s one Scott County facility opens, another one is closed due to COVID-19. Students in the Winchester School District returned to class on Tuesday,
Sept. 8, and the courthouse shut its doors for the rest of the week after an employee tested positive for the virus. The decision to close the courthouse was made by the Scott County Health Department and the Scott County Emergency Management office. “The Scott County Courthouse will be closed as a precaution through the
end of the week,” Scott County Health Department Public Health Administrator Steve Shireman said. “The courthouse will go through a deep cleaning over the next few days and other employees will be tested to assure the public that it is safe to return to normal business on Sept. 15.” This latest positive case brings the

Winchester School District suspended classes just two days into the new school year after a positive case was diagnosed in an employee. The district went to remote learning protocol until the twoweek quarantine period was up.

Municipal Court rousing success By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Winchester Mayor Rex McIntire said he was skeptical about the success of the city’s new municipal court system to help clean up derelict properties in Winchester, but now he is changing his tune. “To date, we have had 11 citations taken before the municipal court,” City Attorney John Paul Coonrod said. “Of those 11 cases, seven have cleaned up their properties before their first appearance and two have cleaned up before their second appearance.” The Municipal Court is held once a month using a retired judge to adjudicate the cases brought before it. The idea of the court was to make a more reasonable way for the city to encourage individuals to clean up their properties, whether it be because of an accumulation of junk on properties or an overgrowth of grass and weeds. Prior to the establishment of the Municipal Court, the cost of taking an individual to court for an ordinance viola-
tion cost more than $2,000. The Municipal Court is a much more reasonable alternative to circuit court proceedings. “I think when I first talked about this with the council, we were talking about cases costing around $180 per case to bring before the court,” Coonrod said. “I did the math for the first court date in June, and the cost came out to $289 per case for three cases. For the July court date, the price was down to $162 per case, and for August, it was down to $125 per case, which is even less than what we anticipated.” For the month of September, Coonrod presented five more properties to be cited for council action. “The best part of this program is that once these individuals are cited, most of them clean up their properties before they ever get to the court date,” McIntire said. “I had my reservations about this municipal court system, but it seems to be really working – people are cleaning up their properties when they see their neighbors or friends being cited. The goal was always to make the city look better, and I think we are doing that.”

Memorial playground equipment being ordered By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Last month, R.J. Pasley addressed the city council about a $2,000 donation was given towards the purchase of playground equipment in memory of his daughter. His daughter was a pre-school teacher who loved kayaking, rock climbing and hiking through the Smoky Mountains. Pasley felt that purchasing playground equipment representing what his daughter loved to do would be a great way to honor her memory. The idea was to purchase a slide that would symbolize kayaking down the Tennessee River with a rock wall themed ladder to the slide area. The Park and Recreation Committee had asked Pasley to get a price on the cost of the project. “I came up with a list of what would probably be the cost of putting this thing together,” he said. “Originally, the equipment cost was going to be $11,300, but he has come down to $7,620. I put together a list of what we would need for the project as well.” The total cost of the project will be $9,784.50. This includes the $7,620 for the equipment, $1,000 for mulch to put around the play area, $800 freight from Indianapolis, $90 for landscaping cloth to put under the mulch to prevent weeds from growing, $12 for landscaping anchors, concrete blocks for posts at a cost of $12.50, $50 for concrete to set the posts and $200 for boarder timbers.
“I can probably go to Indianapolis and pick up the equipment myself, which would save us $800 in shipping,” Pasley said. “There also might be other ways we can save some money.” Pasley said the gentleman he was talking to about the equipment said if they ordered it now, they could get it installed before the weather gets bad, and they would not have to make a payment until January. “I checked our account this afternoon and we have $2,560 in it,” Pasley said. “However, I feel very confident that we will be able to raise the additional funds needed through a GoFundMe page. I have a lot of confidence in this community that we will be able to raise the additional funds before January.” Pasley said that the gentleman who has the equipment said he would come and help them get started in the right direction. John Simmons has volunteered his time to do the excavation needed and Eric Peterson, who worked for Morton Buildings, will also be involved in the project. Winchester Mayor Rex McIntire said he saw no problem with giving them the go-ahead to get the project rolling. “I see no problem with the city donating the use of our equipment and manpower for this project,” he said. “My recommendation is to go ahead and get the project going.” Pasley was thrilled. “I just want this project to move forward and not get bogged down,” he said.

