CSI reveals agreement with consulting firm

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press In an effort to always remain open and transparent, the Carrollton Square Initiative made public the agreement drawn up between the CSI and Vandewalle and Associates, Inc. from Madison, Wisc.

The project contains two phases and four major tasks within Phase 1 that Vandewalle will include in their services.

In the first phase, Vandewalle will assist the Carrollton leadership to prepare an opportunity analysis and downtown vision plan for the streets surrounding the town square, including the crossroads of Highway 108 and Highway 67.

“We have always leased them in the past but these days very few auto dealerships want to go with a nine-month lease,� Greenfield Superintendent Kevin Bowman said. “They prefer school districts just buy their own so that is what we decided to do.�

Bowman said overall the district puts between 7,000 to 8,000 miles on the car a year. “At that rate, you can keep the car for 10 years and still have low enough mileage on it that it still has some trade in value,� he said. “Plus, we are not scrambling every year to try to get a car all the time.�

The district purchased a Ford Fusion SE Sedan from Morrow Brothers Ford in Greenfield at a cost of $22,900.

Carrollton Square Initiative holds forum for local business owners

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Members of the Carrollton Square Initiative (CSI) held a Business Forum recently at Copper Stills and Mash, making two very big announcements.

CSI Advisor Pat Pinkston announced that the City of Carrollton has been approved for the USDA Rural Business Development Grant that it had applied for on behalf of the CSI. However, they did not receive the full amount applied for in the matching grant. The city had applied for $65,000 but was notified they were approved for only $30,500.

The second announcement was that the CSI had approved a contract with Vandewalle and Associates to complete an overall community opportunity study for the city. “They are telling us it will take about four months to get that done,�

Pinkston said. “The intent would be to work through this activity with them and by the end of this year hopefully have a list of opportunities and projects that the city, county, businesses and others can take on that we can plan to do for 2020 and beyond.�

About two dozen business owners were in attendance at the meeting, some of them wanting to know more

about the CSI. “We got you here because you (business owners) are the ones who have demonstrated you can get things done,� Pinkston said. “You are the ones who can take risks. What we are asking you to do is to be engaged with us. To be a part of this team that is going to help carry Carrollton into the future – define Carrollton’s future.�

Current CSI board members include: Nick Graham, Clara Hamel, Justin Hamel, Gordon Rahe, Scott Rhoades and Alfonso Sasieta.

Jennifer Russell, Community and Economic Development Educator at the University of Illinois, is also an

adviser, along with Pinkston.

Those in attendance were asked to identify ideas and projects they would like to see taken on in Carrollton.

Some of those are: Q Sidewalk improvement including new, wider sidewalks, ADA compliant sidewalks and handrails to help people get from parking to main sidewalk.

Q Adding more parking around the square district and even rearranging square parking, handicap parking in front of health care and senior facilities.

Greenfield’s hidden gem – the Nature Center

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Being an ag teacher and FFA sponsor at Greenfield High School, it is only natural that Beth Burrow has a love of nature. So with the old amphitheatre at Rives Lake just sitting empty most of the time since the new pavilions were built, her business ag class came up with the idea of turning it into a nature center. “I always want my students to think about what are some of the different things they can do for their community and most of them really like nature,�

Burrow said. “This Nature Center was something they thought the kids of the community might benefit from.�

That’s all well and good, but it takes money to start something new. “Last year we applied for a grant to help enclose the building because it only had three sides, but we got turned down,� Burrow said. “However, I had some students that were very passionate about it so we started a Go Fund Me page and raised enough money to get it closed in.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

God inspires us with nature I have often said God inspired two books. The book of nature and the Bible.

Even though this two-book thought scares some of my Christian friends, it’s really easy to defend. David, the revered king of Israel wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech; they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” What he was saying was, God authored the book we call nature, and that he inspired it to tell us some things about Himself.

It was Paul, the writer of most of the New Testament, who said, “For ever since the

world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.

Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature.” What he too was saying was, God authored the book we call nature, and he inspired it to reveal some things about Himself. Paul, however, made an additional point. It was this. “So, they have no excuse for not knowing God.” His point was, there’s no excuse for remaining unsure. While we may wish God would reveal himself in more direct ways, He has given us enough to do the job. And for those of us who enjoy the outdoors, we are given these proofs in waves. The longer we are among nature, the more we are engulfed by the evidences for the existence

of God and for his qualities, power, and nature. Among all others, WE, in the hunting/fishing community, are the most without excuse. As a result, the least likely place to find an atheist would be in our ranks. We watch the skies proclaim the work of his hands. The question however is this. “What’s the purpose in knowing?” While knowing is better than not knowing; just knowing about something doesn’t necessarily add anything significant our life. But knowing about God DOES bring something significant to one’s life. It brings a contemplation beyond ourselves.

