Not part of the game: local educator, mom rescues toddler By ANGIE CORY Greene Prairie Press Arriving on Saturday in Panama City, Fla., for the United States Fastpitch Association (USFA) World Series, Jerseyville resident Angie Brown and her family planned to get in some vacation time between games. Daughter, Lauren Brown, plays centerfield and left field for her team, Bluff City Elite. Brown, the wife of former Jersey School Board member Greg Brown, is an educator in Greenfield School District. Between games, the Brown family, along with many team families, headed to Shell Island for much needed down time at the beach. Shell Island is a seven-mile stretch of undeveloped ground with an inland lake. The peninsula is home for deer, shorebirds, ghost crabs and certain endangered species such as loggerhead and green sea turtles. Part of St. Andrews State Park, Shell Island is accessed only by boat. At peak summer, shuttles run every 30 minutes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. As no concessions are available, families haul in snacks, beverages, towels, umbrellas, chairs and any other beach commodity neces-

sary. With no trash receptacles, what comes in must go back out on the shuttle. Brown and her group had gathered for the return shuttle around 3:30 p.m. Anticipating a crowd heavily laden with floaties, rings, food baskets, life jackets and other water sport items, Brown kept a close eye on her group and countless others milling around the beach. Several of the girls and their families ventured out in the water again, awaiting the shuttle. Aware of the location of her group, Brown’s eyes strayed to a toddler wading at the shoreline. Seeing the child, she speculated he was quite small to be in the water without supervision. Again, she spied her group, ensured their safety, then casually searched for the little boy again. Wearing no life jacket, she saw he had wandered further in the water. Her concern growing for the child’s well-being, she took one last look at her group and swept her gaze back toward the child. Face down in the water, she saw he was out too far for his feet to touch bottom. Brown shucked her shoes and bolted for the water to snatch the little fellow,

shouting, “Whose child is this?� From previous life guard training, Brown was aware a child can submerge in less than 15 seconds. She anticipated the time it took to get to the child was over 15 seconds. She knew Shell Island was over 15 minutes to civilization, not allowing for the return of the shuttle. Her mind kept repeating, “Please be breathing.� She was prepared to perform CPR if necessary. As soon as the boy’s father realized Brown was holding his son, he immediately grabbed him from Brown’s arms. The boy’s grandmother tried to elicit a response from the little guy. His grandmother continued asking if he was OK. The toddler finally responded. The child’s father then thanked Brown for saving his son, grateful to her for paying attention. He did not realize the little boy had gone back to the water so quickly. Angie was mindful then that a day at the beach can forever change a life. The rescue of the little boy will be forever etched in her memory, not soon to be forgotten. It was definitely not part of the game, or part of their summer vacation plans.

Carrollton treasurer Carrollton Council answers to disparity discusses raises in aldermen pay for city officials

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council convened a special meeting on Tuesday morning, Aug. 2 to discuss why there is a disparity in the pay received by the aldermen. Each alderman gets $75 base pay per month after they are elected, and an additional $25 for each meeting they attend. There are usually two meetings a month – the workshop and the regular council meeting. Alderman Gene Baker, along with Sharon Butler and Dewaine Freand, called for the special meeting and broached the subject at the July 27 workshop meeting. Baker said he noticed he was only paid for one meeting plus the base pay. Up until now, no one on the council had really paid attention to how much their checks are since they are direct deposited into their accounts, but after Baker brought it up, they did some checking. Alderwoman Susie Baker, who took office last March, said her checks have all been for $92, which means she was paid the base pay and for one meeting. Baker said he went through his bank statements and it looks like he has only been shorted two meetings. “But what really brought this to my

attention is that none of the checks are for the same amount,� Baker. Treasurer Debbie Dunlap, who is responsible for payroll within the city, was in attendance and explained why the checks could be different amounts. “The reason why some checks might have ‘x’ number of meetings and other checks would have a different amount is due to the cutoff for payroll,� Dunlap said. “For example, the last pay period in March ended on May 18 but the workshop meeting was after that so that would then carry over to the next month. It depends on the cutoff date of the payroll and the day of the meetings.� Each alderman who attends a meeting or workshop signs their name to an attendance sheet. The city clerk gets this sheet and gives it to the treasurer so they can receive their pay. Alderwoman Sharon Butler asked why she was only paid for one meeting last month and Dunlap told her it was because she wasn’t getting the attendance sheets. “I only had one attendance sheet from you that month,� Dunlap said. “I pay you for the documents I receive in my office.� City Clerk Ryan Scott took issue with this. (See, TREASURER, A2)

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Carrollton City Council members discussed raising the remuneration tendered to elected officials, including the mayor, clerk and city council members, at the July 21 workshop meeting. Per the city’s ordinance, any raises for these elected positions must be made at least 180 days before the start of the next term of office. The issue was raised by City Clerk Ryan Scott who said one person was interested in running for mayor and two people are interested in the alderman positions. “Their whole thing was they would like to run and serve on the council but they also know how much time it is going to entail,� Scott said. “I called around and received some comparisons and found out White Hall is also going to raise the salaries of its elected officials before the next election.� Currently, the mayor receives $400 a month; city clerk, $250 a month and aldermen $75 per month plus $25 for each of the two meetings a month (workshop and council) for a total of $125.

Compared to other communities, Carrollton is actually slightly above the average. In Roodhouse, the mayor is paid $250 per month, city clerk, $250 per month, aldermen, $50 per month and the treasurer salary is contractual. White Hall pays its mayor and treasurer each $300 per month while the clerk and aldermen each receive $150 per month. Greenfield City Clerk Sherry White said the council will be voting at the August meeting to raise the salaries of its elected officials. Currently, the mayor receives $4,600 per year, clerk, $4,200 and treasurer, $4,000. Aldermen make $100 per month for a total of $1,200 per year. Winchester pays its mayor $1,000 per month while aldermen get $225 per month. The treasurer makes $500 a month while the clerk brings in $350. In Pittsfield and Beardstown, the mayors receive $1,677.50 and $1,400 a month, respectively, while the aldermen get $300 and $320 a month, respectively. According to Carrollton City Code, the salaries of the elected officials were last set on May 1, 1997, (See, COUNCIL, A3)

