The county board member and candidate for sheriff who found himself in hot water a couple weeks ago for making vulgar and homosexual slurs against a White Hall police officer after a routine traffic stop is once again in the hot seat. Felony charges were filed on March 3 in Greene County Circuit Court against Lucas A. Lamb alleging he had Unlawful Communication with a Juror. According to the allegations in court documents, Lamb “with the intent to influence a person whom

he knew had been selected as a juror, communicated by way of Facebook to that juror that he should nullify any verdict of guilt in that particular case and vote not guilty or ‘hang the jury if necessary.’” Charges were filed by Ed Parkinson, special prosecutor with the State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor’s office in Springfield. When contacted Tuesday afternoon, Lamb said he didn’t know anything about the charges. Later Tuesday afternoon, Lamb’s St. Louis-based attorney, Patrick Watts, released a statement calling the charges against his client “baseless and wholly uninves-

tigated,” claiming the charges are backlash for Lamb’s “advocacy for individual liberties.” Two jury trials were held in Greene County Circuit Court on Jan. 13 – the date court records state Lamb’s alleged offense occurred – and only one of which came back with a verdict (the other trial was a civil matter). Roberta Lockhart was found not guilty of Exceeding Speed in School Zone by a 12-0 vote. Lamb’s attorney asserts the unanimous decision illustrates his client did not influence the outcome, even though Lamb commented to the juror that the juror should hang the jury “if neces-

sary.” The lawyer claims Lamb’s comments were “clearly political speech, the highest category of protected speech.” Watts’ letter further states, “This case reeks of small town political retribution in an apparent attempt to remove Mr. Lamb from the ballot and retaliate for the prosecution’s failure to prove the simple elements of a speeding in a school zone case.” It was a speeding ticket which brought Lamb into the headlines last month. Lamb was issued a ticket by a White Hall police officer for going 11 miles over the speed limit. Lamb, himself, recorded the traffic stop.

Missing woman found alive A woman missing from rural Greene County was found unharmed. On Thursday evening, Feb. 27, at approximately 7:10 p.m. the Greene County Sheriff’s Department received a call from the husband of a 58-year-old female resident of rural Greene County, four miles west of Carrollton, who reported he had returned home from work and discovered that his wife was missing from the residence. According to a report from the Illinois State Police, who aided in the search using a plane equipped with a forward-looking infrared camera, the woman is suffering from the early stages of dementia. It was feared the woman had walked off from the rural residence and may have gotten lost in heavily wooded areas surrounding the residence. The sheriff’s department was dispatched to respond along with members of the Carrollton Fire Department and the fire department substations located in Eldred and Kane. Also, the sheriff’s department requested the Greene County Ambulance Service to send out an ambulance crew. “Emergency personnel arrived on the scene within minutes of the call, and after obtaining further information from the family of the missing woman, it was determined that more manpower and resources were needed to begin the search,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said. Carrollton Fire Chief Tim Thaxton assumed command of the search and rescue ground search operation plan for the missing woman and requested assistance from the White Hall, Greenfield and Rockbridge fire departments. The sheriff’s department requested assistance from the on-duty and off-duty officers of (See, missing woman, A2)

It’s been many, many years since Greenfield High School has put on a school play, but that will be changing this year as students are set to perform the musical, “I Love You Because,” with three performances scheduled for March 7-9 in the high school auditorium. Music teacher Jacob Bollman, who is in his second year with the district, said he has been involved with musical productions for most of his life. “I have performed in and been a part of plays and musicals since I was a little kid,” Bollman said. “I knew that when I became a teacher that I wanted to give students the opportunity to have many of the same experiences that I had.” Bollman said the only reason he didn’t put on a play last year was because he was still getting settled into the district. But that’s not to say he didn’t have it in mind for the future. “When I first mentioned last year that we were planning on putting on a show this year, the students were very excited,” he said. “They would not stop imagining and guessing what show we would be performing. Their enthusiasm confirmed and fueled my want to give them this opportunity.” “I Love You Because” is a modern day love story comedy set in New York City. The story focuses around a guy, Austin, and a girl, Marcy, who recently have been dumped by their exes. Through their best friends, Marcy and Austin get set up on a date and because they are opposites it does not go well. They end up hanging out because Marcy is trying to help Austin get back together with the girl who dumped him. Through this process, Austin starts to fall for Marcy, but

