hat old familiar Christmas saying “bells will be ringing� won’t be reverberating throughout North Greene this holiday season – at least not for the Salvation Army red kettles that collect donations for the needy. The Salvation Army Board of Directors, Karen Meehan, Cathy Hunnicutt and Beth Burrus, have made the tough decision to cancel the bell ringing this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be the first time in more than 20 years that bell ringers have not been outside local businesses ringing the bell for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign. “This was not an easy decision for us to make,� Meehan said. “But because our numbers are so high in the North Greene area, we decided, for the safety of our volunteers, that the best thing we could

“The state wants people to stay home as much as possible. We do not want to promote people entering businesses for any reason.�

Karen Meehan Salvation Army Board of Directors do was to cancel the bell ringing for this year.� Typically, they also have canisters in local businesses where shoppers can make donations of their spare change or larger donations. Those are also noticeably absent this year. “The state wants people to stay home as much as possible,� Meehan said. “We do not want to promote people entering businesses for any reason.� Instead, the campaign is relying solely on donations it receives from the letters it is sending out. “We send these letters out every year, along with the bell ringing at the stores and the canisters we put up in the various stores,� Meehan said. “This year, we are

just going to have to rely on these letters, word of mouth, social media and print media. Hopefully, people in our area will hear about us not being able to be at our normal locations, and they will make a donation to us.� Meehan said donations can be dropped off to UCB Bank in Roodhouse or they can be mailed to her at: 647 NE 1450 St., Roodhouse, IL 62082. The North Greene Salvation Army helps anyone in the North Greene School District including those in Roodhouse, White Hall, Patterson and Hillview. The majority of those funds go to help with utility bills, but they also help with gas to get to doctor’s appointments, medication co-pays or other expenses.

A famous holiday fixture, the red kettle, often sitting outside of the bigger stores, will not be seen in North Greene this year because of COVID-19.

“It was a very hard decision for us to make but we did not want anyone to get sick,� Meehan said.

Carrollton businesses Steinacher awarded Certified Crop Advisor can apply for Business Sustainability Grant of the Year award By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton native Todd Steinacher has been awarded the 2020 Illinois Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) of the Year award by the Illinois Certified Crop Advisor Organization in conjunction with the Illinois Farm Bureau. Steinacher, a 2002 graduate of Carrollton High School, has been an agronomist for the past 14 years and was thrilled when he was nominated for the award. “I was nominated for the award by a friend of mine,� he said. “There are about 2,000 CCA’s in the state of Illinois. So to be selected out of all of those as a nominee was something, but to be chosen as the winner was a very humbling experience.� Steinacher said a CCA is a very specialized field within the field of agronomy. “A CCA is kind of like a CPA in the accounting world but for farmers,� he said. “A CCA has to take two big tests on soils and water management along with crop management and then take 40 continuing education hours every two years in certain

categories to stay qualified to keep up to date with what is going on from a regulatory standpoint and from a federal standpoint and to stay in tune with new ideas coming out of university research and bring those ideas back to farmers. “My role as a CCA is to bring those ideas to my customers and to help them make the best decisions they can for their farms.� Steinacher said that once you become a CCA, you have to hold yourself to a higher set of standards. “From an ethical standpoint, you have to make very good decisions – you can’t just make decisions on what is going to benefit you if you are selling something to a farmer,� he said. “You honestly have to think how it is going to impact the farmer. Is this going to be good for the soil? Is this good from an environmental standpoint? And, make good decisions and good recommendations from there. I pride myself on that.� Not only has he been helping American farmers with their crops, but three years ago, the Illinois Rotary asked him and two other agronomists to go to Zambia,

TODD STEINACHER Africa, to help teach a village to increase their corn production to have more food stability to ultimately get them out of poverty. It was a challenge he willingly accepted. “A lot of these farmers over there literally grow corn and eat it themselves,� he said. “There is no market for it – what they produce, they eat. So if they don’t produce, they don’t eat.� The village they were in Steinacher described as very “Third World.� (See, STEINACHER, A2)