It causes us to think outside our own world. It causes us to think about something deeper than mere existence.

The purpose of knowing is to find purpose in our knowing.

It is to understand when God

revealed Himself to us, it was so that we might unders t a n d we are in God’s mind and in His plan. And if I am in God’s plan in such a way as He would write the book of nature in order to connect with me; I must be a special part of that plan. And you are too.

––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years. He also speaks at game dinners and men’s groups for churches and associations. You can contact him at gary@outdoortruths.org.

Consulting (Continued from A1) resources, assets, geographic location and the presence of existing companies including corporate partners,” Graham said. “What comes from this task will be an Opportunity and Analysis map/ graphic and a Downtown Opportunities Vision Graphic that can be used as standalone communication tools.”

From this they will prepare an Assets and Opportunities Analysis memo to include key assets currently located in the downtown area, including Carrollton’s role and market position within the context of the regional economy.

They will also prepare an illustrated Asset/Opportunity Map and a Downtown Opportunities Vision graphic in addition to hosting a tele/web conference to present the draft Opportunity Analysis to the Steering Committee.

The third task contains the Downtown Vision, Business Mix and Design Elements Plan Document. This will contain: Q Three to five larger goals and outcomes tied to Carrollton’s regional and geographic location.

Q Prepare Downtown Analysis Map to include physical analysis and urban design recommendations, such as streetscape enhancements and architectural goals to create a cohesive downtown experience.

Q Identify up to two key development opportunities and prepare preliminary sketches of redevelopment potential or existing building renovations.

Q Identify two to three assets that build on Carrollton’s small town character and recommend positioning and marketing strategies based on placemaking best practices.

Q Identify a few targeted business opportunities that would help create an economically sustainable downtown and attract new visitors.

Q Identify five to seven specific projects for implementation such as livability enhancements, connections, streetscape improvements, ordinance modifications and, facade improvements focused around the square. Then prepare design concepts that could include public spaces, connections, streetscapes, parking areas, gathering places, etcetera.

Q Outline within the implementation action list, potential implementation structure and responsibilities.

Q Align projects/recommendations with preliminary funding strategies, such as potential grants, foundations, district and others, particularly rural and ag focused programs.

Q Host a tele/web conference to present the draft Opportunity Analysis and Downtown Vision Plan to the Steering Committee.

The fourth and final task of Phase 1 will be to present this draft document at a meeting of the Steering Committee or at a public meeting.

Phase 2 is the Development Implementation and Project Management (Future Phase).

“After the Opportunity Analysis and Downtown Vision plan is completed, Vandewalle offers a variety of services to support implementation of projects and strategies developed during the visioning and planning stage,” Graham said. “They are known to excel at the implementation stage of projects and plan with execution or projects at the top of the list.”

Some of the additional services Vandewalle could offer include: Q Project management and implementation of key catalytic projects.

Q Recruiting development opportunities to match priorities identified in the planning process.

Q Identifying funding and help to write grants, working closely with current partners, such as University of Illinois Extension, Lewis and Clark Community College or others.

“We look forward to Vandewalle’s insight to actively start engaging the community in this process,” Graham said.

“We hope that through this process we will be collectively shaping a vision for the future of Carrollton.”

For that, there needs to be more input from residents.

“A key part of that will be to engage the broader community,” Pinkston said.

“One of our goals is to hold at least three public forums,” Pinkston said. “This meeting would not be included in those goals because I think it needs to be a broader group that we engage so we need to engage with the public.”

Pinkston said they have also engaged with a planning and design group to at least provide a proposal for the library.

“The Library Board, as they get more informed, will have to decide if they are going to go forward with that and when,” Pinkston said. “But the CSI is trying to help with the funding for that.”

The library already provides many services for the community but it needs renovation and made ADA compliant.

It is a classic structure, built with funding provide by Andrew Carnegie, and has opportunities to provide even more services to the community.

The CSI would like to see the library transformed into a community services and meeting center which would enhance opportunities for engagement and interaction on the square.

