NGHS discusses weighted grading system

course and all courses designated advance level courses,” Clanton said. “Weighted grade points are the numeric equivalent of a student’s grade in a credit bearing course on a slightly different scale.”

For example, in a regular class an A would constitute 4 points, but in an honors class it would be 5 points.

The same differential applies for B and C grades. However, a D would remain one point on the weighted scale just as it would on a regular scale and an F would be zero points.

“The weighted grade point average (WGPA) is a recalculation of the GPA, substituting weighted grade points for regular grade points earned in courses designated as honors or advanced level,” Clanton said. “ Clanton said this type of procedure is used to determine grade point

North Greene High School Principal Keppen Clanton would like to see the district move to a weighted grading system and asked the North Greene School Board to consider this move at its January meeting.

The theory behind a weighted grade point average (GPA) is that some high school courses are much more difficult than others, and these harder classes should carry more weight when determining the GPA than the easier classes. For example, an A in calculus would carry more weight than an A in algebra.

“Weighted grade points are similar to grade points except that weighted grade points differentiate between regular courses and honors

averages and for reporting them to current and prospective employers and post secondary institutions which require the information as part of the application and admission process.

“We would essentially review our current course offerings and identify those that would be considered advanced level courses which would require a high level of achievement in a sequence of study,” Clanton said.

According to Clanton, the benefits of moving to a weighted system give students the opportunity to choose courses that are more rigorous and challenging, as well as preparing them for college courses and acknowledging those students who are willing to go above and beyond the average skills of a basic curriculum.

“It also sends the message that we want our students to challenge themselves daily versus staying status quo while creating an intrinsic motivation to take on the challenge,” she said.

This would not be the first time North Greene has tried out a weighted system.

“Several years ago NGHS had a weighted curriculum but it became controversial, as it often does, when considering the fine arts and vocational programs that many of our students excel in,” Clanton said. “If we do move forward with this weighted system, we would include the fourth year of these programs as honors courses, insuring these courses contain the necessary rigor and challenge as your standard weighted courses such as physics, calculus, etc.”

The board was supportive of Clanton completing research on the possibility of instituting a weighted system at NGHS. “Their main concern seemed to revolve around the fine arts and vocational curriculum and how we would handle that,” Clanton said.

In other action, the board: n Approved Addie Schutz filling the vacancy as guidance secretary at the junior high-high school effective Jan. 16. n Approved Jeremy Sharrow as volunteer assistant with sixth grade boys basketball. n Approved the seniority list and honorable dismissal list for sharing with union members to identify any anomalies or changes. n Approved facility use requests for fundraising activities.

Council met last week and gave Mayor Tom Martin the go ahead to seek bids for demolition on two properties.

In October, the city purchased nine delinquent parcels within the city, which were auctioned off by the county for delinquent taxes.

“There were quite a few properties on the list, but these properties were dilapidated and no one was going to want them,” Martin said. “We purchased them because we want to see the properties cleaned up and get them back on the tax rolls.”

The first property to be cleaned up was the building next to Karma Klub on the square which was destroyed by fire last year. The city spent $6,100 to have the building torn down, hauled off and the property filled in.

“That building pretty much had to come down at the same time as the Karma Klub because they were holding each other up,” Martin said. “When one came down the other one was going to follow, so when the owner’s insurance took down the bar we had them take down ours at the same time and we saved quite a bit by doing it that way.”

Martin said the committee also discussed the demolition of the building next to Joe’s Pizza. The recent death of the owner of Joe’s Pizza has put the city’s plans for demolition of that building on hold.

“They decided we really should wait and see what they are going to do with that property before we make any plans,” Martin said.

“There is a shared wall between the two buildings, so we will have to work out a deal on the wall with whoever takes over the building.”

The committee authorized Martin to get bids for demolition on the buildings located on the property at 221 W. Bates and 809 W. Day. “Once we have the bids for both properties, they will decide which one they want to start on first,” Martin said.

Carrollton attains Financial Recognition for fourth year in a row

75¢

Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox shared some very good news with the school board at Monday’s meeting. The district is once again being lauded for its financial status.

The district received the preliminary 2014 Financial Profile Designation of “financial recognition” for the fourth year in a row.

“This recognition is an attest to the great work of all staff members who do outstanding work with our students while maintaining attention on the financial impact of resources and supplies necessary for this work,” Dr. Cox said. “Although our overall scored dropped from 3.80 to 3.55, the impact of the score change is three cents per dollar.”

Last year for every dollar collected for revenue, the district spent 98 cents. This year for every dollar of revenue, the district spent $1.01.

“This is not a trend that we want to see increase, but we are very pleased with the recognition from the Illinois State Board of Education for our due diligence with financing within the district,” Dr. Cox said.

Prior to the board meeting a public hearing

was held to inform the public of the intent to submit a request to the ISBEW to waive the administrative cost limitations for the current school year. According to state statute, a school district’s budgeted administrative expenditures cannot increase more than five percent over the prior year’s actual administrative expenditures.

“Our annual financial report shows a 15 percent increase in costs due in part to the payout of unused vacation time to the former superintendent,” Dr. Cox said. “This is a onetime contractually obligated cost which will not occur in the future; therefore, the district is submitting the request to waive this requirement for the school year.”

Technology updates were given by Tech Director Andy Thomas, who reported the new wireless system is working well at the high school, providing greater access for students and staff members.

“This type of system will also be installed at the grade school this spring using Rural Education Achievement Program funds,” Dr. Cox said. “This enhanced access districtwide will provide greater teaching and learning opportunities for our staff and students.”

With the installation of this wireless sys-

tem, the board also approved a new policy addressing students bringing their own technology to the school to utilize.

The district’s RevTrak system is up and running for families to use to make online meal payments for their students, and Thomas demonstrated the simple steps of the process from the district’s website. It will provide families with the convenience of online fee payments to the school.

“Right now this system is being initiated for meal payments only, with potential expansion to many other types of school fees such as registration costs, fundraising activities, etc. during the following school year,” Dr. Cox said.