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton businesses who can show that they have been negatively impacted financially by COVID-19 have the opportunity to apply for federal funds through the Local CURE’s Economic Support Payment’s Grant Program. The City of Carrollton has partnered with the State of Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to create the Business Sustainability Grant to assist business owners who operate commercial businesses within its corporate boundaries who have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. This program is being administered by DCEO through the Local Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency Support Program (Local CURE Program). The Economic Support Payment Grant Program will provide financial assistance to businesses that have experienced significant disruption or temporary closure of their businesses attributable to the COVID-19 public health emergency. City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap said she just learned of the grant on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and despite the Nov. 30 deadline for submis-

sion of the application, felt it was something the city should apply for. “I attended a webinar on it and talked with a couple of people in the community and felt this was something we, as a city should do,� Dunlap said. “These are federal monies that were allocated to the states that are administered through DCEO and they come up with all these different programs to administer these monies such as this one.� In this case, the remaining money has to be used up by Dec. 31. The deadline for having the application in for the city was Nov. 30. Dunlap said she got a consensus from the mayor and council and got the application submitted and has asked for a grant in the amount of $115,000. Businesses who meet the criteria can apply for a grant of up to $7,500. The city has not been approved for the grant as of yet, and Dunlap said there is no guarantee they will be approved, but just in case they are approved, she said they have created a preapproval application for business owners. “We are distributing these applications to businesses this week and telling businesses to start gathering their information together and getting all their ducks in a row,� Dunlap said.

End of an era Greene County Circuit Judge James Day was a guest at a retirement party in his honor Wednesday in the courtroom of the Greene County Courthouse. Judge Day is retiring after 30 years on the bench. A large group of people filtered through the courtroom to wish Judge Day the best in his retirement, including a group of Mennonites, formerly from Roodhouse who now live in Kentucky. They read about Judges Day’s retirement and made the trip up to wish him the best. Judge Day is pictured with two of the gifts presented to him. On the left is a photo of the courthouse autographed by many of the area judges and attorneys and on the right is a pencil etching of Judge Day.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council met in special session on Monday, Nov. 23, to discuss action regarding payment of employees affected by COVID-19 in relation to the Expanded Family and Medical Leave Emergency Act and the Employee Paid Sick Leave Act. The action comes on the heels of the majority of the city either being out because they contracted COVID themselves or being in quarantine after being around someone who tested positive. City Hall was closed for two weeks. Mayor Joe Montanez opened the meeting by saying that the city has employees that need to get paid for the two weeks mandatory quarantine they are required to endure after being notified by the health department.

Barn owls are fascinating but misunderstood By BILL HOAGLAND Within the past several weeks, a barn owl showed up in the living room of a homeowner in Kirkwood, Mo. and the incident was covered on a local TV station. When the man came downstairs for breakfast, there the owl was, perched on top of a floor lamp, quietly staring at him as if it were normal to be perched in someone’s living room. Although no one knows for sure, the assumption is that he came down the chimney, but he certainly did not look as if he got there via a sooty chimney; he had that classic, heart-shaped white face coupled with a blank expression—as if to say, “So, what’s the big deal?” A friend had previously suggested that I do a column about barn owls so I had intended to do one anyway, but this fluffy TV news story about a barn owl in someone’s living room sealed the deal. I must confess I have never known much about barn owls until I undertook some research but what a fascinating, misunderstood bird! If you only knew the barn owl by the many other names that people have given the barn owl, you would think we have a winged monster in our midst. Here are some examples of the various names given to this bird over the span of three hundred years: the death owl; the ghost owl; the hobgoblin owl

and the demon owl. Even today, some people believe that the presence of a barn owl in the neighborhood is an omen of bad things to come. Admittedly, there is something about the barn owl that makes it seem ghost-like; it has a white underbelly and grey overcoat; it makes almost no sound as it flies through the air; it only hunts at night; and it frequents graveyards, old barns and other “spooky” places. But maybe it is the sound that the barn owl makes that really creeps people out; it emits a series of shrieks and hisses rather than the comforting “who, who, who cooks for youuuu” hoot of its cousin, the barred owl. There is also something about the barn owl’s face — somewhat expressionless and blank — that makes it seem to be from the world of dead souls. It is a white, heart-shaped face with small beady eyes, no visible ears and a beak that is covered with hair. That heart-shaped face is actually concave in structure; it is concave so as to “gather in” or col-

