Carrollton creating internal auditor position By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council discussed, at length, creating the position of internal auditor to replace the city comptroller position it currently has. City Attorney Anne Clough said the current structure doesn’t really work for the city anymore. “The city clerk used to be a parttime job and our budget wasn’t nearly as big as it is now,” Clough said. “This structure worked back then. But since then the treasurer was made a full-time position requiring an experienced finance person to manage a budget which is much bigger.” It became apparent that the city doesn’t necessarily need the position of comptroller the way it was set up in the city’s ordi-

nances. Former treasurer Suzanne Roundcount also acted as city comptroller. When the new administration took over last May, the comptroller position was split from the treasurer. Debbie Dunlap is now the treasurer and city clerk Ryan Scott has been acting as comptroller until the new fiscal year, which begins on May 1. “Six or seven months ago we talked about creating some kind of internal auditor to review the finances and make sure everything is done the way it is supposed to be,” Clough said. “I expected in our last audit that the auditors would make some suggestions about internal controls that we are lacking and they didn’t really do that, so since then I have been kind of pondering, do we create another job just so we have a job at the city to occupy or is this

this auditing?” Alderwoman Sharon Butler thought the position of internal auditor, even if done by someone

in-house, should be created. “One person being responsible for this is not the way a business should be run unless you own it and we don’t own it,” Butler said. “By all means, I think we need someone doing checks and balances.” Alderman Tom Wilson agreed. “I would like to take it a step further and see the auditor report at least to the finance committee if not the entire council,” he said. “I agree we should have checks and balances. There are too many cases around the state of stuff going on. Personally, I think the bigger waste of money is the money we pay for auditors. I understand, however, there is not a way around this.” The comptroller receives a salary of $1,000 a year. Butler wanted to know if there was some reason Scott couldn’t continue to do the

job. Clough said that because of the way the Illinois statutes are written that it an appointed position to be appointed by the mayor. Clough said she had a list of what she thought the job should entail, but it would have to be memorialized into an ordinance to take effect and would have to be done before the end of April. The council unanimously approved creating the position of internal auditor with the job description and salary to be set at a later date. Still on the subject of job descriptions, Butler said she thought there should be job descriptions for every position in the city. “I don’t think anybody knows what anybody else does around here, and I think there should be a job description for each job,” she (See, auditor, A2)

Finding a document filed in Greene County Courthouse will soon be made much easier when more than 60 years of records will be put into a computer database for easier search and retrieval. The courthouse contains documents dating back as far as 1821, when the county was created. More than 20 years ago, the county implemented a fee account called recorders updating. “So much of every document that is recorded here goes into this account which is specifically for restoring old records,” Greene County Clerk Debbie Banghart said. “We have been saving the money in this account for over 20 years. We spent a little bit putting plastic covers on some of the older books, but now that we have those done we decided it was time to start on this phase.” The county has been computerizing its records since 1997 but prior to this they are not contained in any database. “If you are looking for a document under John Doe from 1975, you will not be able to find it in the computer – you’ll have to go to the book for that year and it all depends on what kind of document you are looking for,” Banghart said. “Anything recorded since 1997 is indexed and all you have to do is do a search on the name and it comes up on the computer along with

the documents.” The task is not going to be something that is going to get completed overnight. “Abstractors are the ones who come in looking for documents the most, so we are going to start with just the land deeds and go back 60 years from 1997 when we started inputting them into the computer,” Banghart said. “Eventually, we hope to get to the mortgages, liens, miscellaneous records, etc., but those are not as important. Those have an ending point where a deed goes on forever. It’s how you track ownership of property for real estate.” Banghart said they are still looking at companies who will come in and photograph the documents and put them in a database. County employees will still have to physically input the data. “It is basically going to be pictures of the actual documents, not the information on those documents,” Banghart said. “We will have to go in and put the information from these documents into the database. We have actually tried to do some of this ourselves already, but it is so time consuming for us to go in and scan those pictures and then put them into the system.” Banghart said right now they have about $50,000 in the recorders updating account. “They have companies who will come in and do a cost study for us first to see how much it is actually going to cost,” Banghart said. “From there we will decide (See, records, A2)

Carrollton City Council members decided to postpone the hiring of part-time summer help for the street department until its next meeting because they need to decide where the money to pay these workers is going to come from. At the finance meeting held before the regular council meeting on April 16, there was discussion of raising the water rates by the water and sewer committee to shore up the city’s accounts, but the committee could not come up with a recommendation so it was tabled until the next meeting. Alderwoman Sharon Butler suggested the city not hire any summer help this year. “I think this is some place the city could save a little money,” Butler said. “We are wanting to raise water rates and we don’t ever show that we are trying to help out and this is one way we could help out – by not hiring summer help.” Mayor David Stendeback saw it as a good thing. “I just feel like we are hiring someone from this community that is paying their water bills and taxes and it kind of helps out on that,” he said. “Plus, we get good work out of these guys.” Alderman Sean Walker said he always likes giving kids in the community a job during the summer. Alderman Tom Wilson agreed with the altruism involved but basically said the city cannot afford it. “The problem I have is the financial report we just had,” he said. “We only have a surplus of $12,000.” City Treasurer Debbie Dunlap,

