Carrollton police soon to be on poultry patrol By carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press Residents in Carrollton who own chickens might want to make it a point to attend the June 25 Carrollton City Council meeting. Discussion of the subject at the May 28 workshop meeting ended in the council deciding to go with zero tolerance. Police Chief Kenny Kallal was instructed to type up a letter, which the council will vote on, stating residents harboring illegal chickens will have 30 days to dispose of the fowl or face a daily fine from the “poultry police.” Residents in Carrollton have long had chickens, but last year it was discovered that there is a city ordinance prohibiting both chickens and

rabbits within the city limits. At the time, even a city police officer had chickens and sold the eggs along with several other residents throughout town and there didn’t seem to be a problem. Since then, the police officer was forced to get rid of his chickens, despite the council essentially grandfathering in those who already had chickens but limiting the number to only five chickens and no roosters. Alderman Tom Wilson asked Kallal if any of those people had increased their flock and when Kallal said they had, Wilson said “I’m inclined to just say that is it, we are done.” Alderwoman Sharon Butler said there are two new houses in town that have chickens. “We might end up having to pay a couple people the cost of their chicken coops, but so

be it,” Wilson said. “I’m going to make the suggestion that we just go to zero tolerance on the issue. If we don’t, it is going to be an ongoing problem because if people, especially new people are coming in and seeing chickens in town, then they are going to think they can have them, too, and we are going to be fighting that constantly.” Kallal said the problem is knowing where they are. “Reg (Pohlman) has done his best to try to find out where they are at, but unless a rooster crows or something that is the only way we are going to know people have them,” Kallal said. “For us to regulate it is just going to be crazy.” Alderwoman Sharon Butler, who has been staunchly against chickens in town from the very beginning, asked if it was true there are

now chickens in the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield. According to a Springfield newspaper, The State Journal Register, a flock of eight hens has moved onto the property laying eggs that are eaten by guests dining at the home. “The chickens peck at flowers, recycle plant waste and provide manure for the gardens,” the article said. “They live in a donated coop that’s inside a fenced-in enclosure and are part of an ongoing sustainability effort.” Backyard chickens are legal in Springfield, as they are in Jerseyville, Alton, and several rural communities. Even larger cities are joining what is being called the “green movement.” Dr. August and Clare Adams have been at the center of the controversy and they plan to (See, police, A2)

White Hall fire ruled arson

News

A house fire on the corner of Lincoln and Bates streets on Friday, May 23 in White Hall is being ruled arson. According to White Hall Fire Chief Garry Shephard, his department was called out at 10:30 p.m. to the home of Jason K. Sprague after neighbors spotted the fire. “When we arrived on the scene the fire had a pretty good head start,” Shephard said. “Fire was already

Springfield resident Todd Pinkerton-Riegel poses with his book, "White Hall Stoneware" Saturday at the annual White Hall Stoneware swap meet. The book details the history of White Hall pottery and serves as a reference guide for collectors. Pinkerton-Riegel, a native of Greene County, sold all 50 copies of his book that he had printed during Saturday's event.

By carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press Looking around the city of White Hall, it’s hard to believe that at one time there were more than a dozen stoneware plants producing thousands of pieces of stoneware each year shipped throughout the country. Those days are long gone, but the products that came from these plants are in high demand by collectors like Todd PinkertonRiegel, who has just published a book on the stoneware produced in White Hall called “White Hall Stoneware.” Now a resident of Springfield, the 1992 graduate of North Greene High School said his interest in White Hall pottery began only six years ago. “To be honest, I had no clue that White Hall was founded and essentially grew because of these stoneware plants,” Pinkerton-Riegel said. “So, ultimately, my goal is to document the stoneware and hopefully document what really made this town.” The operation of stoneware plants in White Hall date back to the Civil War, but of all those, the plants of A.D. Ruckles and the White Hall Stoneware and Sewer Pipe stand

out as the most well known because they were the biggest plants and in operation the longest. Many White Hall pottery collectors got their start by pieces passed down through the generations, including Pinkerton-Riegel. “I know I got three pieces that were my great-grandfather’s and that is what started my collection,” he said. “I now have more than 300 pieces and a lot of these were found in basements. They were sitting in someone’s grandparents’ basements and when the kids came in and cleaned them out they saw them, and from there they either kept them or it went to an auction.” As his collection continued to grow, Pinkerton-Riegel wanted to make the collection process easier for future collectors. “What I’m trying to document, so that there is some kind of record of the potters and the potteries that were here in White Hall,” he said. “When you get into dealing with some of the old time collectors, they know what they have, but there is nothing out there for the new collector to go by.” If a piece is not marked, and many of them weren’t, the only way to confirm a piece came from White Hall is to find the piece featured (See, pottery, A2)

Firemen work atop the Hog Inc. grain elevator to put out a fire Friday afternoon which was caused by a bearing going out in the miling machine. Fire departments from Greenfield, Carrollton, Kane and Rockbridge were on the scene for four hours.

By carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press A fire at the Hog Inc. grain elevator in Greenfield Friday afternoon caused extensive damage to the milling machine. According to Greenfield Fire Chief Warren Vetter, the fire was caused by a bearing going out in the milling machine. “This caused the pellets to get hot which caused the fire,” Vetter said. “There was quite a bit of damage to the pelleting machine.” The pelleting machine was located on the main floor of the elevator but the fire extended down into the basement and up above the dust collector. Vetter said he was worried about an explosion. “Anytime you have a grain elevator fire you worry about an explosion,” he said. “An explosion can happen any time there is a lot of dust, but fortunately that didn’t happen. A fire like this can go bad in a hurry but everything worked out fine and we were able to put out the fire.” Fire departments from Greenfield, Carrollton, Kane and Rockbridge responded C

to the fire along with an ambulance from Boyd Hospital. Firefighters were on the scene for around four hours. No one was hurt in the fire and Vetter said he had no estimate of the cost of the damage to the milling machine. “They are back up and running as far as making feed, but the milling part isn’t running yet,” Vetter added.

