Greenfield high school principal seeking to make GHS a better place for all By CarmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Better test scores is the goal of every administrator, but there are more lofty goals principals seek: to make their schools better on a more personal level. It is with this in mind that Greenfield High School Principal Beth Bettis informed the Greenfield School Board of her plans to present a program called “Rachel’s Challenge” in the fall. Rachel’s Challenge was started by the family and friends of Rachel Scott, the first student killed in the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. “Rachel had a personal goal to

share – kindness and compassion each day in the hopes of starting a chain reaction throughout her family, school and community,” Bettis said. “This is the message of Rachel’s Challenge.” Bettis said the idea came last year after Christmas break when she met with every class and discussed, among other things, what they could do to make GHS better. “One suggestion from some of the students was to bring in a speaker or have an assembly on bullying,” Bettis said. “We did this a few years ago with some neighboring schools when the Chalk Guy came. I got on the Illinois Principal’s Association Listserv to see what

EXPLORING

programs and speakers other principals had used that were well received, and Rachel’s Challenge came up time and again as a fantastic program.” Bettis began doing research on her own on the program and contacted the challenge administrators to see about the cost, dates and other logistics. The cost of the program is $3,600 and while an anonymous donation of $1,000 has been received toward the program, there is a lot of fundraising needing to be done before the scheduled Oct. 8 program. “We are planning some fundraisers here at the school with the students, and I also hope to have

the students from our Fellowship of Christian Athletes group be the liaison with local churches and youth groups to solicit donations,” Bettis said. “I am also writing for some grants and plan to visit with local community groups to garner support.” Bettis met a week ago with community stakeholders and said the idea was very well received. “I was assured the support would be there and I am counting on that,” she said. “I am very excited about the program and the possibilities it presents for my students.” The program is scheduled for fall because the group that runs the program likes to come early in

The former Greene County Probation Officer charged with theft and official misconduct will have her day in court on June 21. At a preliminary hearing on March 20, Candy Osborne, of Roodhouse, pleaded not guilty to felony charges alleging theft and official misconduct while in the position of probation officer in Greene County Circuit Court. Charges were filed by Special Prosecutor Charles Zalar with the State’s Attorney’s Special Prosecutor’s office on Dec. 3, 2013, alleging between Sept. 1, 2004 and Dec. 31, 2011, Osborne received reimbursement from county funds for mileage she did not travel in excess of $10,000 but less than $100,000. The official misconduct charge alleges while in her official capacity as probation officer she performed acts in excess of her lawful authority by overstating the number of miles she had driven in the month of December 2011 in her claim for mileage reimbursement,

thereby receiving more money than she was entitled to receive. Osborne appeared in court with her attorney, Craig Grummel, in front of Judge Jeffery Tobin of Jacksonville and waived her right to a preliminary hearing, pleaded not guilty to both charges and requested a trial by jury. Judge Tobin set the case for pretrial on June 19 at 2 p.m. with the trial set to begin on June 21 at 9 a.m. Osborne submitted her resignation from her position with the county effective June 1, 2012, four months after her husband, Terry Osborne, was arrested on two counts of possession of a controlled substance in January 2012 and again in March 2012 when he was charged with Witness Tampering after allegedly threatening a witness with bodily harm. Terry Osborne struck a deal with the state on Sept. 6, 2012, pleading guilty to one charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance while the other two charges were dismissed. He received 24 months probation and a $500 fine.

the school year so the school and students can sustain the message throughout the entire school year. They will do a program for the kindergarten through fifth grades and a second program for the sixth through twelfth grades. They will also be available to assist students as they take this message and come up with ways to implement it. That same evening they will hold a community event for parents and community members to share the message, as well. “I hope this program is one that the entire community will benefit from, and anyone who may want to donate toward the cost may do so at GHS,” Bettis said.

Disregarding all inferences to Shakespeare’s famous quote in Hamlet, “The play is the thing” – in North Greene the annual high school play really is the thing, the one thing everyone looks forward to with anticipation year after year. This year North Greene High School presents “Willy Wonka, Jr.” with performances scheduled for Saturday, April 12 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m. at the high school’s old gym. This year’s play is being directed by Cindy Carlson-Rice, Barb Neece, Lesa Jackson, Beth Burrus and Karen Voigts, all of whom have had experience in these productions before. Voigts said they have a rather unique way of deciding which play to produce. “All of our musicals have been chosen based on the group of students available for that year,” she said. “We try to fit the show to the kids as well as fitting the kids to the show by teaching them to express themselves on stage.” More than 30 students tried out for a role in the musical. “The tryout process is the same as we have used for years,” Voigts said. “Students read lines for a variety of parts, sing, and learn a basic dance step. Every student who tries out is in the show and every student in the show has a line. They all sing and they all dance. We tell them up front that this is a musical and this is what you do in a musical.” Practices began the second week in February with the first two weeks dedicated to read throughs and learning the music. The last week in February performers moved to the stage where they have blocked the entire show with input from all of the directors and stage crew as well as the actors themselves. Four students have volunteered to be on the stage crew and their work begins as soon as the practices start. “They begin to work on the sets, props, marking the stage and figuring out how all the magic works together,” Voigts said. There are many others involved behinds the scenes, as well. Josh Lawson and his ag class routinely build sets for the play and Nancy Young will again paint backdrops for them. Brandon Roberts, the father of one of the cast members, is building props, and many things such as furniture and props are borrowed from

