Fate of 2020 Greene County Fair decided

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press While the Greene County Fair Board were hoping things would change prior to the start of the 167th annual Greene County Agricultural Fair, it was announced last week that this year’s fair has been canceled.

Scheduled to run from June 20 to the 27, the Greene County Fair Board has decided to cancel this year’s event.

Events like county fairs are restricted under current state guidelines. County fairs cannot operate in Illinois until Phase 5. This phase is the last step in Gov. JB Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan.

Phase 5 is when the economy fully reopens with safety precautions continuing. This, however, is contingent on a vaccine, a highly effective treatment being widely available or the elimination of any new cases over a sustained period. The state is currently in Phase 3. “We are deeply saddened to

Court is back in session in Greene County

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After two months of limited access to the Greene County Courthouse and a halt to most court cases, all because the COVID-19 pandemic, court has once again resumed in the county.

According to Greene County Circuit Court Judge James Day, court resumed hearing all classes of cases on June 1. However there are some modifications and restrictions.

Until further notice, civil cases will be scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday and criminal cases on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. “The clerk of the court is directed to schedule cases on a staggered basis to reduce the number

Jury trials, evictions and mortgage foreclosures are continued through June 30.

Attendance at hearings, whether contested or uncontested, will be limited to the parties, attorneys and witnesses.

Wearing masks or face coverings and practicing social distancing is required in all areas.

Marriages in the courthouse will be restricted to the marriage couple with no guests or witnesses.

to have these amazing queens and their families for another year.�

The registered contestants for this year’s pageant will receive follow up information via email regarding the 2021 pageant and a refund for their entry fee.

Rather than look at the cancelation as a negative, the Fair Board is viewing it as a time of rebuilding. “We will continue to work throughout the year on projects and improvements to come back stronger than ever in 2021,� Joyce said. “We can’t wait to see everyone in 2021.�

This cancelations follow similar trends from around the state with Pike and Macoupin counties having already canceled. Also too last week, the Jersey County Fair was also canceled. Calhoun County is the lone holdout, but with their fair not held until September, they have the advantage of putting off their decision a little longer.

A proud catch Riley Balcom, 3, of White Hall proudly holds fish she caught, while taking part in the virtual fishing derby sponsored by the Roodhouse Police Department.

Because of social distancing guidelines and the fact that hundreds of children show up to fish during the derby, the department asked people to take their children fishing and take a picture of their catch. More photos related to the fishing derby event can be found on A5.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It was decided at the June 3 Pool Board meeting that the pool will open on the first day allowable by the state — June 26. Board members had hoped to be open by the Fourth of July, and decided to take advantage of the extra week and open on the same day as Jerseyville Pool and Raging Rivers. “We have checked with the health department, and we have been cleared to open up on June 26,� Pool Board President Sharon Butler said. “We are very excited, and opening day is getting closer and closer. The pool has been drained, and the city is in the process of cleaning it out now.�

Butler said the amount of people who signed up that night for swim lessons made it clear just how needed the pool is.

“That night, we had 69 people sign up for the swim lessons, which tells me this pool is a vital part of this community,� Butler said. “Because of the COVID-19 restrictions, the classes are going to have to be a lot smaller, so they have been divided up into several different age groups.�

The number of people allowed in the pool at one time has also been reduced. “Opening day and until further notice, depending on when or if the governor lifts the restrictions, we will allow 50 people in the pool at one time,� Butler said. “They will get to swim one hour and then another group of 50 will be allowed to come in and swim. Children are welcome to get back in line if they want another hour’s swim, but they do have to get out of the pool.�

Carrollton Library makes improvements Sta discover forgotten ďŹ nd during restoration

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

M

uch like Greenfield Public Library, the Carrollton Public Library used the state’s two-month shut down to make some improvements to the library.

Librarians Angie Custer and Laura Moss busied themselves painting the bookshelves and working on cleaning the brick on the fireplace and mantel.

Part of the restoration included taking down the mantel and ultimately building a new one.

