County Market looking at options to bring groceries to Carrollton By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

here is another glimmer of hope on the horizon for Greene County residents in the area wondering where they will be getting their groceries now. At a special meeting of the Carrollton City Council Monday afternoon, representatives from County Market met with the council and members of the community to discuss an option that would bring groceries to the community again. Rich Niemann, CEO of Niemann Foods, the largest independent grocer in central Illinois, and Consumer Affairs Representative Gerry Kettler addressed the council with an option that would allow residents of not only Carrollton but anywhere in the county to order grocery items online, pay for them and have them delivered to Carrollton from the Girard store in a

large refrigerated semi, which would be parked in a vacant lot. Those who ordered items would then come to the trailer and pick them up. “We are in five states, and we do a lot of different types of retail, but we have never done what we are contemplating doing here,” Niemann said. “We are trying to figure out what to do here on a shortterm basis and then possibly on a long-term basis.” Niemann said he is basing the proposed plan on something similar they did when their store in Girard burned to the ground. “When that store burned, we operated temporarily out of a trailer and supplied groceries to the community from there until we were able to build a new store,” he said. “We already have the trailer we could use for that purpose. All we would need is a parking lot to park the trailer in and electricity to power the trailer.” Orders would need to be placed and paid for online at least 24 hours before the scheduled delivery dates of

Tuesday and Friday. The trailer would be parked in Carrollton between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. on those days, giving residents in the county plenty of time to get the groceries they have ordered. Any groceries paid for but not picked up would be donated to the local food pantry. Alderman Tim Reif, who was attending the meeting remotely, asked if there could be an option where someone ordered groceries and paid for them when they were picked up because a lot of the elderly people might not have a computer or debit card. “Our team has met on this a couple of times, and we decided we have to keep this as simple as possible to start off with,” Niemann said. “If things work out, we would like to have some additional items in the trailer for people to pick up like bread or milk – things they might have forgotten to order. We just want to keep it as simple as possible to get it going.” (See, COUNTY MARKET, A2)

Rich Niemann, CEO of Niemann Foods, talks to a small crowd at Carrollton City Hall Monday afternoon about an option for bringing groceries to Carrollton. Customers would order items online from their County Market store in Girard and pay for them online before they would be delivered to Carrollton twice a week via a refrigerated truck.

Leadership meeting focuses on future of Greene County By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A meeting was called for Greene County leaders on Thursday, May 6 at the Roodhouse Fire House to discuss the future of the county and what can be done to ensure that future. The meeting was arranged by Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters and included the superintendents from all three school districts, mayors and other city officials, law enforcement officials, county board members and other influential members of the various Greene County communities. The impetus for calling the meeting was the closing

of the Kroger stores in both Carrollton and White Hall. “The last couple of weeks, it felt urgent to me that we get the leaders in the community together,” Peters said. “The goal is to unite leadership and connect resources that will enhance Greene County and strategically plan for its future.” Peters said there is a lot to do, but everyone needs to be on the same page. “I want to see this county succeed, but there is so much to do and so much action that needs to be taken to see that it gets done,” she said. “It takes all the leaders to step up and really have a similar focus, so I feel it is really important that we have these meetings.”

But identifying what actions need to be taken and seeing those actions through are two different things. “In general, we want the leaders of our community to be action-takers with similar goals and get the messages out of what is going on in their communities,” Peters said. “What doesn’t work for me in a group setting is bringing ideas to the table but then nothing gets done. For me, I want things to get done.” But the question is, as was pointed out by Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman, how do you really decide what is the greatest need is in a county with different communities with different goals?

“I think it would be difficult to put a bunch of different goals out there and say, ‘Hey, get a couple things to focus on,’ because we all have a need of some sort,” he said. “I know each of us in our own area are working on our own individual things, which directly impact us.” As an example, Bowman mentioned the Greenfield revitalization group which started up a few months ago. Greene County Treasurer Kirby Ballard echoed Bowman’s sentiments about getting the communities to work together towards a common goal. “It has been very challenging over the years to get a coordinated effort going between the

communities to work together,” he said. “Four of these communities have always been the feeder communities that the other communities have fed off of, unlike Jersey County, where you have a single dominant community where they all feed off of where it is easier to coordinate efforts between all of these communities.” Those four communities are, of course, Carrollton, White Hall, Roodhouse and Greenfield – each with their own police and fire departments, municipal water works and, until recently, their own grocery stores. The one other thing they have in common is a fiercely independent streak. (See, MEETING, A3)

