Soldier surprises cousin Trae Luca had no idea his cousin, Tanner King, was home on leave from the U.S. Army. King surprised Luca Monday morning at the Veteran’s Day breakfast at the Carrollton Grade School.

It is a requirement of the Open Meetings Act that public meetings be posted at least 48 hours in advance.

The Nov. 6 meeting was posted on time, but had the wrong date. The date on the meeting was Nov. 14, which is the date of the Carrollton City Council meeting.

JRB Chairman Mark Halwachs, who is also the Carrollton School Superintendent, opted to cancel the meeting and reset it for Friday rather than risk the chance of conducting an illegal meeting.

JRB members in attendance included Halwach, representing the school; Jim Banghart, representing the fire district; Diane Hendricks, representing the Township; Andrea Schnelten, representing the County; Mayor Joe Montanez, representing the City; and Donna Nonneman, who was elected as Member at Large to represent the citizens of Carrollton.

The first JRB meeting was held on Oct. 17. At this time, the JRB, by a 3-1 vote, voted not to approve of the proposed TIF district.

Nonneman has made a request of the TIF to remove her residential property from the district.

There were numerous comments made from the public. The first to speak was Clara Hamel. Hamel and her husband, Justin, own Hamel Chiropractic on the Square and are both members of the Carrollton Square Initiative (CSI).

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Communication is difference between living abundantly, meagerly I’ve often noticed how deer live mostly in a quiet environment.

Even this morning I watched one particular citydwelling doe begin to get a bit nervous when the noise of traffic began to surround her. She quickly moved to a quieter place. Not only do they prefer a soundless surrounding, but most of the time deer do very little vocal communication.

It is easy to see how well this characteristic serves the deer. When it’s quiet, any small or unfamiliar sound will cause them to be on alert. There is really much to be said for a life full of quiet moments. Then there’s this time of year.

A time when communication is at its highest and every form of it is used

including sounds. Grunting, bleating, wheezing, and even the echo of fighting, send certain messages to all deer within an earshot.

It is not coincidence that during the most important time of the year for a deer, and during a time when relationships are paramount, communication is important.

And much can be said about this as well.

If you think about it, while relationships may begin from a number of ways, they are only enhancing to our lives if they involve communication. For instance, you may have a sister, which means your relationship was not instigated by you or her but by birth, but if you never talk to that sister or communicate in any way, your relationship with her will

never be meaningful and in fact will dissolve back to the very basics of a simple bloodline.

Every healthy and beneficial relationship will be made up of heartfelt, open, and transparent communication. And without it, we are only fooling ourselves into thinking everything is alright.

In our spiritual lives, communication is the test of whether our connection with God is staying on the fringe of a basic relationship or if our daily life is being constantly enhanced by this kinship. During the most important periods of our life this communication will be the difference between living abundantly and existing meagerly.

Don’t be too prideful to

communicate w i t h G o d .

Tell him w h a t ’s on your heart.

He wants to hear and give you clear direction. Remember, sometimes being quiet may keep you safe but it may also keep you from the people and places God has in store just for you.

TIF (Continued from A1) “As a business owner and wanting to see this community flourish and grow, I feel like this whole process has become something it never should have become,” she said. “It has become a ‘you win – we lose’ type of scenario, and that is not how it should be. It should be about everyone coming together – it should not be about deception in numbers. It should not be about blaming a group such as CSI and saying that we created the TIF boundary.”

Hamel was referencing a comment in last week’s issue of the newspaper by Halwachs stating that the CSI and Pat Pinkston were heavily involved in determining how big the TIF was going to be and what properties were going to be included.

According to Hamel, Pinkston is not a member of the CSI and neither the CSI nor him had anything to do with the area included in the TIF. “I want you to tell me how you got the information that we (CSI) drew out a plan and that we are the ones who came up with the boundaries,” Hamel said.

Halwachs said since Pinkston was the one who speaks on behalf of the CSI at all of the meetings that it was only reasonable to assume that the two are working together.

