Brown breaks all-time scoring record at North Greene

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press North Greene senior Lakeleigh Brown broke the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time scoring record on Jan. 20 at a home game against Carrollton.

Brown scored 1,276 points breaking the record set by Andrea McQuillen back in 2006. Since that night, she has brought the record up to 1,341 points during her career with four more games to go in the regular season.

Brown was very humble when asked how she felt about breaking the school record for most points scored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt very proud, and it was very exciting for me, but without my team it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very exciting to know that now I hold that record.â&#x20AC;?

Brown is the daughter of Chad and Linda Brown and is a triplet. Brothers Brady and Keaton are also outstanding athletes and challenged Brown to be the best she could be while they were growing up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we are all the same age, we have always been very competitive when it came to sports,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can remember being a really little

kid and playing basketball with them at Roodhouse during the Youth League Basketball. They are rough on me sometimes, so it teaches me to be more competitive when it comes to sports and I think that has helped me a lot.â&#x20AC;?

High School Head Girls Basketball Coach Jim Roesch has had the pleasure of coaching Brown her entire high school career and watched her hone her talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has always had a lot of talent, but sometimes she is such a nice kid. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent four years trying to get her to be selfish and to be more aggressive looking to score,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you have players who score a lot of points and the whole focal point of the offense is on them, but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow that to happen. She has gotten better with it through the years though.â&#x20AC;?

This year the team needed her more than ever as the only other senior on the team, Tori Smith, was out for the first part of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her before the season started that we are a very young team this year, and with her being the only senior she was going to have to kind of put the team on her shoulder,

and she has done a good job at that,â&#x20AC;? Roesch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has allowed the younger players to develop throughout the season and really been the leader.â&#x20AC;?

She has really stepped up her game this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year she is more relaxed, and she is playing and enjoying the game,â&#x20AC;? Roesch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is also more aggressive this year and taken the ball in to score and draw the foul.

That is good basketball.â&#x20AC;?

Her statistics for this year is evidence of that. She is leading in just about every aspect of the game this season.

She leads in scoring with an average of 15.5 points per game; rebounding with 7.8 per game; assists with 2.6 per game; steals with 6.1 per game; deflections with 6.1 per game; shooting percentage with 59.3 percent (150-253); three-point shooting percentage with 42.9 percent (9-21).

Overall during her career she has: 685 rebounds (3rd alltime), 252 assists (6th all time), 480 steals (school record), 15 blocked shots (26th all time), 619 deflections (school record), 532 field goals made (school record), 28 three pointers made

North Greene senior Lakeleigh Brown became the all-time leading scorer for the Lady Spartans on Jan. 20 when she scored her 1,276th point in her career. Scoring an average of 15.5 points per game this season, she is on her way to scoring close to 1,400 points in her four years at North Greene. Brown scored 22 points Monday night against the Greenfield Tigers.

The School Maintenance Project Grant is from the State of Illinois. The State will give school districts up to $50,000 to do projects in the districts providing the dis-

trict can match the funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of those extra projects that you probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do unless you have a grant to do it with,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate the project is going to cost between $100,000 to $125,000, so this grant is going to cut that project in half.â&#x20AC;?

Bowman said the locker rooms are original to the building, which was built in 1966. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is original from the lockers to the fixtures,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have all more than exceeded their life expectancy.â&#x20AC;?

Emergency personnel investigate and clean up at the scene of a two-vehicle collision that killed a 19-year-old Jerseyville resident.

Soft lockdowns initiated Greenfield resident involved in fatal collision during search for missing teen

By JARAD JARMON Jersey County Journal A 19-year-old Jerseyville resident died following a head-on vehicle collision with a tractortrailer truck at 3:25 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4, on US 67 at Kristie Lane, according to Illinois State Police.

Police officials in the news release say Christian M. Cazier, 19, driving a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, was traveling northbound on US 67, and Robert L. Gilbert Sr, 60, of Greenfield,

driving a Peterbuilt truck-tractor semi-trailer combination, was traveling southbound on the road.

According to police, Cazierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane and struck the truck head-on. Cazier was pronounced deceased on scene by the Jersey County Coroner at 4 p.m., police say.

