Roodhouse continues to look for water loss by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press With the new year comes change, but one thing that hasn’t changed in Roodhouse is their search for the source of their excessive water loss – something the city has been experiencing since the 1980s. “I’ve been doing some checking, and from what I have seen so far this city has been experiencing a large water loss since Jim Crabtree was mayor back in the 1980s,” Mayor Tom Martin said. “I know back then he got grants to put in new meters and that didn’t take care of it.” The city is currently experiencing roughly a 25 percent water loss and while some level of water loss is expected, the level is much higher than the average of 15 percent noted on the National Municipal Water Loss website. “This website shows that municipalities all over the country experience some level of water loss,” Martin said. “This is due in part to the aging infrastructures in many of the smaller towns like ours.” Even though the city has a brand new $8 million dollar water plant, the water from the plant is delivered to town through a 10-inch cast iron pipe

which was dug out and laid by hand back in 1921. “They probably should have upgraded that line to a 12- or 14-inch line, but at the time replacing that six miles of line would have cost almost as much as building the new

water plant,” Martin said. “During the process of building the new line, the engineers checked out this line and deemed it was still a good line.” Eight years ago, when Jim Young was mayor, the council approved the purchase of a meter to be installed at the west end of town to determine whether the water loss was coming from the line into town or from within the city. “The meter didn’t work too long, but the time it did work showed the loss was coming from within the

city, just like the guys had thought,” Martin said. “The bad thing about it is this town was not set up to where it could be sectioned off where you can cut off a certain section of town and see if the water loss is coming from there.” One thing the city is certain of is that the water is not going into the city’s storm sewers. “You would think if you were losing it through your storm sewers that it would show up somewhere,” Martin said. “Our guys tested every single puddle for chemicals this fall when it was so dry and they even checked the creeks running through town, and none of the treated water was found in any of those places.” According to the engineer’s report, 105,000,000 gallons of water a year is pumped into the city but sales of water are only 55 million gallons. Of this amount, it is figured 2,000 goes to each meter for a total of 20,000 gallons, which brought the total down to 85,000,000 gallons. Reports for 2012 show a little more than 60,000,000 went through the water office to be billed out, which puts the city at about a 25 percent loss. “In the past, we didn’t have a new (See, water loss, A2)

Roodhouse to finalize water project by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Roodhouse City Council discussed three pay resolutions which will essentially close out the water plant project at its workshop meeting on Jan. 8. Two of the pay resolutions on the agenda for the Jan. 15 regular city council meeting will essentially make $30,000 available at a very low interest rate to the city for other water projects. City Comptroller Suzanne Roundcount explained the city could reimburse itself through the water grant for around $22,000 in parts, material and labor for fixing the Alsey meter pit, along with another $7,000 for water meters which the city already had on hand. “It’s not something you have to do because you have already expended the money,” Roundcount said. “What you are doing is requesting to pay yourself, which is putting this money back into the loan which means you are paying yourself around $30,000 at a very low interest rate. You can then use this money for other projects

around the city.” The third pay resolution is for Hutchinson Engineering for $26,465.55 which is a 5 percent holdback retainer for their engineering services. “Ralph (Phillips) and I went out to the water plant after Christmas and it looks like all the issues we saw in the beginning had been fixed,” Mayor Tom Martin said. “Pretty much all those items on the punch list have been taken care of and the city didn’t have to pay a dime on any of it.” Roundcount informed the council they need to approve a resolution to transfer $7,606.80 from the water department to the general fund to satisfy a CDAP grant the city received to replace its emergency sirens. Roundcount said during the audit the auditors caught the mistake by the previous administration. “They said the money should have never been put into the water account because it was a grant for the sirens,” Roundcount said. “Since it was a grant, they just dumped it into the water account with the previous grant money.

Carrollton is well known as a community that loves its basketball, and they are also a well-known farming community. Well, those two loves are being combined into one to help raise money for those in need.

“We decided on donkey basketball because it is a unique fundraiser that can be very entertaining for the crowd .”

Ashley Steinacher FFA Reporter

Carrollton FFA Chapter is planning a donkey basketball tournament in March with all proceeds going to local community members faced with large medical bills. FFA Reporter Ashley Steinacher said the group wanted to do a fundraiser, but they wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary. “Rather than having our members sell pizzas or cookies, we wanted something that would get the whole community involved,” Steinacher said. “We decided on donkey basketball because it is a unique fundraiser that can be very entertaining for the crowd.” All proceeds from the event will be donated to as many designated families as possible within the community to help cover any medical expenses. The goal is to raise $5,000. A full evening of entertainment is being planned starting with a pork chop dinner and a silent auction going on throughout the evening in addition to a 50/50 drawing and a half-court shot.

