Wyatt breaks NG record Senior Brayden Wyatt broke a North Greene Spartan scoring record for having the most three-pointers in a season last Friday night against Greenfield with 79 for the season, breaking the record set by Sean Knox in 2003-04 with 75 points. Wyatt started the game by putting the first 12 points on the board for the Spartans with four straight three-pointers.

He ended the night adding seven three-pointers to his record at the end of the regular season.

Watts to head up North Greene baseball team

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A former Carrollton graduate and baseball player will be taking over the helm of the North Greene Spartan baseball team this spring.

The North Greene School Board at their March meeting hired Caleb Watts as the new baseball coach taking over for Cade Reno. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hate to see Cade go, but we understand that he wants to spend more time with his family,â&#x20AC;? North Greene Athletic Director Brett Berry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that said, we are excited to welcome Caleb as our new boys baseball coach.â&#x20AC;?

Watts is a 2014 graduate of Carrollton

High School and a 2018 graduate of Greenville University. Watts played baseball all four years in high school as well as all four years in college. While at Greenville, he helped his team win two St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships.

Watts is currently a physical education teacher at North Greene. Prior to coming to North Greene, Watts was an assistant baseball coach at Mulberry Grove High School in 2018 and then an assistant baseball coach at Carrollton last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to having Caleb continue to build up our baseball program,â&#x20AC;?

Berry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is enthusiastic and has a genuine love of the game.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to more fully incorporate the teaching of our faith into our extra-curricular activities and make these activities a more integrated part of our faith community.â&#x20AC;?

Julie Lake St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Principal â&#x20AC;&#x153;After much prayer and consideration, the school board, athletic committee, administration and pastor of St. John the Evangelist School have decided not to pursue the renewal of the cooperative team agreement with Carrollton School District,â&#x20AC;?

Lake wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate and thank the Carrollton School District for hosting the cooperative team agreement for the last several years and allowing our students the possibility to participate in extra-curricular activities that they might not have had the opportunity to experience otherwise.â&#x20AC;?

The decision to end the coop is based on the desire to incorporate a more faith based program for extracurricular sports programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we look toward the future of St. John the Evangelist School, one of our priorities is to improve the Catholic identity of our school,â&#x20AC;? Lake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to more fully incorporate the teaching of our faith into our extra-curricular activities and make these activities a more integrated part of our faith community.â&#x20AC;?

That is not to say that a coop agreement is out of the question in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not closing the door to considering future cooperative agreements, but feel this is the direction we need to take at this time,â&#x20AC;? Lake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you so much for all you have done for our students and we pray that we can continue working together now and in the future in other endeavors.â&#x20AC;?

Following an hour long closed session, the board approved the hiring of a new baseball coach for the high school boys baseball team.

White Hall Library hosts field trip

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The White Hall Public Library hosted a field trip for the fifth grade class at North Greene Elementary last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This field trip was designed to show the students what programs and activities we have available here at the library,â&#x20AC;?

Librarian Penny Eilers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We introduced the students to the library and all the resources available to them, such as eBooks, and how they are free with their library card.â&#x20AC;?

With predators lurking everywhere these days, even behind a computer screen, library staff hosted a discussion on online safety followed by a fast-paced dice game. A humorous book talk was also held on a graphic novel series called Catwad.

Moving away from the literary world, the students had the opportunity to participate in a Pringles taste test. Students were tasked with using all of their senses to figure out what flavor the different Pringles were.

Students were also introduced to the Science Programming that is offered on the third Friday of each month from 4-5 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This month, the theme was Chocolate Science where we made armpit fudge and learned where chocolate came from,â&#x20AC;?

Eilers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We then read a small part of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Chocolate

Chaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Geronimo Stilton and predicted whether different chocolates would sink or float.â&#x20AC;?

The students, who will be in sixth grade next year, were invited to start coming to the Teen CafĂŠ, held at the library ever Wednesday after school from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. for students in grades 6 through 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a student-led program that was started as a summer program last year, but it was so successful they wanted it to continue during the school year,â&#x20AC;? Eilers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a teen volunteer that comes in early and sets it up, and we usually have 5 to 8 attend each week.â&#x20AC;?

The students were given a library card bookmark and a calendar of events for the month of March.

The library offers programming for all ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Monday at 10 a.m. a story time and stay and play is held for families with kids ages 0 to 5,â&#x20AC;? Eilers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families listen to stories, engage in activities and then stay and play in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area.â&#x20AC;?

