Major race in Greene is for Circuit Court Judge

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairiie Press As the voters of Greene County go to the poles next Tuesday, March 17 for the Primary, perhaps the one major category they will be voting for will be the Judge of the 7th Judicial Circuit.

After 30 years on the bench, Republican Judge James Day has

decided to hang up his robes.

Aiming for the Judge’s seat are two Democratic candidates and two Republican candidates.

On the Democrat side, State Appellate Prosecutor Matt Goetten, who lives near Carrollton, and Carrollton Attorney Elliott Turpin, who lives in Greenfield, have filed for the seat.

On the Republican side, Carrollton

resident Zachary Schmidt filed for the seat, and at the last hour, John Wayne Guntren also filed. Guntren is currently a practicing attorney in Jerseyville, but lives near Eldred.

For county board, four have filed for four open seats. On the Republican side, Earline Castleberry, Christie Ford and Mark Strang, who is an incumbent, have filed. Republicans Randy Custer and Michael McNear

did not file for another term.

Incumbent Joyce Clark filed on the Democratic ticket for another term on the board.

Republican Circuit Clerk Shirley Thornton and Republican States Attorney Caleb Briscoe, along with the Democratic Coroner Danny Powell are assured of retaining their seats in November, as they have no opposition in the primary.

83 36 High

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Despite having to be cancelled last month due to inclement weather, the North Greene Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) program saw hundreds of elementary and junior high students show up to take part in the many different experiments set up to get them interested in STEAM. The program, which started out at the high school, moved down to the grade school last year. “This program has not only teachers from our building (elementary) but teachers from the junior high as well,�

North Greene Elementary Principal Jacky Kuchy said. “We even have kids from the Bright Futures Pre-K program here tonight.�

The program is made possible through funding from Title 1 and the real reason behind the program is twofold. “The real purpose of this program is for families to come together and engage in learning activities with their students,� Kuchy said. “And if it gets students interested in science or math, or arts or engineering or even technology – that is a plus.�

There was a variety of activities set up in the cafeteria, multi-purpose room and the little gym.

The kindergartners made magic milk, while the pre-k made snow dough. Bright futures used velcro buildings sticks to create objects. The

third grade made Oobleck, which is a kind of putty featured in a Dr. Seuss book and snowflake slime.

In the gym, first graders made straw rockets and did a measurement exercise, while the second grade did collaborative art.

The fifth grade did a magnetic construction project and the the sixth grade made mini greenhouses and magic erupting snow. The jr. high made magnetic slime and ice cream. The girl scouts did an art activity and the White Hall Library did a building exercise.

The NG High School art program also did a bubble paint exercise where students blow into a cup with bubbles and then put a piece of paper over the top thereby creating bubble art.

In the little gym, students could play with Optibots, which are tiny little robots that can be programmed to follow certain lines. “These were purchased through through a Healthy Communities Grant,� Kuchy said. “The fourth grade is using some of those materials this evening to help students draw and understand why the Optibots go in a certain path.�

Also scheduled for the little gym was the U of I Extension with a program on Hovercrafts. But unfortunately, they were not able to make it on the rescheduled date.

Kuchy said she made maps and students got them signed for each station they visited and then could use them to (See, STEAM, A2)

Roodhouse PD wins Greene Toyota $500 giveaway

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

G

reene County people sure know how to support their police department youth fund. The January winner of the Green Toyota Charity Giving Contest is the Roodhouse Police Department Youth Fund, which recently received a $500 check to help support the many things they do for the youth in the area.

The premise is pretty simple. Any non profit 501c3 charity can be nominated. Voters then go onto a website and vote for their favorite charity.

There are between 10 to 12 charities added each month, and the voting takes place over the last two weeks of the month.

Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison was shocked that they won. “Liz Mathews nominated us, and people got online to vote for us daily,� he said. “I thought it was very special to have the community support.

We certainly appreciated everyone involved who helped put us over the top.�

Something special came out of the win as well. “News Channel 20 and Green Toyota requested an on-air interview,�

Robison said. “I’ve never been inside a real studio before so I was a little bit (See, ROODHOUSE, A2)

Floods expected, but not as bad as last year

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Greene Prairie Press Gene Breden, emergency services coordinator for Calhoun County and floodplain coordinator for the Village of Hardin, recently received a briefing from the National Weather Service (NWS) concerning the upcoming flood season. “The briefing on flood possibilities was very vague and the NWS did not draw any definite conclusions,� Breden said. “All they’re saying is that there’s a good possibility there’s going to be a flood, but a small chance that it’s going to be as bad as last year’s.�

Though a flood as rare as last year’s

is not anticipated, Breden reminds locals that there is no sure way of determining expected flood levels. “We’ll just have to play it week by week and see what happens,� he said.