Letters to the editor Wants everyone to come out and support the Lions TO THE EDITOR: We are already into June and the 4th of July will be here before you know it! Many of us look forward to the local festivities put on by the White Hall Lions Club. I know I do. I’ve only missed one in 39 years and that’s because I was out of town. My point being, where would you spend the holiday if not for the White Hall Lions? They are making some changes this year to celebrate their 75th year as a community

organization, and I’ve heard many negative comments about them, ranging from “I’m not going!” to “I can’t believe they are doing this!” The festivities will be held at the White Hall Rez this year and here is a list of some of the activities they have planned: Parade as always on Wednesday, July 3rd - same route Volleyball Tournament Flea Market Bingo Gator Raffle

Music by country music artist Frankie Ballard on July 5 - tickets $15 opening act is the Devin Clemonds Band Other music includes local favorite, Flatland, as well as The Hip Bone Sam Band A new addition will be a beer tent and don’t forget the fireworks!!!! Instead of being negative, come out and support these hard-working Lions members who are trying to bring more to our community. They provide somewhere for us to cel-

ebrate close to home every year, come out and support them! And yes, they are charging $3 to park get over it! Why not check out their Facebook page? Better yet, why not volunteer a couple of hours to help out - many hands make light work! Contact Ron Gilmore at 374-2491 and lend a hand! Hope to see you there! KAREN MEEHAN Roodhouse, Ill.

Summer Lunch Program to start in June Grateful TO THE EDITOR: Over 65% of our children in the North Greene School District receive free or reduced lunches. What happens to these children in the summer months? This was a concern of mine, a retired teacher in the district. So, 10 years ago, Helping Hands, which is a nondenominational group organized to help people in the community, took on the challenge of serving lunches in the parks in White Hall, Roodhouse and Patterson. (Hillview doesn’t participate anymore). The program has been very successful and had the support of many people in the area. So the plans are to start serv-

Police

(Continued from A1) not only be at the next city council meeting, but plan to fight the city if they have to get rid of them. “It will be a great disappointment if our city board members choose to ban chickens in Carrollton,” Clare Adams said. “When choosing where to live, one of the things we loved most about Carrollton was the way the town seemed to have beauty and charm – allowing people to bring their own unique essence to their homes and community.” This included raising chickens, both as pets and for the eggs. “Over the years, we noticed that people in town had pet chickens,” Adams said. “Raising backyard hens for nutritious, organic eggs is very common and is now allowed in many viable communities – even the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield has pet chickens.” So when the lot next to their home on South Main Street became available they purchased it to have space to keep pet chickens. “Initially, we went to city hall and were told we could have seven chickens and needed to purchase a fence

ing lunches Monday, June 16th thru August 8th. The lunches will be prepared at the Roodhouse Jr. High Cafeteria, then taken to the housing units first, (11:45) and then to the city parks (noon). In Patterson, lunches will be distributed at the Post Office at 11:45 a.m. Churches will be asked to help prepare the lunches for a week at a time. Churches, which have not participated, but would like to do so, should contact Tammy Winters. Also, an organization could volunteer to prepare lunches for a week. Girl Scouts have helped, as well as students needing community service hours. This would be a

great project for a youth group to do for a day or more. Adults, who would like to help, may contact Tammy Winters. Any donations of money would greatly be appreciated for the project. Checks should be made out to Helping Hands and sent to Tammy Winters at 131 Ross St. White Hall. 62092 This is a very worthwhile project for our area. If you wish to help with the project, please contact Tammy Winters (374-6028) as soon as possible.

permit,” Adams said. “We followed the rules but directly upon completion of our fence and coop, there was the question of the ordinance. As of last fall, the current city board told us that they would allow an owner to have five hens – and again we followed the rules.” So the decision now, to make the Adamses, along with several other residents, get rid of their chickens is baffling the family. “We don’t understand why pet chickens have been allowed in town for years without issue until we had them,” Adams said. “It seems to us that the city is selectively enforcing their laws. As I drive around town, I see so many other real issues the city should be concerned with. Perhaps they should not waste their time and money with a prolonged battle over a few pet chickens.” The city has the option to amend the ordinance to allow chickens, along with setting guidelines for their care and upkeep if council members so desire to. City Attorney Anne Clough asked Alderman Joe Harness if he was OK with the city enforcing its current ordi-

nance, which totally prohibits them. “Yes, I agree with the ordinance as written,” Harness said. If chicken owners do not get rid of their chickens within 30 days of receipt of the letter the council has yet to approve, they will receive a fine for each day they are not in compliance with the ordinance. In other business, Wilson asked Chief Kallal if the city was running two police cars every night of the week. “No, we usually run two on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,” Kallal said. Wilson, however, said on Tuesday night he saw two cars on patrol. “I’d have to look at the schedule, but there could have been,” Kallal said. “What we are running into now is we got one guy that if he is off our extra guy is working weekends, and if I do have him working it is on a Tuesday cause we are just trying to fill hours to give him a day off somewhere. Usually it is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.” Alderman Sean Walker announced his resignation from the council at the beginning of the meeting and left.

made it arson real quick,” Shephard said. “Since it is a criminal investigation we have turned it over to the police department.” Firefighters were on the scene

for approximately an hour-and-ahalf. Shephard said they had the fire under control pretty quick but there were a lot of hot spots because the fire had traveled up into the attic.

