Greene sees spike in COVID-19 cases

By CARMEN ENSIGNER Greene Prairie Press Greene County has seen a huge spike in COVID-19 cases over the past couple weeks.

So much so that the county is one of 14 counties throughout the state which have been placed on the warning list. A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase.

Greene County is joined by Bureau, Cass, Clinton, Franklin, Grundy, Hancock, Jefferson, Kane, LaSalle, Moultrie, Perry, Union and Will.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, these counties saw cases or outbreaks associated with weddings, businesses, birthday parties, long-term care facilities and other settings such as bars, sports camps and spread among members of the same household.

In Greene County, the majority of the cases are in north Greene with 59 of the 78 total cases in the county situated in White Hall and Roodhouse. Roodhouse has a total of 33 cases while White Hall isn’t far behind with 26 cases. Carrollton has six cases. For a city to be listed on the IDPH website, there must be at least five cases within that zip code. There were five additional cases added Tuesday morning.

Public health officials are seeing people in some communities not wearing masks, or if they are, they are being worn incorrectly.

Local health departments are finding it challenging to obtain the information necessary to stop the local transmission of the virus by identifying exposure from contacts of cases and businesses.

In some communities where there is little public concern for consequences or enforcement of social distancing, banning large gatherings or quarantine or isolation order, transmission is ongoing. “It is really important that if you have contracted the virus or been near someone who has tested positive that you quarantine at home,� Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said. “That is necessary because the people most at risk are

those who are immune compromised, have comorbidity issues or the elderly. Even though your symptoms might be mild, their symptoms might be severe.�

IDPH uses numerous indicators when determining if a county is experiencing stable COVID-19 activity, or if there are warning signs of increased COVID-19 risk in the county: Q New cases per 100,000 people — If there are more than 50 new cases per 100,000 people in the county, this triggers a warning.

Q Number of deaths — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly number of deaths increases more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Weekly test positivity — This metric indicates a warning when the 7-day test positivity rate rises above 8 percent.

Q ICU availability — If there are fewer than 20 percent of intensive care units available in the region, this triggers a warning.

Q Weekly emergency department visits — This metric indicates a warning when the weekly percent of COVID-19-like-illness emergency department visits increase by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Weekly hospital admissions — A warning is triggered when the weekly number of hospital admissions for COVID-19-like-illness increases by more than 20 percent for two consecutive weeks.

Q Tests performed — This metric is used to provide context and indicate if more testing is needed in the county.

Q Clusters — This metric looks at the percent of COVID-19 cases associated with clusters or outbreaks and is used to understand large increase in cases.

Greene County currently has a positivity rate of 8.9 percent compared to Jersey with a positivity rate of only 6.3 percent, well under the 8 percent threshold.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced that Region 4, which includes Madison County (Greene is in Region 3) will have new restrictions and mitigation efforts to halt the spread of the virus. Madison is sitting right at the 8 percent positivity rate.

Down she goes Roodhouse city crews have been busy recently taking down the old bank building and what used to be Frank Hopkin’s apartment building. Both buildings collapsed earlier this year. Crews at the South Shop have been spending the summer tearing down old vacant buildings and reworking sidewalks to help beautify the city. The old bank building still had the original steel safe inside, which the crane was able to pull out and save.

Tour of new space

Dr. Randy Voigts gives a tour of the new JCH HealthCare Clinic last week. The Roodhouse clinic, which opened on March 30, contains eight exam rooms, a community room as well as the ability to do ultrasound imaging and X-rays. Jersey Community Hospital used grant funding to purchase the building and much of the equipment in what used to be the Whistle Stop Market.

Finances looking shaky at Carrollton

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press arrollton Superintendent Mark Halwachs gave the school board some distressing news regarding this year’s budget at Monday night’s meeting. “In the education fund, we potentially could deficit spend by over $300,000,� he said. “The other fund of concern is the transportation fund. The Illinois State Board of Education told us back in May not to expect to get all of the categoricals for transportation – we might get half of them.�

Halwach said the other funds are contingent upon what comes in from the tax levy. “With the pandemic and people paying their taxes later, we won’t know for sure where we are at,� he said. “The biggest fund source in the education fund is the Evidence Based Funding. There are concerns that could be down by 10 percent, which is really going to hurt us in that fund. Plus, we are going to lose 50 percent off the top in transportation from the State of Illinois. I have major concerns about this coming year.�

Another thing that will hurt the district is if parents decide to home school their children amid COVID-19 concerns.

The district will lose approximately $7,000 per student in Evidence Based Funding which would have a significant impact on the district.

Halwachs informed the board that he had been talking with a contractor about potentially building a softball diamond on school grounds. “He looked at some potential areas and wanted to do a survey to see if there was enough space at the high school,� he said. “Also, there is some land next to the high school which could be bought.�

However, he said he wanted to get direction from the board before continuing. “When the surveyors come, out it is probably going to get expensive really fast,� Halwachs said. “What are your opinions on it – do you want to move forward or wait?�

Board member Tammy Weber wants to see the district pursue it. “I feel like we need to be checking into it,� she said. “We have talked about it for the last three or four years.�

Board member Vicki Schnelten agreed. “I agree with you that it needs to be looked into,� she said. “However, I think it should be put on hold for a little bit until we see what our finances are going to look like this year.�

The board approved Kohl Wholesale to supply groceries for the cafeteria as they were the only company to submit a bid. They also approved seeking fuel bids for the upcoming school year.

