By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press There is a new face roaming the halls of North Greene High School. Amanda Macias joined the North Greene administrative staff as the new principal at the junior and senior high schools.

Macias, a Jerseyville native, has been teaching in the Alton School District for the past 13 years. She received her administrator’s license in 2012. For the past five years she has been a substitute administrator and primary substitute administrator for the alternative school for the past three years.

North Greene gives Macias the chance to get back to her roots. “I think what kind of made me want to apply for the job at North Greene is because growing up in Jerseyville, I

was always close to Carrollton and North Greene,� she said. “I like the smaller, hometown feel and so when looking for different places to apply, I got on the website and looked around and just really kind of liked the feel of the area and it puts me a little closer to where I grew up. I just enjoy being a part of a community where everyone knows everyone and I get back to that hometown feel.�

Macias assumed her duties on Aug. 8 and said her biggest challenge has been learning what to prioritize. “When people come to me with things they need or issue or problems, I want to do what I can to help them,� she said. “I want to do what is going to help the students and I know that happy teachers make happy students, so I think prioritizing what my

Greenfield Superintendent Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said the additional amount was needed to make the gym more structurally sound. “We really weren’t sure what we were going to run into as far as the structure itself, but they decided 18 gauge steel needed to be added all the way around in order to attach the dry wall,� Bowman said. “It will solidify the building a little more. In order to take out a wall, we had to have some more steel beams put in to do that.�

Total cost of the project, which includes a new gym floor; new bleachers and 3,000-foot additional and renovation of the entire gym will be around $670,000.

Bowman said the new gym floor was being paid for using Health, Life, Safety funds.

Prior to the renovation, the gym was not a regulation gym so no basketball games could be played in it. Plus, there wasn’t enough seating. “Once in a while we would hold a junior high volleyball game in there and we always

Anticipated completion date for the project is Oct. 1.

Bowman presented the board with a tentative budget for next year, tentative being the key word. “Basically, for state revenue I put roughly what we had last year,� he said. “The state owes us roughly $100,000 from July 1. I advised the board that a loan from the working cash fund to the education fund may be necessary until Greene County real estate tax proceeds are received in September.�

To allow for a worst case scenario, expenditures were estimated on the high end while revenues were estimated on the low end.

Total expenditures for the coming year were figured at $5,208,000 while estimated total receipts are expected to be only $4,707,000. However, Bowman said those numbers don’t reflect the true finances of the district “You really can’t count the $579,000 in capital projects expenditures because we (See, GYM PROJECT, A3)

biggest tasks are that I have to do right now instead of getting caught up in all the little tasks is something I have to work on.�

One thing is certain, Macias is not afraid to get her hands dirty. “I will do anything that needs to be done — I’ll even take out the trash if they need me to,� she said. “The other day, I’m in a skirt and heels and ended up helping to move the library. I’m here to help out anyone who needs it.�

When asked if she had plans to do anything differently, she said there were two areas she wanted to tackle. “The disciplining procedure is going to be done a little bit differently to add some consistency between the middle and high schools,� Macias said. “There is a separation between (See, PRINCIPAL, A2)

Faul awarded Links of Strength award for August

hen Cary Knox patented his Links of Strength sayings in 2008, it was his desire to one day be able to give a “shoutout� to people in the community who have gone above and beyond what was expected of them, whether it be for their family, their friends or their community.

Last month, the inaugural “Links of Strength� award was given to White Hall resident Mike Painter. This month, the award is being bestowed upon Carrollton resident Bernie Faul.

Links of Strength is an expression used to describe the people, thoughts and scriptures that bring us peace, love and encouragement. A Link of Strength can be a special person who teaches you toughness and discipline or the person who pushes you to get up and try again when life knocks you down.

Someone who has shown you unconditional love and in return teaches you to love unconditionally. “The idea behind the award is to honor someone from this area that provided strength to those in the community or to those around them,� Knox said. “Or to those that did maybe a little more than they are expected to do and is always willing to pitch in and try and make a difference in where they live.�

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

We’ve come a long way, baby!

While I was driving to Winchester for an interview last week, I found myself conducting another interview on the phone through my car stereo and it got me thinking just how far we have come in the last two decades.

I’ve been with the newspaper for 14 years now and I can tell you that things have changed a lot and I can’t imagine how I made it through the week PG and PF (pre-Google and pre-Facebook).

I can remember needing to contact someone and having no idea how to get ahold of them if I didn’t know where they worked or they weren’t in the phonebook.

