Carrollton School Board honors students

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Carrollton School Board honored members of the state-ranked Carrollton Hawk football team for their second place finish at state at the Dec. 15 school board meeting along with the students who were named Illinois State Scholars.

The senior members of the team were given certificates and Superintendent Dr. Kerry Cox thanked them for the memorable year.

“I’m very proud of our team, our players, our coaches, our cheerleaders, our fans, and our staff and community,” she said. “It is just a wonderful experience and I’m glad you let me be a part of that experience.”

Senior members who received certificates include: Austin Bowman, Will Davis, Logan Gardner, Trenton Harrelson, Chad Isringhausen, Noah Newman, Nick Schmidt, Jacob Smith, Eric Steinacher, Scott Hewlett, Cody Leonard, Marcus Lippert, Derek

McGowan and Luke Palan.

Also honored were the seniors who were named Illinois State Scholars. They are: Ben Baumgartner, Ashley Fessler, Jessica Lake, Brittney Lehr, Cara Reynolds, McKenzie Ruyle, Jacob Smith, Madison Struble, Michaela Weber and Rachel Williams.

Illinois State Scholars are chosen by the State of Illinois by looking at the student’s ACT scores and their class rank.

Approximately 10 percent of all seniors are selected to receive the honor.

“I’ve only known these individuals for about a year-and-a-half but I feel like I have known them for a long time,” Dr. Cox said. “I feel like I have gotten to know them well and just watching all of their accomplishments has been an honor.”

Dr. Cox announced that the tuition waiver the district had applied for regarding full-time employees who live outside the district who want their child to go to Carrollton schools was approved by the General Assembly this fall.

She also announced that Dec. 15 was the first day to file nominating petitions for next spring’s board of education with the last day for filing being Dec. 22. There are five seats

“i’ve only known these individuals for about a yearand-a-half but i feel like i have known them for a long time .”

Dr. Kerry Cox Superintendent open for the spring election.

The district’s partnership with Lewis and Clark Community College continues to grow.

The board unanimously approved to allow an off-campus course for second semester at

LCCC. “Based on our enrollment numbers and our discussion, it is recommended to go ahead and offer the class for the second semester,” Dr. Cox said. “We had 10 students signed up so I think it is good we are able to give the kids the opportunity to do this.”

The board approved the purchase of three time clocks and software for the district which will link into the Skyward school management system at a start up cost of a little over $1,600 which includes the purchase of three Legacy time clocks with both keypad and biometric controls. One each would be located at the high school, grade school and bus garage.

Annual licensing fee for the software is $1,500 year afterward.

“The reason this initial expense is so great is that we have had these modules since we got the Skyward system four years ago, but we didn’t use the modules so we didn’t pay for the licensing fee,” Dr. Cox said. “It is (See, school board, A2)

Zoey Lakin, 7, of Carrollton tells Santa Claus what she wants to get for Christmas this year . Zoey went to see Santa at the Carrollton Chamber of Commerce’s Santa Breakfast which was held Saturday morning at goetten’s Oasis in Carrollton .

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press It is the one plan that every school district hopes they never have to implement, but Greenfield found itself implementing its Crisis Management Plan after a district school bus was involved in a traffic accident on Wednesday morning, Dec. 11.

Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said the accident occurred at approximately 7:20 a.m. when the bus, driven by Cheri Vinyard, slowed to make a turn onto a county road and was rear-ended by the vehicle behind it. The car burst into flames and damaged the bus, but neither the driver nor any of the students were injured in the crash.

“The District Crisis Management Plans were followed and parents were notified and a School Reach call was made so parents would be aware of what happened,” Bowman said. “Our bus driver followed our safety protocols and did everything she was supposed to

do. It was a scary thing and we are very thankful that no one got hurt.”

Bowman said it was important to get the School Reach message out as soon as possible due to the traffic going by the scene.

“We have quite a few people travel that road so we had a lot of concerned citizens and teacher who stopped by to help, as well,” Bowman said. “We just wanted to make sure the parents were alerted to the incident before they heard it somewhere else first.”

While the school bus itself did not actually catch fire, the car wedged under the back end did catch fire and burned up causing extensive damage to the rear end of the bus.