It was when they took down the mantel that the discovery was made. “When we took down the mantel, we noticed the wood and bricks were scored as if there had been a fire here at some time,� Custer said. “It got us very curious, so we searched through the newspaper archives and found out that the library actually caught on fire in 1965.�

The library caught fire on Thursday, Oct. 21, 1965 and the Carrollton Gazette had an article on the incident the following week.

The fire was noticed at approximately 7:40 a.m. by Robert “Bob�

Munzebrock, owner of Munzy’s Standard Service Station on South Fifth St. He noticed considerable smoke coming from the west side of the building and immediately sounded the alarm for the Carrollton Fire Protection Unit.

During an interview with Fire Chief Gene Wagener at the scene, it was

learned that the blaze had either started around the furnace or the flue of the library and proceeded up through the floor of the southwest section near the fireplace and ignited the southwest portion of the wall.

The section of the library contained the children’s book section and moved up the west wall and ignited that area of the ceiling. The fire was so intense it blew out one of the west windows which, in turn, caused a draft to further feed the fire.

According to the article, the prompt response and efficient fire fighting methods employed by the Fire Protection Unit personnel were instrumental in both containing the fire in the southwest corner of the structure and saving the entire structure and its contents.

The fire caused five shelves of children’s books to go up in flames and ruined the shelving. An air conditioner, located in this area, was warped by the intense heat and bent out of shape.

Portions of the southwest wall, ceiling and floor were heavily damaged by the fire, smoke and water and several windows were broken.

Some of the firefighters were overheard remarking that if they had been equipped with smoke masks, they could have entered the building, reached the source of the fire and extinguished it much quicker.

The discovery answered several questions that staff had. “First of all, we wondered why the hardware on the windows on that (See, LIBRARY, A2)

Carrollton Librarian Angie Custer works on cleaning up the bricks around the fireplace. After removing the mantel, it was discovered that a fire in the 1960s had damaged the wall of the library. The fire started in the basement from the furnace and traveled up the wall. The charred wood and bricks were the only indication of the fire, which no one seems to remember occurring more than 50 years ago.

Strategy can only take one so far with yard sales

So, last week I talked about the much anticipated city-wide yard sales in Carrollton and how much I was looking forward to them, even though the last thing I needed was someone else’s stuff.

It’s sad that I’m even saying this, but I laid out a strategy for the first day of the sale. The list of yard sales came out on Thursday, and I was there right off the bat to get the list.

I was going to do this scientifically.

I got the list, and I marked the ones who opened first cause I wanted to be the first one there. There were only two who started before 8 a.m., so they got priority.

I actually made a map of the town and the streets where there were yard sales and marked them down and made a plan on which ones I was going to go to next. Yeah, that was a monumental waste of time.

I was up bright and early at 6 a.m. and got my critters taken care of so I wouldn’t have to worry about them.

I went to my change drawer and took out $10 in quarters cause I didn’t want someone to have to break a $20 for a 25 cent item. I also grabbed two $20s as you never know what you might find.

Last year, I found this really nice cabinet that I put in my kitchen for food. It was a steal at $10 and like new.

My goal was to get in and out of there as quick as possible so I could get to the next sale so as not to miss any bargains.

However, at the first sale, I ran into a snag. That snag was two cute little tuxedo kittens. If you know me, then you know I am a sucker for kittens. I stayed there at least half an hour playing with those kittens. Somehow, nothing else seemed to matter at that point.

When I finally pulled myself away,

I found that my plan for the day didn’t really matter. You see, I had planned to go by the list. But in reality, when you see a sale – you stop. It might not be on your list, but you stop anyway. Pretty soon, you are so far away from your map you just give up and start going willy-nilly.

You go by a street and look down the cross street to see if you see any cars parked along the side of the street. If so, you know there is a sale and you better get your butt down there and fast.

I have to say that the traffic was much less than I expected. Last year, they would have run you over in a heartbeat.

This year – not so much.

However, I did find that there were a lot of out of town people attending.

I saw one woman who said that they were not allowing yard sales in Jersey County at this time, so they were all coming here.

I told her that I more or less told the health department that if they didn’t allow our yard sales that they would have an uprising on their hands.