Cell phones had been around quite awhile in 2003, but there were still people who didn’t have them and they were in no way the standard like they are today, and you certainly couldn’t access the internet over them.

Now, if you need a number, you just tell your phone what you want and it pulls it up and even dials it for you. Google is amazing and Facebook is even more helpful in my line of work. I can pretty much contact anyone on earth as long as I know how to spell their name and they are on Facebook. No more calling every government office on the planet trying to find the number of a certain person like in the old days.

But, let’s go back even farther — back to 1978 when I first got in the “newspaper racket.” I was 14 years old and I obtained my first paper route. I delivered this weekly, much like the shopper, to each household in town — more than 800 total.

Every Thursday, this huge pile of bundled papers would be delivered to my house and me and my mom would spend the next three to four hours rolling them all up and putting them in bags to load in the car. Then, Mom would drive me all around town and I would throw them to each and every house.

Fast forward four years to 1982. I got my first real job at a small weekly newspaper in the next town as typesetter.

Computers were around, but they had not yet been implemented in much other than the office to keep track of subscriptions.

I typed on this machine that punched holes in paper. I had to learn how to read each letter, much like brail. There was no screen; you had to stop and try to read the

tape if you thought you made a mistake.

This roll of paper was then run through this huge 6-foot-tall machine that transcribed these punched holes into letters on film. This film was then developed in another similar machine and the columns came out on film that had to be cut out.

This was then arranged on these big sheets, which were then photographed on this huge machine that produced a page size negative that was then burned onto a plate. This plate was then placed on this huge machine that would print the paper.

Everything was done right there — in house — unlike today.

The pressman would take the papers off in bundles; they typically contained 4 to 8 pages. Some weeks we would have 3 sections, some four. Then, after that was done, we would spend all day Tuesday “stuffing” the papers with all the inserts along with each section.

I worked there for four years and then moved to a bigger daily paper. Here, I set and pasted up ads. I absolutely loved that work. Ads weren’t created on a computer screen. There was this machine called a Comp 4 and you had to manually change the fonts via this strip that was inside the machine.

If you were really good, and, I must say I was, then you would be able to figure out the leading (spacing) between the different sizes of fonts. Sometimes, you could create an ad that you simply cut out and placed in a box. Other times, you would have to cut apart each line and place them in the box.

I loved doing that. I loved even more doing page make-up. We had this huge piece of paper and we literally “created” pages. It was an art form that I truly miss.

In 1988, the newspaper sold out to this big company and somehow, I became editor of that small weekly. Not only did I write the stories, take the pictures, develop the pictures (yes, we used real film that had to be developed in a dark room), but I also drove 20 miles to the other paper we owned where the page make-up was done.

I think the thing I loved most about this time and my job was the photography, much like today. I had this Minolta X-570 that my mom had bought me for graduation. I took up photography in high

school and I spent many hours developing both film I had shot and film others had shot in the dark room. I was a loner, Much Ado so it was a perfect About arrangement.

Nothing I credit this experience with my ability BY CARMEN to take good photos ENSINGER these days. You see, I learned it the old school way – there was no “program” mode back then. You had to learn about shutter speed and aperture and the effects they had on photos.

Even though the fancy cameras of today can be used by a monkey, I always shoot on manual, especially with sports.

When I think back to those days of shooting sports in the 1980s when I had to set the shutter speed, aperture and manually focus, I realize how great those early photos were.

But the part I really loved was developing and printing the film. It was dark and smelly, but watching that image appear was simply magical. Sometimes it was too dark and you had to cut down on the exposure time.

I guess it was very costly because that photo paper wasn’t cheap, nor was the chemicals or the film.

I cherish those memories, but I certainly wouldn’t want to go back to those days. I don’t think I could do it now. Of course, I’m much older now. I had the enthusiasm of youth going for me back then.

Did I grow up wanting to be a reporter or in the newspaper business? — I can’t really say that I did, but that is where I ended up. I do remember loving the movie “Deadline USA” with Humphrey Bogart and “His Girl Friday” with Cary Grant. Did I think when I was 14 when I took that paper route that I was influencing my future? No. But I’m awfully glad it did. I love my job, sometimes the pressure gets to me and I ask myself why I don’t have a “normal” job, but that quickly passes and I realize how blessed I am to be doing something I truly love.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Someone else has been where you are

I was determined to locate a good place to put my tree stand; away from any other hunter.

I was hunting on private property but others hunt there as well. It’s large enough for several people but I wanted to make sure I was far off the beaten path. I was willing to climb, crawl, and creep until I had found my “promised land.”

