Schmidt defeats Goetten in judges’ race By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Farm Bureau Lobbyist Zachary Schmidt secured the County Circuit Judge seat over former Greene County State’s Attorney and current Appellate Prosecutor Matt Goetten by just under 900 votes to become the next Greene County Circuit Judge. Schmidt, a Republican, received 3,517 votes to Goetten’s 2,644 votes. The county, as a whole, went red all the way. Donald Trump easily defeated Joe Biden with 76.47 percent of the vote to Biden’s 21.64 percent, while in the U.S. Senate race Mark Curran garnered 68.85 percent of the vote to Dick Durbin’s 28.13 percent. In the 13th Congressional District race, Republican Rodney Davis once again nabbed the county over Democrat Betsy Londrigan with 78.67 percent of the vote to Londrigan’s 21.33 percent, while the race for Representative in the 100th District saw Republican C.D. Davidsmeyer roll over his Democratic opponent, Brandon Adams, with 78.33 percent of the vote to Adams’ 17.43 percent. The County Board had four open seats with three

Republicans running and one Democrat running for those seats. The three Republicans garnered the most votes. Christy Ford came out on top with 4,247 or 29.89 percent, followed by Mark Strang with 3,997 or 28.13 percent and Earlene Castleberry with 3,417 or 24.04 percent. The lone Democrat, Joyce Clark, received 2,550 or 17.94 percent. Republican incumbent Shirley Thornton ran unopposed for Circuit Clerk, as did Republican State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe and Democrat Coroner Danny Powell. The Fair Tax Constitutional Amendment was overwhelmingly defeated in the county with 80.53 percent of the voters voting against it and 19.47 percent voting for it. All of these results are based on unofficial numbers. Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Region 3, of which includes Greene County, has entered into additional state-mandated mitigation measures as of Sunday because of continually rising COVID-19 numbers throughout the state. According to the Illinois Department of Health (IDPH) protocol, the mitigation measures take effect when a region sustains an 8 percent or higher positivity rate for three consecutive days, which the region did on Oct. 24-26. Since that time, the rate has continued to rise. The website’s figures are roughly four days behind, so the latest figures are for Oct. 30, which show the seven-day rolling average positivity rate at 10.6 percent. Greene County’s numbers are high at a whopping 18.1 percent positivity rate on Oct. 30 after peaking at a high of 19 percent on Oct. 28. According to the Greene County Health Department, there were a total of 23 new cases between Sunday and Monday of this week. On Saturday, Oct. 31, 10 new cases, all community acquired, were reported. The day before, there were also 10 other new cases, all community acquired. On Oct. 29, a whopping 27 cases were reported; 13 community acquired and 14 in long-term care; on Oct. 28, 10 new cases, all community acquired; on Oct. 27, 12 new cases, all community acquired; on Oct. 26, nine new cases, five community acquired and four long-term care. This brings the Greene County total to 101 new cases in a single week. Greene County Health Department Public Health Administrator Molly Peters is calling on the public to be (See, COVID, A2)

Now former Carrollton Police Chief says it was time to move on By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press For former Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross, retiring from the force and turning the office of police chief over to the capable hands of Officer Mike McCartney was the next natural step. Gross retired Oct. 31, but his official 10-42, end of duty call, was on Oct. 9, so he likes to view his departure as nothing more than time moving on. Upon his last day in office, Carrollton City Hall was closed during lunch hour for a retirement party. “I am a very blessed man to have so many wish me well on my retirement,� Gross said. “I have had the pleasure of working at a job I have loved for the past 38 years, and that makes walking away from that job all that much harder.� Actually, Gross’ start into the law enforcement field was an accidental one. “On a whim, I enlisted in the Illinois National Guard in 1981, and they decided to make me a military police officer,� he said. “I don’t think anyone expected me to do that at all.� Gross is a 1979 graduate of Carrollton High School and attended Lewis and Clark Community College while working construction with his dad. He said it was his indecision about choosing a career that led him to enlist in the National Guard, but once he was told he was going to be a military police officer, he knew he had made the right choice. “I had taken some criminal justice courses in college and had liked them,� Gross said. “So, I thought I just might like being an MP, and I was right. It turned out it was a good decision all the way around, and it led to a lifelong career that I couldn’t be more proud of.� Gross served in the Illinois National Guard for almost 10 years which included three overseas deployments.

Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross takes his 10-42 call in the squad car in front of the Carrollton City Hall on Oct. 9. Chief Gross used his accumulated time until his Oct. 31 official retirement date, at which time he officially turned the reigns of Carrollton Police Chief over to Officer Mike McCartney.

“I have had the pleasure of working at a job I have loved for the past 38 years, and that makes walking away from that job all that much harder.�

Terry Gross Carrollton Police Chief He worked as a correctional officer for five years with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department under former sheriff Francis Neubauer and part time during three of those years for the Carrollton Police Department. This led to him being hired as a full-time Carrollton police officer in

1989 – the same year Mike Kiger became the Carrollton Police Chief. Gross served as Chief Kiger’s deputy chief for eight years before Kiger’s retirement and being named chief in 2010. Gross officially took office on Aug. 12 of that year; however, he had been

handling the duties of the chief since June, much like McCartney has been handling the duties since Oct. 9. Gross is leaving the department much better equipped than when he joined. In the last two years, the department has purchased three brand new SUV patrol vehicles. Gross said if he had to list his proudest moment of being chief of police, it was when he became certified to teach Carrollton’s DARE (Drug Awareness and Resistance Education) Program, which Kiger started. “Mike was in the very first DARE instructor course taught in the state,� Gross said. “At one point, he taught in schools in Greene, Scott, Jersey and Calhoun counties. This was the legacy I was to follow. And proud to do so.� The DARE Program is a program that has been taught in the classroom to sixth-graders at both Carrollton and St. John’s schools for the past 35 consecutive years. It is the longest running program in the state. It teaches students the dangers of drugs and ways to say “no� to peer pressure when their friends urge them to “just try it.� Gross also served as a school resource officer for 20 years in the Carrollton School District. Under Chief Kiger, he became the first evidence tech and crime scene photographer for the Carrollton Police Department, as well as its lead death investigator. As with most law enforcement officers, they never walk away from the field completely. Gross can be seen several days a week handling security at the Greene County Courthouse for the Sheriff’s Department. Gross is married to his wife, Maliea, who is a registered nurse, and together they have two grown children and several grandchildren. After retirement, Gross said he and his wife plan to do some traveling, after completing the long “honey-do� list she has prepared for him.

Americans have forgotten original purpose of Veterans Day

Roodhouse residents invoke Halloween spirit

By BILL HOAGLAND Frank Blue, a friend from my law school days, describes himself as an amateur historian of the first world war. He is actually much more than an amateur historian about the subject; he could probably teach a collegelevel course about it if he wanted to. His studies have included not only extensive book research but also personal visits to the various battle sites, memorials and cemeteries relating to this conflict. He has graciously shared with me and others the end product of this pursuit, and I must say, from a historical perspective, there is a lot about that war that will always be pertinent, whether we care to consider those historical lessons or not. Unfortunately, Americans today know very little about the so-called first world war, also known as The Great War, World War I and, ironically, “The War to End All Wars.� From a statistical standpoint, the numbers of deaths and casualties in the first world war are almost beyond comprehension. During the four-and-a-half years of war, the total combat deaths were in excess of 7 million, and the total civilian deaths were in excess of 10 million. And if you are beyond being numbed by an astronomical number of human deaths, here is a statistic that

may strike a chord: more than 8 million horses were also killed in that war. It was truly a horrible, trench-war conflict made worse by the fact that this war could have easily been avoided. Americans generally know nothing about the First World War other than the fact that it occurred from 1914 to 1918 and involved primarily Europeans. So why grieve about it, right? What most Americans don’t appreciate is that in the 137 days in which we were actually involved in combat, more than 117,000 American soldiers were killed — twice the number of American deaths in the entire Vietnam War. On average, we were losing 850 soldiers per day, more than twice the average number of Americans being killed per day in World War II. After the first world war was over, Congress established the American Battlefields Monument Commission, whose mission it was to create and maintain memorials and cemeteries for our fallen soldiers including those buried in Europe. My friend Frank made it a point over the years to visit not only these memorials and cemeteries but also the battlefields where our boys fell. And here is the most unsettling part of Frank’s mission, except for a retired military officer formerly in charge of the Somme American Cemetery in France, he never encountered another

