Carrollton City Council signed off on a $2.1 million Illinois Environmental Protection Agency loan agreement at its Jan. 15 regular council meeting.

The city obtained a loan in the amount of $2,157,024.52 at an interest rate of 1.25 percent for a term of 20 years. Of this amount $27,755.44 is interest and $625,000 was forgiven, making the total the city owes $1,559,779.96.

“Our current line locator is almost 20 years old and they don't even make it anymore, so we can't send it in to be repaired or rebuilt .”

The city will be making bi-yearly payments in March and September. The first payment is due March 15 in the amount of $45,190.73.

This breaks down to $7,531.79 per month.

At the finance meeting held before the regular council meeting, city treasurer Debbie Dunlap informed the council she would like to formulate a long-term planning option regarding the funds in the sewer lining account.

When the city decided to do its sewer project, sewer rates were raised to pay for the project. This additional money was put into this account to pay for the project.

account to pay off the city’s $300,000 loan, which has a current balance of $155,455.

Funds would be moved from the sewer lining account to the general emergency account, and the sewer lining account would be used strictly for the loan payment. The city would then use approximately $20,000 of these funds for the city’s portion of the 2014 police truck the city is looking into purchasing.

The city held a public meeting on Dec. 23, 2013, regarding the proposed application for federal assistance in purchasing a police squad car to be used for patrol.

The council approved a motion to have a Locis representative come to city hall to check to see if the system is set up right. Locis is the city’s accounting software. Dunlap had approached the council in October about switching to a different software at a cost of between $16,000 to $18,000 because she thought it could produce better reports for the council.

The cost to have a Locis representative come in and look at the system would cost between $1,500 to $2,500, depending on whether the representative had to be in Carrollton for one day or two.

“They will be sending a support person who is going to come in and just review our system and software and possibly tweak it if necessary so it provides more efficient reporting,” Mayor David Stendeback said. “They don’t think things were inputted correctly when it was set up originally. Instead of going with a new system, we decided to just fix what we have and make it more useful and efficient.”

Council members also approved a fiveyear agreement with CK Power for a planned service agreement for all of the city’s generators at a cost of $4,339 per year. This fee (See, sewer, A2)

New Illinois law grounds drone harassment

by ANNeTTe mArShALL Greene Prairie Press Among the new laws which took effect at the beginning of 2014 is a law designed to protect hunters and fishers from interference from aerial drones.

HB1652, sponsored by State Representative Adam Brown (R-Champaign), and Senator Daniel Bliss (D-Evanston), was filed on Feb. 14, 2013, and signed by Governor Quinn Aug. 16, 2013. The bill amended the wildlife Criminal Code of 2012, making it a Class A misdemeanor to “use a drone in a way that interferes with another person’s lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life.”

While the law does not specifically name the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organization (PETA), it was the rollout of the PETA “Air Angel” drones that had many hunters concerned about their privacy.

Avid hunter and Jersey County resident Chuck Hoffmann said he was aware of the drone issue and of the new law.

“This new law prohibiting drone use to harass hunters, as any other law, is only as good as the ethics of the people honoring the law,” he said.

The drones, which retail for $324.99 at pet-

acatalog.com, are touted as a tool to help protect animals from illegal hunting activities.

“Using your hobby drone, you can collect instant to-your-phone video footage of hunters engaging in illegal activity, such as drinking while in possession of a firearm, injuring animals and failing to pursue them, and illegally using spotlights, feed lures, and other nasty but common hunting tricks. Your amateur footage can be used to alert game wardens and other authorities to who is doing what to animals,” states the description on the website.

Footage collected by the drones can be streamed live via the internet, or uploaded to the Air Angels page on PETA.org.

Hoffmann was less than thrilled about the idea of someone capturing surveillance footage of his hunting activities “What will these radicals think of next?” he said.

Hoffman, a former Illinois gun safety instructor, added he has “no respect” for those sportsmen who choose to break the law, but guessed that violators were only comprise two to three percent of hunters.

PETA does not seem to be discouraged by HB1652.

“The Illinois law doesn’t affect PETA’s

plans since its hobby drone program is intended not to interfere with wildlife or hunters but to capture video footage of hunters engaging in common illegal activity,” PETA’s Director of Animal Law, Jared Goodman, said in a statement. “All this law does is highlight the fact that hunters and fishers have something to hide from the public.”

Current FAA rules dictate drones must be operated less than 400 feet above ground, in daylight conditions only and must be within the operators line of sight. Those rules could severely hinder an operators attempt to legally gather footage of a hunter of fisherman that the drone operator may consider in violation of state hunting and fishing rules.

Hoffman, though, wonders about what would happen to an over-zealous drone operator breaking FAA rules while obtaining aerial footage.

“Who then will police PETA’s violations?” he said While the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), could not speculate on how aerial footage from the PETA drones would have been handled if the law had not passed making the drones illegal, hunters in Illinois following rules and regulations can breathe a little easier knowing that hunter

harassment is prohibited in Illinois.

“There are hunter harassment statues on the books, that prohibit folks from interfering with legal hunting activities,” IDNR spokesman Tim Schweizer said.

Schweizer also issued a reminder for those considering breaking the rules.

“When our officers receive a tip, any tip, on illegal activity…they will follow up the best they can,” he said.

And while the law states drones cannot be used to “interfere with another person’s lawful taking of wildlife or aquatic life,” there still could potentially be some eyes in the sky.

This law “…does not apply to actions performed by authorized employees of the Department of Natural Resources, duly accredited officers of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, or other peace officers if the actions are authorized by law and are necessary for the performance of their official duties.”

The law also goes on to state that, “… landowners, tenants, or lease holders exercising their legal rights to the enjoyment of land, including, but not limited to, farming and restricting trespass,” are also exempt.

selling bricks for pathway

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press How many out there remember the Carrollton Drum and Bugle Corps? Can’t think of anyone ? Well, that is the problem.

