FOP files grievance against county By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

he local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Union filed a grievance against the city for switching the county’s insurance after already signing a contract with the FOP union. The board, by a 5-1 vote, approved at the June 9 county board meeting to switch the county’s insurance carrier from the Steelworker’s Health and Welfare Fund to Employee Benefits Solutions, a health reimbursement arrangement program for health insurance. Board members Chris Elliott,

Andrea Schnelten, Christy Ford, Regan Joehl and Mark Strang all voted yes on the motion. The only “no” vote came from board member Joyce Clark. Board member Earlene Castleberry was not present at the meeting. According to the grievance, which was filed on June 11, the adoption of the new insurance violates Article 23 of the union contract that the board signed with the FOP in that “the employer has chosen an insurance plan that is not a Steelworkers plan, which the contract requires.” Article 23.1 of the FOP contract states that the employer, in this case being the county, will participate in the Steelworkers Health and Welfare Fund for insurance coverage on behalf of all bargaining unit

employees during the term of this agreement. Article 23.2 states that in an effort to contain costs and still provide good health insurance benefits, the employer and union agree to begin a search committee to review and explore any insurance options, which may be available. This was not done – the new plan was brought to the FOP without any prior input and no search committee representative was ever brought on board in the decision. Per the grievance, the members of the bargaining unit are asking that the county follow the contract that they have with the FOP, which means continuing the insurance with the Steelworkers. For the past several months, the board has considered changing

insurance providers. Both the courthouse employees and the sheriff’s office were covered under a plan offered by the Steelworkers, which some board members considered a conflict of interest. The plan touted by a couple of the board members was through a firm known as Employee Benefits Solutions. The plan basically offered the same coverage as the plan through the Steelworkers, but it is structured differently. The new plan adopted by the board at the June 9 meeting is what is called a HRA or health reimbursement arrangement. The numbers outlined at the May meeting when it was originally presented for adoption by the board were as follows: (See, GRIEVANCE, A2)

North Greene Summer Lunch Program up and going By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Five days a week from now until Aug. 13, a group of volunteers gather at the Calvary Baptist Church kitchen to prepare more than 100 sack lunches for North Greene students as part of the Summer Lunch Program. The program was started more than a decade ago by former teacher Tammy Winters who realized that many students depended on school lunches for their daily nutrition. Since school is not in session during the summer, many of them were going without meals and she sought to rectify this with the summer lunch program. From there, the program grew and grew. Winters turned the program over to Julie Wallis and Patty Westnedge three years ago, and they have kept the program going. Wallis explained how the program is funded. “We get donations from churches, business and individuals, and with this money we buy the meat, bread, cheese and fresh fruit and vegetables,” Wallis said. “The North Greene Food Pantry has been very good about donating such items as cookies, bags of chips, fruit bars, juices and things like that.” The closing of Kroger earlier this year meant they had to find another source for their groceries.

Charges dismissed in horse abuse case By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The former Greene County State’s Attorney who faced numerous charges for allegedly starving several horses in 2019 has had those charges dismissed. Ken Hobson was scheduled for a pretrial hearing on two charges of cruelty to animals and two charges of violating animal owners duties on June 11. Because of a conflict of interest, as Hobson was once a State’s Attorney in Greene County, the case was handed over to State Appellate Prosecutor Jennifer Mudge and transferred to Morgan County Judge Jack Davis. On June 8, an order was entered and signed by Davis, Mudge and Hobson’s

Public Defender Tom Piper. The order states: “Defendant appears to be in full compliance with all regulations and requirements for the humane treatment of agricultural livestock and animals, including in particular, horses and their offspring. It is the joint motion of the parties that the above entitled cause is dismissed and the cause stricken.” Hobson was charged back on Oct. 23, 2019 after the alleged discovery of four horses found on his property near death from starvation. The charges allege that Hobson, between June 18 and Sept. 17, cruelly treated the horses by failing to provide adequate food and veterinary care to a palomino colt and a 15-year-old bay mare gelding in his care, who both had

open wounds that went untreated. The charges also alleged that Hobson neglected his duties as an owner by failing to provide adequate food and water to a 25-year-old paint mare and a 10-year-old buckskin mare. The four horses were reportedly found near death on Sept. 18 and removed from the property by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. Greene County Sheriff Rob McMillen described the horses, including one young foal, as severely underweight. One of the horses and the foal reportedly had lacerations that had gone untreated and were infested with flies and maggots. According to McMillen, the horses were already the subject of an inves-

tigation by the Illinois Department of Agriculture alleging abuse. The department had received a complaint earlier that year and made a visit to the property. When the department returned to check on the horses, Hobson had reportedly not complied with their orders to provide them veterinary care, and they were in much worse condition than before. Hobson would not voluntarily surrender the horses, so the sheriff’s office was called in to help with removing the horses from the property on Sept. 18. After seeing the severe neglected condition of the horses, McMillen opted to open a criminal investigation and presented his findings to the Greene County State’s Attorney.