“The bus sustained some smoke damage on the back and it did melt the back lights,” Bowman said. “There is no doubt there is going to be some body work that needs to be done on it, but as far as bending the frame or anything like that – I don’t think it did.”

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press North Greene is taking advantage of mobile technology after rolling out its own “app” at the end of last year. Need to know what time the basketball game starts?

Yep, you guessed it – there’s an app for that.

The app, which is appropriately titled “North Greene Unit District #3, is free and can be downloaded on Google Play or at the Apple app store.

The application was created by Parlant Technology, Inc., and is powered by ParentLink, which is well known for its all-in-one communications systems for school districts.

The app contains school district news, including a sports section providing statistics of the game

along with photos, game times, etc., calendar of upcoming events, notifications. The app is linked to the North Greene School District website, making navigation to that website easier for more detailed information.

But, according to North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens, the main reason the district decided to provide the app was because of the “tip line” associated with it. This tip line has various categories such as bullying, drugs/alcohol, fighting, personal crisis, safety risk, vandalism, weapon and personal crisis.

“The main reason I wanted the district to have this app was for the students to have a way of reporting bullying,” Stevens said. “This tip line is very important for bullying that all schools are seeming to experience more since the advent of social media.”

However, not one tip has come into the district regarding bully-

“The main reason i wanted the district to have this app was for the students to have a way of reporting bullying .”

Les Stevens North Greene Superintendent ing, despite attempts to educate the students it is there for them if they need it.

“That is something we worked on at the beginning of the year,” High School Principal Keppen Clanton

said. “We spent three weeks on it with the junior high and high school kids and the kids are aware of the app. They know they have access to the resource but so far no one has taken advantage of it.”

Stevens said the bullying message goes directly to the principals and they are anonymous.

“Some of the other things go straight to me, but we have got it set up so that the notices go to the people that need to know firsthand,” he said. “The tip line will ask one to specify whether the incident happened at the high school or grade school and there is a drop down menu to choose from.”

But the app is not just for the students.

“A lot of people don’t really know about the app because it really hasn’t been promoted as well as it could have been,” Clanton

admitted. “Each week I do a weekly School Reach call to the parents to give them information about upcoming events for the week and I always tell them to check out the website for more information or, better yet, go to the North Greene Spartan app.”

That’s not to say that the app replaces the school’s messenger system or its website as a way of getting information out to the public. Instead it supplements it, giving the district another way to get news and information out to today’s mobile society.

“We just think this is another way for us to communicate with our stakeholders which is a little more convenient than maybe getting on their laptop or even their tablet,” Stevens said. “We think parents are going to like it because it is completely mobile.”

Four teens injured in rollover crash

By CArmeN eNSiNger Greene Prairie Press Four teenagers from Roodhouse and Winchester were injured in a one-vehicle accident on Friday night, Dec. 12.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Department responded to the one-vehicle accident that occurred on County Road 1450 East, approximately threefourths of a mile south of County Road 2475 North.

“The investigation revealed that a 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by a 17-year-old female resident of Roodhouse, was traveling northbound on County Road 1450 East when the driver lost control of the vehicle,” Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen said. “The vehicle struck the ditch which caused it to overturn, ejecting one of the passengers.”

In addition to the driver, the vehicle was occupied by three passengers. Because of their

age, their names are not being released.

They included a 15-year-old male and 16-yearold male from Winchester and a 16-year-old female from Roodhouse.

The 15-year-old male passenger was ejected from the vehicle during the crash. He was transported by Greene County Ambulance Service to a location where the patient was air-lifted to a hospital to be treated for serious injuries.

The driver of the vehicle was transported to Passavant Area Hospital by the MurrayvilleWoodson Ambulance. Her injuries were listed as serious, but not life-threatening.

The other two passengers were transported from the scene by their parents to seek medical treatment for non life-threatening injuries.

The driver was cited for Driving Too Fast For Conditions and for Reckless Conduct.

County approves purchase of new truck 4-H Foundation out of Champaign to purchase the supplies for this club,” County Extension Director Aaron Dufelmeier told the Greene County Board during his monthly report on Dec. 10. “We have already received the boxes of Lego supplies needed to build these robots, and so the kids are going to learn how to build and operate these robots.”