Rep. Davidsmeyer presented ‘Friend of Agriculture’ award By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Representative C.D. Davidsmeyer has always been a big supporter of legislation which helps the agricultural community, and for this he has been awarded the 2016 Friend of Agriculture Award. This award honors state and federal legislators who understand the importance of Illinois agriculture,� Greene County Farm Bureau President Steve Albrecht said. “Legislators receiving this award recognize the benefits of Illinois’ agricultural products and the importance farmers play in providing quality food, fiber, and fuel for our state, nation and world.� Davidsmeyer was presented with a replica of a John Deere 8345R tractor at the Greene County Farm Bureau Pork Promotion held Monday on the courthouse lawn in Carrollton. “Rep. Davidsmeyer received this award based on his voting record on several bills and issues that have come through the assembly,�

Albrecht said. “Once the committee approves the legislator for the award, generally the first function going in within the counties is typically who gets to present the award to the legislator and we are honored to be presenting this award to Rep. Davidsmeyer.� In receiving the award, Rep. Davidsmeyer said when you support agriculture, you are supporting a huge portion of the state economy. “A lot of times, Chicago thinks they have the entire economy, but in reality, the largest single portion of the state’s economy is agriculture,� Rep. Davidsmeyer said. “You would pretty much have to be insane not to support agriculture in the state.� The miniature John Deere replica tractor is mounted on a base plate made of white oak with a cherry finish. The white oak was designated the state tree of Illinois in 1973. The base plate was hand crafted by Dave Martin of Lincoln Woodworks in Mackinaw.

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

God doesn’t always give us what we ask for I had heard of others catching two fish on the same bait before, but I had never done it or even witnessed it. All that changed the other day. It was a beautiful, comfortable, and even cool August morning on the river. It had been several weeks since I had taken this same trip. I was excited about throwing my little top water torpedo at some smallmouth. My excitement was justified by the number of fish we caught during the first three hours of daylight. Nothing big, but lots of action. I made one cast into a small pocket when it happened. The water boiled. I waited until I felt it pull, and I set the hook on not one but two smallmouth. After several minutes of fighting the fish and the current, I landed both. One was 15 inches long and the other 13. I’m glad there was a witness

there to verify my fish tale. While sometimes I may not get what I ask for, on this day I received more that I asked for. When my son was around 11 years old he was riding with me in my truck. He began to run his fingers through the coins in my ashtray. I watched him and wondered what was going through his mind. I determined that eventually he was going to ask me if he could have the change. I prepared myself for a special father and son moment. He would ask for the money and I would say, “Of course you can have that money. You’re my son and I’m so proud of you and you can take it all and put it in your own jar.” It was going to be a wonderful moment. And after a few more minutes he opened his mouth and said, “Dad, can I drive?” Did I hear him right? Did he ask if he could drive?

What happened to the two dollars’ worth of coins and our special moment? I barked back at him, “No you can’t drive!” He settled back down and never asked for the money. God taught me several things about Himself through this small episode. First of all, sometimes our prayers are not answered because the timing is not right. One day my son would be able to drive my truck but at 11 years old, the timing was wrong. Secondly, sometimes our prayers are not answered because we don’t ask for what God wants to give us. If my son would have asked for the money in my ashtray, I would have gladly given it to him. Thirdly, sometimes our prayers are not answered because God wants to give us more than what we ask for. My ashtray was full. There was not a lot of money

in it, but it was all I had. And if I was willing to give my son all I had, w h a t is God willing to give me above just what I ask for? Two smallmouth on one plug! That was more than I could have ever asked for. But I’m glad that sometimes God does just that. Q Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn.

Letter to the editor Comparing First and Second Amendments TO THE EDITOR: On Sunday, July 31, I read articles in both the Jacksonville and Springfield papers where laws protecting the United States Flag were “unconstitutional.” United States Code< TITLE 18, Chapter 33, Section 700 — Desecration of the Flag of the United States, penalties. “(a)(1) Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than a year, or both.” The articles stated “The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in separate cases in 1989 and 1990 that flag burning and other forms of damage are constitutionally protected free speech under the First Amendment.” “The First Amendment” as written, “Congress shall make no law

respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peacefully to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” There is no mention of flag burning, no mention of computers, Twitter, Facebook, or the Internet, no mention of radio, no mention of television, or satellites. The “Libtards” pushing for an all-encompassing definition of the First Amendment to include everything that promotes their values or agenda is thrown in the faces of normal Americans. “The Second Amendment” states, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The same “Libtards” pushing for a broad interpretation of the First

Amendment always want to redefine the meaning of the Second Amendment. Nowhere in the Second Amendment does it say for hunting, as many want you to believe. Nowhere does it say for muskets only, and does not include modern semi-automatic weapons. The Second Amendment includes all modern weapons, as technology advances, needed for personal protection from all entities foreign and domestic “shall not be infringed.” Back to flag burning, if you feel strongly about your convictions and the statement you are trying to make, and if you really want to get everyone’s attention to promote your cause, protest properly. Douse the flag in gasoline, wrap the flag around your shoulders, and light with a match.

Council (Continued from A1) making it 19 years since they have been increased. Alderwoman Sharon Butler asked how other communities are able to pay their people so much more. “That’s easy – they don’t pay their treasurer $54,000 a year like we do,� Scott said. “The average salary for full time treasurers is around the $40,000 mark. They just spread their money out more instead of giving it to just one person.� In Carrollton, the treasurer is an appointed position, much like White Hall’s city administrator, which earns just under $32,000 per year. Several Carrollton aldermen thought the monthly salary for aldermen was fine right where it’s at. “I look at it this way – I’m not here to make money on this,� Alderman Gene Baker said. “I’m here for the city and the people.� Alderman Tom Wilson agreed. “I have always taken it that what we receive is to cover our miscellaneous expenses,� he said. “I never took it to be a salary type position.� Alderwoman Butler asked if a raise in the salary might entice better people to run for the offices, but Baker said he doubted it. “I don’t think it will make any difference,� Baker said. “We’re not here to make a living off this. It has to be somebody that is really community minded and wants to take care of the people in his ward and the city. But, it is an important job and I think we need to discuss it more.� The issue will be put on the agenda for discussion at the Aug. 11 regular meeting. Baker truly isn’t in it for the money