or donated by patrons. Several adults and NG alumni help with makeup and hair on dress rehearsal day and the days of the actual production. While it might be much simpler to just rent costumes for the productions, the limited budget on which the production operates doesn’t make this a feasible option anymore. “In the past we have rented a few to a majority of the costumes for some of the productions and either we must make a long road trip with a van to pick them up or we must have them shipped to us, plus the actual rental of the customs plus cleaning and shipping them back,” Voigts said. “This makes renting costumes very expensive, so in recent years we have changed to making/borrowing/creating/reusing our own costumes. The biggest advantage of doing this is that our creations are ours to keep and use again. We have amassed quite a collection of types and sizes of costumes, hats, shoes and props over the years. Each year we alter and modify and add to what we have to create exactly what we need for the current show.” This is the eighth musical produced by this group of directors, the first of which was 10 years ago. “Ten years ago, the current NGHS freshmen were in kindergarten,” Voigts said. “I’m sure many of them have seen many of our productions. We had a lot of freshmen try out this year with no coaxing on our part.” Once a student is in a production – they are hooked. “I think over the years, we, the directors, have learned a lot about producing a great show and making it fun in the process,” Voigts said. “Once a student is in one of our shows, he or she comes back year after year and many seniors have regretted waiting until their senior year to participate in a show.” As for the reason the directors keep coming back year after year – that is easy – the kids. “We continue to direct these musicals because we are hooked on watching the transformation of our students into singers, dancers and performers,” Voigts said. “With each show they continue to amaze us with their talent. All directors are volunteers and the entire stipend for the production is put back into the theatre fund to help pay for the costs of the production.” ”Willy Wonka, Jr.” is described as a very upbeat show with lots of music and dance, bright colors and talented performers

By CarmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press The city of Roodhouse received four bids when it advertised for mowing for the coming season. Those bids ranged from a low of $15,400 by Go Green Lawn Care of Brighton to a high of $53,025 by Green Works in Jacksonville. Ken Wise, of Shiloh Mowing, who has had the contract for the past several years, came in with a bid of $19,800 while Bradford Lawn Care submitted a bid of $25,500.60. After a 20-minute closed session, the council unanimously approved the bid of $15,400 from Go Green Lawn Care of Brighton. Additional areas not specified in the bid packet will be charged a rate of $30 per hour. With Alderman Charlie Huffines abstaining, the council approved a bid of $15,120 from Ballard Bros. Construction for demolition and

removal of the building next to Joe’s Pizza. Roodhouse Mayor Tom Martin said Ballard Bros. was the only bidder on the project. “I approached two other bidders to see if they wanted to submit a bid, but they didn’t want to bid on it,” Martin said. “Because it has a shared wall with Joe’s Pizza, there is going to be a lot of hand work involved. He said he would have to take the wall clear down to the top of Joe’s Pizza by hand.” In an effort to find the source of the city’s continued water loss, the council approved contracting Tim Bliss to do a leak detection on the city water system at a cost of $2,000 for two days of work. Should a third day be necessary, there will be no charge to the city. A motion to purchase two bullet proof vests for the police department was amended to only one as the projected cost was more than expected. (See, roodhouse, A2)

