Jim Banghart knew his father, William John Banghart, had served in World War II and knew he had earned several medals and commendations, but they were not among his effects upon his death April 27, 2000.

“We really don’t know what happened to them, but I know he had a scar from the shrapnel that was in his leg,” Banghart said. “We think he might have lost them or perhaps given them to his sisters or something, but we just know we no longer had them.”

Then last year, when U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) came to Carrollton to present a deceased veteran’s medals to the family, he talked with Banghart’s wife, Debbie, who is the county clerk.

“He told her there was a way we could find out what medals he had

earned and get them,” Banghart said. “Then the other day, he called and said he had been successful and would be dropping by to present us the medals.”

“It is a privilege to be able to help families like the Bangharts get medals that have been earned over the years .”

Rodney Davis U.S. Representative

William John Banghart enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in March 1942 and served until August 1945.

“He joined up not long after Pearl Harbor,” Banghart said. “All the guys knew they were going to

get drafted, so instead they just went and joined up.”

William Banghart was an Aerial Gunner with the 751st Bomb Squadron stationed in Glasgow, England, and though he didn’t talk about his war experiences much to his son growing up, he would share those stories later on.

“When my son was around he talked a lot more as he got older about the missions they went on and things,” Banghart said. “I never realized it but some of those missions were 10, 12 or 14 hours long and to get back to the tail gunner section where he was at you had to crawl through what was almost like a road culvert to get back there – that is something I never realized.”

Long missions required lots of fuel and one story his father told him really sticks out.

“He said that when they were fueling up the plane for these long (See, davis, A2)

In just a little more than a month, the fairgrounds in Carrollton will be abuzz with activity with this year’s Greene County Fair scheduled to take place June 14 through June 21.

This year’s fair should prove to be one of the best in the fair’s 150-plus year history. Several things are different this year including the addition of the Downstate Classic harness race, which should bring some of the best horses and drivers to Greene County in a high stakes race.

According to Greene County Fair board member Craig Grummel, more focus is being placed on entertainment this year than in the past.

“The tractor pulls have always been a very big draw for us, so this year we are having them two nights

instead of just one,” Grummel said.

“Traditionally, we have held it on Thursday night but it has become so big we decided to also have it on Friday night, too.”

The tractor pulls are scheduled for June 18 and 19 beginning at 7 p.m. each night.

What makes them such a draw?

“Greene County is one of the few fairs around to have two pulling sleds,” Grummel said. “This means there is no waiting. Typically, a tractor pulls down and they have to take the time to unhook it and back it up and get ready for the next tractor.

Because we have two sleds, there is no break in the action.”

The success of the tractor pulls and the demolition derby has helped bring the fair back from tough financial times.

“Several years ago, they were

talking about how the fair wasn’t doing so great and it has had some trying times,” Grummel said. “But

“each year we have tried to concentrate on a different event and make it bigger and better .”

Craig Grummel

Greene County Fair board member what we deal with is less subsidy every year from the Department of Agriculture. We have less subsidy and costs continue to go up.”

Plus, with so many other forms

of entertainment these days, the fairs have a lot of competition.

“People don’t support their county fairs like they used to,” Grummel said. “I remember when I was a kid how full it was every evening. Now, everyone is on traveling baseball and softball teams and it’s hard to get the kids out there.”

That leaves the adults to target. All of the evening events are basically geared toward the adult crowd, though the tractor pulls and demo derby are big draws for all age groups. The most popular event, the Greene County Fair Pageant, is crossgenerational, bringing three and four generations of family together. This year’s pageant will be on Monday, June 16.

This year, there will be musical entertainment four nights in the beverage garden with Lick Creek appear-

ing on Saturday, June 14 followed

by Jon Evans on Tuesday, June 17.

Friday, June 20 there will also be a band but it has yet to be determined.

The popular Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters will close out the fair on June 21.

“We are trying to do more and more things to bring more people out,” Grummel said. “Each year we have tried to concentrate on a different event and make it bigger and better. Last year we had the committee for the demo derby and this year we have the Downstate Classic committee. We just pick something every year and focus on improving it and we have been very successful the last few years.”

A county fair wouldn’t be the same without the livestock events and this year the events will be held (See, fair, A2)

Vehicle crashes into Two Dog More contestants needed Bar and Grill in Roodhouse for Little Mr. and Miss Relay

By CARmeN eNSINgeR Greene Prairie Press What started out as an altercation behind a Roodhouse bar ended with a vehicle being driven through the back of the bar, injuring two and forcing evacuation of the building.

Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison said his department responded to a call of a physical altercation behind the Two Dog Bar and Grill on Saturday, May 3 at approximately 2:30 a.m.

“When officers arrived on scene, they noticed a vehicle had been driven into the back portion of the establishment,” Robison said. “Officers were immediately forced to evacuate everyone to safety due to the vehicle striking a gas main.”

Officers shut down all roadways surrounding the building and notified the Roodhouse Utility Department to shut off

the gas. The Roodhouse Fire Department was also summoned to the scene along with EMS services.

Once officers were able to control the scene, the investigation process began.

“Based on witness information, it is alleged that Dustin R. Davis was in an altercation with a few subjects in the alley behind the establishment,” Robison said. “Witnesses stated that Mr. Davis obtained a vehicle that did not belong to him and ultimately crashed the vehicle into the building. Three victims were struck by the vehicle in the process, two of which had to seek medical treatment for injuries sustained.”

Davis was placed under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while license suspended and criminal damage to property over $300. Davis declined to make a formal statement.

Contestants are being sought for a new event at this year’s Greene County Relay For Life – the Little Miss and Little Mr. Relay For Life and the Tiny Miss and Tiny Mister Relay For Life.

Sara Hensley, who is coordinating the event, said it is just one more way to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

“I read about this concept online and immediately thought of my daughter, Grace, and others like her,” Hensley said. “My little girls is only 3; however, she already knows that ‘cancer is mean.’ She fought right alongside me when I went through breast cancer and helps me continue the fight, still. I know there are other young children fighting for those they love. We also have some little ones in Greene County who are already cancer survivors themselves.”

Greene County Relay For Life will be held June 13 at Carrollton High School’s track field. Tiny Miss and Mr. Relay is for children between the ages of 3-5, while the Little Miss and Mr. Relay is for children between the ages of 6-8.

“That evening, each child participating will get to be in the program with their story of who they are fighting for, etc.,” Hensley said.

“They will get to go all out wearing purple and be introduced that night as part of the program.”

The crown will go to the child in each category who raises the most money.

“Each child will be ‘judged’ based on how much money they raise prior to the event and how many audience votes they receive that evening,” Hensley said. “On the night of the Relay, each contestant will have a bucket set up with his or her name on it and family, friends and community members can purchase (See, relay, A2)

Second annual 'Cake ‘N Eggs' run scheduled for June 7

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A breakfast buffet and a 5K run hardly seem to go hand-in-hand, but they will on June 7 as the North Greene High School Class of 2016 sponsors its second annual Cake ‘N Eggs 5k Run/Walk at the high school track.

“We just wanted to be a little bit different than all the other fundraisers out there,” class sponsor Michelle Hoesman said. “There are a lot of 5k runs held these days and there are also a lot of fundraising dinners, so we just decided to combine them both into one single event.”

An all-you-can-eat pancakes and eggs breakfast will be served from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. for an additional fee.

Registration begins at 7 a.m. for the 5k run/ walk for sixth graders through adults. The race begins at 8 a.m. and will take place on a mapped

route through White Hall with prizes awarded for first, second and third place.

The one-mile Fun Run for students pre-K through fifth grade will begin at 9 a.m. and will be held on the track.

“Our whole idea was to hold a fundraiser which would involve the entire family and have something for everyone in the community,” Hoesman said. “If you are not into the running or walking, you can still come out and support us by having breakfast. Or, you can just participate in the 5k if you want – it’s up to you.”

It’s kind of like killing two birds with one stone.

