By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The tiny hummingbird has been the study of ornithologists for decades, but they are also a very popular bird in the backyards of homeowners.

Fill a brightly colored bird feeder with sugar water, and the little things come swooping in and bring a lot of their friends.

Marty and Laura Overbey have been hosts to hummingbird banding sessions at their Carrollton home for the past eight years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most recent session being on July 3.

Vern Kleen and his wife, Betty, members of the Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders of Springfield, came to the Overbey home to set up a trap to get the birds and then band them.

Vern Kleen is an expert in the art of bird banding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been doing this for the past 20 years and over that time, I have banded more than 44,000 hummingbirds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a private, not-for-profit organization that does a variety of different things, one of which is hummingbird banding, either at private homes, like this one or at festivals.â&#x20AC;?

Laura Overbey has a variety of birds show up at their home on Michelle Lane, but hummingbirds are what she hopes to attract most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved birds, and that was kind of a common thing when Marty and I met in 2013,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have out 15 feeders full of sugar water and have planted flowers like verbena, hollyhock and bee balm, which is also known to attract them.â&#x20AC;?

There are approximately 340 known species of hummingbirds. Of these, only 25 have been seen in the United States and only one, the ruby-throated, is regularly found in eastern North America. Most of the species occur in the warmer climate of South America with Ecuador being the hummingbird capital of the world, boasting more than 160 different species.

Marty Overbey reaches inside the wire cage to retrieve the hummingbird that has flown inside. Overbey then transferred the delicate bird to a cloth bag, and it was taken over to be banded.

cies of Illinois hummingbird means that the Overbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go through an enormous amount of sugar to make their food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We buy the sugar year round so we will have enough on hand to keep the feeders filled,â&#x20AC;? Overbey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, we have to refill up to six of them in one day after filling them that morning.â&#x20AC;?

Kleen said because hummingbirds have such high-energy lifestyles, they consume food at an enormous rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their hearts beat about 1,200 times per minute, and an average-sized hummingbird, at rest, consumes energy at a rate of 10 times that of a mourning dove,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If humans were required to consume food in the same proportion as hummingbirds, they would have to eat 250 or more quarter pound hamburgers every day.â&#x20AC;?

The hummingbird has a number of unique characteristics compared to other birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of their unique wing structure, they are the only species that can hover and fly backwards in still air,â&#x20AC;?

Kleen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can beat their wings up to 100 times per second and have an average flight speed of 25-30 miles per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, during aerial courtship (See, HUMMINGBIRD, A2)

Dairy Bar gets a facelift, retains old-fashioned vibe

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press f the COVID-19 pandemic has been good for anything, it has been a great opportunity for businesses to do renovations. The down time provided the perfect opportunity to do updates to local businesses.

The Dairy Bar has used the time to install all new sliding windows in the front and side, and now, they are in the process of tuckpointing and painting the outside of the building. The business is owned by Kenny and Shaana Gray of Carrollton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been aware that the building needed tuckpointing really bad for several years now,â&#x20AC;? Shaana Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, while we were closed for the pandemic, we started getting bids, and while people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come in to dine, we figured it would be a good time to get started on it.â&#x20AC;?

The Dairy Bar is the oldest restaurant in Carrollton, established in 1953 by the Bazardi family.

One might say the Dairy Bar has been a work in progress since the Grays purchased it.

In 1956, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Butler bought the building and the business and operated it until 1978, when they sold it to Walter and Phyllis Wallace. In 2009, Shannon and Vicky Maag and Scott and Sheila Maguire purchased the building. The Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchased the business in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the goals when we first bought the Dairy Bar was to update the inside,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The previous owners had put indoor seating in the middle section of the building, and when we bought it, we wanted to finish the back room, which had just been used for storage, and make it into a dining area as well.â&#x20AC;?

The Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gutted the back and remodeled it, almost tripling the indoor dining area for its customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remodeling the back also opened up the ability for people to rent that back space for parties or showers,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very big, but it will seat 25 to 30 people for a more intimate gathering experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also easy to find because it is right on the square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The area can be closed off, and it has its own entrance so the guests donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to come through the front part.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned into a really nice private party room.â&#x20AC;?

