Judge Day announces retirement after 30 years

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After 30 years on the bench, Greene County Circuit Judge James Day has announced that he will be retiring at the end of his term in December of 2020.

Day said he made the announcement early so other attorney’s would have the opportunity to run for his seat. “I was honored to be elected by the people of Greene County in 1990, and I think they should elect the next circuit judge as well,� Day said.

He said attorneys could take out their nominating papers on the first of the month, but they don’t have to file them until November.

Day ran in a contested election in 1990 against fellow Attorney Norbert Goetten. “We were the only two who filed for the position that year – myself on the Republican ticket and Goetten on the Democratic ticket,� Day said. “Ironically, Norbert’s son, Matt Goetten is going to be running for the seat as he did 30 years ago.�

Day said he did not want to resign before the end of his term because that would take the next judge out of the hands of the voters. “If I were to retire next month, most likely the

“Looking back, I would have to say that I never had any idea I would still be here 30 years later.�

James Day Greene County Circuit Judge Supreme Court of Illinois would appoint someone to fill the position until the next general election,� Day said. “I specifically timed this to say that I’m not going to retire next month but rather at the end of my term, which is December of 2020. But, by making the announcement early, it will give any attorney

who wants to run for the position the opportunity to file.�

Day is celebrating 50 years of marriage with his wife, Dottie this year and said he never dreamed he would be behind the bench for three decades. “Looking back, I would have to say that I never had any idea I would still be here 30 years later,� Day said. “But I have really, really enjoyed it, and I find the variety of things we get in Greene County makes it so interesting. Every day, I get something different.�

But the two that stick out in his mind the most both involved a dog. “I have had two jury trials in my career that involved a dog,� Day said. “A neighbor was accused of killing his neighbor’s dog, and the jury found the person not guilty.

Shortly after that, a person was being sued because this person allegedly took possession of this stray dog and wouldn’t give it back to the (See, JUDGE DAY, A2)

County to give notice to Spire to fix road

The Greene County Board convened a special meeting with outside counsel Monday to talk about the road in Roodhouse Township, 1000 East, which has been made unsafe for travel after Spire put in a pipeline back in February.

County Highway Engineer David Marth last week asked the board to switch to a different outside counsel because he felt current counsel was not getting anything done.

The board balked at switching attorneys and called for this special meeting along with Greene County States Attorney Caleb Briscoe. Representatives from Brown, Hay and Stevens from Springfield were on hand and the board immediately went into closed session. “We took it to closed session because we were talking case strategy on how we would handle the situation with Spire,�

Briscoe said. “I think at the last meeting there was some miscommunication going on, and I don’t know that everyone was on the same page.�

Board members OK’d two measures – one that requires all correspondence between the highway engineer, attorneys and Spire, be carbon copied to Briscoe and another that direct-

ed Roodhouse Township Road Commissioner Mark Hallock to write a simple letter that says he deems this road to be unsafe.

That letter will be given to Briscoe who will pass it onto the attorneys, who will then give it to Spire. This starts a 10-day notice for Spire. “Pursuant to the contract we have with Spire, if the road authority believes that road is unsafe then, per the contract, we put Spire on notice that we believe the road needs to be fixed, and they have 10 days to fix it,� Briscoe said. “If they don’t fix it, we have the option to fix it ourselves and bill them for it.�

Marth estimates that to fix the five-mile stretch of road would cost anywhere from $250,000 to $300,000. The township doesn’t have the funds to make those kinds of repairs.

Marth has been seeking a remedy for the seven homes that live along that stretch of road. At the last meeting, Marth said Michel’s, the contractor hired by Spire to do the work, was actually fixing the road, and Spire told them to stop making the repairs.

Per the contract signed with the county, Spire is required to put the road back into the same or better condition than it was when they got here.

Comparing their situation to others, Marth said Morgan County has been in litigation with Dakota Access Pipeline over road repairs for more than two years.

Local band lives out dream in Cardinals band battle Inner Outlines moves on to ďŹ nals in competition

By JARAD JARMAN Greene Prairie Press Simply put, it was a dream- one Cody Walker and others in the band, Inner Outlines, never thought they would get to live out. “I really don’t know how to put it into words still,� Walker of Carrollton said. “I am still in shock that we even got to do it.�

Inner Outlines, which includes Walker on drums, Guitarists Andy Range of Greenfield and Dylan McCormick of Jacksonville, Doug Range of Greenfield on bass and Matt Hall of Jacksonville on vocals, has performed in small and big

venues, in some cases performing ahead of bands they admire. But, the stage they played at Aug. 20 held a little more weight than any they have played at before.