“Fitness is a goal for many people in our area right now, and families always enjoy a Saturday morning out to breakfast together – so why not do both?” Hoesman said. “Families can enjoy breakfast together before or after the races.”

The success of last year’s event prompted the

Carrollton, Illinois

class to hold it again this year.

“The response we had last year was great,” Hoesman said. “People really seemed to enjoy themselves and we sort of decided we would do it again this year.”

Early registration should be completed by May 23, with forms and money turned into the North Greene High School office. Early registration fees for the 5k are $25 and $12 for the fun run.

Early registration participants will receive a “Cakes ‘N Eggs” T-shirt. Registration is still available up until race day, but after the May 23 deadline the fee will be $30 for the 5k and $15 for the fun run.

For more information, contact Hoesman at 217-622-6076 or call the high school office at 374-2131. You may also contact any Class of 2016 class member for more information.

Proceeds will directly support the NGHS Class of 2016.

From left, Carl Moran, John Griswold and U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) pose in front of the Washington Monument during an Honor Flight trip April 29.

Griswold part of 26th Honor Flight event to Washington D.C.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press White Hall native John Griswold was one of approximately 90 veterans to make the trip to Washington D.C. on the 26th Land of Lincoln Honor Flight to view the various memorials erected in honor of our nation’s heroes.

Griswold served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1955, stationed in a mobile Army surgical hospital (MASH) unit in Germany. He and his guardian, Carl Moran, made the daylong trip to Washington on April 28, and it is an experience neither of them will ever forget.

“The trip was absolutely wonderful and extremely well organized,” Griswold said. “Even though we packed a lot into a single day, none of us ever felt rushed.”

The Honor Flight Network program was conceived by Earl Morse, a physician assistant and Retired Air Force captain. The inaugural Honor Flight Tour took place in May of 2005 when six small planes flew out of Springfield, Ohio, taking 12 World War II veterans on a visit to the memorial in Washington, D.C. The Honor Flight program is a nation-wide network dedicated to providing all veterans who apply a free trip to Washington, D.C. to visit memorials honoring their service and sacrifice. Land of Lincoln Honor Flight, Inc is a not for profit hub of the Honor Flight Program established in 2009. They receive no federal or state funding and rely solely on donations, sponsorships and fundraising.

Priority is given to the veterans of World War II or those veterans with a terminal illness. All expenses for this one-day trip are provided free for the veterans including plane fair, meals, beverages, etc. Each trip costs around $70,000 with the plane and crew for the day being $56,000 of the cost.

Through the end of 2012, over 98,500 veterans had been transported to Washington D.C. through the 127 hubs in 41 states.

Each veterans is accompanied by a guardian on the flight. Guardians are responsible for their own expenses.

Moran was honored to accompany his long time friend to the nation’s capitol.

“His wife, Billye, asked me last year if he ever got chosen to go on the honor flight if I would go with him,” Moran said. “It was a great experience for me and I know it was one for him.”

After leaving the airport in Springfield, the 90 veterans, their

guardians and honor flight volunteers landed at Reagan International Airport in Washington. They were greeted by the airport fire department who had water trucks shooting a water cannon salute over the plane. Inside the airport an enthusiastic crowd created the veterans.

“We began the day at the World War II Memorial and then met Representative Rodney Davis who had come out to welcome us,” Griswold said.

Then it was on to visit the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. And then the group went to view the Pentagon, visit the Air Force Memorial, Marine Corp War Memorial and finally Arlington National Cemetery.

Moran said the Changing of the Guard and the lowering of the colors at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an unforgettable and sobering experience.

“Although the elite group of soldiers who guard the tomb can’t speak or look directly at the crowd, our guide asked us to listen closely during a part of the ceremony, when the guards would drag their heels slightly across the concrete in honor of the veterans,” Moran said.

Griswold said Arlington was a highlight for him, too.

“The most impressive thing to me was Arlington Cemetery,” Griswold said. “I also enjoyed the Air Force Museum in connection with the Smithsonian located at Dulles Airport. Also unforgettable was the fire department with their water cannon salute along with all the people who came out to greet us when we arrived. Not to mention all the people who came to welcome us back home in Springfield. It was all very touching and heart warming I feel privileged to have been a part of this experience.”

The veterans walked or were pushed in their wheelchairs the length of the corridors in the airport led by a bagpiper through crowds holding signs and flats, shaking their hands and thanking them for their service.

“Even after this day just for them, the veterans of a great era were still asking, ‘why would anyone do this for us,’” Moran said. “To be able to visit these landmarks with the veterans and watch their reactions to and listen to the comments made by these veterans was one of the greatest and most humbling experiences of my life.”

Lifepoint Church, formerly called the Assembly of God, located on the corner of Fourth and Sycamore streets in Carrollton, held its first service as Lifepoint on Easter Sunday. Pastor Scott Wade said the church is still an Assembly of God Church with the same beliefs with just a new look and a new delivery of the message.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press If you have driven through Carrollton and noticed all the bright red signs for Lifepoint Church and wondered just where this new church is – then join the group. However, it’s not a new church. Lifepoint Church is actually the Assembly of God Church, located on Fourth Street next to the grade school.

Pastor Scott Wade said they have not pulled out of the Assembly of God Church and still have the same belief system and faith tenants.

“It is just basically a repackaging of our looks and I guess the delivery of those beliefs and getting back to our roots,” Wade said. “Instead of being inward focused, the main point I think for our church is that we had to stop having church in a way that is just comfortable and secure for us.”

Wade said the church wanted to become more active and maybe even a little more up-todate.

“We still have the same message, the same beliefs, we are just rebranding ourselves,” Wade said. “The way I like to describe it to our folks is it is like putting new clothes on. We have a different attitude about what the church is supposed to be doing and a new attitude about reaching our community. This whole thing came out of that desire and so we felt like we needed to kind of do something as an outward expression of that inward change.”

Thus, the name change.

“Lifepoint is significant because the name reflects our hearts' desire to be a connecting point for the people to be able to connect with the life that Christ has for them and what he wants to do in their life and be able to experience the kind of life that he wants them to experience,” Wade said.

The time had come to change the mindset and go out of that comfort zone.

“We feel like one of our core values is that we need to prioritize the next generation – whether it is the next generation of children, or young people, or husbands and wives, or next generation of leaders or parents,” Wade said. “We are prioritizing the delivery of our ministry in a way that is appealing and hopefully attractive to the next generation.”

This includes a more contemporary delivery.

“The feel of our worship service is certainly different than what it felt like before with more

contemporary feel of music,” Wade said. “I teach in a very practical way, so hopefully people can take something from each message and take it home and apply it to their life that week.”

Wade said he uses several different methods of illustrating his point, sometimes through video clips or object lessons.

“One Sunday we showed a little clip with Phil and Kate Robertson from ‘Duck Dynasty’ to illustrate a point,” Wade said.

“A few weeks back I dropped 300 ping pong balls from the ceiling just to make a point.

Because when we can see things with our eyes it kind of helps us to remember and make the connection point with what God is saying in the scriptures.”

It’s a radical departure from sermons of the past which many older members of the church are used to.

“Let’s just say that the older generation is embracing it cautiously,” Wade said. “It took courage for our church to make the changes we have made. I’m not going to sit here and say they love our music and they are embracing it, but I think many of them are embracing the overall idea.”

This change wasn’t implemented overnight.

“We’ve had probably 15 or 20 in-house membership meetings just dealing with the changes and this is ultimately something we did together,” Wade said.

“This wasn’t just me going to the congregation and saying this is what I want to do – this was us kind of looking in our heart and saying ‘We need to change.’”

Easter Sunday was the official launch of Lifepoint Church and if numbers are any indication, it is going to be a rousing success.

“Easter was kind of our ‘coming out’ days and we had 150 in service that day and I grew up here and I don’t’ ever remember seeing that many people here in one day, so it is very exciting for us,” Wade said. “Our typical Sundays up to now we had been running between 50 and 60.”

