Carrollton water rates set to climb don’t think, to move the guys all around and adjust their schedules because we still have

Carrollton water customers should brace for a substantial increase in water rates in the near future as the city tries to adjust rates to cover a $50,000 loss in the water fund last year. Council members discussed the issue at length at the April 30 workshop meeting with council members disagreeing on how the deficit in the water fund should be corrected. Previously, council members had discussed cuts which could be made in the water department to help cut back on the deficit. One idea was to cut back on the amount of overtime paid to workers who cover the water plant on Sunday. By having the part-time workers, who earn less than the full-time employees, pick up the Sunday shift, the city could save around $2,600 a year. “It really doesn’t save enough money, I

to pay that wage on Sunday,” Alderman Sean Walker said. “I know it is not as much as if we used part-time help, but is $2,600 a year worth redoing the whole schedule and upsetting all our employees? To me, maybe not.” Alderwoman Sharon Butler disagreed. “I think $2,600 is a lot of money when we

its balance dip down to $12,000. “I think this would be one way for us to show the people that we are trying to cut back a little.” Walker said since the city has not raised water rates for the past five years it’s time they were raised for the city to get on some sort of step program to stay with the times.

“I know we talked about people having a problem with a couple bucks raise to their bill, but increases are going to happen,” he said. “That is just the way I see it. I’m just saying how I feel.” Butler said that is taking the easy way out. “We aren’t trying to do anything - we have an easy way to do it - just raise the rates,” Butler said. “We can do that on everything sales tax, all of it. But this is showing them that we are trying to do something first, and then if we have to change it then we can.” Alderman Wayne Cunningham was more for a compromise of both plans. “I know we have got to raise the rates at least some to start getting the books balanced because we can’t keep losing money in the water fund,” he said. “I think we need a combination of both - cut back and raise the rates.” Alderman Tom Wilson said this was one (See, water rates, A2)

Carrollton School District looking to end year in the black By carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press Despite being in a time of economic turbulence, Carrollton Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox reported to the board at the April 28 meeting that cash flow estimates for the final quarter are looking quite promising. “We are actually showing a potential increase in our overall fund balance,” Dr. Cox said. “As it stands, we are looking at an increase of about $70,000.” The beginning balance as of June 30, 2013 for the fiscal year was $1,444,107. The district is estimating the end balance on July 1 to be $1,513,523. “As the district continues to enhance our fiscal responsibility, it is important to note that many needs still exist,” Dr. Cox said. “Priority items include recently approved bus leases, upcoming technology hardware replacements and improvements in instructional resources to assist our students, families and staff members.” Dr. Cox shared budget information

by comparing the different revenue scenarios based on Gov. Pat Quinn’s “recommended” and “not-recommended” budget proposals to the state legislature.

“We are actually showing a potential increase in our overall fund balance.”

Dr. Kerry Cox

Carrollton Superintendent In the first scenario, which is recommended by the governor, Carrollton would lose approximately $15,000 due to additional prorations to GSA. In the second scenario, the one not recommended, the district would lose approximately $260,000 due to the loss in overall state revenue from the sunset of the income tax increase. “A third scenario, Senate Bill 16, seeks to change the education funding

formula with GSA based on a weighted formula and distributed according to local ability to pay, thus increasing the equity across the state,” Dr. Cox said. “ISBE staff is working to determine the possible impact of SB 16 by mid-May for lawmakers and district to review.” It would be phased in over a threeyear period, though its effect on the Carrollton district is not yet known. “We don’t know how this would affect our district,” Dr. Cox said. “But it is set to give greater transparency through more reporting to the state. Not only will there be more reporting district-wise but, you will also be required to report building-wise, also.” A pre-bid meeting is set to take place on May 7 regarding construction projects at the high school to be partially funded by the $50,000 state maintenance grant the district received. This is a matching grant with the district required to put in $50,000 as its share. Work to be completed through the grant includes the completion of the (See, carrollton, A2)

Greene County Fair will be host this year to one of the most notable harness races in the state – the Downstate Classic. The Downstate Classic harness race is a stake race at county fairs for two- and three-yearold horses. It has been held in Decatur for many years but financial concerns ultimately caused the race to be put out for bids by the Illinois Department of Agriculture and the Downstate Classic Board. The Downstate Classic will take place on Tuesday, June 17 at 7 p.m. at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Carrollton. Greene County Fair board member Craig Grummel said it was too good to pass up. “There was a notice sent out by the Department of Agriculture saying that the Downstate Classic was going to be moved and that any fair interested in having it should make a bid on how much they would be willing to contribute to the purses,” Grummel said. “There were five or six other county fairs who also submitted bids, but ours was the highest thanks to a very generous donation from the Al Jeffers family.” The Jeffers family is prominent in the equine community from Flat Rock, who has a breeding farm. When Al Jeffers died, his wife, Mary Lee, and his daughter, Adele, agreed to put up $8,000 of the purse for this year and $8,000 next year. “They committed $8,000 of the $16,000 that we had to put

in to get this race down here,” Grummel said. “It would not have been possible without them doing that. They could have done it for any fair but they wanted a fair with good facilities and we are known to have a very good, fast and safe track. They also wanted it to be somewhere southern Illinois horsemen could travel to without going too far.” Greene County Fair will be the new host for the three-yearold events for at least the next two years. There will be a threeyear-old filly trot and pace and a cold trot and pace. “These races are going to be the biggest races of any county fair in the state of Illinois,” Grummel said. “This race is going to bring some of the best horses to the Greene County Fair, and I’d say track records are probably going to be in jeopardy because of the caliber of horses that will be here for this race.” Not only will it bring the best horses, but also the best trainers and the best drivers in the state. “Because it is happening on a Tuesday night and there is no racing in Chicago on that night, some drivers that drive there have already committed to come down and drive at our fair,” Grummel said. “In Chicago there are 10 or so professional drivers in almost every race and some of those guys will be coming down here – they won’t do that for many county fairs – it has to be a special race like these are.” The purses will be $15,500 per division, nearly three times the highest purse of $4,500 paid (See, COUNTY FAIR, A2)

CARROLLTON

Chickens still a hot topic in Carrollton By carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council will revisit the issue of chickens within the city for what it hopes will be the final time at the upcoming May 14 meeting. Alderman Joe Harness brought up what has come to be known as a “fowl” subject at the April 30 workshop meeting when he said he didn’t recall a committee making a formal recommendation that the council had voted on. Chickens became a hot topic in Carrollton back in August of last year when Dr. August Adams fenced in the corner lot next to his house on South Main with the intention of raising chickens for the eggs. Adams said he had asked the former police chief if he could have six chickens and was told he could as long as there were no roosters. At the time, one of Carrollton’s police officers, who resides within the city limits, also raised

chickens for the eggs. When former Police Chief Terry Gross was replaced with Kenny Kallal, Dr. Adams was informed that it was against the city ordinance to have chickens within the city limits. Carrollton’s ordinances do say both chickens and rabbits are prohibited within the city limits, even though there were numerous residences with chickens within the city. The first time the council addressed the subject, the council decided it would go with its current ordinance preventing chickens in town. However, at the next meeting Dr. Adams addressed the council, explaining he had come to city hall to find out if it was OK and was told it was by the police chief. The council discussed the issue and decided to grandfather those who already had chickens in but limit them to five chickens and no roosters. No vote, however, was ever taken. Alderman Tom Wilson recalled the

meeting in which the council talked about grandfathering in those who already had chickens. “They came in and gave us a story about how they were misled and talked about all the money they had spent on the fencing and chicken coop and we said we would revisit it and there was no action taken,” Wilson recalled. “We had the full discussion of where we stand legally, morally and every other way and I think that is when we came up with the grandfathering - if you have chickens now you can keep them but only up to five. Then we got into the bigger discussion on how we are going to enforce the ordinance and police it long term.” Harness said the council needs to once and for all make a decision and stand by it. If they are going to go by the ordinance then it needs to be enforced, which means no chickens in town. “If they have a problem then they (See, CHICKENS, A2) C

of enterprise fund? Do you want to say we want to keep our rates here and work at making up any deficit some other way, or do you want to adopt a philosophy that we want it to be at a break-even point or do you want it to make a profit so that it covers equipment and expenses in other departments? So far there hasn’t been any guidance as to what you want to adopt.” Dunlap said virtually every other community has built in increases in their ordinances. “If I created this crisis situation, I’m sorry,” Dunlap said. “It’s not really in a crisis mode at this time but it could be in three to five years from now. I do think it is something we need to address today.” The water and sewer committee is supposed to come up with a recommendation to bring before the council at the May 14 council meeting. Dunlap was instructed to get figures together on how much of an increase the city would receive per increment raise.

