Crime Stoppers honors WH officer

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Two Rivers Crime Stoppers honored White Hall Assistant Police Chief Eddie Ford recently for his efforts to save an individual who had overdosed on heroin by giving the individual a dose of Narcan to counteract the effects of the drug.

According to White Hall Police Chief Luke Coultas, at approximately 9:30 a.m., the West Central Dispatch Center received a 911 call reporting a possible overdose involving a 37-yearold male in the 300 block of North Carr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upon Officer Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival at the scene, he found an unresponsive male subject lying on the floor showing signs of a possible opiate overdose,â&#x20AC;?

Chief Coultas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subject was

not breathing and his color was turning blue. Since we are equipped with Narcan, Asst. Chief Ford administered a round of the drug to the subject and started CPR.â&#x20AC;?

After a few minutes, Ford administered another round of Narcan and resumed CPR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple minutes after the second round of Narcan, the subject began to regain consciousness,â&#x20AC;? Chief Coultas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If not for the quick actions of Asst. Chief Ford, this story could have certainly had a different ending.â&#x20AC;?

Chief Coultas commended Ford for his quick action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did great on this call because he was alone until EMS arrived 10 minutes or so later, which can be a pretty daunting task when an entire family is looking for you to do something,â&#x20AC;?

Chief Coultas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oftentimes offi-

cers are required to wear several hats and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get the recognition they deserve. I know he probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any recognition but he deserves it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he certainly is an asset to this community.â&#x20AC;?

The heroic actions of Ford was enough to get the attention of Two Rivers Crime Stoppers which has implemented a Recognition Program for police, fire, EMS and dispatchers who recognize these individuals when they perform a life-saving act or just perform an act of kindness in general.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eddie was chosen by his chief to be recognized by this program,â&#x20AC;?

Two-Rivers Crime Stoppers Secretary/ Police Liaison Brenda Schulte said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chief Coultas contacted our Facebook page and asked if we could give him (See, CRIME STOPPERS, A2)

Man dies in camper fire at Roodhouse Rez

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press An unidentified male individual died in a camper fire at the Roodhouse Rez Monday night.

According to Greene County Coroner Danny Powell, the Roodhouse and White Hall Fire Departments were dispatched to the Roodhouse Rez Camping Grounds at approximately 11:10 p.m. to a camper on fire on the grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upon their arrival, they found one camper fully engulfed and another camper had caught fire, as well,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After extinguishing the fire, they discovered that there was a body inside one of the campers and so I was dispatched to the

scene at around 11:45 p.m.â&#x20AC;?

Powell said once he arrived at the scene, he collaborated with the Greene County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department and the Roodhouse Police Department, who were also dispatched to the scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that we should call in the Illinois State Fire Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office along with the Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigation Unit to process the scene for us,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An autopsy was performed on the male individual Tuesday morning at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield.â&#x20AC;?

The results of the autopsy have not been released as of Wednesday morning.

Greenfield Soup Ministry set to begin 10th year

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A simple idea that was born in 2009 to prepare and deliver homemade soup to persons in the Greenfield area each month from September to April is still going strong 10 years later.

The idea stemmed from the ladies of St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish in Greenfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, the ladies who gathered donated the basic ingredients such as celery, carrots, onions and then someone always had beef soup bones or chicken or potatoes to provide the base,â&#x20AC;? Parish Member Martha Rawe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The list of recipients was made by ladies from persons that they knew in the community who could benefit and/or appreciate some hot, homemade soup.â&#x20AC;?

Over time, this list grew to include those who lived alone, the elderly, those who had surgery or some other illness, those who had a new baby and those who were newcomers to the community. The ministry work became known in the community and the group began to receive monetary donations to help with the preparation of the soup.

