Grassroots effort underway to revitalize Greenfield Square By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Much like the initiative in Carrollton two years ago, a group of citizens in Greenfield is wanting to revitalize the town, starting with the Greenfield Square. Lauren Sprung, formerly Lauren Bauer, moved back to Greenfield in May of last year after being gone since she graduated from Greenfield High School in 2009. And Greenfield had changed since she last remembered it. “In conversations with family and friends, they agreed, and we decided to create a Facebook page to address this issue,� Sprung said. “We want to spread the word in hopes to bring awareness and assistance to this initiative.� Thus was born the “Clean Up Greenfield� page, which is now 120 members strong since being created on Jan. 12. “The purpose of the Facebook page is to come up with ideas and then work on cleaning up some of the areas in our city, focusing on the square first and then working our way around the town,� Sprung said. “We just want to get the word out there of what we are trying to do to make sure everyone in the area knows what we are trying to do. We know everyone doesn’t have Facebook.� Their first meeting was held last Tuesday, Jan. 26 at the city hall with 10 people in attendance. “We were hoping more would show up, but it is a start,� Sprung said. “We plan on having a meeting on the last Tuesday of the month, and at our next meeting,

“There is just not a lot of information to report on right now, but hopefully this will get things going and get people interested in wanting to see their town come to life again. It can be done.�

Lauren Sprung Clean Up Greenfield Facebook page manager our goal is to nominate people to be on our board and then in March vote on them, come up with a slogan or name and then get set up as a non-profit organization to help facilitate applying for grant money and getting donations to help with our cause.� Some other ideas discussed at the Tuesday meeting included: Q Creating a detailed map of the square and finding out who owns each parcel of land on the square. Q Contact current owners to understand their intentions with the property (would they sell or want to invest on their own). Q Contact DOT Foods, local banks, etc. that are known to donate to rural development initiatives to learn about grant opportunities.

“This is really in the early stages of this project, but we would like to see if there are any local investors out there who would like to become a part of this project,� Sprung said. “We know there are other areas of town that need addressed, but you have to start somewhere, and the square is the center of our community.� The Facebook page asked if there would be an interest in helping to clean up the town – something that won’t require a lot of start-up cash. Brenda Schulte, a member of Crime Stoppers, said it would be nice to focus on cleaning up the parks. “We have been wanting to get all the parks cleaned up,� she said. “I’m not sure how Greenfield is, but other area parks are dirty with people finding empty baggies and used, even loaded needles – count us in for sure.� Local resident Amanda Talley said even with their hectic schedule, her family of six children would be more than willing to lend a helping hand. “I feel something like this would be great for our kids to be involved in,� Talley said. “It will give them some more sense of respect and love for our town and our community, aside from what they already have.� Sprung said she doesn’t want to take all of the credit and responsibility for the project. Her co-administrator and co-collaborator on the project is Kari Alderfer. “I don’t want to take all the credit or responsibility for this because there are others who are wanting to see this get off the ground as much as I am,� she said. “There is just not a lot of information to report on right now, but hopefully this will get things going and get people interested in wanting to see their town come to life again. It can be done.�

Fun day at work among a winter wonderland Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen was out early Wednesday morning on the John Deere scraping the snow off the sidewalks of the courthouse during the first snowfall of the season. Some may not know that the sheriff is responsible for the upkeep of the courthouse and the courthouse lawn. Rather than spending taxpayer money to hire the removal of the snow, McMillen opted to do the task himself. Of course, the huge smile on his face tells us that he isn’t exactly hating the job – boys and their toys.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Good news for Greene County residents. Region 3, which encompasses Greene, Jersey, Calhoun, Pike, Scott, Macoupin, Morgan, Adams, Brown, Cass, Christian, Hancock, Logan, Mason, Menard, Montgomery, Sangamon and Schuyler counties is down to a 3 percent positivity rate as of Jan. 30. Greene County ended the month of January with 197 positive COVID-19 cases, down from the 269 registered in December. Greene County’s positivity rate stands at 10 percent, a marked jump from the 6.3 percent the previous day, Jan. 29, but significantly lower than the 15.8 percent on Jan. 28, which was off the chart compared to the 4.9 percent of Jan. 27. But, with fewer tests being administered, the more positives that result from those tests are going to result in a higher positivity rate. For example, on the day of the 15.8 positivity rate, there were only 57 tests administered and there were 9 positives in those 57 tests. On the day of the 4.9 positivity rate, there were 61 tests given and only 3 positives reported. But with the Greene County