On that Tuesday evening, the 5-piece band performed to family, friends and strangers in one of their biggest shows yet, 105.7 The Point’s “Battle at Busch,� pitted against another band, Fire and Wood.

Battle at Busch 2019 features 18 local bands over the course of a few nights, at different Cardinals home games in the Budweiser Terrace. The bands that perform get judged on a point system by Mozingo (See, BAND BATTLE, A2)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Just wondering about wonders of the world Have you ever wondered about wonder?

I mean have you ever thought why you attribute beauty or awe to certain things?Have you ever been amazed how a large tree can grow from the tiniest crack in a massive rock?

Have you ever been rapt by a sunset, a blanket of fog, or a ridge of mountains in the fall?

I know you have. And I also know you’re beginning to think I’m spending too much time in a tree stand, bored from not seeing deer.

Not yet, but I can say this.

Deer hunters are people who get to see some of the greatest wonders of earth. Sitting in a tree stand for hours really can make you focus on every particular area in view and analyze its most

intricate pieces.

There, you are forced to think deeper than what is on the surface. You don’t just see a tree or a rock, but you see an oak and a piece of sandstone. You don’t just see an oak and a piece of sandstone; you see a strutting limb and a unique shape. You don’t just see a strutting limb or a unique shape; you see a guiding force that has sent a seed flying through the wind or a boulder rolling down a hill.

We have today what is known as the Seven Wonders of the World.

They are called “wonders” because the architecture of each structure is greater than the known ability of its designers at the time it was built.

This “wonder” is not only

in the form of question – “I wonder how these were built?” But the “wonder” here is also the prefix of “wonderful” — “What a wonderful sight to behold!”

Beauty is another feather in the hat of those of us who believe in God. Beauty cannot be explained by Darwin’s natural selection or randomness, and yet it is evident in every human. If I were to place the world’s most decorated physician alongside a member of the world’s most uncivilized jungle tribe, in front of the Grand Canyon, both would stand in utter awe at the beauty of such a scene.

In one way or another each would express the term “wonderful.”

But given enough time, “wonderful” would soon

m o v e our mind to “I wonder.”

That is, I wonder how all of this could happen.

And when “wonderful” is put with “I wonder,” the outcome is the same as my little rock and tree – there must be a guiding hand.

Judge Day (Continued from A1) rightful owner. The most unusual thing of all is that both of these dogs were named Boomer.”

Day said he has done everything from small claims cases under $10,000 to murder trials – often times in other counties.

“The Seventh Circuit includes Jersey, Greene, Scott, Morgan, Sangamon and Macoupin counties, and I have had cases in every one of those counties,” he said. “In fact, I have actually traveled up to Cook County for several weeks at a time hearing cases. They are so busy up there they sometimes ask for help from some of the downstate judges like myself.”

Day admits it is going to be strange not getting up every morning and going into work.

“It is definitely going to be a change of pace, because I have been working since I was 15-years-old,” he said. “I started out bucking bales of hay at $1 an hour and worked one summer at my parent’s café here in Carrollton for one summer before going off to college.”

Day attended MacMurray College and then the SIU School of Law. “Back then, MacMurray had a program where you could go for three years and then go to law school for three years and skip that fourth year of college, which was a pretty good deal,” Day said. “I went to summer

school, so I really got out in 2.5 years.”

Day graduated and was sworn in as an attorney at 23 years old.

“The day after I was sworn in, I left to go on active duty in the Marine Corps,” he said. “I served 3 years before being honorably discharged and set up an office with another local attorney here in Carrollton.”

Day said there was never any question that he would enter the law profession, though.

“A long time ago, there was a notorious murder case here in Greene County, and I remember riding my bike outside the courthouse, and I saw the two defendants being led out of the courthouse,” he said. “I thought that was very interesting and wanted to know what goes on in the courthouse.

“It just seemed like the law and legal profession was something I was just kind of drawn to. I never really considered anything else,” he continued.

Day took over from Judge Tom Roady.

“He was from Kane and was very well known and respected,” Day said.

“He kind of suggested to me that he was going to retire, and he thought I should try to get the position. I was really flattered by him suggesting that it was something I could do, and I decided I would give it a try.”

With still more than a year on his

term, Day said there are a couple of things he wants to do before he retires.

“The sheriff and I and the county board have been discussing court security, and I would like to get some court security in place before I retire,” Day said. “I think it is important not just for the security of the courthouse but also security for all of the employees who work here.”

Day said the security would be paid for through the Court Security Fund.

“When a court case is filed, there is a part of that fee that goes into this fund,” Day said. “I have let those funds accumulate, and there is a substantial amount of money in that fund that we would use to buy the metal detector.”

