Fire destroys trailer in Roodhouse By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Roodhouse fire officials are still trying to determine the cause of a mid-afternoon fire that completely destroyed the home of Lacey and Scotty Thompson Sunday afternoon. According to Roodhouse Fire Chief Terry Hopkins, his department was paged out at 3:09 p.m. to 715 W. Clay St. to a structure fire. “When we got there, which was about five minutes later, the trailer was already fully involved,” Hopkins said. “We have still not determined what caused it because there was no one at home at the time.” The fire was called in to the fire department by a passer-by, CJ Maxon, a friend of the family. “I was dropping my trash off, and I saw smoke over there so I drove over there thinking maybe he was burning trash,” Maxon said. “I get over there, and the whole thing was in flames and there was not a soul in sight – not even the neighbors.” After calling the fire department, Maxon called his friend Scotty to let him know that his trailer was on fire. “He got here as fast as he could because they have two dogs,” Maxon said. “He opened the door and one of the dogs ran out, but the other one didn’t.” Unfortunately, the other dog perished in the fire. The second call Maxon made was to another family friend, Jennifer Meza, whose father lives next door to the Thompsons as well. Meza lives in Murrayville. “When I heard what was happening, I ran out of the house in only my flip flops, got in my car and headed down to Roodhouse,” she said. “When I got

to Manchester, I could see the smoke so I knew it was going to be bad.” Meza, clad in only her flip-flops in single-digit temperatures, borrowed a pair of boots from her father as she watched firemen battle the blaze and tried to offer comfort to her friends. “The dog that perished in the fire was a stray that had come up a couple months ago and just started hanging

around,” Meza said. “At first they had it in the garage, and then one day it came in the house and just stayed. He started sleeping with Lacey and would put his arm around her at night. They found him before the fire got to him and it looked like he had maybe had a heart attack or something.” Both mother and son lost everything in the fire and family and friends

are trying to not only find them a place to live but also clothes and household items. Clothing items needed include: Men’s jeans 34x32, shirts large and shoes 11. In women’s, Jeans 14-16, scrubs XL, shirts XL and shoes 7.5. Clothing items can be dropped off at Mandy’s Whine and Bark in White Hall.

Four overdoses claim two lives in the county By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Law enforcement officials and the coroner were kept busy last week dealing with four overdoses in the span of three days which resulted in two deaths. The other two individuals were saved with the use of the drug Narcan. While toxicology reports are not back yet, officials believe the overdoses are due to the drug fentanyl. “We had three overdoses Thursday night, one in Roodhouse, one in Wrights and one in Carrollton,” Carrollton Police Chief Mike McCartney said. “The one in Roodhouse and the one in Wrights didn’t make it, but the one in Carrollton did, and we were able to find out where the drugs came from.” The Carrollton overdose victim

happened to be in the right place at the right time – the parking lot of the Greene County Jail – when he collapsed. “Our dispatcher was looking at the monitor and saw him walking across the parking lot, and he did this little dance and then fell in the parking lot,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said. “He went out, administered CPR and Narcan and was able to save him.” Once well enough, this overdose victim was able to provide authorities with valuable information. “We talked to him and found out where the drugs came from, and he told us he thought he was taking cocaine,” McCartney said. “We conducted what we call a ‘knock and talk’ and took a subject into custody that we believe sold him the drugs and found

out he had a warrant for his arrest out of Jersey County. Once we had him in custody on the warrant, we found a container with 21 buttons of what we believe to be fentanyl in his possession.” Arrested was Chad McAdams, 41, who remains in Greene County Jail pending charges of Delivery and Possession of a Controlled Substance. The two fatalities were Jacob D. Ross, 33, of Roodhouse and Kayla Planer, 30, of Wrights. In 2019, Planer was charged with Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance (heroin) that resulted in the death of Ashley Bradshaw on Sept. 27. According to Judici, Planer pled guilty to the charge on Dec. 2, 2019 and was sentenced to four years in the Department of Corrections. She was

