Voter turnout low in Greene County By CARmeN eNSiNGeR Greene Prairie Press

The lack of any major contested races in Greene County resulted in a dismal turnout at the polls. With 8,642 registered voters in the county, only 1,530 or 17.7 percent of those voters cast their vote in this primary. The only semi-local contested race was that for Democratic candidate for Regional Office of Education for Greene, Jersey, Calhoun and Macoupin counties. Incumbent Larry Pfeiffer defeated his opponent David Schwartz with 64 percent of the vote tallying 298 votes to Schwartz’s 167. There really wasn’t any race for county board as only three Republicans were on the ticket along with two Democrats, and voters could vote for three in either party. On the Republican side, longtime board chairman Joe Nord garnered the top vote with 621 votes to incumbent Alan Graham’s 615 votes. Newcomer Mark Boston brought up the rear with 563 votes. The race in November on the Democratic side could become quite interesting. While there were only two candidates on the ticket – current Bluffdale Trustee Joyce Clark and incumbent Mike Kiger – there will be a third candidate on the ballot in November after John Goode received enough write-in votes to

When Greene Gables Inn closed two years ago a lot of people were saddened, but none more so than LuAnn and David Mansfield. In fact, they were so saddened to see the historic home sitting empty that they bought it and for the past few months have worked feverishly to open by the March 22 deadline they have set for themselves. The Mansfields, of White Hall, purchased the home from Jan and Terry Price. While it is not known who originally built the home, it was once owned by Shelly and Hazel Greene, who were quite prominent in White Hall at the time. Jan Price grew up in White Hall and when she and her husband, Terry, moved back to the United States from England, they purchased

the Victorian home and completely restored it inside and out, making it into a bed and breakfast with rooms centered around an English theme. LuAnn Mansfield, who is a kindergarten teacher for the North Greene School District, worked for Jan and Terry cooking for the many events held in the outdoor pavilion. “Jan and I have been friends for a long time – in fact she taught me baton lessons when she was the head twirler at the high school,” LuAnn Mansfield said. “When they moved back to England the place sat empty for two years until she approached David and myself about buying it. It was what we could afford and we both needed something to do when we retire.” LuAnn said they changed very little on the interior. “We did paint three of the rooms, but other than that everything is pret-

after the Mansfield’s own tastes and is painted all red because that is their favorite color; the Nathanial Greene Room is named after the man who Greene County was named for and contains Greene County memorabilia; the Huntsman Room is themed around the various forms of hunting which takes place in Greene County and the Founder’s Room is named for the two families who made the home what it is today – the Greenes and Prices. The Founder’s Room has a story behind it. “We call it the Founder’s Room because we have furniture in there from both the Greene family and from Jan and Terry Price,” LuAnn Mansfield said. “We have things from both the people who made this home what it is.” While the Prices left a few pieces in the home, the majority

of the antiques were taken back to England with them, which meant the Mansfields were challenged with the task of filling the huge home with period pieces to make it authentic. They have spent the past several months going to auctions and scouring antique stores for furniture. “We go to Cox’s Antique Auction every month and we have also bought several pieces from Widow on Windsor in Springfield,” LuAnn Mansfield said. “We have also gone through Three French Hens in Wildwood, Mo., who have helped us pick out the colors in the living room and the furniture.” Some of the furniture has been custom made by Greene Prairie Woodworks to match the vintage interior of the home. The Mansfield’s own bedroom, on the bottom floor, also doubles as an (See, GREEN GABLES, A2)

Cooperative Extension going strong in Greene County By CARmeN eNSiNGeR Greene Prairie Press Greene County Cooperative Extension Youth Development continues to thrive in Greene County according to County Director Aaron Dufelmeier who addressed the Greene County Board on March 12. Dufelmeier said they have been doing some programming with the alternative school in White Hall with some very successful results. “We have been going in and doing some life skill training with them with our ‘Welcome To The Real World’ program, which they thoroughly enjoyed,” he said. Students create a scenario in which they are 24 years old. They are allowed to choose a career and the salary which goes along with that career. They are responsible for paying off stu-

dent loans for college, purchasing a vehicle to get back and forth to work, rent on a home, etc. In other words, they are an adult responsible for everything from their food to a mortgage. They are also taught how to maintain a checkbook and balance it at the end of the month. “We let them live the dream that day – they can be whatever they want to be,” Dufelmeier said. “Some of them pick doctor or attorney because of the high salary but most of them are realistic and choose what they truly want to become.” It’s a reality check for most of the students. “At the end of the day, some of them walk away with a positive account balance, but others don’t,” Dufelmeier said. “It allows us to come back and discuss what choices they might make differently. They realize that some of those things that they at first considered needs

were really just ‘wants.’ All in all, the program went over very well.” The Extension recently implemented a shooting sports component and this program is up and running with its first meeting March 8. So far, 12 boys and nine girls have signed up for the program. “It took Illinois a little while to adopt the shooting component into their program,” Dufelmeier said. “But since they have it has continued to grow.” The Extension has also been doing some customer service training with Boyd Hospital which includes the discussion of the implementation of a leadership academy or program. “We want to know from you if you think it is necessary to move forward with this and how we should move forward,” Dufelmeier said. “Should we gear it more towards the young

professionals or should it be geared toward anyone and everyone? Ideally, we want to maintain good leaders at the local level in those roles like those of you on this board.” Regional Office of Education Superintendent Larry Pfeiffer also addressed the board with news from the ROE. Pfeiffer said in the last four years the ROE has moved every office and school. The latest move involves the ROE main office and Adult Learning Center in Jerseyville, which is moving to 201 West Exchange St. where the ROE sharing space with the University of Illinois Extension, a move Pfeiffer sees as very beneficial. “We are going to be able to collaborate with the Extension more with training and professional development now,” Pfeiffer said. “It is (See, COOPERATIVE, A2)

