By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Don McConnell brought his 2008 Mustang to the 2013 Relay for Life Event Saturday night on the courthouse lawn. The vehicle and its story attracted a lot of interest.

“In 2008 Ford made 1,382 cars in what they called their 2008 Warriors in Pink Edition,” McConnell said.

“Of that number, 256 were convertibles. This is one of them.”

The Mustang has black exterior and a black interior but pink accents throughout. A pink stripe down the side and pink ribbons on the front quarter panels leave no doubt the car is special.

Inside, the steering wheel

and all the upholstery has pink stitching. The floor mats are adorned with the pink ribbon representing breast cancer.

“Of the 1,382 cars they made, some were coupes, some were sedans, some were convertibles,” McConnell said. “I had a convertible Mustang once and I had been looking online for another when I found this one.”

The convertible was in less-than-great shape when McConnell found it. It had been wrecked.

“It was totaled,” McConnell said. “I bought it and Ryan Moore and I built it back.”

McConnell said he has had several friends and family members die of cancer, including his first wife, Judy,

KCI moving to Industrial Park

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press KCI Satellite has purchased the former Foiles Migrators building in the Pittsfield Industrial Park and plans to move there once renovations are complete.

Denise West, chief accountant with KCI, said the building became available and the

location was good, so the company decided to move from its location on West U.S. 106 and Highway 54, west of Pittsfield.

Jeff Foiles, owner of Foiles Migrators, has moved his duckcall and outdoors products business to the St. Louis area.

The Crossing, a church in Pittsfield, wanted to buy Foiles’ building and convert it into a church as they have

outgrown their present facility. Covenants in the industrial park prevent occupants that are religious based and the Pittsfield City Council refused a variance to the church saying they wanted the facility to be occupied by a business that creates jobs and is a tax-paying entity.

The Crossing continues to look for a new facility.

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press An informational meeting Wednesday, June 26 hosted by the Illinois Department of Agriculture about Moss Family Farm and The Maschhoffs’ intent to construct a hog confinement near New Salem brought up controversy over whether the company meets all the siting criteria required to build.

The meeting, attended by over 70 people, was requested by the Pike County Board after receiving a petition asking for the chance to make public comment. The petition was started

by David Risley, who lives close to the proposed hog farm location. Risley and many others who attended the meeting are concerned about how the farm will affect their quality of life. He made a plea to the Moss family during the meeting.

“Why does it appear that you have no regard to your neighbors, subjecting them to the odor of your hog buildings? I personally ask you…that you have some consideration for other people and reconsider your intent to construct,” Risley said.

Several others voiced worries about how the facility would affect their lives. Linda Akin explained her concern that an increase in truck traffic will cause more accidents on the township roads.

Other attendees of the meeting came to try to assuage fears about construction of a swine facility.

Steve Dunham, one of the owners of LSSD Trucking and related companies, explained that the Maschhoffs have been a good thing for the community, providing jobs for his company and others. The company has a $4.2 million payroll and employs 76 people in Pike County, 65 of which are supported by the hog industry. The Maschhoffs have 21 hog operations in Pike County.

“I attribute our success basically to the hog industry, which has been the Maschhoff farm,” he stated.

Fred Roth, an attorney representing David and Barbara Risley, spoke on behalf of many of the attendees and brought up his own concerns that the Illinois Department of Agriculture won’t truly take into consideration any of the testimony made during the meeting.

“Once this facility is built, the Department of Ag can’t do anything to protect you,” Roth said. “There’s a petition pending in Illinois against Illinois EPA because it doesn’t enforce the law. There are studies out there that will show you that once this facility gets into its place, the Department of Ag doesn’t even accept the complaints.”

Siting requirements for swine facility

•

Whether registration and livestock waste management plan certification requirements, if required, are met by the notice of intent to construct.

Whether the design, location, or proposed operation will protect the environment by being consistent with the Livestock Management Facilities Act (LMFA).

Whether the location of the facility minimizes any incompatibility with the surrounding area’s character by being located in any area zoned for agriculture where the county has zoning or where the county is not zoned, the setback requirements established by the LMFA are complied with.

Whether the facility is located within a 100-year floodplain or an otherwise environmentally sensitive area (defined as an area of karst area or with aquifer material within five feet of the bottom of the livestock waste handling facility) and whether construction standards set forth in the notice of intent to construct are consistent with the goal of protecting the safety of the area.

Riding in a tube, tied by a rope to boat streaking down the river, has occupied many an individual throughout the years.

But effective July 1, the activity is no longer free. The state of Illinois has enacted a water usage stamp for all non-powered watercraft used

on state waterways.

“As of July 1, any watercraft on state waters must have either a registration or a water usage stamp,” Tim Schweitzer, of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said. “It includes all non-powered water craft, canoes, kayaks, kiteboards, paddleboats and float tubes.

If it is used for transportation purposes on an Illinois water way, then a sticker is required.”

Tubes, paddle boats, or other non-powered devices used in ponds or areas designated as swimming areas are not required to have the stamp, only those used “for transportation purposes on Illinois water ways.” In this case, transportation and recreational, appear to be synonymous The registration fee is $6 for the first one, and $3 for each additional sticker which can

be purchased at any place that sells fishing licenses or any sporting goods store.

And if a tuber is unlucky enough to pop their tube it’s double bad luck, because the stickers are not transferable. A new sticker must be purchased when a new tube is purchased and are annual, meaning a new one must be purchased each year.

Clark 54 Drive In for sale

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Mike Glass of Fieldon and his wife, Jeanie, owners of the Clark 54 DriveIn located in Summer Hill, have placed the theater up for sale.

"We've had a couple of people interested, but nothing's panned out yet," Glass said. The couple has been running the Clark 54 Drive-in, one of fewer than 400 drive-ins in the country, since 2001, and they feel it's time to get

out of the business.

Movie studios are planning to stop distributing 35 mm film and move entirely to digital in the near future and Glass said, while it's is not the main reason, "that plays a factor."

No official date has been announced yet. Digital movie creation reduces costs for production and creates a better quality picture, but will be an expensive change for drive-in theaters.

Glass also explained that the sale isn't necessarily a sure thing, depend-

ing on if anyone decides to buy it. He has stated that he would like to get out of the business, but if no one buys the theater he'll have to make a decision about whether to spend the money on a digital projector or close the drive-in.

"Nothing has really been decided for sure yet. I could change my mind about everything," he said.

The theater is open throughout the summer season on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting at 7:30 p.m.

Little League bases are home

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press A Pittsfield city police officer received an anonymous tip as to the location of the stolen Little League bases and the bases were recovered.

City officer Shane Allen said he was working last Thursday morning about 1 a.m. and received a tip the bases were on Libby Lane, in a sub-division near the Little League Park.

Allen went to investigate and

found the slightly damaged bases in the roadway.

Allen would not elaborate on the tip or how he received the tip.

“All I can say is that we know the bases weren’t there a few hours before that,” Allen said. “We think someone tried to bring them back after all the attention the theft got on Facebook and in the papers.”

The bases were stolen the weekend of June 23 before the all-sar games were scheduled to start.

An anonymous benefactor, a former American Legion play-

er, originally from the Virginia/ Beardstown area and now of Peoria, offered to buy new bases and those were used as the stolen bases had some damage. Cost of the new bases was $609.

Allen said the investigation into the stolen bases continues and although Jack Hull, president of the Pike County Little League, did not say he would press charges, he did say he thought the thieves should have to do some volunteer labor at the Little League Park.