because he wasn’t sure just how much he was supposed to be getting. “Do we get paid for the regular workshop meeting and the regular council meeting?� he asked. “I’m asking because I get a $75 check and a $25 check and that is all. I approached Debbie (Dunlap) with this and she tried to lay it off on someone else and said she wasn’t getting the sheets we turn in.� Aldermen sign an attendance sheet which is then given to the city clerk. The city clerk then gives them to the treasurer for payment. “I deliver them the same night as the meeting,� Scott said. “And if I don’t – she is usually sitting right there in the crowd.� Alderwoman Sharon Butler said she has also been shorted the $25 for the workshop meeting since the city began having two meetings a month in June of 2013. Aldermen called for a special meeting which was to be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning at city hall to address this issue. (See related story) Mayor Pro-Tem Joe Harness informed the council that the fast-track demolition of a property on Locust St. is entering the home stretch. “We are just awaiting the 30-day notice to come up on July 28,� Harness said. “After that, we can go in there and start hauling it off.� According to Police Chief Terry Gross, the city has 120 days to be on the property to abate it. After this 120day time period, the city no longer has the right to be on the property and must vacate. The city will file a lien against the property to recoup its costs, including attorney fees. The owner of the

property has the option to pay or, if he chooses not to, the city would get its money when the property is sold. Alderman Dewain Freand updated the council on the status of a search for a cheaper alternative for health insurance. Freand and Treasurer Debbie Dunlap met with an individual who provided an option for self-funding the insurance with a $5,000 deductible. “He said he could save us some money,� Freand said. “If we are even interested in considering it, he said he would be glad to come up and meet with the whole council. It sounds like a pretty good deal.� White Hall is currently in a similar program whereby the city picks up a portion of a doctor’s visit. The higher deductible provides a much lower premium and in the long run, continues to save the city money. Freand said the city is continuing to look into options for health insurance. For two months, the city has discussed the widening of Teresa Lane at the intersection of Highway 67. Buck’s Crossing intends to put diesel pumps on the lot next to the current store and per the state, the entrance onto Teresa Lane would need to be widened by 10 feet. “The reason it needs to be widened is because they are going to be having trailer trucks coming in and out of there,� Harness said. “I think if they (Bucks Crossing) are going to be pouring concrete, I don’t see any problem in them doing it. I don’t think we need to be involved.� According to Public Works Director Mike Snyder, the cost of widening Teresa Lane would be in the $5,500 range.

Treasurer (Continued from A1) “So you are saying you never get a sheet from me on their workshop?â€? he asked. “That is correct,â€? Dunlap said. Scott said that 80 percent of the time he puts them in the mailbox on Dunlap’s door the same night of the meeting. “There have been a couple times that I came in late and handed them to you after payroll,â€? Scott said. “I admit that.â€? Scott commented that regardless if she received the sheets he gave her or not, she should know who attended the meeting because she is there herself and she is taking it upon herself not to pay the aldermen. Dunlap said she wasn’t going to cut a check for anyone unless there is documentation to back it up, such as an attendance sheet. “As the treasurer and the person who cuts the checks for the city, I need documentation,â€? Dunlap said. “Every supervisor has to submit sheets for all of their employees and I pay them based on those sheets. So if I don’t have a sheet that says you are here‌â€? Scott asked why, if she wasn’t receiving the sheets, she didn’t tell him about it sooner. Dunlap maintained that she had contacted him several times through emails, which she produced and handed to the

council. “I do turn those sheets in, but if for some reason you didn’t get them – why didn’t you just come to me and tell me?� Scott said. “You are getting paid $54,000 a year to do payroll.� To which Dunlap replied she didn’t know “why he didn’t just turn in the sheets.� Dunlap does, however, receive some of the sheets because while Baker has received payment for all but two meetings, Alderwoman Keller has never received payment for the workshop meetings. Mayor Pro-Tem Joe Harness asked Dunlap if she could answer Keller’s question as to why she hadn’t been paid for the workshop meetings. “I would have to go back and look, but I would disagree with that,� Dunlap said. Alderwoman Butler told Dunlap to get her a printout of everything she has made since she has been on the council. “I want to know exactly how much I have gotten because I should have been getting $125 since August of 2013,� Butler said. “I want to know if I’ve been paid for these meetings or not because I know I have only missed two meetings in this time period.� To this, Dunlap replied, “So, basically, none of you know if you have been shorted anything or not,� she

said. “I will tell you that there are probably some missing meetings – maybe 2-4 per person.� Harness made a motion that each attendance sheet would be copied with one given to Dunlap and the other kept in a file. Baker, who took office in May 2015, also wanted to know why his first check for that inaugural month was only $37.50 instead of the normal $75. Dunlap explained that rather than call a special meeting, for which the aldermen would have to get paid, the council decided to do the swearing in of the new members at the next regular council meeting. Therefore, the other half of Baker’s pay went to the former alderman Wayne Cunningham. “The cutoff for Mr. Cunningham’s term was April 30 and mine began on May 1, whether I was sworn in or not,� Baker said. Harness didn’t agree. “No, your term doesn’t start until you are sworn in,� he said. The city ordinance is rather vague in this area as it reads: “The inauguration of newly elected City officials shall occur at the first regular or special meeting of the City Council in the month of May following the general municipal election in April.� (See 65 ILCS Sec. 5/3.1-10-15).

North Greene School Board hires new elementary principal

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press North Greene School Board convened a special meeting July 28 for the purpose of interviewing candidates for the position of elementary principal following the resignation of Mark Darr at last month’s meeting. North Greene Superintendent Lawrence Coultas said Darr tendered his resignation in order to accept the position with the Regional Office of Education as the principal at the Alternative Center for Education in

White Hall. Coultas said there was quite a bit of interest in the position. “We must have had 14-15 applications for this position,� Coultas said. “The board narrowed the search to seven candidates they wanted to interview, which is why this special meeting was called.� The council discussed the interviews and qualifications of each candidate after the interviews, and then approved offering the principal position to Jacyln Kuchy from Winchester. “When you interview someone you

really can’t tell everything about the person from the interview, but this young lady – the board was really impressed with her,� Coultas said. “They feel she is going to be a good fit for the district.� Kuchy began her duties as principal on Aug. 2. “We wanted to get someone in here as quick as we can with school starting very soon,� Coultas said. “We have a teachers institute on Aug. 16 and the students come back Aug. 17 so we needed to get someone in here and get them going.�

Graham named to Agricultural Law Council By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press A young up-and-coming attorney in Carrollton has just been named to serve on a prestigious counsel dealing with Illinois agriculture. Nick W. Graham has been appointed to the Illinois State Bar Association’s Agricultural Law Council, a select committee of the state’s leading agricultural lawyers. The ISBA serves more than 32,000 attorneys throughout Illinois. Graham accepted the appointment at the ISBA’s annual meeting in Chicago and said

it was indeed an honor to be named to such a select group of lawyers. “I am honored to be recognized by the ISBA as a leader in the area of agricultural law,� he said. “I am excited to have this opportunity to be at the forefront of legal issues facing today’s farmers and landowners.� As part of the Agricultural Law Council, Graham will engage in many important activities on behalf of the legal profession including proposed legislation, educating the public and serving the courts on issues related to the agricultural industry. Members also have the opportunity to publish articles and speak on

developments in the legal field as it relates to farming and agribusiness. It is important for agricultural lawyers to stay up-to-date on legal development, especially estate and tax planning. This is an area of the law that has seen many changes take place over the years. “Planning for the next generation is especially important – now more than ever,� Graham said. “With many farms throughout the state transitioning to the next generation of new ownership, it’s critical that attorneys are able to identify and implement the latest tax and estate planning strategies. These will continue to be important topics for attorneys

and their clients over the coming years.� As a member of the Agricultural Law Council, Graham will be involved in researching, reviewing and lobbying for legislation favorable to agribusiness and farming. “Our council is comprised of very intelligent and influential attorneys,� Graham said. “I am excited to join in the efforts to insure Illinois legislation remains favorable to agriculture.� The council is comprised of leading agricultural lawyers throughout the state, including chief legal counsel for the Department of Agriculture and Illinois Farm Bureau.

Roodhouse Sesquicentennial Youth Day this Friday There was a Youth Day at the Centennial Celebration held in 1966, but this celebration will no doubt pale in comparison to the Sesquicentennial Youth Day. “Our goal is simple – we want you to come out, have fun with your family and enjoy free entertainment outdoors,� Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle Robison said. “Kids and adults are more than welcome to play in all activities.� Chief Robison said it was a natural that his department stepped up to sponsor Youth Day. “When we saw the city needed help with volunteers for the Youth Day, we knew that this would be right up our alley,� Chief Robison said. “Our PD holds several youth oriented events each year and this is something we thought would be family oriented and just a lot of fun for both the kids and adults.� There will be lots

If it sounds a little redneck – that’s because it is, but it is going to be a blast trying to catch that muddy pig.� Of course there are costs associated with putting on such a large event, but thanks to the many volunteers who stepped up to help and the many donations from the community and fundraisers, the event remains totally free to everyone who attends.

“The rock climbing wall was our biggest expenditure, however the Gwartney Family stepped up in a big way and provided this to Youth Day for free,� Chief Robison said. “We also held a raffle and 5K Super Hero run earlier this year. There was just so many individuals and businesses who contributed so we could make everything free.� Roodhouse’s Safety Pup will be on hand to visit with the kids along with Carrollton’s Daren, the DARE Lion. Both will be arriving in their Hummers. There will also be beach volleyball courts set up and Chief Robison is hoping for a rematch with the Fire Department. “I really hope the fire department would like to play against the police department because we would like to have an opportunity to regain some pride after the basketball loss we suffered,� Chief Robison said.

In fact, they have their own day and what better sponsor than the Roodhouse Police Department, which has several kid-oriented events each year. This Friday, Aug. 5, the Roodhouse Rez, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., will become a virtual amusement park with all kinds of different activities for the kids ranging from a 25-foot rock climbing wall to 3D archery shooting to a petting zoo. Best of all – it’s all absolutely free. Plus, every kid in Greene County is invited to come out and partake in the fun and food, which is also free. There might even be something there for parents to do while watching their kids have fun.

Lincoln replica hearse to be featured at Roodhouse celebration

Submitted photo

A recreation of the hearse used for Abraham Lincoln’s funeral in Springfield in 1865 will be on display during the Roodhouse Sesquicentennial.

A replica of the hearse used for Abraham Lincoln’s funeral in 1865 in Springfield will be on display during the Roodhouse Sesquicentennial celebration this weekend. The Staab family of Springfield gathered together historian exert craftsmen and a combat veterans build team to reverse engineer and recreate this historic vehicle which became the centerpiece of the 150th anniversary commemorating Abraham Lincoln’s life and legacy. The “Icon of Freedom” has been reclaimed by the Veterans Build Team from across the country including the Blue Ox Millworks Veterans Program in Eureka, Calif. The purpose and objective of the hearse

build story is to create a way to remember, educate and heal by creating an emotionally charged and educational experience connecting people to American history. This experience is enhanced by a 360 degree view of the hearse to fully appreciate such a carriage. This “Icon of Freedom” possesses the ability to tell its own story. This story is a natural progression not only to learn more about the largest funeral in American history but the Life and Legacy of Abraham Lincoln, as well. Tim Airsman of Airsman-Hires Funeral Homes is responsible for sponsoring the display. Airsman began his career in funeral service in Greene County.

Journal provides glimpse into Roodhouse past

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Much has been written about John Roodhouse, the founder of Roodhouse, but very little has ever been mentioned about his mother, Jane Roodhouse, who raised nine children alone on the then desolate prairie that is called Greene County. Dick Roodhouse, the greatgreat-grandson of Benjamin and Jane Roodhouse, had the unique opportunity to view life back then through the pages of Jane’s journal. “A typed copy of this journal was found by Louise PriceTillery in the attic of her aunt, Nellie Strang, after Nellie’s death,” Roodhouse said. This narrative begins with Jane and her family’s arrival in America in 1830 and ends with her memories of being a young girl in England and her first marriage to William Wood.” Jane Belle Moses-WoodRoodhouse was born in England in 1791 and wed Abraham William Wood on March 3, 1809. She bore three sons and a daughter between the years 1810-1818. Wood was a seaman by trade and was lost at sea in 1817, before the birth of his last son, who would bear his name. John Roodhouse was a squire in England, his new wife having died in childbirth only two years after their marriage. He sought the company of Jane