The Garden View Room is in the back of the house and overlooks the pool and gardens; the Lincoln Room contains a variety of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia, including a replica of his token top hat; the Mansfield Room is patterned

earn a spot on the ballot. “While it won’t show up on any of the lists generated by the computer, he did receive more than enough write-in votes to be put on the ballot in November,” Greene County Clerk Deborah Banghart said. Goode, who is currently serving as Greenfield’s Chief of Police, needed only seven write-in votes to earn a place on the ballot in November. In the Congressional race, Republican Rodney Davis handily defeated opponents Erika Harold and Michael Firsching garnering 632 votes to their 233 and 32, respectively. On the Democratic side, Ann Callis defeated opponents David Greene and George Gollin pulling in 271 votes to their 105 and 94, respectively. In the Republican race for Governor and Lt. Governor, Kirk Dillard and Jil Tracy led the voting with 44.5 percent of the vote. It was very close on the Democrat side with Tio Hardiman and Brunell Donald racking up five more votes than incumbent Pat Quinn and Paul Vallas, 236 to 231.

Reports of declining enrollment in the Carrollton School District are proving to be somewhat erroneous after the district submitted its latest Average Daily Attendance report to the state. Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox reported at the Carrollton School Board meeting on Monday, March 17 that the Average Daily Attendance is up 3.65 students over this same time last year. Seven more students were enrolled that same day, and a total of 17 students have been added since March 1. “We are definitely going in the right direction,” Dr. Cox said. “We like to see it going in this direction and it will help increase our General State Aid (GSA) a bit.” The district has been the recipient of several grants. The ag program recently received a $3,000 Rural Youth Development grant through the National FFA organization which will be used to fund the aquaponics system for the greenhouse. The ag program also received a $1,400 Supervised Agricultural Experience mini grant from University of Illinois to purchase online record books for students’ STEM projects. The Driver’s Ed program received a $2,000 grant for the Operation Teen Safe Driving Program. Funding will be used to purchase automotive safety kits and incentives for students to enhance their awareness of safe driving and emergency preparedness. C

Dr. Cox thanked the teachers of these programs, Christie Joehl and Nick Flowers, for obtaining these grants for the district. “These grants take time to write and submit and we appreciate the staff members for looking for them and for using those funds to enhance our programs here in the district,” Dr. Cox said. Faced with an aging bus fleet that has been having numerous breakdowns this winter, the district looked into purchase and lease options, submitting for bids from three different companies. Two of those companies, Midwest Transit and Midwest Bus Sales, met with board members with their proposals. The district decided to lease buses instead of purchasing them outright. “When we started looking at the lease versus purchase option, you are not coming out ahead by buying them outright,” Board Member Chad Craig said. “By leasing them we know we are going to get brand new equipment every three years and any large maintenance is going to be taken care of by the company. It’s really hard to make any sort of argument to own them – we are going to be money ahead by leasing them.” The district was looking to replace five buses which have begun to cost the district a great deal of money in maintenance. “We are starting to spend more money this year in maintenance fees in the last two or three years,” Board Member Rodney Reif pointed out.

himself as a jack-of-all-trades. “I just do whatever needs done around here,” David Mansfield said. “I’m kind of the groundskeeper and did most of the painting inside along with hanging of the pictures.” The only real renovation done on the house is the bridal room, which David and Derek Gilmore have done the work on. “We kind of renovated that whole room,” David Mansfield said. “We put a new floor in and took out the old lights and replaced them with antique Italian chandeliers with pink rosettes to go along with the theme of the room. “I’ve also done the renovations in the new bridal room including hanging two antique Italian chandeliers with pink rosettes to match the theme of the room.” Since LuAnn Mansfield has two more years teaching at North Greene before she can retire, she is relying on her family and friends to help out. “As far as staff goes – you are looking at it,” LuAnn Mansfield said. “We have three daughters and three sons-in-law, five grandsons and my parents in Roodhouse, so between them and my retired friends who are going to help when I am at school – we pretty much have it covered.” Greene Gables Inn has its own website at greenegablesinn. com which Young describes as a “work in progress.” “Once everything is completely done, we are bringing in a photographer to take photos of the different rooms and what all we offer and for us to use as promotions,” she said. “We are also on Facebook and listed on bedandbreakfast.com.” Anyone wishing to make a reservation for a room or book the pavilion for a party or hold a business meeting can call 217374-6000 or they can email at info@greenegablesinn.com. When asked what she would like people to take away from their stay at Greene Gables Inn, Young said it was that they had a relaxing time. “I want them to walk away from here rejuvenated because that is what a bed and breakfast is all about,” she said. “For people to get away and take a break from their daily routine. But at the same time we want this to be their home away from home. We hope when they leave they will want to come back because they feel comfortable here and don’t feel like they have stayed in a hotel where it’s ‘Hi, thank you and goodbye.’ We want them to feel like a part of the family.”

