Stabbing incident in White Hall By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A Granite City man has been charged in an alleged stabbing incident that took place in White Hall on July 11 that sent a man to a Springfield Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Tyler D. Lockhart, 26, has been charged with stabbing 31-year-old Brandon L. Brown. Brown was transported to Passavant Area Hospital with life-threatening injuries and then transferred to Springfield Memorial Hospital. According to a press release from White Hall Police Chief Luke Coultas, at approximately 10:58 p.m., officers were called to a report of a fight in

progress in the 500 block of West Bridgeport Street at the intersection of Bruce Drive. “Upon arrival, the officer found an unresponsive 31-year-old male in his car with what appeared to be two stab wounds on his back which were received during an altercation with another male and a female known to the victim,” Coultas said. “The male and female suspects fled the scene at a high rate of speed in a white SUV with a five-year-old child of the female also in the vehicle.” The Greene County Sheriff’s Department was called in to assist and located a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle just north of Carrollton still traveling at

a high rate of speed. The deputy was able to stop and detain them without incident. Tyler D. Lockhart, 26, of Granite City, was arrested and charged with Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Tiffany A. Syrcle, 39, of White Hall, was arrested on a charge of Aggravated battery for allegedly punching the girlfriend of the male stab victim who was also present during the altercation. The following day, July 12, the following charges were filed in Greene County Circuit Court against the two individuals. Lockhart was charged with two counts of Aggravated Battery, a Class 3 felony, for stabbing

Brown for stabbing Brown and cutting Brown with a knife. Syrcle was charged with Aggravated Battery, a Class 3 felony, for striking Hailey Weimer in the face with her fish and Battery, a Class A misdemeanor, for striking Weimer about the body. The White Hall Police Department was assisted with the incident by the Roodhouse Police Department, Greene County Sheriff’s Department, White Hall First Responders and Boyd Emergency Services. The investigation is ongoing with the possibility of additional charges being brought by the Greene County States Attorney at the completion of the investigation.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press White Hall’s tennis courts will be getting a revamping very soon after the White Hall City Council approved purchasing two new nets and painting the surface of the court with a special paint at the July 15 council meeting. The subject was brought up at the June meeting, but City Attorney Bill Strang brought up the fact that the court was not regulation and since most tennis players use the back portion of the court the city might want to look into extending the courts before spending the money to apply the special paint to the surface. Alderman Derek Gilmore, who had proposed the upgrade and was not present at the June meeting, had an update for the council at this meeting. “We checked into the possibility of extending the courts and there is brush on one end of the courts and a hill on the other side,” Gilmore said. “Those courts have been that way since they were built in the 1960’s and it is not like they are used 24/7. I’m just trying to get it fixed back up so the kids using it right now can have some place nice to play tennis or pickle ball, which is the big thing now.” The special paint is made by Sherwin Williams and is very thick and must be applied with a squeegee. It will take approximately 36 five-gallon buckets to complete the project at a cost of approximately $2,700. (See, TENNIS, A2)

White Hall Council discusses rising police officers wages By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The loss of one-third of their police force in just a little more than a month has prompted the city of White Hall to take a look at why their officers are jumping at the chance to join other police departments when the opportunity arises. At the July 13 City Council meeting, on the agenda for acceptance

by the council were the resignation of two of the city’s police officer’s, one of which the city had just paid to put through the Police Academy and been with the city since March. Officer Greg Williams took a position with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department and Officer Jerrett Smith took a position with the Carrollton Police Department. The city also lost one of their fulltime dispatchers to the county.

“As it stands right now, this is not a retention issue – it is a retention crisis,” Alderman David Meldrum said. “We have lost one-third of our department – two of our six officers have left and at least one more is looking at leaving or at least open to it which puts us at a 50 percent loss.” Meldrum said there are two basic ways to get an officer. “We either get new hires or we get

lateral transfers,” he said. “Lateral transfers have already been trained in the academy and already have on the job experience. They have been paid while getting experience by other departments.” Meldrum said new hires, such as Smith, are what the department keeps losing and it is a loss to the city. (See, WAGES, A3)

COVID cases on the rise in Greene County By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

The Gillingham’s constructed a new 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on a vacant lot located in on Sixth Street. It is the perfect location for the young couple as Mark Gillingham is a partner with his father in the Gillingham Law Office, which is located directly across the street from his home. Gillingham is a graduate of Carrollton High School and came back to join his father in his law practice after law school. The couple have one daughter, Collins, who is two-and-a-half years old.

