Greene County moves out of warning level By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press For the first time in more than a month, Greene County has moved out of the warning level regarding the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases in the county. Greene County Health Department Public Health Administrator Molly Peters announced that, for the week of Sept. 13 through Sept. 19, the county had reduced its positivity rate to 5.8 percent. “The metrics still show a warning in our number of cases, but test positivity and tests performed

“The metrics still show a warning in our number of cases, but test positivity and tests performed were noted with no warnings.�

Molly Peters Greene Public Health Administrator were noted with no warnings,� Peters said. “There has been an increase in outbreak clusters in our neighboring county related to a large event. We are still encouraging that any planned events include masks, social

distancing and capacity limits of 50 individuals or less.� There will be a drive-thru testing site in Greenfield at the elementary school on Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. As of Tuesday, Sept. 29, there

have been a total of 229 positive cases in the county resulting in 15 deaths. Of those 15 deaths, 13 of them have been long term care patients at White Hall Nursing and Rehab – the county’s only long-term care facility. According to the health department, the 119-bed facility has seen 85 residents come down with the virus. In addition to dealing with COVID-19, the health department is also addressing the regular seasonal flu. Peters said they received their first shipment of flu vaccine last week, and it went quickly.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press While local libraries are not allowed to offer the typical indoor activities to engage their younger patrons in the joy of reading, thanks to the financial backing of the Tracy Family Foundation, the White Hall and Roodhouse libraries are able to offer a new Storywalk for the children to enjoy. The Tracy Family Foundation, a charitable arm of DOT Foods, supports libraries throughout the area in providing programing for the zero-5 population. “The Storywalk project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vt., and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian

Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library,� White Hall Librarian Penny Eilers said. “Storywalks can be seen all across the country. They are a great opportunity for families to get outside, move and read together. There is a little bit of excitement looking forward to the next page.� A book is chosen — in this case a children’s book — and the pages are blown up to laminated to attached to cardboard and placed on metal stakes in the ground. As you stroll along the path, you are directed to the next page in the story. Storywalks have been placed in all 50 states and in 12 countries including Germany, Canada, Malaysia, Pakistan and South Korea. (See, STORY, A2)

Carrollton moves forward to apply for bike path grant By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council met in special session Monday night where they approved to move forward with having Benton and Associates apply for an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program Grant for the construction of a bike path through the city that will essentially connect the city’s three parks. The city toyed with the idea back in 2017, but the council voted down the idea, and the grant application was never completed or submitted. Alderwoman Maria Cox asked for the special council meeting and made

a plea for the council to reconsider the chance for the city to receive 80 percent of the cost to construct a one mile track around the city for walking and biking. “I wasn’t on the council back then, but I remember reading a lot about it, and I was excited about it,� she said. “I have seen how bike and walking paths have benefitted other communities, and I was hoping it would happen here. Unfortunately, it didn’t move forward. “I feel like now, three years later, we have a perfect opportunity, as a city, to apply for this grant again. I have been looking at these bike path grants for a long time, and there is

more funding available now than there was back then. “Back in 2019, we developed the Comprehensive Plan for the future, and that plan adopted a policy for future decisions, and one of the things mentioned in that plan and one of the goals is to enhance the quality of life in Carrollton and make it more attractive, and this is a really good opportunity to do both of those things. “People are wanting more outdoor activities to do right now because of COVID-19, and there aren’t a lot of outdoor activities to do around here, and this is something everyone could use.

“This is not about me or the city – this is about making the town better for the people who might live here now and for those who might choose to live here in the future. This really excites me as a council member, and I’m willing to take the lead on this project, and I’m asking the council and community to support this.� Most of the preliminary works were already done and paid for back in 2017 by the city’s engineers, Benton and Associates, including the maps and graphs showing where the trails will be – including benches and lights.

