reene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters wants to let the residents of Greene County know how the gradual opening of businesses in the county will go about.

On May 5, Gov. JB Pritzker released Restore Illinois, a five-phase plan that will reopen our state. This plan recognizes that the economy will start growing again when consumers feel that it is safe to return to work, shop and dine out and engage in social and recreational activities.

While each of the 10 different categories of business has similar guidelines for opening, the ones people in Greene County might be most inter-

ested in are restaurants, hair salons, barbershops and nail salons.

As for restaurants, those which can provide outdoor seating will be able to offer outdoor dining and drinking only and to parties of six or under. Social distancing of at least six feet should be maintained at all times, though.

Face masks must be worn by employees when in the presence of others, and the practice of hand washing or using sanitizer should be maintained.

Employees must maintain social distancing and other guidelines at points of entry. Workspaces should be reconfigured to allow for social distancing between employees and customers.

In the area of personal care services such as barber shops, hair salons, nail salons, massage parlors, waxing centers, tattoo parlors, tanning salons and other providers of personal care services, there is a set of uniform guidelines across businesses and industries within the state.

Employees should wear face coverings over their nose and mouth when within six feet of others. Exceptions may be made when accommodations are appropriate.

Social distancing of a least six feet should be maintained between nonhousehold individuals unless participating in activities permitted under Phase 3 guidelines.

Employers of such facilities should provide hand washing capability or sanitizer to employees and customers.

Frequent hand washing by employees and an adequate supply of soap, paper towels or disinfectant hand sanitizer should be available.

A maximum of 50 percent capacity or five customers will be allowed per 1,000 square foot of usable space.

Fitness centers should display signage at entry with face covering requirements, social distancing guidelines and cleaning protocols.

The fitness center should configure

workout stations or implement protocols, such as decommissioning equipment, to allow for 10 foot social distancing between individuals without barriers or six foot apart with barriers in place.

Saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms and childcare areas should be closed.

Locker rooms and showers should be configured with signage, tape and other markings to ensure members can maintain six foot of social distancing.

Water fountains, except for touchless water bottle refill stations should be turned off, covered and the area blocked.

Fitness centers should provide sanitizing supplies near all equipment and exercising areas. Employees should fully clean and sanitize exercising areas before and after use by individuals.

Sanitizing of locker rooms and showers should be completed at least every hour.

One thing COVID-19 has not changed – my plumbing

So have you missed me the last couple weeks? The reason there was no column was, frankly, because there was nothing to talk about.

Just about every event under the sun has been canceled; council and board meetings are conducted through the computer; just about everything is done over the phone or computer. Who knew we would be visiting a physician through a computer? Heck, nine months ago, I had to make an appointment to see my doctor, even though I wasn’t sick, just so I could get a prescription refilled.

The world as we know it doesn’t exist at the moment – except for one thing – my darn plumbing problems!

I’ve lived here for three-and-a-half years, and I’ve had a plugged up sewer at least three times. The last time I had it cleaned out, I vowed to never let another piece of toilet paper go down that sewer.

The plumber said the only thing he could think was that maybe there was a branch or something in the line and the toilet paper was getting stuck and it was backing up.

So, for the last nine months, I have not put a single piece of paper down that toilet.

I was just down in the basement a week ago because I’m replacing the carpet on the stairs with tile. So, imagine my surprise when I opened the door Tuesday morning and saw water standing in every single room down there.

There are two drains – one on each end of the house, and the one that has always been clogged is the one on the left. The other drain used to be a shower.

I looked at the “problem” drain, and it was still draining. So where was the water coming from? The other drain of course. I put a call into the plumber, and he found it strange, because he didn’t think that drain even went into the sewer because when the other drain was

clogged he dumped water down it.

I went back down and looked, and smelled, and realized it was not sewer water. Still, where did the water come from? I have never had water – that didn’t come from the sewer – in my basement no matter how much rain we had.

Still, the face remained that I had three rooms full of water. Plumbers are the busiest people around, and it is hard to get them to come very quick. Frankly, I’m kinda getting used to being without the facilities readily available – which is, in itself, disturbing.