A large bass drum has been donated to the Greene County Historical Society from this obscure musical ensemble, and historical society members are seeking any information someone might have on it.

According to Diane Wolfley, the drum was donated to the historical society by Gary Flatt of Carrollton. It was discovered in the attic of a home located near Morfoot Cemetery just north of Carrollton on U.S. Highway 67.

Jim and Diana Flatt, who are now living in the home, discovered the piece of history when they began remodeling the home. Jim Flatt is the grandson of Bill and Rosemary Flatt who used to live in the home.

“None of the Flatt family knew anything about it being in the house,” Wolfley said. “I knew Sherry Kirbach Miller grew up in that home so I asked her if she knew anything about it.”

Even though she spent her childhood in the home, Miller had never seen the drum before. Wolfley said it appears the drum might have been used in the very early 1900s when many small communities organized their own bands to perform concerts in the park or on the square.

Roodhouse had a large band in the early part of the 1900s and a photo of that band can be found on the wall inside the Roodhouse City Hall.

However, it doesn’t appear there were ever any photos taken of the Carrollton Drum and Bugle Corps.

“I have been with the historical society

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press

Carrollton’s No. 1 Booster Club is an organization dedicated to developing and supporting the athletic programs at Carrollton High School.

The booster club has been making a difference in school programs for more than 36 years and its latest project is to help raise funds to have the school’s all-weather track resurfaced.

“We are planning to extend the existing brick pathway to the football field, and all of the proceeds will go towards the cost of the resurfacing .”

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

The greene County historical Society is seeking any information or history concerning the large bass drum that was donated to the society . it was discovered in the attic of a home located near morfoot Cemetery, north of Carrollton .

for many, many years and see almost everything that comes through here, and I have never ran across any pictures or even any mention of this before,” Wolfley said. “If Miller doesn’t remember seeing it when she lived there it must have been put up there by the former owners, and we don’t know who that would have been.”

Wolfley has asked several older residents who have an interest in history if they remember seeing or reading about such a band, but she continues to come up empty handed.

“No one seems to know anything about it, but it seems to me somewhere there is a picture of a band that was in Carrollton,” she said. “But I guess there probably were several bands over the years so it might

not be this one – still I’d like to find it.”

What amazes Wolfley most is the fact that the drum lay tucked away in the attic for probably close to a century.

“I just find it hard to imagine that no one ever discovered it before now,” Wolfley said. “When I was a kid I was all over the place exploring, so I can’t imagine Sherry never ran across it, but she says she’s never seen it before. What’s more, it is still in fair condition and there are also pieces of a snare drum which were found along with it.”

Anyone with any information or photos of the Carrollton Drum and Bugle Corps is being asked to contact the Greene County Historical Society at (217) 9426013 or email greenecohistsoc@irtc.net.

“We are planning to extend the existing brick pathway to the football field, and all of the proceeds will go towards the cost of the resurfacing,” booster club member Diane Hendricks said.

“The track is a big part of our athletic community as it hosts our county track meets, the Relay for Life, and provides a wonderful place for people of all ages to exercise.”

Installed in 1993 at a cost of $150,000, Carrollton was one of the first schools to utilize the new technology of using recycled rubber tires to surface a track. The track was partially funded by a grant from the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs.

After 20 years, noticeable cracks and holes have developed in the track and, according to Sue Reichmann, to be fixed properly the entire surface must be redone rather than just repairing the cracks.

Reichmann spearheaded efforts to get the track done in 1993 and is working to secure funding to get the track resurfaced.

Sewer

(Contined from A1) includes oil, fuel filters and lubricants for the city’s three generators located at the water plant, Eldred wells and the sewer plant.

A motion to purchase a line locator for use by the street department was approved for around $3,600.

“Our current line locator is almost 20 years old and they don’t even make it anymore, so we can’t send it in to be repaired or rebuilt,” Public Works Director Mike Snyder said. “We have been borrowing one from a local guy for a while now. It is something we can’t get around not having.”

Alderman Joe Harness said he had been approached about making the alley behind the health department, which is located on the east side of the square, one

way going north from South Main.

“Because people park on both sides of the alley, at times there is no room to get through there,” Harness said. “If you meet someone one of you has to back up, and there is quite a bit of traffic that goes down that alley.”

The city is going to try it for two months before voting to make it one-way.

“This will give people time to get used to it and will help the local businesses who use the alley get used to it, too,” Stendeback said.

Motorists will no longer be able to enter the alley off Rt. 108 next to the post office. They will have to travel around the block and enter the alley across from Jiffy Stop if they want to access the post office’s mailbox.

Boosters

(Contined from A1) “To be done properly, it needs to be taken out and totally resurfaced,” Reichmann said. “Plus, we are going to try to increase the runway for the high jump and do something with the pole vault strip. We can’t just fix the holes – it is not going to be safe.”

The booster club is hoping the sale of memorial bricks will raise a substantial amount towards the $100,000 to $150,000 needed to resurface the track.

“This was one of the first tracks put in using this new technology back in 1993,” Reichmann said. “The process was not as defined as it is now, so we are thinking that the new surface will last a lot longer than the 20 years this one has.”

The booster club will be taking orders for the bricks through March 1.

The cost of a four-by-eight-inch brick with one to three lines of type is $50.

A one-foot-by-one foot granite blocks will hold up to eight lines and costs $350. The 16-by-16-inch granite stone is $500.

“Here is your opportunity to place a brick for your child, loved one, or just as a fan of the Hawks,” Hendricks said. “Not only will you be leaving your mark at CHS, you will also help support our athletic teams.”

For more information or to purchase a brick, contact Rachel Evans at (618) 535-2062; Jeanne Varble at (217) 942-3592 or Hendricks at (217) 942-9021.

Carrollton Hawks cheerleaders are becoming well-known for their rather unusual fundraising ideas, and the latest is sure to be a hit with the many Hawks fans.