released on Dec. 21, 2020. In other police news, the alleged “sex trafficker” that was blowing up Facebook a couple weeks ago has been identified and a warrant issued for her arrest. Parents can rest easy, their children are not in danger. “We have identified the subject and have a warrant out for her arrest, but not for sex trafficking,” McCartney said. “The arrest warrant is for residential burglary, and we suspect there might be some suspected mental issues because she was telling people she was in the sex trafficking trade and was in the FBI and that the police were in the cartel. We also think she might have been under the influence of narcotics.” The suspect in question is 41-yearold Bethany Vahle of Jerseyville.

New White Hall Tri-County FS Manager Terry Monroe behind the desk at his office. Monroe took over Jan. 1 after the retirement of Bob Goode, who had been with the company for almost 40 years.

White Hall Tri-County FS welcomes new manager By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Tri-County FS rang in the new year by naming a new manager at their White Hall facility. Former assistant manager Terry Monroe has been chosen to step into the shoes of longtime manager Bob Goode, who retired after a nearly 40-year career. Monroe, from White Hall, joined the company nine years ago, knowing little to nothing at all about the tractor repair business. “I had never touched a tractor in my life when I started this job,” Monroe said. “I had been around

racing all of my life, so I knew all about the mechanical stuff, but I had been doing trusses for homes for 10 years when I applied for this job.” Monroe got an extreme crash course on everything there was to know about tractors before he was let out on his own. “Lucky for me, I am a quick learner because I had two weeks to learn the job with a guy on the truck before he left,” Monroe said. “He taught me a lot of the basics, but I learned a lot over the years on my own.” (See, MANAGER, A2)

t is one thing for the residents of Greene County to be proud of their health department for the job they have done, and are doing in administering the COVID-19 vaccine to its residents, but proud doesn’t begin to describe how it feels to have the Governor of the state recognize the county for its efforts. In a visit to Rockford Friday to tour a vaccination site in Winnebago County, Gov. Pritzker praised Greene County for its efficiency in delivering more than 1,900 doses of the vaccine in an orderly and timely manner. Pritzker said his administration has tried to take into consideration the needs of the local health departments with regards to the best ways to administer the vaccines. “We’ve taken very seriously the direction of local public health departments and the needs that they have,” Pritzker said. “We’ve provided some grants and tried to offer any help that we can at the state level, but we can’t make decisions for local counties with regard to what is best in a certain part of their community versus another part of their community if they know the county better than we do. We want to take their advice and just try to help them accomplish the goal of getting people vaccinated.” And that is just what has been happening in Greene County, over

and over again. The health department receives, on average, 500 doses of vaccine the day prior to a driveup clinic held at the KC Hall in Carrollton and the next day, those 500 doses are administered in less than an eight-hour period. This regimen includes calling all 500 individuals on the list for the vaccine the day before and setting them up for an appointment at 15-minute intervals so there is no long wait on their part. There are three tents with nurses set up to give the vaccines so once a patient’s information is taken, there is no wait, other than the 15-minute wait after the vaccine is given to make sure there are no side-effects. The county’s efficiency has not gone unnoticed at the state level, either. “Some of our rural counties are the best in the state at delivering the vaccines,” Pritzker said. “Greene County is a good example, and I’ve mentioned them before because it is kind of remarkable for a small county to be able to do what they’ve done – to get the vaccines off the shelf and into the people’s arms as quickly as they have. I’m very proud of that, but also of the many counties that really stepped up to get this job done.” As of Monday, Feb. 8, Greene County had administered 2,486 doses of the vaccine and fully vaccinated 416 individuals accounting for 3.19 percent of the population of the county. Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters was thrilled to hear of the praise Gov. Pritzker lauded on the county. (See, DISTRIBUTION, A2)