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Was I missed during my vacay? You might have noticed my column was conspicuously absent in last week’s edition of the paper. There was a good reason for that. I was on a much needed sabbatical. Sometimes, I like to use fancy words. Most people would just refer to it as a vacation, but even that isn’t the correct term. I think it is called a stay-cation because I didn’t go anywhere – I just stayed at home. Can’t afford to go anywhere, and I have no one to watch the kids anyway. Plus, I’m just an old homebody at heart anyway. I planned this “stay-cation” at least six weeks in advance. I sat down and mentally made a list (because putting it down on paper would be too “final”) of what I wanted to get accomplished. Then, that would lead to my being a failure, and you know what? I didn’t get one single thing accomplished. What’s more – I don’t care. You know what I did for a solid week? I colored! Yes, you read that right. I colored – just like I did when I was a child, and it was the most relaxing week I have ever spent. In case you don’t want to hear about my childhood, you might want to just skip to another article cause I’m putting on my reminiscing cap now. As I sat on my back porch on my swing with that coloring book and those crayons, I was whisked away to a much simpler time in my life – a time when I had no worries and no cares – a time I wish I could go back to now. As I sat there coloring, I could see myself sitting at the kitchen table coloring. There was a bedroom off the kitchen which we referred to as the “back bed-

room.” This was my toy room because this was where my toys were. In this room was a big red plastic container that used to hold 45 records. Now, it contained all of my crayons. There must have been 200 crayons in there. Some of them were no more than two inches long, and I’m sure some of them were probably 20 years old or more. My neighbor or my aunt would come over to talk with my mom and they would always sit at the kitchen table drinking coffee and smoking. As much as I hated the smoke, I also hated being alone all the time, so I would sit there coloring and listening to them gabbing. Of course, I also relished the praise they heaped on me when I showed them my masterpieces. I don’t know exactly when it became “uncool” to color, but it did. I also don’t know what ever happened to that box of crayons – probably left behind when I moved to Carrollton, but in my mind, I can still see that room – the kitchen table and my mom and aunt sitting there talking and my 7-year-old self sitting there coloring. Like everything I do, I do nothing halfway – I go all out. I bought a box of generic crayons at Dollar Tree. I was not happy. Bought a generic box at Walmart and was not happy with those either. Decided to spring for the Crayola brand. Let me tell you folks – do not buy anything but the genuine article. It ain’t worth it. Nothing can compare. I thought I would be sparing a lot of folks a lot of grief and money so I shared this bit of wisdom with some parents, and they said, “Oh, I know.” My thought was, "Well, then why the heck didn’t you tell me?”

Story

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Then, I saw the box of Crayola 96 and just had to see what those extra colors were. They were awesome. Now, I want to get the Much Ado glitter and gel boxes About of them. Nothing I started out with one coloring book – BY CARMEN a color by number ENSINGER because I didn’t want the daunting task of trying to choose what colors to make things, but quickly tired of the crappy colors they chose to make things. When I got bold enough to choose my own colors, I moved up and started choosing others. I chose some adult ones and ended up buying markers and pencils for the more intricate ones, but honestly, I prefer the crayons. Nothing is as satisfying as using a crayon. Plus, I just love sharpening them. Some of the adult coloring books have scenes that are large enough to use crayons but intricate enough that you can spend hours on them. Some of them I have spent as much as four hours on. I sit here, watch television and color away. It’s relaxing, and I have to say that I have not had a migraine since I started coloring. Of course, I started on medication for them too, so that could be the reason as well. But I can think what I want – it’s my column. Anyway, I’m back for now – but I got two more weeks coming, so look out. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Q Carmen Ensinger is a pet-lover and a reporter for Campbell Publications.

Warning (Continued from A1) “It wasn’t a large number of doses, but we are happy to say that following our walk-up flu clinic, our stock has been depleted,” she said. “There will be more flu vaccine to come, and our shipments will continue.” Peters said several individuals had called in to request their flu shots early, so they didn’t promote the walk-up clinic because so many had pre-registered. “We will be getting more flu vaccine in the coming weeks and will plan several more clinics in the area in the future,” Peters said.