“We had been sitting at zero cases for quite awhile and maybe we would see one or two cases ever so often, but nothing major,” Peters said. “But from Thursday to Tuesday of last week, we had 14 cases, so we are seeing an increase in cases in the county.” Peters said people are asking of the cases being confirmed are of the Delta variant. “Our message about COVID is that COVID is still COVID and there will be other variants other than the Delta variant,” she said. “We don’t want to focus in on any specific variant because COVID in general is what we want to prevent. That will still be our message going out to the public.” Another message that needs to go out to the public is the fact that Greene, along with the counties of Scott and Pike, have the lowest vaccination rates in the region. Of the 102 counties, Greene has the 11th lowest vaccination rate in the county. Among individuals in the 16 to 64 age range, only 29.60 percent are fully vaccinated. That rate goes up considerably for those over the age of 65 to 63.07 percent. (See, COVID, A2)

Tennis (Continued from A1) “The paint has to be special ordered so it will take about a month to get it,” Gilmore said. “Myself and the city guys will be the ones who will be applying it.” Still in the area of recreation, the council approved the use of donated kayaks for the rez. “We are trying to do things to bring kids and people out to the rez to do things other than to just fish,” Gilmore said. “There is not a whole lot of action going on out there other than fishing and you have some kids playing volleyball.” The idea is that the city will rent out the kayaks to give people the opportunity to see if they enjoy using them. “Some people may not know anything about kayaking or want to spend the money on one before they try one out,” Alderman David Meldrum said. “This would give them the opportunity to try them out.” Alderwoman Sue Vinyard asked about what the city’s liability would be renting them to the public. “All of the information I got through our insurance was that we are covered,” Gilmore said. “It is no different than someone taking a boat out there fishing.” Alderman Norman Coad said he felt it was a good idea and seconded the motion for accepting the kayaks, which were donated by the police fund. The only no vote was Vinyard and when asked why she voted no after the meeting she said she still felt it would be a liability to the city. The city is having a problem retaining its police officers who are leaving for other departments in the county who are offering higher wages. (See other story) On the agenda was the resignation of two city officers – Greg Williams, who took a position with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department and Jerrett Smith, who took a position with the Carrollton Police Department. The council accepted

Carrollton, Illinois

COVID Williams resignation, but tabled the acceptance of Smith’s resignation due to the fact that the city spent $5,600 to put Smith through the Police Academy and signed a contract with the city stating he would provide services to the city as a police officer for a certain amount of time. White Hall Police Chief Luke Coultas said it would be to the council to enforce that contract if they chose to do so. “I talked to the Carrollton Chief of Police (Mike McCartney) and asked if they would consider paying it for him and he said no,” Coultas said. “I haven’t talked to Jerrett directly, but I have a feeling it is going to be a no as well because he has people in his ear telling him not to pay it I think. I think our attorney should probably send him a letter to try and enforce that.” Here is where the subject gets interesting because White Hall and Carrollton share the same city attorney – Bill Strang. At the Carrollton City Council meeting on July 8, Chief McCartney informed the council when they approved hiring Smith as a Carrollton city police officer, that the state would reimburse White Hall for the cost of Smith’s training. They also said that they would be purchasing Smith’s bulletproof vest and some other gear that they purchased specifically for Smith. Smith has been with White Hall for only a little over three months. “Since I represent Carrollton as well, I can’t represent White Hall on the same issue,” Strang said. “The first thing I would do is check on the status of the reimbursement from the state, then review the contract and talk to Jerrett again about it.” The city also lost a full time dispatcher, Andrea Manley, who took a position with the county. Hired in her place was Bree Scott. “I posted this position in hour and had Bree, who is