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Maybe we need to rethink the JFK assassination By BILL HOAGLAND For years, I believed John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. I eventually arrived at that conclusion after reading a book by Vincent Bugliosi entitled “Reclaiming History.” Bugliosi prosecuted Charles Manson and later in life, became a successful author. This particular book about the Kennedy assassination, written in 2007 and consisting of more than 800 pages, appeared to leave no stone unturned in proving that Oswald acted alone and that there was no conspiracy. Bugliosi certainly convinced me. Frankly, I was glad Bugliosi wrote the book. Being convinced that a lone gunman killed Kennedy brought closure for me and a lot of others. Finally, we could accept the findings of the Warren Commission because a guy of Bugliosi’s stature analyzed it for us in convincing fashion. But a week ago, a new book was released that could be unsettling for those of us who moved on from that fateful day of Nov. 22, 1963. The book, entitled “Last Second in Dallas” written by Joshua Thompson, claims in very convincing fashion that there were two and possibly three shooters participating in the Kennedy assassination. I had been waiting several months for this book to be released and bought it the first

day it became available at Amazon. Although the book is rather technical and therefore not an easy book to read, it absolutely changed my beliefs about whether Oswald acted alone. Fortunately, the author is only focused on the sole issue of whether any shots were fired other than those three from the Texas School Book Depository. The author does not attempt to go beyond that simple issue. Frankly, if only three shots were fired, and they all came from the Texas School Book Depository, that is the end of the story. But, that is not the end of the story. Thompson uses three basic aspects of the case to prove that five shots were fired. First, the famous Zapruder home video, taken as the Kennedy vehicle was approaching the camera, is analyzed with modern technologies not available even five or six years ago. That video, when broken down with these modern techniques, clearly shows that Kennedy was first shot in the head from the right front by someone behind Zapruder on the “grassy knoll” or beyond, followed by a second fatal shot from the rear—presumably from Oswald in the Texas School Book Depository. The second area of focus has to do with re-evaluating the medical evidence obtained from the treating doctors in the emergency room at Parkland Hospital in

Dallas as well as the official autopsy performed later in Washington D.C. This review confirms that Kennedy was struck in the head from two separate directions almost at the same time. The third area of focus has to do with a police radio that was inadvertently left on during the 8.3 seconds when all five shots were fired. When the sounds of this radio are broken down with the aid of modern technology, it is clear that five, not three gun shots, were fired. We know Oswald only fired three shots, and because it took at least 2.3 seconds for Oswald to eject each shell and reload, Owsald could not possibly have fired the second of the three initial shots heard on this radio, and he could only have fired one of the two shots heard 5 seconds later. Thompson supplements his primary evidence with interviews with eyewitnesses, some of whom were never seriously considered in the Warren Commission investigation, as well as a variety of new experts. It becomes readily apparent, in reading the book, that Thompson is not a “nut job,” but rather, an

educated, dedicated investigator who refused to give up over a span of 50 years trying to solve the ultimate issue in this case—whether more than three shots were fired. Maybe the only people disturbed by the conclusions in this book will be those of us old enough to remember exactly where we were when Kennedy was shot. Maybe the “30-somethings” couldn’t care less. But for those of us who do remember, we also know that that single event led to lasting and, in some cases, unfortunate consequences for those of us who survived it. It is particularly unsettling, at this time in our nation’s history, to have new evidence that it resulted from a conspiracy. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Always ask because you might receive I’ve only been aoudad hunting two times in my life, and I have yet to even see one. Both hunts were not under the best conditions and/or times. My recent one was lots of fun, but I was not there during the best time of the year. I was scheduled to speak, so I didn’t have the luxury of choosing a better time. I will plan differently next year. While I didn’t see an aoudad, I did see a number of coyotes and loads of wild hogs. During the first few days of the hunt, I decided to pass on everything except what I came after, afraid that any unnecessary shots might scare off any aoudad that might be close by. By the end of my hunt, I decided to lower my standards.

