Concern persists over TIF impacts to homeowners

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Comprehensive attention has given to the effects the proposed Carrollton TIF district will have on the various taxing bodies, such as the school, library, fire department, etcetera.

However, less focus has been given to the impact on some homeowners, some of whom are still concerned what the implementation might mean.

Because a TIF district must be contiguous, there is no way to get around having some private homes located within the district, such as along North Main Street and down Fifth Street or Highway 67.

This is a concern for some like Donna Nonneman, the at-large member of the Joint Review Board, with a home in the area of the proposed district.

Eminent domain refers to the power of state and federal governments to take private property for public use.

The Fifth Amendment provides that the government may only exercise this power if they provide just compensation to the property owners. This just compensation is considered to be the fair market value of the property.

The definition of public use was broadened by the Supreme Court in

“The thought of losing my home scares me.

The only piece that I have of my history and my grandma’s history is now in this future marked as commercial/industrial/institutional.�

Jessie Bell Carrollton resident The idea behind a TIF is to promote new businesses in those areas within the TIF district who would be eligible for TIF funds. While it is very uncommon for a homeowner to receive TIF

funds to improve their property like a business would be eligible for, it is possible, though unlikely, that that property could become a victim of eminent domain.

Deer harvest low after first firearm season weekend

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Greene Prairie Press The first weekend of the firearm season concluded on Nov. 24, and based on current numbers it appears the harvest is not what it was despite the growing deer population.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has released the total number of deer taken for each county with the state total of 50,173, down from 58,836 deer reported last year.

In Greene County, the downward trend is reiterated with hunters harvesting a total of 632 deer this year in comparison to 700 last year.

Greene is not alone either. Across the region, total harvests are down for the first firearm season. In Calhoun, 494 deer were harvested this year as compared to 618 in 2018. In Jersey, the total was 401 compared to 474 last year. Pike reported nearly 200 less than last year’s total of 1,361 with only 1,174 harvested this year.

Carrollton’s Operation Christmas is underway

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press For more than 30 years, Operation Christmas has brought hope and joy into the homes of the less fortunate in Carrollton and Eldred by providing food for the families and shut-ins and presents for the children.

The program is sponsored by the Carrollton and Eldred area churches and churches take turns heading up the operation.

This year, that task falls on the Carrollton First Presbyterian Church

and Eldred Baptist Church. “This year, we will be providing food and gifts for over 90 families and shut-ins,� Operation Christmas spokesman Andrea Schnelten said. “While we are the host churches this year, this is a collaborative effort between all of the churches in the area.�

Schnelten said each church has a specific role to play in Operation Christmas. “Different churches are tasked with providing gifts for the children according to the children’s ages,� she

said. “For example, our church might be providing gifts for a pre-school boy while another church might be getting items for a pre-school aged girl.�

It’s the same way with certain food items such as milk, bread, eggs and meat – items that are perishable.

Other items Schnelten said she hopes the schools can help provide. “We are going to have canned food drives at all three schools in Carrollton next week from Dec. 9 through Dec. 13,� Schnelten said. “That will kind of help us fill our

boxes with canned goods.�

While the schools and businesses are collecting canned goods, Schnelten said monetary donations are always welcome. “We still have to buy those perishable items that can’t be donated,� she said. “The monetary donations help us do that. We depend on community support and monetary donations to keep this program going every year.�

Volunteers are also needed to help with the program.

hen thinking about the number one killer of Americans these days, the first thing that might come to mind is cancer but that is not the case.

Brown reaches 1000 points North Greene’s Lakeleigh Brown stands with the game ball after hitting the 1,000-point mark in her high school career during the Waverly Tournament last week. Brown needed 72 points to reach the 1,000 mark, which she managed to score during the tournament.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the number one killer of Americans in the last two to three years is heart disease.

