‘Christmas Wish’

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

A

Carrollton family is sleeping in a warm, safe house tonight thanks to the WYMG Christmas Wish program and Henson Robinson Company of Springfield who installed a b r a n d new furnace in their home Tuesday afternoon.

Justin Tittsworth, 35, his wife Kinsey, and their five children, ages 16, 11, 10, 4 and 1, were using space heaters to heat their Sixth Street home after their old diesel furnace went out. They were nominated for the Springfield radio station’s program by Kristie Schnelten.

The family is going through financial struggles.

Justin has been unable to work since August after he began having seizures, which doctors haven’t found a cause for.

Justin is a carpenter by trade and was employed by Heat and Frost Insulators of St. Louis as a commercial insulator. “I had a seizure at work, and they took me to the hospital, and I have been off work ever since because they can’t find out what is going on with me,� he said.

Adding insult to injury, when cold weather hit, Tittsworth found his furnace was not working. “At first, it was working, but it was blowing out smoke, and I didn’t like that at all,� he said. “Shortly after that, it quit working all together. I tried to fix it, but couldn’t. So, we started using space heaters to try to keep warm.�

Candidates set for March primary

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Monday, Dec. 2 , is the last day to file nominating petitions to run for office in the March primary, and the big race in Greene County appears to be for that of Circuit Judge.

Greene County Circuit Court Judges James Day announced earlier this year that he would not seek another term in office after 30 years on the bench.

Three candidates immediately filed to run for the position.

Matt Goetten and Elliott Turpin on the Democratic ticket and Zachary Schmidt on the Republican ticket. At the 13th hour, Jerseyville attorney and Eldred resident John W. Guntren, filed his papers to also run on the Republican ticket making for a contested race in the March primary.

Incumbent Republicans Caleb Briscoe and Shirley Thornton are running unopposed for the offices of States Attorney and Circuit Clerk, respectively and Danny Powell is running unopposed for a second term as Greene County Coroner on the Democratic ticket.

At the County Board level, four candidates are seeking the four two-year terms that are up. They are: Democratic incumbent Joyce Clark of Carrollton and Republican incumbent Mark Strang of White Hall, along with Christie Ford and Earlene Castleberry, both of Rockbridge, on the Republican ticket.

Board members Michael McNear and Randy Custer did not seek re-election.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Second chances are available in deer hunting as in life My deer season has not been anything to write home about.

One buck in Kentucky that never gave me a chance to draw on, and one buck in Missouri that I shot and never found, is all I can tell you about. But if you don’t know, the best season is coming up.

It’s the second rut. Don’t tell anybody.

Yes, the second rut! It is maybe the best deer-hunting secret I know. I can remember a friend telling me about this several years ago. I thought he was crazy and was just telling me this for conversation purposes. But year after year, he showed me the proof. I still wasn’t convinced until I began seeing the biggest deer cruising my property during the second and third week of December.

I knew then, he was right.

Here’s why it’s the best. Each doe comes in heat during the second or third week of

November in most parts of the country. If that doe is not bred during those days, she will come back in heat 30 days later.

Since those unbred doe are so few, the bucks are cruising everywhere to find them and take advantage of a second chance. A buck I may never see during any other time of the season may just show up during those two weeks.

So, my season is not over yet! I’m still in the hunt—pardon the pun.

In other areas of life, second chances are the most beneficial as well.

It seems, whether we like it or not, we are less likely to make the same mistake twice.

I’m not exactly sure why, except for the memory of past mistakes. They seem to linger a little longer. The sting of a bad decision seems to stay with us when most other emotions are

gone.

I think this is all the more reason to be thankful that God gives second chances. It’s a great reason to thank God for his plan of salvation and for his plan of restoration. Both are based on grace. You see, grace is the unmerited and undeserved favor of God. And grace is always initiated by the one who is giving grace.

This means God can give chance after chance because his favor is not conditional on our response.

It’s conditional only on he’s ability and willingness to keep extending it. I think the problem many of us have is thinking that God thought he was making a perfect creation, and that he doesn’t know about our constant tendencies to mess up – time after time.