a part-time dispatcher say she wanted to move up to full time,” Coultas said. “She used to work for West Central Dispatch so she has extensive training and experience. She is already working quite a bit for us so she knows how our system works and will not need any training and could step right in.” The council approved the purchase of a pump and control panel from Municipal Equipment Company at a cost of $26,113.75, which includes freight, but not installation. “This pump will allow air to push the sludge through this pipe,” Vinyard said. “It will require some welding so it is something our guys can’t do so we would need to get an estimate as to the cost of installation. It will take six to eight weeks to get it so it will give us plenty of time to get it all lined up.” For the past few months, the city has been renting a tractor from Sloan’s Implement to haul the sludge, but the tractor they have been renting has been sold. “Since they have sold that tractor, there has been a month or so that we have not had a tractor to do the hauling so we are thinking that maybe a lease program would be a better way to go,” Vinyard said. “That way, we would have the tractor available to us at all times.” The cost to lease the tractor would be $7,000 per year. The city is currently paying $65 per hour to rent the tractor. “The $65 per hour we are paying now is not all that much less than the $7,000 we will pay to least it and we will have it available to use on our roads or whatever need we might have,” Vinyard said. “It is also more convenient.” The lease is a five-year lease with an option to purchase after five years at 300 hours per year. The out-right purchase price is $82,651. The council approved the lease of the tractor at a cost of $7,000 per year.

(Continued from A1) Scott County is slightly above Greene County in the state ranking with the 18th lowest vaccination rate. Among the 16-64 age group, 31.03 percent are fully vaccinated and among those 65 and over that rate more than doubles at 67.52. While Pike County has a lower vaccination rate among those 16-64 than either Greene or Scott, their higher rate among those over 65 gave them an overall higher ranking over Greene at 17th in the state. The rate for those 16-64 was 26.85 but for those over the age of 65 it was up to 71.38. The average rate for the entire state of Illinois for those who were fully vaccinated as of July 14 was 49.77 percent. “We are hoping we can

increase our vaccination rates, especially here in Greene because herd immunity, which is considered a 70 percent vaccination rate, is where we will see less cases,” Peters said. “We are going to see pockets of outbreaks based on low vaccination rates so we want to get those numbers increased.” Peters was asked if there was any plan for increasing the vaccination rate for Greene County. “We still have the open walk-in clinic at the Greene County Health Department and Boyd Hospital does have the ability to do the vaccine clinics as well,” she said. “There has been talk about letting individual medical providers administer it as well. I think that would be very essential to get that going as well because people are already there to see

their medical provider and it would be an easy way to get them vaccinated if they have not already received the vaccine.” Peters said the State, in general, is also doing some door to door administering of the vaccine, but she isn’t took keen of that method of raising the county’s vaccine numbers. “I feel concerned about that method for our staff, especially with recent instances of things that have happened,” she said. “So I that the door to door is something we should look at.

Invasive jumping worms; what makes them so bad? How full is your invasive species radar? Mine is overwhelmed as we deal with the current group of Japanese beetles, emerald ash borer, bush honeysuckle, and so many more. Plus, in Illinois, we are girding for the impending arrival of the very destructive spotted lanternfly. Then a notification arrives the USDA has prohibited the import of boxwood, holly, and euonymus species from Canada to prevent the spread of the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis). I didn’t even look that one up to see what it does, but I bet it’s not good. Hopefully, they will nip it in the bud, so I won’t have to learn a new invasive species, but reports show infestations at three inspection sites in the US. Yikes! Well, if your invasive species runs over as mine does, I’ve got a new one for you that has been confirmed throughout Illinois including McDonough County – the jumping worm (Amynthas spp.). Yes, you read that correctly, there is now an invasive earthworm crawling through the dirt. The pace of the world has sped up and after only a few years, we’re seeing the jumping worm move across the country. How are these worms spreading so quickly? If your very next thought is “humans” you’re catching on to some

common invasive species themes. The invasive jumping worm is believed to primarily spread through transporting compost and mulch. Identifying the invasive jumping worm is a large worm, up to eight inches long, and tends to have very glossy skin. Jumping worm as its name implies will jump, squirm, flip, and perform all manner of impressive gymnastics when touched. Their movement can almost appear snake-like as they thrash in an s-shaped manner. Another characteristic is the jumping worm’s top is darker in color. As they squirm and jump you will see the opposing flashes of color. Jumping worms also have a smooth, milky white clitellum (colored band) that completely circles the body and is not raised. What Makes These Worms So Bad? When it comes to jumping worms, it is fairly new so there are quite a few unknowns. Here are a few things that have been researched or observed: They are voracious consumers of organic matter. Established populations are known to create soil resembling coffee grounds. They can survive almost exclusively on cellulose, allowing them to persist