American during his numerous visits to the World War I memorials, cemeteries and battlefields — not one. The war officially ended at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918. One year later, Congress declared Nov. 11 as a day to remember our fallen soldiers of World War I; this holiday was designated as Armistice Day. Since then, the name has been changed to “Veterans Day,� and we are now to honor all military veterans who have served on behalf of the United States. So if it is your inclination to remember veterans on Veterans Day, how about a brief thought or prayer for those brave American souls in the trenches who in 1918 were told to “fix bayonets and go over the top� only to be mowed down in their tracks by a stream of machine-gun fire in the “War to End All Wars.� ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life. Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County. Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

We are working hard behind the scenes to make our Facebook page more interactive, and we are finding new ways to help our communities. We will be making a series of announcements in the coming days.� In the meantime, there are things residents all can do to help bring down the numbers in the county, according

to local health officials. For starters, county residents can lead by example. “It is hard to stay focused on mask wearing and disinfecting, social distancing and refraining from gathering in large groups, but if we all work together to fight this virus by doing these things it can help so much,� Peters said. Don’t be afraid to reach out to others in need. “If you see someone struggling, whether it be an individual or a business, let’s rally around them and get them the help they need,� Peters said. “There are so many resources available to help, and a small bit of kindness could go a long way for anyone who is facing hardship.� Find new and exciting

ways to interact with friends and family, which could include digging out those old board games that have been gathering dust in the closet or pick up a new hobby to help pass the time that you would have otherwise spent socializing. “There are online jobs, resources and opportunities for anyone who is facing financial difficulty,� Peters said. “Don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for help until you can get back on your feet. Find a blessings group on Facebook and tell your story. Explain your story and explain you are struggling. Tell them what you need help with. This is a season of giving and so many churches, agencies and people are ready to help you.�

Carrollton man remembers New mitigation measures time with Coast Guard announced for Region 3 ahead of Veterans Day

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Raymond Bland, 88, of Carrollton was only 19 years old when his number came up in the draft, and he was whisked away to serve his country in the Korean Conflict. Like many other young men back in the day, he didn’t really have a choice – or did he? “I knew I was going to be drafted into the Army, and I had already had my physical, so I went down to St. Louis to the old post office there, and I joined the Coast Guard,” Bland said. “The one thing I knew I didn’t want to be was a foot soldier, so I joined up with the Coast Guard instead.” Bland grew up in Eldred where he helped his father farm. He graduated from Carrollton High School in 1950 where he lettered in all three sports offered at the time – football, basketball and track. After joining the Coast Guard on Jan. 19, 1952, Bland was sent to Alameda, Calif. for training. After training, he would receive the rank of Seaman First Class and be stationed at sea off Cape Hatteras Lighthouse at Diamond Shoals, N.C. on a light ship named Diamond. He wouldn’t actually see any kind of combat other than the fierce combat provided by mother nature. “It was our duty to keep track of the weather and to make sure the ships didn’t get grounded on the treacherous shoreline,” Bland said. “They called Cape Hatteras the ‘Graveyard of the Atlantic” because more ships had been sunk there than any place in the Atlantic.” The men on the ship were required to stand guard and report the sea and air conditions every six hours to Norfolk, Va. “If a strange ship happened to appear in the area, we would ask them to identify themselves either by radio or flag signals,” Bland said. “So, I also had to know my flag signals, something I never really found a use for after I got out of the Coast Guard.” The ship was located 14.5 miles off shore, and it would take a day to get out to the ship by boat. The men would spend 28 days on the ship, then take a pilot boat back to the mainland where they would receive 14 days liberty on shore. For Bland, he chose to spend his 14-day leave coming back to Eldred to help his father on the farm, often hitchhiking the 1,100 miles from Diamond Shoals to Eldred. “Back then, it was a different time than it is today,” he said. “People didn’t think twice about picking up a hitchhiker, especially a service man who they thought was probably trying to get either back home or back to their unit. I never had a problem getting a ride home or back to my ship. In fact, one time, it took me just three rides to get delivered right to my door in Eldred.” While it might have sounded like a pretty cushy job to have during war time, things weren’t as rosy as they might seem. “We were 14 miles at sea, and that was a