Marcy turns him down. No longer friends, Marcy realizes that she misses Austin and decides to try to win his heart. She succeeds and the show ends with them falling in love. Tyler Gruen and Shelby Bayless are set to play the lead roles of Austin and Marcy, while their best friends, Jeff and Diana, are played by Kyle Phillips and Kearsta Ornellas. Rounding out the cast are Nikki Bergschneider who plays the waitress, Hailey Phillips as the landlord and Sarah Bailey as the neighbor. Auditions for the production were held in December with rehearsals taking place when school resumed after winter break on Jan. 6. The school district is funding the play and expenses have been kept to a minimum. “Because the show is set in the modern day, many of the costumes used have come from the students themselves,” Bollman said. “Anything they did not have we have gone out and bought for them, but almost everything the cast members have supplied.” Same with the props. “Tracy Phillips, parent of some of the cast members, has supplied and/or built all of the props for the production,” Bollman said. “I cannot thank her enough for the contributions and time she has given to the show.” Show times are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Tickets are $2 for students and $5 for adults and can be purchased at the door, which will open 30 minutes before show time. “The kids could not be more excited about this musical,” Bollman added. “There are many things they love about the show but at the top of the list has to be the opportunity to perform the beautiful music and to tell a wonderful story to their friends and family.”

A Greenfield district employee is being hailed as a hero by her district after she saved the life of a first grader during the lunch period after he started choking on a chicken nugget. Missy Struif, guidance counselor for the district, said she just happened to be in the right place at the

right time. “I don’t normally do lunch duty for the kindergarten through second grades, but on this day I was asked by the principal if I could cover it,” Struif said. “About 10 minutes into the lunch period, the other teacher on duty started yelling for me.” The other teacher on duty in the lunch room was two tables over when she saw the young child obviously in distress. “She began yelling my name and I happened to be standing right behind the child as it was happening, but he had his back to me,” Struif said. “It’s funny because when I heard the panic in her voice as she was calling out my name, I just knew someone was choking.” By this time, the child had stood up and was grasping at his throat. “I yelled for someone to go get the nurse and then just gave him the Heimlich and up it came,” Struif said. “He was coughing pretty hard so I wasn’t sure if it was me or him that dislodged it.”

greenfield School Board Chairman Dr . howard Phillips presents guidance counselor missy Struif with a Certificate of recognition after Struif performed the heimlich maneuver on a first grade student who was choking in the cafeteria recently .

Struif said she first learned how to perform CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver while she was working as a nanny for a nanny service while in college. “At the time I was learning it, I was thinking to myself I would probably never in my lifetime have to actually perform it on someone,” Struif said. “All teachers are required to be certified every other year in both CPR and Heimlich, but you never really think you will one day be using it.” The child suffered no ill effects from the close call, but Struif said she couldn’t say the same about herself. “A few minutes after it happened, here I am still very emotional and scared over the ordeal, and the little boy raised his hand and asked if he could get seconds on the chicken nuggets,” Struif said. “I got a real kick C

out of that because he had already moved on with his day and I was still sitting there feeling quite panicked for quite awhile, just thinking about what could have happened.” Struif, who has children of her own, said younger children tend to choke more often. “These little ones – I think they have been in class all morning and they are having a good time talking to their friends and they just get hurried and choke,” she said. “There have been a couple of times with my own children when they start coughing while eating and I wonder if they are going to choke. Thankfully, that has never happened.” Greenfield Board of Education presented Struif with a Certificate of Recognition for her life-saving efforts in the cafeteria during their Feb. 25 board meeting.

Letters to the editor

has been the superintendent of the multi-county Regional Office of Education for many years. While his hard work and dedication to education largely goes unnoticed by the voting public, he has guided the ROE to do more with less year after year. Due to some Springfield political gamesmanship, Mr. Pfeiffer recently worked for five months not knowing when, or if, his next paycheck would come. When others around the state retired or found other employment, Larry stood the post as a committed public servant. He has implemented programs that help at-risk children achieve educational stability. Larry is committed to innovating and maintains active state and national associations. Enjoy March madness but take some time and head to the polls this month. If education is important to you, let’s return Larry Pfeiffer to the helm of the Regional Office of Education. MATT GOETTEN Carrollton, Ill.

Supports Pfeiffer for regional superintendent of schools TO THE EDITOR: I am a retired Regional Superintendent of Schools for Christian and Montgomery counties. For many years, I had the opportunity to observe and work alongside Regional Superintendent Larry Pfeiffer. Our relationship was always constructive and positive. Larry exhibited a high level of professionalism and worked with my office on many occasions to

improve educational programming and opportunities for the children, the taxpayers, and the school districts of his four-county region. I urge voters to nominate and re-elect Larry Pfeiffer as Regional Superintendent of Schools for Macoupin, Jersey, Greene and Calhoun counties. GREG SPRINGER Hillsboro, Ill.