With the inside of the building almost completely renovated, it was time to start on the outside.

I

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building was painted completely white in the 1950s, and I think that was the last time it was painted,â&#x20AC;?

Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years, the paint has worn off, and there are two or three different kinds of brick on the side of the building that would look much better with a new coat of paint.â&#x20AC;?

Rumor has it, those three different types of brick are because of a vehicle crashing through the side of the building.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much cool history to this place, which is why I try to do it justice by keeping it old fashioned and family friendly.â&#x20AC;?

Shaana Gray Dairy Bar owner â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if that story is true or not, but if you look closely at the side of the building, there are different types of bricks in different areas,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been pieced and patched. We realized the only way to make the whole thing cohesive and look nice was to paint it, but before we did that, we needed to have it tuckpointed so hopefully it will last another 150 years.â&#x20AC;?

Exterior renovations to other buildings on that side of the square was also an impetus to take the plunge and remodel the outside. It is also going to add to the life of the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This building is over 150 years old, and we felt doing the exterior will be beneficial for the building to take care of it and protect it better,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also going to make the square look nicer since this is the first building you see when you come into town from the south. It has bugged me for a long time that it looks the way it does, but we just had to do one project at a time.â&#x20AC;?

Mark Babor of Kane was hired to do the tuckpointing and painting. While the tuckpointing is done, the humidity has prevented the start of the painting.

When it came to selecting a color for the outside, Gray said that she has a rather unique way of selecting

colors when it comes to painting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really bad about liking colors based on their name, but this time I picked the color before I saw the name, and when I saw the name it just solidified for me that it was the right color,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The color I picked is like a brick red, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Cherry Cola. Since it is a brick building, I decided to just do the brick red color after I saw a picture of a general store that was done in that color. Plus, I wanted something that kind of flows into the inside and our Coca Cola theme on the inside.â&#x20AC;?

Down the road, Gray noted she would like to paint a mural on the side of the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have ideas in my head of what I would like to see on the side, but I want to give myself some time to just really nail down exactly what we want to do muralwise,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since it is the first building you see coming into the square, I want it to be something that welcomes people to town, and I want it to reflect not just the Dairy Bar but the town as well.â&#x20AC;?

Another project that came to fruition during the pandemic was the little outside seating area in the alley (See, FACELIFT, A2)

Greene County gears up for three murder trials

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Unless some powerful negotiations take place within the next couple of weeks, Greene County Circuit Court will see the beginning of an unprecedented three murder trials during the month of July.

For the past 20 months, Jamia Ellis has sat in Greene County Jail on three counts of first degree murder in the death of her five-month-old son, who police say was found buried in a garbage bag in a shallow grave on a property on East Cemetery Road in Carrollton. She was also charged with concealing a homicidal

death in the death of the child which was caused by blunt force trauma.

Also arrested on Nov. 29, 2018, in association with the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was Ryan Wheeler, who lived on the family property on East Cemetery Road. Until last week, Wheeler remained in Greene County Jail on a charge of concealing a homicidal death, a Class 3 felony.

However, two additional charges of first degree murder were added to his charges on June 25.

Adam Gowin has been in Greene County Jail since Sept. 11, 2018, when he was charged with six counts of first degree murder in the double homicide of his uncles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ronald Plummer, 55, and

Billy Plummer, 54, in Rockbridge.

Gowin is alleged to have stabbed his two uncles to death in an incident on Sept.

9 in Rockbridge. He was apprehended in Gillespie having reportedly fled the scene after both men were stabbed multiple times. He remains in Greene County Jail on a bond of $2.5 million.

With three prisoners in custody for more than a year and a half, the cost to the county is astronomical.

Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen was asked how much it costs, per day, to house a prisoner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs right at $35 a day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes the cost of the staff to watch over them.â&#x20AC;?

Doing the math, as of Monday, July 6, Adam Gowin has been incarcerated for 664 days. At $35 per day, the county has spent $23,240 to keep him behind bars.

For Ellis and Wheeler, who have both been incarcerated for 585 days, the cost is $20,475 for each of them. This brings the grand total, over the past almost two years of $64,190 for these three individuals.

Gowin has a jury pre-trial set for July 10 with a jury trial scheduled for July 13.