Lifepoint Church has Sunday school at 9 a.m. followed by church services at 10 a.m.

Youth ministries are at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. Prior to youth services, at 6:30 p.m. a halfhour prayer time is held.

Wade said he doesn’t want to give the impression that Lifepoint Church is better than any of the other churches.

“All of the churches in Carrollton are doing a great thing – everybody needs to know that,” Wade said. “We are just doing it our way.”

(Continued from A1) missions, the flight crew would get out on the end of the plane and jump up and down to slosh the gasoline so they could get an extra 50 gallons in there,” Banghart said. “Their fuel tanks were in the wings and that extra 50 gallons they managed to get in there might mean the difference in completing a mission. Fuel was very precious and often times they would dump their heaviest cargo just so they could burn less fuel to get back to base.”

Rep. Davis presented Banghart with the following decorations

“Last year we built a new cattle barn out there and if we have extra funds we try to keep improving things out there,” Grummel said.

“It’s something we are always trying to do – make things newer. One of these days we will have everything new and start all over again.”

Harness racing will be held Tuesday and Wednesday evening with the Downstate Classic being held on Tuesday night with purses exceeding $10,000 in each division.

Saturday, June 14, is chock full of events including sand volleyball and mud drags followed Sunday by the Western Horse Show. The Demolition Derby closes out the fair on Saturday, June 21.

“It is a privilege to be able to help families like the Bangharts get medals that have been earned over the years. It’s a humbling experience for me and I’m just thankful they allowed me the opportunity to even help.”

Of course, there will be a midway for carnival rides each evening for the kids.

The fair board has also been holding fundraisers. A recent supper at Brass Door raised money for the fair and a gun raffle is expected to be a very successful fundraiser.

There will be a drawing for a different gun each of the 12 months of the year. Including the early bird prize, there are a total of 13 guns set to be given away.

“If you’re not a firearm person, there is a cash option you can take instead of the gun,” Grummel said.

“We encourage people to donate as that is what has kept us going.”

“I would love to see this become a regular event at our Relay,” Henson said. “Our little ones fight just as hard, and sometimes harder, than those of us who are adults. I would love to see them be an integral part in our Relay For Life event and be recognized for the bravery they show as tiny caretakers and survivors themselves.”

Eldred Baptist Church news As reported by Mary Eustace Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor A Mother’s heart is a garden of love…Proverbs 31:26-30.

Our church is so very blessed with all ages of Mother’s. Saturday we held our annual Mother/ Daughter Luncheon in our fellowship hall. Great lunch provided by CeeGeez of Carrollton. Our special speaker was Angie Carpenter and a poem read by Jackie Lakin.

Sunday service this May 11th was directed to things we love about our Mother’s. A very special story was read by Denny Vetter mentioning how very precious every day is with people you love. Always tell your Mom you love her and you are thankful for her. Pastor Don wanted us to remember that Mother’s play a significant role in the upbringing of our children.

Our sermon was “Characteristics of a Godly Mother” 1 Samuel 1 & 2. Moms have a great honor and charge…the care of the home..the raising of children (the work part at least) the partner in family life and management…the partner in training up God focused children.

Mothers have a great task.

Samuel, the first prophet of Israel, was blessed by GOD with a Godly mother, Hannah. Pastor Don told us about 3 characteristics of this Godly mother Hannah. 1) Hannah had a personal relationship with GOD. 2) Hannah had personal communication with GOD and 3) family worship is central to family success.

By grace through faith a fam-

ily worships together. Hannah was able to boldly and confidently talk and pray with our Lord.. A personal relationship with GOD comes through a person knowing His Son and GOD remembering His promise to redeem them through His Son. Godly Mother’s know GOD personally. We have access to the Creator of all things, the author and finisher of our faith, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the all-knowing, all-wise, all-powerful, all-loving all-caring GOD. The only GOD and He wants you to know Him and communicate with Him. Our church serves a Children’s Ministry supper and a lesson on Jesus each Wednesday evening at 6 pm for all local children. Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. A new class has started and if you are interested, please call Thea Adcock at (217) 983-2724 .Our Sunday services include Sunday school at 9 am for adults and children’s classes and regular services at 10 am. Our services are always open, please come and join us.

If you need spiritual service or counsel, please don’t hesitate to contact our church. You may reach Pastor Don at (618) 751-0007. You may also reach Pastor Don at doncarp@hotmail.com.

Our church is so very blessed to have Don Carpenter and his family to be a very special part of Eldred Baptist Church.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Walkerville Baptist Church news What a beautiful Mother’s Day. There were flowers everywhere.

Thank you to the ones who brought flowers for all the mothers and a special thank you to our minister’s wife for the beautiful, thoughtful little basket she made for all the mothers. That was something very special and we thank her for her love and thoughtfulness. We appreciate her so very much. She is really very special. If you were ever around where she is for a little while you would know what I mean. We are happy to have them both with us.

We were happy and surprised to have some visitors with us and pray that they will come back. We had a duet special. Doing better girls, keep it up. Also had a special by Gene Ridenbarh. We all enjoyed that and know it brought glory to God. We had a really good service.

A good message from Matt. 15:21.

The questions were answered very well. The Arch Angel Michael argued over the body of Moses.

Psalm 136 – all the verses end in the same five words – for his mercy endureth forever.

This week’s question – who burned a snake alive? Answer is in the Book of Acts.

Our prayer list is: Anne Ford, Andy Ross, Tom Morehead, Brenda Sexton, Brenda Early, Gene Ridenbark, Ray and Batty Baldes, John Garner and the Garner family, the Stone family, the Applegate family (on the death of Terry), Robert Lawson, Ed Crabtree and Susie Kuiper. Plus all those who were not there. And all the farmers. There is still a lot of work to do and we praise God for the rain around Walkerville we got – one and four tenths inch and that really helped. Mores is forecast for tonight. Thank you to the one who mowed the church yard last wek. Don’t know who but God bless you.

When you miss church you miss something that goes with you all week. You just feel uplifted by the hand of God as you work and it makes you feel like you need another uplifting by God and want to go back. It is always good to fellowship with God’s people.

The mother’s had family plans.

We had a most delicious dinner with our son and daughter in law.

As you all know, there is no better cook anywhere. Everything was so perfect. Thanks to them both. They too are so special. In a world where blind guides lead the unsuspecting to oblivioun, God promises to give both sight and insight to dads and moms who must guide their families. “I will instruct you and teach you I’m the why you should go. I will guide you with my eye. Psalm 32:8 Mothers who are looking for direction seek God’s face. If you would have life abundant, obey his words. Thanks for being a mom.

There is no better gift so great as that of being a mother. A child is a gift from God. See you in church Sunday.

From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.

Proverbs 13:2

Imagine a newscast every evening with headlines such as "Crime Is Down" and "Charitable Giving Is Up" and "People Are Helping Others Everywhere." Miracle of Miracles, that is indeed the case in many places around the world, but you wouldn't know it from watching the news. But, perhaps one way to put all of this good news in perspective is to realize that people helping others is such a commonplace practice that it doesn't make the news unless it's something really extraordinary.

Likewise, the millionaires and billionaires who give generously have become so commonplace that they even have their own club and well over a hundred have signed onto a pledge, the so-called "Giving Pledge,” which commits them to give away the bulk of their fortunes.

People who perform horrific acts of cruelty or commit heinous crimes are pretty much the exception to the rule of people acting decently, and that is why their heinous crimes make the news. It's just too shocking to ignore. So, perhaps we should remind ourselves every day of the Good News that is all around and spread the word to others.

GREENFIELD NEWS

People’s Bank & Trust names Volunteer of the Quarter

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

\Easter weekend I had a glorious time. Each day my son called me from Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. Debbi drove my car to Meehan’s IGA Store - I rode along to see my tulips, daffodils, the red bud trees and people. My cousin Gary McCollom visited with me. Good Friday he and his wife Elizabeth had gone to Florrisant, Mo where they enjoyed their daughter’s religion play “The Resurrection” at her church.