They are raffling off a beautifully carved Carrollton Hawk head with the words “Carrollton Hawks Athletics – We Bleed Green.”

The work of art was crafted

by Craig Holmes, grandfather of cheerleader Jade Motley, who does woodcarving as a hobby.

With so many clubs and teams all trying to raise money to fund their activities, cheerleading sponsor Patti Nord said the squad likes to be unique in its efforts to raise money.

Carrollton High School cheerleaders are selling chances on this beautiful hand carved piece of Hawk school spirit for its athletics. The piece was made and donated by Craig Holmes.

“These days it is getting harder and harder to come up with ideas to raise money that hasn’t already been done before,” Nord said.

“So, when Craig asked us if we would like to raffle off this beautiful piece, we jumped at the chance to make some extra funds.”

Nord said the girls are needing money for new uniforms in addition to extra supplies for upcoming games.

“Our current funds have pretty well been depleted,” Nord said.

“We have purchased uniforms, cheer bags, hair bows, etc., in addition to decorating the lockers.”

It is Nord’s first year as cheer sponsor and she said she is very proud of the accomplishments of such a young team.

last year so this is a very young team,” Nord said. “Still, I am very proud of how far they have come in such a short time.”

The team placed 10th at the recent Winchester Tournament, up two places from last year.

“They received very high marks for everything except stunts, but we only got to go out onto the floor to show them one cheer,” Nord said. “We had other cheers with stunts but did not get to perform them. We will be working on this for next year.”

But right now they are busy working on selling raffle tickets for the woodcarving. Tickets will be sold at all home varsity basketball games. Tickets are $1 each or six chances for $5. The winning ticket will be drawn at the last home basketball game on Feb. 17.

Carrollton School District is once again asking local farmers in the area to help them garner much-needed grant money from the Monsanto Corporation.

Now in its third year, the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, is once again gearing up to help rural school districts by investing more than $2.3 million to strengthen math and science education in rural communities.

Between now and April 6, farmers have the opportunity to nominate their local public school district to compete for a grant of either $10,000 or $25,000. Administrators from nominated school districts can then submit grant applications for either amount through April 21 to enhance their math and/or science programs.

“We believe that growing the next generation begins with a strong foundation in math and science,” Michelle Insco, Monsanto Fund program officer said. “This opportunity for success begins in the classroom.”

School districts across the United States are working to incorporate Common Core state standards and hands-on learning opportunities into their math and science curriculum. These new opportunities are designed to provide real world experiences that help grow the next generation by preparing students for success in college and in their careers.

However, with funding from the state of Illinois cut to the bare bones, very little, if any, is left in the budget for anything other than the necessities. This is where grants, such as Monsanto’s, become so important to school districts.

“We depend on grants such as this to provide opportunities for our students that we could not provide solely with our state and local funding,” Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox said.

The Monsanto Company sponsors grants for many different areas of education. In February of last year, Carrollton received $2,500 after they were selected as a winner in the America’s Farmer’s Grow Communities grant. This money was used to construct a new STEM lab in the old home economics room. Then, in August, Carrollton learned they were the recipients of a $10,000 grant from the Monsanto Repair, Rebuild, Redo and Grow competition. This money is being

used to renovate the greenhouse.

“The greenhouse renovation project is helping to move our agriculture, industrial tech and business departments forward as 21st century learners,” Dr. Cox said.

“STEM initiatives, which cross curricular boundaries, provide real world applications and problem solving to our students. The other grant was used in the reconstruction of our new STEM lab and classroom which provides an outstanding learning environment for in-class projects, technology integration and collaboration.”

Grants will be judged based on merit, need and community support. An advisory council consisting of 30 farmers from across the country will select the winning grant applications. Last year, the North Greene School District received the top prize of $25,000, which is proof when a community bands together they can reach the top.

To be entered in the running for the grant the school has to be nominated by a local farmer, and the more nominations received the greater the chance of the district being chosen as recipient of the award.

Cox said if the district does manage to win one of the two top prizes, that she would like to see the money go towards expanding the ag science and business area.

“The ag science and business aspect is a rapidly expanding career area that we want our students to be exposed to and have a solid background in prior to moving on to college and careers,” Cox said.

“We have a lot of powerful and exciting ideas for our kids.”

In 2013, more than 73,000 farmers demonstrated their support for education by nominating 3,851 school districts, resulting in $2.3 million in grants to 181 recipients.

This year the number of eligible counties has expanded from 1,271 to 1,289.

Since merit is given to the amount of nominations a school district receives from its farmers, Cox said it is very important to get the message out to every farmer in the community.

“We need our local farmers to nominate our school district for these grants and to continue to promote our education programs,” Cox said.

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

As I was walking to high school someone yelled, “Hey Love, wait up.” It was Jim Rives struggling with his jacket. “What’d your mom say?” His mom and my mom were 35 - the youngest class mothers.

Groups seemed to form around Mrs. Knudson’s Glee Club and Mr. Girhards’ math classes.

Jim Rives’ dad, “Cotton” Rives was a cousin of my mother. Jim and his wife Ann are retired from Medical Procedures of Carlinville Hospital. They reside in Carlinville.

Wm. Bill Witt (d) husband of Mildred Ferguson and Charles Todd Witt and wife Doris are children of Lee and Sybil McCracken Witt; Lee was a cousin of my mother Caroline Jennings Love. Claudia Secor Baldwin’s mother, Mildred Secor Kincaid was a cousin of my mother. Virginia Gable and I were close friends before we learned that we were cousins.

Mildred Ferguson Witt’s daughter Pamela Cassaginol is employed as a Paralegal in Atlanta - her daughter and clan have returned from the Bahamas.

Charissa, Mike Delp, Kennedy (2) and Liam (5) visited grandparents (the Delps) in Brighton, as well as grandma, great-grandma Mildred Ferguson Witt. I believe Lisa Cassiganol also came to Greenfield.