Chickens

(Continued from A1) should go yell at the person who told them they could,” Harness said. Wilson pointed out that the person who told them it was OK was an employee of the city; therefore, the council is ultimately responsible for his actions. “If they can’t hold him responsible then we should hold him responsible,” Harness said Wilson was concerned about the legal ramifications should those people be told to get rid of their chickens after they were told they could have them. “The question I have is where we stand legally with those people,” Wilson said. “Are any of them going to contest it? I don’t know. But are we liable for their expenses of the coop, feed, etc?” City Attorney Anne Clough said that is a possibility. “We may be if they can prove that they were given wrong information and relied on it,” she said. “But we also have an ordinance that they could have read.” Harness then said it was the people’s fault as much as it was the city’s because they should have checked the ordinances for themselves.

“I don’t disagree with that, but if you come to the office and you ask the chief law enforcement officer what the policy is and he gives you an answer - you are going to assume that is the correct policy,” Wilson said. “I am having a hard time looking those people in the face when they were told they could have them and then we said we would grandfather them in. Whether it was right or wrong, it’s just a mess from top to bottom.” City Clerk Ryan Scott pointed out that it is on record that the council told them they could have up to five chickens and could be proved in court should they decide to take legal action. Harness, however, said the statement was made at a workshop. “You can’t take any action at a workshop,” Harness said. “Workshops are just to stir the pot.” Clough said there probably would be some liability to the city if they make Dr. Adams get rid of his chickens after he was given the information he could have them. The committee is expected to have a meeting prior to the May 14 council meeting, at which time it will bring its final determination to the council for a vote.

Encourages all to remember loved ones with luminarias TO THE EDITOR One of the more inspiring parts of Relay For Life is the luminaria ceremony, which honors and appreciates all those whose lives have been changed by cancer. Luminarias derive from the Spanish custom of lighting the way for Joseph and Mary as they seek a place to stay during their time in Bethlehem. As such they represent Hope. They have been used for many events, but none seems more fitting than Relay For Life during which we experience hope for a cure for the disease, cancer, that has affected so many Greene County residents. For the past 14 years Relay for Life Greene County has celebrated the luminaria ceremony during its relay. Hundreds of luminaria ring the track at Carrollton High School. These are lit as the names on the bags are read. At the conclusion of the reading of the names, we walk the track with the dark being pierced by many twinkles of hope. Traditionally the bags contain sand and a candle is nestled in the sand. This year because of the great need to keep county food pantries supplied, we are asking for the

donation of a can of food for each luminaria. These can be dropped off at the following locations in the county: Kroger in Carrollton, Alco in White Hall and Meehan’s in both Roodhouse and Greenfield. Luminaria forms are available in local communities at banks, libraries, drug stores and post offices, as well as at churches. All churches in the county have received information a bout luminaries. We encourage you to remember your loved ones by making a donation of $10 per luminaria per person. These donations aid the American Cancer Society to continue its groundbreaking work in seeking a cure for cancer so all of up can celebrate more birthdays. We invite you to participate in Relay For Life of Greene County, June 13-14, 2014, Carrollton High School track beginning with activities for kids at 4:30 p.m. and opening ceremonies at 6 p.m. on June 13, 2014.

Police apprehend stolen bridge suspect By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Bridges in Greene County are safe as the Greene County Sheriff’s Department apprehended the Carrollton man accused of stealing an iron bridge in Kane Township and he remains behind bars at the county jail. Sheriffs deputies arrested Matthew Wayne Tucker without incident at a rural residence located southwest of Carrollton after following up on a tip. Tucker, 46, was arrested on April 30 after eluding police during a traffic stop on April 24. Tucker is the suspect in the theft of a bridge from Kane Township, which was reported missing earlier in the month. According to Sheriff Rob McMillen, pieces of the stolen bridge were allegedly found on Tucker’s property along with 400 feet of four-inch field drain tile belonging to a neighbor. Sheriff McMillen spotted Tucker in a truck on U.S. Route 67 at County Road 750 North on April

County fair (Continued from A1) out last year. A portion of the money comes from the fair itself, a portion from the Department of Ag, and a portion comes from stakes. “To race in the Downstate Classic, you have to have to stake to that in the spring,” Grummel said. “You have to make a stake payment in March if you want to race in June. This raises part of the purse.” Four Greene County Fair board members, Mark Walker, Bob Walker, Grummel and his father, Leo Grummel, were placed on the Downstate Classic board, giving Greene County excellent representation. The race for the two-year-olds will take place in Lincoln at the Logan County Fair in August. “We just have the three-year-olds which works out pretty good for our fair because it is early in the year (June 17) and some of the two-yearolds aren’t ready by the time that our fair happens,” Grummel said. Grummel said he thinks the Downstate Classic is going to bring a new dimension to harness racing at the fair. “Because of the caliber of purses we have, it’s going to bring a bigger caliber of horses, trainers and drivers,” Grummel said. “That is what fans and spectators who follow horse racing want to see, so we hope it is going to bring a bigger crowd out to the fair this year.” Fans and spectators might just be surprised. “We have gotten some commitments from national horsemen who grew up in this area and have since made the move to the East Coast,” Grummel said. “They have committed to send things back like stable gear, hats, shirts, etc. from their stables to give out to the fans.”

24 and attempted to make a traffic stop. A three-mile pursuit ended with Tucker exiting the vehicle and running off into the woods to elude police. A search of the abandoned vehicle yielded a substance containing methamphetamine which led to a charge of unlawful possession. Because Tucker’s license had been suspended since 1989 after six DUI convictions, he was also charged with driving while license suspended. Warrants were issued on April 25 for the above offenses in addition to two theft charges for his alleged role in the theft of drain tile and the bridge. Because the bridge is considered state supported property, its theft is a felony. A charge of fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer was added when he ran from police. Tucker remains in Greene County Jail in lieu of $2,000 bond. He is scheduled for a court appearance on May 12 at 1:30 p.m.

Dr. Cox provided the board with information for District Strategic Planning - a process the district will undertake between now and the end of the 2014-15 school year. “This is a process of looking at all aspects of the school district and planning how you wish to move the district forward,” Dr. Cox said. “Strategic Planning provides the ‘big picture’ of

where we are, where we are going and how we are going to get there. It ensures that the district maintains focus on our priorities and that we are on the same page.” Initial plans include work by a small oversight team to determine the planning strategy, creating a timeline, reviewing current available data, implementing surveys for additional data collection and determining the makeup of the District Strategic Planning Team. “Community participation, feedback and input will be essential to the success of this initiative,” Dr. Cox said. “The results will provide a blueprint for the district for years to come.”

I understand it is going to get in somebody’s pocketbook if we take them off time-and-a-half - they probably count on that but there are cold hard realities we have to face.” According to Treasurer Debbie Dunlap, the water and sewer department is considered an enterprise fund. “An enterprise fund means that we, as a city, charge for those services,” Dunlap said. “As a council, what kind of business philosophy do you want to adopt with this type

After closing there was a knock on the door and it was two foreigners – one from the Phillipines and one from Nigeria, who said they were on a mission fundraising trip and wanted money. They were sent on their way and the police called because it was 9:30 at night. Secretly I’m thinking to myself – what a cool story this would make if they tried to rob us. Yeah, I’ve definitely been in the newspaper business for too long. It wasn’t only the softball team that came in – it was the track teams and Little League teams, too. Most of whom I know because I take their pictures. I must have told at least two dozen people that I didn’t quit my “other” job. This experience took me back to a time right after high school when I worked at a race track in the concession stand. Talk about busy – every single minute and the time just flew by and that is what it did on this night – flew by. Sometimes you have the most fun when you least expect it. I had planned on spending the night in front of the television. Instead I spent four hours with friends laughing and having a good time. Sometimes we just have to get out of our element to really enjoy ourselves. There is such a thing as being mentally tired and physically tired and by the end of this day – I was both. I slept like a rock – something I don’t do much of these days. I can honestly say the only downfall of the evening was I ended up with dishpan hands. But, on the other hand, I didn’t have to clean the dirt out from under, my fingernails before I went to bed either.