Five years down the road, however, in 2014, the ministry hit a bump in the road, so to speak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the original group had died, moved away or simply could no longer help with the making of the soup and the donation fund was almost depleted,â&#x20AC;? Rawe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was enough money for one more (See, SOUP MINISTRY, A2)

Carrollton expecting to receive grant monies

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

C

arrollton City Council met for its monthly workshop on June 25 and discussed the many grants the city has been fortunate enough to obtain, including the $200,000 Safe Routes to School Grant it was awarded recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to meet with the powers that be on July 3 to give us some addition information on things that are going to be important to this grant,â&#x20AC;? Carrollton Mayor Joe Montanez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure everything is done right and flawless. We were one of just a handful of cities that got this funding so to me that is quite an accomplishment.â&#x20AC;?

City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap informed the council on the status of the squad car grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next 10 days we should receive the USDA funds for the squad car grant,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have submitted all the invoices for that so I think that is in the process. I also resubmitted the paperwork for the USDA Rural Business Support Grant and I think that is in the process of being finalized, as well.â&#x20AC;?

At the June regular council meeting, the council approved moving forward with establishing a TIF district within the city.

Because many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what a TIF district is or what it does, the city will address this in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a date yet, but we will have a public forum where citizens will be invited to come and find out what a TIF district is and how it is going to benefit this city in a positive way,â&#x20AC;? Montanez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen them work in other areas and I think once the public is made aware of the positiveness of a TIF district, at least for Carrollton, I think they will be surprised.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman Larry Gillingham, who at first was skeptical about TIF districts, has had a change of heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After talking to several people from communities who have these TIF districts, I am kind of sold on it now too,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are going to grow you have to have this master plan. The people I have talked to that were supporting me in my effort to control spending â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they realize this is something we have to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is not something we are just doing for the heck of it. It has a definite purpose and hopefully people will see that it is ultimately a good thing.â&#x20AC;?

Dunlap was given the OK to seek bids for a backhoe for the city and is expected to bring back bids at the next city council meeting in July.

Carrollton football engages in community projects

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press From little acorns big trees grow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one could say that is the driving force behind a recent rehab of the alley behind the Dairy Bar. Members of the Carrollton Hawk football team donated their time and other individuals donated equipment to turn what was once an eyesore into something nice.

The Dairy Bar is located on the corner across from Jiffy Stop and the library. Behind the Dairy Bar is a little half alley that runs from the Dairy Bar to Shade Financial next door. For many years, a dumpster has sat at the end of that alley. Patrons walking down South Main had to walk past it to get to the Dairy Bar and everyone who ate at Subway or stopped at Jiffy had a clear view of the dumpster and the trash.

Dairy Bar owner Shaana Gray didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the setup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A while back I realized that that was an eyesore and that there was just a lot of trash behind the dumpster and it was nasty looking,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to eventually clean it out but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who actually owned that little section that we had been using for our dumpster.â&#x20AC;?

Gray eventually found out that she and Mark Shade, owner of Shade Financial, were co-owners of the alley.

As a business owner, Gray attended one of the Carrollton Square Initiative (CSI) meetings and casually mentioned that she would like to clean out that alley.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

A country boy can survive As a young adult, I worked for a mining company. My job allowed me to stay in the mountains all day. We only saw a boss on Mondays and Fridays. I prospected for coal by core drilling. It was a great job. It was there I learned about trees, and how to find ginseng, and morel mushrooms. Those short years impacted by outdoor life more than any other stage of my life. It was at that time when I really did come to the point I believed “A country boy can survive.”

Even though I was gullible toward some things, I knew in order to get to the good stuff, I had to be willing to jump in even when I wasn’t sure about the outcome. More than once, I was the brunt of

a joke because I ate something or did something that I really shouldn’t have. Like the time I ate the root of a plant because my mentor told me that Indians did. It turned out that that it was some sort of bitter root that made me feel like I had swallowed my grandmother’s pin cushion. You may ask why somebody would do you that way. Because they knew I would bite (pardon the pun).

They knew I would try it.

They knew I would jump in.

How many times have you offered a child a bite of food that he has never tried, only to have him respond “I don’t like it?” You say, “But you’ve never even tried it!” And he says, “I don’t like it.” And you scratch your head (because

he’s just like you were). Well, when I was a young adult, I was willing to try most anything. I knew since my little city offered very little, I must expand my horizons when given the opportunity. Sometimes I was glad I did and other times I was not. But I do think it is certainly the way to go because I also think regret is more painful than failure. For me, regret lingers longer and has nothing to fall back on. If I fail, I can at least say I tried, and move on. If I take no action, I wallow, wish, and wonder about what could have been. If you are a follower of Christ, God calls us to step out into areas that are risky and unknown.

