By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Lawrence Nolan, 63, is being charged with aggravated battery after he allegedly stabbed another man in rural New Canton Christmas evening.

According to Pike County Sheriff’s Office, a report of a stabbing was received in their office, via 9-1-1, at 9:07 p.m. Dec. 25.

Upon arrival of law enforcement, it was learned that Cliff Kirby, 45, New Canton, had been stabbed and/or cut more than once. The victim was taken to Hannibal Regional Hospital and later transported to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for treatment of his injuries.

He has since been released and is home recovering from wounds to his arm and abdomen.

Nowlan was detained shortly after the

Police identify suspects in airport damage, theft and other damages

By BETH ZUMWALT Pike Press Two local juveniles have been questioned in the Dec.25 crime spree that included damage to the Pittsfield Airport, damage to a vehicle at the airport, damage to an antique wind vane and a stolen four-wheeler that was destroyed along with damage to a school bus parked on the property where the four-wheeler was stolen, near the airport.

The damage was caused sometime during the over night hours of Dec. 25-26.

“We had about 24 of the lights along the runway broken out,” John Hayden, mayor of Pittsfield, said.

“Two mirrors were broken off of cars that were in the parking lot.”

The damage to the runway lights caused the airport to close to both incoming and outgoing traffic, according to Hayden.

“There was a family that had flown into Pittsfield for the holidays and were expected to leave Thursday morning,” Hayden said. “When they couldn’t they had to be driven to their home and then return later for the plane. They brought a mechanic with them to check it out before they took off because no one knew if it had been vandalized, also.”

Hayden also said another plane owned by a Quincy family was scheduled to leave Thursday morning and take the plane to Florida.

“That was delayed until 5 p.m.,” he said. “This really inconvenienced a lot of people and caused a lot of headaches.”

Hayden said the city was lucky that the Quincy Airport had extra lights and the repairs were made later in the afternoon of Dec. 26 rather than the two or three days originally estimated.

The airport was closed until Dec. 27 at

arrival of law enforcement and transported to the Pike County S h e r i ff ’s Department where he was later arrested.

Nowlan is lodged at LAWRENCE NOLAN the Pike County Jail awaiting a court appearance.

The Illinois State Police assisted the Pike County Sheriff’s Department in the investigation and apprehension of Nowlan.

Nolan appeared in court and had bond set at $100,000. He posted bond and was released pending court appearance.

The investigation is still ongoing with further possible charges pending.

8 a.m. and originally was only going to be open daylight hours only, when the repairs were made sooner, it was fully opened.

John Guthrie, manager of the airport, said he discovered the damage about 7:10 a.m. Dec. 26.

“I saw the wind-T was damaged and then as I drove down the runway, I saw the broken glass.”

Guthrie said it is his opinion, the vandals used an object to strike the globes on the lights, using a golf –type swing, causing the glass to shatter across the run-way.

“There were smaller pieces and then there were bigger shards,” Guthrie said. “If a plane had landed and ran over one of those shards and blown a tire, it could have caused a fatal accident.”

The stolen four-wheeler was a Christmas gift to a family’s grandsons, who only got to use it Christmas day before it was stolen and burned beyond repair in the early morning hours of Dec. 26.

Jennifer Thompson, assistant police chief for the City of Pittsfield, said evidence left at the scene and camera footage led investigators to the suspects. and although they have not filed charges yet, reports have been forwarded to the Pike County State’s Attorney’s office and formal charges filed later this week. Names are not being released due to the age of the suspects.

No estimate of the cost of the crime spree has been given, but Hayden says damage to the airport alone will be thousands of dollars. Vandalism at an airport is considered a federal felony and it is unclear if and when those charges will be filed.

“We haven’t heard from Springfield, yet,” Hayden said.

USMCA trade deal finally passes House

By DAVID CAMPHOUSE Pike Press An important trade agreement impacting Illinois agricultural producers and manufacturers is one step closer to taking effect.

The United States Mexico and Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support. In fact, the House approved the legislation 385 to 41. “We expected it to get through the House,�

Pike-Scott County Farm Bureau manager Blake Roderick said, expressing frustration with the delayed House vote on the agreement. “The support has always been there.�

Congressman Darin LaHood was among those representatives who supported the passage of USMCA. LaHood noted the legislation would have a positive impact on Illinois farmers. “Forty percent of the products we grow in Illinois go to Mexico or Canada, and this trade pact will strengthen that vital relationship and provide needed certainty for our producers,�

LaHood said.

According to Roderick the primary impact of USMCA on Illinois agricultural producers is eliminating disruptions in trade between the three largest North American countries, which is a sentiment shared by Farm Bureau at the state level as well. “Having that open border for trade is always

preferred,� Roderick said. “This modernized trade agreement maintains our tariff free access to two of our top three export markets and positions us to sell even more to our northern and southern neighbors,� Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert, Jr., said.

Canada and Mexico are also significant markets for Illinois’s manufacturing sector. The two countries account for 40 percent, or $27 billion, of the state’s manufactured exports, according to the Illinois Manufacturing Association. “Illinois is a major trade partner with Canada, and it’s not just grain,� Roderick said. “Cat(erpillar) and (John) Deere do a lot of business up there too.�

While USMCA will have a notable impact on the manufacturing sector, Roderick emphasized the importance of agricultural trade with Canada and Mexico. “One in five Illinois acres goes to feed Canada and Mexico,� Roderick said.

According to estimates from the office of Congressman LaHood, USMCA will: Q Bring over $68 billion in new economic activity.

Q Add 176,000 new American jobs.

Q Add 76,000 new American automotive sector jobs.