They have continued with childhood immunizations throughout COVID19, but it is getting close to school exclusion dates, and they are encouraging all that need immunizations to call ahead for an appointment.

Be thankful for people who keep from getting lost I’ve learned over the years to keep a watchful eye when I travel to a tree stand in an unfamiliar place. I especially do this when I’m hunting in another state. I’ve been lost a few times. When I’m walking in, I always try to turn around and look back to see what the view looks like going in the opposite direction. I mark certain topographical differences such as a fallen tree or one that has a certain shape or characteristic. I also take with me some marking ribbon just in case I have to wander through the woods in search for an animal I may have shot. I will mark my path back to my tree stand. Again, I’ve just hunted long enough to understand no matter how experienced I may think I am, I can and will get turned around in a strange place. One of the simplest inventions that came along a few years ago was reflective tacks. They are pushed into a tree and when passed over with a flashlight, will make a path look like an airport runway. I’ve hunted in some places where these tacks were put on both sides of the path every few feet all the way to the foot of the tree where I was to hunt. Because someone marked my path there was no way I was getting lost. When I think about the most important things in my life, I am equally thankful some folks marked a clear path to keep me from getting lost. And even though I chose to stray from that path many times, it was not because the path was not marked suffi-

c i e n t l y. Wisdom is knowing when to blaze your own trail and when to understand the trail others have blazed is the only way to go. It is also making sure you have marked the correct trail for those who will come after you. There are some areas in life those who follow us must find for themselves; things like their purpose or what their passions are. There is no shortcut for these pursuits. In other areas we can save them a lot of heartaches if we will clearly mark the path and warn them concerning leaving its narrow way. Even though I had some great guides in my life I also know if others had also accepted their responsibility for pointing me the right way, I could have learned a lot of important lessons earlier than I did. Don’t ever be afraid to mark the path when you are sure where it leads. It will help an untold number of individuals. I’d love to speak at your next outdoor event. ––––––––––––––––––– Q *DU\ KDV WKUHH ERRNV that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

Remington Williams gets ready to go on his first Storywalk last week at the White Hall Township Library. The new adventure is made possible through funding from the Children are able to go on a pint-sized adventure by traveling around the library, reading a story page by page.

(Continued from A1) White Hall has had their Storywalk up for a couple weeks and Roodhouse will have theirs up beginning the first week in October. White Hall’s is located next to the library and Roodhouse’s will be set up in the park across the street from the library. The story currently on display in White Hall is “We’re Going on a Hunt,” which is the story of three friends who go on a fun leaf finding adventure. They hike over mountains and through

the forest collecting leaves. There is a lot of movement to the story in their quest to find unique leaves in the forest setting. The story will change often, and in October the story will be “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything.” This is the story of a little old woman who takes a walk one night one night and runs across some scary things and ends up facing her fears and finds out those things were not so scary after all.

Drugs (Continued from A1) Chief Goode said that just prior to the pursuit ending, the suspects had allegedly discarded a loaded 9mm handgun, along with a large bag containing 224 grams of amphetamines out the window of the vehicle. Both of these items were recovered by officers on the scene. Both suspects were evaluated for injuries and later booked into

Greene County Jail. Wallace has been charged with armed violence, felony possession of a firearm, aggravated fleeing, possession 200-600 pills of ecstasy and manufacturing 200-600 pills ecstasy. Whitaker has been charged with manufacturing of 200-600 pills of ecstasy and possession of pills of ecstasy.

Faul food fun If there is food cooking on a grill in Carrollton, you can bet there is a Faul behind it. Bernie Faul and his grandson, Jacob Faul, were trying to beat out the rain Monday afternoon cooking up porky burgers at the Carrollton Farmer’s Market. They lost on this batch but were successful on the prior batch. Luckily, it was a short-lived shower.

