Gubernatorial candidate speaks in Greenfield By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Saturday morning, gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey made a stop in Greenfield where he spoke to a welcoming audience in Veteran’s Park, introducing himself, his ideals and his plans to turn around the State of Illinois if elected as the next governor. Bailey was invited to speak in Greenfield by Kenny Albrecht and Dan Armold back in May. “We heard about him on the internet, read up on what he stood for and agreed with him and asked if he would come to Greenfield,” Albrecht said. “He said he would, so we have been advertising the event and are very pleased with the turnout.” Bailey is not your typical politician – in fact – far from it. He is a lifelong farmer, born and raised in the rural farming community of Lewistown, population 2,316 where he graduated from North Clay High School and later Lake Land College. He is a proud third generation farmer growing up on the Bailey Family Farm which he and his family continues

to operate. Not only do they support their own families, but they also support 15 other families with the farming operation. He prides himself for being grounded in the conservative values of hard work, individual liberty and social responsibility; precious freedoms which he knows are threatened everyday by big government and powerful career politicians. In 2016, Darren and his wife, Cindy, along with running the family farm, founded Full Armor Christian Academy, a preschool through grade 12 school that gives parents the option of a Christcentered education for their children. Education is very important to Bailey. He served 17 years on the North Clay Unit 25 Board of Education in Louisville, 12 of those years as President of the Board. Not long after opening their Christian Academy, things would change for the Bailey family and they would rely on their faith to lead them in the right direction. “We woke up one day and looked at Facebook and I saw that Illinois is getting ready to pass this budget and there is a

pretty hefty tax increase coming and there are no reforms and I’m like this is a little frustrating because the 15 families that work for us on the farm – they can’t afford this,” Bailey said. “So, I started talking with our State Representative and Senator and unfortunately those two gentlemen went ahead and supported the process and I began to share what I had learned and it began to exponentially grow and people became frustrated and started to realize why Illinois is in such trouble.” Those who were reading what Bailey had shared about what was happening in Illinois started urging him to do something about it. “A short time after that, people began to solicit us to run for office and serve,” he said. “They said you got these wonderful ideas and you are educating us, but at the time that was the furthest thing from our minds. At the time I would rather sit back and complain, because that is easier, right. Easier than delving into this political process.” It was his wife, Cindy, who convinced him to listen to the people.

Darren Bailey, candidate for Governor of the State of Illinois, spoke in Greenfield Saturday morning in Veteran’s Park on the Square. Bailey discussed several issues before taking questions from the audience and then meeting his constituents individually.

Carrollton receives bike path grant Black Homestead By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Grant money just keeps rolling into the city of Carrollton. The city recently learned that their application for an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) grant for construction of a bike/pedestrian path had been approved. The grant is to construct a one-mile, 10-foot-wide asphalt path along the defunct railroad line which will connect the city’s three parks. The path will begin at Fry Park, connect to the South Diamond across from the funeral home, continue across Rt. 67, loop around, cross over Rt. 108 and end at the West Ball Park. The path will be ADA accessible and have ADA parking along the route. The grant was made possible by federal and state funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation and is focused on improving bike and pedestrian travel as well as making other surface transportation improvements that promote alternative options for getting around in the community. The total amount of the grant award is $465,536 and is an 80/20 grant which means the state will provide 80 percent of the funding and the city 20 percent of the

funding. City Engineers Benton and Associates were in charge of submitting the grant application and Jaime Headen, with Benton and Associates, said while he didn’t have the exact numbers in front of him at the time, he thought the city submitted a grant application in the amount of around $413,000 with the city’s 20 percent portion coming out to around $102,000. So, if the grant application asked for $413,000 for the project, why was the city awarded $465,536? Headen explained the extra funds. “It turns out that the Illinois Department of Transportation ended up awarding some communities portions of their local match as well as their grant funding,” Headen said. “So in Carrollton’s case, they got 50 percent of their local match taken care of by IDOT and that is why they received the $465,000 instead of the $413, which is great.” There were 270 applications received for projects worth an estimated $293 million for the current cycle. Of these 270 applications, 99 projects were chosen at a total cost of $105.9 million. The closest projects to receive funding were in Edwardsville and Alton. The project in Alton was Phase 4 of the Safe Routes to School funded at $1,300,000.