The Illinois State Police Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit is continuing the investigation and no further information was provided as of Tuesday evening.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton High School, grade school and St. Johns School, along with the courthouse and Boyd Hospital, were on lockdown for most of Jan. 29 and the games scheduled to be played during the Lady Hawk Invitational Tournament were cancelled.

The lockdowns were the result of an active investigation regarding a thenmissing Carrollton teenager.

According to the Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross, officers received a report of a missing 17-year-old juvenile on Wednesday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the investigation progressed, it was believed that he was in possession of a firearm,â&#x20AC;? Gross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With his whereabouts and intentions unknown, soft lockdown protocols were initiated.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These protocols are in place for the safety of our schools and public buildings,â&#x20AC;? Gross added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and administrators went into action without question keeping everyone safe.â&#x20AC;?

Vacant building collapses in Roodhouse

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press There was no question the building was going to collapse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the big question was when.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been falling in for two years, and it just finally collapsed Monday night.â&#x20AC;?

Tommy Martin Roodhouse Mayor That question was answered Monday night when the building formerly owned by Frank Hopkins in the 100 block of Morse St. (just off the Roodhouse Square) collapsed in the back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been falling in for two years,

and it just finally collapsed Monday night,â&#x20AC;? Roodhouse Mayor Tommy Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First, one side in the back collapsed, and then the other side, and then last night the middle collapsed. It was just a matter of time.â&#x20AC;?

The building was bought for taxes

by ABW Auctions of Plainview, and repeated letters from the city attorney about the state of the building and its imminent collapse have been ignored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our attorney has sent them several letters, and they refuse to respond to them,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have sent them pictures as it has progressively fallen in more and more. The city will probably end up being hung with the cleanup of them.â&#x20AC;?

Earlier news stories stated that two buildings had collapsed, but Martin said only one had collapsed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other building next to it is not in that bad of shape,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is up for taxes as well, and we are waiting for the County Board to give us the okay to buy it. Years ago, that building was a savings and loan and then a

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Losing your antlers is just a sign of growth In most parts of the country an odd thing begins to occur for a deer during this time of year. The bucks begin to lose their antlers.

By losing, I mean the antlers become loose because of several factors, and they just fall off. These abandoned antlers are called sheds. And many people enjoy shed hunting during February and March.

If they are not scooped up during this time, the squirrels and other critters will eat most of them. But when found, they make great decorations and can be worth money to others as well. But can you imagine now, what that gigantic ten pointer looks like without his most prized possession?

Well, he looks like every

other deer – pretty normal.

And not only does he look like every other deer, he no longer has the advantage he once had. And he no longer commands the respect he once commanded. And he has no greater weapons than the younger and lighter-weight deer.

By this simple process of nature, he is stripped of his singular identity and now must allow himself to blend in with other deer of every sort until the time comes when he once again will separate himself as an even more impressive animal than before.

In all of our lives, there come times when God causes our antlers to fall off.

Sometimes he does so

without our consent and other times he comes to us and asks us to step away from positions and/or possessions.

In those periods, he strips us of those things that were once what we were known for – our identity. Instead of setting us up, he sets us aside. Instead of surrounding us with fans, he surrounds us with all sorts of individuals, many of whom have been striped as well.

And he works on us, but not on the outside, on the inside. And there he feeds us, strengthens us, and reminds us that our trust and our identity is not in who we are or what we have, but it is in whose we are. And when we have re-grasped that truth, he

sends us back out as the special person he has m a d e us to be with m o r e wisdom, strength, beauty, and usefulness than we had ever had before…….Until he must remind us all over again.

“Once the deputy discovered the subject, it was determined that he was deceased and the Greene County Coroner’s Office was notified,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said. “Greene County Coroner Danny Powell responded to the scene where he pronounced the subject deceased and made identification. The Coroner’s Office has determined that Mr. Lane died

as a result of a single gunshot to the head.”

No foul play is suspected.

A joint investigation is being conducted by the Sheriff’s Office, the Coroner’s Office and the Carrollton Police Department.

A GoFundMe page was set up by Lane’s aunt, Cathy Wiessing, with a goal of raising $5,000 to help pay for his funeral expenses. That goal was met in a matter of days, and as of Monday, almost $7,000 had been raised for the family to lay their son to rest.

