North Greene transition almost complete

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press If there was any doubt North Greene School District could move all of the classrooms from the White Hall building to the Roodhouse building over the summer, those doubts were laid to rest at the July 17 board meeting.

Building supervisor Dale Coffman informed the board the move was 98 percent complete with only a few minor details left to take care of.

The closure of White Hall Elementary as a cost-saving measure necessitated moving grades K through third to Roodhouse and moving grades 7 and 8 from Roodhouse to the 1957 wing of the high school in White Hall.

North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens said the arbitrary date for having everything moved was July 19.

“The move has gone very, very

smoothly and I would like to go on record as thanking Dale and his crew for working so very hard to get this done in a timely fashion,” Stevens said. “They have done a great job and just about everyone who has been through the office has had similar comments – they are really happy with how quickly and how smoothly things have gone.”

Stevens also thanked the teachers.

“Some of the teachers opted to move their own rooms which helped us out even more,” Stevens said. “The move has gone about as smoothly as it could have gone and it will be ready a month from now when we have the teachers coming back, so we will be in good shape.”

The board listened to a presentation from David Pistorius of First Midstate about refinancing the district’s long-term debt at a lower interest rate.

“We will probably have a resolution next month to refinance our

2005 bonds at a lower interest rate,” Stevens said. “We won’t be extending the term of the bonds or anything –

“The move has gone very, very smoothly and I would like to go on record as thanking Dale and his crew for working so very hard to get this done in a timely fashion,”

Les Stevens

North Greene Superintendent just refinancing what is left – much like refinancing your house.”

Stevens reported he is in the mid-

dle of negotiations with someone to contract for the special education coordinator position.

Former White Hall Principal Mark Scott had performed the duties of special education coordinator.

“Mark has been doing the job but with his increased load as principal taking over for Cindy at Roodhouse, we are trying to get a specific person dedicated to this,” Stevens said. “It is only going to be a part-time position.”

Stevens said they are looking to hire someone for 75 days a year at a rate of $60 per hour.

The board approved some additional electrical wiring at Roodhouse in addition to approving the purchase of window inserts on the new windows on the south face of the Roodhouse building where new windows were added. The inserts will allow window air conditioning units to be installed.

Carrollton native Mark Darr was hired as assistant principal at the high school at a salary of $50,000, after

Adam Dean, who was being considered for the position, left to become a principal with the Triopia school district.

Last month the board approved the hiring of Caitlin Lagemann as Spanish teacher at the high school. This month they approved hiring Mackenzie Parry as general music teacher and junior high chorus teacher.

In other action the board approved: Recalling the Bright Futures Program Prevention Initiative Coordinator and Parent Educator positions. Recalling three paraprofessional aid positions including a playground aide, a cafeteria/special education aide and a half time playground and lunch aide. Hiring Ryan Crabtree as 7th grade boys basketball and baseball coach. Established a memorial for Dave Beiermann in the form of a new activity fund.

Members of the North Greene School District and the community as a whole are saddened with the passing of one of their most beloved teachers and coaches following a motorcycle accident last month.

George Ridder, 60, died Saturday, July 20, in the intensive care unit of St. John’s Hospital in Springfield.

He was a physical education teacher at Roodhouse for the junior high students in addition to being junior high athletic director, girls basketball coach and track coach.

Ridder was traveling in Jacksonville on the morning of June 28 when he was forced to lay his motorcycle down to avoid several vehicles near Lincoln Avenue. Officials say he was not wearing a helmet at the time.

He was taken to Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville and then transferred to St. John’s with severe head trauma.

Former principal Cindy Carlson Rice said Ridder had been teaching in the district for 13 years, starting out as a special education teacher before becoming the physical education teacher. Prior to that he was the district’s truancy officer.

Though he presented an imposing figure in person, people often referred

from the past

to Ridder as the “Gentle Giant” because of his big heart and his great love for the kids.

“Yes, he was gentle, but he also had a fiery spirit that was all about the kids,” Rice said. “He was very, very interested in kids being successful in life and doing what he could to make sure they were.”

North Greene teacher Shane Feltes agreed.

“George lived for those kids,” Feltes said. “He was dedicated to seeing that their needs were met, whether it be emotional support, shoes or additional academic support. He will be missed.”

Rice was not only a professional friend of Ridder’s but also a personal friend.

“He had absolutely the biggest marshmallow heart on the planet,” Rice said. “He was my original Santa Claus when we started the Christmas Families program here. He would just do anything for anybody. He wanted good things for the community and the kids all the time. He was very dedicated to those kids and they loved him for it.”

North Greene Superintendent Les Stevens said grief counselors were on hand Tuesday morning from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both the elementary school and high school to help teachers and students deal with the tragedy.

Roodhouse water customers will see an increase on their upcoming water bills after the city council approved an ordinance increasing the base rate for water customers $4.35 by a 5-1 vote.

The increase will raise the basic water rate from $42.51 to $46.86 to satisfy conditions of the $6.3 million USDA water plant loan. The increase actually covers two years of increases.

The rate should have been increased last year to cover May 2012 through 2013 but the rates were never raised.

The current increase will cover last year and the coming year of May 2013 through 2014.

The only alderman voting against the increase was Ralph Phillips with the remaining aldermen, including Barb Alred, Terry Garner, Charles Huffines, Jim Knox and Garrett Rogers voting for the increase.

Mayor Tommy Martin in his mayor’s report informed the council two new tires were needed for the Case backhoe. Two bids were received – one from FS in White Hall at a cost of $536.72 and one from a dealer in Jacksonville at a cost

of $405.

Despite the $131.72 difference in cost, the council opted to purchase the tires locally.

“It’s higher from FS, but it’s also handier,” Martin said. “We would have to send a man up there and pay him for the day’s work while they are being changed.”

Alderman Barb Alred said it was more cost efficient to buy the tires from White Hall rather than pay a city worker for doing nothing.

“One of the good things about White Hall is if we need something done at 6 or 7 p.m. after they are closed they would still come and do it,” Martin said.

Council members unanimously voted to rescind the ordinance passed last year which reimbursed property owners up to $2,500 for demolition costs and gave an additional $1,500 incentive when a new structure is built with utilities.

Alderman Garrett Rogers did have one comment to make on the subject before the vote was taken.

“I would just like to make sure we don’t forget about these old buildings in town,” he said.

“Apparently some thought was put into this ordinance. It wasn’t the best thought out in the world

so I’m willing to repeal it.”

Franklin Street, between State and Morse streets, will be turned back into a one-way street going east. This area was turned into a twoway street during the construction of the Dollar General Store.

“I’ve had quite a few people tell me there is going to be a bad accident at the corner of Morse and Franklin by the bank,” Martins said. “There has already been several close calls.”

Council members also approved a motion to have yearly fire extinguisher tests at a cost of $45 for the trip and $5 per extinguisher by Capitol Fire Extinguisher of Jacksonville.

Martin said the contract was cancelled during the previous administration.

“I think the reason it was cancelled was because they were going to do this in house,” Martin said. “But something happened and it never took place.”

Martin said any fire extinguisher 1984 or older would need to be replaced.