Pottery (Continued from A1) in an old brochure or contact some of the older collectors who have been collecting the pottery for decades. Much of the stoneware produced in White Hall was used in the home, such as crocks, bowls, pitchers, etc. They were mass produced so the prices were cheap and if a bowl or crock broke, most housewives simply bought another one. But the invention of plastic signaled the end to the popularity of stoneware in the kitchen. “Essentially, there was no longer any need for it as people moved from stoneware products to plastic, whether it be Tupperware or other forms of storage containers,” Pinkerton-Riegel said. “They had refrigeration now so there just wasn’t any need for it anymore. It wasn’t like in the ‘20s and ‘30s when it was a necessity for every family to have a set of bowls.” In an effort to survive, the stoneware plants turned to producing novelty items such as vases, doorstops, etc. This, however, was not enough to keep the doors open. The last pottery

in White Hall closed its doors in the 1950s. The most sought after pieces are called lunchtime pieces and they were created by the factory workers on their lunch hours as gifts for their family. Most of them signed them on the bottom with their initials. “They are so desirable because they are one-of-a-kind pieces,” PinkertonRiegel said. “There is everything out there from doorstops to bookends to Christmas tree ornaments. How can you really put a price on something there is only one of?” He began the book in August of last year and completed it in March, and the driving force behind its creation was the lack of resource material. “When I started collecting there was no resource material out there, and so it was all done by trial and error,” he said. “I bought a lot of pieces I thought were White Hall pieces but I was later told they weren’t. “ “It is primarily made up of my collection – I would say 85 percent of the pieces featured in there are mine,

but I did go to a couple of other big collectors and pulled some of their rare pieces to include in the book, as well,” Pinkerton-Riegel said. “I didn’t put any piece in there that I could not prove was from White Hall.” He had no idea how popular the book would prove to be so he had an initial run of only 50 copies produced. He sold all 50 copies in less than two hours this past Saturday at the White Hall Stoneware annual Swap Meet and Show. “If I would have known it was going to be so popular, I would have ordered a lot more, but the cost was pretty high to get them produced and I didn’t want to have 100 books and a couple thousand dollars wrapped up in books that were just going to be sitting in a spare room,” he said. However, he will be making another order and those books can be ordered directly through the White Hall Stoneware Club website, which he hopes to have up and running within the next month. He also plans to have them placed in some local antique stores.

Greenfield News Birthdays

Births

Grant Wayne Scroggins

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Ever faithful Mable Batty Cole and Amelia Burger telephone me each day to be assured that I am all right. Today I enjoyed fresh asparagus from Kathy and Larry Mears garden. Kathy stayed awhile. She informed me that Russell Morrow is celebrating his 90th birthday this month. Here’s hoping that Patty Knisley enjoyed herself last evening (when she came to call) as much as I did. She read to me a beautiful poem entitled “Easter” that she had composed. She had songbooks that her dad Elmer Knisley (d) had bought from the ‘Sons of the Pioneers’. “Nearer My God To Thee”, “Abide With Me” and “On Top of Ole Smokey”. I played piano and she sang in her sweet girlish voice. She’s similar to a daughter to me. Thursday, May 15, 2014 the Greenfield Lions met at the Rockbridge Township Hall on Walnut Street in Greenfield. Amelia Burger gave to me a fast and sassy recipe. Peach Jell-O filled with tropical fruit and marshmallows. Instead of cookies serve with Ritz crackers. Congratulations to the Greenfield High School Class of 2014. My cousin Mark Jennings, son of Chuck and T.J. Jennings is the 32nd Alumni descendant of Benjamin and Gabriella Crook Jennings. Their son Robert Jennings graduated in 1927. After attending church at Rockbridge Methodist Church Amelia Burger drove to Jerseyville where she attended a family after-graduation feast for Taylor Ebhart - Fudge. Breyer Teaney, son of the late Randy B. Teaney and Tammy (Dalton) Teaney graduated from high school. Since their parent’s deaths, Breyer and his brother Kole have lived with family Naomi and Randy Teaney in Iowa. Breyer has worked all through high school and received an Academic Award every year. He is also a member of the National Society for High School Scholars. He will be going to Iowa State in the fall studying Elementary Education. A couple of weeks ago Clifton came into the house with a big grin on his face saying, “Mom, you have wrens in the birdhouse out by the shed and forsythias.” Dale made unpainted birdhouses and I selected the places to hang them. There’s one in the tree near the lilac bush and one outside my kitchen door above the pfitzer and near a swinging basket of flowers. There are two reasons for the locations - cats can’t climb lilacs and pfitzer bushes. When baby wrens learn to fly, mama pushes them out from the nest. They land in the bush, are weak but flutter their wings, go from twig to twig, grow stronger and have nests of their own. One summer I asked neighbor children to come down and watch the baby wrens learning to fly. Mother Wren’s nest (no house) was in dad and mother Love’s grape arbor. Jim Story and his sister Suzi were the first to arrive. Grandma Ruthie Armold came with Nan Corman and Donna Ford saying, “I won’t stay, wrens don’t care for grow-ups.” We sat on the wall platform. Mom brought to us watermelon - she hung some for the birds, pumped water and swept the platform. Hop you remember, Jim! Recently Patty Knisley, Amy Turpin, Skip Riggs, Mary sue Nettles and Doris Feltes had lunch in Standard City east of Carlinville. On Sunday Beth Fields held a birthday BBQ for her mother, Debbi. Nancy Griswold Mansfield of White Hall telephoned me. We have been Presbyterian Church friends for 52 years. Nancy’s daughter, Julie and husband Tom King spend quality time with Nancy coming from Olathe, Kan. at noon on Saturday and going home in time for work on Monday. Hi, Julie! (She read my news). It doesn’t seem possible that the little six-year-old Julie that I knew is a grandmother. Tim and Julie’s son John King and wife are the parents of a three-month-old son, Carter King. He behaved nicely at his baptism when his parents promised God the many things that they would do for his Christian upbringing. Grandson Daniel King took Nancy to his Presbyterian Church. Recently Margaret Kahl Auterman of Fithian drove her mother Barbara Kahl to an after graduation reception honoring Kevin Boone who graduated at Western. He is continuing his studies to earn his Master’s degree. Boone is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rusty Boone. His mother who is a traveling nurse attended all of the festivities but had to fly back to her duties in Minnesota. Cousin Cory McCarn could not attend as he also graduated that day. He too is continuing his education. McCarn’s father was in attendance. Due to health his mother Mary Kahl McCarn could not attend. Today May 24, 2014 my son was dismissed from Springfield Memorial Hospital. His wife, Shirley was a good nurse. At 8 o’clock last p.m. I telephoned Clifton and my White Hall Presbyterian minister to pray. He went over immediately and called me (on his return) of Clifton D’s improvement. This morning, Clifton telephoned me and I told him how his father Dale started to work for the railroad. ‘Til next time!