Bike (Continued from A1) “Costs have gone up since that time, but they have also put a lot more money into this program this year,” Benton and Associates Engineer Bill Sleeman said. “In 2017, they had a total of $35 million for the projects, and this year they have tripled that amount to $105 million so, your chances are a lot better.” The grant is a competitive grant, and it is an 80/20 grant with the city having to come up with 20 percent of the cost of the project. The total cost of the project will be $477,365 with the city’s portion coming to $103,453. The grant application is due no later than Nov. 2, and the city must have secured the funding in order to be eligible to receive the grant. The cost to prepare the grant is $1,500, but because Benton’s had started the grant in 2017 and the city had paid them $900 of this amount, to finish the grant and submit it, the cost will only be $600. There is no application fee for the grant. Mayor Joe Montanez said he knows there are a lot of people in the community who are walkers and bikers and has had several people ask him if the city was going to entertain the idea of pursuing the bike trail in the future. “I just returned from Minneapolis, and they have 40 miles of bike trails that connect every single community with hundreds of people walking through the area, and I was so impressed with that,” he said. “It would be great if we could have something like that here. We already own the land, and it is something we can entertain again, and if we can do it, it would be a dream come true for this community. I would like to see the people come together

to make this a reality.” Alderman Larry Gillingham had a problem with the city committing to spending over $100,000 on a bike path, and wants to see those people who want to see it become a reality to come forward and “put their money where their mouth is.” “This should be a community effort and not just the city, and the first step should be to involve those people who support this,” he said. “They should come together and make a plan and come up with the revenue for the city’s share of this. I would say my overall rules is to leave the general fund alone. Do not take any tax money to put in this project at this point — let’s see if there is a commitment and a dedication to this project. “I know there are people who say they want it, but let’s see them put their money where their mouth is.” Gillingham also noted that once it was built, it would be a constant bleed on the taxpayers for repair. Sleeman, however, shot down that notion. “It’s not like you are going to have heavy vehicles traveling on it,” he said. “You might have to seal some cracks every three to five years, but it’s not going to cost that much to keep it in good repair.” The surface itself will be 10-foot-wide asphalt base two inches thick over six inches of rock. Sleeman noted that it is the same as the surface that is at Lake Jacksonville. The area in Carrollton will be 5,300 feet, just a little over a mile. City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap noted that she had been in contact with Dwight Reynolds with the USDA, and it is possible that the city could receive a USDA grant to pay for their 20 percent portion of the grant.

Sleeman said it is taxpayer money, and the city might as well try to get some of it. “If you don’t try to get this money that the state is giving away, then Jerseyville will or someone else will,” he said. “You might as well see some good come out of your own tax dollars, and this is a good way to do that.” Mayor Montanez was 100 percent behind the project. “The citizens of this community deserve a place where they can enjoy being with their families,” he said. “When we addressed this a couple years ago, we came very close to getting it passed, but there was a decision by the council that it wasn’t the right time to move forward with it. “But now, the stores are sold out of bikes. People in these hard times are doing things together and are coming together and walking as a family and biking together and doing recreational things together. It’s a whole different mental atmosphere now and we have to do something. “I agree with you, Larry, times are hard financially, but I think a $600 investment to pursue what can be done would be well worth it on our part. I would like to see us be able to think outside of the box instead of have shallow thoughts about things. I think it is a great project. If we can get this community involved and see if they have the same vision we have, then I think we can accomplish this. I think this is going to be a bold move forward.” Two motions were on the agenda: one to apply for the ITEP grant which Gillingham voted against and one to pay Benton’s the application fee to prepare, which the entire council, including Gillingham, voted in favor of.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle — 473-1892. It has been several weeks of very pleasant weather and now rain is in the forecast. I really enjoy the changing of seasons, but I do have a confession to make: I do not care for cold weather at all. Alas, there is not much I can do but go with flow as someone reminded me. We enjoyed a good group of God’s family this morning including two visitors. We are still collecting nonperishable food items for the North Greene food pantry. These items will be delivered to the food pantry in time for Thanksgiving. Here are two dates to put on your calendar: Sunday, Nov. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 13. Nov. 15 is the date for