He does so, so that He can do miraculous things in and

through our lives, so others will become followers as well.

Every now and then you may taste the sting of a bitter root, but I promise the sting of regret will hurt more… and longer.

Crime Stoppers (Continued from A1) some recognition for this life-saving measure. Earlier, when we decided to implement the program, we contacted all agencies and told them to please recognize their fellow brothers and sisters.”

Two Rivers Crime Stoppers has been very successful since its inception in April of 2017.

“Since that time, we have helped remove $30,000 worth of drugs off the streets and have helped get 60 wanted persons arrested, along with the board approving $4,355 in payouts,” Schulte said. “Of that amount, $1,750 was never collected on. I think people are just calling now because everyone is tired of crime, and most of the warrants and crimes are due to drugs, mostly

controlled substances, such as heroin.”

Narcan is the drug that reverses the effects of opioids or any overdose.

“The CDC stated that in 2017, 70,237 people died from drug overdoses and 47,600 of those were opioid related,” Schulte said. “According to them, they are seeing encouraging signs in response to the opioid crisis in the U.S. but we here at Crime Stoppers don’t see that.”

Between 1996 and 2014, Narcan has saved 26,000 lives. The White Hall individual adds to that statistic.

One of the followers of the Two Rivers Crime Stopper Facebook page posted this: “I hope this overdosed individual is thankful for Mr. Ford’s professional efforts and turns his life around to

become a productive member of society. His next drug encounter may not turn out as well as this one.”

Schulte agreed.

“We hope for the same thing – that the person who has a second chance at life takes it serious and decides to seek some kind of treatment,” she said. “We don’t want to put people down, but we do want people to be productive citizens in life and follow the laws.”

Soup Ministry (Continued from A1) day of soup so the decision was made that December would be the last month because circumstances seemed to indicate that the project had served its purpose.”

However, this was not to be the case. One week after the decision was made to end the ministry, two donations totaling $300 were received.

“It seemed as if one of our problems – funds – had been resolved, but the other problem of delivery remained,” Rawe said. “This was resolved by requesting help from Greenfield High School and it became a project of the National Honor Society and the Student Council. And so, the soup ministry continues.”

How does it work? First, the ingredients to make the soup are purchased and then volunteers, who now include both women and men, gather at the church at 8:30 a.m. to peel, chop, slice and dice the ingredients. The soup is done by 11 a.m. and the high school students arrive at St. Michael’s Hall to deliver it.

There are three to four kinds of soup made on a rotating basis – chicken noodle, beef vegetable noodle, potato and hamburger. The soup has no added salt to avoid dietary restrictions of some recipients. It is ladled into instant ice tea jars or quart canning jars, if there aren’t enough ice tea jars.

Each month 40 to 45 jars of soup

2019

are made and distributed throughout the community with names added and taken off the master list each month.

“Initially, upon receiving a jar of soup, the question most of them had was why them or they wanted to know how much it cost or who they had to pay,” Rawe said. “Now, however, many in the community know it is soup day and that they should save the jars and, if they are able, make regular donations to support it.”

Rawe said the rewards are many for all of those involved.

“For the high school students it counts as a community service project that will look good on their college applications plus an opportunity to meet older, unrelated members of the community,” she said. “Afterwards, it is a hot bowl of soup and a chocolate chip muffin for lunch and the afterglow of gratitude and love they receive from those they deliver the soup to.”

On the opposite side of the fence…

“For the recipients, it is a hot homemade soup and the answer to the question of ‘what shall we have for lunch or supper today,’” Rawe said. “Along with a friendly smile and a warm hello.”

But perhaps those who benefit the most are the volunteers.

“For them it is an opportunity for fellowship and community service,” Rawe said. “It is real life feeding of the hungry and visiting the sick and in the

end a sense of a job well done and of carrying on the work of others which began so long ago.”