Couple plans ‘Wedding in the Woods’ By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press

the next year that Oct. 4 fell on a Saturday. Kraut said she loves October

Almost every young couple planning to tie the knot wants that special wedding that they will remember for the rest of their lives and this will surely be the case for Hayden Eilerman and Kayce Kraut. They have decided to have a “Wedding in the Woods” – literally. They will be married on Oct. 4 at the old 4-H camp at Jacksonville Lake followed by a bonfire. Instead of celebrating with champagne they will be celebrating with s’mores. After being together for six years, Eilerman proposed to Kraut in February. Nothing is typical about their wedding, not even the proposal, as Kraut explained. “My dad is always saying ‘10-4 good buddy’ and I thought that was a good date because it was easy to remember and people always joke about husbands forgetting their anniversary,” Kraut said. “And, I figure since I’m going to marry a redneck I guess our wedding date should be memorable.” So, Kraut knew the date she wanted to get married but there was also one other requirement – she wanted to get married on a Saturday. The problem was if she didn’t get married this year, she would have to wait until 2021 –

“I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background. I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’”

Simplify and save on your wedding Planning a wedding is complicated. Once couples choose a date and location for their ceremony, they can then can get down to the nuts and bolts of the big day. When planning a wedding, many couples are governed by a budget. Budgets often get stretched, but even those brides- and grooms-to-be who spend more than they had initially hoped often find themselves not going too far over budget. One of the best ways for couples to stay within spitting distance of their budget or even come in under budget is to take steps to simplify the ceremony and reception. Simplifying a few aspects of the wedding can save couples money without forcing them to make sacrifices that affect the look or feel of occasion. n Turn floral arrangements into multi-purpose accessories. Bridesmaids typically carry beautiful floral bouquets during the wedding ceremony. But such bouquets are quickly put down and forgotten once a couple has officially tied the knot. Couples can save a few dollars by repurposing floral bouquets and other floral arrangements used during the ceremony. Once the ceremony has ended, repurpose floral bouquets as centerpieces for the reception tables and turn flowers used as aisle markers during the ceremony into small centerpieces on the escort card table or place them alongside the guestbook. This saves you the trouble of choosing various floral arrangements to display throughout the reception venue and also saves you money. n Scale back on the alcohol offerings. Some couples opt for a fullservice, top-shelf bar at their wedding. While that's a nice gesture, it's also an expensive one. Couples can save a substantial amount of money by simplifying the alcoholic offerings at their reception. Instead of a full top-shelf bar, offer guests one or two choices of popular liquors such as whiskey, rum and vodka and steer clear of especially expensive brands. The majority of guests likely won't even notice, but couples will notice how much money they save. n Choose a classic cake. Elaborate cakes may be de rigueur, but the cost of an especially elaborate wedding cake can make a cost-conscious couple's collective jaw drop. Instead of a specially designed, labor-intensive cake, choose a classic cake that won't break the bank. Classic cakes can add an elegant touch to a wedding without extending a couple's budget. n Trim the guest list. Trimming the guest list is arguably the most effective way to simplify a wedding while

simultaneously saving some money. Once you have compiled a list of potential invitees, peruse that list to determine if there are any people who can be trimmed from the list. This is easier for couples paying for their own wedding, as they won't feel pressured to invite any friends or colleagues of their parents whom they don't know personally. But even couples splitting the cost of their weddings with their parents should speak with their parents about trimming the guest list to make the affair a little less expensive. Traditional weddings are anything but simple. But there are ways for couples to make planning their wedding less complicated while saving some money at the same time.

the beginning of bow season so our anniversary is going to be at the start of bow season,” she said. “I really had to fight for that date because deer season is very important in both his family and mine. My dad even made sure my mom wouldn’t deliver a baby during deer season because he had no intention of missing it.” With the date set, next came setting a theme for the wedding. “I’ve always liked outdoor weddings but I didn’t care for the typical ones where there is one tree in the background,” Kraut said. “I wanted something different and then I was on Pinterest and I saw this wedding that was held in a really wooded area and I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want – I want a wedding in the woods.’” But finding a venue to provide just the right atmosphere would be a little more difficult. “We looked at several different places but none of them had everything we wanted, which was a lot of trees along with water,” Kraut said. “I was telling my friend, Hattie Plogger, about it and said if she ever ran across such a place to let us know. She told us about Jacksonville Lake and we went and looked at it and it was just perfect for us.” So what does one wear to a “Wedding in the Woods?” Certainly not the traditional attire

of an elaborate wedding dresses and tuxedos. “My dress is going to be really simple and laid back,” Kraut said. “The boys are going to just wear dress pants and a button up shirt with rolled up sleeves and no tie. Hayden hates to wear ties, plus it would look really out of place in such an outdoorsy atmosphere.” Following the short 30-minute ceremony, guests will be asked to gather around a bonfire, where they will be making s’mores. For the honeymoon, the couple must be on an airplane at 4:30 a.m. the day after the wedding so they can board a ship for a cruise around the Caribbean. Even this could prove to be out of the ordinary. “It is during hurricane season so we were able to get it really cheap,” Kraut said. “If there is a hurricane or something interrupts our cruise, then you get free cruises for like five years or something so we are like ‘Hey, bring on the rain.’” When they return to Carrollton as man and wife, the couple will reside in the parsonage at Lifepoint Church (formerly Assembly of God) where Eilerman is youth pastor and Kraut works in the office. Eilerman is also a member of the Air National Guard and works in Springfield on F-16 jet engines.