our church Thanksgiving dinner, and we look forward to seeing you. Our Christmas concert will be on Sunday morning, Dec. 13 during our regular morning worship time. There will be a luncheon following the concert. We will welcome Serenity Sounds and Servants’ Hearts as they come to present the Christmas story in music and testimony. Our message this morning dealt with two topics that I have been asked often: “What happens if I die before the rapture� and “Will I go to Heaven if my body is cremated?� The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:5054. God will resurrect all believers who have died, give them glorified bodies and take them from earth, along with all living believers, who will also

be given glorified bodies at that time. What happens to my body? My body after death has no bearing on my soul’s destination. What might happen to my body after death will not cause the soul to be expelled from Heaven. I invite you to read Luke 12:4 — “My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.� Our recent prayer requests are the family of Terry Cordles, Stacy, Ashley, White Hall Nursing and Rehab — all workers and residents, Casey, Vera and Bob, Bill and Donna Smith, Marjie, Susan and Robert, Harold, Bud and Diane, Mellisa and Macy. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. for our worship service and Wednesday evening for our Bible study at 6:30 p.m.

A Sense of Divinity “For in him we live and move and have our being.� Acts 17:28 NIV

T

he Protestant reformer John Calvin used the Latin phrase “Sensus Divinitatus� to name a hypothetical sense that he believed we all have for the divine. That is, he believed that there is something innate in us that gives us knowledge of God. As he put it, “That there exists in the human mind and indeed by natural instinct, some sense of Deity [sensus divinitatis], we hold to be beyond dispute, since God himself, to prevent any man from pretending ignorance, has endued all men with some idea of his Godhead.� Calvin had given a new name to an old idea. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 we are told that God “has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.� Thus, while this innate sense doesn’t give us complete knowledge, it does allow us to sense God’s presence. Saint Anselm, when introducing his famous argument for the existence of

God, quotes Psalm 14, saying that the fool has said in his heart “there is no God.� But the fool is blinded by sin, and his belief that there is no God is in reality wishful thinking. Atheists often claim that theists are engaging in wishful thinking by hoping that they will spend eternity in paradise, but it might just as plausibly be argued that since all have sinned and wish to avoid our just desserts, some might wish that there is neither God nor an afterlife in which to reap our just desserts. Being open to the presence of God is often all we need to experience His presence. – Christopher Simon

St. John’s forfeits game to Greenfield principal doubles Calhoun for COVID-19 concerns as guidance counselor

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It was a tough decision to make, but the coaches and parents of the St. John’s Lady Redbirds decided to err on the side of caution and chose to forfeit the chance to advance to the regional championship game on Saturday. The Lady Redbirds were scheduled to play the Lady Warriors in the semi finals on Friday, but upon learning that Calhoun had gone to remote learning, partially because of an outbreak of COVID-19 in the county with a few cases in the school, it was the decision of the coaches and parents at St. John's to forfeit the game rather than travel to Calhoun and possibly expose their team or fans to the virus. “We have not had any cases in our school so far, and we are trying to keep it that way,” St. John’s Superintendent Julie Lake said. “I really didn’t have that much to do with the decision – that was left up to the coaches and

parents, but I admire them for making the hard decision that they did. I know we are doing everything we can to keep the virus out of our school.” St. John’s is the only school in the county to not have a student or teacher test positive for the virus. Calhoun Superintendent Andrea Lee said she was not called ahead of St. John’s decision and noted that the Calhoun team would not have played without the OK from the health department. Lee said there were not any concerns, as none of the kids on the team had the virus or were exposed to the virus. She stressed they would not have played if it were unsafe to do so. This is the first year that St. John’s has boasted their own girls’ softball team. Last year, and for many years prior, St. John’s has co-oped with Carrollton. The Carrollton Hawks also made it to the regional and ended up defeating the Warriors 5-3 to take home the regional title.