The adults are not forgotten either. Every Thursday from 6-8 p.m. is Adult Game Night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adults gather and play games and socialize during this period,â&#x20AC;? Eilers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The library also hosts an adult book (See, LIBRARY, A2)

Carrollton, Illinois

Biometrics are coming, like it or not St. John's

By BILL HOAGLAND Do you find it frustrating trying to remember your original passwords (all three of them) and all the subsequent passwords you were told to substitute for the original stuff; of course, we never seem to have that list of new and old passwords handy when we need them--even when we have a list, right?

To make matters worse, you are told that notwithstanding your best efforts to periodically change your passwords, your Social Security Number, date of birth, mother’s maiden name and that goofy little three-digit number on the back of your credit card are all out there on the dark web, waiting to join in a concerted effort to render you bankrupt.

To combat these issues of computer fraud and identity theft that result from the continued use of passwords as the primary means of identification, numerous companies have been researching the use of biometrics to develop a better, safer means of personal identification for your credit cards, computer access and so on. If they can come up with a foolproof biometric system, the good news is that you won’t have to memorize all those passwords anymore. The bad news is that some folks believe these biometric identifiers are “too invasive” and should be prohibited regardless of how effective they might be.

Before we discuss current research on biometrics, let’s back up a minute and get a better understanding of what biometric identification means.

Biometric identification is the use of human characteristics to verify our individual identities.

We all have characteristics that are unique to each of us, such as fingerprints and DNA; in other words, no one else has your fingerprint pattern or your DNA. There are two categories of biometric identifiers: physiological and behavioral. The physiological identifiers include not only fingerprints and DNA but also facial structure, iris composition and palm prints. The behavioral identifiers include your gait, voice patterns, and believe it or not, even how you use your computer at different times of the day.

These biometric identifiers generally cannot be duplicated by hackers and that is why they are safer to use than passwords.

Twenty years ago, the use of passwords worked fine as protection against hackers. But we all know that passwords can now be determined in milliseconds. And with the advent of Facebook and other social media platforms, much of your personal information that was formally used to identify you, such as your mother’s maiden name, is laid out there for all to see and use This is why some vendors

and employers have been using physiological features such as fingerprints to help identify the user. But to add another layer to the identification process and to make it that much more difficult for hackers, we soon may have the behavioral aspect thrown in for extra protection.

Looking at and recording your unique behavioral conduct throughout the day, frankly, might seem unusually invasive. As reported

by Luana Pascu for www. biometricupdate.com, the behavioral conduct these companies are considering to record and use to identify you might include how you as an individual behave early in the morning when you are fresh verses how you behave late at night when you are tired. And those behavioral differences might be evident on your keyboard, how you handle your cell phone or how you handle your computer mouse in the morning verses late at night. For example, if you are tired at night, you might be more inclined to hit your keyboard harder than in the morning when you are refreshed. These individual

and highly personal aspects of your daily behavior can be detected and preserved as a means of identifying you, just as we are doing now with fingerprints.

Personally, I don’t care how “invasive” these considerations might be. Let’s face it: what could be more “invasive” than someone in Russia having access to your credit card, your income tax refund or your IRA? Or what could be more “invasive” than a terrorist who is able to pass through an airport because facial profiling was deemed to be “too invasive” and therefore prohibited? I for one am glad someone is moving ahead with our protection by the use of biometrics, regardless of how invasive it might seem.

(Continued from A1) school baseball coach, the board approved the hiring of Alex Rahe for the position.

Rahe was hired by the district last year as a physics and chemistry teacher and served as an assistant coach last year.

He is a 2008 graduate of Carrollton High School.

Prior to the announcement of his hiring as the coach, Ryan Howard, during the comments portion of the meeting, asked how the board decided on the candidate for the position.

“I was informed that we hired someone as baseball coach internally because the board wouldn’t accept external applications or interview any individuals,” Howard said. “I didn’t know if that was typical protocol or what. I know the last time the board hired someone internally, he left the kids high and dry because he said he didn’t want to fight the grades issue but that is part of the coaching position. Do we hire only from internal applicants or can we look externally for candidates?”

Halwachs said they had three applicants which they considered for the position.

“Two of them were internal and one external applicant, and the external applicant chose not to take the interview we offered,” he said.

The policy of the district is to advertise the coaching position internally first and then open it up to candidates not currently employed by the district. In the end, the board chooses the best candidate for the position, regardless of their position in the district.

Grade School Superintendent Rhonda Smith informed the board that the Father-Daughter Dance on Feb. 22 was an amazing success.

“We had 200 fathers and daughters attend the event this year, and the PTO raised $1,600 from the event,” she said.

The board also had the first reading of a new board policy.

The policy states that a board member cannot be appointed to a volunteer position in a sporting event. Upon approval of the policy, any board member already serving as a volunteer shall be allowed to complete the season. However, they cannot be reappointed after completion of the current season.

