Carrollton Council considers use of liquor license revenue

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Workshops held by city councils are typically for discussion purposes only – to throw ideas or suggestions out for discussion amongst council members in open session.

City Clerk Ryan Scott put out a proposal to the council at the Aug. 26 workshop, which could allow the police department to purchase a new squad car every two or three years.

The idea was to take the money from fines and liquor licenses and set it aside to be used towards a new squad car.

“Every month we (city) get a check from the circuit clerk for fines and we also get revenue every quarter from liquor licenses which amounts to about $13,000 a year,” Scott said.

“One thing we had discussed was allocating that money and putting it towards something,

and the idea of a squad car for the police department came up.”

The city struggled to find funding for the purchase of the police truck earlier this year.

Scott’s idea was to have these monies set aside in a special account. Currently, the fines and fees go into the general fund.

Allocating the funds to the special account would assure the money would be there when it was time to get a new squad car.

“It wouldn’t be ready initially, but if we could get it set up now and a plan in place, with the amount of money we put into it every year, there should be enough in the account every two-and-a-half to three years to buy a new squad car,” Scott said. “It would be one way of working toward getting a rotating fleet going.

We are getting this money from the community, so we thought to do that with the liquor license, at least it would be one way of giving back to

the community.”

Alderman Joe Harness inquired where the funds went now and was told it was into the general fund which pays the expenses of the police department.

“My two cents is that it is where it should go (general fund),” he said. “Taking another step or two, so what’s wrong with the street department getting part of the water bill put aside for whatever?”

Treasurer Debbie Dunlap leaned more towards Harness’ point of view.

“The concept is great and I like the idea he (Scott) has of being able to allocate funds in different little buckets so that we have money to do our projects, in a sense, unofficially, we are doing that anyway,” she said. “Everybody gets taken care of.”

Money in the general fund can be used for a variety of expenses and purchases, but if the

money were allocated to a special account for the purchase of a police car, then it couldn’t be used for anything else. Essentially, the money is earmarked and can’t be used by another department.

Alderman Tom Wilson said he was in favor of a dedicated plan “if you can afford it.” The issue will be discussed further at the next council meeting.

Also at the workshop, Alderwoman Sharon Butler was questioning Dunlap paying bills without prior council approval.

“Since we didn’t have a finance meeting last week, were you able to go ahead and pay bills?”

Butler asked.

Dunlap said she had sent off all bills and Butler then asked if someone had signed off on them.

“No, not yet,” Dunlap said.

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press After more than four decades, a Carrollton man is finally receiving the honor he so rightly earned in service for his country.

Robert Richey was presented the Vietnam Service Medal with a Bronze Star at a special ceremony Saturday afternoon by Josh Evans, who is a candidate for State Representative and an Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran.

Richey earned the medal 45 years ago, but it was never presented to him. Actually, he earned three medals during his service but only received two. The Richey family contacted Evans for assistance and Evans worked with Senator Dick Durbin’s office to get Richey his decoration.

“As a fellow veteran, I take great pride in the fact that so many people came out to see Mr. Richey presented this honor,” Evans said.

“When I heard Bob never received his Vietnam Service Medal, I was very frustrated. I knew we had to do something special for him, so I contacted Senator Durbin’s office for assistance and was happy to see Senator Durbin take an interest in this issue.”

Senator Durbin personally drove the medal to the ceremony held outside the courthouse. Evans worked with the Tri County Honor Guard and local officials in setting up the event.

Robert Richey served two years in the Army from 1966 to 1968.

Although he was trained as a radio operator, upon arriving in Binh Phuoc, Vietnam, he was assigned to Fire Direction Control. Richey aided U.S. forces in eradicating opposition tunnels in Vietnam.

The Vietnam Service Medal is presented to any service member who directly supported ground operations.

Richey was touched by the ceremony which included about 40 friends, relatives, Honor Guard and state officials.

“I knew Mr. Evans was going to be presenting me with the medal, but

I never dreamed it would be in a ceremony this elaborate,” Richey said.

While he should have received the medal 45 years ago, Richey understands the omission.

“When I got out of the service, there were lines and lines of men getting discharged at the same time,” Richey said. “With so many men, I guess I can understand how it could be overlooked at a time like that.”

Richey encourages other veter-

ans who might not have received the medals they so rightly earned in defense of their country, to contact Evans.

“He told me he was privileged to be able to help me receive this medal and even more privileged to be able to present it to me himself,” Richey said. “He said his goal is to be able to serve the people, and this is just one way he can do that.”

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press If you’ve ever wondered if dogs have guardian angels, you need only hear the story of Wolfgang, a husky/shepherd mix who found a home at Scott County Dog Rescue.

Scott County Dog Rescue Founder Becky Lashmett said Wolfgang was found in Bluffs and brought to the rescue by Brock Reid, a senior at Bluffs High School.

“He had been a stray running around Bluffs for quite awhile because no one could catch him,” Lashmett said. “It just so happened Brock, who has a way with animals, was able to catch him and it turns out he was just scared.”

After getting vet checked, neutered and up to date on his shots, Wolfgang was put on the adoption list. His one blue eye and one brown eye was sure to attract the attention of someone.

“There was a lady from Carrollton named Katrina Baker, who came and saw him and she liked him so much she decided to take him on a trial visit,” Lashmett said. “Two or three days later she brought Wolfgang back because she said her house was just so small and the dog was so big that it just wasn’t a good fit.”

According to Lashmett, this is a common occurrence and the reason dogs are sent out on a trial visit before formal adoption.