While most school fundraisers are held to help the different organizations or teams sponsoring the fundraiser, none of the money collected from this fundraiser will go towards the FFA Chapter – it will all be donated to those in need. “Our FFA chapter wanted to do something for the community to help make a difference to families in our community,” Steinacher said. “We just got done with our Combine Chase, which raised a good amount of money for our chapter, but we felt that we needed to do something to give back to the community. We had been hearing of some families that were in a tough spot financially and we wanted a way to help them out. Our members brainstormed some ideas and when someone brought up the idea of donkey basketball we thought it would be a perfect fundraiser.” While the riders might not be professionals – the donkeys are. They will be rented from Dairy-land Donkey Company in Wisconsin. “They have trained the donkeys to do certain things,” Steinacher said. “These donkeys can be trained to buck, sit down, run fast, and a number of other things that make playing difficult for the rider, but at the same time gives the audience a good laugh.” Another goal of the fundraiser is to involve as many from the community as possible. They are in need of donations for the silent auction, business sponsorships for the event and volunteers to help with the dinner and some really daring individuals who would be willing to ride a donkey in the game. They are also looking for names of local families who might need financial support. Anyone who has a name of a family in mind or can donate in any way can contact FFA Advisor Christie Joehl at cjoehl@chawks.net or call (217) 416-0839. Check out the FFA website for an up-to-date list of donation items still needed at www.carrolltonffa.com. Tickets will be on sale prior to the event once a date has been scheduled. C

“Premier Bank of Jacksonville and most all other banks will not contact its customers or any citizens by telephone, email, text message, etc. to obtain information,” McMillen said. “This is why I am urging all citizens to not provide this information to anyone, especially an untrusted source who is contacting you in this manner.” McMillen said both he and his wife received this type of inquiry. “My call came in at around 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 13, and my wife’s call came shortly after midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 14,” McMillen said. “The number showed up on both of our phones’ caller ID as coming from the number ‘330’.” The phone calls are not limited to just those with bank accounts at Premier Bank in Jacksonville. The majority of local people on Facebook who have mentioned receiving the phone call do not have an account with the bank. “Giving confidential information out to these types of fraudulent groups could cause serious financial problems and identity theft problems, which could take years to correct,” McMillen said. “What is worse, the perpetrators may never be identified.”

Greene County Board meeting short and sweet By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press If the first meeting of the year for the Greene County Board is any indication of the coming year – it is going to go by very quickly and be very uneventful. Board members Joe Nord, Mike Kiger, Luke Lamb, Michael McNear, Mark Strang and Charlie Helton convened the meeting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 8 and were out the door by 7:15 p.m. – perhaps one of the quickest meetings on record. Absent from the meeting was board member Alan Graham. The only action items on the agenda were two resolutions for the highway department. The first was a resolution for a federal funding agreement for work on Palmyra Road from Illinois Rt. 267 to the Macoupin County line. Total cost of the project will be $450,000 with the majority being paid for with federal and state funds.

Water loss

(Continued from A1) water plant to pay for so the water loss was not such a big deal as it is now,” Martin said. “We are paying to treat 105,000,000 gallons but only get paid for 55 million. When we had the old plant, all we were out were chemicals – now we are paying for a new plant so we need to reduce this loss for our own good.” Some leaks have been found and repaired in town, but none of them have resulted in any significant reduction in water loss. “I’m not saying that a lot of little leaks wouldn’t do it, but there would have to be a ton of them,” Martin said. “They replaced a meter at the school which was leaking and a couple bigger meters which were also leaking, but there was no major water loss from those leaks.” Nathan Newingham, who operates the water plant, has even gotten some old maps and located some two-inch lines which weren’t on any of the newer maps. Martin said it could be possible that water from these capped off lines which aren’t on the city maps anymore could be leaking, and instead of draining into the reservoir or creeks they might be draining into old mine shafts. “Roodhouse was built over an old coal mine in the 1800s, and

The second was a Motor Fuel Tax resolution for bids and quotes for such items as seal coat, hot asphalt mix, etc., for the coming year. Greene County Clerk Deb Banghart said the board convened a special meeting on Dec. 31 to pay the year-end bills and sign off on this year’s budget. Members also approved a 2.5 percent increase for the unions representing the sheriff’s department, FOP, highway department, and the circuit clerk and courthouse contracts. “They did have a wage reopener in the contracts, which means they can renegotiate the wages,” Banghart said. “In other words, the contract on wages is only a one-year contract which can be re-opened in a year.” The board also approved a liquor license for the H1-M1 Corporation located off Rt. 267 between Greenfield and the junction of Rt. 108.

maybe this water we are losing is going into an aquifer or an old mine shaft or something,” Martin said. “Wherever it is going it is not surfacing which is why they can’t find it.” One thing Martin can’t figure out is how city managed to secure a USDA loan with its continued water loss. In February 2011, Jim Burke, engineer with Hutchinson Engineering, at a special meeting held to accept the low bids for the water project, explained to the council why the project had taken so long to come to fruition. The city’s water supply was contaminated in 2003 when heavy rains flooded the city’s aquifer. After two years on a boil order, the EPA mandated that the city must provide potable water to its citizens – hence the new water plant. Funding for the project, however, was halted by a 33 percent water loss. New meters were installed, leaks fixed, etc. and in 2011 Burke said the water loss was down to 20 percent but USDA wanted to see it down to around 10 percent. Funding was eventually secured from USDA and the water plant built. However, the water loss continues and city officials are not sure where to look next.

because a lot of people pay cash and then they have no proof they paid their bill because their receipt is now just a plain piece of paper. There needs to be some sort of correction made there.” Mayor Martin informed the council that after spending over $800 for new tires for the 2003 Ford F-350 truck for the South Shop, that more work was needed on the truck. “After they put the tires on the truck was still hard to drive, and so they took it back to Chapman’s and he checked the front end and said they need to replace the tie rod and ball joints,” Martin said. “Otherwise, he said these tires won’t last six months.” Martin also informed the council they will need to decide whether to purchase a root cutter for use on the end of the vac truck to cut roots out of the sewers or rent one. Martin said the old root cutter was sold along with the old sewer machine when the vac truck was purchased. The city could opt to rent a root cutter when it was needed at a rate of $200 per day or purchase one for $1,500.