Doug Bristow/Pike Press

Six Korean War veterans took the Great River Honor Flight June 20. The men, representing all areas of the service and Pike County, said they enjoyed the trip and wished all veterans would take advantage of the opportunity. Those going on the one-day trip to Washington D.C. included, Andy Chaplin, in front. Standing, left to right, Jack Bristow, Don Chamberlain, Merle Carlton, John Grisham and Harry Gleckler.

(Continued from A1) Gleckler said Grisham, Chaplin and himself all went to high school together, are officers in the local VFW and were lucky enough to take this trip together.

Grisham said he enjoyed the trip but said the welcome home was a mind-boggling experience.

“More than 250 motorcycles escorted us back into Quincy,” he said.

“It was just a long ribbon of red taillights. It was very impressive.”

Grisham was in the U.S. Navy from 1951-1955 and said he was impressed by the hospitality shown the group, wherever they went.

“The airports, the monuments, everywhere we went, the respect we were shown was unbelievable,”

Facility (Continued from A1) Altogether, eleven people gave testimony, four for construction of the facility and seven against. The county board has 30 business days now to provide a recommendation about whether the facility meets siting requirements or not. Board members will discuss the issue at their next meeting July 22. The board will then make a non-binding recommendation to the Department of Agriculture.

“There were good points from both sides,” Andy Borrowman, county board chairman, said. “We’ll see what the board decides.”

Grisham said.

Bristow agreed. He said he enjoyed the entire trip but the respect and honor given the group brought tears to his eyes.

“Little kids as young as 4-years-old and guys older than me, would come up and shake our hands and tell us thanks,” Bristow said Bristow, who served as a supply sergeant in Korea, said the motorcycle escort the group received home was reportedly the biggest one ever to escort an Honor Flight group home.

He was accompanied on the trip by his son, Doug.

“There were over 200 motorcycles,” he said. “When you went under a viaduct and they were going over it, it looked like Christmas with all the

Patrols out for Independence Day

Illinois State Police District 20 Commander, Captain Robert Elliott announced today enhanced enforcement efforts during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday period. District 20 Troopers will be conducting a number of special emphasis patrols in an effort to protect citizens traveling on Illinois roadways. Last year, District 20 experienced one traffic fatality during this holiday period.

During this year’s Independence Day, District 20 Troopers will be work-

ing special emphasis patrols in an effort to keep Illinois roads safe, ie (dui, speed, seatbelt, distracted driving). As part of the Combined Accident Reduction Effort (CARE) which places an emphasis on drivers who are speeding, driving while impaired, driving distracted and not wearing seat belts, District 20 Troopers will be participating in Roadside Safety Checks, and Scotts law the “Move over Law” details .

Over the past three years more than 60 percent of the traffic fatalities hap-

pening on Illinois highways during the Fourth of July holiday period have been alcohol related. The Illinois State Police reminds motorists to never drink and drive. If you do plan to drink, make sure to have a sober designated driver.

Driver error is the number one leading cause of traffic crashes and drivers need to remember to focus on the task at hand. The message is simple, “One Driving Fatality is one to many, and the Illinois State Police are committed to Driving Zero Fatalities to a reality”

Schweitzer said the money raised from the sale of the registration stickers will go toward keeping the state parks open and funding conservation police.

“They are the ones who protect the parks and the waterways and arrest the violators,” he said.

Schweitzer said public hearings were held on the matter, although he wasn’t sure if any were held in this area. He said the canoe and kayaking clubs were in favor of the legislation.

Wal-Mart in Pittsfield has the stickers and said that as of Friday evening, they had sold none.

City opens burn pile

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The Pittsfield City Council officially opened the burn pile at last night’s regular council meeting but with some dismay. After spending the past month and untold dollars cleaning the spot designated for yard waste only, old pieces of lumber were found at the site Tuesday morning.

“Somebody has already violated the rules,” Robert Wood, alderman filling in for Mayor John Hayden who had surgery recently. “It’s not for building materials, yard waste only.”

In addition to cleaning the offending materials from the site, city workers installed video cameras in the area to catch those violating the rules.

Wood declined to say how many cameras or to divulge their locations but said there was enough to gather evidence against those using the site illegally.

The council approved a 4-way stop at the intersection of East Perry and North Madison and will consider placing stop signs at the intersections of Valley View and Sunset as well as Valley View and Lowry.

By JEANETTE WALLACE Pike Press Governor Pat Quinn issued a veto Tuesday, July 2 to the concealed carry bill, proposing more restrictions to the bill.

His alterations include among other things, limiting a person to carrying only one magazine that is only capable of holding 10 or less bullets, allowing employers to restrict guns on their properties, even inside vehicles on parking lots, and prohibits anyone from carrying a firearm in an area where alcohol is consumed.

"I understand Governor Quinn's reasoning for each and every one of his concerns. They all make sense to me," Paul Petty, Pike County sheriff, said.

Dr. Dan Mefford, Pike County board member, discussed that he believes Illinois legislators have been trying to interpret the constitution to

say what they want it to say.

"They continue to ignore the simple words of the supreme law of the land," he said.

The legislature will meet July 8 to discuss the changes to the bill. The deadline given to the state by the appellate court to change the law is July 9.

"I think the appellate court erred when they said it is unconstitutional and you have six months to fix it.

Either it is unconstitutional or it is not," Petty said.

There is some controversy over what will happen if the issue is not resolved. Some believe that it would mean any gun owner could carry a firearm anywhere, while others believe it would be up local governments to create laws.

"I think there's a good chance that they'll override the governor's legislation," Mefford said.

Elijah Garner climbs on one of the antique pieces that belonged to his grandfather, the late Jim Sanderson. Sanderson’s impressive collection of antique tractors and equipment were sold Saturday at an auction in Milton where buyers from all over the world converged to bid on the unique pieces, some one-of-a kind.

Sanderson auction brings large crowd

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press The sale of Jim and John Sanderson’s antique tractor and machinery Saturday in Milton attracted an international crowd. “ I think I saw vehicles with nearly every license plate in the country, Karrie Spann, Milton village clerk, said. “And I heard people were flying in from other countries for it.”

The sale was conducted by Aumann Auctions, who specialize in auctions of this type.

The All-Work tractor, a rare piece manufactured in the early 20th century, was bought by officials of Titan Wheel, the successor to Electric Wheel, the manufacturer of the piece of equipment. Price was $40,000.

Even smaller items commanded

a big price. Sanderson’s bell collection featuring both small and large bells attracted active bidding wars with one of the larger bells bring around $1,200.

“I’m not surprised,” Spann said.

“It was a great colletion of stuff and they had almost a perfect day for it.”

Spann said she was pleased the auction brought so many people to Milton and for the opportunity to

show off the picturesque little town, although the exposure came at a price.

“Some of those big, heavy pieces had to be dragged out and others were just heavy,” Spann said.

“There was minimal damage to our street, some gouges were made in the surface, but they have assured it is going to be taken care off. It’s no big deal.”

PHS Class of '65 Planning Reunion Pittsfield High School graduates of 1965 have begun planning their 50th reunion. At a June 15 gathering originated by Mike McGann and hosted

by Caren Collver Goloff, an informal group decided to schedule the 3-day event to coincide with the 2015 PHS homecoming. Discussion centered on steps necessary over the next 2 years to make the celebration successful as people volunteered to donate services or head committees. Steve Sealock agreed to be overall coordinator. Richard Stauffer, acting treasurer, will seek donations to a small 'seed fund' established.