“He said he knows we have three or four he had marked the last time he was here which needed replaced,” Martin said. “I know there are two in this office and one or two at the water plant which are pre-1984. We can replace them

ourselves, but he will not service them.”

A motion was approved changing the electric meter reading date from the first and second of the month back to the 10th and 11th.

Martin said the dates needed to be changed to keep residents current on their bills.

“They changed it a couple years ago but the problem is when people move out, the way it is now there are two months bills they have to pay for,” Martin said. “The people are gone before the bills go out and we have to try to collect two months worth instead of just one.”

To keep the first month of the change back to the 10th and 11th from being an unusually high bill with the extra 10 days added, the meters will be read five days later the first month and the next month it will be bumped up to the 10th. The change will take effect in August.

Alderman Barb Alred wanted to go into closed session to discuss a motion to change South Shop part-time workers to 30 hours a week.

After nearly an hour closed session the council approved reducing part-time staff at the South Shop from three employees to two, and limited all part-time employees at the South Shop and the assistant billing clerk to no more than 30 hours per week.

Noted Vietnam War author coming to Greenfield Public Library Aug. 10

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Noted author and Vietnam War expert Dr. Andrew Wiest will be at the Greenfield Public Library on Saturday, Aug. 10 from noon to 3:30 p.m. to sign copies of his book, “The Boys of 67.”

His appearance coincides with the Greenfield Triennial Homecoming.

“The theme of this year’s homecoming is ‘We Salute You,” and it centers around the veterans,” Alderman Steve Hopper said. “He is a huge supporter of the veterans with the books he has written and the things he has done, so I asked him if he would come to Greenfield and sign copies of his book.”

“The Boys of 67” examines the experiences of a company of young men from the only division in the Vietnam era to train and deploy together in similar fashion to World War II’s

famous 101st Airborne Division.

The 160 men of Charlie Company were drafted by the U.S. Army in May 1966 and were part of the wave of conscriptions which would swell the American military to 80,000 to combat troops in theater by the height of the Vietnam War in 1968.

Wiest, a professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, interviewed more than 50 officers and enlisted men who served with Charlie Company, including the surviving platoon leaders and both of the company’s commanders.

Hopper, who was a Squad Leader in Charlie Company, was one of those interviewed by Wiest for the book.

In addition, he interviewed 15 family members of Charlie Company veterans, including wives, children, parents and siblings. He also had access to personal papers, collections of letters, a diary, an abundance of newspaper clippings,

training notebooks, field manuals, condolence letters and photographs from before, during and after the conflict.

Wiest spent six years gathering information for the book, capturing the experiences of the Boys of 67 showing the fighting that Charlie Company saw in 1967 was nearly as bloody as many of the better publicized battles including the infamous “Ia Drang” and “Hamburger Hill.”

Hopper promoted the book in this area by purchasing and donating a copy to the Greenfield Library.

“He is going to have the book for sale at the event, but for those who may have already purchased the book, he will be more than happy to sign it for you,” Hopper said. “He will be speaking about the writing of this book at 12:30 p.m., also.

Wiest is the award-winning author of “Vietnam’s Forgotten Army” and “The Vietnam War 1956-1975.”

Ray pleads guilty in guns, tax case

By STAFF REPORT Greene Prairie Press A Fieldon man tied to the conviction of John “Jay” Jones II, has pleaded guilty in federal court.

David Ray, 54, Tuesday in federal court admitted to felony charges of tax evasion and possession of a firearm by a user of controlled substances.

According the case against him, Ray committed tax evasion by claiming personal expenses as business related costs and then filing false tax returns, or not filing a personal tax return, at all. The press release from U.S. Attorney Stephen Wigginton’s office states that between 2005 and 2010 Ray avoided $1,272,904.83 in federal income taxes that he would have otherwise been required to pay. Ray operated Hunter, LLC and Hunter Farms Wildlife, LLC. Ray was also convicted of possessing firearms while being a cocaine user. Federal agents seized 110 grams of cocaine, 96 firearms and more than 2,500 rounds of ammunition during a search on Ray’s home in February 2012. Ray admitted he purchased and used three to five ounces of cocaine every two to three weeks prior to his home being raided.

“We will zealously pursue gun crimes wherever they occur. This case was unique because it is rare to see complicated white-collar tax crime alongside gun and drug offenses,” Wigginton said. “This case is a model for how state and federal agencies should partner to successfully combat diverse criminal activity.”

Four guns forfeited by Ray in a

separate civil suit, listed by make, model and serial number, were connected to the case against Jones, of Jerseyville, who was sentenced Friday, July 12, for selling a firearm to a cocaine user. Jones was the operator of the Discount House, a licensed gun retailer, at the time of the transactions.

In a statement filed in July 2012 in the civil forfeiture cases, prepared by a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) agent, Ray admitted he was a cocaine user and his wife used her firearm owner identification (FOID) card to purchase approximately 40 to 45 firearms and deliver them to David Ray. Ray did not possess an Illinois driver’s license and therefore had not obtained his own FOID card.

Further, the documents in the forfeiture case reveal Jones admitted to completing illegal firearms transactions involving Ray. The four guns listed by serial number in the Jones criminal case and Ray’s civil case were: one Colt Python revolver, one Colt Police Positive revolver, one Colt Government pistol and one Winchester 63 rifle.

Sentencing for Ray has been set for Nov. 8. He faces up to five years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine for tax evasion and up to 10 years and/ or a $250,000 fine for possession of a firearm by a user of a controlled substance. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines will be applied and considered during sentencing.

DARE show features biteout-of-crime exhibition

By ROBERT LYONS Greene Prairie Press This year’s DARE car show will give the community a chance to see how officers are literally taking a bite out of crime.

Back for its third year, the Jerseyville Police Department’s annual function has continued to expand its offerings with more vehicle categories, food and entertainment, including a K-9 show. DARE officer Sgt. Scott Woelfel said the Sunday, Aug. 4 event is shaping up to a be an all-around family day of fun. The show is held at Jersey Community High School.

“I just wanted to promote a more community-oriented atmosphere, and show them DARE is not just about drug abuse and resistance strategies,” Woelfel said. “We want people to get to come out and spend time with local law enforcement and get to know some of the guys and see what we do outside of our dayto-day routine.”

This year, organizers have expanded to 16 vehicle categories, including divisions for trucks and motorcycles. There will also be a carseat safety checkpoint, where an officer will help parents ensure child restraints have been installed properly.

But, aside from the shine of the chrome and custom paint jobs, likely to be one of the biggest draws is the dog show, where police K-9s will put their abilities on display. Woelfel

said there will even be a biting demonstration.

“Officer (Danny) Green and his group of K-9 buddies that he works with from around the Tri-County area are going to put on a bite show and do some drug searching,” Woelfel said, noting the other K-9 units are from Litchfield and Greene County.

“We were trying to drum up ways to get the community more involved in supporting the DARE program and getting a higher turnout.”

The event is free for spectators, who will also serve as the judges of the car show. Owners putting their vehicle on display will pay a registration fee, which goes to support the DARE program. Woelfel said the Jersey County Street Machine Association is the driving force behind the show, and helped secure $1,000 for the program during last year’s event.

