Carrollton Grade School holds Elementary STEM night

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Grade School students and their parents were busy last Thursday night at the grade school trying to build a puff mobile as part of Elementary STEM night.

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math which is a huge federal initiative sweeping across school districts in the United States to enhance students’ skills in these areas.

“STEM is one of our district’s academic initiatives,” Assistant Grade School Principal Ronda Smith said.

“We want our students to become problem solvers because we are preparing students for new technology and careers that don’t even exist yet.”

This STEM night was for students from preschool age to fifth grade.

They were divided up into two groups – pre-K to second grade and third through fifth grades.

This is the second STEM night which has been held at the elementary level with the first one being last April.

At the lower grade session there were a total of 52 people attending, 19 of whom were students. At the higher grade level, there was a total of 99 in attendance with 27 of those being students.

Students and their parents were

challenged to build a puff mobile using only four non bendable drinking straws, four lifesavers, one sheet of paper, two paper clips, tape and scissors. The catch was that the only way the car could be moved was by blowing on it.

While it’s far from rocket science, it does require the children to think.

“We encourage problem solving and critical thinking by implementing the engineering design process, which is the cycle used to solve problems,” Smith said. “This process pushes students to higher levels of learning, deep inquiry and critical thinking.”

The engineering design process is a way of solving problems used by engineers consisting of six parts – ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and reflect.

They were given 20 minutes in which to construct their puff mobile, test it out, make improvements and then be ready to go up against all of the other puff mobiles.

Smith said she thought the event was a big success.

“Family STEM night is a great opportunity for students to share with their parents or guardians the STEM experience here at school,” she said.

“It was interesting to see all of the different designs constructed by the teams. Teams were reflecting after the challenge race in the gym on what

they would do differently to improve their design. These conversations are supporting our goal of students using higher order thinking and problem solving.”

Prizes were given out to the top performing teams and all students were entered into a drawing for prizes and every student won a prize for attending including books donated from the Book Fair, Dairy Queen gift certificates, Wagon Wheel gift certificates and an extra recess for their class.

Members of the National Honor Society, including Chantelle Settles, Brittany Lehr and Jacob Smith, helped with the evening along with teachers Kelli Rahe, Mindy Jackson, Emily Fry and Audrey Jones.

The first Family STEM night was held in December of 2012 for the junior high students. The district had been building up to this point for three years beginning with its own teachers.

In August of 2011, the district was the site of a two-week summer institute for teachers in conjunction with Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. The focus of this institute was incorporating engineering and science technology related to content into the curriculum and standards.

The institute was funded by the Math and Science Leadership Initiative, which was a block grant from the state of Illinois.

Lamb hearing set for June 18 Fire destroys home Greene County Board member and sheriff candidate Luke Lamb of Greenfield made his first appearance in Greene County Court on April 9 on a charge of Unlawful Communication with a Juror.

SCHOOL

75¢

Lamb was charged in Greene County Circuit Court Feb. 25 for allegedly communicating with a juror with the intent to influence the juror’s decision.

Lamb appeared in court along with his attorneys, Patrick Watts of St. Louis and Elliott Turpin of Carrollton. Ed Parkinson, a special prosecutor with the Appellate Prosecutor’s Officer, appeared for the state since it would have been a conflict of interest for the Greene County State’s Attorney, who represents the Greene County Board, to prosecute the case.

Likewise, Greene County Circuit Judge James Day recused himself from the case and Scott County Judge David Cherry will preside over the case.

Following the filing of the charges, Lamb’s attorney, Patrick Watts, released a statement to the media, which was made public on the KSDK website, confirming the existence of the Facebook post in which his friend informed him he had been selected for jury duty.

“Mr. Lamb posted a link to a site titled ‘Fully

Informed Jury Association’ in response to his friend’s request. Mr. Lamb, in jest, further made a comment about nullification,” Watts’ statement read. “Mr. Lamb later went on to comment on the same post that the juror should only hang the jury ‘if necessary,’ demonstrating that he was leaving any decision about the individual case up to the jury. The juror was already intending to investigate the issue of jury nullification on his own and Mr. Lamb knew this. Thus, Mr. Lamb had no intent to influence because the juror was already ‘influenced.’”

The letter also states basically that the filing of the charges was nothing more than an attempt at retaliation.

“Prosecutors do not like to lose, especially in front of their voting constituency, a jury. Mr. Lamb’s comments, for which he is charged, are clearly political speech, the highest category of protected speech under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment,” Watts stated. “This case clearly 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.”

Unlawful Communication with a Juror is a Class 4 felony punishable by a term of one to three years in prison or an extended term of three to six years, up to $25,000 fine or probation.

A preliminary hearing date has been scheduled for June 18 at 1:30 p.m., and Watts requested another hearing follow on the same day.

“We are anticipating filing a motion to dismiss in this case,” Watts said. “We prefer it to be heard following the preliminary hearing and request that the court take the testimony given during the preliminary hearing into account on the motion to dismiss.”

in Roodhouse

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press A fire, suspicious in nature, destroyed a vacant home in Roodhouse early Sunday morning.

“it was coming out of all the windows and was through the attic and coming out of the roof .”

Terry Hopkins Fire Chief

According to Fire Chief Terry Hopkins, his department received the call at 12:08 a.m. Sunday morning, April 13 and arrived on the scene to find the house, located at 521 Cain St., fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.

“It was basically gone when we got there,” Hopkins said. “It was coming out of all the windows and was through the attic and coming out of the roof.”

The condition of the house contributed to the rapid spread of the air.

“There were hardly any windows left intact before the fire,” Hopkins said. “The doors were all off and it was in pretty bad condition. I think that added a lot to the way it burned, too, because it was getting plenty of fire.”

The fire is being treated as suspicious because there were no utilities hooked up to the home.

“All of the utilities had been shut off – gas, water, electric at the time of the fire,” Hopkins said. “It has probably been well over a month since anyone has lived there.”

The owner of the home has not yet been determined.

“We can’t seem to locate who actually owns the home,” Hopkins said. “There was one woman who at first claimed to own it but when I asked her she said she did not own it – that a family member had bought it for her - but we can’t seem to come up with this family member’s name.”

It is not known whether the home was insured but Hopkins said since the home was basically uninhabitable, he seriously doubted it.

Roodhouse City Council finalized plans for its cleanup days at the April 9 workshop meeting, designating June 2-6 as cleanup days for city residents only.

Through its citywide garbage pickup contract with Area Disposal, the city gets eight free dumpsters annually for its general clean-up days. Several factors had to be taken into consideration before the date was finalized.

“I called Area Disposal and the earliest date they were comfortable with was the first week of June,” Alderman Garrett Rogers said. “I have checked with Terry (Ross) and he said that date was fine with them and I also checked to see if we could get the prisoners to help on that date and we can, so everything seems to line up nicely.”

Rogers said because there were numerous instances last year of people putting out items that were not accepted, the event would need to be advertised better, especially what items can be accepted.

Prohibited items include: building materials, tires, electronics and loose yard clippings.

