Newingham named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Links of Strengthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for July

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Kathy Newingham has spent most of her life teaching but when she retired in 2012 after 35 years in the class-

and turned it into a line of inspirational wall art.

Now, Knox seeks out those who have made a difference in this world, who have become that â&#x20AC;&#x153;linkâ&#x20AC;? of strength to others, and he shares their story.

"Teaching was not just what I did - it is who I am.'

Kathy Newingham Links of Strength Recipient room, her devotion to children and her former students didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end when she walked out those schoolhouse doors.

It is her devotion, past and present, to the youth of the area which earned her the coveted Links of Strength award from Cary Knox. Knox, a former North Greene teacher who currently teaches in Meredosia, coined the term

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we teach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we mentor and sometimes when we leave the classroom, that stops or goes away for a little bit but you continue to mentor kids that you have taught in the past and I really do admire that because it is much needed,â&#x20AC;? Knox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know they appreciate it as well.â&#x20AC;?

It was the overall way that Newingham treated her stu-

dents that also draws praise from Knox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing I made note of is that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw a line when it comes to kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who they are, what they are or where they came from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are all equal to you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You communicate and you care for all of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; back then and still today as evident from the posts on social media. Even though you have retired from the classroom, you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappeared and you remain viable to them and I think that is cool.â&#x20AC;?

Newingham, a 1970 graduate of North Greene High School, began her career at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide and then moved to White Hall Elementary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did that for one year even though I had my teaching certificate,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was married and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to (See, NEWINGHAM, A2)

How appropriate that Kathy Newingham should receive her Links of Strength plaque in the public library since Newingham, a long time North Greene English teacher, has always had a love of books and tried to pass that love onto her students throughout the years.

Have you kissed a camel today?

Victoria Morgan, 11, of Hillview, can as she receives a kiss from Sugar, the camel. Sugar was one of many camels and other animals that were on hand at the White Hall Rez, courtesy of Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Petting Zoo, for the White Hall Fourth of July Celebration on Thursday, July 4. Actually, Morgan was letting Sugar take a carrot stick from her mouth at the time.

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) are announcing the availability of vaccines for children covered under the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. Ordering vaccines for CHIP-eligible children, (a partnership between federal and state governments that provides low cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid), through the VFC program will increase the number of providers for these vital services and help ensure vaccines are more readily available for low-income vaccines.

This effort to ensure vaccinations for those children whose families cannot pay for them, is a reversal of a piece of legislature passed by former Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2016 that made it harder for those in need to receive vaccinations. The Rauner administration then decided to require health providers to pay for vaccines for CHIP enrollees up front and wait for reimbursement from the state or private insurance companies.

Pete the Praying Mantis welcomes visitors to Green Field Farms

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press He looms tall above the horizon on Daum Station Road as if keeping watch over the many, many acres of cornfields in front of him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; arms outstretched ready to grab any intruder.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an alien from outer space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is Pete the Praying Mantis, the creation of Regan Joehl and his five sons at Green Field Farms between Carrollton and Greenfield.

Standing nearly 30 feet tall, Pete is a prime example of how one can repurpose old farm equipment instead of just scrapping it. Made out of an old grain auger and other miscellaneous metal pieces laying around Green Field Farms, Regan Joehl, owner of Green Field Farms along with his wife, Christie, explained how Pete came to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time I look at a grain auger it just looks like it could be something (See, PETE, A3)

Pete the Praying Mantis is the ultimate example of repurposing old farm equipment. Made out of an old grain auger with other miscellaneous pieces of scrap metal as body parts, he looms high over the corn fields at Green Field Farms, located on Daum Station Road.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Remaining positive in your everyday life I Just came back from a river-fishing trip with a friend. It was a beautiful morning to be on the water. This time of year, the early morning is usually the best because the heat really picks up about mid-morning. This day was no different. By 10:30, our hopes were fried, along with our back and neck. But even before that, the action was minimal at best. We caught a few small ones, but never really got into the smallmouth population we had hoped for.

It seems the last few times we have went, we have left with the same results. We have fun. We love the comradery.

