A

request to change legal council regarding road repair issues in Roodhouse Township made by County Engineer David Marth was met with opposition from the County Board at a special meeting held Friday, Aug. 30.

Marth said there is a five-mile stretch of road on 1000 East in Roodhouse Township that is almost impassable after Spire laid pipeline in that area. “Spire signed a road-use agreement saying they would make necessary road repairs above and beyond normal maintenance during the project,� Marth said. “Long story short, Michels, the contractor, was making repairs to the road, and Spire stopped all repairs in complete conflict with the agreement.�

Spire started work in that area back

in February, and the road has been virtually unusable since that time. “Our current legal council has been 100 percent powerless to get them to comply with the agreement they negotiated with Spire,� Marth said. “So where we are at is we have about five miles of road, which is hazardous to anyone driving any speed. Spire has blocked Michels from making any more repairs to that road, and we have been unsuccessful with our current counsel to get anything done with that road.�

Marth said, to date, the county has incurred around $10,000 in legal fees with present council. “We ended up paying for the structural load rating analysis, which is also supposed to be supplied by Spire in accordance with the agreement,�

Marth said. “Our legal counsel was unsuccessful in getting that done, so finally to protect the county’s liability, I had people I know give us a cut rate price and get it done.�

Greene County Days has a lot to offer

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With lots of events going on throughout Greene County this weekend during Greene County Days, one stop surely not to miss is Roodhouse.

Roodhouse has always had sort of a separate Greene County Days, promoting and organizing the events on their own. This year, they have a stacked line-up of events on Friday and Saturday. “Myself and a group of other dedicated individuals have worked hard to insure that there is something for everyone at this year’s Greene County Days,� Nicole Robison, an organizer, said.

The activities will kick off on Friday with 20 vendors setting up on the Roodhouse Square by 10 a.m. in addition to five different food vendors.

The Roodhouse Fire

Department will be selling ribeyes and porky burgers, the Boy Scouts will be selling hot dogs and have baked goods to help raise money for their troop, Ed Baker will be making kettle corn and Willie’s BBQ and Powell’s Concessions will also be offering a variety of food. During that time, the Ice Cream Depot will be open offering ice cream and other food for sale.

The big day, however, is Saturday, when the action centers on the crowning of the future royalty of Greene County beginning at 3 p.m. “This year we have seven young ladies vying for the title of Miss Greene County,�

Robison said. “There are also six young ladies in the contest for Junior Miss Greene County and 12 little ladies going for Little Miss Greene (See, GREENE, A2)

Carrollton Chamber hears arguments against TIF proposal

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Members of the Carrollton Chamber of Commerce and other community members met at the Carrollton Grade School on Aug. 28 to hear a presentation by Carrollton Superintendent Mark Halwachs on the impact the proposed Carrollton TIF district will have on the school district. “The biggest impact on our district is going to be that the tax rate on property in a TIF is frozen, not just for us but for all of the other taxing bodies,�

Halwachs said. “We won’t see any increase in tax dollars from these properties for 23 years.�

“Our district wants to see a thriving downtown area, and we have the same goal as the city on that but to me – not at the expense of the taxing bodies of the tax payer.�

Mark Halwachs Carrollton Superintendent Halwachs said the claim that districts who have a TIF will be compensated by the State for the loss in funding is erroneous. “The new Evidence Based Funding (EBF) model gives no benefit if you have a TIF in

your district,� he said. “You are not going to be compensated by the state.�

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Editor’s note: This is second and last part of a series on the proposed Carrollton TIF district from a special meeting held with Moran Economic Development President Keith Moran on Aug. 20. This week focuses on the objectives that a TIF hopes to achieve.

The main purpose behind a TIF district is to promote economic development and help a community grow by encouraging new investment into the community along with a growth of population.

Basically, a TIF district reallocates tax dollars from future growth on areas located within the proposed TIF district. Other taxing bodies, such as school districts, fire districts, library, parks, etc. do not lose any of the current portion of tax dollars they now receive on these areas within the district.

However, they do lose out on any future growth in these areas, which has become a contentious point for these public bodies.