The only board member currently serving as a volunteer coach is Rodney Flowers, who has been an assistant coach for football alongside his brother, head coach Nick Flowers, for many, many years.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Growth happens when winds are against us One of the obstacles that most hunters and fishermen dread is the wind.

A light wind is not a factor – it’s even helpful, but a windy day is burdensome to the fishermen and causes most game to stay out of sight. Most of the time, I complain about the wind like everyone else. But there are a few circumstances where the wind actually adds excitement to the hunt and gives me the edge. One of those circumstances is when I’m turkey hunting.

As you turkey hunters know, this particular bird has excellent sight and can distinguish colors as well. The least movement will turn an otherwise successful hunt into a what-if story. When the wind is still,

I’m still, but when the wind blows, I use the opportunity to do a little stalking. I can remember on one of these mornings, I was able to crawl within fifteen yards of nine jakes without ever calling.

And after they recognized something was not right, they came closer for some investigation. I could almost touch them with the end of my gun.

Now that was exciting.

Many times, we assume the worst when the wind is involved. We use clichés like the “winds of change” or we offer encouragement by saying “keep the wind to your back,” as if a headwind is a negative thing. The truth is, most of our growth happens when the winds are against us.

These gusts challenge our normal and comfortable way of doing things. They make us decide whether we will curse our circumstances or use them to find another way. They reveal to us our fears and our ability to adapt and overcome.

They show us who or what is controlling our life. Perhaps the winds of difficulty are blowing against you right now.

Perhaps it seems they are so strong your boat is standing still. It may be that God is simply causing you to move in another direction. Or it may be he is using these gusts to reveal to you a fear you need to relinquish.

The wind can be your friend if you will always remember God is at its helm. He will

determine its length a n d strength.

He will use it to bring you new successes in different ways. And in doing this, He will cause you to have a greater trust in him.

Greene County tentative multiplier for 2019 announced Greene County has been issued a tentative property assessment equalization factor of 1.0205, according to David Harris, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts). If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result.

State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third (1/3) of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland and farm buildings assessed

according to standards based on productivity.

The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the sales price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor.

If this three-year average level of assessment is onethird of market value, the equalization factor will be one (1). If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one (1). And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one (1).

Assessments in Greene County are at 32.66 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2019 taxes, payable in 2020.

Last year’s equalization

factor for the county was 1.0000.

The tentative factor is subject to change (1) if the County Board of Review takes actions which significantly affect the county assessments or (2) if local officials or others can present data showing that the Department of Revenue’s estimates of the average level of assessments in the county should be adjusted. A public hearing on the tentative multiplier will be held between 20 and 30 days after the tentative factor is published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county.

A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments may have increased.

The assessed value of an

individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

Pool diving board causes controversy

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The purchase of a diving board for the Carrollton Municipal Pool was the source of much discussion and a bit of controversy at the Feb. 13 city council meeting.

Because the diving board had to be designed and built to specifications, the cost of the board and installation is going to be $21,875. This amount does not include a $500 fee to Benton and Associates for doing the permit, which has to be approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Total cost will be $22,375.

It will take 12 weeks to get the board built and installed, and the pool opens in 15 weeks, leaving only a three week window to work with.

The controversy arose when it came down to who was going to pay for the board.

At a recent Pool Board meeting, a representative of the council assured the board that the city would pay for a portion of the cost.

Park Board President Sharon Butler wanted to know how much the city was going to pay for and felt they should pay at least half of the cost since it is a repair issue. The pool was told by the State Inspector that their board no longer met standards and would have to be replaced.

Mayor Joe Montanez attended the pool board meeting and relayed what was said on behalf of the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what I said at that meeting is if we paid part of this we would set a limit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is what I said,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had recommended we pay half of it and I know you had discussed it with Alderman Shane Carter.â&#x20AC;?

Carter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the city had the money pay for any part of it until tax money came in in August.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the projections that Debbie (City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap) has, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem giving the pool board some money, but I would rather wait til our real estate taxes come in in August and revisit that issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be for approving this tonight for you and then looking at what we can contribute.â&#x20AC;?

Butler took issue with this approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you are expecting us to pay for all of it when it is installed,â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was not brought up to us at our meeting.â&#x20AC;?

Carter said his idea was the pool board would purchase it and the city would revisit it to see how much they could contribute toward the purchase once tax money comes in.

Butler didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of the city not chipping in now, since they agreed to pay more than $12,000 on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third new squad car in less than two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to know an amount â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how much you are going to pay towards it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, it is city property.â&#x20AC;?

