Wheeler pleads guilty to lesser charge By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Ryan Wheeler, who was charged in the death of a five-month-old child that was found buried in the family’s back yard in November of 2018, pled guilty Monday morning to a charge of concealing a homicidal death. On June 25, Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe added two additional charges of first-degree murder to Wheeler’s charges. Wheeler had been incarcerated in the Greene County jail since his arrest on Nov. 29, 2018, along with the child’s mother, Jamia Ellis, in the death of the child. Ellis was charged with concealment and two counts of first-degree murder in 2018.
According to a motion filed by Ellis’ attorney, Michele Berkel, three former cellmates of Wheeler had come forward as witnesses with testimony that Wheeler had admitted his involvement in the child’s death. Wheeler, who had been scheduled for a jury trial on July 13, was released to an ankle-monitoring system by the court on July 10 because the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy on the child is now working in Idaho, and his boss would not let him leave the state to come to Illinois to testify because of COVID-19. According to Briscoe, when information implicating Wheeler in the murder later surfaced, he filed the two additional counts of first degree murder, both alleging involvement in

against, and ultimate conviction of Wheeler.� Briscoe declined further comment given the pending murder trial schedule, which is scheduled for later this month, against Wheeler’s co-defendant, Jamia Ellis. The charge of concealment of a homicidal death carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $25,000 fine. The case against Ellis, which includes two counts of first degree murder, is set for Aug. 31. Wheeler’s plea is the result of an investigation by the Carrollton Police, Greene County Sheriff’s Department and the Illinois State Police. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 16 at 1:15 p.m. before Greene County Circuit Court Judge James Day.

After careful review of the newfound evidence, however, Briscoe said he ultimately determined that this information was not credible. “We wanted to act swiftly upon learning that Wheeler may have been involved in the murder,� he said. “Based upon the Illinois State Police’s preliminary investigation, we felt comfortable bringing the more serious charges at that time. “Upon further review, however, we felt that the newfound evidence was simply not credible, unreliable and otherwise incapable of convicting Wheeler of murder.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A new business has opened in Carrollton, and the name of the business pretty much says it all. Jack and Jill Mercantile opened on the north side of the square, next to Alfonso’s Pizza, on Monday, Aug. 3 offering everything from CBD products to custom made T-shirts and drinking tumblers to all-inclusive vacations. The three principle individuals involved are Carrollton resident Kenny Isringhausen, his girlfriend, Kim Schomaker, and their friend, Sarah Garrison. “We came up with the name, the ‘Jack and Jill’ part of the name, because all three of us are pretty much a ‘jack of all trades,’� Schomaker said. “And the ‘mercantile’ derives from the fact that the old-days stores that carried a little bit of everything were called mercantile stores.� Schomaker is a licensed travel agent, Garrison enjoys crafting and makes the personalized tum-
blers and other customized items, and Isringhausen has the CBD products along with Fire-In-TheHole broad-heads and fishing products. “Kenny is a licensed processor of cannabis in the State of Illinois as well as a grower,� Schomaker said. “We carry everything from the CBD cream to the drops and even the vape liquid. We have been told they are better quality than some of the products carried by local convenience stores.� At the front of the building, Schomaker has a little corner where she will be happy to help plan a domestic or overseas trip or purchase tickets to a concert or sporting event. “I can help you set up anything from a bus tour for a group of people to just about anywhere to an all-inclusive vacation anywhere in the world,� she said. “I also have access to tickets to just about anything from Broadway plays to Cardinal games. I can also book your hotel and rental car if you like.� For those with special needs,
she is also certified with Special Needs at Sea. This is a company that works with cruise lines to make sure passengers who are in wheelchairs or some other mobility device can take advantage of the cruises. In the back part of the building, Garrison has supplies such as paint, glitter and decals to make just about any design on a custom made tumbler. “If you can think of it – I can do it,� Garrison said. “If I do it and you don’t like it, I will redo it until you do. People are really picky about their tumblers because they are so expensive, and the customers want what they are asking for.� Garrison was the former owner of several vape shops, including one in Jerseyville, but decided to try her hand at something a little more creative. “I got started making tumblers because I wanted a tumbler, and I wasn’t about to spend $60 for it,� (See, MERCANTILE, A2)

Jury trials during the pandemic will be problematic Cases r e n n u R e g Rid