Veterans plan on having a ‘ball’
By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times COVID-19 has affected the ability of many local organizations to raise money so some of them are beginning to think outside of the box. The Winchester Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is hosting a formal veteran’s ball to help raise funds for building renovations on the American Legion Hall in Winchester which is hosting the event. VFW Commander Matt Barber said the two organizations are more or less intertwined in the small county of Scott. “There is a lot of cross membership between the two organizations,” Barber said. “To be a member of the VFW, you had to serve overseas in a campaign, but to be a member of the American Legion, the only criteria is to have served in a branch of the U.S. military.” The two organizations are so close that they hold a dinner followed by their meetings on the same night. “We both meet at the same building on the same night,” Barber said. “Instead of [having] people come to town twice a month, because we do have a lot of cross membership, we just have a dinner followed by the Legion meeting and then the VFW meeting.” The money, however, will go towards the building fund and building repair fund of the American Legion building. “One of the bigger reasons we are holding this event at the American Legion is because it needs some updating,” Barber said. “They have some bathrooms that need to be brought up to code and other things that need fixed. Plus, they have some general care that needs to be taken care of on the building, along with paying off some loans. A few years ago, they took out a loan to fix the roof, and it needs to be paid on.” Barber came up with the idea of the veteran’s ball, but it was his wife that secured the idea as a potential fundraiser. “During my four-and-ahalf years in the military, we had many military balls, but because I didn’t like to go to them, I never told my future wife about them,” Barber said. “I kind of comically mentioned to my wife that we should do a veteran’s ball, and from that point on she said it was going to happen, and I started planning for it.” He might have avoided it for his years in the military,

Individuals who have been notified that they have been in contact with a positive individual are asked to get tested and self-isolate until those test results are reported to the health department, which is typically two to three days or as much as a week. A free COVID testing site will be set up for anyone from Sept. 11 to 13 at the Department of Corrections Greene County Boot Camp from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. One does not have to be exhibiting symptoms of the virus to be tested. A valid phone number must be given so results can be reported to the individual. As of Monday, Scott County had 51 positive cases of COVID-19. Neighboring Greene County is at 163 positive cases after an outbreak at the White Hall Nursing and Rehab Center.
but there was not getting out of it now. “When I was in the military, I never let her know about the balls because I didn’t want to go,” Barber said. “But, years later, when she found out about them, she was not happy. She basically told me after I told her about the idea that I needed to plan for it because it was going to happen.” The event is going to be a very formal event. “We are hoping that veterans are able to still fit in their uniforms and wear them to the ball,” Barber said. “Their spouses are expected to wear either a prom like or cocktail dress, and it is going to be exclusive.” There are three waves of reservations. The first wave will allow Scott County veterans the opportunity to register to attend, followed by other local veterans in other counties after Labor Day. After Veteran’s Day, they will open it up to the general public. The ball is five months away, yet they already have 50 spots reserved. “We have had a very good initial response,” Barber said. “Optimally, we would like to have 80 attend the event, but we can handle up to 100, so if there is a lot of interest, we can accommodate them.” So far, there has been a great deal of interest with local veterans. “We have about 50 people who have made reservations to attend the event,” Barber said. “In the coming months, we know that there are some guys who served with our guys here from Chicago that are interested in attending. Eighty is our goal, but we can accommodate up to 100.” Also to raise funds for the event is a drawing, with the first prize being a Banks two person blind and the second prize being a Yeti cooler. Third prize is a car detail by Kemper’s Automotive, LLC. Tickets are $50 each and only 250 will be sold. Drawing will be held after a minimum of 200 tickets are sold and no later than Oct. 1, 2020.
Library grant approved By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Winchester City Council discussed at the Sept. 1 meeting the library grant that was awarded in the amount of $188,252. The 60/40 grant is for the addition to the Winchester Public Library. The library, which is supported by the city, received notice that they have been awarded a grant for an addition to the library in the amount of $188,252. The grant is a 60/40 grant, meaning that the city’s portion of the grant will be $121,988. The library has around $70,000 in their memorial and building fund, which would go towards the 40 percent meaning the city would be responsible for around $51,000 of the 40 percent. The library is going off the plans drawn up in 2013 which will add 971 square feet to the back of the library, essentially moving the back wall back back several feet which will expand the children’s area, which really needs the extra room. The commercial construction price was estimated at $233 per square foot in 2013 making the 971 foot expansion come to approximately $226,243. The grant would fund $188,000 of the total cost and the library would be
responsible for the rest. The total construction cost is estimated to be $310,240, nearly $100,000 over the estimated cost in 2013. Benton and Associates drew up the plans in 2013 and estimated the cost of construction now, as opposed to 2013. “We are going to try to keep this within budget as best we can,” Benton and Associates Engineer Greg Hillis told the council. “I don’t think you are going to get a grant for almost $190,000 again, and you will have three years to get the project completed.” Alderman Ron Bell agreed that the grant was a great thing to get but was concerned about the money the city was expending for all of the different projects, including the upgrade to the pool which the city committed to earlier this year. “We are having to supplement the library to the tune of $25,000 a year now,” Bell said. “They said that they were going to hold fund raisers to help raise funds for their portion, but they have done nothing in a year. Everybody wants everything, but they don’t want to pay for it. We lost $25,000 in three months due to COVID-19, and we can’t even afford our employees right now. I’m just saying where is the money going to come