The outdoors is beautiful. But the fishing has been disappointing. After three times on the same float, discouraging. The thoughts of doing it again? Depressing. And that is the way it works in other parts of our lives as well.

More important parts.

All of us get disappointed.

To be disappointed means that an appointment has been missed or lost. This simply means that some things we expected to happen, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

As long as we have any expectations whatsoever, we all will have disappointments.

Being disappointed continually can lead to a deeper problem. Discouragement. It is the loss of courage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying, since I have been disappointed so much, I am no longer confident in anything good happening. I have lost the courage to continue down the same path Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going.

If one remains without courage long enough, he becomes depressed. Depression is when life has seemingly been squeezed out. Life has been pressed from us. Many of us know what each of these feels like. Some linger lon-

ger in discouragement and depression. Some suffer in ways that the rest of us cannot imagine. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it is so important for us to encourage one another. Because, while disappointments are universal and even come from strong faith, discouragement comes from its lack. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why throughout the scriptures, we are continually told to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be of good courage.â&#x20AC;? And that is also why we are to be people of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encouragement.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;enâ&#x20AC;? means to cause. It simply means we are to cause courage in other people. The temptation to lose courage can come from a lot of things, but it always starts with fear of the unknown. It can be the unknown about a job, a sickness, a death, or the next move. This is the predicament of everyone around us.

And while I may not have the answer they need, I can

choose to cause courage to come into their l i v e s by my words a n d actions.

You can too. When you think of the favorite people in your life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the teachers, friends, family members, neighbors; they are your favorite because they believed that you could do anything. They instilled courage. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groups for churches and associations. You can contact him at gary@outdoortruths.org.

Newingham (Continued from A1) leave the area so I became an aide and did lunchroom and playground supervision. Back then aides didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work within the classroom.â&#x20AC;?

One year of being an aide was enough, so the following year she embarked on a path of substitute teaching. After a couple years of that, she got hired at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where she taught a half-day 8th grade and halfday 6th grade and remained there for five years before getting hired at North Greene High School in 1985. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be the first to admit that working with the younger kids was never my strength and I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do that,â&#x20AC;? Newingham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be a high school English teacher â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to teach every subject so I was thrilled when I got hired as an English teacher at the high school.â&#x20AC;?

That, however, was short lived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was three years and was low man on the totem pole when they decided to close out senior English as a requirement and made it an elective,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That meant I was cut and bumped down to junior high where I remained for the next nine years teaching all of the sixth grade English and half of the 7th graders.â&#x20AC;?

While the junior high was not where she wanted to be, it did prove to be a worthwhile experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was not where I wanted to teach but I met the best friends of my life while teaching there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carolyn Camp, Glenda Dennis, Kathy Prough and Ruth Dunn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are the sisters of my heart.â&#x20AC;?

Then in 1994, she was called back up to the high school where she not only taught English but was also National Honor Sponsor and Student Council sponsor, retiring in 2012.

The one thing she tried to pass on to all of her students, whether they be junior high or high school, was a love of books and a love of reading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my classroom, I had a bookcase full of books with the letter â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would tell my students that those were books that

I had personally brought in so that they could have something to read.

I always encouraged my students to read â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is one of the greatest gifts of all.â&#x20AC;?

It was Newingham who was largely responsible for starting the Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother gave me a heart for veterans and she was very patriotic, plus my father, Bill Martin, is a veteran of World War II,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So in 2001, when we had the new commons built, we held the first program. That first one was just a reception and I actually decorated the commons with patriot items from my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house.â&#x20AC;?

The idea caught on and year after year what started out as a mere reception to thank veterans for their service to their country, has grown into one of the finest Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day programs in the area.

Ironically, in her retirement, she finds herself back at the grade school working with the volunteer art program that brings art to the grade school students after it was cut many years ago by the North Greene School Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program was started by Tammy Winters and Pam Painter soon after the art program was cut,â&#x20AC;?

Newingham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did it for K-3 for several years and then Carolyn Camp, Mary Jane Steelman and Mary Price joined in to help with the fourth to sixth grades. Once I retired they asked me to join and since I have a minor in art, it was a good fit.â&#x20AC;?