After worship with Rev. Chaz Stanley and Bobby Schullar’s Hour of Power, I flipped on channel 9. Lo and behold it was Fred Astaire and Judy Garland in “The Easter Parade”.

Bright and early the phone rang.

“Happy Easter Great-grandma, we love you, than you for the money.

We’re throwing you a kiss. We caught your kiss”. They were having their egg hunt with cousins. Clifton called from Arizona. I told him I had three antique gifts for him.

His grandma Caroline Love’s Larkin Scissors - 93 years old from great aunt Jennie Love Jones. Shapleigh’s scissors purchased by his grandpa Nile Love from Willis Park’s South Side hardware to cut oilcloth wallpaper from Kenyon Bott’s parents, Pauline and O.J. Bott - I don’t believe that Kenyon had been born.

Debbi and I feasted on potato salad, deviled eggs, ham and strawberries. When Clifton called he said, “He is Risen!” When I called my sister Melba Love Robinson in Colorado she sang “Christ our Lord is risen today, hallelujah!”

Jack and Eleanor Ross attended the Cantata at the Greenfield Methodist Church and the catered meal afterwards as did many people - the Ross’ were kind enough to report to me.

Easter Sunday Jack and Eleanor Ross enjoyed the meal and day at the home of their son Chuck and wife Betsy Ross. Greg and Pam Ross and Mike and Pat Ross were also in attendance.

It is a joy to listen to my people as I gather the news. J.B. Smith (d) rode back and forth to school when I taught Jericho. Friday morning he would say with fail, “Tonight I get out at Birtie and Sara Jones Ashlock’s to have a cup of tea and gather the news.”

For Easter brunch Marg Melvin Hankens went to the home of her niece and husband Rhonda and Jerry Walker. Claudia Samps and husband of Jacksonville, Linda and Bob Cox of Girard, son Brad.

Marge was talking to daughters in Texas. The white iris that aunt Mary Rita Naber Melvin (d) gave to them are in full bloom. The years have passed in a hurry since Marg cut out and made beautiful dresses, coats and bonnets for her three daughters to wear to church Easter Sunday.

Viv and Capp Rimbey of Rockbridge had an Easter egg hunt for grandkids and great-grandkids. Lynn and family, Deb and family, pat and Rosalea Hughs were the guests.

Denzil Dwight (my piano tuner)

called and changed his appointment, it was his mom’s birthday. Happy birthday to you, only one will not do, born again means salvation! How many have you?

Christopher “Chris” Poetschner, son of Rev. Hans and Rev. charlotte Poetschner of Springfield will leave from Chicago for Vienna, Austria. He has accepted a position with the state of Austria Broadcasting Company.

He will spend weekends with family in the home where his father lived in Vienna.

“My May Basket to you” At evening when I go to bed, I see the stars shine overhead.

They are the little daisies white that dot the meadow of the night.

And often when I’m dreaming so, across the sky the moon will go.

It is a lovely lady face, who’s come to gather daisies fare.

For in the morning I arise, there’s not a star left in the skies.

She’s picked them all and dropped them down into the meadow of the town.

My mother taught me the above poem. Happy Mother’s Day! May Day Baskets. It was May 1, 1932. Mother, Mel and I were fashio9ing baskets using wallpaper sample books. No pages were alike. Some were pink rose buds, some yellow butterflies, others violets - you think about it, and we had it.

There was a knock on the door. It was my friend Betty Barton brooks England (d). she had Fern and a tulip in her hand for my mother.

She apologized for having no basket, saying, “We have no paper nor corn. We had no flowers but we had fudge.” Mother showed me the way to cut the handles and baskets in one piece. The neatest were in the shape of a cornucopia. We made one for Grammy Barton, one for aunt Amy (Bud’s mom) and one for Harriet (Bet’s mom). Mom and I had already delivered Mildred McCall’s and Stringer’s.

When we took Bet’s mom’s we took a wallpaper sample book for the Barton’s to use. Cecil Murphy of Carlinville sent these by dad for Mel and me to make paper dolls and doll houses.

Bud Barton washed and dried tin cans and put divinity inside for us to eat. They had no flowers that early.

We thought candy to be great!

One-year mother brought us creamed peas and potatoes and a chocolate pie. Last year Debbi and Beth surprised me with a fern to enjoy.

‘Til next time.

Atkinson to celebrate 80th birthday Evelyn Harmon Atkinson of White Hall will celebrate her 80th birthday on May 17. She worked many years at the garment factory and later became a retired housewife. She welcomes calls and cards from her family and friends to celebrate this joyous occasion.

Exercise offers something for everyone

By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press

They say variety is the spice of life and it’s certainly true in the fitness arena. No matter what the fitness level, there is an exercise program out there – it just has to be found.

LAZ Fitness is just one of many different group exercise programs in the Greene County area focusing on cardio, strength and toning workouts.

LAZ Fitness is owned and operated by husband and wife team Larry and Amy Lowis of Piasa.

Together they hold three different classes each week on Monday and Wednesday in Carrollton.

Both are AFAA certified in Group Fitness Exercise.

Amy Lowis said she first became interested in fitness in 2009 when she began taking Zumba classes with a friend in Alton.

“After I started taking the classes I fell in love with it and wanted to venture out on my own,” she said. “My friend encouraged me so in 2010 I got my licensing for Zumba and then my husband joined me in teaching Zumba in 2011. I became certified to teach group fitness classes in January of 2012.”

Though they live in Piasa, they hold their exercises classes at Boyd Hospital and coming June 18, they will be holding an aqua class at the Carrollton Pool.

No longer associated with Zumba, they teach an hour long Z-Blast exercise class, which is a high intensity cardio class followed by a half-hour core class for strength training.

“Z-Blast is a high intensity integral cardio class and it’s kind of like you do aerobics and all different sorts of things wrapped into a one hour session,” Lowis said. “The core exercises help

to build strength in all of the muscles of the mid-section of the body, including muscles in the upper legs and back as well as the stomach.”

Last year was the first year she held the aqua fitness classes at the pool and they were so successful she is bringing them back again with a 45-minute class on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:45 p.m.

“Aqua classes are lower impact exercises so if you have bad knees or joints or you just can’t handle the impact then these classes are for you,” Lowis said. “The water acts as the resistant so it is all toning. The water does the work for you.”

The core classes feature kettle bells which Lowis describes as metal ball with a handle on it which is used for strength training.

Lowis said the group fitness classes provide some with that

Tips to get fit this summer

(StatePoint) Everybody wants to be in shape for bathing suit season, but all those fun seasonal activities -from barbecues to vacations to baseball games -- can derail a diet.

Here are some tips to help you get fit, so you can look and feel your best all summer: Vacations It’s tempting to leave healthy habits behind when heading out of town. But an off week can permanently wreck your diet.

When possible, opt for active vacations, such as camping trips or touring a city by foot. If you’re planning a more sedentary getaway, stay somewhere with a fitness facility.

Vacations can be rare, so don’t sacrifice all the treats of the trip. Prioritize meal-time indulgences so you can enjoy yourself mindfully. For travel days, pack healthful snacks such as fresh fruit, nuts and yogurt as alternatives to high-calorie airport or roadside food.

Daily Diet It’s important to assess whether you’re eating the foods you need to get “fit,” versus foods that merely encourage weight loss, say experts.

“Unfortunately, many fad diets

Did you know?

According to the National Sleep Foundation, a short nap of 20 to 30 minutes can improve alertness and performance without creating feelings of grogginess or interfering with nighttime sleep. A NASA study that examined sleepy pilots and astronauts found that those who napped for 40 minutes improved their performance by 34 percent.

While napping can be beneficial, napping can have a negative impact as well. For example, those who nap too late in the day may struggle to get a decent night's rest later that night, when the length and quality of sleep may not be as long or as strong as it would had they not napped so late in the day. Men and women who find themselves suddenly need naps despite no obvious cause of fatigue should consult their physicians, as this might be indicative of a sleep disorder or another medical condition.

up to 82.