I have to admit that I am proud of myself for my restraint. I mentioned last week that I have a million T-shirts and just as many shorts and needed no more. I’m proud to say that I bought one T-shirt and one pair of shorts and spent a total of $15 for the weekend.

There is always that one thing that you are most proud of, and for me, that is nine small clay pots for plants. Did I mention the best part of all –- they were free? I was looking for more pots for my plants and these were just made for me.

Saturday afternoon, I spray painted them. And Sunday, I set about putting plants in them. They brought my total of potted plants to 46.

I never planned to have such a mul- Much Ado titude of plants, About but with no sports Nothing going on, I had to do something with my BY CARMEN spare time.

ENSINGER My goal is to find someone who has iris bulbs that can share with me to plant for next year. I really think I could get into this planting stuff and not just because of the COVID-19, which prevented anything else from taking place.

I love watching things grow and thrive. I spent a ton of money at Farm and Home on plants, but that wasn’t good enough. I also bought some seeds.

I kept the containers the plants came in and planted them in there.

My first go around, it rained and washed all the dirt out of the pots so I had to start all over. I learned a lot from that first round — like don’t put a ton of seeds in each little compartment.

For some reason, I am really into marigolds this year. I’ve always been a petunia person, but this year I find marigolds absolutely gorgeous. Lucky for me, those seeds came up really well, so I replanted them in some of the new pots I got at the yard sale.

It is amazing to see how plants thrive when they are put into a bigger pot. I planted a few in bigger pots a couple days earlier, and they are shooting up like crazy. They had stalled in those little containers for what seemed like forever, but once planted, they are taking off like crazy.

All I gotta say is — best yard sale find ever!

Sycamore trees are looking sort of sick

By BILL HOAGLAND I don’t know how things are in your neck of the woods, but in mine, something is going on with the sycamore trees, and it does not look good.

The sycamore tree is generally a beautiful tree that, when healthy, can grow to 100 feet in height and sometimes 4 to 6 feet in diameter. It is most notable for its splotchy layers of tree bark, with muted brown overtones and a white undercoat when the bark falls away.

This peeling away of the outer bark is caused by the fact that sycamore tree bark is very rigid and cannot keep up with the growing tree trunk underneath it. So, it splits and peels away in segments, exposing the white underbark, but the effect is beautiful.

All in all, the sycamore is a good citizen, standing tall for years and looking very stately.

But this year, at least in Madison, Jersey and Calhoun counties, it seems as though sycamore trees have something seriously wrong with them. The crown of the tree is often devoid of leaves, and to the extent there are leaves, they have brown splotches.

As best I can tell, these trees are infected with a fungal disease known as sycamore anthracnose.

This fungus attacks the vascular system in the tree and unfortunately, is very contagious, spreading from tree to tree by wind or rain that moves the spores to other trees. It has resulted from a cool, wet spring that causes the fungus to flourish in the first place.

While sycamores are the main species being affected, this disease can also spread to other species, such as white oak, red bud and river birch. The good

Another turkey season has come and gone.

I spent the last several days chasing two gobblers that teased me every day until the season was officially over. They showed up each day within 200 square yards of the previous day. Sometimes, I would just sit in my truck waiting for them to come out into their strutting area. I would then plan my strategy that included both stalking and calling.

Several times, I decided on an ambush. Other days, it was more of a traditional approach.

And even though I did kill one there a few days earlier, these two were too smart for me. I couldn’t believe I could know so much about these birds, hunt them for several days in a row, and yet come up empty-handed. I noticed during a stretch of several days, I would constantly think about how to go about tagging one of those birds. It seemed it was always on my mind, and even though I was confident in each new plan I devised, they always came up short.

We are all good at making plans.

They are always based upon what we know – or what we think we know. We especially do this when it comes to the things of God. Most people take the influences of family, friends, work, and the media, and form a plan for what they believe about God, His ways, and even their hope for Heaven.

They have formed their belief system on what someone else has told them and the only thing they have weighed its genuineness against, is if

it sounds and feels right.

That is a d a n g e rous gamble.

