Veteran’s family receives medals

INSIDE LOCALS

The old saying is that it’s better late than never, and David Surbeck can attest to this as he just received the medals his brother, Jon Frederick Surbeck, earned while serving in the Korean Conflict – more than 50 years after the fact.

U.S. Congressman Rodney Davis presented David Surbeck, on behalf of his brother, with the Korean Defense Service medal, National Defense medal and the Good Conduct medal plus a marksmanship medal for auto-rifle marksmanship.

Jon Surbeck was a telegrapher and radio operator in the military, serving 1961-62 in both Japan and Korea. He died in 2006, having never received the medals he earned for protecting his country.

His brother David, of White Hall, set about to obtain those medals for his family and learned it would take someone higher up than him to coax the military into giving Jon what he rightfully deserved.

“I started out by going to St. Louis to the place where they keep the veteran’s records and I left them the death

certificate and filled out all the forms required for them to release the medals,” Surbeck said. “They sent me a letter a couple days later saying that the place had had a fire and all of his records were destroyed.”

David Surbeck, however, continued his onward push to get the medals posthumously awarded to his brother.

“I didn’t see how his files could have been destroyed in the fire because he got out of the service a few years after the fire,” Surbeck said. “So, I called Congressman Davis’ office and asked for their help. A few months went by and I saw Mr. Davis at a fish fry in Jerseyville and told him of my situation, and within a week’s time I was sent all of his records and information.”

Congressman Davis said this is one of the jobs of his office.

“His brother, Jon, deserved these medals and what we (myself and my staff) have been able to do at his request is to call the military and make them back track through his records to find out what medals he rightfully deserved,” Davis said. “Even though Jon is not here, his family is going to be able to take these medals he deserved and pass them down through the generations.”

Honoring

There were many soldiers who came out of the military and never received the medals they had earned. In fact, according to Davis, it was quite common.

“A lot of times when a soldier got out of the military, they just wanted to go home and integrate back into society,” Davis said. “They wanted to get a job and support their family – they weren’t worried about accolades. They weren’t worried about whether or not they got a medal telling them what they did because they already knew what they had done. Then, years down the road what happens is family members, or a lot of times the veteran themselves, say, ‘You know what, I never got my medals.’ It’s just sad that it takes members of Congress to go in on their behalf to get these medals.”

However, Davis did say presenting family or veterans with their medals is one of the best parts of his job.

“To be able to help out families like Mr. Surbeck’s get the medals he rightfully deserved makes my job worth it,” Davis said. “This is where my staff comes in – they do a tremendous job of trying to help out our constituents. I get the satisfaction of being able to present them to the families.”

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press When North Greene School District discontinued funding its art program in the elementary school, two former teachers took it upon themselves to continue the program by donating their time to come into the school four times a month to give the students a taste of the art world.

This year they are going to get a little help from the federal government through a $545 grant. A Community Arts Access Grant has been awarded to the North Greene Elementary PTO. Volunteer teachers, Tammy Winters and Pam Painter, who is also project director for the North Greene Elementary PTO, will continue to direct an art program utilizing the money.

Art education at the North Greene Elementary School is partially supported by this grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Two Rivers Arts Council. It is also funded through donations from Christ United Methodist Church and the North Greene Elementary Association.

“This is going to come in handy as we expanded the program to included every grade now instead of just kindergarten through fifth grade,” Painter said. “With the closing of White Hall Elementary this year and Roodhouse now having kindergarten through sixth grade, we decided to expand the program to include the entire school.”

Winters and Painter have been volunteering their services for five years, teaching art lessons to kindergarteners through third graders with Mary Price and Mary Jane Steelman providing art lessons for the fourth and fifth graders. This year Kathy Newingham and Carolyn Camp will be assisting with the fourth through sixth grade art lessons.

“We feel that it is important for children to utilize their talents because we have a lot of talented kids at North Greene,” Painter said. “It also gives them an opportunity to just learn about art and be better observers of our world.”