“We can take paint cans this year if the lids are off and the paint is allowed to dry,” Rogers said. “As for yard waste – yard clippings must be in a paper bag before they will be picked up. We are also asking people put loose, smaller items in boxes or bags.”

Tires and electronics will be picked up the following Saturday, June 14.

Baby Huey E-Recycling will pick up televisions, refrigerators, and microwaves plus anything else electronic.

“It’s the same as last year – everything is free but there is a $5 surcharge on televisions,” Rogers said. “We need to decide if the customers are going to pay that or whether or not we are going

to pick it up. I would suggest the city just pay for it and get them out of town.”

The city has a credit due from last year’s collection so the city might not have to pay a dime.

“Baby Huey gives us two and a half percent return on the items they pick up and they currently owe us around $80,” Rogers said. “It was my thinking that we could use that to offset the cost of the surcharge on the televisions. Maybe it will work out perfect for both of us.”

Also on June 14, Area Disposal will provide two dumpsters free of charge to the city because of its contract with the city, for the collection of tires.

Residents are urged to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of junk tires.

“I talked with the police chief and he said as soon as we get a date set he will start sending out notices to those in violation of our city ordinance regarding tires,” Mayor Tom Martin said. “After he comes to collect the tires, our ordinances regarding this matter will be strictly enforced.”

Alderman Charlie Huffines said the city should also make sure the residents know when their section of town is going to be picked up.

“I got several calls last year from people who said they didn’t put their stuff out on the street until Thursday and then it just sat there,” Huffines said.

“They called up here and were told their section of town was picked up on Monday and Tuesday, so I think we need to make a better effort to let people know when their side of town is going to be picked up.”

Alderman Terry Garner suggested the cleanup be done by ward with the city going back on Friday and picking up anyone who forgot to put it out during their day.

The cleanup is for Roodhouse residents only.

One vehicle accident Three people escaped serious injury in this one vehicle accident which occurred on Saturday around noon at the intersection of Rt. 67 and County Road 1600N just north of Heinold Curve. According to Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen, Alyssa C. Sweeten, 24, of Carrollton was driving southbound in a 1994 Chevy Blazer when the vehicle left the road and flipped. Sweeten and two children, ages three and four, were taken to Boyd Hospital in Carrollton by Greene County Ambulance where they were treated for minor injuries and released. No traffic citations were issued in the accident.

SRB Memorial Benefit a huge success again this year

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Eldred is normally a sleepy little village nestled under the bluffs, but when it’s time for the annual Stanley Ray Brannan Memorial Benefit, it becomes a bustling little mecca.

Held on the first Saturday in April, the sixth annual SRB benefit was held April 5 beginning with a 5k run/walk locally referred to as the “Blacktop Trot” and ending with an auction held at the Eldred American Legion. In between, there was an Easter egg hunt for children, a basketball tournament for all ages, a poker tournament for the adults, a variety of basket raffles and food for everyone.

Stan Brannan, a longtime resident of Eldred, was killed in a car accident in 2004. The first SRB benefit was organized in 2009 when a member of Brannan’s family needed a heart transplant.

“My dad’s brother, Tom, had a son, Kobe, and he was in need of

a heart transplant and we were trying to think of ways we could be of help,” Stan Brannan’s daughter, Karen Bowman, said. “My aunt mentioned we should do a benefit and because everyone knew my dad, we decided to do it in honor of him.”

Kobe Brannan was born with 17 various heart defects which were not discovered until he was born.

“They waited seven weeks until he got his first transplant and he has lived a fairly normal life until this past summer when they found the first signs of rejection, which is a narrowing of the coronary arteries,” Bowman said. “Now, he is on the transplant list once again.”

Kobe just turned 16 on April 9 and is once again facing an extended stay at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University in Indianapolis.

“When we first started the benefit in 2009, our first thought was donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities since they helped my Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tom so much during their stay in Indianapolis,”

Bowman said. “It went over really well and then we decided in addition to the Ronald McDonald House we would do some scholarships at the high school.”

They started out offering one $1,000 scholarship, but after having such a good year, they started offering two scholarships. Now, every year the SRB Benefit gives $2,000 to Carrollton’s District One Foundation which handles numerous scholarships to students.

“We gave them the criteria of what we would and they have the kids apply for the grants and award them,” Bowman said. “Basically, our criteria is for it to go to a student who is going into the agricultural field or to a two- or four-year college.”

In addition to the scholarships, the SRB Benefit makes numerous donations to organizations within the community such as the local food pantry, Operation Christmas, and Full Moon Over Carrollton along with many other donations.

“Since we had such a good year last year, we helped get the new score board at the high school because my dad was a big fan of sports,” Bowman said. “We also donated to Boyd Hospital to help them get some training manuals.

We just try to help out where we are needed.”

Since 2009, the benefit has donated $54,800 to various charities. Ronald McDonald House Charities has received $35,000 in donations with $22,000 going to Indiana and $13,000 to Central Illinois; District One Foundation has received $6,500 to go towards Carrollton High School scholarships and local charities have received $13,300.

“Not only are these numbers very gratifying to be able to see what our community can come together and accomplish, but it also means that these people come out annually to celebrate the memory of my dad,” Bowman said. “This just adds to the pleasure in putting on the event.”

North Greene Elementary holds Family Reading Night

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It’s not very often you see kids excited about going into the classroom after school is out, but that wasn’t the case Wednesday when North Greene Elementary held its Family Reading Night.

The hallways were filled with both parents and students at the event sponsored by the Title 1 reading program.

“This is just something we do to promote literacy and encourage kids to read,” Title I teacher Tiffany Rogers said. “It’s our chance to show them different authors, different books, etc.”

Held in conjunction with the school’s book fair, a variety of activities are set up with the theme following this year’s book fair theme of Fiesta, which meant this year’s Family Reading Night took on a south-of-the-border flare.

All of the activities were free to the children.

"Each grade level is holding a different kind of program, or in the case where the grade level is split, they are holding two programs,"Rogers said. "In the program, the teacher will read a book with the class and then they will do an activity - it might be a food activity or making maracas. The class in first grade is doing Curious George and they are going to make piñatas."

A book walk was held in the multipurpose room.

“This is much like a cake walk except instead of getting a cake,

they will get a book,” Rogers said.

When students entered and registered, they received two tickets.

Whichever event they chose to attend, they put their name on the ticket and were entered into a drawing. Five or six of those names were drawn out of a hat and received a free book.

They also received a “Reading Survival Kit” which included a rubber band to remind them that reading stretches their imagination; a mint for reading can open a “mint” of information; Band Aid because reading can mend the soul; candy because reading gives the sweet satisfaction of learning something new; Q-tip because reading helps open one’s ears to the meaning of words; and gum as a reminder that reading is something one should stick with.

“This is just our way of reminding kids how important reading is,” Rogers said. “Unfortunately, as the child gets older, the time he spends reading for enjoyment shrinks.”

A parent reading aloud to their child builds a “want” to read in the child. In kindergarten, there is a 100 percent interest in reading a book outside of school, but by fourth grade this drops to 54 percent and by 12th grade it has fallen to 19 percent.