Health Department moving at a rapid pace administering the COVID-19 vaccine, the number of cases in the future are expected to drop dramatically. The health department received its first 70 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 16 and administered it to local healthcare providers. Since then, they have been receiving regular shipments of 500 dose allotments and, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health website, a total of 1,892 doses of the vaccine have been administered in the county. With a population of 13,044, this amounts to 2.12 percent of the population fully vaccinated. As a whole, the State of Illinois has 1.78 percent of its population vaccinated to date. Compared to surrounding counties, Calhoun has 3 percent of its population vaccinated and Jersey 2.78 percent with Scott at 2.56 percent and Pike at 1.30 percent. They also list that 277 individuals are fully vaccinated being that it takes two doses of the vaccine to be full vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine must be repeated after a two-week period and the Moderna vaccine must be repeated after three weeks. (See, REGION 3, A2)

Roots—and the dirt that spawns them

There are two kinds of roots – those that grow in the ground that make plants grow strong and thrive. And then there are family roots, which theoretically, should do the same. Unfortunately, some are born with roots which aren’t that strong, and some are born with roots that are very strong. Then there are those of us who don’t even know where our roots are planted! I found out, at the age of 30, that I fall into the latter category. Honestly, I wasn’t all that shocked. I always felt like an outsider from the moment I was old enough to remember anything at all. I never felt at home around anyone in my family – even my grandma and grandpa. No, I’m not adopted, but I did find out, at my mom’s visitation, that I had a different father than my two brothers and sister, who are much, much older than myself. My oldest brother is 24 years older than me, and my sister was 16 years older than me. Side note, my mom and my sister were pregnant at the same time, and my niece is three weeks older than me. My family must have been a Jerry Springer episode waiting to happen. Then, going through some papers at home after her death, I found confirmation of this fact in that the man who I was told was my father was actually working as a security guard at a prison up north at the time I would have been conceived – he wasn’t even in the area. They were separated and actually divorced before I was born. For the past several years, I have been wanting to get one of those DNA tests and see where my roots really are and perhaps find some relatives I had no idea were out there. I might be really surprised. Have I piqued you interest yet? The story my mom told me was that she didn’t know she was pregnant with me. She thought she had a tumor and

was scheduled to have said tumor (me) removed. Before she went into the hospital, she decided to paint the living room. I guess the strain of painting caused problems and she called my aunt to take her to the hospital. Once at the hospital, the doctor there informed my mom that the tumor had a heartbeat and she was actually about seven months pregnant. My mom told me that on my first birthday, she took me in to see the doctor that had diagnosed me as a tumor. She wanted him to see how that tumor had grown and how healthy it was. Maybe it was all just a story – I have no way of knowing – but you have to admit, it looks pretty good on paper. So, here is this 40-yearold, divorced woman, in the mid-60s with a newborn baby. Back then, that was more or less taboo. Not to mention pretty rare – a 40 year old with a baby didn’t happen very often back then. She raised me by herself, and I never saw the man I thought was my father until my grandmother’s funeral in 1995. In the back of my mind, I always dreamed that my father was some famous man and I was, perhaps, a rich heiress. Believe it or not, I was a shy, introverted kid that just wanted to disappear under the woodwork when I was around people. Some people would say I have come a long way since then. The man I thought was my father was never ever mentioned in my presence, even after I had grown up. That was a subject that was never brought up. It was almost like he never existed. Except when I was in high school, and she filed to get some kind of money from him from being in World War II as a veteran. It had something to do with going to college. He didn’t fight it, though it took away from his monthly benefits. Then, in 1996, my mom died. At the funeral home my brothers told me that their

father was not my father. Just blurted it out to me – no soft soap, no preparation – just blurted it out. I remember going up to the casket and looking down at my mom and thinking to myself, “Who are you and why did you lie to me all these years?” Their story was my father was a used car salesman from a nearby town by the last name of Duncan. Sure would have been a heck of a lot easier to spell than Ensinger – geesh! Back then, I really had no desire to know anything more. After all, if he was a used car salesman – there goes my rich heiress theory so what was the point. Then, a few weeks later, while I was home going through some things, I went next door to visit with the neighbor and I had one of my brother’s old yearbooks looking at it. There was a girl in there with the last name of Gayer. I remember my mom telling me that there was a man in town with that name who owned a sewing factory, and she worked for him for a time. I looked at her picture and my mouth fell almost to the ground. Let’s put it this way – if I had been walking I would have tripped on my bottom lip. It was like looking into a mirror. The girl in that photo was the spitting image of me! It was totally uncanny the resemblance between the two of us. All of a sudden, the car salesman didn’t seem like my mom’s baby daddy anymore, though I don’t think that term had been coined yet. But the man who had sired this child sure did. If the girl in this photo and I were not more than 20 years apart, we could have been twins. Up until that point, what my brothers told me were just words, but now it looked like I was staring at the truth – at least some portion of it. A couple years ago, someone posted a picture of the third grade class that this girl