Dufelmeier said any student between the ages of 8 and 18 are welcome to join the club which will be forming soon.

“I think this is going to be a very neat and very popular club,” he said. “They will be able to take the robot they build and compete with it in the state competition.”

The 4-H program continues to be strong in Greene County with the December Gingerbread Workshop drawing in 50 participants to the Greene County Extension Office.

“What I found most interesting was that most of those who participated were not 4-H members,” Dufelmeier said. “I think that was good from the standpoint of drawing in other youth and parents from the community.”

“It was a pretty hard hit, especially to those in the back,” Bowman said. “We are just glad that the bus didn’t turn over or anything like that and we were able to get all our kids off and away to safety. For that we are very fortunate and very relieved.”

According to the report by the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, the bus was slowing down to make a turn when a 2000 Jeep, driven by Pamela J. Smith,

46, of Carlinville crashed into the back of the bus. The impact caused the Jeep to burst into flames.

Smith was cited for Following Too Closely and Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident.

Vinyard was not cited in the accident.

“They cleared our bus driver of anything,” Bowman said. “It was a very scary situation and she did a great job in following protocol and ensuring the safety of her passengers. Our bus drivers have a lot of responsibility and incidents like this put that right into perspective.”

Crash

(Continued from A1) “The Reckless Conduct citation was a result of the driver allowing too many passengers in her vehicle than what she could safely transport,” McMillen said. “The investigation is still ongoing with possibly more citations to be issued.”

The truck was owned by Mike and Selina Krueger of Winchester and was a total loss.

would go to the general fund. The other car, a Chrysler Sebring, is a seized vehicle which has been used by the probation department. Because the Chrysler was seized in a drug-related incident, the money from its sale would go into the Drug Fund. There will be a $500 minimum bid on each vehicle.

The board approved the lease of the 250 acre county farm to Progressive Farms of Greenfield who submitted a bid of $326 per acre. The 74 acres of pasture land was leased to Dave Grueter at $4 per acre. The lease is for three years and subject to payment by those submitting the bids.

At the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the board approved the sale of several delinquent tax properties throughout the county. These included six properties in White Hall Township and three in Roodhouse in the amount of $7,185.50.

The 2015 budget and tax levy were approved and will hang for 15 days in the courthouse for inspection.

Finance Chairman Mike McNear reported a deficit of $19,763 in the general fund.

“As it (budget) sits right now, we are pretty close,” McNear said.“Overall, there are some people who definitely wanted more, but the money just wasn’t there for them.”

By CARMEn EnSInGER Greene Prairie Press At the request of the Road and Bridge Committee the Greene County Board approved the purchase of a new diesel pickup truck for the highway department at its Dec. 10 meeting.

The board unanimously approved the purchase of a new one ton diesel pickup truck from Morrow Bros. Ford in Greenfield as part of the Joint Purchase Option with the state at a cost of $32,245.

Greene County Highway Department Supervisor David Marth said the department was really in need of a new vehicle.

“We have two in our fleet which are basically just derelict vehicles,” Marth told the board. “The 1999 truck is inoperable and the 1996 one is really close behind. Rather than trade them in on the new truck, we would like to put them out for bid.”

Permission was granted to sell the two vehicles through the bidding process.

She was born Ruby Leona Abbott in a log cabin in a wooded area far west of Kane and north of Fieldon to Howard and Dora (Edwards) Abbott on Oct. 28, 1923. She was the eighth of the 10 children that reached adulthood in that family. She was the last of her generation to survive.

She was a war-bride married to Urban Francis Postlewait on May 6, 1942 after following him to his army post at Port Townsend, Wash. Their union produced four sons: Urban Paul, Dennis Moore, Keevan Patrick (who died shortly after birth), and Kim Bernard Postlewait.

She always had a broad grin when recounting her schoolgirl exploits as a state marble shooting champion. With the help and support of her older sisters, she was the only one of their large family to graduate from high school.

