Virus threatens Midwest swine health

NEWS

By ROBERT LYONS Pike Press A virus that is spreading through the Midwest has pork producers on edge. Cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus have been confirmed in 15 states, including Illinois. The virus wreaks havoc on livestock population, taking many casualties with it. “I guess if there is good news

about this, it’s that [the virus] is not a food-safety issue at all,” Jim Kaitschuk, executive director of the Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA), said. “The bad news is, if you get it, it can be pretty devastating for your farm.” Iowa, by far, has the most confirmed cases, with more than 100. Though only a couple of cases of PEDV have been documented in Illinois, Kaitschuk said

there could be more because producers are not required to report an outbreak. Still, he said, many do in order for other producers to take necessary precautions to avoid transmission of the virus. Dr. Patrick Graham, of Pittsfield’s Ghrist Animal Clinic, said blood tests are necessary to confirm the presence of PEDV. The disease, according to the Department of Agriculture, is very similar to transmissible gas-

troenteritis (TGE). But, Graham said it will become apparent very quickly if the more serious PEDV. “If you had that problem, it would be very noticable because the spread of it would be very quick and the death-loss from it, especially in young pigs, would be devastating,” Graham said. “That would be about the only thing that would cause it.” (See, SWINE, A2)

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press The Pike County Board voted to have the chairman submit a letter to the Illinois Department of Agriculture stating that they agree that Moss Family Farms has met the eight citing criteria needed in order to build their hog confinement. The board will also defer the decision to approve the facility back to the Department of Agriculture. The motion to agree with the construction plans was approved five-one, with Dr. Dan Mefford voting against. “The issue of building a hog barn has turned into one of the most difficult decisions I have ever been tasked with making. On the one side my family builds these buildings and has for many years…On the other side I have family that will be affected by living on the East end of one of these really large facilities,” Mefford said. “I would have to vote no on this hog facility.” The board also approved the construction of a fireman’s memorial to be placed on the North side of the courthouse lawn. The memorial will be a 20x20 ft. slab of concrete with a flat memorial stone in the

center. The entire cost of the memorial will be paid by the fire department as part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Pittsfield volunteer fire department in 2014. The firefighters were present at the meeting and stated that they hope to have the memorial finished by the Fall Festival. They will discuss the start date for construction at a meeting Thursday night, July 25. The approval of the memorial was met with applause by those in attendance at the meeting. A variance request from the New Philadelphia Association was also accepted by the board. The variance request was to reduce the right of way setback for their building at their location in Hadley Township from the 50 feet in the Pike County ordinance to 21 feet. Members of the board approved the appointment of Mark Pulliam as a commissioner for the Pike County Housing Authority term ending July 2018. The board also appointed Don Shireman, Thomas Hobbs and Kerry Springer as trustees for Crescent Heights Association for terms ending July 2018. There was no closed session.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Barry Fire Department is hosting their 67th annual chicken fry this weekend, July 27 and the day will be packed with fun activities including the rededication of the town’s swimming pool, entertainment throughout the day and evening and bingo by the American Legion. Chicken will be served from 11-1 and 4-7 at the firehouse. “We’ve ordered 1,100 lbs of chicken, 600 baked potatoes, 250 lbs. of coleslaw and 60 gallons of baked beans,” Chris Little, Barry fire chief, said. “By Saturday night it will all be gone.” Little said there is a possibility of dinner music being played at the fire house while they are serving and there will, for sure, be a band in the park. The City of Barry will rededicated their swimming pool at 2:30. It is the 30 anniversary of the pool and the city is offering tours of the facility and well as serving light refreshments. Swimming is being offered as well. Barry is starting a fund-raiser to raise funds for improvements to the pool and plans to honor the patrons who have supported

the pool, those who have a vision for the pool and those supporters who helped the dream of a pool become a reality. Barry American Legion Post 222 will have their bingo games July 27, starting at 6:30 pm, in Lafayette Park. Cost will be 25 cents per card, per game. Payout will be 10 cents per each card sold for that game. “Winnings are not as great as lottery, but odds are much better,” Tom Miller, commander, said. The evening will finish off with a dance at the Bow Lake Golf Course featuring a couple of popular bands from the 60s and 70 – the T-Zers and the Avengers. “It will be mostly older rockn-roll classics,” Bill Bainter, who hosts the JamFest each year, said. Bainter said in addition to the two classic bands, other musicians from around the Barry area will most likely be performing and the evening promises to be full of fun and music. “Bring your lawn chair and come out for a fun evening,”Bainter said. “We will start about 7:30. Since we have a liquor license here, at the course, we can’t allow any liquor to be carried in, so we ask that no one bring any alcohol with them.”

Swine (Continued from A1) Not only is the rapid pace at which PEDV spreads alarming, but so is the time of year when it is hitting. “I think everyone in the animal side of the swine industry realize it is certainly going to be a lot more aggressive, and a lot tougher to prevent movement from November until April,” Graham said. “So, if we’re having much of it now, it’s going to be potentially devastating when we get to cold weather.” The USDA indicated it is working with stakeholders to identify what is causing the spread of the disease, including investigating reports PEDV may be being spread through feed. Graham, however, said the most likely explanation is that contamination during transportation is to blame. “The problem we see, as I understand it, is we wash, disinfect and then have down time,”

the veterinarian said. “I don’t know that anyone has definitively indicated that the drying will eliminate this virus. The only thing we know for a fact that eliminates the virus is baking a trailer at 150 degrees for 30 minutes, minimum.” Once infected, it takes upwards of a month for a herd to shed the virus, but many animals, especially young ones, die during that time. “We normally expect about four weeks of 100 percent production loss,” Graham said. The IPPA and USDA are encouraging producers to to make every effort to maintain strict biosecurity protocols, which may serve as the only prevention. “At a time when things are starting to look better – it looks like we’re going to have a good corn crop – another new challenge arises,” Kaitschuk said.