This is a still photo, captured from a video shot by Nicki Ozirsky the day after a fire swept through the Ozirsky home. It shows her car in what used to be the carport that used to be attached to the house. What is left of the home can be seen smoldering in the background. The fire spread so quickly the Ozirskys barely escaped the home with their lives. Their son had to jump from the roof as fire in the hallway prevented his escape.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Residents of White Hall Nursing and Rehab (WHNR) have been isolated from their extended families since March of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and all visitors to the building were prohibited, but this past Saturday, the first family event at the facility was held in more than a year – a Mother’s Day Tea – complete with refreshments and a lively game of The Price is Right. “Actually, we have been allowing family visits in the front lobby for about a month now,” Executive Director Jill Spurgeon said. “But this is our first open event since COVID, and we, and I think our residents loved it. We have lots more events planned for the future, including a Father’s Day event in June. We have to try to make up for a whole year, you know.” There was a small handful of

mothers on hand for the event, but after spending a year in their rooms, Spurgeon said it will take the residents time to get used to the idea of mingling with each other again. “I wouldn’t exactly say the residents were kept in isolation, because they did have free run of the facility,” Spurgeon said. “It was as difficult on us as it was on them not being able to see their families because we want the families to come in. This is a family facility, and we like to see the families be a part of the residents’ lives.” Technology did make the isolation a bit more bearable for the residents. “We had some families come to the windows and visit with the residents that way,” Spurgeon said. “They would talk to them on the phone while looking at them through the window. It might not be quite the same as being in the room with them, but it is close.” (See, TEA, A2)

Roodhouse family details narrow house fire escape By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Roodhouse Fire Protection District responded to a fire call at the home of Mitch and Nicki Ozirsky at 244 Roodhouse Ave. early Sunday morning at approximately 12:11 a.m. only to find the home already fully engulfed in flames. “We had just gotten back from another call and hadn’t had the engines shut off but about 30 seconds when this call came in,” Fire Chief Terry Hopkins said. “We were on the

scene in a matter of minutes, but by the time we got there, flames were shooting 25 foot in the air. In all my 42 years with the department, I have never seen a fire move that quickly.” The Ozirsky family can attest to how fast the fire traveled as the family barely escaped the burning structure with only the clothes on their backs. In fact, had their son, Zach, not been still awake playing video games, the entire family might have perished. (See, FIRE, A2)

Fire

(Continued from A1) Nicki Ozirsky said it was Zach, 21, who alerted them to the fire. “He was playing his video games and smelled something,” Nicki Ozirsky said. “At first, he thought it was his air conditioner, but he checked it, and it was okay. Then, he continued to smell something and thought maybe they were burning at the dump because sometimes we can smell that. Finally, he decided to go out into the hall and check, and by that time, the hall was filling with smoke.” The young Ozirsky banged on his parents’ door to tell them the house was on fire. The fire had started in the attic, and since the smoke alarms were on the ceiling, and the smoke was just now breaking through the boards of the 100-plusyear-old home, the alarms had not gone off yet. “I remember looking at the clock, and it was 12:09,” Nicki Ozirsky said. “I threw on a robe, went downstairs to the kitchen and opened the cages to let out our two dogs. The kitchen was already on fire at this point, but my husband, Mitch, hadn’t come down yet and neither had Zach, so I tried to get back upstairs to get to them.” In the few seconds it took her to get to the kitchen and let the dogs out, thick black smoke had filled the upstairs hallway and stairway, and the heat from the fire made passage upstairs again impossible. Mitch had gone back into the bedroom to put his pants on, and in just those few seconds from the time he went from the hallway back into the bedroom, the flames had broken through the ceiling, and the extreme heat had broken out the windows letting in 20 mph gusts of wind that did nothing but feed the flames, which had now spread into the hallway and throughout the house. “The flames were rushing through the house, and the smoke was starting to come down black,” he said. “By