Donita Schrey, Nurse Practitioner with the Prairie Heart Institute, presented a program at Boyd Hospital as part of their Lunch and Learn series, recently addressing the serious concerns with heart disease. She discussed the four leading causes of death with a focus on the number one cause — heart disease — and what can be done to prevent it. “Most of us do worry about getting sick and no one wants to get sick, but we do spend a lot of time worrying as we get older,� she said. “The problem is we worry, but we don’t always change our behavior. It’s easy to worry but its hard to change our habits. However, if we don’t tag the worry along with some sort of effort of change, it doesn’t help to worry. “Therefore, we need to put the worry into action somehow, whether it is chang-

ing our diet or exercising more. There has to be some sort of change.�

Schrey said that most people automatically think cancer is the number one cause of death. “Most people are shocked to hear that, in reality, heart disease in all its many forms, is the number one killer,� Schrey said. “More than 50,000 more people die each year from heart disease than they do from cancer.�

The top four killers in the United States are: Q Heart disease with 650,000 deaths per year.

Q Cancer with 599,000 deaths per year. The three most common types of cancer include breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer.

Q Accidental deaths with 170,000 deaths per year.

Q Chronic respiratory disease with 160,000 deaths per year. “To sort of put this in perspective, the population of Carrollton is around 2,500,� Schrey said. “Heart disease kills the entire population of 250 towns the size of Carrollton each year. That’s a staggering number.�

Statistics are even more staggering. “Someone in the U.S. has a heart attack every 40 seconds, which comes (See, LUNCH, A2)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remember one person is not busier than another

There’s one four-letter word I think everyone uses.

Well, there’s at least one four letter word everyone uses.

And we probably use it every day. It’s the word busy. Ask any person who has a job and somewhere in the middle of a normal conversation, he or she will mention how busy they are.

Even those who have retired will tell you they are busier now than when they were working a regular job.

With all of this busyness, it seems to get harder and harder for me to find the time to get in a tree stand for even a few hours.

In fact, I mentioned to one young man how it seems for me to really get into hunting; I have to leave for a few days, otherwise, my mind is roaming to all of the things I need to be, or should be, or ought to be, or, you get the idea.

It seems with all of my

daily responsibilities, to leave for only a half day, puts me too far behind to catch up by the end of the week (Whenever that is.) There is no doubt time neither stops nor slows down for anyone, no matter what excuse we have.

Right now, is a perfect example. In my area, the secondary rut is about to take place. This might be my favorite part of the hunting season. But by now, I have become so busy (there’s that word) I may have to miss crucial days being in the woods.

Now before you put down this article, let me quickly tell you what I hate about the busyness excuse.

It’s the same thing you hate and the reason you were close to burning this week’s edition of Outdoor Truths. We hate people who think they are so busy they should get a pass for not doing certain things.

Or another way to put it, we

hate people who think they are busier than everyone else.

We hate it because we know the truth, and it’s this: We all have 24 hours in each day. No more. No less. We all have families to care for, jobs to work at, and bills to pay.

I mean, you do know this, don’t you? Or are you the one who leans to heavily on the “busy” excuse? Please don’t be that person.

Please don’t use that excuse for not accomplishing some of the things you’ve dreamed about or doing some of things you know you should do.

And please don’t use it for a reason to neglect your spiritual life. Let me tell you why.

The people who accomplish more than we do are not afforded more time during each week. And neither are they afforded fewer responsibilities. They simply manage time instead of letting time manage them.

They live, for the most part, proactive and not reactive.

T h e y d o n ’t h a v e fewer interruptions than the rest of us. Instead they buffer them in.

The only way you will ever accomplish that one thing you want to do and that one thing you need to do, is if you begin by rejecting the busyness excuse.

TIF (Continued from A1) 2005 when it held that this it included any structure that was intended to benefit the community including shopping malls, hotels, condos and health clubs.

Nonneman, the at-large member of the Joint Review Board has been worried about eminent domain from the beginning because her house on Church Street is included in the proposed TIF, going as far as to request that her house be removed.

“When we purchased this home 26 years ago, it was not in a TIF district, and no one asked me this year if I wanted my home put in a TIF district,” Nonneman said. “I do not! I feel that inclusion in a TIF district puts my home and private property at risk.”