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Greene County Health Department

Urging the public to vote in primaries TO THE EDITOR: The calendar flipped to March on Saturday. As a huge basketball fan, it means the madness can’t be far off. As a political observer, the Illinois primary is just weeks away. While the NCAA Tournament is always exciting I can’t always say the same about primary season. Too often voters, both Democrat and Republican, find little reason to head to the polls to help nominate their party’s candidates. This year Democrats in Greene and Jersey County may be inclined to stay home, there are very few contested races. I encourage you to resist that urge. It has never been easier to cast your vote with absentee, provisional, and early voting. In fact, I’ve already been to the polls. Under the uncontested race for county sheriff on your ballot you will find the contested race for Regional Superintendent of Schools. An afterthought to most, this contest is extremely important to the future of our schools. Larry Pfeiffer, the incumbent,

Missing woman “Some search crews had gone home for the night so they could get some rest, so they could arrive back at day break and relieve the crews who had stayed throughout the night,” McMillen said. “The search crews battled the cold temperatures and fatigue to do everything possible to locate the missing woman.” At approximately 11:38 p.m. a search crew made up of Carrollton firefighter Joel Rosentreter and volunteers Bob Schnelten, Matt Randolph and Lanis Camden had extended their search area, and this area put them into position to hear what they believed was a person calling out for help in a field located approximately threefourths of a mile southeast of the missing woman’s home. When they located the

person calling for help, they notified the command center that the woman had been found and that she was alive. The sheriff’s department used its fourwheel drive squad cars, and EMS responders utilized ATV type vehicles to travel through the plowed fields to locate the search crew and the missing woman. The woman was immediately placed in the squad car along with EMS personnel and transported to an ambulance that was waiting at a nearby farmhouse. The woman was transported to Boyd Memorial Hospital for treatment of hypothermia and exposure. “I would like to commend the firemen, police officers, EMS responders and the volunteers for their diligent work, which

changed the outcome of this incident from being a tragedy to being a successful rescue of a precious life,” McMillen said. “Chief Thaxton should also be commended for his leadership in organizing the ground search.” MotoMart in Carrollton supplied emergency crews with hot coffee to warm them up and a person brought out sandwiches to feed the crews. “This type of support allows emergency responders, when faced with extreme circumstances, to work longer,” McMillen said. “This is a true demonstration of how emergency responders can efficiently work together to accomplish their goals, no matter what situation they are faced with.”

it was apparent from the beginning that it was very important to locate her as soon as possible due to the extremely cold temperatures and windy conditions that were present, along with the fact that it was believed that the missing woman was not properly dressed for extended outdoor exposure.” Search crews were formed and a massive ground search was conducted by the emergency personnel and volunteers who were on the scene. Roodhouse Police Department and Illinois State Police K-9 units were also utilized to conduct ground searches. After more than four hours of searching the area, the search crews were not immediately able to locate the missing woman.

GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL | CLASS 1A STATE TOURNAMENT

Third state title just out of reach Thrilling postseason ends with runner-up finish at state tourney SAM eLLioTT Greene Prairie Press Carrollton's first trip to the girls basketball state tournament in 10 years produced a Class 1A runner-up trophy for the Lady Hawks. It's the second such trophy for the Carrollton girls basketball program, which also owns a pair of championships and has made eight total trips to the state's largest girls high school basketball stage. "Lady Hawks basketball has definitely had a lot of tradition," first-year head coach Brian Madson said. "To get them back [to the state tournament] means a lot to me. I'm very honored to be here with this group. I inherited 18 great girls. To get the school back to this position is a great feeling." ANNAWAN TAKES TITLE Nothing could keep the Annawan High School Bravettes on the way to their first state championship. Not even a Lady Hawks squad playing inspired basketball at the end of an emotional postseason run. Carrollton (25-7) kept the game close throughout the opening quarter, but Annawan's unrelenting defensive pressure took its toll on the Lady Hawks and the Bravettes (30-4) won a 59-23 decision in the Class 1A state championship game Saturday at Redbird Arena in Normal. "They’re a great team," Madson said. "They deserved it, but we had a heck of a season. A lot of people kind of wrote us off, so I’m very fortunate, very blessed and very honored to be in this position with these girls. Second place is pretty darn good. I’m still excited for the girls." Annawan, which never won by fewer than 19 points this postseason, pulled away in the second quarter to lead 30-12 at halftime. The Bravettes forced Carrollton into 33 total turnovers, including 21 in the first half. "We knew coming in that it was probably by far the toughest defense we’ve seen," Madson said. "It’s hard to prepare for that intensity. We’ve got a good [junior varsity] group that does a great job preparing us every game, but that caliber of a team is hard to prepare for." Junior Rachel Williams led the Lady Hawks with nine points and as many rebounds. Annawan was paced by Celina VanHyfte's game-high 19 points and 13 rebounds, Cierra Davis' 17 points and 12 rebounds and Megan Foes' 11 points. VanHyfte finished the season an unanimous Associated Press Class 1A first-team all-state selection and an Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 1A and 2A all-state first-teamer. CARROLLTON CLIPS CENTRAL A&M McKenzie Ruyle missed her first five free throws of the game — and eight of her nine tries in the team's super-sectional win four days prior — but the Carrollton junior made two out of four attempts inside the final 40.2 seconds to give the Lady Hawks a 40-38 win against Moweaqua Central A&M in the teams' Class 1A state semifinal Friday at Redbird Arena. "I was nervous," Ruyle said. "It was nerve wracking, but I knew I had to do it to help my teammates get to the state championship game. We’ve worked so hard for it and I didn’t want it to end right there for us all." More than 23 seconds remained following Ruyle's second free throw, but the Lady Raiders' final 3-pointer just before the final buzzer missed its mark to secure Carrollton a spot in the state championship game. Central A&M (27-7), which went on to place fourth behind Lanark Eastland (29-6), kept the Lady Hawks scoreless for nearly four minutes to begin the game and took an early lead as large as nine points. "We were down nine, but deep down I wasn’t nervous," Madson said. "Maybe that comes off as arrogance, but that’s just my style. I know my girls are fighters, so at no point in time was I nervous or scared or anything." (See LADY HAWKS, B2)