the time I ran back in to get my pants on, our two dogs followed me back in and hid under the bed because the fire was already engulfing the hallway in just that short of time. The smoke was coming down waist level, so I ducked down and held my breath and managed to find my way down the stairway, because I knew if I didn’t get out then, I never would because the flames were shooting everywhere.” Nicki ran into Mitch as he was coming down the stairs. She asked him where Zach was, but he had not seen Zach since he banged on their door to wake them up. If their first guardian angel was their son Zach, their second guardian angel appeared in the form of off duty Roodhouse Police officer AJ McAdams. Chief Hopkins said Officer McAdams was on his way back from visiting relatives in Winchester when he drove by the Ozirsky house and spotted the flames. He called the fire department and then immediately started banging on the door to wake the family. “By this time, I’m hysterical because we can’t find Zach, and then AJ comes banging on the door, and he asks if there is anyone else in the house,” Nicki Ozirsky said. “Two seconds later, we see my son standing on the roof outside his bedroom window. He had gone back into his room to get his dog, and the fire had spread so quickly that he couldn’t get back out and had no choice but to climb out the window onto the roof and wait for the fire department.” But with the fast moving fire, there would be no time. At this point, the smoke was just starting to come out from under the porch, under where Zach was standing. “AJ asked me if I had a ladder, so we ran to the shed to get the ladder and were back in less than a minute,” Mitch Ozirsky said. “But in less than 60 seconds, the flames were coming from under the porch, curling

up making a wall of flame in front of Zach. There was no way he could climb down the ladder through the flames.” And with the fire moving that rapidly, it was much too risky to wait for the fire department. There was only one thing he could do – jump. “We are all yelling to Zach that he has to jump – he has no other choice,” Mitch Ozirsky said. “Then, we see his dog, ‘Wonder Dog,’ come flying through the flames. He lands on the ground and limps off. By this time we can’t even see Zach anymore because the smoke is billowing up and the flames have made a solid wall of fire in front of him. Then all of a sudden, he just jumps through the fire and lands on the ground and just rolls.” Zach ended up with three broken vertebrae in his back, a twisted knee and a very singed beard but is otherwise okay. The two family dogs who followed Mitch back into the bedroom perished in the fire. The two dogs in the kitchen escaped the fire safely. Mitch Ozirsky thinks the metal roof on the home, plus the home’s age and the fact that the fire started in the attic, all added to the rapid spread of the fire. “The fire started in the attic and with that metal roof, the fire couldn’t break through the roof so it had to burn down,” he said. “When the fire finally broke through the ceiling in the sunroom, all that heat escaped and blew out all those windows and that let in the air and the fire just spread like crazy. You could hear the windows blowing out.” Gusting winds that night only added fuel to the fire, creating an especially dangerous and visually terrifying force of nature that consumed everything in its path. “It was so windy that night that it created what they call a fire tornado, which is a column of spinning fire that went at least 300 feet over the

silo across the street,” Mitch Ozirsky said. “The neighbor looked out his window, and he thought his place was on fire.” Mitch said he thought they were well prepared for a fire, but nothing could have prepared them for this inferno. “We had smoke alarms, and we had commercial fire extinguishers outside of each of our bedrooms and in the kitchen,” he said. “But nothing could have stopped this. You know, you think about the things you want to grab in case there is a fire, like a box of papers or something and how you would at least have time to do something like that. I’m telling you, there was no time to grab anything.” Since the fire consumed their home, the community immediately started rallying around the family upon hearing about the fire. “Everyone in this community has been simply amazing,” Nicki Ozirsky said. “We have had so many people reach out to us asking what we need or wanting to know how they can help us. This is just a wonderful community to be a part of.” Nicki’s cousin in Texas has set up a GoFundMe page for the family called the Ozirsky Family House Fire Recovery and there is a fund for the family set up at UCB Bank in Roodhouse called the Ozirsky Fire Fund. Donations can be sent to: UCB Bank, 215 Morse St. Roodhouse, IL, 62082. While they might have lost their home and all their possessions, they still have what is important – each other. “We are alive and we still have each other and that is what really matters,” Mitch Ozirsky said. “Everything else can be replaced. God was surely looking out for us that night.”

