean with cordial workers.

Once in a while Rosemary Maple rives and I visit via telephone. She worships at Charity Baptist Church and speaks fondly of “Branches of Love: a group of eight ladies who meet once a month. The sew, making dresses, aprons, for ladies and children’s clothing. In June when Val Garner, RN went to Africa she distributed the Charity Ladies’ Mission work.

Yesterday I received a telephone call from a friend, Nancy Rives who lives in Murrayville. Years ago she was a part-time beauty operator and worked at the Farmer’s State Bank in Jacksonville. She is well-known and respected cashier at the Jacksonville WalMart Store. It is time to plant tulips so I asked her if they were available.

She answered with, “Yes, I sold some today.”

My 3-year-old great-granddaughter, Averice asked her grandmother, Shirley Hammon, “Does great grams’ babysitter (Debbie Fields) give great gram (me) good care?” My answer yes for six years.

Politics is one topic that I will rarely write about and will not preach on.

But it doesn’t seem to matter which side of the isle people are on they are upset with our government. The budget stalemate in Congress causing a government shutdown has definitely had an effect on our country. And both sides see their efforts as doing what is best of for the people and our country.

The only person who know what is truly best for the people and our country is God himself. God created this world and each one of us. In the creation story we read that God saw that each day was good and blessed it.

That applied as well to the creation of humankind. But somewhere along the line humankind has taken what god created and turned it into something completely different.

What happens when we shutdown in our relationship with God? The obvious answer is that we stop growing spiritually. We become like the Israelites wandering in the desert searching for meaning to our life. We rely on our own power and ability to navigate this life. Our prayer life suffers, our worship diminishes, and the church is put in jeopardy.

Let’s not lose sight of who we are in Christ. “Trust in the Lord with all our heart and do not rely on you own insight.”

While Dusty and my dad built our house we lived in a apartment above Uncle George Jenning’s Barber Shop.

Every a.m. I cooked a hot meal for us. One evening (4 p.m.) I heard Uncle George say, “Sit up here and I’ll give you a shave and haircut. Dale will be home in half an hour.” I looked out my north window and saw Mom Hammon sitting in their car, so I went down and invited her to stay all night.

Pop Hammon resisted at first. He had retired from CB&O at 65 and Mom was in her late 50’s. Dusty came from work and we went upstairs for coffee.

Mom said, “I’m going to have hot tea with Mary. I’m staying all p.m. and go home (Beardstown) on the train.” I gave him creo-turpin for his croup and he said, “The food smells good, it’s warm and we’ll stay” After we ate supper, the four of us played cards. Dusty had some pajamas for Pop and I had a gown for Mom. We all slept snug as a bug in a rug.

We all had breakfast together. Dusty went to work. I suggested that since Pop and Mom and their family had lived here in Greenfield for five years that Mom and I go shopping. She bought some creo-turpin at Middleton’s Drug Store and visited. The next stop was Fred L. Bauer’s Shoe Store. He had a good sale, so both of them went home happy. This was the only time they stayed with us!

When Clifton D. Hammon drives to their vacation home in Phoenix, Ariz. they take a route to Colorado Springs and stay at a favorite motel. They will visit Shirley’s brother, William and wife Maria Cole; sister cousin, Vickie Robinson Tiffany and friends; Larissa Tiffany Schiess and Keith, Richard Robinson, Lance Loveinstein and aunt Mel Love Robinson.

Stained glass windows installed in Greenfield clock tower

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The city of Greenfield proudly dedicated their town clock during the Triennial Homecoming in August and they are now announcing the addition of stained glass windows to the clock tower in addition to a contest for Greenfield residents to come up with a second set of windows.

The windows sport the Fleur-deLis design in honor of the club of the same name who donated the clock in 1911 to the new grade school. When the grade school was demolished, the clock was saved and earlier this year work started on a brick tower on the square to house the piece of Greenfield history.

“That is where all the history comes from,” Alderman Steve Hopper said. “We thought we would make the first window with the Fleur-de-Lis pattern in it to honor that event and recognize it. Then we were going to ask the people of the community to come up with a design for the second window.”

However, the council was so impressed with the first window they requested the second window be made in the same pattern to match.

This is not to say the community won’t have a chance to have their input. The council now plans on having two more stained glass windows made which will be interchangeable.