“The next day she called and asked how he was doing, and then two or three days later she calls again to find out how he is doing,” Lashmett said. “The following week she calls again and asked if she can try again and so I said ‘Yes’ and she came and got him for a second time.”

Baker wrote a very touching letter to Scott County Dog Rescue telling Lashmett how much the dog, who they renamed Zeuse, was helping her son.

“My son was bitten some time ago by a large dog,” the letter said.

“His doctor recommended finding ‘dog therapy’ for his fears. Thank

you for helping my son with his fears.”

Her son, Chad, also wrote a note to SCDR. “Zeuse protects me when I’m scared,” he said. “He helps me feel safe. Since he has been around my nightmares are starting to get better.”

Lashmett was almost moved to tears and was sure Wolfgang/Zeuse had found his forever home. Such wasn’t the case, though.

Lashmett received another call from Baker once again asking SCDR to take the dog back.

“She called and said she had some very bad health issues and was just very sick and didn’t know if she was going to be able to keep him after all,” Lashmett said.

“She said she had taken the dog to Ghrist to be boarded and asked me if I could come pick him up on Monday.”

As it turns out, Wolfgang/Zeuse’s guardian angel was looking out after him that weekend because Baker died in a house fire early Monday morning along with another dog.

Luckily, Bakers two children were not at home at the time of the fire.

“Someone was looking out for him,” Lashmett said. “When I called Ghrist Monday morning to arrange to pick the dog up, they said he had already been picked up by her mother and her daughter.”

Technically, since the dog was only on a trial visit, he was still under the care of Scott County Dog Rescue. However, when the employees at Ghrist described the emotional reunion, Lashmett knew she couldn’t ask for the dog back.

“They told me the little girl was just so happy to see the dog and that the dog was just as happy to see her,” Lashmett said. “When I heard that I knew there was no way I could take the dog back. He is now a link to their mother. He was spared for a reason.”

However, Lashmett said should a time come when the family can no longer care for Wolfgang/Zeuse, he always has a home back with SCDR.

German exchange student attending North Greene

by CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press There is a blonde haired young lady walking the halls of North Greene High School these days who hails from across the Atlantic.

Valerie Lehmann, an exchange student from Germany, is spending her junior year in the United States soaking up American culture. She will spend the next 10 months in the home of her host, North Greene teacher David McGraw and his family in Roodhouse.

It was not her first visit to the United States.

“My father is a surgeon, so we have made several trips to the U.S. and I liked it here,” she said. “Plus, my brother spent his junior year in the United States and he told me good things about it here.”

Lehmann speaks English very well because it is required in the German school system.

“You start learning English in Germany very early on,” Lehmann said. “I guess I was about 8 when I started learning it in elementary school.

We are required to learn English and a third language, so I also know French.”

The biggest adjustment she is going to have to make is adapting to the American school system, which

she said is much easier than it is in Germany.

“It’s not normal for me to have the same classes every day,” she said. “In Germany, we have different classes every day. We have different subjects on different days.”

German students are required to take at least 12 different subjects a year including the basics of math, biology, physics, chemistry, etc. So a course load of 6-7 subjects is a piece of cake for Lehmann.

“It is so much easier over here than it is in Germany,” she said. “In Germany, we start around 7:50 in the morning and sometimes we can go as late as 6 p.m.”

For McGraw, this is the fourth German student he has sponsored since 2003.

“I have always liked the European culture,” he said. “My mom’s side of the family were German so I learn a little bit more from each one that comes here. It’s also good for the schools because the kids get to learn about a different culture from one of their own.”

Lehmann is looking forward to participating in American sports. She is currently a member of the North Greene cross country team, which McGraw coaches and might go out for basketball this winter.

Another big difference between the

U.S. and Germany is its shopping centers.

“In Germany there are not a lot of these big malls of shops like there is in the U.S.,” she said. “In Germany, it’s like there are so many little shops.

You can’t just go to one place and get everything.”

McGraw, who has visited Germany several times, said it is more like the United States of 50 or more years ago.

“In Germany, we have butcher shops where you go and get your meat, bread stores where you get your bread,” he said. “You don’t have your big stores like Walmart where you can go in and buy everything from food to paint.

There are a lot more family-owned businesses in Germany, so I guess it’s kind of old school USA.” Lehmann said the one thing she wants to see most of all is the city of Chicago.

“I’ve seen pictures of it and I think it would be nice to actually go visit there,” she said.

Lehmann is too busy to be homesick.

“Between school, sports and seeing the sights, I really haven’t had time to miss my family,” she said. “I’m sure I will in a little while, but right now there is just so much to do and learn.”

Eating contest and live music at The Groovy Taco Fiesta during GCD

By CARMEn EnSInGER Greene Prairie Press Music and food seem to be two of the major necessities to look for during Greene County Days after a morning or afternoon of visiting all the different booths and events, and The Groovy Taco is offering them both in a very unique package.

While enjoying the music of a live band and DJ music, one can enjoy an eating contest.

The Groovy Taco will be holding an eating contest Saturday for both kids and adults.

“Since Classic Iron stopped setting up on the square, Carrollton really hasn’t had the crowds it used to,” Groovy Taco owner Tracy Camden said. “I just wanted to bring a little variety and a little entertainment and, hopefully, more people to Carrollton Greene County Days.”

Children ages 12 through 17 are invited to participate in the taco eating contest, which begins at 1 p.m. followed by the adults taco eating contest at 1:30. In these contests, whoever finishes their set numbers of tacos first is the winner.

Some like it hot - so with that in mind, there will be a jalapeño eating contest for the adults 18 and over, which begins at 2 p.m.