Tiger tales

Greenfield CUSD has much to celebrate this week. Congratulations to the GNW junior high baseball and softball teams. Both teams won their respective regionals last week. We are so very proud of you. Also, the Fleur-de-Lis chapter of National

Honor Society will welcome new members this week. Congratulations to Kellen Bowman, Joelle Ford, Tanner Goode, Drew Hallock, Brady Pembrook, Emma Ratliff, Jayden Smith, Drake Stuart and Sam Walker. Have a great week. Go get ‘em, Tigers!

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press For the time being, Greenfield High School Principal Beth Bettis is also doubling as the high school guidance counselor. Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said the district added 10 hours a week to Bettis’ duties to be a part-time guidance counselor, because their guidance counselor took a job with another district. “She was the previous guidance counselor,” he said. “We hired an academic dean that is hopefully going to go back to school and get her guidance counselor certificate, but that will take some time.” Bowman said each year the administrators get together and update the administrators strategic planning targets, and this year they added only one strategic planning goal — to develop and implement an effective curriculum to meet the needs of all students and ensure curriculum alignment with the Illinois learning standards put in place to provide a continuance of education during COVID-19 along with maintaining student safety with personal protection equipment, required transportation modification for student safety, hand cleaning regiment and online instruction and remote learning capabilities. The district has only around 30 remote learners with roughly 10 of those 30 at the high school and the rest at the elementary school. “All in all, we have had a pretty solid start to the school year considering we are in the midst of a pandemic,” Bowman said. The district leaders are holding off on the repair of the high school roof until they take care of an issue with the plaster in the auditorium. “Hopefully in the next two years, we will have new roofs on all the buildings in the district,” Bowman said. “But, we had this one area we were concerned about in the auditorium that we felt needed addressed right now.” Greenfield High School is one of the oldest original high schools in the county having been built in 1924. “The reason it is still standing is that it has been taken care of over the years,” Bowman said. “The exterior has been taken care of over the years, but the key is to keep a good roof on a building, and that is what we are trying to do.” Bowman said the building was made ADA compliant in 1990, and a lot of upgrades were also made in 1990. “We have been repairing windows and upgraded quite a bit in the auditorium already,” Bowman said. “We are scheduled to redo windows throughout the building, which were done last in the 1980s, so we have done a pretty good job of maintaining the building.” Bowman said he wanted to give high praise to the students and teachers for their ability to adapt to the situations they

are now forced to teach and learn under because of social distancing and mask wearing. “The kids have really adjusted well to wearing the masks, and the teachers are doing a great job in both of my districts,” he said. “Everyone is doing what they should be doing because they want to have school. My parents have been especially supportive. I know there are some that don’t want to wear a mask, but they have taught their kids that this is what the school says, and this is what the law says, and you will be wearing your mask to school, and the kids know that this is what they have to do to go to school. Everyone is working together to keep things going.” A child’s temperature is taken when they get on the bus, and staff at the school also take a child’s temperature at the entrance to the school. Janitorial staff are constantly going around wiping off commonly used surfaces and doorknobs at different times and taking notes of the times those surfaces are wiped off. “We keep pretty good notes about where we have been so we don’t miss an area,” Bowman said. “We check those notes at various times in our buildings to make sure we are being safe, and we are doing all we can here to stop the spread of the virus. Everybody just has to work together. This hasn’t been easy on anyone.” As for the bus situation, Bowman said he has asked parents to take their children to school if possible. “We have to limit our bus capacity to 50 now,” he said. “We have been working with parents and put out a note that if you can bring your child to school then please do. That way we don’t have as many on the buses so we can space them out more. If you are in the same family you can sit together.” He said there has been a decrease in bus riders since last year. “We have seen a decrease in bus riders from last year,” he said. “Either their parents are bringing them or their siblings or perhaps an extended family member like a grandparent or aunt or uncle or cousin, but there are times when they can’t bring them, and I think those parents are still confident that we can keep their child safe riding the bus because we have all worked together to keep it as safe as possible.” Bowman said after each route, each bus is sprayed down as well as wiped down. “It has been a challenge, but it is something that we have had to pull together to make happen and all of our drivers have been very supportive in doing that,” he said. “I think the best thing we can do for kids is to keep them in school because they need it. It is something I can’t express to parents enough. There is no substitute for the classroom and the socialization and the teaching that is going on in the classroom. I feel bad for someone that has to be remote at any time because it is more of a challenge. You have to be a very strong student. College kids even struggle with remote learning.”