Obituaries State Fire Marshal highlights safety awareness, preparation during National Safety Month The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), in conjunction with the National Safety Council (NSC) is highlighting fire safety education as part of the annual observance of National Safety Month. This year’s campaign theme is “Safety: It Takes All of Us” and is aimed at encouraging the public to practice safe behavior to prevent personal injuries and deaths. During the month of June, the NSC and OSFM are asking the public to focus on six key areas: fire safety (the number one priority for OSFM), prescription drug abuse, slips and falls, safety in public places, driving safety and summer safety. “First and foremost, I want to remind Illinois residents to have smoke alarms installed and ensure they are in the right places and functioning properly,” said State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis. “It takes all of us to keep our environment safe and to ensure, that in the event of a fire, all family members are prepared to make a safe escape.” Smoke alarms should be tested monthly to ensure they are in proper working order. The public should become familiar with fire safety procedures and know how to act in case of other life threatening emergencies in the work place, in schools, hospitals, day care centers, senior centers and other public facilities. In 2013, Illinois fire departments reported responding to nearly 2 million incidents. Approximately 50,000 of those incidents were fire related, 794,018 involved emergency medical services, and 352,910 were neither fire nor EMS related. The following is a list of basic tips to put into practice on a daily basis: Properly dispose of unused and expired medications and keep them away from children. Get trained in first aid, CPR and AED. Training is available on line, in a classroom or contact your local fire department to find locations in the community. Don’t text and drive and do not talk on a cell phone while driving. Obey state traffic laws includ-

ing stop signs and speed limits, especially in school and work zones. Wear seat belts and keep small children properly secured in car seats. The following is a list of tips to prevent falls or personal injuries: n Secure electrical and phone cords out of walking areas. n Remove small throw rugs or use non-skid mats to keep from slipping. n Remove tripping hazards (paper, boxes, toys, clothes, shoes) from stairs and walkways. n Periodically check the condition of walkways and steps, and repair damages immediately. n Never stand on a chair, table or other surface on wheels. n Clean up all spills immediately. OSFM recommends the following tips for fire prevention: n Install smoke alarms on each floor of your home and within 15 feet of sleeping quarters. Regularly check batteries and test your alarms. n Compile a home safety kit (emergency preparedness kit) for your family. Include things like flashlights with extra batteries, blankets, food, water and a battery-powered weather radio. Keep the kit in an easily-accessible place, so you can quickly grab it in case of an emergency. n Make a plan in case of an emergency (like a fire, tornado or earthquake). For fires, have an escape plan. In case of inclement weather, make sure everyone knows the safest place in your home to go to. Practice the plans often. n Keep a first aid kit stocked in your home at all times. You never know when an accident can happen. n Know emergency phone numbers, such as the Police, Fire Department and local Poison Control Center. n Keep matches, lighters and burning candles out of the reach of children. n Check on senior citizens who live alone to make sure they are also living in a safe environment.

North Greene Garden Club active in community By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The North Greene Garden Club is very active during the spring and summer seasons in White Hall. Not only are members responsible for Garden Park and the flower pots that adorn Main Street, but they also manage the farmer’s market. Garden Park in White Hall was created by the North Greene Garden Club 10 years ago and every year the club has tried to improve the park in one way or another. Located on the corner of Sherman and Main streets, this year’s addition can easily be seen. It is a raised and walled flowerbed containing several of the park’s rose bushes. The project was completed with the help of the North Greene FFA. “We approached the FFA and asked them if they would like to help us because we like to get the kids involved in things because we think it helps them have a little more respect for the things that we do to beautify our community,” Garden Club President Sue Vinyard said. “Then they are able to take ownership and that is what we want the kids to do.” It became a learning project for the students. “The working part of it for the students was that they had to figure out how much concrete we would have to have and how many bricks

we would have to have to cover this area, so it turned into a math project, too,” Garden Club Secretary Billye Griswold said. The Garden Club announced a major change to this year’s farmer’s market. Instead of being held on Saturday mornings, the market has been moved to Thursday evenings from 4-7 p.m.

“Everyone seemed to think that having it in the evening would work out better so we are going to give it a try,” Vinyard said. “Carrollton has their farmer’s market on Monday evening and they have a pretty good turnout, so we thought we’d try ours on Thursday evening.” The farmer’s market runs June

through August with the first date being this Thursday, June 5. There is no need to preregister for a spot and the cost is $3 to set up. “Just arrive here Thursday evening and there will be a Garden Club member here to take your money,” Vinyard said. “You will need to bring your own tables though as we do not provide those.”

Man found dead near Greenfield By Carmen Ensinger Greene Prairie Press A 68-year-old Greenfield man was found dead Friday night after being reported missing by his wife. Leaman “Lee” Whitehead was found dead on a farm located one mile south of the junction of routes 108 and 267 by friends and neighbors who discovered the body and called the authorities. According to Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen, his depart-

ment received the call around 11:15 p.m. Three officers with the sheriff’s department and a Greenfield officer responded to the scene. “His wife said she had been out of town on a trip and returned home and was unable to find her husband,” McMillen said. “She noticed the farm tractor was also missing and a search was begun for the tractor. They located the tractor which had crashed into a tree, and a short distance from

there they noticed the body of Mr. Whitehead.” Whitehead was pronounced dead at the scene by Greene County Coroner Dean Bishop and foul play is not suspected. An autopsy was conducted and this along with indications from the scene and interviews with witnesses indicate Whitehead was involved in a farm accident, which lead to his death. Both the sheriff and coroner are still investigating.

