White Hall Council OKs sewer repairs

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press White Hall City Council approved more than $22,000 worth of repairs to the sewer line on Carlinville St. at their July 9 regular city council meeting.

At the May meeting, discussion was held on problems with the sewer in that area. After having filmed every line in that area, it was found that two lines coming into manholes had collapsed completely and to fix these areas would require blocking off some mains and pumping from one manhole to another one to bypass the one being repaired. With it being the main trunk line, it was too much for the city workers to tackle.

The council unanimously approved hiring Killionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to do the repair work.

The $22,870 dollars it will cost to do have a good relationship with,â&#x20AC;? he the repair work will be taken out of said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you need is for them to be the Sewer and Maintenance Fund.

time billing clerk to start training to become a prison guard. The council accepted his resignation and approved the transfer of Todd Staats, who currently works in the dispatch office to this position.

This left an opening in dispatch, and Police Chief Luke Coultas suggested promoting Lucas McEvers, who is currently a part-time dispatcher, to the full-time position vacated by Staats.

The council OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d the move.

During the meeting, the council also approved hiring two emergency parttime dispatchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are already down one emergency dispatcher from a couple of months ago when we had our person move to the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office full-time,â&#x20AC;?

he Carrollton Fire Protection District (CFPD), which includes the villages of Kane and Eldred, will be afforded the opportunity to get some defibrillators for the district.

The district recently received a $1,500 donation from Country Companies Insurance.

Tracy Schmidt of Country Companies Insurance in Carrollton presented members of the Carrollton Fire Protection District with the donation Wednesday during the monthly fire district meeting and explained how CFPD was chosen for the award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Financial operates a program called Operation Helping Heroes to help local non-profit organizations such as fire departments, small hospitals and EMS groups,â&#x20AC;? she said.

It is a program designed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give back to those who do so much for others,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt continued.

It was a donation made possible by happenstance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work with Jim Banghart (CFPD trustee) a lot, and we were talking about something fire related, and he mentioned that they were looking into trying to purchase some new equipment for the fire department,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next thing I know, I hear about this program that we have, and I submitted their name to receive funding from the program.â&#x20AC;?

Banghart said the money will be used to purchase three defibrillators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for each station in Carrollton, Kane and Eldred. Defibrillators are used by medical professionals to treat (See, DONATION, A2)

Animal cruelty charges pending against Roodhouse man

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A Roodhouse man was allegedly involved in the death of a 14-weekold puppy, according to police.

Charges are pending in Greene County Circuit Court against Terry Quinn, 39, for Animal Cruelty in the death of a puppy described as a doxy/pin mixed-breed puppy.

According to a police report from Roodhouse Police Department, Quinn allegedly body slammed the

puppy to the ground early June 22, which lead to the puppyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

According to the report, Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Shelby Quinn, stated to arresting officer Jeremy Gwartney that after a night of drinking, the couple came back to their home in Roodhouse.

She said Quinn took the dog outside, and after a few minutes she heard Quinn yelling at the dog, the report reads.

Moments later, Quinn returned bleeding from the head from what

he said was the dog biting him and that he had slammed the dog causing injury to it, the report reads.

Shelby Quinn stated they got into an argument about his anger and a short time later when the dog did not return she went outside looking for it, the report continues.

She reportedly found the dog in the yard, not moving. She brought the dog into the house. It was noted in the report that the injuries caused (See, ANIMAL, A2)

Undesirable realization...

There is nothing like finding out new things about your home.

However, sometimes that can prove very frustrating and ultimately – painful.

Take for instance last week. I have lived in my house for two-and-a-half years now, and up until last week, I did not realize I had a lock on my bathroom door!

Now, I’m sure you all know by now how I discovered this little gem of wisdom – yep, I got locked out of the bathroom!

Picture it – it’s a hot and steamy afternoon, and I have spent the last hour on my back porch bathing six kittens that I had recently rescued. I was hot, I was dirty and I was ready for nothing more than a nice cool shower. That in itself is a miracle because as a rule I hate water.

I hate water so much that its been 20 years since I even had a bath.

Now, before you jump to conclusions, like a certain police chief I told the story to did, I prefer showers so it is not like I haven’t bathed in 20 years.