on mulch alone. The adult worms cannot survive our winters, but their eggs can. Eggs and young worms can be transported on tools and moved on divided garden plants. Preliminary study in Wisconsin shows that when jumping worms arrive in a forest setting, they displace other earthworms until jumping worms are all that is left. Jumping worms have the potential to be very destructive in both home landscapes and natural areas. Is there anything to control these worms? Unfortunately, not. You can remove adult worms to reduce the amount of egg-laying occurring in the soil. Place them in a plastic bag and set them in the sun where they will quickly die. Do you think you found a jumping worm in your yard? Bring in a sample to your local Extension office for identification. Good Growing Tip of the Week: Suspect you have jumping worms but don’t see them? You can extract them from the ground by mixing 1/3 cup of ground yellow mustard seed with a gallon of water. This drives the worms to the surface.

Wages (Continued from A1) “That is a hidden cost that we don’t necessarily see,” he said. “It costs around $6,000 to send one officer to the Police Academy. They are paid while they are attending the academy which accounts for another $17,000 for a grand total of about $23,000 just to put someone through the academy and get them into a White Hall uniform.” There is an additional cost as well because that new officer has to be “mentored” for a time. “They go through the academy and get taught the basics of what an officer does and how to do but, but when they get hired, we can’t just put them in a squad and set them out,” he said. “When they get here, we are basically paying two officers to do the job of one officer because we need a seasoned officer next to him to make sure this new hire is handling the situation right so we are spending additional money right there paying two officers right there while they are learning to be an officer.” Meldrum posed the question of why the officers are leaving and White Hall is not getting the lateral transfers from other departments. The answer was simple – other departments are offering so much more in the area of pay. “Our neighbors are paying their officers a whole lot more than we are so the $23,000 we are spending to train officers is getting stolen by other departments,” he said. “They are taking all that money we are investing and spending to train someone and saying, ‘hey, come over here because we are going to pay you a couple dollars more an hour.’ That much more than an hour ends up being life changing for someone that is young and needs the money so these guys are going to leave and keep leaving.” Meldrum said it is a trend that isn’t going to end anytime soon. “Other departments are going to keep reaping the benefits of us not paying our

officers enough,” he said. “We haven’t been paying our officers enough for a long time. There is an officer here that has been here for seven years and he could leave today and go to Roodhouse or Carrollton and make more money starting at their lowest pay as a new hire than he is making here.” Meldrum asked the other departments what their starting wages were for new hires and received the following information. Roodhouse starts their officers out at a rate of $20.48 per hour, while Carrollton starts their officers out at $21.83 per hour. White Hall officers start out at $18.62 per hour. “You can make a pretty good living just leaving White Hall and going to Carrollton and we are going to keep losing officers to them,” Meldrum said. “We are so far behind on this. We have talked about other issues here in the past that have been let go for years and years without our attention and I believe our officers’ pay is one of those issues.” Alderman Rick Cox said it seems as if the rest of the county is depending on White Hall to train their officers and Meldrum agreed. “We are pretty much training the entire county and its almost embarrassing,” he said. “We need to make our wages to where our officers not only want to stay but make other officers want to come here.” “If you want to start getting lateral transfers and officers saying ‘hey I want to go to White Hall – they need help and it is worth it to me, then we need a $3.50 pay raise,” he said. “We need to stop paying people to go to training. That is the way we make our money – on the other side of the deal. We have to pay our people – you get what you pay for. We have good police officers and we need good people applying, preferably who don’t need training.” City Attorney Bill Strange was present at the meeting

and said that there was a collective bargaining agreement in place but he doubted there would be much objection. The council went into closed session with no action taken afterwards other than to schedule a special meeting for this week to discuss the issue further. Tennis courts are bigger. Brush on one side of the hill on the other.

Help us to know His word, to know the purpose and plan for our life. Until you read God’s word and study His word, you will not know the plan He has for your life. He is the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and the end. How close are you to Jesus? How close are you following His will? Jesus always puts others first. We should too.

and share your Jesus to them. The darkness cannot overcome the Light. Jesus’ word is complete. Jesus is the way. Jesus is the only way. So, changing the Bible is changing who God is. The word of God cannot be changed to accommodate us. Adding to or taking away from the word of God is wrong. Be sure you are in His word, reading, studying will be the way to seek his face and know His will for your life. Stay in His word.