As a result, I got two coyotes and a monster boar. Was I disappointed? Not really. Yes, I would have loved to have harvested what I came for, but I’m also happy that I was able to get something that was much, much better than nothing. And don’t get me wrong, I love hunting coyotes and hogs as well. So, I had plenty of fun and enjoyed great company. I’m reminded of my prayers when I think of my recent hunt. I’m one of those guys who asks God for the best and most. My thought is, I would hate for Him to be willing to give me something really big, but I failed to ask for it. I rather ask for Mars, knowing that the moon is still in play. And there’s just something neat about me asking God for, say a million

dollars, knowing that He has it and wouldn’t miss it if it were gone. And knowing I’m his child, He loves me, and wants me to have good things – even some things that are just for my enjoyment. Is that your view of God? I hope so. I hope you’re not one who believes his gifts are all contingent on your obedience or your goodness. My what a terrible place we would all be in if that were the case. No, the foundation of God’s goodness does not lie in the recipient of his blessings, but in God himself. He is good. He is gracious. And his goodness flows from his very nature. He chose you in order that he might extend his love. Don’t let someone or some

(Continued from A1) “I am really proud of our staff and community because there is a lot of hard work, planning and scheduling along with set up, distribution, storage and data entry that goes into giving these vaccines,” Peters said. “We heard about his statement after our Friday clinic, and we were all smiling from ear to ear. We were very proud that they were praising our community, our work and our home.” Gov. Pritzker gave another shout out to the county when he also shared and acknowledged a drone video shot by Carrollton’s Michael Lake of the vaccine

drive-thru at the KC Hall. Pritzker said in his post on Facebook: “Local health departments all across Illinois are undertaking herculean efforts to vaccinate their communities. I want to give a special shoutout to Greene County for their impressive organization. Watch this video to see how hard they’re working for you.” The positivity rate for Region 3, on Feb. 4, was down to 3.4 percent. However, the positivity rate for Greene County was at 10.1 percent. Jersey County’s rate was at 6.7 percent and Scott County’s was at 12.5 percent.

Manager (Continued from A1) But when it came time to fill the position of the manager, Monroe had to interview for the position just like everyone else. “There were several other people who interviewed for the position as well as myself,” Monroe said. “The company always tries to promote from within first because people who work for the company are going to know the customer base and know what is going on, so it’s not such a big dramatic jump for them to jump into that position.” After working nine years, Monroe knows his customer base very well, as did his former boss, Bob Goode, who Monroe describes as some “big shoes to fill.” “He has been in this business for a long time – he knows a lot of people and where they live. He also knows all the farm ground and who owns it plus everything that is going on around here,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot off Bob all these years.” As second in command, he’s also had a chance to step into the management position when Goode went on vacation. “When Bob would go on vacation, I did his job as well as my own,” Monroe said. “I took care of all the calls and did all the ordering so I’ve actually done this job before.

I already had an idea of what the job entailed anyway.” As the manager, he will be in charge of doing all of the ordering for the facility, taking care of customers, going out on occasional service calls and training his replacement, Hunter Fanning. “Hunter will be taking over for me, going out on the service truck taking care of the farmers, and I will be staying here at the shop most of the time,” Monroe said. “But I will still be going out on the truck once in a while.” The only other employee at the White Hall facility is Office Manager Sandy Hicks, who has been with the company for around 20 years, proof that those who start with the company stay with the company. As for any changes he would like to make after taking over, Monroe said there is only one change he would like to see made. “I would like to see our hours of operation change,” he said. “All of our other facilities are open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. instead of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which is what we are currently open. I would like to see us change to the former because most farmers are up and out early.” In addition to White Hall, Tri-County FS also has facilities in Carrollton, Roodhouse, Greenfield, Jerseyville and Hardin.