But, I digress. I get to the bathroom door and turn the knob, and it won’t open. I jiggle and turn it once more and nothing. Now, I know for a fact there was nothing in there that could have fallen to block the door, but at this point, I had not realized that I have been locked out of my own bathroom.

I keep trying and trying to no avail.

Surely, if there was a lock, I would have discovered it by now. I’ve closed

that door at least a 1,000 times over the years and never given it a thought.

Finally, I figure out that the darn thing is locked. The lock had a tiny hole in the center and while I didn’t have a bobby pin, the next closest thing was a q-tip. I cut the end off and stuck it in there and wiggled it hoping to trip the mechanism.

Nothing. Well, you always see them on television opening locked doors with a credit card so I dug out an old one. I must have worked with that thing for 15 minutes trying to open it but nothing.

Aha! Maybe, just maybe I left the window unlocked after I turned on my air. It was worth a shot. Problem is, the window is up high and I have no ladder. What could I use? I had an old milk crate, but that wasn’t tall enough.

Maybe if I put the milk crate on top of the kitchen chair, that would work.

I dragged the chair out, put the crate on top and perched myself precariously on top of the crate in the chair and tried the window. The darn thing was locked. Of all the times for me to be security conscious, it was this one!

That left me only one option – I had to break down the door. Remember those episodes of Beverly Hillbillies when Granny was wanting to get through a locked door and she would take a running start and simply bust right through it.

Let me tell you – it ain’t that simple. For one thing, the bathroom is in my hallway, which is about three foot wide – no running start for me. So I

would just have to put all my weight behind it and do my best.

I leaned back and took my foot Much Ado and gave it a boot.

About Nothing. Ten more Nothing times and still it wasn’t budg- BY CARMEN ing. Next I tried ENSINGER my shoulder. I put my head down and rammed…and rammed…rammed.

My last alternative was using my hips to do the deed; however, all I can think of is my bony hips. I will probably end up breaking a hip just to get in the darn door.

I must have hit that door with my hip 15 times before I finally was able to bust the molding from around the door and get in. Next day, I had a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my hip and walked like an 80-year-old.

Lucky for me, it was a clean break on the molding, and I was able to hammer it right back, and you would never know little ol’ me broke down that door.

As for the lock – that will never happen again. It is one of those locks you have to push in so I put some twist ties around the middle of it to prevent it from ever being pushed in again.

Just another day in my anything but boring life!

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Fishing, first moments take up their own file in my mind The summer can be slow for bass fishermen. The water is warm and the oxygen that fish need for peak activity is not found in warmer water.

Therefore they tend to go deeper or become more active when the days are at their coolest. That’s why early in the morning is some of the best time to be on the lake or river.

My favorite way to start is by being ready to cast my first bait when the sun is barely peeking over the horizon. One must take advantage of every minute the fish are active because, in the summer, those minutes are few.

As many of you know, my favorite way to wake bass up this time of year is with a top water bait. The sound of this plug echoes for unknown distances at the break of day

and each plop signals to the fisherman to be ready for what might be lurking just below the surface.

The combination of sight and sound can at times be just too much for nearby bass to ignore. And for the fisherman, the crash of water just behind that bait can also be as addictive as well. Once you see and hear that unique moment, you will place it in its own mental compartment, and nothing will ever join it.

Thankfully, there are other moments that deserve their own special place.

I imagine me making a file and labeling it with that moment but never adding anything else to the file except that which caused me to make it in the first place.

It’s like making a folder on your computer for certain types of pictures or docu-

ments and only finding one picture or document that fits in the folder. In one way you are hoping for other occasions to add to the folder, but it seems that nothing ever fits like that first file.

There are a few things like that in my life. A first degree.

A first accomplishment. A first purchase. All of these things were so special to me then and still hold their own special place today. But what really matters are not fish or firsts but moments when someone wrote something or said something that caused me to change into a better man.

It was a sentence that wowed me. It was a lesson that challenged me. It was a gesture that took me aback.

You see while things like these may deserve a place in their own folder; unlike

Shelby Quinn stated she stayed up with the dog all night monitoring it throughout the night and next day.