from?” Alderman Lawrence Coultas agreed. “We keep spending and at some point we have got to stop,” he said. “But at the same time, you look at the library and what a landmark it has been in this town for more than 100 years. I look at that and the people who use the library and it is hard to say no to this.” Alderman Bill Jacquot said the library was a vital part of Winchester. “I think this is a worthwhile project, and I think I would have voted for this before I would have voted for the pool project,” he said. “The library is open 12 months of the year and more people use it than the pool.” Hillis was asking for the council’s approval of the engineering service agreement in the amount of $32,000 which includes a $4,000 fee for the cost of asbestos testing. The cost of producing the plans, specifications and bidding was $27,456. The timetable to award the bidding is May of next year with construction to start in June for a December completion date. If bids come in too high, the project is null and void. Coultas made a motion to continue with the library project, which passed unanimously.
Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller
EVEN MUNDANE DAYS USHER IN MOMENTS Kentucky bow season opened yesterday. The morning was exceptionally cool. I know that because I stepped out on my patio to confirm. Yeah, I know. You think I should have been sitting in that tree stand. You might be right, but since I hadn’t checked my trail camera in a couple of weeks, I didn’t know if my sitting would be in vain. In the early season, I’m not expecting the unexpected like I am around Halloween. This time of year, predictability and familiarity are the norm. If he’s not around now, he probably won’t be until he starts looking for a doe. So, I wait. Tomorrow, however, I’m making a trip there to check my camera
OF SIGNIFICANCE to see if I should have been there instead of on my patio. I’ve seen a good buck there recently, but the bears seem to be ruling the roost right now. Again, the norm has been to have tons of pictures of bears and a few pictures of deer. This will change, but I’ll have to get through this season of the usual and routine. But who likes to do that? If you think about it, most of our life is made up of the things that have no special significance. We get up, go to work, maneuver through our day, come home, enjoy family time or a hobby and do it all over again the next day. And one day adds to another and to another until we have put together… well, until we
have put together something that is significant. It may be an earned degree, a debt paid off, or a child raised and released into adulthood. But a string of routine occurrences can produce a really special moment for rejoicing. That’s why we have to remember, while each day in itself may seem mundane, it is actually a part of something we never imagined would be accomplished. Because if you look back at any significant moment in your life, you will notice, it was most likely ushered in by those things that were predictable and familiar. This means I better get
in that tree stand. What I see, hear and learn d u r i n g these early days, might be the sole reason I am able to get a shot at a good buck when my opportunity comes. ––––––––––––––––––– Q Gary has three books that are compilations of the articles he has written for nearly 15 years.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” -Alice Walker
I
t may seem odd to think that some people actually volunteer to be victims, but if you let yourself be abused or degraded without fighting back or at least voicing your reluctance to be victimized then you are at the very least complicit in your victimhood. A less obvious way in which we volunteer to be victims is when someone offers us something that we know isn’t good for us. An alcoholic who accepts a drink is volunteering for victimhood, as is anyone who takes something they know is dangerous. If you’re in an uncomfortable situation, you have the right to leave. If someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do, you can say no. Saying yes to every request is the surest path to victimization in this world. And
another, less obvious way in which we volunteer to be a victim is when others put us down and we engage with them. They are goading you to play their game, and you can simply refuse to play it. There are real victims in this world, people who through no fault of their own are harmed by others. But sometimes we leave the car unlocked with valuables in clear view, or we accept the offer for something we don’t want, or we say yes when we should just say no. –Christopher Simon