“We have all fitness levels in our classes because we can modify the exercises,” she said. “The water class is very good for that because if someone has had surgery and they can’t really do a lot impact but they can still do the aqua classes. We have all different ages and we try to keep it interesting for everyone.”

can leave you feeling fatigued, sluggish or undernourished,” says Andrew Eckhardt, Owner and Founder of ThinSlim Foods and a veteran diet food consumer.

To eat right, don’t starve yourself.

Stock up on fruits and vegetables, lowfat dairy and lean meats. And just because you’re slimming down or maintaining your already svelte figure, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your favorite foods or go carb-free.

“Alternative foods can allow you to enjoy favorite options without expending your calorie budget in one meal,” says Eckhardt.

Try replacing standard cake or wheat flours with healthy alternatives, like oat fiber and almond fiber. In one shot, you’ll cut calories and increase your protein and fiber intake. If regular baking is unrealistic, look for brands that replace low-quality inexpensive flours and sugar substitutes with goodfor-you alternatives.

For example, ThinSlim Foods, makes brownies, cookies, bagels, bread and even pizza using healthful ingredients like oat fiber, almond flour and the all-natural sweetener Erythritol. These low fat and low carb foods eliminate artificial flavors, preservatives, high-

fructose corn syrup and synthetic colors. They also have 50 to 70 percent less carbs and fat compared to other market options. The brand’s master bakers worked alongside nutritional experts to confirm that they are appropriate for gluten-free, hypoglycemia and other digestive and dietary sensitivities.

More information about healthfully incorporating baked goods into your diet can be found at www.ThinSlimFoods.com.

Exercise Summer is a great opportunity to start a fitness regimen that you can stick with all year. You should strive to get at least two and a half hours a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, preferably spread throughout the week, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Additionally, you should incorporate muscle-strengthening activities into your regimen to stay strong and improve your metabolism. A workout buddy can help you stay motivated.

Wherever summer takes you, you can look and feel great, while enjoying all your favorite foods and activities.

are you taking the right vitamins and nutrients?

(StatePoint) If you eat a healthful diet, you may think you’re in the clear when it comes to supplying your body with vital nutrients. But some experts say that even the most well-rounded meal plans fall short.

“To get the amount of nutrients you need to thrive, you can’t rely on food alone. You really have to turn to dietary supplements,” says Michael A. Smith M.D., host of “Healthy Talk” on RadioMD.com and senior health scientist with Life Extension in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

If you’ve ever walked through the supplement section of a natural foods store or done a quick search online, you know it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the choices. Making matters more confusing, everyone has different nutritional needs.

“With the exception of a few foundational nutrients, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all supplement regimen,” says Smith, whose new book and educational tool, “The Supplement Pyramid,” seeks to help readers design a nutritional regimen that meets their unique needs. “Like food, it’s helpful to think of your supplement needs in a tiered pyramid structure: the foun-

extra motivation needed to stick with an exercise program.

“There are some people who have to have a friend to go with them to enjoy it,” Lowis said.

“But I think if you enjoy what you are doing you are going to stick with it whether you are in a group or do it as an individual.”

The real key to success is finding a program you like and there are several in the area.

“It’s great because everybody doesn’t like the same thing,” Lowis said. “Some people might prefer working out with weights while others prefer the programs more centered around dance and movement. Other people like the cross-fit classes which is really intense training. It’s just what you like and what you are comfortable with. The more fitness available, the better because people can always find something they like.”

Lowis said her participants range in age from 16 all the way

dational supplements we all need, personalized supplements based on your needs and optimal supplements for living healthier, longer.”

Smith is offering guidelines for getting started: n Bootleg products on the market can do more harm than good. Invest in high-quality nutritional supplements.

Stick with a company that has an established track record of using only pure, potent raw materials. n There are essential foundational supplements that should build the base of most people’s plans, no matter what their unique needs are, Smith says.

These include an ideally dosed multivitamin/mineral, omega-3 fatty acids, coenzyme Q10 (as ubiquinol) and probiotics. Check with your doctor before starting a supplement regimen. n Everybody has their own personal medical history and health needs.

With do-it-yourself detective work, you can arm yourself with the facts you need to personalize your supplement plan for disease prevention.

Beyond taking a personal and family medical inventory, certain laboratory tests can help you discover out what’s going on inside your body. Additionally,

“The Supplement Pyramid” contains a series of medical quizzes based on clinical risk assessments in different areas including heart health, cognitive function and immune strength. n After providing your body with core, foundational nutrients for survival and custom-tailored supplements to help prevent disease, consider optimizing your supplemental regimen with “anti-aging supplements” such as antioxidants, proteins and amino acids. These supplements form the top of your pyramid, and if you need to cut back on expenses, should be the first to go.

Getting started is simple. And the sooner you do, the faster you can begin properly nourishing and protecting your body from health risks.

For free tools to build your personal supplement regimen and for more information about Smith’s new book, visit www.MySupplementPyramid.com or call 1-855-870-0687.

Even if you juice every morning and hit the salad bar at lunch every afternoon, don’t be lulled into nutritional complacency. By learning more about your body’s needs, you can live a longer, healthier, happier life.

Tips to get your family to eat healthier snacks (StatePoint) With so much junk food available on store shelves these days, it’s important to take a step back from time-to-time and evaluate what you feed your family. Snack time in particular is when a lot great parents serve up some not-so-great offerings.

Here are a few ways to make sure you’re providing your family with some crucial vitamins and minerals during snack time: Vitamin C Vitamin C is important for strengthening immunity.

Whenever kids gather in large groups, such as in the classroom, at after-school, activities, or on the monkey bars, germs have a tendency to travel. But a regular dose of vitamin C can help keep kids cold and flu-free.

With that in mind, hydrate kids with orange juice or lemonade instead of soda. For snacks, try kiwi, citrus fruits and slices of bell pepper.

Calcium It’s almost impossible to cut out all sweets and treats, particularly when kids are involved! So rather than saying “no” to something delicious, ensure the sweet treats you serve your family offer some nutritional benefit.

For example, Snack Pack pudding cups contain as much calcium as an 8 ounce glass of milk (30 percent of your needed daily value) and are 60-120 calories per serving, which won’t break the calorie bank. With more than 20 flavors, including sugar-free and fat-free varieties, kids won`t get

bored, so it’s easy to keep lunch or snack time fresh.

Protein Protein is tricky because there are so many foods that contain a good dosage of protein, but aren’t necessarily the most healthful options.

Limit sources of protein that are high in saturated fats, which can raise cholesterol and contribute to obesity. Instead, opt for healthful snacks like unsalted nuts and seeds. A trail mix is a satisfying way to up your kids’ protein intake, and is a great on-the-go option.

Ensuring kids’ snacks are nutritionally beneficial is a great first step you can take to ensure they’re getting the vitamins and nutrients they need each day.

Farmers benefit from city’s lime disposal

By ROBERT LYONS Greene Prairie Press Farmers in the Illinois River valley are enjoying the benefits of lime applications without having to pay the price.

Calcium carbonate, lime, is a byproduct from the water treatment process used by the city of Jerseyville.

City Engineer Bob Kincade said, though it may sound strange, the city uses lime to reduce the amount of lime in its water.

“We feed a hydrated lime to our water, which raises the pH and causes everything to drop out, including the dissolved lime that’s in the water,” he said. “It causes it to fall out as calcium carbonate.”

In a year’s time, the city produces up to 1.5 million gallons of calcium carbonate, which Kincade said is also referred to as lime sludge. The lime sludge is redissolved into water and is pumped into a tanker truck. It is then delivered to local farm fields and the liquid lime is spread by tractor.

“It’s the same product, essentially, that farmers use for liming their soil to raise the pH in it. Farmers get the benefit of the lime already being dissolved and being ready to go into the ground,” Kincade said. “What it does is it allows for a somewhat instantaneous increase in their pH on their fields.”