So, I wasn’t freaking out like in the past. I got to thinking that if the one drain was still working that maybe I could use a wet vac, suck the water up and empty it down the drain. All the times before, I had to take it through the basement and up around 12 stairs, through the garage and back porch and go to the ditch.

It’s a six gallon vac so you can imagine how heavy those buckets I emptied it out into was. It roughly weighed half as much as I did and I’m not a spring chicken anymore. I’m more like a really old hen.

As I thought, the water went down the drain so for the next three hours I sucked up probably 70 gallons of water out of the basement, dumped it in a bucket and took the bucket to the drain and emptied it. I didn’t make a dent. You know the term water, water, everywhere…now I know how they came up with it – they had a clogged drain.

I decided since I hadn’t eaten all day to make a trip to McDonald’s for supper.

Of course, you can’t go to Jerseyville without going to Dollar Tree and Walmart. My first stop was Dollar Tree.

Mind you, three hours earlier, I had gone to Kroger to pick up something for a friend. My debit card was fine.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Hunting agencies’ pricing is going out of range

But when I tried to pay for stuff at Dol- Much Ado lar Tree, my debit About card was declined – Nothing three times. I rushed through Walmart, BY CARMEN got my stuff and ENSINGER tried it again. Again declined.

I knew what had happened. It happened about two years ago. Someone had hacked my debit card and made an out of state purchase, which caused my bank to flag it and prevent it from being used. At least, I hoped that was the case.

This sounds terrible, but after I put it out on Facebook, I found out that others had the same problem and I was so relieved. Last time, there was at least 20 people who had the same thing happen to them at the same bank.

After that first time, I stopped using my card at the pump and made them swipe it inside. They say they attach these devices to the pumps that allows them to get your data. But, with all this coronavirus stuff, I decided to socially distance and use pay at the pump. Never again.

But, in all fairness, I do have to say that the declined debit card did take my mind off the clogged drain for a few hours.

As I sit here typing this at 2 a.m., I realize that in a few more hours, I will have to deal with both issues once again.

Sometimes I think the higher power causes all this chaos in my life just so I will have fodder for this column.

Either way, I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe I just needed some excitement in my life. If that’s the case – I will love to return to “boring.”

Read beyond the headline

By BILL HOAGLAND Dogs may contract COVID 19.

At least, that is what the headline said on May 20 as I scanned through the daily news on my computer.

As an owner of multiple dogs, that headline certainly got my attention. If that headline were true, can you imagine what we dog owners would have to deal with on a daily basis?

First, we would undoubtedly get a new regulation from Gov. JB Pritzker, ordering that all dogs must observe the six-foot distancing rule, with criminal penalties for those mutts who ignore it.

Wouldn’t you love to see the mug shots of the dogs brought in to be booked?

And to prove he is really in charge, Pritzker would probably take it a few doggie steps further. First of all, no sniffing of another dog’s body parts under any circumstance—even if you are related. And of course, all doggie parks would be off limits until further notice— the risk is just too great if

more than 10 dogs are gathered in one doggie park. So if your pooch has to “do his business,” maybe you can rent your neighbor’s back yard — or maybe not.

And we would undoubtedly have the requirement that all dogs must wear face masks in public. Good luck with that. How long do you think that mask is going to stay on as it blocks your pooch’s nose—the most important portal that a dog has to the outside world?

Not long. Particularly since a nice set of teeth are less than an inch away, just waiting for something to do.

Finally, if your dog tests positive, does he have to quarantined for 20 days?

Try explaining that to “man’s best friend”.

Actually, if you read the text of the news story that said dogs may contract COVID-19, your blood pressure will drop immediately. It turns out that the two dogs who tested positive lived in Hong Kong.

And the test on one of those dogs showed only that there had been evidence of

exposure—not that there was an active virus in that dog. More importantly, both dogs were asymptomatic. They were tested only because their owners had tested positive. In fact, a number of other dogs were tested in Hong Kong under the same circumstances and none tested positive.