“What changed in fourth grade was that parents stopped reading to their kids,” Rogers said. “Parents have the bigger influence on their child than the teachers when you stop to think that a child spends 7,800 hours at home while only 900 hours at school.”

Carrollton places first in Gifted Olympiad

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Thanks to the generosity of several Carrollton businesses, the Carrollton School District was able to send three additional teams to this year’s Gifted Olympiad in Bunker Hill.

“The Gifted Olympiad is a competition sponsored by the Regional Office of Education #40 in which students from schools in the region compete in teams of four,” Carrollton Grade School Assistant Principal Ronda Smith said. “The teams are challenged with a series of problems and tasks including logic, construction, critical thinking and deductive reasoning. Points are awarded for each problem and awards are given based on total accumulated points.”

Students from third grade through high school attended along with teachers Mike Scott from the high school; Lisa Robinson for the seventh and eighth grade; Andy Stumpf for the fifth and sixth grades; and Mindy Jackson for the fourth and fifth grades.

According to Stumpf, the donations from local businesses allowed

each grade to send a complete team of four students.

“In previous years, we’d have to split it up and take two fifth graders and two sixth graders instead of having a team of four fifth graders and four sixth graders,” Stumpf said. “This year we were able to send complete teams to compete in the Olympiad from third grade up to eighth grade.”

The sponsorship made all the difference for Carrollton as the seventh grade team of Breden Custer, Elle Geers, Gabriela Gonzalez and Nathan Walker placed first overall at the seventh/eighth grade competition on Feb. 13.

Due to the generous donations from Carrollton Bank, CNB Bank, Wagon Wheel and WhitworthHorn-Goetten Insurance Agency, the district was able to send an addition three grades to the competition.

Students attending from the third grade were: Barbi Butler, Paige Henson, Trinity Jones and Gabe Wileman. Fourth grade: Laina Bennett, Breanna Lehr, Sierra Graham and Kathryn Tepen.

Fifth grade: Ellen Kangas, Ella Richey, Dagan Barnett, and Jordan

Chosen Ones appearing at Carrollton United Methodist Church

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton United Methodist Church will be hosting The Chosen Ones on April 25 at 7 p.m. and church members are hoping there will be a large attendance.

“We were sitting around thinking about how we could bring more people into the church and Marge Hopkins suggested we have a concert,” church elder Larry Gillingham said. “We all agreed and she had suggested The Chosen Ones and after contacting them and finding out they were available, we set it up.”

The church is probably best known for its Potato Bar, held several times throughout the year with proceeds going towards several different charities including the Relay For Life and various missions.

Hailing from the small town of Manchester, The Chosen Ones feature two generations of family harmony, blending both traditional and progressive Southern Gospel music.

“It’s their unique approach to gospel music which appeals to a very diverse audience, which is what we are looking for,” Gillingham said. “They have a broad appeal from the older generation down to the younger generation.”

This year will mark the 40th anniversary of The Chosen Ones, having begun in 1974. Since then, they have performed throughout the United States and abroad, making more than 160 personal appearances annually. They have released more than 20 recordings including four national radio releases. Their latest recording, “So Blessed” was released in 2012.

“They do more than just put on a concert,” Gillingham said.

“The Carrollton concert will be a moving worship experience along with a concert of great music.”

A free will offering will be accepted and refreshments served after the concert. The church is located on the corner of Highway 67 and Maple St. and everyone is invited to attend.

Bev’s Baskets and Bows expands to Carrollton

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Bev’s Baskets and Bows has been a staple in Greenfield since 1997, and now owner Bev Goode has opened a branch in Carrollton on the square.

Located in the former Lemon Tree location between Greenetech and Painter Tax Service on the north side of the square, it officially opened on April 7. Goode will now have two stores – one in Greenfield and one in Carrollton.

“I’ve had a lot of people ask me over the years to come to Carrollton and it’s always kind of been a dream of mine to one day have a tea room, also,” she said. “This was just a good opportunity to do both things and I’m hoping to get the tea room going by summer.”

Goode said the decision to expand to Carrollton was a rather abrupt one.

“This all happened very quickly – we only decided three weeks ago to open here,” Goode said. “Janice Roberts (owner of the building) had actually talked to someone about being interested in leasing the building, and the word got to me and I called her and we talked about it and it just seemed like a good opportunity for me to expand a little.

Everything just fell into place at the right time.”

Goode started in the floral business in her own basement, but quickly outgrew the space.

“I was working at the bank in Greenfield and dabbled a little in crafts,” she recalled. “My motherin-law got me into that and I began

working with silk flowers. My grandmother got me interested in the fresh flowers. I started doing weddings for family and close friends and then one day I just decided this was what I wanted to do.”

Goode quit her job at the bank and just enjoyed being a housewife for a while – not long, however.

“One day, just out of the blue, I decided I was going to open a shop in the basement so I started cleaning everything out of it,” she said. “My husband came home and asked me what I was doing and I said I was going to open up a shop down there, and so I did.”

The business grew and quickly became too big to be run from the basement. So, in 1997, Goode opened her shop behind the post office on Rt. 267. She has enjoyed great success in Greenfield and plans to keep her shop there, but the Carrollton location was just too good to pass up.

“What I love most about this location is the large windows which open out onto the square,” Goode said. “I like being able to look out and see all the cars and the hub-bub – just all of the action which I can’t do in Greenfield where I’m located.

I love the Greenfield store and the community, but it is kind of neat being located right on the square. I also like the fact that Carrollton has a lot of special things going on like Greene County Days, Full Moon Over Carrollton, the Christmas Parade, etc.”

Goode said she had no problem filling up the Carrollton location.

“We kind of had an overabundance of product, especially stuff

that wasn’t made up yet, at the Greenfield location,” Goode said.

“This is going to help us to be able to spread it out a little more because the Greenfield location isn’t quite as big of this. We are going to be able to show what we can make a little bit better over here.”

Carrollton has been more than welcoming to its newest business.

“We have been very warmly welcomed and I feel very honored and pleased with the reception we have had from people,” Goode said. “I know a lot of people from Carrollton anyway and everybody has been very receptive to it. That makes me feel good.”

There is no such thing as “too much business” in a small community, Goode said.

“It’s nice to see all the other businesses around the square, and I don’t think you can ever have too many,” Goode said. “I think when people come into a town they like to go to all the different places and check them out. It gives them a good reason to come to town when there are more things for them to go around and see.”

Goode said she plans to split her time between both stores. She employs two people in Greenfield and plans to employ two more in Carrollton.

While the tea room is still in the planning stages, when it does open it will fulfill a dream of Goode’s.

“I’ve always liked to do parties and fun things and I think having a tea room will be like having a party every day you are open,” Goode said. “I would like to have it open by summer and we would like to have

it open for special occasions such as showers and card clubs.”

Store hours will be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

A grand opening has been planned

for Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The number at the Carrollton location is 217-942-9119 and if it is after hours the answering machine has the number at which Goode can

be reached.

“I feel like I am very welcome here and I like that,” she said. “I just hope I can serve the community and be a part of this community.”