particularly rough part of the Atlantic that was prone to some pretty wicked storms,” Bland said. “There was many a time that I would be laying in bed at night in my bunk, and I had to hold on to rails on the side of my bed to even stay in my bunk. Our shoes would be flying across the room because the ship would be tossing from side to side. “Times like that I don’t miss at all, and it was those times that I wished I had become a foot soldier.” Bland was discharged from the Coast Guard on July 19, 1954. Because his ship was stationed so far off shore, Bland was credited with serving two years outside of the continental United States. He has been a proud member of the American Legion for 50 years. When he returned back to the Carrollton area, he married Janie Graham, and together they had two children – Gayle Stumpf and Vicki Schnelten. They, in turn, gave the Blands seven grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren to dote on. Before COVID-19, they could be seen just about every evening of the week attending a game of one of their great grandchildren. “I am proud to have served as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard,” he said. “And now, I’m just as proud of all of my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who all live around here.”

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Beginning Sunday, not only did the time fall back an hour, but the region also fell back into stricter mitigation measures that included, among other things, a halt to inside dining at bars and restaurants.

Meetings, social events and gatherings Q Limit to the lesser of 25 guests or 25 percent of overall room capacity both indoors and outdoors. Q No party buses. Q Gaming and casinos close at 11 p.m., are limited to 25 percent capacity and follow mitigations for bars and restaurants, if applicable. Many bars and restaurants in the area have publicly stated that they are not going to follow these mitigation rules, especially when it comes to no inside dining. Some, however, are going to follow the rules, and it is recommended that patrons call the restaurant before to find out the status of the restaurant – whether they are closed to inside dining or still allowing it. Bars and restaurants who defy the governor’s mitigation orders do not risk sanctions from local law enforcement. According to law enforcement officials, the issue is not one of law enforcement but comes under the health department. Only the health department can force a business to close who defies the Governor’s mitigation measures.

Nov. 11 at 7 p.m., and the fifth Sunday hymn sing is Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. Message: James 1: 1-18 “A grateful attitude.� We have come to think about 2020 as a horrible year, but James tells us to take joy in our trials. James is writing to the Jews as

a form of encouragement because of all the trials they were going through. Trials are different for everyone. Most of us don’t like it when we have problems. But, it tests our faith. We sometimes tell others “to have faith� when they are going through hard times but when it happens to you, it’s harder to have that faith. Trials bring us

closer to Christ. We pray more and ask God’s help. To truly have wisdom is to spend time in the Word of God. We need to read our Bibles every day and pray that God will help us understand what He is saying to us. A question that we hear a lot is “Why do people suffer?� The reason is because of sin. In the garden of Eden there was no pain —

no suffering until Adam and Eve disobeyed God and that’s when sin came into the world. Jesus paid the price for all our sins on the cross. If we will humble ourselves and ask forgiveness, He will forgive us. Have you surrendered your life to Christ? If not, why not do it today? You are always welcome at Hillview Baptist. Hope to see you soon.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle — 473-1892 Did you remember to turn your clocks back before you went to bed last night? It seems our Walkerville church family remembered as we enjoyed a good turnout this morning. I really enjoy the fall colors that paint the hillsides and timberlines. This past Monday afternoon not far from our church, I spotted two beautiful bald eagles sitting in a field not far from the road. Truly, they are beauti-

ful birds. This coming Sunday morning will be the last morning to bring non-perishable food items for the North Greene food pantry as the items will be delivered to the Food Pantry next week. We continue to plan for our church-wide Thanksgiving right after our morning service on Nov. 15. Come and join us. Our Christmas concert will be Sunday morning Dec. 13. Serenity Sound and Servants Hearts from the Alton area will be blessing

us with the sounds of the holidays. All are invited to come and enjoy the music and a luncheon will follow.