who presented the financial report to the committee earlier, said the financial picture is not as bleak as it looks. “I agree with you 100 percent, but the current rates included one guy last year so the rates that were projected for next year, I just used last year’s salary so I guess in a way it is kind of built in,” she said. “Not 100 percent, but Mike (Snyder) will have a little bit of control because he is divvying out his own expenses so if he wants summer help then he has to find a way to make it work.” The city can use Motor Fuel Tax funds to pay for summer help, but workers can only be paid out of that fund if they are doing something related to the streets or sidewalks. “If we say we are only going to use MFT funds to pay them, then they can’t be doing anything other than sidewalks and streets,” Snyder said. “That means if we have a water leak and we have to go to it, I have to send them home rather than send them say to the park to weed eat. If I’m restricted to MFT money, then I can’t have them to do anything else.” It was suggested that their wages could be split 50/50 between MFT funds and the general funds. Wilson asked Snyder if he had money in his budget to pay for the summer help but Snyder did not know because he said he has not seen his budget yet. “I guess I would go ahead with the process and when you get your budget you can come back to us,” Wilson said. Snyder said if he was restricted to using MFT funds he would rather have two guys instead of three. It was decided to take applications and decide how many to hire (See, council, A2)

This is the site of one of greene County's more unusual theft cases . Someone stole a metal and wood bridge over a creek on County road 800N in Kane Township . Actually the bridge had not been used in over 25 years but since it is government property the taking of such material is considered a felony .

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Whether it’s a sign of a lull in the local economy or just an elaborate prank – a stolen bridge in Greene County is turning out to be the oddest crime of the century. “I’ve gotten reports of all kinds of stolen things but I can, with all honesty, say in all my years of law enforcement, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone steal a bridge before,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said. It is not known just exactly when C

the 20-foot long by 10-foot wide bridge, made of iron and wood, was removed from Kane Township because, according to a resident who lives in the area, the bridge has not been in use for more than 25 years. The bridge was over a creek on the County Road 800N, but the road leading to the bridge on both sides is virtually impassable with deep ruts, crumbling culverts, etc. Basically, farmers have created a road, which is only passable in dry weather, over a low point in the creek. McMillen said there could be a possible break in the case as he

noticed a pile of iron located about eight miles from the site of where the bridge had been located. He said there wasn’t enough evidence to say for sure that this was, in fact, the missing bridge, but the person on whose property the missing iron pieces were located is cooperating, and denies the iron is from the missing bridge. Because township bridges are considered government owned property, it is considered a felony to steal one in Illinois. McMillen said it is possible charges will be fined in the case by next week.

job descriptions could do more harm than good. “You have to worry that when you get someone pinned down with ‘this is your job description’ then they don’t want do anything else,” she said. Butler said it wouldn’t be a problem because the job description could have the specific details of that job in addition to the caveat “plus any other thing asked of you.”

A $1,000 donation was approved to the North Greene Chamber of Commerce to go towards advertising for the Civil War reenactment in White Hall this summer. Also approved was the replacement of a pipe culvert in Bluffdale Township on Township Road 32. Estimated cost of the project is $12,000 with the county and township splitting the cost. Work will be done by Greene County workers. Board member Mike Kiger was appointed to the board of Prairie Council on Aging at the request of the agency who felt it should have someone from the county on their board.

Extension update: Applying pond herbicides

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

April 6, 2014, David Bishop was lay minister at the Rockbridge Methodist Church. Kathy Mears was pianist. Reverend Tim Gossett of the Greenfield and Rockbridge Methodist Churches and Nancy Longmeyer of the Rockbridge church were on the Walk to Emmaus. During World War II, my brotherin-law Richard “Dick” Robinson was injured in the European Theater. He was taken into Switzerland where he lived with a couple who had a small farm. Swiss cows, fowl, garden, etc. They made music boxes of small log cabin Swiss house. When Dick left, they gave to him a house and a cow bell. He met my sister Melba Love at Blackburn College and hung the bell on our parents’ front porch. They married, had their family, have a home here in Greenfield, his cremains and many friends in Oak Wood Cemetery. Saturday Clifton and Shirley Hammon (my kids) came down for their “inside and outside therapy”. Clifton came in laughing, ringing a bell and said, “Mother, look what I found out back in your shed!: Yes, it is the bell. Each afternoon I telephone Mel who lives in Fountain, Colo. We pray and sing. She laughed aloud when I told here about the bell - Clifton and Shirley will take it to her. She and I sang Al Jolsen’s “Tie me to your apron string again, I know there’s room for me upon your knee, I thought that I was right, but I was wrong.” Once upon a time my son Clifton and I were remembering people who lived in various houses around Greenfield.. He mentioned Dr. and Mrs. Bulger’s home on North Main Street. Patty Self lives there now. North of me is Jared, Val and Josie Garner. Bob and Helen Langley had the home built. Clifton remembers it as Harry Garner’s and family - Bob, Smilie, Jim, Gayla and Robin. Of interest to me is the Greg Thornton on Mulberry east of me. In the 1800’s Samuel Boyd of Louisville, Ky. Married Kate Jennings (my great aunt) had that house built for them to live in while the children were in school. He homesteaded on a farm (I wrote before) on the northwest of Scottville. Camerers live there now. The Boyds came to Greenfield via CB&Q Railroad. My earliest recollection of people living in the Boyd Greenfield home were Jack and Dora Ross in 1935. Elmer, Francis and Audree Waltrip, Horace Sr. and Ruth Armold, Horace Jr., Barbara, Danny and Jim Armold, Arthur (Bunny), Wilma, Monzi and Greg Thornton. The lost is found! Vickie Robinson Tiffany of Fountain, Colo. has located a Greenfield Tiger, Jim McKenzie of Phoenix, Ariz. They are ‘set in their ways’. They call the Greene Prairie Press the Greenfield Argus. When living in Greenfield, McKenzie resided with his parents, James and Helen Stickel McKenzie and sisters Becky and Jan - Wooley property originally corner of Prairie and Mulberry Streets. When Clifton was born Dec. 18, 1957 we had a legal leather Log Of Life Book purchased from Mr. Leon Middleton’s drug store. It started with parents’ fingerprints, baby’s hand and foot, birth certificate, Dr. de Quevada’s signature and Reverend Wm. Meeker’s baptism, record of teeth, shots, diseases, grades one through Blackburn College, eighth