Illinois not ready for impact of legal cannabis

By BILL HOAGLAND The new law in Illinois authorizing the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes was signed into law on June 25, 2019. This law, known as “The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act”; legalizes possession and sales of recreational marijuana in Illinois as of January 1, 2020.

Illinois is now the eleventh state to legalize the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes.

Unfortunately, Illinois is not currently prepared to deal with a very important public safety issue that will exist as of January 1, 2020; that issue is how to accurately test motorists who have been using marijuana to determine if their driving skills are impaired.

Most Illinois drivers are familiar with the rules regarding driving while under the influence of alcohol. If your blood alcohol level is .08, you are presumed to be “driving under the influence”. This can easily be determined by a breathalyzer test administered roadside or if necessary, by a blood test administered at police headquarters.

And most drivers who drink alcohol know or should know that more than four alcoholic drinks per hour will put you over that .08 threshold.

Overall, this strict standard in Illinois has kept a lot of drunk drivers off the roads. I, personally, know lots of folks who no longer drive after having more than the proverbial “couple of beers” because of this strict standard.

But unfortunately, the methods traditionally used

to test drunk drivers will not work to accurately test drivers who have been using marijuana to determine if they are impaired. To back up a bit first, the new Illinois law provides in essence that if a suspected driver has a concentration of five or more nanograms of THC (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol) per millimeter as determined in a whole blood test, there is a rebuttable presumption that the driver is driving under the influence of drugs.

If a suspected driver has between three and five nanograms of THC, however, there is a rebuttable presumption that the driver is not driving under the influence of drugs, meaning that the prosecution could still offer evidence of impairment to sustain a conviction if they wanted to pursue it. Anything less than three nanograms is apparently irrelevant.

For a lot of reasons, it is now generally recognized that blood levels of THC in a particular individual are not directly correlated to whether that driver is impaired. In fact, there is some basis to think that even the five nanograms of THC as a threshold for driving under the influence of drugs is without scientific merit and may someday be challenged as being unconstitutional.

To further complicate things, the tests other than a blood test that are routinely given to determine if the driver is over the 5 nanograms threshold—the breath test, the saliva test, the urine test and the mouth swab— are also unreliable for a lot of reasons, which we don’t have time or space to go into today. The result of this

is that currently, the most reliable “test” seems to be the so-called 12-step roadside evaluation in, which the driver is asked to perform a number of physical and mental functions.

In Colorado, for example, where they have been dealing with this issue for a while now, police still rely heavily on this roadside test to determine impairment.

And to assist in that testing, certain police personnel, referred to as “Drug Recognition Experts” are specifically trained to recognize drug impairment.

These persons are routinely called to the scene of a traffic stop to make that determination if drugs appear to be involved. Obviously, this is a very subjective matter and frankly, any criminal defense lawyer worth his salt should normally be able to obtain a not guilty verdict under those circumstances.

So where do we stand in Illinois when possession under the new cannabis law becomes legal on Jan. 1?

How will the police determine if a motorist is driving under the influence of marijuana to the point that they are impaired? At this point, no one really seems to know for sure. The Act created a commission, known as the “DUI Cannabis Task Force”, to study the problem and to make recommendations to the Governor by July 1, 2020, on how to deal

with the issue.

That means that there still might not be an acceptable means of testing by July 1 of next year. And until then, the police will need to rely on whatever tests that they can render—even the personal observation test— to make a case of driving under the influence of drugs; frankly, the conviction rate is probably going to be low until they can come up with a more accurate means of testing.

Maybe until a new and effective roadside blood test, saliva test or urine test is devised, all traffic stops in which drugged driving is suspected should be videotaped, particularly that part of the testing procedure when the driver is asked to perform the required 12-step evaluation.

That would seem to remove some of the subjective factors that will plague getting convictions for driving under the influence of drugs.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Everything has value including you I’ve always prided myself on trying anything once.

Now that doesn’t mean that I throw all caution to the wind and do things like swim with alligators, but generally I’m game for giving something a first shot.

This especially goes for food unless its worms, bugs, and slugs. That’s where I draw the line.

Over the years I’ve made my way through the lines of many wild game dinners.