Pittsfield man receives injury after accidental gun discharge By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A Pittsfield man, Patrick Dodd, 30, was injured Sunday morning when a gun, an 1866 reproduction, lever action accidentally discharged when Dodd tripped and fell.

The Griggsville-Perry School Board approved the increase of driver education fees from $50 to $100 at their board meeting at GriggsvillePerry High School Wednesday, July 17.

This Week's

Online Poll Week of Wednesday, July 24, 2013

you planning Q: Are a family vacation

Our View HEAT WAVE

before school starts?

A) Yes B) No C) Already have

The heat is on

Share your answer at pikepress.com

Last week's poll results National Ice Cream Day was celebrated this week. What’s your favorite flavor?

We all know it’s hot. No doubt about it.

A) Vanilla 50% B) Chocolate 0% C) Strawberry 0% D) Whatever is 50% the special of the day

The question, then, is what should people keep in mind to be safe? First and foremost, we need to be looking out for each other. The elderly, people with health conditions and anyone without air conditioning are at risk from the unrelenting heat. It’s a good time to check on neighbors who may need your help. Drinking plenty of water is part of the equation, as well. So is sensible moderation in outdoor activities. The climate in western Illinois is anything but static, so this heat wave won’t last forever. We’ve had them before and they will no doubt be on the meteorological calendar in the future. For now, take sensible precautions and watch out for the vulnerable who may need assistance until cooler temps return.

Madigan Coffee crackdown

Don’t blame mankind

leaves bitter taste

for the weather

Lisa Madigan is at it again. She is trying to keep the world safe from coffee mugs, and apparently from goofy parodies. It seems she doesn’t like a coffee cup marketed by Urban Outfitters that looks sort of like a prescription drug bottle. The mug is bright orange like a medicine bottle and has an Rx-type label on it. The prescribing physician is “Dr. Harold Feelgood.” The dosage instructions are: “Drink one mug by mouth, repeat until awake and alert.” And the quantity is “12 ounces of black gold.” I first saw one of these mugs in the hands of a co-worker and found it mildly amusing. She enjoys her coffee. I miss my caffeine. I gave it up seven months ago for health reasons and find myself longing for it every morning. A good jolt of caffeine can really get you going. And that’s the humor behind the mug. Most caffeine users enjoy its mild stimulation properties. Those of us who have quit find ourselves jonesing for another fix. So imagine my surprise when I learned that Madigan recently signed a letter along with 21 other attorneys general calling for Urban Outfitters to quit marketing the mug. Here is an excerpt from the letter: “As you may be aware, there is a national health crisis related to the abuse and diversion of prescription drugs. As Attorneys General, we have prosecuted and engaged in outreach to stop this epidemic. We are actively engaged in a campaign of environmental change to educate the public that abuse of prescription drugs is not safe simply because the medication originated from a doctor. By putting these highly recognizable labels on your products you are undermining our efforts. These products demean the thousands of deaths that occur each month in the United States from accidental overdoses.” Looks like Lisa Madigan and her attorney general cohorts are calling out the parody police. She doesn’t think this satirical novelty is particularly funny, so she is using the full weight of her office to stifle the errant humor. Don’t get me wrong, drug abuse is a pernicious problem in our society. I’ve had too many friends ravaged by this affliction. But I fail to see how goofy coffee mugs contribute to the problem. And in a free society, should government really be weigh-

ing in on what jokes are funny and which ones aren’t? That smacks of totalitarianism. After all, we are a free people. We ought to be able to laugh at what we think is amusing and spend our money in the manner we see fit without any interference from government. Humor lies in the eye of the beholder. I couldn’t help but wonder what would constitute approved humor in the world Madigan would have us live in. Then I remembered a New Yorker cartoon. The cartoonist Pat Byrnes drew an office worker with a meth lab set up on his desk telling a coworker with a cup of Java, “Meth doesn’t upset my stomach the way coffee does.” If in the politically correct world the attorney general inhabits, equating coffee consumption to prescription drug abuse is bad, then a parody linking it to methamphetamine addiction must be horrible. I asked the attorney general if she saw a distinction between the parody she condemned Urban Outfitters for and the one Pat Byrnes produced. Here is a portion of her office’s response: “(W)e’ve taken action to stop efforts to normalize the use of dangerous drugs that are addictive and cause the deaths of far too many children and adults every year. “As a result, we have challenged the promotion and sale of products such as Kool Mix cigarettes, Pot Suckers, Cocaine energy drink and Meth Coffee. Today, prescription drug abuse is one of the leading causes of addiction and death among young people. That’s why we have joined with other concerned attorneys general to question the marketing of products that make light of prescription drug abuse.” Fair enough; it would appear that Madigan doesn’t like these kinds of parodies, which she believes trivialize substance abuse. So will Madigan be sending cartoonist Byrnes a cease-and-desist letter anytime soon? Probably not – he’s her husband. ■ Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and the journalist in residence at the Illinois Policy Institute. He can be reached at sreeder@illinoispolicy.org.

