Boyd Hospital recognized for becoming first critical access hospital in state By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Thomas H. Boyd Hospital in Carrollton has received another accolade from the healthcare community. The facility was recognized by the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network for more than a decade of service during the annual CAH Conference and Member Meeting held at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield on Nov. 6-7. Boyd Hospital was the first hospital in the state of Illinois to receive the Critical Access Hospital designation in August of 1999, something Hospital Administrator Deborah Campbell is

very proud of. “This concept had been going on for four or five years out west and I had been keeping up on it and made sure I knew what was going on with because I thought it was something we needed here,” Campbell said. Critical Access Hospitals are hospitals certified to receive cost based reimbursement from Medicare. This reimbursement is intended to improve their financial performance and reduce hospital closures. Each hospital is responsible for reviewing its own situation to determine if CAH status would be advantageous. “Early on, we saw that the critical care aspect was the better way for us to

be paid,” Campbell said. “We get paid our cost plus one percent. I don’t know that I can put a dollar amount to how much additional funding this move has meant to us but I can say that it is the reason our doors are still open.” There are 51 CAHs in Illinois and 1,332 throughout the United States. The only other CAHs in the immediate area are Carlinville and Staunton. To be a CAH, a hospital must have 25 beds or less and must provide 24-hour emergency services with medical staff on site or on call and available on site within 30 minutes or 60 minutes if certain frontier area criteria are met. “We decided that at our facility

since we didn’t do obstetrics anymore or surgery, that we didn’t have the number of patients and this would be a good fit for us,” Campbell said. Staffing requirements are slightly different for a CAH as compared to an acute care hospital. Midlevel practitioners can be an independent part of the medical staff and can provide direct service to patients. “We are required to provide guidance by a physician, but the provisions are very liberal,” Campbell said. “This is especially useful in smaller communities that may have trouble recruiting physicians to the area. CAH also have more flexibility regarding staffing levels for nurses.”

Operation Christmas is going to see a lot more toys this year thanks to a Carrollton 8th grader with a unique talent and an even bigger heart. Lakyn Gardner, 14, donated more than 25 toys to Operation Christmas, all of which he won by playing with the Iron Claw machines – a machine it is known for being extremely hard to beat. After inserting either 50 cents or a dollar, depending on the machine, the player has so many seconds to position the iron claw over an item and drop it down and hope it snags the item. For all intents and purposes, the machines are not set up to win – at least, that is, until Gardner came along. He said he started playing when he was around 8 years old. “I just liked playing the game and just kept on playing,” Gardner said. “Once in a while I would win and that kept me coming back and playing again and again.” That all changed about a year ago. “I really didn’t start winning a lot until a little over a year ago,” Gardner said. “Since then, I’ve found out I really have a knack for it and I win quite often now.” It was great to win a stuffed toy as a younger child, but there aren’t many teenage boys who collect stuffed animals. So, rather than quit his hobby, he just found some-

This flexibility has allowed Boyd Hospital, though it is a small rural hospital, to have some of the most updated equipment there is. “This has basically helped us utilize more money for capital expenses,” Campbell said. Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network Executive Director Pat Schou said Boyd Hospital is a pioneer for the concept. “We are forever grateful to Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Hospital for leading the way for our Illinois critical access hospitals,” Schou said. “This honor is well deserved and will always be remembered as an integral part of ICAHN’s history.”

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed the pension reform bill Dec. 5, which will reduce the pensions teachers through the state receive due to changes in cost of living adjustments (COLA) to the retirement salaries. Upon passage of Senate Bill 1, a number of agencies lobbying on behalf of teachers, administrators and other school personnel challenged the bill’s constitutionality, taking the issue before the courts to reverse the bill’s approval. Illinois Senator Sam McCann, who represents the state’s 50th District, opposes the bill’s passage because contents of the bill were not negotiated with those it will affect. “While there are some aspects of this bill that might have a positive effect, the lack of transparency and the fact that all stakeholders weren’t at the negotiation table are just two of the massive failures of this bill,” McCann said in a press release issued Dec. 3, the day when the bill passed both houses. According to state law, legally, the state cannot diminish the pension of an employee who has paid into the program. Kate Sievers, Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 superintendent, said the changes to COLA are the biggest factor in the reasons for a current court challenge. The adjustments to cost of living for teachers’ pensions were shifted under the new bill based on the retiree’s years of service. Current retirees will not see lower checks, but COLA accrues slower than before, and those who retire after the bill takes effect June 1, 2014 will notice pauses in COLA every other year. Pensionable salaries are also capped under the new law to $109,971 in 2013, the employee’s current sal-