Each one of my plans to shoot a turkey sounded and felt right. They were based on the knowledge I had from what I saw and heard from those gobblers and from what I had learned from my hunting experiences and from other hunters as well. But each plan failed because none were guaranteed.

In our spiritual life, uncertainty does not have to rule our minds. The Scriptures give us the measure for everything we see, hear, and feel.

They allow us to test if what we feel has backbone or is it just an untrustworthy emotion.

They also allow us to lay what we see and hear alongside its pages to make sure our eyes and ears are not deceiving us.

They give us the guarantee that we all want in life and in death.

Don’t wait for a pastor or priest to open the word of God for you. Open it for yourself.

Learn from it. Know it. It will give you the surety you need for this life and the next; because life is a lot more fun when you don’t have to wonder about the things that really matter.

Library news is that according to the experts, the sycamore tree will eventually survive this disease once the weather warms up and dries out. Unfortunately, this disease can leave the infected tree in a weakened position, making it susceptible to other problems.

Perhaps things will improve later this summer for the sycamore, but this blight is a reminder of how attached we can become to specific trees that surround us — trees that in many instances have literally grown up with us. Usually, we take our favorite tree’s exis-

tence for granted, but when they do die and need to be cut down, it is as if we are losing a favorite pet, and surprisingly, the grief sometimes can last just as long.

Pool (Continued from A1) Everything in and around the pool must be sanitized prior to the next group being allowed to come in.

“We have to sanitize everything from the chairs and tables to the bathrooms,” Butler said. “Everything at that pool has to be sanitized – that is one of the requirements for letting us open.”

The concession stand will also be open this year.

“The only requirement we have for the concession stand is that workers who are in there serving food must be wearing a mask,” Butler said.

“That is the only time that a mask is required. Of course, anyone is allowed to wear a mask if they feel more comfortable that way, but it is not required of anyone but the concession stand workers.”

Butler said she hopes the new diving board will arrive within a week or two of opening. The old diving board was original to the pool, which opened in the 1980s, and Butler said it was rusted and in bad shape.

“Of course when you replace anything, you have to go by the specifications set forth by the state,” Butler said. “We could not use anything

from the old diving board – everything had to be new, so this new diving board is costing over $20,000.”

The Pool Board is paying for the diving board, but the city is expected to reimburse them in the fall in the amount of up to $8,000 once real estate tax money starts coming in.

The Pool Board has spent some serious money getting the pool ready to open this year.

“We had five rings and gauges in the chemical room that had to be replaced before they would issue us our license this year,” Butler said.

“That cost us $3,400, and we are also going to have to replace the water heaters this year.”

Butler said they currently have two water heaters – one for the men’s restroom and one for the ladies’ restroom.

“We decided we are just going to go with one big one instead of the two separate smaller ones,” Butler said.

“All of the water will be heated off of the same water heater from now on.”

Opening Day, June 26, there will be free admission along with a canned food drive. Patrons are asked to donate a can or two of food, which will go to the food pantry.

The daily schedule of the pool will be noon to 3 p.m. daily with swim sessions of 3 hours. The pool will close from 3-3:30 p.m. for cleaning and sanitizing before the next round of swimmers are allowed in from 3:30-6:30 p.m.

Pool parties will be held Monday through Thursday from 7:30-9:30 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 6-8 p.m. and 8-10 p.m.

Swim lessons will be given Monday through Thursday at a cost of $30 for eight lessons. Each class is limited to 12 swimmers. There are three session dates: June 29 to July 9; July 13 to July 23 and July 27 to Aug. 6. Times available are 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m.; 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 7:20 p.m.

All three June 29 to July 9 sessions are full and the July 13 to 23 evening class is also full. People can sign up for swim lessons through Facebook by giving the child’s name, age and a phone number. The classes are for age 4 and up.

Pool passes have reduced prices because of the shortened season. A family pass is $100; individual pass, $30; senior pass, $30 and sitters may be added to family passes.

(Continued from A1) wall were different than the other windows,” Custer said. “We also wondered why there was no picture of Andrew Carnegie, because they said he always gave a picture of himself to each of the libraries he funded.