Students are taught about an artist and his style through the use of Promethean boards, prints and books. A grant from the Foundation for Educational (See, NORTH GREENE, A2)

It’s no secret that small town pharmacies are being squeezed out of business by the big pharmacy chains, but now the federal government might be helping make the local pharmacy a thing of the past.

Many provisions of the Affordable Care Act directly affect independent pharmacy owners such as Byron Berry who owns Pharmacy Plus in Carrollton and White Hall. Berry met with Congressman Rodney Davis recently and shared his concerns with Davis and asked for his help.

Berry said one of the main things hurting him was the reduction of reimbursement in July on strips for diabetic patients. He said his profit margin on a box of 100 test strips dropped from $14 to $4.

“Whatever we bill to Medicare, we get paid the $20.48, and then in three months they (manufacturer’s) rebate us to bring the cost down to

about $16,” Berry said. “Of course, the brand name manufacturers don’t make much, either, so they have sent out a letter to the people who were getting strips on Medicare saying that they started this new mail order plan.”

The manufacturers are encouraging diabetic patients to get their supplies directly through them instead of through their local pharmacy.

“The government, in essence, is pushing more stuff into mail order which is cutting our ability to provide service to our people,” Berry said.

“They have also made it now where we can’t deliver to our elderly or shut-in patients without applying for a mail order pharmacy license.”

Davis said cuts such as these are part of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. “During the last campaign a lot of candidates like me were talking about this $700 million in Medicare cuts they were going to implement to offset some of the cost,” he said.

“Well, I don’t think any of us realized that almost half of that would be swallowed up by a website, but that is what has happened.”

Davis said he is a loyal supporter of the local pharmacy and uses the local pharmacy in his hometown of Taylorville for his medicinal needs.

“We have got to make sure we have that face-to-face contact between the pharmacist and the patients,” Davis said.

Berry said the Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) are also to blame for the skyrocketing cost of pharmaceutical products. A PBM is a thirdparty administrator of prescription drug programs. They decide what drugs people will take and how much pharmacists will get reimbursed for dispensing them.

According to an article in Fortune magazine, “some 30 million Americans are expected to gain prescription drug coverage through the Affordable Care Act.” Berry blames PBMs for much of

the problem in the pharmaceutical industry.

“My contention is that they really have contributed to the inflation of pharmaceutical prices because they have insulated the consumer from what the cost is,” Berry said. “The consumer has a small co-pay so they don’t know how much the medicine costs.”

Davis calls the Affordable Care Act anything but that.

“The website has been shut down for over 30 days now and the President likes to talk about how this was supposed to be as easy as going online to buy an airline ticket,” David said.

“I got news for him, if Travelocity were down for 30 days they would be out of business, but instead he brings more people in to fix it.”

Berry said the Affordable Care Act does have some good things in it, but it also has some bad things, such as he mentioned above.

“Why can’t both sides sit down and pick the good things out and use

those and then weed out some of the other stuff that is not good,” Berry asked Davis. “That would be the reasonable way to handle it.”

Davis said it was all about politics.

“It became about the shutdown.

My side made the mistake of saying you are going to have to defund or shut down,” Davis said. “Defunding leaves the law in place and I would rather say ‘let’s delay the implementation of the law,’ which would delay the funding also and get ourselves to a point where we can fix it.”

Davis said he wants to see people have health coverage, but the Affordable Care Act isn’t the answer.

“The answer is not to have 100,000 people lose their insurance,” Davis said. “The answer is not to have people who were happy with their plans have to walk away and go into an exchange that is not lowering their costs, which is what they were promised. It’s not giving them better access which is what they were promised.”

Tacos with a twist at Carrollton’s newest eatery

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press When the Twisted Taco opened its doors for business on Oct. 23, it was both a leap of faith and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for a local family.

The Twisted Taco is a part of Trakeldy Enterprises, LLC, which is owned by Tracy Camden, her brother Randy Camden, and sister, Kelly Camden Bartsch. All three are graduates of Carrollton High School.

“It has always been a dream of mine to open a restaurant and I have built several business plans over the years, but the time just wasn’t right,” said Tracy Camden, CEO and spokesperson for the Twisted Taco. “I love to cook

“It has always been a dream of mine to open a restaurant and I have built several business plans over the years, but the time just wasn't right.”