I loaded my lock-on tree stand and my stacking sticks on my back and headed up the mountain. The first 300 yards was almost straight up the hill with an occasional bend. I knew most hunters would be unwilling even to go to these extremes. But I was not satisfied. After a few more turns, I was standing in a saddle that was an obvious, deer travel,

corridor.

I studied the situation a few minutes. (I really just needed to rest) Then after some soulsearching I determined I needed to go a little farther, around the next hollow. I wanted to be sure I would be alone. By now my shirt was soaking wet and my legs were feeling the extra weight of the tree stand.

I moved about 50 yards below a thicket, just above the crest of the hill.

When I made it to the other side, I noticed a nice flat. I weaved my way through the mountain laurel until I reached the center of that small flat that was loaded with plenty of signs of deer. I made it! I knew I was at a place that no hunter had ever been. Heck, I doubt if even ole Daniel Boone himself had ever set foot on this

virgin territory.

I quickly located a perfect tree where my stand would go. I set the stand up, put the stacking sticks together, and strapped everything snuggly to the tree. I climbed up, looked around, and noticed an odd shape about 40 yards away. You guessed it……. another tree stand! I wished I had brought my chain saw!

Sometimes in our lives we think we too are at a place where no one has ever been.

We think we are alone in our situation or circumstance. We feel that nobody has ever faced the trouble we are now facing.

The fact is there is nothing new. Someone else has been where you are. Some details may have been different but the place is the same. Our consolation, however, is not in the

knowledge that someone else has walked in our shoes, but our consolation and comfort is in knowing that if we’ll look around we’ll find the Lord has already been there too, just waiting for us to arrive.

Principal (Continued from A1) the middle and high schools and what I hope to do is to make the middle and high school one school.”

For example, the sports teams; the middle school has always been the North Greene Warriors and the high school teams are the Spartans.

“I think the middle school desires to be either a Spartan or a Jr. Spartan instead of having a separate identity,” Macias said. “I feel they want to work more closely with the high school, and I think bringing unity between the

middle and high school so that they are working together as a cohesive staff will benefit everyone.”

Technology at the high school is also something Macias would like to improve upon.

“At the middle school level, they are one to one with computers and now at the elementary level they kind of have their technology lined out,” she said. “But at the high school level, they have a few carts of computers, some of which work and some of which don’t.

They need access to this technology

when it comes to education, so they are not behind other kids in other school districts.”

Money is always an issue, but Macias said she is working to try to get some donations to help put the technology in the hands of the high school students and train the teachers how to use the computers effectively in the classroom.

“It’s hard to get teachers to learn and get them the professional development to continue when the technology just isn’t available to them,” she said.

Pageant (Continued from A1) Days,” Seely said. “They were looking for a director who had some experience with pageants and someone who could kind of move them in the right direction with starting it up again.”

Seely, the former Megan Piper, is a 1996 graduate of North Greene High School and currently lives in White Hall with her husband, Scott Seely, also a 1996 graduate of North Greene, and their sevenyear-old daughter, Mara.

Seely is a former Greene County Fair Queen and has been working with the pageant in a variety of roles since 1999. She will be bringing her many years of pageant experience to the GCD Pageant.

“I honestly have not been to the GCD Pageant in recent years, so my memories of it are from a long time ago,” Seely said. “We are approaching this pageant as an entry level pageant, so it is a pageant in which girls who might not have had any pageant experience before and want to learn can learn about modeling, poise, interviews and public speaking. We are going to instruct and teach the girls to develop skills they can use in other pageants as well as when they become adults.”

In the past, the pageant has more or less been an all-day affair beginning around

11 a.m. with an introduction of the girls and then spaced out over the course of the afternoon until the final crowning of the queen at around 7 p.m., but not this year.

“This year, we have decided to use the more traditional format of a single event,” Seely said. “The pageant will start at 11:30 a.m. and conclude around 1 or 1:30 p.m., depending on how many contestants we have, with the crowning of the princess, junior miss and queen.”

Another change this year is that the competition is open to any girl in Greene County.

“This is for any girl in Greene County — it is not just limited to just North Greene girls, as I think it was in the past,” Seely said. “That was something that the committee wanted to expand on — they wanted to see it opened up to other communities and that was also something I wanted to see happen.”

So far, there are six girls signed up to compete in the princess division; five in the junior miss and only two in the queen division.

“My dream was to have more interest in it at this point so I want to get the word out that we are having it this year,” Seely said. “The committee is still undecided if they will go ahead with the queen competition, if we only have two contestants.