Sometimes doing something totally unexpected can be more fun than you ever imagine. Take Monday night, for instance. After working in the office for 10 hours I popped in for a chat with friends at the Groovy Taco, which, for the record, I consider my second office since people call there trying to find out how to get in touch with me. Might just be a sign I eat there a little too often. Anyway, it’s around 6:30 p.m. and I’ve been there about five minutes and people start trickling in. No, I take that back – they were not trickling in – they were coming in in droves. A hearty lunch crowd had wiped out the queso sauce and the chili so one employee was busy stirring those. All of a sudden there are like 10 people at the counter and she asks me if I would mind stirring while she helped fill the orders. Heck no – stir – I can do that – not too taxing on the old bod. The orders were filled but before she could make her way back to the kitchen, almost the entire softball team showed up after their game. Suddenly, the dishes are piling up and plates are needed. I volunteer to do some of the dishes since I’ve finished the stirring. When I hear the words come out of my mouth – I am totally shocked. There are basically two reasons I eat out so much – I don’t like to cook and I don’t like to do dishes. I guess I was just caught up in the moment. I’m thinking to myself – it won’t take me long to do these dishes. There was my first problem – I was thinking. When I got that pile done – in came another pile. Well, you hate to quit until a job is done so I did them, too. By this time – I’m getting very good at it, even if I do say so myself, and I’m kind of enjoying it. My mind flashes back to an episode of Big Bang Theory when Sheldon Cooper, the brainiac, can’t seem to figure out a problem so he decides to disengage his brain by doing the most simple of tasks – working at a restaurant bussing tables. Not simple physically, but brain-wise simple. He doesn’t even work there, but he’s got on an apron and tells one of the workers to get to work “cause we

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.

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.

Osteoarthritis knee pain? 4 pain-busting tips as the weather warms up If you're one of the millions of people who's been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, pain can put a damper on your enjoyment of warm weather activities. "I was always an active person, going to the gym several times a week and working in my garden," says Mary Ann J. age 58, diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis several years ago. "I never sat still. Then, I started to develop knee pain. It affected the activities I enjoyed most." If you find yourself planning activities around knee pain, avoiding exercise or still suffering in pain despite your current treatments, these four tips can help: 1. Get educated. Did you know that knee osteoarthritis is more than just cartilage loss? The fluid that cushions your joint may break down and bone spurs can develop. To learn more about what's going on in a knee with osteoarthritis visit www.healthline.com/OAK. 2. Make sure your doctor understands your knee pain. An X-ray can tell your doctor what stage your knee osteoarthritis is, but what really matters is how the pain is affecting you. Surprisingly, the stage of your osteoarthritis is not always connected to your amount of pain. Before your next appointment, write down a list of activities that have become more difficult because of your knee pain. For example, is knee pain affecting

you at work? Are you not able to exercise as much as you'd like? Is the pain making it difficult to sleep? 3. Keep trying treatments until you find one that works for you. You may be familiar with pain pills and knee replacement surgery but there are many other options. Viscosupplement injections lubricate the joint and can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief. Older methods of the treatment required a series of three to five injections, but newer treatments require just one. 4. Don't wait too long to see a specialist. A doctor who specializes in knee pain can be very helpful in guiding you through all the treatment options, even in the early stages of knee osteoarthritis. The most common specialists for knee osteoarthritis are orthopedic surgeons, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and rheumatologists. Most importantly, don't give up on finding options for managing your osteoarthritis knee pain. "After I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee and found the right doctor, we kept trying until we found a treatment that worked for me," says Mary Ann. "Now I'm able to enjoy the things I love again, like gardening. I was even able to take a trip to Europe!"

Gerald Day and our service times are 9:30 a.m. Sunday school, followed by 10:30 a.m. morning worship with nursery service available. Everyone is invited to either or both services. On Sunday, May 4 we had 39 attending Sunday school and 50 attending morning worship. Hopefully the nice weather will influence everyone to start their Sunday mornings off with going to church first. It makes the day go much better. Remember our men and women in uniform and the leaders of our nation in your prayers. Others to remember include

Keith Forrester, Maureen Martin, Lucille Seely, Juanita Muntz, Audrey Prather, Connie Sturgeon, Kristie Hamilton, Amber Gourley, Merle Howard, Shirley Cox, Kelsey Piper, Terri Parker, Cody Manley, Mildred Balthis, Robin Winder, Blaze Farris, Richard Lockhart, Larry Fraser, Victor Evans, Brenda Gregory, Cindy Wells Shaffer, George Rogers, Cookie Smith, Dorothy Van Giesen, David Stendeback, Ann Ford, Brenda Early, Linda Wyatt, Rozlind Bishop, Steve Whitten, Savannah Brown and family, Gerald Day and the Leola Stone family. There are no birthdays or anniversaries to report for this week.

We were glad to have Ronnie and Ruth Ann Beams back in church with us on Sunday. They came back from Florida for three birthdays and a graduation. Always nice to see them. Our pastor, Gerald Day, was honored with an Open House on Saturday, May 3 for his 80th birthday. Approximately 85 people came to wish him a great day. The family enjoyed supper at the Brass Door afterwards. During morning worship several shared stories, blessings and testimonies. Rich Caskey sang two songs. That’s all for this week. Have a good week and share a smile with everyone you meet.

Calvary Baptist Church news May 4. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements. The last Ladies Bible Study is tonight at 6 p.m.; May 10 at 6 p.m. Ladies Banquet. Ladies don’t forget a covered dish. Men will be serving and cleaning up. May 18 at 6:30 p.m. North Greene Baccalaureate will be held at Calvary Church. No church service that evening. Sunday school report by Sis. Mary. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led the congregation in singing of hymns. Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Molly as leader. Message by Bro. Baxter. John 11: 1-45 - now Mary and Martha’s brother Lazarus was very sick. Jesus loved all three of them. They sent for Jesus but he didn’t leave for two days. Jesus told his disciples our friend sleepeth, but I go that I may wake him out of sleep. Jesus spoke of Lazarus death, but the disciples thought he

meant taking a rest of sleep. When Jesus arrived, Martha told him Lazarus was dead and said if thou had been here he would not have died. Jesus told her thy brother shall rise again. She thought Jesus meant at the resurrections. Mary also said the same thing to Jesus that Martha had said. Jesus was troubled in the spirit and verse 35 says, “Jesus wept. Jesus told them to take away the stone from the grave.” Martha said he had been dead four days and he stinks. Jesus said if thou believest thou shall see the glory of God. He told Lazarus to come forth. He that was dead came forth. Then many of the Jews had seen the things Jesus did and believed in him. Sunday evening: Prayer and singing of hymns. Lord’s Supper will be next Sunday evening at 7 p.m. Message by Bro. Baxter from mark 9: 12-29. Our Lord and Saviour has the power over life. One of the multitudes said,

“Master I have brought my son unto thee which hath a dumb spirit. I spoke to thy disciples and they could not cast out the spirit.” Jesus asked how long is it ago since this spirit came unto him. He said of the child. When the spirit was cast out the young man was as one dead. The disciples asked why they couldn’t cast out the spirit. Jesus told them this kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting. Faith in God can work miracles. Please pray for all churches, our country and our leaders, our troops and their families, the lost, the sick, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the bereaved, traveling mercies and one another. Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 7 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 7 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 7 p.m.

