arents and grandparents are struggling to come up with ideas to keep kids busy with school being closed due to COVID-19, but at the same time they are also looking for ways to let children express their feelings about what is going on in this world right now.

Many homes are displaying hearts and bears in windows for children to spot while on walks, bike rides or car rides, but before the emergence of this trend, there was the trend of turning windows and doors into stained glass art using painters tape and craft paint.

Robin Weller of Greenfield decided to let her grandchildren do the project before the stay-at-home order was issued. While the project kept them entertained, it also gave Weller an insight into how this situation is weighing on the minds of young children.

Weller learned about the project from her friend, Bonnie Vahle, who had seen something similar being done in Jacksonville where she works. “I was watching two of my grandchildren, Corbin, age 8, and Sloane, who is 4, who are cousins, and I thought this would be a good project for them to do,� Weller said. “I never dreamed what would come out of the project when it was finished.�

You see, many of Corbin and Sloane’s immediate family are what are considered “essential workers.� Both of their fathers are in law enforcement, and many other family members work in the healthcare field.

Corbin’s dad, Chris, works for the

Greene County Sheriff’s Department and Sloan’s dad, Bobby, works for the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.

Two of their grandmothers are nurses and work at Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville, and another works in a pharmacy. “They have so many family members that work in such high risk professions, and given the fact that there is a cross in the center of the window, I asked them if they would like to pray for those family members-- that they stay safe during all of this,� Weller said.

They started naming off some people they would like to pray for, and then something totally unexpected happened. “While they were naming off people they wanted to pray for, Corbin looked over at Sloane and said, ‘You know Sloane – we need to pray for everybody in this world – just everybody’,� Weller said. “Boy, that really hit home for me.�

What started out as just an art project turned into an eye-opening lesson for Weller. “I just sat back and listened to them talk,� she said. “I learned a lot – like the fact that this situation is not only affecting the adults, but also the children. A lot of children are worried, and I’m sure many parents don’t even realize it.�

Weller hopes other parents and grandparents use the project to give children the opportunity to share their fears and concerns over the COVID-19 virus. “There are a lot of children who have parents who have to go out in this every day,� Weller said. “Overnight, their world has changed – they can’t go see their friends, they can’t go to school and I’m sure they have ques(See, ART, A2)

Schools to receive funding from Coronavirus Stimulus Bill

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Schools throughout the State of Illinois will benefit from the economic stimulus package President Donald Trump signed into law on March 26.

All in all, the stimulus bill provides $13.5 billion to schools throughout the nation to be used for meal programs, remote learning infrastructure, technology purchases, mental health program and counseling for students along with sanitation and deep clean-

ing as well as summer programs to help address any learning gaps.

This money will be distributed to each individual school district by the states. Illinois is expected to get $569.5 million in funding to be used in response to COVID-19.

The amount each district received is based on the number of low-income students in the district. The money will increase by 75 percent of the amount of funding districts receive in Title 1 monies.

The money can be used for any

school within the district, however public school districts must allocate some of their share to students and teacher in private and charter schools.

In Greene County, North Greene School District will receive the lion’s share of funding with $345,029 in additional funding coming to the district. Carrollton will receive $104,517; and Greenfield, $74,262.

Funding in other counties includes: Jersey, $469,591; Calhoun, $89,819; Winchester, $81,183; Bluffs, $63,649; and Pikeland, $367,430.

Per the guidelines of the stimulus bill, Illinois will distribute 90 percent of the funds to individual districts with the remaining 10 percent to be spent at the state school board’s discretion.

Illinois State Board of Education State Superintendent Carmen Ayala said she was not sure when the money would be made available to district but she would apply for the funds as soon as the application is available, which should be before the end of April.

Dairy Bar shutters Carrollton School District windows amid virus limits meal delivery days

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Sunday, April 5, was the last day of business for Carrollton’s oldest restaurant, the Dairy Bar, as COVID-19 moves closer and closer to Greene County.