Another question often is if there is a recipe. Rawe said there is, but it’s not your typical recipe.

“The recipe is simple – see a need, gather the people, do it with love and give it as a gift,” she said.

The ministry is always in need of empty instant tea jars. These can be left at St. Michael’s Church in Greenfield. For all other donations, please call Rawe at 217-320-3965.

back on Thursday to finish the job by removing the excess dirt, grading the alley and putting in the rock. We asked Coach Smith to bring back some of the young men to help us finish up.”

Pinkston wanted to recognize Coach Smith and the football players for volunteering their time on the project as well as Ben Schmidt who provided the use of a skid steer loader and Jerry Smith who assisted with the project.

“This project is a result of the CSI engagement with the community providing a venue to identify opportunities for the community and to connect groups that can get things done,” Pinkston said.

But Gray said she is not done with the alley.

“Mark (Shade) and I kind of talked about it and I would like to get some planters in there with flowers eventually,” Gray said. “Just some kind of landscaping to make it look nice. We can’t do anything too extravagant and we don’t want to do anything permanent in case either one of us would need to use the alley for whatever

reason – we wouldn’t want to have to tear it all up.”

Gray is just thrilled that the mess has been cleaned up.

“This project seems very little but I feel like it is all the little differences we make around our town that just add up to making it a lot nicer visually,” she said. “All the little things add up to make a big difference in the end.”

Gray wants to thank both Pinkston and the football team.

“For Pat to even remember that I had that as a goal and then engage the football team to do all this work for something that was just an idea in my head – I think that is just awesome,” she said. “I just couldn’t be more thankful because anything is a small project when you have many hands doing the work.”

Pinkston provided a trailer and the boys loaded all of the junk from the alley onto the trailer and it was taken to the dump. He also volunteered to go pick up a load of gravel to be spread down the alley. Ben Schmidt provided a skid steer which was used to load the gravel and spread it down the alley.

“Coach (Nick) Flowers challenged his assistant coaches to find community work projects that the players could do and one of his coaches, Jacob Smith, contacted me about four weeks ago asking if the CSI had a project he could do,” Pinkston said. “As you know, we have been engaging many of the business owners and in discussions with Shaana, she mentioned that she would like to get that alley cleaned up. So, we arranged for Coach Smith and the team to work on it.”

We need to be slow to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.

We are all sinners from birth so we become sepa-

rated from God. When we are saved we are forgiven. We are saved by Grace alone and as His children we are to be doers of His word, not hearers only. We need to live our lives so they show our love for others. By loving others we show them God's love through us. We need to help those in need even when they have no way to repay us for our kindness. Are you showing your love for God to others?

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

It almost sounds like a broken record except it is good to repeat. God continues to bless Walkerville Baptist Church with great attendance and music. With Murlene at the piano and Farrelll leading the singing, we continue to praise our Lord and Savior. Our men are nearing the readiness of pouring our new sidewalk and entrance. Our Scriptures were found in Job 1:6-12 and 1st Cor 10:13. We explored the ways Satan seeks to destroy Believers. We looked at ten different

ways Satan attacks the Believer in his home,community and church. Most all of the Scriptures were found in the New Testament. Make no mistake, if you are a believer Satan hates you and will try anything to destroy you, your witness and your church. There are five defensive pieces of armor and two offensive weapons for the believer. We must put on the armor of god,which includes the defensive weapons of truth, righteousness, gospel proclamation, faith, and salvation. We must also employ the offensive weapons of the sword of Scrip-

ture and Prayer (Ephesians 6 11-18.) We praised God this morning for Dan accepting Christ last week, also for Ava's test results were good and Jessica's surgery went well. Our recent prayer requests are Dianne, the Ingram family, Vera, Debbie, Bud/Diane, Bettey, Harold, Robert/Marjie, our church family. We invite you to join us each and every Sunday morning for our 10:30 a.m. worship service. Please note, Wednesday Evening Bible study as been cancelled for the month of July and will resume in August.

Why We Suffer “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”

Psalm 34:8 NIV

W

hy we suffer is complicated and doesn’t have a simple answer.