ary, or the salary at the end of the collective bargaining agreement. Sievers said the changes are wideranging enough to affect every teacher in her district, especially those looking to retire in the next few years. “The ones that are close to retirement are more anxious. Because it’s close, it’s more real to them,” Sievers said, “but even myself – I have several years yet in education – I’m worried. I’m worried it’s not going to be there when I retire.” The retirement age also changes based on a sliding scale relative to the teacher’s age. Those older than 46 at the time the bill goes into effect will not see a change in their retirement age, but those younger could be required to work additional years – up to a maximum of five years – before retiring. Another change forbids teachers hired after the bill goes into effect from using up to two years of sick leave toward early retirement. Younger teachers are also planning for their retirement at an earlier ages, despite having just entered into the professional world of teaching, Sievers said. “They shouldn’t have to worry about it at this point in time, but they are having to worry about it. It’s a concern,” Sievers said. Ron Edwards, Pleasant Hill Community Unit School District 3 superintendent, said the constant changes and arguments in the legislature about pensions for teachers has cast an ugly shadow on the profession in Illinois. He worries teaching will become a much less desirable career choice because of the changes to pension. Dave Roberts, Winchester Community Unit School District 1 superintendent, agreed with Edwards’ sentiment, adding he wasn’t surprised by many of the changes to pension as (See, pension, A2)

thing rewarding to do with those wins - donate them. “I would have had a lot more toys to donate to Operation Christmas this year, but I have given a lot of them away as gifts for birthdays and such,” Gardner said. “The last time I was at Pizza Hut, I played five times and got a prize out every single time. I ended up giving them to the little kids who happened to be eating in there. One time a kid was crying because he was trying and trying to win and couldn’t. I went up there and won the football player he was trying to get, so I just gave it to him.” Years of practice have helped to hone his skills, but there are a few secrets to being successful at the claw machine. “When the guy restocks the toys in the machine – that is your best chance of winning one – especially if he sets them up in the back,” Gardner said. “You can knock them over and get them almost every time. Also, once the machine is restocked the ones on top are not buried so they are easier to get. Sometimes you have to spend a couple tries trying to get the item you want into a position to pick up.” Gardner estimates over the past year he has won between 100 and 120 prizes – most of which he has given away but as the pile kept growing, he decided to let more than just his younger friends and the kids that just happen to be (See, christmas, A2)

officer accused of theft By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Charges have been filed in Greene County Circuit Court against the county’s former probation officer, Candice Osborne, with charges alleging theft of county funds and official misconduct. Osborne, of Roodhouse, has been charged with one count of Official Misconduct and one count of Theft over $10,000 but less than $100,000. According to the charges filed on Dec. 3, in a series of acts between Sept. 1, 2004 and Dec. 31, 2011, Osborne allegedly committed the offense of theft by falsely overstating the number of miles traveled in her monthly claims for mileage reimbursement and in doing so received more reimbursement money than she was entitled to. The Official Misconduct charge alleges while acting in her official capacity, she overstated the number of miles she had driven in the month of December 2011 in her claim for mileage reimbursement and therefore received more money than she was entitled to. Osborne submitted her resignation from the position effective June 1, 2012, four months after her husband, Terry Osborne, was arrested on drug charges in January and again in March where he was also charged with Witness Tampering. Charles R. Zalar, a special prosecutor from the State’s Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor Office, has been brought in to try the case on behalf of the state. The Theft charge is a Class 2 felony while the Official Misconduct charge is a Class 3 felony. Candice Osborne was issued a summons to appear in Greene County Circuit Court at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 20 to answer to the charges C

(Continued from A1) they’ve remained marginally unchanged since the summer of 2012. He said the pension system was a good incentive to guide interested, potential teachers to the education field, but the decreases in COLA and drama surrounding the pension shifts have created a stigma for the profession. “We’re in an education revolution right now with all of these reforms going on. … This is just another reform that’s making it tough to recruit,” Roberts said, noting local taxpayers dodged higher taxes due to a greater local contribution to the pension system. Jersey Community Unit School District 100 administrator Ken Schell, set to retire at the end of the calendar year, said he understands the need for reform, but said the changes are unfavorable

for those looking to retire. “I’m falling in the pension system, and I’m hoping for the best,” Schell said. “I’m hoping that the argument’s made and that they find it in favor of the teachers and retirees that it is illegal and the pension stays the way it’s been written for years. With that being said, there’s a $55.7 million unfunded liability. How are they going to get out from underneath that.” Also in Senate Bill 1 is language requiring the state to pay into the pension system, an act the state has failed to complete for numerous years which contributed to the pension problem. Protections are given to teachers and others in the pension system giving them the authority to take the state to court if it fails to make payments. Edwards said the requirement is a strange addition, given the pay-

ment of bills is a requirement. “I know under this law dictates that they maintain their payments, but I’m pretty sure they were supposed to before, too,” Edwards said. “They were legally responsible to do so in the past and didn’t do it, so what’s going to stop them from not doing it again?” Despite the shaky reactions from local administrators, lawmakers in Springfield and Governor Pat Quinn lauded the bill for solving one of the states biggest financial burdens. House Speaker Michael Madigan said the bill sets out clear intent to save the state money while also requiring it to contribute to the fund. The speaker said he believes the bill will meet all constitutional challenges. If the bill is held to be constitutional, it will go into effect June 1, 2014.