Her proudest moments include her role in breaking the gender barrier in Greene County politics. She was the first woman to serve on the County Board of Supervisors. Respecting her honesty and integrity, voters in Kane Township returned her to office for a combined 52 years of service. Her work on Jersey County history and for the Historical Societies of both Jersey and Greene counties is widely respected.

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Carrollton Ag teacher selected to participate in XLR8 Institute

Committee named for history book project

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Carrollton ag teacher Christie Joehl with the display that helped the Carrollton School District receive a $25,000 grant from the Monsanto Company earlier this year. Joehl keeps busy both at school and home as she works to expand and build the ag program at Carrollton along with raising three young boys at home. Joehl was one of only 20 people selected to participate in the National Association of Agricultural educators in November.

of my three rings.”

She plans to utilize what she learned in her work life.

“I am going to utilize my FFA officers more to plan chapter activities and events,” Joehl said. “As an ag teacher and FFA advisor, I try to do so many events and do them all well, but if I don’t delegate, something will suffer – either my classroom or FFA. By putting more responsibility onto my students I will enable them the opportunity to truly step up and be a leader within our organization.”

Joehl has been an ag teacher for eight years and came to Carrollton from Calhoun High School. She said as most any teacher can relate to, she has experienced burnout in her profession.

“It’s really tough trying to create new lessons that are up to the new and ever-changing standards mandated by the State, all the while dealing with classroom behavior issues, lack of resources and money for materials needed to do those engaging activities and the constant pressure to be ‘on duty’ at all times with minimal planning time during the school day,” she said. “Teachers have it tough and not just the ag teachers, but especially teachers who are also sponsoring/coaching or advisor to a club or team outside the school day.”

When teacher Joehl walks out the door at the end of the day, she

enters the role of wife and mother at home where luckily she has a very supportive husband.

“My husband, Regan, is very supportive of my career and our role as parents,” she said. “We love our boys to the moon and back and each day try to give each child time he deserves of us.”

This means keeping home life and work separate.

“We have been trying to keep our work off until after the kids go to bed so that we can be more involved in the ‘here and now’ and not miss out on their childhood,” Joehl said.

“As all parents know, kids grow up too fast. At my final FFA banquet as Calhoun FFA Advisor, my husband spoke to the audience about how when I say ‘my kids,’ that he has to ask for clarification – our three boys or my students?”

In a way, her students at school are her children.

“I sincerely treasure each of the students that I am entrusted with for the duration of their short time in high school,” she said. “I try to give my students every opportunity I can to develop each of them into responsible, productive citizens and leaders who have a servant’s heart to give back. I take my job as their instructor and advisor seriously, and I honestly love seeing them succeed after their time within these walls of high school.”

The committee for the Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society history book project has been chosen. This committee consists of Margaret Camerer, Kae Coates, Dennis Drake, Marge Hopkins, Karl Kruckeberg, Terry Kruckeberg, Mary Frances Tunison, Carol Witt, Gary Witt and Mary Varble.

The committee chairman, Terry Kruckeberg, will be the contact person for the committee. She can be reached at the Society office from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays by phone at 217-942-6013 or by email at greenecohistsoc@ irtc.net. She can also be reached by phone at her residence at 217-374-2464 or by email at kruck4@hotmail.com. If there is no answer to the phone call, leave a message and phone number and your call will be returned.

The committee members are selecting a color for the book cover and hunter green appears to be the popular choice. The logo that has been chosen is the Lee-Baker-Hodges House.

Anyone wanting to deliver family histories and photographs may do so at the Lee-BakerHodges House on the Carrollton Square, 532 North Main St. on Wednesdays and Fridays. Materials may also be mailed to the Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 311, Carrollton, Ill. 62016.

Residents are urged to watch their mail early to mid January for the brochure about the book.

And the winner is…

Santa Clause had the pleasure of drawing the winners of the Greenfield Public Library raffle Saturday morning during the Stocking Raffle and Bake Sale. Numerous baskets were donated to help raise money for the library. Santa refused to reveal his real identity but said folks who know him pretty well just call him “Kris.”

By CARMeN eNSINGeR Greene Prairie Press Carrollton agricultural educator Christie Joehl received national recognition to participate in the XLR8 Institute for agricultural educators.