Scholarship forms now available at GHS By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Greenfield Foundation for Educational Excellence was founded to help students further their education through scholarships, and it continues to thrive from the support of the community. Greenfield School Board member Elliott Turpin reported the foundation’s latest fundraiser, the pork chop dinner at St. Michael’s Hall on March 16, was a big success. “More than 500 tickets were sold to this dinner,” Turpin told the board at the March 18 regular school board meeting. “This is going to go a long way towards our ability to offer even more scholarships to students.” Founded in 2010, the Foundation has provided 55 scholarships and 27 mini-grants, totaling $35,003.64. The foundation exists to provide scholarships to graduating seniors from Greenfield High School. It also provides mini-grants to teachers at both the elementary and high schools. The competitive minigrants allow teachers to come up with enrichment programs and special opportunities for students which may not be available without supplemental funding. Scholarship forms are now available at the high school for any graduating senior who wishes to apply. High School Principal Beth Bettis gave the curriculum report stating both math and language arts are now aligned with new Illinois Learning Standards. “The high school staff is continuing to develop and align their curriculum with the ultimate goal to have clear sets of expectations, goals and assessments for all classes,” she said. Superintendent Kevin Bowman informed the board the telephone system at the elementary school had to be replaced after the control box failed. District architect Tony Audo has started the designs for a concrete sidewalk replacement at the elementary school. The district has also put in for a quote on a new sound system for the district. To help with some of the needed repairs, the district received a $25,000 maintenance grant. It is a 50/50 matching grant, which means the district must spend $25,000 in order to receive the additional $25,000. In other words, the district will be able to make $50,000 in repairs for only $25,000. Following the resignation of longtime District Librarian Jan Prough and Family and Consumer Sciences teacher Luann Hubbard at the end of this school year, the board voted to reduce those two positions to half-time. The board also authorized Bowman to move forward on upgrading Internet and telephone services with Frontier Communications who had presented their proposal earlier

THE PAST

Birthday boy Don Allen, who celebrated his 100th birthday on Saturday, March 22, shares memories with Hazel Moushon at a reception held at Seton Hall in White Hall. Allen was born and raised in Roodhouse graduating from Roodhouse High School but spent many years in Carrollton as manager of the federal land bank which covered four counties. Needless to say, the reception hall was packed with well wishers. Sitting next to Allen is his granddaughter Jenny (Day) Hooper.

Don Allen celebrates 100th birthday By CARMeN eNSiNgeR Greene Prairie Press

Ask Don Allen what the secret is to a long and happy life and he will tell you it’s always looking forward to something in the future. The former Roodhouse resident celebrated his 100th birthday on Saturday, March 22 with an open house at Seton Hall in White Hall where friends and family gathered to help him celebrate the monumental occasion. Now a resident of White Hall Nursing and Rehab Center, Allen still manages to attend Roodhouse Baptist Church on Sunday morning followed by lunch with what he calls his “harem,” a group of much younger ladies in their 70s and 80s who attend church every Sunday. “They have never taken offense to it,” Allen said referring to what he calls his lady friends. “It’s the one thing I still look forward to every week.” Allen is a descendant of Thomas Allen who was one of the first known settlers of Greene County who settled near Belltown and became proprietor of Allen’s Mill. The very millstone used to grind the grain at this mill was donated by Don Allen to the Greene County Historical Society and it now sits in the front yard of the Lee Baker Thomas House on the square in Carrollton. Born on March 22, 1914, the son of James Harvey and Myrtle (Moore), Allen grew up on the family farm in Roodhouse and attended Roodhouse High School, graduating in 1932. He knew he wanted to attend college, but he had to earn the money before he could go so he worked several years on the farm saving his money. Finally, in 1935 the day came when he had earned enough money to pursue his dream. “I had $300 in my pocket and I got my suitcase out, stuck out my thumb and hitched my way to University of Illinois in Bloomington,” Allen said. “When I got up there, I found myself a room and started classes.” To help pay his way through college, Allen bought and sold candy bars to the different fraternities and sororities. “I’d bicycle to Champaign and get a load of candy and put them in boxes at the sororities and the kids would buy them – it worked on the honor system where I trusted them to pay me for it,” Allen said. “Eventually, I had a big enough route built up that they delivered the candy right to me. It helped put me through school.” Another key component to his longevity is his sense of humor. “There were a couple of sororities up there that were made up mostly of kids who came down from Chicago and they just weren’t honest,” he said. “I had to take the candy away from them. As far as I’m concerned, those folks from Chicago were not trustworthy even back then.” Of course, he also has some