Our message this morn-

ing was the answer to the question: “Where in the Bible does it prove that Jesus was 100 percent man and 100 percent God?� Here are just a few of the verses I chose to use — Isaiah 9:6-7-Micah 5:23, John 1:1-3 and verse 14-Phillippians 2:5-11, Mark 14:60-62, Matthew 26:63-65, Luke 22:67-70.

We are no longer who we were if we are saved. You were purchased by the blood of Jesus. We are living in the time that we call good evil and we call evil good. We are lov-

ers of ourselves instead of God. Other scripture: Genesis 3:15, Genesis 12:1-3, II Peter 3:9. No verse can be taken out of the Bible and made a doctrine. You must understand from the beginning to the end. Jesus is undeniable. He who says He is — He is! We cannot imagine what Heaven is like. No words to describe. He gives us a glimpse of what Heaven is like through His word. We need to be grounded in His word. Thank you that our God is patient and sovereign. But, His patience will end one day. Our rain-

bow is a sign that God will never destroy the world again with water. But, the day is coming that it will be destroyed by fire. The rainbow for any other use is a slap in God’s face.

Only Love Can Conquer Hate “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.� Matthew 7:12 NIV

T

hat love is the antidote to hatred is a message that bears repeating. Every major religion has made this point in one way or another, and yet it is a lesson that some never learn. Buddha put it this way: “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is the eternal rule.� Jesus said something similar five centuries later: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.� (Matthew 5:44-45 NIV) Likewise in the Koran we hear these words: “Good and evil cannot be equal. Respond to evil with what is best, then the one you are in a feud with will be like a close friend.� (41:34) This is a hard lesson for us to learn,

as we often think that the person who harmed us deserves to be harmed. But the path of revenge just leads to ever-growing cycles of violence and hatred. The only way to stop the cycle of hatred and turn the tide is with love. Now more than ever, what the world needs is more love and less hate. Do your part to sow the seeds of love wherever you can, and especially when you are contending with hatred or animosity. –Christopher Simon

Overturned tanker stops traffic on 67 By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press An overturned tanker truck carrying ethanol blocked the road and stopped traffic for more than 15 hours last Friday, Oct. 30 at Heinold Curve, just outside of Carrollton.

According to the Illinois State Police, a white Kenworth tractor-trailer truck hauling ethanol driven by Vernon Thomas, 59, was traveling southbound just south of NE 400 St., past the Heinold Curve. At approximately 1 a.m., the truck went off the roadway

to the left, crossed the centerline, entered a ditch on the east side of the roadway and struck a telephone pole. This caused the rig to overturn onto the driver’s side and the ethanol to begin leaking. Thomas was transported to a local hospital with injuries and was later

cited for improper lane usage and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency was called in to monitor the cleanup of the spill, and the roadway remained closed until after 4 p.m. that afternoon.

Single vehicle crash on US 67 kills one By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press An early crash on Halloween morning took the life of a Jacksonville man. The accident happened just before the Berdan turnoff, less than a mile away from the site of an accident which closed

the road for more than 13 hours the day before on the Heinold Curve. According to a report issued by the Illinois State Police (ISP), Brian Wallace, 36, of Jacksonville was traveling at approximately 3:13 a.m. south on Rt. 67 just south of the Berdan Road when his 2006 Chrysler

Sebring left the road to the left, entering the ditch and striking a culvert-driveway entrance and mailbox. This caused Wallace’s vehicle to become airborne and overturn, coming to rest upside down in the southbound lane of the highway. Wallace succumbed to his injuries and was pro-

nounced deceased on the scene by the Greene County Coroner. The roadway was closed for approximately four hours while ISP investigated the cause of the crash. At this time, the crash is still under investigation and no further information is available.

Briant Armold, along with her pink horse, can’t resist dipping into her candy bag to see what she has gotten so far while making her way to the next trunk.

Logan Rynders decided that since he had to wear a mask anyway that he would be a cowboy outlaw for Halloween. More than 300 children participated in Greenfield’s first trunk-or-treat. It was a beautiful evening for the event, and many local citizens opened their hearts and their trunks to hand out candy to the children.