Alderwoman Maria Cox wanted to know why the pool board couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for it themselves.

Pool board member Barb Wilson said it was the responsibility of the city and not the pool board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we have money in our account is that we have pounded the pavement and worked really hard to make money and get donations,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This money is for extra things for the pool that the city might not feel is something they should buy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as deck chairs, basketball hoops.â&#x20AC;?

Butler said they were willing to pay half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think since the pool is city property that you should pay the rest of it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Wilson said the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them the money in that account. The account has

around $60,000 in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked for that money and we were planning on using it to go towards building a splash pad,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just taking money away from that project.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Tim Reif addressed this issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be fiscally responsible and put the money towards a splash pad then we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste our money on a diving board,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, the city should be responsible for one-third the cost of up to $8,000. Because the pool board is the one that wants it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the city is not the one who wants the diving board. So, if you want it, it is going to be more your responsibility than ours.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Montanez suggested the council table the issue and revisit it at a later date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not going to sit up here and make a split decision to make a field goal and lose the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the city council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we will make the decision.

We will draw up a maximum dollar amount before we make a decision and we can get back to you.â&#x20AC;?

Pool Manager Natalie Frye brought up another issue that could make the whole diving board issue a moot point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another huge issue we have is we are not going to be licensed to be open this year because the city hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repaired some gauges that we have been written up for for the past four years in a row,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not getting fixed, so they are not going to give us our license to operate unless they are fixed.â&#x20AC;?

Butler said she has asked the city maintenance crew to repair the gauges numerous times over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have talked to them, and they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do we want to approve the diving board if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open it unless these gauges are fixed and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix them? I

called Jaimie Flowers (plumber) and he said he could do it, but we would have to pay for it. But there is no reason this shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been done before.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Montanez went back to the funding issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to go on record that you are not willing to have the city reimburse you part of the cost at a later date,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could still open the pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have the money to open the pool, but what you are telling me is that if we make a motion down the road to set a dollar amount at a later date, you are not willing to accept that so you are not out the full amount.â&#x20AC;?

Pool board members wanted more than just the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to know the amount you are willing to go and we would like it in writing,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said.

The verbal agreement was that the city would cover one-third of the cost of the board and installation up to a maximum of $8,000. Alderman Kevin Scoggins told Butler to go ahead and get ahold of Flowers and get the gauges repaired in order to get everything do so they can open.

Alderman Larry GIllingham was disappointed that the council even had to have such a discussion regarding the pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one attraction that Carrollton has that no one else in the county has,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are willing to spend numerous dollars to go to Springfield to a convention on economic development and become aware of what cities are doing to promote themselves, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support our own pool. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confused.â&#x20AC;?

Reif made a motion the city pay the onethird up to $8,000. The motion passed by a 5-1 vote with Alderwoman Maria Cox being the only dissenting vote.

CHURCH NEWS Pool board calls Carrollton Council out on negativity toward the pool Barrow Baptist Church news

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Debate over the Carrollton Pool got downright hostile following a closed session at the Feb. 13 Carrollton City Council meeting.

There has been a pool (pardon the pun) of underlying animosity between the pool board and the city council for quite some time, especially after the city council failed to apply for a grant last year to help put in a splash pad.

After closed session, the public was given the opportunity to speak. Pool Manager Natalie Frye addressed both issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would just like to point out the negativity that we get all the time from the council and I would just like to remind you that this summer we had a chance to get a grant to pay for the diving board and the splash pad and we had an alderman call and tell our engineers not to run any numbers,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a plan A if we got the grant and a plan B if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the grant and they were told not to run the numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Kevin

Scoggins felt that Frye was pointing the finger at him and accusing him of being the one to call the engineers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you point at me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I never called them and told them not to run any numbers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who gave you that information, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to sit here and be called a liar.

It would be stupid on my part to call them. You got a problem with me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you come to me.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Tim Reif said the city is being proactive, and is working with Pool Board President Sharon Butler and Greg Hillis with Benton and Associates to attempt to get a grant this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My point is that the city wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had to pay anything for the diving board had someone not called and told Benton to not run any numbers for us,â&#x20AC;? Frye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why the city council voted us down for getting the grant, because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Reif said that was not the only reason the city voted down applying for the grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the city was

approached about the grant, we had less than three weeks to write up the grant and it was not enough time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bid, I believe, was around $120,000 or $130,000 to do the splash pad part. The pool board at the time only had $50,000 in the account so that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really feasible. That is why it got voted down.â&#x20AC;?