The city engineer said soil could go from a pH level of six to anywhere as high as eight with one application, depending on how much lime the farmer requests.

Kincade said each year the city’s lime sludge treats between 600 and 800 acres of area farmland, and each

application is typically effective for six to eight years.

One of the most attractive aspects for both the city of Jerseyville and the farmers receiving the lime is the cost savings, according to Kincade. He said one of the greatest expenses in the process is the fuel required to transport and spread the product.

“It’s an advantage to us to do the disposal without having to dry it out, cake it and put in to a landfill,” he said. “We have not yet been able to get any farmers to participate in the costs.

We’re hoping eventually they will.”

In 2013, the city spread 1.1 million gallons over fields belonging to four different farmers over the course of nine days. The total cost was $45,589.64, which included employee wages, tractor rentals, trucking charges, lab testing fees and fuel costs. Since 2000, the city has spent just more than $500,000 by spreading it over fields.

If the city had to dispose of the leftover calcium carbonate in a landfill, the cost would be much greater.

Kincade said a piece of equipment costing more than $1 million would need to be purchased to remove the water from the sludge. Then the costs of caking it, hauling it away and landfill fees would have to be figured in.

He said areas in Rosedale Township have received a bulk of the liquified calcium carbonate. Even though the region is known for being rich in limestone, Kincade said farm soil becomes depleted.

“As you farm a field, you’re removing all these nutrients from it,” he said.

“You’re changing the pH of the soil and if it drops too much it’s hard to support the plants.”

The water department is explor-

ing another way to help area farmers, as well. The sludge byproduct of the wastewater treatment facility may soon find its way to farmers’ fields.

Kincade said the city may be a few years away from being able to market the sludge removed at the wastewater plant. He said the product would be use as a nitrogen fertilizer.

“I think that day may be coming because it’s a cheaper source of nitrogen than having anhydrous put down,” Kincade said. “It’s a lot safer product.

Our only problem is the amount we generate isn’t enough to take care of all the farmers in the area.”

Caleb Gourley's grandmother, Diane, listens intently as he tells a story Monday morning during Carrollton Grade School's Muffins with Mom.

Sixth grader Kennedy Ruyle eyes a partially eaten muffin while she has breakfast with her grandma, Pam Ruyle, during Muffins with Mom at the Carrollton Grade School on Monday morning.

Ten students from Carrollton Grade School were honored to participate in the first annual Calhoun-Greene-Jersey County Spelling Bee held in White Hall. Students in grades 4-8 were chosen during a preliminary spelling bee at their grade level. The students who went on to the county spelling bee were: Antonio Presley and Laina Bennett (fourth grade); Gabby Carroll and Matthew Retherford (fifth grade); Maggie Evans and Brianna Miller (sixth grade); Savannah Watts and Elle Geers (seventh grade); Jackie Maynard and Noah Robinson (eighth grade). At the county bee, three Carrollton students took home medals. Gabby Carroll and Elle Geers both placed 2nd in their age division, and Jackie Maynard placed 1st in the eighth grade division. Pictured, left to right: Elle Geers, Noah Robinson, Matthew Retherford, Brianna Miller, Antonio Presley, Maggie Evans, Laina Bennett, Savannah Watts, Gabby Carroll, and Jackie Maynard.

Mentors wanted: How to guide more young women to success in STEM Careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are growing and quickly. By 2023, STEM will generate a projected 2.6 million new jobs, creating a high demand for qualified employees with STEM backgrounds in the coming years, according to Georgetown Public Policy Institute’s Center on Education and the Workforce.

Despite attractive career opportunities for the next generation of STEM workers, the industry continues to be predominantly male. Women make up only 24 percent of the STEM workforce, the U.S. Department of Commerce reports.

Several programs nationwide are working to close the gender gap by encouraging participation among female students in STEM projects, activities and lessons early on in their education. DeVry University’s HerWorld is one such program. Its mission is to educate high school girls about STEM-related fields and connect them with real-life role models.

Throughout March, designated National HerWorld Month by DeVry University, thousands of young women will interact with their peers, learn from experienced women in high-visibility STEM careers, and participate in confidence-building activities and hands-on workshops at HerWorld events across the country.

“HerWorld was created 17 years ago to fill a need for programs that support and develop high school girls’ interest in STEM,” says Dr. Donna M. Loraine, provost/vice president of academic affairs at DeVry University.

One-third of women who enter STEM bachelor’s degree programs after high school switch their major to a non-STEM field by the time they graduate, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Education and National Center for Education Statistics. Demonstrating to teenage girls that there are women who will support them through their journey in STEM is an important part of HerWorld’s objective.

Congratulations to all

Congratulationstotoall all Congratulations Carrollton & Greenfield Graduates Carrollton&&Greenfield GreenfieldGraduates Graduates Carrollton

This year for National HerWorld Month, DeVry University is partnering again with Mayim Bialik, best known for her television roles on “The Big Bang Theory” and “Blossom.” The renewed partnership between Bialik and DeVry is a natural fit given Bialik’s own STEM background: she earned her Doctorate of philosophy in neuroscience in 2007.

“My biology tutor on the set of ‘Blossom’ was a tremendously significant mentor for me, inspiring me to look at science and my academic skills in a different way,” says Bialik.

The STEM industry has garnered national attention recently, most notably in President Obama’s 2014 State of the Union Address.

“Teachers and principals in schools from Tennessee to Washington, D.C. are making big strides in preparing students with skills for the new economy - problem solving, critical thinking, science, technology, engineering, and math,” says President Obama.

“Some of this change is hard. It requires everything from much more challenging curriculums and more demanding parents to better support for teachers and new ways to measure how well our kids think, not how well they can fill in a bubble on a test.

But it’s worth it - and it’s working.”

HerWorld is part of this national momentum. Bialik and guest speakers who are role models from a variety of STEM backgrounds will show high school girls how they can apply their skills and intelligence to unique and interesting careers in STEM. Programs like HerWorld address a vital need to provide girls interested in STEM with mentors who can guide and motivate them throughout their educational and professional journeys. Closing the gender gap requires opening the eyes of the next generation to the many possibilities in STEM, and no one can do that better than the women who have seen their own aspirations come to fruition.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Regional tourneys approaching SAM eLLIoTT Greene Prairie Press White Hall will host an upcoming Class 1A baseball regional tournament, but Greene County's baseball and softball postseason will begin there and in Carrollton and Brussels as the playoffs get going with four games Monday for area teams.

The North Greene baseball team and Carrollton's softball squad will be the only county teams not in action Monday.

The Spartans — the No. 2 seed behind Calhoun at the White Hall Regional — will wait until 4:30 p.m. Thursday, May 22, for their regional semifinal outing.

North Greene (18-8) shared this season's Western Illinois Valley Conference South championship with Calhoun after both teams went 7-1 within league play.

"The boys are really doing a good job. Our pitching’s been great and our defense has been really good," Spartans head coach Jim Roesch said. "Recently we’ve been hitting the ball pretty well against good teams, too.

Hopefully we can be on top of our game going into regionals."

Successfully defending a conference championship was a first for the North Greene baseball program.

"I’m proud of the boys for the fact they’ve got back-to-back titles," Roesch said. "We lost four starters from last year, but we had six back and a few who played a lot. They’ve done a good job.

We’ve only had three conference titles in baseball in school history and these guys have gotten two of them back-to-back."

North Greene's regional semifinal opponent will be determined when the No. 3 seed Carrollton Hawks face No. 6 Pleasant Hill at 4:30 p.m. Monday at Carrollton High School.

The Hawks are 13-14 this season after splitting a doubleheader Saturday at Riverton High School. Carrollton lost a 10-0 decision in the opener, but bounced back to overcome an 11-2 deficit and claim a 13-11 victory in nine innings in the finale.