He does, however, know.

And, he knows not only because he’s God but because

h e became m a n through the person of Jesus. It’s called the incarnation, and it is why Christians celebrate Christmas.

God became man to identify with our suffering and temptations – and to pay for our second chance and as many more chances that he wants to give.

rate at 4 percent. However, IDHS is in the process of determining the exact effects the new policy will have on Illinois counties, but they do expect most, if not all, counties will no longer qualify.

The USDA cites the low unemployed rate and the high numbers of states utilizing the waiver as evidence of manipulation and the need for these tighter regulations. In a Facebook post, Representative Rodney Davis emphasized this point.

“Unfortunately, states like Illinois have exploited loopholes and exempted 101 out of 102 counties from requirements helping people on SNAP find work,” Davis said in the post. “This new rule restores the 1996 law... to help lift more Americans out of poverty.”

In its document outlining the new regulations, the USDA acknowledged concerns regarding the type of labor available with involuntary part-time work increasing at a higher rate than other types of work. Involuntary part-time workers are those who wish to have, but are unable to obtain full-time work. These workers are considered to be employed

even if they work less than 20 hours a week, thus potentially deflating the unemployment rate the USDA is using as a basis for its new waiver policy.

Both the IDHS and Governor J.B. Pritzker are opposed to the new regulations.

“This is cruel, and my administration has fought him (President Trump) at every turn,” Pritzker said in an email statement.

Powers of IDHS said that their department has not received any additional funds from the federal government. Powers said that the department is in the process of addressing the new regulations.

“IDHS has been working for months to appropriately exempt any individuals with these barriers so they

do not need to meet the work requirements,” she said.

“However, we also recognize that some of our customers can and want to work.

“To that end, IDHS has also engaged in a robust effort to prepare for this rule change so we can help as many SNAP participants as possible find employment and training that would meet the work requirement.”

These efforts include the establishment of specialty teams at local offices to help able-bodied workers to meet the new work requirements, expanding services such as funds for transportation and licenses and working directly with food pantries to ensure that needs are met.

This article contains information from Peter Hancock of Capital News Illinois.

SNAP (Continued from A1) For example, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which is responsible for the 7 million job openings that the USDA reported, is based on a sample set of 16,000 nonfarm businesses and governmental establishments across the U.S. during a month. The BLS recognizes that this figure is an estimate and contains inherent variability.

The unemployment rate considers “all those who did any work for pay or profit during the survey reference week,” including those who did at least 15 hours of unpaid work at a family business or farm, according to the BLS. States, prior to the rule changes, have been able to apply for a waiver of the work requirements based on economic conditions as determined by the unemployment rate. The new rules require counties to have unemployment rates above 6 percent in order to qualify for that waiver.

Under this requirement, Greene, Jersey and Calhoun would not qualify for the waiver with Calhoun having the highest unemployment

Christmas

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Workers from Henson Robinson Company of Springfield were in Carrollton Tuesday installing a new furnace for the Justin Tittsworth family.

The Tittsworth family was also presented with a tree from the Festival of Trees and decorations. A benefit was held in Eldred in November to help the family with expenses and medical bills. While Tittsworth admits things are tight with the family of seven trying to live off his disability income, he said they are doing fine for Christmas.

“I think we are doing alright for Christmas,” he said. “It’s not as good as most Christmases we have had for them, but the kids have what they need.”

One wish on the Christmas list is answers.

Tittsworth said he is hoping and praying they can find out what is wrong with him at the Mayo Clinic.

“I just want to find out what is wrong so it can be taken care of, because I want to get back to work,” he said. “I want to be able to provide for my family. We are very grateful to WYMG, Henson Robinson and all of our family and friends who have helped in any way at all.”

(Continued from A1) The WYMG Christmas Wish program is sponsored by the station, Henson Robinson and Scheel’s. Each Christmas season, nominations are taken for those who need a little extra help.