Nick Graham said Carrollton already has a lot to offer, but sometimes those closest fail to see the opportunities in front of them.

“One of the interesting things we have been noticing is that sometimes it is those in your own community who takes the most to sell,” he said. “When others come visit they think it is wonderful.”

There is a changing narrative of what small towns in rural America are perceived as.

“When we talk about creating this community, we discuss this exciting place to live, to work and to visit for the global market,” Graham said. “Because often we have this image of a Hollywood movie vision of a small town – the great love story at the end – and that is what they still look and see today.”

However, that is not the reality.

“But often it is those that are living

the struggle day and day out to do what it takes to not only live in a rural community but also try to sustain a business here and to support their family,” Graham said. “We know that often that is not quite the case bus sometimes we get in our own way because its difficult to see what we already have.”

For example, Carrollton is located close to two major markets. It is one hour away from St. Louis and 90 minutes away from the state capital of Springfield.

“Vandewalle said ‘you have this rural community but you have two very large markets right on your doorstep.’ We don’t even see that,” Graham said. “So we asked them ‘so how far out do you reach?’ Their response was quick – two hours – if you can get there in two hours you can claim it.”

But to succeed, the CSI needs the support of everyone in the community.

“We need your support in the form of leadership, we need your ideas but we also need your financial support,” Pinkston said. “We have already had people step up in this community with commitments for financial support – we have $35,000 pledged so far and we have several other folks out there who are considering supporting us. But we also have an obligation to match the $30,500 for the grant. But we are still short of being able to fund both Vandewalle and the library study so we will continue to ask for your financial support as well.”

There are numerous ways one can support the CSI. They include: Q Promote growth of local businesses Q Help with library redevelopment Q Encourage city leaders to support all ideas and to advance the city.

Q Help with communications between city, CSI and citizens.

Q Contribute financially.

Q Public information and outreach Q Help promote all city aspects – business social, family.

Q Continued involvement and support Q Supply work support.

Q Organize, fundraise and help with strategic planning.

Square (Continued from A1) Q New lighting, the addition of gas lamps around the square.

Q Remodel the square, giving it a more modern look to cityscapes.

Q Landscape the courthouse and around the square, adding blooming plants on main streets, square and corridor.

Q Bicycle and walking path.

Q Outdoor seating at restaurants.

Q Creative arts center and programs.

Q Encourage a more positive business atmosphere.

Q Community picnic.

Q Green space/sitting area near/adjacent to square leading/next to bike path.

Q More whole town businesses working together on different shopping projects.

Q Update buildings.

“This is not something that is going to happen in a week or in a month,” Pinkston said. “This takes years and years and it takes a sustained commitment. We have been at this awhile already. We kicked it off in April of 2018.”

One of the things they did, as a group, was set goals for 2019. Many of those goals have already been completed, such as submitting for the Rural Development Grant and engaging Vandewalle and Associates to do the community opportunity study.

Goals yet to be completed include: Q Complete the opportunity study for the library with the Library Board.

Q Hold at least three public forums for input and engagement with the CSI. Q Initiate a TIF district.

Q Define façade standards and initiate façade support program.

Q Facilitate city planning for zoning and potential expansion of city limits.

Q Prioritize and plan 2020 projects with CSI, the city and county.

“Engaging the consultant was an important step,” Pinkston said. “I think after our trip to Mt. Horeb and seeing what they did for that community we all came away convinced that Vandewalle can help us to find what the path is toward our future.”

The team ended up with six All State Trap team members and three in regular trap shooting. They also received first in the Trap Conference and at the state level, received third in Trap and second in Skeet. They were tied for second in Trap but lost the tie breaker and ended up with third place.

“This is only the second year for the program and they have had a really successful year,” Bowman said. “They had 13 students on this year’s team and I always kind of like to see such success when we start a new sport.”

FFA and ag teacher Beth Burrow was presented a plaque of appreciation from Greenfield Mayor Nick Bishop and Councilman David Bishop for all the things she and her classes do for the Greenfield community.

Bowman said that due to a change in Illinois State Law, the board will no longer have to pass the Prevailing Wage Act each and every year.

“They have changed that and now public bodies aren’t required to do it anymore,” he said. “The Prevailing Wage schedule will be published on the Illinois Department of Labor website so we no longer have to publish it in the newspaper. Everyone always got upset that they had to approve it anyway since we really have no say in the matter in the first place.”