Owners Ken and Shaana Gray said once the virus hit Jersey County, they made the hard decision to cease operation until the worst is over. “Hearing about cases getting closer to home, we just felt like we were not essential enough to take a chance that one of our employees or our customers might get sick,�

Shaana Gray said. “If one of my employees were to get

sick and become ill, even if they didn’t get it from working there, I would always wonder if they did, and I would never be able to forgive myself.�

With that being said, Gray said it was still a hard decision to make. “It was a really hard decision for us because I know a lot of people have told me and my husband that coming up here was the only thing keeping them happy,� Shaana said. “Just being able to come up here with their kids after a grueling day of homeschooling, or being able to get lunch on their lunch hour was something they looked forward to.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton School District has announced that beginning next week, April 14, they will be limiting the amount of days lunches are delivered to students to two days per week. However, they will still continue to serve students enough food to have breakfast and lunch five days per week. “We are doing this to limit the contact between our employees who are making the meals and our bus drivers who are delivering the meals, along with the parents who are picking up the meals,� Superintendent Mark Halwachs said. “There have been some employees in other districts who have gotten sick, and we want to do everything we can to keep our employees safe.�

No meals will be delivered on Good Friday, April 10 or on Monday, April 13 for Easter Monday.

Beginning on Tuesday, April 14, the meals will be delivered two times per week but will contain enough meals for the week.

Delivery days will be Tuesday, April 14, which will contain meals for Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday, April 16, which will contain meals for Thursday and Friday.

Things you should know about Hydroxychloroquine Community plans Easter in the Park r e n n Ridge Ru

By BILL HOAGLAND Several weeks ago, a 60-year-old man and his wife in Arizona took some fish tank cleaner because it contained chloroquine phosphate and they thought, erroneously, that it would protect them from contracting COVID-19.

They apparently mistook chloroquine phosphate for hydroxychloroquine, an antiviral drug being touted as a possible remedy for COVID19. Within 30 minutes after ingesting the drug, they both became seriously ill and had to be hospitalized. The man died in the hospital and his wife managed to survive but not without complications.

Obviously, chloroquine phosphate is not the drug that has been promoted lately as a remedy for COVID-19, so maybe we need to eliminate some confusion here.

In other words, what do we non-medical types need to know about hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, the two drugs that recently have been promoted as potential antiviral drugs?

Here is what I have been able to learn from a brief review of various medical and scientific websites, such as www.livescience.com and www.thelancet.com.

Both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have been

on the market for about sixty years and they both have been routinely used for certain forms of malaria and for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Hydroxychloroquine is marketed under the brand name “Plaquenil”; chloroquine is marketed under the brand name “Aralen Phosphate.” Chloroquine is regarded as the stronger of the two medicines and because the side effects are more pronounced with chloroquine, it has not been the medicine of choice for the treatment of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

That is not to say that hydroxychloroquine is necessarily safe to take as an antiviral drug to counteract COVID-19. It should only be taken after consulting with your physician and getting a prescription. This is because the side effects could be serious enough to make your condition worse, not better.

The immediate potential side effects of hydroxychloroquine include vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and various forms of allergic reactions. There are also long term effects for those using it over a period of years, including retinopathy (eye damage), liver damage and muscular toxicity, to name several of the more common side effects resulting from

C H R O N IC L E S

long term use.

Those with heart issues or diabetes are particularly at risk using this medication.

It has been reported that hydroxychloroquine has been used successfully in China and Italy to treat patients who already have the virus; unfortunately, we do not have sufficient medical data relating to those treatments as of yet to determine its effectiveness in this situation.

In the meantime, clinical tests have been started in New York and elsewhere in the US regarding patients who are infected and are already being treated. In addition, tests are just now getting started in Seattle and New York to determine to what extent hydroxychloroquine might act as a preventive medication for persons who may have been exposed, but who as yet are not symptomatic. (If you are interested in following up on this issue, read the discussion

by Rachael Rittner at www.

livescience.com regarding these new tests.)