“They’ve really worked to bring this event to Jerseyville and make it one of the better car shows in the area. All of my thanks and gratitude goes to them,” Woelfel said, adding the event mutually benefits DARE and JCSMA. “It was an opportunity for us to promote not only the DARE program, but Jerseyville and Jersey County.”

The JCHS boys soccer team will have a food tent. Woelfel said the event is also open to vendors.

Farm livin’ is the life for me Oliver Wendell Douglas, the famed city farmer from the 1960’s classic television show “Green Acres,” who left the rat race of the big city to move to a remote rural area to become a farmer - well, he’s wasn’t all that crazy after all.

I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but the more visits I make to the big city, the more I come to appreciate the country.

My last trip to the big city was for the Cardinals game this past Saturday. I had won four tickets from work so I took three of my best friends. Because they are all bigger than me and could squash me like a bug if they wanted, their names have been changed to protect - well, me.

First of all we have Tillie the Tank - our driver. She got the nickname because she drives a big old Tahoe and considers herself bigger than everyone else on the road. On our trip to the Fox when she got in the wrong lane and wanted to move over, I remember someone saying “You can’t do that, there is someone behind you.” Her remark - “I’m bigger than them. They will move.”

Sassy Sally always rides shotgun.

To be honest, I was torn between calling her Sassy Sally or Bossy Bertha, because she does have a way of making you do things her way because it just makes life so much simpler. But, as you will discover later on, I think the Sassy Sally was the more appropriate nickname.

Then there was Navigator Nick.

He got his nickname because he knows his way around St. Louis and because he was our guide on which route to take, where to park, etc. That, along with the fact he just really enjoys telling people where to go.

You have the cast of characters, so fast forward to leaving Busch Stadium after the game. We parked in one of the parking garages and Navigator Nick made the mistake of telling Tillie the Tank that she needed to be “aggressive” when driving in St. Louis. He was referring to only letting one car in instead of three or four.

That was while we were on the ramp. When we got on the road outside the stadium - it was a whole different ballgame.

He reminded her once again that she needed to be aggressive and hold her own.

Well, there is one thing you see in the big city that you won’t see here in Greene County - taxicabs. We are used to tractors, motorcycles, even the occasional riding lawn mower, but the taxicab is a foreign breed to us. Cab drivers - well, they are a breed unto themselves.

This particular taxicab was parked on the side and attempted to squeeze his way in as only they can do. Tillie wasn’t having any of it. He inched closer and she pulled up even closer to the car ahead of us. This went on for three or four accelerations - neither one of them giving an inch.

Navigator Nick was sitting behind Tillie the Tank and he was witness to the entire ordeal. The cab driver started making gestures to let him in. Sassy Sally - she gave him

as good as he was giving. She started gesturing to him to get out of the way in a most unflattering way.

I’m behind Sassy Sally, so I’m Much Ado not witness to all About this, but Navigator Nothing Nick is. His eyes become as big as BY CARMEN quarters when the ENSINGER cab driver gets out of his cab and starts toward our vehicle. They get even bigger when Sassy Sally, who was trying to open her own door to confront him but couldn’t because it was locked, rolled down her window and started yelling at the guy.

We are both sitting back there pretty certain this is going to be our last night on this earth but when the window rolls down and the cab driver sees the size of Sassy Sally he thinks twice about the confrontation and hops back in his cab. Sassy Sally, however, has to get in the last word and we are both sure we are going to be headlines on tomorrow’s Post Dispatch. We just knew the guy had retreated to the cab to get a gun and shoot us dead. I looked over and Navigator Nick was hunched down ready to dodge the incoming bullets and I have to admit I followed suit.

Lucky for us, the guy was already inside the cab when she uttered those last words or I wouldn’t be here to write these words.

In Greene County, first of all, we wouldn’t think of doing such a thing, and secondly, if someone did, you can be pretty sure if they did attempt it you wouldn’t have to worry about getting shot. But this was the big city - this was totally different.

If someone cuts you off in traffic around here, you don’t have to worry about them pulling out a gun and shooting you, but you do in the big city. Here, you just say a few unpleasant words and be done with it. There, you run the risk of being shot.

As harrowing as the incident may have been, we had a really good laugh about it. It makes me wonder what city folk, who come to our neck of the woods, think about us and our ways. What tales do they tell about us when they get back to the city? Do they go on about how they followed a tractor going 20 miles an hour for five miles down the highway? Do they remark how odd it was to see a lawn mower going down a city street?

Oliver Douglas, as much as he wanted to be a farmer, could never truly give up his city roots - he always wore a suit to farm in. I think it’s the same way with us - as much as we like to be a part of the big city, we will always be our own country self, expecting city folk to act like the country folk we are used to. And this is never going to happen so we are going to come back to our country life with a much greater appreciation of what we have than when we left.

Robert V. Cronin Robert Vincent Cronin, age 92, formerly of Summit, Ill., died Thursday, July 4, 2013, in Wheaton, Ill.

Birthday

By MARY LOVE

This is a “Once Upon A Time” story. We lived in Hettick in a new bungalow house that our dad and grandpa Love had built. It had a basement, sink in the kitchen, bathroom and a Delco system for power.

I was probably four and brother was nine. He was sitting on the steps taking his alarm clock apart and putting it back together. No, he did not become a jeweler. He built motors for Italian racing cars. I told him “We’re going to the farm tomorrow.

I saw dad loading his bullet vest and mom has made a blue plum pie for you and me to eat here at home and cherry pies to take.” “Yeah, I know” he said. “I saw dad chaining up the Buick. You wait and see, mom has never shifted gears. We’ll get to that horrible hill before we get to uncle Gunny’s. He’ll crawl out with his gun and cut through and hunt. Don’t worry, I’ll shift her as mom clutches.” That is exactly what happened. It is with happiness that I can remember brother (Elmer Love) saying, “Mom, we made it! Now dad doesn’t need to pay uncle Sonneborn to take us Christmas shopping in Alton. You can drive us.” We moved to Alton.

Dad plastered homes down there. We had a fine apartment in aunt Lillie and uncle Frank Love’s home in Alton. Brother walked to school with our cousin, Dean Love. I remember each afternoon taking a streetcar downtown for an afternoon of live entertainment at the Hippodrome.

The only thing I remember is people riding motorcycles up the sides of walls. Dad fixed brother something similar to practice when we lived in the country. John E. Metcalf and Love had a great time on their Indian motorcycles.

A Counting Story - One of the first words we hear is: This little pig went to the market with the last line stating this one cried, “Wee wee all the way home.” Then our mom counts each toe to ten. One, two, buckle my shoe, three, four knock at the door, five, six, pick up a stick, seven, eight, lay it straight, nine, ten a big fat hen. As a child this was senseless to me. It came from the Book of Knowledge encyclopedia. We counted nickels, by fives, to 100 and dimes by 10 to 100.

There were games of counting such as: Hide and Seek, Red Light, Skip Rope, Hop Scotch and Captain May. Debbie Fields, my caretaker and I played a game yesterday. I told her that I thought is was 75 steps to her house from my kitchen. It was 80 steps! She had been coming here 2190 days at 6 round trips per day.

951,200 steps don’t cover 7360 to go to the beauty shop. 7,360 to Meehan’s and 7360 to go to Dr. Turpin’s office.