By BILL HOAGLAND I recently received notification from the Circuit Court of Madison County that jury trials are tentatively scheduled to resume in September. We can’t put it off forever— especially the criminal trials – but attempting to have a traditional jury trial in this pandemic is really going to be problematic. To start the process of conducting a traditional jury trial, the local Circuit Clerk normally sends out notices to a large number of residents in the county to appear for jury duty and from that larger group, a smaller group of people is selected to serve on a jury if they indicate that they are willing and available to serve as jurors. Right there we have our first problem. Some surveys are now suggesting that as many as 60 percent of prospective jurors in some parts of the country do not want to serve during the pandemic, especially senior citizens. And most lawyers would probably agree that if a prospective juror really, really does not want to serve, particularly if they have concerns about being exposed to COVID 19 while attending court in person, they need to be excused from jury duty. These are jurors who might not be willing to spend the time considering the evidence or otherwise following their responsibilities as
a juror; they just want out and that attitude could taint any attempt to have a fair trial. And unfortunately, if an entire block of citizens are not willing to show up for jury duty, can there really be a trial “by your peers?” Maybe not. The second problem has to do with attempting to pick an impartial jury. Generally, this is done in the courtroom after willing jurors are seated in the jury box. Courtrooms are not traditionally set up so that jurors can practice social distancing while sitting in the jury box, so some adjustments would have to be made in that regard. And as far as selecting impartial jurors, that is hard enough under normal circumstances, but what if they are all wearing face masks or worse yet, what if jurors are eventually required to wear both face masks and goggles as has been recently suggested? How could anyone effectively pick a jury when everyone looks and sounds like Darth Vader? Once a jury panel is selected in a traditional trial, they are required to hear the evidence and decide the factual issues. Credibility of the witnesses plays a big part in the jury’s attempt to determine the truth. But what if the witnesses are all wearing masks? Let’s face it: if you can’t see the expressions and demeanor of witnesses
CHRONICLES
as they are testifying, good luck trying to determine their credibility. And what if, during a trial taking several days to conclude, several jurors develop high temperatures? Is the trial suspended until tests can be conducted or does the court proceed without those jurors? Finally, in the traditional jury trial, we have that point in the trial when the jury is sequestered for the purpose of deliberating and deciding the issues they are supposed to decide. Normally, this is done in a relatively small room where the jury is confined until they reach a consensus. There is not much social distancing in a traditional jury room. So are the jurors going to debate the issues outdoors in a local park, with everyone wearing masks and sitting at least six feet apart? And if they are social distancing six feet apart and wearing masks, how can the first juror hear what the twelfth juror is saying unless they are all shouting? I am exaggerating this a bit, but you get the point: where can the jury safely and effectively deliberate? A few courts, notably in
California and Texas, have attempted to conduct a traditional jury trial and it has not gone well—to the point that courts in those states are now attempting to have jury trials on a remote basis with everyone participating via a computer from home. This has not gone well either; not only is it expensive to do everything remotely but there is almost no control over the jurors—some jurors even participating from their bedrooms. We will discuss these non-traditional options in more detail in an upcoming column to see if anything might work. Unfortunately, it is critical that we come up with a solution to this problem soon. ––––––––––––––––––– 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.

Simply keep climbing to clear those dark times
I don’t how many times I have crossed a ridge thinking I was some place that I wasn’t. I don’t how many times I have crested a hill thinking I’ll be able to see something I didn’t. I don’t know how many times I have rounded a bend to discover an additional path to the place I was going. I recognize this truth weekly. One of my hobbies is cycling. I’ve been riding for several years, and sometimes the places I ride are difficult. As a result, I’m always looking around the corner thinking I have reached a certain marker that will give me hope that I’ve almost reached my destination. You may say I’m too unfamiliar with the road, but
I’m not. I’m just not always paying attention. Just this morning, I rounded a curve, thinking I had an additional distance to travel. But I was pleasantly surprised that I was closer than I had thought. Most of the time, this is not the case. Most of the time, I find there’s another hill, another ridge, or another path. And I sigh. Many of you can already identify with my plight. You, however, may be experiencing these events in a more meaningful place. You are hoping the present hill you are climbing is the last one. You are praying the end of the painful journey you have been on is just over the next ridge. You are anticipating this
bend to be the last one. You are hoping the light at the end of the tunnel is actually a light- and an end. You are tired of the fight. I feel for you, and I’m sorry you are going through this dark time. But let me ask you to keep climbing. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, even though you are not sure where the path is leading. Keep moving and keep trusting – even though you are confused. Remember, your understanding of the problem or its solution is not a prerequisite for a good ending. Your trust is all that’s needed. And even that is only needed in a small supply. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean
on your o w n understanding. In all your w a y s acknowle d g e him, and he will make straight your paths,” Solomon said.