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

But, we are waiting to see what our final numbers are going to be before they have to make that decision. Therefore, we are really hoping that we get more girls signed up for the queen competition.”

There is a small entry fee of $20 for each contestant, which goes towards the prizes and pageant funding. Contestants for the princess contest must be between the ages of 5 to 7 by the date of the pageant; junior miss contestants can be between 9 to 11 years and queen contestants can be between the ages of 16 and 20.

Seely said she has been working with a great committee organizing this year’s pageant.

“Nancy Shive has been helping and has acted as a liason between us and the Roodhouse Park Board, so she is kind of giving us guidance from that perspective and she will be helping with the pageant too,” Seely said. “Also helping out is Lyn Young. She is the events manager at Greene Gables Inn and is also a long time friend of mine, as well as a former Fair Pageant Queen. So she has had the same experience as I have and she is helping as well. She is really good with the sponsorship and the finances of our endeavor so she has been a lot of help. I have other people helping as well and we couldn’t do this without all of them.”

Award (Continued from A1) Commerce, Eldred Legion Auxiliary and the Chloe Foundation, which provides financial assistance to children under the age of 18 with cancer.

“I feel honored that I was chosen to receive this recognition,” Faul said.

“But like I always say, there is no ‘i’ in ‘team.’ I like to take that approach. I usually come up with the plan and then I go out and get a group of people to help me.”

Faul credits her parents with instilling in her a desire to help.

“We never had much of anything but what we did have, my parents were always willing to share with others,” she said. “I can remember when we lived in Roodhouse growing up. We lived in a three bedroom trailer and there were 11 of us kids and my parents let a family of five move in with us until they could get back on their feet. Their door was always open and they helped anyone they could. They believed if you give it, then you will get it back in the long run.”

In fact, it was Faul’s mother who gave her the idea of starting Table Talk.

Table Talk is a meal and entertainment for the elderly or those alone that meets on the third Sunday of the month at Boyd Hospital dining room where a free meal is served and entertainment to follow.

“When my dad passed away and as us kids got older, my mom would always say the weekends were so long and hard because the Senior Citizens Center is closed and there is nothing to do,” Faul said. “Especially in the winter, it’s too cold to go out the park, so I approached Deb Campbell at Boyd Hospital and asked her if I bought the food if I could start this program there.”

While Faul seems to be the catalyst to start things, she is quick to point out that others step up and help out.

“Boyd stepped up and let us use their kitchen and the dining room and then the Eldred Baptist Church gave me a $500 donation to start it up and buy the food,” Faul said. “Last year, Home Instead called me and said they would be glad to come up and give free rides to the senior citizens who don’t have

transportation, or if the weather is bad.”

Credit goes to Faul for the nice concrete flower pots that adorn the square.

“The city had bought these really nice trash cans and the wooden barrels that Shirley Schacher had provided for the flowers several years ago were getting in pretty rough shape,” Faul said.

“I asked Mike Snyder to get me a price on some matching planters and he came back and said they were around $500 a piece.”

Faul told the city if they would purchase the planters, she could come up with the funding.

“I sent letters out to all the businesses and asked them if they would buy a spot on the planter for $250 and before long we had enough money to purchase them,” Faul said. “It’s cheap advertisement because they have been up now for four years.”

But what about the flowers that go in them?

“Carrollton Lions Club buys the flowers and then come spring I go around and put the plants in,” Faul said.

“I’ve had help from the Girl Scouts and some 4-H groups to do the planting over the years.”

Faul also helped organize the first Full Moon Over Carrollton around five years ago “Until we got this started, there really wasn’t anything going on in Carrollton in the fall anymore,” Faul said. “There was a time, many years ago, when we used to have a fall parade here in town with a costume contest for the kids. When that ended, Boyd Hospital picked up the costume contest for the kids and held an evening of events and costume contest, but they no longer do that either. It just seemed like there was nothing taking place anymore, so that is when we came up with the idea for Full Moon Over Carrollton.”

The Carrollton Lions Club always had a costume contest for the kids and Faul decided to approach them with a proposition.

“I went to one of their meetings and asked them if I did all the legwork if they would give me the prize money for the winners and they agreed,” Faul

said. “Well, we had something for the kids, but what about something for the parents? The following year we added crafts and vendors to give the parents something to do. But what about the men? Last year we added a car show on the south side of the square to give the men something to do. Each year we try to add something different.”

The idea of placing American flags along the streets is something Faul picked up while traveling to her nephew’s graduation.

“I went through this very small town, about the size of Eldred, and it was close to Memorial Day,” she said.