Letter to the editor Toys for Tots campaign a huge success TO THE EDITOR: Christmas Day this year was just a little bit brighter for 2,262 children in Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, and northern Macoupin counties. Facing rising unemployment in most areas, the outlook of Christmas seemed very bleak for these children. Because of the generosity of the people and assistance from the Toys for Tots Foundation, we were able to provide gifts for the 2,262 children in our four-county service areas. Let me express my gratitude to all who donated toys, money and especially time this year. This year was truly a community effort, from Virden, to Carlinville, to Brighton, to Hardin, to Roodhouse, to Carrollton, to Kane, to Jerseyville and many points in between. Everyone came together and provided the children

of these counties a truly joyful Christmas. This community truly believes: “Every child deserves a Merry Christmas.” My thanks to all who participated this year, and I am looking forward to working with you all again in 2014. This will be my last year as the Toys for Tots Area Coordinator. I have enjoyed working with this program and with each individual and organization involved. Captain Marshall Lewis, USMC (Retired) has been named as my replacement staring in 2015. Marshall and I look forward to serving our area of responsibility together this year, and continuing the Toys for Tots Program for many years to come.

Engagement

Birthday

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Surprise holiday visitors at my home were Everett Cole (Shirley’s brother of Arizona), my grandson Jeremy Crumley of Joliet and his son Ayden (my great-grandson) who were brought by my son, Clifton Hammon. As planned my suitcase, purse and I went back to Clifton and Shirley’s home in Sherman. The relatives were interested in the town clock and live tree in Greenfield. My great-grands (Addie and Averiee) were at the door to give hugs. We went to the atrium, J.J. brought Clifton’s old checkerboard and would have son, but became interested in a TV show. Averiee bounced a super ball toward me - I caught it with my left hand. We had at least three Christmas dinners. The stockings were filled by the fireplace. The tree skirt had been done by Granny Miss Annie. Atop the tree was Jeremy’s first angel. Each holiday we watch John Wayne’s fine educational movie, McClintock. Clifton told of Grandpa Love being hospitalized one Christmas Day. Fouryear-old Richard Robinson asked, “Who is going to say, “Accept the gratitude of our hearts Heavenly father” before we eat?” When I returned home Clifton spotted a sparrow in the wreath at our front door. This is a repeat of 60 years! Nearly 60 years ago, I bought an original Barbie and Ken doll, plus accessories and a pink metal trunk from jack Inman in Carrollton. Vickie suggested that this should be given to the Crumley girls (Addie and Averiee). I gave them the two adult Barbies that Dale gave to me. He gave $50 each for those Barbie dolls. You guessed it - they fell in love with the Ken and Barbie that cost me 35 cents apiece. I did not see them open the elegant dolls. Perhaps they were cautioned not to touch. From Shade’s Lumber Yard I ordered adult woodworking tools for Ayden - saw, hammer, square, 25-foot rule, screwdrivers, some nails and carpenter pencils. He is going to make me a birdhouse. Clifton still has an electric drill and many other tools that grandpa gave to him. To him and Vickie, Dad gave a pair of adult wooden horses. They made bridles out of rope and used gunnysacks for saddles. Danny Griswold and Clifton Hammon used to have make believe horses on the farm fence near Rockbridge. It was such a beautiful day that I rode to the store with Debbie. A gentleman rapped on the car and said, “Hi, Mary!” It was Dr. Reid. I was delighted that he stopped to chat. He encouraged me to continue writing. Doris I miss seeing you flaxing around my corner.