Closes (Continued from A1) “Emergency cases may be scheduled on a case-by-case basis,” Day said. “Individuals and attorneys should contact the Greene County Circuit Clerk for purposes of scheduling emergency matters.” The following court proceedings will be held as scheduled with appearances expected for all litigants unless health waivers apply: All matters with individuals in custody, criminal felony matters, juvenile temporary custody (shelter care), juvenile detention hearings, petitions for emergency orders of protection, hearings for plenary orders of protection and emergency hearings on family matters. “People should not enter the courthouse, and their appearances in court
will be waived if they have been directed to quarantine, isolate or selfmonitor at home for COVID-19 by any medical provider,” Day said. “Or, if they have been diagnosed with, or have had close contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 or have flu-like symptoms including fever, coughing, sneezing or shortness of breath.” Attorneys and litigants with a scheduled case, appointment or who are otherwise required to appear at the courthouse in connection with a court case, but are unable to appear because of the restrictions, should contact the circuit clerk, and the court will make reasonable accommodations and reschedule appearances and hearings as needed. The court was under similar restric-
tions from March until the end of June when the state entered into Phase 4 of the reopening plan. Earlier that same day, Aug. 10, it was announced that the County Clerk’s office was closed, and the county clerk would be working from home until further notice. HIPPA regulations prevented County Clerk Debbie Banghart from stating why she would be working from home. The decision to close the courthouse was made after a morning meeting with Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters. Carrollton Library also shuttered their doors, and once again, went to curbside pickup only, as did several restaurants in Carrollton who were suggested to cease all inside dining.
hats, etc., as well as clay figurines, tiedyed shirts and heat pressed T-shirts. The coming together of these three very different individuals with very different talents was one of chance. “Kenny has his business in Jerseyville, and in that business, he also has a dog groomer, and Sarah was working from the dog groomer and mentioned to him how much she loves to do tumblers and how she would love to have her own shop one day,” Schomaker said. “He told her he wanted to open a shop for his CBD products, so they put their minds together and came up with Jack and Jill Mercantile.” They also carry items on consignment from local artists including handmade birdhouses, pottery by Kayla Lovel, and soon, they will have homemade goat soap for purchase. Another
person will have stained glass items for sale as well. In the future, Schomaker said they are considering holding an afternoon or evening class for people to paint bird houses or even a class on making tumblers. “We just thought it might be nice to just have a fun night out with the guys or girls or whatever,” Schomaker said. “This is only our first week open, so there is going to be a lot more in here than what we have right now. We welcome everyone to come in and check us out and see what all we have to offer.” Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Schomaker said that those hours could be adjusted in the near future, including opening a little earlier in the day.
Mercantile (Continued from A1) she said. “Instead, I spent $10,000 on supplies to make my own.” And those supplies just keep growing. “I find that my stock pretty much grows every single time someone orders a tumbler,” she said. “It never fails that there is something I need for that specific tumbler that I don’t have so I have to order it. The supplies I have just keep growing.” It takes hours and hours to make each tumbler with layer upon layer of glitter, paint, epoxy, decals, etc. Some of the designs are hand painted by Garrison. After each layer, the tumblers have to turn on a machine so the epoxy will dry evenly. Garrison also makes hemp jewelry, crocheted items, such as baby shoes,

They will be screened over the phone to determine if they need to be seen in-person or have a tele-health visit. Because of an outbreak of cases in North Greene, the North Greene School District announced that all fall junior high sports have been canceled. Greene County Health Department Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said cases in Greene County have increased since the state opened up in July and have dramatically increased over the last week. So much so, in fact, that Monday morning the Health Department issued the mandate that restaurants must cease indoor dining and go back to curbside pickup or take-out. Peters gave a breakdown on the number of cases since the state moved into Phase 4 of its reopening plan. On July 5, after three months of being shut down, there was a total of eight positive cases in the county. On July 24, that amount almost doubled to 15 cases. One week later on Aug. 1, there were at 19 cases and by Aug. 5 that number had jumped to 34. Right now, there are 46 active positive cases in the county, bringing the total to 66, 20 of which have recovered. “If we don’t take action now and be aware of our surroundings and stay home when we have even slight symptoms, those numbers can double very quickly,” Peters said. “Those numbers can get to where they are doubling each week like they are in some of the bigger counties, and we don’t want that to happen.” Peters said large gatherings increase exposure and should be avoided at all costs. “Any large gathering of people is going to be an increased risk for someone to contract the virus,” she said. “If you have a large gathering planned, now is the time to reconsider those plans, because we don’t want to go back into Phase 3. We want people to take action to stop this, which means avoiding large gatherings, wearing a mask when out in public and washing their hands.” To put things in perspective, from the end of March until July 5, more than three months, the county had only eight confirmed cases of the virus. Last Wednesday, Aug. 5, there were eight positive cases in a single day, and from Friday to Monday, the number of cases increased by 14, almost doubling the amount of cases confirmed during the first three months of the shutdown. “We saw a large increase over the past two days, and there was a large gathering related to many of these cases,” Peters said. “There are also worksite outbreaks
in other communities as well as within Greene.” The health department is no longer giving the age and sex of the newly tested positives, but they are providing a graph showing the number of positives in each age group as well as a pie chart showing the area where these cases are located. The most recent graph on the Health Department Facebook page, which was posted last Thursday, show the 20 and 30 year old age range with the most positive cases followed by the 50 year old age group. It should be noted, however, that at the time this graph was made, there were only 34 positive cases. There have been 25 additional cases since those numbers were released. As for the location of these positive cases, roughly 75 percent of these cases are located in the North Greene area, followed by the Greenfield area, which has almost twice as many cases as the Carrollton area. “We are urging anyone who has been in contact with a confirmed positive case to quarantine within their home,” Peters said. “You will quarantine regardless of negative result if you are a direct contact. Negative results are a result for the day of the test.” Peters was asked if the positive results were coming from random testing. “I believe the people who are being tested at this time [are doing so] because they either have symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has a confirmed case,” Peters said. “People are choosing to get tested because of what is going on around them.” The time to take this virus seriously is now. “We strongly encourage gatherings be reduced and rescheduled,” Peters said. “We are working with data sharing and when it is fully updated we will share.” The Health Department is collecting a list of names of individuals who are willing to help those who are being quarantined by running errands or getting food. Anyone who would be interested in being a helper can contact the health department. Several Carrollton restaurants, including the Dairy Bar and Subway, closed their dining rooms to inside dining and went to curbside pickup again, and the Carrollton Library also closed their doors to the public, but will deliver books curbside. Peters was asked if this was mandated by her department. “No, this was not mandated by our office,” she said. “We shared the concerns about the large increase in cases and these businesses chose to make these changes on their own. If we want to get rid of this virus, we all have to work together. The sooner we do that the sooner all of this will be over.”