For righteous living and His teachings. Jesus Christ is the Word. God’s word never changes. Anything that is not the truth is a lie. We are all called to be preachers. Maybe not as a pastor, but we are all to share the love of Jesus. We need to know God’s word, so we are not taken in by the false things of the world. Gods word has the power to change lives. Amen.

Jesus’s death on the cross freed us from sin. If you are still sinning, you are still making the same decision you were before. No matter how bad the storm is, God still holds the storm. Submit and know His word so we will not be choked out by the sin of the world. In the covers of the Bible is the truth. The Bible (God’s word) has the salvation and protection of this evil world. We need to be growing the Kingdom of our Father each and every day that He has given us. Joy in the midst of adversity, trusting the Lord, he will provide. God does not always change the situation. He gives nothing to us that He cannot handle. You cannot overcome it yourself. Cry out to God for Him to help you overcome the situation. You need Him! We are called to submit and to know God. The wisdom of God and His word. Don’t be led astray. Sunday morning worship 10:30 a.m. Children’s church provided. Wednesday night prayer meeting 6 p.. Come that we may grow in His word and grow His kingdom. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus is coming soon. Be sure you are pure, you know your destiny. Heaven or Hell.

Why Our Thoughts and Intentions Matter “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV

ne may be tempted to think that what goes on inside our heads is our own affair, and that we can think mean or nasty thoughts all day long and so long as we do not act or say anything mean or nasty, we are okay. But is this really the case? Can we harbor ill will towards our brothers and sisters and be blameless simply because we have not harmed them physically? Our thoughts and intentions have a way of slipping into our words and deeds, unconsciously or otherwise.

For this reason, we should guard our thoughts, for they become intentions, and intentions become words and actions. And even when we have walled ourselves off from the external world, our thoughts influence our own lives. You cannot stew in anger or bitterness and live a good and beautiful life. Therefore, take care to guard your thoughts and be sure that they are good and true and beautiful. –Christopher Simon

“Sending a Message”

Let’s Cook!

LINDA HOSKINS I tried a new recipe last week that turned out really good. It’s not really a summer meal, but you can save this recipe for fall or winter time. I found this recipe for Baked Pasta Puttanesca in a magazine. Puttanesca is a sauce typically containing olives, garlic, capers, hot pepper and usually anchovies. When I made this, I did not put the anchovies in, but I think I may add them the next time I make this. To be honest, I don’t know LI , OLNH DQFKRY\ ¿OOHWV QRW sure if I have ever had them. If you want to know more about anchovies, read to end of column. This recipe makes 10 servings, so I made just a half recipe. It was still a lot for the two of us.

By BILL HOAGLAND The Cook County jail, located in southwest Chicago at 2700 South California, is a huge place; it occupies 96 acres, and at any given time, is temporarily housing roughly 6,000 prisoners who are awaiting preliminary hearings, transfers to prisons elsewhere or an early release from jail as they await a trial date. Over a year’s time, 100,000 prisoners are processed through this jail. Next to the jail is the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building, where all Cook County criminal cases are prosecuted. It is a busy place and people are coming and going all the time—judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, witnesses, parole officers and so on. And you would think that there is a significant police presence at 2700 South California at all hours of the day and night. But maybe not. On July 1, Londre Sylvester, was arrested for violating the terms of his parole and he was placed in the Cook County jail pending a hearing on the breach of his parole requirements. Londre Sylvester was a “rapper.” He was also a felon. He was also a member of the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples, one of the most notorious gangs in the country. He was better known as “KTS Dre.” In case you don’t know, KTS stands for “Kill to Survive”, and is the “official” designation for the Lakeside branch of the Gangster Disciples; the “Dre” in his name relates to the last three initials in his given first name. And to prove to everyone that he was a member of that gang, he had “KTS” tattooed on his neck for everyone to