and her four children and they were wed in 1822. Jane gave John Roodhouse five more children, including a set of twins, Benjamin and John, the latter of which would found the town of Roodhouse. Jane gave birth to four sons and one daughter between the years of 1823-30, bringing the household to 11 people. Jane describes her life in England as quite comfortable yet the family chose to seek out far away lands in America. “I did possess in Yorkshire considerable properties and a fine home but the lads, on hearing of the vast lands and fortunes to be had in the New World and being venturesome like unto their father, did beset me to write to mine cousins,” Jane Roodhouse writes. “Much information did this letter contain concerning the ways of the journey and the richness of the distant lands and from that day plans were made which brought us halfway round the world to this far distant trading post named Saint Louis.” The year was 1830 and Jane had probably given birth to her last son, James, not long before the family departed for America. In addition to the five children under the age of 7, she also brought her four older children. Arriving in New York in 1830, the Roodhouse clan made their way to St. Louis and then began trekking to a location

near Jane’s relatives, which was up near Lynnwood. Travel by wagon was slow, especially with 11 kids piled into it. About half way between Alton and Lynnwood, the family decided to stop at a cabin along the way to seek shelter for the night. This cabin was located just south of White Hall and the owner offered his land for sale, including a cabin. While the women and children stayed at the cabin, Ben and the lads went on up to the proposed area they were going to settle, an area they called Mauvaisterre. Three days later they returned and purchased the land and cabin in which they had been staying in Greene County. “Benjamin did look about a bit and did laugh and say the very name Mauvaisterre did mean barren ground and such did not please him when he could, for a sum of monies hold that rich black soil that he did so much desire and there were shelters too and no cabin needs must be built.” In September, the large family moved into a two room cabin with a loft above for sleeping. Jane and her family went from the comfort of a large house to a tiny cabin tasked with meeting the daily needs all on their own from chopping firewood for heat to caring for the livestock. On their initial trip to their new homestead, the Roodhouse family was forced to leave

many chests full of household items in storage at a tavern in Erie. Benjamin and eldest son, William, departed in June 1830 to fetch these items. Upon their return, Benjamin, who was 58 years old, came down with a fever and grew steadily worse. Two doctors were called in but Benjamin died in August 1831, leaving his wife a widow with nine children in a completely new and unfamiliar land. “Much respect did I have for mine husband although he was some years older than mine self and I did have love for him also though it was not the love of mine youth,” Jane Roodhouse said. “Greatly will I miss his strength and wisdom and his tenderness in times of stress.” The three older sons took charge of the farm and it prospered. So much so that in 1840, Jane decided it was time to build the house they had dreamed of building when they came to this land. She had brought the plans for her old home in Cawood for the journey and sought an architect to construct the home. This was long before mechanization. The boys felled the large walnut trees that were abundant on their property and made them into boards for the flooring and woodwork in the home. The bricks for the exterior of the home were fired in a kiln right on the property. The home, which would

be called Cawood Manor, was dedicated in June 1844. It was a far cry bigger than the two room cabin the family had lived in for over a decade. “Broad is our house and it does face the rising sun. Two vast chimneys are built at the ends of the house so we can have a fireplace in each room for long have we shivered in the chill of the cabin and then there is oft sickness and one does need the heat in the bed chambers. Quite large are the rooms with fine even floors and smooth walls and there are windows sashed with crystal glass where the light of the day may enter. We have walnut woodwork which was made from the trees selected with great care from our timberlands by the architect.” The home was built to last a lifetime and it has. It was one of many homes on display during the Roodhouse Sesquicentennial Home Tour on July 31. Walls in the home are no less than 18 inches thick. Later on, a stone cheese house was constructed over a street near the house so the family could keep their cheese cool in the running stream. Growing up on the prairie, left fatherless at an early age, John Roodhouse and the rest of the children, experienced hardships and encountered many trials in those early years that no doubt shaped them into the people they would become. For John Roodhouse, he was

described as having “developed more than ordinary energy and business capacity. He experienced the rough road to prosperity which he reached later. His youthful days were spent among pioneer associates.” John Roodhouse married Sarah Eveline Baker in 1850 and to them were born 12 children, six of which died at a young age. Jane Roodhouse didn’t live to see her son lay out the town that would be named after him. She died in 1860 at the age of 69, a full six years before John Roodhouse would walk off what is now the Roodhouse Square in what was then said to be his pig lot. John Roodhouse greatly influenced the railroad to make Roodhouse the crossroads and made sure the area was populated by selling his land in lots and very low prices. He was the prime mover in organizing the Farmers and Drovers Bank of which he was a director. This bank was later sold to Roodhouse Bank. In 1882, he became postmaster and remained in this position for a number of years. Eventually, he would come to lay out Fernwood Cemetery where both he and his wife were laid to rest. John Roodhouse died on June 12, 1908 and leaves a legacy that is still celebrated 150 years later.

Crops Seminar on SDS, foliar diseases and sulfur on August 12

University of Illinois Extension will host a seminar discussing Sudden Death Syndrome, foliar diseases, and crop sulfur needs on Aug. 12. The seminar will be held at the Morgan County Extension office, 104 North Westgate in Jacksonville, and will run from 9 to noon. Presenters will be Dr. Angie Peltier, Commercial Crops Educator with U of I Extension; Dr. Matt Montgomery, agronomist with Burrus Seeds and Duane Friend, Extension Educator. Sudden death syndrome (SDS) was responsible for an estimated 61.8-million-bushel yield loss in the U.S. in 2014, second only to the soybean cyst nematode among pathogen-related causes of yield loss. While infection takes place very early in the growing season, symptoms don’t typically appear until reproductive growth stages. Angie will discuss research that can help farmers to develop their own integrated management strategy for SDS and foliar plant diseases. Sulfur, like almost all nutrients, cycles through soil. Understanding the sulfur cycle is important in understanding crop sulfur needs. Matt will provide information on the sulfur cycle and its effect on crop growth.

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news

July 31. Esther Coates played piano for nursing home residents to sing three songs. Thanks Esther. Greetings and announcements by Bro. Brad. Wednesday, Aug. 17 monthly business meeting at 6 p.m. Sunday School report by Sis Mary. Brad led congregation in singing hymns. Penny March as children went downstairs for church with Sis Debbie as leader. Message by Bro. Carl Beck. Matthew 6:5-15 The Lord’s Prayer and John 17:1-26. “The heart and work of prayer.” The church needs lots of prayers from all members in order to grow. Jesus was a great example of how to pray. Prayer is us talking to God. Three aspects for coming to pray. 1. Come humbly

before a Holy God. 2. How we come before God’s throne with a sincere heart, guiltless and right with others and 3. What we ask for and the faith believing it will happen in God’s will and not our will. If it is God’s will our needs will be met, not our wants. Everything happens in God’s timing, not ours. When Jesus prays he doesn’t repeat himself. If he doesn’t answer our prayer it is because he knows what is best for us. James 4: 2-3. “Ye have it because ye ask not, ye ask, and receive not because ye ask amiss.” Sunday evening we sang hymns and Bro. Carl brought the message concerning the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:5-15. A.C.T.S.