Sunday Jan. 31, Brother Brad led the singing, Esther Jean sang and played “Lift Up His Name.” Message: A Second Beast, a Great Deception. Scripture: Revelations 13: 11-18, Eph. 6 The first beast is deceiving others claiming that he is Jesus the Messiah. Taking the truth saying its a lie and and lying saying its the truth. The second beast comes to deceive humanity and does miracles to trick others to worship the beast. It takes away from the Messiah and to turn others to worship the beast. If Satan can separate us and make us fight then he can separate us from our heavenly father. We are in the last days. Satan knows his days are limited. The more we do for the Lord, the more

Satan attacks you. When you serve the Lord, pray, study His word, the more he attacks us. Satan is leading others away from God. Satan doesn’t want you to have an intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. Satan can’t make you do anything, he will highly suggest it though. We must not be carried away by those desires. When you listen and submit to our Father, your desires to sin will be taken away. God will never send anyone to Hell. Jesus has done all that can be done to keep us from hell, His plan of salvation is giving us the invitation to accept Him. You choose yourself if you will spend eternity in Heaven or Hell. Accept Jesus today. Hide his word in your heart that you may not sin against Him. Do

not deny your Heavenly Father. By faith we are saved even faith is a gift from God. God is still and always will be in control. If God’s word says it is wrong then it is wrong, any other is sin. Alcohol, drugs are not a disease, it is a sin problem. God needs to be in the proper place in our lives. Trust in God and He will meet your every need. The word of God will overcome any sin problem you even have. We will never be sinless this side of eternity, but it is not an excuse to continue to sin. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, Jesus is coming. Sunday worship is at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesday night prayer meeting is at 6 p.m. Come and worship with us at Calvary. You are always welcome.

Walkerville Baptist Church news

From the desk of Pastor David Slagle - 473-1892. The cold temps and some snow didn’t stop the Walkerville Church family from coming together this morning. The filling of baby bottles with loose change for the Pregnancy Resource Center in Jacksonville is going very well. Our message this morning was from the Book of Romans 4:7-8, “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered,” and “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.’’ We talked this morning about

regret. Regret is baggage that many believers carry with them daily. Baggage of failed relationships, broken promises, making a move in a job only to discover it was the wrong move, revisiting past sins that drag you down so deep, it seems there is no way out. Believers believe that when this happens there is no hope for them but believers must realize that God forgives all of our sins and doesn’t remember a single one. Remember Paul and what he was before the Damascus road conversion? There was a man that was present at the stoning of Stephen, but God

Carrollton, Illinois

changed Paul into one the greatest apostles. Now, we are able to read and learn from this man. Paul could have carried the baggage of regret through life but he knew God had forgiven his sins and covered them with the blood of christ. Our recent prayer requests are: Linda Hendricker, Vera’s niece, Vera and Bob, George and Sandy Campbell, Debbie, Richard, Dorothy’s brother, Ava and Dan, Bud and Dianea and Dale Phllips. Come and join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. for our worship service.

Two new businesses coming to White Hall By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Two new businesses are set to open up in White Hall within the next month, and Mayor Brad Staats could not be more elated, especially since they are opening up in two buildings where two other businesses closed their doors. “Not long after Jeff and Kim Fansler announced they were closing J and K Furniture uptown, they came to me about an idea they had for a new business,” Staats said. “They wanted to put in a liquor store where the Mexican restaurant used to be, and then about two weeks ago, I learned that Billy’s Bargain Barn was going to put a store in where Alco used to be.” The Fanslers closed the doors to their furniture store on Oct. 18 after 13 years in business, and rumors were circulating that they had another business venture in mind. Those rumors turned out to be true. “They came to me in November about their idea for the new business, and I got in contact with the guy that puts in the gambling machines. He came down, and we got all the paperwork taken care of with that and started the process of getting licensed for the gaming machines,” Staats said. “Believe it or not, it takes quite a while to get a license for those machines, but they got their license, and I hear they are getting ready to open soon.”