Ellis has a jury pre-trial set for July 9 with a jury trial scheduled for July 13.

Wheeler has a jury pre-trial set for July 8 with a jury trial scheduled for July 13.

It is odd where simple things like fried zucchini takes you Sometimes it gets very difficult to write this column for the simple reason I like to have a theme to it, even though I sometimes veer off in many directions during the course of my ramblings.

This week, although off the beaten path, I want to talk about the little thrills in life; things that are so insignificant to most people but really make a mark in my life.

For example, I had my first batch of fried zucchini Monday night. For two weeks, I have had the craving for my special fried zucchini and even asked on Facebook if anyone had any. I was met with nothing.

So when the Carrollton Farmer’s Market opened on Monday afternoon, I knew where I could get some. My good friends have a huge garden around the Calhoun area and were regulars last year, so I messaged them and told them to put me back at least three big zucchini because I didn’t know when I would make it down there.

They did, and for a mere $2, I got four huge zucchini. It was the white-ish striped kind and, while I’m used to the green ones, they assured me they tasted the same.

Actually, they were better because the seeds were not so big and hard. Most of the time, when a zucchini grows that big, the seeds grow to look like little bullets.

Not the case.

I have a weird way of cooking them.

While most people just dip them in flour and fry them, I use pancake batter. Yes, you read that right – pancake batter. I make it about the same consistency for pancakes, but I add in seasoned salt and sugar, dip them in it and place them in hot oil.

Oh my gosh — they are delicious. I can’t really remember when I started doing

this, but it must have been something my mom taught me. I can never remember ever having fried zucchini growing up, so it might be just something I made up. I never did like to fry stuff in just flour – so messy. Also, half the time you have very little coating left by the time it gets done.

I think the reason fried zucchini is so special to me is that it is a seasonal thing.

It’s not easy to find big zucchini in the winter, so the only time I have it is during the summer. Same way with my strawberry shortcake – only in the summer with fresh strawberries.

With COVID-19 and nothing really to keep me occupied except for work, I actually began planning for my zucchini summer several months ago. You see, I will make fried zucchini three or four times a week for the next month at least – until I become tired of it.

That being said, it takes a lot of pancake mix and oil to make it. About four years ago, I found gallons of corn oil marked down to like $3.79. I bought about four or five of them. Just last night, I finished up the last gallon.

Around five weeks ago, I found Aunt Jemima (maybe I should save the boxes) pancake mix for $1.50. I bought four boxes of it. So, all I really had to buy was a gallon of oil for $5, and I was good to go.

The zucchini I got, at the end, was so big I had to slice the pieces in half to fry them up good, or I could only get three pieces in the pan. I know I said I didn’t like the mess with the plain flour, but pancake batter is just as messy. It inevitably drips when you transfer the zucchini from the bowl to the pan — not to mention the grease that splatters all around. I have ruined

On a side note, after reading a recent column about my mom’s freezer jam, I had a lady give me a jar of it that she had made. She saw me at the store, stopped me and said she had it for me and to come by her house and pick it up.

I did, and it was amazing. Thanks, Kelli.

You made this girl very happy. Sunday morning, I had it on some fresh toast. I had to go out and buy sandwich bread because that is all my mom would buy. She never liked the regular loaves, and to be honest, I don’t either. But, I buy what is usually marked down, and I guess everyone else prefers the sandwich bread too because it is hardly ever in the markdown bin.

In the end, it is the small things in life that actually mean the most – the things you remember from when you were younger.

Funny thing is, 35 or 40 years ago, I would have never dreamed that something as simple as freezer jam or fried zucchini would make such an impression on me.

There are a few other things that I fondly remember, but they can wait for another column.

Carmen Ensinger is a pet-lover and a reporter for Campbell Publications.

Are you obsessed over something? Has something gained your attention in such a way that you have made some drastic changes in order to accommodate that matter?

Deer hunters do this all the time. I was just reliving the past season with a friend.

He was telling me about a place where he hunted that was for bow hunters only. One evening, just before dark, he saw what he called the buck of a lifetime, and it was only 60 yards from his stand. And even though he could not get a shot at it, it caused him to almost ignore all the other bucks that came his way; and there were plenty.