The challenge, however, is to involve all classmates in the reunion. The process of locating colleagues and finding

mailing and email addresses as well as phone numbers is difficult. Gary Wilder and Paul Ransom, dedicating numerous hours, have eased the task by creating a class web site and gmail account. The web site will released later, closer to the event. Ready now is the gmail account: saukees1965@ gmail.com. It is a central as well as permanent location for the Class of '65 to share thoughts in addition to conducting class business for many years ahead. Classmates are encouraged to email their updated contact information and suggestions for the 2015 reunion.

A) Have a BBQ. B) Watch fireworks.

C) Go camping.

Share your answer at pikepress.com

Last week's poll results My favorite part of the Western Illinois Fair is:

It’s a week to pause and consider the subject of patriotism.

On these opinion pages, letters to the editor and columns consider such topics as flag etiquette, learning the Pledge of Allegiance and what the Founding Fathers thought about Godgiven rights. The cartoon even advises us how to enjoy fireworks.

Here in the heartland, we take our patriotism seriously.

But between the sparklers and the burgers and the bug spray, take some time, if only a moment, to consider the brave and visionary people who launched our nation 237 years ago. Think of all the lives that have been pledged to its continued dream of freedom. Think of the role the United States of America can play on the world stage just by upholding standards of liberty and integrity.

True, it’s been a rocky road the past few months with scandal following disturbing scandal. But the very fact that these misdeeds can be revealed, investigated, spoken of and criticized speaks volumes for the way America operates.

We can’t avoid every problem, but as long as we can courageously confront misdeeds and demand improvement from our government, if only through our voice at the ballot box, there is hope.

This Independence Day, why not take a few moments to be sure the next generation in your family knows what patriotism means to you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Update on Legion flags in Barry Barry American Legion has a flag with name tag, “JOHN S. BROWN,” that is beyond repair. It is a 48-star flag, so it’s several years old. We would like to find a family member who is willing to pay for a new flag, but if we are unable to find someone, we will replace it out of our flag fund. That is what the fund is intended for. Of course, considering that we now have 525 flags, if we have to pay for many replacements, it will be depleted rather quickly.

Since I have become finance officer for Post 222, I have been placing “memorials” in our regular operating account, if they weren’t specifically named for flag fund or scholarship savings. In the future, if you make a memorial donation, please specify, if you have a preference. Currently, we have $4,635.07 in the flag fund, and $7,296.48 in the scholarship fund. And we appreciate all the support!

TOM MILLER Pittsfield, Ill.

Appreciates efforts of State’s Attorney As a resident of Pike County and a former member of the Pike County Board, I am disappointed that some members of our present board do not seem to want to listen to the advice given to them by their own attorney. I commend State’s Attorney Carrie Boyd for having the courage to stand up and try to give much-needed advice even though it is not what some want to hear. At this time I have not completely decided to stand on either side of the issue. I feel it is necessary to wait until the State of Illinois completes what has been assigned to them by the federal government. Again, thank you, Carrie Boyd, for having what it takes to do the correct thing.

RAYMOND E. DAVENPORT Pittsfield, Ill.

Scandals of ‘protection’ are increasing, but who’s protecting us?

First, it was the border patrol protecting us by surreptitiously selling weapons to the Mexican drug cartel under the auspices of Attorney General Eric Holder and his Justice Department. The Attorney General was later censured for lying to Congress about his Fast and Furious arms program fiasco that led to the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Then came Benghazi. President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the entire military forces of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force were so busy protecting the rest of us so well they could not send any aid to assist the four desperate Americans who conse-

State’s attorney discusses concealed carry I have received many questions about the new conceal carry law, as well as the existing Unauthorized Use of Weapons (UUW) statute that has been held unconstitutional by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. I am proud to see that Illinois will soon make history by finally joining the other 49 states in recognizing the right to legally carry a concealed firearm. This advancement in law is surely the result of the devoted efforts of many individuals who united through our democratic process. I wanted to do my own small part to aid in this cause and was given the opportunity to work on a panel with Lt. Governor Simon and other legislators from both parties to help make it clear that the time for change was upon us. It was a terrific opportunity to brainstorm with Ms. Simon, who is from Carbondale, as she understands firsthand the unique concerns we have here in downstate Illinois, and I participated due to the importance of this cause to Pike County.

I grew up in the country and lived on a farm during all of my childhood. We lived next to a busy road, and it was not uncommon for someone passing through to arrive on our front doorstep at all hours of the night in search of a telephone or gallon of gasoline. There were a few times we caught someone trespassing down by the barns, and there were a handful of occasions where one of us heard alarming noises somewhere inside our home. Fortunately, we were never the victims of any violent crime, but it was a comfort knowing Dad kept a gun in the house just in case. That same gun now belongs to my husband, and he will pass it down to our son when Andrew is old enough to responsibly handle and care for a firearm. I remember Dad carrying this gun a few times when he thought he might need some additional assurance in a remote area. I understand the desire to exercise one’s Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and I wholeheartedly support the new conceal and carry legislation that will soon become law. While I do not personally or legally agree with every provision of the bill as it was passed, I will use my common sense in enforcing it and all of our other state laws.

l respect the roughly 10% of State’s Attorneys in Illinois who have publically declared they will not enforce the existing UUW law in whole or in part and won’t speculate why they made their individual decisions. I won’t deny that I have struggled with separating my personal feelings from my legal responsibility to Pike County. In the end, I have to honor the responsibilities for which I was elected. It is not that I disagree that lawabiding citizens should be able to carry a concealed weapon—and that they have waited long enough. What is critical to me is the fact that higher law enforcement agencies have made clear that they will continue to enforce the existing law as long as it remains in effect as ordered by the 7th Circuit. As a local prosecutor, I have no influence over the policies of the

State Police or federal officials. I encourage you to review the Illinois State Police website (http://www.isp.state.il.us) for their official statement on this topic. I would have no authority and no ability to stop prosecutions if these agencies turn the matters over to the Attorney General’s Office or U.S. Attorney’s Office. My consent or agreement is not necessary for prosecutions to go forward in such scenarios. Given the focus on this issue at the present time, it is entirely possible that this type of situation could happen.

I have spoken with legal counsel for the ATF and representatives of the State Police who have made their policies clear to me, and I have a great deal of respect for these agencies even if I do not agree with all of their views.

I would not be able to bear it if someone carried a concealed firearm because I made a declaration that I would not enforce the law, only for that person to be arrested by a state or federal official and prosecuted by another office. The time, money, and emotional toll of fighting a charge is not something I would wish upon anyone who believed he or she could freely carry a firearm because of a public statement I issued.

The greatest responsibility I have, other than to my family, is that which I owe to Pike County as its attorney. The legal liability to Pike County if it is named as a defendant in any wrongful death or other civil lawsuit would be shattering.

I’ve been asked to provide an example of how this would occur, and one possible situation is a death resulting from someone carrying a gun that accidentally fired. The family of the deceased could certainly name me and/or Pike County as defendants in a lawsuit for wrongful death and cite the fact that Pike County and/or I encouraged this individual to carry a weapon through our statements.

The burden of proof in civil court is fairly low, yet the stakes to Pike County are quite high. Is it probable that this would happen? Nobody can answer that question for certain, but I do know it is indeed possible given the litigious society in which we live. Just like a house fire, all it takes is one to be completely devastating. That is not a risk I am prepared to take with your public funds.

