Kane approves adoption of sewer system

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Village of Kane convened a special meeting on July 29 to approve the adoption of bonds to construct a new sewage system in the village.

The village board authorized providing for the issuance of $1,194,000 of aggregate bonds in the amount of $1,194,000 of series A and a $700 aggregate principal amount of series B Sewage Revenue Bonds for the purpose of acquiring and constructing a sewage system in the village.

The village of Kane currently has no sewer system. Residents living within the village currently rely on their own septic system, which they

must maintain. This project will put every Kane resident on the new sewer system.

Discussion of a sewer system to relieve the burden on residents of maintaining their own septic system is something that has been on the table for many years. “This has been an ongoing project for over the four years that I have sat as a village trustee or clerk,� Village Clerk Deidre Scoggins said. “But, I do not know when the project actually began.�

The project will not actually build a water treatment facility within the village. Instead, it will provide for the wastewater to be pumped to Jerseyville, where it will be treated

and disposed of.

The Village Board also amended their village code to reflect the upcoming rates for sewer customers once the project is completed.

The rates for customers within the village city limits will be based upon the amount of water consumed each month. There will be a minimum charge for the first 2,000 gallons of $52.25. From there, each 100 gallons of water used will incur an additional 50 cent charge, which comes out to $5 for each additional 1,000 gallons used.

Those customers residing within the village limits who are sewer customers only will be billed a flat rate of $61 per month

There are separate rates for use of the sewer system for customers residing outside the village limits.

For these customers, there is a minimum charge of $57.25 for the first 2,000 gallons and an additional 55 cent charge for each 100 gallons over this amount, or an additional $5.50 charge per 1,000.

Those customers residing outside the village who are sewer customers only shall be billed a flat rate of $67.00 per month.

There will also be a basic user charge of $5 per 1000 gallons of metered water consumption to be applied to all uses to cover operation and maintenance cost of the sewer system.

Wheeler seeking placement in drug treatment center

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The man accused of burying the body of a five-month-old baby boy in his back yard in November last year appeared in Greene County Circuit Court on July 29 for a pre-trial conference and is seeking placement in a drug treatment facility.

Ryan Wheeler, 35, of rural Carrollton was charged on Nov. 29, 2018, with concealment of a homicidal death. This charge alleges that Wheeler helped the mother of the child, Jamia H. Ellis, 23, of Alton

“Being that he has been clean since he has been in jail, it is doubtful they will grant the request.�

Caleb Brisco Greene County State’s Attorney conceal the death of the child by wrapping the body in a sheet, placing it in a trash bag and burying it in a wooded area behind the home in rural Carrollton.

Ellis is being charged with two

counts of first degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death in the death of the child, as well.

The council convened a special meeting Tuesday morning in order to review a request made by the Pool Board to allow the city’s engineers, Benton and Associates, to submit an application for funding from a grant being offered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) program is a state-financed grant that provides funding assistance to local government agencies for acquisition and/or development of land for public parks and open space.

Carrollton Mayor Joe Montanez opened the meeting by stating that the city is already taxed with numerous financial obligations. “I just want to bring to your attention the city’s obligations regarding projects we currently have going and the financial obligations we have committed to,� he said. “We have committed to construction of a new water tower and water plant, both over $600,000 projects, the purchase of a back hoe, TIF district, comprehensive plant for the city and the list goes on and on.�

Montanez then said that he would like to hear the proposition from Benton and Associates representative Bill Sleeman in regards to what the grant could do and how it is going to affect the development of the pool.

But, he said before they make any decision, they want to know what would be involved cost-wise for the city.

Sleeman said he couldn’t provide that information. “I have no cost factors at all because we were told last week that (See, POOL, A2)

Rt. 16 to Joe Page Bridge could open soon

By JARAD JARMON Greene Prairie Ptess Although not set in stone, local officials involved in flood recovery say the highway leading up to the Joe Page Bridge could be open to traffic soon.

Brett Gettings, Nutwood Levee District Commissioner, said the highway, Route 16, in East Hardin could be opened in a week. This, however, is the best case scenario. He stressed this is a “maybe,� noting it still depends on where water levels have settled by that time.

Joseph Monroe, operations engineer with District 8 of the Illinois Department of Transportation, said it is highly dependent on if waters recede quickly enough and if there is any road damage. He said they are hopeful there will be only slope and shoulder damage, but that cannot be confirmed until water flows back into the river.