Also in her retirement, she put her art degree to work and started up Katrinkets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small business making and selling jewelry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I retired, I noticed at a lot of the vendor events I attended that there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of cheaply priced items for kids to buy so I started doing these little things with polymer clay and made little necklaces,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a little something that a child could buy for say their parents or grandparents as a gift or just something for themselves.â&#x20AC;?

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Newingham is also adept at pottery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carolyn (Camp) and I started taking pottery classes together as therapy when we taught junior high together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pounding clay is really good therapy. I have been taking classes for the past 17 years so I decided to branch out and include some pottery as well.â&#x20AC;?

Then she was asked by a former student and fellow teacher, Amber Nash, to make some necklaces for a Shriner event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was using metal stamping and I had never tried that before but I got the basic supplies and did that for her and now that has become a part of Katrinkets as well,â&#x20AC;? Newingham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of these takes a whole lot of time, but it is worth it to see the look on a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face when they are able to buy something for a loved one.â&#x20AC;?

The world of social media has allowed Newingham to stay connected with former students and share in their triumphs and successes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I broke my leg in 2009, I was laid up at home and my son, Nathan, said I should get on Facebook,â&#x20AC;? Newingham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him that was just for young people and he said he thought there would be a lot of kids who would like to reconnect with me through it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe him, but he was right.

Now I enjoy being able to watch my former students become parents themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Regardless if she draws a paycheck or not, Newingham said once a teacher, always a teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching was not just what I did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is who I am,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are always a teacher of one kind of another, whether it be a parent teaching your child or a teacher in the classroom. Those kids I taught really are my kids and I still call them that when I see them now as grownups.

I look at some of the kids I teach in art now and I see the faces of their parents that I had in junior high or high school.â&#x20AC;?

Vaccines (Continued from A1) The recent push for this program coincides with the recent uptick in measles cases across the country.

According to IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, the U.S. is currently seeing the greatest number of measles cases since 1992, despite the fact that measles were declared eliminated in 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinois is committed to every child being vaccinated,â&#x20AC;? IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccination is in the safest and most effective way to help prevent measles cases and outbreaks, and we are continuing to take aggressive action to ensure that all children continue to have access to vaccines.â&#x20AC;?

Since the new administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception, the HFS and IDPH have been working together to rejoin the programs and increase provider

Animal abuse

Charged

(Continued from A1) found emaciated and near death in a shed at their home on Melissa St. in Greenfield.

According to reports from Greenfield Officer Chris McMillen, the dog was found locked in a shed on the property and appeared to have been there for days without food or water and subjected to sub-zero temperatures.

McMillen stated that according to the vet, the dog was 30 pounds under the normal weight for his breed and was so weak he could not stand and his body was jerking like he was in severe pain.

PAWS in Jacksonville took in the dog, who was named McMillen after the officer who rescued him, and nursed him back to health.

Elliott and Gilbert were charged separately but both had pre-trial hearings on Monday afternoon, July 8 in Greene County Circuit Court.

Elliott was the first to appear before Judge James Day with Public Defender Tom Piper. Piper announced that Elliott had agreed to waive his right to a jury trial, resulting in Elliott getting visibly upset and holding a conversation with Piper before getting up and walking out, followed by Piper.

In the meantime, Gilbert, with her Attorney Craig Grummel, appeared before Judge Day with Grummel requesting a continuance until the next jury setting, which was granted. Gilbert hired private council back in April and a jury trial was scheduled for July 15 for both defendants.

(Continued from A1) with a minor who was at least 13 years of age but under the age of 17.

The Unlawful Grooming charge alleges that from January through February of 2018, Hunnicutt used jewelry to bribe a minor to commit the offense of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse using a ring to bring the minor for the purpose of engaging in a sexual relationship with the minor.

Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse is a Class 2 Submitted photo

A photo of McMillen soon after he was rescued from a home in Greenfield after being locked without food or water, lying in urine and feces, in a shed.