Nor was there any evidence that dogs spread the virus to either other dogs or to humans. So take a deep breath.

Note: Unfortunately, there is credible evidence that some felines, including domesticated cats, may contract the disease. In fact, back when the SARS epidemic broke out in 2002 in the Chinese wet markets, the civet—a Chinese cat— was believed to have been

the intermediary animal that was the zoonotic link causing that virus to jump from animals to humans.

But we are again talking about a very small sample size at this point, so maybe cat owners here in the US really don’t have anything to worry about either. Let’s hope so.

––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life.

Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County. Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

We are in uncharted territory.

COVID-19 has not only affected my work life, but now my hunting life. Kentucky allowed no non-resident hunters to hunt during turkey season. I know the fish and wildlife agency was not happy either.

They could have used the income.

But to be honest, most fish and game agencies have been losing my money for some years now.

The affordability to hunt out-of-state has become increasingly out-of-reach.

In Kentucky, for example, a bear tag that was once included with your deer tag, is now $250. In Missouri, a turkey tag was once included with your deer tag. Today, it will cost another $224. And I’m not picking on Kentucky or Missouri. I could give you the same scenario in Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Texas and the rest of the United States. And therein lies the problem.

When an agency is asked why, most will say: “every state is doing it.” And that is supposed to end the conversation. A wildlife officer once told me they were making more money now but with less hunters. This ought to make every single organization that is designed to increase the hunter population go bonkers.

Now, let me defend the officers who work in the field. I think most are great.

Many of them I consider friends. Most of them do not get to make decisions about the cost of license.

They are doing their job, mostly because they love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and doing things right.

What upper management does not understand is they are slowly getting rid of the very outdoor activity they are sending others to propagate. They will send lobbyists to Washington to make sure hunting will survive, while undermining their efforts within their

o w n constituents.

N o t only are fewer hunters hunting, but fewer new adults are getting into the sport. Why? It is priced out of range.

I know, because I am one of those who like to travel to other hunting places but can no longer do that with any consistency. I simply can’t afford it. I am not alone. Some will say license costs have stayed the same. I say that’s not true when you consider the added fees.

So, what do we do?

Should I just complain without offering suggestions? Yes and no.

My suggestion is for those who make these decisions to do what I’m going to do right now. Say, “I don’t have any clue how to add more revenue without adding more cost to the hunter.” And once you say this, hire those who are experts in these areas, and let them do their work.

If the goal is to make it through the budget year, then add another cost to the ones who love hunting.

If you want to make hunting last for generations, then figure out another way to bring in revenue.

If you are concerned about politicians, and antihunting organizations getting rid of our opportunity to hunt, you are concerned about the wrong people and groups. We are eliminating our passion from within. More revenue cannot be at the expense of less hunters. Or soon, there will be neither.

Scott said they plan on upgrading their internet and will try to put in hot spots and wifi connections to get some students out in the country hooked up with internet. Also, they plan on getting enough devices for everyone in the school.

Lewis and Clark Community College is in the process of writing a grant and wants North Greene School District to partner with them with their CTE course and offer a construction adult education course.

The district got a hefty renewal back on its health insurance and an increase on property and casualty insurance.

“We got a 10 percent decrease in premiums from Egyptian Trust, but our Prairie State Insurance for workman’s comp went up 18 percent for property and casualty insurance,” Scott said. “We are going to have a decrease in the health insurance of around $100,000 and an estimated

increase in property and casualty of around $26,000.”

However, district finances are not as good as they might sound.

“We are not getting all our mandated categorical payments, and what we are expecting is not good with the economy the way it is,” Scott said. “I’ve heard the state might pass a six-month budget to get us through six months. They say flat funding for school with the state will stay right where it’s at – we are not going to get any more or less.”

It is not receiving the mandate categorical that is going to hurt the district most.

“We haven’t been receiving our mandated categorical like transportation and special ed transportation,” Scott said. “We have only received two out of the four payments, and what I’ve heard is we are not going to receive our third or fourth payments ’til after July 1, which puts us into next fiscal year. We are surviving, but it’s not good at all.”