lect the sounds of the night. And a close inspection of the ears would reveal that they are actually asymmetrical or “lopsided”, with one ear higher on the head than the other. This anatomical feature allows the barn owl to hear and locate sounds in complete darkness. It is said that their hearing is so acute that they can hear a mouse’s heartbeat in the grass below them. Oddly enough, unlike other owls, this owl has very poor eyesight and no night vision to speak of. Its hunting abilities depend primarily upon its ability to hear and locate things in the dark. The other “odd” thing about this bird is that unlike ducks, geese and other waterfowl, it is not a “waterproof” bird; it cannot function in wet weather because it does not secrete natural oils to protect itself from water. That would explain why it likes to hang out under a roof of some kind when it is raining — just like us. It is believed that the barn owl mates for life. There are normally two clutches per year, with about four babies in each hatch. The male

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

It could be raining inside despite what is on surface

brings food to the nest and the female essentially is a “homemaker,” attending to the young in the nest. The normal lifespan of a barn owl in the wild is about four years. Their diet consists of rodents, small snakes and lizards. An adult barn owl only weighs about a pound, but its wingspan is 30 inches, which explains why it has such a quiet sound as it flies through the darkness. There are some excellent YouTube videos of this magnificent bird that are worth watching, such as “Flynn the Barn Owl” and the website at www.barnowltrust.org.uk. I hope you enjoy studying the barn owl as much as I have. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

It rains in my barn. I don’t mean rain blows into my barn. I mean, it rains in my barn. As you may remember, my hunting perch is on the second level of a barn. It’s perfect. Well, almost perfect. It’s that pesky rain. This time of year, it gets below freezing in my area in the mornings. When it does, the tin roof frosts up. But when the sun begins to come out, the rays began to bear down on my roof. So, as the frost begins to melt, it begins to drop like rain inside my barn until it’s all gone. In the meantime, I either must try to dodge drops or pack my rain gear. What’s weird is looking outside and seeing all the beautiful sunshine while inside, I’m enduring my rain. I know if someone were to drive by and notice my environment, there’s no doubt they would think of how blessed I am, according to what they can see. They just can’t see the rain on the inside.

Words are so important. They can lift up or tear down. They can bring life or death. They usually are spoken in response to what we see. The problem is, we can only see the outside. And unbeknown to us, it might be raining on the inside. As you drive by people’s lives this week, ask God if it’s raining in their barn. They might need your sunshine until it’s all dried up. Now, get out of here. You’re needed. ––––––––––––––––––– Q *DU\ KDV WKUHH ERRNV that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Steinacher (Continued from A1) “We were able to go over there and evaluate 11 farmers and what some of their struggles were, and then we put a plan together for them to do kind of a risk-free trial,” he said. “We said do half your farm your way at our cost and do half your farm your way at your cost and then at the end of the day, see which concept produced more yield. And over the last three years, we have seen a substantial increase in their production.” Those 11 farmers have now grown to around 100. “The program has grown dramatically over the last three years,” Steinacher said. “The whole thing was to bring good education to them. Don’t go over there and just give them a bunch of money, which is what a lot of organizations do. Once

the money is gone, they are right back where they started from.” Steinacher likens the idea to a parable in the Bible. Give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime. “Our program took it from a CCA approach – let’s educate them on fundamental agronomy – how the plant interacts with soils and understand the roots of a corn plant, plant health and all the pieces that go into it that we train farmers in Illinois on,” he said. “So, we had an education program that I built and trained and taught them on, and we actually went into the field and showed them things. “The ground is so hard over there that I had to use a pick ax

just to get the roots out, and so many of them had never even seen the roots of a corn plant before. No one had ever challenged them to dig up the roots of the corn plant before.” Steinacher said at the end of the day, they were chanting “big roots, big yields.” “That kind of challenged them on how they did things because no one had ever really formally trained or taught them anything,” he said. “They were just growing things based on what the last generation had told them and the generation before that. “They are very smart people and very hard working people – they have just never had the right structure of education to apply their efforts, and once we guided them down the right direction, they are now doing great.”