Walkerville Baptist Church news What a beautiful day! I really believe spring is here. One lucky young man of the Walkerville area found over 20 pounds of mushrooms. What a lucky man. He has a secret that no one will get out of him. Where is that spot? Never tell. We had a good group at church and a great blessing. A piano duet was created and enjoyed enough to request one next week. If you were not there you missed out. The message was real good. John 3: 16. The greatest miracle of all. We had a good time answering the questions. The question for last week was Psalms 118 - What it is, who did it and what are we to do with it? Did you look in the top of your egg carton? This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it. It has been requested that the seven wonders in the world, not made by man, be repeated. They are: seeing, hearing, touch-

ing, tasting, feeling, laughing, love. I really appreciate so many reading the questions each week. Thanks for the notes and phone calls. The question for this week is Psalms 136. Each verse all have the same five words ending. What is it? Since they answered it before I could finish, I gave them one they couldn’t. Who argued with the devil over Moses’ body? Look into the book next to the last book in the Bible for the answer. Mother’s Day is next Sunday. One of the greatest gifts you could give her is to be in church with her. No one knows better than a mother. Don’t make her cook all day. Our prayer list is Ann Ford, Andy Ross, Grace Ross, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, the Stone family on the loss of their mother, Bonnie Hardwick, Brenda Sexton, Brenda Early, remember all those who were not in church Sunday, and all the

farmers (it is a busy time and they hurry and it’s dangerous), Ed Crabtree, Susie Kiefer. May is a busy month for the school kids. They all need our prayers. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of evil, for the Lord your God goes with you. He will never leave you or forsake you. Deut. 31: 16 - do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together, they cry together, they sleep together and they never see each other. That is what friendship is. Church is God’s place for his children to get together and worship him and fellowship together in Christian love. Walkerville is one of God’s special places to worship him. We love you and Jesus loves you and we all miss you when you are not there. See you in church Sunday. Make God happy.

To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:7

Do you expect to become a Saint? Perhaps you should. Have you ever noticed that just about every person in the Bible who is chosen by God for some important mission balks at the idea? It almost seems as if it is "bad form" to be too ready and willing to be God's standard-bearer. Moses was full of excuses for why he couldn't be God's mouthpiece, chief among them that he didn't speak well. Young Samuel thought he was hearing his master Eli's voice when he was really hearing the voice of God. And, even Jesus appeared to have His moment of doubt, asking His heavenly Father to "remove this cup from me" in the garden at Gethsemane (Mark 14: 36). The life of a saintly person is likely to be more filled with doubts than that of the ordinary man or woman, not less. Perhaps that is because so much more is asked of the saintly man and woman.

Good career paths for graduates It has been a stressful couple of years for college students. An unstable economy has led many students to second-guess their investments in higher education, and fear regarding employment prospects after graduation are common among today's students. Graduates who majored in fields of study that are more recession-proof than others could have decided advantages over students who went with other majors. Knowing which careers are still going strong and which have stalled can help college students with goals of finding a career with growth potential. n Financial analysts and managers: Many forecasts indicate jobs in finance will continue to remain strong with high growth. Despite financial ups and downs, people still need to be educated on how and where to spend their money. Students with degrees in finance and marketing may have advantages over others. n Engineers: Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many different fields require

engineers, from mechanical and civil industries to electrical and chemical industries. Engineering remains a strong course of study with many different subsets for specialization. n Networking/systems administration: With the world revolving around computers, jobs in the systems administration field remain viable. Keep in mind that there is also a wide array of competition in these careers, but the ability to make high salaries is what drives many to pursue careers in networking and computer systems administration. n Accounting: Similar to other financial careers, accounting jobs remain stable despite the uncertain economy. Where there is money to be spent, individuals and businesses will require the services of accountants to keep all of their accounts in check. Entry-level accountants can receive in-house promotions and become finance executives. n Nursing/medical careers: Jobs in healthcare continue to be strong as well. An aging population keeps nurses, doctors, aides and medical-supply companies in business. There are many different nursing specializations, making nursing an attractive career choice. n Software design and devel-

opment: Keeping today's digital world running requires a staff of people constantly updating and creating new software. From games to business applications to all of those entertaining apps downloaded each day, software designers pave the way for computer innovation. n Salespeople: Sales is one of the oldest and longest-running types of occupations available. Every industry needs quality sales professionals to meet with the public and drive interest in products and services. There are sales positions in just about every industry. n Educators: The Millenial generation is just as large as the Baby Boom generation, and children will continue to fill up classrooms across the world. It is estimated three million more teachers are needed by 2015 to fill openings in the United States alone. Also, initiatives to require Pre-K classes could increase the number of education jobs even further. n Computer information security: The need to protect personal information from those who want to exploit it continues to grow. Computer information security will continue to increase with the expansion of technological applications.

Nursing trends show a profession in transition

Explore the many hats worn by nurses

Enter a hospital, doctor's office, adult care facility or medical clinic and you are bound to encounter nurses. Nurse is a broad term used to describe most individuals who perform patientbased care in a variety of settings. A nurse's duties and title will vary depending on his or her educational background and the certifications and licenses he or she has received. The field of nursing is seemingly recession-proof. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are roughly 2.6 million nurses in the United States. No other career choice within the field of healthcare can claim such strength in numbers, both in the United States. and Canada. There are many advantages to becoming a nurse, including growing employment opportunities. Over the next 20 years, the BLS predicts 800,000 vacancies in the field of nursing in the United States. alone. Financial gain is to be had as well. Depending on the type of nurse, he or she has the potential to make anywhere between $43,000 and $115,000 a year, according to the BLS' Occupational Employment Statistics Program. Furthermore, because of the wide breadth of nursing services, there is plenty of room for specialty application and advancement. Here are the common types of nurses and the type of education required to become a nurse. n Nursing aide/orderly: Nursing aides and orderlies help nurses care for patients and perform routine tasks. They spend most of their time with patients, serving meals, keeping patients comfortable, answering call lights, making beds, and giving baths. Most nursing aides work in a hospital setting or long-term facilities for the elderly. A high school diploma may be all that's needed to become a nursing aide. n Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): An LPN studies for a year after earning a high school diploma and must be licensed in the state in which he or she will work. LPNs typically record medical histories, weigh and measure patients, record symptoms, and administer injections. n Registered Nurse (RN): AnRN typically pursues a two-year Associate's

The healthcare industry is changing rapidly, and nurses, the largest group of healthcare professionals in the nation, are at the forefront of these changes. Despite the difficult economic conditions of recent years, nursing as a profession has thrived -- particularly when compared to other professions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job growth for nurses will continue to be more rapid than the national average, making the profession among the best career choices available today. So what can nurses and those considering entering the field expect over the next decade? The demand for nurses will continue. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be nearly 712,000 new nursing positions by 2020, making this profession the fastest growing occupation. One of the factors fueling the growth is the aging population, and there will be great demand for nurses who are trained in geriatrics and who are able to work in ambulatory (i.e., outpatient) settings. More nurses will work in outpatient settings, home healthcare, and nursing homes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also projects that hospital nursing jobs will grow much more slowly than jobs in outpatient facilities and home health care. This is due both to the growth of the aging population and the increase in the number of medical procedures done on an outpatient basis or in homes. Hospitals will increasingly require RNs to have four-year degrees. Many hospitals have begun hiring only those nurses with BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degrees or providing incentives for their employees with two-year associate degrees to return to school to earn their BSNs. Similarly, many nurses with BSNs are heading back to the classroom to become master's degree-level nurse practitioners. Nurses are getting younger and older. During the last decade, a variety of efforts were made to make nursing more attractive to younger people. As a result, the number of younger nurses (ages 23 to 26) has

There is a rise in nurses needed in a home setting.

grown significantly. This is expected to help offset the mass retirement of nurses that is expected to occur between now and 2020. At the same time, more people are entering the profession later in their careers as a result of the proliferation of twoyear and accelerated nursing programs that were developed largely to attract people from other fields. Nursing educators will be in demand as well. Nursing program faculty will be among the retirees who will leave the profession over the next decade and there is expected to be a shortage of nurse educa-

tors to take their places. Technology will continue to alter how nurses operate and learn. Come 2014, all medical records will be electronic, so nurses will be saying a final good-bye to their black pens and a big hello to keyboards and tablets. In hospitals, nurses will continue to rely on texting to relay messages or provide information to doctors. Technology, in the form of digital textbooks, mobile phone applications that access drug information and simulated online clinics, will continue to alter how nursing students learn.