The board will also apply for the Three Circles Grant again this year. This grant provides an additional 400 hours of pay for the district ag teacher for work done outside the classroom such as with FFA. The grant will cover 50 percent of the cost. Board Chairman Rodney Reif said the program will not cost the district anything however, as donations would be paying for the other half of the salary.

The board approved several donations for the coming school year. Tim Reif donated a piano to the school. The Booster Club donated bags for the students. Pharmacy Plus donated masks and Carrollton Township donated masks and bottled water.

Census numbers still low for county

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County residents are being urged to take 10 minutes and fill out the 2020 census.

While the state average is 68.4 percent of the households reporting, the average for Greene County is only 59.4 percent, meaning around 40 percent of the households in the county have not yet responded. “This will have a major impact on our county for the next 10 years,� Greene County Public Health Administrator Molly Peters said. “Funding for our towns, schools, roads, health departments, police and fire departments, first responders, meal assistance and much more is dependent on the census count.�

In a breakdown of the percentage of households in each community self-responding, Carrollton is in the lead with 68.5 percent followed by Greenfield with 67.2 percent and White Hall with 66.1 percent.

Others include: WIllimington, 63.4 percent; Athensville, 56.8 percent; Roodhouse, 56.5 percent; Bluffdale, 55.2 percent; Eldred, 50.4 percent; Wrights, 45.6 percent; Kane, 41.9 percent; Walkerville, 40.5 percent; Patterson, 39.4 percent;

“Please do your part to help your community by completing your census today.�

Molly Peters Greene County Public Health Administrator Rockbridge, 32.6 percent and Hillview, 27.8 percent.

Interestingly, the population of Greene County has dropped 6.6 percent since April 1, 2010 compared to July 1, 2019. The county population has dropped from 13,886 in 2010 to 12,969 in 2018 for a loss of 917 individuals.

Going back even further to the 2000 census, Greene County lost 875 residents for a 5.9 percent loss.

Jersey County saw a 6.1 percent increase in population from 2000 to 2010 with an increase of 1,317 residents. However, that was countered by a 5.4 percent loss from 2010 to 2019 when they lost 1,237 residents.

Federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and municipalities are based on population totals and breakdowns by sex, age, race and other factors.

By responding to the census, a person is helping their community get its fair share of the more than $675 billion per year in federal appropriations.

These funds are distributed to schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs.

Businesses also benefit from the data collected from the census. This data is used to decide where to build factories, offices and stores which in turn creates jobs. Developers use the information to build new homes and revitalize neighborhoods.

At the local level, governments use this data for public safety and emergency preparedness along with receiving revenue through the Local Government Distributive Fund, Motor Fuel Tax, Personal Property Replacement Tax and others.

For those who have not self-responded to the census either by filling out the form, calling 844330-2020 to do it over the phone or going to the 2020census.gov to do it, census workers will start knocking on doors this week. “Please do your part to help your community by completing your census today,� Peters said.

Carrollton, Illinois

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Reminiscing over hilarious golf experience with Larry Hilarious!

That's always the only word that comes to mind when I think of Larry's first golf experience.

He was invited to meet his brother-in-law at a golf course while on vacation. They met at the club and proceeded to pay for the round when he was met by a gentleman who had a British accent. With nose slightly pointed to the sky, the gentleman kindly let Larry know that he would not be able to wear his tank top while playing. (I'm already laughing) Larry, stunned, (not only because he was an "Amuricun" and a Tennessean), proceeded to let the gentleman know that he would just purchase one of their shirts. After browsing the selection, he quickly realized that his wife would not be pleased if he took his house payment and used it on one shirt. He returned, still sporting his tank top, and told the gentleman that he could not pay so much for a shirt.

So, once again, using his nose as an aiming device, he let Larry know that he could rent a shirt. Larry said great, and handed the man $10. To which the clerk replied, "Sir, we can-

not take cash. We must have a credit card in case you do not return the shirt."

Larry pulled out his credit card (to the surprise of the gentleman) and paid for the rented shirt and then walked around the eighteen hole golf course, for five hours, with a shirt on that read, "This shirt, property of [a] golf club."

Nah, I actually made up that part about what the shirt said.

Now you know why I say hilarious!

I don't want to take us down from the humor of this story too much. It is what it is. And it really has given me a good laugh for the better part of twenty years. But I just couldn't help but wonder how many times we church folk come across as this British gentleman.

First of all, we assume that everybody knows what we do and how we do it. We think they know when to stand up, sit down, and what to do with that little cup and that little white tasteless saltine. But not only do we assume everyone should know, even worse, we stop people at the door with our unbiblical attendance requirements.

Unfortunately m a n y churches h a v e made it harder to get into their building than into God's kingdom. But just because this is the case, it doesn't give us license to neglect it. Just find one that doesn't do this — or change yours. Maybe put a sign up that says, "Tank Tops Welcome."