It appears Ms. Ensinger was provided additional information after the council meeting, which I would also like to clarify to the best of my recollection since I no longer have my minutes/notes from the council meetings. At the advice of Benton & Associates, the Greenfield City Council did have a public meeting in November 2010 to get as much support for the upgrading of the concession stand for the ballparks and construction of a new bathhouse since we were applying and presenting plans to the State of Illinois for grants for both projects. Benton & Associates also recommended to get petitions signed to submit with the grant request for both projects. They felt the more you could substantiate the need and support of the community, it could possibly help with approval of the grant request. Unfortunately, the State did not approve the requests. Due to the cost, the city council did not proceed with the bathhouse. I do not recall what portion the City of Greenfield would have been responsible for of the original engineer’s plan, but it would not have been the entire cost. As far as how many campsites

Letters to the editor TO THE EDITOR: This is in regards to the information published in your Nov. 20, 2013 newspaper concerning the Greenfield City Council approval of a bathhouse. I did attend the November meeting to address the city council. The following is what I stated: I was on the city council when his topic was initiated. I am concerned about costs; need vs. want and I understand about the camping revenue and its importance to the city. When I was on the council, Benton & Associates presented a plan and recommendations. Due to cost, I asked if it could be smaller; or consider as part of the Youth League; or combine with the current bathhouse and the two meet the camping needs - I was told no due to the number of campsites. I do not recall anyone coming to the council meetings voicing the current bathhouse as insufficient - only the Youth League had requested help. Also, I wish the council would consider open meetings for big projects to make residents aware, such as they had done regarding the purchase of the former First Baptist Church building. My questions to the council were: What are the repercussions if it is not built according to code requirements? What if the cost exceeds or goes over the approved

Pere Marquette is a state park, when was their bathhouse built? Maybe it was approved. Currently there is a functioning and maintained bathhouse on this side of the lake where they are wanting to build at for these campsites. I do see a need and not opposed to a less expensive public bathroom facility for the pavilion. SHARON WHITE Greenfield, Ill.

Birthday

GREENFIELD NEWS By MARY LOVE HAMMON

The first year Dale and I were married I made decorations. The colors were blue and white. Dad gave to me a 6 foot wide roll of aluminum insulation. This was before aluminum foil. I formed wire coat hangers into circles and made silver wreaths plus silver bells. From Middleton’s Drug Store I bought royal blue crepe paper for roping. I fashioned all sizes of silver stars and intertwined from the top of window casing. There were seven windows. The neighbor ladies, Mrs. Tate, Miss Edminston, Mrs. Hinckler and Mr. Dolly Parks thought everything was great. We lived in a rental house on South Main Street and Dale was foreman out of Rockbridge. When he came home he threw a temper fit. “What do you think you’re doing? My mom used red and green honeycomb bells. I’m going up there!” I said, “This is our home. You go ahead. She and Frances Kirby are on their way to Collinsville with that faded stuff for Dick and Dolores. After you have your bath we are invited to dad and mother’s for supper.” When we arrived I was not surprised to see that she and my sister Mel had been busy decorating in blue and silver - the sun porch - red paper stockings and green paper trees. When Dale and I had an oak garage door, I made purple and gold the three kings going to the gold star of Bethlehem. When I crawled up from the floor of our Plymouth after the ‘big blow’ the first things I saw were Clifton holding his dad the star still hanging. Yes, back then as children, we were warned - do not take gum, candy or anything from people, especially strangers. Never accept a ride in a vehicle. When I taught school at Jericho, I saw this put into use by Ralph and Louise Shafer’s children: Nada 10, Frank, 8 and Darrel, 6. Each September the County Superintendent and C.A. Whiteside came to visit. We were having a fine time. The little ones took turns being teacher inviting the older ones to find and spell directions, cities, states, rivers, our state and national capitols. What they didn’t realize were the things they learned. I believed in action and then the workbooks. Stan Lee said, “Miss Hammon, Mr. Whiteside drove up by the pump and nearly hit it.” “Frank, it’s your turn to open the door.” Bob Pembrook escorted the lady and gentleman and Gary Dorsey