By the time his few days of hunting were over, he had passed up some really big bucks because none of them were the one he had seen just a few days earlier. In the end, the cost was coming home empty-handed, all because he had become obsessed with one prize so valuable that every other prize paled in comparison.

He is not alone in this obsession. I know of other hunters who have marked one particular buck as their goal and have waited for 2 or 3 years in order to get it. And I know of some who waited just as long only to find out their prize was now their neighbor’s trophy.

Some may not understand this obsession. Some do. Everyone ought to.

In recalling these stories, I am reminded of the Biblical

story of the man w h o found a valuable pearl.

T h e author s a y s when he discovered it, he sold everything he owned and bought it.

No diversification; no hedging his investment; no waiting until more favorable times, but selling it all – pushing it all in for this one pearl of great price.

What was the Lord comparing this most valuable pearl to?

The kingdom of heaven. What is the kingdom of Heaven?

Let’s just say it is the totality of God in our lives now and the greatness of Heaven in the future. What the Lord desires is this; that there would come a time in our lives when we finally understand the most valuable thing in our life is simply Him. And in fully understanding this, we would willfully, gladly, and excitingly be willing to give it all up in order to experience, without distraction, the worth and surpassing greatness of that relationship.

(Continued from A1) between the two buildings.

This area was previously nothing more than a grown up stretch of alley that contained a dumpster.

Gray found out that the alley is co-owned by the Dairy Bar and Shade Financial. Last year, Gray got permission from Mark Shade to clean out the alley and place rock. The dumpster was moved to the alley behind what used to be Dream Day Decorating.

But that was as far as it got.

“With the COVID-19 and the need for outdoor seating, that was the push I needed, so we got the tables and chairs out and placed them back there along with some potted flowers and a window box,” Gray said. “I also bought a bench to put back there, because it is shaded for most of the day, and hung up some solar café lights so in the evening, when it is lit up, it looks really neat – kind of like a little park back there.”

In the very near future, the Dairy Bar will be “portable.”

“We bought a food truck that would allow us to go around to the different events and sell ice cream,” Gray

said. “Our goal was to have that up and running this summer, but with everything being canceled, there was nothing to take it to so we decided to just wait.

“We have had a lot of people say we should open as second Dairy Bar in either Greenfield or White Hall, but I don’t think I want to do that. But with the food truck, we will have a lot of options to go different places, and I think it could be really fun.”

For Gray, all the work on the building is about keeping a piece of history alive.

“There is so much cool history to this place, which is why I try to do it justice by keeping it old fashioned and family friendly,” she said.

“When customers come in the Dairy Bar, I want them to feel like they took a step back in time. For me, it’s all about being a part of something that has been an icon in this town for so long and sharing the hospitality of the Dairy Bar. I hope people sense that when they come in for food or a treat.”

Gray said more updates are scheduled in the future, including more updates on the inside and possibly an awning on the side window.

Questions to COVID-19 virus origin continue Facelift r e n n u R Ridge

By BILL HOAGLAND The most accepted theory among virologists regarding the origin of the COVID-19 virus is that it originated in a bat, that it then infected an intermediate animal, and that it eventually jumped from that animal to humans.

Virologists in China initially claimed that this jump from an animal to humans occurred because of stressful conditions at a wet market in Wuhan, China. In late May, however, the Chinese government stated for the first time that the virus had no causal connection to the Wuhan wet market.

That announcement again raises the question of where and why did the virus jump from bats to humans.

Some think this virus was created as a biological weapon at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that it accidentally got out of the lab and into the general populace. Certainly, it is undisputed that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has been studying bat coronaviruses for years. And, it is also undisputed that this laboratory had been cited in the past for negligent handling of potentially dangerous viruses. But, the fact is that most virologists worldwide who have been studying this virus are convinced that this virus jumped from a bat to humans through natural evolution and that it could not possibly have

been created in a laboratory.

These virologist point to specific genetic characteristics of this virus to prove their point.

US intelligence sources apparently concur with this position.

But what about the possibility that this virus, while being studied by virologists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was somehow modified to the point that it gained new capabilities and then was accidentally released into the general populace of Wuhan?