Cancer Survivor’s wanted for Greene County Relay For Life Survivor Supper June 11 On June 13 and 14, the American Cancer Society will beholding its 15th Annual Greene County Relay For Life event at the Carrollton High School Athletic Field.

Each year a Survivor Supper is held for all the survivors. This year the supper will be held on Wednesday, June 11 at 6 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Carrollton. By having the supper on a different night than the relay there will be more time for those in attendance to eat and enjoy the evening’s program. There will be no cost for the meal for survivors, however there is a $5 donation for any guest attending

the supper with the survivor. Survivors will receive their Survivor T-Shirt that night so it can be worn to the relay on Friday. The Survivor Medallions and 2014 Year Pins will be received at the relay prior to the Survivor Lap on Friday.

The opening ceremony on Friday night will start at 7 p.m. and the first lap will be dedicated to the Cancer Survivors. Special seating in front of the north grandstand will be arranged for the survivors. During this time, each survivor’s name will be read and the length of time of survival. Then all of the survivors will walk the first lap around the track as a group. Wheel-

chairs will be provided for those who are unable to walk.

Immediately following the Survivor’s Lap there will be a special lap for caregivers (the person or person who cared for the survivor during their cancer treatment).

Survivors who attended last year should wear their purple ribbon and medallion. New survivors will receive their medallion this year.

Anyone who has had cancer is welcome to attend the Survivor Supper. For reservations or to order a Survivor T-Shirt, call Nancy Wollenweber at 217-942-6254 by May 1.

The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) has partnered with Powderhook, a technology company with a mission of "Access for All," to increase the effectiveness of the NWTF Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative.

"The NWTF recognizes hunters are a major funding source for wildlife management. We need more hunters to keep wildlife populations healthy and thriving, and access to hunting lands keeps hunters in the game. Solving the access problem is bigger than any one organization. We're happy to partner with Powderhook and others to develop a solution," said Doug Saunders, NWTF senior vice president of marketing.

Powderhook's website allows hunters to easily find and share access to hunting clubs and leas-

es, reputable outfitters, and private and public lands. The built-in communication and trip planning tools are essential to engaging new people and encouraging hunters to venture out more often.

"The mission of `Access for All' is a big undertaking but that is why our partnership with the NWTF makes sense. We, too, are trying to increase the number of hunters along with the availability of hunting habitat," said Eric Dinger, Powderhook CEO. As an incentive to join the movement for preservation of our hunting heritage, the NWTF and Powderhook are giving away a once-in-a-lifetime turkey hunt with former MLB player, Ryan Klesko, and turkey hunting legend, Eddie Salter. Find the contest rules and enter to win at www. powderhook.com/nwtf.

The NWTF Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative is a charge that mobilizes science, fundraising and devoted volunteers to give the NWTF more energy and purpose than ever.

Through this national initiative, NWTF has committed to raising $1.2 billion to conserve and enhance more than 4 million acres of essential upland wildlife habitat, create at least 1.5 million new hunters and open access to 500,000 new acres for hunting, shooting and outdoor enjoyment.

Without hunters, there will be no wildlife or habitat. The NWTF is determined to Save the Habitat.

Save the Hunt.

IDNR initiates further reforms to advance regulatory transparency Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Director Marc Miller announced April 3 significant reforms to further improve transparency and strengthen regulations in the agency’s Office of Mines and Minerals. These reforms continue the effort to rebuild and renew IDNR that the administration of Gov. Pat Quinn began with the appointment of Director Miller in 2009.

“The reforms being announced today are the most recent steps to further restore the integrity of this agency and allow for more public participation as we work toward becoming a national model for transparency,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller.

Earlier this week, the IDNR committed to several reforms designed to improve transparency and public participation in the coal permitting process. Today, the IDNR is announcing several other concrete steps that will even further advance the process.

These reform initiatives include: n Increased inspections of all coal ash impoundments: In the wake of recent failures of coal ash impoundments in North Carolina and West Virginia resulting in contamination, IDNR’s Office of Water Resources will visually inspect all coal ash impoundments in Illinois for structural integrity, to protect our natural resources. n Strengthen internal oversight of permit applications: The IDNR has added a position of General Counsel to the Office of Mines and Minerals to specifically focus on matters related to the Illinois statutes and regulations related to coal and aggregate mining, blasting and explosives, mine safety, and abandoned mined lands reclamation. All permits will be reviewed against legal standards by the Office of Mines and

Minerals General Counsel before submission to the Director of the Office of Mines and Minerals. n Additional public oversight added to State Mining and Oil and Gas Boards: The IDNR proposes that two additional appointed members be added to the State Mining Board, and that two additional members be added to the State Oil and Gas Board. Each board would add two representatives of the general public who have no financial interest in mining and/or oil or gas operations in the State of Illinois. n Improved information collection: The IDNR has redesigned and updated the Oil and Gas Permit Application, which will improve the information exchange process and allow the agency to better collect and review information from applicants. n Conflict of interest policy update: The IDNR is strengthening its agency-wide policy on conflicts of interest to provide more specific guidance to employees with respect to prohibited acts, and areas of potential or apparent conflict.

During the past year, Director Miller separated the Office of Oil and Gas from the Office of Mines and Minerals, making the Office of Oil and Gas Resource Management (OOGRM) a distinct regulatory office.

The move significantly improved the office’s regulatory ability, resulting in a major increase in penalties imposed against oil and gas companies. In the last six months of 2013, the OOGRM collected more than triple the number of fines that were levied on oil and gas companies in the previous 36 months.

Within the Office of Mines and Minerals, the IDNR has expanded the use of federal Abandoned Mined Lands funding to support 17 new staff positions, including mine inspectors.

We also want to announce that we have cancelled our Good Friday service due to scheduling conflicts for our pastor.

During morning worship Rich Caskey sang “Peace In the Valley.”

That’s all for this week. Have a good week and a wonderful Easter. We all need to remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Calvary Baptist Church April 13. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements: Ladies Bible Study tonight at 6 p.m.; Bible Study April 15 at 7 p.m. April 16 Business meeting at 6 p.m.; April 20 - Easter Sunday Sunrise service at 6 a.m. at White Hall Rez with men fixing breakfast afterward, services at regular morning times. No service Sunday evening - enjoy your family. April 27 Potluck after morning services. The Campbell’s brought their new baby boy to church today. Congratulations.

Sis. Jeanette gave the Sunday school report.Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led congregation in singing hymns. Sis Molly took children downstairs for church.

Message by Bro. Baxter: Matthew 24: 14-27 - the gospel shall be preached in all the world and then shall the end come. Take heed that no man deceive you.

Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, for all these things must come to pass. Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places.

These are the beginnings of sorrow. False prophets shall deceive many, the love of many shall wax cold. Then let the Judeans flee to the mountains. Than shall be great tribulation, such as was

not seen since the beginning of time, nor ever shall be. The end is not come yet. When the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached some believe and others don’t.

Sunday evening: prayer and singing of hymns. Continue in Matthew 24 by Bro. Baxter. False prophets will fool many people. If any man shall say here is Christ or there, believe it or not. As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of man be.