School nurses are often unsung heroes

degree in nursing or may receive a Bachelor's degree in the field. RNs must pass a national exam before they are licensed. The duties of an RNare generally more varied and in-depth than those of an LPN and can include helping patients manage treatment plans. n Nurse practitioner (NP): Nurse practitioners are among the most educated hospital employees. In addition to their RN study, they earn a Master's

degree and may specialize in one area. Also, NPs may be able to work outside of the authority of a physician. In such instances, an NP can run a medical practice, diagnose and prescribe medication just as a doctor would. Although doctors are often thought of as the primary care providers in most healthcare settings, nurses are growing in numbers and have taken on many of the roles once reserved exclusively for doctors.

Sidestepping foot, hip and back pain critical for nurses

Nurses work hard. And virtually all of that hard work, from administering medication to hanging IVs to moving patients and equipment, is done standing up on hard surfaces. So it's no surprise that many nurses experience foot and back pain after a long day -- or night -- on the job. Millions of people in physically demanding occupations experience chronic back, hip and foot pain. Repeated strain on the feet, hips and back not only causes pain but also gradually reduces the ability of muscles to recuperate quickly. As a result, healthcare professionals such as doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists spend countless hours treating patients whose pain and discomfort stem from job-related injuries. For nurses, these ailments and injuries are difficult to avoid. In fact, research shows that nurses suffer from lower back pain more than people in any other profession. The constant physical demands of the profession also prevent nurses from getting enough rest between shifts, which can exacerbate both the problem and the pain. While treatments for foot, hip and back pain can be effective, nurses can also take steps to prevent strain in the first place. The following are a few proven strategies for staying healthy and injury-free on the job. n Wear the right shoes. Nurses need shoes that fit well and provide proper support. Since it is important to give shoes a day to air out before being worn again, it's best to have more than one pair of work shoes. Full-time nurses should replace their shoes every six months. n Bend right. Always be aware

of how you move your body. When lifting equipment or moving patients, give your back a break. Instead, bend at your knees and let your legs do the work. n Turn, don't twist. Lifting and twisting can strain the lower back. When picking up heavy equipment or even a patient, plant your feet firmly on the floor for support. As you turn,

be sure to move both your feet and your body. n Make a move. Holding equipment or patients in one place for a prolonged period can put enormous strain on the neck, shoulders and back. Whenever possible, ask for help or relief. At the very least, stretch out once you're done.

School nurses do much more than apply bandages to playground scrapes. School nurses conduct vital health screenings and are often the security blanket for students who need special care during school hours. Despite all they do, school nurses are often the unsung heroes within the school community. School nurses certainly tackle their share of fevers, nosebleeds, cuts, and scrapes, but nurses play other pivotal roles as well, calling up moms and dads to pick up their sick sons and daughters, overseeing the school's health policies and helping to ensure a safe school environment for students. In addition, the role of the school nurse has changed dramatically over the years. A school nurse may oversee vaccination schedules. He or she also may arrange for assemblies regarding "change of life" seminars for children about to enter puberty. When there is an epidemic at the school, the nurse is often charged with notifying staff and parents and helping to contain the situation. Apart from all of the tasks in treating "sick" children, nurses also are essential in helping to keep children with life-threatening diseases healthy while they are at school. The number of children with serious allergies, diabetes, asthma, and even seizure disorders has increased. According to the American Diabetes Association, roughly 1 in every 400 children and adolescents has diabetes. School nurses may help administer life-saving insulin shots to children who need them. According to Anaphylaxis Canada, 1 in 50 Canadian children has a peanut allergy, and about 1 to 2 percent of these can have severe or life-threatening reactions. School nurses may treat serious allergic reactions or provide a safe place where children with serious allergies can eat lunch. In some cases, school nurses become a mediator between home and school. Nurses may indirectly be teach-

Youngsters may not recognize it, but school nurses provide a valuable service that can make a school day injury much easier to handle.

ing students as well. Each time the nurse treats a condition, he or she may be educating students on how to avoid that situation in the future. For example, a nurse may impart the importance of eating breakfast to avoid a morning headache or teach youngsters about the

benefits of stretching before diving into physical education class. School nurses are often the unsung heroes of a school, wiping away tears when youngsters suffer an injury at school and acting as a reassuring voice when such injuries are painful.

County schools receive grants to enhance security By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County school districts will receive more than $50,000 from the state to enhance security at their buildings according to a press release from Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn announced grant awards totaling $25 million to 448 public elementary and secondary school districts, community colleges and state universities in Illinois. North Greene was awarded $23,550, while Carrollton received $15,067 and Greenfield $11,556. These grants will support 1,312 projects, including reinforced doors, shatter resistant glass, physical locks and other security measures that will enhance safety for students, staff and visitors. “Nothing is more important in Illinois

than keeping our schools safe,” Gov. Quinn said. “These projects will strengthen security at main entry points, providing school personnel with critical moments to alert law enforcement, activate plans to protect students and save lives.” “We are pleased to receive this school safety grant because school safety is a top priority,” Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “We are approved for adding shatter resistant film on entrance doors and primary entrance remote locking access controls (card keys for main entrances). The addition of these features will further enhance our school safety plan.” The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) announced the Illinois School and Campus Safety Grant Program earlier in the year. School districts could only submit one application for the grant,

although this application could include multiple projects. In all, IEMA received grant applications totaling more than $54 million from 623 school districts and campuses. North Greene’s funds will also go toward shatter resistant glass. “The strings attached to this money are pretty strong and pretty much dictate what we will be able to spend it on,” North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens said. “Namely a security product that, when attached to glass on and around doors at main entrances, prevent the degree of breakage and delay entry made to schools like Adam Lanza did at Sandy Hook.” Carrollton’s funding will go towards multiple projects around the district, and Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox said the district is extremely grateful and excited about receiving these funds.

“The funds received by our district will be used to enhance security at our primary entrances to both school buildings,” Dr. Cox said. “Information technology improvements will be completed at the grade school to enhance the video camera and displays at both the main entrance and pre-K entrance. Improvements at the high school include replacing primary entrance doors and reinforced glazing or window replacements to provide additional safety at this entrance.” An additional video camera will also be added for the music building and north entrance to the building. “Safety for our students and staff members is our top priority,” Dr. Cox said. “We will continue to work collaboratively with our local law enforcement agencies to review, update and enhance the security of our schools. This grant has greatly assisted in

providing needed enhancements throughout the district and we hope that the grant will continue to be offered in the future.” More than two dozen individuals assisted with criteria development, review and evaluation of the applications, which included nearly 2,200 projects. These subject matter experts included representatives from state and local emergency management, academia, law enforcement, private security and school security. “Our top priority for funding was to helps schools establish a baseline security capability through such measures as reinforced doors, shatter-resistant glass and physical locks at primary public entrances,” IEMA Director Jonathon Monken said. “These are the types of security enhancements experts say can buy valuable time for schools to implement emergency plans.”

