Roodhouse saves money by refinancing By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Roodhouse City Council is taking advantage of lower interest rates by refinancing two of its major loans at significantly lower rates With the exception of council member Charlie Huffines, who was absent from the meeting the rest of the council unanimously approved refinancing the VAC truck at an interest rate of 1.95 percent for four years. The new rate is less than half of the previous rate of 4.75 percent. The city hall will be refinanced at a rate of 3.99 percent for five years, down from a rate of 5.625 percent. The city still has 10 years left on the note and will have to refinance again in five years. “Suzanne Roundcount (bookkeeper) suggested we just keep making the same payment we are making now and knock a big chunk off

the balance,” Mayor Tom Martin said. “The difference can be applied to the principal and at the end of five years we can either refinance or pay it off.” Alderman Ralph Phillips asked that a $1,284 check to Bob’s Guns be pulled out of the stack of bills to be paid by omnibus vote. The bill was for three shotguns for police department squad cars. “This purchase did not go through the council or the committee,” Phillips said. “The police chief talked to Charlie (Huffines) and he said it was OK but it hasn’t gone through the police committee – just Charlie.” The council recently approved a motion allowing a department head to make a purchase of up to $500 without council authorization in an emergency situation. Phillips didn’t see the purchase of the three shotguns as an emergency situation. “My problem is that it is not going through

the committee like it is supposed to,” Phillips said. “The police committee chairman, which is Charlie, should have brought it to the workshop for discussion and then to the council for a vote.” When voted on separately, the motion to pay Bob’s Guns the $1,284 was approved with Phillips casting the sole No vote. The council is getting into the holiday spirit approving motions to make a $250 donation to help with the chili for Christmas in the Park and $300 for Santa candy and treats for Nov. 29 when Santa makes his annual visit. Alderman Garrett Rogers gave a report from the utility committee. City workers Terry Ross and Nathan Newingham filled the water tank to try to see where the city’s major water loss is coming from – within the city or out of town. “It appears the majority of the water is leaking from in town,” Rogers said. “At least

this is what this test found. Other than that, there is no real hard data on it.” Mayor Martin informed the council the cleanup on the square would begin by the end of the week. The city purchased the derelict property next to the Karma Klub, which was totaled in a fire earlier in the year. The insurance on the building paid for the demolition and the city was allowed a special rate by Ballard Bros. to take down the other building at the same time. “When they get it cleaned up they will fill it in with dirt and level it off,” Mayor Martin said. The council approved a motion to move the money in the water and sewer depreciation account in money market at UCB to the maintenance and operation checking in the water loan account. Martin said this was per a USDA request. (See, ROODHOUSE, A2)

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Residents of Greene County are reminded the Mobile Food Pantry will be held on Saturday, Dec. 7 starting at 10 a.m. at the Rt. 106 Auction house, located just outside of White Hall. Unlike local food pantries that are income-based, anyone, regardless of their age or income, can receive food from the mobile food pantry. “The only thing we require from someone coming to this mobile food pantry is the zip code where they live,” Richard Caskey said. “The only other information we take is how many children there are in your family or how many people over 65 live in the household so we can have a count of how many elderly and children we are feeding. This is the only requirement we have.” The mobile food pantries were organized in 2010 by the Central Illinois Foodbank located in Springfield. Mobile food pantries are designed to distribute a large amount of food in rural areas in a short amount of time. Central Illinois Foodbank partners with a host site to secure a parking lot and volunteers to assist in distribution. The foodbank utilizes the Mobile Food Pantry program to serve rural, under-served areas where distances between food pantries may be extreme. On average, the Mobile Food Pantry will distribute around 12,000 pounds of food in under two hours. Caskey and his wife, Judy, along with Dave and LuAnn Mansfield try to bring the mobile food pantry to the county at least every two months.

“What we do is tell the food pantry at Springfield that we are going to have a mobile pantry here in the county,” Caskey said. “They then send down a truck and we have no idea what is on that truck until it gets here and it gets unloaded.” Caskey said he is grateful for the help given from the local churches to keep the mobile pantry coming to Greene County. “Each time they send down a truck, we have to pay $1,100 for that truck of food to come here,” Caskey said. “Our churches, along with several individuals, have been very generous with donations to help keep it coming here. We try to have it here at least every other month because a lot of people have come to depend upon it.” Caskey said the last mobile food pantry was held in Whiteside Park where a total of 157 families amounting to 600 people were served. “The line was wrapped around the park all the way down to the police station,” Caskey said. “We don’t start until 10 a.m., but people get there earlier and earlier to make sure they get some of everything.” The food distributed at these pantries is comprised of food from retail stores and restaurants that they can’t sell, but is still good. “They used to have to toss this food into the dumpster,” Caskey said. “Now, thanks to this program and the volunteers who go around to pick up all this food, it can be given to those who are hungry. In 2012 it is estimated this program saved two million pounds of food from ending up in landfills.”