The Book of Job is one response to this question, with Job, an admittedly good and upright man, asking God to explain why he is suffering so much misfortune. Job’s friends put the blame on Job, suggesting that he is being punished for something he did. This is a natural response. When we see someone suffering from cancer or heart disease, we often wonder if their lifestyle led to their disease. While it is often true that we have contributed to our own problems, we should resist the urge to blame people’s suffering on themselves.

Sometimes suffering is the result of natural forces (viruses, hurricanes, earthquakes, and the like). While these “acts of God” are often blamed on God, or at least suggest a God who is indifferent to our welfare, these events often bring out the best in humanity.

When natural disasters occur, noticing

those who help is often what redeems our faith in God and man alike. Finally, there is a significant amount of suffering that is caused by our moral failures. Man’s inhumanity to man is perhaps the greatest indictment of our humanity. Couldn’t God have created us to be kinder and less prone to evil? But to blame God for the evil that we do is to forget that God gave us free will. Our human nature is usually inclined to prosocial behavior but can easily go awry.

In the end, our response to why we suffer is highly personal and reflects how we think about God and the nature of the cosmos.

Rural pharmacies to receive state financial help

By PETER HANCOCK

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

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

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

the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicaid program.

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

The program was included as part of the budget package that lawmakers approved during the 2018 session. It will be funded for a second year in the budget that takes effect July 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This administration worked aggressively to launch this vital program as rapidly as possible, and we are pleased to help support local pharmacies that are so often critical to our members and to communities throughout Illinois,â&#x20AC;? said John Hoffman, DHFS director of communications and public affairs.

State Sen. Andy Manar,

D-Bunker Hill, who pushed for funding of the program, said in a statement Monday that the program is intended to help small, independent pharmacies in small towns stay in business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This funding is going to be a major boost for rural pharmacies and will help keep them open while we find ways to combat the rising cost of prescription drugs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finally leaving the gridlock of the past behind and bringing this needed program to communities that are at risk of losing their local pharmacies.â&#x20AC;?

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

Attorney General reminds residents to be on alert for flood-related repair scams

As several Illinois counties continue to experience record levels of flood waters, Attorney General Kwame Raoul today reminded Illinois residents to be vigilant for scammers looking to exploit home and business owners in need of repairs from floodrelated damage.

Last month, a state disaster proclamation was issued for 34 counties, and more than 400 Illinois National Guardsmen were activated to provide additional support in river communities. Representatives of Raoulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office have visited some impacted communities to provide information to help homeowners and business owners avoid repair scams when floodwaters recede.

Raoul reminded residents that scammers often move quickly into communities to exploit people with damage to their homes or businesses. Raoul noted these â&#x20AC;&#x153;storm chasersâ&#x20AC;? use the opportunity to pressure people into making quick and often expensive decisions about cleanup and construction work.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) has received reports that storm chasers have already started entering some communities to take advantage of residents and business owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Record flooding has devastated river communities throughout Illinois, and it is critical that homeowners and business owners are on alert for scammers who will use the devastation left behind to line their pockets,â&#x20AC;? Raoul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage people to contact my office or check with the Better Business Bureau to find out whether complaints have been made against a particular contractor, and to be wary of any individual who solicits home repair or insurance adjusting services door-to-door.â&#x20AC;?

Raoul also warned residents that scam artists may be operating as insurance adjusters or public adjusters, who also go doorto-door offering to help homeowners obtain insurance money for home repairs. Oftentimes, these adjusters receive a fee or own the home repair company they recommend.

Raoul reminded homeowners that they can work directly with their insurance companies for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appalling that anyone would see this situation as an opportunity to scam others, but unfortunately this is something we often see after disasters,â&#x20AC;? said Acting IEMA Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want everyone affected by flooding to be aware of the potential for scam artists and take steps to protect their personal information. The Illinois Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Consumer Fraud Hotline is an excellent resource for protecting a community from unscrupulous fraud schemes during the flood recovery phase.â&#x20AC;?

Raoul said general contractors are not required by state law to be licensed, but municipalities may require permits or have other local requirements. Home and business owners should check with their local governments for more information about permits or other local requirements before hiring anyone. Insurance adjusters must be licensed by

the Illinois Department of Insurance (DOI), and roofers must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).