The State provided 100 percent funding assistance on their 20 percent matching funds. The Edwardsville project is an IL 157 Shared Use Path funded at a cost of $823,500. They received 50 percent of their local funding match. Carrollton considered applying for this grant back in 2017, but the council decided against applying for it, mostly due to the city having to come up with the 20 percent match. A different council and different circumstances last September found the council more receptive to the idea. Benton and Associates engineer representative Bill Sleeman said the State had put a lot more money into the program for this round of funding. “Back in 2017, there was $35 million in the kitty and for this round of funding there is a total of $105 million,” Sleeman said back in September. “Therefore, your chances are three times better than they were the last time.” Why was there more money available? According to Sleeman, it was because Gov. Pritzker has put more money into transportation in the last couple of years which is where the money is coming out of. (See, BIKE PATH, A3)

Hometown Pride Award

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

The Hometown Award for July goes to the Hamel Family who lives on Maple Street, behind LaCross Lumber, just of Rt. 67. Last year, Justin and Clara Hamel, owners of Hamel Chiropractic, on the Carrollton Square, purchased the home from the estate of Mary Harland. The home was passed down to Harland from her father, John J. Eldred, son of Jeduthan B. Eldred, the founder of Carrollton Bank, who purchased the home around 1917. The home was built around 1900. For the most part, the home had been unlived in since 1978 when Harland moved. However, as a member of the Board of Directors of Carrollton Bank, she would stay at the home when in Carrollton for meetings. The interior of the home contains the original woodwork, in pristine condition and other than updating the kitchen, which was a throwback to the 1950’s, the Hamel’s say they did very little updating to the interior, other than add central heating and air to the bottom floor with plans to add it to the upstairs in the future.

Farm designated as Bicentennial Farm

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

here were many brave families who came to this area and helped found Greene County in 1821. They braved the elements, the uncertainty of life in a strange area and they built homes, farmed the land, raised their families and passed the land down from generation to generation. There are but a handful of those farms who have remained in the family down through the generations. While there are several which have been given the designation as a Centennial Farm, for remaining in the family for 100 years, very few can lay claim to being a Bicentennial Farm – until now. On June 8, the Illinois Department of Agriculture designated the Black Homestead Farm in Carrollton as a Bicentennial Farm. To qualify as a Bicentennial Farm, a straight or collateral line of descendants must own the agricultural property for at least 200 years. The family received this historical distinction to their farm after their application for designation as a Bicentennial Farm was approved. “I am privileged to present this distinction to this amazing family,” Agriculture Acting Secretary Jerry Costello II said. “This designation not only honors their farm operation today, but also their ancestors who labored through adversity to maintain the family farm. The Bicentennial Farm program helps to reinforce that family farming remains a viable entity in Illinois agriculture.” The Black Homestead Farm is located two miles west of Carrollton and is currently owned by Steve Black of Phoenix, Ariz., Elizabeth Satterfield of Sedona, Ariz. and Nancy Shriner of Pottsboro, Texas, who are part of the fifth and sixth generations since in the establishment of the farm in 1821 by Margaret Hobson Black. Steve Black is a member of the Board of Directors of the Greene County Historical Society and makes regular trips back to the old homestead, which is currently occupied by a renter who has been in the home for more than 20 years. “Margaret Hobson Black was my great-great grandmother and the original owner of the land,” Black said. “She came here from England with her five children and two brothers and purchased the land at the Government Land Office in Edwardsville in Jan. 1821 and built the home in 1823. It has been passed down through the generations.” Margaret Black signed a contract for brickwork on her new home with William Reay on April 19, 1923. The contract called for a price of $6.50 per 1,000. The exterior walls of the house are solid brick (three bricks thick) on a native rock foundation. This was long before factories were built for making bricks so the contractor had to make the bricks onsite. This price included the cutting of the wood, digging and firing the clay, burning the lime and laying the brick. William Scott was contracted to do the wood work. The total bill for the brickwork was $3,000. Even with the walls as yet unplastered, Margaret Black and her four surviving children David, William, Thomas and Elizabeth moved into their new home in December of 1823. Among the possessions that were placed in the home were two pieces of furniture, a blanket chest and a sugar chest, that were brought from England during the original journey in 1822. Both pieces remain in the house today. (See, HOMESTEAD, A3)