Rain is expected for today. I’ve been hearing these words almost every day for the past two months. June was one of the wettest months in our history and July has followed suit. During one stretch it rained for five straight days. I went to church during that time and they were only letting us in two by two – male and female. I am having to mow my grass about every five days; between the showers. I know there will be some good results that will come from all this rain. The crops look really healthy. The corn and bean fields that I have witnessed have looked pristine. Many oak trees will flourish with acorns. The deer will have plenty of options for food this coming fall. And that is always a positive. But let me say this for some of you who are trying to keep from being negative or who are trying to keep from complaining; I’m sick of the rain! Now that I

said it, you can either say “me too” or you can tell me how I should not complain. I don’t think there are any other options. Now don’t get me wrong, I try not to complain about the weather. I try to keep in mind that I have no say-so over such things and complaining is fruitless and sometimes tends to make me unthankful. But sometimes I just like to let one out (like I’m doing right now). And to be honest I feel better! Some will say that God gives the weather so therefore we should not complain when we get certain conditions. I would say that answer is only partially true. I think there are a couple of other areas where we can safely cast blame; one is ourselves and the other is our ancestors. Concerning ourselves, there are some people who love living next to the river. In fact, I would love to have a small lot on the river. But I would need to understand that lots of

rain causes rivers to rise. It’s just mathematics – not God. And if I build my little cabin without giving this much thought, it will eventually flood. And while I may shake my head at God asking why, He will probably be shaking His head at me asking the same thing. And what about our ancestors? My greatest granddaddy was a man by the name of Adam. He and his wife Eve were seduced by a fallen angel called Lucifer. And the results of that seduction was the fallen world that we live in. It is the results of sin and it not only affected mankind, but the earth we live on. So go ahead and complain, but do so intelligently. Blame mankind and in doing so you will bring attention to the goodness of God and will remind us all that one day that cabin on the river will never flood. ■ Gary Miller is an outdoorsman from Harrowgate, Tenn. gary@outdoortruths.org

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

The life of a giver is a good reason for a potluck “ Greetings from the Ridge

You didn’t mess with Mabel Cunningham. She was the queen of the potluck, and every time the hot summer months roll around I think back to the days when Mabel ruled our church’s kitchen. When Mabel died there was some talk about erecting a shrine to her tuna casserole. Other churches dedicate choir lofts and pianos to various departed congregational saints, but the Methodists find few things more holy that a potluck properly prepared. When Mabel entered the kitchen of the fellowship hall a reverent silence fell upon the aproned ladies present. Small children would stop playing when the aroma of her corn chowder wafted into the room. If she arrived before church and left her Cincinnati-Style Five –Way Chili bubbling in the room next to the sanctuary, the minister would purposely cut his sermon short, knowing that no words of his could compete with scent of Mabel’s brew calling the flock to the potluck. Mabel was not a haughty woman. In fact, if you’d compliment her on her Texas sheet cake she’d blush and say, “Oh, it was just something I threw together.” But any cook worth her spatula knew that a skill such as Mabel’s was not the product of luck or even study of the culinary arts. God somehow touched Mabel’s spoons in a way that would have given Moses and his bush some stiff competition.

Some women have the gift. That’s all there is to it. Being one of God’s non-gifted flock, I know that I’ve stood pan-to-pan beside women doing the exact things as I did with the identical ingredients, but somehow these angels of the crockpot turn out a dish that makes me want to hide mine behind the water cooler. Mabel was just such a kitchen magician. If the potluck was to be held on Sunday then the phone lines in Coonridge would buzz on Saturday as we all frantically called around the neighborhood to find out what she was bringing. If Mabel was doing her Greek pasta salad or whipping up a batch of her hot spinach artichoke dip then you’d better bring a dessert. No Methodist alive could stand comparison to this wizard of the whisk. When Mabel would bring her Georgia peach pie, the assembled eaters would rush to the dessert table, grab a slice and plop it down at their place before entering the main line. She had this trick of baking the thing at high heat, causing the crust to set before the fruit had been cooked and thus creating this delightful little pocket of fragrant space between the two. None of us could match this. I’d turn up the heat and my crust would combust. Mabel held no secrets and was always glad to tell us how she’d managed to pull off such heavenly feats, but for me it was like Tiger Woods saying, “Just putt. It’s easy.” We buried her with her favorite mixing spoon, of course first waiting until she’d passed away. It was a beautiful funeral and the ladies of our church pulled out all the stops for the post-service meal. We’d care-

fully plotted out our battle plans with each cook assigned to recreate one of Mabel’s famous dishes, and though we all fell short of her magic, but the thought was there. I sat there at her funeral service listening to In the Garden and How Great Thou Art, Mabel’s two most cherished hymns and thought of the many people I know who provide the world with little dibs and dabs of beauty, mostly unrecognized and seldom making any headlines beyond the food section of the local newspaper. Fred Haley sat in the row ahead of me. As soon as the first snowflake hits, Fred has it swept off the church steps. No one pays him to be our de facto scooper, he just does it. Ahead of him sat Adelaide Burns who makes sure that not a Sunday passes without a spray of fresh flowers at the altar. I gazed across the aisle to see the Hagner family who are always the first to arrive at your doorstep with cinnamon rolls when someone in your household is ailing or you’re simply pressed to get the kids off to school. Row after row, I looked