Carrollton School District highlights accomplishments By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox had a multitude of good news items to share with board members at the Nov. 18 school board meeting. Charles Helton IV was recognized for his outstanding cross country season. The eighth grader received All-State honors from the IESA as he placed 16th at the State meet on Oct. 19. “With over 207 runners, his placing 16th is quite an accomplishment,” Dr. Cox said. “We look forward to a lot more great things from him.” FFA members were in attendance to share information regarding their recent participation at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky. Olivia Schnettgoecke, Lauren Gray, Ashley Steinacher and Travis Smith reported on the leadership and collaboration skills they learned from their experience. They also informed the board about a fundraiser for the organization, which would support local causes. They are requesting approval from the board to host a donkey basketball game next spring. The combine chase fundraiser this spring where farmers were asked to donate grain, which was then sold to the local elevator raised more than $7,000 for the organization. Building principals were on hand to report on the recent Veteran’s Day programs held at both schools on Nov. 11. The grade school sponsored a breakfast for the veterans along with a slide show showing veterans of

past and present followed by a short program in the gym. According to Grade School Principal Lori Baez, 120 veterans and family members attended. The celebration then moved to the high school where Principal Leslee Frazier said a tremendous amount of support was shown for the district’s veterans. “The Civics Club puts on the program and they list every single veteran who has ever served in the military,” Frazier said. “This takes about 30 minutes and all of our students were very quiet and respectful the entire time and it was a very touching ceremony.” Prior to the 7 p.m. meeting, the district held a truth in taxation hearing to waive the limitation of administrative costs. “The Illinois School Code states that a school district’s budgeted administrative expenditures cannot increase more than five percent over their prior year’s actual administrative expenditures,” Dr. Cox said. “We had to hold this hearing because the budgeted FY14 expenditures show a 15 percent increase over the FY13 expenditures.” This information was determined during the annual auditing procedures and was presented with the annual financial report in September. “The increased expenditures were a result of contractual obligations regarding unused vacation days of the former superintendent of the district,” Dr. Cox said. “This additional expense is a one time expense and not an annual occurrence.” Dr. Cox presented information

Three charged with burglary By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Three men have been arrested on burglary charges in two separate incidents by two different departments. Thomas C. Williams, 44, of Alton was arrested by the Greene County Sheriff’s Department on Nov. 13 and charged with two counts of burglary. According to court documents filed on Nov. 15, Williams allegedly entered a Kane building owned by Francis A. Grafford and a building on Rural Route 3 in Carrollton owned by Kim B. Postelwait with the intent to commit theft. According to booking reports from the Greene County Sheriff’s

Department, that same afternoon, Samuel A. Tackett, 18, who is listed as homeless, and Troy E. Brincks, 20, of Carrollton, were also booked into the Greene County Jail on charges of Burglary and Theft over $500. They were arrested by the Carrollton Police Department. Court documents say both men entered the IGA Store in Carrollton on Nov. 13 with the intent to commit a theft. The theft charge states the two allegedly exerted unauthorized control of bottles of liquor and packs of cigarettes owned by IGA. Both Tackett and Brincks were housed in Greene County Jail until charges were filed on Nov. 21. Bond was set at $10,000 on both men and they, along with Williams, remain in Greene County Jail.

Roodhouse PD active during October By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison presented a detailed report to the city council at the Nov. 20 regular city council meeting. “Over the past month, my department has been busy,” Chief Robison said. “We have seen an increase in certain types of calls, and in particular, vehicle thefts around town.” He said vehicle thefts are a crime of opportunity when the doors are left unlocked. “However, I have explained the need to night patrolmen as to why we should mix up our patrol habits, tactics and patterns of travel,” Chief Robison said. “I have explained the need to continue security checks to night patrolmen and they are out checking the buildings on a regular basis. As we move toward the holiday season, money can be tight. I have explained the need for officers to take a proactive approach and how to look for indicators that may prevent future crimes.” The police department handled 299 calls for service during the month of October with officers making 68 traffic stops resulting in 55 warnings and 13 citations. A total of 15 arrests were made with offenses including, but not limited to, the following: aggravated battery, warrant arrests, theft, criminal defacement to property, suspended registration, possession of drug paraphernalia,

(Continued from A1) Council members approved an ordinance, amending the nuisance ordinance adding a section for tire storage. The purpose of the ordinance is to protect the public health and welfare by declaring improperly stored tires as a public nuisance and a significant health hazard. Tires capable of accumulating water, not stacked, packaged, boxed, containerized or enclosed, provide an optimal breeding ground for mosquitoes which promote the spread of the West Nile Virus, encephalitis and also provide a habitat for pests. Should a homeowner receive an ordinance violation regarding such a nuisance, they will have 10 days to remove the nuisance or face a fine of

possession of cannabis and domestic battery. Robison also informed the council on an update on city ordinance violations. “We, as a department, are shifting toward taking care of the most neglected properties in town,” Robison said. “For example, the residence on West Clay – I have recently spoken to the owner in an effort to explain the issues at hand versus the typical notice letter. We are working with her to clean up the property in an effort to maintain compliance with city code.” The department has issued several derelict vehicle notices recently. “I have had good feedback and several of those vehicles have been removed,” Robison said. “Only one has not responded or taken any action to resolve the problem. A final notice will be issued and then the vehicle will be removed.” The police department handed out candy to the children during the trick or treat night. Christmas in the Park is coming up very soon along with the Santa Train. “I am currently coordinating the public safety side of things for these events,” Robison said. “I anticipate the event going over well and I will be allowing extra coverage for a few hours during the event for the obvious reasons.” In an effort to reduce expenditures, Chief Robison said he has cancelled the street shift until the spring.