Tea (Continued from A1) Then, there was FaceTime and Zoom calls. “We had a couple of iPads available for residents to participate in Zoom calls with their families,” she said. “Others would FaceTime on their cell phones with their relatives. But while they had a lot of interaction with family members, nothing is the same as being in the same room with that person and being able to hug them.” Teresa Albrecht entered WHNR in January of 2020, just two months before COVID-19 hit. She had both her daughter, Rita MacKinnon of Pontiac, and her granddaughter, Amber Brannan of Carrollton, in attendance for the tea. MacKinnon has been making the two-and-a-halfhour drive weekly since the facility has been allowing visitors. “We had no idea when we put Mom in here that it would be more than a year before we would be able to be with her again,” MacKinnon said. “One of the workers would help her FaceTime with us,

and then I would just write letters to her, but I don’t think Mom realized how hard it was on us, which was good. But, it was hard losing a whole year with her.” Brannan agreed. “It was really hard because I used to go over to her house at least two or three times a week before she came here,” she said. “Then, suddenly, I didn’t see her for a whole year. She is going to be 95 in October, so every moment with her counts.” Frances Bridgewater also had her daughter and granddaughter come for the tea. Her daughter, Becky Angle, lives in Carrollton and her granddaughter, Kimberly Jackson, made the trip from Brighton. Jackson has not seen her grandmother in over a year. “This is very special for me, and I’m very grateful to be able to finally see her and give her a hug after more than a year,” Jackson said. “I’m hoping things will return to normal, and I can make more frequent trips to visit with her because it has been far too long between our visits.”

County Market (Continued from A1) There is a group in North Greene called Lettuce Serve You that has been organized to help those who cannot get out to get groceries, and one thing they will also be addressing is those who do not have computers or the ability to pay for items with a debit or credit card. There are those in Carrollton who are trying to set up a similar program. In the meantime, it was mentioned that those who did not have a computer could seek help from either city hall or the library to order their food. These groups could also pick up the groceries once they were ordered and paid for. Almost everything you would pick up in a County Market store in person will be available for delivery via the truck, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, frozen foods, milk, bread, cereals and virtually any other grocery items. If necessary, more delivery days could also be added. Looking at the long-term, Niemann said they will be working with an outside company to project the volume of sales based on the population in the county. “We feel like with three towns without a grocery store in this area, if there is going to be a store built, there will be only a single store built,” Niemann said. “It is not a sure thing. You are not in the middle of the county, but you are the county seat and have other things going for you.” Niemann said there are approximately 7,000 residents in the three communities currently not served by a grocery store. The investment to build even a small store is in the range of $5 to $6 million, and while stores like Dollar General are popping up all over the rural countryside, they serve as more of general store, different from a grocery store.

“On the model they operate under, they are able to make money doing sales of $35,000 a week,” Niemann said. “A grocery store needs to make at least $140,000 to $150,000 a week to show a profit. At the end of the day, sales profit has to come into play.” Niemann’s company is a very diversified company. They also own hardware stores, convenience stores and pet stores, including Pet Supplies Plus and the Harvest Market stores in Springfield and Champaign, in addition to the 40-plus grocery stores in five states. “The Niemanns have been in business since 1917, and all of their stores are employee owned,” Kettler said. “Our employees own between 25 to 30 percent of the store and the Niemann Family own the rest.” Since this is a relatively new business model to them, Niemann said it will be a learning process for everyone involved. “We are going to make mistakes in the beginning, but everyone is just going to have to be understanding and remember we have never done this before,” he said. “If we can build momentum for this, it is going to make the next step more likely.” But for that next step to become a reality, the entire community and county need to get behind the project. “We are going to have to market this, but the community is going to have to get behind it and everyone has to rally behind it,” Niemann said. “I’m not going to even come close to saying this is a done deal tonight, but we are willing to give it a try. It is going to cost us to get it going, and we won’t make any money bringing groceries from Girard, so we are going to expect the community to support it.” Alderman Larry Gillingham