Greenfield-Northwestern's isaac Masters drives against North Greene defenders Connor Vincent and Kolten Heberling Friday at Routt Catholic High School. Masters scored a game-high 24 points, but the tigers were edged 50-49 to end their 2013-14 season with a schoolrecord 24 wins and just four losses.

SAM elliott Greene Prairie Press Two made free throws by Adam Knox with 5.4 seconds remaining gave the North Greene High School boys basketball team a 50-49 win against Greenfield-Northwestern — and the Spartans' first regional championship since the 2007-08 season — Friday at Routt Catholic High School in Jacksonville. "He was outstanding. He went and showed why he's the captain of our team," North Greene head coach Brett Berry said. "He put the team on his shoulders and did exactly what he needed to do at the right time." Greenfield-Northwestern senior Isaac Masters had made two free throws just 5.4 seconds earlier to give the Tigers a late 49-48 lead. After Knox's free throws, Berry knew whom Greenfield-NW's lastsecond offense would run through. "We knew Masters was going to get the ball. We doubled him and pushed him to the sidelines so he’d have a really difficult shot," the coach said. "Then it was just a scramble underneath the basket." After Masters missed, Patrick McWhorter got a shot off that also missed the mark. Austin Plogger grabbed the ensuing rebound and put the ball through the hoop — but the final buzzer had already sounded. North Greene kept the game close through the first quarter, but faced a 32-23 deficit at halftime. "I thought we came out a little bit amped up, but didn’t really execute defensively like we wanted to in the first half," Berry said. "We gave them a lot of second-chance opportunities, didn’t rebound the ball well and didn’t defend nearly as well as we wanted to." The Spartans' halftime adjustments helped them erase that nine-point deficit in the third quarter and the teams were tied 41-41 entering the final frame. Knox, classmate Reed Rusten and junior Connor Vincent each finished with 12 points for North Greene. Knox finished with 5-of7 shooting from the field, Rusten added six rebounds and Vincent scored all 12 of his points in the fourth quarter — including two key 3-pointers in the third quarter. "He became a little bit more aggressive offensively," Berry said of Vincent. "He took some tougher shots and was able to knock them down and that kind of gave him a little confidence. He was able to stretch the defense real well with that outside shot of his. After knocking one or two of those down, it kind of got things rolling." Masters led Greenfield-NW and all scorers with 24 points and Plogger added 13 for the Tigers, who finished the season with a

school-record 24 wins and lost just four games.

"[Springfield Lutheran is] a big, athletic team that’s strong and quick," Berry said. "We’re going to have to go out there and keep doing what we do well and keep working hard and go right at them. We won’t back off." Wednesday's winner plays Waterloo Gibault Catholic in the sectional title game at 7 p.m. Friday in Okawville.

HAWKS EDGED BY CALHOUN The Carrollton High School boys basketball team was eliminated in the semifinals of the Bunker Hill Class 1A Regional after rival Calhoun won a 53-50 decision Wednesday, Feb. 26, at Bunker Hill High School. The Hawks led by as many as 11 points in the first quarter — during which they forced nine of Calhoun's 13 total turnovers. The Warriors cut their deficit to 27-26 at halftime, but took the lead for good on a jump shot by Andrew Sievers with 1:01 to play in the fourth quarter. "I thought we backed off a little bit and our intensity wasn’t the same," Carrollton head coach Jeff Krumwiede said. "We did not put this game at the level of preparation mentally and physically that we needed to. There are distractions that have a part of it, but mostly we just didn’t play well." Junior Cody Leonard got the Hawks to within one point of Calhoun with 9.6 seconds remaining, but — after one more Warriors free throw — Carrollton's game-tying attempt from 3-point range at the buzzer was off the mark. "We just didn't play up to our level," Krumwiede said. "I give Calhoun all the credit for that. They're a very well coached team. They took away some of the things we had success with in the first two times we played." Leonard finished with 19 points, including 9-of-9 free-throw shooting and 10 rebounds. Classmates Jacob Smith and Luke Palan added 13 and eight points, respectively. The Hawks, undefeated champions of the Western Illinois Valley Conference this season, ended their 2013-14 campaign with a 24-6 record. selliott@campbellpublications.net