There shall be a great sound of a trumpet, and shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Know that the end is near. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Please pray for churches everywhere, traveling mercies, the bereaved, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the lost, the sick, our country, our leaders, our troops and their families, all the disasters, and one another.

Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 7 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 7 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 7 p.m.

Walkerville Baptist Church news It was a changeable day.

Started out 70 degrees with rain, then wind, then colder and by Monday morning forecast snow by night. Sure hope it’s wrong, but the wind is in the northwest and 40 degrees, so anything can happen - it’s Illinois.

A good group at church and a good message 1 Cor. 12. Christ is not on the cross or in the tomb, nor will we be in the grave when Judgment Day is here. Where will you be? The children’s question was answered really well. The answer to who walked on earth and talked on earth, convicted a man of his sin and died and never went to heaven or hell, was Balaam’s mule. Read it in Numbers 22.

Palm Sunday was explained.

Find the word Easter in the Bible.

For this coming week and on which side of Christ was the saved thief when nailed to the cross? Does it tell us if both Jesus’ hands and feet were nailed to the cross? If so where? Look in Psalm 22. Our prayer list is: Ann Ford, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Bonnie Hardwick, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, Ed Crabtree, Robert Lawson, Susie Kiefer, all of those who were not there Sunday. They

missed a good blessing.

Easter Sunday next week.

There will be refreshments for all from 9 to 10:15 a.m. Come and enjoy the fellowship and good eats. There will be special Easter services, so don’t miss out on any of it. Easter is a resurrection of many things. Jesus died for our sins.

The nails nor the spears, nor the Romans, but mine and your sins. Mark 33 - every time you sin you drive the nails a little deeper. Think about that. If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.

If you plant goodness, your will reap friends. If you plant humility, you will reap greatness. If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment. If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.

If you plant hard work, you will reap success. If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

If you love Jesus, you will reap eternal life. If you serve Jesus and honor him, you will reap rewards in heaven. You can let it all begin at Walkerville. Let Jesus come into your heart. You can meet him there. I pray that I will see you all at church Sunday. Happy Easter, eggs are good to eat, but let Jesus be in your heart.

Charity Southern Baptist Church news

Charity Southern Baptist Church invites you to worship with us. Sunday school is at 9:30am, church at 10:30. Choir practice Sunday evening at 6, church service at 7. Wednesday night family supper 6 pm, Bible Study 7 pm. If you need a ride to any service, please call Kelly Moore 217-248-0901. Our purpose in our church is to honor God, reach the unsaved, and with our utmost ability and faithfulness promote growth in the Lord. In so doing, we will support fellowship, become alert for new prospects and always work to reclaim inactive members.

This week Brother Bill Smith gave a message from 1 Corinthians 1:18 and Colossians 1:19-20. Bro. Bill could not have said it better than this: “There has never been a Greater demonstration of True Love than there was on The Cross.” God The Father gave His one and only Son for us. We hear this so often, but lets really think about it...

Can you imagine allowing your child to be delivered to a calvary of men that hate him, to be mocked, tortured and sacrificed for the sake of those who endlessly and relentlessly offend you and despise you? Think about that. Is there anyone that you may consider and enemy? This is who you are giving your son or your daughter over to and for. To be Sacrificed. Sacrificed for evil so that the evil may be made pure.

Now think about being that son or daughter. How easy would

it be for you to hand yourself over to this group of men who hated you so that you may save them for eternity? Jesus did that.

He was Terrified, but He did it.

Mark 14:36 tells us of His pleas to the Father to “Take this cup from me!” In other words, “Don’t make me do this.” But He Did. God didn’t take this pain away from His Son, He empowered Him to endure it. We should be eternally grateful that Jesus put His Father’s will before His own. Because of his faithfulness, we are all allowed to reign with Him eternally in Heaven. Heaven is perfect. Only perfection is allowed. None of us will make the cut alone. Only by accepting the ransom Jesus paid through His death on the cross are we made pure. Have you accepted His gift of salvation?

Julie George led praise and worship with “Grace Flows Down.” We will be receiving the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering through Easter Sunday.

The Community Good Friday service will be held at First Baptist Church at 7:00 p.m. Saturday will be Charity’s Easter egg hung at 10:00 a.m. Bring a basket!

Please pray for these: Joanne Ford and family, Don Kual, Sharon Albrecht, Juanita Muntz, Anne Ford, Carl Winters, Gary White, Jack Ross, Our Pastor Search committee, our unspoken requests, our country, military families, nursing home residents, shut-ins and for our church as we search for a new pastor.

orchestrating and Jesus was willing… the people responded. They mocked him and crucified Jesus making fun and saying …save yourself if you’re the King. What kind of faith does it take to be saved? Faith that defies the obvious, Faith that trusts in the unseen, Faith that trust GOD no matter what’s going on around you and faith that sometimes stands alone…..

“What’s so good about Good Friday” GOD was in control and Jesus was willing. John 3:16…GOD so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son. The great truth that motivated GOD’s plan of salvation.

We believers are so very blessed!

Our church serves a Children’s Ministry supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 pm for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. A new class has started and if you are interested, please calls Thea Adcock at (217) 983-2724 .Our Sunday services include Sunday school at 9 a.m. for adults and children’s classes and regular services at 10 a.m. Our services are always open, please come and join us.

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.

Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor As reported by Mary Eustace April showers bring May flowers….so the saying goes. We are so grateful for the rain this Sunday morning, April 13. Our church is blessed with a passionate Pastor who tells a story that reaches our very core to understand how GOD is in control always.

This week is Part 2 of Passion Week – Good Friday. Our Pastor asks “What’s so good about Good Friday?” How can the death of a man, even if guilty, in such as excruciating manner be good? If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, doesn’t that make his death even worse…how can killing the creator be a “good” thing?

Because….God was in control and Jesus was willing. If “The son of man goes as it has been determined” (Luke 22; 22) then Isaiah 50:6 paints the picture of just how “in control” God really was. Again in Isaiah 53: 5-6 and 10 he explicitly states that GOD was in control.

This book was written around 800 years before Christ. It was part of the “Dead Sea Scrolls” dated 2000 year old document before Jesus was born.

Isaiah was discovered a complete book without doctrinal error. GOD was in control.

What does this mean to you? Take comfort that He is GOD – Sovereign.

Take comfort that Jesus, Son of GOD came to become a man and that His will is accomplished. Jesus was willing to do this. He was willing to fulfill the Father’s plan. As GOD was

With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.

Proverbs 25:15

Aristotle claimed that there were three basic ways we can persuade others: logic, emotion and character. Often we want to know the reason why we should do something. A physician who explains how a medicine will benefit her patient is appealing to logic. And when she tells him the terrible consequences which are likely to result if he doesn't treat his condition, she is appealing to emotion, in this case, fear. And by convincing her patient that she really is a kind and compassionate physician who has her patient's best interest in mind she is appealing to character. We are all more likely to listen to someone who we believe to be a genuinely good person. A fourth means of persuasion that can be effective, and which must be combined with character or moral persuasion, is the rule of seven touches.