Only 20 educators from across the country were selected to participate by the National Association of Agricultural Educators. The event took place at the NAAE annual convention in Nashville, Tenn. Nov. 18-22.

The NAAE created this program to help ag teachers who have been in the classroom between seven and 15 years to address common issues that lead to them leaving the profession, such as burnout, work/life balance and stagnant professional growth.

As a wife and mother of three young boys in addition to being the FFA sponsor, Joehl was pretty much a poster child for the institute.

“This program is a yearlong professional development program geared toward the intermediate agriculture teacher who is beginning to face challenges of juggling home, school and work life,” Joehl said.

“So far I have learned how to best balance home and work to be a more effective teacher, mother and wife.”

The program continues through next year meeting through webinars and blogging with other teachers, with teachers sharing their experiences and learning how to delegate work to other people who may be able to help.

Joehl said the best thing she took away from the program was learning how to juggle the circus her life has become as a wife and mother of three young boys (ages 5, 4 and 2 with another on the way).

“We read the book ‘Juggling Elephants’ and came to grips with how each of us was trying to be everything to everyone all the time,” she said. “It’s not possible nor effective. Each person’s life is like a three-ring circus – we have a work ring, self ring and relationship ring.

Just like a ringmaster in a circus, we cannot be in more than one ring at a time. “ One should be totally committed to whichever ring they are in at the moment.

“When I’m home I need to be home and not bring work with me,” Joehl said. “When I’m at work, be there 100 percent and delegate as much as possible. I learned that my time is valuable and taking on too much and never saying ‘No’ is making work and life stressful – so much that not much gets done in any

Wedding

Anniversary

By MARY LOVE HAMMON

My day - exercise and prayer, bath, white trousers, violet blouse.

Brushed my hair in Dusty’s room with Cameo hairbrush.

On his dresser top are good memories. An amber vase with football mums and pussy willow from 8-year-old Clifton. Crystal candelabra from my parents. This was used when Loyal Range and Gary Range presented Wm. Dale Hammon his 50-year pin. There’s a crystal bowl that Betty Roth gave to me when I played Christmas Carols at the Catholic Ladies’ Christmas Party. I was a guest of Linda Pohlman.

This a.m. I played “Bless This House.” Clifton telephoned me that he and Shirley were safe at Jer’s and Brooke’s house. We all sang “Over The River And Thro’ The Woods”.

For Greenfield friends, I mailed handmade Christmas stockings to hang on the tree or wherever.

Amelia Burger had Thanksgiving dinner (provided by White Hall church) with me. She looked at some of my Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post Paintings. She read aloud Upper Room and Psalms.

Bless the Lord O My Soul and all that is within me. Bless His Holy Name! Macy’s Parade lasted for hours. Called Vickie and Mel. Just now I was able to get in touch with my nephew and wife Richard and Jan Robinson in Fountain Colo.

Her son, Joshua lives in a house one and half blocks from them.

Joshua Hollis is supervisor of a company named Brickman’s. It is a landscaping and snow plowing. He was with the company for six years when he lived in Pennsylvania. He is also in charge of Evergreen Cemetery, which recently closed for the winter.

He has a son - my great great nephew named Justin Evan Hollis his mother is an attorney.

Get well wishes to Bev McCollom Still. Lilas McCollom Lohr has returned to her Indiana Home. She will come to be with family members for the Christmas season.

O Holy Night, the stars are shining. It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!

Saturday p.m. I was taken by TV to the Mile High Stadium of Denver, Colo. The Rocky Mountains in the background were as beautiful as the last time we saw them. This was a re-run of a Billy Graham Crusade.

His message was loud and clear.

I am going to relate to you one of his experience. When Dwight Eisenhower was campaigning for President of the United States, Graham and he met for coffee. When Rev. Graham asked him if he was a born again Christian, he said, “Yes”, but would join a church after elected.” When asked which one he said, “Presbyterian, my wife Mamie is Presbyterian.” Do you know any good ones in Washington D.C.? After being elected President of the United Stated (Republican) the dear man was publicly baptized and joined a Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. What A Friend We Have In Jesus - a favorite hymn of my son, Clifton Hammon and Shirley.