IDOT pressuring county over hiring engineer

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

here's more bad news on the county engineer front, with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) taking an active interest in the county's delay in filling the position.

Irresistible sales force Who could say no to these three sweet young ladies? Aspen, Alivia and Autumn Range decided they were going to set up a lemonade stand outside of their dad’s office in Greenfield Saturday morning. Their dad is Adam Range with Country Financial Insurance. Dad can take a few lessons from his three young sales ladies. They raised $200 from their lemonade stand, which they donated to the Tiger Backers.

A recent Freedom of Information Act Request of an email from IDOT revealed that, following the resignation of Diane Hendricks, office manager and acting county highway engineer at the end of May, IDOT was suspending the allotment of Motor Fuel Tax funds to the county until the county named either an acting county engineer that they approved of or a county engineer. County Highway Engineer David Marth retired at the end of December, and the county has yet to find his replacement. IDOT is concerned with the county’s delay in naming his successor.

Illinois statutes require that the county name a replacement county engineer with the proper qualifications within 100 days of the previous county engineer’s departure. Back in May, IDOT gave the county several suggestions that might help with filling the position. At the top of the list was to reach out to other counties to see if they might be able to partner with them and share their county engineer. The second suggestion was to review the job responsibilities of the position to see how it compares to other counties and perhaps make some adjustments to the job responsibilities to make it more desirable. Their final suggestion was to review the salary range for the position and assess whether the salary is appropriate for the services provided. There is currently a high demand in the area for professional engineers with five to 15 years of experience, so the county is competing with many engineering firms as well as IDOT. (See, IDOT, A3)

Should teenagers get vaccinated? By BILL HOAGLAND There has been much controversy lately as to whether teenagers should be getting vaccinated for COVID. It will be coming to a head within the next few months when colleges and high schools reopen for the fall and decisions have to be made whether to make the vaccination mandatory for teenagers. The issue boils down as to whether these vaccinations are as safe for teenagers as they appear to be for older adults. And unfortunately, the volunteers used during the testing phases to get these vaccines approved did not include many children under 18 years of age so to some extent, we are in uncharted territory as to what effect these vaccines have on children. In addition, there continue to be rare but adverse side effects to the various vaccines being administered world-wide, and this creates understandable concern for parents everywhere. The most recent side effect for teenagers getting one of the vaccines is “myocarditis,” which is an inflammation of the heart muscle that pumps blood to the rest of the body. The symptoms of myocarditis include shortness of breath, rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness and chest pain. Because I have teenage grandkids, I wanted to verify whether myocarditis really is occurring in teenagers as a result of these vaccinations and whether there is a legitimate concern about teenagers getting vaccinated because of this side effect. After a considerable amount of searching, I found what appears to be a credible source to answer the issue of what we should do. This source is Dr. Christy Risinger, a medical doctor and internist practicing in Austin, Texas. She seems particularly credible to me because she has four children of her own under the age of 16 and this is a personal issue for her. Risinger’s discussion of this issue was rendered on June 4 and hopefully can still be found on YouTube.

According to Dr. Risinger, there have been reports of myocarditis occurring in teenagers following COVID-19 vaccinations but overall, they have been rare. As proof of this, she refers to the vaccination program in Israel, where it was mandatory that all children over the age of 15 be vaccinated. The Israel government vaccinated approximately five million people, including teenagers 16 and older, with the Pfizer vaccine. Of those persons between the ages of 16 and 30, on average, approximately one person out of every five thousand developed myocarditis after the vaccination. The medical conclusion was that there was a possible causal relationship between the vaccine and the development of myocarditis. Dr. Risinger also discussed what is happening here in the US; there have been relatively few teenagers who have developed myocarditis following receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but it is happening. If diagnosed soon enough, myocarditis apparently can be treated successfully with rest and medication. But here is the most significant part of this medical history: there have been no adverse results from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with respect to myocarditis; and of the adverse results following administration of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, nearly all of the adverse reactions were in young males, not young women. It is believed that the reactions occurred because some young males, being young, develop excessive antibodies as a reaction to the vaccine, and it is this excess that triggers the inflammation. The advice Risinger gives sounds reasonable. She says that if you have

female children, the risk of developing myocarditis for them appears to be almost non-existent based on the medical history that is available. If you have male children, you have several options. You can go ahead with both doses of Pfizer or Moderna because the overall risk is low in any event. If still uneasy about it, your boys can receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine; or they can spread out the two doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine beyond the normal waiting time between the first and second doses, or they can just get one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine now and wait to see if it is determined that one dose is sufficient for children. Apparently, Dr. Risinger intends to have her children vaccinated with the first dose of either Pfizer or Moderna and then wait to see what is happening with the vaccination effort on teenagers elsewhere. Obviously, as a parent, you owe it to yourself and your children to keep abreast of developments. To be more specific about it, Israel is now going to vaccinate children between the ages of 12 and 15. It would be important to track to what extent these children develop myocarditis to get a better idea of the risk that may be involved. Let’s face it; we really are entering uncharted territory. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