“We look for people who have paid it forward and now find themselves in a time of need,” Lara Thomas of the Lynch and Laura Morning Show on WYMG said. “They were nominated

by Kristie, and she said that Justin has been a carpenter and has built wheelchair ramps for the elderly free of charge and donated a lot of hours of labor to local benefits.”

Jaime Siemer, project manager with Henson Robinson, and a former Greenfield resident said he was thrilled to be able to help someone in his former backyard.

“When I heard that he was chosen for the Christmas Wish, I said we would be more than happy to handle it,” Siemer said. “My wife grew up here so we know a lot of people in this area.”

Carol Sue Pohlman Carol Sue Pohlman, 81, died at 6:40 a.m., Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at Jerseyville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jerseyville.

She was born on March 26, 1938 in Alton, one of two children born to the late John Elmer and Wilma Beatrice (Jones) Wethington.

Sue grew up in the East Alton/Wood River area, graduating with the class of 1956 from East AltonWood River High School.

She married the love of her life, Frederick William “Fritz” Pohlman Jr. on October 3, 1959 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Alton and throughout their 58 years of marriage they shared in the joys of raising their two children and the blessing of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that followed.

Sue worked alongside her husband as an Executive Assistant for the family business, the Calhoun St Charles Ferry Company (otherwise known as the Golden Eagle Ferry), for many years. Her primary focus, however, was providing a loving and nurturing home for her family.

She enjoyed traveling both near and far, and was proud to have visited all but 1 of the 50 states throughout her lifetime.

She was devout in her Catholic faith, serving as a member of the Alter Society for many years. In addition, she was a proud 50-year member of Beta Sigma Phi. Sue took great pride in her appearance and had a keen eye for fashion and enjoyed any opportunity she had to shop, whether it be for herself or someone else. She would spend countless hours decorating their lawn for Halloween in anticipation of many trick-or-treaters that gathered each and every year.

Sue’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren provided her with some of her greatest joys in life. There was never a sporting event, birthday or milestone that she was not there to show her love and support.

As Sue faced her battle with Alzheimer’s in her later years, she was blessed to have her husband, children and grandchildren return that same love and devotion back to her, providing for her a constant source of love and care.

She will forever be

admired for her thoughtful and giving nature. Her family finds peace in knowing that her battle is over and she has once again been made whole and reunited for eternity with her love, Fritz.

Surviving are a daughter and son in-law, Stacey and Dan Eilerman of Carrollton; a son and daughter in-law, Frederick William “Fred” III and Julie Pohlman of Grafton; six grandsons, Jay and Justine Eilerman of Carrollton; Drew and Mariah Eilerman of Raymond; Frederick William “Fred” Pohlman IV and his fiancé, Jordynn Hadik, of Edwardsville; Sam Pohlman of Westminster, CO; Hayden and Kayce Eilerman of Columbia and Luke Pohlman of Wright City, MO; six great-grandchildren, Brookelyn, Bailey, Bowen, Audrey, Gus and Sage.

In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, Lowell “Sonny” Wethington.

Memorial visitation will be held from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m., Saturday, December 14, 2019 at the Crawford Funeral Home.

A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:30 a.m. at the Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Jerseyville with Father Hyland Smith officiating.

In lieu of flowers or plants, memorials may be given to BJC Hospice or to Carlinville Catholic Charities which covers the Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin and Montgomery counties.

Sunday evening, Dec. 15, the children will present their Christmas Program at 7 p.m.

This coming Wednesday will be our regular business meeting. Next Sunday during morning worship service we will have a baptismal service.

Message today: Bro. Issac brought a message on Luke 2: 8-20, he also told us the story behind the Christmas hymn, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” It was written by Henry Longfellow as a poem. Later it was put to music, and the rest is history.

As we approach the Christmas Season, we should not forget the real meaning of Christmas. You might think that someone like Jesus would be born as a king, but instead he was born in a lowly stable. Angels came to the shepherds and proclaimed his birth.

He came to earth so he could be the sacrifice for our sins so we could, if we only believe, spend eternity in Heaven with him.