For four years I was able to attend church. Once a year we went for my eye exam at Dr. Sydney’s office in Jerseyville.

By now Jim Dalton is back home in East Peoria after spending time with Dalton grandsons in Jackson Hole, Wyo. It was wonderful to have Lou Childress Carmody to come see me and the loving way she has of spending quality time.

Grace Plahn lives in Ava, Mo. and

she is a pharmacist at Walgreens in Ava. Patrick Carmody will be attending St. Louis College of Pharmacy.

Grace is the daughter of Patricia and Jerry Plahn and Patrick is the son of John and Louis Carmody.

Our family has known Louise Childress Carmody for 50 years. Her father C.L. was Stanley Maupin’s vet. G.L., Dale Hammon and Stanley Maupin were Masonic brothers.

G.L.’s wife Lou and Pat’s father.

Mother was Vera Westhold, close relative of Jim Story’s mother Eleanor (d). We all were Presbyterians of the White Hall Presbyterian Church.

Stan and Irene were charter members of the Charity Baptist here in town.

When Lou came to see me she hugged me as she did when her aunt Helen Ford introduced her to me.

I can mentally see Lou and Pat as they stood by the piano and sang. Pat was a little older than Lou who was Clifton D’s age. They were in church activities together. Anna Francis Roodhouse was their leader.

A bit of news from Mable Batty Cole - she and her friend Susan Flymor drove to Heritage Care Center to see Gladys Ford before she and her daughter moved to Indiana to be near loved ones. In the yard at Heritage was J. Fred Bauer enjoying life. He said, “My family is taking me to the Greenfield Homecoming.”

Inside, the residents were having cookies and milk. Trudy Cole said, “My family comes to see me each Sunday.” Mable felt good that Eleanor Wayham recognized her. All seemed to enjoy the visit.

Chris Elliot was mowing while Clifton D. and Shirley were trimming spirea. Chris came over to compliment them on their work.

While C. and S., went to Meehan’s Deli, I surprised them with using the Love grandparent’s silver; the table looked fetching with green chargers on white placemats. Mel’s lady patient gave those to me. Her father owned the first railroad Pullman and dining car.

Bob Pembrook - I’m sorry for your loss.

Shelby Engel’s mother-in-law lived across the street from us; we enjoyed watching the Engel girls at play. We give to you neighborhood condolences.

Whoopee! My grandson Jeremy Crumly, his wife Brooke telephoned me right after Clifton D. and Shirley had spent the day with me. After talking with them Addie (5) said, “Hi, great grandma, I sure love you.

Thank you for the dollar bills you sent. We have an ice cream man in the summer. Oh, yes - I have my very first manicure. They’re shell pink (finger nail) and so pretty. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck, great grand.

A.J. has a new book. He rides his bike on their walks. He enjoys playing with friends. Averie plays with Addie.

Reverend Hans came with communion and healing oil. He and his wife went on vacation during the month of August.

Debbie Fields and I thank you Lou Childress Carmody.

‘Til next time!

Anniversary

Kieffer pleads guilty to insurance Greene County police report fraud, charged in shooting

By BOB CROSSEN Greene Prairie Press The same day former Calhoun County Supervisor of Assessments Sherrie Brandi Kieffer pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and filing a false police report, she was charged with shooting a man.

According to court documents, Kieffer reported a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van, registered to her, stolen Dec. 29, 2012. Filed March 26, Kieffer was charged with filing a false police report and for insurance fraud after the Calhoun County sheriff’s office found the van submerged in the Mississippi River.

Court documents filed Feb. 19 indicate Kieffer “knowingly obtained via deception, control over $3,198.50 … from the Nationwide Insurance Company by making a false claim on an insurance policy issued by the Nationwide Insurance Company.” She pleaded guilty to those charges on Monday.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said he followed numerous leads in pursuit of the van he presumed to have been stolen before he found evidence – broken pieces of a vehicle – at Riprap Landing north of Hamburg, leading to the discovery of the vehicle submerged

in 25 feet of river water.

Recovering the van from the river required two towing companies because the first company’s truck broke as it attempted to pull the van out of the water.

Kieffer pleaded guilty to both charges when she appeared in court for a separate issue.

Filed July 19 were charges that Kieffer allegedly caused great bodily harm to Jeffery P. Angel July 17.

According to court documents filed July 22, “while acting in a reckless manner, [Kieffer] caused great bodily harm to Jeffery P. Angel, in that she recklessly handled a loaded 38 Special Firearm while in an intoxicated state, causing said firearm to discharge, striking Jeffery P. Angel in the thumb.”

Sheriff Heffington said the incident allegedly occurred in the parking lot of The Palace in Hamburg.

Kieffer’s conditions for bail are not to possess or use alcohol, not to possess a firearm and not to enter a tavern. As of Monday, Kieffer was being held in the Jersey County jail with $10,000 in bail which was reduced from $25,000.

Angel was charged with conspiracy to commit insurance fraud in relation to Kieffer’s charges.

Kristi L. Blumenberg and Zachary T. Blumenberg were also charged

with conspiracy to commit insurance fraud in relation to the same case.

Kieffer came under scrutiny as assessor last fall after allegations claimed she was rarely in her office, and not performing her duties of public office.

The charges for insurance fraud and filing a false police report came a little more than two weeks after Kieffer was removed from her office as supervisor of assessments in a unanimous, five-member vote by the county commissioners March 12.

The Calhoun County commissioners cited a number of failings as reasons for her removal from office, and appointed former Jersey County Supervisor of Assessments Tom Glynn as an interim assessor to fill her vacancy. Kieffer ran uncontested for her position in November 2013 when she was reelected to office.

In May, Kieffer was indicted with six counts of official misconduct for selling county assessment records for personal gain, according to documents filed May 7 with the Calhoun County circuit clerk.

A hearing for those indictments was continued to Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. when Kieffer will also face a sentence for insurance fraud and filing a false police report.

The following police reports were filed between July 15 and July 19.

These reports are public information and are obtained from the Greene County Circuit Clerk’s office. All individuals listed have been arrested and charged, or cited in the case of traffic violations. All are innocent until proven guilty.

Risk Management deadline remains unchanged

USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Scherrie V. Giamanco, State Executive Director in Illinois announced an extension of the FSA acreage reporting deadline today.

Farmers and landowners have an additional 18 calendar days to submit their annual report of acreage to their local FSA county office with the deadline extended from Monday, July 15, 2013, to Friday, Aug. 2, 2013.

Only the FSA reporting deadline has been extended. The acreage reporting requirement for crop insurance has not changed and remains July 15.

“We want to ensure our producers maintain their program benefits by filing their reports accurately and in a timely manner for all crops and land uses, including prevented and failed acreage,” said Giamanco.

Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for various programs, such as the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP); the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE); the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); and the Non-insured Crop

Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).

Acreage reports for FSA are considered timely this year when filed at the county office by the new applicable final crop reporting deadline of Aug. 2, 2013. Producers should contact their county FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines.

While FSA is able to extend its deadline, Springfield Regional Office Risk Management Agency (RMA) Director, Brian Frieden emphasized today that RMA’s acreage reporting date remains July 15, 2013, for most spring planted crops in the country. Farmers are reminded to report any loss within 72 hours of discovery to their insurance company. Farmers must report prevented planting acreage to their insurance company, in writing, within 15 calendar days after the final planting date.