introduced them to me. Two of the lads unfolded a couple of chairs for the couple’s comfort. Finally the gentleman said, “I want the Shafer children to take us the their grandma’s home.” Nada and the boys said, “No, Mrs. Hammon, we don’t know this couple!” Sam (Buster) Smith came with horses and hay wagon for the children’s hayride. The couple was not the Whitesides! I don’t remember where they went. I went home, drove Bob and Gary to their homes. Each evening after work my son, Clifton D. Hammon telephones me to see if I need anything. Last evening he told me that Nov. 16, 2013 he had been employed 32 years by the State of Illinois. I didn’t ask him how many years he had been a supervisor. Congratulations on your anniversary. People get married as easy as scat! A minister, license, ring and that’s that! But making a go of it, that’s the hard part! You’ve got to have teamwork and be mighty smart. You’ve go to be partners in everything you do. To make it the great big success that we do congratulations, Love, Dusty. The Pentecostal Church worshippers hosted their annual Thanksgiving Dinner Sunday, Nov. 19. Everyone was invited through the invitation in the Shopper. The people of the church prepared and serve this banquet to the guests. This is one of their ways of showing their Thanksgiving to God. Barbara Kahl and Aggie Piper attended. Barbara told me the food was delicious and the people were friendly. The Greenfield Methodist parish held a Thanksgiving meal Saturday p.m. Nov. 16. When my son Clifton D. returned from the Joliet area (Sunday) to his home in Sherman, he telephoned me of his safety. In Greenfield we were blessed with no storm damage. Clifton D,. mentioned East Peoria, Coal City, Decatur. Barbara Kahl’s daughter Margaret Kahl Auterman of Fithian near Champaign had trees down - a mobile home nearby was blown away. Much later - Barbara Kahl enjoyed her Thanksgiving meal from Meals on Wheels and family telephone calls. Saturday Eddie and Joan of Missouri, Mike and Laura Mauk of Sunset Lake, Girard, Margaret Kahl Auterman, Joshua and friend of Fithian came to Greenfield with special foods; an old fashioned gathering was enjoyed. ‘Til next time!

Warm up winter with a dish that evokes summer days Hearty winter meals have a tendency to lack the color and vitality that comes with fresh summer produce. But just because the days are shorter and people are bundled up against the cold weather does not mean meals cannot benefit from fresh produce. Year-round availability of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables means that fresh produce can still be the centerpiece of wintertime meals. The rich antioxidants and vitamins in produce can help fend off cold-weather illnesses and ensure you have the energy for shoveling snow or hitting the slopes at your favorite ski resort. Wild rice paired with a bevy of vegetables are ideal ingredients for delicious, filling and nutritious meals all season long. Wild rice is the only grain native to North America and is celebrated across cultures as a prized ingredient because it is chock full of nutrients and said to contain higher levels of antioxidants and protein than white rice.

Pharmacy Plus expanding to Winchester By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Pharmacy Plus, Inc., with stores in Carrollton and White Hall, is expanding once again with a pharmacy expected to open in mid-January in Winchester. The pharmacy will not be a typical pharmacy – it will be new type of pharmacy called a remote dispensing pharmacy and it will be located inside S & L Foods at the corner of Main and Cherry streets in Winchester. Pharmacy Plus, Inc. is owned by Pharmacist Byron Berry and his wife Brenda. Byron Berry explained what a remote dispensing pharmacy actually is. “It will have the medicinal inventory on sight like a traditional store and prescriptions will be filled from this location,” he said. “The difference is it will be manned by a certified pharmacy technician and not a pharmacist.” This is not to say a pharmacist will not be available. “There will be a video link with an off-sight pharmacist – in this case our pharmacist in White Hall and he will do a video consultation with every person who has a prescription filled there,” Berry said. Berry said Winchester has been without a pharmacy for the past five or six years following the closing of Baker’s Pharmacy. He added that mail-order pharmacies have forced the closing of many of the small town pharmacies. “Unfortunately, the pharmacy business is a volume driven business,” Berry said. “The pharmacist has little control over his business – it is all run by the Benefits Management Companies and the biggest expense in a pharmacy is the pharmacist.” Berry actually has very close ties to the Winchester community. His first job was working in Baker’s Pharmacy. “I began working there in 1972 while I was still going to school,” Berry said. “I worked there fulltime from 1974-75 when I first

graduated from pharmacy school and then I worked part time there and part time in White Hall at City Drugs until I bought the pharmacy in Carrollton in 1986. So I know quite a few of the people in those towns.” In fact, it was one of those acquaintances who encouraged him to open a store in Winchester. “The late Nancy Hainsfurther was the one who really encouraged me to come to Winchester and open a store,” Berry said. “We have been talking about this for about a year-and-a-half and we have just been looking into the different options since then.” Pharmacy Plus in White Hall opened its doors in May at the former home of City Drugs on Main Street after extensive remodeling to the building. Berry said he is shooting for a mid-January opening of the remote pharmacy inside S & L Foods. Berry gives high praise to S & L Foods owner Steve Wilson for giving him the opportunity to open the pharmacy inside the store. “He has been very cooperative in renting me some space so we can bring another service to the Winchester community,” Berry said. “We won’t have as much space as we do in our other locations, but we will have a few front-end pharmaceuticals and possibly some other items in the near future.” Berry said he is looking forward to being able to provide a local pharmacy service to the community. “It is going to take the communities support to make the pharmacy a success,” Berry said. “We have had some good feedback from people in town and I’m very hopeful we will get the communities support. We just hope we can do a good job for the community and earn their trust and support.” The store will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon.

Trying to stay warm Rachel Evans and Micki Darr, members of the Carrollton High School Afterprom Committee huddle next to a heater Friday night prior to the start of the Annual Carrollton Home for the Holidays Parade around the square. Temperatures were down into the teens that evening forcing many to watch the parades from their cars.