Adoration – verses 9-11. Confession – verses 12-13 Thanksgiving – thank God for what he’s done for us. Supplication – Ask God to be a part of everything in our life. Disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Luke 11:1-4. It is similar to the Lord’s Prayer. Philippians 4:6-7. Let your requests be made known to God through prayers. Without God we have nothing. God’s way is the best way. Please pray for our church and its members, the lost, those in nursing homes and hospitals, the sick, the bereaved, those recovering from surgery and those with upcoming surgeries, traveling mercies, our country, our troops and one another.

Hillview Baptist Church news Bro. Jason Holliman, Pastor Alice Ford, reporter Birthday: Cookie Smith Announcement: Don’t forget the needed school supplies. Message: Exodus 2:11 Moses was spared. His own mother got to raise him in Pharaoh’s house. When Moses is grown he realizes he

is privileged. He killed a man and thought no knew, but they did. You can’t do anything in secret. God always sees what you do. We have generations now that do not know Jesus. At His name every knee shall bow and confess. The only way you can get to God, the father, is through Jesus. For this nation to be great we need to serve God. We

don’t serve for our glory, but for God’s. God has a purpose for us. He gave us free will. We can make our own decisions. Do not let the world make us afraid to tell others about God. We all have a talent that we can use for God. God can help us through anything. If He’s calling you, answer Him.

—2 Corinthians 11:26 NIV

H

umans are made for adventure. We all love a good adventure story, and if you are a student of history, you know that human beings have been seeking adventure from the dawn of history, and probably before, if the prehistoric cave paintings are any indication. What prompts one person to set off on foot over the range of mountains and another to fashion a boat or raft and set off across the ocean must be some sort of innate wanderlust. Whatever it is, we all have a hankering for adventure. This can be satisfied in big or small ways. Sometimes we set off on a path through the woods in our own backyard or decide to take our bicycle somewhere we’ve never been. Other times we opt for the adventure vacation, perhaps hiking in a remote wilderness or exploring an unfamiliar city. Of course the notion of adventure is relative. What one person considers wildly adventurous another may consider child’s play. In any case, we should all indulge our spirit of adventure—safely, of course. It’s not for nothing that the Bible is filled with great stories of adventure, from Noah’s ark to Paul’s shipwreck in the Mediterranean. God favors the bold. – Christopher Simon

Carrollton, Illinois

Logan Ag to expand east of the Illinois By JUSTIN A. COBB Greene Prairie Press Logan Agri-Service, based in Griggsville, is expanding its capabilities to serve customers east of the Illinois River, the company announced in a press release Monday. The primary expansion will be the addition of a satellite anhydrous ammonia facility, including a 30,000-gallon storage tank, in Scott County near the junction of state Routes 100 and 106, according to the press release. The facility will allow Logan Ag to better serve existing customers in the area and facilitate expansion into markets in Morgan and Greene County, company president Ed Logan said by phone Monday afternoon. “We’ve had some existing business there for several years, and the volume of that business is growing,� Logan said. “Our intention is to expand eastward into Scott,

Morgan, and Greene counties, as well as moving north toward the Bluffs area.� Placement of a facility on the eastern side of the Illinois River is key in over-

In addition to the storage tank, according to Logan, the Scott County facility will feature 16 new ammonia nurse wagons, with at least half of them twin 1,450-gallon units Logan said are safer and more efficient than towing multiple tanks in tandem. “They’re on the same running gear, two tanks side by side,� Logan said. “You’ve seen people pull on two wagons in tandem. Well, these tanks are placed on a single running gear, which is safer and accomplishes your goal in less time.� The Scott County facility should be up and running by November, in time for fall nitrogen application, according to Logan, who said the facility should create at least three new jobs, including sales and support personnel. “I want to thank our existing customers for their business and their loyalty to us,� Logan said. “I look forward to meeting and developing working relationships with many more customers.�

Pack-to-School this Saturday at courthouse

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Lifepoint Church in Carrollton will be sponsoring the sixth annual Pack-to-School event on the Greene County Courthouse lawn this Saturday, Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. until noon. Carrollton and St. John’s students in kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to come and receive a backpack full of school supplies, eat, play carnival games and more. Pastor Scott Wade said this year’s event is going to be bigger than ever. “We have added a lot of stuff this year that we haven’t had in the past,� Wade said. “We have three or four ladies who are going to be doing free haircuts for the kids and

we worked it out with Dr. Uhles and Illini Medical to provide physicals to the first 30 to register.� Wade said the entire event is going to be in a backyard type carnival setting. In fact, the event originally started in the back yard of the church but rapidly outgrew the limited space. “Our vision for what we wanted to do kind of outgrew the amount of space we had available,� Wade said. “This will make our third year having it on the courthouse square.� When the program started, a ministry within the Assembly of God Church called Rural Compassion provided the backpacks and supplies, but as the event kept growing, the church and its members began contributing.

Judge Day took the oath of office at a ceremony on July 11 at the Richard Bolling Federal Building in Kansas City, Mo. On July 19, Day began hearing Medicare claims appeals filed by providers of medical services, suppliers of medical equipment, and individual Medicare

beneficiaries. Day is one of approximately 80 federal administrative law judges nationwide tasked with issuing decisions related to appeals of Medicare coverage determinations, and is supported in this indeavor by a team of two attorneys and two legal assistants. U.S. administrative law judges are selected through a process involving a series of exams, panel interviews and other merit-based evaluations, whereas other types of

federal judges are generally appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Prior to his appointment, Day had served in various legal, management and hearing officer capacities throughout his career at the Illinois Department of Revenue, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Nevada Transportation Authority. Day is the son of Judge James W. Day and Dotty Day of Carrollton.