Losses must be reported and an insurance adjuster must view and release the crop before the crop is destroyed.

Farmers are also reminded to contact their insurance agent if they have any questions about coverage, prevented

Drop your anchor at Towboat Festival Roll your way down the river to where the mighty Mississippi and Illinois rivers meet and celebrate the Shiver Me Timbers Towboat Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 27 – 28 on the riverfront in Grafton.

Enjoy a little music, a little bit of barbeque and a whole lot of fun touring working towboats and experiencing life on the Mississippi River. The festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Admission is free.

The river will take center stage as a towboat will pull into the riverfront for the festival. Have you ever wondered

what it is like living on the river? The towboat will be on display and visitors will be able to tour the inside. Take a glimpse into the day-to-day life for the crew working and living on both boats with free tours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, weather permitting.

“This is a fun and educational event that showcases the towboats that travel the Mississippi and Illinois rivers,” Brett Stawar, president and CEO, of the Alton Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau, stated. “It’s a celebration of our rivers and a chance to learn about the importance and significance

of the towboats.”

To learn more about the river, there will be environmentalists and historians at booths to give the public an insight into the towboats on the rivers. There will be plenty of live music entertainment and food both days. There will also be special promotions and events provided by local businesses over the weekend including wine and lodging specials.

A8 Charity Southern Baptist Church news

Wednesday, July 24, 2013

Rev. David K. Ford and Charity Southern Baptist Church invite you to worship with us. Sunday school is at 9:30am, church at 10:30. Choir practice Sunday evening at 6, church service at 7. Wednesday night family supper 6 pm, Bible Study 7 pm.

If you need a ride to any service, please call Kelly Moore 217-2480901. Our purpose in our church is to honor God, reach the unsaved, and with our utmost ability and faithfulness promote growth in the Lord. In so doing, we will support fellowship, become alert for new prospects and always work to reclaim inactive members.

Last week Brother David gave a message from Revelation 2:1-7. We all as Christians get to know and love our Lord, Jesus, but sometimes aren’t very good at loving Him. Like in our families, we often find ourselves neglecting the relationships of those we love, The Lord included. Just like Jesus says in John 14:15 “If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments.”, we have to be on our guard against the evils that try to penetrate our lives. We remain faithful to our spouses out of love and respect for them and we keep God’s commandments out of love and respect for Him, not obligation. We are to hate the wicked and love the good. Repent from our evil ways and look toward Jesus for His guiding light and direction. He will lead us down the straight and nar-

row. Continuing to hold a deep relationship with Him keeps us close and keeps that bond to Him strong. We are warned in this scripture to keep our “First Love.” Before anything else, we need to make Jesus the First priority in our lives and show Him that we love Him by loving His Loves, our neighbors. It’s also important to recognize that “Love” isn’t just a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s the way we treat others. You can love your neighbor without being “In Love” with your neighbor. To live in the same manner as Christ out of love is to win eternal life with Him in Heaven.

This week, Brother David gave a message from Revelation 2: 8-11. Jesus is talking to the angel of the church of Smyrna and encouraging all to continue their good works and continue to live true to Him. He knows our works and He knows our hearts. He knows who loves Him and who is pretending. There is no hiding our sins from Him. He knows us better than we know ourselves. This may sound scary, but in fact it really is reassuring. He knows the very best and the absolute worst in us and He still loves us more than we know how to fathom. Here, He’s telling us that the devil hates us and because of him, we will endure persecution, strife, struggles and pain, but we are to Keep The Faith! Stand by Jesus and do His good work. Spread His good

Barrow Baptist Church news Word. We can’t save souls, but we can plant seeds in the lost and make room for the Holy Spirit to bring that seed to life. Do this and you will have your eternal reward in heaven with Him. We will die on this earth, but as long as we love Jesus, we will live eternally with Him in heaven.

We had a special sang by Lisa Armold, “One Day at a Time.” Our VBS students also came to sing the theme song from their study this week, “Colossal Coaster World.” Relay for Life team is looking for volunteers to sign up to help out at the food stand during Homecoming.

Greenfield First Baptist Church news The service on July 21, 2013 started with announcements, a time of worship, and the invocation.

Pastor John led the congregation during a time of prayer.

Please pray for the families of George Ridden, Lois Pembrook, and others who have lost loved ones; continue to pray for those on the long term prayer list: AWANA, Judgment House, VBS, Mary Albrecht, Barb Armold, Bonnie Ballard, Janet Barren, Dan Bauer, Tom Benz, Caitlyn Bishop, Shannon Burch, Angie (Jouett) Canavan, Sue Carlson, Marvin Cline, Becky Cochran, Ed Collins Sr., Roland Custer, Debbie Dirksmeyer, Brenda Early, JoAnn ford, Matt Harpole, Bob Harr, Rex Harr, Margaret Henson, Ralph Henson, Gary Jacobs, Mary Jennings, Jeff Johnson, John Kittselman, Patty Knittel, Rae Lomelino, Darla McPherson, Lindell Mesey, Suzie Miller, Caroline Moran, Roger Moss, Tim Moulton, Teresa Newell, Logan Nobis & his mother, Aspyn Pate, Lori Pembrook, W.D. Pembrook, Bob Plogger, Edna Plogger, Hadley Ruyle, Joy Settles, Cassandra Sexton, Luke & Sokha Smith, Shirley Suttles, Sandy Wagner, Elise Walker, Bobbi Jo Waters, Kahla Whiteside, Khloe Wilkinson; and our shut-ins: Louis Baldes, Maxine Booth, Mary

Borcky, Pearl Burnett, Mable Cole, Dorothy Converse, Eileen Scott, and Jolleen Scott.

Pastor John brought the message “Love Compels Us”, from 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. Verse 14 and 15 say For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again." How far does love compel us? We know how to love the Lord and we try to persuade others to do the same.

Christ's love for us compels us. It urges us on in such a way that we cannot help but move forward with it. 1) We are compelled by New Life; our old life is no longer. Sin is dead. Christ died to kill sin and then rose again to give new life in place of the dead. We have new life because of Christ. That is why we live differently, because of the new life offered in Christ. The old life is no longer, we now have a new life.

2) We are compelled because we are saved from God's wrath, judgment, and Hell. Why does one suffer God's wrath and judgment? John 3:17-18, For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is

not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned. How does one avoid this judgment? Joel 2:32, And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Romans 10:9, If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 3) We are compelled because of God's reconciliation. We now look at others in the light of eternity; as souls that need to be reunited, reconciled with a loving Creator. Christ considered reconciliation with God more important than even His own life! Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 4) We are compelled by God's love, passion, and compassion. Imagine how bad God wants us to reconcile to Him. It was for this reason that He sent His own son to die in our place. Jesus died for every person; those near and those far from; friend and foe. That is why our life is forever changed, because of the same love that compelled Jesus now compels us. And because of Christ's sacrifice for us, that is why we tell others. Do not lose heart; you are an ambassador of Jesus love. You are empowered and compelled by that same love. Now go and tell others!

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

On Sunday, July 21, we had 27 attending Sunday school and 36 in attendance for morning worship.