asked a question which may have been circling everyone’s mind. “Why did you come here,” Gillingham asked. “Is there some connection – did someone reach out to you?” Niemann said it was Pharmacy Plus owner Byron Berry who first contacted him, but that wasn’t what ultimately made him choose Carrollton as the place to set up. “On the way down here, I drove through the other two towns as well as Carrollton,” Niemann said. “So, as we project the volume of sales, I expect this to be the lead dog on that dog sled. I know that more than one store cannot survive in this area. That is another reason you all took the initiative to get behind it, and make this thing work. You have a beautiful community.” City Treasurer Debbie Dunlap said she understands that a grocery store is an anchor of a community, and it makes a community a more viable place to live. “We would love to have a store here tomorrow, but we understand that is not going to happen,” she said. “But, we are highly encouraged by your interest in Carrollton, and I would love to help you make things happen.” Kettler said the prospect is almost as exciting for them as it is for Carrollton. “I think we enjoy the challenges of being innovative, and we are looking to learn from you guys with this concept,” he said. “We are excited to explore this concept because this might become a model for us and others in the future.” Niemann said they could possibly have their mobile grocery store up and running with residents ordering food to be delivered in early June.

of the problems faced by the leaders invited to the meeting. Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen started off the discussion. “The biggest thing we are facing in the county is the drug problem,” he said. “We had to kind of stop our efforts to get the drugs off the street during COVID for safety reasons, however, the drug dealers didn’t stifle their operations. “So, we are starting to see the negative effects of not being able to conduct our investigations when we should have by seeing more drugs on the streets and more drug arrests going down. We are starting to ramp up on our investigations again, so we should start seeing those going down. It is not uncommon for us to see three to four drug arrests a week for major drugs such as heroin, meth or fentanyl, which is a disturbing amount for a county our size.” County Board Member Joyce Clark said their biggest issue is finding someone to fill the positions at the highway department. “Finding qualified people to fill those jobs in transportation has not been easy because we can’t just hire anyone – they have to be qualified,” she said. “We are also looking for a County Highway Engineer, which we have been searching for for over five

aged to bring non-perishable food items for the North Greene Food Pantry. As time grows nearer to the date, the names of groups singing will be listed. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the day.

months now. Once again, we can’t just hire anyone – they have to be qualified. We want to keep our rural roads good.” John Banghart, who will be seated as a Carrollton Alderman on May 13, said the lack of a grocery store is Carrollton’s biggest concern right now. “To me, the lack of a grocery store is our biggest issue right now,” he said. “I met with the lady from North Greene last night from ‘Lettuce Serve You,’ so hopefully we can get something like that set up in the Carrollton area. Other than that, we have talked to several other people about possibly setting up a co-op similar to the one Winchester set up. It is just an option, but it would be something until something bigger comes in.” Carrollton City Treasurer Debbie Dunlap said the city has been very active over the past few years in several areas. “We have been very active in planning and trying to create some structure and some long-term plans,” she said. “I think it is so important to have some short-term, mid-term and long-term plans and to prioritize those plans.” They have also been very active seeking grants. “Probably in the last eight years, we have written for over $8 million in grants,” Dunlap said. “We

e tend to take breathing for granted until it becomes difficult or obstructed. The worst aspect of respiratory ailments is often the “air hunger” that is created by the ailment. The coronavirus epidemic has made clear that breathing should not be taken for granted and that we are all connected through our breathing. We breathe the same air that others do when we share a communal space, and we thereby share with them the microbes and viruses in our bodies. All animals breathe, even if some do it through their gills or their skin, and to live is to breathe. Most religions recognize this, perhaps by referring to “the breath of life,” or even by suggesting spiritual practices focused on breathing. When we are nervous or afraid, our breathing tends to quicken and become shallow and we are well-advised to slow it

Meeting (Continued from A1) “It has always come down to a lack of trust between the communities,” Ballard said. “We are at the point where now, whether we like it or not, if we are going to survive as a county, we have really got to find a commonality and a common focus or we are just all going to dry up.” Carrollton Attorney Nick Graham, 34, who is active with the Carrollton Square Initiative and is currently working to get lighting around the Carrollton Courthouse, said he feels those in his age range have a broader vision about how to get things done than perhaps the older older folks. “Those in my age range don’t hold to the sentiment that, ‘Well, this is how it has always been done in the past,’” he said. “There are still people who are holding onto grudges from decades ago who are saying, ‘Remember when Greenfield got this, and it should have been us?’ We don’t do that because that was before our time. We are all facing very similar challenges and no one is going to come out a winner and the rest losers. The whole county is going to stand up or the whole county is going to fall. We are all facing similar challenges, but hopefully we will find some solutions that will solve those problems.” Peters inquired of some

