COVID-19 strikes White Hall Nursing and Rehab By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It was news that no one wanted to hear, but it appears COVID-19 hit the White Hall Nursing and Rehab center in White Hall despite efforts to keep it out of the facility. The Greene County Health Department announced that 20 new cases were confirmed on Aug. 31. Of these, four were community acquired cases while the other 16 were associated with an outbreak at a long-term care facility. White Hall Nursing and Rehab is the only long-term care facility in the county. White Hall Nursing and Rehab officials confirmed the cases in their facility. Officials say White Hall Nursing and Rehab is adhering to the guide-

lines set forth by the CDC and Illinois Dept. of Public Health. All positives are quarantined in a designated unit with dedicated staff. Positive staff members are quarantining themselves at home. “We continue to screen everyone prior to them entering the building, as we have done since March,� Executive Director Cutina Dunaway said. “Everyone is being tested twice weekly.� Nursing and Rehab has initiated an informational line that family members can call to receive current information. This of course is in addition to speaking directly to their loved one’s nurse or administration. “WHNR wants to thank the community for their continued support,� Scott Phares, director of Admissions,

said. “It really touches our hearts! Children’s Sunday school classes as well as community members are sending cards to the residents to keep their spirits up and let them know they have a community that cares. “We continue to have special activities for the residents. The only difference is they are done in their room.� On Sept. 7, the health department announced the second COVID-19 related death in the county but noted that this death is not related to the long-term care outbreak. As of Monday, the county has a total of 160 confirmed positive cases with 41 of those cases still active. The county remains on the warning list along with Jersey County for having a positivity rate above 8 percent. Other counties, such as Cass, Morgan, Pike

Gillingham’s celebrate 70 years together By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Neil and Pat Gillingham, 95 and 89, respectively, of Carrollton accomplished something that is done rarely these days – they celebrated 70 years of marriage on Sept. 5 with almost 60 cars lining up to go by their house on Sixth Street to wish them well on such a momentous occasion.

“Marriage is a give and take proposition – that is all I can say about it. You gotta give a little and take a little.�

Pat Gillingham Carrollton resident Neil Gillingham, a World War II veteran, married Pat on Sept. 3, 1950, just weeks before he left to fight in the Korean War. Pat said it was her eventual sister-in-law who brought the high school junior together with the 25-year-old veteran. “His sister was dating my brother, and he had come home from the service, and she told him that she thought she had found a girl he might like,� she said. “I was at play practice, and we met up afterwards at the B&B Restaurant uptown. He was already up there, and she introduced us, and we would go together and then split up and then go together and split up again.�

The on and off again romance culminated in a marriage proposal from Neil when Pat was almost 19 years old. “He was going into the service again and would be stationed in Virginia, so we got married so I could go with him,� Pat said. Neil’s mind is like a steel trap for war memories, and he recalled exactly the events that led up to their marriage. “I was in the reserves when the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950,� he said. “We were on two weeks training at Ft. McCoy, Wis., and all of us got our orders that we were being reactivated. So, while I was in training, I came home, and her and I got married on Sept. 3, 1950. “She came out to Virginia with me along with some other wives from the area.� Neil was a sergeant in charge of the recruits, so he said he would see her every chance he got, but those chances were few and far between. Left alone in a new state at 19 years of age, Pat began missing home. “I missed being in Carrollton because I missed my birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas,� she said. “We came back for New Year’s, and since he was headed over to Germany, I stayed here with my parents.� After he was discharged from the service, Neil, who was one of 11 children raised by John Calvin and Lora Gillingham, came back to Carrollton and went to work for his older brother, Harry, who ran Gillingham Oil Company. Trying times were ahead when Pat developed polio in 1952. “I started feeling funny on Thanksgiving Day, and when I woke up the next morning, I just

hurt all over,� Pat Gillingham said. “I went to the doctor, and he said he wanted to test me for polio. They took me by ambulance to Alton where I spent a week in the polio ward.� Pat said while she didn’t have to endure the iron lung, she did have to listen to those who were struggling to breath in it, and it was horrible. The couple was eager to start a family, but that was not to be early in the marriage. Pat’s first pregnancy was a tubal pregnancy.