Following closed session, the board approved the threeyear notification of retirement for Toni Longmeyer and Pam Armold. Longmeyer has been with the district for more than 30 years and Armold more than 25.

They also hired two teacher’s aides – Judy Cole and Kathleen Larson – and accepted the resignation of pee wee boys basketball coach Roshier Creecy.

There will be no board meeting in July.

Testament. It’s written to the children of Israel.We are told to take joy during trials because trials produce endurance and strength. We need to have true joy so people around us can see our faith. It’s easy to have joy when everything is going well, but we need to praise God even when we have trials. Faith is something we don’t talk about much. When we are first saved we want to lean on some-

thing, but later we learn to lean on God. God promises to take care of us and He will. We need to take time to share our testimony with others. We need to ask God for wisdom. Wisdom is how we grow. God calls us to have faith and believe He is going to do what we are asking. When we pray we are putting it in the hands of the Almighty God. When you pray do you pray expecting God to answer?

A Spirit of Abundance “Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.”

Deuteronomy 15:10 NIV

W

hile it is wise to save something for a rainy day, it is foolish to live poorly in order to die rich. Money is a means to an end, and not an end in itself. The value of money lies in what it can do to improve our lives and the lives of those around us, which is why people who live too frugally may regret not having spent more of their money on things which could have benefitted themselves and their loved ones. On the other hand, we will not regret having saved money for future needs; you rarely hear people say they wish they had saved less. But we can be frugal to the point of miserliness and miss out on opportunities to enjoy the use of our money. God wants us to work and be productive: “All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” (Proverbs 14:23 NIV) There is much to be said for working hard, saving some money, and doing as much good as possible

with what we have. But it is all too easy to fall into the trap of seeking monetary gain as an end in itself: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV) Reflect prayerfully on your habits concerning money. Are you working and saving enough to take care of yourself and your family? Are you also being generous with your money? Are you being frugal, but not miserly?

Carlinville Area Hospital pledges to ‘All Cavies on Turf’

Carlinville Area Hospital recently pledged $25,000 ($5,000 annually for 5 years) to support the community wide effort to fund the “All Cavies on Turf� project. The project, which is to be paid for in its entirety by third-party contributions, was approved to begin the fundraising stage of development at the February 11, 2019 School Board meeting.

The project involves installing a durable grass-like sports surface to cover the grounds within the borders of the Carlinville High School track. This turf field would not only serve as a new and improved playing field for both football and soccer; it could additionally function as a dry practice surface for the baseball and softball teams and an even marching surface for students in the marching band, as well as offer more opportunities for students in physical education classes to exercise and play games outdoors.

Carlinville Area Hospital believes in, and fully supports, a variety of youth related community projects within the

communities we serve. Some recent projects supported by the Hospital include the Carlinville School District Back to School Program which provides backpacks, water bottles and hygiene products for 500 local students, the Lunch Bunch program providing nearly 5,000 meals annually to area families, the Anti-Meth Coalition 3 on 3 basketball tournament and many more. Additionally in the spring, the Hospital pledged to help fund new playground equipment at the Carlinville Primary School. Sponsorships and donations to area programs equal approximately $50,000 annually.

Carlinville Area Hospital appreciates the opportunity to assist the schools in providing excellent facilities for extracurricular activities. “We believe it’s important to encourage the youth of the communities we serve to pursue an active lifestyle and participation in school sponsored athletic programs is one avenue in which to achieve that goal�, Ken Reid, CEO.

Illinois officials caution residents to be aware of Blue-Green Algae As temperatures begin to rise, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Public Health are reminding residents to be cautious if they are planning activities on Illinois lakes and rivers, now and throughout the summer. Water conditions are ideal for blue-green algae growth.

Blue-green algae (also known as cyanobacteria) are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in lakes and streams. Rapid growth of algae is referred to as a “bloom.�

While most blue-green algae are harmless, some can produce toxic chemicals that cause sickness or other health effects in people and pets, depending on the amount and type of exposure.

Sensitive individuals, including young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are most at risk to adverse health effects attributable to algal toxins. Individuals are most often exposed to algal toxins while swimming or participating in other recreational activities in and on the water. The most common routes of exposure are direct skin contact, accidental ingestion of contaminated water, or accidental inhalation of water droplets in the air. Symptoms of exposure to algal toxins include rashes, hives, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, or wheezing. More severe symptoms may result from longer or greater amounts of exposure.