Frye said that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the reason given at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you made the motion you said you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go ahead with it because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any numbers to go by,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any numbers because someone on the council called them and told them not to run the numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Reif said the council is behind the pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The end result is we are working on a grant with you now that I started for you,â&#x20AC;? Reif said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked the mayor if I could proceed so we are trying.

Nobody up here wants the pool to fail. Nobody wants anything to fail, but just like at home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we only have so much money. I want you to understand we are trying.â&#x20AC;?

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle, 473-1892.

Our Heavenly Father continues to bless our country church with great attendance and today with four visitors. We began this Sunday morning with coffee, chocolate milk and doughnuts. You are never too old for chocolate milk. We are in the final days of collecting loose change in the baby bottles for the Jacksonville Pregnancy resource Center. We will begin collecting non-perishable food items for the North Green Food Pantry the first part

of March. Also in March we begin collecting for the Annie Armstrong Easter offering. Our text this morning was from the Book of Hebrews 10:25-25. The questions was asked of the congregation â&#x20AC;&#x153;why come to church?â&#x20AC;? Some said to learn more about Jesus. Others said to pray and praise God. Both answers were correct.

There is a three fold purpose coming together in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. The first being to give praise and devotion to God and Christ. The second is to lift up and encourage our brothers and sisters

in Christ to greater service.

And the third is to receive such encouragement from others. I invite you to read the scriptures in Hebrews 10:24-25, Acts 20:7, Acts 4:23-24, Acts 12:5. Our recent prayer requests are Lisa, Gerald Day, Jody, Harold, Dorothy, Veraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughters, Ellen, Glen Baby Chae, Nancy/Keith, Ava/ Dan, George/Sandy, Betty, Ron/Edna.

id you know that the man who first formulated the Big Bang theory was a Jesuit priest? Georges Lemaitre was a Jesuit-trained mathematician, astronomer and physicist who surmised that the recession of nearby galaxies could be explained by an expanding universe, and went on to develop what he called the theory of the primeval atom (later referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Bangâ&#x20AC;? theory). Lemaitre postulated that if we extrapolate backwards from the observable fact of an expanding universe we come to a point in the distant past when the entire mass of the universe was concentrated in a single point, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;primeval atom,â&#x20AC;? as it were, from which time and space as we know them came into existence. Lemaitre believed that this event was essentially the creation of the physical universe, and although Lemaitre wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prone to mixing scientific and religious explanations, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any conflict here.

Illinois coronavirus Carrollton student named to patients cured, released Millikin University Dean’s List from home isolation Health officials: Chicago area couple can return to work; public risk remains low

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Two Chicago-area residents who tested positive for novel coronavirus earlier this year have recovered and were released from home isolation this weekend, according to public health officials.

Federal, state and local health officials made the announcement in a news release Saturday, noting that the risk to the general public remains low and the two patients caused no further spread of the virus.

“Based on what is currently known about the virus, and after close consultation with (the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Illinois Department of Public Health), we believe both patients can now safely return to their regular activities, including work, without restrictions,” Dr. Allison Arwady, Chicago Department of Public Health commissioner, said in a news release.

Arwady added the patients have had “multiple rounds of negative testing for the virus and are clinically well.”

“They do not need to wear masks, and neither does anyone interacting with them.

They have been cleared,” she said.

The two patients are husband and wife, and the woman, in her 60s, had recently returned from Wuhan, China, where the spread of the virus began. Health officials said at an earlier news conference that the spread of the virus to her husband was “not totally unexpected” due to the couple’s close proximity.

The couple was hospitalized at AMITA St. Alexius Medical Center in suburban Hoffman Estates in January and released to home isolation Feb. 7. Public health officials did not release other identifying information due to privacy concerns.

According to the news release, public health officials worked to monitor individuals who were in contact with either of the two patients who tested positive. A CDC team was also deployed to the state, which became one of the first that can test for the virus without shipping specimens out of state.

According to a situation report from the World Health Organization dated Feb. 16, there have been 51,857 cases confirmed globally, but just 683 of those came from outside of China. The virus has resulted in 1,666 deaths, with three of them outside of China.

In the U.S., there have been 15 positive

cases while 60 tests are pending, according to the CDC. In Illinois, there have been just two positive tests, both in the patients that are now cured, and 48 negative tests. Two more tests were awaiting results Monday, according to IDPH. Symptoms for the virus include mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough and difficulty breathing.

IDPH officials said the test it can administer is intended for people who meet certain criteria, which include having traveled to China and other exposure history, as well as exhibiting the stated symptoms.

Authorities believe symptoms appear between two and 14 days after exposure, and there is not a significant risk of a person transmitting the virus before they develop symptoms.

Public health officials urge the same protections one takes against the common flu — covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands with warm soap and water, and staying home when sick.