While there are no plans to take anyone’s property, Nonneman pointed to the fact that the TIF lasts for 23 years and other council members in the future might have other ideas.

“I certainly do not want my home to be redeveloped and after I found out that it was included in the TIF district, I worked hard to become more informed about the issue of eminent domain,” she said. “I read the entire published portion of the TIF plan so I could know what was in it and also read the entire 93 page Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Act in order to understand about the state law that governs TIFs.” Nonneman said she was deeply troubled about the issue of eminent domain.

“I was first told by my alderman, Tim Reif, that protection from eminent domain was included in the city’s TIF plan,” she said. “I read the plan and outlined every part of the document and I found out that protection from eminent domain was not part of the published plan.”

For her, the powers at the disposal of a municipality establishing a TIF district beyond a homeowners rights.

“It sounds to me like the TIF district

has more rights than the homeowner,” she said.

A 2006 Supreme Court ruling (Kelo v.

City of New London) allowed the transfer of private property because “It was part of a carefully considered development plan to benefit the public.”

“In regard to this case, commentators have argued that the Kelo decision rendered the government’s eminent domain powers almost limitless since property could be transferred from one private party to another under the general justification of ‘economic development,’” Nonneman said.

Nonneman said a suggestion was made to put a stipulation in the plan that private property would be protected from seizure by eminent domain “I have read drafts of three ordinances designed to put the TIF district in place, and there are no statements protecting private property from seizure in these proposed ordinances,” she said. “However, throughout the plan, there are numerous statements about the possibility of ‘amending the plan.’”

Nonneman is not alone in her concerns.

Jessie Bell lives at 414 North Main Street across the alley from Sol Mexican Restaurant and the post office. Looking at the plan for the area has given her some major concerns.

“I am looking at two papers – one for current land use and one for future land use,” Bell said. “Right now, my home is marked as residential because I live there, but on the paper marked ‘future land use’ my parcel has been designated as commercial/industrial/institutional.”

Bell said this is what scares her – that, and she knew nothing about the city’s plans until they were already made.

“I knew nothing about this until I received a certified letter in the mail that my home was in this TIF district,” Bell said. “The thought of losing my home

scares me. The only piece that I have of my history and my grandma’s history is now in this future marked as commercial/ industrial/institutional.”

Bell said she wants to see the community grow and could very easily see her home being taken for a parking lot.

“There is no doubt that there is a need for parking in this area,” she said. “The Mexican restaurant needs parking as does the post office and the hair salon next door, but I don’t want my only piece of family history taken to do that.”

Melissa Wade’s situation is a bit different.

She and her husband, Scott, along with their church, LIfepoint, own the building on the corner across from Kroger. They have been in the process of remodeling the building to be used for several different purposes – mostly to help the needy.

“We have replaced the roof and gutted the entire building and are trying to do things as we can,” she said. “We don’t’ want to take out a bunch of loans to do it, but we eventually want to have a ministry up on the Square – we want to be a force in this community and do more for the underprivileged.”

Wade’s biggest concern is their timeline doesn’t meet what the city wants.

“Here is my concern – is it not going to meet the standards that maybe the Carrollton Square Initiative or the city council is going to have, so therefore, they are going to take it by eminent domain if it doesn’t meet what they want,” she said.

“That is a concern for me, but other property owners should be concerned as well.

“What is going to happen if they want to take some of your farmland on the edge of town so they can move the TIF district boundaries? This city council might not want to do that, but what happens in 10 years or 15 years when the players change.”

gets for hunters.

However, not all hunters missed the rutting season. For bow hunters, the later firearm season has been of benefit.

“We’ve seen archery numbers up a little bit,” Torbert said. “Those guys had an extra week before firearm season.”

The archery totals have been rising the past few years, with some hunters pointing to new regulations, enacted during the 2017- 2018 season, permitting to the use of crossbows.

IDNR, she said, is still waiting for the conclusion of the deer season next deer to gather a better understanding of the harvest totals. While the late firearm season appears largely to blame for the decline in this year’s totals, there could be other factors.

“Once those numbers are in, we can get a better idea whether there were other factors contributing,” Torbert said.