The dog, which was too weak to stand, was taken into custody by Greenfield Police Department and transported to PAWS in Jacksonville where he was nursed back to health. The owners of the dog, Justin A. Elliott and Holly M. Gilbert, face animal abuse charges and were set for trial July 15, but both asked for a continuance.

Piper and Elliott then reentered the courtroom and appeared again before Judge Day with Piper saying there was some miscommunication between he and his client and that Elliott is still requesting a jury trial.

He also requested a continuance due to the fact that his client informed him that there was another individual who had taken photos of the scene and they were seeking to obtain those photos.

The judge granted the continuance until the October jury setting.

Cruelty to Animals is a Class A Misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail, up to two years probation and a fine of up to $2,500.

Violation of Owners Duties is a Class B Misdemeanor and is punishable by a sentence of up to six months in jail, up to two yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probation and a fine of up to $1,500.

participation to make sure all children in the state who need vaccinations will be able to receive them.

This program will allow providers to obtain vaccines for CHIP children through the VFC program without having to buy vaccines from private sources at market cost and be reimbursed later.

As more physician practices, health centers, health departments and other providers across the state transition into the program, children covered by CHIP will also be able to get their CDC recommended vaccines in their medical home.

With easier access to vaccines for children covered under CHIP, and increased measures to track vaccines administered, the goal is to vaccinate every child in Illinois and eliminate any discrepancies in vaccination tracking and reimbursement.

Felony, punishable by three to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections plus a fine of up to $25,000.

Unlawful Grooming is a Class 4 Felony punishable by a prison term of one to three years and a fine of up to $25,000.

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle.

Thank you heavenly Father for the blessings of the week and for the excellent turnout for worship service this morning. We enjoyed special music by one of our own. Our men will continue to ready the new soon to be front sidewalk for concrete. Work day is planned for this coming Saturday morning. Our Scriptures this morning was found in Micah 7:18-19 and was titled “How God gets rid of Human sin.” We must

remember God is “omniscient”, knowing all things and we must remember God doesn’t forget but we also must remember that God never says “I told you so.” We also looked at Isaiah 43:25, “And I will not remember your Sins.”

This does not mean that God forgets our sins, it means that when God forgives our sins “He no longer holds our sins against us.” In Micah 7:19, ”You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” When God casts our sins into the

sea, where they sink like a stone, this is an act of grace which caused Micah to ask “Who is a God like you?” Our recent prayer requests are: Ray and Patty, Nancy and Keith, Vera, Debbie, Judy, Jessica, Dianne, Dorothy. Just a note, Wednesday evening Bible study is postponed for the month of July and will begin in August. We invite you to join us for Sunday morning worship service at 10:30 am. My number again is 473-1892.

Barrow Baptist Church news News from Bro. Gerald Day and members of the Barrow Baptist Church. Our service times are 9:30 a.m. Sunday school, followed by 10:30 a.m. morning worship with nursery service available. Everyone is welcome to either or both services.

That’s all for this week. Have a good week and be a friend to someone in need.

Pete (Continued from A1) a little more and we had this one that had worn out on us and we were going to scrap it,” Joehl said. “But rather than scrapping it, we started pulling more scrap metal out and got out the welder and started putting it together and Pete was born.”

Before beginning the project, Joehl asked his sons what they thought about the idea.

“Our boys thought it was a good idea and normally that is a pretty good barometer of whether I should be doing something,” he said. “After I received their approval – we just kind of ran with it.”

Throughout the winter, Joehl and his sons, Nathan, 10; Caleb, 8; Jeremiah, 6, Ryan, 4 and Jackson, 3, would spend an hour here and an hour there working on creating Pete.

“I thought it was something the boys and I could do together as a family during the winter months,” Joehl said. “They worked on it some with me, but not as much as I would have liked but they just thought it was the coolest thing and while everybody else thinks I’m crazy, they are excited so I am excited.”

While the main frame, or

body is the grain auger, Joehl had to get a little creative to create the rest of him.

“His wings are the roof sheets off the grain bin and the spikes on his back are actually parts off an old corn planter that we had to replace,” he said. “The only thing I had to buy is his eyes.