A convenience fee will be charged for using the system which pays for the cost of the program. This fee was set at $1.50 per transaction for this school year, and information is being mailed to families in the district with additional information.

The board approved the request made by students in Pat Dugas’ engineering class during last month’s meeting to develop the Carrollton Space Mission Project along with a request for funding in the amount of $400 to complete the project.

“This type of inquiry-based student-developed project is exactly what we hope all of our students strive to undertake as a 21st century learner,” Dr. Cox said.

The board approved veterinary science as a new class offering at CHS next year. The high school agriculture class is an applied animal anatomy and physiology course enhancing the agriculture program, and the plan is to offer this course during alternate school years.

The board also approved a summer school proposal from High School Principal Leslee Frazier, which will provide one session of government allowing students more flexibility with their course schedules during the school year by completing the required course over the summer.

The board voted to create the class without any cost to the students if a minimum of 12 students enroll. Class sizes have not been set yet and there is a possibility there will be openings for out-of-district students; however, there will be a yet undetermined fee for these students to take the course.

In other action, the board approved: n Steve Adcock, Koty Garber and Kayce Kraut as volunteer assistant track coaches for this season.

Boyd marks 20 years providing ambulance service

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Feb. 4 will mark a milestone for Boyd Hospital. On this day 20 years ago, Boyd Hospital took over management of the county’s ambulance service.

There have been many changes over the last 20 years and husband and wife paramedics, Bill and Claudia Reagor, have been there and seen them all.

Claudia Reagor has been working with the ambulance for 26 years.

“When I first started working with the ambulance service as an EMT we were a volunteer agency,” Claudia Reagor said. “Each town had at least one ambulance and they depended on volunteers to operate them.”

Boyd Hospital Administrator Deb Campbell said this proved to be a problem for some towns, which fell short on

volunteers.

“The county then decided to try a paid service so they contracted out with Trask in Jerseyville,” Campbell said.

“They had it for a little over a year and it didn’t work out so they gave it back to the county.”

Campbell, who was then director of nursing, said the county had no desire to take over the operation of the ambulance again.

“The county has to have an ambulance service because they receive tax money for it, but they wanted someone else to be in charge of it,” Campbell said. “So, the hospital said we would take it over. It was really a no-brainer because we have the trained staff here, plus it gave us an extra pair of hands, which came in handy in the middle of the night.”

So, in February 1994, Boyd Hospital

took over management of the ambulance service, which brought about some changes. All five of the county’s ambulances were housed at the hospital instead of in White Hall, Carrollton, Roodhouse and Greenfield.

This proved to be an asset at times.

“By having the ambulances and crew here, when a call came in, if there was a bad accident or something, the hospital knew about it and we could call in the doctor and have him here when they arrived,” Campbell said. “It helped us at the hospital be more prepared.”

Things have changed in the last 20 years.

“When we first started it was what we called ‘load and go,’” she said. “The emergency personnel would get to the scene, basically just load the patient in the ambulance and then take off for the (See, boyd, A2) C

Boyd (Continued from A1) hospital – there was very little they could actually do at the scene other than administer oxygen or try to control the bleeding with a bandage.”

That all changed in 2001 when the ambulance began paramedic services.

“It took a while to get to the paramedic stage because we had to get things in order,” Campbell said. “We had to make sure that everything was ready to go with the ambulances and the people were trained.”

A paramedic can give medications, use the cardiac monitor and defibrillate a patient if necessary using electric shock therapy to jump start a patient’s heart, pace the patient’s heart to get it in a regular rhythm, give IV fluids to help stabilize blood pressure, intubate a patient and even help with emergency child birth.

Or course, with greater responsibility comes a need for more education.

“Twenty years ago, to become

a basic EMT, most people took a nine-month course, which was usually offered at the fire department as a way to get people in the community involved and interested,” EMS Director Kris Templin said. “Now, to become a paramedic, you have to take a two-year course at college.”

Ironically, it was a television program that first got Claudia Reagor interested in working with the ambulance service.

“We hadn’t been married too long and we were living in Jacksonville and I started watching the television show ‘Emergency’ about two paramedics who led exciting lives working on an ambulance,” she recalled.

“We both got hooked on the show and while I never wanted to be a nurse, I did find this very interesting.”

Bill Reagor soon followed in his wife’s footsteps.

“I decided to take the class because my son was in Boy Scouts and I figured someone needs to know a little bit about first aid when the boys go out camping,” he said.

“So, I went ahead and took the class

and I got hooked on it like my wife did.”

Both of them had full-time jobs when they first started as volunteers.

“Many a day I would work 6-2 at the envelope factory and then work the 3-11 shift on the ambulance,” Bill Reagor said. “I gave up a job in a factory I had had for 16 years to come down here full time, and we both took pay cuts to come down here. If you would have told me 20 years ago that this was what I would be doing as a living I would have laughed at you.”

Of course, things were a bit different when each community had its own ambulance. Now, instead of volunteers, five full-time paramedics are on staff with the remainder of the schedule filled in with per diem staff.

Campbell said the ambulance service averages around 130 calls a month. She estimates that over the last 20 years the paramedics have made more than 27,600 runs, covering a county which spans 965 square miles.

While many technological

advances have been made over the past two decades, it was something simple that has helped most.

“It seems silly, but one of the things which has helped us most has been caller ID,” Bill Reagor said.

“A lot of times when people call for an ambulance, they are in a state of panic and they might just say something like, ‘I need an ambulance at 116 Maple.’ They forget to tell you which town they are in. Well, with caller ID we have a phone number that we can call if we have that problem. Just a little something like that has made a world of difference.”

While the hospital manages the service, the county owns the ambulances and a new rig was recently initiated in the fleet.

“We try to keep on a rotation of getting a new ambulance every two years,” Campbell said. “We put a lot of rough country miles on these ambulances and when you also consider the transfers between Jacksonville and Springfield and mutual aid calls, they see quite a bit of use.”

Ameren warns consumers of nationwide email scam

A rash of scams are using the Ameren name to dupe consumers nationwide into paying bogus energy bills. Scammers are sending spoofed emails that appear to be requests from Ameren asking recipients to pay unpaid utility bills.