It is a bit smaller than she might have hoped, but even still, Magdalene Lawson sports a “new ride” for her first day of first grade at North Greene Elementary.

Barbara Jean Rabe Schollmeier Schnelten turned 83 years old on Sept. 24. She was born east of White Hall on the Bradshaw mound in 1937. She has lived in Greene County all her life and has been on her farm in Athensville Township for over 50 years. Barb celebrated her birthday with family and said she had a wonderful day. Anytime any of her children or grandchildren — or neighbors even — come to visit, she always wants to send them home with something. At the end of the day on her birthday, she wanted to send her son, Eric Schnelten, home with some sweet potatoes she had planted. Imagine her surprise when she unearthed this bad boy. Schnelten weighed the potato, and it registered at 6 pounds. Needless to say, Barb had an awesome birthday surprise, and now it’s time for sweet potato pie!

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 1970 ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION

CONGRESSIONAL

Explanation of Amendment

FOR REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS THIRTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (Vote for one)

The proposed amendment grants the State authority to impose higher income tax rates on higher income levels, which is how the federal government and a majority of other states do it. The amendment would remove the portion of the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that is sometimes referred to as the "flat tax," that requires all taxes on income to be at the same rate. The amendment does not itself change tax rates. It gives the State the ability to impose higher tax rates on those with higher income levels and lower income tax rates on those with middle or lower income levels. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become a part of the Illinois Constitution. For the proposed amendment of Section 3 of Article IX of the Illinois Constitution.

Hobson, appeared with his public defender, Tom Piper, and Special Prosecutor Jennifer Mudge in Greene County Circuit Court Monday morning in front of Judge Jack Davis, and both parties agreed to continue the pre-trial hearing until next March. Hobson was charged on Oct. 23 of 2019 with two counts of cruel treatment and two counts of owners duties relating to the discovery of four horses found on his property near death from starvation. The cruel treatment charges allege that Hobson, between June 18 and

Sept. 17 cruelly treated horses by failing to provide adequate food and veterinary care to a palomino colt and a 15-year-old bay mare gelding in his care, who both had open wounds that went untreated. The owner’s duties charges allege that Hobson neglected his duties as an owner by failing to provide adequate food and water to a 25-year-old paint mare and a 10-year-old buckskin mare. The four horses were found near death on Sept. 18 and removed from the property by the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, as previously reported. Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen described the horses, including one young foal, as severely underweight. One of the horses and the foal allegedly had lacerations that had gone untreated and were infested with flies and maggots.

According to McMillen, the horses were already the subject of an investigation by the Illinois Department of Agriculture alleging abuse. The department received the complaint earlier this year and made a visit to the property. When the department returned to check on the horses, Hobson had not complied with their orders to provide them veterinary care and they were in much worse condition than before. Hobson would not voluntarily surrender the horses so the sheriff’s department was called in to help with removing the horses from the property on Sept. 18. After seeing the severe, neglected condition of the horses, McMillen opted to open a criminal investigation and presented his findings to the Greene County State’s Attorney. Hobson’s next appearance will be on March 19 at 9 a.m.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, maintaining balance will be challenging this week. There’s a conflict for which you can’t seem to find a resolution. Give things a little more time.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your artistic side is ready to get a little attention. Maybe you will redecorate a room or design a website. Channel those creative urges purposefully.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 You may be daydreaming a bit too much lately, Gemini. It’s time to get your head out of the clouds and focus on some practical matters that need to be addressed.