My guess is that that photo hung on that wall between the windows and was burned up in the fire.”

The origin of the fire is suspected to have been from the furnace, located in the basement, which did not shut off at the proper time and became overheated causing the fire.

“Upon a closer look in the basement, you can tell where there was once a fire down there,” Custer said. “We just

never knew what really happened or when. Now we do.”

Carrollton Library is one of the few Carnegie libraries left in the State of Illinois.

Carnegie gave grants to build 105 libraries in Illinois between the years of 1901 and 1914. The only other states with more libraries funded by the philanthropist are Indiana and California.

While many of them have been destroyed, or are no longer used as libraries, west central Illinois is lucky to have three of them still in use today. Carrollton Library was built and opened in 1902 at a cost of $10,000; Jerseyville was opened in 1904 at a cost of $12,000 and Winchester was opened in 1910 at a cost of $7,500.

Larry Camerer Larry Kenneth Camerer, 79, of Eldred passed away on Monday morning June 8, 2020 at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield.

Larry was born in Carrollton on Jan. 8, 1941.

He was the son of the late Carl Isaac and Matilda “Tillie” Camerer. He is loved by four children, five grandchildren and one great grand-daughter— his daughter, Trena Camerer and her daughter Hannah Camerer from Godfrey; Larry’s son and daughterin-law, Major General Mark and Julie Camerer stationed at Scott AFB and their sons and families, Matthew and Lacy Camerer and Michael and Britney Camerer who blessed Larry with a greatgrand daughter, Zoey Camerer; Larry’s son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Emie Camerer and sons Adam and Zachariah Camerer, of St. Louis; and Larry’s youngest son Anthony Camerer from Eldred.

Larry is a veteran of the US Air Force and was stationed in Amarillo, Texas where he met and married Cassie C. Camp in October in 1961. They were married for 26 years calling Eldred home. While in Eldred, Larry was self-employed as a custom farmer and house flipper (long before it was a tv show). In 1981, the family moved to Wright Wyo. where Larry worked as a coal miner for ARCO at Thunder Basin Coal Mine until he retired in 1995 and returned home to Eldred.

In 2003, Larry was blessed with a fourth child Anthony Ryan, who filled his life with more love than we can ever know. Larry can rest now knowing that he raised a remarkable family who loved and supported him as much as he loved and supported them. He genuinely cherished time with his family and provided a steady example of love and support—he was always first to cheer the directions we

He had a long list of hobbies that included fishing, gardening or building and fixing things up—a job well done was his standard practice. There was always a project or two or three in the works. He was innovative and resourceful and never afraid of trying something new even if it meant taking an unprecedented risk.

We will remember that he was a jokester and his shenanigans will be shared among us for years to come. On days that we catch a monster fish, raise a bumper crop of tomatoes or find a great mess of mushrooms, our thoughts will drift toward him.

Larry is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Tucker and Grace Camerer of Murrayville, his brother Gary Camerer of Gillespie, his brother-in-law, Jake Reno, his sister-in-law, Darielle Camerer of Eldred and many-many nephews, nieces and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Carl Jr. and Charlie, and his sister Betty Reno.

ometimes it is hard to see the good in others, especially when they don’t treat us the way we think we deserve. It is all too easy to see others as selfish and mean-spirited. But we usually do better by believing the best rather than the worst about others. Acting “as if ” you like someone and they like you is more likely to bring about friendly relations than acting as if they are your enemy. Believing that we can do a difficult task and acting on that belief is more likely to achieve those results than giving in to doubt and fear. This aspect of positive thinking also often holds true when we are talking about global or even cosmic events.

Believing that we can change the world creates the impetus for positive social action. And simply believing that the world is a good and safe place changes our perspective on it. A great philosopher once said “The world

of the happy man is a happy world.” When it comes to questions of faith, sometimes we have trouble believing that God is working in our lives, or even believing that God exists. But sometimes we have to act “as if ” God exists in order for us to see that He does exist. Getting down on one’s knees and praying is sometimes the only way to open our hearts and minds to the existence of a benevolent God. Act as if you are happy, and successful, and that there is a benevolent, loving and all-powerful God who can help you. Because all of this can be true.