Candidate (Continued from A1) “Thank goodness I have a godly wife and a wonderful church family because we turned it over to a 10 day time of prayer and fasting,” Bailey said. “During that time, I just wanted to find somebody else, not me, and I knew God was telling me that it is okay, you don’t have to do it. I got this journey for you, but I’ll find somebody else if you want to go out the back door. So, again, having that Godly wife there to continually remind me, ‘Darren, this is what we need to do’, we embarked on this journey.” The journey began in the House of Representatives for the 109th District. “I refused the pension, I refused the insurance and I term limited myself to just 10 years in that position,” Bailey said. “Then, after just one year into my term as State Representative, my Senator came to me and announced he was not going to be running for another term next year. Again, I did not consider running for Senate so I started calling around and soliciting people who might be interested in running and two weeks later when his announcement became public, people that knew us in our area kind of came to us and urged us to run to expand our territory.” Bailey talked with his family and decided to embark on this journey of running for the Senate. “In my mind I said it was all okay, I’ll serve 10 years as a senator and I’ll go back to the farm, but then things kind of began to change and take a definite direction for us in Illinois,” he said. “We have this Governor, who I call a tyrant. We have seen this before, haven’t we? We tried to shrug this off about 250 years ago. This government that we live in – our country is a government of the people, by the people and for the people’ and I’m not seeing very much of the process of the people being involved in our government

right now.” Bailey said he has fought the political machine during the three years he has been in office. “I have stood up continually against the nonsense, many times as one of the only Speakers on the House floor to stand up and speak against some of the nonsense that is being propagated,” he said. “Sometimes, in caucus, when the Republicans go into caucus and we sit there and the question is asked how many people are going to vote for this tax increase because it is going to get passed and we need to cooperate because if we don’t then our districts won’t get anything. That is the mindset, friends. And that is what has to change.” The time has come to stand up and challenge the tradition. “Sometimes, I will stand up and challenge the system that you think that we have to compromise, but has your district ever heard of a solid conservative message?” Bailey said. “Has the line in the sand ever been drawn to give people hope that we can change this stuff? So, God’s just opened doors for us and just being a farmer, being a loving family, we said, this is not right and that is why a little over a year ago we filed suit against JB Pritzker and we won that lawsuit.” Bailey said nothing has changed in winning the lawsuit – it hasn’t been overturned nor has it been dismissed. The Governor continues to say that the lawsuit is just for Clay County or just for Bailey’s district, none of which Bailey says is true. “But anyway, life has continued and we see where we are at – now we have a president who is just as dangerous,” Bailey said. “Friends, listen, it is time that we take a stand. It is time that you get involved with your community. It is not about me coming here – it is about you doing what you need to do with these

God given freedoms that we have, and standing up against the people that you have elected and telling them that if something is going haywire that enough is enough and that is a hard thing to do.” Bailey used the schools as an example. “We are asking school boards across the state to agree that next year schools are going to be mask optional,” Bailey said. “This means that if you want the vaccine, that is okay or if you don’t want a vaccine that is okay. If you want to wear a mask to school wear a mask, that’s okay, but we are free people and you cannot tell us what to do. That doesn’t work very well in this nation.” Bailey knows not everyone can run for the Senate or other major government offices, but there are offices they can run for at a local level where they can make a difference, such as city council, county board, school boards and even library boards. “People laugh a lot about the library board saying they don’t want to serve on that board because it is boring,” he said. “Well, next time you are in a larger city, walk into a library and see what books are on some of the front tables for unattended young children to see. Get a schedule of events because many times our libraries are hosting drag queen events where they let some of these twisted people come in and read to our small children.” Bailey said that there is no reason to create a new system – just use the one created by our founding fathers. “The Constitutional Republic - I stand amazed when I sit back and think about how our Founding Fathers put this all together,” he said. “It is perfect, friends, it is just perfect. We have just to participate and hold the system accountable and that is what I ask you to do and that is what I hope you will do by getting involved.”