was in and it put the names beside the kids. There was my doppelganger. I’m sure she moved Much Ado a w a y About after high Nothing school, and I BY CARMEN know her ENSINGER father was long dead, so I never saw a need to look into it further. So, I left and started my life up here in Carrollton. But, as I grow older and since these DNA tests have gotten so popular, now I kind of do want to know the truth. I don’t know why – I can’t explain it. I’ve spent the last 20 years telling myself I really didn’t care about it at all, but deep down, I do. One of the last conversations I had with my mom in the nursing home I jokingly said to her, “Hey Mom, why don’t you tell me I got some rich dad somewhere?” She said, “No, you all have the same father.” For some reason, that lie was so important to her that she took it to the grave with her. Later on, I would find out that most of the town knew the truth as well. But no one ever said a word. I lived in that town for 30 years and never had a clue. It was the best kept secret since what happened to Jimmy Hoffa. So, I think I might just order that DNA test. There are so many of them out there that I really don’t know which one to order. If anyone out there has taken one and have any preferences, please drop a line to me on my Facebook page and tell me why you like or dislike it. Come on, tell the truth, when you read the title you thought I was going to talk about my plants – didn’t you? I guess I come by my deception naturally.

closure. “I ended up closing my shop in Boulder, because I just couldn’t pay my employees because people just weren’t shopping,” he said. “Things are a lot more expensive out there, and there is a lot more overhead than there is here. That was a big reason for us moving to this area – we can really stretch a dollar here.” He also said he really enjoys the sense of community this area offers. “There are just generally good people around here,” he said. “I was thinking it would be a lot more lonely than it is, but now that I have been here awhile, I see faces that I recognize and people now recognize me." While Illinois is new to the sale of legalized hemp products, the State of Colorado has had it for many years, therefore, DiChiaro is more or less an expert when it comes to the product. For many Illinoisians, the stigma associated with the plant from the 60s and the Cheech and Chong era still remains “My main focus is going to be to educate local people on hemp,” he said. “My hope is to destigmatize it by using science – science trumps all,” he said. “People can do their own research, but I can provide the outlets if they are interested in learning.” DiChiaro can personally vouch for the effects CBD has on pain. “I personally got into hemp after I had to have a shoulder replacement after an injury playing college baseball,” he said. “After a couple shoulder surgeries that didn’t work, that is when I started believing in holistic medicine. We are not masking the pain, we are addressing it at the root of the pain, and that is where you can find relief and you can heal

yourself so that is one of the main reasons why I fell in love with this plant is that it just has so many benefits for so many people.” So, what is the difference between hemp and marijuana? Marijuana is something that contains more than 3/10ths of one percent THC content, which is one of the many secretions the hemp plant makes. THC is the psychoactive ingredient that causes the high associated with marijuana. The plant also produces CBD, but CBD is a non-psychoactive ingredient. “So, what I will be growing will not get people stoned,” DiChiaro said. “It looks the same, smells the same, but it just doesn’t have the same compound of THC in it.” In other words, what he will be growing may relieve pain, but won’t get you high. Still, moving to Carrollton with such a business took a major leap of faith. “I was really hesitant I would just be pitchforked out of town, but I took a leap of faith and we just approached it very logically and met with the right people,” DiChiaro said. “We met with the mayor and took a very professional approach. We are licensed, and we are not stinking hippies smoking grass – we are business people and this is a business. But it is also a lot more than a business to me. This has been a lifelong goal to me. “I think this plant could potentially revitalize our country and decrease our foreign dependence on everything from fossil fuels to lumber and bring us back together as a country. With all of the importing we are doing, we have really gone away from being a self-sufficient country and this plant has the opportunity to create jobs and help us become self-sufficient again.”

Most of us today view hemp for only medicinal purposes, but the truth is hemp has its roots, pun totally intended, in almost every facet of American life, from the clothing we wear to the house we live in. DiChiaro first learned about the many uses of hemp from his Grandfather Dech, who grew up in a small town in Yugoslavia. “My grandfather said the only rich farmer was a hemp farmer, and in the town he lived in, they had a hemp processing plant for building materials,” he said. “Every town had a different plant to process different functions of the plant. One town might have a processing plant for making rope, another one for making plastics, another one for making fabric for clothes – each town specialized in a certain process.” Governments didn’t shy away from the plant either. All of the uniforms for the English soldiers during World War I were made of hemp and the U.S. Navy was one of the largest growers of hemp in the United States. “People don’t realize that at one time this was really a big part of everything,” DiChiaro said. “My grandpa thought hemp was the coolest plant and we would talk for hours about all the cool stuff you could do with it.” While the infrastructure isn’t in place at the moment for growing hemp for all of these products, the quality of the soil and the growing conditions are good for it. For now, DiChiaro and his business partner, Fisher, who he says makes this venture possible, are open for business Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. They do not have a Facebook page yet, but you can visit DiChiaro’s Facebook page and see what they have to offer and they will even ship it to you if you want.