The irony of this story is that Larry's dad first came to the church I pastored many years ago. He was a cussing sailor.

I remember the first Sunday he was there. He sat on the second row… in a tank top. A few months later he became a follower of Jesus Christ.

That may not be hilarious, but isn't that amazing?

Just thinking about the world as we knew it As I’m sitting here contemplating another birthday in the very near future – like a little over a week – I’m looking at how dramatically life has changed in the last six months.

I’ve been doing this job for 16 years – council meetings, school board meetings, sporting events, county fairs, picnics, truck pulls, burgoos, Christmas parades, visits with Santa. You name it; I have covered it at least a dozen times.

It was March, and I was so looking forward to my Cher concert in April when my, and everyone else’s, world came crashing down.

From out of nowhere, this pesky little virus called COVID-19 emerged and basically shut down the world as we know it.

Over the course of a mere week, we saw the schools and basically everything but the gas stations and stores shut down. No one will ever forget the great toilet paper run of 2020 – when people would literally fight over a roll of toilet paper or paper towels.

I never have quite figured that out yet.

Lucky for me, when I found toilet paper and towels marked down at Kroger, I stocked up.

That is the only way I can afford to live – to stock up when stuff is 50 percent off. I’m still eating on vegetables I stocked up on in 2015.

For the record, they do tend to eat through the cans after five years – I’m finding that out now unfortunately.

When we opened up again, I remember the one thing that I wanted most was a haircut. It’s funny how something so mundane can become so very important when it is taken away from us.

It forces us to look at what is really most important in our life. Stores were still open – we just had to wait outside maybe a few minutes to get in – but the mere fact that things were different was scary for everyone.

Shelves in stores were stripped of everything because no one knew what the future held.

Would there be food in the future. Who knew?

Life, as we knew it, was changing every single day.

Then, like magic, the day came when the world opened up to us again – well kinda.

I know the biggest thing for me was to go eat Chinese again. After four months, I was in heaven. Suddenly, everything was right in the world again. But was it?

I had to do some intensive research on the Spanish Flu, which was very similar to COVID19, and the one thing that stood out was that there was several phases of the virus. When you thought it was over, it was just waiting to pounce.

Unfortunately, that same scenario has become a reality. Positive cases are popping up with a vengeance just like they did in 1918.

For some people, this virus is nothing more than a bad cold, but for others, it is a death sentence – just like it was in 1918. Lots of peo-

ple survived that virus, but many also died from it – sometimes entire families.

Regardless, 2020 has been a year when the world, as we know it, stopped turning. It might not be as dramatic as 2001 with 9-11, but it surely ranks up there with one of the worst years Much Ado of the century.

About There are those who say it is just a hoax and Nothing that, like the chicken pox, BY CARMEN everyone just needs to get ENSINGER it and get over it, but I don’t agree. I remember seeing, as a child, commercials about a woman dragging her child into a home quarantined because of chicken pox so they could get it and get it over with.

I’m sorry, but living alone, with furbabies who depend on me… I don’t feel comfortable exposing myself to some virus that might kill me.

I’m not going to pitch a fit about wearing a mask, and I’m not going to rally about it taking away my rights. All I want is for life to return back to normal.

Unfortunately, my relatives and their bad habits have affected my future.

I have never even smoked a single cigarette or even taken a single puff of one, or anything else for that matter, yet, according to the medical professionals, I have the beginning stages of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

My mother died of that. She, my aunt and my grandfather were all smokers. I am now suffering the consequences of being around their second hand smoke.

There are many Sundays I remember us going to Marion to eat at Long John Silvers and me suffering through the suffocating smoke during the 20-minute drive. I never realized 40 years down the road it would affect me.

I’m sure my mother, who loved me more than life itself, would have never thought that her smoking a pack or two a day would ultimately affect my health.

From the moment I was born, I always hated the habit of smoking. I could not stand it. I remember making my mom roll down the window, even in winter, if she was smoking.

The weekly outings with my grandparents, with a grandfather who was a chain smoker, was a particular challenge.

Don’t get me wrong, when I close my eyes and think back to my younger days when my mom and I were sitting at that kitchen table, I can still smell that stale cigarette smoke, and I came to associate her memory with it. It was a different time that no one who didn’t grow up during that time can relate to.

COVID-19

(Continued from A1) The new restrictions include the closing of bars, restaurants and casinos in the region by 11 p.m.; the closing of all party buses and the reduction of gathering sizes to 25 people or 25 percent of room capacity – whichever is lower.

These restrictions will remain in place for 14 days, and if the number of cases does not

drop, it could lead to more drastic restrictions including the closing of indoor bars and dining.

Greene County will remain on the warning list for at least one more week. Peters said the information given out by the IDPH is a week behind and since there was an increase in cases for the past several weeks, the county will remain at warning level.

City of Carrollton makes equipment purchases

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council members at their Aug. 13 meeting approved several purchases of needed equipment at various locations.

Public Works Director Steve Rosentreter said that the check valve went out at the booster station and needed replaced.