The district accepted retirement

letters from Jim Roesch and Kevin Fraser and accepted Quill and School Specialty as vendors for school supplies.

The district employed the following: Drew Kirby, high school social studies; Donnie Allen, head football coach; Kyle Williamson, head volleyball coach; Justin Vineyward, head boys basketball coach; McKea Jones, head girls basketball coach; Nathan Roberts, head softball coach; Katelyn Manley, high school cheerleading; Jeff Clanton, junior high girls softball and Don Rush, junior high girls basketball.

In other action, a review was made of the tentative budget amendment for this fiscal year, and a hearing will be held prior to adoption of the amended budget at 6:30 p.m. on June 17.

Banking services were awarded to Farmers State Bank, which the district is currently with. Also approved was a service agreement with Johnson Controls.

Carrollton Council holds public hearing on squad car

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council members met for their May 14 meeting via teleconference. Prior to the regular meeting, a public hearing was held to meet the requirements of the USDA Rural Development grant program for the purchase of a new squad car.

Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross said the grant would provide $12,200 toward the purchase of a 2020 Dodge Durango at a cost of $34,900 with an additional $4,000 in lights, sirens and transfer of the radio to bring the total cost of the squad car to $38,900.

The city had put in for the grant quite some time ago, but last year when they didn’t hear about being approved for the grant, purchased two new squad SUV’s.

Currently, the city is down to just the two new squad cars after Gross’ police car is out of commission.

“We really don’t want to be in a position where we have just one vehicle,” City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap said. “With that in mind, we are going to use the Equipment Replacement Fund (ERF) and the sale of the 2010 truck to go towards this purchase.”

Dunlap said, in 2017, the city set up the ERF in order to build up funds to replace its equipment.

Every piece of equipment, which has a Vehicle Identification Number, is included in the program in a line item. Each month funds go into each account.

“This program is almost like a savings program that has specific dollar amounts that goes into each piece of equipment,” she said. “That way, when it comes time to replace a piece of equipment, we will have money saved up for it.”

Alderman Larry Gillingham said he felt like the city had purchased enough equipment over the last year.

“I am totally opposed to purchasing a third squad car because we do not know how much money we are going to have,” he said. “We have to start accruing pension money. We bought two new squad cars, two trucks; we bought a backhoe; we bought a trailer, and I think that is enough buying of capital equipment. I think we can get by with two new squad cars, and by the time we need another, we will have the money to pay for it – that is my position.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has shuttered local businesses, which means a loss in tax revenue.

“The Illinois Municipal League has said that our tax sharing is going to be down 17 to 20 percent next year,” Gillingham said. “That is a big hit for Carrollton. We have enough to contend with already.”

When it came time to vote, Gillingham was the only dissenting vote and the motion passed to purchase the third squad car.

Last year, the city received a $200,000 Safe Routes To School grant to redo sidewalks near the grade school. The city opened up for bids for the work and two bids were received – both significantly higher than the $200,000 grant amount.

The low bid came in at $268,401.30 while the other bid was $324,623.80. The council voted to reject the bids.

“We will be working with the engineer redoing the scope of work, which we hope will bring the price down,” Dunlap said. “We won’t be able to get as much sidewalk as we had been planning on but hopefully they can get the bids let again and the project ready to go.”

Also, the council unanimously approved the cleaning of well No. 3 at a cost of $19,478

WHAT’S HAPPENING Postponement: The White Hall High School Alumni Association annual meeting has been postponed. Plans are to hold it on Saturday evening, June 20 at the White Hall Masonic Lodge at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be on sale at People’s Bank in White Hall.

The scriptures for this morning’s service was from Exodus 14:12-31. I encourage you to begin reading the book of Exodus, starting with the first chapter. Even through serious hardships, God never left his people — even when they were disobedient, unhappy and complaining. He provided the leader in Moses to guide them out of bondage, the Old Testament is full of amazing stories of God’s miracles, but the Red Sea crossing stands out above the rest and touches the imagination in a special way. Again, I encourage you to read the Book of Exodus.

t is a fact of life that we are born completely dependent on others. No newborn could survive without the care and nurturing of its parents, or in their absence, others who take on the task of caring and nurturing for the child. As we grow and develop, we become more and more able to care for ourselves, with the aim of becoming independent. An independent person is one who is relatively able to care for him- or herself without relying on others. But it is an illusion to think that anyone is completely independent.