(Continued from A1) DiChiaro has a background in industrialized hemp all the way from mass cultivation to the extraction process to the product formulation. “Illinois just legalized hemp last year, so we saw this as a really good opportunity to get out of a saturated market in Colorado and come to rural Illinois,” he said. “So, myself, Isabel and my brother, Julian, negotiated with the owners of the Flower Mill to let us take over back in August of last year.” That is when tragedy struck. “We moved out here in August and put our heart and soul into this place and opened up our clothing shop, and then on Dec. 16, my brother Julian was tragically killed in a car accident outside of St. Louis, so we shut down for the holidays,” DiChiaro said. “Kind of in his legacy, we are going to stick to our guns, and we are going to follow through with this project. We decided that a percentage of all of our profits are going to go to his two-yearold daughter and four-year-old son.” As the new kid on the block, the first thing DiChiaro did was go around and meet his fellow businessmen. One of his first stops was to Mary Michelle Winery, where he met owner Ed Hindelang. “He told me that when the IGA store closed that he lost one of his major distribution sites in this area, so we have partnered up to use this as a distribution center for their wines,” DiChiaro said. “If all goes well with the city, we will be able to get a pour license so people can taste the wine here as well.” Before moving to Carrollton, DiChiaro had his own clothing store in Boulder, but, as with many small businesses, the pandemic resulted in its

Things to know about Moderna vaccine

By BILL HOAGLAND There are a number of vaccines being developed to combat the COVID-19 virus, and two are already being administered here in the US: the Pfizer mRNA and Moderna mRNA vaccines. Others are on the way, but it appears that in our part of Illinois, the vaccine currently available for eligible groups is Moderna. So, I thought it would be helpful to review the official report of the test results published after Phase III of this vaccine was concluded. This is just my non-professional interpretation of that report, so for the specifics, you should read the official report, found in the December 30, 2020 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine at NEJM.org. If you can’t find it and want a copy of the complete text, send me an email. The Moderna mRNA vaccine was tested in three phases. The third phase, designed to test the efficacy of the vaccine, involved roughly 30,000 participants at various locations throughout the US. An effort was made to test the vaccine on a broad spectrum of the population and included participants over 65 years of age, those less than 65 who had heightened risks due to certain preexisting conditions as well as those between 18 and 65 years of age who did not have heightened risks; participants also included racial and ethnic minorities. One half of the participants was given the Moderna two-dose vaccine and the other half was given a placebo or fake shot. The second Moderna dose was given 28 days after the first one. All participants were tested 14 days after the first dose just to be sure they had not contracted COVID-19 after the program began. Then, they were tested again 14 days after the second dose and this testing continued periodically for a total of 63 days following the second dose. At the conclusion of 63 days, the official report was prepared. As of 63 days after the second dose was administered, here is what we know: the Moderna vaccine had a 94.1 percent success rate, meaning that after the second dose, almost all of the participants who received the two doses did not get the virus later. But, 11 participants who got the two doses did later get the virus. On the other hand, 185 participants who instead received the placebo also later got the virus. This is sufficient proof that the vaccine is effective—maybe not completely effective but close enough. Another “good” news aspect of this is that all 11 participants who later contracted the virus had only mild symptoms whereas many of the placebo participants had severe symptoms when they later contracted the virus. Finally, the tests established that the vaccine appears to be effective regardless of age, possible pre-existing conditions, race or ethnicity. To the extent there were some participants who received just one dose and did not receive the second dose, there is some evidence that even just one dose is more effective than not getting any dose at all but it is not as efficient as two doses and it is not recommended that participants skip the second dose. Admittedly, there are many unanswered questions about the Moderna vaccine. How long will it remain effective? What happens if you can’t get the second dose in those 28 days? Will the vaccine be effective if the virus continues to mutate? These issues will have to be resolved over time. Moderna will continue to monitor this control group for two years and try to answer these remaining questions. Finally, I should mention that many of those persons who received the vaccination had side effects from the shots. The side effects included soreness at the injection site, and in many cases, fatigue, headaches, myalgia and joint soreness which tended to last from one to three days after the injection. In a few cases, the side effects did not show up until a week later. The severity of the side effects was generally graded at 1 or 2, meaning minimal discomfort, although there were some exceptions to this as detailed in the report. Sure, there still are unanswered questions about Moderna. Only time will tell. But shouldn’t our goal be herd immunity? And the only way we will accomplish that is for all of us to step up and take the vaccination when it becomes available. Count me in.