I’ve eaten everything from turtle to buffalo. I’ve also tasted my share of seafood. I love crab legs, but I’ve also tried a few squid as well.

And then there’s the common pig.

If you live in the south, you’ve heard that when it comes to a pig, you can eat

everything but the squeal. If you can’t fry it then pickle it and somebody will eat it.

I’d just like to have been with the first person who cut a pig’s ear off and said, “I wonder what that tastes like?” The good thing about all of this is that nothing is going to waste and that all parts are deemed important.

As I sit in my chair at my computer, I look at the wall in front of me. There in a frame is a turkey feather. Not the turkey but a feather of the turkey; and not one of the long beautiful tail feathers but one of the shorter, less attractive ones.

What makes this feather of value is that someone has painted a beautiful picture of a gobbler in full strut right in the middle of it. They

have made the unimportant important and the worthless of value. They have taken the lesser part of the turkey and turned it into one that’s desirable.

Sometimes we think our contribution to mankind is of no value. We think because our worth or beauty is not seen immediately, it must not be very important. That couldn’t be further from truth.

Nothing God has created is meant to go to waste. He has given all of us worth. He has deemed all of us important. Some in life may be considered part of the plumage. They may, seemingly, be more beautiful and noticeable than others. But tell me what would that old tom do if he had all his long beau-

tiful tail feathers and was bald everywhere else?

Those twentys o m e feathers may look good to us but on a cold rainy day, I’m sure he had rather have those hundreds of little ones that keep him warm and dry.

Spire (Continued from A1) Marth said a big concern was with the project timeline. It is almost complete, and once the construction company moves out, the repairs will have to be made by the township. Marth estimates the cost to repair the road to be in the neighborhood of $250,000 to $300,000. Then, they can only hope that Spire will pay the township for the repairs, he said.

“My fear is based on Spire’s response to all of these issues to date,” Marth said. “They are going to be less than forthcoming when the project is done in paying retribution to Roodhouse Township. They have already blocked Michels from making the repairs that are needed, and we have been unsuccessful in getting them motivated.”

Marth doesn’t want them to get to the next phase before getting the issue settled.

“When they enter this phase, they will have to go into a settlement phase where Spire is going, by the agreement, settle with the various entitles on road damage and repair cost,” he said.

Marth said he had reservations going into that phase with current

legal counsel.

Morgan County has been in litigation for two years with Dakota Access over the pipeline running through their county and Roodhouse Township doesn’t have the money to make the needed repairs to the road.

Board member Michael McNear argued there might not be anything a new legal counsel would do that would prove more successful.

“Just because you don’t get what you want doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything,” McNear said. “What you are standing here telling me is that the current council isn’t doing anything. I don’t know if they are or not. They might be doing just what they need to be doing.”

McNear leaned on their expertise in the field beyond his own.

“I would think they know what they are doing – at least I am going to assume they know what they are doing,” McNear said. “If you say they negotiated this agreement, then they should know it better than any of the rest of us. So, if they don’t have any ground right now to do anything – well why does that seem odd.”

Marth said communications with Spire have been done through attor-

ney’s by email.

McNear asked if Greene County States Attorney Caleb Briscoe had talked with the attorney’s.

Briscoe, who said he didn’t even know of the meeting until 10 minutes before it started, said this was the first he had heard of it.

“I was cc’d copies of emails back when this first started around February, but in the last couple of months, I have seen nothing,” Briscoe said. “I can certainly contact legal council on behalf of the county.”

One question asked by a board member was if there was an alternate route to this specific area. As far as alternate routes, Marth said there are roads that can get an individual from place to place but not for the seven people who live on that road. They have no alternative but to drive down the road, which is deemed hazardous at the moment.

McNear said before there was any decision made to change council, he wanted to talk with council. A special meeting has been set up for 9 a.m.

Monday, Sept. 9. The next county board meeting where a vote could possibly be taken to change council, is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Greene Field Farms opens this weekend

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press This weekend will be a jampacked one, not only because of the Greene County Days activities slated throughout. Also, Greene Fields Farm, located on Daum Station Road between Greenfield and Carrollton, will be opening.