Kim Fansler said they should be opening around the beginning of March, if not sooner. Right across the street, in the former location of Alco, which left more than five years ago, will be located Billy’s Bargain Barn, owned by former North Greene native, Billy McCurley. McCurley graduated from eighth grade in North Greene then attended Routt Catholic High School in Jacksonville. He now lives in Bluffs, but he has never lost his North Greene roots. The Fanslers closing their furniture store gave him the perfect opportunity to expand his line of stores to White Hall. He currently has stores in Jacksonville, Carlinville, Beardstown and Canton. “We are very excited about coming to White Hall and the phone calls we have been getting are amazing. It seems like every other call we are getting is people asking about when the store in White Hall is going to open,” McCurley said. “Everyone wants the shop local thing, and that is the main thing we stress in all of our stores – shop local. We plan on

having that same philosophy in White Hall – shop local. Right now, we make around three trips a week to North Greene, so we already have the customer base here.” Staats said he is thrilled that something is finally being put in that building. “We all hated to see Alco go because we knew it would take something pretty big to locate in a building that size,” Staats said. “We had heard rumors that Billy was thinking of coming here, and then a couple weeks ago I saw someone working in there.

t is only natural to answer harshly when someone starts the conversation harshly. Parents often start conversations with their children by yelling at them or asking questions in an accusatory tone, and it is no wonder that their children then take a defensive posture. We do this with our partners, our roommates, and our workmates, and we see it all too often in politics. If strife and division are what we are trying to achieve, the harsh word and the harsh response is a sure way to get it, but if we’re looking for love and unity, we should consider the gentle answer. Admittedly it can be extremely difficult to do this. When someone starts a conversation by yelling at

us, or accusing us of something we didn’t do, the natural response is to yell back and accuse the other person of not knowing what they are talking about. But it is better to take a few seconds to consider what the gentle response should be. Sometimes the gentle response is simply to answer truthfully but softly and suggest that the problem can be worked out if we talk about it. Criticism is never easy to take, and however gently it is given, the recipient is likely to feel defensive, but defensiveness need not lead to strife and harsh words. –Christopher Simon

store. “I’m talking to the owner of our Dollar General store about building a new building, but he is wanting one or two acres,” Staats said. “I told him I do not want it out of town like Carrollton. I would rather have it in town because we have a lot of people that walk or ride their bikes to shop there, and if you get it located, let’s say out there by the cemetery, that is too far a walk for them. We would also lose out on the sales tax to the county.” As for the gambling facility, Staats said he knows there are people who are against the gambling machines, but

the reality is it does bring in income for the city. “We don’t have to spend a dime on them and the State sends us a very nice check every month,” Staats said. “We get approximately $2,000 to $2,500 a month from the machines here in town. Sometimes more, sometimes less – it just depends.” For example, in Feb. of 2020, just before COVID-19 shut down all of the gaming machines in the State, White Hall, with its three establishments providing gaming machines, received, as its share of the profits, $2,272.82. For the 12-month, pre-

COVID period between February 2019 and February 2020, the city received $26,603.38 in revenue from the 15 gaming machines located within the three establishments in the city. As a point of reference, Carrollton had five establishments with a total of 27 gaming machines in September of 2020 (prior to machines being added at Buck’s Crossing) and their revenue for that month was $4,284.18. Both towns have about the same population. “Like I said, it is money that we don’t have to do anything for,” Staats said. “We just sit up here and collect it.”

Cute grannies To celebrate the 100th day of classes at St. John’s, Mrs. Patti Fraley’s kindergarten class decided to dress up as 100-year-old grandmas and grandpas. Here is a glimpse of what Farah Lamb and Brooke Thornton might look like 95 years from now.

Former local state senator faces fraud charges A former Republican State Senator and Conservative Party candidate for governor on Wednesday joined the list of exstate officials who have been indicted. Springfield-area lawmaker Sam McCann, who frequently butted heads with Republican ex-Gov. Bruce Rauner and eventually challenged him as a thirdparty candidate in 2018, was indicted on charges of fraud, money laundering and tax evasion related to his alleged use of campaign funds for personal expenses, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Central District of Illinois. McCann first made headlines in Greene County during his bid for the Senate seat held by Senator Deanna Demuzio in the 2011 election. In one of his first appearances on the campaign trail, McCann appeared in a forum in Carrollton at the city hall. In this forum, McCann spoke of being a military veteran.