Joshua Auterman (Margaret Kahl Auterman’s son) is the proud possessor of an antique tool handed

down from generation to generation. During the holidays, David McCollom visited his parents, Gary and Elizabeth McCollom. His aunts, Linda Pohlman and Beverly Still enjoyed his company.

James Still of Portland, Ore. spent four days in Greenfield with his mother, Beverly and other family members.

Pear Buck was a Nobel Prize winner as the author of “The Good Earth”. All GCHS students knew that English instructor Miss Anna Goldsberry would require us to read and report. We first attended the movie in White Hall. Most of us reported to Mr. Girhard that we would help the janitor, do push-ups, about anything. Mr. Girhard said, “Shirley (his wife) said that it was too deep for teen years. Once a month, Mrs. Grace Metcalf came to GCHS auditorium to review a good book for the students and faculty.

There was a loud cheer when she exclaimed, “Instead of Pearl Bucks ‘The Good Earth’ I’m going to tell you a love story. We all are in love, have been or are ‘gonna be’ as you young folks say.”

Seeking applications for Illinois’ Outstanding Senior Volunteer

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

'Red Solo Cup - I fill you up' This song was no doubt going through Jonnie Davidson's mind as she filled up cups with tea and water during the Carrollton United Methodist Church's Potato Bar held Sunday to benefit the Relay For Life.

Every day, Illinois senior volunteers generously give their time and service to help others. Now here’s your chance to give back by nominating a deserving older adult in your community for his or her outstanding service through the Salute to Senior Service® program.

Sponsored by Home Instead, Inc., the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® network, Salute to Senior Service recognizes the invaluable contributions of adults age 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.

“Seniors have so much to give and make a positive impact on our communities daily,” said Amy Best owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Jerseyville, Jacksonville and Carlinville. “Senior volunteerism not only benefits others, but also helps seniors stay active and socially engaged in their communities – important elements of healthy aging.”

Members of the community are asked to nominate and vote for these everyday heroes between Jan. 15 and March 1 at SalutetoSeniorService. com. State winners will be determined by popular vote. A panel of senior care experts will then select a national Salute to Senior Service winner from among the state honorees.

Home Instead, Inc. will donate $500 to each of the state winners’ designated and approved nonprofit organizations, and their personal stories will be shared online on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s designated and approved nonprofit charity.

To complete and submit an online nomination form for a senior age 65 or older who volunteers at least 15 hours a month, and to view the contest’s official rules, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com.

Completed nomination forms can alternatively be mailed to Salute to Senior Service, P.O. Box 285, Bellevue, NE 68005.

For more information about Salute to Senior Service or the Home Instead Senior Care network’s services, call (618) 639-2273.

Illinois Farm Bureau proposals shape American Farm Bureau Federation policy Voting delegates at the 95th annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) approved Illinois Farm Bureau’s policy submittals to protect the proprietary data rights of farmers and to prevent certain changes to AFBF’s renewable fuels policy.

Rapidly-advancing precision agriculture has enabled farmers to collect data on yields, soils, inputs applied, and other variables. These advances in data collection hold the potential to be a very beneficial management tool for farmers and agriculture companies. However, control of the data and its uses are of growing concern to farmers.

IFB’s data policy, which was a new policy submitted and adopted by the delegates, requires AFBF to support efforts to better educate farmers and ranchers on data collection, and support the rights of farmers who provide their data to agricultural companies.

“Proprietary data collected from

farming and agricultural operations is valuable, should remain the property of the farmer, and warrants protection,” said Rich Guebert, Jr., president, Illinois Farm Bureau.

“The policy Illinois submitted to the AFBF Resolutions Committee, which was subsequently adopted, encourages protocols and calls for compensation to farmers whose proprietary data is shared with third parties.”

Additionally, IFB delegates helped to block submitted changes to AFBF’s RFS policy, which would have eliminated renewable fuels tax incentives for biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol as well as federal incentives for gas stations to install blender pumps.

“We understand as an organization that any type of federal tax incentives must be justifiable to the tax payers,” said Chris Hausman, IFB delegate and district 11 director, IFB. “We believe the old blender’s credit did serve its purpose,

so when it expired, we accepted that. But cellulosic fuels are still in their infancy stage and still need help, including blender pumps and infrastructure. Until that industry matures, we feel it’s going to need help.”

The AFBF annual meeting took place Jan. 12-15 in San Antonio.

An estimated 7,000 people from 50 states and Puerto Rico attended, including 362 farmer and rancher delegates who voted on grassroots policies and policy amendments.

The Illinois Farm Bureau is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a national organization of farmers and ranchers. Founded in 1916, IFB is a non-profit, membership organization directed by farmers who join through their county Farm Bureau.

IFB has a total membership of more than 400,000 and a voting membership of more than 82,000. IFB represents three out of four Illinois farmers.

Illinois Ag Association scholarships available The deadline is quickly approaching for agriculture students to take advantage of tuition support offered through the Illinois Agricultural Association (IAA) Foundation.

Agriculture students and Illinois Farm Bureau® (IFB) members and their children may apply for college scholarships offered by the IAA Foundation. Seventy-four scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 per year, will be awarded in total of $177,800 for the 2014-2015 school year.

“We are pleased to help students through our growing scholarship program, which offers a wide variety of support to farm families, Illinois Farm Bureau members, and to those pursuing careers in agriculture “ said Susan Moore, director, IAA Foundation. “It is a great privilege to support our next generation of leaders, and encourage continuing education in agricultural fields.”

Students may apply for a variety of scholarships, including three IAA Foundation Top Scholarships, where winners will each receive $7,500 awards. Another $7,500 award goes to the Illinois Farm Bureau Legacy of Leadership scholarship winner. New this year is a $1,000 scholarship for a Western Illinois University student.