As the shepherds told everyone about Jesus’ birth, we should do the same. How many people have you told about our savior?

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 NIV

uman beings are naturally inclined to worry. Perhaps it is an evolutionary holdover from more dangerous times, when a lack of vigilance could easily lead to ruin. And even now, there are plenty of things to worry about, as every newscast is quick to remind us. The philosopher George Santayana claimed that one of the tenets of what he called “animal faith” is that there are things in the world that we can eat, and things in the world that can eat us! This is probably why all successful species have developed successful defenses, including effective vigilance, or even hyper-vigilance. But whereas squirrels and other small animals need to be hyper-vigilant, since hawks and cats are effective predators, human beings have created for ourselves a generally safe environment, and unless you are crossing a busy street, or working with potentially dangerous equipment, there probably isn’t much you need to worry about right now. All the major religions tell us to chill out, or in religious language, to trust in God. The natural tendency to worry and be vigilant is adaptive in some environments, but supremely maladaptive in others. Therefore, stop worrying. Your next meal is probably in the refrigerator. You have clothes and a roof over your head, and really, what more do you need?

–Christopher Simon

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle: Sunny and cool weather was the order of the morning as we gathered for Sunday morning worship service and a great turn out it was.

This was our guest pianist last Sunday to be with us.

Murlene has been with us since early summer. She fit right into our church family.

We wish her well.

I want to correct the date that our children will be singing. Sunday, Dec. 22 in our morning worship service, our children will be singing for us. We invite you to join us Dec.15 in our morning worship service as Walkerville Baptist Church welcomes “First Calling and Servants Hearts” as they present “A Country Christmas,” the Christmas story in word and song. A freewill offering will be received. Also, there will be a soup and sandwich luncheon after the concert.

Please make plans to attend the concert and stay for lunch.

Our text this morning was from Matthew 2:1-18. This is the story of the Wise Men following his star in the east so that they might worship the new born king and present the baby Jesus with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. I invite you to read the scriptures and as they searched for the new born king and ask yourself, just how far would I travel to worship Jesus Christ. Our recent prayer requests are; Ray and Patty, Fred, Jody and Travis, Harold, Margie, Terry, Neal and Pastor David.

We invite you to join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. for our worship service and at 6:30 p.m. for Wednesday evening Bible study.

Plentiful Harvest Thanksgiving meal a success

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press At the beginning of November, the announcement was made that the Plentiful Harvest Thanksgiving meal was going to be cancelled. Organizers were facing medical issues and could not handle it this year.

It was hoped that some other group or organization would step up and continue to do the 20 plus year tradition and that is exactly what happened. On Thanksgiving day, 360 meals were served with over 200 of those meals delivered to homes and businesses.

Carrie Alexander, Stacey Eilerman and Lisa Longmeyer stepped up to the plate and got the dinner back on track.

All of them have helped with the meal in the past, so they were not new to the concept.

However, concessions were made this year. Renovations at Seton Hall

forced the group to seek out other kitchens to cook in.

“Carrie stayed at Seton Hall, and I was at the high school cooking,” Eilerman said. “The high school kitchen was amazing and made it so easy.”

In the past, each church was given a list of items that needed to be purchased and members would sign up to bring an item, such as a ham or turkey.

This year, however, the food was all purchased by from Sam’s Costco or local grocery stores. The group asked for monetary donations to cover the cost of the food.

“We had so many people, churches and businesses donate to the cause that we have money to donate for Christmas needs,” Eilerman said.

“We had an overwhelming amount of people come and help before, during and after the meal; that it simply blew us away. We had between 50 to 70 people come and help. We

even had people from Jerseyville and Carlinville come to help.

“I was shocked how many people don’t have or choose not to go somewhere for the holidays, and those people chose to spend it with us. We had everything cleaned up and done by 3:30 p.m. and could not have asked for anything more. We had young and old alike come out to help.”

Eilerman stressed the importance of those helping including those who did the prep work, those who worked that day, those who took deliveries, those who did dishes, etc.