Sunday Jan. 24, the pastor opened with prayer and announcements, Bro. Brad led singing and Bro. Kirk sang and played, “Long Black Train.� Message: The Beast and Satan a short season to Rule Scripture: Revelation 13: 1-10 God’s word is a wealth of wisdom; only one ruler is the God – The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

School to win a regional championship in 1966. He loved playing fast pitch softball, the L.A. Dodgers, golf, and University of IL basketball. He was inducted into the Springfield Sports Hall of Fame and the Calhoun Sports Hall of fame. He was a sought after fastpitch softball pitcher. After retirement, he spent the remainder of his days on his farm in Carrollton that he truly loved. He spent many days working on a tractor plowing and planting. He especially enjoyed working on the farm with his grandchildren. Many will remember his warm, engaging smile, sense of humor, strong faith and character, and his tremendous love for his family. Larry had a great love for the Lord and was a faithful member of the Believer’s Baptist Church of Carrollton, IL where he served on the board of deacons since 1977. He truly loved telling everyone about Jesus Christ. A drive by visitation was held on Monday, February 1st, from 10:00 to 11:30 am at Believers Baptist Church southwest of Carrollton on the Woodville blacktop. A private family funeral was held following visitation. The public was invited to graveside rites at Eldred Memorial Gardens Cemetery at 1:00 pm. For everyone’s safety, the family requested that all CDC mandates be followed, and masks were required. Memorial donations may be made to Believers Baptist Church. Condolences may be left online at: www.airsmanhires.com.

We are still in Phase 3 of our plan for gathering. This can be found on all the doors, bulletin boards and Facebook. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for the Outreach Ministry for this quarter. Sunday School, at 9:30 a.m. is available on Zoom. Sunday morning worship at 10:30 is now also available on Zoom. Plus, it will be downloaded later to Facebook. We hope everyone who is still uneasy about attending in person will join our worship services.

From the desk of Pastor David Slagle – 473-1892: Even with the cool temperatures, snow and rain showers, we enjoyed a great gathering of the Walkerville Church family this morning. We begin the morning by moving some items back into our worship area. In the past few days, our worship area received a fresh coat of paint for the ceiling, walls and front entrance way.

When Religion Becomes Drudgery “It is imperfection in Religion to drudge in it, and every man drudges in Religion if he takes it up as a task and carries it as a burden.� –Benjamin Whichcote

G

oing to church, reading scripture, and praying can become drudgery if we see these things as nothing more than tasks which must be done rather than a joyful communion with our Creator. It is good to pray and read scripture every day, and to go to church regularly, but if you are only doing it out of a sense of duty you are missing the spirit of the thing and are surely not getting out of it what you might be if you could connect with the joy at the center of all true religion. When we cannot go to church or read scripture we may feel the lack to such a degree that we regain the sense of joy when we

Announcements: No Bible study this Wednesday evening. The business meeting is on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. Available in person or on Zoom. We are also taking part in the baby bottle challenge for the Women’s Crisis Center in Jacksonville. You can take a baby bottle, available at the church, and fill it with your change and bring it back to the church by the end of February and Bro. Isaac will see that it is taken to the Crisis Center. Bro. Isaac’s message today was from John 1: 29-42.

Verse 6. Two of the most remarkable statements by Jesus are found in this one verse: “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.� In making these statements, he prepared the disciples for his impending death, which prompted questions by Thomas and Philip. Clearly Jesus is the only way to God. For almost one year, people have stayed away from church gatherings and gathered by Zoom among other means of meeting. Some have wandered away from the church altogether, searching for answers to their spiritual needs.

Wednesday night prayer meeting is at 6.p.m. Remember it all begins with prayer. If we want and expect God to move, we must be grounded in prayer and His word.

John was a follower of Christ. Are you? Do you know someone you need to tell about Jesus? We have all sinned. We have the ten Commandments as a guide to how we should live our lives. Christ took our sins on himself. Jesus is not only our sacrifice but He is also God. We are called to follow after God. We need to tell others that if they confess their sins and ask forgiveness they can be saved. Make it a point of telling others about your Savior. You are always welcome at Hillview Baptist.