Everett and Val Cole have returned to their Arizona home via Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans and Houston, Texas. Yesterday Clifton Hammon and Shirley took them to Peoria and over to Havana. This was the home of Al and Beulah Doubet. My dad built the “West Side” here in Greenfield for them. Days before the opening All took my family out there, put money in the jukebox and we danced. My mother and Mable Batty Cole had a “Stork Shower” for him and his wife Beulah. It was a baby boy and would be a 60-year-old man. Barbara Kahl remembered me with a ceramic bowl of holiday fruit nestled in excelsior delivered by Cara (my great-niece) of Meehan’s. It was nice to hear from Rev. June Cline. Rev. Loren Cline (d) and she moved from Jacksonville to Kansas several years ago. They kept busy working with wayward boys, preaching and were able to attend family weddings and baptisms and conducted a few of them. Rev. June has been with the church for six years. When in Jacksonville she was Chaplin of Barton Stone and he was manager. On Sundays he delivered the sermons at White Hall Presbyterian Church; Rev. June supplied the pulpit at the Christian Church in White Hall. She was instrumental in getting drivers for Dale to go to St. Clare’s for radiation. One of my heroes. This is from 1953. Dear Mary…..We were surprised to hear Sunday that you were in the hospital. You always seem so full of life that it is hard to imagine you in a sick bed. But we’re glad Dale was so optimistic about your condition and so perhaps you are home by now. Anyhow, we hope so. Miss Armstrong was doing a good job substituting for you in the primary, and she had a big class. We remembered our sick is our pulpit prayer. We happened to preach on “Christ Human Suffering”. One of the texts was in Hebrews 12 “Now no chastening seemeth for the present to be joyous but grievous; nevertheless afterwards it worketh the peaceable fruits of righteousness in those who are exercised thereby”. How true it is that “All things work together for good to those who love God. “We commend you to our loving Heavenly father, and pray through Christ that you may have a full restoration of health. With best wishes to you and Dale, and to your mother and father, from Mrs. Meeker and me. Sincerely your pastor, W.C. Meeker Rev. Hans of Springfield (my present hero) came to my home today with “Healing Oil” and communion. ‘Til next time!

Carrollton Bank contributes to 'Gas Card' program Greene County citizens living with Cancer will continue to have the opportunity to take part in a generous program created by Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Foundation with a recent donation from Carrollton Bank. “Gas Cards for Cancer” started in Greene County four years ago with money from Wrightsville Trotters (Relay for Life team) and the Classic Iron Club, under the premise of giving Cancer

patients a little relief at the pump when there is little relief felt in other aspects of their life, most of whom travel great distances to receive treatment. The first Greene County card was given out in September, 2010; since its inception 3.5 years ago, Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Foundation has given out almost $15,800 to Greene County residents.

Top 2014 home decor trend: Personalized design Interior design is in a constant state of transformation, and this year homeowners are taking control. The "keeping up with the Joneses'' mentality is giving ground to the desire for personalized design that reflects the exact needs and design aesthetic of the residents. In 2014, more people will actively embrace the role of designer in order to create a home that is truly one of a kind. "We're at a fascinating point in the evolution of the interior design process. Interior design professionals once ruled the roost, but that's all changed with design TV, blogs and the Internet," says Elaine Griffin, New York interior designer and author of "Design Rules." "Clients today are well educated and have taken back the power. They're so knowledgeable that they're doing it themselves." Assuming the role of designer doesn't have to be intimidating. Griffin offers a few expert tips for taking your home design into your own hands and creating a custom space that's perfectly personalized: n Research and check twice Taking the time to properly research and educate yourself is important so you get beautiful results without unwanted surprises. "You want to know what your options are in terms of price, value, quality, design and style," says Griffin. "What's returnable? What's not? Sometimes custom means you buy it, you own it. Do your research." Griffin also suggests being cautious when measuring. "Always measure twice, buy once," she says. "That's the first place where DIYers fall short. You only have one option when you're going custom - just right. Scaled drawings should be involved." n Customize visible features Griffin suggests investing in highly visible features of your home. "Like in the bathroom, you can focus on something that's focal-point-worthy, like the KOHLER Artifacts faucet collection. It's a piece that just belongs to you," she says. Artifacts

collection allows you to create a custom faucet by choosing from a variety of spouts, handles and finishes for a look that's all your own. Window treatments and lamp shades are other highly visible features of the home that are too often ignored. Updating these features can instantly breathe new personality into a room. "Lamp shades deliver great bang for the buck; remember you always want to take the lamp with you when shopping," Griffin suggests. n Customize color "It's all about the customization of color," says Griffin. "It's not just about a color palette for personality, it's about having that shade that no one else has." Numerous paint manufacturers offer technology that allows you to provide a fabric swatch or other color sample and they'll recommend a custom hue for you. n Salvage and tell Using salvaged materials in a renovation isn't only green, it's also a chance to incorporate your family's history. "When you're remodeling, always look for pieces to salvage: timbers from old floors, side tables, etc," says Griffin. "We've always loved our heirlooms, but now we're looking at recycled and salvaged stuff in a different light. We have a green eco-conscious, so we want to save what we can." n Don't overlook the ceiling "The ceiling is the second biggest real estate after the floor - don't neglect it!" stresses Griffin. "Especially in small or awkward spaces - like the foyer, powder room, stair hall - do something sexy with your ceiling. Add a striking color, install wallpaper, add beams." When it comes to customized design, the sky is the limit. Expect 2014 to be the year when homeowners take charge and create spaces that truly speak to them from a functional and design perspective. With these expert tips, the one-of-akind results will be nothing short of magazine-worthy.