This theory was recently discussed by Bret Weinstein, a renowned evolutionary biologist, on a Joe Rogan podcast on June 18. According to Weinstein, there is a “strong possibility” that this virus was manipulated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (or at another laboratory in Wuhan) and that this manipulation caused it to evolve into what it is today. Weinstein described this manipulation as a “splicing” or “insertion” of a new gene into the genome makeup of this virus. He said this splicing is “conspicuous.” It is not clear whether Weinstein thinks this splicing was intentional or accidental.

According to Weinstein, there are three behavioral characteristics of the COVID 19 virus that led him to this conclusion. First, from the time that it first was diagnosed in humans, this virus has always been easily transmit-

C H R O N IC L E S

table from human to human.

Normally, when a virus initially jumps from an animal host to a human host, it is not very contagious; that’s because it has not yet “learned” how to spread from human to human but that was not the case with this virus. From the get-go, it was extremely contagious.

Second, once a human becomes infected with this virus, the infection often spreads to multiple parts of the infected person’s body, not just the lungs. This, according to Weinstein, is also not typical.

Normally, a virus would affect only one part of the body, not multiple organs. Third, this virus appears to spread best when it is in a confined or enclosed area, as opposed to spreading with equal speed outside in daylight hours; this feature strongly suggests it was created inside — in a laboratory — because the virus has not “learned” how to function and spread in daylight.

We still have a lot to learn about this virus and frankly, it is too soon to draw any final conclusions about its origin.

And to complicate things further, there is some evidence that the virus is mutating and continuing to change, so much so that we may never know the origins of this virus. But we need to keep an open mind, and consider all possibilities if we are to understand and conquer this disease, including the notion that it may have been manipulated in a laboratory before it spread to humans.

Note: The Weinstein discussion regarding this subject can be found on YouTube at Joe Rogan Podcast #1494, starting at 1:53:00 in the interview.

Hummingbird (Continued from A1) dives, the males may attain speeds close to 60 miles per hour.”

Luckily, those speeds were not reached last Friday. The group trapped the birds, which were then transferred to a cloth sack to take to Kleen, who was waiting with a tool to attach the band.

“These bands have a letter and five numbers on them and attaches to the leg of the hummingbird,” Kleen said. “The metal used to make the band is so light that it has no effect on the bird’s ability to fly. We also measure the beak and the tail, which indicates approximately how old the hummingbird is.”

The average lifespan of a hummingbird that survives its first year ranges from three to five years. However, some might live as long as 10 years.

“We only trapped 10 birds today, but one of them that we

got had already been banded,” Kleen said. “According to the band, this bird was banded back in 2017 making him at least three years old.”

It is quite easy to distinguish the male from the female ruby-throated hummingbird.

“Adult males are readily identified by their ruby colored throat that glistens in the sunlight,” Kleen said. “This is to attract the females. Females and young birds, both male and female, are green above and white below, including the throat, and are not usually distinguishable in the field.”

The hummingbird is one of the lightest birds in the world.

“During the summer, their weight hovers around 3 grams, which is slightly less than the weight of a penny,” Kleen said.

“However, as they get ready to migrate, they store up food and their body weight increases to nearly 5 grams, about the

weight of a nickel.”

This migration occurs in the fall when the birds make their way to the Gulf of Mexico.

“It takes 15 to 20 hours to make the 500-mile trip,” Kleen said. “When they return to the United States, they either cross the Gulf or follow the Texas coast back to Mexico.

Kleen did dispel one common myth regarding the hummingbird.

“In times past, it was thought that hummingbird feeders should be taken down in September so that the birds would not be lured into staying beyond normal departure dates,” he said. “However, it has been learned that feeders are not responsible for delaying migration, therefore people are encouraged to leave feeders out at least two weeks beyond the date the last hummingbird was seen or even until November or December.

“The presence of such feeders later in the season have attracted and assisted the survival of many strays, including unexpected species from the west and southwest.”

Veteran Carl May organized and led a small veteran parade that went down Main Street in White Hall Friday evening. Since the White Hall Fourth of July was canceled, including the parade, May decided to honor the nation’s veterans on the celebration of the founding of this nation.