Tracy Camden

CEO of Trakeldy Enterprises and after spending all those years in Reno, I have some really great recipes for Mexican

food.”

The old Lindsey or Pierson Hotel on North Main Street fit the bill perfectly.The original plan called for opening a restaurant in the lower three rooms of the former hotel on Main Street, with the rent from the five upstairs apartments basically paying for the building.

Randy Camden is Chief Operating Officer of Trakeldy Enterprises, taking care of operations and maintenance on the building, while Kelly Camden Bartsch is Chief Financial Officer and takes care of the financial aspects of the venture. As general manager, Tracy Camden handles the business side.

With only their savings as seed money, the trio set about to transform the former jewelry store into a restaurant.

that we needed to do something a little more urban because this is a small country town and I wanted to bring a little bit of the city to the country,” Camden said. “I thought I’d like to turn the place into somewhat of an urban coffeehouse/Mexican cantina feel. It doesn’t sound like it would go together, but it does.”

Built in 1832, the interior was taken down to the original brick walls.

“This, along with the leather couch and window seats, gives it that little bit of urban coffeehouse,” Camden said. “There is nothing like it around.”

Friends and family are very important to Camden and make up the majority of the staff.

The Twisted Taco, located on 424 North Main Street in Carrollton, opened for business on Oct. 23 in what used to be Nim's Jewelry Store across from the barber shop. The restaurant is owned by siblings, left to right: Tracy Camden, Kelly Camden Bartsch and Randy Camden. Asked how they came up with the name, Tracy Camden said "It's a group of white people making really great Mexican food - that's pretty twisted in itself."

Seems Carrollton was looking for a "twist" as businesses has been great since opening.

(Continued from A1) Davis, are both long-time friends.

Coming up with a name that would stick in people’s minds turned out to be a group effort.

“More than anything we wanted a name which would stand out in people’s minds,” Camden said. “We wanted to be out of the ordinary and we thought Twisted Taco was perfect cause we said we are all a bunch of twisted individuals anyway – meaning silly, loco, crazy. It started out as a joke, but it kind of stuck.”

Consistently great food and customer service are two of the most important priorities of Camden.

“I want everyone that walks in that door to feel like they are part of the family or part of something bigger,” Camden said.

Great food translates into a menu made up almost entirely of items cooked fresh daily on-site and not from the freezer or a can.

“We cook and season all of our own meat right here in the kitchen, and even the refried beans are freshly made,” she said. “The only thing we use that comes out of a can is the chili for the nachos.”

Twisted Taco also makes all of its sauces fresh, and then there is its signature sauce – the white queso cheese.

“The queso sauce is my own recipe,” Camden said, adding the sauce comes standard with any dish containing cheese. “I had a recipe I used before and I decided to take a

little twist on it and do something a little different, and everyone who tasted it just went berserk over it so we just threw out the old recipe and used the new one.”

There are also three signature dishes of the "twisted" variety – the twisted taco, twisted burrito and twisted quesadilla. Each signature item contains sautéed onions as opposed to just chopped onions.

As for customer service – you won’t find a more friendly greeting than when you walk into the Twisted Taco.

“Greet the customers and ask them how they are doing when they walk in the door before you even ask them what they want,” Camden said. “I hate walking into a restaurant where they merely say, ‘Can I help you’ or they simply watch you and never smile until you decide what you want.”

Even though they opened in the middle of the week on a Wednesday to avoid the rush of the weekend, nothing prepared them for the deluge of customers waiting to try out their food.

“It was both a blessing and a curse for us,” Camden said. “We had them lined up out the door for a good 9-10 hours a day for three straight days without stopping. I ended up making three more food supply orders that week and saw the need to hire several more people.”

Camden admits her employees were not ready for what came at them for those first three days.

“We didn’t have time to do a soft opening like I wanted to do, but the night before I had all of them up here and we made everything and put it on the steam table and everyone got to take turns ordering and making the food,” she said.