People who plan to recreate in or on Illinois lakes or rivers this summer are

advised to avoid contact with water that: Q looks like spilled, green or blue-green paint; Q has surface scums, mats, or films; Q is discolored or has green-colored streaks; or Q has greenish globs suspended in the water below the surface.

People are also advised to keep children and pets out of the water. Do not allow pets to drink from the water and do not allow them to lick their fur after swimming in water containing a blue-green algae bloom.

If you or your pet has contact with water you suspect may have a blue-green algae bloom, rinse off with clean, fresh water as soon as possible.

Activities near, but not in or on a lake or river, such as camping, picnicking, biking, and hiking are not affected. With all activities, wash your hands before eating if you have had contact with lake water or shore debris.

If you are concerned you have symptoms that are a result of exposure to algal toxins, contact your health care provider or call the Illinois Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. If your pet experiences symptoms that may be a result of exposure, contact your veterinarian.

For additional information about harmful algal blooms, please visit: Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Harmful Algal Bloom website.

Nature Center (Continued from A1) all his expertise in construction and helped us get the wall up and close it in.�

But what is a building without something in it? “The school opened up their old shed of furniture to us so we were able to get the inside furnished and then this year we ended up applying for a couple other grants that we received,� Burrow said. “Through the National FFA Living to Serve we received a $1,200 grant and also a $500 one from a Farm Credit Helping Communities Grow, both of which have helped us finish it up.�

Inside the Nature Center there are numerous aquariums stocked with different animals such as turtles, tree frogs, fish from the lake, crawdads, frogs, etcetera for the kids to see up close and personal. There are also several nature-themed work stations. “We have a lot of activities for the students to do when they are out there,�

Burrow said. “This year, several elementary teachers took their classes out there on a field trip.�

This year the Nature Center also hosted a Summer Ag Camp. “We did activities on different kinds of insects and talked about bees and pollination,� Burrow said. “They planted a pollinator garden to help attract bees and then they also planted some vegetable crops next to the pollinator garden. Hopefully, by the end of the summer they will be able to see some of what they planted.�

The animals are card for by both Burrow and her students. “I typically go out there but I also have some students who volunteer when it is open,� she said.

Currently, the Nature Center is open on Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to noon,

but Burrow said during any event at the lake they will typically be open. “Anytime the city has a big event, our plan is to be open to let more people have the opportunity to see just what it is,�

Burrow said. “So during the Fourth of July Celebration, we will have it open all day. Plus at the BBQ by the Lake. We will have scheduled activities to do with the kids on those days.�

Burrow said she has lots of plans for the future of the Nature Center. “The Department of Natural Resources has a grant available that we could use to purchase some plants because I would like to get a lot of different pollinating plants planted out here,� she said. “We planted some annuals but I would also like to do a little more landscaping.�

She would also like to see it open more. “Our hope for the long run is that we can have it open more frequently during the summer and give more people the opportunity to go through it,� Burrow said. “It gets the kids up and moving and out in nature. Hopefully, it will help them build a respect for nature.�

Burrow did say that it was open, upon request, during the school year. “We keep it open as long as we can during the school year because we have teachers who want to bring their classes out here,� Burrow said. “We don’t have any heat or air conditioning so all of the animals are taken out during the cold winter months.�

Burrow wanted to thank the city of Greenfield for its help. “The city of Greenfield has been tremendous to help us get this going,� she said. “They donated some money to the FFA so I can pay a student to work on Saturday. It gives the kids some spending money which helps them out.�

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Scouting in the garden As summer kicks into high gear we often start to see more pest problems. An important and often overlooked part of pest management is scouting. It can help you figure out what is going on in your garden/landscape and help you determine if you need to take any action to manage any pests that are present (particularly if you are going to be using pesticides). Take a stroll through your landscape at least weekly and be on the look-out for pests and diseases.

While you are scouting, one thing to keep in mind is are there enough pests for it to be worthwhile to treat and is the damage they are causing going to be detrimental? For example, if you have some pests eating your tomato leaves you can wait longer to control them compared to if they are eating the fruit.

Some ornamentals may be in a more visible location (by the front door) where damage is less tolerable than to plants in other areas (in the backyard tucked away in a seldom used corner).