across our little congregation and saw good people who sought no notice, asked for nothing in return, and simply made a lifelong habit of giving, of doing good. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Mabel Cunningham was the fact that when she cooked for herself at home, she was content with the simplest of meals. She once told me that there was nothing she enjoyed more than a baloney sandwich and a cold glass of iced tea in the evenings after her husband had passed away. She had the gift of magic in her fingers but she seldom used it for herself. Mabel said, “I don’t get that much joy from cooking. It’s the faces of the eaters that brightens my day.” In a world often intent on taking, the life of a giver is indeed an occasion for a good potluck. You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you'll enjoy the trip. ■ The imaginative commentary of Freida Marie Crump comes to us from Coonridge - a town that's a lot like your own.

PICKINGS FROM

PIKE’S PAST 25 Y : N J S ears ago

125 Years Ago July 19, 1888 We hear that not only the crop of John George, but those of many others on the Griggsville prairie were ruined by the black rust that destroyed his. The low, rich prairie land would seem to be not as certain for a crop as the poorer, clay lands. Tuesday morning Judge Scofield mounted the bench to try the suits brought to condemn the land needed in the relocation of the C and A railroad from Nebo to Pearl, where landowners and the road have been unable to agree. The weather has altogether too much wetness for the general good. Heaviest of rains in the north and south part of Pike county since our last. Haying, oat cutting, and stacking all badly delayed by the rains. The Congregational Sunday School at Griggsville, having procured an entirely new library for its use, has generously and kindly donated its old one, about 100 volumes, to the county poor house. 100 Years Ago July 23, 1913 Captain Harry B. Atkinson, retired businessman of New Canton, passed away at age 70. At the time of his death he was president of the Bank of New Canton and president of the board of Sny Levee Commissioners. The north side businessmen have had the street well oiled for two blocks on that side of the square. On the south side of the square 1500 gallons of oil were used at a cost of about 3 ½ cents per gallon. The big Illinois Valley Fair opened yes-

ew iffi top going up in

terday in Griggsville and was attended by a large crowd. The 21 little orphan children who had been here for a two-week outing, were returned to the Christian Orphans’ Home in St. Louis. Tone down your voice and speak clearly and distinctly when you used the telephone, and don’t yell like a Comanche Indian as some do. Everybody ought to know by this time that they can’t make the party hear at the other end of the line by yelling. If they could, they wouldn’t need a phone. Blackberries are plentiful this year, and on Thursday Mrs. Irving Wheeler and children and her neighbor, Mrs. Wells and two daughters went down to the W. E. Williams farm, and came home with seven gallons each. They took their dinner along and ate it in the woods, with blackberries for dessert. 75 Years Ago July 20, 1938 Riding rough shod over the people of Pike county and their duly elected representatives, the state department of public welfare seemingly repudiated the action taken last Friday by the county board. The board had named George Byron Garrison of Pearl, long a Pike county school teacher, as their choice for superintendent of public welfare. The state department of public welfare in Springfield selected Mrs. Mavis Aber, instead. A gentle “million dollar rain” fell all over Pike county for around eight hours Sunday. An inch of rain fell, and all of it

soaked into the ground, which was beginning to need the moisture. Sixty-one boys went to St. Louis to see a professional baseball game. The trip was made in a truck owned by Virgil Doyle and driven by Roy Crabtree. The Perry and Pittsfield high school bands were among those entered in the annual state fair contest at Springfield. 50 Years Ago July 24, 1963 Twenty-six Pike county men, members of Company A, 3rd Battalion, 9th Infantry, 102nd (Ozark) Infantry Division, are among six officers and 70 enlisted men who will leave Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for Camp McCoy, Wis. For two weeks of field training. The fifth accident within three weeks occurred Saturday morning at 7:30 at the Atlas intersection. This one involved three cars and one towed boat. Ninety-five Pittsfield Little Leaguers were driven to St. Louis to see the Cardinals play the Milwaukee Braves. Those driving cars were Curt Aiken, Rixie Franklin, Don Apps, Dick Heitholt, Vic Callender, Terrill Belford, Warren Perry, Don Little, Marion Smith, Toby Smith, Charles Wittenborn, John Borrowman and Cyde Beemer. Mr. and Mrs. Keith Dodd and family returned Monday from a two weeks’ vacation in the north. During the first week they took the north shore drive around Lake Superior, and the second week was spent at a lodge on Bay Like in Minnesota. The Pike County Democrat may be pur-