The longer trends in harvest totals point to a growing deer population, one which has been recovering from the 2012 epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD). It is a viral disease carried by midge flies that causes hemorrhaging in deer.

“There was a substantial EHD die off in 2012,” Tim Krumwiede, IDNR wildlife biologist, has said.

“Populations did go down in West Central Illinois.”

Krumwiede said that this year’s population has still not completely recovered to its recorded numbers 15 years ago, but there are strong indicators that progress is being made.

The firearm season will conclude this weekend beginning on Dec. 5 and ending on Dec. 8. The muzzleloader season will take place from Dec. 13 to Dec. 15, and archery season will continue until Jan. 19, 2020 with breaks during the firearm season.

Rachel Torbert, spokeswoman for IDNR, said the decline in area totals for the first firearm season is most likely the result of a later season. The first firearm season is held the week before Thanksgiving, and this year, Thanksgiving fell later in the month on Nov. 28.

factors such as age, gender, family history and presence of other risk factors such as obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

(Continued from A1) out to 90 people per hour,” Schrey said. “Cardiologists are constantly seeking better ways to predict who is more susceptible to having a heart attack.”

“To sort of put this in perspective, the population of Carrollton is around 2,500. Heart disease kills the entire population of 250 towns the size of Carrollton each year. That’s a staggering number.”

Donita Schrey Nurse Practitioner with the Prairie Heart Institute There are certain uncontrollable risk factors that must be factored into the equation such as a family history of heart disease and advanced age. Statistics show that males are more susceptible to heart disease and certain races.

There are, however, a number of controllable, or partially controllable risk factors that can reduce one’s chance of getting heart disease.

These include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, being overweight, sedentary lifestyle, diet and uncontrollable stress or anger.

The best way to prevent heart disease is to stop smoking, watch the diet, become more active and get screened as a preventative measure.

“Screenings do save lives,” Schrey said. ‘Screenings help people understand their risk of developing chronic conditions before the symptoms are even present.”

Some of the more common screenings include: Q Cholesterol which includes a blood test and lipid panel.

Q Hypertension which checks one’s blood pressure.

Q Diabetes which is often ordered if blood pressure is elevated.

Q Colorectal cancer which includes a colonoscopy for anyone 50 years old or older.

Q Prostate cancer which includes a blood test for males over 75 years of age.

Q Abdominal aortic aneurysm for smokers over the age of 65.

Q Breast cancer which includes a mammogram for not only females but males as well.

Q Cervical cancer which includes a pap test.

Q Alzheimer’s disease in the form of a memory test.

“We don’t usually screen everyone for heart disease without some sort of concern or reason for doing so,” Schrey said. “The goal of screening is to detect disease at its earliest and most treatable stage.”

What screening tests are performed depend upon risk

There are many different screening tests such as the EKG, Echocardiogram, Cardiac MRI, Stress Test and the Coronary Calcium test The Coronary Calcium test is known as a heart scan, and it is a method for determining the risk of heart disease by measuring the calcium within the plaque in the coronary arteries.

“A high calcium score can mean an increased risk for heart attack,” Schrey said.

“Anyone who scores high on this test should really consider a prompt lifestyle change and/ or the addition of or change of medications.”

The test itself is simple and should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes and one can resume normal activities immediately after the test.

The lower the score the better.

“A score of zero means one is at a very low risk of having a heart attack in the near future,” Schrey said. “A score of 100 to 300 means one is at a moderate to relatively high risk of heart attack or other form of heart disease over the next three to five years and a score of over 300 means one is at a very high risk of having a heart attack.”

Because it is unlikely that calcium can be detected at younger ages, adults 40 years and older with no symptoms but risk factors present or anyone with a moderate risk of heart disease are urged to take the test.

This test is not covered by many insurance companies, though, so it will be an out of pocket expense for those who choose to take the test. The cost is relative low at between $100 to $400, which is less than many deductibles.

“Screening tests can be very motivational and they are meant to be used as tools to predict the likelihood of developing disease,” Schrey said. “They are used to detect disease at very early stages so there is a better chance for maintaining health and avoiding debilitating disease.”