They were kind of tough to figure out but I decided an air transfer tank like you fill up a flat tire with would work. We didn’t have one on the scrap pile but we had one in the shop so I cut up a perfectly good one and ended up having to buy a new one to replace it.”

His jaw is actually an old gear that his boys found laying in the field.

“We had a welder and a cutting torch and a lot of imagination and Pete is what came out of all of that,” Joehl said. “He will fit right in here at Green Field Farms. We have the Land of the Giants where we grow giant pumpkins and last year we had a giant pumpkin there and were looking for something different and unique this year to keep people talking.”

Joehl calls him a praying mantis, but admits it’s really open to interpretation.

“We have had some people say he looks more like

a giant grasshopper than a praying mantis,” he said.

“We were going for praying mantis but if someone thinks differently I am not going to question them.”

As for his name, Joehl said he left that up to his boys.

“Being it is supposed to be a praying mantis and we know Peter was a praying man, we thought Peter would be a pretty good name for him,” Joehl said. “The boys shortened it to Pete.”

Green Field Farms will open the weekend of Greene County Days and will be open Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

“By that time we should have all the pumpkins ready but the main thing that first weekend we are open will be Christie’s mums,” Joehl said.

“We have grown a lot more mums this year and we will also have all the kids activities ready to go.”

Last year, in addition to the pumpkins and goards, they also began offering mums. They were a big hit and sold out very quickly.

Therefore, this year, they planted many, many more.

“Last year we ran out of mums in September so this year we did about four times

Better Living Through Humor “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”

Proverbs 15:13 NIV

W

e all know that laughter lightens a heavy heart, and sometimes when the world has us down, we just need to laugh instead of cry. The switch that flips us from crying to laughing demonstrates that things can always be taken in more than one way. One way of looking at the situation is tragic and makes us cry while another way is comic and makes us laugh. It isn’t always possible, or wise, to turn tragedy into comedy.

Trying to offer comic relief at a funeral may be inappropriate, although many eulogies contain some humor. Those of us who love a good joke or a funny turn of phrase probably won’t mind if there is some laughing at our funerals. In fact, we might insist on it. While there aren’t a lot of jokes in the Bible, there are lots of examples of humorous situations, or funny turns of phrase.

One of the first instances of laughter in the Bible occurs when Abraham and Sarah (who is ninety years old) are told that Sarah will bear a child. They both

laugh, but when their child is born, they name him Isaac, which means “he will laugh” in Hebrew. Many of the Proverbs contain witty turns of phrase: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” (Proverbs 26:11 NIV) And many of the Proverbs are straightforward prescriptions to lighten up: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22 NIV) Make an effort to smile and laugh more, and if you’re feeling down, do something that will make you laugh.

as many as last year,” Joehl said. “We will have around 1,200 with 1,000 of them being the single color mums and the other 200 being the tri-color mums in one big pot. They should be big and beautiful come Greene County Days.”

Of course they will also have a huge variety of pumpkins, from the teeny tiny ones to the giant ones planted in the area known as Land of the Giants, plus a wide variety of kids activities for all ages.

NGJH cheerleaders raising funds for new uniforms

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press North Greene Junior High Cheerleaders are asking for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help to raise money to purchase new cheer uniforms for the upcoming cheer season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cheerleaders for junior high have no funding and need new uniforms,â&#x20AC;? cheer mom Sarah Rushton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been over eight years since they had new ones and since these are passed down we are not allowed to purchase them in order to keep costs low for future generations so that cheerleading can be open for all.â&#x20AC;?

Rushton said they are limited as far as fundraising goes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can only do fundraisers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect all other groups and the high school cheerleading program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, therefore, we have reached out looking for donations and trying to get fundraisers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away from others.â&#x20AC;?

Rushton said she has reached out to Survival Flight to see if they would be willing to help but has not received any word back yet.