chased Wednesday afternoon at the following locations outside Pittsfield: Lincoln’s in Griggsville, Gamble Store in Barry, Barton’s in Pleasant Hill, Boren’s Market in Nebo, Holloways’ in Pearl, Megehe’s Restaurant in New Canton, Bailey’s Restaurant in Milton, and at both Pearson’s and Boren’s Market in Detroit. 25 Years Ago July 24, 1988 Heather Scheiwe, 19-year-old daughter of Bill and Eileen Scheiwe of Pittsfield, was chosen as the new Miss Pike County Fair at pageant ceremonies Tuesday night in Pleasant Hill. She is a sophomore at SIU, Carbondale. First runner-up was Tonya Bear of Perry, second runner-up was Jennifer Goodman of Pleasant Hill and third runner-up was Paula Capps of Pleasant Hill. Winner of the swimsuit competition was Jamee Schambach. Members of the negotiation teams for the Pikeland Unit 10 school board and the Illinois Federation of Teachers Local 3906 are seeking mediation to help settle their contract dispute. Jerry and Eileen Guthrie of Pleasant Hill spent about a year planning for the Guthrie Garage’s 35th year open house. More than 400 people showed up to make it a successful day for the Guthries. The old CIPS building on East Washington Street in Pittsfield went down quickly last week to make way for a new, 2,800 square foot Jiffi Stop convenience store and gas station, which will be the flagship of six Jiffi Stops, according to Keith Smith of SSS Development Corp. The present

Shell station at the corner of Jackson and Washington will also be torn down to make room for the new Jiffi Stop.

10 Years Ago July 23, 2003 As law enforcement becomes more aware of locations where methamphetamine is being made, those making the illegal drug are becoming more creative in ways to conceal their activities. One practice has been to find a seldom-traveled road and perform the “cook” roadside. Sheriff Paul Petty says this dangerous method is becoming more common. A dwindling, aging congregation has decided this will be the last year for the New Salem Chicken Fry and Homecoming. It will also be the 100th anniversary of the event. Marine Corps Major Craig Rush, originally of Pittsfield, is on the amphibious assault ship, USS Iwo Jima, which is part of a U. S. Navy task force that is carrying more than 2000 Marines from the east coast of Africa to the west coast, for possible deployment in the nation of Liberia. Harry and Helen Wright will celebrate 50 years of marriage with a reception and dance, Aug. 2, at the American Legion Hall in Pittsfield. Family and friends are invited. Four individuals from Pittsfield recently competed in the Danskin Women’s Triathlon in the Chicago area. Competing in the running, swimming and biking event were Ashlyn Ruebush, Gretchen Petty, Brandy Pennock and Angela Ruebush. Compiled by Michael Boren

John Wood Community College received a $10,000 grant from Dollar General Literacy Organization to support its literacy program. Specifically, the grant will assist with expansion of the JWCC Literacy program in Brown and Pike Counties. “I am thrilled that Dollar General has provided JWCC with funding to enhance Literacy programming in the rural areas of the JWCC district. The Literacy staff is looking forward to working with community partners to serve students in the new Mt. Sterling location as well as our Pittsfield Education Center,” Julie Bates, JWCC literacy and volunteer services manager said. JWCC Literacy program helps people age 16 and older to improve their reading, writing, math or English speaking skills. Students are paired with a trained volunteer to meet once a week. The program provides free training, materials and ongoing support to tutors and their students. Mt. Sterling’s Dollar General store manager Cindy Wilkerson is pleased that the donations collected by her staff, and many other Dollar General employees in Brown and Pike counties,

are returning to help the local community. “Our staff always asks customers if they are willing to donate their change to support funding for literacy,” Wilkerson said. “It’s nice that customers can see the direct benefit of their generous donations right here in Brown and Pike counties.” “Literacy is very personal to me,” Wilkerson said. “I had an uncle who couldn’t read because he had to quit school to support his family. Now, that was some time ago, but there are still people out there who could really improve their lives by working with the literacy tutors John Wood provides. This funding will help them, and our communities continue to improve.” Jack Pool, coordinator of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program for Brown and Pike counties, says the new funding can help train more volunteers in both counties. “We are always looking for people who are willing to give of their time to help someone else, which in turn helps our entire community,” Pool said. “You can make your own schedule and work with your assigned student one-onone. It is really rewarding. You don’t need a

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press After much discussion and many questions about state funding, Pikeland Unit 10 will have two sessions of pre-k this year at South School. “Every one who attended pre-k last year as a three-year-old will have a spot this year,” Paula Hawley, superintendent of the district, said. “And we will be able to add a few more. We will still have a waiting list of four-year-olds.” Funding has been a major issue for pre-k across the state as funding information has been sketchy and what has been defined has not always arrived in a timely fashion. “Our concern was funding and space issues,” Hawley said in regard to the district making a decision at last week’s July board meeting. “South School is packed and we didn’t know what the state was

going to do. They said they would fund it. We will have to wait and see if they do.” The board also set the dates for the board tour, when board members tour school facilities and check on their readiness for the beginning of school. The tour will start Aug. 14 at 9 a.m. at the bus barn. The board also agreed to be the end point for the Illinois Connection Network, a fiber optic system coming through Pittsfield. Hawley said the district will not utilize the system, but will house the equipment. “That will end our involvement,” she said. “Whoever wants to use the service will have to make arrangements with whoever is in charge of it.” Tiffany Sanderson was employed as the assistant golf coach at the high school and Judy Ferguson was hired as a 90-day consumer science teacher.