OBITUARIES

Larry Joseph Churchman, 80, of Carrollton, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, January 26, 2021, with his beloved wife and children at his side at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, IL. Born on March 29, 1940, up Churchman Hollow in Kampsville, IL, he was the son of the late Charles Freemont “Jake� and Nellie (Brangenberg) Churchman. He will lovingly be remembered by his wife, the former Patsy Bland, whom he wed on June 14, 1964. Larry and Patsy met while he was serving as her crew boss when detasseling corn at Columbiana Seed Company. Together, they were blessed with three children: Alan (Michelle) Churchman of Jerseyville, Kathy (Brian) Schnettgoecke and Vicki (Randall) Custer, both of Carrollton. He was extremely proud of his grandchildren: Seth and Sean Churchman, Brent and Baily Schnettgoecke, Madlyn, Breden, and Claire Elaine Custer. He is also survived by his sister, Doris (Don) Eageny of Elgin. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Russell Churchman, and a stepfather, Merlin “Doe� Richter. He was also preceded in death by his cousin and “best friend�, Roy Brangenberg. Larry was a proud 1958 graduate of Hardin High School, where he began a successful basketball career, leading his team to the 1957 regional championship. After high school, Larry attended SIUE where he played basketball as a starting point guard for the Cougars. He received his BS in Physical Education and later received his MS in Instructional Technology, both from SIUE. Larry was an educator at Calhoun High School for 31 years, serving as a social studies teacher, physical education teacher, dean of students, as well as coaching track, baseball, and basketball. He was the first basketball coach at Calhoun High

Perhaps a better way to regain that experience of holy joy is to occasionally alter how you pray, read scripture, or otherwise practice religion. Going to a different church, praying new prayers, or simply engaging in different religious practices can sometimes reconnect us to God in a way that our old routines cannot. –Christopher Simon

Greenfield High School Carrollton looking into distance learning classroom purchases Chromebooks By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Every student at Greenfield High School will have their own Chromebook next year after the Greenfield School Board approved the purchase of 105 new Chromebooks at their Jan. 25 school board meeting. High School Principal Beth Bettis presented a proposal to the board for the purchase of the Chromebooks, that will allow the district to have a computer for each student at the high school. “If we get them ordered now, we hope we can be one-on-one next year,� Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “But with so many districts ordering them, and the probability they might be backordered, it may be two years before we get them. But either way, for a little school like ours, that is kind of nice and exciting for our school.� Bowman said they have been utilizing their computer labs when computers were needed in the classrooms. “But in the last year, with remote learning and using Google Classroom, we think we are ready to use computers in the classroom a lot more,� Bowman said. The cost of the 105 computers comes to $31,755, which includes the Chromebooks, licenses and cases. Bowman said funding to pay for the computers will come from grant funds from the REAP (Rural Education Achievement Program) grant they receive. However, he said the district might be able to use some of the $410,000 in federal stimulus money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund that the district is supposed to receive. Bowman did not address the receipt of these funds to the board and was asked why, since both North Greene and Carrollton discussed what they intended to possibly use the funds for, once the parameters of the grant were released by the federal government. “I didn’t bring it up because we haven’t gotten anything yet and until we see it, I’m not going to count on it coming because we have done that in the past, like in 2008,� Bowman said. “We were supposed to receive all that money from the federal government through ARRA, and the state turned around and didn’t make their payments. So while we received the federal money we didn’t get the state money, so until I see that money – I think I will wait.� Even if they do receive the money, Bowman said he doesn’t know what restrictions might be placed on the money. “You just never know what, when all the politicians get together and get to planning, they are going to come up with as far as what we can use the money for,� Bowman said. “I think they said they were going to release what the restric-

tions are around mid-February, so we should know by the next board meeting. So, I will just patiently wait.� The board approved bids for several major construction projects to be completed over the summer including a replacement window project at the high school and the replacement of the roof at the high school gym and at the elementary school. The bid for the roofing project was awarded to Limbaugh Construction for both projects in the amount of $361,000 for a new acrylic roof, and the high school window project was awarded to L and M for $249,364. “We were pretty excited with the numbers we received on our window bids,� Bowman said. “We plan on doing the north, south and east windows this year, and while it wasn’t part of the action this time, we are going to go ahead and have the architect look at finishing up the windows at the high school.� Also associated with the window project, the board approved the bid from AES, Inc. to abate the asbestos on the project in the amount of $50,000. The bids also came in good on the roofing project. So good that the district is now looking at installing new football lights at the football field. “We are going to go ahead and get those started if we can, so we might go ahead and put bids out for those,� Bowman said. The board approved a bid from Limbaugh Construction for the high school gym roof and the elementary roof with an acrylic coating, for combined bid of $361,000. With sports starting up very soon, the board approved a contract with School Broadcast Program for two Pixellot Systems for use in recording and streaming video for $2,500. “We are looking at putting this system in the gym and at the football field just in case there is a limit to the amount of people we can allow into a game,� Bowman said. “This way, parents and grandparents or anyone, will be able to watch the kids play.� Pixellot is an automated video service that does not require a human to video record the game. It allows anyone, via a subscription to the service, which Bowman says he subscribes to for $10.99 a month, to watch games from any school who has the service in all 50 states and from around the world. Until then, he said they will probably have to stream the games live on Facebook for those not able to attend the game because of attendance restrictions. Board member Elliott Turpin reported on the Greenfield Foundation for Educational Excellence. The treasurer’s balance is $18,457.34. They were awarded $1,000 from the Stanley Frech Charitable Trust. The Annual Spring Pork Chop Dinner will tentatively take place on March 21.