WINCHESTER BY IRENE TREECE 217-371-1386
Hello Scott County Another long holiday weekend for some people but just added to the misery of others when we cannot spend time with family and friends as we have in the past holidays. Not a lot to celebrate but we seem to make the best of it all. Hope everyone had a great weekend stayed safe and had no contact with the virus. It is a shame when the people in government in the country, the state and the cities cannot practice what they preach then try to make excuses for their own stupidity, Never their fault, of course, set up, I don’t think our lives will ever be normal again it seems like this will be our way of life so we need
to start getting used to it. Several families in the Winchester area have lost a loved one or a treasured friend this year it seems like more than usual. I think some of them passed because of loneliness not being able to spend time with friends and family like they did before this virus hit. Being confined at home and not getting to go anywhere is not what we are used to since a lot of seniors still drive and live alone in their own homes most of them have groups to get together with and different activities. We can pray that our lives will go back to the way they were soon. A little humor for you. An 81-year-old woman went to get her first tattoo. As the art-

Signs your pet may be in pain
Pet owners go to great lengths to treat their animals well. When a pet is ill, the animal may exhibit signs of anxiety and upset. However, sometimes it is not so easy to detect that something is awry with a pet, even if the animal is in pain. Companion animals descend from wild animals and it is important for wild animals’ survival that they do not display signs of physical weakness. In a domestic setting, pets may hold onto some of these inherent traits, which can make it challenging for pet owners to know when the animal is feeling poorly. Cats are very stoic and it can be easy for humans to miss signs of discomfort or pain, according to Pam Johnson-Bennet, a cat behavior expert and author of several books on cats. Even dogs may not exhibit signs of pain or illness. By learning to pick up on some cues, pet owners can determine if it is time to make a vet appointment. Q Lack of appetite: A lack of appetite might be a sign of various medical conditions or that a pet is in pain. If the animal is normally a
chowhound but suddenly he or she is skipping meals or turning up his or her nose at the bowl, be sure to alert the veterinarian, especially if this behavior continues for more than a few days, and especially if water is being refused as well. Q Irritability: Cats in pain may be uncharacteristically aggressive, even growling or hissing when other pets or people in the household approach. Dogs, too, may try to avoid contact or even become aggressive. Any noticeable changes in normal behavior can be a cause for concern. Q Increased sleep: Pets in pain may sleep more as they try to heal or find it difficult to move around. Shifting positions, hunching and disinterest in chasing toys are other indicators that pets are in pain. Q Vocalizations: Both dogs and cats in pain may make be more vocal, either meowing, yelping, growling, or howling to indicate something is not right. Q Excessive grooming: The animal resource VetsNow says that if grooming seems excessive or central-

ized to a spot on the body, it may be the pet’s attempt to soothe. Q Panting or altered breathing: A dog or cat who is breathing heavily while at rest may have an underlying illness and pain. Q Potty changes: Cats may miss the litter box or choose not to use it if they’re in pain. Dogs that are ill may have accidents indoors or need to go out more frequently, even if they are house trained. Those who suspect their pets may be in pain can consult with a veterinarian and monitor symptoms carefully. Do not attempt to offer pain medication without first receiving professional advice.
Illinois Department of Public Health Launches travel map to provide guidance on travel risk The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today launched its new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) travel map to help inform residents of potential risks associated with traveling during the pandemic. The map indicates countries and U.S. states with increased risk of COVID-19 based on case rates. “Travel may increase the chance of becoming infected and spreading COVID-19,� said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “To help inform residents where they might be at greater risk of being exposed to COVID-19 when they travel, IDPH has launched a map that clearly shows states and other countries where case rates are elevated. While staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, we know that it may not be possible to avoid all travel. We encourage people who are traveling, whether for work or otherwise, to check out the map before making plans.� Locations that have an average daily case rate of 15 cases per 100,000 or greater are designated as “higher risk� on the map, which can be found here http://www.dph. illinois.gov/covid19/travel.
Airports, bus stations, train stations, and rest stops are all places travelers can be exposed to the virus in the air and on surfaces. The more people you come into contact with, for longer periods of time, the greater your risk of infection if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19. Do not travel when you are sick or with someone who is sick. When traveling, it is especially important to wear your mask, to keep 6 feet of distance between you and others you are not traveling with, and wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. When considering travel, think about the destination. It is also important to think about needed precautions for moving through bus, train, or airport terminals, check-in and security lines, as well as the actual bus, train, or plane ride. Remember to take precautions when stopping for gas, food, and bathroom breaks when traveling by car or RV and as you interact with others and frequently touched surfaces. For health questions about COVID-19, call the hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.
Community foundation raises, distributes $25,000 for local arts organizations The Community Foundation Serving West Central Illinois & Northeast Missouri, in partnership with the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund, raised a total of $25,000 in support for local arts organizations that are experiencing challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