While transporting the dog to receive help, the dog died, the report reads.

Shelby Quinn stated in the report that she wanted to press charges against Terry Quinn for killing her dog.

She stated that she felt like

he had taken the life of one of her kids by killing the dog out of anger.

Following his arrest, Terry Quinn said he had stepped on the dog and then became angry and threw it out into the yard, but didn’t believe he had caused injury to the dog.

Quinn was arrested and taken to Greene County Jail where he was later released with a pending court date.

Repairs (Continued from A1) Coultas said. “They still work some for us but I am recommending hiring Marcus Jouett and Alexandra Taberski. She currently works for West Central Dispatch part time and would like to add some hours with us.”

A motion was on the agenda to apply for an aquatic grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for some boat ramps at the White Hall Reservoir Rez, but Alderman Brandon Roberts said it would not be worth it.

After talking with the city’s engineer’s Benton and Associates, who had looked more extensively into the grant, they found it would only cover a portion of the projects they had planned for the site.

“We were all geared up and ready to go, and then I received a call this morning from Bryan Cannon who

found out they are only going to approve a total of $700,000 for this program for projects in the $200,000 range,” Roberts said.

“He recommended we not even submit for it because it would only approve 3.5 projects and it wouldn’t be worth the $3,000 application fee.

I know we need improvements everywhere but we have to be financially responsible as well,” he continued.

The council accepted a $7,500 bid from Richards Electric to do electrical work at the water plant that will allow the city to receive readings from their wells. Currently, city workers have to drive down to the plant to take the readings. This is a requirement by the Environmental Protection Agency.

At the meeting, a city-wide tire pick up on Aug. 7-8 was also OK’d . There will be a dumpster at the city shed by the water plant and White

Hall residents may bring their tires for disposal from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. No tractor or commercial tires will be allowed.

The council gave Chief Coultas the approval to trade in 10 to 15 confiscated guns currently being stored in the evidence locker for five new firearms for city police officers.

“Basically, we can replace all five of our firearms and get new holsters for $700 which would be paid out of our (Driving Under the Influence) fund,” Coultas said. “We can’t sell them and most of them don’t even work and are just junk, and I just want to get rid of them.”

The city’s current weapons are 10 years old and in need of upgrading. This item will be put on next months’ agenda for formal approval.

It requires approval from the Greene County State’s Attorney.

donation pretty much took care of everything.”

Banghart said that anytime they get a substantial donation like this one from Country Companies, they try to spend it on something safetyrelated.

“We try to distribute the donations of funds we receive on safetytype things, which could be anything from replacing an air pack to any other piece of equipment that provides safety to either our firemen or the public in some capacity,” he said.

“This donation couldn’t have

come at a better time because, we have been thinking about the need for a defibrillator on our trucks for quite a while now,” he added.

Carrollton Fire Protection District has a total of 11 trucks in it’s fleet.

Each station in Kane, Eldred and Carrollton has one main pumper, a tanker truck and a reserve truck at each station. They run a rescue truck and ladder truck out of the Carrollton station. They also have a utility van.

Each station has a four-wheeldrive mini pumper that is used to fight grass and field fires.

Donation (Continued from A1) patients in life threatening cardiac situations such as a heart attack.

“We will carry one of these on each main truck out of each station so there will be on in Kane, Eldred and here in Carrollton,” Banghart said.

“These are totally refurbished and like new with a new battery and everything,” Banghart said. “They are completely compatible with the ones used by Greene County Ambulance.

This has been a busy and blessed Sunday. We begin our Sunday morning service by welcoming our guests. This morning I shared Matthew 28:19-20.

Jesus was instructing the disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

We see that baptism is an outward sign of an inward change of a person’s heart

when he or she accepts Christ as their Savior. After our morning service, we all met at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Roodhouse where Pastor Rod Brodgon and his congregation graciously provided their baptistery for us to baptize three adults into the family of God. Then later in the afternoon, Judy and I traveled to Bluffs Baptist Church where we attended a memorial service for Sharon Kay McMillen Ruppel. I was honored

Embracing Diversity “When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’ (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.

How can you ask me for a drink? (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).”