Rain levels for the month of March are expected to be a little above average, but precipitation in our area as well as north of the region must be taken into consideration. “It looks like it will be the third week in March where we’ll possibly see some flooding,� Breden noted. “A lot of the flooding will be caused by the snow melt up north, (See, FLOODS, A2)

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Should we bring back the death penalty in Illinois Roodhouse

By BILL HOAGLAND Randy Gori, a prominent lawyer in Madison County, was brutally murdered two months ago at his home in Edwardsville. I knew him, but not very well. Those who knew him better than I universally praised his generosity and commitment to the community.

The details of the murder were particularly gruesome and fortunately have not been released to the general public. The suspect was promptly arrested after the murder and is in jail awaiting trial. There is plenty of evidence to suggest this murder was premeditated.

Tom Gibbons, the States Attorney of Madison County, laments the fact that there is no death penalty in Illinois anymore. Initially, he considered getting the US Attorney to prosecute the case under federal law, because the death penalty still exists under federal law, but he now appears resigned to proceed in state court.

So how is it that we no longer have a death penalty in Illinois? The history on this issue is one that, frankly, is convoluted. Illinois had a death penalty until 1972, when in the case of Furman vs. Georgia, the US Supreme Court held that the imposition of the death penalty violated the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment; the Court went on to hold that all death penalty statutes were therefore unconstitutional if they did not have specific legislative safeguards. In response to that decision, the Illinois legislature enacted new legislation to conform to the requirements of the Furman decision, thereby reinstating the death penalty as of July 1, 1974.

That legislation remained

in effect until January 31, 2000, when Governor George Ryan took it upon himself to impose a ten year moratorium on death penalties in Illinois. At the same time, he appointed a commission to study the issue of whether innocent persons were being executed and what could be done to prevent that from happening going forward. Without question, there had been recent situations in which individual defendants in Illinois had been coerced by police into giving confessions when in fact they were innocent. When Governor Ryan created the commission, he indicated that he would reinstate the death penalty if adequate reforms, as recommended by the commission, could be imposed.

That reinstatement never occurred. In fact, on January 11, 2003, before leaving office, Governor Ryan commuted the sentences of all 167 defendants still on death row in Illinois prisons. Governor Ryan’s moratorium remained in effect after Ryan left office and lasted until March 9, 2011, when Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation officially terminating the death penalty once and for all in Illinois.

During his term in office, Governor Bruce Rauner made an attempt to reinstate the death penalty. This attempt was motivated by recent increases in mass shootings, serial killings, excessive gun violence and, at the same time, improvements in criminal investigations—including the use of DNA to more accurately resolve these cases. His proposed legislation would have reinstated the death penalty in those limited situations in which more than one person had been murdered by the same person,

or the situation in which the victim was a police officer, firefighter or a child. His efforts to get this legislation passed were unsuccessful.

At this point, it seems highly unlikely that the death penalty will ever be reinstated in Illinois, even though one Illinois legislator, Representative David McSweeney, has introduced legislation that would reinstate the death penalty; there is minimal support for this bill and it is unlikely to even get out of committee.

As it stands, 19 states now ban the death penalty and Colorado is about to ban it as well. Even at the federal level, there is pending legislation— cosponsored, incidentally, by Senator Dick Durbin-- to end the federal death penalty altogether.

According to recent polls, more than 60% of those polled nationwide favor termination of the death penalty. I guess I fall into the minority on this issue. I can’t help but believe that the death penalty is still an effective deterrent. The mere existence of a possible death sentence has induced some criminals to plead guilty to a lesser offense when the prosecution had evidentiary problems and would not have obtained a conviction without a plea agreement. (A case in point was the conviction of Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber”, who over a period of years, killed three people, maimed many more and even tried

unsuccessfully to bomb a commercial airline loaded with passengers.

If the possibility of a death sentence had not been there, he would not have pled guilty and the prosecution could not have convicted him because the critical evidence against him was obtained without a search warrant; without the threat of a death sentence to induce him to accept life imprisonment, he could be on the street today perhaps planting more bombs— who knows?)

As to the argument that an innocent defendant might be executed if the death penalty were retained, that possibility seems to be much, much less likely to happen with the investigative technology we have today. In addition, investigations are now closely supervised to avoid coerced confessions. But more than anything else, the fact that one person could massacre hundreds of people with no possibility of the death penalty for his actions just makes no sense to me.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Some truths can only be found with company

I just spent another weekend with about ten guys in Texas.

I’ve made this trip for the past few years and we’ve decided to make it an annual Outdoor Truths event.

This year we exclusively hunted hogs, while previous times, turkey season was open as well. It was there I shot my first Rio, but every year is memorable for one reason or another.

The guys who attend are diverse when it comes to hunting. Some are proficient and are skilled veterans. Others are either just beginning or only do it a few times a year.

The great thing about this trip is hunting is only a small part of the weekend.

It claims no more importance than cooking, resting, hanging out, talking trash, learning and sharing perspec-

tives on everything in our lives – including faith. These men just need to be with other men in a small, safe, non-judgmental environment, where we can push and push back. We need a place where iron sharpens iron. I’ve never really been a fan of that statement (verse), until I saw it in action last week.