grade, Greenfield High School diploma, Blackburn diploma, marriage certificate to Shirley Cole with signatures of Reverend Al, All Cole, William Dale and Mary Love Hammon, Bobby and Patricia Groves. For sale signs make us sad, however, when parents pass away their children are grown, married and usually have become grandparents. This necessitates selling. For 79 years I lived on Mulberry and Broadway Streets. 907 Mulberry with my parents Nile and Caroline Jennings Love (d), brother Elmer Love and sister Melba Love Robinson - from 1935. Dad and Dale, mom and I took white oak logs to Jerd Wise (Geraldine Duba’s father’s mill). We built and Dick Robinson wired - Rich Wilhite did the plumbing. The tornado tore mom’s house down around her. Ours was badly damaged; Dale and Clifton rebuilt it. Just now I talked to my sister over the telephone. She was having a good day - she led in prayer and laughed a couple of times. Clifton and Shirley Hammon spent two weeks at their vacation home in Phoenix. Brothers and wives Everett Cole, James Cole - sister Patricia Cole Groves and husband Bobby own condos in the area. Golfing, tennis, barbequing were in abundance. Nancy Mansfield spent the Easter vacation in Olatha, Kan. with her daughter Julie and Kansas sons. Nancy met her great-grandson Carter Michael King. Amelia Burger and Lois Vineyard enjoyed the fish fries during Lent at the KC Hall in Carrollton. When I have fish, Debbi, my fairy godmother, fries apples for me! Form Jan. 1, 1958 through Dec. 31, 1962 I kept a daily journal of Clifton’s growth, sayings, playmates, etc. the other day he was reading here and then he laughed and read to Shirley. Dale and I took Clifton with us bowling in Carlinville, He told his grandparents, “Dad can’t bowl good like mawner. He knocks the pins down and hers go down the gutter like they’re posta go.” When my neighbor lady opened her mail box, a big toad greeter her with no postage stamps! Quite an effort. Belated happy birthday to Mary Jennings. Her family moved the celebration to a Sunday when all could be together at Heritage in Carlinville. Will (my cousin) said, “She’ll be home soon.” Til next time!

On Nov. 1, 2011 the federal requirement for a Non Point Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for certain pesticide applications went into effect. Illinois EPA (IEPA) is the lead agency on the NPDES permit process. This affects pond owners who apply aquatic herbicides or have someone apply these products. IEPA will issue permit coverage under the General NPDES permit for pesticide applications directly to, over or at water’s edge for waters of the State, using products that are labeled for aquatic use. If you apply pesticides to water, such as to drainage ditches, streams, or other waters of the state, you will need to obtain an NPDES pesticide permit. Private landowners are not exempt from obtaining a permit if they themselves apply pesticides to such waters even on their own private property.

If you apply pesticides to a pond with an overflow outlet, you will need to obtain an NPDES pesticide permit. Private ponds that have no overflow outlet or are not otherwise hydrologically connected to waters of the State do not require an NPDES permit for pesticide application. Entities or operators who wish to apply for an NPDES permit may go to the IEPA website at http:// www.epa.state.il.us/water/permits/ pesticide/index.html and submit a “Notice of Intent” (NOI) to apply for coverage under the General NPDES permit. There is currently no fee for an NPDES pesticide permit. For questions that relate directly to the permitting process, you should contact the IEPA Division of Water Pollution Control Permit Section at (217) 782-0610.

Master Gardeners host plant exchange University of Illinois Extension Calhoun-Cass-Greene-Morgan-Scott County Master Gardeners will be hosting a Plant Exchange on Sunday, April 27 from 2 to 4 pm at the Greene County Extension office. This is the third year for this event and it is becoming an annual favorite among local gardeners. “Spring is an excellent time to thin perennials from the garden or start new plants in the garden,” says Michelle Berg Vogel, University of Illinois Extension, agriculture and natural resources program coordinator. “The plant exchange gives gardeners an outlet for plants they are willing to part with or share and also provides the opportunity to add plants to their gardens.” Berg Vogel adds that the plant exchange is an excellent way for new gardeners to add plants to their garden. The way the plant exchange works

is participants bring a plant and exchange it for a plant someone else brings. Participants are asked to bring plants in pots or plastic bags. Any kind of healthy plant is welcome, except invasive plants, but including house plants. Everyone is welcome to participate in the plant exchange, and those who are interested in the Master Gardener program are invited to come and meet the Master Gardeners. A $2 donation is requested to help support the Master Gardener program. The Master Gardeners are volunteers trained through University of Illinois Extension in all aspects of gardening. For more information about the plant exchange or the local Master Gardener program contact Michelle Berg Vogel at mbergv@illinois.edu or 618-653-4687. The Greene County Extension office is located just north of Carrollton on Highway 67.