John 4:7-9 NIV

T

here is ample evidence that more diverse workforces are more creative and do better work on a variety of measures. One of the interesting results to come from research on diversity is the finding that people who have deeper experiences with different cultures are more creative and have more transformative experiences. Dating or marrying someone from a different culture, or living for an extended period of time in a different country or culture, for instance, will have a more transformative effect than just having friends from a different culture. We may think of the Bible nowadays as a paradigm of traditional conservative values, but it is important to see that the Bible in both the Old and the New Testament, is a historical record of vast and radical upheaval, which resulted, at least in part, because of the diversity

of cultures in close proximity in the Near and Middle East. Perhaps one of the most important benefits of embracing diversity is that it allows us to feel empathy for the person who was once seen only as a stranger, or perhaps even our enemy. Think of Jesus’s response to the Samaritan woman at the well. Jewish men in Jesus’s time wanted nothing to do with women or Samaritans, and here is Jesus engaging in a conversation with someone who is both.

Carrollton moves forward with Safe Routes to School grant

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council is taking steps to move forward with a Safe Routes to School grant.

The council approved an engineering agreement with Benton and Associates to design and prepare the specifications for the $200,000 Safe Routes to School grant the city received recently. In tandem with this motion, they also approved a resolution to appropriate Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds to do the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first action is for the agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation to use the MFT funds and the prepare the process of the grant,â&#x20AC;? Benton and Associates Engineer Bill Sleeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other one is the agreement between the city and Benton and Associates for using those funds.â&#x20AC;?

From there, the project goes to the Illinois Department of Transportation District (IDOT) 8 office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you approve this resolution, it will then go to District 8 where they will review it and approve it,â&#x20AC;? Sleeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything without their approval.â&#x20AC;?

An appropriation of $20,000 has been set aside for preparing the special provisions of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once it is done, it will go down to IDOT and they will bid out the project,â&#x20AC;? Sleeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can use grant money for construction site engineering but not for the design side.â&#x20AC;?

The resolution to use MFT funds must be approved because the project is not part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal maintenance program.

The council approved future legal fees up to $10,000 for legal work to be done regarding the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive plan and TIF district.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Strang has provided an estimated cost for services for preparation of the comprehensive plan and the upcoming TIF district,â&#x20AC;? City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work would involve all the legal advice and questions from the council, preparing all the ordinances and other legal documents related to these things, plus all hearings and meetings required in the process up until the time of approval.â&#x20AC;?

City Attorney Bill Strang provide two different options for the city â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an hourly rate or a flat fee of not less than $7,500 or more than $10,000 plus expenses with $3,750 paid up front and the remainder upon completion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is a discounted rate from what we charge in the office but not as discounted as everything I do for you now, which is considerably discounted,â&#x20AC;? Strang said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These TIF districts can be very detailed and statute oriented and there is a lot of documentation that needs done so it sometimes becomes a difficult tax and something we consider deserving of a higher rate.â&#x20AC;?

Strang has prepared TIF districts before, and said he feels the final cost will be more towards the $10,000 price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have worked on four different TIF projects and based on these four, I feel the cost will be closer to the $10,000 estimate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of the comprehensive and TIF plan, when you approve the idea of going forward with one of them, one of the resolutions you will pass say funds paid to the consultant and to me would be reimbursed to the General Fund out of a Special Allocation Fund, which is a fairly common practice among municipalities who do this.â&#x20AC;?

The council unanimously approved going with the flat rate plan not to exceed $10,000.

There was a bit of controversy among council members regarding a motion to eliminate the monthly workshop meetings that

are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month.

The idea behind the workshop meetings was to give council members the opportunity to discuss topics before they come up for a vote on the second Thursday of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past few months, there has been a lack of subject matter for discussion at our workshop meetings,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Joe Montanez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of council members, for reasons of their own, cannot make those meetings. As an alternative to holding the monthly workshop meetings, if we had to, we could hold a special meeting to discuss any pending items that might come up that needed discussion.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Kevin Scoggins thought they should keep the monthly workshop meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am opposed to doing away with these workshop meetings,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the various committees use this time to talk about the issues they are dealing with within these committees.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Larry GIllingham agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we should do away with the workshop meetings,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would, however, be in favor of holding the workshop just prior to the regular council meetings if making these meetings is a problem for some of the council members.â&#x20AC;?