GRAFTON WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

Governor Quinn signs laws to make waterways safer for Illinois families House laws crack down on boaters who drive under the influence of alcohol Governor Pat Quinn issued a stern warning Sunday to anyone who pilots a boat while under the influence of alcohol: if you’re drunk while operating a boat, you may lose your right to operate a car. Standing at Chicago’s new 31st Street marina and joined by the family of Tony Borcia – the 10-year old Libertyville boy killed last July by a drunk boater – Governor Quinn signed two bills to crack down on boating under the influence and strengthen other provisions of Illinois’ boating safety laws. Sunday’s action is part of the governor’s agenda to keep Illinois families safe. “One year ago, Tony Borcia and his family were enjoying a day out on the lake, tubing behind a pontoon boat. Suddenly a large speedboat piloted by a man impaired by alcohol and drugs bore down on Tony, resulting in this fatal tragedy. We enact this law in Tony’s memory,” Governor Quinn said. “Tony Borcia could have been anyone’s son, brother, grandson or nephew. People enjoying our magnificent waterways shouldn’t have to worry about reckless, drunken boaters when they’re out tubing, swimming or paddling.” “We need to change the culture that accepts and even encourages a driver of a boat to drink while driving. It is time to take our lakes and rivers back,” said Margaret Borcia, Tony’s mother, who launched the “Y-noT Project” to encourage responsible boating. She invited people to visit the project’s website at www.ynotproject.com/. Governor Quinn Sunday signed Senate Bill 1479 – sponsored by State Senator Julie A. Morrison (D-Deerfield) and State Representative Scott Drury (D-Highwood) – which ensures that anyone operating a motorboat involved in an accident involving serious injury or death must consent to the chemical testing of their blood, breath or urine to determine blood alcohol or drug content. Operators who refuse testing, test positive for drugs or exceed the legal blood alcohol content limit, face suspension of their Illinois driver’s license. This law takes effect on Jan. 1. “Drinking and boating is every bit as dangerous as drinking and driving,” Senator Morrison said, Tony Borcia’s aunt and the chief sponsor of the legislation. “I hope this law will make everyone operating a boat think twice before consuming alcohol.” “Drunk and intoxicated boaters have stolen our lakes from local families, at times resulting

in senseless and preventable tragedies,” Representative Drury said. “These new laws will keep our communities safer by sending a strong message that the culture of irresponsible boating behavior will no longer be tolerated in Illinois.” -MOREIn 2012, there were 101 boating-related accidents on Illinois waters, resulting in 17 deaths and 77 injuries. Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 13 of the accidents and five of the fatalities. Governor Quinn also signed Senate Bill 1310 – sponsored by State Senator Melinda Bush (D-Grayslake) and State Representative Michael J. Zalewski (D-Riverside) – which strengthens the state’s Boat Registration and Safety Act regarding a boat’s carrying capacity, redefines “authorized emergency watercraft” and hikes penalties on boat rental operators who fail to equip their crafts. The new law, which takes effect immediately, clarifies that a person being towed by a watercraft, such as a skier, tuber or parasailer, is considered part of the total number of passengers for purposes of a boat’s carrying capacity. The clarification will curb overcrowding by closing a loophole for boat operators claiming that a passenger being towed is not part of the watercraft’s overall capacity. The new law also adds flashing blue lights to the list of colored lights necessary for a watercraft to be designated an authorized emergency watercraft. This will enable Illinois Conservation Police, whose boats use flashing blue lights, to better enforce the law. Finally, the legislation boosts penalties on boat rental operators who fail to properly equip a rental craft with life jackets, a fire extinguisher or lighting. “With summer in full swing and Illinois residents spending recreational time on the water, ensuring safe waterways is critical,” Representative Zalewski said. “I look forward to working with law enforcement officials to keep our children, families and friends safe while they enjoy Illinois’ lakes and rivers.” “These new laws will help Illinois Conservation Police officers and other law enforcement units remind boaters and boat operators to be safe while spending time on the water this summer and year-round,” Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller said. “Staying safe starts with always wearing a life jacket, and never operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Grafton Harbor offers cruises, tours and boat rentals By BOB CROSSEN Campbell Publications Some new vessels grace the moorings at Grafton Harbor where people can now rent out boats for personal use or take tours on larger vessels with many other people. Jen Gibson, event organizer, said a seasonal boat named Hakuna Mattata offers regular day cruise tours of the river at 1 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and has special themed trips planned through the fall. “That is going over leaps and bounds. People are calling for that left and right,” Gibson said, adding the boat tours are seasonal and will end as the colors of the leaves change. “Hopefully, as long as the river is open, we’ll do it through eagle season.” The River Rambler Cruises – a narrative tour highlighting historical and geographical areas along the river – are 45 minutes long, she said and participants can reserve lunch to eat on the boat which has indoor, air-conditioned seating

as well as outdoor seating on the second floor of the vessel. Other cruises include shipwrecked cruises where participants ride along on the Hakuna Mattata and act as if they are shipwrecked and become stranded on an island. Gibson said the boat stops at an island for a party with a bon fire and food before taking the boat back to Grafton. “We’re going to have a big bonfire and barbecue and baked beans and coleslaw and potato salad and have a party out on an island,” Gibson said, adding there will also be a Jimmy Buffet cruise. She said wine tasting cruises are also planned in addition to a pair of moonshine cruises in the coming months. But those more interested in intimate river outings can rent a boat – pontoons, runabouts, paddle boats and canoes – for personal use for a set number of hours on the river. She said the costs for each of the boats differ because of their capacity, but noted all the water vessels are brand new.