Raoul also offered the following tips to help protect families and businesses from dishonest contractors: Q Be wary of contractors who go door-todoor to offer repair services. Ask for recommendations from people you know and trust and, whenever possible, use established local contractors.

Q Call the Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Consumer Fraud Hotline (1-800-386-5438 in Chicago, 1-800-243-0618 in Springfield, and 1-800243-0607 in Carbondale) to check out a contractor and to learn if any complaints have been filed against a particular business.

Q Visit the Better Business Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central Illinois, St. Louis or Chicago websites to see if a business is a member and whether any complaints have been lodged against it.

Q Even if there is a need to act quickly, shop around. Get written estimates from multiple contractors, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rushed into a deal.

Q Get all of the terms of a contract in writing, and obtain a copy of the signed contract.

Q Never make full payment until all the work has been completed to your satisfaction.

Q Never pay in cash.

Q Be aware that you have the right to cancel a contract within three business days if you signed it based on the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to your home.

Q In the case of disaster repair, if your insurance carrier denies coverage, you have the right to cancel the contract within five days of your insurance carrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denial.

Q Ask to see required state and local permits and licenses. Insurance adjusters and roofers must be licensed by state agencies. It should raise a red flag if the roofer or adjuster does not have a required license, or if the name on the license doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match the name on the business card or truck. Please visit the IDFPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website to search for roofing licenses. Visit the DOIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website or call (866) 445-5364 to verify that a public adjuster is licensed and in good standing.

Raoul also reminded consumers that the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act requires contractors to provide customers with written contracts for any repair or remodeling work costing more than $1,000.

A contract must be signed by both the customer and the contractor. The law also requires contractors to carry at least the minimum amounts of insurance for property damage, bodily injury and improper home repair. Contractors also must provide consumers with an informational pamphlet entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights.â&#x20AC;?

Raoul encouraged local residents and business owners to call local law enforcement agencies and his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Consumer Fraud Hotline to report any suspicious activity.

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

Greenfield Library Century Carrollton Cemetery Board calls special meeting Club Drive underway over mowing issues

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It’s that time of year again – time for the Greenfield Public Library’s Century Club Membership Drive – an event that has been raising much-needed funding for the library since 2004.

Library Board President Amy Turpin explained how the drive began.

“This special club was the brainchild of Bruce Haven in 2004,” Turpin said. “His idea was to have an ongoing source of income to provide long-term funding for the library.”

Haven supported the library and served on the board for several years. The Century Club is made up of individuals and businesses who support and promote the library for an annual donation of $100.

“We are very grateful for Bruce’s fiscal foresight because our library, like most other small rural libraries is facing many financial challenges, and community support is essential in meeting those challenges,” Turpin said. “The cost of keeping the library doors open is approximately $25,000 per year and the board and staff work hard to keep the costs at that level. However because of decreasing income, they are again anticipating a deficit in the current fiscal year.”

SHARE and Cloud Library membership fees are $1,500 annually. These allow patrons to access millions of materials from member libraries from across the state. One needs only a barcoded library card and access to the internet.

“Both have been extremely well-received and patrons are using them frequently, so the cost is well worth it,” Turpin said. “For example, Greenfield Library patrons saved $141,191 by using the library and its services rather than purchasing materials during the 2018 calendar year.”

The Century Club Funds are earmarked primarily for the upkeep of the library. This includes purchasing materials and equipment when needed, in addition to maintenance.

“The board has recently begun replacing

outdated hardware,” Turpin said. “A large monitor and wireless mouse are already in use at the librarian’s work station and a faster, more powerful administrative computer is arriving soon.”

The current computer used by the librarian will replace one of the older public access computers with the board’s goal to continue to upgrade all five of the public use computers in order to provide a better experience for the patrons.

Just like in a home, frequent maintenance issues have to be addressed to keep the library in tip top shape.

“Within the last year, carpets were cleaned and a new entry rug was purchased,” Turpin said. “We purchased a new vacuum cleaner and the grandfather clock was repaired so its beautiful chime can be heard once again.”