“There are no words adequate enough to express how deeply grateful Randy and his family are for the support and donations of so many people,” Wiessing said on the GoFundMe page.

“The loss of William has been devastating and life-shattering for everyone who loved him. We are blessed by the generosity shown by so many through this GoFundMe account because it has enabled him to pay final arrangements in honor of his son.”

demolition and cleanup of the building is going to cost.

“The bad part about it is that it is not just brick and boards we have to get rid of – there is a ton of other stuff that has been left in there by people,” he said. “It is probably going to fill up a lot of dumpsters in a hurry.”

Martin said the front of the build-

ing is not yet crumbling but as a safety precaution barricades have blocked off half of that section of Morse St. since last summer.

“We have had the back barricaded off for quite some time but the wind has blown the barricades down. I guess you could say that it is falling as good as it could,” Martin said.

“She’s been a joy to be around, and her growth as a player and person have been tremendous. Her sister, Makendra Jennings, was a standout for us a few years ago and her brothers, Keaton and Brady Brown, are terrific young people as well.

Lakeleigh’s parents, Chad and Linda Brown, should be commended for raising such tremendous children.”

The district is seeking bids on a new bus, which they do every year.

Full closure of I-255 began over weekend The Illinois Department of Transportation is reminding are residents that the first phase of repairs to a crumbling section of Interstate 255 began Saturday.

The project, one of the first under Gov. JB Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois capital program, requires a full closure of I-255 in both directions between Interstate 64 and Interstate 55/70 for approximately five months.

“While we are eager to start working on I-255, we need the public’s help to truly make this project a success,” Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman said.

“If you rely on I-255 or regularly drive in the nearby area, start thinking about other routes. Expect longer travel times, especially the first few days. Working together, we will build a new-and-improved I-255 that makes travel safer and more reliable for many years to come.”

While Interstates 55/70 and 64 will be the marked detour, depending on direction of travel, the following alternate routes are recommended: Illinois 3, Illinois 15, Illinois 157, Illinois 158, Illinois 159 and Illinois 161. Public transportation and traveling during offpeak hours are encouraged as well.

“The Illinois State Police contin-

ues to work closely with IDOT to ensure the safety of all workers, the motoring public and state troopers who patrol the highways so they’re able to safely respond to calls for service in a timely manner,” Lt. Christy White said.

Closing I-255 completely means the project can be done quicker, cheaper and safer.

By removing traffic from I-255, the necessary repairs can be completed in one construction season instead of the four years it would take if construction was staged.

Additionally, the project will cost $64 million, or about $14 million less than completing the work in multiple phases. The safety risk to workers and motorists is eliminated by removing live traffic from an active construction site.

A project webpage with maps and fact sheets can be viewed by clicking here or visiting idot.illinois.gov.

The overall project consists of rehabilitating and resurfacing approximately 7 miles of I-255 from Collinsville Road to Illinois 15 in two sections separated by I-64, with significant bridge repairs, safety improvements and drainage upgrades. Once the section north of I-64 is finished this summer, construction will shift to the section

between I-64 and Illinois 15, again requiring a full closure of the work zone in both directions for approximately five months.

The entire project is expected to conclude in late November.

Due to lack of investment, I-255 is notorious for being one of the worst roads in the state. Most of the pavement dates back to when the interstate was built in the 1980s.

Emergency repairs that inconvenience motorists are frequent because of multiple pavement failures and large potholes.

Gov. Pritzker’s historic and bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program is investing $33.2 billion into the state’s aging transportation system, creating jobs and promoting economic growth. Rebuild Illinois is not only the largest capital program in state history, but also the first one that touches all modes of Illinois transportation: roads and bridges, transit, waterways, freight and passenger rail, aviation, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

He worked for the U.S. Army in Europe throughout the mid-1950’s as Field Entertainment Director, staging a variety of productions in support of military personnel stationed in Germany, receiving the Commendation for Meritorious Civilian Service. He eventually returned to Bloomington, where he taught and served as an advisor in the IWU Theatre Department, and later worked as an advertising executive for State Farm Insurance.

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news Sunday, February 2: Pastor Carl opened with prayers and announcements. Bro. Brad led the singing and we were blessed with a pianist. We are thankful for her.