Time and experience has taken care of that problem.

“I don’t think anyone has to worry about coming up here and standing in a long line now,” Camden said. “Those first few days helped us to quickly roll with the punches and tweak our process to come up with some better ways to serve the people and get them in and out quicker with fewer mistakes.”

As for economical pricing of the food items, Camden said it was very important for people to be able to bring their entire family in for a meal.

“People probably say I’m crazy but I grew up in this town and I know there are a lot of hard working people here that have families and their incomes aren’t always as high as some of the incomes in the city,” Camden said. “They don’t have a lot of spare cash to take their kids out to eat on a regular basis and my theory was while I want to do this as a living, I don’t have to get rich.”

The people of the community have responded accordingly.

“This town and the surrounding communities have really gotten behind us and showed their support these past few weeks,” Camden said. “They have showed us that

this is something that they want and it makes me feel like we did the right thing.”

Though Twisted Taco has limited seating at the moment, in the very near future an adjacent dining room will open which will provide seating for 48. The business offers wi-fi and four large televisions.

There also happens to be a historical “twist” to the Camden’s purchase of the building. Camden’s great-grandmother actually worked in the hotel as a housekeeper during World War II. “My grandmother was born in 1920 and she said her mother worked here when she was a little girl, and then during World War II my dad was born and she was working here the day my grandmother went into labor with my dad,” Camden said. “They had to come up here to get her to help my grandma give birth to my dad.”

Camden brought her grandmother, Loraine Camden, who now resides in a nursing home, to the building just before it opened.

“When we brought her up here to see it she told us it was very special that her mother worked here when she was a child and now her great-grandchildren own the same building,” Camden said. “She said my great-grandmother would have never dreamed when she was scrubbing floors and making beds in this place back in the day that her greatgrandchildren would someday own the building.”

North Greene (Continued from A1) Studies Inc. allowed the program “Art on a Cart” to begin, as it provided money for a cart and materials.

“We try to teach about the artist himself and what he uses as far as his medium and technique,” Painter said. “We also try to teach some art lingo and terminology and then we follow up with a project in the style of the artist.”

This month’s lesson was of special interest to the children as it revolved around the North Greene area.

“We talked about White Hall Pottery and gave them a little bit of history about the Ruckles

and White Hall Sewer Pipe and Stoneware Company and the kids were very attentive to it,” Painter said. “We are going to follow up with a clay project in which they will make pinch pots and other clay pieces.”

The new grant will be used to pay for a visit from an illustrator who will talk with the students and engage them in the art of illustration. Materials will also be purchased with the grant.

“We are excited about this new grant because this is something we may be able to get each year,” Painter said. “We thank our government and our legislators for allocating money for the arts.”

Operation Christmas underway and looking for donations and volunteers

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With Christmas just around the corner Carrollton’s Operation Christmas is gearing up for another busy season providing food for those in need and gifts for children in the Carrollton School District.

Representatives from the area churches met Nov. 4 at the Knights of Columbus hall to make plans for this year’s Operation Christmas drive. St. John’s is the coordinator for this year’s efforts.

“This is a community project which helps to make Christmas brighter for the families in this area,” Marge Hopkins with the United Methodist Church said. “There are so many people in need in our area and this need becomes even greater around the holidays.”

Hopkins said the cut-off date for adding names is Dec. 1 and names can be added by pastors of area churches and representatives of the three area schools. All families must live in the Carrollton School District.

Operation Christmas also involves the youth of the community.

“Students in the St. John’s School along with Carrollton Elementary and high schools will again be asked to collect canned goods and non-perishable goods for the boxes,” Hopkins said. “We always have a tremendous response from the kids for this project.”

Boxes for donations will also be placed at Pharmacy Plus and the Carrollton Bank for those who would like to donate canned goods or other non-perishable items. Boxes are also delivered to the elderly and shut-ins.

Families without children receive only food in their boxes, but families with children also receive gifts for the children.

“These gifts are provided by the various churches with each church

being responsible for a certain group of children,” Hopkins said. “For instance, our church is providing gifts for girls under the age of 10. Our church also has an Angel Tree set up in the hall where someone can pick a name and buy for that child, and I’m sure the other churches have something similar going on.”