The Illinois Department of Public Health maintains a novel coronavirus hotline at 1-800-889-3931 and can be reached via email at dph.sick@illinois.gov.

Chicago residents can reach CDPH by calling 311, and the Cook County Department of Public Health can be reached at 708-6334000.

Coronavirus is a large family of viruses, with some causing illness in people, and others circulating among animals, according to IDPH. The virus is named for the crown-like spikes on its surface. Human coronaviruses are “common throughout the world” and usually cause mild to moderate illness in people, according to IDPH. The concern over the recent outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus comes from the fact that it is a new, unrecognized strain.

Previous novel coronavirus strains — such as the ones that caused MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome — evolved from animal strains and have been associated with more severe respiratory illness, according to IDPH. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the 2019 novel coronavirus.

However, the news release noted there are no additional precautions recommended for the general public to take in the U.S. because the virus has not been spreading widely here.

Lawmakers continue push for prescription drug price controls New board would set upper payment limits on high-cost medicines

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois A group of Democratic lawmakers renewed their push Tuesday for a bill that would pave the way for price caps on many high-cost prescription drugs, a proposal that is likely to meet strong resistance from the pharmaceutical industry.

Rep. Will Guzzardi, of Chicago, and Sen. Andy Manar, of Bunker Hill, said the rising cost of prescription drugs has gotten out of control, putting the health of many Illinoisans at risk.

“This is a staggering problem and it’s happening across the country,” Guzzardi said during a news conference at the Capitol. “Drug manufacturers are making record profits quarter after quarter, year after year, while our families are struggling to afford the medications that they need.”

Guzzardi is the chief sponsor of House Bill 3493, a measure he introduced last year. It would establish a five-member Prescription Drug Affordability Board that would have authority to conduct cost reviews and set “upper payment limits” for any brand name drug with a wholesale price of $30,000 or more for a one-year supply or a course of treatment, or for any drug for which the wholesale price jumps by $3,000 or more in a single year.

Upper payment limits are commonly used in private insurance and state Medicaid programs, but they are typically negotiated individually between the health plan and drug manufacturers.

Guzzardi said his bill would establish uniform upper payment limits that would apply to all payers statewide.

That same authority would extend to “biosimilar drugs” – a biologic product that is highly similar to another drug already approved for sale – with a price that is less than 15 percent below the name brand price.

It would also have authority to regulate generic drug prices if those drugs cost $100 or more for a 30-day supply or if their prices jump 200 percent or more in a single year.

Manar, who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate, called it “a reasonable step in the right direction that will say to all of the purveyors of profit in today’s health care system when it comes to the affordability of prescription medication, you’re going to have to cut it out.”

Also speaking at the news conference was Graciela Guzman, a woman who suf-

fers from endometriosis and is a campaign director at the Healthy Illinois Campaign public policy group. She said the cost of one of her medications recently jumped from $68 to $500. Because of that, she said, she chose to split her pills in half in order to stretch out her supply, but that also meant she wasn’t well enough to go about her normal daily routine.

“Medications can’t work for me if I can’t afford them, period,” she said. “I know I’m not alone in that. So many Illinoisans across this state need the peace of mind to know their prescriptions are going to be there for them and that they will be able to afford them.”

Guzzardi introduced the bill last year but it stalled in a House committee after it failed to win a majority of votes to advance to the House floor.

At that time, the bill drew opposition from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association, or PhRMA, a group that represents the biopharmaceutical industry. It was also opposed by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the Illinois Manufacturers Association and a host of other business groups.

This year, Guzzardi said he is proposing some minor changes based on the feedback he heard from the committee and other interest groups.

Tiffany Haverly, director of public affairs at PhRMA, issued an email statement saying the group is sympathetic toward those who struggle to afford their medications.

“With that said, proposals like HB 3493 that arbitrarily set prices are the wrong approach and could limit Illinoisans’ access to treatments and cures,” she said.

“Further, HB 3493 fails to address the long line of middlemen in the pharmaceutical supply chain that impact what patients pay at the pharmacy counter.”

“One of the best ways to lower outof-pocket costs is to make sure patients get their share of the rebates and discounts that biopharmaceutical companies already provide; rebates and discounts that exceeded $166 billion in 2018 alone,” the statement continued. “At the end of the day, the government price setting proposed in this legislation could threaten further research into lifesaving medicines and put patient access at risk.”

The bill is still pending in the House Prescription Drug Affordability and Accessibility Committee, which Guzzardi chairs. It was scheduled for a hearing this week but the committee was canceled and is expected to be rescheduled.

Millikin University announced the names of the outstanding undergraduates who have been named to the Dean’s List for the fall 2019 semester including one from Carrollton, Katharine Baumann.