Is your child always talking about how they are going to create something and get famous? Does your child spend time coming up with ways to improve on existing games, toys, or tasks? If you answered yes to either question then your child should be a part of the “Next Big Thing”. The “Next Big Thing” is a free weeklong workshop where children in grades 5-8 will be able to discover what it takes to develop, make and turn a product concept into a reality. The workshop will be held at University of Illinois Extension in Carrollton, Box 129C Route 67 North, on June 23-27 from 9:30 a.m. to-11:30 a.m. Cost of the workshop is free and registration is available online at http://web.extension. illinois.edu/ccgms or by calling the office at 217-942-6996. The workshop will focus on the youth developing skills they can use at any age, such as: working with team members to create a prototype, creating a business plan, developing a marketing strategy, making a commercial, and encountering and dealing with the unexpected. The workshop is sponsored by the Carrollton Bank and will be free to the first twenty people that register. For further information contact Jennifer Russell, community and economic development educator, at perica@illinois.edu or by calling or coming by the University of Illinois Extension in Carrollton.

Dead bird surveillance and testing for West Nile Virus The Greene County Health Department is asking the public’s help in obtaining dead birds to submit to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to test for the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV). The Health Department will retrieve species of “perching birds” (Passeriformes) in addition to crows, blue jays, robins, cardinals, catbirds, mockingbirds, many species of sparrows, finches, flycatchers, swallows, warblers, wrens and small or medium size hawks or owls for submission to the laboratory for testing (for identification of the above birds visit the IGPH website at http:// www.idph.state.il.us/cnvhealth/ wnvsurveillance.htm or more Illinois information is available in the IDPH Environmental Health website at http://idph.state.il.us/ envhealth/wnv.htm. Since WNV arrived in Illinois at the end of the summer of 2001, dead birds have been important sentinels for early WNV activity. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found counties that record a WNV-positive bird before Aug. 1 were twice as likely to have a human case com-

pared to those that recorded a WNV-positive bird after Aug. 1. Therefore, the dead birds will be accepted for testing beginning May 15 through Oct. 15, 2014. This effort will help detect any early season WNV activity promoted by weather conditions this spring. The Health Department is asking the community to be aware of any birds that: n Have been dead for less than 48 hours n Died singly (birds dying from WNV are usually found singly, scattered over a wide area versus birds that die from other causes - storm mortality, food poisoning, toxicants - usually die in groups or clusters in a small area) n NOT decomposed (strong odor present, dried/deflated eyes, maggots present or bloated with decomposition gases or damaged by scavenging animals). n No obvious cause of death, i.e. crushed, shot or killed by a motor vehicle. Dead birds that do not meet the requirements should be properly disposed of by an adult by burying or double wrapping in plastic bags and disposing properly with-

5 tips for relocating the family

out touching the carcass. Wash hands upon completion. Please keep in mind that the onset of WNV human cases with Illinois exposure has been known to occur as early as May in the past but the virus has also been documented with an onset in July in 2008 and as late as October in 2013 here in Greene County. If the dead bird meets the conditions for testing or if you have any questions, contact the Greene County Health Department for further instructions. Prevention measures to decrease the mosquito population include eliminating all ponding or pooling of stagnant water (includes water high in organic matter such as sewage effluent) and change any collectors of water (such as bird baths, pets’ water bowls or kiddy pools) at least weekly. The growth stage of the mosquito is 10 days from an egg to an adult. The Health Department upon request is able to larvicide areas that cannot be eliminated by drainage or any area where mosquitoes are a nuisance. Please call the Health Department at 217-942-6961 if you know of any areas and descried above.

Employment Opportunity

NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that on May 30, 2014, a certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Greene County, Illinois, setting forth the names and post-office addresses of all the persons owning, conducting and transacting the business known as Palm St. Salon.

Did you know the average person moves 11.4 times in his or her lifetime? So says the most recent information from the U.S. Census Bureau. Various factors prompt people to move, from job opportunities to the desire to be closer to family members to wanting to live in a nicer climate. Moving is seldom an easy task, and is often ranked among the most stressful events in a person's life. The Employee Relocation Council cites it as the third most stressful event in life, following only death and divorce. That stress is only heightened when an entire family is making the move and an adult is starting a new job simultaneously. Despite the potential headaches involved with moving, an estimated 43 million Americans move each year. Those moving are often married couples between the ages of 25 and 44 with one or two children between the ages of 2 and 11. To make the process go more smoothly, consider the following tips. 1. Gradually introduce the concept of moving. Moving is a decision to be discussed with the whole family, even with young children who may not fully understand the process. Kids who are involved in looking at new homes or voicing opinions about which amenities they desire in a new neighborhood will feel empowered and in control. 2. Research potential new neighborhoods carefully. Finding a new residence is not entirely about buying a home that fits the family and its needs. It also is about finding a desirable neighborhood and community. A good school district is an important factor, as is proximity to recreation, local culture and transportation. Drive around a neighborhood during different times of the day to gauge how active it is. Investigating businesses in the area can also help gauge the personality of a given neighborhood. 3. Work with an experienced agent. A real estate agent who is familiar with a variety of communities is a great

asset. A buyer's agent will find homes and negotiate on the part of the buyer, having your best interests in mind. Because the agent will be paid a commission on a portion of the sale price, which doesn't come out of your pocket, it is in the real estate agent's best interest to help you find a home you can call your own. In addition, the agent will handle many of the tasks that may be overwhelming if you were doing them on your own, such as scouring available listings, waiting for inspections or filling out pertinent paperwork. With a real estate agent handling these tasks, families can remove some of the stress from the moving process. 4. Pack children's rooms last. Young children who see favorite items disappearing into bubble wrapping and boxes may start to feel anxious. It's not uncommon for preschoolers to act out or experience nightmares during the moving process. Maintain a sense of normalcy in the home as long as possible. Begin by packing nonessential items, only packing kids' items when your moving date is right around the corner. Let children say good-bye to familiar haunts and even to their old home. 5. Plan a school orientation. Take advantage of any programs schools offer to acclimate kids to their new environment. Kids often leave friends behind when moving to a new home. The faster they get back to a normal routine, the better it will be for them. Schools are where children will make new friends and participate in social occasions, so tour their new schools before the school year begins, and meet with a few residents and current students to learn about special programs that may make a move less stressful for youngsters. Relocating a family can be stressful. But involving kids in the process and anticipating an adjustment period can help families adjust more easily.