Spanish Flu similarities to COVID-19 are endless By CARMEN ENSINGER
Greene Prairie Press This is the second part of a two-part series on the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19 including the history of the virus and the effects it had on the local area. The Spanish Flu pandemic began in March 1918 but was not officially ruled “overâ€? until 1920 as many people were still dying from the virus. There is no doubt that hygiene practices have evolved over the last 100 years, but in actuality, many of the things suggested to curtail the virus are some of the same ones we are using today, such as washing of the hands and wearing a mask. However, there were some rather unorthodox measures that were suggested for the public to do to keep from spreading the virus. The Department of Health referred to them as “Influenza Don’ts.Âľ Some of the odder ones included: Q Don’t live in the dark and don’t shut the sunshine out of your home. Q Don’t associate with people who sneeze and cough in your presence. Q Don’t overtax your physical powers. Cut out evening entertainment and be in bed by 10 p.m. Q Don’t fail to sleep with every window in your bedroom open. Q Don’t allow your home to become damp, chilly or uncomfortable (which is odd since they also suggest one sleep with every window open, even in the winter months.) Q Don’t fail to walk to your work in the morning and to your home at night – the open air will be of decided benefit. One big no-no was spitting. Chicago Police Chief John H. Alcock threatened that he would supply the local newspapers with the names and addresses of all people arrested for spitting. And yes, it was an arrestable offense to spit during this pandemic. The Nov. 3, 1918 News of the World suggested some flu precautions. These included washing the inside of the nose with soap and water each night and morning; forcing yourself to sneeze night and morning and then breathe deeply; not wearing a muffler and eating plenty of porridge. Since physicians did not know the cause of the virus, the only information they could give
the public was to “keep the body strong and able to fight off the disease germs.� This could be done by “having the proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed and by eating sufficient and wholesome and properly selected food.� In other words, get plenty of rest and eat right. Even in 1918, there were government officials who did not agree with the quarantine policy in fighting the epidemic. Dr. C.S. Nelson, who was with the Illinois State Board of Health for more than 20 years resigned his post because he disagreed with the idea of the quarantine to stop the spread of the disease along with some of the other health rules that were being promoted to stop the spread. Nelson went so far as to call the idea fanatical and blasted the media for giving more credibility to the virus than was warranted, even though there was very little press at the time about it. Nelson believed the greatest safeguard to a community in any calamity is the avoidance of panic. While the health department was issuing all of the information on how devastating the flu was, they were also urging the public to “keep cool� and “don’t get excited.� He compared it to yelling fire in a crowded theatre, and at the same time, telling the people to keep cool and don’t get excited. He also believed that quarantining and closing businesses failed to stop the spread of the virus. “We have had epidemics of influenza many times before, minus the panics, health rules and publicity, which ran their course, the same as this one must, with less serious results than we are having at this time,� he said. Of course, Nelson had no idea at the time of making this statement in 1918 that the virus would kill 50 million people around the world before it was stamped out. There is actually very little to be found in local newspapers about the virus in 1919-20. Perhaps this was because of a letter received by the White Hall Register in February of 1919 from Dr. A.W. Foreman who severely criticized newspapers who printed “alarming statements about the influenza epidemic.� Foreman stated that most of these statements are “not only greatly exaggerated, but they prolong and intensify the epidemic by