Nonneman said Halwachs’ statement can be backed up by an email received through a Freedom of Information Act. “Mr. Pinkston told me personally, and I saw it on a FOIA document that it was at his suggestion that part of the boundary was determined to be on Sixth Street going north from Church Street,” she said. “My request was that to eliminate private property, to take it to the middle of that block and use the alley as the boundary instead of Sixth Street to remove residential property.”

The email that Nonneman was referencing was from Pat Pinkston to City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap on July 31.

“I’d also suggest that the TIF be extended north – with the boundaries of 6th St. on the west side, 67 on the east side, and Parkview as the north boundary,” Pinkston’s email read. “On the northwest side, I would remove the property west of 9th St. and south of 108 (the FS property).

“On the southwest side, I would suggest that at Cemetery Road, the area west of 6th should be excluded. I’d suggest actually moving the boundary east of the city shed property and then straight south.”

Hamel maintained that they had nothing to do with the boundaries of the TIF, nor did Pinkston.

“What was in the media this week I feel like was very misleading and, honestly, I feel like this has created such a divide, and it has been much more divisive than it needs to have been,” she said. “We all want the same things for this community. We all care about the community

“I have never in my entire career seen a group of people act like this group in Carrollton… I see a campaign of intimidation, harassment and misinformation. Personal attacks have gone out and it doesn’t even feel like Carrollton anymore.”

Pat Pinkston Carrollton Square Initiative consultant and I don’t understand why we are behaving like the politicians in this country right now. That is how this town is behaving.”

School Board member Vicki Schnelten said it was because the community felt like things were not above board.

“I think the citizens of Carrollton think it has been done very secretively without any input whatsoever and I think that is why you are getting the pushback you are getting,” she said. “The Comprehensive Plan reads very socialistic. It talks about the city being able to spread the TIF boundary to a mile and a half outside of Carrollton and even take farm land.”

Moran Economic Development Group President Keith Moran said Schnelten was completely off base.

“Would you rather there not be any sort of plan,” he asked.

“The public has had plenty of opportunity for input on this plan which describes some goals and objectives for the city.

Instead of making decisions on the fly, we have some very well thought out documents to go by.”

Montanez asked Moran how successful have the TIF’s been in other community.

“Always positive,” Moran said. “It takes a little time but always positive.”

Speaking of other communities that considered a TIF district, the Village of New Athens recently proposed a second TIF for the community of around 2,000, and it did not pass council.

According to Village Clerk Michelle Neff, the issue was tabled at the October meeting when it was set for a vote.

“I don’t know if it will be brought up again or not,” Neff said. “They ran out of time, so the whole process would have to be started over again if they choose to do it again.”

Neff said there were just a few people that opposed the second TIF in the community but noted they were “pretty boisterous about it.”

Hamel said it has come to the point where people are using fear to try to make their point.

“The divisiveness in this community I’m talking about is comments made directly about myself and my husband,” she said. “It is comments to the library staff that they would all be fired if the TIF goes through.

This was told to them by an

alderman. Comments to teachers that they won’t get a raise in 23 years and some would lose their jobs.

“These are things which are very divisive and very fear mongering and don’t need to be said.”

Pat Pinkston, who said he has been in economic development for 30 years, has never seen anything happen like what is happening in Carrollton right now.

“When I made my report to the school, I got interrogated afterwards – the city could probably have done a better job,” he said. “I tried to reach out to the school in February to try to engage them in this whole conversation. I have never in my entire career seen a group of people act like this group in Carrollton.

“If they felt left out they should have come and talked to us. Instead, I see a campaign of intimidation, harassment and misinformation. Personal attacks have gone out and it doesn’t even feel like Carrollton anymore.”

Pinkston gave an example.

“I was at one of the school informational meetings when a group of people started talking about targeting alderpersons,” he said.

Nonneman refuted this claim.

“I have attended every meeting and I have never heard anyone say they were going to target anyone,” she said.

Pinkston said many people are using Facebook for personal attacks on businesses, aldermen and those who support the TIF. Mayor Montanez said he is witness to the harassment as well.