a check within 10 days of their approval. The money will be paid out by the city who will then be reimbursed through DCEO. All of the money has to be distributed by Dec. 31. “This is something we all feel is good for the businesses in our city,” Dunlap said. “We all want to support the businesses in our community because they are the ones who really hold up the city. We want our businesses

to be sustainable, because if they are not here, then there is not much of a city.” All applications will be reviewed on a first-come-firstserve basis and approved subject to the availability of funds as authorized by DCEO. All applications must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Wed., Dec. 23. Applications should be submitted to: Mayor Joseph L. Montanez, Sr., City of Carrollton, 621 S. Main St., Carrollton, IL 62016.

Grant (Continued from A1) “Because if and when we get the official word from DCEO that we are approved for the grant, then these businesses will have their applications ready for submission for review by an economic development team we will have here at city hall. If they meet all the parameters then they will be approved and will be cut a check.” Dunlap said businesses who are approved will receive

COVID pay (Continued from A1) “We have employees with the city that need to get paid,” he said. “Some of these folks have tested positive, and we were talking among the aldermen, and the general consensus was we would like to take care of our employees so they don’t have to use their accumulated sick leave.” Alderman Tim Reif said he referred City Attorney Bill Strang to the federal law regarding a municipality’s responsibility towards its employees regarding paying them during quarantine. He said the city is responsible for paying them up to 80 hours per incident if they are quarantined by a local health official. “The way the law reads, they either have to be positive with COVID or be quarantined by a local health official because of exposure or have

to stay home and care for a child,” Reif said. “This is what falls under the Family Medical Leave Act and it pays up to 80 hours per instance. This is what some of the COVID grant money we received is for.” The number of times an employee can be quarantined and receive 80 hours of pay is unlimited. They could work a week, be exposed, be under quarantine at home and receive 80 hours full pay, go back to work a week, and be exposed again, etc. Alderman Maria Cox sees a potential for less than honorable intentions. “I think we need to make sure that if people are going to be quarantined that they need to have a positive test or some sort of certification from the health department,” she said. “That should be a part of it.”

Reif said not to worry – that was a part of it. “If you are quarantined, they give it to you in writing,” he said. “Most of our employees didn’t want to be quarantined when they had to be – they wanted to be at work.” Montanez asked if city employees are mandated to wear a mask when in an enclosed area. Alderman Shane Carter, who is a police officer for the city of Greenfield, said the answer is “yes.” “We are mandated to wear a mask on all the calls we go to,” he said. “We need to make sure that is going on here as well.” Reif agreed. “We need to make sure that all of our department heads are making sure that masks are available to their employees and that they are wearing them,” he said.

Top: Carrie Alexander and JoAnn Savage were at the head of the serving line, serving up the turkey and ham for the family-style dinners that were made up for households that included more than one individual. It was a production of epic proportion as community members came together Thanksgiving Day to provide a hot meal to hundreds of community members throughout Greene County through the Bountiful Harvest Meal program. Because of COVID, instead of enjoying a meal inside Seton Hall, families were required to drive through and pick up their meals or, for those who could not get out, meals were delivered to them.

Tiger Tales Lunch and breakfast can be picked up on Dec. 7 between 10:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pick up points are as follows: Athensville Town Hall, Fayette 4-way stop, Wrights Town Hall, Rockbridge Town Hall and Greenfield Elementary School.

Paper packets can be turned in and picked up on Dec. 7 at both buildings for the second week of remote learning. School will resume in person on Dec 14. Have a great week. Go get ‘em, Tigers!