Sales and marketing folks know that they are more likely to make a sale after repeated contacts, and the rule of seven touches says to not give up on a potential sale until after you've had seven contacts. Familiarity, while admittedly sometimes breeding contempt, can also breed trust, at least when we are becoming familiar with someone who is friendly and seems genuinely interested in us. So if you want to persuade someone, combine your logical, emotional and moral arguments with a genuine interest in the other person, and make frequent contact with them.

–Christopher Simon

Engagements

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Dusty made short rows when he planted garden - when it came time to gather, he and dad sat on a stump.

Mother and I bent.

Jeanette Duncan Ford and I shared cucumbers and quart Mason jars for lime pickles. When Dale retired he lifted the white five-gallon buckets of lime water and cucumbers. I had him to pour the lime water around the trees.

Dusty always took several jars to Colorado for Dick and Mel. Their son, Richard told his fellow friends to stay out of the fridge, as the jar of dark green stuff (lime pickles) was poison.

Meehan’s IGA has a sweet pickle that is tasty.

We grew red cabbage and green cabbage. Freezer slaw was quite popular. Dusty used a small electric saw and shaved the cabbage - he did this on the picnic table outside and hosed away the mess. Dad contrived a dressing of garlic and super rose sweetener.

Mother and I put the slaw into freezer bags.

Rich and Jenny Robinson brought to me a couple of heads of red cabbage from their Colorado garden. I boiled a little at a time and enjoyed every mouthful.

By 4 o’clock each evening, my son Clifton telephones me to be assured that all is well and to visit. Tonight he was a tad late. I had forgotten that the “three A’s” (my great-grandkids) were there. After work he and Shirley had taken them to the country market to see baby chicks and baby ducklings.

The National Guard has a museum that houses a canon, tank, airplane and helicopter. The two older children can’t get a word in edgewise until Clifton quietly says, “Now it’s your sister’s turn and Ayden would you like to speak?” Shirley and the girls were going to watch “Snow White” - Clifton and AJ were going to watch the “Martians”. The girls asked me what I was having for supper. When I told them I was having cranberries for my dessert I was surprised to learn that they enjoy cranberries. Clifton told me, “Mom, you used to buy me Totino’s pizza, so I let them select their flavor.” They love sausage.

Our sympathy is extended to the family of Ebert Damm. Bernice Damm Weiser, Ernest Damm, Mildred Damm and Bob Damm were our next-door neighbors when we moved on West Mulberry in 1935.

Bernice and Dora Ross had my bridal shower. My sister Melba Love and Judith Fisler dressed as Easter rabbits, hopped in with the gifts in decorated clothes baskets that I carried

wet clothes to the line later.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cody Vinyard. Welcome to the neighborhood!

When Lilas McCollum Lohr of Boonesville, Ind. was visiting in Greenfield, she and her sister Beverly Still went to Jerseyville to see a cousin. He told them that years ago a meteor had fallen southwest of Rockbridge and had formed a lake.

The meteor formed a lake. The people of Rockbridge named it Crystal Lake. In the summer round dances were held. My dad Nile Love and mother Caroline and Uncle Curt and Aunt Helen Shane danced there. Faye Rice played piano - Dick Buck - Raymond Bazal Patterson, Burley Corder played instruments for O.T. Brannan.

Corey McCarn called his grandmother Barbara Kahl from the state of Mississippi where he has selected to be an Assistant Professor while studying for his Masters Degree at Mississippi State University. This will pay for his tuition, plus he is being given a substantial salary.

My neighbor Wreatha Loy is recuperating and undergoing therapy at the nursing home directly South of Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville.

Recently Dr. Gary and Amy Turpin drove to Lake Bloomington. While there they visited a family cemetery.

He said, “It was cold and wet, but we found the grave I was seeing about.”

For four years in my past, twice a day, I had fish - turbot at noon and tuna at night. Turbot comes from the Mediterranean Sea, weighs 75 pounds, lies and swims on its side and had one eye on top its head. At Jacksonville I bought 28 ounces each week. Dale weighed and cut it into 4 ounce pieces. I coated it with paprika, baked and froze each portion. With a glass of skimmed milk, a crisp salad and a fruit, my lunches were ready for a week. Health wise this program worked. My size went from 20 to 6!

Around seventy years ago dad and mother, Dusty and I had an all-night April Fool’s Sleepover for my sister, Melba Love - her Sorority Sisters know as “The S.O.P.S.” Superintendent H.R. Gerhard made arrangements with Speith Photography to take their individual photos. Barbara Land (d), Francis Piper (d), Helen Steckle McKinzie (d), Audree Witt Dayak (d), Doris Ford Hodapp (d), Lilian Bowman short (d), Jeanette Meng Gable, Peggy Lou Smith Sudbrink and Melba Love Robinson were the charter members.

‘Til next time!

Cards of Thanks Thank you The family of Julius Gilbert would like to thank Dr. Voigts, Dr. Forero, the nurses of Jacksonville Dialysis for all their care, also the girls from Home Instead. Thank you to the Methodist ladies for the delicious lunch, the Elzam Shrine Club, the White Hall Masonic Lodge and the Stuart Pierson Lodge for the service, the American Legion for their services at the cemetery. Thank you for flowers, food, donations to the Carrollton United Methodist Church Hall and to Shriners Children’s Hospital, cards, calls and most of all your prayers. We are very lucky to have so many friends and family to help us in our loss. We don’t want to forget all at Shield Bishop Funeral

Home who were very helpful.

Jeanette Doug and Janine and family Tim and Deb and family Thank you Thanks to the nurses and doctors at Boyd Hospital for such wonderful care, Rick Hires, Pastor Steve Jacobson, Jackie DeGeal for the music, the pallbearers, the American Legion Honor Guard, flowers, cards, calls, memorials, food, the ladies who worked at the house.

Everything was deeply appreciated.

Eugene Stine will be sadly missed.

Steven Varble shares his drawing with first graders at North Greene Elementary.

Students introduced to art as a career Steven Varble an illustrator/designer from the Jacksonville area was a guest at North Greene Elementary School on April 3. Steve’s visit was funded through a Two Rivers Arts Council grant. Mr. Varble shared his experiences as an illustrator, showing the students various works such as maps, brochures, a coloring book, pictures and other items that he illustrated.

Teachers, Pam Painter and Tammy Winters, wanted to introduce students to a paid artist and encourage students to consider an art career. Mr. Varble

showed the students how to draw various animals and explained the need to draw what the author wrote.

A follow up activity was conducted by the teachers, where students illustrated text provided from children’s literature. Mrs. Painter and Mrs. Winters continue to plan art experiences for students in K-3 at North Greene Elementary monthly, utilizing funding from Christ United Methodist Church, North Greene PTO and The Two Rivers Arts Council.

North Greene Elementary School to host Student Art Show The students of North Greene Elementary School in Roodhouse have been enjoying art lessons during which they learn about artists and experience a variety of mediums and techniques in creating their own works of art. They have done this with the help of retired teachers who volunteer to provide this instruction because they believe it is important to promote the arts in school.