“One morning she woke up in a lot of pain, and the doctors in Alton said to get her down there as quick as I could so they could do exploratory surgery,� Neil Gillingham said. “They operated and found the tubal pregnancy, which was three months along, and they said they had never seen one go that long.� The year 1959 was a busy year for the couple. They built their ranch style home on Sixth Street and welcomed their first son, Dick, who is currently an attorney in Carrollton. They still

reside in that same house 60 years later. While Neil was working with his brother, Pat became employed at the Greene County Bank in the Spring of 1952. She said she quit when she became pregnant with her first son in 1959. Another Gillingham, however, was waiting in the wings to take her place. “The head of the bank contacted me and wanted me to (See, GILLINGHAM'S, A2)

Student (Continued from A1) departments for best practices and procedures to protect everyone’s health.” Classes will continue at the school. To prevent further spread of the disease, the district is taking the following precautions: Q Collaborating with the GCHD to identify and notify contacts – persons who were within six feet of the positive individual for 15 minutes or longer. Q Placing staff members and students who are identified as having prolonged close contact with the person in quarantine for 14 days. Q Ongoing monitoring of students and staff for signs and symptoms of illness and evaluation of illness reports to promptly identify possible outbreaks. Bowman said the district will continue to enforce safe practices to prevent, identify and respond to potential COVID-19 cases as follows: Q Students and staff who are ill with COVID19-like symptoms will be placed in a separate supervised area away from others until they can be sent home. Q Students are required to wear face cover-

ings at all times, as previously directed and per school policy. Q Staff are required to wear face coverings at all times while in contact with children and other staff in the facility. Q High-touch surfaces, including door handles, stair rails and sink faucets are continuously being sanitized. Q All toys, which cannot be properly or frequently disinfected, have been removed. “We are committed to providing your child and our staff with a safe and healthy environment,” Bowman said. “Thank you for understanding and ongoing cooperation with our COVID prevention policies and procedures as we work to help protect your children, your families and our staff and their families.” Bowman said everyone should monitor their health and stay at home if they develop symptoms. Sick persons should contact their primary physician to determine if testing is needed. Anyone who develops symptoms should seek medical care immediately. If a child has had contact with a known positive person, keep the child at home and notify your healthcare provider, the school and the health department.

Gillingham's (Continued from A1) come to work at the bank,” Neil Gillingham said. “So, the day after she quit, I started work as a teller at the bank. I did that for about three or four months until they made me a loan officer.” Gillingham would stay at Greene County Bank for 31 years, retiring in 1990 as Vice President of Loans. Ironically, in a bit of deja-vu, Pat then went back to work to the bank for nine more years, retiring in 1990. Pat loved to travel, but Neil was busy at work so he told her to go with her girlfriends. “I think my favorite trip of all was when I went to Hawaii – that was the highlight of my life,” she said. “Then, I went to Florida a couple of times and I really enjoyed that.” It was good that Neil was so understanding about letting her see the sights without him. “By the time I retired and could travel with her, she started having a lot of medical problems that prevented us from traveling,” he said. “I told her at the time to go now because we don’t know what the future is going to bring.” Pat Gillingham is content to listen to Neil regail story after story about his time in World War II and the Korean War. But that wasn’t always the case. “All during our marriage, up until about eight years ago, he never would talk about his time in the war,” Pat Gillingham said. “But once he started talking about it, he hasn’t stopped. It amazes me how much he can remember.” A medic during World War II, Neil saw his fair share of carnage on the battleground that he carried home with him. “I came home and was working with my brother and thought about using the GI Bill to go to college,” Neil Gillingham said. “I just didn’t know whether or not I could have concentrated enough to go back to school. I didn’t tell anybody at the time, but I was reliving those 18 months I was overseas constantly.” Neil Gillingham made it through both wars with no injuries, but he wasn’t safe from near death experiences, noting when he was 16 years old, a bunch of boys and he were in an old Model A in White Hall when a drunk driver crossed the line and hit them head on — a collision resulted in him cracking his head open on the concrete.