Enjoy gift the captain has provided for you I’ve told you about my fishing adventures with Mike. He’s a local striper guide. I have fished with him on numerous occasions, but most of the time I am his helper when I have friends come and use his services. We always have a good time, and it’s even better when all those on board catch plenty of fish. Most of the time, there’s about four guys who join us for about a half-day of fishing. Mike has everything ready when we arrive. The rods are ready for the bait, he’s got a good idea where the fish are located, and he’s already been out before 4 a.m. getting live bait for the day. Heck, he even provides water and snacks for all. During the summer, the boat leaves at 6 a.m., and there’s normally a short ride before we begin to locate the species we’ve come after. Mike’s fish-finder looks like a large computer screen, or maybe a small television. It has more lines, graphs, shapes and notifications than a stock market ticker tape. Again, it’s all part of making it easy for those who are his guests, whether they are novices or experts.

When we do locate our fish, Mike baits the hooks, lowers the lines and instructs his crew to simply raise the rod and give it a little tug when a fish gets on. Mike has done all the work so anyone who wants to fish can have success. Pretty neat. This is a great illustration of the work Christians believe was done by Jesus for each of us, to ensure a right relationship with God. Jesus made all the preparation, did all the work and sacrificed all the effort needed, so the sin that was separating us from God would be destroyed. And after he did all that, he invited every person to join him in the boat. Don’t be concerned about bringing anything. He has that covered. Don’t concern yourself with your lack of ability. He has planned for that. Just get in and enjoy the gift the captain has provided for you. While it cost him everything, it costs you nothing. And he paid the price not out of resentment, but for the hope he has of being the good captain of your life. ––––––––––––––––––– Q *DU\ KDV WKUHH ERRNV that are compilations of the articles he has written for

Grievance (Continued from A1) The plan through the Steelworkers costs $1,108 per person for 58 employees which comes out to $64,000 per month or $771,168 a year. Adding in the $500 deductible paid for each employee, that raises the cost to over $800,000 per year in insurance premiums. The HRA could save the county $259,000 by reducing the cost to $778 per month per employee for a monthly cost of $45,124 for an annual expenditure of $541,488. This would save the county approximately $259,000 a year in insurance premiums. The deductible would be raised to $3,500 instead of $500, but instead of the employee paying the deductible, the county would be

responsible for its payment. The county would pay the higher deductible out of the $259,000 savings, which would be set aside. Once the employee reaches their deductible, the insurance will pay 100 percent. The employee, therefore, would be out nothing. If each of the 58 county employees reached their deductible, which was paid by the county, the county would expend $203,000 of the $259,000 saved by switching to the HRA. This would cut the savings to the county to $56,000. However, if only 18 of the county’s employees max out their deductible, the county would realize a savings of around $196,000. The county is still in negotiations with the steel-

workers union, which covers the rest of the courthouse employees for their next contract, so no grievance has been filed on their part. According to the Illinois FOP Labor Council and the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services, the county has 15 days to answer the grievance filed by the FOP. At a special board meeting on Friday, June 18, the board was supposed to talk with the FOP via a conference call in closed session. A request for information after the closed session was met with “no action taken.” If the matter goes into arbitration and requires the service of an arbitrator, the losing party must pay for the arbitrator.

pantry has donated a lot of individual containers of cereal so we have been giving out cereal on Friday, but I think we are going to start giving it out every day, so therefore, they will have something for breakfast the next morning also.” Wallis said Rich and Judy Caskey, who operate the North Greene Food Pantry, are always thinking of them when they make trips to the Central Illinois Food Bank. “They are always trying to order individually packing items that helps us to prepare the meals,” Wallis said. “They called me yesterday and said they had some items for us, so I took my car over to pick them thinking I would get a little stuff I could unload by

individual cereal bars, granola bars, cookies, dried fruit packages, juice boxes and ziplock bags, which are used to put the sandwiches and fresh fruit and vegetables in. “There was so much stuff I needed help to unload it all,” Wallis said. “So, I put a call out on Facebook for help, and within minutes, I had five or six people show up to help me unload it all.” Wallis said they have a checking account set up at Farmers State Bank in White Hall for anyone who would like to donate to the program. Donations can be made at the bank or a check can be sent to the Treasurer Shari Axley, c/o Summer Lunch Program 550 Morrow Ave., White Hall, IL, 62092.