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle – 217-473-1892: Windy, cool and rain, but we praise the Lord for the blessings of the day. We welcome a good number of guests for our morning worship service. Sunday was Mother’s Day, and mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers were recognized. Each received a rose of their choice. Our message this morning was from the Book of Ruth, but it really centered around Naomi and how she welcomed her two daughters-

down and breathe more deeply. Some gurus advise us to simply pay attention to our breathing, saying to ourselves “I’m breathing in” as we breathe in and saying “I’m breathing out” as we breathe out. These practices tend to be associated with Eastern religions such as Taoism and Buddhism, but even in Judaism and Christianity there are practices which involve breathing. One of them is to say a short prayer while breathing in and repeat it while breathing out. The “Jesus Prayer” is one such prayer. The author of “The Way of the Pilgrim” advises us to breathe in while praying “Lord Jesus Christ,” and while breathing out praying “have mercy on me.” – Christopher Simon

still have around $2.5 million pending in grant funding. I feel very positive about some of the grants we still have pending, however, grants are not free. Most of them have some matching portion.” Peters felt the hour-anda-half meeting was a productive one. “Of the many compelling comments made today, optimism was a keynote,” she said. “This community will be successful. We will find a way to get things done. It is connecting us all together on similar missions that is necessary. It is time again to remember our local communities’ businesses and organizations– support them with all our might.”

Cost of bridge project reduced for county, townships

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County Board members received some good news Monday afternoon at the transportation committee meeting held prior to Wednesday night’s monthly board meeting. Acting Highway Supervisor Diane Hendricks informed the members of the committee that both the county and the townships would be paying less for their portion of the bridge project thanks to a change former Highway Supervisor David Marth made in the funding agreement last year. Hendricks said she just received an email Monday morning stating that the dollar amount owed by the county and townships was reduced from $168,000 to $68,000. “David submitted for this change with IDOT way back in April of last year, and it is just now going through,” Hendricks said. “Basically, he raised the amount of the total cost of state matching money and lowered the amount of county and township matching funds.” According to Hendricks, there is a state matching assistance fund managed by the state that the county never sees. “We never see that money as it is in a state-funded account,” she said. “Dave raised the amount of money from that account to take some

of the burden off the local entities.” The corrected funding resolution will go to the full board at Wednesday’s meeting for approval. Hendricks also reported on the progress on the aforementioned bridge project. “They started pouring some concrete this morning and will start grouting the decks and putting up the bridge rail,” she said. “Soon, they will start the dirt work to build up the road to the new bridge. It is going to take a lot of dirt and rock to get that built up. However, it might be fall before the dirt work is complete, but they are going to get it done as quickly as possible.” Even though the bridge project is not yet complete, Hendricks said the board needs to consider another project for 2022. “As of right now, we have no other projects in the works,” she said. “If we want to do a day-labor project in 2022, the groundwork needs to be started now, because it takes a year or longer to get all the paperwork in order.” Hendricks said it could be another bridge project or a road surface project. There are two bridges that need replaced – one in Kane and one in Linder Township, but neither of those townships are interested in replacing those bridges. On the other hand, the

county could do a road surface project using Rebuild Illinois Money and Motor Fuel Tax money. The county has a balance of over $300,000 in that account, and by using the Rebuild Illinois Money, the project would not have to qualify for federal funding. The county still has not found a highway engineer and is paying Volker for their engineering services until they can hire one. Board Member Chris Elliott asked if the board would be behind the eight ball if they held off for a couple of months. Hendricks said they most definitely would. “The bridge project we are doing right now – that paperwork was started in 2016,” she said. “If you want to have a project up and going for 2022, we really need to get it started no later than June.” As for the engineering fees the county is paying to Volker, Hendricks presented the amount the county has paid in the nearly six months Marth has been gone. On the bridge project, the county has spent a

NEWS/REAL ESTATE

little over $19,000 on engineering fees. The fee for bridge inspections has been around $17,000, but with only three of those bridges being on county property, the county’s portion of that amount is only around $1,000. So, the total engineering fees the county has paid in the last six months are right around $20,000. “Actually, you have saved around $40,000 over what you would have been paying Dave through his salary,” Hendricks said. “Volker has been more than fair with their engineering fees.” Board Member Joyce Clark agreed. “In the long run, it is cost effective because we have to keep the money coming in,” she said. Hendricks said Marth would be more than willing to come and talk to the board on his own time about the options for different projects. The good news is that one of the new hires started at the highway department last Wednesday, and the other new hire will start on June 1.

