Greenfield pre-K receives Gold Circle of Quality designation from ISBE by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Students attending preschool in Greenfield are at one of the highest rated pre-K programs in the state, after the state awarded it the Gold Circle of Quality from the Illinois State Board of Education. Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman made the announcement at the Aug. 18 regular board meeting. “This is very good news for this district and our pre-K program,” Bowman said. “They rate this program on a series of criteria ranging

from staff and child interaction, community and parent relations, curriculum and safety issues.” The designation was made by ExceleRate Illinois, which is a statewide quality rating and improvement system designed to make continuous quality improvement a priority among early learning and development providers. “The program establishes standards for helping infants, toddlers and preschool age children develop intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally,” Bowman said. “It provides a framework for early learn-

steps to make positive changes.” Gold Circle programs have met the highest quality standards in three areas: learning environment and teaching quality; administrative standards and staff training; and education. Programs are actively engaged in continuous quality improvement. The Greenfield Preschool for All program has been in existence since the fall of 2002. Preschool for All programs are usually evaluated on a three-year cycle and Greenfield received its evaluation in February 2012. The evaluation noted, “The staff

Grief Support Group started in Greenfield by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Have you lost a friend or family member or even a beloved pet and just need someone to share your feelings with or even memories? Or perhaps just a shoulder to cry on to get through the grieving process? A Grief Support Group has been started in Greenfield, which will meet the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church. “Everyone, at one time or another

is highly dedicated to providing a positive and caring learning environment and strives to meet the criteria set forth in the Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale-Revised. “ Each year a program improvement plan is filed with the ISBE and progress is noted. The program is funded by a grant from the state and each of the two sessions has a limit of 20 students. Greenfield’s pre-K program is taught by Karen Krotz along with Marla Bailey, who is an aide, and (See, greenfield, A2)

tional support to show we care, give encouragement, hugs, if needed, and Kleenex. In other words, just be there to listen.” While the program is not associated with the church itself, a group of 10 church members are behind the program and will be “lending an ear” to whoever shows up at the meetings. “Sometimes sharing our emotions and experiences of what we have gone through with others tends to have a rippling effect,” Albrecht said. “What we go through we can share

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press The James J. Eldred House Fall Festival will be held on Sept. 6-7 on the grounds of the historic limestone house located on the Hillview Blacktop just outside of Eldred. The event is sponsored by the Illinois Valley Cultural Heritage Association, which is curator of the house. IVCHA President Seth McGee said this is the fourth year for the festival at the Eldred House. “Prior to this, we tried to take advantage of the huge amount of people who come out for Greene County Days by setting up booths in the various towns in the county and advertising both the home and IVCHA,” McGee said. “Then four years ago, we got the house renovated to a point where we could safely allow tours.” The festival features scenery, vendors, musical entertainment and food. “Each year we have seen it grow bigger and bigger,” McGee said. “At some point we would like to expand and do a spring festival, as well.” For the past nine years, IVCHA has published a book of Greene County history revolving around a different aspect each year. For the past four years, the book has doubled as the Official James J. Eldred Fall Festival Program. This year’s theme is “Tales” and opening the event is a speech by President Lincoln, portrayed by Randy Duncan of Carlinville. President Lincoln will be on the grounds all day Saturday, Sept. 6 to (See, eldred, A2)

Haypress Falls offers something for young and old alike by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Haypress Falls might be located a little off the beaten path, but it’s certainly worth the drive down the winding country roads to visit, especially during Greene County Days when it really comes alive. Haypress Falls, located off the Eldred Blacktop – way off, but plenty of signs make it easy to find – offers something for the entire family. While the children are enjoying the petting zoo, the adults can peruse the Haypress Museum, which has now expanded to two buildings. The entire family will enjoy taking a tour of the man-made 190-foot waterfall

created by owner Denny Vetter. Haypress Falls was a labor of love created by Vetter in 2005, and was added to year after year until it reached its present state. Filled with a deep love of Greene County and his own roots in the Haypress area, Vetter also opened a museum filled with vintage photos of area schools and businesses. Several years ago an additional building was added and now it, too, is full of memorabilia telling the story of Haypress and its churches, schools, how it was settled, why it was called Haypress, etc. A few years back, Vetter, with the aid of his friend, Ed Nolan, who operates Nolan’s Petting Zoo, brought a variety of animals in to make a pet-

ting zoo for the children. “Ed helps me farm and I help him out by letting him keep some of his animals here because he has so many,” Vetter said. “It’s a good combination because the kids get a thrill out of seeing the animals while the parents are going through the museum.” This year there are reindeer, camels, donkeys, llamas, alpacas and something you don’t see every day – a fallow deer. “This is just another, smaller breed of deer,” Vetter said. “It’s not a reindeer and it’s not a white-tail deer – it is a breed all its own. Most of them are spotted.” (See, haypress, A2)

in their life, will probably go through the loss of someone close to them, or the loss of a job, divorce, or finances,” Program Coordinator Debbie Albrecht said. “When that happens, we kind of lose our identity sometimes, our daily routine is upset and we might lose our security or status.” That is where this group comes in. “We are going to give them the freedom to do just that: to grieve, to express their emotions, their thoughts and feelings, and to give a listening ear to let them work through the grieving processt,” Albrecht said. There are many stages to the grieving process and it doesn’t matter if your loss is brand new or happened some time ago – they want to be able to help. “We want to be able to meet people where they are at in their grieving process and walk with them through their journey because that is what Christ does for us and that is what Christian love is all about,” Albrecht said. “We just want to be there for people who are going through a difficult time and be able to lend emo-

with others, and suggestions on what helped us get through this tough time or perhaps how we dealt with situations might actually help the other person. What works for one may work for another one, and then they in turn can share with someone else and maybe make that journey a little less burdensome for them.” Members taking part in the support group have had training from Blessing Hospice. “We had Leanne Varble with Blessing Hospice come and she gave us some suggestions and some guidelines to follow,” Albrecht said. “She kind of gave us a feel of what a support group does or is.” The impetus which inspired Albrecht to start the support group was the loss of her sister-in-law, Lori Pembrook, in November of last year. Pembrook was on hospice and this is where Albrecht met Varble. “We were really close and I’ve never really had to grieve like this before,” Albrecht said. “Leanne came and talked to the family and (See, grief support, A2)