If someone on the Christmas list is an aficionado of Greene County history then the Illinois Cultural Heritage Association (IVCHA) has the perfect Christmas gift bundled and waiting. This holiday season IVCHA will be offering for sale a grouping of their publications from past years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning in 2007 with a publication on the Roodhouse Family, each year IVCHA has tried to focus on a different aspect of Greene County collecting stories and information and pictures on the subject matter,â&#x20AC;? IVCHA President Seth McGhee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a few left over and decided this year to bundle them together in one of our canvas bags as they would make a wonderful Christmas gift for the hard to buy for person.â&#x20AC;? Included are the 2008 publication featuring the log cabins and their owners in Greene County followed in 2009 by the very popular Porthole Barns, highlighting the influence of Joseph Minch in Greene County. The year 2010 saw White Hall Pottery featured in Jugs. Jugs is a complete history of all the stoneware plants in White Hall and the surroundings towns, which ultimately put White Hall on the map and forever changed the history of Greene County. Skipping to 2012, the publication Mainstreet marked the introduction of interactive technology to the history of Greene County. Mainstreet featured a history of the main streets in the various towns in Greene County. What made it unique is that each history outlined in the book could be instantly accessed by any smartphone or tablet at the location by scanning one of the Quick Response interactive codes on signs placed in the area. It marked the meeting of history and technology for IVCHA with the Main Street Interactive Heritage Trail. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publication featured the Heroes of Greene County as seen through the eyes of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents and former residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are limited and for some of them, which we only have a few of, this will be the last time they will be offered,â&#x20AC;? McGhee said. The packets can be purchased at the Carrollton, White Hall, Roodhouse and Greenfield libraries or by contacting Carrie Sturgil at (636) 328-7459.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Eldred Baptist Church news As reported by Mary Eustace Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus....Hymm Robert and Darla McPherson family opened our service reading our second Advent Scripture Isaiah 43:1-7. A warm welcome from our church family to all of you We would like to invite you to our Sunday Services. Our service today Dec. 8 was centered on second week of Advent – Love. “What manner of love ?”. In Matthew we learn that GOD loves each and everyone and we are precious in His eyes. “Do not fear” Jesus will save His people. He is saving His people from their sins. Glorification of salvation! Pastor Don took us on a adventure about how “Love from our Father” weaves

throughout the Bible. Pastor Don shows the many ways God’s people are missing the mark. Pastor Don started with Malachi 1:6 The Lord rebukes the priests. A son honors his Father. Give your best! Micah1: 2-5 The Lord is coming. This chapter refers to the Lord’s intervention in history. Our purpose today is to focus on GOD’s plan for redemption for His people. Ezekiel 2: 1-5 “the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet”. Pastor Don took us through the Ten Commandments in today’s terms. What manner of Love comes to us from our Father? Are we right with our GOD? We then went to Genesis 3 : 15 Original Sin and hate was put in the woman’s heart. Powerful message to us. Is our name written in the Book of Life?

Make everyday count giving honor and glory to our Father in heaven. This is a reminder that we have a All-Merciful God. 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.

Greenfield First Baptist Church The service on December 8, 2013 started out with the lighting of the second Advent candle by Jason and Amy Smith as the praise team sang “O Little Town of Bethlehem”. Sherry White then made announcements and led the congregation into a time of worship. Cherie Vinyard was the song leader with some traditional Christmas songs of “Emmanuel” and “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.” Along with the great congregational singing there was a children’s sermon by Sherry White on Baby Jesus being born in the stable because there was no room in the inn. Is there room in your life and heart for Jesus. Pastor John Pattison led the congregation during the time of prayer. Some of the prayer requests mentioned in church were for revolved around those recovering from surgery, those facing upcoming surgeries before the end of the year, praising God for answered requests, praying for those going through the first Christmas after the loss of a loved one. Please also continue to pray for the people on the long term prayer list: AWANA Program, Marty Albrecht, Bonnie Ballard, Janet Barren, Dan Bauer, Tom Benz, Shannon Burch, Angie (Jouett) Canavan, Marvin Cline, Becky Cochran, Roland Custer, Matt Harpole, Rex & Bob Harr, Margaret Henson, Ralph Henson, Gary Jacobs, , Mary Jennings, John Kittselman, Patty Knittel, Rae Lomelino, Darla McPherson, LIndell Mesey, Caroline Moran, Roger Moss, Tim Moulton, Teresa Newell, Aspyn Pate, W.D. Pembrook, Bob Plogger, Redbud Church, Hadley Ruyle, Joy Settles, Shirley Settles, Bobbi Jo Waters, Khloe Wilkinson, Luke and Sokha Smith, and Logan Nobis and his mother. Pastor John preached for the text of Daniel 9:20-27 and the title of the message was “Jesus is the Messiah”. This passage is about the time the Messiah would come and save the Jewish people. Not only would he save his people, but he will atone for sin, sin will be destroyed, righteousness will be established, and he will reign in the most holy place, Jerusalem, forever. This vision was given to the prophet Daniel