Cooperative (Continued from A1) going to be a great opportunity for us.” Regarding the multiple moves they have made over the past four years, Pfeiffer said it’s been tiring but great from a monetary point of view. “I’m tired of moving but we are very fortunate we have these facilities to work with,” Pfeiffer said. “Five years ago we had three properties we were paying a total of $90,000 rent on. With each of these moves we have signed an intergovernmental agreement saying we will help keep the building in shape but we will not pay rent. We have gone down to zero rent and have some pretty nice facilities now.” The board approved the purchase of three pieces of equipment for the highway department at a total cost of $294,810.25, which is about $25,000 less than what it had anticipated. The equipment included a track excavator, oil distributor and pile hammer. Highway Department Supervisor David Marth said $160,000 of this amount will be taken out of this year’s budget and the $134,000 balance will come out of next year’s budget. Until then, however, the county took out a loan for the $134,000 from Greenfield United Community Bank at an interest rate of 1.9 percent. Marth said the highway department is still soliciting for part-time workers. “We have advertised for the positions last month but the response has not been overwhelming,” Marth

(Continued from A1) A motion to lease five large buses and purchase one small diesel bus from Midwest Transit was unanimously approved. The district will be trading in six large buses and two small buses which will reduce the fleet from 11 to 9 units. Three of the newer buses will be kept to utilize for additional trips and spares. The district received approval of a $50,000 maintenance grant. This is a matching grant which means the district must spend $50,000 and will receive an additional $50,000 to make repairs around the district. Some uses of the grant money will be to install a new floor in the STEM lab, finish updating the windows in the industrial arts room and in the locker rooms, permanent ramps installed in the foyer of the high school and move the restrooms at the high school nearer the gym. The board approved two donations to the district. One was a $500 donation from Brad Nettles to the high school baseball program and the other was a $455 donation from the estate of Red Schofield to the high school girls basketball program. In other action, the board approved: n Resignation of Amanda Alvey as middle school girls volleyball coach. n Approval of letter of intent to retire and subsequent retirement bonus for Debra Shelton who plans to retire at the end of the 2018-19 school year. n Approval of Steve Adcock, Ginger Gilmore and Amanda Alvey as volunteer assistant middle school track coaches. n Authorization of the resolution for the honorable dismissal of 12 month ESP and reassignment as 10.25 month ESP for the 201415 school year – Sarah Cook and Melissa Prough (Due to financial needs of the district and subsequent reduction of funding.) n Authorization of the resolution of non-reappointment of extracurricular and/or athletic stipend positions – Daniel Campbell and Tiffany Flowers (annual procedure).

said. In 1992 the Greene County Health Department signed an agreement with the county to pay the county $2,600 annually because it had so many employees. The agreement was for between 30 and 50 employees and there was a clause that if it dropped below 30, the price would be adjusted. The department currently has 24 fulltime employees and two part-time employees. No other department within the county was under such an agreement. “We felt with them being under 30 employees that we would modify the agreement and make the fee zero dollars they would have to pay the county,” Board Member Mark Strang said. “If they rise about the level of 30 we could always go back and modify it again.” The motion passed unanimously as did a motion to allow Kirby Ballard to get an inspector to inspect the elevator in the courthouse. The county ambulance shed in White Hall has been listed with a realtor. Bob Moulton Realty submitted a low rate of four percent to list the building. Board Chairman Joe Nord made several appointments, all of which were unanimously approved. They included Dr. James Uhles to replace Dr. August Adams on the Health Department Board and Cathy Burkholder to replace Wilma Chappee on the Greene County Housing Authority Board. Chappee submitted her resignation effective Feb. 12. Burkholder will fill out Chappee’s term which expires in June 2016.

For this room, Norman and Barbara Yoder, owner of Greene Prairie Woodworks, created a unique piece which transforms the room from an office to a bedroom in a matter of seconds. They also constructed the huge dining table and furniture in two of the bedrooms. The Mansfield’s daughter, Lyn Young, is serving as event’s coordinator for the Inn. Prior to coming home, she worked several years for the Disney Company in their hotels/motels. “I’m using my knowledge from there and putting it in here,” Price said. “I aspire to have the same customer service that the Disney Company has, and I think we will come close to it if not a little bit better.” The first thing Price brought with her from Disney is the need for technology. “You have people who want to get totally away from everything and just relax in a nice rustic setting, and then you have other people who want to get away but need to stay connected,” Price said. “We have added wifi to the property so that anyone who stays with us can use the free wifi to connect to the Internet on their phones or other devices.” The living room contains a Smart TV which Young hopes area businesses will take advantage of for meetings. “We have whatever you need to hold a small business meeting here,” Young said. “The Smart TV will allow meeting agendas or powerpoint presentations to be shown. There are not many facilities in the area that are able to host a meeting like people want with technology.” The outdoor pavilion will hold 200 people and is available for bookings for weddings, reunions, showers, etc. If there is a need for more room, a tent can be added on the back to accommodate another 150 guests. Greene Gables has a liquor license and in addition to the bar inside, there is also a bar in the pavilion for the events held there. Technology will also have a big effect out there. “When we have the receptions out at the bar, the younger people these days do credit/debit cards and some don’t carry any cash at all,” LuAnn Mansfield said. “That was a problem before, but we have a card reader where we can swipe credit and debit cards. It’s all run on wireless so we can use it in the house or out at the bar and process the payment on the spot.” David Mansfield describes