Christmas (Continued from A1) “We will be packing boxes at the Methodist Church Hall the week of Dec. 16, so anyone who would like to help with that can contact me for more information,” Schnelten said. “Carrollton families can come to the church to pick up their boxes on Dec. 20 and Eldred families can pick theirs up at the Eldred Baptist Church.

Deliveries will also be made to the shut-ins on the 20th as well.”

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle: The cold and damp weather didn’t keep worshipers from attending our Morning Worship time. With Thanksgiving behind us, we are looking forward to celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.

You all are invited to join us Sunday morning, Dec. 15 at 10:30 a.m., as Walkerville Baptist Church presents “A Country Christmas” with First Calling and Servant’s Hearts as they share the Christmas story in word and song. A free will offering will be received. There will be a soup and sandwich luncheon after the concert. Our children will be singing on the morning of Dec. 15 in our Worship Service.

Thank you Tina and Amber for your special this morning.

Our text this morning was from Matthew.1:18-25. Joseph and Mary were engaged to be married. Like Christmas, an

engagement is supposed to be a wondrous time. But it was during this time that an angel appeared to Mary and told her that she would miraculously, as a virgin, conceive and give birth to the Son of God. What joyful news!

Yet, what an interruption in Mary and Joseph’s plans. How would she explain her pregnancy to Joseph? Would he believe her? This was not in their plans and yet, she accepted it. I invite you to read this wonderful story in Matthew 1:18-25. Next week our text will be from Matthew 2.1-15.

Our recent prayer requests are for the family of Albert Tarrant in his passing, Travis, Jouetl family, Randy, Ray and Patty, Harold, Greg, Jim, Terry, Margie, Pastor David.

We are now starting to collect an offering for the Lottie Moon Mission fund. This years’ national goal for the Lottie Moon Christmas offering is $165 million dollars. Southern Baptists gave more last year than any other denomination.

Special music: Sabrina Crabtree blessed us with her piano solos.

Message: Psalms 98 “Joy to the World” the song we sing at Christmas was actually written about the second coming and not the birth of Jesus. It was written by Isaac Watts, a Methodist minister. Humankind is curse.

Because they ate of the tree in the garden, we are all cursed. Everything around us have been affected by sin. Psalms 98 talks about the coming of Christ. God created everything by speaking it into existence.

Christ came into the world, lived a few short years and died on a cross for our sins. He arose after three days and if we accept him as savior we can live forever with him in heaven. The holidays are a time of great joy for some but for others it is often a time of stress. No matter how you feel, it’s a wonderful time because it represents the time of year that our Savior was born. We should all shout and sing praises to him.

State declares emergency for propane shortage

By KRIS SCHEFFEL Greene Prairie Press The state has made a regional emergency declaration regarding a shortage of propane due to delivery issues.

Residents are urged to prepare as the winter weather begins to move in.

The shortage, according to a news release from the Illinois Propane Gas Association, is a result of the restrictions placed on the transportation of propane and the limits on pipeline capacity.

“Illinois is one of seven states now under the disaster declaration,” the state news release said. “Demand is high and supplies are low due to delivery issues caused by early winter weather conditions.”

The Illinois Propane Gas Association stated that propane marketers are reporting sales over five times the amount this month as compared to last year. In part, the demand is driven by corn and grain dryers.

“To understand the demand from the corn and grain dryers, consider that your typical home that uses propane for space heating, water heating and cooking might use around four or five gallons every day,” the Illinois Propane Gas Association officials stated. “But some of these grain dryers are using nearly 18,000 gallons every day.

That volume of gas requires two tractortrailer loads of gas every day.”

John Sullivan, director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, made a similar statement in a state news release emphasiz-

ing the impact weather has had on propane usage.

“Farmers are struggling to dry high moisture grain caused by wet weather and delayed harvest,” Sullivan said. “2019 has already been a stressful growing and harvest season for the farmers.”