“All of the help made everything go so smoothly,” Eilerman said.

“Whatever you did, just know that it was very much appreciated.”

As for what is next, Eilerman said the plan is to do it again next year.

“We put this together in a very short time and everything went really well so with some real planning I’m sure it will be even better,” she said.

CSI asked to speak at Tourism Summit

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Members of the Carrollton Square Initiative have been asked to present at the 2020 Tourism Summit on Jan. 16 at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.

The event is being sponsored by the Great Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau to celebrate a year of regional growth in travel and tourism.

“It is an awesome honor to be asked to speak at this summit,” CSI member Nick Graham said. “I think it just goes to show that people are taking notice of what we are trying to do in Carrollton.”

Graham said they are expecting between 200 to 300 people at the event.

“They have asked us to speak on our achievements so far with the CSI and reach out to a broader audience through this summit,” Graham said. “They think

what we are doing is an inspiration and model for other small communities.”

The CSI would speak during the Game Changers sequence in the summit. Other communities asked to speak include Alton to discuss Alton Works; Edwardsville to discuss their Plummer Park initiatives and Collinsville to talk about their Fairmount Park/Collinsville Road vision.

Each partner will make a presentation between 5 to 7 minutes to the audience of tourism stakeholders, legislators and more.

Brett Stawar, with the Great Rivers and Routes Tourism Bureau, invited the CSI to speak. He had the opportunity to see what they have already done and are planning to do in Carrollton when he spoke at the CSI public meeting back in October at the KC Hall.

“I think he was very excited about our plans for this community and what

I think is most impressive is that we were recognized beyond even the county for the efforts and involvement that is being made,” Graham said. “They even bypassed what is going on in Jerseyville to ask us specifically to speak on what we are trying to do. That is impressive in itself.”

Graham said he wasn’t sure exactly what the CSI would be focusing on yet as they just received the invitation.

“I don’t really want to give anything away, but I invite everyone to come to this summit and hear for yourself,” he said.

The tickets are $20 and can be purchased online by going to www.

RiversandRoutes.com/TourismSummit.

The top tourism achievers of the past year will also be recognized, and they will unveil the new Local Legends. The summit begins with breakfast at 8 a.m., with the presentation beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Ellis trial to continue into January

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press More than a year after the fivemonth-old son of Jamia Ellis was found buried in a garbage bag in the back yard of a rural Carrollton home, case will continue on.

According to States Attorney Caleb Briscoe at the pre-trial hearing Tuesday morning, there is still information his office has not yet obtained. “There are a few reports from the Illinois State Police that my office

does not have yet,� Briscoe said. “We will make a point to track those reports down and ask to come back after the new year.�

Ellis’s attorney, Michelle Berkel, agreed to the postponement. “This discovery is very crucial to our defense, so we have no objection to the postponement,� she said.

Ellis and Ryan Wheeler were arrested on Nov. 29 after the body Ellis’s son was discovered buried in the back yard of the home they were staying at on Nov. 28. An autopsy revealed that

the child died as the result of blunt force trauma on Nov. 2.

Ellis was charged with two counts of First Degree Murder and Concealment of a Homicidal Death while Wheeler was charged with Concealment of a Homicidal Death.

Ellis remains incarcerated in the Greene County Jail with a bond of $1.5 million. Wheeler also remains in jail on a bond of $500,000.

Ellis’s next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 2 at 2:15 p.m. in Greene County Circuit Court.

Hard fought tussle for the ball

Greenfield’s Faith Rynders takes a flying shot with the basketball against Calhoun’s Claire Hagen who was called for a foul on the play during IESA Regional play on Friday, Dec. 6. The Lady Tigers move on to Sectionals and will play Winchester.

During a very physical, hard fought basketball game, Greenfield-Northwestern’s Alexis Pohlman grabs the ball along with teammate Michaela Theivagt to pull the rebound away from Carrollton’s Libby Meuth. The Lady Tigers were victorious in the WIVC match up, 44-34.