HWFPC awards money to Pike County Senior Resource Expo The Health and Wellness Foundation of Pike County (HWFPC) has awarded $2000 to help underwrite the 2013 “Pike County Senior Resource Expo”. The event will take place Aug. 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Crossroads Center in Pittsfield and will feature more than 75 resources of interest to senior citizens. The event, offered free to the public, will be put on by West Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging (WCIAA) and Meals Plus for Seniors. “We believe it is fundamentally important that Pike County’s senior population has access to current information that can make a real difference in their health and quality of life,” Patricia McIntosh, executive director of Health and Wellness

Foundation of Pike County, said, “The Senior Expo offers a comprehensive venue to showcase resources available locally, including: health and human services; medical (hospitals, physical therapy, optometry); nursing homes and assisted living; home health care services; legal information; financial (banking, financial planning, trusts, taxes); and other regional, state and federal resources.” The Senior Expo has been held in Pike County since 2008. Last held in 2011, the event drew more than 400 individuals with over 75 vendors participating. Not only will the event be an important event for senior citizens in Pike County but for caregivers, or any person who may be a

friend or relative assisting with the daily activities of an older adult. Highlights of the event will include: drawings for door prize drawings for an array of prizes; and many give-aways at vendor booths. In addition to the many resources offered as a part of the Expo, a free hot lunch for individuals over age 60 will be available. For those under 60 the lunch is $6. Meals Plus for Seniors, who currently provide daily lunches at the Pittsfield Senior Center at the Pittsfield Christian Church, will be catering the event. Organizations who are interested in exhibiting at the Pike County Senior Resource Expo can contact Laura Megown at 800-252-9027 or lmegown@wciagingnetwork.org.

Bring

your Daughter to Work held at Liberty Village

Elderly susceptible to the summer heat

Day

Liberty Village of Pittsfield held “bring your daughter to work day” Monday, July 15 where staff were encouraged to bring their daughters, between the ages of 5 and thirteen, for a craft day with the residents. 12 girls attended the fun day of crafting and interacting with seniors. They showed residents how to make wallets out of colored duck tape, learned to make duck tape roses and wove survival bracelets from parachute cord. Some of the greatest fun was had when residents and girls did morning exercises together and there were big smiles on both sides as the two generations mingled. They all enjoyed a cook out for lunch and then did painting crafts in the afternoon.

Many people might choose a nice, hot day over a blustery, cold afternoon. However, excessively hot days can not only feel uncomfortable, but they can also prove life-threatening. Elderly men and women, in particular, are susceptible to the effects of hot temperatures. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people ages 65 and older are more prone to heat stroke and heat-related stress than those of other ages. Seniors' bodies are not able to adjust to sudden changes in temperature as quickly as younger people's. A chronic condition that affects the body's response to heat, as well as taking certain prescription medications also may play a role in seniors' susceptibility to the heat. The City of Sacramento Department of Parks and Recreation says that around 370 deaths from heat-related illnesses occur across the United States each year. Nearly half

of those deaths are people who are 65 and older. Prolonged heat exposure can take quite a toll on the average person. Factor in the more delicate health of many seniors, and the hot weather can be quite dangerous.

Further compounding the problem is higher energy costs. Seniors living on fixed incomes may not be able to afford to turn on air condi-

tioners because of the power draw. There are different types of heatrelated injuries, though heat exhaustion and heat stroke are the most common. Here are signs that a person may be experiencing one or the other. Heat Exhaustion • weakness • tiredness • heavy sweating • paleness • dizziness • nausea • vomiting • fainting • fast, weak pulse rate • headache • fast and shallow breathing Heat stroke • extremely high body temperature (over 105 F) • red, hot and dry skin • absence of sweat • throbbing headache • dizziness • nausea

Hawthorn Inn Assisted Living enjoyed a wonderful evening of history come to life when they hosted an evening with “Mrs. Lincoln in love” Tuesday, July 16. Miss Laura Keyes presented Mrs. Lincoln as she would have been January 31, 1862, settled comfortably in the Executive Mansion and entertaining ladies at afternoon tea. Mrs Lincoln reflected on her life, her children, her husband and her country. Miss Laura Keyes has a Masters degree in Library studies and is currently the Library director at the Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg and is an accomplished actress having performed in many plays. She wrote and researched the piece she performed and appeared in full period costume. She portrayed Mary Todd Lincoln in the sitting room of the Hawthorn Inn to a crowd of residents and family members who quickly became involved in the authentic story she told. Guests had many questions for her at the end of the performance and enjoyed refreshments and the period themed goody bags afterwards. The show was so delightful that everyone hopes that Miss Laura Keyes will bring us another show next year.