When I ran for office, I vowed never to put my own personal feelings or political advancement above the duties of my office. I will not knowingly do anything that could cause harm to this wonderful county that I love. I know that our homes and farms are so much more than places to live or make a living, and I will continue to ensure that the taxes you pay on your property will never go up to pay for a mistake I made as your attorney. The July 9th deadline for the Governor to sign or veto the concealed carry bill is fastapproaching, and there are likely more than enough votes in the legislature to override any veto during the veto session if, in fact, the bill is not returned to the legislature as it was voted upon. We will have a new law soon, and this is a very exciting time in the history of Illinois.

Do not allow a tragedy to overshadow this triumph. We have come too far and worked too hard to let that happen.

quently died in Benghazi.

The IRS shield is also protecting us.

This administration’s personnel in charge at the Internal Revenue Service were very dedicated to carrying out the White House’s desire to protect us from all those dangerous religious groups and any other organizations who would dare use radical words like Tea Party, Patriot, Loyal Citizen and other targeted, unsavory words in their names when applying for IRS tax exempt approval. The IRS’s zealous pursuit to protect us from people who would openly profess to care about our country caused the FBI’s Intimidation Division to work overtime in investigating the shadowy background of these applicants.

Another scandal. James Rosen, the suspected spy, co-conspirator and flight risk.

He coincidentally happens to be the Fox News correspondent, thorn in the Obama administration’s side. Mr. Rosen was the object of a secret search warrant signed by the above-mentioned Attorney General Eric Holder. The same Eric holder who is a close friend of Barack Obama and who later lied to Congress about the search warrant. It is comforting to know we are being protected from this suspected spy who only outwardly appears to be honest and trustworthy. A perjurer and the FBI warrantless wiretappers are leading this special protection detail.

The Associated Press scandal is particularly ironic. This liberal news organization who at times operated as a propaganda arm for the Obama administration found their friends were willing to wield the power in the unpatriotic law called the Patriot Act to activate the secret FISA court and their Secret Police to target even supposed friends when it becomes politically expedient to do so. Does anyone doubt this constitution-violating intrusion into the Associated Press was for any other reason but protecting us?

The EPA scandal. Why anything this subversive, out-of-control agency does could ever come as a surprise to those who have to deal with it is beyond belief. The Environmental Protection Agency has used their Gestapo methods to enforce so many unsavory rules under the pretense of protecting us that they would be laughable if so much they do wasn’t so painfully destructive. The name of this agency is an oxymoron.

The National Security Agency sandal.

This one has the distinction of not only the latest, but the largest one. The scope of secretly spying on hundred of millions of America citizens is simply staggering.

The head of the agency, James Clapper, also sat in front of a Congressional committee and lied under oath. He brazenly perjured himself by answering a direct question “NO” when he had to know his answer was totally false. The KGB arm of the National Security agency has developed a spy program that would make the Russian regime’s KGB jealous of its size and capabilities.

The most pressing question for all American citizens is this: Who or what is going to protect us from the government agencies who are supposed to be protecting us? We urgently need an answer before we find it is too late to save us from our protectors!

The Coonridge Digest: Freida Marie Crump

The truth about privacy, what’s left of it Greetings from the Ridge I love the story about the Florida man who was arrested for mowing his yard in the nude. His neighbors said they didn’t mean to be prudish, but there was something profoundly disconcerting about taking a gulp of their morning coffee while looking out the window and seeing a naked man pushing a Sears E-Z Trim back and forth in front of their windows.

But the astounding part of the story was the fellow’s indignation at being arrested. He said, “It’s my yard and my body. I can’t believe that anyone would try to peek into my business!” It took three arrests and a weekend stint in jail to convince him to finally wear pants and realize that his privates lose all sense of privacy when exposed to the Florida sunshine.

We laugh at such naiveté then end up doing the same thing ourselves when it comes to our own secrecy. Any technology expert will tell you that if you put yourself out there, be it nude in your backyard or when you make a cell phone call, you have just entered public domain, viewable for anyone in the world to see. Every time you make a phone call, use a credit card, email, Skype, Facebook or text, you’ve just gone public and to think otherwise leaves you as foolish as the bare-butted

Floridian mowing his yard. Any time you make a cell phone call you can be tracked. Always. Every time a new “untrackable” system is developed, a sister system is then developed to break the code, as every effort to fool the system ends up in an exercise of deceiving ourselves.

The few so-called perfect security systems have proven themselves to be so cumbersome that most security experts have thrown up their technological hands and simple declared, “If you don’t want it known, don’t put it out there.”

Perhaps the silliest notion of all is to think that this lack of privacy is something that came along with the invention of the Internet when the foolishness of thinking that keeping public acts private can be dated back to creation. “Go ahead and take a bite of that apple, Adam.

Don’t worry. Your data can’t be retrieved.”

In fact, the whole idea of the great independent and private American has been a myth for a long time. The moment you’re born your birth is recorded in a government book, you get a Social Security number to register you for the rest of your life, you sign up to vote and you’re on the role, then even your income is open to full display by the IRS. The last true American maverick died at the hands of Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke and even his death was recorded in the Dodge City clerk’s files.

The current brouhaha concerns government snoop-

PIKE’S PAST

50 Years ago: Bunting and Barrow begin new clinic 125 Years Ago June 28, 1888 The 26th annual convention of Sunday school workers of Pike county met at Barry Thursday morning, June 21. Promptly at 10 a.m. Chairman Jon Shastid called the convention to order.

The Chautauqua of Summer Hill gave a magic lantern entertainment Friday night last for the benefit of the society.

Street superintendent Wise of Griggsville has removed the hitching racks off of Quincy Avenue and commenced the laying of new sidewalks and grading the streets. At the same time, work on the fairgrounds is progressing rapidly. The contracts for the main building have been let.

Binders are being brought out of the sheds to prepare for cutting wheat. The harvest draweth near.

100 Years Ago July 2, 1913 The Pittsfield Business Men’s Association has completed its work for the big Fourth of July celebration here Friday. It will be held on the beautiful Bates grounds, two blocks south of the square, where ample provision will be made for the comfort of the visitors.

While it is not compulsory, it has been generally agreed that all stores, offices and business places will close July 4th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It is very probable that after the July meeting of the Perry town board Sunday ball games will be stopped.

There has been considerable complaint raised from various sources against Sunday games.

The Illinois Valley Fair will be held at Griggsville July 22-25, and parties were in Pittsfield last week distributing advertising matter.

A special train to the Griggsville fair will leave Pittsfield at 12:50 p.m., and will leave Griggsville returning at 6 p.m. There will be plenty of equipment and coaches to accommodate all who wish to go.

During the months of July and August the Pittsfield public library will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. only.

Lon Leonard and Harold Morris passed through Milton Friday morning en route to White Hall via Winchester, Manchester and other towns. They were marking telephone poles for an auto route to those points from Pittsfield.

We of New Hartford wish Pittsfield people to know that we are all coming to the Fourth Friday. It is almost impossible for the harvest hands to stand the work on account of the extreme heat.

75 Years ago June 29, 1938 Pike county is about $20,000 in debt, and the board of supervisor may ask for a tax levy increase to pay it off. County assessed valuation is $14,640,549.00.

The Church of Christ at Nebo announces a series of services to begin Sunday night July 3, and extend over three Sundays. Evangelist W. Carl Ketcherside of St. Louis will be in charge. Mr. Ketcherside lived in Pike county about 17 years ago, attended school at Pearl, and preached his first sermon at Old Pearl at age 13.