“We are having a contest within the city of Greenfield to see if the community will design or provide us ideas for this second set of windows,” Hopper said. “They can be a theme, a seasonal theme, anything.

Greenfield resident Don Large and Alderman Steve Hopper hold one of the two stained glass windows which have been installed in the clock tower on the square. The Fleur de Lis design was chosen because the clock was donated by the club of the same name to the Greenfield Junior High School in 1911. A contest is currently underway for Greenfield residents to select a second design for the second set of windows being made.

We are just looking for ideas and we have forms available at city hall and Southside Hardware for anyone who would like to submit an idea.”

The forms will be available until Nov. 8 The windows are being built by Hopper and resident Don Large, who is noted for his stained glass work.

“Don is provi siding the training and the expertise to build these windows along with materials, for the most part,” Hopper said. “He is

teaching me how to do it.”

Each window is two by four feet with rounded tops and took between three and four days to complete.

Plans are to have them backlit so they can be seen both day and night.

“The windows are going to be interchangeable so say the next set is an Easter theme – then we would take out the Fleur-de-Lis windows and put those in during this time,” Hopper said. “We just thought it might be fun for the community to have some input on this second set.”

Kane Baptist to celebrate 190th anniversary

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

Members of Kane Baptist Church invite everyone to join them in celebration of their 190th anniversary this weekend.

Festivities begin Saturday evening, Nov. 2, with a concert at 6 p.m. featuring “The Chosen Ones” followed by a reception. The celebration continues Sunday morning, Nov. 3, with coffee, juice and donuts at 8:45 a.m. followed by a 9:30 a.m. presentation of the history of the church by the youth with services to follow.

Carole Terpening has been a member of the church since coming to Kane in 1949 and serves on the 190th anniversary committee. She has seen quite a few changes over the years, some good and some not so good.

“The church itself is just about the same as it always was,” Terpening said. “What has changed is the people; people are more modern now than what they used to be and what I am seeing is it is not as necessary for a family to attend church together as it used to be.”

An average Sunday will see between 50 and 75 people filling the pews, a big decline from decades past.

“When I first moved here, it was nothing to have between 150 Helen Louise Jackson, age 94 to 200 people here every Sunday,” of Roodhouse, died Wednesday, Terpening said. “It used to be a thing Oct.16, 2013 at White Hall Nursing to go to church on Sunday – it was a and Rehabilitation Center. She was family affair. Now, the world kind of born March 20, 1919 in Roodhouse, competes with the church, or at least the daughter of Archie B. and Mary that is what I see. But we still have a E.

Condolences may be left on-line at The first church building was www.airsman-hires.com. erected in 1837 in the town of Home, which was later known as Old Kane.

Helen Louise Jackson

The amount set aside to build the building was $1,554. There were two doors to the building, one on the east and one on the west, which separated the men and women. The women entered and sat on the west side of the church and the men entered and sat on the east side.

Around 1854-55 a survey for the new railroad was made and it was laid through Holidaysburg, which is now known as Kane. The people of Homer moved with the railroad and before long the church met there, too.

Eventually, the town of Holidaysburg was renamed Kane and Homer became Old Kane.

The first religious services in the village of Kane were held in 1867 at Felter Hall by the Baptists and Methodists. This union fellowship continued and shortly a subscription paper was circulated to secure money to build a church. The people responded generously and the same year a church was put up for the Methodists. It was called Union Church and worship was held by various denominations.

Around three years later the Baptists decided they needed to have a church of their own. The abandoned Baptist Church at Old Kane was long past its days as a church building, so a new building was built.

The old church was later moved into Kane and the building was placed on the east side of Main Street and used as a drug store.

The new Baptist Church building was located on its present site and the original building is still in use. The cost to erect this building was $3,600. In 1975, when workmen were adding siding, a piece of wood was found in a sheltered nook near the top of the building. On the piece of wood, a note had been written which reads, “Joshua Ketchum carpenter on the job from Minonk, Ill., 1871, July 22.” This is on display at the church.

The church has been remodeled several times. A basement was added and more classrooms. The upstairs was refinished and in 1965 an education building was added to the back of the church.

In March 1882, a lot west of the church was purchased and by 1889 a parsonage had been built.

Kane Baptist Church is unique, through their founding fathers, slavery was seen as wrong and the church was one of the first religious groups to uphold the rights of all humans.