up to $25 per day per tire until it is cleaned up. A motion to purchase the block building behind city hall at a cost of $11,000 from Mike McCartney for storage was tabled until the January meeting. In other action, the council: n Approved a resolution to adopt an annual 1,000 hour standard for IMRF participation. n Approved a motion to change insurance date coverage for new full time hires to 90 days to match the union contract. n Approved sending Everett Schofield to Washington D.C. for APPA meeting. n Approved purchase of liability insurance through Matt Gazda Agency.

for the 2013 tax levy payable to the district for FY 2014-15. The school district levies for total dollar amounts needed to operate the educational programs, maintain building and grounds and provide transportation to students. The district uses the dollar amounts needed along with tentative information on current Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) and new construction in the district to determine the levy amounts. “We are a tax-capped school district and this limits the increase in property tax extension to five percent of the EAV or the Consumer Price Index which is currently at 1.7 percent,” Dr. Cox said. “Because of PTELL, we cannot maximize the allowable tax rates thus leaving money on the table each year for our district. Due to the nature of this issue, it is necessary that the district balloon levy to capture all entitled tax monies for the district.” The projected EAV as of Oct. 31 is about $57.5 million dollars and the projected new construction in the district is similar to that of 2012. Combining this information indicates an estimate of 5.3 percent increase in EAV over 2012 which is very similar to the increase from 2011 to 2012. “This percentage can be misleading and is generally misunderstood; this percentage is not how much tax rates will increase,” Dr. Cox said. “Within Greene County we are the only school district subject to tax caps as we are the sole district that lies completely within the boundaries of the county.” The District Crisis/Emergency Plan was presented by Andy Stumpf who led the district team.

Only minor changes were made to the plan from last year and additional training is planned for all staff members. “We are appreciative of our local law enforcement and emergency services agencies for their feedback, collaboration and support in providing a safe learning environment for our students and staff members,” Dr. Cox said. The board approved a donation of two Apple iPads to the Carrollton Grade School by the Garrett Cox family and friends and the Eldred Sons of the American Legion. “This equipment is greatly appreciated by the school district for use in the middle school special education classroom,” Dr. Cox said. “We are all thankful for the donation and the outstanding support of our schools within the community.” The district was informed from the ISBE that Carrollton Grade School has been selected to field test some of the upcoming PARCC assessments this spring. These are the state assessments that will replace the ISAT in 2016. In other action, the board approved: n Resignation of Tim Brannan as volunteer head 5th and 6th grade boys basketball coach. n Jim Cox as volunteer head 5th and 6th grade boys basketball coach. n Job description for the district school nurse. n Salary and benefit statements for the following exempt employees: Becky Howard, Whitney Marshall, Jack Staples, Andy Thomas and Nancy Waters.

Births

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

A few of my favorite things: Sledding down Fleur de lis hill before the steps. Hanging a Christmas star necklace around Carol Mann Jones (3) at the Greenfield Presbyterian Church program. Holding my baby boy Clifton Dale Hammon Dec. 18, 1957. Nurse Ursch put Clifton into his father’s arms Christmas day; my aunt Effie Love rode with Santa Claus from White Hall. She had an earring tree for me. Mother and dad made candy for the doctors and nurses. My sister Mel brought my gifts to me, I was in Boyd Hospital. The skating kids came from Lyric Roller Rink and came inside for a peek when we returned home. Barb Armold sent “Hoss” over each p.m. to keep Dale company while he filled the SMA formula. On TV they are playing “Toyland” - it is Nov. 7, 2013. A rap at my door - Rhonda Melvin Walker with my beautiful lime green glass rectangular container with all colors of roses, lilies and mums. The ribbon was scotch plaid! As the card stated Richard, Jeanie and Melba, I called Colorado kin and gave my thanks. Barb Kahl and I had a good time singing all of the birthday songs that we have memorized through the years. She told me of a piano she bought for $5 - one big problem; the middle C octave was dead. The problem was solved when she took it apart and discovered a pencil. Ella Mae Foster telephoned me recently. She and her late husband, Dee lived here for forty years. Both were active workers of the Greenfield Lions Club. This fine couple reared their family here in town. Their home was south of Richard Winters. I imagine his mother, Ruth Ewing Winters lived there. I believe Harry and Mary Nichols sold their home to the Fosters. When our riding horse, Daisy stood all day in her stall it troubled me. I didn’t realize that horses slept standing. It is a scientific fact that the eyes of an adult horse are the same size as when a colt. It was 29 degrees at 8 a.m. this morning. Jack Frost had painted rooftops. My parents had a neighbor lad who visited each a.m. saying, “Miss Love, Jack Frost is out there. I’ve got my long underwear on, but my stockings won’t stay put.” Mother had black elastic from Bud and Zoe Robison’s Country Store. She made him old-fashioned garters. He learned to tell time from a green wind-up alarm clock - he could stay 30 minutes. He came again with a dollar bill and thanked again. Mother sent the dollar and ended up making garters for the