Greene Field Farms, owned and operated by Regan and Christie Joehl and their five sons, features activities for the little ones to enjoy while the parents shop for decorative pumpkins, squash, mums and other decorative items to decorate for the fall season.

Notably, more attention has been paid to those children activities.

“We have a lot more for the children to do this year than we did last year,” Christie Joehl said. “We have a corn crib, which is always a big hit with the children, a straw fort with 10 tons of straw in it this year, and then we have an adventure maze that has some surprises in it for the kids to discover, a lookout tower and kidsized pumpkins.”

But perhaps the most notable addition this year is Pete, the pray-

ing mantis. Pete is made out of an old grain auger and looms tall over Greene Field Farms keeping a watchful eye over all of the kids as they go about the different activities.

Throughout the winter, Regan and his sons, Nathan, 10; Caleb, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Ryan, 4; and Jackson, 3, would spend an hours working on creating Pete.

“This was really a project meant to share with our children,” Joehl said.

“They took a lot of old scrap metal and other farm items and repurposed them into Pete. The older children had more involvement with it than the younger ones, but they can all say they helped to build ‘Pete.’”

For the adults, the Joehl’s have built some new benches so the parents can relax while the kids play, unless, that is, they are busy perusing the varieties of pumpkins and mums on hand for decorating for the fall season.

“We have expanded our selection of pumpkins this year and have around 122 different varieties planted this year,” Joehl said. “The same goes for the mums. We sold out very quickly last year so we more than doubled the amount we grew this

year.

There are approximately 1,000 jumbo mums available, all colors including red, purple, pink, yellow, orange, bronze, and dark bronze.

There are also 200 Mumbo Tri-colors that each have three different colors of the same mum family.

“They have names based on the colors,” Joehl said. “Harvest Moon is pink, purple and orange; Trick or Treat is pink, yellow and orange and Golden Hour is yellow, orange and gold.”

Joehl said that they staggered the planting of the plants to bloom between now through Oct. 5, assuring there will be plenty of plants out there in the near future.

“We know there are lots of things to do during Greene County Days, but we hope that everyone, especially parents with children, come out here to enjoy what we have to offer,” Joehl said. “Everything for the children is free.”

Opening day for Greene Field Farms is Saturday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. Normal hours are Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon until 5 p.m. They will also be open on Columbus Day.

Arguments (Continued from A1) on this state funding are playing a dangerous game.

“Yes, we are fully funded now, but the general state aid was frozen and pro-rated up until about two years ago,” he said. “You didn’t get all of the funding you were supposed to get. It hit a low of 87 cents on the dollars during the peak of pro-ration.”

In 2009-10, the district received $2,533,718 in state funding. In 2014-15 when the general state aid was pro-rated at 87 percent, the district only received $1,782,668, a loss of $751,050 to the district.

The evidence-based funding model was created in 2017-18, and projected money for this school year is only at $2,211,000 still $322,718 less than 10 years ago. This funding model is based on four tiers with Tier 1 schools, who are performing the lowest, getting the bulk of the funding.

Carrollton is Tier 2.

“This year, our (General State Aid) went up $30,000, but North Greene’s went up over $150,000 more, so it just depends on where your rating is,” Halwachs said.

“Transportation is still only being funded at 82 percent and that is concerning to me.”

His concerns reside in proration returning when and if a TIF district is implemented locally.

“This district runs on an extremely tight budget,” Halwachs said. “We don’t waste money and we do our best to keep costs down.”

The Carrollton Grade School is located in the TIF district, therefore, it would be eligible to receive some of the TIF funds. However, these funds could only be used for capital improvements, much like the county one-cent sales tax.

“Property tax money we get now is distributed amongst all the different funds in our district,” Halwachs said. “When you get money from a TIF, it can only be used for capital improvements— it is earmarking where the money can be spent. Our education fund is under unbelievable pressure. This is the fund that pays all of our teachers.”

Coming from a district that had a TIF district, Halwachs said that TIF allocations rarely compensate for the lost revenue from property taxes.

“Local revenue is 100 percent guaranteed – it is money levied, and we get it on time,” Halwachs said.