These 13 young ladies are all members of the cheerleading squad at the junior high for the coming year. They are in trying to raise enough money to purchase new uniforms for the entire squad and are looking for donations from the community to help this become a reality. Front row, left to right: Audrey Chavez, Alissa Hazelwonder, Kassidy Ralston, Madison Brown, Nila Beatty, Madison Blacketter and Rhyan Rushton. Back row: Madison Ifland, Kenlee Monroe, Natosha Rawe, Joselynn Cooper, Paige Updike and Karlee Jennings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are quite a few girls who are interested in doing cheer at the junior high level as it helps prepare them for high school cheer,â&#x20AC;? Rushton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want money to be a factor in keeping these kids out of cheer so we have to raise the money ourselves or

donate everything to cover the cost of these new uniforms.â&#x20AC;?

New uniforms cost between $80 and $100 each and there are 13 girls on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior high cheering squad. That means they need to raise anywhere from $1,040 to $1,300. With the start of

school and the sporting season just around the corner, time is running out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Katelyn Manley is trying to get approvals for some fundraisers from the school board,â&#x20AC;? Rushton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board has to approve them before we are allowed to

hold them.â&#x20AC;?

In the mean time, they would be more than happy to accept a donation that will go towards the purchase of the uniforms. Donations can be made to North Greene Jr. Sr. High School attention NGJH Cheerleaders Fund.

The theme for this year’s Lions Club Parade was “Back to the 80’s” but it never specified which century. This float chose to go back to the 1880’s with a western look.

David Mansfield, a member of the Ansar Shrine, tooled down Main Street in one of the little cars the Shriners are known for.

The Unseen Menace...Chiggers!

By CHRISTOPHER ENROTH How can something so small cause so much agony? This thought, along with several other expletives ran through my mind as I clicked from webpage to webpage searching for a cure to my constant itching. What was the source of my anguish? Chiggers! My entire body (mostly the more private parts) was covered in chigger bites.

Through the blinding itching hysteria of the next couple days, I found lots of so-called curatives on the internet and realized there is a vast amount of false information out there about chiggers. So in an attempt to ease another poor souls pain, or at least keep you from doing something really foolish to relieve itching, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start by dispelling some of these myths.

Chiggers are insects that only feed on mammals.

FALSE First, chiggers are not insects; instead, they are classified as a Trombiculid mite, a relative of spiders and ticks.

According to Dr. Phil Nixon, retired Extension Entomologist, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nymph and adult chiggers are predators on insect eggs, other mites, and insectsâ&#x20AC;Śand decaying organic matter.â&#x20AC;? It is their younger stages that feed on any hapless passerby. These guys are very difficult to see with the naked eye at about 1/50th of an inch across, about the size of a pinpoint. Immature chiggers feed on a variety of animals including birds, reptiles, and mammals.

If you wear long pants tucked into your socks you will not get chiggers. FALSE While wearing protective clothing is a hindrance, chiggers are quite inclined to climb around the host to find a suitable feeding site. The thinner the skin the easier it is for the invader to insert its piercing mouthpart, which is why

you typically get bites around ankles, behind the knees, in the groin and armpit area and around beltlines. However, through my own experience over the years, I have found that chiggers typically stop at a spot where clothing is restrictive, such as sock and belt lines. Once, when venturing in the tallgrass prairie in Kansas I came home with the emblazoned outline of the vest I was wearing in chigger bites on my chest and back.

A chigger burrows into your skin, so you have to suffocate them using nail polish, or bleach, or alcohol, or turpentine, or fire, etcâ&#x20AC;Ś FALSE! This seems to be one of the top misguided thoughts out there on chiggers. They do NOT burrow into our skin, so you can at least remove that unpleasantry from your mind.

Therefore, you have no reason to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;suffocateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; them and certainly no reason to be pouring bleach on your skin or heaven forbid hold a flame to the bite.

In reality, chiggers use their piercing mouthparts to inject digestive fluids into the top layer of your skin. These juices react with your skin cells and form a straw-like welt, that the chigger uses to suck up your liquefied skin cells. When exposed to air the fluid oozing out of the bite will solidify into a hard cap, which distinguishes chigger bites from others.