“There was a comment read to me attacking our alderpersons that if you don’t vote no, you gotta go,” he said. “Is that a threat? Is someone threatening our aldermen if they vote for it.

Being a former police officer, I heard the same crap over and over again. What kind of talk is that? We can’t afford to live in a mindset of fear. I refuse to live in a state of fear. Our citizens should not have to wonder who is going to say what next.”

Mary Hires, a member of the Library Board, said the city just needs to slow down.

“The average person in Carrollton wants to see the CSI succeed – they want the square and the entire community to be enhanced, but they are not getting the information,” she

said. “Why can’t we just slow down? Why can’t we all come together, join hands and do this together.

“Maybe the CSI feels threatened because people speaking out against the TIF, but that is their right. It is their right to say I don’t understand and why don’t you slow down. If we all just took a breath and slowed this process down, you would have Carrollton coming together to do this. People don’t understand why this is just coming up.”

Andrea Schnelten agreed with Hires.

“I think you need to take a step back and do some question and answer sessions and put up a quick overview of how you came to this conclusion (that a TIF was needed to spur economic development),” she said.

Pinkston said the CSI has not made a position for or against the TIF and Hamel concurred.

“The CSI is totally open to an alternative,” she said. “We had nothing to do with the TIF, so I think that is one thing that needs to be clear. We are open to an alternative but no alternative has been suggested yet.”

Moran said they will do whatever possibly to make the TIF acceptable to everyone.

“I know our firm is looking forward to working with the city doing what we can to make the TIF more understandable in areas that weren’t before,” he said. “We are in some uncharted territory, and we have addressed questions and are making changes where possible.

“What we also want to consider is to have some additional concepts, look at the residential property and perhaps even slow the timeline down plus other things on the table we need to talk about.”

Teacher (Continued from A1) Siglock didn’t always envision a career in the military. At 22, she was a college drop-out that couldn’t decide what she wanted to do with her life.

“On June 2, 2001, I heard the voice of my deceased grandfather who was a World War II veteran say, ‘Kristin, I am proud of who you are, but you need to do more with your life. Join the Army – it will give you the direction you need,’” she said. “Without even realizing what I was doing, I looked up the number to the local recruiting station and talked to an Army National Guard recruiter.”

Within one week, she was in St. Louis reciting the soldier’s oath.

“I had not even told my parents what I was doing,” she said. “I wrote them a letter and explained what I had done and asked for their support. I finished my letter with these last words – ‘Don’t worry, its not like we are going to war any time soon.’”

Little did she know that three months later the world would be rocked by the terrorist attack on the World’s Trade Center and

the Pentagon.

“It was three months later that these words came back to haunt me,” she said.

“Although I was still confident in my decision, Sept.

11, 2001 forever changed my life. It was on that day that I realized what it meant to be proud of my country and to be ready to live the Soldier’s Creed.”

Her time with the military gave Siglock the chance to get to know herself.

“Through my 14 years of service to my country, I learned more about myself than I ever dreamed possible,” she said.

At the age of 36, a wife, mother to two very active children and working a full time job, SIglock decided to go back to college and finish her degree in teaching.

“Many days I felt too old or felt like I wanted to quit,” she said. “Instead, I would recite to myself while I was in class – ‘I will always put the mission first, I will never accept defeat, I will not quit.’

They say that once a soldier, always a soldier. Today I am asking you to remember that you can achieve anything you want to if you just put your mind to it and keep the strength.”

Roodhouse (Continued from A1) – I make mistakes and I need to have reality checks like everyone else.”

When it comes right down to it, money should be the least important when thinking of a change.

“At the end of the day, faith, family and friends are the most important things,” he said. “I work with some great people, great police officers and have a supportive family.

Perhaps I’m spoiled – I’m just thankful my mayor allowed me to rescind my resignation and held onto my job for me.”

Mayor Tommy Martin couldn’t be more thrilled that

Robison is coming back.

“I think pretty much everyone in this community is glad he is coming back, even the ones he has had to deal with in the past,” Martin said. “The post on Facebook has hundreds and hundreds of comments welcoming him back. He is a great asset to this community and he does so much for our youth. It is a pleasure to welcome him back home.”