when the nation of Israel was in captivity in Babylon in the 500’s BC. The angel Gabriel, the same angel that would later come to the Mary, the mother of Jesus, encouraged Daniel that God has not forgotten His people or His promise for everlasting covenant in the place of Jerusalem. The angel even gives encouragement that this will happen in seventy-seven, or 490 years, after the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. This is quite a great deal of good news to a people who are captive in another country, thinking they will never see their homeland again or that they have been forgotten. God remembers His promise and gives Daniel a time period that this will start from, the 490 years. We know by reading on into Nehemiah that the decree to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem was given by King Artaxerxes in 445 BC or 444 BC. The clock starts here and the Messiah would reign forever in 490 years. But, something happened, verse 25 of Daniel 9 tells us the Messiah was cut off or killed after only 483 years were complete. Looking at the lunar calendar, which has 5 less days per year and not counting leap year, the Messiah was killed in about 32 or 33 AD. This is the same time Jesus died on a cross to cover over our sins. The same time Jesus, the Messiah, died in our place. God’s numbers hold true and the Messiah had to come in that time period and be killed, the time of the second temple that was destroyed in 70 AD. The last 7 years have been pushed off for now and will be completed at God’s time. This last 7 years will take place during the time of Tribulation and then the Messiah will come back and establishing everlasting rule of justice in Jerusalem. We do not know when that will happen, but we look forward to the Day and tell others about Jesus being the Messiah until then. The service concluded with the song “Away in a Manger” and Pastor John wishing everyone a safe and glorious Christmas, not forgetting how God had told His people the plan for Savior over 500 years before.

Brad accompanied by Sis Donna led congregation in singing of Christmas hymns. Penny March as the children went downstairs for church with Sis. Cindy as leader. Message by Bro. Baxter. Luke 1: 26-38. Last week our lesson told of Elisabeth having a baby boy named John the Baptist who was the messenger sent to tell of the coming of Jesus Christ. In the sixth month of Elisabeth’s pregnancy the Angel Gabriel was sent from God into a City of Galileo, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to Joseph of the house of David, and the virgins name was Mary. The angel told her she was highly favoured, the Lord is with you. She was

troubled by his saying. The angel told her to fear not. He said she would conceive in the womb, and bring forth a son and shalt call his name. Jesus. He shall be called the son of the highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. Mary asked how this shall be seeing I know not man. The angel told her the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of God. He also told her Elisabeth in her old age shall bare a son. With God nothing is impossible. Mary said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Please pray for all the churches and pastors, the bereaved, the lost, the sick, those in nursing homes and hospitals, traveling mercies, our troops and their families, our country and our leaders, and one another. Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 6 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 6 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 6 p.m.

The Spiritual Gift of Administration “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.” Acts 20: 28

n Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians he ranks various offices of the church: “God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12: 28) From its beginning, Christianity was built on a foundation of helpers and administrators. Jesus appointed 12 disciples and sent them forth two by two, giving them explicit instructions about what to take and what to do. Jesus was Christendom's first administrator and it is clear that there was to be some organization. In the book of Acts we see the beginning of church administration in the period following Jesus's death and

resurrection, and we also witness the beginning of divisions within the church, there being disagreements over the issue of circumcision and Jewish dietary law, for instance. There is considerable discussion of these issues in the epistles, but the important thing for us to realize is that there were people who were charged with organizing and leading their church communities, including resolving disputes within the church. We should consider whether we have a knack for organizational leadership and where it might fit into our church’s structure. Can we help our church with our organizational or administrative talents? – Christopher Simon

Land of Lincoln Treasure Buyers coming to Carrollton Library By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press If one is looking for some spare cash this Christmas season they might want go up in the attic and drag out some of Aunt Tillie’s treasures and bring them to the Carrollton Public Library where they stand the chance of receiving some cold hard cash for the forgotten collectibles. The Land of Lincoln Treasure Buyers, LLP will be holding a free public event at the Carrollton Library on Dec. 20-21 where experts will be available to look at and assess a value to everything from old toy guitars to broken jewelry. What some may consider trash could be a treasure to them. “I have a number of outstandingly knowledgeable individuals that have years of experience in evaluating old coins, currencies, toys, advertising items and historic articles, just to name a few,” William Gross, President and Owner of Land of Lincoln Treasurer Buylers, LLP said. It’s not Antiques Roadshow but people should expect to arrive to a fun and friendly event. “We openly share our knowledge and want to educate folks,”