Volunteers plan to set up boxes this year at the Knights of Columbus hall on Dec. 9 with the sorting and packing of the canned goods taking place the following day, Dec. 10, and finishing up on Dec. 11-12. The pick-up date for those on the list will be the following day, Dec. 13, at the KC hall.

Those who wish to make a monetary donation towards Operation Christmas may send contributions to Treasurer Kathy Harms, RR 1, Box 181, Carrollton, IL 62016. Make checks payable to Operation Christmas.

Help is needed to collect non-perishable foods, sort the food products and pack boxes at the KC hall on the above dates listed.

If anyone has any questions or would like to volunteer to help, please contact Margaret (Peg) Schnelt at (217) 942-3188, Marjorie Shade at 9426476 or St. John’s Catholic Church at 942-3551.

Representatives from the various churches attending the initial planning meeting in addition to Hopkins were: Marilyn Cordes for Ruth Adcock, Diane Wolfley, Tunie Brannan and Bev Reif of Eldred Baptist Church; Joyce Keeley of Faith Baptist Church; Emily Carroll and Kathy Harms of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church; Nancy Flatt, Donna Reif and Gayle Stumpf of Presbyterian Church; Judy Winters of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church; Frances Coonrod of Assembly of God; Peg Schnelt, Marjorie Shade, Albert Roth, Betty Mullink, Betty Brannan and Mary Loyet of St. John’s Catholic Church.

Vanetta Entrekin, Dorothy Converse, Marge Hankins, Wanda Meng, Eloise Featherstone, Mrs. Hall, Gladys Reese and Carolyn Meng spread out on white tables. Each lady wanted some for a winter bouquet. Lois Lynn got two big, I mean big, mason fruit jars for the gals to buy; $1 bill, $5 bills, $10 dollar bills and a lot of silver coins depleted the vines. Some was given back to grace the vegetable beef soup tables.

I was there and I remember buying tickets for my Presbyterian Church buddies (White Hall) Velma Day, Babe Griswold, Rachel Sykes and Nancy Mansfield, Ruth Larson had to work.

Rose Rives, Barb Rives, Joleen and Eileen Scott, Eileen Brown and Doris Hodap . I did omit Louise Thayer and Bro. Sanders wife.

Recently when Dr. Turpin came to administer my B12 and arthritis shots, he was happy as a lark. He and Amy had gone shopping for a grate for their wood fireplace and found the exact fit.

While out shopping they purchased beef ribs. Amy made homemade noodles and an apple pie. A different pre-Thanksgiving meal. While she was attending a retired teachers gathering the doctor filled appointments at Fillagher Clinic. He treated three new patients that had been in school with him. Isn’t that great?

It was kind of Pastor Tim of the Greenfield Methodist Church to come to my home with the Upper Room.

Bro. Tim also serves the Rockbridge Methodist Church. The Carlinville lady minister is blind. When Bro. Hans came to serve the White Hall Presbyterian Church, I subscribed to the Upper Room in Braille. She told me that she enjoys this very much.

Memories: people - couples of all ages were waltzing on a TV show. Now for the memories - mother and dad, J.R. and Mildred Shields, G.P. Bowman with Mary Lou Love, Clay Crouch and Peggy Lou Smith, Billy Hugh Schields and Melba Love; Bob Price, Pug Baker and John Eldred - with all the girls.

Jack and Una Frazier, Howard and Kathleen Powell, John and Blondie Ewening, Clyde and Eileen Cole, H.R. and Shirley Girhard, Leon and Ella Middleton, Joe and Ruth Valentine, Luther Kinser and Elaine Wilhite, Leo Faulkner and Barbara Eaton, Mable and Bob Cole. Dale Hammon and I waltzed on roller skates.

Salamungundi was a fun club formed by the Crescent Society of the Greenfield Presbyterian Church ladies more than 100 years ago. The big meeting was held in November.

Each lady took a dollar bill and wrote a verse to Sally stating how she earned this penny by penny during the year.