Students studying crop science and pursuing a masters degree related

their education at an Illinois institution.

All applicants must be high school seniors accepted for enrollment or students already enrolled at an accredited college, university or community college. Scholarships are awarded for exceptional academic ability, leadership and financial need. Previous winners of an IAA Foundation scholarship are eligible to apply again.

A full listing of available scholarships, eligibility guidelines, and application documents are available at the Foundation website, http:// www.iaafoundation.org/, starting Dec. 1, 2013. Completed applications must be postmarked on or before Feb. 1, 2014.

For more information, contact your county Farm Bureau, the IAA Foundation at (309) 557-2230, or e-mail smoore@ilfb.org.

Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom is the top funding priority of the IAA Foundation, Illinois Farm Bureau’s charitable foundation.

Funding from agribusiness and related industries, state government, commodity groups and individual donors helps the IAA Foundation reach its annual goals to raise funds to implement IAITC programming and provide teaching resources throughout the state of Illinois.

to research are eligible for the Illinois Soybean Association Crop Science Scholarships. Ten $4,000 scholarships will be awarded to junior level majors. Recipients are then eligible for an additional $4,000 in this renewable program, providing a total of $8,000 for his or her junior and senior year of college.

Twenty-five $1,200 scholarships are available to students from specific southern Illinois counties as part of the Dorothy and Wilhelmine Ratermann Memorial Scholarships.

Twelve Prairie Farms Dairy scholarships each worth $2,000 are available to patrons and employees of the company. New this year, an additional two $1,000 scholarships are available to producers affiliated with the St. Louis District Dairy Council.

An additional 10 scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $1,500, are available to students that meet certain criteria, including area of study, place of residence, previous 4-H experience and college or university attended.

Students receiving IAAFoundation Scholarships who are enrolled in the Agriculture Department at Illinois State University or Southern Illinois University may be eligible for additional scholarship funds from the University. This partnership furthers the IAA Foundation’s effort to encourage top students to continue

Caring for the caregivers

By BoB Crossen Greene Prairie Press Caring for others helps make the world a better place, but it can also take a toll on the caregivers.

Thankfully, the Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland helps provide programs to ease the burden. Jersey County Health Department offers such programs.

“As caregivers, it’s just such a hard job. They can easily get sick themselves because they’re working so hard to care for their loved one,” Karen Schroeder, an RN and BS who has been with JCHD for more than 30 years, said, adding caregivers can also suffer from increased stress, putting a strain on their well-being. “It’s real important that they, number one, take care of themselves so that they can do the job for their loved one.”

A news release from JCHD points out caregiving can be providing

emotional or physical assistance to anyone in need, whether it be an older relative, neighbor or a cross-country friend. According to information from JCHD, studies have shown 25 percent of households in the U.S. are involved in caring for an older person.

The health department regularly fields phone calls from people with questions about how to care for family members or others in need, and the Family Caregiver Resource Center has plenty of literature to aid those people.

“So they could call in, and describe what their problems are, what their needs are, and we have a huge resource book that we can give them information of where to go and get additional resources and help that they need,” Schroeder said.

The services offered by the center are meant to enrich the lives of both the caregiver and the one being cared for.

One such service is the respite program, in which a caregiver over the age of 60 may request a nurse to care for their loved one while they do something for themselves, buy groceries or do other errands. Keeping the caregiver’s stress low is imperative to their health and in turn the health of the person for whom they are caring.

The state grant-funded operation also accepts monetary contributions for its services, but does not require them. Those interested in helping with the program or have a skill to offer to the health department may call or visit about how to aid the program voluntarily.

Those looking for assistance in caregiving or interested in the respite program are encouraged to contact the Jersey County Health Department at (618) 498-9565, or by visiting its location at 1307 State Hwy. 109, Jerseyville.

Prevent slips and falls this winter Winter is right around the corner.

That means that most people will be trading in windbreakers and rakes for heavy coats and snow shovels. Winter can be a beautiful time of the year, but the snow and ice that covers the landscape in a pristine sheet of white can present certain hazards as well.

Walking on ice can be extremely dangerous, particularly to those people who already may have mobility issues, such as the elderly. According to the National Safety Council, slips and falls are the single largest cause of emergency room visits. Slip and fall injuries also are the third largest cause of workplace injuries, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Many accidental falls occur from lack of stability or poor physical health.

However, come winter, many falls can be attributed to walking on slippery surfaces covered with snow or ice. To avoid falls on ice, men and women might want to take certain precautions. n Change the way you walk Adapting to the slippery conditions could help prevent some of the falls caused by snow and ice. When walking on ice, plant feet with toes facing

outward slightly, and then shuffle along.

Hunching over a little and extending arms outward will help to lower your center of gravity and also offer a little more stability. Take short, flat steps so that the heels and toes of your shoes stay in contact with the ground as much as possible and offer maximum surface contact.

You should not take large strides or move quickly. This can definitely lead to slips and falls. Rather, leave extra time to get to and fro, especially when walking to mass transit or to and from your car when commuting. n Switch Shoes Flat shoes with rubber soles are more capable of gripping the ice than other types of shoes. Contrary to popular belief, clunky winter boots may make walking more difficult. Try rain boots instead, as rain boots typically have flatter soles. There also are many different types of shoe ice grips on the market that can be added to the soles of shoes.

They easily slip on to offer more traction. Whenever possible, try to avoid shoes with already slippery soles or high heels. Carry these shoes with you and

change after you are inside. n Treat walkways Keeping on top of falling snow can help alleviate slippery walkways. Use a combination of snowmelt and sand so that you can keep sidewalks clear. n Remove shoes indoors Slips and falls can happen inside a home as well. Many people have tile or laminate entryways in their homes, and these entrances can become quite slippery when snow-packed shoes warm up and the snow melts, creating a wet, slick surface. Avoid falls by placing mats by the front door and removing shoes when you enter. Stash a pair of slippers nearby into which you can change. n Pack light Carrying heavy bags can disrupt your center of gravity and contribute to falls.