Friends of the White Hall Library helping Accident on playground provide that something extra for patrons sends student to hospital By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press White Hall Township Library works on a very limited budget and it is for this reason that the Friends of the Library was created in 2007. “Friends of the Library was created by a bunch of us who really like to read and use the library,” Billye Griswold, a member of the Friends of the Library, said. “Our purpose is to make money for improvements at the library for things they aren’t able to include in their budget.” Money is raised through three events – the Valentine’s Day Chocolate Fest in February, the sale of pies and cookies this past Saturday during the White Hall Stoneware Swap Meet and a book

sale in September. Friends of the Library has raised more than $8,500 over the years and most of this money has been used for technology updates. “We have four public computers available for use at the library and we have been able to help with the upkeep and replacement of those when they become outdated,” Friends of the Library President Jessica Henry said. “We were also able to replace the microfiche machine that is used to do genealogical research.” The library has always held a special fondness for Henry and she doesn’t want it to see the fate of many libraries in smaller communities. “When you live in a small com-

munity, you don’t want to lose anything, especially your library,” she said. “When I was growing up, the library was the central part of your life. When you were a little kid, you went up and got your library card and it was always a safe place you could go and you always wanted to be there.” But in order to stay relevant in the community, the library must keep up with the times. For White Hall this means becoming automated. Instead of taking a card out of the back of a book and signing your name to it, in the very near future, books will be scanned with a hand-held scanner. “We are a member of the Heartland Library System and they will help us become automated

sometime within the next year,” Henry said. “You have to get on a list and we are like 20 down on that list, but they are hiring more people to help them get through the automations faster.” This automation is not going to be cheap and the library budget will most certainly need some more financial support. “There are things the library will need help in purchasing when this automation comes, such as a scanner and a computer,” Henry said. “We might even have to update the electric a little bit to be able to run the machines. It’s going to be a costly project so we want to be there to help because once you lose something in any community, you don’t ever get it back.”

USDA announces funding for Advanced Communications Technology in rural areas Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA is accepting applications for grants to enhance telecommunications and broadcast services in rural areas. “This funding will help small, rural communities across the country gain access to communications technologies to improve health, education and other services,” Vilsack said. “It will help open doors to the global marketplace. It will deliver specialized medical care and educational services. It will ensure that public television stations can fully convert to digital signals and transmit public safety, health, educational and cultural programming in isolated areas.” The funding is available from the Community Connect Grant Program, the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program, and the Public Television Station Digital Transition Grant Program. Through the Community Connect Grant Program, USDA plans to provide up to $13 million to fund broadband in unserved areas to support economic growth and deliver enhanced educational, health care and public safety services. Awardees

must serve an area where broadband does not exist, provide a community center with broadband access, and offer broadband service to all residential and business customers. Details are on page 29405 of today’s Federal Register. USDA has had many successes through this program. Since it was created in 2003, USDA has approved more than $142 million in more than 240 Community Connect projects to bring broadband service to rural communities that lacked it. For example, Rural Development awarded @Link Services, LLC a $544,164 Community Connect Grant to provide broadband services to Lima, Okla. Many institutions there have benefited, including the new volunteer fire department, the K-12 school, and the new community center. Also in a notice in today’s Federal Register, USDA is making available up to $19.3 million in Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) program grants to fund access to rural education, training and health care resources. The DLT program finances telecommunications-enabled equipment and advanced technolo-

gies for people who live and work in rural areas. Since 2009, USDA has invested almost $150 million in the program. These investments complement other USDA efforts to improve rural communications. Details of Distance Learning funding being made available today are on page 29399 of the Federal Register. In the Public Television Station Digital Transition Grant Program, USDA will provide up to $2 million as part of the Department’s continued support of rural telecommunications and broadcast services. Funds can be used to acquire, lease or install equipment or software to complete the transition to digital broadcast signals. While rural stations broadcast their main transmitter signal digitally, many also have translators serving small communities or isolated areas, and these still need to transition from analog to digital. Some rural areas also need fill-in translators, in cases when the signal reception from a main transmitter is lost. These Public Television grants will support those stations to ensure all rural households and business-

es receive public television station transmissions. Details are on page 29409 of the Federal Register. USDA will offer special consideration to Community Connect and Distance Learning and Telemedicine applications that contain at least one end-user site within a trust area or a Tribal jurisdictional area. President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America’s economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A North Greene kindergarten student was treated and released after a fall on the playground on the morning of May 28. According to Superintendent Les Stevens, the girl, whose name has not been released, was playing with a ball on the playground and

when she went to kick the ball she missed the ball and fell backward, hitting her head on the pavement. “First responders were called after the school nurse became concerned about concussion-like symptoms,” Stevens said. “The girl was airlifted to St. Louis Children’s Hospital where she was treated and released that same day.”

Eldred Baptist Church news As reported by Mary Eustace Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor Our church services this beautiful Sunday morning of June 1st began truly demonstrating that GOD is Love. 1 John 4:16. Our service was filled with the Holy Spirit. We were led to pray for one of our members with “hands on” heartfelt prayers for her recent diagnosis, by the whole congregation. We received the Lord’s Supper with all praises to Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Our message was on Matthew 28: 16-20. This is the “go and make disciples” passage. This is part two of this message. The Great Omission as titled by our Pastor Don. The Proclamation is that Jesus has all authority to make this command. The What is – to make disci-

ples. Our job is to spread the Word of GOD. The Who is to spread the Word to everyone. Start at home, stretch to your neighbors and your community. Be a beacon to everyone around your world. Let your light shine and live a life that others can model. Matthew 7: 21-23 tells you how to make disciples. First you must BE a disciple before you can make disciples. We have the promise that God is always with us and that HE will never fail us. At the end of our service we were blessed with the music of the Reif family (Tim, Bob, Rodney & Greg). Their music is always appreciated and fills the church with many blessings as they sing. Our church congregation also voted on unanimously to hire Don Carpenter for our full time Pastor.