to those who need it most,� Arts Quincy Executive Director Laura Sievert said. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a devastating impact on the creative community.

The Arts for Illinois Relief Fund is a collaboration between the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago, led by Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker and Chicago First Lady Amy Eshleman. The Arts for Illinois Relief Fund provides immediate grants directly to arts and cultural organization to help those unable to pay staff or keep their lights on during this temporary shut-down.

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Remember to be careful what you say about others, Aries. If you’re talking about someone who isn’t in the vicinity, act as if he or she is there so you always remain respectful. TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 You might need some time alone this week to get yourself centered, Taurus. This is especially true if you have been running yourself ragged and are feeling stressed out. GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, do not try to fit into some mold that doesn’t represent who you truly are. There’s only one person you need to please, and that is yourself. CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 Issues around you may be a bit heavy, Cancer. Your role is to lighten up the situation with humor and amusement. Your powers of adaptability will be put to the test. LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if one door will not open for you, don’t force it. Simply try another door. Accept that some things are not meant to be and it is time to move on.
Coloring
VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your approach to things may get some push back from others. Don’t let that stop you from being independent and forging your own path. LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, the old ways of doing things may butt heads with the new, leaving you scratching your head. Go with your gut instinct on this situation this week. SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Unexpected events can shuffle things when you least expect it, Scorpio. Don’t be discouraged; learn how to go with the flow and you can come out on top. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your confidence may wane a bit this week. All you need is a pep talk from someone to get you out of a funk. Listen to what this person has to say. CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Aiming for the latest and greatest may not be the best idea, Capricorn. Material possessions bring you entertainment, but strive for other, more grounding goals.
AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Make sure you are nourishing your whole self in the days to come, Aquarius. This means being in tune with physical and mental well-being. PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 A nervous restlessness may urge you to act this week, Pisces. You could be excited about something that you just can’t pinpoint right now.

SCHEDULED BY ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE IL 100/106 ILLINOIS RIVER CROSSING PROJECT FLORENCE, IL The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will hold an Open House Public Hearing on the proposed IL 100/106 Illinois River Crossing Project at Florence. The Open House will be held Thursday, September 10, 2020 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Nimrod Funk 4H Community Building located at 401 North Walnut Street in Winchester, Illinois. The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the preferred alternative, a new bridge on an alignment 300 feet south of and adjacent to the existing bridge. The proposed improvement is currently included in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FY 2021-2026 Proposed Highway Improvement Program. The proposed improvement would involve removal of the existing IL 100/106 Bridge over the Illinois River which is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Considering the potential for impacts on the community and the wide range of improvement options, IDOT designated this project for development using the principles of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS). Through CSS, an advisory committee was formed as the IL 100/106 River Bridge Project Community Advisory Group (CAG) for the purpose of providing focused and direct input in the development of the study. The CAG has provided essential input in identifying and evaluating numerous alternative alignments for the new bridge and associated roadway improvements and assisted in identifying a preferred alternative. Exhibits, maps, and aerial photography of the preferred alternative, as well as the Environmental Assessment will be available for viewing during the Open House Public Hearing. The hearing is an opportunity for citizens to offer feedback on the preferred alternative as the proposed improvement. All persons interested in this project are invited to attend. It will be conducted consistent with Illinois Department of Public Health and CDC guidelines which will include social distancing and limiting the number of attendees in the facility to 50 people at any given time. Staff and attendees will be required to wear masks; masks will be provided to attendees if they do not have one. More detailed guidelines can be reviewed at the IDPH website at: www.dph.illinois.gov. For those individuals who would like to review the material ahead of time or would prefer not to attend in person, meeting materials will posted in advance at ZZZ Ă&#x20AC;RUHQFHEULGJHVWXG\ FRP no later than September 8, 2020.