Even if you earn a living and pay for all of your daily needs, you are probably not the one who grew your food or built your own house. Being independent is in reality being interdependent, that is, depending on others in a mutual relationship where we help each other.

We see this interdependence everywhere: in nature, where animals rely on plants, and vice versa, and in international relations, where countries trade with each other. But this is also an essential facet of human life, where we must learn to negotiate our needs

with others. People marry so that they might help each other in the raising of children and provide each other with the things which together they can provide, but which alone they lack. To use a metaphor from dancing, a couple can do things together, by supporting or lifting each other, for instance, which neither partner could do alone.

Consider the myriad ways in which you rely on others, and pray for guidance in both giving and receiving help and support.

Roodhouse Council makes decision on living in storage buildings

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With the popularity of such shows as “Tiny Houses” and minimalist living becoming all the rage, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to get creative.

When a proposition arose to have a home in a storage building, the Roodhouse City Council had to decide where they would land on this. During their May 13 meeting, the answer was a decisive “no.”

“We had a guy wanting to fix one up to live in, and we voted unanimously to not do that at this time,” Roodhouse Mayor Tommy Martin said. “We don’t want to start a shanty town with all of these little sheds everywhere. Some people would live in them and take care of them, but most of them who want that kind of house won’t take care of them.”

The council has their own ordinance to fall back on.

“At this time, we are basically following our ordinance, which says a building which is occupied as a residence or home must be at least 900 square feet,” Martin said. “I’m sure there are a few houses in town that are less than this, but so many people have already been turned down to live in one. If you pass it the first time, you are going to have them popping up all over town.”

Martin said Jerseyville had a similar problem brewing and passed an ordinance to prohibit them being used as a residence.

“A lot of people want to do it, because they think it is going to be a cheap way to live, because they won’t have to pay taxes on it, but what they don’t realize is that the State of Illinois requires them to be set on a taxing base,” Martin said. “Since they would be on a foundation, they would have to pay property taxes on them and most people don’t want to do that.”

Still, there is an interest out there in living in a small space. In fact, cabins and log cabins, which resemble tiny houses, are sold by such places as Lowes and Home Depot.

“It has come up about four times since I have been mayor, and if it keeps coming up.

We may have to talk to our ordinance guy

and get a census on what the rest of the state is doing,” Martin said. “You just don’t see them in a lot of places right now, so at this time, we are going to stay against it. I’m not saying some day it wouldn’t pass, but right now it won’t.”

Also in the meeting, the city hired Chris Ford of Patterson to take over as water superintendent to replace Nathan Newingham, who is moving to Arizona.

“Nathan has been at the plant since it first went online so he knows everything and he has said he will stay here to train Chris on everything before he moves to Arizona,” Martin said. “Therefore, we are going to go ahead and pay Nathan to stay here and train him. Nathan will stay here ’til the end of June to make sure Chris knows everything he needs to.”

Martin said the COVID-19 pandemic is definitely having a negative effect on the city’s finances.

“Our sales tax is definitely down this month, and this shut down is hurting everybody from the local businesses to the city itself,” Martin said. “The gaming tax from the video gaming has become a part of your operating capital, and we have lost all of that for the last two months.”

Martin said the city has lost between $2,500 to $5,000 a month in gaming money.

“It is a pretty good chunk of change when you don’t have anything invested in it,” Martin said. “And April would have been a great month because people get their income tax back, and we missed out on all of that. At the end of the year, it turns out we receive a pretty good check, because we don’t have anything in it – it is basically free money for us.”

Also, the council approved paying USDI a fee of $2,000 per year to do the city’s mapping of its city utilities.