Remember our men and women in uniform and the leaders of our nation in your prayers. Others to remember include Keith Forrester, Audrey Prather, Juanita Muntz, Lucille Seely, Connie Sturgeon, Michael Ryan, Amber Gourley, Jackie Wells, Bill Yerion, Dick Bigelow, Terri Parker, Susie Kieffer, Carolyn Ruyle, Ronnie Vestel, Travis Davis, the families

Mast. One birthday last week was Larry Phillips, he has a twin so where ever you are Lisa, Happy Birthday to you both. If you let someone or something keep you from God than they are closer to God than you are. If God called you for a special reason or a special job and you didn’t do it and God called you home what would your answer be to God’s call? Would it be well done my faithful servant or I never knew you? Every time you fail to obey God, you just drive the nails a little further in Jesus’ hands. You don’t know that kind of pain. Life is hard after life is harder. Aspire to inspire before you expire. Look up for something higher. Trust

in the Lord with all your heart and acknowledge him and he will direct your path. Proverbs 3: 5 and 6 - worrying does not take away tomorrows troubles, it takes away today’s peace. A blind person asked St. Anthony can there be anything worse than losing ones eye sight. He replied, yes, losing your vision. So many of us lose our vision and have perfect eyesight.

Remember when we take our eyes off Jesus, we lose our way and Satan is waiting to jump in be our guide to a hotter place than what we are having in this weather.

Come to Walkerville church on Sunday and enjoy the air conditioner. See you in church Sunday.

Calvary Baptist Church

July 21. Bro. Brad welcome everyone and made the announcements: July 28 we will have Sunday school, then we will have song service, announcement and offering. We will then dismiss and go to Sandy Creek Retreat where we will have some baptisms and a picnic style lunch. Church will furnish plates, cups, napkins and silverware. No evening service. There will be a baptism this evening after the Chosen Ones sing.

Sunday school report by Sis. Mary. Baptismal Certificates given to Bro. Casey and Sis Lisa. Bro. Brad accompanied by Sis. Donna led the congregation in singing of hymns.

Message by Bro. Baxter Romans 2: 1-16. Rome was a place

where the government was based.

We are not to judge others lest we be judged. God’s judgment is just and true. He shows no favoritism.

God wants us to repent of our sins and turn to him. He wants first place in our life. He wants us to tell others about him. As born again Christians, we aren’t to live as the world lives. God created us in his image to be who we are. Being baptized doesn’t save anyone, it’s accepting Jesus as our Saviour that saves us. Does Jesus live in your heart? That’s a true test of a saved person. God gives eternal life.

Sunday evening: Chosen Ones in concert. The presence of the Lord could be felt in the sanctuary.

Was a good crowd present to hear them. After the concert bro. Baxter

baptized his son-in-law Jeremy Wilkinson and grandson Kale. We adjourned to basement for refreshments. Good fellowship was had by all present.

Bro. Bob of the Chosen Ones was unable to be present as his mother is in the hospital having mini strokes. Her name is Elsie Reiter. Please pray for her. Others to pray for are the bereaved, the lost, those in nursing homes and hospitals, traveling mercies, our country and our leaders, out troops and their families, the sick and one another.

Times of services: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; Sunday morning worship, 10:30 a.m.; Sunday evening service, 7 p.m. and Wednesday evening prayer and Bible study, 7 p.m.

On Saturday, July 13 Judy Cannon was honored with a surprise 70th birthday party by her children Ed Cannon and Patti Lallish at the Barrow Church Fellowship Hall. Approximately 50 family and friends helped her celebrate her birthday.

During morning worship Judy Cannon read a piece about a little old lady and her senior moments.

Quite funny. Chancey Sturgeon shared some of the happenings from being a counselor at church camp this past week.

Our monthly ladies luncheon was held Tuesday, July 16, hosted

by Lois Hart and Peggy Clemons.

9 ladies and the hostess enjoyed a tasty meal, games of bingo and lots of fellowship.

Claudine Day won the door prize and Jeanette Weber won last bingo.

Our next luncheon will be Tuesday, Aug. 20th at 12:00 noon at the fellowship hall. Ladies come on out and join us.

Saturday, July 20, 13 members of our church went to the Roots Center to watch the movie Courageous. It was certainly an inspiring movie. If you have not visited the Roots Youth Center, stop in some Thursday night and see the wonderful work being done for our youth.

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

Hillview Baptist Church news Bro. Jason Holliman, Pastor Alice Ford, reporter Birthday: Cookie Smith Announcements: Workday at the church set for Saturday Aug. 3.

Specials: Our praise and worship team sang two songs this morning.

Message: Mark 3: 1-5. Bro. Jason brought a message about the man with a withered hand.

Jesus healed the man’s hand on the Sabbath day. The Pharisees watched him so they could accuse him. But He said to them, “ Is it

lawful to do good on the Sabbath day or to do evil. Jesus looked at them in anger because they had hardness in their hearts.

We should all go about doing good, every day. We need to praise God each and every day.

“Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’”

Matthew 25.44-45

This corporal work of mercy is a difficult one for many to embrace because of justifiable feelings of sympathy for the victims of crime. But, visiting and helping the imprisoned does not in any way diminish the rights or dignity of the victims of crime, and in many cases, there is no clear victim of crime. Many inmates in U.S. prisons are there for possession of illegal drugs, and they are the true victims of their own crimes, and even when there is a victim, the criminal always harms himor herself as well by committing a crime. Worldwide, there are many who are in prison for political reasons or issues of conscience. Some of the values which we should bring to bear on this issue are the dignity of all human beings, the need for and possibility of conversion, and trying to enhance the common good. There are many programs which focus on prison outreach and job training for inmates, and there is much that we can do, both individually and as a society, to help the imprisoned make a transition to a more productive, satisfying life. We should learn about programs in our area where we can help the imprisoned, and support policies and programs which give those who have served time a reasonable chance of leading a good and productive life.

GRAFTON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

Governor Quinn signs laws to make waterways safer for Illinois families House laws crack down on boaters who drive under the influence of alcohol Governor Pat Quinn issued a stern warning Sunday to anyone who pilots a boat while under the influence of alcohol: if you’re drunk while operating a boat, you may lose your right to operate a car.

Standing at Chicago’s new 31st Street marina and joined by the family of Tony Borcia – the 10-year old Libertyville boy killed last July by a drunk boater – Governor Quinn signed two bills to crack down on boating under the influence and strengthen other provisions of Illinois’ boating safety laws. Sunday’s action is part of the governor’s agenda to keep Illinois families safe.

“One year ago, Tony Borcia and his family were enjoying a day out on the lake, tubing behind a pontoon boat. Suddenly a large speedboat piloted by a man impaired by alcohol and drugs bore down on Tony, resulting in this fatal tragedy. We enact this law in Tony’s memory,” Governor Quinn said.

“Tony Borcia could have been anyone’s son, brother, grandson or nephew. People enjoying our magnificent waterways shouldn’t have to worry about reckless, drunken boaters when they’re out tubing, swimming or paddling.”

“We need to change the culture that accepts and even encourages a driver of a boat to drink while driving. It is time to take our lakes and rivers back,” said Margaret Borcia, Tony’s mother, who launched the “Y-noT Project” to encourage responsible boating.