mother and grandma. Most of these people are playing harps in heaven! My wool trousers and sweater feel great today. Yes, my nifty furnace is set on 78. Before our son Clifton Dale was born, Dale and I had selected the name John Aaron. When the nurses brought him to me the name didn’t seem to be correct for him. They had dressed him in ragged garments from the hospital - also cloth diaper. I had new Carter clothes. The nurses tried to discourage my actions with Dr. deQuevado won’t like this.” I laughed and told them that I was doctor’s first patient in Greenfield and I remembered that he and Irma enjoyed dressing their children nicely and shared with neighbors. Doris Lynn Coonrod Cunningham was born that week and so was Sherry Walker Kinser. One p.m. a nurse carried a crying baby into my room insisting that I nurse my baby. I knew the sound of Clifton’s cry and he was being fed by bottle. I told her to peek inside the diaper and when she did she saw the evidence of a baby girl. Someone had switched identification bracelets and that is the way this could happen in this day and age. The first time Dale and I went out was Thanksgiving of 1940. He went to my parent’s house and of all things asked my parents if he could take me to the Lyric Theater. Come to think of it, every fella that I’d gone out with did the same thing, so perhaps that was etiquette. Dad always said, “Sure.” Mother was more diplomatic saying, “You’ll have to ask her.” She invited Dale to eat Thanksgiving leftovers with us and he did. Belated Happy Birthday to Larry Woodkirk, Nov. 9, 1940. A surprise Birthday Luncheon Party for me? Debbie provided the food. Beth Fields (daughter) carried the gift - hand-dipped chocolate nougats in an orange and gold package. Hannah Fields of Palmyra and Logan Fields of Jerseyville said, “Happy Birthday!” On my TV Channel 073, they were singing “Jingle ells” so we all joined in with carols. Beth and her little niece and nephew walked uptown in the sunshine to “Bent Fork” for sodas. They call me great-grandma Mary. Isn’t that the cat’s pajamas? Clifton called my twice with Happy Birthday. He and Shirley are having a sleep over in Joliet. My three great-grandchildren, Ayden, Addisson and Averice expressed their joy as did Jer, Brooke and Shirley. Surprise telephone call from a White Hall friend Katharine Taylor.

Carrollton, Illinois

She was 90 last September. A belated Happy Birthday. When Dusty and I were first married one of our neighbor was Mr. Ray Haven; his wife worked at a hospital in Alton. They were the parents of Bruce Haven who was in the Merchant Marines. Mr. Ray sat Bruce’s pet cat in front of a big picture of Bruce. The cat would put a paw on the picture, make a contented sound and go to sleep. When Bruce called me to say “Happy Birthday” in the course of our conversation, I asked him if he had a pet he replied, “I sure do, a big cat and believe me we are buddies.” The Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song, he also has become my salvation. Isaiah 12: 2 ‘Til next time!

Eldred Baptist Church news

As reported by Mary Eustace Give thanks to the Lord of Lords:......Psalm 136:3. Our Pastor Don opened our service in prayer reading Psalm 107:1-32 “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” A warm welcome from our church family to all of you. We would like to invite you to our Sunday Services. Our service today Nov. 24 included music from our choir, a guest appearance from Danny McPherson; ventriloquist with his buddy Seth. After a couple of songs Dylan McPherson joined in to sing with his Dad, music ended with Robert McPherson singing along with his brother. Thank you for this special presentation. We are blessed with wonderful news for our church. Don Carpenter has accepted the position of interim Pastor. We welcome his wife Angie and their two children Faith & Cole. He thanked our congregation for allowing him and his wife, Angie to serve at Eldred and we were all so blessed. Our message today was on Luke 18:9-14 . “Thankful for what?” As you read the scripture, you will see that there are two different prayers of thanksgiving. The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

The Pharisee prayer was selfcentered and the Tax Collector was centered on God. As we read, we find as a reminder that we have a All-Merciful God. So the Tax Collector was thankful for God’s mercy and how God forgives us our sins. The Tax Collector was humbled by God’s holiness and very thankful for God’s mercy. What will you be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day? God continues to bless us all. Our church serves a supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. Our Sunday services include Sunday school at 9 a.m. and regular services at 10 a.m. Our services are always open, please come and join us. Be Jesus to everyone you meet sincerely and His love will shine through you. If you need spiritual service or counsel, please don’t hesitate to contact our church. You may reach Pastor Don at (618) 751-0007. Our Eldred Baptist church phone number is (217) 983-2841. Praying for a blessed Thanksgiving to each and everyone.

Hillview Baptist Church news Bro. Jason Holliman, Pastor Alice Ford, reporter Announcements: Our next movie night will be Sat. Dec. 14 at 6:30 p.m. We will show the movie “Christmas with a capital ‘C’. Christmas goodies will be served at 5:30 p.m. before the movie. Everyone Welcome. Our next day at the nursing home in White Hall will be Dec. 15 at 2:30 p.m. Specials: Cameron Hurt and Geri Stewart both sang solos. Message: From Romans 5. God works in His knowledge and His time. The world is trying to push God out of our lives. Christ died for you. He loves you. He wants