LADY HAWKS: Two earn all-state honors (Continued from B1)

Carrollton cut its deficit to 22-18 by halftime and Williams gave the Lady Hawks their first lead of the day on a basket from inside the lane that made it a 27-25 game with 3:06 to play in the third quarter. Williams, who battled foul trouble throughout the contest, was charged with her fourth during Central A&M's next possession. Already without senior Patsy Coonrod — lost for the supersectional and state tournament following a neck injury sustained in an automobile accident — Carrollton freshmen Emily Struble and Hannah Robinson were called upon for meaningful minutes. "Those girls stepped up huge," Madson said. "Emily was the next girl in to fill Patsy's shoes. Those are big shoes to fill, but Emily's done a

nice job. She provides a spark for us." Carrollton's lead was 32-31 entering the fourth quarter. After Central A&M began the final frame on a 4-1 run to take the lead back, the Lady Hawks never trailed again after Madison Mountain banked in a 3-pointer with 3:49 remaining. Central A&M drew even at 38-38 on two free throws with 43.7 seconds to play, but Ruyle hit the first of her two game-winners on Carrollton's following possession. She finished with two points. Junior Maddie Struble led the Lady Hawks with 19 points and 17 rebounds. Mountain added 12 points with eight rebounds and Williams was next for Carrollton with six points in the team's 25th and final victory of the season.

"These girls deserve all the credit. This whole season has been a roller coaster for myself, but I’m very proud of what these girls have been able to accomplish this season," Madson said. "We wouldn’t be here without them. I’m very proud of getting here and I’m very proud of our efforts [Friday] — especially in the second half." The Lady Hawks will be honored and recognized during a celebration rally at 4 p.m. Sunday at Carrollton High School. COONROD, WILLIAMS EARN ALL-STATE HONORS Coonrod wasn't able to compete at the state tournament, but she and Williams were among those to earn all-state honors Friday and Saturday. Williams, who averaged 11.6

points and six rebounds per game, was an Associated Press Class 1A all-state honorable mention selection and earned Class 1A and 2A all-state special mention honors from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association. Coonrod averaged 11.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game her senior season and was an IBCA all-state fourth-team selection. "That’s awesome," Madson said. "Being their coach I guess I’m a little biased and I think they probably deserved a little higher, but we've had a heck of a season and those two especially had awesome years. It's great they were honored in this way. It's a good way to send off Patsy." selliott@campbellpublications.net

THANK YOU* *We really appreciate the recognition by U.S.News & World Report that ranks us among Tier 1 National Universities. We share this recognition across the university, with every department and each program. It’s reflected in the research our faculty spearhead, the patents we earn, and the awards our students win. We don’t do any of these things for the accolades. We do them because we think there’s no such thing as too ambitious.

I am against thee and I will make thee most desolate. I will lay the cities waste

and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel. Your cities shall not return and ye shall know that I am the Lord,. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me. As thou didst rejoice at the house of Israel when it was desolate, so will I do unto thee, thou shall be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Cold it is cold. Right now it is 4 below and the sun is shining and about two inches of snow last night, but who can stand the cold. No church here and a lot of others did not have church either. Yesterday was the second day of March and a lot of good people had birthdays this month. Richard Stone, Gene Ridenbark and Head Man of Walkerville. He was 80 years old and the boys say that he can work circles around them when it comes to picking up, putting up and cleaning up. He hates trash and he is always cleaning up the area. He loves to be out there cleaning up and just being out there. Does real good for 80. Had a real good celebration on Thursday - dinner out. Friday his son and his wife and his two sisters took him out for dinner at Cookies, which was really delicious and we all had a good time. Two birthday cakes, boxes of candy, fruit, jelly and many cards and phone calls made him glad he had a birthday. Robert you will make it to 90, keep cleaning up Walkerville. We missed fellowship at church. The question for the week is in Daniel. Who was thrown in the Lion’s den, why and what happened?

This winter has taken its toll on all of us. As you live your life, remember that it’s not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kink of life you have lived. Today is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you will ever be, so enjoy this day while it lasts. The Lord will give grace and glory, no good thing will he withheld from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84: 11 the journey to God starts with one small step at a time. After that its one step at a time. He doesn’t expect us to run the mile, but he promises to give us strength to live each day for him. Pray for our church and be in church Sunday, weather permitting and the Lord willing, see you at Walkerville Church Sunday.