News from the Missour bunch (as told by Sharon Straus): “We had a great fourth of July. Spent most of the day resting and preparing some food to take to church. Then went to church for a fish fry and had lots of games and shot off a nice arrangement of fireworks. We are usually traveling this time of year and don’t usually get to celebrate here at home. Roger and I and another couple just got back from a short trip to Branson. Left on Thursday morning and returned on Sunday evening. Had a great time and went to some garage sales and lots of shows. Asked a lady at a garage sale what shows she would recommend to see. Turned out that was a good idea as she recommended a couple of shows that were excellent. And this lady we had talked to is Gary Smalley’s sister. Gary Smalley works for Focus On The Family. Sister Debbie’s daughter Anita got married at a small church here in Philadelphia. She married a very nice young man with the last name of Fousts (might not be spelled correctly). It was a sweet little ceremony and Tim Dunbar (our cousin Kathy’s husband) did the service. Afterwards, we had a big family bar-b-que. Our oldest granddaughter is away at basketball camp this week in Indiana and her momma is coaching so our youngest granddaughter has been spending quite a bit of time with us when her daddy

By WYVETTA DAVIS 285-4880 is at work. We have had a great time. Love it when I get to spend time with my grandbabies. They are the light of my life. That’s all for now.” Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7 Tad and Hannah Blacketer and sons Asa and Amos of Wilmore, Kentucky, arrived in Illinois at the home of Tad’s parents Wanda and Carl Blacketer on July 8th for a visit. On July 11th, they all went to St. Louis, driving separately. Tad and Hannah took the boys to the St. Louis Zoo that morning while Carl and Wanda went to daughter Lawanda’s in Maryland Heights. At noon they all met to have lunch. After lunch, they all went to the Art Museum. Once being done with that, Tad and Hannah and boys left to venture on to Hannah’s parents in Mt. Pulaski. Carl and Wanda stayed for supper at Lawanda’s and really enjoyed her grilled pizza. What a great blessing the evening of July 19th was at the Detroit Christian Church! The local gospel group Anticipation and gospel singer Danny Funderburk did a wonderful job singing our evening away. I could have stayed and listened another couple hours, it was that good. There was a good crowd there but there was plenty of room for more. A linger-longer afterwards was enjoyed as well with lots of good food and fellowship. Steve and grandson Wessley did mowing two days straight this past week, and Wessley stayed all night with us the night in between those days. He enjoyed having a good supper with us, and he and I played several games of Monopoly Deal, one of our favorite games. Then Saturday night our granddaughters Jacqueline and Reese and a friend Amber stayed the night at our house. Enjoyed playing Monopoly Deal with Reese on Saturday and with both Jacqueline and Reese Sunday afternoon. Always enjoy spending time with the grandkids. Here are this week’s selections from “Advice From An Old Farmer”. Hope you enjoy: 1. Live a good, honorable life... Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time. 2. Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none. 3. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. 4. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

A great deal of friendship went into the junior miss pageant at the Pike County Fair. Left to right, Myesha Edwards adjusts Emma Mann’s hair while Mann adjusts Ashlyn Crone’s tresses. Hair was hard to maintain in the heat and humid July weather.

Katie Moore, an incoming freshmen at Pleasant Hill High School used her long legs to pedal the miniature truck used in the 13-14 year-old division of the pedal tractor pull at the Pike County Fair. Isaac Rogers won the event.

Beth Zumwalt/The Pike Press

Brian Nation of Barry competed in the adult division of the pedal tractor pull. The youngsters used regular pedal tractors while the adults used a big rig with pedals for the competition. The adults were pulling 800 lbs. but after three of the six competitors had fullpulls, the weight was increased.

Eli Leonard hangs on for dear life in the mutton busting event at the Pike County Fair last week. Mutton busting attracted several participants as well as the bull riding for older, braver souls.

Beth Zumwalt/Pke Press

Madison Daniels, a second grader at Pleasnt Hill pulled the farthest in the 7-8 year-old division. More weight was added as the participants age increased. Madison’s dad Joe, and grandfather, Frank, both competed in the adult division. Beth Zumwalt/Pike Press

SPORTS Pike Press

Teri Clowers takes over Lady Wolves volleyball By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Teri Clowers is the new volleyball coach at Pleasant Hill High School. Clowers takes over from Jennifer Black, who resigned after last season. Black was hired at the last moment for last year after Sara Delp

had to resign due to scheduling conflicts. Clowers says she is excited about coaching the Lady Wolves and has been hosting open gym on Mondays and Wednesdays through this week. “After this week, there is a no-contact rule between players and coaches until practice starts, Aug.14,” Clowers said.

Clowers, who was officially hired at the July meeting of the school board, said getting a late start is a disadvantage to the program but not as much as the numbers. “We have only 13 girls out for both the junior varsity and varsity squads,” Clowers said. “Some of them are going to have to play on both teams.”

DNR hunter safety course being offered in Aug. 9-10 year-old lady all-stars Area residents will have an opportunity to learn basic principles of safe hunting at a Department of Natural Resources hunter education course scheduled from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 6,7,8, at the Pittsfield American Legion. State law requires that all hunters, born or after Jan. 1,1980, successfully complete the course before they can receive their first hunting license. Participants completing the course receive a hunter education certification verifying that they have passed the safety instruction.

This will be an excellent opportunity for young hunters who need the course in order to qualify for their first hunting license. It also can be beneficial for beginning hunters regardless of age or experience. The 10-hour course includes instruction in wildlife management, firearms safety, hunter ethics, game identification, first aid, survival techniques and regulations. Students must attend each of the three sessions in their entirety in order to graduate. There is no minimum age

requirement, however, students under 10-years-of-age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, able to read the material, and pass a written exam. There is no charge for the course and pre-registration is not required. All students are asked to bring pens or pencils. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. All inquiries regarding this course or the availability of additional courses may be made by calling the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources at 1-800-832-2599 or email: pairport@pittsfieldil.org.