The UFO Report Gets a Closer Look By BILL HOAGLAND The long-awaited Pentagon report on UFOs was made available to the public late Friday, June 25. As widely predicted, this report basically states that while recent UFO sightings cannot be explained, the US Government is not willing to acknowledge that they might have an extraterrestrial origin. This report was disappointing to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. So I thought before I got too critical, I probably ought to read the nine page report in its entirety, which I have now done. Obviously, I did not have access to the classified portion of the report, but we can probably figure out what it says as well. To summarize the report, it states that there are 143 UFO sightings that cannot be explained. In getting to that point, the report states that these mystery sightings do not relate to US military weapons nor are they thought to be something that the Russians, Chinese or other adversaries have secretly developed; the technology appears to be too far advanced for any of us. The report concludes with the statement that despite the fact that the US, Russia, China and other adversaries do not appear to be responsible for these UFOs, there is no evidence that these sightings are extraterrestrial. Who do they think it is—Steven Spielberg with a new movie trailer? If you are as disappointed as I was

at first, it does help to take a closer look at that report. The purpose of requiring the report in the first place was to determine whether these recent UFO sightings represent a threat to the security of the United States. It was not to determine whether the government has possession of alien bodies, crash debris from a spaceship or some other tangible evidence of an extraterrestrial presence. In other words, the government was asked to reveal only information regarding “aerial” activities and by definition, that would seem to exclude non-aerial objects (such as alien bodies, spacecraft debris and so on). The report further clarifies that it is providing information only for aerial observations between 2004 and March 2021 and only those observations during that time frame by military personnel that were recorded and reported “up the flagpole ‘’. That means the report did not consider many more observations during that time frame by military personnel who decided not to report it up the flagpole out of fear of ridicule or reprisals. In fact, in 2019 the Pentagon decided that it needed to decree that UFOs be henceforth referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) for the express purpose of encouraging military personnel to report these sightings without being labeled as a “looney-tunes”. So it has only been in

the last two years that we are assured that the military is getting full UFO reports from its personnel. Before 2019, the reporting was sporadic.Then we have all the sightings that occurred before 2004 that are not considered at all in this report. Those sightings even go back to WWII, when during a bombing raid over Berlin, American pilots encountered a string of UFOs overhead. (Obviously, they were not German because they did not attack the bombers.) In 1952, the US Air Force began keeping track of UFO sightings by listing them in a so-called “Project Blue Book”, which listed 12,618 sightings, including 701 unexplained sightings between 1952 and 1969; the project was discontinued in December 1969. None of these sightings are considered in the 2021 report. In short, we have a lot more than just 143 unexplained sightings. With respect to the 2021 disclosures, the Office of National Intelligence states that they need to continue to analyze the videos that they do have because they cannot determine how or why these UFOs are able to function the way that they do. In other words, we will

Carrollton, Illinois

probably be receiving additional analyses on what was disclosed on June 25. A portion of the report submitted to Congress was classified. My guess is that the classified part discusses what we currently know about Russian and Chinese technology and why we don’t think they have the technical ability to create what we are seeing with regard to these UFOs. The June 25 report is disappointing to the extent it does not allow for any possibility that these sightings may relate to extraterrestrial sources but truth is, this report barely scratches the surface. The good news is that it may encourage more military and non-military observers to come forward and help get this mystery solved, which we need to do; these sightings are real and not going away. ––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Homestead (Continued from A1) Black said getting the farm designated a Bicentennial Farm wasn’t difficult at all. “It wasn’t very difficult because over the years, it had been designated as a Centennial Farm and a Sesquicentennial Farm,” he said. “It was really just a matter of updating the paperwork and showing continuous family ownership.”

In addition to the above recognition, the home, which is the oldest surviving home in Greene County, was placed on the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP) in 2005. The NRHP is the federal government’s official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical signifi-

cance. The Illinois Bicentennial Farms program has recognized nine farms in Illinois since its inception. Owners receive an outdoor display sign and a certificate signed by the Governor and Director of Agriculture. They are also recognized at “Agriculture Day” at the Illinois State Fair.