Recipients also are being instructed to open a virus-infected attachment.

Ameren has received calls from residents of several states, including Missouri and Illinois, who have been targeted in the scam. Other utilities throughout the country have reported experiencing a similar email scam.

“Ameren is investigating the situation and working to resolve the

issue,” says Tim Reagan, director of security at Ameren. “If anyone receives this type of email, they should not open any attachments, and should delete the email message immediately.” Reagan added that unless specific information has been requested by a customer, Ameren does not include attachments in its customer emails.

Ameren reminds customers to never give personal or financial information to anyone who calls, sends an email or comes to their homes unannounced. Customers with concerns about their accounts should call Ameren Illinois at (800) 755-5000.

Open registration for adult learners Open registration for the ROE #40’s Adult Education (GED) program is underway for classes in Carlinville, Jerseyville, and White Hall. Classes are free to attend but attendance is mandatory for students who register.

Wednesday January 29, 2014

Calvary Baptist Church news Jan. 19. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements: starting Tuesday, Feb. 4 we will be back to Bible Study at 6 p.m.; potluck after morning services.

Men’s Day has been changed to Feb. 9. Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. business meeting.

Sunday school report by Sis Jeanette. Bro. Brad accompanied

by Sis. Donna led congregation in singing of hymns. Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Sis. Cindy as leader.

Message by Bro. Baxter. Ezekiel 36: 1-30. Because the Israelites had rejected God he allowed them to be shamed and scattered abroad. They were made fun of by the heathen. Sin has a price and it is death. God says he will restore his chosen people and it is happening in the world today.

Through all this ye shall know that I am the Lord. Our country needs to repent and turn back to God. Sunday evening: Prayer and singing. Message by Bro. Baxter. Ezekiel 36: 16-38. Our God is very faithful and he loves us. Our rights come from God, so man cannot take them away. Man was created in God’s image. He knows us from the time

of conception. Look at our culture that says they will do as they please.

Our country was founded upon God and it says on our money “In God we trust:. Do we truly trust in God? In these scripture verses God restored the desolate places. God had pity for his holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen. I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake and I will sanctify my great name. God says he will cleanse them and give them a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you. I will cause you to walk in my statutes. You shall be my people and I will be your God. Please pray for Calvary Church, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the lost, the sick, the bereaved, the homeless, 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.

Greenfield First Baptist Church news Greenfield First Baptist Church The service on Jan. 26, 2014 started with announcements, a time of worship, and the invocation. Pastor John led the congregation during a time of prayer.

Please continue to pray for the long term prayer list: AWANA, Marty Albrecht, Bonnie Ballard, Janet Barren, Dan Bauer, Tom Benz, Kobe Brannan, Shannon Burch, Marvin Cline, Jean Coats, Becky Cochran, Roland Custer, Debbie Dirksmeyer, Brenda Early, JoAnn Ford, Anne George, Matt Harpole, Bob Harr, Rex Harr, Margaret Henson, Ralph Henson, Gary Jacobs, Mary Jennings, Jeff Johnson, John Kittselman, Patty Knittel, Rae Lomelino, Lindell Mesey, Caroline Moran, Roger Moss, Tim Moulton, Teresa Newell, Logan Nobis & his mother, Aspyn Pate, W.D. Pembrook, Bob Plogger, Hadley Ruyle, Joy Settles, Luke & Sokha Smith, David Stendebach, Shirley Suttles, Betty Thein, Bobbi Jo Waters, Kloe Wilkinson; and our shutins: Louis Baldes, Maxine Booth, Mary Borcky, Pearl Burnett, Mable Cole, Dorothy Converse, Eileen Scott, and Jolleen Scott.

Pastor John brought the message “Christ is Supreme”, Colossians 1:15-23. Notice that Christ was there at the beginning. That means Jesus was a cocreator with God. That also means everything belongs to Him and is for His pleasure. He is ahead or before all things and Jesus is the one who holds them all together.

This, of course, means that He is the head of the church.

Ephesians 5:23, says the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church; meaning He is in charge of everything at church, or is He? We must be careful how we act, for this is not ours to mess up, but Christ’s. What would Christ do if He was here right now? Would He be pleased with our worship?

I am not talking about our singing but the state of our hearts. Is our intent to focus on God and encourage others to do the same?

Would He be pleased with our devotion to prayer?

Knowing and acknowledging our need to be plugged into the power source. Thanking him and having a grateful heart as we tell Him His Worthiness over and over again. Would He be pleased with how we long to hear His voice and study God’s Word to better understand His will? Are we listening or reading God’s Word at all outside of church? Do we have a hunger to learn more about God and spend time with Him? Would He be pleased with our attention to the preaching of God’s Word

and the way we allow the Holy Spirit to touch our hearts? Or are you thinking about your plans for the rest of the day, this week, worrying about a problem, or too busy watching a clock (thinking the pastor is long winded) to hear God speak?

Jesus was literally God in the flesh while on this earth. Jesus said that he is above everything else in our lives. That includes work, family, car, house, wants, needs, life itself. This is the hard teaching of Jesus and the hard act of total surrender and obedience to Him. I believe God still wants us to enjoy our relationships here on earth, but keep them in perspective of who needs to have the number 1 relationship in your life.

Do we acknowledge Jesus before others? Do you claim to have Him in your hearts and that He is guiding your lives? These are the truthful words of Jesus as he speaks to His disciples, his closest followers, before He sends them out. We all were once enemies of God. What does an enemy of God look like?

Christ’s physical death brought about reconciliation with God through His blood washing over our sins. Now we are different and new. Now we are forgiven and changed. Now we are reborn and live a new life. God has given us everything we need for Christ to reign supreme in our lives.

The Holy Spirit is inside of you transforming your heart and renewing your mind. But it takes us willing to listen and obey that Holy Spirit. It takes us not conforming to the pattern of this world or the way we used to do things or the way things just are.