Lunch (Continued from A1) “We used to go every Monday to Roger’s in White Hall and pick up supplies, but since they closed, we now have an agreement with Sinclair’s in Jerseyville for a pickup once a week for meat, cheese and those kinds of things,” Wallis said. “The pastor at Calvary Baptist Church works in Jerseyville, so he is nice enough to pick that stuff up for us on Saturday and bring it to the church.” Calvary Baptist Church has allowed the program to utilize their church as a base of operations. “They have let us use their church to prepare the meals, and we have a storeroom there with two refrigerators that were donated to us so we keep all of our stuff there at the church,” Wallis said. “Then, people just come to the church each morning during the week and make the meals.” Each week, a different church group or community group volunteers to make around 100 meals a day. These meals are then delivered to two locations in both White Hall and Roodhouse as well as to Hillview and Patterson. “We had questioned this year about if we should keep delivering them to Hillview and Patterson because maybe there really wasn’t enough people who really needed it, but we decided to go ahead and do it again this year,” Wallis said. “The numbers have really picked up. At the beginning it was slow, but right now we are delivering around 10 to 15 a day in Patterson and about 15 to 20 a day in Hillview.” A typical lunch consists of a sandwich such as ham and cheese, bologna or turkey, some sort of fresh fruit or vegetable or fruit bar or juice, some kind of grain or bag of chips or perhaps crackers and something sweet, such as a pack of cookies or popsicle. “We usually have four to five items in the bag,” Wallis said. “Also, the food

myself. They loaded my car Our readers today are your customers tomorrow so full that I could barely see to drive to the church and they loaded their van full as well so we had lots and lots of stuff.” Those items included:

IDOT

(Continued from A1) But after Hendricks quit, IDOT put the hammer down on the county. In the June 1 email from Lora Rensing, project implementation engineer and interim local roads engineer with IDOT District 8, she stated, “it is critical that the county engineer position be filled permanently ASAP. However, in the interim, the county MUST have a temporary county engineer assigned. IDOT must approve of the temporary assignment.” “The district will not be authorizing expenditures of Motor Fuel Tax Funds for Greene County until this issue is resolved,” Rensing added. The county named

Mike Schmidt, who has been an employee with the Highway Department for 30 years, as acting county highway engineer at the June 9 board meeting. IDOT has yet to give their approval of Schmidt as the acting engineer nor release the MFT funds for the county. A special personnel committee meeting was called for Monday, June 14, for the discussion of possibly hiring a county highway engineer. While the meeting immediately went into closed session, the only person in attendance, other than board members, was former County Engineer David Marth. Following this meeting, it was announced that a

special board meeting had been called for Friday, June 18. The only two items on the agenda for this meeting were the county highway engineer appointment and a resolution regarding the FOP grievance discussion. After an hour-long closed session, the board announced that no action had been taken. Even though Marth retired, he could still work 1,000 hours for the county without affecting his retirement. This averages out to roughly 20 hours per week. Marth retired from the county to take a position with Volker Consulting Group beginning in January. He announced his retirement in October giving the county two months

to find his replacement. Marth actually remained in contact with the county through his new firm as the county signed a contract with Volker to provide needed engineering services to help the county finish construction on a bridge that was under construction located on the Walkerville/ Bluffdale Township line. Because the state has money invested in the bridge, they required the county to have an engineer

to sign off on it. The contract provided the services of Marth or lower-level engineers, as needed, on the project. It also provided for Marth to do bridge inspections. Over the six months of the contract, the county saved roughly $40,000 over what they would have paid Marth as an employee of the county. At the May meeting, Hendricks presented the amount the county paid to Volker in

the six months Marth has been gone. On the bridge project, the county spent a little over $19,000 on engineering fees. For bridge inspections, the fee came to $17,000 but since only three of the bridges were on county property, the county’s portion of that amount is only around $1,000, so the total engineering fees the county has paid in the last six months is right around $20,000.

Grill uncovered over medium heat, for 6 minutes, turning once. Baste with reserved marinade, Grill 5 to 10 minutes longer until chicken is done and peppers crisp tender, basting frequently. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. This recipe calls for toasting sesame seeds. It’s a step I sometimes skip, and the last time

However, toasting the seeds make them crunchier and JLYH D QXWWLHU ÀDYRU 7KHUH DUH several ways to toast the seeds. Arrange the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet, bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Or you can toast them on the stove.

OBITUARIES

Lois A. Vinyard

Lois A. Vinyard, of Greenfield, IL was called to her heavenly home to be with Jesus, on June 12, 2021. She was the oldest child born, to Lewis A. and Mildred (Manker) Hall on August 21, 1935. She married Athen A. Vinyard, Jr. on June 4, 1953. He was the love of her life. Their union blessed them with four children: Mike (son Bradley) Vinyard; Joe (Cherie) Vinyard; Deon (Sherry Klose) all of Greenfield, IL and Tammy Longmeyer (John Cribbett) of Auburn, IL. Lois was known to her family and friends as Lolo and she had the ability to light up the room as she spoke about her children and grandchildren: BJ (Ashley) Vinyard of Carlinville, IL; Cody (Morgan) Vinyard of Greenfield, IL; Patrick (Brooke Duea)Longmeyer of Jacksonville, IL; Paige Vinyard of Carlinville, IL and Brooke (Shane) Greenwood of Alexander, IL. She had four step grandchildren: Fred Cribbett of Ingleside, IL; Amy (Steven) Hobbs of WinstonSalem, N.C.; Andy (Shelly) Cribbett of Harvel, IL; and Alyssa (Derek) Williams of Scottville, IL. Great-grandma Lolo will be missed by Cade, Chloe, Claire, Cash, Dean, Landon, Tate, Gracie, Brynlee and step-great-grandchild: Bianca, Ellie, Maddy, Suzette, Hannah Mae, Riley and Khloe. As