As for those comments, Robison had the following statement: “Thank you to the community for supporting us – I truly appreciate it,” he said.

LaVonne King

LaVonne Rosa King, 70, of Carrollton died at 2:25 a.m., Sunday, November 10, 2019 at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, following a courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma.

As her children grew up, she began working as a Groomer at Jersey Calhoun Veterinary Hospital, where she retired in 2016, after 17 years of service, creating many lasting friendships throughout her career.

She had a deep commitment and love for her family, with her love for animals running a close second. Her children and grandchildren were her true pride and joy and she relished in each and every moment she was able to spend with them all. Whether it was family gettogethers at her home, with her nearly famous fried chicken, or traveling with one another.

Their initial homestead was the Mary Larkin farm where they raised chickens to help support their growing family – a daughter, Patsy Jilg, and a son, Bob. In 1959, they built their dream home on Prairie Street. Patsy remembers that with the exception of the electrical wiring, her parents did all of the finishing work themselves.

She never moved from that house, continuing to live there even after her husband died in 1970.

Mable’s friends and family know that she was a very industrious woman, who turned her passion for selling and creative abilities into several successful business ventures. She took great pride in making quality ceramics and quilted materials. She was always looking for the “next big thing” to stay relevant in her trade. She was fiercely independent and insisted on taking care of herself, continuing to quilt until recently.

As much as she loved to create, selling was her true passion and a common theme to all of her endeavors (farming, Sear’s, “Cole’s Ready to Wear”, Cole’s Ceramics, Cole’s Ceramics and Quilts,

The Hard Work of Love

L

ove is only rarely the idyllic bliss pictured in the movies and in romance novels. Often love requires patience, perseverance and sacrifice. Those whom we are called to love are often underserving of our love if judged by the standards of this world, but by God’s standards, all are deserving of our love as fellow children of God. And even when our beloved is deserving of our love and easy to love, it still hurts when we have to say goodbye or contemplate that our beloved will one day leave us through death. Love is hard work and it often hurts. It is doubtful that the pleasures and comforts of love will always outweigh the pains and discomforts that it inevitably brings, and yet, we must go on loving. For what is the alternative? To become a hater? To give up on love and sink into a state where we neither love nor hate? By no means, for a life without love is truly meaningless. When we say that God is love, we are essentially saying that the meaning and purpose of life and existence is love.

–Christopher Simon

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Assessments play key role in proposed TIF

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press One of the main concerns against the proposed Carrollton TIF district is the loss in funding other taxing bodies in the city will lose if the TIF plan is approved.

A TIF district basically freezes the current assessed valuation of property at the current rate and any increase in assessed valuation caused by new construction or improvements to existing buildings goes into a special TIF fund controlled by the city.

Over the past several years, there has been several new businesses established resulting in the remodeling of at least four buildings on the square, yet there has been no new assessments made.

Chief County Assessment Officer Jill Waldheuser explained why there has not been any recent reassessment of commercial property around the square.

“Greene County is under a township form of government,” she said. “Up until Jan. 1, 2018, each township or multi-township had a township assessor. When no one ran for these positions with the townships, the county needed to step in and take over the assessing responsibilities.

“Upon reviewing all the data, I came up with a long range plan to update all

the counties properties data and assessments in sections with commercial property being scheduled to be updated in the 2020 assessment year.”

According to Waldheuser, all property is discovered, listed and appraised so that values for property tax purposes can be determined. Local officials such as the township assessors determine most property values.

The local County Board of Review and the Illinois Department of Revenue also have some assessment responsibilities.

“The Chief County Assessment Officer ensures that assessment levels are uniform and at the legal assessment level of 33 and a third percent by applying a uniform percentage increase or decrease to all assessments in a jurisdiction according to rules set for by the State,” Waldheuser said. “Our end goal is to get all the data updated and be prepared to be able to reassess all properties, if needed, no matter the class, every four years during the quadrennial assessment years.”

Greene County Clerk Debbie Banghart said if the TIF is approved in 2019, then the base for all of the other taxing bodies will be the 2018 assessment.