Camp Invention Summer STEM program coming to St. John’s Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to St. John the Evangelist School in Carrollton the week of June 1 June 5, 2020.

A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Camp Invention challenges children in grades K-6 to find their inner inventor by learning the process of innovation. Using hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance, resourcefulness and problem-solving skills; and encourages entrepreneurship in a fun and engaging environment.

Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nations most world-changing inventors the NIHF Inductees. This years Elevate curriculum features several video challenges from these Inductees encouraging children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness.

These hands-on activities include: Q Camp Invention Flight Lab: Imaginations soar as children learn about flight with gliders, rockets, heliballs and hand-copters.

They build a cityscape from upcycled materials, navigate planes through a storm and take apart a robot.

Q Design Thinking Project: Campers learn the value of their creativity as they bring their biggest ideas to life. To become successful innovators, they create sketches, build prototypes, design logos and find out how to pitch their invention while protecting their intellectual property.

Q Rescue Squad: Using teamwork and problem-solving skills, children protect the Earths ecosystems. Inspiring activities include creating pods to compete in zipline races, exploring energy conservation, eliminating pollution and helping wildlife in habitats across the country.

Q Camp Invention Champions: As they discover the unseen inventors behind their favorite sports, campers apply their own ingenuity. They trade inventor playing cards, create and play their own high-energy hoverball games, and design and build the ultimate sports complex.

At the end of the program, each camper will bring home a robot! Learn more about this years all-new curriculum.

All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community.

Camp Invention serves 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,800 schools and districts across the nation. For additional information or to find a camp near you, visit invent.org/camp.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Landscape drainage for homeowners is possible Are you stricken with pools of water in your yard and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a pool?

Instead of water moving away from your house does it run into the basement?

If you fight these common yard maladies, then very likely there is a stormwater drainage problem in your yard. This week, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cover two common drainage issues for homeowners.

Settling soil around foundation walls: Settling soil around a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation is incredibly common but might not become an issue for years or decades after a home is built. The primary reason this occurs is improper backfill and compaction around the foundation walls during construction. Typically, the soil around foundation structures should be added back in layers or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;liftsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Each lift is compacted using lightweight compaction equipment. We can really get into the dirt here as every construction site is different and compaction should be under the direction of a licensed soil or geotechnical engineer.

However, most homeowners are not dealing with new construction, but instead older homes with settling soil around the foundation walls. The first thing to do is rake back any wood or rock mulch and organic groundcover material. The reason we pull these items back is they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compact well and to expose the actual soil surface. Add lifts of soil, typi-

cally these are higher in clay content, but talk with a geotechnical engineer for their recommendations based on your soil type.

Compact your lifts using hand-operated equipment.

Most homeowners will be using a hand tamp, which can compact 1 to 2-inches of lift at a time. For larger projects, you could rent a vibratory plate compactor or rammer that can compact lifts between 4 to 6-inches at a time. Always check the equipment manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation for guidance.

Make sure the final grade of soil around the foundation walls has a minimum of 4% slope away from the house. Avoid piling soil against the siding. Leaving eighteen inches of the foundation wall exposed can reduce the risk of termites using your exterior walls as an entry point.

Poorly drained yards: Water pooling in yards can develop for many reasons, but the three that I typically point to are 1) an increase in impervious surfaces and/or a decrease in vegetation, 2) the development grading job disrupts the natural hydrology and is not compatible with the site, and 3) landscape management practices. For example, if you mow your lawn too low and kill the grass leaving bare soil, it can become compacted during a rain event, which can lead to settling of soil and ponding water.

To address these problems usually, means going to the top of the watershed.

Can downspouts be rerouted? Or is there a possibility to install a rain garden to intercept the main flow of water before it becomes a problem? Often people will ask if an area with pooling water would work well as a rain garden, and typically, these will not be good rain garden locations.

Rain gardens are designed to be well-drained and by focusing more water in a poorly drained area, it will only make the problem worse.

These situations can be further complicated by runoff occurring from adjacent properties. A landscape contractor or landscape architect should be consulted for their recommendations. Often the fix will require earthwork using small equipment such as a skid steer or mini excavator. If a homeowner is fighting against a lousy grading job, retaining walls can be cleverly deployed to help create opportunities for topography and slope drainage away from structures.

Other tools such as pop-up drains and French drains can be used to move excess water appropriately offsite.

If your head is spinning with grading and hydrology, this article only covers the tip of the iceberg.

We dive a bit more into each drainage issue, plus hit on erosion problems in our online Good Growing blog. Read more at go.illinois.edu/GoodGrowing.