In that day and age ladies did not work away from home, so this was difficult. Almost everyone owned a cow - ours was pastured at Geo and Lou Steckels’s. During the week we girls went with her to milk. Mother pasteurized, bottled and Mel and I delivered at night to paying customers. She delivered mornings to the unfortunate. Aunt Amy Jennings laundered Uncle George’s Barber Shop towels. Pearl (Lucille Barnett) Gustine ironed those large linen table cloths for the church dinners after Pauline Bott, mother, Mel and I had washed by hand. J.P. Bauer, J. Fred’s dad took these linens, wrapped them in tissue paper and stored in big drawers. Verna Faulkner Wallace worked at Middleton’s - she furnished the tissue paper. Pauline Bott (Kenyon’s mother) also laundered Dr. Bott’s surgical coats. Irons were heated over a corn cob fire. I know that Mel and I were more fortunate. We only had to carry the split kindly and wood into the house. Lurinda Burroughs picked some blackberries and made jam.

Mrs. Pearl Bauer picked out hickory nuts, put into a pint fruit jar and tied with a ribbon for me. She said, “This is my gift to you for hauling so many of us around town”. The ladies were surprised that Mel and I had cider (we bought from the store) for them to share at home. Dusty helped us to find bittersweet.

This a.m. my caretaker Debbie Fields and I had church in my living room. We felt the presence of God with the sun shining so brightly.

She read aloud Chapter 11 of Isaiah.

On the piano I played and she sang Onward Christian Soldiers. She went home and I did fiddle-de-dee things.

After a sumptuous lunch of beef ribs, fried apples - Dr. Turpin made me hungry for both - I put on my white hat and mountain coat. Debbie drove us around back to my bittersweet vines; she jerked 3 vines for her and three vines for me. Three she has in a glass jar at her house. I had her to plant one in soil and two in water at my house.

We are attempting to root.

Many years ago Dusty, Clifton and I spent a pleasant afternoon going up the CB&Q railroad right-of-way. We cut three big cardboard boxes of those beautiful orange berries for the Greenfield Methodist Ladies Bazaar. Lois Lynn greeted us. Trudy Cole, Gladys Ford,

Senior Health Assistance Program offered through IVEDC

Frank J. Schwab, Executive Director of the Illinois Valley Economic Development (IVEDC) Corporation, would like to make the public aware that IVEDC is participating in the Senior Health Assistance Program (SNAP) through a grant received from the Illinois Department on Aging — Area Agency on Aging. The services provided as part of this grant include: Assistance with Medicare Part D applications and updates. Medicare

Part D, also called the Medicare prescription drug benefit, is a federal program intended to subsidize the cost of prescription drugs for Medicare. IVEDC will also assist with extra help, and the Medicare Saving Program, both which may provide additional financial help with the cost of these services for low income seniors.

Along with the health related programming, IVEDC will also assist with Reduced Fee License Plates

(formerly ‘Circuit Breaker’) which offers a substantial discount on license plate fees to eligible senior citizens (65 years of age and older) and persons with disabilities.

Individuals interested in receiving help in applying for these services should contact their local Illinois Valley office: Macoupin County - (217) 8394431, Jersey County — (618) 4989521, Greene County (217) 9426824.

The speaker said we must know what is going on and be willing to encourage them to do the right thing. She read scripture Proverbs 31: 8-9.

Message Romans 8:26-31. The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us because we know not what we should pray for. Without Jesus we can do nothing, he leads every step of the way if we let him have control of our life. Jesus knows what is best for us. Jesus cares for us regardless of what people

say. Serve the Lord with gladness, enter his courts with praise.

It’s hard to believe but every barn again Christian is a Saint. That doesn’t mean we are perfect. But we are to strive to be more like Jesus. We were made in God’s image, so we need to live our life so it will be a blessing to God and those around us. Last we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Sunday evening: In the absence of Bro. Baxter Bro. Johnnie Renkin preached to us. He used lots of scripture. II Corinthians 4, Mathew 9: 18, Isaiah 59-2, Isaiah 54:8 and 54: 10. The message was we have faith as God’s children to live our life so others see Jesus in us. In the Old Testament you could not see God face to face and live, but Jesus changed all that and they could see him face to face. Good job Bro. Johnny Please pray for those with upcoming surgeries, those recuperating from surgery, the sick, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the lost, the bereaved, traveling mercies, our troops and their families, our country and our leaders, all the disasters and one another.

Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 6 p.m.; Tuesday evening Bible Study, 6 p.m.; and Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study, 6 p.m.

Walkerville Baptist Church news

Bro. Ron Heard, Pastor What a day just before the break.

Beautiful! The sky was full of jets flying around. But no birds going south.

It seems strange we have not seen the geese or ducks or birds flying south.

Like it is most fall days. I guess they know what is best and went another direction. I think that is what a lot of church members have done. Gone the wrong direction.

We had a nice group and a good message at church. The question was “What do fools hate? Prov. 1: 7. The question for this week is “What are the seven things that God dislikes?”

Prov. 6:16. Write them on paper and bring them. We will have Bro. Ron to help explain them.

Our prayer list is Monica friends, Monica’s brother (he is in the Philippines, but he is safe). Pray for the people there, terrible storm!

Remember Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, the Malin family, Betty Newman, Melanie Mast, Gerald Day, Larry Phillips, pray for our church and those who are not there.

Remember Thanksgiving dinner is Sunday the 24th at noon. Turkey furnished, bring a dish or dessert or just come, there is always lots to eat.

We have so much to be thankful for.

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it has arrived. We never get what we want and we never want what we get. We never have what we like and we never like what we have.

God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away or who you let stay and who you let go.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver. Pro. 22.

A good man’s name is rather to be chosen than great riches. Pro. 22. He who hides his face from the poor shall have many a curse. Pro. 28.

Let’s all rest blessed and remember what we have to be thankful for and let God know how you feel by being in church. Walkerville is a good start. Jesus loves you and so do we.

See you in church Sunday.

During morning worship Kari Anders and Paige McGee sang "No Not One" and Chancey Sturgeon played "Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone" on the piano.

Nov. 16 the ladies of Barrow Church will serve lunch at the farm equipment sale at the Russell Smith farm. Proceeds of the sale will go to the Independence Fund for wounded veterans. This group buys track wheelchairs for wounded veterans so they will be more independent to hunt, fish and do things they can't in a regular wheelchair.

Dec. 1 will be the start of our Advent season and we will also have Danny McPherson as a guest to share his puppet/ventriloquist ministry with us.

That's all for this week. Don't forget to thank a veteran for their service to our country. Have a good week and share a smile with everyone you meet.

Carrollton, Illinois

The value of silence in our noisy and busy world is easy to overlook, and even though many of us would like a quieter environment, it can be almost impossible to find a truly quiet place in much of the modern world. Cars, trucks and motorcycles with loud mufflers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to disrupting what little serenity we have. Loud music and boisterous parties are perennial disturbers of the peace as well. Since loud and inconsiderate people are not likely to be convinced of the errors of their ways, holy men and women have always known the importance of sequestering themselves, going into caves or sojourning in the wilderness.

Some religious orders even take vows of silence. Finding quiet time each and every day pays big dividends to our spiritual and emotional health, and probably our physical health as well. We should consider also whether our lifestyle is contributing to a quieter world or if we are one of those vexatious disturbers of the peace.

Local trainer offers advice for keeping fit through the holidays

By ROBERT LYONS Greene Prairie Press The winter months can wreak havoc on a healthy body, but one local personal trainer said it doesn’t have to be that way.

The holidays are notorious for helping people pack on the pounds, but Karen Rose, of Mighty Rose Fitness, said the short, cold days can be just as detrimental to psyche as the waistline.

“I think this time of year, it’s not just your physical health that gets impaired, but the mental health.

Days tend to be much more grey and gloomy, and people tend to get more depressive,” Rose said. “That, to me, is one the No. 1 thing for winter. It’s not so much putting on the couple extra pounds that you can get rid of as soon as the snow goes away.”