“The assessments that are in place going back to 2018 are going to be the base for the other taxing bodies,” Banghart said.

“Whatever the percentage is that each taxing

bodies gets of this base will remain the same for the next 23 years, which is the life of the TIF unless it is extended to 35 years.”

Banghart said it would not make any difference if the Carrollton Council postpones the vote until after the new assessments are made because it goes back one year and the 2019 assessments do not reflect the increased value of the property.

“There is a clause in the TIF that says it goes back to the last year that the state has approved the assessments,” she said. “Let’s say it passes in January of next year. If the state hasn’t approved the 2019 assessments, it is still going to go back to 2018.”

In theory, for the other taxing bodies, such as the school, fire department, township, library and county, to receive the extra funding from the increased property taxes on the properties, the vote on the TIF would have to be postponed until at least 2021.

“The property will be assessed in 2020, but the state won’t approve it until the end of the year,” she said. “Therefore, since it goes back a year to realize the 2020 assessments, the TIF would need to be postponed until 2021.”

Another thing confusing to most people is what is looked at during an assessment.

“We base the assessment on the exterior condition of the building and then the market value of what property is selling for,”

Waldheuser said. “We are not supposed to go inside of the building. I can’t look in the window and say, ‘oh, he has $200,000 worth of equipment in there,’ and assess that – I can’t do that. Ultimately, the market value is determined by the sale of property similar to it.”

Below is a list of some of the businesses and buildings around the square and their current property tax rates. Commercial assessments have not been done around the square in 10 years. Note, these are the property taxes paid on the buildings payable in 2019; the business owner is not necessarily the owner of the building.

JRB member addresses division in Carrollton

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Depending on how on looks at it, the subject of establishing a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district in Carrollton has either torn the community apart, pitting the school district against the businesses, or brought it together, with people from all walks of life joining together to oppose the TIF. The sticking point for those opposed to TIF has is it would take money from other taxing bodies and put it into a special account to be used by the city for economic development for the next 23 years.

Property in the TIF zone, which makes up less than 10 percent of the city, would have the current property tax assessment frozen at last year’s assessed valuation and this would become the base.

After the TIF is established, any new development or increase in value of exist-

ing properties due to renovations and other projects, would go into the TIF fund.

The other taxing bodies would continue to only receive their portion of the base amount.

The school district and fire department have said this will have devastating effects on them over the course of the TIF and are vehemently opposing the TIF. Per state statute, one of the requirements is that a Joint Review Board (JRB) be established. This JRB is made up of a representative from each of the taxing bodies that would be affected by the TIF, including the county.

Greene County Board Member Andrea Schnelten was appointed to represent the county on this board and at the Nov. 8 JRB meeting, she hypothesized why there is so much opposition.

Schnelten prefaced by stating that she spent a long time in marketing, specifically for change and program rollout across

the country for an organization before coming to Carrollton.

“I think what has happened here and why there are so many hurt feelings is due to the way it was presented to the community,” she said. “When you roll out a change, the buy-in of the affected parties is so important. I think there are hurt feelings on both sides due to the lack of organized communication.”

Schnelten argued no one has a problem with positive change and growth in Carrollton, but they would have liked to felt like they were a part of it.

“I think the frustration lies in people are feeling left out and feeling like the decision has already been made and they didn’t get to give their input,” she said.

“It’s almost like you asked for their input after the fact, and people are offended.

That is poor marketing and poor buy-in.”

There is no doubt that the process was started to be a very positive thing, but

Crash

(Continued from A1) stated Thomas L. Nail, 59, of Jerseyville driving a 2010 Chevy Silverado southbound on 67 struck a northbound 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer driven by Samantha L. Wilson, 49, of Jacksonville.

The Silverado crossed into the oncoming lane and struck the Mitsubishi headon. It was snowing and the roadway was covered with snow at the time of the crash, police noted in the release.

Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene. A passen-

ger in Wilson’s car, Jezlynee N. Wilson, 23, of Jerseyville, was treated for minor injuries.