Historical Society program to feature McClay Orchards By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It has been 65 years since the last apples were harvested from the McClay Apple Orchards near Hillview, and many people have forgotten just how prosperous the orchards were and how much they meant to the community. Doreen Wear, 82, of Hillview was born in the McClay Apple Orchards and her family had close ties with the McClay family, even after they were forced to sell off the orchard during the Depression. She will be presenting the program at the Historical Society in Carrollton on May 18 at 2 p.m. that looks back at the McClay Orchards and what they meant to Hillview. “My father, George W. Mast, came to Hillview from Chillicothe, Mo., in 1926 just to work in the apple orchards,” Wear said. “He met my mother, Lucille Henson, while working there, and even if he wasn’t working for Mr. McClay exclusively, he would always take the time to come back and work for him if he needed him.” Wear’s formative childhood years were spent at the orchard. “I remember when I started school at about 5 years old and we were living in a McClay house,” Wear said. “All through grade school we lived in one of the McClay houses – they owned, I think, 19 houses they rented out to their workers.” So, it’s really no surprise Wear has such an interest in what was once known as the largest singlefamily apple orchard in the United States. Albert Lorenzo McClay I and his brother George came to Patterson Township in 1891 looking for an ideal place to grow apples. They found it near a little town called Pegram. The hilly land had a type of loose soil known as loess, plus the location presented an excellent system of transportation with the C & A Railroad and Pegram was situated halfway between Chicago and

Kansas City which were, at the time, the two major markets for produce. A.L. McClay purchased 885 acres and George purchased 265 acres and the McClay Orchards were born. For the next 21 years the orchard business grew by leaps and bounds, bringing with it both jobs and workers who populated the small village of Pegram. Pegram’s name was later changed to Happyville and in 1903 to Hillview. A.L. McClay I and his wife went to a convention of apple growers in New York and caught a cold, which developed into pneumonia. He died in February 1912. His widow carried on the business as trustee for his three children and heirs, Albert Lorenzo, II, Edmund and Arthur. Two months later, when Albert turned 21, he leased the 808 acres from the estate and bought the personal property. Four years later he would purchase the 265 acres from his uncle, George, and would eventually purchase a large piece of land in the Hillview Drainage District. By 1919, the McClay Orchards were labeled the World’s Largest Apple Orchard by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. It was also the most up-to-date in modern conveniences including a spraying system throughout the orchard, which at this time was a pretty spectacular feature. A.L. McClay, II, took great care with his orchard. Each year there was a complete program of care performed over the entire orchard including pruning, spraying and fertilizing. Work around the warehouses and sheds gave year–round employment to around 35 men. His efforts paid off with 60,000 barrels of apples shipped out in 1919 on the C & A to the Chicago Cold Storage Co. During the harvest season, hundreds of workers maintained the orchard. These workers were housed in two large boarding houses. It is reported that at the peak of the apple gathering 500 or more people were

employed. In 1923, the orchard shipped 430 cards of apples, which was 100 more than the previous year. In 1925 the orchard had a capital stock of $280,000. The orchard was not unaccustomed to tragedy. In 1918 an apple evaporator in the west end of Hillview was used to dry apples, peaches and apricots. These fruits were then packed in boxes and shipped to grocery stores. A fire destroyed this part of the business. Then, in 1924, a carelessly thrown match destroyed 10 acres of new trees and damaged 40 acres of older trees. The year 1925 saw the orchard undertake a new innovation with the contracting of hives of bees. Sixty hives of bees arrived each day and were placed throughout the orchards and between the houses. This gave the orchard another product to market – honey. This turned out to be fortuitous for the orchard as that fall an early freeze ruined 10,000 barrels of apples still on the trees. This was the second heavy loss. The following year, 1926, was the beginning of the end of the orchard. In September the rains came and then the flooding began. The McClay Orchards’ trees were completely submerged by floodwaters. This area contained 640 acres of trees. It was during the Depression years between 1926 and 1930 that the heavy losses, leading to financial burdens on the McClay family, became too much to overcome. The Chicago Cold Storage Co. became the owner of the orchards in 1930 and other holdings in the bottomlands were lost. The Hillview Bank closed its doors on Feb. 27, 1930 – the first bank in Greene County to close its doors during the Depression. A.L. McClay continued to work the orchard which grew to include 1,800 acres employing up to 65 men on a year-round basis. The honey

became a big part of the business and was being taken from the hives by the ton. During the next decade, the orchard began to decline as trees aged and no longer produced as plentifully. The orchards were leased to R.A. Watson of Jerseyville in 1945. Watson continued to employ Hillview men but as the orchard declined so did the employment. and Hillview began its downward path losing not only population but also trade and businesses. The Hartline Construction Co. uprooted the last of the orchard in 1949 and a chapter of the history of Greene County, and Hillview in particular, came to an end. A.L. McClay, II died on June 7, 1957. His wife, Helen, lived the rest of her days in their first family home until her death on Aug. 5, 1985 at the age of 90. It is from Helen McClay that Wear draws much of her knowledge of the McClay family. “I remember a lot that Helen told me during those years before she passed,” Wear said. “We were in Home Extension for 20 years together and we had always been friends.” In fact, Wear has a piece of McClay history in her own home. “I have the two library cases that were built into the house,” Wear said. “I separated them and I have dolls displayed in one and quilts in the other one.” She said she thought it was time she shared what history she has of the McClay family before it’s too late. “I’m 82 years old now and everybody keeps asking me about things and about the orchards, and even though I’m sure there are some people older than me that remember the orchards – I remember them because I was born there,” she said. “I will be telling it as I remember it or as I was told. Some of the things might not be 100 percent exact, but they are close to it.”

Tips for dining out on Mother's Day

Give the gift of green for Mother's Day

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom's big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these "green" gifts. n Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother's tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. n Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restau-

rants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. n Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom's car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom's gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. n Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother's Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate

entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. n Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn't enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. n Select organic fruits and flowers. Companies like www.organicbouquet. com can assemble a bouquet made from responsibly grown flowers or even a wreath for a wall or door. They also have food gifts, from organic fruits to nuts. n Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother's Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. n Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother's Day. It's never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Don't forget Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11, 2014. n Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you're bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don't arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. n Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother's Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs

Shop smart for Mother's Day Come spring, shoppers often ask, "What gift should Iget Mom for Mother's Day?" How do people transform the sentiments they have for their mother into gifts that represent love and devotion? Buying a Mother's Day gift is no easy task, especially for those who wait until the last minute to do their shopping. Beginning early can ease the pressure of Mother's Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be ordering your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner. n Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take inventory of what Mom likes to do the most. If you ask your mother what she wants, she will likely brush off the question and tell you nothing. It is up to you to do the investigative work. Pay attention to conversations and see if there is anything she mentions wanting to try or something around the house that may need updating. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic. n Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Mother's Day. But it is essential to check expiration dates on the certificates or find gifts, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, chain restaurant gift cards don't expire for at least five years from purchase. Those might be your safest bet. n Verify a business. Although Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened, verify the business before buying a gift card from it. An unpredictable

economy has made it even harder for new businesses to succeed, and you don't Mom to be stuck with a worthless gift card should the new business not thrive. If she really likes a particular new business, take her on a shopping spree at the store instead. n Skip the chocolate overload. Flowers and chocolates are traditional Mother's Day gifts. However, calorieconscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but don't make that your main gift. n Avoid "final sale" items. It can be tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at Mom's favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on

returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the "final sale" racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged. n Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitors' ads. Therefore, if you feel more comfortable at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to your favorite store. There's a good chance they will give you the item for the same price. This works particularly well for tech gifts that typically go on sale in the days leading up to a holiday or special event. There are different ways to make shopping for Mother's Day gifts a little easier and guarantee the best experience for Mom as well.

might be overtaxed. What's more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother's Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. n Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she'll have that option. n Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratu-

ity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother's Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary. n Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mother's Day is a chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Mom's comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, and then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home for more celebrating.