The students and their art teach-

ers would like to invite everyone to come see the student artwork displayed during an Art Show which will be held April 24 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the All-Purpose Room of the North Greene Elementary School in Roodhouse. The public is encouraged to drop in to view the display, enjoy refreshments and compliment the young artists of the North Greene area.

Having a helper around also provides companionship during tedious projects. n Turn electricity off at the panel box. Be especially cautious when working with electricity, turning off the current. This means shutting down the power on the breaker box.

A live wire can provide a minor shock or lead to serious injury. Take the extra time to ensure the power is off before working with any exposed wiring. n Expect the unexpected.

Although many renovation projects go off without a hitch, you never know what you might uncover when you embark on repairs or remodels. Homeowners have come across all sorts of hidden problems when doing seemingly minor repairs. Some people take down old paneling, only to discover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath. One repair project can run into another when home improvements are being made.

Always leave breathing room in your budget and schedule extra time for unforeseen tasks as well.

'Tis the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting home supply retailers to buy everything from paint to plywood. There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own, including the opportunity to test your mettle at projects big and small.

Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the following are a handful of lessons first-timers can heed before beginning their maiden voyages into the world of DIY home improvements. n Measure twice, cut once.

Perhaps this is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it. Whether you're anxious to get started or simply because you still cannot convert metric to standard formula, you must take the time to measure twice before cutting.

Learning that you're a hair too short later will be prove frustrating and time-consuming and often necessitates a last-minute run to the store for more materials. Always measure multiple times before making cuts. n Enlist a helper. Having a partner helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person can assist you with heavy lift-

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steely Dan will perform at the 2014 Illinois State Fair. The Grammy Award-winning band, which has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, will bring its "Jamalot Ever After" Tour to the fair Friday, Aug. 15.

"I'm thrilled Steely Dan is coming to the Illinois State Fair," State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick said. "They are on our list of bands that are frequently requested by fairgoers."

Steely Dan released a string of Top 20 hit songs in the 1970s, including such classic rock staples as "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," "Do It Again," "Hey Nineteen," "Reelin' In the Years" and "Deacon Blues." Its 2000 album, "Two Against Nature," the band's first record in 20 years, won a Grammy Award from the recording industry for "Album of the Year."

Tickets for the show, which range in price from $29 for a Tier 3 Grandstand seat to $54 for a VIPit track ticket in front of the stage, will go on sale Saturday, May 3, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

The fair also announced today: Singer and songwriter Hunter Hayes, the youngest, solo, male act ever to reach the top of the Hot Country Songs chart, will take the Grandstand stage for a concert Wednesday, Aug. 13. Hayes already has six hit singles to his credit, including "Wanted," which reached number one just after his 21st birthday in September of 2012. His second album, "Storyline," is scheduled to be released in May. The first single from the album, "Invisible," climbed to number four on the country music charts. Tickets for the Hayes concert, which also go on sale May 3, will cost between $29 and $49.

Track and VIPit tickets for the Aug. 10 performance of Florida Georgia Line are sold out. Reserved seats, however, are still available through Ticketmaster and can be purchased either online at www.ticketmaster. com/, by phone at 800-745-3000 or in person at all Ticketmaster outlets.

Good seats also remain for the Boston/Sweet/April Wine concert Tuesday, Aug. 12, and the Jake Owen concert Saturday, Aug. 16.

The 2014 Illinois State Fair will be held Aug. 7 - 17. For more information about the Grandstand entertainment line-up, visit the fair's website at illiniosstatefair.info or call (217) 782-1979.

TRI-COUNTY REAL ESTATE TOUR FEATURED LISTING OF THE WEEK 25 ACRES

located at Intersection of North June and East Fairgrounds in Jerseyville.

This tract is currently being farmed but is platted as phase one for further development.

This property is located in one of Jerseyville’s fastest growing areas.

How to honor servicemen and women Men and women serving in the military make considerable sacrifices in defense of the United States and its citizens. Such sacrifices can easily be taken for granted by those with no friends or family members serving in the military, but it's important for all Americans to recognize the efforts of both active and veteran servicemen and women.

Honoring active military members and veterans does not have to be an elaborate undertaking. Service members and their families often cherish even the simplest of gestures, and the following are a handful of ways grateful men and women can show their appreciation to active and retired members of the military. n Help a neighbor who's on active duty. Active duty service members can be away from their families for long periods of time, and their absence can

make things difficult for their families.

Spouses of deployed service members are typically left to manage a household on their own for months at a time.

Neighbors can show their appreciation by helping with some chores around the house. Offer to mow a neighbor's lawn or drive a neighbor's kids to school. Such gestures might seem small, but they can go a long way toward alleviating some of the stress that spouses of deployed service members deal with on a daily basis. n Support the Wounded Warrior Project. Many service members sustain physical injuries while deployed. The Wounded Warrior Project works to raise awareness and enlist the public's help to address the needs of injured service members. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to injured service members can work with the Wounded Warrior Project by vol-

unteering at project-sponsored events or hosting fundraising events such as golf tournaments or community picnics. More information about working with the Wounded Warrior Project is available at www. woundedwarriorproject.org. n Write a letter of appreciation.

One of the simplest ways to show your support for service members is to write them a letter expressing that appreciation. If a friends, relatives or neighbors are active service members or veterans, sit down and write a letter telling them how much you appreciate their sacrifice in service of their country, and encourage youngsters to do the same.

If you don't know any members of the military, you can work with A Million Thanks (www.amillionthanks.org), a year-round campaign that encourages Americans to write letters or emails or send cards or prayers to U.S. military

PUBLIC NOTICE

personnel, past and present to thank them for their sacrifices, dedication and service. n Exercise your right to vote. One of the best ways to honor servicemen and women is to avoid taking the rights they so bravely defend for granted.

Members of the military routinely put their lives on the line so Americans can enjoy freedoms that many people across the globe cannot. Voting is one such freedom, so Americans should make it a point to vote every ElectionDay and teach their kids about the responsibility each American has to vote and take an interest in their government. Speak with active and veteran members of the military about their thoughts on proposed legislation and their opinions on how to improve that legislation, taking those opinions into consideration before casting your vote.

County Illinois House examining IHSA Greene scores, results SAM ELLIOTT

Calhoun News-Herald The Illinois General Assembly’s House Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education will conduct subject matter hearings questioning and examining the funding, protocols and practices of the Illinois High School Association.

House Resolution 895 — sponsored

by Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia (D-Aurora) — was approved by the state’s House of Representatives in a 55-51 vote Monday, April 7.

The resolution calls for the education committee to conduct hearings concerning “the administration and funding of high school sports, the safety of high school athletes, the systems and protocols of the IHSA, the costs and income associated with the administration of high school sports (including any trademarks or copyrights claimed by the IHSA) and the feasibility of statutorily transferring the duties and functions of the IHSA to the Illinois State Board of Education.”

While dates and details of the hearings have not yet been finalized, the IHSA intends to cooperate fully.