of the longevity gene in his DNA makeup. Allen’s grandmother, Nancy Ann (Moore) Alred, also lived to celebrate the century mark. Allen was the first member of his family to attend college and graduated with a degree in agriculture in 1939. This, too, would become a family tradition. Judge Jim Day, who married Allen’s daughter, Dottie, graduated from Law School at U of I while Dottie received her degree from Illinois College. The Day’s two children, Jenny and Jim, both graduated from U of I just like their father and grandfather. Dottie Day said her daughter, Jenny, went up to U of I in search of some history of her grandfather. “She found something we never knew anything about before,” Day said. “My father was president of the University of Illinois Agriculture Council – he had never mentioned anything about this to any of us before. We also found out his grades were so good he was listed on the honor roll.” The year was 1937 and Allen had found his way back to Roodhouse for a visit. While walking down the road leading to the home he had lived in his entire life, which just happened to be a log cabin covered with clapboard, he would see something which would stick out in his mind for nearly 80 years. “I was coming down the road to our house and when I got there – the house was gone,” Allen said. “My folks had purchased a home from Clyde Hopkins and moved it onto the property. They took the log cabin portion of the house and put it at the very back of the property.” This log cabin, which probably dates back to the 1840s or ‘50s, remained there for the next 70 years, but it was always at the forefront of Allen’s mind. In 2007 at the age of 94, Allen decided to move the cabin back to the front of the property. “My daughter had talked to me about 10 years earlier about moving it back to where it belonged, so I thought I better get started on it before I got too old,” Allen said in a 2008 interview. The original cabin didn’t have a stone chimney but Allen decided when he reconstructed it that it would. “We made four or five trips down to the quarry to get rock and my grandson, Jim, and I hauled a bunch of rock from a creek bed to construct it,” Allen said. “We used stacked up bales of straw in order to reach the top.” Allen held open houses during Greene County Days for several years after he rebuilt the cabin. When World War II erupted, Allen was a member of the US Army 760 th Field Artillery Battalion in 1945 where he saw 99 days of combat in the Philippines. Many decades later, Allen would be responsible for organizing and gathering the members of the battalion for their very first reunion – something for which he would receive a plaque from the mem-

bers in 1997. During his last reunion in Pennsylvania, Dottie and husband Jim, rented a car and traveled to Washington D.C. with Allen where he visited the World War II and other various war memorials. The Days had donated money in Allen’s memory when it was being built and this resulted in Allen receiving a photo of the monument when it was being built. But nothing could compare to actually visiting the memorial. “This little girl came up to me and wanted to shake my hand,” Allen recalls. “She said her greatgrandfather had been in World War II and she wanted to shake the hand of a World War II veteran. “ Dottie Day remembers that day all too well, also. “There were quite a few people who came up to us that day and thanked him for his service to our country,” Day said. “It was cold as heck but nobody cared because it was such a momentous occasion.” Once back on US soil, Allen put his degree in agriculture to good use and for many, many years managed the federal land bank in Carrollton, helping farmers in Greene, Jersey, Calhoun and Macoupin counties with their farm loan needs. Following his retirement from the land bank, Allen and his friends set out on a course to see every state in the United States. Three of his friends, Bob Becker, Elmer “Butch” Hetzer and Eugene Rollins could usually be found as a traveling companion during these escapades. “We tried to get Bobby Becker to put his feet in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, but he never would do it,” Allen said. “But he did put them in the Gulf of Mexico. When Eugene Rollins was along, we had to make trips to Eugene, Ore., and Rollins, Wyo., just so he could say he had been to those places.” Terrill Barger, daughter of Elmer Hetzer, remembers these trips very fondly. “I used to call them the four old coots because they were probably in their 60s when they started out,” she said. “My dad helped Don on the farm and they took many trips together over the years. I think they went to just about every state.” Allen said they visited only about half of them. Allen lived on his own on his farm in Roodhouse until April 2013 when a bad fall forced him into the nursing home. When his family is not visiting, taking him to church or to dine with his harem, Allen likes to keep his mind active with Sudoku puzzle books. Allen was enjoying reliving memories from the past, but, alas, first things first. “I gotta go – my harem is waiting,” Allen said as he was rolled out of the nursing home wearing a new sweater his harem had given him as a birthday present. “I guess I’ll see you in another 10 years.” That’s Don Allen – always looking ahead to the future.

Ye shall eat till you be full of the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth. This is what God told Ezekiel to prophesy.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Will spring ever Spring in? the sun was nice, but the wind and temperature was cold. Snow is in the forecast, but we hope it will pass us by. Cold temperatures all week. We had a good message on heaven from 2 Cor. 3: 8. Heaven is one place you don’t want to miss out on. It’s so easy to get there, but straight is the gate and narrow is the way and few that enter there in. I don’t want to be late. Jesus could come any day. Let us all be prepared and ready. Our prayer list is Pam Schumate, Brenda Early, Mr. and Mrs. Spangenberg, the Dobson family, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Grace Ross, Tom Morehead, all our church family who were not with us Sunday, Ed Crabtree and Susie Kiefer. The question was studied and the answers are: Methuselah was 969 years old when he died and Enoch was his son died at 365, Lemech was his grandson lived to be 777, Noah was Methuselah’s great-grandson lived to be 950. Aren’t you glad we don’t have to live that long? Question for this week is who died, but was never born? Two of them. Who was born, but never died? Two of them. Come Sunday and get the answers. Remember you miss

and 20 years of coming to Charity this week!! Brother Bill read Corinthians 1:12-13. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? Brother Rob spoke Sunday night about showing Gods love to other people. How do you show Gods love and help other people? It is a question that holds multiple answers and no answer is wrong. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so - Proverbs 3:27. Do good works, help people and show them the Lord and his eternal love. Please pray for these: Reba Hester, Karleigh Damm family, Karen Piper-Smania, Barb Kahl, Carol Bushnell, 5 year old Emma, Joe Blake, Jeremy Meyer, Juanita Muntz, Mary Jennings, Jerry Morse, Kourtnee Stephenson, Carl Winters, Gary White, Phil Chessar, Phyllis Clevenger and the Pulpit commitee as they search for a new pastor for our church.

Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 Our church service today March 23 reminded everyone of the blessings our Lord has given to each one of us. Our Pastor Don and his family were on a special family weekend so we were blessed with a young Ministry student who clearly loves the Lord. He focused his sermon on “God is Holy – God is Personal – God is Love.” When we are in the presence of our Lord, we are held accountable for the truths we learn. We go to Isaiah 6: 1-9. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty. This repetition underscores God’s infinite holiness. It is a privilege to be in the presence of the Lord. God is personal. Only through His Son Jesus Christ can we go to the Father. He must be worshiped in a way the Bible instructs us . All of salvation is a gift from God showing His unconditional love for us. The Aaronic benediction of Numbers 6: 24-26 is traditionally a peace offering but important to repeat.” The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace”. Once again , a reminder of God’s love for all of us who love Him. How we loved the message of faith from this young man. We pray God’s holiness and love will follow his footsteps as he travels on his journey and mission to spread God’s Word. Our church service this morning was blessed with special music from Mike Hale. He is a very important part of the music brought to area venues singing with “The Master’s Plan”

group. Our own Greg Reif is a part of the group and it was his blessing to ask Mike to join us for church service. Thank you Mike for the wonderful songs – My God is Real and It is no secret what God can do. Thank you Greg for asking him. Today we held our Spaghetti Dinner and Auction after church. It was well attended, food was good and Baptist women know how to make desserts. The auction was fun for all and the proceeds go to the Lake Springfield Baptist Camp to help with maintenance and repairs of the facility. Thank you to all who helped and spent money for a great cause. Blessings to you! 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. 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. 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. Our church is so very blessed to have Don Carpenter and his family to be a very special part of Eldred Baptist Church.

God Did Not Bring Death Into the World In the first chapter of the Wisdom of Solomon we are told two very amazing things: God did not make death and there are no unwholesome substances in nature. The passage runs as follows: “God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living. For he created all things that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome, and there is no destructive poison in them.” (Wisdom of Solomon 1: 13-14) How should we understand this? It certainly seems counter-intuitive, but upon closer inspection, we realize that death is merely the negation of life, and what we call death is simply the transformation of the body back into its primal elements, and what happens to the soul after

thank Him for all he does for us? God condemns no one. The lady caught in adultery and the Scribes & Pharisees condemned her but Jesus said the one that was without sin should cast the first stone. It’s easy to see the sins that are in the open but sometimes the ones committed in the dark are so much worse. We are to rebuke sin. If we say we have no sin the truth is not in us. But Jesus died for our sins. He’s the only way to be saved. If we confess our sins He able to forgive us. Hope to see you in church Sunday.

death is perhaps life, and life more abundantly. Likewise, the counter-intuitive claim that there is no destructive poison in the natural world is perhaps another way of saying that everything in the natural world has its proper uses. The poppy can be used to make codeine and morphine, which have their proper uses as a cough suppressant and a pain reliever, or they can be misused as an intoxicant. There is great wisdom here. If we use the gifts of nature prudently, there is nothing to harm us, and we have no fear of death if we live by God’s word. —Christopher Simon

Put some spring in your step with some new fresh flooring

Robert Lyons/Campbell Publications

Terry Wessel of Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries rips old carpet from a dining room at The 518 restaurant in early February.

By ROBERT LYONS Greene Prairie Press At some point in every floor’s life, no amount of steam cleaning or mopping will return it to its original glory. And with spring cleaning on many people’s minds, an otherwise tidy home can be brought down by stained, worn or outdated flooring. Spring is the perfect time to boost a home’s appearance and comfort with new floors, according to Matthew Capps of Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries. “Winter is hard on floors,” Capps said. “People are coming in with snow on their boots and salt. All of that stuff comes in and by spring time the carpet is looking pretty run down.” In addition to improving the livability of a residence, new floors can also increase salability down the road, as long as the floor choice isn’t too bold. “The interior decorators nowadays, they’re staying away from a lot of color in the floor,” Capps said. “They view the room as if it’s a painting and the floor’s the canvas. So, you start with a nice neutral canvas. Then you’re not