“This one was installed in 2019, and Illinois Electric Works said they will send it off to the factory to get us a new one,” he said. “This is something we need. They gave us a bid of $1,162, plus freight to remove and install at $1,150 for a total of $2,312.”

Rosentreter said he thinks the city crew might be able to install it, but the council needed to approve the entire amount in case they aren’t able to.

Rosentreter also asked for the council to approve the purchase of a laser level for the city.

“We talked last meeting about this,” he said. “The level we have now is a 1950’s model, and it takes 10 minutes to just get it set up and then most of the time it is not accurate.”

After doing some searching, Rosentreter said he found a very good model for $675, which the council agreed to purchase using funds from the general fund.

The storm well pump at the lift station on Old Barn Lane went out right before the meeting last month. There are two pumps in the storm basin – one with 3,200

hours on it and one with 1,900 hours on it.

The one with 1,900 hours on it is the one that went out.

“This is the first time to replace either one,” Rosentreter said. “Illinois Electric bid us one at $3,748.60, or they can rebuild ours for $2,384. I contacted another company, and it’s the same brand, but their price is $3,347 for a new one. Our guys will do the work of putting it in.”

The city is advertising for a part-time employee for the street department.

The council approved Benton and Associates to prepare a water production cost analysis for an increase in the bulk water rates for rural water customers.

In the comment portion of the meeting, Kenny Isringhausen addressed the council about his new business on the square and said he wanted to clear up some misconceptions about what he is selling at Jack and Jill Mercantile.

The business sells custom made drinking cups, broadheads, birdhouses, various other crafts on consignment and even has a travel agency located inside. The items in question, however, are CBD products.

“There has been a lot of confusion about what I’m doing,” Isringhausen said.

“I am a licensed CBD processor in the State of Illinois. Back in January, I started making some products. These products come from the hemp plant – it is no marijuana. THC is from the marijuana plant.

People have all sorts of misconceptions about it so please just have them come over and talk to me about it.”

Courts looking at alternatives to traditional trials

By BILL HOAGLAND In a previous column, we discussed why traditional jury trials will be problematic during the pandemic.

The truth is that we desperately need to come up with an acceptable solution for this issue or law and order as we know it will never be the same. That impacts all of us.

Courts throughout the country are now experimenting with ways to find that acceptable solution. But as of August 12, the date I am writing this column, there have been no criminal jury trials, and only a handful of “civil” jury trials in places where the pandemic risks are high.

A few courts recently attempted to conduct remote jury trials, meaning trials in which the jury is sequestered in their individual homes participating as a group via Zoom. Those courts attempting a remote jury trial have run into a number of problems, starting with the fact that some jurors cannot even effectively utilize Zoom in order to participate. Then there is the matter of jurors sitting at home (or still in bed) getting distracted by cell phones, barking dogs, screaming children and so on.

And if we are attempting to rely on the internet to connect everyone, we also necessarily have hackers, slow internet speeds and yes, even pornography showing up on the Zoom screen, as recently occurred during a remote jury trial in Dallas.

In short, conducting a remote jury trial is turning out to be problematic and as to criminal trials, probably unconstitutional for a lot of reasons.

The biggest overall problem with a remote jury trial is the fact that members of the jury cannot bond during the course of the trial. Bonding is an extremely important part of the jury process.

Jurors need that bonding time in order to properly respect the opinions of each juror so that as a group, they can think logically and arrive at a rational result. Attempting to do this via Zoom will not get it done in my view.

For these reasons, some courts want jury trials to be conducted at the courthouse.

If it can be done safely, this frankly makes the most sense.

We have already touched on the logistic problems of getting everyone on the same page via Zoom. But beyond that, it could get expensive for a local venue having to furnish jurors with suitable computers and internet service at home so that they can participate remotely.

Unfortunately, jurors working from home need to be closely monitored throughout the trial to be sure they are paying attention to the evidence and not taking a snooze, watching television, or chasing kids around the house.

This means extra court personnel would be needed to do that monitoring via Zoom.

So here is what some courts are proposing for conducting jury trials at the courthouse during the pandemic: First, questionnaires would be mailed to all prospective jurors so as to eliminate those who, for a variety of reasons, would be automatically excused from jury duty; this step is done without any jurors having to come to the courthouse.

Once the jurors are reduced to those willing and able to serve, the remaining jurors would be brought to the courthouse for voir dire, the process by which they are selected to hear a particular case. At this point in the proceedings, the jurors would be spread out by placing some in the jury box and placing the rest out in the audience section of the courtroom, separated from each other by plastic panels.

The jurors during voir dire would be questioned individually either without masks or while wearing a plastic shield over their faces so that the attorneys could see facial expressions during this process. During the times they are not being questioned, they would be required to wear their face masks. The judge would be seated behind the bench and the lawyers would be seated at the counsel tables behind plastic panels.

Ridge Runn

CH RO NI CL ES

Once the jurors were selected for a particular trial, they would remain seated in the same spot for the trial itself.

Most witnesses would be brought into the courtroom and seated on the witness stand or at the counsel tables, facing the jury and testifying from behind a plastic panel but without a mask so that the jury gets to fully observe their facial expressions during their testimony.