To cover their projected 20 percent match, which would be

around $102,000, the city applied for a USDA grant, which would cover the city’s entire 20 percent match. “That grant is still pending,” Headen said. “But we are hoping to hear something by mid to late July on whether the city is approved for that grant.” Carrollton Mayor Mike

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” James 2:10 NIV

aints and sages are exemplary because they have attained a level of perfection which few mortals ever reach. And despite the impossibility, the great teachers have generally told us to be perfect. Consider the words of Jesus: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48 NIV) Saints and sages often ask us to live in a way that is almost impossible: to love one’s enemies (Christianity); to extinguish greed, aversion, and delusion (Buddhism); and to always act virtuously (Stoicism and various other philosophies). Ironically, the closer one gets to these ideals, the more one demands this only of oneself and

never of others. The perfect person expects others to fail, and knows that he or she will occasionally fail, if only in thought and not necessarily in word or deed. The more perfect we become, the gentler we should be with those who are imperfect, including ourselves in our moments of imperfection. Seek perfection, striving to become a saint and a sage, but have patience, as this is a project for a long and blessed life. –Christopher Simon

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Carrollton, Illinois

Carrollton Council approves expanding police evidence room By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton Police Department is using the same evidence room it used when the city hall was built in the 1970’s – a very small 8x12 room that no longer serves the needs of the department. Carrollton Police Chief Mike McCartney, at the July 9 City Council meeting, asked the council to approved updating the police and evidence room located in the back of City Hall. McCartney explained the need for the updates. “The room we have now is simply way too small for our needs,” McCartney said. “The laws have changed as far as how your evidence is packaged and taken care of before it goes to the crime lab. You are supposed to have a locker for each officer to store their evidence in with only them and myself having a key to the locker.” The plan is to knock out a wall in the current evidence room which will make it five times larger. This will make it large enough to install an evidence table plus the individual lockers for each officer. He also plans to build a gun station to store the weapons. “I also want to build a 12’ by 14’ addition onto that room for the officers,” McCartney said. “We would do the work ourselves and make a hall-

way on the backside and make the roof solid where we can store all of our records.” McCartney said he had an estimate on materials and it will cost around $7,000 to do the needed work and construction. The council approved his request for to $7,000 to purchase materials which he said he had in the police fund. Still under police business, the council approved paying the City of White Hall $1,165.34 for equipment for newly hired police officer Jerritt Smith, which the city hired away from White Hall last month. The equipment purchased from White Hall included the bullet-proof vest ordered for Smith while working as an officer for White Hall. McCartney explained why he wanted to purchase the equipment rather than buy new. “I talked with Chief Luke Coultas up there and I told him, unless you find another officer the same size as Jerritt, you are going to have a vest you can’t use, so, with the council’s approval, I would like to buy that vest for him to use with us,” McCartney said. “My reasoning in doing so is that it takes about three months to get fitted for and get the vest made. This way it is a win-win for everyone.” The council agreed and approved the payment to White Hall. Newly appointed City

Treasurer Diane Hendricks had a strange request of the council. She asked for the removal of the reimbursement for her personal cell phone. “Diane came to me and Larry (Alderman Gillingham) and said she would like that removed,” Mayor Mike Snyder said. “She said she would not be using her cell phone to conduct city business so she doesn’t feel she should be taking the money for it and I think that is a good thing.” Alderman Tim Reif asked why the City Treasurer was even getting reimbursed in the first place. It was explained that in the ordinance it read that department heads would

get reimbursed for their cell phones. Discussion was held about moving the night of the workshop meetings. Mayor Snyder initiated the workshop meetings after taking office in May since he had three new alderpersons on the council. Council meetings are held on Thursday night and workshop meetings in the past were always held on Tuesday night. However, there is a major conflict – Tuesday night is the Queen of Hearts drawing in Eldred. Therefore, it was decided, if there was a need for a workshop meeting, that they would be held on the fourth Thursday of the month.

Historical Society delves into the weird By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press This Sunday’s Greene County Historical Society program will delve into what they are referring to as “miscellaneous weirdness”. The program will be held at 2 p.m. at the Carrollton United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall and all are welcome. The program is being presented by Carrollton Librarian Angie Custer. “Call them strange, odd, unusual, or just plain weird, but people have gotten involved in different things that get reported in some form of the public news media over the years,” Custer said. “Such things now may be similar to things occurring a century or

more ago, but they way they are reported have changed greatly.” Custer has researched “weird” things from bygone days, noting significant differences in the way these things are reported. The brutal facts, once front page fodder, are now handled more diplomatically in order to keep discussions politically correct. She will discuss some of those differences following the regular meeting and election of officers of the Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society. The Fellowship Hall is located behind the church, which is located at the intersection of Maple Street and Rt. 67 in Carrollton. There is no charge for attending the program.