“The streets were lined with American flags and it really made an impression on me. I’m very patriotic and I support our veterans any way I can. It truly touched my heart so I told my neighbor, who was a Vietnam War veteran, and he said if I wanted to start doing something like that he would give me $100 to buy some flags. I took it and added $100 of my own money and bought some flags. Then, we had a ribeye cookout to raise some more money and now we have about 400 flags that we put out for Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day and the Fourth of July.”

Much of the money raised for Faul’s many projects is done through ribeye cookouts.

“I have a lot of ribeye cookouts for anybody for a fundraiser,” she said.

“Right now we are concentrating on the upcoming Bicentennial in 2018.”

Faul said she doesn’t do it for the recognition, but admits it’s nice when someone appreciates it.

“It does make you feel good when somebody comes up to you and says, ‘Hey, those flags look awesome on the hill,’” she said. “It makes it worth it.

Reunion of Reif siblings Harvey Lee and Mary Jo Reif of Evans, Ga. were recent house guest of his sister, Clara Halliday of Brighton. While in the area, Harvey attended his 50th class reunion from Carrollton High School while his sister, Clara attend her 60th class reunion.

The highlight of Harvey’s visit occurred when his brothers and sisters gathered together and spent an awesome fun-filled informational day. A day that began when Clarence and Alice Reif of Godfrey; Frank and Nan Romano and Clara Halliday of Brighton; and John and Donna Reif of Carrollton met up with Harvey and Mary Jo for breakfast at Cee Gee’s Restaurant in Carrollton.

After a long leisurely breakfast filled with laughter and reminiscing, the group toured Linder Township, east of Carrollton, where their grandparents and great grandparents had lived. The homes are long-gone but the excitement occurred when the old home sites were identified.

The fact that the original William Winters home was a log house modernized by covering the logs and adding on several rooms was interesting information reveled by Harvey. William was their great, great grandfather who settled in the area when he emigrated from Germany in 1858.

The other ancestor home places were Christopher and Rhoda Jane Holmes, their great grandparents and Balsaar and Rebecca Tutterow, their great, great grandparents. All were neighbors in the area called Providence.

Next came a visit to the Providence Cemetery and a view of the building that was once the Providence Church

Left to Right: Nan Romano, Clarence, John, and Harvey Reif, and Clara Halliday. They are standing by the grave of their ancestors – Joseph and Anna Reif.

that was attended by family members. A visit to the various ancestors’ graves occurred during a walk through the cemetery.

This was followed by a visit to St. John’s Catholic Cemetery where Joseph and Anna Reif and their family members are buried. They emigrated from Austria to the U. S. in 1864 with two children, one being less than 9 months old.

A trip to the Carrollton City Cemetery and the graves of their parents, Elmer and

Helen Reif, and a brother, Christopher Reif, and a sister, Verna Kay Rabe, came next.

The day ended with a visit to the Dairy Queen and more exchanging of stories, laughter, and enjoyment of each other’s company.

Also while in Illinois, Harvey and Mary Jo spent the day with their cousin, Trish Randolph of Jerseyville and an afternoon with their cousins, Dale and Beverly Reif and Brenda Reif-Ranger, all of Eldred.

Left to right: Carrollton Mayor Joe Montanez, Tim Reif, who paid for the signs, Officer Mike McCartney and Police Chief Terry Gross. Standing on the DARE hummer is Darin the DARE Lion. Signs can be purchased at both Carrollton banks, Pharmacy Plus and Buck’s Crossing with the proceeds going to the Carrollton DARE program.

Signs support DARE program

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press While Carrollton has one of the longest, continuous running DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) programs in the state, each year finding the funds to keep the program going becomes harder and harder.

The core program is taught by Carrollton police officers to sixth grade students at both Carrollton Elementary and St. John’s School and focuses on educating students about the dangers of drug and alcohol use.

The program was developed in California in 1983 and it was federally funded up until 2009. Now, funding has to come from private donations and fundraisers. Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross said the cost to operate the six week program runs around $1,200 a year.

“Currently, we are the only department in the county that still teaches the

DARE program,” Gross said. “It was started by former Police Chief Mike Kiger 32 years ago and I think he was the longest serving DARE officer in the state when he passed away a few years ago.”

Tim Reif remembers the class well and wants to make sure it is able to continue.

“It was a very big part of my life growing up and it is certainly something that needs to continue in our schools,” he said. “I want to do my part to assure that the program can continue without having the police department having to sell candy bars or donuts to fund it.”

Rather than just make a donation, Reif came up with a better plan. He had plastic signs made to put in yards to support the DARE program.