That is our part to do, to not give up on God. Even though things can look bleak, remember the promises of His Word from Ezekiel. We have a hope of a new life in this world and the next one. We have God’s promise to walk with us and help us in the journey through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Now, we have to be willing to claim that Jesus is indeed supreme and submit our life to him. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Jesus shows us how to do this with a very simple, yet extremely hard prayer. Luke 22:42, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” John the Baptist put it this way in John 3:30, “He must become greater; I must become less.” Are you up for the challenge?

Walkerville Baptist Church news Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor It was a beautiful day! Sunshine, temperature in the 50’s, but before 4 o’clock it was in the 30’s. By Monday morning it was 0. Nature has away of winning because we just can’t get ahead of it. Spring will come. It won’t be long before Groundhog Day. We shall see. We had a really good group at church with David Slagal as speaker. A real good message. He will speak for us for the next three weeks.

What is a real sincere prayer? Are we sincere when we pray. Try and count how many kinds of prayer there are.

Our prayer list is Kerry page, Jane Smith, Vera Sprong, Debbie Sprong, McClenning family, Gail Ford, Todd Wyatt family, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Peggy Ridenbach, we missed you if you weren’t in church and you missed being with God’s people and a good fellowship. Also remember Brenda Early in your prayers.

The questions were answered real well. So glad others are reading the Bible more. Keep it up and this week read Daniel 4. What hap-

pened to Nebuchadnezzar after he threw the three men in the furnace and they walked out? He was sent somewhere for seven years and what happened to him. You will want to read on and on. The answer to this week’s question, which was, “what are we not to eat at all?”

Blood and fat. Patty got it right off.

God going patty, No one would even try to spell the Kings name, not even the speaker. We will see if anyone can get this week’s.

Remember that pouring perfume on a pig won’t make it a lady.

Why change your image unless you first change you life? Like a muscle, faith must be exercised to be strong. This is the reason for the challenges in your life. People who disguise their diseases and hurts, cannot expect to be cured. Seek God’s council for the challenges of being a child of God. His anger is but for a moment. His favor is for life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, Psalm 30: 5. If you were not at church then maybe I will see you in church Sunday. Jesus loves you and so do we.

Eldred Baptist Church news Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace Our church services this Sunday morning, January 26, 2014 was filled with the wonderful Grace of Jesus.

Laughter and fellowship with all that attended. We are so blessed in our church.

Our message today was part three of a series of messages from the book of John. “The Revelation of Grace”.

John 1: 14-18 The Apostle John introduces the Messiah in three very specific movements. We have learned about the Eternal God of all creation (vs.15) The Light of man (vs. 6-13) and today the Manifestation of Grace (vs.

14-18). Today, Pastor Don told us the story of John Newton, a Slave Trader who turned his world around when he understood that Grace is something God gives us even though we don’t deserve it. Thus, Mr. Newton wrote the wonderful hymn “Amazing Grace”. Titus 2:11 The Grace of God has appeared bringing salvation... training us to renounce ungodliness and training us to live Godly lives.

Everything we have we owe to God’s Grace. Everything we can do, we owe to God’s Grace. Everything we think we owe to God’s Grace and everything we are, we owe to God’s Grace. 1 Corinthians 15:10 “But by the Grace of God I am what I am..I worked hard than any of them..but it wasn’t me working..But the Grace of God that is with me.”

What is Grace? Unmerited Favor...giv-

ing you something you don’t deserve... you didn’t earn it.. Grace is a gift from God..totally free! Read John 1:16-17.

Yes, God’s Amazing Grace is for all of us truly who have accepted Jesus in our hearts. Come and listen to our Pastor Don give us the message & then you would really feel the message and 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 am. Our Sunday services include Sunday School at 9 am and regular services at 10 am. Our services are always open, please come and join us.

Our church is so very blessed to have Don Carpenter and his family being a very special part of Eldred Baptist Church.

Greenfield United Methodist Church news Tim Gossett, Pastor We have flipped the calendar to another year; 2014. Remember back to the year 2000 when people were concerned over changing to a new century? How would computers and technology handle the change? 19xx to 2000?

With all the modern technology and conveniences we have in our lives today; all the changes that have taken place in our lifetime, it is comforting to know that there is one thing that remains constant and will never change. The one thing is God’s love of humankind.

We are created in the image of God to be in relationship with God. And with any relationship we show our love and affection for the other person. God’s unconditional love for us is like no other love we will experi-

ence. While our love for God and for our fellow humans is often tainted with conditions. How many times have you entered a relationship wondering “What am I going to get out of the relationship? Instead of “What do I have to offer the relationship?”

That is how many enter their relationship with God. Instead of seeking ways to serve God, sharing his unconditional love, individuals expect God to serve them. And when they don’t receive what they expect they give up on God and the relationship God wants with each of us.

With Valentine’s Day approaching let us be mindful of the relationship we build with each other based on God’s unconditional love. But more importantly let us be mindful of the relationship we have with God. While human love may fail, God’s love never fails.

As temperatures drop and the annual hibernation routine begins, we start using heating appliances such as the furnace, fireplace, and space heaters for the first time in months. To avoid potential hazards, check every autumn that these are in still in good condition and follow precautions for proper use.

CSA Group, a leader in public safety and testing and certification, offers the following safety tips for keeping warm on cold days: Furnace: n Have a qualified heating contractor perform a yearly maintenance check of your furnace and venting system. n Clean or replace your furnace filter frequently during the heating season. n Keep the immediate area free of obstructions to ensure free air flow. n Look for a certification mark such as the CSA star mark on your gas-fired furnace to ensure it has been tested and certified to the applicable standard. n Don't store combustible materials such as paper, chemicals, paint, rags and cleaning products close to your gas furnace.

Gas fireplace: n Check that the glass panel is intact. Do not use your gas fireplace if the glass panel is removed, cracked or broken. Glass panels and frame assemblies should only be replaced by a qualified service person. n Check for the mark of an accredited certification organization, such as the star mark from CSA Group when purchasing a gas fireplace.