Nail along with passengers, Fernanda S. Nail, 43, and Toao L. Nail, 18, both of Jerseyville, were not injured in the crash.

Thomas Nail was issued citation for driving too fast for conditions and improper lane usage.

The Illinois State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is continuing the investigation into the crash.

it has now escalated into an “us against them” scenario.

“I hate that this has become so personal and that our businesses are being affected by this,” she said. “That is not the point of this.”

Schnelten suggested if the community has any questions regarding numbers, which seems to be at the center of the “misinformation,” that they contact Greene County Clerk Debbie Banghart.

Schnelten urged the council to look at other ideas other than a TIF to spur economic growth.

“I know a lot of work has gone into this TIF, but sometimes when you are so for a certain idea you block your brain out from being a devil’s advocate against it,” she said. “…But, I think your main problem is you jumped the gun and there has been a lack of communication and a lot of miscommunication during this process.”

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois On the same day a bill allowing college studentathletes to profit from the use of their name or likeness passed an Illinois House committee, the governing body that oversees most collegiate athletics took steps toward allowing such activity at a national level.

The vote by the NCAA Board of Governors came just hours after state Rep. Emanuel “Chris�

Welch, D-Hillside, passed his House Bill 3904 through the House Higher Education Appropriations Committee by a 9-6 vote on partisan lines.

At the committee, Welch said the efforts of California, which passed a similar bill into law earlier this year, Illinois and at least 10 other states helped put pressure on the NCAA, a membership organization for intercollegiate athletics. “Until this happened, they weren’t listening.

Now they will,� Welch said of the NCAA. His bill would allow student-athletes to be paid for the use of their name and likeness and would prohibit the NCAA from punishing students who take part in the payment or the universities they attend. It would not allow for payment of salaries by

universities.

According to an afternoon news release from the NCAA, its board directed each of the NCAA’s three divisions to “immediately consider updates to relevant bylaws and policies for the 21st century.�

It is not yet clear how or when those changes will be implemented, however.

The board asked each division to create any new rules no later than January 2021, per the news release.

The board’s chair is Michael V. Drake, who is also president of Ohio State University. “We must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,� Drake said in the release. “Additional flexibility in this area can and must continue to support college sports as a part of higher education.

This modernization for the future is a natural extension of the numerous steps NCAA members have taken in recent years to improve support for student-athletes, including full cost of attendance and guaranteed scholarships.�

In his committee hearing, Welch reiterated arguments he made at a news conference Monday, saying the bill was about fairness, equity and leveling the recruiting playing field with California after the passage of its law. Both the Illinois bill and the

California law would take effect in 2023.

The NCAA board’s action was based on recommendations from a state legislation working group, which will continue to gather feedback through April, the news release said.

The Illinois committee’s six Republican members voted against Welch’s bill Tuesday amid opposition from a number of athletic directors from universities across the state.

Those officials included the athletic directors from the universities of Bradley, DePaul, Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Springfield, Loyola, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Southern Illinois and Southern Illinois Edwardsville. “We share the sponsors’ interest in supporting the welfare of student-athletes, but we find this bill to be harmful in the short term and, in the end, unnecessary,� the athletic directors said in the letter.

They said the bill “offers no protection from financial exploitation� of student-athletes by sponsors, marketing firms or sports agents.

Welch’s bill allows students to hire agents and requires the agents to be registered with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional

Regulation.

The athletic directors also said they favor a national approach by the NCAA, which had not been announced by the time their letter was sent.

They also encouraged the General Assembly to postpone discussion of the bill until the regular legislative session which begins next year.

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, state Sen. Elgie Sims Jr., D-Chicago, and Welch issued a joint statement on the decision. “It’s clear that studentathletes deserve to have rights in a billion-dollar industry they helped build.