“This way, I’m making a contribution and others can show their support by purchasing one of these signs to put in their yard,” he said. “They are $15 each and come with the stakes so you can put them on your lawn and show your sup-

port for our DARE program.”

All of the proceeds from the sale of the signs will go straight to the Carrollton Police Department DARE Program.

“With drug use running rampant at the moment, our kids need this education more than ever right now,” Reif said. “I definitely think it is a worthwhile program and I know the impact it had on me when I took the class.”

Carrollton Mayor Joe Montanez also sees it as a worthwhile program.

“In my previous employment as a police officer with the city of Salinas, Calif., the DARE program was huge and it was very, very successful,” he said.

“We had about nine DARE officers in our department who loved that assignment. It’s a good program and very effective.”

Signs can be purchased at Carrollton Bank, CNB Bank, Pharmacy Plus and Bucks Crossing or by calling Reif at 217-473-9321.

The Perils of Interiority “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.”

—Philippians 4:8 NIV

I

t is good to spend time each day in quiet reflection, thinking and praying about our lives. Much of our daily life is spent “inside our own heads,” though just how much varies a lot with individuals and their circumstances.

Introverts and people who live alone probably spend more time inside their own heads than extroverts and people who live with others. In any case, there are perils to reflection and interiority; quiet reflection can easily turn into brooding over real or imagined grievances. The teacher on the way to school and the office worker on the way to work may both be imagining the difficult individuals they are sure to confront. How much of your interior life is spent in these imaginary conflicts? While it can be helpful to rehearse the argument you plan to have with someone, these rehearsals can easily become obsessive and filled with unkind thoughts about others. Also, do you find yourself dwelling on unchaste thoughts throughout the day? Sometimes we must make a conscious effort to clean up our interior space. We should recall Jesus’s warning that whoever is angry with his brother or sister is subject to judgement and whoever looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery in his heart. (Matthew 5:22-28) – Christopher Simon

Message from I Peter 1-12. Rejoice in the fact that we have an eternal salvation.

Our trials and temptations build our faith.

Everything one day will fade away. But God will stand forever. He is the same today, tomorrow and forever. His plans for you are better than your dreams that you have. Learn to trust God and to lean on him. I Corinthians 10:13 promises us that God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear but with every

temptation he will always provide us a way out - the means of escape.

Evening service scripture from Mark 5. Healed through our faith.

Times of services: Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; Morning worship 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service 6:00 p.m.; Wednesday evening prayer service 6:00 p.m Pray for on another other. Remember, God is good all the time.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle. A covenant - keeping God. Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5.

We live in a world of falling words, broken promises, empty vows, pledges made only to be retracted, assurances given then ignored. They were spoken with great fanfare, “I will always love you.” Count on us to recognize good work Till Death do us part. But words tend to tumble. They are autumn leaves in November’s wind. We all have heard our share, but we will never eat them from God. In a world of falling words, his remain. In a life of broken promises, he keeps his. The Lord’s promises are sure. He speaks no careless word.

All he says is purest Psalm 12:6 God

is a covenant - keeping God. Come to Walkerville Church and enjoy his promises and his love. Worship services at 10:30n on Sunday morning and 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.

We had a beautiful day, some clouds but no rain. Our hearts go out to those in Texas and our prayers are with them and those who are helping them. Only God understands why these things happen. God’s word teaches us not to ask why but to pray and look up to him.

We will understand it better by and by. Our prayer list is the flood victims, Bonnie Hardwick, Melanie Mast, Stacy Phillips, Susie Kiefer, Betty Newman, Ray and Patty Baldes, Gerald Day and Junia Day, Robert Lawson, Andy Ross, Grace Ross, Mickey Henson, all our school children, teachers, leaders and

our country.

Signs of fall are starting to appear and we wonder what winter will be like. Too early to tell but if it is as cold as it was hot it will take a lot of heat. Big bills. The almanac for winter is not out yet. Did you know that you are taller in the morning than at night?

The question last week was had a man wash in the Jordan seven times and was healed? Elisha and he was healed of leprosy and his name was Naaman 2 Kings 5. The question for this week is what is the first commandments.

Falling down is part of life, getting up is living. May you use the gift that you have received and pass not he love that has been given to you. See you in church Sunday. Jesus is waiting to welcome you in.