The indictment alleges that from May 2015 to June 2020 McCann “engaged in a scheme to convert more than $200,000 in contributions and donations made to his campaign committees to pay himself and make personal purchases.” Further, McCann concealed his fraud from donors, the public, the Illinois State Board of Elections and law enforcement authorities, according to the news release. McCann, of Plainview, was a state senator from 2011 until January 2019 following his unsuccessful third-party run for governor in which he received about 4.2 percent of the vote, or 192,527 votes. According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, McCann organized several political committees which received over $5 million in donations. But in several instances, McCann used some of that money to purchase personal vehicles, pay personal debts, make mortgage payments and pay himself,

according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. That included $60,000 spent on a 2017 Ford Expedition and a 2018 Ford F-250 pickup truck, and he later used campaign funds to pay for fuel and insurance for the vehicles. The indictment also details an alleged scheme in which McCann purchased two recreational vehicles, later establishing an account with an RV rental business in Ohio through which McCann rented the vehicles to himself, paid for by campaign funds. That also led to a tax evasion charge. “McCann caused a total of approximately $62,666 in campaign funds be used to pay the rental cost of the vehicles. The rental business retained approximately $9,838 for commission and paid McCann, as the owner, approximately $52,827 by direct deposit to McCann’s personal checking account. McCann reimbursed the campaign accounts $18,000, resulting in more than

$77,000 in campaign funds used to buy and rent from himself,” according to the news release from the U.S. Attorney. McCann also allegedly cut himself a $20,000 cashier’s check from the campaign account in 2016 to pay off a 2011 loan. From May 2015 to August 2020, McCann allegedly spent approximately $64,750 in campaign funds on two separate personal mortgage loans. His failed campaign for governor was lucrative as well, according to the indictment. “McCann allegedly caused the Conservative Party of Illinois to issue approximately $187,000 in payments to himself personally and an additional $52,282 in payments for payroll taxes,” through June 2020, according to the news release. “Using a payroll service, McCann was allegedly able to conceal himself as the payee for the expenditures from the campaign account.” The indictment also alleges the Conservative Party standard

Fans back in the stands

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Less than 10 days after the announcement that high school sports could resume but with no spectators unless the gyms could provide at least a 30-foot distance from the fans to the playing field, the IHSA and the IDPH have revised those guidelines making those distances more realistic to allow most gyms to accommodate at least some fans. North Greene made an announcement that, beginning with the boy’s junior high basketball game scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6, they would be allowing home team spectators into watch games. On Feb. 5, the IDPH changed the recommendation from the 30-foot distance to the 12-foot distance. As of now, junior high and high school boy’s basketball players are allowed two fans per player while high school girls basketball players are allowed three fans

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

The lack of fans in the stands at Monday night’s North Greene Junior High boy’s game against the St. John Redbirds certainly wasn’t for the lack of a fanbase. The reason for the sparse crowd was because of the IHSA and IDPH guidelines set forth. Still, it was better than two weeks ago when no spectators were allowed at all.

Guests must sign in upon arrival and sit in designated areas at least six foot apart, except family members. Masks must be worn at all times. There will be

no concessions available at this time. All IDPH guidelines must be followed and guests must have their temperatures taken. At this time, Carrollton and Greenfield both are still working on putting a plan in place to allow fans into games.

Lady Hawks pull off season opening win

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton Lady Hawks pulled off a season opening 36-35 win over the Gillespie Lady Miners Thursday night, even though there were no fans there to celebrate their victory. The Lady Hawks finished out the first quarter with a 9-6 lead but at one point were behind by 9 points before surging back ahead in the third. From that point, the game was pretty close. The Lady Hawks were trailing 21-25 with 1:25 left in the third quarter but had fought back to tie the game 35-35. Kylie Kinser was fouled under the basket with 11 seconds remaining in the game. At the free-throw line, she made the first basket but missed the second. However, it was enough to give the Lady Hawks the lead 36-35 and secure their first win of the season. Carrollton had five players put points on the board. Kinser led all players with 13 points on the night followed by Ava Uhles with nine points and Callie McAdams, Haley Schnelten and Ella Stumpf who each had four points on the night. The Lady Miners were helped on the night by their threepoint shooting. They had three players on the night register three-point shots for a total of 12 of their 35 points.