We at Eldred Baptist Church are so blessed to have Don and his wife Angie, children Faith & Cole to be a very special part of this community. Praise the Lord! Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 am. If you are interested, please call Thea Adcock at (217) 983-2724. Our Sunday services include Sunday school at 9 am for adults and children’s classes and regular services at 10 am. Our services are always open, please come and join us. If you need spiritual service or counsel, please don’t hesitate to contact our church. You may reach Pastor Don at (618) 751-0007. You may also reach Pastor Don at doncarp@hotmail.com.

Walkerville Baptist Church news The weather is a repeat of each day, over and over. Some got rain and some didn’t, but we will when the time if right, which may be this week. It sure was hot nearly all week. Sunday was 88 degrees. Our number was down, but those that were there sure enjoyed a good message. John 16: 3 We pray for those who are not there because they really have missed a blessing. The question was answered, even if it was written down because of the words. Good going! Everyone had the answers. The question was “What were the names of the six that committed suicide in the Bible? Answers: Samson - Judges 16; Saul - 1 Samuel 31; Saul Armor Bearer - Sam. 31; Ahithopel - 2 Sam. 17; Zimri - 1Kings 16; Judas - Matt. 27. This week’s question is “What is the punishment for disobedient children in the Bible?” Look in Duet. 21. If you have a question,

please let us know and we will find an answer for you. Our prayer list: Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, Robert Lawson, Brenda Early, Rhonda Lawson, Ed Crabtree and all that was not there. The church needs you and you need the church. There is nothing more precious than having a church family. One that you know is praying for you and is always there for you in times of need. Pray; don’t give God instructions, just report for duty. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us. How can God help us when we leave him out of our lives and can’t even give him one hour on Sunday? Don’t put a question mark where God put a period. A cheerful heart is good medicine. Proverbs 17. The wise are promoted to honor but fools are promoted to shame. Proverbs 3: 35. Don’t be a

Fear Not!

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

What is the root of all evil? Some say selfishness, and Saint Paul said it was the love of money, but perhaps it is really just fear, since fear is at bottom the unwillingness or inability to trust God. While we should be a bit dubious about reducing everything, especially something as complicated as sin or evil, to one simple thing, the more we reflect on this the more we see that fear does indeed reside at the basis of many sins. Consider how greed (or the love of money) derives from a fear that our future will be destitute and that money will somehow guarantee our security. Negative emotions like jealousy and envy are often borne of the fear that we will lose our loved ones to more attractive or talented rivals. Anger is quite often just fear that has turned outward: the startled response to a slammed door is quickly replaced by anger directed at the door slammer. But, perhaps this is as it should be: anger and fear are appropriate at the right time and place, and when tempered by reason and mercy. Perhaps no one thing is the root of all evil and perhaps there are many roots of many evils. Greed is one thing, while fear and anger are another, or to quote Joseph Butler, "everything is what it is and not another thing." - Christopher Simon

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD ROUNDUP

Leonard, Ross tie for sixth at state

Douglas Cottle/PhotoNews

Carrollton High School junior Cody Leonard clears the high jump bar during the IHSA Class 1A state finals Saturday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Leonard and North Greene's Logan Ross tied for sixth place in the 12-man state finals by successfully clearing 6 feet, 5 inches.

After pushing each other to new heights at a collection of meets throughout the spring, Carrollton High School's Cody Leonard and North Greene's Logan Ross faced off in the high jump for the final time this season at the IHSA Class 1A state finals Saturday at O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. The duo — each their respective school's record holder in the event — finished in a tie for sixth place after each topped out at 6 feet, 5 inches, Saturday in Charleston.

Leonard and Ross each cleared 6 feet, 3 inches, in preliminary round competition Thursday to advance to Saturday's 12-man finals from an original field of 17 jumpers. The Class 1A state championship in the event was won at a height of 6 feet, 9 inches, by Downs Tri-Valley's Derek Wegman. Ross also competed in the 400-meter dash at the Class 1A state championship meet. He placed fourth in his heat with a

time of 51.65 seconds, but the ninth and final qualifying spot for the finals was claimed with a 50.71-second effort. Carrollton sophomore Tyler Frye finished the 3,200-meter run in 10:40.75, good for a 24th-place finish in the state Saturday at O'Brien Stadium. North Greene junior Andrew Davis went 40 feet, 4.25 inches, during Thursday's preliminaries in the triple jump; the last qualifying distance for Saturday's finals was 41 feet, 8.25 inches.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

County Spartans bow out after best season ever Greene scores, results A 5-2 win against Lebanon in the semifinals of the Carlinville Class 1A Sectional Thursday at Blackburn College ensured the North Greene High School baseball team its greatest season ever. It was the first win ever for the Spartans program at a sectional tournament and gave the team its school-record 23rd victory of the season. North Greene took the lead with a three-run fourth inning that included runs batted in by Kolten Heberling and Michael Williams. Williams came home to score when Lebanon comitted an error trying to pick off Zach Reisch stealing second base. Reed Rusten pitched six innings to earn the win by giving up just four hits and two runs with seven strikeouts and three walks before Adam Knox got the save. Lebanon got to within 3-2 in the top of the sixth inning, but North

Greene added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the frame off RBI singles by Connor Vincent and Williams. "I'm real glad for the boys," North Greene head coach Jim Roesch said. "We've had a couple teams get to the sectionals before and we lost to the state champions one year and then back in [2003] we lost to a team that went to state." Although they made it to the sectional championship game this time, the Spartans ran into another team bound for the state tournament. New Athens won the Carlinville Sectional in an 8-1 decision Saturday and has since qualified for the Class 1A state tournament by beating Griggsville-Perry 8-2 Monday at the Springfield Super-Sectional. The Spartans bowed out of the 2014 postseason with a 23-10 overall record.