The mowing season at Samuel Taylor cemetery near Rockport is about half over, and many have failed to send their dollar to the secretary to pay Caretaker Lawrence Fast for the care of the lots he has been mowing.

It is hoped those interested will send their money as soon as possible.

In the Franklin school, Carlene and Jackie Dyer had perfect attendance this past term. This was the seventh year of perfect attendance for Carlene.

Mrs. Myron Tedrow has received a nice letter from a missionary in China, thanking her for the money sent by the M. E. Sunday school class taught by Mrs. Tedrow at New Salem. The money was for a hospital in China.

A petition is to be circulated soon in the outlying districts of Pleasant Vale township to decide whether New

Maybe I’m being naïve but I’m less concerned about an inept bureaucracy tracing my calls than a sneaky little fellow in an overseas basement trying to filch my credit card number. At least with government we have the pretense of oversight and constitutional protection. The little weasel with a bit of Internet savvy seems more of a threat.

And as usual, the real enemy, to quote Pogo, is us.

The more we crave access to the rest of the world, the more easily the rest of the world will have a way to dig into the drawers of our own lives. It’s a tradeoff, Bubba.

The day the first settlers to our shores said, “This town needs a well. Who’s got a shovel?” we started giving up bits and pieces of our privacy.

Maybe the best cure would be to simply spend less time doing the things we don’t want known. Our lay church’s fellowship chairman, Martha Pitts, told me she wasn’t crazy about the new minister. She told her entire committee that she didn’t like the fellow. Martha Pitts told most of the civilized world that she didn’t like the

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Keep your perspective

I love the outdoors but you can be assured of the fact that sooner or later accidents will happen.

Most of the time these are minor and not worth mentioning. On other occasions they are more climatic and the setbacks are longer.

Not only do accidents happen during our outdoor activities but they also happen in our everyday lives. Again, most of the time, they are minor inconveniences that are soon forgotten about. How many of us fishermen can remember the day or days that we dropped a rod into the lake or when we stepped on one and broke it?

These things happen to all of us. But it does seem there are seasons of accidents as well; those times that bad things just pile up.

Just this past month, on one fishing trip, my son left the headlights on in my truck. You can imagine the rest of the story. One day we forgot to put the plug in the boat. Another day, a reel de-

One of the largest crowds of Pike county Republicans in recent years turned out Saturday night for a hot fund raising meeting in the American Legion hall. A total of 450 persons paid $5 each to attend. Chairman Kenneth Stark said 550 tickets were sold. Guest speaker was Congressman Page Belcher, the only Republican representative from Oklahoma. He was introduced by Congressman Paul Findley.

Mike Roche, seventh grade teacher and elementary school coach at Milton, has resigned to accept a position in the East Moline school district. He has taught and coached at Milton the past seven years.

Working is progressing at a fast clip on the new Pittsfield sewer lagoon south of town.

25 Years Ago June 29, 1988 The property tax bills will be in the mail soon. The county’s total assessed valuation is down from $107.2 million to $105.6 million, a consistent trend in recent years.

J. L. “Mick” Laugharn, 89, of Pleasant Hill died June 21 in the Barry Community Care Center. Mr. Laugharn began a banking career in 1918 as bookkeeper with the Citizens State Bank. He was appointed cashier of the bank and retired in 1965 after 47 years service. He was a long-time member of the Pleasant Hill Lions Club and spent many years as a member of the Pike County Fair board.

The Sny drainage district is using a 167-ton “walking” dragline called a Monighan to remove silt and debris from the Sny channel. It was left in place by the company that did Sny construction in the 1960s. The drainage district bought it three years ago and overhauled, rebuilt and repainted it.

guy, then she was mortified when she heard a knock on her door one morning to find the minister, humble hat in hand, inquiring as to what he’d done to offend her. She stumbled, she stammered, she made a totally implausible attempt at swallowing her complaints and made a vow to keep her complaints to herself. She learned that if you wanted to keep the dog in the house, you’d best keep the door shut.

Unless the earth crashes into an errant meteor tomorrow I’ll keep using my phone, carrying my credit card, and ordering my underwear online. If someone tracks down the location of my phone maybe we’ll have a chat and if they get the size of my underwear then I’ll have another good reason to diet. I’ll just call it the price of freedom.

cided to “give up the ghost.” That was the same morning I dumped a quart of yogurt on the kitchen floor. Oh, and my truck decided to make some funny noise that took two weeks to figure out what was wrong and nearly four hundred dollars to fix.

Now some people bemoan these things. They cuss or fuss about how their plans were interrupted or about how if somebody would have been more careful or more responsible these things would never have happened. Well, if that’s you, let me give you some good advice… get over it! Quit acting like those things would never happen to you! They do and they will!

If you need some help in learning how to not let these things bother you, then I can give you some good places to start.

First of all, think about some of your friends who are fighting cancer. Then think about some who have just buried a loved one who died entirely too soon

and unexpected. Next, allow your mind to walk the halls of the veterans hospitals where young men and women are learning to use new mechanical limbs that replaced the ones that were blown off in Iraq or Afghanistan. Are you ashamed yet? Does it really matter that your son accidentally sat on your Oakley sunglasses?

I went to church Sunday morning. I spent a little extra time trying to get the wrinkles out of a shirt that I wanted to wear. I arrived, sat in a seat, and was greeted by my granddaughter who wanted me to hold her. I did (of course). We hugged, sang together and just held one another for a few minutes. I sat her down and noticed my shirt…it was perfectly wrinkled. I was reminded again that sometimes things don’t always go as you planned. Most of time, they go better.

Patriotism up close

The other day I was trying to give my 7-year-old daughter a lesson in patriotism and the proper way to care for the U.S. flag.

I explained that the flag should never touch the ground. I added if it becomes worn or tattered, it should be destroyed with dignity either though burial or by giving it to a patriotic organization, such as the Boy Scouts or the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to be ceremonially burned.

My daughter gave me a perplexed look and asked, “Daddy, how can you bury a flag without it touching the ground?”

It’s good to know that my daughter is the best kind of patriot – a questioning one.

Patriotism is not blind obedience to a government, but adherence to shared values of our Constitution. It is something we carry in our hearts and pass from one generation to another.

My first exposure to the concept of patriotism came at the hands of my first grade teacher, Carolyn Broadhead, at

Bateman Elementary School in Galesburg. Mrs. Broadhead would have my class stand up straight, place our right hands over our hearts and then direct eyes our eyes to a flag hanging in the corner of the classroom. She would then explain in a careful, pedagogical tone each word of the Pledge of Allegiance before any of the 6-year-olds were allowed recite the words “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America…”

For Mrs. Broadhead, words were important. After all, she had taught generations of youngsters to read. It was important that none of her pupils made a promise to a flag that they didn’t understand.

I still remember the waxed tile floors, the dusty chalk boards, the old wooden desks and the careful inflection of the words “and to the republic for which it stands” echoing through that quiet brick building.

Later in life as a young reporter I would hear that pledge spoken again –

this time in a federal courthouse. Hundreds of new citizens would stand before a flag hanging at the front of a courtroom and recite in a cacophony of accents from around the world, “one nation under God, indivisible.”

It was a sound that could bring tears to the eyes of even the most hardened journalist.

After all, we are a nation of many ethnicities, religions, heritages and races.

We lack a king or queen. Our nation is more than an accident of geography and politics. We exist as a people joined by a belief in freedom and law.