Who Is Essential?

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”

Matthew 6:26 NIV

T

he Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it a host of new expressions, from “social distancing” to “essential workers.” These shine a light on some important aspects of our society and how we think of ourselves. Perhaps we should consider more deeply who is essential? Of course, we all know that the healthcare workers who are caring for the sick and dying are essential, as are the people who deliver essential services, the police, the firefighters, and the EMTs. We also think of the people who work in the grocery stores as essential, and of course the people who deliver the food, as well as the restaurant workers and the people who grow the food. But what about the people

who help all of these people get to work, the taxi, Uber and Lyft drivers, and the bus drivers? They too are essential. And more broadly, aren’t the next generation of workers essential? Aren’t the children who are now in school (albeit at home) also essential?

And even the elderly, and the retired, aren’t they also essential?

In reality, everyone is essential if we are to have a society that values life the way we should.

Scripture – Ruth 4-1-15 Sermon: Boaz the Kinsman Redeemer.

To repent is to ask for forgiveness and to turn from our sin and never to do it again.

We should always be thankful for His forgiveness. Our God is still in control and sits on the only throne. You will have an eternal inheritance once you are saved.

You must go and seek others for Him. This must be your first mission. We must go and be disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples. So that the Word and Love of Jesus will go on.

Boaz does the work the Lord has for Him. Jesus is counting on us to make a difference in this world and in the lives of others.

The cross is a reminder that we were purchased at a great and high price.

God blesses the faithful-

ness of Boaz and Ruth. We are eternally blessed because of the cross. Jesus is our hope, our peace and comforter. We must not only say, but we must do His will. He wants you to be a testimony. Our society today is a result of us not listening to God. If we don’t stand on the truth (the Bible), we will fall and fail.

Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Sunday morning worship is at 10:30 a.m. Come join us!

Shows are limited to Illinois residents between the ages of 8-21.

There are things you should know about wildlife sightings Black bears, gray wolves and cougars (also known as mountain lions) were once common in the Midwest. As our cities, towns and farms grew, populations of these animals declined due to habitat loss and unregulated hunting.

Today, there are no known breeding populations of these large predators in Illinois, though occasionally individual animals will move through looking for new territory.

In recent years, there have been multiple confirmed sightings of cougars, black bears and wolves in Illinois. However, these species are all still very rare visitors in the state.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has never released large carnivores in the state and has no plans to do so in the future. However, the agency will not act to impede the natural re-colonization of these species as they expand from existing populations in other states.

All three species use similar habitats, though cougars need much more territory than bears or wolves. Research conducted at Southern Illinois University indicates that less than 15 percent of Illinois contains habitat that would support a small population of bears, wolves or cougars.

The Shawnee Forest in southern Illinois, habitat along the Illinois River in west-central Illinois and a small swatch of land in northwest Illinois are the most likely areas where these animals would be able to establish territories. But because all three species are highly mobile and capable of traveling long distances, it is possible that traveling individuals may be observed in any part of the state.

Obviously, managing large carnivores is more complicated than managing other species of wildlife. Knowing where large carnivores travel across the state will allow wildlife managers to proactively address potential human-carnivore conflicts, and mapping available suitable habitat will help biologists prepare for the potential influence of large carnivores on prey populations, smaller predators and the landscape.

If you see a large carnivore (bear, cougar or wolf): do not run. Running can cause the animal to chase you. If you are in a group, gather everyone together and move as a unit.

Make noise to ensure that the animal is aware of your presence. These animals are not likely

to attack a person unless they feel trapped or provoked. Respect the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space and do not approach it.

If the animal sees you, stand your ground, look as large as possible by standing up straight and putting your arms up in the air and slowly back away. If you have food with you, drop the food and keep moving away.

If possible, go inside a building or get into a vehicle. If the animal attacks, always try to fight it off. Use sticks, rocks and any other objects available. Do not play dead.

SB3049, which took effect January 1, 2015, amended the Illinois Wildlife Code by adding black bears, cougars and gray wolves to the list of protected species. Gray wolves are listed as a State Threatened Species and as Federally Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service throughout Illinois.