They are also the second oldest Baptist Church in Illinois and the oldest American Baptist Church in Illinois and the Great Rivers Region.

believer God has done a work in you and you’re a changed person. You don’t have to apologize for Jesus Christ. Tell others what he has done for you.

The wages of sin is death, but he gift of God is everlasting life.

Sunday evening: Bro. Baxter preached from Romans 8: 9-17. If you don’t have the Spirit of God in you, you are lost. We pray that others may see Jesus in the way we live our life.

Pastor John brought the message “A Collection for God’s People”, 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. The scripture tells us of a story about a farmer who sows sparingly and another who sows generously. Each should then give a portion of what he has decided in his heart to give to the poor, not begrudgingly or out of guilt, but for God who loves a cheerful giver. Are we willing to sow generously? Think about it. We live at the highest level of any other country. Over and over in Scripture, we are told to remember the poor and give generous gifts.

Remember the poor. Psalms 112:9, "They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor." Freely give to the poor. Why? Their righteousness endures forever. Jesus tells us in Luke 11:39-41, that the Pharisees look good on the outside, but on the inside they are full of greed and wickedness. If we are generous to the poor, everything will be clean for

you. Generosity in giving is meant to be an expression of the gospel itself. We give because of the grace we have received from God. Mark 9:41, says anyone who gives even a cup of water in His name will not lose their reward. The Gospel is always meant to be accompanied by actions. When we give, we not only supply the needs of others, it also produces overflowing expressions of thanks to God. It is joy to the tenth degree. Joy and thanks to God is multiplied in ways that we cannot even imagine. In turn, those we bless with our generous gifts say prayers that bless us. So we really receive more blessings when we give than we can ever imagine. And the awesome thing is that everyone benefits. We benefit with God being pleased with our hearts and showering blessings so we are more productive. We also receive more prayers from unexpected places. The people we give to benefit because their needs are being met and they are seeing that God cares and supplies. They also know they are not alone and we care for them as well, and most of all, God benefits. God wants to shower out blessings on His obedient children. He wants to answer prayer, or he would not tell us to pray so much. Jesus would not have prayed so much if it was not important to God. And God receives much glory and thanks from everyone involved; meaning that His children are grateful and respectful; two principles we try to instill in our children. Deuteronomy 15:10-11, says to give generously and do so without a grudging heart; because God will bless you in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land.

We may not always know what need to give to or how to trust the distributor to use the gift for those who need it most; but we can be prepared to give when a need comes up. The character of the person we give to is just as important as the gift we give. When we give, we produce good works to others; that they may come to know the Lord. So, we take care of physical, immediate needs so that spiritual needs of loving God through the Son can be encouraged through the physical gift. Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Eldred Baptist Church news As reported by Mary Eustace The Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace. Romans 14:17. A warm welcome from our church family to all of you We would like to invite you to our Sunday Services. Our service today Oct. 27 included music from our choir and a special message from our guest speaker, Don Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter is a senior student at Missouri Baptist University.

He is studying Pastoral Ministries and is on track to graduate in April 2014. He, his wife Angie and their two children Faith & Cole, plan to serve the Lord in whatever capacity lies ahead. The Carpenter’s thanked our congregation for allowing them to serve this Sunday at Eldred and we were all so blessed.

Our Women’s Bible Study Group announced that seven members had attended the Beth Moore “Living Proof Live” Conference in Springfield. She gave us a lesson on breach. That is something breaking or being broken. Unless you are a person with “integrity” which refuses to enlist loyalty on the side of the offense, you do not want to be a part of the breach that tears apart a relationship. Always do your part in mending the breach.

Our message today was on Philippians 4: 2-9. “Peace in troubled waters.” The GOD of peace

will always be with you. Mr. Carpenter talked about the three priorities of right praying. No. 1 would be to agree with one another in the Lord. Let your reasonableness & joy be seen by everyone. Get along! No. 2 was do not be anxious about anything but by prayer and supplication and most important thanksgiving rejoice in the Lord. No 3 let your request be made to GOD. 1 Peter 5:67 humble yourself, GOD cares for you.

It was a wonderful church service. We were all very blessed by Mr. Carpenter’s message of faith.

We are blessed in many ways.