‘Willy Wonka Jr.’ wows the NGHS audience By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press As Shakespeare said in Hamlet the play is the thing. This is certainly true at North Greene High School after the students gave a very memorable performance of “Willy Wonka, Jr.” earlier this month. For two hours, the stage in the old gymnasium was transformed into Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory. A tremendous amount of work went into creating these two performances for eight weeks prior to show time. Willy Wonka Jr., played by Sean Fulton, has no heirs to leave his factory to so he decides that he will put a golden ticket in five candy bars and whoever is lucky enough to get one of those will have the opportunity to one day take over the company. For the past eight seasons, the annual play has been directed by Cindy Rice, Beth Burrus, Barb Neece and Karen Voigts. Lesa Jackson joined the ladies several years ago and together they have managed to make each show just a little bit better than the last, as was evidenced by this year’s attendance. “We estimate that attendance at both performances of this set a record for us,” Voigts said. “There was a much bigger attendance than we had anticipated because we ran out of programs, which I regret.” The cast included seasoned veterans from prior performances along with freshmen who were appearing on stage for the first time. “A lot of the kids were learning from square one on how we develop the show, how to react to what’s going on onstage and how to adlib and improvise when necessary,” Voights said. “It takes time to develop these skills, so many times the fruits of their labors weren’t seen until the week of the show or during the actual performances.” So how does this group of ladies manage to get such stellar performances even from rookies? “We teach the cast that, on stage, they become their character - they cannot embarrass themselves onstage by acting silly or exagerating because they are not themselves - they are the character,” Voigts said. “The kids take this philosophy to heart and learn to step way outside of their comfort zone to portray their characters. In the end, I think they become very comfortable in their roles and the improvisation improves from performance to performance.” Faced with a very limited budget, often times much improvisation is done in just about every facet of the

performance from the costumes down to even the makeup used for the bright orange faces of the Oompa Loompas. “The Oompa Loompa makeup was a dilemma that wasn’t solved until the night before dress rehearsal,” Voigts said. “I had plans in the works to mix a cream base makeup with a lipstick shade called Persimmon to create the orange needed. I would have had to mix it all at the same time so they would all be the same color, so I would have had one shot at doing it right, which made me very nervous.” As luck would have it, however, the daughter of one of the other directors who now lives in St. Louis was able to help out. “She told me she lives near a theatrical business that sells Oompa Loompa’ makeup,” Voigts said. “She called them, went to see it, purchased it for us, was instructed on how to apply it and delivered it to another director in Alton the night before dress rehearsal.” Applying the make up was a cinch - getting it off was another story. “Since it was new to us, we didn’t know all the tricks about it and getting it off,” Voigts said. “We always make the actors put Noxema on their faces before stage makeup is applied to make it easier to remove, but it appears that the Oompa Loompa makeup was especially hard to remove. Some of the kids still had orange on their face from the night before.” No performance is perfect but it is these little imperfections which will make everyone remember 20 years from now. “During the song ‘In This Room Here,’ the scene in which the three rotating doors are rolled across the stage, at one point during Saturday’s performance, the doors became top heavy and started to fall over,” Voigts said. “I have a wonderful picture of an Oompa Loompa holding it up and righting it again. I remember holding my breath when that happened.” One thing was for certain - parents knew better than to tell their kids to “break a leg.” “You might have noticed leg and knee braces on more than one of the actors,” Voigts said. “At one point during the practices, there were more than one on crutches - they were able to walk, but not dance. We joked about putting on the ‘handicapped’ version of “Willy Wonka, Jr.” with all the cast in wheelchairs.” Voigts noted that none of the injuries happened during rehearsals for the show. One can’t have a musical unless there are song and dance numbers, and “Willy Wonka Jr.” had quite a few which fit into the directors’ plans

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

North Greene senior Sean Fulton headed up this year's production of "Willy Wonka Jr." Cast and crew rehearsed for eight weeks for the two performances held on April 12-13. Both performances were well attended attested, to by the fact they ran out of programs on Sunday.

perfectly. “We like having lots of song and dance numbers that involve a lot of the cast,” Voigts said. “We want as many of our stars on the stage during as much of the show as possible. They know if they are going to be in our shows that they will be doing a lot of singing and dancing.” These song and dance numbers are made easier because North Greene is blessed to have many talented singers and dancers. “This group of kids are especially blessed with beautiful voices,” Voigts said. “Our choreographer, Barb Neece, is great at getting our ‘non-dance oriented’ cast members into the swing of things. Also, we had a great group of cheerleaders in this show who were helpful in teaching the dance steps to the others.” Perhaps the most memorable scene in the show was when Violet Beauregard literally “blew up” on stage.

“Violet took from Willy Wonka and stuck in her mouth and chewed an Everlasting Gobstopper, which was the new gum invention that changed flavors like a three course meal ending in blueberry ice cream,” Voigts said. “Violet was the first to try it because it had not been perfected yet. Wonka was concerned about how the dye would affect her, and rightly so because she turned into a blueberry.” She wore an inflatable sumo wrestler costume under her specially made blue dress and at the appropriate time someone behind her flipped the switch on the little motorized fan attached to the sumo suit, which drew air in to inflate it. “She then waited a bit and discreetly undid her belt, which was attached to the dress in the back,” Voigts said. “Modifications were made to the dress during rehearsals to allow the fan to draw in enough air to inflate the suit. You know what they say - timing is everything.”

At the end of a production, there are always mixed emotions - relieved they made it through it and gave the audience a good performance - yet sad that the experience is over. “We are always very satisfied and pleased when a show comes together on stage. In the eight musicals we have done, Cindy, who sits near the stage and directs the cast and crew, mostly with timing cues, has never prompted a cast member with a line during a performance...never,” Voigts said. But once the show comes to an end there comes a realization that all will soon change. “There is always a let down after a show is finished because we have rehearsed five to six days a week for eight weeks and spent much of our time outside of rehearsals working on details,” Voigts said. For a while we don’t know what to do with all our free time. We miss each other and we miss the kids - a lot.”