Remembering who we are, rather than where Something that happens to me quite often is I wake up in a hotel and forget where I am. It may be that I’m on a hunting trip or away at a speaking gig, but I wake up and before my eyes open, my mind tells me I’m home. There’s been a few times I’ve woken up in the dark and made my way to the bathroom. In my mind, however, I’m at home, so I go down the hallway or make a left turn, or something like that. And there have been other times I have walked into a mirror or tried to grab a doorknob on a window or opened the door to the hotel hallway thinking it was the door to that bathroom. As quickly as possible, I must get my wits about me, snap out of it, and realize where I am in order to make the right adjustments. I am in an area that is home to a university. Students move here from all parts of the country. They’re finding out important things like how we communicate, our customs, and what soup beans are. While they are here, they will make new friends and have new directions. And they will adapt to living there because of the new place they have been transplanted. Most of them will spend a few years here while planning to either return home or to some other desirable destination. But what if they could never go back? What if that

option was off the table? And what if one day, I woke up in a place that was my new home? And I could never go back. What if that happened to you? What could you do? Well, you might grumble, but what good would that do? You might long for days gone by. You might become a hermit and never associate with anyone. You might even try to change the people around you, so they become more like you. There is one more option. You could change and adapt. And if you are a Christian, you could see this as the hand of God and could say, “Alright Lord, I get it. I’ll change. I’ll adapt. I’ll live as your follower in a land that is different from my own.” Did you know that several stories in the Bible give us this scenario? I think of people like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. All of these woke up to another country and culture. And if you look at each of these stories you will notice some similarities. Namely these. They embraced their new culture while keeping their convictions and their commitment to God. Here’s another way to put it. You can adapt to your culture and still keep your commitment and your convictions. So here we have these men who woke up in a place that was all new to them. Here’s what they didn’t

do. Q T h e y didn’t grumble. Q T h e y didn’t long for d a y s gone by. Q They didn’t complain about the government. Q They didn’t sit and sulk. Q They didn’t condemn everybody and everything. Instead, they kept their commitment. They followed their convictions. They embraced their culture. And They allowed God to use them to change their new world. Maybe you feel like you are waking up to a country that is new. It’s not home. It’s different. You may not even like it. You can grumble, complain, sit, sulk, blame and condemn. Or just maybe you can believe God wanted you to be alive now, for such a time as this, and embrace the culture as your new place of ministry. ––––––––––––––––––– Q *DU\ KDV WKUHH ERRNV WKDW are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 \HDUV +H DOVR VSHDNV DW JDPH dinners and men’s groups for churches and associations.

Chicago when two cars can pull up to the Cook County jail and shoot someone leaving the jail 64 times. In a news conference this past week, Mayor Lightfoot specifically mentioned this incident and said it is the subject of a “focused investigation.” I bet the folks in Chicago are relieved knowing that. According to FBI statistics, gun sales in the US are at an all-time high this year. Care to guess which state had the most sales in the first four months of 2021? Not only was Illinois at the top of the list—it had four times the number of sales of any other state. I would say folks in Illinois are “getting the message” and it is not a good one. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

see (except for those special occasions when he might be wearing a turtle-neck). But that is not all he had tattooed on his neck. He also had what appears to be a bullseye or target on his neck— probably not a good idea if you live in Chicago and really do care about surviving. Yes, we are referring to “KTS Dre” in the past tense. That’s because he is no longer with us. It seems that on the evening of July 10, his mother came down to the jail and posted his $5,000 cash bail. As he was leaving the jail and walking with his mother to their car, two car loads of unidentified persons pulled up and began shooting at him. “KTS Dre” was shot 64 times. And to add injury to insult, his mother got winged in the knee. I have to assume the gunmen were sending a message to not only “KTS Dre”, but also to members of his gang, some of whom were probably residing inside the jail at the time. But the message went much further than that. And that message is that we have a completely out of control situation in

SCHOOL/SPORTS/NEWS

Midwest Adrenaline takes home USA Softball State Title By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A coaching trio from White Hall and a North Greene softball standout have led their traveling softball team to a second consecutive win in one of the most elite tournaments in the state. Midwest Adrenaline, coached by Travis Dunlap and assisted by his father, Bill Dunlap and his sister, Jessie Evans, along with Chad Hopkins from Lewistown, won the USA Softball of Illinois State Tournament in the 18U, B division in a three-day tournament held in Decatur July 8-11. If you don’t follow travel ball, that might not mean much, but Bill Dunlap assures everyone that it is a very big deal and to win it for the second year in the row is an amazing feat. “To my knowledge, I think there has only been one other team in the history of the tournament that has ever done it,” he said. “I think that was a Quincy team a few years ago.” The geographic area of the players rages from Springfield to Barry and Macomb to White Hall. “This is the best of the best from the local high schools in this area,” Dunlap said. “North Greene has one girl on it this year, Cami Hurt, who had an outstanding game in this tournament and actually drove in the winning run to win the tournament for us.” Midwest Adrenaline isn’t just a team, it is an organization, consisting of four teams – a team for girls playing 10U ball, 14U, 16U and 18U. “This allows us to hopefully work with the girls from a young age all the way up,” Dunlap said. “The oldest ones in this group started travel six or seven years ago.” Only the best of the best plays on these travel teams and the girls who play in the A division of the USA tournaments are the ones Dunlap says are probably going to get Division one and two scholarships. “There are three divisions – A, B and C and playing the A teams in these tournaments just makes you better,” Dunlap said. “We play a couple indoor tournaments during the winter and when spring comes and high school ball gets over with we start playing outside and the first of June is when our season start and we usually play every weekend through early August.” Dunlap recapped the three-day tournament in Decatur which led to the State title. They won the first game over the