The wisdom of those flawed men who signed the Declaration of Independence 237 years ago permeates our republic to this day.

It is with those shared principles we can say: “with liberty and justice for all.”

Natural Law and the 4th of July

Will you be celebrating Natural Law this July 4th? You should be. Your Founding Fathers did.

In declaring their independence and asserting their God-given rights, the Founding Fathers—particularly the pen of Thomas Jefferson—acknowledged the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.” These were no minor things. Indeed, maintained the Founders, you were entitled to them. (These were days when an entitlement meant something rather than any new thing.) The Founders believed that, in the course of human events, they had at long last arrived at that point where they and their countrymen could rightfully assume these rights “among the Powers of the Earth.” They were not only declaring their independence from the British Crown (itself a huge deal); they were asserting self-evident truths and claiming certain unalienable rights that were theirs not only as Americans but as humans.

So, what of this Natural Law stuff?

What did and does it mean? And why does it still matter?

“There can be no doubt that those delegates in Philadelphia who adopted that Declaration believed in, and based the nation’s independence on, the Natural Law,” states Robert Barker, professor emeritus of law at Duquesne University, and an eloquent expert on the subject. Addressing the American Founders Lecture Series, held quarterly at Pittsburgh’s Rivers Club by the Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College, Barker defines Natural Law thusly: “God, in creating the universe, implanted in the nature of man

a body of law to which all human beings are subject, which is superior to manmade law, and which is knowable by human reason.”

The Natural Law as understood by the Founders, says Barker, was the same that for two millennia had been a “traditional and essential” element of Western civilization.

To illustrate the point, Barker marshals the likes of Aquinas, Sophocles, Aristotle, and Cicero. Among them, he cites Sophocles’ play Antigone, where the heroine (of the same name), condemned to death by an unjust king, informed the king that he was violating a superior, natural law.

“I had to choose between your law and God’s law,” she told the king, “and no matter how much power you have to enforce your law, it is inconsequential next to God’s. His laws are eternal, not merely for the moment. No mortal, not even you, may annul the laws of God.” As Aristotle put it, the Natural Law is a universal law that transcends earthly regimes and stands common to all human beings, “even when there is no community to bind them to one another.”

Cicero saw Natural Law as true law.

He wrote: “True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting…. It is a sin to try to alter this law … and it is impossible to abolish it entirely.”

He added that “whoever is disobedient” to the Natural Law “is fleeing from himself and denying his human nature.”

The Natural Law is profound and profoundly true. Sadly, it has been pro-

foundly ignored and rejected by modern liberals/progressives and the nation as a whole. We could rattle off a litany of examples, but a major one occurring right now is the issue of “same-sex marriage.”

The idea of a man and a man or a woman and a woman marrying one another is an unequivocal violation of the Natural Law. It is an arrangement gravely contrary to human nature. Unfortunately, today’s liberals/progressives could care less; they are fine with happily embracing any and all violations of Natural Law in pursuit of their own new, enlightened laws. It’s part of that glorious “fundamental transformation” of America.

Beyond liberals/progressives, there are countless millions of ordinary Americans who likewise could care less. Their idea of America and July 4th is hot dogs, beer, and fireworks. Natural Law? Sounds boring.

Well, it isn’t. Few things are actually as exhilarating, uplifting, redeeming.

Think about it: the Creator implanted in you—that is, in your very nature—a body of truth and law to which you and all human beings are subject; it is superior to manmade law, and it is accessible and knowable by human reason. Sounds like something worth knowing.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Although her retirement as librarian for the Pleasant Hill School District was official May 31, Becky Krusemark is still on the job.

“The end of the year is just crazy,” Krusemark said. “So many books are turned in at the end of the year. It takes a while to get them cleaned and back on the shelf.”

Krusemark, who has been with the Pleasant Hill School District for the past 11 years, said when all the books are in the library, there isn’t enough room on the shelfves.

“So I go through and pick out the ratty ones or the outdated ones and throw them away,” she said.

Krusemark started in the Pleasant Hill School Distict in the 2001-2002 school year as a teachers aid and library aid and also has taught Title 1 classes at the high school.

“To be a librarian, you have to have a teaching certificate and a degree in library science,” she said. “I didn’t have that, so I was the aide.”

Krusemark said each class visits the library once a week, usually for one class period.

“I considered myself the literacy coach or reading cheerleader,” Krusemark said. “I collaborated with teachers to make sure there was enough books if they were doing a section on dinosaurs or something.”

Krusemark said she usually had what the teachers needed in the library but if not the school was associated with lending libraries and she could borrow books from those sources.

Keeping the shelves full of books is not as easy as it once was due to the budget cuts in education.

“I try to make the money go as far as I can,” Krusemark said.

“When Fairfield has its sale, I try to get up there and buy books and I go to garage sales all the time looking for books.”

Pleasant Hill participates in the Accelerated Reader Program and Krusemark said she has to watch and make sure those books are added to the list when they are acquired.

Accelerated Reader allows students to read books, then take tests about the book on a computer to test the reader’s comprehension of the material. Points are allotted based on the books’ difficulty.

Memorial Service for

JUDY FERGUSON Missouri State and relocated to Illinois with him. Prior to that, she had taught in school in Missouri for nine years. She worked at a bank in both Illinois and Missouri.

She marvels at how times have changed.

“I went to a one room school in Missouri,” Ferguson said. “That was the highlight of my education.”

Ferguson said her first teaching job paid $7,000 per year and has the salary has progressed, so as the job.

“I get a lot of ideas for projects for my students from the Internet,” she said. “There are so many more resources out there than there used to be.”

Now that she has retired, Ferguson says she plans to spend her days doing the things she wants to do, including enjoying her grandchildren.

“I will still sub some and do some other things I’ve always wanted to do but never had time in the past,” she said.

Ferguson said her key to becoming a good teacher was organization and she doesn’t expect to abandon during her retirement.

“I still will make my list every night of what I have to do the next day,” she said. “I will miss the students, the friends and being involved with the community.”

She married Jack Klaffer and he preceded her death May 11, 1974.

She married Gary C. McBride Dec. 3, 1977.

Glenda was a graduate of East Alton Wood River High and received her master’s degree in special education from Southern Illinois University. Glenda loved teaching and taught at schools in Brighton, Hardin, and Kampsville before moving to Florida in 1992. She resumed teaching in Okeechobee, Fla. focusing on special education until her retirement. For several years following her official retirement, she continued to volunteer in the classroom.

BECKY KRUSEMARK “When I first started, Accelerated Reader was something students did for fun or if they wanted to,” Krusemark said. “Now it is part of the curriculum.”

Although no one has been hired yet to take Krusemark’s position, Krusemark says she would like to be available to work with the new person to assure a smooth transition.

“My advice to the new person is to work with the teachers and get them what they need,” Krusemark said. “And to let the students know when they are in the library, it’s like they were in my house, abide by my rules.”

Krusemark said she has been honored to a part of the Pleasant Hill District and community.

“I love the kids, love the teachers and love the community,” she said. “I’m going to miss them.”

Krusemark said she is honored to have worked with so many fine teachers including Karen Dolbeare, who died during Krusemark’s tenure.

“She and Susan Knipmeyer were the reading specialists and the Dolbeare family gave us the money from her memorial to renovate the library.

“Her mother also sent a check,” Krusemark said. “Her mother told me Karen was not a reader when she was little. Her mother said she went to one of her teachers and asked what it was going to do to get her daughter to read. They started her on Nancy Drew books and that’s what it took.”