Scoggins made a motion to continue the way they and keep the monthly workshop in place.

Aldermen GIllingham, Scoggins and Dewain Freand voted yes and Aldermen Shane Carter, Tim Reif and Maria Cox voted no. The Mayor broke the tie with a no vote so effective immediately, there will be no more workshop meetings.

The council approved purchasing a new backhoe and attachments. The cost of the backhoe is $66,599.25, less with a $2,000 trade-in on a 1988 skid steer and 2006 backhoe. In addition to the backhoe, the council approved purchasing a gravel bucket for it at

a cost of $17,95 and a snow pushing box at a cost of $4,630.

Last month, Alderman Reif brought up the need for renovations at City Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, our city hall is functional, however it is very outdated,â&#x20AC;? Reif said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The linoleum in the hallway is from the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and we would just like to update things and make it more user friendly in the very near future.â&#x20AC;?

The first phase of renovation would include replacing the linoleum in the foyer, getting carpets cleaned and laying carpet in the back police squad room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The officers requested having something don in that back room because it is just plain concrete now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the old carpet was taken out some time ago,â&#x20AC;? Reif said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They found some carpet squares that are very affordable and the police have volunteered to come in and do the work on their day off. The whole project could be done for around $200.â&#x20AC;?

The council approved these renovations along with a cost not to exceed $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have $5,000 budgeted for renovations for the year at city hall, and we have not spent any of them yet,â&#x20AC;? Reif said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just to let the public know what is on the radar. Within the year we would like to seek bids on new paint and drywall in the council room.â&#x20AC;?

The 3-5 year timeline includes increasing the functionality of the building including new security measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way it is now, people can walk in the front door and go wherever they want,â&#x20AC;?

Reif said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are instances where people should not be at a certain place and on that side we are looking at possibly redesigning the building, including putting a public restroom at the front of the building, rearranging some offices and adding some security doors and a breakroom.â&#x20AC;?

County Board contemplates precautionary road agreement

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County Board members discussed formalizing and implementing a resolution to adopt a road use agreement in an effort to prevent another situation similar to the Spire issue that transpired last year which ended with Greene County being taken to court over the use of its county roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lengthy agreement and both Caleb (States Attorney Briscoe) have worked on it,â&#x20AC;? County Highway Supervisor David Marth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This resolution basically says the county has the authority to implement various rules and ordinances regarding the county road system.â&#x20AC;?

The essence of the agreement is very broad in scope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wording in it says you â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;may requireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and there is a list of criteria that has to be met,â&#x20AC;? Marth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These would be the key elements that would cause the county to pursue a road use agreement on a project.â&#x20AC;?

The county isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to have a road use agreement, but it would be in its best interest if it did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The resolution doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say you have to have a road use agreement,â&#x20AC;? Marth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a pretty big step, but I think it is a good step.â&#x20AC;?

Briscoe agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there will be another incident like the Spire incident in the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be in our best interest to have some standards in place.

If we had had this in place earlier then maybe things would have been a lot different with Spire. Going forward we learned a lesson with that and this is a good idea.â&#x20AC;?

Marth had expected to bring a name forward to the council for approval to be the new county worker, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great candidate and made a recommendation to the committee to hire him, and between Monday and tonight (Wednesday), he said he needed

family health insurance,â&#x20AC;? Marth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked into the cost and said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it and withdrew his name, so we are back to taking applications and interviewing prospective candidates.

Hopefully, we will have a name for you in August.â&#x20AC;?

Attorney Dick Clough asked the board to vacate several alleys and streets in Belltown at the request of his clients, Paul and Janet Price. The Prices own around 30 lots in Belltown and recently acquired title to more lots in the village that they are requesting and the areas requesting to be vacated are basically just streets and alleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on plat maps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are currently covered in grass and the Prices have been mowing them since acquiring the lots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, the board has done this in various places with undeveloped city plats,â&#x20AC;? County Clerk Deb Banghart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a village no longer incorporated, and the dispensation of the original plat of the city falls on the county board.