Washington Impact 8-0 and then played Danville, barely eeking out a 12-11 win. “They come out and scored three runs on us so we had to come from behind right out of the gate,” Dunlap said. “We ended up scoring seven runs in our last inning to come from behind and beat them. That was a big comeback for us and kept us in the tournament.” Their next opponent was the Peoria Express. Like Danville, they too came out and scored three runs on them before the Adrenaline got on the board. “We came back and scored four runs in the third inning and held on from there to take the lead and ended up winning 5-4,” Dunlap said. “That threw them in the losers bracket and made us the only undefeated team in the tournament. They had to win another game to get back to play us again for the championship, which they did.” Dunlap said the championship game against Peoria was a back and forth game the entire game. “There is a time limit on these games so you usually get five innings in,” he said. “But for the championship game, there is no time limit – you play a full seven innings and whatever happens, happens.” What happened was a 10-10 tie. “At the end of the 7th inning, we were tied so they went to the international tie breaker rule where you start with a girl on second base and no one out,” Dunlap said. “Well, at the top of the 8th, they put their girl on and they scored her so we are down one run going into the bottom of the 8th and then we got two runs to win the game and the tournament, 12-11.” Driving in the running from second base was North Greene’s Cami Hurt. “She was up to bat with two outs and two strikes on her,” Dunlap said. “Her hit ended up driving in the two runs that gave us the win.” One might say that Hurt had a stellar tournament all around. “She tied with another girl for the highest batting average hitting .583 for the tournament,” Dunlap said. “She is also super fast. She hit a line drive to center field which got past the centerfielder and ended up rounding the bases for an inside the park homerun. She is the tallest kid on the team and probably the strongest and she is only 16 years old.” Dunlap said they already looking to the future. “We would love to be the first team to do a three-peat,” he said.

How to help young athletes cope with defeat

The value of athletic competition for children who like to play sports is undeniable. Though not all kids will want to play sports, those who enjoy competing in organized athletics can benefit in myriad ways. Doctors with the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness note that interest in sports should start with the child, not the parent. Such an approach can ensure kids are playing sports because they want to, and not solely because their parents want them to. The AAP notes that when kids are playing sports because they want to, they can take the lessons learned from competition and use them throughout the rest of their lives. For example, Dr. Steven Cuff, MD, FAAP, who co-authored the 2019 report “Organized Sports for Children, Preadolescents and Adolescents,” notes that “the camaraderie and teamwork needed on a playing field offers lasting lessons on personal responsibility, sportsmanship, goal-setting and emotional control.” When competing, some young athletes may have a hard time handling defeat. In fact, even professional athletes routinely acknowledge how much they struggle after a loss. But there are ways parents and coaches can help young athletes cope with defeat. Q Reward effort.

How school shopping has changed in the pandemic era Back-to-school shopping sales have long been indicators that the summer vacation season is coming to a close. Students and their parents may visit area stores or browse online looking for items to make the coming school year a success. Those lists have looked similar for decades, but shopping for school supplies in the pandemic era may prove to be a unique experience. Though hundreds of millions of adults and adolescents have now been vaccinated against COVID-19, there figures to be some lingering effects of the pandemic during the upcoming school year. That could affect which school supplies families buy in the weeks to come. Here’s a look at some of the latest trends. Q A shift from physical stores: According to data from IBM’s U.S. Retail Index, the pandemic has accelerated a shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by about five years. It’s likely that school shoppers will turn to the internet for their supplies, which means local brick and mortar shops should increase their web presence and digital shopping capabilities to reach online shoppers. This includes omnichannel fulfillment, such as buy online and pickup in store (BOPIS) options. Q Reassessment of what’s essential: The pandemic may have changed which items consumers consider essential. For example, clothing