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news On Sunday, Nov. 22, Pastor Carl opened with announcements and prayers. Brother Gordon and Sister Mary led the song and service. Sister Jean played the piano and sang, “Thank you Lord for the blessings on me.” Brother Kirk played guitar and sang, “Love Without End.” Sermon: Sixth Trumpet Sounds Scripture: Revelations 9: 13-21 and Hebrews 10: 25 Eyes open to one God is in perfect control trusting God nothing goes out of His control. We should be running towards God and into church. If you want COVID to stop, pray and

go to church. Seek his will, your sin has already been paid for, and sin will choke out our love for God. Perfect love casts out all fear. The lord disciplines those he loves. Five are not diligent seeking God, your hearts are hardened. A love for stuff and possessions over God. Everything here is temporal Heaven is eternal. If you are lost, this world is the best it gets. If you are saved, this is your hell. There is a Heaven to gain. You can only serve one of two. Either God or Satan. Nothing will happen outside the will of God, two sins are already paid for. Three

diligently seeking God. We should be seeking Him, not running from Him. At the end of the service, we gathered around our shoe boxes and prayed over them. Praying they will tell the love of Jesus and many shall come to know him. Thursday evening church will gather to give thanks and praise to our God. Be in much prayer for each other and our country’s salvation before it is too late. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, Jesus is coming soon. Sunday Worship is at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday prayer is at 6 p.m.

Hillview Baptist Church news Announcements: We still require masks, at this time, on entering the building. We will be collecting the Lottie Moon Christmas offering through the month of December. The church goal is $200. Envelopes are available in the foyer and in the offering plate. If you can't come to church because of the virus you can send your offering and tithes to Allice Ford, treasurer at 117 S. Carr St. in White Hall. The next business meeting will be Wednesday Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. Special Music: Sabrina Crabtree blessed us with two piano solos. We

appreciate her willingness to use her talent for the Lord. Message: Brother Isaac brought us a message from Genesis 3:1-15. God is and always has been. He created the world by simply speaking. On the sixth day, He created man. Adam and Eve walked with God and he provided a perfect garden for them to enjoy. Their only restriction was to not eat of one tree in the midst of the garden. The serpent, a great deceiver, entered and tempted them and as many of us do, they succumbed to temptation, and ate the fruit of the tree.

That was the first sin. Sin sometimes looks good, but God opened their eyes, and they realized they had sinned. Adam blamed Eve but he was there too and could have said “no” when she offered him the fruit. We also like to blame someone else for our disobeying God's word. From that time on, a payment had to be paid for sin. God sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross for our sins. We can be forgiven if we confess our sin and ask forgiveness. Christ is always ready to forgive. Everyone is welcome at Hillview Baptist.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle — 473-1892: The Lord provided us a beautiful Sunday morning sunrise and a great Sunday morning worship service. We rejoiced with a great gathering of the family of God. Our Christian brother from up by Aledo provided us with two specials. Thank you, Paul. Please circle Dec. 13. as that Sunday is our Christmas concert during our morning worship service. Serenity Sound and Servants Hearts from the Alton area will present the Christmas story in song and spoken

word. A free will offering will be received. A luncheon will follow the concert. All are invited to attend. Masks are welcomed; social distance and hand shakes are your choice. Our message this morning was from the first chapter of Jeremiah 1:9, make no excuses. We all make excuses when we are asked to do something that we believe we are not qualified to do or just don’t want to help out. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet to the nations, but he had several excuses to give God as to why he

couldn’t do what God asked. God assured him he was the one for the job and promised him that he would go with him. I encourage you to read these verses and ask God, “What do you want me to do?” Please note, that Wednesday evening Bible study for the month of December has been canceled. Again, we invite you to join us on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 10:30 a.m. for our Christmas concert. Our recent prayer requests are Vera and Bob, Sue, Vera’s neice Robert and Sue for the Houseman family.