Greenfield Library gets makeover

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Greenfield Public Library has used the past two months of closure to make some changes around the library.

The library moved into its current building next to the former Greenfield City Hall in 1990, and in the past 30 years, not much has changed.

“We felt it was time that the library reinvented itself, and since we could not be open, this was the perfect time to do some rearranging,” Board Member Martha Rawe said. “We thought it was time to upgrade, update and just rearrange things a bit.”

The north wall now contains all of the genealogy materials including the census and cemetery data from Greene and adjoining counties.

“Much of this material was donated by the children of Faye Sonneborn,” Rawe said. “There are books on how to do genealogy research, books by local authors on local history in addition to Greene County Days booklets, Greene County Historical Society newsletters, high school yearbooks and a copy of the Greenfield City ordinances.”

All non-fiction adult books are shelved in the rest of the sections.

“Under the window, there is a new computer desk that was donated by Matt and Alissa Frank,” Rawe said. “We had the windows tinted to let in more light and give everyone a view of Veteran’s Park.”

This area is also the home to the “grandmother clock,” so called because it is shorter than the typical grandfather clock. This clock was made by Elmer Jackson, who was the previous owner of Southside Hardware.

He donated it to the library when it moved into its new home 30 years ago. In the near future, a magazine rack in memory of Dr. Gary Turpin, who loved magazines, will also be located in this area.

Looking to the left, one will now notice the walnut library table.

“This table had served as the computer desk, but now, it has a place of honor and can be admired by all,” Rawe said.

“According to the plaque on it, it was handmade by William Joseph Armold in shop class at Greenfield High School in 1926 for his mother and donated to the library in 1991 by his sister, Maythel Margaret Armold Hunt.

“The walnut used in the table was harvested from trees, which were on the farm now occupied by the Greenfield City Lake.”

The book shelves have also been rearranged. Sections 1 and 2 are now juvenile non-fiction and fiction. Section 3 is young adult non-fiction and fiction. Section 4 is large print non-fiction and fiction. All adult fiction is on the shelves on the west and north wall in alphabetical order by author beginning with Section 5.

There is also a jigsaw puzzles and games section and a holiday book section on opposite ends of the north wall. Books in the children’s area are still waiting on their final destination in the very near future.

Those wondering how to find anything with all the fiction together on the shelves, should not worry – the shelves are labeled.

“There are letter markers indicating the beginning initial of the authors on the shelves directly below the markers,” Rawe said. “There are markers for some specific authors above their collections. Hopefully, favorites will stand out. I have found some lesser known authors who might merit a look. Some of them are on display on the table.”

Many people really liked the inspiration section, and, never fear, they can still be found by looking for the “I” on the spine of the books.

While rearranging the library, many different features were discovered that Rawe wants to bring to patron’s attention.

They include: a replica of a barn made

by Howard Rollins from a siding board from the last barn on the Greene County Poor Farm; a framed “recovered” paper money from the Andrea Dorea, which sank in 1956; an original painting of the library done by Mary Newton; another picture of the library next to the old city hall taken, digitized and donated by Eleise Walker; a memorial flag and purple heart medal that was bestowed on William Joseph Armold; a quilt rack made by Ronnie Fergurson; a globe donated in memory of Bill Walden by Lisa Putnam Cole; two red chairs acquired in 2015 in memory of Jean Rollins and Fernanda Morrow; the revitalized children’s area, which was done in 2016 in honor of Ronnie and Ruth Fergurson, and the new book shelves made by Wayne Dodson in 2018 in memory of Lori Shipley and Mary Hill Downard.

Rawe said that it has taken several years to take the plunge and redo the library.

“We were encouraged to make changes to the library in 2017 by Chris Dawdy of Illinois Heartland Library Association,” she said. “We need to appeal to the younger generation of patrons while we remain a place of gathering for the entire Greenfield community.”