The real challenge will come at 2:30 p.m. with the monster nacho eating contest for the adults 18 and over. Very few have ever consumed the gigantic plate of nachos topped with chili, cheese, guaca-

mole, onions, olives and tomatoes, which weighs about four pounds, but the first one who is able to clean up their plate will be the winner.

Though there is a $5 entry fee ($3 entry for kids), each participant will receive a $5 Groovy Taco Gift Card just for participating, which essentially makes the contest “free.”

First prize depends on how many contestants enter the contest because 100 percent of the $5 entry fee will be paid back to the winners of each contest. Second place in each event will get $20 in Groovy Taco Gift Cards.

“It’s a little different, but I think it is something people are going to enjoy,” Camden said. “If nothing else - just for the bragging rights.

Plus, depending on the entries, the winner could walk away with a pretty hefty stash of cash.”

Official rules, entry forms and release of liability forms can be picked up at the Groovy Taco starting on Monday, Sept. 1 or during the time of sign-up. Sign-up for each of the contests will take place the day of the event between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and you must be registered to participate.

Music will be playing on the front patio beginning at 11 a.m. with Wild Orchid Entertainment providing the DJ music. They will be followed by Inner Outlines who will play from 3 to 6 p.m.

The first 100 children under the age of 12 to visit the Groovy Taco during the Greene County Days Fiesta will receive a free sombrero.

“Back in the 1950s, a family had seven or eight children – now families usually only have one or two,” Alice Dodson said. “When a family moved into the community, you could almost have enough for a whole new Sunday school class. We just don’t have the draw now that we had then.”

Like any country church, Hickory Grove has a rich history. It was organized Jan. 30, 1830 as an arm of the Taylor Creek Baptist Church yet, indirectly, it was a branch of the Baptist Church organized at Carrollton in 1821.

Rauner bus tour rolls on Rauner stopped in Carrollton to meet with voters and talk about the issues most important to them Gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner stopped Saturday, Aug. 30 in Carrollton to meet with voters and listen to their concerns about the future of Illinois.

“We are traveling across the State of Illinois to give voters a chance to hear for themselves my vision - lower taxes, more jobs, better schools and term limits,” Rauner said. “I love traveling Illinois and meeting the great people of this state. These bus tours are a good way to listen to what voters have to say and to find out what issues are

Alice Dodson Church clerk organize a church and wrote up their Principals of Faith and Rules of Decorum.

The congregation met at various locations in the area until 1840 when their first church building was constructed. By 1844, yet another new meeting house was constructed.

By the 1850s another new meeting house was constructed on land donated by Ellis and Margaret Wright Davidson. Ellis Davidson was church clerk from 1830 to 1854.

In 1906 it was voted to build a church in Wrights at the present location at a cost not to exceed $2,500.

This church was dedicated in May 1907. In 1927 the new basement of the church was dedicated and three years later, in 1930, the church celebrated its centennial.

Tragedy struck during the early morning hours of Nov. 6, 1944 when the church was destroyed by fire. For a period of several years, the congregation met in the old Methodist Church and in 1948 the church voted to purchase the building.

This building was removed to the current location in Wrights and sat over the basement in 1949 and the building was dedicated Easter Sunday of 1950.

The parsonage was added in February 1954 with Rev. Ollie H Phillips the first to occupy it. Four years later, in 1960, a new church addition was dedicated. With an attendance of 213 at the dedication, this was the largest attendance ever recorded at the church to date.

Also added in 1960 was the baptistery. The mural on the wall was painted by Clem Cummings of Neosho, Mo. and members regard it as one of the finest in the area.

Improvements have been made over the years including new siding and carpeting, along with recessed lighting, which member Wayne Dodson recalls fondly.

for years but we put off making the decision to close,” Alice Dodson said.

“Last Sunday we only had 11 people in Sunday school, and one of those was a guest.”

Over the years, membership dropped down to a mere 12 members.

“Back when we were kids, this place was full every Sunday,” church member Glenna Wright said. “In 1954, the average Sunday attendance was 136 and that was before we even had our educational building wing added. It was packed. There was a little room upstairs and one downstairs and one lady said they even met in the Community Hall for Sunday school because it was so crowded.”

So what caused the dwindling membership?

“Over the years, many of our members have passed away or simply moved away,” Glenna Wright said.

“We probably would have closed the doors earlier but we had a couple of older members that we knew wouldn’t go to another church, so we kept it going.”

Progress also lent a hand in the demise of the church.

“Years ago when we had a very large attendance, people weren’t willing to drive as far to go to church, so they usually went to the church in their hometown or nearby,” Alice Dodson said. “A small church like ours isn’t able to provide the programs, especially for the children, that the larger churches can, so it’s hard to attract families.”

Of course the dwindling population of the community hasn’t helped matters any.

“There used to be houses all over the countryside,” Glenna Wright said.

“Now, when a farm is purchased by somebody new, the first thing they do is take down the house so they can farm the ground. There is just not the people in the area that there used to be.”

Family sizes have also shrunk.

have the same light bulbs in that were put in that day,” Wayne Dodson recalls. “I was really sweating because they are so high up and I just knew they would probably burn out in two weeks and I’d have to go back up there and change them, but turns out they have been here 36 years and are still working.”

The hanging lights and the ornately carved pews are original to the building and the pews are dated 1892. In the 1970s, the pews were taken outside and the varnish removed and they were restored.

Glenna Wright said the plans are to raze the building.

“Have you been through the countryside and seen the abandoned church and what happens to them,” she asked.

“You see pigs coming out of them or hay stacked in them. Well, that is not going to happen here. If they are left empty chances are they are vandalized and we can’t stand to see that happen to this church.”