Hydroxychloroquine does not kill the COVID 19 virus that has already infected the body. Rather, it has the effect of blocking or disrupting the virus from entering additional cells within our bodies and reproducing within those cells. (For a good discussion of this process, I refer you to Sai Balasubramanian at www.forbes.com.)

Let’s hope this works but it will take time to sort it out.

In the meantime, don’t be taking any fish tank cleaner.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Turkey season offers escape from COVID-19 stresses As everyone in the world knows, we’re right in the middle of a pandemic.

Many people are falling sick, and some are dying.

What is not killing us virally is killing us economically.

I hurt for small business, churches and every worker.

What comes to mind for me, are the situations I heard about concerning the Great Depression.

I pray this time is different.

But even though it will be different and even though we will make it through, everything will change. We will change how we do business, church, and our own personal lives. And we will find out what we can really do without.

In the middle of this catastrophe, turkey season opened in my home state. It felt different.

It felt good. It felt like something I could run to and enjoy while making sure I was social distancing. And since we are quarantined, I plan on spending several hours a week matching wit with the toms who have no idea our world is upside down.

What I’m taken back to right now is the simplicity of life as it is lived away from most manmade constructs. I have a gun, a few calls, and then, I am in nature. I am wallowing in what is turning out to be the most trusted substance anywhere around.

Dirt. Yes, dirt. No viruses.

No unhealthy bacteria. Just dirt. What you and I are made of. For some reason, I trust most things untouched by human hands. I would rather be bitten by a spider in the wild, than in an abandoned old house.

I would rather drop my bologna sandwich in a pile of leaves and still eat it, than drop it on blacktop, knowing I’ll have to throw it away. I may be naïve, and I know I can’t always trust these standards, but this morning, I can’t imagine the coronavirus being closer to me than about 15 miles. I run to the woods.

Not only do I find comfort in nature, but I also find the clutter between her and her

Creator is minimal. The distance between dirt and deity is only a starry sky interrupted on occasion by a welcomed gobble. I hope you have a place like this.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With the number of individuals who can congregate in one place limited to 10, Easter church services will be almost non-existent in most local churches, except for online.

However, the Pastoral Alliance of White Hall is planning to have an Ecumenical (community all church) Resurrection Service at Lions Park on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.

“This is not your typical Easter service,” White Hall First Baptist Church Pastor Dan Edwards said. “We want everyone to remain in their cars to honor the request of social distancing for the safety and wellbeing of all.”

Edwards said they are still working out the final details of how the service will be delivered.

“We are trying to get an FM transmitter so people can turn on the radio in their car and hear the service,” Edwards said. “If that isn’t possible, we will have loudspeakers set up around the park.”

“Each will be reading small scriptures from the entire Holy Week Palm Sunday-Easter Sunday,” Edwards continued. “Some traditional recorded songs will be played as well.”

The service is expected to last around one hour and everyone is welcome to attend.

“This is a way we can all come together as a church to pray, sing and worship and hear from God through His word despite what is going on right now,” Edwards said.

“We are coming together to celebrating the most important day in the life of the church.”

Art (Continued from A1) might be young, but it’s still a worry for them.”

For Weller’s grandchildren, they see their art project as a personal message to God to keep their family safe.

“When they were done, Corbin looked at me and said, ‘Why don’t you put a candle at the window so the cross shines at night – maybe God will see it better,’” Weller said. “I told him that God hears you through your prayers and thoughts in your heart and he said ‘I know, but I think we need a light there.’ I think the younger kids actually understand the situation a lot better than the older ones. They know how serious this is.”

Weller thinks this pandemic will be similar to the tragedy of 9-11.

“I was a school teacher during that tragedy, and I’ll never forget where I was when I heard the first plane had hit the towers,” she

said. “That whole school year was about 9-11, and how it affected them and the people around them. I tried to promote the kids to write about it, but with there being no school, we can’t do that with this situation.

So it’s up to the parents to get their kids to talk about how this is affecting them.”

Weller has not seen her grandchildren in several weeks now because of the chance of contracting the virus from their parent’s high risk occupations, so the window is a constant reminder of them and better days ahead.