She even has a bible verse which reflects this. “Verses 1-4 in 2nd Corinthians says the father of compassion and the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can

comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God,” she said. “I just think we need to pass on the comfort we have received from God onto others whether it is giving a shoulder to cry on, holding someone, or just giving a listening ear or a heart that cares.” Albrecht stressed that everything that transpires or is said is completely confidential. “Nothing gets said about who is here or what is said or anything else after the meetings are over with,” she said. “We are there for the per-

Four members, Dale Ford, Mancel Day, Todd Carriger and Bob Krempasky took the ALS ice water challenge as support for Brenda Early. They challenged the Hillview Baptist Church to do the same. That's all for this week. Stay safe and cool during this heat.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Rev, David Slagel, Pastor Hot!! Hot!! And then Hot!! If you think this is hot, just think what Hell is like. Don’t plan on finding out. There’s a better day ahead. And a better place to go. We had a small group, but good one! This come from pastor David’s desk - Psalm 71: 8, Let my mouth be filled with his praise and with his glory all the day. Blind Fanny Crosby put it this way: O glorious song that all day long with tuneful notes is ringing, I’m saved by grace, amazing grace, and that is why I’m singing. The question this week was “Can you have too much sleep?” Answer: yes - Proverbs 24: 33 - Too much sleep leads to poverty. The other question was “Who had knocking knees?” Answer: King Belshazzathe. Daniel 5-6. the writing on the wall was too much. This week’s questions are “Can a little bird talk?” Ecc. 10: 20 and “We have 24 hours missing - why?” Joshua 10: 13-14. Our prayer list is Bro. David (some test this week), David Jennings, Terry Watson, Grace Ridenbark, our country, all the people that were not at church Sunday (we miss you), Joshalyn

Meyers (we pray for complete healing), Melanie Mast, Ann Ford, our church family. Communion will be Sunday and a short meeting of the trustees after church. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it. To every disadvantage there is a corresponding advantage. Do not think disadvantage, think advantage. Persist in this process and your mind will begin to produce the advantage inherent in disadvantage. Adopt a positive mental attitude. Believing that with God’s grace you will, out of your own intelligence, create a better state of affairs for your self and for others. Watch your thoughts, they become words, watch your words, they become actions, watch your actions, they become habits, watch your habits, they become character, what your character, it becomes your destiny. Many people will walk into and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. Come to Walkerville Church and God will leave footprints on you heart. You will never forget you were there. We miss you. Hope to see you Sunday.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Eldred Baptist Church news Eldred Baptist Church As reported by Mary Eustace Don Carpenter – Interim Pastor Our service today, Aug. 24, 2014 was filled with the Holy Spirit and fellowship through prayers for one another. Our church pews are filling up with members and guest hungry to hear how God is working in our lives. Special music with the “Reif’s” gave us blessings indeed. Today’s message was on freedom: Collision of Culture and Christ. Galatians 2:11-14 the sermon describes a collision over table fellowship 1. Paul opposes Peter to his face, 2. The hypocritical actions of Peter, 3. The wavering of Peter and Paul stands alone. Collision of culture & Christ. Culture always has its own agenda (pleasing self vs. pleasing God) and Christ always has His own agenda (Glorifying God over everything). Colliding forces always produce friction. 1. Issue of judging 2. Hypocrisy of leadership & 3. Consequence of collision. WOWS are you ready to hear this message church? Issue of judging. Culture demands that no one judge the actions of others, but Christ demands that Christians judge one another’s actions for the purpose of Godliness and restoration. Christ demands obedience (especially from leaders) in the home, church & work. The collision of culture and Christ was a reality in Bible times and is a reality today. When worlds collide a friction is created and it forces a decision to be made. Run from hurts or rest in truth and be transformed. 2000 years ago God himself collided with a world that chose to reject Him, He came not to destroy it, He came not to annihilate all those who stood in opposition to Him, He came not to execute justice but rather He came to buy back His people. The ones who had sold themselves into slavery, slavery to sin, sin of hypocrisy

Calvary Baptist Church Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, Aug. 24. Sandy Creek Baptist Association 157th Annual session was held Aug. 22-23 at Calvary Baptist Church in White Hall. Robert Carruthers, DOM was in charge with David Hicks, Vice Moderator. Many wonderful messages. The business was taken care of very wisely. Good food and good fellowship. Bro. Bob Carruthers was honored for fifteen years as DOM. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements. Aug. 31, potluck after morning services; Sunday, Sept. 7 - 6 p.m. movie “God is not Dead” will be shown here at Calvary. Sept. 17 6 p.m. monthly business meeting. Birthdays - Shelly Mason, Jeremy Mason and Johnny Renkin. Sunday school report by Sis. Mary. Congregational singing led by Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna at piano. Children’s Penny March as they went downstairs for church with Sis. Cindy as leader. Bro. Baxter thanked everyone for their hard work in supplying and serving the food and for everything else that made hosting the associational meeting such a success. Message: Romans 5: 1-10. Justified by faith we have peace with God. The world as a whole doesn’t acknowledge God. God gives us peace in all situations. God’s grace is powerful. He sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to atone for our sins. Without the shedding of blood, there is no atonement for sin. As God’s child we need to live our life so others see Jesus in us. When we sin we disappoint our heavenly Father, but he is willing to forgive us and forget. Bro. Baxter is challenging each of us to let Jesus have control of our lives. We need to be more like Jesus and not so ready to judge others. Hope maketh