Get back to basics with your business technology Technology can do a lot for home offices as well as small and medium-size businesses, but choosing and investing in the appropriate level of technology can sometimes feel overwhelming and time-consuming. Business owners and consumers alike sometimes overspend on technology rather than selecting the right tools to help them improve their productivity while keeping their costs at a minimum. "As business owners, we face the challenge of accounting for everything that keeps our businesses running," says Michael Spadaro, owner of Profound Cloud, a New York based IT consulting firm, and member of the Brother Small Business Advisor Panel. "One solution to help avoid overspending on technology is finding tools that multitask, but don't go overboard on features that won't be used." If you're starting a new company or looking to make technology investments to help grow your business this year, you might consider making changes in these areas: n Phones - If several employees in your company need individual phone lines, you might want to search for a phone service that houses multiple lines within a single system. But if your employees frequently travel for client meetings, be sure to investigate if it would be more economical to eliminate landlines altogether and provide employees mobile phones set up under a single business contract. Take a careful analysis of how many phone lines are needed

so you don't over-invest. n Printers - Only purchase what you need for your business. If you only print documents like emails and reports, but don't need to print in color, consider a black and white laser printer, which will typically have a lower purchase price than its color laser equivalent. Automatic two-sided printing and super high-yield replacement toner cartridges can help keep printing and supply costs in line, too. n Organization systems - Staying organized is critical to any business looking to be productive and profitable. Scanning paper documents to online storage services like Google Drive, Evernote and Dropbox can help reduce clutter and enhance organization, but you'll probably still have hardcopy files you need to keep on hand. Depending on how many files you need to physically store, you might be able to use a simple filing cabinet or banker's boxes, rather than a complicated professional organizational system. Just be sure to carefully and neatly label everything using a label printer so you can quickly identify and access the appropriate file when needed. These tips can help your company get back to the basics and maintain a healthy bottom line. Take a look at your current technology and see if there are areas where you could cut back and simplify what you're using and how you're working.

Look for the seal for safe children's products

Your children's safety is your top priority. You heard from the experts and you've read the books to ensure you're providing them with the right clothes and the proper food. But what about the baby products they use every day? How do you know they're safe? The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), a nonprofit association of 250 prenatal through preschool product manufacturers, conducts a certification program to verify the safety of its members' products. JPMA has operated the certification program since 1976 and its membership includes manufacturers who make 95 percent of the prenatal to preschool products in the market. Member companies are located in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The JPMA Certification Program ensures products meet ASTM standards, state, retailer and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) testing requirements. Every year, JPMA Certified Products are sample tested for safety, performance and functionality. This assures parents that these products have passed the most rigorous requirements in the industry and meet the highest safety standards. You can see a full list of the products reviewed and certified at jpma. org/certified. "JPMA Certification helps to ease new parent worries and make the product selection process easy," says Michael Dwyer, CAE (Certified Association Executive), president of JPMA. So how do you know if the products you see on the shelf have been certified? Products that meet the certification requirements will carry the JPMA seal. The seal can be found on 23 categories of child-needed items ranging from sleep products such as cribs and bassinets, to high chairs, strollers and bathing products. Having one symbol to look for makes it easy to find the right product if you're overwhelmed by the plethora of choices. When it comes to raising children, everyone from your next door neighbor to your grandmother will pass on advice about the gear needed at all stages of childhood. Add one more item to your arsenal. The next time you're out shopping for your child, look for items that carry the JPMA seal. You'll know you're buying a product that has been thoroughly tested to ensure it provides the safest experience for your little one. To learn more about JPMA and certified products, visit jpma.org.

Wednesday January 15, 2014

Calvary Baptist Church news Jan. 12. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements: Jan. 15 at 6 p.m. business meeting. No Tuesday night Bible study until February. Jan. 26, potluck after morning services. Jan. 18 Wild Game Supper at Retreat Center. Birthday Mr. Jerel Steele. Sunday School report by Sis Mary. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led congregation in singing of hymns. Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Molly and Lori as leaders. Message by Bro. Baxter Matthew 2: 1-15. Herod the King ask the wisemen to go to Bethlehem and search for the young child. The wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Being warned of God not to return to Herod, because God knew Herod did not want to worship him, they went into their own country another way. When they were departed the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to take Mary and the young child to Egypt. They departed immediately by night. They were told to stay there until I bring thee word for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying out of Egypt have I called my Son. Sunday evening: A continuation by Bro. Baxter of Matthew 2:

16-23. Herod was very wrought and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he diligently inquired of the wisemen of the birth. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet saying in Rama was a voice hears lamentation and weeping and great mourning for the children that were no more. When Herod died an angel appeared and told Joseph to take Mary and the young child into the land of Israel. He brought them to Israel, but when he heard Archelous reigned in his fathers room, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee. They dwelt in a city called Nazareth that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophets. He shall be called Nazarene. Please pray for Calvary Church, all those having surgeries and treatments, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the lost, the sick, the bereaved, 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.

It was so great to be back in church today after the storms that blew through last weekend. Happy 4th birthday wishes go to Drake Rueter on Jan. 18. There are no anniversaries to report this week. During morning worship several shared things they were thankful for and Richard Caskey sang "The Big Deceiver." This is a song that Richard wrote the words to. Very good Rich. Here's a prayer for the New Year: Dear God, I am deeply sorry for all the ways in which I've tried to build my life without you. Thank you so much that you love me I spite of my sin. Thank you that you sent Jesus to die for the sake of my sin and to give me a relationship with you. Please help me to live for you with my whole life from this day forward. Amen That's all for this week. Have a good week and share a smile with someone you meet.

Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace Our church services this Sunday morning, January 12, 2014 began with a great big “Thank You” to the many members of our church for all of the dedicated work on Saturday with our 46th Annual Pancake & Sausage Supper. It was wonderful as always and I believe everyone got plenty of pancakes & sausage to eat. We got some big hogs this year for our “whole hog sausage” and very tasty. We still have bulk sausage for sale. Please contact John Adcock at 942-6390 or Denny Adcock at 983-2724. We had Communion today. Our Pastor Don reminded all of us the honor of receiving communion and the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ return. Our message today was “The Declaration of Deity” John 1: 1-5. The life and mission of Jesus according to the Book of John. We will be listening to messages from John on life and the light of Jesus. Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God. Light is good. It means righteousness & goodness. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was GOD. John 1: 1 The darkness can never dispel the light of Jesus. He is the light that shines. Jesus was an active agent of creation. Look up at the sun

Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor It was a beautiful day, but the wind was a bit cold and strong. The sunshine made it a great day. The snow is leaving us in time to have another one, maybe tonight. I hope not. All is calm around Walkerville. It was a mess when everyone had to stay home because no way out of drifts. But one can’t believe how fast the snow went - with blessings. We had a real good group at church. It was wonderful to see so many back at one time. Sunday was our last day for Bro. Ron to preach. We wish him well as he goes to Calvary in Jacksonville. We are now a flock without a Sheppard. We welcome anyone and everyone’s advise. I know God will send us a Sheppard before long, as he always has. We will have services every Sunday, so don’t miss on the messages. God works in a mysterious way. His wonder to perform. Only the weather shuts down the fellowship. The questions were remembered rather well. No quite as good as I wanted, but they will be asked again, along with the latest one. Were the hands and feet both pierced of Jesus as they nailed him to the cross? There will be Children’s Church and every-

"The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." Proverbs 16:4

The Appendix If you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago, you were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform appendix—the small wormlike pouch that hangs from the cecum of the large intestine), was a useless structure, perhaps some vestigial organ that served a purpose in our long-distant past. I distinctly remember an argument some thirty years ago between my father (who argued that it must have some purpose) and my brother (who was in his first or second year of medical school, and who argued that it had none that could be discerned). My father's argument was based on his belief that God would not have created something without a purpose. He didn't necessarily know what the purpose was, but there must be

Our prayer list is the Snyder family, the Schild family, the George family, Any Ross, Betty Newman, Trisha Cox, Ed Crabtree, Susie Kieffer, Vera Sprong, Debbie Sprong, the Heard family, we all wish them well and may God bless them in their work. God is many things to us, a caring father, one who believes in you, even more than you believe in yourself, the giver of life. Everlasting most assuredly I say unto you, He who believes in me has everlasting life. John 6: 47. Commitment to God means believing he is who he says he is and acting on that. Faith as you strive to be Godly you only value Jesus at all when you value him above all. The tree with the deepest roots weathers the hurricane. Establish your roots deep in God’s word to weather the storms of life. God’s whisper can be heard beyond the stars and beneath the seas, but listen, you will hear his voice in your heart. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way. Psalm 37: 23 Set your steps toward Walkerville and come and be where Jesus loves you and we love you. See you in church Sunday.

one. People do just fine without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked, furthermore, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat from getting in your eyes was my father's answer, and wouldn't we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science now believes that the appendix is a repository for the good bacteria that colonize our intestines and which aid in all sorts of important functions, from digestion to our immune system. So score one for Dad, and the view that to everything under heaven there is indeed a purpose. We may not always know that purpose but should trust to Providence that there is one. – Christopher Simon

Planning a marriage, not just a wedding I’m getting married!

File Photo

Brides and grooms-to-be should not underestimate the importance of handing out wedding favors, a tradition with a rich history.

Choosing the right wedding reception favors Planning a perfect wedding is no small undertaking. From scheduling venues and hiring vendors to tasting menus, lots of decisions must be made when planning a wedding. But when the pieces fall into place, the entire day can be magical. One of the final components of weddings are the favors guests will take home with them as mementos of the festivities. Though favors don't require immediate attention, that does not mean couples should wait until the last minute to made decisions regarding their wedding favors. A wedding favor is considered a symbol of good will to guests, and there are many different wedding favors on the market. Finding the right one can take a little work. It is usually a good idea to find something that suits the theme of the wedding and is both long-lasting and practical. Try to avoid anything that is too kitschy. A couple's budget should be considered when choosing wedding favors. A couple may want to give their guests lavish gifts but should only do so if their budget allows. It may be challenging for couples to find favors that fit the theme of their wedding, as well as their own personalities and budgets. But it can be done. The following are some favor-finding guidelines. n Be creative Wedding favors can be just about anything, so there's no need to stick to Jordan almonds or wine bottle stoppers. The more creative couples are, the more receptive their guests will likely be. For example, for an autumn-theme wedding, fill mason jars with the ingredients for a spiced