became less significant as a greater number of students were enrolled in virtual learning. Back-to-school shoppers may purchase less clothing and focus more on tech items, among others. Q Traditional supplies become less necessary: In 2020, Deloitte forecasted that a shift in preferences and intentions would result in parents buying fewer traditional supplies, such as notebooks and office supplies, as they chose to invest in digital resources to supplement children’s education. That shift likely will continue into this school year. Q Support for local retailers: Community spirit grew in the early days of the pan-

demic and continues now. Many people prefer to shop in locally owned stores. Eighty percent of customers surveyed feel more or as connected to their communities, according to the business industry consultant company Accenture. Q Customers are trying new brands and products: Shoppers are trying new products out of curiosity as well as necessity. Back-toschool shopping may include novel brands and other items that may not have been readily purchased in years past. Back-to-school shopping may continue to look a bit different than in previous years, spawning trends that may ultimately become the new normal.

There are ways parents and coaches can help young athletes cope with defeat.

put an emphasis on effort and allow athletes to bring up the outcome of a particular competition on their own. Encourage maximum effort during competition and spend time after the game discussing with athletes how they performed and the effort they gave. Remind them that their best effort is all anyone can ask for, which shifts focus from a loss to the effort they gave. Q Communicate privately if effort is lacking. Parents and coaches who feel their child or player did not give maximum effort can communicate those feelings privately without putting the athlete down. Emphasize that the next game is a great chance to show improvement and give maximum effort. Q Encourage a healthy perspective. The COE at MSU also urges parents and coaches to encourage young athletes to keep a healthy

perspective on their participation in sports. Encourage kids not to sacrifice other aspects of their life, such as academics and their social life, to improve their athletic performance. When young athletes focus too heavily on a sport, that can create an unhealthy situation that makes it that much harder to cope with defeat in a positive way. Q Emphasize the individual, not the athlete. Coaches can speak with their players about their lives outside of the sport. Such conversations can show athletes that there’s more to life than just sports and that they’re more than just athletes, which can make it easier to handle defeat. Many successful athletes insist they learn more from defeat than they do from victory. Helping young athletes cope with defeat in a healthy way can benefit them throughout their lives.

Bland wins Best of Show at Jersey Fair

Submitted photo

Madeline Porter works on picking out stickers for her creation.

Will Bland, eldest son of Kevin and Lisa Bland of the near-Eldred area, exhibited at the Jersey County Fair last week and showed those Jersey farmers a thing or two about agriculture. Bland exhibited a gallon of shelled corn from his 2020 crop and won Best of Show in the Agricultural and Garden Products department at the fair. Like any good farmer, Bland was concerned about the quality and presentation of his product, so much so that he spent anywhere from eight to 12 hours sifting through the exhibit searching for cockleburs, cracked or misshapen kernels and bits of cob. The judge took notice and explained that Bland’s exhibit was deserving of the blue and purple ribbons for uniform coloration, strong yellow color, absence of foreign material and lack of cracked kernels. Bland’s hard work paid off and maybe next year he’ll teach them another lesson in agriculture down in Jersey County.

New bill would galvanize wildlife conservation, help prevent extinctions in Illinois New bipartisan legislation in the House and Senate will fund locally-led efforts to help prevent extinctions and help wildlife thrive nationwide. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act will send approximately $26 million to Illinois each year, which the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will use to help the 419 species of concern in Illinois, such as the Blanding’s Turtle, the Lake Sturgeon and the Monarch Butterfly. “We are facing a looming wildlife crisis in Illinois. This commonsense, bipartisan bill will allow us to help at-risk wildlife early with collaborative, voluntary measures before they become endangered,” Elliot Brinkman, Executive Director of Prairie Rivers Network, said. “This will create jobs while restoring habitat for some of Illinois’ most

threatened species.” The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act was just introduced in the Senate by Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.). Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) and Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) introduced a similar version of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act in the House in April. “The historic, bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is by far the most important piece of wildlife legislation in the past half century,” Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, said. “At a time when more than one-third of wildlife species are at heightened risk of extinction, this critical legislation will help recover thousands of at-risk species through proactive, collaborative efforts in every state,