Janice Lee Roll, a beautiful baby girl, was born seventeen minutes after midnight on Dec 26, 1955, in Carrollton, Illinois. Her parents were Ray and Sharline Roll. The baby had been expected on Christmas Day, on the Miracle of Jesus birthday, but little did anyone expect, Janice turned out to be a “Miracle� herself. A brilliant child with a zest for life, was stricken with a rare cancerous, brain tumor at the age of 10. Surgery was performed at Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, in January 1966, by a brilliant surgeon. Still, tentacles remained in her brain, radiation was done and along with many prayers, Janice survived. Although the prognosis was that she would live only 5 years, she had survived with her intellect intact. The surgery slowed her down, still she thrived and went through school and on to junior college. She never experienced another incident of cancer during her life. Her mother was her protector for life, and although Janice had many health challenges throughout her life, she continued to bounce back with minimal complaints. After her mother’s death, in 1998, Janice’s sister, Shirley, became her guardian and Janice moved, to always be close. First, to Springfield, IL residing at Montvale Estates, then to Estes Park Colorado where her residence was Good Samaritan Village, then Estes Park Living Center at present. While residing in Carrollton, Illinois, Janice loved participating in band, the community chorus and the yearly Passion Play and many other performances by the chorus. Most of all, she loved being with her extended family for all birthdays and holidays. Her other loves were shopping, her extensive doll collection, she loved babies and small children, cats and dogs, and participating in activities, especially crafts and games in all her places of residence. She was happiest when she was busy and around people.

t really should not be so difficult to be oneself, to be who we are and to be comfortable in our own skin. Most of the time when people tell you to “just be yourself� what they mean is that you should be comfortable around them and just act naturally. We are often selfconscious in the presence of others, and when others see this, they often try to make us feel more comfortable. But there is a deeper sense in which it can be hard to “be oneself,� and that is when we really aren’t sure who we are or what we want or even how we think and feel about certain things. Our lives are an unfinished project which we find ourselves in the middle of, and if we are honest about it, we have a great deal of freedom about who we are to become. No one can tell you from the

outside who you should be. Ultimately, we all must do some serious soul-searching to figure out who we will be. And this isn’t just about your choice of careers or your relationships, but more importantly, what kind of person you will be. Will you be humble or arrogant? Will you be kind and patient, or prickly and quick to criticize? This project of becoming who you are is neverending, and in truth it is the greatest thing in the world. –Christopher Simon

Everyone loved Janice as she had a gracious and loving spirit, with sometimes a bit of mischief. Recently, her health had been declining. The long periods of quarantine and isolation were hard for her, as well. Janice managed to escape the Covid19 virus, although she had other multiple health issues when she entered the hospital on November 19, 2020 and slipped peacefully into the arms of her Lord that evening. Herein, lies the “Miracle.â€? Janice had lived 50 years longer than the doctor’s prognosis. On December 26, 2020, she would have been 65 years old. Janice was preceded in death by her parents.

Greene County Health Department rewards local businesses By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Local businesses who have chosen to abide by the State’s mitigation rules are being rewarded for their compliance by the Greene County Health Department. “This week, we purchased $2,500 in gift certificates from two Greene County businesses that are following mitigation, providing deliveries and following recommendations and keeping our communities safe,� Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said. “Those businesses are John’s Pizza in White Hall and Third Base in Greenfield. We purchased 125 $20 gift certificates from each of them which will be placed in the quarantine letters we send out to individuals who have either tested positive or been notified that they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive.� Peters said that if anyone would like to help with additional gift certificates they will accept donations to add to the letters. The Illinois Department of Public Health received $230 million in grant funding which it distributed to health departments throughout the state to help with contact tracing. Greene County has used a portion of this funding to reward both businesses and individuals who have followed the mitigation guidelines as well as the quarantine guidelines. More businesses will be rewarded throughout the month of December, though Peters said she is not sure how it will be done.