I’m super excited about planning my fiancée and I’s destination wedding. Deciding on wedding colors, a venue, dresses, shoes, food and everything else that’s going into our special day is a lot of fun. But recently, amidst all of my planning and Pinterest-ing in preparation for the big day, it suddenly hit me… I’M GETTING MARRIED! Following our one day of celebrating the wedding, there’s an entire lifetime of marriage awaiting. I realized — while I’m all over making plans for the wedding day — I haven’t begun planning our marriage. Everybody wants “happily ever after,” but a lot of different things need to be considered and thought about in order to make that happen. First of all, who is going to manage the money? Or do we manage our own money separately? What makes the most sense financially? How should we divide household bills when we aren’t making equal salaries? It can all be a mess to think about. Speaking of messes, my fiancée and I have very different ideas of “clean.” I have an organized house. I like things stacked up and put away. He likes things spread out and easily accessible. How is our Tupperware cabinet going to work? I wash my dishes when the sink is full; my fiancée does them as he uses them. He

cake and give the recipe directions on a tag. For a summer wedding, gift guests with a sun and surf survival bag, full of sunblock, a beach towel and sunglasses. n Complete the theme Some weddings follow a particular theme from start to finish, and wedding favors should stick with that theme. Couples who will showcase their love of travel on their wedding days may want to give guests keychains or purse holders that feature popular landmarks around the world. Those who are admitted beach bums may want to present a small fishbowl with sand and a goldfish inside, reminiscent of days at the seashore. n Go traditional Couples who opt for universally appealing favors can lean toward some popular options, such as silver cake servers, candlestick holders, decorative photo frames, or engraved keepsake boxes. Aim for favors that have utility. Otherwise, favors may end up collecting dust on someone's shelf. n Food and beverage gifts are fun Food favors mean guests can enjoy their gifts and not have to worry about finding space inside their homes to display trinkets. Food favors can be lavishly decorated cookies, fine chocolates, petit fours, small bottles of champagne or cupcakes decorated like the wedding cake. Favors are often integral to wedding celebrations. Selecting a favor that will be appreciated and fit with the wedding is often a fun and stress-free part of planning a wedding.

Did you know? For decades the month of June held firm as the most popular month for weddings. But statistics now indicate that there may be shifting preferences in the time of the year for marriages. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, July and August are now the most popular months for tying the knot in the United States. September and October have

Sometimes I just need to step outside for Guest some fresh air after thinking about it all. Column Speaking of outside, BY the yard work is going to open another can of JULIE NASH worms. My fiancée enjoys mowing and working in the flowerbeds; I’ve always hired someone to mow and just hoped it rains to water any flowers. I don’t rake leaves or shovel snow, either. In fact, I don’t think I even own a rake or shovel. It’s a lot of little things, but they’re all little things my fiancée and I will be spending the rest of our lives living with. There are many other things that we do every day that are different, too — and planning those aspects of your future life together are just as important as all the details surrounding the wedding day. When you are first in love, everything about your significant other is cute, but will you think it’s all cute for the next 50-plus years? I think it’s important to discuss and think about these types of things. A wedding is a wonderful way to express your love and it’s a lot of fun to plan and make the day uniquely your own and a big celebration — but don’t forget that the marriage that follows that wedding day lasts a lifetime. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Julie Nash is an advertising representative for Campbell Publications.

also gained momentum as premier months. Explanations for this shift vary, but it may have something to do with changing weather patterns and warmer weather now arriving later in the season than in the past.

Tigers survive first-round

Greene County scare scores, results Girls Basketball

Lady Hawks reach semis

Sam Elliott/Greene Prairie Press

North Greene junior Tabitha Hawk drives to the hoop against Payson Seymour in the teams' first-round meeting at the 20th annual Lady Spartan Classic Saturday in White Hall. Hawk scored 11 points in a 61-18 win against the Lady Indians, but North Greene was relegated to the fifth-place bracket after Waverly-Franklin-New Berlin won a 51-36 decision Monday in the championship quarterfinals Monday.

Carrollton junior Jacob Smith rises for a layup against Triopia Saturday at the Winchester Invitational Tournament. Smith scored a gamehigh 16 points in the Hawks' 66-27 win against the Trojans.

North Greene junior Connor Vincent handles the ball for the Spartans against Liberty Saturday in Winchester. North Greene took the top-seeded Eagles into overtime, but Liberty won a 64-56 decision.

SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press The Greenfield-Northwestern boys basketball team was less than three minutes away from its first defeat of the season, but a late surge by senior Isaac Masters helped the Tigers to a 62-57 win against Calhoun Saturday in the opening round of the 92nd annual Winchester Invitational Tournament. Greenfield-NW (15-0) trailed for most of the game, by as many as eight points in the first half and by a 50-48 margin with less than three minutes to play, but the Tigers' defense stepped up and Masters went off for 12 of his game-high 29 points down the final stretch. "Our kids didn't get rattled," Greenfield-NW head coach Joe Pembrook said. "They stayed the course and finally made enough key stops down the stretch and hit enough free throws to where we were able to escape." Half of Masters' final 12 points came at the free-throw line. The senior's 29-point total was the highest-scoring amount through the WIT's opening day. Calhoun got to within one point of the lead at 58-57 with 55 seconds to play, but a pair of free throws by Patrick McWhorter stretched the lead back to three. McWhorter finished with 10 points and fellow senior Dakota Coffey added 14 for the Tigers. Calhoun's Gus Baalman scored 28, including eight-straight Warriors points to give Calhoun its last lead in the fourth quarter. The 6-foot-6 junior demanded extra attention from the Greenfield-NW defense down the stretch and the Tigers were able to keep the ball out of his hands in key late-game situations. The Tigers, already champions at the Spartan Classic and Waverly Holiday Tournament this season, will face Camp Point Central at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday with a berth in the WIT semifinals on the line. "Our kids are playing with a lot of confidence and they embrace the challenge," Pembrook said. "We know this is going to be a very difficult week for us. Any win in this tournament is going to be one that demands respect. "There is a great mystique to this tournament because it has such great history and tradition," he added. "It'd be a blessing for us to come out with some sort of trophy. Hopefully we keep improving and can maybe compete for the big prize." —————————— The Carrollton Lady Hawks will play in the semifinals of the 20th annual Lady Spartan Classic after beating Pittsfield-Pleasant Hill 41-11 Tuesday at North Greene High School. After nearly three weeks without a game due to snow and road conditions, Carrollton came out with an aggressive defense Tuesday. The Lady Hawks (12-2) kept PittsfieldPleasant Hill scoreless in both the first and third quarters, limited the Lady Saukees to 4-of-33 shooting from the floor, outrebounded them 42-29 and forced 27 turnovers. "I think our identity of the team is up-tempo defense," Carrollton head coach Brian Madson said. "I like to switch the defense up as much as possible to keep teams on their toes and our girls have done an awesome job adjusting to the defenses I call." Senior Patsy Coonrod led the Lady Hawks offense, totaling gamehighs of 13 points and 12 rebounds. Junior Rachel Williams added 11 points and classmate Maddie Struble chipped in eight. Carrollton will face West Central in the tournament's semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday in White Hall. The Lady Hawks will be back at North Greene in either the third-place or championship game — at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturday, respectively. Between those contests, they'll face rival Calhoun in a rescheduled and key Western Illinois Valley Conference matchup at 7:45 p.m. Friday at Carrollton High School.

Carrollton and Calhoun (15-2) each enter Friday's contest with 4-0 records within WIVC play. —————————— The North Greene girls basketball team is in the fifth-place bracket after splitting its first two games at the Lady Spartan Classic. The Lady Spartans (9-6) swept past Payson Seymour 61-18 in the opening round Saturday before falling to Waverly-Franklin-New Berlin 51-36 in a championship quarterfinal Monday in White Hall. North Greene scored early and often against Seymour, leading 23-2 through the first quarter and by a 39-9 margin at halftime. Darci Brannan led the Lady Spartans' balanced offense with a game-high 12 points while Tabitha Hawk added 11 and four other players scored between seven and nine. Monday's quarterfinal was a close game throughout the first three quarters, but Waverly-Franklin-New Berlin pulled away with a 13-4 advantage in the fourth. Destyne Powell led the Lady Spartans with 10 points. North Greene will face Western in a fifth-place semifinal at 5 p.m. Thursday. The Classic's fifth-place game is at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at NGHS. —————————— The Carrollton Hawks are in a similar position at the Winchester Invitational Tournament. Carrollton (11-3) won its WIT opener against Triopia 66-27 Saturday, but was sent to the fifth-place bracket following a close 61-57 loss against PORTA/ A-C Central Monday in Winchester. The game was close throughout, with the Hawks never trailing by more than eight points and always able to cut back into its deficit. Carrollton trailed 25-21 at halftime. Junior Jacob Smith drew the Hawks

even with a 3-pointer to make it 44-44 with 4:34 to play, but PORTA/A-C Central quickly answered with backto-back buckets and Carrollton was kept between two and four points of the lead the rest of the way. Smith led all scorers with 19 points after totaling a game-high 16 in the win against Triopia. Luke Palan added 14 points against PORTA/A-C Central after Cody Leonard scored that many against Triopia Saturday. The Hawks will face West Central in a fifth-place semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Friday in Winchester. —————————— The North Greene Spartans took the WIT's top-seeded Liberty Eagles into overtime, but foul trouble caught up to the Spartans as they lost four starters down the stretch and were edged in a 64-56 decision Saturday in Winchester. Reed Rusten's 17 points and Adam Knox's 15 led the Spartans, who led 50-49 with 15.8 seconds remaining in regulation after a free throw by Rusten, but a free throw at the other end by Liberty forced overtime with the teams tied 50-50. North Greene bounced back with a 72-28 win against Pleasant Hill Tuesday in a consolation quarterfinal. Connor Vincent scored a game-high 19 points and Rusten added 14 for the Spartans (6-6), who will face Rushville-Industry in a consolation semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Winchester. —————————— Greenfield-Northwestern junior Megan Bishop scored a gamehigh 25 points and the Lady Tigers (5-13) survived a barrage of nine 3-pointers to beat Madison 55-48 in a Lady Spartan Classic consolation quarterfinal Tuesday in White Hall. Lady Tigers Elizabeth Hall and Danielle Dorks added 11 points each. Greenfield-NW will play Brussels in a consolation semifinal at 8 p.m. Thursday at NGHS. selliott@campbellpublications.net