She invited people to visit the project’s website at www.ynotproject.com/.

Governor Quinn Sunday signed Senate Bill 1479 – sponsored by State Senator Julie A. Morrison (D-Deerfield) and State Representative Scott Drury (D-Highwood) – which ensures that anyone operating a motorboat involved in an accident involving serious injury or death must consent to the chemical testing of their blood, breath or urine to determine blood alcohol or drug content.

Operators who refuse testing, test positive for drugs or exceed the legal blood alcohol content limit, face suspension of their Illinois driver’s license. This law takes effect on Jan. 1.

“Drinking and boating is every bit as dangerous as drinking and driving,” Senator Morrison said, Tony Borcia’s aunt and the chief sponsor of the legislation. “I hope this law will make everyone operating a boat think twice before consuming alcohol.”

“Drunk and intoxicated boaters have stolen our lakes from local families, at times resulting

in senseless and preventable tragedies,” Representative Drury said.

“These new laws will keep our communities safer by sending a strong message that the culture of irresponsible boating behavior will no longer be tolerated in Illinois.”

-MOREIn 2012, there were 101 boating-related accidents on Illinois waters, resulting in 17 deaths and 77 injuries. Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 13 of the accidents and five of the fatalities.

Governor Quinn also signed Senate Bill 1310 – sponsored by State Senator Melinda Bush (D-Grayslake) and State Representative Michael J. Zalewski (D-Riverside) – which strengthens the state’s Boat Registration and Safety Act regarding a boat’s carrying capacity, redefines “authorized emergency watercraft” and hikes penalties on boat rental operators who fail to equip their crafts.

The new law, which takes effect immediately, clarifies that a person being towed by a watercraft, such as a skier, tuber or parasailer, is considered part of the total number of passengers for purposes of a boat’s carrying capacity. The clarification will curb overcrowding by closing a loophole for boat operators claiming that a passenger being towed is not part of the watercraft’s overall capacity.

The new law also adds flashing blue lights to the list of colored lights necessary for a watercraft to be designated an authorized emergency watercraft. This will enable Illinois Conservation Police, whose boats use flashing blue lights, to better enforce the law. Finally, the legislation boosts penalties on boat rental operators who fail to properly equip a rental craft with life jackets, a fire extinguisher or lighting.

“With summer in full swing and Illinois residents spending recreational time on the water, ensuring safe waterways is critical,” Representative Zalewski said. “I look forward to working with law enforcement officials to keep our children, families and friends safe while they enjoy Illinois’ lakes and rivers.”

“These new laws will help Illinois Conservation Police officers and other law enforcement units remind boaters and boat operators to be safe while spending time on the water this summer and year-round,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller said. “Staying safe starts with always wearing a life jacket, and never operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Grafton Harbor offers cruises, tours and boat rentals

By BOB CROSSEN Campbell Publications Some new vessels grace the moorings at Grafton Harbor where people can now rent out boats for personal use or take tours on larger vessels with many other people.

Jen Gibson, event organizer, said a seasonal boat named Hakuna Mattata offers regular day cruise tours of the river at 1 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and has special themed trips planned through the fall.

“That is going over leaps and bounds. People are calling for that left and right,” Gibson said, adding the boat tours are seasonal and will end as the colors of the leaves change. “Hopefully, as long as the river is open, we’ll do it through eagle season.”

The River Rambler Cruises – a narrative tour highlighting historical and geographical areas along the river – are 45 minutes long, she said and participants can reserve lunch to eat on the boat which has indoor, air-conditioned seating

as well as outdoor seating on the second floor of the vessel.

Other cruises include shipwrecked cruises where participants ride along on the Hakuna Mattata and act as if they are shipwrecked and become stranded on an island. Gibson said the boat stops at an island for a party with a bon fire and food before taking the boat back to Grafton.

“We’re going to have a big bonfire and barbecue and baked beans and coleslaw and potato salad and have a party out on an island,” Gibson said, adding there will also be a Jimmy Buffet cruise.

She said wine tasting cruises are also planned in addition to a pair of moonshine cruises in the coming months.

But those more interested in intimate river outings can rent a boat – pontoons, runabouts, paddle boats and canoes – for personal use for a set number of hours on the river. She said the costs for each of the boats differ because of their capacity, but noted all the water vessels are brand new.

Lady Tigers benefiting from summer softball SAM ELLIOTT Greene Prairie Press The Greenfield-Northwestern Lady Tigers softball team is taking full advantage of the new summer softball league in Jerseyville.

It's giving the young Lady Tigers roster a local option for an early start on building up their skills and team chemistry before next season.

"It gets the girls playing together as a team instead of everybody going their separate ways with select ball," coach Heather McEvers said. "The league was designed to get your local schools playing together through the summer. That way you don’t stop in May and not pick a ball up together again until March."

McEvers and Kristie Ornellas are leading the Lady Tigers this summer to give two-sport head coach Caleb Williams a summer break.

"We’re trying to get them all on the same page and going ahead and giving [Williams] a head start with them with reading the signs, learning his plays and stuff like that," Ornellas said. "Hopefully it won’t be as hard when we get all these freshmen coming in."

Nearly half the Greenfield-NW roster was comprised of freshman during the Lady Tigers' latest summer outing Monday.

But youth didn't deter the squad as it went on to rout Roxana 23-5 with the entire lineup providing offense.

"It's nice when we can do that," McEvers said. "It doesn't always work out that way."

With as many first-year players Greenfield-NW has, the summer is giving them a chance to get work at positions the

team may need them in come spring.

"Most freshmen aren’t always going to come into high school playing the same position they did in youth league," Ornellas said. "This gives us an opportunity to develop them for different positions that are needed. They’ll get a chance to play and we need to fill in spots. This is giving us a chance to move them around and have them learning different positions."

Additionally, the Lady Tigers' summer coaches are helping bring incoming freshmen into the program by pairing them up with upperclassmen who can show them the ropes and help them adjust to the high school game.

"We gave all of them a 'big sister' earlier in the year. That way they've got somebody to teach and welcome them before the spring," McEvers said.

"Now you don't have your group of freshmen who only ever talk with the freshmen. We gave them the 'big sisters' and now they've got somebody they can ask questions and talk to in the dugout. I think it's working really well."

With the program's latest additions getting a head start on their rookie season and Greenfield-NW veterans honing their skills during summer action, the Lady Tigers hope the hard work pays off with wins next spring.

Their next summer league outing is a doubleheader against West Central beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 31, in Greenfield.

The Carrollton Hawks continue their summer league schedule with a doubleheader against Civic Memorial beginning at 6 p.m. Monday in Jerseyville. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Foods that can help fight cancer Cancer affects the lives millions of people across the globe. When detected early, cancer becomes a significantly less formidable foe, as survival rates for cancer patients whose cancer was detected early are much higher than those whose initial diagnosis came after the disease had progressed into its later stages. But early detection isn't the only way to beat cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a healthy diet that includes at least 21/2 cups of fruits and vegetables

each day can help men, women and children lower their cancer risk. Fruits and vegetables that have the most color, such as those that are dark green, red, yellow, and orange, tend to have the most nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are typically low in calories as well, which helps people maintain healthy weights. That's a significant benefit, as the ACS Cancer Prevention Study II showed significant increases in cancer occurrence in people who are the most

overweight. The link between cancer andobesity is especially strong with specific cancers, including breast cancer after menopause and cancers of the colon, rectum, pancreas, kidneys, esophagus, and endometrium. What's more, studies have shown that obese men and women have a harder time battling cancer upon diagnosis. So while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower cancer risk, such a diet may even make it easier to battle cancer if diagnosed.