Shopping for a garden storage shed Caring for a freshly sodded lawn

File Photo

Storage space is often a coveted commodity. Apartment dwellers seek out more closet space, homeowners may desire more acreage, and even children may want more space for their toys and belongings. The purchase of a storage shed could alleviate some clutter issues and move items outdoors -- creating more space. Household garages are no longer as popular for storing vehicles. Instead, garages are used to store the extra items that do not fit inside the home. Many people even turn to self-storage units for extra storage space. According to the Self Storage Association, the storage industry earned roughly $20 billion in revenues across North America in 2010. It has also been the fastest-growing segment of the commercial real estate industry for the last 30 years and is considered to be recession-proof. Garden storage sheds present another place where individuals can keep items out of sight but easily accessible. As garages fill up with belongings quite quickly, many homeowners think about a shed purchase to at least keep outdoor lawn and garden essentials in their own place. The process of purchasing a shed is not as simple as finding the least or most expensive type on the market. There are other factors that come into play when selecting a shed. * Appearance and design: Although the function of a shed is to store items out of sight, the shed itself will be in full view in a yard. Therefore, plenty of homeowners prefer something that has just as much aesthetic appeal as it does storage capacity. An unsightly shed can affect the overall appearance of a property, or even hurt the sale price for homeowners thinking about putting the home on the market. It's

The arrival of summer, along with its sunny skies and beautiful weather, beckons homeowners to create a space to entertain guests and enjoy the great outdoors. Design an outdoor living room that merges style and function, and incorporates elements of indoor comfort. Whether entertaining for two or 10, the warmer weather provides an abundance of opportunities to lounge in peaceful, open-air surroundings. New offerings in decor and design breathe indoor inspiration into your outdoor spaces, creating a beautiful extension of your home for all to enjoy. “It’s easier than ever to bring the comfort and style of your favorite indoor spaces into your porch, patio and other outdoor areas,” said Aimee Beatty, in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “From comfy throw pillows to trendy rugs, colorful artwork and cheery curtains, new outdoor products boast durability and so much style that your patio will be the neighborhood’s go-to summer hot spot.” Beatty shares some of her stylish secrets to make your outdoor space an elegant living space worth sharing. n Arrange away Treat your outdoor area as you would your living room. If space is limited, use sectionals to create seating in whatever arrangement fits best. If there is more room, add an invest-

important to select a shed in a price range that also complements the style of he home so it coordinates with other features. Some people choose to have a custom-built shed that can replicate the architectural style of the home and even features the same siding and finishing materials. * Size: Sheds come in a variety of sizes, from compact locker-sized sheds to large buildings that may even double as a garden room, pool room or kids' playhouse. Homeowners should keep in mind that the size of the shed may have to meet local municipality rules for additions or structural changes to a property. A larger shed may require a permanent flooring material, such as concrete, and may be subject to permit applications and inspections, whereas a smaller shed may not have such stringent requirements. Furthermore, certain towns actually may restrict the size and placement of a shed if it interferes with traffic visibility or impacts a neighbor in a negative way. * Minor enhancements: Touches like decorative architectural features, window boxes, shutters, or even simply planting shrubs and annuals around the shed can make it an integral part of the landscape instead of simply an eyesore. Double doors will ensure large pieces of equipment can fit inside the shed. The addition of a pressure-treated ramp at the entryway provides easy access to the shed as well. Storage sheds can provide muchneeded space for homeowners. Certain features as well as cost need to be factored into the decision before purchase. Homeowners should compare chain home improvement stores as well as private retailers to find a shed that is the best fit.

ment piece, such as the Echo Beach Dining Table from Pier 1 Imports. This high-quality piece is made from handcrafted, all-weather synthetic rattan and offers plenty of space to arrange chairs just as you would in your dining room. Finish the look by layering your favorite accessories, such as handcrafted trays, detailed lanterns and a colorful floral arrangement to create a cheerful centerpiece that makes your guests feel welcome. n Tie it all together To let you in on a little secret - outdoor rugs tie everything together and really bring a space to life. Simply layer a rug, such as Pier 1 Imports’ chic Wavy Geo Rug, with a beautiful seating collection, colorful cushions and pillows, and you’ve got an outdoor area that makes everyone comfortable and happy. n Embrace the bold Some might be afraid to create a statement outside because - it’s outside. But an outdoor living space lends itself to adventures with color and pattern, providing the opportunity to be bold and to go beyond your comfort zone. When shopping for the outdoors, remember - anything goes. n Make it uniquely yours Mix and match with color and patterns, and personalize your space with accents such as outdoor artwork, planters, umbrellas and more. A smart

Sod, sometimes called turf, can quickly turn a barren landscape into a rich, thick carpet of green. Homeowners hoping to revive their lawns commonly turn to sod as the quickest means to do just that. However, once the sod has been laid down, few homeowners may know how to keep it looking its best. Sod is real grass that is grown on special farms. It is generally grown locally to avoid long transport times that could dry out the product. Sod is typically sold in squares or rolls of grass that come with the roots and soil already attached. There may be some sort of thin backing material on the sod to keep the grass blades together. Sodding a lawn is a major investment, costing as much as $1 per two-foot square. Depending on the size of your lawn, this can be a costly job even before adding the cost of additional supplies, such as soil, fertilizer and tilling equipment. Many homeowners who install sod want to ensure their investment lasts. Here are the main ways to care for and protect sod until it is fully established.

n Once the sod has been laid down, the lawn should be thoroughly soaked with water. Most experts recommend soaking it to a depth of 6 inches. n It is important to establish a watering schedule to keep the sod moist. Water the sod to a depth of one inch every other day for the first three weeks to enable the roots to securely establish themselves in the soil. n Water the sod every other day unless the weather has been very warm. After four weeks you can generally go up to five days without watering as long as you transition slowly. The sod will change colors if it is not getting enough water. Never let the lawn turn yellow, otherwise you may have to cut out dead spots and re-sod. n Wait two to four weeks before mowing the sod. Keep the lawn height to around two inches to ensure that it won't scald in the sun. Using sod to establish a lush lawn is a fast, albeit more expensive option to sowing seeds. After a few weeks the lawn will be thick and secure.

combination of accessories really transforms an outdoor space from simple to fabulous. n Be bright, all night The sun may still be shining when the guests arrive, but you’ll need something to light up the night and keep the party going all evening long. Create a delightful, welcoming atmosphere with a variety of outdoor lighting options, such as string lights, paper lanterns or floating LED candles placed around the patio. Fashion an elegant glow with lanterns in various sizes, such as the Scroll Trim Lanterns from Pier 1 Imports. n Serve in style Al fresco entertaining always focuses on food, drinks and friends. A self-service food station or bar enhances the casual tone, freeing guests to grab refreshments whenever they please. This also allows you, the host, to focus on the fun at hand. Look for serving and drink carts that maximize space, such as the Rania Serving Cart from Pier 1 Imports, which has three levels so there’s plenty of room to stash an ice bucket, drink dispenser, snacks, lawn games and more. So let the warmth of the season bring many memorable moments to your life and stylish elements into your outdoor spaces. For more great decorating ideas, visit www.pier1.com.

Synthetic fibers used in these fabrics are designed to bead water, resist stains and maintain their color. With this in mind, you can lengthen the lifespan of such materials by covering them when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or sun. n Acrylics and Melamine Outdoor drinkware and dinnerware made of acrylic and melamine provide much of the same great style as their glass counterparts without the breakability. A nice set of acrylic drinkware and melamine dinnerware, such as Summer Quench Turquoise Goblets and Trellis Dinnerware, both from Pier 1 Imports, will keep your outdoor

All-weather chairs, tables and more are woven of synthetic rattan or wicker over durable, rustresistant frames, making them durable and easy to clean. This approach offers the flexibility to incorporate a woven look into furniture of all styles - from traditional to global, modern to whimsical - without sacrificing durability and longevity.

Conservation Congress 2014: The results are in Acquiring new wildlife habitat, strengthening conservation laws and expanding the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ constituencies through outreach emerged as the top priorities during Conservation Congress 2014. Priorities identified reflected the theme of the meeting: Charting a Course to Protect and Preserve Our Natural Resources. The event was held April 11-12 at Illinois Department of Natural Resources Headquarters in Springfield. “Conservation Congress provides a chance for us to have open and direct discussion with those who care deeply about conservation in Illinois,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “During

past Conservation Congress meetings, constituents have helped us chart a course toward sustainable funding and provided valuable input on other important issues. It also gives agency personnel a chance to explain what we are doing and why, especially when it comes to complex biological and regulatory decisions.” The event featured panel discussions on the agency’s role as conserver of Illinois’ natural resources and the future of apex predators in Illinois. In addition, IDNR staff facilitated 12 breakout sessions with members of the public providing their recommendations to move issues forward. • Members of the public can see

archived webcasts of both days, including the panel discussion on apex predators held April 12 at: http://www.dnr. illinois.gov/ConservationCongress/ Pages/default.aspx. • In addition, visitors to the website can see how Conservation Congress attendees voted • The public will be able to review recommendations • Comments will be accepted through the website until May 23 • IDNR will provide progress reports periodically Conservation Congress began in 1993. It was initially modeled after the Illinois General Assembly to include representatives from a variety

of constituent groups around the state. Conservation Congress was discontinued in 2003. Under the leadership of Gov. Pat Quinn and Director Miller, Conservation Congress was reinstituted in 2009. And this year, members of the public were invited to participate and work hand-in-hand with IDNR to create a fresh set of priorities moving forward. The IDNR greatly appreciates the public’s input to help shape the future work of the agency. After reviewing all comments, the agency will provide an updated recommendation report.