Some witnesses, of course, would be testifying via Zoom or video. Once the testimony is completed, the jury would receive jury instructions from the court, final arguments would be made with the lawyers still behind the plastic panels, and the case would then be turned over to the jury to decide the factual issues.

At that point, the jurors would remain in the courtroom, still separated from each other by plastic panels and still wearing masks, for the purpose of deliberating the issues; everyone else would leave the courtroom. Once the jury reached a verdict, the parties, lawyers and court personnel would be reassembled in the court room for the verdict.

Let’s hope this works. Otherwise, there could be a lot of criminals who wind up not getting prosecuted.

Note: A trial at the courthouse presumes that pandemic safeguards would be in place for all personnel entering the courthouse. And because of safety concerns, it is unlikely that the public would be allowed to sit in the courtroom during the trial.

Illinoisans receive funding for emergency rental assistance

By BETH ZUMWALT Greene Prairie Press A program announced on Aug. 10 could help tenants who have fallen behind in their rent due to COVID-19. But the window to apply is tight. The final day to apply is Friday, Aug. 21.

According to Natalie Roseberry, who sits on the Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials, which services some of the counties immediately north of Greene, the application process is easy.

Once you have determined if you meet the income threshold, can prove you suffered a loss of income due to COVID-19 and missed a rent payment on or after March 1, you can apply.

“Go to www.era.idha.org and enter your name, e-mail, zip code and household income,” Roseberry said. “The next step is enter information about your household, landlord and rent.”

Robbery said the a government issued photo ID will need to be uploaded to the site.

“If the address on the ID does not match the application, proof of a current address must be uploaded,” she said. “You must click the finish button to submit the application.”

Also included on the www.era.ihda. org site is a list of agencies and contact

information to assist with the application process.

For this area, it is Two Rivers Regional Council of Public Officials, 107 N. 3rd Street, Quincy, 217-221-6236 or The Salvation Army in Belleville, 20 Glory Place, Belleville, 618-2357378.

Once the tenant completes the application, the landlord must also provide information such as a tenant lease, tax bill or deed, tenant ledger, rent roll, five-day notice e-mail or other proof of rent past due. There is also a question portion and landlords will have to provide some financial information.

“Funds are limited,” Jeremy Oshner, executive director of the TRRCPO, said.

“We have had many applicants, but there are some limited spots still available.”

There is a $5,000 cap per application.

The Emergency Mortgage Assistance program, which is set to launch Aug. 24 will not be affected by the rent extension.

Both funds are scheduled to receive 150 million in federal CARES Act funding.

Unfortunately, the IDHA only anticipates being able to fund roughly 30,000 tenants, meaning the state will have to secure more funding if they want to be able to help more renters.

TriCounty FS goes curbside

By MEAGAN MCGLASSON Greene Prairie Press Starting Monday, Aug. 17, members of the public that have business with any of the TriCounty FS offices will have to call rather than just show up at the offices.

The decision is one that mirrors that of other business around Greene County and beyond. “We’ve changed the policy because of the governor’s order, and we just did it as an extra precaution,�

TriCounty FS General Manager Jim Milleville said. “What spurred us to do this was the latest outbreak and the latest announcement from the governor’s office and Jersey

County.�

While cases continue to rise across the region, TriCounty FS is one of many local businesses that made the decision to change their business model out of an abundance of caution for both their staff and the customers that they serve. “Our customers are important to us, and so is their health and safety,�

Milleville said.

Just because the business model is changing doesn’t mean their quality of service or services they offer will. “If you want to see a product, we’ll bring it out to you, or if you want to drop a check off, we got a payment slot. If you want to pick something up, just give us a call or

knock on the door. It’s business as usual,� Milleville said. “But we’re just limiting the access for now.

Hopefully this will be lifted soon, and we can get back to normal.�

TriCounty FS has offices in Calhoun, Jersey and Greene counties and offers services in agronomy, animal nutrition, fueling and lawn care among others.

TriCounty FS customers wanting to call ahead of a visit or who need assistance are encouraged to call the Carrollton office at 217-942-6926, Greenfield office at 217-368-2916, White Hall office at 217-374-2151, Roodhouse office at 217-589-4528 or the Jerseyville home office at 498-5534.

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news Pastor Carl opened with announcements and prayer. Sister Jean played piano for us. We appreciate her so much! Bro. Brag led our singing. Bro. Gordan sang “It Is No Secret.�

Message: “The Compromising Church�

Scripture: Revelation 2:12-17 The Word of God is our book of life.

It is to bring salvation or death. We either chose to accept Christ or to deny Him. We have been looking at the spirit of the churches. Are you in line with what God wants? The Word of God is the only source of truth. So much wisdom in Gods word. Anything that is not the truth is a lie. How much time

do you spend in God’s word, studying its verses. What do you listen to on the news? God can and will heal our land if we only pray unto Him. There is nothing He cannot do.

We should be sharing the love of Jesus. Sharing your testimony, to give our God, glory and honor. Your testimony may be the testimony they need to hear, to see and to accept Jesus Christ as their savior.