Gettings said there is still 6,000 acres underwater. Among the list of structures still under flood waters is (See, BRIDGE, A2)

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Thrills of hunting season have yet to get old Hunting season is upon us again.

In my home state of Tennessee, squirrel season opens at the end of August and dove season on the first day of September. This is a great time to introduce young and new hunters to the shooting sports. Many times, deer season comes and goes without a single shot being fired. And sometimes this can be discouraging for those who are excited about pulling the trigger.

These early, small game seasons allow hunters to shoot until their shoulder gets sore. I love being the guide on these hunts. My trips during these seasons are usually with someone who has just started hunt-

ing. It’s enjoyable to see a smile come on their face, and the spontaneous ones are the best kind.

It seems that I always want to say, “I told you so. I told you that you’d love it. I told you it would be all that I said and more.”

It’s fun being right. I still can’t get over the feeling I get when I enter the woods with a gun or a bow. It’s even greater knowing that, after all my years of hunting, that feeling is never going to leave.

I used to wonder if the passion would wane after a few years. After all, I have rushed into other things, only to have the newness wear off over a period of time. Hunting has always

been different, though. I know men that have hunted for years, who still have a hard time sleeping on the night before opening day.

It’s the adult version of Christmas Eve. The visions of sugarplums are in the form of apples and persimmons.

The present under the tree is a fat doe or a big buck. Our Santa Claus is the true God of creation who has given all of us the gift of rolling hills, beautiful mountains, sparkling streams and an abundance of wildlife. I stand amazed and in awe of the masterpiece of his design.

I don’t ever want to take it for granted. I am thankful for my eyes that can see

it. I am thankful for my ears that can hear it. I am thankful that I can smell the sweet breath of God. And, I am thankful for a mind that cannot understand why he is so good to me.

Bridge (Continued from A1) the pumphouse located southwest of Nutwood, which is needed to start pumping out water that sits in the surrounding area. The flooded area has served as a basin or bowl trapping the water, so in many parts of the region, flooding is still a reality.

Gettings said the pumphouse is 30-inches deep in water with it going down an estimated rate of 3-4 inches a day. “(The water) has to be off of the

floor before we can get our stuff going,” he said.

He explained the pumps they have are submersible, but the wiring is not.

Crews will be able to access the pumphouse in, at best, 10 days, Gettings said. In the meantime, crews have dug a ditch 20-feet wide and 6-feet deep at levee to relieve some of build up and let the water runout.

“We are just glad the river is at its banks,” he said.

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Once they start pumping the water out, it will still take time to drain the area of flood waters. Gettings said it would take roughly 30 days, depending on weather, to pump out the water.

Even if they were to get the portable pumps they had during the Great Flood of ’93, it would have taken an estimated years to pump out all of this water.

“It is such a big volume,” he said.

“The flood is not over for us. It is a long way from over.”

Wheeler (Continued from A1) The child was determined to have died because of blunt force trauma around Nov. 2.

Wheeler has been in the Greene County Jail since November. Bond was originally set at $750,000 but reduced to $500,000 at the request of Wheeler’s attorney, Nobert Goetten.

“At this appearance he, through his attorney, is requesting to make a phone call to see if there is a bed available at Gateway Drug Treatment Center in Springfield,” Greene County State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe said. “The judge granted the request and a motion to continue was

granted.”

Briscoe said it was doubtful Wheeler would be transferred to the drug treatment center.

“Being that he has been clean since he has been in jail, it is doubtful they will grant the request,” Briscoe said. “The beds they have are more for active addicts, not someone who has been clean since at least last November when he was first incarcerated.”

Concealment of a homicidal death is a Class 3 Felony and could mean a sentence of 2-5 years in prison followed by one year of mandatory supervised release or probation up to 30 months.

Dr. Ludwig Dech

Ludwig Dech, MD, 92 of Roodhouse died Thursday, July 25, 2019 at Boyd Memorial Hospital in Carrollton.

He was born Feb. 3, 1927 in Tschervenka, Yugoslavia to Friederike Hoffmann and Ludwig Dech, MD. His younger years were spent growing up on a farm where he developed a great love for the outdoors-horses, fishing, ice skating, animals and farming. He studied medicine and resided in Graz, Austria from 1948-1955.