Space heaters:

n Check for wear on the electrical cord. If it's damaged, replace the entire unit or have the cord replaced by a qualified repair person. n Keep it clean by dusting or vacuuming it regularly. Always turn the unit off first. n Keep the heater clear of furniture, rugs and drapes to allow free air movement and avoid overheating. n Look for certified third-party verification marks like CSA Group's certification mark. This shows that the heater complies with recognized safety standards. n Turn the heater down or off before going to sleep and keep it out of pathways and well away from bedding and clothes. Turn it off when leaving the house. n Install a smoke alarm in the room with the space heater. n Have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed throughout the home.

You can find more safety tips at www.csaholiday.com.

Stay safe with supplemental heating this winter season When the weather begins to grow cold, individuals turn to supplemental forms of heat for a variety of reasons. The rising cost of home ownership as well as escalating fuel prices often set people on a search for the least expensive and most efficient ways to keep comfortable during the cold weather season. Space heaters, wood-burning stoves and fireplaces are among the more common and popular supplemental heating sources.

The same heating sources that can be cost-effective and safe when used correctly can become hazardous when safety guidelines are not followed. The National Fire Prevention Association states that in 2010 heating equipment was involved in an estimated 57,100 reported home structure fires in the United States alone, resulting in 490 deaths, 1,540 injuries and $1.1 billion in direct property damage. These fires accounted for 16 percent of all reported home fires.

In an effort to prevent property damage or loss of life, homeowners should follow the safety guidelines that come with a supplemental heating device. Also, simple steps can prevent fire and injury. n Test smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are in proper working order. Should a malfunction of a heating appliance occur or a fire start, a smoke alarm could be your first indicator of a problem. n Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from any heating equipment, including a furnace, a wood stove, portable space heaters, or a fireplace. n Consider the use of a gate or another obstruction to keep children and pets several feet away from a space heater or another appliance that can easily be knocked over. n Never use fuel-burning appliances without proper room venting to the outdoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Fuel includes everything from wood to gas to oil. n Only use the fuel recommended by the product manufacturer. n When making a fire in a stove or fireplace, never use flammable liquids to start or accelerate the fire. n A wood-, pellet- or coal-burning stove should be burned very hot at least twice a day for about 30 minutes to reduce the creosote buildup in the chimney or flue. n Chimneys should be professionally cleaned at the beginning of each use season to ensure there is nothing lodged within that can catch fire. n Do not use an oven to heat the home while it is in the "on"position.

You can leave the oven door open after cooking is finished so that residual heat can enter the kitchen, provided pets and children are kept away. n Electric space heaters should

be kept away from walls, curtains and furniture. Many now feature tipover safety features that will turn the unit off should it be tipped over.

However, it is always adviseable to use a space heater on a level, sturdy surface that is away from foot traffic in the room. n Any stationery space heating equipment or HVAC system should be installed by professionals and inspected so that it adheres with local building codes. This is to ensure your safety as a homeowner. n Use safety screens in front of fireplaces to prevent sparks from escaping. n Make sure the damper is open every time you light a fire.

Before investing in a heating unit, homeowners should consider adding more insulation to homes or caulking drafty windows and doors as a method to warming a home.

Whether out of necessity or just to provide an added measure of warmth to a home, many people use supplemental heating appliances frequently during the winter. Emphasizing safety when using such devices can prevent many of the fire hazards associated with these devices.

The Age of Anxiety We live in perilous times. Rogue states with chemical or atomic weapons, fanatical terrorist groups spreading fear and hatred across the globe, and technology that changes too quickly for anyone to keep up with it are all part of our modern world. Our fears are stoked by the modern media's 24/7 news cycle and its insistence that something terrible is just around the corner. Even those who are not particularly tuned into the news are anxious; there is a certain anxiety that comes with our modern technology. The noise of the cell phone ringing is like an alarm going off and it's often just as startling. The ping of your computer telling you that you have a new message pushes the

same anxiety button, and since our phones allow us to be constantly connected we are now living constantly with alarms, buzzers and a sense of time urgency. So, what can we do about all of this? A first step might be to choose more soothing ring tones or just to turn the computer and phone off for extended periods of time. We should also take time out of our busy schedules for solitude and quiet time, a time when we might commune with God or nature and our souls can be at rest. God does not want us to be anxious; be in His presence and trust in the Lord.

How well do you know the flu?

About half of US adults incorrectly believe that antibiotics or flu vaccines will treat the flu, according to a new survey from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID). The good news is that two-thirds of those surveyed know that people should be vaccinated against the flu each year.

"It is reassuring that individuals recognize the importance of receiving an annual vaccination but that's not enough," says Dr. Susan J. Rehm, NFID medical director. "To help keep influenza out of homes, schools, and workplaces, everyone six months and older should get vaccinated and contact their doctor when experiencing flu symptoms. Remember Flu F.A.C.T.S.: Fever, Aches, Chills, Tiredness, and Sudden onset, to help determine if your symptoms are flu related."

According to the CDC, the most important step in protecting against the flu is getting an annual flu vaccine. Also, when viruses are circulating, everyday preven-

tative actions (like washing your hands and covering your cough) can stop the spread of viruses.

Once you are infected with the flu virus, vaccination and hand washing will not stop the virus from replicating. Antibiotics won't help either, as they fight against bacterial infections. If you get the flu, a doctor can prescribe medicines to help treat the flu.

Flu spreads quickly and easily from one person to the next.

Anyone can become sick and experience serious complications.

Watch "Freddie the Flu Detective" identify flu symptoms in a new public service announcement from NFID. Protect yourself this flu season, get vaccinated. To help your children learn flu-fighting habits, download a free "Freddie the Flu Fighter" coloring book at FluFACTS.com or nfid.org.

Flip-flops and snow don't mix: Winter foot-health advice The holidays are over, but most regions of the country face a few more months of winter. Whether you're slogging through deep snow and sub-zero temperatures in the north, or contending with dampness, chill and muddy conditions in the south, it's important to take care of your feet all winter long. You'll want them to be healthy and ready for action when spring finally arrives.