Pray for one another, lift one another up in prayer and love one another. We are given a white stone when we are saved, meaning a clean slate. And, our sins are cast as far as the East is from the West — never to be remembered no more.

He will use us to bring our friends, family and loved ones to Him. Sin is not a disease, because when we call it sin, we take away the accountability of God. Saying the person cannot help it, because it is a disease he has. God can and will remove this if we only let Him. We are not a slave to sin when we accept Him. We are a new creature in Christ. We are no longer a slave to sin and bondage. You are a child of the King. He wants us to grow the Kingdom. He will send laborers to do the work He has created for us to do.

Repent for the Kingdom of God draweth nigh.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle — 473-1892 What a nice Lord’s day it is.

Our God is an amazing God. He gives us blessings after blessings, and how many times do we stop and thank Him for even one? Thank you, heavenly father, for all you have provided for me and my family. I thank my God daily for our church family and their faithfulness to Him and to their church family.

Our text this morning was from 2 Peter 3:1-18. Peter wrote his letter to Christians in northern Asia Minor,

who were apparently facing severe persecution because of their faith.

Peter tells his readers to “know in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following their own lusts.�

This is so very true today.

I saw this, red delicious apple Christianity verses mockers who shine like red delicious apples but their fruit is spoiled with mocking and ridicule.

I invite you to read these verses and ask God to lead you to someone who needs to be lifted up.

Our recent prayer requests are: Dan

as he undergoes tests, Harold, Jane, Tina, Amber, Vera and Bob, Bob’s sister, death in the family, our nation and our leaders, George and Sandy and praise for Greg that is able to return to work. We are collecting nonperishable food items for the North Greene Food Pantry.

Our Wednesday evening Bible study will resume in September. We invite you to join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. for our worship service. The church is wiped down.

Masks, handshakes, hugs and social distance are your choice.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.�

Romans 8:28 NIV

W

e’ve all had experiences that seem amazing, even providential, as if God himself is sending us a message via these experiences. It’s natural to think of these as messages from a benevolent God, and it’s just as easy to turn them around and say that it was just a coincidence. But sometimes it strains our credulity to think of these experiences as mere coincidences. I had an experience recently where I purchased a daily devotional book at a used bookstore, since I have for many years enjoyed the habit of spending time with spiritual readings in the morning and this one looked interesting. It was one of those books that has a nice leather cover and a silk ribbon affixed to the binding to mark the page. When I got it home and opened it, I was quite surprised to find that the ribbon was placed on the page

corresponding to my Birthday! If that wasn’t a sign that God wanted me to have this book, I don’t know what would have been. And as far as coincidences, there was a 1 in 365 chance that it would be placed on my exact birthday, so it really felt meaningful to me. At the very least, this book will have a special place in my heart for that very reason. These signs from God are important. They make us feel like someone (Someone indeed!) is thinking about us, and looking out for us, and trying to let us know that we are loved and cared for.

Look for God in the everyday details of your life, because He is there. – Christopher Simon

Carrollton opts for in-person learning

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton School Board convened a special meeting on Aug. 12 with the main subject being whether or not to start the school year with in-person learning with students and teachers in the classroom or continue with remote learning.

The public was given an opportunity to speak before the discussion was taken to closed session.

Laina Mullink, who will be a senior this year, asked the board to please consider getting the kids back into the classroom.

“I just feel like I didn’t learn anything remotely,” she said. “That is going to leave us behind and unprepared for college. I want to go back to school. Please try in-person

learning before going to remote.”

Diana Varble, who has an 8-year-old son, also urged the district to start the school year with in-person learning.

“As a parent, I feel like I need to address this,” she said. “Parents had a choice to make of doing remote or in-person, so please don’t take our choice away. Each parent has their own reason for doing in-person education and those reasons vary.

“Some are worried about academics.

Others have both parents working, and some parents look at it as a baby sitter for their children. Some parents just crave the routine. Others are worried about their child’s mental health, being isolated, and some parents just can’t make their child listen.

Parents didn’t go to school to be teachers.

“We are in Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois

plan, and I encourage this district to provide in-school instruction to all students.”

However, Health Department Administrator Molly Peters, via an email that Superintendent Mark Halwachs read, urged the board rethink in-person learning.

“With the recent surge in cases, we thought it would be important to send updates,” she said. “There are over 200 individuals in quarantine right now and expanded outbreaks. While most of these cases are in the North Greene School District, many live in that area but work in other towns. To say the risk of exposure is limited to that area is false.”

In-person learning will put a lot of pressure on the schools, she indicated.

“It will be the district’s sole responsibility to assess symptoms and evaluate a student or

Downtown Country Christmas announces Bright Nights; additional festival info

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Greene Prairie Press It comes as no surprise that the Downtown County Christmas Festival has announced a scaled-back version of their annual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic; nevertheless, they haven’t scaled back on their usual high dose of creativity.

Festival President Michael Ward has announced that there will be an additional element to the festival that will remain all through the Christmas season.

“Last year, we had three windows decorated around downtown Jerseyville. One of our volunteers posted about them on social media, which received responses from people who remembered visiting stores like Famous Barr in St. Louis years ago. We wanted to bring an element of that to our small town to make it our own unique tradition,” Ward said.