GREENFIELD NEWS By MARY LOVE HAMMON

When I lived with my family on the hill east of Fayette, the hill was five acres. One hill to the west was three acres. It belonged to George and Mary Gosnell Holmes. She was a little thing. I helped her to make and cut homemade soap and to hang Mr. George’s bib overalls over a fence. While my sister Melba (age 5) read funnies from the Globe Democrat to him, I played “When I Grow Too Old To Dream” on the piano. My sister Mel and I called the Holmes couple grandpa and grandma. He milked his cows outside on one hill, he poured milk into a trough for the lambs on one side of the fence, he poured milk for pigs. If grandpa didn’t show up to milk, mother called his grandsons, Kenneth and Drayton Roller who lived nearby. They were the sons of David and Lulu Roller. The Holmes couple had four daughters and one son, Lynnie Holmes who lived in Arizona, Lulu, Dena Long, Tillie Shade lived on farms nearby. Miss Lela worked at Monticello College (for ladies) in Godfrey. Grandma Holmes was the daughter of a Civil War veteran. His home was in Hettick. Since we had aged relatives over there that the folks saw about, occasionally they brought grandpa Gosnell to visit the Holmes. He lived to be over 100. For a recliner, Grandpa Holmes bought a barber chair, bolted it to the floor, and cranked himself up and down (arthritis). Big surprise! Quite early this morning, my grandson, Jeremy Crumley telephoned from Joliet stating that his youngest daughter Averiee Cole Crumley was lonesome for me and wanted to talk with me. Her voice was full of laughter when she spoke, “Hi greatgrandma.” I asked her to throw me a kiss to catch. Mmwah was her kiss and I made the same kiss sound. She said, “I sure love you great-grandma and I caught the kiss.” During the day she stays with an aunt and two cousins. A.P. (brother) and Addison (sister) are in school. Mother Brooke is a medic and continues to study. Jer (daddy) is a deputy sheriff. Breyer Teaney of Des Moines, Iowa has been accepted as a college freshman (fall of 2014) at the University of Iowa. Taney is the son of the late Randy and Tammy Dalton Teaney. News from Amelia Burger - former Rockbridge man has gone to Glory. Don Wahl of the late Percy and Velma Wahl and Buzz and Wilma Burger Clark recently passed away. Condolences are extended. Clifton Hammond said, “I’ve seen dogs walk around in a circle before lying down. The other day I saw blackbirds flying in a circle over a pond.” I told him they were probably drakes dressed in tuxedos. Ha! Ha! One hundred years ago in 1914,

there was a snowdrift on the railroad track south and west of Greenfield where a passenger train loaded with people was stuck. The train was loaded people of all ages. The one I am writing about stated (I thought) near Eldred, came through the north part of Carrollton, touched Kahm Station, south edge of Greenfield, north edge of Fayette, onto Hagaman, onto Reader, Enos and stopped at Blackburn College in Carlinville. At the Carrollton station, travelers got off and went north to Roodhouse where they could board a train (B and O) and go to Springfield - the Wabash was over there and you could travel many stations. From Roodhouse you would go to Kansas, Denver, Colorado and westward to the coast. Today I telephoned the Historical Society in the Hodges Building in Carrollton to research the names of stranded trains. I called my niece Vickie Robinson Tiffany in Colorado for information. She said, “Call it Chattanooga Choo Choo. When we were children, brother and I said Galloping Goose!” Years ago Doctor Turpin told me that he boarded a train in Carrollton (as a boy) with his grandmother. They got off in Hageman and boarded a train going north to Hettick to visit the Ribble family. My dad and mother were married by Uncle john Bacon whose wife was a Ribble - the very home where Doctor Turpin visited years later. The last account I had a Sonneborn family resided there. Several years ago Winifred Pewter Locher’s father Fred Pewter gave two pictures of the stranded train to Doctor Turpin, asking him to have these published in the paper when the incident was a hundred years old. The portraits were signed: C. Burghart. One gentleman was Charles Burghart; his brother was Claude Burghart. Doctor Turpin asked me how they could get out there. I told him that our Uncle Si Jennings was coming home from Wyoming and was aboard that train. Two families, the Stantons and the Lochmans had steam engines that plowed the way for horses and wagons - men went with shovels and the town of Greenfield supplied blankets and hot coffee. Today I received a kit from Disabled Veterans of America for my contribution. Enclosed was the Pledge to our flag - I am sending to great-grandkids. The enclosed stamped return envelope was interesting. Four alarm clocks (forty cents) and three tall silver coffee pots (nine cents). Thanks to the Historical Society for researching one hundred year ago blizzard. The railroad line was C and A (east and west), CG and Q (north and south).