Chiggers can transmit disease. FALSE None of our North American chiggers have ever been reported to spread any type of disease.

Chiggers can bite you several times. FALSE A chigger will only bite once. After that, they remain attached unless the host either scratches them off or washes them off with warm soapy water. Phil Nixon points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiggers drop off of the host after a day or two to molt into the next stage. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay

on the host for very longâ&#x20AC;?.

Additionally, some satisfaction can be taken in that once you scratch or wash these pesky guys off, they die.

So if you are a poor soul suffering from a terrible case of chigger bites reading this and screaming â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true and false, but how to get rid of the bites?!â&#x20AC;? Well, my answer is, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You simply have to let the irritation run its course. I know your heart just sunk, but let me continue. There is no cure-all medicine for chigger bites, the best strategy is once you have been in areas you suspect to harbor these nasty guys or you actually start seeing bites, wash any clothes you were wearing during exposure and take a warm shower. This will remove any chigger that may have made it in on your clothing or you. Once the itching begins, there are various products available to relieve your discomfort at drug stores or from your physician.

Take solace that usually the itching subsides within a week. During this time try to scratch as little as possible and keep your hands and bites clean to avoid secondary infection.

What can you do to protect yourself? Because never leaving my house is an absurd option, I usually have a can of insect repellent containing DEET in my bag. My dislike of chiggers is overridden by my need to be outside.

Perhaps I am my own worst enemy.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Take heart that many, many living things feed on and within you without leaving any sign of their presence.

However, when it comes to temporary, itchy, agony, chiggers are the worst. Next time you head out for a hike or picnic in grassy areas, products containing DEET have shown to reduce the number of chigger bites.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easier way to get the word out on your business.

As a part of the Summer Agricultural Institute traveling workshops, teachers learned about the wholesale flower market at Baisch and Skinner in St. Louis.

Teachers explore Agriculture Eighteen educators from Christian, Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin counties explored more about agriculture during the Summer Agricultural Institute conducted by the Macoupin County Agricultural Literacy Program June 10-13.

During the institute, educators toured several sites and tried hands-on activities as they learned more about the agriculture industry. Educators earned 30 professional development hours or two graduate credits for the institute.

Traveling workshops included Baisch & Skinner, Corteva Agriscience Litchfield Pioneer Seed Production Facility, Danforth Plant Science Center, McDonnell Genome Institute, Ronnoco Coffee, and the St. Louis Science Center GROW exhibit.

Educators learned about the wholesale flower market, seed production, plant science, genome sequencing, coffee processing, and more through these stops.

Teachers completed many hands-on activities and received resources to use in

their classrooms from different presenters. Presenters included Brad Banning from IL Agriculture in the Classroom, Kacie Haag and Macie Hurst from IL Corn Marketing Board, Julie Blunier from IL Soybean Association, Jill Williams from St. Louis District Dairy Council, Beth Groves from Montgomery County Agricultural Literacy Program, and Connie Niemann from Macoupin County Agricultural Literacy Program.

On their evaluation one teacher commented: “It is always a great institute. I learn so much and always come out inspired and have so much I am ready to share in the classroom and with colleagues.” Attending a summer agricultural institute provides an educator with so many free resources,” commented another teacher on their evaluation.

Another educator said, “lots of great resources, great way to earn CPDU’s, once in a lifetime experiences.”

The following educators attended the institute: Maggie Bick, Chad Brodbeck,

and Amy Manker – Brussels Schools; Julie Breden – Jerseyville High School; Richard Cooper and Lou Ann Ibberson – North Mac Schools; Nicole Emery – Greenfield Elementary; Julie Heyen – Mt. Olive Junior High School; Jessica Kimble, Patty Kulenkamp, Kelli Rahe, Alison Sibert, Amy Steward, Karyssa Tefertiller, and Shelley Watts – Carrollton Grade School; and Karen Kinder, Becky Lorts, and Maureen Tepen – St. Mary School in Brussels.

This program and all the resources are made possible by local sponsors. We appreciate the support of these sponsors and our traveling workshop sites that helped make this institute a success.