But there is no time to wallow in sadness too long. “Almost immediately we turn our focus to next year, although a decision on the next show will not be made for many months,” Voigts said. Cast and crew members who made “Willy Wonka, Jr.” memorable include: Sean Fulton, Alex Bright, Peyton Tucker, Alexis Hogan-Hobson, Lucas Elliott, Blaize Hall, Nathan Early, Samantha Jilg, David Malin, Ben Lewis, Onia Rutledge, Logan Elliott, Noah Jones, Randi Stone, Logyn Norris, Meredith Vincent, Bailey Evans, Halie Kraushaar, Steven Wahl, Laramie Chaffin, Ally Roesch, Jordyn Hoesman, Skye Dawdy, Madi Hinegardener, Maggie McMillen, Bethany Randall, Breigh Dawdy, Gypsy Hackenthal, Molly Dirksmeyer, Brianna Evans, Molly Haskell, Katie Dean, Brayden Roberts, Larissa Heberling, Titus Jones, Ian Cecile, Brittney Kraushaar, Rae Kirk, Timmy Ziegler and Trent Balcom.

Calvary Baptist Church news April 20. Sunrise Services at White Hall Rez at 6 a.m.. It was a beautiful morning. Bro. Baxter did the traditional Easter message, where Jesus arose from the grave. Everyone had a very uplifting experience. The men cooked breakfast afterwards. For church service Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements: Ladies Bible Study April 27 at 6 p.m.; April 27 Potluck after morning services. Birthdays: Dixie Campbell and Payton Campbell. Sis. Mary gave the Sunday school report. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led congregation in singing hymns. Penny March with Sis. Cindy as leader and Molly as helper took children downstairs for church. Tyler Renkin and Heather Renkin received delayed baptismal certificates. Bro. Brad sang a special “There’s Just Something About That Name”. Message by Bro. Baxter John 11: 1-43. A certain man named Lazarus of Bethany, who was Mary and Martha’s brother, sent word to Jesus saying he who you love is sick. Jesus said this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified. Jesus did not leave right away, but stayed where

he was two days. Then him and his disciples left for Bethany. Jesus told them Lazarus sleepeth but I go that I may awaken him out of sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly Lazarus is dead. When Jesus arrived he leaned Lazarus had lain in the grave four days already. Martha went to meet Jesus and said to Jesus, if thou hadst been here my brother had not died. Jesus told her you brother shall rise again. She said, I know he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. He asked where they had lain him. Jesus wept, as he groaned in the spirit and was troubled. He told Lazarus to come forth from the grave. He that was dead come forth. No church this evening, enjoy your families. 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.

CDA news What at beautiful day! Just right for the children’s Easter Egg Hunt. It was a great day to go to church, and if you didn’t, you missed a great blessing. The message was on the Last Supper. Communion was served at the end and a hymn sang. A really good fellowship preceded the services from 9 until time of service. The donuts were so good! Zach has a birthday coming up. He is growing in to a fine young man too fast for grandma. Good going Zach! He answered the question real good. The answer to the questions, What are the world’s seven great wonders? I didn’t write it right. I should have put ‘’not made by man’’. The answers are : sight, hearing, touching, tasting, feeling, breathing and love. Easter is found one time in the King James Bible, some others don’t have it al all. That’s in Acts 12:4. The question for this week is, which side of Christ, when on the cross, did the saved thief hang? Think twice about this. See if your electric pads tell you. Yes the hands and feet of Jesus were nailed, but it was our sins. Your sins now just drive the nails in a

little farther. So beware, when you sin remember that Jesus is not still on the cross, nor in the grave, but he lives again and he lives in your heart. We miss you when you are not at church and you miss a blessing. Be still and say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth so he must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. He who guards his lips, guards his soul. Proverbs 13:3. There is not beginning or end. Yesterday is history, today is a gift, and tomorrow is a mystery. It was so good to have the little ones in church. No better place for them to grow up. Our prayer list is the Akers family, Andy Ross, Grace Ross, Betty Newman, Ray and Patty Baldes, Ed Crabtree, Susan Kiefer, Melanie Mast, the Garner family, Robert Lawson, Jeff Clanton, Ann Ford. Marjorie also need your prayers. Come to Walkerville and try Jesus. If you don’t like him, the devil will always take you back. We love you at Walkerville and Jesus loves you and we all want to see you at church. See you Sunday at Walkerville Church.

Roodhouse City Council members approved the purchase of three backup pumps for the water plant at its regular April 16 meeting. The council discussed, at length, at the workshop meeting the week prior to the council meeting the need for the purchase of the additional pumps. “There are four different models of pumps used to feed the chemicals at the water plant,” Alderman Garrett Rogers said. “If one of those goes down, we are going to have to scramble to find another one. Nathan wants to have a backup inventory of pumps and fittings on hand should one of them go down.” The cost to purchase all four pumps would be around $6,400. Alderman Barb Alred said she would rather be safe than sorry. “I don’t think you should wait till the problem happens to get a pump,” she said. “I would hate to be in that situation – if he thinks he needs them then we should at least consider it.” The council agreed to purchase three backup pumps at a cost of around $5,200. These will be paid for out of the water account shortterm investments fund. The city received two estimates for front end repair on the 2003 Ford F-350 used by the street department. Chapman Auto submitted the low bid of $1,428.81. This includes rebuilding of the front end. The city purchased four new tires for this truck last month but was waiting for the front end repairs to be completed before installing the new tires. The council approved a payment resolution to Hutchison Engineering in the amount of $2,378 for a citywide blanket permit for the water projects. It also approved a motion to do work on the water tower if the city is approved on USDA loan. This would be money in the contingency fund from the USDA loan used to build the water plant, and must be spent before July 1. The water tower is 29 years old and Mayor Tom Martin said there are a few items that need addressing concerning the tower. “There is an expansion joint in the base of the tower a foot thick, and what it does is as the ground moves it allows that tower to not be stiff and rigid,” Martin said. “Because this froze this winter Tworiversoutdoors.com is your site for local hunting and fishing news.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” John 14:1-2