After advocating for our legislation in Illinois, the NCAA took a welcome — though overdue — step forward to allow students to be compensated for their names and likenesses,� they said in the statement. “We remain committed to being the voice of studentathletes in Illinois and will monitor this decision to ensure it is fully implemented. Today is a victory for student-athletes around the country who are fighting for fairness and equity, and we will continue to fight alongside you.�

Also, Welch introduced a companion measure, House Bill 3941, to provide greater regulation of athlete agents and require them to obtain a state license.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Conservation service stresses No-Till November after harvest The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is once again encouraging Illinois farmers to “keep the stubble� on their harvested crop fields and improve soil health during No-Till November.

First launched in 2017, the NRCS project is mirrored after the national cancer awareness No Shave November campaign that encourages people not to shave during the entire month. The NRCS campaign encourages farmers to keep tillage equipment in their machine sheds this fall and keep the crop stubble on their fields. In the past two years, the campaign has reached more than 1 million people. “No-till farming is a cornerstone soil health conservation practice, which also promotes water quality while saving

farmers time and money,� said Illinois NRCS State Conservationist Ivan Dozier. “The most basic principle of soil health is ‘do not disturb.’ This campaign is a fun way to remind farmers about the important relationship between tillage and soil health.�

Improving soil health increases soil biological activity, which provides erosion control, nutrient benefits, and can simulate non-destructive and natural underground tillage. “No-till is a different management tool because timeliness is very important for planting and weed control. I really like it, though. I like knowing that there is biological activity going on below the ground. You dig down six inches and the earthworms are there. The worms are my tillage tool,� said Illinois No-Till Farmer

B3

Carrollton, Illinois

and President of the Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Steve Stierwalt, Sadorus.

NRCS’ Illinois State Soil Scientist Ron Collman enjoys the campaign as a way to celebrate and prioritize soil resources. “Earthworms can be an incredible part of ag operations but they need to be fed— and fed well. Bare and exposed soil without residue and vegetation doesn’t provide what earthworms need.

Stop the fall tillage and feed the earthworms. Let them work the soil,� Collman explains.

For more information about soil health and the No-Till November campaign, visit ww.il.nrcs.usda.gov. You can also learn more on NRCS’ Soil Health webpage.

Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Landscapes still working in Winter By mid-November, the last of the leaves float down to the ground and the landscape appears stark.

All is quiet and nothing is growing as our gardens have been put to bed. Or are they?

As I walk outside in the frigid cold, it is obvious my body has yet to adapt to colder temperatures, yet the turf stands green and crisp on a frosty morning.

Evergreens brighten up a barren image of my yard. Even cool-season veggies are turning their nose up at the fall weather, rewarding me with a sweeter flavor than those same crops grown in spring.

By this time, our cool-season lawn grasses and evergreens have gone through a pre-dormancy period to harden them off to freezing temperatures.

And though their growth is nearly nonexistent, on a warm sunny winter day, all things green are open for photosynthesis as opposed to the deciduous trees and shrubs that have closed shop for the season.

And this is the trade-off between evergreen and deciduous – stay green and power through or go dormant until next spring. On both sides of the coin, evergreen and deciduous plants

have had millions of years to adapt to our wintery weather, developing creative survival strategies. The rugged and evergreen rhododendron leaf has developed a waxy coating that protects from freezing temperatures and reduces water lost to winter weather.

Needled evergreens have minimized their leaf surface area curtailing water loss during sunny and windy winter days.

There are actually two types of dormancy, termed eco- and endo-dormancy. Eco-dormancy concerns those surrounding environmental conditions that send a plant into its resting state. Once conditions become favorable again, (i.e. warmer temperatures) the plant resumes growth.

Perennials often exhibit eco-dormancy. Endo-dormancy, common with woody trees and shrubs, is a much more complicated process as it deals with physiological changes within the plant.

What triggers these internal changes?

Researchers believe photoperiod, or day length, is the cause that sends plants into endo-dormancy.

Drought also plays a factor during the winter months, which is not necessarily dormancy but it does result in reduced

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL COURT GREENE COUNTY CARROLLTON, ILLINOIS

plant growth. Scientists have tied winter drought conditions to the discovery of increased abscisic acid (ABA) in dormant plant tissue.