With March Madness looming, lawmakers renew college athlete endorsement push Current, former NBA players join in call for allowing name, likeness compensation

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Nearing the tipoff of March Madness, Illinois lawmakers – backed by a pair of NBA brothers – are renewing a push to allow college athletes to profit from the use of their name and likeness.

Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch called a Chicago news conference Friday, Feb. 14, to push for his Student Athlete Endorsement Act, or House Bill 3904, which is awaiting a vote in the Illinois Senate.

“In a little over a month, the NCAA is going to see its cash cow start – March Madness,” he said. “And the students won’t see a dime from March Madness.

And all we’re saying is let’s be equitable and let’s be fair. Let’s let students profit off their own name, likeness and image.”

The bill would allow collegiate athletes to be paid for the use of their name and likeness and would prohibit the NCAA – the association which oversees major college athletics – from punishing students who take part in the payment or the universities they attend. It would not allow for payment of salaries by universities.

Welch said it requires any endorsement contract to be disclosed to universities and allows students to sign with agents who must be licensed with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations.

It would take effect in 2023. The reason for the grace period is to allow for an expected legal challenge, Welch said in October.

The bill passed the House with bipartisan support in October during the fall veto session, but failed to reach a vote in the Senate. He said the chamber’s change in leadership at the time could have stalled the proposal, which is backed by Gov. JB Pritzker, but he believes “the time is right” to move it forward once again with a new Senate president installed.

Sen. Elgie Sims, a Chicago Democrat and sponsor of the bill in the Senate, was unable to take a call Friday, but his office said he “plans to continue working with his colleagues in an effort to get the bill passed this spring.”

On Friday, Welch was

joined by brothers Shannon and Sterling Brown, who both grew up in suburban Maywood, graduated from the Proviso Township High School District and played basketball at Proviso East High School before entering the NBA. Shannon Brown, the elder of the brothers, played three years at Michigan State University and went on to a nine-year NBA career that included two championship rings.

Sterling plays for the Milwaukee Bucks after having played four years at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

The pair founded the Brown Brothers SALUTE foundation which provides “events, programs, services and resources to underserved youth and adults within low income neighborhoods.”

The elder Brown said while he considered the possibility that endorsement deals for athletes could “detour them from actually going out and pursuing their dreams and their goals,” he believes the level of sacrifice made by college athletes deserves compensation.

“I want to see them and their families thrive on the work that they put in,” he said. “I feel like enough hard work is put in that these kids should definitely be able to benefit from it in a way that is positive.”

Rep. Kambium Buckner, a Chicago Democrat who cosponsors the bill in the House, played football at the University of Illinois, went to law school and concentrated on sports and entertainment law.

“What I saw firsthand is that the window to profit from skillset and likeness is very short and finite for the majority of these women and men,” he said.

Sterling Brown agreed and said sacrifices players make for college basketball include late nights and time away from family.

“Those who got the bigger names are going to have a bigger chance to go to the NBA and fulfill their dreams financially and on the basketball side,” the younger Brown said. “And some who got big names on campus are not really going to get that shot all the time, so if they can get a little something while they’re in college and while they got that hype and that buzz around their name and everybody is buying their jersey, everybody is watching them and following them, and they can help their family, why not?”

He also said that receiving endorsements at the collegiate level could provide a valuable learning experience for college athletes, some of whom get to the NBA without any education on the “financial and business side of things.”

While the NCAA announced in October, just before the bill’s House passage, that the association would “start the process” of changing its rules to allow athletes to profit from their name and likeness, Welch said at the time the move was a public relations stunt and pressure from states was still necessary.

“We believe the time is right to call it into action.

It’s time to put this bill on the floor, call it for a vote, and let’s get it on the governor’s desk and keep the pressure on the NCAA to do the right thing,” he said Friday.

This week, the Associated Press reported that NCAA President Mark Emmert urged the U.S. Congress to “put restrictions on college athletes’ ability to earn money from

endorsements, telling a Senate committee Tuesday that federal action is needed to ‘maintain uniform standards in college sports’ amid player-friendly laws approved in California and under consideration in other states.”

The NCAA opposed the California bill, which Illinois’ legislation mirrors.

In October House debate, Rep. Anthony DeLuca, a Chicago Heights Democrat, called the bill “a dagger in the heart of amateur athletics.”

Republicans at the time also questioned how it would impact smaller schools, whether bigger name players would have an advantage and whether endorsements could be

performance-based.

But Welch responded in floor debate, saying small-school athletes could pair with local businesses, entire teams could be sponsored and players’ contracts with their schools would address performance-based incentives.

He also said he was open to follow-up legislation.