Carrollton trailed 11-6 entering the seventh, but rallied to force extra innings before plating the game-winning runs in the ninth.

Jerrett Smith swung for four hits as he and Austin Ringhausen drove home three runs each. Luke Palan and Ethan Frye both had three hits and two runs scored and combined for three runs batted in while relief pitcher Caleb Watts earned the win from the mound in relief of Jacob Smith.

Greenfield-Northwestern will send both its baseball and softball teams to southern Calhoun County to begin their respective postseasons. The Tigers and Lady Tigers are their respective regionals' No. 5 seeds and will face No. 4 Brussels at 4:30 p.m.

Monday at Brussels High School.

Monday's winners in Brussels will face No. 1 seed Calhoun in both sports.

The softball squads will play a regional semifinal at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Hardin Class 1A Regional while the baseball teams will face off at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, in White Hall.

The Carrollton Lady Hawks (20-7) and North Greene Lady Spartans (10-13) are the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively, at the Hardin softball regional.

North Greene will host No. 6 Pleasant Hill at 4:30 p.m. Monday in White Hall with the winner facing Carrollton in a semifinal matchup at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, in Hardin. selliott@campbellpublications.net

North Greene sending four to junior high state CARMeN eNSINGeR Greene Prairie Press Four North Greene junior high athletes will compete at the state track and field meet this weekend in Peoria. Sixth grader Lakeleigh Brown will take part in three events after a strong performance at the sectional meet Saturday at Southwestern.

She’ll be joined by eighth graders Madison Evans — competing in the 400-meter run and both the 4x100- and 4x400-meter relays — and Brittney Clanton and Kaitlyn Smith, who round out the 4x100and 4x400-meter relay teams.

Brown, 11, who is running track for the first time this year, qualified in the mile, the 800-meter run and as part of the 4x400-meter relay and has turned the head of third year head coach Audrey Bushnell.

"Lakeleigh is really, really good," Bushnell said. "This year she started out running the mile and she was consistently running about a 6:10 mile and then at sectionals she ran a 5:51. She ran

the 800 in 2:37 and then turned around and also qualified for the 4x400."

Brown's mile time at sectionals was close to breaking the North Greene High School record.

"She ran it in 5:51.6 and the high school record is 5:51.5 set

by Sarah Randall when she was a senior," Bushnell said. "She is only one-tenth off the high school record and she is only a sixth grader.

"The really amazing thing is that she runs the 4x400 right after she finishes the 800 and she is one of my strongest legs in this event," Bushnell added. "She just runs forever and never seems to get tired."

The coach is excited to see how one of her youngest athletes will fare against the state’s toughest competition.

"We are really expecting some great things out of Lakeleigh at state," Bushnell said. "I'm really hoping we have nice weather this weekend and we can see what she can do against some really strong competition." censinger@campbellpublications.net

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

D3

Carrollton, Illinois

Illinois law enforcement out in force Excellence in Mental to remind motorists to ‘Click It or Ticket’ Health Act to hit home The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Illinois State Police and over 500 local law enforcement agencies have announced plans to crack down on seat belt law and impaired driving violators. To kick off the busy summer travel season, a two-week law enforcement mobilization will began May 9 and will run through Memorial Day, May 26. During this time, police will enforce seat belt, impaired driving and other traffic laws 24/7, with a large number of patrols occurring during late-night hours when the most unbuckled fatalities occur on Illinois roads.

This mobilization coincides with the beginning of the busy summer travel season, when traffic is at its highest. All too often the increase in traffic is followed by an increase in motor vehicle fatalities. While Illinois has remained below 1,000 fatalities for the last five years, the last two years have seen increases.

As of May 7, total provisional motor vehicle fatalities in Illinois are 246, 84 below the same date last year.

Illinois’ primary seat belt law originally enacted in 2003 has had a direct effect on keeping Illinois fatalities below 1,000 in recent years. In 2012, the Illinois primary seat belt law was expanded to every seating position meaning a ticket can be issued to an unbuckled motorist in the front and back seat. Seat belt laws are strongly enforced and advertised, bringing about a nearly 94 percent front seat,

daytime seat belt usage rate. However, back seat usage rates are much lower, and an even bigger problem is the number of unbuckled motor vehicle fatalities occurring during late night hours.

“Even with nine out of 10 frontseat motorists buckling up in Illinois during the day, far too many people are still dying because they didn’t wear a seat belt, especially late at night,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider.

“IDOT, the Illinois State Police and hundreds of dedicated local police and sheriff’s departments are saying today that needs to change.”

The primary goal of “Click it or Ticket” is to get more people to buckle up during nighttime hours especially when other factors such as drunk driving play a large role in crashes.

Provisional data shows 1,339 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts on Illinois roads from 2009 through 2013. Of those unbuckled fatalities occurring during these years, 650, or 49 percent, were killed during the 9 p.m. - 6 a.m. timeframe.

These data show why the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement statewide are reminding motorists that seat belt enforcement will be stepped up in the coming weeks – especially at night.

Motorists choosing to not buckle in every seating position will be ticketed. Motorists choosing to drive impaired will be arrested.

“Seat belt compliance remains a top priority for the Illinois State Police,” said Colonel Mike Zerbonia. “Click It or Ticket has proven to be an effective means of raising awareness and saving lives. ISP Troopers will continue enforcement efforts over the coming months.”

“IDOT is utilizing federal safety dollars to assist Illinois law enforcement in providing more seat belt enforcement,” Secretary Schneider continued. “They’ll be out there during rush hour, during the morning commute and during those late night hours when the most unbuckled fatalities occur. If you’re caught unbuckled or driving drunk, you’ll be given a ticket or arrested. It is not about money; it’s not about tickets. It’s about saving lives.”

Over 1.4 million in federal safety dollars has been made available to the Illinois State Police and over 540 local law enforcement agencies to provide additional seat belt and drunk driving patrols during the two-week “Click It or Ticket” mobilization period. The federal dollars will fund thousands of seat belt enforcement zones and seat belt saturation patrols. Fifty percent or more of these patrols will occur during nighttime hours (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The mobilization also includes drunk driving enforcement including over 50 roadside safety checks.

For more information about the Click It or Ticket campaign in Illinois, go to www.buckleupillinois.org.

On April 1, President Obama signed into law the Excellence in Mental Health Act. The new law promises improved access to community mental health services and better quality of care for those with mental health conditions. Karen Sopronyi-Tompkins, Chief Executive Officer for local behavioral health center WellSpring Resources, said the changes created by this new law will hit home in the Riverbend area.

“We are excited that these changes are being made at a national level,” Sopronyi-Tompkins said. “The law will make significant improvements for people with mental health conditions, who tend to be part of an underserved and vulnerable population. I am not saying that people with mental health conditions are weak—many of our consumers are among the strongest, bravest people I know—but I am saying that there is a lack a resources to help them succeed.”

Sopronyi-Tompkins said that the Alton area and many of its surrounding communities are considered to be a mental health professional shortage area according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration. This creates a problem for the estimated 421,000 adults and 142,000 children who live with serious mental health conditions in Illinois (NAMI, 2010).

“Without treatment, people with mental health conditions are at an

increased risk for unemployment, incarceration, homelessness, and physical health problems,” Sopronyi-Tompkins said. “These problems affect all of us, and that is why it is important that we provide support for mental health services at all levels—from the White House to our local courthouse. Accessible mental health services help keep our community and its residents healthy and productive.”

The new law will invest $900 million in mental health demonstration projects in eight states to improve the reach and quality of mental health services. The law will also establish a certification program to define what constitutes a mental health center, ensuring uniformity in the delivery of services.

For more information about WellSpring Resources and the mental health services it provides, call 618462-2331 for the Alton office or 618-639-2010 for the Jerseyville office.

Founded in 1959, WellSpring Resources is a total mental wellness resource serving Madison, Greene, Jersey, and Calhoun counties. With offices in Alton and Jerseyville WellSpring’s compassionate professionals work with children, adults and families to inspire hope and personal growth. Last year, over 6,000 people sought to change their lives for the better through WellSpring’s mental health and substance abuse services.