GREENFIELD NEWS By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Mrs. George Knisley of Greenfield did have a millpond and a workable mill. It was located behind E.K. and Grace Metcalf’s home and the home of J.P. Roodhouse. It was owned and operated by the Hick brothers. They were married men and had families. One man died early in his life. Besides a wife, he left a daughter, Ramona who taught fourth grade tom, Dale, Elmer, Rosalee, Elizabeth Knisley, Bruce Haven and hundreds of others. Her home is now owned by the McEvers on the corner of Prairie and Mulberry Streets. When the mill was no longer in operation, a son of the other Hick operation became janitor of the high school (GCHS). His name was Ernest to the teachers, “Cap” Hick to many students. He lived north of Fillagher Clinic across from Betty Chinowith. I believe that Buddy and Mary Dalton and son live there. The millpond became dangerous and an eyesore, so it was filled up with earth. In the 1930’s a man by the name of Dawson did welding and blacksmith work. His location was on College Street behind ShieldsBishop Funeral Home. He used a steam engine. His great-niece June Burkhart was one of my GCHS friends. Go visit Bruce Haven; he can tell you some interesting stories. The last time I was able to attend Ash Wednesday Lenten services, my friend Fernanda Morrow took me in her car to the Methodist Church. Shirley Young (d) sat with us. Would you care to have a Lenten food recipe to chase away the “winter blahs”? You will need one can of tuna, chicken, pork or beef, chop one stalk celery, one ring of green pepper, one boiled egg, and your choice of pickles. Mix with a dab of mustard or mayonnaise. Serve on a bed of lettuce on a crystal salad plate. Lime yogurt or lime Jell-O with Ritz crackers, makes a good dessert. News from Mildred Fergurson Witt’s Bible. She, her husband, Bill and son Gregg (3) were living on Walnut Street in a home owned by Lucy Sample and Doll Duncan. To the east of them Margaret Fitzsimmons resided. Each afternoon, Miss Fitzsimmons tapped on the window. It was her signal for Gregg to visit her for a cookie and their chat. Mildred helped Gregg with his snowsuit. Gregg walked on a rotten wooden well platform. The well was filled with water - he fell into the well. A neighbor, Richard Wilhite (d) saw this and retrieved the little boy, who was not injured. Bill and Milly bought a home on South College where she still lives. Pam was reared there. Bill went to the home God prepared for him in Heaven. Mildred, like most of us, intends to live on College Street until God takes her to join Bill, family and friends.

Card of Thanks THANK yoU I want to thank everyone that called or sent cards while I was in the hospital and emergency room recently. Thanks to my children and a special thanks to my husband for being such a wonderful caregiver for the past two months. We have a loving Lord. Florence Mehrhoff

Hearts and Minds “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.” Jeremiah 31:33

good heart is vastly superior to a powerful intellect, since a powerful intellect wedded to an evil or callous heart is sure to cause lots of suffering. It would be best to have a good heart wedded to a powerful intellect, but what matters in most cases is the disposition of one's heart, i.e., whether one is inclined to help one’s fellows. What usually inclines us to help our fellow creatures and to alleviate their suffering is empathy, and its ability to help us to feel, or at least imagine, what our fellow creatures might be experiencing. But, there are times when empathy can lead us astray and

we need our intellect to help us in determining what we ought to do. Most of us are more moved to action by the plight of some individual we can identify with, the guy on the side of the road trying to change his tire, or the single mother trying to raise money to pay for her sick child’s medical care. But, when it comes to helping people halfway around the world, refugees from Syria or starving people in Africa, our empathy often fails to be engaged, and there we may need to appeal to reason. God gave us hearts and minds, and we should use them both. – Christopher Simon