Schedule today: 618.433.3362 Then, after he was married, he was driving his car when a woman going around 100 miles per hour hit him from the rear and spun his vehicle into a light pole, which dented the car right behind where he was sitting. “I honestly thought an airplane had hit me because when I looked in my mirror I didn’t see her – that was how fast she was going,” he said. “It cracked my head open in just about the same place as before.” Pat remembers the horror of seeing him in the emergency room. “They called me to come to the hospital, and I went over there, and I could actually see his brains – his head was split wide open, and I could see inside his head,” she said. “It was one of the scariest times of my life seeing him lying there like that.” There would be one more life-threatening situation that Pat would have to endure with Neil, which happened not too long ago where he got help after an incident mowing. Neil was mowing the Gilligham Cemetery, which is located in a wooded area, not viewable from the road, near Haypress when the tractor he was riding on turned over and pinned him under it. When asked what their secret was to a long, happy marriage, Pat said very simply it was a case of give and take. “Marriage is a give and take proposition – that is all I can say about it,” she said. “You gotta give a little and take a little.” Neil’s secret was a little simpler. “I just made sure I told her everything she wanted to hear,” he said. Pat has suffered and recovered from two strokes. She gets around a little slower and so does Neil, but both of them are sharp as a tack and both still drive – just a few things they are thankful for every day. “I am so thankful that we are the age we are and still able to do things,” Pat Gillingham said. “I thank God every morning when I get up that we are still together, we are still in our own home and we still have our faculties.” Always the optimist, Pat said that now Neil has to put up with her for another 50 years. His answer to that: “I just tell people I’ve gone through two wars and a marriage,” he said. “I can tackle anything.”

Remote learning going well at North Greene

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press While Carrollton and Greenfield school districts are struggling with combining in-person and remote learning lessons plans, North Greene has only had to deal with remote learning since the number of COVID-19 cases in North Greene make up around 80 percent of the cases in the county. The biggest issue is internet connectivity and access. “Overall, we have only a few students without internet access and only a few students that we have had no contact with at all,” North Greene Superintendent Mark Scott said. “I get a list sent from teachers every day who we don’t have contact with. We do have a few people who still have no internet access, so they are doing the paper and pencil work.” Last year, districts across the state were thrown into the realm of remote learning with less than a week’s notice. “We were just kind of thrown into it at the end of March,” Scott said. “We were told we were not having school after Tuesday, and we weren’t really prepared for that. But, by the end of the year, we were getting pretty efficient at it.” Last year, remote learning was pretty much a formality. Students were guaranteed a grade that they had at the end of March when remote learning started. Nothing they did, or didn’t do, counted towards their final grade. This year, things are different. “Students are required to log in multiple times a day so we can get in as much instruction in during the regular school day without actually being in the classroom,” Scott said. “As soon as the students sign into their first class, that is when we take attendance. Every teacher knows who is there and for how long. We have to get in five hours of instruction.” A lot of the instruction is live, but teachers also video the lessons so a student can go back and view them again if they need to. Scott said most of the teachers are choosing to come to school to do the lessons, but there are some that are operating remotely from home as well. Assignments are given, and if students do not complete those assignments, they get a zero. “It’s different from last year because we started remote learning with each student having a grade,” Scott said. “This year, we are starting from zero, so their grades depend on whether or not they complete their assignments.” Special accommodation is given to those students who receive special education services or have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). “We are bringing the special-ed kids in on buses to give them their related services on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we are trying to keep those numbers down,” Scott said. “By law, we are required to give them some of those services.” If a student fails to log in in the morning, the school initiates contact with that student. “Every teacher has a phone in their room, and every teacher has email, and every building has multiple phones