The second of December Clifton Dale and Shirley Hammon quietly celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary.

They were married at the Presbyterian Church in White Hall by Rev. Al Noakes (d). Carole Kinser Griswold and Jeremy Crumley gave his mother, Shirley Cole away; Annie Cole was Matron of Honor, Clifton’s father Dale was Best Man. Miss Annie and I lighted candles at the altar uniting our two families. Jim Scott and John Griffin were ushers.

All of Clifton’s Greenfield neighbors were present. Shirley’s brothers and sisters.

Ruth Anne Brooks Gilbert and her mother baked the cakes and used an heirloom cloth.

Dale had decorated the room and mantle with white wedding bells, candelabra used at Love Grandparent’s 50th and Dale’s 50th Masonic.

Joe Lakin, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Roodhouse, Stanley and Irene Maupin, Deak and Virginia Guis and Nancy Mansfield were special guests.

by Sis. Mary. Birthday: David Hallock. We were led in singing Christmas songs by Bro. Brad, accompanied by Sis. Donna.

Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Sis. Cindy as leader.

Message by Bro. Baxter - Matthew 2: 10-23. The wise men searched diligently for the young child as ordered by King Herod. The star, which they saw in the East, led them to where the young child was with his mother. They fell down and worshipped him. They gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country by a different way. An angel told Joseph to take his family to Egypt for Herod will seek to kill the child.

They arose and left by night and were to stay there until Herod died. Herod was very angry and ordered all children from the

age of two down that lived in Bethlehem killed, and all the coasts around. Then there was lamentation and weeping and great mourning by Rachael for her children. When Herod died an angel of the Lord told Joseph to take his family into Israel.

When Joseph heard that Herod’s son Archelaus reigned, he was afraid and turned aside to parts of Galilee. He came and dwelled in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophets. He shall be called a Nazarene.

Tonight was the holiday meal at 5 p.m. There was a good attendance, good food and good fellowship. Afterward we practiced the play for next Sunday.

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

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagel: Luke 3: 10 - Then the angel of the Lord said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”

Rain this Monday morning, so it will rain three days this week.

Or so the old-timers say. Friday will be the fairest or foulest.

Illinois weather, you can’t beat it for changes.

Our prayer list is Stacy Phillips (still is a lot of pain), hang in there Stacy there’s a better day ahead. All of Larry Phillips family, Ray and Patty Baldes, the Garner family, Claudia Seely, Ed Caskey, Sanders family, Brenda Sexton family, Melanie Mast, Andy Ross and Grace Ross, the Harp family, all our church family and our country. Pray for the boys and girls in the service away from home. It’s so hard at Christmas to be away from home.

We had one birthday: Lindsey Lawson. Happy Birthday Lindsey and many more.

The question was “What does a fool despise?” Wisdom - Prov.

1: 7. “What seven things does God hate”? Prov. 6: 16 - a proud look, lying tongue, murder, wicked imagination, people that love

trouble, false witness, troublemakers. Our question for the next two weeks, since the Christmas Program is this week, is “What does the Earth hang on”? Job 26: 7. “What shape is the world” Isaiah 40: 22. If you have a smart phone let me know what it says about television.

Every morning when you wake up, say to God, “I will never be as young as I am today.” “Today is the youngest day of the rest of my life. I will get up do something for you, God.” I listen, I love and I live. God knows what my body wants so do I and he will help me do it. Greatest thing you will ever have are friends.

True friends are hard to find. Be a friend to someone today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Walkerville Church invites you to come and worship the one the angel was proclaiming “Christ the Lord”. Our program will be Sunday the 21st at 10:30 a.m. come and enjoy the Christian fellowship. There will be a treat for everyone and a gift for all the children. Jesus loves you and so do we. See you in church Sunday.

The Greatest Is Love “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”

1 John 4:12

W

hether we consider love to be a commandment or a spiritual gift, it is clear that it is to be given priority over everything else.