Extension hosting ‘Putting Small acres to Work’ seminar april 5 Putting a few extra acres to work can bring in additional income, provide an opportunity to experiment with a new enterprise, or develop an interest or hobby for its educational or entertainment value. Many people have questions about how to get started. To help answer these questions the University of Illinois Extension Unit 18 is sponsoring a workshop Saturday, April 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lincoln Land Community College in Litchfield. The seminar will focus on a variety of topics to help people who have a few acres learn ways that they can put them to use. The registration cost is $10 for student, $30 per person, $40 per couple, which includes lunch. Breakout out sessions include: “Value Added Products, Finding Your Niche,” “Getting the Most of Your Season with High Tunnels,” “Small Scale Poultry & Egg Production,” “Sheep and Goat Production,” “Savor the Flavor of Culinary Herbs,” “What to consider before starting: Business Planning,” “Growing, Harvesting, and Marketing Herbs,” “Small Fruit Production,” and “Organic Beef Production.” Anyone interested in participating is asked to contact Andrew Holsinger at the Hillsboro Extension office prior to April 3 by calling 217-532-3941, or emailing aholsing@illinois.edu, or they can register on-line at: web.extension.illinois.edu/cjmm/.

stuck with the same color scheme for the next 10 years.” Capps said the flooring industry has changed greatly over the years. The old days of linoleum that would begin to curl up are out and fiber floors, made out of fiberglass, are the future. “They’re thicker and softer and warmer,” Capps said. “And you don’t have to glue them down. If you ever decide to change your floor again, you don’t have to scrape it up and replace your subfloor.” Another advent in flooring offered at Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries helps the local economy in more ways than one. Mohawk’s SmartStrand – the Silk variety of which is one of the softest carpets available – uses corn as one of the primary materials in its manufacturing. “Instead of using petroleum to make the yarn, like they do with most carpet, they mix around 50 percent ethanol into it,” Capps said. “Mohawk likes to say ‘From the field to your floor.’ The farmers around here really like it.” Fresh, modern flooring can be had on almost any budget, Capps said. “I’ve got carpet here I can sell for $6.99 a square yard and it goes up from

there. The same thing with the hard surfaces,” Capps said, noting there are several financing options and frequent promotions offered at his family’s business. Carpet, hardwood, ceramic tile and vinyl flooring are all available at Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries. Capps said he keeps the best sellers in stock, and can offer a discounted rate on most in-stock flooring. Customers can save even more money by taking on the removal of their old flooring themselves. But, if the job is too big Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries has an expert team of installers to remove old carpeting and flooring before putting down the new flooring. The staff can take on commercial and residential jobs, alike. Jerseyville Carpet and Furniture Galleries – which got its start in the mid-1970s out of the Capps family garage in Kampsville – can help complete every room in the house with a wide selection of furniture, which spans throughout two buildings.

Carrollton Presbyterian Church unveils recent renovations By CaRmEN ENSiNGER Greene Prairie Press

Spring is always a good time to start anew and the Carrollton Presbyterian Church has been working towards this goal for more than a year with a complete remodel of the basement area, new paint job in the sanctuary and new pews for its members. It’s been a long process starting back in January of last year when the church started with renovations to the basement. Last summer a painting company from Edwardsville, who has painted several other churches in Carrollton, came in and gave a fresh new, bright look to the sanctuary. This past Sunday, members sat on the new pews for the first time. Members of the church could agree on one thing – it was way past due for a new paint job in the sanctuary. “We don’t know exactly how long it had been a dirty Pepto Bismol color inside because none of our members can remember it being anything but that color,” church member Tim Reif said. “Some of our oldest members put their heads together and they figured it had been at least 40 to 50 years since it was last painted.” Workers erected scaffolding from one end of the church to the other rising more than 20 foot in the air and spent the next three months creating a whole new look for the church. “It was almost as if they had raised the floor up to the ceiling because when I got up there, I

could stand up and touch the top of the ceiling,” Reif said. “They designed all the ceiling using the base pieces in the middle where the lights are because we wanted to keep that because it gave it the old cathedral look. So they kept that and kind of put a new twist on an old design.” Several other paint tricks were used to give added depth including highlighting the columns between the doors and the insets. A large lighted cross was also added. New wiring was installed in the attic at this time along with several new light fixtures to brighten up the sanctuary. Several of the older light fixtures, which gave the church its character, were polished and made to look almost like new. Even the huge pipe organ in the back of the sanctuary got a new paint job. Its pipes were painted to match the walls. Reif said according to the company who did the painting, churches usually repaint or remodel every 20 to 25 years. “If that’s the case, I think the church has gotten more than its money’s worth out of the last paint job,” Reif said. Built in the 1890s, the church was also long overdue for new pews. Rather than spend tens of thousands of dollars for new pews, which they couldn’t afford, members decided to search for some nice used ones. Howard Bushnell was in charge of the search. “The ones we ended up purchasing came out of a Catholic