Most Americans will have walked 75,000 miles by the time they turn 50, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Is it little wonder, then, that the APMA's 2010 foot health survey found that foot pain affects the daily activities - walking, exercising or standing for long periods of time - of a majority of Americans?

"Each season presents unique challenges to foot health," says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and APMA president. "Surveys and research tell us that foot health is intrinsic to overall health, so protecting feet all year long is vital to our overall well-being."

The APMA offers some advice for keeping feet healthy in common winter scenarios: n Winter is skiing and snowboarding season, activities enjoyed by nearly 10 million Americans, according to the National Ski Areas Association. Never ski or snowboard in footwear other than ski boots specifically designed for that purpose. Make sure your boots fit properly; you should be able to wiggle your toes, but the boots should immobilize the heel, instep and ball of your foot. You can use orthotics (support devices that go inside shoes) to help control the foot's movement inside ski boots or ice skates. n Committed runners don't need to let the cold stop them. A variety of warm, light-weight, moisture-wicking active wear available at most running or sporting goods stores helps ensure runners stay warm and dry in bitter temperatures. However, some runners may compensate for icy conditions by altering how their foot strikes the ground.

Instead of changing your footstrike pattern, shorten your stride to help maintain stability. And remember, it's more important than ever to stretch before you begin your run.

Cold weather can make you less flexible in winter than you are in summer, so it's important to warm muscles up before running. n Boots are must-have footwear in winter climates, especially when dealing with winter precipitation. Between the waterproof material of the boots themselves and the warm socks you wear to keep toes toasty, you may find your feet sweat a lot. Damp, sweaty feet can chill more easily and are more prone to bacterial infections. To keep feet clean and dry, consider using foot powder inside socks and incorporating extra foot baths into your foot care regimen this winter. n Be size smart. It may be tempting to buy pricey specialty footwear (like winter boots or ski boots) for kids in a slightly larger size, thinking they'll be able to get two seasons of wear out of them. But unlike coats that kids can grow into, footwear needs to fit properly right away.

Properly fitted skates and boots can help prevent blisters, chafing and ankle or foot injuries. Likewise, if socks are too small they can force toes to bunch together, and that friction can cause painful blisters or corns.

Finally - and although this one seems like it should go without saying, it bears spelling out - don't try to tip-toe through winter snow, ice and temperatures in summerappropriate footwear.

"More than one news show across the country aired images of people in sneakers, sandals and even flip-flops during the severe cold-snap that hit the country in early January," Garoufalis says. "Exposing feet to extreme temperatures means risking frostbite and injury. Choose winter footwear that will keep your feet warm, dry and well-supported."

Hospital, IMA plan Make Makethe themove move in in 2013 2013 to Jerseyville Estates Jerseyville Estates for summer merger By roBert lyons Campbell Publications Historically vital to each other’s success, Jersey Community Hospital and Illini Medical Associates are planning to merge this summer and continue as a single operation into the future.

Leaders from both groups say the move will not only ensure both survive the rapidly changing healthcare arena, but will allow them to flourish.

The two have long shared a relationship, with the Jerseyville IMA office sharing a parking lot with JCH. Dr. Michael McNear, CEO at IMA, said the services offered at IMA and JCH are natural complements to each other, but the merger will improve communication and coordination between the formerly two separate entities.

“By our physicians being more involved here at the hospital, our goal is for both organizations to make sure we’re hitting the highest quality patient safety and patient satisfaction,” McNear said. “[Patients] will notice the improved quality and the improved safety, and the better all-around experience they’re going to have, whether it’s in the hospital or in the clinic. I think if you ask people in six months to a year, they’re going to say ‘Yeah, there’s definitely a big difference that took place.’”

JCH CEO Jon Wade said the merger is not a cost-cutting measure, rather it helps streamline the delivery of healthcare to area residents.

“We’re not going to save

THANK YOU

money. What we do as an organization is we solidify what we see as our market share, No. 1,” Wade said, noting the medical specialties offered by the hospital will be supported by IMA’s physicians. “Down the road, I don’t expect us to make many mistakes with directions we take as long as we’re in a good dialogue and doing it together. They [IMA] really have a pulse of what the community needs.”

Aside from offering a more quality and attractive service for patients, the monetary benefit for both groups comes through collaboration of such things as electronic record filing, billing and medical supply purchases. Wade and McNear said jobs are not being jeopardized by the merger.

“We really do not overlap.

There isn’t an area, I can think of, where we would duplicate that person’s job,” Wade said.

McNear said many independent hospitals and physicians groups are struggling with constantly evolving mandates and reforms, as well as recruiting new physicians, especially in the rural setting. He said there is a shortage of young doctors willing to practice in small towns.

“One of the biggest problems that we run into is that if we have one candidate that we’re really interested in, they may look at joining us or they look at joining a large health system in Springfield or St. Louis. The money those systems are able to offer them to start out is well above what we can,” McNear said.

Wade said even without a rela-

tionship with IMA, it is imperative to the hospital’s existence that there be quality physicians available to the community. He said the merger should help make that happen.

“Illini has a pretty good model and philosophy that is generated from their owners in the way they see the world and what can motivate some physicians. We’re more in a capacity to fund it, probably,” Wade said.

Prior to deciding on the agreement with JCH, McNear said IMA was considering either maintaining its independence or possibly joining an existing healthcare system. Wade said the latter could have been a blow to the hospital.

“Had they gone with a system, it would not have been in this community. I would worry about what that looks like for all of us,” Wade said.

Because JCH is not-for-private and IMA is a private enterprise, there have been discussions with legal departments from both entities to ensure the transition is completed appropriately.

“We’re going to pick a group as a third party that’s going to analyze this relationship so we don’t do anything wrong,” Wade said, noting unlike the hospital’s recent decision to end its maternity services, no state approval is necessary.

IMA operates nine clinics throughout Macoupin, Greene, Calhoun, Madison, Morgan and Jersey counties. McNear said IMA will continue to foster strong relationships with the local hospitals in each of those communities.

CHS greenhouse transformation completed

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton High School agriculture teacher Christie Joehl unveiled the newly redone greenhouse to the Carrollton School Board at the Jan. 21 regular meeting.