Whenever possible, travel light or use a backpack to evenly distribute weight to help you walk more easily.

Falls on slippery surfaces can be quite dangerous. Avoid trips to the emergency room for broken bones or abrasions by slowing down, dressing appropriately and walking on paths that have been cleared of snow and ice.

Minimize risk for Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people across the globe. In the United States alone, the Alzheimer's Association estimates one in eight older men and women has the disease, which is the sixth-leading cause of death in the country.

Few families have not been affected by Alzheimer's disease, and many relatives of those with the disease fully understand the role family history can play. Research into the disease is ongoing, and it's already yielded valuable information that may help reduce the prevalence of this devastating disease in the years to come.

One byproduct of researchers' efforts is the discovery that it may be possible to prevent or delay the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease through the implementation of a combination of healthy lifestyle choices. The following are a few healthy habits that may help men and women reduce their risk for Alzheimer's. n Exercise regularly. A study conducted by Scottish researchers and published in the journal Neurology in 2012 touted exercise as the most effective way for adults to protect their brains from Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers examined roughly 700 70-year-old participants, all of whom were born in 1936, who were asked to report their levels of physical activity.

Each participant then received an MRI at age 73. Those tests revealed that the participants who were more physically active showed less brain shrinkage and fewer white matter lesions, both of which are indicators of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation reports that physical exercise reduces a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's by 50 percent and can even slow further deterioration in those who have already begun to develop the cognitive problems associated with Alzheimer's. n Eat healthy. What you put into your body may also reduce your risk for Alzheimer's disease. The brain operates at its best when it is fueled with a healthy diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables, healthy fats and lean protein. A heart-healthy diet is

staying physically active as you age can prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

also brain-healthy, and researchers have found a potential link between heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Researcher Larry Sparks of the Sun Health Research Institute in Arizona and formerly of the Kentucky medical examiner's office studied brain tissues with a goal of finding early signs of Alzheimer's disease. He discovered that those who had the telltale plaques of Alzheimer's disease also had heart disease, suggesting heart disease may be a forerunner of brain diseases like Alzheimer's. More information on a heart-healthy diet is available at www. heart.org. n Stimulate yourself mentally.

Mental stimulation can help the brain stay sharp, and men and women who find ways to stay mentally stimulated can reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's. Embrace activities that require communication and interaction with others, and find time for additional tasks that can stimulate your brain.

These may include studying a foreign language, reading, trying your hand

at mentally stimulating puzzles such as crosswords or Sudoku, and other activities that emphasize organization.

Such activities are essentially workouts for your brain that can help it stay sharp as you age. n Remain socially active. Staying socially active into older adulthood is important for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that research has indicated the brain functions better when men and women are not isolated from others. Memory and cognition are stronger when people remain socially active and engaged in their society, so retirees should look for ways to revive their social lives as a means to protecting their brains from the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia.

Alzheimer's disease remains an enigma in many ways. But ongoing research continues to show that men and women can take measures to actively prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease and improve their quality of life as a result.

Barrow Baptist Church news

Eldred Baptist Church news

Hello from Barrow Baptist Church and church family. Our service times are 9:30 a.m.

Sunday school, followed by 10:30 a.m. morning worship with nursery service available. Our pastor is Bro. Gerald Day and everyone is welcome to either or both services.

On Sunday, Jan. 19 we had 34 attending Sunday school and 43 attending morning worship.

Remember our men and women in uniform and the leaders of our nation in your prayers.

Others to remember include Keith Forrester, Audrey Prather, Maureen Martin, Lucille Seely, Connie Sturgeon, Michael Ryan,

Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace Our church services this Sunday morning, January 19 2014 was filled with the warmth of the beautiful sun and heartfelt laughter with all that attended. We are so blessed in our church.

Our message today was part two of a series of messages from the book of John. “The Light of the World”. John 1: 6-13 The Apostle John introduces to us “The Witness” of the Light.

John the Baptist bears this title and task. John the Baptist was a first hand observer, a witness to testify about the truth of Jesus.

He was to bear witness about the Light. The job of the witness, in this case John the Baptist, is to testify about what he had seen, what he has heard, how he has seen the Light....The same Light that we just read about last week that was the life of man.

To receive this testimony is to believe that Jesus is the Light.

This is what John came to witness and be a witness of..the Light... the Word...God Himself interjecting in His own creation on their behalf to save them. Please come next week to hear continued messages on John first chapter. You would really feel the message and

Reba Hester, Amber Gourley, Merle Howard, Kenny Stice, Karla Cannon, Terri Parker, Ed Crabtree, Susie Kieffer, David Stendeback, Brenda Early, Kathy Ingram, Bethene Hatcher, Kelsey Piper, Larry Minor and the family of Grace George. We want to also keep Walkerville Baptist Church in our prayers as they search for a new minister.

Happy Birthday wishes go to Richard Caskey on Jan. 25. There are no anniversaries to report.

During morning worship Rich Caskey sang another song for us.

That's all for the week. Have a good week and be a friend to someone in need.

Calvary Baptist Church News

Jan. 19. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements: No Tuesday night Bible Study until February. Jan. 26, potluck after morning services.

Feb. 2 Men’s Day. We are filling baby bottles with change for our local Pregnancy Resource Center.

Remember a little spare change can change a life. Sunday school report by Sis Mary. Birthdays: Ferna Snyder, John Renkin Sr. and Brian Gilbert. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led congregation in singing of hymns.

Bro. Brad sang a special, “How Great Thou Art”. Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Molly and Lori as leaders.

Message by Bro. Baxter.

Matthew 2: 12-20. Abortion is a sin against what our Lord teaches us. Babies and all other ages of life are precious to God. Satan used evil men like King Herod to kill children and it is still going on in our world all the time. We are a nation rebelling against God and we will pay the price for our rebellion. God who is our heavenly Father loves us and wants us to do what is good and right.