Scripture from II Peter 1:1-15.

We need to be in prayer and in God’s word each day. Our Holy Spirit intercedes to our Father for our own good.

Jesus should be our standard, not those

in our lives. We are called to be Christ like. You have every tool you need, through God’s word. God’s word is there for us all the time. We can have eternal life. If we understood the reality of Hell, we would live differently. If we are in God’s love, we have nothing to fear.

Out of His love, we face eternal damnation and separation from God. Be intentional about your faith. We are cre-

ated in His image. We are called to love one another. Be sure to let God draw you into His plan, so He can use you.

The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. The harvest belongs to the Lord.

Sunday School 9:30 a.m. Sunday worship 10:30 - Sunday evening at 6 p.m.

Message 1 Peter 1: 17-25: Peter was

a fisherman and not an educated man so his writings are easier to understand.

We are called to be Holy, which means to be “Set apart.” We as Christians should look differently than the people around us who do not know the Savior.

A stranger should be able to look at us and by our actions or speech tell that we are different. We have been bought with a price. God knew that the only way we could be redeemed was for Him to

send His Son, who was put to death on the cross for our sins. It’s through Him that we are able to have Hope. There is nothing that we can do to give back to God for all He has done for us. Because of that we are called to be “set apart.’

We need to show brotherly love to each other. God’s love never changes.

We ask you this question, “Do you look different?” Hope to see you in church next Sunday.

Walkerville Baptist Church news he was extremely active in community and professional theatre in Bloomington and throughout central Illinois, directing, producing, and acting in more than a dozen productions staged by the Community Players, and serving as Director of the American Passion Play for five years.

Adopting the stage name of Conrad McLaren, he began a career as a professional actor in the late 1960’s, relocating to New York City and building an extensive resume of theatre, film, television, and commercial work. His career highlights included roles in the Broadway productions of “Guys and Dolls” and the award-winning “Ragtime,” in which he originated the role of Grandfather. His film and television credits included “Green Card,” “Stephen King’s Silver Bullet,” “Reversal of Fortune,” “Addicted to Love,” “Ironclads,” “Summer Heat,” “The Cosby Show,” and “Kate and Allie.”

He had a song, a story, and a ready quip for any occasion and will be remembered forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. A celebration of his life will be scheduled later in the spring.

He took his final bows with this quote by Noel Coward, which guided his life: “I never cared who scored the goal, or which team won the silver cup. I never learned to bat or bowl, but I heard the curtain going up.”

From the desk of Pastor David Slagle, 473-1892.

Winter or spring? Whichever, I like it. Never did care for snow and the cold temps. It was really good to enter God’s house this morning after being gone for almost two weeks recovering from my surgery on the 20th of January. We really enjoy gathering together as the family of God and singing praises to the name of Jesus.

On Feb. the 8th at 6 p.m. Calvary

I

n the sixteenth chapter of Leviticus, God tells the Israelites that they must offer particular sacrifices in order to receive God’s forgiveness. One of those sacrifices is the scapegoat, which bears the sins of the community and is then sent into the wilderness: “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.”

(Leviticus 16:20-22 NIV) The notion that we can put our sins on a sacrificial animal and send it off into

the wilderness is strange but intriguing. Like casting our burdens upon the winds or the waters, the scapegoat feels purifying to us.

Perhaps this is why it feels so good and so cathartic to confess our sins; we can finally let go of them. We do well to remember also that for Christians Jesus is the ultimate scapegoat, the sinless victim who takes all of our sins upon himself and is then cast out into the figurative wilderness via his crucifixion.

Consider how you might cast off your sins, both literally and figuratively, by confessing them.

Authorities notify about election error The Illinois State Board of Elections today notified 59 local election authorities that 774 former inmates of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) may have had their voter registrations erroneously canceled due to a data-matching error involving both agencies.

The Greene County election jurisdiction was among the list of those affected with one cancelation.

Matching based on information forwarded to the State Board of Elections incorrectly categorized the individuals as currently incarcerated, when in fact they had completed their sentences and been dis-

charged. The State Board of Elections has worked directly with the Illinois Department of Corrections to identify the affected individuals, whose records were among more than 126,000 shared between the two agencies between 2014 and 2019.