Technically, these areas are still platted streets and alleys even though they have never been developed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the county board if they want to change the plat of the town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is the way the law reads.â&#x20AC;?

The board agreed to vacate the requested streets and alleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Marth said his crew has been out inventorying the entire county for 911 signs before the county takes over maintenance of them. Under the new 911 program implemented last year, the state purchased the signs, but it is now up to the county to maintain them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We noted signs that were leaning, missing, incorrect or that had notable issues that made them not acceptable,â&#x20AC;?

Marth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bottom line is we inventoried over 700 signs and there are 143 signs that need corrective action taken before we take over. So we hand delivered a copy to the sheriff and sent a copy to 911 Coordinator Phil McCarty.

Hopefully all of these issues will be corrected and we can start with a clean slate on the 911 signs.â&#x20AC;?

Common Tomato Diseases

By CHRISTOPHER ENROTH Tomatoes are one of the most commonly grown vegetables in home gardens.

While tomatoes are relatively easy to grow there are a few diseases you should keep your eye out for. Two of the most common diseases people encounter are early blight and Septoria leaf spot. Both of these diseases are caused by fungi.

Consistently wet conditions are required for both of these diseases to develop, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had plenty of.

Early blight (Alternaria solani) primarily infects the foliage of plants, but it can also infect the stem and fruit. It appears as irregularly shaped brown spots that have concentric rings (resembles a bulls-eye or target), commonly on older leaves. The spots are often surrounded by yellow tissue. The spot can grow to be Ÿ to ½ inch in diameter and will often grow together (coalesce) forming large brown areas. Eventually, leaves will drop off of plants.

Septoria leaf spot (Septoria lycopersici) is also primarily a leaf infection, but will also infect the stems (rarely infects fruit). It forms small (1/16 to 1/8 of an inch) circular spots on leaves. These spots have a tan or light-colored center with dark purple or brown margins. Spots will grow to be around Âź of an inch in diameter. Like early blight, the individual leaf spots will often coalesce forming large areas of diseased tis-

sue. Heavily infected leaves will turn yellow and fall off of the plant. Unlike early blight, it does not form concentric rings. But, if you look closely (may need to use a magnifying glass) you can often see small black pimple-like fruiting bodies in the center of the leaf spots.

There are a few things you can do to manage these diseases. First, remove and destroy any diseased foliage. Make sure leaves are dry when handling plants.

If leaves are wet you may end up spreading the disease. Fungicides can also be applied to plants. This will not get rid of the disease on infected leaves but will protect healthy leaves from infection. When using pesticides, make sure to read and follow all label directions. Contact your local extension office to get a list of recommended chemicals.

There are also several different things you can do to manage these diseases in your garden for next year.

Make sure you are practicing crop rotation. Ideally, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow any solanaceous (tomato family; includes peppers, eggplants, and potatoes) plants in the same area (this is often easier said than done in backyard gardens). Early blight can survive in the soil, on seeds or infected plant debris for a year.

While Septoria can survive for up to three years on infected plant debris, as well as weedy hosts, it does not survive in the soil on its own. Because both of

these diseases can survive on plant debris, it is important to remove any diseased plant tissues from your garden. Controlling susceptible weeds, like nightshade, and volunteer tomato plants that can act as a source of infection are also important parts of keeping your garden clean.

Next year, if you are growing tomatoes from seed look for disease-free seed. If you are purchasing transplants inspect plants for any leaf spots before purchasing.

Regardless of whether you are growing from seed or transplants, look for disease resistant varieties. Make sure to properly space your tomatoes. Adequate spacing will allow airflow between plants and it will allow them to dry-out faster. It is also a good idea to stake or cage your tomatoes. This helps speed up the drying of plants and keeps them off of the ground. Using mulch on the ground also creates a barrier between the soil, where disease spores may be, and the plants. Finally, avoid watering late in the day and try not to get the foliage wet. The longer the leaves remain wet, the greater the chance disease will develop.

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Most home gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stake or cage individual tomato plants. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing numerous plants it may be worthwhile to trellis them. Two commonly used trellising techniques are the Florida (basket) weave and the t-post string trellis.