I came away sharper because of those men who gave me new perspective and challenged my own. Many of them attend mega churches, but what they said they longed for are weekends like these where they can have fun and be more engaged by God’s truths; that can only happen in circles and not in rows.

This is exactly the method Jesus used to change the world. He took a small group of men and turned them into

spokesmen for the kingdom of God. They had hurts, habits, and hang-ups, but instead of disqualifying them, these exterior characteristics only magnified the power that was now inside them. And when their purpose became bigger than their problem, they refused to focus on themselves, but only on those who needed to hear the message of grace.

I say all of this to encourage you to find a small faithgroup to engage with.

In that group you will meet men (or women, if you’re a lady in a small group) who are flawed just like you.

You will find those who are going through pain and suffering. You will find men with struggles and doubts. You will find like-minded men and those who will oppose you.

You will find iron.

And if you will apply the iron of your personality and perspective to the iron of your brother’s personality and perspective, you will both leave less focused on your faults and more focused on the fact that you are better prepared for the battle God has called you to fight.

of gifts are given away throughout the morning and everyone is fed donuts for breakfast and hotdogs for lunch. Police officers from throughout Greene County help out with the event making sure everyone is kept hydrated.

They also support Christmas events around the square bringing in Santa Claus the first weekend after Thanksgiving with a sack full of candy as well as a weiner roast.

Other organizations chip in as well, providing pop corn and hot chocolate on what is usually a chilly evening.

Last year a trap shoot was added and this year, movie nights as well.

“Overall, people that support our youth efforts are making a difference,” Robison said. “Our department, like many other departments, are just trying go do good. We have moral obligations to make it a safe place for people to walk down the street and have peace of mind.”

Chief Robison said he would also like to thank Killion Communications.

“Each year they are a huge part of our success,” he said. “Without them, it would be very hard for us to continue. I would like to thank Liz (Killion) and her staff for always supporting us.”

The $500 donation will be used to purchase a popcorn cart.

“Last year we were able to purchase a huge screen and projector that is going to allow us to have movie nights in the park for everyone,” Robison said. “Now we are going to be able to have popcorn as well because, after all, what is a movie without popcorn?”

Other events supported by the Roodhouse PD Youth Fund include the ever-popular Trunk or Treat at Halloween which brings hundreds of kids to the square to get candy, which is purchased by the youth group, out the trunks of decorated antique cars from White Hall Drag-oWay members.

Weather didn’t cooperate last year and the event was moved to Garner’s, but Drag-o-Way members managed to decorate their booths anyway, and the parade of children walking through was endless.

Another popular event is the annual Fishing Derby.

This brings hundreds of children from throughout the area to try to catch the biggest fish at the Roodhouse Rez. Dozens

“The ability for the dam to hold is determined by the amount of water pressure pushing against it. The higher the water gets, the harder it’s going to be to hold it back.”

We need to be humble and are not better than anyone else. We are to love everyone. People need to see by our actions that we are Christians. We need to keep our tongue from evil. We need

to be truthful and honest and speak about the good news of Christ. We need to do what we know God has called us to do. God is a God of love, but He is a just God. You are not promised a perfect life without suffering, but when you suffer God will be with you. Live your life to show the power of God. Christ suffered for us and we need to live for Him.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

Proverbs 4:23 NIV

W

e live in a wishing-cap world where many desires can be almost instantly fulfilled. Think of how easy it is to have food delivered right to your door, and how most material things can be delivered within hours, or at most a few days, assuming you have the means to pay for them.

Almost any sound, image or piece of information can be summoned almost instantaneously via the internet. And not just ephemeral sounds or images, but whatever you desire. If you want a boy- or girlfriend, there are apps which can help you with that. Looking for a spouse, or a house? There are apps and websites to help you there too. But what does this really do for us? The internet and all that goes with it doesn’t just gratify our desires, it also expands them. We are arguably living in a time when most of us are demonstrably more anxious, frustrated, and uncertain about what we actually want out of life. With so many choices before us, we become paralyzed and unable to decide what we really want.

What is a person to do? We should start by looking at our values. If we value love and integrity, as we should, perhaps we should be careful about what we let enter our lives. Dating apps are fine, and arguably make it easier to find someone who shares our values, but they might also make it too easy to instantly gratify urges or desires which don’t align with our deeper or more fundamental values. Consider your values before gratifying your unruly and ever-expanding desires.

With it being Dr. Seuss week at the Carrollton Pre-K program, parent Liason Dianna Varble reads a story from Dr. Seuss focusing on the correct way to brush the teeth.

Once a month, the Carrollton Pre-K holds a family event for families in their program. They try to have them at least once a month and last week the program the event focused on brushing teeth and flossing. Big blocks were used to simulate teeth and play dough used to simulate the stuff that gets hidden in the teeth. A piece of yarn was used to floss out the material. Oliver Steinacher tries to show Austin Tepen what to do.