The Department of Public Health will provide all female students entering sixth grade and their parents/guardians information about the link between human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical cancer and the availability of the HPV vaccine. Unless an exemption or extension applies, the failure to

comply with the above requirements by Oct. 15 of the current school year will result in the student’s exclusion from school until the required health forms are presented to the District. New students who register after Oct. 15 of the current school year shall have 30 days following registration to comply with the health examination and immunization regulations. If a medical reason prevents a student from receiving required immunization by Oct. 15, the student must present, by Oct. 15, an immunization schedule and a statement of the medical reasons causing the delay. The schedule and statement of medical reasons must be signed by the physician, advanced practice nurse, physician assistant, or local health department responsible for administering the immunizations. A student transferring from out-of-state who does not have the required proof of immunizations by Oct. 15, may attend classes only if he or she has proof that an appointment for the required vaccinations is scheduled with a party authorized to submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the required proof of vaccination is not submitted within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend classes, the student may no longer attend classes until proof of the vaccinations is properly submitted. Parents/guardians are encouraged to have their children undergo an eye examination whenever health examinations are required. Parents/guardians of students entering kindergarten or an Illinois school for the first time shall present proof before Oct. 15 of the current school year that the student received an eye examination within one year prior to entry of kindergarten or the school. A physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches or a licensed optometrist must perform the required eye examination. If a student fails to present proof by October 15, the school may hold the student’s report card until the student

FAITH BIBLE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

presents proof of a completed eye examination, or that an eye examination will take place within 60 days after Oct. 15. In addition, all children in kindergarten and the second and sixth grades must present proof of having been examined by a licensed dentist before May 15 of the current school year in accordance with rules adopted by the Illinois Department of Public Health. If a child in the second or sixth grade fails to present proof by May 15, the school may hold the child’s report card until the child presents proof of a completed dental examination; or that a dental examination will take place within 60 days after May 15. A student may be exempted from this policy’s requirements on religious or medical grounds if the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) present to the Superintendent a signed statement explaining the objection. A student may be exempted from health examination or immunizations on medical grounds if a physician provides written verification. A student may be exempted from the eye examination requirement if the student’s parents/ guardians show an undue burden or lack of access to a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches who provides eye examinations or a licensed optometrist or dental examination requirement if the student’s parents/guardians show an undue burden or a lack of access to a dentist. Any homeless child shall be immediately admitted, even if the child or child’s parent/ guardian is unable to produce immunization and health records normally required for enrollment. The school year for students will begin on Aug. 17, 2016. Parents/guardians are encouraged to assure that the health, eye, dental examinations as well as immunizations required are completed before the stated deadlines. If anyone would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact the various school buildings or the Unit Office.

Little Miss Roodhouse Pageant State misses investment income despite 6-month budget

Eight young ladies will be riding on a float as a Little Miss Roodhouse Sesquicentennial Contestant during the parade on Saturday, Aug. 6. These girls were active in pre-selling tickets, greeting people,

passing out booties, asking people to sign guest books, and offering snacks during the Roodhouse Home Tour Sunday afternoon. This was a way to engage the girls in raising money for their float. They’ve

also helped make their own signs to adorn it. Thursday evening kicks off the four day celebration for 150 Years of Roodhouse. The pageant will be held on the square immediately following the parade. There will

be pictures of the contestants displayed at the park Thursday evening and all day Friday, in order for people to vote for Most Photogenic. People can vote for as many girls as they want.

Brussels man takes American Legion position

By ALEX HEEB Greene Prairie Press A Calhoun man has been elected to leadership within the state’s American Legion organization. Barry Struse, 75, of Brussels, was recently installed as junior vice commander of the 20th District of the American Legion in Illinois, following district elections. “It’s a real honor,� Struse said, adding that he is the first Calhoun resident in recent memory to step into a leadership role higher up in the organization. The junior vice commander is the third ranking officer in a district, serving under a vice commander and a commander. The 20th District consists of Pike, Morgan, Scott, Calhoun, Greene and Jersey counties. Some 25 districts are bundled together to form a division, Struse said, with the Illinois American Legion having five divisions in total. According to Struse, the other commanders live in the northern part of the district, an arrangement he said is geographically convenient. Struse served in Army from 1963 to 1966, spending most of his time working on classified projects in West Germany. He moved to Brussels seven years ago from Florissant, Mo., to be closer to family.

Portfolio reveals millions in missed opportunity for second quarter The state of Illinois earned $7.9 million less in investment income in the second quarter of 2016 as a result of the year-long budget impasse, Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs said this week. Despite the sixmonth budget plan signed on June 30, the last day of the fiscal year, $31 million remains the projection for missed earnings for 2016. “The damage is already done. Even though we still made money from our investments, one year with no budget created missed opportunity for our state,� Frerichs said. “We will continue to assess the impact and adjust our investment strategy as needed to minimize further damage and do what is best for Illinois residents.� The state of Illinois earned $7.8 million less in investment income in the first quarter of 2016. Threats of unplanned fund sweeps and the need to pay court-ordered bills required the treasurer’s office to make short-term investments that prioritized cash availability rather than longer-term, higher-yielding investment opportunities. “A six-month budget deal is a step in the right direction, but falls short, making it difficult for Illinois agencies, organizations, and families to plan for the future,� Frerichs added. “I am hopeful that when the Governor and the General Assembly return to the table, they will put their non-budgetary items aside and focus on pass-

ing a full-year, balanced budget.� With no budget in place for a full year, the treasurer’s office remains faced with a number of cash management and investment challenges. The treasurer’s office is responsible for managing the state’s investment portfolio, ensuring the liquidity, safety and diversification of investments, and producing earnings at or above industry standards. While Frerichs’ office has increased the 30-day rate of return this year compared to last, the rate of increase has not kept pace with the overall market because of the move to a more cautious investment strategy as a result of the budget impasse. During the budget impasse, the state increased its position in short-term, lower-yielding assets, such as overnight investments and money market funds, to ensure it had cash available in case of a multi-billion dollar fund sweep or another court-ordered increase in billings. This disruption of normal investment activities cost the state about $2.6 million per month, which represents money that would have been potentially earned if the state maintained its position in higher-yielding, longer term investments such as treasuries and agency securities. The analysis compares the state’s overall asset allocation and term maturities each month and compares to March 2015, prebudget impasse.

Barry Struse stood Monday outside the American Legion Hall in Brussels. Struse was recently elected at the Junior Vice Commander of his American Legion district.