Gross said. “All of our associates are professional and friendly people who have a passion for the ‘old and interesting’.” But what if the item you want to find out about is too big to bring in? “If it’s too big to bring in then take a picture of it with your cell phone and we can see it that way,” Gross said. “We can see them via the phone or even by texting the picture to us.” Gross said that everyone has something in their house that they have always been curious to research. “I cannot count the times we hear ‘Oh, wow, that’s what that is!’ or ‘I’ve shown this thing to 10 different people and nobody knew what it was, let alone that it was worth so much money!’,” Gross said. “We have fun seeing the lights ‘turn on’ in our client’s eyes on those occasions when we can make their day. It’s a win-win situation and we just love those.” While the nationwide focus right now is set on gold and silver due to their record high values, that doesn’t mean that is all they are looking for. “We will look at anything you bring to us,” Gross said. “All coins dated 1970 and earlier, silver and gold bullion, currency, war memo-

rabilia, old sterling flatware sets, musical instruments, toys, advertising items and even cell phones.” Gross recommends not cleaning or polishing anything, as this could actually reduce its value. Land of Lincoln Treasurer Buyers, LLP is a small company made up of friends and colleagues based in Jacksonville. Gross said to conduct business in this fashion that all of those involved must undergo and pass background checks monthly as required by state and local officials. They are licensed, bonded, insured and incorporated in the State of Illinois and hold a Federal Employee ID number. They are also members of the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce and Gross stressed they are not affiliated with any other “road show” or similar company that is conducting business in this fashion. Look for their ad in this paper for a full list of treasures they are searching for or call (217) 415-7481 or (217) 883-2802 with any questions one might have. They will be at the library on Friday, Dec. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..

Fire marshal reminds residents to properly use holiday decorations

PUBLIC NOTICE

Carrollton, Illinois

12.11.13

The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) reminds residents to use caution as certain holiday lights and other decorations with line voltage can be directly linked to fires. In an effort to prevent fire incidents, old holiday decorations and extension cords should be checked and tested before use. “Inspecting old decorations and discarding defective ones should be followed in order to avoid fire accidents”, said State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis. “We urge families to avoid overloading extension cords with holiday decorations.” In Illinois, a total of 3,548 fires were reported during the month of December of 2012. Out of those fires, 12 of them were associated with Christmas trees, holiday decorations, and other type of recreational materials, resulting in $85,227 in property losses. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), on average, electrical failures and malfunctions are found in nearly 30 percent of home Christmas tree structure fires. Close to half of the cases occur during the month of

December. Another 18 percent of fires are linked to some type of heat source too close to the Christmas tree. Other incidents point at decorative lights plugged to line voltages. It is important to remind the public that natural trees carry a higher risk of fire compared to artificial ones. Therefore, to prevent fires in natural trees, they should be kept watered and moist. OSFM offers the following tips to consumers:

• After the holidays, discard the tree. Dried-out trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in the home or garage.

holiday Lights • Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory, and make sure you know whether they are designed for indoor or outdoor use. • Replace strings of lights with worn or broken cords, or loose bulb connections.

CSBG scholarship applications available Frank J. Schwab, executive director of the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation, has announced the availability of scholarships through the agency’s Community Services Block Grant Program. As part of its Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program funded by the Illinois Department of Economic Opportunity, Illinois Valley awards scholarships of up to $1,000 to low-income residents of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin counties. The CSBG scholarships are

open to low-income residents who desire to further their educations as students at an Illinois accredited two-year community college, or four-year college or university. For this scholarship program year, students must be attending school in January 2014 or accepted for the next open semester. An important feature of the CSBG Scholarship program is that it is not limited to recent high school graduates but is extended to individuals who may be returning to complete their education as adults. For the past five years a

large percentage of scholarships have been awarded to individuals whose circumstances had never before afforded them the opportunity or time consider further education. Many of those individuals and their households had participated in other corollary services offered by the agency and whose educational interests were fostered by this relationship. IVEDC encourages these, and other “non traditional” students, as well as all others interested in applying for a CSBG scholarship to contact the office in their county for additional information.

Stay informed - read the Greene Prairie Press

Applications will be accepted through December 2013.

Applications and further information are available from your local county CSBG outreach worker.

SAM eLLIOTT Greene Prairie Press Despite owning the Spartan Classic's No. 1 seed, the North Greene High School boys basketball team didn't draw itself a pushover of an opponent for its tournament opener. The Spartans found themselves in a tie game with less than three minutes to play, but pulled out a 65-57 win against No. 9 seed Western Tuesday in White Hall. "Western's a very good team. They knocked off West Central earlier this year," North Greene head coach Brett Berry said. "The No. 9 seed was not indicative of them. They just got the No. 9 seed because they weren't at the [seed] meeting." Spartans junior Connor Vincent helped his team's top seed hold, scoring a game-high 26 points on 5-of-8 shooting from behind the 3-point line and 9-of-15 shooting overall. "My teammates found me and I

got hot from [3-point range]. When I do that, I just keep shooting," he said. "Usually if I hit my first one, then I just keep shooting until I'm not feeling it anymore. Then I find my teammates and they'll usually score." Vincent scored 15 of North Greene's 27 first-half points, but the teams were tied at halftime. "We didn't play very sharp in the first half. We didn't rebound well, we got caught standing and watching shots a lot and we had a hard time getting the ball inside," Berry said. "If we didn't have Connor going, we would have been in trouble." The Spartans focused on attacking the basket more during the game's tightly contested second half. Western led briefly early in the third quarter and drew even at 53-53 with just fewer than three minutes to play in the fourth, but a steal and breakaway dunk by 6-foot-3 senior Reed Rusten put North Greene ahead for good. Rusten finished with a 12-point,