By choosing to take down the church themselves, items such as the windows, pews, furniture, etc. can be salvaged.

“You can salvage things and get them to people who are going to appreciate them,” Alice Dodson said.

“As for the pews, we plan to advertise them in hopes of finding a church who needs them.”

Unfortunately, probably the most beautiful part of the church, the

Baptistry, cannot be salvaged.

“It is probably the most beautiful painting in a baptistery I have ever seen,” Alice Dodson said. “It was painted right onto the dry wall with the bottom painted on the metal of the tank, so I doubt it can be salvaged.”

Rev. Bill Martin has been pastor of Hickory Grove for the last 16 years and regards his time spent there as some of his best.

“What I am going to miss the most is making friends,” Martin said.

“Sometimes your church family is just that – you can’t consider them friends – they are members but not friends. But these are all my friends.

I have only pastored two churches where I never heard a cross word spoken – Charity Church in Greenfield and here.”

For their last Sunday of worship on Sept. 14, former members, pastors and families of former pastors have been invited to attend. Services begin at 10:30 a.m. and a farewell potluck dinner is scheduled afterward.

The few members who are left will be looking for a new church home.

“We will definitely go somewhere,” Alice Dodson said. “We will probably go more than one place until we decide which one fits us.”

Glenna Wright summed it up best.

“Just because this church is closing we are not going to quit going to church,” she said. “God didn’t quit on us so we are not going to quit on him.”

Liquor license Dunlap also discussed with the council different investment options for the city cemetery funds. Dunlap wants to buy CD’s on the open market, which would yield a slightly higher interest rate.

“We already have these monies invested in CD’s at a lower rate and I would like to probably

pursue the idea of investing at a higher rate,” Dunlap said. “These funds are also FDIC insured, so there is very little to no risk involved as long as you hold them to maturity.”

Butler said she didn’t think this was something that should be rushed into and wants to talk about it at the next meeting.

Butler then asked for the council to go into closed session to talk about personnel. During the 40-minute closed session, Dunlap was summoned by the council as was city attorney Anne Clough, who had been excluded from the closed session for reasons, which were not divulged. Upon returning to open session, no action was taken.

Thelma Cox took Elizabeth and me under her wing. Lizzie brought old catalogs and a bunch of junk to school. Miss Della allowed her to sit on the floor at the back of the room and play with the stuff - she was the director LeRoy Overbey’s daughter.

Thelma suggested we all go outside and play - Miss Della and Lizzie stayed in and played - that put a stop to the junk in nothing flat!

My first day of GCHS - the day before my friend Alta Steckel and I planned how we would dress. She was veteran! She had completed her freshman year with an A+ average.

We wore yellow seersucker dresses.

Agnes Greer made hers, my mother was a licensed tailor - she made mine.

Registration day dad and mother had taken Mel and me to Ringling Brothers Circus in Alton. Mr. and Mrs. Girhard, Tom and Anna entered the tent as we did. He laughed and said, “Everyone will find their way around the building.” And we did!

I remember that in one study hall I helped Dean Nash with his Junior History and he assisted me with my Algebra. Walking home from school Alta helped me with Latin, she came up to my house to learn to hem a dress, sew on buttons, put in zippers, etc. Mother cut out our patterns from newspapers.

My parents took me to Kenny’s Optical for reading glasses, they cost $15 - my last glasses - $350.

News from Wrights - Esther Arnold brought Bev McCollum

Still, a big head of red cabbage.

Bev cooked it in a crock-pot with ham steaks from Meehan’s. To this she added brown sugar. This was to be divided with Bev’s sister Linda Pohlman.

My Dale used to grow rows and rows of red Dutch cabbage to share.

I can’t remember him ever eating a bite - I know that Clifton D. didn’t.

My dad made freezer slaw - he used super rose Liquid Sweetener for “the dieting ladies”, he said.

If you don’t have enough room for a garden, cabbage makes a pretty border around marigolds or petunia flowers. Mrs. Engel did this.

Clifton D. and Shirley C. Hammon’s brother, Everett Cole has become a grandfather to two baby girls. Each baby weighed four pounds. Their home is Minneapolis.

The telephone rang. I answered the response was “Hi, Great-grandma. Thank you for the birthday card and the five dollars. We’re going to memaw’s and pawpaw’s to the fair.”

That was Ayden Crumley. “ Love you.” Next Addisson spoke, saying the same thing in a different fashion. Averee giggled an spoke. Their dad, Jeremy visited and of course we spoke of school. Their mother, Brooklyn was busy packing. They were going to have a great time Friday evening through Sunday. They don’t take toys as they always have many.

This afternoon I had a wonderful visit with Mabel Batty Cole. She is busy quilting t5hrows for fourteen grandkids as part of their Christmas.

She converses with a former Rubicon Church neighbor, Eloise Blair Featherstone. Hi Eloise! I am glad that you are enjoying embroidery.

Eloise’s sister Estaline graduated GCHS with Mabel and Earlom Cole who are susvivors.

The descendents of Benjamin and Malinda Evans held their annual reunion on Aug. 17, 2014 in Winchester at Monument Park. It was a very nice, cool day with 62 members attending. A very bountiful lunch was served. Prayer was given by Mrs. Dorothy Scott.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Kampsville author starts book series

By BoB Crossen Greene Prairie Press Poetry and scripture are the core of a Kampsville author’s latest book as part of a series aimed at helping people through the journey of Christian living.

“Songs of a Son: Heart-cries Along the Way” is the fourth book written by Rod Connell, a preacher and author who lives in Kampsville.