Marge Hankins is grateful she can still drive to Meehan’s for food, to the drug store for scripts. Penny Roberts had been to see her. Brother Garrett is in Jerseyville. Sister Mary took food from Godfrey (her home). Garrett said that weather conditions were too bad for him to go out. My application to vote has been mailed to the courthouse; also my Tier I and Tier II from the United States Railroad Retirement Board to my attorney, Charles Theivagt. Gary and Elizabeth McCollom went to Boonesville, Ind. to attend funeral services of their brother-inlaw, Victor Lohr; Lilas McCollom Lohr and husband lived in this area many years ago. Summers and holidays they camped at the City Lake. Beverly McCollom Still and Linda McCollom Pohlman are sister of Lilas and sisters-in-law of Victor Lohr. Our sympathy is extended. The last time I saw Betty Seaton she had a smile on her face and was in the waiting room of Dr. Turpin’s clinic. When I was in Barton Stone Nursing Home for therapy, Betty suggested that a daughter-in-law (who worked in a different wing) come to see me. Bob and Wanda Klunk of Carrollton were Thursday luncheon guests of Beverly McCollom Still. Over the telephone, Bruce Haven said to me, “Mary, I have some news for your column. Mildred Tuey is moving to Springfield to be with her sister. She has sold her home to Carol Mann Jones’ daughter. She has been so good to me - driving me to doctors, hospitals, etc. Barbie Fry has moved to Chatham. She comes once a month and writes my checks. Every day I have Meehan’s deli bring my food.” There’s an old saying, what goes around come around - it is moving too slow for Bruce. Perhaps one of you readers would care to earn some pocket change and assist Bruce. Hic phone is unlisted. Betty Geir Clifford is now in assisted living. Being a friend since GCHS days, Bruce and Betty visit via telephone. Rodney Roth is probably back at work in Springfield after spending the winter vacation at his Sun City, Ariz. home.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Carrollton looks at future of technology By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press Technology is continually changing and school districts must adapt to these changes as best they can. Carrollton School Board members received a technology update from Tech Director Andy Thomas at the Feb. 25 board meeting. Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox said the District Tech Team visited two schools in Sangamon County that are utilizing different one-to-one programs which provided insight into different options to technology hardware updates that will be needed in the near future. “We are nearing a critical point with our current tech hardware as the majority of our classroom computers utilize the Windows XP system which is eliminating all updates and services on April 7,” Dr. Cox said. “Most of these computers were purchased five years ago with E2T2 grant funds so they are aging, as well.” Thomas reported he had met with all high school classes regarding the use of Google apps and procedures for Bring Your Own Technology. “It is working very well at the high school with our new wireless system,” Thomas said. “Data is being gathered regarding our current hardware system to review with the Finance Committee in the near future.” The RevTrak system is up and running for families to use to make on-line meal payments for their students. So far, 19 transactions have occurred in the short time that it has been operating. The system provides

families with the convenience of online fee payments to the schools. “This system is being initiated for meal payments only with potential expansion to many other types of school fees such as registration costs, fundraising activities, etc., during the following school year,” Dr. Cox said. Authorization to seek bus bids was approved by the board. The finance committee will be meeting with vendors this week to review options for updating the current fleet. The district will be able to reduce its fleet along with trading in eight older buses. “We need to review leasing options for five large buses and purchasing options for one small bus,” Dr. Cox said. “The last new bus for the district was purchased approximately five years ago. Decreased funding and reimbursement from the state has forced us to delay updating our fleet for several years. The cost of maintaining and repairing our aging fleet is no longer a fiscally responsible option.” Digital Media and Web Design will be offered as a new business course for the 2014-15 school year. High School Principal Leslee Frazier and business teacher Brand Stewart proposed the course, which was then approved by the board. “The skill level course is designed to prepare students to plan, design, create and maintain web pages and sites,” Stewart said. “Digital media elements will be used to enhance the web pages created by the students.” Stewart said the potential job opportunities utilizing these skills and potential certification or degree fields are increasing at a faster rate

than other career fields. This yearlong course will have dual credit opportunities with Lewis and Clark Community College, as well. Dr. Cox shared information regarding the New Illinois Learning Standards and the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) that will be field tested in the district this spring. PARCC will replace ISAT in 2014-15. “The New Illinois Standards are based on the Common Core State Standards, have higher expectations, a clearer focus, are more relevant to the real world, contain fewer topics and emphasize problem-solving and critical thinking as well as procedural skills,” Dr. Cox said. PARCC will be utilized to measure student achievement with the new Illinois Learning Standards. Dr. Cox and Thomas showed sample questions from the PARCC which demonstrated additional rigor and technology integration involved with the assessments. Several classes will be participating in the PARCC field test this spring. The Illinois State Board of Education has approved one “Act of God” day for the district. School was cancelled on Friday, Feb. 28, due to the high school girls team advancement to the State Finals in Bloomington. Dr. Cox said as the team played at 12:15 on Friday, the district would not be able to provide enough substitutes to staff the buildings. “It is important that staff members have the opportunity to support their children and our team for their accomplishment,” Dr. Cox said. “This factor, coupled with the

predicted low student attendance at school on this date, would not be beneficial for instruction nor would it be financially sound.” The student attendance day will be made up on Tuesday, March 25 – a date which was originally scheduled for spring break. Spring break is scheduled for March 21-24. Seven students have been named as 2014 Illinois State Scholars, which is a significant achievement for the students. They are: Connor Goetten, Kyle Kesinger, Colton Miller, Dalton Sharrow, Luke Tepen and Zachary Tepen. In other action, the board: n Approved Amanda Alvey and Laura Stewart as volunteer assistant track coaches for this season. n Approved Shane Carter and Kenny Sturgeon as volunteer assistant softball coaches. n Approval of Mary Kash as the District Library Media Specialist for the coming year. n Accepted the resignation of Ethel Anderson as a district bus driver at the end of this school year. She has worked in the district for 19 years and her dedication to the district was noted as board members applauded her service to the students of the district over the years. n Accepted the resignation of Jean Ann Garber as a district bus driver at the conclusion of this school year. She has been with the district for 26 years and she was also honored for her dedication and service. n Approved a letter of intent to retire and subsequent retirement bonus to Bonnie Schell, who plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2016-17 school year.