“While state aid has been pro-rated and late. We are just now seeing money this year for last fiscal year. The state is notorious for that.

They are late in paying bills and reimbursing school districts.”

It doesn’t help matters that Carrollton has one of the lowest taxing rates in the area because it is a PTELL district. North Greene is not under PTELL because it has property in its district in Scott County, which doesn’t have PTELL. For 2019, Carrollton’s

school district levy rate is at 3.28 percent, meaning for every $100 based on the equalized assessed value, the district receives $3.28 cents. Other district in the area are much higher.

Greenfield is at 4.78 percent, meaning they get $4.78 cents off every $100, while North Greene is at 4.25 percent. Calhoun has the highest levy rate at 5.98 percent followed by Southwestern at 4.82 percent, Jersey at 4.29 percent and Winchester at 4.10 percent.

Because the district is under PTELL, the levy can only be raised up to five percent of the percentage of the increase in the Consumer Price Index, which every year is lower.

“Our average increase has been at less than one percent at .9 percent while other districts can go higher,” School Board President Rodney Reif said. “That is what makes it more difficult for us.”

Carrollton City Council member Larry Gillingham attended the meeting and voiced his concerns.

“I voted for this TIF district in the first round because I thought it was to develop a master plan, and we have to have a master plan if we are going to have access to federal or state funds,” he said. “Since then, however, I have rethought my position.”

Gillingham said it’s the wrong time and the wrong place.

“TIF was designed to get rid of urban blight,” he said. “It worked good in Chicago, but when you hear about all the success stories in other communities, you never hear about any of the failures and I’m sure there were some.

“They tell us that in the proposed district there are 357 structures and 60 percent of them are 35 years old or older, so they say they are blighted or problems.

I don’t like people coming into my town and telling me that we have a lot of problems and the best way out is to fill their carpet bag with our money– it’s not that easy. “...Resolutions from this plan take precedence over any existing city ordinances

so this TIF has a lot of power, and it is not only going to affect the school but also the library, the fire department and all the other taxing bodies.”

Halwachs admitted that for the first four to six years, the creation of a TIF would not impact the school significantly.

“I would think that the first four to six years probably wouldn’t generate that much money,” he said. “I agree some of the areas do need help. Our district wants to see a thriving downtown area and we have the same goal as the city on that but to me – not at the expense of the taxing bodies of the tax payer.

“TIF money meant for a public entity, such as the school, could go to a private business. I have issues with that and that really bothers me. This is money meant for the taxing bodies and its getting pulled away and the tax payers don’t have a say in it.

Chamber member Bernie Faul asked if it was already a done deal.

“Well if you look at the vote of the council at the last meeting, it is,” GIllingham said.

Alderwoman Maria Cox was the only Carrollton Council member in attendance who voted for the TIF. “The council voted to start this process and now there is a division among the council,” she said. “I voted for it. When I joined the council, I decided I would do what I thought best for the city and I do think this is good for the city.”

Cox said the arguments against this move neglected to point out the equalized assessed value in the area has declined for the past three years, an issue proponents of the move hope a TIF district would solve. A declining value means less money for these public bodies.

Denny Cook, who has been in education for 50 years, said the school is the single most important entity in any community.

“If the school is not performing well, people may bring a business to town, but they are going to live in Jersey and send their

A3

Carrollton, Illinois

kids to that school – we are not going to bring kids with parents into this community just because we have improved on the property in town,” he said. “They are going to move here because of the school district.”

Cook, like Halwachs, wonders why the TIF has to encompass such a large area. The current proposed TIF encompasses roughtly 10 percent of the property in Carrollton. It has an EAV of $6.6 million – money which the school district can no longer use as leverage.

“When you take 10 percent of the EAV out of the equation, it will limit our ability to bond, so if something were to happen, our bonding level has been lowered by that $6 million,” Reif said. “We can’t bond on that money in the TIF district.”

The next Carrollton City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12, at City Hall.