Local student named candidate in U.S. Presidential Scholars program Sarah Mcevers, a graduating senior at North Greene and daughter of Chuck McEvers and Amber Nash, has been named one of more than 4,500 candidates in the 2021 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The candidates were selected from nearly 3.6 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in the year 2021. Inclusion in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program is one of the highest honors bestowed upon graduating high school seniors. Scholars are selected on the basis of superior academic and artistic achievements, leadership qualities, strong character and involvement in community and school activities. The U.S. The Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by the executive order of the president, to recognize some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic success, leadership, service to school and community. It was expanded in 1979 to recognize students demonstrating exceptional scholarship and talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was expanded once again to

recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical fields. Annually, up to 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars are chosen from among that year’s senior class, representing excellence in education and the promise of greatness in America’s youth. If circumstances permit, all scholars are invited to Washington D.C. in June for the National Recognition Program, featuring various events and enrichment activities and culminating in the presentation of the Presidential Scholars Medallion during a White House-sponsored ceremony. A distinguished panel of educators will review these submissions and select approximately 600 semifinalists in early April. The Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of up to 32 eminent citizens appointed by the President, will select the finalists, and the U.S. Department of Education will announce the scholars in May. If circumstances permit, scholars will be invited to Washington, DC, for several days in June to receive the Presidential Scholars Medallion at a recognition ceremony and to participate in events and activities.

You are encouraged to check the Greenfield CUSD #10 pages for information about where to go to catch the games.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Superintendent Mark Halwachs informed school board members at the Jan. 25 board meeting of a grant program offered by the federal government that would pay for the majority of the cost of setting up a distance learning classroom at the high school. “This is a rural school district grant where the federal government will pay 85 percent of the cost, and the district will pay the other 15 percent,� Halwachs said. “A school has the option of being a host classroom where they host the class or being a remote classroom where we offer the classes to students that are being taught by other schools that we are not able to offer.� The cost of the options varies widely. To become a host school costs $40,000 with the federal government kicking in $34,000 of the cost and the district $6,000, and to become a host school is $80,000 with the split being $12,000 for the district and $68,000 for the federal government. “If people take this seriously, this could be a really good thing for rural communities,� Halwachs said. “It could allow us to offer classes to students that we could never offer otherwise, such as a foreign language, or an advanced math or physics class.� Halwachs said he has been talking with other local superintendents to get their opinions on the program. “Mark Scott (North Greene Superintendent), and I have talked about it quite a lot,� Halwachs said. “We have talked about trying to increase our CTE (Career and Technical Education) offerings. We are still in the initial stages, but we are trying to just open it up to see what we can offer to our students.� The way it would work is that if a school decides to become a host school for a class, that school’s students would have the first option for openings in the classroom. If the classroom has an opening for 18 students and only 12 students from that district want to take the course, that leaves six spots open for remote students. As for the cost for remote students taking the course, that will be determined by the amount that the host school pays a teacher to teach that course. The cost would be broken down into one-eighteenth’s, so if Carrollton had three students in the course, they would pay one-eighteenth of the cost times the three students. The host school would bear the burden of their own 12 students, and the other school, or schools, would pay for the other three students. “There would be some costs to this program to the district, but it would be significantly lower than it would be if you had to house that one teacher for this course here,� Halwachs said. “This would

Halwachs said. “Any of the schools in our area might be offering a course that our students want to take, or a school in Wyoming might be offering a class in agriculture that our students want to take. The possibilities are endless with this program.â€? Halwach advised the board that the district is expected to receive a little over $409,000 in federal stimulus money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund. Other districts in the area are receiving funding as well. Greenfield is receiving $410,715 while North Greene will receive $1.4 million.

This rebound is just out of reach of the hands of North Greene’s Levi Ballard but right into the waiting hands of the Saukee player.