producing fear and gloomy forebodings.� Furthermore, “the statement that there has been 400,000 deaths from the disease is a wild guess and ridiculous, and the prediction that the epidemic is liable to recur at any time was without foundation in past experiences.� Foreman was referring to the epidemics of influenza in 1873 and 1889, which he said were both self-limited “just as this one is, except insofar as fear produced by a gloomy foreboding will contribute to its longevity. Many a person has been scared sick and finally died of the fright.� There is one mention of the Spanish Flu in the Carrollton Patriot on Jan. 9, 1919 when the city once again forbid all public meetings. However, they allowed schools to continue under medical supervision. Carrollton Mayor McNabb ordered all pool rooms, card rooms, picture shows, churches and lodges be closed until further notice. Local physicians reported 63 cases in Carrollton with several entire families down with the virus, including Dr. Vedder, who was seriously ill along with his wife and their son. One week later, the Jan. 16 edition announced that the ban was lifted after “not a single new case of influenza had developed in town in the past two or three days and that all cases were improving.� Ironically, in 2005, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was able to replicate the deadly virus thanks to a small rural village in Alaska. The attempts to find and replicate the virus were documented on the CDC website. In 1918, a small oceanside village called Brevig Mission had a population of 80 inhabitants. Within five days, 72 of those residents died as a result of the virus and were buried in a mass grave. This mass grave was frozen in permafrost and left untouched until 1951 when Johan Hultin, a 25-year-old Swedish microbiologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Iowa, set out on an expedition in hopes of finding the virus. Buried and preserved by the permafrost about seven feet deep was the body of an Inuit woman who likely died in her 20’s. Her lungs were perfectly frozen and preserved. Hultin removed them and placed them in preserving fluid and shipped them to scientists in the U.S. Ten days later, he received a call that positive 1918 virus genetic material had been
obtained from this lung tissue. Ultimately, the entire genome of the 1918 virus was sequenced and the necessary information was in place to reconstruct a live version of the virus. The decision to reconstruct the deadliest pandemic flu virus of the 20th century was made with considerable care and attention to safety. Senior government officials decided on CDC headquarters in Atlanta as the location of the reconstruction. As part of the security and safety considerations, it was determined that only one person would be granted permission, laboratory access and the responsibility of reconstructing the virus. That person was Dr. Terrence Tumpey. Dr. Tumpey’s work began in the summer of 2005. Using reverse genetics, Tumpey inserted the plasmids created for each of the virus’ eight gene segments into human kidney cells. The plasmids then instructed the cells to reconstruct the RNA of the complete 1918 virus. On the day the virus appeared in his cell culture, Tumpey knew history had been made. A historic and very deadly virus had been brought back from extinction. Tumpey was the first man to reconstruct the complete 1918 virus. The next step was to study it and unlock its deadly secrets. These studies began in August of 2005 with the injection of the 1918 virus into mice. Other mice were infected with other flu viruses for comparison. The virus was striking in terms of its ability to quickly replicate and spread infection in the lungs of the infected mice. Four days after infection, the amount of the 1918 virus found in the lung tissue of the mice was 39,000 times higher than those produced by the other flu samples. It was also highly lethal. Some mice died within three days of infection and lost up to 13 percent of their body weight. The virus was at least 100 times more lethal than the other viruses it was compared to. Ultimately, some good did come from the experiment. In 2008, researchers announced they had discovered what made the Spanish Flu so deadly. It was a group of three genes which enabled the virus to weaken a victim’s bronchial tubes and lungs and clear the way for bacterial pneumonia.

Barrow Baptist Church news Hello from Barrow Baptist Church. Our service times are 9:30 a.m. Sunday school, followed by 10:30 a.m. morning worship with children’s church and nursery service available. We do wear masks and practice social distancing. Everyone is welcome to either or both services. On Sunday Aug. 9, we had 20 attending Sunday school and 27 attending morning worship. Our pastor, Bro. Mancel Day, was ill Sunday, and the pulpit was filled by
Pastor Becky Long from Franklin. She was certainly a good speaker and really enjoyable to listen to. If your church ever needs a fill-in, I would highly recommend her. Becky is Russell and Carole Wells’ granddaughter. Remember our men and women in uniform and the leaders of our nation in your prayers. Others to remember are Gerald and Junia Day, Mancel Day, Judy Caskey, Judy McCurley, Connie Sturgeon, Sam Ford, Colby Eilers, Mandy Christian-Gates, Karla Cannon,
OBITUARY Kathi Lear, Brenda Lawson, Mary Jane Basham, Sue Scheets, Sandy Griffin and Paul Lair. We also extend our sympathies to the family in Beardstown that lost the two young boys to drowning. There are no birthdays or anniversaries to report this week. Don’t forget our ladies monthly luncheon Tuesday, Aug. 18 at noon in the fellowship hall. That’s all for this week. Have a good week and be a friend to someone in need.