not ashamed. The Holy Spirit is not a thing but a person that lives within us to strengthen us and let us know when we do wrong. Sunday evening: Prayer, message by Bro. Baxter continues on in Romans 5. there is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which are three, but one person. This is called the Trinity. Hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. We must wait on God because his time is not as our time. As by one man sin entered into the world, so by one man (Jesus) sin was conquered. He died unto sin once, but in that he liveth unto God. As sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Please pray for Ferguson, Mo., the sick, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the bereaved, traveling mercies, our country and our leaders, our troops and their families and one another. Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 7 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 7 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 7 p.m.

It has been a long and hot summer but the end is fast approaching. As you make plans to celebrate the unofficial end of Summer, Labor Day Weekend, make sure you do it in a safe and healthy manner. Outdoor allergies, sun exposure and heat can all bring on health complications this time of the year. Be sure any vital prescriptions are filled and that you have stocked up on any allergy medications that may be needed in the coming weeks. Then feel free to enjoy peace of mind and peaceful, easy feelings with friends and family during the holiday weekend.

Robustness and Resiliency There are two ways to enhance our chances of survival: robustness and resiliency. Robustness is a measure of how much damage can be done to an organism and it will still function. Plants are robust because they can lose their leaves and the majority of their limbs and yet survive. Resiliency refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to changing circumstances. A tropical plant may be robust, but it won’t survive in a harsh environment such as a desert. Human beings are hardy because we combine robustness with resiliency. We are robust insofar as we can survive without our teeth, could lose a few limbs, and some of our vital organs are paired, such as the kidneys and lungs, allowing us to survive with just one of them. Though not as robust as plants, we are more resilient, since we adapt well to change, as evidenced by our living in virtually every environment on the planet. Religion is one of the tools that help us to adapt. The Bible is full of advice on how to get along under trying circumstances. The early Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and then had to survive in the desert, and even once they were established as a nation, they were surrounded by hostile neighbors. This remains true for them today, and there is a lesson here on the value of resiliency and robustness. Increase your robustness by staying healthy and increase your resiliency by being adaptive. - Christopher Simon

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

GREENFIELD NEWS By MARY LOVE HAMMON

Rhoads - Pinkerton Mr. and Mrs. Randall Rhoads of Carrollton are pleased to announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Jennifer, to Mr. Ritchie Pinkerton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Pinkerton of White Hall. Miss Rhoads is a graduate of Carrollton High School and Robert Morris College in Springfield. She is currently employed at Whitworth, Horn and Goetten Insurance Agency in Jerseyville.

Mr. Pinkerton is a North Greene High School graduate and served his country with the United States Marine Corp in Iraq. He is employed with the Illinois Department of Transportation in Carrollton. The couple will be married on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014 at the Carrollton First Baptist Church. A reception will follow the ceremony at the Carrollton Knights of Columbus Hall.

Smith chosen Boyd Employee of the Year Luke Smith of Carrollton has been chosen by his fellow employees as Boyd Hospital Employee of the Year. Luke has been an employee of Boyd Healthcare Services for less than two years, working in the EMS department. Luke was excited about his honor, “Since I came to Boyd EMS I have had the privilege of working with and around some very wonderful, compassionate, and qualified health care professionals. We, as a community, are very fortunate to still have our hospital and the services that they offer; many other rural areas have not been so lucky. I am thankful for my good fortune every day and the opportunity to help serve the people of our area. My only regret is that I didn’t do this job twenty years ago! I have learned a lot since coming to work here, I am thankful to my coworkers for their guidance and the great things that they do.” Kris Templin, EMS supervisor, is grateful for Luke’s hard work. “It has been a pleasure to have Luke on staff with Boyd Healthcare EMS. He is a great asset to our organization. He is outgoing, friendly and a hard worker. He will complete any task that he is given, no matter what it is, and doesn’t mind helping out in the other areas of the hospital. He has grown considerably in his skill level and he has earned respect

LUKE SMITH from his peers. His award is well deserved.” Luke received the award for employee of the quarter in the first quarter he was a full-time employee with Boyd Healthcare Services, making him eligible for the Employee of the Year award. He was nominated for that quarter by his peers after going above and beyond in many situations, including snow removal, extra hours worked and general positivity toward all patrons entering the hospital. Outside of the hospital Luke enjoys hunting and fishing with his family, playing sports with his children Jacob and Jerrett and spending time with his wife Ronda.