On Nov. 19, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) said it was exploring actions to “alleviate propane constraints in the midwest,” according to the release. Additionally, FERC accepted a proposal to allow the emergency transportation of propane for a thirty day period to the Midwest.

Residents are urged to plan ahead by both the state and the Illinois Propane Gas Association. Propane is used to heat many homes as well as provide fuel for gas stoves.

“Being unprepared for winter weather is not just inconvenient,” Alicia Tate-Nadeau, acting director for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency said in a press release.

In Illinois, there are more fatalities related to cold temperatures than heat, tornadoes and floods combined, according to the news release.

Everyone is encouraged to prepare for winter today by adding a winter survival kit for your car, changing your furnace filter at home and stocking your family’s emergency supply kit.

The Illinois Propane Gas Association urges residents to be in contact with their propane suppliers in advance to ensure that their propane needs can be met.

he season of Advent is upon us.

Advent is a season of hopeful watching and eager expectation, when Christians await the coming of their savior, Jesus Christ. Granted, most children are probably more excited about the coming of Santa Claus. And this is also the season when many of us go out shopping, spend too much money and go into such deep debt that it takes us most of the next year to pay it off. Perhaps we should return to the original and most profound meaning of Advent, which is preparing for the coming of God as man, who came to show us how to live more decently with our fellow humans. The mantra of advent is “Come, Lord Jesus.” Invite Jesus into your hearts and your homes this year as you prepare for Christmas. You can do this by taking some quiet time to pray and reflect on God’s love for us in sending his son. Even if you plan to go out amid the hustle and bustle, or to shop until you drop, this quiet time of prayer and reflection will help you stay balanced and grounded.

Illinois harvest running behind schedule

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois As the month of December arrived, many Illinois farmers were still working to harvest their corn and soybeans — the state’s two largest field crops — and agriculture officials are anticipating one of the smallest harvests in recent years.

As of Nov. 24, only about 88 percent of corn acres in Illinois had been harvested, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, down from 100 percent at the same time last year. Soybean harvesting was 95 percent complete, down from 99 percent a year ago.

That delay is the result of historic rainfall in the spring that drenched many parts of the state, preventing farmers from getting seeds into the ground in some cases until as late as June.

Officials at the Illinois Department of Agriculture say the final, official numbers for the 2019 growing season won’t be known until early January. But Rodney Weinzierl, executive director of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, said all indicators point to a below-average year.

“Our acres of corn this year was the lowest we’ve had probably since the late 1980s,” Weinzierl said in a phone interview. “Just because of that corn that was prevented from being planted, just because of such wet conditions.”

Weinzierl said Illinois farmers planted about 1.1 million fewer acres of corn this year, compared to a normal year, and there was also a big drop-off in soybean acres.

“So it’s just something that we’ve not experienced before,” he said.

In addition to fewer acres planted, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting that each acre will produce less this year than in the recent past – about 179 bushels per acre this year, down from 210 bushels in 2018, which was a record for Illinois.

Last year, Illinois harvested roughly 11 million acres of corn, according to USDA estimates. Those acres yielded about 2.7 billion bushels which, at an average price of $3.62 per bushel, generated $8.2 billion in farm income.

Soybean farmers harvested 10.5 million acres, producing nearly 667 million bushels. At $8.74 per bushel, that generated about $6.3 billion in income.

Most farmers who left acres unplanted this year had insurance coverage, but those policies only cover farmers for their input costs such as the seeds and fertilizers that went unused. They do not cover farmers for the loss of income or the cost of land for farmers who lease acreage from other landowners.

“So farmers that rent ground would still have an overall loss,” Weinzierl said. “But it’s like any other insurance, it’s meant to kind of allow you to be able to farm again next year.”

A spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Agriculture said final numbers for the 2019 growing season are due to be released Jan. 10. A separate report will be released in February detailing the state’s first year of legal hemp production.

Holidays are coming; so to are cranberries Cranberries are a common sight this time of year.

Americans consume nearly 400 million pounds of cranberries per year, and we consume about 20 percent of that during Thanksgiving week! Whether you eat them fresh, dried, as sauce or jellied or drink them, they are staples at many holiday meals. They can also be used in a variety of ways while decorating for the holidays.