White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news On Sunday, Aug. 2, we opened with prayer and announcements. We are blessed to have Becky play our piano. Bro. Brad led the singing. Sermon: The Persecuted Church Scripture: Revelation 2: 8-11 Other passages: Luke 9: 23-26; Mark 8: 34-38; John 15: 18-20 Compare to the Church Universal (Worldwide). Compare to your congregation. Spirit of the church is in each and every one of us. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If it gets stronger, the whole chain gets stronger. The Lord is coming soon. If your Christianity costs you nothing, there’s a good chance it’s religion. Red letters in the Bible are the words of Jesus. His words and commands requires of us, His followers. They may look a little different than you have been taught. Wealth and prosperity gospels say everyone is going to Heaven. That’s not what the Bible says. Jesus’ words are the only ones that matter. Prayer is not
an accessory but a necessity. Following Christ will cost you. True cost is discipleship. The reward for enduring to the end — greater than any other reward. Your crown of eternal life is your reward. People are more worried about their physical death than they are their spiritual death. Be prepared. Know your eternal destination. Jesus is coming soon. Are you going to answer His call? Not all do. Jesus has always been. Jesus has seen Heaven, Earth and Hell. Persecution will cost you. You must die to yourself and live for Him. Are you more worried about your physical death than your spiritual death? Prayer and serving God will change our community. Prayer meetings should be an important part of our lives. The authority of the Godhead — the first and the last, who was and is allknowing. He is omnipresent with you everywhere. He is omnipotent, which is all-powerful. God is sovereign, which
means He is over all and sees all. Nothing can change God’s plans. Nothing! The church was persecuted for Christ’s sake for being the church that Christ called them to be. Obedience. The truth is the truth. If the Bible says it’s wrong, then it’s wrong — period. God’s word is the same today as it was back then. God does not change because we want Him to. It will cost you to follow Him. There is a true cost to discipleship. There will be a change if you truly have met Jesus. Only you and Him know. If you are His, then there will be a change. Jesus gives us two simple words: “Follow me.” We must give up things in our life to truly follow Him. Your reward will be greater than any reward you will ever get on Earth — the reward for following Jesus! Be faithful until death, He will give you the crown of life — the crown of eternal life. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! Be sure you are ready!
Hillview Baptist Church news Announcements: Don’t forget, Bro. Isaac’s Ordination Service will be held Saturday, Aug. 15 at 10 a.m. It will also be available on Facebook. SCBA Annual Meeting is Saturday Aug. 29 at 9 a.m. at Faith Baptist Church in Carrollton. We resumed children’s Sunday School this week.

Message: Exodus 6: 2-13 Moses was one of the first to openly speak to God. The people did not really know who God was. He told them He was the Lord. As God looks at His children He tells Moses that He hasn’t forgotten His promises to them and He is going to keep them. We are all sinners, but God gave the
promise that He would send a savior if we would just accept Him. God sees our pain, but He is still moving; even in this pandemic of today. God is in charge. We are given the task to spread God’s word to the world today. We as a church need to be a light in the darkness. Are you doing what you need to do to win others to the Lord?
The Virtue of Constancy “Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.” Psalm 119:33 NIV
V
irtue must be inculcated when we are young, because the virtues are essentially habits of acting properly, as Aristotle pointed out some 2500 years ago. If those good habits are not developed early on, it’s much harder to develop them when we are older. And whether we have inculcated virtue from our youth or not, we are all tossed back and forth by the winds of selfish desire and vice. Even when we know what the right thing to do is, we are often tempted to do the opposite. Knowing that we should return the dropped or misplaced ten-dollar bill to its rightful owner, we are still tempted to slip it in our pocket and keep it for ourselves. If we have been raised right, however, we won’t sleep well. Likewise, in so many areas of our life, we know we should be temperate when it comes to eating and drinking, and all of our
CHURCH/OBITUARIES
appetites, but we are still tempted to overdo it. The virtue of constancy is in some ways a virtue which helps us stay on the path of virtue, telling us to steer clear of vice and always do the right thing, despite obstacles in our path. Perseverance is the virtue that allows us to keep striving to do the right thing, despite the difficulty of continuing the act itself, while constancy is the virtue of continuing to do the right thing despite external difficulties. We get distracted, we lose patience, and often we just want to do the easy thing, but constancy keeps us on the right path. – Christopher Simon

U.S. Rep. Davis tests positive for COVID-19
By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press Among the growing list of individuals who have contracted COVID-19 is our own representative to the U.S. House. It was announced Wednesday that U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Illinois, has tested positive for COVID-19. “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19,” Davis said Wednesday. “Since the beginning of this pandemic, I have taken my temperature twice daily because serving in Congress means I interact with many people, and it’s my duty to protect the health of those I serve. This morning, my temperature clocked in at 99 degrees Fahrenheit, which is higher than normal for me.” Because of the high temperature, he and his wife, Shannon, received a test that morning. “While my test came back