Start by scanning your landscape as a whole. Look for any plants that look out of the ordinary and start by inspecting them a little more closely. A magnifying glass or hand lens may be helpful, especially when looking for smaller pests, but aren't necessary.

Often time’s insects will hide on the undersides of leaves, so going out and flipping over leaves is a good way to scout for insects. Many pest insects like to feed on

young, tender growth, so make sure to take a little extra time when inspecting new shoots.

Insects and diseases will also build up on older leaves of plants as well so make sure to check them out too.

After you have gone out and looked in your garden or landscape at the pests, you need to figure out what they are. Pest identification is important because it will help determine potential management techniques.

Some pests may not cause much damage and management may not be warranted if they are found. Others can cause quite a bit of damage and will need to be managed. In some cases, the issues you are seeing may not be pest damage at all. Properly identifying pest will help determine what kind of management strategies should be used or if any are even needed.

If you need help determining what a pest is or if it’s something you need to think about managing, you can bring samples into any of our extension offices. You can also send samples to the University of Illinois Plant Clinic. Their website can be found at web.extension.illinois.edu/plantclinic. There you will find instructions on how to submit samples as well as any fees that may apply.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: When we scout we often do it during the day. If you want to change things up a bit grab a flashlight and head out at night. Some pests such as cutworms, slugs, and snails are most active at night.

Rural pharmacies to receive state financial help State begins implementing $10 million Critical Access Care Pharmacy Program

By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois Independent pharmacies that serve Medicaid patients in small communities in Illinois will soon start receiving additional payments from the state.

The Department of Healthcare and Family Services confirmed Monday that it has begun implementing a program lawmakers established in 2018 known as the Critical Access Care Pharmacy Program, which provides up to $10 million a year in additional reimbursements for independent, brick and mortar pharmacies located in counties with fewer than 50,000 people.

Under the program, qualifying pharmacies receive quarterly payments from the state, based on the number of prescriptions they fill that are reimbursed by the state’s Medicaid program.

A spokesperson for DHFS said Monday the agency does not have data reflecting how many Illinois pharmacies qualify for the program.

The program was included as part of the budget package that lawmakers approved during the 2018 session. It will be funded for

a second year in the budget that takes effect July 1. “This administration worked aggressively to launch this vital program as rapidly as possible, and we are pleased to help support local pharmacies that are so often critical to our members and to communities throughout Illinois,� said John Hoffman, DHFS director of communications and public affairs.

State Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, who pushed for funding of the program, said in a statement Monday that the program is intended to help small, independent pharmacies in small towns stay in business. “This funding is going to be a major boost for rural pharmacies and will help keep them open while we find ways to combat the rising cost of prescription drugs,� he said. “I’m glad to see that we’re finally leaving the gridlock of the past behind and bringing this needed program to communities that are at risk of losing their local pharmacies.�

Manar was the lead Senate sponsor of another bill this year, House Bill 465, that he said is intended to help independent pharmacies compete with larger retail chain pharmacies.

That bill, which passed both chambers and is awaiting Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s signature, would bring pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, under regulation by the Illinois Department of Insurance.

PBMs are companies that negotiate drug prices on behalf of health insurance plans, often resulting in steep discounts that only large chain pharmacies can afford to provide.

Lawmakers considered several other bills this session that were aimed at addressing the rising cost of prescription drugs, none of which made it through the General Assembly.

House Bill 2880, sponsored by Rep. Will Guzzardi, D-Chicago, would have imposed a tax on prescription drugs whenever their prices rose more than the rate of inflation. It was never reported out of its committee.

House Bill 3493, also sponsored by Guzzardi, would have established a state board to regulate prescription drug prices in Illinois. It also failed to come out of committee.

House Bill 156, sponsored by Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, would have required insurance companies to report certain prescription drug pricing and spending information to the Department of Public Health. It passed out of the House but died in the Senate.

And House Bill 1441, filed by Rep. Anna Moeller, D-Elgin, would have authorized a program through which the state of Illinois could import prescription drugs from licensed, regulated Canadian suppliers. The bill stalled in its committee.

How to prepare your family when an aging loved one is moving in No man or woman, regardless of his or her age, wants to consider that a day may come when they need to rely on loved ones to help them perform everyday activities. But every day tens of millions of people serve as unpaid caregivers for their aging friends or family members.

A 2015 survey from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP found that approximately 34.2 million people had provided unpaid care to an adult age 50 or older in the last 12 months.