Birthdays

We are thankful for a nice rain. As children, my folks had a rain barrel until my dad could dig and form a cistern with a filtration. When I assisted Mr. Claude Bell with income tax, he told me that he and his daughter, Elizabeth still used their cistern; that home is on the corner of North Prairie and Garfield where Carl Winters resides. Many of my friends still use those cisterns. Melba and I loved when mother shampooed (we called it washed) our hair with dad’s Mennen’s shaving cream. I liked it best when she used Ivory soap - it floated and still does, if you can find it. Debbi Fields’ daughter-in-law brought me a bar from Jerseyville. When I taught school at White Oak, a student Donna Fey Rhodes, said that their M.D. - Dr. Dailey always said, “Wash a cut or bruise with Ivory soap.” Mel and I liked for mother to save the end pieces. On rainy days we put them in a basin of water and had pretend boat races. Who will try to be a sunbeam on a rainy day? I will try! Freak accident - as I was taking my mail from the mailbox the lid fell down and slashed me between my forefinger and middle man. It is school time when the little children sing and play the game “Where is thumbkin, where is pointer, where is middle man, where is ring, where is pinky?” “Simon Says”, “I’m a Little Tea Pot”, “Twenty Froggies”, “The Spider Song”, “Waddle Like a duck” are fun times for them. When I was gabbing with my sister Mel (over the phone) Marlene Maneley dropped by. She looked so pretty in beige trousers and gold top. Mel was pleased to have Marlene say, “Hi!” Pat Garner (Gable’s Pharmacy) delivered my medicine and three Hallmark birthday cards for my three greatgrandchildren. While talking with my sister Mel, I heard trains going through Fountain, Colo. They are Burlington - Northern - Sante Fe. School days, school days, dear old golden rule days, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic taught to the tune of a hickory stick, you were my queen in calico, I was your little barefoot beau. When I wrote on your slate - I love you so - when we were a couple of kids.

Today people could not drive into the front entrance of Oak Wood Cemetery due to a police car being parked there. Kevin Albrecht came from South Side Hardware and assisted me with my central air. He and his wife and children live out west in the country. He was going home, shower, shave, dress and bring four-year-old daughter, Lakely to the Greenfield Elementary School to meet her pre-school instructors, Mrs. Charles “Pat” Theivagt and helper, Mrs. Robbie “Marla” Bailey. Mrs. Albrecht is a teacher in the North Greene Elementary school system. Yesterday afternoon, my doublegreat nephew Matthew Love Kellie had fun playing with neighborhood cats in my front yard. He and his dad Scott and mother Julie Love Kelly reside in a condo in Kansas City, Kan; cats are a no-no. Julie’s gramp was my brother, Elmer O. Love who graduated from GCHS - Class of 1937.

Greenfield Library Board News and open on Thursday from 1-7 p.m. The change in schedule will be effective immediately. Beginning on Sept. 2, the Greenfield Public Library will begin their winter hours to meet the needs of students and the community. The winter hours will be: Monday (1-7 p.m.), Tuesday (1-8 p.m.), Wednesday (Closed), Thursday (1-7 p.m.) and Friday and Saturday (9 a.m.-12 p.m.). The next Greenfield Library Board meeting will be held on Mon. Sept. 15, at 7 p.m., at the library. The public is invited to attend the meeting.

Illinois youth firearm deer hunt is Oct. 11-13 The 2014 Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt is Oct. 11-13 for those hunters with a valid Youth Deer Permit who have not reached their 16th birthday by the first day of the hunt. Youth Deer Permits are available over-the-counter at license vendors throughout the state. Hunters may purchase only one permit (either-sex) for one of the open counties. Last year, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law legislation extending the Illinois Youth Firearm Deer Hunt from a two-day to a three-day season, providing an additional hunting day on the Columbus Day holiday. All youth hunters must have a current, valid Youth Deer Permit and have a regular hunting license, Youth Hunting License or Apprentice Hunting License, unless exempt. If using a regular hunting license, participants must have completed an IDNRapproved Hunter Education course. Each hunter participating in the Youth Deer Hunt while using an Apprentice Hunting or Youth Hunting License must be accompanied by a non-hunting, validly-licensed (Illinois hunting license) parent, guardian or grandparent who is 21 years of age or older. All other hunters participating in the Youth Deer Hunt must each be accompanied by a non-hunting supervisor (parent, guardian or responsible adult) who has a valid Illinois hunting license or who has in his or her possession a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. The non-hunting supervisor must wear the orange garments required of gun deer hunters (blaze orange cap and upper garment with a minimum of 400 square inches of solid blaze orange material), and must remain with the hunting youth. Each supervisor may only accompany a single youth at any given time during the hunt. Shooting hours for firearm deer hunting in Illinois are one halfhour before sunrise to one halfhour after sunset. All Illinois counties except Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties, and that portion of Kane County east of State Route 47 are open for the youth deer season. Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise on to one-half hour after sunset on Oct. 11-13. The bag limit is one deer per legally authorized permit. All either-sex permits are subject to the following restrictions: no hunter, regardless of the quantity or type of permits in his/her possession, may harvest more than two (2) antlered deer during a year, including the youth, archery, muzzleloader and firearm seasons. Successful hunters must register their harvest by 10 p.m. on the same calendar day the deer is taken by calling the tollfree telephone check-in system at 1-866-ILCHECK or by accessing the online check-in system at www.dnr.illinois.gov/vcheck. They will be provided with a confirmation number to verify that they checked in their harvest. This number must be written by the hunter on the temporary harvest tag (leg tag). Youth hunters are reminded that archery deer season will be underway and archery hunters will be afield during the Oct. 11-13 youth hunt. Archery deer hunters and all other hunters are reminded that they must comply with requirements to wear blaze orange the weekend of the youth deer hunt (except in counties closed to the youth deer season). The IDNR-managed sites in the counties listed below are open to youth hunting during the Youth Deer Hunt. Note that some of the IDNR sites allow participation in the Youth Deer Hunt only by site-specific permit. Contact the sites listed below for special site