During those years in Graz he filled his free time with technical climbing and made many challenging ascents in the Alps of Austria. In Graz he met his lifelong partner, Herta PĂźrrer. They were married in Villach, Austria in 1955. As so many of his medical school colleagues, he decided his future would be in America. In 1956 the couple immigrated to New York to live with family in Brooklyn. Not long after they left for Chicago, where he was accepted to intern at West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Ill. His calling and destiny became clear while taking his State Boards in 1958, when a doctor from rural Illinois recruited him, as they needed another physician in their community. In Sept. of 1958, Ludwig, his wife, and their infant son arrived in Roodhouse. He embraced his new life in the rural area. He made house calls in his early years and traveled the hilly back roads to see patients. He often loaded up his children and took them along to keep him company. He worked for the White Hall Hospital where he delivered babies at any and all hours, made rounds, and was often called out for an emergency. Ludwig Dech was a Board Certified Family Physician. He served the community he loved for 43 years and finally retired at age 74.

His retirement years were filled doing the many things he loved. He continued to travel with his wife and was fortunate to visit every continent and spend time abroad in Austria and Germany. He was a good photographer, gardened, and raised orchids, went fishing almost every day in his orange Chevy Blazer, enjoyed hunting, and was an avid reader. He became a proficient alpine skier to share the slopes with his wife, family, and many friends. He spent his later years sharing his many passions with his grandchildren. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Doc, as he was fondly called, always had

Carrollton High School renovations near completion

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press With the beginning of school just around the corner, the renovations at Carrollton High School are nearing completion.

Earlier this year, the Carrollton School Board approved a contract with Control Technology and Solutions, LLC, to do these renovations at a cost of $2,511,352.

The renovation will include a new heating and cooling system from a water source heat pump with each classroom having its own

controls along with a new secured entrance, providing a greater level of safety for both students and teachers.

The majority of the project will be paid for through the County One-Cent Sales Tax with the remainder coming from the issuance of Alternative Revenue Bonds, Health Life Safety Bonds and Working Cash Bonds.

“These renovations are going to mean that the Carrollton High School is being made more secure with the addition of the secure entrance,” School Superintendent Mark Halwachs said. “Also, there will be a greater

level of comfort for both the students and faculty with the addition of air conditioning throughout the building.”

Many of these renovations are being completed using local contractors.

“The Carrollton School District is thankful that General Contractor CTS is employing local tradesmen to help complete this project,” Halwachs said. “There are many local contractors who are participating in this project.”

They include Kenny and Grace Sturgeon, employed through Benton and Associates;

Roodhouse man accused of killing puppy requests public defender

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Roodhouse man accused of killing a 14-week old puppy on June 22 appeared in Greene County Circuit Court Monday afternoon where he requested a public defender to represent him.

Terry Quinn, 39, was charged on June 25 with one count of aggravated cruelty to animals for allegedly body slamming a dachschund/pinscher mix puppy to the ground causing injuries sufficient enough to cause it’s death.

Quinn said he was employed full-

time at Casey’s in Roodhouse. Greene County Judge James Day Judge Day said that he might not qualify for a public defender and ordered State’s Attorney Caleb Briscoe to give Quinn an affidavit of assets to fill out.

“Once he fills out the application and we go over it, we can set a hearing for sometime next week for review to see if he qualifies,” Judge Day said.

According to a report from the Roodhouse Police Department, Quinn, after a night of drinking, took the puppy out into the yard. His wife, Shelby, heard Quinn yelling at

Dave Wolfley, employed by Pointer Electric; iron workers Justin Hill and Josh Sethaler, employed by Federal Steel and pipe fitter Steve McGuire employed by Jen Mechanical.

“Carrollton School District is thankful that CTS has chosen to employ these local tradesmen in this project,” Halwachs said.

Officials will be having an open house in late August or early September, Halwachs indicated.

“We want to give staff and students time to settle in before the community open house,” he said.

the puppy and he later came in and said the dog had bit him and he had slammed the puppy to the ground, the report read.

Shelby reportedly went out later to find the puppy lying in the yard and not moving. It was reported that she brought the puppy inside and monitored it all night and into the next day and later decided to seek help from the local animals shelter. The puppy, however, died enroute.