When Jesus is asked what the greatest commandment is, he says to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22: 37-39) Although Paul speaks of love as a spiritual gift rather than as a commandment, it is clear that he also gives priority to love: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the

greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13: 13) It is really quite simple. Our overriding duty is to love: to love God and our fellow man. This is, however, sometimes very difficult, as people are not always lovable, and we don’t always know quite how to love God, but that is first and foremost what we are called to do. All the great men and women of history have been great lovers, people whose capacity to love was seemingly endless. So love always and everywhere and banish fear and hatred, those two great enemies of love, from your life.

Tree-ific holiday treats For many adults, the holidays are transformed by the chance to experience the wonders of the season through the eyes of children. There's no better way to elicit a merry twinkle all around than by creating festive holiday treats together in the kitchen.

Getting kids involved in holiday baking and decorating is a perfect opportunity to let their imaginations run wild, and colorful frosting and candies are a great way to brighten up holiday treats. An option such as Jelly Belly jelly beans lets you choose from an array of flavors and colors, including the shimmering Jelly Belly Jewel Collection that can add sparkle to your baking.

In this easy dessert, perfect as a centerpiece the kids can proudly display at a holiday gathering, the season is even sweeter when jelly beans stand in for ornaments adorning a cupcake tree.

Palan joins Carrollton’s 1,000-point club

By DAN BRANNAN Greene Prairie Press Luke Palan is now the first on the 2014-2015 Carrollton Hawks boys basketball team in the 1,000-point club.

He hit the 1,000-point plateau on Friday night against North Mac at Carrollton, making two free throws with 14.5 seconds left in the second quarter.

Palan leads a list of four players who will close in 1,000 points for Carrollton’s boys this year. Cody Leonard needed only 363 to start the season; Jacob Smith was 421 points shy and Luke Gillingham needed 495 points.

Since Coach Jeff Krumwiede arrived on the scene the 1,000point scorers have been Blake Cunningham, Ben Goetten, Shannen Holmes, Jason Dunn, Mark Gillingham, Koty Garber, Jordan Brannan, Chas Walker, Josh Krumwiede and Joey Coonrod.

“I am very happy for Luke,” Jeff Krumwiede said on him achieving 1,000 points. “He is not someone who dwells on individual accomplishments, but this is something he should be proud of. He has played

for four years. He was our sixth man and a freshman.”

Palan was an exceptional running back on the Carrollton Hawks football team that finished runner-up in the state football playoffs. He was an all-purpose back on both offense and defense, rushing for more than 1,000 yards.

“Luke is always trying to improve his game and improve the little things,” Krumwiede said. “He is also someone who makes everyone around him better. He leads by example. I have really enjoyed being around him the last four years and he has the type of personality that spreads a positive feeling. He has always done everything I have asked him to do.”

The Carrollton coach said he thinks Palan playing on the 20112012 team left a positive mark on him on what leadership is supposed to be and he has followed in their footsteps.

“As a senior I expect a lot more leadership and he and Jacob Smith both do a good job leading by example. I couldn’t ask for two better ones. Jacob and Luke are co-captains right now.”

Krumwiede is in hopes the other

three players achieve 1,000 points this year.

“If Jacob Smith, Cody Leonard and Luke Gillingham match their averages from last year they will be on track for 1,000 points late in this season, as well,” Krumwiede said. “I hope Luke is just the first of at least two or three this season.”

Palan has to be one of the best athletes Carrollton has ever produced. He was not only a star of the football and basketball teams, but he plays baseball in the spring.

“He is a great example that you can succeed in three sports,” Krumwiede said. “Each team is better because he was there. I have always been proud of he three-sport athletes and I have tried to do everything I can to prevent specialization of players and encourage all the basketball players to take part in a fall sport. Our other coaches have done the same thing.”

Junior Cole Brannan may be the next Hawks’ player that could have a chance at 1,000 points as a senior.

“If you look on down the line, there is a pretty good chance all five who are starting this year could become 1,000-point scorers,” Krumwiede said.

Luke Palan hit the 1,000-point mark in the second quarter of a game against North Mac.

Palan proves to be one of the best

By JOHN HOUGH Greene Prairie Press If you thought Luke Palan could carry a pigskin, he can also hoop.