Much ado at Greene Historical Society during Greene County Days

Visitors to the historic Lee-Baker-Hodges House during Greene County Days this year will find many artifacts which have not been on public display for a long time. This house, cited on the National Register of Historic Places, is home to the Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society and is on the northwest corner of the Carrollton Public Square. Events, displays and tours will be available on Friday, Sept. 8 and Saturday, Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

On Friday, members of the volunteer staff will be on hand to talk about the library and research facilities useful for conducting genealogy projects. These staffers will also provide tours of the entire building and the named rooms which contain items and furnishings going back to the earliest Greene County settlers. On Saturday tours will be conducted by members and friends of the Society. Both days will feature Jean Coates, a staff volunteer and noted area pianist playing sing-along numbers on the honky-tonk piano.

Steve Roberts, curator of the Roberts Family Unicycle, built in England during the 1880s and acquired by the Roberts Family in 1915, will be on hand both days to discuss this unique transport vehicle which is also on display. Stored for years in a barn, it was completely restored in Las Vegas in 2013.

From the 2016 event, the popular handpainted movie theater curtain from the Eldred “movie theater� will be on display on the second floor, along with a great showing of Koster Grocery Store items and giveaways, some 80 to 90 years old.

Visitors can view military items, including a document signed by General John J. Pershing commemorating a fallen Greene County soldier during WWI, and a naval commission for Commander Harvey M. Hodges signed by President Theodore Roosevelt in

1905. A personal letter sent to E. E. Wheeler of Carrollton in 1913, was also signed by Mr. Roosevelt and will also be on display.

Pictures that once hung in the Hardee’s Restaurant in Carrollton will be on display. Also a recently acquired register from the Hotel Pierson dated 1917-1918 will be shown, as will be the bellhop coat worn during the heyday of the hotel, which began as a Keach Family residence in the 1840s.

There will be old photos to identify, a large collection of binders about Greene County schools — one-room through high school — and chances to discuss local history with some knowledgable hosts. The first cigar manufactured in Carrollton is on display as are two duck decoys carved and painted by the renowned citizen Elmer Robley of the Bluffdale-Eldred area. On the tour will be the bank room, period bedrooms, the loom and wardrobe room and the Henry T. Rainey room.

A never before displayed item will be the sterling silver picture frame made by Tiffany & Co. dated Sept. 5, 1901 which holds three photos of Lt. Commander Harvey M. Hodges, Commanding Officer of the USS Nero. Commander Hodges was the son of Charles Drury Hodges of Carrollton, a prominent citizen for whom the Lee-BakerHodges House was named. A full size color oil painting of Commander Hodges is on the wall to the lower level of the Carrollton Public Library.

There is indeed much to see; one tour is never enough and the research material available is outstanding, as are staff services available to researchers. Books and pamphlets sold by the Society will be available for purchase.

All this, and more, will await Greene County Day visitors, who will be warmly welcomed. Much ado and there is no charge.

A look back at ‘A Game for the Ages’

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With high school football season now in full swing, let’s take a moment to look back almost 60 years ago to a game between Roodhouse and Carrollton that has come to be known as “A Game for the Ages.”

The year was 1958 and Joe Airsman, who now makes his home in Hilton Head, S.C., was a left end for the Roodhouse Railroaders and recalls the game against Carrollton as if it were only yesterday.

“According to a local newspaper, four area teams looked to have exceptionally strong football squads for the 1958 season,” Airsman said. “They were Jacksonville, Jerseyville, Carrollton and Roodhouse.

All four would end the season with very successful records, but only one would end with a perfect record — Roodhouse.”

Members of the Carrollton offense were Roger Carter, Dale Varble, Ed Ballard, Bruce Maguire, Larry Shaw, Gary Reif, Don Retherford, Gary Price, Bill Robinson, Ronnie Carter and Barclay Boirun.

They were coached by Walt Moore.

The Roodhouse offense was led by quarterback Bil Hopkins, Delos Poard, Lyndell Winters, Dick Knox, Airsman, Joe Lawson, Lonnie Hanford, Don Welsh, Fred Whitworth, GD Jones, Jim Knox, Bill Jameson, Larry Crum, Don Cox, Hank Hannaford, Bill and Bob Jameson, Mike Henry and Bill Roberts.

Both Roodhouse and Carrollton were undefeated and both had defeated their prior opponents by decisive scores.

“Both had very strong offensive and defensive lines and Carrollton had just come off of victories over two much larger schools: Pittsfield and Jerseyville,” Airsman said.

“Both would feature two of the best running backs in Southern Illinois – Ronnie Carter of Carrollton and Dick Knox of Roodhouse.”

Both teams possessed exceptional size and speed for two small, rural schools and the plan for both schools became how to stop, or at least slow down, the other’s powerful offense.