That social media post from last year led Ward and some of his fellow volunteers to come up with Bright Nights.

Currently, 20 businesses in the historic business district of Jerseyville have committed to participating, and it’s anticipated that plenty more will soon sign up. But, this event is designed for more than just businesses.

“We’d like to include private homes in this event as well,” Ward said. “We hope that a lot of people

get involved with it this year to really make it something attractive for our community while allowing people to have family fun from the comfort of their car.”

The idea behind bringing back this bit of nostalgia is to encourage visitors to come to town, see the storefront windows and private homes lit up, then visit local restaurants and other businesses.

“We will be stressing social distance guidelines throughout the holiday season,” Ward said. “We absolutely do not want this virus to spread, but we are aiming to get revenue generated throughout the local businesses in the community.”

Those private homes who choose to participate in Bright Nights will be entered in the Light Up Your House contest, which is something new the festival is adding this year strictly for private residents who participate.

For businesses, the festival is maintaining the Light Up Your Business contest.

Homes and businesses that participate are expected to have their display ready to go by Nov. 28, the day of the festival, and maintain it through the Christmas season.

Some businesses that have already chosen to participate have reached out to the Downtown Country Christmas Festival asking for them to decorate their windows for them, and the festival is working on obtain-

ing sponsorships for those windows.

“People have asked us how they can help us without being physically present to volunteer, such as grandparents who can’t help because they’re with their grandchildren on the day of the festival. How they can help is through donations,” Ward said.

The festival board has come up with an online Amazon wish list, which they will be publishing on their Facebook page, that contains items they need to decorate storefront windows.

“This provides an opportunity for folks to be involved, but not directly volunteer, due to COVID19 concerns and time constraints during the holiday season,” Ward said. “We hate asking for donations during this time, but we hope that the community will work alongside us to provide some level of financial assistance as we work to provide some holiday cheer during this upcoming Christmas season, which, given this year’s circumstances, we desperately need.”

Those businesses and private residences who are interested in participating in Bright Nights are encouraged to contact the festival through their Facebook page.

Ward also has more information concerning what this year’s Downtown Country Christmas Festival will look like.

Jerseyville resurfacing, temporary parking suspension coming soon The State of Illinois’s appointed contractor for the State Street resurfacing work has indicated that the project will begin Aug. 24, according to the Jersey County Business Association (JCBA).

The first section to be worked on will be from the north edge of Jerseyville, south to Route 16 or Carpenter Street. It is expected that work on this section of road will mean that parking is temporarily suspended on State Street while the works are being done.

The contractor has indicated that work will start on Monday, Aug. 24, with parking suspension possible from Sunday, Aug. 23. Work is likely to continue through the

week, until Friday, Aug. 28.

Businesses on State Street that are located north of Route 16 and Carpenter Street should plan for disruption during this time frame. There will likely be a single lane of traffic in each direction, and no parking on State Street for the entire week.

It is expected that the south portion will also take at least a week and also be temporarily disruptive to business.

The City of Jerseyville has no control over this work, and this is an IDOT project. As a courtesy however, the City of Jerseyville is also doing its part to inform residents of the works and has asked the JCBA to help get this information out.

“Basically what we’re doing is a much smaller version of the festival,” Ward said.

The festival board is monitoring the COVID-19 situation daily in the area to see what can and cannot happen at this year’s festival, but they’ve been working hard at making their annual event as “COVID-proof” as possible.

The festival this year will be centered around the courthouse square and the immediately surrounding area and promises to maintain social distance precautions in the most detailed way.

“We’re changing everything,” Ward said. “Kids won’t be getting individual prizes at the games this year.

Instead, they will go around and still play games, but their prizes all come at the end of their play time, when they will get a prize bag, so as to minimize contact.”

Ward and his fellow volunteers are still working out the details to many elements of the festival, developing solutions to make the festival viable and safe.

“So long as our region stays below the eight percent mark in our COVID-19 cases, it’s looking like we’ll be able to provide the kids and their families with some good memories this year,” Ward said.

teacher’s need to leave school,” Peters said.

“Does the district have resources to be able to maintain an individual on quarantine?”

Peters said that in rural communities, resources are limited.

“The road to opening will be difficult if that is the direction you choose to take,” she said. “There will be increased cases… The district must decide the risks and benefits.

Everyone wants students back to school. We do know this will continue to be the most difficult decision to make.”

Following a closed session, board member John Schild made a motion to start the school year with 100 percent remote learning. No other board member would second the motion which would have brought it up for a vote, so the motion died for a lack of a second.

Tiger Tales Greenfield schools are back in session!

Hope everyone has had a safe, healthy summer break and is ready to get back at it. The first day for students is Thursday, Aug. 20. Greenfield schools will be dismissing early until further notice; the elementary school will dismiss at 1:45 p.m. and the high school will dismiss at 1:50 p.m.

From 1:50-3:30 p.m., teachers will be available to work with those students who have chosen to learn remotely. Communication will be the key, and we encourage all families to reach out if they

need assistance. Resources are available on the Greenfield district website (greenfieldschools.org) under the Remote Learning tab.