Loving God and Neighbor “And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.�

1 John 4:21 NIV

T

he requirement to love your neighbor as yourself is second only to the duty to love God. When a pharisee asked Jesus which of the commandments is the greatest, Jesus responded, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.�

(Matthew 22:37-40 NIV) This makes things very simple: Love God and love your neighbor. We don’t have to look hard to find opportunities to do this. In every interaction with our friends and family we have the opportunity to show love. Likewise, with our

co-workers and schoolmates, and the people we meet in the street, there are always opportunities to demonstrate our love. Do this by being kind and forgiving of others.

Tell others how much you appreciate them and treat them with tenderness and respect. Show your love of God by loving your neighbor. There is nothing greater you can do. – Christopher Simon

Berdan family expands on mum selection

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press There is nothing like getting the family involved in a business and when you have six sets of hands to help out, the chore becomes all that much easier.

Rachel Albrecht, who lives on a farm one mile north of Berdan, last year decided to start growing mums, and this year expanded her selection and more than doubled the amount of them she planted.

“Last year, the only kind of advertising I did was on Facebook, and we sold out of all 400 of them in no time,” Albrecht said. “This year, because we wanted to have them for Greene County Days, we grew 1,000 of them.”

Helping Albrecht are her six children – Graci, 16; Darci, 14; Mya, 11; Ada, 9; Sam, 7; and Josie, 3.

“I wanted to start something that the kids could be involved with as well,” Albrecht said. “This is something that the older kids can help with, such as mixing up the fertilizer, down to the youngest who puts the plug down into the fertilized soil in the pots.”

Albrecht said the 1,000 two-inch tall plugs were shipped to them in June.

“They were shipped to our house and when we know they are coming, we have to get everything ready,” she said.

“We have the 8-inch pots all ready with fertilizer rich soil and plant the plug and then put them on the irrigation system.”

The pots are filled and planted in the shed, and then all of them are put on carts and taken outside and sat on black plastic where the irrigation system is hooked up.

The colors she grows are many and varied.

“We have pretty much all of the fall colors that people look for such as yellow, purple, red, white and orange,” Albrecht said. “We grow them in 8-inch shallow pots they call mum pots and they will get anywhere from 18 to 24 inches wide.”

Albrecht plans to have the mums for sale at Beyond the Backyard Gate, on Rt. 108, in Carrollton, formerly Rt. 108

Albrecht will also have them for sale at Beyond the Backyard Gate in Carrollton during Greene County Days this weekend.

“They will be selling them at the home football games to raise money for their class,” Albrecht said.

Graci is also in FFA and is doing a Supervised Agricultural Education project. She is keeping a record book on growing them and then that books will get judged in the spring. Last year,

ISP reminds motorists to be alert as school starts Illinois State Police (ISP) District 18 Commander, Captain Mark Gillock, is reminding motorists that area schools are opening their doors to begin the new school year.

The start of the school year means an increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic around schools.

Motorists need to be watchful of slowed or stopped school buses, crosswalks and of children walking or riding their bike to and from school. Be mindful of children possibly darting out from between parked cars. Plan ahead and allow extra time for these school buses and the increase in traffic flow during the morning and after school hours. A friendly reminder that loading and unloading happens twice, in the morning and after school. Please be patient and aware in order to allow students and children to get to their destination safely.

Motorists are also reminded

to obey the school zone speed limit and avoid distracted driving. The speed limit in school zones is 20 miles per hour and is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on school days when children are present. Motorists are reminded that driving while talking on a hand-held cellular device is strictly prohibited, as well as texting while driving. A first time offense and any subsequent offense is considered a moving violation.

Motorists approaching a stopped school bus with lights activated and a sign extended must stop their vehicle before reaching the school bus. Failure to do so can result in a $150 fine and a three-month driver’s license suspension.

Remember, pedestrians have the right-of-way in a crosswalk.

“Our job is to protect our children. Please drive with due care when driving near schools to ensure a bright future,” said Captain Gillock.

Schools can now supply undesignated glucagon

Today, Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation allowing schools across the state to store an undesignated supply of glucagon to treat students with diabetes.

“Ensuring schools across the state have access to glucagon will better serve our students, parents and communities,” said Governor JB Pritzker.