Krusemark said when she started at the library, there were only a few Nancy Drew books but thanks to Dolbeare and her friends and family, there are now two shelves.

Krusemark said she hopes more people will support the school libraries by donating books, money or time.

“Volunteers are always needed,” she said.

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press After 23 years of teaching children the way she wanted her children taught, Judy Ferguson has retired from Pittsfield High School.

Ferguson was the family consumer science and personal relations teacher.

“I always picked my curriculum with the idea ‘What would I want my children to learn,’” Ferguson said.

She had the opportunity to apply that as she had all three of her children – Chad, Zack and Cassie – in her classroom at one time or another, Ferguson said she was lucky in that her curriculum was flexible and allowed variation.

“My area was not as affected by the testing and the need for scores,” she said. “There are still a lot of mandates, but not as much as say science or math.”

Ferguson said she tried to teach life skills to the students in ways that would peak their interest and at the same time be practical.

“We had a sewing class where everybody had to make a pair of pajama pants just so they would know basic sewing skills,” Ferguson said. “We also offered tailoring I and II for those who wanted to go on and sew, but for those who just needed basic skills it was a project they could take ownership of and make something useful. Some of them came up with phenomenal projects.”

Ferguson said about 50 percent of her students were boys and while the class was formerly known as home economics, Ferguson views it as a vocational class aimed at preparing the students for life after school.

A native of Mexico, Mo., Ferguson met her husband, Dana at what was known then as Northeast

Griggsville High School Class of 1963 May 29, 1963. It was on this date, 50 years ago, that commencement exercises were held for the 26 seniors graduating from Griggsville High School.

On June 8, 2013, 14 of these students, along with spouses, came together to celebrate their fiftieth class reunion. In an Old West theme, the former classmates gathered at the rural Griggsville home of Bob and Janice (Dunham) Barton for an evening of reminiscing about their days at GHS, catching up with their lives since graduation, and playing a trivia game about events in 1963. This was

followed by a delicious chuck wagon dinner and dessert.

After our graduation in 1963, some entered the work force, others joined the military, and others went on to further their education at college. We have had careers as barbers, teachers, nurses, law enforcement personnel, cosmetologists, counselors, farmers, chemists, state and federal civil servants, and positions in sales and in the hospitality industry. Some continue to make their home in Pike County, others reside in various cities in Illinois, and others traveled from their homes in Arizona, Florida,

Missouri, and Ohio to attend.

We were honored to have four former teachers celebrate the evening with us. They were Mrs. Betty Logan, griggsville (math); Mrs. Mary Meyer, St. Louis (home economics); Mr. Larry Bennett, Vandalia (teacher and coach); and Mr. Herb Sisler, Rockford (teacher and coach).

Five of our classmates have gone before us, but they are not forgotten: David Brown, Kaye (Stewart) Brown, David Hannant, Linda Wade and Denny Minear.

Happy trails to all, until we meet again.

Pittsfield, Illinois

Assistant Superintendent of Pikeland Community Unit School District #10 in Pittsfield,Gary Woods, gave a report on Pittsfield educational ratings on achievement tests this past school year.

All grade levels looked good in relationship to expectations.

This year, however, the state has changedthe cut scores used to determine whether a student meets or exceeds on the ISAT test. This change will significantly lower then number of students meeting and exceeding the state standards.

The scores are not reflective of what is happening in the classroom and Woods feels teachers are being “thrown under the bus” by the state.

Angie Greger attended also and spoke of her years in education with special emphasis on her principalship at PHS. Michelle Westbrook, is guidance counselor at PHS and announced the total of scholarships exceeded $1.4 million dollars this past school year and was an all time high for the school.

All year long she goads seniors to submit to her multiple practice resumes and letters of application for scholarships which she corrects and shows them how to do it better. The seniors then apply what she has taught and do it again.

The Rotarians listened intently as many of them are linked to contributing groups to scholarship funds.

New ideas are the lifeblood of any organization but great care must be exercised not to abandon that which is proven to work beneficially. Harry complemented fellow board member Mike Boren on his attempt to push for consolidation of several townships

regarding road and bridge maintenance and hopes he will continue to press forward on the issue. Wright then asked each person to list several things that might be done to improve our city, our county, and Rotary. Limited discussion followed and Harry indicated he would analyze the results and then report back to the membership once he gets his computer repaired.

Pittsfield, Illinois

Repair of flood-damaged property requires permit in Pike County As property owners in Pike County contemplate clean up and repairs following recent flooding, the zoning administrator’s office is reminding residents to obtain local permits before repairing or rebuilding flood-damaged structures.

The permits are required as part of the local government par-

ticipation in the National Flood Insurance Program, providing eligibility for flood insurance, flood disaster assistance, state and federal grants and loans, and buyout funds for flood-prone property.

Local floodplain management ordinances require that permits be obtained for any construction or development activity in a flood-

plain area, including the repair or reconstruction of structures damaged by flooding.

Special conditions apply to substantially damaged buildings -- those in which the total cost of repairs is 50 percent or more of the structure's pre-flood market value. If a building is found to be substantially damaged, regula-

Illini Community Hospital pharmacist achieves diabetes educator status

MARY BETH TATUM

The National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators (NCBDE) recently announced that Mary Beth Tatum, RPh, at Illini Community Hospital achieved Certified Diabetes Educator® (CDE®) status by successfully completing the Certification Examination for Diabetes Educators. Tatum is the first person at Illini Community Hospital and Blessing Diabetes Center to receive certification as a diabetic educator Candidates must meet rigorous eligibility requirements to be able to take the examination. Achieving certification status demonstrates to people with diabetes and employers that the health care professional possesses distinct and specialized knowl-

edge, thereby promoting quality of care for people with diabetes.

Currently, there are over 17,000 diabetes educators who hold NCBDE certification.

Tatum has worked at Illini Community Hospital for over six years as a pharmacist. She provides coaching to diabetic patients through the Illinois Pharmacist Association Patient Self-Management Program (PSMP) and the newly established Diabetes Center at Blessing Hospital.

“It is my hope that my studies will help me to improve the care that my patients with diabetes receive; and that I can be a trusted resource to educate and answer their questions,” Tatum said.

tions require that repairs not begin until compliance with the local floodplain ordinance is demonstrated. In some cases, that may require repairs that include elevating or flood-proofing the structure to reduce the potential for future flood damage.

Repair costs must be calculated by assuming the building will

Blind site drawing July 21 in Pittsfield

Every couple of years waterfowl hunters gather en-masse to compete for blind sites on the Mississippi River. This year the drawing date is Sunday, July 21 at 10 a.m. for Pool 24, which is the section of river from the Clarksville Sam up stream to the Saverton Dam. The drawing will be held at the IDNR office in West Pittsfield.

The drawing for pools 21 and 22 is also at the Twin Oak’s Sportsman’s in Quincy. These pool run from Saverton to Myer.

Thee drawings are highly competitive with duck hunters from both sides of the river bidding for a blind site. Often hunters will bring several families having them register to increase the odds of winning a blind site.

To enter the drawing, a hunter must have a FOID card, a current or a hunting license from last year and a Migratory Waterfowl Stamp, unless exempted by law.

Blinds must be constructed with a designated area identified by IDNR that selects the blind sites and erects

a post at each site. There are detailed instructions on how the blinds are to be constructed with a deadline when the blinds are to be completed.