positive, my wife’s test came back negative. My staff who I’ve worked with in-person this week have received negative tests as well,” Davis said. Other than a higher-thannormal temperature, Davis has not shown any symptoms at this time and reportedly feels “fine,” according to a news release. Davis’s office is said to be contacting constituents he has met in-person within the previous 48 hours, per CDC guidelines. “My staff and I take COVID19 very seriously. My wife is a nurse and a cancer survivor, which puts her in an at-risk category like so many Americans. My office and I have always followed and will continue to follow CDC guidelines, use social distancing and wear masks or face coverings when social distancing cannot be maintained.” It was announced that public
events his office has planned for the coming days has been postponed until Davis receives a negative test. “I will continue to serve my constituents virtually from home while I quarantine. Our district offices throughout central and southwestern Illinois remain open for constituents as well,” he said. Aaron DeGroot, communications director for Davis’s office, said the event in Jerseyville still took place at the same place and time, just with a virtual twist. It was announced last week that Davis would have Open Office Hours from 9-11 a.m. at the Jerseyville City Hall, located at 115 E Prairie St. A Davis staff member will be present at the open office hours at city hall to facilitate the virtual meetings. “During these challenging times, protecting the public health is my highest priority,”
Davis added. “If you’re out in public, use social distancing, and when you can’t social distance, please wear a mask. All of us must do our part. That’s what it will take to get through this pandemic.” Davis resides in Taylorville with his wife, Shannon, and their three children, Toryn, Clark and Griffin. In related news, the Jersey County Health Department confirmed six new positive cases of COVID-19 Monday, bringing the total number of active cases to 35. So far, there has been a total of 116 cases in the county, 79 of whom have since recovered and two who have died. As of Wednesday, there are three current active cases in Calhoun County. In Calhoun, there have been a total of nine cases since this pandemic struck the states. Six have since recovered. In Greene County, there
RODNEY DAVIS
are 39 active cases. There is a total of 59 in that county that has tested positive for novel COVID19, 20 who have since recovered. Looking at the state level, there has been 195,399 who have tested positive out of a little under 2.9 million test that were administered. Across the state, 7,637 have died as a result of COVID-19.
Calhoun County Fair canceled
By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Press It was a decision organizers held off making in hopes that the situation might change, but they had reached an inflection point, and ultimately, a call had to be made. On Wednesday, Aug. 5, the Calhoun County Fair Board unanimously decided to cancel the Calhoun County Fair, joining the long list of county fairs across the state who already canceled. Like those other fairs, the Calhoun County Fair was canceled because of COVID-19 and the challenge they would have faced trying to adhere to guidelines related to the virus. Also, this comes at a time when COVID-19 cases are rising faster among those in Calhoun and across the state.
Fair Board President Terry Strauch said it was more than that, though. “The big thing was, though, that our insurance company does not cover [it]. They have an exclusionary clause. They do not cover any kind of pandemic thing. So, we felt that kind of left us open,” Strauch said. The decision was not taken lightly. “We waited as long as we possibly could,” Strauch said. Strauch noted the board met several times to mull over their options. The Calhoun fair is one of the last-held fairs in the state, and there were hopes this would leave enough time for something to change for the better. That was not the case, though. “It is disheartening,” Strauch said. “We have met several times, and we kept put-
ting it off and putting it off, hoping that something might change where we could have a fair. We waited just about a month before the fair starts before we made our final decision. We said Aug. 5 was going to be our final day — one way or another.” And on Aug. 5, it was decided that the fair and the subsequent events related to the fair like the truck pull, the demolition derby and the fair pageant were canceled. This marks the second year in the fair’s history that the event has been canceled. The first time was a result of the Great Flood of ’93. The fair has existed in the county for decades, moving to its present location in 1960. Notably, this year marked 60 years for the fair. “I hope the people understand the reason we are doing it,” Strauch said. “I mean there is just no social distancing
going on at the fair.” While this is a blow to the community as a whole, this will be an especially big hit to local organizations that use the fair as a major fundraising opportunity. “Those organizations were very much dependent upon income from the fair to operate for the coming year,” Strauch said. “I think they will be hurting because of that.” While the carnival rides and other mainstays of the fair will be absent come Sept. 10-13, there are still plans to have some entertainment around this time on the fairgrounds. It was announced previously that the locals are set to hit the fair stage in the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s production of “Peter Pan.” Also too, the fair royalty will be asked to serve another year.