We loved the children’s sermon “Why is a Christian like a pumpkin” as told by Cindy Adcock and demonstrated by several children of our church. Special music was sung by Greg Reif.

We have a “Children’s Church” services for our youth. We serve supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 pm for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. Our Sunday services include Sunday School at 9 am and regular services at 10 am. Our services are always open, please come and join us.

Be Jesus to everyone you meet sincerely and His love will shine through you.

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 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.

This week Brother David read from Romans 6:1-10 and talked about baptism. Merely being baptized by water doesn’t save you a seat in Heaven. One truly must have been saved by Christ’s grace to have his place in Heaven. Once you are saved, you make your public profession of faith in the form of a baptism by water. Just like we marry our spouse before God, our

A7

Carrollton, Illinois

family and friends, we are baptized in front of them as well. Since we are The Bride of Christ, it almost is like a marriage, a public commitment to Christ. We commit to live as He lived. After all, we were saved to SERVE. We weren’t saved to watch TV. We weren’t saved to go to work mindlessly. We were saved to spread the Good News of Christ so that others may also be saved. Often times serving can be scary. God calls us, at times, to do things outside of our comfort zones. It’s a really good thing He empowers us to do exactly what it is that He wants us to do. Through His strength we fulfill His purposes. We need to interpret any anxiety in those moments as excitement instead of fear. There really is no better place to be than within God’s will.

We had a special performed by our Childrens’ Church, “Disciple Song”. Julie George led praise and worship with “Standing on Holy Ground.” Branches of Love will meet Tuesday October 29th from 1-4. Come join us! Our fall revival with Bro Tim Sadler is November 3-6. Pray now for attendance and for lost souls to be saved. Anna Mae Lane is taking donations to purchase Christmas gifts for children at Christian Activity Center at East St. Louis. These are the only gifts they receive. If you’d like to donate, please get in touch with Anna Mae. Thank you to all who helped with the food pantry on Saturday!

Please pray for these: Lloyd Evans family, Shawn Allen family, Marty Albrecht, Joanne Ford, Barb Kahl, our unspoken requests, our country, military families, nursing home residents, shut-ins, our pastor and his family.

Please pray for these: Joanne Ford, Barb Kahl, Elvera Smith, Ralph Hensen, Kelly Moore, 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 It was really beautiful day - 60 degrees and sunny. We had a hard freeze the middle of the week and now the leaves are all falling fast. We have a light wind today.

Saturday night weiner roast and hayride went well. The men were so busy in the fields some of them missed it. But Davey and Linda’s hot chocolate was the talk of the night. The hayride was really beautiful. The sky was so clear, one said they could see a thousand stars, but I think he was looking with just one eye. The message was in Luke 17. Our prayer list is Ray and Patty Baldes, Debbie Gillis, Robby Sprong, Ed Crabtree, Monica’s brother, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Garner family, the Brame family, Malin family. We want to thank Josh and all those who made the hayride so much fun and the firewood. It takes a lot of work to

make anything a success. When you are worried about something, remember worry is like a rocking chair, you may feel like you are doing something, but it won’t get you anywhere. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Remember a stamp takes a licking before it reaches is destination. Never, never, never give up. God is on your side. Reject evil and it will reject you. An unattended leak can sink a ship. Unresolved anger can destroy a friendship. Fix the leak. Instead of trick or treating, this Halloween, knock on some doors, ring some doorbells and invite the people to church. The reward will be greater. Our doors are always open at Walkerville and you will find a very wonderful treat when you meet the Lord there. He’s there all the time. So see you in church Sunday.

Community comes together to help people n United Way’s 2013 mid-campaign report Midway through its campaign, the Southwest Illinois Division of United Way of Greater St. Louis reports it has raised $571,357 toward the community goal of $1.86 million to help people in Madison, Macoupin, Jersey, Calhoun and Greene counties. The campaign will come to a close on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

“As we reach the halfway point of this year’s campaign, I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who has made a gift to United Way thus far during our campaign,” said Jeff Lauritzen, the 2013 campaign chair for the Southwest Illinois Division.

“Every dollar amount makes a tremendous difference in reaching our goal to help people. I encourage those that have yet to make a gift to consider it. The dollars raised for United Way stay right here in our community to help people like our friends, neighbors and relatives in an ever increasing time of need.”