Black bears and cougars may not be hunted, killed or harassed unless there is an imminent threat to person or property. Gray wolves may not be hunted, killed or harassed for any reason.

If you feel you or your property is being threatened by black bear, cougar or gray wolf, contact the IDNR to learn about options available to address potential threats. The IDNR may issue a nuisance animal permit and assist you with control measures.

If you have recently seen a cougar, black bear or gray wolf in Illinois, please report the sighting to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Reviewable evidence is very helpful during efforts to identify the animal and the location. Please provide any documentation including original images of individual animals or tracks that you were able to obtain.

When documenting tracks or other sign, be sure to photograph individual tracks as well as groups of tracks. Include in the image an object to aid in the determination of size including a ruler, tape measure or common object of standard size (coin/paper money, business card, etc.). Also include images of the wider area where the tracks were found, including the tracks and other local features that can be located if the tracks are destroyed.

An IDNR biologist will review the information provided and attempt to use this information to confirm the species and location of the sighting.

CNB BANK & TRUST, N.A. Stepping up for Small Businesses with PPP Funding For months now, every facet of â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? life has been upended by COVID-19. Where and how we work, learn, shop, socialize and even bank have all been affected. Yet, the bright spot amid this sea change has been Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enduring spirit as friends and neighbors work together to stay safe, remain connected, and support one another.

A great example of coming together for the greater good is how the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5,000 community banks rallied around small businesses, which account for roughly 48 percent of the U.S. workforce and serve as the backbone of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

When stay-at-home orders forced millions of small businesses to curtail or close their operations, community banks like CNB stepped in to lend support.

So when the Small Business Administration (SBA) turned on the spigot for its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;which backstops emergency small-business loans IURP Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO LQVWLWXWLRQV WR KHOS FRYHU SD\UROO DQG UHODWHG FRVWV &1% PRELOL]HG every available resource at our disposal to process these loans.

We could not be prouder of our staff, many of whom worked nights and weekends or assumed new roles to get the job done and ensure critical funds were delivered to those who needed it most. In just 11 weeks we processed 888 loans totaling more than $78,000,000, within our Central Illinois, Chicago and St. Louis branch areas. To provide a bit of context, the loan volume for new commercial loan accounts represents 65% percent of what was processed and closed in 2019.

FDIC Chairman Jelena McWilliams recently referred to community banks as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the small engines that could and did and delivered big,â&#x20AC;? and the numbers certainly seem to support that description. According to the SBA summary of loan approvals through June 6, lenders with less than $50 billion in assets have accounted for more than 65 percent of the 4.5 million approved PPP loans and more than 63 percent of the $511 billion in funds approved since the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch. Nationwide, community banks have received hundreds of loan applications through the program ranging in size from less than $50,000 to more than $500,000, according to a recent ICBA survey.

So, as restrictions lift and you venture out to your favorite bakery, barbershop or boutique, you will be met with â&#x20AC;&#x153;open for businessâ&#x20AC;? signs and familiar faces waiting to service you.

Even before the PPP launched, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d begun offering our small businesses options for PRGLĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQV RI ORDQ WHUPV SD\PHQW GHIHUUDOV IRU XS WR VL[ PRQWKV DQG DGMXVWPHQWV to the rate and term to create lower payments. And we continue to seek ways to contribute to our economy and support local businesses.

Additionally, when funds were allocated for the member and associate member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC), CNB BANK & TRUST applied for and received a $20,000 grant from FHLBC, and decided to match the $20,000 grant with $20,000 of our own money. In total, $40,000 was donated to food shelters in the 17 branch communities the bank serves, with each food shelter receiving at least $2,000. The grant offer, along with matching funds, emphasizes the consistent support that CNB offers to customers, local businesses and communities.

When times are tough you can depend on us, your trusted local community bank.

Because at CNB BANK & TRUST relationships are priority one. We consider it our SULYLOHJH DQG GXW\ WR HQVXUH WKH Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO KHDOWK DQG ZHOIDUH RI WKLV FRPPXQLW\ The customers and communities we serve are the driving forces behind all that we do.

Earthly Goods delivers everything home grown at Carrollton market

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets finally starting up around the area, people are flocking to them for fresh produce and a variety of other items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Carrolltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market.