So, while it might seem like merely something to keep the kids entertained for a while – the stained glass art project is so very much more. It is not only a show of unity within communities, but it is also an outlet for children to share their feelings.

Photos of other local youth taking part in this trend can be found on A4.

Delivery

Dairy Bar (Continued from A1) We tried to stay open just to do a service to the community. That was a huge reason it was so hard to close – because I didn’t want to let anyone down.”

While the customers will suffer, so will her employees who will no longer be getting a paycheck.

“I know most of my employees are young, but they still rely on their paychecks so I was really hesitant to close for their sake because they wanted us to stay open as well,” Gray said. “They are great workers and they wanted to work, but my gut instinct was telling me that I needed to be responsible and close down for awhile and hopefully let things calm down some.”

Gray said the worst part of closing is that they were set to have their best year since they took over the business in 2014.

“Business has been really, really good, even with just the walkup open,” Gray said. “We were on track to have the best year we have had so far. Sales have been increasing every year since we bought it, and they were up from last year as well. We were on target to have our best year so far as far as sales go.”

The Dairy Bar opened for the season on March 6. Less than two weeks later, the order came down that they would only be able to do carryout – there would be no inside dining at any eating

establishment.

“It was kind of like going back to the old days as far as the restaurant goes,” Gray said. “Because up until 2013, there was no inside dining at the Dairy Bar – there was only the walk-up window you ordered from. So for us, it didn’t affect our businesses very much because a lot of our customers used the window anyway.”

Having started in 1953, the Dairy Bar has developed a very loyal clientele in the past 60 plus years and COVID-19 didn’t stop them from getting their daily fix of California burgers or ice cream.

“Since this all started, we have been super busy,” Gray said. “We have not seen a decrease in sales since this whole virus started. The only day that was a little slower was the Sunday that it snowed. The virus doesn’t seem to have any kind of impact on our sales at all.”

In fact, business was so good and there were so many people lined up outside to order, that it began to worry Gray.

“I was worried about the social distancing rule and staying six feet apart and so I called the city and asked if I could make an ‘X’ on the sidewalk to remind people where to stand,” Gray said. “I was just getting ready to call the Health Department when they called me to say someone had reported that people were gathering around outside and we needed to enforce the rule or

close our doors.”

Gray said she saw people standing less than six feet apart, but she knew they were all from the same household so didn’t think much of it.

“I’m sure that people driving by might not have known they were living in the same household, but regardless, we didn’t want to put anyone at risk,” she said. “So, I put it out on social media that we would have to close if people didn’t abide by the six-foot rule.”

But, in the end, the emergence of the virus in Jersey County ultimately caused Gray to make the tough decision to close for now.

“I absolutely hated to close and I feel bad about it because we were just getting started, but I just feel I have to do what is responsible – even though it is hard,” Gray said. “I think it is only a matter of time before it is in our county and our town. I feel like the most important thing for me to do is to protect the kids that work there and as many people as possible.”

As far as the future goes, Gray said they will reopen – when the virus has run its course.

“I plan on, like I have always done, going with my gut feelings,” she said.

“Just taking it day by day and seeing, in our area, what comes to pass. Really, until we see the numbers going down, I don’t want to take a chance.”

Jersey County gets COVID-19 positive cases

Greene County still free of virus so far

Carlinville Area Hospital was provided tent Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) provided Carlinville Area Hospital a huge heated/air conditioned tent, which was erected onsite on April 2. Various Illinois fire department personnel assisted including those from Carlinville, Gillespie, Henry, Lacon-Sparland, Litchfield and Wyoming along with Gillespie-Benld Ambulance Service. MABAS provides emergency rapid response and sustained operations when a jurisdiction or region is stricken by an overwhelming event generated by manmade, technological or environmental threats.

By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press Test positive cases of coronavirus have continued to rise, hitting places all around the country, but the virus had yet to make its way into tri-county. That was until recently.

It is now in Green County’s backyard.