Visiting Graves

Last summer during a family reunion my parents, my brothers, and my sister and I, along with the children and in-laws, took a short excursion to the cemetery to visit some family gravesites. My parents grew up in the same small town, and all four of my grandparents’ graves are there, as well as the plots of extended family. All of my grandparents, and all of their siblings (my great aunts and uncles), are now gone, and so there is no denying the fact that my parents’ generation will be the next to “make the journey home,” as it were. When my paternal grandfather died, I distinctly remember having the realization

of how important it was for there to be an afterlife, because I really wanted to see him again. As we get older and lose more of our family we realize that we have family in two different realms, the here and the hereafter. None of us knows exactly what awaits us after death. That is just not part of the cosmic plan. Going to the family graves, especially in the company of your family, with all of the generations present, confirms that life does indeed go on, and provides hope and comfort that those who have gone before us await our homecoming.

they are thinking it would be a good idea to replace this expansion joint.” The city had received one bid from the company who built the tower and to fix the leak at the top of the tower and then fix the base would be around $10,000. To completely clean and paint the inside of the tower, put in the new expansion joint, fix the pipe that goes into the spear and pour new footing and foundation would be roughly $80,000. “Our engineer said that most of the people who they are getting estimates from would be 60 days out from doing any work,” Martin said. “We really should move fairly quick on this and hopefully get some better numbers on it.” Alderman Charles Huffines agreed. “We have the money sitting in one of our accounts and if we don’t use it we lose it,” he said. “This would put the tower in almost new condition.” In other action, the council approved: n The purchase of a police vest for Jimmy Buchanan at an amount to be specified at a later date. n Sending Everett Schofield to attend the 2014 IMUA Conference in Springfield May 15-16 and Mayor Martin to attend on Friday only at a cost of $325 and mileage. n Donation in the amount of $50 to the Relay For Life to sponsor Party in Pink relay team. n Appointing Elaine Bugos to the Library Board to serve the unexpired term of Julie Teno. n Joining the North Greene Chamber of Commerce at a cost of $35 for the annual dues.

Hospital gas card program helps cancer patients By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Cancer patients have enough to worry about without having to worry about where they are going to get the money to travel to get their cancer treatments. And with gas nearing $4 a gallon, it can take a significant chunk out of the budget. Boyd Hospital is trying to help out these cancer patients by providing gas cards for people to travel to and from their doctors appointments and cancer treatments. The Gas Cards for Cancer Program began in 2010 with a donation from the Wrightsville Trotters Relay For Life team. “The idea of the program was to provide cancer patients, most of whom travel a great distance for treatment, with a monthly monetary award in the form of a gift card to help with travel expenses,” Boyd Hospital Administrator Deb Campbell said. “The application process is simple – just fill out a personal information form and have the applicant’s physician fill out a form.” The Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Foundation was established in 2002 as a charitable organization to support Boyd Healthcare Services. The foundation is made up of nine members and one Boyd Healthcare Services Board representative.

This foundation currently manages and controls the Costello Trust, in addition to a scholarship program for the local high schools and general fundraising for Boyd Healthcare Services. “The goal of the foundation is to promote healthcare in the region, encourage development of healthcare providers, manage donations for givers and lead fundraising and support efforts to sustain Boyd Healthcare Services,” Campbell said. “Since its inception, the foundation has awarded over $18,000 to Greene County citizens to help with their travel expenses. The Foundation sends out an average of $1,000 per month in gas cards for its applicants.” Campbell said the same program is now available to residents living in Calhoun County. “Thanks to a donation from the Pluester family we were able to get this program started for the residents of Calhoun County,” Campbell said. “Since its inception in 2013, the Foundation has awarded over 20 gas cards totaling over $2,000.” If you are interested in donating to this program or applying for assistance from this program, please contact Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Foundation, Sarah Schmidt at 217-942-6946, ext. 1203 or email sschmidt@ boydhcs.org.

Piasa Winery and Pub Mushroom Festival Sunday By BoB CRoSSEN Greene Prairie Press The Piasa Winery and Pub in Grafton will host its 11th Mushroom Festival in 12 years after last year’s event was flooded out. Kathryn Jones, general manager of Piasa Winery and Pub, said people are craving the festival after nearly two years since the last event. Though flooding posed problems last year, Jones said rain is a tradition for the event. She said the weather will not hold back the festival. “The folks have already prepared their dishes by that day, so the only reason we would [cancel] is because of flooding or something like that,” Jones said. “We’ve had a lot more phone calls

and questions about it this year. … I think it will be an even bigger crowd than normal.” The Mushroom Festival is host to a competition for 10 chefs who will each bring their own personalized dish to the festival. Attendees will get a chance to sample each mushroom-themed food and vote for the best one. Two years ago, a mushroom cupcake took first place. Made with a candy cap mushroom from California, the small sweets left a maple syrup smell hanging in the air. Jones said she is not sure what is in store for the festival this year as the chefs are tightlipped about their creations. “Most of them won’t tell us. They want it to be a secret because they don’t want anybody to try and duplicate

it,” Jones said. “The chefs that have participated in the past are pretty big on keeping it a secret.” Jones said the Piasa Winery and

“They love to come to our festival. … I think it’s really the only bigger festival like this in the area.”