Many unpaid caregivers are pulling double duty, caring for their aging parents while also raising families of their own.

While there’s no guarantee that aging men and women will require care, caregivers figure to become more necessary as life expectancies increase. In fact, recent years have seen the senior population in the United States exceed 50 million for the first time in the country’s history,

and figures from the U.S. Census Bureau suggest that figure will continue to rise until 2029.

Men and women who are preparing to welcome an aging loved one into their homes may wonder how to make that transition go smoothly, especially if they have young children at home.

The following are some tips that can help families prepare to welcome an aging friend or family member into their homes. ‡ 6SHDN ZLWK \RXU ORYHG one’s physicians. Speak with an aging loved one’s physicians so you can get a complete picture of their physical and mental condition. This can give you an accurate depiction of how much care your loved one needs now and how much they might need in the future if their condition worsens. ‡ 'LVFXVV IRUWKFRPLQJ changes as a family. Once you gain a full understanding of your loved one’s physi-

cal and mental condition and before this person moves into your home, discuss it with your family. Adding a new member to your household will affect everyone, so each member of the family, including young children, should be included when discussing how the family dynamic will change. Parents must recognize that even young children may be asked to make sacrifices to accommodate aging loved ones. Explain these sacrifices in advance and how important it is to make an aging loved one feel welcome when they move in. ‡ 'LVFXVV FRQGLWLRQV ZLWK children. Children may recognize their grandparents or elderly loved ones have physical limitations, but they likely won’t understand conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Parents can ask a physician about how to explain cognitive decline to young children.

Children may not recognize cognitive decline as read-

ily as adults, so parents may need to discuss these conditions with their children periodically and/or if the conditions worsen.

Millions of people across the globe welcome aging loved ones into their homes when they can no longer care for themselves. Such

caregiving changes family dynamics, and these changes should be discussed before and after a loved one moves in.

Fun at the fair There was plenty of action to be had at this year’s Greene County Fair. From the pageant Monday night to harness racing on Tuesday, followed by a rodeo on Wednesday, truck and tractor pull on Thursday, demo derby on Friday and culminating this year’s 166th annual fair on Saturday with the mud drags – its easy to say there was something there to appeal to just about everyone.

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

This is one angry bull as he not only throws the rider but has the extra scrambling onto a fence to get out of the way Wednesday night at the rodeo.

Carmen Ensinger/Greene Prairie Press

Coming out of the chute, this bull was caught with all four feet off the ground and the rider still on his back – but it wasn’t for much longer until the rider was tossed.

One-year-old Korbyn Kessinger got into the spirit of the demo derby while watching his dad, Brandon Kessinger, compete.

Two-year-old Braylen Deskovich stands on the derby car driven by Casey Phillips wearing someone’s all-too-big helmet. He certainly enjoyed the races though.

This bull rider decides to lean into the bull in an attempt to stay on longer.

FFA shows kick off fair

Carson Knittel of Greenfield puts the finishing touches on his FFA sheep project before the start of the Section 13 FFA Sheep show held in Carrollton.

During the livestock shows at the county fairs, it often becomes a family affair. Bradley Rynders of Greenfield gets help from little brother Logan washing his swine entries for the Section 13 FFA show at this year’s fair.

The FFA Beef show kicked off with the bull classes shown first. Alexis Carroll of Carrollton walks her aged bull for the judges evaluation during the Section 13 FFA Livestock show held during the Greene County Fair.

Carrollton FFA was represented by Lucy Powell during the January gilt class of the FFA show with her Duroc swine.

Brianna Knittel, of Greenfield, sets up her champion Dorset ram during the FFA sheep show.

Round and round they go The 166th Annual Greene County Fair was held at the Carrollton Fairgrounds from June 15 to June 22 with entertainment every evening for the adults (and children), but the highlight for the kids was by far the fair midway.

Garrett Ulery and Lucas Hoaglin, both 6, of Carrollton, enjoy the dragon roller coaster.

Seems like Lucas is enjoying it a bit more than Garrett at this point.

The big, wide open eyes of Harper Hoaglin, 2, of Carrollton, kind of match the big eyes on the ride she is riding.

Two-year-old Roarie Witt, of Carrollton, is too young to know you aren’t supposed to drink and drive, but then again, she is drinking only lemonade and not really driving at all – just enjoying one of the midway rides at the Greene County Fair.