each new baby was born, she would beam and show pictures. She also had a special place in her heart for all her AWANA kiddos. She would tell stories about them after hearing them read their bible versus and the cute things they would say and do. Lois had four siblings: Charles (Wanda) Hall (deceased); JoAnn (Gene) Shelton (deceased); Paul (Norma) Hall of Caruthersville, MO and Ronnie (Kelly) Hall of Greenfield, IL. She has a sister-in-law: Kay Reno of Jerseyville, IL. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Junior, brother Charlie; sister Jo Ann; sisters-in-law: Edna Plogger; Mary Costello; Aggie Piper; Kelly Hall and brothers-in-law: Herbie Vinyard and George Vinyard. Lois worked at the Smokehouse; Lolo’s Place and Vinyard Plumbing and Heating. She enjoyed watching sporting events of her grandchildren, tending her flowers, listening to the birds on her patio, dancing and singing. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Greenfield, IL. She loved singing at every service she was able to attend. She was a joy to watch, as the songs came from her heart. She was a member of the Mary Martha Mission Circle and attended the “Builders” Sunday School Class. She loved her savior and

witnessed that love throughout her life. Lois’ legacy will remain in the church, with the quilt she hand-stitched. Each family’s name is on its own individual block and she sewn all with Praise to the Lord. She enjoyed listening to her family members in “4 His Glory” and “The Longmeyer Band”. She always chair-danced and sang along. She also cherished the time she spent with her sister, as they would yard sale and shop at DG. Lois would try on every hat that had “bling” and make Jo Ann laugh. Lois will be missed by her family, nieces, nephews and numerous friends. A celebration of Lois’ life will be held at a later date, with interment to follow. Donations may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or BJC Hospice. The Shields-Bishop Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Please leave a memory or online condolence at shields-bishopfh.com

the leaders of our nation in your prayers. Others to remember include Gerald and Junia Day, Connie Sturgeon, Lois Hart, Judy and Josh Cannon, Jennifer Hoots, Shari Selleck, Doug Norris, Karla Cannon, Delores Cannon, Brian and Molly Taylor, Pam Taylor, Mandy Friedrich, Chuck Roberts, Brenn Killion, Linda Brown, Carolyn Ogle, Baby LJ, Brad Fundel, Julie Bolanger, Sandy Griffin and Kevin Hardwick.

During morning worship, several shared stories about their dads. Bro. Bill Martin and Kathy Newingham sang “Now I Belong to Jesus,” and Rich Caskey sang “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” That’s all for this week. Have a good week and enjoy the much cooler weather we are expecting.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle – 217-4731892: Happy Fathers Day to all fathers everywhere. We started our Sunday morning with a doughnut and coffee fellowship before our morning worship time. I always enjoy watching and listening to the family of God visiting and chatting with one another. Our message this morning was titled, “Five reasons we struggle to be a friend of sinners.” Since we are called to follow Jesus, it should be our goal to be a friend of sinners as well. When we get so wrapped up in what is known as the “Christian bubble,” we soon forget what it feels like to be “without hope and without God in the world.” Read Ephesians 2:12. Sometimes we’ve forgotten how much God loves the

world; John 3:16. We’ve filled our schedules too full. We must learn not to pack our schedule so full of good things, that we don’t have time for the best things. Leave spaces in your schedule to be a friend and have real conversations with people who are far from God. We have lost sight of how to connect authentically with others. Sometimes, we can get so busy rushing about life, that we go months without deeply connecting with others. It’s important to shift gears, slow down and connect deeply with others, including those who are outside the church. We’ve forgotten how to be hospitable. One of the best meaningful ways to connect deeply with others is through hospitality and sharing meals together. We come across as too condemning. If we spend

too much of our energy on social media berating culture, we can seem unapproachable and harsh. People outside the church should see the love, compassion and grace of Jesus in our tone online and offline. One young leader has stated, “Jesus must’ve known how to balance truth and love, because he definitely spoke the truth, and he still got invited to the parties.’’ Our recent prayer requests are for George Campbell, Dee’s brother, David, who was injured in a fall this week, Judy, Tracy, Marty, Dan’s Sister who lost her house in a flood, Vera and Bob, Janet, Debbie and Diane’s mother. We invite you to join us each Sunday morning at 10:30 for our worship time and Wednesday evening Bible study at 6:30 p.m.

Hillview Baptist Church news Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Birthdays: Larry Staats We are thankful for all the visitors who were at church this morning; you are always welcome. Announcements: Don’t forget the Block Party Saturday, June 26, at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weather permitting, at the park in Hillview. VBS is July 5-9 at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. SCBA Youth camp for grades 7-12th is July

18-23. Camp forms are due by July 1. Children’s camp for grades 3-6 is July 26-30. Message: II Timothy 4: 1-8, Paul is still writing to Timothy from jail. This is his last letter. Paul warns about false teachers. He wants everyone to know about God. He has suffered many things for Christ. He wants the word of God preached. We are blessed to have the entire Bible to read today.