American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is native to central and eastern Canada, as well as the northeastern and north-central United States (including Illinois). Native Americans used cranberries in a variety of ways, such as a dye for fabric, as medicine, as well as a food source. European settlers referred to the fruit as “crane berry,” due to the flowers resemblance to a sandhill crane. Somewhere along the line, the “e” was lost, and they became “cranberries.”

Contrary to popular belief, cranberries don’t grow in standing water or submerged in water. In the wild, they inhabit swamps and bogs. Like their blueberry cousins, they prefer acidic soils (pH of 4.0 – 5.5). Cranberries also need well-drained (sandy) soils that are high in organic matter and are consistently moist.

It is possible to grow cranberries in your garden; you’ll probably need

to do some significant soil amending to get the acidic, sandy conditions that cranberries like.

Cranberries are a lowgrowing woody shrub with small evergreen leaves that will reach about eight inches in height. While the plants may be short, their long sprawling horizontal stems, or runners (stolons), grow along the soil surface, rooting at intervals, and can reach six feet in length and form a dense mat.

Plants will produce whitish-pink flowers in late June and early July. While cranberries can self-pollinate, they rarely do because of the structure of the flower.

Instead, cranberries are usually pollinated by bees.

They will produce green berries that will turn white and eventually deep red when fully ripe. Depending on weather and the cultivar, it can take from 60 to 120 days for berries fully ripen (typically around 80 days).

Commercially grown cranberries are harvested from mid-September through mid-November in one of two ways. Some may be dry harvested for fresh markets. Mechanical pickers, which resemble lawnmowers, will rake the plants to remove berries.

These berries will then be deposited onto conveyer belts and into boxes or bags.

The berries will then be screened to remove debris and cleaned before being packaged for sale.

A majority of cranberries will be wet harvested.

These cranberries are typically destined for use as juice, sweetened dried cranberries, or added to other products. First fields will be flooded (likely why people believe cranberries grow in water) with six to eight inches of water. Then specialized tractors that have agitating, spinning rollers on them will remove the berries from the plants.

Following the removal of the berries, the bog will be further flooded to about two feet deep. The cranberries will float to the top and will be corralled to one side of the field and loaded onto a conveyer and then onto a truck. In addition to making it easier to harvest berries, flooding cranberry fields also protects the fields from freezing during winter and early spring.

Whether you like your cranberries as juice, sauce, or fresh, make sure to make this native fruit part of your holiday festivities.

Good Growing Fact of the Week: Wisconsin produces about sixty present of the cranberries grown in the United States. Massachusetts produces about one-quarter of the crop and most of the remaining being grown in Oregon, Washington, and New Jersey.

Wheeler trial set for January

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Barring any drastic changes during the month of December, it appears as if Ryan Wheeler of Carrollton will stand trial in January for his alleged involvement in the death of a sixmonth old child found buried in the backyard of his family home on Nov. 28, 2018.

Wheeler, 35, is charged with concealment of a homicidal death regarding the death of the child. This charge alleges that Wheeler helped the mother of the child, Jamia H. Ellis, 23, of Alton conceal the death of the child by wrapping the body in a sheet, placing it in a trash bag and burying it in a wooded area behind the home in Carrollton.

Ellis is on trial for first-degree murder of the child who died on Nov.

2 as a result of blunt force trauma.

The death was discovered after Ellis and her son were reported missing leading authorities to the home in Carrollton. She is also scheduled for a January jury trial.

Wheeler, who is being represented

by Attorney Norb Goetten, remains in Greene County Jail with a bond set at $500,000. This bond was reduced earlier this year from its original $750,000 amount.

Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe said Wheeler and his attorney were in court on Nov. 27 and again on Dec. 2 to perhaps come to an agreement without a trial. Wheeler is also scheduled to appear again in Greene County Circuit Court on Dec. 4 “There are so many different things going on with this case that we are just finding it hard to reach an

agreement,� Briscoe said. “His attorney (Goetten) is still trying to argue that he should go to rehab, but I am against that because he has been in jail and (hopefully) not using for the past year.�

Back in April, Goetten tried to get Wheeler’s case transferred to Veteran’s Court since Wheeler served a stint in the military.