The book – published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises – is a collection of poems he wrote to chronicle his Christian journey, and they are paired with bits of scripture as additional reflection.

“My wife likes it because you can read a page, think about it and then go on about your business,” Connell said. “People aren’t reading long books that much anymore.”

“Heart-cries Along the Way” is the first part in the “Songs of a Son” series of books Connell is writing.

He said this book focuses more

specifically on his personal journey as a way to express that everybody has their ups and downs. The format of the book is a metaphor with sections relating to mountains, valleys, wilderness and flatlands.

“I feel like in the end, [the poems are] a reflection of my walk with the Lord, so to speak,” Connell said. “We all have to go through experiences that are high and great, and other times we’re being tested.

That’s why I talk about spiritual terrains. You get these insights and revelations at high points, and then you start trying to live day-to-day life and sometimes they’re difficult to implement.”

The next two books, he said, will build on the structure created by the first book with themes on preparing for heaven and living spiritually, day to day. A student of many religions, philosophies and theologies, Connell said man has made scripture more complex than it needs to be.

his head. Those efforts were satisfying, he said, and his writing helped settle his religious beliefs.

In an article from the July 31, 2013 issue of the Calhoun NewsHerald, Connell said his writing was part of his search toward his greater purpose.

“Once I saw what that purpose was. It was way, way beyond me and way beyond just going to heaven some day,” Connell said last summer. “Once I saw my eternal purpose, I began to see all my past experiences in a different light.

The triumphs and the failures and all of it was this process we’re going through, and everybody goes through it.”

“Songs of a Son: Heart-cries Along the Way” is available on Amazon or by visiting Tate Publishing and Enterprises’ website at tatepublishing.com. Connell said the fifth book is well on its way, and he intends to cap the “Songs of a Son” series with a sixth book.

By BoB Crossen Greene Prairie Press A former Kampsville village trustee faces three felony drug charges and allegations of sexual assault after his arrest Aug. 22 in Normal.

Michael F. Dean, 56, of Kampsville was charged with manufacturing and delivery in close proximity to a school, manufacture and delivery of a Schedule III drug and possession of up to 15 grams of a controlled substance.

Dean was a elected to the Kampsville village board of trustees in 2001 for a two-year term and again in 2003 for a four-year term.

Chris Brown, Bank of Kampsville CEO, said Dean was also a board member for the bank in the past, but is no longer associated with the company. He did not comment on the arrest.

Kirk Ijams, assistant police chief in Normal, said Dean was arrested at a motel in Normal Aug. 22. Officers were responding to a call made at 1:37 a.m.

An article in “The Pantagraph,” a daily newspaper in BloomingtonNormal, reported officers responded to the scene due to a complaint from a man claiming Dean attempted to sexually assault him.

Among Dean's possessions, the news report states, officers found a bag belonging to Dean containing prescription drugs and digital photos of naked men who appeared to

In his books, he aims to simplify some of the teachings and give context to the struggles people may face regularly in their life.

Connell is a teacher at First Fruits Mission Bible Training Center in Jerseyville, although he has taken a break while working through health issues. Through his schooling as an adult, he jumped from subject to subject as he explored various religions and theologies.

That search always left him hungry for more, however, and it wasn’t until he returned to his Christian roots that he realized the questions he was posing could be answered by the Christian faith.

Writing hadn’t been a major focus of his life growing up, despite his later life track record with published works. He studied to become a doctor but strayed from the field when he felt like the profession was not his calling.

He wrote bits of poetry from time to time as a line would enter

Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, Aug. 31. Bro. Brad welcomed everyone and made the announcements. Potluck after morning services; Sept. 7 - 6 p.m. movie “God is not Dead” ; Sept. 17 at 6 p.m. monthly business meeting.

Looking ahead: Oct. 4 at 6 p.m.

“Chosen Ones” Sunday school report by Sis. Mary. Congregational singing led

by Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna at piano. Children’s Penny March as they went downstairs for church with Sis. Cindy as leader.

Message by Bro. Baxter: Romans 5: 1-10. We have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Without Christ you are lost. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. The love of God is shed abroad by our accepting him as our Saviour and the Holy Spirit lives within us.

Salvation is a free gift, we can do nothing to deserve it. While we were yet sinners, Jesus died for us.

As by one man, sin entered into the world and death by sin, but Jesus conquered sin when he died on the cross. As by one man’s disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Sin reigns unto

death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

The will be no church tonight.

Please pray for our country and our leaders, the lost, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the sick, the bereaved, our troops and their families, traveling mercies and one another.

Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 7 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 7 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 7 p.m.

Walkerville Baptist Church news Rev. David Slagel, Pastor From Pastor’s desk “Not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other and all the more as you see the day nearing. Hebrews 10: 25. The Lord established his church to carry on his work until he comes again.

There has never been an organization like it and never will be again.

It has a limited engagement on earth.

It began on Pentecost and will end at the Rapture. It’s not perfect, but it has changed the world. Don’t stay away, but encourage others by your involvement, and all the more as you see the day approaching.” Bro. David.

That was a message in itself. We had a good group and in inspiring Lord’s Supper in the remembrance of Christ and what he has done for all of us. The weather is so changeable. First sun, then clouds, then a little rain, then hot, hot. Well, summer has almost come and gone

and fall will be upon us. The corn is ripening fast. Start gathering up for the winter. It might be a bad one.

Only God knows and he will take care of us all.

Our prayer list is: Terry Watson (doing good), Alberta Dean, Ted Dean, Grace Perkins, Ed Crabtree, Susie Kiefer, Joshalyn Meyers (home and doing well), Ann Ford, Melanie Mast, Betty Newman, Ron Weigle, the Jennings family, the Drake family, our church family who was not there, we missed you.