Church in Mt. Olive which was remodeling,” Bushnell said. “The only problem was they were a little bit too long for our sanctuary. They were 15 foot long and pretty much closed up the aisle so we had to cut each one of them down to 12 foot 2 inches and then put the end caps back on. It was a lot of work, but we got it done.” The 25 benches were purchased for $50 each for a total of $1,250. Boot camp prisoners came and unloaded the semi truck which had transported the pews from Mt. Olive and brought them into the church, so all of the labor was donated. Next on the list is installing new carpeting, replacing the worn thin, stained pink carpeting in there now which clashes somewhat with the tan and brown walls and ceiling. After that, members hope to install a new sound system. “A new sound system is the next big thing on our list after the carpeting,” Reif said. “The old one is past reworking so we are going to work on getting some new equipment – maybe not brand new but it will still be new to us.” Reif said the congregation is looking forward to spending Easter Sunday in their newly renovated sanctuary. “We’ve waited for this day for quite some time,” he said. “But as with everything, you have to have the money to do the renovations, and for us it has been a step-by-step process, but we are getting there.”

Area seniors shine Lady Hawks stay unbeaten during all-star games HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Carrollton junior catcher Maddie Struble shows the umpire she's still got the softball after tagging an East AltonWood River runner for the final out in a 4-3 Lady Hawks victory Saturday at Wright Memorial Park. Struble and classmate Madison Mountain each finished 2-for-3 at the plate and combined for three runs batted in as Carrollton improved to 2-0. Struble and sophomore Ellie Sturgeon each hit triples, one of Mountain's hits was a double and junior Katelyn Dunlap added one RBI. Freshman Emmie Struble earned the win from the mound, pitching six innings while allowing three runs — none earned — off five hits with four strikeouts and three walks. The Lady Hawks continue their season by hosting Brown County at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. censinger@campbellpublications.net

(Above) North Greene's Reed Rusten throws down a dunk during the dunk contest at the 32nd annual WBBA/WJBM Senior All-Star Classic Saturday in White Hall. Rusten's South All-Stars squad — which included North Greene teammate Adam Knox, GreenfieldNorthwestern's Isaac Masters and Dakota Coffey and Carrollton Ethan's Frye — was edged by the North All-Stars team 129-87. Rusten was named the South All-Stars' Most Valuable Player after scoring 17 points in the game and he won the event's 3-point shooting contest, making 11 shots from long range. Masters (right) took the event's free-throw shooting title, making 11 shots from the line and then seven more in a shoot off. Rusten earned additional MVP and 3-point shooting honors — making 12 of 15 attempts — Sunday at the 12th annual Carlinville Rotary Club All-Star Basketball Classic Sunday at Carlinville High School. Rusten, Frye and Greenfield-NW's Patrick McWhorter and Jordan McMillen suited up for the West All-Stars squad, which was led by Greenfield-NW head coach Joe Pembrook and won a 130-107 decision. Rusten led all scorers with 23 points. Pembrook and Carrollton Lady Hawks coach Brian Madson were named the Carlinville Rotary Club's Boys and Girls Coach of the Year, respectively. censinger@campbellpublications.net

Who is responsible for repairs during a home sale?

Things to look for when dream home shopping A dream home means different things to different people. To some, an ideal home sits atop a hill and has enough rooms to accommodate generations upon generations of family members. To others, a home small in stature but with views to die for is all a homeowner needs. While preferences may vary on the home itself, there are a few things buyers of all shapes and sizes prefer when shopping for the home of their dreams. n Agreeable weather. Vacation home shoppers often prefer year-round warm weather so they know their respite from the cold is never too far away. For example, a locale such as Port St. Lucie, Florida boasts an average temperature of 73.7° F, providing the ideal getaway to snowbound men and women stuck in the throes of winter. n Affordability. A dream home stays a dream for many people because of the misconception that it is beyond their financial reach. "While a seaside villa in Italy might never be a reality, there are places where it is still affordable to own and maintain a WILL BE OPEN SUNDAY, MARCH 30TH FROM 1 TO 3 P.M.