Fundraiser bringing ‘Celebrate America’ to Carrollton By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton Presbyterian Church Nurturing Committee is holding a fundraiser on March 25, to help raise funds to hold a special program on July 5. The program is called Celebrate America and is a collaborative effort between The Chosen Ones of Manchester and The Lesters of St. Louis. “The purpose of this program is intended to lift up honor to God, family and country through song, testimony and video presentation,” Donna Reif said. “This program is part of an outreach effort to raise money for our local Veteran’s Assistance Commission.” During intermission, a special presentation is planned to honor the men and women who have served in the armed forces.

“We are planning on working with the local American Legions in the county and our goal is to have a Color Guard from each legion and have the place packed and be able to honor all the veterans who are there plus honor God at the same time,” Reif said. “I know there are other programs that honor veterans, but sometimes when it is done on such a mass scale in the bigger cities with more resources, our little towns are kind of ignored.” In order to bring Celebrate America to Carrollton, they need to raise $2,000 through donations and fundraisers. “This community outreach is to raise money for our local Veteran’s Assistance Committee,” Reif said. “Donations will be taken at the program and all the money collected from food sales and free will offerings will go to the Greene County Veteran’s Assistance Commission – it is not going out of Greene County – it’s going to stay right here to help our

own veterans.” The Nurturing Committee, composed of Reif, Tim Reif, Nancy Flatt and Kirby Ballard, was formed to nurture fellowship in the church and the community. “This is a good way to kind of bring back the old traditions of faith, hope and charity along with God and country,” Reif said. “A lot of us are big flag wavers and we need more of that – I still get goose bumps when someone starts singing ‘God Bless America.’” The fundraising dinner will be held Tuesday, March 25, from 4 to 7 p.m. at CeeGeez Restaurant in Carrollton. The dinner is buffet style and consists of roast beef, fried chicken, salad bar and drink. Tickets are $12 for adults and $6.50 for children. Carryouts will be available. For more information or to make a donation toward the program, contact Tim Reif at 217-473-9321.

Eldred Baptist Church news Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace Our church services for today March 16th had Pastor Don bring us the message on Truth as in the continuing sermons on the Book of John. Today the message “Opposition to the Truth” focused on John 8: 31-32. “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and truth will set you free”. Pastor Don breaks these two verses down into three parts. 1) The potential (if you abide...) 2) The promise (and you will know the truth...) 3) The provision (and the truth will set you free..). The potential is the condition placed on being a true disciple. Our promise is the coming of the new covenant. The Holy Spirit will be our teacher. As we soak in the teachings of His Word, it gives a great opportunity for our Pastor (leader & teacher) and the congregation to grow and learn together as we study what it means to be a true disciple of Christ. At last, the provision is freedom. The freedom that Jesus Christ offers is not like any other freedom. The freedom that Christ is offering is the freedom to die without fear. The One who gave you salvation & life is promising you yet another eternal life, which is far greater than this one. Please come to our church services to listen to the message of love and Holy Spirit filled ,delivered by our own Pastor. He has such a passion and a powerful way to teach us. We are very blessed! Our church serves a Children’s

Ministry supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 pm for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. A new class will be starting and if you are interested, please call Thea Adcock at (217) 983-2724 .Our Sunday services include Sunday School at 9 am for adults and children’s classes and regular services at 10 am. Our services are always open, please come and join us. Sunday, March 23 a Spaghetti Dinner will be held with a auction. This dinner will start after our church services at noon. All proceeds will go to Lake Springfield Baptist Camp to help with maintenance and repairs of the facility, and also to purchase items on their “Wish List” . This is always a fun time. Please try to join us as the cause is a good one for our children attending a summer camp. Our church is also making a new “Church Directory” and we are looking forward to updating all information. Pictures for this directory will be taken the week of March 26– 29, 2014. We will continue the scheduling process at the Spaghetti Dinner. If you need spiritual service or counsel, please don’t hesitate to contact our church. You may reach Pastor Don at (618 ) 751-0007. You may also reach Pastor Don at doncarp@hotmail.com.

Trust in the Lord “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

iven the uncertainty of so much in our lives, the advice to trust in the Lord is almost always good advice. This is one of my father’s favorite expressions, and while that gives me a certain fondness for the expression, I must admit that I am sometimes slightly irritated when told to trust in the Lord. The irritation comes from the sense that we have given up on solving the problem or issue ourselves and are relying now on God to solve our problem. But given the feebleness of most of our efforts, and the weakness of our minds to grasp all the complexities of most situations, we

tion. The choir will practice for the Easter cantata tonight at 6:00. Please join us! Jordan and Mandee Ford, Jerry and Kelly Morse and Dustin and Chris Hart all celebrated anniversaries this week! Brother Bill read Isaiah 55:1-13. These versus talk about trusting in God and accepting him because he accepts you for who you are, no matter what you have done. “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” On Sunday night we welcomed Farm Hands Bluegrass Quartet. They blessed us with their upbeat music and praising of our Lord! Please pray for these: Jeremy Meyer, Juanita Muntz, Mary Jennings, Jerry Morse, Kourtnee Stephenson, Etta Campbell Frank, Threasa Walline (Gladys sister), Tyler Wiser (Gladys grandson). Please say an extra prayer for the family of Karleigh Damm, for the Lord has gained another Little Angel.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Spring came and then it decided to leave and winds were really cold. Down to 17 degrees last night and up to 40 today. We missed the big storm and we praise God for that. We had a good group at church and a good message on 2 Corn. 15: 5. It was good to have Betty back and Ed and Susie. No place like home. We missed all those who were not there and they missed a good blessing. Our prayer list is Andy Ross and Grace Ross, Ray and Patty Baldes, Betty Newman and Melanie Mast, the Davis family, Brenda Early, Chick Spangenberg and Mrs. Spangenberg, little Noah Baldes, Ed Crabtree and Susie Kiefer. Pray the Lord will send us a pastor. Bro. Slagel is filling in and we appreciate him and his wife so much. Patty we missed you so much and pray that you will be with us next week. Just one more week and it will be time for the benefit for the cemetery. March 29 at 11:00 - Joshie’s Potato Soup and Rhonda’s Chili, Junia’s Porteguese and Ham and Beans with corn bread. And all kinds of pies. All you can eat. Silent Auction with beautiful items, the entertainment will be really good with the Campfire Players. Don’t miss a thing especially