Greene County White Hall nursing beats heat with water fun Days still scheduled in Carrollton Submitted photo
By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press As of now, organizers are planning to hold Greene County Days on Labor Day weekend Sept. 11-13 – at least in Carrollton. This will be the 37th year for the event which features vendor booths, food and a multitude of yard sales in almost every community in Greene County. “We are in the process of contacting our vendors about coming out to Greene County Days again this year, and most of them have already committed to coming,” Chairman Lynn Adcock said. “We don’t know what is going to happen, but right now, we are going ahead and planning for the event.” Adcock, who is a vendor herself, said she has been working on securing vendors for the event since last February. “I have 11 vendor agreements already in my hand and have 15 to 18 more that are coming but haven’t received their agreements yet,” she said. “Some are waiting ’til closer to the time of the event to make sure the virus doesn’t stop us.” There might be a lot of new vendors this year thanks to Adcock, who advertises the event at the various events she attends throughout the year. “When I’m at an event,
whether I am set up or not, I always go around to all the other vendors and ask them for a business card,” she said. “I have been calling them, and I expect that with everything else canceled, they might just be free and want to set up at our event.” The event will be held on the courthouse lawn. With most events throughout the state being canceled because of COVID-19 and the many vendors who are missing out on selling their wares, this year’s Greene County Days has the potential to be one of the biggest ones ever. “I’m certainly hoping we get a good turnout, and from the vendor responses I’ve gotten so far, it looks like we will,” Adcock said. “People are tired of sitting in their houses with nothing to go to or do. I know most of my events have been canceled, and I know other vendors, like myself, are getting very itchy – they want to do an event and that is what we do.” Adcock said that the Knights of Columbus will be cooking up their fish and fries this year, and there will be several other food vendors as well. There will be a DJ playing music throughout the day, and there will be games to keep the kids busy while the parents peruse the many booths that will be set up.

The first one didn’t bust, but Wyatt wasn’t so lucky with the second one. The staff seem to be rooting for Northcutt. All in all, over $200 was raised by the event, which residents, staff and family participated in.
During these hard times... great things are still happening at Jerseyville Estates
“I just wanted to recognize a few workers at Jerseyville Estates that I don’t know what I would do without. My mother, Rosalie at Jerseyville Estates has been a resident since February 2018. Tammy was so helpful when mom toured the facility. Elly Coonrod was helpful yesterday as well. Yesterday we had a meeting with Angie Uzzetta and she was so compassionate and kind to my mother. It is always genuine with Angie, Elly and Tammy. They help families make the best of a bad situation. Especially during the Covid pandemic.” ~ Mary Bartlett

COURT/PUBLIC NOTICE/MARK YOUR CALENDAR
Roodhouse man arrested in sting operation By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A Roodhouse man has been arrested after traveling to Carrollton to allegedly meet with what he thought were two young girls, ages 13 and 14, for sex. Mark R. Lockman was arrested on charges of traveling to meet a child, grooming and harmful material by law enforcement officers in the Carrollton Park on Aug. 6. KTS Predators, a local group whose members masquerade as young children in an effort to catch sexual predators targeting the youth for sex, contacted the Roodhouse Police about Lockman who was allegedly expecting to meet up with the two â&#x20AC;&#x153;young girlsâ&#x20AC;? at the Carrollton Park.
However, what he found waiting for him was a large contingent of police officers from several local police departments. Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross said the operation originated with the Roodhouse Police Department because the alleged predator was from that town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roodhouse Police Officer A.J. McAdams was contacted by these folks and began working the investigation from that end,â&#x20AC;? Chief Gross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ended up choosing the Carrollton Park as the location because it was situated such that we could control the environment. It was a textbook take down.â&#x20AC;? Officers from the Carrollton and Roodhouse Police Departments and the Greene County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Department surrounded the park, and when the suspect appeared, they moved in and secured the arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no issues whatsoever, and the general public was never in any danger. The closest civilian to the arrest was probably 150 yards away and they were members of KTS Predators who were videoing the arrest,â&#x20AC;? Gross said. Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison was on vacation with his family when the operation went down, but commented on the arrest Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After receiving information from KTS Predators, an investigation was begun by our department,â&#x20AC;? Robison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the investigation, a search warrant was obtained for the subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and we
worked with KTS and various law enforcement agencies to secure this arrest.â&#x20AC;? Robison said this case serves as a good reminder for parents to be aware at all times what their children, even teenagers, are doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monitor your children and help them make good decisions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watch out for the content that the smart phones and iPads are receiving.â&#x20AC;? Robison said they might not like the intrusion by their parents, but it is for their own good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be a parent, and if your child or teenager gets mad, they will get over it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are bad people in this world just waiting for an opportunity such as this. As human beings, we can suffer from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;illusion of
controlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; over any situation, but in reality, life is short and can change at any minute. Never take that for granted.â&#x20AC;? Robison said he would like to thank the law enforcement officers and departments who participated in this operation, including: Sgt. McAdams, Chief Gross, Chief John Goode from Greenfield, Chief Deputy Cale Hoesman with the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department and Carrollton Police Officer Aaron Mehrhoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a win-win for the public and a win-win for law enforcement,â&#x20AC;? Gross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to take a child predator off the street. In my personal opinion, it is a good solid case, and the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney was on board with everything, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foresee any issues with prosecution.â&#x20AC;?

You will need to evaluate what your (and your landlordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) needs are. Give us a call or stop by the ofďŹ ce by August 28, 2020 to give us your request. We will evaluate the requests and send a notice by mail no later than September 11, 2020. If more space is requested than we have room for, it will be prorated out. Hopefully this will help you plan ahead for harvest corn storage needs. Thank You,