He notched the 1,000th point of his high school basketball career at home as the Carrollton Hawks defeated the North Mac Panthers 70-43 Friday night, improving to 3-1. The moment for Palan came with 14.5 seconds to go in the second quarter when he knocked down 2 free throws for his 999th and 1,000th points, which was followed by thunderous applause from the Carrollton faithful. The game was briefly interrupted as teammates and Hawks head coach Jeff Krumwiede congratulated him.

“He joins an exclusive club and it’s all credit to him,” Krumwiede said. “He’s been running the show here for the last three years and doing a fantastic job.”

Lauren Flowers won the NFL Play 60 Punt, Pass and Kick Championship contest at a St. Louis Rams game.

Lauren Flowers captures NFL PPK championship

By DAN BRANNAN Greene Prairie Press Lauren Flowers, daughter of Carrollton High School football coach Nick Flowers and wife, Stosha, captured the NFL Play 60 Punt, Pass and Kick Championship Contest held recently at a St. Louis Rams game.

Flowers was first place for the 7-year-old age group. Her numbers will be placed with other numbers from 32 NFL Championship series games and the top four girls will participate in the NFC/AFC championship games or the Super Bowl.

Ella Stumpf, daughter of Andy Stumpf and Cathy Stumpf, also participated in the NFC Punt,

Pass and Kick competition at St. Louis. The two girls from Carrollton won the Punt, Pass and Kick regional and sectional, then advanced to the championship in St. Louis.

“Lauren’s throwing has been very accurate,” Nick Flowers said. “It is so tricky in this contest. You warm up and you get one try of each. She has been really consistent on all three.”

Lauren Flowers wants to be junior varsity football water girl next season. Her dad said he doubts if she will try out for the high school football team in high school.

“She said she wants to be a volleyball and basketball player and cheerleader,” Nick Flowers said.

Schedule set for Carrollton Holiday Tourney The Carrollton Holiday Tournament is set to begin the day after Christmas.

The tournament field includes Calhoun, Griggsville/ Perry, Beardstown and Brussels, in addition to the hosting Hawks.

Action begins Dec. 26 at 2 p.m. with No. 5 Brussels facing No. 3 Griggsville/Perry, followed by No. 2 Carrollton facing No. 4 Beardstown at 3:35 p.m. Later that evening No. 1 Calhoun will take on Griggsville/Perry at 6 p.m.

Beardstown and Brussels will tip off at 7:35 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 27 Brussels faces Carrollton at 6 p.m. and Calhoun will play against Beardstown at 7:35 p.m.

Monday, Dec. 29 Griggsville will face Carrollton at 6 p.m., with Calhoun and Brussels facing off in the night cap at 7:35 p.m.

The final day of the round robin tournament, Dec. 30, will see Beardstown against Griggsville/Perry at 6 p.m. and Carrollton versus Calhoun at 7:35 p.m.

Palan finished with 20 points, all of which came in the first half.

Cody Leonard was the game’s leading scorer with 21 points and Luke Gillingham added 17, all but 2 coming in the first half. As a team the Hawks made 14 of their 18 free throws.

Palan ran the show splendidly once again for the Hawks as they started the game by going on a 21-7 run. He and Gillingham were the driving forces.

Carrollton outscored North Mac 32-12 in the first quarter with Palan and Gillingham scoring 28 of those 32 points and each hitting 2 3-pointers. Palan had a streak where he sank three pull up 15-foot jumpers on three straight possessions. He capped off the quarter with a buzzer-beating layup.

The Hawks carried a comfortable 46-23 lead into the locker room. Cody Leonard took center

stage in the second half. He was a menace in the paint as he has been so far this year by getting buckets and drawing fouls. He scored 12 points in the third quarter and helped build the lead to as big as 29 points in the 4th quarter.

While Carrollton went off on offense, their defense was just as good by rebounding and creating transition points.

“I’m really happy about the improvement in our defense,” Krumwiede said. “I thought our offense was very good, especially in the first half with Luke on a roll. But I thought our defense was more of a constant and that’s what we need to do.”

After playing the Bunker Hill Minutemen on Tuesday, Carrollton will host the Triopia Trojans on Friday the 19th in their first WIVC game of the season.