Day said the Court Security Fund would be used to buy the equipment, and the plan is to ask the county to pay half the cost of the security person.

His second goal before retirement is to establish a veteran’s court in the county.

“Right now the only veteran’s court available right now is in Sangamon County,” Day said. “It is similar to the drug court, which we do have now.”

One thing Days is sure of is that his replacement will step into a well-oiled machine.

“I think we have a smooth working system going here right now,” Day said. “We have some good people in the courthouse and things are working smoothly.”

Band battle (Continued from A1) Music and 105.7 The Point with a chance to move on to the finals and get closer to winning.

Walker said the band was asked to perform in March, and for Walker, it was a conflicting decision to make.

“I almost said no because I was so intimidated by it,” he said.

McCormick was a Braves fan. Hall was not much into sports. But for Walker, Andy and Doug it was a different story. Cardinals meant a great deal to the three. Cody said that just added to the pressure.

“I was a little intimidated,” Walker said. “Being a Cardinal’s fan, I always thought, ‘Oh man, that would be cool to play there.’ I have been a Cardinal’s fan my whole life.”

The thought never occurred that he would actually get the chance, though.

“Playing something of that magnitude was almost unobtainable to me,” the drummer said.

Despite any apprehension at the prospect of playing at the stadium, the band jumped at the opportunity, and Aug. 20, they took the stage.

It was a surreal experience,

Walker said.

Upon arriving, “Whoa” was the only thought that came to mind, he said.

On stage, the nerves were still there, Walker said, at least for him. He noted his band members were a little more relaxed about it all.

Walker attributed the butterflies to his parents and family who were in the crowd ready to see them perform.

“I was probably more nervous by the fact that my parents were watching me because my parents have given me everything,” he said.

Once that first note hit, though, everyone simply got in a groove and performed as if it were any other shows, with band members only making passing glances every now and then to each other noting the gravity of the experience and how cool it was. The local band performed originals including “Halo,” “It Is What It Is,” “It Is Not Safe Here,” and “Take Me,” which recently got a new music video.

Following their set, they found the dream would not end there.

The group was selected to move forward to the finals, performing along with three other bands-- Joe Miller Band, City

of Parks and Casey Bazzell-Monday, Sept. 16, starting at 6:45 p.m. at the Cardinals game against the Nationals.

“The fact that we get to do it once is insane to me,” he said.

“The fact that we get to do it a second time within a month of (of the other performance) is absolute insanity.”

Should they win the finals, they will get an interview on 105.7 The Point during a primetime slot as well as a gift card from a music store.

While winning the battle of the bands would be a highlight, Walker said the band already won.

“We already won because we got to play Busch Stadium two times,” he said.

The experience was unreal for the Carrollton drummer and the rest of the band, he said.

Walker started a band out of high school with Doug and Andy with intentions on getting Hall involved, but it split shortly after. Later on down the line, Walker reached out to Hall to jam together. Hall, at the time, was auditioning for “The Voice,” a televised singing competition.

Sometime in 2014, Walker got a message from Hall to meet up.

“The next day, we met up and had pizza and shot the bull and jammed a little bit,” Walker said. “It was kind of a snowball effect from there.”

Outside of Walker, Andy and Hall, the membership changed in the years to follow.

But, the band found footing with the inclusion of Doug and McCormick. All from different backgrounds and interests from metal to R&B, the band found themselves creating their own sound.

Walker said he had every intention of making a metal band but with pop and rock influences from other band members, their sound evolved into what they classify as rock. Their influences span 60 years of rock bands including Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Def Leppard, Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against, Pierce The Veil and Sevendust.

From the desk of Pastor David Slagle: Seasons are changing as we awoke this Sunday morning to rain showers and cooler temps.

I was reminded this morning just how blessed we are as Americans and Christians. We may choose the place we want to worship, to carry our Bible and to travel freely without any check points or the need to show papers as to who we are.

We were blessed this morning with a great group for our morning service.

Treated with special music and readings from several of our own.

Our text this morning was from John

Chapter 5:1-15 and titled: Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda. Bethesda is the Greek transliteration of a Hebrew or Aramic name meaning “House of Outpouring.” The pool of Bethesda was believed to be a pool of healing as we see in Verse Three: “A Great Multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for moving of the water. It was believed an Angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred the water and whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water was made well.”

I invite you to read these scriptures and see the interaction between a man

who had been sick for 38 years and Jesus. The question came up as to how Jesus knew this man had been sick for that many years and the answer is “We must remember that God is “omniscient” knowing all things.” We invite you to join us for Wednesday evening Bible study at 6:30 p.m. as we look at Priscilla and Aquila. Our recent prayer requests are Jody and Farrell, Betty, Dan and Ava, Reggie and Dianne. We look forward to seeing you in our Fellowship on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

Boyd Hospital offers early detection lung cancer screening program

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Thomas H. Boyd Hospital is participating in a lung cancer screening program in an effort to help catch lung cancer earlier.