Back then, they did not. In Romans, it says, “The wages of sin is death.” We have a God and Savior who loves us and will save, forgive, us for our sins if we only confess and ask forgiveness. When was the last time you told someone about Jesus’ forgiveness? It is our duty as Christians to tell others of God’s love for them. You are welcome to worship with us in Hillview.

On Having a Humble Opinion of Oneself “Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.” Proverbs 16:19 NIV

ur egos are fragile things. How easy it is to have our egos bruised simply by someone pointing out some flaw that we have. Unfortunately, most of us have plenty of flaws, and if our friends and family members, not to mention our coaches, teachers and coworkers are honest with us, they will sometimes point them out. Instead of getting upset about this, we should really thank them and consider how we might work on these flaws. The truth is, most of our friends and family members don’t know the half of it when it comes to our flaws. Besides the obvious ones, most of us also have hidden flaws that run deep. And even our positive attributes often stem from some

character flaw. I may consider myself a simple man with simple tastes and say that I am frugal when in fact I’m really just a cheapskate. We often make a virtue out of necessity, and all of this is just to say that we ought to have a very humble opinion of ourselves. Thinking that others are better than ourselves, even when they are not, is a good way to avoid having your ego bruised. –Christopher Simon

Carrollton Trap Team lands 7th at state tournament Local shooter a state champion

The Carrollton High School Trap Team completed their season by participating in the Illinois State High School Clay Target League (ISHSCTL) State Tournament held at Brittany Shooting Park in Bunker Hill on June 5. The clay target league is a virtual competition between schools that runs from April 1 through May 31 each year. Participating schools shoot at a local gun range of their choosing and then scores are entered onto the league website by the head coaches and compared with other teams around the state. There was a total of 45 teams that participated in the spring league this year. The league concludes the season with the end of the year state tournament. Carrollton’s Varsity trap team finished with a combined 471/500 targets and landed them in seventh place. Varsity shooter Kyle Coats was one of five shooters in the state that ended the day with a perfect score of 100/100 and tied for the 2021 state champion. Carrollton’s Novice trap team, which mostly consists of new shooters, ended

More than 1,800 students were named to Bradley’s Dean’s List for Spring 2021, and among that lot was one local student. To be eligible for the Dean’s List, a student must achieve a minimum 3.5 grade point average for the

semester on a 4.0 scale. The local student on the dean’s list was Kennedy Ruyle of Carrollton, who is majoring in kinesiology and health science. Bradley University is a private university in Peoria.

Local named to Mizzou Dean’s List

More than 10,900 University of Missouri students earned academic distinction, and among that lot was Carrollton’s Allie Danielle Schmidt, a sophomore with a degree in the Discovery Center.

The University of Missouri Spring Semester 2021 Dean’s List is now available. During the Spring 2021 semester, 10,962 undergraduate students earned the academic distinction to be named to the Dean’s List.

North Greene changes insurance brokers By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press While it might be much easier to let one company shop for the best and cheapest insurance carrier for the various forms of insurance a district must carry, sometimes that broker might not be the cheapest option. The North Greene School District did some shopping around amongst the different insurance brokers who provide these services and approved switching from Prairie State Insurance Cooperative. “By making this switch, this is going to save the district about $48,000 this first year,” Superintendent Mark Scott said. “They are the main company, but they subcontract all the other insurances.” The board has decided to redo the way cheerleading tryouts are held. At an athletic committee meeting held earlier in the month, Scott discussed with committee members how unfair it was that cheerleading tryouts were held at the end of the school year for the beginning of the next school year. “We would have cheerleading tryouts and have the cheer coach select the team for the

next year and then have a new coach come in a week or two later and they wouldn’t even have a part in the tryouts, and that just didn’t make sense to us,” Scott said. “So, now, they will have tryouts after the May board meeting for football season, and then after registration in August, they will have tryouts for basketball season, which will give them plenty of time to get their uniforms and everything.” The board continues to discuss how they are going to spend some of the almost $2.2 million in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding they will receive from the federal government. “We talked about doing some upgrades at the junior/ senior high by turning two classrooms in the 1957 wing into STEM classrooms,” Scott said. “Make them more of a hands-on classroom where you have sinks – more like a science lab instead of just a classroom, which we never had in that part of the building. The 2002 addition we have some nice high school science labs. They are also talking about making a computer lab down there maybe with a 3D

Locals among University of Illinois Springfield 2021 graduates

A total of 1,030 students earned degrees from the University of Illinois Springfield at the conclusion of the spring semester on May 15, 2021, pending completion of university requirements, and among those graduates were several locals. They are: Carrollton – Lauren Ann Denny with a bachelor in medical laboratory sciences

and Kyle E. Kesinger with an MA in accountancy. White Hall – Marisa Jai Barber with a bachelor in social work. Roodhouse – Heather Staats with an MA in educational leadership. Greenfield – Justin Ford with a bachelor in accountancy and Christopher Jerome Mayhall with an MBA in business administration.