Overall, the United Way

of Greater St. Louis campaign reports it has raised $49.015 million toward the community goal of $72.25 million to help people in the greater St. Louis region.

With generous support through individual and corporate donations, United Way of Greater St. Louis is able to invest more than $1 million each week in the community to help one in three people (that’s more than 1 million people being helped annually) through more than 170 local agencies it funds. Last year, more than 200,000 people and 2,500 businesses donated to United Way, raising more than $72.019 million overall to help people in need throughout the region.

Specifically for the Southwest Illinois Division area, more than $1.848 million was raised to help people in its five-county service area in 2012. “Last year, we were so pleased to have not only reached our goal but to have exceeded it,” Lauritzen said. “This year, we know this

is a tough goal to make, but this community consistently comes together to help one another year after year. Our goal is really about helping people to make this community a better place.”

Support for this year’s campaign is still needed. To give to the Southwest Illinois Division of United Way of Greater St. Louis, call (618) 251-0072 or go online to www.stl.unitedway.org.

Greene County Greene County catches playoff fever scores, results HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CLASS 1A POSTSEASON

A wise man once said, "Playoffs?!

Are you kidding me?!

Playoffs?!"

No joke, Jim Mora. We're The Sam Antics talking about

By Sam Elliott the playoffs.

Greene County's swept up in postseason excitment. All three county high schools are in the Class 1A playoff field. Two will host first round games.

It's times like these I wish I could be in two — or three — places at once.

Carrollton (8-1) capped the regular season with a 41-0 win against Routt (1-8) Saturday in Jacksonville before the postseason pairings were announced later that night. The Hawks got three first-quarter rushing touchdowns from Luke Palan, who finished with 128 yards on the ground.

Cole Brannan stepped into Jacob Smith's usual role at quarterback for parts of the game, getting live experience at the position just in case something were to happen to Smith.

"As a coach, you want to be as prepared as you can be," Hawks head coach Nick Flowers said.

"If Jacob were to get hurt, it’s not fair to Cole to have to step in and not have any live reps. It didn’t look like we missed a beat with him at quarterback."

Smith looked good as a receiver and out of the backfield, too, breaking one run free for a 63-yard touchdown.

But everybody will be back at their normal positions to begin things when playoff football kicks off at 2 p.m. Saturday at Carrollton High School. The Hawks, a No. 5 seed, host No. 12 Fisher (6-3) of the Heart of Illinois Conference.

The Bunnies — awesome mascot, right? — are back in the playoffs for the 12th time after missing out last season. They're averaging 26.9 points per game this season and have allowed an average of 23.3 points per game.

The Hawks, among the 23 Class 1A teams that were also a part of the postseason last year, are making their 16th playoff trip overall. Last year's team was the first from Carrollton to ever advance past the second round.

"This is what we look forward to. This is what all the summer work is for — the postseason," Flowers said. "We wipe all the records away right now and it’s one week at a time."

Over in Greenfield, the Greenfield-Northwestern Tigers (7-2) are back in the postseason for the first time since 2009.

Making their 21st appearance overall, the Tigers are a No. 8 seed and host No. 9 Argenta-Oreana at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Fleur de Lis Field in Greenfield.

Greenfield-NW closed out its regular season by beating Triopia 42-0 Friday in Concord. Isaac Masters ran for one touchdown and threw for 145 yards with two more — one to Dakota Coffey, who also ran for 80 yards and two more scores.

Now the Tigers turn their attention to the Bombers (7-2) of the Okaw Valley (Blue) Conference. Argenta-Oreana is making its second-straight playoff trip and 16th overall. The Bombers averaged 40 points and gave up 21 points per game this season.

"They play an extremely tough schedule and their conference is one of the best small-school conferences in the state," Greenfield-NW head coach Joe Pembrook said. "Our kids are fired up. The community's really ready to go and it'll be a great playoff atmosphere. We're excited."

North Greene High School sure is excited to be joining the playoff party once again. The Spartans (5-4) haven't been past Week 9 since 2005, but a 39-0 win against Mendon Unity Friday in White Hall got North Greene eligible one season after just missing out at 4-5.

"Our goal this year was to take it one step further," head coach Tony Rhoades said. "We had the opportunity in front of us [Friday]

North Greene High School junior Kolten Heberling uses a block by classmate Chas Lewis to get past a Mendon Unity defender Friday in White Hall.

and we talked to our boys all week about staying within themselves, executing the game plan and then good things would happen. I thought we played a great game."