All students who are learning in person are required to have masks on while in the buildings. We request that students come with their own masks as we do not have enough to provide every student with a mask every day.

Best of luck to the junior high baseball and softball teams that have started their seasons.

Have a great week – go get ‘em, Tigers!

Carrollton, Illinois

Roodhouse medical center gets official ribbon cutting

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Jersey Community Hospital held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 11 for its new, state-of-the-art facility in Roodhouse.

JCH HealthCare opened for business on March 30 in what used to be the Whistle Stop Market. Prior to opening in this new location, JCH had a location on the square; however, they had outgrown this location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really needed more room because we had added another provider, and we wanted to expand some of the services that we are going to offer here in Roodhouse,â&#x20AC;?

JCH CEO Beth King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This opportunity came open with this building, and we decided to make an investment in the community and healthcare.â&#x20AC;?

Another reason was the former location was outdated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the other reasons why I think, strategically, why we wanted to invest in this market was to have a more modern clinic,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This location is a little more accessible for our handicapped patients, and now, we are able to do the expanded services.â&#x20AC;?

King said all of this was made possible through several different USDA grants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our financial team did an exceptional job working to secure these grants, which was the primary focus for the building,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We received a $150,000 grant towards the capital acquisition of this building as well as grants to help with the telehealth, ultrasound and X-ray.

They funded about 75 percent of those costs. Without those grants, we would not be able to offer these services.â&#x20AC;?

King said the ultrasound imaging services will be provided two days a week and will eventually be expanded in the very near future.

The building, itself, received a total transformation on the inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once this building came on the market and we received the grant funding, it was about a year and a half for this to become a reality,â&#x20AC;?

Vice President of Physician Services John Giertz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what makes JCH do so well is that we have got so many good folks that have expertise in the different areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin Goss was our vice president of administration and really took on the project, and with Beth (King) and all the work from the financial team and from the leadership team and from my group, which is the medical group side, we were able to work together and design a good flow that was very handicap accessible with wide hallways and really have a modern clinic to work from.â&#x20AC;?

The tele-health room will allow patients to see a specialist from afar helping them with barriers to travel and time.

There are a total of eight exam rooms along with a community room which Giertz said hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been used very much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the clinic opening up during the middle of COVID, we have not really been able to do a whole lot with that space,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at some point when things settle down a little, we will be able to have a meeting space for some community needs.â&#x20AC;?

The decision to open during a pandemic turned out to be a good one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first, we were con-

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Watch out for hornworm caterpillars on tomatoes

Several different types of caterpillars will feed on tomatoes.

The most well-known, and probably most dreaded, are the tomato (Manduca quinquemaculata) and tobacco (Manduca sexta) hornworms. These large (up to 4 inches long) green caterpillars have a prominent â&#x20AC;&#x153;hornâ&#x20AC;? on their rear end and can do quite a bit of damage to tomato plants.

Hornworm damage usually begins happening in midsummer and will continue throughout the remainder of the growing season. Because of their size, they can quickly defoliate tomatoes and less commonly potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. They may also occasionally feed on green fruit.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely spot the damage caused by these caterpillars long before you see them.

Hornworms are often difficult to see because of their protective coloring. They also prefer to stay out of the heat and direct sunlight.

Therefore, they tend to feed on the interior of the plant during the day. They are more easily spotted when they move to the outside of the plant at dawn and dusk.

Another indication you may have hornworms is the accumulation of their large, black droppings (frass) on plants and the ground.

If you find one of these caterpillars, you may wonder which one you have? Tobacco hornworm caterpillars are generally green with seven diagonal white lines on their sides and have a curved red horn. The tomato hornworms have eight V-shaped marks on each side, and their horn is straighter and blue-black in color.

The tobacco hornworm is the most commonly seen of the two.

The adult moths emerge in mid-to-late spring. Females lay small, pearl-like eggs individually on tomato foliage and leaves of other hosts.

The caterpillars hatch and usually pass through five larval stages (instars) in about one month. Fully grown larvae pupate in the soil. There are typically two generations each summer, and larvae of the second generation will overwinter as pupae.

There are several different ways you can control these pests in your garden.

Hand-picking is a good way to control these caterpillars, especially in smaller plantings. Rototilling the soil after you are done growing for the year can also be an effective management strategy. It has been shown to destroy up to 90 percent of overwintering pupa. Pesticides can also be

used to manage these pests; make sure to read and follow all label directions.

Nature also does a good job of helping control populations of hornworms. A variety of different insects will eat eggs and small larvae. Small parasitic wasps also attack hornworm caterpillars. The wasps will lay eggs in the hornworm larvae, and when the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae will eat the insides of the caterpillar.

When the wasp larvae complete their development, they form white, silken cocoons on the outside of the

caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body (they are commonly misidentified as eggs). If you see parasitized hornworms in your garden, leave them be. The wasps that emerge may find other hornworms to parasitize.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: These hornworms are the larvae of hawk/sphinx/ hummingbird moths. The adults are often considered desirable since they are pollinators. If you want to have these moths around, grow a sacrificial tomato plant or two and move any caterpillars you find to them.