I visited with Tim Krumweide, our local IDNR staff member, who coordinates the local drawings and also places the blind site identification posts. He is justly concerned with the river water levels that may well hamper their efforts to install the posts and could likewise create problems for blind builders.

If water levels stabilize, the department intends to mark 60 blind sites in Pool21 some 15 sites in Pool 22 and another 60 sites in Pool 24. Again water conditions and the effect of the several flood conditions we have experienced so far this year will determine the number and positions of the blind sites.

It should be noted that if those who are successful I the blind site drawing, fail to construct their blind in a timely matter or fail to build the blind according to specifications, will lose the site and an alternate hunter’s name will be drawn for use

Bocce unified doubles, Rose Cawthon, Derrick Hankins, first.

Chaperones and coaches for the Pike delegation were: Susan Anderson, Judy Hull, Judy Van Alstine, Jesse Van Alsine, Jessica Van Alstine, Alex Van Alstine, Jr., Belinda Van Alstine, Reena Roberts, Mike Roberts, Teresa Robinson, Rosie Cawthon, Ruth Ann DeJaynes.

OUTDOORS with Wayne Baughman

of the site.

Hunters should be aware if they fail to occupy their blind at least one-half hour before the opening hunting time each day, then the blind can be used by others. There are other rues governing the use of the blinds and these are detailed in general rules distributed by the IDNR. On a totally different subject, boat owners should be aware; IDNR will no longer send a notice of boat license expiration. Further IDNR is pushing the process of boat registration over the Internet or via a touchtone phone. The number is 866-8673542. To register on-line http:/www. dnr.Illinois.gov/recreation/boating/ pages/renew your watercraft registration. aspx. Payment can be made with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and E-check.

There is a so-called convenience charge added to the cost of the license renewal. By the way, the basic fee has been increased.

Welcome to Illinois where everyday is financially enlightening.

Lady Saukees celebrate 2013 season The Pittsfield Lady Saukees recently held a banquet to recognize players and honor the seniors.

Winners of awards were Addi Lagemann – Lageman was the co-MVP top offensive players. She had a 518 batting average, .559 on base percentage, .718 slugging percentage, 44 hits, 33 singles and 21 RBIs. Mackenzie James was also the co-MVP. As a catcher, James was a solid wall behind the plate, turned double plays, had numerous pick-offs on the bases as well as throwing out attempted stealing runners.

Madison Lewis was given the “Rudy” award, based off the Notre Dame movie about “Rudy” Ruttiger who gave his all day in and day out as a walk on for ND football. He played with heart and was an inspiration to his teammates even though he was never a starter and received little playing time his senior year.

“Our ‘Rudy’ was Madison Lewis for her dedication to the program and hard work each day for four years,” Amy Mefford, coach of the Lady Saukees said.

Bridgette Adams received the spirit award.

“Bridgett screamed her lungs out each game cheering on her teammates whether it was a tight game or a total blowout,” Meffors said.

Brittany Miller – “Based off of our Dari Ripple free ice cream coupon to any player who makes a diving play and shows exceptional effort to make a play, Brittany Miller, at shortstop, accumulated more PigPen certificates during the season than any other player, landing her the PigPen award for the 2013 season.

Caitlyn Harter – most improved.

“Caitlyn started the season with her first year in the program as a senior (formerly track) and was a substitute outfielder and pinch runner for us< “ Mefford said. “Part way through the season she worked her way up as a bunter, slapper, and pinch hitter.

By the end of the season and into the post season, she became my starting centerfielder and one of my leading hitters.”

Also noted at the awards night were all conference selections.

Naomi Ruble named Hero in Long Term Care

By JEANNETTE WALLACE Pike Press Naomi Ruble, CNA, has been honored as a Hero in Long Term Care by the Health Care Council of Illinois, Illinois Health Care Association and the Illinois Council on Long Term Care.

According to a press release from the Health Care Council of Illinois, she is being honored “for her dedication to providing the highest quality of life for nursing home residents” at Liberty Village of Pittsfield.

“Nursing home staff truly represent the heart and soul of long term care in Illinois,” David Voepel, executive director of the Illinois Health Care Association, said.

“From the minute residents wake up to when they go to bed at night, nursing home staff work to make their days brighter. Many residents aren’t able to get out in the community, so staff becomes a part of the resident’s family,” Pat Comstock, executive director of Health Care Council of Illinois, said.

Ruble has worked as a CNA at Liberty Village of Pittsfield for over ten years and she currently works in the assisted living area of the campus.

Carrollton native joins Ghrist Vet Clinic

By CARMEN ENSINGER Pike Press There’s no place like home… there’s no place like home… there’s no place like home. Say it three times and it will come true.

The newest veterinarian at Ghrist Veterinary Clinics in Carrollton and Pittsfield knows this to be true.

Jackie Reed, a 2002 graduate of Carrollton High School, became the newest veterinarian to join the clinic on June 3. A graduate of University of Illinois at Springfield and a 2011 graduate at the University of Illinois Veterinarian Program, Reed is the daughter of Dean and Carol Mann.

Becoming a veterinarian was something instilled in Reed at a very early age.

“When I was a child, my cat, who I still have who is 18 years old, had a urinary blockage and I brought him out here to Doc Hopkins and this kind of piqued my interest,” Reed said. “I had always liked science and loved all animals so with the combination of the two I realized becoming a veterinarian is something I wanted to do.”

Reed worked at a veterinarian clinic in the Peoria area for two years before getting the call to come back home – a call she had been more than waiting for.

“Honestly, I always wanted to come back here because it is my hometown and I love it here,” Reed said. “I actually interned in this very clinic when Doc Hopkins owned the clinic and then started

working here with Ghrist while I was in vet school during the breaks. I got to know Dr. Saxe and Dr. Graham and the opportunity arose where they contacted me they had an opening and it was just a perfect fit.”

Reed said she loves all animals, large and small, but her favorite aspect of being a veterinarian is dealing with internal medicine and preventative care for small animals.

“I love all aspects of veterinary science but internal medicine and preventative care are the things I absolutely love most of all,” Reed said. “I like working with problems such as hyperthyroidism or heart disease which can be treated medically where I can keep them going medically for the client.

Also preventative care such as heart worm and flea prevention. I love to educate the clients about the things they can do to keep their pets healthy. I would rather see you with them healthy than see you with them sick.”

Reed will split her time between the Pittsfield and Carrollton clinics working in Pittsfield on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and in Carrollton on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning.

Perhaps the best thing of all is Reed lives in the subdivision behind the Carrollton clinic so she will always be near her work in an emergency situation.

An open house was held on Friday, June 14 in Carrollton to introduce Reed to the community – though there was little need as most of them already knew her.

Prior to the open house which

JACKIE REED started at 11 a.m., Reed said she had performed a neuter surgery and dewclawing.

“We do just about anything here,” Reed said. “We have two technicians which do our monitoring under anesthesia and we have the capabilities to do pre-anesthesia blood work in cases of older dogs. With the younger dogs it is not a requirement but I strongly suggest it for the older dog who is going to undergo any type of surgery because any type of kidney disease could be made worse with anesthesia. If we can monitor their kidney function prior to going under, even with something as severe as kidney failure, if we do things like administer IV fluids which will flush the anesthetic out of their kidneys it helps keep them going.”

NOTICE Pike County Zoning Board of Appeals Public Hearing The Pike County Zoning Board of Appeals will meet Wednesday, July 17,2013 at 7:00 p.m. in the lower courtroom of the Pike County Courthouse.