The questions were discussed, as only one remembered to look them up. “Can little bird talk?” Yes, read Ecc. 10: 20. God can do anything. Remember the dove? We lost 24 hours when? When God helped Joshua and stopped the sun and moon for 24 hours for Joshua to help Israel. The question this week has not help. “What is the 4th commandment and what does it have with it?”

Also, “What is the shortest verse in

the Bible and where is it?” “What is the longest verse in the Bible and where is it?”

The Trustee meeting went well.

Some of the work is complete now and more on the way. What a few can do with God’s help. Remember the nicest place to be is in someone’s thoughts. The safest place to be is in someone’s prayers and the best place to be is in God’s hands.

Friends are very special. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear and they share a word of praise. Show your friends how much you care.

You are all God’s friend, and our friend when you come and worship with us. We want to encourage you to come and love the Lord and sing his praises and seek his blessings.

Walkerville is a very good place to be when God speaks. Come and listen. We love you and Jesus does also. See you in church Sunday.

Hillview Baptist Church news Bro. Jason Holliman, Pastor Alice Ford, reporter Birthdays: Haley Williams, Blaine Monroe, Alice Ford Specials: Haley Williams sang for us.

Announcements: Movie Night will be the 2nd Saturday in September at 6:30 p.m. Movie is “God’s Not Dead” Everyone welcome.

Today was the 5th Sunday and we had a luncheon after morning worship service then during the evening services we had a baptismal service followed by music provided by guests “Souljourner” It was a good day.

Message today was from Luke 21:25-38 The Rapture of the church will be

a great time for Christians but not for those who have not accepted Jesus as their Savior. Are you ready for Jesus’ return? The time is drawing near and there are still people that are not ready. It’s our job to tell them and get them to church so they can hear more about Jesus. We all need to be working till Jesus comes.

See you next Sunday.

In morning worship yesterday he shared with us that 45 years ago he surrendered to the ministry, 44 years ago he was ordained and Sept.

15 he and his wife Junia will be married 60 years. I think this gives him lots of reason to celebrate the month of September. During his absence, Mancel Day will be filling the pulpit.

Sunday was our fifth Sunday hymn sing, so lots of favorite songs were sung and lots of memories

were shared.

Our monthly ladies luncheon was held Aug. 19, hosted by Lois Hart and Peggy Clemons. Present to enjoy a tasty lunch were Barb O’Dell, Hazel Peterson, Dorothy Benton, Claudine Day, Doris Vestel, Carole Wells, Leona McFeeters, Judy Cannon, Patty Brown and Helen Baird.

All ladies are welcome.

That’s all for this week. Have a good week and be a friend to someone in need.

ished work of Jesus Christ. No one will be saved by their own efforts.

Galatians 2: 19-20 - old me vs. new me. I have been crucified with Christ. No longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me / new actions and attitudes – desire to live right and the fight to accomplish that!

New heart – beats for pleasing and honoring and glorifying the Creator of the heavens and the earth. New life – eternal life has now begun… and it is Christ living in me and through me to magnify Him. I have been born again.

Our church has a dedicated Bible Study Group that meets every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. If you are interested, please call Thea Adcock at (217) 983-2724.

Don’t forget Eldred Baptist Church will have a salad luncheon on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in our Fellowship Hall. Hope to see you there.

Eldred Baptist Church As reported by Mary Eustace Don Carpenter, Pastor Our service today, Aug. 31, 2014 was blessed beyond compare. It was incredible to be part of this celebration of Baptism for 3 young ladies of our church. Jenny Reif, Ally Bland and Liz Bland began their new life in Christ with this baptism. The Holy Spirit filled our little church today as the congregation sang “He Lives”. Special music with the “Reif’s” gave us blessings indeed.

Three young ladies, Liz Bland, Lauren Gray and Emma Curtner gave our church beautiful special music as well. What a glorious morning! The congregation sang “There’s something about that name.” Jesus most certainly joined our service of believers today.

Today’s message was on freedom: Old me/New me.

Galatians 2:14-21. The sermon describes that nothing is by chance.

You are here because God has a word for you today. Read Romans 8:33. It is God that justifies…Galatians 2:16 Faith- life changing trust in the fin-

Charity Begins at Home

Many of us dream of going to faraway exotic places and helping the poor and downtrodden there. Perhaps we have even gone on a mission trip to a foreign country, or we've gone out into our own communities to help others, or we've donated money or supplies to help refugees elsewhere. This is all well and good, but if we are neglecting the people under our own roof we are missing a crucial point about charity. It is easy to love people at a distance; it can be difficult to really love and care for the people we live with.

Family members, friends and roommates can grate on us with their annoying habits and just from sheer familiarity. Isn't the real test of whether you have God's love in your heart how you treat the difficult people you live and work with, the folks under your own roof who don't always express their appreciation and who know how to push your buttons, and seem to enjoy doing so? Charity begins at home. It's easy to be kind to those halfway around the world. Can we be truly kind to those we live with?

–Christopher Simon But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Calhoun High School gym to be dedicated Sept. 11 The Calhoun Unit 40 School Board of Education approved a proposal to honor former superintendent, James A. Ringhausen, by naming the high school gymnasium after him. A ceremony to dedicate the gym in his name will take place on Thursday, Sept. 11.

After the ceremony, the Lady Warrior Volleyball team will play against the West Central Co-op Girl’s team.