“People with diabetes depend on this life-saving drug, and now students will always have access at a moment’s notice.”

Under the new law, undesignated glucagon must be stored in a location immediately accessible to a school nurse or a designated care aid who can administer it to a student if authorized and if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on-site or expired. After the administration of undesignated glucagon, a school must immediately

she used this as her project and will continue with it as she goes through high school.

The remaining mums will be sold during Greene County Days.

“They have a picker’s market at Beyond the Backyard Gate during Greene County Days, so you can find me there with them,” she said. “I’m proud to say that it will pretty much all be local sales.”

Red Cross stresses giving blood in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Who blood donations help: In October 2018, what began as a normal toddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear infection changed the Corbeau familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life forever. Beth and Matt Corbeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-year-old son, Jackson, was running a high fever. He was taken to urgent care and diagnosed with a simple ear infection and prescribed antibiotics. After a few days, Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fever failed to subside, and he became increasingly more lethargic. His parents decided it was time to have him seen again.

After a quick visit to Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary care physician, they were advised that he was anemic and were instructed to take him to the local emergency room. Five grueling hours after arriving at the ER, the Corbeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were introduced to a pediatric oncologist. Beth recalls that moment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as she introduced herself as a pediatric oncologist, I felt the room get extremely small. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything that was said that afternoon after she said the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leukemia.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

In the first few days after diagnosis, Jackson received red blood cell and platelet transfusions to prepare him to have a port placed in his chest to receive chemotherapy treatments. He has gone through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and has received approximately seven units of blood and four units of platelets during his treatment so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our family is so grateful to blood and platelet donors who so generously make time to share their good health with patients like Jackson,â&#x20AC;? says Beth Corbeau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget about the importance of blood donations if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know someone in need, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I will never take for granted again.â&#x20AC;?

Upcoming blood donation opportunities Aug.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support kids, teens and young adults battling cancer, as well as others in need of transfusions.

The National Cancer Institute estimated that more than 15,000 children and adolescents in the U.S. would be diagnosed with cancer last year. Childhood cancer patients may need blood products on a regular basis during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

Cancer and cancer treatments can put patients at risk for low red blood cell and platelet counts.

Some types of chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, lowering the production of red blood cells and platelets. Cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma attack the bone marrow as well. Blood and platelet transfusions can enable patients to receive critical treatments needed to fight and survive cancer.

Platelet donors and blood donors of all blood types are urgently needed to replenish the blood supply following a summer blood shortage. As a thank-you, those who come to give Aug. 30-Sept.

3 will receive a unique Red Cross canvas tote bag, while supplies last.

Make an appointment to donate by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Blood drives are also essential in helping ensure blood is available for patients this winter. To learn more and sign up to host a blood drive, visit RedCrossBlood.org/ HostADrive.

30-Sept. 15: Greenfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sept. 10, 2:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., First Baptist Church of Greenfield, 1152 NE 575 St. Jerseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sept. 12, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m., Hope Lutheran Church, 1009 N State Street How to donate blood: A blood donor card or driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPassÂŽ to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/ RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. Since 1914, the American Red Cross has served the Greater Kansas City area by preventing and alleviating human suffering. Today the Red Cross provides blood products and specialized laboratory services to seven hospitals in the Greater Kansas City area, including those within the HCA Midwest Health. The Red Cross is the only blood services provider that also offers health and safety training, serves as a vital communication link between military personnel and their families, teaches disaster preparedness, and provides relief to victims of disasters for our community.

Apple Prairie Residential Services and the Housing Authority of Greene County would like to thank the citizens in these neighborhoods who have been patient with the contractors, the moving of equipment up and down the streets and the noise that comes from the construction site. Apple Prairie Residential Services and the Housing Authority of Greene County are very proud of the fact that we can offer new affordable homes to people and towns who can benefit from the provided services. Properties will offer one and two story homes with bedroom sizes ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms and townhomes with bedroom sizes ranging from 1 to 2 bedrooms.

The Housing Authority of Greene County continues to accept applications for the newly constructed multifamily low- income housing tax credit homes. Rent is based on 30% of gross annual income.