certainly need God’s help. It is usually pride, pride in our own efficacy and our own understanding, which makes us think we can solve our problems all by ourselves. There is nothing wrong with being a good problem solver, and indeed, the better we are at solving problems, the better our lives will be, both at home and at work, but we should always still realize that there are huge gaps in our understanding. We just don’t know what we don’t know, but should trust that God has everything under control. – Christopher Simon

We pray for the revivals that are going on and I feel that good weather is right upon us, as Sunday afternoon there were Robins everywhere and they seem to be happy. Why I think they were cold, but they know something that we don’t. The question is the same, Who was the oldest man? His son? His grandson? And great-grandson? You too can tell the weather if you follow the directions in Luke 12: 54 and verse after. You can be as good as the TV forecast. We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God. To those who are the called according to his purpose. Roman’s 8: 28 - Honor the Sabbath and see what happens. Isaiah 58: 13 - We must all realize that much is given much is required. Luke 17 - God used us all for his work. Let us be willing to give him some part of your week and a little time of each day. Life will be much easier with him. You could do nothing, nor could you be anything. Praise God and let’s all be in church Sunday. See you at Walkerville. We love you and do does Jesus.

Home Instead Senior Care is the world’s leading provider of nonmedical in-home care and companionship services for seniors, with more than 950 independently owned and operated franchises in 16 countries and 17 markets. Non-medical services include companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, Alzheimer’s care and escort for errands and shopping. The company’s CAREGiversSM are screened, trained, bonded, insured and have successfully passed thorough criminal background checks. During the past 10 years, the local Home Instead Senior Care office has provided services to many clients. A satellite office was opened in 2007 in Jacksonville to be able to better serve the clients in the northern counties of the territory. The Jacksonville office now serves as the operations hub for the local franchise. Amy and Jerry Best have built a team of over 100 CAREGivers 6 office staff. “We owe our success in large part to our dedicated staff who have a heart for serving older adults in the community,” Amy Best said.

Demographics also help tell the story of the local office’s growth. By 2050, an estimated 21 million seniors will be over 85 and 1 million will be older than age 100, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Many of those seniors’ families will need support. Family caregivers who use paid in-home non-medical care for their seniors reported having better overall health than did their counterparts who did not make use of such care, according to a Home Instead Senior Care network study.* Strong company brand and reputation have established Home Instead Senior Care locally, Jerry Best said. “The first advantage Home Instead Senior Care gave us was the opportunity to own the business, which was tremendous. Second, the company’s franchise formula provided us with a successful model, which served as a road map to help the business thrive.” In addition to owning and operating the local Home Instead Senior Care office, Amy Best also serves on the board of directors for Jersey Community Hospital, and is a membership chair for the Jerseyville Rotary Club. They are members of the local chamber of commerce organizations in Morgan, Jersey and Macoupin counties. Employees of Home Instead Senior Care also serve on committees at the Morgan, Jersey and Macoupin county chamber offices. To celebrate this milestone both offices held an open house the first part of March.

Brayden, Nick and Austin were selected as the Section 13 winners by a committee of agriculture industry representatives and teachers knowledgeable in this work-based area.

Illinois State High School archery tournament set for March 22 The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will host the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) Illinois State Tournament on Saturday, March 22 at the Orr Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. Participation continues to grow as 873 archers from 32 schools have qualified to compete. The 2013 State Tournament drew about 700 archers; 400 students competed in 2012. Top finishers qualify for the NASP National Tournament to be held May 9-10 in Louisville, Kentucky. “We are proud of the studentathletes who are coming to Spring-

field to represent their schools in the State Tournament,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “Outdoor sports are a growing part of extracurricular programs at many schools in Illinois, and we look forward to seeing these accomplished young men and women compete.” Students will compete in three divisions, including Elementary (Grades 4-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9-12). Members of the Illinois Archery Association provide volunteer support for the event. Last year’s state champions were Schlarman Academy High School of Danville (Grades

9-12), Georgetown-Ridge Farm Junior High School (Grades 6-8), and Jefferson Elementary School in Charleston (Grades 4-5). NASP is a nationally acclaimed youth archery program that implements a curriculum-based archery education program into the public/private school system through the physical education department. The program started in Kentucky in 2002 and has expanded to include 12,000 participating schools and one million students in five countries. Illinois was one of the first 10 states registered in the program.