IDNR deer management Carlinville Area Hospital participates update: First lottery for firearm in Get With The Guidelines-Stroke deer season not affected program to improve stroke care The Illinois Department of Natu- must be responsive to a wide variety ral Resources (IDNR) will make final decisions on deer hunting permit quotas and the counties open for late-winter antlerless-only seasons once all data, including the final deer-vehicle accident (DVA) statistics from the Illinois Department of Transportation, are available sometime this summer. IDNR biologists have flexibility to close late-winter seasons and adjust county permit quotas for the traditional firearm season after lottery drawings have begun.

“We are committed to making deer management decisions based on the best-available science, and we will make those determinations when all of the numbers are in hand.” said Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller.

“The first two lottery drawings are generally all about participation,” said IDNR forest wildlife program manager Paul Shelton. “If at all possible, biologists try to ensure that quotas are sufficiently high to allow hunters to receive an either-sex permit for the county of their choice during those lottery periods. During the past several years, changes in permit quotas have primarily impacted the number of bonus permits that are available to hunters beginning with the random daily drawing periods in September. Hunters should not be concerned that participating in the firearm season lottery will have any negative effect on the status of the Illinois deer herd.”

The deadline to apply for the first lottery for the 2014 firearm deer season was April 30.

Last fall’s deer harvest numbers in Illinois were down more than 20 percent during the traditional firearm seasons, possibly due to a combination of back-to-back outbreaks of epizootic hemorrhagic (EHD) disease in 2012 and 2013; poor weather during firearm seasons; and, efforts to reduce deer numbers over several years. Since Illinois’ deer management goals are based on deer-vehicle accident rates, studying those data is essential to determining if individual county deer populations are at, above, or below their goal.

“As we move into the permitting phase of the upcoming firearm deer seasons, the first lottery deadline provides us with an opportunity to update deer hunters on our progress and give them some insight into the process,” Miller said. “We value the input we have received from our constituents who are concerned about Illinois deer and deer management issues.”

Biologists held a series of public deer meetings throughout the state last June, providing the opportunity for any interested party to ask questions and provide input. The IDNR has conducted surveys to gather additional information about Illinoisans’ (both hunters and nonhunters) opinions and ideas. Staff members respond on a daily basis to numerous letters, email, and media inquiries about deer management, deer harvest, deer diseases, and many other related issues.

The IDNR is responsible for the management of white-tailed deer numbers for all 13 million Illinois citizens, and as a result the agency

of desires and opinions.

Deer management Q&A: Q: Why use deer-vehicle accidents as your index to deer population?

A: DVA numbers correlate well to population trends and are a valuable index to herd status. Surveying the entire state by air would be nearly impossible, cost-prohibitive, and still not provide a definitive number. Road kill surveys are used to gauge population trends of many wildlife species.

Q: Why does it take so long to get the numbers?

A: The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will provide the numbers as soon as all accidents are entered in their database. It is a huge undertaking, and the IDNR is grateful to IDOT staff, who are working as quickly as possible to provide that data.

Q: Won’t the deer-vehicle accident numbers come in too late to be useful this year?

A: No. Biologists will have plenty of time to make changes after the numbers become available. Decisions on permit quotas and late-winter season counties will be made when all the data is available - whether IDNR receives deervehicle numbers today or in July or August.

Q: The IDNR website already lists dates for late-winter seasons.

Why announce the late-winter seasons if the decisions haven’t been made yet?

A: Season dates have been established by administrative rule. Counties that are open for the late-winter season normally are announced by October. The late-winter season may still be needed in some counties. Listing the dates does not mean changes will not be forthcoming.

Q: Why were some counties that were below a 14 percent reduction in deer-vehicle accidents in 2012 still open for the 2013 late-winter season?

A: The statewide goal called for a 14 percent reduction in DVAs, which was achieved for the first time in 2012; but goals for individual counties varied widely. The formula was the same for calculating statewide and individual county goals. Initially set at a rate halfway between the lowest and highest DVA rates during the period 1994 – 2007, there have been some minor adjustments since then. DVA rates fluctuate, sometimes significantly, at the county level. For this reason, a county must be at or below goal for two years before a change to its late-winter season status is considered.

Q: How can I find out more about IDNR’s decision-making process?

A: We are working on new communication strategies to do a better job of sharing IDNR’s management goals, methods, and ultimately our decisions, with the public. In cooperation with the University of Illinois, development of a new website devoted to deer and deer management is underway.

Carlinville Area Hospital is participating in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke program. The goal of the program is to improve the overall quality of care for stroke patients by improving acute stroke treatment and preventing future strokes and cardiovascular events.

Get With The Guidelines–Stroke was developed to help hospitals employ proven science-based treatment guidelines, including those developed by the American Stroke Association, American Heart Association and Brain Attack Coalition.

These guidelines address acute stroke management, primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, secondary prevention of strokes and the establishment of primary stroke centers.

As a Get With The Guidelines– Stroke participating hospital, Carlinville Area Hospital is encouraged to develop a comprehensive system for providing rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke when patients are admitted to the emergency department. This includes always being equipped to provide brain-

imaging scans, making neurologists available to conduct patient evaluations and using clot-busting medications when appropriate.

Carlinville Area Hospital is also increasing its efforts to prevent secondary strokes through the aggressive use of medications such as statins and anti-platelets as indicated in the secondary stroke prevention guidelines. Other methods include the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atherosclerosis and management of smoking cessation, weight, exercise, diabetes and cholesterol.

Through Get With The Guidelines–Stroke, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association provides Carlinville Area Hospital training and staffing recommendations, care maps, discharge protocols, standing orders, data-collection and measurement tools. The program also facilitates creating and sharing best practices among participating hospitals.

“Carlinville Area Hospital is to be commended for its commitment to implementing standards of care and protocols for treating stroke patients,” said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., chair of the

Get With The Guidelines National Steering Committee and director of the TeleStroke and Acute Stroke Services at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “The full implementation of acute care and secondary prevention recommendations and guidelines is a critical step in saving the lives and improving outcomes of stroke patients.”

“The time is right for Carlinville Area Hospital to be focused on improving the quality of stroke care by implementing Get With The Guidelines–Stroke. The number of acute ischemic stroke patients eligible for treatment is expected to grow over the next decade due to increasing stroke incidence and a large aging population,” said Beth Stewart, Emergency Department Manager.

According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is one of the leading causes of death and serious, long-term disability in the United States. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

DNR announces schedule of Mississippi River State Fish and Wildlife Area and Horseshoe Lake State Park waterfowl blind site drawings Waterfowl hunters are encouraged to mark their calendars for upcoming waterfowl hunting blind site random drawings to be held at several public hunting areas around the Illinois and Mississippi River Confluence in Illinois on Sunday, June 1.

The June 1 drawings are for hunting areas at the Mississippi River State Fish and Wildlife Area, and for Horseshoe Lake State Park (Madison Co.).

Duck and goose hunters must register in person between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. for waterfowl blind site drawings and must be present at the drawing – held at each location designated below immediately after the registration period – to claim their blind sites. Mail-in registrations are not accepted. Blind allocations are good for three years.

Applicants needing to purchase new licenses and stamps should do so prior to the drawing. Most blind drawing locations will not have license sales available. Licenses and stamps are available at any DNR Direct license and permit vendor, or through the IDNR website at www. dnr.illinois.gov.

Registrants are no longer required to possess a valid Illinois Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card from the Illinois State Police to par-

ticipate in blind drawings.

Also, in order to be an eligible applicant for the drawing, the participant must not, at the time of the drawing, have his or her hunting privileges suspended or revoked by the IDNR or any other jurisdiction.

Out-of-state residents must have a 2013 or 2014 non-resident hunting license for Illinois and a 2013 or 2014 Illinois Migratory Waterfowl Stamp.