GREENE COUNTY DAYS

Drag-O-Way Reunion just around corner

By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press What started out as a bunch of old guys gathering at Lion’s Park showing off their cars and talking about their racing days in the 1960s has grown into one of the most popular car shows in the area. The 12th Annual Drag-O-Way Reunion is scheduled to be held Sept. 6 at Lions Park in White Hall during this year’s Greene County Days. In its day, the White Hall DragO-Way drag strip was more or less legendary in this area, and some of its original founders decided 12 years ago they would like to bring back some of those fond memories they all shared back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The drag strip started out in Carrollton at the fairgrounds in 1959. It was moved to White Hall two years later where two clay tracks were built. In 1968, asphalt tracks were built. Brothers Paul and Neil Fansler and Don Nell were three of the guys who helped operate the track. By 1975, the guys had grown older, had families and the track was just too expensive to keep running. For a period

of two years the track was operated by another individual until it finally closed for good. Twelve years ago the guys were together and started reminiscing about the good old days of the drag strip and one thing led to another and in 2003 the first reunion was organized. Since that time, Paul Fansler has seen it grow bigger and bigger every year. “We started out with 60 cars that first year and as word spread it just kept growing and growing each year,” Fansler said. “Last year was our biggest year ever with approximately 225 cars on hand and we are expecting even more this year.” Fansler said he believes the popularity of the event stems from the fact that it is a 100 percent nonprofit event. “Every dime we make we donate back to the community to some charity or organization,” Fansler said. “Over the past 11 years we have donated over $23,000 back to the community and this year we are looking to donate another $2-$3,000.” So how can they continue to hold these events if all of the profit is donated back?

“It’s because we have excellent sponsorship,” Fansler said. “We have close to 85 sponsors this year. When the sponsors find out what we do with our funds they are on board with it, and if they do not have items to donate to us for prizes, sometimes they will give a cash donation.” Another unique feature of the event is that every woman and child will go home with a door prize. “We have been to a lot of these shows and we have never seen this happen before,” Fansler said. “We try to cater to the kids and the ladies.” Of course, there will be a lot more than just several hundred cool cars to look at. There will be games for the kids and adults including the ever-popular I Dood It game and racing celebrity, NHRA Top Fuel Driver, Larry Dixon, Sr. from Indianapolis. “This is his second year with us,” Fansler said. “He was so overwhelmed with what we do by donating all our funds back to the community that he wanted to be a part of it again this year.” Also making a return appearance will be Rocky the drug dog along with his handler, Roodhouse Police

Chief Kyle Robison. This year Rocky is bringing some friends along for an exhibition set to begin at 1:30 p.m. “We had Rocky and Kyle here last year and it was an overwhelming success,” Fansler said. “This year Kyle has managed to get the Jerseyville and Litchfield squads lined up, and possibly Carlinville.” In addition to a 50/50 drawing, there will be a raffle for a vintage restored gas pump which is on display in the window of J & K Furniture in White Hall. Tickets are $5 each or three for $10. Registration for the car show begins at 10 a.m. Some of the entries will include race cars, hot rods, muscle cars and street rods, plus a variety of other unique vehicles. There is no entry fee and while there is no official judging that takes place, there will be four plaques awarded to those chosen for the Mayor’s Choice, Chief of Police’s Choice, Fireman’s Choice and Lions Club Choice. The event is free to the public and there will be food and drinks on the grounds along with plenty of shade. For more information visit www. WHDOW.org.

Eldred House scene of Festival of Haunts Aug. 30 By Carmen ensinger Greene Prairie Press No better way to cool off from the hot summer sun than with a few cold chills at the third annual Festival of Haunts at the James J. Eldred House Aug. 30 from noon to 6 p.m. at the historic stone house located on the Hillview Blacktop just outside of Eldred. The end-of-summer event is hosted by American Hauntings and proceeds from the event go toward the restoration of the Eldred House. “This is the third year for the Festival of Haunts,” host Loren Hamilton said. “This is my very small way to pay back the people of Greene County for their support of me and my paranormal interest.” The free daytime event features presentations of alleged ghostly encounters and unsolved mysteries by four speakers. “It’s an opportunity to network

with ghost enthusiasts from all of the region and meet some noted authors and speakers,” Hamilton said. Troy Taylor, author and American Hauntings owner, will be returning to the summer festival to present “Murdered in Their Beds,” which takes a chilling look at a string of Midwestern ax murders that occurred in the early 1900s and claimed victims in Illinois, Colorado, Kansas and Iowa. Sylvia Shults will be appearing at the festival with a traveling display from the Pollock Hospital in Bartonville, which was part of the Peoria State Insane Asylum. She will also be speaking about her books including “Fractured Spirits” about the history of the asylum and her own personal experiences. Kelly Davis, who has been the driving force behind the efforts to restore the Eldred House and a long time member of American

Hauntings, will be speaking on historic preservation. “She will be explaining, even as paranormal investigators, we can do a service to the community by taking something we love as a hobby and using it as a way to preserve something that future generations can visit,” Hamilton said. Mendy Overly is a practitioner of Native American traditions and an ordained minister with more than 14 years experience with herbal usage and energy healing. She works with a variety of different health topics and in a variety of fields to help heal the mind, body and soul. At this year’s festival, she’ll be presenting on “House Cleanings” and will be doing “energy readings” at her booth. American Haunts has offered tours, paranormal investigations of locations around the country and events since 1994. “We host quarterly events like

this every four months,” Hamilton said. “But the Summer Festival is the only one that has always been held at the Eldred House and not rotated around to different locations like the other three.” Hamilton estimates more than 2,000 people have visited the Eldred House to investigate allegations of paranormal activity. Or, one has the option of participating in the Great River Road Opry Campout, which also begins at 7 p.m. Join Troy Taylor and Lisa Taylor Horton for a campout at the site of the former Great River Road Opry, located north of the Eldred House, and take part in stories around the campfire. Cost for this after-hours event is $25 per person and an additional $10 to add a tent site. Vendor sites will be set up at the Eldred House and Hamilton said should it rain, the event would be moved inside the house.