TRI-COUNTY REAL ESTATE TOUR

Buying a new home is the most expensive purchase a person is likely to make in his or her lifetime. It also can be one of the more stressful. The Employee Relocation Council states that moving is the third most stressful event in life, following death and divorce. But a well-timed move can reduce stress and save money. Moving during certain times of the year can result in considerable savings. Moving during the summer, when children are out of school and the weather is nice, can make a move more manageable. Keep in mind that because late spring and summer are the peak moving seasons, they also tend to be more expensive. Many moving companies and truck rental agencies will charge a premium if you use their services during the summer. Furthermore, crews may change in the summer when students on vacation could fill in for regular, more experienced movers. High prices are not only reserved for those who buy a new house during the spring and summer. Renters may find spring and summer is also the peak season for rentals. Many apartment managers can attest that the dates between June 2 and August 30 are quite busy in terms of apartment turnover. College students are more likely to move as soon as the academic year ends, and many landlords plan leases to expire in the summer months to ensure that re-renting places will be easier thanks to a

flooded apartment market. According to Apartment Wiz, a Houston-based apartment locating service, although there might be greater apartment availability during the warm-weather months, it also means greater competition between prospective tenants. That greater competition can drive up prices. But apartments are harder to fill in the fall or at the onset of winter. That's because many people do not want the hassle of moving once school has started or the weather has chilled. Landlords who are stuck paying utilities and advertising fees for vacant apartments are far more likely to negotiate rent prices, lease terms and even security deposits during the winter in an effort to fill the apartment quickly. Here are some other tips to reduce stress and save money when moving into a new home or apartment. n Move mid-week. Weekends are a prime time for truck rentals and moving companies. Pick a Tuesday or a Wednesday to move, and you're much more likely to find an available moving service (even during peak moving months); you may even be able to negotiate a lower rate. n Schedule a fall or winter move. The American Moving and Storage Association says half of all moves occur during one-third of the year -- between the beginning of May and Labor Day. Beat the rush by moving outside of these dates.

OHV Stamp implementation postponed for changes The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), in cooperation with the Illinois Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, will postpone implementation of the Illinois Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Usage Stamp until further notice. The postponement will allow time for the Illinois General Assembly to consider changes to the law that would exempt certain users. “This is a good faith move on our part to make sure all the rules are in place before OHV riders are required to purchase a stamp,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “We also will use this time to seek additional public input as we begin to develop an off-highway riding program in Illinois.” The IDNR supports previously announced changes to the original OHV Usage Stamp law, including reducing the OHV stamp fee for youth off-highway vehicles (75cc and under) and adding several exemptions. Additional exemptions to the OHV stamp would include standard golf carts, OHVs operated on land owned by the operator or the operator’s immediate family, OHVs operated by persons with certain disabilities, OHVs operated for any commercial business purpose, OHVs

operated at a commercial riding park, and OHVs registered with the Illinois Secretary of State. Legislation to enact those changes (Senate Bill 2633), sponsored by State Sen. David Koehler and State Rep. Frank Mautino, is pending in the Illinois General Assembly. The postponement will allow additional time for OHV users, and others interested in motorized outdoor recreation, to provide input on planning for development by the IDNR of public OHV riding facilities in Illinois. The OHV Usage Stamp, approved as part of the IDNR Sustainable Funding initiative in 2012, was scheduled to become effective April 1, 2014. When implemented, funds generated through the OHV Usage Stamp will be used to develop public-access trails for OHV use in Illinois, and to utilize more than $1 million in federal funds currently available for motorized trail development and maintenance through available matching state funding. When implemented, the annual OHV Usage Stamp will be $15, plus a $0.50 issuance fee to the point-of-sale vendor.

www.greeneprairiepress.com Thank You

Thank you to all who came out on March 12th for my mom’s breast cancer spaghetti dinner benefit! I was truly humbled and on the verge of tears all night because I never knew so many people could care so much! You all were amazing! I would like to give a special thank you to the following people who went above and beyond for us to put this on: Tiffany Cornelius-is there nothing you can’t do?!? You are super-woman and I am blessed to have a friend like you! Without you this would have never been the success it was! Stan Karrick and Edna Vinson: you two worked so hard for us and you had never even met us before! I am so glad to have had you working beside me that day! Christ shined through both of you that day and touched this girls heart! On a side note: breadsticks are never safe if Stan is around. John and Mary Streubel: Again, complete strangers to me but went all out for me and my mom that day and I couldn’t be more grateful. We need more people in the world like you! Adam Hosmer (Pastor Adam): The way your church members stepped up and made this happen blew me away! You all truly were the hands and feet of Christ that day! Jamie Bell: For all your help in the kitchen and your willingness to wear the spaghetti sauce just to help a friend out! Blessed to count you as one of my friends! Dawn Weaver for coming out to help us even after working all day! You were guardian (server) of the breadsticks that day, because if we had left it to Stan we would have had to roll him out of there by the end of the night! Ron and Pat Forbes: Thank you for staying after and helping us clean up, I never met you before but I was so exhausted by that time that every little bit of help was greatly appreciated! Bob and Sandy Cornelius: Sandy thank you for getting a box together for the donations and doing some errand running for us. Bob thank you for staying after to clean up despite not feeling well yourself! Dale Cornelius for running back and forth for us too! Louie Van Deven for picking up my kids and dropping them off to me. I know you thought it “wasn’t much”, but it was a HUGE thing that day! Chris Cornelius for forgoing “guy time” to get tables out of the church for us and helping us set them up! Bradley Cornelius for all the help cleaning up you don’t understand how exhausted we all were and to have the extra hands was a Godsend! A big thank you to all the people to stuck around to help clean up afterwards! You all don’t know how loved this girl and her mom felt that day. From the bottom of my heart and my mom’s thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Natalie Steinacher and Cyndi Suttles