greenfield district guidance counselor provides much more than just guidance By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press When she’s not busy saving students from choking in the lunch room, (see A1 story) Melissa Struif acts as the Greenfield District Guidance Counselor at both the high school and grade school. At the rescheduled Feb. 25 school board member, Struif reported to the board on her duties in this position. “She teaches classes on anti-bullying, how to manage emotions, drug awareness, abstinence and social skills,” Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “She counsels 20 students on a weekly basis, coordinates all high school testing and scheduling of classes, coaches students in career paths and coordinates scholarship applications, also.” Struif also passed a bit of good news regarding a former student. She showed a video from Lewis and Clark Community College featuring 2013 graduate, Logan Walker, who received the Jordan Klope scholarship from Lewis and Clark. The March meeting of the school board has been changed from Monday, March 17, to Tuesday,

March 18, because the high school plans on having its annual winter sports banquet on March 17. Two of the district’s snow days have been approved as “Act of God” days. Board President Howard Phillips reported the staff of the high school did an outstanding job of hosting the Regional Office of Education Superintendent’s meeting on Feb. 13. He also attended a meeting of the Civics Education Task Force on Feb. 21 where Jim Ryan was the speaker. The Young Author’s Ceremony was held on Feb. 24 and Dr. Phillips commended the Greenfield staff for encouraging the district’s students in their writing skills. The winners of the Young Author’s competition advanced to the Regional competition in Jacksonville. Superintendent Bowman reported that the ROE found no safety violations during the Nov. 20 inspection. For this he congratulated Sam Walden, Vic Trout and the custodial staff on their dedication to the district in preparing every building for this annual inspection. Maintenance Supervisor Sam Walden reported no issues when he

gave his transportation report to the board. Under the facilities report, the high school gym thermostats need replaced and the high school radiators continue to have problems. Walden reported the district has been awarded a $25,000 Maintenance Grant and that a second round of applications is available for which the board gave approval to apply for. Superintendent Bowman requested approval from the board to post for a full-time maintenance director and he was given such. He also reported Frontier Communications will be meeting with the district soon to finalize pricing on fiber optic upgrades throughout the district. Board member Elliott Turpin gave a report on the Greenfield Foundation for Educational Excellence, which is holding its annual pork chop dinner on March 16 at St. Michael’s Hall. Tickets are available from committee members and students. Turpin also thanked a district second grade class for their thank you notes for the field trip the GFEE sponsored.

ISP prepare to issue first round of approved Concealed Carry Licenses

Chiefs of Police Executive Director John Kennedy, and Concealed Carry License Review Board (CCLRB) Chair Robinzina Bryant. Officials provided the first glimpse of the actual license, which is approximately three by two inches and is centered with an ISP security hologram. Each Concealed Carry License application requires the applicant to possess a valid Firearms Owner’s Identification card (FOID), or to apply for a FOID in conjunction with the CCL, to begin the application process. Background checks are simultaneously conducted by State Police while local law enforcement agencies review the applications for objections. Once objections are compiled,

the CCLRB has 30 days to review the information regarding any application that has not been statutorily denied by the ISP. If the ISP determines there is a statutory reason to deny or the CCLRB determines that the applicant poses a danger to him/herself or threat to public safety, State Police must notify the applicant in writing of the denial. All final administrative decisions are subject to judicial review under the provisions of the Administrative Review law. Since the process began, State Police have received more than 50,000 applications and objected to

more than 800. To date, no objection has been appealed. “Our diverse investigative, legal, and mental health experience provides this important process and applicants with a fair path to obtaining a concealed carry license,” CCLRB Chair Robinzina Bryant said. “The board will use every resource and necessary time extension to ensure that the reviews have been conducted fairly and thoroughly.” Visit the State Police Concealed Carry website http://www.isp.state. il.us/ for the latest updates on the Illinois Concealed Carry program.

Illinois State Police recently announced that 5,000 Concealed Carry License (CCL) applications have been approved and are ready to be printed and mailed. The department will begin mailing the licenses and will continue to issue licenses as they are approved. Concealed Carry Licenses will be printed and mailed on a daily basis. “This collaborative process offers the multiple layers of scrutiny envisioned by the legislature, and we believe that the law enforcement objections provide for enhanced public safety,” State Police Colonel Marc Maton said.