Mailed registration forms must be received here at the Hospital by the 31st. Participants can also drop off their completed forms at my office just off the lobby.” Mailed registration forms and checks should be sent to Jamie Bray, Carlinville Area Hospital, 20733 North Broad St., Carlinville, IL 62626. Award presentations and free

drinks and snacks for all participants will be on tap after the races. On the same day as the 5K Hustle and on Hospital grounds, the CAH Auxiliary and the Carlinville Chamber of Commerce Health & Wellness Team will host a free “Good To Go From Head To Toe” Wellness Fair. The Fair will be

open from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and is designed as a fun way to promote wellness for children, adults, and everyone else in the family. There will be educational materials and related information available, as well as give-aways, prizes and surprises.

Carrollton cheerleader Taylor Hubbard fills a customers cup with tea at the fried chicken fundraiser held at the eldred american Legion sunday afternoon to benefit the CHs cheerleaders.

The Carlinville Area Hospital Auxiliary announced that it would host its annual 5K Hustle event on Saturday, Sept. 6. The Hustle will start with a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk at 8 a.m. that morning, followed by the 5K for the heartier runners, joggers and walkers at 8:30 a.m. Both events begin and end at the Hospital, located at 20733 North Broad Street. “This marks the fifth anniversary of our 5K Hustle, and it’s gotten bigger and better each year,” said CAH Director of Development and Auxiliary Liaison Jamie Bray. “It has been very popular because it’s fun, it offers different levels of challenge for everyone from casual walkers to serious runners and, in the end, it benefits the Hospital, its staff, and the people who rely on it for their health-care needs.” Bray said that there are trophies for the top male and female in the 5K and medals for the first place male and female in the 1-mile fun run. There will also be medals for 5K first-place male and female finishers in specific age groups, including 13 and younger, 14-19, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. And there will be an award for all finishers age 12 or younger in both the 5K and the 1-mile events. Pre-registration cost – on or before August 31 -- for either event is $20 for adults and $15 for

Carrollton football team shows abundance of talent

Back-to-back seasons with at least nine wins and a pair of Western Illinois Valley Conference South championships the past two years have risen expectations near an all-time high for the Carrollton High School football team entering the 2014 campaign. The Hawks also return a plethora of talent and experience from last season’s 9-2 squad this year. Carrollton went 10-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the Class 1A playoffs for the first time in school history in 2012 and nearly got back there in 2013, but a 63-yard touchdown run by Casey-Westfield with 10.6 seconds remaining in regulation put the Hawks on the losing end of a 6-0 decision in the postseason’s second round. The 2014 sees the return of talented players at key positions in Carrollton. Quarterback Jacob Smith threw for more than 1,000 yards with 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions while rushing for another 330 yards and eight touchdowns during his junior season last year. Classmate and playmaker Luke Palan ran for 890 yards, caught 25

passes for another 392 and combined for 21 touchdowns. Cole Brannan will be back as a junior after having ran for 409 yards and tallied 17 receptions for 238 to score five touchdowns as a sophomore last season. In all, the Hawks will bring back four of their topfive rushers and three of their top-four receivers from last season this year. “We’ve got such a young nucleus,” head coach Nick Flowers said at the end of last season. “We’re not graduating very many kids and we know we are going to have to get stronger and faster in the offseason. We’re going to get it done for sure.” The Carrollton defense will also feature familiar faces on that side of the ball. Seniors Cody Leonard are among the leaders returning for a defense that brings back its top-six tacklers from a season ago. The Hawks season begins with a visit from Class 3A Fithian Oakwook August 30 in Carrollton before backto-back road games at Triopia and West Central as WIVC South play begins in Week 3.

North Greene gridders set sights on postseason

The North Greene High School football team ended a seven-year playoff drought by returning to Illinois’ Class 1A postseason in 2013 and will be seeking its first set of back-to-back playoff appearances since three-straight trips from 2003 to 2005 this season. The Spartans nearly got postseasoneligible in 2012, but finished the season 4-5 after a loss in their season finale. North Greene again found itself 4-4 through its first eight games in 2013, but earned its playoff spot by beating Mendon Unity 39-0 in Week 9. “I didn’t have to give the greatest pregame speech in the world,” coach Tony Rhoades said following that game. “These kids realized we haven’t been playoff-eligible in years and were chomping at the bit.” Now the Spartans will be chomping at the bit to get back into the postseason and to get their first win there since 2004. With the Spartans’ returning starters having experienced more winning than the program was used to the

five seasons prior, one large obstacle has already been cleared. “We were coming off four-straight seasons of winning either one or two games. The toughest obstacle was getting them to believe,” Rhoades said last season. “We had that big win against Brown County [in 2012] and they realized then that we can get this done. Now it’s just about taking it that one step further.” The regular season begins with a tall order in the form of a road trip to face Camp Point Central in Week 1, but the Spartans will return to White Hall for three-straight home games and begin Western Illinois Valley Conference play there in Week 3 against Calhoun. But if North Greene wants to secure a return trip to the IHSA playoffs, they’ll have to do it on the road. Four of the teams’ final five games this season will come away from NGHS, with a matchup against Class 3A Fithian Oakwood serving as the home finale in Week 8.