The way to heal our nation is “if my people who are called by

my name, will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and turn back to God.” Jeremiah 7. God says unless we repent of our wicked ways, and turn to him, he will cast us out of his sight.

Sunday evening: Prayer and singing. Message was I Timothy 4: 1-12. The spirit says that in the latter times some shall depart from faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

Doing evil in the sight of God. We need to set our sights on God and not waver. Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of life that now is and is to come. Keep on keeping on in the faith. Be thou an example to those around you.

Please pray for all churches and pastors, 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.

Charity Southern Baptist Church news Charity Southern Baptist Church invites you to worship with us. Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., church at 10:30. Choir practice Sunday evening at 6, church service at 7. Wednesday night family supper 6 pm, Bible Study 7 pm. If you need a ride to any service, please call Kelly Moore 217-248-0901. Our purpose in our church is to honor God, reach the unsaved, and with our utmost ability and faithfulness promote growth in the Lord. In so doing, we will support fellowship, become alert for new prospects and always work to reclaim inactive members.

This week Brother Rob Smay gave a message from Exodus 33:17-23. In this passage, God makes it very clear to Moses that He is in utmost control. He will show compassion to who He wishes and He will be gracious to who He wishes. We have no room to question His ways. He also assures Moses that He loves him and is pleased by him, so He will grant Moses’ wish and allow Moses to see Him. Moses is protected by God inside the cleft of the rock, a metaphorical Jesus. God takes us all from the grasp of the world and would have us stand on the solid Rock, Jesus, protected by His hand. But Moses stood there in the cleft, guarded

by God’s hand. God shielded Moses from His glory, for His glory is too much for humans to endure, but allowed him to see His back. We would die if we saw

His face. That glory is reserved for us in heaven. Until then, we have Jesus to stand on and to lean on. He is our great strength, our solid rock. We do not get to see God directly. Instead, we get to see Him indirectly through His work and His would is accomplished through us. We are so privileged to get to be His tools, His hands and feet.

We had a special performed

by Linda Davis and Julie George, “Speak To My Heart, Lord Jesus.” Julie George led praise and worship with “I Love You, Lord.”

The “We Care” Food Pantry will be serving this Saturday 25 from 9:3011:30. We will be starting an Experiencing God class during Sunday school. Please see Kelly Moore if you have any questions and/or want to sign up. Baby bottles for the Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center are in the foyer. Please take one, fill it with change and return it in 6 weeks. Thank you!

Please pray for these: Joanne Ford and family, Daryn Huff, Betty Thein, Joanne Ford, Becky Bishop, Bill Loy, Hank Miller’s Family, Kourtnee Stephenson, Bailee Stephenson, Mike and Kathy Scroggins, Ida ChapmanVickroy, Deneen Weber, Denver Davenport, Gladys Cockron’s sister, our unspoken requests, our country, military families, nursing home residents, shut-ins and for our church as we search for a new pastor.

Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor It was a cold day and the wind was so cold. The weather didn’t keep us from having a good service.

Bro. Greg Howard was our preacher and it was truly a good time! His four talented young boys were just great singing. Mrs. Howard, you have done a great job in teaching them. Keep up the good job, boys!

The message was just what we needed. Matthew 11. Keep up the good faith and each one must do his part. We will have services each Sunday. Unless the weather is too bad. This winter has been pretty bad, but we only missed one Sunday and the snow was so bad we couldn’t get through. Our prayer list is Susie Kieffer, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Ray and Patty Baldes, Andy Ross the Grace George family, the Garner family, Gail Ford, Delores Ford. If you missed church we pray you were not sick and pray that we will all be together this coming Sunday. When I looked out over the crowd, I saw so many miracles that we praise God for. If only we could see what God has done and will do. Each one has a place to fill and when you are not there, the services are not the same and you are always sorry what you missed, because when you miss, you miss a real blessing. All blessings from God are great. Someone asked about the Game Supper. Jake has his thinking cap on and I am sure he will come up with something.

The questions were answered real well. The answer to Sunday’s question was, “yes”. The question this week is, “there are two things in the Bible that you are not to eat.

Don’t eat. What are they”. Look in Lev. 7. Read all the way down and you will find. Good reading.

In Luke 17, it tells us that to whom

"And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."

2 Corinthians 3:3

Preach the Gospel Saint Francis is said to have told his followers, paraphrasing our Lord, to preach the gospel everywhere you go, with words if necessary. While this is probably a misattribution, the sentiment is certainly worth bearing in mind. That is, should we not preach the gospel with our actions as much as with our words? Indeed, when deeds and words are not in harmony, people mistrust the words and consider the "preacher" to be a hypocrite. We should be as concerned with our actions as with our words, at least insofar as we hold ourselves up as moral exemplars. And most of us are called to be moral exemplars,

how God works through these messages.

Our church serves a supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 pm 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.

Please put a Save-a-date on your calendar for Sunday, March 2 at noon for our annual Auction & Spaghetti Dinner. It will be held in the Fellowship Hall next door to our church. This is always a fun time. Please try to join us.

Our church is also making a new “Church Directory” and we are looking forward to updating all information. Please let Ruth Adcock (217) 942-3499 or Mary Ellen Reynolds (217) 983-2685 have your correct information.

whether we want this role or not. If you are a parent, you are expected to be a moral example to your children.

Most professions are expected to set an example; we expect preachers, teachers, doctors, pharmacists, bankers, and even athletes to adhere to a high moral code. Just to be a decent human being we must adhere to a high moral code of conduct. So, we should preach the gospel everywhere we go with good moral actions, and don't worry about the words.

– Christopher Simon

much is given is much required.