109 BRADFORD PL., JERSEYVILLE (Directions: West County Rd to Hartcourt, right on Bradford Place) Great home in established West Point Subdivision.

vacation home," says Andrew Nadalin, President of Pace 2000 Inc. Compared to neighboring counties, St. Lucie County and Martin County represent the piece of South Florida that is still considered affordable. Endowed with the rich quality of life South Florida has to offer, both St. Lucie and Martin counties also offer and affordable costof-living vacationers will appreciate. n Accessibility of activities. When shopping for a place to buy or build your dream getaway, be sure there's plenty of accessibility to popular activities like boating, fishing, diving, surfing, canoeing, or kayaking. n Proximity to other hotspots. Even if you're looking for a place to simply unwind, a dream home's proximity to hotspots or other exotic locales never hurts. Port St. Lucie, for example, offers all a vacationer needs to relax and unwind, and it's only 90 miles from the Bahamas by boat and a short drive to Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando. More information on finding your dream home can be found online at www.pace2000homes.com.

contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise. The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn't assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bankowned home) are responsible for the repairs. Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold "as is" and may even specify that repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer's responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted. Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure,

there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent. com, a real estate marketing site. Such repairs include: n lender-required repairs that could impact home safety n leaky pipes n water penetration issues, including a bad roof n unsafe decking or handrails n wet basements or crawl spaces n insecure foundations or obvious structural damage n poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system It is always adviseable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate attorney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they'll be living in for the next several years.

will suggest this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made. A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the

Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home's repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer. There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated. Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents

Greene County final IDNR awards Illinois Biodiversity Field Trip multiplier announced Grants to schools Privately funded program to assist nearly 8,000 students in learning about Illinois’ natural heritage Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Director Marc Miller today announced the awarding of more than $96,000 in Illinois Biodiversity Field Trip Grants. The 103 grants to schools in 41 counties, made possible through private donations, will assist more than 7,700 students to visit Illinois state parks, museums and other natural resources sites to learn about nature and conservation. “This program allows students to visit locations throughout the state to see first-hand what they’ve been learning about in the classroom,” Miller said. “These grants help facilitate a whole new world for students, who may not otherwise have such an opportunity and they support the goal of leaving no child inside.” The entire $96,400.54 being awarded for 2014 was made possible by private donations to the Illinois Conservation Foundation. The Independence Tube Corporation of Chicago and the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Foundation of Skokie provided the funds. The Biodiversity Field Trip Grant Program has distributed more than $688,000 and reached more than 68,700 students since its inception in 2001. Grant recipients are located throughout Illinois and represent students from pre-kindergarten through

high school. The grant awards have been made to schools in the counties of Calhoun, Carroll, Champaign, Coles, Cook, DeKalb, Douglas, DuPage, Greene, Grundy, Jackson, Jersey, JoDaviess, Kane, Kankakee, Lake, Livingston, Logan, Macon, Macoupin, Madison, Marion, Massac, Mercer, McLean, Peoria, Piatt, Randolph, Rock Island, Saline, Sangamon, Shelby, St. Clair, Stephenson, Tazewell, Union, Vermilion, Washington,. Will, Williamson, and Winnebago. For a List of this year’s winners or to download an application for next year’s grants log on to the IDNR website at http:// dnr.state.il.us/education/CLASSRM/ grants.htm. The competitive grant program allows Illinois teachers to apply for funds to take students out of the classroom to learn about Illinois’ biodiversity. Learning activities must directly relate to the school’s curriculum and to the Illinois Learning Standards and Common Core/Next Generation Science Standards from the Illinois State Board of Education. The annual application deadline is January 31. Funding is administered by the Illinois Conservation Foundation and covers expenses such as the costs of transportation and substitute teachers. For more information about the Illinois Biodiversity Field Trip Grant Program, contact the IDNR Division of Education at dnr.teachkids@illinois. gov or (217) 524-4126.

Greene County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to Brian Hamer, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. The property assessment equalization factor, often called the "multiplier", is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state's 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts). If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result. Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third (1/3) of its market value. Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assess-

ing and equalization procedures, but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value. Farmland is not subject to the state equalization factor. Assessments in Greene County are at 33.19 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2013 taxes, payable in 2014. Last year's equalization factor for the county was 1.0000. The final assessment equalization factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued in September 2013 was 1.0000. The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor.

Illinois to receive federal specialty crop grant money The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) now is accepting proposals for federal specialty crop grants. The agency has been notified Illinois will receive a share of the funds and instructed to begin the proposal selection process. The exact amount of its award, however, has not been determined. “Expanding access to nutritious, homegrown Illinois food is one of the department’s top priorities,” Agriculture Director Bob Flider said. “If we could increase local

food purchases to just 10 percent of our grocery bill, it would generate more than 20 billion dollars in new economic activity every year, create thousands of jobs in the farming and food industries and revitalize both rural and urban communities.” The funds will come from the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program in the new Farm Bill. Most recently, Illinois has been receiving about $600,000 a year and using the funds to open new markets for fresh, Illinois-grown produce.