The Greenfield-Northwestern football team, rich in tradition and one of Illinois’ all-time winningest teams, got back into the IHSA playoffs for the first time since 2009 last season. A first-round defeat in the postseason ended the Tigers’ 2013 campaign with a 7-3 record. The Tigers hadn’t gone fourstraight years without a postseason appearance since the early 1980s before the legendary Dan Bowman made his case as an Illinois Hall of Fame coach. Greenfield-NW benefitted from a full season from quarterback Isaac Masters in 2013 after he was injured halfway through the 2012 campaign, which the Tigers ended 5-4 but missed out on an at-large playoff spot. Masters threw for 1,281 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions while running for another 492 yards and 10 scores. He’s just

one of a number of key players from last season’s team that the Tigers will be without this year due to graduation. Leading rusher Dakota Coffey went for 906 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior last season and the Tigers will be without their top-four rushers from 2013 this year. Greenfield-NW’s top-two and three of its top-four receivers from last season will also be gone this year. Among the Tigers’ top returning athletes this season is Austin Plogger, who caught 27 catches for 302 yards and four touchdowns last year. Greenfield-NW opens the season with a home date against Brown County, but has to go on the road for three-straight games to begin September including its Western Illinois Valley Conference South opener at Pleasant Hill in Week 3.

Back row left to right, Trevor Bick Austin Laing, Austin Gerson, Gus Baalman, Pat Snyders, Brandon Faley and Brandon Kizer.

The Calhoun High School football team enters the 2014 season looking to return to the postseason playoffs with hopes to return to the grid powerhouse of yesteryear in coming years. After having missed out on postseason play just twice since 1985, the Warriors have not been as successful, but that should change this year under Aaron Elmore, the coach. Last years 2-7 campaign was the first for new head coach and Calhoun alumnus Elmore, with wins against Routt and the Illinois School for the Deaf bookending the Warriors› season. Calhoun has seven seniors. One is transfer from Alton Marquette Brandon Kizer, a linebacker, tailback and quarterback. “We have a lot of guys returning with experience,” Elmore said. “We have really progressed and the sophomore class is one of the better ones we have had.” After a full year of coaches getting to know their team and players learning the new system, Calhoun has hopes for improvement and playoff aspirations in 2014. Elmore

said the players worked hard in the off-season and lifted all season. Gus Baalman, a towering 6-foot6 tight end and defensive prospect, returns. He is being eyed by colleges as a football prospect and is also an outstanding basketball player. Blake Booth is another returnee at quarterback. He rushed for 700 yards in six games and eight touchdowns. Others in the backfield are Kaiser, Brandon Fraley, who gained 450 yards last year, and Austin Lang. Key returnees in the line are Austin Gerson, Patrick Snyders, Eric Rose, Cody Gilman, Trevor Bick and Michael Finch. Recently St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jason Motte visited a Calhoun practice and Elmore said that was inspirational to the team members. The Warriors open the season on the road against Routt in Jacksonville before their home opener against Camp Point Central in Week 2. Calhoun›s Western Illinois Valley Conference South play begins against North Greene in Week 3 in White Hall.

VOLLEYBALL

Carrollton volleyball expects big things

Carrollton High School should be exceptionally strong this year in girls volleyball under coach Toni Goetten. The Lady Hawks were close to .500 last year finishing at 13-18 and Goetten expects big things from her girls this season with 10 seniors. “We are clicking right now,” the coach said. “Over the summer we played in the Greenfield League and won that league.” Rachel Williams is our middle hitter and is 6-foot. Madison Struble, Madison Mountain and sophomore Emily Struble, Madison’s sister, are main players for the Lady Hawks. Goetten described both as “allaround players.”

Others players mentioned were Michaela Weber and Jessica Lake are both setters. Macy Pohlman and McKenzie Ruyle are also returning. Calhoun High School will again be a big rival for Carrollton’s girls. Coach Goetten has high respect for Ann Gilman, the Calhoun coach, and her team. “We were third last year in the WIVC and that was still really good,” Goetten said. “We are hoping to top conference this year. Calhoun has two really big hitters and every time we play them it will be interesting. We are always in the same regional as them the last three years. We lost close matches in the regional.”

Calhoun volleyball carries height, talent

Calhoun High’s girls volleyball will be led again by a pair of 6-footers - Emma Baalman, 6-foot-1, and Grace Baalman, 6-foot-2. Each time the girls take the floor, they appear to provide some intimidation to the opponent with that height at the net. Kassidy Klocke is nearly 6-foot tall at 5-foot-11. Libero Rebecca Oswald and set-

ter Sydney White are other key Calhoun players. “We hope to win as many as we did last year,” said Calhoun coach Ann Gilman. “Our goal is to win the conference and achieve 20 wins. It is early, but we are going to try to fill two open spots we have early in the season. We have some work to do.” Calhoun was 29-4-1 last year.

Greenfield expects another stellar season

Greenfield is coming off a stellar 19-12 girls volleyball season and the upcoming year should again be equally as strong. Julie Williams, the Greenfield coach since 2005, has strong expectations for the season. “The girls want to keep the tradition going,” she said. “They don’t want to be the team with a down year. One of yearly goals is 20 wins and last year they were really excited.” Williams is a Greenfield High

graduate. She was a basketball and softball player, track athlete and cheerleader. Five seniors lead the Greenfield squad this year: Megan Bishop, outside returning hitter; Abby McEvers, libero; Olivia Thompson, setter; Samantha Tucker, right-side hitter; and Bailey Bergschneider, middle hitter. Dee Parker will step into a defensive role. Jennifer Bishop, an outside hitter, and Haley Vetter, a defensive specialist, will see considerable playing time.

North Greene High’s girls volleyball squad will feature several girls with a lot of drive and athletic talent this season. Susan Randall, North Greene High’s girls volleyball coach, said she has five starters returning. “The girls worked very hard over the summer to be up to snuff with everybody. We could be as good as anybody around with eight seniors. My seniors will be pushing for 20 wins, which is very achievable.” Five starters return - Erika Hull, Tabitha Hawk, Sydney Clanton,

Brittney Kraushaar and Halie Kraushaar. Other key players are setter Karlie Davis, libro Darci Brannan, Destyne Powell, Makendra Jennings and Abbie Hoesman. Larmie Chaffin and Holly Cox should see playing time with Bethany Randall, a sophomore. “We have a senior boys and girls classes at North Greene High School loaded with talent,” said Randall. “I have complete confidence in my bench, too. Down the road, we should be right up there with anybody else.”