To assist patrons in selecting a book, some lists have been complied. The first is a list of authors that were on the inspiration shelves. Then, there are lists of authors by category such as mystery, Christian fiction, westerns, etc.

“There are some copies of these lists available,” Rawe said. “After looking at these lists, one might decide to try a new author and set out on a new reading path.”

The library is currently open by appointment only. One can call the library and make an appointment to use the computer or pick up books.

St. John the Evangelist School receives grant from Bayer Fund St. John the Evangelist School announced it received a grant for $5,000 from Bayer Fund, which will be used to purchase new K-5 Science materials and implement a 3D Printing program in grades 6-8.

“We feel very blessed to receive these funds,” Julie Lake, Principal of St. John the Evangelist School, said. “This grant will allow us to provide more STEM opportunities for our students. We plan to purchase more hands-on science materials for our K-fifth grade students and begin a 3D printing program for our sixth-eighth grade students. Without these funds, we would not be able to provide these important curriculum improvements for our students, especially in this time of uncertainty.”

It is said this grant will not only provide support to their organization, but also the community they serve by allowing them to develop students with

“Throughout the years, the grants given through Bayer Fund have helped strengthen our communities across the United States,” said Al Mitchell, President of Bayer Fund. “We’re proud to be able to provide support to develop programs that help combat challenges such as food insecurity, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education and support services to patients and families managing an illness or disease.”

In 2019, Bayer Fund awarded more than $14 million to over 3,200 charitable and non-profit organizations to help address essential needs in food, nutrition, STEM education and community development. Over the last five years, non-profit organizations across the U.S. have received more than $79 million.

TAKE NOTICE CERTIFICATE NO. 201600153

2019 Greene County final multiplier announced Greene County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0205, according to David Harris, Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The property assessment equalization factor, often called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiplier,â&#x20AC;? is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g. school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts).

If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result.

Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at onethird of its market value.

Farm property is assessed differently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agriculture economic value. Farmland is not subject to the state equalization factor.

Assessments in Greene County are at 32.66 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2019 taxes, payable in 2020. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equalization factor for the county was 1.0000.

The final assessment equalization factor was

issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor issued in February 2020 was 1.0205.

The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments/county assessor.

If this three-year average level of assessment is onethird of the market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one.

And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one.

A change in the equalization factor does not mean total property tax bills will increase or decrease. Tax bills are determined by local taxing bodies when they request money each year to provide services to local citizens. If the amount requested by local taxing districts is not greater than the amount received in the previous year, then total property taxes will not increase even if assessments increase.

The assessed value of an individual property determines what portion of the tax burden a specific taxpayer will assume.

That individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

Horoscopes VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Creative pursuits are keeping you busy, Virgo. While they may fill the hours, figure out a way to turn hobbies into something profitable. You may need the money soon enough.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it may be up to you to step up and make up some of the financial deficit in your household when you get news that affects everyone. You can quickly recover.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Don’t let indecisiveness get in your way, Taurus. You really know what you want deep down, so put those plans into action as soon as you can. Others may come along for the ride.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 It is hard to foster tight relationships when you do not actively work on them, Libra. Sometimes you need to take the lead and initiate contact with others.

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 New career goals may have to be put on hold for the time being, Pisces.

Another issue takes precedence at the moment.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Don’t feel like you need to make sense of everything all of the time, Gemini.

Sometimes things will work themselves out and will become more clear over time.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Don’t be too hard on yourself if some poor news at work seems to be directly related to one of your assignments, Scorpio. You were only one factor in this situation.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t put too many eggs in one basket, Cancer. Look for different opportunities to diversify your skill set and make yourself more attractive to both acquaintances and employers.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 Take as many moments as you can steal for yourself in the days to come, Sagittarius. Soon enough you will be too busy to sit and relax for any amount of time.

ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when faced with too many options, you may have difficulty making a final decision. This is when you may need to bring in a second opinion.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 There is little point focusing all your energy on a situation that you know will not go in your favor, Leo. Instead, start zeroing in on a different project or task.

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Friends certainly have your back, Capricorn. You must be willing to accept their assistance in your time of need. Even though you’re a giver by nature, accept the help.