Jersey County got its first test positive case of COVID-19 April 1, according to a news release from the Jersey County Health Department.

Officials are confirming a male in his 50s who was currently hospitalized at the time the release was issued. No other details were provided in the release.

In a short time, more cases started to crop up. On Sunday, Jersey Health Department confirmed there were two additional positive cases in the county.

In each case so far, Jersey County officials have worked to identify close contacts.

“We will continue to monitor all possible exposures to COVID-19 by following the guidelines set forth by the IDPH (Illinois

Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),” the release stated.

Greene County is still clear of any positive cases, as of April 6, but that is not likely to remain the case. According to the Greene County Health Department, there have been more than 32 tests that came back negative in the county; however, the department noted that as positive numbers increase in surrounding counties more tests will be conducted, and its very likely positives will increase.

At the state level, deaths have hit 380 with 13,549 positive cases of COVID-19 in total.

Cases have now also cropped up in other neighboring counties like Calhoun County.

Over the weekend, it was reported that a Calhoun County resident in their 20’s had tested positive for COVID-19.

Greene County Health Department officials have encouraged residents to continue practicing social distancing and reduce potential exposure.

Naomi Lansaw of Greenfield diligently works on creating a stained glass window at the Lansaw home in Greenfield.

The process is simply. Merely make a cross on the window with painter’s tape and then section off the window with more painters tape and paint the sections different colors.

The end result looks like a stained glass window.

Six-year-old Miles Malin is very proud standing in front of the door, which he has turned into stained glass. Art projects such as this have helped keep kids busy while school is closed.

and I do believe we have learned at least one valuable lesson from all this. We take so very much for granted and when it is taken away we wonder when will it return.

I have found more time to read more into the scriptures. Do you have a favorite book of scripture or passage? I enjoy the book of Psalms. At one time in our home church, I co-taught senior adult Sunday School. One Sunday morning, the lesson had to do with the 23 Psalm.

One senior lady said she didn’t like that psalm. I asked why, and she explained it dealt with death. Well a lot of the scriptures deal with death. As I read that psalm, I asked the class to listen to the words and pick out several important

grandchildren as well as her entire family dearly. But she loved to spoil the grandchildren most of all.

Due to the current regulations at this critical time, private services will be held. The family would like to mention Honorary Pallbearers for Kim: Jay Newton, Jeff Newton, Kevin Brannan, Tim Preston, and David Carr. Memorial donations are suggested to the family.

Perhaps you have said on Saturday evening at bedtime “wish I could just sleep in on Sunday morning for a change.� I hope now you are saying, “I will really be glad when we can go to church on Sunday.� This all will end in due time,

Kimberly “Kim� Handlin Schmidt, 58, died unexpectedly on Saturday April 4, 2020 at her home in Eldred.

Born in Carrollton on September 14, 1961, she was the daughter of the late Thomas C. Handlin and Shirley Evans Handlin of Eldred.

Surviving besides her Mother are a daughter: Nicole (husband David) Wolfley of Eldred, grandchildren: Maisy, Millie, Molly, a brother Thomas Kelly (wife Cathy) Handlin of Eldred., and a nephew, Randy Handlin of Jerseyville.

Kim was a Registered Nurse for 38 years, having went back to obtain her BSN in 2010 and completed her Masters in Nursing in 2013. She also held nursing licenses in several states, on top of various certifications.

Currently she was working for Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Springfield, as a Holistic Health Specialist. She was a 47 year member of the Eldred Baptist Church. Kim enjoyed using Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family, and she loved her

ones.

There were a few comments but I added this: look at the first two words and the last word,�the Lord forever.�

No matter what befalls us, if we know Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, he is our “Lord forever.� Our recent prayer requests are-John/Lila and family, Harold who is doing much better, Larry and Stacty, the doctors and nurses and all healthcare workers, all that are laid off from work, all schools and employees, churches and pastors. We must pray for the entire nation and our leaders and turn back to our God who hasn’t left us.