“For Roodhouse, the plan was to seal the ends and not allow Ronnie Carter to get

outside and demonstrate his shiftiness and speed,” Airsman said. “For Carrollton, it was to recognize and adjust to the Roodhouse quick-hitting belly series and powerful running of Dick Knox.”

Airsman said that the upcoming meeting of the two teams had been the talk of both towns for quite some time. It was even rumored that some pretty hefty bets had been wagered on the outcome.

The game itself proved not to be one of high scoring offense, but one of hard-hitting and sure tacking on both sides of the defense.

“I remember the game being played mostly at midfield with both teams slugging it out between the 40 yard lines,” Airsman said. “The only score in the first half came when Carrollton’s Ronnie Carter completed a 40 yard pass to Don Retherford. The point after touchdown was missed and the first half ended with score Carrolton, 6, Roodhouse, 0.”

Airsman and Dick Knox have discussed this game many, many times.

“In the third quarter, Dick said he remembered returning a kickoff down the sideline and there stood Ronnie Carter waiting for him,” Airsman said.

“Neither young man gave an inch. Knox lowered his head, which was his approach to any would-be tackler. When he got up, he said he was looking through the ear hole of his helmet.”

Knox was finally able to break through Carrollton’s strong defensive line and the only player between him and the open field was Carrollton’s Bill Robinson.

“The two players collided head on with Robinson getting up from the tackle a little bit wobbly,” Airsman said.

“Two plays later, Knox broke through the line again and he and Robinson collided again.

This time with a pop that echoed over the entire field.”

At this point, a hush came over the field as Knox ran back to the huddle.

“Robinson remained on the ground awhile and then started walking a little unsteady toward the Roodhouse huddle, obviously dazed and confused,” Airsman said. “The officials had to direct him to his side of the field where he was removed from the game. Fans and players alike said this part

of the game stood out in their mind because it was symbolic of the pride and determination of both teams.”

In the third quarter, Quarterback Hopkins connected on a 10-yard pass to end Jim Knox for the score. The point after was missed and the third quarter ended in a 6-6 tie.

In an effort to counter the tough Carrollton defense, Hopkins inserted a little trickery that failed with almost disastrous results.

“On an end-around option, Hopkins attempted a pitch out to me,” Airsman said. “Carrollton’s outstanding defensive end, Gary Reif, intercepted the pitch in midair and continued to run to the Roodhouse goal before he was tackled from behind by Hopkins.”

The strong defense and sure tackling led by Roodhouse’s Delos Pollard, GD Jones, Larry Crum and Lyndell Winters held Carrollton out of the end zone.

In the final minutes of the fourth quarter, Hopkins returned the punt to Carrollton’s

40 yard line. At that point, the powerful Roodhouse offense began its final drive to the goal against the strong Carrollton defensive unit.

“As the minutes slipped to seconds, Hopkins attempted a 20 yard pass to me,” Airsman said. “I jumped to make the catch, but the pass fell incomplete in the end zone. At this point, things looked bleak for us but after a quick huddle, Don Welsh hurried us to the line where Hopkins threw a completed pass to end Jim Knox in the end zone with three seconds left on the clock.”

This put the Railroaders up 12-6 securing their victory.

“I can remember as the game ended hundreds of Roodhouse fans rushed the field as the players hoisted Dick Knox on their shoulders and carried him off the field,” Airsman said.

“The doors to the Roodhouse locker room were left open and fans even followed players into the locker room bringing hot dogs and sodas from the concession stand.”

At the end of the game,

fans from both sides lined all the way around the field and commented on what a clean, hard fought game it had been.

If there were any penalties, no one remembered and players from both teams left the field with nothing but respect for the other team.

“As the years passed, many from Roodhouse wondered what could have been if the state high school playoff system had been in place at that time,” Airsman said. “Perhaps we could have been State Champions, but we will never know. For the lack of a playoff system, the only measure left was by comparative scores and head to head competition.

Roodhouse beat Carrollton, Carrollton beat Jerseyville, Jerseyville tied Jacksonville — one can draw their own conclu-

sion.”

Airsman said many of the fans and coaches who had seen both Carrollton and Roodhouse play felt they were two of the best, if not the best, small school teams in the state.

In nine games, Roodhouse amassed an amazing 346 points while holding their opponents to only 24 points. No team scored over six points and five teams failed to score at all.

They were the second highest scoring team in the state, surpassed only by Centralia with 389 points.

“One thing that should be noted was that most of the entire starting offense for Roodhouse didn’t even play the fourth quarter of most games out of the coach’s respect for the other team,” Airsman said.