A court date of Aug. 14 was set to review the status of Quinn’s assets to see if he qualifies to be represented by a public defender.

Searching for something to do this weekend?

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

Our Heavenly Father continues to bless us with beautiful days of sunshine and cool evenings. Our prayers and condolences go to the Robert Lawson family as he passed from this place to his heavenly home. Robert was a farmer outstanding in his field.

Through his life he was a mainstay in the Walkerville Baptist Church and wore many different hats in our community. Next Sunday morning Aug. 11 during our morning worship service, we will dedicate our new sidewalk and entrance pad. There will be a potluck dinner served after the morning worship hour. You are invited to attend

and bring one or more covered dishes to share. The meat will be furnished.

Our text this morning was from John 14:1-11. Jesus is just hours from the cross and is in the upper room with the disciples. He has washed the feet of the disciples, identified his betrayer, gave the disciples a new Commandment and predicts Peter’s denial. Now, Jesus tells the disciples that he is leaving to prepare a place for them but will return and receive them to himself. Through the verses we see the confusion of the disciples and they just don’t understand Jesus when he tells them “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” During

that and throughout the ages to present day, people have been searching for purpose and the meaning of life.

Searching in so many ways trying to satisfy their hunger for a better life.

That life can only be found in the God’s Son Jesus Christ. Praises went up for the safe surgery of our Sister Debbie.

Our recent prayer requests are: the family of Robert Lawson, baby Kalvin, Leo Jennings, Cox family, travel mercies for one of our own. Wednesday evening Bible study will resume at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 7. We invite you to join us for Sunday morning worship service at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesday evening Bible study at 6:30 p.m.

He had one thing that he told them they could not do; not to eat of the tree in the midst of the garden. They disobeyed and sin come into the world. God knew then the things that would happen in the future but he went ahead and chose to create the world anyway. He knew that he would have to sacrifice his son, Jesus Christ, for the sins of the world. Jesus came, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross for our sins.

Repent and make a vow to follow him. And then, pick up and follow Him. Sunday, Aug. 4, Pastor Carl opened with prayer and announcements. Sister Mary and Jeanette led the singing.

Message title: Never Underestimate The Purpose of Storms in Your Life.

Sometimes God allows us to go through storms in our life to be able to help others later. Our storms are in the palm of Gods hands and are contained by him. He will

protect and deliver us from the storm. Sometimes we do not listen to the still small voice. But he will send a storm to bring you back.

Respect your God, He has the storm in his hand. Obey your God. Trust and faith should be a part of our lives.

God can use your storm to bring others to him. God can hear your heart. We are called as disciples to make disciples.

Q Much, Much More!

We are all sinners, but God chose from the beginning of the world to send his only son so we would have a way to leave, through Jesus.

All we have to do is accept Jesus Christ as our savior and we will receive our inheritance. We need to tell others who Jesus is.

Do you live your life to show you have been sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ?

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news

Sunday, July 28, Pastor Carl opened with prayer and announcements. Bro. Brad led the singing. Bro. Gordan sang “A Closer Walk With Thee” and “Oh What A Day That Will Be”. Message: “The End of Me” and scripture from Jonah 2:1-10.

The story of Jonah. God gave Jonah a storm in his life, as he does each of us sometimes. Sometimes it takes a storm within ourselves to help us to come to the end of ourselves. Have you ever put yourself into a situation only God can remove? We have to be brought to the end of ourselves to receive what God has for us. Only God can deliver us, when you have reached your end. We need to thank God everyday for

Hillview Baptist Church news Message: Ephesians 1: 1-13 “Foundation of our faith” Paul is writing to the saints in Ephesus and he is a great teacher. Every blessing we have comes from Christ. God is the creator of the universe. He decided to create time, the light, the seas and the land, etc. Then he chose to create man and breathe life into him. Then he saw it was good. He made rules for Adam and Eve and put them in the garden.