Retirement plan tips for savers (StatePoint) Whether you’re a risk taker or a more conservative saver, retirement planning should be a top priority. Taking charge of your savings, regardless of your life stage or savings style, can help to ensure you get “to” and “through” retirement and live the lifestyle you think is right for you.

If you have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, experts say that you can benefit by taking a closer look at your account to explore ways to combat risk and protect savings for the future.

“No matter what kind of saver you are, connecting with a retirement consultant or financial professional can help restore confidence in your retirement plan,” says Chuck Cornelio, President of Retirement Plan Services at Lincoln Financial Group. “These individuals will review your risk preferences, as well as what’s available within your plan to help you map out a path to retirement that is right for you.”

Consider the following five tips

that can help you manage risk and volatility within an employersponsored account, like a 401(k) or 403(b): • Know your plan: Many options within an employer-sponsored plan are designed to offer capital protection and volatility management.

Some can accommodate changing market conditions, seeking to protect growth as the market fluctuates and defend against losses.

Knowing what investment options are available to you is the first step to protecting your savings.

• Consider lifestyle options: Your risk tolerance may change over time based on how many years away you are from retirement. For example, investments known as target date funds are designed to manage risk over time without moving assets out of a retirement portfolio, so participants always stay invested. The flexibility of these funds can cover a broad range of risk tolerance.

• Explore in-plan guarantee options: Some features in today’s

retirement plans include guaranteed income options that can provide savers with a steady income stream in retirement while also offering protection against downturns in the market.

• Review your investments: Ask your employer about retirement planning education, online tools or one-on-one support to get a better handle on whether your investment strategy is in line with your overall retirement goals, as well as your risk tolerance. Take advantage of all the resources available to you.

• Stay the course: A common mistake people make is letting their emotions lead to actions.

Resist the temptation to move out of your investments into areas you think are more stable. The best way to prepare for retirement is to ride the market’s waves and remain invested for the long-term.

If you’re enrolled in your company’s retirement plan, remember to stay on track to be better prepared for the years ahead.

Cut that energy bill and stay green Homeowners continue to seek creative ways to reduce monthly expenses while being more environmentally conscious. Knowing where your money is being spent gives you a better understanding of how and where to make efficiencies.

The United States Department

of Energy says that household heating and cooling accounts for around 54 percent of the average American's utility bill.

Savings could be achieved through proper equipment maintenance and upgrades. However, the Department of Energy explains that an energy efficient furnace

alone will not have as great an impact on energy bills as using a whole-house approach.

Consider a home's wall infrastructure. If traditional insulation material has been installed, replacing it with a modern alternative can help alleviate the high monthly energy costs.

Life can be expensive: Tips on how to avoid debt (StatePoint) From going to school to going on a date to getting married, life has hidden price tags that have been sending many Americans down a path to major debt and bankruptcy.

Some of life’s most exciting events also bring with them the possibility to build major debts and harm our credit, financial experts are warning.

To help, the experts at Lexington Law, a provider of consumer credit correction services, are pointing out the financial traps in everyday life that easily ensnare the average American family.

Here are just a few financial pitfalls they are highlighting: • Getting a credit card is exciting, but the average credit card debt is $7,093.

• The average date costs $130.

• In 2012, the average engagement ring cost $9,431, and the typical wedding weighed-in at $28,400.

• Mortgage debt currently is averaging $148,818 and the typical car loan is $26,700.

• 35-44 year-olds have the highest bankruptcy rate.

Remember, the first step to better money management is being savvier about financial pitfalls to avoid.

Stop-gap solutions such as caulking and sealing cracks might not be sufficient. However, spray foam insulation, like that available from innovators Icynene, provides a complete solution sealing any gaps that would allow heating and cooling to escape.

Scholarships awarded to area students

Left to right, Lisa DeVries, Rosemary Ramsay (Wagner), Jennifer Rekart are the recipients of CSBG Scholarships.

Frank J. Schwab, Director of the Illinois Valley Economic Development Corporation, is pleased to announce that the agency has awarded three $1,000 Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) Scholarships to area students.

The recipients were Lisa DeVries, and Jennifer Rekart, both of Staunton, and Rosemary Ramsay (Wagner) of Hardin.

The scholarships were awarded on Monday, July 15, with Joe Broers, Community Services Block Grant Coordinator presenting the scholarships. DeVries is working toward becoming a Dental Assistant, Rekart is pursuing a degree in Special Education,

and Ramsay is working toward becoming and Administrative Assistant.

CSBG scholarships are awarded to low-income residents who desire to further their educations as full-time students at an Illinois accredited two-year community college, or four-year college or university.

An important feature of the CSBG Scholarship program is that it is not limited to recent high school graduates but is extended to individuals who may be returning to complete their education as adults. For the past five years a large percentage of scholarships have been awarded to individuals whose circumstances had never before

afforded them the opportunity or time to consider further education. Many of those individuals and their households had participated in other corollary services offered by the agency and whose educational interests were fostered by this relationship.

Director Schwab stated that the CSBG Scholarship Program will have funds available to award several additional scholarships to interested individuals residing in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey and Macoupin counties during the 2013 Program Year.

For more information contact the agency administrative office at (217) 839 4431.

Electronics recycling changes Electronic recycling will no longer be available at the

University of Illinois Extension in Calhoun County. In the past University of Illinois Extension & the McCully Heritage Project had partnered with WITS, Inc. to allow WITS, Inc. to collect recycled electronics from the community members at the Extension office once a month. The program resumed in February and WITS, Inc. was scheduled to come to Hardin once a month to collect.

Recently University of Illinois Extension was contacted by WITS, Inc. and was informed that the recycling agency had decided to cut out several scheduled stops, one of which was the Hardin location effective immediately.

Since then, University of Illinois Extension has looked for other viable options for the community members and organizations to dispose of their old electronics. The Extension staff was able to identify one local company that is willing to take electronics for recycling which is M A W Salvage, located at 11589 State Highway 16. Most locals probably know it as “the place that has the car on the pole”; previously, it was Bob’s Auto Parts. M A W Salvage will take electronics for recycling during their normal business hours of 8:00am-5:00pm Monday through Friday and 8:00am-1:00pm on Saturday and can be contacted at 618-576-9777. Please note that as of January 1, 2012, the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act makes it illegal for consumers to dispose of electronics in their trash and illegal for Illinois landfills to accept them.

WHAT’S HAPPENING should come to the meeting or contact Rally Around Carrollton on facebook.

Many activities and entertainment are being planned. Food, sales and craft vendors wanted. Call Bernie Faul 217-9423154 ROODHOUSE June - August: Every Saturday 8:30-11 a.m. North Greene Garden Club Farmers Market.