in the office to contact the families of these students,” Scott said. “Most people have a phone of some sort, whether it is a cell phone or a land line. They can make contact if they want to, and if they don’t, then we initiate the contact and find out what is going on. If they don’t have internet, we will provide them pencil and paper work until we can get them internet.” The district has enough Chromebooks to be one-onone, meaning every student who doesn’t already have a device can get one from the district. If they do not have internet access at home, there are multiple hot spots available for students to use including both school parking lots and the White Hall Library. “We are working to get a hot spot set up at the Barrow Baptist Church as well as the Hillview Baptist Church so those students don’t have to travel so far,” Scott said. “The problem is a lot of districts are wanting hot spots, so it is taking some time for them to get around for us.” In the meantime, students can always go to the remote learning center set up in front of the White Hall Library. Tables and chairs are set up under a big tent and the library is providing free internet access. Scott said the remote learning center is a great addition for the district. “I’m glad they put that up so students can have access to the internet in the evenings,” Scott said. “They can also come to one of our buildings, but we don’t have tables and chairs set up like they do there.” For parents like Becky Bradford, however, it has been a challenge at times. Bradford has a seventh-grader and a senior in high school. “For us, the most challenging part is just making sure they’re getting the assignments turned in and that they understand the work they are doing,” Becky Bradford said. “They are able to ask the teachers, but they tend to ask Mom more.” Just finding the assignments at times is a challenge. “Having to go through and look for their emails and assignments and me trying to figure out what they need to do is sometimes a challenge,” Bradford said. “I’m glad I have the ability with my job to be working from home right now to help them.” Connection issues have also been a problem. “We’ve invested in some additional equipment to help them try and stay connected via internet a little better so they don’t lose any instruction,” Bradford said. “I will say that our district has done a phenomenal job in making things run as smoothly as they have, especially with such last minute changes. “I have been very impressed. It’s been a huge learning curve for everyone, but it appears that things going fairly smoothly, and there is always help out there. We appreciate everything the district is doing to make this as smooth as possible.” A meeting is planned for Wednesday, Sept. 9, to discuss whether or not the district will be able to offer in-person learning for the second semester. The North Greene area continues to have the most cases of the virus in the county.

We are collecting non-perishable food items for the North Greene food pantry to be delivered before Thanksgiving. Our text this morning was from John

16:23-33 entitled: “In Jesus’s name.” As Jesus encouraged his disciples to pray, he spoke of our heavenly father. He spoke of the love that the father has for us. He spoke of God, the father’s desire to hear our words and thoughts as we pray to him. Jesus’s words go beyond prayer and tell us of the attitude that God the Father has for us. His words remind us of the opening words of the prayer he taught us to pray: “Our Father who art in heaven.” I invite you to read these verses and

see that our sovereign God loves us and wants us to be blessed and for us to bless Him.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.� -Alice Walker

I

t may seem odd to think that some people actually volunteer to be victims, but if you let yourself be abused or degraded without fighting back or at least voicing your reluctance to be victimized then you are at the very least complicit in your victimhood. A less obvious way in which we volunteer to be victims is when someone offers us something that we know isn’t good for us. An alcoholic who accepts a drink is volunteering for victimhood, as is anyone who takes something they know is dangerous. If you’re in an uncomfortable situation, you have the right to leave. If someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do, you can say no. Saying yes to every request is the surest path to victimization in this world. And

another, less obvious way in which we volunteer to be a victim is when others put us down and we engage with them. They are goading you to play their game, and you can simply refuse to play it. There are real victims in this world, people who through no fault of their own are harmed by others. But sometimes we leave the car unlocked with valuables in clear view, or we accept the offer for something we don’t want, or we say yes when we should just say no. –Christopher Simon