Kathryn Jones

General Manager of Piasa Winery and Pub Pub has a core community of people that visit on a regular basis for drinks and dinner with their friends, noting the

Mushroom Festival promotes the same kind of atmosphere. People travel from more than an hour away for the event, she said. “We always have newer people coming through, but we always have a large regular base and they’re from all over the place,” Jones said. “They love to come to our festival. … I think it’s really the only bigger festival like this in the area.” The Mushroom Festival will be held at the pub Sunday, April 27 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with live music. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on-site when they go on sale at 12 p.m. Up to 500 tickets will be sold.

was diagnosed with the rare spinal cord disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. Over time the cyst expands from within the cord outward. It compresses and injures nerve fibers causing extreme pain. Carrie Cox, an organizer for this weekend’s benefit, said fluid also builds up around the spinal cord, putting added pressure on the nervous tissue. Syringomyelia is just one of the health issues with which Marissa is dealing, and Cox said the benefit was created to help the Buchanan family financially as they look to visit the Mayo Clinic May 5. “She’s already done one trip to New York where they were unable to help her there,” Cox said, noting there is still not much known about the disorder. “She will now travel to the Mayo Clinic in search of treatment there.” The event organizer said the disorder has taken a great toll on Marissa’s parents, who have seen their daughter in a state of decline because of the rare spinal cord issue. In addition to the pain, Cox said Marissa has had her hardships, as well. Prior to the diagnosis, she was working at a hospital as part of her collegiate studies, but as the symptoms became worse, she was

unable to continue her job. Cox said Marissa is a familyoriented person who loves being around for other people, and at 23 years old, she’s also been unable to attend her friends’ weddings and other gatherings. “She’s pretty much bed-bound and housebound,” Cox said. “It’s very much affected her parents. They’re watching their child be very, very sick, and have no answers, no way to help her. “And also it’s been a very big toll on her. She’s 23. She’s watching all of her friends getting married and have children. She’s kind of stuck in a place where she’s happy for them but she wants to be part of their days and kids and she’s not able to.” The event organizer said the Mayo Clinic visit could be a turning point, however. Marissa would need two surgeries – one on her spinal cord and another on her brain – that would be quite costly to the family without additional help. The benefit will be hosted at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hardin April 26 starting at 2 p.m. Attendees will be treated to a hog roast in addition to live music, a 50/50 raffle and a host of other drawings, including a gun raffle and a television raffle. Those interested in the gun raffle will have to provide their FOID card before buying a ticket. The television up for raffle is a 32-inch flat screen. An auction for more than 75 items will begin at 6 p.m., she added, and all proceeds from the event will go to the family to supplement its medical expenses. Cox said there has been an outpouring of volunteers who have helped to plan and organize the event for Saturday, and said she is grateful for their help in putting the benefit together. Those who are unable to attend but would like to help the family may also donate by visiting the Bank of Kampsville, where monetary donations are accepted on behalf of the Buchanans. Cox said donors can also put money toward the American Syringomyelia and Chiari Alliance Project online by visiting asap.org.

Calhoun Nursing and Rehab offers options for therapy By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press They say with age comes wisdom – but what they don’t tell you is that aches and pains go right along with it. As we get older, we slow down somewhat – what might have been routine when we were 20 now seems a chore at 60; after all, those joints have 40 more years of wear and tear on them than at age 20. Thanks to medical technology, just about everything these days can be replaced but perhaps the most common replacements are the hip and knee replacements. Oh, if it only were as easy as going into the hospital, getting a titanium knee or hip, going home and getting on with life. But it’s not that way – both require intensive therapy and sometimes this leads to a stay in a nursing home, where many facilities have such therapy programs. Calhoun Nursing and Rehab, however, is able to offer these services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. As part of the Accelerated Care Plus (ACP) program they are able to offer a wide variety of occupational therapy, speech therapy and physical therapy program at the Hardin facility. “ACP’s specialized treatment programs are used by thousands of recognized skilled nursing facilities along with outpatient clinics and home health care agencies throughout the U.S. to improve patient care, quality of life and independence,” Director of Rehabilitation Kari Burton said. “These programs are implemented by the rehab provider’s therapy staff in conjunction with ACP’s professional clinicians and the patient’s doctor.” Described as safe, non-invasive and medication free, ACP’s programs have been developed around the med-

ical complexities of the geriatric population and have been used successfully for several years. Calhoun Nursing and Rehab has been participating in the program for eight years. Burton estimates that around 60

percent of the facilities 60 residents receive some kind of therapy from the ACP program. “They address a wide range of issues with therapy,” Burton said. “Everything from pain, edema, neuromuscular issues, stroke recovery, arthritis, COPD, carpal tunnel syndrome along with hip and knee replacements.” The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates more than half a million hip and knee replacements are performed each year. “Sometimes, even after having

the joint replaced, some patients still experience pain, swelling, muscle weakness and stiffness,” Burton said. “These problems can prevent them from resuming their normal activities and doing what they enjoy doing most.” The ACP program uses three advanced techniques which seem to help people resume a more active lifestyle. These include infrared therapy, therapeutic ultrasound along with therapeutic exercise and electrical stimulation. Research has shown that high frequency ultrasound waves along with red and ultra can help reduce pain and swelling to joints and muscles. A combination of slow and gentle stretching along with simple strengthening exercises in combination with mild electrical pulses can help improve range of motion in one’s joints and increase muscle strength. What sets Calhoun apart from other local facilities is its ability to offer therapy on an outpatient basis. “Anyone, whether or not they need to be in a nursing home environment or just physical therapy, can come here – we just have to check to see if our company is able to take their insurance,” Burton said. “All they need is a slip from their doctor saying they need physical therapy or any other form of therapy offered. Right now we even have a teenager coming here for therapy from a sporting accident.” Therapy is helping more and more patients be able to go back home. “We have 10 to 15 patients in our building who are trying to get back home,” Burton said. “They need the extra care until they are able to get back on their feet, but therapy will allow them to return home.”