Bust out the brackets, bring on Madness Move over, winter holiday season. March Madness is the most wonderful time of the year. The 68-team field for this season's NCAA men's basketball The Sam Antics By Sam Elliott tournament was announced Sunday and, if you're like me, you've already spent roughly 68 hours in the time since then studying the bracket, crunching numbers, guessing — and second guessing and third guessing — your Final Four and eventual champion. It's never an easy task, but it seems exceptionally more difficult for me to feel confident about picking a bracket this season. There are plenty of teams that could plausibly go on a run to win the title. None of the No. 1 seeds are safely assured a trip to the Final Four in North Texas. There are like five teams in the Midwest Region — from here on referred to as the Midwest Region of Death — alone that are talented enough to win it all. Teams like Michigan State and defending champion Louisville — who each just won their respective conference tournaments in impressive fashion — couldn't get better than No. 4 seeds from the selection committee. Louisville is one of three Final Four teams from last season grouped into this year's Midwest Region of Death. No. 2 Michigan and undefeated No. 1 Wichita State are the others. The region also includes talented Duke, Saint Louis and Kentucky squads. Good luck picking even the Sweet 16 teams to advance out of that region. Wichita State and even teams like Virginia Commonwealth, Gonzaga and San Diego State aren't quite the underdog darlings as they were once perceived anymore, but you just know there's some new team out there none of us have heard of before that's just waiting to bust millions of brackets across the country. Maybe it's Stephen F. Austin, North Carolina Central, North Dakota State or LouisianaLafayette about to play the role of this season's Florida Gulf Coast. Picking the games is the hard part. Watching them is the easy — and most fun — aspect of March Madness. Picking the games is like the pregame planning. Watching them is the actual execution — and you've got to be on top of your game and dedicated to your craft if you want to watch March Madness like a true March Madman. My friends and I had it down to a science during the college days. The timing was perfect — the tournament always began during the exam week prior to spring break at the University of Cincinnati. No selfrespecting professor would actually make you go take their exam during exam week. They want an early start to spring break, too. So after the final week of classes became de facto exam week, we'd go all in on the March Madness watching. Who's got the biggest TV? OK, their place became our base of operation. The best game airing at the time got top billing on the big screen, while the three other games going on at the same time were each delegated to one of three computers. I mean, you don't want to miss anything. If you're not watching four games at once for the first few days of March Madness, are you really even watching at all? Working careers and real life have since taken us from those glory days of March Madness viewing the past few years, but we all still manage to not miss a minute of the action. Technology's become a powerful tool for the true March Madmen. I'm already excited to do nothing but watch basketball all weekend. Oh, what's that, you can't write a March Madness column without making predictions? OK fine. Give me Florida, Creighton, Louisville and my Cincinnati Bearcats — hey a fan can dream, can't he? — in the Final Four with the Cardinals repeating as national champs. Remember, you heard it here first. Or, when I'm completely wrong, please feel free to just completely forget. Bring on the Madness! selliott@campbellpublications.net

Tigers honor program's all-time scoring leaders With the Greenfield-Northwestern boys basketball program welcoming a new member to its 1,000-point club this season, the Tigers honored their top-10 all-time leading scorers Feb. 7 at Greenfield High School. Senior Isaac Masters surpassed the 1,000-point milestone Dec. 9, 2013, and ended his career with 1,523 total points to finish third on the program's all-time scoring list. The Tigers' 10th-leading scorer is Greenfield's current mayor. Chuck Morrow, who played from 1966 to 1969, has 1,000 career points and set the program's single-game scoring record with 50. Doug Stuart scored 1,001 points from 1985 to 1988 and is No. 9 on the all-time scoring list. The eight-leading scorer is the first of three Bowmans on the list. Greenfield superintendent Kevin Bowman scored 1,012 points while playing from 1987 to 1990. Mike Wagner is the No. 7 scorer in Tigers history, finishing his

career with 1,020 points from 1973 to 1976. Dan Bowman, who later coached the Tigers for 26 years and coached six of the top-10 scorers, is the sixthleading scorer in school history. He scored 1,041 points from 1965 to 1969. Patrick Bowman is No. 5 with 1,216 points. Now the superintendent of the Northwestern school district, Bowman scored 1,216 points playing from 1993 to 1997. Jared Garner totaled 1,277 points during his career from 1988 to 1991, ranking fourth in school history. The Tigers' No. 2 all-time scorer is Dan Bishop, who tallied 1,626 points and set the school's career field goal percentage record from 1982 to 1986. Cody Bettis' 1,825 career points remain the most for any player in Tigers basketball history. Bettis played from 1991 to 1995 and finished in the school's all-time top three in nearly every statistical category.