a personal relationship with us. Jesus is the only one who can bring true peace. We have been anointed by the Holy Spirit when we accept Him. We are to bear witness to Jesus Christ. We are to declare the truth. Without repentance there is no remission of sins. We should not be ashamed of Jesus Christ. The only way to peace is through Him. We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and will remember that without Jesus we could not enjoy all the blessings we have. Hope to see you in church next Sunday.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor Walkerville Baptist Church What a cold day. Low was 19 and the wind was really cold. No one wanted out very long. Well the deer that survived the weekend were glad it was too cold for most of the hunters. There were a lot of happy hunters, ask Zach and Lindsey. They were among them. It was our Thanksgiving dinner here at church and we had a real good group. People from as far as Kansas were here. It was so good to have them back even if for a little while. Some of our church families from Jacksonville were with us and Alton. So good to be back home I am sure. The church families that didn’t make it were missed and it was a good surprise to see our friends from Patterson. The message was in Matthew 6: 27. Anxiety is a problem we all have at times. God says, but be anxious about nothing. He is in control. Worry does not take away tomorrow’s troubles it takes away today’s peace. Yesterday is gone, today is a present and tomorrow is a gift. Enjoy every day as if it were the last one we never know. Our prayer list is Patty Baldes (we missed you so Patty, but I know you will soon be up again), Ray Baldes, Melanie Mast, Betty Newman, Bobby Hurts, Bonny Hardwick, Robert Hardwick, Billy Schulbottum, Debbie Sprong, Garner family. Be thankful for everything you have, it can all be taken away in an instant. The question for this week is still, “How long did it take to write the bible? Already we didn’t have any answers. Let’s see just how many answers we can have. The answer is somewhere in the computer. We want to thank everyone who helped with the dinner and came to make it a good fellowship. Our prayers are with the Harold Walker family. The Walker family ancestors are related to the founders of Walkerville back in 1835. Our prayers are with them. When you

pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them. When you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. May you all have a blessed and thankful Thanksgiving. Remember to thank the one who had made all things possible. We hope to see you all back again next Sunday. If you can’t be here, just pray for us. We had an unwanted visitor Sunday in church and it nearly scared Chloe to death. The mice think they are invited too, but never fear, little creatures soon disappear. So girls keep calm it was cold outside. See you all in church Sunday, where it is good and warm.

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting.” Matthew 6: 16

There are lots of good reasons to limit our intake of food, ranging from health and financial reasons to emotional and spiritual benefits. An ancient idea that has recently gained traction is the practice of fasting. Instead of trying to limit one’s calories each and every day, some scientists are proposing the idea of Alternate-Day Fasting or ADF. ADF regimens typically allow the person (or animal, lots of experiments have been done using rats and mice) to eat whatever he or she wants one day and then requires them to fast or consume a very limited number of calories the next day. More research needs to be done, but preliminary findings are promising, suggesting that ADF may reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Some are even suggesting we could live longer if we followed an ADF regimen. But, how might such a regimen benefit us emotionally and spiritually? Fasting and self-mortification can obviously be taken to extremes where they become unhealthy and even life-threatening. But, most of us suffer from the opposite problem: we are too self-indulgent. Delayed gratification and a sense of accomplishment is one of the byproducts of a successful fast. Eating can bring momentary pleasure but controlling one’s appetites gives a deeper sense of lasting joy.

Carrollton, Illinois

Greene County native Josh Evans to run for State Representative seat By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A Greene County native has officially thrown his hat into the political ring with the announcement on Friday, Nov. 22 he will run for the State House of Representatives in the 100th District. Josh Evans, a 2005 graduate of Carrollton High School, made the announcement he would be running on the Democratic ticket in the March primary and hopes to eventually unseat C.D. Davidsmeyer, who was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Jim Watson. Evans, 26, is the son of Junior and Cathy Evans of Carrollton. He and his wife, Ashley, reside in Jerseyville. Evans is not new to public service. He enlisted in the military at the age of 17 and served two tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan before pursuing a law degree. “I was in the military and I love public service and I think this would be a great chance for me to continue that public service that I started in the military,” Evans said. “However, my biggest reason for running for this seat is because we need someone who is going to fight for this area.” For Evans, it’s all about choice. “In this district it has been so long since we have had a race for the state representative,” he said. “When you don’t have a race you have no democracy.” Evans will have his law degree by the time the November election rolls around and he plans to use this knowledge to help the district. “I think I have something to offer the district due to the fact that I do have the legal knowledge that I can

apply,” Evans said. “I think the party is excited to have a guy like me with some new ideas, and I do have some ideas to move both this district and the state forward.” Like many of those around him, Evans is very concerned about the economic status of Illinois and he has developed two platforms to address this issue. Changing the way state agencies are funded is one way to combat the overspending in the state. “This legislation would make state agencies own their budget and make them want to save money so they will get a bigger budget next year,” Evans said. “Through this policy, we can substantially pay down our unfunded liabilities and train agencies to be more scrupulous with their spending.” He has also developed a plan to address the pension issue which protects the public employees and will help balance the budget. “The legislation I propose creates a four-tiered system for public employees,” Evans said. “Those who are retired or soon will retire will see no changes to their pensions. Those who are just now entering the pension system will go in with their eyes wide open and know what they are going to get from day one.” New public employees will see changes, but these changes will be offset by private investment which will keep the state’s burden down toward funding these pensions. “We shift some of that liability from the state to a private pension or private investment strategy,” Evans said. “This four-tier system is going to give people a choice.” Having been raised on the family farm just outside of Carrollton,

Evans learned early on the value of hard work and what it means to grow up in an agriculture community. s. “I feel the best way to ensure the prosperity of farm families is to roll back senseless regulation that has impeded the progress of the family farmers,” he said. “Many of these regulations were intended for larger corporations and are now being selectively enforced against farmers.” Evans feels these farm families need an advocate in Springfield and he has both the background and the desire to be that person. “Farmer’s don’t just need anyone – they need someone who comes from a farm family and understands the unique challenges farmers face,” he said. “I want to represent the people of this district and I want to be a fighter for each and every one of the people in this district.” For more information on his platforms and ideas, visit his website: joshevansforrep.com.