The district received a $10,000 grant from the Monsanto Corporation to be used in restoring the rather “dilapidated” structure which had become basically unusable because of its state of disrepair.

“Honestly, I had forgotten how bad it looked until I saw these pictures,” Joehl said as she presented a power point presentation on the renovations. “There were trees growing up and the plastic falling down along with the walls separating from the inside.”

Joehl said the former administration had suggested tearing down the current structure and purchasing a new smaller one.

“Their idea was to buy a 12-foot by 24-foot greenhouse to replace this one, but that would be very, very small,” Joehl said. “My husband, Regan, and I started thinking we could probably keep the frame and make a much larger greenhouse and better utilize the funds on a more serviceable greenhouse.”

This is exactly what they did.

With the help of Joehl’s ag class, the remodeling started at the beginning of the school year. The students started tearing down the old structure in August.

“I’m not sure I have ever seen a greenhouse with plywood and siding on it before, but that was what was on the ends,” Joehl said. “They got it cleaned out and then the shock factor set in – now what do we do? We decided to poor concrete footing on the bottom, leaving an aisle of ship rock which would sit under the benches for the water to drain.”

They actually had extra money left over from the grant so it was decision time.

“We weren’t sure if we should build a stand alone shed or extend the greenhouse,” Joehl said. “We ended up extending the greenhouse an extra 24 feet which will give us a lot more space.”

The greenhouse is covered with two layers of plastic and instead of the old wood and siding, the ends have been replaced with clear polycarbonate sides to

Kerry Cox Carrollton Superintendent interior which run continuously to circulate the air in addition to two large exhaust fans. Heat is distributed throughout the greenhouse instead of just in one area, which left the back cold.

Two items that remained in the greenhouse after its transformation are two large grow-lights.

“These are $250 lights and I’m not really sure why they were in the old greenhouse, but we liked them,” Joehl said. “We can grow plants 24 hours a day with these

lights on.”

The additional 24 feet is currently being used for storage, but Joehl has plans for that area, too.

“I have applied for a grant to hopefully allow us to get an aquaponics system, which we would put in the additional space in the back,” Joehl said. “I think the cost is around $5,000 for the system, but I have applied for a grant to help with the cost, so hopefully we will get it.”

Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics which are both very efficient ways of producing fish and plants.

Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox said the transformation is simply amazing.

“I have driven by the greenhouse every day and I’ve seen it come along from start to finish,” Dr. Cox said. “But what is really amazing is when you look at the before and after photos. The transformation from the outside is pretty impressive, but when you go inside – wow!”

Dr. Cox also gave praise to Joehl’s husband, Regan.

“I just want to recognize Regan for his volunteer services on everything he has helped with,” Dr. Cox said. “I know he has 106 documented hours that he has donated, which has saved the district quite a bit of money and allowed those funds to be put into the greenhouse.”

GREENFIELD NEWS

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Where did they go? My mother’s beautiful Royal Charter Oak cooking range - I remember sitting beside my mother on the floor while she sang about her love for God as she polished the chrome legs of that blue stove. I grew to dislike that stove for it was the contraption that made her so tired; fry chicken, bacon, eggs, roast beef, bake bread, rolls, biscuits and pies. Mother was a good cook - consequently we had relatives and their friends to dine. I remember standing on a chair at an early age peeling onions, cleaning lettuce, radishes, setting the table and doing dishes. I made up my mind that when I grew up I would not be the perfect hostess.

After marriage, I changed my mind and enjoyed every minute of entertaining especially the impromptu parties at Avon, Weight Watchers, church and when I taught school. Using the assistance of the deli at Meehan’s Dusty and I were able to host a 75th birthday anniversary for neighbors and family to celebrate the 75th birthday of Melba Love Robinson in June 2002.

Where did the walnut handle of the sad irons on the range go? The pie pans? The teakettle of copper and the copper boilers? Where did the time go during all the cooking for aunts, uncles, cousins, brother and wife and friends? The Lord blessed me to be with Mildred Melvin and Alta Steckel at Barton Stone before their passing into Glory.

A heroine of mine - Barbara Stuck graduated from the University of Illinois. She took courses in Engineering. Her family home was two miles north of 108. When it was being constructed her mother and neighbor ladies cooked for the men. During WWII Barbara went to Germany where she drafted maps for our soldiers. She married a man from the state of New York by the name of Albrecht. He was an Engineer of Construction of highways.

They chose Carrollton to be their retirement home. She became bored with traveling -wrote books and taught Remedial Reading in the Carrollton school system.

After the death of her husband Barbara moved to Bethalto to be near brother George and Kathryn Stuck. They came up to the farm

twice a week. Barbara taught crafts and square dance at a nearby nursing home. Lo and behold two of her students were Greenfield’s Dick and Lois Holenbach Wylder.

They had attended and graduated from GCHS with Barbara. The Wylders were devoted members of St. Michael’s Catholic church and taught in country schools. I believe Bob Ford remembers Dick teaching Burroughs. Louis taught at Douglas. The Stuck family were member of St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Hagaman. The last time I spoke with Barbara on the phone the Big Apple was descending in New York and she related the trips she and her husband had made. She rode with Dale and me to the burial of our cousin Nina Blue Hill in Springfield.

Yesterday Mable Batty Cole told me that her friend Susan Flynn had new baby pigs. This may turn into a railroad farm or tie-up with Avon mixed with religion.

When John Norris Sr. (d) came to Rockbridge to work for Walter Fillagher one of his first business trips was to the Rockbridge CB&Q depot to meet my husband Dale Hammon (d) who was Engineer of Maintenance of Way from Winchester to East Alton. The CB&Q Railroad ran through Fillagher ground and Dale and his men maintained the fence, which was marked with a CB&Q metal tag. Henry Clowers was telegrapher. Anne Dickman was Postmaster, Rolly Ruyle and B. Scandrett were rural Mail Carriers, Reed Tendick - Mayor.