Terry Strauch, former superintendent, and Eric Kallal will lead the dedication, which will include the unveiling of the sign that will be placed in the gym in Ringhausen’s honor. Representatives from the Calhoun County American Legion posts will also participate. The CHS Band will play for the ceremony, too. Since the ceremony will be held on Sept. 11, Legionnaires will also conduct a moment of observance for the people who lost their lives in the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City.

Ringhausen was very active in supporting education, which continued even after he retired in 1990.

He was a former teacher, principal, and superintendent in Calhoun. Each year he also presented the American Legion Awards to the graduating seniors and eighth grade students.

He also dedicated a scholar athlete award to each sport and awarded it

to the athlete who held the highest GPA throughout the season. He was always an advocate for education and life-long learning.

During his retirement years, Ringhausen and his wife, Margaret Ann, both continued to be very active in the community. They became well known for donating their homemade cookies for various school and community fundraisers. In recent years, Ringhausen worked as an assistant for the Hanks-Gress Funeral Home, which kept him in contact with the citizens of the community. He also continued to work and volunteer his time to helping various organizations in the community and in his parish.

It is with the deepest respect and appreciation of all that James A. Ringhausen has done for the Calhoun Community Unit 40 School District that the gymnasium is named in his honor. In lieu of regular admission for the CHS Girl’s Volleyball game, attendees are requested to donate two or more non-perishable items for the Lutheran Family Services in Calhoun County. This will become an annual event to honor Ringhausen. It is requested that all who attend in honor of Ringhausen wear the school colors, red, white and black.

American black bears, mountain lions and gray wolves to be protected in Illinois The gray wolf, American black bear and mountain lion (cougar) will come under the protection of the Illinois Wildlife Code on Jan. 1, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller announced Monday. Senate Bill 3049, signed by Gov. Pat Quinn, gives the IDNR the authority to manage these species for the protection of both wildlife and public safety. All three species were present when settlers arrived in Illinois, but were all but gone from the state by the mid-1800s. Due to improved legal protections and habitat restoration, these species are returning to some of their former range in the eastern United States.

“Wolves, mountain lions and black bears have been absent from Illinois for more than 150 years. As the populations of these animals continue to grow, we expect to see occasional individuals dispersing from their current ranges into Illinois,” said IDNR Director Marc Miller. “I want to thank Governor Quinn and bill sponsors Sen. Linda Holmes and Rep. Kelly Cassidy for their leadership. This law gives the Department the ability to create long-term management goals and to draft response protocols on managing human-wildlife conflicts with these three species.”

SB 3049 allows landowners to take a black bear or mountain lion if there is an imminent threat to lives and property. The law also allows landowners to apply for a nuisance permit to remove an animal that is not an immediate threat. The gray wolf already receives legal protection in Illinois from both the U.S. and Illinois Endangered Species Acts. In these instances, endangered species law will be followed.

Due to its federal protection, rules for taking a gray wolf south of Interstate 80 are more stringent. South of Interstate 80, gray wolves may not be taken unless they present an imminent threat to people. Any other taking requires state and federal permits.

Common questions about SB3049: Is Illinois encouraging the return of large predators?

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is not actively working to restore gray wolves, American black

Carrollton, Illinois

bears or mountain lions to Illinois.

However, IDNR recognizes that occasional individual animals are likely to make their way here. A monthlong visit to northern Illinois by a black bear in June 2014 demonstrated the benefits of cooperation among state and local government entities in monitoring the bear, but allowing it to remain a wild animal. The passage of SB3049 is a first necessary step that allows the Department to develop formal rules and protocols to manage these species.

What will IDNR do to manage wolves, bears and mountain lions?

Right now, IDNR biologists and the Illinois Conservation Police are working together to develop protocols for addressing interactions between people and wolves, bears and mountain lions. Conservation Police will share this information with local law enforcement agencies, the likely firstresponders in the event of a sighting or nuisance call. Currently, Illinois Conservation Police officers are allowing these animals to go on their way unless they pose a threat.

What are the chances of populations of wolves, black bears and mountain lions becoming established in Illinois?

Re-colonization by these species is possible, although Illinois has relatively little suitable habitat in large enough blocks to support these animals. According to habitat models, only about 14.7 percent of Illinois’ area is suitable for black bears, 6.6 percent for mountain lions and 14 percent for gray wolves.

What can Illinois residents do to be prepared for encounters with these species?

Property owners can avoid encounters with wildlife by securing potential food sources, including pet food, barbecue grills, trash and other sources.

Bird feeders can be taken down temporarily in the event of a local sighting.

SPORTS Hawks start 2014 campaign with beating Fithian-Oakwood 40-6 B8

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

By JOHN HOUGH Greene Prairie Press The Carrollton Hawks started their 2014 football campaign with a methodical beating of the Fithian-Oakwood Comets by a score of 40-6.

“This senior class we have is a very talented group, but it’s always been a joke and a fact that we’ve had a slow start every game so we said we wanted to overcome that and we did tonight,” said coach Nick Flowers. “We started off and mixed it up really well. We ran the football, threw the football and screened well.

I really was very happy offensively.”

The first play of the year was a 17-yard run by senior Luke Palan. Later in the same drive Junior Cole Brannan caught a screen pass, broke a tackle and dashed 33 yards for the Hawks first touchdown of the year.

The Hawks stopped Oakwood and came right back to work on offense with a 6-yard quarterback keeper by Senior Jacob Smith to make the score 13-0. By that time the Hawks were showing off their individual athletic ability with runners speeding away, breaking tackles and making cutbacks to gain extra yards.