“Right now, we are not sure whether we will reward one every Saturday for the rest of December or just award all three of them at once,� she said. “But we do have three more businesses we are going to reward. We are also looking into additional ways we can help businesses with this grant funding and trying to come up with some creative ideas.� One of the main objectives of the grant was to provide resources to those who were isolated or quarantined, and the health department has done this by providing them with Meals on Wheels to those who needed them. They are also utilizing their website and social media presence to reach more people with a variety of different programs. “We are trying to focus on mental health awareness and activities, and most recently, we have started sending out exercise activities every day,� Peters said. “People can log on and see those daily exercises which will be simple and easy to participate in. We feel like after the holidays, a lot of the time we feel better if we get some exercise and we feel more motivated. We just want to encourage people in a positive way.� To keep it COVID-19 related, Peters said they try to include a discussion with someone on the COVID frontlines. “We try to either talk with a doctor involved in the research or perhaps talk to someone local who has had the virus and are willing to discuss what it was like to go through it – their symptoms, etcetera,� Peters said. “I have a great

PUBLIC NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT CARROLLTON, GREENE COUNTY, ILLINOIS

Greene County’s positivity rate declining but death rate going up By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press There is good news and bad news to report from the Greene County Health Department this week. The good news is that the positivity rate is down. The bad news is that there has been a total of eight deaths in a matter of five days. “Our positivity rates have decreased slightly over the last few weeks,� Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said. For the week of Nov. 15 through Nov. 21, the average positivity rate is 19 percent. Several weeks ago, as we entered mitigation, we were seeing about 20 plus cases a day and our positivity rate average was up to 24.8 percent. Peters said in recent weeks, the majority of cases have been community acquired. “Several outbreaks were related to large gatherings and parties,� Peters said. “By observing the community throughout those weeks, it seemed that there were a lot of individuals experiencing symptoms. It seemed as if everyone had a connection to someone who was ill.� Hospitalizations have been of concern and have been on the rise both locally and in the metropolitan area. “Hospital staffing remains the highest concern. We will continually monitor hospital capacity in the next few weeks,� Peters said. “Hospital availability will likely play a large role in our ability to move out of mitigation.� Prior to and over the Thanksgiving holiday, the county saw eight additional COVID-related deaths. One death was reported on Nov. 23, two more on

Nov. 25 and five additional, long-term care related deaths were reported over the Thanksgiving holiday of Nov. 26-27, for a total of eight deaths in a five-day period. Greene County now has a total of 34 deaths. However, the county has seen a decline in the number of cases being reported per day. “Recently, we have seen a small decline to 10-12 cases per day,� Peters said. Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) testing sites have been continually scheduled. The next date will be Dec. 10 and 11 at the Work Camp in Roodhouse. A flyer will be shared when more information is available. Peters said the planning for a mass vaccination has increased considerably over the past several weeks. “We have identified critical infrastructure staff such as hospital staff, first responders, etcetera, who will have access to vaccine first when it becomes available,� she said. “It has been noted that vaccine may be distributed by mid-December.� It might take a while longer for the vaccine to be made available to the general public however. “We are extremely hopeful there will be public access to a safe and effective vaccine by the spring,� Peters said. “In order for this virus to be defeated, we need at least 70 percent of the population to have immunity. It will be important for the return to normalcy that we quickly address this through access to the vaccine. We are planning and will continue to work with other health professionals in this area to gain support and access.�

Santa comes to Roodhouse

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Eight-month-old Bryson Johnisee isn’t the least bit scared of a scary looking Grinch as he looks up at him with a rather disinterested look after Mom had taken his picture. Santa had a very busy schedule on the day after Thanksgiving so the White Hall Nursing and Rehab booked the Grinch to take photos with the children Friday afternoon. Everyone was required to wear masks and social distance, except when the photos were being taken. The Grinch was protected by his rubber mask.

Santa did not let COVID-19 stop his annual afterThanksgiving visit to Roodhouse. The Roodhouse Fire Department dropped off Santa and Mrs. Claus on the Roodhouse Square Friday night where they met briefly with the children as they made their way to the mailbox that had been set up for the children to drop off their letters to Santa. Instead of sitting on Santa’s lap this year, the children were asked to write Santa a letter which he will take with him to the North Pole and read. Here, a child hurries up with his letter as Mr. and Mrs. Claus have the mailbox open and get ready to take the letters up to the North Pole with them.