Carrollton golf girls return with experience; Robinson leads boys

Carrollton High’s golf team should be competitive on both the boys and girls side this year. For the boys, junior Nick Robinson returns. He qualified to the sectional meet the last two years. The girls also have a shot to qualify for the sectional this year with three girls leading the way - Ashley Fessler, McKayla Schnettgoeke and Olivia Waters. “Olivia and McKayla are really close and Ashley is right there

together with them,” said Carrollton coach John Kesinger. “Originally Ashley was No. 1 when they were sophomores.” Kesinger said the Carrollton team has a lot of “young players” with a lot of youth coming up in the junior high system on the boys side, so he has good expectations for the future. Kyle Kesinger, Carrollton’s top golfer last year, graduated this past spring.

Carrollton opens with bang at final grid scrimmage Hawks to host Oakwood-Fithian Saturday night in season opener john hough Greene Prairie Press Carrollton Hawks football coach Nick Flowers seemed satisfied with his teams’ intrasquad performance in the blistering 100-degree heat on Saturday afternoon. “You know it’s hot out here,” Flowers said. “We knew it was going to be hot. Practices were hot, but the first play from scrimmage went for a score. I don’t know if it was a penalty or not but they brought it back. Long story short we’ve seen some good things here. I think we completed every pass we threw, which is a good thing.” Flowers explained that for the most part, he likes what he is seeing in the Carrollton football team. “This is not going to be close to a game as far as the number of plays we’ll be running and the length of it, but we like to get the guys out here in front of a few people and like to get them out here using a full-width field.,” he said. “Overall I’m pretty pleased.” The varsity starters first scrimmaged on offense with a 10-minute running clock, which meant there would be limited action. Standout running back Luke Palan had a 65-yard touchdown run that was called back on a holding penalty on the first play of the day. He later pulled off a 20-yard run. Junior Cole Brannan scored on a 20-yard touchdown run on the first series, breaking a few tackles in the process. Senior quarterback Jacob

Smith completed a 20-yard pass to Junior Tyler Frye. Immediately after, Smith showed his legs by reeling off a 12-yard option run. The varsity squad on the defensive side of the ball shut out the JV squad, only allowing one first down for three series. Junior Brody Howard had three tackles with one of them for a loss. 6’5” Senior Trenton Harrelson had two tackles. Luke Palan, Jacob Smith, and Tom Cox each had one tackle. The quarterback for the JV squad, junior Nate Shanks, looked good throwing the ball. The most impressive overall performing player of the day was young sophomore Jarrett Smith. He caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from his older brother Jacob, and snagged another and ran it for 20 yards. Smith also had the most tackles on defense with four. “I was excited last year when he [Jarrett Smith] came in as a freshman and this year as a sophomore he’s pretty elusive out there,” remarked Coach Flowers. “He reminds me and can run a lot like Luke [Palan] to be quite honest. He can cut, spin and we are expecting a lot of him this year and we know that he can handle it.” The temperature was as high as 103 degrees, but it didn’t seem to faze any of the Hawks on the field. Most everybody was ready to go. “So far we’ve been really lucky. We’ve not had any major injuries. We have had some pretty tough preseason practices here so far. We’ve kind of been up-tempo, been aggres-

sive and we’ve got out of it without any injuries and go into week 1 health,” said the coach. The Hawks’ Week 1 opponent will be class 3A school OakwoodFithian at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, at Carrollton. Oakwood-Fithian is coming off of a 1-8 season. Coach Flowers is excited to be playing them. “They’ve been a traditional 3A school,” he said. “They are coming down to our place on Saturday night and there’s no other Saturday night game going on. There will probably be a big crowd here and I think its win-win for us. ISD dropped and we did not want to start off with a forfeit win and go play Triopia in week 2, so I said its time we need to play somebody. It’s a non-conference game and we want to know that we will be ready for them.” Going into the season after two straight WIVC South Conference championships, with a senior laden team that comprised the bulk of the talent for those past two seasons, what is the outlook for the Carrollton Hawks? A team that has arguably the best looking squad in school history. “We are bringing a great group back, a great group of coaches, great support, and expectations are high,” said Flowers. “The main reason why those expectations are high is because these boys have earned it. They have set the bar with their accomplishments and it’s a great thing whenever you have high expectations. It ought to be a fun season.”

Editor seeks inspirational stories, tips I spent the last nine or 10 days getting to know many of the area’s coaches and must say I am much impressed with their commitment to young people. This fall I am going to coordinate sports for Campbell Publications. In my column each week, often I would like to spotlight the achievements of the region’s athletes, from running a top time in a race, scoring several touchdowns or getting 15 tackles in a football game or someone dominating

on the volleyball court, or any sport. National trap shooting champ Through a parent tip, we learned that Bradley Rynders of Greenfield was a national rookie champion in trap shooting. We plan a story on his accomplishment. I am open to phone calls with suggestions. My e-mail is dbrannan@ campbellpublications.net and office phone is 618-498-1234 and cell phone is 618-623-5930. When you have

results, e-mail or text me the names and scores. If you have clear, good photos worthy of publication, e-mail them to me. I have been making contact with area coaches and I am already receiving material via e-mail, filled with names. I want to see names and faces in our various newspapers. Thanks to those who are already sending their material in to the newspaper operation. Dan Brannan is a regional consulting editor for Campbell Publications.