Plumbing work was done, as well, which included replacing the men’s toilet.

Upcoming projects include giving a bright fresh coat of paint to the rusty book drop outside and next year plans are to replace the old metal spinner racks which contain the paperbacks with new handmade wooden bookcases.

“This will open up the back of the library and create a more inviting space for our patrons,” Turpin said. “The board is currently researching new window treatments since the mini blinds are over 25 years old and are showing their age.”

Anyone who would like to learn more about the Century Club or who would like to donate and become a member, may call the library at 217-368-2613 or stop in. All donors’ names are listed on a scroll which is prominently displayed in the library.

The library board and staff are extremely grateful for the generous ongoing financial support which enables them to maintain the library and to upgrade library services for the Greenfield community.

“We invite the public to stop in and visit anytime,” Turpin said. “We are proud of the progress we have made and want to share it with those who have helped make it possible.”

Maag joins Ghrist Veterinarian Clinic

By BETH ZUMWLT Greene Prairie Press Jacob Maag, a Calhoun County native, has joined Ghrist Veterinarian Clinics as a veterinarian.

Magg grew up in Golden Eagle and graduated from Brussels High School in 2011. He attended Blackburn College in Carlinville, graduating in 2015 before heading to the University of Illinois College of Veterinarian Medicine and graduating this past spring.

“I’ve lived on a hobby farm and had beef cattle all my life,” Maag said. “But I am interested in all types of animals. I’m OK with a good mix of both small and large animals.”

Magg said he chose Ghrist Veterinarian because he wanted stay close to his home in Golden Eagle where he still has cattle.

“I know a lot of folks in this area and know my way around quite a bit,” he said.

Ghrist Veterinarian has clinics in both Carrollton and Pittsfield.

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Carrolton City Cemetery Board called a special meeting for Wednesday, June 26 to discuss mowing issues at the City Cemetery but due to lack of a quorum, nothing was resolved.

The issue came to light on June 20 when a post was made on social media on how bad the cemetery looked. Many local residents visit the cemetery often, putting out flowers and just doing general upkeep around their family’s stone.

Bonnie Baumgartner, of Carrollton is one of those people and she felt it was bad enough that it needed called attention to.

“I have been going out to Carrollton City Cemetery to clean up around my family’s stones a lot this,” she said. “I realize it has rained a lot more than usual this year, but with that being said, everyone’s yard should look as bad as the cemetery but they don’t.

It’s just so sad – worst it has ever looked.”

Cemetery Board President Rick Hires saw Baumgartner’s post and immediately contacted the mowing company that had been awarded the contract to mow the cemetery.

Sunset Lawn Care out of Girard, owned

by Chris MIllburg, was awarded the twoyear contract last year at a cost of $23,500 for this year and an increase of $500 for the second year.

Hires said the board really had no option.

“We put it out for bid but we only had one company bid on it,” Hires said. “There are not a lot people wanting to mow cemeteries these days. Even the ones in the past are

getting out of the business. One bid gives us very little options.”

After several attempts to contact Sunset Lawn Care, Hires finally received a call back.

“According to him (Millburg) he had a major breakdown with a piece of his equipment,” Hires said. “He promised me he would catch up this week.”

The cemetery was mowed, but the fact remains that this isn’t an isolated incident.

Several residents, including Baumgartner and Velma Gillingham, who is also a Cemetery Board member, were at the special meeting and commented that even when the grass was mowed, many times the weed eating was not done around some of the stones.

“At times I have been out there and some of the stones in a row would be weed eated around and then it just stopped at the next stone,” Gillingham said. “Why would you stop in the middle of the row – why would you not complete the job you were hired to do.”

Hires called the special meeting to get permission, should this every happen again, to do an emergency hire of Steve Montgomery to do the mowing.

“I talked to Steve and he said, in an emergency, he could put a crew together and come down here and take care of the cemetery,” he said. “I was also hoping our city attorney would be here tonight to see what sanctions can be taken for non-performance of the contract.”

Hires did say that City Attorney Bill Strang was, in fact, going over the contract to see what actions could be taken.