ABA’s main function is to slow the growth in plants and inhibit seed germination. It is essentially an anti-growth hormone. At any time of year, increased levels of ABA in trees signal the onset of drought. Drought is most common of frozen soil during the coldest parts of winter.

Even at this juncture, there are still some unknowns surrounding dormancy.

We can at least say that plants have two methods for dormancy: stay evergreen and endure to spring or shed their leaves until the weather improves.

Which one is better? It really depends on the winter.

Stay warm!

Good Growing Tip of Week: While we may perceive plants as struggling to survive in the winter, the truth is most are perfectly adapted to tolerate our Midwestern climate. However, newly planted trees and shrubs may not be established and benefit from a 2- to 4-inch layer of mulch on the root system of the tree, never touching the trunk.

State education improving; more work lies ahead

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois A group that advocates for public education in Illinois released a report indicating the state has made some progress in improving educational outcomes over the past five years, but it still has a long way to go to achieve the goal of having 60 percent of all adults attaining some kind of college-level degree or certificate by 2025. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To achieve this goal, we must focus on the entire education continuum, birth through career, and work to ensure that all students are on track across the critical academic milestones that mark their road to postsecondary completion,â&#x20AC;? according to the report by Advance Illinois.

The report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re In 2019,â&#x20AC;? was released in mid-October. The group has since been traveling the state to discuss the significance of its findings on local communities.

The report examines how the state performed on a wide range of educational outcome measures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from kindergarten readiness to postsecondary completion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2018 and in most cases compares that with 2013.

It also shows how the state ranks with other states on those measures.

Perhaps the most troubling statistic in the report concerns kindergarten readiness, data for which became available only in 2018. According to the Illinois State Board of Education, only 26 percent of 5-year-old children in Illinois showed the social, emotional and academic skills needed to start kindergarten.

The report also indicated wide racial, ethnic and economic disparities in kindergarten readiness, which is largely attributable to the availability of early childhood education programs in different communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kindergarten readiness is critical,â&#x20AC;? the report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Performance gaps on key measures such as fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math begin to take root much earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most formative years. Kindergarten-ready students

have an 82 percent chance of being academically on track and mastering key skills by age 11. Children who are not kindergartenready have a 45 percent chance of reaching proficiency.â&#x20AC;?

In other areas, Illinois made slight improvement over the five-year period. For example, 35 percent of fourth-grade students in 2018 met or exceeded state standards for reading skills, a key indicator of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future risk of failing or dropping out of school. That was up one percentage point from 2013.

But there were fewer students demonstrating mastery of eighth-grade math skills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 32 percent in 2018, down from 36 percent in 2013.

Postsecondary enrollment among high school graduates rose during the period â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 53 percent in 2018 compared to 45 percent in 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the report also noted that enrollment is down across the board at Illinois public colleges and universities, an indication that students are leaving the state to attend college.

Finally, the report noted that 45 percent of Illinois adults had an associate degree or higher, up from 43 percent in 2013 but still far short of the goal of 60 percent by 2025.

Advance Illinois gave credit to the new Evidence-Based Funding formula the state adopted in 2017, which requires annual increases in K-12 education funding, with the bulk of that new money earmarked for the least well-funded districts.

But it also said inadequate funding remains an issue at all levels of public education, especially for low-income families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From preschool to postsecondary, lack of funding and affordability are critical barriers for low-income residents,â&#x20AC;? the report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is troubling because early education determines outcomes in later school years, and postsecondary attainment remains key to employment and a living wage. If we lose students early, we risk losing them entirely.

And if we fail to support postsecondary success, we damage the economic prospects of our students and our state.â&#x20AC;?

Carrollton honors veterans Both the Carrollton Grade School and High School presented Veteran’s Day programs to honor not only the local veterans but veterans all over the world – even those who gave the

ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Carrollton Grade School served the veterans a breakfast before leading into the program, which featured as guest speaker,

sixth grade teacher and Army veteran Kristin Siglock.

At the high school, 95-year-old World War II veteran Neil Gillingham was the guest

speaker. He regaled the audience with 40 minutes of stories from his time in the war.

Following the program, punch and cookies were served in the cafeteria.