I look forward to worshiping with you very soon at Walkerville Baptist Church.

Keep praying. Never cease praying.

Ruth Waters, 83, of Greenfield, died Friday April 3, at Passavant Area Hospital.

Due to current regulations, a private graveside service will be held at Oak Wood

Cemetery north of Greenfield. The Shields-Bishop Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements and online condolences can be left at shields-bishopfh.com

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.�

Colossians 3:13 NIV

R

elationship problems are a common cause of depression and anxiety. When others hurt us, we understandably become anxious, depressed, and often angry.

Many people turn to drugs and alcohol to soothe the pain or quell their anger. Drugs and alcohol often provide a quick relief from the pain that we are feeling, but when the drugs wear off, we feel worse than we did in the first place, and eventually the drugs don’t do the trick. The source of our bad feelings is within us, and as long as we hold onto it, we will suffer. This is why we say “you have to let go of your anger.� And often this can be something we literally hold and feel in our bodies.

We feel tension in our necks and back. Anger may burn in our chests, and our throats may “choke up� with sorrow. An appropriate metaphor for anger is the burning stone, which we

want to use to harm others, but as long as we hold onto that stone (i.e., our anger), we’re the ones who are hurt. Ultimately, if we want to be relieved of our bad feelings, we have to forgive the person who has hurt us. This can be difficult, requiring time and effort, and an almost superhuman willingness to let go of the harm, especially when we are feeling betrayed and undeserving of the wrong done to us. – Christopher Simon

Country Financial Representative Tracey Schmidt presented a donation for $1,500 to Carrollton firefighters in mid-March to assist with the purchase of a new promethean board.

Country Financial donates to Carrollton Fire Department Country Financial Representative Tracey Schmidt announced Carrollton Fire Protection District as a 2020 recipient of a Country Financial Operation Helping Heroes donation. Schmidt presented the donation for $1,500 to Carrollton Firefighters in midMarch to assist with the purchase of their new promethean board. “I’m so proud of our small-town fire department and all that they do to provide safety to our community,� Schmidt said. “I greatly appreciate all the selfless individuals that make up our volunteer department and aid during tragic events and am proud to support a need they identified for continued training. I’m honored to be able to present this donation to the fire department and thank them for their service.�

Carrollton Fire Protection District purchased the promethean board over the winter to aid in the department’s monthly trainings.

WHHS grads honored for 50 years of legal practice Twin brothers who graduated from White Hall High School in 1962 were recently honored for 50 years of service to the legal profession by the Illinois State Bar Association and received certificates designating them as Distinguished Counselors.

Richard D. Larson lives in rural DeKalb and maintains a law practice in Sycamore, the county seat of DeKalb County. He is engaged in the general practice of law as a solo practitioner.

From 1982 through 1995, he served as an Associate Judge for the 16th Judicial Circuit, comprised of Kane, Kendall, and DeKalb counties.

Robert D. Larson practiced law in Alton until 2019, when he retired. His practice was primarily in the area of personal injury, wrongful death and workmen’s compensation. He now resides in Hazelwood, Mo. Both received undergraduate degrees from the University of Illinois in 1966 and then attended the University of Illinois College of Law, graduating in June of 1969. They were sworn in as members of the Illinois Bar in November of 1969.

Their younger sister, Linda A. Larson, a graduate of North Greene High School, received her undergraduate and Master’s degrees from the University of Illinois and also recently retired after serving as a librarian at various libraries in Champaign-Urbana. She continues to live in Champaign.

The Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) organizes the trainings and make them available to firefighters through the University of Illinois. The promethean board allows the fire department to access the trainings virtually and hold them as a team training at the department.

Country Financial will donate more than $1 million in 2020 to organizations and programs that support first responders and active duty service members, supporting the company’s vision to “enrich lives in the communities we serve.�

The Operation Helping Heroes program was created in 2015 to support non-profit events and programs that benefit active duty service members, veterans and their families.

In 2019, Country Financial expanded the program and donated $700,000 to approximately 500 first responder and military organizations.