Tips for retirees traveling abroad Men and women often dream of jetsetting around the world when they retire. Traveling the globe without worrying about timelines or what's going on back at the office is something many retirees reward themselves with after a life of hard work. As liberating as world travel can be, retirees still must exercise caution when traveling abroad. The following are a few safety tips for retirees who are ready to make their dream retirements a reality by setting off for parts unknown. n Stay in touch. Escapism is a big part of the attraction of travel for travelers young and old. But while you may want to avoid contact with the outside world on your travels, it's still necessary to stay in touch with your loved ones. Retirees who plan to take extended trips overseas should purchase an international mobile phone plan that allows them to use their phones regardless of what country they happen to be in. A quick text message to a son or daughter back home is all it takes to let your family know you are safe and having the time of your life. Work out a communication plan with your loved ones back home before departing, agreeing to contact them via phone call, email or Skype at least once per week for the duration of your trip. This is a good way to share your experiences and help your relatives rest easy knowing that you are safe. n Don't store all of your important documents in one place. When traveling overseas, it can be convenient to keep important items like traveler's cheques, credit cards, passports, and identification in one place. However, storing all of your sensitive documents or financial items in one place is very risky, as a lost or stolen bag can leave you without identification or access to your funds. When traveling, couples should carry their own passports on their persons and split up credit cards and traveler's cheques. This way you still have access to your funds, and one of you still has identification should items be lost or stolen. n Do your homework. Unplanned day trips are common among travelers who have been traveling for long periods of time. While such jaunts can add an element of spontaneity to a trip, they also can be quite dangerous if travelers

have not done their homework on a particular destination. You do not want to end up in a place where tourists are not welcome or frequent targets of criminals. In addition, you don't want to visit a city or town and know nothing of its customs or etiquette. For example, locals may react negatively to visitors who have ignored accepted local standards for attire. You can still make spontaneous trips, but make sure you gather some background information, be it from the Internet, locals where you are currently staying or the hotel concierge, on a given locale and its customs before visiting. n Make sure your health will not be compromised. Retirees cannot travel in the same manner they did in the carefree days of their youth. Before traveling abroad, visit your physician and get a full physical. Refill any medications you will need during your trip, and speak with your physician about how to handle any medical emergencies while overseas. Carry your physician's name and telephone number with you at all times, so local medical profes-

sionals can contact him or her should you experience a medical emergency. Once you have arrived at your destination, it's important that you continue to prioritize your health. Make sure the water is safe to drink before taking a sip, and investigate local cuisine to ensure it won't enflame any existing medical conditions you may have. The quality of medical care varies greatly across the globe, so you must prioritize your health whenever leaving the country and avoid anything that might put your health in jeopardy. n Travel with friends or family if possible. If you have friends or family who also are retirees with time on their hands, organize a group trip abroad. Groups are less likely to be targeted by criminals than couples, and overseas trips with friends or family members can make trips overseas that much more memorable and enjoyable. Overseas travel is a popular goal of men and women on the verge of retirement or those who have already called it a career. But safety must remain a priority when traveling abroad. M

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Carrollton atop league standings SAM eLLIoTT Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton High School softball team bounced back from its first set of back-to-back losses this season by keeping its record within conference play perfect following a 6-1 win against North Greene Tuesday at Wright Memorial Park. The Lady Spartans took an early lead when Catherine McQuillan reached base via an error and her courtesy runner, Bethany Randall, later scored on a two-out error by Carrollton in the top of the first inning. "We're a young team and it just takes us a while sometimes to get everybody in place," Lady Hawks head coach Amy Struble said. Carrollton (15-4, 3-0 Western Illinois Valley Conference South) didn't trail for long. Leadoff hitter junior Madison Mountain drew a walk, stole two bases and scored the equalizing run on a grounder by No. 2 hitter freshman Emily Struble. "We’re an aggressive running team, coach Struble said. "We get one on and then want that next base. We’re manufacturing runs when we need them. That’s important." Mountain scored twice as part of a 1-for-3 game and Emily Struble finished 2-for-4 with a double and one run batted in. From the pitcher's circle, Emily Struble went on to allow just two hits following North Greene's unearned run in the first inning and she totaled eight strikeouts with three walks. "Emily had to settle in," coach Struble said. "Once she settled in and we got a few hits fielded behind her, she got her confidence back and she threw the ball well." Junior McKenzie Ruyle put the Lady Hawks ahead for good with a two-RBI double that scored Mountain and sophomore Kenlie Henson with two outs in the third inning. "She’s one of those kids that can either drive the ball or she can bunt to drop it right in front of home plate," Struble said. "You don’t know what to expect from her and she did both [Tuesday]." Unbeaten through its first three WIVC South games this season, Carrollton is tied with rival Calhoun atop the current league standings in the midst of a six-game stretch with five outings against conference teams. The Lady Hawks will host Greenfield-Northwestern at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and conclude their two-game series with North Greene at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in White Hall. After hosting Staunton at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Carrollton begins a two-game series with rival Calhoun at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Wright Park.