How Long Can You Go? “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 NIV

H

ave you ever tried to see how long you can go without sinning, without a single bad or unkind word, action, or thought? Even if you can control your tongue and your actions, you will probably find it impossible to control your thoughts. Our thoughts naturally turn toward sin, as we are apt to think unkind things about the very people we live and work with. And even if we can keep from thinking unkind or hostile thoughts about others, how long before lascivious thoughts pop into our heads. Most of us count it as a moral victory when we simply refrain from acting on our sinful thoughts and desires. All of this might lead us to wonder if the human race isn’t totally depraved. The psalmist cries to God for mercy, saying “Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.” (Psalm 143:2 NIV) What gives us hope is that God is merciful and loving and his patience and forgiveness knows no bounds. The apostle

Paul suggests that the law was given that we might be conscious of our depravity, and that God’s mercy might save us: “For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.” (Romans 11:32 NIV) So what are we to do? We cannot just give in to sin, but must continue to fight the good fight, struggling every day to live lives of purity and righteousness, hoping that we can do a little better every day.

good GROWING Keeping you growing with good ideas s University of Illinois Extension

Dog owner’s lawns can be saved It never fails. Every time I present a topic on lawns this questoin arises, “How do you prevent lawn damage if you have dogs?” Being a dog owner to a yellow lab for over fourteen years, I have had my fair share of ragged lawns and muddy paw prints. Let's start by examining the why and how in which our lovable pooches are so efficient at destroying our turf.

First is the traffic. A typical suburban backyard is no substitute for what your dog’s range would be in the wild.

Very often backyard dogs will wear down paths in the lawn from circing or pacing. Not only is this hard on the lawn itself but it also leads to compacted soils, making reestablishing turf in these locations even more difficult.

And then you have the number one issue when it comes to lawns and dogs. Dog urine is very high in nitrogen. While nitrogen is your lawns favorite nutrient, what your dog delivers is much too high and ‘burns’ the turf, much like an over-application of lawn fertilizer 'burns' the lawn. Often deadspots in turf caused by dog urine are bordered by dark green, healthy grass. This is because these periphery grasses don’t get hit by the high nitrogen but enjoy a good boost as it leaches overin the soil.

So what is a dog owner to do? Here are my suggestions I often give based upon sound

turf practices and experience with my own dogs and lawn.

1. Train your dog where to do their business. This follows a basic reward training system.

Take your dog out on a leash to a designated spot in your backyard. Reward with a treat when they go. This is a training exercise of conditioning their mind so it requires persistence.

2. Create a non-turf area where your dog’s urine will not damage any plantings.

Create a spot covered in wood mulch with no other landscape plants. Though placing some type of vertical element like a wood post or birdbath pedestal can aid in encouraging male dogs to mark their territory on those items rather than your prized rose.

3. Clean up their mess. Use baggies to remove dog wastes or a rake to break up piles of excrement. Canine wastes (or feine for that matter) should NOT be added to compost piles or used as any type of soil amendment.

4. Dilute spots where your dog urinates.Yes, this means having a watering can onhand and following your dog around and watering where they voided their bladder. It does work to reduce the burning of vegetation, but you will still get darker green patches in these areas from the extra nitorgen.

5. Rotation. Just as a rancher rotates their livestock to

different pastures to allow the grazed plant material to recover, so to can you rotate your pet around your yard to allow for lawn recovery.

Whlie this doesn't necessarily prevent damage it does help keep portions of your lawn healthy and available for kids lo play.

6. Supply your pet with plenty of water. Dehydrated pups urine has a higher concentration of nitrogen, therefore, let your dog drink water as they need it.

7. If you have a dog, you should have a leash. Use it!

Take your dog for a daily walk. Be a good neighbor and make sure to pick appropriate spots for your dog to eliminate. Don't just transfer your lawn problems to someone else. Plus walking with your dog is great exercise and a wonderfulbonding experience.

Most of these are simply suggestions as there is no magic bullet when it comes to our four-legged friends and damaged lawns- save not having a dog.

Please feel free to share your experiences or any questions with dogs and lawns below. Thanks for reading!

Good Growing Tip of the Week: Spay or neuter your pets. This is a general good practice for a lot of reasons.

As far as lawn damage goes, a dog that has not been spayed or neutered may attract additional dogs to your yard.

in 1933, and Buckley is a charter member.

This is the seventh regular season title for Buckley in Krumwiede’s nine year tenure. The second baseman hit .379 (6th in League) with one home run and 10 RBI in

16 games.

Walker, an outfielder in his second season, was 18th in the EI with a .333 mark, and contributed a homer and nine RBI in 14 games. The League Tournament will be held August 4,10 and 11.