printer and upgrading technology in one room and putting a chemistry lab in the other.” The high school library they are looking at turning into a dual-purpose room. “We are looking at trying to make it into a band and chorus room as well when it is not being used as a library if we decide to bring band and chorus back to the junior/senior high,” Scott said. “We cut both band and chorus a couple of years ago, and if we do decide to bring it back, we would need a room to hold it in.” The board also talked about bringing music back at the elementary level, as well as the art program. “We would also like to bring back band, music and art at the elementary school,” Scott said. “We are trying to look for an art teacher.” Other projects include possibly redoing the floors in the multipurpose room at the elementary school and abating the asbestos tile and put-

ting down some new flooring, as well as looking at ADA accessibility in that building and making it more handicap accessible. Then, there is the issue with the boilers at the unit office, the former White Hall grade school, which need replaced before winter. Those boilers will have to be in place before winter because the board renewed their contract with the Regional Office of Education to hold the ACE school in the building for another year. Scott said it will be September or October before the rooftop air conditioning units are put in place at the high school because they cannot get the microchips and processors for the units. The board approved several new hires. They include: Celeste Jackson, full-time bus driver; Logan Guthrie, elementary custodian; Alexandria Callier, special education teacher and Jessica Corbil, high school English teacher.

Finally back to normal The sign that the county is finally getting back to normal happened last week with the first salad luncheon. The Carrollton First Baptist Church held a salad luncheon, possibly the first in the county since the pandemic hit more than a year ago. The only thing different was that masked workers spooned the salads onto customers' plates instead of letting them do it themselves. Here, Sharon Butler helps out a hungry patron who is just starting out at the beginning of the line.

Dairy Bar goes mobile By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Don’t expect to see an ice cream truck playing catchy music going up and down the streets of Carrollton, but the Dairy Bar does have a mobile ice cream truck now that they will be setting up at major events such as the Greene County Fair, wedding receptions, food truck events and any other event that customers are willing to book them into. It is something that has been two years in the making, according to Dairy Bar owners Shaana and Ken Gray. They made the announcement that the truck was up and ready to roll last week via a social media video. “We originally had the idea in the summer of 2019, and so we kind of started looking online for trucks to buy,” Shaana Gray said. “We ended up finding one in Doe Run, Mo. It was parked in a field with a bunch of other junk cars. We had to have it towed to the nearest town, took it to a mechanic, and it turned out it just needed a little bit of a tune-up to get it up and running and some new tires, so we did that and brought it home.” The Grays fully intended to debut the ice cream truck in the spring of 2020, but it just wasn’t in the cards. “Our plan was to get it ready in the early spring and then start going to food truck festivals and wedding receptions in 2020, and then, the pandemic hit and so there really weren’t any food truck festivals to go to, and even weddings were kind of put on hold or really so small,” Gray

said. “So, we decided it wouldn’t be a good time to pursue the venture, so we let it sit for a while. Then, this spring we decided to go ahead and try it. We were just waiting for things to open back up.” Gray said they contracted Sign Magic out of Bethalto to paint the truck for them and do the vinyl lettering for them. The only thing really left to do was to install an air conditioner, which needed to be done before their very first big event – the Greene County Fair. “Kenny and some of the other guys have been feverishly working to get it ready for the fair,” Gray said. “They installed one of those camper-type RV AC units in the back and are also doing a little more plumbing and electri-

cal work on it. Then, we will add the freezer and be ready for the fair.” Gray said the truck came with a couple of soft serve machines, but starting out, they will be serving handdipped cones. “The reason we are going with hand-dipped to start out with is that the machines take a 220 amp hookup and a lot of places won’t have that,” she said. “So, starting out, we just decided we are just going to keep it simple and do handdipped cups and cones and specialty sundaes.” Any doubt about people wanting to book the ice cream truck was quickly dispelled. “I have been bombarded with calls and messages wanting to have it at different events,” Gray said. “I already have it booked

throughout the summer – even an event in December. I am totally surprised. I guess I did not expect to have that many different events want it. I am excited but nervous also.” As for the reason they decided to do the truck, Gray said that was a very good question. “Honestly, I think it was just because food truck fairs and festivals have become a lot more popular, and we thought it would be really fun and a really cool addition to some of the events,” she said. “There are no ice cream trucks anywhere that we know of other than one in St. Louis. That, and I think we just thought it would be kind of fun to go mobile with the Dairy Bar. Also, because there is nothing else like it around here.”

Winner winner, chicken dinner Let’s hope this bird, after winning Best of Show in the 4-H Poultry Division at the Greene County Fair for Liam Albrecht, doesn’t go home to a pot full of boiling hot water and end the evening as the main course. He deserves to at least strut around the barnyard for a day or two clucking about the ribbon and trophy he and Albrecht won Saturday at the 4-H Show.