Schwartz announcing candidacy for ROE 40 superintendent David Schwartz is announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination of the Regional Superintendent of Schools for Calhoun, Greene, Jersey and Macoupin counties (ROE #40). Schwartz was born and raised in Macoupin County and has been a public educator for 17 years. Schwartz’s leadership experiences range from president of the Macoupin County Federation of Teachers to the Southwestern Region State Director for the Illinois Principals Association. Schwartz holds Masters and Specialists Degrees with teaching and administrative certification, along with the Superintendent’s Endorsement. Schwartz brings expertise in technology implementation, achievement gap education, curriculum implementation and supports, school improvement practices, grant administration and operating an alternative classroom for middle-level students. David and his wife, Elise, an elementary principal and Gillespie native, are familiar with the challenges and rewards in pubic education. They realize the importance of vocational education, both having parents operating family farms. Schwartz’s

mother, Judy, school board president in Carlinville in the ‘80s, and his father, Dennis, as Associate Judge in Macoupin County for 26 years, taught him the characteristics necessary to be in public service. As the regional superintendent, David will seek to increase web-based services to households and instill qualities of good citizenship with the goal of keeping graduates in their hometowns. He believes the office of regional superintendent must provide timely, high-quality professional development services to region districts. Examples include training for implementing purposeful instruction aligned to the Common Core State Standards, advising districts how to best administer web-based assessments, and recommending streamlined options for teacher and administrator evaluations. Schwartz currently serves as a classroom teacher in the Alton School District and resides in Carlinville where he is active as a youth sports coach, member of the Federated Church, and an advocate for his community. Campaign planning is underway. For more information call Larry Smith at (217) 854-8420.

Conservation police remind hunters of deer stand safety

By BOB CROSSEN Greene Prairie Press Illinois Department of Natural Resources encourages hunters to follow safety procedures not necessarily dedicated to the use of weapons throughout the season, but also other hunting equipment. Sgt. Mark Wagner, conservation police officer, said the region’s most frequent accidents involve hunters falling from tree stands when they begin hunting each year. “Tree stand accidents are by far our most common type of accident that we have,” Wagner said. “I think we’ve had one we know of in Calhoun County, an archery accident where somebody fell and was injured.” Some hunters leave their tree stands attached to the trees yearround, which can create safety hazards as trees expand and contract with the change of the seasons. Wagner said the straps of a tree

stand also suffer wear and tear throughout the year due to fluctuations in the weather, noting hunters should swap the straps out more often if they intend to leave the stand up all year. Sgt. Wagner said there were three incidents involving tree stand accidents in his area during the first firearm deer hunting season Nov. 22 through Nov. 24. He said two of the accidents occurred in Macoupin County where he said one of the tree stands was self-made. He said the material used to make the tree stand had deteriorated, making it unstable and unfit for use. He said the individual did suffer an injury from the stand’s collapse. “All the timber was rotten, and he fell and broke his leg,” Wagner said. Regarding an accident in Greene County, he said the strap of a tree stand broke. The individual was taken to the hospital, but suffered

only minor injuries from the fall. Wagner said because the individual was taken to the hospital, conservation police had to investigate the case. He said hunters can take proactive measures to ensure their safety in the tree stands. “Replace the straps on their tree stands if they’re going to leave them out year-round,” Wagner said. “The one was homemade and it was very evident that all the boards were rotten and should have been replaced or rebuilt. The other ones, the straps, they left the tree stand hanging there for several years and the straps rotted, so when they climbed up and put some pressure on it, the straps broke. “You need to, one, take your stand down every year, or two, replace the straps.” Wagner said there have been violations regarding permits but aren’t out of the ordinary, and issues regarding sick deer are not

as prevalent as last year when epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) led to the death or more than 2,000 deer throughout the state. The virus generated a high fever in the deer population, causing them to flock to rivers and other bodies of water where they are often found dead due to bursting capillaries in their organs as a result of the high fever. The prevalence of those diseases have diminished greatly this year as there was not a severe drought, Wagner said. “Last year, because of the drought, that really pushed our numbers up through the roof,” Wagner said. The next firearm deer hunting season is Dec. 5 through Dec. 8, which also coincides with the first muzzleloader deer season.

Kids Invite Someone Special During the PTO book fair at Greenfield Elementary on Wednesday, Nov. 20, a K.I.S.S. event was held. K.I.S.S stands for Kids Invite Someone Special. Students invited someone special to have lunch with them and then shop at the book fair. This was the first year the event was held and was a huge success. The school is always looking for ways to increase the community involvement in their school and encourage the students to read. The K.I.S.S event allowed them to promote both goals.