USMCA will pass to the Senate, which will also need to pass the trade agreement for it to take effect.

Drainage district (Continued from A1) report by Chairman Rodger Hannel also indicated that “There is no update regarding the purchase of the property north of the Highway Department. At this time other options are being explored.�

The report also stated that a bridge across the Sny in Cincinnati Township has been replaced by welding two 75-foot railroad tank cars together to make a culvert.

Nov. 13: Pike County farmer Phil Bradshaw releases book, Your Food, My Adventure, which outlines the author’s life. Bradshaw says the book was 80 years in the making and recounts his experiences in farming, public policy, and other aspects of his life.

Nov. 27: The creation of a new Pike County Sheriff’s Office school resource officer position was approved by the Sheriff’s Office, Griggsville-Perry, Pleasant Hill, and Western school districts. Deputy Chass Anderson was named to fill the role starting on Dec. 1.

Anderson had previously served as D.A.R.E. officer in the three districts. The school resource officer will work with the three school districts to assist with security and to build stronger relationships between law enforcement and district families.

Dec. 1: Picture Pittsfield coordinated the first annual Deer Santa Festival around the courthouse square.

STATE SENATOR MCCLURE VISITS PITTSFIELD ROTARY

Email: dlworkman2000@gmail.com

David Fuhler, right, introduced the Wednesday, Dec. 18 Rotary program, State Senator Steve McClure.

Steve has been a State Senator for just under a year and is a former prosecutor. Steve is one of 19 Republicans in the Senate and 40 Democrats make up the remainder of the Senate. A bill requires 30 votes to be killed so the Democrats have a super majority in the House & Senate. Senator McClure shared the experience of his first bill that passed which was to create pediatric cancer license plates. Proceeds from the plates will be donated to help further Pediatric Cancer Research. Steve stated that Martin Sandoval will resign effective January 1, 2020 who is currently under FBI Investigation. Senator McClure described a variety of bills including the Capital Bill, Minimum Wage Bill and the gas tax. Major infrastructure in our area will be completed through these bills making it difficult for Senator McClure to vote against them.

Senator McClure states that the Republicans negotiated bills instead of voting against them. Steve described some of the negotiating points from the Abortion and cannabis bills. Senator McClure mentioned the new bridge approved for Hardin and how he has been attending several town hall meetings.

The Senator encourages anyone to call his office at any time to discuss issues. Steve loves serving the people in the Senate. Steve took several questions from Rotarians to close the program.

Our View BEGINNING AGAIN

Time to think ‘big picture’ New Year’s is often thought of as a time for reinventing oneself — for pledging to do better than last year.

This idea of new beginnings brings to mind the concept of rebirth summed up in a quote from Irish philosopher and priest John O’Donohue: â€œâ€Ślet us look again at the lives we have been so generously given and let us let fall away the useless baggage that we carry — old pains, old habits, old ways of seeing and feeling — and let us have the courage to begin again. Life is very short, and we are no sooner here than it is time to depart again, and we should use to the full the time that we still have.â€?

It is easy to think superficially and selfishly in regard to New Year’s resolutions. We often think in terms of fitness and nutrition, in terms of correcting bad personal habits.

And, indeed, New Year’s marks an important passage of time, a milestone by which to measure ourselves — or a starting line for launching new behaviors and habits.

Perhaps our time is better spent, as O’Donohue indicates, being thankful for the time we have and doing the best we can with the time we have left.

By all means, let’s all eat better and exercise more in 2020 than we did in 2019. More importantly, however, let’s all be a little more thankful for the time on earth we’ve been granted, and let’s be a little kinder to those with whom we share this earth.

Self improvement is inarguably a good thing, and we should all tidy up, get organized, exercise, and eat right. However, we should, more than anything, be the neighbors we would like to have.

So, in the new year, let’s all make an agreement to do just that — take time to do the little things like putting the shopping cart back where it belongs, digging out a neighbor’s driveway, or even just greeting a stranger with a smile and a hello.

This New Year’s let’s take time to consider, not how we want people to remember our houses looking or how physically fit we were, but how we made other people feel when we spent time with them.

PICKINGS FROM PIKE’S PAST 75 YEARS AGO: 169 BABIES BORN AT ILLINI HOSPITAL IN 1944

150 Years Ago Jan. 6, 1870 The weather has not yet been marked by any extreme cold, but the roads have been very far from good.

The bridge across the Illinois River is expected to be done by the end of the week, and immediately upon its completion, the work of laying the ties and iron upon the road will commence.

The members of the present Congress in the arrangement of the bill for taking the next census, are so framing the same as to make it a vast political machine, and probably formidable enough to return nearly all the present representation to Congress.

AIC teaches Pleasant Hill students about soybeans The Pike-Scott AITC program visited Pleasant Hill Elementary to teach the students all about soybeans. Students learned how soybeans are grown and what types of products contain soybeans, such as soy candles and soy sauce.

They even got to taste two soybean products: chocolate soy milk and tofu.

The students watched videos on the production of soy milk and tofu as well as on how soybeans are grown and shipped all across the globe. Many were surprised that soy-milk doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually have any milk in it. The students created Little Drummer Boy inspired drums made from hard plastic cups, soybeans, and soy plastic balloons. Some other activities that the students completed were a soybean-

themed crossword puzzle along with a coloring sheet starring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fredâ&#x20AC;? The Dancing Soybean.

Each student also received a Soybean Ag-Mag and teacher Heather Evans received several soybean-themed handouts/lesson activities to use at her leisure. Thank you so much Pleasant Hill Elementary and for letting us visit!