Called the CT Lung Cancer Screening Program, it offers yearly low-dose computed tomography scanning as an additional preventative service benefit under the Medicare program for long-time smokers. “This is something we started offering about a year ago because a lot of the other hospitals weren’t offering it,� Boyd Hospital CEO Debbie Campbell said. “It’s a lot of work and commitment because there is a lot of paperwork involved and there are certain guidelines you have to follow.�

The program is for anyone between the age of 55 to 77 who has been a smoker for at least 30 years. Former smokers can also be included, but they must have quit smoking in the last 14 years. It is also only for people who smoke cigarettes.

“So far, we have had about 20 participants in the program because people simply don’t know we are doing it,� Campbell said. “Now, a lot of the other hospitals around are beginning to realize it might be something they should do as well.�

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. It is an especially critical issue for the Medicare population because of the age at diagnosis and at death.

Approximately two out of three people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older and less than two percent are younger than 45.

The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 70. “CT lung cancer screening offers the latest low dose computed tomography technology (CT) to aid in detecting lung cancer as early as possible in current or former heavy smokers,�

Campbell said. “It can identify lung cancer in its early stages when it is more likely to be treated successfully.�

The CT scan combines special x-ray equip-

ment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple cross-sectional images of the inside of the body.

With the low-dose CT scan, there is minimal risk of any effects from radiation exposure.

The machine uses about one-fifth the amount of radiation as a standard chest CT scan. The amount of radiation from a lowdose scan is about the same an average person receives in six months from natural background radiation from everyday living.

This particular screening is recommended only for adults who are asymptomatic of lung cancer symptoms, such as a cough that does not go away or gets worse, coughing up blood or rust colored sputum, chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing, hoarseness, weight loss, infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia that don’t go away or keep coming back or the onset of wheezing.

Campbell said that a CT lung cancer screening should not take the place of a routine CT scan.

“A CT lung cancer screening has a limited focus geared toward detecting suspicious nodules,� she said. “The technique utilized with CT lung cancer screening can limit detail as opposed to routine chest CT scan.�

Because CT scans can detect even very small nodules in the lung, they are especially effective for diagnosing lung cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage. “Out of our 20 participants, we have already found one person who actually has lung cancer,� Campbell said. “This scan found it in its very early stage so hopefully the outcome will be a positive one. But once they find cancer, you can no longer be in the program.�

Without screening, more than 70 percent of lung cancers are found at a late stage with little chance of a cure. “It is all about prevention and wellness, which is where we are supposed to be heading and what we are trying to promote with this program,� Campbell said. “We just felt like this was something that we needed to be offering.�

High schoolers present businesses in Greene-Calhoun CEO program The next generation of young people are the lifeblood of this, and any community, and GreeneCalhoun CEO is dedicated to investing in their future success.

Just this month, the CEO class of Greene and Calhoun counties, comprised of senior high school students, began the first of multiple business ventures that they will participate in this upcoming year.

This first business, the “badge business,� is an introduction to the world of advertising, cash flow, and group collaboration. The CEO students are told they need to create a badge for program participants and are tasked with figuring out the best way to do it.

The result is badges for the class, and the first taste for these young entrepreneurs of what it means to build something from scratch, with the input and perspectives of 10-15 other people.

This is what our community calls experiential learning - the CEO way.

The CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) program is a community-supported, investor funded class that will take place in Greene and Calhoun County local businesses over the next 9 months. It is not funded by the local schools, though, participants do receive school credit for their time commitment.

The program is a time commitment for students which includes getting up before school each day to visit area businesses, interacting with business leaders in the community to learn business basics, and, for each student, ultimately conceptualizing and creating their own legal, functioning business.

Because it is not funded by the school system, this program utilizes partnerships in the community (i.e. local investors and businesses) to provide students with business process and development education and to encourage the soft skills that will be necessary when entering the business world, all while shedding light on the businesses and opportunity that this community has to offer.

The effects that CEO has on students is remarkable. The program encourages responsible, entrepreneurial thinkers who contribute to their communities.

Greene-Calhoun CEO is grateful for its investors and for their role in making CEO a reality in our community. In this way they are keeping the spirit of entrepreneurship alive and investing in the next generation.

Are you interested in getting involved? Whether it’s in hosting a business visit, investing in the class itself, or simply in visiting a class, your inquiries are welcome! Please contact Shawn Rennecker for more information.