Greene County does not have a Veteran’s Court so that request was denied.

Briscoe said there had even been talk of a modification of charges and pleading guilty to a lesser charge, but they are still not anywhere near an agreement.

Concealment of a homicidal death is a Class 3 felony punishable by a term of 2 to 5 years in prison followed by one year of mandatory supervised release or probation up to 30 months.

Capitol rotunda a focal point of religious debate over holiday decorations

By REBECCA ANZEL Capitol News Illinois Seasonal decorations are filling the Illinois Capitol rotunda — a holiday tree, nativity scene, satanic sculpture and Winter Solstice sign surround the ever-present “Illinois Welcoming the World� statue in the center of the space.

The display gained national attention in 2018 for the Satanic Temple of Chicago’s contribution of a sculpture of a woman’s left arm, with a snake coiled around it, holding an apple.

The statue is a metaphor representing the biblical story of Adam and Eve, according to two leaders of the Temple, who said the apple was to represent enlightenment.

These winter displays are installed for 30 days, and are protected by the U.S. Constitution’s freedom of speech guarantees, a sign posted near the tree states. “The State of Illinois is required by the first amendment of the United States Constitution to allow temporary, public displays in the state capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars,� it reads. “Because the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda is a public place, state officials cannot legally censor the content of speech or displays.�

This is the second holiday season the satanic sculpture is displayed in the rotunda. Its design “keeps with The Satanic Temple’s values of advocating knowledge and rationality over superstition, ignorance, and dogma,� according to a press release.

Lex Manticore and Lux Armiger, the Temple’s Chicago chapter heads, said they were surprised by

the backlash the installation, called “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift,� received last year. “I don’t think people object to the substance of our message — the objection is to the messenger,� Armiger added. “The people that object to the sculpture are part of that supremacist belief. Certain people perhaps believe that their religious perspective should be the only one that’s recognized.�

For the 11th straight year, a Winter Solstice sign, installed by Kathryn Koldehoff of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, will also have a spot in the Capitol Rotunda. It is meant to make “freethought’s presence felt in the land of Lincoln,� according to a press release. “At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell,� the sign reads. “There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.�

Winter Solstice, the shortest and darkest day each year, is on Dec. 21. The display represents “the real reason for the season,� Foundation Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor said in a press release.

The group, which describes itself as “the largest national association of freethinkers,� has installations across the country. It began displaying its sign in Illinois’ Statehouse due to requests from members, a spokesperson said. He added he does “not believe we have any controversy� linked to its presence.

Dave Druker, a secretary of state spokesperson, said the “holiday tree� on display is owned by the state.

He does not know whether the state

purchased it or whether it was donated because, he said, it “predates�

Secretary of State Jesse White’s administration.

The nativity scene was installed

by Julie Zanoza of the Springfield Nativity Scene Committee, Druker said. She did not return a request for comment.

While a Chanukah menorah was present in past years, Druker said he is unaware of an application to place one in the Statehouse this year.

Rep. Sarah Feigenholtz, a Democrat from Chicago and a member of the Jewish Caucus, said she has made an inquiry with the secretary of state’s office about when a menorah will be installed. “Of course it should be there.

Wherever there’s celebration, there should be diversity,� she said.

About 10 years ago, a Festivus pole was included in the Statehouse’s holiday display in recognition of a satirical holiday popularized by the sitcom “Seinfeld.� Druker said he heard a group may want to bring it back this year but does not know definitively whether it will happen.

Groups interested in adding to the installation need to apply with the Physical Services Office, and only three have done so thus far, Druker said.

Manticore and Armiger, from the Satanic Temple, said while the application “is not burdensome,� the process is an “opaque� one because it is “not advertised� on the secretary of state’s website.

They added the Temple was required to carry insurance for its display, in case it falls over and causes damage to the Statehouse.