ISP’s Firearms Services Bureau, Investigative Support Unit (ISU) and the Macoupin County State’s Attorney Jordan Garrison charged CCL Instructor Terry Lumma, a 60-year-old female from Shipman with forgery, a Class 3 felony, and providing false conceal carry weapon certification, a Class A misdemeanor. “The Illinois State Police takes these types of allegations seriously and will investigate those who attempt to defraud the system and bring them

to justice,” said ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly. In December 2020, the ISP FSB received a complaint against Lumma. The complaint stated Lumma was not teaching the CCL classes, according to CCL law. After a five-month investigation, the FSB investigators found evidence to support the allegations of the complaint. The case was presented to the Macoupin County State’s Attorney Jordan Garrison, who made the determination to file criminal charges. Lumma was charged with forgery and providing false CCW certification. Lumma was mailed a notice to appear and is scheduled to appear at the Macoupin County courthouse on June 23 at 8:45 a.m. Because of this investigation, the ISP FSB determined that all the concealed carry certification courses hosted by Lumma failed to satisfy the

mandatory requirements for concealed carry firearm training set forth in the CCL Act. As a result, training certificates issued to over 200 students by Lumma and submitted to the ISP as part of their CCL application have been deemed invalid. All of these students were sent letters notifying them of their status and are being provided a grace period of 60 days from receipt of the letter to complete the requirements for a new, valid CCL. During the 60-day period, the ISP will deem the CCL holder as valid, if the CCL is otherwise in good standing. In accordance with state law, qualified instructors are required to teach all applicants, who are not eligible for prior training credit, a minimum of 16 hours of instruction approved by the Illinois State Police prior to issuing an Illinois Concealed Carry License Training Certification.

Communication grant for Jersey sheriff’s office to benefit Greene By CONNOR ASHLOCK

Greene Prairie Press

Sheriff Mike Ringhausen has announced that the Jersey County Sheriff ’s Office has received a $150,000 grant through the help of Representative CD Davidsmeyer ’s (R-Jacksonville) office that will aid in upgrading telecommunication devices used by dispatchers and law enforcement from an analog system to a more effective digital system. Funding for the grant comes from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and is expected to benefit not only Jersey County, but Greene and Calhoun counties as a result. According to Ringhausen, a significant amount of funds will go toward upgrading radio towers in and around Jersey County, as well as other towers that have radio equipment installed on them. There are currently two radio towers in Jersey County that the sheriff’s office relies on for radio reception, the tower located in the parking lot on the west side of the Jersey County Courthouse and the tower located in the vicinity of Pere Marquette State Park. Additionally, three other towers are equipped with radio equipment suited for the analog system that will be replaced thanks to the grant, namely the Medora

water tower, a tower located at Principia College and the Hardin tower located on Rocky Hill in Calhoun County. “It will greatly reduce the amount of dead space where deputies aren’t getting good reception to holler for help,” Ringhausen said. “If [neighboring law enforcement agencies] get in a car chase, we may not even know they’re coming this way. If they’ve hollered for help, we don’t know it. Going digital brings us a safer line of communication with our surrounding agencies.” Calhoun and Greene counties are already equipped with digital technology, but with Jersey County lagging behind with its current analog system, it makes communication between the departments difficult. This poses a significant problem to law enforcement, not only for their safety, but for assistance in the rural regions of the Tri-County area, as Jersey County’s current analog system also limits the amount of radio coverage that exists in the border areas of the county. Currently, dead space is found in various areas scattered in the DelhiBrighton region in the southeast end of the county, as well as around the Medora-Kemper area near the Greene-Jersey county line. There is also a concerning amount of dead space

in the northwestern portion of Jersey County around the area encompassing Fieldon, Spankey and Reddish Ford. This area, in particular, is of pressing interest because roads in the area connect between all three counties. According to data that was collected for the grant, the equipment upgrades to the five towers in and around the county will potentially remove much of the dead space that exists under the analog system, and not only dead space in Jersey County, but dead space in Calhoun, Greene and even Madison counties as well. More specifically, the new towers are expected to remove a significant amount of dead space in west-central and southwestern portions of Calhoun County, particularly around the area encompassing the communities of Gilead, Batchtown, Beechville and Golden Eagle. Portions of the north-

central region of Calhoun County will also be somewhat improved. Major improvement is expected to occur throughout the entire southern half of Greene County below Apple Creek, including the areas surrounding Rockbridge, Kane, Woody, Carrollton and Eldred. Ringhausen expressed that he is very excited for these changes to come and hope that they will impact not only Jersey County, but the whole region for the better. “We’ll have the same radio network as other counties, so it will be better to communicate with them in areas that are detrimental to law and life,” Ringhausen said. Ringhausen reported that he is especially excited for the increase in safety this will potentially provide for deputies. “It will help with communication in that if they need help, they’ll be able to get it out better,” Ringhausen said.

Touch a Truck with dad Most of the time he is referred to as White Hall Police Chief Luke Coultas, but here, he is simply “Dad” to four-year-old daughter Lucy as the two check out the inside of the White Hall Fire Department fire truck during the Touch a Truck event at Whiteside Park Saturday. The event was sponsored by the White Hall Police Department and featured emergency vehicles from all over the area for the children to “touch” and even sit in if they wanted.