ISP emphasize safety during Greenfield Library Board upcoming holiday season News Saturation patrols being utilized Captain Parsons, Illinois State Police District 18 Commander, recently announced that District 18 troopers are gearing up for the Thanksgiving holiday travel period. Captain Parsons expects high traffic volumes on interstates and roads throughout the district during the Thanksgiving holiday. Traditionally, the Thanksgiving holiday marks the beginning of the busy holiday driving period. The National Safety Council (NSC) recently released its estimates of fatalities from traffic crashes for the 2013 Thanksgiving holiday period. The Council estimates 436 traffic fatalities and another 46,600 injuries may occur from motor vehicle collisions during this busy holi-

day. In anticipation, Illinois State Police District 18 troopers will be implementing saturation patrols to enforce the ISP’s Fatal Four mission: Speeding, Seatbelts, DUI and Distracted Driving. Motorists who consume alcohol should consider an alternative means of transportation. A DUI arrest can cost thousands of dollars in attorney fees, court costs, insurance fees, fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal history record. Weather conditions can also be a factor, and Illinois State Police urge motorists and out-of-state visitors to plan ahead, follow the rules of the road, and take the necessary safety precautions during this holiday driving season.

Carrollton, Illinois

the Gift Annual Carlinville Christmas Market Give Carlinville to celebrate 24 years next weekend of History this Like Santa’s elves, the Carlinville Christmas Market Foundation board of directors is busy most of the year, making . . . not toys but plans for the Christmas Market holiday weekend. And those plans are coming together once again for another family-fun celebration of the holiday season on Carlinville’s historic town square. The Market has been a central Illinois tradition since 1990. Kami Stayton, CCMF president, confirmed that the 2013 Christmas Market, which runs from 3 p.m. on Friday, December 6 through 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 8, will include the favorites that have enticed visitors to return year after year, as well as some new attractions that help keep the Market fresh. The theme for this year is “Candy Land.” “One of the biggest draws is always the visiting vendors in the big, white tent,” Stayton explained. “Right now we have 53 signed up, 14 of them new to the festival. We expect we’ll

add some more between now and the start of the Market. And there will be one big T-shaped tent running the length of the first block on East Main again. That format worked well last year. Admission to the tent is $2 per person. “Another really big draw is our own collection of Carlinville shops on the square – gifts, collectibles, jewelry, clothes, antiques, and flowers, among others. Of course, as far as the little kids are concerned, the best thing about Christmas Market is not the shopping but their chance to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus and visit with Santa.” “We’ll also have the narrated trolley tour of Carlinville landmarks and our horse-drawn carriage rides again,” Stayton added. “They’re just a dollar each. Some of our other popular attractions are Professor Longhair for the kids, Hiroshi Tada the top spinner, and Chip Off the Old Block ice sculptors.” New this year, according to Stayton, will be the Candy Cane Café in the Knights of

Columbus Hall on the north side of the square. For the first time, a number of Carlinville shops that are off the square will now have their own booths inside the Café, thus broadening shoppers’ opportunities to find the gifts and goods they are looking for. The Candy Cane Café also will house some food vendors and feature games and face painting for the children. The Knights of Columbus Hall is next to the Carlinville Chamber of Commerce office, which will be Market headquarters during the festival again this year. Also new for 2013, Carlinville area Cub Scouts will be selling holiday greenery outside the main entrance of the visiting vendor tent. More details about the 2013 Christmas Market will be available as the CCMF board’s arrangements are solidified. Call 217-473-9048 with questions. Or visit www. CarlinvilleChristmasMarket. com for updated news and information about the festival’s origin, history, and purpose.

Holiday spending season by the numbers The holiday season is significant for a variety of reasons. In addition to its religious significance, the holiday season is when many retailers enjoy their greatest successes. To understand just how much business Christmas and Chanukah can bring in, consider the following figures. 20: The percentage of annual sales jewelry stores indicate are made during the month of December. 150,205: The number of clothing and accessories stores open in the United States as of 2009. 27.2: The amount, in billions of dollars, spent during the December 2010 holiday retail season. 983: The amount, in millions, of Christmas tree ornaments imported from China between January and September 2011. 34.87: The average cost of real Christmas trees as of 2011, Artificial trees sell for an average of $70.55. 4.0: The percentage the National Retail Federation expects retail sales to increase this year. 2012: The year when holiday retail sales were the weakest since 2008. According MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, sales in the last two months of 2012 increased by just 0.7 percent from the previous year. Some financial analysts blamed Hurricane Sandy, an epic storm that caused billions of dollars in damage along the eastern coast of the United States, for the small increase in consumer spending.

Did you know? Christmas Day has become a big day in the movie business. Many studios now release bigbudget films on December 25th, and audiences have recently flocked to the theaters to see some of their favorite stars in films that opened on Christmas Day or shortly before. "Avatar," the 2009 James Cameron film that would go on to gross $760 million in domestic receipts alone, holds the distinction of earning the second most money on Christmas Day, when it earned a little more than $23 million despite having already been out in the theaters one full week. A pair of 2012 films, the latest big screenadaptation of "Les Miserables" ($18 million) and Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" ($15 million), round out the top five highest grossing films on Christmas Day. Numerous films are slated to open on December 25, 2013, including Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," starring Chris Pine and Kevin Costner.

24: The percentage of U.S. retail sales made by only the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states. 8.4: The percentage growth of online sales from 2011 to 2012. Online sales generally make up about 10 percent of total holiday business. 70: The number, in millions, of poinsettia plants sold in the United States each year.