“When Andy Davis was here, he started a mapping system for the city where we mapped all of our utilities from our gas shut offs to our water mains,” Martin said. “We have carried that on since he left, and every time we do something, we try to map it so, down the road, everyone would be able to find the shutoffs. Now, our gas engineer has come out with a program where they will take on the mapping and keep it up to date.”

Greene County police and traffic Boyd opens up to provide more services

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After two months of being all but shut down completely, Boyd Hospital in Carrollton has begun opening up and offering a variety of different services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have opened back up our physical therapy department, cardiac pulmonary department and the clinic are starting to open their doors back up and physically see the patients,â&#x20AC;?

Boyd Hospital CEO Debbie Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been slow moving on this, but now instead of the telehealth, doctors are seeing patients again. Of course, we still offer telehealth for those who are more comfortable with that method.â&#x20AC;?

Precautions are being taken before anyone can even enter the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature is taken before they come in and a mask must be worn,â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rooms are all washed down after every patient.â&#x20AC;?

Campbell estimates that due to the pandemic the hospital has lost probably 70 percent of its revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the same boat as everybody else,â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the hospitals are in the same boat.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the extreme loss of revenue, hospitals, including Boyd, have not had to lay off workers thanks

to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, which is part of the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act, with $349 billion designated for the PPP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proceeds from this loan are used to cover payroll cost, mortgage interest, rent and utility costs over the eight week period after the loan is made,â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to the guidelines, employee compensation levels must be maintained, and you must spend 75 percent of these funds specifically on payroll.â&#x20AC;?

The average size of a PPP loan was $206,000 in the first round that ended April 16. The Small Business Association went through the initial $349 billion in just two weeks.

The second round of funding began on April 27 after Congress allocated another $310 for the PPP. Any small business with 500 or fewer employees qualifies for the loan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This loan has kept our doors open during these past two months,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal now is to get people to start coming through the doors again for their mammograms or doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visits. What is bad is there are people who are waiting too long to come in.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow, but we are getting there.â&#x20AC;?

Jones named NG girls head basketball coach for next year

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Following the retirement of long-time North Greene girls basketball coach, Jim Roesch at the end of the current school year, the district was tasked with finding another head basketball coach.

Since Roesch announced his impending retirement early on, the district has been looking for the best fit for the coaching position.

At the Wednesday, May 20 school board meeting, the

board announced that the new girls head basketball coach at the high school would be McKea Jones, a 2009 graduate of Winchester High School and a 2012 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.

The board didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have to look too far for the new coach. Jones has coached the junior high girls track and field team and volleyball team over the last few years.

CNB supports local businesses Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easier during COVID-19 pandemic CNB Bank & Trust, N.A. has been helping small and local businesses during this unprecedented time.

As part of the C.A.R.E.S. Act, the Small Business Administration (SBA) launched the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) allowing small businesses to apply for a special loan that helps keep their workforce employed during the COVID-19 crisis. To date, CNB has processed 836 loans totaling more than $75 million for small businesses within its communities. In addition to helping local businesses with the PPP loan, each CNB Bank & Trust branch is helping the Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities in other meaningful ways.

Funds have been allocated for the member and associate member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC), to receive up to $20,000 in COVID-19 relief grants. CNB Bank & Trust applied for and received the $20,000 grant from FHLBC, and decided to match the $20,000 grant with $20,000 of its own

money. In total, $40,000 will be donated to food shelters in the 17 branch communities the bank now serves, with each food shelter receiving at least $2,000. The grant offer, along with matching funds, emphasizes the consistent support that CNB offers to customers, local businesses and communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CNB Bank & Trust is always happy to give back to the communities we serve. We are fortunate to have the means available to help make a difference in the lives of those most in need during these uncertain times.â&#x20AC;?

Tony Heitzig, Regional President at CNB, said.

With branches in 17 communities, spanning from Central Illinois to Chicago and St. Louis, Missouri, CNB continues to support the communities it serves, by offering innovative products, excellence in customer service and financial assistance to its communities. Recently, in response to the pandemic, the Bank has offered SBA assistance loans, skip-a-pay on existing loans, loan modifications and rate adjustments on loans.