Struse said there are three primary areas where American Legion assists people. The first, he said, is by making sure that veterans receive services that are due to them. This, he said, can mean helping an elderly veteran with problems with the VA, or helping a younger serviceman readjust to life after the military. Secondly, he said, the organization provides a

social outlet for its members, and a way for them to have camaraderie with a group whose experiences are sometimes difficult for non-military citizens to understand. Finally, he said, the organization does various activities to serve their community. Struse said he hopes to his tenure will serve to further increase vitality and interest in the organization.

Colonel Cole Revolution of Love cyclist speaks about human trafficking assumes Wing The tour, which was to pass through Greene, is on hold following a car accident, but that has not kept Hannah Harmon from speaking out

By ALEX HEEB Greene Prairie Press Hannah Harmon, a passionate 21-year-old on a mission to stop human trafficking, never saw the car coming. Within seconds, the girl who had set out on a 12,000-mile ride to bring awareness to the plight of exploited persons would be lying on a road next to her mangled bicycle. Harmon, of Cape Girardeau, Mo., began planning her bike trip last year. She drew up a map with all her stopovers – churches, and other places along the way - where she would stop to meet residents and give testimony to the severe magnitude of the human trafficking crisis. In between stops, passing motorists would see her sporting the attire of her organization – Revolution of Love. Greene was one of the counties she planned to ride through. For Harmon, a simple transcontinental crossing of 4,000 miles would not do. Instead, she set her goal to match the accomplishments of another activist she admired – a 12,000mile circumnavigation of the United States, all on bicycle. Following months of training, Harmon set off March 21 from Missouri, quickly putting ground behind her on the southern leg of her tour – Illinois went past, so did Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia. Then came Florida, Panama City on April 11. Some 650 miles into her journey, Harmon checked behind her, signaled, and crossed two lanes of the suburban road to enter the left-turn lane. Behind her, a distracted driver turned into the same lane. She struck Harmon, sending her flying into the car, and over it, and onto the pavement. Harmon hit her head. Hard. In spite of a severe concussion, however, Harmon is no less passionate today about her cause. Though the bike ride has been suspended for at least a year, Harmon, who is recovering in California, still speaks out for the voiceless. She says that while slavery is something that many people see as an extinct problem, it is still surprisingly common today, just less obvious. “It’s hard to get an exact number,� Harmon said, “because it’s not like you can just go knock on doors and say, ‘Are you a victim of human trafficking?’ But experts believe that upwards of 32 million people across the world are slaves.� About 58 percent of people trafficked are for labor, Harmon said. The remainder, roughly 42 percent, are trafficked to be indentured into prostitution. The United States is in no way immune to the problem, she says, pointing out that tens of thousands of people are trafficked through the country every year. According to statistics provided by the Polaris Project, an anti-trafficking organization, one in six runaway children are

likely victims of sex trafficking. In Denver, one example city, they estimate that $39.9 million is spent on the “underground sex economyâ€? every year. Many girls forced into prostitution are quite young, Harmon said, some only 12 or 13. For labor exploitation, undocumented migrants and refugees are extremely vulnerable to trafficking. Often, Harmon said, these laborers are promised a better life in a new country, but end up trapped in hard labor jobs, afraid to go to authorities. Even in cases where they are legally in a country, traffickers sometimes confiscate passports and paperwork. A person does not even have to leave their hometown many times to support this form of slavery, Harmon points out. Millions of these indentured slaves from around the world make products that are imported into the United States. Simply by buying the wrong brand of candy bar, she says, a person could be supporting this modern form of slavery. “Children along the Ivory Coast of Africa are sometimes sold by their families to labor brokers,â€? Harmon said, “which take them to plantations where they are forced to harvest cocoa beans.â€? The beans are used to make chocolate. Harmon believes that the answer to ending human exploitation is for people to know the facts. Websites are available that chronicle products that are likely the result of human trafficking. An educated consumer, she says, can end trafficking through the power of the purse. Harmon says to know the signs of trafficking. For teachers, for example, look out for girls who do not seem to be from strong families, and keep missing school. Polaris Project provides other signs for forced labor – if people are not in control of their finances, or are working incredible hours with few breaks, or appear not to have access to healthcare, they may be victims of trafficking. As for Harmon herself, her recovery continues. Although at first doctors only believed she had severe road rash, she felt something off inside – and that was when doctors realized she had a bad concussion. As a result, she has struggled with depression since the accident, and other neurological challenges. She was recently diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This has raised a new area of awareness for Harmon – mental health. She said she never realized what people who struggle with mental illness go through, and points out how easy to judge people whose injuries are not external, but are deep in their own minds. “When people hear about depression‌ there is such a stigma,â€? Harmon said. “People are so quick to judge.â€? Even Harmon was a bit

Hannah Harmon is recovering following an accident. “I was ‘bit’ by a car,� she said.

floored by the diagnoses. “Wow, I have a mental illness,� she acknowledges, thinking. She said the feeling is difficult to explain, but it is like the mind acts in ways that is was never designed. In a way, there is a loss of identity. “I want people to not judge what they don’t understand,� she said. Luckily, Harmon has an excellent team of doctors, and a good prognosis. She says she has learned a lot about the world and herself since starting her journey. “I like to see the world now as a beautiful place full of beautiful people,� Harmon said. “People who are broken. Broken people, including myself. And in a way, I’ve become a reflection of the broken people I care about.� As for the bike ride, Harmon hopes to pick it back up next year. “I’ve realized I don’t have to do it all at once though,� she said with a smirk. “Maybe I’ll only bike from [Southern] California to Seattle on the next bit.�

CNB soars to top of ag lending list The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) recently recognized CNB Bank & Trust as one of the Top 25 Agriculture Loan Producers in the nation, in the category of financial institutions with $500 million to $1 billion in assets. In an article published in Independent Banker magazine, the ICBA explained that they used a loan-to-asset ratio to evaluate the loan volume per bank. The ICBA also verified the bank ratings criteria of all of its top producing lenders nationwide, stating, “The community

banks recognized in all the listings also earned solid ratings from Kroll Bond Rating Agency.” Shawn Davis, CNB President & CEO, commented, “We are honored to be included in this group of the Top 25 Ag Loan Producers, and are thrilled to be the only Illinois bank on this list. It’s a great accomplishment for our bank and it’s due to consistent, outstanding effort by our lending team. Agriculture is a huge focus in our area of the country, and we are always looking for ways to extend our support.”