“We wish Rep. Chapa LaVia had provided the courtesy of discussing any issues she believes exist within our organization prior to the introduction of this resolution, which has unfairly cast the [IHSA] in a negative light,” IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said in a statement released Monday, April 7. “While we believe the hearings she proposes will be an unnecessary strain on the time and resources of both the General Assembly and the IHSA, we welcome the opportunity to clear up any misconceptions this resolution has created.”

While introducing the resolution to the Illinois House of Representatives, Chapa LaVia said it is no longer her intention for the State Board of Education to take over the IHSA’s operations.

“This legislation is about demanding transparency and accountability from an organization that oversees the health, safety and educational development of thousands of Illinois students,” Chapa LaVia said in a statement released by the Illinois Press Association Wednesday, April 2. “Citizens throughout Illinois have been calling for more transparency in government. With the General Assembly once again facing difficult budget decisions, it’s reasonable for the taxpayers of this state to know how the IHSA is spending the funds it is bringing in. I applaud the Illinois Press Association

for bringing this to my attention.”

The IPA and the Illinois Broadcasters Association have announced their support for House Resolution 895.

“We thank Rep. Chapa LaVia for introducing this resolution,” IPA Executive Director Dennis DeRossett said. “The IHSA is presently subject to almost no accountability or oversight, they claim to be exempt from both the Freedom of Information Act and Open Meetings Act and they argue that they alone should control any revenue that is ultimately derived from taxpayerfunded sporting events. It should be public knowledge how much revenue is being generated by these events and other exclusive arrangements, along with what percentage or amount of that revenue is being remitted back to the local school districts.”

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the IHSA is not subject to Illinois’ Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of Information Act. “To be criticized for that when it doesn’t apply to us is borderline ridiculous,” Hickman told Jim Taylor of WRMJ in Aledo in a radio interview Friday, April 4.

The IHSA’s audits, financial statements and annual report to its members are all available for public viewing online at its website, www.IHSA.org.

“We really feel like we’ve been good corporate citizens in this state,” Hickman told WRMJ. “We have a balanced budget, we do fund our pension, we have a system where we don’t charge schools dues, we don’t charge schools entry fees, we returned $2.7 million to schools last year in revenue and I would put our record up against the state’s at any time.”

Schools’ voluntary enrollment in the IHSA has included waived membership dues for more than 10 years. Revenue from the IHSA’s most profitable events — the football and boys basketball state championships, which brought in just more than $2 million each last year — and its corporate sponsors is used to offset the costs of the organization’s events, which operate at a deficit. State championships for sports such as cross country, golf, tennis, water polo, gymnastics and others lose the IHSA money annually, as do events such as the state chess tournament, speech competition, scholastic bowl and journalism contest.

For the 2012-13 school year, the IHSA’s net proceeds were less than $56,000.

Rep. C. D. Davidsmeyer (R-Jacksonville) — whose 100th District includes Jersey, Greene, Calhoun, Pike

and make divisions and yeah there have been times we probably felt we should have had certain things or assignments, but I’ve seen how they do it and they’re looking out for the best interest of every school involved.”

High schools that commonly host regional and sectional playoff tournaments gain a financial benefit from their involvement with the IHSA in addition to the home-court advantage its teams enjoy during that round of the postseason.

“It’s pretty beneficial for the schools to host regionals and sectionals, especially for a school our size with a limited budget,” Calhoun High School athletic director Ryan Graner said. “We can get some money back for our athletic programs by hosting those. It’s a major help when we’re trying to stretch every penny as much as we possibly can.”

Supporters of Resolution 895 claim the upcoming hearings with the IHSA will prove beneficial in examining how athletics at the state’s publicly funded high schools are managed by the IHSA. “To reiterate, this is only a resolution, not a substantive piece of legislation,” Sandy Macfarland, chairman of the government relations committee for the IPA, said. “It’s non-binding. Like Rep. Chapa LaVia, we are anxious to see what information is learned at these hearings.

I think it’s time we have a discussion concerning the financial and public policy implications of continuing to blindly outsource a profitable and easily sold product — in this case, high school sports — to a seemingly unaccountable third party. Only after these hearings, based on what is learned — or perhaps not learned — do we think the General Assembly ought to initiate legislation.”

Those who feel the IHSA doesn’t need state government oversight or intervention question the timing of the resolution, which comes at a time in which area high schools have seen the state come up short on its funding to local districts.

“It just seems to me like the state should have bigger fish to fry right now than trying to go after an organization that is above water and not charging schools and is providing all these services for schools,” Graner said.

“It’s not like there’s been any major breakdown with our state organization that runs athletics.”

and Scott counties — was among those to vote against House Resolution 895, citing the IHSA’s generation of private funds as one reason why.

“The IHSA has private money that comes in to support them. They have boards made up of the people they represent. I think that’s kind of a good reason to leave them alone and let the people affected by it maintain it, especially with private dollars,” Davidsmeyer said. “I understand the close relationship because they do run the athletics for the high schools, but I don’t think that more government regulation of it will help anything.”

The predominant public opinion voiced to Davidsmeyer convinced him state government intervention into the IHSA is unnecessary.

“The main reason that I was against it was because I had people from our school districts contacting me telling me that the IHSA is doing a pretty good job and they don’t believe the ISBE is able to take on anything else,” he said. “I didn’t have anybody say this is a great thing or that we should really work on this. All the people I heard from said this is a bad idea. Why would we think about doing it?”

As a coach and athletic director at Carrollton High School, Greg Pohlman has been involved with the IHSA for more than 30 years. He’s spent time serving on various boards and committees within the organization and has seen firsthand how the IHSA is governed and kept accountable by its own membership.

“They have an executive director and a board of directors that governs the IHSA, but they are directly governed by the principals and representatives of the schools who are members of the IHSA,” Pohlman said. “The people who are in charge of the IHSA now — I’ve known Marty Hickman most of my adult life — you’re not going to find a better, more fair, understanding or concrete guy who has a love for not only sports, but for academics as well.”

While issues such as private schools competing against public schools, the number of classes and divisions per sport and geographical postseason assignments are common complaints faced by the IHSA, Pohlman feels the association consistently does its best to serve and benefit its large, diverse membership of schools.

“Any governing body — whether it be the state legislature, a school board or the Boy Scouts — there will always be people that feel there’s a problem and that there’s an easy fix,” he said.

“You’re not going to make everybody happy. I’ve seen how they draw lines

Carrollton High School junior Cody Leonard clears the high jump bar Friday at the annual Jersey Relays at the Don Snyders Sports Complex in Jerseyville.

In each of the Hawks' first two track and field meets this seson, Leonard tied the Carrollton High School record in the high jump at 6 feet, 6 inches. The record was first set by Matt Roundcount in 1999. Leonard narrowly edged North Greene junior Logan Ross for first place in the event at a four-team meet Tuesday, April 8, in Carrollton. Ross — who previously tied the Spartans' high jump school record at 6 feet, 6 inches, at an indoor meet earlier this season — has gotten as high as 6 feet, 4 inches, during outdoor competition. Leonard's effort currently ranks him tied for second, while Ross is fifth, among all Illinois Class 1A high jumpers this season according to DyeStatIL.com. michaelrweaver.com