HARDIN CLASS 1A ReGIONAL

10-rebound double-double. "Once we moved the ball better against the zone and attacked with penetration, I was more impressed," Berry said. "Free-throw shooting down the stretch really helped close the game out for us." The Spartans converted on seven of their eight free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter, with senior Adam Knox making five of six in the final 32 seconds alone. He finished with nine points while juniors Logan Ross and Nathan Randall totaled six points and five rebounds each. North Greene (2-1) will face No. 4 seed Routt at 8 p.m. Wednesday

in the tournament's first semifinal. The Rockets beat No. 5 Brown County 60-49 in the first round. No. 2 seed GreenfieldNorthwestern will face No. 3 Griggsville-Perry in the bracket's other semifinal matchup at 8 p.m. Thursday. The Tigers (3-0) got a gamehigh 21 points from senior Isaac Masters as they beat No. 7 Pleasant Hill 62-30 Monday in the tournament't opening round. "Isaac Had a really nice game," Greenfield-NW head coach Joe Pembrook said. "We struggled from the floor shooting the ball, but it's one of those lessons that you've got to learn — you've

got to play hard in order to play well. Hopefully we do that come Thursday night." Austin Plogger and Dakota Coffey added 10 points each for the Tigers against Pleasant Hill while Patrick McWhorter and Justin Scheets chipped in nine and eight points, respectively. Greenfield-NW has played in the Spartan Classic's third-place game the past two years, losing leat season's to North Greene. "It'd be nice to take that next step [to the title game] and see where we can finish out Friday night," Pembrook said. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Runners flood to Grafton for Naughty or Nice Run Dec. 15 By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald More than 100 runners will embark on a trek up the mile-long hill and down scenic Route 3 during the second annual Naughty or Nice Run in Grafton Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. The run’s first year was a major success with more than 100 runners completing one of the two courses in Grafton. The run also coincides with the Pere Marquette Endurance Trail Run, an off-road 7.8 mile course. Those daring enough to take on the challenge of both the Naughty Run and Endurance Trail Run are rewarded

with a special Godzilla medal for completing what’s called the Zilla Challenge. Teri Pfeiffer, organizer of the event, said the hardcore runners – 60 have signed up for both events – enjoy attempting both races because it presents a challenge of not only competing on two courses, but also during a colder time of the year. “It’s the novelty of it being a little challenging. With this mile-high hill, sometimes people want that extra challenge so that they have bragging rights,” Pfeiffer said. “You’re running in December. Temperatures are always an element that comes into

play.” She said the Naughty run draws a lot of participants because of its unique course which begins at the bottom of Grafton Hills Drive on Main Street where runners scale the “mile-high hill” before running through the hilltop neighborhood and looping back down to the riverfront via Route 3 for a total of a four-mile course. For those looking for an easier challenge, Pfeiffer said the Nice run is a two-mile stretch on the bike trail along the riverside overlooking the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The first 150 participants in the run will receive a long-sleeve

shirt and goodie bag commemorating the event, and those participating will also be invited to enjoy snacks and drinks at the Big Kahuna, where runners will get a voucher for a drink. Pfeiffer said the participants of the races can warm up from the frigid outdoor temperatures with hot chocolate, as well, while the awards are distributed to the runners. Prior to the race, Pfeiffer said Grafton Harbor will have a bonfire roaring to keep people warm as they wait for things to begin.

With gold and silver prices at a high, many people are sitting on small fortunes that are completely overlooked. It isn’t uncommon for people to have hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of gold and silver somewhere, just collecting dust. In most cases, it is something you have forgotten about, like those old broken necklaces, rings, class rings, earrings, watches, and even gold dental teeth. That collection of old coins that is in the lockbox, shoebox or old coffee can, that in some cases you haven’t seen for decades; is worth money! Many times, ladies will bring in bundles of tangled broken necklaces or costume jewelry that have been in the bottom of their jewelry boxes and leave amazed with how much money they received for them. Again, don’t hesitate to bring in broken or tangled jewrely, watches, etc. Coins can bring fantastic prices as well. It can be a small handful or a collection that you have inherited or accumulated over the years. Coins minted in the U.S. that are 1964 and older, are silver, like Washington quarters, Roosevelt and Mercury dimes. Also the Kennedy, Franklin, and Liberty half dollars. Actually the Kennedy half dollar contained silver all the way to 1970. Very popular are the old silver dollars, like the Morgan and Peace dollars. Some people also have gold coins, such as the $20, $10, $5, $2.5, and $1 gold pieces that can be worth exceptional premiums. It doesn’t have to be a gold or silver coin. We also buy wheat pennies, Indian head pennies, War nickels, Buffalo nickels, V nickels, shield nickels, and all variety of coins in the U.S. dating back to 1793.