The more you give, the more you are blessed. If we would read our Bibles and follow the instructions of the Lord, our lives would be less complicated and our health would even be better. Isaiah 58: 13 - Tells us to honor the Sabbath Day. See what happens. I leave you with this in mind. The more strife and anger you stir up, the more sin you will have to answer yourself…because those who stir up strife is of the devil. Proverbs 16 - Kind words will always come back like echoes. It is more useful to exercise your backbone than your jawbone. In your Christian faith, let your walk be consistent with your talk. May the Lord keep you all warm and I pray to see you at church at Walkerville Sunday. Jesus loves you and so do we.

North Greene senior Reed Rusten floats up a shot against Calhoun Saturday at the Winchester Invitational Tournament. The Spartans won the WIT consolation championship after beating Calhoun 68-56. Rusten totaled 17 points in the victory and Connor Vincent scored a game-best 23 with five 3-pointers.

Greenfield-Northwestern's Marc Jennings and Jordan McMillen challenge a Camp Point Central player for the ball Friday at the Winchester Invitational Tournament.

The Tigers lost their first two games of the season and were eliminated in the fifth-place bracket at the WIT, but bounced back to beat Brown County 66-31 Monday in Greenfield. The Tigers (16-2, 2-0 Western Illinois Valley Conference) jumped ahead early and were led by Austin Plogger's game-high 15 points Monday. Dakota Coffey added 13 and Isaac Masters chipped in 11 after finishing the WIT with 72 points through Greenfield-NW's three games in Winchester.

SAM eLLIoTT Greene Prairie Press Greene County rivals Carrollton and North Greene spent the 10 days prior to their regular season matchup closely watching each other play at the Winchester Invitational Tournament.

The familiar foes went back and forth throughout their Western Illinois Valley Conference showdown, but the Hawks remained unbeaten in league play after claiming a 62-55 decision in overtime Tuesday at Carrollton High School.

"We know that you can't afford to slip up in the conference race," Carrollton head coach Jeff Krumwiede said. "You have to treat every night like it's the championship. That's how we focused on this game."

With the teams tied 52-52 through regulation, the Hawks (14-3, 3-0 WIVC) opened overtime on a 6-0 run. Cody Leonard's pair of put-back buckets and two free throws by Cole Brannan put Carrollton ahead 58-52 with 1:45 remaining in overtime.

"Leonard stepped up big in overtime. That crucial first play is so big," Krumwiede said. "Not only did he score, but there were a couple loose balls he was able to gather in and he was relentless on the defensive glass."

The Hawks didn't miss from the free-throw line in six attempts during the overtime period.

Brannan led Carrollton with 14 points — including eight in the fourth quarter and overtime — on 4-of-7 shooting and 6-of-6 free-throw shooting and added seven rebounds.

Leonard totaled 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting and a game-high 15 rebounds.

"That's what makes us 14-3 — we

Carrollton junior Luke Palan is fouled by a Griggsville-Perry defender with 0.4 seconds remaining in overtime Saturday at the Winchester Invitational Tournament. Palan broke the teams' tie by making one free throw and the Hawks took fifth place at the WIT by winning a 41-40 decision. Palan finished with 11 points and Luke Gillingham added 10 to lead Carrollton, who beat West Central 67-50 Friday in a fifth-place semifinal behind Palan's game-high 26 points.

have different heroes," Krumwiede said. "It's a different guy that can step up for us on any given occasion. I thought Brannan and Leonard both had tremendous second halves. I was really proud of them stepping up."

Luke Palan added 13 points, including a key jumper that gave the Hawks a 51-50 lead with 1:16 to play in regulation. Jacob Smith, who finished with 11 points, added one free throw with 40.2 seconds remaining before North Greene drew even to force overtime.

Adam Knox swiped a steal and Logan Ross got ahead for a breakaway layup that tied the game at 52-52 with 32 seconds to play in the fourth quarter.

Sharpshooter Connor Vincent scored a game-high 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting with a pair of 3-pointers to lead the Spartans (8-7, 2-1).

Reed Rusten added 13 points and Nathan Randall was next for the Spartans with nine.

North Greene used an early 13-2 run for a 13-5 lead — the largest of the game — just past the midway point of the first quarter, but Carrollton came back with a 9-1 run to end the first quarter in a 14-14 stalemate.

The Spartans took brief leads in each quarter, but the Hawks quickly answered with runs of their own each time. Vincent gave North Greene its final lead on a jump shot to make it 50-49 with 1:56 to play in regulation.

Vincent sank a 3-pointer with 1:35 remaining in overtime that cut the Spartans' deficit to 58-55, but Carrollton put the game away by protecting the ball with its guard play and successful trips to the free-throw line.

Carrollton will look to stay perfect within WIVC play when the Hawks host Pleasant Hill at 7:45 p.m. Friday at CHS. North Greene visits Brown County at 7:45 p.m. Friday in Mount Sterling. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Carrollton runner-up at Classic The Lady Hawks reached the championship game of the 20th annual Lady Spartan Classic after a 49-41 win against West Central in the semifinals Thursday, but the Carrollton High School girls basketball team was bested by Litchfield 51-31 in the title game Saturday in White Hall.

Carrollton (15-4, 5-1 Western Illinois Valley Conference) was led by all-tournament selections Rachel Williams with 16 points and Patsy Coonrod with six.

Coonrod scored a game-high 17 points as the Lady Hawks beat North Greene 48-44 in a tight WIVC matchup Monday at NGHS. Halie Kraushaar led the Lady Spartans (10-8, 3-3) with 11 points.

North Greene finished sixth in its home tournament after PittsfieldPleasant Hill edged out a 44-41 win in the Classic's fifth-place game Saturday. All-tournament selection Destyne Powell led the Lady Spartans' effort with a game-hightying 11 points.

Greenfield-Northwestern's Megan Bishop was among the all-tournament honorees, as well, after leading the Lady Tigers with a game-high 19 points in a 62-46 win against Routt Saturday at NGHS.