Among the vendors, astute shoppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first stop might be the booth of Special Interest Artistry and Earthly Goods, owned by Kimberly Dublo and Tammy White of Bellview in Northern Calhoun County.

For two years now, they have been regulars at the Carrollton Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market, and during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first market of the season, the fresh produce was flying off their tables.

Their first offerings of the season included green beans, beets, cucumbers, kale, several varieties of peppers and zucchini, along with a variety of different homemade jams and jellies and homemade spices.

Dublo, born and raised in Jerseyville, is the Special Interest Artistry part of the business. Her specialty is gourd art.

She grows her own gourds and then transforms them into magnificent works of art by carving beautiful scenes into them.

White, who is from the Hamburg area originally, is the Earthly Goods part of the business. According to Dublo, she is the one with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;green thumb.â&#x20AC;?

The couple lives on two acres with at least an acre devoted to their massive garden. But, they do more than just grow vegetables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fresh produce that we raise and the products we sell,

such as the jams, jellies and spices, we make from the produce we raise or produce that is locally grown,â&#x20AC;? Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The jams and jellies are made from the blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, pears and cherries that we grow on our farm.â&#x20AC;?

Not only do they grow the produce, but they propagate them as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plants we have we start from the seeds we have saved from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start them in our basement around February under grow lights, and when they get old enough in the spring, we sell the plants. What we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell we plant in our own garden.

What we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell we try to process or freeze to make our own jams and jellies and herbs and spices.â&#x20AC;?

Their most popular item to sell at the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets are tomatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with good reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they carry a wide variety to choose from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we planted over 1,000 heirloom tomato plants with over 200 different varieties,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep track of which ones do best, save the seeds and plant them the following season. It's funny because a variety that does really good for two years usually fizzles out in year three or four.â&#x20AC;?

They also grow a variety of different peppers, from jalapeĂąos to ghost peppers, which range from very hot to mild.

There are also different varieties of squash available from green to yellow to striped.

Everything they sell is naturally grown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not in an artificial environment such as a hothouse.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We depend on Mother Nature for a lot of stuff,â&#x20AC;? Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow in hoop houses, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control the environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mother Nature does, and we just have to roll with the punches.â&#x20AC;?

Dublo said two years ago, their garden was pretty well wiped out by a hailstorm, and the year before, the creek near their farm spilled over into their garden area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both years, we somehow managed to come back enough to carry us through the season at the end of the growing season,â&#x20AC;?

Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is most definitely a struggle, but those plants become like your babies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you care for them and you watch them grow until they mature and you hope nothing bad happens before that maturity.â&#x20AC;?

Many might think that selling at a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market is easy, but it is far from it. The couple travel to several different farmers markets each week and on these days, their day begins very early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First thing we do is go out in the morning and pick the vegetables and wash them,â&#x20AC;? Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then they are stored in a cooler room to keep it chilled until we pack it up and bring it here. We have a trailer that is always loaded up with our tent and tables so everything is ready to go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just have to pack up the produce.â&#x20AC;?

White grew up going to farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets with her dad, who still accompanies them on occasion when one or the other canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad has a garden on the hillside, and we do have some

Tammy White and Kimberly Dublo are pictured with just a fraction of the produce they bring to the Carrollton Farmers Market each week. Everything they sell is homegrown or homemade. In addition to fresh produce, they also sell homemade jams and jellies and an assortment of spices. The market is on Mondays from 4 to 7 p.m.

of his produce as well,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for a long time, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I enjoy and since we moved, we have taken it to a new level.â&#x20AC;?

White not only has the green thumb, but she is also the Julia Child of the business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammy does all the cooking of the jams and jellies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just the taste-tester and the one tasked with chopping up the jalapeĂąos,â&#x20AC;? Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also grow a lot of the herbs for

the spices she makes. We dry them out in a dehydrator and then crush them up and Tammy makes the different spices.â&#x20AC;?

Their offerings, which they refer to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blend of artistic and horticultural endeavorsâ&#x20AC;? is definitely a labor of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lot of work, day in and day out, morning, noon and night,â&#x20AC;? Dublo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, it is something that we take pride in and love to do.â&#x20AC;?