On her Facebook page, Mighty Rose Fitness, Rose regularly posts workout routines which can be adapted for any fitness level, without any equipment.

Rose, who has been a personal trainer for nearly two decades, said food choice is important for maintaining a healthy waistline through the holiday season. But, she tries to refrain from using the word “diet.”

The many holiday parties, according to Rose, can be a tremendous obstacle to healthy food choices.

“I normally suggest having something to eat before they go, and then scoping out the veggie trays and fruits,” she said.

“Trying to stick to one or two glasses of a dry red wine is probably the way to go.”

Rose also has a cookbook available through her Facebook page, which she wrote. It is full of recipes and meal planning tips for a healthy lifestyle.

Rose’s clients range from young athletes to the elderly and everyone in between. She also teaches a class at the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center.

For more information, find Rose on her Facebook page, or call (618) 691-6500.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CLASS 1A PLAYOFFS

Defense dominates Hawks' second-round game Touchdown in final seconds makes difference in 6-0 decision

SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press One big play.

It was obvious — through nearly the entirity of Carrollton's Class 1A second-round playoff matchup with Casey-Westfield — that was all it would take, one way or

the other, for a victor to emerge.

In a battle between stifling defenses, in the end — and near the end — Casey-Westfield made the big play in the form of a 63-yard touchdown run by quarterback Nicco Stepina. He broke free to score with just 10.6 seconds to play in regulation, giving the Warriors a

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Luke Palan fights for extra yardage against Casey-Westfield Saturday in Casey. The Hawks junior led the squad with 125 rushing yards on 20 carries against the Warriors.

6-0 win Saturday in Casey.

"Sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. It just didn't bounce our way there that play," Hawks head coach Nick Flowers said. "They had ran the draw a couple plays before and we thought, even if they ran the draw again, it’d be no big deal and we’d swarm him. We feel like we should have made the tackle and gone to overtime, but that wasn’t the case."

The game felt destined for overtime throughout, with neither team's high-powered offense able to break through against the opponent's tough defense.

"We knew they were going to be tough, hard-hitting kids," CaseyWestfield coach Jim Sullivan said.

"Carrollton did a hell of a job.

Defensively we just both played a great game."

Casey-Westfield (11-0) entered Saturday's second-round playoff matchup averaging more than 47 points per game, but had trouble solving the problem that was the Hawks' defense. Carrollton collected two lost fumbles, made a pair of 4th-down stops, produced three three-and-outs and stalled another Warriors drive before Casey-Westfield scored on its final possession.

"We limited a team that scores 40-something points per game to one big-play score," Flowers said. "The defense showed up to play. That's a great offensive team and they've got some tall receivers out there."

Neither team was able to establish much of an areial attack. Junior running back Luke Palan led the Hawks with 125 rushing yards on

The Hawks and Warriors played a scoreless game with plenty of strong defense into the final minute of their Class 1A second-round matchup, but a long touchdown run with 10.6 seconds remaining gave Casey-Westfield a 6-0 win and ended Carrollton's season with a 9-1 record. censinger@campbellpublications.net

20 carries. Sophomore Cole Brannan added 39 rushing yards and threw a pair of passes for 22 yards while sharing time at quarterback with starter Jacob Smith.

"Jacob had a real bad head cold and was having a harder time breathing and we knew we had the

capability of moving Jacob and Cole around, so we thought we had to mix it up," Flowers said.

Carrollton's best scoring chance came on its first drive of the fourth quarter. The Hawks took the ball from their own 8-yard line to the Warriors' 8-yard line, but

were pushed back on a 4th-and-3 conversion try.

"We had opportunities offensively," Flowers said. "It just didn' work out for us."

Carrollton ended its 2013 campaign with a 9-2 record. selliott@campbellpublications.net

The North Greene High School football team gathers for its final postgame huddle following the Spartans' season-ending loss to Tri-Valley Saturday, Nov. 2, in Downs. After missing out on postseason football in each of the past seven seasons, North Greene qualified for this year's playoffs as a five-win, at-large selection before bowing out against top-seeded Tri-Valley.