North Greene had momentum from the onset and led 14-0 early in the second quarter after touchdown passes from Nathan Randall to Zach Reische and Logan Ross.

Chas Lewis scored on a 38-yard run just less than two minutes before halftime that left little in doubt the rest of the way. Matt Kisselbach and Kolten Heberling added second-half rushing touchdowns.

The No. 16 seed Spartans will have to travel to Downs to face the 9-0 Vikings of No. 1 Tri-Valley. Out of the Heart of Illinois Conference, Tri-Valley is making its sixth-straight playoff trip and averaging 41.2 points per game this season while allowing just 9.4.

It's a tall order, but one the Spartans are more than happy to take on. Before last year, North Greene hadn't won more than two games in a season since a four-win

"Those guys went through two 1-8 seasons," Rhoades said.

"I wanted it for them more than anybody. They've worked so hard."

All of the hard work put in by all of Greene County's football players has paid off with trips to the playoffs this season.

Now the real fun begins.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL POSTSEASON

Regional roundup: Lady Hawks in title game SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton High School volleyball team found itself trailing Greenfield-Northwestern 5-0 early in the opening game of the teams' Hardin Class 1A Regional semifinal matchup, but then Rachel Williams entered the contest and gave the Lady Hawks an instant spark.

Williams promptly posted one block and three kills, the last of which capped a 7-1 run that gave Carrollton its first lead at 7-6. The teams battled back and forth in

Greenfield-Northwestern's Bailey Bergschneider digs the ball against North Mac Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Virden. The Lady Tigers were edged in a 25-21, 25-10 decision by Carrollton Tuesday at the Hardin Class 1A Regional, ending their 2013 season with a 19-12 record.

a tighly contested playoff match, with the No. 3 seeded Lady Hawks pulling off the slight upset against No. 2 Greenfield-NW in a 25-21, 25-20 decision.

"I could just tell our team was kind of falling asleep out there and still trying to warm up," Williams said.

"Coach said we needed to get fired up out there, so that's what I try to do by screaming and shouting and everything out there. Then everybody had a lot more fun, too."

The Greene County rivals split their two regular season matchups, with the Tigers winning most recently on their home court in Greenfield.

"We knew it was going to be close and could go either way," Carrollton head coach Toni Goetten said.

After the Lady Tigers went ahead 12-9 in the opening game, an 8-2 run by Carrollton gave the Lady Hawks the lead for good and forced a Greenfield-NW timeout.

The Lady Tigers got within 17-15, but four-straight Carrollton points — including one kill and one block by Williams — gave the Lady Hawks their largest lead yet.

Carrollton took the early lead and never trailed during the second game. Greenfield-NW drew even at 8-8 and again at 19-19 after erasing the Lady Hawks' lead with a 6-0 run. Goetten used a timeout to calm her squad.

"I told them just to relax and play their game," she said. "Sometimes we get a little hyped up and we need to just calm ourselves back down. They were able to do that and just run from there. I was very proud of them."

A kill by Williams ended the match and secured Carrollton's spot in the regional championship bout.

The Lady Hawks junior finished with 11 kills and six blocks. Classmate Madison Struble added six kills and seven digs, Michaela Weber dished out 13 assists and Madison Mountain and McKenzie Ruyle led the team with 14 and 11 digs, respectively. In a match with plenty of long and tightly contested points, there were a lot of diving saves by both squads.

"We talk in practice that nothing hits our floor without a body dropping," Goetten said. "They know there needs to be a diving body on the floor if a ball is going to drop.

They go after everything."

Junior Megan Bishop led a balanced GreenfieldNW attack with four kills and added 10 digs. Senior Courtney McNeely led the Lady Tigers with 13 digs and distributed 17 assists while Olivia Thompson added 11 digs and six service points. Greenfield-NW finished its season with a 19-12 record.

Carrollton (13-17) will face No. 1 seed Calhoun (27-3-1) in the Hardin Regional championship match at 6 p.m. Thursday at Calhoun High School. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Junior Brittney Kraushaar led No. 5 seed North Greene with three kills and as many blocks against No. 4 North Mac.

Junior Halie Kraushaar chipped in a pair of kills and three service points.