New easement options for Illinois farms The new Farm Bill includes the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), a new conservation program that consolidates three former programs–the Wetlands Reserve Program, Grassland Reserve Program and Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program. NRCS’ new ‘super easement’ program provides financial and technical assistance in two different ways: to conserve working agricultural lands and create wetlands and their related benefits. According to Illinois’ State Conservationist Ivan Dozier, easement components help landowners protect and enhance enrolled lands. Interested parties must submit ACEP applications by June 6.. Why are easements a good option

to consider? The Ag Land Easements offer ways to protect the long-term viability of our nation’s food supply by preventing the conversion of productive working lands to non-agricultural uses. These lands provide important public benefits, including environmental quality, historic preservation, wildlife habitat and protection of open space. Using Wetland Reserve Easements will provide habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened and endangered species. These easements improve water quality by filtering sediments and chemicals, reduce flooding, recharge groundwater, protect biological diversity and provide opportunities for educational, scientific and recreational activities.

Through the use of easements, NRCS works with private landowners and partners to protect agricultural use and conserve eligible land. On working farms, easements help farmers keep their land in production agriculture or in grass for grazing without risk of conversion to non-ag use. Under the Agricultural Land component, NRCS may contribute up to 50 percent of the easement’s fair market value. On sites where NRCS determines grasslands with special environmental significance need protection, NRCS may contribute up to 75 percent of the easement’s fair market value. Under the Wetland Reserve component, NRCS offers three enrollment options:

Permanent Easements – These last forever. NRCS pays 100 percent of the easement value for purchase of the easement and between 75 to 100 percent of restoration costs. 30-year Easements – These expire after 30 years. NRCS pays 50 to 75 percent of the easement value for purchase of the easement and for 50 to 75 percent of restoration costs. If a conservation easement sounds like a good option for protecting your farm or your family’s land, make an appointment to visit your local NRCS office. Start the conservation conversation today!

Wingshooting clinic scheduled for the World Shooting and Recreational Complex The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), the Friends of the World Shooting and Recreational Complex, and the Randolph County Cutters and Strutters are sponsoring a wingshooting clinic for youth and women on May 17-18 at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex (WSRC) in Sparta (Randolph County). The WSRC Youth/Women’s Wingshooting Clinic is an introductory clinic designed for boys, girls and women interested in learning to shoot or improving their ability to shoot a shotgun at a moving target. Typically, on Saturday boys and girls in the 10-15 ages group participate, while women of any age, as well as girls 10 years and older, participate on Sunday. However, young shotgun shooters can be accommodated on Sunday and women shotgun shooters can be accommodated on Saturday if they have scheduling conflicts with the typical days. Because there are several co-sponsors, this youth/women’s clinic is provided at no cost to participants. Youth/Women’s wingshooting clinics are about learning to safely shoot a shotgun at a moving target with reason-

able reliability. The clinic starts with a shotgun safety presentation at 9 a.m. followed by a short small group handson shotgun orientation session with each group’s wingshooting instructor. The remainder of the morning and part of the afternoon is spent in the field shooting clay targets until about 3:30 p.m. Shotguns and shotshells are provided. Not only do the participants learn to safely handle and shoot a shotgun, but they learn that being skilled at shooting clay targets is a lot of fun. This clinic is taught by instructors certified by the IDNR and the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA). The participant-to-instructor ratio is four to one. Typically participants are grouped with others of similar shooting ability. Advanced registration is required. Registration forms for the WSRC Wingshooting Clinic can be accessed at http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/ landmgt/programs/wingshooting/ WingshootingDates.htm Click on the date you plan to attend to access the appropriate forms. Follow the instructions on the forms.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD | GREENE COUNTY MEET

Spartans, Lady Hawks win titles The North Greene High School Spartans and Carrollton Lady Hawks were crowned the respective kings and queens of Greene County track and field by edging out victories at the annual county championships Monday in Carrollton. The Spartans tallied 90 points in boys competition, edging out second-place Carrollton's 80 points while Greenfield-Northwestern totaled 20. The Lady Hawks amassed 71 points to fend off runner-up Greenfield-NW's 63 points and North Greene's 53. North Greene's boys won 11 of 19 events. Logan Ross claimed county championships in three events. His 51.8-second effort was fastest in the 400-meter run, he won the long jump in 18 feet, 10.5 inches, and went 40 feet, 1 inch, to take first place in the triple jump. He was the runner-up in the high jump after leaping 5 feet, 10 inches. Matt Kisselbach gave the Spartans individual victories in both the 100-meter dash — in 11.8 seconds — and the discus, which he tossed 141 feet, 10 inches. Tyler Frye was a two-event

individual winner for Carrollton. He won the 1,600-meter run in 5:03.9 seconds and the 3,200-meter run in 11:16. The Hawks' Cody Leonard, who earlier this season set the high jump school record at 6 feet, 7 inches, won the event Monday by clearing 6 feet, 4 inches. In girls competition, Olivia Waters and Maddy Custer each won a pair of individual titles to help the Lady Hawks to their county championship. Waters won the high jump by successfully clearing 4 feet, 8 inches, and she won the 100-meter high hurdles in 17.7 seconds. Custer won the two distance events, finishing in 6:13.8 in the 1,600-meter run and in 14:30.9 in the 3,200-meter run.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

North Greene repeats as champs The North Greene High School baseball team successfully defended its 2013 Western Illinois Valley Conference South title as the Spartans repeated as league champions with a doubleheader sweep of Pleasant Hill Thursday in White Hall. The Spartans capped their WIVC South schedule with 15-1 and 20-4 wins, both in five innings, against the Wolves Thursday. Reed Rusten pitched three scoreless innings with four strikeouts and allowed just two hits and no walks to earn the win from the mound in the opener while going 2-for-3 with two runs batted in offensively. Connor Vincent hit a solo home run and Adam Knox went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Nathan Randall pitched a complete game in the finale. He scattered six hits through five innings and surrendered no earned runs with four strikeouts and a pair of walks. Knox tripled and doubled to drive in two runs and scored three times. Chas Lewis and Rusten each added multi-hit games with two RBIs each. The Spartans continued their winning ways by beating Athens 5-2 Friday behind a complete game from the mound out of Knox and Rusten threw a three-hit shutout as North Greene beat Western 2-0 Saturday in Barry. The Spartans, 16-7 overall, will be the No. 2 seed at the Class 1A regional tournament they'll host in White Hall. WIVC South co-champion Calhoun (21-11) was revealed to have earned the No. 1 seed Tuesday. The regional's full schedule will be revealed around 4 p.m. Wednesday at www.IHSA.org. Carrollton will be the No. 3 seed. The Hawks are 12-12 overall this season and finished 4-4 in league play. No. 4 seed Brussels is the regional's only school not from the WIVC South. Having just split a doubleheader with Brussels Saturday in Greenfield, the Greenfield-Northwestern Tigers are the No. 5 seed in White Hall. The Raiders won a 12-7 decision in the teams' opener, but Greenfield-NW bounced back with a 15-8 victory in the finale. Jared Henson hit two home runs, including one grand slam, during a 2-for-4 game with six RBIs. In softball action, Carrollton will be the No. 2 seed behind only host and rival Calhoun at the Hardin Class 1A Regional. The Lady Warriors won 8-2 and 12-3 decisions when the teams met for a WIVC South title-deciding doubleheader Thursday in Hardin. Carrollton finished with a 5-3 record in league play.