Carrollton started the second quarter with a 26-yard touchdown reception by Senior Cody Leonard. He would finish at 57 yards with 4 receptions. The Hawks then stopped the revamped Comets on a fourth and 2 in the red-zone. The Hawks, with all of the momentum, immediately

got out of the danger zone, on the 8-yardline, with an 89-yard completion to sophomore Jerrett Smith, who out-ran three defenders for 70 yards. Palan then scored on a 4-yard run. Brannan ended the Hawks splendid first half by scoring on a reverse handoff from 36 yards out. He even juked out two would-be tacklers on his way. The score was 33-0 at halftime.

Carrollton and Oakwood traded blows

“I didn’t even realize that. 7 on 7’s paid off. I really think the passing game in general did well tonight.”

Nick Flowers Football Coach to begin the second half. Palan scored his second rushing touchdown by scampering into the corner of the end zone from 3 yards out.

The Hawks starters scored on all of their six series.

“I didn’t even realize that. 7 on 7’s paid off. I really think the passing game in general did well tonight,” said Flowers. “As a whole tonight, 7 on 7’s definitely paid off and we throw probably 200 to 300 passes every day in practice

Carrollton, Illinois

and so if you’re going to run those types of plays then you have to be able to practice for them to work out here.”

Jacob Smith completed 10 of his 11 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns. Smith also rushed for 48 yards on eight carries with one touchdown. He finished with 282 total yards. The rushing attack was well balanced overall. Palan had 39 yards on nine carries with two touchdowns. Brannan collected 65 yards on four carries with one touchdown.

“Late in the game we were making some substitutions. Defensively we met a couple goals. We caused some turnovers tonight so I was very happy with our special teams play. Palan had a big punt return [for 48 yards] and Cole Brannan had some nice returns. So overall I was very happy with all three parts of the game offensively, defensively and special teams,” said Flowers.

Carrollton will now travel north to Concord to take on the Triopia Trojans.

“We are taking them one game at a time and we went over and scouted Triopia last night and we know we are going to have our hands full. We’ve been preaching four quarters so going to Triopia is a hard place to go play. They had a win last night and they didn’t like the way their season ended last year and you can tell because they are a good football team. This is a great game to start the season with playing a 3A school and Michael R. Weaver/Greene Prairie Press I really feel like that sets the tone for this Luke Palan of Carrollton attempts to break a tackle in Saturday night's game against season.”

Defense can win ballgames! Greenfield-Northwestern's Brenton Dalton scoops up the pigskin after Taegan Grisby caused a Brown County fumble. Flanked by Dylan Releford and Tyson Woods, Dalton took it all the way for a Tiger touchdown.

DaN BRaNNaN Greene Prairie Press Greenfield-Northwestern easily handled Brown County 36-14 in its home opener.

The Tigers head coach Joe Pembrook was excited about capturing the opening game in front of a home crowd.

“It is always nice to get the first one under your belt and overall I was pleased with the way we executed,’ he said. “We do have to get in better game shape. We were able to catch some breaks early and capitalized on those.”

Tagan Grigsby, a junior tailback, scored twice in the first quarter on a touchdown pass and interception.

Pembrook praised Austin Plogger for leading the Greenfield offense on the field.

“We have been flying under the radar and we have a little chip on our shoulder and something to prove,” Pembrook said. “We are pleased to get the first game under our belt.”

Pembrook sees the Western Illinois Valley Conference South being highly competitive

this year.

“I really like the brand of football the WIVC South plays,” he said. “It will be extremely competitive.”

This week against Mendon Unity, Pembrook said he expects to see improvement on both sides of the ball for the Tigers.

“We are going to work on our cohesiveness and timing,” he said. “We are looking forward to improving each and every week.”

Central knocks off North Greene Central knocked off North Greene in football play by a 32-6 margin this past Friday.

North Greene scored six points in the second quarter, but that was its only score.

Central scored six in the first quarter and 13 in each the third and fourth quarters for its 32 points.

North Greene had 11 first downs in the game.

The 0-1 Spartans will host Routt Friday night. Routt is also 0-1 after losing to Calhoun last weekend. dbrannan@campbellpublications.net

The tourney was shortened to nine holes because of rain. “ Carrollton individual scores Olivia Waters, 48, McKayla Schnettgoecke, 49, Ashley Fessler, 51, Tiffany Webb, 51, Hannah Lorsbach, 57, and Claire Meyer, 65.

Madison Mountain, No. 25 for Carrollton, prepares to set a strike during the Jersey matchup Tuesday night.

Carrollton won 25-17, 25-19.

DaN BRaNNaN Greene Prairie Press Carrollton’s volleyball girls clipped a strong Jersey team on Tuesday night at Carrollton High School 25-17 and 25-10.

Carrollton coach Toni Goetten said Jersey has a group that has already played some games and only lost one game in the Roxana Tourney.

“Jersey has a really good team,” she said. “Winning one and two against them is quite an accomplishment considering they were fifth at Roxana and we hadn’t played yet.”

The junior varsity Lady Hawks lost 25-19 and 25-21.

Leading Carrollton was

Rachel Williams with seven kills and Madison Struble with four.

Michaela Weber had 11 assists; Madison Mountain had eight digs and Rachel Williams had four blocks. Emily Struble had two blocks and three kills.

Carrollton resumes action in a game being played at Carrollton Grade School Thursday night against Pittsfield. Game time for junior varsity is 6:15 p.m. The game is being played at the grade school because of the heat.

Goetten believes this is going to be an outstanding season for her Lady Hawks.

“The girls are in high spirits,” she said. “They get along so well this year. It has been so much fun. I am excited to keep going with them.”