For my “Door Knocker” pin with Avon I knocked on each door. I sold by appointment. The Norris family lived north of Rockbridge at that time. One morning Nancy waved me down with an Avon. She said, “I am out of Rich Moisture Face Cream, astringent, family bubble bath, no tears shampoo, toothbrushes, and we all need hairbrushes.” I still use the Cameo hairbrush like the set I sold Nancy for her mother.

Nancy’s mother married Mr. Walter Fillagher. John Norris Sr. was manager of the Fillagher estate.

Happy birthday to Logan Fields of Jerseyville. Laura Mauk of Sunset Lake, Girard and Trudy Cole of Carlinville.

‘Til next time!

n Medical costs: Private insurance or government-sponsored programs likely won't cover all of your medical costs, which typically increase as a person ages. There are various ways to prepare for the medical costs that might arise during retirement, and the earlier you start that preparation the less stressful paying for medical care as you age figures to be.

Retirement should be an exciting time for men and women, especially for those who have spent years planning their retirement to ensure it's as enjoyable as possible.

CLAIM NOTICE

Though many people are delaying retirement, the day will still come when they leave their jobs behind and retire.

Retirement can be a difficult adjustment that takes some getting used to, but it can also prove an exciting time, especially for those who planned ahead to ensure their retirement was a time to be cherished and not feared.

Whether retirement is right around the corner or still a decade or so away, men and women should consider several factors to make sure their retirement years are an enjoyable time that allows them to live life to the fullest. n Income: Just because you're no longer working doesn't mean you won't have income. Government benefits, retirement accounts and perhaps even some light consulting work are just a few ways retirees can earn an income.

Though your retirement income will likely pale in comparison to your income as an adult working full-time, estimate what that income will be so you can get at least an idea of how much will be coming in each month. n Monthly expenses: Once you have an idea of what's coming in, estimate how much will be going out each month. Certain costs associated with working, such as the cost of commuting and maintaining a professional wardrobe, can be removed from the ledger. But other expenses, including utilities, car payments and possibly even a mortgage payment, will still need to be made. Once you have an idea of your projected income and your expenses during retirement, you can get to work on a prospective budget to show you what you will need to live on during retirement. n Employment: Many people now look at retirement as the end of one career and the beginning of another.

As retirement draws closer, men and women might want to consider turning an interest or passion into a second career. Such a move might make retirement more exciting while removing some of the fear of finding enough things to pass the time that many people have with regard to retirement. n Relocation: Where to spend your retirement years is another thing to consider before the big day arrives. Do you, like many retirees, prefer to stay in your own home?Do you want to relocate to a warmer climate or move to another country? Do you want to move closer to your children and grandchildren? Do you want to split your time in separate cities? Is a retirement village something you might be amenable to?

Each of these options is different, and each requires a different financial commitment, so carefully consider where you want to spend your retirement and then consider how you can make those wishes a reality.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO YOU and each of you that suit entitled as above has been commenced and is now pending against you and other persons wherein Plaintiff, GREENE County, as Trustee, seeks to quiet title to the real property identified under GREENE County, Illinois, Parcel No. 08-22-18-316-002 & 08-22-18-316003 .

SAM ELLIoTT Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton High School girls basketball team got revenge for one of its prior losses and clinched a spot in the semifinals of the 40th annual Lady Hawk Invitational with a 49-45 win against Alton Monday in Carrollton.

"The last time we played Alton was probably our worst defensive outing of the year," Lady Hawks head coach Brian Madson said. "I knew our potential was a lot better than what we showed. I kept telling the girls we’ve got to pound it inside and use our strengths."

Carrollton played to its strengths inside the lane near the basket and had successful outside shooting open things up even more as the Lady Hawks never trailed and led by as many as 16 points midway through the second quarter.

Junior Rachel Williams led all scorers with 22 points on 10-of-14 shooting.

"Rachel came alive," Madson said.

"She really stepped up during the North Greene tournament and I'm hoping it's just starting to click for her."

Classmate Madison Mountain scored 10 of her 14 points in the first half and missed just once in six field goal attempts. Overall, the Lady Hawks finished with 52-percent shooting from the field.

"Our outside shooting has come a long way even since Christmas.

[Mountain] has a lot more confidence, she's not thinking twice about it and if she's open, she's taking it," Madson said. "Madison Mountain was our spark plug. When

she went out, that's when Alton made their big run."

With Mountain on the bench with two fouls, Alton closed the first half on a 9-0 run to cut Carrollton's lead to 29-23 at halftime.

The Lady Redbirds got within three points of Carrollton four times in the second half and got as close as two points from the lead with 5:25 to play, but Mountain and Williams responded with back-toback buckets to keep Alton at bay.

Maddie Struble added 11 points for the Lady Hawks while Patsy Coonrod chipped in two points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Carrollton (17-4) will face top-seeded Civic Memorial (21-2) in the tournament's semifinals at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at CHS. "CM is going to be tough. They're definitely the team to beat here," Madson said. "We're going to throw everything we have at them."

The Lady Hawks won a 58-17 decision in their first-round matchup against Greenfield-Northwestern Saturday. Williams scored a game-best 17 points, Mountain added 14, Coonrod scored 10 and Struble chipped in nine.

The Lady Tigers bounced back to beat Routt 35-33 Monday and will face Brussels in a consolation semifinal at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Greenfield-NW was kept scoreless through the first quarter and trailed by as many as 19 points in the second, but closed the half on an 11-4 run to cut its deficit to 27-15 at halftime. Routt was limited to just six points in the second half.

"The girls bunkered down and we're very proud of them for the

way they fought back," head coach Caleb Williams said. "They never gave up. The whole second half, we looked pretty sharp and were calmed down. That made a big difference."

Four Lady Tigers starters were charged with two fouls each in the first quarter alone. They each had three fouls six minutes into the second half and played the final four minutes with four fouls each.

Megan Bishop led Greenfield-NW with 11 points and gave the Lady Tigers their first lead of the game with 2:11 to play. Elizabeth Hall and Maddie Coates were next with seven and five points, respectively. selliott@campbellpublications.net