107,000: The projected cost, adjusted for inflation, of all of the gifts in "The Twelve Days of Christmas." 74: The percentage of adults who say the female head of the household is most likely to wrap all of the family's gifts. 3: The number of years a storebought Christmas fruit cake can be kept fresh if it is refrigerated.

Holiday Season

Join Local Author Louise Jett at Several Upcoming Book Signings Local author Louise Jett has made it possible to give the gift of Carlinville history this Christmas with the publication of her new book, “Images of America: Carlinville.” “Those interested can learn about Carlinville history while supporting local businesses,” Jett said. “Not only will I be signing books, but I will also have some unpublished images to share with readers.” The Sly Fox Book Store, which is located on the Virden Square, will host a book signing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 30, during Small Business Saturday. Jett will also be selling and signing books at the Carlinville Christmas Market during the first weekend of December. She will be at the Macoupin County Historical Society Museum Friday, Dec. 6, and Sunday, Dec. 8, and at the Macoupin County Courthouse Saturday, Dec. 7, where she will be also giving tours. “Images of America: Carlinville” features 212 photographs from the Macoupin County Historical Society and Carlinville Public Library archives and ten chapters with introductions. Half of the royalties from “Images of America: Carlinville” will be donated to the MCHS. “Carlinville has such a rich, unique history,” Jett said. “Our community really deserves a book like this. It is my hope that my book helps keep local history alive for many years to come.” For more information on the book, please call Jett at (217) 556-1731 or visit www.facebook.com/carlinvillebook.

that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more. n Take advantage of opportunities to spend time with Santa. Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters' email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season. n Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa's job is to bring presents to the world's children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family. Schedule a day when you can distribute gifts at a senior center or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving.

He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And Ilaughed when I saw him in spite of myself. - "A Visit From St. Nicholas" Christmas just wouldn't be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation. Children may become more skeptical of Santa around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year. n Keep the magic flowing. Children who believe in Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug.

SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press The North Greene Spartans are eyeing defense of their 2012-13 Western Illinois Valley Conference championship, but a tough road — including Carrollton and Greenfield-Northwestern squads intent on improvement — awaits as the onset of Greene County's 2013-14 boys basketball season approaches. "We're excited, ready to go and working extremely hard," North Greene head coach Brett Berry said. "We've got some veteran leadership and we've got some inexperienced guys with a lot of talent." The Spartans' top returners this season include the team's two seniors, point guard Adam Knox and 6-foot-3 forward Reed Rusten. "[Rusten is] looking forward to having a big senior year. His ball handling's getting better and we're able to slide him inside and out to get him more touches," Berry said. "We've got an excellent point guard in Adam Knox who knows how to control the game and run the floor. He kind of keeps things moving." A deep junior class will help the Spartans replace their losses from last season. Sharpshooter Connor Vincent was one of the five role players that saw significant time as a sophomore. "We've got good shooters and good speed," Berry said. "We'll open the floor up, use our speed to try to get out a little on the break and use the good guard play to open up our inside shots." The Spartans open their new season aagainst Pleasant Hill at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in White Hall. The team North Greene beat to clinch its WIVC title last year — Greenfield-NW — wants to find itself right back in the thick of the

championhip race again this season. "We know the conference is going to be extremely tough again, but hopefully our guys will be ready for the challenge," head coach joe Pembrook said. The Tigers bring back three starting guards from last year's team in seniors Isaac Masters and Dakota Coffey and junior Austin Plogger. Senior Patrick McWhorter was the sixth man last season and will look to contribute at forward, where the Tigers are relatively inexperienced. Of the four players GreenfieldNW lost to graduation since last year, three were 6 feet or taller. "We're going to be a little bit inexperienced on the interior and that's something we're going to have to create depth for, but the kids have been working hard," Pembrook said. The Tigers tip off their 2013-14 campaign against Bunker Hill at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday in Greenfield. The Carrollton Hawks return six of their top-seven players from last season's team this year, including top junior point guard Luke Palan. "He's got a lot of experience and it all starts with him, but our other guards are all very capable," head coach Jeff Krumwiede said. "At times, we'll have three or four very good shooters on the floor." Quality depth returning at the guard position includes Jacob Smith, Cole Brannan and Luke Gillingham, while Ethan Frye and Cody Leonard give the Hawks experienced inside threats. Finding players to contribute past that first six will be Carrollton's priority in the early season. "Having six of our top-seven back gives us hope," Krumwiede said. "But we have a lot of question marks after that six." The Hawks open their 2013-14 season at 7:45 p.m. Saturday against Franklin in Carrollton. selliott@campbellpublications.net

GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Lady Hawks hit 3-0 The Carrollton High School girls basketball team remained unbeaten through the young season after doubling up Bunker Hill 48-24 Tuesday in Carrollton. The Lady Hawks (3-0) limited Bunker Hill to just three points in the first quarter and led 19-13 at halftime before outscoring the Minutemaids

29-11 in the second half. Three Carrollton starters reached double-digit scoring, led by junior McKenzie Ruyle's 12 points. Senior Patsy Coonrod scored 11 points and Rachel Williams added 10 for the Lady Hawks, who continue their season against Pittsfield at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at home.