Under Illinois law, voting rights are suspended during an inmate’s period of incarceration but are restored upon release, though the individual must re-register to vote. This includes those who are released on parole, on mandatory supervised release and on condition of electronic monitoring.

The Board of Elections

has provided each election authority with voter information on the affected individuals so that their registrations can be reviewed for reinstatement by the start of early voting on Feb. 6. It is possible that some of the cancellations are for reasons unrelated to this data error and known only to the local election authority.

The Board of Elections and Department of Corrections are committed to ensuring this does not happen again.

Both agencies are currently revising their data sharing agreement and matching parameters to avoid this error in future data exchanges.

Upon identifying the potential problem in November 2019, the Board ceased sharing IDOC matches with local election authorities and began the process of identifying individuals who may have been affected by the error.

Because Illinois allows for voter registration on Election Day and the casting of provisional ballots for those whose registration status is in question, the affected registrants would have had the opportunity to re-register and/or cast provisional ballots at their polling places if they wished to vote in an election after the error occurred.

Jacob Bellet sits at the computer he used to create a video game called Protector of the Planet. The game was picked up by Google and is now available on the Google Play Store for anyone with an Android device. Bellet taught himself code to be able to produce the game. He is a seventh grader at Jersey Community Middle School.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Jacob Bellet might only be 12 years old, but he has already done more than most people achieve in a lifetime – he created a video game that was picked up by the Google Play Store and is now available to anyone who has an Android phone.

Jacob, the son of Steven and Misty Bellet of Jerseyville, said he created the game “Protector of the Planet” in about five months but had to overcome one major obstacle – he didn’t know how to code.

“He announced one day that he was going to create a video game and we are like ‘okay, honey, that’s great,’ and then one day he said ‘I’m done,’” Misty Bellet said.

“Neither my husband nor I know anything about coding, but Jacob got on there and learned it on his own.”

Jacob, a seventh grade student at Jersey Community Middle School, said he loves computers.

“I’ve always liked computers, and when I grow up I want to create indie video games,” he said. “I have a computer class at school, but it didn’t teach us coding. For that I had to watch YouTube videos, and then I used a program called Unity to create the game.”

The game is pretty simple to understand. The planet earth is being bombarded by asteroids, and the player has to blast those asteroids to smithereens before they hit earth. There are three difficulty levels, easy, medium and hard, and power-ups can be earned for rapid fire, to slow down the asteroids and even a shield to shield the earth from the asteroids.

“I even learned how to put music to it,” Jacob said.

“Some of the art I used was from free stuff that was available on Google, and then I edited it a little and coded it all.”

But Jacob wasn’t satisfied with just creating the game – he wanted to make it available to everyone, so he set out to get it on the Google Play Store for everyone to download. But before that could

be done, he had to write a privacy policy.

“When he said he wanted to get it on the Google Play Store, we just shook our heads again,” Misty Bellet said.

“Neither of us helped him any, and he spent two days going through the process of writing all this stuff, and I’m thinking it’s not really going to come to fruition. But then the next thing you know it is on Google. Jacob has done this entirely on his own.”

So far, Jacob has not collected any money off of the game, but he hopes that will change in the future.

“I don’t make any money off of it because I don’t have any ads, but I’m going to put ads in in the new update that I’m going to put out in a couple of weeks,” he said.

“But right now it is on Google for free for those who have an Android device. It’s not available for Apple users because it costs a lot of money to put it on there.”

Jacob’s friends are impressed that he actually created a video game.

“My friends all think it is pretty cool and fun to play, but a lot of them have iPhones and can’t download it,” he said. “But I let them play it on my phone, and they all seem to like it.”

It is a bit of a throwback for Misty who grew up in the era when Atari ruled the video gaming market.

“It is a lot of fun and reminds me of the old school Atari game of Asteroids when video games first came out,” she said. “Of course Jacob knows nothing about those games so it is kind of ironic that his game is a lot like it.”

Misty Bellet grew up in the Hillview/White Hall area and graduated from North Greene High School so there are a lot of people in Greene County who are also proud of her son.

“I have a lot of family and friends in the Greene County area and they all think its great what Jacob has been able to achieve,” she said.

“It’s one thing to create a video game but to have to teach yourself code first is even more amazing. We are so very proud of him.”