Going for it Greenfield-Northwestern’s Clayton Woods puts up a three-point shot during high school boys basketball action against Southwestern on Tuesday, Feb. 2. Woods’ mother, Jodi, is in the background making a shot of her own during the game. Jodi Woods was able to attend the game as a JV scorekeeper. The Tigers were not able to open the doors to spectating parents until Feb. 5 when they were given the news that fans could sit 12 feet from the playing floor instead of the initial 30 feet for COVID safety. This was the first game of the season for the Tigers and they did get the win with a highly defensive stand.

Carrollton’s Ava Uhles attempts to block the shot by this Gillespie player during Thursday’s home opener for the Lady Hawks. Uhles ended the night with 9 points.

Mt. Gilead Shelter Care receives new electric piano By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Three local churches gave the gift of music to the Mt. Gilead Shelter Care Home last week with the purchase and donation of a new electronic organ to the facility located outside of Carrollton. Kane Baptist Church, Mt. Gilead Baptist Church and Eldred Baptist Church went together and purchased a new Yamaha YDP 103 electric console piano from Lacefield Music in South County Mall in St. Louis. “This is quite a gift, and we are certainly grateful for it,” owner LuAnn Roth said. “The piano that we had here before was very old and didn’t sound very good, so this is going to make a big difference in the music our residents hear.” Mt. Gilead Shelter Care Home is home to 27 developmentally disabled residents and is owned by Roth and her sister, Kathy Kaiser, who purchased the facility from their parents in 1988. “Our parents started Mt. Gilead way back in 1971,” Roth said. “This building used to be a school, but when the school consolidated with Carrollton, they sold the building. My parents bought the building from Bob Arbuckle. When they retired, we bought it and have been running it ever since.” When the building was purchased back in 1971, the original piano that was purchased for the school came with it and provided music for the residents for many, many years. “We had and used that piano up until about seven or eight years ago,” Roth said. “Then, we had an organ here for awhile and then got another piano, but it got to the point where it wasn’t sounding very good.” Tim Reif, who was playing Santa at their annual Christmas party, sat down to play a few Christmas hymns and noticed how bad their current piano was sounding. “Their piano was at least 50 years old and in a state of disrepair – some of the notes didn’t work, the tone was off and the sound quality was poor,” Reif said. “I asked Kathy and LuAnn if they would like something different and they agreed that it would be nice.” Reif accepted the challenge. “I went to work and asked a few individuals at local churches that I had contact with to partner in this mission project for the residents there,” he said. “Eldred Baptist, Kane Baptist and Mt. Gilead Baptist all partnered together to cover the cost.” Beaver Martin, Frank Hazelwonder and Howard Prough helped Reif get the old piano out and disposed of before putting the new one in place last Friday. Reif then spent the next 45 minutes playing the residents’ requests. “The residents just loved it and sang along and had a good time of fellowship over lunch time,” Reif said. “They were all so very appreciative and thankful for the interaction. I encourage anyone who can play or sing to go out there and spend some time with the residents.” Roth agreed with this suggestion wholeheartedly, saying the residents would love to see people and would especially love to hear music again.

“We used to have different people and church groups that would come out here and visit with the residents and play music for them,” Roth said. “But since COVID, all of that ended and the residents have pretty much been limited to their rooms. We haven’t even been able to have activities.” But, hopefully, all of that is changing soon. “We have all just received our second dose of the vaccine yesterday (Friday) so in a couple of weeks, I’m hoping that things are going to open up a little more for us,” Roth said. “We are hoping the churches will once again start coming out like they used to – the residents sure miss them.”