Childhood dream comes true for local band By CARMEN ENSINGER

Greene Prairie Press

When the local band, Midwest Avenue, takes the stage at Lions Park for the Lions Club Fourth of July Celebration on July 3, it will be fulfilling a childhood dream of one of its band members. Midwest Avenue is a band from the North Greene area that consists of band members Scott Joseph Phares, his father, Scott R. Phares, and a cousin, Steve Vincent. The band has been together since 2011, and while all of the men are natives to the area and have been involved in music all of their lives, none of them have ever had the pleasure of taking stage during the biggest event of the year – the Lions Club Fourth of July Celebration. In fact, despite being local, they have not really played any venues in their hometown of White Hall in more than six years. “When they temporarily moved the Fourth of July event to the White Hall Rez, we had conversations about playing there then, but it just didn’t work out because we had conflicting dates that year,” the younger Phares said. “This is our first show playing in our hometown in a long time and our first time ever playing this event, and we are super excited about it.” Phares, who grew up in White Hall and graduated from North Greene High School, attended the Fourth of July celebration every year growing up, just like every other kid in the area, and he can remember always wanting to be on that stage in Lions Park one day. “When I was growing up, the Fourth of July celebration was always the big event of the year and to go there and see the different bands play up there on that stage where we are going to be playing was the best part of it for me,” he said. “Back in the day, that was my goal – to be up on that stage one day. To me, that was like the Grand Ole Opry, which is my goal now, but back then, playing at the Lions Fourth of July was the big thing to do. I guess you could say I’m finally getting to fulfill a childhood dream.” Phares now has a son of his own, soon-to-be one-yearold Hudson, and he remembers how much influence those bands, and the people in them, had on him growing up and ultimately following his dream to become a musician. “As silly as it may sound, it really was a childhood dream of mine to be on that stage, and it is a big deal to be able to do that and maybe there is another

kid out there, like me, who is maybe looking to do the same thing one day,” Phares said. “Maybe he will look up, see me and the other guys and see that you can do this. Just work hard and stay committed to your craft. It is the hard work you put into something that leads to being given a shot at your dreams.” Because the Lions Club could not book a carnival this year because of the COVID pandemic, they decided to make the Fourth of July celebration a one-day event on July 3, beginning with the parade in the morning at 10 a.m. followed by the rest of the activities beginning at noon. Midwest Avenue will be the first of three bands to take the stage beginning at noon and playing until 4 p.m. Phares said there will be something a little special for those attending the show. “During this show, we will be shooting some video for an upcoming music video that will be coming out at the end of July for a song called ‘Redneck Heaven,’” he said. “The audience is going to be a part of the video and will have just one word to learn, ‘yeehaw.’ I’m really excited to see how that goes and even more excited that the people of my hometown

are going to be in one of our videos.” Midwest Avenue will be playing a combination of some of their original songs and some well-known covers. “By the time July rolls around, we will probably have at least three or four more new songs already released out as singles,” Phares said. “Then on July 3, we are going to have the album available at the show, but the album won’t actually be out until August.” Phares said that while some people might think it silly to be so excited about playing a gig in their own hometown, it is not to them. “This is a very big deal to us to be playing the biggest celebration in not only White Hall, but in probably the entire area,” Phares said. “I know people come from all over to our parade, and for this to be the first one after the craziness that was 2020, I think that this celebration is going to be one of the biggest ones that they have had in my lifetime.” Since the parade will be taking place in the morning at 10 a.m. instead of the evening at 7 p.m., which has been the norm for more than 70 years, Phares hopes to be able to help the Lions in promoting the event through Midwest Avenue’s social media presence.

“Since they are giving us the opportunity to play, we want to give back to them by promoting the whole day’s events, but especially the time change for the parade,” Phares said. “We want to make people aware of what is going on throughout the whole day through our social media aspect. We are just so excited to be a part of this celebration.”