North Greene’s Wil Merriman makes it look easy as he goes to the basket for two during the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

Sports on – spectators out By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press As they say – there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that students will get to play athletics at the junior and high school levels. The bad news is that parents, grandparents and other friends and family will not be allowed to attend the games and cheer on the athletes. “Due to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) guidelines put into place last week stating that spectators must be 30 feet from the playing surface, North Greene will not be able to allow spectators at their athletic contests at this time,� North Greene Athletic Director Brett Berry said. “We have a pretty good size gym for the area, and we are struggling to get 28 feet to the top row of the bleachers. We were all excited and ready to go with our 50 spectators and had a pretty good system in place to allow families to see their kids play, but when they put that 30-foot guideline in place, that shut everything down.� Fortunately, North Greene was thinking ahead last fall when they purchased an automated camera system for the high school gym and football field. “We had been wanting to do this for a while, and then Pixellot came out with a pretty good deal on their automated camera system,� Berry said. “Something that would normally cost around $7,000 was down to around

$3,000, so we went ahead and purchased it so we are up and ready to go.� The system is fully automated, meaning it doesn’t have to have a human to operate it. “All we have to do is put our schedule in and set the broadcast time, and the camera kicks on about 15 minutes before game time and broadcasts the game live to the internet over the NFHS Network,� Berry said. “The games are also archived so you can go back and watch them anytime you want. It is a really neat system, and we are really glad we decided to purchase it when we did.� There is a camera system in the high school gym and one at the football field. Berry said the plan is to have the junior high games played in the high school gym unless there is a high school game planned at the same time. “If there is a high school game planned on the same night, our plan is to have someone with an iPad video the game and stream it live to the NFHS Network,� Berry said. “You will be able to choose which game you want to watch.� There is a fee involved to subscribe to the NFHS Network. Subscribers can either subscribe by the month for $10.99 per month and receive unlimited games throughout the month from anywhere in the United States or around the world or pay $69.99 for a full year’s subscription. The monthly subscription fee is no more than a family

of four would pay in gate fees to get into a basketball or football game, which leads up to another issue – the loss of those gate fees to the district. North Greene and every other district in the area will be losing thousands of dollars in gate fees. Those gate fees are used to help pay the referees and other sports related expenses. “Fortunately, referee fees are something that is already budgeted for ahead of time in the school budget,� Berry said. “But we are going to take a hit this year because gate fees do help with that.� Depending on the sport and the team played, gate fees can bring in a significant amount of money in a single night. “Take a football game against Carrollton or Winchester,� Berry said. “We might take in $1,000 or $1,500 in a single night – that’s a big chunk of change to lose out on.� Of course, football doesn’t start until March, and nothing has been said about allowing spectators to outdoor sporting events – yet. While players will finally get to take to the court, the empty gym might take a while for players to get used to. “I think it might be a challenge for our players because they are used to the noise of the crowd and the cheering of the cheerleaders,� Berry said. “They are used to looking up and seeing their family and friends – not an empty gym. It might take them a while to

get used to it.� Berry said he is going to talk to the IHSA officials to see if maybe they can have some music playing in the background or perhaps some crowd noise over the speaker system. To address the issues with the cheerleaders, the IHSA/ IESA and IDPH guidelines state that cheerleaders must be 30 feet off the floor as well. They should also avoid shouting, singing and chanting – which is basically what a cheerleader does. If they were allowed to be on the court they could clap and stomp. “This is very unfortunate for our young ladies involved with cheer at both the high school and junior high levels,� Berry said. “In an effort to provide an opportunity for our students to perform, we will be creating a Cheer Performance Event where our cheer squads will perform their cheers, dances and routines.� This event will be live streamed through the NFHS Network for parents and fans to enjoy live as well as video on demand. “We completely understand that this is not an ideal situation for athletes, parents and fans, but the important piece to remember is that all of this is for our kids,� Berry said. “We are very grateful for our students to have the opportunity to return to athletics. We appreciate all of the support and flexibility that our parents and community members have shown during this trying time.�

Brady Rhoades, 9, of Carrollton was feeling angelic and decided to fall back and make a snow angel Wednesday afternoon during the first snow of the season.

Bill and Doris celebrate their 70th anniversary Bill and Doris DeShasier were married on Feb. 10, 1951, at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla. Bill is the son of the late Charles and Mae DeShasier of White Hall, and Doris is the daughter of the late Harry and Ida Bushnell of Eldred. Bill and Doris were blessed with five children, Don and Kathie DeShasier of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Joe DeShasier of Las Vegas, Nev., Sandra Wharton (deceased), Lavonne and Stanley Albers of Beckemeyer and Teresa and Steve Mullins of Germantown. Bill and Doris have eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Their earlier years were spent in Norfolk, Va. With Bill in the Navy aboard a ship the two returned to White Hall for a few years before retiring to Beckemeyer to be near family. After retirement, Doris and Bill both enjoyed traveling with their motor home out west every winter, country dancing and working in the family orchard. They moved into Cedarhurst Assisted Living in Breese five years ago so they could spend their time enjoying life. Doris and Bill have met a lot of people over the years and have many dear friends.
